something that could benefit humanity on the long term is a wider "operating temperature" range. With the planet's weather getting more extreme, and the long term possibility of finding other habitable planets with an atmosphere that might be several degrees off, a human that feels comfortable in a wider temperature range will need spend far less external energy to accommodate. Consider how much electricity can be saved if people felt as confortable at 25deg C as they do at 22deg C.
I think you've used an unconventional definition of "death" here, distinct from the one thus far used in this discussion.

Lack of change seems closer to death than change does.

But in any case, whatever definition of death you've used doesn't seem to relate in any way to the ones that people in this discussion have advocated eliminating.

Are you arguing about malicious attempts to mess up, or brick, your computer, facilitated by efivars presenting an interface accessible by simple shell scripts?

Well... If there would be an api requiring, for example, a special syscall (or maybe even uglier, an mmap of /dev/men), I'm 100% percent sure that the default install of all Linux distributions would include an /sbin/efivars command exposing this API to every shell script running as root... So nothing would be gained.

For safeguards against accidental damage, on the other hand, in completely in favour.
Not sure why this was donvoted. This is a perfectly valid complaint.

The download isn't HTTPS

The archives aren't signed.

And having to start some custom installer script is also not really trustbuilding. (Why can't the program simply stay within its folder?)
What JIRA 6.4 does is suggest preconfigured workflow templates. What JIRA 7 does is, separate software tracking (with Agile boards, Git branches, code reviews and builds) from service desk or basic ticket management.

What it doesn't do is require a workflow. It is possible to start with a Scrum wf, then progressively change it into a waterfall hyena with cumbersome required fields and impossible permission-based transitions. In fact, I've met many people who have the opinion that JIRA is cumbersome, just to discover that their sysadmin is a knee-jerk person who blocks any initiative within their entreprise using misconfigured software.

JIRA isn't opinionated in the sense of OP. OP suggests that saying "We use [Bug tracker name]" is equivalent to saying "We're Scrum with branch tracking and timetracking", because the bugtracker would enforce checks and a layout without much possible configuration.

For example, Trello or Bitbucket Issues are quite opinionated bugtrackers.

At the end of my junior year I was placed on academic probation, and later kicked out of college. At that point I considered quitting school for good, but ultimately begged my way back into school and completed that degree. Now I work at a reputable company making sweet money. Getting a degree was so worth it. Don't quit, just hang in there.
There is a pine tree that is almost 5,000 years old, and a number of plants "reproduce" by spreading out their root system where what we see as a multitude of plants is essentially one long-lived organism under the surface.

For humans (or at least for me), I think the main concern is really more of continuity of experience than maintaining a particular body configuration indefinitely. I.e. I would like to run into an old friend in 10,000 years and reminisce about that time we did something hilarious. It wouldn't be very satisfying to undergo a procedure that resets my body but wipes out my memories in the process.

No. CoreOS is a Linux distro focused on running applications packaged as containers (Docker or anything else) on top of it. It is so focused on running application in containers that it does not even have a package manager to install packages (Hence, they have different update/patching mechanism). Their whole philosophy is you run CoreOS as the base OS for your cluster, and run your applications on top of it packaged as containers. It also provides a bunch of tools for your cluster management and service discovery across containers/applications in your cluster.

PS: the above is a very summarized, focused answer to your question. CoreOS is also much more than what I have mentioned.

That being said, media (and its consumers) will continue to display a heightened interest in the dead because it gives them a sense of certainty to work with. That and our own mix of sad and voyeuristic attitude towards the dead.

Aaron's case in particular captivates the internet because of what he stood for, and what a lot of us hope to stand for. This article is highly relevant because as great as Aaron was, he had his shortcomings as well. And for those who really look up to him (including myself), it's insightful to look at them.
I don't know the specifics. But it's clear that he acted as if he were part of the MIT academic community.

Now that you mentioned it, the printer directly prints the decimal number in the accumulator, so it's unlikely it could print lyrics.

We could, however, build a music-box-like device that would "print" the accumulator as pair of pitch/duration notes, a "sound impression device", or SID.

That would certainly drive future historians nuts.

