Also the Fed set interest rates so low that you'll loose money having it in saving, causing everyone to invest their money, mostly the in the market.

Some investors are so desperate for something to buy, they're making up new fake companies called "blank check IPOs". Fake companies that promise to make money some day. It's insane.

Ah, I've submitted this as soon as I saw the notification of the new release on Github, maybe the blog post was indeed more relevant.

Congratulations on this milestone release, we're using Nomad since March this year on a single 'bare-metal' server and it serves our needs perfectly. We set it up with a simple gorilla/mux API in front and use the Nomad API to submit jobs from all our other applications and it works flawlessly.

With regards to 1.0's features:

HCL2 is a welcome addition for us since we had a lot of repetition in our job files using artifacts for tasks.

Also the addition of the PostStop lifecycle couldn't come at a better time, we were discussing workarounds for this recently.

One area of potential improvement would be the behaviour of file/directory permissions through different task drivers, I know this is totally dependent of the different drivers we can use with Nomad but more than once we bumped into this while setting up our jobs (and others too [1][2])

That's always the catch-22 right? You want to have a big platform for small businesses and make good money doing it, but you don't it overrun with the people that kind of popularity attracts.

I think you're right though, stay small, maybe have two or three smaller platforms to generate the revenue you want, while still making it exclusive to small businesses. I think that approach might keep you under the radar for a longer stretch.
As a meta observation, its fascinating how few of these are computer related.

> For some reason you're completely ignoring the positive test results

For a good reason.

By almost all the statistics, the second wave hasn't been as bad as the first. Comparing peaks, measures like "Deaths within 28 days of positive test" (942 vs 486) and "Weekly deaths with COVID-19 on the death certificate" (9,495 vs 3,371) and "Patients in hospital" (19,518 vs 16,421) and "Patients in mechanical ventilation beds" (3,252 vs 1,461) say the second peak was about half the height of the first one.

On the other hand, "Cases by date reported" peaked at 5,113 in the first lockdown and 25,329 in the second lockdown - making the second wave 5x higher than the first. Presumably due to a lack of test capacity.

If I'd chosen the one metric which makes the second wave look 5x the first instead of 0.5x, that'd be a pretty deceptive way of describing the results of government policy (although technically accurate).

If it's verifiable by the compiler, then it shouldn't need to have a pragma, just optimise it automatically. (OK, it might be useful as a hint). I'm guessing there's grey areas where this would be some kind of halting problem type issue though - you won't know until you run it. Constructing a graph that you know to be a tree would be a trivial example.

Runtime checks would be possible but then you'd have to check every time you create an object.

The previous top-end for Apple's headphones was the ~$350 Beats Studio Wireless 3, which I've had a pair of the past three years. I often forget I'm wearing them when I've put them on just for noise canceling (without any music) until I bonk them with something, and their Bluetooth has been fine in use with a variety of Apple and non-Apple devices. Their biggest defect in my use has been that their folding mechanism leaves a slight indent on one point on the earcup foam. They're fine, but my desktop headphones have better quality (as they should, given the 5-10x increase in investment in them).

I expect that the $550 AirPods Max will be exceptional, and comparable in quality to my desktop headphones, which will be an achievement for anything portable and wireless. The flatpack case solves the non-portability of the Beats (which have a case the size of a watermelon), and they've removed the logo and reconstructed the earcups to not get tangled in long hair.

That's the kind of improvements I expected from Apple, and they appear to have delivered, at a price point that's about what I would expect for something that delivers impeccable audio (and sets them up for $150/$350/$550 market segments). The Studio beats are great, but these will be better. My biggest fear is that they'll be better than my desktop headphones. Works for me.
Yeah, very notably absent. Either they have a reason and aren't saying, or they just did what was recommended without hashing it out.

Sociopaths are great at empathy. Empathy is the ability to observe and understand others emotions without actually connecting. It’s absolutely essential to be a successful dark triad tape.

Sympathy is the “light” counterpart, where you actually emotionally resonate with the other person. Obviously this makes nasty behavior less attractive since you feel the emotional effects too.

And now you know why corporate psychobabble always goes on about user empathy.

POSIX doesn't say anything about ptrace.

Another concern for lean startups and hobby projects are that you cannot develop them without first paying for a Qt license. Their licensing clearly states that you cannot transition from the open source license to a commercial license.

I've spent some time working on a desktop application I hope to sell, but I wont consider Qt, because I'm not even sure I will follow through and finish the product. When it's just a hobby class side-hustle, my first step isn't giving Qt $200 this month, and $200 next month, while I work on my side project for 2 hours a week after the kids go to sleep.

