I love the fact that i915 is always the first to get support for the latest kernel features, it's probably going to have the first usable vulcan driver, YET every time I find dozes of minor (and not so minor) regressions, to the point that I'm simply tired.

Are there no automated unit tests for the Intel driver?
There aren't really a lot of people that overweight. Probably needs to be more than 300 lbs, but what I am going for is for there to be a small enough amount of force involved that people will almost certainly survive crashes. So the vehicle has to be very light and that is what I was trying to go for. If the person or vehicle is heavier then maybe it has to move slower to stay safe.

You say its better to make it a rule for people to use bicycles or scooters in between towns. Well, I suggested in the same section to use bicycles or velomobiles which is the same thing, except ideally since this is relatively dense and mixed use you don't have to go very far to get to your store or wherever and so its in the same town.
The downside of everyone piling into index funds isn't something systemic that'll bring down the financial system the way the real estate bubble did. Rather, it's that the capital market as a whole becomes less efficient. All the money parked in index funds is money whose owners did no due-diligence about where they put it; it means that if reality changes and the value of the underlying businesses goes up or down, the index fund will be the last to profit from it, and we can expect price changes in the stock market to lag fundamental changes in the businesses by a greater time period.

The effect of this is basically that returns for active smart-money investors go up, as there's less competition amongst folks actively trying to discover new relevant business facts. We see this already - a lot of the wealth-creation in Silicon Valley is because folks who have an information advantage can invest in new private businesses before the general public is willing or able to invest in them, creating large private fortunes. But because the price mechanism lags the business reality in this case, you don't have crises where a large number of people suddenly find out that they are poorer than they expected, like the 2008 housing bust and 2001 dot-com crash. Rather, you end up with chronic societal inequality where a small number of people end up with fortunes that everyone else thinks are implausibly large.

I don't agree with the statement that a glut in one area must equal a surplus elsewhere. You've added at interpretation to my statement.

If a person produces hot pink sweaters and finds nobody wants them, that doesn't mean there is a shortage of blue sweaters, or even sweaters in general.
Additionally, it might mean that people might want hot pink sweaters, but not at the price being asked.

Taking this back to labor markets, surplus labor (unemployment) is indeed oversupply, that much we are agreed. But you must break this down further - it is an oversupply of specific types of labor at specific rates. You could clear that labor oversupply by switching the supply by changing the type of labor being offered, and also by changing the price. For example I'd happily pay someone to do work for me at lower rates than currently offered, but that market doesn't usually clear. Changing the price doesn't happen often for regulatory reasons or stickiness, but changing the nature of labor supply often does. It's just that the timescales involved involve a lot of problems.

The solution to that is to identify reason why mal investment occurs and to avoid anything that contributes to it. I don't think it can be totally avoided due to human nature - hubris, mistakes and misfortune - but you can certainly avoid some of the obvious ones, like rigging credit markets and trying to centrally plan economies.
I've thought this as well. I agree there's value in aiming too-high, but the amount of effort which has gone into ReactOS would have served Wine really well.
There's nothing new about this. Some people stopped associating with you because they didn't like your opinions, a story as old as humanity itself.
>Yes, there is, largely to a very poorly representative electoral system. Lots of elections doesn't make a well-functioning democracy, that takes elections which produce governments that are effectively representative.

Can you explain in what sense American government is not representative?

People freely choosing to vote for people that you don't consider to be in their best interests does not make a government unrepresentative.

There are a few factors that impact representativeness - gerrymandering and the ineligibility of felons and illegal immigrants, for instance, but all-in-all that impact is pretty minor. In particular, of course, at a local and state level, those impacts are reduced along with the scale. There's an unwarranted hyper-focus on federal government because it's the most visible and affects the most citizens, but for most people's day to day lives, it is the least important level of government.

If Americans have a divisive, gridlocked federal government that produces results nobody likes, that's the natural consequence of a divisive, gridlocked populace that doesn't know what it wants (lower taxes! more social security! balance the budget!), not un-representative government.
We have indeed seen it in action since 2008, to horrific results.

$9+ trillion in new public debt added in eight years, to go with ~$11 trillion in additional government spending, boosting federal spending by nearly 1/2, to achieve the slowest average growth in non-recessionary times in US history, and the slowest employment recovery in US history.

More typically you get examples like the governments of Japan and China, which over-spent by the trillions of dollars and misallocated resources on purpose to fake economic prosperity that doesn't really exist so their citizens don't get upset. To say nothing of the favor and bribe based system large governments always operate by - so eloquently demonstrated by the entirely worthless American Recovery and Reinvest Act - in which they choose to allocate resources to their favorite causes (or to build things that aren't even needed) instead of to the most productive outcomes.

China is providing an amazing example of how incompetent command spending always is in an economy. Inevitably when the tide goes out, the fraud begins to reek. In the case of China, they've been busy arresting people to make it look like they're doing something about the vast corruption they've caused through distorting the economy to a truly massive degree. They caused the problems, and then arrest people for their own incompetence. The big difference with the US, is the US doesn't arrest its executives based on the mistakes the Fed made in intentionally creating asset bubbles that inevitably collapsed.

