Is this a non-USA thing?

Here in the USA the modest apartments I was renting more than 30 years ago had dishwashers. However, I didn't always use the dishwasher because it's hard for one person to generate enough dishes a day to make it worthwhile to run. Especially if frozen food made for microwave heating is a large part of your diet.

Fuck you Jack Dorsey, I'll take the Bay Bridge over your cutesy picture-postcard tourist-trap any day of the week. I mean, have you even visited its Wikipedia page? Here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco%E2%80%93Oakland_.... The Bay Bridge has three segments, each with very different designs and constraints. It bridges waters twice as deep, and is five times as long as its contemporary. It transformed the economy of the bay area and played a key but unanticipated part in San Francisco's economic ascendancy over Oakland. It has an island in the middle of it. It's a damn marvel. You just need to be, like, a real engineer to appreciate its inner beauty because your eyes aren't wide-angle enough to take it all in at a glance. So, Steve Jobs wannabe, stick to your pixels. Pedestrian? You don't know what you're talking about.
Those e-mails used to annoy the hell out of me. I tried unchecking every box I could to get them to stop but they still came. I ultimately resorted to blacklisting LinkedIn's IP ranges on my mail server to get them to stop.
Even so, I would be very surprised if FLAC did not outperform general purpose compressors if the test is done on a wider range of music than a single piano piece (which should be very compressable overall as audio goes).

edit: went and did a test on a couple of tracks, using brotli: bro --quality 11 --window 24 against flac -8 (best settings in both cases)

satie - gymnopedie no 1:
wav: 41.6mb
brotli: 28.1mb
flac: 14.7mb

ram jam - black betty:
wav: 41.8
brotli: 35.8
flac: 26.5

vangelis - tao of love:
wav: 29.4
brotli: 23.0
flac: 13.4

meat load - paradise by the dashboard light:
wav: 89.3
brotli: 78.3
flac: 58.5

certainly not a massive test, and there are likely general purpose compressors which does a better job than brotli, still I feel rather convinced that they will not do better than FLAC other than in extreme cases such as the piano piece you linked to.
Thanks, that explanation made a lot of sense.
Where can I publish scholarly articles on software development methodology?
I've been working in the software industry for many years and have a research background. I want to write scholarly articles on development methodologies e.g. SCRUM. Which journals/sites would you recommend?
At Amazon (AWS) I had started to refer to some of our control plane components as "eventually reliable"; somewhat of a pun with a good dash of truth.

There were (and still are) sites hawking anything popular - games, porn, desktop apps, etc. If someone was lucky, they ended up with a bunch of adware slowing their computer down. Worse scenarios involved things like programs which would surreptitiously hang up your dialup connection and redial the equivalent of a 900 number in some country where the scammer could pay off the local police.

My experience of LinkedIn has descended from marginally diverting (2005-2009) to a pointless recruiter circle-jerk (2010-2013) to an endless source of scam sales-lead invites from profiles of dubious credibility (2014-2015).

I disabled all notifications long ago.

It is possible that this is the unavoidable fate of any professional-oriented social networking service. Nonetheless the value of LinkedIn to me is now effectively zero. I don't know anyone who respects their brand, and I'm left wondering if there's a gap in the market; c.f. Facebook vs Myspace ca.2008.
It has to do with the area, too. I live outside Boston, and it's 350/week around here; and we're not even at once of the expensive ones.

LastPass because I believe it makes me more secure than if I shared passwords everywhere, which would likely be the case otherwise. While it does create a single point of failure, in case of compromise of LastPass, I would be in the same position as I would be if one of my other logins were compromised, and I suspect I would hear about it more quickly. On the other hand, with LastPass, if another service is compromised, it limits the damage to just that service, whereas shared passwords would mean having to change my passwords everywhere. The convenience of never having to remember usernames or passwords is pretty great too.

The Demise of Small Private Colleges
Because the median is kept higher than in the US, where some people earn shitloads, but a large percentage of the population takes the short end of the stick.

This has several benefits outside of money: more integrated and coherent society (no "white trash" next to yuppies), less homeless people, less incarcerations and violent crimes due to being poor/uneducated/without future/etc. And more people thinking as part of the whole of their country/society, as opposed to "screw others, I just need to get to the top myself".

