This argument totally ignores Microsoft’s consideration of what might happen after that endgame-state, and what utility (if any) it would have for them. Specifically, Microsoft would have everything to lose if it placed all of the Windows-like APIs into their Linux kernel, even if that were in the interests of “de-complexifying” their Azure business, because after that they’d be on par with every other Cloud/PaaS provider and they’d be outcompeted on cost by the likes of Amazon Web Services.

> What options do we have in Python world if someone wants to migrate CMS based sites built using WordPress ?

It is more of an equivalent to Drupal than WP in terms of scope, but Plone[0] has been used on a lot of sites, and has ticked all of the boxes mentioned (i18n, a11y, etc.) for a very long time. The underlying Zope web application framework isn't particularly popular these days, but is a solid (if somewhat idiosyncratic) foundation. At 22 years old, you could call Zope the emacs of Python web frameworks.

There are also a variety of CMSs based on Django or Flask, but I'm less familiar with those.

I’ve used the KDE Neon beta recently and been surprised at how it doesn’t need much RAM to run. Unfortunately open a few browser tabs and that eats up all the memory.
What’s math?
Now take that same code and run it on a mobile device. Can you say for certain that it's making optimal use of power? And if not, what changes would you have to make so it does?
There are lots of lists out there by total album sales, as that's a simple methodology, but personally I don't find those lists useful for discovering good music or guiding me towards music I may already know about but haven't listened to in depth. Pretty much everything in at least the top 100 I'll already know about (because it's literally the bestselling music of all time), and to the extent I'm not listening to it already, it's because I know it's not my cup of tea. E.g. I know Michael Jackson has gotta be in the top 3, if not #1, but I also already know exactly my opinion on his music.

So best album lists, while of course not objective, are actually useful to me in a way that sales rankings aren't, so long as I find myself roughly in accordance with the editorial judgment of the list makers. And that is very much the case with the Rolling Stone lists, though not the recent list as much as the previous lists. Meanwhile, I wouldn't get much use out of a ranking of modern country / rap (either best-selling or "best") simply because I tend not to like those genres generally. Rock (particularly classic/hard/blues/prog/experimental) is my favorite genre, and Rolling Stone is more a rock music magazine than anything else, although based on the way these lists are going that seems to be less so over time.
Even then, app launch times were around 5 seconds and once launched the UI didn’t lag for basic operations like dropdowns or opening “properties” dialog boxes. UIs were somehow always smooth despite running on 1/10th of the processing power we have now.

I agree with lots of the stuff in the lists (I am a white male in my late 30s from an anglophone country). However...

Neither Aenima nor Lateralus anywhere in any of the lists??
Which is well and good! The previous published lists aren't going anywhere, and it's quite interesting to see how the rankings are evolving over time. That's giving us more data about changing tastes and Rolling Stone editorial judgment. It's strictly additive. Albums that rank highly on all 3 lists must really be damn good and stand the test of time even as tastes and society changes.
people have been using timers in the kitchen for generations. it's not simply the strict amount of time saved, but the mental cost, both in context switching and active attention.

- no Picture in Picture support in the iPad app. So I have to use a third party app. I think it supports PiP from Safari on the iPad.

- when iOS 14 came out and supported PiP on the phone, you could use PiP to view Youtube in Safari. Google went out of its way to disable it the next day.

- then people found a work around by viewing in desktop mode. A day later Google disabled that.

- So now I have to use a Shortcut to watch YouTube with PiP.
You're right, I've amended.
I think this would have been obvious when Microsoft pushed a "free" upgrade to every Windows 7 Home PC, to bring it to Windows 10. What they care about now are recurring revenues from monthly subscription services (xbox live gold type things), office365 type things, and azure services. And all of the usual tricks used to get people to use Edge as their default browser. Giving away the OS for free to accomplish that is clearly the way they're going about that.
It's mainly so I can "road warrior" to my internal resources from my laptop transparently. IPv6 is a good choice for this since it won't conflict with any NAT address space you're likely to be on.
I am afraid of EEE strategy of Microsoft . But,Windows having WSL means that Developers can target Linux only without even considering Windows , being sure that all Linux binaries run on WSL . But proprietary extensions of WSL should never ever be used.
Travel creates new unidentified clusters, the tourists also tend to leave the area rather quickly => very hard to find and trace who originally caused the cluster, and who were in contact.

Tourists also tend to have much different riskier behaviour compared to the average native inhabitant of a city (eg nightclub hopping many days in a row)
>As soon as you pay for software nowadays you are a loser, in general.

