> Point is, it's 100% possible.

It's possible even without a bootcamp.

I self-taught myself development by coding 8 hours a day for 9 months. I ended up being much better than majority of people I worked with, including, or I'd rather say especially, engineering grads. I found out that just because you have a degree, doesn't mean you're good at something.

That being said, I still have to vouch for networking being important. In my case it wasn't bootcamp people, but the italian JS community and the one from Rome, where I attended the local JavaScript meetup that got me my first job easier than I would've expected. I still think I would've landed a job without it, but still, it was a good help.

Also, last but not least, I was a chemistry major with 3 published articles on high-impact journals. While nothing about my chemistry curriculum was relevant to software engineering, it definitely helped me into knowing how to study and learn.

I don't think it made any difference on my CV, but it is still making me a much better professional and engineer than majority of my peers who do not learn basics properly to move on in their careers from a techincal point of view.
> even the software was free!

This brings back memories of dank school basements with "software flea markets" where everything, anything (ok maybe save for hot new releases) cost 5zł per floppy. There was a whole sub-genre of programs dedicated to copying disks, with various counter-techniques to work around each copy protection advancement.

The software definitely wasn't free, but piracy was king, and us teens just rolled with the waves. It was the only way to get warez, there was no internet nor BBSs there/then. Quaint to look back on now.
A 'Pro' device shouldn't be sold with crippled specs.
One of my former coworkers went at least a decade without taking a single vacation day. He cashed them in every year. Eventually one year him and his wife went on a vacation and I guess he took a liking to the experience because from that point on he always used up all of his vacation time. All it took was him actually experiencing an actual vacation trip to see the value in them. It really annoyed our manager, from whose budget vacation payouts didn't come, when he no longer had one of his most productive engineers in the office all 52 weeks of the way, especially since the coworker had been with the company long enough to get six weeks per year. Though not completely due to the newly discovered fondness of using vacation days, we did end up increasing headcount around that time and I'm sure it was a contributing factor.
I think you mean representative.

The numbers here measure one thing only, namely "the percentage of users that access Google over IPv6." I feel sure that Google is able to analyse that reliably, even if Google's percentage doesn't represent much else.

Which countries have 0% on the graph and considerable adoption measured in other ways?
In my biology class, we used to have a quiz on whether students could name five organisms as different from each other as possible. (Feel free to try this yourself before reading further.)

Some students would name all sorts of exotic and obscure animals -- axolotl, vampire squid -- but these would be scored poorly. All animals are actually pretty close, no matter how "obscure." The best score would simply pick organisms from different kingdoms: Dog, maple, portobello mushroom, amoeba, e. coli.

I tried this tactic in the above test, picking common words as categorically distinct as possible (dog, thought, kindness, Tuesday, zero), and received a very low score.

It seems that this system prefers the "axolotl, vampire squid..." version of distinctness instead.
There's not much room for aesthetic variation if the goal is typography-focused minimal design with sans serif fonts. Especially if they both followed typography "best practices" for heading sizes, line heights, readable measures, etc.
Hope they will decide to join and russia will “win” what they have tried to avoid with war in Ukraine
These two platforms don't look that similar.
Could we use it as a diet food if it’s indigestible?
Thanks, and AFAIK this should be the most reliable tool of its type on Linux, and the only one that also hashes executables which makes it a lot harder to bypass.

I mentioned some caveats under the limitations section of the readme such as hashing fails for AppImages because they use FUSE but they're still detected, or noting that scripts are only identified by their interpreter and arguments used. However nothing should be able to bypass picosnitch completely (i.e. silently) without a Linux vulnerability to hide from the kernel itself, or if something were to replace picosnitch with a modified copy.
This is less of a solution than people in Kern county would like to hope for. That environmental water use is almost entirely in Humboldt and the surrounding counties (Trinity, Del Norte, Mendocino). Those people will be just as unhappy about killing off the Trout and Salmon fisheries that have been there for 10000 years as people in Kern will be about ending the Cotton Harvest that has been going for the last 100 years. And this is to say nothing of the difficulties associated with capturing all of that water.
It is a purely selfish policy that wants LA to pay for Fresno to get water from Trinity instead of Central Valley farms simply living within their means and cutting back on water usage (which will have to be done eventually).
how much of this is due to climate versus over consumption of water reservoirs?
All great points, I've taken that and gotten a rough start (definitely not final, going to do some competitor research) at an About Us page. https://hackerbrews.com/pages/about-us

Also, love the name. I'll add it to the ideas list and keep your attribution noted if it ends up on a coffee.
Water is fungible.

