I didn't know that meme; it's actually funny. What's wrong with asking people to put their money where their mouth is? I thought engineers are not like these managers/salesmen/'talkers' that say one thing on the TED stage, then go do something completely different IRL and find that A-OK.

Don't argue with me then - but you should at least explain how anything I've said was in bad faith if you accuse me of that.

> Edison needed to install a generator

So did everyone he sold a bulb to in the early years. Central power distribution didn’t start until 1881, but a great many places had generators back then. It’s still the seemingly flat part of the hockey stick graph, but zoom in and you’re looking at exponential growth so starting 10 years early would have dramatically cut into sales.

> Edison’s bulbs, with their high resistance, used far less power than arc lamps.

Edison’s bulbs where less efficient so they needed more power to produce the same light as arc lamps. In applications where a single Edison bulb was sufficient it used less power, but it was extremely common back then to use multiple bulbs as early incandescents didn’t put out much light and it was only companies or the ultra wealthy who could afford to electrify. He was in the sweet spot entering a large enough market to be profitable, and then riding exponential growth into true wealth.

Oddly, this is also why he favored peep shows over movie theaters. His bulbs didn’t put out enough light to project movies.
How would this be a good test in a technical interview? Even if you are hiring “Big Data” folks most of them wouldn’t and shouldn’t know half of these products and companies.

Not to mention that it doesn’t tell you if the person knows the products or if they are just a huge Pokémon fan...

If anyone uses this as candidate assessment tool I would expect anyone with any shred of dignity to walk out.

My Mikrotik router does this easily. You can tell it (with a Firewall NAT rule) "any outbound connection to port 53 is to be redirected to this internal IP and port" -- and this internal IP and port is where my PiHole is.

People here do not start new companies that frequently (as is the culture in the US, I think). Many people switch companies and while they can refer you at their new company (and they do), you still have to go through the interviewing process.
My own experience: My first job I was approached by one of my Uni professors that had a small company, to work for them. Second job (while still doing my masters at Uni) I had to go through an actual exam for a big company in my country. I found out about it at the Uni (they'd post everywhere they were looking). Third job found on Stack Overflow. Current job found on LinkedIn.
>their existence proves the absence of a (econ 101 style) market in whatever industry they came from.

Actually, it proves that a single company can serve an entire market and by that extension a single CEO can serve an entire market. It's not that the CEO is super productive, it's just that there is no need for a second CEO.

You're right about monopolies though. One single company serving an entire market will just cause inefficiency over the long term.

That's not enough. If anything, it can make tracking more pervasive and harder to control.

The server fingerprints the user and shares this info with an ad network, fetches and injects a personalized ad. Same result, zero accountability: no way to delete server side PII, no way to know what information was collected, no way to know how it was actually used. Even worse, the server gets to read the ad delivered to you, which may leak even more information.

There is no purely technical solution which can replace regulation.

> Public funding of someone's basic needs of food and shelter isn't a lifestyle.

It sounds like a big chunk of a lifestyle, something like 30% of my lifestyle is food and shelter. What do you want to call it?

And that isn't really germane to the debate. If someone is relying on the government for basic food and shelter they aren't going to be able to hold a candle to someone who is economically independent. One of those two is just more important and respectable than the other.

> usually, they're just taking out a bit from what they've already contributed to

If you see taxes as some sort of savings program then fair enough, but then would you have objections if people like me opt out of paying into that part? Because I reckon I could set up an insurance program that would cost a fraction as much. Pretty sure I'm paying for a lot of people who haven't contributed as much as they are taking out (and I'm pretty sure most people think that is the point).
Because Nordic countries are very similar culturally and compare between each other all the time. I have a Finnish girlfriend and my impression is that first thing that Finnish people do when considering a policy is to ask how it's done in Sweden. They overall rejected Swedish approach with good results.

All the other countries you mentioned have vastly different cultures. E.g. I'm Polish and I can say that Polish government doesn't care about law and Polish people are fine with it. It's not to the extent Ukraine or Russia does it, but still. Poles also do not respect authority. This is in exact opposite to how things go in Finland or Sweden. It's almost a taboo to question authorities in Sweden or Finland.
> the last time I worked through a linux VM on my mac laptop, everything got much slower. Our nodejs service took 2-3x longer to start up or to build. I think the issue was filesystem overhead for some reason.

Docker on Mac has a lot of IO overhead. This is mentioned in the article:

> The way I made it work is by having a full “dev environment” running virtually. That means that I check out repositories on the virtual disk and run everything from there. This has the slight inconvenience that I can’t easily access those files with Finder, but the upside is that there is no noticeable IO latency issues like when running Docker for Mac.

