Especially given that they've been "modern" from around 1970s, not changing much since then (tracing JITs are likely to be the only significant improvement).

Uhm... Screw the web. It's boring and irrelevant. It does not really worth knowing. It's better to stay away from it, for a sake of sanity.

I had the same thought. I don't get it.

Absent extreme situations, such as a hurricane approaching (in which case one should get up and leave the region), the weather has zero bearing on whether I should get up or even whether I feel like getting up.

(And yes, I am exposed to the weather daily--I walk to work each day, rain, shine, snow, warm, or 20 below.)
Is there a story behind Medly's development?
Poettering says that PID 1 has special requirements. One of these is killing "zombie" processes that have been abandoned by their calling session. This is a real problem for Docker since the application runs as PID 1 and does not handle the zombie processes. For example, containers running the Oracle database can end up with thousands of zombie processes.

Why does Poettering keep claiming this when he's the one who submitted the patch that adds the PR_SET_CHILD_SUBREAPER prctl(2) [0] functionality?

I've been struggling to "get excited" about VR, but I think this thread (including the roller coaster/sim city comment) puts it into a bit more perspective. I think the initial tech requirements are putting me off, I don't want that headset on my desk or even on my head. I'm getting old, feeling bad about that. Ironically I am excited about AR. The MS HaloLens demos were amazing
Is it a violation if they don't modify Linux itself? So if I make a device that runs Linux and my application binary, am I required to make my application code public?
A little bit of digging shows a 2014 BMW i3 claiming to run 2.6.32-28 in it's licences section.(STLinux)

Has anyone ever seen GPL being encorced in any country?

Wont this end with BWM uploading a tar.gz of a kernel found on kernel.org and call it a good working day?

Have seen it happen too many times, and in most countries the user has no claim on the license/copyright.

So unless I contributed/own some copyright found in exact Linux kernel version/other software used by a distributor, and buy their stuff, there is zilch I can do.

Which also means, you are free to sell/and break GPL software/license and as long as you dont upset somebody who owns the copyright to it, you're good to go.
I have a $4 dollar multi-function timer that we use in the kitchen and for "turns" on the trampoline in the backyard. I still don't use all the different features available on that silly thing. My GE gas range also has a timer, same with the microwave that sits above it. I bet my fridge has a timer too... lol. I have a literal crap-ton of devices that I barely use to their full extent. There just aren't enough hours in the day.

I still use pen and paper to keep notes/lists. I actually have a Bullet Journal... so maybe I am not the target demo.
It's great, and what makes it so great is exactly that. It's highly possible to brew 5 gallons batches with the very same ingredient quality as any microbrewery and a process which is the same but at a smaller scale.

You also have to advantage over microbreweries to be more creative and test out stuff in your recipes because making 5 gallons of not so perfect beer is not the end of the world. All the professional brewers I know were homebrewers before and still are.
Very nice! It may be annoying, but I think at some point you really will need to keep track of castling rights and en-passant (position repetition is much harder but I don't think it is so necessary). Some evaluations depend very heavily on them.

And this proves your point that information should not be owned how? You're making various factual statements about what is easy, what is hard, what societies tend to condemn and tend not to condemn, but nowhere in there is a line of reasoning that actually supports your original claim.

History has proven over and over again that naming and shaming works miracles. Companies that turned a blind eye and were completely unreachable suddenly turned active and kind just to save their reputation. Going to or even just threatening to go to the media, I know from experience, is indeed productive.

I am really curious where you got the idea that it's counter productive. Asking the conservancy to clean up this dirty work is expensive and takes forever.
Visual Studio Code for Go
This looks interesting, I'll definitely give it a try.
I spent a couple of years working on a product that was about purchasing decisions, and it's definitely a real phenomenon.

One useful way to break down choices is on the satisfice vs optimize continuum. For some choices people make, they're optimizers. When I'm buying a laptop, I will put hours and hours into picking the best one for me. But when I go to a new bar and am faced with 30 beer taps, 2/3rds of which I've never tried, I don't care about getting the best beer, just a satisfactory beer.

