It's inappropriate to target space saving when it comes virtualization, as it's not what hypervisors are designed for - if so, a hypervisor would have to interpret the underlying FS calls, and optimize them space-wise.
Besides, I think pretty much all the formats behave the same; qcow2 for example, does not optimize on the fly the writing of zeros.

All in all though, if you ultimately moved to a native Windows 10, therefore allocated X space of native disk, the space requirement is not different from having only a virtualized one with X space of virtualized disk (heck, you could even pass a partition).

Having said that, if 10-20 GB of space are taken so quickly on boot, it may be worth investigating (you could even vim the diff disk), but I find your claim somewhat misleading, as you're likely experiencing this on the first absolute boot after taking then snapshot, but not on the subsequent ones; therefore, if your system steadily takes 20+20 GB of space, that's a perfectly reasonable requirement.

There is a silverlining to loss of financial privacy due to taxes. It enables insurance. It reduces principal agent problem when you have many layers of employees.

This reminds me of the Sea Shadow:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_Shadow_(IX-529)

The rumor was that the Navy didn't like it because the crew size was too small and no officer would want to be in charge of it as it would impact promotability. Also, Lokheed was not a traditional Navy supplier.

Congress didn't like it because it was too cheap. The best way to secure funding is to make it large and complex and involve as many congressional districts as possible.

Sure, you can define it like that, but in doing so you've just rolled an extremely complicated economic system (property) into the otherwise very simple concept of non-aggression.

I think "hurting or threatening to hurt people" is a perfectly sufficient definition of aggression, and trying to stretch it to include property rights is a rhetorical trick to try and make a complicated political opinion seem obviously correct.
I don't know or care if mechanical keyboards increase my typing speed and/or precision, but they feel great and make me enjoy work more. If I can choose between a rocky desk and a sturdy one, I'll choose the latter, although they both do the job sufficiently well for my needs.

A few months ago I got myself a tenkeyless with brown Cherry MX switches, and I am getting a second one now, because I can't be bothered to type on a rubber dome at home anymore. I might even paint this one and install PBT keys and O-rings, which only shows that I'm enjoying these things enough to develop a full blown fetish.

I also agree that the MacBook keyboards were pretty great before the retina ones were introduced, and they seem to get worse (flatter) with every revision. I now prefer the current Lenovo chiclets over the current Apple ones.

The Apple Trackpad still rocks my socks off, though.

The negative consequence of compulsory income redistribution is the perversion of incentives leading to less individual responsibility over time. This saps the will to achieve, and leads to less economic development.

These programs are also clumsy cookie cutter solutions, which with a stroke a pen, impose the same formula to tens/hundreds of millions of people, without any consideration for the unique circumstances of this vast multitude of people. On one end, the people lose out, and on the other, they win out in the short term. The only determinant of which side a person is on is the amount of currency that they report to the government that they received for that year.

This becomes increasingly better gamed over time, leading to competitive energies being diverted to economically wasteful activities like tax avoidance (which is an industry worth hundreds of billions of dollars per year now).

To boil it down to its essence: there is no way compulsory income redistribution will be as effective (in the context of increasing economic output) as the market at distributing capital, and it is increasing economic output that is responsible for almost all gains in qualify of life and poverty reduction.

Free association is a straightforward concept and entirely feasible to protect through laws.

The people who disagree with the post are ignoring the argument because it may not apply to their specific circumstance. It is a real setback to those of us who rely on those keys (features, really) but more worryingly a design direction that offers a net decrease in usability.

All MacBooks already have a touch surface that currently performs the functions shown in the touch bar demo. While I can see the appeal of some scenarios where it accelerates what might otherwise require lengthy finger travel on the touchpad, that doesn't come anywhere close to offsetting the loss of the function keys.

Virtually all of the MacBooks we buy we set up with Parallels or Fusion, and the F keys are absolutely necessary for Windows functionality. Having to break concentration to look at where the keys are, or their state, is a profound productivity drag.

Doubt that I'm right? Use an iPad instead of your physical keyboard for a week and let us know the results.

On a sidebar this reminds me a lot of the move to touch screens in cars, and the resulting challenges. Touch surfaces are great but not the answer to everything.

Javascript is a scripting language for the browsers. Its original purpose was to make dynamic webpages by allowing browsers to modify their content according to some basic scripts.

