WSL2 is barely esoteric at all, especially because it's hard to find anything that works in your chosen linux distro that doesn't work in it (except GUI has to be set up separately). WSL1 that's a bit more hit-and-miss, anything not quite low-level should be fine though.
No they don't. It's just the default signature; changeable like anything else.
Off topic: Are there more professional hunters than hunters than hunt for hobby? Curious how did you pick hunters profession to compare to software engineering.
Geologist here! A fun fact that has received some previous discussion [1] here:

Some of these same missing megafauna (likely giant ground sloths) dug an impressive network of several-meter-diameter tunnels through the unusually stable, iron-rich soils of southern Brazil, which survive to this day [2].

You can actually go and walk through these burrows, despite the fact that the species who dug them are long-extinct.

IBM did it for their mainframes back in the day.

Interesting, do they actually use the term FTTC during marketing? As far as I am aware, FTTC is just VDSL2 up to 35b or G.Fast ( or Cable DOCSIS 3.1 which isn't popular in UK ).
Unfortunately they've been quiet about when we can expect the new features to start being ready for testing - there was no news about DOTS in the new 2020 point release for instance
That's precisely the point, Oracle forbids benchmarking and comparisons in its licensing.

So how would anyone (legally) know?
Unreal is really badly documented for the most part. The basics are described, and the overall architecture of the engine is outlined but for most of the C++ codebase you either have to translate from blueprint code in your head or guess based on usage you can find in the epic code (i.e. most of the documentation for their containers has no examples or best practices so I have to read the code to find out how it behaves)
On many carriers you get only 2G speeds after you hit a certain point. I consider that disingenuous and deceptive to call it "unlimited" data when 2G speeds are basically unusable for most modern apps.
That rather depends on their socioeconomic status, and yes, the color of their skin.
In the second video you can see that the magnets in the top part move towards and away from the faceplate to release, retain the balls respectively.

> But the reason I specifically mentioned him is because he has many overtly Christian themes he actively portrays in his novels but I never feel like he is banging me over the head with obvious allegories.

Even outside of _Narnia_, Lewis is known for rather heavy-handed and direct allegory. I mean, I guess it might seem to not be hitting you over the head if you compare it to something that goes beyond allegory to direct interpretation, like the _Left Behind_ series, but...

> Tolkien may be a better example. You can easily read Lord of the Rings without picking up any Christian symbolism.

That's because, while there is considerable inspiration from Christian morality and mythology in LotR, Tolkien was actively opposed to allegory and thus did not write it or use the kind of direct symbolism associated with it.
This is partly due to the nature of your employment contract at AMZN. They can lay claim to all the IP you create while employed. You will need to get explicit permission to work on an open source project. This is fairly common at large companies.
I've long thought those should be legally pro-rated. Based on distance and signal quality there's a "per user" number for all of these. If you said "X" but based on my distance you can only give me 0.75X then that's how much I pay.

There should be a real financial incentive to upgrade their lousy infrastructure.
the base has to have depth or else the monitor will fall over. you can also pop the screen off from the base and do whatever you want with the loose screen. at least for mine. wires also typically are inserted parallel with the screen so no trobule there.
What I read is: if we had a sufficiently advanced format which can embed both the recording and ... "sound shaders" (effectively) we could totally do that. And I'd love to see that.

This is no accident. Between 2007 and 2011, the NYT’s revenue fell by half. It’s only recovered a bit since then. A lot of the paper’s senior reporters are gone, replaced by younger reporters who just aren’t very good. Bloomberg is pretty good these days, so is the Financial Times. I also have to give a shout-out to Jacobin. I’m just about the opposite of their demographic ideologically, but their willingness to acknowledge facts contrary to their narrative is unmatched. I’m also a huge fan of Vox’s podcasts. The online presence is mostly trash, but Ezra Klein, Matt Yglesias, and Jane Coaston are some of the most serious and thoughtful people in journalism right now.

I always wondered how people were capable of thinking that. I'm atheist myself, but I don't think consciousness can be explained away so easily. For one, we are observing something, there is something in that meat that is seeing the images our eyes process. It's one thing to doubt the consciousness of others as you can't directly observe it, it's another entirely to question your own. That can't currently be explained by known, reputable science.

What's more, it's unlikely to be a "soul", because the computational parts of our brains are aware of its existence, they're integrated; yet there is in fact an observer present.
Cell service is excellent throughout Finland. I’ve been in remote parts of Lapland and summer cottages and streamed f1 over 4g. Your mileage may vary but pretty much everywhere I get minimum 3G. Cellular is ubiquitous so unless you’re living in a bunker coverage will be excellent. I believe 100mbit is even a human right here?

If you live in a city there’s probably fibre laid down. Anywhere outside unless your neighbourhood pay for the fibre to each home you’re going to have to get a cellular modem :)

I don't see how this is at odds with anything I said, you're pulling in an entire platform into a game mid development cycle? That's going to hurt.

But can you imagine the nightmare if you weren't standing on the shoulders of Unity and trying to do it in your own custom engine? Especially on console? Unity is probably getting hardware before 99% of devs on some platforms, and they have resources that dwarf most dev teams when it comes to shaking out issues. It'd 10000x the nightmare to go it alone...

