Well I can't speak for these places since I've never worked for them or used them, but that being said, giving up a child for adoption is very, very easy. Even fire halls take children, no questions asked.

I understand that there are regretful parents, but keep in mind these things:

1. These very parents were given the gift of making it to adulthood to make a choice they regret, something that unborn children do not get to make.

2. Adults regret many things and the choice for carrying a baby to term while adoption is such a viable option is far from the top of the list of things that someone regrets in life. It is much more likely for someone to regret getting married than for them to regret giving birth.

3. Ethics truly do matter. It is not what someone does when the manager of the bank is standing over them and they check their balance with their debit card that matters. It is what they do when the ATM erroneously displays a much higher balance in the middle of the night in a dark and seedy bar that counts. In the same way, resisting the dehumanizing characterization of unborn humans matters most in societies where this is common place enough for these decisions to carry weight, and there are many example from history that highlight the same type of moral dilemmas. It seems strange standing in the present and being confronted with a challenge that we may very well be "the bad guys" but the same was true of slavers and many other horrible types of people.
FreeIPA is nice, if over engineered and fragile. There is nothing preventing Canonical from packaging it, they just don't see enough demand probably, and for the most part, they care about ubuntu clients joining an AD domain, which I think Canonical supports.
2FA is based on the principle of "something you know" (password) and "something you have" (one-time passwords, Security Key, etc).

If you store the TOTP secrets in the vault, you effectively downgrade the 2FA into 1FA, secured by how well you protect your vault.

If your vault is properly secured with a strong and unique password on top of a second facfor then you should be good. Also keep in mind that if someone manages to breach your operating system, they could technically retrieve the vault content from the memory, or by hijacking your session cookies, etc.

You just have to be aware of the risks involved vs the convenience of having your password 2FA codes stored in the same basket.

> 1. Continue to make it so that rebuilders like Alma or Rocky can exist as bug-for-bug by having access to the source, but reach an agreement with them not to offer or sell support.

I don't know how the support business breaks down for this, but for the large customers, I can't imagine any of the little rebranding projects taking the support business that the IT dept. itself calls. "Nobody ever got fired for buying IBM," and in this case it's literally true again: RH still have some of the best technical experts.

(Imagine being a huge company with a urgent mission-critical kernel problem: you want to be able to get a Red Hat commando team parachuting in, including a Sr. Principal Engineer who specializes in hard debugging tasks in that vast code base. Not have Bob's Discount Distro's support line be lost after you say you already tried rebooting and reinstalling your global operations.)

At the same time, if anyone distro is rebranding RHEL not just as an open source hippie volunteer thing (that a lot of not-ready-to-pay-for-RHEL smaller businesses use), but also trying to make it a support business out of it, then that might be poking the lion. The hippie commune might get ripped apart in a rampage. Which might be what's happening now?

(Credible support options from AWS and maybe Oracle are a different matter.)

> 2. Figure out a way to let individuals and small developers use real RHEL without having to dick with subscriptions or licensing or activation. Be liberal with this and make it easy

Maybe CentOS had been providing this market segmentation with upgrade path to enterprise support, until recently? RHEL is not easy to switch to, and I've had a client that was very capable shop look at switching to RHEL, and nope right back, because they didn't want to learn the new bureaucracy. If they'd been able to use RHEL for free since they were smaller, becoming an RH enterprise support customer as they grew would be easy and a no-brainer.

(Docker and then K8s have shaken this up a bit.)

To add to this, I have a much deeper appreciation for all the works of Shakespeare I have seen performed rather than merely read. Even hearing certain soliloquies out loud makes them much more powerful and engaging.

I think Shakespeare is better if you suspend belief a bit in some plot machinations and enjoy the work as performed and written. It's not that you shouldn't analyze the work and think deeply on its themes, but I find that many approach Shakespeare as a philosopher first rather than as a playwright and poet.

