I hadn’t heard of it til the odd confluence of seeing Prysner’s name on QAA. His own podcast eyes left covers her recent bio.

I hadn’t heard of it til the odd confluence of seeing Prysner’s name on QAA. His own podcast eyes left covers her recent bio.
There’s some evidence she’s a cult member, and was posturing as some kind of Manchurian candidate.
No, really.
Mike Prysner has made a few decent podcasts (QAA, eyes left) following her political career and service. I don’t think you can definitionally tie her to membership, but she’s got some questionable associations.
Cisco has been clueless for awhile. The people who want speed don’t trust them to do basic network stacks, they want to do something more complicated?
The HFT industry noticed Cisco was messing with routing stacks, and you can essentially look to the entire market cap of Arista as a direct result. Specifically people wanting to avoid the headaches of the nexus line (EOS is nice!).
They are the victims of their own success to the point they long ago cannibalized actual product innovation. A lot of the industry still wants their certs, but nobody I know who values speed (local stripped back switches) or stability/availability (AWS and minimal office equipment) would chose them for much. A lot of the purchases are from big players with long contracts, the “Nobody got fired for IBM” of network equipment.
This just screams moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
For the most part what kind of company you are is what kind of product you’re selling or making money off of.
So you could contend that Tesla is a battery company or a car company feasibly. Nobody ahead of the AI bubble would have mentioned Tesla and artificial intelligence in the same category.
Besides, if it’s what he makes money selling Tesla is a tax credit company.
I think it’s grossly undersold personally. What valve has managed is getting the single target platform open source could never agree on.
It’s a small miracle, and it bleeds over into stuff like device driver support in a way I don’t think most people who didn’t deal with Linux in the 2.x era immediately appreciate.
If Linux on the desktop has a surge, they did a lot of the legwork.
If you dive into the theory at all about how ranked choice systems are gamed I think everyone is doomed for a headache.
Don’t feel bad, it’s infinitely better than what we have broadly, but it demands a lot more of the average voter if you’re not voting a party ticket. If you’re struggling you’re doing it right.
From a macro economic perspective, (and im not advocating for a conspiracy, just aggregate business interest) they’re dropping energy usage so they can pay less on their electricity bills.
So actually a double fu. get less so they can pay less rent, to provide lesser service.
Because rent seeking is the only tech bubble left.
I didn’t mean to imply they’d roll in buggy packages, by virtue of release; just that Fedora’s function is typically regression testing for the money making product.
The testing is for the much more marketable enterprise window.
Generally Fedora’s purpose is to make sure nothing gets into redhat (RHEL) Linux. So if there are breaking changes to things, you’ll be getting them.
Historically if people had wanted to learn I’d push them towards Ubuntu because its Debian based, meaning familiar enough to most of what runs the modern internet that I could eventually (I’m not a Linux admin) fix.
These days if you just want to use it I’d pick Linux mint, just since they seem to be orienting towards that way. Arch or SUSE based something if you want to learn more about how the packages you install work together. But the choice in distro honestly feels more like an installer and package manager choice than anything. a distro is just a choice of which thousand things to hide in a trenchcoat.
I just ideologically don’t like IBM and would rather hand in my bug reports to the volunteer ecosystem.
This is my one of my favorites for exactly this reason. Agreed, other than the triumph of what little humanity Ted has at the end there’s not much in the story.
But despite being a famous asshole it always seemed Ellison loved this story, right down to actually re writing a happy end to the “I have no mouth…” adventure game in the early 90s.
Speculation on my part, but I always thought for a famous pessimist he thought his warning might make a difference, which is its own kind of hopeful.
Christofacism. Really you can look at the Westboro baptist church for how emphasis on their duty to a fallen society over gods love looks.
If it makes it into a congregation the reasonable people leave, and the rest radicalize further.
Even if you’re right, those organizations still have to be dragged kicking and screaming to do the right thing.
It’s not a quick solution, but the answer is more education about the space, so that there are more voices.
The classic is a wizard of earthsea/left hand of darkness and they are always worth repeating. If you do just two, those are them. It’s almost criminal how these are kinda slipping beneath view these days.
I got a steady diet of her short stories and children’s books growing up. I remember sur specifically, but generally they were less fantasy oriented from what I can remember. (Edit:huzzah autocorrect)
The adage if youre looking to split hairs and divide your Methodists is the united Methodists were always more free and the free Methodists more united.
Its a broad tent, most of which didn’t directly mean evangelical when I grew up, but there’s still free Methodists that don’t believe in dancing.
Openly serving gay and lesbian clergy was the hot gossip 20 years ago, it’s been a slow move but they got there.
I ended up on a first gen dell developer xps and didn’t win the Intel nic lottery. Dell’s Ubuntu repo bricked my laptop a dozen times til I moved to arch, which actually had the decency to include the broadcom driver.
The hardware is alright, but the total lack of effort in maintaining has been from the jump.
+1 here for the arch recommendation as an ex ms sys op. Browsing their repos was outstanding for retooling, most of the config problems you hit are a great way into the ecosystem.
It’s crazy how far this extends. I have fewer problems on my 5k atom series laptop GPU/CPU after fooling with a few of the settings than with an nvidia 2k card.
No issues with either full Intel or amd stacks a decade old.
Tldr and tealdeer in the arch repo are both helpful, but Ill do you one better since someone already beat me to it. I found fish shell’s tab completion with either tool to be immensely helpful if you’re not trying to stay stock standard. But if you’re working on a lot of remote machines you don’t own stick with bash/zsh.
There’s some easy to find fuzzy search and linting for for history plugins that mean if you found it once you can do it again in whichever shell.
Its mostly familiarity, but i don’t think I could function without fzf.
I’ve kind of come and gone full circle on this one. It fits in the same space as the terminal, way more useful when you know what you want.
Some config files are a lot easier to get the behavior I want, but editing a poorly formatted (or in some some cases pointlessly complicated) config is a quick nope out.
Too many options to learn a new language.
So, most of the knowledge of what levers are exploited is going to come out of industry. I don’t expect him to know a common persons problems, but he might know how to help.
When Obama was nominated I pretty instantly had my pulse raised over Tom Wheeler (FCC) and Tim Geitner (treasury), only to find myself surprised by Tom. His pick Jessica Rosenworcel is probably the best thing in my lifetime, and common carrier laws have only really held because he’s been ready to stick it to Comcast.
Geitner should be behind bars.
It really depends, and a lot of what’s on record from their time in industry is the company line. it’s kind of counter intuitive, but things like ‘pork’ in bills in congress get cooperation because they can seek new organizations of power.
Divide and conquer works on the powerful too.
