One series I haven’t seen recommended yet is Alastair Reynolds novels. Revelation Space is a wonderful series, and if you want to start with a standalone story House of Suns and Diamond Dogs are great choices.
For lighter reading there’s also the Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells.
There’s other older series that may appeal to you: Vatta’s War and Vorkosigan Saga conf to mind.
It provides a safety net by pooling the resources of the community to support the less fortunate. This prevents people from having to sacrifice their long term goals because their short term needs may not be otherwise met.
Also in contrast to capitalism that treats society as a zero sum game (“I can’t get ahead unless I take something from someone else”) socialism is a benefit multiplier (“I’m part of the community. By making the life of everyone in the community better I’m also improving my own life”).
They are really good at providing examples for why civilized society needs socialism.
Arch: I need reproducible setups. Also bleeding edge is not for me.
I have to give credit to their documentation though!
What put me off selinux is that the officially documented way of generating a new policy is to run a service unconfined, and then generating the policy from its behaviour. This is backwards on so many levels… In contrast policy-based admission control in kubernetes is a delight to use, and creating new policies is actually doable outside of a lab.
Mine has a precondition option that can both heat the cabin and warm up the battery while still plugged in (a warm battery will give you better range). The heaters keep up, and in fact can warm the cabin faster than on ICE: The latter uses waste heat from the engine, the EV just uses a heating element like a space heater for home would.
Confucius says: man who runs in front of car gets tired; man who runs behind car gets exhausted.
Warm Blooded Hugger.
so what are the reasons why it’s a bad daily driver?
Don’t need to go any further than “default user is root.”
Sometimes the X is not quite at the spot. My guess is that it’s under the sand too the right on the first picture (possibly underwater).
The pun is so bad it made me sigh. Top quality dad joke!
It was Arkanoid for me.
That’s impossible, we know Anakin is Luke’s dad and Obi-Wan told Luke that Vader killed him.
16 and below is unambiguous. It’s a child up to and including 16 years old. Compare that to “below 17” for example, which technically means the same but might be confused to include 17 by someone skimming the question.
I don’t recall Reddit having unique content - what I do remember however was that it had aggregated content. It filled the role of Slashdot, Fark, and other sites, and it had a comment threading system that was far more usable. The memes came after.
“Don’t you think he looks tired?”
That’s s good trick.
Legally it is quite clear. Taking a description of a closed source program and writing a new one is ok in most cases (unless that description is API docs - see Cisco vs Arista). Taking a look at closed source software and then implementing your own version is poison as far as OSS goes. OP implemented the first version, so that’s already a problem. They may get away is they describe what the program does to someone else and let them implement it, but OP would not be able to touch the source code
Peter F. Hamilton’s books may fit the bill: Futuristic, not hopeless/dystopic, and the main characters tend to make reasonable decisions. Be wrned though that he favours deus ex machina conclusions. Most will suggest Pandora’s Star as a starting point (with good reason, as the Commonwealth Saga is quite expansive), but it does not have to be. I personally read the Night’s Dawn trilogy first. The Salvation trilogy also stands on its own, and for a completely standalone book Great North Road was a good read.
Adrian Tchaikovsky is another wonderful author! the Children of Time and Final Architecture series were quite enjoyable.
Redemption Space (Alastair Reynolds) is another series one that I like to recommend. Closer to The Expanse. House of Suns also is a great read by the same author, as are several of his other stories.
The White Space books by Elizabeth Bear should be on your reading list.
Vorkosigan Saga (Lois McMaster Bujold) is a bit dated but similar to Vatta’s War in the earlier books. Later on the plot tends to be more along the lines of whodunnit mystery… in space.
And let’s not forget another scifi favourite, Iain M. Banks! The Culture series are great of course, but I liked The Algebraist the best.
