On Death and Taxes; Some Digital Tools to Make End-Of-Life Easier
Excellent examples. I can't imagine an AI ever picking up on conversations between my wife and I.

Me: Honey, can you grab me the thing on that thing.

Her: Oh, this thing?

Me: The other thing... Perfect, thanks!
Do you think getting an MBA would be a fun, enriching experience? This is the more important question, imho. Life is not all about your career.
Relativistic morality? (Its ok to kill this race because we are better than them)

Nitpick, but this isn't what relativistic morality means; it means that there's no One True morality. Racial supremacism doesn't really have anything to do with it.
That's hilarious, especially when she said it again in kilograms.
I would say more like Top 10.
Well, I'd argue that Internet browsing with 2GB is only suitable for reading news and email. This then is a common denominator for layman user, who then wouldn't be using Linux or Pi to begin with. However, this thread is not about Chromebook (and I agree with you there about Chromebook - my wife uses it for email/youtube browsing, and it works perfectly fine).

There's a big difference between Chromebook and Linux/Pi/etc world of hardware/software experience for any person. You can throw a Chromebook to anyone and you wouldn't have to care about it. But try imagining the idea of giving Linux type OS to anyone...we know what happens next.

This is one reason why tablets (particularly starting with iPad) became popular among average crowd.
I've used to work with a team that used HandBrake for transcoding - from what one of the developers told me HandBrake handles weird video formats better. Some of the videos would have troubles with ffmpeg which would produce "broken" transcoded videos, videos without audio and some other issues that I don't remember now.

Myself personally, I feel quite comfortable with ffmpeg and I never had any problems with it so whenever I can I use it.
It is a side effect we ought to one day be able to look back on and think it was still the dark ages of psychiatric medicine.
An iPad can't play regular MP4/H264 videos by default?
2 GB of RAM and a swap is capable of running even ubuntu x64 comfortably. Take away swap and browsing becomes a problem, I wouldn't suggest SSD because of that.
There do seem to be some very complex use cases. On the other hand, their example of parallel gzip of files seems straightforward:

find . -name '*.html' | parallel gzip --best

Generally, using it in places where you would normally use xargs seems uncomplicated.

The World of Fake Vacation Destinations
The true dilemmas of life, ethical or otherwise, can't be expressed as inductive or deductive arguments. At best, you can put together an abductive argument that ends up looking like a pros and cons list - and even still it's a judgement call, and not one that's readily communicable to contemporaries or posterity.

Buddha, Jesus, Plato/Socrates, Swift, Nietzsche - seriously, if you throw a dart at a random distribution of centuries, the greatest moral thinker from that century used fictional constructs of some kind to illustrate their point. The 21st century is not going to be any different.

But there's an even bigger problem here that borders on illiteracy. Believing that ideas fleshed out in fiction serve no practical purpose completely ignores the history of all ideas, not just moral ones. Great fiction thinks.

If you want to learn about love, read Shakespeare. Texts on the mating habits of higher primates are not going to help your romantic life. If you want to learn about friendship, The Lord of the Rings is going to offer better advice than anything Freud wrote. If you want to learn about government, Homer or Jonathan Swift can teach you more about the machinations of power than Machiavelli or John Locke.

I believe the reason is that fiction speaks to the whole mind, not just the part of the brain that parses language and performs algebra.
Wow, I used to use this many years ago when ripping DVDs was a thing and also for the occasional transcode to mkv. I had no idea it was still in development. I'll have to check it out again.
W10 lets you flag a wifi network as metered so that it knows not to transfer as much over it. Seems OS X could do with the same- or is there perhaps some non-obvious setting already perhaps?
You could use youtube-dl and request the content in an iPad compatible format. It would save you the waiting time for the transcoding
As always gets brought up when GNU parallel is mentioned: xargs does most of the use cases you'd need for parallel.

xargs -n1 -P4

Would be at most one arg from the arg list run with 4 jobs.

You develop and test as fast as you have time to.

HandBrake probably does not bring money to its developers, so the pace is inherently limited.

