> Why would you distance Powell from the other "generals would never tell the truth"?

That's a fair question. My first reason was that Powell was in the State Department under W, and the State Department has a more skeptical attitude towards our military capabilities than the military itself does. My second reason, which may be wrong-headed, was that I assumed that the military tendency to misrepresent situations in an optimistic way comes from their desire to do the job. I.e., they say fighting will succeed because it's their job and they want to do it, and then when it isn't going well, they say it's going great because they want to prove that they can do it. Just like a developer downplays the complexity of a challenging project because they're excited about tackling it, and when they get in over their head, they won't admit it because they don't want the project cancelled before they can complete it, no matter how long it takes. (Like that, except with killing.) Since Colin Powell wouldn't be responsible for directing the invasions as a general, I didn't think he would be influenced by that aspect.

EDIT: I think in retrospect what I didn't understand about the Gulf War was that some people viscerally loathed the lessons of Vietnam, hated the idea that the U.S. military could be "defeated," and chose to interpret the Gulf War not as a vindication of applying the lessons of Vietnam, but as proof that the lessons of Vietnam no longer applied. Your comment about the infallibility of American military might reminded me of that.

Did anyone have a good experience with Balena Etcher? I don’t have a good runs with it, the boot process always failed to detect the files in the USB drive that was formatted by Etcher. BIOS couldn’t detect the partition or anything in that USB. I tried with various Linux distro and Windows ISOs, it just failed to load or not detectable in the booting. Even it couldn’t load a simple Gparted partition.

The only one I found consistent working is Rufus, it always works for me. Gparted, Linux Mint, Ubuntu, various distro and it works great with Windows ISO (even there is a Windows Media Creator). Rufus is only one so far in my experience that handles everything perfectly. Rufus is basically VLC of USB bootable utility, whereas Balena Etcher is Windows Media Player without all of the codecs (the original window version, not the MPC-HC/BE).

It does seem like CF is coming in and burning down the market instead of capturing part of it. Free is cool for developers but not exactly great for profits.

I can see a long term strategy where the next unicorn starts on CF and eventually pays them money. But it also feels like the big fish will migrate to AWS leaving CF with the cheap clients.

Are competitors charging for the product, or is it covered under patent?

I don't know the market, but it appears that it may be patented until 2030 (https://www.pharmacompass.com/patent-expiry-expiration/indom...). That being said, drug patents are complicated, and there might be competitors for this drug.
Perhaps you meant Goliath?

In any case, it kind of is a David vs. Goliath. Cloudflare currently employs ~1800 people and has revenues of under a billion dollars. They don't qualify as a large enterprise by anyone's definition. They aren't a 2-man shop but they are very much a David in the broader market. Amazon is an absolute monstrosity in comparison.

While unlikely, it could've been that the kernel version was too old or you were missing non-free drivers for something?
On my experience, if it worked in Ubuntu, it would work on Debian, and if it didn't, using the latest backported kernel would solve it.
Banggood can be a good place for cheap stuff to use in projects and even get new ideas based on their offerings.

Maybe look for practical projects they find interesting. Maybe building a cheap homebrewers cubesat, then test "launch" it using a weather ballon. If it works and you have a valid scientific mission for it you can get the launch aspect covered under a program/grant. This is something I wanted to do (only up to the test launch since I don't have a meaningful mission).
I'd wager that dept heads and executive yuck-de-yucks by and large only know what they heard from other dept heads and executive yuck-de-yucks, which is that Cloudflare didn't buy into the censorship-by-boardroom-committee plans of the two American political parties over the past few years.
Isn't "reckless disregard for the truth" often applicable in the same sorts of places that "knowingly false" is? If you know your AI makes mistakes like this, wouldn't letting it make accusations without a human checking them be reckless disregard for the truth?
Then, there's this permanent humiliation of feeling like a servant in your home-town, because the local upper class makes very clear to you peons, that you're less important than the tourists, and they also think this very clearly.

We see this happen in the US, too, when a handful of billionaires buy up small town property and turn it into a resort town, driving out the locals. Some of my friends in that situation got "servant" level jobs as teenagers and really think that, somehow, serving the rich for $12/hr will lead to them becoming "one of them."
rust portion. For example, LLVM has no internal concept of ownership.
I want to plug Algolia a little bit. For small teams, the results are truly incredible, and it provides a ton of features out-of-the-box without a lot of development time. I've seen small teams struggle mightily with both ElasticSearch and Solr; things usually start off OK, but results go downhill as the search needs get more complicated (indexing multiple kinds of documents; adding more and more different kinds of data to the index and trying to weight things properly; dealing with tradeoffs such as relevancy vs recency; etc.). In the future I would shy away from such powerful tools unless I knew I had sufficient engineering resources to dedicate to search and my problem was complex enough to merit it.
In some countries there are some private apps for Taxis that work just like Uber. I know of some stories of drivers who were banned after dodgy behaviour, or cancellations.
Regarding 3: "helpful" hallucinations are not that unusual. While most who hallucinate are tormented by demons, some hallucinate neutral observers and a few get a "guardian angel" who sometimes gives useful advice. The subconscious can definitely channel "you left the stove on" into a hallucination that commands the person to go turn off the stove. So transformation of awareness of ill-health into that sort of experience doesn't seem too preposterous.
I really hope this is satire or sarcasm.

