One big thing RHEL has going for it is that it has a DISA STIG, which Ubuntu/Debian/other distros lack, so it's firmly cemented as the distro of choice for some DoD networks. Otherwise I think Ubuntu and its plethora of spinoffs seem to be taking the lead.
As the other commenters said, my Moto G Power has one, and you use the earbud cord as the antenna. It's super useful when storms knock out communication towers in our area because I can still get the local weather and news over FM.
Not sure if it's just StackOverflow or the whole of StackExchange. I used to be active in another StackExchange subject site and it was incredibly toxic (and I say this as someone who is generally open to letting people speak their mind in any fashion they see fit). I was advocating that we let low quality questions get answered and remain, while providing feedback on how to ask better questions, and eventually (hopefully) raising the quality overall for all users of the site regardless of their experience level. You might have thought I'd suggested child sacrifice with the toxic responses I received for suggesting this. Net result -- I left the site altogether never to return, and found that Reddit was much more open to my idea of nurturing "newbies" rather than squashing them.
I agree. There's a big difference in being lonely and being alone. There's also a big difference between isolation and loneliness. You can be isolated but not lonely, and likewise you can be lonely and surrounded by folks.
The other facet here is that it's easier to choose loneliness than isolation, though it's less likely to be chosen directly. I feel like it's chosen indirectly by choosing avoidance of vulnerability. Vulnerability is the price you pay and risk you take to ameliorate loneliness.
Hardly anyone can fully become isolated. You have to work to live, and so by default you are forcefully un-isolated. Loneliness however can come about by avoiding being vulnerable with others. Men seem to be particularly susceptible to this avenue to loneliness.
Nana used to tell people "my grandson is a rocket scientist" lol. I work on ARINC653 OSes, which do sometimes go into rockets, but mostly just aircraft.
Oooff.. these are hard-hitting stories for me. I can relate similar anecdotal evidence though; my parents called just today to vent about the cost of a carton of eggs at the discount grocer. We've not noticed it too much yet, save the cost of some meats locally. I expect it will catch up here when it's not our growing season.
Zapier is really awesome for the non-tech crowd. I think this space is only going to continue to grow. I decided to build https://atlasconnex.com for developers who need more fine-grained control, but don't want to stand up their own infrastructure. The project is recently launched, so the number of connectors is growing rapidly. One my favorite (again, I'm the developer!) connectors is the "build your own" connector. You define a Python function and declare a period for it to run (once/min up to once/24hrs) and then you can do basically whatever you need inside that function. So if you need to poll an API endpoint, or pull a file from an SFTP server etc., you can create events based on that data that are then processed through transformers and filters and then delivered to their final destination.
Moved a SaaS tool from Linode to DigitalOcean. Reason for the move was security driven. DO's K8S volumes are LUKS encrypted at rest by default; one less thing in your security controls to worry about. Prices are higher than Linode's, and have had some reliability issues occasionally with the LoadBalancer, but for the most part it works really well.
The SaaS tool was mostly cloud-agnostic, so the changeover was not terrible. Changing the deployments to use DO's CSI storage, setup secrets, deploy services. I stood up the entire infra on DO, then moved the DNS over one subdomain at a time.Took about 4 days to make the move, including validating everything, and finally cutting off Linode totally.
Agreed here. I do this type work for a career, and if you need safety critical + real time (which really just means known and bounded time) guarantees, anything with an ME type device that can usurp the cores is generally a no go. Especially if the source for the firmware for said ME is not accessible.
I find this really interesting, and definitely sad. I wonder if it's because as people become more educated, they understand (or at least perceive) that their individual life is insignificant when contrasted against the great big universe of things and beings, and this results in deep and profound unhappiness.
I'm relieved to know I'm not the only one who did this kind of thing as a child. For me it was "archive" which I was pronouncing "ar-chiff" as opposed to "ar-kive". Took a while to break that habit.
I'm in your camp on this one. The new features are neat, but MIDI 1.0 being stupid-simple is its killer feature to me. Plus everything from the last 30yrs supporting it is a big plus. I love that I can take my 1980s SuperJX and fit it right into my setup with brand new stuff, and a brand new DAW, and everything just works.
I stood one of these up last year to play around with it. It works flawlessly but the Android app destroyed my battery life. If that has gotten better, it's probably a fantastic solution for DIY real-time push.
