> It's a little glib to tell people they'd better get happy and appreciate how much better we have it than ye olde folks of yore.

You are speaking for the Dalai Lama's intent with this blaming statement. "Glib" is Germanic and means "slippery". And while only he can speak to whether he is being slippery or not with his words, given the words themselves do not blame I doubt that is the case here. However, the Dalai Lama is likely attempting to double bind readers, which means a polarized view of his words will manifest if the readers themselves are deep in dissonance.

In other words, it's your own doing speaking for others and ask leading questions as a result of digesting his "opinion". For example, if prescription and anti-depressants "worked", that would imply we all agree to what "worked" meant together. We don't, which is part of the situation in the US and with comments that blame.

Trump has gotten as far as he has because a good number of people are allowing Trump to speak for them and their own internal dissonance with blanket blaming statements that are in direct conflict with reality and can only be "solved" by breaking reality "out here". America does not need to be great again because being "great" is a transitory trait. Things don't become great because we want them to be great. Great just happens as a result of everything coming together in a holistic (and efficient) solution.

Humans will continue seek to solve their dissonance in a cost effective manner, but ultimately it is on each of us to solve our own dissonance without being judged for our inability to do so OR told how to solve it. We all have dissonance, and it's the internal acceptance of that dissonance, or sin for you Christians, that will allow us to break it.

That's a big challenge today given software makes just about everything more efficient. I think we've found it more convenient to lean on others options with these new found inefficiencies. The Dalai Lama suggestions are wise, given we'll continue to struggle to find meaning in a world with less jobs and more judgement.

BTW, it's my belief that the affects we are seeing with today's societies are related to the ones we experience in architecting private and public cloud services.

> In tech, we bemoan laws against technological breaking and entering with a view to learn about how things work (we call it reverse engineering), but applied to mechanical engineers this is not right?

There are people in prison for doing exactly that. Some impressionable ones killed themselves to avoid that fate. Praising one guy that got away with it because of luck and money is disingenuous at best.

By the way, the PR spin that followed is a thing of beauty: recent articles talk about a "visit" to the sawmill. Any mention of night or climbing all over the target have been removed.

> I think your argument would hold more weight if you could elaborate more on the patent and monopoly stuff

It's not an argument, it's an observation. The guy got incredibly rich by stealing a design, claiming it as his own and preventing everybody else from using it without his expensive permission. What is there to argue about? The way the society benefits from overpriced vacuum cleaners and silly fans with the rotor hidden from sight?
Perhaps if you didn't act like a jackass when reporting bugs, you'd have better interactions, and get less of the "burn out" feeling you're describing.

And next time you decide to put on a show, consider not doing it under your company name.

You're forgetting this arrogant display is here for all to witness, including folks who may (or may not, now) want to contract your company in the future. You also seem to forget the very folks behind code.gov are the same ones that influence who gets contracted with the government...

The people working on code.gov and all of the repositories are truly doing something great. Code has been in the federal government for at least 60 years, probably longer - and this is the first time something like code.gov has been produced. It's an amazing effort, and it's surely not easy to effect change like this at the federal level.

The open source initiative will help increase code quality at the federal level, as well as encourage less duplication of efforts (different agencies likely solve similar or the same problems very often). It also encourages a baseline standard of code and organization. This is a fantastic beginning!

Next time, a simple "Hey, did you guys know about CVE-2015-2171? You may have some vulnerabilities." is all that's needed. Instead, you let everyone know you were in a fit of rage - how dare someone suggest you comment on an issue you brought up!

We need to encourage and support these efforts, not shit all over them.

In short, don't be an ass... please.
It's nearly universally accepted that minors lack the ability to fully realize what their choices entail, e.g. juvenile court, age of consent. Applying the same rules to minors and adults is not a good solution.
"There's no universal concept of morality to begin with."

There is universal morality, the one embedded in genes of most people. We are social creatures, and we understand concepts like tit-for-tat.
Seeing that obesity is an epidemic, it's clear to me that people aren't able to self-regulate. It's not that this generation of humans are worse than the previous, it's just that we've created a food landscape where the bad stuff is cheap and the most accessible. Individual choice and education won't fix this anytime soon.
Oh no please not Trump again, he's got all the bad press in the Western World. I read a Dalai Lama article to bust into Trump bad press yet again.

