We too have a lot of "general" services still on CentOS 7 and with maintenance support through middle of 2024, there's plenty of time for Alma and Rocky to set themselves apart. I'm a fan of both. Too soon to bandwagon.

For me, a couple month lead to initial release meant almost nothing. (Alma's initial release, as I understand it, wasn't even a 1:1 compatibility clone anyways)

Alma rolled up from CloudLinux devs, which is corporate. I also assume they had tooling already set up for their CloudLinux releases. I welcome and applaud all their efforts.

My initial concern was that CloudLinux would eventually steer AlmaLinux for overly commercial purposes. Not too interested in another RedHat-CentOS-IBM type dilemma. [Edit: Since then the AlmaLinux OS Foundation was created to take over AlmaLinux development and governance from CloudLinux]

What I know for sure is that Greg Kurtzer's reputation with RockyLinux is great and they seem to be rocking it, getting support, great organization, pure motivation, driving the product forward, etc. Maybe others are feeling that too?
In the US, federally funded research institutions have to follow certain rules when doing human subjects research. When I was a researcher the training I took said prisoners generally could not be used as subjects just because they were convenient, and that the two situations where they could typically be studied were cases where prisons, crime, or something else that was inherently specific to prisoners was being studied and cases where some condition very highly over represented among prisoners was what was being studied (the example given was HIV).

Ignoring stuff is fine if you make an encoder. When you're making a decoder, it's a big no-go. If implementers of the original JPEG would have implemented the whole spec, we would have 12-bit and lossless JPEGs. Instead we're stuck with the de facto JPEG standard, the subset of the spec that everyone ended up implementing.

making a new product doesn't put it front and center at a Google I/O keynote

It doesn't automatically put it front and centre at I/O, but as it's certain Google will want something to highlight which makes working on a new product is a fairly sensible idea if that's your goal. Innovating or maintaining an existing one is a lot less marketable.
It would be interesting to see the results if windows was upgraded instead of doing clean install for each version.

I find upgraded to be the #1 cause for issues with windows. A clean install (using iso downloaded from MS) normally resolves pretty much all problems and upgrade be the one that creates them.

> YouTube channels that show this kind of futuristic content, but views are in the 100K never millions. Do people have lost hope? Do people want to just watch negative content?

Wait you’re drawing a conclusion where there isn’t. The content on Youtube isn’t what people want to see, but what Youtube wants you to see. There are hundreds of thousands of Youtubers with 20k-people channels of extremely good quality, but you’ll never discover them organically, and the search for “futuristic content” (or anything really) will only return pre-approved channels, generally BBC or bad quality journalism which rehash other videos and slap a commentary and big text on top.

Assuming that Youtube returns the videos with the most clicks is a projection onto Youtube of your assumption that they are optimizing for clicks.

Maybe they optimize for sleepiness, maybe they optimize for a certain political leaning, you do not know.
Inflation can be followed by deflation in quick succession, though I suppose the term is more often used to describe a long-term trend.
I've used Google Talk ie Hangouts since the beginning with my friends/family. It's been a service that's worked reasonably well, for ages - and we can't have that, can we? So now, on Android, they're trying to force us over to "Chat in Gmail".

No, just no.

I don't want to open my email to then hit a chat tab to message my brother. They must be separate apps; it's messy when they try to cram everything into one app, there's even Meet there now.

(So there's a separate Google Chat app as well, but that's not mentioned at all in the Hangouts messaging, so I can only assume it's another dead project#. Functionality was awful and clunky when I tried it at some stage before).

Whoever's come up with this has absolutely no idea how their products are being used in the real world.

Looking for an alternative now that's not eg Facebook. Not sure about Discord, due to security. Not too keen on Signal due to ease of use, but might end up on that.

----

Edit: Signal is looking much nicer on the mobile than I recalled, sharing multiple pictures is really easy! This might be the go to.

#Also checked again on "Google Chat", still buggy (tried sharing multiple pics, weird behaviour) - but at least it's got a dark background now, so appears to be in dev - even though they'd like us to Chat in Gmail..

Technically impossible? Really? I don't think anyone held doubt. Perhaps people figured it'd be expensive to develop but certainly not impossible.

Based on my understanding that Covid-19 significantly impacts the blood and red meat is a primary source of important nutrients pertinent to blood health, I googled "alpha gal covid" and there are a few articles that turn up, such as:

U.S. Pharmacy Chain Will Not Give COVID-19 Vaccine to Customers with Severe Allergies – But Others Will

She was surprised when pharmacy staff then declined to vaccinate her. Harman, 78, says the Ingles staff told her it was “company policy that they could not give me the vaccine because I carried an EpiPen.”

Harman was diagnosed eight years ago with alpha-gal allergy (sometimes called red meat allergy) after a tick bite.