The paradox of choice shows up mainly with satisficing choices. Before phone cameras were common, for example, a lot of people just wanted to buy a digital camera. They didn't care much about megapixels or features; they just wanted to take pictures of the kid's birthday party next week. But each camera was working hard to differentiate itself. That meant the buyer was facing a ton of information to evaluate even though most of the cameras would be just fine for them. It made people crazy.

If you want to notice paradox of choice in yourself, pay attention when you're on the satisficing end of the spectrum: when you just want a thing, but you have a bunch of options to wade through. Common places for people to experience this: large restaurant menus, picking vacation destinations, choosing wine off a large wine list.

You may not be noticing it because you already have a good default strategy. After learning about this, I developed one for myself: pick the first thing that looks like it will do. E.g., with a large restaurant menu at a new place, some people will agonize. But I just scan down until I find something that sounds good, skim a little more just to be sure, and go with my first choice. If I come back to the restaurant in the future, I can invest in optimizing by trying different stuff. But in the general case, I've optimized my overall experience by having a low-load satisficing heuristic. You may already have this yourself.
If you start with pre-assembled kits, they're really quite difficult to screw up, and the results are usually quite drinkable. The pre-assembled kits are usually 5 gallon/19 liters, although 1 gallon kits are available as well, but cost goes up (per yield).

The next step after would be taking recipes, either from the kits you already made, or found elsewhere, and assembling the ingredients yourself, tweaking where you want to make a change.

Ordered the HTC Vive and I think it's the "game" that I'll have my kids (age 4 and 7) experience first. They both loved some of the demos and games available on the DK1 and DK2, but I think the creative freedom this seems to encourage will be even better.
In that case, it shouldn't be a problem to point to Linux' code repository right?

> I'm living proof you can enjoy movies without the audio.

I am not looking to equate immersion with enjoyment, and by no means do I intend to disrespect the manner by which you enjoy a type of media. My apologies for coming off that way!

When I refer to 'immersive media' I am referring to the 360-degree omnidirectional dispersion pattern of sounds and our similarly omnidirectional hearing of those sounds. This is 'immersive experience' as opposed to a 2-dimensional or stereoscopic experience, which is what we get with visual media. Television/film screens fire light directly at the eyes; even in iMax situations the film is never experienced behind us. That isn't immersive, whereas say a VR headset can potentially offer this type of immersion. But since this technology is still in its infancy I think it too early to call it fully immersive like audio is.
It would not be a violation in this case.
Wait, what? It's my responsibility to invent a new business model for someone else? Or is it my duty to watch (possibly malware-infected) ads? I'm not sure what you're saying here.

If you're advocating for imposition of a legal duty to watch ads, then I demand the legal imposition of a duty for advertisers to frequently acknowledge that there is no "free" market any more.

Are you confusing source-code with machine-code?

GPL is concerned with source-code.
> it costs more to program the routines than to train and employ people to do the job?

Exactly. The S-Class is not exactly a high volume vehicle, and it has a huge number of options. Given the low number of vehicles and the combinatorial explosion of different option combinations, it's quite possible that a custom S-Class is unique.
I don't really disagree which is why I'm pretty ambivalent. The original Echo does have a decent Bluetooth speaker and I find the voice recognition a lot better than Siri's. And it's available in my kitchen/dining area when I need to add something to a shopping list or ask a question with greasy hands. But I certainly wouldn't try to convince someone that it's a "must have."

I've been bitten more than once by this.

Example situation, you have a request to process an uploaded file which is only for admin purpose so you didn't take the time to use a queuing system to do the heavy lifting in the background. Then, your customer uploads a file that takes much longer than normal and the request times out, that file is then sent multiple times to the app server and the user sees multiple uploads..

The behavior in term of errors should definitely be different if the sending request failed (in which case resending to the next upstream is fine) and if receiving the response failed (in which case it's often not a good idea to resend)
I think the goal is that the system gets to be good enough that nobody worries about discoverability any more.

You're idealizing precisely the kind of Internet the propagandists want, one that's too small to challenge any of the established groups.