> individual teams were expressly forbidden from creating their own templates

When were you at Google? I've been here a lot of years and never ever heard this. My codebase has a fair amount of templated code, including some metaprogramming magic. Nowhere has any tool said "please don't do this", nor do I think it should. Complex template code can be an absolute nightmare to maintain, but there is a group of C++ experts that are available to help if it is indeed the best solution to a problem and you want to devise a maintainable implementation.

The closest in the style guide I can find is "Avoid complicated template programming," which is clarified to include metaprogramming magic. This is very different than what you write and not even "forbidding" it.
Personal anecdote, sure, but: YES.

Back when I was supposed to connect our office to the new parent companies network via IPSec, I spent actual, full days on the phone with both the parent companies IT and our firewall vendor, until eventually we confirmed that some PFS variations are broken in one of the device, but others are not. And it's probably not economically feasible to fix. Debugging that involved going entirely nuts with wireshark, learning the IPSec spec to understand the phases going on, and so on, and so on. It's one of those projects that eventually make me question my very own skills.

With wireguard for our production datacenter site to site connections... it took about 2 days to have a fully automated installation and key management setup in ansible. About half a day was spent figuring out that our cloud provider filtered traffic not coming from the IP of a VM by default. And then everything just worked. And it's an easily extended mesh between datacenters. And wireguard even has usable logging about traffic.

But yes, the lesson is: IPSec without having endpoints from the same vendor with a vendor guarantee they will work together is absolute pain. It either works securely within the first few hours, or probably never. Yes I've been touched in a bad place by IPSec.
What blows my mind is that folk put Cloudflare in front of their AWS stack. Does one really need both?
The business side puts a very high premium on backward compatibility. Until that changes, they need to keep around the cruft / shims / architectural bridges / glue that make that possible. Working with the raw Windows API is already painful enough^; I can't even imagine the effort it would take to reimplement it in Rust.

In what way are you saying we steal from the poor? How does bitcoin steal less?
Cloudflare is still software. We consume these services by writing code after all.

Another example would be postgres. I can rent postgres, including whatever hardware is used to power it, from AWS, GCP or Azure. Or anybody really, like DigitalOcean or Heroku.

My 'postgres' code will run on every vendors service. The same applies to containers.

That is how I understood the comment 'Linux and HTML', something that is standard and universal, that affords portability and let's vendors compete on quality rather than relying on vendor lockin.
I'm sorry I don't understand what you're asking for specifically, the source is the cgroups API. Check the documentation I posted earlier, particularly this line:

"Because the resource control interface files in a given directory control the distribution of the parent’s resources, the delegatee shouldn’t be allowed to write to them."

You could add locking but that would be basically doing what systemd/docker/runc does and adding a new API on top of it which is then available through D-Bus or whatever. The top-level hierarchy is the top of any cgroup tree, if you have two processes writing to that without synchronization then they will potentially stomp over each other's values. You technically can go and run "sudo mkdir" inside your docker's toplevel cgroup but that would probably break things.

"if they have write access to one level above them in the tree. Systemd does not put you in that situation, but it could."

Well it does do that if you turn on delegation by giving you your own sub-tree, it doesn't do it by default because most services are not container managers and don't need an additional sub-tree. If you don't do that then write access is not allowed by the cgroups API, see above. It would not really make sense to allow a child process to say "I am going to take 100% of the cpu controller now and you get none sorry", that would defeat the purpose of cgroups.
I see posts like this a lot, and it makes me wonder what the heck you were using Kafka for that Postgres could handle, yet you had dozens of clusters? I question if you actually ever used Kafka or just operated it? Sure anyone can follow the "build a queue on a database pattern" but it falls over at the throughputs that justify Kafka. If you have a bunch of trivial 10tps workloads, of course a distributed system is overkill.

Postgres has a lot of engineering work put into it to handle all kinds of use cases, plus massive effort by the community building tutorials, videos, wrappers, libraries, etc. If you have a problem with Postgres config, or are trying to get it to do something odd, there is undoubtedly a bunch of Stack Overflow discussions about that thing. For most other databases, the selection of all of those is much thinner.

Additionally, often we believe our application needs feature X, and there is some database tech that purports to excel at X, the fact is postgres is probably able to do X unless you get to some extreme velocity or volume. Furthermore, by going with another database you are almost always giving up on features W, Y, and Z that you don't realize you need that Postgres supports and isn't supported by the "Exotic" database you are thinking of.

