Yes, video and screenshare works but audio does not. I have never succeed on that in Linux. Some component is missing.

Digital Services Act: EU's new rulebook for digital services
All the things built on top are limited to the things their creators decided were needed. They'll never be as powerful as git itself.

I want a successor to git that provides as much or more power but with the intuitive usability.

Is that so much to ask? (I joke)
I can understand that concern which is why I referenced a post of his that is copied straight from publicly available NHTSA complaints.

I just hope they have the overall story arc figured before filming, something Babylon 5 nailed down to a t back the day even if I think DS9 aged better for re-watching purposes. If they did not, or even worse stop following a consistent inner-world logic and rules (or not establishing one in the first place), the LotR series might just end as GoT or TWD... Which would really be a damn pity
It's been over for three years now, one of those years where everyone was inside for a long time, and was very hotly debated on social media. I think it meets the criteria for not needing a spoiler warning
You are right about this.

One of the visible signs of an unrecognized (and therefore, unresolved) dilemma is oscillation between two poles.

I got this from the late Eli Goldratt and the problem-solving tools he created. One of those tools is the "Evaporating Cloud," which is a way to visualize a dilemma of some kind.

I'd suggest that there is an unresolved dilemma here: Should we rent or own data centers?

Over a period of years or decades, you can watch these things flip-flop between two extremes.

It's interesting to me that this dilemma is kind of like a specialization (in OO terminology) of a more generic dilemma, which might be something like: "In general, do we want to own or rent the things we need to run our business?"

If your turn your head a bit, close your eyes a bit and squint, you can see how a dilemma like this can apply to things like "What should be our policy regarding employees vs. contractors? Should we try to hire and retain over a long period of time, or should we rent the people we need to get the job done and release them as soon as we are done with them?"

The overall point is that whenever you see flip-flopping between two poles, think "Unrecognized dilemma."

Sorry if this is vague.
We used hg when I started at my current position.

From a developer stand point the experience was better but all the tooling and integrations are git based so we switched.
And that's how Nintendo pulled their coup in the US games market.

They still had all those mediocre (as in long in the tooth) arcade games but also original games (full RPG and complex strategy) more like computer ports.

The dark horse contenders were the actual "general purpose" computers. That worked out well but took quite a bit longer to play out than the consoles in gaming popularity. Less accessible I suppose.
Eh. I don’t buy it. So many people think it’s smarter to be cynical. I don’t. Anime does this all the time ever since evangelion. So many mangakas crawling over each other to show how much more depraved humanity really is than the last.

I haven’t seen the boys so I can’t comment on it specifically but I would ask, is it really “realistic” or is it just cynical?
I mean, Microsoft should know that the browser's user agent is untrustworthy and should be using feature detection. They did do this on purpose, and it's a bad practice in the web industry.

What exactly does "far right" mean in this context? Where do we draw the boundary between "soft right", "hard right", "far right", etc? I'm not sure if you and I would draw those lines in the same places.

You speak of "ethno-nationalism" in association with the "far right" – do you mean to say that ethno-nationalism is "far right", or only "extreme" forms of it?

Does appeasing a group, or being beholden to them, make you a member? Neville Chamberlain famously sought to appease Hitler – while I think his appeasement of Nazism deserves severe criticism, he was no Nazi himself. von Hindenburg and von Papen made Hitler Chancellor because they thought they could manipulate him, only to find out too late that it was really Hitler who was manipulating them – but neither man was a Nazi at the point of making that foolish decision (although von Papen later became one)

You talk about Trump "centering" the "minority" of the Republican base to become the new majority of it – my impressions differ somewhat from yours, but I wonder if there is any objective way to decide whose impressions are more accurate? Is there any objective measure of what constitutes the minority or majority of the "base" at any given time? Any relevant survey data or other quantitative measures?

Yes, some of the best titles have none or just 1 top tier actor at the time: Star Wars (Alec Guinness), West World (Anthony Hopkins), Game of Thrones (Sean Bean), Breaking Bad, The Wire. I'm sure there's other's I can't remember.

Some directors prefer fresh actors for some movies. It
s not necessarily a red flag, but it could be. Time will tell.
> the NIST definition of cloud has now become so much an oversimplification, that it is more often than not unhelpful
I wish I could answer this. I have always had a penchant for any robust versioning system. Even the simple ones (CVS and the like) were amazeballs to me at the time. 20 odd years ago I spent a lot of time with ClearCase (initially Rational, now Rational IBM). I was amazed at what could be done. We had dozens of customers, maybe 3 major and 10-14 minor versions in the field, and probably dozens of "bug fix" or "special customer branches". Oh, and likely 2 or 3 on-going major version dev branches. Somehow, it all worked. If you could describe (by whiteboard or hand-waving) what you wanted to see as your working branch, it could be done. "Give me a view that is exactly what customer x has, but for this directory, give me latest, except for this file...I want that one from customer y" . And blam! The CC guys would make it happen. The magical config spec. I have had to dabble in many other SCMs.. SVN, Git, etc...and they all seemed to be a compromise. Or, just ran out of gas when the going got tough. In my mind, I wish I could argue that ClearCase was where it was at, and the patterns it supported would be wonderful to have today...especially over Git. But I don't know enough to defend the point. All I am saying is that even with enormously complex version scenarios, the damn thing didn't break and we all got our work done.
This parasitic move is intentional and done for several reasons. A brief summary of what I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFxu3Q71NvE
"I feel like the move to larger clinics (at least in the US) over old school one physician offices has standardized the process and made it more bureaucratic."