You realize how ironic that sounds, right? No matter how many language improvements, transpilers, builders, etc. you throw at it, javascript will always remain, at its core, a dumb scripting language for browsers.

That's unfortunate. I know how stressful it is even here to be sick, because despite getting infinite sick leave in theory, you still fall behind at work, which is already unpleasant enough by itself. But it's also frowned upon to come to work when you're sick, because you're either risking other people's health, or simply not taking care of your recovery (which will have a negative impact on your productivity).
I am going for two computers. Server and budget Asus ultrabooks with touch support. This should be ideal for me. I will not invest in high end laptops or All in One because upgrading them isn't so smooth but whereas desktop (especially servers) are built for long term use with option to upgrade any time.

I have heavily relied on Microsoft Remote desktop in past and my experience has been smoother for task like running and computing in MatLab or Mathematica.

I have also been thinking of getting Razor blade pro laptop if this setup does not work out. They have 2 TB PCie SSD with RAID 0. That's insane in less than one inch thick laptop.

Laws against stealing are one of the basic laws of society.

Property is not extremely complicated. If I take your laptop without your consent, that's a violation of your rights. If you have 20 laptops, that doesn't change that fact. If I have 99 other people that agree that I should be able to take your laptop, that still doesn't change that fact.

> Now that I've substantiated my claim that welfare AND social welfare spending have grown tremendously, you're trying to move the goalposts. You ridiculed me with your snarky put-down when I made the claim, and it turned out to be absolutely correct.

It's not "moving the goalposts", your claim was that welfare programs were "growing". The definition of beneficiaries and benefits hasn't grown probably since LBJ was in the white house, only the pool of retirees and disabled persons has grown. In other words, government hasn't changed anything to make the program grow.

> Should we throw people in prison for not living up to your moral standards and giving to the poor?

How many people are in jail because of tax fraud versus in jail for some form of theft of property? That's a good primo facie test to verify that this ideology even passes a simple smell test. Even if that did demonstrate a problem, this idea that there's anything nonviolent about your ideology is fucking bonkers. The non-agression principle is anything but:

Destroying a keyboard is actually pretty hard - something like physically cracking a CD. I have accomplished it however. I am notorious for keyboard rage, and have hurt the heel of my right hand pretty badly on multiple occasions pounding mercilessly on keyboards.

I'll say one thing about my Unicomp keyboard. I have beat it savagely while enraged at some other screw-up in the computer or OS. I have sent keys flying, but always I could find them and snap them back in easily. It is physically as strong as a brick outhouse. After many years I have succeeded in wearing away some of the corners of the lettering on the E, S, and A keys, but they are still readable, and it is still as tight mechanically as new.
Nope. Still not possible. Here are screen shots showing what I'm talking about in this Twitter account I save for just the proper occasion: https://mobile.twitter.com/FuckYourUI/status/753547054236872...
Interesting. I try to keep the number of usernames and passwords I have to an absolute minimum because I don't trust any of those to keep that secret, nor do I trust my computer to not spill the secrets somehow through a browser bug or other drive by exploit.

At the same time I totally trust my sim, it's never been more than 10 meters away from me in the last decade or two, hasn't failed me even once and it would be very hard to get it to cough up its secrets without my cooperation (so rubber hose cryptography would still work).

Contrary to www security the phone system seems - from my perspective - at least to have done a half decent job at integrating 2FA when your average website - 20 years later - is still making up its mind about whether or not that might be a useful thing to add.
Ask HN: Feeling that my work does not affect people in need, what should I do?
Hello fellow HNers,
I am a software developer who seems to be stuck somewhere in time. I started my work life more than a decade back with dreams to bring positive change to our world. I still want to chase that dream but I am just stuck in the very reality of our capitalistic world.

I understand we need money to run our world, but I want to work for people who need it the most. Software for really small businesses or communities, non profits, etc. would be way better than my recent companies. I work well, but in my free time I always go back to the feeling that I am not contributing to our society.

I am not a seller, but a good team builder, hands on developer. So I am unable to start something on my own, but I have lots of energy to drive things with others. Does anyone have a suggestion for me?

If anyone needs: I am from India, currently live and work in Germany.
At one of my local universities (also in the midwest US) ethernet jacks in the dorms were intentionally miswired so that only cables supplied by the university (and more specifically, their favored vendor) would work.

