The solution is simple. VR experiences would need to be more or less fixed to a small room. AR experiences just don't have this problem.
I prefer doing things the way we're already doing them. Linux package management is already better than pretty much every other main stream OS. But that's the good thing about Linux is there is so much choice. I can choose to use state of the art package management or really shitty package management. On some systems you only get to use shitty package management.

You misunderstand how the EITC works. EITC is "refundable", which means that you can get more money back from the government than what you paid in tax. It can, so to speak, "go negative".

EDIT: Am I wrong? I took a taxation class, that's what I learned.
What is the counterpoint to pure fluff? It's enough to call it like it is and move on.
Not an expert of German traditions, but there is a division between catholic and protestant areas that basically follows the border of the Roman empire. Going back 2000 years, before the Roman expansion, then maybe all of the current Germany nation was homogeneously nordic.
I always wanted to try one of these as a young kid. It was always WAY to expensive, so I never got to do it. I am really excited about the current VR resurgence, especially the experiences available at the low-end.

So a justice system is a public good.

It contains people who are trying to sue. That counts as a personal vendetta, only arbitrated by the courts.

Your juxtaposition of 'private interest' vs 'public interest' needs work. Evidently they can both be aligned.
I love comments like this because it saves from wasting time reading the article. it is the reason I check the comments before reading the article. That's valuable to me.
Essentially.

You can't guarantee reaping while allowing for opt-out semantics for things like tmux. Everyone who thinks that's some innovation being achieved here is misunderstanding it.

This is originally about some GNOME daemons sticking around when they shouldn't. GNOME should just fix that, of course, but it points to the hole of it being all-or-nothing when it comes to nohup'ing. There's no good mechanism for asking for more limited lifetimes.

Of course, the Right way to solve that would be to leave the existing API alone for the all/infinite lifetime case, float a proposal for a new API for the limited case, raise consensus, implement it, and encourage devs like GNOME to move to the new limited case.

But that might mean actually talking to the community and building an encapsulated API that could be reimplemented on other platforms. So much easier to break everything and demand the world keep up, with the added benefit of all those raw dbus calls and hard-coded end points making portability off of your 2 billion dollar cash-cow OS just a bit incrementally harder, again.
It looks like there would be shared "runtime" packages, in specific versions, installed as part of the flatpak system (that is, not included in the app bundles themselves). Different runtimes could be installed, specific versions would be supported, etc.

The app itself would include any libraries/prerequisites outside of whatever flatpak defines as a "runtime library".

At least, that's my reading of how Flatpak works. I could be wrong on some of those points.
And I think the more troubling problem is that bullshitters are generally indifferent to or hostile to the truth, to the very inclination to seek truth. The primary lens through which they evaluate statements is "personally useful to me", not "true".

So even if I carefully build a case for "true", it won't make much of a difference. At best, they decide their next personally useful statement is a non sequitur or a topic change or just going to some other context that is useful.

To me that's one of the really amazing things about Trump's rise. He really doesn't care about facts or logic or consistency. Even among politicians, he's a standout; none of his Republican opponents could come to grips with how totally irrelevant accuracy or orthodoxy are to his game. People keep trying to figure out what his true views are, but at this point I don't think that's a meaningful question.

And I should add that this isn't a left vs right issue; a recent example of a left-wing demagogue was Venezuela's Chavez. But Trump's rise is the first time I've gotten to see it happen up close.
Doesn't it still require flatpak to be installed? I don't see how much different would it be compared to having Nix installed ontop of a distro.
You can install Nix on any Linux system without making it control everything else.
It's a good example IMO. I didn't come to my mind because I see it more as a colony liberating itself rather than internal turmoil - the ruling masters were mostly on another continent, so there was no problem of what to do with them after they lost power (and in America, the royalist fled to Canada, which was not an option in other revolutions as they didn't leave large areas of land loyal to the old order).
That statement's not entirely factually correct, lies by omission, but most importantly, doesn't have anything to do with the risk in question.

The whole point of flatpak is to standardize better security cross-platforms. Allowing "some other tool" to do that for you, just means most apps and most users will not take advantage of that security.

This is stupid and the startup community should mature beyond inspirational sources. Making your own company is really hard and I am not talking about creating a company like Facebook or Google, I am talking about creating something that gives you a 10x over a salary without being your own slave. If that is really hard you can't imagine how difficult (removing luck) is to achieve hypergrowth in an ethical way.

> Still, it's a reminder that the userbase (and developer base) that engage with Unix/Linux/GNU is varied, and may not have grown up with the same sensibilities that people my age have about where the right line between user, system and sysadmin should lie.

