Quality of life is pretty high in the US for salaried workers (health insurance is good at these jobs usually). Work/life balance depends on the company. If you work in a low CoL city, life is very nice (compared to larger, more expensive cities like SF and NYC)
If an issue can be automatically detected and remediated, do you really need a runbook? That space has to be huge. I don't see a purpose for documenting it.

That said, a tool that runs through existing runbooks and improves them or suggests new ones would be extremely useful IMHO.
The concept of spirit of the law vs letter of the law infuriates me to no end.

I think the letter of the law should stipulate the spirit of the law (almost a TL;DR right at the beginning) so that jurists can later take that into account when deciding if the law was broken.
Cool to see this posted. I've always liked, and now miss PDAs.

The picture marked as NX70V is actually an NR70, which you can tell from the rounded camera, and rounded power button. The NX-70V was square.
The NR70 also lacked the compact flash card slot.

I have an NX-70v, and specifically got it for the CF card slot. The slot was only intended to be used with a wifi card that Sony released, but with an OS patch, you could use regular CF cards, which were much cheaper than Memory sticks. So I bought a third party memory stick Wifi card, and used the CF for storage.

Even 'salaried' in the UK means a contract that has a specified number of hours in it. In theory if you work more than that you should be getting either overtime or time in lieu, but in practice that might not always happen depending on your role in the company and the type of company.

I don't get overtime, but I do get time in lieu - I did about four hours extra the week before last doing set up for one of our busiest days of the year, and I'm taking Thursday afternoon off to make it up.

Things like 60 hour work weeks also aren't even legal without signing away your EU Working Time Directive (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_Time_Directive_2003) rights (which isn't even an option in every EU country). I don't _think_ the post-brexit legislation did away with that, but it wouldn't surprise me.
When we wrote C, we often used to use goto statements for error handling. This was a clean pattern because it allowed you to write all the code to handle the cleanup only once. For any error, you would jump to the cleanup code, and at the end of the function, the cleanup code would be executed regardless.

Exceptions in modern languages are essentially that with a more hierarchal structure, because they will auto propagate up the chain, into the exception clause that can go to cleanup code (or in the finally clause)

This is where exception handling is best used for, which requires a minimal number of try statements in critical pieces of the program (if you are handling exceptions from functions and continuing as normal, you are better off using returned error codes)
> Also suspicious is that protocol is missing. For example, how do you use bug spray

Realistically, the people who do not read the instructions literally on the side of the bottle they are applying to themselves are certainly not going to go back and pull up a news article they saw a day, week or month ago and try to get the instructions from there. Never mind how error prone that would be as each "repellent" chemical has different instructions and warnings (permethrin goes on clothes, while DEET goes on your skin for instance).
The imagined exchange is something like this

"To get you up to speed on foo I'll explain some important ways it differs from bar. First, of all—"

"Wait, I'm not familiar with bar, can you use a different frame of reference or briefly explain bar to me first?"

"Oh, I'm so glad I didn't waste your time and mine trying to give you information you don't have context to make sense of."
Tool/toolkit/language should be the final consideration, right before you start coding. The first question is who your target audience is and what functionality best serves them.
Digital Ocean is even on the expensive side these days. There are a lot of vps providers that offer decent pricing and include bundled bandwidth. Some of the hosts may not be good for business-use, but should be fine for personal stuff.
Location would be my bet. Not sure if IKEA has the same source for their products (might have change sources because of taxes, logistic costs, local incentives etc...); and as a commenter specified in this thread, different regions have different conditions (climate, cleaning culture, etc) that might also impact the durability of the products.

One more upvote for Dokku. Been using it for as long as I can remember hosting things on servers. It is such an incredible piece of software. And open source to boot. If any of my projects ever make money, Dokku will be the first project I'm funding.
Most parents are dumb. Some parents are a dangerous level of the dumb. The level of dumb where they're unable to admit their flaws and will never say outloud "I'm dumb". That's a big problem, because it means you can't convince them of anything. And then when little timmy is functionally illiterate they'll somehow convince themselves that's fine.

> teach parents

These types of solutions don't work. "Teach people not to smoke" "Teach people to workout" "Teach people to be better people". We need real, actual solutions. As in processes we can take that prove better outcomes. Some hand-wavy "well just do better" isn't a solution. If anything, it's an anti-solution, as in it prevents real solutions getting through.

If you want to reduce crime for example, you reduce poverty via social programs and industry. That is proven, without a doubt, to work. "people need to be better" doesn't work.
Yeah, I'm on a Ziply 1 gbps plan and I probably have less than 2 hours of downtime per year. Usually, when I DO have downtime, it's just a hiccup that I resolve by rebooting the router, and when it finishes, I find myself with a new WAN IP. It's like my DHCP lease expires but my router doesn't know.

I don't even know what I would do with 2 gigabit, let alone 7 or 20. Even with gigabit, the only time I really take advantage of it is downloading a new game. Streaming video requires only what, 20-30 megabit?

We also don't know when we need more.

