Cool.

What a ridiculous thing that is. Thats so clunky and unappealing. Somebody should just write some software to simulate direct gaze into the camera or something more elegant than attaching a periscope to the top of your poor laptop.

This seems like a case of trying to cram the ruinous practices back into pandora's box, which has been leaking for a very long time. Transport companies have had a long time to optimise their extraction of value from cheap, easily exploitable employees from overseas.

The easily exploitable workers aren't available anymore, so the companies who exploited them will have to change their exploitation habits if they want to fill their positions from the remaining labour pool.

Of course a landed citizen isn't going to sign up to be treated unfairly if they don't have to, they're not as desperate and therefore not as exploitable. I imagine they're reading the terms of employment on these positions with disgust, and so they should.

If you use https://search.marginalia.nu/ to search for blogs, you'll find all that kind of thing he laments is missing.

I know right? Only people who have something to hide would care if some bespectacled reprobate snaps down-shirt shots of them on the subway to share the 'experience' with their fellows.

Often the excuse used to do things properly the hard way even though you're just starting out, is to prepare for unexpected growth.

But I like the sentiment with this, and it does seem advantageous to get used to reforging new systems every so often when you reach a certain threshold of demand, rather than spending all your money on building the perfect foundation of a building you might not be able to finish.

I was referring to the Bloomberg article, you can turn off that incredulity-drive now.

>It's not the recommended devops tool for any cloud provider.

What is the recommended devops tool for azure in your opinion?

I think he's more angry at ARM templates than anything else. I'm learning terraform to work with Azure. Primarily because one day I might need to work with any other cloud provider and I don't want to learn 3 different DSLs when I might be able to get away with learning 1. But even that sounds like wishful thinking as I write it out.

In usual circumstances, free work is generally appreciated. But I imagine it's a bit different with code, as most people prefer writing code to reading it.

Why is that story so far fetched exactly?

You're entitled to your opinion, but what you're suggesting is wrong. What you've said are some observations made and some interpretations based on evidence gathered but none of it concludes that cellular organisms invented DNA, that suggestion is still stuck in a chicken vs egg scenario.

The fact is, we don't know how these systems could have created themselves or been created abiogenesis. There are wildly different theories, but it's far from a closed case.

I used to think the same thing as you because that's all I was taught to think, but perhaps if you looked at what synthetic chemists think about abiogenesis you may find it interesting / informative to see what they have to say about the challenges involved in it.

It's amazing to live in a time where we have the technology to investigate all the incredibly well architected systems in molecular biology. The researchers must be having so much fun, I feel happy for them.

Yes you're right, we know that DNA is inert and used as a storage device by an organism.

What we don't know is how an organism with no intelligence (cell), could develop code (DNA), archive it, rehydrate it and then parse and copy it like someone with intelligence.

Without getting too deep into it, it's just not convincing anymore to appeal to vast amounts of time and random chance to do something which is fundamentally within the realms of engineering.

This is the correct answer, and also the hardest answer because it's going to require you to have to swallow your pride.

Security will already be monitoring your traffic as a basic first step, which they will pipe straight into a SIEM or SOAR system. Doing this stuff will likely get you flagged for an audit.

Just to clarify, are you saying that there is a Linux distro out there which you can install on a 2019+ model MBP which will not ruin the touchpad with multitouch and battery experience?

Same bro

I think theres good reason to be concerned about investing in an OS which doesn't have the kind of well funded security team capable of actively hunting for APTs with rigor and reacting promptly to zero days once they're found.

It is depressing, but phones are unique in that they need to work flawlessly in an emergency which I think is a factor in preventing people from straying from the path "well-travelled".

This is much to my lament as well, because I would love to feel more free to experiment with phone operating systems and hardware addons.

But if you unplug the machine its running on, its over.

Why’d they name it PyPy, it sounds phonetically exactly like PyPi. aaaahhh this is going to be so confusing
