> definition of concurrency quoted from the Python wiki [0] which is imprecise: "Concurrency in programming means that multiple computations happen at the same time."

Surprising to some, this is the literal definition. The word "concurrent" is a portmanteau from Latin, "con" translates as same and "current" translates as time. Concurrent literally means "same time". Comp Sci really needs to use a different word.

One thing that stands out to me is the incorrect use of the word "law" when referring to flight modes. Is this just a bad translation? Are any native French speakers familiar with the Airbus documentation able to comment if the concepts make more sense in French?

LXD is only available via Ubuntu proprietary Snap packages and not native .deb packages. Native as in Ubuntu is a Debian derivative, and .deb packages are the native package for Debian.

Snap has some downsides for server/infrastructure packages. Automatic updating being the most visible, but they are generally all about lack of control. This is what Snap does, it moves the power from users to developers.

Here it is in real life https://youtu.be/hmkMTKZt9J4

Its interesting to see how much trouble it has making a simple turn. The doubled up tracks seem to be a mobility disadvantage.

Free speech doesn't mean you can say whatever you want. It means you can speak with whom you want.

Free speech as codified in Bills of Rights is there to stop the Government from censoring people, usually opponents of the current Government.

The idea that you can speak whatever you want is ridiculous. There are many laws in the way of this, Assault, Libel/Slander, Perjury, etc

I always liked this early definition of DevOps:

"Giving developers operational responsibilities has greatly enhanced the quality of the services, both from a customer and a technology point of view. The traditional model is that you take your software to the wall that separates development and operations, and throw it over and then forget about it. Not at Amazon. You build it, you run it." - Werner Vogels, Amazon CTO (2006)

DevOps meant that Developers are also responsible for Operations. But that meaning is lost to time, just like hacking meaning programming.
