This seems absurd to me, yeah ok the SSD failing could be indicative of a bigger issue. But also now if any single component required to boot the machine fails then I also lose my data.

We've turned several potential failure points resulting in data loss into almost every component on the board failing resulting in data loss.

We all know how much they charge for a full board replacement though and why this change will reflect well in Tim Cook's charts.
Hi there!
As I read this I wanted immediately to check it up and sign up right away since my ccard pro plan happens to expire tomorrow.
Then the price...
It would be great to get some kind of very basic plan. I really only need a single page but it was pretty ridiculous in the end to get my website to look ALMOST (I wasn't able to get it to do what I wanted and in the end I wondered if I could not have fought with the html/css myself (I don't do any of this anymore but used to)) like I wanted it to look.
Ccars is 20 for a year. I would be willing to pay 3 times more, let's say. But 20/year vs 144/y is quite a difference :/
I will surely save this and pass it on though. Hell, even use it for my dad's website for example :)
Cheers!
It's awesome that you have such concrete dreams. Please don't wait until you're rich to pursue them, especially dropping weight and becoming healthier. That's one of the best things you can do for yourself in life.

I was a fat kid who managed to lose the weight around ~16 and kept it off till my 30s. I'm 36 now and independently wealthy - much chubbier now than in my 20s. I can tell you that money and lack of worries doesn't make finding the motivation to see a large weight loss through any easier. I go through periods of working out/playing sports for 3-4 hours a day, but if you like eating, it's easy to super compensate and continue to put on weight. I always seem to manage eating one more croissant.

You don't have to do it all at once to become healthier either. any year where you trend downward, even by half a pound, is an improvement. It doesn't have to be all or nothing. Again, easier said than done, but you don't have to be comprehensive - just 1% better every day.

Happy to chat with you about weight loss and health if it would be helpful: zemvpferreira @ the old gmail.

Where there is software, there are bugs.

It's not defeatist, it's reality.

You can test, but testing does not prove an absence of bugs. It just means your tests did not reveal any. Maybe your testing is flawed, incomplete, inappropriate, biased etc.

Just saying for devs to "not write bugs" is pretty naive. Almost like saying "don't have car accidents". We don't want to have them, yet here we are. In complex environments, things happens that are sometimes outside our immediate control.
dnf tab completion is horribly slow on both RHEL and Fedora. I don't know why this is still a thing, but it has been always bad since the yum days in RHEL 5 or 6.
I honestly had not thought of that before. But that would make a lot of sense!
That looks very nice, before you had to flash the bios yourself, I never heard of it. I just got lazy and never flashed the bios, I'll set time to use this. Makes the battery replacement much less painful, thank you!
One of the biggest issues ruby faces is performance. The productivity of the language is undeniable. That is a big reason start-ups so often choose ruby. Eventually Salesforce or Microsoft acquires these ruby start-ups though that the apps run up against enterprise managers who have traditional baroque "cost optimization" incentives. Very few people, especially managers, are comfortable making the argument that paying for more machines is better than paying for more cheaper devs so you see these successful apps rewritten in java, C#, etc. Someone shows execs a chart with costs per user plummeting (usually with a deceptive Y axis), everyone pats each other on the back, and then they lament not being able to find ruby devs when they acquire the next company. I'm hopeful that ruby can close the perf gap enough to slow/stop this weird cycle.
I find that surprising. When I'm doing embedded work, explicit linked lists are common. Usually in C, sometimes in assembly language. sometimes even electronics on an FPGA. In many of my projects, rustling up a specialised list or tree based data structure comes up as a side effect of optimising performance, which is often required on smaller devices.
No, not really different companies can pay different rates for a verity of reasons.

As a hiring manager you have bands you need to hit, you may argue for an exception but in most cases when people get more they still don’t fall under an exception but rather towards the top percentiles of their band.

If someone asks for more than what you are willing or able to pay there is usually little you can do about it, if it’s a recurring issue then it signals that a calibration is in order.

Someone showing me that they can get a higher offer won’t change those facts and won’t really change what I think they are worth if anything it may put them at a weaker position because it signals there is a reason they didn’t took the other offer.

And it doesn’t matter where you are hiring unless it’s a single or low double digit employee startup where you seeding you upper management and technology leadership you’ll be bound by the corporate machine.

