Hecto- is the Greek root for 100, centi- is the Latin root for 100.

The metric prefixes up to 1000 use Greek roots for the large prefixes (10^+n) and Latin for the small (10^-n), but there are also words that are derived directly from the respective Latin roots and therefore don't necessarily carry the metric system's fractional meaning.

Someone already linked to the definition of centimillionaire, but here are a few more:

* centipede (100 legs, not 1/100 of a leg)

* centenarian (100 years old, not 1/100 of a year old)

* millennium (1000 years, not 1/1000 of a year)
I'm amazed to see multiple posters in this thread still getting Bono-rolled by Apple products a decade later. I moved it to my “hidden purchases“ almost as many years ago and it has never resurfaced; has Apple changed something since then?
At $WORK, we use VMware - and the "hypervisor" part of it is honestly not even close the selling point for anyone doing serious enterprise workloads - and VMware knows this.

Smaller firms with a few VMs here and here could probably lift and shift into another platform super easily.

-

For the bigger firms with large on-prem investments is where the vendor lock-in is the most difficult. Take two parts of VMWare:

- NSX-T ([1]): The SDN and networking overlay component of VMware. It provides overlay networking and micro-segmentation (like your AWS VPCs, etc.), as well as service insertion for firewalls, etc. Pretty much nothing competes in this market for on-prem that's actually integrated with the hypervisor.

- vRA ([2]): Does all your infrastructure automation, monitoring, and optimization. Again, it's actually integrated with the hypervisor.

Not at all part of the hypervisor, but components that are part of virtualization infrastructure you just can't go without.

-

Now, I'm sure you could argue that there's other systems you could fit in here, or tooling that exists that solves these problems - won't argue with that. But the big part is integration - there's basically nothing that you can buy off the shelf that does all of this under one roof that doesn't become some cobbled mess of poorly-integrated tools.

Is VMware perfect? By no means. But at the end of the day, most companies want 1) something that works, and 2) someone to call if it breaks. Broadcom knows this - hence why they placed a bet that companies too deep into it couldn't shift off quickly enough - and I fear they've betted correctly.

The closest would maybe be OpenStack? Who knows where things will end up in the next few years!

>Building and restarting the program took a minimum 15 seconds no matter how trivial the change. It became an absolute nightmare to work with and I eventually stopped contributing because it was so frustrating to work with.

Wait. You’re complaining about a 15 second compilation and startup loop?

Don’t take this the wrong way, but I don’t think compiled languages are for you.
Why? You can disable apps from right there on the phone, what does this add over doing that? The FAQ makes some mention of further "uninstalling" them from the user profiles (and deleting cache/data, which you can also do in the settings), but it's not clear to me what that means.
Usually the directive "don't worry about bloat" comes from above, or outside, the software engineering team. I'm a software engineer and I would love to fix performance problems so that everything runs Amiga smooth. But that takes time and effort to find, analyze, and fix performance issues... and once The Business sees something in more or less working order, implementing the next feature takes priority over removing bloat. "Premature optimization is the root of all evil" and that. I know that's not what Knuth meant, he meant don't be penny-wise and pound-foolish when you do optimize. But much like "GO TO considered harmful", something approaching the stupidest possible interpretation of the maxim has become the canonical interpretation.

And that's before getting into when The Business wants that sweet, sweet analytics data, or those sweet, sweet ad dollars.

I use Invidious for browsing the site, and watch the actual videos via a script that deobfuscates and gets the actual stream URL and then passes that to VLC.

As another data point, YouTube a decade ago would've been perfectly fine on that hardware too. The culprit is web bloat in general, and more specifically the monstrosities of abstraction that have become common in JS.

Even for those who don't believe at all in "climate crisis", there is something to be said for the loss of craftsmanship and quality over time that's caused this mess, so I think it's something everyone across the whole political spectrum can agree with.
Or if you are young and skilled, just apply for migration to the country of your choice. Australia, Canada and New Zealand are preferred destinations for English speakers. Its sometimes messy trying to get all the documentation together and you generally have to be squeaky clean, but no agents need to be involved. I have done it once and my wife has done it twice. Though the last time we did it to get to NZ was almost twenty years ago.

