While I don't love Microsoft, 4-5 hours of downtime due to a bad OS update isn't anything to write home about and is by no mean restricted to Windows, especially in 2007.

Same thing can happen on Mac (Catalina bricking MacBooks via bad EFI update) or Linux (where do I start).

Basically, you have to pick your poison and a sysadmin that withholds updates until all SW apps and packages are tested thoroughly on the company devices before green-lighting the rollout.

Clicking Update each time you get a notification, has the risk of ending badly for your business no matter what OS you choose.

Rebalancing is a thing, though generally for risk reasons. It would/could have saved one's returns during the so-called Lost Decade of the 2000s with the S&P 500:

As your equities dropped, there's a good chance bonds would have at least stayed neutral, or even risen: so you'd sell some of those (sell high) and pick up equities at a discount (buy low).

There are even products available that do this automatically for you:

"Enjoy" is a complex emotion in the context of writing an entire publishable book. Even if someone finds all the actual research and writing enjoyable, they probably don't love all the editing and copyediting and other mechanics all that fun.

> But as a Linux user myself, I somehow tend to prefer using something like Google Docs in the (very rare) cases I need an office suite. Calc just isn't anywhere close to Excel,

This sounds really paradoxical to me: granted Calc isn't Excel, but it has maybe 50% of the features when Google Doc has, I don't know, maybe 3% …

When doing basic things, you are almost always good with Calc, meanwhile Google Doc is like the most minimal spreadsheet you can get.
Oh, thanks for finding that. Seems my hunch about weapons was right, for some (to me unknown) reason.
I don't support what happened at the Capitol, but it made more sense to me than what was happening over the summer. They thought they were betrayed or whatever by the government, so they took it out on the government. What sense does it make for BLM "protesters" to burn cars and buildings, loot stores, etc., to protest police violence?

The captions on his YouTube videos stated GME could increase by 10x, while he was an active broker/supervisor at a licensed brokerage and money manager.

And

“ FINRA has strict rules for licensed brokers regarding use of social media. For example, their rulebook states:

“Investors and financial services professionals alike are increasingly using social media for a variety of business purposes. Social Media may be a new medium, but FINRA’s rules on communicating with the public are still applicable. The rules protect investors from false, misleading claims, exaggerated statements, and material omissions…”
I guess that's true. I didn't really consider monthly fees for a course from one person. But then I would say that he/she probably didn't have 400 students in total, but instead 400 subscribed students at all times. Unless each student stayed subscribed for several years, which I find unlikely unless he/she releases new high quality content every week.

As a user, I don't care how or why the ads appear - they're ads regardless.
As a PM at a large tech company, I often describe the value of my role as this: we pay engineers a lot of money for their specialized skills. It is great if they can meet with customers, but that can't be 50% of their time, or even 25%. Even worse, they should not be spending their time communicating to executives via slide decks, writing documents for the sales teams, meeting with lawyers, meeting with other teams to negotiate turf battles -- etc., etc. Big companies need PMs because someone has to do all the "stuff." Yes, in the course of doing it, the PM gains some power to set the product strategy and roadmap -- by virtue of being the nexus of all the information -- but this is almost always done in close collaboration with the engineering team anyway. It makes no sense to compete with other companies for valuable engineers who can actually create software and then use up their time doing things that I can do for them. Someone who used to write code but now manages all of the business isn't an engineer anymore, he or she is a former engineer who is now a PM (or an executive perhaps), regardless of the job title.

> I've played with Tvheadend before and the way DVB-T works is multiple channels are placed on a single multiplex, so you only actually need 5 tuners to receive 30 channels.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but this sounds like it'll be different per channel/network. For example here in the UK, the BBC airs multiple channels through one multiplex stream, so if you have 1 tuner, you can watch all the channels in the same mux. But one mux can have more or fewer channels than another mux.

When I moved from the Netherlands to the UK, it was what I wanted to do, though I was young and didn't have much besides an idea. So I quickly gave up on it.

I suppose the question is why do you need to have it looped, why not just set up TVHeadend accordingly, and stream it, then through kodi or an alternative, simply use it as a cloud set top box.

This is how I've been using our FTA channels in the UK. I've got a tuner that receives the channels, and tvheadend that streams it to my TV, where I can record, or simply watch each channel.
Microsoft is just amazing at 'helping' companies chose software. If you're already on a microsoft stack at work, maybe running some in house servers, exchange, some other things, and you're partially in the cloud as well, it's a no brainer to get office as well with it, and teams, and whatever else.

Microsoft has an entire ecosystem that works fairly well. It doesn't make much sense to just use libreoffice when Office just works and comes with the the rest of the pie you are eating.
Indeed. It's startling how much entertainment is actually social engineering. It's worth reading Propaganda by Edward Bernaise if you're interested in better understanding these coordinated approaches.