Land is not.
I have used EFISTUB for 10 years but I wouldn't recommend it for the next install. The bootloader is the one arcane place that you don't want to be clever with and get reminded of its presence daily, because once it fails for some reason, it wastes much more time to find and read docs and diagnose than the time saved in boot speedup, because the knowledge to debug it is not something you would remember everyday. And this setup is even rarer than Grub, so any failure cases will not have help from cached knowledge and thus require much more research from first principle. Some backup options here would help in case, even if they impose some tax in boot speed. (If Grub takes a tax of 3 seconds per boot, and if a failure in EFISTUB takes 1 hour to resolve, it takes 1200 boots for EFISTUB to be worth the risk, which is 3 years if it's a laptop booting once per day, and much longer for a desktop.)

Once my desktop using the EFISTUB setup had a kernel that failed to boot, stuck at some filesystem error. Then I had to come up with a rescue plan at the spot, because there was no other way to boot into the desktop and there was no tutorial to help with this at the time.

The issues of EFISTUB:

- It doesn't interact with kernel updates nicely. I used a script in /etc/kernel/postinst.d to copy /vmlinuz to \EFI\debian\vmlinuz.efi. There is no rollback, and no multiple kernels.

- It doesn't work well with kernel parameters. The parameters are encoded in UEFI NVRAM. You have to create separate entries for different kernel parameters, or manipulate the NVRAM back and forth with efibootmgr, which is another gun that easily shoots the foot (you can easily mess up the bootorder variable).

- It doesn't play nicely with Windows and Secure Boot.
A market based solution (not rationing) would work well, you just need to do it. I would not be worried about drinking water access if I lived in CA, but I would worry about dumb politicians imposing additional draconian restrictions on residential water use while continuing to do nothing to agricultural use.
>(which is a dying habit these days).

Hmmm, I don't know what that says about me. Checking logs is 2nd nature to me. I guess that makes me old if the "kids these days" are doing something else, but what is the something else? Just not looking at the data and spinning wheels debugging? New tools available? I'll admit I've never looked for anything other than the location of a log of a service I'm investigating.
How are you connecting from so many different IP addresses?
Not really related to the thread but I worked at a think-tank in DC that had such an issue with people never taking time off they started giving sabbatic pay. After your first year you started accruing both regular vacation time and sabbatic vacation time which was 1.5X your normal pay to encourage you to take time off.
Leave our water alone.

More seriously, though, water use is contentious between states and a big thing that the federal government mediates.

WA and OR probably wouldn’t be willing to pump significant amounts of water to CA outside of extreme circumstances or uneconomical prices.
From what I remember they are forced to use/create some open standards in the hope that it'll leave the door open just wide enough so that competition might appear...but it's done in such a way that it does not really help.
History doesn't agree with you. Last time the middle-east and Maghreb got hungry, it was 2011. The Arab spring wouldn't have come if it weren't for food riots.
On the last part, I don’t think there are any thing inherently wrong when a bigger player is applying massive pressure. Such as the mentioned need of earning money from the those services.

What I have a problem is certain most righteous company on the planet are claiming Spotify as evil because they paid less to labels / singers etc.
This is disputed. The GAO issued a report that cited research which claimed its worse when taking land use effects into account.

In regards to your other question about why its a bad way to produce alcohol, from an EROI perspective, a frequently cited figure is its around 1.5:1 (invest one unit of energy, get 1.5 back). Making it from Brazilian sugar cane on the other hand is 8:1.

Whatever the exact numbers are, the benefits are pretty modest if there are any. Its an agricultural subsidy program.
People like nice weather.
A modern low flush toilet is excellent. They flush considerably better than the old 5 gpf toilets. I’ve seen plumbers advise replacing old 5 gpf toilets with 1.28 gpf toilets to reduce the frequency of clogs.

For amusement, you can look up MAPS testing. People flush varying amounts of standardized pretend poop to make sure that toilets work well.

(But yes, there was a generation of low flush toilets that were essentially 5 gpf toilets modified to use less water per flush. They worked poorly.)

Also, a covered pool uses surprisingly little water.
I'm betting you wrote that without even reading the paper.
I've always thought there was an opportunity for professional dungeon masters. If you live in a large city, or think you can pull it off in Zoom, I am sure there is a market for a very curated and polished experience for players. I'd imagine there are hundreds of people out there that are really really good at this, just as there are really good speakers, narrators, and voice actors.
This looks same as the older "watch" command that I use once in a while.

From the man page. "watch - execute a program periodically, showing output fullscreen".

I use it as "watch -5 -d <command>". "-5" is to run the "command" every 5 seconds and "-d" is to highlight the difference from the previous output.
I think you've missed an important thing in your comment.

