The Falcon 3.0 box was huge just to contain this manual. The game had so much depth and the manual somehow was able to make it make sense.

It's just not reliable enough for everyday use.

Last year I started roller skating. It's way more fun as an adult than as an awkward kid.
Some of the big timesharing services (think Telenet and Tymnet, eventually even AOL) out there ran their own servers, which a lot of smaller services dialed into.
How do you join the mesh? You met someone at Usenix or a similar conference and said "I'm sitting on a whopping 800mb of storage and a T1 line at my university. I'm tired of waiting a week to get the new comp.lang.c hotness. Think I could hook up to your machine for Usenet?" and they'd be like "Cool! Yeah, here's the dialup number. Try to call after 11pm so my boss doesn't know about it."
NNTP took this concept of syncing files and made it Internet native and specific to Usenet. But the architecture remained largely the same.
Containers aren't a new concept. But in today's world, we're usually talking about the intersection of three Linux features:
* namespaces bundle resources (processes, disk, I/O, etc.) together, isolating them from each other. They're a teacher with a class full of rowdy kids.
* cgroups (control groups) limit and audit how many resources a group of processes can use. They're traffic cops.
* Union File System sits on top of another file system. Anything in the underlying file system is visible, but writes and new files only appear in the UnionFS mount. This layer can be thrown away at the end of a session, leaving the base filesystem pristine. It's the tracing paper you used as a kid when you were learning to draw.
Processes in a container run on the same kernel as the other apps you run, but they're isolated, controlled, and kept from scribbling all over the disk. Add some tooling and standards and you have the foundations of modern #softwaredevelopment !
This issue doesn't just affect bloggers and small time content creators, either. Lots of big companies are commissioning their own typefaces or switching their brand standards to use free fonts. It's such a shame – I would love to see more variety and expressiveness out there.
- Caddy acting as a reverse proxy in front of the other apps
- Wallabag to capture articles I want to read later on my e-reader
- Calibre Web to manage my ebooks & PDFs
- Two Minecraft Bedrock Edition servers for my kid & their friends
- Yopass for secure password & secret sharing
Prior to this, I had a Raspberry Pi in the closet for hosting and it was frustrating. Not only did I have a hard time finding Docker containers for some apps that were actively maintained for ARM, but one time my SD card died and took everything with it. Since then, I've started mounting directories on my Synology NAS and using that as RAID-enabled storage that gets backed up to the cloud every night.
Exactly! Bil Herd said it was just supposed to get them through a year until the Amiga picked up. Nobody expected the 8-bit line to last so long with a multitasking multimedia powerhouse out there for under $1000.
If you're in the Boston area, stuff shows up at the MIT Flea a lot.
The partner who didn't give birth is there to take care of two mostly helpless human beings, one who just came into to the world and one who needs rest and TLC so they can rejoin the world quickly.
Not everyone has an easy time of it though. They either can't produce any or not enough and the combination of this pressure and post-partum depression can be life-threatening. There's a lot more that goes into the decision to formula feed than cost.
When you talk about being a dad in your post, it sounds like you're focused on your career but right now that's less important. Being a parent is your number one job. You have to clothe and feed and change and love this new person and they are going to look up to you as this amazing person who makes them feel comfortable, happy, and safe.
(Don't forget your partner here either. They're going to be recovering from giving birth and needing your presence and support.)
Take all the parental leave you're legally entitled to. And if the company offers more, take it!
I remember when my little bean was born and I'd spend like half an hour bottle feeding them in the kitchen bored off my butt. So I started responding to Stack Overflow questions other people were ignoring. And I would talk to my kid about it and why it was so important to help these people, and a little about the technology, and why I chose this career for myself. Babies don't understand any of that, but I was giving them my attention, I was making sounds they eventually learned to copy, and I think the best part is they got to see Mama excited about something.
We would spend hours cuddled up on the nursery floor with a pile of pillows, some Tangerine Dream albums, and stories about people I've met and things I've done.
Parental leave is a great opportunity to look at things through new eyes. I feel like I learned so much about being a manager by trying to explain it to a newborn. I hope you find it to be a positive experience as well.
