> Containers have already won the war on the Linux server, there's no point Flatpak etc trying to compete here.

There are things that you just cannot run inside a container.

Also, in cloud environments, default provisioning is not done with containers, which makes sense, but directly causes the issues I mentioned, e.g. Amazon provisioning SSM on Ubuntu Server instances.
> 3. Use of the Software.

> 3.1. Use. You may authorize employees, agents, and subcontractors to use the Software in accordance with this Section 3, so long as you remain responsible for them. You may make a reasonable number of copies of the Software for back-up and archival purposes.

> You acknowledge that the Software is a preview offering not intended for production environments, and you agree that you will only use the Software in non-production environments.

Anyway, all that stuff in the docs is lovely, but if you just want to have a look:

pip install gsutil
gsutil cp -r gs://alloydb-omni-install/$(gsutil cat gs://alloydb-omni-install/latest) .

The install scripts are only 16K, look at `installer/scripts/start_alloydb.sh` for more, but basically it just runs the two docker containers listed in https://cloud.google.com/alloydb/docs/omni/install#install

Seems kind of weird, having a one-time install script to prep a machine (but only a specific type of machine!) that you then run a pair of docker containers on to me, honestly. Eventually consistent deployment states? eh. whatever...

I'm currenlty working on a project which has used styled-componentes extensively. I plan to entirely remove it (and I am considering tailwind or vaniall CSS to replace it) for the following reasons:

1. It increases mental overhead. It is not possible to tell whether a component contains pure CSS styles or adds some functionality, unless you open it and read its code (in that point, it has lost all of its benefit for me). With CSS classes or even HTML style attribute, this distinction is immediately obvious: style vs. function.

2. It clutters the codebase. You'd find all sort of little components sprinkled everywhere.

Both of the above critics could be addressed by implementing a convention, however. For example limiting the use of styled-components to a specific package. The second issue is mostly programmers' fault, not styled-components. However, with CSS I don't have any of these problems to begin with.

I have not, because I actually prefer to read the full book, even if my Tsundoku keeps growing. Another way that I look at it is that even if I compressed my unread books into summaries, I would then just get more and more summaries, ending up with the same problem.

I recommended it to you because it sounds like you really want to read the books you have or are accumulating, so you might find it valuable, even if I don't.
Ok. I do belive it. You have that entirely backwards. The Windows monopoly was leverage they used to push out competing applications. From the DOJ's proposed finding of fact (https://www.justice.gov/atr/us-v-microsoft-proposed-findings...)

"208.3. Microsoft's unresponsiveness and its actions to delay the Windows 95 license negotiations with IBM followed soon after IBM announced that it was seeking to acquire Lotus Development Corp., a direct competitor of Microsoft in messaging and office suite software, among other products.

IBM announced on June 5, 1995 a hostile takeover attempt of Lotus. On June 11, IBM and Lotus reached an agreement for IBM to acquire Lotus. IBM completed the acquisition on approximately July 5, 1995. Norris, 6/7/99am, at 35:9 - 36:12.
Among other products, Lotus offered Lotus Notes, an e-mail product, and Lotus SmartSuite, an office productivity suite, that competed with Microsoft's software. Norris, 6/7/99am, at 35:21 - 36:5."

"Microsoft repeatedly penalized IBM for competing against Microsoft

Microsoft withheld a Windows 95 license from IBM until 15 minutes before the product's launch because of IBM's preloading of competing products
Microsoft conditioned access to critical marketing support, and other terms and conditions for Windows provided to other OEMs, on IBM's not preloading competing products with the PCs it shipped
Microsoft sought to condition substantial MDA price reductions on IBM's ceasing to support competing products

My kids and I would have been pretty happy with just access to non-game elements. They must have already made loads of 3rd spaces and models - just being able to hang out and explore them would be brilliant.

I tell friends to do a bit of digging which includes looking at what's supported but also being keen to support vendors, and the models they sell, that are supported under LVFS [0]. Booting Windows, for anything, if Linux is your daily driver is a PitA. Otherwise there's always Rufus [1] and booting into a DoS environment for firmware updates (if supported) and I believe there's still potentially ways to get "Windows to Go" working still with older Windows versions.

