Sounds like you're a good sysadmin and mentor. There's no possible way
you should have to take on the burden of schooling everyone. You
probably already go far beyond the call of duty.

What we need to do with Digital Self Defence is raise awareness of
civic cyber-security needs from school ages 5 upwards (My government
in the UK have started on this project). We also need to screen for
digital literacy.
Not sure why you’re coming at me for expressing apprehension. Ease off the throttle, please.
Developers just need to understand everything because we need developers to do everything and meet all deadlines. We wouldn't dare consider a support role that could troubleshoot it because then there would be no point to having developers that can do everything! /s
> You post something via the Facebook "blue" app...get a notice that it's been seen by a few people, so pay a bit to get it seen by more and all of that is done via that one app....so an "in app purchse".

I just don't see how this is something other than a simplified way of buying an ad, like in the Ads Manager. Sure, there are influencers and wannabe-influencers who pay to boost their posts for clout or something, that doesn't change the fact that this has a real business application. And for that use, it seems like Apple is modifying the status quo by taking something that used to not be an IAP (buying an ad) and deciding that you can't have a new way of buying one without using the IAP system. Maybe it was actually about whether it's all in one app or not rather than the nature of the purchase. But I don't think that describes the status quo of how these rules work, wouldn't the logical extreme be that you should be able to buy Kindle books in the Amazon Shopping app?
I think this is untrue, if you're contrasting to "conservatives"* Conservatives fear the effects of fast change and unintended consequences, but do still care about human rights and the exploitation of vulnerable populations.

* The caveat here is that I do think there is a significant minority of people who call themselves conservative or progressive or whatever, who are not on the side of a better society, but are only for themselves.

Didn't know about this one. There's quite a few labs/sandbox SaaS but what I've seen so far is that they are more for training with a "follow the recipe" model (do this do that to configure something, rather than "this (real) server is broken, fix it (with possibly different solutions)" which imho is more real-life and useful.
50% I think Stadia was just a matter of "me-tooism" on the part of Google. So many vendors rushed out cloud gaming products without any consideration if users wanted them.

The other 50% is that it was a huge lost opportunity. Google Cloud has monster servers that can take a large number of GPUs, such a system could stream a complex world to 30+ users simultaneously. If you wanted to make something like the fictional Sword Art Online (just not deadly) that's the way to do it.

Some people would say that games should be driven by story or gameplay, not technology. I don't disagree. But some great game developers have been technology first, such as Id games. Google is not going to win in terms of story, but they can win in technology and they should have given it a try. Even if game didn't work out the IP could have been licensed to somebody who could make the story work. But no, Stadia was ultimately meaningless.

Might be helpful in answering some questions.

Original thread: https://www.phoronix.com/review/intel-core-i9-13900k
The Redhat Certified System Admin, Redhat Certified System Engineer and similar tests require practical, general hands-on skills to solve broken systems. The performance tuning and troubleshooting exams go into more detail and more complex scenarios. No internet access, but resources are available if you understand how to use them. Would never suggest people should solely hire on those certs, but if someone takes the time to complete 7 hands on tests for the certified architect certification, it's a strong indicator they have skills.

Even so, test taking can be stressful but it's arguably less stressful than actual production support with people waiting on the result. Whether people really want to put candidates in a stressful situation is up to them. Sadserver seems like it's somewhere in the middle vs some of the things I've seen. One job interview put me in a room with a boot cd, and an ancient computer with a cdrom so slow you got exactly one chance to boot the media and recover the system in the time limit. But the job was for a trading company, so if you couldn't handle that they didn't want you. It was a fun exercise but would I do that to someone else? Probably not.
I think they mean 'are you aware of the limitations of Leetcode-like tests and the downsides of their (over)use in hiring processes?'

(FWIW I think this is a very cool and fun educational project regardless of what usefulness it might or might not have in IT hiring decisions, and I'm looking forward to playing with it)
That kind of explains the general attitude around here of when someone introduces a new experimental tool or alternative, and the comments are full of "you should be using x, y, z because it's the industry standard and that is what scales!"
You seem extremely vested[1] in this, and have been very active in this thread - are you affiliated with the freshly-registered company? If so, I'd encourage you not to hide behind a throwaway because it gives the impression that you don't want to stand by your words.

Well I know exactly where you're coming from then. I'm in a very similar situation to yours where the past two jobs I had burned me out. Now I'm in a new position (same as you, 4 months in) and it's much better, yet I still have trouble doing my work. And by better, I mean I'm learning new things and there's less pressure. Unfortunately, some things at this company are disorganized and I constantly hit roadblocks which kills my motivation.

