Given the high percentage of the population in SA who has already had an infection, there's probably a significant chunk of people in finding 1 who also already had natural immunity. That's probably going to make it difficult to use these results to compare vaccine-based immunity to natural immunity, right?

I understand the convenience argument, but with current battery technology this would not be sustainable. All those batteries require rare earth materials and add more waste to our daily lives as they have limited lifespans.

Podman allows you to run containers without root privileges, in case you aren't aware. But maybe you mean something else?

While censorship is certainly a real thing that happens, many of your examples seem to fall on the side of "History is written by the winners." Selective omission and censorship are not exactly the same thing (although the result can certainly be the same).

Anyone have a ELI5 version of the architecture of lockless buffer? I'm trying to wrap my head around how something like this can operate without locks and I just can't grock it.

For what it's worth, Alexa does ask for feedback about the accuracy and helpfulness of it's answers now.

The legacy of this one guy and his cult of personality is pretty amazing. I think this would make a fascinating Paul Thomas Anderson movie.

I've had this issue as well and found that it makes using an IDE almost mandatory for large code bases.

Liberal use of the word "lit" when describing the latest and greatest framework always works for me.

One reason to use containers over VMs is that building, updating and extending containers is far easier and more maintainable than full virtual machines.

Containers give you the ability to layer the pieces you need on top of each other, so you are only responsible for the parts that you maintain. No need to rebuild an entire VM image every time one piece of the stack is updated.

Distribution of containers is also far more efficient than full virtual machines (especially important in a highly distributed environment).

But doesn't this article specifically disprove that point? The author came from a non-fancy university and non-fancy internships. He prepared only using free or low cost materials (leetcode and books) and was able to meet the hiring bar.

To me this reads that the questions are intended to narrow the candidate pool down to people with an abundance of time to devote to studying, which is certainly one type of privilege, but is not necessarily the same as a wealthy background.

Are you thinking a traditional franchise (like a gym) or a platform that independent landlords can list their co-working spacaces on (i.e. Airbnb for coworking spaces)?

They both seem like less risky and more traditional tech plays than WeWork's current business model.

To be fair, Google released their own OTP hardware keys and have already 2FA login mandatory for accounts that they deem "high risk."

I don't think it's fair to blame them for the facts that most folks are not willing to give up passwords yet. Given that passwords are the current reality, shouldn't they do everything in their power to make them as secure as possible?

I think YouTube would argue that their actions were not based on the content of these channel's views, but because they violated their community guidelines.

Their response to why they banned Alex Jones, for instance, was that it wasn't because of the content of his views, but that he violated their cyberbullying guidelines multiple times (he received several strikes in the past).

Maybe I'm being naive, but their motivation doesn't appear to be censorship, but to make YouTube a less toxic place than it already is.

That's only the default. Terraform supports storing state remotely, with locking. Most folks I know who use Terraform at scale recommend using this feature (if they store state at all).

Bobby Tables strikes again!

> If I were the FCC, I’d be shutting down YouTube.

Why? I get why public access would have a mandate to allow people with unpopular (imo hateful) opinions on the air, but not YouTube.

I was under the impression, they're a private network and under no obligation to allow you to post content they don't like. They are free to change their ToS at anytime and ban who they choose, right?

Great post, really cleared up the value proposition of this project for me!

While reading the post I kept thinking "this would be a really cool project to present at RC." Then I saw the end :)

Cool project!

Same boat, I've tried alternatives but can't find anything I like as much as the plain old gnome terminal on my Linux box. The solution I keep coming back to simply installing an x server like vcxsrv on Windows and gnome terminal on WSL.

A few hoops to jump through, but it allows me to have an experience that's very close to native Linux. One less context switch my mind has to adapt to when switchibg between OSes.
