Am I the only person who thinks this looks sort of like the ETA-10 (circa 1987ish)? With the difference being it is load/store rather than bcopy but if I read it correctly they both had the coherency problem.
The Moon is nearby (which means if something goes wrong we can actually send a rescue mission rather than recording farewell messages), has a low gravity that makes launching stuff easy, no atmosphere (may be useful for metallurgy), abundant solar energy and probably some ice. It is a great stepping stone for the rest of the solar system. It is true it's harder to reach than Mars (because you can't do atmospheric braking) but it's a much shorter trip.
Ideally, those colleagues would keep sshd disabled unless they actually do need your remote assistance, at which point they'd "service sshd start" or "systemctl sshd.service start" (or however it's normally done with systemd) or "/etc/init.d/ssh start" or "/etc/rc.d/rc.ssh start" or what have you. Minimization of attack surface is an important part of a comprehensive security strategy, and a remote login system - even one with a phenomenal track record like OpenSSH - contributes pretty heavily to that attack surface.
Yes, and that's "retard", the verb. A totally different word! (Maybe it depends on dialect, but as I've always heard it spoken, it doesn't even sound the same.)

"They do put a retard" - here, the word "retard" is used in a noun position. Therefore, it is a noun. Therefore, it must refer (and with an implication of cruel disaparagement) to somebody who is mentally handicapped.

I wonder if they use the same person each time?
Bedbot – Daytime Initialization Assistant
It's not clear what has happened in this case, but it's possible that the database was downloaded by hackers before the date on which Amy paid for her information to be removed.

According to the Gawker breakdown of the Ashley Madison database (http://gizmodo.com/almost-none-of-the-women-in-the-ashley-ma...) deleted accounts were never actually removed from the database; they were just flagged with a deletion tag and delisted from the public-facing website.
> Gee, maybe putting weather radar right next to an unlicensed ISM band wasn't such a great idea. Maybe they're the ones who should move.

Doesn't work that way. They're trying to detect air movement. That's hard; it's not possible at just random frequencies. You can't (effectively) move the radars without changing physics. They're at the frequency they're at for a reason, not just because of random bureaucratic decisions.

(Of course, it's not that simple. Of course you can move them - at some loss of effectiveness. How much, to move them how far? I can't answer that.)

I try to stop work by Friday evening and start up again Monday morning but lately I've been using Sunday nights to get an early start on the work week.
What are these weekends of which you speak? :)

Just kidding, I'm in an 18 year old company so my weekends are pretty sweet. Driving tractors and stuff.

But when we started, and even now, it is rare that more than 6 hours go by and we haven't checked email. We are weird, we do pretty great support so people check emails on weekends to see if there is a big problem. If there isn't, off we go to some fun. If there is, rally the troops and get it fixed.

We're in the enterprise software space so it's sort of expected that we have some coverage on weekends.

All that said, if we do our job right, weekends are pretty boring. Which is why we peer review everything and regression test everything. Even with that some stuff slips through but not very often. We did a .0 release 6 weeks ago, found one bug, about to push a .0.1 release out the door. Boring. Which is how I like it.

If I ran a search engine it'd probably look exactly like Google's. That's not the point I'm trying to make.

Was Microsost wrong to use their position as the dominant OS to kill Netscape by effectively banning it from Windows installations? Was Standard Oil wrong to force railroads to not only give them massive discounts but also force the railroads to hurt Standard competitors?

What Google is doing and what Microsoft or Standard Oil did are fantastically profitable tactics that insure their long-term success. The question is, should they be allowed to do that without any restrictions?
Social media is always whatever you put into it. For journalists, that means they can readily mold any story they want. G+ is a ghost town! Facebook is nothing but your annoying uncles! Tumblr is tweens sharing GIFs of Dr. Who and Orange is the New Black! Twitter is just Ashton Kutcher trying to do brand marketing!

It's like saying you can't find a finance job in SF or a public policy job in NYC or a high-tech startup job in DC. No, that's not what those cities are known for, but that particular thing does exist in some form there and the person willing to scratch beyond just the surface will find it.

20 that have been noticed and charged. One is too many. How would you like to end up flying through a thunderstorm or a microburst? Most of the cases happened in Puerto Rico, where they get thunderstorms almost every day at certain times of year. It just takes one plane to fly through a thunderstorm to give everyone a very bad day.

fivethirtyeight mentions one obvious usage: providing it to city planners for say bus routing.

The other thing I think you could do that would be very useful for drivers is show them areas that there are typical long waits / longer rides right now. I know a lot of drivers do some planning, but they seem to be in the dark. I'm sure a 'where to uber' app on android / ios for drivers telling them when to get where to take advantage of surge pricing for customers that will want to get taken to a desirable spot would be VERY popular among drivers.
Yeah, it's quite common in the US in CS. I think you may also be confused because "professor" in the US is still used even for the lowest-ranked tenure-track positions (and even for adjuncts).
Theres molitn (https://moltin.com/) from the YC15 batch, I haven't tried maybe it's for you.
It seems Rust and D have very very similar C FFIs, see http://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ffi.html .

https://github.com/crabtw/rust-bindgen is a tool in the vein of dstep.

