interesting, why is this?
No direct replacements, but there are a lot of options. Some of the options are with a different company that would be glad to find out what parts of vSphere you need and for a price (which might or might not be reasonable) make just those for your. Some are open source and you can hire someone to add the features you need. Some are things like AWS where are completely different in many ways and yet have tools that by nature are very different forcing to change to their model, but may be better once you pay that price. And of course nothing says you can't pick multiple from the above - but no matter what it will be significant effort to move to any of them above the cost, which is what Broadcom is counting on.
I'm not convinced. There are various different estimates for how large the internet is with varying confidence, but most I found average around a few hundred zettabytes. The Internet Archive seems to be in the ballpark of a hundred petabytes. So unless I got it wrong, the archive currently covers about 0.01% of the whole thing. How much we need to cover the useful bits is a separate discussion of course.

I think the vast majority of roles / professions fall on a spectrum, and the vast majority do also benefit from at least a steady component of in-person interaction.

Yes, even tech roles. Doesn't have to be daily, or even weekly. But ideally it should happen at least once in a while (on a mutually-agreed upon basis of course).

In general I am pro-WFH/anti-RTO (on balance). That said, the absolutist stance you seem to be taking here ("always, always, control, control") seems patently out of touch with reality, and difficult to fathom.
> the problem that now reviewers have to figure out what changed

That's something that the review tool can solve, and I agree that github doesn't handle it well. But other code review tools can show diffs between revisions independently of how the commits have been rebased or squashed over time.
It's funny, every hedge fund and tech startup I've ever worked at since roughly 2001 very proudly boasts about how they pay women more than the men.

But as my career goes on into the years I find that I'm working with less women and less minorities and not more. Despite the best of efforts...

If I were to look for evidence though, I would point things squarely at the interview process... In the past if you could operate a computer you were hired and assumed you would figure it out. Nowadays it's much more about fitting a certain narrative that's largely down to socioeconomic factors... I don't think I've ever worked with someone in tech who went to an HBCU, but lots of people who were token at NYU, Yale, etc...
Anyone interested in Indian history and its interaction with the world should check out the Odd Compass channel on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@OddCompass) - it's really well done, entertaining and just makes you appreciate the world a little more - especially how interconnected we've all been, especially through trade.
No, it is simply an idea to live and let live. Sane people escape California or New York where one must be insanely wealthy to live a decent life. In most of the US, you can do your thing and no one will bother you. Most hellishly expensive places would become affordable and fun if they implemented Texas-style zoning.

Now, obnoxious white people in Silicon Valley would be upset that multifamily housing had allowed displeasing minorities in, but man would that make life better for everyone. I lived in East Asia, and it is really nice when cities are not too expensive for regular people to live in. Furthermore, I have no sympathy for rich @holes who complain about losing their expensive view.

Freedom helps all, but especially the poor. The leftists have tricked people in California and NYC into thinking the system fails the poor, when in reality it is their stupid regulations that made these places expensive.

Rewriting history and breaking N sloppy commits into M well-thought-out, logical commits is an essential git-based version control skill for developers. Thus, interactive rebase should be considered essential for anyone using git for anything non-trivial. It's TUI-like interface is a bit quirky for some people, but it is rock-solid once you figure it out and therefore worth investing a bit of time into learning. (That also describes git in its entirety quite well).
Wow, my jaw is on the floor. This is such a good idea! I already had the idea of tracking issues in the same repo as the code -- not that I actually use that idea -- but I didn't have the idea of doing PRs in the repo itself. Love it!
IPv6 instead of being branded as a new implementation should probably have been presented as an extension of IPv4, like some previously reserved IPv4 address would mean that it is really IPv6 with the value in the previously reserved fields, etc. That would be a kludge, harder to implement, yet much easier for the wide Internet to embrace. Like it is easier to feed oatmeal to a toddler by presenting it as some magic food :)

Oral communication is one of the oldest and most powerful inter-human channels (possibly only facial expressions are more primal and powerful) [0]

I read it as supporting the iphone X with the A11 chip, just not the gpio buttons.

