Yeah the British government's IT projects have a bad reputation but credit where credit's due gov.uk is really good in my opinion. I remember reading (probably here) that it was designed with a philosophy of 'our users don't have a choice but to use our software, so we must make it as un-infuriating as possible'.

Can’t you just set the game to FHD on a 4K screen and get the same frame rate? Or does the higher resolution still „consume performance“ from the GPU?
At the moment I'm struggling with my founder role and accountabilities inside the project.

I've switched from a DevOps position to become the Product Owner, managing the delivery of the open-source project and the day to day work, but now I see lack of time in developing a real evangelism and DevRel things inside the Leapp project.

I'm completely aware that this is THE crucial part of an open-source project and I really love OSS because of the contributing from all around the world.

But is turning that maintain and grow a community around the project, make the project well known, is a full time job for a founder of a project.

I still don't know if I have the right skill for that kind of job and where a such particular job can bring me in the future, together with the Noovolari company.

BTW, this is my project (https://github.com/Noovolari/leapp) and I would love to chat more with you!
I think that if Spotify complied with this request, it would set up a dangerous precedent. Next there could be calls left and right to remove all kinds of "objectionable" content (think: that hip hop artist "glorifies violence" — as Twitter puts it — or is sexist/misogynistic).
That means it is uncorrelated with their short/medium term success.

If we wanted to fix that, we would either vote with wallets (we aren’t, so this doesn’t work) OR we could assign higher penalties for breaches.
VMWare has had a high availability mode for over a decade. It keeps checkpoints of system state elsewhere and synchronously replicates them.

If the primary catches fire or crashes, the secondary boots the VM quickly without data loss.

If the primary reboots, it checkpoints RAM to the secondary pauses the VM and unpauses it on the secondary a few milliseconds later.

Note that this transparently handles storage replication, which is something that is notoriously difficult in Kubernetes.

If your cluster fits on one machine, you've paid for a lot of (currently) unnecessary complexity up front, both in dev time and in hardware cost.

If your app scales to need the cluster, congrats. Sometimes delaying time to market to allow for a smoother ramp makes sense. Sometimes it does not.

(Wikipedia is a good example of succeeding without ever needing to scale out the back end. I doubt they'd have won out over their competition if they took an extra 12-24 months to launch.)
Fauci is not claiming that his views are based on being an inventor of the technology. He’s saying that he’s read the papers by the many scientists involved and is basing his advice on that heavily-reviewed work. Malone could submit his claims to the same process but he knows that they’d never hold up to examination.
Except that there are real attacks and the insurance companies affects will do postmortems to figure out why what they demanded didn't work. It will be a few rounds before they figure out how to train for this though. More than a few rounds because the bad guys are not stupid and thinking up new things that smart good people need to mitigate.
For the same reasons that LINQ is used in C# programs.
I don't recall seeing "single" in the comment I replied to. You can live migrate VMs between hypervisors. Either I missed it or it's a dirty edit.
perhaps you can hire a delivery guy directly?
This is brilliant and something I had the intuition was possible, just couldn't put it all together myself. What was missing, I think, in my thought process was just taking into account the general common occurrence of words in English in general. Plus how to deal with static.

Just so cool someone put this together, major props.
And that's before you even turn it on.

Electricity is far more expensive per BTU than gas pretty much anywhere with municipal gas.
Congrats to Jon and Chandan on the milestone. Pretty rare to see a company go from seed to unicorn in a single round! Anything particular you learned during that jump?

Excited to see how you and the team continue to build.
I should have clarified in the original comment: the roles all had python experience as a specific requirement and some of the candidates apparently had multiple years of experience with Python listed on their CVs.
this is kinda tipa of the iceberg of what fb did in this area.

I hope when they’re huge in 5-10 years, they don’t go down the path of Intuit and lobby federal officials to continue taxing crypto the way it’s currently taxed as an asset.

It's been a while, but I vaguely remember an economics professor of mine stating that it's not inflation which is the core issue for people, firms, and economies, but an increased price volatility which positively correlates with high inflationary rates. The take-away was that when people can reasonably predict what inflation might be MoM, or QoQ, businesses and individuals are able to price transactions and required rates of return accordingly.