Not all other prices are set by competition. There's much manipulation through things like subsidies, tariffs, tax incentives, and bailouts.

Also, having lived in Singapore for years, it's a wonderful city and I love it, but the wage story isn't necessarily one to mimic. It might look grand as a foreigner, but your cleaning lady is probably sharing a 3 bedroom apartment with 16+ other women and doesn't see her family more than a few times a year.
> It's also because V8 performance is laughable.

Compared to what? Objective-C? Dalvik? (JavaScript VMs generally achieve better performance than those for systematic reasons.)
This is a pretty narrow view of things. I had a couple decades worth of negative "earnings per share" before graduating from college and getting a job.
> Frankly, I think belief in the supernatural should be screenable in an employment application

If you apply this fairly, it would exclude a lot of people. For example, I meet a lot of people folks here on HN that believe in "human rights" or "natural rights" that don't arise out of legal documents. But if you cut someone open, you can't find any "natural rights" in there, nor has anyone provided experimental evidence characterizing the physics of "natural rights."
There's a ton of shared code between Wine and ReactOS. They are rather complementary.
A good point. I did some HTML for my elementary school when I was a kid, and the local newspaper put me up as a 'whiz kid' on their front page. Not that anything I did was shockingly complicated in the slightest, even for the web of that era. Journalists hype stuff, that's nothing new.

I would say that the relevant question to this article would be if they should be accepted into the broader academic journals and conferences if they are explicitly biased. They have every right to enforce a bias, but then they have no right to be thought of as scientists and researchers by the public at large.
Err... I guess I used the word want loosely. I meant demand.

Savings are just postponed consumption, but if the consumptions of multiple people never align (you could save until you're dead) the aggregate demand will never rise to a high level.
Unless you want to put the word some in there your hypothesis/belief is easy to falsify/repudiate.

> let's say I want to work on an open source project done in fossil....How do I do this?

You clone the repo, open it into a working directory, and turn off autosync. Then all changes made to the repo affect only your local instance.

If you think there's a chance that you might want to send your changes back upstream, you should probably work on a branch. Then when it comes time to send your changes to someone with checkin rights on the repo you cloned from, you can use a feature that is unique to Fossil, as far as I know, called bundles. (http://fossil-scm.org/xfer/help?cmd=bundle) It is essentially a slice of the Fossil repository that someone else can integrate into their own repo, not unlike a pull request on GitHub.

I actually prefer to think of Fossil bundles as uber-patches, since they record not only the textual changes to the repo, but also file modes, the full checkin history, checkin comments, file removals and additions, etc. Basically, it fixes every weakness of patch(1).

> I don't understand where the advantage is

The advantages are listed on or linked from the front page of the Fossil web site: http://fossil-scm.org/

For me, the biggest single advantage is the simpler day-to-day working model, but maybe you will find another virtue that you prefer.
I didn't vote on your comment but I can't make enough sense out of it to write a refutation. There is a sort of "evolution is only a theory" flavor to the whole thing.
> When I was living in San Francisco, I've been literally run out of coffee shops, restaurants and parties after the wrong person finds out I'm pro-gun.

Come to Seattle, in my RPG group we had 2 people conceal carry and visits to the local range are a common activity for all political persuasions.

One night one of my players brought in a collection of knives he'd just purchased. The MtG players next to us did look a bit.... unsettled as we handed around all the various new sharp toys that'd been brought in.

I've seen plenty of people on the right proclaim that "all atheists should be removed from the country" or that "if you aren't Christian you are a traitor to the nation."

The people you are complaining about and the people I am complaining about are all authoritarian, that is the problem, not the left/right spread. The people who cause problems are those who think someone should be in charge and be dictating the rules that everyone must follow.

The actual set of rules being dictated is fairly arbitrary.
No, most colleges were extraordinarily inexpensive at the time Jobs was going. You could pay for it entirely with a part-time job.
No. The new part is that even people I didn't offend with my sensibilities are not associating with me on an automated basis.
So, basically, we should restructure our entire economy so some multi-millionaire's luxury vehicle and lawn won't flood on an island?

Or ... spend hundreds of billions to save a wealthy municipality hundreds of millions?
This seems like a common point in this thread with which I respectfully disagree.

While I'm sure we all support the notion that there is social good in reducing income inequality in the U.S. and improving quality of life for all, consumers in lower tax brackets will tend to spend additional income on staples, marginal quality-of-life improvements and servicing past debt. While this spending (increased aggregate demand) can't be bad, it doesn't necessarily distribute the capital _efficiently_.

