The change had nothing to do with IBM. I know people view this with skepticism, but it's true.

The primary purpose of CentOS Stream is this: to allow a real community to be built around CentOS, where partners and users can contribute. With CentOS if you encountered a bug your only option was to file it against RHEL (not CentOS), wait for someone at Red Hat to get to it, then wait for RHEL to pick it up and release it. You would be very lucky for that whole process to complete within 6 months and if you're not a customer you probably won't be able to test a hotfix on your own systems.

Whereas with Stream: partners and downstream developers can file issues directly against Stream, and then contribute fixes directly to Stream, where they get QA'd in public and are added directly to the future release of RHEL. So Oracle Linux, Rocky, Alma and anyone else can actually participate in the process and contribute back instead of having to just take whatever RH throws over the wall.

However, the messaging and timelines around all of this were handled... not well, and some of the acrimony around that is reasonable even if the changes make sense.

I've been C++ the majority of my career, doing simply amazing shit... and a recent recruiter did not recognize anything I was discussing and asked if I even wrote code. I worked on the original PSX OS, I've delivered over 40 commercial products, all written in C++ and that meant nothing.

As per your last comment, I would likely be changing banks in that scenario, and letting them know exactly why they are losing a customer. Even if it doesn't seem like any one individual making sure that reason is documented, I do think in aggregate eventually it could be enough to make a difference with stuff like this.
My airpods generally work, but I ONLY pair them with my phone. I used to pair with my computer and other devices and it caused issues all the time.

I actually just tried to play around with what seems to be a "modern c++" boilerplate project.

It uses CMake, conan for packaging, clang-tidy and cpp-check, and has templates for fuzz and unit testing[1].

I found it because qtcreator and kdevelop were weirdly clunky and created partly broken qt projects and I figured I wanted to add a package manager and qt to the mix.

The template looks really fancy, but it's so incredibly slow, to the point of being unusable.

It's a ramble yes. But the point is modern C++ tools seem to have added some niceties to the language, but they also brought more of the main C++ issues, i.e. slow compile times and nasty boilerplate in the build process. Yes, I realize CMake isn't modern and there are a bunch of new build tools.

Thanks, but enough neuroscience studies have shown that our decisions are for the most part, on autopilot, qv: Kahneman, Tversky et al. All our "explanations" are post-hoc rationalization i.e. reality is the narrative we tell ourselves.

Our learning is also for the most part Hebbian, from childhood through adulthood. For example, a DUI might force one to rethink their transport after a night-out. Right now, some of the "shocking" predictions have a child-like brutal honesty about them. Just as a child is coached not to call that bad aunty "fatty", an AI can thus be trained to conform to societal norms.

It's fine to concede that the world isn't perfect - but saying that because you aren't well protected as a worker and that therefore immigration is wrong is nonsense.

Yeah but as father of small children, camera that is always in the pocket is hugely important for me. AFAIK Xiaomi camera app/drivers/whatever is the proper name is a signed blob that has no source available, so something more basic is used instead in those free distros. Thus photo quality suffers since its finely tuned for given sensors/lens/cpu combo. At least that's how I grokked it few years ago.

Since then I've realized phone is by far the most important device in my life, so not cheaping out on it anymore and seeing the difference in every photo.
This is the part that’s hard to capture in data.

Seeing your networth double, even if its on paper, has an impact on your spending patterns. Especially smaller, “feel good” purchases, such as ordering takeout or buying an extra drink at the bar.

You might objectively know that you can’t sell your $1M house for its current zillow estimate, but when you’re out at the bar, its easy to justify in your head that you can “afford” that extra drink. After all, didn’t you just become a millionaire?

There is a huge psychological component to money that’s somehow never talked about.

When I graduated from school in 2010, my primary experience from a previous internship was working in an outdated style of C++. Interviewing for C++ positions was so intimidating that I ended up removing all references to it from my resume, essentially disavowing that I had any knowledge of the language, and applying for Java and Python jobs instead.

that's obviously a strawman. What's being critized is the heroin-dealer model of doing business, i.e. "the first dose is free" but you'll be locked in, which seems increasingly popular among a lot of services that try to compete with the big players.
I think it's two fold:

1) I am not sure Rocky were actually re-packaging the RT stuff originally, they've got it now though.

