Short version: a lot of us don't even think about the fonts as long as we have and ordinary monospaced one when we edit code.

Long version: It seems there are two kinds of people here:

Some like me never think about any font that finds its way into any mainstream distro.

Others seems to care deeply about them.

I find it useful to keep this in mind as I honestly find one of the highly praised Mac a usability disaster (tried honestly to work with it or around it for almost three years).
Show your work.
You could easily run into the same scenario over a real network as well. Perhaps in that case, Linux would send a RST to the SYN; it's hard to know without testing since localhost on linux skips most of the TCP stack, FreeBSD runs the full stack though -- you can get congestion collapse on lo0 if you push it hard enough or find exciting (fixed) bugs in syncookies leading to desynchronized TCP states.

127.0.0.0/8 is a pretty huge selection of ips to talk to yourself with -- if that's not enough ports for you, you can use UNIX sockets or take over DoD address space. (or ipv6)
I had no idea SGI was still around. Does anyone know if IRIX is still around in some capacity as well then?
Prime>Odd>Even..

However, 17 was superior to 18 in my mind aesthetically, not numerically. If you'd make me choose between receiving $18MM or $17MM, I'm not above receiving an extra one.
I went down this route once. It's not worth it. You'll spend so. much. *time. troubleshooting the smallest of details at seemingly random intervals.

Frankly, if Linux is an option, try that first. It's less work and more fun (IMO). I've been strongly considering actually running Windows with the Linux subsystem turned on. If you think about it, that solves the same kinds of problems that a Mac does: you get nice Unix-y functionality, a wide variety of shells/cli utilities that just work, and you can run commercial applications (Photoshop and the like come to mind, but also games if you're into that). Of course, it's not a Mac and you get all of the nastiness that comes with Windows (viruses, having to reload every 6 months to keep things snappy, etc), but I'm beginning to see it as a more economical option than a Mac and potentially easier to deal with than Linux (as someone that has been using a Mac for a workstation for years + Linux on servers and other workstations).
How can something "decline 3x?" Lol.
Surprised Kuchera, who's been around a minute, doesn't mention the analogy with JRPGs and random home invasion / looting.

Sure some of them included witty triggers on a minority of chests, but by and large the "visit new place, steal everything that's not nailed down, profit" trope persisted and continues to persist.

PS Edit: On the going-to-Africa-to-kill-a-lion comment, for a more nuanced take, I would highly recommend this RadioLab episode. It's an amazingly balanced treatment of an emotional topic from a multitude of perspectives. Corey Knowlton (who paid to kill a black rhino and did so) makes an incredibly clear, realistic, and essentially Roosevelt-ian argument for game management near the end.

You can't just look at the supply side. It's hard to imagine there's very much demand for $500-$1000/month maid services, especially in areas where all these people on welfare live.

Also, do you know anyone on welfare in the US? Do they really seem like they're "sitting around" to you?
Funny you should mention Korora:

Either, depending on the context. What's your point?
I wish an empty string was not false.

In 'object' terms, an empty string is still a string! It's something.

This is really the best answer in my opinion. You have to do it long enough and consistently enough to learn what routine is for you, and to get into that routine. Once you do it'll feel weird not to go to the gym (or do whatever) and you'll have to use very little willpower to stick with it.

But in order to get to that point you'll need self discipline and patience, it'll probably take a few months to get into the groove. No way to do it but just to decide it's time and start.

I strongly sympathize, I was allergic to organized exercise until my late 30's. But at the end of the day there's no secret, except that it does get way way easier once it's in a routine.

IBM's reputation is utterly nonsensical. I've worked for a company bought by IBM and for companies that used IBM's products/services and they've never been anything other than mediocre, sometimes outright bad, with costs that are astronomical.

My recommendation is that if you ever think about using an IBM product, hire a developer instead. You'll pay less money for a developer than you would pay for an IBM product, and after they're done implementing a the product better whatever unreliable enterprise clusterfuck IBM would shoehorn into your "solution", you have a developer who can work on other things.
Yeah I had a similar experience with a dell convertable with a baytrail low end quad core. An expensive coaster expect for the most basic kinds of tasks but if linux were running stable it would be a usable machine.

What the hell does this mean?
There is UEFI Byte Code (EBC) which at least in theory can be used to write drivers. http://www.uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/EBC_Driver... Anecdotally, cards come with EBC drivers which flat out don't work.

There was also Forth Fcode used in Open Firmware. It was never widely adopted.

