The "market" did not want Docker. Docker as a product failed.

There are many reasons why FreeBSD jails count not get out for FreeBSD land, one, very important thing is the Linux community's NIH attitude.
Chrome (not Chromium) has something like 63% global market share. I'm not sure Brave, with its ~1%, is worth talking about unless you're also talking about Vivaldi and Opera and every niche browser that exists.

I first "looked" at BTC @ <$1 and by looked I visited a few websites.

I then looked again at ~$100 and felt that it was too involved with crime for me to be associated in any way with it (I work in Regulated Financial markets and I didn't want to take any career chance I could get accused of money laundering).

At ~$1,000 I actually played with some code in Python to mine BTC but figured I'd need an ASIC rig and didn't bother.

7 December 2020 one of the smartest people I know recommended I read The Bitcoin Standard I think BTC was ~$23,000. I then spent the next year studying it and talking through it with my father (he's a Boomer who favours Real Estate over all other asset classes) as a way to understand it better by discussing it with someone else.

I started buying BTC at about ~$55,000 before the recent crash. I'm fine with the volatility as I have a 10+ year time horizon. I did however start accumulating other cryptos post crash and have been working through portfolio construction based on several themes.

Surprisingly my Boomer father has decided to build his own crypto portfolio through a company based in NYC but the AML KYC hurdles with US based crypto companies (I won't name and shame them) has taken so long that he still hasn't managed to buy anything... which I suppose is a good thing since he missed the recent "crash". However, he's fine with it going to zero (and so am I). I think that unless you're diversified across different asset classes, lived through a total market crash (or two), and can lose the lot, you shouldn't be speculating in crypto.
While I'm thoroughly a Linux person, I agree. I understand why Docker and the Linux container won the day, but the fact that FreeBSD is one system helps a ton with the overall intelligibility of the system inside that container. Oh, this container is Debian based, this is Centos, that one is busybox... No, every jail is just a FreeBSD system you know what you get for its bones. That's really nice.

Considering Tinder rather explicitly checks your location to find people around you? I'd assume it wouldn't work, and might even lead to getting banned faster.
A bit of both. I assume they can spy on the US through 5-eyes, 9-eyes, 27eyes, etc. But to allow Uganda to do it was a bridge too far. If NSO had been in almost any other country there wouldn't be a building left standing. The US regards cyberattacks as an act of war.
Locality is more like it. Valves are what UK people call tubes.
Specialisation requires a stable environment with a low rate of change, generalists are needed when the rate of change is high. I think of myself as a generalist and chose, as commenter "schubb" suggested, an architect career with a focus on organisational transformation which has worked out well so far.

Specialisation can work in many, sometimes perpendicular, dimensions: are you a generalist only as far as technologies are concerned, but have specialised in an organisational skill (eg. project management or engineering leaderhship)? I'm asking because being a generalist in all domains (functional, organisational etc.) feels like stretching out too much.
I beg to differ, given that HP-UX Virtual Vaults were quite alright and precede Jails.

When you say 1 kg you might think of a 1 kg iron weight. That iron is composed of atoms, which are broken down into quarks, which you can think of as vibrating strings. The strings cannot be broken down any further and represent information, so everything is information. So you can think of kilograms as a measure of information, like gigabytes.

A black hole with the mass of the sun has a diameter of about 4 miles. Both matter and light increase the mass of the black hole, they are both information. The surface of the black hole is called its event horizon. So, the event horizon increases in size in proportion to the volume of the information you put into it. If the surface contains all the information then what is the volume made of, you might ask. The answer is the inside does not exist. The surface of the event horizon is two dimensional.

FWIW I don't think that message has anything to do with this outage. I think it's just a coincidence that you got some degraded hosts. They didn't send out emails like that for this AZ outage (nor would I expect them to -- that email is for when host machines die).

For me, I received a cool video on FB Messenger, with a TikTok URL. So I opened it and could just see it without making an account. That felt fresh already.

Then I decided to get the app, and instantly I got a stream of actually interesting content from my region. It made an account for me with user# and I haven’t updated it since (maybe a year ago); no phone number, no e-mail.

In time it sort of adapted to my interests and now I have a constant stream of homesteading, woodworking, computer stuff, booms, women etc. It feels very positive. I don’t even remember ever seeing a divisive video.