Also if you are young (under 30) you should check what countries you have rights to get a working visa in so you can "try before you buy" so to speak. and once you are in with a job the migration process is generally a lot easier.

If you are old 50+ then forget it unless you are rolling in cash and have a PhD :-)

It's also possible that law school and/or the bar exam have changed in the last 40 years. I went to law school in the early aughts and found it to be quite helpful for teaching me how to be an effective lawyer. It's also certainly not true that the only skill the bar exam measures is knowing how to divine legal principles from reading a written judicial opinion. There is a huge memorization component, which ensures that lawyers know a fair amount of substantive law (at least at one point in time), and that they are capable of memorization (which can be a useful skill for people who work with complex fact patterns).

It was also well known that the bar examiners gave lots of credit based on your application of the law. Even if you misremembered a legal test, you could get lots of points just for logically applying the law as you stated it to the fact pattern.

I'd drop the weirdly named operators like cdr-safe, or change the naming at least.

I get that if you're manually writing code to match a list structure, you do it in a "cdr safe" way. E.g. if we are matching a two element object, we can't assume that it has an accessible cadr.

It's the job of pattern matching to do the shape checks so as not to misuse the object being matched; no aspect of that needs to be visible, including naming like "cdr safe".

Apps to order food efficiently are fine. Everyone wins. It's easier for the restaurant, it's easier for you.

Having food delivered to your door, however, is incredibly expensive. A lot of the cost has been masked: for a while paid-in-part by VC-style below-cost funding hoping to for winner-take-all success, and by giving drivers no benefits & terrible pay.
Builders really seriously need to make condos/apartments with sufficiently sound proofed walls, floors and ceilings. I would happily live in a condo if I was confident that I wouldn’t be able to hear my neighbors and have my sleep disrupted etc.
I feel like this wouldn't be necessary if we didn't throw the baby out with the bath water with XHTML, which had that nifty property of XML documents known as namespaces. HTMx strikes me as what should've happened if we had a namespace for behavioral tags, tags with behavioral attributes that accept light scripting, etc. And because they're namespaces, they're opt-in by default. Browser engines could've even gone further and provided different render primitives than the DOM via namespace'ing so we don't wind up with HTML5 that does a bit more but not enough to keep up with advancing needs in the frontend. I dunno, I'm kinda yapping on that last one, but at bottom something felt lost that HTMx is recovering.
IMO query plan hinting should be done out of band, using table source names to refer to the parts of the query. In psql this might take the form of a \command that lets one specify the hints for the preceding query.

This article claims that Hyperscript is "Something you could just type out from memory, without referencing anything".

I don't understand this assertion at all. There is a grammar that must be learned, and it is different from existing solutions, which means most humans will need to reference something until they become familiar enough to work without documentation. I don't see how this is different than React, vanilla JS, or others. The benefits of this do not shine through for me.

The articles that 404Media did on the extremely obvious ads on Meta's platforms were pretty telling on Meta's lack of giving a shit. I'm one of those rare people that don't use any of Meta's products, so I was actually surprised at just how blatant the ads were. I'm actually shocked that someone is doing anything that remotely leans towards giving a shit.

The spec is so complex at this point, that I'm not sure you can go the other way. It would also force you to implement weird things nobody will ever use before letting people work with a basic page.

I'd love someone to prove me wrong, but I feel like you'd end up with "you can't display a paragraph of basic text, because we're not even done implementing JS interface to conic gradients in HSL space in a fully compliant way".
Tests are valuable, but of course they’re never perfect. Certain kinds of programs require them more than others. And no development approach, method, or tool is the best in all cases.

The program with the most tests that I’m aware of is SQLite. I have a feeling Hipp and his team know their code extremely well and that they do a lot of thinking before they change anything. Then they run their massive test suite, which they built because they’re good enough to know that they’re not good enough to think everything through without making errors.

Tests have saved me from a few blunders over the years.
If you set your language to 'English (World)' during the install, none of the crapware is installed.

Even with the Dockerfile format you can union those filesystems (COPY --link).

> Why would a company choose to use COBOL if they weren't restricted to what ran on IBM's mainframe infrastructure?