Basically any universal driver framework is going to be compromised in some way that you won't like. Either it'll be too slow because it cannot use specific features of the operating system. Or it will annoy OS developers by tying them to an ABI which they don't want to support forever. Or (like EBC) it won't be widely supported and/or won't work at all because in reality no one cares about this.
Is there any income quartile in any developed country that has less prestigious or lower real incomes per full-time worker than the equivalent in the immediate post war period?

Except for that fact that you chose to interject on behalf of the emotions you presumed he would have?

> I suggest you read intopieces' reply to vonmoltke, and have a think about this exchange from a fresh perspective.

I did read it. What you read into it was some kind of assault that isn't necessarily there in the first place. I read it as a challenge to back up his claims (especially now due to subsequent posts), but one could also read it as simply being curious. Perhaps you should try the fresh perspective?

Being challenged on a broad claim that is supported only with anecdote is pretty par for the course on HN. This isn't a support group, it's adult discussion. Should we stop challenging broad claims whenever people bring personal anecdotes to the table? After all, even seemingly innocuous anecdotes could be deeply painful for the people involved.

> Remember that when people talk about losing their loved ones, a little tact goes a long way. Asking so bluntly for research you could look for yourself (that pharma companies would never actually publish) comes across as tactless in this situation...

You've moved the goalposts. You didn't say you had a problem with how he said it (i.e. tact), you said you had a problem with what he said (i.e. "don't do that...") Even so, being "blunt" (your interpretation) isn't being disrespectful. Not everyone wants sugarcoating on their cereal. I'd say your perspective here has quite a lot to do with how you would like to be treated, but that doesn't mean others feel the same way.

If anything it's just cementing their reputation as a complete joke.

Corp sector in Australia is on the tail end ridding themselves of IBM nonsense after a decade of utter incompetence.

Unfortunately the gov sector catches on slowly.

That is, even without it being a "default location", sending people to the GPS coordinates obtained from an IP mapping database is nonsense.

Ignoring the default location issue.

Imagine I'm a police officer and I don't know that MaxMind returns a default location. I then take an IP pop it into my tool and it gives me a lat/long. I take that transpose it on a map and see that to my surprise there's a single home or address at that location (these folks live on a 600 acre ranch). If I'm an investigator and all I have to work with is an IP, even knowing that MaxMind isn't perfect wouldn't it still be worth it to take a trip out to that point to investigate?

BTW Just for giggles this is the map if you use the returned coordinates

Well, you're right that the article title changed (judging by the html webpage title). But the it's also a re-phrasing of the sub-title ("The history of science has been distorted by a longstanding conviction that correct theories about nature are always the most elegant ones"), which is allowed for clickbait or otherwise less informative titles.

Eagerly Evaluated Questions, with Joseph Jevnik
They are exploring it, it's just slow. Lots of cars now come with "mild hybrid" systems which capture kinetic energy and store it in a supercapacitor, using it to charge the battery and power electrical loads (which are significant these days, with things like electric power steering). Mazda's i-eLoop is one such system (available only on high-end vehicles at additional cost), and Volvo has a similar system, and I imagine some other automakers do too.

The reason you don't see this kind of system everywhere is most likely cost; these systems cost extra. I have the Mazda system on my car; there's a pricey supercapacitor for storing power, plus a pricey DC-to-DC converter under the driver's seat, plus a special high-voltage alternator, plus a special battery. It improves fuel economy by 1-2mpg, which is the other reason you probably don't see them that much: an extra $500 or more in the new price of a car is a lot for an extra 1-2mpg when gas is $2/gallon and everyone's buying SUVs.

Such systems could be done better, but that's likely going to cost even more; to get a more significant improvement you really need to go full-hybrid with a large traction motor, which of course is going to make the vehicle cost even more. Take a look at the Chevy Volt for a good example of what you can achieve here: it's a serial hybrid with a small gas engine with generator plus a traction motor that actually moves the car. It can go 50+ miles without using any gas, which is pretty cool, but when the gas engine comes on (like for long trips) it can only get fuel economy in the low 40s because of the lossiness in the system. On top of that, having all that hardware in the car (engine, generator, motor, battery pack) limits the useful space, and the cost of the vehicle is rather high. Or you can get a Toyota Prius which is a parallel hybrid (engine drives wheels) and gets much better highway economy, but it can't go very far without burning gas and it's pretty expensive for an economy car with very anemic performance.