When corona hit, a lot of people realized that there normal internet speed was not enough.

Fiber availability means also a general better availability for people, companies or other organizations to have it when needed (a more rural school for example).

I can also see a future with robots: Imagine you are old and need help. But you only need help a few hours a day for food, cleaning etc. Buy a robot, have someone remote help you through using the robot (video streaming, spacial data streaming, voice, audio etc.)

I help folks in r/sterilization who have obtained permanent birth control navigate and appeal their insurance. ACA compliant plans require this be covered at 100% as preventive care, so it’s building a workflow to check the boxes in the Rube Goldberg system to get to the outcome (full coverage per statue) insurance is constantly trying to avoid.

This project is helpful and is going into the case management workflow right away. Fight slop with well crafted, guardrailed slop.

So, two things:

1. Pushing Buy on <https://gitsell.dev/u/bitofbreeze/r/bitofbreeze/git-sell> just spins and there is no information on the screen, nor any kabooms on the devtools

2. It also seems from your free "test" link that it's not selling content it's selling access to the repo, which requires buyers to already have a GitHub account and thus is absolutely incomparable to "drive by" purchases. I could imagine that being a better story for long-term relations, like priority support and edition updates, but again, it's just simply not the same audience

Anyway, the reason I was trying the Buy button is because LeanPub has a slider for "pay what you want" within the bounds set by the author. Some authors have the lower bound set to $0 so it is quite literally pay what you want. I doubt your system would allow that same flexibility

Religions also attempt to explain the universe. The problem begins when new theories, new observations and new stories can no longer be added. It must after all support some form of acceptance initially.

> Realpage goes beyond this by pressuring landlords to accept their recommended price, and that's probably what got them in hot water, but they could probably have gotten away with it if they didn't do that.

Yes, but it seems like that would miss the point of Realpage entirely. Which is that if all landlords pay for it and are pressured to follow its recommendations they all make a lot more money.

Using algorithms to set your prices is fine. Using a shared algorithm to align your process is not. That's quite easy to outlaw. The "pressuring" part here is extremely clear.
Years of XMonad use here. Really, it's not the interference you are imagining.

Much of the time I have a web browser using a whole portrait-aligned monitor, but sometimes I feel like having it 2-up in a landscape monitor.

The win of nice clean window separation, without giving up significant percentage of my display space to window decoration, is -profound-.

I have one pixel borders around my shells, and I have it because I fiddled with zero and decided I liked one better. How many pixels do you lose to decoration, so you can mouse over them cleanly? That's a major win.

Keep in mind, they are suggestions. It sounds like the product will automatically execute runbooks but hold suggestions for engineer input. This would move it from “suggestion” to “automatically do X”

> Can we not do this? Everyone knows that “serverless” doesn’t actually mean there are no servers.

Then maybe people shouldn't use a term that means "there are no servers". One doesn't get to complain if they use a word to mean something the opposite of its actual meaning, and then people don't like it.
Why not self host grafana and Loki? It’s not hard and the cost for redundancy and backups running on tons of nodes with fast internet isn’t anything new. Much cheaper
You have a pretty big mouth, calling the majority of the United Kingdom voters idiots. But I am sure you know better than them what is good for them.
And if the driver of higher housing prices was college administrators, you'd have a point. Would you care to demonstrate that college administrators are in fact the cause? Because without presenting such data, you're not going to convince many of us, who currently believe that college administrators are, at best, a very minor contributor to high overall housing prices.

Taking into account all of human history of attempting to be smarter than we are and looking at all of the unforeseen results from humans meddling with things, I'm kind of okay dragging our feet.

One species trying to wipe out another species should be something that should be asked "is that what really needs to be done" before just doing it. Look at the buffalo for example. A group of humans were willing to wipe out an animal species to control a different group of humans. I don't care if it is "just" a mosquito. I do not think we full understand the repercussions of wiping out an entire species.
> because these people often buy distressed homes that banks won't give a loan on - and they renovate them, bring them up to code

There could easily be exemptions to a vacancy tax to allow for, or even encourage, renovating a home.
Law again takes care of that, because the right to rest also exist. So if you are asked to work 1h during the weekend, you usually gain 2.5 to 3 hours of rest in exchange.
I always understood "serverless" as, your main application isn't running all the time, but once you make a request to it, another process starts your main application and then your request gets forwarded to the "main" application.

But I never really got it, so I may be completely wrong.
I don't know if I would want to live in a digital world without knowing what I'm signing up for. But I know that, today, some games are really captivating, and make me glad of them existing (although I don't want and don't think you should engage irresponsibly or unsustainably with hobbies or entertainment), and were important for me since my childhood.

