Why Markdown?

I know that it is widely used, but that's only because GitHub pushed it so much.

AsciiDoc is superior in almost every aspect. For larger texts I can strongly recommend it. The toolchain is mature, there are many modules for everything, even included UML from text description, if you need it.

Moreover, in addition to HTML output, AsciiDoc has proper PDF and LaTeX output as well.

Really, Markdown is only good within its niche, while AsciiDoc has a mature toolchain and has a proper extension system, so that new features are additional modules for the main tool, rather than incompatible forks of the Markdown processor.

There is the original AsciiDoc tool, but for modern use I recommend Asciidoctor.

Bisecting with commits that weren't actually tested because no-one ever checked out a tree that literally looked like that is worse, IME. I'd rather embrace the fact that the commits I have to work with are what Bob had on his workstation on Tuesday and what Jim had on his workstation on Tuesday than try to bisect using a "fictional" commit that's actually "what Jim had on Tuesday + Bob's changes up to Friday".
I like this idea of this.

You're claiming that SHA1 has been broken, but it hasn't. Have a closer look at what's actually stated at [2].

Edit: from your [1] link I see that the hashing algorithm used in a mgnet link isn't actually fixed, and MD5 is one option. So yeah, I guess you actually can't trust the immutability of a magnet link without checking it's doesn't contain urn:md5 or urn:kzhash.
That's not true. There is no state or federal government that mandates paid family leave that has to be covered by the employer. The family leave act only mandates up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave.
Boolean transparency can be performed in any order, so you can use non-boxes straightforwardly. It's only semi-transparent textures or alpha-blended objects that need more help if they're to be blended correctly relative to each other (and most situations will involve particle & sizzle effects, which don't need true correctness anyway).

No. Nonononononononono. We were ALMOST FREE! Just get these high-level abstractions out of my effing kernel. They don't belong there. Linus said as much himself. The only reason kdbus, this thing's predecessor, got so much as a glance is that Linus trusts Greg KH. A trust I would now consider somewhat misplaced. This is yet another piece of crap that was tacked on by systemd nonsense. It's non-portable, and they want us to use it upstack.

Have these people lost their effing minds? Do they think we don't care about compatability? Just because Lennart said "screw POSIX" doesn't mean you should do it.
That's really... good. I have the theory that whether or not you see this is as an attempt at a legitimate explanation or just a joke depends on your level of self-confidence. I think few people will actually understand it (if they do it's a miracle, since such understanding would be a product purely of your own mind trying to interpret sense into what it sees), but those who lack self-confidence will see the fault in themselves, while those with enough confidence upon realizing they don't understand it will realize it's a joke, because if it wasn't they should have understood it.

Of course, now I'm open to a reply that demonstrates that it isn't a joke but makes perfect sense and that I'm clueless and overconfident... :)

The first point you make there is pure diversion

The second is poorly supported rubbish

The third is mere politics and had no bearing whatsoever on the veracity of the phenomenon.

So yes, handwaving to try to support your continued position of denial, with no solid reason at all. The 'cheek' comes in that you accuse others of the same.

Rational debate is impossible with people like yourself, that cling to miniscule distractions and bring politics into science, yes.

It's like creationism in that you start with something you don't like (the politics of the 'other side' and what you think they're trying to achieve) and then go looking for justification for your foregone conclusion.

I was able to hack together an ugly version of a hololens from a tracfone LCD and some VR lenses.

Anyone hacking this type of stuff together? I have some interesting concepts I have experimented with that include custom molded light pipe directly contacting the cornea and getting a relatively crisp picture. Hit me up, I love experimenting with optics and I might actually have a few novel concepts (but as a hobbyist, hard for me to tell if they have been done before)
That's great! Until something breaks.
I use https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/ on recommendation from a colleague, and I'm pretty happy. No logs, plenty servers, no real issues, and they recently shut down their Russian server due to imminent privacy concerns. So I feel that they have their priorities straight.

I used https://www.frootvpn.com/ briefly when it was free - seemed ok too, but not many servers back then.

Depends really what you want to use it for, but you could look into something like https://www.zerotier.com/ or even hosting your own.

This blames digital culture. But the collapse of institutional trust came with the rise of neoliberalism, and convincing people there was no longer any such thing as a job for life. So this set in well before the Internet. It may have furthered it, of course.
From reading your comment and the article, I think you're talking about different types of trust.

I trust my colleagues at all levels, say, not to steal £10 I leave in my desk. But the article is talking about the kind of trust to be working hard the whole time, competently, totally for the best interests of the company.