Mainly portability of data and options for the future. I'm all on one postgres instance right now and don't plan on breaking it up until necessary. If at some point I need to take a table and move it to another type of database I want that migration process to be straightforward. If I have integer keys with sequencing behavior I anticipate having to do that porting. That internal key would then become external to do the lookup and if it's an external key I want it to be UUID for security as well. Integers as IDs are guessable so I want to keep them internal.

Apple customers are one of the few consumer segments that don't mind paying for software. Apple captures a huge chunk of app revenue, massively outsized compared to their user base and far more than Android. One of the big reasons I don't try Android anymore is the last time I did so many of the apps were adware with no option to buy an ad-free version - I guess they don't bother because Android customers statistically won't pay.

In some important ways it absolutely can be, and the emergency exit doesn't help.

If I die, life insurance pays out. If I commit suicide, it doesn't.

If I die, there are some basic optional-but-socially-mandatory costs around disposal of the corpse and a memorial ceremony. Those are fixed and measured in thousands, not tens or hundreds of thousands. My property and assets pass to my heirs. They are grieving but financially secure.

Prolonged illness can sap my reserves dry and drain me of wealth in a manner matched only by the retirement home industry. My family can watch me suffer and wilt away while watching their potential financial security drip through a hose into my veins.

> There's no absolutely safe way to dive that deep

That's true, but there are (substantially) safer ways. This design should have never been used for passengers.

I really draw the line there: innovators are free to do whatever the hell they want to do with their own lives and if a professional who really understand the risks decides that they want to take those risks they should be free to do so.

But to charge passengers for a ride requires a completely different attitude towards safety. No matter what you are going to write on your consent forms. Besides being unable to properly evaluate the risks inherent in your design they will be subject to all kinds of pressure to participate which will reduce their ability to properly assess the risks.

This is why we have different classes of aircraft, and why depending on your goals you will be assessed differently by the authorities if you intend to operate one for ferrying (paying) passengers.
While I agree with that partially, unfortunately I don't agree that it's a wise move for IBM. There is indeed a weird dynamic where IBM is basically funding third party companies to make a profit reselling what is advertised as a bug for bug compatible version of their own software while struggling to sell the original.

So, I can see the logic of IBM wanting to end that. Of course the flip side is that that might prompt those third party companies to cut loose and join forces on creating a proper alternative that is effectively an independent fork that replaces Red Hat as an upstream. Amazon would be well familiar with that playbook of course. And they already have Amazon Linux as their in house preferred Red Hat derivative. And I seriously doubt Amazon cares a lot about bug for bug compatibility. In fact the whole point for them is probably not having most of those bugs to begin with. They just want a stable upstream that they can pull changes from.

That's what makes this such a dumb move. IBM/Red Hat might get a few users to jump ship to the paid Red Hat. But most simply won't. And the further which ever fork emerges as the alternative diverges the less likely it becomes that users will still want to consider switching. Users want a stable upstream but it's not a given that IBM is the ideal steward of that upstream. And with Amazon, Oracle, Rocky, Alma, etc. all needing the same thing, the logical alternative for them would be to unite and form a foundation that takes that role.
It's modern and bold, it's just got a lot going on. It's hard to know what the hell to click on.
Is Krebs bad?
I hope no one tries to use the rust "safety" guarantees for security guards.

They are designed to prevent bugs not intentional abuse.

If perfect without bugs they theoretically might be usable for security guards, but it's not where priorities lies when it comes to bug fixes and design.

And people mistaking rust safety + no unsafe lint for "security against evil code" could be long term quite an issue for rust in various subtle ways (not technical problems put people problems).

Not if your goal is to learn about object orientated programming!

> I can't tell you how many times students have gotten frustrated trying to understand why you have to pass arguments into the constructor or, for that matter, Why the constructor is different from other method calls. "But we already said 'drivetrain' in the constructor, and over here in this other class. Why do we have to say m_drivetrain in the class also and do m_drivetrain = drivetrain?" And there isn't actually a better answer than "in other languages that learned from Java's mistakes, you don't. But we happen to be using a language that dates back to when Animaniacs was teaching kids the names all the countries, so some parts are just bad."