At this date, with no affiliation, I feel TikTok has a good algorithm that actually takes into consideration your interests, delivers you fresh stuff and is not boosted with real shit metrics. I use it once or twice per week, but when I do I binge.

I know some people like that and I've had some success encouraging them to take the Novavax vaccine (a traditional vaccine that's said to be safer and cheaper [1]) when it's approved. I can't be sure they will but they've said they'd consider it.

> No point in investing in S3 and then doing it again yourself.

I mean that's just obviously wrong, though.

There is a point.

> Either you don't trust the cloud and you can run NAS or equivalent (with s3 APIs easily today) much cheaper or trust them to keep your data safe and available.

What if you trust the cloud 90%, and you trust yourself 90%, and you think it's likely that the failure cases between the two are likely to be independent? Then it seems like the smart decision would be to do both.

Your position is basically arguing that redundant systems are never necessary, because "either you trust A or you trust B, why do both?" If it's absolutely critical that you don't suffer a particular failure, then having redundant systems is very wise.

What convinced Microsoft was the failure of UWP apps, not Valve.
My current setup at home and work¹ is a ~24" 16:9 1920x1080 but spun to portrait. There are a number of monitors out there that support this, failing that get one with standard vesa fixings and get a stand/arm you can attach it to that way around. These each stand beside a ~32" 16:9 2560x1440 screen².

Sometimes the big landscape screen gets used as just that, sometimes as effectively two portrait screens³⁴. The tall one is very nice for reading documents/mail/HN/… and such, though a little thin occasionally⁵ so 16:10 would be nicer. The main Windows taskbar lives on the tall screen⁶. Not an optimal setup when sat down⁷ I find, but as I stand most of the time and it works really well for me like that, limitations when seated isn't a big issue.

[1] I gave up asking and just brought my own in, along with the standing desk I'd been asking about for years

[2] almost the same dot pitch as the other screen, so no need to faf with scaling to get things to look sufficiently similar on them

[3] when doing that I effectively have three tall thin screens - one at 1080x1920 two at 1280x1440 (about 13:16).

[4] in fact the Samsung one supports pretending to be two monitors that way using two inputs, one for each side, though I use the OS-/app-level positioning instead so I can nudge one side wider in some contexts

[5] some web designs assume you have more than 1080 pixels in width if you have more than 1024, in fact some just assume 1280+ full-stop (less a little in case some uses with 1280 have their taskbars on the side). For instance Google's right bar gets ~⅓ cut off for instance when searching for things that make it appear, and a number of online stores lose current basket information (that they put on a column at on the right) unless I scroll or move to the other screen

[6] top here, bottom at home, the difference due to how the monitor stand heights work out and the limits of my work space at home meaning the two screens line up differently in the two locations

[7] it is hard to find a comfortable position where I'm not craning my neck a little or forcing myself to set _too_ straight up

I don't get author's point -- they say it themselves, "Apple will want to ensure it doesn’t become too capable."

Why would one respect something that is deliberately crippled for no good reason? It is bad for technical users, bad for non-technical users, bad for web developers, bad for businesses..

This is a thing on Windows 10, I was watching a video with my sister on the PC running Windows 10 and all of the sudden, it just rebooted into updating Windows.

One thing is that Windows Home does not have an option to postpone or delay updates, this is only for Windows Pro editions. When there is an update, it will start doing it automatically with a timer and it sometimes does not pop up on top of everything you're doing.

Firecracker beg to differ. I think you can do virtualisation and have all three you listed.
Language is what it is. There's nothing more "wrong" with English than with any other language.

The alternatives are just pipe dreams for the foreseeable future: a sterile engineered language like Esperanto or some other language with with it's own set of trade-offs. Millions of people just aren't going to do the work to learn yet another language unless they have to. If anything, ubiquitous machine translation seems more likely.

However, if you MUST change the lingua franca to your native tongue, there's a simple prescription. Become a global super-power, assert dominance in all things military, political, and cultural. Make other countries your colonies and ruthlessly insinuate yourself into all aspects of their politics and culture. Keep this up for a couple hundred years, and viola, a new lingua franca.

> And then be cracked open

It was not cracked open. Strawman exaggeration for effect is how rhetoric got a bad name.

> Can I get some odds on that please

Yes, it's low. Shall I pull a number out of my ass and say 1 in a trillion?

Now, can I get an estimate on the number of eggs laid in a 100 million year period?

