There's a lot of arguing and a main proponent of the "big blocks" camp has organised enough miners to current bitcoin scaling enhancements.

They demand bigger blocks before they allow further scaling enhancements.

Thanks for catching that. You are right. Here is the source code: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/fs/proc/uptime...

My source (first result in Google) was this link https://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.1/Deployment_Guide/s2-p... which looks like an older version of the documentation that does not have that last sentence.
Stuff like Uber figured out they could charge people more when their battery was low.
Both have been kicked out of markets for not playing by the rules.

Now they may both "win" in the end and make many billions, so the end story may be "focus on growth not playing by the rules, if you have enough money you will eventually win anyway"

I'm not sure what you mean, but I have chosen to store slices on the disk so that I could still take a look at them, and not store the data only in numpy arrays. That could be optimize for a better processing time!

Yes. Cutting blades are in the middle of the industrial spectrum. They are generally 2-5mm in dimension and need to be grown relatively clean, but color does not matter, so they are commonly yellow or brown (those colors grow faster than white or blue).

I've been on a mbp for 4 years and just switched to windows. My biggest issue is the file sharing. I'm using vagrant/virtualbox with smb and a server process running off a shared filesystem is noticeably slow. I've resorted to having my files within the VM which is much much better. I'm used to using Emacs so its not a problem for me. PS: I'm running off 2 nvme ssds in raid 0 so I don't think disk is the issue.
Apparently they have simply observed that users are more likely to pay the surge pricing when low on battery, and they claim not to factor it into the surge algorithm itself.

Makes sense to me, afaik the driver UI shows surge pricing based on an area and not individual users.
I don't want VC funding, I want Microsoft to go in this direction. Their phone OS was great, I generally like their tablets, and most desktop software works already on Windows. If anyone from Microsoft is listening I want them to do this.

Do you think it's strange that cities need to map nature to prove its economic value?

I've never understood the appeal of cities (other than a quick 1-2 day visit).

Cities are more inefficient[1], have more pollution[2], have less nature[3], stink like shit[4], have less happiness[5], have more noise[6], require subways and mass transit just to get around, are more expensive[7], etc. (the list almost doesn't end).

Yes, everything is just a toolbar of tabs. Gitlab should revisit the UI with an empty blank slate with the constraint that there is almost everyone out there accustomed to using the other Hub.

Either be incrementally better than the Hub in UX or come up with a UX that developers wanted but never knew they wanted.
Not necessarily, if the bottle is very flexible.
There are three things I want from an alternative:

1) Decentralized, preferably democratic-by-the-users, control. No centralized server where everything is kept in plaintext.

2) Privacy. I share what I want, and only that. People with whom I don't connect don't know I exist.

3) Authentication. My online identity is unique to something about me that exists in meatspace. Whom I connect with can be restricted to people I know in meatspace. Note that this is the opposite of our normal standard of anonymity: 4chan can be as anonymous as it likes, but a social network for groups of friends ought to prevent anonymous trolls or ads from flooding into my feed.

Basically, I want a social network on which I own and control my own info, and on which I keep my IRL identity strictly separated from, for instance, the anime avatar I pretended to be on various bulletin boards.

Do any existing alternative social networks meet these criteria?

Kubrick, film, 1964:

"President: "You know how we've always talked about the possibility of something going wrong with the bomb. The bomb, Dimitri. The hydrogen bomb. Well now what happened is, one of our base commanders, he had a sort of, well he went a little funny in the head. You know. Just a little... funny. And uh, he went and did a silly thing. Well, I'll tell you what he did, he ordered his planes... to attack your country."

"Listen, I've been all over this with your ambassador. It is not a trick. Well I'll tell you. We'd like to give your air staff a complete run down on the targets, the flight plans, and the defensive systems of the planes. Yes! I mean, if we're unable to recall the planes, then I'd say that, uh, well, we're just going to have to help you destroy them, Dimitri. I know they're our boys."

"Who should we call? Who should we call, Dimitri? The people...? Sorry, you faded away there. The People's Central Air Defense Headquarters. Where is that, Dimitri? In Omsk. Right. Yes. Oh, you'll call them first, will you? Uh huh. Listen, do you happen to have the phone number on you, Dimitri? What?""