"This series adds device trees for all A7-A11 SoC based iPhones, iPads, iPod touches and Apple TVs."

"The following is supported on A7-A10:
- gpio-keys
The buttons on A11 based devices like the iPhone X is a SMC subdevice, and cannot be supported in this way."
Maybe they were the ones filming it and dancing on the roof? Discussion around 9-11 is so moronic.
Oh... I hadn't though of that. I guess you're suggesting maybe tracking orders in stripe by creating new orders to mirror the ones made outside of stripe? I would have guessed that stripe's api wouldn't have room for that - but that might be short shortsightedness on my part. I may have to look into that next time I touch the admin app.

I hear the complaint but it's a bit of a trap to just seek protection.

Yes, the law on point is permissive. That goes with the evolution of law.

But assuming for the moment that we want not just avoid injury to ourselves but to create the world now and to come, what are we called to do?

- What exactly do you, or employees, want in this situation?

- What would Pave do if they wanted to take the high ground? Could that be a business differentiator?

- What law could you write and enforce, to protect what interest, without also damaging other interests that are socially beneficial?

I think the organizational evolution towards having loose laws with tightening enforcement, or tight laws with lax enforcement, give way too much latitude to policing/enforcement and create a corrupting political franchise of affected stakeholders taxed with managing regulators.

My hope would be that internet-scalable transactions have similarly scalable regulatory solutions: dead-simple to detect and assess, finely-tuned to the balance of interests, and so patent as to be indisputable. Then people can get stuff done without dealing with the shadows and forces of ambiguity.

Is something like that possible here? Could Pave be a champion of it?
My rule of thumb for code comments is to comment what's not in the code.
Yes, side quests, rabbit holes, tangents. These days I can stop and consider how many layers deep I just went, then pop the stack, or realize that the value of the original task was disproportional to the distractions' time and effort.

When you become better grounded in core values that matter, and you place values on your time and energy, then you can develop habits to stay on task.

This is encouraging. We need more of these EV retro-fit kits in developing countries, where buying EVs is prohibitively expensive. Obviously, we need a way of safety certifying the kits and the end product as well.

Uruguay is among the most developed countries [1] in South America (2024 nominal GDP per capita: ~$23K; Chile ~$16.5K) with human development index of 0.83 (very high).
Yet, the list price of new vehicles is easily 1.5x - 2x that in the US, and EVs are quite out of reach for most residents. (ex: Honda Civic HEV is listed for USD 55K [2])

By offering modestly priced EV retrofit kits, a market need is clearly being met.

Of course people with other skin color are also affected by poverty, or whatever it means to be a have-not, why wouldn't they be?

I didn't say the focus must be on skin color. I'm saying to disregard why certain groups are represented in the haves/have-nots, you must ignore history.

I don't believe you're arguing in good faith if you think point out that racism exists/existed, and you call that "racism shit"
Adding to this, it then makes sense why this isn't a thing in most developed countries as the burden of checking 4 apps seems to not be worth saving a few dollars for most people. In the US, for example, it seem like the two main competitors are Uber and Lyft, with Uber having 3x the sales as Lyft.[0] So it seems like most people will just check Uber and buy that no matter what.

No one I know across many, many 3rd world countries has ever done this or recommended it. I suggest learning how to vet the driver before getting into the vehicle. For example, does the driver and car's plates and description match what's in the app?

There's not enough information to derive this. Mean is a subset of things we call average, not a synonym of it.
From the russian view they are fighting an exiatential threat here though. They need to get off the plain to a shrunken border they can defend and that means being in poland and also going a bit further south to natural chokepoints. The alternative is joining the wwstern party and that means elections and reforms that would inevitably remove most of the current elite from power and decimate their earnings. Further their demographics are waning to the point they wont be able to field much of an army in the coming decades vs now so that outs more pressure on them to respond now. To me its strange to think it will stop here now that russia has paid such a high price. Its do or die time for their elites.

Cloudflare Partners with CrowdStrike

Clace currently is single-node. It uses a SQLite database for app metadata (which is what allows it to support atomic updates across multiple apps).

