Naturally it could be better but I was riveted. My patience has suffered far more at the hands of more established authors like Tom Clancy and more recently Neal Stephenson with stuff that I really don't need to know.
It's super funny to me but unfortunately american english has picked a different meaning already. I just had an image of him dropping that into conversation with some Americans and things being badly misunderstood...
A tiny reminder about the sophistication of luajit http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/3851#comment-57761
I checked with Frew on this, and we still don't know the answer.
I think that anything that could be scheduled, except for people inherently having variance in their routines, could be fodder for the IoT. For example, the coffee maker idea would work if it were plumbed and drained and only needed cleaning like twice a year. But since my coffee machine already works at the push of a button there isn't much time to save.

The best IoT item I've purchased so far is a sprinkler controller. It does a good job of keeping the grass green, but not too green.
Except that the retrospective IS predictive.
Every fifth slice of toast offers a coupon to your nearest walmart for 38 cents off a stick of butter.
I'd be more interested in "standard of living inequality", especially given two aspects which may be true:

1. It may be the case that everyone today has a higher standard of living overall, than in years past, due to a combination of technological advancement and an overall "a rising tide lifts all boats" phenomenon.

2. There may be a point of diminishing returns in terms of the relationship between income and standard of living. That is, if you double your income, maybe your standard of living doubles (this is all assuming we have a good, objective metric for this). However, if you quadruple your income, your standard of living may not quadruple in turn. And so on...

I'm not saying that relative income disparities don't matter at all, but I think some notion of absolute standard of living might actually be more important in the grand scheme of things.
LOL. Lead developer @55k? Are you sure you aren't posting from Barcelona? How are you going to even attract anyone with seniority at those rates?
Looks good!

Can I buy the software and run it locally? I'm extremely interested for a client, but there is no way they will surrender ownership of their content to a third party - and I sadly won't suggest they do.

I assume they could pay 150-300 bucks for a single-site license and something like 5-6 pages. Their website is very small. Honestly, cook up a license with per n-page fees and I'm sure you'll sell a bunch.
I had the same thought. I found this a moment ago.

The kernel is mapped into the top of the address space of each user spaces process. That is generally pretty efficient which is why it is done.
Although I agree that hyper speeds are not really possible/practical, this article still points out that if you have an average reading speed (200-400 wpm) you should still be able to double or significantly increase your reading speed through training.

The benefits of this are clear and obvious for people who do large amounts if reading out of necessity or pleasure.
wow, with all due respect, to me this vision of the future sounds horrifying. My refrigerator on Facebook? No thank you.

or had no authentication at all, just authorization. imagine having only a openid password to memorize... one can dream right
I'm sure that's true, but the article explicitly says that 60% of the emissions it quotes are from digestion. It's hard to tell if there is a real problem hidden under the irrelevant data, or if this is propaganda from the animal welfare or energy industry lobbies.

It would be great if we could make a material difference to the greenhouse effect just by eating less meat, but that sounds a bit too good to be true.
The development is pretty transparent, if you know where to look. The ChangeLog.txt is the main place where development updates happen (especially the -current ChangeLog, but security updates for stable happen in the respective release's ChangeLog). There's also the mailing lists, and the key people in Slackware hang out on the linuxquestions forums and ##slackware (freenode).
I don't know what you're doing with it, but I've used Outlook for 2 multinational companies for 4+ years each, had several GB of mails for each (probably hundreds of thousands of email per account, most of them automated), and the worst parts of it were a bug with password resets (it keps asking for my password for about a week after quarterly resets) and the slowness of filter sync with Exchange.

As you can see, those were nuisances. Otherwise, it was pretty much rock solid.

Several versions, ran them under XP and Windows 7.

I'd represent it as a sequence of git commands that turn an empty repository into the final product. Then I'd version control the shell script.
A successful revolution won't be possible if the wealthy acquire too much power (in the form of media, technology and war machinery).

If you have a lot of poor people revolting against a small class of wealthy people (human vs human), then the poor are bound to win - But if wealthy people have an army of machines, weapons and powerful media propaganda channels at their disposal, then the poor masses would be completely powerless.

