It was the 1991 Cavallo Plan in Argentina that tied the local currency to the U.S. dollar:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convertibility_plan

The Real Plan in Brazil created a three month period with a combination of the old currency (Cruzeiros Novos) and a new virtual one (URV - Unidade Real de Valor) with an official daily exchange rate between them. This rate was selected to keep the URV at almost exactly 1 U.S. dollar but when both were replaced by a new actual currency (the Real), that was officially allowed to float relative to the dollar.

The real did initially get slightly valued relative to the dollar (an exchange rate of 1 R$ = 0.85 US$, for example) but floated slightly up and down until the end of 1998 when it suddenly jumped to 2 R$ = 1 US$ in order to block a huge wave of speculative money that was destroying economies around the world (having previously hit Russia, then the Asian Tigers).
So far every metaverse project I've seen has zero idea what they are going for. I don't even get Facebook's concept.

Meanwhile we have things like Second Life or even WoW that serve a perfect example for a metaverse already and for years.

At this point nobody really seems to know what a metaverse is. Especially not journalists
Auditd_2.8-amd64.deb is 194kb on debian, rsyslog_8.32-amd64 is 411kb, and they both support centralized auditing and log collection from multiple hosts.
The last time I looked at this sort of thing it was claimed that a Chinese phone manufacturer had spying and censorship functionality on a phone that turned out to be part of its ad network. Specifically the phone manufacturer had an ad network that ran inside of certain applications on the phone that they sold access to and they didn't know server-side what an affiliates advertisement was going to be, so they implemented client-side filtering of the advertisements to prevent things like porn adverts and so forth.

Looking through this list, I'm fairly certain that this is something like that because it also includes a bunch of Chinese government entity names that clearly would not be censored in China and also includes a lot of terms relating to pornography.

So the round about point is "88 event" likely refers to a specific string in an advertisment that was once loaded by an affiliate and found to be undesirable for one reason or another and not any sort of specifically political event or similar.

In my experience Pet servers are a good starting point (you really should _graduate_ from Pet servers into all the various immutable/cattle stuff), but it can quickly require discipline from the Admins.

They can't be doing one-off undocumented config, package, and network/firewall changes which make it impossible to setup another server reliably. At $company I moved us to Terraform+Packer (to get them used to immutable deploys, but still just an EC2 instance) then Pulumi+Docker+Fargate so we could fix our deployment velocity. The CTO was constantly afraid everything would break; mostly cause it actually would break all the time. Now basically anyone can deploy even if they're not a SysAdmin.

That's not to say you can't automate a Pet Server, but it's a lot more likely for someone to "just once" make some changes and now you don't trust your automation. In our case we had SaltStack and we were blocked by the CTO from running it unless it was off-hours/weekend.
Who wants to be in that facebook metaverse anyway? The fact that they could not evey make it look attractive in the video is telling. I almost wish magic leap back.

Honestly after discovering NixOS I have a new found joy of administering Linux servers. It's easy and painless, everything is declarative and versioned, and new machines can be set up for new projects or scaling in a matter of minutes.

This "cattle not pets" mentality doesn't make sense for everything and is highly inefficient if the OS itself seamlessly supports immutable workloads and configuration.

None of the BSDs use bash in their base. Apple recently switched from bash to zsh. OpenBSD uses a descendent of pdksh.

Another major user of a pdksh descendent is Android (mksh), with a truly massive install base.

Some of the bash problem, besides portability, is GPLv3. That was a major factor for Apple. I don't want my script portability linked to corporate patent issues. For this and other reasons, I don't use bash-specific features, ever.
Here's my argument in favor of the system working well:

The quality of life for 99.99% of the population has increased more in the last 100 years than it did in the first 10,000 years of the human civilization. For a graphic example consider Charles Dickens *, he documented how people lived in the 19th century and it reads absolutely horrifying and unthinkable today.

Yes the rich are getting richer faster than the poor are improving their lot. However the poor's quality of life went up tremendously - housing, sanitation, hygiene, calories/nutrients, medical care, workplace safety, transportation, life expectancy, education, you name it. There is simply more wealth to go around today. Is the wealth distribution just? We can debate that **. Is the capitalist system improving lives across the board? Most certainly yes.

* or Friedrich Engels

** personally I would avoid this frame completely, but hey
> we don't have the capacity to handle a sustained 15% increase in ICU use.

