Find me a place in 2020 that will give you a significant part of a franchise's profits with zero experience and three months of training. And find me a franchise that will give me enough profit to buy a house with cash after only two years. And find me a franchise that I can buy with a few months of savings. None of these exist in 2020 and virtually anyone in 2020 would consider this series of events akin to winning the lottery. It's unheard of and preposterous.
Not to mention flammability of the material.
Yes. But can you undo single operations even as non-root user?
If you define "work" rather broadly, to include hobbies and the pursuit of personal goals, in addition to laboring for remuneration, then I would argue that knowing how to learn is probably the most important meta-skill one can have.
Yes, I work with CCD and SCMOS cameras and many of our sensors are cooled via Peltier cooling in a vacuum sealed chamber[1]. I have seen condensation on the sensor window due to vacuum failure before.

There is a lot of research. Check out the book “Altered Traits”.
These steps worked for me. Would be good to have better support from MS itself for sure (e.g. built-in X server) https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-dev-appconsul...
And I will keep using that because MS can kiss my ass. Windows 10 has been nothing but trouble, on years old machines, which you'd think would be rock stable.

Linux is. Linux is more reliable than Windows 10 for me, even though it takes days to properly configure every little thing, and it can crap out because the bootloader decided to quit one day.

Windows 7 was the pinnacle of this OS, now it's just a bunch of trash.

Everyone, including Microsoft, realized the desktop OS is just a host for everything else. Why they keep pushing ridiculous "features" and installation-breaking updates I don't understand.

And Windows 10 users are just beta testers for all this crap.

Yes, this is probably it. More specifically, any 128MB areas in the physical address space that do not have "System RAM" will not get a memoryN directory. You can view all the "System RAM" areas in /proc/iomem (if root, otherwise they're all 0's).

This was a good read. My question is though, what’s to stop this Kubenext of becoming the next kubernetes? To use the analogy, what’s to keep this sleek go orchestration from becoming the c++ everyone wants to migrate away from.

The networking bit reminds me a lot of Mesos, which was utterly hammered out of existence with corporations blind bandwagon riding of kubernetes. Mesos networking ran along with docker’s and required you to do borg-style service port mapping (albeit in an atomic number way). What I don’t like about 90% of this (and why ECS is my jam) is I want an orchestration of containers, I don’t want zookeeper, etcd, dns-proxy, the plethora of other services to make my orchestration - orchestrate.

I spent a good few years running cloud architecture and infrastructure and managed a few SRE’s. The thing that makes our lives easier was guaranteed red/blue deployments (mentioned a bit in the article with PinnedDeployments), auto-sizing clusters to resource totals (and out again for deployments). Terraform/CloudFormation or really anything IaC. Slackbot for deployments with rapid feedback of status through the CI chain. A kin to “bot deploy <repo> to <env>“ and let the bot figure out the config from yaml in the repo’s.

I had the most joy using DC/OS. I had the most commercial success with ECS. I’ve had the most requests for kubernetes. I’ve had the worst headaches with abstractions of kubernetes (packaged installers, canonical...)
Have you tried Internet Archive? You might be one of the lucky ones.

Just because you view all history as the result of a "secret cabal of evildoers" (in this case, plotting to preserve slavery) doesn't mean I have to.

As you let slip here, Horne's writings aren't about history: they're a form public of agitation so that "the USA will do less racist shit". Which would be fine if he was a social critic or a politician. But he's been passing himself off as a historian.
I wonder if the in-car map doesn't know about most of the chargers.

They're a corporation. They do not care about anything other than increasing their shareholder's profits.

This would not increase their shareholder's profits.
Agreed. This is a great point.

Thanks a lot for a very detailed response.

1. I was never comfortable discussing it with my manager.

2. Great advice on not bad mouthing others. Will keep it in mind. Actually I dont mind not getting a hike/promo. But underserving ones getting is what I am upset about. My manager is very good and I heard he has been trying his best. But I got to know its the layer above him that plays the spoilsport. Apparently due to the perception. I dont market myself and have always been humble.

3. Till now I never thought about quitting. Now I am contemplating. Somehow I get a feeling that its the same no matter where you go. My other plan is to stay here, but dont work hard. Just do what is asked. But its difficult to implement since I always want to give my best.
Just curious: Why is this post with kind words and a seemingly-helpful tip being downvoted? Is this bad advice for some reason?
Some of the ideas they came up with during the cold war sound like people were quite high when they came up with them. However, these were serious people coming up with outside-the-box ideas. "If we can think of it, so can $THEY" was a huge motivator.
Let's have a thought experiment: Tomorrow the government passes a law that outlaws the sale of Windows or any Microsoft alternative OS starting 1 year from now. This law is absolute and cannot be undone before the deadline.

What do you think would happen? Would the world just stop buying new computers? Would Windows programmers just give up and become say, blacksmiths?

Hell no! What would happen is the world would move on from Windows and the world would be a better place for it.

I suspect that dozens of alternative OSes would pop up (many based on Linux) and we'd start to get some real competition in the consumer space. Something that's been desperately needed for like two decades now.

