It will not make you unhappy. It will just not make you happy. Big difference. The saying "money can't buy happiness" is in fact true no matter how much people want to rationalize the opposite.

No, it was Top Gun on NES.

Pixel 9a is the closest to a no bump phone out of the major brands.

It's pretty fundamental to the personality of people in sales to be driven by getting the sale and getting compensated based on the deal size. If you remove that carrot, it just doesn't work. Some sales people will make millions, some will make nothing.

"He was informed the flagging was for two reasons: first, he was told he had an incorrect visa, but he was also told that there was another reason that the agents would not disclose to him.

“I can’t help but wonder whether my frequent, and less than flattering, public comments regarding their president and his administration played a role – or perhaps I’m simply succumbing to paranoia,” he said."

This is most likely a very mundane event. Was his visa actually incorrect, because the second speculation is irrelevant if that is the case. I don't know, it would be nice if they clarified that point.

"With 4 out of 5 people keeping their flats, “Housing First” is effective in the long run. In 20 percent of the cases, people move out because they prefer to stay with friends or relatives – or because they don’t manage to pay the rent. But even in this case they are not dropped. They can apply again for an apartment and are supported again if they wish."

There are no preconditions, but there are conditions to maintain. In this case, rent being required apparently. This is the recipe for success that I've seen. And if they don't maintain the conditions they get kicked out with the opportunity to come back and try again.

Stop trying to make fetch happen.

Seems very similar to https://dist.sh/ but distillery seems a bit more robust.

The transition to Wayland also seems to correlate with the adoption of client side decorations (CSD). This "modern" approach destroys the traditional UX of XFCE as seen by recent changes in the settings manager. I fear for the future of XFCE. The advantage of XFCE for me has always been that it's a stable implementation of a traditional Win98/XP UX. I hope they don't adopt more Gnome3 patterns.

A tax refund means you paid too much taxes and the government refunds the excess. The size of the refund means nothing except how good you are in predicting taxes.

Next they can fix nil checks on interfaces.

I’m not sure why this is a top post. The definitions of controller and operator are completely wrong. The example code is for creating a custom api server which is only done in the most advanced of advanced use cases. The implementation of the apiserver is too naive to demonstrate they have any understanding of the complexity that supporting watch will cause.

In some ways. The same team that created Rio created Acorn.

This exact use case is built into acorn. In the getting starting guide redis/postgres are included in the acorn, but in production those services can easily be overwritten with any k8s service and the embedded containers will not be ran. This is referred to as linking: https://docs.acorn.io/running/linking-acorns The docs only refer to linking acorns but the exact same thing works with linking a k8s service to an acorn.

The most important thing to learn from this article is the reference to "27 eight-by-ten color glossy photographs and circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one"

Without knowing it, they reinvented the Kubernetes informer which I've proven can scale way past their current scale.

GoDaddys founder does not sit on the board and has no active role in the company.

I grew up (in the 80s) by a bank that was routinely robbed. It was conveniently located by a freeway on ramp and had a drive thru.

Over time they closed the drive thru and eventually removed direct street access to the bank to try to discourage robbers.

Ah the good old days.

k3s still defaults to sqlite. For HA dqlite was dropped in favor of embedded etcd in k3s 1.19.

It's everywhere, and it's not going anywhere soon. Hopefully soon enough it will fade into a layer most don't see or care about, like the hypervisor.

I'm all for this for the shipping industry and completely unmanned, but I'm not about to fly on this myself.

I find it a bit surprising that classful networks is not common knowledge. I guess it's just a sign that times have changed. This was a basic thing I learn when I first learned about subnets.

I can't recommend Linux From Scratch enough. If you want to understand the composition of the Linux user space, this is one of the best exercises to follow.

SUSE is owned by EQT which is an investment organization. They basically provide the capital and resources to grow a business and then get out when it reaches a target. This is very different from IBM/Red Hat.

Acquihire usually indicates the company failed to make a sustainable business and you are just buying the talent. I can say that is not the case here. Rancher's business was/is phenomenal on all counts. But regardless I look forward to working with you in the future.

Longhorn serves a very difference use case than btrfs and CEPH so continued investment makes sense.

That's a link to an old version. The latest versions do officially support SLES. I think it was added in the 2.4 release. https://rancher.com/support-maintenance-terms/all-supported-...

This brings up a concept I never really thought of. Is it better to approach this problem from the perspective of privacy vs ownership. If it is not a tangible asset, ownership seems tricky. It's like IP law. Do you really own the observation of your behavior?

Is 4G/LTE connectivity also an issue? You've seen internet access brought to people through smart phones but I'm curious if the geography poses even more problems with that approach.

I've been unhappy with the direction of Ubuntu for awhile, but having said that it's still the best collection of packages that install with fairly sane defaults for desktop/laptop. I've adopted a model of starting with ubuntu-minimal installation and just installing the debs I want (disable recommended packages by default). This gives me a fairly reliable base from Ubuntu but a system assembled how I want (except systemd, can't avoid systemd).
