Linux isn't even close to "ruined". It's extremely useful and in widespread, nearly ubiquitous use for a variety of uses.

It's not a "failure" that GNU/Linux isn't widely used on the desktop. As a fan of UNIX operating systems and open-source software, I don't even really care -- and in fact think Windows is naturally superior for that use case. Microsoft has a structural advantage that enables them to be better at putting out a desktop OS than the open-source community.

Why do so many people think the mark of GNU/Linux's success is whether it's used as a desktop OS by non-technical consumers? Best tool for the job, and all that.

I was watching a show on antimatter and it said 1 gram of matter and antimatter combined releases 60 trillion Joules of energy.

So 1,000g (1kg) of antimatter would be roughly equivalent to a 8.0 earthquake.
Dude it's a forum. The medium is discursive.
I thought that was what he was saying. Maybe I misunderstood it.
Rand’s research into the dangers of virtual currencies is not meant
as an attack on bitcoin, Baron said. He believes the currency’s
publicly visible ledger of transactions is too transparent
to attract terrorists, criminals or enemies of the state. “I do not
see bitcoin as the go-to currency for terrorists,” he says.
“As it stands, it does not offer enough anonymity.”
I would not be surprised in his attitude had not evolved in the 11 years since he wrote what he wrote. The rise of social media has changed the way many people view throw-away rhetoric on the internet.

>Subjective standards is pretty much all of case law.

Some areas of law are more objective standards - using bright line rules in lieu of balancing tests, but you are correct there is always an element of subjectivity in the application of facts to law no matter the standard.

1st Amendment law is notoriously full of balancing tests, probably best exemplified by Justice Stewart:

"I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description; and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it, and the motion picture involved in this case is not that."

"What has being a homogeneous society to do with building a proper public transport system?"

A public transport system is a very expensive public good that needs to be paid for by everyone for the good of everyone.

The United States' diversity predates our development of these things - unlike trains and welfare in Zurich[1] and Berlin - all of which predate their diversity. Yes, I have been to Berlin and had a doner kebob. How many doner kebobs were for sale in 1902, when the U-Bahn opened ?

"Resting on one's past laurels won't help solving today's problems."

Agreed. I just wanted to make a caddyshack joke.

[1] And honestly, while Zurich is very diverse on paper, almost all of those foreign born residents of Zurich have one very important thing in common - they have very high incomes and are quite wealthy.

If you just want experience / references... go to local businesses (eventually pick a niche, like law firms or restaurants or marketing agencies...), have them run this tool, and tell them you're willing to get them from an F to a B for free (maybe start with local business running WordPress)... and they can pay if they want an A+ rating. Document all the sites that you were able to improve, find some ways or build some tools to automate the process, and talk about it during interviews.

If you wanted to make a few bucks... do some simple disaster recovery work... make sure they are at least doing on-server backups -- at minimum. Make sure they have rudimentary security... Fail2Ban is easy to setup. Most SMBs do very little for web security, and haven't really thought ahead to what happens when the shit hits the fan (and it wouldn't raise any red flags for them to hire a bright college kid to do this sort of work). If they see a website come up when they click on a link, they think, "Hooray it works, and it'll work forever!"

If you wanted another up-sell option... offer a cheap monthly retainer to do uptime / content monitoring, application performance monitoring, server health monitoring, and access log monitoring. If you just want experience, set the price low... you can always up the price as you get more experience / more practice with these tools and automating the setup for them. Or offer to help them with general IT (this is a black hole time sink, but cool if you need beer money). Or offer to show them how password managers work. Or setup backup systems for their computers (Backblaze is great). Or... once you get a foot in the door you'll see more opportunities.

If a college kid came to me with hands-on experience completing a valuable task for 10-25 real-world businesses... I'd be really impressed.

EDIT: The above is pretty much how I paid for college. Graduated form an Ivy League school, paid every cent of it myself (no loans or financial aid), ended up with over $100k in the bank more than when I started. Got into business doing email migrations for a hospital chain, got my foot in the door with a lot of doctor's offices, grew that business from there to general IT, basic HIPAA compliance, website development, a bunch of just random "tech services" -- lots of great hands-on-training for me along the way.

My experience with WordPress SQLite
I dropped out of a CS program because frankly, I was writing useless code for one-off assignments and solving problems that had last baffled me in high school. I remember spending my days solving tremendously boring problems, then running home to quickly remind myself that I actually enjoyed programming. I ended up moving over to business and then dropping out entirely when I started my first real company.

