Why are flat structures necessarily project based?

I'm sorry to appear argumentative, but this is an area where we as tech workers have a great opportunity to explore alternatives to the dominant system of command-and-control, since we have small companies which are already tasked with trying new stuff, and what I'm seeing is blanket rejection based on a few (often misguided and naive) tries.

I'm not an expert either, but I've seen many small organizations as a grew up (specifically, theatre groups), and while they had project (plays) based distribution of tasks, some also managed the other stuff (like finances and requests of grants) without creating an hierarchy or putting those people in any way in charge.

> I kind of wonder what the shortest chain/tree of prerequisite tools and materials is from the stone age, to, say, a modern cpu

I suspect the chain isn't as long as you think, and you probably spend most of your time on the last steps.

The HUGE win is steel. You can almost go from stone age to well into the Industrial Revolution with almost no intermediate steps based on knowledge alone (blast furnaces date to 1st century AD--the limitation on steel was lack of chemistry knowledge rather than engineering).

After that you start needing interlocking industrial infrastructure.

Apple Targeted as Hackers Infect Popular Chinese Mobile Apps with Malware
Could anyone go into more detail on why a CRF is a good model for this kind of task? In the article they say that is was good for similar tasks:

> We chose to use a discriminative structured prediction model called a linear-chain conditional random field (CRF), which has been successful on similar tasks such as part-of-speech tagging and named entity recognition.

But they don't say why they chose if over some sort of markov model (chain, hidden, etc).
It's just best practice. This is what the FreeBSD-Documentation has to say about that topic:

"It is recommended that the root user's default shell remain unchanged since shells which are not included in the base distribution are installed to /usr/local/bin. In the event of a problem, the file system where /usr/local/bin is located may not be mounted. In this case, root would not have access to its default shell, preventing root from logging in and fixing the problem."

I guess there is nothing wrong with changing the default root shell to /bin/sh, but I don't know why anyone would like to do that.

Maybe for you (and me too) but for the general public, the default apps are used a hell of a lot. 50% of users use the default notes app[1], for example. Apple Maps (which based on the press, many might assume isn't used at all) has 3.5x the usage of Google Maps[1].

I don't know whether there are any other stats out there, but I suspect that for most people, there's no need to install a custom podcast app, for example, when the default one works just fine for them.

I still do not consider it a proper chess program as castling and en passant have been an integral part of chess rules for centuries.

So these programs are nice but they are not chess.

For this contest to have a relevance, make it simple: program must abide by the chess rules (per say FIDE or USCF) and also support UCI to avoid worrying about interfaces: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Chess_Interface

That would make it a nice level playing field.

> only really secure

Security is not an absolute, and there is no such thing as "really/totally/completely secure". The different locking methods allow you to strike a balance between security and convenience that's appropriate for you. All of these are useless against a determined attacker, for a given level of 'determined'.
If you make your mistakes cheaper, you may be inclined to keep making them for longer.
"The one American service member who was punished in the investigation that followed was Major Brezler, who had sent the email warning about Mr. Jan, his lawyers said.

We seem to have a classification problem.
Previously, any crash in the Keyguard (which used to reside in the same process boundary as the system_server) would have taken down the OS, and a (soft) reboot would have ensued. Now that the Keyguard runs in its own process, any crashes now only gets rid of the Keyguard window and exposes whatever window is behind it (usually a launcher window).

I wonder if the actual fix is to have the "watchdog" ping the Keyguard's process for a heartbeat like it does so with other services within the system_server... That way, any flaw / crash in Keyguard and you essentially loose access to the OS too (until it come backs up from the reboot, and starts from a clean slate).
Neither is relying on government 'recommendations' based upon a fairly old working group recommendation (1990s) which itself was based around interpretation of other studies.

I have also had a little mismatch with upstart for a particular application - the app itself spawns new processes in response to user input, but upstart can only track the main app not the children.

I am curious - precisely knowing when an app is running and when its not seems inherently dependent on the app and your definition of "running" for that app. Tracking apps from the system level in terms of processes etc. can only go so far. How do the init systems you mentioned tackle this?

Thanks for giving the reasoning for your downvote. But your argument is exactly the point of view that I already responded to in my initial comment. Not a single line shows that you try to accept that other people follow another moral codex. You say "No, because in my moral codex that's a really bad thing, therefore I can't be tolerant." and that is exactly what Muslims argue if we talk about eating pork, dressing of women, joking about religion, etc. And that's why it's actually a good analogy.