Microsoft's Windows Phone is dead
I wouldn't word it like that, but I think obrero definitely has a point. I mean, all this storytelling is pretty disgusting. Enjoy the read, look how pompous, how grandiloquent this is! Look at all this tragedy! And I mean not only the writer herself — the quote of the girlfriend, which serves as an epigraph is already too much.

And it's not just that I'm not a big fan of newyorker's style (even though I'm not), the whole read is composed in a very specific way. It isn't biographical, not documentary, it's more of an essay, purpose of which is not to tell Aaron's story as such, but the writer's story, with it's own premise and morale.

So what is this story all about? The suicide. And the whole Aaron's life is shown as a prelude to it. The suicide is the point, and the whole life is "an explanation" for it: story, which, we are given to understand, was likely to end with a suicide sooner or later. As the writer eloquently calls it — "the darker side".

It's easy to convey that, because it's a social norm to view a suicide as a tragedy, regardless of circumstances. But let us be cynical just for a minute and look at what happened: some guy was fighting for his ideals; the party he was fighting against was something way bigger than him, a mere mortal; he lost; he died. Suicide never was a big deal, apparently not for Aaron, anyway. What was a big deal for him: his war for the social justice. And, let's face it, there're plenty of other guys who end their lives with suicide, newyorker doesn't write about them. So, as a matter of fact, the suicide isn't a big deal for a newyorker as well, even though MacFarquhar won't admit it, maybe even to herself.

Yet it's made to look as if it is precisely what is the big deal and it's socially acceptable to display it that way. What the story really was about — the fight, and those on the other side of it — that we won't be thinking of, we won't discuss it, we won't remember it. Instead, it will be all about "a darker side" and a tragedy.

Regardless of whether what Aaron did or was doing was right or wrong, regardless of if he was a hero or just a fool — I think it's a pity. To take the most insignificant part of the story, and to make it The Story, because it's so easy to do that.

I agree that such system should be global / non-profit & free. We have also studied privacy issues surround such system in detail. A large motivation is that regardless of the privacy preserving technique employed the system is a huge improvement over current practices which involve sending out entire data to each individual research group.

Today a physician suspecting novel association e.g. Adverse event particular to a co-morbid condition. Usually has to wait multiple weeks for Ordering data from US government, Developing SAS scripts and finally conducting the study. Wrth our stack the underlying question can be answered within seconds. With enough legal permissions we can modify it to deliver only the required data, for further statistical analysis. Sure such a system might not be completely public, but there is nothing that prevents us from giving access to say all board certified physicians globally.

I'm biased because of my work, but neural interfaces for general purpose tasking or entertainment. Alot of fMRI/EEG/MEG research is focused on medical applications, but the funding cycle is tied heavily into medical related grants, and current applications meditation tasks that are popular generally wont get people excited (I've ran a lot of novice/experienced mediators who have started to fall asleep or become disengaged from a research task and who need continues human engagement to keep them in the mood…), nor convince people that what they are buying is worthwhile, unlike say buying $500+ gaming system and games people play for hours on end without having to convince someone of it working when they just get the immediate benefit. This could also help get more people from software or other engineering backgrounds more exposed to the field now and help push things forward faster.
> Systemd hate is en vogue these days

To be fair, Lennart Poettering could probably end war and famine forever in a single day, and some people would still find something wrong with that.

On the other hand a certain amount of skepticism and criticism is very much in order. (I am saddened, though, by the way online discussions so easily deteriorate into name-calling and bitter ranting.)

Just to be clear, I was highly skeptical of systemd initially, now I have two systems running Debian Jessie, and quite honestly I haven't noticed much of a difference one way or the other. So at least now I am more confident that we are not all going to die because of systemd. On the other hand, I wish there had been more initial coordination / portability work to make sure stuff like GNOME keeps working smoothly on *BSD as well.
I think I might have one but can't remember. Usually quite expensive. But I'll give it a try next time...

Possibly. I highly recommend John Kenneth Galbraith's short, highly readable, and extremely enlightening book on the 1929 stock market crash, The Crash: 1929.

But that doesn't actually exist by default, and so it's not a good example.

A better example is that `/` is a special case for `rm`.

My economics textbook in college was written for students who did not know calculus. I was a bit puzzled by two pages of fairly dense math in it. Examining it more closely, they essentially reinvented calculus using their own weird notation so they could calculate marginal returns, i.e. derivatives.