Years later, I went back to school and finished a degree in marketing. Oddly, I wrote way more useful code while I was studying business, and developed a tremendous sense of navigating client expectations versus technical limitations.

My background might influence my answer - I have had an interesting career despite (or perhaps because of) my marketing degree. I'm not convinced that I would have accomplished the same things with a CS degree. Accounting (my first business major) and marketing helped me look at technical projects in terms of market opportunity vs cost.

That said, I have missed out on things. When I work with young developers and the subject of Big O notation comes up, I am usually at a complete loss. I've also had to invest quite a bit of time reading large, well maintained open source projects. I simply don't have much formal training in algorithms or design patterns and so it's nice seeing them implemented in projects that I use.

Also, I occasionally wonder about things like the strength of my network. Maybe a CS degree would have given me the chance to meet a few more people who could help me in my career. It seems like the vast majority of the people I graduated from business with work for banks. I can think of a dozen ways I'd rather torture myself than working in a bank...:)

Sorry. Should have clarified. They could get pen testers and it would cost as much as they paid so far.

Managing a pen test or a bounty program are very different things. I don't think that they planned to spend $300k in exploits when they first rolled out the bounties.

A company serious about security should have both anyway: Security audits + bounty programs. They fundamentally cover different things, with some overlap.

It's funny, things like this remind me how much we overrate certain kinds of expertise and underrate others.

Those smiths will probably make a fraction of what the average software developer will and hopefully they won't die an early death due to some kind of industrial accident. This video might literally be the only mark that one of them leaves on history.

The intelligence and skill it takes to do it though is astounding. These guys might not be even able to read (this is not an assumption, just a possibility), but they can do this as well as anyone on the planet. It's a real monument to human ingenuity.

Meanwhile, his well-educated counterpart in the West can't stop getting job offers because they've figured out how to twiddle some bits. If they're lucky, they might even be able to make something worth hundreds of thousands, or millions, or even billions, and then people will assume that they know what they are doing and that their opinions matter.

But at the end of the day...there's very little difference between them. We're just really smart creatures.
There is no right to copyright; in fact Congress could abolish copyrights altogether tomorrow if it wished. Rather, there is an enumerated power for Congress to create copyright. If one could prove that a certain aspect or application of copyright law falls outside of that enumerated power, then it would be void as Congress had no power to create it in the first place.
> "Two different versions of a package cannot be installed simultaneously."

It seems that the problem then might not even have a solution in all cases. So perhaps we should rethink the problem.
Your proposal only works if you don't need ABI-compatibility, especially relevant if the build process needs to be parallelizable.

It all depends on what sense you provide to the terms: "minor version" and how you expect your software to be built.
Blue collar jobs pay reasonably well after a few years. You might have to work pretty hard and hustle to move up the food chain. Trades gigs can be "nice house and a boat" levels of lucrative.

This is exactly why I think those football programs should be professionalized. The program should be licensed by the school - logos and all - but completely financially independent. Obviously, the money says otherwise ( football donors are a very significant stream of income ). And you'd quickly develop a "New York Yankees' problem - wealthy programs would have more money.

I have a Son In Law Candidate who is physically arranged like a left offensive tackle. Even in high school, the six hour practices put him off it.

Part of me says that "the love of the game" should be encouraged, but as you note... the costs are substantial. And I think the real money in sports is trading on the player's name, anyway.

I find measures of ground movement good for visualising what happened and how violent it must have been. Not that this is helpful sometimes with silent quakes generating a fair amount to movement (via GPS measure) in New Zealand lately. The recent 7.8 caused up to 10m of fault slip and 5.5m of uplift. The changes are truely colossal.

Sure, but just like the mentioned BIOS password, they are hardware, they reside outside the software and/or Operating System "security model".
A (theoretical) BeOS (which as qubex noted has no authentication/login/password) install on a TPM/FDE hardware would be as safe (locally) as any Linux/NT/Whatever install.
Same applies to mobile OS, which are typically "single user", one could delegate security to the hardware and get rid of the complications of the "multi-user OS" underlying base.
Classy governments do this slowly over a long period of time.
>For someone learning Arabic the letters are the first of many challenging steps.

Exactly, for most other languages as well. I only needed flashcards with Hebrew (as an Arabic speaker, I only needed to remember shapes because sounds are similar). To learn Cyrillic was more figuring out what changes and connecting it to Greek alphabet (р is rho, г is gamma, д is delta, п is pi, etc).

