thank goodness for that.

what an insane dance it all is.
It's been awhile but I've always taken the logos off the front of the optical drives in my desktop builds. Takes like three wipes with some acetone and now you have a very clean look. Very few companies are willing to spend money on robust branding for whitebox goods so it's often very easy to remove logos from stuff like conference swag.

I bought a pencil case for work off Amazon and it had a bright red patch with the company name on it, just some sort of absolute nonsense combination of consonants and vowels. One minute with an xacto blade cut the stitches and I was left with an acceptable quality pencil case.

I guess that's a consequence of media, global communication and mobility.

Which raises the question, what's up with the UK? Modern country with internet access and a good transportation network, not to mention a century-old central media establishment with basically one accepted dialect, but they've still got almost-mutually-unintelligible dialects in places fifty miles apart.

This is my impression as well. As far as I've understood, terragrunt was made back when terraform was missing a lot of key features (I think it maybe didn't even have modules yet) but when I was asked to evaluate it recently for a client I couldn't find a single reason to justify adding another tool.
That's a rather useless technicality you are pointing out.

ChromeOS is technically Linux, but not what people are obviously referring to.
That's way less interesting than a historical scientific discovery.
A couple suggestions:

- Community Networks, part of ILSR, is a great resource. They also have a good podcast called Community Broadband Bits. (https://communitynets.org)

- If you or someone else you know is involved with the city in any way (an employee, elected official, city board member, etc), the Fiber Broadband Association has a Public Officials Committee Meeting every month where we discuss these things. Many of the members are from municipalities that have their own municipal broadband

Hmm. By tooling are you referring to things like jq and other "uncommon" cli/tui apps I use to work against a code base locally? I think that's what you mean.

One of the best practices when using docker-compose to develop is actually to mount your code base as a volume. This lets you modify the code locally without requiring a complete rebuild of the container each time code is modified.

You might have to no-hup a service or run it not as pid1 (init container or supervisord) so it can restart without killing the container but that depends on the work being done.

I'm trying to find a good example to show you but I'm not finding much. If you have a medium account this might be decent, I don't have one but it starts off going through the process https://medium.com/swlh/tutorial-how-to-use-docker-volumes-t...

With that said I use literally the exact same containers that are pushed to production.
> Those policies were written by people at the direction of people to be given to people to do because some people are interested in achieving that goal.

And those policies continue to be in effect long after any of their authors or beneficiaries have left or otherwise ceased to be authors or beneficiaries - as highlighted in the part of my comment immediately following that which you quoted.

People being involved at one point says nothing about their continued involvement or about the eventual autonomy of the thing with which they were once involved - just like how any person's decisionmaking is independent from that of one's constituent cells, and from one's parents and their constituent cells. The interests of the creation can and do diverge from the interests of the creators.

As one of the people who calls with information like that, I would love to go to all sms. However, there are still a lot of people who never check their text messages. I've started asking all the customers if it's ok to text instead of call, and probably a third of them say not to text. These do tend to be older people.

Some of these hurdles and requirements are unbelievably ridiculous and so obviously manufactured by the ISPs that I can't believe anyone seriously thinking it has anything to do with taxpayer protection or whatever they're making up... As a non-US citizen, I am so frequently perplexed at how you can, at the same time, have so many smart, hard-working and enterprising people in your country, and so deeply relinquish your freedom, choice and quality of life to either hyper-capitalism, or just idiotic politicians (usually both in connection)...
However, the jury is still out because many existing cultures are disappearing by choice.

Most Americans live in metro areas; the figure for the United States is 80% according to the census.

High speed rail is not going to do a lot of good in South Dakota, but we can serve most Americans with some type of decent rail without contorting ourselves. And the bar is on the floor since a lot of Amtrak is not even a single round trip seven days a week.
Their CDN bills are paid (or rather sponsored by) Fastly, and they have a mirror network hosted by universities and other third parties. No third party is going to donate resources to RHEL the way they might for Debian, though.

I'll add that those CDN bills are not at all insubstantial. But still peanuts compared to the actual development costs.
I disagree with this. Minority/majority consideration shouldn't be made. You can divide each state into containing squares and for border states, shapes with two right angle (L shaped) lines attached to the border line, each cell containing the same population with 5% margin.

It often outranks MDN official docs which these days are very readable, in-depth, with examples, and a simple UI and the only time I click to inappropriately named W3Schools is by accident because it's the top result and I'm expecting MDN and then I click back and that's why I don't like it.
My personal pet peeve is the branding car dealerships place on the cars they sell. I asked one sales person if I was going to get a monthly check from them for the advertising services I was providing for them. He thought I was joking. While I've never used a seam ripper to remove a logo from an article of clothing (kuddos to them), I have removed the license plate covers and decals from my car in front of the sales person that assumed I was joking before accepting the car.
Yep. I'm truly amazed that anyone continues to bank with them. They're straight-up crooks.
it should be clarified that red hat is not violating gpl license. they are free to repackage software, then sell it closed source, and only distribute the source to its paying customers. this use-case is explicitly endorsed by rms and generally follows the spirit of free software.

