Definitely considering it when my current X1 carbon will trespass into laptops Valhalla.
It's becoming exhausting being a non-US netizen. It takes effort to constantly be vigilant and switch context and detect US political double speak.
I am really not sure I am doing this right and I am tired...
Here's my config files with a lot of i3 goodies: https://github.com/riccardomc/rcs
Maybe you'll find something useful in there.
> the United States' economic success is a result of public and state funded investments in innovation and technology, rather than a result of the small state, free market doctrine that often receives credit for the country's strong economy.
I really liked this Freakonomics episode[2] if you're more the podcast kind of person.
He's regarded as a very important religious figure in my region and home town. I am quite sure a lot of more conservative people would find the idea that he was an attraction for rich people utterly offensive.
I find this very fascinating because as I grew apart from my catholic upbringing and started questioning things, after visiting Francis' alleged hermitage, I could never shake the thought that it didn't seem very remote, secluded or uncomfortable...
I wish it had a mobile version and a better markdown editor like https://typora.io/
There's no real way to demonstrate that a few larger players are better than many smaller ones.
Maybe is good for economies of scale, but mainly for the big fishes and only marginally for end users.

I guess the "focus on the mission" companies are trying to foster among their ranks is also useful to distract oneself from what your own mission actually is.
This hiatus on company focus might have been the best thing that happened to a lot of engineers I know.
Including, alas, myself.
Wow, this is way over my pay grade, but it sounds like this result makes quantum computers much harder to justify?
I'm genuinely baffled. Anyone know why?

There's nothing wrong with that, as long as you build a satisfying life for yourself.
But make sure that you live your own dream not your parents'.
And to avoid that risk, you need to think long and hard how you want to fill your time. This means focusing on what you like to do instead of being miserable being someone you're not.
The former seems much more about extrinsic motivations: status, salary, prestige, title, etc.
I am getting more and more convinced that to have a sustainable and fulfilling career you need to be honest with yourself and find out what you like to do not what you'd like to be.
Trade-offs apply...
Therefore it works the other way around too: someone can worship Satan in a death metal band in his private life and work at a Catholic school.
The very definition of maturity is assuming the role appropriate to the situation. What I think might influence my decisions, but in my job is my duty to set aside what I think and act in the interest of my employer. Not mine.
Now we live in a time where your work identity an personal are conflated into one. Your work is who you are. There's no longer life beyond it.
Maybe is a good thing... But it's certainly exhausting to me. Everyone putting up their best behavior all the time.
On the other hand, that article from a year ago is most probably outdated by now.
Just like Inbox 0, I aim for Tab 0. Serenity is the reward for this small disciplined effort.
Close them. They're not going anywhere. You can always find the links back tomorrow. An entire multi-million industry wants you to find them back as easily as possible.
You might even find better ones when you start fresh.
It's just your loss aversion instincts kicking in[1]. It's how your brain is wired. But we live in the golden age of information retrieval. You don't need to hoard tabs. Your brain just doesn't know.
Trust me, if you can. Close them.
It will be ok.
It is becoming more and more evident that ransomware attacks are the killer app of crypto.
I help companies with cloud transformations and often I come across situations where businesses are in trouble because they completely lost their operational knowledge. They might know how their applications work internally, but they have no clue how the machinery around them keeps them ticking.
Once I was at a company in Northern Europe that desperately needed to modernize their stack running on legacy mainframes in a colocation datacenter.
Their core business was based on winning the five years government tender for a very crucial public service. They won for years and years, but now they were scared shitless because the new tender explicitly mentioned that the system was supposed to be hosted "in the cloud" and developed using a "microservices architecture".
The main issue was two-fold. On one hand, for decades they offloaded the deployment of their core systems to the technicians of the datacenter itself with which they had an amicable and personal relationship. On the other, said datacenter was being bought by a US megacorp who didn't give a crap about the existing personal relationship with this very specific, crucial use case and told the company to simply pay them a crazy amount of money to perform the migration.
They were also so blind to their lack of understanding of their own deployment process that they called us only two months away from the deadline. So, yeah... I advised my employer to stay away from this death march.
And for the Singularity, it better have a good DevOps neural net.
You mention that there are "philosophical and practical grounds" to oppose this kind of "restauration", yet you say that "it's a shame" we cannot do it, suggesting we should indeed prefer erasing centuries of Italian history to please tourists and attract more funds.
It is remarkably funny how the "return to order", "purity", "glory of the roman empire" was exactly the same rhetoric and aesthetic of the Italian Fascist party. I guess this could be counted among the massive missteps you mentioned?
I think you would have a much better experience if you just enjoy the stratification of history and art that Rome, Italy and the Pantheon represent instead of projecting a subjective idea of how things should be.
And yes, it's a tacky mess at times, but is not up to you, tourists, a party or even a government to decide on a scale of dignity of historic periods.

People need solutions to their problems and they develop them asynchronously and in isolation from each other. Turns out that some problems are more universal than others and could benefit from a common effort.
Suddenly, solutions collide and collaboration happens. What you describe is exactly what they are trying to do now: https://github.com/godaddy/kubernetes-external-secrets/pull/...
So, rejoice! The magic of open source and internet enabled collaboration is happening right before your eyes! :)
The proliferation of these type of projects clearly shows the need for secret handling. While I think that more solutions for the same problem is not a bad thing, I also believe that we could benefit from a coordinated effort.
My colleagues are actively working with GoDaddy's maintainers to find a common way forward by standardizing the "ExternalSecret" CRD and eventually merging the projects[2].

You might need X11 python bindings and other dependencies that in general should be available on most distros.
See if it works for you, enjoy:
