We're currently migrating from VMware to libvirt, we discovered the cockpit project and cockpit-machines to manage VMs:

https://cockpit-project.org/

cockpit-machines is available in a recent version in debian backports, installing it is trivial, no configuration, https://hostname:9090/ and just works.

RedHat announced that cockpit will be the long term successor of virt-manager:

https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/managing-virtual-machines-rhe...

https://blog.wikichoon.com/2020/06/virt-manager-deprecated-i...

cockpit has frequent releases, latest:

https://cockpit-project.org/blog/cockpit-227.html

It hasn't all the features of virt-manager, far from it, but looks promising.

The hollywood principle is actually to me the definitive criteria. You plug your code into React and React ends up orchestrating and coordinating between your code, thus it is in charge of calling it and in what order etc.

That's normally what I would call a framework.

Now I don't know, maybe there's ways to use React only as a library, not sure if it would provide any benefit in that way.
I agree that this episode should be better known. Can you clarify the connection you see here?
I don't think that's a very fair argument. It makes sense to weigh up the legitimate uses of a technology vs. the illegitimate uses and see if the cost is worth the benefit, and if you are unfamiliar with a certain technology then it might not be obvious what the legitimate use cases are. To me it makes sense to take the time and explain the good things you can do with it and why that's worth a few people being able to abuse the technology.
Yes. Suck it Betteridge.

> The way I interpret the lottery ticket hypothesis is that you don't actually need the full sized networks (with their structure and parameters) in order to perform well at some tasks

Actually that's not the point. Pruning typically results in networks that still perform well but are harder to train. The idea is to explicitly search for a subnetwork (via pruning) that is easy to train.

> Although what I'll give you is that with smaller networks the required sample size is expected to shrink (due to curse of dimensionality).

I'm not so sure about that either. From (https://arxiv.org/abs/2001.08361):

> Larger models are significantly more sample-efficient, such that optimally compute-efficient training involves training very large models on a relatively modest amount of data and stopping significantly before convergence.

My second and third links are also important! The second talks about generalizing "winning" tickets across other datasets and optimizers. The third talks about weight agnostic neural networks, which in a nutshell are still capable of more-or-less performing a task even with _randomized_ weights.

Weight agnostic networks have a lot of parallels to wildlife that is capable of certain behaviors required for survival effectively immediately, before there's been a chance for significant learning to take place. This is the counterpoint I was referring to - an equivalent phenomenon could explain (at least partially) why humans require so much less data when learning.

India currently has a law forcing the scrapping of all petrol and diesel vehicles after 15 years of manufacture.

This is unnecessary as it will force perfectly usable vehicles to be scrapped and it would come at a huge cost to the environment.

Ideally it would have been good to allow this change for internal combustion engines as well so as to allow ICE cars to swap out their engines for more fuel efficient engines.

I'd say in the early days they were on the way to getting that mindshare. I had SME clients using them, where VWO was cheaper but they didn't like using VWO.

When Optimizely hiked their prices and lost the smallest plan, all these clients went elsewhere. I'm sure their contribution was noise to Optimizely's turnover, but the awareness of what was possible with A/B testing and the way they'd tell their friends about Optimizely and what they'd just done on their website - you couldn't buy that exposure.
No, they made a big deal of giving a ten-years period to developers to port their code before depreciating python 2.

But honestly, there are more breaking changes between two versions of ruby than between python 2 and 3. And during the time python 2 was still supported (until the last day of 2019), most features that made it into python 3 and could be backported were backported into python 2.

It will be a pain for those who aren't used to python 2 encoding errors and other nice stuff that they got rid of in 3 to make it a nicer and more robust language. And the will miss the new and shiny features that will make it in new python 3 version after python 2 EOL.

But apart from that, it's almost the same language, they just made the transition from 2 to 3 to be able to introduce some breaking changes in places that unfortunate design choices had made their way into the language and couldn't be rolled back because people running python 2 in production depended on those. So they upped the major version, introduced some breaking changes (but not that much really) and gave developers 10 years of support for the older language so they could port their codebase to the new version.

And porting a python 2 app to a python 3 app isn't such a hard task. But! If you've got a big app that's working now, even if the changes aren't that drastic, you can't be sure that the port won't introduce some hard to find bugs that will be a pain to debug. Hence why plenty of companies are still running python 2 versions of their apps and will do so for the forseeable future.

But, throwing a python 3 dev at a python 2 codebase is totally doable, it's just that the guy or gal will miss the shiny stuff that didn't get backported into 2 and will break their teeth on some behavioral changes between the two languages.
At work, I aim for four nines. (We put three nines in the legal paperwork).

I can't hit four nines reliably with single VPS platforms on my typical workloads, I need load balancers and redundant app servers. I could quite likely hit three nines using single VPSes. But if a client wants 99.9% SLAs, they'll be paying for HA and I'll deploy redundant ec2 instances, multi region RDS, and an ELB. And charge them 3 or 4 times what the OP is spending for it. (And I'll almost always deliver 99.99% availability.)

For my stuff or friends or people I'm doing cost saving favours for, I'll explain how much extra it costs to guarantee less then an hour of downtime a month, the realistic expectations and historical experience of how much downtime an non-HA platform might have in their use case, and often choose along with them a single VPS (or even dirt cheap cpanel hosting) while understanding and accepting the risks associated with saving upwards of a couple of hundred bucks per month.

Firstly, how do I prove to Facebook that I have an appropriate license, or that one isn't required (for example, music in the public domain)?

