I have been using Windows/Linux/BSD in parallel for decades. Now I'm at the verge to ditch Windows.

Linux/BSD were barely usable on PCs when I started using a computer. Now to my surprise, they are, especially Linux now good enough for my day to day use, even on some old and weak hardware.

In the same time, Windows peaked at Windows 7 then downhill all the way. Windows 8 was quite a surprise by changing the UI, but okay other than that. Windows 10 is the malware. When Windows 10 was first out, my computers fan started to run like crazy in the mid-night but when I checked in the morning everything looked alright. It went on for quite a few month until one day I was woke up by the fan and decided to take a look at what was the computer doing. Yep, upgrading to Windows 10, but the upgrade failed so rolled back to Windows 7 like nothing happened. So I upgraded to Win10 manually which I regret almost immediately. Since then updates just like Russian Roulette. Almost every time there would be something got broken and something broken got fixed. And I started to notice some core utilities which were rock solid like diskpart, ipconfig etc got broken. The most ridiculous time was that all 3 UIs(so called modern, win32 and cli) were broken and I spent hour and had to use a combination of 2 out of the 3 to get back online. And I also constantly got OOM BSOD on one particular version even though I have 64GB RAM installed.

The only reason I still use Windows now is that there are no alternatives for some work related stuffs.
>It's is a contraction and should be used where a sentence would normally read "it is." The apostrophe indicates that part of a word has been removed. Its with no apostrophe, on the other hand, is the possessive word, like "his" and "her," FOR NOUNS WITHOUT GENDER [my emphasis]

As someone who prides myself on being pretty literate [which is a nailed-on guarantee this post is going to contain typos galore!], I think this article slightly misses the point.

The reason otherwise literate people make this mistake [and I'll admit to having done so myself, in the past] is because the dual-purpose of the apostrophe in English leads to both options appearing correct.

* On the one hand we have the apostrophe as 'missing letter/s signifier'. So: it's = it [i]s

* But, on the other hand, we have the apostrophe as 'possssion signifier'. So it's also logical [if not grammatically correct] to assume it's = belonging to it

The 'nouns without gender' is the significant and oft-overlooked sub-clause here. And the reason I consider this particular grammatical faux pas to be more forgiveable than the dreaded Greengrocer's Apostrophe [0]

It is also notable how doctors can get away with not following the progress in their own field.

A programmer who would ignore the developments since 2007 would be unusable.
And in the 60s the nuclear industry was just as confident of its own safety as it is today.

The only measure of nuclear safety I trust is the liability cap. Currently in America it stands at 0.04% ($300 million) the cost of 1 Fukushima ($800 billion).
Thanks for replying me.
Did you have autonomy (like did you feel you could execute your job in the way you think it was right)?
Did you have a mission (the feeling that your job was part of something bigger) ?
Honor used to be Huawei's budget brand. They then split it off and now it's making flagships. I personally think it was the response to the sanction war waged against Huawei, but of course they deny it.
If I wanted the full-fat Discord app (rather than a browser website or PWA, or a third-party client Discord will ban you over), I'd look into https://github.com/SpacingBat3/WebCord (which I think isn't detected and banned, but I cannot guarantee this or that they won't rewrite Discord to the point you can get banned for using it).
There is no doubt my mother-in-law barely notices a difference when I take a photo of her grand children using phone and using camera. And this is for one simple reason - she looks at how much fun her grand children are having. Not the quality of HDR or anything else.

So your point really stands here.

However for anybody just a little bit involved the difference is huge. Simple things like depth of field can only be faked on small sensor because if physics.

HDR on phones also often look fake, imperfect and artificial. To the point that I think in 50 years people will try to fake it to get that "2020 look" as nowadays we try to get "film look of 60s".
Software is hard but more specifically it's human behavior - coordination and communication between contributors and teams to be exact
I'm a bit fed up with "computational photography". The image reconstruction on the iPhone 13 is super fascinating from a technical perspective - crazy what can be achieved with the given constraints - but I do prefer less of it like it was still the case with my old "more honest" iPhone X. I should probably finally test the Pro Raw mode, I guess it will give me what I'm missing?

