I was genuinly confused with regards to your last point.

There's a section on their website[0] there are installation instructions for various distributions using repositories and package managers. In other words, the right(tm) way of doing software distribution on Linux.

But then on a different part of their website I found the curl | sh instructions you allude to[1]. Bizarre that they still support that installation method.

To make matters worse, the big orange "Get Started" call to action button actually leads to the curl|sh installation instructions. In light of that I certainly can't blame you for not knowing about the proper distribution packages.

This also puzzles me often. I live in a Spanish city full of apartment buildings of a variety of periods. Often, one can see beautiful art deco buildings (edit: I meant art nouveau, although art deco is nice as well) from the early 20th century right near horrible blocks from the 60s-70s (50s architecture was not that awful here IMO) that took the place of other beautiful buildings of yore.

Doing a bit of research, one can uncover true atrocities made in the 60s and 70s... for example, in the 70s, this building (which was fully functional at the time):

Was replaced with this:

http://www.elidealgallego.com/media/idealgallego/images/2015...

And I wonder, what were the people of the 60s and 70s thinking? Did they really think that was a sensible change? Did they really think any of the horrible soulless masses of concrete that they gave us were actually nice? People from that period were not savages, that time gave us the Beatles, some awesome movies, the first more or less useful computers, computer networks... So why, dammit, why did they do this?

I honestly would like to go there for an hour or two and ask people in the streets, to see if there was a collective hallucination or something.

> Bosch is providing the hardware with a base software which is tuned/modified by the manufacturer.

All the information that I have found so far says that the engine manufacturer cannot change the software, just tweak parameters. Which means that the original test drive curve detection was provided by Bosch. This also makes sense given the fact that Bosch wrote a statement upon delivery to VW that they could not use that detection code for emission cheating.

The set of ordered sets is a subset of the set of sets. Totally ordered sets, which I think are synonymous with chains(?), are still sets.

But yes, I was talking loosely: my point was to differentiate between a mental model of iterating over a sequence (or ordered set) and applying a set-like transformation. My mental picture was of a field formed by a matrix operation on a limited space as being composed of the summation of a series of vector transformations; my maths language doesn't really allow me to properly describe it however. Loosely: you can break down a [subset of] 3D transformation[s] of a surface in to a series of 2D transformations performed iteratively, or you can apply a 3D transformation; they're different mental images of acquiring the same result.
I did car trip around Iceland few years ago in may, having most of inner part still unreachable due to metres of snow. Running tiny Chevrolet Spark in places like Western fjords on their dirt roads with meeting car overy 1-2 hour, good memories. Communal pools could be found in most small villages around, I recall a big one in Akureyri, second largest city (population 18,000). Definitely part of the culture and considering overall ridiculous prices there, pretty cheap.

But all pools are standard treated clean water although whole island has natural hot springs with bluish hot water coming straight form he ground all over it (it's basically like a big volcano all over). Very few places to enjoy those. I guess tourists want to have different experiences than those living there.
In order to jumpstart a more invested search you'll probably want something that gets your attention. For me, all of the online discussions of the war and cause that were so conflicting last year was what really got my curiosity up so I wanted to better understand both sides.

To do that, I decided to start with a book that made the southern case since I had no understanding of it at all. Most of the books were by southern authors and seemed emotionally invested until I came across "When In the Course of Human Events: The Case for Southern Secession" by Charles Adams.

This is the book that kick started everything for me because he's not southern and he's a professor who is an expert on global tax history. The book is extremely well cited (about 250 cites in 180 pages) and the cites annotate the paragraphs themselves. This is a huge help because thanks to the online Library of Congress and Google's effort to digitize books, every time you come across a "there's no way that's real" moment...of which there will be many...you can look up the cite and say "holy crap...that happened"

The official tome of the civil war that's a longer read is Battlecry of Freedom by McPherson.

There's a ton of material out there and as things get your attention you'll find lots of rabbit holes to dive down. The real trick of it is once you understand you'll notice so much oversimplification in internet conversations around it, even semi-official looking videos.

