Time ago, when OpenSolaris dead I've switched to Ubuntu, until Unity (WM) was there it was good enough, after they took "the enterprise path", I'm on NixOS, there are a bit of annoyances to run unpackaged binaries but the rest work like a charm AND it's fully reproducible AND creating a custom iso is just the config + a oneliner, so deploy a personal desktop/homeserver is as easy as deploy in an enterprise automated infra without the burden of it.

The nix language is indigestible for me, so I eye Guix System but so far Guix does not have things I like/need so still on NixOS in a calm state: systems updated, automated, reproducible without thinking and babysitting them continuously.
I suspect a lot of that is driven by a small number of privacy advocates, and I really don't like the extremism.

There are people who, if they had their way, would probably ban or highly regulate CCTV cameras.

And somehow, after all these years, right to encrypt and right to use anonymity routing is still under attack at times.

The previous approach to internet privacy assumed it was a public place. The current assumptions are totally unprecedented, they are basically trying to make every interaction not only private but as confidential as a therapists office.

And, even beyond that, they want to eliminate things that even possibly could be used to violate privacy, removing features rather than allowing opt-in, only allowing a weak revokable consent to data processing, etc.

I would much rather they apply a targeted approach of ensuring privacy is always available to those who want it, without trying to eliminate public digital spaces as a category.

I use fedora since long time and so far is quite stable without any non-sense
I'll take a counter approach. it makes sense to install firefox via snap.

firefox breaks if you overwrite its files. therefore installing "normall" via dpkg is bad while firefox is in use (especially on a multi user system). running via a container ensures that the existing running processes don't break while allowing you to upgrade and have any new instance get the new version.

there are reasons to dislike snap, but the usage of containers (even as simply a packaging mechanism, not any form of isolation) can improve user experience.
I'm not really sure that this matters. The problem is that the news organization didn't make money, and judging by the financials they aren't close to making money. It would be a different thing if we could point to other media companies that were making money with their better brand but they basically don't exist. They're either also unprofitable or they're massively bigger than Buzzfeed news - for example NYT has >20x the staff and has a huge reputation that took decades to establish. Buzzfeed going public was the right move, trying to go for scale and make the best of consolidation. The problem is that that plan failed because no one was willing to put up the cash to do it.
Did you try diffing the conflicting databases through a tool like keepass-diff before switching?

I'm the author of keepass-diff and built it for my own needs. Looking through the comments here about why people switched from Keepass to Bitwarden, it feels like the compare feature is something that should be integrated to UI clients as many people seem to face this problem. I always assumed it was more because of permissions and better ability to work with it as a team...
Stolen devices are an edge case because it removes the incentive to steal the devices. Back when mobile phones first started becoming popular they were an equally popular smash-and-grab item. Now? Not so much.

I've used Fedora as my day-to-day OS for data work and web dev for the last few years. It just works with my ThinkPad, looks great (recent GNOME with Wayland is really polished) and RPMs for any tools you might need are usually available.

Any problems I have had have been with my desktop machine and I blame Nvidia 100%.
> > "Making high profit vehicles like this is also helping stellantis bankroll the transition to electric cars."

> And keeps regular people from affording an EV truck.

How, exactly?

AFAICS, if Stellantis didn't have the profits from stuff like this, they'd have to charge even more for other stuff... Like electric vehicles. Or go out of business -- and then they wouldn't sell any electric vehicles at all. Which would lower the overall supply-side of the EV market, lowering competitive pressure on other manufacturers so they all have less of a need to compete on price. Now that would keep people from being able to afford an electric truck!

The exact opposite of your thesis.

NCF webinars and new Pro memberships
In the past few weeks, nocodefounders.com has received support and resources to help take the community to the next level. This is allowing us to do some big things. Firstly, I’m going full-time with NCF this year. I have left my full-time job in tech and I’m now putting 100% of my focus into building this community. Which is allowing us to do a lot more, including a new series of webinars in partnership with some of the most popular and innovative no-code tools, starting tomorrow. These will run every 2nd Thursday at 10am PST for all Pro members.

