But more fundamentally than the desktop / server focus, they either don't understand or don't value what makes UNIX great.

systemd is in many respects a major departure from UNIX philosophy, and I predict it will mark an inflection point in the quality and usability of Linux distros that adopt it, hence my efforts to migrate my own systems to FreeBSD.

For those wondering what I'm banging on about, please read The Art of UNIX Programming, which should have been called The Philosophy of UNIX:

http://www.catb.org/esr/writings/taoup/html/.

Edit: what I mean by fundamental is that it shouldn't matter whether the tools are intended for desktop or server use; they should be designed to interoperate seamlessly using text protocols via pipes, sockets and files. That way they can be composed, filtered and transformed in ways not yet dreamed of by their creators. The systemd folks are falling into the Microsoft and Apple trap by trying to anticipate how their software will be used, instead of building it so it can easily be hacked upon for uses they themselves haven't dreamed of (which oddly seems to include 'servers').

To put it bluntly: systemd has neither the hacker nature nor the UNIX nature, and history has been unkind to OSs with neither. I'm betting against it being a Good Thing in the long run.
Second-hand story from 20 years ago man... who cares?
Well of course per passenger-mile shipping is less efficient than air travel, because shipping is primarily transportation for goods, not for people. A big container ship has what, 20 people? Nonetheless, you're right that shipping should receive more attention. I think that it's less visible, less profitable, and more economically critical than air travel, which is often seen as a luxury. This would make taxing it more of a tax on economic activity.

Air travel produces a factor of ~100 more C02 per unit mass transported than maritime transport [1].

It seems that shipping is a little understudied, but apparently a leaked UN IPCC report (from 2008, so pre-crash, peak globalization) states that shipping produced 1.1 billion tonnes† [2] of CO2 annually. This number is ~4x higher than other studies so maybe it's more accurate, maybe it's not.

Air travel on the other hand produces 780 million tonnes of CO2 per year [3]. The major issue is that, as stated in TFA, it's supposed to triple in coming decades. I am not sure that global shipping is.

†I am quoting 'tonnes' in both which I think refers to metric tons, not imperial measurements, so I believe the units are comparable.

Shipping may be much easier to improve technologically than air travel, though. I'm sure many of the ships burn low-quality diesel. However, they're of the scale where very small nuclear reactors are available, and I have heard talk of ships being powered by natural gas. Ships can also deal with heavy batteries, so maybe in some instances offshore wind or solar farms could provide electricity? I have also heard of ships actually being powered directly by wind, but maybe this is a rumor, some far off Silicon Valley pipe dream.

I'm disappointed by the lack of empathy in these comments.

While I agree that yes, an obese person needs to lose weight, telling them that and offering no other help is like telling someone with depression "why don't you just cheer up?" It's totally unuseful advice that incorporate all sorts of gross value judgments about the person. It doesn't solve problems.

I've been overweight - not obese, but close at times - all my life. I'm now on a weight loss program and seeing significant success. It took years of mental and physical issues to get me to that point and it is a struggle every day. It's hard work. That's why people are proud of losing weight: it's an achievement. It represents a permanent change to lifestyle and behavior that takes weeks, months, even years to effect.

Please don't discount people's experiences by saying things like "oh, just lose weight." Consider the human being in there, and how to reach them. Don't assume that because it's easy for you to be fit and skinny, it's easy for everyone.
Have you put an RF chokes on the cables? Give that a try to add some inductance so you don't have to worry about the noise from the motors.

Also alfoil will go a long way for shielding.

> There are numerous stories of hypoallergenic people who find that their new washing machine leaves significant detergent in clothing.

In 99.9% percent of those cases, the problem is that they're used to the quantities of detergent the old non-HE washers take and refuse to reduce the amount, or (in the case of horizontal axis washers) are confused by the lack of suds in modern detergents and overload the machine with detergent. The latter is an especially common problem in laundromats serving low-income areas. Sometimes the machines were so caked with old detergent that I could run a load with plain water and it would come our perfectly clean.
I use to get headaches every day (the kind that seem to originate behind the bridge of the nose). One day in effort to reduce the ache (a desperation move I didn't know would work out not) I reduced the brightness level in my monitor to the lowest possible setting. It slightly helped me cope with the rest of the day at work, but I forgot to reset the monitor. The next day I didn't get a headache. Turning down the brightness to the lowest level is now something I do with every monitor I use. Coworkers always comment the first time the see my screen "how do you see anything on that?" But the truth is you adjust really fast and don't even notice it's so dark. Best of all, I don't get headaches anymore.

This may not have been CVS, but I felt it was related to looking at screens all day so I wanted to share.

