Surprising to some, this is the literal definition. The word "concurrent" is a portmanteau from Latin, "con" translates as same and "current" translates as time. Concurrent literally means "same time". Comp Sci really needs to use a different word.
Snap has some downsides for server/infrastructure packages. Automatic updating being the most visible, but they are generally all about lack of control. This is what Snap does, it moves the power from users to developers.
Its interesting to see how much trouble it has making a simple turn. The doubled up tracks seem to be a mobility disadvantage.
Free speech as codified in Bills of Rights is there to stop the Government from censoring people, usually opponents of the current Government.
The idea that you can speak whatever you want is ridiculous. There are many laws in the way of this, Assault, Libel/Slander, Perjury, etc
"Giving developers operational responsibilities has greatly enhanced the quality of the services, both from a customer and a technology point of view. The traditional model is that you take your software to the wall that separates development and operations, and throw it over and then forget about it. Not at Amazon. You build it, you run it." - Werner Vogels, Amazon CTO (2006)
DevOps meant that Developers are also responsible for Operations. But that meaning is lost to time, just like hacking meaning programming.
I guess Apple has conceded!
CentOS failed twice, it ran out of money in 2014 and was rescued back then by Redhat sponsership. Again in 2020. Another widely used RHEL respin was Scientific Linux which mothballed when RHEL 7 was released.
There seems to be lots of potential users but not lots of potential money for a RHEL respin.
Its a new direction for Apple in their laptop architecture, and a solid first step, but the raw performance is not up to the fastest from AMD and Intel, and it lacks the ability to upgrade any of its components. I get it, its a laptop, but if you want to talk about performance lets put it out there: its a fast laptop.
People already in the Apple ecosystem will love M1, but it lacks a compelling reason to switch to Apple. Apple already made the best laptops, the M1 keeps that crown. People that were satisfied buying Windows laptops and Chromebooks will continue to do so because the criteria they used when making a buying decision involved other factors than "I want the best".
I expect SoC designs to fracture the CPU market in the coming years and kill AMD and Intel, but unless M1 opens up to other designers and companies its a tangent in the great CPU race.
You can err on the side of caution, or err on the side of risk. Sweden has err'd on the side of risk and it is looking like that was a bad choice.
Every week that goes by Sweden imposes more restrictions. Soon they will have as many restrictions as the rest of Europe.
This is scarey.
Holy cow I wish I had never "spoken up" in the first place.
The city loves the taxes though.
This is a 44 year old limitation.
As a junior employee who didn't know any better (and no negotiation leverage anyway) I accepted the deal. Fast forward a couple of years and as a potential sale of the company approached it was announced that the stock was going to split 10 for 1. What this means is everyone with shares now had 10x, while option numbers were unaffected (ignoring that the stock price is now 10% of what it was).
When the company was bought the price per share was equal to the strike price of a second grant of options I had, making them worthless. I suspect most of the employee options were at this strike price.
A fellow employee with shares made 40x what I did for starting a month earlier. My payout was <$30k.
In the Pentium 1 era EDO RAM maxed out at 256MB/s and hard disk xfer was 10MB/s. Common RAM size was 16MB.
In today's era DDR4 maxes out at 32GB/s and hard disk xfer is 500 MB/s. Common RAM size is 16GB.
RAM xfer rate has grown is 320x. RAM capacity has grown 100x. Disk xfer rate has grown 50x.
Swap is no longer a useful tool.
Avg temperature -14c in Jan to 19c in July.
Avg precipitation 19mm April to 65mm August.
Avg windspeed <10mph year round.
UV index +4 in July (50% cloud cover).
Terrain: small and flat.
Conclusion: a tiny, flat city with cool, yet mild weather is a good place to ride a bike year round.

The Proterra buses (company quoted in the original link) look to have 1000s of pounds of battery in a bus. Judging by the ferocity of a laptop/phone battery burning if the bus' batteries could be maliciously burned it would be an absolute inferno.
I don't agree with your analysis. Toyota's shifter is unsafe.
First gear is all the way down and to the right. Then left for 2nd, up and left for 3rd, up for 4th, right (!!!) for 5th (aka drive). Now it gets dangerous, if you go up and right you get reverse.
Is there a method to this madness?
File attributes override the nix permissions such that you can set the immutable flag on a file and even root can't modify it. `chattr +i FILENAME && rm FILENAME`
On distros that use capabilities copying a file doesn't copy capabilities by default. ie copy the ping program and it wont work unless you're root.
When SElinux blocks an action the error message is almost always wrong. ie A program tries to make a TCP connection which it doesn't have permission for. Instead of an error message like "SElinux violation" you get an error like "No route to host". To debug you need to look at the SElinux audit.log and try to match up timestamps of violations to when your program died.
Actually UK is 230V and North America is 120V.

Concurrent is a word that pre-dates computers, and for the English language to work we need to stay true to its definition. The dictionary definition is: "occurring or existing simultaneously".
