I’m both experienced and know jack shit because there is just too much to learn. I just started using it (1998ish) to make cool looking UIs. Its been my daily driver for 15 years now.

You will never learn it all. Over time you may become more familiar with the terminal or you may not. Doesn’t matter. You do you.

Its pretty easy to test drive. Grab a distros “Live CD” version, put in on a thumb drive, reboot and play around. This wont be persistent. When you’re ready, install it on an external SSD. Play around some more now that your edits will be persistent. You’ll mess up. Take notes. Start again once you’ve hosed your system.

I’ve been screaming its just wage theft. My city provides tax breaks for occupancy (employees prop up the local economy buying lunch). They are making me pay for gas, time, and car maintenance (and lunch but fuck them, I’ll just not eat) for this tax break which goes to C-level bonuses/shareholders. Its just another way of skimming off the top of employee wages.

We worked fully remote for nearly 2 years and the hybrid policy just keeps getting worse and worse. Coupled with quarterly riffs, I also suspect this is to avoid severance pay/unemployment while accelerating the down sizing. Yet our CEO bonus keeps going up and up despite our stock plummeting since the end of COVID lock downs.

Don’t Look Up!

I don’t know about Nvidia specifically, but I mostly only see RSUs offered to Staff/Principal level engineers or Director and above on the management track. Many times with a multi year vestment period to act as a retention tool. You can make out good at the exiting end of the deal.

IMHO its a shitty practice. There is risk if the C-level pulls some stupid shit tanking the stock. The reward could just as easily be distributed to employees with a profit sharing bonus that eliminates the risk of my options tanking while vesting. Let the employees convert to options if they want to stake on future company performance.

At least in the US, I could have used the value of my options earlier in life to help with student loans, buying a house, medical issues, having kids, etc. I grew up poor. I “pulled myself up from bootstraps” and am doing well now. I still think the whole system is a dumb gimmick.

Might work like the book one where there is a known word and unknown word. You only have to guess the known one. The rest of the choices are used as training data for the unknowns.

We do not know who else may be watching.

“High five” instead of “paw” for two dogs which wasn’t the accident. The accident is they learned to associate high five with wanting something. When they want pets, food, bones, or toys they obsessively high five at you.

My cat does it now too. Maybe they learned it from the cat who saw they got treats for high fives. My wife hates it. I think its hilarious.

I thought it shared the same chip as the switch. Maybe with the switch 2 a replacement will emerge.

Not op but I’ve moved on to nixos, or I use nix for managing the home folder on Ubuntu / Darwin machines.

Disclaimer: I’m a software dev not a sys admin, though I manage a number of machines for dev and home lab stuff.

After the high learning curve, its so much easier keeping my systems in sync.

Super easy to rollback on a bad upgrade.

With UBI, its assumed to be part of a surplus economy is my understanding? Use some of the remaining surplus to pay workers who want a marginally improved quality of life (no billionaires to limit wealth hoarding).

Offer child care to those who wish to have a career, maintain a community garden, teach part time, etc.

Optionally or additionally, provide enough funding to allow for passion projects.

Fund open projects for those who want to work together to push the limits of humanity.

If I didn’t have to slog and worry about keeping a roof over my family’s head and food on the table, I’d be dedicating all my spare time to space exploration instead of making APIs for some company.

Overly simple and likely impossible to implement, but there are ways to enable finding a purpose outside of art and culture.

Just use rclone. Its bidirectional sync is kinda meh last I tested it, so I do manual syncs in each direction. Otherwise its awesome. Can even encrypt your stuff with your own key.

Supports a bunch of backends. There is an androind client called Round Sync with cron-like scheduling to keep my phone backed up.

Grew up in a religious household with 8 years of private school operated by a religious institution in the states.

Never really believed and went full atheist around 13 years old.

Good feelings about something not on the bad list (usually something sexual) they take as a message from god. In other words, if they want something that benefits them, those feelings are used to justify their shit behavior because its some divine touch making them feel that way.

At least that’s been my experience. I wouldn’t trust them either.

Plus DNS caching… I do DOT or DOH (forget which, setup years ago) from my router’s local DNS server without any noticeable latency.

Roughly 4 out of 5 companies I’ve seen that have received investments in my industry in the past 5 years have been Israel R&D startup companies.

Not my wheel house, but if I had to guess, the ruling class in the states has a lot of investments tied up in Israel.

Take with a grain of salt, as this is just an anecdotal observation.

That’s a rite of passage for anyone working on Cisco’s shit TUI. At least its gotten better with some of the newer stuff. IOS-XR supported commits and diffing.

Agree. What I linked provides core type support for that library. The pipe one is just a bunch of overloads to support a specific way of handling function composition to appease the TypeScript type checker.

There are a lot of typing hacks in that library to simulate higher kinded types.

Not OP, and these examples are not unreadable, but they are a few steps up from your typical generics.

You pay for what you use. I have somewhere around 120-140GB and get a bill every 2 months. I think it has to be near a dollar you owe for them to invoice.

Be mindful of the class A/B/C transactions at the bottom of the page with pricing. I paid about $0.60 when I first set everything up in Class C transactions. I haven’t gone over the free 2500 or whatever they give you since.

I don’t use it quite like Dropbox with a watch daemon. I have an encrypted local back up I mount with rclone, do my work, then use rclone again to sync to b2 when I unmount it.

I wouldn’t use to version control some project I’m working on where files change frequently. Those transactions would probably kill the cost savings at some point.

For android there is RoundSync. It automatically backs up folders of your choice on a schedule. Not on any app store. It must be installed by downloading the apk from GitHub.

There is also Cryptomator as an alternative. I used it for years without issue, but prefer rclone for more control over my work stream. Think I paid a one time license of $10 for desktop and another $10 for mobile.

Dropbox is only a good deal if you use near peak storage and/or do a lot of data transfers.

I was paying $120/yr for 2TB. Now I’m on B2 Backblaze. On paper Dropbox was cheaper per GB, but with my usage pattern I’m paying like $1.00 every other month.
