Hey alisson - we work with Relay apps as well, since you can see GraphQL request/responses, console logs, and a session video.

We definitely help more with Redux because you can view the client-side state at any moment. Hopefully with Relay 2 we can hook into the client-side storage mechanism and help with debugging there.
Perhaps OP was referring to the pre-cooked chicken available at the deli counter? That's typically a lot more expensive than buying it raw.
Hmm. I don't think this is clear issue at all. I have been looking at monero block explorer, and there seems to be "mixing level" etc parameters. What do these parameters imply if not the level of how many people you mix the inputs with?

I mean, your argument "you're stupid, look at this youtube video" is not very convincing either.
I actually have the opposite problem.

Everything I own and do is terrible on Windows and works fine on Ubuntu.

There is some weird finnicky things with Bluetooth headphones (especially headsets) but it is honestly such an easy fix (plug them in) that I don't even think about it.

Windows on the other refuses to connect at all to my Bluetooth headphones (Sony), my graphics card has broken drivers (and continues to) and that is even before I mention all of my gripes with Windows as a developer (compiling on Windows is basically a no-go)

The only thing I use Windows for is gaming, because unfortunately games are basically never released for Linux.
Ubuntu has turned into this franken-beast that is simply not cutting it for me anymore.

Right from the installer (that doesn't work well on XPS 13 with name) to Unity to Mir.

Fedora 24 has been brilliant and works awesome out of the box. I am constantly recommending F24 to people and have never had a bad experience.
> China is convinced? Then China should tell China to stop building coal power plants.

You realise you're source says they're doing exactly that?

"In guidelines released on Monday, China halted plans for new coal-fired power stations in many parts of the country, and construction of some approved plants will be postponed until at least 2018."

They've also gone all in on solar, having more installed capacity than any other nation. They're far from perfect, but they've started to acknowledge the problem at least.

That would be lovely, but I don't see any way of such change actually happening. The current hierarchy is extremely entrenched and heavily supported by the most powerful entities on the net.
No thanks. I don't like gab either since they're basically a hive of crackpots. I've seen everything from the Illuminati to "cultural marxists" blamed for people being transgender. Sorry if I'm not keen to interact with those folks, but I don't think me being trans is a disease or a problem. If it's a problem for them then they can solve it by staying out of my way just as I've been staying out of theirs.
I drive an old automatic Subaru, haven't had any problems on the gravel roads. I just put it shift lock and keep it in second gear and keep those wheels spinning.

I mean, most automatics have a sort of semi-auto mode that allow you to lock it in the gear of your choice. But obviously a manual has far more control.
Oh yeah its real. Back 20 years ago I came down from Guenella Pass to Georgetown in Colorado and just about lost my brakes on those switchbacks just above Georgetown. One of the scariest situations I've been in.
It's good, although "beta" is a fair description. Many things work, but there are a few sharp edges. For example, gradle doesn't work well yet, and if you go backwards into lxrun (rather than out via /mnt/c) you run into this bug.

It's surprisingly good for an initial implementation, but it's far from perfect.
He called the right number. The Veterans' Crisis Line and National Suicide Hotline are the same phone numbers (1-800-273-8255). When you call that number, you need to press 1 at the audio prompt to switch over to the line specific to veterans.
The two places that jump out at me as possibilities would be restaurant supply places (for example, Gordon Food Service has storefronts in my area though I don't believe they actually sell to the general public) or "ethnic" markets - often small-chain grocers often listed as "produce" or "carniceria" though they are often full service groceries.

I had the same opinion of Linux as you. I didn't want to tinker with it and get everything working well.

Just install Ubuntu. Ignore everyone saying Ubuntu is a kiddy OS ("All you need is X, Y, Z-ix"). Ubuntu is Linux Windows (not really, but it is pretty hard to mess up).

I am 42 so I've been around and you aren't answering the question which is telling.

