It seems odd to me to call this "open source" when I can't find a statement of license or copyright on the site (maybe I missed it?). I would expect something like a Creative Commons license to make it clear what can be reuse

I think this article conflates Management by Metrics and intense focus on short terms results. Management by Metrics is just as compatible with a long term focus or goal. Now on the issue of people gaming metrics, that is a real concern and

I agree that the majority of distros are based on debian/ubuntu/fedora but there are still some significantly different ones out there. The most interesting/useful of these for me lately has been void linux[0]. It is based ar

Are you aware there is little to no evidence to support so-called learning styles[0]? While it is true that some people may have a preference for a one modality over another, there is no indication that anyone learns more or better when tau

I find startpage.com to give a lot better results than DDG. I never seem to hear about others using it. Is it just not well known?

> No you don't, you can run various distros in docker containers. We're using a mix... I think you are missing the point. For each distro base you introduce via docker you must track and update the security releases. Standardiz

I used to work for a big tech company and the vast majority of people there signed all email by default and encrypted them when the content was sensitive. Part of onboarding was a training session on how all this works. Now I work for a non

While the Orange Pi 3 may have driver issues, the older models work quite well. Just as you suspect, I'm using an Orange Pi One combined with a usb arcade board/stick to run RetroOrangePi[0] and for game emulation it works great.

Not really, but it probably comes down to how you define terms. If you are considering ARPANET to be "the internet" then you are correct. However, one can argue that ARPANET was just a single isolated network and not really "