That’s true, but it was a pretty early attempt at creating municipal broadband. The “industry” has learned a lot from the negative outcomes about how to do it successfully.
HFCS is not banned in the EU. There's just no reason to use it. Sugar is cheap as is.
It doesn't work that way, in reality.

Not anyone can just bring a suit to compel compliance - and IBM has much deeper pockets anyway. So even if the suit was righteous, it would be dead and buried long before it saw a court room.

Additionally, the Kernel is only a tiny portion of the RHEL distribution. There's plenty of proprietary RH/IBM code in RHEL, and a ton of non-GPL'ed software too.

Lastly, a RHEL license contract might be updated to explicitly state you are forbidden from distributing RH sources... which would kill Rocky's "work-around" while still being GPL compatible.

GPL isn't some magic bullet like some people believe...

Even Chase is a better choice.
Agree, it's a complicated conversation because the tools support many different ways of working - and most of them can be made to work with different tradeoffs.

A team that e.g owns its own microservice IaC can absolutely maintain a setup long term with app & db in the same state, it just requires care and love (it's easier in some ways, it just doesn't scale along certain dimensions).

Maybe you have other controls / factors that can make it work for you.

But my experience is that as you split things across more teams or have more complicated IaC "supply chains" (eg teams supplying modules to each other or have lots of ppl working on different bits of the same thing) you need to look at ways to make things more foolproof, easier to support and give yourself as much "wiggle room" as possible for upgrades. At this point having state split out is very helpful (almost essential).

Because the terminology seems to be tripping up the conversation I'd be inclined to phrase it like this: a single "terraform apply" should be touching a precious, stateful stack or a disposable stateless stack and these should be clearly delineated. Ideally the stateful stacks should be as small as possible, as much stuff as possible should be in the stateless stacks.
Some AWS services have per-account (not per-resource) size and rate limits. Keeping resources in separate AWS accounts gets them out of each others’ blast radii.

AWS IAM doesn’t do capability inheritance; if I can write a policy at all I could grant any privilege to any resource in that policy, even privileges I don’t personally have. It’s easier for each groups of admins to have a separate AWS account than to put everyone in security boundaries that try to wall them off.

YES actually, Red Hat bought Cygnus a long time ago, and formerly-Cygnus (now RH) devs are huge GCC contributors.
That sounds unlikely. Have you been taken in by the name squatting of "centos stream" sounding like centos while being a totally different thing? That was basically the point of IBM choosing that name after extinguishing centos.

Example of "no more centos" evidence: https://www.redhat.com/en/topics/linux/centos-linux-eol

Centos was a de-branded redhat built by a community effort that behaved the same as RHEL, so you could use it to develop&test software for deployment on RHEL.

Centos stream is an unstable upstream that RHEL is partially derived from, run by IBM. It could have been "fedora", but that wouldn't have the same obfuscation properties. Presumably IBM don't really need two unstable upstream distributions and will drop one of them at some point.

There are a couple of new community redhat builds, none called centos.
I know nothing about this but I stay curious. Just like Navier-Stokes equations can be proved with numerical approximations, can this be verified even if we never solve it?
None of those benefits are coming with LaCrOS[0]. I don't know why people keep repeating that when Google has never stated there will be more updates.

This is how I feel. I chose to have children with the knowledge that there is a very real possibility that they may inherit a hell scape when I’m dead. The thought of them having the possibility of a better future combined with finally having something positive to hope for fills a void that I believe many people share.
We kind of had an example last year in Australia where a climate protester shut down Sydney bridge. It was absolute chaos city wide and I'm sure it will inspire copycats.

Because it doesn't do much. The extremely incorrect overdoses of it found in common products often lead to worse sleep and next day drowsiness, making it an unpleasant experience. Even used in correct, very low dosages the impact is low.

I am continually baffled by how keyboard enthusiasts almost never use optimized layouts. If you care this much about typing, surely the first thing you do is get an ergo layout and then use an optimized layout such as Colemak or any of the myriad modern layout options available today. I personally use graphite (github.com/rdavison/graphite-layout), or rather, a mod of it that has an AI generated symbol layer. The Qwerty layout is really bad, people! How can you spend this much time and energy and money on keyboards, and keep using the awful Qwerty layout?

EDIT: Jokes aside, truly I wonder, for the column stagger folks who use qwerty, how do you deal with the “in” bigram? It’s one of the most common bigrams in English, and a column stagger layout usually _increases_ that distance, ie, it’s actually less ergonomic.
Credit unions and small banks are better, if they can provide the service you need. If they can't, then any large bank that isn't called "Wells Fargo" is a better choice.

