Given you drink diet sodas, you must care about your health, but drinking diet sodas is more unhealthy than coffee.

For one, you're clearly concerned about sugar intake (and you should be), but you see one problem with our sugar intake is that it makes our taste buds tolerant to sugar, so in time it dulls our senses for fruits or milk or other healthy foods with naturally occurring sugar. And the problem is that artificial sweeteners can make this problem even worse. This is like nicotine addicts switching from cigarettes to e-cigarettes. It might be slightly healthier, but doesn't do anything for your addiction.

If you're a diabetic, there have been studies suggesting that some artificial sweeteners can raise your blood sugar and can trigger an insulin response. If you're concerned about your weight I saw a study suggesting that artificial sweeteners can lead to weight gain. Of course, you know how nutrition studies are - most of them are flawed or questionable, but clearly it's a warning sign.

And sugar is not the only bad ingredient in sodas. Another problem is citric acid, linked to tooth decay. Phosphoric acid has been linked to osteoporosis and also tooth decay. Coca Cola has been using Aspartame in their diet products, which has been found to cause cancer.
The list goes on.

I'm in the same boat as you, I simply want something to drink. Personally I drink plain water (which tastes really good after you cut your sugar intake), coffee with milk in the morning and tea during the day, all without sugar. And I eat fruits for my sugar intake. Grapes taste great this time of year.

Or when I have a craving for Coca Cola, which happens from time to time, I simply drink the one with sugar in it, because it tastes better. If my health is going to suffer, at least it has to be worth it.

It would at least save the process-start overhead, plus loading the ruby vm and modules/gems.
The worst part is the reaction from Lenovo in my opinion. They just locked the thread reporting the issue on their forum, not saying anything about the problem itself but instead threatened the community to turn the pre-approval option on. This really makes me angry and makes me want to boycott their products.
I really hope this issue will spread so that Lenovo learn that they made a bad move on this one.

It also made me realize how important it is to have a community on which one can rely to spread problems like this one. Several people on their own can't do much against big companies, but a big tech commnity can.
Nice, really appreciate the progress here! However, is there any reason the artifacts aren't on github? It may be more convenient when it comes to issues/changelogs etc.
An impartial [1] jury wouldn't immediately accept the word of the law as correct.

In US courts, the letter of the law itself is one of the disputants. It is just as vulnerable to questioning as the prosecutor's case and the defendant's case. That's why court rulings actually do affect the law itself (judicial precedence), they don't only affect a particular case. Again, this is all by design.

Regardless, your response is totally irrelevant. I didn't ask about the morality of anything. Your statement that a jury is obligated to find in any direction is totally false. There is no such obligation in the US, nor will there ever be.

I will just assert that at Googe scale (some 20000-30000 engineers from a quick search), "good fit" isn't really a thing. Now, it doesn't mean they might not be hiring a certain mono-culture type of programmers, but that might not be a "fit" issue (Disclaimer: I do think "good fit" is vaguely defined)

And I'd love to see a counter assertion/argument.
Homebrew is quite an achievement, it grew in complexity over the years, yet remained reliable and kept a user-friendly interface.

It's also very simple to create packages, it took me less 30 min to learn how to create a package and to deploy it. In comparison last time I checked, creating deb packages is absurdly complex, and I usually just give up and provide a Bash file instead.
The Outer Space Treaty was written with the party states knowing that it was a medium term measure. Capitalism will come to The Moon, Mars, and Venus. It will start with people just building wherever there is available land, like we did on the frontier, then once a couple thousand or a couple hundred thousand people are in outer space a new treaty will be formed around the political realities of the day.

I love the idea BUT…

If we can't terraform Earth's deserts, do we really stand a chance with Mars?

I might be mistaken in my analysis. Still, the only way a colony might survive seems to be by sending tremendous amounts of resources to Mars yearly. They can never hope to be self-sustaining until either astronomically large amounts of time or astronomically large amounts of energy are spent.

As per my opinion on this, I'd rather see people not have knee-jerk reactions to Lenovo screwing up Linux support and people rushing for "alternatives", but rather make a concerted effort to support companies focused on Linux-supported hardware (for the long-term).

Also, this story combined with the HP printer story really makes you wonder why hardware manufacturers are going backwards towards locked-systems when their software divisions "embrace the world of open source". Hardware really is the final frontier for open-source.
Well, it is somewhere around 1.5% to 2% and seems to currently be growing. That's not a whole lot, but still worth targeting.

As another anecdote, I have purchased six X1 Carbons for staff in the past year or so and they have been great. The staff all travel a lot and they appreciate how light weight it is. The only machine-specific support I have had to provide so far was the SMM BIOS vuln. updates.

