What; Nederpelt - Type theory and formal proof

Why; formal verification is a hobby of mine and and I read the article about how to improve my brain (one of them being basically kicking it harder with new things to learn) so I decided to plough through the books I left on the shelve because they require 'too much' deep thinking, updating my knowledge (hopefully).

So far I would recommend it.

Given your comment and the one about having written a stack from scratch twice and regretting it wouldn't in then be a good idea to use just the kernel's battle hardened code but in user space? At most try to upstream some patches so the same code and be used in userspace. All the benefits (well used code) and none of the drawbacks (context switching).

Or am I'm hopelessly naive?
Why not use Arch and get the same benefits, along with extremely up to date binary packages and build scripts for basically everything?

Just to make it clear - current "unlicensed" LTE technologies are LTE-U and LAA require an "anchor" channel in a licensed band. I.e. you still can't run it in your home unless you have a license for one other spectrum band. It's still limited to a carrier play, unfortunately. There is MuLTEfire tech by Qualcomm which can supposedly work completely in unlicensed spectrum, but it's proprietary and not very much is known about it so far.

Maybe because working remote is not for everyone. I actually really enjoy working with people in our office. They are awesome. I relocated there few years ago and we are not only colleagues but also friends. Some people don't speak Spanish at all. Everyone has to speak English. That is official language of the company.

Not in tech, but in finance, and your words resonate with my experience too. After working in a project for a bank, I got headhunted by one of the Big 4, I turned down what I considered a laughable job offer (22K) and moved to Mexico. I couldn't be happier with my choice. If you are young, Mexico offers many more opportunities to develop a fulfilling professional career than Spain does.

What would be more interesting, and useful, compared to all these network stacks, would be a machine readable specification of TCP/IP from which a correct implementation could be engineered.

However, the realist in me concedes, the specification itself, given the present state of the art, would probably fix, unsatisfactorily, many implementation details (in order for the implementation to pass the spec).

I believe we need a network protocol with a solid, simple semantics. IP, that is not.

Because Arch is different and more complex.

A Linux distro is a Linux distro, of course, so differences are subtle and particular. Any distro can be manipulated as much as anyone wants as long as they know how and they can deal with the implications of their changes.

Arch has more scaffolding -- dependency resolution, etc. -- which is all very nice but presents its own Arch-specific learning curve and tends to get in the way if you want to do something that the "Arch Way" does not encompass.

Slack users can build and install the very latest source from upstream if they wish, or they can choose not to.

Dependencies obviously exist in Slackware. They are how Linux is structured. But, for some strange reasons, perhaps, Slackware packages seem to have fewer of them.
And yet all font rendering on Linux is done with incorrect alpha blending. There are patches for the major toolkits but as anything to do with font rendering, people are very resistant to change.
The main problem is housing in my opinion. Everything else is affordable enough. It takes a few months to build a house, but decades for someone to pay it off, assuming they even have a job. Doesn't make sense.

Income inequality in the Revolutionary era was the lowest ever[1].

That is a good point. I still don't know the answer to that! I _think_ it's that the sysadmins added the new capability to Perl sometime in the last few weeks, and the the problem then didn't appear until after the next time I reloaded the system configuration.

I will confirm this with the sysadmins and add it to the article. Thanks!
Well, it's the cause of the symptoms that many people took to be caused by migration, globalisation and federalism.
Seconded. A one-way trip to another heavenly body sounds great.
It's a mix. A lot of people voted that way for economic reasons BUT they think those problems are caused by 'foreigners taking our jobs'. A lot of people I saw interviewed were also trying to protect jobs that are unsustainable or wanted protection from competition. People who voted economically were thinking sort-term. A lot of people in their 50's who want to protect their job and don't want to retrain.

Surprisingly not. I got to read all the original documents. They were unimpressive in every way.

I had the pleasure of putting everything into a proper requirements tracking database (a thing that company actually did get right by the time I got there, moved away from word and excel based document systems). It was all pretty straightforward and a very simple system in the scheme of things. Fundamentally the sensors all worked fine. There was a box which collected all the sensor data and that was what was failing.

Honest question, can anyone explain WHY this is considered to be such a big problem?

Really why, not just throwing slogans around. And why it should be treated before things like absolute poverty, etc.

I use emacs and just press the dot button to access an additional layer on my keyboard with the special characters. The APL characters are surprisingly easy to learn and in my experience superior to the ASCII based ones used by J et al.

I think the closest thing I can compare them to, would be using musical or mathematical notation vs trying to describe the same things with text. Using notation has a slight learning curve, but is superior in day-to-day usage.

What matters is not so much the degree of income inequality, but whether the masses on the fat tail of the income distribution feel they are struggling to satisfy basic needs like food, shelter, and education.

