VisionlessVisionOfCoding-HangoutsOnAir: Questions and conversation
Raising chicken is a recession-proof investment which made robust by 'cloning' <- you put initial capital, got divident of its type; type can be money, chicken, plant, whatever; multiply base by cloning.

I plant kangkong. Initial capital is 1usd, about 300 stems. harvesting biweekly, i get 2600% roi. That's divident part.

I can clone the kangkong by cutting and replant cut stems. It's multiplying the capital part.

Similarly with chicken, one can eat dividend (eggs) and multiplying base (breeding/'cloning')

with cash only, i cannot get good dividend (say, by buying bond); much less luck with cloning cash legally.

Extrapolating to basic income, observe that poverty is lifted fast if the cash is invested in high roi activities (like entrepreneurship) that grow and scale fast.

It's the type of activity that matters more than the cash.
Having a better officially supported API to talk to the NT kernel can only be a good thing, from my point of view.

That's particular interesting now that SQL Server has been ported to Linux. Would be funny if they're going to use the Linux subsystem on Windows too.

Although I suspect SQL Server already talks to the kernel directly.
Even going into the new design with an understanding of what it was trying to achieve, the tab title "Free for share" threw me off. It was so jarring that I completely stopped reading the article and started trying to grok the UI.

Am I required to 'share' my icon in order for it to be made, like on of those "Like on Facebook for coupon!" sites? Where can I share it? Can anyone vote for my icon, or only people who see it from my 'share'?

I would suggest that simply "Free" would be a much clearer, with the social/share component available but not required. Then, if they want more people to vote on their icon, they can choose to share it or not.

"Free for share" makes it sound transactional, like I'm paying for the icon with a 'share', which is a concept I absolutely hate.

Okay, back to finish the article...
If this extends in/through northern Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula (UP) of Michigan, I may indeed switch to Fi.

Actually, I recently took advantage of the Fi discount on a Nexus 5x ($250 @ 32 GB), but after some days dinking with it on Fi, I swapped in my Verizon SIM as planned, to have Verizon service with Nexus quality/timely system updates. (Needed an additional reboot for LTE to kick in, but since then -- as reported in numerous places -- it has worked just fine.)

But, I'm increasingly unhappy with Verizon Wireless.

Next up would be to see whether Google Fi's adverstised real/actual/person support is for real and helpful, and to ask them whether, hey, after all, I'd like to port my Verizon number to a Fi SIM / service and use that instead of the Fi SIM that's currently idle.

(I wanted to try it before committing.)

The other is to see whether, now that I'm out from under my 2 year phone "contract" with Verizon, I can coerce better pricing/capacity out of them.

In any event, I will NEVER again use a phone that is dependent upon Verizon for updates. So, that means Apple, or my unofficial/"not supported" Nexus, or...

P.S. If anyone from Google happens by, "pinch to zoom out" on the Nexus 5x is horrible -- the camera app dies about 50% of the time when I use this feature on it. PLEASE for the love of deity fix this! (Your error reporting systems should have about a bazillion and a half incident reports from one particular device ID. Stock Nexus 5x with only a few big-name apps installed.)
Obviously wild mushrooms aren't grown in sterile conditions, either. However, wild mushrooms have the luxury of only needing to grow in those unlikely places where conditions are just right for them to thrive. If you hope to grow a mushroom monoculture on a rich media (e.g. grains), you'll need to avoid the other fungi and bacteria that would easily out-compete your desired species.

Once the mycelia is established, it's quite robust, at least relatively speaking. Un-colonized substrate, however, will readily harbor trichoderma, cobweb mold, etc. that will spread and kill your mushrooms.

On a commercial farm, you're typically not looking at the colonization phase. If you see actual fruiting bodies, these are mushrooms at the very end of the crop cycle where contamination is no longer a risk. The initial colonization is often done on pasteurized substrate in a clean environment. Strict sterility is neither economical nor required, but effort must be made to give the desired species ideal conditions for growth. And then, contamination is a significant risk for the farmer. Once the mushrooms have been cased, exposure to fresh air is an important pinning trigger and contamination is not an issue.
Tweetbot is kind of an edge case since they depend on a third party. A better example would be an application that does something, like a notes app, like noteability.

