I think this isn't fair to Rawls. If you had to design the internet today, you would probably design the internet just as it is today. Not because you want to exclude 'people that are 80 and have really bad vision', but because even if you made every page have high contrast and an 60pt font, there are almost no 80 year olds on the internet compared to 20 year olds, and you have to cater to your actual audience, not your 'in some universe where old people were on the internet what would be the best way to make it easy for them' universe.

This isn't really so crazy, and it's not some kind of ableist ageist blind spot that content creators have. There is no demand for 60pt fonts, the people that need them, who are extremely few, are more able to adapt the world to their needs than the world is able to adapt itself. Or maybe their needs are totally missed, but you can say that about literally any tiny group.
I come from games. It seems like advertising is the only way to effectively "get the word out" about my new game. I'm not seeing how that's useless. I also don't see the conflict of interest. If I make a bad game and people buy it they're not going to buy my next game so that problem is solved. So I all I'm trying to do through advertising is inform the people who might want a game like the one I created that my game exists and could they please take a look.

Where's the problem?
> "To advance special social and economic goals, certain providers have preferred source status under the law. The acquisition of commodities and/or services from preferred sources is exempted from statutory competitive procurement requirements. All state agencies, political subdivisions and public benefit corporations (which includes most public authorities), are required to purchase approved products and services from preferred sources in accordance with the procedures and requirements described in the Preferred Source Guidelines.

This is why the road to hell is paved with good intentions. It seems to me that the people who should face criminal prosecution are the people who came up with this nonsense "preferred source" scheme.
NAS4Free is the original freenas code, which went into a bit of a neglect phase. There was also talk of rewriting on Linux before the fork, which triggered the FreeNAS fork I believe.

On Nas4free jails are still unsupported. You can have them, but you'll be doing so via terminal. FreeNAS has them in the GUI, and it's standard for plugins to run in a jail.

I stopped following nas4free too closely when I went with the freenas side, so there may be other differences. I haven't used nas4free since it was still freenas, so it's not fair to give detail differences.

This. A good patent is a valuable thing and I can't get behind barring people from selling valuable things that they made or that they bought themselves.

Whenever PatentTalk comes up we see a lot of Band-Aid solutions like this. Similarly with copyright issues. Instead of trying to hack around the shitty laws and regulations we have in place for this stuff, let's just fix the problem at its source. In the case of patents, this mostly means to quit handing out bogus patents, and making it much easier for a patent to be invalidated in the first place. Especially with the sort of patents floating around nowadays, not to mention the litigiousness, a patent like this being invalidated should not be 'big news' - it should be a routine occurrence.

Yes, that's kind of the whole point of the original article.

> Singapore, Hong Kong, Paris, and New York City

I have been to all of those places, and while they are all wonderful to visit I would not want to live in any of them in large part because of how dense they are. Building more housing is not a no-brainer. You're just trading one set of problems for a different set of problems.

> But let's get back to 'riff-raff' and keeping that out. That's just racist and classist.

It was intended as ironic humor. But I apologize if you were offended.
The author here is pretty brave. I've often thought about writing something along similar lines. When you're living in DC and you aren't doing this long list of elite stuff, it's much less ok to admit you're not ok. Many places want their younger workers to work hard, not smart. I'm currently looking for a job that have more autonomy, more respect for the individual, but they're hard to find.

It's especially frustrating since after trying a bunch of treatments (therapy, prescription drugs, and various combinations of the two), I've found that good sleep, regular exercise, and the ocassional bowl of weed after work have improved things tremendously.

However, marijuana remains illegal at the federal level.

Even for "uncleared" work, you often have to go through a background check, and one of the questions asks "Have you illegally used drugs" in a certain time frame. (A year, if I remember correctly). I've been told informally it's a "don't ask, don't tell" situation. So basically, even if a position doesn't drug test, you now have the fact you lied on a clearance form hanging over your head.

