I think all liberty loving individuals should learn a thing or two from NRA and Gun rights advocates on such issues even if they might hate NRA.

NRA and well knit group of Gun rights advocates (such as myself) concedes 0 space to the government irrespective of any shooting and casualties. Why cant we do the same for such cases ? One mad man shot some people and we want to build backdoor into iPhone threatening privacy and security of millions of Americans?

Idea is not to get into details of "FBI wants to protect Americans" but simply deny any legislative space to the politicians and executives. The moment people get into the trap of "we need to balance things out" the balance would invariably go towards government on long term, the idea is to simply "deny space" to FBI.

FBI (and full respect for them) should use the existing tools and methods to hunt terrorists and protect Americans. There is a good reason why FBI is expected to work under constraints, that is what makes them good guys. Else there are not really different from drug mafia.

Trick will lie in totally isolating government and security agencies behind the wall of 4th Amendment by stick to original interpretation. If we buy into the BS of "we need to find balance" or "constitution is a living document" then we will have to see US government becoming Chinese oppressive state.

Well... I would guess that you misunderstood me. I forget what is "understood", so that's my fault in the communication.

The process to get an H1B visa is the same no matter where you are located.

As you know, the best developers in the world head to the Bay area every year. Comparatively, it's fairly expensive with many companies looking to make as much impact as possible within a short amount of time.

If you're a company taking a chance with the cost of sponsoring and agreeing to a yearly contract for an H1B..where would you want to be?

We'll compare Atlanta and Silicon Valley just for fun. In Silicon Valley you would pay twice as much for salary and be ten times more likely to have your candidate approached (recruited) by competitors. Because of the higher cost of living, you had better be very sure that they have the skills set that you need now and ideally two years later after your company has grown significantly.

If you are in Atlanta, it's half the initial investment. It's less likely that they will be stolen. You can afford to train them (the cost of the senior developer is even less than half of the cost of Bay Area senior developers).

That's more what I meant. Does that make sense?
Years ago Comodo made a decent app. With updates I've noticed the software become scummier and less effective. I totally removed and CCleaned it away a few years ago.
Only at Google
I fear you are right. Go's simplicity, its pattern of having one and only one way of doing anything, is likely a product of its youth and unpopularity. As the years pass and its following grows, people will come along who want to do things differently, and the ecosystem will become richer but also more confusing.

Perhaps the best thing for the language would be for it not to become too popular.
So if I'm running iTerm2 Test release 2.9.date (current 2.9.20160206), does that mean I'm running the v3 beta?

Its version names are confusing.
They're probably already used Google customers as training unknowingly and now it's time to productise it and charge for it.
After two failed relationships I started to treat love as a logical decision.

I stopped calling the feeling I get when meeting a new person I get attracted to as love. You know, "having a crush" on someone, wearing the pink-sunglasses, butterflies in the belly, or whatever they call it. Love is still about feelings for me, but about other feelings than those.

It's about being able to completely trust each other. About sharing experiences. About understanding. About learning and growing together. These are the things that make me continuously happy in a relationship for long time.
I'm sure I'm missing iTerm2's big appeal, but every time I try to use it, I find myself going back to Terminal.app, which I find more responsive and just as featureful, especially when combined with zsh and a windowing manager. That's probably just because I'm familiar with it and I didn't come from tmux or anything similar, but I keep hoping I'll be "enlightened" at some point and realize the error of my ways ;)

> I'v had the misfortune of using btrfs in production with a few hundred machines on Ubuntu 14.04

You are not alone. btrfs seems to be kind of stable - as in does not corrupt itself anymore - with 4.2 but it's been a nasty ride.

It's an experimental filesystem that is neither complete nor stable yet. I wish this would be better communicated.

It's needless frustrating: If you search for btrfs you come across a few slide decks that tell you: It's fine you can use it... after the first strange problems you'll subscribe the mailing list and every other day there is some post that shines some light into strange behavior and stuff that is not implemented.

If you want checksumming on your single hdd backup disk btrfs is fine. For everything else you are up to some surprises... basically everything volume management and RAID is pretty much experimental and has strange behavior.

Performance is not even a topic. I remember the ML discussion on this OLTP blogpost and the majority of responses was: Don't run databases on btrfs you stupid! I'd rather would read a technical discussion about the problems but from reading the ML it seems like it's too complex and few understand the complexity.

@bcantrill called it a shit-show in some podcast and while it maybe technically not true it sure does looks like that.

If you want peace of mind use mdraid+ext4 (or xfs) - ZFS on Linux has a lot of problems for heavy usage but the community is IMHO more invested in making it a good Linux citizen.