Despite that, I am making new purchases with Dell mostly because of price and service. Check out the Latitude E7470 in comparison to the X1.

I use my second slot for JPG, reasoning that I can get good enough results out of a JPG if I desperately need it - and the cheaper, slower, bigger card I put in the backup slot will hold a couple of days' shooting as JPG and not slow the camera down.
agreed, they will be soon. At the moment the core is cross-compiled from the Java-Client using j2obc, hence the underlying repo is the java one. We are in the process of evaluating how well this worked.

This is an excellent question, and an unanswered one. I want to add that functional areas of the brain are not 100% consistent and in fact vary not only by handedness but also by enough that a neurosurgeon cannot confidently operate on a specific location of the brain without first verifying what functionality it exhibits.

That said, the remarkable consistency of the location of, say, Broca's area, has always baffled me. Human DNA encodes signals that trigger the development of the neural tube and later the nervous system; that much is understandable - but how could it be possibly also encoding enough information to consistently result in similar functionality in similar areas?

As someone that has done an undergraduate fellowship in mathematical modeling of plasticity in large neural networks (and thus knows just enough to be confident about being wrong without realizing it), my personal mental model for this is that a functional area arises in an essentially deterministic manner based on its inputs - the auditory nerves, optic nerves, sensory input, and so on; the initial neural network must have no predetermined function and instead must have its functionality arise as a consequence of recurrent associations between input, output, and subsequent input, and so on.

That is, if a certain area receives visual input, it will adapt to discriminate details in visual sensory information, and similarly with auditory input, and so on - and eventually the only place that, say, Broca's area for language _could_arise is at the intersection of a particular set of sensory inputs.

As I said, this is essentially layman speculation. Furthermore, I try to imagine the computational complexity of demonstrating such determinism using a model, and it is staggering. There are on the order of 10^11 neurons, each of which is not only a very complex biochemical unit on its own but also can be modulated by or modulate up to something like 100,000 other neurons - let alone simulating the input to such a model.

It truly is staggering. We know so little, and it isn't even clear where to look to find out what we don't know we don't know.
If I'm building a small in-house intranet with no design resource and a plugin provides a good solution, then why am I using it "wrong"? Isn't that the kind of thing Bootstrap is perfect for? I'm certainly not going to spend much time optimising it.

Sleep isn't a nootropic. This happens quite a lot with noobs. They conflate nootropics with sleep/food/water/exercise. It wouldn't be that bad, but it derails the actual subject: I.e. nootropics.

Here's a concise definition[0]:

"(of a drug) used to enhance memory or other cognitive functions"

There are other definitions. All the ones I've seen have exogenous substances as a common denominator, however.

Interesting! I thought about having better light control, now I really think it's a good thing to do. I'll Google ambient lights and see what they are and what it means.
A study assessing 6 months (n=112) and 12 months (n=96) of melatonin treatment of 2mg in a controlled release capsule, taken 1-2 hours prior to sleep, people aged 20-80 with primary insomnia failed to show any tolerance to the treatment. The authors noted a slight sensitization to the effects of melatonin at the 3-4 month period, which was attributed to better entrainment of the circadian rhythm. These results have been replicated in another study, lasting 6 months, with a sample of 791 people. No melatonin tolerance due to usage was observed. Another study, lasting 6 months with a sample size of 421 people also replicated these results.

I agree on open-offices being distractive - had worked on a work-shelf kind of environment where we could easily elbowed adjacent person without moving an inch from chair. And the division was 'research' oriented! This was because it was a prime location. No wonder most wanted to work from home or do most of their design kind of work in conference rooms. Main reasons I see open office environment is - they want to save up on real-estate. So most of times its hidden and given fancy names.
I imagine that heating + constant stirring would yield better effects, but I don't think even that would be enough. Actually, if that strategy works, I'm willing to bet it would work with normal tap water too.
Ah, thanks for clarifying. Guess it was my impulse reaction as a long-time Lenovo + Linux user / dev. Should've asked before jumping the gun too soon. Sorry, Yaggo.
I had similar issues with the screen on a HP ProBook I bought last year. The matte screen was way dimmer than my Dell M6500's. When I sent the laptop in for warranty service on the screen (unrelated), the replacement screen was even dimmer.

Next time I can afford an arbitrary laptop, it will me another Dell Mobile Workstation like the M6500.

Yea, those SV salaries are what a lot of CEOs make over here in Southern Europe. Of course, this might say more about Southern Europe, but for most of the world, when we see 200K a year paychecks, its hard to imagine that its for an engineer (especially for a programmer or sysadmin).
"Falling" is an interesting description, considering all 3 corporations you listed doubled or almost tripled their market cap within the last 5 years.

If anything they're falling upwards.
Is it meant as contra Linux though? Or just pro RAID?
He left.
> I'm really not sure I want companies to have the capability to re-format entire planets.