Still, I'm wondering if anyone has a rec for a slightly less handy yet purpose built and somewhat comparable modern "snap & shoot" camera? Even after reading this well done review / comparison the iPhone 14 Pro upgrade is just not worth it to me at this point.
The thread addresses this: "(NOTE: the product we’re suing about should not be mistaken for curing salt which is only 6% pure SN and used to cure meats.).
That means first games for PS4 are already damaged.

How is Elasticsearch "closed source"? The code is literally right here: https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch
would be cool if kiwix came with an auto-update feature, but given the database size, I believe it's difficult to implement.
There was no prepackaged system to follow. It was a pretty large academy, with I think close to 100 teachers. Teachers were grouped by the sections they taught. One group of teachers would be assigned test creation and grading for the classes of another group, that is, same subject but different section.
I would think that the amount of RAM used by the lambda-monster (100+ GB to compile single-page C files) would make a practical application like that rather unpractical, for the time being.
The Alternative Genesis Block of Bitcoin
I got OS/2 on a CD that came with a computer magazine in 1995. That magazine was like $10, so the OS/2 version was probably just a trial.
I'm very happy using Perl with web frameworks like Mojolicious, and database ORMs like DBIx::Class.

You can get a working prototype up quickly, and recent versions of Perl along with OO libraries like Moo/Moose allow you to quickly create well-written code.

There's also a lot of mature testing libraries.
Same storage conditions here, probably never over 30C though, but I really never cared for its storage either. Give a try to ddrescue, it's pretty straightforward to use, I just ran it with defaults and it worked pretty well, but it has a ton of parameters if you want.

Now I have stored the whole disk image in the cloud (BackBlaze), let see in 2043 if I can still access it!
Its all fun and games, until you start hitting corner cases.
No; the term has no normal form. It contains a lot of applications of the fix-point combinator Y.
As a simpler example, here's a lambda term for reversing input:

λ 1 ((λ 1 1) (λ λ λ λ 2 (4 4) (λ 1 4 2))) (λ λ 1)

which similarly has no normal form.
I agree with you that other environment polutions have also very long-lasting effect. But my main point was that isolated statements like "half million death per year" are predenting to be meaningful, but are not when you look closely. (Reminds me on "coast length" -- but this is another story.)
Many of the people commenting don't realize that for the majority of ES users, it is a pain in the butt to manage and scale their cluster storage in lock step with their compute. Most companies use ES for relatively small scale search with people who are not experts in managing an ES cluster, or really infra at all.

A cloud offering that decouples storage from compute makes this a lot easier and becomes more of a no brainer for 90% of the use cases.

If you're an outlier with TBs or PBs of search data this probably you can keep using on prem if you want. Though I don't really immediately grant that it's worse for your usecase, especially when object storage is insanely cheap and supposing they provide a compat layer for S3 you can get away with everything from R2, S3, Ceph, Minio, Backblaze, etc. This is very much a case you should benchmark/analyze as a proper engineer.

I've managed many TB ES clusters. This would have reduced my cost and time to manage it so I could focus on other features that would have benefitted my users.
I can highly recommend using Shellcheck [0] when writing Bash, it also has extensions for VS Code and other IDE's. It makes writing Bash much easier.

At the end of the day for any serious archiving tape should be used, no?
Amazon is recommending 98% pure SN, which the thread says has no use outside a lab.

From thread:

I've just recently got an Apple Watch, and for me it's a net positive. I've turned off almost all notifications on my Watch, so I don't have the problem with constant notifications.

It really helps me to get some visibility into my health, and closing the rings does motivate me to work out more. I also love the "stand up" notifications, that get me to get up and take a short break from work.

I'm also looking forward to longer term trends, which I think will help me to see if I'm going in the right direction or not =)

Edit: I was not a watch wearer for the past 10 years. The Apple Watch shouldn't be seen as a watch, but as a health device.
I totally disagree... Seeing actual development instead I think the era of end-user programming will came back. Really.

Try see ANY large enough project: no matter if it's a kernel or a GUI desktop application, at a certain point ALL of them try to integrate, this, that, that other etc becoming monsters. Original desktops was designed as a single OS-application-framework where "applications" where just "code added to the core image". That's the missing level of integration we can't achieve in modern systems and that's why all complex software became monsters trying to circumvent the lack of integration adding features directly.

