At my workplace, we use it for East-West traffic, especially the central Identity, Authentication and Authorization service which every other service needs to access, and it works great for that use case (Since it allows the downstream services to fetch information however they like). REST can do that too, but it will be cumbersome to say the least. Although GraphQL performance has come under scrutiny lately.

Wait, I thought gravity is not a "force" but the curvature of spacetime, so at some point the curvature gotta end or be disturbed by some other source nearby, right? A star so far away is not exerting any "force" on me as I already have two massive objects Earth and Sun twisting the spacetime around me so much. I could however be getting some gravitational waves from that star but not sure how strong they'd be or if they reach me at all (again given Sun and Earth).

(NOTE: I'm an engineer not a physicist so my understanding could all be wrong)

Yes that's good advice. Thanks.

 

I'm interviewing for a software dev job currently (it's in the initial stages). If things work out, I'd absolutely prefer a work laptop with Linux installed (I personally use PopOS but any distro will do), a Mac will be second choice, but I absolutely cannot tolerate Windows, I abhor it, I hate it... (If all computers left on earth have Windows I'd either quit this field or just quit Earth).

Sometimes it's possible to tell if they use Windows or not, for example, jobs with dotnet/C# are most likely using windows, but not in my case.

Anyways, is it too weird to ask what kind of laptop they provide to their employees? And to also specifically ask for a Linux (or anything but windows) work laptop?

Wait, didn't Gazans have free elections in 2005/6 when they elected Hamass? So they are ruled by their own government they chose. Or are Hamass terrorists and usurpers? Then Israel is doing Palestinians a favor by getting rid of Hamass tyrants for them, right? Why did Egypt not declare Gaza a free Palestinian state last time it occupied it? Why did Jordan not do the same for West Bank?

If your great-great-great grandfather occupied my land am I allowed to rape your mother and sisters? You won't object too much if I also kill you first, right? After all I'm only resisting the occupation.

West Bank is ethnically cleansed, how much did their population drop, 50%? 75%?, 90%? Oh those poor people must be suffering so much why don't their billionaire and millionaire leaders who sit their asses in Qatar, Lebanon and Turkey do something for them? Why do they ask the poor to fight for them while they and their kids enjoy lives in 5 star hotels?

Israel traded hundreds of people for 1 soldier, they do care about their civilians that's why they are fighting a war against the most evil regime on earth currently (right after Iran, Syrian Assad and Hezbollah), but you don't reward hostage taking with negotiations because it will only encourage that behavior. Israel did it with Shalit, which encouraged Hamass to take even more hostages, knowing full well that that is Israel's weakness. This time, Hamass gets fucked in the ass for taking hostages so bad they're gonna squeel like a piggy, and don't ever think about taking hostages again.

I have been using PopOS for a while now (came installed with my S76 Lemp10), but now looking for a new distro (I want to try Linux Mint). I am looking for the easiest way to set up the new distro with most of my current applications installed.

My current plan on how to move my applications and settings:

  • Get dotfiles to external repo (I am using stow)
  • Use ansible-playbook to set up installation of all the apps I need
  • Try the ansible setup on a docker container to ensure it works
  • Then try the ansible setup on a PopOS VM to ensure things work
  • Modify the ansible setup to use Linux Mint package manager (synaptic I believe)
  • Then try the ansible setup on a Linux Mint VM
  • Once everything works, copy the data, install new distro and run ansible script on the new OS

Is above the correct way to go about this, or is there anything better or easier available?

Edit: Thanks everyone for responses. The general consensus seems to be that that above is overkill (although doable and works) and copying home folder & dotfiles and trying out the distro fresh is easier, and install software as needed. Or, try NixOS :)
