… and your point is?

The shoes I’ve seen look like an orthopaedic horror story.

As a fully functional adult, I’ve been eyeing off light up shoes for years. So far, all I’ve seen is gimmick shoes you wouldn’t wear for more than an hour, so I make do with fluorescent shoelaces instead.

This seems like fun, though I’m not sure if I’d be game to walk up a set of stairs on them, perhaps I’m not keen on breaking something when I’d invariably trip and fall.

I wonder what the criteria are to define what an artist is, or what requirements are needed to qualify for such assistance.

Unlikely.

You underestimate the size of the Universe. There’s 8 billion people on Earth, there’s about 200 billion stars in our galaxy, and between 100 billion to 200 billion galaxies in the observable universe.

How would you suggest I respond in the future?

We have a person, claiming that CUPS doesn’t work and they now uninstall it on every installation.

There is no context, no data, no information that suggests what the issue is, what they tried, when this occurred, on which platform, under which conditions.

In other words, the user was essentially saying “CUPS sux”.

Having used Linux as my main system for over 25 years, that sentiment did not match my own experience, does not help anyone, not me, not the user and not the OP who was trying to solve a problem, let alone anyone else reading along.

I responded accordingly.

This has not been my experience … at … all.

Perhaps it would be helpful to discover what exactly doesn’t work for you and fix that, rather than remove CUPS because one time it didn’t work for you seven years ago.

You could print to CUPS from the other devices and potentially bypass all those shenanigans.

Also, CUPS has a PDF printer which saves you from even heating up your printer at all … I haven’t had a printer in my life for over 25 years.

Oblivious or Complicit, neither is something you want to run your government.

So the people in that office are either oblivious, or complicit.

I wonder if the USA will run out of essential items before or after the next election.

It’s likely going to take down whole companies if not countries.

It uses a security feature of Linux called cgroups or control groups to limit access to resources at a kernel level.

It’s used all over the place, including as the basis of Docker.

Wait until you see our dropbears. .

There’s a common but persistent misconception that Docker is like running a virtual machine. This is understandable but incorrect.

A better way to think of it is as a security wrapper around an untrusted process.

If you look at your running processes whilst a container is running, you’ll see the processes inside the container running on your “host” machine - remember, it’s not a host - guest situation.

There is no relationship between the user inside the container, unless you start mapping the UID and GID.

The only exception to this is the root user which shares the UID/GID with the actual root user.

See: https://www.howtogeek.com/devops/why-processes-in-docker-containers-shouldnt-run-as-root/

Edit: I suspect, but don’t know for sure, that the root user inside the container is actually the same user as the one running the Docker process, which is typically the root user on the “host”.

1. The Docker container should change the user to an internal one (created by the build stage) and the process should run as that user.
2. The uid and gid can be specified at runtime.

And we’re still stuck with its aftermath in that search engines require quotes rather than a + for requiring words, which they now ignore whenever the mood strikes.

Why?

Because some fuckwit at Google decided that the + was reserved for Google+ search results.

It’s likely not about tennis, unless the CEO is a dick, it’s about an excuse to meet you and evaluate how you are as a human being.

Unless there’s a specific dress code requirement, I’d arrive in comfortable clothes, smart casual, clean and with a smile on my face.

When you’re asked about your lack of racket I’d point out that not only have you never played, you didn’t think it would be prudent to spend money on gear you know nothing about.

Remember, this is about people, not about hitting a tennis ball.