I will be adding multi-node support soon. The user will have to bring their own Postgres database and load balancer. Multiple Clace instances will run in parallel, each spinning up containers locally using Docker/Podman. For the internal tools use case, I think that should scale to support most workloads.

There will be cases where delegating container management to Kubernetes might make sense. Container management in Clace is a thin layer, it should be possible to use a K8S service/deployment wrapper instead of using local Docker or Podman.

The auto-idle feature might cause latency for services with a high startup cost. For most apps, it should be fine. It can be disabled individually for apps.

One of the image captions just says:

> Each new component for the vehicle is custom-made.

... which to me is kinda shocking. Both in terms of the cost of components and the labor needed to figure out each vehicle's specific conversion, this seems expensive, slow, and perhaps is a source of quality/safety concerns.

While I love the idea of being able to convert existing vehicles, more cheaply and with fewer resources than building all-new EVs, I'd think that you'd want:

- standardized components

- standardized math on safety implications (e.g. for the amount of increased mass, how do the breaks need to change to keep a reasonable stopping distance? Given some assumptions about driving speed, where does the center of mass need to be to avoid increased chance of rolling?)

- a slowly expanding database of specifics for each model and year, so if you're converting a previously-converted model, you can just follow a pre-compiled list of steps

You can help by reporting the sites on webcompat.com or via Firefox's new-ish add-on "webcompat.com reporter"
There should be a tool that runs in the background of your web browser and, every page you visit, captures and uploads it to some sort of archive. Anonymously, and it would have some way to prevent accidentally uploading bank details or other confidential information (this would have to work perfectly by default at least, so the best approach is probably a global whitelist with sites like Reddit, news etc. curated by trusted people).

Maybe this tool already exists, maybe it’s what ArchiveTeam uses, but more people should use it.

With enough people, you have an archive of websites that people actually visit (well, people who use the tool). With a few people it will only have the most popular sites and outliers, with more people and more time it will start reaching more niche content.

Furthermore, sacrifice some anonymity (at minimum you need some identity verification to prevent trivial SEO optimization, you'd probably also want region and other broad characteristics to filter) and you have a search engine. You can scrape the archived sites for keywords; you can determine how popular a site is by how many people visited it; and you can figure out whether two sites are related by the probability that someone who visits site A also visits site B.
Uber's approach to business is to crush any competition with bottom of the barrel rates, funded by investor money or foreign profits. If they can't kill all of the competition, their approach puts them at a loss without a chance to make their money back later.

Higher rates make it easier for competition to set up alternatives and let the free market do its job.
When he said "it had nothing to do with integrity" I think he meant that it had nothing to do with personal integrity, i.e. he's not bothered by lying to customers. It's clear he cares about the morale and culture of his team, and I guess he's making some distinction I don't understand between integrity and feeling bad because you're the guy on staff parading around a decoy chicken all night. My point is that maybe they should also think about other kinds of integrity, if only not advertising a product you aren't really selling, but probably also not lying to your guests.

If you make over $150k as an expat and have a non-American spouse (MFS, as many expats do) you’re looking at roughly $1-$5k in extra taxes that don’t qualify for the Foreign Tax Credit, and since they’re above FEIE, you effectively get double taxed.

Yes, if you have a bad accountant. If you're getting double-taxed on your global income as an American expat, your tax preparer is committing malpractice and you should immediately find a new one.

When Europeans move to the US, the IRS doesn’t say “let’s see how much gains you’ve accrued in your national pension fund and tax them yearly.”

Because we have tax treaties that address this with over 100 countries (including Protocols (updates to treaties) that address older treaties which were ambiguous on the issue of retirement income).

You can then take that to the country you reside, IF they have a tax treaty with the US, and apply for a credit which may or may not be accepted

This is false. If the treaty applies, you don't get a tax credit...because you aren't being taxed. Conversely, if you are taxed, you will get a tax credit regardless of whether there is a treaty because all major countries have a foreign tax credit regime.

Always humorous to see people who don't know anything about tax opine like they do just because they read a few things on reddit or HN and suddenly decided they were experts.
