Certainly seems good enough to route 2.5gbe, although the router will be doing things other than just sending traffic (NAT, packet inspection for firewalls, etc.)

You need the drivers though. Looks like rtl8125b support landed in Linux 5.9, but as far as I can tell VyOS and OpenWRT are still on 4.x, so you'll likely be in custom land - either upgrading to 5.9, backporting the driver, or using the realtek-provided driver. Looks like people are working on it recently for openwrt: https://forum.openwrt.org/t/setup-an-odroid-h2-with-openwrt/...

I'm only using gigabit at home, so didn't need 2.5g.
Yes, many employees want to come to the office part time. But Google says they will need to come to the office (almost) all the time. How many people want that?
If I understand correctly there is some evidence this may be changing with the variants, but it's inconclusive.
Anyone with sufficient experience with JPQL and Hibernate will realize their limits and how poorly it works in the latency sensitive transactions we want now. Spring and Hibernate were designed to cache domain 'entities' and manage their dirty state client-side as an optimization. Any time you go want to go near the EntityManager you're hitting this impedance mismatch.

I'm not a developer, but I don't work with a group of people located in the same building, so all projects are de facto pretty remote heavy.

I'd choose Pfizer because AFAIK this is the first vaccine Moderna has ever made. At least Pfizer has some history, even if both are using a new technology. Also, anecdotally, the Moderna shot seems to cause more side effects.

But I wasn't given a choice, and I'd happily get J&J if it was "this or nothin." So I ended up with Pfizer anyway.

Much of the verbosity came from the false presumption that every field in every class needs a public getter and setter. (I cannot express in words how terrible this is.) Some can come from the framework, mostly poorly-designed ones.

Medic | Sr. Software Engineer | Full-time | Global/Remote | https://medic.org/

We're a non-profit organization working to provide tooling for community health projects. Our team focuses on development of the Community Health Toolkit, which is a suite of open source components, but primarily an offline-first web application.

Here’s a quick list of some of the interesting aspects of our work:

- An offline-first mobile-first webapp. A lot of healthcare workers we serve may go multiple weeks without a network connection.

- Our software needs to be usable on underpowered hardware, which is common for those using it. Client-side performance improvements can make a big impact.

- We provide a platform that locally-customizable apps are built with. Backwards compatibility is critical as is careful thought for new capabilities.

As for the technical parts, almost all development is done in JavaScript and TypeScript. We’re using Angular 10 on the client and node on the server with Pouch/CouchDB for data storage and syncing.

If that all sounds like fun stuff to you, please read the full job description and apply! https://medic.pinpointhq.com/en/jobs/10055
They might as well argue the case for people to not act badly.

Trailer parks are bad because they are the lowest cost lowest effort housing widely available. By definition the worst of people are going to flock there. Which of course means anyone decent is going to seek a better place even at a cost of more work and money to themselves.
I somewhat agree, but Java grew up in a different era when communication about these things wasn't as easy. It's hard to change the direction of something as large and widely deployed as Java. It's happening but it will take time and its always going to dealing with its legacy as there just so much of it out there.
Let me see if I can help you. One of Bitcoin's biggest selling points is that there is a limited supply of it. For it to be the world's reserve currency, each 1 BTC would represent a stunning amount of actual wealth. You can find plenty of starry-eyed investors using this principle to explain how their price target of, say, $10M/BTC makes sense.

Sound good so far?

Next, the block reward is denominated in BTC. Currently 6.25 BTC every 10 minutes, but it'll halve again in 2024. The block reward, plus transaction fees, is what the network pays miners. It makes sense for miners in aggregate to expend about that much money on mining, because if the network is spending less than that, there is still profit available for additional miners joining in.

If that 6.25 BTC becomes valued at 10x or 100x as much as it is today, the expenditure on mining will also be 10x or 100x larger. Obviously this can't actually exceed the energy production of the world because that's impossible, but this new artificial demand for energy can soak up lots of capacity that would otherwise go to more productive, yet less profitable, endeavors. The fact that it's using 1/200th of the world's energy production already, while it's just a toy speculation vehicle, doesn't bode well.

As you correctly point out though, this additional expenditure on mining will do absolutely nothing to help the number of transactions that can be processed in any given time period.
That calculator doesn't reflect the reality of ownership for a mobile home, though. You can't mortgage them, and they're not attached to land. You either need to rent land (in which case you're back to square one, where you're really renting), or purchase land that allows it, which often means a longer commute.
The Achilles Heel in Ontario's policies have been a lack of mandated paid sick days, so people in warehouses are going in sick and at no point closing down large store or warehouse-type workplaces where the bulk of the transmission is happening.

