Please look at the code. bus1 is no more high-level than UDS.

You 'gather' a lot about how this works, please look at the code/docs before writing things. 'kdbus' was Lennart's baby? Look at who wrote the code, who submitted it upstream, etc.

bus1 needs init's cooperation in the same way UDS does. It is simply a nonsensical statement, bus1 is simply a transport, what apps do on top is a different topic.

When I said that bus1 should be reasonably portable, I meant exactly that: the code of bus1 itself should be easy to port to other OSs. Whether apps that use bus1 are easy to port to systems without bus1 depends on how what they do and what is available on the other systems in question...
JFS, XFS, ReiserFS, ext3/4, and btrfs all support extended attributes – that's become a bigger deal for things like ACLs – but along with varying size limits the share the same limitations as NTFS, HFS+, etc. of not indexing those values.

That means there's no way to do a query like "file type = audio/mp3" without either walking the filesystem or querying a separate index, which removes a lot of the benefits.
Remember that a few of those RTOS's, although OS itself is C, have runtimes for Ada and Java that apparently sold well enough they continue to be updated. Only RTOS I know still done in Ada is MaRTE OS:

http://marte.unican.es/

Well, Muen is done in SPARK but it's a separation kernel rather than full OS:

https://muen.sk/#_features

That it was integrated into GenodeOS framework shows one could build a system around it but it's not quite one itself. There's also the JavaCard OS's for low-level stuff and even Java CPU's on market.
memory sealing can be used by anything that can do fd passing, which bus1 does (as does UDS). That code is already upstream and was not really tied to kdbus.
The advantage of the current approach is that you can just define the traits you need in your crate, and the standard library does not have to stabilize unrefined interfaces.
I appreciate the offer, but I'd much rather just be able to see at least Chapter 2 or something like that. If it seems like the learning style is my cup of tea, I'd definitely buy it, and even at full price. I just need to be sure the way lessons are presented align with my learning style as I'm a bit picky there. Unfortunately there isn't much taught in Chapter 1.

> Taking control away from US does not give it to anyone else, instead it put into this machinery that is specifically designed to avoid requiring trust.

At the end of the day, someone(s) will be in a position to "pull the plug" or just alter the machine in some way. I think your view is a bit naive. The machines have to be physically located somewhere and they're going to be open to vulnerabilities because someone needs to perform routine maintenance. There will also need to be a group or organization to oversee the day-to-day operations and handle things a machine can't. It's yet another avenue for corruption. Your ideal "control" simply doesn't exist and cannot exist. Someone has to be in control.

It reminds me a bit of the whole superpower conundrum. There are those who want the U.S to step down as the world's police. The question then becomes, who would replace them? This question confuses those people because they do not grasp the whole "nature abhors a vacuum" aspect of the problem. They also ignore the human element, which is that people are greedy, corrupt and power driven. Especially leaders of countries. These people want the U.S gone but won't connect the dots further to see what would happen, and what life would be like without them acting as the world's sole superpower. What would happen is another entity would step in and fill the role. That is guaranteed. It's a certainty because nations have been fighting wars for that mantle since before WW1. And I'm sorry, but I prefer the U.S to China or Russia. They're simply the lesser of the evils. And not by a small amount.

To deny it is to deny the fact that Russia and China would stand aside and not make an attempt to grab that power. Do you honestly believe China or Russia won't leap at the chance? Let's say you honestly do. Ok, so then the question becomes, "What about 25 years from now after Putin has died and there's a completely new administration at the helm. Can you say that they won't grab for power?" It doesn't require people not leaping to grab that power today, but for all time in the future. And believing that someone won't eventually grab for it is beyond naive because it's denying human nature.
Maybe, they should be able to handle some booing. Doesn't make it appropriate behaviour to force them to go through it, as hosts. It's an event whose entire premise is to rise above partisanship in the name of sportsmanship, we can expect a little more sportsmanship from the crowds too.

There's a body of anecdotal evidence for anything you can imagine, that's we don't value anecdotal evidence once we've looked for real evidence and not found it. Most people are greatly confused by the placebo effect, it is the source of all these anecdotal experiences.
Microsoft operates as though, and under the assumption that their software is needed. It's a faulty premise. The presumption is arrogance incarnate.

As a business I can fully, completely operate without any of the their software, profitably, peaceably, and with at least the same amount of friction or less. And more securely.

If you think otherwise, you are ignorant of the tools available for free and of some intelligently thought-out engineering.

Quality of a language is such a trite, over-used discussion that the results/goals of software are completely forgotten. This too is arrogant ignorance.

How many software engineers are there in the world? It's more than taxi-cab drivers. More than Dr.'s More than teachers. Cooks, farmers, and builders (not combined of course). This is evidence of software for software's sake. There is no quality. Just a moving shell-game of "you need this".

