> One of the main goals of metrics collection is to analyze whether Red Hat is achieving its goal to make Fedora Workstation the premier developer platform for cloud software development. Accordingly, we want to know things like which IDEs are most popular among our users, and which runtimes are used to create containers using Toolbx.
Re:Writing summaries is more important than reading more books

Inspectional reading is one of the key limitations for me when reading books on the Kindle. I need to be able to quickly flip around from toc to glossary and between chapters. There’s still too much friction for that with the ebook format.

Got curious about who else is sponsoring Mastodon: https://joinmastodon.org/sponsors
Though not completely surprised, I must say this collection of logos is a bad look for Mastodon's mainstream adoption. >80% of the sponsors are suspicious looking casino and adult sites.

While I am intrigued by the tease of what kind of secrets could possibly have been discussed, this piece comes off as kind of try-hard, an excuse to flex that David took part in a private dinner with his #1 hero.

How would a researcher keep tabs on NK infrastructure like this? Would it be pinging known IPs for uptime?

Reading this, nodded along mostly in agreement until the author attempted to compare the crypto community to "Scientology and their beliefs about alien thetans and e-meters"... come on, that's a dubious stretch in logic and with that one mean comment makes his points, as a whole, much less credible.

Incredibly ironic that this is headlined by Google since they perpetuate most online scams through SEO and AdWords, where they refuse to investigate too deeply since it would negatively impact their quarterly financials.

on Wednesday November 17, 2021 @10:36AM (#29254458)
The return on investment of this deal is easily worth it for Crypto.com -- "perception is reality"; they are paying around $35 million per year, and they probably already earned back the first few years of expenses in the form of new customer deposits, the mainstream consumers who saw the announcement of this deal on their local morning news or radio host gossip. Foris DAX MT Limited (d/b/a Crypto.com) being a Malta entity, funded with crypto, the principals can easily back out of the deal before the 20-year term... Genius.

Surprised that the DoD cannot contractually gag a high-level departure from sharing internal dirty laundry like this, as an issue of national security, when your typical corp would without a doubt suppress this kind of public lamentation. Does not look good for the US on the world stage.
