I discovered direnv a couple of months ago and put it to work automatically switching AWS profiles. Now, when I work on CloudFormation templates for each of my AWS accounts I don't have to manually copy & paste ENVARs anymore. Thanks to direnv I just have to cd into the proper directory and BAM I have the proper credentials.

Thanx @zimbatm!

Ahhh if only life were so simple. While I'm at it, can you provide me with an alternate skill-set and career path that doesn't need me to use Windows for my employment?
Very good point, and I've thought about this a lot. Still not sure what the best solution is... there is also a "flag-mashup" of the Austrian, Swiss, and German flag, but that's looking weird, too.

Maybe a combination: a small icon with the three flags in one row, and underneath, the text "German post".
I mean, C++ is designed by committee, and it's hard to deny that it's been pretty successful too, regardless of what people's opinions on the language are. Both styles have flaws, but both can be adequate if you put in the right incentives and the right people.

Well, this hasn't happened, and now we have the situation mentioned in this article.
Technically true, but not how it is actually done. People very often specify packages like Babel, React, TypeScript, GraphQL, etc. as peer dependencies even when they shouldn't.

Anyway, in any case, auto installing peer deps solves both situations. There really is no reason to not auto install them.

If working a "lowly" warehouse job and dabbling in many different subject areas is what makes you happy, that's obviously perfectly fine. But if you believe that dabbling in many different areas will actually somehow in the long run lead to any kind of (work-related) success you're dead wrong in my opinion. You have to focus most of your time on one or maybe two or three areas (after you have become really good at one thing) in order to be able to make any meaningful impact somewhere. Knowing a little of a lot of things is nice to have, but unfortunately has very little use in our society.
The US administrative and political system is objectively older and more archaic than the ones in almost every European country (besides Britain, Switzerland and maybe(?) Scandinavian countries). Germany was established in 1949 and Italy is a fairly new country as well.
The Debian Project Leader election voting is going on right now, but the powers they have under the constitution mean the position is mostly a figurehead/administrator.

London could work depending on your business. Hope you involved an international tax lawyer; there can be a lot of issues with the German taxes in this setup if you did not do this carefully.
you only need two colors: background and foreground
Well the main issue in italy is not lack of funding or lack of talent but rather the amount of taxation companies had to go through and the uncertainty behind a big and complex legal system which makes an average of 8 years for civil processing .

these two things alone and the fact there are better places in europe to make a startup (hint: netherlands, germany, france, czech republic, romania, poland) makes me wonder if they will succeed or is this a way to collect IP rather than helping idea to grow? maybe they saw that this is exactly what most of incubators are doing, in the end lots of startups in Italy were made by university professors making startups out of a research paper from one of their student, so i can see why an incubator could be interested in this.

yes i know, sorry for the negativity i've been there and i experienced this first hand.
I am not the author. I came across this incident, and thought it deserves a wider audience.
> Most loyal customers will let you know what’s wrong and what features they’re most excited about- that honest feedback is far superior than telemetry data

That's just wrong. Very few users, regardless of loyalty, would bother sending feedback. That's why many companies have drives with gift cards or whatever as reward for participating in giving feedback. And even then, you'd get a limited subset of users ( loyal, loud, with time available to waste) instead of everyone like with telemetry.
Keeping /usr/bin is a smaller change, because that’s where most binaries were before the merge. Only a few essential repair tools traditionally lived in /bin because that made each host store its own copy (rather than maybe depend on NFS).

There will always be sets of tools managed by the distro or my org or my team or me, and it’s pretty important to segregate them to avoid and resolve conflicts, so I expect at least four entries in $PATH for the foreseeable future. Plus whatever messes vendors care to dump somewhere in /opt.
You really think getting rid of a twitter bot is that important? Seriously? Like wtf. I just can't even imagine how anybody can even consider that.

Musk clearly has much better other reason that make about 1000% more sense. He has been one of the biggest twitter accounts for a long time. He clearly cares about speech (whatever you may think about it) and he talks about that often in talks to governments around the world and so on. In your version that is all some elaborate front in order to take down some twitter bot?

If you think any non-insane person would spend 9 billion to ban a twitter account that just publishes public information I really don't know what to say anymore. Even if that bot was removed, anybody else could set up the same thing again.

Whatever you my think of Musk and calling 'edgy' or 'petty' or whatever, what you suggest is literally a 100% totally crazy thing to do. No human that is not insane would consider this a logic course of action.

If it was about that and he didn't want to pay the 50k publicly, there are about 1000 possible other ways that could have been achieved other becoming gigantic investor in twitter.
> Average users may not pay, but specialized users may pay and pay more than enough to subsidize some sort of free tier.

If I can, I'm happy to pay, so others doesn't need to. I don't understand why I'm in minority and most of the people thinking only about themselves.

