Lima[0] also looks like a promising replacement on macOS. It manages provisioning a VM with nerdctl[1] installed, networking, and shared storage. The project has a support path for ARM Macs with a patch QEMU. [0]: https://githu

One thing to check is sleep apnea. It has become relatively straightforward to diagnose with the advent of at home sleep tests — you put on a special watch and sleep in your bed. If you have it, sleeping with a CPAP machine will be a reve

I live 1.5 miles from the Crystal City HQ2 site in Alexandria, VA. Are there affordable housing, transportation, and public safety issues we have to address? Of course. Will we benefit from addressing these problems to add 25,000-35,000

Of course they care about those battles. Not only could they impact their renewal and/or trigger large penalties, but they can (and often do with large contracts) percolate up to Congressional oversight committees. Unless you have e

The intelligence community (IC) [1] is not part of the JEDI contract [2]. While many IC components are part of DoD, the IC spans a wider swath of government (e.g. parts are distributed across DOJ, DOE, Homeland Security, State, etc). In a

I live about 2 miles away. I can tell you that not only have they been building it out at a prodigious pace (they had people were working in Crystal City by the end of 1Q2019). They have signed construction contracts, leases, extended off

You must contend with politics working for USG at any level for any department/agency. There are plenty of very nasty, bitter politics within each of the intelligence agencies, as well as, across the larger intelligence community (IC)

One of the primary drivers for JDK support is security. As far as I can tell, Oracle remains the only member of the OpenJDK community participating in the vulnerability pre-disclosure process. They are also not releasing source for JDKs a

It's not just millenials in this case. I am an GenX-er with a wife and two kids. We are planning to switch to a mail order pharmacy (Pill Pack or Costco -- dependent on cost) in the near future. My wife, one of our daughters, and ou

We use minikube's support for Docker insecure registries to build and deploy images locally. It works perfectly for us.

As someone who lives in the region, the lanes are complete gouging. They diverted a tremendous amount of tax dollars to build them, and then turned them over to a private company to collect these dynamic tolls. Part of the deal is that ca

If you have a family member who is a member of the military or attached in a civilian capacity, I highly recommend Navy Federal Credit Union. They payback all ATM fees and have a great online banking platform (including mobile deposit). T

I couldn't agree more with you. Erasure was one of the top boneheaded decisions made in the history of Java development. The irony was that it was done in the name of backwards compatibility that, in practice, was unnecessary. The r

It fails the quiet test, but the Unicomp IBM Model M clones [1] are excellent. They licensed the patents from IBM, and have updated the design for updated layouts and USB. In particular, the SpaceSaver M [2] is a IBM Model M with the Mac

Another completely missed opportunity on their part. Apple has the cash and where with all to be a bank. All they would need to do is purchase a community bank somewhere, and bam, they could start cutting out credit card processors. No d

My thinking is that it would lower the barrier of entry. The iPad/iPhone cannot be used to accept payments without some kind of addon that can break or get lost. The moment someone buys an iPhone/iPad, they can accept payments.

By physically, I mean having to use it from the device. I don't know how common a use case I represent, but I do most of my e-commerce purchasing from my laptop. I would have more more apt to adopt Apple Pay had I been able to place

It's impossible to know how long they have been working on it. As I recall, Swift had been in development for 3+ years before it saw the light of day.

The only performance reason I could imagine would be if both pieces had required large heaps and had difference garbage collection profiles. Putting them in separate containers (and by extension JVMs) would split the size of the heap for