The cause and effect might be backwards here. Many physicians retired or consolidated as regulations increased, and ghe cost of complying with the regulations increased. For example, we saw a lot of this when digitization of files became mandatory.
I was working for an EHR (electronic health records) software company a few years ago, and we had a presentation by a doctor. He was around 60-70 years old, and he was talking about his experience with our EHR.

He said "before EHR, I would look at the patient while they talked and my hand wrote on a piece of paper. Now, I'm listening to them while typing into a computer. I used to have at least one patient cry a day, now I can't remember when someone last cried."

Doctors know it's feels crap, it feels crap for them too, but they do it because it saves them a bunch of hours and mistakes every single day. We need a better EHR experience, though.
> France tried repeatedly (for their own benefit but thats a given) to arm EU. Germany was comfortable so they turn it down (or at least hide behind US opposition).

It wasn't Germany blocking an EU wide army but the UK. Maybe you should get your facts straight.

Typically no, because higher energy collisions exist naturally with cosmic particles, so we would have probably observed some of these stable particles by now. But in practice they could be rare and hard to detect.

The purpose of the sticks and stones saying is to prevent disproportionate physical responses to verbal insults.

You are justified in needing to use violence to stop someone from attacking you with sticks and stones because those cannot be mentally shrugged off, but it is better to walk away from words being said to you, since you can mentally shrug them off.

A lot of those are actually pirated/modified installs of Windows. I think its called Tomato Windows or something like that? I forget, but its incredibly prevalent in China.
>What made the ending bad in that series?

For me, the ending seemed very scripted, very boilerplate, very forced, very unimaginative. It seemed like the writers were in the contract longer than they wanted too and they were just "phoning it in."
Who would buy this?

How could anyone possibly make money off this data set?

I could understand if the Chinese government would pay for it to avoid embarrassment but making the sale public kinda voids that.
Yes, Home Assistant works perfectly with KNX. I have been running it for about half a year now and did not have any issues. To control DALI devices, you need a KNX/DALI gateway. But I think all homes with KNX and DALI will have one, otherwise you could not control your lights via your switches.

I tried to do a comparison once.

It was approximate, because I didn't have the original images (Or I only had one), but IMO JPEG looks better per pound of bits than dithering. At the same bitrate as their dithered images, it looks a bit crummy, but you can still pick up details that the dithering loses.

They won't admit it's for the aesthetic. If dithering looked as good bit-for-bit as JPEG, independent of aesthetic, nobody would have invented or adopted JPEG.
> They spend the entire time asking questions from a screen, most of which I answered last time, while staring at the computer. It feels more like an interrogation.

It's like dealing with a shitty support script.
Why strange? Others have pointed out plenty of benefits that going with good but lesser known actors brings, so why take on more risk with more famous actors? They don't need them for their brand value in this case.

Amazon would probably like to have the next Orlando Bloom, but doesn't need or want the current Orlando Bloom (or any other famous actor).
Symbolic Artificial Intelligence at Pipedrive
The font rendering in Firefox on macOS (2x dpi scaling) is all "wobbly" - the glyphs are on inconsisent baselines, varying by a few pixels (but only the text at the bottom, not at the top). I suppose this is due to floating point precision/rounding errors, which is interesting to see.

Also, the "elevator" back to the top only takes me about 80% of the way there, which is probably due to something similar.
I can put my phone in my plane later today and host a website from 6 km if it'll work, though mobile antennas don't really aim high so they don't work well at altitude.

Why do you think an interview has to be "fair"? These companies do not even pretend to abide by laws and norms around hiring and firing. They are going to try to see if you are useful, and how willing you are to be abused. If you try to abuse them, it will end poorly.

Let me tell you a story:

I've had a Google interviewer sit inches from my face and scream at me during what I later figured out was supposed to be a courtesy interview.

Was it "fair" that someone raised their voice when I asked to pause and think about their question, and then I flubbed every other interview that day?

Hint: No. I went to Tide House afterwards and joked with a friend I was happy to have made it out of the infamous "Google Gangbang", as folks used to term the multi interviewer sessions scheduled with folks who'd published at the conference I was at, with all my holes intact, since they were so notorious for having at least one interviewer behave in a manner that would get you maced, tazed, or shot if you interacted that way back home in Appalachia.