This has a trickle down effect... the jobs that don't care about any of the above don't do a clearance check are quite hard to get.
On the most basic level, you should be able to write a simple operating system from scratch. I heard http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~remzi/OSTEP/ is good for an introduction to OS writing.

Some papers I read in no particular order:

Synthesis OS (http://valerieaurora.org/synthesis/SynthesisOS/) might be interesting for you. They do lots of runtime code synthesis.

Exokernels (follow links from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exokernel#Bibliography). And more recently Mirage (https://mirage.io/) and HaLVm (https://github.com/GaloisInc/HaLVM)

(I assume you already know how to program. Otherwise, brush up on that as step 0. C is still the canonical choice for OS work. But if you are feeling adventurous there's more choice.)
Google Pixel and Microsoft Surface line both fit the bill for aspect ratio and RAM. One of those is even a Chromebook!
It's in Swedish, looks like a status display for the post-combustion part (smoke cleaning) of some industrial process, maybe cement production?

The worst one I've found so far is this

which appears to be controls for a small hydropower plant, also in Sweden.

A few other bad ones I spotted include lots of industrial refrigerators, small scale wind power (mainly German), an oil futures trading platform, a fire & gas alarm system control, and someone's Outlook open with some customer complaint emails.

Edit: oh, and there was a Tesco checkout register (although closed).

If you were right, apostasy would not be a thing. Obviously it is always possible, and it does happen, for religious people to stop being so.

Because of this, equating religion and ethnicity is can of wrong and (dare I say) "bigoted". You should think of people who are attacked because of their ethnicity (say) and as such touched in their inner human nature. That is the worse attack one could have to sustain.

Now, show me someone technically changing his ethnicity to keep its relationship to god, and I would admit that we live in a different reality than I thought. Of course they may not want to, but the possibility, therefore the choice, of apostasy, is always present. For anyone.
In your profile, it says that you're a student. You could check whether your school has a student-assistance program.

There are professionals who see this stuff every day who can help you.

There's no shame in this. There could be any number of causes, and some of them are actually easy to fix. That said, many are not but it's good that you're talking to people.

Especially true if you're going to be living there for 30 years; it's hard to find a vaguely affordable place if you have to move quickly, but with 3 months to wait, you've got a good chance of finding something merely very expensive vs. completely unaffordable on $100k/person income.

Housing is still a huge problem, though.
That is not at all what I said. In fact it's the opposite. I take on plenty challenging projects. What I don't work on is projects that are useless to the company. Geez.
We learn to read and write, when we could just as well get all of our information read aloud to us by a few qualified Literary Scientists.

Being I was corrected by an GungHo employee I'd just like to point out the name is "Puzzle & Dragons" Puzzle is singular, Dragons is plural.

I also attended a talk in Tokyo by the designer of Puzzle & Dragons who pointed out he considered it an action game. It was specifically designed to require you to move fast. Since you can manipulate the entire board in a single move but you have a limited amount of time to do it the faster and more accurately you can move a piece the better you do at the game making it an action skill based game, not a typical pick 3 game.

Yes I realize that partly what the article is about.
I don't keep my profile up to date because I don't see the value anymore. I did, once upon a time, keep it very up-to-date, but the only people who ever contacted me were headhunters for positions I had zero relevant experience for and would never be interested in.

The reason why therapy has little use to you is because right now you're very stubbornly defining your happiness. What good does anyone's words mean to you -- you who think you have sacrificed happiness.

I been there and said similar things to myself while holding the mask proud for others to marvel at. You need to learn that you don't need anything to make you happy. Happiness is found within. If you never accept this, you will spend a tragic life seeking outside for what is found within.

Be grateful for the times you had and forgive her for no longer being by your side. Is it not arrogance otherwise? Don't you love her? Do what's best for her then and right now, that means focusing on yourself. It is wasted time trying to run from your problems. Approach them honestly without defense. Do not dictate their solution, but try to listen instead and you might be surprised at how they dissipate.