There are 18 million developers world wide, a little more than 3million in the US.

Between 1998-2004 the us lost 4 million jobs to china, in the same period china lost 15 million jobs to the robots.

Outsourcing is just the step before automation.

I am not panicking as I am one of those who benefit mostly from this, I am just painfully aware of some of the consequences. And you haven't provided a single example of new jobs for those without education which is the base of this discussion.
In America,the government doesn't need a law to conduct extreme surveillance. They just do it and don't give a shit what the public think.

- Drivers in Beijing advance into traffic-light controlled intersections even when the path ahead of them is blocked, causing a junction to get blocked up, even when all lanes leading away from it

This is the literal "gridlock" problem, which can lock up a road system. The US had that problem in some cities until New York City introduced "Don't Block the Box" around 1980. It took a PR campaign, and, some ticketing, and painting a big box with diagonal lines across some intersections, but eventually drivers got the idea to not enter the intersection until they had a way out of it. San Francisco is starting to have gridlock again, and a new "Don't Block the Box" campaign was started in 2014.
If in this case you've a /home that is an NFS mount shared across several nodes running different *nix or even Linux distros then yes, that is a problem.

Centos6 will have different Gnome versions than Centos7. However, both will write in ~/.gnome, possibly .gtk, or .gtk-3.0 or wherever the hell they write to these days.

Better to share your data through an nfs share in /data instead of /home and take the pain of not having the exact Desktop across different nodes. Or to create a homogenous environment with only Centos7 for example.
Despite setbacks China is also actively building up more nuclear capacity, something I wish was taken more seriously in the US http://energypost.eu/china-2016-year-nuclear-power/
From watching a tech talk a few years ago by Googler on backup, my understanding is that they just delete the encryption key (I believe everyone's data is encrypted with a per user key).

I see that the tacit assumption in this thread is that the FSB can't defeat simple consumer encryption.

Can you please explain what you mean with respect to Docker? I've been using it (and the other software in its ecosystem) for three years and have never run into files and scripts that were not plaintext. Even image layers are just tarballs of files and metadata.
"Linking to the application rather than the granted patent is spreading misinformation and is click-bait"

This strikes me as unduly harsh for an honest mistake at worst. Updated information is always preferable, but I have a hard time seeing any bad intent in the original comment.
> Why do we value free speech?

Because free (i.e. unrestricted) speech is anti-fragile.

When speech is restricted to just the conventional wisdom (or really: what those in power are okay with), arguments no longer win the day and our ideas and beliefs about the world become fragile, vulnerable to catastrophic disruption by those who see reality more clearly.

History has shown that any restriction on speech ("book burning") is a slippery slope, so if we want the anti-fragile properties—and we really, really do—that means accepting some speech that is plainly wrong or offensive.
Auro Robotics (YC S15) Is Hiring Software Engineer – Santa Clara, CA
"Infinite Jest," whose 20th anniversary of publication was celebrated this year.
The last time there was a huge technological upheaval -- the automation of farming -- there was a huge push for education that correlated with this, and that's what made a lot of the difference. Many of the state leaders in the high school movement of the 1910s and 1920s were farm belt states like Iowa and Nebraska. (http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2012/07/the-triu...). That really made the transition from agrarian society to manufacturing a heck of a lot smoother.

Unfortunately I really don't see anything near the push for education and training today. And that's an issue. I'm sure there was plenty of pains in the agrarian transition, but education gave an out that allowed the next generation to prosper. Without a good education or vocational training type system, it's not just the current generation of adults that might have pains with the automation transition, it's their kids as well.
For many years I had a 70 minute commute, too, and it was a breeze in a 5-speed, even though it entailed a lot of through-town and traffic lights. On the whole I enjoyed it very much.