Second, it is legal (in the United States) to perform or play music, even copyrighted music, at personal, private, non-commercial events. These events can be in-person or online. As an example: it is legal ("fair use") for someone in my family to strum a popular, copyrighted tune on their guitar during a family gathering. Another example: it is also legal for us to listen to music that only one family member owns a legal copy of -- this happens any time someone puts on a CD during Christmas. These perfectly legal, normal, un-bureaucratic activities seem to be prohibited by Facebook's new rules.

During COVID-19, online experiences have replaced many experiences that people would otherwise have had in-person. Facebook's rules seems to be unnecessarily restrictive, which is especially disappointing during this time when many experiences people would be having face-to-face are now taking place on its platform, or on competitors' who may imitate Facebook's policies.
I believe it's to make it a bit more difficult to get the replies. If someone REALLY wants to reply, they can spend the extra 1-2 minutes to go to the company's website and either write to them via their Contact Form(s), or find their "info/sales/privacy/etc@company.com email, and FW the original+comment to that new address.
Atleast where I love, when you're not permitted to work you can sue the employer, since you have a right and obligation to fullfill your side of the contract just as the employer has a right and obligation to fullfill theirs. Not being able to work would be a contractual violation suffered by the employee.

It is trivial to design a system that powers off when unstaffed. Without power, this reactor will SCRAM and passively switch to air cooling over the course of a month.

You are just listing newspaper headline items, I'm not sure how they are relevant when comparing BJP with the Republican Party. Let's actually talk about the policies and contrast. Some of the government schemes announced (and in progress) would make Modi right at home in a Bernie Sanders town hall meeting rather than being similar to the Republicans. Just off the top of my head:

* Modi doubled down on Congress' NREGA scheme for providing guaranteed 100 days of pay to rural workers, whether they worked or not.

* Introduced direct cash transfers to farmers.

* Various farm loan waivers, especially some of the BJP-led state governments.

* Announced a free healthcare under National Health Protection scheme.

* Free housing, electricity and LPG gas connections for the poor.

* Introduced long term capital gains tax in 2019.

* Non-opposition to LGBT rights. I say "non-opposition" because they don't champion it like the Democrats, but are neutral since it's not a big ticket item in Indian society or politics. They passed a bill to prohibit discrimination against transgender persons last year (but there is some controversy surrounding it [1]). Again, a big no-no for the Republican Party.

* Massive push for renewable energy - India doubled its renewable energy capacity in 3 years and on track to triple it in the following 4 years [2]. 47 GW (45% of all under development) coal projects was cancelled just in 2019 [3]. Good luck trying to get the climate change denying Republicans to do this.

BJP's economic polices are as socialist as they come [4]. None of this would fly with the Republicans. That's how they are different - in actual policy positions.

Given that he's complaining about the price I don't think the wasteful costs here are justified. I'll also note the article was just edited and the costs are now up to $171 / month.

This app could easily be run on the AWS free tier, although even in the paid tier he could probably be managing a lot more than this workload for under $40 / month. (That's for two servers - which as has been pointed-out is wholly unnecessary for an app of this size.) The price he's paying is presently listed at $95.
Does sort of make a hash in Ruby more confusing to the untrained eye (unless the hash rocket is totally dead, I haven't written Ruby since like the 2.3 days):

{ "age" => age, "name" => name }

I like the idea a lot. It'd probably allow for some nice functional looking code, but that's also the problem... it'd only look functional. And I think without VM/compiler/runtime support of functional programming it's pretty much a big waste of time.

I can use piece shit for a shoehorn; doesn't mean I should.
I was a fan of upstart. It was simple, it knew how to perform the task it did it, it didn't try to be everything plus the kitchen sink, it worked well and it didn't get its tendrils in everything like systemd does (something that concerns me as it increases the attack surface).

It was a technically superior solution murdered by politics.

What's worse was all of the people who were going "why are you moaning? what's wrong? systemd is still an improvement on sysvinit!" as if being better than a bunch of bash scripts held together with bits of sticky tape and string was all the qualification needed to be PID 1.
Not sure if I'm going to build this yet, but I was looking into building a tool that let product designers/managers easily ask customers/user testers to record themselves trying to complete various tasks on a website.

e.g. "go to amazon.com and add an item to your wishlist"

I wanted to see if it was possible to make it so the tester didn't have to install/download anything. It is possible in modern browsers with WebRTC, but it's kinda clunky and doesn't work on mobile/Safari. A "cloud browser" was a solution I looked into a bit, but it seemed too complex for me to try implement on my own, which is why I'm excited to see this exist. Again, I'm not sure I'll end up working on this, so my feedback probably isn't useful, but I'm happy to give it anyway.

Another possible use case is recording for customer support (I run screenjar.com which uses WebRTC for this), but the main issue for this use case is customers would have to log in on the cloud browser which isn't ideal in terms of usability as well as security.

That is a strange assumption.

My answers to #1 and #2 would have been contradictory to you, but with 10 years to live I would see working at Optimizely for 3-5, then doing what I wanted to do for 7-5 years a great tradeoff.

Would I have said that in answer to #1? No. I'd have said "Travel and more time with friends and family", while knowing full-well I had to work, or I would starve.

Would I have said it in answer to #2? Perhaps, but unlikely.

What was the success rate with these two questions?

I would actually call this a bit of an antipattern.

`accuracy` seems fine to me -- although a more descriptive function name than `FuncName` might suggest a better parameter name as well.

Digging through the dictionary to find the perfect word means that whoever reads this code is likely going to have to do the same -- why would you ask them to do that?

If you aren't referring to a common mathematical or physical concept, and the word you need it isn't a part of your domain language, you're better off with "accurate but slightly vague" over "almost precise" or "precise but obscure".

It seems like the author's need would be better met by readable tests, guard conditions, and -- if this is part of an API -- documentation that describes how `accuracy` is used.
