Do you think that the ideas of Leibniz and Cauchy, that is differential and integral calculus, of Heisenberg and Einstein, that is Quantum mechanics and Relativity, of Curie, Mendelejew, Hahn, Bosch, ... basically, of any non-english speaking scientist with breakthrough insights, are not understood by English speaking scientists, when translated?

What makes you believe people think about concepts "In English", when they are published in English? Certainly Feynman was thinking about QM in English, even though most of the concepts were developed in Norwegian and German.

Also, I'm still waiting for a single example of an english named scientific concept, that is not understandable to a German/French expert in the field. Maybe you have at least _one_ example handy, claiming that "most scientific concepts" are of this type.

Start reporting on those messages. If you are on Android, use India Against Spam. If iphone, you'll have to report manually on the operator's website. for example - airtel.in/dnd

It's a pain in the ass but I kept on reporting for a month after activating DND and the calls and messages dropped. I've even received calls from people begging me to take my complaints back or otherwise they'll loose their jobs. I agreed twice but holy hell those exact same companies spammed me again. I stopped being a good samaritan and just told them to sort it out with their companies since it's the companies fault. Now spam has reduced to a message or two a month.

From what I understand there are old mobile numbers list being passed around from before DND was available and that's why you need to start reporting the spam messages. Word quickly spreads between the companies to remove your number from the lists.

I'm not entirely sure how much that is true... I walked out of a Director position in well under a year simply because it wasn't work that I was the best at... and by that, I mean that I would never be able to handle 2-3x the load of someone else in that position. It was rather constrained.

I'm far better off in a senior/lead/architect developer role over being in any form of management. I provide better value in that space. What's disappointing to me is that you pretty much cap out and aren't likely to make more anywhere near in proportion to the value you provide.

That is bizarre. I don't use a lot of Ubuntu.

Having had an issue with Ubuntu and nvidia in the past, you might want to google NOMODESET and setting it at boot, which should let you boot into X/Unity and get the latest drivers.

> But I don't know many people for whom the operating system is more important than what you can do with it, and part of "what you can do with it" is "use your hardware."

Absolutely. But if OSes aren't directly equivalent (and the hackability of a nix gives it more power than Windows can ever have), then it's worth sorting out those hardware issues (as frustrating as they are).
I tend to agree. My development workstation runs Linux (and it's fine, but on that machine I only need Sublime, a terminal, Chrome, and IntelliJ--anything creative or entertaining I do on my laptop or in Windows respectively) literally only because I'm not buying a Mac Pro. It works, sort of, after spending a nontrivial time figuring out kludging together decent replacements for common functionality (xsel garbage for pbcopy/pbpaste, etc.); it probably helps that I already install the GNU coreutils on my Macs because I know the GNU tools better.

In retrospect, a Mac Pro would probably not be that much more expensive than the time I spent getting this fairly minimally demanding environment set up, though on the other hand I did re-learn a decent bit of stuff about Linux in the process. On the gripping hand, things related to X aren't particularly important to my life, so that's kind of a push.
Referring to the "Linux allocator" is confusing, since the Linux kernel also has allocators. Saying he "GNU/Linux allocator" or the "glibc allocator" would be more correct and respectful.

It is really a very big blast, like an artillery blast like you say. I was given three opportunities to throw hand grenades during my conscription training.

First one was in a purpose-built field, where we were hunkered down in a concrete hole and threw the frag-grenade onto gravel.

The second was when were having an exercise of storming a machinegun-nest on top of a small ridge in the forest. So first we move by leapfrog (a combat pair) firing, then climbed a small ridge and threw over a live frag-grenade on to the "machinegun-nest".

Third time was when we were doing a urban combat exercise. In the middle of the forest they had a roofless building with several rooms, again purpose-built for training with live grenades, with dust floors. We were given two grenades each, one which was a chock grenade ( not flash , again doing the exercise as a combat pair. Really big blasts.

Thanks; I later ran into something that hinted at that. Frankly, though, at this point I don't care. I have something that works and will be patched until 2019. I don't care about my desktops. Every second I spend debugging something stupid on a desktop is a wasted second. This is bad for me and I resent it.

> and the hackability of a nix gives it more power than Windows can ever have

Ehh--if you have to use that "hackability" to get something that is minimally usable, that's kind of a push. (Or, when you consider OS X, a serious negative, because the only thing I have to do to get OS X to where I want is install Homebrew and a short list of packages, none of which require configuration.) I don't care about desktop environments or tiled window managers, the extent of my interaction with my WM, which I could not name, is a sort-of reimplementation of Aero Snap. Again, if I wanted to throw a bunch of time away on an operating system, I would set up a Hackintosh and actually be able to use Photoshop. Which, in keeping with the theme of "Linux desktops are a fractal of unusability", would be a significant improvement. I tried to avoid a reboot and use the GIMP yesterday for something. I think I need counseling now. I ended up using Pinta, whose layered image format ("OpenRaster", which wants to be a standard but it seems like nobody uses it?) is so bonkers and edge-case that ImageMagick doesn't even support it, to say nothing of Photoshop or even Paint.NET.

It turned out, kind of to my surprise, that Linux on the desktop offers very little to me as a Linux developer, sysadmin, and long-time entrails-reading "power user". That's pretty damning, in my book.

There's actually a lot of research that says it's the opposite.[1] The big difference, I think, is that young developers, like the previous poster mentioned, are up-to-date on the latest technology and are willing to change things to work faster.