So let me be clear: You will never get a job if instead of trying to plan for antisocial behavior in the interview, you yourself engage in it.

Research the company, not the interviewer, and don't get cute...

(Unless you want to make a show of calling them out as a spy and you're interviewing with the feds. Apparently having someone straight up tell your staff "I'll fill out an SF-86, I just wanna make sure that information only goes to the US government" can trigger an investigation that gets several people fired, but somehow damage your career despite being an incredible patriotic, though admittedly asshole-ish move.)
I came here to say this.

A technical manager has also the downsides of a developer like bad estimations, i.e. "This would just take me 1 day".

Also, hard to find a good technical person that has good people skills.
The level of intensity of a workout IS one of the basics.

Sure, while doing something is better than doing nothing, whether you push the muscles to exhaustion or not, or whether you push the cardio to max throughput or not makes a vastly outsized difference vs mere total time or effort expended.

The details of how &how much you get to that intensity are admittedly details ,but to dismiss the whole concept as unnecessary is, well, unnecessary ignorance.

> Is it disingenuous to tell kids sticks and stones may break my bones but names can never hurt me?

That phrase's famous usage is as a way to portray self-respect and non-violent defense of oneself after being verbally attacked.

In that context, it still has value and is not disingenuous to provide to children.

From what I've read, the show is basically guaranteed to run it's course which is 5 seasons. They probably gave the show runners some degree of long-term investment. They likely spent a ton on set design and character design to setup events that won't air for a few years.
First ... it doesn't matter what distro you pick - they're all "good" [enough]

Second ... unless you're planning to learn cybersecurity, pentesting, etc, why would you want a security-focused distro like Kali?

Third ... while they'll all run whatever desktop environment you want, it's probably going to be a lot easier to install a distro wherein you select the experience you want in the process

Fourth ... go with what you know ... unless you really want to learn a new distro, just run what you know :)

Mind that if you'd ever wanted to integrate again, this means buying land, planning infrastructure, building it, planning, obtaining and setting up hardware and software, hiring, training, defining and testing procedures, etc, as you're starting from zero again – and all this while the costs, which forced you to consider this move, are piling up. Odds are, you'll never do this and cloud providers will know this. The comparative costs are now not those of running your own infrastructure, but those of setting it up (again).

Most public companies already outsource their executive management to Wall St analysts.

I think the reality in this case is that the cloud providers are little different than the incumbent (ie IBM or some other dead platform). Mainframe is a sole source solution, and IBM is always trying to extract their own pound of flesh as they manage that business down to zero.

At scale, you’re better off managing a handful of suppliers (probably Microsoft, Oracle, Azure, IBM) than dealing with one, and figuring out how to sustain the business as the workforce literally dies off. Nobody with half a brain is getting mainframe skills.

I’m not a fan of FedEx, but they seem to be a company well aware of its limitations and able to take action to correct. For example, they went to “outsourcing” the last mile delivery to independent contractors first when they figured out (almost too late) that e-commerce needed ground shipping. They sort of did Uber, except they didn’t have the ability to just break the law.
It depends on the level of narcicism. If they're nontechnical but can read stuff like blogs and 1 pagers and act rational, great. If they use being "nontechnical" as an excuse to misunderstand on purpose, they tend to be insufferable narcissists to avoid at all costs.
3. You cannot rewrite history unlike git. Hence the name.

Same here! I read the headline and thought "isn't that what Docker is used for?" As soon as i opened the article I saw the author and I had the same idea, even down to using ufw-docker. I have individual ports scripted to open with ufw-docker after docker-compose is run.

I know docker isn't the best tool for every task, but I very much enjoy how it allows me to treat my laptop and my cloud servers as almost identical machines and compartmentalize my services.
That's because they aren't called "anime", they are "cartoni animati". You are a 40 year old Italian and never heard of Cristina D'Avena? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cristina_D%27Avena) She'd literally fill stadiums with her concerts all over Italy, she sung most Italian "anime" songs (sigle dei cartoni animati) from the 80s/90s/00s (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_theme_songs_recorded_b...).

When I was a kid in the 90s and 00s our TV program was always full of "cartoni animati" (telemontecarlo, which later became MTV I think, and also on Italia uno). I don't think there exists *any* Italian that grew up in the 80s/90s that doesn't know shows like Sailor Moon, Power Rangers (not anime, but still), Sanpei, Ken il Guerriero (with one of the best non-Japanese openings *ever* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Crm94eMuPE), Holly e Benji (Capt Tsubasa), Lady Oscar, Mila e Shiro, Dragon Ball, Ranma 1/2, Nadia e il mistero della pietra azzurra, Mazinga, E' quasi magia Johnny (Orange Road), Lupin, etc. These were all parts of the communal zeitgeist when I was in elementary school in the 90s, and my sister who's a bit older than me (about your age I imagine) also had the exact same experience (we often watched them together).
Do you have context for this?