It would be like a gold rush as developers, big companies, and startups in seemingly limitless number arise to fill every "gap" in the market that opened up.
I'm gonna be "that guy" and point out that the rock is a tool.

Different alternative would be to watch a street and see who has keys hidden outside. That way you're using part of the system to defeat the system.

It's difficult as those are added to form tighter bonds in the rubber (Cd) and promote flexibility (Pb). Not sure the alternatives would be any less toxic.
With an average car tire weighing in at 12 kg or so, I find it surprising that they can lose something like half a kilo per year and still be useable after a half dozen years.

I suspect what’s going on is that heavy truck and bus tires are shedding the bulk of the mass.

I’m not sure if there’s a takeaway other than a preference for rail when all else is equal.
I keep wanting to start a fund, to try to pay Dave to talk to some of his grand plans for rebuilding MetalLB.

He had some ideas for a sizable re-architecting, but was rapidly burning out, oh I dunno, like 1 year ago, 18 months ago. Maintaining such a vital yet support-needy project seems like it was taking quite a toll.

I love this "A better Kubernetes" theorcrafting but the post I really really want to see from Dave is "A better MetalLB". The indie operators everywhere would love to have some sights on what a better MetalLB might look like.
They couldn't resist not integrating the "full windows" into wp7/8. One platform to rule...nothing.

Which areas do you think suffered economically compared to the US due to not using slave labor in the 1700s and 1800s?

And if slave labor were an important component driving the relative wealth of the US, wouldn't you expect the abolition of slavery to decrease the relative wealth of the US?

But that isn't what we see in the decades after the abolition of slavery in the US: "In the last third of the 19th century the United States entered a phase of rapid economic growth which doubled per capita income over the period. By 1895, the United States leaped ahead of Britain for first place in manufacturing output." See also, "Gilded Age".
I live and breathe on the internet and have never been moderated once, even freely expressing myself, insulting people who deserve it, etc.

My point here is that if you think the current social media options have "heavy handed" moderation, you're probably the problem, not them.

Sleep duration is associated with brain structure and cognitive performance
Because most violent crimes start as non violent crimes.

That said, American police needs better funding and better training. They need to learn how to deescalate situations.

I agree with your comment, except what appears to be driving our response to the pandemic is a debt spiral and cognitive dissonance. I wish people would get hysterical enough to eg not travel for the holidays.
I hope some founders answer this. It’s always disappointing when I good question rises up the charts... and then gets barely any answers!
Are you sure it's dmidecode that's wrong, and not the DMI itself? dmidecode just parses what's given to it by the BIOS.

I believe the Economist is using the wrong term here, right? "Trans X" means "Was assigned another sex at birth, but feels like an X and wants to be called an X" I think, at least.
"Our findings demonstrate that reported sleep duration, but not subjective sleep quality is associated with both cognitive performance, especially in language subdomains, and white matter integrity of the SLF irrespective of age, sex, or BMI."
I would argue it doesn’t go far enough, especially in networking/discovery. Kubernetes is incredibly useful but I personally want more out of the box than just abstractions over existing linux technologies.
Darn, I'm user number 300-something, and my real first name is already taken as someone else's username.
Marketer and 7 time company founder/C-suite member. Every time a company fails, it's a function of one of two things:

1. A lack of a product people will pay for, reliably delivered in a way they're willing to accept. If people won't buy your thing, you don't have a business, you have a hobby.

2. Poor financial acumen leading to costs being higher than turnover. Unless a business actually turns a net profit, it's not a business. It's a subsidised organisation waiting to collapse.

There's a whole pile of ways both of those can go wrong, but it's always one of those two. Bad product &| marketing, or poor financials.

The may valuable piece of advice I can give is, work out a proper strategy (start with a model like Roger Martin's strategy cascade), and then for every thing you plan to do at any point in the business, right down a list of assumptions which would have to be true for the idea to be good. Then try and knock those down with evidence, starting with the most fragile, least likely, most important ones first. Always try and prove your ideas are bad, not that they're good. At least then you've robustly tried to kick the shit out of them before the market does.

This seems like it would be an advantage if other people weren't aware of this information. I wonder why they decided to publish it publicly like this.
Nobody lost anything from myspace that they actively didn't want. For over a year they announced the change was coming and to download and back up you stuff. Even now a lot is still backup on archive. Why are people so desperate to play the victim all the time?
This is like asking, "What was the point of buying a lottery ticket?"

For most people, the point is having a chance at being wealthy. Most founders believe they have a 90-100% chance of success, even though it's more like 0.01%.

Some others may start companies in order to get out of a painful career track or because they want to understand the process or some other ancillary reason, and they'll get more value out of the process than others would
Wow this is a very cool project! Do you know of any available video lecture from anyone teaching the curriculum? Unfortunately the name of the project makes searching a little difficult.

Electron isn't the answer. It's just a decent (if exceptionally bloated) solution to the problem that Microsoft intentionally created by making it so much of a pain in the ass to make truly cross platform apps.

Other, better solutions will be popularized soon enough. My money's on some of the promising new Rust GUI frameworks. Because even if they're limited in functionality at first their foundation is just too good to ignore.