(Rust has the advantage of having no runtime beyond what C needs unlike D with its current garbage collector, so FFI, especially exposing a C interface, is likely somewhat simpler.)
Why is that a bad example? I think it's the perfect example of where you'd have to be nice to pay well.

There's no competitive advantage to paying your drivers well, there's no legal compulsion to pay drivers well, the only reason to pay your drivers well is to be nice.

Your example is bad because the reason all those incentives are offered is because IT workers are in demand and so market forces are forcing employers to offer lots of benefits. Not because they're nice.

My opinion is that we are predictable and deterministic, but we choose to cling to the idea of us being more than that because we can't deal with the other option. The other option is quite simple, from what I see: we'll never manage to completely read, simulate and predict a complex system like our body, so in reality nobody will be able to predict what we'll do - and for me that's enough to feel comfortable. From what I see free will is defined by others as some kind of magic process through which our decisions are based on some random factor which is unpredictable. I'd say the randomness doesn't need to exist as long as the unpredictability holds.
I agree. I have a small few Twitter followers that I have to stop and wonder if they think I'm someone else, because they are significantly higher on the fame scale than me. It's not completely outside of the realm of possibility that they might be interested in virtual reality, and I do frequently tweet about VR, but it is in no way a balanced transaction. That would have never happened in real life, because I really like where I live and have no interest in moving to where they live.

The value of a particular approach to OS design depends upon what it's used for. This post seems to me to be making a number of assumptions in this regard and I found myself thinking "that doesn't apply to me" about much of what it states about UNIX.

Not a criticism per se, just stating that this definitely seems to be from a specific POV.

Having said that, I must say that a few claims are made that are head-scratchers to me, e.g. that UNIX is a "single-user system", and that an OS should be something that one can "learn programming" from.
They're both statically typed, but the type systems obviously aren't equal.

That was his point.
My situation is similar. 18-year old company. At weekends I check email occasionally, but don't reply until Monday unless it's an urgent issue (which it generally isn't).

There generally should never any need to do any work on weekends unless it's an unusual situation. You're just reducing your overall productivity if you work too much. Having said that, sometimes I do work on problems over the weekend just for the fun of it.

I use Freshbooks with the Chronomate add-on. It lets me start a timer, pauses during inactivity, letting me determine to keep/remove idle time, and easily start/stop. It lets me document time in small chunks, so that each of those chunks shows up as a line item. Not the only solution like this, but I've found this combination to work the best for me.

It's a bad example because they are in the customer service business. Happy workers == happy customers.

Uber's technology isn't novel and will be replicated. Robot cars will probably make them a commodity. Alienating the frontline is selling the future.

Before Wal-Mart adopted a business model dependent on government subsidy of the workforce, they paid well and gave even part time workers significant discounts on stock purchases. When that stopped, and they took the asshole route, the shopping experience turned into the current state -- a few steps away from DMV.

I certainly didn't downvote you.

I do, however, disagree.

In this particular case, it seems that the method employed to "stop idiots who don't know what they're doing from interfering with aircraft weather radar" is to infringe on everyone's right both to run software without the government assessing its content and to broadcast signals regardless of their content.

Costco has a gross margin of ~13%, and is reputed to have very good working conditions.
I think the "weird" in the "Keep Austin Weird" is immediately south of the river (but not so far south that you get to the cheap, big houses). I think the food trucks started there, for instance, and it seems to have a lot more older places with a little more "feel". Most of the software development happens in north Austin, which is definitely not "weird." I almost never went south of the river, but it always felt a little different when I did.

Between the University, the anecdotes about life on KUT, the food trucks, the transvestite running for mayor every year, places like the Alamo Drafthouse, Rudy's, and Chuy's (all places with a very distinct atmosphere), the city has a very different feel from what you see in many cities.

My guess would be that immutable clojure is still faster than say mutable ruby though.

I don't think anybody is arguing that trie lookup is faster than array lookup.
But when it comes to passing data between parts of the system, zero cost copies are much faster than copying buffers or objects.
Automatic elevators at least have their own distinct movement areas.

Automatic cars have to share their space with (human-driven) cars, crazy nuthead bikers and drunk-as-fuck pedestrians, not to mention cops ignoring all the traffic rules to get a fucking burger from McD and other emergency services.

Quite a difference I'd say, even with today's technology.
Not sure if this has been well known before (I don't follow uber much) but I find it very interesting that Uber is doubling down on self driving cars. It makes fantastic sense for what they are doing, but as an "employee"/"contractor" driving for them, I'd be looking at options long term.
Just curious, is that with the "EasyPayXpress" card or just a regular unlimited card purchased at the machine? Last time it happened to a roommate they sent a new card in the mail which was credited with either the prorated cost or number of days, I can't recall which.
Warren Buffett lives in Nebraska.
Cool bit of history and I kind of see the analogy, but there's a difference between pulling up and down by cables in a single shaft indoors, and powered rolling on roads outdoors anywhere. Even if the first self-driving cars are on fixed paths too, there are a lot more variables.