By compose I quite literally mean the compose function.

const multiplyBy10 = val => val * 10;
const subtract5 = val => val - 5;

const ninetyEight = doABunchOfMath(10);

const optionallyNinetyEight = Some(10).map(doABunchOfMath)

That Dart already provides these extensions feels like they are providing an optional type but through a more complicated mechanism than a simple class

Nowhere in any of the functions I wrote above do I as a user have to worry about handling the case where no number exists, that's handled by the option type and signified by the type (The value in the option may or may not exist) and I can write my functions without ever having to worry about handling that case

They run both, or buy data from the company that runs the other half?

I'm not sure I see the point,tbh. If you want to control dns, why not resolve yourself, with whatever cache you need? And if you trust a company to do that for you - assuming the two companies do log "their half" - you're just a data breach, data broker agreement or an acquisition away from a commercial entity having all the data (again)?
Nomad has supported CSI for storage since 0.11. It is definitely a challenge since despite being an orchestrator agnostic standard, storage vendors often assume k8s and only support it.

That being said Nomad's CSI support doesn't impact clusters that don't optin to use it. Jobs that use host volumes or ephemeral volumes still work. Only using Nomad for stateless workloads still works. We try very hard to introduce new features in a way that only impacts people who use them.

While the principle is the same for CNI, our migration to group networks ("groups" in Nomad are like "pods" in k8s) and away from task networks has been more painful than we had hoped. Existing jobs should still work with task networks and we're rapidly trying to fix differences in the two approaches.

Nomad's Consul dependency does introduce complexity. The migration to group networks actually included a change that made service addressing available to servers in such a way that Nomad could offer native service discovery. It's still being discussed whether we want to pursue that since offering multiple solutions has obvious downsides as well.
Yea, I just tried it too. WOW that is hard on my eyes.

If only this was accessible. All a screen reader will announce is "image" plus the alt text, you cannot navigate any of the text inside the SVG when it's embedded with <img>. I was always surprised that noone ever talks about this with regard to SVG badges in readmes.
You can if it's embedded with <object> or <iframe> though, but GitHub doesn't allow that in markdown (just like they don't allow many useful things like <video>, forcing people to use GIFs instead). <iframe> actually being the more secure option here because you can disallow all scripts using <iframe sandbox> (and GitHub could easily enforce that). <iframes> still can't stretch to the content though without using JS even in 2020.
Aimbots are simple, you reskin the other players head, then detect where on the canvas that color is. As others have mentioned you could probably use external tools like a video camera aim system. You can't do much about aimbots. But you can make it so that the game takes more skill then "point and click". I used to play a lot of Unreal Tournament (the classic) in instagib mode which meant one shot instant kill, but even then I was able to win over players with auto aim. You just waited for them to shoot someone else, then you killed them while their weapon was cooling down. You couldn't shoot them in the back as they used 360 field of view, so you had to know the map well.
Players/athletes that cheat usually do it because they want a shortcut, and thus can not become very good. Or there is a financial incentive, where you cheat just a little bit in order to make a living doing what you love, and those cheats are the most problematic as they are hard to catch.

CentOS is not "ditching open source" in any respect whatsoever.
Fedora Silverblue can be an option then - the roots is an immutable snapshots tracked by OSTree It can build an updated OSTree snapshot in the background & only the difference from what you have are downloaded. Then you reboot into that new snapshot, while still having the old one (and ony other you care to keep) available, in case something is not right with the new one.

That should address most of the issues you mention. :)

What has any of that got to do with gaming in any practical sense? With the barest minimum of smooth scaling, fidelity wouldn’t be any worse on the monitor with higher pixel pitch.

Now you might have a point if talking about pixel art games, but none of those will tax the GPU to any extreme level—in which case you could render at a native 1600p or a perfect pixel doubled 800p.

The application authors are mostly unaware. The Manjaro ARM team is using libhandy to port desktop applications on a case-by-case.

They are also in charge of what applications are preinstalled; IMHO, they shouldn't be preinstalling any applications which do not _at least_ fit on the display in every popup and window they open.

You should report this to Etsy.

All Etsy listings have a flag for "I made this" vs "I designed this and someone else made it", and if the later, the seller is required to specify the production partner. This seller is almost certainly lying about who made it, and you can get them banned for this kind of activity.

My business is a dropshipper for artists that sell custom-print apparel on Etsy and Shopify. This sort of thing is allowed on Etsy, but we're careful to create the listings in a way that Etsy approves. Etsy sells a lot of tshirts.
Projects like this are getting me excited for a possible future where you can run the entire MCU in simulation. Instead of buying a given MCU for embedded and dealing with crappy weird peripheral issues, or undocumented behavior, you an choose a RISC V core and architectural implementation. Then download the core and simulate it in software with an open source qemu module with peripherals and all using an open source RTOS, perhaps with some commercial RISC-V add-ons for your project. The burn it to an fpga and test real world or if you need/want purchase an ASIC version made by a third pzrty. Of course we're probably far from that in practice but in theory it's achievable.
