I think if folks really want the feature of a physical SIM card they have other phone options out there. Maybe it's something available from Samsung or Google? Personally I think going to another country and buying a disposable SIM card and hoping I don't lose my other one and all of these other things is much more of a hassle than something like landing, turning off airplane mode, and then just selecting a plan that works for me all set up with Apple Pay that I could have done before I even get off the plane.

Then again, just using a carrier that has global coverage would be even better.
If you had invested your career in AKKA I would feel your pain and disappointment, and the feeling of being cheated with lofty talk about open source.

But you might still have a strong career in supporting customers who use the commercial version of AKKA, they are the ones who could pay your salary. And you could fork it, and be the leader of that community. Until perhaps you decided to make a commercial fork as well. :-)

I think it is in a way a good sign when an open-source project creates a commercial fork of itself, it shows there are paying customers for the software, it validates its existence.

And I think it shows these guys believe in their product.
Yeah, many people don't get how much the world is tilted in favor of the rich. Look at Jared Kushner's ability to keep failing upwards, for example.

Musk is an amazing hype man; the way he talked Tesla's stock price into the stratosphere gave him incredibly cheap capital. And he was correct in thinking that electric cars were a coming thing that the major auto companies were sleeping on, so he gets points for insight. But now that the majors are in the game, over the next decade we'll see how much Tesla's built on skill vs luck.
We need to plant trees to "ride the wave" of climate change by mitigating ecological collapse and desertification. Carbon sequestration is just gravy; from the estimates I've seen the time scale is, IMO, beyond the scope of our species.
Yes, there are only two story types.

> you should have a pretty high rate of success.

I'm pretty sure that multiple orders of magnitude more people spent their entire lives trying to become extremely rich than the few hundred it worked out for.
>but we cover WAY less for individuals.

That has to be related to the fact that American drugs are sold to a lesser price abroad than at home, right?

In Quebec, cancer treatment is free. Given that even late-stage cancer patients live much longer nowadays, and those treatments are probably expensive as heck, I wonder how we can afford it.
This reminds me: in 2015 I went to Dockercon and one booth that was fun was VMWare's. Basically they had implemented the Docker APIs on top of VMWare so that they could build and deploy VMs using Dockerfiles, etc.

I've casually searched for it in the past and it seems to not exist anymore. For me, one of the best parts of Docker is building a docker-image (and sharing how it was done via git). It would be cool to be able to take the same Dockerfiles and pivot them to VMs easily.
> Apple doesn't believe in software that exposes their users to content outside of their walled garden.

Mobile Safari ordinarily exposes users to content, media, and applications outside Apple's walled garden, namely, the World Wide Web. Apple's walled garden only restricts the platform to protect users' system security and privacy, only allowing the installation of software from Apple's package manager, the AppStore. Apple does not restrict content, media, or applications.

Contrary to popular belief, dissent is a very good thing. If everyone always agreed, there would never be progress. It is only through dissent that things can improve. Further, I, for one, appreciate cynicism, as it often is efficient in communicating valid criticism. But as far as I am aware, no one cares for inaccuracy and most despise bullshit, libel and slander. Carry on.
My grandfather was too smart to use Perl.
Do they have a clear incentive? We're only talking about iPhones purchased in the US, so basically this only affects US tourists or expats in Africa which is going to be a tiny number of potential customers.

It remains to be seen if Android will copy this move, as Apple is even hesitant to roll it out anywhere besides the US. I almost wonder if there is something else motivating it, like pressures to prevent iPhones intended for the US market from being sold overseas.
Why can't you just create oil or coal or similar products?

GP here. I'm not on an unlimited plan, but am on a grandfathered plan that's cheaper per GB compared to what's on the website now.

I've had multiple issues with SpiderOak on backing up with the GUI (sluggish or getting stuck) and creating multiple versions of the same files. While I don't have inside knowledge, the company has said in emails that it's not actively working on ONE backup (this has been the case for the last two or more years). Any changes/improvements on ONE backup are postponed and left to a "we may probably get to it at some point" state. From the website and the marketing emails, it looks like the company is focused on "Space Security" and the CrossClave messaging product for enterprises.
This is a limitation of whatever virtualized instance you're running on, not Firecracker itself. Firecracker depends on KVM, and AWS EC2 virtualized instances don't enable KVM. But not all virtualized instance services disable KVM.

Obviously, Firecracker being developed by AWS and AWS disabling KVM is not ideal :)

Google Cloud, for instance, allows nested virtualization, IIRC.

> I can't get any answers or feedback at all related to my future

> He says my performance is not meeting his expectations

You did get your answer - he wants you out. Performance is most likely an excuse (if he legitimately had issues with your performance but had otherwise no beef with you, he'd give you specific & actionable feedback on how to improve), but either way the point is that your future at that company doesn't exist and you need to plan your next move now.
The phrase used was "The vast majority"

Consider the fact that every major website uses encryption in transit (HTTPS).

Consider how much data Netflix streams to users. Those video streams are encrypted.

I think it's fair to say that the vast majority of encryption is for protecting non-pirated and legal content.
I'm genuinely hoping that after generics, the focus will be on error handling from the survey results

Go devs in a lot of communities love to put their heads in the sand going "error handling is perfectly fine". But it's not fine. Not even close. And I'm very happy there's a lot of demand for some solution in this space. It's just plain too verbose without any of the actual benefits of that verbosity. You don't have compile time checks for errors. Ignoring errors continues to be incredibly easy. The lack of exhaustive switch case statements makes this worse because the compiler doesn't care if you're handling all the expected error types (or unexpected ones). If you simply want to push errors up the chain to be handled elsewhere you're adding 3 lines of code in every function that just does `if err != nil { return nil, err }`. This much verbosity means almost every developer's eyes just glaze over all this code during review which I find to be quite dangerous. If this one thing is adequately fixed in Go, it wouldn't make the language perfect but it would probably make for the most pleasant development experience for building APIs and services
Messages from your dead loved ones
Been working on a website for people to create messages for their loved ones that deliver when they (the message creators) pass away.

Would love for you guys to check it out and give your honest opinions.
The link is careflea.com. The site is secure so feel free to lay it all out.

- If you're a mom or dad, try authoring some words of advice for your kids that would be lost forever if you were to pass away today.

- If you're a spouse, author a message for your other 1/2 to read on your next anniversary.

- Maybe author a thank you to someone who had an impact on you and who you've become.

Thanks y'all,

dual boot. give her a choice. don't force things onto her, even if you think its better. if windows gets slow, she can try linux and see how its faster.

i tried giving my sister linux and she's a technically savvy product manager but she still ended up not liking it. you're wife might be really smart, but if the computer doesn't work correctly she will resent you lol.

and by "correctly" i mean in any way that she doesn't expect or that is contrary to her intuition, which may have been built using windows.

most people generally don't like using computers that much. even i don't as a software engineer.

generally most people use computers as an interface to the web, so the OS is mostly irrelevant. But if the OS gets in her way like once or twice and forces her to install some package or whatever, that's just a little unnecessary friction that makes an already unpleasant experience worse.

can't go wrong with dual booting anyway. if there's any wifi/hardware issues it might be due to linux or she might just blame linux and think its worse even if its better in your eyes and mine.

i mean unless you want to spend extra time doing tech support, which isn't really productive for you, or for her to wait on you when she needs something done.

It can disrupt so much stuff
When the trees are logged for use as lumber, the carbon is sequestered into structures and new trees are typically planted (or allowed to grow) for future logging, capturing carbon in the meantime.
I think that depends on how you became rich and famous.

Error handling remains a challenge, but as satisfaction is high it gets no answer at all. Not a single paragraph, how unfortunate. It hits at my major quip with Go: that I do not trust it's governance structure.

Otherwise I really like using it, and would replace it everywhere python is used.
Cons of cryptocurrency outweigh the Pros. Yet these apps are on the app store.
it's not just the aspect ratio - the perspective is different on curved monitors, because the surface is pointing in a different direction at every point. you have to simulate this with an effect related to the fish-eye lens.
Honest question -- why are you trying to get her to move away from Windows? What benefits for her do you see in doing that?