That is so true! I buy'd a Lifetime License for Insync and Jaikoz, Insync's lifetime was 4 Years (then they changed the license for updates) and Jaikoz "Lifetime" was 6 Years, change the name of the Software and split it in two different product and the 'old' one was not maintained anymore.
> "Ten years later, Azure makes Microsoft most of its money."

Well, no, not yet. Microsoft doesn't break out Azure separately. It's usually included in their "Intelligent Cloud", which is the largest segment, but that also includes SQL Server (a big money maker), Windows Server, GitHub, and other stuff. "Commercial Cloud" revenue (which is all the cloud portions of their products, from Azure to Office 365 Commercial) was $51.7Bln of $143Bln overall. So yes, Azure makes a lot of money, but not "most".
I use to live in NZ. At times I wish I had stayed because at least they've been out of this, but it's also an isolated island with ~4 million people.

Even though they've mostly had elimination (with one re-lockdown due to Auckland), I do agree it's a bad long term strategy. The T-Cell immunity research shows there may be more people who are immune than we think, and Sweden shows us this virus can safely burn out in a population.

People from NZ may not be able to safely travel out/into their nation for years.

I am very doubtful of a safe vaccine in any reasonable amount of time. Fatalities have dropped to the floor across the board, so everyone is going on and on about cases. We don't even collect the viral load amounts for PCR tests in most countries, so we have no idea how many infections are just traces of virus, versus full infections.

This whole show has been a clusterfuck. I think my predictions from March are coming true:

I'm curious if anyone's used, or has a good handle on what the future is, of LibreOffice Online? [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LibreOffice#LibreOffice_Online

In 2020, it feels positively archaic for me to edit office documents except in my browser and saved in the cloud, accessible anywhere.

Of course there's a bit of an inherent tension since there's really no such thing as a standardized open-source cloud to save to... which is why LibreOffice Online is "provide-your-own-filesystem".

But putting all the craziest ideas together in one jumble... has anyone ever seriously proposed something like distributed hash table cloud storage, extremely redundant, that was perhaps financed by a blockchain cryptocurrency operating on some kind of auction or supply-and-demand system, that could be used by open-source software?

So your storage would be virtually guaranteed always-available in a fully decentralized cloud, but with a financial incentive for people to contribute their own storage and CPU?

> ... likely to result in 2-16 deaths given case fatality rates in Iceland (0.5%) and globally (4%).

I can't believe people continue to use CFR for evaluating risk. It's a totally worthless metric, and now that we have serological studies, an approximation of the IFR is available. The IFR is somewhere around 0.5% plus or minus.

The disease is effectively the same the whole world over and is equally fatal the whole world over. The reason for an order of magnitude spread in CFR is because Iceland is testing everyone (hence approximating the actual fatality rate, IFR) whereas every other country is testing different groups.

Yes the fatality rate is 4% for people who walk into hospital hugely ill. This is a sampling bias. It's like saying skydiving is 99% fatal based on counting only people whose parachutes failed to deploy. Then presenting the risk as "anywhere between 0.001% and 99%."

It's about 0.5% across the whole population. Much lower for children (lower than the flu). About the same as the flu for 20s and 30s people, particularly healthy ones. It's much, much higher for old sick people (20-30% in a nursing home, for instance).

There's no way to say 2-16 deaths based on the 400 infected by multiplying 400 by 0.5%; it could be zero if the 400 infected were kids, and it could be 150 if the French folks did a tour of nursing homes.

[edit] 'just-juan-post' provided a link to a study indicating my figures are overstated and the fatality rates are probably half that. [1]

Fast enough depends on your needs. I work on a Gatsby site that builds ~9k pages in ~9 minutes in AWS CodeBuild. We're looking forward to implementing incremental builds at some point, but our current build time is acceptable.

I see Gatsby similar to Django in that it has "batteries included" for building a modern interactive site. It suits our needs quite well and I'm really happy with it.

Some background that helped me understand why any of the is is important -

The government want a way to charge assange with something, that they don’t then have to also charge all the national newspapers with who helped him - because that would then be a much more blatant attack on press freedom.

They want to charge him as some form of hacker instead of what it’s really about - that they don’t like what he did as a journalist.
I look at it like skinning.

The universe exists as a geometry. That geometry has properties with different interactions. The geometry exists regardless, but we can give that geometry a name arbitrarily.

It’s also the difference between music and math which is equivalent to me as frequency and quantifying frequency.

Vibrations interact with each other. Mathematics is the observation and labeling of interaction(s).