Societies in which the majority of people are struggling to satisfy such needs are probably not sustainable, regardless of the "fairness" of their economic and political systems.

Put another way, the system 'must work' for a majority of people in it.
Don't know about Italy, but at least in some EU countries, freelancers do build pension.

In my country, pension payments is mandatory. As well as insurance for maternity/paternity leave. I've full medical insurance. Well, as full as regular workers. The only difference is I don't have paid sick days and can't claim unemployment benefits. Which kinda makes sense when freelancing.

I think I'm eligible for disabled pension though. So if I got hit by car, I'd get free treatment. But no salary compensation. If I was rendered disabled, I may be eligible for disabled benefits based on my previous incomes. Or at least basic disabled benefits.
I do not disagree that focus is needed in that area too, but larger gamut can cut down or eliminate many banding artifacts by default.
Not following US politics, so honest question: is Trump campaigning against income inequality?
Exactly, was going to say the same thing. If you have a microkernel, your TCP stack will be in user space and can be more of a framework where applications can be a lot more flexible in how they use it. With the right library structure you could even have custom OSI layers while reusing the rest. This would certainly be less buggy and of higher quality than everyone rewriting it wholly. In that sense, I'm glad we have efforts to reuse seL4 for general purpose operating systems, because it also has a capability system.

My theory on the rise of extremism: the rise in internet connectivity
From what I recall, while Linux doesn't have that in the kernel anymore, Microsoft's IIS still uses an httpd driver, but I don't know if it's optional. And to be clear, ktthpd never got popular. It was written during the times of 10k battles and eventually syscalls were added for Apache and friends to achieve it without an httpd in the kernel.

Edit: khttpd (real name: tux) has actually only existed in Red Hat's and SuSE's kernel and was never mainlined.
I take it as the direction of income inequality is worse than wealth inequality. If 10U$S of new value are created, and only 1$ of it goes to the bottom 60% the bottom will stay there.

In a way, the direction of where you are going matters more than where you are. Even if everyone had food and shelter, we would feel less anxious but inequality would still get more profound and unavoidably end up in some people owning others.
> it's not that the kernel's implementation is shitty

It's not shitty, but it's full of locks and no batching, so it's definitely not suited for modern CPUs.

Why do people buy anything on the high end of the market given its relative high price?

Price is not the only criterion. In fact for socially aware people it might even be a positive -- signaling you do well to others etc. This is not just a shallow thing for personal showing-off: in its general application (ie. not just in laptops), how you look and what you use can have quite an impact on your opportunities and connections.

But it's not like competitive products with smaller prices are just as good in every aspect either.

What actually happens is more like this:

Some cheaper competitive products are as good or even better as MBPr for the basics of computing (raw CPU/GPU), and some people think "computer" and automatically assume that CPU/GPU is all that matters (whereas most people, gamers aside, totally underutilize them).

But they fail to see where those cheaper products fail for someone who can pay for something pricier. E.g. in ergonomics (e.g. the mag-safe power adaptor, multi-touch trackpad, magnetic hinge, illuminated keyboard, etc), and some of the most important factors for laptops you carry frequently: construction (sturdiness), weight, thickness and battery life. Being able to run OS X (and Windows/Linux), and the nicer industrial aesthetics and lack of BS (intel inside stickers, OEM crapware, etc) don't hurt either. And MBPr's monitors frequently review as the best of the competition too (plus, they were the first to introduce hi-dpi screens, at least mass market).

Besides, when you get to the higher end Dells, Sonys etc, and add all the features and trimmings to match 1-1 those MBPr (including the "details" mentioned above), you end up with similar, or even higher in some cases, prices.

So it's down to what you value.

For raw CPU/GPU you can build something cheaper.

For variety/freedom/reuse (build-your-own-with-whatever-parts-you-like too).

But for ergonomics and laptopy-concerns, those Apple laptops are pretty much where it's at, and if you find something comparable (high end Dell, Sony, whatever) it will have a comparable price.
Some people buy new cars, some only buy used. Some people think a night out at the movies is absurd given their relatively high price, yet pay for a paper newspaper rather than just an online subscription which others might not. While I generally agree with the Quora answer, the answer to "Why do people buy X given X is expensive?" is generally "Because it's worth it to them" or "They have to."
Wouldn't it be more important to fight absolute poverty than inequality? Social tension is important and all, but food and medicine should trump that.
I think in that case it would make sense to build your own NIC so that it can operate out of spec. Ethernet PHY ICs that speak MII or RMII are usually only a few dollars each. One of those might give you the signal you are looking for.
I'm no fan of more government regulation. Yet it seems clear that totally unregulated markets with uneducated consumers makes a mess of things
I have an iPad Pro 9.7, and the color differences are very noticeable, especially in the wider variation of grass colors in the shoe image.
In my experience working with a black coworker (doesn't smoke), he would seemingly ignore signals that he needed to modify his behavior example: once he wanted to go into a shop to browse but the shop owner was closing. He talked his way past her, but I distinctly remember feeling uncomfortable; thinking that was something I would never do in a million years, and I'm not the most socially adroit person either. Other than this boorish behavior he is a perfectly reasonable human being who is well known to be very friendly in the community, but I doubt he'd even recognize the existence of the possibility she could have called the police on him.