Someone's gotta build and repair those self driving trucks, ey? And it won't be robots or software developers with a laptop, it's gonna be non educated hard working males of all colors who are not afraid to get their hands dirty.

Otherwise your politicians are gonna orchestrate WW3 for all the non educated males to participate, because the Pentagon's got all the latest and greatest toys they spent trillions in taxpayer money on and they're dying to try them out.

I hope that the self driving trucks part will work out well. But it's still Silicon Valley vapour, until we've got better batteries and solar powered charging stations in the desert, not to mention Alaska.
This, kind of. Though it's not just NZ, a majority in the U.K. aspires to home ownership as well, from what I can observe.
Define a poor choice.

Would that be a job that circumstantially for all intents and purposes requires you to sit down for 8+ hours a day. Is that a poor choice? Would that take away my healthcare subsidy?

Is playing American Football, or kickboxing a similarly poor choice?

Would - and here's where I get facetious in a hope of highlighting the issue with the way you raise your choices/free healthcare point - knowingly continuing the pregnancy of a child with Downs Syndrome be regarded as a poor choice?

Finally, who decides?
While saving $30 sounds nice, it is not the biggest issue here. Historically Mac users have sacrificed cost for usability and elegance. Apple seems to be suggesting the opposite is now a better idea?

Right now, my $1,000 2012 Air has a charger, usb keyboard, usb phone charger, and a usb conference mic plugged into it. I don't even want to imagine carrying around the number of dongles that would allow me to do the same on a 2017 Pro machine.

If you are running 1-2 of copies or applications that very large amount of memory while being pretty small themselves, not much (and that's admittedly pretty common).

However, if you, for example, need to run 20x copies of 50MB application that uses 100MB memory at runtime in somewhat isolated environment, you would only provision machine with 20x100MB+50MB=2050MB + whatever OS needs (~100MB?) to keep everything in memory. If you made VMs for each of them, you would need 20x100MB+20x50MB+20xOS overhead=5000MB'ish, 150% increase in this case.

Also, starting up a container is a lot faster than starting a VM. If image is in the local cache, your application likely starts loading within 500ms. VM startup times are usually measured in minutes.
Am I sharing the cost of your health care?
This article is wrong. It assumes that priorities are the same for all programming.

When programming you should be programming to a set of priorities i.e.:

software performance/speed

maintainability

security

reliability

conformance to organisational statndards

conformance to testing requirements

time to market

compatibility

research/problem solving

prototyping

probably more...

The priorities of your project dictate your approach.

This guy says one size fits all.

Apple's idea of elegance has always been the same. Do you think it was always convenient to not have a floppy drive? It's hard to imagine now, but there was a time when the floppy was as important as an SD drive or a USB port.
I don't think the point of this book is to read it cover to cover, or in this case cover to cover to cover to cover...since it's going on 4 volumes now. I think it's meant more as a reference. Pull it off the shelf and read the relevant section when you need it.

To me it feels like all the subtly is gone. What would have not been explained in the first two seasons is spelled out in the third season. It got a whole lot less interesting or engaging.
If you don't know C, I would recommend to invest time in learning that first. Learning C++ would certainly not be a waste of time. However, if you want to be efficient about the use of your learning time, choose the technology/languages that would come in handy for what you would like to do next.

C++ is seeing a revival of sorts due to IoT/Automotive/Fintech software etc. So from a career perspective it would be a good investment of time (if, for instance, you are inclined to work in those fields).

However, keep in mind what is being called Modern C++ (c++11 and later) is a completely different beast than C++ which is uttered in the C/C++ sense.

My prediction is that the reality of C++ in the near future would be a mishmash of old and new C++ ...and it would go the Java way -- heavily adopted but a lot of bad code written by confused practitioners.
Exactly. The cloud is just someone else's computer.

It's a genuine business case, as running a lean and secure server farm is no child's play, but it's also oversold so much that my eyes hurts.

Actual serverless computing would be implemented as p2p. Possibly interesting in a typical EvilCorpesque large corporation.

Besides, Seti@home (Boinc) have been doing serverless computing for almost 20 years and it wasn't the first implementations.