This is a very relevant remark and highlights the root of the entire discussion, I believe. There seems to be an ideological fault line here. And I think, it is between those who wish for some ideal, all encompassing design and those who have been burned by the short sightedness of such ideals. Grand engineering ideals cemented into closely knit structures are really great on paper. But some years down the line, you realize you have made too many commitments, optimizing for something not relevant anymore. And now you have to circumvent all those greatly engineered structures. It's a bit like looking at satellite cities, the visions behind them, and what has become of them.

The Unix philosophy is mostly about avoiding those pitfalls. But I guess, understanding this might only come with experience.

This is why (and I know I badly explained my thought here) I refer to gameinstitute here.

You can make someone understand maths by demonstrating cases where you would actually need maths (here, gamedev) but it doesn't refrain them from going deeper and dive into details, which would achieve their understanding of mathematical concepts.

The first step is to get the global idea (and I give you the point for setosa) but even getting imaginative wouldn't permit you to fully use these concepts if you didn't apprehended deeper points on those.
While there might not be many events where flags are promoted, I think that many Europeans identify strongly with their national flag.

I'm pretty sure that many Brits are proud of the Union Jack, probably as many French are proud of the Tricolour, etc.

Heck, even countries which have been rather downtrodden such as Romania are starting to show stronger signs of patriotism and the national blue-yellow-red tricolor is popping up more and more.
Standards organizations periodically insist on updates in order for a document to be considered active. This assures things don't decay but it can also be a way to churn business.

But also there are sometimes typos and other details to fix, noticed through use, which I thin was the case here (though I'd have to go back and look at records I don't have at my fingertips to be sure, so please don't hold me to that--these remarks are extemporaneous, written on a subway while traveling), and yes there is an ISLISP community even if not at the scale of the CL community. One of the effects of ISLISP was to legitimize various dialects of Lisp that did not want or need to be Common Lisp. By being ISLISP compliant, they have some degree of interchange capability with one another.

ANSI CL has things it could fix, but the problem is that you can't open the process for edits merely to fix those things. Any opening of it to small edits opens the floodgates for many kinds of changes, and it might destabilize it. (There is a strong analogy to be made with having a second constitutional convention for the US Constitution, by the way.)

SO opening for edits and improvements might seem benign, but understand that in order to have voting standing (something there is a HUGE rulebook to assure), you have to be a member. ANSI's claim of fairness, which is all that stands between its entire business model and an antitrust suit, relies on fairness. Normally, companies cannot collude, but standards are a deliberate mechanism to avoid that, and they rely on strict application of rules to achieve a constructive notion of fairness, since any intangible notion of fairness would be untestable.

But it's pretty high overhead to have membership. Certainly it's expensive for individuals to be members in ANSI and it's left to mostly whichever companies go, so although the intent is fairness, in my personal view it's very difficult to assure fairness exactly because of the rules that try to assure it. It's almost a catch-22. The very fact of the rules means people with should-be standing are locked out by cost, and so in practice all members who would want to be represented are not going to be, and the people making the decisions will be those who can afford membership.

In the international arena, where the members are countries, there are similar issues though only countries can be members. As discussed in Untold Story, there is a risk of single individuals in countries that don't really care about a standard getting the same vote as a country like the US that might care a lot (or vice versa, perhaps, for other standards--I apologize for the US-centric nature of that remark, but the problem is quite general and I just perceive and express it as a US issue when really it's the same for everyone rule-wise and it's the business world and/or wealth and/or activity that is unevenly divided).

In fact, I think the ISLISP world is pretty fairly administered and I don't think there was much debate about the 2007 update. It was smoothly and easily handled by Taiichi Yuasa. I did editorial work to help with that.

Sorry, probably not the most fitting analogy. And I think I might have attached my reply to the wrong parent comment.

What I was trying to express was that if tmux had changed itself to accommodate systemd, this would have negatively affected the Linux "environment" by making it more acceptable for breaking changes in underpinnings to occur. By future parties not being particularly careful, I meant that this could easily lead to "screen, tmux, and pulseaudio agreed to run as a systemd delegate, and we already wrote the code expecting that you would, so we see this as your bug, not ours." This is particularly concerning as a behavior because RedHat has the money to buy its way.
Property enforcement is just as involuntary as taxation.

Restriction of freedom is an inevitable consequence of scarcity. People cannot have everything they want, so you have to have some system which decides who gets what, and punishes people who try to step outside it.

Whether you're locking someone up for theft or tax evasion, it's equally coercive.