I love writing algorithms--that PowerShell and .NET are some kind of something that will solve people's problems any better than something else is simply marketing. I have a pet rock to sell you.

If it is radically different, you need some solid proof that it really works. Promises of huge jumps in efficiency are typically a whole lot of hot air. So, if you have something truly that powerful, it will inherently by difficult to sell people on the idea. You may need to downplay how awesome it is to get listened to at all.

Poem: Thoughts
having been working with various astronomical data for years now there are a lot of good sources out there. some of my favourites:

https://pds.nasa.gov/ - planetary data service has a lot of data collected from space missions if you are willing to poke around, use some funky tools and maybe even port awful non-standard C or fortran code from the 70s to read files :P

http://vizier.u-strasbg.fr/viz-bin/VizieR - a huge collection of catalogues of stars, galaxies and other things that can be searched and browsed.

http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/?horizons - a great source of planetary, cometary and other ephemerides, with e-mail and telnet interfaces that are surprisingly convenient.

http://pds-geosciences.wustl.edu/missions/venera/ - a small selection of data from the russian venera program - a bit of a special case - but i've not found much of this data available (online at least - offline is something else :P)

its a bit of a shame that the fortran friendly file format still seems to the the most popular way to store this kind of data... but its easy to parse thankfully :)
Was searching for Penrose being mentioned, going to post myself otherwise (immediately struck me as well :)).
ArkyBeagle must have worked with some talented people. Most of the programmers, sloppy or rushed, made enough of specific errors they became the top 10. This included proprietary systems given Microsoft was in the lead on bug-count due to bugs in product and market share (i.e. targeting). Their choice was a combo of stronger review of unsafe code, introducing managed code to get rid of it everywhere possible, and huge investments in various, formal verifications. Their 0-day rate very low these days to point attackers hit 3rd party applications, usually also in C or C++. They said it cost many millions to do that bug-hunting, though.

Might be cheaper for next shop to just pick a language that's easier to do correctly. Someone giving that hard look as you stated saying, "Bro, have you even heard of Ada, Go, or Rust? And you still want to suffer through making a robust app in C? Why!?"
The build scripts for PowerShell right now require an existing powershell binary to work. If I can untangle this and work out what's required to build from scratch, then that'll probably help you build a proper Fedora RPM.

(I'm looking into it for Debian, but the work will help other distros, too).
The radius of 50 was too large. Reason being: I'm used to working with much higher resolution scans, and without high contrast shadows across them. A blur radius of around 15 does a good job of eliminating the shadow edge in this image after the divide. What we're basically doing is a high pass filter. The radius of 50 is too low a frequency; it lets through the shadow edge noticeably.

By the way, here is a useful trick: blurred layer in Divide mode, plus vary the opacity. You can reduce the amount of contrast between light and dark areas in an image without completely leveling it. Works well with low opacity levels (just a slight blend of the Divide mode layer). If you have a picture with areas that are too dark and too bright, a touch of this can help. High radii tend to work well, with blends of up to 20% or so.

For me, this does what I want Retinex to do! Only better, with intuitive control parameters and predictable results.

As someone who has routinely used MapBox for various projects. I completely agree, it's one of those amazing gems no one really acknowledges.

Inflation pressure isn't the same as running pressure!

Once a vehicle is loaded the air pressure of the tires can go up substantially relative to what they're inflated to. Like you said, action and reaction.

That's why under-inflated tires will have a very large contact patch; increasing the contact patch increases the area in the area * pressure equation. But it also reduces the volume of air inside the tire/tube and that raises the pressure, also.
Well, except for the fact that you're attempting to lump the U.S in with countries like Germany who have what you describe. The U.S has "more free" speech. In Germany, you can't deny the holocaust. That isn't preventing harm, it's trying to stop a political statement. I'm no holocaust denier but I feel that if someone wants to parade their ignorance, they should be allowed. It makes idiots easier to identify.

Most other countries have similar limits on free speech. The U.S limits aren't of political origins, but actual physical safety. And I think that makes a world of difference.
i'd say its often too wooly to even call a single data point, but in other cases its obviously very many.

if 1000s of people are telling the same story, thats 1000s of potential data points... they lose value from being ill defined rather than being small in number.
And chances are the costs of these schools will inflate now that there's free money on the table, just like with regular universities.

The content of this medium.com article was posted to the tor-project mailing list, educing the following (summarised) responses:-

- the email address of the OP was flagged for moderation (tor-project is a moderated list, with whitelisting for trusted contributors)

- the person alleged to have been chosen to conduct the investigation at issue, Franklin Bynum, replied that he did not participate in the investigation

- Roger Dingledine noted that the OP's call to "other relay operators to conduct a coordinated 24 hour shutdown of the Tor network" would be "harmful to real Tor users, and isn't going to be useful". Roger concluded "The claim is false, let's all move on".