Given how common it is for us to moan about our useless and lazy bosses (and fellow programmers), I have to agree that trust of that nature isn't very common. I can't say whether it has got more or less common prevalent over time, though.
The entire premise of the article seems to be based on the following paragraph and I simply did not understand it:

"In other words, the propensity for email, texting and quick-type apps has led us to forget some of our people skills, including distinguishing the nuances of language and meaning, fostering of a feeling of belonging among groups of people, and knowing our bosses and colleagues well enough to have confidence that others will pull their weight. That, in turn, has diminished implicit and earned trust among the people we work with."

How has has the use of quick-type apps eroded trust exactly? I don't follow this. Can anyone clarify?
I use PIA and I can't complain. One issue I noticed that may affect others as well is that they are being blocked more and more around the internet. I don't think this is only a PIA problem though.

I've been learning about neural networks lately and implemented mines in golang. The biggest problem I had was that python is not chosen randomly: neural networks scientists use it because of numpy.

Most importantly, numpy makes it really easy to deal with matrices (~ array of arrays). You just make operations on them as if they were classic numbers (so, you can do `a + b`, where both a and b are matrices).

While translating it into other languages not having numpy is indeed possible, expect a bit of intellectual gymnastic.

I don't know which language you targeted, but for those who wish to use golang, I made this matrix library: https://github.com/oelmekki/matrix

EDIT: oh, btw. I'm initially a ruby dev. I've learnt python just enough to be able to understand NNs code, that was easy (took me an afternoon). I won't pretend this makes me a python developer, but learning just enough to translate code in an other langage is straightforward.

Well, you're feeling nice and smug, as usual. And after vomiting upon seeing this, I don't blame you.

OTOH, some of the above you mentioned isn't bad. Linux's "just a kernel" philosophy can be useful, and allows people to experiment with new inits (s6, runit, &c) and new systems that come in handy.

And go see Brendan Gregg's talk on Linux tracers. It's not as simple is dtrace, given the tracing war hasn't been won, but it's at a place where you CAN do most of the things dtrace does.

The question is then, why is it that with all the technology/automation we got hasn't life gotten cheaper?
I have managed remote employees for years and while I still think it's a good tool in the box for providing a healthy and happy workplace, as well as recruiting/retaining talent in situations where you couldn't otherwise, I've grown increasingly jaded about the idea of functional, fully-remote organizations.

The trust issue referenced in this article is one element but there are many others:

- Many people don't handle the level of autonomy well, or don't stay motivated in isolation
- Harder to engage a remote employee in company culture and values
- There is a big difference between remote in the same time zone/country and remote on the other side of the world
- Management invariably has less control over a remote employee and less ability to command their immediate attention

I think comparing "remote work" with "not remote work" is a massive oversimplification of the issue that does everyone a disservice. There is the group of remote contractors you've never met, there's the team of fulltime employees that live within a few hours' flight of each other and meet several times a year, there's the guy who works in the office 3 days a week and at home from 2. So what are we really talking about? Generalities are not productive.

The dark spectres hovering over the head of remote work are that remote employees often end up being less productive and less available when you really need them.

For certain types of work and certain types of people these issues are more or less pronounced... this is not a black and white thing. But I am pretty sure we will never see a future where everyone is a fully remote worker.

How to detect if a user of your site has a disability
Er, hang on, I don't have a sense of entitlement about this and if it came across that way it wasn't intended.

Point is, I had only 8 domains on the cert and it didn't manage to complete most of the time. It's either an issue with the LEGO client, LE or Namecheap API.
But if you've done some C, and maybe a scripting language or two, and are willing to squint at the code a bit, LoL will do you fine. Just make sure you have a handle on recursion.
Nice writeup.

I'm currently writing a (technical) book in markdown, and I know I am going to pay for it later, but I don't care because I'm able to write quickly without anything getting in the way. I'm able to use git to commit changes and a host of tools to preview the work.

Also, using markdown now will force me to edit it again when putting a final version together for a real editor.

For the skeptics: I don't see how using markdown is any worse than using a typewriter. Its an interim medium that allows for quick capture of structure and thought.
No, you got that wrong. I mean exactly that kind of trust in their abilities as coworkers. The thought of interpreting that in a "criminal" sense never even occurred to me. You may (re)interpret that as you will.

I can see now how a possible interpretation that surely somebody will come up with - whether they post it or not - is that I am clueless myself and that that's the reason I had such positive experiences. May be, I would be the last one to know, right? On the other hand, work as a well-paid freelancer who likes to not just not get fired but also to get the contract renewed would be hard if that was so, I think?

That previous paragraph shows I actually do have a trust issue: (now speaking generally, not in response to the comment) online I've come to expect bad things happening. You post something you think is positive and interesting and out of nowhere comes an interpretation that is dark and turns it all on its head.

