Run a VM (even if it's slow) or rent a cheap VPS (lowendbox.com is my go to), you can get a cheap Linux server for maybe $5 a month.

And you know what ? I highly advise YOU DO DAMAGE the system! many times over, and over.
This is the best way to learn.
Do experiments on that Linux, one at a time. You ARE going to break things, and that's okay. Learn how to fix them - you'll be a master in no time.
Yes, this means running "rm -rf /", see how the system reacts to that (keep a shell session open, but also try opening another session, such as via SSH).
Try to fill up a drive, fill up memory, see what happens etc etc.

I always recommend ZorinOS to beginners. It's a great distro that doesn't require any extra configuration. It's made for people coming from Windows and MacOS, you can give it a try.

And don't worry about breaking the system, if the live USB works fine ZorinOS is stable enough to not break on its own. I've been using it for years for webdev (and I switched from windows too) and none of my installations have failed. ZorinOS is rock solid, in stability compatibility and usability.

As others have pointed Ubuntu Subsystem for Windows is your best bet, especially if you really want to learn the Unix shell. That’s the main characteristic that separates from a Windows experience.

I honestly doubt your computer can’t handle a VM, just use a distro small and light like Ubuntu Mate or Lubuntu.

Linux probably won’t t help you with web development as LAMP is pretty much dead in the modern industry, but it will give you insight into the backend of web architecture.

I agree about dual booting, it’s finicky, not very fun to setup and can be dangerous if you’re novice.
I thought about the smog too. Probably from the coal fires, gas lamps and the like. And now we’re worrying about dust from tyres! Things move on eh.
Thank you for explaining, that cleared up a lot for me.

One thing I don’t understand though… how can a “fair market value” be ascertained for tax purposes, when there is no market at all for the shares? If a company is not publicly traded, the value is whatever I could get someone to pay for them. But for a pre-IPO company who is to say what amount that is?

And along those lines, if it’s so easy for me to sell the shares at that price, then I can just sell 40% of them to cover the tax bill right?

It’s better to sell 40% than to potentially have to sell 100% in order to raise cash for the strike price, no?

Band instruments were also a huge industry in bygone days. Every town had multiple bands. The center of town always had a bandshell. In the late 1890s you pretty much couldn’t walk through a city without hearing a band rehearsing somewhere. Elkhart, Indiana hosted dozens if not hundreds of musical instrument factories for a period of about 100 years.
Energy conservation is... tricky. Under Noether's Theorem it's guaranteed by time translation symmetry, which is kind of sketchy at cosmological scale. My understanding is that it can be violated under conditions of changing gravitational fields or somesuch, but don't really understand what specific circumstances do the trick.

Ed: don't get hung up on "expansion of space is fuelled by light" or whatever, they only picked a photon for their thought experiment because it was easy to reason about.
That is also why players usually want any difficulty change that is not a resource multiplier, as beating the AI then becomes its own meta game.

> All serverside cloud-style VMs get tap devices

Unless you want to PCI pass-through an SRIOV VF into a guest? If you're paying out the ass for Cisco cloud gear you probably want the guest to have direct access to a card...

Again, I don't remember the specifics, but depending on the underlying networking (on the host etc), there may be some issues with IPSec (but I could be wrong). From some random searching: https://linux-ipsec.org/wp-content/uploads/slides/2018/quest...

> SANs work fine from within VMs. The point of a SAN is that the disk isn't attached. Firecracker talks to host block devices the same way other virtualizers do.

But you may want to talk to an attached HBA? Firecracker's docs (https://github.com/firecracker-microvm/firecracker/blob/main...) say: "Firecracker emulated block devices are backed by files on the host. To be able to mount block devices in the guest, the backing files need to be pre-formatted with a filesystem that the guest kernel supports."

Based on everything else in the Firecracker docs, I don't see any vHBA support provided, so the guest cannot access an HBA on the host. And a virtual device backed by a file is going to have crap performance.
One thing also to keep in mind is it's often hard to keep a project working because the ecosystem evolves around the project. So updates are needed just for existing functionality to remain.

Features and APIs are deprecated/ removed from libraries, and if you don't update your project stops working in most user environments.
I don't understand how this even helps... if the attacker (nene?) is the person who owns the computer, there is no way that "new private window" is somehow going to protect you.

Hierarchy and the Workplace
So far in my experience WebAssembly has been great for when I want to import a *little* bit of native code into my browser. I've yet to see it work well as a full on container based solution. I could certainly see a future where that is true, but it'd need the following:

- A way way better tooling story. Emscripten is an incredibly fiddly tool that requires a lot of flags and config. wasm-pack is decent for Rust but seems to be focused on the browser.