So the argument against games because social media is bad seemed to me invalid or very weak. It's true there are predatory practices in the digital world and including games very significantly. So there are predatory practices anywhere you look, including in beautiful beaches and paradisaical places -- and we have to remain watchful against them. I think that would be throwing the baby with the bathwater to discredit this entirely. The digital world does afford adventures and I think that's a distinct advantage of it (and adventures that don't require us killing ourselves, stealing from each other or from other people, suffering terribly on occasion, etc.). I think this is a point only younger generations which got to know the extent to which digital worlds can be compelling first hand get. Again, there are compelling things to do IRL also[1], and spending too much time doing anything unsustainable is again a bad idea. But as we have more material resources available, that seems in the direction of a good future of adventure we dreamed, but adventures consistent with peace and sustainability, and adventures intrinsically well designed with the principles of meaning, fun, joy, etc..

I honestly understand there may be an allure to the assumption that you have to "bear torture and suffer IRL" for life to have meaning (that kind of evokes being an Idea Of The Devil :P regardless of being religious or not). Which for me just obviously isn't true; my most cherished moments were peaceful, moments of awe, wonder, occasionally exciting and engaging, never intense suffering struck me as particularly meaningful for my life (if occasionally unfortunately necessary).

I think we can have adventures that isn't just la-la land, because challenges are intrinsically interesting, but also where we design things carefully so that adventures, both IRL (which include things we might have to/should do, like work, community management, political activity) and importantly the ones we design, don't have just meaningless suffering but are really meaningful, engaging (a challenge compatible[2] with our capabilities), beautiful, etc..

[1] I particularly defend getting to know nature, and having safe adventures in nature. I don't even think you have to go very far, to appreciate local flora and animals. But there are limitations (including damaging where you visit, if everyone decided to visit a certain region) and logistical difficulties. I don't think any exclusionary attitude is warranted -- let's see how each thing we can do is and how it aligns with our principles and fundamental principles of a good life.

[2] I think the term compatibility is very applicable, designing activities that are compatible with our cognitive characteristics and features of our cognition.
Forcing people to sell private property against their will is generally a pretty bad economic policy.
There's also the Cloud act, which makes it illegal for US cloud providers to refuse data access requests from the US government.

As far as I understand, the EU is fine with you sending data to other countries, as long as those countries have the same standards for data protection. In the EU's opinion, the Cloud act, as well as the whole NSA situation, mean that the US doesn't fulfill this definition.

If your windows within a workspace are wider than your screen, you can scroll through them.
You also have different workspaces like normal.
I'll normally have 1 workspace with a bunch of terminals, and another for browsers and other apps (often another terminal I want to use at the same time as browsing, e.g. if I'm looking things up online).
IMHO, Airbus is a good counterexample of how EU could do things better.

It's not perfect, but it's competitive and successful. Lots of countries contributed to its success, leaving (most) political issues aside.

It seems we're in violent agreement: The sources you provided don't actually dispute the ones I did: indeed, they confirm that the real estate was sold out from under the restaurants. To further cement this point, your last link flat out says what we're all already saying: Private Equity can't/didn't save Red Lobster.

This action further distressed individual restaurants, rather than helping them out.

Instead, the sources you provided instead simply say that it was advantageous for Private Equity and the Private Equity deal, which is the point here: it was good for PE, bad for the individual restaurants.

Which makes sense, it's not a complicated concept: how does jacking up rent on an individual restaurants help it? It doesn't, as the sources I provided pointed out. If you were paying X today, and now you have to pay >X, that doesn't help you.
The keyboard with the strongest psychological boost I've ever experienced is the M0116 Apple Standard Keyboard https://deskthority.net/wiki/Apple_Standard_Keyboard https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hY7XXo5uEZI with its old ALPS (Orange, or sometimes Salmon) switches. Every time you press a few keys the little voice in your head tells you (accurately or not!) "Yes, I have accomplished something meaningful. Significant work is being done here." It's really quite self-defeating that Apple can't find the pocket change necessary to bring back Apple keyboards with early ALPS switches, especially now that it's relatively serious about desktop computing again. Things could be a lot worse though: seven years after introducing the M0116 Apple put out the M2980 Apple "Design" "Keyboard" https://deskthority.net/wiki/AppleDesign_Keyboard which could leave you pining for death.

There's this cycle of posts that are _When other people do things for you, it's expensive_

Look at these outrageous AWS prices. Look at these outrageous Datadog prices. Look at these outrageous Snowflake prices...

It's a little tiring. You make trade-offs all the time. If the price isn't worth it, don't pay for it.
Lots of profitable activities are banned and the bans are generally quite effective. For instance, selling cigarettes and liquor to children.

Now you might say those bans aren't 100% effective, but why do they need to be 100% to be justifiable?

Part of what they did here that worked so well was put a lot of money on the table, but tie it + deployment privilege in big cities / money sources to guaranteed deployment in smaller areas.

France is much more empty than people in other country usually believe, we're no germany with our population spread out all over, we have a large areas with a lower population density than the midwest called the "empty diagonal" [1], and yet as of today we have 83% of fiber coverage There is no way those area would be covered without such a system

For the mobile coverage they made it even simpler, in that the ISP right to their frequencies is tied to a timeline of coverage % of the territory, so we have 75% covered in 5G and 90% in 4G.

And yes, while video cards certainly did work, often they were restricted to non-accelerated modes. Hence, "hardware support was garbage".
