I know your question is rhetorical, but worth addressing because it's relevant.

> Why is x86 the primary server platform?

Cheap PC prices plus Linux meant you could deploy Linux for a fraction of what deploying any other Unix (save the *BSD family which shares similar advantages).

Cheap ARM CPUs and reasonably priced, performant ARM development machines pretty much harpoons that big advantage x86 had.

> The issue is that there are always differences that are hard to compare when switching platforms if the one you are developing on isn't the same as the one you are targeting.

Yes and no. We've been developing on MacOS and deploying to Linux for some time. The issues we end up fighting are minimal and we're going from one OS to another. I suspect most of the ARM-x86 issues that haven't already cropped up and been dealt with will be soon.
Could you elaborate on this? Are you saying that being unconcerned about how one appears to others is a sociopathic trait? Which aspect of the GP would make someone a "loser"?
If only we had some form of organization which represented the interest of the People, with the authority to decree and enforce statute.
That's the value pitch for RHEL, where it's understandable — whether or not you like the enterprise IT model of avoiding upgrades as long as possible, there's a ton of money in it.

I think the gap is the question of how many people there are who want enterprise-style lifetimes but don't actually want support. If you're running servers which don't need a paid support contract, upgrading Debian every 5 years is hardly a significant burden (and balanced by not having to routinely backport packages). There's some benefit to, say, being able to develop skills an employer is looking for but that's not a huge pool of users.

I think this is the reason behind the present situation: CentOS' main appeal was to people who don't want to pay for RHEL, and not enough of those people contribute to support a community. That lead to the sale to Red Hat in the first place and it's unclear to me that anyone else could be more successful with the same pitch.
That’s not how it works. Miners follow the chain with the most users and highest economic share. Check this article if you want a more accurate depiction of how it went: https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/bitcoin-independence-da...
I also haven't fully groked this to be fair, but my understanding is:

(1) Alice and Bob both connect to coordination server

(2) Alice sets Bob's endpoint to bob_ip:bob_port

(3) Bob sets Alice's endpoint to alice_ip:alice_port

(4) Both try to ping each other, which makes both of them originate outbound packets from the wireguard socket.

IF Alice and Bob have the same public IP:port pair in their NAT with each other as they do with the coordination server (which turns out to be true in tests on my EdgeRouter X NAT, but certainly isn't true 100% of the time), then I believe this process will result in a working connection.

If you're asking how Bob & Alice know that the information in the coordination server has changed and that they need to reconfig their endpoints, then I'm not sure. Perhaps they could just re-query the coordination server on a timeout or whenever their connection went down.

I agree - using DNS as a transport seems orthogonal to the NAT punching process, and maybe too clever. If you're going to need to write custom endpoint code either way, I don't see a huge advantage. If wireguard supported DNS-based endpoint information by default (automatically re-resolving IP and detecting port from SRV), then it'd make a lot more sense.
Also, as people wait longer to have kids, the mother's body is less and less able to bounce back from pregnancy. I know tons of couples who have 2 kids in their 30s, but 2 only so that the first kid can have a sibling. CDC recommends 3 years between births for a woman's body to recover, and I don't know many women eager to continue having kids past 35.
I think Ubuntu has a decent business plan, charging people $225/yr to extend support from 5 to 10 years. I would happily pay that in order to avoid having to migrate as often.

CentOS just gave everything away for free and then is wondering why they're not making any money.
I reject that that's not what it's meant for. It's meant to be stable and proven. The fact that makes it great for a server is irrelevant.
No I don't think this is related in any way.
This election and the insanity of betting markets
Demographics can explain a lot of ills in a society. A nice pyramid is pretty good and stable. When things get too top heavy (low birth rate compared to previous generations) or too bottom heavy (high birth rate compared to previous generations), serious but predictable problems almost always occur.
I joked a few times about families in the 70s and early 80s often having a 3rd child as a reserve here in Europe, since we grew up without child seats, airbags and such things and the birth rate dropped by approximately 1 child per mother since these safety measures were introduced. Seems like there was some truth in that...

This seems pretty similar to the Chess.com "puzzle rush" game, although I'll admit that I haven't actually tried that yet.

Immediate hypersensitivity to polyethylene glycols in unrelated products[2019]

The way to accommodate a new key size or algorithm is to say “v2 of the protocol will use $key_size and $cipher, and will not use $old_key_size or $old_cipher. Upgrade to this version due to $reason_old_setup_is_obsolete”. A casual observation of history will find that attempting to build negotiation of security features into a protocol is akin to opting in to a fun, optional class of major security vulnerability. For reference: SSL/TLS, GPG.
Businesses that sold software as opposed to subscriptions also had ongoing expenses. Employees, office space, etc. That seems like a cop-out.
Why it failed is because they sold out.

I really think everyone should just say “fuck this”, abandon it and throw the time at LTS Debian. Red hat control way too much of the ecosystem at the same time so there needs to be a strong, stable, non-commercial alternative.

Efficient use of qemu on x86 requires the Hypervisor framework, which isn't available under Rosetta.

It's possible to run qemu without Hypervisor.framework, but that means it's doing its own second layer of translation. This would be horribly inefficient under Rosetta.

Yes, because of Cryptokey routing[1]. Wireguard works at the IP level and determines which keys to use for encryption and authentication based on the destination IP. That said, if you only need peer-to-peer, you could pick any two RFC-1918 addresses like 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2.