On the other hand: This stuff is complicated and everyone expects miracles. I'm just looking at it from sysadmin perspective and on Linux both suck at the moment. But ZFS won't eat your data and has far better tooling.

If you need something that works for high load on Linux I'd use neither.
I would not read it if you called it a "productivity book". But maybe I misunderstand. Books with "tips, tricks, and techniques for more productive development" could include The Pragmatic Programmer, SICP, Hackers Delight, The Mythical Man Month, Programmers at Work, Unix Power Tools, Expert C Progamming, Release It!, Gang of Four, Art of Unix Programming, etc. I've read those and would read others like them. Probably the most like a "productivity book" I've read was Time Management for System Administrators. That was excellent, but I don't want to read more books on how to be organized, how to stay motivated, how to manage my TODO list, etc. That's what I think of when I hear "productivity book". Whichever your meaning, I would ask yourself what you have to contribute that hasn't been said already. It's hard to find new interesting things to say, but if you have something, best of luck to you!
Censorship, unfortunatey, happens even at the places you wouldn't associate with censorship.
> better alternative to fixing the problem than limiting people (who form corporations) of their first amendment rights.

That's the crux of the problem though. People who form corporations are granted free speech abilities that are beyond the means of everyone else. Those that own a corporation have no legal limit on the amount of cash they can lend to a political cause while those who do not have their allowed contribution amount capped.
anyone here could give the ideal dev environment for developping on mac and deploying on linux while programming with asp.net core ?
Sure,

Docker and Kubernetes are fine tools for deploying and orchestrating an application into an environment you have full control over (typical SaaS scenario). Our "distribution" of Kubernetes is optimized for running in "hostile" unknown environments with varied networks, storage, etc. It comes in HA-configuration with self-updating and self-monitoring turned on.

Secondly, once you have thousands of instances deployed across the globe, we give you unified and secure remote access to do ops in a scalable way. The true cost of going on-prem is not deployment (it's not that hard, you're right: Kubernetes does most of the heavy lifting).

The true cost of going multi-region/on-prem is operations. And, of course, the security complications that come with it. Our OpsCenter tackles this problem: it gives you access to thousands of absolutely identical instances of your app, while staying compliant with on-site security policies.

Give us a call, we'll have a solution engineer spend some time with your team and we'll do all of the integration work.

The end result: you have the same codebase which runs in your own 5 AWS regions, plus 5000 on-prem locations, and you don't need to:

a) fork your codebase
b) hire a ton of ops engineers
Speaking from high-assurance niche, C absolutely sucked for that in more ways than you can imagine. Like the recent NASA post, the reason they use C is tooling and available talent. Ridiculous amounts of manpower went into developing static analysis, testing, compilers, etc for C. The best talent in high assurance pretty much all know C, too, whether or not it's their default language. Almost all the hardware supports it, too.

So, a combo of top talent w/ a C history and tons of tooling made most of them go with C. Many others went with Ada/SPARK. A few small fish even use typed or structured assembler. C is only chosen due to tooling and "better the devil you know" philosophy. Work on superior languages got more results with less effort in both human and mechanical reviews, though. So, the inferior language is only used due to an accident of history.

Details on that here:

xterm can do inline graphics too, in the form of Sixel for raster graphics and ReGIS for vector graphics. At least those are sort of standard, in that they were used by real terminals and there are real specs for them.

The annoying thing is, even if terminals standardized on one protocol, none of them set $TERM or use terminfo properly. So there's no good way for programs to actually use these features, because you don't know if you're running in a terminal that supports them, or which escape codes to send to make use of them.
> Modest amounts of wasted time? Oh no.

Um, 52 hours * 50 states (insurance regulations are per state, normally) = 2500 hours. More than the number of work hours in a year.

That's a bit more than "modest".

The whole point of Zenefits was to consolidate the point of contact and thus reduce the expense through consolidation. That doesn't really work if you need a separate person per state.

Normally, I find myself staunchly on the opposite side of the argument from Zenefits; I think that Uber and AirBnB are being patently abusive in their actions. I find the fact that Zenefits was threatening the insurance industry, who are noted for being a huge bunch of assholes, far more palatable.

It goes to show that my views aren't as immutable or as charitable as I thought.