That's one of the core tenets of science of course: experimental reproducibility given reasonable instructions; the laws of physics are the same everywhere in the universe, well except for possibly blackholes
I bought a cheap Brother laser printer 20 years ago, and it works great today. Just plug in the USB cable, and it works on a modern machine with no extra drivers or software. (It's old enough that it still also has a parallel port on it.)

I recently replaced the toner and drum with third-party ones, and they work fine - no vendor lock-in.

True, but in this instance it’s my understanding that there were still some areas of guesswork where the paper wasn’t clear.
Chinese researchers [1] publish fewer total articles in Nature than American ones [2]. It's just one journal, with an admittedly western-leaning audience, but that's what the QZ article focuses on. It does include the caveat that it's possible that translation problems played a bigger role in the Chinese retractions than they did for other countries' retractions, although it would be surprising if that were the only cause of such a widespread problem.

Is this just a tweet or something? Or am I missing the associated article?
The vast majority of the interesting and older users left years ago, soon after the redesign and mobile app. The majority of these valuable contributions did not migrate to nor were not replaced by any new public online service.

This summer's loss wasn't as big a deal as the proportion of genuinely valuable contributors leaving is much smaller then the last exodus, and nearly all the affected subreddits are closer to the internet average, which being 2023 is filled with far more low value spam then the mid 2010s.
>So recently Red Hat/IBM made a business decision to limit their customers to those who would buy a license from them for every single system that would run RHEL and only distribute their source-code and the information necessary on how to build that distribution to those customers.

Is that what the contract says? Does it say that if a customer installs CentOS, or some RedHat downstream, that they are now in breach? I thought it was about distribution of source code. What is going on?

Also is RedHat fine if the other systems run a different linux like Debian? Where's the line?
They won, but it was a Pyrrhic victory.

this question comes up on a lot of the "printer rage" threads <https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=pastYear&page=0&prefix=fal...> and my recollection of the majority of the substantial discussions seem to imply that there are patents which are a major obstacle to any such effort, above and beyond the general "hardware development is its own specialization" problem

Now, what I don't know (and don't recall seeing) is whether that's true of every jurisdiction or if it's just a US-centric problem and the EU could have their revenge by having an open printer that US consumers couldn't buy :-/
Not sure I understand the excerpt from the referenced paper.

Is it saying that part of its more-efficient inferencing relies on mixing tokens from completely-separate inputs – eg, from other users? And then, depending on what other inputs chance into the same grouping, the relative assignment-to-'experts' varies, and thus the eventual completions?

If so, I'd see that as not just introducing non-determinism, but also potentially making the quality of your responses dependent on how-many-concurrent-requests are fighting for the same expert-allocations.

(For example, maybe the parts of the system best at translating/interpreting Hindi give worse results during peak usage hours-of-the-day in India, when the most concurrent inputs are competing for that same competence.)

Perhaps also, this is another possible explanation for perceived quality-degradation over time. When certain tests were reliably succeeding earlier, there was less congestion for the relevant 'experts'. Now, with more concurrent use, those same tests aren't as reliably winning as much of relevant 'experts' effort.

This may also suggest a bit of a quagmire: on whatever domains some sub-experts seem impressively good, initially, even more proportionate use will be attracted. But such new congestion means all the copycat use no longer gets the same expert allocations – and thus the initially-impressive performance degrades.

(And if the effect is strong, & known-but-undisclosed-by-OpenAI, does it amount to a bait-and-switch? Attract users with unrepresentative excellence on an initially-uncongested Mixture-of-Experts system, but then offer them the lower-quality results from a more-congested system.)
All-Consuming
Ok I may absolutely have the dumb today I appreciate the response. The way this is worded, because of this line - "Modules are the main way to package and reuse resource configurations with Terraform." reads like - "I have 10 golang apps, they all at a minimum use these same services, this is our "golang root module". But some services might have more or less modules, ie service A uses redis, service B uses kafka without redis.

So in this verbiage, is every single "stack/app" a "root module" and if one of them has a different database/whatever module it's just using different child modules and the child modules are the big differentiator?

Just to kind of prove the root-module argument I'm making here, this post in here is confused on calling a "stack" a module as well https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37005949
> Organize hackdays! We do these at work, and they're a source of a lot of the ideas for and prototypes of major features that get into our product. When a feature comes out of one of these, it's already vetted and prototyped.

As someone who wins most of the hackdays, I agree that the original hackday code needs to be rewritten. I have seen too many spaghetti Frankensteins to allow quickly written code into a codebase.
I have a similar printer and I think it was just for setup, I remember it saying you can use USB after the initial setup but you need to keep it connected to WiFi as well or something
That is fine. The problem is redhat is allegedly making business agreements with their customers requiring no redistribution of the code. This is a direct violation of the GPL by denying one of the freedoms it guarantees.
Where does starting anew come into it? I didn't say anything about starting anew.
Yes, and get the printer on the network where it can download new DRM behaviors to screw the users out of more ink. So far they retroactively added banning 3rd party ink, disabling ink once it gets too old, and of course not letting you print black if one of the other colors is out.