Of course you could always make your own cable, but this was in the 90's, when the tool for that was very expensive.

But the GPL states that when a user receives a binary, they may request the complete corresponding source code to that software. That doesn't mean most of the code, minus this proprietary bit that handles DRM.
Jobs' reality distortion field has outlived him!
>your claim was that welfare programs were "growing".

And I showed that they are.

>The pool of beneficiaries and benefits hasn't grown probably since LBJ was in the white house,

I have no idea if your claim is correct (probably isn't, given the massive increase in people of working age receiving disability benefits), but this is in fact "moving the goalposts".

When I said welfare programs were growing, I clearly was referring to how much was being spent on them. Your pedantic nonsense notwithstanding, my claim was absolutely correct.

>How many people are in jail because of tax fraud versus in jail for some form of theft of property?

The carrying out of the threat may be rare, but the use of the threat to deprive someone of their rights is not. It is endemic. A person has a right to their property and their privacy and income tax laws violate both.

>The non-agression principle is anything but:

Yes, that's right. At the time, Netflix streaming was a magical future dream, and Hulu was some weird Hawaiian word, or something. If you wanted to stream video, illegal or no, Youtube was your best bet, being the most convenient way to do it. Past Youtube, there was Bittorrent, but it was less popular by far.

To this day, if you want to watch a weird, obscure series that nobody remembers, and thus was never put on the big streaming sites, Youtube is your best bet.

The best way to resist temptation is to give in to it :D
The SIM protects the carrier against "account sharing". It allows them to be sure that a subscriber is only using one phone at once - although it's portable between phones.

It means that carriers don't have to maintain "sessions" centrally. The SIM can authenticate you to the base station without the base station having to check back to see if you're logged in elsewhere - vital in reducing the latency of cell changes.

(It also stores various bits of technical information for SMS/MMS routing, and was intended to be a platform for "value added" applications.
>if the GPL also applied to the creator of the GPL product THEN it would be fair

That's not how copyright works, though, and the GPL, for better or worse, works within the framework of copyright law. The author may choose to distribute under any license they wish, perhaps multiple licenses, or perhaps give different terms to different people.
If you use actual strong passwords then you are an outlier. Most people use basic words like "password" as shown by every password dump in history. Indeed, most people would use the very same weak password they use for their e-mail for their mobile, and this would reduce protection against spoofing versus continuing to use the SIM system.

What we need is a SIM-type system on the web as well, not to bring the broken web password system elsewhere.
You can provide your personal information voluntarily, and all the benefits you mention would be conferred from this, without any privacy rights being violated.

> One of the more useless pieces of advice Linux beginners are given is to `man [tool]`.

On the other hand, when I was first introduced to Linux ~20 years ago, I didn't have an "always-on" Internet connection and web sites weren't that popular.

Probably 90% of what I learned in the first few years or so came from the man pages and a locally downloaded copy of the guides and howto's from TLDP [0].

I might also mention that not all man pages are created equal. I've seen some in Ubuntu that serve no purpose other than wasting bytes on the disk while some of those in OpenBSD act as a single source for everything one needs to know about <tool>.

No, beginners should start just with the DOM, not with jQuery.

That's how they actually get a feeling of what's underneath.

The browser APIs have become a lot more consistent and useful (querySelector was a biggie), you really don't need jQuery at the beginning.
Decorating individual functions probably isn't a bad thing in those cases. The link takes you to only part of the Github repo. Look at the rest of it and you will see various class-level decorators.
Call it a distortion field, but Apple hasn't been overtaken by marketing people (yet). Marketing is driven by today's demand almost by definition, while Apple can easily make today's markets a little worried and uncomfortable (headphone jack, touchbar etc.) which to me is a sure sign Apple tries to remain true to itself.

I cannot type comfortably on anything but MX black or browns, so I wasn't able to use an ergonomic keyboard yet. There's one company in Australia that builds to order ergonomic keyboard with mx keys, but the price is in the same range as HHKB, which makes it hard to order blindly from across the world, and custom built on top, which means hard to send back for quality deficiencies.

Are there other ergonomic keyboards with mx switches?

I'm using a tenkeyless mx black at the moment where I had to insert multiple layers of padding to dampen the echo sound of the pcb on each key press.
