> what are the benefits of having yearly regimented releases again?

It's what consumers expect. If Apple ditched the yearly upgrade model there'd probably be a shitstorm of bad PR and people complaining about how it's not just their hardware offerings that are getting out of date, now the OS is too.
Yes, just like ANSI C is one.

The point being that ANSI C didn't took the rest of UNIX APIs to other OSes as part of the specification, but in the end most OSes that adopted C ended up having to support POSIX as well as a means to have some kind of usable C library common across OSes.

Ubuntu 16.04 is not meant for lightweight machines - for example, the Unity desktop assumes you have 3D acceleration (which sucks for using in a VM). It's not systemd that makes your atom netbook slow (well, assuming you're using Unity...)

Re: systemd itself, I could care less about the bells and whistles, but every time I go back to fiddle with a sysv init script, I yearn for either of upstart or systemd...
Your goal is to take a pixel-sized square with sharp edges and render it on a screen composed of squares. If it displays wrong, you used the wrong method. You can't blame signal theory.

In the case of your second link, the problem is inappropriately applying a low-pass filter. This makes the edge of the square non-sharp, and adds distortion effects multiple pixels away.

This portion of signal theory only applies to a world made entirely out of frequencies. This causes problems when you try to apply it to realistic shapes. It's great for audio, not so great for rendering. The use of point samples does not automatically imply you should be using it.

If you don't like supersampling, that's fine. But you need to pick an antialiasing method that's compatible with the concept of 'edges'.

Edit:

You added "You NEED to apply a true low-pass filter before rasterizing to completely eliminate Moiré patterns."

I don't think that's right. It should look fine if you use brute force to calculate how much of every texel on every polygon shows up in every pixel. And it should look fine with much more efficient approximations of that. At no point should it be necessary to use filters that can cause ring effects multiple pixels away.

Pixels and voxels are just coordinates in 2d and 3d space.

They can also contain meta information, like color and transparency.

To represent pixels or voxels on a screen you need to to render and interpolate them. Because, if you have an image of 4 pixels that you would like to show on a screen with 1080 leds, you need to interpolate the meta data between those pixels.
Voxels can be volumetric, ie. each voxel have physical properties.
Also, your models are full of voxels, inside, each with its own properties.

All of my joystick ports were on sound cards. As for the IDE controller, a lot of computers in the late 80s and early 90s only had one IDE channel, and it was pretty common to buy a sound card and CD-ROM at the same time (I remember the first ones my family bought were bundled in a "multimedia upgrade kit"). If you already had two hard drives, you were short on options, except that the sound card provided a solution.

This won't work if the firewall is blocking SSH traffic. Now, if it's just port 22 being blocked, then you setup your sshd to run on something like port 80. At an internship where I had a lot of downtime, I had to setup my sshd to run on 443 since work was blocking pretty much anything that wasn't web traffic. Luckily my domain wasn't on the company URL blacklist.

No, you just like to think that millions of people buy it because of status, because it lets you feel superior to them. Apple's marketing is a mixture of reinforcing the brand (just like any big company), enticing people to upgrade to the latest model (e.g. the big iPhone image on apple.com right now, which isn't going to convince any Android user to switch but is instead aimed at existing iPhone users), and showing off the great cameras on the iPhone (e.g. the whole "Shot on iPhone" series of ads) because that's a big-ticket item that might convince people to switch/upgrade and it's a major competitive advantage Apple has over other manufactures.

The Voice of America RSS feeds [1] are mostly clickbait-free. It's officially the position of the US Government, but has a long tradition of being neutral to the point of blandness. To try to drum up more interest, there are now some more tabloid-like feeds, such as "VOA Fast Five".

The irony of the eroding the UNIX philosophy from Linux is that most real UNIX systems, meaning AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, NeXTSTep (cough macOS), Tru64,... do have something similar to systemd.

> This portion of signal theory only applies to a world made entirely out of frequencies.

That's not precisely true: discrete blocks or edges can be approximated arbitrarily closely in Fourier frequency space -- you just need to admit higher-frequency components.

'Pixel-sized square' is properly an oxymoron if you view pixels purely as samples -- a 'true' square can only be represented by an infinitely dense set of pixel samples.

