I would be too, but I know the people.
I'm sure other commenters will put it much better than I could, but for those people that use CentOS for the purpose of a stable long term release, surely it is dead. The distribution now being called "CentOS" is almost at the opposite ends of the scale in terms of stability. The fact they've called this other thing the same name is purely marketing.

If you destroy something then create something entirely different with the same name then the fact remains that you still destroyed the original thing. That's not dramatising or hyperbole.

You can do that? If I get my wrist anywhere near high enough to hit a key, my fingers are about two imaginary rows above the function keys.
Market share has a factor, but its not always the commanding factor.

Take a look at https://zerodium.com/program.html

Apache and Nginx have a very similar market share. Nginx has higher share in top 10k websites, Apache has slightly higher share overall.

Yet Apache has over double the price as nginx exploits:

* Apache RCE 500k

* Nginx RCE 200k

Counterpoint: preferences are subjective. How about an article about how github uses the wrong colors in their syntax highlighting? According to color theory, a method is blue, not purple.
This was on Mac OS X when it was still stylized that way.

Chrome itself would run on system startup.

I no longer use that system, and don't remember the details well enough.
It is a 9.7" screen with 1200x825 pixels, which make it 150 ppi. It has WiFi built-in to load pictures from remote sources and also features a small local storage for up to 100 pictures. The battery should last for around 7000 changes of the picture. The frequency of picture changes can be adjusted and also defines how many years it will take for the battery to run out.

Pictures are dithered and contrast/brightness can be adjusted during upload, which can be done via the device's WiFi hotspot. Or you can configure it to connect to your local WiFi for easier access.
This doesn't make sense to me. They're assuming that brightness is a continuous function that you can keep dividing in half over and over and result in a real number, but brightness is not continuous, at a certain point you only have one photon left. It stops being a question of how many photons per second and becomes a question of how many seconds between a photon.
I really dont get the point of this app. If you are running microg instead of play services on your phone anyways also the corona warn app does use the micro g implementation of the exposure api, or am I missing something here?

If that is correct why is there a need to fork the app.

I absolutely agree that SAP and co who developed CWA should have coded their own open implementation of the exposure api... That would have maybe made the 20 million euros they received understandable.

its always beneficial to learn technology at a lower level. if you are running Windows, its good to learn Powershell. if you have a refrigerator, it is good to know how to change your water filter, clean your fan etc. the purpose of the article is simply stating that familiarizing yourself with posix shells is beneficial to a modern day programmer and I don't think anyone can argue with that.
Is the argument that this is a simple procedure which yields recognizable English text? In other words, how does one confirm that this was indeed the encryption procedure originally used?

I ask because there are similar procedures one can apply to other documents, but they have been dismissed as coincidental. Bible codes are the example which immediately come to mind.

> And there's always going to be people who push the boundaries and hunt for loopholes. It's in the nature of rating/censorship regimes.

That's not true. This is something censors say, because they don't want objectively specific criteria for censoring things, they want the power to arbitrarily apply censorship to anything they feel like and that is in the nature of censorship, all that "power always pursues more power" thing we know from political science. Which also implies if you make the criteria very specific, the power to censor things will be very limited and nothing to test the boundaries of or to hunt for loopholes.

> Starting a successful startup makes you rich and famous. So a lot of the people trying to start them are doing it for those reasons. Instead of what? Instead of interest in the problem for its own sake. That is the root of earnestness. [2]

What a load of pretentious twaddle this is. People have gotten rich on completely idiotic ideas, whereas people pursuing interesting ideas for their own sake have lived poor lives.

A lot of the people forming startups to get rich are actually pretty smart and have plenty of ideas they could chase for their own sake, while becoming poor in the process.

"I wanna get rich" is honest, which is close cousin of earnest.

To get rich, it does have to have an interest in a particular problem domain for its own sake: the domain of how to get people to part with their money, in your favor. That's it. If you make that domain your passion, you will likely end up well-off. If any other domain is your passion, then you should probably pair up with someone whose passion is that one.
I default to wget because as a sysadmin I usually want to download a file, and that is the default behaviour. Perhaps devs default to curl because they want to pipe things.

Systemd in general makes me sad. It feels like the complete rewrite that happens only for the people doing to finally learn all the project needs at the end, and immediately need another rewrite, but nobody has the stomach for it now.

Don't get me wrong, I think the authors are and we're probably the best authorities on what is and was needed in an init system, but the problem space was so poorly documented and understood because of all the crazy custom she'll init scripts people were using that they just kept having to tack on weird directives in piecemeal ways, until were left with what we have now.

What the world needs is for the systemd authors to take all that knowledge an apply it to a new init system in a sane way, but nobody had the will to go through that again, most likely especially them.

I completely agree, this knowledge can be very powerful. I also want to play Celeste[0] because it looks beautiful.