... (later) ...

"DeSadeski: the deciding factor was when we learned that your country was working along similar lines, and we were afraid of a doomsday gap.

President: This is preposterous. I've never approved of anything like that.

DeSadeski: Our source was the New York Times.

President: Dr. Strangelove, do we have anything like that in the works?

Dr Strangelove: Under the authority granted me as director of weapons research and development, I commissioned last year a study of this project by the Bland corporation. Based on the findings of the report, my conclusion was that this idea was not a practical deterrent, for reasons which, at this moment, must be all too obvious.

Dr Strangelove: it's remarkably simple to do that. When you merely wish to bury bombs, there is no limit to the size. After that they are connected to a gigantic complex of computers. Now then, a specific and clearly defined set of circumstances, under which the bombs are to be exploded, is programmed into a tape memory bank.

but the... whole point of the doomsday machine... is lost... if you keep it a secret! Why didn't you tell the world, eh?"

In reality:

Playstation VR hits a decent sweet spot on price/quality IMHO. $350 for a PS4, $100 for a pair of PS Move controllers, $60 for a PS camera, and $400 for the headset. That's a total of $910, but cheaper if you already own some of the components. 36 million homes already had a PS4 as of this past January, so they can cut $350 from that price.

The quality isn't as good as a Vive, but I've been able to play for hours without nausea. I bought an Oculus DK1 shortly after launch and suffered pretty severe nausea within 20 minutes most of the time. I was worried that I might be one of these people who just doesn't have the stomach for VR, but now I suspect it was the lack of head tracking on the DK1.

My point is that the mediator shouldn't make the decision that is not in the role. If the deadlock is concerning i.e. two competing architectural decisions the mediator should help the different people with architect roles engaged in the debate to decide how to move forward.

Trusting that a single Tech Lead always will have the right context to authoritatively decide the best way forward seems naive to me. Where is this magical person?
Because a bank robbery is a robbery, not mere theft. In a robbery, you make a credible threat to use force against another human being. That's hopefully still worse than stealing $x.

What I find most interesting about the rise in the last months, is that it seems organic. No huge bubbles, no temporary rises in volume. Just growth. I'm not saying it's not speculative by any means, but it does have a healthier and more solid feel, which I personally welcome.

Upvote for posting a disclaimer that you have a horse in the race. People need to try and start doing this more when posting opinions.
I'm currently in a situation where I've needed to extend access to a wireless network - with two routers (as each has a single radio).

So I have a router that connects to a NATed subnet, which is plugged into another router which provides DHCP to a different private address space for my devices. Granted, in theory all these media hops could've been handled by (more) ethernet level bridging - but if I had simply had native routable ipv6 on my lan, routing through a couple of boxes would've been rather simple - as would exposing ssh or samba on my desktop to the lan or the Internet.

As it is, it's a terrible hack, that sort-of works...
I run Ubuntu 16.04 VM using VMWare Workstation Pro on Windows 10 and I love it. I rarely go to Windows. One great thing I love about running the VM is being able to make clones. If I screw up my dev environment, I don't need to set it up again, I just use a previously created clone which I store on another disk. This advantage alone gives me great peace of mind and I am willing to compromise a little bit on performance. The performance hit is barely noticeable as long as you have a modern processor and SSD. SSD is the absolutely important for good VM performance. I used to use VirtualBox a few years ago and it used to crash. I tried VMWware Workstation and the difference was night and day. I never touched Virtual Box again.

I remember being exposed to that novel for the first time as a young man while watching The Matrix. Neo was hiding a data disk in a hollowed out copy of the book on his bookshelf. The ideas were far beyond what I could relate to or understand as a 22 year old. I doubt I still have the old paperback I ordered from Amazon, but I intend to track down a copy and have another go at it.
Gladly: Any redistribution of modified versions of Ubuntu must be approved, certified or provided by Canonical if you are going to associate it with the Trademarks. Otherwise you must remove and replace the Trademarks and will need to recompile the source code to create your own binaries.

This means that if you don't associate it with the trademarks, you have to remove and replace the trademarks AND recompile the source. Note that this covers any use of the trademarks, not just infringing ones. You gloss over that case as "just remove the trademark", but trademark law doesn't require that if the use isn't infringing. So Canonical are using copyright law to prevent non-infringing uses of their trademarks.