But this is a feature, not a bug, because neither computer monitors, nor the human eye, can render nor see a 'true' square either, only successively better approximations to them.

Static linking was already like that in MS-DOS compilers.

LuaTeX has a great abilitiy compared to regular TeX: you are able to access the internal data structures of TeX. See my article about TeX without \TeX at http://wiki.luatex.org/index.php/TeX_without_TeX.

With this access you can read and write (and create,...) these "nodes". This makes it possible to completely circumvent TeX's input language, which can be a pain to program with (sometimes it is very nice though). Now that easy access to data structures and the rather nice (simple) programming language of Lua makes it easy to build rather complex programs on top of TeX.

A shameless plug is my database Publishing software (see https://speedata.github.io/publisher/index.html) which I believe takes this approach to an extreme: I can use TeX's algorithms like paragraph building, hyphenation, PDF writing and such (they are of excellent quality) and build my own software around it. I don't say that this is done on a weekend or so, but the posibilities are much, much, much greater than they were before LuaTeX was available.

Shimon Peres is remembers as a dove, but was one of the originators of the Israeli settlement movement in the heart of the West Bank:

> "Shimon Peres was among the first in the Israeli leadership to promote the establishment of provocative Jewish settlements in the northern heart of the occupied West Bank, the area Israelis call Samaria."

> "Gershom Gorenberg in his book on Israel’s settlements, The Accidental Empire, details how repeated efforts to establish settlements near the Arab city of Nablus were rebuffed, until Mr. Peres quietly allowed a group to set up facilities at an old railway station named Sebastia and alongside an army camp in a place the settlers called Ofra."

> That's not precisely true: discrete blocks or edges can be approximated arbitrarily closely in Fourier frequency space -- you just need to admit higher-frequency components.

You can approximate those shapes, but that's an approximation. It's not impossible to do the math that way, but there are stumbling blocks to dodge. Like weird artifacts when you low-pass.

> 'Pixel-sized square' is properly an oxymoron if you view pixels purely as samples -- a 'true' square can only be represented by an infinitely dense set of pixel samples.

It's a square equal in size to the square-grid pixel spacing. It's not wrong, it's just being non-pedantic.

> But this is a feature, not a bug, because neither computer monitors, nor the human eye, can render nor see a 'true' square either, only successively better approximations to them.

A monitor does not quite deliver perfect squares, but what it displays is a lot closer to a square than to this shape: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f8/Gibbs_ph... So calculating it more like that is not a feature.

An anecdote: A friend of my father bought a South American newspaper in the 60's. He did so being backed by a silent partner. What he found out later was the investor was not really the wealthy person he had met but the CIA who wanted a stake and influence in this newspaper. He sold out upon finding this out and I always found this interesting as I imagine this was not a one off event. So writing is one thing, owning media outlets seems even more amazing.

Also he also told me about 20 years ago to watch, Hillary Clinton will likely be president. I remember repeating his prediction at the time and people scoffed at the suggestion.

I never disputed that there are dangers and negative externalities to lack of privacy. But democracy falling apart isn't one of them.

Your logic is flawed. You are reversing cause and effect. Where there is a lack of democracy, privacy is often taken away in order to make it easier to oppress political opponents. But giving up some privacy in exchange for services doesn't make that happen. Yes the Stasi would love Facebook's database, but using Facebook doesn't cause the Stasi.

Snowden isn't proof of that at either. The NSA hasn't hunted down and imprisoned supporters of Bernie Sanders after all, has it? American democracy hasn't fallen apart and where it is lacking it has little to do with Facebook.

But please don't get me wrong. I find it very problematic when governments scan everybody's data. It could have an effect on how people behave even if it doesn't make democracy fall apart. It may deter people from doing perferctly legal things because they could be misinterpreted. None of that is voluntary though. I haven't given the NSA permission to scan my data at all.

I don't use Facbook and I am very careful with information I make available publicly. I just don't feel very threatened by any negative externalities created by those who choose to use Facebook.

My problem with your line of thinking is that you are extrapolating every single danger to the extreme until you arrive at the conclusion that people must be banned from ever making these choices. As I said, you can ban everything based on that sort of thinking.
