I didn't get a negative vibe from the opening paragraph on its own. If you read the rest of the post, you find a lot of unnecessary negativity regarding the entire Apple ecosystem.

>> I know, I'll just strace it to see what it execs! Oh wait, this isn't Linux. Uh, I'll dtruss it to see what it execs!

Someone who is not in the process of bashing as much as possible would have simply said something like "I'll dtruss it (OS X's equivalent to Linux's strace) to see what it execs". All the exclamation marks and passive aggressive "Uh", "Oh wait", "Well, sorry" phrasing to drive home just how terribly awful the operating system is.

The closing section with the "If you rely on machines like this, I am truly sorry" sealed it. This clear dislike for the ecosystem adds - at least for me - new meaning to the opening paragraph. Typical startup bashing for "trying to be hip and trendy". It's hardware and an operating system. Everyone has a preference for the tools they use; there's no need for passive aggressive hostility.

The Importance of Teams
The issues you mention exist in C++ without runtime compilation, so don't pose a particular blocker to using runtime compilation when you want fast iteration in C++. This is all intended for development environments, so 'destroying the world' simply means closing the application and restarting, which without RCC++ is something you have to do every time.

So there may be benefits to using Rust, but the issues you've posed are not ones I've found were my primary concerns when working on code which needs fast development iteration.
With GPU Frameworks like GPUImage or Arrayfire.com I always wonder how bus transfers impact the overall performance. The best GPU code is useless if most of the time is spent transferring data from CPU to GPU and the other way back. That's why it's typically a bad idea to just "outsource" a particular computation to the GPU "because it's faster". At least that was a big concern in the old days when I did GPGPU (about 5 years ago) which is why I always thought GPGPU libraries were a bad idea.

Can anyone shed some light on this matter? Has anything changed in the last years? Are bus transfers still a concern? If yes, how does GPUImage handle them?
If one is very poor, one cannot afford money to get prepared food and forced to prepare food themselves no matter how weak is the will power. And that will be much healthier. The problem is that in Westen societies such extreme poverty is rare and people can afford junk food and advertisements heavily inclines them to get it.
> They basically had a fishing industry and that's it.

While it certainly wasn't a rich nation in the first half of the 1900s, Norway in 1938 was actually the world's 4th biggest shipping nation, and owned 7% of the world's tonnage[1]. The forest industry was also significant (pretty interesting historical overview at [2]).

For humans, it was the greatest catastrophe. Remember Permian-Triassic period didn't just affected one species and there were no humans during that period. You could say our ancestors were affected though.
Tried this in 4 browsers (Chrome, Firefox, IE, Opera) and couldn't reproduce - the text does move a little if you hover which makes for a somewhat amusing shifting effect as you slide the cursor around in the box, but at no point does it move so far it "disappears from under my cursor", and I can still click the link.

You _could_ get recent git by some other means prior to installing homebrew. Anything short of compiling from source wouldn't require ever installing XCLT.
I can see this happening hand-in-hand with the ad-pocalypse. Have a micropayment system associated with ad blockers. It can use the same revenue flow as ads.

For every thousand (suppressed) impressions, pay a dollar to the site. Sites, who are now actively blocking ad blockers, can stop blocking and get similar revenue. Users, who do not want ads, can get that experience without the guilt associated with freeloading.

All it takes is for one major browser vendor to take the first step.

The difference is that there's currently no large-scale acceptable replacement for oil, so ditching oil would be committing a global suicide (or genocide, if you will), while ditching coal in the presence of nuclear, wind, solar and hydro plants that can replace it much more seamlessly is merely a reasonable thing to do at this point.

In addition, this is apparently an investment fund and the coal stocks are tanking, what would you do with the money of the people who turned it over to you for safekeeping? Keep it there?
This is true for many of the writings in the old testament religions as well. Sensible advice for a different time and society.

In some cases, Facebook advertising has proven to be quite profitable. I know some Pakistanis who have created pages to sell imported jewelries and other similar stuff to Pakistani Facebook users.

many people are convinced today that the (smallpox and other) epidemics introduced to north america by european settlers were real. allegedly 100m native american people inhabited north america before and it is assumed that 90% fell victim to these epidemics. that would make it a greater catastrophe, measured by number of casualties, if i'm not mistaken?
"Everybody uses homebrew" until the new intern or college grad roots your production database.

I think a lot of people over 40ish view Jeremy Corbyn as very much establishment left, with impeccable roots in the years when the establishment left were in the business of losing and losing hard. The guardian certainly give that view a good deal of prominence, but also feature writers who take a much more positive line on the left. The overall quality has dropped a bit with more clickbait and cif nonsense, but it's still the best place to get news, and the fact that they publicly sweat policy like this is a positive sign
Also I always thought that smart kitchen robots that can peel potatoes for me and do a limited set of things will come to my home, but from these algorithms it seems that the hardware is behind the software, so even the first good kitchen robots will be general enough to learn any motion (but not precise enough for everything that a human can do)
Startups, investors, pitches and growth – our Wolves Summit Experience
All that first sentence points out is that Rachel was more familiar with Linux than OS X, and mistakenly thought that strace would be on the system, and then reverted to using dtruss. She's just showing her process for trying to troubleshoot Unix processes to see what is going on under the hood, in a conversational tone.