A couple of things that will get your attention:

- Each state had different reasons for seceding
- Haiti played a HUGE part in secession
- The causes of secession and the cause of war are 2 different things
- Nobody died at Fort Sumter, the fort just ran out of ammo and the soldiers were saluted as they were returned to their ship.
- The part that the media played in the war is extreme

For a single link that can really put you in place of what was going on at that time, the Cherokee Declaration of Causes from 6 months into the war:

http://www.cherokee.org/AboutTheNation/History/Events/Cherok...

Once you get into it you'll find a lot more. The economic side of things really got my attention. There's a lot of interesting European history around it too. In depth on slavery is The Half That's Never Been Told (not an easy read). Most of the Southern accounts are very emotional in the writing style, which may or may not appeal to you. Even with citations that negatively impacts some of the credibility for me, but still interesting to see.

There are also many collections of letters from the time period out there.

The single biggest thing that I took away from is this: every action has an equal and opposite reaction applies to history as well. If you read about something that seems like an extreme response to something small, that's because there is a piece you haven't found out about yet.
Last year I made a stupid shit social website that no one used or cared about. Wish I had used this or a similar context. Could have been a softer fall.

I think it is rather that since the early XX, architects, like painters, stopped caring about doing "beautiful" and only cared about doing "original". But the difference between painters and architects is that painters can only offend the visitors of the Tate Modern, who are presumably consenting. Architects will offend anyone who happen to live in a city where they exercise their creativity.

> It's weird, VW say that if your car if affected, they'll fix it. It's a software update that a) won't affect performance and b) won't affect fuel consumption.
So, why did they do it in the first place?

I think it's safe to say that until someone actually has had their car fixed by this new software, and then tested its performance and consumption after that we can assume that it's impossible. I'll believe it's possible when I see it.

My guess: VW europe will claim to make a performance-neutral fix, but simply cut the performance and increase the consumption of the affected cars. Anyone in the EU who finds that annoying can try to scream with very little chance of getting any compensation from VW because of how EU consumer laws work.

In the US where they are actually scared of being sued into compensating customers they will make more advanced fixes potentially even retrofitting urea systems where possible.

We can fight back with tools like cryptocurrency, or even secure messaging apps like Signal (and though end-to-end encryption is heavily criticized on here, it's a start). We can collectively become hackers that dismantle the corrupt institutions that have become so heavily entrenched in our society by engaging in these small initiatives.

I slightly raised my eyebrows when you called the guardian 'activist' because all papers are political in the UK. I would have said that the their news pieces (not the comment pieces obviously), while not free of bias, are amongst the least biased in the UK. Also you say that they drive page views with outrage, all headlines are click bait to a certain extent or they would be crap headlines, but the Guardian is nowhere near as guilty of outrageous headlines and recycled stories as the Daily Mail, Sun, Mirror, Express etc

git bisect?

I've asked that question myself - particularly considering how expensive slack is. Some differences include:

1. Secure usernames integrated properly into the protocol, instead of relying on nickserv and configuring your client to send a dm when you connect which is far from a simple/intuitive system. This includes options for google/corporate single-sign-on and 2-factor auth.

2. Infinite searchable scrollback which keeps position properly across multiple devices. As an experienced IRC user I can achieve something similar using ssh+screen+irssi - but it's hard to use even for advanced users, and I can't imagine trying to use it from my phone.

3. Offline messaging that doesn't rely on the user knowing the right magic commands to activate the bot. Bob is offline - do I need to !tell bob whatever or !ask bob whatever? Can I DM it to the bot to avoid spamming the channel? What's the help command? Can I use that over DM? Is there even a bot in this channel?

4. Integrations are exceptionally easy to write. You can post to a channel with a single curl command. Obviously writing IRC bots is possible, but it's a lot more complicated.

