> Do you work as a sysadmin? If so, how many times did you recover from a broken tty at work? (I mean, is it a number bigger than zero?)

Before then I was an sysadmin for a little while, but I don't really see what difference the role makes. I've never had a job where I didn't at some point need to deal with a legacy serial console of some sort misrouted through incompatible aggregators, etc, in order to deal with a networking problem and/or auth problems.

The idea that I would blind reboot a system in a failure mode I can't diagnose is not something I would normally consider until I've exhausted all means and only if I know a fair bit about it. I'm sure some of my colleagues did things like that as some were developers with relatively little system knowledge, but only a few were stupid enough to mention losing failure data through laziness to senior staff.

> It's fun, but completely unproductive.

? If I had a page for you should have diagnosed and every time you hit a swiss cheese failure with that attitude than I wouldn't use computers at all anymore.
Beijing could just mandate that the ring roads from 6AM to 10PM are self driving only, like they already ban trucks during that time. The cars will also have cameras galore, and who knows...if they are owned by the state (or a taxi company), they might as well just report bad human drivers to ensure good behavior.
That article just cites UNHCR data [1], which is for immigrants registered in middle east (not immigrants in Europe). That's a completely different set of refugees than those that managed to arrive in Europe.

Numbers for Europe look different. Lukily eurostat (the statistics department of the European Commission) has a great statistics tool. [2] shows that about 60% of Syrian refugees registered in Europe are male (a bit less in the last three months, more in the past). Of these males, about 50% are between 18 and 34 years old (again, it was more extreme, is becoming more normal in recent months) [3].

Compare this to the Syrian population (for example with data from the CIA world factbook), and you find that the people arriving in Europe are more likely to be male, and more likely to be young males, than the average Syrian population. It's not the gigantic trend that some people make out, but that's why I said "disproportiantely", not "exclusively". In any case it's no myth but a very real trend.

I agree, though I would say the contempt is not consciously cultivated - and one certainly doesn't become a cop if one has strong anti-establishment beliefs. Rather, I think it comes from the dissonance introduced by internalizing the 'warrior mentality' which creates a fantastical perception of the cop's reality as an endless war against unremitting criminality. In such a reality, the barriers created by "constitutional bullshit" could very well be the difference between life and death to the warrior, who is taught that they and their comrades survival is the most important goal at all times. So they come to resent such checks on their power as being imposed by clueless bureaucrats and overly idealistic citizens who don't appreciate the harsh reality of life on the battlefield.
John Carreyrou at WSJ did a masterful job of making sure it wasn't a mystery that the risk to the family was how profoundly connected and wealthy they are. Holmes eating thanksgiving, etc.

I feel the email from the president was enough to justify the title by saying 'you're connected, which is the only reason I'm responding' but the other comments like 'staff served dinner' and 'lawyers hiding upstairs'.

It would never be a mystery in majority of homes if there was someone waiting in the wings to present papers.
I don't think you can argue that Apple has a monopoly on smart-phone OSes, so it's not really an anti-trust issue like it was with MSFT. If you don't like it, get a different phone.
It's amazing how long a battery can last when it's connected to a device that doesn't do anything.

Have you ever measured the battery life of a battery still in the package? It's amazing, standby time is like years.
It has always been a (strange, admittedly) point of pride for me that a flat tire is no big deal, because I can change the damn thing myself in about 10 minutes and get the damaged tire replaced at my leisure. Ditching the spare probably makes sense, but I'll still miss it when it's gone.
Some electric cars have multiple gears. It's an engineering choice, there's a tradeoff between low-speed torque and high-speed torque/maximum speed.

Given that one of its founding journalists, Glenn Greenwald, is a pulitzer prize winner, and that the site has published many stories on one of the most significant news topics of the decade (the Snowden revelations), I don't think anyone could reasonably place it in the same category as the fake news sites that have been talked about recently.

> You're really playing with fire if you think it's a good idea to let other people classify things as "real" and "fake" for you.

You do this with literally every news source you read or watch. Most people consider CNN, BBC, The Guardian, New York Times etc. to be credible news sources with long-standing reputations. Sure, they are at times biased in their coverage, and selective on what they cover, but unless you're "on the ground" so to speak experiencing current events directly, you have to rely on a degree of trust in journalists and editors. I think the key is looking at the news with a healthy degree of skepticism, and getting your information from a range of different outlets.
one thing that worked for me was iterm and growl integration to show me a system notification on compilation completion.
Yes, but that doesn't tell you how big pointers are. One of the big problems comes with assigning a pointer (which is 32 bits) to an integer and back. You can specify that it's a uint32, but that doesn't save you - when pointers go to 64 bits, it still doesn't fit.
Yes! As a profoundly deaf person, I have the hardest time with conversations, especially group conversations. If this works anywhere close to as advertised, it should help me out immensely. I'm very excited that someone is working in this space!

