Trying to remember what I researched 6 months ago.

1. You don't want to use AIO on Linux because "the driver’s AIO implementation is a compatibility shim that just barely passes the POSIX standard"[0] and is bad for performance, at least in database-like applications that have an alternate threaded sync implementation.

2. You probably don't want to use O_DIRECT since it's currently implemented using a shim on top of AIO[1].

3. `primarycache=metadata` + fsync + sync I/O works just fine for databases unless you have a very fast SSD array[2] in which case you'll have to wait for real O_DIRECT support[3].

It's true that this can still not go the way Valve wants, but it's like counting on me to do a standing double frontflip because it's not strictly impossible. The only thing in the way of near-100% compatibility is anticheat, and EAC and Battleye both plan on supporting WINE/Proton when Valve releases their hardware. EAC has actually supported WINE for a while now with a little legwork on the part of the developer, so it's not even a question of whether or not it's technically feasible.

Once Valve achieves near-perfect compatibility, Microsoft can't change legendarily backward-compatible APIs for the sake of pissing in Valve's cornflakes. This doesn't mean that there will be a large Linux gaming market share now or in the future, but it does mean that Valve has an option if Windows starts to threaten their cut.
Saying you're a bad entrepreneur because OP isn't listening to the market is too harsh. Yes, OP does need to build products that already have a demand.

But, that's more of a lesson than a sign they're doomed as a "bad Entr" and should give up.

Having the energy to build something instead of just talking about it shows potential. Just start building with the market in mind first.

OP, I'd recommend some books from bootstrapped entrs to avoid making common mistakes in the future, since this is a pretty common one. Makebook.io and Zero to Sold are great, good luck on your journey. I believe you can do it!
Honestly, I’m fine with my kid’s dance or history or whatever teacher not being able to pass that seeing as how the test was given blind and in a high-pressure environment.

The judgement seems pretty clear that the province was not able to demonstrate that teacher math scores produce significantly better student scores - any correlation was weak at best. It appears that pedagogy skills are far more important than being able to ace a standardized test. If there had been a demonstration otherwise my option would be different.

To be clear, teachers who teach subject X should know enough to teach it (once given sufficient prep time), but I don’t care if they know subject Y, or if they lock up when given a standardized test.

Maybe I’m just a bit more sympathetic than normal here since I always did poorly on big high-pressure math tests (but could do non-test-based content with flying colors).

> There are good reasons people choose not to use Linux and it is annoying that the community continues to tell itself variations of this kind of thing so it doesn't have to face that fact.

This is true, but I think it's actually irrelevant to the point GP is making. Even if Linux had absolutely no downside for any user in this community, and every person who would want to use it switched to it, Windows is so ubiquitous and does a good enough job that I doubt the given 1% number would raise more than a few percentage points.
For a test called "Math proficiency test" that sounds about right.

Retool's ‘Risky’ Fundraising Approach on the Way to a $1.9B Valuation
This is such a huge and rich subculture that is like 90s hacking all over again. When I showed someone my rig with the qubit fractal sequencer, the makenoise Maths function generator, and the mordax oscilloscope module among others, they asked how I made music with them, and I was like, "Music?"

The oscilloscope made the difference with the Maths, as matching the sound change to the x/y on the scope made more sense, and now I'm using it to sculpt drum sounds, but may see if I can use it to learn glitching circuits for key extraction as well. Discovering eurorack after spending a few years in classical lessons is like recreational math meets some kind of cyberpunk gematria. Highly recommend.
The school system is one place everyone goes through. It's a single point.

What are the most common jobs people have coming out the other side? According to the US Bureau of Labor (sorry I couldn't find the Canadian equivalent so this was the next closest)... the most popular jobs are retail salesperson, fast food and counter workers, cashiers, home health and personal care aides, RNs, customer service rep, laborers/freight/stock/material movers, office clerks, general and ops managers, stockers and order fillers.

A majority of these folks don't need to do STEM related things daily (if ever). They do need to deal with things around their homes.

