> since your computer and you are the only "user" (usually) so why not put everything in the same place

The Linux (and late UNIX) way was not changing the /usr for each user, but on sharing /usr through several computers. This way, you had to administer just one computer, for a network of any number of terminals.

That become obsolete only after modern package and configuration managers were created.
Rustup supports your wish with "rustup override".
Yes. Everyone does from time to time. Perhaps if we learned to speak in a less authoritative way more people would take our views seriously..

I can't tell you how many times we've chased down field problems that ultimately were the result of antivirus scans. It's been so bad, that one of the first questions we now ask when we get a tool-down report is "is there antivirus running and what is the configuration?"

Bringing Windows into the architecture of any type of capital equipment control system is a bane. A scourge. I mean to say, it really is a misappropriation of software. Imagine, "Yeah, Frank only knows VB, so that's what we used for the aircraft's cockpit GUI."

Not such a fan of empowering idiots to cause serious, pointless obstruction for hundreds of people. There are just too many idiots.
On a less somber note, you are praising the empowerment of ignorant people to become secret informants on behalf of a security state with the power to disrupt the lives of others. This is a tried and proven path that many countries have followed and we all know where it leads.

Your second paragraph seems to be suggesting that Foucault and Butler's idea is wrong because of their sexual orientation. This seems both unjust and irrational. If you believe the distinction has no scientific merit, you could cite or propose relevant studies. If you believe it has no cultural merit, you could discuss how the distinction functions in society.

Has there been a single useful observation of an actual incident by passengers, since Richard Reid (who was blatantly attempting to light something on fire)? Any arrests, charges?

I struggle to understand why vague accusations of "suspicious behavior" are treated this way, over and over again.

Oh yes but that leaves tons of brilliant people who didn't goto any of the ivies ready to hire for those of us not wanting to compete with the SV app style startups. I used to be a bit annoyed by this attitude when I worked as a contractor at a Google data center. Well first it was still a boon to get Google anyway associated with my resume, but second I realized Google and SV and the rest were missing out on lots of brilliant engineers, makers, and programmers. Turns out hard technical problems care less about technical pedigree than humans. ;)
At my company (London based startup) we always call references to get a verbal reference and ask specific questions (what were their main weaknesses, what's the best way to manage them to get the best out of them, etc.) rather than asking for a generic reference.

For more senior hires we get backdoor references through our own network (with the candidates permission) to ensure the candidate isn't just giving us their friends, etc.
Data privacy issues can keep head hunters from accessing such databases. Secondly, many, many recruiters (and consultants, too) are given company e-mail addresses to give the appearance of being an employee but are actually contractors that might as well be external recruiters.

Big, cash-loaded companies tend to enact policies more about protecting their wealth and reputation than to actually grow a company or even to keep it efficient. "Good enough" growth and revenue projections are enough to keep people happy and the bonuses coming in. Nobody goes into Big Four style consulting trying to actually change the world unlike at least a fair share of entrepreneurs globally.
Protectionism and freedom are not absolute. Yes, those countries as well as the United States also engages in lots of protectionist policies.

However, the mentioned countries integrated more to world trade then most other countries in their region, and as a result they are now among the most developed.

What are you talking about. I mean specifically. What state of the art manufacturing/engineering/processes do you specifically speak of that Toyota can only dream of that Tesla can employ?

Are you talking from facts? OR are you talking from feelings, and hunches, and faith in Musk?

Space X, is one thing... in that bracket Musk is competing with inefficient opponents who have historically benefitted from lack of competition, crony government contracts, in an industry that is primarily product engineering driven that requires a small volume manufacturing of extreme high complexity vehicles

In Tesla he is competing against highly efficient opponents who have been in a dog eat dog survival of the fittest competition for going on 40 years which is only somewhat product engineering driven and high volume manufacturing of relatively low complexity vehicles.

Tesla can overcome this... possibly but it is a huge challenge that a responsible investor cannot sweep under the rug...
I would expect these kinds of systems to be running a soft realtime OS. Or at the very least a run of the mill OS with no extraneous software running in the background.
PM for Bash on Windows here. In answer to some of your questions:

"Current beef is the BashOnWindows alpha. Why was this pushed out so early?"

We released this feature early because we wanted to get it into the hands of the community in order to learn how they'd use it, what tools they'd run on it, how it would stand-up to real-world use, etc. And the community has been AWESOME, filing lots of bugs (https://aka.ms/winbashgithub) and engaging in an overwhelmingly positive and supportive manner. Thanks to all of you that have provided your feedback.

"Quite literally nothing works on it."

This is just not accurate. There are a large number of things that do work surprisingly well on Bash/WSL, even in this early stage in its development. While Scott and I were on Skype, prepping for //Build, I curl'ed the Redis source tarball, unzipped it, apt-get install build-essential, built, and ran Redis, within minutes, without any modifications.

Are there many things that don't work? Yes. Absolutely. We've been very, VERY transparent about this and, in fact, state explicitly in our intro video (https://aka.ms/winbashav) and our announcement (https://aka.ms/winbashann) that there will be many gaps and that lots of things won't work.

But let's be fair here, we're talking about an early beta feature in early builds of a beta OS that you choose to download for free. If you don't know that you're going to experience issues, you should not be running Insiders builds.

"Ubuntu Trusty was a weird release to begin with"

No, it's not.

That you don't like it is merely a reality of the Linux ecosystem: Ask 100 Linux dev's which distro to use and you'll get perhaps 20 suggestions - Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, Fedora, CentOs, RedHat, Suse, Gentoo, etc.

WSL is designed to be distro agnostic, but we had to start somewhere, so we chose a stable, supported distro's that is very popular with developers - Ubuntu 14.04. We plan on supporting other distro as we expand and improve our implementation of WSL.