> Nobody in the world is going to confuse Laphroiag with Glenlivet

Of course not. That's not what I'm saying. All I'm saying is that when I do blind tastings, sometimes the cheap stuff turns out to be my favorite, other times not. (And when it does, I'm happy!)

> vodka is a neutral spirit --- it's not supposed to be distinctive

And yet it is. If you don't believe me, try comparing Ciroc to Smirnov. You don't even have to do it blind. If you can tell the difference between Laphroaig and Glenlivet (a very low bar) you'll be able to tell the difference between those two.

> rum or gin

There is definitely more variation in flavor there. FWIW, my picks are Bacardi Black rum and New Amsterdam gin. If it's a special occasion I'll have a Hendricks cucumber gimlet :-)
Will Smith – motivational speeches for entrepreneurs
Nope, in the way I encounter people it is: "Programming boils down to: understanding the problem, solving the problem, and making sure you are getting paid." which is quite far from "making sure your solution is easy to maintain and nurture in the future." because the future usually is not there.
Right now I have a few DVI-thunderbolt dongles and they are ugly.

If the new ports are about elegance, I wish Apple made dongles with long cables, so as to hide the adapter part.
Do you feel the same way about seat belt laws? Helmet laws? Heroin? Vaccines?

My opinion is that there are certain things that should be regulated, or banned in many cases, because doing so would help our society as a whole.
This move and Phil Schiller's justification of the compromises of the Macbook (https://techcrunch.com/2016/11/02/phil-schiller-justifies-th...) seem uncharacteristic of Apple. Perhaps they are realizing they have made mistakes?

one side of the argument. scientists do not generally take sides in a battle to denounce "races" through flawed metrics.

What the hell is going on over there?

1. Did they honestly think no one would balk at the prices?

2. I feel like they're reacting to every single wave of criticism over these last couple years, and instead of making me feel good, it makes me feel like none of the execs have any idea what they're doing. Kinda would prefer they stuck to their guns about having 10000% margins on their accessories.

This is sweetened with sucralose. In a recent study, fruit flies fed sucralose consumed more total calories than those fed sugar:

Fruit juices have vitamins and minerals that soda does not. With that said, there's also a huge difference between the old herbal beverages (Cocaine & kola nut flavorings, "root beer", 21 natural plant flavors, etc), and modern artificially-colored and artificially-flavored concoctions.

You most definitely missed the biggest thing about that episode. I agree it started slow/boring, but it goes to 100 in the blink of an eye.

Edit: I thought I'd add that that episode did take me two tries (I fell asleep during the boring part the first time, but watched it again 'cause I had faith inspired by every other black mirror episode).

In general, I find Black Mirror way too heavy-handed.
I did it "daily" for 10 days very intensive, and the bliss or what you want to call it was there but not worth the hassle. But I also have a suspection that I'm the wrong person for that because my normal level of being is already very calm and relaxed. The only thing which can get to me if I don't sleep enough.

An interesting thing from that Wikipedia article:

"The name Pāṇini Backus form has also been suggested in view of the fact that the expansion Backus normal form may not be accurate, and that Pāṇini had independently developed a similar notation earlier."

So that may be one of the (few or common?) cases where something was named (or considered being named) after a person thousands of years after the person existed :)

I think it's an electronic voting machine in general. There must be a paper ballot trail. The absolute best setup for voting is the scan-tron style paper ballot. Immediate confirmation, quick and continuous vote tallies, errors are very rare and it includes a paper trail.
Idiotic.

Judging by the external keyboard, is it safe to say this is a desk setup where everything but the laptop usually stays there? In such cases it's smarter to just have those things (and displays too) plugged into a USB Type-C hub/dock which only requires you to plug in a single cable when you come and go. Your current setup already requires you do (dis)connect four different cables every time you move, so you can't exactly defend it as more elegant.
> Windows isn't a supported platform (yet).

I tried it a few months ago and as far as I could see, it's not just Windows that is unsupported, it only really supports Red Hat. It was packaged for Debian, but the policy files were absent and you could only find old unmaintained ones.

(this is not a critic, I understand that Red Hat prefers to spend money on their own distro)
It takes a fair bit of experience before you can recognise the warning flags, though.

