I have a couple of personal servers I run on Ubuntu.

I've used Alpine before and it's fine, but I want proper bash and full tools which is tedious to setup, and it doesn't do release upgrades automatically. Sometimes they make major changes like sudo-to-doas. Alpine needs a better versioning system and a release upgrader.

I've also run Debian and found it unpolished and unreliable. For no reason whatsoever package updates just randomly reset all my preferences sometimes. This has happened to me multiple times over different packages and installs. Now I wouldn't run Debian if you paid me.

Ubuntu Server has none of these problems and just works.
>- Ban on lobbying for 10 years after leaving office.

I'd rather see a lifetime vow of poverty, where officeholders were forbidden to derive any income at all other than their pensions.
No they did not. Both are unrelated unless the CO2e removal efforts caused the wildfires.
If they'd wanted a Linux distribution, they'd have bid on Red Hat back when it was up for sale, which was at least fairly profitable and fit in with their enterprise lineup.
Similarly, handler beliefs affect scent detection dog outcomes to at least some degree as indicated in this study:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3078300/

> No conditions contained drug or explosive scent; any alerting response was incorrect

> Within marked conditions, handlers reported that dogs alerted more at marked locations than other locations.

> The overwhelming number of incorrect alerts identified across conditions confirms that handler beliefs affect performance. Further, the directed pattern of alerts in conditions containing a marker compared with the pattern of alerts in the condition with unmarked decoy scent suggests that human influence on handler beliefs affects alerts to a greater degree than dog influence on handler beliefs

I found this to be very telling. It at the very least warrants more study. At the worst and in my opinion, warrants elimination of dog scent detection as the sole factor in a search.

An important proviso on the strict tables is that they will not be observed on older SQLite versions lacking this feature.

SQLite has been rock-solid since attaining DO-178B, and commonly isn't ever upgraded in many installations.

CentOS 7 is using 3.7.17. Since the v3 database format is standardized, the older version can utilize a STRICT database file, but will not have the capability to alter datatype behavior.

For these cases, implementing both STRICT and the relevant CHECK constraints is advisable.
Don’t target some bigoted stereotype. Target the problem of corruption.

You can as easily argue the opposite: older people can be more conscientious because they have less to gain and less to lose. Who cares more about a payoff: someone who already has their gains and fewer years left, or the hungrier younger person?

I suspect you have based your “fact” on sampling bias - we don’t get good visibility metrics on young corrupted politicians (not so many young politicians, not so much time for them to have been caught making egregious errors). Disclaimer: middle-aged engineer type.
I sincerely hope not. From one of the authors:

"Scientists publish papers not because the paper is the end of science, but because it is a unit of research that is valuable to share with others so that others can use this brick of knowledge and either build with it… or find its weakness and break it down...We wrote our entire analysis in R and shared our code with the world. I tried SO hard to check every single line of code and make our pipeline clear & easy to reproduce. However, despite nearly giving myself stomach ulcers checking every line and stressing about these findings, it’s possible someone finds a mistake in our work. We don’t share this work happily - this is the saddest paper I’ve ever written. We’ve shared our code precisely for that reason: we want you to see exactly what we’ve done, and if we’ve done something wrong we are open to hearing it."

As to your original concern, it is a valid one. I wrote this is response to pre-prints popularized via the press earlier this year:

-> Make bold, unjustifiable claims in the preprint;
-> Ensure widespread coverage in the science press;
-> Walk back those claims during peer-review;
-> Get published; and then
-> Watch blue checks tout original claims as "Fact!"

Every time an Amazon recruiter emails me, I reply back CC'ing every previous Amazon recruiter. I say "Thanks <new person name> but I'm not interested in working for Amazon. <Previous recruiters>: I previously asked to be taken off the mailing list- what happened?"

I got to 4 people on my list before the emails stopped coming.
Did "Parler" suffer a security vulnerability, or did some poor staffer mix up CC and BCC, then some so called "journalist"[1] decided to do a full on article conflating human error with a software vulnerability?

I think this is great, and though I agree that determining whether there is an "on-going cost to the manufacturer" will be a gray area that automakers will try to game, I think that's a solvable problem.

The heated seats example is a great one. There is no reason for this not be a one-time charge.

On the other hand, I think it's fair to offer autopilot/"full self driving" on a subscription, or at least the upgrades as a subscription. Clearly there is a large ongoing cost to continually improve self-driving capabilities, and it seems reasonable to me to have a pricing model that reflects that.
This seems like a really straightforward thing to test. If I get a thousand people together, have them each bite 10 human skin analogues, identify the participants and each of their bite records with a GUID, can bite mark analysts map bite records to biters and with what accuracy?

If they can't, why did the courts think they could? Why are we doing the tests for whether or not a method works after making use of that method?

