All of this technology being propped up by massive teams of engineers who literally wrote that frankenstein OS. It might work great for MS, but that doesn't mean it will work well for normal people.

...Miami is in Florida

I manage literally 100k+ Linux nodes for my day job. I don't want to manage any more than I need to, so my workstation is a Mac.

Hello

I use a stream deck for a few common macros I type often while programming. It works great.

His photo gets posted to /r/brooklyn every few months. I really don't know what this story resonates so well with people.

Every day there are reports of many new missing/homeless/dead people, why is this man more important than all the others?

And all those landlords are looking forward to a nice federal bailout.

We're not talking expert-level infosec here. They should have firewalled their CI systems. That's pretty basic stuff.

Superstitious men in China consume scales from these rare animals in an attempt to cure impotency.

I just found out about k6, and I'm wondering why it's better than jmeter?

Rushing half-finished products out, offering little/zero support is the new Microsoft.

The reason $MSFT loves open source is because they can get press hype over projects that are 75% complete (which is the main goal), and they don't even need to support it, document it, or make it actually work.

Dear SF,

More apartments built will not help make housing more affordable for normal people.

Learn about the NYC real estate market- even pre covid apartment vacancy was extremely high, and the true numbers are unknown because building developers are manipulating the market by releasing units slowly.

With all the excessive inventory in NYC, you'd think that a normal person (defined by median income) could afford to buy... But it's still not possible here.

I installed the yellow dog build, it was terrible because there was only 256mb of ram available for general use, and no low-level hardware access to video acceleration.

People complain about this like it was so awful they removed this feature, but TBH it was terrible and only designed so they could get around tariffs in some countries by calling it a computer rather than a videogame console.

Programming has been my "day job" for a long time, but writing music has been my real passion.

It's absolutely standard for electronic musicians to bounce tracks with computationally expensive plugins to static audio tracks while working. Otherwise, there is usually not enough CPU available to perform all the DSP for a complex song. (Additionally, bouncing tracks to audio gives more control over fades, cross-fades, tails, etc.)

This blog post confuses me, because is he playing the VSTs live? Why not trigger bounced audio instead?

A friend of mine worked as an assistant in his studio in Brooklyn. One time Murikami sent someone out to pick up his lunch, and they brought back the wrong order. He got so angry that he knocked the bag out of her hands, and then punched her in the stomach (then fired her).

Any interesting stories?

Why does metadata encryption matter?

Wait, Docker has customers? I would pay for Docker Desktop, it's great. I've just never heard of anyone giving Docker money.

It's probably spotlight reindexing. This has been a problem with every version of osx for the past 20 years. Let it run overnight, and it should be caught up.

This is why they make both chocolate and vanilla ice cream. Personally, I hate Ruby. I've been programming for over 20 years, and know and use several languages. Ruby is not my least favorite, but is pretty far down on my list.

I agree, but this might be impossible for companies that license various closed-source software from other companies. For example, slingbox may have licensed various hardware drivers, and don't have the right to distribute their source code.

I don't know what the right answer is, but I'm not sure "open source everything" is the right one in this case.

I would think that rclone to S3/GCS/Backblaze would be better, because what if your rsync target is also encrypted with something like this?

If you don't print much, your inkjet printer will probably not work when you actually need it.

All they would do is hire a company to "decrypt" who just pays the ransom on the clients behalf.

Completely guessing... 100% speculation. Yahoo likely owned several hard assets that Verizon wanted. Such as Real estate, patents, ISP bandwidth/peering agreements, IP space.

Coinbase is an american company

No, but they enjoy faster performance that JiT optimization yields

Perhaps Microsoft is finally tired of trying to get Azure working on the Windows kernel.

Or possibly they need this for ARM VM instances?

This reads like a Slashdot post from 1998.