I envision a day when even normal hearing people wear hearing aids and have assisting devices to give them essentially super-hearing, or more selective hearing. It's kind of strange being profoundly deaf, but having situations where I can actually hear better than my friends, because my hearing aid filters out things!

Edit: I played around with it a bit by myself. It seems to work as well as any other text-to-speech, but I do like the interface. I'll test it out more this week and see how it goes!
Will the citizens allow it to be passed if they knew about it via some news source? Of course "news" now a days is about kardarshians or justin beiber than about things that requires serious attention. This may have hardly got tiny little square cm area in newspapers or 30 seconds air time. Thus sinks democracy. People who are informed are way less in number than non-informed people, but all get to vote thus diluting the vote of well informed people(whose size smaller and smaller as quality of news sources declines). I think there needs to be a law that punishes false information, but at the same time protects journalism.
At least I hope he got paid well for that idiotic tale...
Yes, I was saying why would you use Android instead of just bare Linux (as in Yocto). I doubt you will be writing an ADCS application in Java using a GUI.

Also, I think the Falcon 9 uses VxWorks for at least some of its realtime control:

If the business requirement is to produce something to sell to other companies, more likely than not you will end up writing software. You simply cannot build enough entry barriers and protectable IP by glueing together a bunch of standard components in a clever way.
I agree with the insight, the one that says you are trying to solve problems, not write code. But I don't think we're just mixing the same 8 ingredients.
Luddism was about a privileged caste defending their way of life. That has little to do with thinking about a post labor world and what happens to everyone who gets stranded outside the cash economy, never mind having any capital. If coders formed a guild and smashed automatic coding machines, now THAT would be more like Luddism.
Whenever solving a problem entails deleting a whole bunch of code and just writing a few clear lines - I love it. I think 'how wonderful! Look at all that code we are deleting!' I think is is line with what the author is getting at - it's about solving problems and the less systems and code the better.
I'll ask this again, in regards to claims about Facebook "censoring" conservative outlets: If the same publishing organizations continue to post fake news, and Facebook editors keep having to remove those stories from the same publishers: is it really bias at that point?

If conservative outlets are more apt to publish fake news stories than their liberal counterparts, or perhaps liberal publications that post fake news stories ended up trending less often, that still seems like a problem conservatives should want to address. It doesn't like a Facebook or any other medium is really suited to address.

When facebook removed the editorial curators, tons and tons of fake news stories started trending. I personally witnessed this rather unfortunate turn of events on my facebook feed. I saw friends and family share completely bogus articles about "The Wikileaks", emails, general corruption, pay outs from foreign leaders, etc. You name it, there was probably a fake story about it. At one point, there was a story about how Trump's victory caused Ford to resume their F-150 model production in Ohio, instead of mexico. Apparently, people believed that those kind of things could just turn around in less than a week. I suspect that many people knew how ridiculous such a claim is, but they didn't care. It fit the narrative.

My personal experience and something that is echoed in the article, is that the conservative population is far more likely to rabidly flock to any story that fits some perspective that's beneficial to the narrative as a whole. I witnessed one liberal story being circulated that was definitely false, but it was quickly called out and shut down by other left-leaning people. Where as, I've noticed the opposite effect on fake conservative news stories. Those stories are usually meet with reinforcement, regardless of how fake and contrived the story is.

>"His (Trump) followers don’t fact-check anything — they’ll post everything, believe anything. His campaign manager posted my story about a protester getting paid $3,500 as fact. Like, I made that up. I posted a fake ad on Craigslist."

This indeed did happen. When it was publicly called out (I think it took something like a day), they simply removed the post. There was no apology, there was no correction. It was just removed. But at that point, the damage is done. I'm sure that story stuck with quite a few people.
It's healthy to move on if given enough time wounds have healed. Moving on without a good reason is naive and asking to be made a fool of again. Corporations are not people, they are borderline sociopathic like people though and need to be brought to task and constantly hounded and harassed to prevent them becoming complacent in their social responsibility.

In Microsoft's case, many people believe they keep showing their true colours from time to time.
Wow, those draft riots are interesting, look at this: "The mob was turned back at the Times office by staff manning Gatling guns, including Times founder Henry Jarvis Raymond"

:-O

> That doesen't change that for some people their job is all they have. If you take that away they have no realistic future unless it's some post scarcity society.

