That skill proved useful in his later career.

That's my opinion too.

Unfortunately, after a certain amount of actual progress we are now regressing again.

Yeah, we have a long history of not practicing what we preach.

Remember when the USA took pride in being a melting pot?

you are the one thinking it wrong. not everyone needs to deploy their vm under an elastic load balancer that automatically replaces their instances on an autoscaling group if they go down, and on top of that, do immediate failover to a different DR region.

heck, not even AWS does that. there use cases for both. everyone that went down past monday didn't have all of what i mentioned above. why? it's not easy, quick and cheap to have all of that. there's room on the cloud for all use cases.

well, the source is out there, so if the community really cares, they can rewrite it to be a native client with distro based dependencies so a snap is not needed

sometimes a snap makes sense because then it can be reused on more distros

I do like HEB but their locations in DFW are far too few and all of their locations are chaotic. I would rather get a Joe V which they only have 2 around the area.

so in the meantime i go to a walmart neighborhood market which i have 2 just 2 miles away. i wouldn't go that far to pay $100 a year just to avoid me going to the store. i don't want people choosing produce, meat and fruit for me

virtualbox is good but irrelevant to this conversation as it's not used in the enterprise so vmware doesn't care about it.

why spend resources on this? just grab one or two well established desktop distros, and ensure your packages work as good as possible. leave the distro itself up to the distro teams.

for good or worse, this means ubuntu. i have used arch before and i really like it, but it's not meant to be for the average user (if there's such a thing with linux)

i can't disable IPv6 on the google tv (huge android limitation). and i don't want to disable it on the router for every device, which means that the home screen can still easily get ads. switched to a different launcher and at least that's done. of course, can't get rid of freetime / prime / hulu ads

i have a hybrid. gets me around 450 miles. decent, although i should really be getting at least 500.

it was probably 15K more expensive compared to a equivalent gas only car, which is the thing i regret the most.

i will switch to electric once they increase the range to 500 miles and the company proves the cost of the electricity AND installing the charger is less than the gas cost.

football is the name of the game. every single country except one calls it football.

what you call football is what every single country except one calls it american football.

First they came for Boeing, and I didn't say anything because I wasn't all fucked up.

Got to be pretty unconventional to count as unconventional in QM.

Being a hippie never goes out of style.