Unix at first succeed over classic systems stating they are too complex and expensive, separating "the system" and "users" is the best cheap and quick solution. They they backpedal violating unix KISS logic with X11 and GUIs, libraries, frameworks etc because the KISS principle do not scale. Widget based GUIs born and succeed over document-oriented UIs stating those are too complex and expensive. The modern web prove they were wrong. In another ten years I think we will came back to Xerox...

No doubt here. Just watching a few videos on youtube about composition and similar stuff can improve your photos greatly.

Sometimes people just don't have "a feeling" on why professional photos look like professional photos. It is all about composition, angles and stuff. Sensor size is not so important if you are taking a photo of landscape and showing it on instagram.
NebulaGraph reaps from China’s growing appetite for graph databases
Sure, many people do, and some don't. I suppose the point I'm trying to make is that decisions like that make one consider what are the assumptions and target audience of a project. In this case, as a potential user, if I'm looking for a language that's a deadly tool for doing difficult things, intentional limitations feel almost patronizing.
Now that's a great cleanup!
You are correct. I read "The addition of Luton Airport Parkway to stations accepting pay as you go means that four of London’s airports are now accessible by simply using contactless." [1]. The other is London City Airport, not Stansted.

That is 100% correct and I agree. Actually, I always try to make a PR as a series of small, self-contained commits. I just wanted to point out the, IME, strong correlation between people that leave a bunch of "small fix" commits and them not using squash/rebase but "normal" merge.
I think people would work on taking down these satellites. Whether by shining coordinated lasers at them, homemade projectiles, or some other method.
> Turns out something like that exists

Except that map is rubbish. Sorry, but it is.

Look at the UK for example, apparently "iomart DC4 Leicester" is just off Berkeley Square, London.

Not only is that technically incorrect (Leicester != London), but its hilarious to propose that anyone would build a datacentre in that part of London (its hedge-fund central where rents are three-digits per square foot .... plus there isn't the space anyway to build a datacentre of any sort of meaningful scale).

And the map is just full of such examples.

So yeah, I've grave concerns for the accuracy of that resource.
1. "Former Navy people" are not historians.

2. Adding a continent to a war is not the same as starting it. That's like saying that if the US entered the war in Ukraine, then Biden started WWIII.

The person who started the war is the person who invaded a sovereign neighbor to expand his empire.
quite impressive effort. v3 was already very polished, i cannot wait to try v4.
"Because they're already jumping to a biased conclusion by asking the question."

Well... Maybe your conclusion is biased.

"Covid/vaccine related questions should best be left to topics concerning large scale studies, not a single tragic instance."

Why? I prefer individual, non-anonymous source of data. Without conclusions.
Instead of stopping to show these "recommendations", we could leverage the information that this customer intents to commit suicide. Contact authorities and get this person into therapy with professionals.

That's two birds with one stone. Amazon preserves a long-term customer AND gets to keep the extra $20 for their Q3 results!

These are all classic scheduling problems and there are many solutions for all of them. The least complicated might be to learn how to use a constraint solver and input your constraints directly into it. Often that is overkill because if you have less than 10 jobs and 10 workers computing the schedule that minimizes latency (critical path) is easy to do by hand. However, as you surely know, modelling developers as schedulable jobs doesn't work in practice.
> iP addresses are within scope of GDPR, period.

This sentence does not mean anything.

The actual position regarding IP addresses as personal data is that "an IP address may be personal data if you are able to access additional information which enable you to identify the user behind the IP address", hence my previous statement. Unfortunately, this is often oversimplified (as tends to happen to any non-trivial issue) to "an IP address is personal data". It does mean, though, that one must be careful when handling IP addresses and may treat them as personal data by default as a belt and braces approach (as I already mentioned in my first comment), but that's not the same thing.
Citrix performance can depend a lot on the apps - older win32 apps work really well as the object caching masked the latency on windows and buttons. Newer apps seem to somehow make the caching not very effective.
Wow, she is super sensationalized. Blowing everything out of proportion and advertising her case.