If people act like boors, it makes sense they are more likely to get arrested.

Another occasion he installed a wooden shed behind the council house (housing for the poor) he lived in. The council predictably told him they would kick his family out of the house if they didn't take it down. Again; another thing I would never have done in a million years because I would have assumed it was obvious I needed permission before building sheds on a property I do not own. Shit, I probably even need planning permission from the government, let alone the property owner in lots of cases.

I strongly suspect it is the same thing with smoking drugs. Some groups act in ways which are far more likely to get them arrested even if they commit those crimes at comparable rates to the native population example: smoking illegal drugs in the street vs smoking them in your own home.

I don't have an explanation for the underlying mechanism but I've seen the same thing time and time again in (five) black persons I've been working with. They're not bad people or stupid, certainly not the ones I work with, but their 'boundaries' just aren't the same as mine and other white coworkers. What is an immediate and definite red flag for trouble ahead to me is invisible to them, it is like there is a communication band they don't access. Which is weird because the five people I worked with were certainly more socially adaptive than I.

My rough guess is that I and other natives have, let us call it: a residual paranoia instinct that black foreigners do not. I expect different groups have different social relations and this is an invisible wall dividing people that hardly anybody feels comfortable thinking or talking about.

Wow that's a really solid answer, and I have to agree with it 100%. Also never knew about the motion sensor. Would explain how it survives just about anything. Nice find!
It's a general thing about data. Just because it is easy to measure doesn't mean its a useful metric.

My hunch is that as expertise increases for developers, LOC/day initially goes up, as they have to think less about language constructs and how to do certain things. Once a certain level of expertise is reached, LOC/day goes down, as the developer figures out how to do more with less code and spends more time in decision making and planning.
Yes, but it takes something like 30 people working on it (honestly no idea how many are required)? so 7 months * 30 and we are getting close to 18 man years.
Servo nightly builds released for Linux and Mac
I've seen order of magnitude differences in performance among developers. The baseline was competent still, mind you; it's just some people are really, really good at their job. And it's not just "oh they put 10x as much LOC while really smart people would focus on proper design": they excel both in theory and practice.

A problem however that you can't really see it in the hiring process. Unlike "0.1x developers" whom you can filter with fizzbuzz, they are indistinguishable from a normal, competent engineer in the interviews, and there aren't many of them around.

Either way, building your company to depend on being staffed by top performers is a dangerous strategy IMO.
There's some evidence that high inequality precedes instability (Piketty good starting point, follow his references & data).

The mechanisms are somewhat nebulous and likely complex and diffuse.

So no single WHY other than stability (I live in the UK and an unpredictable future is really bad for my business as we just found out).
Fasted last 15 years. In my experience, the first couple of days are tough (mainly due to the body adjusting to different sleeping patterns and the lack of coffee), but after getting over that my energy levels come back. My output as a developer increases because my concentration levels are higher. This continues to increase right through the month. While I'm fasting, I feel like "I" have complete power/purity over my body. Fasting is not only to remember the people in poverty, it is to learn self restraint. The week after Ramadhan I begin to regret going back to old habits (5 cups of coffee a day, thinking about food/snacking during the day etc).

The problem I've found people who test it have, is they try the first day and say it's too hard (it is). You only really experience the benefits after a couple of days.
If you ever have a chance to actually calibrate your display with a real hardware calibration tool, I think you'd quickly decide that color management was for you.
Seriously. Anyone who has ever done FOIA requests knows how laughably incorrect that is. If it's not an exemption and it's not classified, you can't just deny it.

Furthermore, if it is denied, you can appeal that decision. It's not going to go back to the same person either, it'll go a lot higher on the foodchain. Do you think a commander/director is going to put up with a FOIA officer who is constantly creating work for them by improperly denying requests? Here's what a response to a FOIA appeal looks like[1]. It's comprehensive and needs to give its reasoning.

I think they shouldn't have complained about something that everyone was following, and a formal code is not very uncommon. I also think that firing everyone point blank just because they wrote a letter is an extreme overreaction. They could have been lectured on professional behavior instead and I'm sure most of them would have understood.
Isn't the real question "why do people buy it, regardless of the price, even though the hardware and software stack isn't capable of providing a fluid experience at that resolution?"? I haven't used a Retina macbook, but I find it hard to believe Apple would sell a macbook that isn't responsive in typical use cases.
