I'm looking for options to handle device management for Linux devices. We have a large installation of Linux laptops in use by devs and with some upcoming regulatory requirements, need a method to remotely lock, copy and wipe devices. Something that works on a variety of distros would be preferred.
And for such a rare case we have to give up on using Gitea?

Why not just point out its problem and let the users decide?
It is demonstrably false that we are in a post class, post racial, and post gender/sex system. The populism we see in the west (more so on the right than left) is a rational reaction to a system that ignores anyone who is not a professional college educated elite.

I can second git hooks as a vastly underrated approach to automation. Lots of people who only use github don't know about them. Copy-pasta from an old comment of mine:

"So, git hooks are basically executable scripts (of whatever language you have available, I use bash) placed in the .git/hooks dir, whcih are then executed at whichever event is designated (by the name of the script itself) For me, it's post-recieve. After initial setup, a push automatically triggers the post-recieve hook that does something like the following from my git dir:

GIT_WORK_TREE=..../example.com git checkout -f

and voila, pushes are insta-live, but commits can be pulled and worked on in the meantime.

Learned from a few sources (shout out to Dreamhost for my original intro to this idea), but here are some relevant readings:

I know plenty of well-adjusted Tolkien fans.

What screams "run" to me is when someone hurls epithets like "neckbeard" based on liking some popular author, or enjoying word games like anagrams, or declaring that they adhere to a certain philosophy of life that values rationality (which, far from being just an excuse to declare oneself right all the time, demands that we declare openly when we believe we may be on thin ice, as Scott frequently does).

Being so eager to judge people on such superficial characteristics indicates narcissism, immaturity, and a lack of appreciation for human diversity.
It's not exactly the same, a soldier, under the fog of war, is scare of the consequences of acting. A guy in his living room using Zoom is less so.
Fundamentally the journalist has to make a call to dox or not.

People who took advantage of tax havens as described in the Panama Papers - good to dox.

People who obtained the Panama Papers - bad to dox.

People who fund special interest groups trying to support $GOOD_GOVERNMENT dissidents (e.g. jan6 activists) - good to dox.

People who fund special interest groups to support $BAD_GOVERNMENT dissidents - bad to dox.

There is a great deal of taste involved. Sometimes they will get it wrong. In the example we have in front of us, it worked itself out in the end. In the case of e.g. _why, it did not work and he supposedly quit the Ruby community.

If you are a dissident and want to remain anonymous I urge you to not rely on anyone to keep your information secret for you. Use signal, tor, etc.
The inability to decline linking would be truly draconian. Which part of the law states that? (edit:clarity)
Okay will include this.
My workplace is probably one of the larger ones in HN (tens of thousands of people in technology), and we do CD all the way to production. We’re also extremely regulated.

I agree that we’ve been lucky though, to have great tech leadership on this. And also a very supportive business.

The regulators have not had any problem with CD or high cadence at all — because we can also show that our systems actually got more stable as we adopted CD “in spirit” and increased release cadence. Also, because we no longer do manual promotions, we’ve improved our Cyber-sec position by a lot — just one of the many advantages of automation.
> Another issue as mentioned is that per-control CSS skinning breaks easily with custom themes. Instead of using system colors devs often hard-code a custom look.

Ironically, you used to be able to use system colors via CSS. Like it usually happens on the web, that feature was also removed because of security reasons - apparently it made it easier for scammers to render fake system popups.

Miranda IM, anyone?
Exactly. In Poland I did my training in diesel toyta yaris, but the testing centre only had petrol ones. Meaning I obviously stalled the car as soon as I started moving and got the first strike for stalling the car. I had to be super duper careful since I wasn't familiar with the clutch and general feel of a petrol car vs a diesel.

An interesting side-effect will be a potential market for crazy-cheap used ICE luxury cars. Once all of the high-earners demand EVs, the market will be flooded with lightly-used luxury ICE vehicles. A year-old Bentley for $30k? The day might come as long as you are willing to be one of the ICE dinosaurs!
> Everyone commits to the baseline every day

That's not a hard requirement, it's more like a principle.

