What do environmental NGO:s have to do with anything? If they do any serious atmospheric science research then I'm not aware of it. Goading naive teenagers to chain themselves to forestry machines is more in their line of expertise.
yeah, the tools have some way to go, I did have issues with virtualenvs like you mentioned but given how fast the docker ecosystem has developed, I expect them to make it there soon enough.
> Considering that the linux kernel is strongly tied to the specific C dialect supported by GCC and is not portable at all, this argument is bullshit.

Linux has been ported to over two dozen architectures so it is extremely portable. Yes, it is tied to some GCC behaviors, but many operating systems are tied to compilers. Some extensions make the code identical across different archs, like __builtin_return_address.

Windows is tied to particular C features, which is why MSVC is resistant to C99. Plan9 was a special dialect and compiler of C.

Yeah, I'm not suggesting that every scrap of paper needs to get released if it isn't practicable, but secret, billion-dollar plus programs should simply not exist, ever; this includes (in my opinion) NSA surveillance, the Manhattan Project, et al.
Especially since a lack of evidence can't be taken as a proof of anything. It's not like they discovered irrefutable proof that supersymmetry was nonsense.

> Giving folks a decent baseline might end crimes of poverty and necessity, but would have little effect on the rest of the causes.

Exactly what I was implying.

> I can't put speeding in the same category as crimes of poverty, so I won't mention it further.

I didn't put it in the same category. I used both as examples.

For me speeding is way worse then petty theft (out of necessity). And that said by someone who had a break in while sleeping and had to deal with the fear and anxiety for long after that.

Being radically honest now:
For me speeding more then 10km/h above speed limit should be punishable with the equivalent of one years worth of income before taxes. At least. Make it hurt financially and make it hurt very much.

And if an accident happens, with the person speeding should be automatically jailed. For at least 3 years to life (depending on the amount of speeding and the severity of the accident).

For me, if they speed and endanger their fellow citizens they loose every right to be treated as a normal human being. In my mind they are then entering the category of solipsistic arles and should be treated as such.
"Less people" is not a solution. "Very slowly reducing the world population" could be one. But it could never be implemented. Reading Thomas Piketty's book is really good to apprehend this population growth vs economic sustainability subject.
You can usually tell when people suck by the end of 30 days, through simple conversation, and not formal rituals. Certainly by 90 days. Unless, of course, you're the one that sucks.

When you find good people, certainly don't bog them down with the albatross of making them do the things that terrible people waste time on.

If you know terrible people are wasting time (and you will) and you know it's not fun to watch, why make a public display of it?

Management can suck as much as subordinates. Terrible people cut across all levels of employment. They are a fact of life. Rituals don't improve anything.

Know what you want. Your estimates will be destroyed if you don't. If you have to estimate, then you don't know what you're getting into. You are experimenting. Nothing will be precise.

Don't burden me with your stupid, pointless rituals, if you're going on adventures into uncharted territory. You're wasting time with rituals.

If you care about time, don't estimate. If you have to estimate, then stop caring about time.

> What is likely happening is that your switch is configured by default to implement both rx and tx pause.

Yep, this is much more likely than that it's accidentally forwarding the pause frames. The magic phrase to google here is "head of line blocking": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_flow_control#Issues

For that reason you should basically never enable ethernet flow control except for on a Fibre Channel over Ethernet SAN, and even then they had to invent Priority-based Flow Control to make it sane. If this is a managed switch then you should be able to disable it.

(I used to also work at an ethernet switch vendor.)
Everyone else is using credit cards, whether I choose to or not. I'm paying that price increase either way. I might as well get some benefit. It seems idealistic in an "I'm voting 3rd party" sort of way to think that by being stubborn I will change the whole system. However, if a movement began to gain traction towards cash-only purchasing, I might join it. I'm not under illusions about my own influence on the world - I have none.

This is what i was thinking ~15 years ago, but now it is painful for me to remember that i could seriously support such an idea.

Environmental friendly matters only because it is human friendly. Removing all the humans is not environmental friendly since climate change and extinctions happen a lot without humans too. Reducing number of people to half the current population is not environmental friendly since we were cutting down huge forests and driving species to extinction even before the industrial age.

The most environmental friendly thing you can do is have more than 2 children, and make sure they are well educated.
There are still lots of deserts on earth that they can make into forests, we just need the science and manpower for that.

Warmer arctic region is not a problem, it gives more livable space. Higher sea level is not a problem, it gives more water to create lakes and fill aquifers in places like Sahara, Iran, and central Asia. 50 bln people on earth is not a problem, it gives more creativity and more workforce to go to Mars.
I don't like the word "punished" in this climate context.
That's not entirely true. Photographers have long had very broad rights about shooting in public [0]. If you're in a high-traffic area, it's fairly likely you could end up in someone's photo. You might be lost in the sea of people, but you'll probably also be lost in the sea of mass data collection.

