Native cloud computing has hardly any UNIX on it.

Those language runtimes could be running directly on top of a type 1 hypervisor and no one would notice.

Other than barebone VMs, UNIX has hardly any meaning on cloud workloads.

There is a reason why Linux distributions tailored to run only containers after init are getting traction.

Similarly, sticking to UNIX APIs won't bring anyone that far in mobile OSes, even if there is an UNIX like kernel somewhere at the bottom.
This a a pretty reaching take. The standard model has lots of short comings and definitely doesn't survive everything we throw at it, namely gravity and likewise general relativity.
The biggest problem using these drugs for weight loss is they need to be used as part of a program that also includes making lifestyle changes. If you don't push the changes and just do things to your limits, when you stop the drug, your unchanged habits make you gain the weight back.

This is one of the biggest things people with obesity struggle with. This is seen as a miracle cure for obesity because it doesn't require work, just a weekly injection and watch the weight melt off. But making lifestyle changes (changing eating habits, increasing activity, etc) is the most reliable way to make this a permanent fix.

But that's putting the patient to work and they don't want that.
I think then the question becomes "Why use PowerShell rather than other scripting languages that give you objects?"

I'm certainly not saying PowerShell is bad to use but if you aren't on Windows you're probably already scripting in Ruby or Python or something like that.

Then if your script becomes more of a serious thing, all the stuff you're interacting with probably has a Python SDK and you'll never find that with PowerShell.
> Remember that Windows didn't get built-internet access until around Windows 98, while Macs were on the internet at least half a decade earlier.

IE came bundled with Windows since 95 OSR1, and I'm pretty sure 95 had built-in tcp/ip stack since launch. In contrast Macs got bundled MacTCP in System 7.5 (1994), and Apples early web-browser forays (Cyberdog) were notably short-lived.

Furthermore MS invest heavily on stuff like MSN pretty much from the get-go. And of course can't forget IIS/ASP, one of the most popular web platforms during its heydays.

More relevantly to the topic at hand, Xbox launched with Xbox Live pushing console internet connectivity and multiplayer well ahead the curve.

Are these really signs of company thinking internet being a fad?
Caveat: I'm the founder of a VC-backed startup, so my perspective is likely skewed.

The VC mode of thinking becomes a lot clearer when you realize that their returns are completely driven by moonshots. Something like 1% of the portfolio will drive 56% of the returns. As a result:

(1) It costs them nearly nothing if a startup goes to 0. Most of their portfolio will go to 0.
(2) Conversely, it will cost them a ton if they miss a potential moonshot. Even if the idea sounds dumb on face, if there's a chance it becomes big, the VC needs to be in it in order to survive.
(3) There's reputational risk at play for the individual VC investor. Every VC will have a low hit rate, so they're not worried about looking dumb losing money on some startup going to 0. What they are worried about is being known as the person who passed on the next Airbnb despite getting a look.
(4) Later stage VC funding becomes an access game — there's more capital than good ideas, and so these companies can have their pick of the litter. This means, as a VC, you need to prioritize being founder friendly and having a pre-existing relationship with a company. As such, you'll see VCs throw in $1m to $10m checks without much though, with the hope that if the company every does scale, they'll be able to write a sizable follow-on.

It's weird to think about if you're used to public markets, where hit rate matters a lot more and diligence is centered on "why should I invest". In VC-land, the burden of proof is flipped.
Seriously, the single time I've made eggs work without having a layer of stuck egg at the end, in cast iron, was on this immaculately-maintained ancient cast iron pan in an AiBnB on a Mennonite farm, and even that only worked because I cooked them in a bunch of sausage grease, probably amounting to 10x the fat I use in teflon (butter, in that case).

But, I usually make scrambled, and you need tight, lowish temp control for those, which is one thing teflon really excels at (cast iron and stainless need higher temps to prevent sticking)

The problem is that we're not talking about well educated adults making a conscious decision about eating shit food and ruining their lives. We're talking about entire generations of kids who don't know better being purposefully fed addictive food which will ruin their health.

Fast forward 10 years later and you'll get a very concerning blood work result. (I don't wish it on you but the web is full of "fat/skinny/I only eat junk food and I was healthy until I hit 45 and discovered XYZ is 5 times over the recommended limit" stories)

Also you might have a damaged thyroid or other similar health issues, I know a few people coming from an industrial region known for pollution, they have more thyroid issues than the average, as a result they can eat 6+ times a day and much more calories than you'd expect while not packing a gram of fat.