I can see the following scenarios for the future of humanity:

1. The rich own effectively everything and their media propaganda machine becomes so good that the poor masses are completely oblivious as to what is happening. When machines become good enough to replace humans, the poor class will cease to become a productive asset for the wealthy; the poor will become a liability. At this point the rich will leverage their monopoly over the media to initiate a propaganda program to bring the poor class to a slow, merciful self-extinction.

2. The rich own almost everything but because of the internet and decentralized media sources which have remained outside of their control, their media propaganda machine is not effective enough to give them full control over the masses. When the poor cease to be assets for the wealthy, the wealthy will begin to implement various complex strategies to bring the poor masses to extinction - Because of decentralized media and high standards of education among the poor, the poor will become increasingly aware of what is happening and initiate a revolution. In response, the rich will swiftly deploy an army of killer drones and exterminate the poor.

3. The rich own effectively everything. When machines/robots become good enough to replace humans, the rich will see no point in hoarding the enormous amount of free wealth created by these robots and will share all economic proceeds equally amongst the masses. In this scenario, everyone lives happily ever after... Until robots take over and bring us all to extinction.
Yep. Had to right click, inspect element, delete the header element. Article is unreadable otherwise.
People used to be able to share their paper with others. Now you might get a threatening legal notice if you do the equivalent on the Internet.

Fixing reporter compensation probably requires entirely new business models. Entrenched players will probably never even consider them.
The Chemical History of a Candle
There was some coverage including labs at this week's RedHat Summit. Once all the materials are on line that may prove a useful 1.3 reference.
What was the controversy about?
I work on Windows. I can say that Thunderbird is far better that Outlook.
This is kinda happening - the "UHD Alliance Premium Certified" spec for TVs mandates 10-bit from the input to the panel. It's a shame the UHD Blu-ray standard doesn't mandate 10-bit, thought hopefully most will use it :) Dolby Vision mandates 12-bit mastering and delivery, though it sounds like 10-bit connections to the panel can be considered acceptable...
Haven't tried it out yet but does it handle `grep "string" *txt -r` like it should ? Last time I checked it didn't get recursivity.
There isn't a "WSL's bash.exe". WSL run Ubuntu binaries.
Wow. Building homes is one hell of an ethnic cleansing operation.
Hah, yes. Mixminion is a good example of a high latency mixnet. There has been some talk of adding a high latency option to I2P as well at some point.

Yes, this is so true. I am curious to see an elegant solution for this particular problem.
The issue was mainly that he didn't responsibly disclose the exploit.
Interesting. I have always been intrigued by the idea of speed reading, but my "natural" reading speed always seemed just fast enough (around 500 wpm) that it never seemed worthwile to invest the time to get what I assumed would be a marginal increase in speed.

But if this is right, I made a good call by not spending the time trying to learn to "speed read" as I'm close to the max anyway. I don't know if I should feel happy or sad about that. It would be nice to be able to read faster, but... at least I know I'm not a complete laggard.
Try KDE. Not sane defaults, but you can change at your pleasure.
Ansible itself is written in Python, but yeah, the plugins can be written in pretty much anything.
When reporters do some actual work, like with the FT, I am happy to pay for a subscription. The FT is pretty reliable in term of the quality of information and that has some value.

Most newspaper were merely rehashing and commenting news agencies releases. I think the internet just revealed that they were adding very little value.
Baruch dayan emet. When I was a young boy I had the good fortune to meet Mr. Wiesel and chat with him for a while about his book 'Night', an life in general. He was one of the warmest, most intelligent and interesting people I've ever met.
I think this is one of those cases where initiative and begging for forgiveness paid off.

It did seem like he was doing it to satisfy his own curiosity more than anything though. Be interesting to know what the family thought of his write up if anything.

Thanks, that makes a big difference. Apparently you can't trust newspapers even on the orders of magnitude for these things.
You know, if Israel wanted to ethnically cleanse someone, they wouldn't still be around. Do you not understand how bombs and fire work? You may not like what their restraint looks like, you may argue for much more, but the level of hyperbole you're engaging in is pointless.

Correct! But for wider gamuts (and higher-contrast displays), the benefit becomes more obvious in the lack of banding.
It will be vastly amusing when turning on a lamp or a microwave will require authorization from a machine in Kansas (or Kazakhstan, whatever).
The absolute amount a person is only loosely correlated with their standard of living. Especially when the amount of free time they have/etc is factored in.