Here’s what we’ve got coming up…

- 24th March - Bubble responsiveness engine crash course
- 7th April - Remix and Build a portfolio site with The.com using Blocks
- 21st April - Learn how APIs work and how to make your own with Xano

As well as this, we have just released updated Pro memberships for all founders looking to grow their business using no-code tools. Pro membership includes…

- Full Slack access
- Tutorials
- Full access to Tools database
- Perks
- Attend Events - twice monthly
- Full access to all data on NCF site

There's a lot more planned for the community this year, but this kicks off the next phase for NCF.
Hard-wrapping is my bane. Especially in RFCs.
> I suspect this is because the fabrication of the LCDs is tuned to a particular pixel size, so if a company wants to make a 4K monitor, they scale existing LCD production up to a large enough size that they can get it 2160 pixels tall (by however wide), and that’s the size of the display. They can advertise having both a large display (which people like) and 4K (which people like), so there’s no downside to the manufacturers.

There are plenty of 13" 1440p laptop panels being made. You just have to mate 4 of them together to make a 26" 5K display and yet this isn't done. Hell, I'd just settle for someone selling 13/15" 1440p/4K panels in a cheap, thin bezel enclosure with a VESA mount on the back for $250 - $400 a pop and I could make my own 5K/6K display for cheaper than what they're selling for.

Personally recommend openSuse Leap as a boring distro, if you want a bit less boring Tumbleweed is great.
I hope Neon (a non Ubu-family derivative of Ubuntu) is going to make a stance against snap. They can become a place of refuge for snap haters.

In the same vein I installed openSuse Thumbleweed and Fedora; as I'm looking for a way out. I hope Fedora allows me to install all opensource packages without Flatpack or I also ditch them. BTW Fedora's F35 installer has a horrible partition configurator, worst experience in two decades of installing Linux.

So far they are still kind of corporate free in the spirit of doing a desktop distribution keeping things as a normal or dev user would expect without pushing stupid changes in order to advance a corporate agenda.

Also, they are currently based on Ubuntu that they debloat but there is a debian based variant (LMDE) that show future perspectives if Ubuntu become not really usable anymore as a base in the future.
> Integration tests are supposed to be less fragile because they don't rely on specific implementation details or mocks

I think you misunderstand what I mean by fragility. By fragility I mean a few things.

First, it's sensitive to conditions other than the logic under test. Imagine I have an integration test that round trips to a database. What if there is a momentary TCP/IP burp and the connection drops? The test will fail. Nothing with the wrong the test; nothing wrong with the logic, yet it still fails. Then under different circumstances same test/same logic passes. What do now? This is a fragile test.

Second, fragility can happen when the outcome of a test is not deterministic generally because the function under test is not referentially transparent. Good functions are referentially transparent by definition. Mocks can turn non-RF functions into RF functions because you can exercise complete control over the mock's return value. Integration suites struggle to embody this property. If you are careful with setup data you can get around this but its tedious. If you are querying external systems then good luck you are at the mercy of whatever data happens to be there. Same deal as number 1. Sometimes the same test will pass or fail without changes to the logic. Fragile.

Third, Fragility can mean that small changes have cascading impact. If I write an integration suite that tests a RESTful endpoint and I refactor that endpoint's return type I run the risk of invalidating huge swathes of tests. Here I would be judicious. If the endpoint was critical and didn't churn much I'd probably invest in an integration suite.

I cannot fathom a situation where an integration test that requires setup data, database connectivity, possibly network connectivity, specific sequencing, etc. Is going to be less fragile than a test that does nothing but test the specific logic conditions within a function and has no other dependencies. Your style is not invalid I just wouldn't adopt it myself.

>This is the opposite of how the test pyramid is supposed to work.

Where I'm from we'd call this having a case of the "sposedas". Nothing is "supposed" to work one way or another. There is no universal truth here despite what conference speakers would have you believe. There is only the trade-offs implied between a specific course of action vs. another.
one trick is to cultivate a habit or ritual to mark the end of the day. booking some regular activity to attend in the evenings that you look forward to is one idea -- then there's a reason to clock off early to make sure you can get there on time, at least for one day a week.

i've gotten into the habit of stowing all my work stuff somewhere i can't see it at the end of the day, and starting to cook a meal. less exciting but seems to work for me.

I have been using nushell on Windows for a long time. It has a feel similar to Linux shell and yet it runs natively on Windows. This release is definitely a huge bump and really appreciate how shiny it is.
Data Science Project Workflows
I jumped in several months ago and haven't really regretted it. The caveat being that you have to be okay with learning Nix (the language), debugging with only arcane error messages to go off of, and reading a lot of the config source because documentation is vast but shallow. If you feel like you're willing to make the tradeoff, then it is a blast and you'll be surprised you ever lived without Nix.