100 - 15 is 85.

There's 85% left to handle it.

Where is this 85% going and why is it less of a concern in flattening the curve?

why is no one concerned about this 85% of non-covid ICU patients??

Seems to me covid is a small fraction of ICU cases.

Seems to me maybe the ICU should work on handling its caseload..

Seems to me maybe there's systemic problems like the AMA limiting the number of health professionals to keep the salaries up and firing the ones who have natural immunity.

Maybe that's why the curve can't get flattened.

but one thing that is crystal clear from the data is that covid is not the primary cause of hospital overflow.
Metaverse is just strapping a screen to your face
+1. I'd also add that gVisor's slightly limited compatibility is a security feature. Like there is no need for obscure functionality which most production apps rarely use.
You're right, many secure apps don't go far enough in blocking Android releases that are probably too old & vulnerable. Not all apps are perfect, but blocking rooted and ancient devices is a start.
Sorry to hear about this Manish. I've been using DGraph for years and I can say that it's an excellent database with great people working on it.

If everyone is discussing a problem that you don’t see, then why offer your simple solution except to appear smart? And who needs to appear smart? That’s your insecurity. Not mine.
There's definitely a balance to be had... Kids don't generally have those rights because they have far too little life experience to judge the effects of associating with people. Adults have seen the life paths of those around them and observed where certain directions can lead. So, parents look out for their kids. Sometimes the parents just have poor judgement, heh
I really wish the idea of a metaverse hadn't been coopted by the crypto community to sell tokens and NFTs. The author mentions crypto a few times, which is clearly coloring their opinion.

I always envisioned the metaverse as a large scale virtual world accessed largely through VR/AR devices, which is a vision that existed long before crypto was popularized.
Eh? Muting words works just fine ?
Not believing everything you read that causes searching for additional credible sources for corroboration should be the healthy approach. It's quite disengenious to assume the original poster immediately jumped to any conclusion without additional research and landing that it was fake.

> Even if microkerenel design has some impossible to overcome performance limitations

It doesn't. There's no inherent hit on microkernel performance. What exists are limitations of hardware that wasn't designed for it, and a complete lack of interest on creating hardware optimized for them.
Install a WSL machine. Install docker (or containerd, or whatever) in it. Install docker-cli on your host, then use `docker context` to use the server in WSL. 20min of effort if your Google fu is good.

If you need something like the docker desktop UI, check out portainer.
I agree completely with this.
That's missing the point.

Some server I know don't have vim. Traefik docker image is running ash and not bash. Tomcat image hasn't vim. Etc. /bin/sh is there. No worry about assumptions. No bashism, no fish, no zsh.
And then get screwed with lawsuit costs and payouts. But that's a can they can kick down the road.

Terror is historically the name of a form of draconic government. Your definition is prescriptive and the way I understand it you changed a perceived thread into an intended thread.

I'd argue that an act of desperation is rather aimless, frustation rather apolitical and anger not even well defined and well unintentional. You'd have to assume that a riot is concerted or agitated and that rioters were used, by a government against civilians. That's a real possibility, but it would also include kinda civil wars.

The current understanding as formed by extensive definitions does not capture mass hysteria though. It's simply terrible, a real riot.
Nobody in this whole post is talking about loosely coupled code. If you find someone complaining about how hard it is to modify loosely coupled code, you have my permission to fire them.

Also, the number of lines of kernel code being executed is not a valid metric without comparing how much of those code flow can the user control. In gVisor, this is mostly limited to what the go runtime can call. There is very little direct control over these syscalls.
Exactly.

After the November 2020 release of the M1 Macs, Docker and many developer tools were still not available and you would have to wait 6 - 8 months for Docker to be fully supported and out of beta for M1 Macs.

Not quite ideal to wait for your tools to be available on your machine for more months in order to do any work on it.

The smartest thing anyone would have done to save themselves from disappointment and frustration as a developer is by simply using your existing Intel Macs and 'waiting' for the software ecosystem to catch up with the Apple Silicon Macs.
It's not just a "oh whoops the city shrank" problem, it's endemic to all American infrastructure. The problem is that local governments are permitted to de-prioritize public safety.
"They are now contemplating a few purchase offers. I have no control or say over this process. There’s a lot of politics. I’m a builder, not a politician and I see no point in staying on."

