Having dealt with in the past RHEL 6 to 7 is supported but only for the server edition: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/637583 . At a certain point I'm not sure what Debian does so much better, but that's

Yes, most engineering applications end up doing all sorts of simulation that can be summed up as 'run as much math as fast as possible.' There's just routing traces on a PCB, there can be heat or stress simulations on a part

You forget the interactive nature of WYSIWYG editors- if you have tooling enough to throw together a UI in front of a group of people as part of requirements gathering and just 'do you like how this looks' it can be very powerful-

I don't know of any part of Amazon that lets you just ship a container full of copper bars to your loading dock. They are more competing with other bulk shippers than what Amazon would be trying to provide.

I agree with this as a principal. There was even some good commentary a while ago when an article about all the money flowing into Vanguard https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14145308 . A market with no active players defe

In recent times pretty much all the DRM vehicles have been canned as native code browser extensions have become 'bad' for malicious code. So the DRM delivery mechanisms like java plugins, flash and so on are being taken out of the

There are a lot of patreon people that don't have a strong youtube presence, and a lot of that content ends up being cross hosted by youtube. You have people that are working with a pre-payout budget of a few thousand a month- it'

No information in the video, it sounds like a standard policy. You can't withdraw that much cash at a time because it's likely the bank doesn't have that much cash on hand to give out. They can order the cash for you, but the

$250k gross income is not a lot of money to factor in a personal employee. Even with extensive finangling you're probably paying 35% tax on that. So that's 162,500 net. Split that into 12 months. 13,541 a month. Giving a reasonabl

Why would Beatrice in that case? She's not making that much and a recurring thing in that article is it is a mix of high paying work and old money. People are really weird about money (which is kind of the theme of this article). Direc

Yeah this is not a common denomination. I never saw any of these in the 5 college areas. It just looks like the common chamber of commerce local business promotion scheme than anything too serious.

At a certain point you have to crunch, but you should take notes but also share your notes. Present lists of questions from the notes you took last time and show off the fact you are trying to catch up. The most frustrating thing to a lot o

I use a similar criteria for programmers/developers, if you have sound fundamentals in troubleshooting and working through a (technical) problem on your own you are more useful than someone who after hiring lacks those skills. The lear

There's quite a few multinationals that have underseas cables as part of their network infrastructure (think finance). It's sometimes worth the expense just to lay cable then tunnel through the public internet for peace of mind. O

It is also a weird symbiotic relationship- most channels seem to only have interest in making one video for a game so you really only have to polish the first 5 hours of gameplay into something video-worthy. The game-to-completion train has

Yes, if you don't believe in the mission or at least think it is a good idea you aren't going to do well there as some place where you do. It's a lot easier to do that much more even in a 9-5 role when you don't have to

If you think of the people that would naturally look to C# there are a lot of reasons why you might have an existing C++ codebase and migrate to a C#/C++ codebase. It's relatively straightforward to link the two languages where do

What is frustrating in this one as well is that sidestepping the regulations is putting the 'gig contractor/employee/worker' in tremendous risk without giving formal training. I love the fact that their site lists them a

I don't really feel like this is a fair statement if you have done any game engine related development. Even 'writing from scratch' is still gluing together a whole soup of libraries and many of those libraries are C API only

Can you better describe what kind of hoops you are talking about in your case, or at least what industry? Other than ordinary incorporation (easy) and a few industry specific licensing requirements I have never felt that to be my limiters i

This doesn't stop lobbyists and special interests from moving the goalposts for how much a thing is worth or whether a new procedure should be covered. It does solve a medical office having to hire X administrators to cover his own hea

I find it almost required to try and jolt these people out of it if they move between organizations. There is definitely a value to procedure but it often comes up that the underlying assumptions have moved as well. You have to encourage pe

Part of me wonders if the stickiness of this more has to do with the fact that both cassettes and CD's are not successful mediums right now. It quickly becomes a least common denominator- vinyl still works the same. I feel I get simila

Can Google stop making these backwards layout changes? The old version is key logical headlines and related articles from multiple sources which was actually pretty nice as an aggregator. Now there is only one related article instead of 3.

I think that's the main thing that is different than my normal relationship with a newspaper. If I see an article that catches my fancy I buy that newspaper, if I don't I don't buy it (or the 'Sunday version'). Whil

Another Knuth-related one that is less programming that I found rewarding to read was 'Concrete Mathematics.' It is per its own description a lengthier version of the TAOCP, but it's mostly or entirely exempt of actual code.

I'm glad I got to see this as I worked through Operation Overflight (book of Francis Gary Powers) as a kid but never followed up on the technical details and development. I started with the ending instead of the beginning!
