...that most people don't really spend their time thinking about you so don't worry too much thinking negatively about this, do your best and that's about it. It's such a simple advice but it was life changing, both personally and also professionally.
You'd be surprised how faster the boot time back in those days got simply by disabling the kernel's printk! It was mostly for fun, of course, and there were alternative special-purposed inits too. I worked on a couple low-tier "netbooks" projects and the fastest we got was between 7-10 seconds but it wasn't worth the trouble and 15-30 seconds of boot time [to a fully functional desktop] back in 2008 was already fantastic anyway.
This is the juicy part of the whole announcement: "the crew of Polaris Dawn will conduct a spacewalk". That's going to be a major feat and important milestone for Starship (and Dragon until then, of course).
Personally I believe in full sovereignty and I want that, but it can still exist inside economical dynamics. Also, Mercosul is popular enough, I've never heard about people wanting it to be over for economical reasons or borders (only due to ideological politics fights).
As a brazilian I don't believe for a second that these are actual efforts unless Brazil (holding 1/5 of all planet's biodiversity alone) is held accountable enough to see economical sanctions being enforced by more developed countries. I can't think of other last resorts efforts other than economical ones and Brazil would surely listen to those if they were enforced right.
If you ever consider taking a leadership or management role please do yourself plus the people around looking up to you a favor and go to fucking psycotherapy. It's far more important than your technical skills (since you should be pretty senior by then anyway).
So I see 1Password ordered first in the list and I wonder how many of the other services actually are having their credentials managed through it by a whole team, and not simply managed by individuals holding superpowers outside a 1Password vault.
"While the American Interchange took millions of years, Dr. Carrillo said, the advent of industrial humanity has seen exotic species race around the globe, no land bridge required"
On that particular topic, I highly recommend "Super Species: The Creatures That Will Dominate the Planet" by Garry Hamilton. It's as interesting as it's terrifying.
If given two choices them being "stuck in discussions 'cause major perfect changes on a global scale are really hard and complicated to implement" and "anything that helps even if just a bit is welcome, incrementally we go further" I would pick the latter any day. The software patch culture in modern society should work better than unreal expectations with the type of education the average human being gets around the world.
I grew up under this rhetoric for those years you mention and I still think having a kind of Team America: World Police in real life is much worse and I don't want that back. But these are not mutually exclusive issues because super powers are supposed to balance each other out like the system of balances and checks with independent powers of a democracy. I like to think the world is on average a big democracy and no single super power should be its cop but China and Russia pretty much represent a joint state of affairs that is detrimental to every freaking human being. To see the US on its kees like I said is pretty depressing to the balances and checks expectations we all used to have.
So... "protection" like under the mafia but only if you can afford the state price, so its supporters invariably are high in the food^Wdecision chain. It doesn't seem like a very democratic rule of law.
I'm just eager for some international stability as the next person and I don't want the Cold War back (and I'd hope for a more Europe'zed world to be honest) but it's incredible how much reach of Russia and China tentacles the US allows these days. As a third-world citizen I'm very much surprised the US is basically on its knees hoping the two nations don't punch too hard.
I've never heard about this device before and I just learned about it today as friends pointed out they're kickstarting Arsenal 2 and it looks pretty neat software-wise: http://kck.st/3aX6iKM
I wonder if all camera brands support the same features of if those are brand-dependent as SDK varies across models. Also, if it's all "AI" magic software, it could be embedded (via licensing) into DSLRs or even smartphones... maybe?
Out of curiosity I did a quick Wikipedia check for total deaths in major racing sports categories as compared to the 32 mentioned in the article in NASCAR...
- F1: 45 (last death in 2015 and the one before in 1994)
- Le Mans: 22 (last death in 2013 and the one before in 1997)
- World Rally: 25 (last deaths in 2006 and 2005 and another in 1993)
- MotoGP: 103 (last deaths in 2016, 2011, 2010, 2003)
- Indy: 95 (last deaths in 2015, 2011, 2006, 2003)
- NASCAR Cup: 32 (last two deaths in 2001 according to Wikipedia)
I think you were a bit unfair because this is Miguel de Icaza, Google him up. He has probably invested (both in money directly and/or programming hours) into EVERY ecosystem you can think of in the last 25 years, paid and unpaid ones.
I totally agree with Icaza's points and they are the reason I'm still an Apple happy customer but there's another side to this that of all the players that could fight Apple it just happened that Epic was the first one to gather momentum (and have the actual balls). What I am saying is that it's a bullies fight and just because the one pointing fingers is an old dirty bully at the school yard we can't ignore the uncompetitive bully Apple is right now. It's easy to forget this after all the arguments of the article.
It's really funny and scary at the same time how companies these day choose (and convince most of us) privacy to only mean physical privacy, as if as long you are indoors at your house then your privacy is preserved, nothing to worry about. The more "ethereal" aspect of your privacy, on the other hand...
That looks very interesting! About managing YAMLs like we'd do with kubectl as explained in the article, how does topicctl differ both in concept and operation from Strimzi's Kafka Operator for Kubernetes? I know, they are a different company etc but that Kafka operator is gitops-friendly and everything so I'm honestly trying to compare them as managing Kafka is a REALLY HARD problem, so kudos for trying to make it easier!
You downvoted me with such condescending tone that borders an ad hominem because you did read too much on what I said and left zero space for debate. You must be proud.
Now I totally understand why Apple have piled up a huge mountain of cash and never spent a dime. They are going to accept anyone's challenge to court if necessary and use their 200M USD financial power to do whatever they can to keep the status quo at any price. I sincerely don't believe we as customers can win this one, fixing Apple (as we talk about here) would be something much bigger than what had been done to Microsoft in the 90s.
These days the language of science in popular media always remind me of Carl Sagan's The Demon-Haunted World with science as a candle in the dark and while corpora analysis is cool to create a bunch of word stats I believe modern science (supported by the recent steady lack of change in its language as shown in one of the article graphs) has inherently a problem of discourse and not of words to be clearer to the layperson. Discourse in the storytelling sense that appeal to their specific audience, but also not like those flourish articles that start like a romance which are pretty preposterous. In that way, perhaps, dunno, it's impossible to have a language of science that is efficient today while at the same time trying to appeal to everybody as it would be impossible to have an universal discourse that appeals equally to a person on minimum wage and a trader with a nice suit... in the end any universal language of science no matter how well its words are selected will fail, due to bad discourse IMHO.
I have never heard about Big Bounce before, honestly, but the illustration at the top of the article basically made sense in a heart beat and I'm impressed how simple yet how much of the idea it conveys, apparently, correctly. Kudos to the visual artist, usually these scientific illustrations used to explain a weird or novel idea are over the top.
You're right, but the article suggests otherwise. Their deadline to put half of the satellites in orbit is 2026 so it's plenty of time for BO to have launch capability but until they put ONE object in orbit it's all vaporware, unless Amazon says right now Kuiper is open to other launch providers, which I have not seen in any news source yet.
That's the biggest if clause you will ever see about this because in order for it to succeed at all BO needs to actually launch something to orbit at least once before we talk about success of a commercial product on top of their rockets.
I follow up SpaceX quite closely, I admit, but any news about products that absolutely depend on the launch capability of BO is vaporware at most and most probably a PR stunt so they look relevant. They need to deliver something, anything, it's that simple.
How does it compare in aftertaste and smell to Erythritol and Sucralose?
What is the GI value of this?
What are the temperature limits for consumption without messing up with flavors and your health?
I've been using Sucralose for years and I'm quite happy with it and it's cheap, sweet and taste great enough for me to consider changing sweetener in my keto diet. Why do you think I should change it to this product?