This has always been the case throughout history: new technology makes some jobs irrelevant, and humans adapt by doing new jobs. It's unfortunate for people who cannot or will not adapt, but historically people have been resilient to such changes.

It's a legitimate issue when there aren't enough jobs to employ a significant portion of the population, and perhaps we're starting to reach that point now. We're seeing a decoupling in our economy: job growth is slowing while corporate growth and profits continue to rise. On one hand, this indicates that we are heading towards post-scarcity conditions. On the other hand, the current arrangement is that an increasing amount of wealth is being distributed to a decreasing number of people, leading to greater wealth inequality.

What can be done? We might increase wage/salary while cutting the number of hours worked per week, allowing more people to work while still providing a livable income. A basic income is another option, but that seems extreme; things would have to get much worse (or better, depending on your long-term view of automation) before that's taken seriously on a large scale.
That's pretty ridiculous for Apple, I understand they make it for safety purposes but they can't deny it also gives them an unfair software advantage. Kind of like old Microsoft and it's private undocumented APIs.
Go look out the window. It makes you get up and walk for a bit, which isn't bad. It also is something that you're probably not going to do for 20 minutes, so you'll come back sooner.

The other cops. You know, the decent human beings that somehow ended up working as police officers.

If you can't find any of those, we might as well just shoot all the cops.
Did you read the parent I am replying too?

How is road safety relevant to a discussion about zero sum games?
How come no one has figured out that these self driving cars can be tested with light soft and fuzzy tops which only look like real cars, so if they crash into something, even at high speed, they wouldn't hurt anyone and couldn't be sued for a lot? They could then skip to testing much more daring maneuvers on higher speed than they would otherwise.
It's a good point, and i think now is fixed.

Really few people just call the compiler directly.

before there was the msbuild but was ugly from command line:

- msbuild /t:Build /p:Configuration=Release

That's why the created the .net core sdk (http://github.com/dotnet/cli).

it's always the compiler all the way down.

but you can do

- `dotnet new -t console` for template

- `dotnet build -c Release` to compile

- `dotnet run` to build+run

- `dotnet pack` to build+ create a package

- `dotnet publish -r osx` to build+create standalone version

- `dotnet test` to build+run tests
How to Make Throwing in VR Better
Oh, I'm not saying JVMs can't work on tiny devices (heck, there are JVMs on everything from 2005 feature phones to Intel ME to some random tiny SuperH chip in a car), just that a high-performance JVM has so far not been designed for that particular use case.
Not true.
The USA, a Republic, has something worse. The surveillance policy is secret & the ISPs in the USA are already providing access to every bit of data that travels through our wires and wireless. Any 3 letter agency has unlimited access to this information & it doesn't require approval, only when they get caught. Plus the companies now have immunity from being prosecuted.
I suggest handling TCP packet retransmission yourself as well. Nothing beats having precise control over reliable data delivery.

I used to code intros in assembler on the Amiga, and did some assembler on UltraSPARC, so the joke is completely lost on me. I love assembler and low level control.
Don't think this is a uniquely American problem. Icelandic police just got handed a sentence for stripsearching a 16 year old girl.
Yeah, but proof that (Beyond the 10% pre-mine) more ZEC are not being secretly generated for the creators relies upon trust in a cabal of six individuals based upon a "public" exhibition of genesis involving theatrical destruction of computers (whose video was supposed to be published but I can't find?)

Even if they are 100% legitimate actors, the lack of absolute proof undermines the provenance. From my perspective, Zcash is technically a Fiat currency without the clout of a state backer.

I'm sticking to bitcoin and ethereum :)

ctrl-f 'founders reward'
Consider that after by end of this month there will be 200,000 ZEC released following every month with 20% going to the founder's coffers after 4 years.

Extreme inflation will continue sending prices crashing. Recall early this month prices were hovering around 2 Ferrari 458 and now it's tanked to under a 100 dollars.

If we were to assume that in 48 months X 200,000 ZEC = ~100,000,000 ZEC with 20,000,000 ZEC belonging to the Founders.

The First Amendment limits the government's power to control speech. Its not "legal censorship" for Google, Yahoo, et. al. to control what is on the websites/property, it is their RIGHT to do it that the constitution respects (not ALLOW but RESPECTS). Your concepts are too sloppy for rational thought.
Rev-match your downshifts and you won't wear on the syncros or on the clutch nearly as much.
Thank you for these reports!

@"good government style reaming", I just wanted to add that interestingly, a government (at least a democratic government) operates exactly the opposite of Google/Facebook.