This is nowhere near enough and is very much a token effort without making any meaningful change. The Ford government refuses to actually spend any money to ameliorate the effects of the pandemic.
I totally agree. I'd also love for the ability to specify how far in advance I want to know about turns so I can start getting in the correct lane without just shoving my way in at the last minute cause hey my turn is in 50 yards.

Flagsmith.

We are a remote-first team, looking to scale our Open Source Feature Flagging, Remote Config and A/B Testing product. With both SaaS and on-premise customers, we are investing into our globally distributed, low latency API and making it simple for customers to deploy on their own infrastructure via Kubernetes and OpenShift.

We are looking for a server-side engineer, who also enjoys working on dev-ops, infrastructure and orchestration, and can help build out our existing API and infrastructure.

We are a really small team right now, and this is our first technical hire outside of the founders, so it’s a great opportunity to be part of something that is looking to scale quickly!

I get the sense on the street that the credibility of these orders and the authority behind them is diminishing.

> It would be very useful to know when your friend opens your message

Sure, it might be useful for them, but I'd still like to have to opt-in to it.

If my friend embedded a tracking pixel in my email because I didn't have read receipts and they wanted to know if I'd opened their email, I'd be having a real serious conversation about boundaries and privacy with that "friend".

Advertisers that do the same thing are being shitty people, in exactly the same way it'd be shitty if a friend did it.

To be clear, I'm not arguing against read receipts. I'm arguing against _working around_ opt-in read receipts.
I think you overestimate the importance of whether an emission is capped or not. I would argue [1] that the more important issue is whether the inflation rate is eventually negligible, which is where fiat is lacking.

There is a very good argument for fiat as well as a good argument for crypto.
Stocks can have cashflow. It is possible that GME will come up with a new business plan that makes money. Maybe unlikely, but it is something you can make a bet on. BTC is more like a lottery. You don't know what day will be the peak price. So you buy your BTC sell to someone else and hope you guess the top. BTC will never turn a profit, all you can do is hope that you sell before it crashes.

Similarly a lottery ticket will never produce dividends or cashflow. You pick a number and hope it is the lucky one.
Some servers restart automatically as soon as it gets to the year 2050, so by figuring out how long a game usually lasts and when the current game started you can make a guess as to when the next one will start.

The servers run by the OpenTTD reddit even have an online status website with game logs (https://ttdredd.it/). I tended to play there as whenever a game started, there were always a half-dozen players online.

I haven't read up on the details of these but this is a huge step in the right direction if pulled off properly. The dichotomy between primitive and non-primitive types in Java is a real rough spot. I'd have to see how they deal with null values though because the introduction of auto-boxing certainly introduced a new area for NullPointerExceptions to catch the unwary off-guard.
I stand by my assessment of GP, but that's beside the point. You're right, and I apologise.
The YouTube channel [0] has plenty of introduction videos, but I find the documentation [1] to be the best place to start. You should set up Consul (service mesh) first, followed by Nomad (orchestration), and Vault (secret management) if you need it. The only thing I initially struggled with was the systemd-resolved config on Ubuntu, to make the service discovery work. I plan to write an article about it, should I ever find the time for it :)

Can anyone recommend some ways to level up a bit in this domain to feel more comfortable? I'm somewhat familiar and understand the underlying concepts to a certain extent, such as supervised vs nonsupervised, but need hands-on practice, what do you recommend?
About verbosity: you needed to define classes for so many things. Eg you want others to hook into processing in certain places. So you create a listener interface with some methods. And the provider needed to work with those, and the consumer also needs to work with them.

In modern Java maybe you can make do with functional interfaces and lambda, but it doesn’t always work I think.

And in emacs: the provider does run-hooks, and the consumer defines a function and says add-hook. Done. Very little ceremony.

HEllo,

Thank you for reaching out to us regarding your domain. Unfortunately,
Namecheap was legally required to lock your domain (along with others)
due to allegations from Facebook, who alleges that you and others are
using the domain(s) for abusive purposes. In addition, we were
required to put these domains in the custody of the court. This was
not an action that we wished nor wanted to take. It was forced upon us
by Facebook and allegations it made about the domain(s) in a pending
suit it brought against Namecheap.

If you believe your use of the domain is non-infringing or that it was
included in the lawsuit by mistake, we will forward any information or
evidence you provide us along to Facebook’s lawyers to see if it will
agree to remove your domain from the lawsuit.

If you would like to challenge Facebook’s allegations and the
corresponding domain lock in Court, you or your attorney may make an
appearance in the lawsuit, Facebook, Inc. et al. v. Namecheap, Inc. et
al., Case No. 2:20-cv-00470-GMS, which is pending in the U.S. District
Court for the District of Arizona.

We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your trust in us.

Thank you,