2) RT is pretty finicky to tune correctly for your use case at the best times, and especially for use cases as exacting as the 5G RAN. I assume there is a consulting aspect to this that they are paying the CIQ folks for, but probably based on man hours or a flat fee rather than the per socket/node subscription they might have paid Red Hat.

I've often wondered if companies prefer SMS over TOTP for multi-factor authentication because it provides them with a reliable phone number for each customer.

At least one company promised that phone numbers will be used only for authentication, but was caught using them for marketing (which is exactly why I don't trust most companies with my phone number in the first place).
As a personal anecdote, all of my jobs were actually very interesting with lots of interesting design problems spanning from low level systems to very high level design decisions. Granted I worked in automotive and later in AR and have been lucky enough to be at the start of some projects, but there definitely are interesting projects for C++ out there.
> let relevant parties deal with them with libel laws if they want to

"Paul Pelosi was attacked by a gay liberal" doesn't fall into libel laws.

> Liars destroy their own credibility

And Elon Musk owns Twitter. So that destroys the credibility of the platform, does it not?

-------

There's also organizations that explicitly peddle in misinformation. See "Russia Today" (or RT), who are trying to say that Ukrainians are gay Nazis, and were banned on Twitter because of it. There's no libel law that covers this case either (no one in particular is getting defamed). Its just war propaganda and is actively harmful misinformation.
Yes? If you want to compete with Twitter you have to be usable by the bottom 5%, not just the top 20%
Sure, in a future 100 years from now when AI is an actual general AI and not the specialized algorithms we have today, one might be able to argue that it does things the same way as a person(although one would hope it does then better instead, since that's the goal).

Until then we are special and we're just pretending these specialized algorithms are replicating the things we don't even understand. Anthropomorphising the algorithms by saying they "learn" and "feel" and "experience" is us as humans trying to draw parallels to ourselves as we find our understanding inadequate to explain what's actually going on.

That hasn't changed, you are still expected to pick one up yourself except (for me) Java, the first and only language that really got "taught". Maybe that was C++ a few decades ago or something. We had to do a little bit of C for some system programming lecture.

I was once at a distributed systems meetup where a member of the audience interrupted the talk to give an extemporaneous presentation on why we should all be using Haskell.

FP advocates have a reputation for being zealous and pretentious. The only question is whether they’re right to be.
I feel like there's an analogy between cryptocurrency and MFA where the strongest proponents of each ignore the human / social factors that landed us in the regime we're in now. If the replacement doesn't accommodate for those same concerns, it's not likely to take hold.

In the same sense that transactions need to be reversible, credentials and IDs need to be recoverable. People lose their devices, forget their passwords, undergo physical change, etc. I can't wait for the day we have something ubiquitous, trustworthy, secure, recoverable, and simple.

Why do your other users need to suffer just because you have 60+ people too? How is that for an excuse to not provide better options?
Yes, the embedded space pays terrible, and the employers don't seem great on the whole. When I was at Google I got to work on embedded stuff and really liked it; but I was getting a Google salary. When I left Google I pursued IoT and embedded jobs a bit and while I was not expecting Google level compensation at all, I was astounded at what was going on there, pay wise. General software eng back end jobs pay better.

The problem is I really like writing C++ (and Rust, etc.)! So I'm cultivating other "systems programming" type career paths; DB internals, have always fascinated me, so I'm trying that direction. Working fulltime in Rust now, but it's hard to find work there that isn't crypto-tainted.

Other people have pointed out that lower pay in embedded has to do with the influence of EE salaries. Which are sadly lower than they rightfully should be.
I expected this to be about the now common pattern of subjecting people to some shit version of Alexa for 10 minutes before you eventually crack and allow them to sit on hold for someone who might actually be able to solve their problem.

Bonus shit biscuits if you allow them to get to some answer from Brenda (the brainless Alexa clone) where you basically say "great news, you can do this online". As if anyone with half a brain would have have been stupid enough to shout at their phone for 20 minutes trying to get your shitty arse robot to understand them if they could have gone online instead.
There's a certain breed of person who's ethics can be summed up as: "If nobody convicts me, I must not be breaking the law."

Agreed. The markets plunged so the Fed airdropped a ton of assistance to the 1%. I mean my portfolio went up, but I was also sitting on a lot of cash in anticipation of a prolonged market downturn. Clearly there's no reward for being financially responsible. Instead people hate on poor college grads getting $10k off their overpriced educations.