It is my understanding that stablecoins only exist to allow transfer of funds away from the US and into unregulated (by the US) places that offer leveraged transactions on Bitcoin, etc. If the funds flowing into these sites, (which are functionally just casinos) were to even take a temporary hit, quite a few margin calls would be made, and a systemic collapse like 2008 would likely result.

How anyone thinks that if Tether went to zero, $28 Billion would transfer out doesn't get it... the $28 Billion wouldn't transfer anywhere, because it was fictional to begin with, it would simply evaporate.

The problem with Google is Sundar Pichai.

His peers -- Satya Nadella, Jeff Bezos, Tim Cook, and Mark Zuckerberg -- all deeply understand and concern themselves with their companies' respective places in the world. They think twenty years into the future and frequently take risks to mitigate a changing landscape and position themselves for future wins.

Sundar Pichai isn't one to make bold bets. His company is a fat pig suckling on ad money. Google itself is completely drunk, comatose.

Google needs bold leadership. If nothing changes, it will eventually fall into decline and become a footnote.

Not only can this happen, it's already happened many times before.
You should also ask about gross vs net salary.

I can only speak for the AWS certs I’ve seen.

The associate certs don’t mean a lot. They are a low speed bump. But they are also the first step on the ladder to the more impressive ones. At the very least, they are an indicator that you’re willing to put up with some pain to start down the path towards something that might actually be useful. But to pass, you have to know the official “right” answers, and not necessarily the answers that would actually be correct and useful in the real world.

The professional certs do seem to require some real experience and work to achieve.

Historically, most certs haven’t been worth the paper they were printed on. But there were some that were actually an indicator that the person actually knew something useful, like Netware or Cisco certs.

As for myself, after 30+ years in the business, I finally broke down and actually got a cert. It’s just an AWS CCP, which I could have gotten in my sleep. But I consider this to be the first step on my path to the professional certs.

First, I presume he writes in Japanese, so the first question I would ask is are you reading it in Japanese. Translations vary greatly in quality.

Second, Asian literature often seems to follow a "Life continues with or without you" path and the characters may not learn anything and may have been completely bound to their (generally doomed) trajectory from the very start and just resign themselves to their fate.

Some call that deep and meaningful--I call it crap. YMMV.

Ted Chiang, in spite of being an American, somehow channels this, and I found I had to force myself through his writing.

> Poor research has real world consequences in this case (nutrition research), and we really need sound insight into what diet works best for the individual

I think your claim is unsubstantiated. You're for some reason under the belief that nutrition has a large impact on people's life expectancy and health, but I don't know what accurate experiment or data you're basing this off, while also pointing out that this research was not good enough.

All the nutrition studies are like this, and so if you disregard them, you're left with no reason to believe nutrition even affect health or life expectancy for the average person in the first place.
Trolling/gossiping etc are basically junk food for the mind; its not something that should be encouraged, is not good for the health, can be somewhat liberating when done in moderation, is difficult to control, feels great when you are doing it and feels shitty later.
For real

People take everything for granted now. There's no "future" anymore.

People dwell too much into politics (where it's mostly political BS of both sides) and "feel good" actions (even if it's just "feel hate")

Societal discussions are of course important but it has become more of a screaming match (to that I blame the R/Conservative side more than the other - but both sides are to blame) whereas technical innovation has been relegated to the backend. Or it is at best "taken for granted" (case of Covid vaccines)

Though on the topic of YT, there is some Discovery-quality level material (I mean, there's literally some Discovery programs there)
Take the practice exams first. If you do well enough on them, then you can probably take the real exam and pass with a good enough grade. If not, then you at least know what areas you need to go study.

But I would take multiple practice exams first, and make sure you get decent ones and not just free ones you find laying around somewhere.

In spite of how much we all benefit from the likes of Google, Apple, Amazon, etc., it's surprising and very disappointing how some (greedy, lazy) open source developers eventually tire of doing large amounts of work for free in order to help these excellent and public-spirited companies (or specifically their executives and shareholders) enjoy massive profits.

It's a shame that so few open source developers seem willing to beg for tips on github, and can't even be bothered to sign up wealthy patrons and donors for their projects, as recommended by this fine article.

I agree with your observation but disagree with your conclusion.

I believe division of labor is paramount to avoid burn-out. Of course, we would want to have the freedom to split our work around our workday. But that usually means work never ends. And for cognitive workers (like IT), it's hard to just turn it 'off' at some point and think about something else. If something is bugging you, you keep thinking about it. Is that considered work (time)?

Also, while I do believe we do not need as many synchronous meetings as we have right now (even remotely), I think we do need some. But people *also* need to get better at asynchronous work.
Good question. I've been working on this too iterating through Youtube and Medium tutorials and working through all the notebooks I can find. The best examples I've found use LSTM for deep learning and vector autoregression (VAR) for classical statistical forecasting.

US carrier groups are the main defence against the ccp’s slow-push into its neighbour’s territory.