And I also disagree on some other points raised here the salary is by far the easiest to adjust bonuses and general working conditions are all bound by a much wider policy and in many cases have to be transparent due to legislation.

So I can’t offer someone a higher bonus than what their grade allows when the company bonus plan is public and I can’t change their working hours or location when the policy is also set by HR and has to apply to everyone equally if not plenty of disputes may arise on dismissal or redundancy.

So from my own experience as being hired and hiring just ask for as much as you can get, if there are other reasons to take the position other than compensation the by all means do w/e you want but setting your base pay as high as possible should be your main goal because everything else form pension and other benefits to your yearly bonus are usually calculated as a % of your pay as well as any future pay raises and COL adjustments.
A container must cost at least a couple thousand dollars... a ship carries, what, 1000 or so? That's roughly 2 million dollars being "thrown away". Maybe they can build them for half that in China? I suppose if the turnaround time is in months, this makes sense. Someone will make a tidy profit returning the containers at some point (although I have no idea what their lifecycle is like).
I've not yet, but root inside the container is the user docker is running as outside, so I assume if that user can access the share it would be ok.

What protocol were you thinking of?
If the show was called "Empire" and hadn't been hyped as an adaptation, but as inspired by SciFi classics, I would have no trouble with it, even if it wasn't as compelling. I'd even be happy to find references here and there.

Naming and marketing as Foundation is like pretending the I Robot movie was an honest adaptation of Asimov's I Robot. Foundation started well, but it's becoming a standard space opera template with Asimovian names.

Asimov wasn't the greatest writer, but he had innovative ideas and central themes that should be the core of any adaptation.
I don't care. IMO you are a tribal fashion victim, engaging in cargo cultist rituals, and feeling empowered by them.
While that may be funny to watch for some time, stuff like that belongs into theme parks, or similar reservations.

Take care.

As a future version of RHEL, CentOS Stream is bound by the RHEL Application Compatibility Guidelines and kABI stablelist. I'll say it again:

CentOS Stream is bound by the RHEL Application Compatibility Guidelines and kABI stablelist.

All packages that exist in Stream repos have passed the same internal gating test suites that RHEL has.

I'm sorry if this comes off as rough but it is very annoying seeing this "ABI incompatibility" statement be thrown around constantly without people fully understanding what it actually means in the context of RHEL. It is _not_ an all-encompassing policy that applies to the every part of the distribution the same like it would be implied for a library strictly following semver. There are levels and nuance, and some packages don't even make the list (which is why there are packages without a -devel subpackage).

It is okay to say that Stream may not be bug-for-bug identical to released versions of RHEL, but it will be ABI compatible.

Rental law is not so hard that an intelligent landlord can't learn the basics and be in a good situation. Oppositely, a small grifter doesn't need a lawyer to walk over an dumb landlord. Since the grifter has done their thing for a while, the know the ropes and the law (where assigned council is just public defender who's job about it about ordinary defense and not outrageous claims).

I'm not terribly sympathetic to landlord in this situation. As far as I can tell, it's the greedy, lazy landlords that get taken by these people - if you follow the letter of the law, keep your premises in good shape and document everything, it's pretty hard to be taken. Oppositely, a lot of landlords skirt the law on a regular basis.
seems like the Achilles heel is that it pushes light away from the center, rather than wrapping it around and bringing it back together. with a pair of lenticular lenses, optically connected together, could you reverse the distortion and show what's actually behind you?
To be completely honest, I don't really know what people mean when they talk about a "metaverse".

But if I had to define it one way or the other, I feel like I already have, and interact with, a sort of metaverse. I play various video games with various people, talking and interacting with friends for these games on Discord, interacting with the larger community of these games on Discord/Reddit, engaging with influencer communities on Twitch/Youtube, and follow game news on Reddit/Twitter/Youtube/Forums.

In the same vein, I've learned a tremendous amount about computer science, software engineering, job hunting, smaller hobbies, and plenty of other various things through the same set of things that make up my gaming metaverse (Forums/Discord/Youtube/Reddit/HackerNews/etc). It doesn't overlap with the same people I interact with for gaming, but I wouldn't expect the people to overlap much. The platforms are still the same.