As for the "If you rely on machines like this, I am truly sorry" - I don't really blame her. She says she's sorry because she was trying to administer a system that a. has vulnerable software she couldn't easily upgrade or even remove, and b. some of the common utilities that she uses to troubleshoot Unix systems just don't work and this makes a competent Unix admin's life harder than it needs to be.

And Rachel, by all accounts, is a very competent - no, scratch that - talented administrator. So she feels the pain of not being able to use commonly available tools and not being able to keep systems as secure as she would like.

If you feel offended by this, then it seems to me you are actively looking to be offended and you have your own agenda.

That's another way of thinking. But a deadly disease is one where death is certain and fatality rate is high. You could say that Ebola had higher chances of spreading, along with being deadly.

My friend's mom was very concerned about our D&D gaming. This was 1982. She even went so far as to provide us with tapes of ministers decrying D&D as satanic (which we found hilarious).

However I have to hand it to her. A child of the 60s herself, she knew that there was no point in forbidding it. So, she opened her house to it, so "at least it will be happening where I can see it."

Once she was exposed firsthand to the amount of totally harmless riotous fun we were having - totally sober and clothed, mind you - she changed her mind entirely.
Or any other reflection of the sky.
Ah, bummer. Thanks for this info, good to know :-)

Of course, there is a utility that sets the flag in recovery mode, unless there is a specially built kernel that only exists in that mode (I'm no OS X expert, there could be) then there must be some way of bypassing the protections. If you can still load a kernel extension then it occurs to me that you can still bypass it.
Yosemite and El Capitan prioritize /usr/local/bin over /usr/bin, so if you install the latest version of git via Homebrew, you're mostly okay. If you're using Mavericks or older, it is as described above.

That said, any program that invokes /usr/bin/git directly instead of /usr/bin/env git would still be vulnerable.

It's not as big of a problem as the article makes it out to be so long as you install a newer version of git.

If you're really concerned, the filesystem restrictions mentioned can be bypassed by booting into safe mode. Though it's still not a good idea to mess with the default program installations since Apple may depend on that particular version of git for some program.
In other words: if you want to live in a walled garden with lots of holes, then use SIP. Good to know.

If you're on Debian, an want to try and run testing/unstable, you probably want to install "apt-listbugs" -- which will warn you about open bugs in software you're installing/updating. Another option is to run Debian stable, and have testing and/or unstable chroot, managed via schroot: https://wiki.debian.org/Schroot (that page and the manpages could use an update, but having a scroot backed by lvm, and set up to mount /home works well enough for running x11 apps (the MIT auth cookie is in $HOME)).

I would recommend trying to keep things separate like that (or via something like docker/kvm/vagrant/etc) -- rather than trying to mix'n'match. You'll likely be the only one trying a particular combination of versions, and it's unlikely to be much fun.
>when the ad-pocalypse hits.

It won't hit. Most people just won't pay for content, but publishers have to make money. If ad-blocker use continues to rise, everything will simply go native. It means more clickbait article titles with even less thinly-veiled ads masquerading as legitimate content.

The current native advertising model, where advertisers negotiate individually with each site where they want content to be posted, will quickly evolve into a more efficient AP-style network. Companies will submit articles into a feed that will be disseminated to and automatically displayed on revenue and content-hungry sites across the Internet. Sites will be compensated on a CPM or CPC basis.

Ads are not going anywhere. They will just take a slightly different form.

It's a good list, and there are questions on there I don't usually ask but should (testing and process). That said, I like to spend time on quality objectives (portability, flexibility, integrity, interoperability, reliability, robustness and so on). Even if they're not applicable, it's good to know they're not. My quality cheat sheet is here https://www.wittenburg.co.uk/Entry.aspx?id=d8c54975-bd0a-410...

All the way! That is the point; religion is a personal matter in secular states. Treating them as anything more than normal organisations is not tenable in the long (long) term, because you cannot legally limit religion to just those you deem pious enough — well, you can, but then you are not a secular state, and in a lot of countries unconstitutional.

It depends on who is doing the considering. If it's the government, then the answer is yes, because there is no good rule book by which to ratify a religion. The better approach is for government to get out of the religion business, revoke all tax exempt statuses, and let people join whatever organizations they wish. There is no way to ratify Catholicism or Islam or Scientology without ratifying CFSM, you simply cannot do it without being intellectually dishonest. The only solution is to ratify no religion.