So yeah, by that understanding, inflation can be normal in a healthy functioning economy. It is uncontrolled/unpredictable inflation that's problematic.*

My marina is mostly full of working-class people. It's just that they chose to buy a boat instead of an RV (total cost of ownership is similar).
It’s fine to criticize that, but you should be even handed and also acknowledge that establishment experts and captured mainstream institutions have tried very hard with deceptive tactics to hide any possibility (I said possibility… I didn’t say fact) that the people dying daily you are concerned about are dying from a virus released by a lab leak in a system managed by what would seem to be your preferred experts. The possibility is there and it should not be deflected from with deception and talking points.

In other words you are so concerned about the credibility of one person, but you don’t seem to care that the entire field has compromised its own credibility by the behavior of its leading figures and key institutions.
Any stories you're willing to share about Galacticomm founder Tim Stryker? He had quite the reputation of being an extreme technical genius, but also extremely troubled...
I love this post, I would only add that “useful” is not the inspiring criteria it is made out to be, as demonstrated by the example of Farmer Bob’s fence. What needs to be resuscitated is the transcendent, aesthetic dimension.
I responded above, either I missed the word "single" or it's been edited (but doesn't show it as being edited?) -- live migration between hypervisors is a thing.
Well, after 30 years of software development experience, I seem to be the only person I know who has learned that you have to be able to test everything outside of a production environment.
What an incredibly succinct and thoughtful summary! Well done.

I believe there is an additional emotional component of those who are sick of the way it FEELS when they realize how fruitless and stupid the work culture of America is. There's a quiet and desperate hopelessness that I think a log of people resonate with when they see and read about the impacts of organized labor movements. Everybody wants to feel in charge of themselves, and it's obviously natural to feel bad in some way when you realize that you don't, if you're poorer.

Not the author, don't know him, no connection – but I caught a glimpse somewhere on the blog that he is currently unemployed. As an open-source maintainer, I feel like it is my duty to plug him so he can perhaps get some patrons or donations, the blog is great. https://www.bookandsword.com/support/

He is also not a software engineer or in tech in any meaningful way, so his 'tip to total income' ratio is probably off the chart compared to, say, me.

As an aside, now that everybody is asking for 'tips' of some sort, it is getting quite difficult to figure out for whom these tips are essential (i.e. him) and for whom they are just gratuities. I wish I had a good answer for this.

Hopefully that make those certificates worthwhile someday. Right now they have earned a bad reputation, but with the right training behind it things could change.
Huh, we are moving our apps from ECS to kube and are super happy with it.

I’m not sure why anyone would use ECS. Their APIs are terrible and the tooling is no where near what k8s offers.

Want to have a rapid development experience like tilt/scaffold/devspace? Have fun

Want to add Prometheus and Grafana? Have fun

Want to create development environments where an app declared its dependencies and they are installed alongside and can communicate? Also have fun

There are many more of these…

Kube is cloud Linux, and ECS, in classic Amazon style, is just a terrible version of it.

The Thick of It is supposedly not far from the reality either.
> Overall, a total of more than 19,000 Americans have died from cold-related causes since 1979, according to death certificates.

It's a bit hard to prove who died due to the flood/etc being affect by climate change as opposed to if they'd have died if the flood was less. But I'm not sure ~500/yr is a good number to bet against.

get classes, pretty unexpensive. After your first 5-7 days when you learn basic skills you will receive plenty of invitations to crew.
Not unlike the corporate world, too many chiefs, not enough workers. Good crews are in high demand (and you can bring significant other, friends).
Lots of owners are clueless.
Lots of big boats are looking for crews, typically an ocean crossing. Think Panama-Tahiti. Expenses, including flights, paid
Go look at the "become an affiliate page" for contrast.
Plants and produce work differently. If you buy a farmers crops you dont get to send the rotten food back to them and ask for a refund. Only very large sellers even offer that to begin with.

Also "return it back" doesnt mean the company got the same value. Some companies only give credits for the returns and sometimes those credits are less than MSRP.

If you ever see something on clearance it means A) they cant return it to get credit or B) the credit amount they will get is less than what the clearance price they are offering is
A TM is a machine which accepts a tape, together with a specific tape: it performs a very specific calculation.

A UTM can take an instructional input which turns it into a different machine, which can then process tapes designed for a different TM mechanism.

A fixed programming language (and its standard library) is a UTM. If there are regular expressions in the language syntax, or the library, it's a feature of the UTM.

