As I complained in another comment... OpenLDAP configuration is stored in OpenLDAP itself, so you need to know about OpenLDAP in order to start learning about OpenLDAP.

It just doesn't make sense and I feel you pain.

One great resource I've found about LDAP (in general) is https://www.zytrax.com/books/ldap/ ("Ldap for rocket scientists"). I remeber spending a couple of week(end)s going through that, and things started to make sense.

However, again, there's no real reason for all this to be so complicated...
My god. Can you imagine the uproar that would cause in the financial industry, where they can easily charge 20% interest rates for folks with poor credit, because they need a car to survive?

In other words, it will never happen. It'd be awesome, but it's a dream at best.
You've just demystified a large potential demand source for this thing to me.
That must be quite frustrating. FWIW, I have had the opposite experience - Calibre's always just worked. My various ereaders have been detected automatically, and plugins generally have worked without hassle. For me it's a been a great, reliable piece of software.
I am curious, how does this compare to say RAM usage on a smartphone or a tablet browser?

Is the newsfeed leaking mem, or is it just 50GBs over time?

You are confusing intelligence, effort, education and opportunities.
It's trivial to reload openldap data from ldif, so you can already manage LDAP via Ansible easily enough.
Mobile apps better support their business model:

- Push notifications. Last time I installed the app (to test this) the default notification settings are unreal - literally dozens of push notifications per day. If you change your notification settings in the app to essentially turn off everything Facebook will still send you a few per day as in "Hey, you don't seem to be addicted to the app and use it every hour. Here's a reminder for you to jump back in and get those dopamine hits you're missing." This of course translates to more add views (and potential clicks), more DAUs, etc.

- Greater access to XYZ on mobile. Apple famously cracked down on this a bit but it's still more data.

- Doom scrolling. It's easier for people (and I think they're more conditioned) to swipe endlessly on a mobile device vs scrolling on desktop. Again more add views/clicks, etc.
Would be much more interesting indeed.

Could use sampling and still get reliable estimates?
I like the ligatures (<=, !=, etc.).
thank you I've been playing around with this idea today. Is there a reason that you use M4a instead of converting to something like mp3? Does m4a preserve the chapters or something? Also why do you use m4a instead of m4b?
All of my drives have FDE. I wouldn't have shipped the drives if that wasn't the case (also luckily the issue was that writes only failed on part of the disk so I could wipe the luks metadata section).
> the same thing the Russian government is doing in Ukraine towards Ukrainians.

It is so fun to see how this whole thing was turned upside down.

Just a small advice: when researching this topic and googling for information, consider setting a time limit on before the conflict, before propaganda machines had been turned on at full power.

It is just very insightful to see what people had to say on some matter, before it became politically significant.

The idea that airports (or the transit areas of airports) are somehow extraterritorial and not part of the sovereign territory of the nation where they are located is a popularly-held belief which is entirely untrue. You'll notice that police of the host nation operate in these areas for example. For example, see https://english.elpais.com/elpais/2013/06/27/inenglish/13723... but there are hundreds of sources for this if you search online.
Indeed, when you have to stop at a gas station (for the not-yet-electricfied lawnmower) and it's been six months because you have an EV, you are suddenly shocked at how horrendous the smell of gasoline is.
> Seriously? In the late 1990s, I was in middle school. My grand parents sat me down and told me to work towards a degree that makes a lot of money. They had lists of "typical starting salaries, by college degrees". We picked the top 3, and I started working towards those. I later reassessed and picked the top 1 - Electrical Engineering.

And people from poor and/or rural backgrounds? I only got those discussions because I tested well enough that my future potential was considered a societal matter and educators unrelated to me were brought in to inform both me AND my parents. None of my classmates, siblings, or cousins had that benefit.
I don't think Curiosity and its cousins can tighten down leaky bolts on pipe connections, which is what I think of when the term "maintenance" comes up. The closest we have right now in that vicinity is Spot from Boston Dynamics, and it basically only acts as a universal monitoring tool to go yell at a human to fix things.

I guess what I'm saying is that robots can identify problem points, but at the current time can't actually troubleshoot or resolve those problems. Those are really difficult problems to solve.

I found papers examining excess mortality and the comparison between Sweden and similar countries - and while it's somewhat surprising that it appears to be the case that it's only among those aged 70 and over that higher levels of excess mortality have been observed in Sweden, it certainly doesn't show restrictions weren't justified or effectual. Aside from the lives lost (plenty of 70 yos have another decade or so of productive and fulfilling life to lead), the impact on healthcare workers having to deal with the extra load of hospitalisations etc. can't just be dismissed out of hand (my partner worked as a nurse occasionally attending to covid patients in aged care homes here and despite our case numbers staying relatively contained, the impact was traumatic for many of her co-workers who were fulfilling that role full time). Further, it's still too early to be certain covid among younger people won't affect excess mortality in the coming decades. It's already the case that a percentage of those who survived nasty bouts of covid are suffering reduced quality of life as a result.
Indeed, the hardest part is inoculating without introducing contaminants that will out-compete the mycelium (typically trich).

However, this is relatively simple and cheap to do at home — especially using a technique called uncle Ben’s tek. As it happens, pre-packaged rice is the perfect sterile environment for mycelium growth.

Once successfully inoculated, it’s basically a matter of mixing the mycelium with substrate (wood chips or coir depending on the strain) in a container with a lid that allows minimal airflow (a plastic tub for example) and waiting.

The process is really quite simple, and I’ve harvested kilograms of mushrooms with an initial outlay of around $30. Once you have mushrooms, you have spores, and the recurring cost is only substrate (and uncle Ben’s bags or grains, jars, pressure cooker if you want to sterilise them yourself).
Doesn’t the increase in degrees indicate that there is social mobility?

Why "Build Something" Is Good But Incomplete Advice For Learning
I put 64gb ram in a librem 14. Cost around $200. The only thing I feel is lack of GPU. The hardware all works great. (The librem build itself is meh, but it all works perfectly with qubes without any tinkering.)
I got my start in the software industry in that building, too. I was an intern at Rose-Hulman Ventures in 2005, building tax administration software for Indiana counties in C# 1.0 WinForms with Visual SourceSafe and Microsoft SQL Server. VSS required you to take a lock on a file to be able to edit it (there’s no merge ability) so I spent a full afternoon one day separating our data access layer class into partial classes so it would be spread across multiple files, and more than one developer could write a stored procedure wrapper at a time! Likewise, our bug database also only had enough licenses for one or two people to be logged in at a time, so we printed out our tickets to work on them. Learned a lot that summer, especially the fundamentals of databases and software architecture. Also learning C# that early gave me a ton of experience and willingness to work with C# again in my next few jobs.

I think it emphasizes the importance of the results - it's for everyone, not just scientific types.

Back in 1964, President Lyndon Johnson "expressed interest" in the first close-up pictures NASA got from the Moon on Ranger 7.
The freshly developed images were loaded onto a plane and the President got a private briefing with the head of NASA on the very same day.

Unfortunately, there is a scourge of PDFs that download the content after you open them, and have interactive features that should be on websites rather than PDFs.

The BSA efiling system has mandatory forms for every bank to fill out, and if they say they say the browser's pdf viewer is no-go and you must configure adobe, that is what you will do. Now every bank in the USA has a hard dependency on adobe reader and a gpo that disables the web browser's built-in pdf reader. Thanks for that, fincen.

Thing I hear from a lot of software engineers from the time-frame of 1980-2000 is how much software engineering - to engineers at least - was about the craft. It was all about the craft of making good software. People invested real energy into trying to do it right, and treated it as such. This is of course likely colored by experience and "rose tinted" glasses, however, I think we as an industry have let this go, especially since the rise of bootcamps. It just isn't about the craft anymore, its all about "hustle". There is some truth to the fact that engineering in this time there was more caring about it as a craft, caring about performance, caring about shipping quality etc.

I like thinking about things as a craft, I don't always like the "hustle" aspect that is pervasive now, it guarantees shipping too early and never taking quality & craftsmanship seriously, I feel like.

I want to work somewhere again that sees engineering software as a craft again.

The ban is on financial institutions sending money to and from online gambling sites

With an newer exception for intrastate gambling

And an even newer exception for “games of skill” (sports fantasy stuff simply winning challenges to prohibitions)

Many other kinds of gambling sites use a seperate company for payments or just find a friendly bank to break the law

the extensive library of plugins allows you to do things not possible with just command line tools or the file manager. But of course the basics are just awareness of metadata, metadata editing, and grouping different file formats of the same book together in one entry. Using an app that is aware of the metadata conventions of the specific media files you are managing is indispensable to me.

It's a modified FSX engine. So yes, about the same vintage as BF1942.

You just described why placing solar panels in Chicago is a bad idea.

Real world grid scale solar farms are placed in sunny areas that don't get regular cloud cover or even snow like that. Washington State and Chicago are terrible locations for solar, but moving electricity is surprisingly cheap. https://blog.solarenergymaps.com/2014/05/potential-solar-ene...

That said, cloudy days reduce but don't eliminate output, so as excess capacity is added the minimum output keeps increasing. A hypothetical green hydro/wind/solar grid would have significant excess solar capacity the same way the current grid adds redundant conventional powerplants.

as a home mushroom cultivator I can tell you that this device is pretty much the Juicero of the mushroom world. from what i'm reading this device accomplishes nothing that one can't do with a homemade monotub composed of a 32 quart storage tote, a spray bottle and some polyfill. if you are interested in growing edible gourmet mushrooms look up a local mushroom farm in your area, most of them sell blocks that you can fruit at home.