Most folks don't realise how simple their requirements are. Most folks need to put files on a server and start a process. What they don't need is a whole mass of rickety scaffolding and control plane infrastructure that gets them halfway (and only halfway) to running an in-house PaaS.

So having kicked the tyres on Docker and been appalled by the messy design and dreadful tool quality, I went back to using OS-native packages and isolating our microservices via (gasp) user IDs.

Judging by their product direction I suspect Docker's board want them to challenge VMware, which (rubbing my crystal ball) suggests to me that their future is a bloated and overcomplicated piece of Enterprise, targeted at companies who think you can buy devops.
AC implementation is actually quite tricky, but conceptually IMO it's much simpler and more elegant than Huffman.

We want to help them move to the latest technology and peripherals, as well as accelerate the growth of this new ecosystem.

NYT Voter Suppresion Game
Why is that more important than UX?
The upgrade from floppy to optical only, or optical to bigger hard drives and SSDs and fast WiFi, are leaps in capability that don't even compare to the marginal gain of USB-C over USB3/Thunderbolt 2... especially when that "upgrade" is paired with the number of ports on an entry-level MBP dropping from 7 to 2 (not counting audio, which thankfully survived).

With only 2 ports, you need a ridiculous number of big dongles or hubs to get serious work done, and any pro user with >1 external HD, display, or gigabit wired is rightfully wondering what the hell Apple was thinking.
I'm a straight white male. What is diversity?
Ok. I'll be that guy.

Is there a clear, stable interface to define this layer as a separate one from the rest of systemd which would also allow for a different implementation to be leveraged by the service manager; or is this just another tightly coupled component for systemd with no regard for anything or anyone else?
Even if you check the return value of malloc, that doesn't help when virtual memory is overcommitted. Malloc gets a valid pointer from mmap, but accessing the memory later crashes.

A system OOM may actually show a soft behavior, whereby the whole system thrashes more and more until it grinds to a halt. Whatever your program does is futile and irrelevant.

To QA the program for how it handles null out of malloc, you need to tweak the setup: disable overcommit and simulate low memory conditions. (Or even just switch to an alternative allocator that simulates failures.)

Checking the result of malloc for null is of course good for maximal portability: your code can be reused where the check actually means something.

Checking for null and not testing that logic is almost no better than not testing at all (in keeping with the general hypothesis that untested code is junk).
It is definitely consistent as a compromise for state subsidized healthcare, but it's also perfectly consistent to think that the state should neither nudge people away from soda or subsidize healthcare.

If someone says that they would prefer it if the state lowered taxes rather than subsidizing healthcare, then healthcare gets subsidized anyway, and then soda gets regulated and that same person objects, it seems a bit disingenuous for the government to then argue that it is entitled to regulate soda because it's paying for that person's healthcare.
Fair point. The GraphQL integration was completed fairly early into the development of ArangoDB 3.1 and we had to prioritize other tasks over the maintenance of our sync wrapper to graphql-js.

I'll try to push out releases for 0.6 and 0.7 next week. Since 0.6 didn't introduce any breaking changes we should be able to update the bundled version to 0.6.2 with the next 3.1 bugfix releases but 0.7 (or 0.8 if it's out of beta) will have to wait until 3.2 due to the backwards incompatible changes.

Keep in mind that it will still be possible to use newer versions of graphql-sync directly, you just miss out on the Foxx/GraphQL integration as graphql-js relies on `instanceof` checks.

Also, the GraphQL integration literally fits in a single file and doesn't rely on any ArangoDB internals (just the Foxx router) so it will be possible to add your own copy of it to your code when the new version of graphql-sync is out.
It has a flamebait title, jumps straight into false dichotomies and straw man arguments, and is talking about something that's obviously personal opinion. Looks like a troll, IMO.

I'm not a fruit fly, and everything is a trade off. If this has been widely proven in human trials it'd be one thing.

Vitamins and minerals are available in more than just fruit.

> artificially-colored and artificially-flavored

The Coke Zero in front of me has no artificial flavors listed, but is "caramel colored", so maybe that's artificial. Artificial doesn't inherently mean "bad for you".