Like I said, it's not just Unity, and it's not like the game engines are even doing anything particularly brutal, they just treat major version releases with the weight they really ought to carry. You can upgrade, you just better have a damn good reason, and if you don't have good testing procedure you're going to suffer twice as much.

-

And honestly some of the pain is just out of their hands

I remember Wii U development was tied to a specific major release of Unity when N+1 came out due to their custom integrations. But Nintendo didn't track that update, and gave no time frame for doing so for a hot minute. Unity 5 just ended up shipping out of beta with no Wii U support

I don't know what a game planning on requiring Unity N+1 to ship would have done there, but I'm sure similar dependencies exist internally on other platforms that Unity has to manage.

They've essentially got multiple engines that all need to be landing changes together in sync, I don't know why people are surprised that such an insane technical challenge requires you to treat major versions with some real weight...
Nice. This suggests a similar mechanism for a larger display, where you have a board with a large number of holes and magnets to hold the balls, and a traveling write head that places them.

>Your wider point stands though: there's little reason to believe a replacement system instituted by the US Government would be better than the current one.

The US government doesn't set bail policy for the states or localities, only for defendants in federal courts[5].

In fact, such policies differ significantly from state to state[`0], county to county and even town to town.

Here's an example of the recently reformed bail system in New York[1], which differs significantly from its neighbor states New Jersey[2] and Connecticut[3]

A higher level view can be seen here[4].

Automatic Optical Illusions Using Python and OpenCV
You could reduce some of the downsides by reducing the amount required for bail by day and by adding limits for how long someone could be required to stay.

Also an automated system to calculate bail and maximum duration (as in not the judge deciding) might reduce some bias, so some categories of potential crimes don’t end up in jail while awaiting trial unless it’s a repeated offense.

Another approach could be to account for the pre trial days more favorably for the defendant: x days pre trial count for 2x days if convicted or need to get reimbursed at the higher of minimum rate or more than the loss of income. This approach would require a way to make sure judges don’t collude though.

Congrats on "being a doer" but trying to imply that people who aren't are worse developers than those who are is trying to measure the world by your scale.

You aren't necessarily a better developer (or person) for doing all of that than those who played videogame for all those hours.
Support for PIV cards on Linux/Mac is kind of sporadic, and very much DIY. In most cases authentication gets kind of tricky because you need to set up everything yourself on the workstation.

For web-based certificate authentication, if you follow instructions for setting up CACs, then you're usually good (but you have to just ignore the US Military specific stuff): https://militarycac.com/macnotes.htm

Yubico also provide some instructions for each platform: https://developers.yubico.com/PIV/Guides/Smart_card-only_aut...

https://developers.yubico.com/PIV/Guides/SSH_with_PIV_and_PK...

In the end though a centrally managed authentication solution isn't really easy a quick and easy set up for *nix or Mac, unlike Windows with Active Directory. Perhaps in the future something better will come along.

And the same applies with iOS and Android - I've seen some pretty hacky products where they'll interface with smart card readers onto phones do things like authentication to websites or email encryption, but in the end you had to use the vendor's browsers/mail clients instead because only they could handle the integration with the PIV cards. YubiKeys can now connect to phones too, but you've gotta have the right combination of YubiKey and phone to get that connectivity going - and you're still limited to what the apps on the phone actually support.
Well you definitely couldn't land the Highwind on it. Would make sense that you need a Gold Chocobo.
I can't remember where but I once saw an open source project provide an NFS server package. Why? Because in the cases you want to use FUSE (for example, to implement a locally mounted Google Drive/Dropbox/etc.), you could also just spin up an NFS server instead. That actually makes a lot of sense to me, because that NFS server is much easier to for example containerize (you can't actually containerize a FUSE implementation and use it on your host. Or maybe you can but at least that would be a very involved process). I'm not sure of NFS is the best protocol for this use case (maybe something like CIFS is better), but the general direction is actually interesting.
Orbital Edge Computing
I think Kafka inherits too much of this "heinously complex" reputation from Zookeeper (which itself is also not heinously complex, just some people have an allergy to either JVM, ZAB or both).

Internally it's one of the simpler pieces of software I rely on. It's base API is small and effective and works "as you would expect". Replication uses the same fetch API consumers use, because why wouldn't it? Controller election uses tried and true ZK patterns, it's log storage is pretty simple, even the compaction logic is understandable.

To be fair I have spent a lot of time with it, patched it and it's pretty much the core of my toolbox but I don't think this is a controversial opinion among data infrastructure engineers. Compared to other software we work with Kafka is some of the simpler, dumber stuff which is refreshing.

On the other hand I really want to learn Pulsar but it definitely is more complex, my hope is that complexity pays off with big architectural advantages but we will see. :)

On the topic of what to use it for chances are if you don't know what it's for you probably don't have the problems it's meant to solve. I don't mean that in a derogatory way just that it's designed for large distributed architectures where many interested parties want to consume the same data. Or where a small number of very high throughput applications need a buffered transport that can take the load and spill to disk etc. I.e it is inherently niche, most companies don't have these problems.