I'm happy to pay because for many years I also had to use free services, paid by others (or ads, but ads I'm blocking however I can).
> This has changed several years ago.

AFAIK not yet for everybody

> Keyword being had. It's gone for like 10 years.

I think it's less, but in my last renewal in 2017 I had to pay over 100€ all at once which is ridiculous (but at least less ridiculous than having to put a 10€ physical "marca da bollo" each and every year).
The thing is, HDR is considered too expensive and impossible on these cards without specific hardware capabilities and relevant API support.

Valve said "Ha, let's see!" and implemented great HDR visuals with integers only. So it's not just let's hack together and see how it goes. IIRC, it took three re-implementations to get it right and performant.

Similarly, I'm not a stranger when it comes to hardware and its limits, but what deemed impossible by many, even knowledgeable people, doesn't mean it's a hard, cold truth (e.g. demoscene and PoC||GTFO).
As someone who divorced, it doesn't mean that I regret my marriage. It didn't work out but that doesn't mean that we didn't also have good times or that the bad outweigh the good and from other friends who divorced, it doesn't seem that I'm the only one.

<portal> is an experiment/pet project pushed (and only implemented!) by one browser vendor, which as far as I know remains feature flagged.

It was shipped behind a flag with an initial implementation vulnerable to a same origin policy bypass as well as local file disclosure. As far as I can tell the only reason it wasn't assigned a Moz standards position of "harmful" is because Google argued "it's actually still a work in progress!" (three years ago).

I’ve tried with Neeva, and to be honest, even put aside the potential privacy problems, it just doesn’t work. The quality of search results is notably poorer than Google. I used it for a dozen of PyTorch & Numpy related queries, and a dozen more on convex optimization maths. I often find that it can’t find the right answer for me. It’s really a pity because I quite like it’s feature to search information from connected accounts, in my case I gave it permission to my Notion page used as archive storage. That went pretty well tho.
why would they?
> The original point of a non-merged /bin (and /sbin) was to contain essential binaries for system recovery and early boot, that should be available even when a separate /usr/ partition is not yet mounted.

The original point of a non-merged /bin was that /usr/bin was a spillover from when they ran out of space on the primary drive back in the 70s, so there was a slapdash split where the stuff necessary for bringup was kept in /bin and the rest would be kicked down to /usr/bin, in a very inconsistent manner depending on the system’s evolution.

In fact that’s also why users were moved from /usr (the original location, hence the name) to /home: /usr ran out of space, so they added a third disk and moved the user directories over there.

> Keep in mind that the approach of booting from initrd is quite non-idiomatic

How can you claim that it’s non-idiomatic when it’s the standard approach?
No, it is not for that.

Your distribution needs an initramfs for that reason; you as a user can just recompile the kernel so that the modules it needs are built-in rather than needing to be loaded separately from a ram-disk. If you need an early-boot file system at all (as with an encrypted /), it can be provided in /boot/ and then "swap root" to / at boot like initrd does.

"2000 Active Users (estimated)"

Also, in the 'about the plans' section of that page, under 'Concurrent Requests' and 'Users and Active Users' you have more details. But one can think of concurrent requests limit as actions occurring simultaneously (eg: 50 people clicking a button at the exact same time). Even on the rare occasions when that happens, the actions are queued and take a couple more seconds to process.
Depending on where you’re doing that and your nationality and fiscal residence, that might be illegal.

I deliberately chose Twitter's JavaScript because I inspected the design of how it worked and saw that they had deliberately built it in a way that would respect my preferences for how deletion should be handled.

They've changed that on me - without even announcing the change. This is a rug-pull.

Now I have to replace their code with my own implementation, and they've hurt my trust.
There's a rather old review on LWN: https://lwn.net/Articles/66290/

It's essentially like Macos's /Applications directory, except where Macos supports the traditional POSIX fhs via a hidden /private root directory, Gobolinux hides these directories with a filesystem kludge.

It's fun to think I'm some data in that survey, as it feels like a lifetime ago now. I was on team ATI and team Intel back then, now team Nvidia and AMD. Given that AMD bought ATI, I guess the only loser there was Intel.

What are you talking about? Of course its valued, that literally why those companies have value.

But of course its valued far less then a growing company.

The Ransomware Files podcast, Ep. 6: REvil's attack against Kaseya involved the use of 0-day vulnerabilities known only to a handful of people, a race between attackers trying to snare ransoms and defenders developing a patch, and a secret operation that hacked back against the REvil hackers.

I did a solaris 10 course in 2008, even then it felt that it was on the way out, with some big iron companies still having them of course, but then they still have systems even older than that.

Solaris 10 did have some neat features not found in Linux then, not just ZFS, but containers etc.