And it doesn't really stop there, these are just the two big things I can think of.

So I guess I'm asking, what is the "Metaverse" trying to do? Take what we currently already have, but make it more cohesive? The only other thing I can think of would be a full-dive VR world experience, but I'm fairly sure we aren't even close to that.
Nuclear reactions were first mastered in Illinois, but arguably Idaho gets credit for the first generation of electricity via nuclear reactor with the 100kW EBR-1 in 1951. Credit for the first grid-tied nuclear power plant goes to the Soviets, with the commissioning of the the Obninsk Nuclear Power Plant in 1954. Curiously the latter produced a miniscule amount of power by modern standards, with a mere 5MW of nameplate capacity.
I 100% agree that software engineers are not special. But they are specialized. And getting to that point of specialization takes a combination of inclination, opportunity and, yes, some aptitude that not everyone has. My wife is brilliant at her job. She used to be a passable software engineer and hated it. Now she does something equally lucrative and competitive and is much better at it than I could ever be.
Binaries are build with https://github.com/motor-admin/ruby-packer - they do not require docker - this repo contains all instructions in order to pack a binary.
It's not an accounting trick; it's historically low rates. At the beginning of 2021 would you rather have paid 350k cash for a house or taken a 30 year mortgage and invested the remaining 80% (after a 20% down payment) into the sp500? Your house might be up around 10-25% depending on the market making your 20% stake worth more. and your 280k cost-basis that you invested would be worth 350k. You'd have already earned your down payment back before the end of the year.

If you think the return of your investments will >= 3% mortgage rates then you're losing money by not taking on debt (albeit with a bit of risk).
> most rental real estate are tiny, unprofessional operations

The proportion of rental units owned by individuals used to be a large majority, but has been falling and recently dipped under 50%. As of the 2018 Rental Housing Finance Survey [1], there were 48 million rental units in the United States, with ownership breaking down as:

41% individual
37% LLP, LP, or LLC
3% real estate corporation
3% nonprofit organization
2% general partnership
2% trustee for estate
2% real estate investment trust (REIT)
10% other or unreported

The number DIY managed by the owner or owner's family/associates is similarly down, to 42%, with 54% of units now professionally managed (4% other/unknown).

I don't have numbers, but I'd imagine it looks even more skewed in the direction of professional landlords if you looked at major cities.

I've proudly managed to avoid Borgmon in favor of Monarch. Which was new at the time, but worked all right even back then. I have a lot fewer gray hairs because of that. They should have kept and rigidly enforced the Borgmon readability requirement to force people to migrate off that convoluted, idiosyncratic piece of shit.
Steam is proprietary. Proprietary bad. Open source good. As a Linux user, I want everything for free. If I can get away with not paying for something, I will. Luckily, it's easy to pirate most games on Steam. Don't pay for ones and zeros, folks!

> Not only is it more than just doing things in VR, a metaverse doesn't even require VR.

It does not matter because for the public and the media Zuckerberg is redefining the meaning of the word right in front of our eyes. Give it a few years and everybody will believe VR is an inherent feature of metaverse. Just like those of us who had been using the word "crypto" to mean "cryptography" for decades were trying to explain in vain what the word originally mean - but it made no sense as the new meaning was already popularized.
That's a great article and spot on.

And it's definitely complicated. Just because work necessary to preserve human life is allowed doesn't mean anything done in a hospital is therefore permitted -- a sizeable fraction of the work in a hospital is about bookkeeping, billing, insurance, scheduling followups, paperwork, etc which can wait a day or two without anyone dying.
I've been using this for more than a year now, it's amazing!

Self-service approvals.

Instead of appointing a senior eng to be approver, task the same senior eng with writing down his decision criteria (as text or where it makes sense even as code).

This has advantages for everyone:

1. It lets the engineers who need approval move at their own speed, and plan time for it as a predictable work item like any other, instead of depending on an approver for whom the approvals will usually be at a lower priority and mid-sprint.

2. For the approval policy writer, it turns this into a one time effort with a defined scope that can be planned and prioritized in his/her own backlog, instead of open ended toil that can come at any time, take any time, and not clearly relate to their own current priorities.