Ukrainian Railways are operating even close to the front lines (where physically possible due to destruction). Outside of those the service is pretty much as usual — both sleepers and daytime intercity. Sometimes there are delays if the electric grid gets hit by the missiles, but then they just attach a diesel locomotive to pull the train instead.

International connections work too. My mother recently came to visit it us here. She took an intercity from Przemyśl, Poland on the way here and then a sleeper to Wien, Austria on the way back. Both arrived more or less on time.
> GitHub is NOT trivial, and it is extremely browser centric. Trying to just download a file is an exercise in frustration if you're not familiar with GitHub. Copying a link to your clipboard that can actually be used to download a file is next to impossible, unless you already know how to use GitHub.

> I can fully understand why the competition organizers specifically forbid the use of GitHub in their rules.

These concerns and specifically banning GitHub (the version control platform) were never mentioned by the organizers. The only reference to GitHub is in a section explicitly about pre-built template and sites like Wix that generate websites. At the very least we ought to recognize that the rule is ambiguous and ought to be amended.

I agree with you regarding the general population.

I also hope we can agree that not everyone attains meaningful weight loss with just diet and exercise. The human body is incredibly complex, with a spectrum of natural compositions, metabolisms, etc. Your post dismissing these nuances risks being interpreted as “thin privilege” (my wife is a Dietitian and taught me the concept).

For what it’s worth, I’m against treating drugs like this as a first line of defense against obesity; it should be seen as the last step before bariatric surgery, and only used under the direction of a competent and ethical health professional.

Yeah, feel free to spend the $1200/mo for it then. Because that's off-label use when there are drugs in this class with on-label weight loss use. And sometime this year, tirzepatide is expected to be among them.

The coupon was changed because people were abusing it. This drug is approved for diabetes, not weight loss.
> That only works if there is a type of object for each and every type of output you will ever need.

Everything returned by the built-in commands is. If you are calling some executable, yeah, then you'll need to wrap it. I do recommend wrapping commonly used executables with things that return PowerShell objects. Tedious at first but as you build up over time you find yourself straying into string parsing less and less.
Or high carbon steel. Nonstick pans really aren’t a necessity for cooking.
One fallacy of web design, of any design, is that in order to be “good” it must be easy.

First, you probably mean incursion, there was no Scandinavian inquisition.

And no, it isn't true. First, remember that by the time the first churches were built on the Scandinavian peninsula, Christianity had existed for about 700 years. Before that time, Christian ideas had perculated up and been incorporated, in garbled form, in Norse religion.

And even after that, they had 300 years to get to know what it was about until being Christian became a civic obligation like it was in the rest of Europe.

The viking raiders absolutely were savages, but the Norse did not identify with them, the way we equate them today. For them, viking was just the word for pirate, and if you did it - as could be tempting, seeing your neighbours come home with loot - you still probably wouldn't want to brag about it.

Amazing how there's no room for self-control or accountability in these discussions. There's a reason most of the world isn't addicted to heroin...
Also, critical thinking is a social phenomenon.

You make sense of the world based on the sources you trust, and that trust is created gregariously by learning to rely on what your peers are sharing as trustworthy. The time and effort needed is shared with the group, and the resulting wisdom of the crowds filters out the most outrageous messages from the outside, developing a 'groupthink' that establishes a consensus of what is "common sense" for the group.

However, someone with the power to broadcast messages to the whole group can overcome that group processing, and sway the whole group to a different way of thinking.

If you're a chef with a bunch of pans, one or two of them probably should be carbon steel.

The word "easier" in your quote is a lie.

Working with text output is easier because it's uniform, conceptually simple and easy to debug.

Working with hierarchies of objects is a lot more complicated. Comparing things becomes a nightmare. Working with unknown hierarchies becomes a nightmare. It's a lot harder to work with objects. But, in some situations it's more rewarding because it eliminates certain classes of errors. I.e. you put more work in, and get arguably better results.

The problem with PowerShell approach is that it's attempting to do it on the wrong level. The operating system and the programs it runs have to understand structured input and produce structured output. The system also needs to provide serialization protocol so that multiple systems can communicate with each other not breaking the illusion that they are using objects. However, object RPC is not a solved problem...

In other words, PowerShell is a pretension. It solves some easy problems and if you don't give it enough thought, you may think that it will solve harder problems too... but it turns out there's some fundamental problem with this approach. So, it's OK to use it as a gimmick, but I would never consider using it as a replacement of Unix shell (no matter how much I hate it).

