Comment Re:Migrate (Score 2) 48

QEMU is a system emulator and can be a core component of (and often is) a virtualization offering like Proxmox, RHEV, OpenStack, OpenShift, etc. but by itself is not suitable for replacing an entire stack of technologies, which is what VMWare vSphere is.

Broadcom is a shitty company but vSphere probably is the the most mature and feature-filled player in virtualization right now.

The issue is KVM requires work / knowledge to do this. vmware dumbed it down to a windows admin level. And of course the execs all went oooh shiny. Combining network / storage / vm into a single place simplified the ownership of vmware, which broadcom is abusing the customer base for.

as much as I don’t want to play blame the victim, it feels like we are missing part of this conversation. Hopefully there is a trial (sorry that this person needs to shoulder this) and we can see whether github used common sense and had cause or just went sjw knee jerk.

It just seems odd that the company used this as the final point. It sounds like they had “vaporizing” documented behavior, and it would be fascinating to see what constitutes cause for them.

I think the issue is the peers used to compare the success of lower decks. If you compare it against the modern entries (Picard and Discovery), then it shines as the only Star Trek (we can argue the fine points of how bad disco and Picard are) show.

But if you compare Lower Decks to TOS or the original cartoon, the silly jokes and quickness to “sight gag” are brought to the surface.

I loved lower decks, but I can also acknowledge that it’s elevated by the absolute trash that CBS/Paramount is slapping the Star Trek label on currently.

While this is good in the sense of standardization, there is going to be a huge drop in the competency of pilots as a result. Both from the corporate push to use anything with a heartbeat, and the loss of hours from staff reduction.

So the scenario where a meat sack overrides and saves the day will not happen because all of the trained pilots are literate monkeys pressing buttons.

Remember programing and proof require the same type of thinking.

And this is where I think something is amiss here. Coding skills at the high school level are rudimentary at best. More time should be spent on the fundamentals, like what is a computer and how does it work. There are things that you need to know before coding skills are needed. It’s one of the reasons that dev ops fails so hard. You have a bunch of developers reinventing things that are already solved and causing all kinds of confusion. Things like Unix fundamentals, windows fundamentals, how to build a pc are more important at a HS level than compiler optimizations.

Maybe at a college level, but not at a HS level. Some of the higher level problems would delve deep into the math world, but early level CS does not lend itself to learning the math needed to be classified as a math course. I see basic math skills being a pre-requisite, otherwise you would draw focus from essential CS skills. Of course, that assumes that these courses teach CS skills.

Comment This is why Tesla will fail (Score 1) 144

There are certain “service levels” that are just not easily fixed with technology. I was in the market for an X, but between the ipad interface and all the “power” accessories it was very off putting. If you could rip the drivetrain out and put it in a real car, it would be a much more compelling product.

Not sure what the statute of limitations are, but 5 years sounds about right. And I’m not saying it is just Hillary, it’s that she is “patient 0” and we need to set a precedent that is more severe then “meh.” It would stop or at least pause morons like the Trump family.

Except she didn’t. She consistently lied, and when she finally did disclose, she choose what disclose and what to hide.

Oh, and she did third even though she signed documents saying the opposite.

Ivanka and Jared may be pulling the same BS, but one could argue that they are not official employees.
