>doored by a 10-year-old

You almost hit a 10-year-old. Drive slower, if you have problem to stop or change a direction.

>I am always prepared to get off my bike and take them up on their threatening offers

Is it happening often? Why all those drivers build-up all that aggression?

>I look forward to less aggressive, more responsive computer-controlled vehicles.

So do I. Bicycles with hard-coded speed limit would be great.
well, DNS now supports EDNS, which if specified, allows for packets of up to max UDP packets sizes (though in practice this isn't larger than 4096). The larger a UDP packet, the more likely there will be fragmentation at each hop, thus increasing the risk of losing the packet in transit. To reduce this, staying under the MTU of the network is desirable, 1400-1500 bytes for most people.

Though, b/c of jerks DDOSing systems, and reflection/amplification attacks, some DNS servers are requiring TCP for any packets larger than 512.
Uttar Pradesh Election 2017, Opinion Poll
The main issue seems to be if A imports and re-exports symbol B from C, reading code that uses A.B you have no idea where to look to find out more about B; it may even be multiple hops of indirection to get to the original C.B, and that layer of cruft will never be removed, realistically.

...that said, I don't really see the problem either, except in that it will make go less 'simple' to read and understand.
Indeed, my weather station used to sit and tweet happily all day and all night to all four followers.

Then they introduced rate-limiting ( 60 per hour, when the station generated a Tweet every 48 seconds ), application validation, phone-number verification for accounts... I gave up after that and just resorted to RSS.
They do the site for the marketing value. People see the quality behind unsplash and that builds credibility for the agency behind it. It's not cheap to host and run (they had a blog post about that a few months back).

Having a named license at least helps spread the word a bit. The customer might not see it, but the designers, engineers and creatives involved probably will.

It's a great resource.
Doctor Strange: Everything is magical except the magic
I think the issue for me is their overwhelming lack of respect for their users during the Windows 10 "free upgrade" push. The heavy-handed GWX nagware push, the use of dark patterns like switching 'Install' and 'Cancel' buttons, repeated re-issues of the update which installs GWX. Then there was the telemetry built into Windows 10, which "could be turned off" but mysteriously kept re-enabling itself. Then pushing that telemetry into earlier versions of Windows via updates. Now rolling updates into monthly undocumented blobs.

To regain any kind of trust from me, they'd need to begin with a public apology for their approach, and a commitment to a far more open, accountable, and respectful approach in future towards their users' privacy and autonomy over their own systems.

Why would you call AI just learning? Marketing? Self-aggrandizement?

AI is getting machines to solve problems they haven't been explicitly programmed to solve. As it is, we do not have AI. We have some bits and pieces of it. Best Mr algorithms so far only solve problems they have been explicitly trained and tweaked to solve.

Online learning has been attempted before, with very limited success. Making an online learning network stable is an open problem. These tend to quickly overfit the problem and get stuck.
If you mention rights, who said they have a right to dictate you, to use it only in the way it was "intended for"? Actually this line of thinking is unnatural, not the other way around. In my case I don't buy "products". I buy hardware and I prefer an ability to install other OSes on it (besides the preinstalled one), whether it's desktop or mobile computers. We are lucky PCs are actually open like that. It's the mobile hardware that is sick closed.

But this isn't really about attacking rights necessarily. Most of the time they simply cut costs. To make hardware respect freedom requires some extra effort, and the likes of Qualcomm and Asus simply don't care. It's easier for them to lock it up.
If you read the article it seems Allegiant MD-80s have problems 2x times more often than American MD-80s and 3x more than Delta MD-80s. Assuming they did the math right it's a concerning apples to apples comparison.

Also according to this article Allegiant's emergency landing rate is 10x Southwest, which was accounted safest, and over 2x that of American, which had the highest rate other than Allegiant. Again, seems like a disturbing difference regardless of the airplane involved.

Add in the fact that Allegiant's current CEO was the former CEO of ValueJet [1] and this does not seem like a good airline if you want to get home in one piece. They sound like Spanair or Arrow Air. I love aircraft but flying on those two was creepy. They both had serious crashes, as did ValueJet.

I've been working remotely since the beginning of this year and was having the same questions, so I approached some experienced remote workers about the challenges that they face and how they overcome them. For me the “loneliness” aspect of a remote lifestyle (lacking colleagues etc) was a bit of a concern which led me to create a startup based around that very concept! I wrote down the learning points that I picked up from these experienced remote workers here:

If a cyclist hits anyone, that person is unlikely to suffer serious injury, and extremely unlikely to die.