> (I think most people wouldn't be very good at welding after 50 hours of training and practice)

You'd be surprised. That's the right range for basic functionality for a lot of things. Even a Language 101 class is only about 100 hours, and you can normally ask for the bathroom and find basic directions afterward.
To be fair, almost everything else has a lot of work to do when compared to netty.
for small teams (mostly solo hackers) yes the run-print-change works;

for anything bigger, when code #reasonably# grows and span among 10+ developers, break-debug-change is much more productive than log.PrintLn all over the palces and figuring out myself, or interrupt my colleague to explain sth to me.

> challenges that being pro freedom of speech brings

Well, the thing is, reddit is a private company and so the classic "freedom of speech" definition does not apply to it. And while their goal was unrestricted discussion a few years back, in attempt to pave road for profitability they have abandoned that goal. The goal of reddit right now it to become as attractive to advertisers as possible. What that entails is up to them to decide. One of the effects is heavy moderation of anything controversial. They seem to be attempting to "play it safe". We'll see if it will pay off.
Not really. Need a replacement ignition key for your VW? You must go to the dealer to get it paired with the immobilizer via live diagnostic link to Germany. And right so IMO.

I suspect NASA chose C due to some combination of (a) the tiny verified subset they were using was secure; (b) it doesn't matter that much how secure your language is when you're spending countless sums to verify it anyway; (c) their people and/or their new hires had experience with C; (d) their systems were designed for it. None of these reasons are valid reasons to start a new, reasonably-budgeted, security-critical project in C.

I thought this was pretty fantastic. I would say it nailed much of the reason I ended up marrying the wrong person.

However, denial was a HUGE part that doesn't come up here. Every time in the run-up to the wedding that I experienced something that made me want to call it off, I told myself it was just cold feet, that all guys think that stuff. Denial. But I suppose this is more or less covered by the part about not knowing oneself. Definitely learned a lot about myself since then.

Two more things:

1) It's really not hard to get laid in your 30s. I outright disagree with that part.

2) For me at least, the divorce itself was nowhere near the emotional blow of realizing that I was married to someone who was wrong for me. Carrying that burden inside was soul-destroying. Talking in counseling about what wasn't working, and then ultimately getting divorced, was nowhere near as bad as that. But, I was only married for two years. It probably sucks a lot worse when you've bought a house and had babies and stuff.

Well, since I cannot just patch a library, I am a lot more worried about the implications of Go programs being the "unmaintainable, unfixable binaries".
I understand that thought process.

For clarity, you think it would be easier to get a H1B sponsor in the Bay area than the rest of the country combined?

If so, I'm interested to know what you think as far as experience. Would you think someone with 1-5 years experience (or 5-10 years experience) would have an easier time getting a H1B visa in the Bay area than other places -- say Austin or Boulder?

Thanks for the feedback
Apple isn't questioning the legality of the request based on 4th amendment concerns. Most requests from law enforcement ask a company to give up information they already have. What makes this unique is that the request is for Apple to decrypt the device -- an ability they do not currently have. Further, there is no law requiring Apple to have the ability to decrypt the device.

So this request is really a request for Apple to develop a way to break their own encryption, which brings up a lot of slippery slope concerns. If Apple can be forced by the government to develop a way to break into this version of their OS, what would stop them from being forced to develop cracks for other versions of their OS?

btrfs is not controlled by Oracle for one (its principal developers are employed by Facebook, but its still regular Linux GPLv2 code) but I did check and the APL is incompatible with the GPL.

I think I've addressed your concern below.
The problem in the Taiwan Straits scenario, the report points out, is that the U.S. has exactly one air base within 500 nautical miles of the strait — Kadena Air Base, on the Japanese island of Okinawa. There are other air bases in the region (in Korea, northern Japan, and Guam), but they all range from 800 to 1500 nautical miles away.

Something I remembered while reading this, is that Philippines is thawing a bit to the idea of the presence of USA war matériel. There aren't any bases open yet, and Subic Bay would still be 500 nm away from Taiwan, but if China continues as they have, a number of new opportunities might come up.

Yes, monogamy is usually framed as being good for women and detrimental to men when in fact it's been invented so that non-alpha males could mate; in a "natural" world, most (all) women would mate with the alpha male of the group, and all other males would not mate at all.

Therefore it shouldn't be unexpected that women who didn't get to marry the alpha male, are unhappy and eventually want out.

Having said that, as someone that uses some subreddits for forums there is exactly one thing that I'd like to see done for Reddit (and any other site with a downvote/dislike button).

If you click the downvote button it should instead prompt you to create a reply denoted as a dissenting viewpoint. You will then explain your rebuttal.

Separately, a 'Report Abuse' button would flag a post for moderation attention (but also include who's reporting the abuse). A moderator should be able to see the full edit-history of a post (within the last day, maybe week).