If you just want improved performance with bind mounts instead, you can use :cached or :delegated flags.
Stimulant overdosage can cause permanent brain damage.
The article author uses VSCode remote support to work with VM. This is not ideal from a security point of view. VSCode is huge, typically uses a lot extensions and all that has access to all local files and ssh keys. So for this reason I run VSCode inside a VM or a container with VNC server to provide X session. This works OK without GPU even on 4K screen while providing much better isolation.
They also have Carbon Monoxide sensors.
There is a simple way to fix this.

1. Introduce tight quotas and enforce them strictly.
2. Only allow imports from nations that follow the same, or a stricter, protocol.
2.a Alternatively, enforce an import quota or prevent imports completely.
3. Measure the effect and adapt quotas if necessary.

Now I am not a marine biologist, but I presume that the areas where quotas are enforced are of utmost importance in that matter. So the difficult part is to get many nations on board and define meaningful areas of the high seas that are then protected.
And part of the brain controls sleep cycles. However, picking a single neuron or transistor and saying it has ultimate authority doesn’t really work because the origination occurs at a higher level.
> I'd bet there are hundreds or thousands of genius programmers living in Russia, Brazil, the Balkans, Guatemala and many other countries that simply couldn't land a job at FAANG even if they wanted to.

Maybe they know they are just too clever for FAANG companies and can do even better for themselves by starting their own businesses?

We have to stop this constant submission to FAANG companies as 'the dream job' when in fact there are smaller companies out there that are just as good as they are and are also extremely profitable.

I don't they are interested in the glory days of the 2010s which the FAANG companies were the talk of the town. Fast-forward 10 years, they are now under scrutiny by everyone and it's not looking good for them. It's time to find new and emerging companies that will define the 2020s or 2030s.

Something doesn't add up here
Going to the USA has been my dream since being a teenager but that's not the case anymore.

The USA has some good things going for it: VC money, great salaries, true freedom of speech (unlike the EU), right to bear arms (unlike most of the EU, where only robbers have guns and if you defend yourself you risk getting sued - tried on my skin), beautiful seaside, legal weed, less problems with immigrants (African immigration is a bomb waiting to explode, if it hasn't exploded already), place with good opportunity and enjoy a nice climate (in Europe the choice is between cold places with good work opportunity, aka UK, Switzerland or warm places with a barely functioning economy and ridiculously high taxes).

Unfortunately health care is too expensive, taxes are as high as Europe (where is your freedom?), the food is subpar, mass shooting in schools, you have to drive way too much, a culture that is transitioning kids because they think they're the opposite gender.

All in all, I think I'll stick with Europe for the time being and consider maybe South America or South East Asia in the future.

This is quite a bad mindset of dismissing facts and not investigating bad outcomes because they are categorized as FUD. It's the same mindset that never changes your opinion about something if it's made up etc. Very dangerous for the situation we are in.
It has been the reality for some sets of society during particularly terrible periods within humanities history. Gulags, concentration camps, work gangs and any other element of human exploitation.

For these to work most often one needs to denigrate the peoples concern to the point where they are no longer even perceived as the same level of human. Sure all of that is possible but we wont have useful conversations or strategies if we're constantly elevating every instance of stratified to a slave like scenario.

I'm not convinced that there is really any other make up of society. The only way would be for us all to live as isolated self sufficient hermits.
I think it would be a great interview question to weed out companies I wouldn't want to work for.

Well not really. Actually minimum wage in Ukraine (where I live) is rather low, so businesses generally pay higher.
Fast food workers are not on minimum wage.

In terms of salary a school teacher would make less or the same as McDonalds worker.

For example, McDonalds Ukraine pays an entry level worker -14 000 UAH ($500) monthly for 40 hours per week.
School teacher makes minimum 5000 UAH ($180), +bonus(10-60%). Teacher who was awarded a "highest category" certification (that would be a very experienced one) and who will get all the possible bonuses and raises will make around 14 000 UAH, roughly.

Workers, cleaning personnel would make in the same ballpark 9000 - 14000 UAH ($300-500) at least in Kyiv. Selling phones in the store, work at supermarket also has a similar remuneration.

Average doctor salary (not nurse) is 9000 UAH, at least officially.

The reason is - most those highly skilled and highly educated workers that I've mentioned are paid by the government which does not have funds and desire honestly to treat these people well. They are remnants of decaying public infrastructure - Ukraine has de jure free universal health care and a very big amount of government-funded seats at state universities.
Still it is better to work at school than at the factory probably.

