> Linux is not meant to live in that environment,

Linux is like the cockroach of the OS world, it can do just fine in any environment. After the apocalypse, I'm pretty sure the OS the cockroaches are going to use.

If it hadn't been for reverse engineered proprietary drivers, Linux would have never gotten to the point it is now.
It's certainly possible, but I don't think it's supported. I'm not just talking about hardware issues, but like general support. As far as I know, if you have a mac under warranty/applecare you can book an appointment with a 'genius' to help you with any sort issue, hardware, software, or even just general instruction on how to do stuff.

I would guess that if you showed up with a mac under warranty but with a custom OS installed, they would boot macos in some fashion and run whatever their diagnostic tool is, and if the hardware checks out they'll tell you to buzz off.

I guess my point overall is that Apple seems to be pretty intent on curating and supporting a specific user experience with their products (which is a big part of their pre-occupation with controlling everything top to bottom in the first place), and supporting 3rd party OS's seemed at odds with that.
> How can you choose to be without a real home that long?

Depends what you mean by "real home" I guess. I have a tiny apartment in Bangkok, where we would normally spend ~ 8 weeks a year in total a year, and then we rent ad-hoc or stay with family the rest
Seriously - even when they were current it was common for PS1s to have dying CD drives. I and many others needed to turn their systems on their side to keep it reading discs properly.
One thing that's stumped me on the Apple M1 chip design is how they are getting consistent timing on their different kinds of cores, with the layout being so asymmetric. Like the 8 core GPU, the Icestorm cores, the neural engine cores.

Or is the fact that the physical distance is so close with the newer process that a small timing delay doesn't matter any more.

If the firestorm cores are laid out correctly, those make sense to be symmetrical.

AsciiDoc(tor) is worth a look, it's better specified than Markdown (and has much features), but doesn't look as ugly as restructuredText.

It's quite niche, though.

And if you don't want the Ruby dependency, AsciiDoctorJ is very usable.
thanks for sharing again. Living minimalistically and not marrying all the comforts of life is the key I guess. Makes sense although you will have to return to paying rent and a fixed place you call your own when you have kids. Goodluck.
Deflation causes the economy to seize up as borrower’s debts grow in real terms even as they pay off the nominal balance and consumers put off consumption in the expectation things will be cheaper later. Demand collapses and the economy goes into a recession. It’s bad monetary policy. If you have deflation you should print more money until you don’t.

https://www.thebalance.com/what-is-deflation-definition-caus...

> Deflation occurs when asset and consumer prices fall over time. While this may seem like a great thing for shoppers, the actual cause of widespread deflation is a long-term drop in demand.

> Deflation often signals an impending recession. With a recession comes declining wages, job losses, and big hits to most investment portfolios. As a recession worsens, so does deflation. Businesses hawk ever-lower prices in desperate attempts to get consumers to buy their products and services.

Looking great so far. When MySpace was at its peak, I used to run one of those "style your profile" type websites that let you generate custom CSS and all those fun things. I should try and dig it out and see if it works on SpaceHey!

Just a small CSS tip for your header and footer menus -- instead of using ::before/::after pseudo elements in your anchors themselves, if you place the menu items in a list you can use them there so the vertical pipe isn't part of the links. For example the following HTML:

<ul class="menu">
<li><a href="#">Link 1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Link 2</a></li>
</ul>

With the following CSS:

.menu {
list-style: none;
padding: 0;
text-align: center;
}
.menu li {
display: inline;
}
.menu li:not(:last-child)::after {
color: #000;
content: ' | ';
}

Let's you add anything to the menus (anchor tag or plain text) and they will be separated by the vertical pipe without being part of the links themselves.
This is a sophisticated rant
Not necessarily. You could use homomorphic encryption and, for example, encode the file with a hash of the file as the key material for encryption. All such files will encode identically for each user, but it will be opaque to the server what the contents are unless the server already has the plain-text of the original file. This was used by other cloud storage companies (that are now defunct).
I started reading this expecting a different kind of article that I would comment to refute, but this captures a lot of my feelings at a similar age with similar experience. I'd summarize it as saying I simply have less bullshit tolerance as I get older.

>You wrote a notebook, not a book.

Many authors are using notebooks as a way to edit and publish books. The tooling is getting better.

>Also your example pages have oversized images

Yes, humans sometimes make mistakes when they create things.

>and still you only have 130 pages of content, yet you are charging an extreme amount for it.

I believe the author is free to have as many or few pages as they want, and charge as much or less as they want. You are obviously free to choose.
I'd suspect, though, that most Linux people who considered running it on Apple hardware just shrugged and picked very similar PC hardware instead.

Apple's m1 computers have no PC analogue and may not for some time. I've not used one but it appears they really are different, and better, than anything else in their class.

Sales tax in CA is not 20%. Also, CA does not currently tax sales of digital goods (though most other states do).

If you meant Canada, then Canada's HST is similarly less than 20%, though the exact rate depends on province.

I too have a shitty static site generator.

My issue was mostly long term backup. When you think about keeping your writing around decades--ie, longer than you might keep a site--there's no solution I loved.

