I know I'm a tiny fish in the game, but because of the behaviors of Red Hat employees, I am disenclined to purchase products they make, and even use Linux as a whole. People ask my advice, I give it, but don't have control over pursestrings, or anything like that. However, the behavior of Red Hat employees, like Poettering, Sievers, and Drepper before them makes me believe that Red Hat is not an organization that does a good job of creating leaders. The aforementioned people are poor stewards of projects, showing poor technical decision making and poor communications ability, and it reflects poorly on the organization as a whole.

Poettering, being a high profile employee of Red Hat, is one of the faces of the company. Because of this, I would argue that Red Hat has a duty to step in from time to time to tell him that what he is doing is harmful in the long term. If they don't do it soon, I can almost guarantee there will be a lot fewer support contracts for Red Hat in the months and years to come; they just don't create dependable developers.

Depending on what you care about, either everything or nothing. Some interesting things I find useful:

* Multiple load-balancing schemes (round robin, least conn, first, balance-on-src-ip, balance-on-uri, balance-on-uri-param, balance-on-header-value, etc)

* Advanced health-checking (out of band, script-based, remote socket based, HTTP send/expect, etc)

* Really, really easy HTTP request and response manipulation

* Generic counter support - think something like "rate limit request based on the average number of requests over the last 5 minutes that all had this random URL param". That's a contrived example, but it's easy in HAProxy.

* Fantastic ACL support. You can even dynamically update them on the fly based on a response from an upstream server, if you so wanted. Not that you should, but you could.

Honestly, you can do most things you'd need in nginx these days. But HAProxy tends to do it just as well, and in a much, much more flexible manner. And in some ways, the ACL support and terseness of the configuration allows you to write out really complex behavior in ways that would be annoying or difficult in nginx.

From react-router-redux's readme:

redux-router is another project which solves the same problem. However, it's far more complex. Take a quick look at the code for this library—it's extremely minimal. redux-router is much bigger and more complex.

That said, redux-router is a fine project and has features this doesn't provide. Use it if you like it better.
An AI doesn't have to understand the world in order to destroy it. It needs to be hooked up to the one technology which could credibly destroy the world: a nuclear weapons system. A very poorly designed nuclear weapons system that doesn't have any meaningful interlocks.

Myself, I'm going to remain much more worried about the natural intelligences which have been hooked up to nuclear weapons systems.
>You can't deny the fact certain foods, like processed meat, surely have a causal relationship to cancer, probably also heart disease and diabetes

Based on what? Your gut feeling?

>getting cancer from tofu

There aren't case studies of people getting cancer from anything. There are studies of large population behavioral patterns and comparisons of cancer rates between patterns. So to check the tofu thing, you need people that consistently eat tofu compared to people that behave the same in other regards except for the tofu. That's very difficult because someone who eats tofu is generally going to have a significantly different diet from someone who doesn't.

>The paper doesn't categorize low-fat vegan diets

The point wasn't to do a systematic review of the literature, but rather to counter your argument whereby those skeptical of the lipid hypothesis are equivalent to climate change deniers.

If you're actually interested in this stuff, I invite you to cultivate a genuine interest in the matter and use this nifty little link to get to all the paywalled papers your heart desires: http://sci-hub.io/

Further, I'd be happy to share what I think good guidelines are for separating wheat from chaff in nutritional epidemiology studies.

>Also, the B12 boogeyman? Just take a weekly supplement and be fine.

I mean no disrespect, but I find this answer to be as comical as it is widespread. In one fell swoop, you've (A) implied that vegan diets are not balanced (B) ignored the body of literature surrounding the (possible) toxicity of artificial vitamins (C) undermined your sustainability argument. Moreover, B12 is but one example; I again invite you to make liberal use of sci-hub, pubmed and google scholar.
This is simply wrong on a number of important facts.

Eh, I think it's indeed more of an intellectual curiosity than anything else, but personally I cannot support enough our encroachment on the ocean. It truly is the last frontier on the surface of the Earth that we have yet to reliably explore.

Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) have a lot more potential to expand our understanding of this planet and I think it is exciting. Just because we can't go there doesn't mean we can't tap into its power.

At the risk of sounding like a BBC documentary, the oceans are the engine of this planet and they deserve to be investigated thoroughly.

> passing or failing on codility means nothing. it just means the company trying to interview you through codility has no idea how to interview you.

I didn't say it was a fault with codility. Some companies, like your's, use it in a sensible way. But I think there are many companies which use this tool the wrong way. Anything except the easy level takes more time for someone who doesn't practice these kind of challenges every day. Moreover correct algorithm only scores 50%. 100% score can only be achieved upon perfect optimizing, which is very hard to do within 30 minutes. And your can't know which edge cases tests are failing until the solution is submitted after which its not possible to edit/correct it.

I think because the body becomes something to hack, they're often already adventurous eaters, and smart people sometimes fall into the trap of believing their intelligence applies equally well to areas outside their expertise (ex: the physician who thinks they can pick stocks, or the programmer who thinks they know more about cholesterol than a cardiologist.)