After skimming one of the papers linked in the NIST analysis - it seems bite mark analysis is far below this standard. The analysts being tested had substantial disagreements over whether something was a bite mark and whether it was caused by adult or child teeth. Matching bite marks to a reference mark seems well out of reach.
Before Android and iOS, no third-party developer cared about smartphones/PDAs, because they were a tiny sliver of the market and so you couldn't make money targeting them. Bigcorps like Microsoft/Facebook/Twitter might make free apps for these, just to cover them (since their own employees used them); but no ISV cared. If you were an ISV developing paid "apps" for "mobile" at all, you were developing J2ME apps for feature-phones.
1. First of all I didn’t care about Parler, it was a dump doomed to fail. Second this point is purely opinion. Third, your notion of what free speech is in this country is flawed. calls to commit violence and/or riot are not protected free speech under the constitution

2. I don’t care if you choose not to do business with AWS. My comment is on your opinions on whether what AWS did were legitimate.

3. Explain? How is a mall restricting you? Stores will kick you out for being loud and obstructive. It happens all the time without legal repercussion. Actually the government does protect the rights of Facebook, Google, etc to host content by users that are calls to violence, harm, abuse, etc. there are many examples of this. The constitution will never tell a company it has to do business with an entity that hosts that content though. That’s what’s crazy about the duality of free market ideologues. They want business to have free reign but then hate when they exercise it? I’m having a hard time trying to grasp what you’re getting at here, actually.

My point about censorship is in juxtaposition to government censorship which is what society should be worried about. If a business doesn’t want to do business with people who break the law that’s entirely up to them.
SQLite is an excellent app database for local things. It doesn't compete with PostgreSQL or MySQL for huge number of reasons. So, to make it fit in the competition model, perhaps there are a bunch of things are glossed over.

Does anyone see a massive pro-sqlite movement going on? Sort of like what happens in JS-ecosystem. Everyone is bandwagoning on it. Criticism of SQLite is much welcomed, specifically exemplifying what its role is and which use cases it serves really well.

Plenty of doctors and professionals believe incorrect information all the time. Just because one went to a fancy medical school does not make them infallible no matter how much their ego may try to convince you otherwise.
Interesting -- a lot of folks don't like my comment above. But rather than discuss, downvotes. No complaints here, people will vote their agreement or disagreement on the internet. Just a curious thing overall. Do people generally think Firefox Mobile had a _good_ vision when they overhauled the UI, decreased accessibility, and disabled extensions, making the app more or less unusable for many folks?
The point isn’t to make it easier for traffic.

My assumption is that if you are ideologically opposed to private vehicular transportation, then you see this as a good incentive not to own a car.

I think things like this are a funny marriage of utopian and tyrannical daydreams.
Really? I've just installed it and the addons list looks identical on Firefox and Fennec. I just tried to install Connie Auto Deleted from the addons webpage but the install link isn't active.

Using custom add-on collections isn't as straight-forward as installing an add-on. While it's not rocket science, it's annoying enough that I haven't bothered doing it. I'm pissed that I can't just log into my Firefox account and have all my shit work

Support for party isn't the best metric for support for the party's policies though. There is broad support for gay marriage for example but marriage between a man and a woman and the "incorrectly decided" Obergefell v. Hodges is still part of the Republican platform.

To me support for a party is much more about tribalism and branding than actual policy.

> Hell, this attitude is why labour unions were invented.

Nope. Unions aren't to force bosses to hire a type of labor they don't need. I've got relatives who worked in dangerous jobs that needed unions and this sort of emotional grievance nonsense is literally insulting.

As I said, if I get rid of the house I'll get rid of the landscapers. You're trying to use a union to force me to pay you for unneeded work. If we decide we need an office then we need an office workers. No hate on you but you're saying you choose not to do that role.

Do I need to enter into collective bargaining with the Starbucks staff to convince them my desire for a latte is reasonable? Do they have "enough say" to make me drink an espresso instead?

> How much say does the employee have in the way the business functions?

As much as they have a financial stake in the business. Zero by default. I'll ask you if I want to know what you think but you have no "say" as in the ability to make demands. I pay for your knowledge and therefore advice, it's not your right to make me follow it.

> Study after study shows that monetary compensation is not, in and of itself, motivating.

Sure, and study after study shows that people who need external motivation are indistinguishable from potatoes. I don't expect money to motivate you directly, I expect you to connect the motivation from your life goals to your paycheck to the Monday mornings.

> And given industry-wide labour shortages, I suspect you'll find that labour is a lot more empowered, and many people will opt to flee for another workplace where they have a greater say.

You see, this is why I wouldn't have asked you in the first place because you think that explaining basic economics to me will suddenly convince me to make your cushy work-at-home time a human right. Trust me from my time as a boss and more recently merely as a hiring reviewer, the desire to "have a greater say" has never left the lips of a single productive employee.