These are jobs we all need in our society. Just like we need plumbers, electricians, carpenters, and other skilled trades. You can't outsource those over seas.

For school to be useful and beneficial to the masses in most jobs... what school education should they have?

I realize I'm not part of these groups. I know a lot of people who are. Their lives, over the long term, needs to be considered. I'm a STEM person but I realize it's not useful for everyone.

There is a unclear reference to Intel in the article. Was Intel working with NSO?

My org received one of these emails. I was the engineer pinged on the support ticket.

This request is neither threatening nor burdensome. This is a pretty standard run-of-the-mill GDPR request. We get them all the time.

It took less than 60 seconds of my time to provide our support team with the information they needed to respond to the request. In fact, we already have a canned response to these requests - the person on the support team is a new hire and was unaware.

If your org has users/customers in the EU, you need to have a GDPR playbook. Your support team needs to be briefed on these requests and how they should respond.

I have a difficult time believing that any "controller" complaining about this is properly prepared to respond to GDPR access requests.... Which is kind of the whole point of the study, no?
The state of Israel is already one of the most prolific arms dealers in the world. Something like 10% of weapons (everything from rifles and ammo to tanks and precision guided missiles) sold every year globally are made in Israel. They will sell to anyone (through intermediaries if the political optics don’t align), and have ample opportunity to combat test weapons thanks to the low-grade civil war they’ve been waging against the Arabs for the last 70 years.

They won’t want to be seen as reining in Israeli military overreach because there’s a feeder pipeline from the Israeli military into both politics and the weapons industry. It’s the same people running the country that are selling these weapons.
Way back when OpenSolaris was around, I put it on a server to experiment with. There was a lot to like about it, but one thing I didn't like was there was a lot of obvious cruft that has built up over the years. Things were in places that I didn't expect, but they had been there since 1904 when people wrote C with a quill pen, so SUN couldn't just move it around, because it would break MasterCard or something.

The base FreeBSD system is well thought out, and because it had the ability to, it coalesced into a very coherent system. Man pages are great, everything is where it should be.
AWS has had at least one documented incident where a region had an S3 failure that was not recoverable. They lost about 2% of all data. That might not sound like much but if you have a lot of data, partial restoration of that data doesn't necessarily leave your system in a functional state. If it loses my compiled CSS files I might be able to redeploy my app to fix it. Then again if I'm a SaaS company and that file was generated in part from user input, it might be more difficult to reconstruct that data.
Yes, this is the big one. Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo have dedicated integration teams just for getting your specific game working on their platform. They might even release updates to their platforms to cater to what you want to do

I was about to say the same. iocage is now the default jails wrapper on FreeNAS, which means that there is good documentation and support. The previous jails wrapper used by FreeNAS was not very well documented, but was written by some smart folks.

One thing I like about iocage is how easy it is to grant the jail access to the host ZFS datasets.

On a Jails note, I have had issues creating a jail that can do network inspection. I believe this is an issue with network restrictions of the jails subsystem itself. Eg, I could never run nmap or get mac addresses of remote hosts from within a jail.
Why? Because we value an educated populace where people have an understanding how the world works. You do not need to look any further than people who deny climate change, vaccine conspiracists, flat earthers, 5G hysterians, pseudoscientific con people and so forth to get at the root cause of the problem which is a lack of education. Learning science is at the bedrock of critical thinking, reasoning and rationalizing and enables people to actually apply the scientific method.

Two things can be true at the sand time. Putting an emphasis on proper STEM education doesn’t mean you skimp over vocational skills. People absolutely need to learn how to participate in society, whether it’s interpersonal skills, how their government works, world history or how to advance in their lives. But these are not necessarily universal skills: move from one country to another and all your knowledge about filing taxes with your government may become irrelevant.
The Mega Drive / Genesis was release to the NA market in 1989, a couple of years before the SNES. So for a time, it was competing with the NES.