What wifi chip are you using? Debian by default has no unfree wifi drivers included, so that can cause issues with them. If you have a good wifi adapter by a vendor that pushes drivers upstream like Mediatek, it should work just fine out of the box.

I am certain the are normally writes going on; they do run Analytics on their homepage. However they get to defer, retry and play lots of eventually consistent tricks, worst case just swallow the exceptions. The fact they can make the service _seem_ to the end user as fully working whilst being unable to write is a major factor in achieving their world beating reliability.

The motion sickness thing is a person-by-person thing, but it’s a significant percentage of folks who experience it. Enough that it would probably prevent VR from becoming anywhere near as widespread as TV or smartphones, unless it can be solved for.
I like this criticism. When we optimise for any metric we lose diversity, and the value of what we lost can be more than what we gained.
"It is interesting to note that humans, uniquely among the primates so far considered, appear to have stomach pH values more akin to those of carrion feeders than to those of most carnivores and omnivores. In the absence of good data on the pH of other hominoids, it is difficult to predict when such an acidic environment evolved. Baboons (_Papio_ spp) have been argued to exhibit the most human–like of feeding and foraging strategies in terms of eclectic omnivory, but their stomachs – while considered generally acidic (pH = 3.7) – do not exhibit the extremely low pH seen in modern humans (pH = 1.5). One explanation for such acidity may be that carrion feeding was more important in humans (and more generally hominin) evolution than currently considered to be the case [...]" - ["The Evolution of Stomach Acidity and Its Relevance to the Human Microbiome" (2015)](https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal...)
The mp4 demuxer is indeed in Rust [0], and runs in the content process (= the process in which the web page is loaded).

We don't have a h264 decoder in our source tree, we use the platform's decoder (because of patents). It's very often in a separate, dedicated process, and when it's not, it's in the GPU process, because when hardware accelerated decoders are used, they're using more or less the same resources as the rendering code.

Those other processes with the tightest sandbox possible (per process type, per platform, etc.), and don't have access to the web page.

On Linux, the platform decoder we're using is `libavcodec` from FFmpeg, but that's still in a separate process with a tight sandbox.

We're also doing something interesting, which is compiling libraries to WASM and then back to native code to get memory safety [1]. This is used when performance isn't critical (unlike codecs, so, e.g. a demuxer that we don't want to rewrite in Rust).

As a dev I've only worked for a financial company, so I don't have a comparison. I mostly agree with the above.

The locations can include the listed places. They can also include other sites like JPM at Wilmington, DE or smaller companies in smaller cities/suburbs.

The status is sort of right. One side of this that I've seen is that being on the tech side rather than the hard finance side will mean you are viewed as lower status within the company.

I get that you don’t like the current state of affairs, but your analogies aren’t good ones.

Ownership has never meant that you are free to do what you want with your property. You take the property as is, and sometimes there are even legal restrictions to what you can do with it. For example, I’m not allowed to build a slaughterhouse on my land.
One thing I will say about the Gen 10 that most of the reviews also caught is that the battery life is a step down from the gen 9 because of the decision to switch to the Intel P-series processor. If you prefer longer battery life, you can pick up a gen 9 for less money, which is what I did.

Distinctiveness has died

Always was like that and I'll tell you why to the core.

We often speak about how our behaviours are shaped so we could initially survive the saber-toothed tiger - or wild animals. But it's a huge misconception when it comes to the human race. We, human, never feared much the saber-toothed tiger simply because our brain is especially good for planning. So we always planned and hunted the saber-tooth tiger. We dont really fear wild animals that much, there is no need for confirming that simple fact.

So the question is: what does human trully fear? What, would easily kill you? Like really really easily?

We fear being rejected by the group because nothing kills you faster than being rejected by the group. Once you're rejected by the group there is two outcome 1) you're dead already because the group proceeded to beat you to death or 2) you are banned - and now, not only will you face the saber-toothed tiger alone but you will meet other groups that will get socially stronger hunting you.

Get rejected by the group and just like that, you're chance of survival has drop to zero. Or close to it. In the snap of a finger.