What wasn't any fun at all were all the 10-20 minute traffic jams when all the idiots were bumper-to-bumper, oscillating between 3 mph and zero every few seconds. First gear, neutral, first, neutral; accelerate, brake, accelerate brake. Especially on an upgrade. My clutch foot was killing me.
Not only that, but they've taken all these steps while they're bringing hundreds of millions of people out of abject poverty doing sustenance farming and into cities. Cities where they want things like electricity and cars. Look at the history of the world, development like that is usually fueled by burning as many hydrocarbons as possible. It's very good to see a country able now to at least start to break away from that. The rapidly dropping price of solar, thanks in large part to China plays a big role in that.

Uh, this makes no sesne to me. He's speaking specifically about the numbers reported for the Georgia Dock, which, from the reporting in this article, could very easily be completely legitimate. You seem to be interpreting his statement as applying to everything under his job description as director of regulatory compliance.

I did not read his statement as a blanket statement; it hadn't occurred to me that anyone would until I saw your comment. As a matter of fact, the 2nd sentence seems to explicitly preclude that interpretation.

> I have to provide this guidance at least 2-3 times a day so instead I am publishing it here so everyone can find / link-to this guidance.

This may be oversimplifying, but if that's the case, then there's a design problem. Either you should make it work, or you should do some better defense against it up front.

If the solution is "eh, just work out of a Windows folder", this isn't really better than using a VM. Heck, I've been using WSL since the beta, and using Vagrant + Putty gives me better results.

I was hopeful it would get better, but then I saw this post and shook my head. "Silly users, stop trying to do things we didn't plan for you to do!"
Think of all the hundreds of thousands of developers who have put hours and hours into creating livings out of selling items on the app store. You'd be taking away a large amount of peoples living.
I admit I haven't given it a whole lot of thought, but, for the US at least, I see it happening slowly over time as a smooth extension of welfare, not as some piece of landmark legislation. As automation increases and jobs become more scarce, more people will need welfare assistance. With strained resources the government will look for solutions such as an automation tax for corporations, perhaps less defense/military spending, etc. Taken to it's logical conclusion, I think you end up with something like a basic universal income.

IIRC enabling and disabling services in systemd are done via symlinks. You'd have to call a binary to start newly-added services, though. (i.e. systemctl daemon-reload && systemctl start service)
It is a similar vector of attack as with root achieving pendrives, except PCIe devices are even less verified.

TCB verification in TPM and firmware to verify the code running on the microcontroller is required to prevent such an attack.
So, to be clear, it is systemd itself that expects to be able to spit its logs to journald. Other services (most of the rest of a system) can log to whatever target it wants, including plain text files or a running syslog.

The idea is that systemd wanted to not implement a bunch of different logging APIs within systemd itself. They wanted one logging API across all of the systemd components; and, then, if the end user needs logs to some other target, they use one utility (journald) to spit it out to that other target.

I believe the thinking that went into this decision was sound. The alternative would be for every component in systemd to know about multiple logging targets, which would be exactly what people are accusing systemd of being (but isn't, in this case): bloated. systemd and all of its components log one way, allowing for a very simple logging code path. journald allows you to use those logs in many ways.

So, either, systemd would need to expand to include support for a bunch of different logging mechanisms, or it would support one simple logging API and provide a way to export those logs to other targets.

Are you here arguing that systemd should be made larger and more complicated, in order to support other kinds of logging (like syslog and plain text files) without the help of journald?

To me, this looks like modularization and componentization at a reasonable level of abstraction. It simplifies the logging code for every component, while also providing a means for end users to consume the logs in the ways they prefer, including plain text.
This post shows that you, too, are a member of "the public" which is ignorant "to what is going on at the uspo." It's the USPTO, by the way.

Can anyone find out who they are?

Of course you can. You can find the examiner who reviewed this patent, you can find the references cited in the rejection, which precipitated the amendments to the claims. You can even find his phone number and email address.

I wonder if there is any form of moral hazard in the uspo office,
possibly in the form of workers being incentivized to issue patents

They are incentivized to reject applications multiple times, to force an RCE, etc. via a point-based performance metric. Prosecuting a patent is not a walk in the park. Rejections get you points. Allowances do not get you points.

