TBH if the government didn't implements these racial policies, I think Malaysia will be worst off - it will stuck in a civil war between the races like many other countries.
But I do think many of those policies are no longer needed - many of the Malays are more educated and smarter compared to 50 years ago. Right now those policies likely doing more harm than good - driving brain-drain and limiting economy growth, but any government try to remove those policies is just suicidal.
The reason you find it odd is because you really can't find another country that the citizen have such a high trust towards the government and let the government do (almost) anything they wanted, yet the government doesn't abuse this power (mostly, at least) and continue focus on long term benefits of the country (rather than short term gains because the political party need to survive the next election in few years time)
> One of the most militarized countries (#3 by military spending per capita) in the world, yet their military has barely been used.
Ther reason is quite simple: Singapore is a very small country and it is very easily to be invaded. The high military spending is more of a deterent.
> What would you even call their socioeconomic system?
It is very much a free market capitalism with some state intervention, similar to many other countries. If anything, I would say Singapore is more free market than many western countries due to the fact that the government is very pro-business as the country is heavily rely on foreign businesses to survive.
It is mindblowing how AMD managed to squeeze such a powerful iGPU (essentially a low-end dGPU) into an APU while much more energy efficient compared to a dGPU (and thus requires less heat sink = more compact).
Of course the major problem about Strix Halo is the price. I'm just wondering how much the iGPU contributed to the insane price tag compared to the NPU. If AMD can release a similar APU without the useless NPU (at least in Linux) with a more accessible pricing (e.g. 8745HS), they can easily dominate the low-end mobile dGPU market.
I understood an open source project need revenue to survive, but the reason why this project grew so large is because of the self-hostable nature, and the push of the cloud offering is the opposite of that.
I really hope this is not the first steps towards enshittification...
Thanks for the link, seems like the loophole is already there since the introduction of the package visibility restriction, and almost everyone and their mother knows how to bypass this restriction.
> Google refuses to patch this
While I don't believe Google engineers are not aware of this widely used loophole, do you have any source that they refused to fix it?
VWRA (all world UCITS) probably the more famous one charging 0.22%, while the closest corresponding US ETF VT (total world) is just 0.06% (dropped from 0.07%)
Basically, they have different use cases. Docker is designed to run a single application with immutable volume, while LXD is designed to run a (mutable) OS, like a VM. Sure, you can use Docker run an OS, but it is not designed for that.
Imagine you need to install an application that will install/persist some files to /etc, some files to /var, some files to /bin... etc. In Docker, you will need to install that application during build time, specify volume path, specify the ENTRYPOINT to the application and use the resulting image to run it. In LXD, you can exec into the container and install it, setup systemd service to run it on startup - exactly like what you would do in a VM.
Even non-free tier burstable VM is super cheap. For example, a VM.Standard.E4.Flex (AMD x86) with 1 OCPU (2 vCPU) and 4GB RAM with burstable baseline 50% is just ~$13.05/month (($0.025*50% + 4*$0.0015)*730hr). With baseline 12.5% it is just ~$6.66/month.
In comparison, AWS t3a.medium (2vCPU, 4GB RAM, burstable baseline 20%) will cost ~$27.45/month ($0.0376*730hr). DigitalOcean's 2vCPU 4GB Droplet will cost $24/month.