In my experience, it's easier to review smaller things than gigantic PRs. I don't take this line item to mean literally committing every chronological day, but in the sense of not withdrawing from the world and building out entire systems in a cave, so to speak. It's a more granular version of "prefer agile over waterfall".

Another subtle aspect of the commit-often mantra - particularly when it comes to a workflow with tests running in CI - is that you are encouraged to build software in a bottom up fashion (simply because if you try to "tack on" an incomplete feature to an existing live system, it'll obviously not work).
My experience is, as I read the job ads, they want US based remoters for the easy accounting. So at the minimum, one would have to set up a US company. At the "easiest for the employer", one would have to bill/apply and work through a US resident.

If someone has other solutions for out-of-the-US, non-US-tax-reporters to applying to US remote jobs that list "US based" as a requirement I would love to hear about it.
>a depleted battery pack means less range or costly repair, etc.

This has actually stopped me from buying a used EV in the last year, twice. Dealers aren't up front about used cars history in general, and, again from just the two I looked at, they are 1000% hiding any information they can regarding the battery packs.

This is the largest hurdle to the used car market (after the shortage of used EV's because of their novelty). People hesitate to buy used combustion cars, because of unknown mechanical issues that may pop up; but this can be alleviated by using a trusted mechanic to once-over the car. They ABSOLUTELY hesitate to buy used EV's because of the battery packs, and who can you go to in order to evaluate that? Nobody.

>I'm just really curious to see if/when middle- and lower-class Americans start adopting these in large numbers.

When they have no choice. I'm in this boat - I work in education and my spouse works in education. We are solidly middle- to lower-middle class. We can't afford most new cars. Used cars are pricey anymore as well. The only way we will upgrade to an EV is if we can find a trustworthy used model, or when we have no choice, because gas is $10/gallon.
Used Nissan Leafs and Bolts are abundant at that price point. Assume it’ll be a while before Teslas reach that used price point, eventually they will though.
I just bought a PHEV from Volvo and I love it. It gives me the flexibility to roam around town on pure electric while also providing the range I need to go hiking in remote areas.

A lot of the Seattle area only has street parking on residential streets. I'm curious how these folks are ever going to go full EV.
Can confirm, they really took a legitimate scientific approach and years of research in order to arrive at their results. Excellent book.
From what I remember reading when Wehe came out, ISPs in Spain and Portugal (and Brazil?) were already providing data capped plans with options to uncap particular services for a small fee. So you'd get an (example) 100GB plan and pay $1-2/mo for each service you want excluded from the cap (Netflix, or whatever).

IANAL but I'm sure this was/is legal in those jurisdictions, which indicates a total disregard for net neutrality there.
Wireless is the key feature for me opens up so many more possibilities
Just had a quick look.

Did you compare theoretical (gasoline) vs measured (electric) values?

The cost difference is quite significant. What is the error here?

While I knew electric engines can be more efficient, I was surprised by these numbers.
I fun prank used to be setting someone's color scheme to black on black with black highlights. It didn't work as well on later versions of windows because the button highlights were always visible. In 3.1 you'd have to guess where the buttons even were.
Not to mention dropping features and taking what few powerful features remain, and burying them deep in a “hamburger” menu so the main screen can have more whitespace.
Of the ~20k used electric cars listed on cars.com, ~3k are $10k or less. Mostly Nissan Leafs and Chevy Sparks, so it depends on your definition of decent :).

I think we'll see the opposite -- ICE vehicles are going to go up in price as collectors items.
Saw one of these at the Chicago Botanical Gardens a few years ago. The corpse smell is not an understatement.
I think those average numbers get skewed by expensive SUVs and luxury cars. You don’t need to spend $30k to get something decent and new, I think my Mazda 3 was like $17k in 2016. I think we’ll need a combo of good used prices like you mention as well as new prices comparable to a Corolla to see mass adoption.
lol, this is an unhelpful reflex answer to any criticism of open source software. What I'm describing is a redesign. There's no point in submitting a patch for that. It'd be much more effort than a few lines of code, and it wouldn't be accepted. Open source means that anyone can fork. It doesn't mean that maintainers will automatically merge patches replacing their software with completely different software. The only way that will happen is if the maintainers decide for themselves it needs to be redesigned, and that starts with discussion rather than a patch. It's also a long shot compared to just finding different software that already has the design I prefer.