> The only reason there's such an upgrade cycle for consumer routers is that they're built shoddily and with the slowest CPU possible.

A lot of this is that consumers have been taught that routing, NAT, etc isn't done by a general purpose computing device like a PC or server, but that those tasks MUST be relegated to an appliance.

But compute is compute, and antennas are antennas. And the word "appliance" has long held a secret meaning of "a Linux server on your Windows (or local area) network."
Yeah, but that structure is also easy to explore and understand.

And in case you want some security you can use libraries like prismatic/schema, that allow you to declaratively describe your expected data-structures akin to a type system.

The web is build on json and not corba because plain maps and vectors are far easier to work with than domain specific objects.
Surprisingly, I've found that a number of uber drivers seem to be aware of the fact that they will ultimately become obsolete yet are fine just riding the wave in the meantime.
I personally know three people whose stories are much closer to the NYT pieces than your comments, and they've all only left within the past three years, with the most recent exit being about five months ago. I know two others (in Seattle, it's easy to know many people with an Amazon work history) who had a fine experience, one of whom that still works there. I've interviewed for two positions there myself, one that I declined and one that I did not receive an offer for; one was presented as exceptionally competitive, with the HR rep dancing around a few of the NYT-style topics, and one that seemed much more typical and collaborative.

No, I've not worked there, but all of the evidence at my disposal (your comment included), leads me to believe your Amazon experience is highly dependent on where your work group sits in the Amazon network. To shrug off the stories as potential fabrications seems as intellectually dishonest as assuming the stories of extreme treatment are commonplace.
Larry listened to Aaron Schwartz'es clear insight... the political operating system must be fixed before any other meaningful issue reforms can be discussed.

His singular focus on that specific, hard issue combined with a pledge to step down after fixing just that is interesting, in a George Washington-revivalist manner. I think he needs a lot of coordinated "muscle" from broad support in order to push this massive "boulder" up and over the "mountain" of institutionalized resistance (the rich, lobbyists and entrenched politicians will fight this one to the death, so he needs to prepare to fight World Wars III, IV & V).
> The Everett FAQ Q16 disagrees.

It looks to me like it "disagrees" mostly by mis-stating what other interpretations predict about the (highly idealized) thought experiments it describes. For example, it says that if we had a "reversible machine intelligence", we could use it to entirely reverse a measurement after it was performed. But on a collapse interpretation (such as Copenhagen), such a "reversible" measurement, like any reversible process, is not a measurement at all; it doesn't collapse the wave function. So the interpretations don't actually differ on this prediction; they just differ on how the result (which they both agree on) is interpreted.

The FAQ does raise one issue which might amount to a "difference in prediction", namely the issue of whether linearity is exact or not. The MWI requires that it is; any collapse interpretation requires that it is not. However, even here there is a problem about what constitutes a "prediction". The MWI claims that the other "worlds" exist, but we can't communicate with them; we can only detect them via interference effects, which basically means by keeping processes reversible, as above, so a collapse interpretation will just say that no collapse has occurred. But that is effectively the same as the collapse interpretation's prediction that the other worlds don't exist after a collapse has occurred. In other words, these two putatively different "predictions" are in fact experimentally indistinguishable.
Interesting. I am a bit confused though as to how xmonad could not be considered programmable. I'm curious -- what does it lack in your opinion?

Printing Money Goes Haywire in Venezuela

I worked for a company that did a cat electrification project circa 2008. 90ft mast 1300 sq feet of living space. Replaced a diesel in each hull with 16kw motor, inverter, and batteries. Main diesel generator remained but was only for backup. You could run the props as generators while under sail for a cost of 1/2 knot you could run all electric loads including air conditioning while charging the batteries. I guess solar could be useful at the dock...
Clojure isn't really a fair comparison. Clojure hasn't got low-level interop with all those things, just JVM, and that interop is bought at the cost of closely tying Clojure to JVM. I don't think D can be changed in all the basic ways that would be required to give it the same level of integration with JVM, and that would also basically mean abandoning the entire standard library. JVM's difficulties integrating with things other than JVM aren't something I imagine D can really solve.
No, it will cost them money because it's the men spending all the money on subscriptions. If they knew their messages were filtered they'd leave it droves.

My advice would be to find out for yourself and don't believe the hype:

> Would you say Go is more suited for high-performance command-line tools, and Elixir for long-term running stuff?

Like Go isn't very high performance. See for yourself: http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/ (I know, lies, damn lies and benchmarks, but it's the best we got!). Elixir is it good for marathons because it's based on Erlang and Ericsson claims six nines uptime? Just use the tech you find is most FUN to work with because it's better to have fun programming than being bored.
Just to add on, think of how much more centralized the company's model becomes. A self-driving car probably won't depend on third-party drivers and Uber can start intaking a lot more cash from its services (of course, maintenance and such costs may increase).