Tech CEO der Zukunft
Red Hat is the open source company, cheesy as that sounds. They don't lock anything but support, patent indemnification and ISV certifications behind a paywall. Don't want to pay for RHEL, they provide the SRPM's they used to build all their packages, go grab a rebuild (CentOS, Scientific Linux) and go to town (we use CentOS at work to run mission-critical loads, if we decide we need support later we can always switch). This is universally true of literally every product they have, from Satellite (Foreman+Pulp+Candlepin) to RHEV (oVirt), JBoss products, IdM (FreeIPA), storage (glusterfs+ceph).

Red Hat isn't a company that makes money by taking open source projects as a base and adding proprietary features on top, everything they make is under an open source license and anyone (regardless of whether the paid for it or not) can grab the source packages off their FTP server and build it themselves. Contrast this to Canonical who sells proprietary tools for Ubuntu (Landscape, a big sore spot for me), kept Launchpad proprietary for the longest time, Ubuntu One (though this is now dead).

And then we have the other big name in "Enterprise" Linux, SUSE, and we've got loads of proprietary software their sister companies sell (Novell, NetIQ) from eDirectory to GroupWise, the list here goes on.

Red Hat is an engineering organization dedicated to one thing. Sure, they have a sales channel and a large partner ecosystem, but at the core of their business is making fully open source products that people want to use (and hopefully buy support for).

Is it just a matter of keeping the information on 2 separate systems, or are there tools that let you for instance mark one query as "take your time and make sure everything is 100% up to date before committing this" and another as "return whatever you got, it's not important"?

Current discussion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12270448
I may regret posting this since it's getting far off the topic of language, but the discussion is an interesting one.

I don't think the line is drawn on the viability spectrum. A baby isn't viable until a month before it comes out of the womb, and that's a stretch. So I don't think this is a matter of people disagreeing with what constitutes viable because there really can't be any debate about that. I would argue that "potentiality" is a better term here.

The arguments, at their core, revolve around the fact that you have two living things who's interests may not be aligned. It's a question of who's interests will be favored.

Now, you can feel what you want about this, I don't want to get into a policy argument, but let's not dance around the issue, abortion is about the conflict between two abhorrent options.

Fedora is a Red Hat community project, a large majority of people involved with it daily are Red Hat employees (go check out fedora-devel and see how many @redhat.com addresses there are).

Two things.

Second, large sample sizes are preferred exactly to help even out the variables that are uncontrolled or, especially, unknown.

I've been creating software professionally for over 20 years. The only tools from the start that are still in my toolbox are Unix (now Linux) and SQL. Java didn't even exist when I started, nor did Python or Ruby or JavaScript or even Apache. But my job feels basically the same. It always will, because the problems are always out there at the edge. They're incredibly specific, and often at the bleeding edge of what software can do.

Basically, software meets human needs. You need humans to come up with problems to solve, and describe them specifically enough that a computer can be programmed to repeat the solution. So those creative tasks, and the discipline of turning vague human ideas into strict logic, those aren't going anywhere, at least not with the tools we have today, or a reasonable extrapolation of those tools into the future. Programming languages may change, but the existence of programming languages does not. You still need humans to figure out how to say what they really mean.

On the other hand, I could spend days or weeks configuring a development server old-school, or I can run 'vagrant up' and have a perfect, repeatable development environment that works on any server. That's the robots. I love the robots.
Futurism is how you get there. It's unfortunate that most popular future imaginings are post-apoc or dystopian. But we were once there with the idyllic old star trek universe - one where humanity used tech to utopian ends.

but the examples you gave of political views were "Far Left" "Fox News" "Social Justice Warriors" whereas George Orwell would be concerned about how the seemingly staid mainstream's use of political language. 'smart bombs' 'neutralize target' 'pacification [of Vietnam]' etc are all vocabulary promulgated by establishment politicians and mainstream newspapers and vastly more dangerous than what "social justice warriors" try to foist.

Hmmm. I'm not sure what the FSF's opinion on it would be. Since they don't call it the GPL (I must've skipped over that part) then they might be in the clear -- though they're still modifying the license text by prepending restrictions to it that make the rest of the license text contradictory.

Yes, actually they do. Power MOSFETs are usually in the 30-60V range. When you go higher than that, costs go way up and you generally need to switch to IGBTs. MOSFETs capable of switching 30V loads at extremely high loads (like 100A) are dirt cheap. Power devices capable of switching 100V are not.
You misread the explanation. Data from another process is in the cache, but your process can't access it (due to virtual memory protection). But you can still extract side-band information by measuring the cache latency.