I frequently hear coworkers complaining about headaches and recommend they decrease their screen brightness. They always provide their own reasoning for the headache cause that makes it unavoidable. I shrug because I can't make them try my suggestion. But it would be interesting to have someone else try and get some feedback if the solution works for others (identifying my problem as a work hazard rather than a personnel condition).
No, it's that some extreme outliers have insane BMRs. It's still a calories-in-calories-out situation, it's just their base calories out is so high without doing anything special it's like a superpower. I've only met a few, but it's a real thing! Most of us go through something similar (but to a lesser extent) in our teen years. A few seem to keep it forever.
There is something similar in IT operations/support. Many companies refuse to investigate an issue until you are on the latest versions of software and firmware.

There are good reasons for each of these checkpoints: there may be a real issue not caused by obesity/old firmware, but it is really hard to tell until you get past that.

Sounds awesome. I would personally use some of these if it was fairly easy to setup.

Here are some resources for you:

Difference between author and committer in Git? -- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11856983/why-git-authorda...

Why git AuthorDate is different from CommitDate? -- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11856983/why-git-authorda...

What does “authored 7 days ago; committed 14 hours ago” mean on GitHub? -- http://webapps.stackexchange.com/questions/70383/what-does-a...

I found all of that by googling "author vs committer git".

The gist is that, yes, there is a distinction. If your friend, say, gives you a diff and you apply it with `git apply`, you're the committer and your friend is the author.

EDIT:

Regarding your other questions ("Which one does blame use?"):

If you run

$ man git-blame

This is right at the top:

I wonder how many other plants Apple has in the media.
Your simple numbers are, frankly, meaningless and stupid. They assume that childcare is the only reason poor people are ever out of the labor force, for starters.

If you assume thatpoor people are more likely to have to resort to mutual aid outside the formal economy for that while non-poor people are more likely to be able to be either consumers or suppliers (or both) of childcare in the formal economy and that is the only factor affecting differences in labor force participation between the groups (which is, no doubt, an oversimplification), then you'd expect -- no matter what the mutual aid ratio is -- a lower labor force participation rate for the poor.

If you more generally assume that this is hardly unique, and that regulatory costs force those with less means out of the formal economy in other ways, you'd expect the labor force participation rate of the poor to be even further depressed.

> Can you name any piece of evidence or measurement which would cause you to believe the poor are not hardworking?

I'm not convinced that the character trait of "hard-workingness" has a good objectively-measurable proxy, but then since I'm not the one making a positive claim about it, its not my obligation to present and justify a valid measure of the trait.

> Or is your doubt more religious in nature?

False dichotomy much? Thinking you are making a positive fact claim about something for which no good objective evidence exists and which, while it might in principle be measurable, it is unlikely that objective evidence could exist in practice, isn't a "religious" objection -- if anything, its skepticism that you are making what is essentially a claim of a religious nature (that is, one that is held as true statement of material fact about the world without being either objectively justified nor even necessarily practically objectively justifiable.)
Why not have a competition to see who can produce an alternative? Similar to the competitions between ciphers.

Any language should be allowed. The problem is not necessarily the language.

Sometimes it is the programmer, or more often the programmers. What happens when there are too many cooks in the kitchen.
It's because Astoria/LIC has seen a large population density increase. Look at all of the new high rises along the East River and Astoria because its slightly cheaper because it doesn't have the cachet of Brooklyn.

It's also worth noting and evident on the map I linked to that when people talk about Brooklyn in many contexts(uber, hipsters, nightlife etc.) they are only ever talking about a small subset of Brooklyn which is strip generally nearer river that extends from Greenpoint to Redhook. They are almost never talking about the majority of Brooklyn - East New York, Dyker Heights, Canarsie , the Flatlands etc. Brooklyn as the city's largest borough is huge. Brooklyn is actually the 4th largest city in the U.S.
It's not uncommon for journalists to jump ship and work for the people they've covered. Numerous former newspaper colleagues of mine work as public information officers for the school districts and agencies they used to cover. This happens all the way up to the White House level. Questions of biased coverage in the months leading up to the switch are often justified and asked.

But I've never heard of this kind of double-dipping. Other than the brief extra paycheck, this is all massive downside, particularly in media becomes the grist for another news cycle. The fact that he's also just gone silent on Twitter makes me think there is some other problem here.
But how often do people tweet you money anyway?
Start-ups may still fall into this category, I guess my assumption was a lot of start-ups are commercializing hard technology and so the bottleneck is more do you have the right IP portfolio and legwork done to commercialize successfully and not get crushed.
I have never seen unnecessary reference counting be a problem in Rust. That's because not manipulating the reference count requires an explicit action—.clone()—and borrowing is so expressive that you rarely need to manipulate the counts.
Replace "salary" with "compensation package" and the same argument stands. Offer better salaries, work environments, perks, and vacation days and you'll get all the qualified candidates you could want.
I don't know much about Queens, but I mentioned Sunset Park because it's a working class, immigrant neighborhood. If LIC's demographics are similar to say, Brooklyn Heights, then I expect paranoid behavior from parents.
Ask HN: What would you do with a technology that passes the Turing Test?
What would you do if you created technology that passes the most popular interpretation of the Turing Test?