For me personally, even these differences taken together don't seem worth the expense of slack. But I would understand if other people see it differently, especially if they're not that experienced with IRC.
I think this is the difference between a collectivist and individualist point of view. You can view women as a group or tribe, competing against other groups or tribes, or you can view each person as an individual with one of the characteristics being gender. The last sentence of your comment is from a collectivist point of view. I don't think this view is helpful. One woman isn't really helped by another woman being in the government. What matters is that each individual has equal opportunity regardless of characteristics such as gender that are not directly relevant to the position. The tribal point of view does the opposite: rather than de-emphasising characteristics irrelevant to the situation at hand, it amps up those characteristics in a tribal us-vs-them conflict situation. Complaining that there aren't enough women in STEM seems to me as silly as complaining that there aren't enough people with red hair in STEM. What we should strive for is a world where each individual has the same opportunity based on their merits regardless of irrelevant characteristics, not a world with an elaborate system of conflicting tribes that lobby top-down control to ensure that their tribe gets an equal number of tribes(wo)men in prestigious positions.
> And you settle with a government which agrees to 'your' version of good and bad.

That's not how voting works. If the government agreed to my version of good or bad, the country would look a lot differently than it does.

> On the contrary, I'd say you have invented your reasons for why Google is doing it (i.e., 'to exploit it for money') without any evidence. Of course, Google is here for profit,

So you agree with me.

No corporation has evil motives. I don't even know what that means. That it's trying to summon demons?
I look at this as a sign of society evolving. Subtle emotional traumas exist, micro-aggressions exist. Way more things are harmful to children than we are really aware of. Mental health issues scale smoothly from 'nonexistent' to 'makes you completely nonfunctional' and can't be easily separated from 'ordinary' personality.

Society was not-so-blissfully unaware of these aspects of life, this is the process of coming to awareness. You overreact out of confusion at first, but eventually you figure it out and move on to the next lesson. It's how society works, you think they didn't have breathless articles in the '50's bemoaning both the fears of the day and the overreactions to those fears?

Theoretically, if increases in the value of a site are taxed at very high marginal rates, landowners have a lot of incentive to increase the supply of housing to be able to actually gain any benefit from the increase in demand.
Without being involved in the industry I would imagine this is a case of supply and demand.

My understanding is: you can't unpublish an existing package, like in npm's leftpad situation. You do have a one hour window to change or revert a published version of a package, after that the published version is read-only.

Maybe but (and I could be way off I'm a programmer not a physicist) those limits are pretty much the limits on our current technology, it's a bit like saying "well we've reached the point of diminishing returns with this steam engine, that's it no more progress" and over in a shed somewhere else someone is inventing the AC electric motor.

I'm optimistic because I've seen "end of progress" reports on computing power since I was a kid in the 80's.

We've known for ages that Germanium and similar offer better characteristics than Silicon but the cost to improve silicon has stayed below the cost to retool for Germanium til now, if we do hit the limit at 5nm silicon then the cost equation changes and alternate materials become worth the investment.

What I'm wondering about is what motivates extremely smart people to work on social media apps and iGadgets, when they know that most people care much more about: food, health, a fair economy, energy, and safety.

Architects are in the same bind that the craftsmen whose work they now despise were.

With modern materials, the scut work and routine labor that master masons and carpenters cut their teeth on is gone -- they mostly assemble. So there's no skilled tradesmen at the level that you could find 100 years ago. When my local cathedral did a rehab, they shipped in Italian stonemasons and paid them $150/hr.

Enter the architect. With prefabrication and computerization, tens of thousands of man-hours of architect time has been vaporized. So at the low end, they pay the bills with cheap templated crap that wins bids and looks bland. At the high end, they produce stuff that is "unique" and often completely non-functional and/or visually offensive. (But looks good in the portfolio)

In the meantime, most lay people are attracted to more classic architecture that has been perfected over centuries.

The people hunting foxes and badger are not devils made of pure evil, so there must be a reason why they are doing it.

But the actual debate about hunting foxes does not matter here, the point is : the world is not as black and white as people see it.