Does that mean you're against terraforming entirely, or would you prefer for the US/Russian/Chinese government to be the only powers allowed to do so?
RAID mode? WTF? Why would they be using RAID mode on a machine with a single SSD, and according to the other posts here, deliberately make it nearly impossible to change?

Maybe because good-old-IDE or even AHCI was too simple and open.
Thanks for the link. Seeing such companies makes me confident that there will be always alternatives whatever the limitations put by so-said-brand manufacturers are.
> It also made me realize how important it is to have a community on which one can rely to spread problems like this one. Several people on their own can't do much against big companies, but a big tech commnity can.

I never think that a support forum should be owned by the company.

There is a clear conflict of interest. The company does not want you calling them out on product flaws or their behaviour, on a site that they own and that reflects on their brand and products.

It's a shame that fora frequently are not financially viable, as they do need to exist to provide a centralised place for consumers to gather, share problems, diagnose and solve them.

Companies shouldn't run their support forums. Instead, companies should offer a better level of support by default.
It is really no different than it has always been. If a colony on Mars wants independence, it can draft a military to enforce its independence and/or seek the diplomatic approval of other nations.
I've always marveled at how parents do it. Really, you are the true hero's in the world ;)
Right, but there isn't going to be an official announcement, unless a hundred thousand people jump to premature conclusions and bring out their pitchforks. I agree that it's not terribly smart to draw a conclusion at this point in time, but it's potentially more malicious, if we don't.
I always hear this, but then I look at all the people I know who are less technically able, who struggle daily with Apple's stupid ecosystem. Oh, I filled up the 16GB iPad with Photos, how do I make more space?

I am convinced that this whole post is a troll designed to get me to look at a glass vial of the author's toenails.
Yes open windows indeed! I do have a 'mosquito screen' (no clue how to call it in English).
It was just a general feeling because Bootstrap is intended for scaffolding and getting started fast. Not sure what plugins do you use, but for example Semantic UI has lots of UI already built in that you might find in third party plugins for BS.

> I'm certainly not going to spend much time optimising it.
if it's a quick hackish tool for your team then it's certainly fine

Every use case is a bit unique. I've built apps with bootstrap, but I gradually removed it later because I simply rewrote everything I used from it.

That's really interesting. I love homebrew – it does exactly what it says on the tin and I've been using it for years at this point without any reason for complaint. User experience is certainly a part of that, it's very seldom I've found myself in a position where I have to resort to searching for support, since brew usually lets you know right in the terminal what went wrong, and how to fix it. It'll be interesting to see if this great user experience translates to the swift pkg manager.

I remember watching an American civil war documentary that linked the dire state of the southern economy to slavery.

Whilst it is true that robots != slaves, at least from an ethical standpoint, the fact that an increasing portion of our economic production is done by unpaid (nonhuman) labour might land us in similarly dismal economic straits.

For the record, I don't think the answer is to pay the robots a salary!
:-)

More seriously, I'm also equivocal about the benefits of universal income. A job is about more than money, it's also about identity and self-actualisation. Perhaps a mixture of universal income and indirect public subsidies for academic, heritage-craft, public service and other charitable / vocational work might be the answer?
Silly headline.

In reality they're using a weird raid mode, no ones written a linux driver for yet.
"They can never hope to be self-sustaining until either astronomically large amounts of time or astronomically large amounts of energy are spent."

That might be true, but if we could divert even a small part of the global arms industry to something as constructive as colonizing a new world then I suspect we might help things here as well as achieving something wonderful.

Edit: "Oh yes. Fuck yes. All my yesses"

Can I second this. I remember reading Zubrin's "The Case for Mars" and getting quite enthusiastic about actually being a Martian colonist :-)

RAID on a machine with a single SSD (and no provision to add another)? It'd make far more sense if the BIOS was setup so the RAID option was always disabled.

Edit: it'd be rather amusing and saddening if this whole controversy was caused merely by someone misunderstanding/misreading a perfectly sensible requirement to disable the RAID mode, and instead disabled the other options. Given the level of communication fluency among some programmers, I would not be surprised if this were the case; and the fact that the machine still boots into Windows because it has drivers might've let this slip past QA...
Any country bound by that treaty can withdraw from the treaty with a notice of one year, considerably shorter time frame than necessary for terraforming Mars, I suppose. If the US won't withdraw, then other countries would. And there are already nations that haven't signed it.

Also, Spacex is not a party to the treaty. The treaty binds the countries, not their citizens or companies. I don't know if there are internal US laws banning sale of land.

Finally, the ban in many state laws on selling cars directly to consumers didn't hold back Tesla. I doubt a treaty from 1967 would hold back SpaceX