This stance ignores what happens when people are complacent over the long term. If we make it easy to run SGX instructions, that will encourage its use by developers, which leads to more closed source dependence.
Assuming they have ways around some of those issues this could work out rather well. The important thing is that it's only a research project. Microsoft's research turns out some really awesome stuff but plenty of it failed or is cut. Who knows what'll happen to this but it's a really interesting proposition!
Yep I misread "a nobody" as "nobody".
I am still left with the same thought as yesterday's article, why was the decision made to mount efi as a filesystem in the first place? It's obviously dangerous to mount it when there are unintentional interactions that can have extreme effects. A library approach such as how FreeBSD does is much safer.
This reminds me of why I switched away from React. I spent two weeks on a tutorial, and by the third week all of its recommendations had fallen out of favor. And here a project is created to provide some sort of stable React-based framework, and it's "doing routing wrong".

YMMV but for me React's good parts did not overcome the frustration of feeling like I was building on sand.

I don't mean to say React is unstable - React is great. It's just that the ecosystem and tooling is too ephemeral for me. Life this too short to worry about whether x, which I incorporated into by processes yesterday, will be supplanted by y tomorrow.
I think Japan stopped growing rapidly partly because they'd caught up with the west and couldn't keep transforming by copying more developed countries. I don't think China's there yet. Maybe if their gdp/capita goes from $6.8k (China) to $39k (Japan) that will be the case but there's a way to go.

That is a huge reason I'm interested in Rust for backend web programming. I love the ease of use NPM provides when it comes to installing dependencies. Installing libraries is definitely a pain point in something like a C++ project. Cargo is like NPM but the end result is a native executable.

And if you have a lot of users, Rust can help lower your monthly bill by requiring fewer resources. The safer memory guarantees from the compiler is a great bonus on top of all that.
Many (probably most) of these optical illusions can be translated to the real physical world. Not surprising, it just requires situations that are outside the normal experiences of the human brain, especially in the ancestral environment. For instance:

Those are the only two lines of thought? Don't be INSANE. Where the hell do people get this shit from, bad sci-fi movies? I'm sorry, I don't really mean you're actually stupid or anything, it's just.... HOW ON EARTH could anyone with a passing familiarity with computer science possibly arrive at this sort of expectation? I don't understand!!

The powers of a GOD? What does that even mean? No AI is going to be able to go "Let there be light!" and make there be light. Heck, no AI is going to be able to go "I will hack into this camera and spy on you!" without either spending the requisite CPU-hours to crack the passwords or encryption protecting it, or analyzing all its attack surface for weaknesses like a hacker. Computational complexity is REAL, P does not and never will equal NP (we just don't know how to prove it yet), and there are real physical limits on the computing power that you can fit inside a given volume and its energy budget.

AT ITS BEST, an AI will have the same powers as a civilization of humans working together using computers the old-fashioned way, only faster.

Right, of course. But ultimately debts are paid back through energy creation, natural resource extraction, tangible assets, and human labor. The accounting details of fractional reserve banking in a debt based monetary system aside, that is a huge sum of human labor that governments have promised... and if that money ever gets paid off it will require the global workforce to work for decades to do it... I would hardly call that a "savings glut".
Microsoft loves to hype these things; remember container data centers? It all makes for nice reading, but I suspect their TCO is crap.
I suppose it would depend on what you'd qualify as "the ocean". I lived in Seattle for 4.5 years, and while I don't consider Elliot Bay[1] to be "the ocean" per se, it's pretty close - and you have all the corrosion problems and general exposure to the elements that you'd get, which I think was the original point of the comparison in this thread.

The best way to find out if you like Elixir is to give it a try.

You could do a poll of every developer and still have a different experience yourself. Most designers of new-ish languages know that accessibility is crucial to adoption, so they make it easier than you might think.

I personally have used lots of dynamic and static languages, and I will never go back to dynamic typing if I can help it. It's just a disaster when the code base gets really large and/or mediocre developers are working on it. For teams, the stricter the language is, the better. That's why I'm really enjoying TypeScript for now and looking forward to using Rust in the future (both for backend web development).

I'm about to embark on some experiments with isomorphic TypeScript apps, and that might be pretty revolutionary (and postpone my Rust experiments) because it allows me to use one pretty great language for the whole stack.

Wasn't the fear of such bloat developing on Linux one of the main reasons why so many/few people were against systemd?

Many regular (and somewhat tech-minded) individuals may not fully understand the issue, but this issue was a problem that crept up due to pure coincidence that somebody tried to rm -rf something, otherwise that bug would linger like how OpenSSL bugs did.

I also really wish the pro-systemd crowd would stop attacking anybody that does not agree with their views. Linux was and always will be about community, and if you alienate the rest of the users, freedom means they will (and probably should) move on, even if 90+% of Linux-variants now use systemd.

I agree that the data center generates the same amount of heat no matter where it's placed. But like we've seen with power plants, heating water tends to have far more serious environmental consequences than heating air.

If I don't want to use voice calls or SMS messaging, these permissions are excessive.

I also can't distinguish between giving Ring permission to access all my contacts' details and send them to some third party, and giving Ring permission to associate ring IDs with contacts without exposing other details about that contact to Ring.

Also, you don't need storage permission to store app-specific data, only to access the "external" storage. (In general, this is the storage you see when you mount the phone over USB.) Presumably, this permission is to support copying an existing key from a PC.

Note that these problems are not Ring's fault, but caused by Android's permissions system. Fixing it in Ring would require splitting the app up into pieces for voice, sms, text, etc. Possible, but a lot of effort.
