Here's another unpopular hn opinion.

Don't, go learn past technologies instead. People leaving school for tech in 10 years likely aren't going to have stood up servers and configured services. We'll be lucky if they've used anything that isn't a web gui on a large cloud operation. Rad Hat has already signaled it is going in this direction by tossing out their EX300 exam in favor of the EX294. I believe we will continue seeing such a trend going forward. There's going to be a growing need and shrinking availability of competent sysadmins over the next 10 years if I had to guess.

Because they pay for the testing. A restaurant will not (it would serve no purpose to find out 1-3 days later that someone had covid.) Furthermore the people working on films are employees of a studio that are contractually required to uphold the measures they agree to or they can lose their jobs. A restaurant has no such agreement with their customers.

"Linux has systemd" and that's why the author didn't select it supposedly. I hear this line of thought from people that use FreeBSD often, although I suspect if you ask many of those people why systemd is so horrible you won't actually hear a legitimate (and still relevant) reason from them. I suggest anyone that thinks systemd is terrible and doesn't spend lots of time in Linux to watch this presentation by Benno Rice.

It loaded for me earlier today, I think github is just having issue.

Weird as in exactly what you allow by assigning an open source license to your code? I'm not sure when the mentality of "the little guys can use my code but companies better pay me" crept into common discussion around open source, but it's never worked that way. If Nintendo didn't find a library up to their standards, they would have just created their own (likely not open source) version.

I mean that sucks for your wife, but what prevents literally anyone else from impersonating someone and unlocking a device? There are very good reasons that Apple does not "cooperate" in theses situations. Passwords are not supposed to be bypassed by third parties.

Infrastructure doesn't "run for a lifetime" without the proper upkeep and regular maintenance... just like code. There is no set and forget in technology, just because you are doing the infrastructure work doesn't mean someone in the company isn't.

Looks neat, but as someone else mentioned having the option to use a stand alone account would be even better. I will never personally use sites that require Oauth to make accounts, and I suspect others may feel the same way.