Stallman has "prominent outspoken contrarian" syndrome: he's made the unfortunate conjecture that, because his contrarian ideas have been validated in one field (where he is a relative expert), his contrarian ideas and behavior in unrelated areas (in which he is not an expert) must also be valid. It turns out, not only are his other ideas based in fantasy, they are actively antisocial and damaging to the people and institutions around him (some of which he has played an outsized role in building).

Fallout 3 best example.
I bought the CD from the UK, shipped to Germany.
Disc was defective.
With tricks I managed to install it, barely.
Returning wasn't an option.
Years later I see it on Steam and buy it, to find out it's the German version, no English text or audio and censored too.
Valve didn't have a refund policy back then. So I threw away money because of this.
I them downloaded the Gog version off the internet. I already paid for this game, twice.
Another reason is the 2 hour no refund policy.
If I spend a lot of money for a virtual product and those 2 hours are absolutely not enough to see if I like a game or not, I expect a lot more time than 2 hours to be able to evaluate if a game is worth the purchase.
That's why I download a pirate copy 1st because most games are not worth the money. Most games are lazy, optimized for marketing and the 2 hour period and after that the quality drops hard.
If there are no pirate releases I won't buy it.
Guardians of the Galaxy for instance. 60 eur. Recently cracked. I'm glad I didn't give in and spend 60 eur for this. I played it for 2 days and uninstalled.
Warhammer Total War 3.
Bought it from a Hong Kong shop.
It was released unfinished and I bought it ONLY because I bought the 1st and 2nd iteration on Steam. I don't have all the DLCs.
TCO of the trilogy including the DLCs which are for the most part nothing but reskins with minor changes is over 250 eur.
For what's essentially one game.
Last time they got my money. That's a scam in my book.
I'm still waiting on them to release the grand map called Immortal Empires.
It will eventually get cracked.
And then I'll download the while thing including all DLCs. I already paid 190 eur for the 3 and some DLCs. My freaking 10 year old Samsung Pro 840 SSD cost that much and still serves me well. It's a lot of money. No one was interested in playing part 1 once part 2 was out, likewise no one will be interested in parts 1+2 once they release IE.
Fool me once...
It's based on an old version of MS Flight Simulator from around 2009 or 2010 or so.

The graphics aren't any worse than most multi-million dollar full flight simulators used for pilot training. Even better compared to some of the slightly older simulators.
"Floatovoltaics". The first place to put solar farms is floating on reservoirs and other calm water.
> I ask myself: "Do you even like software?

In many cases, no. It's an adequate tool for some task I need to accomplish. And while some updates are genuinely useful and appreciated, others are regressions or just a change that I now have to get used to and which IMO doesn't make the software a better tool for the task at hand.

Lifetime TCO is the appropriate metric. That's life of the car, not how long a single owner has it.

Median lifetime is 19 years. At 12,000 miles/year that's 228,000 miles.

They are indeed like that, although it is relatively rare for digital content to be completely delisted in a way where you can't even re-download existing purchases.

I know Apple in particular traditionally had/has a method to back up your movie purchases physically to your hard disk, but that is probably a little blurrier in the world of tvOS and iOS.

For iTunes music, Apple has always stated that music storage and backup is the customer's responsibility, that re-downloads are essentially provided as a courtesy.
>Testing was also severely curtailed.

This is a general trend in (at least North American) education systems. An approach I liken to thermometer removal as a means of combating fever. If outcomes aren't measured, then are failed approaches at education reform really failed? How do you know? It's ingenious in a self-defeating kind of way.
You'd still need to name specific examples. All the way from the NES to the current gen, you can name examples of both big teams and small teams / individuals having some form of success.

The coding got easier per content unit and the skill floor is lower, yes. But the ceiling is still high, the demands are far higher and you'd need to be far more skilled in various disciplines to deliver the equivalent of a few decades ago. Those hours you gained no longer coding? You better have spent them figuring out how to do VFX, some decent pixel/line art, or make some stellar sound tracks. If not, maybe be able to do marketing or know how to make your game function in multiplayer online.

>And "frameworks" weren't even a thing.

Using virtually the same frame across a wide variety of processes is the very definition of a framework, even if it isn't a software framework in the modern sense. Many big games on the NES and SNES were built off of one another, you can tell by the similarities between developers and their work. Square being the most notorious.
> Catch up refers to being at or around a historical moving average. Is it that complicated to understand?

This is the statement, and while it's needlessly condescending I don't find it dismissive at all, it rebuts the point rather concretely. We have measurements that are specifically targeted at measuring education level. This is what "catching up" refers to. Those measurements might be bad, but I disagree strongly that they are meaningless as we have strong indicators that show the measurements do predict real-world success. GPA, for example is positively correlated with adulthood income by quite a lot.

Maybe these are self-fulfilling measurements? Hard to prove one way or another, but they certainly measure things that society has proven they care about.