3. For the company, writing down the policy brings consistent decision making.

Obviously this requires trust that employees can and will say "no, can't do" when they're tasked with something that is not approvable, which can be culturally difficult (business and otherwise). Checklists (literally a list of checkboxes to click on, "I confirm that...") can help with this.

(As an example of writing down the policy as code: that's any CI/CD pipeline. But it's not limited to engineering decision making - for example, we're using a well-known open source license management tool that promises auto-approval for open source library use depending on policies configured by legal. This works moderately not so well because this particular tool is not great; the idea is sound. We still made it work: now legal wrote down their policies, trained a large number of engineers on them and those are now empowered to make decisions.)
did someone in the FDA disclose the whistleblower's identity to Ventavia? or did they figure it out on their own? retaliation either way, but I didn't see any evidence of conspiracy in the article.
That's simply not true.

Houses have labour and material components. The materials have a labour component too. It's now more expensive to build a house (per square foot) than it was 30 years ago because of wage inflation.

This is one reason why real estate is viewed as a good hedge against inflation.

That's not really how architecture works. There is a client supplied budget and site that multiple architecture firms submit proposals for. Suggesting a needlessly large and expensive building will do nothing but leave you without any work.
There's no evidence, at least as far as I am aware, for that proposition outside of fear-inducing lessons. It takes a lot of mental effort to unlearn "all snakes are dangerous" and not nearly as much effort to unlearn "giraffe necks got longer due to inherited individual adaptation."
Ah yeah, luckily the X230T I will mostly only use plugged in. I do agree, the energy efficiency (and battery cost) is one criticism of mine. That said, I'm not too worried about WLAN allowlist since I can supposedly remove that with 1vyrain (same with battery allowlist), if I even cared about it. Same with displays, the TN in the X230 is pretty sub-par but totally fine for me. Yeah, for now stuff is pretty easily available here, but I wonder how long that will last. Lots of people selling these machines for parts, so I can totally hoard some extra stuff if I want to... haha

> I'm more amused that you think southern England is the posh part :-)

Isn't that the stereotype? I thought London area is considered pretty posh. At least that is what I am getting from most popular culture. Of course both dimensions, class and location are partly independent but there is some overlap.

For example, this classic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-BVgPeZR-Y (Posh family reacts to northern nanny | The Catherine Tate Show)

> Though on a more serious note, we use shorter vowel sounds in the north (in the north we say 'bath', southerners say 'baarth') which can make us harder to understand to those whom English isn't a first language.

Who said anything about aiding exploration? Some of us want space probes that look like kangaroos. Why should a space probe look like not-a-kangaroo?

But anyway a cave is likely to have a floor far too uneven for wheels. Another plausible configuration would be a crab or daddy-long-legs. Operating in the dark, a plutonium RTG radiating heat would seem to threaten to damage the contents of the cave we came to look at. Maybe it sets out solar panels, and reels out a wire as it goes into the dark. And perforce sleeps for two weeks out of each month.
This article aside, it isn't. This idea stems from Cartesian methodological doubt which is the death knell for all knowledge. Methodological doubt is irrational. It is not rational to doubt things for no reason. You must have a reason for doubting something just as you must have a reason for believing something. Irrational doubt cannot be overcome through reason precisely because its genesis is not in the intellect, but in the will. It is arbitrarily assigned to something and so you cannot rationally resolve the cause of the doubt one way or another because there is no rational cause to resolve.

Rational doubt is the result of coming to know something credible that contradicts or undermines something you take to be true. This casts doubt on your prior belief. To resolve it, you must verify your prior belief and/or the new information.
A lot of it feels like premature optimization. Like I'm laying down a heavy infrastructure to support change but it's already locking me into certain ways of looking at problems.
I've seen this argument touted frequently in housing related threads and it always confuses me. Housing prices have soared over the majority of the developed world - dozens of countries[1]. Is NYMBYism and prop13 driving the housing crisis in Luxembourg? Chile? Estonia? Do you think the entire world property market, taxation and legislation is structured exactly like in the California bay area?
The whole "just zone more high rises" argument is so obviously reductive, I can't help but think it's pushed primarily by property developers and speculators.

Housing prices continuously rising to slurp up any marginal income has been studied by economists for a couple of centuries (rent extraction), and taxation solutions such as a Land Value Tax were suggested by Adam Smith himself.
