Most distros have same packages, written by other people not even related to distributions.
But for some reason the rest of the Linux user community is forced to deal with different package names, different package managers, missing or incompatible packages, jank on jank inside of a jank 2 miles outside of jank central - its just offensive to the user. A total disregard for _my_ personal time when I just want to get shit done and have to deal with troubleshooting the freeware shit others put out without regard for the craftsmanship.
Correlation is not causation. Majority of paid internships prefer students from top-ranked universities, while unpaid internships take community/city/state college kids who won't get paid as much even after they graduate with a degree.
A company nobody ever heard of that has no technical capabilities or funding wants to capture the market nobody can afford to pay for, which requires a company nobody respects to approve something nobody can enforce. News at 11
Well hate to break it to you but there is a provision in that toilet paper of a Constitution about 'due process' - and by signing a legal document you agree to be deprived, vis-a-vis to your right to be deprived of liberty and yada yada, to not compete or pursue such happiness - as part of your employment contract.
Now if your employer sued you after you've left for the competitor without you having signed NDA/Non-Competent, then yes, you can try citing a constitution or 13th amendment as your reasons, but if you've signed paperwork that stipulates that you will not try to harm your current employer by leaving for their competitor, that becomes part of the requirements to get hired and to remain hired with the company.
I don't think I would be getting another MBP or iMac.
For a company with a quarter of a trillion in assets to offer their users 16GB MBPs, shitty Radeons, and no 10nm CPUs (sure, blame Intel on your supply management issues), is just beyond acceptable level for me. And the price markup is just insulting, its like I'm being trolled by mediocracy.
It was not working perfectly at all - there was a single point of failure, poor design with no redundancy responsible for critical infrastructure, clearly approved by senior management.
So no, it wasn't a contractor responsible for the outage. It was the CEO who did not ensure there was redundancies in place on critical infrastructure, business continuity was not tested and disaster recovery was not a thing.
Its like saying 'paying salaries is a liability to the company' - its the cost of doing business, and in many high-tech companies its part of branding and marketing in order to attract and retain new talent. It is the operational expense that also happens to be a long-term investment that pays hidden dividends.
Without those benefits you are either:
1. Some old school MBA dinosaur operating a sweatshop company in red oceans 2. A bad leader who has made poor choices that lead to the financial crunch 3. A good leader who is inexperienced and/or underfunded, usually in startup
It takes time and experience to understand these ebbs and flows and do sensitivity analysis on 'doing X'. Simply applying theory X to people and viewing 'time off' as a 'liability' misses the whole point of what a 'company' is - it is a group of conscious neural networks capable of discovering and developing new avenues for growth, and leaders who don't make the connection deserve neither admiration nor sympathy for their downfall.
Ironically this mansplaining session you've been blessed with was made possible on my time off.
It is not a liability, and you are either: 1. purposely being dense about the meaning of the word liability and using a straw man argument to apply it 2. don't understand what it means and how it relates to business 3. being sarcastic about the meaning of the word 4. drinking the koolaid and echoing what someone else said who is either one of those 3 things above
In either case, please try again, and next time try to make sense.
Containers are run on most production systems, including microservices. If your infrastructure runs docker/mesos/kubernetes, chances are you are either using Debian, Ubuntu, or some really tiny distribution like Alpine or CoreOS.
Just looking at the pictures ( https://www.theguardian.com/en... ) of the vault itself its apparent these people have no idea what they are doing:
1. The plastic boxes are not waterproof in the event of a flood the entire supply will be compromised 2. There are no cages in place to keep the plastic containers from falling off the shelves in the event of an earthquake or flood, and compromising their integrity 3. The ground floor is permafrost - not actual concrete or any sort of reinforced material, so any lifeform that is capable of digging can penetrate this 'vault'
Scala is great for scripting, iterating, researching, and playing around with various concepts. The downside is that its not binary compatible between major versions. There are some stability issues in production as well, some exciting rabbit holes of error stacks.
Java is like herpes. Its everywhere and is not likely to ever be gone completely. It is also rock-solid stable in production. The biggest cost is that you have to write it in Java. If only it was like scripting in Python, then this would be a great language. Incidentally Jython is not great for other reasons, but thats neither here nor there.
This would not be a popular opinion, but it is mine and I will share it with you.
I would personally start with a language like Scala.
If you are going to learn one language, this language is well worth the effort of learning.
There will be other languages like Go, Swift, Perl, Elixir, Nims, Rust, Ruby that people will suggest, and they are all good choices, but ultimately not as a complete of a choice as Scala - stick with JVM, and stick with strong typing, it will save you a lot of headaches down the road.
If you cant stomach Scala, then settle for Python. It will get you far and wide, and you will be able to get shit done quick and almost as good as with Scala, but you'll need some additional tools once you reach that summit, and realize that Scala is a whole different mountain that you should've been climbing all along.
Good luck, have fun, and dont listen to the haters.
Use of CPUs from cloud-based providers is not as efficient for computations as using multiple GPUs linked together on a custom built setup. Using hypervisors instead of barebones for computational work further reduces efficiency by another 10-15%. This is a waste of money, and poorly done systems analysis.
Although an excellent question, this has always been counter-intuitive about Manhattan.
Technically its a worthless piece of land and yet everyone flocks here and keeps pimping up the prices.
This Datacenter would not be going out of business anytime soon, and neither properties that charge $200/sq. ft. The reason is quite simple - proximity to other tech companies makes it a favorable location, and if you don't have to travel through Lincoln or Holland tunnel, then you don't have to waste an hour in traffic. As a CTO/ IT Manager you will likely chose a location that is within minutes of your office or place of residence. Time savings for you will translate into customers offsetting this cost for a faster service and bragging rights. Who wants to see 'our datacenter is in New Jersey'?
An encrypted filesystem with block striped volumes across multiple different providers would be a pretty good protection. Even if they had your key, they only had a partial block of data which is impossible to reconstruct without all of the blocks.
And the 10x the cost is worth every penny. Cisco and Juniper routers and switches are the backbone of many serious enterprises. Serious about security and performance. I don't know of any Chinese product that is worth spending money on.
One of these companies that supposedly promises to launch your 1U CubeSat is charging $125k for 1kg 1U CubeSat, with a 2 year delivery date. And that is to low earth orbit. Price goes up to $250k for geosync orbit, and $490k to gso/low lunar orbit, whatever that means. Meanwhile, back on Earth, actual prices to launch 1kg of mass into space are $10k with most rockets, or $5k with SpaceX. So this article, as well as Wiki entry are essentially advertisement for a crappy, slow product, that costs 25x-100x more than what the actual price is. And people wonder why we haven't gotten to Mars yet.
This is not new 'science' that was just discovered. It has been known and taught in Childhood Psychology classes for decades. It is always amazing how these psychology professors venture out into studying a little bit of mathematics and statistics and decide to publish papers on the obvious, padding their resumes and shuffling papers around. You never hear about something really new and groundbreaking from University of Western Ontario, and this is not an exception.

The world doesn't need another Linux distro. We already have Ubuntu/Debian and Fedora/CentOS.
What we really need is unification, optimization, and a smoothly UI/UX.
Someone needs to EOL Gentoo, Arch, Mandriva, Slackware, Suse et al who keep clogging up search results and waste bandwidth with their shit distros.