Perhaps she would be more amenable to a Chromebook? (Depending on what apps she actually needs to run.)
As someone who's tried to convince their spouse to move from Windows to Mac or Linux, I'd personally not fight this battle unless they express interest. There will be friction regardless of how perfect you set up their DE, and unless they are actively interested in navigating the road blocks, they're going to get frustrated at you, and the computer.

Look at it the reverse, how would you feel if she pressed for you to get off your freebie OS and use a "real operating system." (disclaimer, I use Fedora as my daily driver.) You'd probably feel frustrated and defensive that Linux checks your checkmarks and Windows does not. That is probably true of her position.

Just show her a Chromebook if you want her to try Linux. You'll probably regret pressing for her to jump on anything anything more complex than that.
Doing something that has religious roots doesn't automatically make it religious. The question is: what are you getting out of it? We're setting up a (now fake) tree during holidays, but treat it as tradition and a nice decoration for winter. Another example: Halloween.
I suggest you submit your evidence to your local FBI office. Since the pressure was partially on Twitter, they should be able to begin arrests for the DDoS attack.

Real people were swatted by real posts on KiwiFarms. No tears will be spilt if these internet tough guys/gals can't afford their hosting bill and thus close down shop. Another group of keyboard heroes face minor consequences for their disgusting actions.

Your view of free speech isn't workable. You tell others to preemptively hamper their own liberty and free speech so these habitual line steppers can preach intolerance.

What you want is the freedom to speak without consequence. That will never exist, nor should it.
In Finland they got that situation somewhat covered. The same companies that own most of the nuclear power plants (Olkiluoto) are also some of the largest consumers (UPM and Stora Enso. Two very large paper companies). They also own a lot of hydro so they have a lot of capability to adjust the equation both from the input and output side.

These paper companies own all this production because electricity is a massive part of their operational costs and by owning the production if the market goes bad they can just use it themselves at cost of production instead of selling the electricity on the open market basically capping the cost of electricity in their costs.

(edit: Actually now that I think about it this is very similar to how most big cloud platforms work. Basically you build infrastructure for your own use and then also sell the same infrastructure to anyone who is interested.)

> Producing 5% of 1MW can be costing you more than what you made selling 100% of that 1MW for most of the day.

The thing is that with nuclear the costs will be mostly the same when plant is off, at 5% or at 100% (probably most expensive is at off state as you can't use the electricity you made yourself to run all the cooling systems etc). Obviously if the market prices are negative you just run at plant at minimum power which is basically just enough to cover the plants own usage.
Men have to be able to choose whether they want to be jerks, shouldn't be against the law. But the ones who are not total psychopaths would be willing to at least acknowledge children they happen to have and spend some time to bond with them / introduce them to their lives. And, by the time they are wealthy enough, contribute to their well being. This is completely orthogonal to whether the law should mandate child support. Women who are not psychopaths also should not see motherhood as only a burden and a fetus as useless parasite. Not saying they should be forced to give birth or that there are no good reasons for abortion. There are also good reasons for men to not pay child support, what if they are already struggling to take good care of their current wife and children? I will just choose to associate with people whose worldviews do not trouble me.

All our ancestries contain victims, mine too. Albeit it is of difficult personal digestion, focusing on that might not deliver the best life experience.
You’re in for an uphill battle my friend. The biggest obstacle will be converting her word/excel workflows to a OpenOffice write/calc (or other open source alternative). Unless of course she is using the web version of M$ Office.

I have a work laptop, a personal project laptop (more work), and a gaming pc. I’ve intentionally resisted from installing any work/productivity/etc software on my gaming pc and found myself spending a couple hours navigating through OpenOffice Calc to perform a task that would have taken me 20 minutes in excel. It was possible, but without the familiar UI I was completely lost.