Meanwhile, as you put, the high earners who "save" (read: invest) their excess income are precisely those who stimulate the economy effectively, as they are typically more able to efficiently allocate investments. I make this broad-brush assumption based on personal experience and some research I read years ago I don't have the time to look up right now. But basically think about this: if you had $100 to invest, would you rather ask a hobo on the street or Bill Gates (let alone Ray Dalio)? This "sophistication factor" is relevant, I believe. Add in the fact that lower-income consumers are almost certain to spend the excess capital in a predictable but not necessarily efficient way, and it's fairly easy to make the argument that aggregate demand would best be created by a.) efficiently distributing capital to b.) create new and profitable enterprises that c.) create demand both domestically and internationally, and d.) purchases are made (demand is created) for those innovative new products/services using e.) the money earned by workers paid by the companies that just created them. (f. what a mouthful.)

Now we've not only increased demand but added to the whole pie via foreign trade. And gets us back to the point mentioned above that the quality of what we create directly impacts demand for it -- and you can't really get around that fact either.
People Paid $600 a Month to Live in This Truck in San Francisco
I'm not at all concerned about economists who are "for" or "against" the minimum wage. They can hold whatever opinions they want if they don't lie.

It's the economists who poorly design studies with the intent of demonstrating that it either causes prices to rise uncontrollably (which it doesn't), causes unemployment to rise (which it also doesn't) and who pointedly never, ever, ever look at the effect it has on profits (it is savage towards profits, which is why the marketing budgets for stuff like this gets approved: http://kron4.com/2014/07/18/new-sf-billboard-says-workers-wi...).

They all know where the money is in their profession: it's at ideological corporate think tanks. If you can tread the fine line between not lying and saying things which they really like you've got a good career ahead of you.

As it happens, 'moral' arguments that say that you shouldn't raise the minimum wage work better when you can claim that it will hurt the people it is designed to help. Those arguments fall flat on their face when it becomes apparent that raising the minimum wage just transfers profits into workers' pockets directly.
there is no such thing as a good time to short bonds :)
I think if you don't make a whole lot of money (like retirement is going to be kinda scary) and you're living in the house you're planning on dying in, paying it down makes sense. it's a very easy way to hold on to some wealth and get to the point that you don't have house payments anymore. maxing out 401k is better, you'll end up with more money, but there's some real security in outright ownership.

Paying down the mortgage with the rates we have now, aside from personal security, don't make much sense to me. If you're in an ARM and the payment keeps creeping up, then yeah, it's a better move to pay down early.
It's fairly well understood that most organizations exist to perpetuate themselves. If GW doesn't exist a whole tonne of organization cease to exist, just as if GW does exist a whole tonne of organizations cease to exist.

Oddly, you'll find that organizations opinions on GW align fairly well with their source of funding.

GW is a hugely political topic, and in my estimation has little to do with hard science anymore.

B2 has plenty of limitations, too. Like being single datacenter. I wouldn't disqualify it from a list like this just because it's "different".

Each of the services on the list have their upsides and downsides, and none of them are anywhere near apples-to-apples.

What they all are are cloud-based key-value storage, each with their own tradeoffs, including price. So include all the major ones so your clients can make an informed decision and you don't look like you're completely unaware of your own competitive landscape.

Hopefully the point I was making was apparent that no education level, working class, economic status, or any other classification I'm omitting has a monopoly on deriding others not like them.

There's no need to focus on the example I used. To reply, though, this is something I've encountered in Southern Georgia and I'll say that a) it may have to do with my physical appearance and b) it really isn't bothersome or overly mean spirited. I don't get too hung up on anything like that.
Does this mean that the way to reduce congestion on a highway is to reduce the number of lanes?

Another approach, no being tried in the Seattle area, is to meter each lane and automatically charge tolls depending upon many factors. It will be interesting if that has any effect on congestion.

It's not a belief. I said "...may limit your capacity to effectively perform your job." Providing a list of Christian scientists does not disprove my statement. Obviously being religious doesn't necessarily mean you will perform at a lower level relative to your peers.

But to borrow from Sam Harris, if you met a scientist who openly admitted to believing Elvis is still alive, would you hold the same opinion of them professionally?

An OEM Windows 7 disc is under $50 at Amazon now (down from $80 which is what I paid a couple of months ago). At a certain point, why not just buy the real thing and not have to fuss so much about compatibility? Almost every recent Mac can bootcamp Windows now, and Linux can also dual-boot, or else maybe install it to VirtualBox.

That's also why I've stopped updating my Crossover for $40 every year or two. Basic laptops and desktop boxes are so cheap these days that it becomes a question of whether your time is worth fussing around with compatibility software.
Economists are agents of bourgeoisie capitalism, then. Alright, I'll end here.
This point can't be overemphasized. People who are installing smart lighting in their homes are probably not idiots who are incapable of reading or understanding a simple compatibility warning. They are not going to blame Dell or Microsoft or Comcast or whoever Grandma calls when something doesn't work. They are well-off technically literate early adopters -- literally the last people in the world that Philips can afford to alienate if they want to be in this business.

Every single comment that conflates Philips Hue users with the average barely-literate technophobe who blames random companies for everything that goes wrong with their computer is completely wrong.
A lot of the GP's concerns are around libraries breaking compatability, and upgrading deps being hard, but Go doesn't exactly have all the answers in that regard.