Even in the GDR chemical factory, where it would have been extremely easy and would have had few repercussions, most people (actually everybody I ever worked with there, and I saw many different departments) voluntarily decided to do what it takes to keep things running as well as they could. When they didn't work it was because there really wasn't anything to do. I never saw anyone neglecting their duty. My apprenticeship was for a very technical job "BMSR Techniker" - measurement, control and regulation technology, so I never was an office worker but in the production line or in construction (electrical infrastructure).

I do remember that a (random) manager in the chocolate factory I worked for three weeks during winter break at university didn't trust me:

I had just fed a machine - more thoroughly than necessary - and had nothing to do until it would be finished 10 minutes later, so I sat down and read in my French lesson book - always with an ear for the machine next to me. I could not have done any other work even if I wanted, there was only that machine in that room.

In comes a manager (that I didn't know) - immediately assuming I'm a lazy SOB. It was the complete opposite - I LIKE to work, and I had until then - without any supervision or pressure - done much more than asked. That changed somewhat after that !$%"§$ manager treated me like dirt.

Okay, so there is this guy that I didn't trust, but he wasn't even my manager, he just happened to walk by, never met him again but he ruined the entire three weeks of work experience. I never bought anything that I knew was made in that factory again.
Thanks. I did look up "meh" on duckduckgo, and saw something about an "impulse buy" (meh.com), then wondered what is added by using these neologisms. Now I see that the third result for each of these words is from urbandictionary.com, and those definitions comport exactly with yours.

Every written human language has a vernacular versus a written form, typically with a cline between them. English is the closest in correspondence between the two, among the languages I know, but the difference remains.

I do read English every day, but it is much slower for me when people use neologisms that don't have germanic, greek, or roman antecedents, as most English words do. I don't mind learning new vocabulary, especially when it is more precise or apt, as is often the case in math, philosophy, art, or in technical works.

The neologisms this author chose to use are interjections, and I still don't see what power was added to his prose by their use. I suppose they act as shibboleths, signalling his class identity in some way. The entries on urbandictionary.com do give a clue: the origins appear to be "Bill Cosby", "The Simpsons" and "South Park". The OP likes comedy and cartoons? Or marijuana? It's common to hear people talking about getting stoned and watching "The Simpsons" or "South Park" all day. And, that may partially explain his inability to debug his code.

Thanks again.
I agree. I can't see any real reason for this to be in the kernel. Is it faster? Does it need access to memory in some way you can't do in userspace? The only practical reason I can think is if it is in the kernel you can 100% rely on it being present and available. Userspace processes can be killed.

So perhaps the real solution is to provide some kind of mechanism for userspace processes that act like kernel drivers, in that they are definitely running all the time, but actually run in userspace.

Markdown was popular long before Github.

The reason for using Markdown is simple: pandoc. Pandoc is just that damned good.
You are probably right. But it sounds in very similar way to the Year of Linux Desktop in contrast to Windows Desktop or Linux Gaming in contrast to Windows Gaming. "Linux is all the better! But we don't have all the drivers, because of those pesky hardware companies. But we don't have all the software, because of those pesky software companies. But we don't have all the preinstalls, because of those pesky OEMs."

It might be better, but you can't strike out network effects. Because then you just end up with another rant why your thing is superior to that other thing everyone is using.

I am wondering if good old things are not just predestined to be unpopular. Probably only new things can get popular (even if they are just miserable copies of great old ideas). Next generation is more inclined to pick up something from the news than from history books. Next generation has their new lingo, so they will not understand easily old lingo. Next generation is cheaper to employ than older generation, so it's easier to get more in terms of quantity. Most (young?) people want everything, even if mediocre, now, than having few perfect things now, few perfect things later. The world belongs to the youth.

How To: Classic Glam Makeup Tutorial NO EYELINER/FAKE LASHES
Glad to see you guys are listening and open.

Guess I'll toss in my own gripe. I played an album for my newborn daughter to put her to sleep. Some nice soothing acoustic guitar. Yet when it reaches the end it just auto plays some other loud rock track instead of stopping or giving the option to loop. Made my own playlist of the same tracks from the album hoping that would stop the offending track from playing at the end, but no such luck.

Am I missing something stupid? I can't even figure out how it is selecting this other random track to play at the end of my playlist.
That's just a daemon.

The reason this is in the kernel is that DBus is slow (according to Linus, because it could have been written better by monkeys with typewriters), and Lennart wanted it in the kernel/systemd, and Greg KH agreed, and Linus trusts Greg.

...but necessary as publishers deal with .doc, .docx, and .odt files almost exclusively, especially when it comes to fiction.
The two main reasons I know/care about (there may be more) are that it can be much faster (zero copy, reduced context switches) and also guarantee the message isn't changed while reading (by sealing the originating buffer).

The last is something you need kernel help to enforce.
This is irrelevant and an appeal to authority.
Yeah but is it possible to run very old binaries on a current kernel? Unlikely. What about binaries compiled on a newer system than your own? Even less likely.