Well by no means I meant to shit on what you do, it is of course going to be a well engineered and nice product. I understand it's tough in most roles to do anything about like, sterility - it's above everyone's pay grade at giant companies. So please take it with a bit of exaggeration, it's certainly frustrating as an outsider to see that kind of money lit on fire and talented people getting burnt out. A more experienced and culturally thoughtful decision maker would do things differently.
The conclusions here are fairly robust because there's a few natural experiments due to different states enacting stricter child safety laws at different times.

A currency that is used for real, genuine transactions and also happens to burn energy to keep the world economy honest? Can argue that's worthwhile.

A pyramid scheme that has electricity consumption of bitcoin? Strictly a net loss for the world.
I'll throw one out there: the birth rate has been falling everywhere across the globe at the same time, even in countries that don't have the same laws about child safety restraints. So the hypothesis is bogus, or it's a tiny fraction of what holistic analysis would suggest are the causes.

I think this is precisely it. We all (many?) of us expect ourselves to have an extraordinary life and then we inevitably end up with something more ordinary than expected.

I do wonder though if there is an additional component for folks in tech careers. If you stay heavily invested in the technology aspect of it, you might start wondering how much longer you can keep up with you folks in learning about the latest technology. If you move to the management track, you might feel less secure about your job and your ability to get a new position, especially as your former strong suit, the tech knowledge, atrophies. I moved to the manager track and sometimes interview folks for manager positions who are 10-15 years older than me and have been struggling to find a job for a very long time. Their tech skills are entirely outdated and I ask myself if that's me in 10 years.
Mickey Mouse is massive. Mickey has been the face of Disney and is sold on and in many products each year. Kids know who he is and adults know who he is. He does seem antiquated now, especially to older adults but I don't see them getting rid of him anytime soon.

Disney doesn't have many characters with that much lasting appeal between age demographics, it links the older generation of Disney with the new.

The RPM SPEC file in that repo will have a pointer to the actual upstream sources for the package. This is a typical scenario -- they are not re-hosting all of the sources to build a Linux distro, just the build steps needed to pull, patch, and build upstream sources.

I like Beatsaber a lot, it is less of a grind than FitXR, but I still come back to FitXR since I can get a better workout there (Beatsaber is a good warmup).
Qemu is only able to achieve native performance when running in conjunction with a hypervisor like KVM. Hypervisors don't do binary translation, so the guest architecture needs to match the host architecture. Running x86_64 qemu under rosetta would likely be much slower than running aarch64 qemu, because it would be running an emulator inside of an emulator.
This idea is one github repo away from being viral.

The corona commission has not yet made any conclusions regarding whether lockdown or not lockdown was the right decision, that will (maybe) come later.

Why do you think the other Nordic countries are the most comparable? Languages are pretty similar, including some cultural similarities. But I would not be confident in saying that those factors are the most relevant to the spread of viruses.

I just feel like you are making your job far too easy by just comparing 4 countries with each other, and claiming that they are all identical except for the different strategy. Especially since differences can have a very non-linear effects.

Monopolistic price setting is also reflected in the way bids are working, as Google is also setting the minimum threshold to enter the auction.

Another harmful market practice is squeezing extra advertising dollars from businesses, by taking away the knowledge where the money goes and control over how it's distributed (Google Play campaigns). By doing this Google managed to allocate the stream of money across their other services (e.g. YouTube), even if advertisers don't want to do that. Since it's automated, they have no choice.

Ever since installing Arch + i3 on my old Macbook Pro years ago, traditional window managers feel so inferior now. I've been on the hunt, since, to find anything as close to i3 for MacOS as possible.

I did come close however...there's a hidden gem called Yabai[0] (formerly chunkwm) by koekeishiya on GitHub. For anyone looking for as close to i3 functionality as possible in MacOS, Yabai is definitely it. I'm really surprised I don't see more people recommend it as the developer has done an excellent job trying to bring the i3 experience to Mac.

That's the rub here. Mozilla's mission is a much larger scope than just Firefox. Some people want to support Firefox, but don't want to donate to Mozilla's mission. One such reason is because it's important to have more than one browser implementation. There's no way to support that without Mozilla allocating some portion of your donation to some unrelated part of their mission.

I’m not sure it’s worse than PDF, though. PDF started life as a text-based postscript replacement that made it possible to index into postscript files, allowing one, for example, to render page 214 of a file without rendering the previous 213.

When files grew too large, they added compression. Initially, that was base-85 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ascii85), keeping the file text-based, but other compressors were added so that, now, the file is binary. They kept the index and all metadata in uncompressed ascii, though.

Then, they layered zillions of different features (3D graphics, forms, JavaScript, font embedding, etc) on top of it.

Interesting that this accusation isn't in Facebook's antitrust complaint.

Most of the accusations leveled against the FAANGs come down to somewhat of a matter of opinion if they harm consumers. The two dominant players in a market colluding to drive up prices isn't. It's clearly anti-competitive and I doubt there's many that would disagree.

Okay so if each GTK version exposes a fundamentally different toolkit framework (similar to the differences between win32/mfc/winforms/uwp) why do they expect application developers to “upgrade”?

Peloton has 0% financing and now you can own the old version of the bike (which is more than adequate) for only $49 a month, which is similar to the price of a decent gym. Most software devs make more than that per hour.
