Profile Manager was software that Apple used to provide free with macOS Server which was free with certain hardware purchases. This software provided a native way to manage multiple devices that was ideal for small businesses and families.

I understand there are non-free and non-native alternatives, but the discontinuing of free software is still frustrating. It would be like Apple suddenly deciding to make Safari a monthly subscription. Sure, I could pay for it or I could start using Firefox, but it is still functionality that used to be native and free that no longer is.
Do you have a dedicated team in charge of it?
Try to think about a way your product (or at least a minimal version of it) could work without "user management." Sounds counterintuitive but sometimes it is a requirement that has never really been thought about, just assumed to be necessary.
I worked at Lehman Brothers from 2005-2008. Traded equities on a floor with ~500 other traders/sales traders. It was a formative experience.

It's a better model than the current system of 'load shedding', where random districts of a city are switched off if there is a power shortage.

I would certainly like to be able to decide to pay a big premium for scarce power than have that decision entirely out of my hands.

>Also don’t code review the code it self, review the diff.

A significant percentage of the most critical problems I detect during reviews is in the parts that have not been changed, invisible in the diff. A good diff is necessary, but not sufficient.

>The researchers found that the typical rich American is, in their words, the owner of a “regional business,” such as an “auto dealer” or a “beverage distributor.”

It would be interesting to see how many people who own auto dealerships or beverage distributorships grew them from nothing versus bought them. I have frequently heard both of these businesses described as licenses to print money, and have seen that firsthand with some auto dealerships (notably Toyota). Retired athletes often buy into these businesses for that reason.
What ate Lisp's lunch wasn't necessarily the Lispers dreaming of a perfect system. Rather, Unix was far more accessible in terms of availability than the contemporary Lisp systems coming out of Symbolics and Xerox at the time Unix really started to take off. Before the breakup of AT&T in 1984, Unix was available to universities under comparatively generous licensing terms. While source licenses were very expensive for companies and (after 1984) for universities, binary licenses were relatively inexpensive, and beginning in the 1990s we saw open source Unix-like operating systems such as Linux and the BSDs. Unix was not restricted to a particular architecture; it ran on a wide variety of hardware.

Contrast this with Symbolics Genera and Interlisp-D, the premier Lisp operating systems of the 1980s. A Symbolics workstation can easily cost five figures in mid-1980s dollars, and cheaper alternatives such as the MacIvory boards and OpenGenera on DEC Alpha machines weren't released until later in Symbolics' history. Interlisp-D originally ran on Xerox workstations that also cost five figures, though it was later ported to the Sun SPARC architecture (though I have no idea what Interlisp-D licenses cost). Both Symbolics Genera and Interlisp-D missed out on the open source revolution of the 1980s and 1990s. To this day Symbolics Genera remains proprietary, though thankfully Interlisp-D was made open-source recently (https://interlisp.org/). There are open-source Common Lisp compilers such as SBCL, but they are not full-fledged operating systems.

Part of the reason why Unix took off had less to do with Unix's design and had more to do with Unix's lower costs. DOS and Windows had even lower costs than Unix before open source Unix clones appeared, and they were (and, in the case of Windows, still is) widely used. While Unix's design characteristics certainly play a role, we shouldn't ignore the impact of cost and licensing.

In an alternative universe, imagine had RMS had set out on building a FOSS Lisp operating system (GNU Emacs doesn't count) instead of building GNU. RMS was a Lisp hacker at MIT who started the GNU project due to his frustrations with the proprietary Lisp machine companies like Symbolics that were spun off from MIT's AI lab, so it's not unlikely to think about an alternative situation where RMS decided to clone a Lisp OS instead of cloning Unix. I wonder if a community could have rallied behind an open source Lisp OS to be a challenging contender to Unix back in the 1980s?
I don't assume malice, but I see that a lot of commenters interpreted it that way. My guess is this has to do with the divisive nature of the mainstream media vs alternate media debate? My comment should not be interpreted in that context, I assume both sides don't add sources out of self-interest. They don't want to make it too easy for their competitors to comment on the same news. The barrier is low but it's there. I put it between citation marks because I wasn't really sure what to call it.

I think you also raise an important point regarding culture being a major factor, I agree with that point. Journalism is different from science, so I do not expect the same rigour but I do expect to see the main source in an easily accessible way if possibld (usually a link).
Wheat Prices
Claims on wheat prices were made some months ago, yet wheat is still trending more than inflation. Is the wheat picture bigger than just Ukraine problems? Are there droughts and other issues plaguing accessibility to wheat?
Manufacturers will love that their products break down and require replacing more often
Then maybe don't invest in such funds or follow the index if you don't like it? There are tens of thousands of other investments to take your money to if you think it's a bad idea, and there are a whole lot of other indexes that evaluate the value of a business based upon different criteria.