- Alison Macrina, the subject of the OP's allegation of bias in the investigation, wrote that she "spoke to the investigator about my experiences, but did not coordinate the investigation in any way" and that "Rumors of me conducting the investigation are greatly exaggerated"
shrug I don't have these issues at all. I just tried "food near me" and it worked perfectly fine. Like I said I might be the best case scenario since I speak in a basically standard american broadcast english accent.

Hehe, that was the only part of this article I didn't particularly love. This is how it works:
A handle ID is a 64bit integer. If lowest bit (BUS1_NODE_FLAG_MANAGED) is set it is a handle ID allocated by the kernel (the only mode currently supported). If the second lowest bit (BUS1_NODE_FLAG_ALLOCATE) is set a new handle should be allocated by the kernel, otherwise the handle ID must refer to an existing handle.

Especially disappointing coming from Carmack who used to be a champion of openness. How has he changed...
History of MapBox.

1. Development Seed created a heat map of crime in DC[1] and wanted dark tiles. So 3 of the founders, Alex Barth, Jeff Miccolis, and Tom MacWright created the Nice Map module[2] as a tile (WMS) management client for Drupal.

2. Development Seed uses Mapnik to manage their WMS server [3]

3. Development Seed started to share tile sets for maps hosted on AWS on Mapbox.com.[4]

4. The MapBox product is created and effort is put into it.[5]

5. They created Maps on a Stick and iOS client apps [6]

6. TileMill is released so people can create their own map tiles[7]

7. Development jumps from Drupal and the LAMP stack to Node.js and MabBox.[8]

> England? Canada? Switzerland? Brazil? S. Africa?

You feel those countries are strong enough, politically and even militarily to resist corruptive influences? England might be, maybe Canada since the U.S is next door, but Switzerland, Brazil and S. Africa? No way. People forget; the U.S is incredibly powerful. It has the strongest military in the world. Nobody has attempted to "mess with the internet" because it meant messing with the U.S. Take it away from the U.S and it immediately becomes more vulnerable by default.
I can't explain that since I'm not on the Go team. However, it's possible that they also didn't realize this hack was being relied on by people. The fact that you describe it as a hack implies it was never intentionally supported behaviour. Did you bring it up during the development of 1.5?
I'd recommend checking out this post[1] by Wil Shipley (a longtime Cocoa dev), which includes a story about how Carmack doesn't re-use code. The whole blog post is a fun read.

Show HN: Make YAML Snapshots of Your “My Personal Kanban” Boards
I wanted to like something about this, if for no other reason than the title (which is excellent). The writing is good but I think the author gives too much credit to Gins and couches the whole thing to sound like "maybe she knew something that we don't" and leaves any substantive criticism to the reader.

As someone wholly unfamiliar with avant-garde architecture each of the pictured examples looks garish or camp in the extreme, like a 1960's television set. This can be put down to my inexpert eye but for the fact that the architect offers the following:

What about consciousness at the cellular level, or at the level of the entire
population? Might those types of awareness affect a person’s ability to live
forever? The need to target different “scales of action,” as Gins called
them, was reinforced in her dreams.

And the author supplies:

I didn’t understand how Gins could have thought that following these
instructions might lead to immortality. But I also couldn’t believe, based on
all I knew of her, that she was anything less than serious about the intent
of her work.

To be blunt, the whole article read like a weakly supportive retrospective on some kind of metaphysical woo-woo. The author is clearly talented, but the subject matter was way outside of my wheelhouse and left me annoyed.
> Regarding your last point .. I thought the point of ray tracing is that you get a lot more realistic images than with OpenGL

With basic (i.e. Whitted) ray tracing, you get shadows, reflection, and refraction. You can do that in OpenGL too, but it's more work and you have to do go through some unnatural contortions and/or use approximations that might look convincing but aren't physically accurate.

Soft shadows, focal blur, and motion blur can be supported by tracing more rays per pixel.

The big leap in realism (the kind where you would say ray tracing is definitely better than what you would see in a modern game) comes when you add global illumination, which is computationally a lot harder than basic ray tracing because it requires a large number of rays per pixel. It works by random sampling, so you can generate a blurry, grainy image fairly quickly, but noise-free images take a lot longer.
Calibre recipes can do this. You still need to specify the start page, xpath to get the chapters etc., but it works.

...Which is why I said it was ugly. The grep probably won't break, the cut is more likely to. This is in part because the 'ip' command isn't very well designed. A better solution I found is

ip addr show wlan0 | grep -Po 'inet \K[\d.]+'

Which is less likely to break. If your system supports it,

hostname -I

Works great. However, this seems to be an ubuntuism, and it doesn't work on my system.
No, what this code does is much more sophisticated - Dropbox do not dewarp (i.e. remove non-linear distortions) they only transform the image to make the document rectilinear (leaving the distortions/deformations intact), which is much simpler.