Nobody has ever competed hard for me. "Skilled software engineers" is a very broad category, and only a subset are actually competed for. Choose the wrong specialization, live in the wrong area, or work for the wrong companies and you'll be lucky to even get acknowledgement of your applications.

I went from using a virtual machine to running rxvt-unicode under WSL with XMinGW as my X server and SSHing into a real-Linux virtual machine. If you don't need Haskell (I do) you can probably get away without SSHing, most programs do work under WSL but Haskell's runtime requires a syscall that's unsupported.

As to why I don't use real Linux - at home, I do, but we have products in ASP.NET at work so that's not an option.

Hey, quit!
I switched to macOS from Linux two weeks ago and I am starting to regret that decision. Most — if not all — the commands that I thought I had mastered after years working on Linux environments stopped working because their BSD counterparts have slightly differences that completely break everything I try to do. It is even more frustrating when I realize that I have to deactivate security features built-in the new Apple computers in order to make things like "dtrace" (the strace alternative) work.
And let us install whatever OS we want on that hw.

So insulin resistance isn't in some way related to chronic elevated levels of insulin?

It's also interesting that insulin resistance is reversible by simply eating less carbs. But clearly, diabetes has nothing to do with carbs :-)
Yep, I am genuinely excited to see where Microsoft goes with this.
I think you're making the reverse of his point.

It's named a "mother's room" because it's for feeding/pumping, and so it's an attempt to offer privacy to people lactating. He's objecting to the name's failure to properly convey that, suggesting that (like putting changing tables solely in women's rooms) it reinforces the (harmful to both genders) assumption that childcare is a female task.

Which is to say - a "baby care room" is also a good idea, but it would be a room with a different use. The proposed name change was about making the name conform to the current intent of the room.
What is your definition of a 'team', is it a 2 pizza scrum team, is it your PD organization? In the real world team members have varying levels of context & product understanding - a tech lead should be the person with a firm enough grasp of a functional area to help make a decision, and that person doesn't always need to be a member of the team, nor is it true that the tech lead needs to make the decision because normally decisions are a collection of trade-offs - and the role should be to guide the team to the correct one, i.e. we were thinking of doing this, response: if you do that did you think of this consequence, or perhaps you should consider doing this instead...

Here in the real world its various shades of gray on most of these points mentioned - if you don't have a lead role what do your junior engineers aspire to be the architect for which you have a handful of - or perhaps they're just looking for a job elsewhere.
Alan Kay in his famous OOPSLA talk mentions how the architecture itself leads to these language choices.

I think we have quite a fundamentally different view on morality but thanks for providing a thoughtful response. I disagree with most of it so not sure it's worth going through each part ;) Only point I feel the need to address is the general imbalance in assumptions.

In my experience, taxi drivers hide the meter, claim that hours are off-meter, claim there are special fees for certain journeys which don't exist, refuse to take rides they are obligated to take etc. Absolutely not rare at all in major European cities (and endemic in the developing world). I've lost count of how many times I've had it happen, attempted or seen other people targeted with it. This is mostly in major European cities. Formal complaints with the license number don't work ("we'll remind the driver of his obligations").

I don't find this especially unlikely behaviour - they are relatively unmonitored and unaccountable. They are distributed - no reputation as individuals. They deal with a lot of cash, they deal with people who don't know where they are or what the rules are. It's often one person's word against another's. I have plenty of first hand experience of misbehaviour, and I know regulatory body does little to address it.

I find it odd that you assume the best of them - you even say they cannot do anything because a regulation exists. Obviously this is untrue. Yet with Uber your view is borderline conspiracy (despite them also having regulations!). Do you think all currently-unprofitable startups are laundering money on a large scale? Where did these billions and billions of dirty money come from? Is YC itself laundering dirty money through startups? They changed their org structure a few times recently - are they hiding something with this? I've seen multiple YC people write about tax efficiency too!
You would have other charges added in addition to the actual taking of the money which related to how threatening you were at the time of the robbery. I'm saying the actually robbery charges being on par with distributing copyright content and ultimately taking money out of the pockets of the content creators are, at the end of the day, both the same if the same amount of money is taken.