Transliteration for most languages is just another layer of complexity in my opinion given the tiny amount of time I needed to acquire alphabet (the letters, not Google's parent company).

Here's something I started. Need to get back to that:

You're not addressing my point. You're kinda just reinforcing the idea that "You don't have to work there" is ok to tell, say, Uber drivers, but not ok to tell you regarding a company having a union.

Modelling is an interesting thing. Our math is such an elegant language that it can describe such amazingly rich abstractions. On one hand, we have category theorists and computer scientists working on the more familiar modelling of computational patterns. On the other, we have physicists coming up with all kinds of equally curious patterns in particle fields. It seems many of the patterns are just abstract nonsense but there are too many coincidences to ignore. To me this hints of some underlying structure that we are completely blind to still. Oh, how i wish to study math from the future.
Honestly, I didn't see a lot of wasted time in that - the individual moves were happening as quickly as the hammer could go up and come back down; only the gross moves to change out tools or go back to the forge seemed less than optimal.

I've been using Microsoft's free anti-virus products on my Windows machines since Microsoft first started offering them. Third party anti-virus shares many of the features of malware: difficult to remove; runs at root level; user tracking; self-updating; and in subscription versions comes with the proposition of pay up or we will make your computer vulnerable.

On the other hand, Microsoft's interests are less misaligned with mine. They want to keep Windows secure as do I. Around the edges of tracking and telemetry, we may disagree. Anyway, my life became much simpler when I adopted Microsoft's solution for my Windows boxes.

I don't have any specific critisism of Rosling (He seems very capable in a lot of ways). I think the part that many people find problematic is that he doesnt just present himself as a scientist but as someone who can interpret the data. And not just a normal interpreter but someone who has insights that almost nobody else has. You can argue wether this is true, but the fact is that this gives him an insane amount of credibility, and a kind of power that a non-expert should maybe use a little more sparingly.
That's interesting to hear, because I've been using a Surface Pro for the last year and never had a similar issue. OneNote (when I use it) has generally been pretty solid sans some weird account issues that didn't take long to solve. I'd never give up my full computer for a tablet to do actual work. It has the flexibility that I can use all the normal dev tools, and then switch over to Gamemaker, etc. I honestly think using an iPad for real development is basically limited to web stuff, because you can't access Xcode to make an iOS app, or Qt for a desktop application, or even Gamemaker/unity for games. It's a "limited" tool. Don't let that single crash taint the surface line of products, because they are solid. A friend even decided to get one over Black Friday and is loving being able to write code again, as his desktop is hooked into a tv for games/entertainment.
It would make sense to leave some time for the documentation to stabilize and usage to spread a little before pushing hard in that direction I think.

Yes this proposal is for "functional" languages (where libraries provide functions, and records). JavaScript is a good fit here. When you need "identical" objects across different dependencies, the idea is to specify it as such (npm has a notion of a "peerDependency" <-- this is not a black box object but the requirement that this "exist"). Plugins are a good example of this. If you are building a React plugin, you don't want to require your own React (and then hope the build system dedupes it!), instead you state "I can build when React at this version is present". Once you have this explicit requirement, it is much easier to reason about the (few) "shared" objects. Here most users would raise an eyebrow that for some reason the "resolved" React is a very low version for example.
BeOS and Haiku are fun and fast hobby toy OS'es however do not expect to do any heavy duty work under them. Back in the day BeOS would play games plus opening a bunch of videos and mp3s at the same time and have them run smooth, but it would also grind to a halt doing any networking activity outside of web browsing, printing, running Mozilla or using its native Office Suite GoBe Office or Abiword.

The shine came off BeOS around around 1999/2000 when Windows 2000 and Mac OS X came out along with Linux and FreeBSD were much better OS'es for getting real work done with better networking and better heavy load tolerance. And you could do BeOS tricks on top of that on those OS'es.

On top of that the Amiga OS was doing what BeOS was famous for years before just without memory protection slower hardware.
The same way he did Python, in a console. The only languages which may be a challenge to program in that fashion would be Swift, Objective C, and C# - because they are so tied to MacOS and Windows respectively.

A well set up Vim or Emacs is perfectly capable of writing Node.js, Java, C (side note - hilarious that you tried to use this as an example, given that C and C++ are probably written by a majority of developers in the console) and Go.