My point is not that "if you have nothing to hide then you have nothing to fear". There is perhaps a corollary, "just who do you think you are that anyone would be interested in your life?" But even that is beside the point. The point is that you've never actually had this extremely broad version of a right to privacy that you think you had.

You're right about that. Molten salt storage will even bring it down below the price of natural gas turbines used now.

However, even with all the projected improvements and price declines in recent years, solar still will not be enough to serve global energy needs in time to stave off disaster.
I'm curious about the approximate price range. I'm imagining it's by part, but what would you say a basic cabin for 2 runs vs the winter quarters for 6 before shipping of course.

True, but the OWIN stuff I've been using was (https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Owin.Host.HttpListe...)
epoll doesn't change the fact that all of the well-supported I/O primitives under Linux are synchronous. Not necessarily blocking, but synchronous. There are aio_* system calls in the kernel but they suck. There are only a few, and the kernel devs seem to think that doing sync I/O in a different process/thread is good enough so they may not even last forever in the kernel.

Linux does not support I/O completion ports, or even a completion-based model for I/O at all. (Instead it uses the readiness model, requiring you to waste cpu cycles in a polling loop checking if an fd is "ready", that is if you don't want to spin off a new process.) In Linux you can't check an I/O buffer for data and schedule the call that would fill the buffer if it's empty in one system call, the way you can in Windows.

Windows was modelled after VMS, which was designed for reliability and throughput. Linux was modelled after Unix, which was designed so that Ken Thompson could play games on a scrapped PDP-7.

It already caught on in EU, just not in USA yet. We just need to get it built for Americans to see it is not a bad thing and who "cares" about seeing it in your vision (ref to Cape Wind).

Also, land windmills is already taking off slowly as mentioned in the article:

> If that sounds ambitious, consider that the country has installed some 50,000 wind turbines on land over the past two decades. They now supply roughly 5 percent of the nation’s electric power, a figure that reaches double digits in particularly windy states like Kansas and Iowa.

> The technology has been proved in Europe, where offshore wind farms as large as 300 turbines are being developed, with each turbine costing up to $30 million to build, install and connect to the power grid.
Because it's faster and cheaper to invest in renewable energy. Building a nuclear power plant requires a massive amount of money and time.

The 6502 had no concept of not doing a memory operation.

Either it's doing a read or it's doing a write, there is no option to use the bus unused. So the 6502 spams dummy reads and occasionally dummy writes whenever it's doing something internally.

Edit: And that's not the only interesting thing I've learned recently about the 6502, There is a very good reason why the stack is on page 1 and not some other constant page. There are only 3 constant values which can be pushed on the SB/ADH buses, 0xff, 0x00 and 0x01.

Ox00 is loaded into upper address register for zero page instructions. For Push operations, it loads 0x01 into the upper address register and puts the stack pointer + 0xff into the adder, which subtracts one from the stack pointer. (The 0xff is just the default bus value, if nothing else is pulling it low, so you get it for free)

For Pop operations, it pushes the same 0x01 into both the upper address register and the adder, at the same time.

So if they wanted to put the stack page at another constant page, or at a variable page they would also need to provide more gates to provide another constant one somewhere.

Can you quantify "significantly"?

That's one of those words people throw around to make a point without making a real point. Are we talking 20%, 100%, 300%. And whatever the number, is it sufficient? Also, what's the timeline? A decade?
It's not just that they're "non-software" business. They're not really even technology businesses, in the traditional Silicon Valley (HP, Intel, Apple, Atari, Synopsys, Netscape, Google, Facebook, Snapchat) sense. Both DSC and Casper are innovative companies, but (as far as I can tell) they don't innovate in technology, they instead use technology to leverage innovation in other areas.

Casper could have been founded 30 years ago. But would NEA and Norwest have invested in 1986 in a version of Casper that used late-night TV ads and a 1-800 number? My guess is probably not. So what does it mean that they do now? Does this mean that the current fashion in VC is shifting away from technology innovation? If so, does this mean that pure technology ventures may soon find it hard to find funding?
It looks like the actual increase was minimal and within the margin of error:

NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced this week that according to their calculations, July 2015 was the hottest month since instrumental records began in 1880. NOAA says that the record was set by eight one-hundredths of a degree Celsius over that set in July 1998. NASA calculates that July 2015 beat what they assert was the previous warmest month (July 2011) by two one-hundredths of a degree.
But government spokespeople rarely mention the inconvenient fact that these records are being set by less than the uncertainty in the statistics. NOAA claims an uncertainty of 14 one-hundredths of a degree in its temperature averages, or near twice the amount by which they say the record was set. NASA says that their data is typically accurate to one tenth of a degree, five times the amount by which their new record was set.