Trig is useful to at least know the unit circle for sin/cos/tan: http://crystalclearmaths.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Unit... (Amusingly I had to learn about this outside of class, but it carried me through)

Trig isn't so useful if you can measure everything, & I've made the mistake of using trig to skip measuring only to find that nothing's built straight. But it helps to ball park

Once was sitting on the edge of a river with my father & he raised the question of how wide the river was. A quick estimate was possible: stand straight across from a landmark point, then measure walking along the river for some distance. Measure the angle towards that previous landmark. Multiply traveled length by tan(angle). A particularly nice angle is 45 degrees, which requires very little math since tan(45) = 1 & 45 is an easy angle to eye ball

The question is, should they be teachers given their inabilities? Should the blind be tour guides? Both are possible, but better solutions exist.

That's an interesting idea and it correlates with the idea of "the right to access the internet".

Well though I somewhat agree, a lot of kids do not have parents who care or know better and may be on poor diets that cause obesity. Also some kids just don’t have the genetics. The grades should be based on effort applied at whatever skill level those kids are at. How do you grade effort? I don’t know but expecting a kid who comes in 100lbs heavier then other kids and expect him to run the same pace as some hyperactive kid really isn’t fair.

Less snarky though; the phrase "forever" still implies a long horizon of exponential growth. The reality is that exponential spread of disease rapidly drops down much earlier than most people assume. Far far below 100% of the population.
The state is the number one influencer of the quality of the schooling systems; one of the measures is to hire qualified teachers, for example by testing them as part of the selection process. But any testing that makes someone fail is unconstitutional, it seems, so they should hire anyone with no criteria.

I remember “factorization” not clicking for me for the longest time in public school. My grades slowly got worse, until the right teacher came along and explained it in a way that clicked. I proceeded to have a successful math focused education in high school and university.

I wonder if part of it is that kids are at the mercy of what their teachers want to teach / the curriculum. I think kids often know which things they struggle with… they need help articulating it, and then someone to work with them through it.

Most people using AWS aren't using multi-region, as evidenced by the wide array of problems on the internet when a region goes down.

I would also argue many aren't even using multiple availability zones, as evidenced by the wide array of problems on the internet when a single AZ goes down.

I think you're vastly over-estimating how most companies are using AWS, and are substituting your own requirements for theirs.

Which is very common in tech. It's part of why people shit on cloud, microservices, and other techniques large mega-corps use on HN. People write posts with lots of assumptions and few details, then people that don't know any better just carbon copy it because hey its what Google does. Meanwhile their lambda microservice system serving a blazing 60 requests per minute has more downtime than if I just hosted it on my laptop with my dialup internet connection.

I'm using a 43" LG monitor and it works pretty well, though I do find that something in-between 28" and 43" would have been better, but most of the wider ones are ultrawide rather than 16:9. I also have a 28" 4k and it's weird that using the middle 28" of the 43" in 2560x1440 with huge black matte feels so much more spacious.

For pairing it's hard to find the right window/font size as it's typically displays as 27" for the other person. Zoom/meet's are pretty good though, can clearly see faces and what's presented.

> As we should know as engineers, averages are a pretty garbage measure if that's all you have.

But aren't they better than no measure? Would you support measurement with a higher degree of statistical fidelity with variances, distributions, and racial breakdowns?

For most teachers and institutions (including Harvard), the answer to that latter question is "no", because it shines a huge light on institutional incompetence and failed promises around how increased funding and hiring should lead to superior outcomes.
> You need multiple physical links in running to different ISPs because builders working on properties further down the street could accidentally cut through your fibre.

At my last job we provided redundant paths (including entry to your building) as an add-on service. So you might not need two ISPs if you're only worried about fiber cuts. You could still be worried about things like "we think all Juniper routers in the world will die at the exact same instant", in which case you need to make sure you pick an ISP that uses Cisco equipment. And of course, it's possible that your ISP pushes a bad route and breaks the entirety of their link to the rest of the Internet.