If it is indeed a union mount mechanism, then that's truly a remarkable feature. Reading the documentation makes it sound like something akin to an symbolic link but perhaps not in the actual filesystem; I still can't tell if it's implemented in the kernel/FS or just the shell (or to what extent the two are integrated). If it's just the shell then this seems to be a shining example of where the POSIX interface is holding us back. In Linux, they've tried to implement union mounts a number of times (as UnionFS, aufs, and OverlayFS) because it's almost too complicated to get right for Unix-style filesystems and you need a bunch of kernel-level code. Do you happen to know if it was possible to create the ASSIGNs programmatically? Does deleting/renaming files in the ASSIGN work like you'd hope?
Yikes, angry much?
> I started working on DwarFS in 2013 and my main use case and major motivation was that I had several hundred different versions of Perl that were taking up something around 30 gigabytes of disk space, and I was unwilling to spend more than 10% of my hard drive keeping them around for when I happened to need them.

It fills me with joy that someone has been coding a fs for 7 years due to perl installs taking too much space. Necessity is the mother of all invention.
no whiteboard tho :(
Maybe it's because it's advocating for security by obscurity? It would probably be more resource-intensive for the server if a bot were to scrape every single page to collect UUIDs instead of methodically going through them.
Oh it doesn't work like that. I direct you to the time he got sued for 1 billion dollars. These are "crackpots" that love to threaten our services. He gets crazy as shit takedown notices about once a week. that he promptly ignores
If other people find a different truth, one of us is wrong. If it's the majority with a different truth I'm honest enough with myself most of the time to realize it's probably me who's wrong. But sometimes I will stand my ground anyway, not usually out of stubbornness, but because I'm confident that my analysisis correct. I don't think my odds are actually great in these cases, but just occasionally I might have found the truth before the rest of the world, and that can be valuable.

That's very useful. This should be routinely taught in college, if not in high school.
I don’t recall an option on YouTube to delist a video from search but still have it be accessible from a channel. It’s either publicly searchable (public) or it’s only viewable with a link (unlisted) or completely private (private). The ones viewable with a link will not appear anywhere but this video does appear on the channel. So clearly there is a fourth option youtube has behind the scenes.
Built a e-commerce platform company in 2002. Packaged software sales model with designers and web hosting companies as the sales channel. Reasonably successful for more than 10 years but I call it a "vampire start up." I had enough income to eat and hire a few people but never hit the right growth numbers. Also, small business is just as demanding as Enterprise customers for features and support but doesn't have the budget to pay for it.

I tried a pivot to a SaaS model but missed my window of opportunity as Shopify and a few others started out as SaaS only and had more traction. Also, Magento commerce popped out of nowhere as a really good free, open source cart that made it difficult to continue to sell higher priced stand alone licenses.

Two actual points of failure: 1) had to start letting employees go because not enough income and 2) had to fire myself because not enough income.

In the end, I was able to license the technology to a few companies in a royalty deal and sell some other parts. Not a complete failure and I learned tons from the experience.

Business lessons learned:

* My sales/revenue strategy was weak, i was depending on my channel to sell but they were only getting me a one time license purchase while they got the recurring hosting revenue.
* Selling to small and medium sized businesses is almost as much work as selling into Enterprises and the pay off is much smaller. I'd recommend targeting enterprises or consumes rather than mid-market. Consumer has scale, Enterprises have cash.
* The better mousetrap doesn't always win. I had much better quality software than some competitors but they had momentum and staff that was already familiar with their product. If you're going to be the "better" option, be 10x better.
* Timing is critical. Some opportunities are about being in the right place at the right time. A few years too early or too late can sink an idea. Be prepared to scale as fast as possible when you see things working.

You probably meant "trans boys" -- but no matter.

Once again, an immoral and irrational movement promoting perversion is permitted by society to wield a heavy hammer.

Muslims in the West are constantly told that they need to publicly repudiate terrorism. (Good idea -- though they pretty much do that anyway.) People on the left need to stand up to the bullying of the trans movement. No one will listen to conservatives.

And please don't flag this article or my post -- that is part of the whole divisiveness problem in the West.
Windows is the better Linux and the better Android ... Wonder where I heard that before!
Arexx ports for scripting IPC / automation, the standardized installer (especially the "Pretend to install"), and datatypes (which sort of exist in Windows at MacOS, but aren't exactly the same thing either) are the three features I'd love to see in current OS's.

All three would need buy-in from application developers, and since using them would tightly-couple applications to the host platform I can't imagine that any developers would take advantage of them anyway.

We've ended up in this world where a vaguely POSIX-flavored feature set is about the best we can hope for if a developer doesn't want to go "all-in" on a given platform.
One unique feature of the Amiga that I've not seen referenced here is that programs, scripts etc. could reference removable media by label and if the media was not in the drive when needed, a Kickstart-managed requester would pop up asking for it to be inserted promptly. This made it very easy to manage even a single-floppy-drive system. Linux could support this even now, as all the required pieces are there (e.g. automount support) and it would be quite useful for a number of things; however it doesn't, AFAICT.
