Very easy upgrade from 8.4.3 to 8.5 on Ubuntu using the omnibus packages. I did have to install bundler in my system Ruby (I have RVM on the system; the install scripts executed via apt-get apparently doesn't care), but that was the only hiccup.
Well, it would have to wipe the keys to update the firmware. Alternatively the update process could ask for the password/passcode.

I agree with you, but even if you install something open source you're still trusting the hardware, so at the moment there's basically no practical method of not trusting any hardware vendor at all. Obviously when you get all your hardware and software from the same vendor then it makes a move on the government's behalf much more practical for them.
(1) I'm not sure self-driving machines will actually need that much more infrastructure. For one, driver training would be less necessary, and car utilization could go up.

(2) assuming they did require infrastructure, what does Africa's future population has to do with it? Random person does not matter (taking "random" as "uniform"), random car buyer does -- either they have enough cars which would make the infrastructure worthwhile, or they don't, in which case they can be safely ignored for all car-related purposes.

It could be that (i) things like bad roads make things difficult for self-driving cars, while (ii) labor is very cheap and everyone who can afford a car can afford a personal driver. It would still mean a fairly small ratio of cars per capita, but I don't think anyone predicts that self-driving cars will ever completely replace human drivers :)
"To save a child from malnutrition costs only $10 per year."

This reminds me of jokes I've heard where pretty much everything (no mater how absurd) could be made looking better or worse depending on the frame of reference which (as you'd probably guessed) was involving those poor starving children. On a more serious note, the starving children are such an effective demagogic ammunition, aren't they? Almost too convenient to completely eradicate!
When do you guys think you'll tackle Quebec? There's a tech scene here, tons of people would jump on-board instantly (as well as help develop it).
Did Mars figure prominently in the plot? I read the book exactly six years ago and loved it, but I have no idea why you are quoting it here.
I'd love to try GitLab out, but the OSX installation instructions [1] are a bit of a put off. I'm not even sure if that's the right URL, but it's where google takes me. The instructions refer to a "runner"; I'm not really sure I understand what that is, and it's not explained anywhere. The "ci" makes me think this is something to do with continuous integration, so I'm really not sure if this is the right thing to be looking at.

The instructions also say "(In the future there will be a brew package)"; this is sorely needed!

"Can a single human produce output equivalent to 50 engineers? I would argue no."

One man can outperform 50 engineers (even 10 000) and often do.

Look at Microsoft market cap after Satya Nadella became CEO. Their market cap raises about ~100 billions dollars. You could argue that he did nothing significant and it's all about engineers but after Steve Ballmer board members didn't change engineers - they change executives.

Probably 50 engineers of Apple have bigger impact on Notes app than Tim Cook, but Apple don't earn so much only because that app. It's all about vision and direction, and this is why good CEO will always earn much more than engineer
An Interview with Rob Wilson, IT Manager, Daramalan College
> Who should I talk to about the position?

Try speaking with the internal recruiter first on an informational basis, see if the hiring manager might be amenable to your background. The recruiter should understand this is a confidential personnel matter.

Make the conversation about the position, the hiring manager, and HOW you might be able to help THEM. It's their needs, not yours.

Some companies have healthy promote-from-within-the-ranks cultures. Assuming that is not the case here. No need to involve your current boss unless the hiring manager wants to extend an offer.
> Here is the thing though: most pages do not have any such content.

Why are you there then? The fact that you spend your time there, that you spend both your bandwidth, your cpu time, etc.. and theirs, means there's something "valuable", it's probably way less than a cent, but it's value.

That's the beauty of ads, even though the value isn't much, it's still enough. I don't want to pay 0.1 cent, but that ads does it for me.

> But every visitor wishes for that outcome.

That's freak, stop going there if you wish for their death!

Yes. The problem is the damn tax code changes every year (see: Intuit's lobbying) and you need to pay for an army of lawyers for when you get it wrong.

Yay python, don't need to install (another) giant runtime. Looks like healthy competition though.
I agree a bit more information about yourself and your plans would be interesting. It doesn't have to be much, you can look at what other publishers are doing in this space. For example Mothership Zeta [0] which is positionning a bit differently, has short FAQ and submission guidelines. It's not much more content than on your page, but they hit on all the important points for writers.

I'm the opposite and will use the Prime Same Day if it is free, even if I know I will not need the item for a week. I pay for Prime and I want the 2 day delivery I paid for. If it's not profitable that's Amazon's problem, not mine.

Where you got the idea that I assume the ENB has to be on other side of the world ?
You make a lot of sense...but I'm afraid I must run into the "wrong" category.

The thing is, the topic under question is usually pretty pointless (see "deceased" example above, or my musing about how the first time bread "raised" must have been freaky, or any such thing).

