You're right that DANE kind of implies DNSSEC. Technically it can go without, but it's quite pointless to do because you cannot trust your TLSA record without DNSSEC.

DNSSEC works in an air gapped network when you deploy your own trust anchor in your DNS. I wouldn't touch a domain name that you don't own yourself (like google.com) but instead only use a domain name you purchased.

It surprises me that DANE is even listed on caniuse.com! I expected it to be way to exotic to be on that list. I'm under no illusion that browsers are going to support this anytime soon unfortunately.

Now let's hope I didn't wake up tptacek to lecture us on how DNSSEC is bad and how it will eat your children. ;)
I think while the name things correctly principle is nice and good to aspire to like anything at the intersection of people doing the right thing and natural language there's a bunch of places it doesn't work.

I'm usually reading code for 2 purposes. First, to understand the code and the domain. If this is the case I want to see how the code handles paid weekly versus monthly. Is it possible it's not accounting for fortnightly (biweekly) payments? If we were to account for that how would it slot in. How does `is_end_of_month` or week account for federal holidays, etc?

Secondly, to fix it. Something has gone wrong or some assumption has become outdated. The call is coming from inside the house. Nothing is to be trusted. This is most of my work to be honest, spelunking into code and trying to solve the mystery in which case I'm not going to take the current name-as-written to be factual and need to include the function call in my logical model of the code under investigation.

That's not to say I disagree entirely. Like all things in software it's a balance and you don't want to define getting a lighter color everywhere you need to use it, eventually you want to have a function that just wraps it. But over-eager splitting out of functions also incurs a working memory cost and it's striking the balance between the stack depth and memory overhead of the single function. Since the article's working memory model incurs no cost per stack frame I don't think it's well designed to encourage careful thought on this trade-off.

I'm surprised the EU was comfortable with an executive EO instead of, say, a treaty.

They do know that (excepting special circumstances like insufficient justification) an EO can usually be overturned with minimal oversight by the next administration, right?

If you want to build something, ITU-T G.703 + G.8271 (both available for free) outline how this works for telco equipment. There's a low-speed serial channel alongside the PPS / 10MHz signals, carrying the actual wallclock time. It's transported over RS422 on a RJ45 connector for PPS + side channel, SMA (or other coaxial connector) for 10MHz reference. Some devices also accept plain NMEA stanzas as input to read the clock from.

(I always thought RS422 for the PPS signal is a bit fishy, not sure how jitter-y those transceivers are. That said the hardware I've seen uses >25Mbaud high-speed transceivers [ISL3180, THVD1452], maybe those are fine in that regard.)

A modern 5G base station kinda does what you describe. All SDR these days anyway :)
The highest stress points of the rocket will be the engines. If I were to guess (which is all anyone can do), the booster can be re-used a practically indefinite number of times (>100 launches) - while the engines need to be replaced every K launches on average. They might be able to stretch engine lifetime if they are good enough at shutting the engine down on failure. If they can tolerate one flaky engine on a launch, then they can blend new engines with old engines to improve re-usability by running engines to failure. Question is how good they are at shutting down the engine as catastrophic failure could take out the whole vehicle.

Space Shuttle main engines could be re-used 3x on hydrogen/oxygen fuel, and those maintenance schedules were set in the 80s.

Not OP but I sorta disagree that this forum actively tries to avoid politics.

As the person above mentioned, politics are ingrained in society, science, art, etc. This site does not censor based on that and often has in-depth discussions around the politics of a science or society.

This site and it's moderation is also different on a wholesale level from a meta product and real moderators and users calling out something for being "overly political" is inherently different from how a meta backed service would.

We've already seen how resistant meta is to remove far-right extremist groups, as angry boomers are their bread and butter. I can see Threads optimize for certain politics that get bottom of the barrel engagement akin to various "Heritage not Hate" facebook groups that are absolutely about hate.

Why not teach them to construct state-of-the-art 3D lightfields instead? I recall building optical viewfinders using whatever lenses were available to me at 12. Why not provide kits for hands-on adaptive optics? Exactly the kinds of projects they should be doing!

Can you share how you are hosting it, photo library file types or size, and what the performance is like? I'm always skeptical of stated requirements and what other people are prepared to put up with.

I've got an older Synology NAS that currently stores my 250GB photo library with a lot of RAWs. While it can run docker I'm not going to attempt to run it there. I'm wondering if a VM on my 10700k is going to be sufficient for great performance, or if handing over the complete machine is going to be necessary. I'm happy adding more NVMe 3.0 drives for storage.

