There is a nasty, confusing mix of Heimdal and MIT Kerberos tools, bind and Samba internal dns, winbindd and sssd, the realm command and the net command and the samba-tool command and a million outdated howtos in between, fighting with tools that are editing configuration under you. And no standardized management tool, LDAP with its text based but unusable interface and different, opaque ways of storing machine credentials.

Creating a domain on a Samba domain controller is not too difficult if you follow the documents. But choosing the right way to join a client to the domain and then using SPNs? Synchronized uids? User management? I haven’t found it to be easy at all.

Rust code can still panic and unwind at runtime. There's some ongoing work on supporting guaranteed-not-to-panic code for very specific uses (similar for guaranteed-not-to-leak, which is a related problem), but it's a long way off and will not be applicable to anything that must interact with the system in any way.

"The conservatory" is fine in English if the speaker has good reason to assume the listener would know which conservatory was being talked about, no different to any other educational institution. OTOH legal scholars only ever aspire to "the bar" (it's a metonym) and it's only ever "the school of hard knocks".
Of course "school" on its own (or if only qualified by an adjective like "high" or "night" or "law") is unusual because it often sounds unnatural to use an article before it when describing your attendance there.
It could have documented the "issues" and let the bot operate unlobotomized.

I actually tune my C string slightly sharp for this reason!
Yes exactly, and one would intonate it slightly differently by ear depending on what role the note has in the current harmony is the idea.

Presume a base note of A is being played and the violin plays a C# functioning as the major third of an A major chord. The ear would want to play the C# justly intonated to the root note A, or maybe a compromise somewhere between equal temperament and just intonation.

See for example https://music.stackexchange.com/questions/113812/violin-tuni...

there's a lot of nuance. A lot of playing it by ear. :)
fwiw, namecheap also supports FIDO2.

Looks nice and it's open source. What is your business model?
tl;dr: The notation system predates the modern, commonly-used 12-Tone Equal Temperament, for which there are (at least two) ways to describe any note within the (12-Tone) octave, either by sharps (D sharp) or by flats (E flat). In 12-TET, there are exactly twelve notes in the octave, and sharps and flats can be said to "overlap".

In earlier temperament systems, these notes may have been distinct (or in some cases unavailable), as the relationships between notes were based on non-equal, if not more mathematically perfect, ratios.
I tried using a CSI driver with Nomad (AWS) and AFAIK you have to pre-create the EBS volumes? I couldn't figure out how to spin them up on demand.
On a physical piano you have to make these tuning compromises.

A computer generated piano performance could pretty easily pick versions of each note that are in harmony with the other notes played at that moment.

I wonder if that would be worth doing? Has it maybe already been done?
No, no human activity is free of issues.

But historically when the world was smaller, people writing papers were more likely to "speak the same language," have experiences in common that fostered clear communication, etc.

Yeah this kind of framing always rubs me the wrong way. I don't "dread" manual memory management. Indeed, from a personal standpoint I really like thinking about stuff like that while I'm programming. It's part of the fun puzzle aspect that got me into all this. But as a professional, I know that there is heaps of evidence over many decades that it is unwise for me to indulge this fancy, when working on real systems that real people use and which may be exposed to the internet. I consider it a bummer, but I'm very persuaded that this is unwise for pretty much all of the software I work on.

I can't seem to join the Matrix room linked. Can anyone?
Trying to publish for money without the marketing, editing, audiobook production, cover designing, and reach in bookstores of a major publishing house (or even an indie publishing house) is a huge hustle. It’s a massive pain in the ass. Sometimes writers want to instead focus on doing the writing. (To be clear: this is changing over time. Major labor cuts when the pandemic began weren’t filled in back even though publishing made money hand over fist during the lockdowns. This means they’re running ghost crews and it’s affecting the quality of all of the above I just listed. It’s becoming less and less attractive to go with large trad publishing vs indies or self.)

You’re conflating two issues here: this lawsuit has nothing to do with whether or not publishing houses are censorship. This lawsuit is about whether or not a merger of this size would cause authors to make less money from publishing traditionally because it would reduce the number of bidders for their work.

String players have no choice but to learn equal temperament as the vast majority of the time they're playing alongside other musicians, and it's what modern ears (since the late 18th century) expect to hear. It'd be a rare violinist these days that could actually accurately play something in any sort of intonation based entirely on just intervals.
Note that almost any sort of vibrato is likely to "smother" the pitch difference between equal and just temperaments anyway - e.g. an equal temperament fifth is 2 cents off a natural fifth, but vibrato can cover a 50 to 70 cent range (opera singers often go over 100, which I find unpleasant to listen to personally - it's basically a trill!)

> Swarm is deprecated.

I am yet to see this warning when running any workload on Swarm. Feature complete is not necessarily deprecated, Swarm simply won't get any fancy cloud platform integrations due to hype lying elsewhere instead, yet there has been no official word of an EOL, like: https://www.centos.org/centos-linux-eol/

Of course, one can also argue that with the Mirantis acquisition the writing is on the wall and if you care about maximum hireability, then you should grok Kubernetes as well.

None of that prevents me from also running Swarm in setups where it makes sense (e.g. a step up from Docker Compose, limited resources, not lots of time for DevOps related stuff etc.).

> I bet Nomad has no future and will surrender in the coming years.

I'm not so sure about this, Nomad integrates nicely in the rest of the HashiStack and it seems that there are plenty of large orgs investing in it, even when they don't need something like Consul or other offerings, due to its simplicity and more active development.

Currently this claim could use more of a factual basis, otherwise it ends up sounding like ".NET will kill Java" or "Linux on the desktop will kill Windows" or something of that variety.