Remember, thoughts and actions are but expressions of your beliefs. The belief that you can only be happy with girl {X} is an attack upon yourself you currently do not recognize. What you do recognize is your desire to attack yourself physically. The next step is understanding why you wish to attack yourself.

God does not will this kind of life for you, and also learn that you are already in hell. Enlightenment comes from within and the devil is the great deceiver. You are merely deceived by a voice that is defining what your happiness is. Let it go and you'll watch your suffering go and you'll laugh that you ever thought your happiness could be assailed.

Which medication changed your life?
As someone who has suffered from depression for my entire life I can say the truth sets me free in a lot of ways. My life is a weird struggle between the feeling of hopelessness, paranoia makes me feel like I am worth taking care of and overall confusion of my emotions and what my best path.

Today I believe that I am a dog, to be trained as a dog. Find what good things reward me and reward myself for doing good. Avoid what hurts me or rewards me for doing bad. Additionally I have almost always sufferred from dellusions of granduer, believing I can do more than I can. These delusions have always brought me joy and purpose, as if I am worth life.

Sometimes depression comes up again, now adays I rationalize it. It is my brain telling me my current path is unrealistic, I will fail and that I am a burden to society. Time/practice of a skill is the ultimate determination of realism. Failing is the reault of not preparing for obstacles and not looking for opportunities. Being a burden is only official when I stop thinking, stop talking, stop bringing emotions to other people and stop pushing for what I want.

To be homest, most of my interactions with depression are micro aggressions. Last month I got severely depressed. But that also comes about when there are promises I cannot keep. Which leads me to say, this may or may not be the correct road but It has helped me.
I haven't paid much attention to LinkedIn in years, but it used to be all "consultants".

The "mystery" in the title is just utter clickbait.

The article itself (which is pretty good if you enjoy this sort of thing) explains precisely where the term came from! No mystery at all. It's an offshoot of "joint" which has been around in various forms for decades.
I'm not sure there's been perfect laissez-fair but if you define it thus:

"an economic system in which transactions between private parties are free from government interference such as regulations, privileges, tariffs, and subsidies. "

Then the best implementation I've seen was probably Hong Kong under UK governance. They had pretty much zero tariffs, light regulation, no industrial subsidy. The result was one of the fastest growing countries in the world with zero starvation.

(16% of US GDP/capita in 1960, 76% in 2016

"According to Index of Economic Freedom, Hong Kong has had the highest degree of economic freedom in the world since the inception of the Index in 1995.")
Makes sense, since the "all purpose word" that came to mind as something similar was "shit" which is also another all purpose noun, as well as an adjective which can mean "good" or "bad" depending on context.
It baffles me that your (imho) perfectly valid and well thought out post is getting downvoted in this of all places, where advertising revenue (as the most straightforward way to monetise a web service) must underpin the employment of a significant proportion of posters.
As the article explains this is not a record for fiber in general but a record for a certain type of lower cost lasers. The headline was overly sensational.
Thanks for going to the effort and checking it out.

For other people who don't know (and don't want to make the effort): my argument was that special purpose social networking sites can do well. Even if with a bit of hacking (and `apps') you could replicate most of their functionality on Facebook.

Huh? On x86, a syscall/sysret pair takes a couple hundred cycles, doesn't serialize, and doesn't zap caches.

It's the other ugly state changes that hurt a lot. Switching address spaces burns a few hundred cycles and zaps the TLB (fix coming in Linux 3.7, maybe). Interrupts are a few thousand cycles.
FreeBSD 10.3 is in the "release builds" phase. See: https://www.freebsd.org/releases/10.3R/schedule.html

Or I could use Makefiles. Or just write a giant single bash script which only works on three workstations in the office.

GoCD and Concourse make the connections as important as the individual jobs. Concourse goes further and makes checked-in configuration and disposable containers the basis of the build environment.

This sounds like no big deal, but it's critical.

The point is not whether Jenkins can "do" these things. With the right stew of plugins, it can. The point is that Jenkins does not really think this way. It starts with the Single Ball of Build as the unit of work and retrofits other possibilities.

