Transient technology and even hacking away at something allows for people to break into a field at the edge... doing what is interesting and learning from there. You are able to go as deep as you like, and expand as much as you want. Self-directed learners range from guys that can barely pull off a wordpress template, to the guy that came up with BabelJS. The sefl-directed software developer/learner has a focus that you don't have in an educational environment... that is generally a real world goal that you are trying to accomplish.
It does. He's saying that instead of writing a library that abstracts using the least common denominator across all kernels, it only cares about Linux. Doing this allows you to make use of Linux-specific APIs (for example cgroups elsewhere in systemd).

> heterosexual womens' unspoken but critically important criteria in mate selection is height.

Your impression may be biased, in part, because it's easy to measure height and create studies based around it.

My friend is handsome and rather short, whereas I'm tall and average looking. Despite what the studies say, women throw themselves at him whenever we go out, and he has a ridiculous match rate on Tinder.

While height may be one of many factors influencing attraction, it is in no way an overriding critical factor as your statement suggests.

That being true, I am very leery even of the basic "doesn't respond with a height requirement" part of this anecdote.

I have seen a lot of dating profiles with things like "no short guys please", "minimum height 6 ft." etc; and have heard a lot of my female friends openly admit to "not liking short guys". For some reason, admitting that seems to be a lot more socially acceptable than a man admitting that he doesn't like women with a certain body type.

One more step closer to launchd?
Right, hyperbole it is. I understand that research is making very large steps these days. But too often when things get too cheap, people use it without deep enough thoughts, with something as large as an organism.... Cheap rant from my side but that's my belief.

This is yet another leaky abstraction. The non-portability is mentioned:

If portability is essential to you, sd-event is not your best option.

He didn't say overriding critical factor. He said a critical factor. Yes, short but handsome men are also attractive. But nowhere as attractive as they would be if they were taller.
there are many things in systemd tied to Linux-only APIs. This isn't the first, and cgroups is just one example.
Mistake #2 is being loyal. That's a surefire way to never get anywhere. For me it's a learned skill to be sure. I learned it when I saw that people whom management is afraid to lose are promoted ahead of everybody else. So I make sure my managers know that I re-evaluate my options about once a year. I'm also "well respected" and paid very well, but unless things are going spectacularly well for me, no one is under an impression that I'll stick around. I think it's fair. Those same people would fire my ass if they weren't getting good value out of me, so it follows that I should do the same and expect good value out of them.

I think you have to hit every permutation, at least for AES, because AES is reversible.

In particular, if there were some 0 <= y < 2^128 such that AES_k(x) != y for all 0 <= x < 2^128, then there must also be some z such that two different values x1 and x2 encrypt to the same value, which can't happen if AES is reversible.

Defold: Free 2D Game Engine for Cross-Platform Publishing
Nonportability isn't a goal, portability though isn't. Portability isn't all that great a goal to begin with. You limit yourself to a lowest common denominator and sometimes you need to make compromises between platforms. This makes it very hard to impossible to do truly innovative and good things.

GUIs and the web in particular are the perfect example. Every GUI that's not specifically designed for a platform is always worse than the native solution. Additionally the web is laughably behind. Trivial WebGL experiments that you could do natively decades ago regularly hit the HN frontpage. On a lower level you have C which is bad for many reasons but one of them is trying to be portable and so you end up with not being able to assume 2's complement.

Whenever you can do without portability, you're probably better off ignoring it.

Your code used the naive algorithm and the system PRNG to generate a set of "random" and thus probably "unique" strings. The PRNGs supplied with many languages are widely known to be of poor quality. The results were bad, for reasons you later discovered. "Anti-pattern" sounds correct to me.

A safe approach is to run multiple uncorrelated sources of probable uniqueness/[pseudo]randomness through a modern cryptographic hash function, and generate your "unique" string from the hash output.
> "A Better Tinder", to me, would be one that actually supports its original function, of being "a hook-up app."

For ages, there have been sites catering to people looking for casual hook-ups. And they all run into the same problem -- very few women sign up for them. We could debate why this happens (most women don't need an app to have casual sex? The risk of casual sex with a stranger is much higher for women? There is a social stigma of being a woman looking for casual sex?). Once a site embraces being a hook-up app (e.g., Ashley Madison, Craiglist's casual encounters, etc.), it invariably ends up a vast sea of desperate men fighting over scraps.

Certainly, some men and women do use Tinder as a hookup app. Numbers suggest that the vast majority of women are all swiping right on the same very small minority of very physically attractive men. Whether women are hoping for a relationship with these men or looking for casual sex, I think it's safe to assume Tinder leads to a lot of hookups for these guys.

In any case, by removing the social stigma, Tinder became popular among a much larger segment of women compared to previous dating sites. It's not unusual in Los Angeles to see models on Tinder, which you just didn't seen on dating sites of the '90s and '00s.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paganism says:

> Medieval writers often assumed paganus as a religious term was a result of the conversion patterns during the Christianization of Europe, where people in towns and cities were converted more readily than those in remote regions, where old ways lingered. However, this idea has multiple problems. First, the word's usage as a reference to non-Christians pre-dates that period in history. Second, paganism within the Roman Empire centred on cities. The concept of an urban Christianity as opposed to a rural paganism would not have occurred to Romans during Early Christianity. Third, unlike words such as rusticitas, paganus had not yet fully acquired the meanings (of uncultured backwardness) used to explain why it would have been applied to pagans.[9]

> Paganus more likely acquired its meaning in Christian nomenclature via Roman military jargon (see above). Early Christians adopted military motifs and saw themselves as "Milites Christi" ("soldiers of Christ").[8][9] A good example of Christians still using paganus in a military context rather than religious is in Tertullian's De Corona Militis XI.V, where Christians are referred to as "paganus" (civilian)

If you're paying the AMT the 39.6% doesn't apply. The top AMT rate is 28%.

Whether you pay the AMT or not isn't really based on how much money you make. It's based on how many deductions not allowed under the AMT you take (deductibility of state taxes being the biggest one).

> abstract

Leaking the lower-level interface is a terrible "abstraction".

> least common denominator across all kernel

That's one approach. A better approach is to stop leaking the lower level interfaces and providing the higher-level API you want in a way that isolates you from the details.

When porting to another platform, this may require re-implementing features that are not available on the new platform. This is one of the reasons porting can be difficult.

> allows you to make use of Linux-specific APIs

We never had a problem using those features in the past. This is one of the reasons autotools/cmake exists.

The web is laughably behind not because of portability concerns, but because it fundamentally began as a poor man's hypertext system that could be hacked up in two weeks for linking together CERN's document archives. Web browsers are an interesting experiment in that they're virtual machines that began from a mostly blank state independent of their host, and progressively had to rediscover decades of CS research (often haphazardly) to get them in their current state.

That said, nothing truly innovative is being done with systemd to begin with.

If we turned into Argentina, it would be because of financial mismanagement and poisonous politics, not trade. Like rich people who don't want pay for a civilized society, impoverished masses, populism, breakdown of the social contract, violence and political thievery between the groups. I don't know how much you know about Argentina, but it takes generations of economic mismanagement, predatory politics, and violence to transition from a developed country to a developing country.

If a mercantilist trade policy was the only thing keeping the USA wealthy we're not going to stay on top anyway. You don't stay rich by trying to keep the rest of the world poor. That is the attitude that gets you to Argentina politics though.

It would be a shame if the richest country in the world were to say economic and civil liberties are great at home, but we're not going to lead by example and deal that way with the rest of the world.
