Modern Functional Programming: The Onion Architecture
"at most, your landlord will need to get rid of the smell for the next non-smoking tenant"

And while you're there, will need to find a way to get rid of the smell for everyone in a 500 feet radius (im exaggerating, of course).

While I'm absolutely ok with it being legal, and it certainly should not be a criminal offense...it at least should follow rules similar to tobacco with a twist. That shit can seriously ruin the day of everyone living around. Entire city parks are becoming impossible to go through unless you're looking for a contact high.

So it definitely does not deserve to be a crazy SWAT team involved criminal offense, but victimless, not quite.
Somebody in the area should offer to help them out. Someone who knew what they were doing could pretty easily suck the whole thing into an emulator, and that would keep them going probably for the next several decades, if they like, without having to worry that the hardware going out will cause them problems, or that the disks will crap out.

(I'd consider it myself but I'm about 2400 miles away.)
I wouldn't even be sure about that. I could just be a simple formula with a couple of lines of Basic. But all the prompts are using the right terminology (and language), the output is just as you need it and no one ever wrote a version that runs on something else. If it ain't broken...

Homecomputer programming was just so very accesible. I'm reminded of "Why Johnny can't code"

No. Services from the state are crap. Motorways and roads are crap. Healthcare is good but not free. A country with 11 million people and 8 parliaments.

I don't think getting performance on par with C or C++ is even among the design goals of Go, but I could be wrong. Within one order of magnitude? Sure. But not on par.
As I gather the matter, the BBC is subject to prior restraint under law, any time the Home Secretary chooses to invoke the relevant provision, as has been done for explicitly political reasons in the recent past with the Sinn Fein ban. That's close enough to "state broadcaster" for an ignorant colonial like me.

Older disk drives are considerably easier to fix, what often fails are the mechanical parts usually springs, gears or drive bands.

And even when you do have a solid state component failure those are usually fairly easy to diagnose and repair since they are all made out of pretty big discrete components.

Not that long ago you could still easily fix a motherboard, these days it's a royal pain with everything being integrated and with 8 or even 10 layer boards the power planes are usually inaccessible to users, and signal integrity is so critical that you can't even rebuilt the vast majority of traces reliably.

10 years ago you could easily replace the power distribution system on a motherboard and even a large part of the chips, I've managed to replace the network chipset on a few motherboards when it blew out because some genius plugged a hot POE ethernet cord into it and the magic smoke came out.

Other than that replacing caps was a pretty standard procedure for reviving old motherboards, even that these days is considerably harder.
TL;DR

Phil Schiller:

So, the two sort of priorties we set on the team as they were working on it was, if we're going to do this, we have to do it in a way that, number one, protects user privacy. There are many ways that companies do it where they're not protecting privacy and we need to understand that. And secondly, how do you do it in a way that gives advantages to small and indie developers, because it's easy to imagine a system that didn't do that.

And so, we set out to think of all the things we could do to make that possible. And there's a long list of things. And I won't go through all of them to bore you all, but there are many things.

Things like:

- First of all, there's no minimum bid. So we don't set a bar, if you have a very small amount of money, you can just do what you can with a small amount of money.

- The fact that we're going to work really hard to try to make relevance the top priority, over bid, for why something gets shown. That the users are the ultimate deciders of what gets shown, based on their clicks, they're a big input to what is relevant to the search result.

- The fact that we're going to work hard to try to police and improve the whole metadata system if we find, as it easily could be abused to hurt [small] developers.

- The fact that — and this has been a hotly-debated thing — the fact that you can do conquesting. You can use someone else's brand in your ad words that you want to use. As we thought about it, that is more likely to benefit the small developer than the big developer. Because the big developer isn't going to pick on a lot of small developer terms, but a small developer can try to latch on to a big developer's name. If I want to search for Angry Birds and your game, you can. Right? And so we think that that can help them.

- The fact that there's no exclusivity. So a large developer cannot say, "And I want to be the top bid, and I'm going to spend everything I can to buy out this term." There will be no exclusivity, there's going to be a rotation there, and as that rotation appears, the relevance will help drive it further.

We're trying everything we can, and I think one of the best things is, right now, once we're in beta throughout the summer, the downloads the users get from the ads are real downloads to benefit the developer, but we're not charging [for ads] during the beta time. So there's a chance for everybody to get in and try it out, help us learn from it, and drive real downloads and real business without any marketing spend.

So we're trying to think of things we can do, and we'll think of more. We'll take feedback and see what's happening, and where it works and doesn't work, and where it feels like they're getting stomped on, and we'll try to do all that we can to make it better.