They document the WinAPI, but how that talks to the kernel is not documented. You can talk to it directly if you want, but there is nothing from Microsoft on how to do that. So if you see those as the true system calls, they are not documented at all.
#define is part of the preprocessor, which does very basic string substitution on the code before compiling. Useful in small doses, but also regularly abused.
The title of this post is clickbait. It should be titled something closer to "How we lost user interaction after our redesign".

They specifically mention that they did not lose any traffic/visitor numbers: "Important: our overall traffic didn’t change. The same amount of people came to this feature’s page."

It appears as though the "lost users" were really lost interactions with the vote button: "our voting numbers decreased by ~50%."

It's fascinating to me how far people are willing to go when skewing the information to pique interest. I'll bet a lot less people would read it without "lost users" in the title.

I can't think of much that would benefit from this except for, perhaps, headless command line type applications. The one that comes to mind is rsync. Being able to compile the latest version/protocol of rsync on a Linux machine and then running the same binary on a Windows host would be nice but fun seems to end there plus with Cygwin, this is largely a no-brainer without M$ help.

What about applications that hook to X Windows or do things like opening the frame buffer device. I've got a messaging application that can be compiled for both Windows and Linux and depending on the OS, I compile a different transport layer. Under Linux heavy use of epoll is used which is very different than how NT handles Async I/O - especially with sockets. So my application's "transport driver" is either compiling an NT code base using WinSock & OVERLAPPED IO or a Linux code base using EPOLL and pthreads.

Over all it seems like a nice to have but I'm struggling to extract any real benefit.

Can anyone offer up some real good use cases I may be overlooking?

Yes, and I'm compelled to add that robots are typically actuated by servo motors and/or hydraulics, which are very commonly under the control of PID loops. Those PID loops allow the actuators to reach their set-points (whether position, velocity, etc.). To obtain 'smooth' motion, those set-points are usually streamed to the actuator at 60+ Hz, and it is the generation of those set-points that can become very complex; the stream of set-points is not commonly generated by the output of a PID controller.
They're nothing alike, but I find they scratch a very similar itch.
> All he will say about free trials and paid updates is that Apple "looks at everything. We evaluate what will be a better experience for the user, and we make choices based on that."

How are free trials not a "better experience for the user"? I just don't understand Apple's paranoia when it comes to free trial versions.
That is so true! That is why we are seeing a new trend in web design called "Brutalism".
Yes, but the compulsory liability insurance in my state is something ridiculously low (like $20K, IIRC). I carry a significant multiple of that, which is an example of buying optional insurance.

250 chickens a year wouldn't be that hard. 8-12 weeks from birth to butchering weight would mean you need a substantially smaller flock than 250 birds. If they scrounging for most of their diet, it may take a bit longer to get to butcher weight. Also, if they are scrounging you need more space- and your success will depend on keeping predators out. But you won't need 'several hundred' chickens at any one time to reach that goal.
I would tend to agree. It runs afoul of the UX maxim "If you can't decide what you want your user to do, they can certainly not decide what to do." If you really want them to pick "custom" or "fast-track" or whatever (for which there is no coherent explanation visible in the mock I saw... fast-track? What does that even mean?), bring it up after they've committed in spirit to doing the thing you want them to do (request an icon).

Straight from wikipedia:

"Individual Internet users can use some VPNs to secure their wireless transactions, to circumvent geo-restrictions and censorship, and/or to connect to proxy servers for the purpose of protecting personal identity and location. But some Internet sites block access via known VPNs to prevent the circumvention of their geo-restrictions."

The questions you should ask when designing a website:

What am I trying to communicate?
Can someone easily get that information from my site?
If there is interaction - is it easy for the user to figure out what to do?

The questions that actually get asked when designing a website:

Does it feel modern?
Am I using the latest technologies?
Would I feel comfortable telling my buddies how I created the site?

I have nothing against modernizing a site, other than the fact that it's not that important, and it's really easy to screw it up.

Did your case have some things that make it heavy in some way? e.g. very long list with many images, data structures that were big and kept in memory? Video or heavy animations? Or not really and the whole thing was just slow?
Well, that's an (unbacked) opinion, and I don't share it. NT design is not too bad (obviously especially in contrast with Consumer Windows), and especially given what was achieved on the first few releases (that was made easier by Cutler serious experience in the area), but now it is far from brillant, and it has it (huge) share of problems every serious users of both Windows and Unix based OS knows.