I'm also curious how version upgrades have been for you. I want to get out of the ops business but I feel like I'm going to be dragged in.

But it sends you a reminder when the time is coming up.
I've always had a fondness for SuSE. My first experience with Linux was a boxed set of SuSE 7.3 (released in 2001 with Kernel 2.4!) purchased at a Borders book store in Glendale, CA. My dad taught me how to quit vim, use make to install software, etc.

I haven't used it since then - Debian convert thru and thru - but I keep meaning to take Tumbleweed for a spin as I hear great things about it.

I would offer a slight alteration to your definition of "dogma". It's a Greek word and it was the name of wooden cubes that served as the markers of the edge of someone's property. It's more accurate to think of dogma as "boundaries" than as proscriptions.

I am saying this as an Orthodox Christian, so this is probably a different view than the view of the Roman Catholic church that you are probably more familiar with. They have definitely gone more towards the "top-down" approach than the Orthodox Church since the Great Schism in 1054.

What I mean by this is that the Roman Catholic church has a LOT more dogmas and they are much more specific than the Orthodox Church. The Orthodox Church has very few dogmatic statements and a much different view of the canons of the church.
It used to be that way, like last year. It's not any more.
>Failure to respect privacy lends itself to authoritarianism as people will self-censor if they feel they are not able to express themselves. Maybe I'm overstating this but it's a real concern of mine.

Likely not overstating it because this is exactly what has happened both historically and currently in some countries.

The need for privacy is proven, not because people need to hide criminal behaviour or menial things, but because we can't rely on people with power to always do the right thing.

The reason we have less stuff like this in the USA is due to geography. We are a mostly flat country, rather than being mountainous or separated onto different small islands. Because of this, products produced via economies of scale can outcompete higher-quality artisanal products.

It's testament to how successful some of the early privatisations were that many people now don't realise that the businesses were ever in public hands - eg British Airways, British Petroleum etc. It seems ludicrous to think they were ever nationalised industries now.
If you wanted to asses the success of privatization based on observations alone, then you would need an alternate universe in which it did not occur.

Also, according to Wikipedia, the largest shareholder for Thames Water is a Canadian public pension fund, so it is at least partially public, just owned by another country.
And in fact you probably won't create a perfect reproduction given you don't have access to the very complex RHEL build system. (CentOS didn't either.) Which makes some of the angst over just using CentOS Stream because it's not a downstream rebuild a bit misplaced.
Well, how to calculate sum from 1 to 5000 ?

Instead of looping from 1 to 5000, you define the relationship instead:

sum(1,n) = 1 + n + sum(2, n-1).

Isn't this clearer to understand problem first, instead of just looping ?

Just about every survey on this topic clarifies people are nowhere remotely near 'post-privacy.' [1] That's a random one, but they all say the exact same thing. Basically everybody, by an absolutely overwhelming margin, feels that the risks of mass surveillance (including from the government) outweigh the benefits, with a similarly overwhelming majority also concerned about how the data is being [mis]used.

The problem is our democracy is completely broken, and the fact that 80%+ of people agree on something that would even be socially beneficial, means absolutely nothing in terms of getting it done. Politicians and corporations love hoovering data for the exact same reason - perceived power. So nothing changes. And no politicians run on topics that people care about because you don't get to the point of being able to run for the presidency unless they're a billionaire, or have become really good at greasing the bellies of those that matter. And those that matter, only want even more surveillance.

It's topics like this, and others, that lead individuals like me to think our system is due to collapse. Not the issue in and of itself, but the fact we have a democracy that seems to have little to nothing to do with the interests of the people. Instead it's just propagandized crap after propagandized crap made into the issue of the day (that incidentally tends to have absolutely 0 benefit to the lives of the average American), while what people actually care about is completely ignored.

Anyhow, rant over. Point being, no nobody is "post-privacy", let alone comfortably. It's more like we're a democracy that's become "post-democracy", and seemingly comfortably so. Plato is more a prophet than a philosopher at this point.

There is already authoritarian control of the internet going on. I believe the solution is to make this control of the internet explicit, transparent and have the people be able to influence it.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with starting your own version of the World Wide Web and that’s definitely also part of the solution.