In order to kill a jew you need a jew. So in order for a berliner to be killing one, the rest of the berliners had to have been nice enough that a jew was present. Unlike say Belgium [1]. Not to say killing a jew is a good thing (it's not) but areas like Poland ended up with a relatively higher concentration because they were more tolerant than western societies.

I know that people have been complaining, I'm wondering if there is any scientific backing for those complaints.
If we're just spitballing, then what about the notion that many plastic pollutants function as estrogen analogues? In that case, you'd see less interaction within young women since at worst any estrogen would merely cause precocious puberty. With young men, the effects could be an utterly undefined space.
+1. In IT, it's hard to go wrong with collared shirt, khakis and dress shoes. Even if everybody else is in flip-flops, it's not going to look wildly out of place.
That half gallon of water the human consumes every day doesn’t end up in the human either.

What’s your point?
Is Netlify not doing rust now? What’s the story there?
I'm more into a computer DnD and figured out that just playing games such as Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter nights are good enough. I'm not a social person and role play even before closest friends feels weird.
It is really odd to include a metric for “environmental” water “use” and would seem to be a strategy to confuse. As if a river is “using” water and reducing that would be a good thing.

California is past its capacity for people and agriculture and both need to be reduced or supplemented with generated fresh water. There are plenty of other places with adequate resources.
It's possible but it's more inconvenient than it needs to be. I'd rather be able to select a previous kernel from a list instead of trying to remember how to change the kernel through chroot on a broken system.
> I don't know why the author didn't mention any of this, but if you're going to base an article on a line about Musk's $100 million effort, you might want to dig into that history, right? As far as Musk's approach, here's the latest update on how that's going

From the criteria: "[...] and that they have a pathway to scaling up to 1 million metric tons removed per year. (The most conservative estimates say the world will eventually need to remove 1.5 to 3 billion metric tons of carbon per year.)"

So 100 MegaUSD for someone to deliver something with the only the potential of being a 1 promille solution: not sure if this strikes me as super promising.
Ok, so we have all these enormous factory farms full of animals who produce fertilizer quite naturally. All we have to do is give them nutritious feed and better lives so they are spared disease. Why can't Big Agriculture pivot to actually using the poop that these animals produce?
> and most importantly: do NOT opt for the 4k screen

Good advice for any laptop purchase. You will burn through battery driving that and the pixel density is much higher than necessary. Yes, 1920x1080/1200 is slightly too low when it comes to pixel density at 15", but it's still very reasonable and with decent eyesight you won't have to worry about any of the mess of DPI scaling.
> The law [...] explicitly forbids me from expressing my preferences globally at the browser level.

You are wrong. I have in fact read the law and if you think this you have not. Please do so if you are curious what it does in fact forbid, you can start here: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CEL...
> Even within the already small residential slice, regulations are weird. When my parents lived in the LA area, they had a large swimming pool and an irrigated lawn but were required to have ultra low flush toilets. The amount of water saved by those toilets (which often required multiple flushes to empty the bowl of waste) paled in comparison with the government approved swimming pool and sprinkler systems.

How so? Pretty much everyone there has a flush toilet that they use all the time, while I'd imagine pools are much rarer (and also not drained/filled with each use). Toilets also essential items that last decades, so it takes a long time to phase in any updates to their standards (especially compared to lawn-watering regulations). It wouldn't surprise me that going to low flush toilets would save more water (across the whole population, over the long run) than banning pools would.
I've heard of the seal issue but never seen any numbers on how widespread the damage is. Got any numbers?
Amiga emulators are quite finicky in my experience and generally have a lot of audio output problems and glitches.
Would have been more interesting if the review covered anything about the actual experience of Linux on this rig other than "works". In particular, rough edges that a long-time Linux user might expect such as suspend/resume reliability, backlight control, peripheral power management w.r.t. bluetooth, webcam, fingerprint reader, nvme device, sound codec, etc, whether Linux is able to continue if a usb-c display is removed while the machine is suspended, etc. For the most part I do expect many of these things to work out of the box on Thinkpad X-series machines but you never know, and power management in particular has often been a mess. The author's claims about battery life are so poor that I suspect power management is not really optimal on their machine, either.
If a CSX freight train hits a car on the tracks, killing the driver, the entire company and the tens of thousands of people who get their paycheck there should all cease? That seems like a massive waste of everything.
Not lying if you talk about Thinkpads. Thry have been very good at Linux support for most of the thinkpad line up.
Is this a statement that the emulators aren't particular solid or that the Amiga hardware is very reliable?
Because men don't get schooled "well, actually" on social media (by other men and women)?

