He was arrested in Hungary during the siege of Budapest. Everything after that is pure speculation. When he went to meet General Malinovsky he famously said he didn't know if he'd be a guest or a prisoner.

I've never heard any of this about a psychiatric ward before and he was definitely not arrested in Russia on a visit.He was also an OSS asset - and there is a more than decent chance that the Russians knew it. I do not see any way this very special case with this very special man can be used to make a statement about broader issues to do with mental health. I walk by a memorial to him near Deák ter on a regular basis and think of him often.

I use Authy for a few reasons. One is the ability to sync and use it across multiple devices. This is really convenient.

But the killer is the desktop app. I've had a number of instances where someone I was helping could not get the time of their phone and computer close enough to properly generate codes. Running the Authy app on the machine meant the time matched perfectly and they were finally able to log in.

It's not perfect but has some killer features.

When I was in VF-302 sometimes a reward for enlisted guys who did really well was a little simulator time. They all said just maintaining flight was very difficult and the minute adversaries were added, they were dead.

Is the "hot new thing" status of zsh due to the macos change or is there more going on with other platforms?

I've used both and maybe it's because I'm just not doing anything beyond normal, basic stuff - but I don't see a big difference.

I don't upgrade with every version. Usually I do it on odd numbered releases. Sometimes I'll make an exception for something I really need but typically I don't have any issues at all with that approach.

I use the KDE spin when I'm doing a fresh install. I find it to be very good. I tend to tweak my desktop a bit, I don't run with the straight defaults. The software for searching and installing packages seemed to not work well last time I checked but that was years ago- I tend to do all that with the dnf cli.

I have not moved to Wayland yet and it is not the default so that will be a big shift at some point. I also avoid nvidia. I used to use their cards but just got tired of the constant hassle.

I don't really try to push anyone towards Fedora or KDE. There are a lot of great choices when it comes to Linux but for me it's always been good. I run MacOS on my MBP for the few applications I can't run on Linux but that list has become really short. At this point I think Webex is the last thing that's holding me there. My next laptop may be a Lenovo.

My primary environment has been KDE on Fedora for the last 20 years or so.

No you aren't. And if you need to install MS Office stand by for constant Teams advertisements. I never did figure out how to turn those off.

Yes. I think it was a genius move. I'm subscribed to their channel and it is always at the top of my subscription list as being live. Having the video constantly feeding in fan submissions was also smart.

The band Twenty One Pilots references Bourbaki as an integral part of their most recent album, "Trench". They created some pretty intricate puzzles for their fans leading up to the release of the album and it was fun to watch all these (mostly) young people work it out and learn more about math history at the same time.

It took me a moment to process the title as Ur is Hungarian for "sir" or "lord".

resulting in the much loved venn diascan.

I went to the repo and read the license. The article made me think it was sold but open. Lots of FOSS software has purchase options. That alone doesn't indicate if something is foss or not. The license confused me, as I stated but they have another file "Contributing.md" that explicitly states it is not a FOSS license. Now I just wonder why anyone would work for them for free.

The post linked here has the section "The question of open source" and it states "While their source code is open, they do have commercial licenses and cost money (though a modest sum)." That is where they link to the github repo. I'd say all that wording also muddies the waters. I guess it's "open" in the sense that you can read it. But I don't consider that to be open. I guess they are drawing a distinction between FOSS and "open". I can't argue that but I still think the way it's written is confusing. (or maybe I'm just not current on how these terms are being more commonly used.)

The article says due to front end complexity. It's in the last sentence of the section with that header.

Never mind - their contributing.md document makes clear it isn't a FOSS project. ---------------

I wasn't familiar with Craft. Looking at it they seem to have their own license and it seems pretty restrictive. Can anyone point to any existing discussions about the implications of the license and if it is truly open source?

I understand FOSS projects that have some kind of payment option, but I don't understand how the code can be available but there is no way to run it without paying for it. The language of the license is also rather informal. As a layman it has an appeal to me but at the same time I'm wondering how some of those things are defined.