Likewise it grinds my gears when people think that a company should just do things to do them. At the end of the day they need to make a profit to be sustainable, to pay employees, to perform R&D, keep the lights on, etc. Altruism isn't enough on its own.

Why not both? Capitalizing on customers who need a solution while also helping the community? Not preparing for an influx of new business is a foolish business decision.

Is it even corruption, or is it more a lack of philosophical cohesion?

I know that the US and most of Europe differ wildly on their understanding of monopoly protection. Extrapolating, I wonder if different EU members differ broadly on what constitutes "privacy" and therefore one might expect somewhat inconsistent results on privacy decisions based on who's hand holds the tiller that day.

Fixed that for ya (based on the title of your link). Given that the article in question here suggests people were in Oregon ~18,000 years ago, that's about a ~5200 year gap for what was found here to have been buried enough to, one would imagine, withstand what occurred in your link.
It seems this Dirk-Peter guy is a long time Red Hat guy and he probably knows Red Hat Linux inside out.

This can be 2nd most important Linux distro announcement for the good of the community by a company after Canonical's announcement of Ubuntu back in 2004, but time will tell if this going to take-off by spinning a new generic enterprise Linux distro based on RHEL.

Interestingly the last Red Hat for community (most popular at the time) is Red Hat 9 before it gone fully enterprise by launching Fedora back in 2004. Coincidentally Ubuntu was launched around the same time (now most popular Linux distro). Probably the last Red Hat Enterprise is RHEL 9 as we know it.

Not the OP, but presumably this is a diminishing returns argument? Clearly a Lambo is nicer than a Fiat, but most people can't or won't pay 10X more for it. The spread between, say, the iPhone 14 Pro at $999 and the Pixel 6a at $299 is a lot smaller, so the possibility that the 'returns' are still worth it to you doesn't seem so unbelievable to me, but I do see the point that the 6a is plenty good at the basics, and so spending 3X more is unnecessary. Of course as the article points out, most people aren't choosing at random, they're invested in one ecosystem or the other to a degree, and it may just be too painful to pull up those roots.
.NET came in 2001, to be more precisely yes.

Until then it was all about ASP, Outlook, and SMB shares, nothing else.

All big stuff was on UNIX.

Again, when talking about the server room.

From 1999 to 2003, I was doing project delivery across Aix, Solaris, HP-UX, Windows NT/2000, so I might have an idea of how our customer based actually had their server rooms configured.

Likewise the university campus was wired to DG/UX, Solaris, eventually Red-Hat came into the picture as DG/UX server died.

Computer labs desktops were a mixture Windows 9X, NT, Mac and some lucky professors had a couple of NeXT Cubes, which they eventually replaced by Red-Hat (before Apple's aquisition).

So to each their own 1990's anecdote.
For some people, thinking in "functions" makes more sense than thinking in "algorithms".

The former prefers a "declaration" of THE state. for/while loops imply a change of state, so they're a big no here.

The latter prefers an "imperative set of steps" to go from initial state to the desired state. for/while loops make the "steps" easier here.

What a joke. Web standards move under our feet -- and browsers break -- all the time. I personally work for a company that forces me to work online and only pretends to support Linux. They say I have to use the latest version of Chrome (so I can't choose a browser that won't spy on me), I use it and it still breaks occasionally. I know they count on everybody using Windows and don't want to bother with Linux. So much for cross-platform. That pipe dream was proven false years ago.
I worked on a big Java project where we had to do a lot of list/collection wrangling like that. I found that code using combinator chain/list comprehensions/Streams/LINQ/etc. was significantly less error prone than code with hand-written loops.

I would guess Suse is trying to do the harder one. I could be wrong, but I think the intended audience is people that want to drop RedHat and the associated cost, but with minimal changes to everything in their ecosystem other than the OS itself.

If Suse thinks they are going to make money in this space via support contracts rather than licensing, it's sort of a "commoditize your complements" thing...commoditizing the paid license subscription part. That's a guess though. It's not clear to me how they plan to make money with this move.

Be very careful with "why do X hate Y?" Generally speaking, if someone comes out as outright hating Y, their opinion should be taken with a pound of salt.

Functional programming is fundamentally at odds with imperative constructs. It's not that people hate them, it's that they generally just don't fit the paradigm of "build a pipeline of steps (functions) and feed data into it" as well. Most of my software is functional, but you will find the occasional C-style loop, especially if the map/filter/reduce alternative is ridiculously complicated to read.