And that's what shape our behaviours the most. People fear nothing - nothing - like being rejected. They will lie to not be. They will deny truth, they will mate with anything as long as it's socially strong.

It's not like "we are social", no, it's you die if the group doesnt accept you. Still true today.

It possibly enables you to build the wrong thing, 10x faster.

Do you think the company will let you just have fun learning for the other 90% of the time that you can free up? They’ll just expect more output. Being able to write code 10x faster will likely not free your time enough to become a 10x problem solver.
No argument here. But I believe, as others have suggested, that Tailwind is for people who have given up on (or aren’t motivated enough to pursue) the idea that they can /ever/ learn CSS.

Adopting Tailwind is easier than thinking about CSS, even if they end result is (IME) just as wonky and disjointed as a ‘bad css’ implementation

I don't understand this need to push eating insects onto people. The "intellectual" point of view makes it even funnier.
Food is not just the sum of proteins and carbohydrates. It is wrong on so many levels to suggest that because insects are protein rich then they must be good.
I was honestly shocked by Americans not being aware of the quality of their food - it's horrible. Even in Whole Foods, or more expensive supermarkets, most of the food products are just processed crap that comes in a box. Even the quality of vegetables and fruit is questionable, the bacon is by default sweetened with sugar.
Every single European or far Easterner that comes to the US will gain 10kg without chaing their dietary habits. The reason is not too much food, or eating fast food, it is because the quality of food in the US is dreadful, all the way from the seed until the plate.
So maybe you want to eat insects, but we do not, and there is an absolute consensus about that. Hopefully one day Americans will learn what food is really supposed to be like, and start fixing their country (and health).
here's one way I love to think about it, A RAT will go all the way to try and persist, hide from AV, load other components from some remote endpoint. It will trigger so much events that can be detected by an AV. on the other hand, TeamViewer will not try to hide what Its doing, there's also a lot more stuff at play here since this is just heuristic analysis, AVs tend to be more complex and incorporate more methods of analysis like signature-based detection and integrity checking, etc...

Yes I think that is obvious. But I also think the main reason is why the eat less calories is because they have a healtier culture where eating less calories is simply easier.

If I drive my car to the city where my parents live, the only real options I have on the way are fast foods that are very unhealthy.

If I go to the store, we have sections of candy and sodas but buying an ice tea is hard.

If I go out for dinner most options are unhealthy etc etc.

Our culture is eating bread and other wheat products that are filled with calories and also have an agriculture that uses pesticides like 5-10 times a year.

snaps just create so many weird sandboxing issues with the environment. If I run "firefox" with it already open it will not create a new window, it will wait 30 seconds and generate "firefox is already running".

This is a pretty bad way to make an announcement. The abstract mentions iOS, Firefox, VLC and multiple Android devices.

1. At least 2 of those entries are software users CAN upgrade manually, but versions are hidden deep within the text. If users can take action that should be incredibly clear.

- I have been unable to quickly skim and find a version of Firefox has fixes for these.

- VLC has a fix for a use after free issue in 3.0.18, but I can't tell at a glance if other issues still persist.

2. Do we know anything about whether this is exploited in the wild or not? I can't tell from the abstract nor the conclusion.

The technical information is valuable, but anything actionable for users to mitigate effects is really hard to find :(.

[Edit] Ok, the disclosure and ethics subsection does mention that Apple, Mozilla and VLC have fixed these bugs in their latest releases, and Google and MediaTek are aware of the problems.

That's the bit I was hoping to find at a glance.
Tech support via hacker news was and always will be negative publicity. It says nothing but: "Our support is dysfunctional. People need to find non-standard, "based on luck" and "based on loudness" support escalation channels."

I'm firmly in the camp that delaying it's development could make a difference, I just don't see how that's possible. These models are relatively simple and the equipment necessary to develop them is public (and relatively cheap if we're talking about corporate or national scales). At least with nukes, there was a raw material bottleneck, but there really isn't a limiting factor here that any "good guys" could choke point. It's out there and it's going to get worked on, and the only people the "good guys" can limit are themselves.
