I installed Debian on WSL for the very first time a few weeks back. Windows explorer gives access to the Debian folder while it is running and no access otherwise. Had me scratching my head. I don't know much about virtualisation, but if that is the key, they could probably have a highly customised, small Linux kernel running all the time perhaps.

I will have to disagree with both you and GP to a certain degree.

A developed country is not where even the poor have cars, it's where even the rich use public transport - a quote attributed to many including LKY.

Extrapolating this to the current argument (disclaimer: not read the article), if the same system is thrust onto the rich and poor alike, it should get better over a period of time, no?

This is a complicated question, thoughts welcome.

Thank you. Been a vi (not vim, vi) user for decades for editing files in /etc.

Tried using vim, neovim, Emacs, mg, etc a month ago and quickly went back to pycharm which hogs resources on my ancient computer.

Have been looking for a "how-to" on various editors. This video seems to be it for neovim.

Pondering as well... Machine learning should have some applications

May I steal that line?

I find introductions to books too boring, whether Maths, Programming or just about anything. I hope to document my Programming learning progress and document it in a small book. And I totally wish to steal that line.

Origins according to a many-times-over gilded comment on reddit (I forget which sub) went something like this -

subservient office culture in Japan where the big boss was reading it, so it spread to the entire organisation from where it spread to other organisations. It got to a point where no one knew why they were reading it, just that they had to. Around the same time it caught imagination of the Americans because of the Japanese (who were actually pretty efficient at their jobs).

Will look for the comment and post if it takes me less than 15 mins.

Edit: forgot how bad reddit search was. While I did not find what I was looking for, this [0] is one high quality answer you may be interested in. Only top comments are heavily moderated on that sub.

I have some farming experience under my belt, zero with rice.

You have to look at labour as a function of season. If while planting, there are no competing jobs, but while harvesting, there are (or the other way around)... That would be your answer.

Not exactly, I tried to configure the trackpad open-source (driver?) ages ago.

The hardware itself has so many features/switches which are not open and hence not available to the software.

The hardware and software go hand in hand IMO.

Maybe things have changed now, this was at least 7+ years ago.

What you said, and what I'm retorting with requires data, lots of it. But my understanding is that given unchecked power in a domain, almost all of them do the same.

>As a managed platform that brings modern development standards to background jobs (ex: multi-env support, zero-API design), we enable Node.js developers to build products faster and scale without effort and infrastructure knowledge.

Can you please elaborate more on the modern development standards bit? I've always been intrigued by changes on development forefront from early 90's time.

Some of it is paywalled, seems interesting... Got another link perhaps?

>An owner’s rights in this situation depend on what state they live in and what’s in their loan agreement.

A good starting point would be to define ownership. Do you still own your car? Yes, you pay for it. Like in the case of a popular car manufacturer offering ventilated seats only if you pay them ARR, or another one offering a better turning radius if you are on an annual contract. What it always comes down to is ownership.

Look up Andrej Karpathy's tutorials. He teaches you Character Language Model building from scratch.

And he gets a lot of love from the HN folk too.

I'm 45. I run a small ISP. It's a dying business, which will be dead in maybe 7 years or so as prices in my geographical area drop 10-15 percent every year.

I started an agri commodity trading business in 2015 (anticipating telecom going down in the future) which did quite well for a while. Covid years were ultra bad. And the market instead of recovering has gone even worse now. Many small companies are closing down (2 of my clients this month).

Learnings from 2001, 2007/8 were to turn to education in a down cycle. I had anyway not completed my undergrad college degree. I joined one in data science. Found some problem areas for my existing clients could be solved with data science. Registered a new company last month, and this week got my a miniscule seed funding (debt).

Things are not great but they're still looking up for me. I do not consider myself skilled at anything except maybe relationship building. I too feel that I've faked a lot by just being there. I would suggest you leverage your existing experience, join a MOOC, network with people - it'll take a while, maybe a year or more, but things will work out.

I'll leave you with this cliche - luck is when preperation meets opportunity. Be prepared.

I have the exact opposite opinion (about the OpenBSD book). I used basic ls, dd, tar, ps, cat, etc. Did not know (still do not) Unix systems beyond configuring a basic "how to" driven webservers, DNS servers, etc.

Michael Lucas can delve into depths without making it sound too technical IMO. Sure, you can skip chapters too (ktrace in my case) and continue with the next one if it gets heavy.

His books can be read by newbies and seasoned pros alike.

Farming experience since 2014-15. My advice would be to immediately contact a coffee contract farming company in your area. Work out the minutest details in terms of work and costs, something similar to WBS in project management.

Next sign a 3-5 year contract with the contract farming company (WBS was to make sure you're not getting a raw deal). Get them to provide you technical help. The way this works is, they recommend and you execute.

All the best!

I use OpenBSD as a daily driver. To make GP's point though, there are a few video's [0] and blog posts dissing OpenBSDs security claims.

Works for me, both on cellular and on home broadband. Would be good if you confirmed with your ISP first.

Slight nitpick, Total gold above the earth's surface is less than a cube with sides 25 metres each.

How I learnt/taught myself when I first studied this subject, was characteristic or character. People change when they come into money, or rather their character changes (in my head I called them characterless). People with character don't change. Characteristic vector/Eigen vector is something which doesn't change.

Someone's chopping onions. I feel I'm faking it everytime I read something like this.

As a human interest story. I'd like to know more if you're okay to share. How is he doing now?

> Recent mathematical treatments of linear algebra and related fields invariably treat vectors as columns (there are some technical reasons for this)

As someone who is studying the subject, I would be greatful if someone can please explain the technical reasons for this. I do not understand why I can't write them as row vectors and do the same Linear Algebra trickery (which we do with column vectors) another way around.

2012, it died a horrific death in 2012. 3 MBAs didn't last me more than 2 years. I still use Macs from 2007.

IIRC, the argument from the developers on OpenBSD misc mailing lists is that developing on 30 year museum pieces gives them perspective on the difference between right and wrong. It exposes them to more "stuff" than if it were the other way around.

Fanboy Alert! (I may be biased).

Not a company, but OpenBSD dogfoods exclusively. And they do deliver a good product.

Thank you. I don't know how to save comments, hence the spammy comment so that I can come back to it later.

As someone who reads a lot of history, please head over to r/AskHistorians

It has very strong moderation, and low quality answers are deleted. Their papers cite methods and hypothesis which removes a lot of "fiction" from the equation.

Also, they get quoted in mainstream media too. The content quality is out of this world.

I drive a Tata Nexon EV 30kwh battery, 3.5 KW charger which I bought for Rs 1.6 million (16 lakh). The new ones with 40kwh battery, 7 KW charger costs Rs 1.9 million (19 lakh). On road is lesser due to subsidies (not sure if there are any active subsidies).

Tata Tiago is priced much lesser. I would be vary of range as advertised (unlike many other countries). My car gives me practical range of 220 kms and the advertised range is 312 kms. I drive at 115 to 125 WH per km, my wife drives at 135 to 150 WH per km.

We haven't received request for blocking blocks of IPs till date. Maybe it happens with upstream ISPs or peering exchanges, I'm unsure.

In the past, we have received requests for single IP addresses