If I want replicated SQLite, I'll look at dqlite or litestream instead, which sound more compatible with my design sensibilities. (Thanks, tyingq and benbjohnson!)
If you have the luxury of affording spending time on multiple interviews, very sound point!
If you get defrauded, blackmailed, whathaveyou, into committing a crime, it's still on your head. Yes, the fraudster bears some responsibility, but it's not like the folks who stormed the capitol had guns to their heads. They knowingly, willfully, deliberately, with pre-planning, broke the damned law.

Ironic how the folks involved are all "law and order" when it comes to most matters of policing but now that they're facing charges of sedition it's all "wait is it actually a crime if I believe that my righteous cause justifies violence?"
> So long as screwing people too poor to justify a new or new-ish car is politically unacceptable there will be some resistance.

Sadly, that (admittedly sound and good) argument will run headlong into the resounding cry of 'for the environment'. Since both sides of that fight vote for the same party (in the US) the option that brings more revenue into the government coffers is likely to win. See every fuel tax increase in the last 40 years in blue states as examples.
Distribution restrictions on top of GPL and they don't own the copyright on all the code without a CLA which prevents licensing under something other than GPL for the App Store.
I've looked at this and thought it looked amazing, but also haven't used it for anything. Some thoughts...

Rust is a blessing and curse. I seems like the obvious choice for data pipelines, but everything big currently exists in Java and the small stuff is in Javascript, Python or R. Maybe this will slowly change, but it's a big ship to turn. I'm hopeful that tools like this and Balista [1] will eventually get things moving.

Since the Rust community is relatively small, language bindings would be very helpful. Being able to configure pipelines from Java or Typescript(!) would be great.

Or maybe it's just that this form of computation is too foreign. By the time you need it, the project is so large that it's too late to redesign it to use it. I'm also unclear on how it would handle changing requirements and recomputing new aggregations over old data. Better docs with more convincing examples would be helpful here. The GitHub page showing counting isn't very compelling.

They could also collaborate with Elastic as a customer. In fact, the model where a company develops a managed service and offers it on cloud providers infrastructure (i.e. "app store") would have everyone benefit:

* Amazon, from the wealth of innovative managed services they could offer without fully maintaining them themselves

* OSS companies, for the ability to financially sustain their projects and still offer it for free for those that want to self host without offering a managed version of the same software

* End users, who can both use the software however they wish and also choose to get a nice managed version of it.

Instead what will happen due to AWS behavior here is that there will be a lot less incentive to develop innovative new services, at least in a non-proprietary way => therefore there will be fewer services in general for AWS to offer without doing all the product work from scratch, fewer tools in general for engineers and fewer OSS tools in particular and more Firebase-like offerings. So everybody loses here in the long run.

I'm going to go on a limb and say that whichever of the cloud providers figures out the "app store" equivalent for managed services is going to be able to take over from AWS.
I like your Miata example, mostly because I think it may illustrate that the problem won't exist for EVs. Range is king in EVs, new or used. I can't think of any EV feature quite like a stick shift in an ICE car.

I actually am seeing lots of used EVs here in Portland. Mostly Nissan Leafs. They are dirt cheap to buy and nearly free to operate (especially given their terrible range). If you have a commute under 20 miles, you can't do better than an EV that's 5+ years old.
I plan to give my children names that don't stand out and don't have unique spelling. I want to give them the ability to blend-in, so to speak, when it comes to search results for their name. I'm afraid that unique / rare name makes them much more likely to get doxxed or stalked online.
For what its worth, another thing you might consider looking into is using RSnapshot [0]. RSnapshot helps me sleep at night. This will create multiple directories that are hard links to files that did not change, thus saving disk space and giving you multiple days or weeks of snapshots, in the even something was corrupted and you want to roll back at the filesystem level. Most questions one could come up about rsnapshot with are answered on Serverfault [1] There are many how-to sites [2] with usage examples. You can create snapshots locally or remote. On mac you can brew install rsnapshot.

Which would that be, if you have multiple offers, where they name the first number, and then you offer them the opportunity to bid higher against each other?
I hope gassers are kept for a few of their high performance RS models.

