Really? I mean good on you, but I’ve never seen such an arrangement in my 30 years of working in various mega corps. Usually they end up in the hands of vendor relations, but typically in no one’s hands and the expectation is the vendor works with us through TAMs. Most companies have their vendor relationship model based around negotiated licensing agreements and software delivery, and the saas delivery model is fairly recent. At a certain scale and age these things are pretty hard to change, so things like this aren’t well accounted for. It gets more complex when we have a federated model where we have one global relationship with the vendor but teams use the saas individually. Then the email address on the account is subsumed either in some automation or onboarding process used to ensure no engineer has the ability to reset credentials unilaterally.

Your model is a smart one. It’s smart enough it tells me you’re either a small company or a newer company, or both, or a company with a rarely together vendor management team.
Good point, updated that to a jsfiddle.

That would be pretty stupid to do with Rails, there's a pretty high cost to starting jobs, so it makes more sense to batch everything.
I addressed the fact that you're conflating over a hundred years of systematic disenfranchisement with an some imagined flaw in Black culture. I've taught black kids and I've taught white kids, and there is not a cultural difference between them that explains why one group generally succeeds in life, while the other generally flounders.

> I remember reading about certain African-American immigrants being focused on education and doing fairly well

From the Harvard Business Review: "In the United States, where 13.7% of the population is foreign-born, immigrants represent 20.2% of the self-employed workforce and 25% of startup founders". So, this pattern shows up for immigrant communities in general, it is not evidence that Africans off the boat from Africa have a different culture that makes them more likely to succeed than their American counterparts that have lived in America for generations.

The idea that a historically disenfranchised group is unsuccessful due to certain "cultural values" does not hold water. It's just a way to ignore history, and in turn ignore and excuse existing biases.

> There are still other people who don’t marry because they lack a decent opportunity. Girls who choose nursing as a career, for example, cut their marriage prospects at least fifty per cent. It is much the same for librarians and social workers. In fact a girl can reduce her chances of marriage merely by going to a girls’ college.

Ok. So OwnCloud Infinite Scale customers are not using open-source software but a proprietary product closely related to some open-source code. Just like users of VS Code, Google Chrome, macOS, most distributions of Android, IntelliJ IDEA, GitLab, etc. And like other OwnCloud Enterprise customers.
The courts will strike this down as well. I don't see it ever happening as long as the U.S. doesn't change its laws regarding privacy of non US citizens and possibly US citizens as well.

Everyone in my surroundings (yes, anecdotal) is switching more and more to EU alternatives, and only uses US cloud-based software, if it can be used on-prem or inside EU datacenters.
Interestingly that today we laugh at the fact that there is a book helping people how to make one of the most important decisions in their life. It is normal to have books about how to cook food, how to travel, how to exercise. But God forbid there should be a book on how to select a good marriage partner.

I have a smart RSS reader I am working on called YOShInOn. The main UI looks like TikTok or Stumbleupon, I can thumbs up, thumbs down or favorite articles, out of maybe 2000 articles a day it picks maybe 300 to show me, maybe I really read 200 on the average day.

Once the articles get favorited though there is the problem of navigating them, I just added some simple text search capability but there is a huge amount of room for improvement there. If it gets the ability to ingest articles via bookmarklet than it becomes a bookmark manager, add some ability to enter notes locally and it becomes a more general knowledge base manager.

It could really use "tags" but when it does these will be tags for the ML age, particularly it will be possible to have positive, negative and indeterminate tags. If the ML system thinks a tag applies it goes into indeterminate status and could be set to negative or positive to make it a training example.

It is a very interesting and uncomfortable notion in American politics and I do agree with Dr.Chomsky's "Manufacturing Consent" and particularly the shift of both left/right-wing American politics away from class towards identity politics.