Even in the US, 34K a year is a living wage in some parts of the country while in others its extremely hard to survive. Beside the obvious cost of living expenses for house, transportation, food, there is also the question of, how your making the 34k a year. If you can earn it in less than 40 hours a week you have time to supplement your income growing a garden, fixing your own car, or spending time tutoring your children. OTOH, if it takes 80 hours a week to earn that then you pretty much have to pay people to take care of all the little things you could be doing yourself.

Some thoughts on meeting etiquette and effective communication
You know, I can see the appeal of this, and I live in an age of television, radio, video games and printed books. If I were a bored person a good long time ago, this might have been the one exciting and wondrous thing in your life.
I understand this frustration. I really really do. Just being a code monkey to the direction the PHBS set.

I do ask you to take the flip side. Do you want your non tech savvy PHBS at your meeting setting your technical direction? Should they tell you what Web framework to use? What IDE? Tabs vs spaces? OOP vs FOP?

Most engineers who I know are really mad about not helping more with business decisions, but they won't listen to a pointy hair boss making technical decisions. Why is that?

It's disturbing how quickly you can be drawn into a national narrative that you really have nothing at all to do with.
"At times" grossly understates the role of DARPA and other government support in creating technologies commercialized by Silicon Valley. The entire industry was a direct product of public investment and most key innovations are a culmination of long-term sustained taxpayer-funded research.

Take for example autonomous driving. It's a product of DARPA. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DARPA_Grand_Challenge

Even Siri on your iPhone is a result of decades of public investment in AI. See https://www.sri.com/work/timeline-innovation/timeline.php?ti...

Need I even mention the Internet itself..
It's not about paying the most, it's about paying a fair amount. And as I mentioned above people get a significant profit share every quarter.

And in the end it's not all about money. Especially not for us.
Check out SiteLeaf. It is a paid service, but a good price.
It was so close, it just missed the boat. It will hopefully be on the next boat.
It really depends on what you're reading. You can take a great many non-fiction e.g. social science books and stick to the introduction and conclusion, plus some skimming of what's in between, and still grok the general gist of what's in there. Not saying you get full comprehension - far from it. But you'll get a lot of it because it's massively redundant, especially if you're familiar with the underlying patterns and heuristics (which I'd argue are largely grounded in experimental social psychology).
Looks a lot like SiteLeaf.com to me.
intelligent but not internet-connected sprinkler controllers have existed for a long time though. What's the benefit of connecting it to the net?
You can't, in general, adjust the size of block devices purely transparently. We don't currently support blockdev resizing. Would love to talk about how to achieve that, though
What evidence supports that position?

Crashes are anaomolus events that happen for very specific reasons. Reasons that do not have any seeming connection to any other crash. I don't see how a retrospective could predict anything about the success of future flights.
That's how the Unix History Repository was built, at least (a really cool project that reconstructed a synthetic git commit history for Unix from the initial Bell Labs source onward):

I think the name itself is broken. Most applications just need to be a local network of things.

Having a million device thats that are difficult to audit, configure and sensitive to internet and service outages is a nightmare recipe.

Not sure how to solve this in an easy to fix way but it makes me miss the days of RFCs and standards. Seems like we need something higher level than z-wave, zigbee and 802.11.
Assuming you're an employee, this is a feature. Your old employer probably doesn't want you taking your email with you, and rightly so - and your new employer very likely doesn't want you bringing your old email with you, for exactly the same reason. So... there you go. What's the problem?

I suggest embracing this rather than worrying about it.
The IE11 result makes me weep here, given the popularity of it - thanks for doing these tests. The amount of work we put into maintaining correct colour through the production chain seems increasingly wasted...

FYI I tested Safari 9.1.1 (11601.6.17) and it failed on a whole bunch of the tests, including, frighteningly, the untagged HD 709 H264 :(

I think another component is the ability to do more because you're doing it faster. And doing more might be more pleasurable.

So "Have more (enjoyable activity), faster!" That might not apply to sex.
This pertinent HBR blog post is very interesting: https://hbr.org/2016/03/dont-use-round-numbers-in-a-negotiat...