Imagine that you have a technology capable of having a "normal" conversation with you (via text/chat) that is indistinguishable from a regular human. Let's call it "Chatty". Chatty understands "common sense" in the way most humans do (i.e. that if you get hit by a bus the consequences are much more serious than if you are bitten by a regular mosquito), has some cultural background that lots of you can relate to (i.e. someone who lived in North America for 10 years, maybe has't seen Cheers but knows about the Simpsons and the Game of Thrones) and a very good command of English.

Chatty learns and remembers all of its previous interactions with you and is capable of convincingly faking emotional responses.

This is not AGI by any means, but it does push state of AI forward, far surpassing anything that has been done before in many subareas of the field.

How would you use this technology? Would you try to commercialize it and if yes then how? Would you open source it? Would you apply to YC with it? Would you try to sell it to any of the big players (Siri would become just awesome if it used Chatty) and if yes how much do you think it would be worth to them?
Each of these repairs consisted of: an hour or so of diagnosis/research + order the parts online + go on with your life until delivered + a few hours or so to do the repair.

I spent more time finding the cheapest (+shipping) online source of garage door opener parts than I spent on actually repairing it.
Offsets/credits are a fine idea, assuming they work. And forest preservation by Brazil would hopefully be domestic, and not chopping down the Amazon has additional non-carbon environmental bonuses.
Which is just what his true employer wants you to think.
Definitely works for me. I keep my monitors and phone at the lowest brightness in all but full sunlight, and pretty much don't get headaches anymore. (Well, now just on the days I miss my coffee...)
In Finland we call it "kissanhäntä" (cat's tail) or "miukumauku". "Miu" and "mau" are actually cat's meows, so "miukumauku" is kind of a "a meow, a meow" with two different words.

Nowadays it's usually called "ät-merkki" as in "at-sign" as "at" is spelled in Finnish.
Because I am not in Poland, I cannot access the material. Curious what it is.
How Long Will Programming Remain a Hot Career?
I've been doing this on and off for decades now, thanks to blepharitis and the associated gland dysfunction you mention. The fact that I stare at a screen all day certainly doesn't help and I've had to stop wearing contact lenses even though my prescription is quite strong and any sort of glasses screw up my peripheral vision.

The downside to the compress (other than the one you mentioned) is the simple fact that I can't always just nuke my little eye-pad thing and lean back for 10 minutes several times per day at work. Even when I'm able to do it a few times per day as my eye doctors have suggested, any relief is relatively short-lived and doesn't treat anything long-term.

It sucks because my eyes almost always feel irritated or dry and no manner of lubricating drops, antibiotic drops, or hot compresses have helped. I've tried a few less tested but ultimately harmless things like fish oil supplements (since they're cheap and effects seem to range from unnoticeable to possible systemic benefits in the long term).

My takeaway has been that there's really no "cure" for blepharitis or chronic inflammation and meibomian gland dysfunction. All you can really do is minimize the things that exacerbate it and deal with it.
I'm unclear as to why Bethesda would have any standing in this regard. If people wrote their own reimplementation of a game but simply required assets from the original game to be on the client machines, my feeling is that Bethesda doesn't own anything with respect to the reimplementation. That was entirely coded by someone else.

As long as assets are not shipped with the project, no trademarks are used by the project, and no original code from the original binary or implementation were used, the reimplementation is an entirely new product not owned by Bethesda.
From /r/SpaceX, the estimates is that this is a Raptor engine at similar size as the Merlin engine they currently use in Falcon 9.

If so, it'd be about 1/3 size of the "real" Raptor. Though, they also have a contract to develop a Raptor-powered F9 upper stage, so this size could be potentially for that.
I've used OVH for more than three years professionally for both production and development applications without any issues or problems.

