Are the Hot 100 likely to be guitar driven though? Taking a look at the #1 songs from 1991 (chosen because it was just as Nevermind broke), most of the songs back then were R&B and electronic pop too. There's Bryan Adams, Extreme and Roxette in there, but nothing else leaps out to me as guitar driven (it's Mariah Carey, Michael Bolton, Madonna, Whitney Houston, C+C Music Factory etc):

I remember the guitar bands of the 90s being album bands, so I thought I'd do a quick check of today's Billboard Top 200 albums. But before I even got there, at the top of the search results was a news headline from today: "Metallica On Course for Sixth No. 1 Album on Billboard 200":

It's not just amount mounting as RO. It could physically be RO (or use e.g. dm-verity or similar)... which would be quite inconvenient if you wanted to add-site-specific directories under /. (Or if a distro wants to add a directory, or whatever.).

Also, wouldn't mounting /var, /home etc. RW on top of a RO-mounted / require that they were actually on different file systems? I don't think you can have a RW bind mount on a RO-mounted file system. (Haven't tried it, though.)

In my experience they're pretty shy, but there are so many of them, enough of them cross roads, and we have 13.5 times your population, with plenty of it in e.g. the fairly crowded North East where the old farms have returned to forest due to it being so much more efficient to farm out here in the mid-West, there are enough deer-car interactions to, well, wow, I just found this 2001 article, and per Wikipedia below, things have not gotten significantly better: http://reason.com/archives/2001/11/21/north-americas-most-da...

The most dangerous mammal in North America is...Bambi. The U.S. Department of Transportation estimates that white-tailed deer kill around 130 Americans each year simply by causing car accidents. In 1994, these predator deer had a banner year, causing 211 human deaths in car wrecks.

There are about 1.5 million deer/vehicle collisions annually, resulting in 29,000 human injuries and more than $1 billion in insurance claims in addition to the death toll.

And here's Wikipedia on it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deer%E2%80%93vehicle_collision... They even kill around 20/year in Germany.

" However, it's possible guitars will never become fashionable again and will recede further into isolated genres like country and folk music."

Guitar is a cross-over instrument in the sense that it can be used for rock, jazz, blues as well as classical. It's supported by a wide selection of composed music for all. Although electric guitar and classical guitar are not the same, learning one of them gives a huge amount of resources to learn the other.

I'm in Australia. Where do you live?

Outside of Singapore, I don't know of (m)any governments where administrators are even passably proficient in matters of technology.

Generally governments are hostile towards any new technology until they can work out how to turn them into a benefit to the state (water catchment tanks, internet, bitcoin, solar generators, uber, et cetera)..

Intent is a lovely thing, but technology doesn't come shipped with intent, and that was my point.

The other (bigger) part of my point was that we need to start having civilised discussions about how we integrate technology into our society now, rather than half-way through revolutions / civil wars.
I hate the term "super-commuter" - I did 2 3/4 hours each way for nearly 3 years and it downright ruined me. When you frame it as losing a day a week of your life it highlights the sheer disgusting nature of it.

The author says that reading was his solace, great for him, but if you combine a job where you have to stare at a screen all day, artificial train air conditioning and hobbies that even remotely involve a computer, your eyes will be all but fked. I lost myself in hours of music and window staring, whilst enjoyable sometimes, is a mental prison during peak times that I wouldn't wish on anyone.

There's nothing noble in commuting - if enforced time in a "third space" is required, then build it into a routine yourself, don't relish an enforced hell.

"... and, as evidenced by the huge amount of work the debian folk are putting into repeatable builds, not a trivial one; certainly not one that dpkg has already solved."

The reproducible builds project in Debian is about reproducing the build and getting every single bit the same. I think that's the primary reason why it's hard - there are various innocent sources of non-determinism, e.g. dictionary ordering in Python (pre 3.6), time stamps, build environment details, etc. If you can settle for just getting a specific repeatable set of versions, I think Debian solved that ages ago, it's just that they don't keep old versions lingering around forever.

By the way, if you take a step back and squint, I wouldn't be so sure OS level package managers really are that different from what what you call language package managers.

Arguably the overwhelming benefits have gone to a very large portion of the American population, so large that it's hard for individuals to trace and see. Think of the cascade of effects of all these manufacturing outputs being created more efficiently/cheaply, which in turn are inputs to other products, and the opportunity savings of which flow into other endeavors all around us.

However, I do generally agree with your diagnosis that the anger isn't so much about automation per se, as about changes in post-war economic structures finally starting to reach some tipping point, whether perceived rightly or not.
Looks nice.

Not sure if this is a bug, but if I set a specific font size, it doesn't attach any kind of unit. For example, if I select 18, it doesn't convert that to 18px or 18em...just "18":

The Apple Router is an absolute Joy to use. Most people, especially enthusiast keeps talking about range, speed etc. But none of them is as important as stability! What is the point if connection suddenly dropped, or you need a reset. It is by far the best consumer Router. While its competition has improved, ASUS, TP-Link, Netgear, Linksys, DLink. They are properly the biggest 5 consumer brand routers, it still hasn't reached the Airport Extreme yet.

The Airport are based on NetBSD, and if you follow Apple you could trust them leaving no backdoors opened.

I fully agree with some have said that we need Time Capsule, or a local iCloud Storage that sync between the local and online iCloud. Making iPhone / iPad and Mac backup much faster and has a iCloud Subscription comes with it.

Your not misreading. VST has stereo and mono because somethings just need mono (For example a kick drum you just throw a mono plugin compressor and eq and save the head space). Every cycle you can save is important if you have anything besides a simple project.