The TL;DR version is that acquisition offers in round numbers signal that the buyer hasn't done proper due diligence. "Round initial offers were less likely to secure a deal than precise offers. When they did, they ended up costing the bidder more. All other things being equal, an acquisition launched with a bid rounded to the $5 level had, on average, an $18 million larger price tag than an acquisition launched with a more precise bid. The stock market reaction was also 2% less (i.e., the bidder’s stock price jumped on average 2% less) for bidders making round offers than for those making precise offers."

Jumping in to say I would love one for CSS in general. There is a sushi-themed one for selectors and a frog-themed one for flexbox.
so true, the self service aspect is indeed amazing. once developers or qa people grok the concepts and api it can do wonders to your productivity.

also, working with k8s will probably spoil you, it's pretty annoying to "go back" to other environments, where you're confronted with problems which would be effortlessly solvable in kubernetes.
Oh c'mon, stop making the same lame excuses over and over again. I've been living in Spain for the better part of a decade and love this country, but the reputation for being racist is well deserved.

Or government could let people decide how many children they want to have and let them pay for their kids. It will automatically solve the problem in the long run. Governments trying to control it will lead to problems like they have in China (because having children was largely de-incentivised, they are going to have a big hole in the working population soon and have a lot of old people to support) and Europe (because they are incentivising population growth now, they are bound to increase a generation of population burst which will be a problem in the long run).
That sequence of actions is how you would fix the timeline represented by the git repo, but each time you make a fix, the previous version of the timeline is erased[1] by the force push. There is no mechanism to record the history of all the modifications you have made to the timeline. For this, you need a second git repo.

It might help to think of it in terms of time travel and alternate universes. You go back in time and kill Hitler, and now the entire timeline from that point onward is different. But maybe you decide that you need to go back in time and make further changes to history, e.g. preventing the assassination that triggered WW1. Every change you make creates a new universe, and now you need a way to keep track of all the alternate universes that you created, in case one of your changes turns out to make things worse. You need to keep track of the history of each universe, and you also need to keep track of the history of alternate universes that you created by changing history. There's now two levels of history, hence two git repos.

[1] Technically it's not erased until the next garbage collection, but that's beside the point.
You laugh, but the Bay Area is like one level of NIMBYism away from Palestine.

In some way, it's a bit strange that someone can take a picture of you and then -sell- it.

Given that you can not take a picture of a statue and sell the picture, or even publish it, it's even more strange.

For what it's worth, there's current ARM propaganda [huge PDF!] at http://emit.tech/EMiT2016/Adeniyi-Jones-EMiT2016-Barcelona.p... (and incidentally something related to a more interesting sort of ARM-based system from the same meeting: http://emit.tech/EMiT2016/Navaridas-EMiT2016-Barcelona.pdf). That may not be terribly relevant to Fujitsu, though.
The actual Internet of things is Tesla collecting 130 million miles of autopilot data to make autopilot safer. It's GE collecting data from the jet engines they produce to understand failures and do predictive maintenance. It's Netapp collecting error logs from fileservers in the field, so they know how to prioritize their bug database, which performance bottlenecks to fix, and what limitations actual customers encounter.

That's the real internet of things. Just ignore all the (hype for) idiotic connected home crap covered by the popular press. Yes vendors are producing these products but the only feature I want is a a global disable for any such thing I accidentally bring into my home.
No. We have airplanes now, with precision guided bombs including bunker busters.

Ah, remember when dominos came out and was like, "We know we suck, but we're better now, I swear!" And for a minute, dominos got better. But now? Well now it's basically back to the same old shenanigans. Maybe it was just my hopeful imagination that convinced me they got better at all?

Maybe this is how it goes with Microsoft (just like yahoo).

Thinking about it, can anyone cite an example within the last 10 years when a non-founder CEO came in and successfully "turned things around" at a company? I can't.
I ran a i2p router for year, mostly because I didn't mind. This is a kind of a hen-egg-problem, I guess. There is not any content in i2p I'm aware off besides a torrent site. And I probably don't want to know what the content is I'm not aware of.

While I think this is in theory much cooler than tor, it's a way less practical, i guess.