Depends, if you are trying to spin fast something working with simple business logic, you need a megalit like django, RoR or spring. If you are aiming for something with various microservices, go is the prefered solution nowadays.
The article does say that they use a small rocket for final orbital insertion. Payloads can still absolutely be put into orbit using spinlaunch, with a small amount of extra rocket assistance

Information Technology Career Opportunities – Japan Welcomes You
Japan is a land of opportunities for tech professionals. The country with its aging and declining population and growing tech industry creates a lot of job opportunities for foreigners.
This summer, I was in the US desert with a friend (AZ/UT). He had an iPhone 11 pro (maybe you consider this old?), while I had a 6 yo m4/3 Olympus (never was particularly high-end).

His pictures would systematically look "flatter", almost cartoonish. They were lacking a certain nuance in the colors, especially on larger swaths of similar colors (think the buttes in Monument Valley).

Its saving grace was that, out of camera, my sky was a tad lighter than you'd expect. The camera does have an HDR mode, but I basically never bother with it.
Tape decays as well, and probably at a faster rate than optical.

For any serious archiving i would consider M-disc Blu-Ray

> 1) They install a root certificate on all machines and use that to MITM all TLS connections using a firewall appliance. They turn this MITM on one day without notifying any developer. Overnight, all our builds (run on-prem) fail because npm install, pip install etc fail and we spent a long time trying to figure it out. They are still failing to this day and I have to get off the VPN every time I need to run these simple commands. IT absolutely doesn't give a flying * about developers.
This has to be one of the most poorly structured pieces of writing I've seen in a while. It's way too verbose, and on the one hand there are separate sections like:

* Getting a flash drive

* Formatting a flash drive (which includes a subsection on not formatting it but buying one that's already formatted instead, while there was a separate section just before this one on buying a drive)

* Waiting for a file to download

At the same time downloading both Wikipedia and Kiwix are in the same section. Then, installing Kiwix is in a section called "You're done" which isn't next to the section on downloading Kiwix.
Cause US is the largest and the most superior on so many indices economicaly, sometimes providing the only top notch opportunities in the whole world (e.g., advanced high-tech). However, lots of hard working people from poorer or less developed parts of the world immigrate to countries other than the US in large numbers (legally, for education and skilled work). Most people in African countries (North Africa in particular, but also subsaharan, with the exception of South Africa) immigrate to Europe, namely France, Germany and Sweden. And immigration is just as successful as in the US (there are lately immigration issues in Europe, but it's a different type of immigration, refugees and asylum seekers, caused by destabilised regions in the middle east. I'm talking about regular immigration for education and skileld work).

"Just like every time famous person dies."

Only for those who are healthy and suddenly die because of chest pain. Also when you know personaly people that are seriously ill or dead because of vaccines, than it is really hard to not ask questions.

"That happens to be private health information."

It was and it should be. But since our governments decided to make those information mandatory for for/entrance to various places/etc., it is not private anymore.
See, this is what I do all the time in my free time but nothing is ever good enough to publish because that's never the point and I know that if I do finish and publish something I might be on the hook to support it or for unforeseen misuse.

> Have clock speeds really plateaued?

Pentium 4 HT 3.8F, November 2004, 3.8GHz, 115W TDP

Core i9-13900KF, October 2022, 3.0GHz, 125W TDP

Of course, the latter does give you 8 performance cores and 16 efficiency cores so performance-per-watt has clearly improved; and it has 'turbo boost'. But in terms of sustained single-core performance? It's clear Intel's attention has been elsewhere. Such as on the laptop market, where power efficiency is king.
IPC is still improving, so single thread performance is still increasing, even if clock speeds are not (at least not at the same as before). And new instructions (AVX ect) also help, especially if you can optimize and recompile your code.

It's at least enough that we have to take it into account:

We run our workloads across multiple Intel cpu generations and to be able to optimize utilization we have a "speedup factor" which is currently up to 1.7 for the latest generation we've tuned it for. And the base 1.0 performance is from Ivy Bridge, launched 2013.

This release is really important if only because it supports BitTorrent V2 spec.

Transmission has a huge market share, particularly in open source circles. Lack of support for the V2 spec has stopped many open source projects from migrating their torrents to the V2 spec, because transmission clients won't work.

Please support and use other open-source torrent clients, because Transmission's long-standing history of going years between updates and their significant market share simply is not healthy.

The first client to support v2 spec was two years ago; same year the libtorrent library that some clients use supported v2: https://torrentfreak.com/biglybt-is-the-first-torrent-client...