COBOL has nothing to do with just IBM mainframes even though that is what it mostly runs on. The second big platform that runs COBOL programmes (heh, not apps!) on is OpenVMS (whatever hardware it runs on today) although the number of OpenVMS installations has seriously dwindled in the recent decade.

The reason why companies no longer choose COBOL is the mostly dead ecosystem and the lack of the fresh meat on the job market as a consequence of that.

If we imagine a parallel reality where COBOL is still thriving, many companies would almost absolutely choose COBOL for new projects because of its safe memory model at the very least – there is no memory corruption, no buffer overflows, no null pointer exceptions. If there are bugs in a COBOL programme, the bugs are related either to the logic or to the data handling.

With most programming languages of today, you have all of that too, plus compounding memory related issues even in considered «safe», garbage collected programming languages. The business generally does not care about the art of fine programming unless it will provide a substantial ROI (e.g. vastly reduced running and operational costs or it will yield a higher revenue), so the business would absolutely choose (or consider) COBOL in such a parallel reality.
I prototyped a UI with hyperscript web components and it was a lot of fun. If anything it helped me make design decisions because I was slowing down, thinking out of the box, and genuinely entertained by reading the end code.

Once you get the hang of it, its pretty fun and a little surreal to write effective front end logic in what appears to be a natural language.

Highly recommend it for a prototype and think it was genuinely motivating because it made frontend logic more novel and fun.
Sir, in most companies if you suggest something technical without having equivalent political power, at best, no one will listen to you. At worst you will create political enemies.

as a lawyer who's practiced what you might consider 'everyman's law'—from petty and felony crime to real estate transactions, estate planning, drafting, and settlement, and even simple dispute resolution, i don't buy your premise or your conclusion.

someone with the wherewithal to get out there practicing competently enough to continue retaining clients at a profit is just as skilled as any other lawyer from any other pedigree up yonder. apples to oranges.

any 'quality' or 'skill' gap between legal representation is a relative thing. there's shitty doctors, lawyers, accountants, and everything else everywhere.

and the type of law O.J. Simpson was ostensibly referring to is like the .009% of law practice.

1. The U.S. isn’t at the top for visa free places to travel…a number of passports in Europe and Asia are better.

https://www.henleyglobal.com/passport-index/ranking

2. Yes - an example I travel to frequently is Vietnam - it is visa free for Italy but not for USA (former American Italian here)

3. Generally no - USA is the only major country that taxes based on citizen and not by residence or territorially

4. Embassies very rarely help anyone “when something bad happens” - in the event of a large natural or political disaster they might help. Most (including the USA) have a policy of not being able to help you in most situations beyond giving you the contact of a lawyer, doctor etc.

5. Most of the time no, but some places do prohibit citizens from having multiple citizenships or acquiring new ones: iirc Singapore is one of those.

It really depends. In some cases, it is actually an investment, either in a company or in real estate. But the real estate may come with requirements, like specific areas in which the property must be, or with restrictions on selling it. In other cases, you can "donate" to a government-managed fund. In that case it's not really an investment cause you'll never see that money again.

This was one of my own first two thoughts on TFA, the other being that given this as a proposal, one clear advantage of offshore windfarms is that transporting construction modules to the site should be vastly more straightforward: ship or barge towers and blades directly. This could work for farms both in ocean waters or large lakes.

But other than that, the idea that blades might be shipped by some other mode (overland, barge, special-purpose rail, possibly) to a proximate location, then drone-ferried to the actual construction site ... seems a more viable option.

And yes, drone lift-swarms comprised of multiple units yoked together and lifting a blade or set of blades ... seems more viable. Distances travelled should be relatively short (roughly, 10s to a few 100s of km), transport speeds need not be high, and flight profiles could be quite low altitude.

Even if not drones, a ferry aircraft that could transition between vertical and horizontal flight modes, similar to the Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey, but, say, with an open cargo frame, might be a better fit. These could take off from a standard runway if desired, but also land and take off vertically from a cleared landing zone (potentially a barge or floating dock, in the case of offshore farms).

Airships might be another option, though the ballast problem (as cargo is offloaded, an equivalent weight of ballast would need to be onboarded to prevent the airship from floating away), and poor handling in even modestly windy conditions (likely around wind farms) would probably prove problematic.