That said, some advanced countries, like Britain and (less so) France, do resemble the US more, compared to say Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, Netherlands, Italy, etc.

I'm not sure why it's so expensive. They do seem constantly undersupplied and I expect they pay their staff well.

I found some average prices for Australia [1]. They list "Long day care (child care centre)" at $70 - $185 per day, which is what we found when looking at prices.

Edit: looking at some of the other replies, it seems just as expensive in some parts of the US.
$350? Is that subsidized? That doesn't seem possible.

A good student:teacher ratio for 1-2 year olds is 1:3, for 3 year olds is 1:5 and for 4 year olds is 1:8. Assuming an even mix, that's an overall ratio of 1:4. 350 x 4 x 12 is $17K a year per teacher, and that's only if nothing goes towards rent, supplies and the other costs of running a day care.

I've heard this "generations of abuse" argument before to explain the low socioeconimic status of blacks in America and natives in other countries. But is there any evidence for it other than "blame the more successful class"?

I know behaviors are passed between generations - keeping poor people's children poor, violent people's children violent, etc. But does it really work over hundreds of years? Without evidence it's nothing more than an excuse.

There's also the political correctness phenomenon of being allowed to blame metabolism for racial differences but not another genetic factor - inherited intellectual differences. It even makes some sense that there should be differences - a small group of people who evolved over 1000 years through tribal fighting might end up mentally or intellectually different from others who lived in larger social groups with relatively non-violent lives. It's quite possible that in some societies, intellectuals are systematically filtered out of the gene pool while in others, violent people are.

That is indeed a strange comment, but not for the reason you gave. I’ve only worked as a sysadmin on and off for closer to 20 years rather than 30, but I have only ever had perfectly amiable customer contacts. Even though there have been some of them (there’s always a few) that have been very upset about something that my employer did, I seem to recall many of them apologizing to me for being so upset and saying that they are angry about the situation, and not upset about me. This have happened at many different companies in different fields, both technical and non-technical. I don’t know why people have this experience that “Support is an absolutely nightmare”. I mean, I can believe that people have that experience, I just don’t know why. I can understand someone in general not wanting to talk to people; I am myself somewhat reluctant to talk to people if I don’t actually have to. But I have learned to do it. It’s a bit like driving – some like it, some don’t, but if you need to do it, you learn how to do it and that’s that. (The only thing I have against customer contacts is that being the primary person who answers the phone is distracting when you’re doing other sysadmin stuff.)

No, the reason why that comment is strange is that if I’m a sysadmin, the users who use the systems that I keep running are my customers just as much as customers of the company. Why would you not count them as customers?

Maybe the article author liked having contact with people outside the company, as a sort of social interaction substitute? If that’s the case, I can only say that if I needed social contact that badly, all I needed to do was to go outside after work, where I could socialize on my own terms with people I could choose for myself. But I can only speculate about what the author actually meant by that comment.
If you give me a couple minutes I'll add a git pull option.

IF military downsizing is done mostly as a way to fund other areas - education and health, for example - there would be corresponding large increases in jobs/employment/industry around those areas, and I suspect it may spread the money around the country geographically a in a bit more balanced fashion.

I think at some point, if you've got a legacy application running on such an old platform, the cost of maintaining your own fork of libraries like OpenSSL has to fall on you eventually.

Although OpenSSL themselves continuing to maintain these ancient ports is admirable in a way, the unmaintainability it has caused to the code base as a whole is a serious problem that has reduced security for everyone.
I think that a conventionally-dominant global superpower suddenly becoming drastically less powerful would make for a fascinating novel or TV series.

The thing about rewrites is they're great if you're happy to wait three to five years to get back to feature parity with what you have today.

The BSD team needed a library that worked pretty much straight away as a drop in replacement, and then they could gradually bring in a new API on the side. If they had rewritten we'd still be waiting.

Also, the OpenBSD guys are really good at writing C. They have far safer versions of the standard memory and string handling functions, better functions for allocating arrays to guard against integer overflows calculating the size, etc., and the skill and strict standards to use them properly.