However I'd take it a step further and disagree with Dr.Chomsky and argue that increasingly "the consent is not manufactured" per-se by the evil advertisers, politicians or Illuminati who are attempting to keep control; but rather I believe by Americans themselves who feel otherwise powerless in the political and capital processes. By that I mean, both a working-class black American in Detroit voting for the pro-immigration policy of the Democratic party - or a working-class white American in Detroit voting for a regressive tax policy of the Republican party is voting for policies extremely to hostile to their own economic interests.

But they do so anyways in a quasi-religious manner like the working-class of Europeans did in the 18th century prior to the Manifesto - precisely because of faith (in Christ, humility and work ethics) which gave meaning and sublimation to their otherwise horrendously and explicitly exploited livelihoods by the nobility. And this religious zeal of "humility" to one's tribe trumps even one's economic interests and gets then in terms co-opted and amplified by political, marketing consultants and the "invisible hand" of the YouTube algorithms of our 20th century - looking to capture and monetize a "demographic authenticity".

If George Orwell was alive today, he might be tickled to add the addendum to Marx's quote "religion is the opiate of the masses" (a la "all animals are equal...") to that of "religion is the opiate of the masses; some identity-based religions however are more profitable than others".
I agree, though in the better games (most of them, I would say) this kind of thing was a) hard to get yourself stuck in if you were making a careful play-through and/or b) not fatal, only costing you the "best" ending or some final score points.

The best games (again, I'd cite The Colonel's Bequest) had numerous game-stage dependent side-quests and optional puzzles or secrets that made for rich replay value.

Overall, I wouldn't undersell the value of the possibility of failure & the frisson it provides over a carefully guard-railed world.

There's certainly an aggressively evil way to structure games like this. The first that comes to mind is Infocom's The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, but it's hard to escape the impression that the sadism towards the player was meant to be part of its charm.

KVM is a Linux kernel implementation of the cpu extensions to accelerate vms to near bare metal speeds.

Qemu is a user space system emulator. It can emulate in software different architectures like ARM, x86, etc. It can also emulate drivers, networking, disks, etc. Is called via the command line.

The reason you'll see Qemu/KVM a lot is because Qemu is the emulator, the things actually running the VM. And it utilizes KVM (on linux, OSX has HVF, for example) to accelerate the VM when the host architecture matches the VM's.

Libvirt is an XML based API on top of Qemu (and others). It allows you to define networks, VMs (it calls them domains), and much more with a unified XML schema through libvirtd.

Virsh is a CLI tool to manage libvirtd. Virt-manager is a GUI to do the same.

Proxmox is Debian under the hood with Qemu/KVM running VMs. It provides a robust web UI and easy clustering capabilities. Along with nice to haves like easy management of disks, ceph, etc. You can also manage Ceph through an API with Terraform.

Xen is an alternative hypervisor (like esxi). Instead of running on top of Linux, Xen has it's own microkernel. This means less flexibility (there's no Linux body running things), but also simpler to manage and less attack surface. I haven't played much with xen though, KVM is kind of the defacto, but IIRC AWS used to use a modified Xen before KVM came along and ate Xen's lunch.
Weight lifting done properly IS stretching. Full range of motion is a big deal for hypertrophy.

Static stretching is essentially worthless, and can actually be detrimental to performance: https://journals.lww.com/acsm-csmr/Fulltext/2014/05000/The_E....

The thing to do for weight lifting is do some light warm up cardio (5-10 minutes on your favorite hamster wheel variant - elliptical, treadmill, bike) to get your core temp up, then do a few warm up sets before big compound movements to improve blood flow to the target muscles and lubricate the joints.

Before doing your working sets on bench/squat/deadlift, do a few sets at a much lower weight. Like this:

Warm-up set 1: Start with the empty bar and warm up for a few reps there.

Warm-Up Set 2: 40-50% of your first set x 5 reps (if the empty bar falls into this percentage- skip this step).

Warm-Up Set 3: 60-65% of your first set x 3-5 reps

Warm-Up Set 4: 70-80% of your first set x 3 reps

Warm-up set 5: 85-90% of your first set x 1-3 reps

Warm-Up Set 6: 90-95% of your first set x 1-3 reps

Now do your working sets.