Their customer support is indeed quite ever so lacking, but you generally never need them unless you run into a issue with the hardware, or the network.
One interesting point they touch upon is medicare's move to bundled payments creating an incentive for physicians (and hospitals) not to operate on anyone they believe more likely to suffer complications, including the obese. Fair or not, people respond to incentives, especially financial incentives. We will start to hear a lot more about this in the future.
Just because journalists don't spend a lot of time writing articles about ordinary working people with an income in Bitcoin doesn't mean they don't exist. The news media does not portray a balanced, holistic view of reality. All in all, I think an article about someone just having an income in Bitcoin would be too boring for any editor to accept.
Testing on the Alto and Diablo successful, booted up today
Technically true, but very misleading in Rust's case. In Rust you rarely have to break retain cycles in the first place, simply because you don't use reference counting much. Things like "weak self" are not a problem, because closures aren't reference counted unless you explicitly make them so (and in fact I don't think I've ever seen a reference counted closure in practice).
that's not how processes works...
Thanks for sharing the code! I've been looking to explore deep learning a bit more with Python, this is a great place to dive in head-first.
Because they bought it when it was worth $700k with two working partners making the income I mention about. Toronto Life and Globe and Mail both frequently interview people about their personal financial situation. With a few high earning exceptions, mostly it is because they bought 10 years ago and are drowning in debt and/or sold their existing property. Very few people, even well-educated, dual-earning high-self-discipline couples, are really "entering" the market for houses. Depending on earning power my friends continue to live at home through 20s (low), rent an apartment or condo (mid) or buy a condo (high). That is about where it falls for people in their 20s here, similar I imagine to other world centers.

Booting Windows 98 in Firefox on a smart phone is a real tangible reminder of how far things have come in my lifetime.
Wow.

Who knew that medicine and library science were the same thing? Come to think of it, I bet librarians could replace lawyers, too. Just need to teach them to shout "objection" and be jerks in the coffee room, right?
When you're a developer, not a systems guy, so the idea of running a "database server" sounds scarier than just opening a file.
Turning down the brightness had the opposite effect for me. My monitor at the time "turned down the brightness" by reducing the duty cycle of the backlight. This caused flickering that was imperceptible yet caused much eyestrain. Actually turning up the brightness, moving the monitor as far back as possible, and using yellow-tinted Gunnar lenses have made a huge difference for me.

Edit: This is the technique used to modulate "brightness" by varying the duty cycle:

My personal experience with such questions is that very often, the process of engaging in dialogue to determine what kind of answer(s) the asker actually wants is difficult and time-consuming. This typically complicated by askers who don't actually show up to the dialogue, leaving people who want to be helpful with no way to figure out what specific answers are helpful. There tends to be no adequate way to helpfully answer such questions, so people try to filter them out as poor uses of time.

The scenario you describe is somewhat different, in which the asker is well aware they have a broad question. Such people are advised to make clear that they know full well it is a broad question and are seeking broad comment on multiple viable approaches.
Quick and dirty imperative version:

#include <climits>

int count_common_chars(const std::string& str) {
int n = 0, common = 0, counts[CHAR_MAX - CHAR_MIN + 1] = {};
for (char c : str) {
if (c == '\n') {
common = 0;
n++;
}
if (counts[c - CHAR_MIN] == n) {
counts[c - CHAR_MIN]++;
common++;
}
}
return common;
}

Tastes may vary, but to my eyes the imperative version has some advantages:

* Faster

* No allocations

* No dependencies

* Easy to add an early return if common == 0 (in the functional version it's much harder)
You can very likely get any of those implemented for you by the price of a largish site license pf Oracle.
Smart Phishing – Defeating Email Sandboxes
But therein lies the problem: being overweight is so _unbelievably_ unhealthy that most problems would be resolved simply by losing the weight. And conversely, I don't think any doctor out there is refusing to treat a sinus infection because a patient is overweight.
Shipping burns tar and sludge. The worst smokey emissions possible. Its appalling.
The valuable thing here is information. You can't have perfect information in such situation, because people say different things than what they actually pay.

If you have very little competition, then correct pricing is relatively less important. In high competition enviroment several price points help to reach the "right" quantity and price fast.

And in high competition enviroment, shareholders see very little of it.
Yeah, I'd heard that was possible. Is it because the SQL server team abstracted their system calls?
Yeah, but nobody in the west wants to do that?
I had this scenario(or at least close to it) on the company that I've worked before. We had a nodejs/angular frontend and all the backend were spread across multiple api(each api was a microservice).

It does scale very well, considering that all the microservices are written in ruby.

And for the SEO thing, there was a varnish server before the frontend server that sends bots request to a custom prerender server ( https://github.com/prerender/prerender ).

So basically, normal users were redirected to the nodejs app, and google and others crawlers were redirected to prerender.

I dunno exactly if this is what you want to get with "also provides a server-side render", but I guess it's close to what you're looking for :)
BMI works just fine for someone weighing so much that they need to go and find a special scale to measure them.

Already before you're obese it'll be difficult to give someone CPR. If someone is obese that's dangerous already. It's completely normal and logical response to tell them to lose weight.