Thin waist + more muscle? Seems pretty normal :) Good for you!
True. One of the issue is the different gauges. This used to be avoided by variable-gauge Talgo cars, and now by high-speed trains (TGV) on standard gauge on the Spanish side. But AFAIK there are no sleeper high-speed trains, and I am not even sure those Talgo are still running (and they also were not sleepers when they did run). So even in the best cases there could be connections but no direct services. Also, there will be only 2 possible routes because of these pesky mountains.

There are several ways to work around that though, and I think this will happen in the reasonably near future.
Yeah. I see you are asking some of the same questions. After reading, the best answer I could find is that "quantum vacuum" is totally different than "classic vacuum".

If a company is hiring someone/a company in LATAM, they'll expect to pay LATAM level wages, which are considerably lower than $80k USD.

The numbers I'm aware of, put the highest paid employees in LATAM at around half your expectations (of course, it's very country dependent).

Entering a foreign country with the intention of self-employment usually requires a work-visa. You'll need to sort that out.
Opening a company in that country will likely require proof that you are authorized to be self-employed.

Even if you open the company in Europe, but do the work in LATAM will likely pose tax obligations from the country in LATAM as you'll be (likely) residing there.

I think that's the biggest hurdle you'll have to sort out, and what I'd focus on first.

I expect it to be difficult, but could be worth it! Good luck!

Nope, there's no way that's true. Microsoft is only succeeding in cloud computing based on their existing reputation and business relationships, and software they managed to port as a service (O365). Without those their cloud would have crashed and burned as the buggy, slow, unreliable, insecure [1] mess that it is.

1 - if you feel like disputing the security record of Azure, they're literally the only big public cloud with more than 0 (and multiple at that!) critical cross-tenant security vulnerabilities, at least some of which were extremely trivial to exploit.

Teflon is not toxic, its used in medical implants. Its made from a gas - tetrafluoroethylene. It has nothing to do with PFAS.
I'm not in the least bit surprised about that. My understanding is that Nextdoor, which is a social media service for local communities, is also a drama-filled nightmare. I'd be shocked if equivalent Reddit communities didn't share those same issues. That has nothing to do with Reddit, per se, and more about how local community forums can be pretty damn toxic places, unfortunately.

Most *nix commands already output binary where needed. Text is just how they're interpreted by the terminal because the terminal understands only text, but when you for example redirect a command into another command, if the 1st one spits out binary, the 2nd one gets binary. Typing cat /dev/urandom garbles the terminal because it's binary and the terminal doesn't know how to print it, but cat /dev/urandom|hd prints just fine because hd turns binary data into a ascii hexdump. A program will be more comfortable with reading the 1st, a human very likely the 2nd.
For me, really finally understanding this point about Emacs was nothing short of enlightenment.
> If you have e.g. a reviewed scientific report on an issue, you will not be better informed if you augment that information with a rant from a bumbling fool.

1) The scientific method is a great thing. But given how many peer-reviewed scientific papers are not reproducible, having a healthy skepticism of all forms of knowledge you see might be wise.

2) It's sometimes a challenge to look past our own biases, but wisdom can come from many sources. A deranged looking country bumpkin can give a raging rant that's 80% illogical nonsense, but he might come up with 1 connecting idea that nobody else thinks of due to a unique vantage point and life experience.
> I always have gmail open in a tab on my work laptop, is that also not acceptable?

Depends on your industry and other security-paranoia factors. Here gmail is blocked as a potential data exfiltration risk.

In any case: key differences between gmail on a tab and an app like tiktok¹ on your phone include: your tab is far less likely to have access to your global contacts information or to other things stored on your device, isn't tracking your location and reporting it back along with your contacts list and potentially what-ever else it can read, etc.

Turkey's most popular social media permanently blocked for misinformation
Ekşi Sözlük is Turkey's oldest(founded in 1999) and most popular social media. The site has been blocked by the Turkish ISP's upon request of the Turkish presidency. The company running the website is incorporated in Turkey and is sometimes criticised for removing content upon legal request without fighting back. The founder of the website is a Microsoft alumni Sedat Kapanoglu, currently living in the USA.

According to the statement by the company, Erdogan's administration didn't even bother to point ot specific content, doesn't request content removal this time. They say the website was used to spread misinformation and cast a bad light on the government and the institutions by showing them as weak after the recent Earthquake.