But hey, the textbook didn't require any scary prerequisites like calculus :-)

In the specific case of crypto, maybe they are concerned about leaking information through timing if they return early? Though even if you have only one exit point, that alone does not in any way guarantee that timing differences won't occur. For that, I think the same work must be done always and only at the very end it is decided whether or not the result is valid. Something like that. So maybe they have some other reason. Maybe it's just cargo cult programming.
> > Is this just for rich people or do poor people get to live for centuries too?

> "centuries" is far too short-term; "forever" is the goal, and "centuries" just buys enough time to get there. And of course that lifespan should be available to everyone. If the solution itself doesn't already imply a post-scarcity world, then it'll help that once you have a cure for aging, it's more economical to supply that to everyone than to treat the myriad complications that arise from aging. It's hard to get people to fund such a cure, but it seems far simpler to get funding for "we have a proven cure, let's get it to everyone".

You do know that every culture, since the beginning of time, has thought that they would live to be immortal in their lifetime. What makes you think you're different? Sure, you might have a better chance, but it's still a slim chance. Pining for a cure to aging rather than living your life is a sad way to spend something as short and precious as your life.

> > How would people remember everything?

> In the short term, curing aging seems likely to help greatly with many degenerative mental disorders. In the long term, I expect people will find increasingly successful ways to augment their own capabilities. I doubt I'll have the same brain structure a hundred thousand years from now that I do today, if only because I expect we'll eventually run out of effective ways to debug biology in-place.

> > How would you spend all that time? What would everyone do?

> What wouldn't everyone do? I don't have a finite "bucket list"; my list contains everything positive I can possibly imagine, with a sort order applied, and it will always grow faster than it shrinks. Quite apart from the rest of the universe, other people provide an unbounded source of novelty.

I don't think so. Wanting to live forever is a childish thing, it's a fear of death mixed with a type of greed. Actually living forever would be a greater hell than anything I can imagine. After the first few hundred years, when you realise that it's never going to end, after you've read every book and done all you've wanted to do, what then?

> Do you think people thousands of years ago would have asked such questions about a 120-year lifespan, and think it sounded too long?

No, because the maximum lifespan of a human hasn't fundamentally changed. The only difference is that more people are living to old age.
I worked this out in great detail, it took about a decade to get the bugs out. The problem is that it works well for founders and other people interested in the mechanics of running a company but it emphatically does not work for people who would rather 'just be paid'. Not everybody wants to be an active participant in the ownership portion of a company, plenty of people simply want a job and a paycheck and that's it. (And to make it explicit: there is absolutely nothing wrong with that, just like not everybody needs to know or wants to know how to fix their car in order to be able to use one.)
Ask HN: Launch bash with combination of input arguments
Hi HN,

I need to run a bash script with all the possible combination of input arguments.

To be clear something like this but with way more arguments:

./test 1 "aa" 7
./test 1 "aa" 8
./test 1 "bb" 7
./test 1 "bb" 8
./test 2 "aa" 7
./test 2 "aa" 8
./test 2 "bb" 7
./test 2 "bb" 8

I could simply use a bash loop but I remember that there was some nice tool to achieve this, and I discovered this tool in some article a while ago here on HN.

Some of you can recall what tool it was ?
Hosing a system is a way different than bricking a motherboard.

Hosing a system is something that can be fixed by root by reinstalling from scratch or restoring from backup. Bricking hardware is not something a sysadmin can fix by himself.

Someone who doesn't get the difference between deleting the content of a drive and rendering hardware inoperable shouldn't be in charge of a critical system component.

As great as Ritchie was, he never stood a chance. There are a number of relevant reasons to bash Jobs but to say that he overshadowed Ritchie's death is one of the more stupid ones. Dennis Ritchie was mourned by those who respected and adored him regardless. His death would have only received a minuscule amount of increased attention than it did probably had it not coincided with Jobs' death.
Moreover, his death probably received even greater attention due to the increased effort people have put in since to highlight him.
Contrary to the other feedback you seem to be getting, these are really nice - thanks for sharing!

I wonder if people are maybe missing that these are concepts and not fully developed designs, so they aren't perfect. It's like a concept car: there are ideas and themes that will make it to production, even though there would be extensive changes to productionise them. And that's pretty useful to see.