If a car traveling 40 mph or faster hits a pedestrian or cyclist, the person hit will almost certainly die.

The two are really not comparable.

If we replaced all the drivers on the road with still-fallible but conscientious/polite human drivers who always followed traffic laws, always drove the speed limit, were effective at looking for and stopping for obstructions in the road (e.g. pedestrians crossing the street), followed at a safe distance, and adjusted their speed and following distance to match road conditions, the death rate from traffic collisions would drop dramatically.

If we replaced all the cyclists with perfect riders, the death rate from traffic collisions would change only marginally.
The fact that MailChimp got on to Firefox's privacy block list is not too surprising to me. I deal with many daily spam emails that all originate from MailChimp. No amount of checking off on their unsubscribe form that the senders are using MailChimp as a spam service actually gets some sort of invention to occur. Personally I am glad that they are being flagged since they do not do much to stop spammers.

The biggest problem with creating a free software social service is that you can't just apply the old method that GNU has used historically: Just mirror the interface and you're done.

That method works fine for many different tools. But with social apps you need to be able to federate, which means you need to have a proprietary vendor who wants to help, which isn't going to happen.

I'm hoping Matrix will provide the bridging required to be able to send notifications from Diaspora to Twitter (for example). I will always be a hack though. :/

This can happen anytime, and could since the times human life became more complicated than hunting and gathering and living in caves.

Negavive emotions (and physical pain) may be a warning, but I strongly wish I'd have more control over them. It reminds me of a typical scene from a naval or sci-fi movie, when something happens and there's an alarm siren blaring. The captain comes to bridge and asks some crewman to shut off the alarm sound. Because such a warning is useful until it's heard and understood, and then it's only seriously distracting. Much like negative emotions and physical pain.
I agree with the other commenters. When I saw "Unsplash license", I thought "ugh, another proprietary license that probably gives rights to the website" and didn't bother with it further.
I just came to visit New Delhi from the US and the air is indeed horrible. Visibility is very low and it's not the usual winter fog. My eyes are itchy and am developing some sinus headache. (I'm not generally susceptible to any respiratory issues). Masks have all sold out.

Reported PM 2.5 and PM 10 levels have reached new records. One newspaper showed that the levels for some metrics are how high that the usual meters are all maxed out and can't even measure it.
> We need permanent daylight savings time. Yesterday sunset was around 6pm in LA. Today it will be at 5pm. At least I had a little bit of daylight after work, now it's just depressing.

I would like to decouple waking up earlier and leaving work earlier from changing numbering of hours such that midnight and midday happen at 1:00 instead of 0:00/12:00. But considering that some countries already adopted permanent DST for reasons you described I'm not holding my breath.

Now it remains to be seen if they will keep living like they do now or slowly drift back (in terms of solar time, not official time) to where they started from.

I've written quite a lot of concurrent code through the last years (network servers, protocol, ...) and overall I now like Go most.

The biggest reason for this is not that necessarily that I think it has absolutely the best concurrency model, but that it's the most consistent one. Nearly all libraries are written for the model, which means they assume multithreaded access, blocking IO (reads/writes) and no callbacks. As a result most libraries are interoperable without problems.

Erlang/Elixir should have similar properties - however I haven't used it.

Javascript has a similar property because at least everything assumes the singlethreaded environment and concurrency through callbacks (or abstraction of them like promises and async/await on promises). I also like the interoperability and predictability here. But sometimes nested callbacks (even with promises) lead to quite a big of ugly code. And calling "async methods" is not possible from "sync methods" without converting them to async first (which could mean some big refactoring). So I prefer the Go style in general.

The worst thing from my point of view are all the languages that do not have a standard concurrency model, e.g. C++, Java, C#, and according to this article also Python. Most of them have several libraries for (async) IO which can be beautiful by themselves but won't integrate into remaining parts of the application without lots of glue code. E.g. boost asio is nice, but you need a thread with an EventLoop. If your main thread is already built around QT/gtk you now need another thread and then have 2 eventloops which need to interact. Some question for Java frameworks, e.g. integrating a Netty EventLoop in another environment (Android, ...). In these languages we then often get libraries which are not generic for the whole language but specific to a parent IO library (works with asio, works with asyncio, ...) and thereby some fragmented ecosystems.