Maybe offices or workers are granting patents for the sake of being
able to show a high number of patents issued at the end of the year.

This shot in the dark is totally baseless, and incorrect.

I do know that something needs to change, a change that
hopefully adds transparency and holds people responsible.

How transparent do you want it? Do you want every office action made public? Do you want all communication between the examiner and the applicant to be made public? Do you want all responses to the rejections and references asserted as prior art for purposes of anticipation (novelty) or obviousness (inventive step) to be listed out for the entire world to see?

OH WAIT. IT ALREADY IS.
I watched a show on LA gangs and there are areas where the police don't even go anymore because the gangs are packing assault rifles.

If the police don't have any weapons, why would they patrol ANY area that might be dangerous?

Edit: I see you recognize that some should be armed. Perhaps you're right. Maybe its discretionary based on your patrol. They could deputize parking enforcement. Oh wait, that might be worse haha.
Like the article says. You point your Nginx to serve files out of the "c" drive mount point.
I think the idea is that if a second "keyboard" is plugged in while the machine is locked/asleep, it shouldn't work. Even for the scenario where you dump $BEVERAGE into your keyboard, forcing a hard reboot to be able to plug in another keyboard (and log back in) doesn't seem unreasonable.

Tycho Brahe suggested a geocentric system which explained phases of Venus before they were even discovered.

AFAIK the first serious "proof" (as far as we can talk about proving that the Sun is the center of everything) was the observation of stellar parallax some century later. In Galileo's time parallax was too small to detect and it was an open question whether stars are too far to observe it (postulated by Copernicus) or Earth is actually immobile (postulated by Tycho Brahe et al).
What is viable though? First come, first served enables domainers. Jacking up annual domain prices can be harsh on businesses in poorer countries.

Public auctions for each new and released domain might have merit, but will still attract domainers and preclude many fresh companies.
Fun fact: the linux metadata is stored in a little known NTFS feature called "extended attributes" (EA), which is not the same as alternate data streams. You need to use a pretty obscure API to access them. I started writing a tool to do so, only to find that someone already did, including a decoding of the (binary) EAs (which basically contain Linux uid, gid, permissions, ctime I think):

https://www.reddit.com/r/bashonubuntuonwindows/comments/52w8...

There is currently no tool that writes the EAs. It should be not too hard to write one, however it won't work transparently - WSL maintains a cache of this metadata, so you'd likely have to quit all WSL applications before you make any changes to avoid corruption.
Hi everyone,
TryClub is an Instacart for trying on clothes. And we are happy to let you know that now you can try on clothes from almost any store in NYC for free. We don't even need your credit card info unless you order more than 10 items. Also, you can order 2 sizes of the same item. At the moment, we are available in New York City and planning to expand it further. Have a wonderful day.

No, at least not from that directory. You need to use tools that know how to update the WSL-specific metadata in the NTFS extended attributes, and Windows programs do not do that. You would need to set up a file server so that the programs could communicate using a standard protocol.

Integer programming often seems magical. I remember early grad school and seeing "Optimal and Near-optimal Global Register Allocation Using 0–1 Integer Programming" by Goodwin et al, where the very crunchy problem of register allocation was solved largely by punting it to a ILP solver. Gotchas abounded but it was eye opening to see how many hard problems could be solved (or at least adequately approximated) in this fashion.

I think this is one of those techniques that every serious computer scientist should have in their toolbox. Someone who knew some statistics, a smattering of something like SMT (enough to drive Z3) and some linear programming could routinely resemble Gandalf at any shop that has people struggling with difficult problems.

The main thing is not to turn into a cookbook guy. I've known a few people whose ability to just build an actual algorithm to solve some interesting problem has atrophied since they reach for a ILP solver the minute anything gets difficult.