While learning a piece of trivia is _nice_, it's rarely as interesting as the act of speculation. Because I'm not really (all that) interested in the question at hand, I'm teaching myself (and regularly exercising the ability) to NOT KNOW, to DESIRE KNOWLEDGE, and to ACCEPT THAT SOME THINGS ARE BEYOND MY GRASP. It's good to find that somethings ARE in my grasp (answer someone gave about about "deceased" was the first time I've had that question answered!), but I get that lesson a lot in life.

When I wrestle with the "big" questions (What should I do with my life? Am I happy right now? Why did this terrible thing happen to me? Does existence care about me? Why do I care if it does?) some comfort with the unknowable is good. When I'm dealing lesser "big" questions (Am I actually good at this, or am I just faking it and haven't be caught yet? Am I an insensitive ass to people around me? Can I really buckle down and get this project completed? Why the heck do people vote for <INSERT POLITICIAN HERE>?) I likewise want to have experience with both being able get answer as well as NOT being able to get answers.

Learning is awesome. I love it. But I also need to be good at dealing with wanting to know, or dealing with being unable to know. Around me I see too many people of many ages that aren't interested in things they can't easily learn.

To be fair though, these are the people who "tell" the market what a product should or should not be. If they say they expect AI to replace workers faster and faster, it means that's what they want AI to do, that's where the market is going -- and where the market goes, technology will likely follow one way or the other.
I think that's why a lot of people wind up on OSX. You get the CLI environment you're used to with Linux, but rarely lose half a day because a driver upgrade broke your desktop.
> This is the worst idea not proposed in jest that I have ever read.

Well, I can think of worse ideas not proposed in jest (some of which have been implemented), such as the Bush tax cuts.

Of course, many of those worse ideas come from the same general (or, in the specific case of the Bush tax cuts, in part the same specific) place. [0]

>The Uber driver have absolutely no way of building a business or expanding it. No way of making more money. No way of hiring people. No control over which car to use and so on.

They have strictly as much or more opportunity to do all of these things than if Uber didn't exist. Driving for Uber doesn't stop you from doing other drive-for-hire work. And because Uber exists, they can at least make some money when they aren't getting any customers of their own.
In my application I do this using tables in the database. The database has a roles table, a permissions table, a roles_permissions table and a roles_users table. When a user it looked up, a JOIN is done to pull in all the permissions assigned to all the roles, then there's a configuration that specifies with permission is required to access each API call.

This allows us the flexibility of adding additional roles and permission combinations without making any code changes.
The Best Startup Advice You’ll Ever Receive
Yeah, for this idea to work as transportation, you really need lasers at both ends: one to accelerate the ship, and other to decelerate.

So it doesn't really solve any problems of initial colonization (beyond fly-by surveys), but it could be used for commerce once a colony has already been established.

You'd also probably want the lasers based on the moon: no atmosphere but large enough not to fly off in the opposite direction.
I wanted to get the most popular letters in a convenient swipe gesture or in the middle regions to be accessible from both thumbs. Another data I looked at is bigram frequency to have sequential input from both thumbs. For example "the" is using the left, right and then left finger again.

There is no predictive method, maybe in the future.
Yes, though easily fixed:

alias howdoi="howdoi -a -c "

The other improvements from how2 being a curses app are helpful though.
A bold proposal indeed from Mr. Conda.

It is a melancholy object to those who walk through this great city, or travel in the country, when they see the streets, the roads, and cabin doors, crowded with beggars, all in rags and importuning every passenger for an alms. These beggars, instead of being able to work for their honest livelihood, are forced to employ all their time in strolling to beg sustenance for their helpless infants: who as they grow up also turn thieves for want of work.

I think it is agreed by all parties that this is, in the present deplorable state of the country, a very great additional grievance; and, therefore, whoever could find out a fair, cheap, and easy method of making these beggars sound, useful members of society, would deserve so well of the public as to have his statue set up for a preserver of the nation.

The only two reactions to this news seems to be cynicism and praise. I think both voices in response to Apple's letters are valid and useful for improving user security in the future, and yet incomplete by themselves.

Sure, Apple should be praised for refusing to give government agencies the ability to unlock an iPhone, but a significant part of their motivation is not altruistic. It's in Apple's self-interest to make a stand in this case, but we can't always trust corporations to prioritize customer privacy over caving to government pressure.

Similarly, Apple has already admitted that a backdoor exists for all iPhones. In my opinion, this is an inexcusable security hole at best, and at worst an implication that Apple intended at some point to comply with government requests for encrypted information. However, the fact that the FBI has made this request in the first place, and that Apple is in a position to decline (at least initially) and make it public, is a good sign that the three-letter agencies may not be as all-knowing as some may fear.

Sorry, native speakers with language privilege will never give up on the idea that they speak "real" English, and the the "bad" English non-native speakers speak among themselves is anything other than a bastard pidgin.