You're missing a step. To publish a scholarly article you must have an idea of the literature, as it could well be that what you want to publish was already published several years ago, or that there are well-known problems with your method of analysis, or that you need to compare it to alternative models for the same problem to show why your interpretation is a better fit.

To do that, you need to read the scholarly articles. So you should be asking which journals to read. For example, the 'ACM Transactions on Software Engineering and Methodology'. Or go to the ACM library and search for 'scrum'. http://dl.acm.org/results.cfm?h=1&cfid=718487887&cftoken=289... returns 1,885 matches, of which 224 have that word in the title.

From that you may start to figure out which journal or conference is more appropriate for the specific aspect of development methodologies you wish to write about.
Hi, author here.

I understand your point, but here is why it doesn't convince me.

First of all, the really poor in many cases cannot even afford cars. They already take transit, walk or bike to work, or sometimes just don't have work because there aren't enough jobs around where they live. But since streets and roads are often partly funded through general funds, it means that these people who cannot afford to drive end up paying taxes to subsidize those who can. I don't think it makes sense. Also, people who would opt out of driving to save on money with tolls and congestion charges would also probably save a lot of money.

As you said, the rich may not care, but then the rich will pay. That money they pay will allow roads to be funded without using general funds or will serve to subsidize transit. Some may call it a "wealth transfer", but I would call it ending an unfair wealth transfer that is currently in effect in most places in North America.

Second, it's not as if roads would be shut off, in general only drivers would have to pay, as they use roads much more than other road users.

Third, I consider the effects this would have on land use patterns. By subsidizing road transport, what we do is create an incentive for people and companies to settle farther and farther away from the center of metropolitan areas. When it's an individual choice and they're willing to assume the consequences of that choice, OK, I'm perfectly fine with that. But why should everyone else subsidize their choice? Isn't that rewarding waste and punishing virtue? Those who make a responsible choice to live in places where they will not need to use much expensive public infrastructure end up paying taxes to subsidize people who make the choice to live in areas where essentially every trip they make will require extensive use of expensive public infrastructure?

But what is worse is when companies decide to settle far away to benefit from the congestion-free, toll-free roads in the periphery of metro areas. By moving away from the center, which is often better served by transit and more walkable and bikable, these companies end up creating a situation where people who want to work there, or who want to purchase their goods and services, HAVE to buy a car to access them. When that process is repeated by most companies, you end up with a metropolitan area where people without cars lose access to 80-90% of jobs and services, this condemns many poor urban neighborhoods to despair and poverty from which they cannot escape, because they need cars to access economic opportunities to lift them out of poverty, but they don't have the money to own a car (which costs on average about 6 000$ a year), they would need a job to have the money to buy a car that they need to find a job. See the problem?

So even if these policies I spoke about may have some negative impacts on some poor people who are barely able to afford cars as it is, I think in the long-run, they would shape cities to favor developments that increase access to jobs and services for the poor and reduce car-dependency.

I don't know if I convince you but I hope at least you understand my reasoning.
You are wrong, and a drama queen.

The only thing (L)GPLv3 patent clause obliges propagators to do (ie not mere users; not even mere modifiers) is to grant their users licenses to applicable patents which they own. The permissive Apache license v2 demands from contributors the very same. It is the software patents that should be "banished", not freedom preserving licenses.

TL;DR: (L)GPLv3 prevents patent trolling through free software.

I agree about your description about printers, but I wouldn’t call them “evil”. I’m trying to think of the best word to describe them… haunted? bizarre? chaotic? random? mysterious? No wait, I know; the perfect word is opaque. They do weird stuff and you don’t know why, and you can’t look inside them and find out why. Hmm, now that I’ve come to this conclusion, the answer seems to be the same obvious one that we already have for the similar problem of opaque software and operating systems. Free software, so you can actually look inside and debug the things when your system/printer has found some new way to confound you.

I seem to recall that the original story about how Richard Stallman was inspired to create the concept of free software was that he was stymied by proprietary software in a printer, so this would simply bring the concept back to its roots, so to speak.