"Highest return" can mean different things to different people. Some people want to turn a quick buck while others want to invest in something that will turn a large return over a large period of time.

Perhaps you really just enjoy "virtue signaling" that you like taking risks, but there are a variety of investment strategies. Time will tell of ESGs are an efficient mechanism for the goals they are seeking. But suggesting that we should ban investment strategies that are different than yours doesn't instill a lot of confidence in the soundness of trying to turn a big dollar quick.
They're dirtier than natural gas power plants, however. (and the pollution that they do create can be particularly nasty) We're better off in terms of emissions-per-watt by burying the plastic and using natural gas instead.
The marketing team of my previous company created a whole fake price plan that never existed in the code base. Somehow it works to drag acquisition, but it’s a pain in the ** to explain why it’s not as easy as updating webflow ;)
Have also been considering Paddle. Would love to know what you found it's missing?
I was thinking the same. Worst case scenario with a solution like this one is that these organisms get into the wild, gain more mutations, and then rapidly release a large volume of carbon, currently sequestered as plastic, into the atmosphere. Or, plastic-tropic organisms used as a weapon, sprayed over cities, etc.
Yes , it does. Burning plastic without somehow accounting for that is a terrible idea.
it's more that the intention does not matter compared with its effects. good intention is a defense used to deflect attention from systemic effect

This is what I’m doing, but then you don’t get a clean history in Stripe, which is annoying to folks (e.g. to our support team). So, it’s something I’m thinking about changing.
Isn't the problem with plastic burning the fact that most plastic waste is actually contaminated with food/non-plastics that burn differently?
Which part is false? There is at least one part of that statement that is absolutely true.
> the people behind that system don't give a damn about you the user

Or at least, the people buying the system don't have the technical ability to create it, and the contractors who won the lowest bid to create it don't care about anything other than having the project's completion signed off on.

Perhaps plastic should start being compressed into bricks for long term storage that does not lead to leaching.
They also started blocking people with Russian IP Adresses from downloading it. https://forum.qt.io/topic/134724/unlock-qt-in-russia
This is actually the "best" answer for our plastics problem. There was an NPR/Planet Money podcast on it recently here: https://www.npr.org/2020/09/11/912150085/waste-land and there are plenty of other sources that all agree on this premise. I have worked in waste management a few years ago and recycling is not the long-term solution.
> Honestly, I think I'd prefer pseudocode that I can read to understand the idea and then work in my language of choice rather than C.

What stops you from understanding the idea by reading C? It's a tried-and-true language whose K&R version fits entirely in an easy to read ~180pg book which has real world applications, unlike pseudocode.

Is there a way to mitigate this, or make use of the waste gasses?
I used to work with the FBI fingerprint system IAFIS.

It was a very complete system at the time and used in many situations for background checks for everything from LEOs to day care centers for cheap. We also had hard requirements around 99% of responses had to come back within 10 minutes.

Anyway, that's changed quite a bit the last few years..

More and more State & Local stopped participating in the system -
https://www.washingtonpost.com/crime-law/2021/12/09/fbi-poli... - so huge swathes of data just isn't available anymore. Then more DAs are choosing to prosecute fewer crimes and negotiating down serious crimes that would trigger alerts (usually felonies) to lesser crimes so the data that is there may not be representative of the situation. And finally, the overall crime statistics are being characterized as "racist" so the FBI is getting more cautious about what they release and how.

So.. less data, incomplete/wrong data, and less access to the data.

All of those mean "competitors" have room to operate.
I posted this on the Reddit thread too but:

Yeah I was through 4 or 5 “steps” before salary was discussed. And I ultimately think that’s why they didn’t move forward.

Lesson learned. I wasted quite a bit of applying, doing an initial interview, a second interview with a teammate, doing weird aptitude tests that had me comparing images, a personality test, a coding test while a manager watched, and finally talking to an hr person about salary requirements.
> The explanation is that Python features heavy dynamism

JavaScript too, any function can be dynamically changed at any time, but its function calls are 30x faster (roughly, I measured it just now with a for loop doing 100 million function calls, which took 0.5s in JS, 15s in python)

This is a realistic scenario if you want to run e.g. a custom statistics function on a large array in python so it can be annoying (and yes numpy can do things but that's no reason to keep the main language encouraging less readable code where you don't define separate functions)
I remember seeing snormal on here a while ago. I played around with it briefly because the idea was refreshing, but ended up not coming back for a while because the scrolling was really painful in Firefox on Android.

The premise really resonates with me. I've often struggled with maintaining a presence on any social media, and barely ever post because everything'_s normal_.
I heard something very similar from some of his very close (ex-)colleagues, so it appears to be true :)
The benefit of ML over long-standing algos like kalman filtering for integrated navigation systems is they can can give you the occasional surprise when an unexplored edge case happens. People like surprises.
Having children or grandchildren is even more of a reason to be interested in research that prevents the diseases of aging (longevity). When you get the diseases of aging that precede death, like Alzheimer’s or cancer or heart disease or just simply becoming frail, your children and grandchildren suffer greatly. What is narcissistic about not wanting your children and grandchildren to watch you suffer one or more of the extremely predictable diseases of aging and perhaps need to stop their own lives to become your caretaker?