A standard question that also always arises in these "mixed-threaded" languages when you have an API which takes a callback is: From which thread will this callback be invoked? And if I cancel the operation from a thread, will it guarantee that the callback is not invoked. If you don't think about these you are often already in bug/race-condition land.
The point was that the proposal is based on assumptions that don't hold true in ever culture, but would be forced onto those cultures if it were implemented. This is of course true for most, if not all, proposals for changing the way we handle time.

According to Wikipedia there are at least three "first day of the week" in use, sorted by (my assumption of) affected population:

Monday: EU and most of other European countries, most of Asia and Oceania

Sunday: Canada, USA, Korea, Japan, Israel, South Africa, most of Latin America

Saturday: Much of the Middle East
> Changes to "two hours after sunrise". Which is more accurate in a globalized world anyway [...]

That's not really any better as solar time varies by season and latitude, and becomes totally meaningless at the extremes. "Two hours after sunrise" is a meaningless statement for about half of the year in the attic circle for instance.

> There are older people who go to bed at 19:00 right after their supper and are up by 5:00, and there are younger people who will be out partying all night, go to sleep at 5:00, and wake up at 12:00. Expecting everyone to abide by the same 9-5 schedule, even in the same current-day timezone, is social tyranny.

Humans are diurnal and "9-5" covers daytime (i.e., when people are active) at most latitudes during most seasons in most timezones. Businesses will center their schedules around this window no matter what it's called.
How corporates in the Netherlands are getting closer to startups
Interestingly, my first Toshiba laptop was whatever the Canadian equivalent of the A205 was in 2007. No problems other than it needed a custom driver for the wifi (which eventually made its way into the kernel).

Toshiba used to maintain a webpage on their Japanese site that listed what worked and what didn't in Linux for all of their models. It also listed any custom drivers that it might need. It's the reason I switched to Toshiba originally. Unfortunately, it does not seem to be there any more (or I can't find it). Last time I looked at it, every single modern model had no problems. When I bought the K63, the trackpad didn't work properly (I bought it days after it was first released), but they said that a driver was being updated on that page. Sure enough, about 2 months later it was fine.

It's a moot point now I suppose since they are apparently leaving the business.

If you read that page, it also explains that it also has a fallback to a very permissive copyright licence in cases where you cannot release a work to the public domain.

Not all countries have a concept of public domain, and many that do have arbitrary restrictions applied to it. In fact, this is one of the reasons you should use CC0 rather than just saying "public domain" or using something like the Unlicense.

WW3 JUST IN HILLARY WANTS US TO BE ISLAMIC STATE
I've been thinking this for years, as dealing with time has been a chore in software development.

But I think it would make life simpler for those with the resources to deal with time zones and harder for those with less resources.

You wouldn't want a change made in medicine that made life easier for doctors but harder for patients, would you? I'm mean, which is trained to deal with complexity and is well paid to do it? And which is often overwhelmed with what's happening to them?

Of course, software is going to make time easier and easier to deal, so perhaps it doesn't matter if we change how we deal with it or not. Not in the long run anyway.

Software may get so good at dealing with time that we each can deal with it exactly how we want to and the software we used to share information will seamlessly deal with all the translation back and forth.
It is expensive of course, else they would have been doing it for a long time.

But 12kWh/m^2 is for direct sunlight which cabbage etc. probably do not need, as they will have had some thoughts into that, also other hydroponic farms like in Singapore have the same problem. Also the light is tinted more violet and thus more efficiently usable for the plants. And I would not count with 20ct/kWh, as they probably pay industrial rates (though I have no idea how much that is over there).

Look, open-source projects may be "free" in the sense that you don't pay money for them, but they still cost time. Time to learn, time to integrate into your project, time to debug if things go wrong. Not to mention time to switch to another library if the one you picked doesn't work out for some reason.

As such, there exists a kind of implied social contract between the project owner and users. The owner wants people to use the library[1] and improve it, and the users in turn want semi-frequent updates/fixes and to be informed about the status of the project. Projects that are regularly updated receive more users and contributors, who in turn help provide bug reports, improvement ideas and PRs.

Calling users "entitled" for asking the owners to adhere to the aforementioned social contract, which defines open-source and holds it together like glue, betrays a fundamental lack of understanding of what this ecosystem is and how it manages to be a legitimate alternative to commercial software.

[1]If the owner has other reasons for putting up the project on Github/Gitlab etc (e.g. it's their hobby project, or they want to showcase their code to potential employers), and has no intention to support it, then they should include a note in the readme that the code is not intended for production use. Problem solved.