Their 5cyl motor is a beast, and the sound is an sensation no EV will ever top.
Well, interacting with local platform keyrings _would_ be an actual improvement over storing them as text files, because platform keyrings _can_ actually do something.
I would be very curious to see this same survey but with more shades of red. This is the color that is more often reported to be the one with the biggest difference between sexes.

Another factor that I wish was covered: makeup usage. I feel that a lot of women are able to distinguish colors because of the experience that comes from using makeup. Go to any store and look at the rouges - you will find every single possible shade of it with a different name. Similar to the anecdote that humans didn't have a word for "blue" until blue dye got common. Would men who use makeup also be able to perceive those individual shades?
> I just open-sourced a streaming replication tool for SQLite called Litestream that does physical replication (raw pages) instead of logical replication (SQL commands). Each approach has its pros and cons. Physical replication logs tend to be larger than logical logs but I agree that you avoid a lot of issues if you do physical replication.

Hmm. Not having dug into your solution much, is it safe to say that the physical replication logs have something like logical checkpoints? If so, would it make sense to only keep physical logs on a relatively short rolling window, and logical logs (ie. only the interleaved logical checkpoints) longer?
I wonder what the yin and yang / success rate of such mandates are / how the response really goes.

I remember the light bulb rules at a national level had to be rolled back when there just wasn't enough capacity to replace them all with non incandescent options.
I built a small project using a Raspberry Pi Zero. Wanted to use it in my car. One frustration is that it takes 30+ seconds to boot and show signs of life on power-on.

That’s kind of funny to me. I’m old and I’ve got a manual transmission Saab. Young people who get in the car with me (back before COVID) have literally asked what that thing (the shifter) is.
This. Curios to hear about people's experiences owning an EV without access to a charger at home.
We priced out pickup trucks recently for shits and giggles (because we live in rural america and really have a decently often use for one).

They're so expensive. And the dealer pushes the 84+ month loan to bring the payment down. Like, I get that it's a $450/month payment, and that's supposed to sound reasonable (it isn't reasonable, at 3/4 the cost of our mortgage). But it's for 8 years! There's no way this truck is going to last that long. Who does this? Why?

There are areas of the US where electric will probably be a tough sell as someone's only vehicle for certain types of trips and driving. Is it a large percentage? Probably not.

Long haul trips were never the biggest concern for EV adoption, that's something that can largely be worked around through planning.

The biggest concern has always been charging infrastructure. EVs are great for people with garages, but not so much for the people in cities with no dedicated parking spot.

Banning ICEs is probably the best mechanism to get society to solve this problem. Otherwise, most city-dwellers will just sit back and continue to drive ICE cars waiting for someone else to solve the charging issue.
iPad, iPod, iPhone, MBP, iMac, AppleWatch, ... oh, that's already six devices tied to the same account.

I think the idea is that you don't tie all your friends' devices to your account to share apps etc., but I am just guessing.
If it is just checking for speed differences than it useless at checking for "Net Neutrality Violations". This is because Net Neutrality would mean treating all traffic the same.

As bigger players use more bandwidth, if treated the same they will have congestion at peak hours as they use more bandwidth per visitor than smaller sites.

For someone like Netflix to be as fast as a smaller website, they would need a peering arrangment that is special for them.
C++20 is the distant future for a lot of code bases.
Yeah, you basically need to own a home to have an electric car right now. Many blue-collar workers who have to drive around a lot in the middle of nowhere are also excluded at least for the next few years.
> the number of high-speed chargers are tiny (think a couple of locations per large city)

That's not so far off. Even large cities in North America have no more than a few dozen gas stations (and the UK likely fewer still due to things like London's congestion pricing reducing vehicle count). Once-a-week-or-so fueling doesn't really require a huge amount of infrastructure. That's one of the reasons we're all addicted to driving in the first place, after all.

And charging stations are, of course, absolutely dirt cheap to build relative to fuel stations. They'll keep up with demand easily as the driving stock expands. The limit, if there is one, is going to be the electrical distribution infrastructure. High voltage lines into cities aren't as cheap as we'd want.