- Better interoperability. WASM works great if you write everything in Rust, or everything in C or everything in Zig. Not so much with multiple languages.

- Memory64 and WASI need to land. We need more than 4 gigs and we need proper syscalls.

- Near native needs to be, well, near native. I find it weird that people keep on saying WebAssembly is fast while in the same text decrying "a low-double-digits percentage hit" in performance. I'm fairly certain WebAssembly's "near native" is using near to mean "same order of magnitude", not "within 10%".

I'm also just confused as to what WebAssembly will look like for something that's more than a lambda conceptually. Like if we're running a classic back-end server with a database, are we going to run the database in wasm? Are we running it in a different wasm process? How do you share memory? Is wasm going to reinvent the operating system?

I like WebAssembly as an idea but I'm very unclear on how it'll get to the "replace Docker" level.
Seems that Russia's plan is to quickly make Donetsk and Luhansk part of Russia with their sham referendum, and then threaten a nuclear attack if anyone breaches this territory. The rest of the world will force Ukraine to stop their counterattack at that point. And that's hopefully how it will wash out.

> You had to watch whatever was on one of three channels at a specific time of night?

True. But then again, far less TV was watched. There was an occasional good show, the rest was filler that was pure drivel.

There's a reason kids played outside with their friends in those days. There was nothing to do in the house.

The stations would broadcast a test pattern at night.

What kind of growth areas do people look for anyway?

I'm like 15 years into my career, and I've grown, but none of it was necessarily intentional on my part. I've mostly grown when I was faced with an insurmountable challenge and my team/org/company would be screwed if I didn't surmount it, so I figured it out. I think it's safe to say that it was "the hard way" though
As a programmer who studied philosophy and worked as a freelance graphic designer I often contribute in terms of writing, clarifying, creating explainer graphics, logos, splash screens etc.

The issue with all of these fields is, that there is a ton of personal taste involved. As a professional I know how to push my taste aside and create something that serves a project — but not every contributor who will contribute e.g. graphics will be able to maintain that distance. This can potentially lead to emotionally exhaustive situations, where a maintainer or community is thankful for a contribution, but they have to say "no thanks" because the graphics/text don't fit the standard of the project.

Same thing goes for well meant "analysis" where contributers ignored all existing issues and discussion — nice of you to do that, but consider that ot also creates work.

Hell, one of my friends fathers grew up in rural Sicily; he can remember the excitement at the first mechanical tractor to arrive in the village back in the 1960s.

Nearly every item on your list was a change he saw in his lifetime - the date a technology was widespread in the area it was invented can be separated by several decades from the date it becomes widespread globally.

I mean it depends on the kind of project right? What would be catastrophic for a web framework could be totally normal for a command line tool.

Apple has enough volume that they have custom made lots of bits of silicon for their phones now.

That means that it probably won't be just a serial number embedded in a ROM - instead it'll be a challenge-response system so even someone watching the data lines can't replicate a genuine apple part and trick the phone into accepting it.

The term alpha here doesn’t really mean anything at all. It kind of makes sense when you are talking about unreleased software or limited previews (like a beta channel) but when the software has been released publicly for over a decade, it’s not an alpha anymore.
I absolutely should be expecting practical results, because most of the people trying to apply this technology are promising practical results. If blockchain proponents were just saying, "Hey, we're fucking around with some tech to see what happens," I wouldn't have any complaints. But that's not where we are. Instead, it's billions of dollars of investment.

Is it possible that there will be "a relatively-uncontrollable internet consensus layer won't be built upon with some interesting results down the line"? Sure. Lots of things are possible. But it's also very possible that after another decade of Bitcoin, et al, we'll still have just a bunch of stuff that's not adding at all to the world beyond a playground for scammers and some tooling for light financial crime.

Sometimes a small and ugly technology turns out to be the Internet. But most of the time, it's just a bit of garbage that never went anywhere.
Given the track record on stability (or rather lack thereof) in the ecosystem around Node.js, it feels like a strange base on which to build "a dependable foundation for ... future-proof web applications".
It's not a fetichism to want to add a safety device to an already dangerous hobby or work tool. To own a suppressor _in the United States of America_ you need to pass a BATFE background check that lasts a year or more. It's a registered item and has a 200 dollar tax stamp. And that's a federal law. What gains in "the safety of the public" are made by making it outright illegal when you already have to do that to have one is at least debatable.

Also if they are so dangerous maybe they shouldn't be putting them in the AR-15s of SFPD SWAT like you can see here: https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/At-Outside-Lands...
For a straight-ahead technical role in an organization that will likely get a stack of candidates and sort them by qualification, then probably not.