So I'm just trying to trudge along and progress when and where I can, and try my best to get my work done. I'm fortunately working from home, so no commute to add to the burnout. I've also not had a decent vacation in years. I did take two weeks off between my last job and this one, but that was mainly to catch up around the house. I tried to negotiate vacation time at this position, but they refused, which means I'm slowly accruing PTO. I'm hoping by April I'll have enough to take two weeks off and go somewhere nice.

I'm not sure I have advice that others haven't given. But it can get better. Rely on your wife or family if you can to help with the kids and house, and push them for help if need be. Find a therapist if you think that could help. Make sure to keep work and life separate as much as you can. Meaning be sure to unplug from work when you're home, and to have as few distractions from home while working. If you do find yourself getting distracted at work, see if you can walk away for a bit (even literally go for a short walk). Also, rely on your coworkers to help you. Ask, even nag, them for assistance if you get stuck. Try to make friends at work, and maybe push for fun, team-building events if that doesn't currently happen. I think showing you're trying will be big if your boss thinks productivity isn't where it should be.

Good luck!
They would have to consist of a huge fraction of the market in order to do price fixing, but the highest percentage of purchases I have ever seen referenced is about 10% of purchases in a time period, which doesn't get anywhere close to having a significant number of the housing stock.
The dynamics of how humans can communicate with each other, especially in spontaneous occasions like this, are so interesting.

From what you’re explaining, the expression wasn’t something necessarily standardized “code yellow” sort of thing. Could two novices been able to convey or comprehend the meaning between themselves?

It may not only be benevolence though. The JVM and Graal are not the only game in town anymore. Webassembly is growing in various areas, clienside, edge, backend. WASM fills much of the same needs as Graal, and then some since it’s embedded in every major browser.

This move is good for Graal, as it will help it compete, but there’s still a big question in my mind at least about if Graal is going to be able to compete long-term. Yes, I know Graal can also execute WASM generated binaries, so it may have a space in this environment, but will it outperform native WASM VMs? And will WASM become the de facto binary format for shipping things where JVM bytecode has been used in the past? What’s Graal’s place in the future?

I don't see the appeal, by the time you learn to make simple things with these proprietary tools you could learn making simple things in Flutter, React Native and similar frameworks, which you can keep using for complicated things as well.

Relational databases have dominated since the 1980s. You have a handful of options that differ mainly in terms of price and features. They all follow the same model and will imply the same or very similar application code. You can pay for Oracle, SQL Server, or DB/2, or go with the free/open source PostgreSQL or MySQL. For many applications SQLite is a good fit.

I don't know about the other tens of thousands of databases out there, I certainly have never heard of that many. You have various NoSQL options from Redis to MongoDB, Cassandra, various object-oriented databases, column-oriented, document databases, etc., all of which fall into a small number of general groups that target specific applications and requirements. Unless you work on hobby projects and like to experiment I can't think of a reason to look at hundreds or thousands of obscure databases.

> I imagine that the minimum qualities of a database are: immutable, ease of use in any language, performance, ease of querying and manipulating data, easy to configure, maintain and scale, lightweight, among others. Every time I go to choose a db I always come across some critical problem.

An "immutable" database (read only) would have limited value. "Easy" describes your subjective experience and opinion, not a quality of a database. Maybe list some of the "critical problems" you encounter. Certainly most non-trivial applications use databases without dealing with "critical" problems.
The challenge is when you research any hobby you run across people demonstrating things on youtube that have monetized it. This is because of SEO and they have engineered their content to show up in the best way possible. What you aren't seeing are all the people that like to just do stuff for the fun of it. The ones that do stuff for the fun of it and post poor quality videos online aren't going to surface in results as much.

From watching some hobbyists who turned professional, turning a hobby into a successful youtube channel looks to involve: script-writing, video capture, video editing, lighting, sound, audio editing, SEO optimization (thumbnails, descriptions), affiliate marketing, analytics, and also doing the actual hobby. Also you have to be really good, entertaining or different in some way that sets you apart.

At least judging by the video, this doesn't look like something that would be a practical choice for a lot of residential situations relative to existing solar options. Maybe on larger apartment buildings? It would be cool if it were, I mean here in New England we get lots of wind, all the time.

On the other hand snowshoes though look nothing like snowshoes from 50 years ago.
Very true, that's a good way to look at it. They're definitely great value for money compared to ~$100 cheaper but filled with SMM level bloatware alternatives.
> Online applications are indeed ridiculously long, yet somehow, when a recruiter contacts you from LinkedIn or other method, they do not require any of this info. No formal resume, no references, nothing.