In short, Postgres has amazing breadth and depth in features and support and tooling. Be sure you are ok giving that up!
I think this is a very thoughtful long term strategy for a country as big and as globally relevant as china. Looking at the US and the decline of the middle class and the rise of the donor class shows where a country is headed when inequality gets out of hand. Right now the US is arguably not a democracy anymore but an oligarchy - that the Party looks to avoid going down the same road is of course out of self-protection. But it is also the very interest of the hundrets of millions who were left out of the distribution of the dividend of "opening" the economy. So - compared to a descend into a potentially fascist donor-run society it might be a better strategy to simply distribute the wealth more aggressively.
It's not really multiple factors. There was only one. Restrictive zoning. That constrained supply. Everything else is just the various parties fighting over the now-insufficient housing supply.
A semantic pitfall would be something where you think the code means one thing (a patch of grass) but it really means another (you fall into the spikes). =delete is neither; it is not possible to confuse it for operator delete, and I don't see even a hole to get your foot stuck in, let alone any spikes.

The ability to one-shop the whole office experience helped. So you could deal with microsoft for the OS and word.....etc or Microsoft for os and there for your WP and lots of other companies making support a multi number TZ experience compared to a one-stop shop like Microsoft.

This is also around the era of NT4 becoming mature and oh, did they push around that. I recall getting a crazy deal in which was after NT4 server but they had a bundle that was cheaper and you got the whole Backoffice bundle ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_BackOffice_Server )
and of course, helped promote their ecosystem even further.

So many alternative offerings just get pushed out, be it price or the cost of marketing to get new sales being a bridge too far. Many carried on in some form for while with their hard-core loyal users from old but even that didn't sustain them.

I recall also IBM buying one of these word alternatives and trying to create their own bundle offering, but alas that and equally the PC market slipped thru their fingers. In part from their half-cocked push on OS/2, which alas never really got the public traction it could of got and often wonder what could of been upon that.

> I think the thing that made them able to succeed was the experience with Excel and Word for Mac. By writing these, they learned a lot of lessons on how best to allow software to take advantage of a GUI. Then when Windows took off, they could apply these lessons that competitors who had mainly focused on their DOS based user interfaces did not learn.

YES the whole GUI aspect really did help Microsoft push their offerings as they worked, but then they did have inside help as they knew what API's would work (and quirks) and how to use them ahead of others. Equally if they wanted something not available, they had the clout to get it added. This along with GUI's add one heck of overhead upon your application development and was a few gotcha's. I do recall having issues using some OCX(iirc) feature that just would bug badly and retorted to logging a ticket with Microsoft for them to come back and say, we have looked into it and yes it is broken, we will fix it in the new version. Which meant upgrading everything and kinda killed that whole project in the end as was a fair few of those.

Whilst it didn't do heavy development with Windows back then, my experiences sure tainted me and I'm sure those deeper in that trench will have some even uglier battle stories. Maybe why finding out undocumented API's back then was more a thing as many instances of you can't do that but there is an undocumented API that will do that and Microsoft product X,y.Z....all use it to add that feature.

Was interesting times and yet, was enough to put me of doing development upon Windows even to this day as just got burned too many times. SO yes, I can see how things may of played out for those wonderful DOS applications transitioning towards GUI land with Windows.
Here’s another way of looking at it: if you need to use this obscure medicine rather than the alternatives because your condition is comparatively rarer, is it just that you should have to pay through the nose for it?

Take it to the extreme: you have a very, very rare life-threatening illness. Since only 20 or so people a year are diagnosed with this, the drugs to treat it would have to cost 1.5MM just to be decently profitable.

Is that a just healthcare system? A kind of inverted lottery in which the “luckier” you are the more likely to go bankrupt.

One might reasonably conclude that trying to run the entirety of the healthcare system as a capitalist enterprise is perverse and trades the misery of the many for the profit of a few. In such cases, we should rightly consider all possible alternatives.
I'm the first person to complain about bloated electron apps, but this is a task that I do so rarely I really don't mind it's electron.

This is, btw, not really an alternative to etcher, more like an alternative to rufus or unetbootin.

Indeed, the reason they made etcher was because they had too many help requests from hobbyists trying to flash their raspi sd cards. So they made a candy UI, and the requests dropped.

The candy UI is the main goal of etcher, if you remove that, then why not use the already very fine existing solutions?
It all comes to a form of eco-fascism which has a romantic view of being one with nature because they believe it promotes their particular kind of human being over others. They fear civilization because the force multiplier that coordination brings with on top of technological improvements means the oppressed can eventually overcome their oppression even if not intentionally like how capitalist firms becoming more inclusive to grow their consumer demographic. The whole primitivist mystique rebukes this and so this attracts fascists of all kinds.
That is a distraction. People have always cleaned their food before cooking and eating it, we just do that better now.

The idea is that the longer a food is around the more likely it is that any problems with it can be understood and countered. For example, we now understand how and why to prevent pellagra by treating corn with alkali before consumption. The most obvious target of this methodology are recently introduced industrial foods such as white cane sugar, high fructose corn syrup, vegetable oils, and hydrogenated fats. Meat and root vegetables are in turn older and more reliable than the grains you mention.