I'm not sure how much I'd say that's why so much romance is set in a particular era, but I'd buy that's why they are promoted so much and heavily influences their tone and themes.

IBM having a blockchain team makes about as much sense as Nintendo having a self driving car team.
Thank you for the response. I'm from Nepal, so I know what a Garuda is and what Shree means. Another commenter also mentioned the connection with Indonesia but you're probably aware that it is the vahan (mount) of the lord Vishnu himself, so it is quite ubiquitous. I had not, for some reason, made the connection with the linux penguin and it makes a lot of sense in that context. Thanks!

Regarding the other discussion on 786 and Shree, I agree with you. The closest parallel to Allah hu Akbar I can think of would perhaps be something like Aum Namaha Shivaya, but not really.
Ive used and built ethereum contacts and for me it's a failed project. Today it costs $11 to get a transaction through. That alone makes the project useless for most people.

Even just reansering money is expensive.

BTC and ethereum have both failed. Bitcoin Cash and Monero are doing well but basically ignored because they work so well they are boeing.

I think, this particular part of the design is here for historical reasons. The classic way of allocating memory in Unix systems was heap extension with brk/sbrk calls, so glibc malloc from beginning was designed using these syscalls and logic. So with this mechanism you need to free last allocated object to shrink the heap.
Now, allocators often get new memory from system using mmap syscall and probably have different expectations.

These things don't just invade your privacy though. Entier UIs are built around making you behave in ways the vendor wants or looking at ads (and absolutely nothing else) where the vendor rents the ability to manipulate their users behavior en mass.

If it were just privacy you would have a point but it was never about privacy, that's just much easier to measure and talk about because it's something most people have been talking about since the 80s/90s when strong cryptography became available to the average computer user.
Solus 4.2 Released
That's absolutely ok! I'm also very open to feedback if you have any :)
I think I know what you mean, and surface texture effects on light/shadow are certainly lost in most captures. Even when effort is made to capture 3D/depth information it is difficult to show. In fact, I would say that the most likely point of loss is actually your monitor. Even if web formats (like "theartnewspaper.com") have tiny unexpandable images there's no reason not to have barely compressed images at much higher resolutions and high bit depth.

PC monitors are usually lower resolution than you can see, while their color accuracy and contrast range are notoriously poor. 8-bit sRGB is simply not able to carry visible color gamut and contrast without loss. I'd recommend only using TVs or very high end monitors for viewing something like art. The captured data is likely much higher resolution (e.g. >1000ppi) and scanned in Raw with 36bit (12bit RGB) color. It's possible to screw up, but there's not a lot of reason to.

The new 10 bit HDR standards (Rec2020 etc) are much better and can come close to human visible range without gamma compression. If you stand at the right distance from a 4k OLED or better a 6k XDR Pro Display rotated to the correct aspect ratio, you can approach what the eye is capable of... if view tracking and light source modeling were used you might even start to emulate some depth.

A dozen misinformed CTOs who signed large Watson checks just felt a great disturbance...
Makes sense. My limited understanding is that with options I don't just have to guess that the stock will go up but also by how much and when. Agreed that many amateurs (like me) don't realize this well enough.
Commodities are infinite more volatile than stocks - mostly due to the sheer [large] volume of market participants. For example, today the nasdaq 100 future moved 22 points in the first 60 seconds of the day session. That's $480 gain/loss, per contract - in the first 60 seconds. Within 180 seconds, it moved a further 50 points. To recap...within the first 3 minutes, the futures market moved 72 points, or $1,440 per contract.

Some extra information (in case you are curious)... the symbol I mentioned above is "NQ", it's the commodity future for
the Nasdaq 100. Margin requirements are (on average) $15,000 to $20,000 per contract, which will vary by the broker. There is a catch though...during the hours of 9:30-4:00p EST, those margins drop to $500-600 per contract. These are "day margins", ie for "day trading". So in those first 180 seconds, you could lose 3 times the margin required for a small(1 contract) position.

edit: updated margin requirements to include day margin
Enterprise blockchain only makes sense if you have multiple industry partners that don't trust each other, compete, but agree standardization on protocols make sense. But even if you get to that point, probably you don't need blockchain, although the buzzword may help decision-makers approve the standardization project.

That said I am enormously bullish on the crypto / blockchain space. Decentralized finance just makes so much sense. But I am an individualist and a strong believer in decentralization, so that biases me.

We are still in very, very early days, but what has been accomplished has been incredible, and you see it reflected in the prices of major assets like BTC and ETH but if you care to look deeper beneath the prices and actually see the tech, what's going on in the Ethereum space is incredible.
Red Hat employee here. Contrary to your "inserts a bunch of people" characterization, IBM wanted to get into hybrid cloud so they acquired Red Hat in one of the largest tech acquisitions in history, and we create hybrid clouds for our customers. As we are part of IBM now, IBM is in fact providing hybrid cloud to its customers from start to finish in a substantive way. So there's really no comparison to be made to technologies for which IBM has not made substantive investment.
Doesn't every open source blog software allow you to self-host? How is your solution superior to the battle-tested Wordpress or dozens of other options?
This. How many real use cases are there where you really need to distribute trust? For currency, there's some sense in it.