I've been dealing with 'experienced' Ops trying to maintain control of everything, while slowing down development. The number of hours spent coding doesn't change much if the way development is done is incredibly slow.

Ah crap. The advice I got was just about the opposite - I wanted an L2ARC device in my system for performance.

Atom C2758, 32GB ECC RAM, 4x4TB in RAIDZ2 (losing that much storage was painful, and the $1200AUD upgrade path to 4x8TB even more so) with a 128GB SSD as L2ARC.

I found out some time later that I probably wanted an SLOG device instead but I'm really too afraid to touch my config. FWIW it's pretty stable on FreeBSD 10.3 with around 5GB RAM in use.
I'm sure that's of great value to him.

It still doesn't? Haha!

I remember ranting about this 10 years ago, with a friend who went to a conference in France… that was dedicated to package management in BSDs.

I asked him how I "just upgrade all the packages" (apt-get upgrade). I'd found two-three ways, but couldn't get them to work. He said that yeah there are three ways. They don't work.

I thought surely they'd fixed it by now.

I do have access from my trusted network to the untrusted one, but not the other way around (ACL's on my switch prevent the untrusted VLAN from accessing anything but my pfSense router for internet access). Regardless of this, however, they are separate broadcast domains, so if I can't just punch in an IP address to access it I won't be able to use it (and this excludes a lot of proprietary "Smart" devices that rely on mDNS+DNS-SD or TCP/UDP broadcast for discovery without any option for direct IP connection).

If I ever bought into the "Connected" / "Smart" home (and I probably will, it would be really nice to open my garage from my phone and have lights automatically turn on, monitor the thermostat remotely, etc) I will probably invest in standards-compliant devices that use Zigbee or Z-Wave and setup OpenHAB - all of these proprietary "Smart" devices just seem dumb when you have to rely on external services like IFTTT to integrate them, really defeats the whole purpose and I don't like being locked into specific brands / ecosystems when semi-open standards exist.

> As for the DE experience on other platforms, Windows has had a kinda-tiling WM that regular people do use in the form of AeroSnap, while macOS is now getting tabs-in-the-window-manager, and Exposé+Spaces that evolved into Mission Control has been a positively brilliant experience for years.

> Meanwhile on Linux, the very fact that you have to massage it into something useful ever so slightly at every level is, to me, a telltale sign of its deficiencies. Things are getting better (wayland, drm2), but they're getting better on the other platforms too. The best part is that nobody's standing still and things are moving forward (hopefully, as from the outside it looks like Linux people are running in circles these days around, so I hope reinvented wheels are getting rounder).

And then again, after using almost 10 years xmonad at work and at home for everything, using Windows or OS X is definitely not a nice experience. I don't really care about GUI tricks or clutter on my desktop. I just want my terminal, my editor and my browser to appear when I press the key combinations and I want my desktop to manage the windows so that they're always in the right place.

The other thing I don't miss from the Windows and OS X world are the updates. I don't want to spend one work day to update my system to the next version and possibly fixing things because something changed in the xcode and I need to reinstall it to get my toolchain to work, or something changed in the Windows Linux subsystem and again I'm spending time fixing stuff.

I like things to be simple and a very basic Linux installation with a good wm which you know by heart is miles ahead of everything else. And it doesn't change so you can focus on your work.
Yup yup. Like, I recall a blog post by a Docker core contributor and employee saying, "Run your desktop apps in Docker containers to sandbox them! Just volume the X socket into the container."

(Of course, the Dockerfiles were also running apps--like, say, Chrome--as root, with no user namespaces, so it wasn't exactly great anyway.)
They were implementing an ESB. There wasn't any internal knowledge on it, so they had started a joint venture with a business that provided consultants. For some reason (not exactly sure why), the project went past its deadline by about 2 years. My own employer at the time also provided an ESB, though it was closed source. We had a lot of experience with the product, and therefore could've implemented it quickly and for a fraction of the price (like we'd done before). Unfortunately, no information on this is available online, for reasons I understand.

When they canceled the project, apparently they ended up hiring my employer anyway.

Right, I refer to the concept of sharing data without necessarily involving shared ownership.

I am aware of inout, but like you said it's not as flexible. I find myself reaching for class types in Swift a lot more than in Rust.

inout works for sharing that is extremely local, but more complicated sharing in larger codebases is hard.

Last I checked, Debian now supports ZFS in form of a source DKMS package. No need to maintain your own setup.

If you go with Ubuntu instead, which provides binary ZFS packages, you can also use it as a rootfs to get full advantage of its capabilities[1].

That said, I've decided to just stick with btrfs, because it's in the mainline Linux kernel, and works well enough for my needs with absolutely zero hassle.

FreeBSD is nice though. No harm in trying it out to widen your horizon :)

Historically horses were fed oats because oats were viewed as an inferior meal. But humans certainly can eat oats.

Animals were also kept on good farmland, because you need them to pull your plough.

Cats have frequently been kept in and about granaries to keep down losses to rats.

All of which is by way of saying that animals have been kept wherever and whenever people felt they were worth it. That might have been because the cost of maintaining them was low, or because the benefit of having them was high.
With Any you can downcast to concrete types, but not to other trait objects. There is no fundamental reason why this shouldn't be allowed AFAICT though, so we might be able to add it. You can currently double-box things to do it, and probably write a library that makes this easy, but it's much nicer to have the language do it efficiently in cases like this.

I wasn't aware that you could do that in swift, that sounds quite powerful and useful!