I think the best part about Slashdot in its best days were the people. You could be reading and article about Python and it was possible to see Guido in the comments. And while that was rare, the other upvoted comments were usually high quality from really knowledgable people and the noise was held down pretty well. As the good commentors left, all that was left is the noise. If you go now and look at comments often everything is downvoted excepted for a small number of o.k. comments. But most of the experts and really knowledgable people are gone.

HN seems to have filled some of the gap it left but I don't know of any other site since that has the same volume of really high quality content. I see some comments here blaming the inability for everyone to do metamoderation - but I'd say it was the opposite. When they had decent editors things were great. Your content will be as good as your moderators and I think reddit proves that simply having more of them doesn't assure better content.

I had an Oracle RAC cluster and a number of PeopleSoft servers that were incredibly difficult to get successfully patched for that change.

The other super annoying thing about it is it created a window at the beginning and end of DST where the US is out of sync with most of Europe.

My dad took my brother and I in the early or maybe mid 80s. I remember feeling like it was falling apart faster than they were building it and it was a cool spot but didn't seem to be going anywhere. Seems it hasn't changed much. My surprise is actually that it has kept going all this time.

Getting that to work consistently is a real pain in the ass. I drive around Europe a lot and I'll download maps to save on roaming data and often I've downloaded a place and my phone still wont be able to generate directions for me. I don't know if I miss little spots that are needed to connect my end points or if it is just broken. It's been this way for quite a while. I've downloaded routes themselves and had that fail as well.

The keyboard settings allow users to switch the behavior so that the function keys behave as such without holding down Fn. For me Minecraft is the driving reason for wanting physical function keys and a big part of why I still use my 2015 mbp.

They didn't ask your parents or legal guardian?

My experience in teaching hospitals is that the students back off if asked to do so but I think the request needs to come from the legally responsible person.

When I worked on the USS Carl Vinson we used to discuss what it would be like in some post apocalyptic scenario where we were left on the ship. We didn't like the idea. Of course, while the ship could have power and fresh water for years, the aircraft couldn't operate long without more fuel and the people on board would run out of food pretty quickly.

No- it's the script that needs updating.

eeereerews has the link to the issue that leads to a link with a corrected version of the script

It may. I have an uncle who would never admit it but when his dairy farm finally went bankrupt he started getting a regular paycheck, vacation for the first time in his life and my cousins couldn't get off the farm fast enough. Sometimes being forced to something new can help people do things they wouldn't try otherwise.

If they went rogue or something like that and the US government shut down their supply chain they'd be unable to fly in almost no time. Fighter aircraft take an enormous amount of maintenance to keep in an up status.

This was one of the big concerns if the US/NATO ever went toe to toe with the Soviet Union. With the way modern weapons systems work if they both went all at it, it would not be long before one side or the other had enough of an edge up - just through attrition - that there would only be two options left to the losing side - surrender or go nuclear. You can't have two fully capable super powers fighting one another all out for years any more. You'll run out of stuff that works too fast.

My favorite milblogger retired, hated having a "regular" job, joined ATAC and then died not too long later flying an old Israeli fighter. I'm glad if these companies are getting newer aircraft.

I use it when I need to move large files on usb between linux, win and macos since ntfs support on macos is such a nightmare.

No right on red is the default here in Hungary - I assumed it was the norm for much ( most? ) of Europe.

I used to run 5 wordpress sites on shared hosting. For a number of reasons I decided to move to a vps. It had basic resources but nothing special as I wasn't doing anything special. They were all very low traffic sites. But even with that, mariadb kept crashing due to running out of ram. As I was investigating what was going on I also started to realize the huge amount of traffic aimed at my sites just trying to compromise them. I took some steps to secure them but I still kept having issues.

I've transitioned all but one to static sites. Wordpress really didn't bring anything I needed that I don't get with Hugo. With my static sites I don't come close to the resource issues I had. Things are much more secure, there's nothing to "hack". My workflow is simple and I really like it. I edit my posts locally in Atom. I push changes to my git repository and then build the site and use rsync to push those changes to the host. It works great.

So that's the point for me. Much more resource efficient, more secure, gives me what I need without losing anything.

Another option I haven't used but I think could make sense in some situations is using wordpress as a static site generator.

In the linked post he states that the changes mystify him because there are alternatives. So if Google is following the plan you've laid out, they are not doing it well.