What international business English would need is dictionaries, grammars, lesson courses, and people willing to have their kids speak it INSTEAD OF British- or American-standard English.
From the link: "Google is partnering with carriers and OEMs to offer a messaging client for Android that supports SMS, MMS, and RCS, and will be based on the universal profile. The client will be interoperable with any RCS-compliant client across any platform."

I had a feeling that link would be George Weidman before I clicked on it. Was not disappointed. =) Metal Gear Solid 2 is one of the more amazing things I've ever played, and George's video about MGS2 is awesome, if a little bit overwrought. I was a big fan of Metal Gear (I'd emulated an MSX to play the originals), loved MGS, and liked MGS2 when it came out, but that might have been because it was more Metal Gear Solid. Despite being a "hardcore fan", as the OP would put it, I never felt disappointed or betrayed by MGS2. And, in retrospect, I've learned to like it more by what it tried to do. Ambitious games deserve respect for their ambition insofar as attempts to push outward and expand gaming as an art form, and MGS2 pulls off its goals better than it probably should have.

Today, I find it's one of the better popular-gaming litmus tests for whether or not somebody treats games as experiences to which critical analysis can be applied. (One doesn't have to like the game, there are lots of reasons not to even if I happen to, but does one get the thrust of it?)

I do work on communication skills and I will continue to do so. This is solid advice for all technical workers.

But I would also like to add that I have often been complimented by my bosses on my ability to communicate technical concepts in very entertaining and understandable ways. At one recent interview, an HR representative from the firm told me that the only feedback she received that was better than the feedback about my technical skills was the feedback that I would "mesh instantly" with the team and they all enjoyed my sense of humor. Sadly, that role was only budgeted to pay around 50% of what I had earned previously and there was no way to compromise.

I have occasionally worked in situations where a manager disapproved of my proactive nature and I need to improve my communication skills in those situations. It is very reminiscent of the type of situation from a recent research paper [0] about how extraverted managers tend to suppress the talents of proactive, introverted subordinates.

Thus far, I feel my communication skills have been one of my strongest assets and strongest attractive features for potential employers. But I do agree that I (like anyone) need to continue to work on them.

Sounds glorious. In the U.S., figuring out taxes is like:

Take line 39b, multiply it by your age as determined by worksheet 6689. If you are between 41 and 43 years of age, enter '0'. If you were not subject to the Railroad Act of 1938's exempt dependent pension clause (this is not common), add 13 to this number in hexadecimal, else, subtract 2 and multiply by 1.388688. If you did not have healthcare for more than 14 minutes during the prior year and line 17 is 4 or greater and you live in a zone designated as "clown free" by your local municipality, draw a unicode snowman on this line and prove Fermat's theorem in the margins of Schedule Q...

So, so, so much this. I did a full-stop switch to Mint for ~2 months and, for the most part, quite enjoyed it. What finally killed it for me was when I was back in an "office" setting where I wanted to use a monitor and bluetooth peripherals. After a few days of struggling through various bluetooth drivers and CLI management tools, I gave up.

To make things worse, the general response I've heard from other folks that use Linux full time was, "oh yeah, why weren't you just using USB peripherals?" The general feeling I got was that I was a n00b for even trying to use a BT mouse and keyboard in the first place.

I genuinely wanted to make the switch work, and it's a shame that it just didn't (for me). Honestly, the last thing I need sprinkled into every few working days is 45 minutes trying to get some driver re-installed.

That all depends on if your concerns about overpopulation are based on available space versus available resources. Fuller's conjecture might work for conserving space, but a child born in a first-world country will use something like 800x the resources of a child born in a third-world country. Clearly a higher and more equitable standard of living for everyone is desirable, but we also need to figure out how to cut way back on resource usage at the same time.
That's the thing that I found dumbfounding: These aren't incurious people. These are clever, capable, curious people. (lack of curiosity occurs in far too many people of all ages around me)

It's just that they deal with their curiosity differently: They seek an answer, and are content with whatever level is currently available, and move on to other matters, while I revel in the uncertainty.

Can't say one is better, though I'm obviously more comfortable with my version. Will say they feel very different, and I end up feeling alone in the crowd.

Related: One coworker at my previous job noted that we enjoyed our high school interns more than than college interns because the high schoolers hadn't had their sense of wonder and curiosity beaten out of them. I'm still evaluating if I think that's true.

I do authentication in terms of operations a.k.a. claims a.k.a. attributes, such as "Can Create User".

These are simple, easy to understand, and provide good flexibility.

If you enjoy using roles that's fine too: for example you can create an "Admin" role that grants permissions to do many operations. In other words the Admin role has many claims.

In your authorization code, you check the operation, not the user nor the role.

In your database or ORM, you can create these tables: users, users-roles, roles, roles-operations, operations.