The investors poured ~$15m into this company, and the board is now trying to fulfill its fiduciary duty by trying to recoup some of the invested capital. I understand that open-sourcing the code base would be a better outcome for its customers. However, I am having a tough time seeing if the investors were truly political or antagonistic in any way.
Phase it. You don't have to nominate every bridge and start simultaneously. Like you say. Choose a few, remove those, then re-evaluate what traffic looks like now.
The land, as well as much of the art, palaces, etc are still there. But everything requires upkeep, so without the engine of the empire and economy, stuff decays, often past the point of repair (think Detroit ruin porn). A palace can't survive without the staff to maintain it.

Not any more, but back in the 1970s and before cryptography was considered the province of the military and spies, not for civilians to mess with, in the US and the UK. State-of-the-art crypto was treated much like tech for nuclear weapons. The pioneers of public key cryptography had to fight for their right to publish.
The older iLO2 and 3 were from the Gen7/8 HP rack mount servers, which were released around 2013 or something like that. I'd have thought that the majority of commercial uses have long passed, so I was wondering if these generation of machines are really being used for home labs, that sort of thing, as they are passed their use by date (I think the gen7 machines were EOSL'd in 2018 so they'll have been chucked out of datacentres).

Actually, I can imagine a fair few are still in use as small enterprise servers, with iLO being visible for remote admin, which is a shame, as that suggests they are not behind a tunnel, so those addresses probably indicate larger problems than a visible iLO.
To be clear: this isn’t the actual podman-compose project, just a wrapper to make docker-compose work with podman-machine. That said, I just tried to do a run and it didn’t work. It’s not part of my workflow though so I haven’t encountered it before and thus haven’t really looked into it.

You can almost hear the not-quite-accurate descriptions that inspired these. Like the (many) images that are almost accurate, except the tusks grow upward: probably the description called them "horns" and mentioned where on the head they grew from, but not the direction, so the artists simply inferred the horn-growth direction they were familiar with from other large mammals.
That only helps if the code is well segregated by usage. Looking at the ELF symbol table for prometheus-2.33.0-rc.1.linux-amd64, it's not clear to me this is the case. Not sure how it's ordered. Lexical import order? Anyhow, without profiling how could the compiler know how to order things optimally?

I think this is one of those cases where, in the absence of profiling or some other hack (e.g. ensuring all routines within a library are cleanly segregated across page boundaries within the static binary and the I/O scheduler doesn't foil your intent), dynamic linking would prove superior, at least for such large amounts of code.
Entropy isn't just a concept in physics but equally applies to institutions. Early on things work well because the mission isn't muddied and people are idealistic. Things can work well for a time with reforms here and there but eventually the rot grows and brings it down. This is in part why no empire was ever permanent. Sometimes its just better to do a reset with the lessons learned and start off just a little bit better.
My take-away is that the BLM should charge a nominal fee and prevent overgrazing.

> To say nothing of betraying their charter

Their charter is absolutely to enable the extraction of resources from federal lands. It's a wild reinterpretation of history to claim otherwise.

> But I do expect them to charge fair prices in the open market

There is no "open market" for land; the BLM owns, for example 65% of Nevada, and huge amounts of Utah, Montana etc. If the US government was a telecom company, everyone here would be up in arms about monopoly price gouging if they tried to charge "market" rates, because consumers have no alternative!

Tesla Fact vs. Fiction: Why the Public Perception Is Wrong [video]
Geolocation is often unreliable. There's no sure way to go from IP address to accurate location, its all based on guesses on how things got routed previously. My previous home routinely showed up as a different country in many different geoip databases, so for me something like that would have always instant-banned me if I switched from cellular (which a lot of databases places me about 100mi away from my home) to home WiFi that would show a jump of 1,000mi.

Even giant orgs like Google who should be good at this will fail at this. I've had services with their Cloud Armor set to disallow connectivity from non-US connections, and yet connections in the US get flagged as non-US even when a traceroute shows no hops going overseas.

I started with 6502 assembly back in the 80s, and assembly for 8-bit micros in the 90s. I left assembly until just 4 years ago, and then I started playing with it again for boot sector games because of Oscar Toledo Gutierrez's book, 'Programming Boot Sector Games', for fun. Now there's, 'More Boot Sector Games'.