If you want to "have a say" then join a poetry circle. I want you to have as much, and only as much, influence as you have sense. It's not about empowering you, it's about using you to make both of us a living.

> Is a pretty strong indication that I'd never ever want to work for you.

Oh no. Employee who refuses to do what is needed is unwilling to take my money.
No thank you.

They want to somehow have every single person in a 3 block radius park on the perimeter of that area? And this is somehow supposed to make things better?

I also have zero interest in walking 2 blocks to my car when I need it, nor do I want to carry my items that far from my car.

I especially like: "or reducing the number of parking spaces or the number of traffic lanes, for example—actions that might catalyze bigger, more permanent changes in the future."

Yes, let's make people miserable now, because it might possibly make some change later.

The concept of first make things better seems to have escaped them.

I'm really tired of anti-car advocates that have just a single idea: Make people too miserable to use a car, and maybe then there will be less cars.

Making people miserable is not a viable strategy.

Why would you ever drive in such a city? The public transit is fantastic.
> If it is possible to standardize some of the manufacturing process to reduce cost and control access to items with software that could be a win.

I think if you believe any savings will end up with consumers and not manufacturers, you'll likely find the manufacturers are happy to prove you wrong.
Yes, that's correct you don't need to be an insider yourself only having knowingly received information from an insider. But either way it refers only to companies. Having access to scientific observations is fair game. Legally speaking at least.
Having a bad experience when you are in a car is an natural result of mass-transit/walking oriented cities. By focusing on non-car transport, you are going to end up sacrificing things that are good for car tansport. In fact logically car must be the worse experience if we're expecting folks to make other choices.

We do that with CloudFront. Default is no cache, but some API responses specifically enable caching in the response headers (mainly the version check API).
This is brilliant: it looks at the negative space in restriction enzymes cut patterns to determine the likelihood that these sites have been engineered out. I don't see details on why they picked BSM-B1 to analyze, but the only thing is if they looked at several re sites and only reported the interesting one, that alters the meaning of the statistics to the negative of the hypothesis. (I happen to believe the lab leak hypothesis -- there are receipts if you search hard, but I think we should be careful about our evidence)

Apple App Store recommandations is 90% filled with subscription apps very few people actually use or like. Don't get me started with these pay to win games were you have to buy 'coins' or 'diamonds' to spend in the game if you don't want to wait 24h for a building or wathever before you can continue playing.

I have consulted prices for a remote virtual desktop instance for malware analysis et reverse engineering training (I don't trust home virtual machine) on Azure...

I have nothing again MSFT and think it's a company which still produces real value for its consumers on many fronts (as opposed as WeWork, for example). But the price they ask for a remote machine with very low specs is stagering. How a manager could decently believe it's a good idea to give away in 6 or 12 months the same money you could use to buy enterprise level hardware with 5x specs ?
Actually the metro is horrible in the summer, as if there was no ventilation.

> No, that would be much less accurate to say.

You don't know that. If I was premature in making a guess, you were equally premature in contradicting it. What's your interpretation? That they meant 96% of the total? I might enjoy seeing you explain how that could be true while still leaving 600K Amazon/Apple profiles to be cleaned up in a special campaign responding to media exposure. Do you think it's 96% of what they could have caught by manually examining every profile? That's no more supportable than the theory you summarily rejected. Your own guesses or assumptions are no better than anyone else's.
What was notable about CueCat is evident by the fact we're all here able to talk about it twenty years later: they sent those things to everyone. There haven't been too many modern iterations of this idea on such a grand scale, but there have been some, like the original Square card reader. They gave that away for free (later $20) and it could piggyback on any phone with a 3.5mm headphone jack.
This is a good thought but only if the company allows you to generate a throwaway email, or designates a single email for this purpose that potentially forwards to HR (to verify the employment). Otherwise this puts a massive target on linkedin back for a data breach and opens individual work emails to spam. Both would be nasty for credential harvesting (email username) and spear phishing.

The single HR email seems like the best option since they would be able to retroactively confirm employment even if you've left.
The law seems to allow software unlocking, just not subscriptions.
And yet, somehow not a single city has managed to make public transport better than a car.

The only thing they've managed is to make car transport worse, and then public transport seems better by comparison.

Here's what bugs me: I have a Firefox account. When I log into Firefox on a new machine it automatically installs all my addons and syncs stuff. So why do I have to do this crap to get the same effect on mobile? Why isn't my existing list of browser add-ons not considered a collection, that I can just use? Why do I have to jump through this hoop? It's extremely irritating when things don't "just work" and I have to suddenly care about wtf a collection is and figure out how to create one.

Edit: not ranting at you, just ranting about this stupid extra hoop

Why? Complaining about a rational and logical thing is orthogonal to something's popularity or how excellent it is otherwise.