If you aren't lifting that much weight (bench press for example) you can skip a few of these and start at say 60-65% of your working weight.
Unfortunately, both shelf and snipe are limited asset management systems that do not cover the broader asset management situations and issues.

Having worked in asset management at one time, the field has some quite difficult aspects that are often missed by these relatively simple systems.

I am not disparaging what either of these systems do. There is a lot of time and effort that has been put into them. However, full blown asset management is a much bigger area than most people understand or have built systems for.

One asset class that can act as a test case for any asset management system that you might like to try your hand at building is a multi-story multi-use building. Once you get into the weeds on this one, you begin to see just how complex asset management is.

One feature of asset management is the oft forgotten maintenance sequences and forecasting of maintenance and refurbishment.

Free software works in part because it forces us, consumers, developers, businesses, into a better optimum than an a proprietary ecosystem. And that makes it work because it aligns incentives of self interested companies with keeping it open as we're seeing here.
I think at this point, the world is probably too complicated in many ways (even comparing to 50 years ago) that the best way to “learn about the world” is probably to pick your corner of specialty and start from there.

In other words, I don’t think that “broaden your horizons” is the issue. But rather that liberal arts education is not the way to do that.
Ps: typically if you want to run VMs you are faced with two paths only: 1) you want one or more VMs on your personal computer or 2) you want one or more VMs in an office environment.

On the first path you are likely going to be just fine with VirtualBox, VMWare Workstation or Hyper-V (Windows only) / Parallels (Mac intended). Which one you should pick depends on your desired use of the machines.

On the second path you would go with a solution that deals with the nitty-gritty details, such as Proxmox, oVirt, Hyper-V, ESXi, or any of the other many available options - granted you are not going full cloud-based, which opens up a whole lot of different options too.

You would generally never need to worry about which components are needed where and why. I've had to worry about it once or twice before, because I've had to debug why an oVirt solution was not behaving like I wanted it to behave. Knowing the inner workings helps in that case.

We have mechanistic knowledge of PFAS’ impact on human health though! It’s not like we’re looking at (noisy) sperm count or fertility data and then looking at what’s in our environment and randomly picking out PFAS and other EDCs. They’re being named because we know that they disrupt reproductive systems and we know that they’re everywhere.

Looking at those two pieces of information alone, it’s naive to say “well we haven’t conclusively drawn a causal population-scale link between cause and effect.” It is incredibly difficult to eliminate all confounders at that scale and time horizon, which would be really dooming to the hypothesis if we didn’t already have separate knowledge of the mechanics.

The Bayesian priors are: PFAS are poisonous to humans (known). PFAS are everywhere in our environment (known). We are seeing population-scale effects similar to what you’d expect to see from population-scale PFAS poisoning (noisy).

The difficulty of finding sound causal links at generational, population scales cannot prevent us from taking action on things — again — we already know are poisonous to people and to which people are frequently exposed.
When the EU replaced Italy's search & rescue-focussed Op Mare Nostrum in 2014 with it's border security-focussed Op Triton, deaths in the Mediterranean increased markedly, in some cases by as much as 1,600% between years.[0] This also led to a thriving coastal slave trade in Libya, to which Frontex happily return people if they are detected close enough that the Libyan Coast Guard can reach them first.

Whether this particular incident was intentional or accidental, and whether those responsible will be punished or not, the whole regime has been consciously constructed to produce exactly this kind of result.

To quote the book Necropolitics, by Achille Mbembe:

> In an increasingly Balkanized and isolated world, where are the most deadly migrant routes? It is Europe! Who claims the largest number of skeletons and the largest marine cemetery in this century? Again, it is Europe! The greatest number of deserts, territorial and international waters, channels, islands, straits, enclaves, canals, rivers, ports, and airports transformed into iron curtain technologies? Europe! And to top it all off, in these times of permanent escalation—the camps. The return of camps. A Europe of camps. Samos, Chios, Lesbos, Idomeni, Lampedusa, Vintimille, Sicily, Subotica—the list goes on.