As I have been involved with OpenWRT/LEDE and how they make builds to different devices recently, I realized that making unified builds are actually possible. OpenWRT has the same kernel and root image for many different devices that use the same SoC. So once you have OpenWRT flashed on, the content of every OpenWRT update (for every device of the same SOC) is by and large the same. The only check in place is the artificial model check to make sure you don't unintentionally flash the wrong image.

Android can technically do like OpenWRT does, but there is much more stuff involved in the Android world so making a universal build is harder. However, I personally can't think of a hard, technical barrier. New ideas for unifying devices and separating blobs such as device tree or separate vendor partition is getting traction and makers such as Sony are embracing it. Many Sony devices boot the same kernel, and that's why you consistently seeing Sony devices getting support and builds very early on from projects like CM.

BTW, I have been trying to write an answer to you by saying a slightly different version of what dispose54312 said, but then realized it didn't make sense. I came to the conclusion (for myself) this is mostly "how it is done currently for Android." So I hope my unpopular answer is not crazily misguided, and please take my perspective with a grain of salt.

I recently downloaded 'Operating systems 3 easy pieces' by Andrea and Remzi. The book contains some simulator problems which require us to run some python program and understand the output. I couldn't find the code anywhere in the book supposedly it was provided in some media along with the hard copy. Anybody knows where can I find the code for these simulators?

Handbrake offers you literally a GUI over ffmpeg. And sane defaults, setting ffmpeg gets overwhelming fast.

And also some nice queue management, a bit better than what you'd get from shell scripting.

The downside is that it's a GUI.

I have a small cluster of machines that I run experiments on. GNU parallel makes the dispatch of jobs on remote machines very easy.

In addition, I often use it to search for sequences by running grep in parallel. For example

Where {1} is a single line in many_needles.txt

It can, but you can optimize the encoding so that the iPad needs to do less work playing the video.
This is a false dilemma. It's not this XOR that. You will definitely use different tools. This is practically an unavoidable true fact, or a false one that is not practically avoidable.

People don't learn to use a screwdriver to the exception of wrenches; soldiers don't learn to use pistols to the exception of rifles; surgeons don't learn to use scalpels to the exception of forceps. It's not realistic, so using one will not seal your fate.

I think the reason it may be causing you trouble is that you think learning these tools is hard which makes you think you have to manage resources and make tradeoffs. It's hard to study Engineering and Medicine because the time commitment and effort for each almost make them mutually exclusive simultaneously, and rarely done sequentially.

The good news is that learning CLI/IDE is not hard. The fact it's not hard is also the bad news, because the hardest is yet to come. This is similar to a person finding learning the alphabet of a language hard when it's just the apéritif.

The reality is that you can learn about 80% of what you will be doing in the CLI in less than an hour. The remaining 20% will take you 40 years or something (well, you find people on Stack Overflow who know so much about these editors and tools, that the only technical question your ask yourself is which one they've used to draft the contract with the Devil).

As in most things, few things are used the most. The number of words you know is the millions; the number of words you actively use is more in the tens of thousands. The number of biomechanically possible movements is important, the number of movements we end up doing daily is less impressive.

My point is: neither constitutes that big of an investment, and you will end up using different ones anyway, so don't worry about it. I wouldn't hold my breath if you were to look for someone who's used a tool exclusively.

> And, of course, the infamous "programming by poking" metaphor from Sussman: "You grab this piece of library and you poke at it. You write programs that poke it and see what it does. And you say, 'Can I tweak it to do the thing I want?'" In other words, programming by hermeneutics.

I'm afraid that this is sometimes the excuse for not documenting software -- sort of a, "Hey, here it is, just poke at it, you'll figure it out!" kind of attitude. Eat your veggies, rotate your tires, document your code.
My relatively non-formally informed opinion is that one property that seems to correlate with real time is:

R ≤ S

Where R is the maximum time it takes to return a useful result and S is the maximum sample rate. Anything else suggests that results queue up and hence the time to return a result varies.
I think "corrected" is quite strong :)
GNU Parallel sucks. Use xargs when possible and paexec when needing fancy features. BTW, paexec even supports piping next to process invocation.
I'm a huge fan of HandBrake and excited to see them still improving the application. The last time I used a DVD ripper was >5 years ago but it was an essential tool for me earlier in life. I'm happy to see I will still have it available should I need to use it.