Unless we're talking about interactions like "go back to your kitchen", it's like people are considering it bad when a member of 50% of the population says something and a member of another 50% might disagree and makes its case (what are the statistical chances!)
I can relate. At 18 I made the same decision to go straight to industry with bad reasons as well. One thing that worked out for me was I had a girlfriend that was in college and got to socialize with that group.
>If people reading this wanted to pursue a meaningful solution via data, my advise is to look at the scaling of the farm-to-consumer market, and how to enable larger distributed networks of small independent farms to sell to customers.

are you implying a farmer's market? they exist.
We call that pregaming (to pre-game) in America.
There is the up-up-down-down method that basically uses only one algo over and over but you still have to rotate the cube after each up-up-down-down before applying the next up-up-down-down.

I am sure that is not quite what you meant, but this is what is referred to as the 'using only one algo to solve the rubiks cube' this also only works (AFAIR) for 3x3x3

Twistypuzzling produces great Youtube videos for all types of twisty puzzles.
You don't need to test that they perform well, just that they perform the same (for algorithms that should be bit for bit identical) / similarly (for ones that are less so). If multiple people train the same thing and the results are the same you could trust they have faithfully run the training as asked. That rewards "train as asked" rather than "train and get a good result".

Lack of trust there can be addressed with a few other things like staking, and a broad desire for all miners that people trust the system as a whole. Quite how to design those things is a complex problem but not insurmountable I think.

Disclaimer, this kind of decentralised more useful kind of work is something I'm investigating now.
The quality has noticeably deteriorated after Lenovo brought the Thinkpad line but then in general the quality of electronics is only getting worse not better.
Do you mean the short-term memory needed to apply the commutators or the conjugates? Otherwise you only really need to "memorize" the steps of the method.

I learned this method around 10 years ago, and I can still solve the cube without applying any memorized algorithms because of it. It really is the only fun way for me to solve the cube after all this time.
When was the last time you saw a laptop with a CD drive?
I realize optical drives slowly went out of existence as USB flash drives become larger, faster, cheaper.

It was still around for some time, and I would run into them every once in a while.

But today I realized it has been about 5 years since I saw a CD drive on a laptop.

Anyone else?
Thanks! I've gotten a start at that with an about-us page: https://hackerbrews.com/pages/about-us

Not much "show" yet but at least some more detail.

> Alternatively, I think there is absolutely value is selling coffee with novelty bags, but the price-point needs to reflect that and there is no need for (possibly very expensive) claims.

Can you explain the "possible very expensive claims"? I'm somewhat toeing the line of novelty bags but also at the same time delivering actually good coffee (I understand I need to figure out how to explain that better). The price point is because the cost of the coffee (and shipping) is high, I'm not making a super margin on this. That's not exactly something you just advertise out, so I need to learn ways to instill confidence in the quality/price.
The vast majority of the population in California doesn't live in a desert. They live in chaparral, temperate coniferous forest and mountainous biomes/climates.

It's a moot point regardless as the California Water Plan is probably one of the most extensive in the world, beaten likely only by Israel. There is plenty of water for the populace and supporting services; and most of the populated desert regions (the IE particularly) are self-sufficient in water sources (Big Bear and Mt San Antonio supplying the aforementioned region).

The problem is water heavy industries (specific types of: ag, water bottling, manufacturing, etc) that benefit from the mild-temperate year round climate and strong soil, despite lack of sufficient natural water supply.
By capable I mean able to execute. Most men struggle to find a single partner to be monogamous with, let alone multiple partners.
Sure but something else could be planted in its place or the acreage could go to conservation and absorb more carbon.
> If that's a terrible idea (and I agree it is!) then people won't buy them, and Tesla would have to change.

What if it's a terrible idea, but is outweighed by other good decisions Tesla makes? Should they be encouraged to ruin things just enough that it's still worth buying their products? As long as the ppm is just above lethal limits, does it matter who is poisoning the well?
That's usually the kind of thing that supervillains suggest.
I see that you can use systemd as a boot loader (UEFI only). I've never tried it, but would like to set it up. The Arch wiki (of course) has info on it:

What's the fallacy about pitting your own citizens against foreign workers who must work for low wages and crap wages or face deportation? Jobs are a zero sum game. Don't forget - once you bring in a firehose of foreign workers, the ability for workers to collectively bargain is harmed. I have seen firsthand the drop in quality of life in enterprise software companies over the past decade due to the H1B system producing scores of yes-men, incapable of saying no to their superiors over fears of losing their job.
And high skilled workers should get to come and work, no strings attached. The fact that some people complain of facing legit competition in such high-wage jobs and even call themselves "leftist" is quite sad. I suppose that when you're that privileged, actual equality feels like oppression.
Absolutely great work! UX is actully pretty good and I think it helps understanding some usefull basics.