Chrome Banishes Photo Format That Could Save Space on Your Phone
I've had some pretty poor experiences with offline maps on Google Maps. There have been a few times where I've made a point to download the maps for an area a couple of days ahead of time because I knew service would be spotty. I would then drive out to the areas with spotty connectivity, and more often than not Google Maps would refuse to generate a route for a route definitely within the confines of the selected offline map. I'd have to drive back a bit by memory to find reception and then try to generate the route again. This would even happen if I was on a route, cancelled it for some reason, and then attempted to restart the exact same route while along the route it was just on.

Google Maps offline has been extremely unreliable for me and mostly unreliable when I had the greatest need for it. This was true years ago and this was true less than a month ago.

If I'm going to someplace with spotty connectivity, I make sure to put in all the main addresses and locations on my car's navigation system ahead of time. The maps might be dated but at least it'll generate a route somewhat towards the destination, even if I might need to take a detour along the way.
Honest question: Can someone who actually uses and gets value from Twit please explain the use case and value? I totally grok interest-based social, but I do not at all understand why I would want to put effort into figuring out personality-based social (beyond family/friends/blogs/etc) - particularly when posts are limited to bumper sticker lengths (unless they are just URLS to rich posts hosted elsewhere, but that's just link aggregation, which Reddit does better). Bumper stickers back and forth are not real conversations either - why wouldn't I just go to reddit or forums or even IRC (which I guess is now Discord)?
Notes on Every Strangeloop 2022 Talk I Attended
The "bad GPS reception" part doesn't reflect my experience. I have had a lot more "GPS signal lost" messages in Google Maps on various Android phones than I ever remember having with dedicated GPS units. I suspect the GPS antennas are bigger in dedicated units as well.
>I'm not well off like most people on here, I can survive 4-6 months with no salary, which I'm likely going to have to consider given my firing seems imminent at this point.

>My mind knows what needs to be done, but my body says no and I am overwhelmed by apathy.

I've been there before. I was completely burned out but had to keep working. You need to find a job where the expectations are sensible.

It took me more than 1 year find the energy to change jobs after I burned out and in hindsight I waited way to long.

Find a new job and make sure you ask questions like
1)What's the work culture. When do people usually start working and when does it end?
2)How often is there a fire that needs to be put out?
3)If I need to take a 2-3 week vacation, would that be considered normal?
4)Are deadlines set in stone or frequently accelerated?

A healthy job environment will help reignite the part of you that has gone dead. It might take years, but you'll get back some of the faith and motivation you once had.

It took me 3 job changes to find a job with a good working environment because I simply didn't have the guts to ask employers the tough questions about the working conditions. With my current job I was very direct in asking questions about work/life balance and the manager and good managers/employees were equally direct in giving me answers. Being in a healthier work environment has done more for my mental health and personal life than anything else did.

The authoritative database is owned by Neustar[1] and is non-public.

There are entities that subscribe to the service and fulfill those queries (such as unlec.com or whatever reseller they're getting the information via).

But the Neustar revenue model is to charge per query which is why that site limits the number of queries one can perform.

Every time you place a phone call in US or Canada, the originating carrier does a lookup against the Neustar-NPAC database (also called a "dip") to determine the routing destination for your call.

Only after that response (called a "LRN" or location routing number) is received does call routing truly begin.

I'm also a big fan of the Burton Sweeney Todd adaptation. I've heard more musical-inclined folks complain about various components of the movie but for my money it's a lot of fun and the performances are all solid. Particularly liked Alan Rickman and Tim Spall as the villain duo.

Oh, and Sasha Baron Cohen as Pirelli the barber is pretty great too!
Same here. Probably Rocky spends too many resources in PR. Twitter, mattermost... Meanwhile, Alma just make new releases and patches, quietly.

In particular, https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-47/chapter-I/subchapter-B... has what seems to me like pretty strong language:

> 47 CFR 52.34(c) Telecommunications carriers must facilitate an end-user customer's valid number portability request either to or from an interconnected VoIP or VRS or IP Relay provider. “Facilitate” is defined as the telecommunication carrier's affirmative legal obligation to take all steps necessary to initiate or allow a port-in or port-out itself, subject to a valid port request, without unreasonable delay or unreasonable procedures that have the effect of delaying or denying porting of the NANP-based telephone number.