Why transcode just to package media into an mkv container? Mkv is pretty much codec agnostic, you could probably just steam copy. You'll save a lot of time and audio-visual quality by doing so.
Use uBlock Origin. Works fine here. Not sure what you are using.
If the premise of the defense shield is that it can dissipate a certain amount of energy by distributing the energy across its whole, why doesn't throwing more explosives makes sense? Presumably the people doing weapons design in this fantasy setting have at least as much sense as we do now. This means a ship colliding holding weapons are unlikely to detonate completely (not armed) and thus not deal a ton of damage.

This movie is set in a universe where less than 20 years ago, fully automated machines nearly destroyed those who remain. Both the complexity of a firing solution in space as well as explicit non-automation of some things rather easily suffice as reasons for a delay. This discounts surprise coupletely.

I don't know much about magic space lasers, but I'm also willing to suspend disbelief enough to allow they have a limited range of effectiveness.

The issues you bring up are not deficiencies with ffmpeg, but rather the user. One can prevent all of the issues you cited with the correct ffmpeg commands and an understanding of how media codecs and containers work.
I was shocked that the Empire's reaction to having their central secret military archive compromised was (spoiler ahead) to blow the whole base from space; more so when it is hinted that this was their only copy.

As I understand it, the problem was that the anode and cathode wound up touching, causing a short, causing heat, boom.

This was, in turn, caused by the manufacture of the case: they didn't leave enough (or any?) expansion room for the battery, and since when charged they heat up and expand, and there wasn't room to expand, boom.

So, probably, the batteries in question, if packaged properly, would have been fine.
As a recent beginner, I've found it incredibly hard to write something practical by putting a library into good use. If you want more that printing out Fibonnacci sequences, like printing out your own Twitter stream, like I have done, you better be ready for a lot of pain. The twitter module makes extensive usage of lens, wraps everything with conduit (at least within the examples). Conduit itself is exhaustively documented, as are lens, but you can't get started without a couple of external tutorials, since there is no practical description of the basic underlying concepts in the main documentation on hackage. And even then you don't know exactly how everything fits in, since all you get is for the most part what, but not how and especially why you should be using this what.

So my basic impression is: as soon as you know where the library fits in and how it works and even more importantly why it is doing things the way it does, you can get by just by using type signatures. But that knowledge is usually hidden behind a myriad of half-done blog posts and well-meant tutorials, which introduce you to the what but still assume a good deal of knowledge about why. And the rabbit hole gets larger with every dependency boiled onto your actual study target.

It's not by any means impossible to get in, but I think it could get a lot better. Just making a habit of merging tutorials and introductions into the module's documentation would be a great step forward. A mandatory ELI5 section might do wonders :)
HandBrake is one of those pieces of software that I've never even had to consider looking around to find something slightly better, it's always done what its supposed to with no fuss. A while back I wanted to rip a DVD my kids got so they could watch it on their tablets and downloading HandBrake was such a no brainer that I entirely forgot that I don't have an optical drive built into any of my computers anymore before installing it.

Java Memory Model Pragmatics (transcript)
Really? Being a Star Wars fan who was very impressed by VII, I was shocked to find out how astonishingly bad Rogue One was. Almost like abysmal Avengers (once again: long time Marvel fan), it tried to push in so many unsignificant and inconsequential plot details that the movie got cramped and boring at the same time. All different McGuffins, buttons and objectives of the final battle looked like a series of mindless quest objectives for a video game, while offering nothing in terms of actual character development.

IMO, it was not only the worst Star Wars movie so far, but one of the worst blockbuster movies ever made.
The ships impacting and exploding on the gate are effectively oversized kinetic missiles. There's no way the things they're shooting can even compare.

I wouldn't mind if they were shooting at the machinery controlling the gate/shield. But what was happening was clearly a case of 'we need to show the fighters trying to do something without actually having them try anything'.

It's basically Haskell code smell. Other languages we are used to do not allow exact precision when talking about input and output types, that's why we don't think about overly-generic function declarations as smelly, but they are.

I'm sure that correct ffmpeg commands for various containers would prevent issues, however HandBrake does that out of the box for all the formats that company was using with one command.