Do they also have nervous breakdowns every time the spell or read the word "knight"? The etymology of a language can be interesting, and they're welcome to look it up on their own time, but the sooner they learn that all of these decisions are arbitrary, the better.

When I was first learning how to use FreeBSD I was equally confounded by trying to apply logic and reason to how the commands looked and worked. Once I just accepted the fact that it was no different to questioning why the buttons were on the left side of the toaster rather than right side, or why sought and sort are two different words pronounced the same my life got a whole lot easier.

When I'm teaching kids about code and they ask "why ... " it's an opportunity for them to learn that oh-so-important lesson that in almost all cases the design decisions in software are totally arbitrary or of such obscure etymological origin that, unless you actually want to be a computer science historian, the best answer is "because".
Does anyone else notice that iOS screen recording does something to 'fix' a bug?
Hey everyone, I just wanted to ask to see if anyone else has experienced this. Often times some web page doesn't work that well in iOS's Safari app. Maybe it's a web app that doesn't seem to pass the screen input in properly, so you can't interact and change your seat during check in. Maybe it's that the webpage opened up another page for giving feedback and you find that the windowed view no longer scrolls, so you can't submit your feedback.

What's weird to me is that often times if I'm seeing something like that, I'll swipe down and do a screen recording to record the behavior. And then, lo and behold, the behavior fixes itself. You can interact with that web app. You can scroll in that windowed view.

I'm gonna go with Hanlon's law for the moment, but... has anyone else experienced this? Is there some sort of process that gets activated that does some sort of hard reset of the webpage and therefore might fix whatever process has stalled? I'd love to have a better answer than my current theory of 'it does something'.

I'm not an iOS developer, and I realize now that I've written things out that I do know enough that I bet I do some research into how the screen recording function works... but maybe someone knows faster?

Thanks y'all!

My well-documented melancholy around the state of the LLM “conversation” notwithstanding, I’ll point out that there’s a long and generally productive history of adversarial training: from the earliest mugshot GANs to AlphaZero, getting these things to play against each other seems to produce interesting results.

You're comparing a terrorist attack (9/11) to reckless malfeasance (this sub). The more apt comparison would be of 9/11 to the Andriana disaster. It's a bit ridiculous to champion the humanitarian benefits of sending a throng of people to look for a handful of people in a very unusual situation while ignoring the larger humanitarian disaster that is far more likely to happen again (ergo far more important to practice for).

And, yes, it's a zero sum game. People looking for the five rich guys are people that cannot look for the hundreds of children trapped on a sinking ship.

> Using off the shelf components is probably the best thing they did

No. Not really. It's a horrible idea. It's irresponsible. It's negligent.

Consumer grade components are not designed for the kind of reliability and failure tolerance requirements these kinds of applications have to face every mission. A simple example of this would be no conformal coating anywhere to prevent failures due to condensation on the circuit board. Also, tin whiskers due to RoHS solder. No redundancy or failure tolerance in any portion of the design. It isn't enough to say "we have extra game controllers". That's not how you build reliable failure-tolerant systems where people's lives depend on things working perfectly 99.9999% of the time.

Also, it is a fallacy to say that millions of people use these controllers. The most obvious problem with this statement is that we have zero data on failure rates and failure modes. And, of course, nobody dies. As a parallel example, you would be hard-pressed to find toy controllers on medical equipment, even in situations where there might be time to deal with failures.

> the hull was made of carbon fibre <snip> In the sub world that tried and true method is just thick steel.

Yup. Fundamental principle: Carbon fiber is best used under tension, not compression. Not a good choice for a life-support compartment under incredible external pressure. One way I think of it is: In compression you are mostly relying on the epoxy to keep things together. Without epoxy carbon fiber will support as much compression as a common string. Zero.
It’s all relative. Relative to your average American suburbanite, my carbon footprint is probably 1/10th or less.

I live in the city and walk or bike everywhere. That’s how we get out of this. Not electric cars. Diesel busses and light rail.
It is usually some combination of needing paid support if updates break things, and also generosity. Trust and generosity define the choice of paid support organization.