Tricky because vibrations are continuous and now we’ve got a can of worms on continuous and non continuous numbers. Haha.
So one does not need to own an IP address to run mischevious stuff from it. You could spin up a scan from a cloud instance pretty trivially, and distributed botnets/random script kiddies are a thing as well. There is also nothing keeping one from coming into possession of a large chunk of IP addresses except the financial barriers and organizational policy in the case of IPv4.

It should make one blanch the amount of energy that gets expended on wasteful attempts to brute force network address spaces, but it's just a reality of the Internet.
It also would be better for the proliferation of actual specs if we had an industry group offering up alternatives to, say, Cast and Wear APIs.

One problem is that what is going to completely blow up is at least somewhat unpredictable. And, especially if an individual is low level/status (unlike Eich), many companies are going to take the path of least resistance and "kill them all and let God sort them out" so to speak.

Which of course given that "blow up" is pretty much defined by social media footprint means that they'll also have whatever happened probably dog them is search results for a long time.
To be honest - it proved to be useful, but ordering was stressful, at least for groceries.

Creep is directly the reason that I didn't get into Radiohead until much more recently than when all of their ground-breaking albums were actually coming out. I've never liked that song (it's too whiny for my tastes; maybe it's nascent emo?) and yet it was getting all the airplay on the radio in my teens. So it directly discouraged me from delving deeper into the Radiohead catalog and listening to all those killer songs because that one song didn't gel with me (and of course one song is never a fair representative of an entire artist's oeuvre).

Meanwhile, that station, despite very much being a modern rock station that would blast Nirvana and various other 90s rock bands all day long, nevertheless still had real DJs who would occasionally play older "classic" rock songs like those by Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin, and those songs fucking rocked. So a few good representative songs from them led me down the rabbit hole of listening to those artists' entire catalogs N times over. Funny how Radiohead, which I actually lived through, I wasn't into at the time, but I did immediately appreciate the older classic rock. People like me are exactly the reason that Radiohead is moving up the list over time but classic rock bands aren't; they've already gotten their due for decades now. Now it's Radiohead's turn.

I'll do that later but I don't think it will lead to extreme CPU consumption.

There are many ways to improve performances of idle/almost idle ui.

Caching can be useful for large blocks of text as it tend to be the slowest thing to render.

But it is preferable to incrementally optimize/add complexity and check assumptions and not make large architectural decisions ahead of time.

One way to reason about it is to think in terms of pure data transformations.
It's worse than that. It's like if Amtrak had its federal monopoly, but was still a private company.
> That also doesn't take into account long term impacts that are not fatal

This is the new narrative and it makes no sense. The largest impact of this virus are the elderly and they can get long term effects from any infection, bacterial or viral. I read the 60+ person UK case study on long term effects published out of Charlottesville and almost all the major conditions were in the elderly or high risk workers (possibly medial workers; the paper didn't say for privacy reasons).

It's way too early to talk about "long term effects," when this hasn't even been around that long. Remember that 96% of fatalities in the US are people 55 and over, most of those in long-term care and retirement facilities. The areas that were hit the worst (Michigan, California, Kirkland/Seattle) were all cases of bad policy in regards to nursing homes.
Don't get me wrong, Guantanamo is a terrible place where human rights are blatantly violated and prisoners routinely abused, many times even tortured. Waterboarding is an insanely cruel torture technique. But it does not compare to NC prison camps, neither in scale nor in sheer horor.
I tried to make a presentation using LibreOffice (Impress). I just couldn't.

The UI is heavily cluttered yet key features like adjusting the font size of a bullet point weren't easily reachable, and attempting to fix that left the toolbars in a messed up state, with no clear way to "factory reset" only the Impress toolbars.

Overall, the UX feels like being stuck in a poorly thrown together version of Office 1995, where everything is technically there, but just somehow a little bit worse.

GIMP is another example of this pattern.

Examples of actually decent FOSS are Firefox, Thunderbird, Inkscape and Filezilla, although e.g. Thunderbird suffers from a lack of improvements, so it's still stuck in the 2000's when the rest of the world improved.
I think we agree on the facts. There is a process to get an exemption and without going through the process and a sufficient reason, the default is no.

(Building) Architecture as a career sucks. There's too many people going into it, and not enough jobs. Getting licensed is currently very onerous. Wages are low unless you're a partner or owner of a firm. When you're a partner or owner, you don't do very much in the way of drawing buildings (which is what people think architecture is like). Architecture is actually mostly managing lots of groups, the client (sometimes also their clients), engineering contractors, building contractors, permitting offices and inspectors, etc.