Why impractical??? Whith a diversified mix, energy efficiency, a big market for demand response, thermal storage, and a bit of electrical storage, there is no problem with current technologies. Coming tech could decrease the cost and make it easier to implement.

And nuclear is much much more expensive than most renewable now (https://www.lazard.com/perspective/lcoe2019/)

The kids aspect of that spiel was incredibly short. Maybe some people have more demanding children than you. But whatever, right? Judge people based on your own life if it works for you. It's as superficially impressive a hobby as any of your others.

Of course, I could equally judge you based on my own life experiences. An engineering manager? Pfft, managers are overpaid babysitters who add no value. And I've supervised ADHD dabblers - on the side, while working primarily as an IC. Their flurries of little shiny projects sure do look impressive, especially in meetings and on resumes, but when it comes to building something genuinely new and difficult, and persisting to a high quality finish? MAN, they sure require a LOT of hand-holding.

There are plenty of people out there who are completely different from you and yet contribute as much or more than you do. Get over yourself and appreciate human diversity a bit more.
Ankle monitors works for me, with cutting off the ankle monitor earning a one way ticket to remand. Seems like we have the technology to do away with cash bail.
Google AMP is bad. Google Pagespeed Insights is bad and misleading. Google has its own agenda for the web, and it doesn't really align with anything but the survival of Google.
Ok, so let's assume that only those 15% are actually innocent. Is that a low number? If yes, then what if it was 20%? 25% when does it stop to be ok to ask innocent people to potentially lose their jobs, custody of their children etc or put themselves una debt spiral instead?
I'm obsessed with MUDs. There's still a robust MUD community out there, but most people have never heard of them. I'm currently building one from scratch in Go. Fun times.

I also miss the good ol' BBS days. I know there's some BBS communities out there, but it doesn't feel the same without dialup. I also spent some time this summer writing Solar Realms Elite from scratch as well. I didn't finish it, but I got a decent engine going.

Speaking of BBSes, there was a networking protocol back then known as FidoNet which allowed BBSes to communicate and share information. In my more bored moments I've considered trying to find the spec and build some modern FidoNet clients/servers or whatever it is.

Short version: I really love the old text-based (ASCII ftw) internet days, and I think about that tech a lot.
Strictly speaking, petitio principii is not a fallacy of reasoning but an ineptitude in argumentation: thus the argument from p as a premise to p as conclusion is not deductively invalid but lacks any power of conviction, since no one who questioned the conclusion could concede the premise.

I started working at Oracle in 2001. There were two kinds of senior people there. The ones who sold their stock, and the ones who didn't. The first group would sometimes have a sold-off house or similar, the second group would sometimes have bitter people in it.
I would rather see 10 guilty people flee before their trial and escape justice, than see one innocent person get stuck in jail pre-trial because they couldn't cough up the cash for a bail bond, causing them to lose their job and ruin their life.

Means testing flat-out doesn't work. There are plenty of people who get caught in the system who can afford exactly zero dollars for bail, and I find it damn near impossible that any system set up to make this "fair" would ever allow for the possibility that they need to let a person go with no bail paid at all.
Margaret Sullivan should be made the new editor in chief of the NYT after Baquet retires in 2021. I’m utterly appalled by what he’s presided over during the last six years.
How do developers feel about programming languages?
Yes, indeed, I do believe it's both feasible and true, but let's keep the discourse in the context of desktop usage and desktop users: could you really advice a regular user to go through all those steps?

That's the point. In windows 99 times out of 100 you can just run the binary.

The Many Shapes of Site Reliability Engineering
With a diversified mix (with solar pannel facing different position also), energy efficiency, demand response, thermal storage and a bit of electrical storage, we definitely don't need a world grid
Yup, something like that.
Makes sense to me. The 90+% of non-dangerous individuals being detained should be thankful that we're able to keep the <10% off the streets.

Actually, that probably doesn't go far enough. We could probably get away with 95-99% collateral damage if we knew we were keeping a single extra dangerous person safely behind bars. It's just people's lives we're throwing away after all. What we need is to start arresting people sooner. As soon as they're suspected of a crime just throw them in jail so that they can't escape while we finish the investigation. We'd probably have better than anticipated performance because with the bolstered confidence in our police force more people would be willing to call in suspects and trust that something would be done about their perceived misdeeds.
>Nitpick: you’re presumed innocent, which is very different from saying you’re actually introvert.

No. Actual introverts are always guilty. :)

Why Are There So Many Programming Languages? (2015)
I would also mention that gpus are a GIANT abstraction, and since they are rev'd faster than arguably any hardware in a sytem, there are abstractions layered on top of that for the families and models of gpus too.

Another way of looking at it is -- I started playing with openwrt for a relatively small router, with 5 ports plus wifi.

I was amazed at not only the amount of openwrt code required to support the different router families and the different router models, but at the sheer amount of stuff turned on by default in the kernel just in case I might need to load a module for some obscure feature or package. I assume the same goes for a gpu driver both at the source level and in the kernel.
What about: is AMD on Linux anywhere close to Intel on Linux? No games, just 3D acceleration for the desktop, bug-free suspend and resume, etc.