But.. If you can convert her to using web version of these tools, and find an intuitive enough desktop environment, you/she may have a better time with this transition.

Edit: On second thought, I would take a moment to consider what is causing you push her towards this transition. If learning how to operate in a completely different environment than what she is used to is not her fancy, neither of you are going to have a good time.

Either way, good luck.
I think of loops as a ~syntactic concept.

You could implement loops with recursion, but I wouldn't call manual recursion a loop.

Similarly I wouldn't call a manual "goto" a function call, even if one way you'd implement function calls could be with goto.
They might have built it into Google Anthos as part of their partnership. I recall seeing a demo where you could deploy & run any* VMWare image on Kubernetes without any changes
They were told by the goverment "If you don't do it on your own, we will make you do it", so the big ISPs did (BT, Virgin, Sky, TalkTalk). This was back in 2012.

The filter is turned on by default from the biggest ISPs however each one of them asks if you would like to disable it during the onboarding process.

Same goes for mobile internet, the only diffence there is if you are using PAYG you have to validate your age via a credit card or using a form of ID at your providers local store.

It's very possible. Code is a fantastic book for people who want to understand how computers work, basically from first principles.
> In some ways, I feel we’ve lost this beautiful richness in our modern non-religious lifestyles.

Well, the celebrations are spiritually meaningless when actual, sincere theological views of the world are discarded for essentially material things. That the supernatural meaning of life has been replaced by "progress" in Western societies (we are continuously advancing towards better and better things) reflects this - we can build a paradise on Earth rather than have our spirits ascend to heaven when we are gone from Earth.

So yeah, the celebrations are basically just another get together with a dead tree nearby and the exchange of material things we've been lured into buying "on-sale", etc. If anything, it's even worse because of all the obligations and because of the lack of shared belief of a super natural thing, there's nothing that really brings us closer to each other.
I really can't see majors differences between socially conservative evangelical Christians and those other groups, if we're talking the harm they can cause politically.
Search engine "item + problem" is where i always start. Of course, you get the 'piece of crap, took three months to get during covid' bs, but i really want to know how bad the item may be, as much as how bad the company may be ("didn't solve my problem").
>> In 1945, as a high school sophomore, Buffett and a friend spent $25 to purchase a used pinball machine, which they placed in the local barber shop. Within months, they owned several machines in three different barber shops across Omaha. They sold the business later in the year for $1,200

That's ~$20k in today's dollars in a few months while still in high school.

This is true for the vast majority of people. Our problem is that we allow the bizarre outliers for whom this is not true to run everything.
I think it'd be great. It a great way of building knowledge until someone is able to understand how a computer works. It's very approachable and requires next to no preexisting knowledge.
As for the falling sub numbers and such... I have a suggestion.

Start making, buying or financing shows and movies that actual viewers (as in real people who use your service) want to watch, their sensibilities included, and stop making such decisions based off of what market analysts, media/press hacks or social media thinks!
Lol this is great. Got an audible chuckle out of me.

Shouldn't really be a problem - I've had reasonable syntax highlighting of markdown files with support for inline code-blocks in different languages for a while in (neo)vim.

Mixing languages/dsls in a single file shouldn't be a problem.

I am working as a dev for many years, some problems are not hard to solve but some other stuff has more priority and is placed up int he list. So IMO FB has FB pushed this at the bottom from various reasons, one of them might be that is a problematic one so they won't touch it until they are forced too.
> That's like saying grocery stores are exploiting the human need for food.

No, because a grocery store's purpose is to sell a product. That product happens to be food. That's very, very different from a company leveraging human emotional need in order to sell something else entirely.

> A healthy community benefits the people in it as much or more than the company behind it.

I would argue that a healthy community doesn't have a company behind it -- even if the community is centered around a particular company's products.

> A company-backed community serves a need that the members of that community have. Nobody is being forced into it or exploited.

I think we have a fundamental disagreement here. And that's OK.

A company-backed community serves the company. The proof of that is what happens when the company-backed community starts becoming too critical of the company -- then the truth of the relationship rapidly becomes very clear.
