SUSE, the global leader in enterprise open source solutions, has announced a significant investment of over $10 million to fork the publicly available Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and develop a RHEL-compatible distribution that will be freely available without restrictions. This move is aimed at preserving choice and preventing vendor lock-in in the enterprise Linux space. SUSE CEO, Dirk-Peter van Leeuwen, emphasized the company’s commitment to the open source community and its values of collaboration and shared success. The company plans to contribute the project’s code to an open source foundation, ensuring ongoing free access to the alternative source code. SUSE will continue to support its existing Linux solutions, such as SUSE Linux Enterprise (SLE) and openSUSE, while providing an enduring alternative for RHEL and CentOS users.

A little insane, but in a good way.

someone watching you code in a google doc
I’ve had nightmares less terrifying than this
I looked it up (on Google of course) and it seems like this is one of Google’s recruitment channels.
You get access to a terminal and a text editor:

Here are the commands you can execute:

You have a week to complete each challenge. I’ve done 2 of them so far, and requested the third one - they have been very enjoyable and I’ve already learnt a lot from them.
I’m pretty sure I have literally zero chance of being hired by Google (and I’m not even sure I would want to work for them even if they made the mistake of wanting to hire me), but this has been super interesting so far. And yeah, also a huge time waster, I’ve been thinking about making the solution to the third challenge more elegant and performant all day instead of doing my actual job.
I think the incentives are a bit different here. If we can keep the threadiverse nonprofit, and contribute to the maintenance costs of the servers, it might stay a much friendlier place than Reddit.
This describes 99% of AI startups.
The company I work for was considering using Mendable for AI-powered documentation search. I built a prototype using OpenAI embeddings and GPT-3.5 that was just as good as their product in a day. They didn’t buy Mendable :)

This is an excellent explanation of hashing, and the interactive animations make it very enjoyable and easy to follow.
Whenever you store a value that has a unit in a variable, config option or CLI switch, include the unit in the name. So:
maxRequestSize=>maxRequestSizeByteselapsedTime=>elapsedSecondscacheSize=>cacheSizeMBchargingTime=>chargingTimeHoursfileSizeLimit=>fileSizeLimitGBtemperatureThreshold=>temperatureThresholdCelsiusdiskSpace=>diskSpaceTerabytesflightAltitude=>flightAltitudeFeetmonitorRefreshRate=>monitorRefreshRateHzserverResponseTimeout=>serverResponseTimeoutMsconnectionSpeed=>connectionSpeedMbps
EDIT: I know it’s better to use types to represent units. Please don’t write yet another comment about it. You can find my response to that point here: https://programming.dev/comment/219329
I’m sure it’s a nice client but I don’t understand why so many GUI projects have no screenshots in their READMEs. It would be great if I could immediately see if I like it without installing it.
EDIT: thanks for adding the screenshot to your post! It looks awesome!
Nice to see some OC on here! (And it’s also funny :) )



Lol that’s like saying there’s too much porn on /r/gonewild