In fact when I master a lot of times I throw two mono plug ins on left and right just to get a better idea whats going on in each channel. There is a ton you can do with them.
And here we see how news written by people without industry experience meant to be consumed by people without industry experience for the purpose of promoting a political idea can use pieces of real information to promote something less than the truth.

Next time you want to see if you trust a certain source for any of your information, pay close attention when they report on a topic where you have a lot of experience. As someone with a professional aviation background, watching CNN cover any aviation topic causes me physical pain.
Assume, hypothetically, that the rich use robots and form their own economy and wall themselves off from the rest. Why can't the remaining people form a non-automated economy amongst themselves?

Economically, it's equivalent to those rich people and their robots just not existing at all and their estates being filled with impassible mountains.
FACT: There's more men than women in senior leadership positions. Ergo your hypothesis that women get promoted more than men is false.

I wouldn't want someone as bitter as you as a team leader either. Team leader is a diplomatic position as much as it is a technical position. Team leader is certainly not a position for everyone and I wouldn't personally want to do it.

>According to newspapers and if we believe the scientific studies they report, women only have qualities and males only have defects, except strength, which is the reason why men are rapists. I'm not even caricaturing much, it's pretty much equivalent to what they say.

This is also factually incorrect.

I don't mean to be rude but your energy is best directed inwards into examining what is causing you so much emotional distress and work on fixing that. It's not a problem with the outside world and posting off topic flamebait rants on Hacker News is not a good way to improve your physiological health.
I did this a couple of years ago to load test and stress a public web service. We used the results to determine how many servers to launch with and how many requests per second we would be able to handle with adequate response times. We were also able to measure improvements due our optimizations.

At the time, due to the company I worked at it, and because the service itself was a C#/.NET service it made sense to be writing tests in C#/.NET using Microsoft's Visual Studio Test Framework. Visual Studio, I think starting from the 2013 version has a built in load testing capability that integrates with Azure (you have to create an account) that will automatically spin up instances temporarily for you in order to load test the endpoint(s) you specify using the parameters you provide in VS created web tests. It worked rather well for us. I understand this is highly specific to our use case but if you didn't know this existed it's something to be aware of.

Ah yes, the brand has still been in that use. But that S40 or Asha phone is not manufactured or sold by Nokia corporation. I think the brand license has now expired, so even if Microsoft would make them or hand over the rights to someone else, those devices are no longer made with Nokia name.

Interesting.

What I like about the "Day to Night" example is that is clearly demonstrates that these sort of networks lack common sense. It expects light to be where they are clearly (to humans with common sense at least) no things that can produce light.
E.g. in the middle of a roof or in a tree. Of course, there can be, but it's fairly uncommon.

And the opposite as well, no lights where a human would totally expect a light, eg. in the front of buildings or on the top of, well, lighting poles.

Even 10 years ago, it was pretty easy to find mom-and-pop shops in LA. There was even a few that had in-house luthiers, but I don't know of any like that these days.

I now live in Austin and there is a healthy amount of small shops around town who carry a decent selection* of guitars made by local luthiers along with big brands, plus the strings are half-priced.

*I'm assuming they are decent. I play left-handed, so can't speak of the quality.

Does the US really have a problem with unemployment? Nationally it is at its lowest since like 2000 - around 5% now. Yes averages are not good to use, there are areas where it might be 0.5% and some where it is 10%.

Bringing back things we used to do is looking in the rear view mirror. There should be investments in technology, education geared towards that and visionary things for us to accomplish for the future.
My first thought: what? Only 50%?

I mean, it feels like the entire world is on-line, but the truth is, that's only less than half of it. There's almost 4 billion people who don't participate in this important aspect of human life.

> "In 2016, people no longer go online, they are online. The spread of 3G and 4G networks across the world had brought the internet to more and more people,"

True, and this is cool. I still remember the times of "going on-line" - phone modems, Internet cafes, etc. Being on-line is a huge qualitative difference over going on-line.

There's a lot of work to be done. Work, I fear, not many want to do. I'd like to see a clean separation between data, code and compute. The data would belong to users, code would be a commodity we run on data instead of sending our data to code vendors. Compute is pretty abstracted away already on a technical level, but it's chosen by the code vendors instead of users. I think it would be ultimately worth it to decouple the two.
Another option is Toptal, which I've heard is higher quality, and we're currently in the process of evaluating candidates with them.

I've successfully used Upwork for design and smaller development jobs. Nothing mission critical, but with a 4-figure spend per job, so all added up it's not pocket change.

Here's what worked for me to find good freelancers, it's almost a bit of a marketing funnel concept applied to hiring:

- filtering of the candidates that can see the job
- screening questions
- detailed job description
- clear scoping of the deliverables and timelines
- ask freelancers to reply with questions about the deliverables
- sample of the work I want
- video interview
- daily check-ins once candidate is hired

The filtering (by time zone, hours worked, skills, etc.) narrows your pool of potential candidates, but it's a first step of removing low quality from your funnel.

Next are the screening questions - half of the freelancers don't even read them in detail. You fail the answers, that's it. If you can't read the instructions, then you probably can't do the job either.

The scoping and questions about the deliverables helps me understand how the freelance thinks about the project. I look for people who can do small iterations and take feedback vs. sort of "pulling a rabbit out of the hat" type of personality. The work sample then gives me an understanding if we're on the same page.

The video interview adds a personal touch and you can figure out if you'll be able to work together. That's fundamental, because once the project is underway, you really don't want daily check-ins with no "vibe" between the two of you.

Finally - consider price. You get what you pay for. Going the lowest price, offshore route is not the way to go.