By which I mean that there is democratic control over their policies, there is a hierarchy of courts and tribunals, there is a structured appeal process, and there are certain rights that no one, not even a court, can take from you.

It's almost as if at some point, people all around the world noticed that if an organization becomes so big that it's services might be considered "infrastructure", a different approach to decision-making is advisable. And they made that organization adhere to those principles, sometimes by force.

i would be wary quoting discredited outfit such as WaPo for proof. Of course they want Bannon to look bad - he is their political enemy. There is not much info in the WaPo article other than out-of-context, partial quotes and innuendo.
The very idea that the police would return to the house without cause or warrant and search it - which is a grotesque constitutional violation - reflects an attitude of hostility and opposition to the community the police are supposed to literally "protect and serve."

I'm increasingly of the belief that the domestic police in the United States shouldn't even be called a force, they should be called a service. They should not carry firearms, and they should not receive primarily military training. They should be well paid and receive aggressive financial incentives to continue their education. They should always be wearing a body cam when on duty.

There will always be a need for armed police at some point, but that point is not the streets, and not daily response to mundane events.
I do this with PROMPT_COMMAND and notify-send.
I'm not sure how this is "secret". If you're using iCloud on your mac and your iPhone, and open up Facetime on the former, you'll see a call list (including regular phone calls, not just facetime).

I agree it's undesirable that call history is sent to Apple - but it's pretty easy to notice if you use facetime across devices that the call history is synced.
This reminds me "Parsing JSON is a minefield" post a few weeks ago, TL;DR, JSON is not standardized or (having multiple standards) making parsing / validating JSON data very tricky in edge cases.

That was also only one part of the anti-trust case against Microsoft. They, at the time, had a very aggressive policy towards competitors and potential competitors. Going so far as, among other things, threatening to charge OEM PC manufacturers (IIRC, HP in particular) more for their Windows licenses (versus the discounted rate they got, eating into their margins or pushing their prices up) if they sold PCs with non-Windows OSes (such as BeOS, in particular).

They bought out competitors, shutdown development on products afterwards, things of that nature.

Apple's lock on their iDevices is certainly an issue, but they haven't hit half the checkboxes MS pulled off at the time of the anti-trust case.
"You probably have heard the story about the chicken being involved in breakfast because she laid an egg but that the pig was committed to breakfast since he supplied the bacon. Investors are like the chicken, but startup up employees are like the pig." I liked this quote... perfect way to describe the startup-investor relationship.
This is pretty interesting to hear as an American. The only restriction on motorcycle licenses in New York is whether or not your do your road test with two wheels or three (so if you take your test on something like a CanAm Spyder you'll have a 3 wheeler only restriction). You can pass your road test on a 125cc automatic scooter then turn right around and buy a Hayabusa or fully loaded GoldWing and ride it legally.
"Didn't Wheeler and co. try to overturn net neutrality????"

You clearly do not know what you're talking about. Wheeler and his colleagues passed the strongest net neutrality protections in US history. I'd do a little more research.
It is a better lesson though. Plenty of small to medium businesses fail when their main supplier or something goes under. For a small restaurant this could be as simple as making sure that you have two sources of that special berry (or whatever) you put in your signature dish.
For one, it makes it a non-zero-sum game.
As a share of the USA's Gross Domestic Product, health spending accounted for 17.5 percent. Single payer systems like Canada are 10.9% and have similar or better health outcomes.

So, ~4.4% GDP is pure healthcare waste. Social Security is 4.9% GDP and welfare is another ~4%. So, right now we could use 13.3% GDP or 7k per person in the US. However, that 7k would remove the justification for a lot of low income tax breaks freeing up enough to hit the 1,000$ per month range without raising net taxes.

Now, this would take a huge shift at the federal and state levels, but compared to say the 'New Deal' it's not actually that large a change in policy. Further, while some people would stay at home, it would also free up a lot of jobs and inefficiency.

The real problem is a small but very influential slice of the population would be worse off.

PS: Remember, every policy change is going to make somebody worse off, so harming someone is not enough to make a change bad.
It's not about the economy, it's about control. Give them control or get out. Eventually the only companies left are those that will acquiesce to Russian demands.

it isn't uncommon to see someone back up on a free way because they missed their exit in Beijing....The US, for the most part, doesn't have these problems

I'm guessing that you haven't driven anywhere near New York City or Boston. I've seen my fair share of drivers backing up or driving on the part of the road they're not supposed to just because they missed their exit. Someone said I've done that myself, but I'll need to see proof.