In case you want some inspiration or to take an existing config and run, feel free to take a peek at or use mine: https://github.com/jakehamilton/config
I think the way to think about it is, they "invented" a particle that has all the right properties to explain real world data. Then they can say, if this is right, we can do such and such experiments to observe it.
"If the thousands of devices you mention were legitimately obtained, why were they locked with account credentials that you didn't have? Or were they recovered from dumped recycling or something?" Oh that was not only smartphones, but also data carriers like harddisks and usb sticks. Apologies for not clarifying.

Nevertheless valid points indeed. Regarding smartphones people just forgot or died. Most of them 'assumed IT would have some way of recovering them so they did not bother'.
I tried to install both, F35's installer made it virtually impossible to configure my partitions. And that for such a mainstream distro.

AWS has a fine stack for deploying "cloud native" apps on top of EC2 instances.

Build a base AMI using Packer and launch it to an Auto Scaling Group behind a load balancer. Deploy code to the ASG using CodeDeploy. Use RDS for the database.

This is a good match for languages that have good concurrency like Elixir. They benefit from deploying to big machines that have a lot of CPU cores, and keeping a common in-memory cache on the EC2 instance is more efficient than using an external cache like Elasticache. It also works well for resource-hungry systems with poor concurrency like Ruby on Rails. Putting these kinds of apps into big containers is just a waste of money.

Here is a complete example of that architecture using Terraform: https://github.com/cogini/multi-env-deploy

Similarly, bare metal can be really cost-effective. For $115/month, I can get a dedicated server with 24 VCPU cores (2x Intel Hexa-Core Xeon E5-2620 CPU), 64 GB RAM, 4x8 TB SATA, 30 TB traffic (see https://www.leaseweb.com/dedicated-servers#NL). That would be an order of magnitude more expensive on AWS with containers.
Do they take a stance against snap?
no. nothing should be ever free from questioning. else things get distorted or exaggerated over time.

It would have been enough imo if the book just had a forward that noted some of it was conjecture based on whatever info they had. No one can truly know as I imagine there was either no documentation or it got destroyed in whatever allied bombing happened.

also blaming white people for shirking responsibility is a bit rich given that term encompasses a lot of nationalities including the British and Americans who fought against the Germans who were the ones doing the geocoding.

This example is silly - it's actually impossible for you to forge spare parts for your car, as most of them require multi-million dollar machines to manufacture, the information on how they are made, blueprints or schematics are not avaliable to you.

> One the "better outcomes" is actually debatable due to a whole host of factors, including that American are generally less healthy not because of our healthcare system but because we have large amounts of high processed high carb food with little excersise which is not the case in the EU.

Having low quality foods IS part of public healthcare spending. Regulating and controlling what foods are considerable fit for humans is within the domain of healthcare too. Taxing highly unhealthy foods to deter excessive compunction, for example, works wonders since there's either more money for healthcare, or less people getting so sick.

Healthcare isn't just about covering the doctor's fee, it's also about reducing how much people need to go to the doctor or get sick in the first place.

There's a very strong reaction here from users, but overall if more software became snap-only (or FlatPak-only, or anything-only), it would solve one of Linux's biggest pain points as a software developer.

MSI on Windows is completely fucked, PKG on Mac has a few footguns, but at least they're universal, decades-old standards supported by mature tooling. You release an MSI/PKG, and you're done. Works on every Windows/Mac system, no issues.

On Linux, an OS with 3% market share, there are more competing standards to count: Deb, RPM, snap, FlatPak, AUR, AppImage and probably a dozen other semi-popular ones. Every individual user has their opinion (and they'll voice it!) as to which standard is the best. At best, this leads to God knows how many man-hours of duplicated work packaging and QAing. At worst, it leads to the dev abandoning the thought of Linux altogether.

Linux on Desktop simply can't move forward by continued bike-shedding over frankly irrelevant details. Even if the only rationale for a standard is "Because Mike Shuttleworth said so, and he got a phone call from Mandela in space", that's a massive improvement over the current status quo.
Why are all of these things acting as if the clock is the problem. The clock is just a doohickey with numbers on it so we can tell how long it is between now and the next interval when we want to do something.

The problem is when people and/or businesses become enslaved to the numbers on the clock as if that number aligns perfectly with the day and every part of the country.

Well dropping the idea of shipping our clocks around twice a year is great the debate of dropping it in favor of permanent daylight savings versus standard time is dumb. Instead we should be empowering places to set their practices on when they open the schools and businesses and such things according to their locale as opposed to an arbitrary number. Because what makes sense to do in Western Indiana doesn't make sense to do in western Nebraska.