Now at one point, way in the past, NT was far above Linux, and some Linux fanboys existed that did not even knew what they were talking about, yet had strong opinions of superiority about the kernel they used. Now we are ironically in the opposite situation: Linux has basically caught up on all the things that matters (preemptive kernel, stability, versatility, scalability) and then quickly overtook NT, yet some people like to talk endlessly about the supposed architectural superiority of NT, that did not provide anything concrete in the real world in the long term and widely used, and that MS had to work around and/or redo with an other approach (while keeping vestigial of all the old ones) to do all its modern stuff.

What kernel hackers know to do, is to detect problem in architecture that look neat on paper. Brillant ones are able to anticipate. I don't even have to: history has shown were NT has been hold back by its original design.

I totally agree here. I will never call cops unless I wont mind seeing someone dragged or being pulled forcibly.

The best way to do this right now is to "mute" channels by clicking the bell icon on the right of the channel header (or opening the server notification settings, or right-clicking the channel name). You can then easily hide all muted channels, providing a good way to get a condensed or filtered view of large servers.

There's only so far a justice system can get dysfunctional before people say fukitall and it looses its legitimacy. It's not just patents, civil forfeiture is another thing that comes to mind and I'm sure there more.

I imagine if in future somebody gets such a patent lawsuit, they'd just rip up the letter and throw it away. Police comes to carry out court orders because they decided in absence? "Sorry officer, the reason you're here is just patent bullshit." - "Oh well, I won't lift a finger for these idiots. Sorry for bothering you, have a nice day!"

Or a more extreme reaction: already in this thread, a couple of people are fantasizing about violence, hiring a hitman and so on. I realize it is mostly meant jokingly, but self-justice is another effect of a justice system that's lost legitimacy.

A user doesn't need to be able to recognize the account name, that's the purpose of your aforementioned prompt. Let's consider the possible scenarios for installing "foo/bar":

I. I've installed anything from the author "foo" before
on this machine, implying that I trust "foo".
A. On a system with namespaced packages, I attempt to
install "fpp/bar". I've never installed anything
from the author "fpp" before, so I get a prompt.
B. On a system without namespaced packages, I attempt
to install "bsr".
1. If "bsr" is by an author I trust, then it will be
installed. This will be confusing, but is not a
security vulnerability. because this author is
already running code on my machines.
2. If "bsr" is by an author I don't trust, then I get
a prompt, as in scenario I.A.
II. I've never installed anything from the author "foo"
before on this machine.
A. On a system with namespaced packages, I attempt to
install "fpp/bar". The system prompts me, as in
scenario I.A., but because I expect this prompt I
don't bother reading it and blindly accept it. The
prompt does reiterate the name of the author, but if
I didn't catch the typo the first time, there's
little chance I'll catch the typo this time.
Remember: the value of the prompt is not the
reiteration of the name, it's in its unexpected
nature, because research has repeatedly shown
that users, even power users, do not bother
reading routine prompts (this is why, e.g., Chrome
no longer allows users to bypass the enormously
scary warning page that appears when a secure site
has a certificate error). My system gets owned.
B. On a system without namespaced packages, I attempt
to install "bsr". The system prompts me, as in
scenario I.A., but because I expect this prompt I
don't bother reading it and blindly accept it. My
system gets owned.

A more complete version of the solution that you're proposing would be to have an actual implementation of a web of trust, but even that doesn't solve all the security problems inherent to package repositories.

> Sure as long as you also accept that you are not owed bug fixes it updates.

"Bug fixes" and "updates" are both too broad. If a feature is broken enough that an advertised feature of the software doesn't work, or in the case of something criminally negligent on the developer's part, I'd consider myself entitled to an update to fix the issue. Either that or a refund for whatever amount I paid for the app (or potentially damages, if I could prove them negligent).

New features and functional changes should be available as an upgrade, perhaps with a discount over buying a new copy of the software.

I'd expect the app not to break over minor OS updates, but major versions changes are always a less predictable.