Everything else is instructions: additional libraries, macros, whatever.

We can extend languages by pretending that the additional code we have written (libraries, syntax rewriting) comprise a new, extended language. So that's a new UTM.

There are limits in what syntactic rewriting can provide in a seamless, efficient way. Some features are simply not expressible in the target language of the rewriting, other than by using the syntax to create an inefficient, interpreted language. The use of the features it provides is walled off within the embedded syntax. (Not to deny that this is nevertheless valid and practically useful.)

The UTM theory tells us that we can always adapt a UTM to accept the tapes intended for any TM mechanism. However, it doesn't tell us how costly that is. For some TM mechanisms, the approach may be to translate a given tape up-front into the UTM's own instructions and then run it directly. For some TM mechanisms, the approach may be to simulate the mechanism: the UTM's instructions execute the simulator, which executes the tape. The UTM theory mostly talks about simulation.

What we know is given a Turing Complete language A (i.e. a UTM) we can always write an interpreter for language B. That's the baseline. We then have a new UTM equivalent to B, consisting of language A, plus the interpreter. That setup then accepts programs of language B, and their inputs.
If it makes you feel any better, I can never remember BASH syntax. I have a gist where I keep all the common junk like for loops and array manipulation.
Never had that problem in other languages as I can generally remember after 3 or 4 repetitions but my brain just can't grasp BASH syntax.
> search don't sort

step 1 is have a bunch of stuff to be able to search (a la google). I hate organizing notes, but jotting down "throw away" notes into Roam in a daily note later serves the purpose of being able to search for, e.g. "#movie" and see all the movies I watched last year
Almost all big companies let candidates choose their language for the interview, with assumption it'll be python/java/c++ or similar mainstream lang.

Plenty of absolutely horrible kafkaesque experiences with the state. This is definitely not exclusively a “private company” problem.
If things are architected to be updated in a rolling fashion. If it's some single node app you're screwed. But we're talking about K8s so I would hope you're using it for its purpose and not some tiny cluster for a 3 request per minute app.
not so much, some of the redesigns ripped out the usable data and replaced it with holding pages. Specifically to do with immigration, that hit us a couple of years ago.

However its pleasing to see a site that works well on crappy computers.
Best communities right now are old fashion, self-hosted forums.

> but he regularly injects himself and varying degrees of "information" into the conversation to color and steer it.

Sure, when something requires clarification because it seems inconsistent with his understanding or what's common knowledge. Even an impartial moderator would do that. It still remains the case that his instinct is to let the guests talk, because he invited them there to learn more about them.

That said, Rogan certainly states his own opinions sometimes too, more so and more forcefully on certain topics that he's discussed many times and so he has developed more certainty. I used to watch more of his podcasts a few years ago, and he was much more open and less certain on some topics. Recently he's expressed more certainty on those topics because he's had so many discussions on them that his certainty is higher.

I would certainly welcome more guests with opposing views, but a lot of those people wouldn't go on his podcast simply because he "gives a platform" to their opponents.
ever tried reading a major newspaper? they print corrections and apologize for errors in their reporting every single day.

how often do "independent" media figures apologize or admit to making mistakes?

corporate media sucks, but their lies tend to be more about what they choose to present and what they choose to omit rather than made up facts.
A rant like this makes me ask; can we do much better? Want if this is about as good as human cooperation gets?

A rant like this has only one answer, and it’s for society to stop trying. The ranter fails to grapple with details, matters of fact, and reality in general. The ranter is overwhelmed.
>Why not build a printing press? All you really need to do is carve some wood

The printing press seems to be far more complex than just "carve some wood". Otherwise I find it hard to believe that it took until 1400AD for people to figure out how to make large stamps.

You seem to be addressing the question of when self-driving cars should be used in place of manually driven ones, whereas the website seems to asking how we should program the self driving cars (where I would say we should be trying to make them close to a hypothetically perfect moral agent).
What does being a minority have to do with freetime? Most of the people I worked with at my first faang were minorities. Seems like weird pandering. Also, If i'm going to pay someone 3-400k a year they better be able to whiteboard out some honestly pretty basic algorithms. They're paying the best, want to hire the 'best', and the 'best' can do this in addition to having systems knowledge or whatever. If you don't want to prepare or find it too difficult then you aren't worth 3-400k because there are enough people that can pass the bar at that price range. And to be honest, I don't think 'grinding' leetcode is really too much to ask for how much you are going to be paid. These complaints always come across as whiney people that want something for nothing. You have to compete.
It will if Amazon keeps boiling the frog with pricing.