By 2012 as the concept of things like AWS was gaining traction, I'm surprised that legacy systems like solaris was even a consideration, I'd be very surprised if solaris was chosen in any greenfield installation (rather than extensions to existing companies with a lot of solaris/oracle) in the last 15 years.
Other things aside, the expression "a nuclear power" generally means an organization -usually a state- with nuclear weapons.

As such, if you search for nuclear power in general you'll find there are about 30+ countries in the world with plants. If instead you search for "nuclear powers" you'll find it refers to just 8 countries with nuclear weapons.

I mean, I know this is just stupid clickbait to make you think of something like the Pepsi Navy and grab your imagination. But it is still stupid clickbait.
Overclocking was pretty common (and I guess might still be in gaming communities) so I wouldn't be surprised if some machines were unstable and running with corrupted memory.
The Twilio API integration with the Twilio API lessons/levels was impressive, but otherwise I found TwilioQuest quite "meh."

It teaches programming OK, but it's not a very interesting/fun game. It's more like programming lessons with game elements tacked on. So you actually waste a lot of time doing boring "game" things like walking around a map looking for stuff. You collect stuff like weapons/armor but 99% of the items don't affect the game in any way.

I 100% completed the Twilio API levels and API academy. It wasn't fun so I didn't bother to try the JavaScript/Python modules. (Also it was a little too basic for my level. TwilioQuest may be more engaging for kids who don't know how to program, yet.)

This doesn't exist yet, but I'd like to create a VR experience that teaches programming. You can write "spells" that use the magic of loops and variables to generate objects in VR and automate them.

For example, a quest like building a forest of 10,000 trees could be done manually, but writing a VR "spell" would be the smarter, faster way. Later, this VR spell could be used/modified in the future for other tasks or just general VR content generation. It's not just a game, it's a platform for VR content generation.
> Dan Luu also elsewhere makes the argument that most of the impactful engineering work done in large companies is performed by a small percentage of the engineering group.

The keyword "impactful engineering" needs some clarification though.

It does not mean there's a 100x guy walking around the office while everyone is slacking off.

A specific proof of concept hacked together by a guy in a week might eventually become the company's flagship product. That's impact. However, the thing needs to be rewritten from scratch to become production ready or even deployable, and that takes far more work that does not fit the definition of "impactful".

I personally know a principal engineer of a FANG which single-handedly wrote the proof of concepts of more than a few projects that thousands of users use every single day. From his own words following one of his recent presentations, "this needs to be rewritten from scratch as this would get me rejected from our job interviews".

It is hard to imagine a powerful billionaire employing basically-Nazis being allowed to run this sort of science project.
> my point is you don't even know WHAT to criticize.

Yeah, sure. That's what I'm responding to with all the stats. The nice thing about numbers is that they are fungible. Anybody can read a chart and tell you the US military is really bad at workplace safety, whether or not there is a war going on.

It's a bit like the US police force. You can show a bunch of figures to a LEO, and the figures for law enforcement in the US are worst in class - the US spends more and gets less from its police than almost any other nation on earth - and they'll just say straight up that you don't understand their jobs, not realizing that the figures clearly show they don't understand their jobs either.

Now, the US military is much better than the US police force, but there's the same underlying problem. It doesn't have to fix its problems because there's no soldier's unions, there's no competitor coming in to eat its lunch, and the only oversight is the worst kind of political interference.

If I was in the military, I'd see it Iraq and Afghanistan as a golden opportunity for reform, just as the Sino-Vietnamese war was for the chinese PLA. You can use defeat as a bludgeon against entrenched tradition. It's no good in that situation just saying to outsiders that they don't understand your special requirements - you want to actually encourage academics, journalists, etc, especially the unsympathetic ones, to pitch in and try and work out what went so awfully wrong.

The first step in that would be to absolutely draw every parallel and draw every lesson you can from the civilian sector, because that's your testing bed for organizational strategy. That's what people like Robert MacNamara did in WW2 - they took civilian traditions like accountancy and statistics, and applied them to the USAF, to devastating effect. If you're in a situation where you feel like there's some experiential special sauce, it needs to be absolutely pinned down, quantized, and described, so you can work out how its effecting all the other metrics.

I agree with this, email (professional at least) inbox should be treated as its own todo list.

anything in the inbox is something to action, anything you don't need to action personally, archive / tag or move to a folder and be done with it.

If it's something to action then at least gmail has a snooze button and I've found that to be super helpful.

My rule of thumb is that I should not have more than 30 items in my inbox. If there's more then clearing the inbox takes priority over anything else (bar key meetings).
Florida has a number of nuclear power plants. I don't think money has ever been a deterrent factor for Disney. They were probably worried about a meltdown scenario.