Or let me put it that way: The analogy is bad if you apply your moral codex. The analogy is good if you consider it a statement that is as bad as the headline in our moral codex, but from their point of view. This is the thinking step you should apply. And that's where the analogy comes from.

This can happen only because of a design flaw in the security architecture of Android (L). Unlike iOS and like traditional PCs, the disk encryption key is always in memory when the device is booted and nothing is really protected if you get a device in that state. It's an all-or-nothing proposition. On iOS, there are different encryption keys that are used to protect different classes of information. Specifically, when an iOS device is locked, the operating system loses a key that can decrypt files that are of a certain protection class that are not supposed to be readable when the device is locked. Only by entering the password when unlocking the device (or reloading it from Touch ID memory), that key can be derived again. The effect is, for example, all your mail can be protected and rendered unreadable while the device is locked.

With this security architecture, no bug in the password "gatekeeper UI" can lead to you being able to read the protected information if the device gets locked successfully.

WW2 era? What a load of rubbish, just because it has a propellor. The basic Tucano first flew in 1980.

~~

The turboprop ( geared propellor driven by a jet engine ) is still the most efficient means of aviation propulsion devised; it surpassed internal-combustion engines in efficiency in the early 1960s, with the Turboméca Astazou, and continued to improve.

Turboprops fall-off in efficiency with altitude and speed, but below around 20,000 ft and 400 kts they're the champions.

Sorry to be negative, but it will be almost impossible for you to get a job here this way, unless you are from a country that has a flexible work visa arrangement (Canada, Australia, etc). In fact, you could get banned from entering the country for 10+ years if you lie as to your intent for entering the US and you get found out. And if you tell them your intent is to find a job, you will also be denied. It's a no-win situation.

No companies can hire you, unless you already have an existing H1B. If they want to sponsor you, the earliest they could attempt is April 2016, for work in October 2016. And this is if you have a university degree to qualify you for H1B.

You could apply for graduate school, that's probably the easiest way in, and then once you get your degree, you could go on OPT, which gives you 19 months to get an H1B.

Or you could marry someone in the US, but if it's deemed fraudulent, then you would also be barred from entering the US as well.

You could join a large company that has offices where you are, and then transfer to the US on an L1 visa, which would give you a green card very quickly, and then you could quit and do whatever you want afterwards. However, there is the option that the company could take back your green card if you leave too quickly after getting your green card.

Again, sorry to be so negative, but just coming to the US and looking for a job will not work, not in this environment. You need to do it properly, but unfortunately, there is a very slim chance of actually getting a job.
A terrible article entirely predicated on anecdotal evidence. I have no doubt that most of the 'technologically advanced' equipment Americans put into and will put into wars will ultimately fail to live up to expectations.

But let's give another anecdote about the A10. In Iraq, the A10, just like the B52 in Afghanistan, was responsible for killing two truck loads of British soldiers. Its pilot mistook the luminous arrow signs that indicated friendly forces for missile systems.

In Afghanistan, an American Apache mowed down a platoon of British troops after being called in as air support and mistaking the troops for the enemy.

The thing that links all these incidences is not low or high tech but the American military. Clearly its pilots, soldiers, staff are not trained properly. Just a bunch of reckless idiots. Much like the government that sent them.

Average dissertation and thesis length by field (2014)
Interesting. When I first heard about modern people living in wooden houses I thought 'are they crazy? Why would someone be invest their life savings in buying a wooden house? Surely they cannot last very long'. I think it is because the climate is very different.

I live in northern England at about 1000' (fairly high by english standards). It rains a lot, and the rain tends to be more horizontal than vertical. Outside, untreated wood rots fast from the damp. Treated wood (e.g. windowframes) need repainting every 2nd year, and even so parts of them rot and need replacing every 25 years or so.

The houses near here are mostly 200-400 years old and built of local gritstone from quarries that are a few hundred yards away. The walls are as good as when they are built (the exteriors need re-pointing every ~40 years or so). The roofs (grey(stone) slate) need re-doing maybe every ~40 years when the timbers sag.

The buildings I have made (house extension, outbuildings) will still be standing 400 years from now.

The comments about shortage of timber might also have some validity - there were/are hardwoods here, but not much - unlike in the US or New Zealand, where you had large forests on your doorsteps.