But when i hear things like using blockchain for contracts or for keeping track of supply chain... it always seems like what people really want is just a well organized and reasonably trustworthy third party who can handle this stuff. Does anyone have any specific examples where blockchain would be a better solution?

Boston Dynamics Latest Spot Robot Can Recharge Itself
I think we just have different value systems. For me, even the potential of abusing these powers is enough to break up Amazon, and I see very little reason to hold back. It's like trying to prevent a country from developing nuclear weapons, even though they have a great government and there's no evidence they would ever abuse them.

Basically, Amazon's "right to grow" or whatever is not important at all to me, and I don't see what harm is done by breaking them up. I guess a few executives and large shareholders might lose some money, but everybody keeps their jobs, their products will continue, it just feels as obvious to me as your position feels to you. Corporations don't have rights and are not innocent until proven guilty, there's no need to convict them of a crime. It's like city planning: if the community would be better served by removing a highway and putting in some dedicated bus lanes, you just take a vote and then do it, you don't have to wait until there's a 20 car pileup on the highway to take action.
since each memory request chooses the best fit fragment from an individual arena and not the best fit fragment overall

I vaguely remember when working with the DOS memory allocator many years ago, you could choose between the first/next/best/worst fit strategies, and best fit would tend to produce the worst fragmentation (creating lots of tiny fragments); but as others have noted, it highly depends on the allocation pattern of the application.

Love the idea. We've got kids and try to keep their likenesses off the public / data-slurping internet (Google, FB/WA/Insta, etc) by sending photos to friends and family via Signal.

The downside is that everything's ephemeral. I've long thought there was room for a private network where you can pub/sub to people you care about. Sort of a simple and private Livejournal / Blogger.

FWIW I think the self-hosting bit isn't where the opportunity is. It's in hosted private sharing. One thing I'd do is create landing pages for people who want to share privately and have $$. Parents are the first group that comes to mind.

I wish you success - the world needs what you're doing!
My understanding is that it's popular among EU users.
In our system (has event-sourcing parallels) we can optionally use it by chaining subsequent event hashes to each other and letting blocks of such events be signed by an external signing server.

This does not require a bitcoin de-centralized signing process though and is better done via a normal external authority.

It is now harder to falsify server data, since you not only have to recreate all hashes from the moment of change in the event log, but also have them be authenticated by the external source. In addition to the underlying ZFS snapshots a lot needs to be compromised to change data without detection

Absolutely. You’ll note that the OP’s word choice was invented - defined would indeed be appropriate and not at all absurd.
From the webpage:

Haven is about sharing privately with friends and family. There is no option to make your blog public to the world. You get to create an account for anyone you want to have access. When they connect to your site, they use https encryption between their web browser and your server. That means nobody can intercept and read your posts. Since you create accounts for people, there is no place for spammers or internet bots try creating accounts.

If you want a public blog to build a base of followers, or promote a product, or try to profit from your blog—this isn't the right service for you. I suggest you use Wordpress instead.
Yes, but it's not in "websafe" 216 colour or super compressed jpeg.
I've been using Espanso for about a month and it's made some tasks in my daily life so much easier. I regularly have to use template text, and instead of having to copy-paste it every time I've just set it to a snippet and it ends up saving me quite a lot of time. I've also taken to using it for URLs, as in some repsects its easier than having something bookmarked.

Definitely one of those tools that make me wonder how I got by without it
Jovan Byford, a psychology lecturer, is cited in the article as saying:

Lack of evidence of a conspiracy, or positive proof against its existence, is taken by believers as evidence of the craftiness of those behind the plot, and their ability to dupe the public.

I like how he puts it. That sentence was taken from an article in The Conversation from July 2020 (linked from the NYT piece), which I enjoyed at the time and in which he lays out his "six rules of engagement" with conspiracy theorists:

depends on the company. i once (15 years ago) was interviewing with a company and they essentially asked me to whiteboard some regex like pattern matching flow. i did it, and after completing it to their satisfaction i said that in real world i wouldn't do it, as it's waste of time and will use lib* whatever. I didn't get this job :)
a few years later, i discovered that few guys on one of the teams were from this very company. what was standing out about them, it's that they always had to reinvent any standard functionality/library with peak of it been their own xml-rpc protocol that they came up with, because xml-rpc wasn't good enough. I guess ethos of this company and all people that they hired, was to reinvent wheels, bicycles, etc and I didn't fit that ethos well .

this was also the only whiteboard coding interview in my life