Political bias much?

Much.

The Brexit vote was three months ago. So far nothing has changed,

Except that the UK economy took a severe hit and the British Pound Sterling has been pounded into the ground - lowest that it has ever been in over 50 years. And that's been going on for exactly three months. I take it you don't shop on UK Amazon much?

Switzerland may find itself on the same side as the UK very quickly indeed.

One minor difference: Switzerland doesn't need or want the EU, but EU always wanted to have a grab at all the cash and Gold stored in Switzerland. Switzerland has been designed, implemented and tuned from the ground up to be a self-sufficient island, and it is this very idea that has made investors storm the Swiss national bank to dump their U.S. dollars and Euros and get the Swiss francs - stability and self-sufficiency, a safe haven. At the height of the USD / EUR dumping craze, the SNB was swimming in 480 billion CHF worth of surplus in foreign currency, until the Swiss national bank said stop, and lifted the currency peg:

My brother lives in London Zone 1 and I am often envious of the fantastic things that city has to offer.

Paul Graham summed it up pretty well in one of his essays:

Nerds don't care about glamour, so to them the appeal of New York is a mystery. People who like New York will pay a fortune for a small, dark, noisy apartment in order to live in a town where the cool people are really cool. A nerd looks at that deal and sees only: pay a fortune for a small, dark, noisy apartment.

http://paulgraham.com/siliconvalley.html

My mistake is that I should not have compared Zürich to those cities, because I've actually done a disservice to Zürich. It sounds like you really like London, and if you like it so much, perhaps you're in the wrong city, and going back home might be a worthwhile consideration, if you think London is so much better.

But back to Zürich: I'd like to know what Zürich doesn't have or offer?

but Swiss direct democracy is an admirable thing and I am 100% convinced it's a part of the reason Switzerland is so successful. Watching the EU systematically tell voters in the most successful European countries to bend the knee is not impressing me one bit.

Here, Sir, we are in agreement.
Forgive me, but I don't see where "let's give a woman a go, maybe, see if it works out" is equivalent to implying women will be better Leanders than men. It seemed to be merely recognizing that there has never been a woman president and maybe, a woman can be president and not be a garbage fire.
"The researchers analysed the blood of 170 children from South Africa who had HIV, had never had antiretroviral therapy and yet had not developed Aids.

Tests showed they had tens of thousands of human immunodeficiency viruses in every millilitre of their blood.

...

Prof Philip Goulder, one of the researchers from the University of Oxford, told the BBC: 'Essentially, their immune system is ignoring the virus as far as possible.'

'Waging war against the virus is in most cases the wrong thing to do.'"
US prepares to cede key role for internet
I so hope not. I live on the edge of a very small town. We have fiber! We also have clean air, clean water, no crime, a helping community, strong social connections and no congested traffic. I work online. I fish in the evenings or do other outdoor activities. In 30 minutes I can be at a university. I hail from Los Angeles where all of my younger well-paid siblings have had health issues or dealt with crime etc. Small towns have benefits that have vanished in metro markets. I am calmer and enjoy life more here ..and am healthier.

I have to say, never had a problem with Lasership. They actually come up to my door, ring the bell, and move on. Never lost a package or anything like I have with FedEx / UPS. And the USPS stopped ringing my door bell a long time ago. Just comes up drops it by the door and leaves. So they seem to be the best in my area, despite them all driving around in their personal vehicles and no uniforms.
Good luck the customers will be very happy with your apology. /s
You would want to support your local communities / markets maybe, now risking to become invisible or outpowered? It is called biodiversity. Very sad and dangerous for evolution a fully Googled or a fully Amazoned or a whatever monopolised world. Also dangerous: fascism and communism are made of the same metal and come from monopoly of minds and costumes.
Excellent share. Good to know.
There's always been bad stuff in the world but on average it's much better than it was. It's easy to be mislead by the media that profits from focusing on the bad. For a counter view see Pinker's stuff and this kind of thing:

And it makes you wonder - 9/11 caused roughly 3.000 deaths. How many casualties have been made by US troops outside the US borders for "the good cause"? 10x times? 100x times more? Perhaps even a 1000 times more people died following the 9/11 attacks? And now you have given each and every one of those victims and their relatives a good reason to sue the US over their injuries...