Having a consistent platform like this also gives them negotiating muscle because if they wanted to up sticks and move completely it is much more feasible.
That's doesn't seem like an accurate take on what he's doing.

Young is either hoping that other people will follow his lead or knows that it could happen. That's why he made it a big public announcement. Young is very openly trying to pressure Spotify into cancelling Rogan.

Whether Young's mistake here is as big as Rogan's is a very complex question.

What we can know for sure is that trying to cancel people because you disagree with them is an extremely corrosive thing to do in a free and open society. It's a very big mistake.
An eagle's focal range capability gives a similar outcome but works nothing like this lens.
There's something weird going on in that graph.

If you click through each age group individually, they all show the unvaccinated rate per 100k as much higher than vaccinated. Yet, the "All ages" group has the opposite.

That doesn't seem like it should be possible. The age ranges supposedly cover every age (0 to 80+ seems like all ages to me), and within each sub-group, unvaccinated case rates are larger... it doesn't seem possible for the all-ages graph to show the opposite.

Do you have any insight into that discrepancy?

Why Americans don't pronounce the H in herbs [video]
Read my other comment in this thread, there's a quote from him directly supporting war.
I work for Viam[0] and while all of our actual calculations are made using Spatial Vector Algebra[1], inputs can be made in a number of different ways and supporting DH is crucial for allowing pre-existing configurations to be easily brought over to our platform. SVA can also conveniently be easily used for both kinematics and dynamics.

Personally I find SVA way more intuitive than DH or PoE.

What data is collected? Currently, the screenshots of the README don't show anything. Instead, the author just says there are some remote capabilities and the details will be posted in a future report.

If you know what the author is referring to, can you link the relevant files so we can take a look at them?
Emergency rooms are overloaded only because most states have ignored treatments that are effective at not only keeping people out of the hospital but resolving symptoms within a week, readily available, not costly (aha!) and very safe, long used drugs that are well understood.

A self inflicted wound is hardly a reason for continued panic.

Now that the brain dead vaccine mandates are being shot down staffing should also start to resolve itself. Again, the VAST majority of issues with COVID are self inflicted - driven by politics and severely misguided social pressure.
So Americans' gas stoves are as bad for the climate as ~0.2% of Americans' cars.
Now that I think about it that is true. RV, boat and summer cottage are pretty much in same ballpark. From purchase price and maintenance. Not very cheap, but affordable. Also used boats keep their value and last for decades.
This seems to be ignorant about what the law actually says on cookies.

Some of the examples of why you need a cookie prompt are false.

Cookies that are used to provide expected functionality (e.g. log in session cookies) do not require a prompt.
>You start panicking and soon you have absolutely zero mental bandwidth to accomplish the task and your mind is basically singularly focused with getting out of this terrible situation

This is such a relatable description.

I don't think you even need a panic disorder to have this happen to you, this has happened to me a handful of times and it's absolutely the worst. It really is humiliating, totally ruins your day and you end up kicking yourself for several days after. I think this is just something that a lot of people do, like stage fright or something. The only way I know to avoid this is to do a lot of interviews with different companies that you don't really care about to get more confidence before you finally do get to the interview you care about, just so you don't choke during the one you want.
This is the same kind of rhetoric Rogan uses to say nothing and make it sound like it's a worthwhile opinion.

Yeah, taking ivermectin to treat covid despite doctor's advice is objectively dangerous... people have actually died trying to take horse de-wormer. Rogan still spreads this nonsense.

You're appreciative of Joe having Jordan Peterson on to ramble about things like "climate doesn't exist"? In the same episode Rogan says it's "weird" to call black people black because they're not dark enough to be considered black technically. You feel like you've gained something from this exchange?
Alex Jones is an interesting example. I had never really heard anything about him except for the little bits and pieces that make it to CNN. Then I listened to a Joe Rogan interview with him and it convinced me that Jones is literally crazy. Rogan would ask him something and Jones would go ballistic yelling and spewing nonsense.

I've heard criticisms of Rogan for giving people like Jones a platform, but in the end I can't believe it helps Jones. He came off as a lunatic in the show I heard.