> Using anything but k8s in 2022 is not wise.

If you live exclusively in the cloud and use only managed offerings, that may as well be true.

Otherwise it seems like a clear clash between the arguments of "pick the right tool for the job" and "pick whatever is popular and widely supported". In the deployments I've worked with, Docker Swarm is better for the first claim (limited complexity, low resource usage, easy to use) which matters more than the latter (on-prem). Someone else who runs stuff primarily in the cloud might have the opposite takeaway, due to how widely Kubernetes is supported, even despite the technical complexity or resource usage.

That said, personally I think that the K3s Kubernetes distribution is one of the better options for many of the deployments out there: https://k3s.io/

In addition, tools like Kompose can make moving from Swarm to Kubernetes something that would take less than a day: https://kompose.io/ (or you can just use Helm), but until the day where Swarm will get a clear deprecation notice or I'll have a good reason to put a particular project on Kubernetes (as some already are), I'll just stick with Swarm/Nomad.

Of course, if a team/employer tells you to just use technology X, do that. Or better yet, make running your OCI compatible containers someone else's problem.

What is more fundamental to earthly time than the rotation of the earth and its orbit around the Sun. From there it follows that the cycles of the other planets may also be important. I don't see how any of this is arbitrary. Isn't it amazing, for example, that Jupiter's cycle is 12 years and there are 12 lunations in a year? The cycle of Uranus is 84 which is 12 x 7. There's also a subtle mathematical relationship between 12 and 7. 12 = 3 x 4, 7 = 3 + 4. You have to have eyes to see these patterns.
Because most people do check and a scam only occurs if one person doesn’t.

There‘s a large proprietary CMS market, mostly Adobe Experience Manager, Sitecore, EpiServer/Optimizely. There‘s also the more recently risen headless/SaaS content platforms such as Contentful, Sanity, Contentstack, etc. At the bottom end of the market you got Webflow, Wix, and Squarespace.

Wordpress and Drupal do compete but the market is not dominated by open source if you look at more than just the count of websites.

Similar things are true in commerce. Salesforce Commerce, SAP Commerce, Shopify, BigCommerce, and commercetools are all not open source but very sizable businesses.

GIMP is a huge code base primarily in C and GObject. This is not a popular combination.

A lot of potential new stuff used to be held back by the lack of a complete GEGL port. I think the public perception is that it is still the case (it is not).

Long development cycles used to demotivate contributors. You could write a new cool feature, and most users wouldn't see it until 3-4 years later. This has been resolved as well. Since 2.10, stable releases get new features backported from the unstable branch.

Organizationally, there is no structure like a foundation in place to help financing development. It's being talked about in the project for the past few years, no action has been taken yet.

I like how newer languages with a C style syntax have more readable type declaration mechanisms than C (some even Pascal-like to an extent).

But I am not sure what I would prefer in some cases when looking at these new languages.

For example doing some alloc/pointer stuff in Odin is like:

ptr := new(int)
ptr^ = 123
x: int = ptr^
free(ptr)

And in Hare:

let ptr: *int = alloc(123);
let x: int = *ptr;
free(ptr);

Which approach do you prefer, and why?
One major difference between twitter and mastodon is that mastodon doesn't show you popular things you didn't ask for. It doesn't try to show you stuff that you'll maybe think is interesting.

Mastodon is just more or less showing you what you wanted. And it is not addictive this way. It can't fuel mass viral trends and conversations. It has none of the twitter dynamics. I'm not saying that's bad, but I think it means it will never be mass market popular. It's like email vs tiktok, email can't compete with tiktok's sweet features.

IMHO that's an anti-pattern. Why would you run two orchestrators on top of one another? Containers also cause scheduling contention on the vSphere side, on top of the waste of CPU from the virtualisation layer. Unless you're in some very specific circumstances, run your container orchestrator on bare metal when on prem.

I have to be honest and say… I think I would be very frustrated with my spouse if this principle cost us so much potential financial freedom in other parts of our lives.

That’s not to say they shouldn’t do this. That would just be hard for me to swallow!
Several prominent economists at Harvard looked at inflation in countries that did and didn't send out stimulus checks.

The math disagrees: there was going to be high inflation due to the pandemic and the Ukraine war, but stimulus policies accounted for the majority of the damage.

Some strange privacy quirks aside, I really hope this is a great success. The United States needs public restrooms. However that has to be accomplished, it is becoming a vital need. I was flabbergasted in Germany when I could go to a public restroom for the equivalent of a quarter. Clean, plenty of toilet paper, safe, brilliant. In Paris they have small buildings where you go in and close the door and for a quarter you get 15 minutes.

It’s like trash, give people a trashcan and they will use it. Provide public restrooms and people will use them instead of letting it go on the street

You mean D "three quarter" sharp? The name is a bit illogical because it's really "a sharp and a half", or "sharpened three quarters of a

As it happens I've been trying to work out what exact intervals are used for the two-chord leitmotif heard in "The Sandman" series, I'm not sure if they're regular microtones or just some sort of eerie detuning (surprisingly I can't find any discussion of it online either).
I think a lot of fluency is having someone carry you around 24/7 and talk to you like a baby for a few years. Much of the rest is just having patient people around you for another 3-4 years who will listen to you babble like an idiot and correct you when you're wrong.

I agree that if I could do nothing but spend 3 years in total immersion, I'd probably accumulate an adult-level vocabulary (again, the ramp-up is steep), but I still wouldn't sound like a native at that point, whereas a toddler would sound like a native...but have a toddler vocabulary.