You just have a stereotype of how certain things work, everything is not like US/Western Europe structurally. Higher education is not a ticket to a better life everywhere.

Your information is very outdated.

Vault has integrated storage since multiple versions, and Nomad can very well use a single Consul cluster for both SD and K/V. ( And honestly i can't recall having two Consul clusters being recommended, and the proposal we had from Hashicorp included a Consul Enterprise cluster for Vault as part of Vault's pricing.)

So, you need three clusters - Vault, Nomad and Consul for SD and KV for Nomad. Two of which, Consul and Nomad, can run on the same machines ( it'd be suboptimal security-wise to have Vault there too).
>If someone is relying on the government for basic food and shelter they aren't going to be able to hold a candle to someone who is economically independent.

Relying on an employer for food and shelter makes one no more economically independent than reliance on a government. Unless you're wealthy, you're left begging to one system or another.

There is some official claim somewhere in the vbox forums that vbox will never support ARM, so you might just as well consider it dead.

I'm currently using Docker for Mac but will move to UTM (a.k.a a nice UI atop qemu-hvf) when I have some time at hand.

Vagrant I only used for some other OS VMs (e.g smartos) but the base images are x64 so there's no chance it works well (if ever) on ARM either.
Offline messaging is indeed a challenge on such distributed services that avoid any central servers. Currently messages are only cached for around 10 minutes in the DHT network before they are discarded. The way Jami currently handles delivery of such messages is to cache the message on the sender's device, and send it as soon the recipient of the message comes online. This ofcourse requires the sender to be online as much as possible. Beta testing is currently going on for group chats that will also provide a better solution for this - https://jami.net/swarm-introducing-a-new-generation-of-group... ...
'agromining' – farming plants that contain metal – could help power the future
As someone coming from a currently socialist country and married to a post soviet citizen, I somewhat disagree. It's true there was optimism towards infrastructural technology but there is sever distrust to communication technology. As the main form of oppression is misuse of surveillance, people are very uncomfortable with these new technologies.
My first attempt at this configuration was using a podman container (my laptop runs Fedora).

It worked well, except that I occasionally want to run a container within my dev-environment. Running a container inside a container is possible, but not easy.

Is it so surprising? The key takeaway could be rephrased “Healthy humans living under conditions similar to our evolutionary past naturally sleep an optimal amount of time at night.”

> When I get under 6 hours I see a clear drop off in performance.

Or is it “When I temporarily find myself in an environment with stress-levels similar to those of the people in the study I a) start to perform like them on modern day tasks and b) start to sleep like them.”?
IMO it's general usability.

For example a very common thing you might want to do is add text (or any other layer) on top of an image and then center that text / layer either vertically or horizontally relative to the image.

In Photopea you create a text layer and then drag it near the middle and it'll show you guidelines when you're close and then snap into the perfect center (either vertically, horizontally or both). It takes like 2 seconds and feels intuitive.

In GIMP you have to make sure you switch to the alignment tool which is hidden by default so you need to remember to hit Q to activate it or hover over the move tool and select it but if you hit Q you better make sure you're not in any text input because it'll insert "Q" instead of switching your tool, but since you're adding text chances are you will be so you need to remember to click away. Then you need make sure you click an active area of your text layer and click the align horizontal icon, then you need to click the align vertical icon. Then if you decide you want to change your text you have to repeat this whole process again.

Another example is adding a simple stroke (line) around some text or other layer effects that Photoshop has had for over 10+ years.

In Photopea, you open up layer styles, pick the stroke option and can tweak the colors and thickness very quickly. After applying the style you can change and move around your text and the styles are applied to it automatically, it feels intuitive to use.

In GIMP I spent an hour researching plugins to add this behavior and after picking one it technically works but the user experience is pretty hostile. It creates the stroke as a separate layer so you can't move your text and the stroke together unless you remember to link them, and if you decide to change your text content or size you have to delete the old stroke layer and make a new one.

GIMP is really good in terms of what it can do but using it feels like death by a thousand paper cuts because you need to do so many steps to accomplish what feels like basic things that other editors have had for years when it comes to user friendly features.

I understand creating a highly polished image editor isn't easy and honestly if I knew their code base I would open a PR for the snap to center guidelines but at this point I have to imagine if they wanted to add that feature it would have been added. From the outside it feels like it hasn't been added because they don't want that feature, but as an end user that makes me wonder why. It's such a useful thing.
The Filter menu looks a bit funky to me (edit: in Firefox 87): https://i.imgur.com/S70o2eU.png ... probably one of my addons messing with it but I don't have that problem in GIMP.