This is one of the reasons I don't fill out job applications anymore. If there is a company I would like to work for I find their recruiters on linkedin and reach out to them. Though my past few jobs have come from either a recruiter messaging me with a position and me messaging them with any open positions they are trying to fill. The last time I filled out a job application I was in college applying to my first tech job.

I don't consider wordpress plugins a value. The more plugins you install, the higher the attack surface and less tested your overall setup is.

I am a developer with 30 years of experience. I installed a WP site for my wife with some plugins and themes. Within a few days I had tons of porn and 100 megabyte files being dumped on the server. I tried cleaning it up a ton of times, and looked for whatever plugin or script was being exploited.

After a few more days Google flagged it for being compromised, so I erased the server off amazon after some content backups, created a new server and deployed a Docker image with static content. Then I wrote to google saying I have deployed something that is impossible to hack: A static site being deployed in Docker so the host is not compromise-able. Google cleared the flag the next day.

> The fact is, today's laptops get you both.

And tomorrow's laptops will be even better at that compute-battery ratio! Cycling an Intel 8th gen i5 for a 12th/13th gen i5 is meaningless if 8th gen satisfies your needs.

EDIT: I suppose I should mention I use Linux, so I've already accepted performance over battery-life since power management on Linux sucks no matter what shiny new chip comes along.
GraalVM is truly great stuff.

GraalVM native compilation helps Java in the data center to avoid being a cost sink and to reduce start-up latency. Oracle needs Java to sell enterprise software.

Oracle contributing to OpenJDK may be required for Amazon cooperation (since Amazon is pushing its own JDK build) and probably helps the library ecosystem work towards native compatibility.

Native support for reflection (used in many libraries) requires "reachability metadata", maps of reflective API usage, at build time. Anyone can do it, but enterprise requires authoritative sources. Until authoritative reachability metadata covers the transitive graph of library+version dependencies in enterprise software, GraalVM native AOT builds are a PITA.

- https://github.com/oracle/graalvm-reachability-metadata

- latest release: https://medium.com/graalvm/graalvm-22-3-is-here-jdk-19-build...

- graalvm "community" roadmap: https://github.com/orgs/oracle/projects/6

(As a side note: Mark Reinhold has run the JDK team since 1997: is there any comparable example of such stellar leadership for broadly-adopted software across multiple technical and organizational eras?)

no, MSFT wants to sell software workers the signing keys to boot and use the cloud each day. It is their worldview as the largest OS monopoly company, and antithetical to individual rights to owning your own equipment. Similar moves as tractors that phone home constantly.

Regardless, I would still argue that setting up some panels and connecting them to a laser is fewer steps than setting up an array of carefully aligned mirrors and constructing a whole other building of mirrors that focus bounces from those into a point.
The progress of aviation technology fascinates me. We went from the wright flyer to the B-52 in just 50 years and then in the next 70 years went from the B-52 to... pretty much still the B-52 (at least in terms of payload/range/airspeed).

You could probably come up with something similar to Moore's law for for those stats over those first 50 years. Makes me wonder if/when computing will reach a similar plateau. It's felt like we're close for a while, but at least if you allow for a somewhat flexible definition, it just keeps trucking along.

I believe the company was founded by some coworkers of mine way back when at Rackspace who often interviewed Linux admins with a lab VM and I assume they just automated the setup and spun it off as their own business. At least that's what happened as far as I can tell; I didn't know the parties involved.

This statement does not mesh with companies that release open source software with paid employees working on the core roadmap but contributors getting rewarded for significant contributions (and those can be small or huge) as well, nor with foundation-backed open source projects that pay people to work on those projects even if the direction of those projects are fully community-governed.

"Being a company" and "releasing open source" are not mutually exclusive, you're just paying people for spending their time working on your project. You don't pay the reviewers, you pay the contributors, if their contribution was worth it. And they will know whether that will be the case before they even start any work because that's what issues and discussions are for. If you want to do something, and the project owners go "that's not a thing we need", you know that up front.

Most backup systems allow you to explore backups and extract individual files. Testing a bunch of files for restoring is at least better than completely ignoring it.. however it's difficult if it turns out part of your backup is simply missing, maybe an erroneous exclusion entry or some path miss (happened to me, I was without backup for a home folder for a year before I noticed it, the /home/user/ was a symlink to another volume that mostly had tmp data and so wasn't backed up). You might not even notice this even if you restore the whole backup, because you can't really be expected to go through everything every time either..