"it's very difficult to get modern versions of gcc, clang, python 3.5 or even ffmpeg"

Really? You're suggesting you don't build everything from source??? ;)

Realistically, we're aiming to benefit the most developers possible with this first release - there are far more developers using 14.04 right now than newer versions. And there's FAR more existing code targetting 14.04 era toolsets than the latest and greatest.

We'll get there, but you'll have to be just a little patient while we improve the breadth and depth of WSL's implementation.
The fact that "nerd" is pejorative is linked to the way grades aren't read aloud.

The "nerd" pejorative isn't about doing well academically, it's more about bragging and obsessing. It's about making academic performance part of your identity. That's what people think is uncool. It's not like the quarterback loses points if he happens to be smart. He just shouldn't flaunt it or obsess about it.

This is another weird use of the term 'self host'. It usually means something that you can host yourself on a platform you choose - being reliant on a service that only a single vendor provides is a pretty long stretch to "self hosted".

A thoughtful graduate student schooled me on this, when I was a Junior working in her lab. She was interviewing widely, looking for a job that suited her goals. She said "If you take the highest offer, then they're deciding for you. Its just prostitution then."

I wish these kind of shops would get an outsider to write their landing page spiel. It is incredibly hard for insiders to get that right, sea they swim in, woods for the trees kind of thing. Try to remember that the world you live in is yours only, and if if you try to entice someone standing at the gate to get in you really need to up the spruik.

Reading the page tells me little about whats actually going on inside, apart from the fact that its "Awesome, great, etc." and a bunch of irrelevant implementation details. And I'm not picking on Kel or Gondor here, its par for the course.

I had three orthopedic surgeries in 2014. Each time I got a vial of OxyContin. Figured I'd use 'em since I'm not much into pain. But the pain was not so bad. Once I tried an OxyContin to see if I could tell the difference. I could not.

A colleague tells me that they have a street price of like $40/pill. So then I'm wondering how many people know that I have a thousand dollars worth of street drugs in my house. I dropped them off at the local drug disposal facility.
Got any stats on the mortgages issued? In the last housing boom I was concerned about the rate of buyers being over-leveraged and found that 80%+ of Seattle area mortgages were less than 5% down - that was a red flag for me to sell ASAP. Despite having bought a place only a month before I found out, I tried desperately to sell (nobody wanted to sell a place that had a lawsuit against the HOA and I was unlucky to have a lender whose underwriters didn't care when everyone else did) and get out of the impending doom but couldn't.

Last I remember in northern Virginia around Fairfax and Vienna (early 2015) more than 80%+ of home purchases were cash-only purchases and with median of 850k - this differs drastically from what you're seeing in DC though it seems. I did notice that my real estate agent was strongly pressuring me to buy when I wasn't ready to buy nor had the $150k+ to put down. Even worse, Virginia (and I think DC) is a recourse state so if house prices crash again you'd be on the hook to pay the difference back resulting in a likely bankruptcy or a debt burden that makes most student loan debt look laughable if all your equity and then some is erased.

As others have noted, there are interim letters that you can request without reason at any time. But, there are also events that allow you to request them due to that event. For example if your team lead switches jobs, you can request an interim letter due to that, and it will be noted that this is the reason for writing it.

Those do not tip your hand and you requesting them is considered absolutely reasonable - how would your new boss of 3 months write that letter for your entire employment? These are what you use while still employed.

Four! Look at what PayPal did for online banking... They pioneered it.
Exactly, that confused me too. It would be like saying all the schools cost the same because the interest rate for student loans is the same regardless of amount. There is a huge difference between paying 5% on $1,000 and 5% on $100,000.

Its also interesting that they did the cost net of financial aid, so probably looking at the average cost of the degree, creating a much larger variance than the data set indicates.
Sweet, thanks! I'm not sure why I didn't think to try that. Worked for me!
Hey Chuck, I've been waiting for solar to come down and it sounds like it has. When you priced it, was it just for parts or was that $7K installed?

whoa whoa whoa... the foundation goal to which Toyota's strategies have been focused for the last 50 years have been explicitly towards improving quality of the vehicle once it leaves the factory... The time to market focus at the cost of quality that is a rational viable model in software is the antithesis of the toyota way...

If an applicant has less than a couple years experience, it's fair to expect/ask for GPA. If they have a lot of independent projects and a clear passion, I'll often excuse a low/missing GPA.

> Was that in the weeks or months after the accident? Or was it some time after that?

> Pain after accidents is short term (acute) pain, and I'm only talking about long term (chronic) pain.

It was a month after I was discharged (so two months after the accident). Probably given the sentiment here and on other media I could have shopped around for a different physician - but when you are recovering from an accident that really isn't an initial concern and one is inclined to trust medical decisions of professionals - my overall takeaway is that this anti-prescription drug-abuse wave that ran through the media/public and it's impact on healthcare had a distinctly negative effect at least on my personal treatment.

Sure, it's anecdotal but I really would be curious to know what percentage of doctors are contributing to prescription drug abuse vs. the weight of the contribution; somehow I think it's more likely that a very small percentage account for the bulk of the abused prescriptions.
It will be interesting to see how well CBD (Cannabidiol) based medications work once the doors open to prescribed usage on a national scale.
My guess is that doctors in other countries have less choice. In the US a doctor can opt out of Medicare and offer concierge services instead. Which many of them have done because Medicare reimbursements are much lower than in the private market.

US doctors also can make money through self-referrals such as ordering a test be done through a clinic in which they are an owner.

This article from 2009 talks about the latter case in detail: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2009/06/01/the-cost-conund...

I supposed we could try to outlaw that practice, but a whole lot of doctors would lobby like hell to prevent that bill from making it through Congress.