"Your chances of getting a mate you will like are even affected by your sex. If you are a girl your chances are not as good as if you were a man. This is largely due to the fact that a girl cannot gracefully take the initiative in stalking a mate who looks attractive to her."

Ladies, stalking a man does work, sometimes.
Biology is a huge field. Some parts of it are rigorous hard science, like a good chunk of cellular biology. Other parts of it are pure speculation, like the origin of life. And some are obscure and confused, like what exactly is life anyhow? As an example for that last one biologists appear to have settled for begging the question and saying well a thing is alive if it has life processes.

I don't know that anyone else does, but I like to draw a distinction between experimental scientific inquiry and rigorously observed phenomenology. Properly speaking I say a great deal of what's called science is really a species of phenomenology. For example cosmology is pure phenomenology. We can't actually run experiments on what happens when you smash two black holes together. However we can rigorously observe the phenomenon and abduce a descriptive model that can potentially even make predictions. But the word "science" has become a totem, so there's a lot of cargo culting[1] and punishing blasphemers.

However, I don't really think that whether a field is science, phenomenology, or some blend of both has much effect on the rate of fraud. Rather, I hypothesize the dominant factor in the incidence of fraud is the perceived magnitude of the potential benefit to be obtained. The Alzheimer's fraud is a good example of that. There are hundreds of billions and maybe even trillions of dollars in play in that space. Drug companies have already poured billions down the drain chasing dead ends so anyone who can sell them hope can potentially get a substantial payday. An amusing corollary of this is that given the relatively small stakes social science fraudsters are playing for, we can conclude that they are small-minded in the sense that they aren't thinking nearly as big as the drug company fraudsters.

God bless the good reporters who put a one paragraph article into one paragraph, unlike some reporters who insist on stretching it out into an entire essay that says nothing.

And they use bullet points! Bullet points!

Variety can make the difference in motivation. If that's what you lack, then so be it.

But it's detrimental to a progressive/scienctific-like approach to lifting.

We want to know that over time we're getting progressive overload. That means you need consistency to watch that 1) The weight goes up for the same reps, or 2) the reps go up for the same weight (or 3, both). Unfortunately exercises are not direct replacements for each other meaning you cannot simply do the same for a variety of (eg:) bicep curls.

Once someone gets past what linear progression can achieve (see Strong lifts 5x5 app for example) then we start to do periodization or other plateau breaking patterns.

I do this and advocate for this in the teams I work in. In my experience, it works well.

Service classes are "configurable functions", as I tell my team. With the advantage that you don't have to monkey-patch an import in another module to do a unitary test of the function, but rather you can inject mocks!

One thing I do insist on is that a service class either does something (calculate some value, retrieve some information, etc.) xor it coordinates service classes (parse value, then call the validator and, finally, persist value). This aims to prevent deep call chains where every function in between does a little bit and calls someone else, which can be hard to reason about.
(Not a quantum physicist. Please correct me if I am misunderstanding.)

From what this article says, his assumption is that gravity is classical, but "fuzzy" or probabilistic: you can't precisely measure the gravitational field of a sufficiently small object.

In the last years we've seen progressively bigger objects being put in quantum superposition. The theory from this article is incompatible with this process continuing indefinitely. When and if we create a sufficiently big object that we are able to entangle it with something else via gravitational interaction, this would immediately disprove this theory.

So the good news is that this theory is clearly falsifiable, possibly even without creating a particle accelerator the size of the solar system.

Though imo the killer feature of FF address bar is simply that it's tied to a proper search history. Unlike chrome (which I sadly have to use at work), that only keep 90 days of history (!), making the address bar useless for anything but tabs, recent searches and as a link to a search engine. I really can't see an excuse for that behavior, the sqlite used by chrome is a few mb at worst.