I also love Scrivener for actually writing. So I built a SSG that takes exports from Scrivener and turns that into webpages.

I get to use my writing tool of choice + I have full backups and the ability to recreate the site on demand.

Also, Scrivener has metadata as part of the UI, so no awkward front matter. Just some custom fields (as the software already expects).

Exclusive with AWS chief Andy Jassy: The wakeup call for cloud adoption

How do you keep your sleep rhythms while you're working?
Not an expert, but I think the whole idea of vector clocks is to provide a logical clock which defines a partial rather than total order between the events, and where two events are related only if they must be due to e.g. data dependencies. This abstracts away the complexities of keeping clocks in sync or even dealing with relativistic issues, at the expense of being able to order fewer events.
Which abilities were those, and how do you know whether their abilities were caused by or in spite of their hydration habits?
It's because people in Tokyo often participate in work or work related activities in their free time.

Even peoples managers or the companies president will come speak at an employees wedding.

It's a totally different culture.

Looks like that’d be the GTX 1650 Ti? That’s of the NV160 family, and per https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/FeatureMatrix.html (assuming it’s up to date), that lacks all 2D and video acceleration, and power management. That sounds rather like a mediocre toy for a large fraction of users. And Wayland needs Nouveau, because the NVIDIA proprietary driver is a hostile environment that does everything its own way rather than the way everyone else does things.

> can no longer work at a stable company

Been wondering lately, why is a position in a stable company also generally considered stable?

I mean, it’s a scalable system designed to survive, running on cash flow. Say load reduces, or flow reduces, wouldn’t it be only sane to immediately cut down on worker nodes? Why keep, except as strategic reserves?

I suppose because strategic planning up top used to be harder in the past so reserves tended to be large?

It is well know that Elon's father is a successful owner of an engineering company in South Africa. If something was missing in his youth it was not money. Of course, his father being rich didn't immediately translate into personal wealth for him, that's why these people like to claim that they are "self made".

I built a shitty SSG in QuickBasic in 1996 to run what is now http://onlineslangdictionary.com/ . Pre-XML! It used a “bespoke” (read: shitty) markup language.

Definitely a fun exercise. I bet I still have the code around somewhere.

(The QB version was succeeded by a series of shitty SSGs: one written in Visual Basic, one written in Java, and one written in C#, before the current iteration which is backed by a dynamic website.)
Great game. Haven't played in a very long time and enjoyed this. This applies to most Mahjong Solitaire implementations but my only feedback is how I always imagine if I had to physically shuffle and tile the board up to play and how there's no way all tiles would have the same orientation. Meaning, yes left&right would be the long sides but a seven dot might be 3 over 4 or 4 over 3. Having the same orientation makes the game much easier.

In the US, if you live on the coasts, most southern accents you’ll hear tend to be comedic relief, uneducated, unsophisticated portrayals in tv/movies. It is unconsciously drilled into the culture that a southern accent is a sign of poor education. It’s hard to fight all that unconscious reinforcement as much as people may intellectually agree that accentism is bad.

I don’t want to get political but it doesn’t help that it’s mostly southern states trying to eliminate evolution curriculums and other anti-science stances...

Put another way, if every driver threw an empty two liter bottle on the side of the road every two weeks, you'd have an equivalent amount of plastic being shed into the environment.

Andy is a long time observer of India but this is a blinkered take. FDI (foreign direct investment) in India has doubled to $28B+ from $14B last year for the same 6-month period, in the midst of a pandemic. May I humbly suggest that foreign investors pumping cash into India by choice have more skin the game than economic journalists writing op-eds in newspapers no matter how erudite they are. A good chunk of this cash, about 50%, is into Reliance's Jio platform but that cuts for and against.

China is 90%+ ethnic Han with one-language-multiple-dialects, one-party state with most population concentrated in a few provinces. Indian elections might have a hundred plus candidates running for one-seat for parliament. India is a multi-ethnic multi-religious democracy with hundreds of languages spread across diverse geographies. The entrenched nature of (in)decision making in a three-tiered democracy, a free press, coupled with woke activism and sclerotic judiciary makes progress slow especially compared to China.

In India building a single nuclear plant requires wading through two decades worth of protests by foreign non-profits [1] and final adjudication by the Supreme court that construction could proceed. Foreign funded non-profits (NGO in India speak) were criticized by the former prime minister, Manmohan Singh, for intervening in matters of India's development. Recently, a metro line's storage shed in Mumbai, India's commercial capital, was relocated after a multi year battle to save <400 trees requiring the whole project to be delayed for multiple years inconveniencing 100s of thousands who would use that line.

You can have the biggest bullet train network created from scratch in a decade in China but then you get the Four Pests campaign [2] which led to eating and trading in wildlife which in turn sparked Covid 70 years later, the resulting famine, the horrors of the Cultural revolution, the great leap forward, the one-child policy, Vietnam invasion, Tiananmen, Xinjiang internment camps, One-belt-one-road, and finally President for life.

All this not-withstanding, the pace of decision making has picked up and on-the ground observers in India are far more optimistic than a journalists writing in from Hong Kong nestled in the echo-chamber that is elite journalism.