I'll pull another number of my ass and say a population of 10 billion egg-laying creatures, living 10 years, with 10% of eggs making it to adulthood. That's 10 billion eggs per year, I think. Times 100 million years = 1 quintillion eggs that might be fossilized.

Times 1 in a trillion gives 1 million fossilized eggs.

Of which only a small fraction are found.

So your problem with the odds are ... what exactly? That you're not used to thinking about rare events across geologic time?
I believe this may be due to the popular spamming method lately which is tagging people into a Google Docs and share it so everyone receives a notification (the spam message).

> England is a country of a new accent every 40 miles or so

If not less. There's been a fairly large of degree of flattening over recent years, but my grandparents could quite often differentiate between the accents of people who grew up barely more than a couple of miles apart.

One thing that seems to trip up even some native speakers is that the T-V distinction[1] still exists in the Yorkshire dialect in some contexts. I seem to recall a band getting some criticism for lyric that went "I tell thee", which a few people saying it sound sounded phoney or nothing like what a young person would say, and that it was only used to make the rhyme work. It sounded perfectly natural to my Yorkshire ear - it would just a normal dialect use of "thee".

As a Brit who worked in US late 90s-early 00s , some things I noticed: (a) US was 40 hrs/wk, equiv to 3 weeks extra at work per year compared to UK's 37-37.5 standard hrs. (b) Plus sometimes "yeah, I'm also gonna need you to go ahead and come in at the weekend, m'kay", although you can simply refuse. What they gonna do, fire you? Maybe, but maybe not if you got skills and are doing useful work the rest of the time. (c) Compared to UK, in USA people seemed to waste tons of time at work, faffing about, pointless meetings, playing table football, blatantly making personal phone calls e:g to sort out insurance or something, presenteeism, just being there because you're meant to, but too tired to do anything useful, fixing bugs that wouldn't have existed had people gone home at sensible time and not made mistakes under pressure. I got extra holidays by various means including job-hops, 1 was by choice, other the place went bust, took some unpaid leave too. 1 year only had 4 weeks vacation, but quit that job and did long road trip the following year. Many Americans seemed to get their fair share of vacation by job-hopping, contracting, even quitting job to go travelling then call the same employer when they felt like coming back. If you stay in the same job for years your vacation entitlement is rubbish. The problem of course happens if you have a family and need some stability. But I suppose if you're frugal, don't have a huge mortgage, spouse has good skills too, you might both be able to keep job-hopping if that's what it takes to get decent time off. Whole system seems a bit daft to me really.
In most startups? You're mostly correct.

But you still have some risks here, yes, with a super low probability, but a company-killing impact.

In some industries - banking, finance, anything regulated, or really (I'd argue) anywhere where losing all of your data is company killing - you will need a disaster recovery strategy in place.

The risks requiring non-AWS backups are things like:

- A failed payment goes unnoticed and AWS locks us out of your AWS account, which also goes unnoticed and the account and data are deleted

- A bad actor gains access to the root account through faxing Amazon a fake notarized letter, finding a leaked AWS key, social engineering one of your DevOps team, and encrypts all of your data while removing your AWS-based backups

- An internal bad actor deletes all of your AWS data because they know they're about to be fired

...and so on.

There's so many scenarios that aren't technical which can result in a single vendor dependency for your entire business being unwise.

A storage array in a separate DC somewhere where your platform can send (and only send! not access or modify) backups of your business critical data ticks off those super low probability but company-killing impact risks.

This is why risk matrices have separate probability and impact sections. Miniscule probability but "the company directors go to jail" impact? Better believe I'm spending some time on that.

>All of the avenues to contact Instagram are meaningless and don’t lead anywhere.

I feel you. I got permabanned from tinder when I emailed their support asking how the verification process worked with couples. They replied with a ban notice and I was confused, turns out couples profiles are against Tinders T&C. I hadn't actually done ANYTHING to violate their T&C in-app yet, just asking their support about it was enough to ban for life.

To top it off, they embedded a secret key in my iOS keychain that synced across all devices. Even wiping the phone would get new numbers banned on sign in. I ended up having to use a fresh device on a fresh iCloud account on a new number to bypass their ban (I'm a dev with 100+ devices at my disposal and multiple VPS VPNs, good luck Tinder).

Tinder can go fuck itself, but they have an absolute monopoly in my area/demographic so I have to put up with them.