That's not supposed to happen, and the process says that in that case you have to at the very least re-estimate. If a ticket is really taking forever, at some point the estimate for the time to finish it will be more than a sprint, at which point you're obliged to split it up.

Take a macro view and guess what's going to be "big" at about the same time as you are applying for your second or third job. Your first job will get you in the door -- but your second or third job will be as you are transitioning from junior to mid-level roles, and you want to be in a good strategic position to move to a growth area at that stage, which will open the door to a management position and a career beyond the "shop floor" -- if that's the direction you want to take.

You don't stay sharp across the entire discipline, that's the trade off. Inherently a generalist will always be behind a specialist. As someone in a similar spot. I've found that two practices keep me effective.

1. Stay on the '80' side of the 80/20 rule. Find breakpoints where you are getting diminishing returns. Stop yourself when you are getting into specialist territory, by asking 'how often am I going to need this?'

2. Have a network of specialists who you can call when you need abilities in that last 20%. This is the hardest part because you will have made a lot of progress and want to just keep going on your own. It's important to take a step back and think "I could call <specialist> and they would knock this down in a day".

As a generalist think of yourself as consumer rather than a producer.
The yurt is a great and timeless design, but it's not really designed for the same longevity or environments as an Igloo.

The situation of having a project fully shut down without adequate information or process by which to correct it is clearly unacceptable. That said, I was involved in recently migrating to GCP and it has worked wonderfully for us thus far. We run a fairly standard java/MySQL web app, with paid silver support. Questions are answered promptly in our experience. We found compute engine VMs to be faster (and cheaper) than EC2, the developer console easier to use, and better quality documentation/APIs.
That's just wrong, far as I know. We can tell when DNA was introduced - but I don't know how that works. Anybody?
And within 20 years, how many of those reactors will actually be built? Especially within the Persian Gulf, where nuclear weapons proliferation is a big issue. How many decades did Iran spend under sanctions while building a reactor?

The solution can't be first-world-only, and local solar is a much better bet in equatorial but poor and politically unstable parts of the world.
Faster, cheaper, and much less effective. Renewable is very much worthwhile, but I'd argue it is at its best as part of a strategy which addresses irreducible baseload demand by means of modern nuclear.
1) It is naive, at best, to believe that the wholesale destruction of privacy for individuals will also mean the wholesale destruction of privacy for elites. This simply won't happen.

2) Privacy is not a binary state. The crux of your argument is that since I do not have privacy from the NSA, then I should not have privacy from any individuals. I don't mind if you want to give up yours, but I like mine. Please do not subject me to your tyranny.

3) Your Constitutional hand-wringing ignores a lot of reality, including (but not limited to) the fact that Constitutional law isn't as simple as you think it is, and that if your best argument is that people who never conceived of mass photography and image recognition didn't take a stand against it, well... that's silly.

4) Your conclusions are precisely backwards. If we start making the locations of all cars perfectly public, of all people public etc, we won't have more freedom. We'll have an inescapable tyranny.

This is not an easy problem to solve. But your proposed solution is only fine for people whose actions are neatly aligned with current and future cultural norms as well as the preferences of current and future elites. Cheap widespread surveillance (which will happen otherwise) will be absolutely devastating to enemies of the state, it will be horrible for "unusual" people generally, and it will be FANTASTIC for elites.
Can it stream data from jobs? For example, to monitor progress?
I agree with the sentiment, but not the assumption that "we" can do anything about a celestial phenomenon.

Humans cannot change the oscillating output of a certain nearby star. That is the source of the minuscule changes to the Earth's temperature underway, not human behavior. Contrary to the hysterics of so-called climate scientists (who have been shown, time and time again, to have cherry-picked their data or invented it entirely; aka "data fraud") there is no evidence humans are changing the temperature of the planet.

That being said, China seems to have no regard whatsoever for gross pollution of the earth, skies, and seas. A separate issue but worth addressing.

[edit: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=climate+change+data+fraud

NASA has fiddled with the data:
`From the publicly available data, Ewert made an unbelievable discovery: Between the years 2010 and 2012 the data measured since 1881 were altered so that they showed a significant warming, especially after 1950. […] A comparison of the data from 2010 with the data of 2012 shows that NASA-GISS had altered its own datasets so that especially after WWII a clear warming appears – although it never existed.”`

If you're not willing to trust data, that makes you religious, not scientific.