Finished this a while ago - it was great fun, and I learned a lot.

I understand Square/Matasano ran it to hire people at the time - could anyone tell me if having completed it means I can be considered able to do a job in the field, and someone worth hiring? Or is the CTF just an introduction to the field? I have been doing a lot of learning since, and understand there is a vast (and endlessly fascinating) amount to learn beyond what's in the CTF - but what level do I need to be at before I consider applying for jobs? I remember reading that Matasano used to send candidates books to read and learn from as part of the interview process (which just sounds like my dream company) - as someone who would happily learn whatever it takes during the interview process and on the job, what level do I need to be at before I even consider applying?

Agree with both of you - it's a valuable thought experiment that everyone should run throughout their lives, and it's also missing the critical check of economic reality.

You can do what you love even if it's not economically valuable... just put your focus on something that is economically valuable and use that as a foothold.
I suspect I'm being down voted because I said I don't believe carbohydrates are required for survival.

While glucose is essential for life since the brain cells die quickly without it, glucose does not have to be obtained from carbohydrates. It can be obtained from protein or fat by breaking down the protein or fat into glucose. In fact, a good percentage of protein (~50%) becomes glucose when it enters the body.

Protein is favored over many other energy forms since it contains amino acids, one of the most useful sources of nutrients to your body. Your body cannot store amino acids and yet it needs a daily intake of amino acids to survive. Additionally, protein conversion to fats is costly, so your body under normal conditions does not usually convert much of it, compared to fats and carbohydrates (carbs almost immediately undergo storage). Good fats, however, are beneficial (essential even for health) than carbohydrates in all cases.

Or perhaps someone might enlighten me why I'm wrong (at the time of this writing, my original comment has 0 points of karma).

I've cut bread and processed sugar to a large degree from my diet and stick to lean proteins like seafood and chicken, and have found myself to be quite lean and healthy (bulking even with my anterior/posterior chain, triceps/biceps). I haven't counted calories since I switched to a diet that focuses on lean protein and seafood (and I suspect there are days where I eat more than 2000 kCal).

I've used some example architectures in the past while making a relatively small but very detail-oriented Flask app. I found that testing was a nightmare because my errors were only triggered on runtime. So I ended up having to manually test each code path in order to make sure I didn't have something as simple as a type error in my code. Static analysis helped a bit, but it's not as rigorous as a proper type system. Do you have any advice for this situation? It turned me off of web development in Python almost entirely.

In a game, finding out how mechanics work and what you can do is exploration. Figuring out that you can combine a certain action with a certain object to get a new result is exciting and interesting. When you got the whole game figured out, know how everything works and what to expect — isn't that the point where you abandon it?
I don't see how your first two points are relevant to the article- it never discusses face detection use as a password, only as a means of indexing into social networks. ("Only.")

Regarding your third point, sadly, such a society is still so far away as to be essentially inconceivable. Most people don't trust their governments, and only the most forward-thinking segments of society are even tolerant of the range of cultural, sexual, and religious lifestyles that real humans live. We're going to have to find ways to subsidize those horse carriages for a long time to come.

PulseEvent was identified as harmful more than two decades ago; there is no reason to proliferate it. It only worked meaningfully under cooperative multitasking in 16 bit Windows 3.x. In that OS, one task ran at a time, so it was as if a global mutex were being held at all times.

PulseEvent resembles a condition variable broadcast which atomically gives up the global mutex and wakes up some waiting threads. Under cooperative tasking, if you change some shared variables and then PulseEvent, it is not possible for some thread to see the old values of those variables, and yet miss the wakeup, because no other thread is running. When the implicit global mutex is gone (preemption, SMP), the function loses its reliable meaning.

PulseEvent should not have been used in 32-bit Windows 95 application coding (preemptively multi-tasked) and thereafter. We're nearing the 21 year anniversary of Windows 95; kids that were born when Win95 came out are starting to pop out universities with CS degrees.
I don't see how the process are even able decide to run forever.

They can decide to die when they lose the terminal on SIGHUP (or on any other event), be nicely asked to stop with SIGTERM, and surely can be forced to die with SIGKILL. Everything is there for decades, sane and simple - so I don't really get the idea.

I mean, if some process hadn't considered dying on HUP (i.e. on session close) while it should - it's a bug in that program, go ask its author to fix it.
Don't be discouraged by the OP's story. The OP has several years of experiences in C as a firmware developer(read his LinkedIn) so the interviewers may have high expectation in his "coding abilities". Lesson from the story: know your sh1t well. Good luck!