Longevity research has never been about extending the sick part of life. It’s about avoiding the sick part of life for as long as possible.
Yes. I see quite a few three letter accounts advocating for burning plastic. Let them throw some in their fireplace of the chimnea while relaxing with the family and see how that goes.
Read the article: apparently the good news is that the "Send to Kindle" tools are announced to support .epub file extensions directly soon. The article makes the assumption that "Send to Kindle" will be reformatting .epub files to Kindle native formats and uses that assumption as the basis to rant about the Kindle native formats, but anecdata (such as the USB support and file rename workaround) again suggest kindles already support ePub well enough and that assumption may not be valid and "Send to Kindle" may not wind up reformatting ePub files (much).
That's the real question. It doesn't "eliminate" anything. It turns it into - what? Organic sludge? Is that useful for something?

Plastic bottle recycling into new plastic pellets works quite well. Southern California has a huge plant doing it. Non-bottle plastic is more of a problem but less of the volume.
I've never given a second thought about what the etymology of "spectral" in spectral decomposition is.
Somewhere in the back of my mind (and I guess many students of physics have the same notion) subconsciously i assumed it originates from eigenvalues of the Hamiltonian determining the atomic spectral lines . But I've never followed up on it and actually looked it up .
> One time, me, a noob, accidentally deleted files in the PG data directory. No noe! But PG had open handles to them so they aren't reclaimed by the FS and I was able to pg_dump. Not a production system but the loss would've been "big". Just saying, PG itself is very resilient.

That isn't a PG thing; Linux[1] ext3/4 does not actually delete files (or directories) that are still in use. Only the name is removed. The file itself remains until the last open handle to it is closed.

"I definitely think there's an advertising bubble and it's popping."

Pretty entitled freshly-minted BS degree, no doubt. Goes from wanting to work for Canonical to wanting to "punish" them by telling them to stuff it and then posting a screed to reddit -- all from just seeing the application questionnaire.

My understanding is that incinerators don't just release the output. The exhaust is pumped back into the system and dealt with somehow. The extent to which the release is "dealt with" is the tricky part.
The oldest computer accounting system was likely LEO - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LEO_(computer), online in 1951 and doing accounts probably by 1955, if not earlier.

I believe it predate operating systems by a few years. (Wikipedia claims the first OS was the GM-NAA I/O, produced in 1956.)

Can't help but wonder if this is a solution searching for a problem. Landfills already have protections against leeching into the surrounding environment. And we aren't going to plausibly run out of space for landfills in the foreseeable future (images from Wall-E notwithstanding). Isn't plastic basically inert once it gets to a landfill anyway? Even if it takes centuries to break down, who cares?

IMO we'd be better off focusing research on reducing the waste rather than improving disposal.

Cases are high, deaths are not. Please go look at some graphs. If you print them off, then mark with pencil the dates when lockdowns occurred in your region, you will probably notice you're mistaken more generally.
Kubernetes lets you override the dockerfile with "command" and "args".
Always try to be explicit especially in nonstandard/exceptional application images. A shared base image with known proven startup knowledge that is used throughout all applications is easier to manage and more transparent. In more pluriform environments just submit and ensure the configuration of your pod/deployment is as explicit we possible.

I simply wanted to show the connection between the name Parmigiano Regiano and the area it comes from.

Modena is my goto place when I am travelling to stop eating and I've lived in Bologna for two years, the whole Emilia Romagna is one of my favorite places in Italy.

Isn't the trend in the industry to rely more heavily on nurse practitioners and physician assistants instead of MDs as primary care providers?

IIRC individual fibers are terminated every Nkm at a repeater. Not that it wouldn't be spendy, but I would also conjecture replacing a segment of fixed length instead of just gluing the ends back together might still be a reasonably strong constraint on unplanned repair cost (and also probably providing a pretty strong lower constraint as well--notably higher than solid core).

Nooooooooo! FairEmail is an excellent piece of FLOSS software, and it should not die!

That said, it seems like the author is mainly brought down by negativity in reviews. I understand that absolutely. Although I'm happy that WFH had normalized, there are people, people I know, that just don't jibe with over text. I need regular meets (VC will do) to be assured they are not insensitive assholes. If I wouldn't have that, I could not go on in my work. Apparently I am sensitive. With these reviews there's both a volume and a total lack of face time that I could not deal with. Well, by not ever looking at it. Sure, the Play Store gives reach, but I don't think that's what the author needs right now. People just don't work very well over IP, and I shut down channels occasionally because I must place my mental health before all. Maybe that can work for M66B too.