My original point stands. We haven't observed vN-B probes. This negative result is useful in a Bayesian way; it makes it less likely that the galaxy is full of tech civilizations, and makes other possibilities more likely, including several that you mentioned in a needlessly belligerent fashion.
From 5 minutes out of Philly and went to UPenn. "Jawn" is certainly used as the all purpose noun from this article and I've never heard it used as "the shit". The only other way I have heard it used for is as a code name for a certain pill as it helps obfuscate you're talking about a drug openly.

Building more units is the only true, long-term solution. But even if it ever happens, it will take many years.

Meanwhile, the following should happen:

* Firefighters, teachers, etc., who receive a salary from the local government should be paid enough to live within a reasonable distance. It's fair to them and it's necessary for them to do their (crucial) jobs properly.

* Their salaries must rise until they are high enough.

* Taxes must be raised until the local government can pay those higher salaries.

* Most of those taxes should be on the various multi-billion corporations, because no one else can bear them. Those corporations are also the main cause of the rise in rent, so this is logical in that sense as well: taxes can keep rising until they slow down in bringing people here and raising rents. In other words, raise taxes until growth slows down to the rate at which we are building units.

It's actually because I'm so terrible at remembering certain types of things that I keep so many tabs. They are essentially an accumulation of "what I need to work on" for the next few days or weeks, along with the supporting research work I've done to accomplish those things so far. By grouping them in separate windows per task I'm basically keeping all of that context. I could also do the same with bookmark sets, but I've found when I do that I tend to forget about the task itself entirely.

There are probably more efficient workflows, but this one works fairly well for me.
I'd have to ask around; I imagine the Cloud Foundry release engineering team have some tricks up their sleeves.

As for my own project, we have an increasing group of downstream consumers of our API. There are a few ways I could signal upgrades. They could just watch my repo and narrow it to the directories they're interested in. I can also publish a file on S3 or push into a git repo that they watch.
I think "jumpoff" carried a positive connotation? Like if you failed a test, you wouldn't say "I failed that jumpoff." But "jawn" would definitely be used there.
This isn't unique to Menlo Park either, oddly enough. I remember reading about some San Jose guys that lived in Idaho. But they managed to trade schedules around to where they were on duty for enough consecutive days that it worked out just fine.

We see that here in north Texas, although the salaries aren't near as high. Often times we (I'm a firefighter/paramedic, but work as a paramedic only for a 911 contract) will have some long commutes. And often times it's because our family members work closer to home. I drive 150 miles each way to my job where we work 2 days on and 4 days off. it's just over 2 hours each way. My other half is a high school teacher with a daughter in elementary school, so they're close to home and I commute.
It's common in this line of work.
I have been in and out of depression and obsessive isolation. The one thing that gets me through the hell that comes with it is my ability to (eventually) reach out to my friends and family.

If you're ever feeling like you can't get through the dark times, please reach out to those who care about you. Even if those relationships are purely online.

It helps to be reminded you're not alone, even when that seems like a trivial or obvious Sometimes we tend to avoid the simplest and most elegant solutions because they're not as mentally stimulating -- it's the part of the double edged sword of an analytical mind. At least that's the case for me.

I've had episodes in my life where I felt so trapped or constrained or ashamed that I thought about ending it.

I'm really glad I didn't. My thought process was broken. I would have devastated my loved-ones, and thrown away my life for deadlines / issues that no one cared about that much.

I have friends who have survived major depression and are mostly happy now.

There's hope!

I wouldn't say it's addressing these concerns so much as it agrees with some of the same solutions this article suggests (immutability, pure functions) and turns them into requirements. At least until you want asynchronous actions (and you will) in which case it seems to shrug and encourage using addons with side effects.

The standard "react-redux" bindings make use of the presentation/container component pattern described here as well.
Low testosterone and other related things can give a man depression. Way too many intelligent people are depressed. I think one of the major reasons is the lack of physical activity typically associated with engineering fields.