If you can hack an HP printer by installing a cartridge from a third party, then HP has even more embarrassing security problems to apologize for.
Even if it doesn't need realtime performance, which it might, it's interfacing with custom hardware, so it's going to be tricky to emulate. This is more the kind of thing you'd use an Arduino for. The Arduino's old-fashioned 5V IO is probably useful in this case.
Use NancyFx in ASP.NET Core
I just tried that app, but actually felt more stress because of the time pressure to find the one "good" guy vs the one "bad" guy (they only appear for a split second).

It would be more interesting to initially see one good guy surrounded by many bad guys. As you focus on the good guy, you are rewarded by producing more good guys and bad guys disappear. Instead of gamifying the experience, show the user that focusing on the good guys creates positive momentum.

I can imagine the overhead for ints is large. But how often do you sort pure ints? A more realistic test would be some objects sorted on a field value.
I'm using Qubes/Xfce for quite a long time (since R2, I think, so >2 years) on all my devices (T420s, Gigabyte BRIX workstation and a few other devices). I'm quite happy with how it works - it's a bit less convenient than regular distro, but that's due to the compartmentalization and thus expected.

The main inconvenience for me is probably having to use multiple keyboard shortcuts when copy-pasting between different VMs, but that should not happen very often anyway ;-)

I also have issues with shutting down the machines from time to time - it gets stuck in an infinite loop when disconnecting the LVM volumes or something. (Probably should have reported that to the devs long time ago, so I'll see if 3.2 fixes this and will report if not.)

Obviously, whether Qubes improve/solve your security problem is a complicated question and it depends on your threat model.

Update: Actually, I've just remembered another inconvenience - I haven't managed to install zfs (zfsonlinux) to get working inside VMs. It needs to install custom kernel modules, and the location is r/o by default. I've found some instructions on the mailinglist, but haven't managed to get it working.

None of my comment was derogatory of the above article. My comment pointed out the article was too long and didn't captivate me as a reader. I tend to read lengthy post but tend to ignore article's just like the one posted.

Now I even shoved it into smmry to get the general gist of the article and even smmry after condensing the article down to 14 to 20 sentences didnt even look very appealing (to me the reader).

Congratulations are in order for what she achieved and with a small family it is even more remarkable.

The problem I mostly have about the article after coming back here was I got more knowledge about her as a person and the company than the damn article she wrote. Though I will never know because the whole thing just read like a marketing blog post.

The `serious` is more in line of `you got to be joking me` that some people take things way too seriously.

I've built Kubernetes architecture and a general container "mentality" to development and operations for a couple of clients and I would still not recommend you put your "pets" (relational databases and other stateful stuff) in Kubernetes just yet if it's the crown jewels in your organisation.

I don't mind putting some RDBMS that is not alpha and omega in the business in K8s but I would still exercise caution. K8s does have "PetSets" to help with this but it's still alpha quality. You can do a reasonable job of it without it by using PersistentVolumes and selectors to ensure your pod gets the volume bound dynamically. That does work very well indeed.

Most other things are fairly easy to migrate over but the hardest part -- and the bit that few people leave enough time to do well -- is integrating Kubernetes into the fabric of your business: accessing the service network, proper DNS that works across your organisation both into and out of K8s, access control, etc.

I'd have thought road-marking interpretation would nowadays be based on something more elaborate, such as HOG, without the need for an initial edge-detection pass.

(But in this case, I'll add that HOG doesn't solve the problem of overlapping old/new road markings)
My knee has jerked and called this BS. Take electricity generation. When you include water used to generate electricity in this "cost" calculation, you're implying that money was spent to source the water or put it in the dam. It wasn't. The water was put in the dam by the sun, and the water cycle continues whether or not you put a turbine in its way. Does the dam have costs? Sure. But water is not one of them.
The drive for our old C64 developed a thing fairly early on where some spring or other near the back would get out of alignment and the head would stop reading. It basically just needed to be poked back into place with a fingertip, but you had to open up the casing to do it.

After repeated repair requests from frantic seven-year-olds, Dad cut a hole in the back of the drive just big enough to poke the blunt end of a pencil through so we could fix it ourselves. I learned to detect the subtle change in the drive's whirr when it was out of alignment, to distinguish that from any of the other things that could go wrong (corrupt disks, usually).

I've switched to Duck Duck Go for more than a year and do >=95% of my searches with them.

I observed there is a set of results that can be found in all engines but each engine has a smaller set that are not found on the others. For this variety of results I occasionally use both Google and Bing.

This variation algorithm that I do, is one that yields better results then sticking with the brute force of either one.

It is these "getting out of the box" algorithms that out compete brute force algorithms on the same ground. That means, with guided context your search results improve drastically.