But i have to say lately i dislike posts written in this command tone. Like "Do this to become X"/"Use this technology for Y"/"Don't do Z". Most of the time i end up feeling bad for not knowing something and therefore not being 10x programmer or even feeling antipathy towards the topic or author as i have different views. But in reality these things often don't matter or rather it can vary a lot person by person and context by context. You just don't need to be a shell literate to be a successful programmer. I wonder if more subtle introductions aren't better. Some which would spark interest but wouldn't leave a person with a bad feeling if he can't get into it right away.

Inbound is free on AWS, outbound starts at $90/TB and goes down to $50/TB eventually.

Compare this to Hetzner where it costs EUR 1/TB and many server types include unlimited traffic at 1 Gbit/s.

I think the $0.01/GB you cited is region internal traffic which was sent through public IPs instead of private IPs.

I “earnestly engaged” with it by doing a humanities degree 20 years ago when this stuff was taking root.

The only field that seems resistant to being overwhelmed by it is history, possibly because the scholarship must be grounded in original sources.
We've often gone down the route of 'modify an open source project' for this reason. For the price of a developer, we get the product in perpetuity and don't have these exact limitations you specified of headcount or worrying about usage. For almost everything out there, you can find a version of it that's been made available with source code. Granted, unless you are essentially a software company this is probably difficult to maintain, given the additional level of expertise required.

Another option we've found works is buy, to just get started, and invest moving forward in our own project. Getting something off the ground quickly tends to help us understand better the requirements.

I've really started to think that inheritance is one of the biggest problem we have. Each one has the right to their own worth and riches acquired through their own effort, but if you pass those on afterwards then you create a dynasty that defeats the point of meritocracy and equality of opportunity. The incentives then become tribal, to your family, to your friends, and not simply a realization of your earnest passion.

If I have to investigate and validate or debunk every claim by myself, I'd never have time for anything else. I do a great deal of this already but it's sort of naive and egotistical to think one's capacities in this area are unlimited.

And to the extent that people do, it subjects them to manipulation - a strategy crudely referred to as 'flooding the zone with shit' in order to waste the time of the most discriminating and thoughtful on studying bullshit claims which take far less time to produce than to evaluate.

Very interesting perspective. Ran into the same issues where Salesforce was charging us by the number of columns we had that ended up forcing the team to overload a column with a JSON object so we could get it to work without overpaying. Integration and maintenance turned out it be a downright nightmare. Would be interested to hear various pricing models to understand the pros/cons for each especially in the logging/analytics space. Does per storage, per event, per user make sense in certain cases?

I can assure you that it wasn't related just to rebooting as this has been something that's been bugging me for months. I had previously rebooted earlier in the day because of this exact same issue (a runaway WindowServer process), before I saw this article. I also did a fresh reboot before following these instructions too as a sort of "control".

The change only happened for me after removing Chrome as well as the launch agent for keystone.
The point is that any decrease is offset by the increase in the number of stars. Also your distinction between >1 photon per second and <1 photon per second is meaningless.

It seems to me the subtle miscommunication between billionaires and the rest of us is the rest of us are asking “what ever will you do with a dynasty” and many billionaires, I think, have a mental model of “I have proven I can employ this wealth more effectively than bureaucrats, and I like to solve big problems, and wealth makes it easier to solve big problems.”

This is a huge generalization we could easily find counter-examples and counter-arguments for, but we could also probably find fair arguments FOR this view, like Bill Gates.

Anyway, I think it’s probably a fair summary of how someone like PG could simultaneously hold the two ideas “don’t start a startup for money” and “higher taxes are a bad idea” at the same time. Which is not to say that he’s right, but I don’t think he’s incongruent.

You didn't want this result?

You should have thought about that when you supported weakening election security. Republicans aren't buying your excuses about the virus, or about black people being unable to get an ID card, or about anything else. You broke security on purpose. Any lack of evidence is because you purposely make it impossible to collect the evidence. (like a cop turning off his camera before doing evil) The result has been expected for months: a fraudulent Biden victory.

Next time, maybe cooperate on election security? Is that too much to ask?

Ink the fingers, since we're 3rd-world now. Have ID, just like India and Mexico do. All votes must be cast in person. Take extra pictures when voting (face, fingerprints, iris, retina), to better enable prosecution of misbehavior. No machine goes on a network. Every machine is observed by multiple unrelated people (don't know each other) for the entire time, starting from verification that it is empty and continuing until all recounts are completed. No excuses.

You asked for the current situation when you dismantled what little security we had. Expecting opponents to trust the result is absurd. You broke security because you knew that fraud in your favor would happen if people didn't have to worry about getting caught.

The biggest problem I have is fitting a battery into the frame -- I was trying to find a low profile USB battery pack that could output 5V for RPi Zero. Maybe I should wire up some battery cells directly to evenly distribute the weight?