What the Apple saga is really all about
Alexa requires AWS to run. It's a symbiotic relationship, and Alexa is the consumer-facing AI extension. They've marketed it better than Watson and Siri so far, giving it new hardware to live in and opening it up to developers. But without AWS, there is no Alexa.
And it won't be. But cut their public relations staff some slack. They can't tell Richard Stallman from Gregory Rasputin, and before saying or doing anything they're going to be bringing themselves up to speed on what the GPL is. No need to get rage-y just yet.
It is if they don't redist the kernel code they're using - if it's GPL'd, and you redistribute the binaries, you acquire the responsibility to redist the source.
They are connecting more and more services, you can train your own "skills" and i am pretty sure they will open the platform up at some point. Could be huge. Remember, the first iPhone was totally locked down as well.
One premise of this article bothers me right off the bat.

I don't understand why, as an application developer, we wouldn't want to offload some of the computational load to clients instead of our own servers. That is a resource that scales far better with the number of users.

If servers only handled data instead of page rendering and so on, we'd need fewer of them to handle larger loads and also be a lot more robust to getting posted on HN or Reddit, etc.
A hop schedule would be very important for getting the flavor right. The way they describe hop additions is not sufficient, and they don't offer IBU estimates, so we're really only guessing how to get there. So as a brewer, my thought is that these recipes are akin to open source software in a way that allows you to fork it to create something of your own, rather than create a clone of a specific recipe.
...Marketer-speak meaning it erodes the "je ne sais quoi", that which is undefinable, about very expensive, often hand-made, goods. That is the real reason - how can you persuade big spenders that something is unique and valuable if it came from a factory, a robot? even if said quality may be demonstrably superior? (edit:said inferior).
I think if they're running unmodified code, they could just say "we are running X version Y with no modifications" and link to the upstream and be done with it. Which could be the case.

Or they have modified it and are refusing to release the source with their modifications. But they haven't stated the former.
Sometimes shaming works, sometimes it doesn't, and sometimes the mob is misinformed and crucifies an innocent.

3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:

a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)

If not, I'm not certain that waivers their obligation to distribute the source code, at least when requested. In which case they could just link to Linux' own website.
Hmm. The Dot might be a good addition, but it's too expensive. I want to put several mic & speaker combos around my house, but I don't want to pay $90 per room. Something in the $25-$40 range would do much better, even if it was a simple relay to the main Echo.
Somewhat related, but if I don't subscribe to any of the services listed, this is a pretty useless product for me. I don't listen to internet radio, I don't stream music, I don't order delivery, I don't use uber, there's already 10 million ways to check the weather, and my life isn't busy enough to need a voice-activated calendar.

Is this the future of tech? Like do I need to have some kind of urban-go-getter lifestyle to find use in any of this? When can I get something useful, rather than "thing I already do, but in a new package"?

That's basically the argument to use Windows and Windows-based technology and not Linux. Everything you can do on any of the UNIX boxes, you can do with Windows. It might be different, but it is still a more popular / supported platform.

Since I'm not a Windows fan, I find value in doing it differently, and so have Linux fans. I think you will find FreeBSD and SmartOS users find the cost in time to bring a large enough gain to satisfy their business requirements.

That is true in the real world if and only if there is someone willing to sue BMW and see it through to the end. Absent someone doing that I don't see how the GPL is actually enforceable. In some ways it is similar to what we have with surveillance and the NSA in US. While they are probably breaking the law the courts have been unwilling to force them to stop.
We shop there. I obviously don't think it is local. I've been to huge Trade Joes with large multistory parking garages nearby (in LA), I've been to them in other cities, by where I live etc. What they have going for them in an image of a healthy, wholesome, quality foods for reasonable prices. I think initially they started to appeal to the Whole Foods crowd who couldn't quite afford the prices.

It is interesting that a lot of the food at TJs is not organic. But by clever marketing, using brown paper bags, imagery/graphics with a turn of the century feel to them, they impart the idea that there they are healthy, natural and good for you. In reality it probably is not no better or worse than the food you'd get a Kroger, Giant, Safeway or other such traditional grocery stores.
