A mod should perhaps retitle this. It's an insider's look at Valve's Linux effort. The title is correct, but not great out of context.

https://github.com/aarongustafson/jekyll-crosspost-to-medium is a fair option if you have a Jekyll blog. Many static site generators include an idea of "publishing targets", and often include an easy way of making plugins.
It has weird stuff because Medium clearly hired "editors" who are all politically extreme and/or culturally homogenous.

My medium.com home page has some technical articles that interest me, an article by some Obama press flunky, and then "We should be meaner to racists", apparently because the editors recommended it.

Did I ask for a mediocre but otherwise acceptable list of technical articles to be gunked up by college student identity politics? No? Then why do the remaining 100 medium.com staffers think this is a good idea? Is that what they're getting paid to do? Why can they not be replaced entirely by an algorithm?
Cargo doesn't recompile all crates on each iteration, you are missing something definitely. It only recompiles changed code. Or if rustc/cargo version has been changed.

"a bit of catch up" is one thing, not mentioning most powerful IDE plugin is another.
Hasbolt: The New Haskell Neo4j Bolt Driver
I'd have thought AVR assembler was a better choice these days - a nice orthogonal 8-bit RISC architecture, and you can use gcc, gas etc. (as well as being able to run your code on an Arduino).
Maybe I'm just negligent, but I do have a remote server I spent a full week configuring (web, and mail, just for me, from ssh). I'm no sysadmin, I expect a good one would have needed no more than a couple hours. But I haven't touched it in months. It just works. (Or not. Lack of updates may have lead to vulnerabilities.)

At this point I doubt we mean the same thing by "administration". To me, it means updating the system, fixing what doesn't work, and installing new programs. Spending en entire hour per day just for this sounds insane. Perhaps you had other tasks in mind?

Also bear in mind that I'm currently using a "long term support" release of Ubuntu, on hardware I knew would be well supported (I've read a couple reviews). It's not Arch on a random laptop.

If you don't mind all "" in your code blocks getting turned into unicode open/close quotes, and the lack of a markdown editor, then sure. Tab also doesn't indent. You can't use `code tags` for variables. Pre tags (code blocks) create a new paragraph instead of a line break (<br>). So basically not a programming blog. You can create a gist and paste the link, but that's a terrible workaround.
Can you please expand on this a bit? Your comment is very vague.

The comparison with Ruby here doesn't make much sense because private means different things in both languages and Elixir does not have inheritance.
I don't know are they really scum, but also for me the platform is mostly clueless headhunter bots offering Ruby positions even without reading my CV. Ok, I know it's nice that we have headhunters banging our doors, but when you like to do things properly yourself, you kind of expect the same from the headhunters.

P.S. I never took any jobs from that platform.

Argo is a deeply troubling film. From the one-dimensionality of the Iranians to the complete lack of historical context ignoring prior US meddling and interfering in internal Iranian affairs[1]. The involvement of the CIA in the production[2]. The historical inaccuracies of the film[3]. The timing of the release of the film given Iranian-Western relations over its nuclear program.

For me Argo is basically unwatchable US patriotic screen-fodder bordering on propaganda.

As play gets closer to optimal it gets more and more difficult to play more efficiently than your opponent. To play so much more efficiently than your opponent to overcome a handicap of 6 stones strikes me as extremely unlikely at pro level.

At amateur level, say a 2d vs a 2k player would perhaps have a 99.9% winrate. To make it an even game, would take 4 handicap stones. But at pro level, I think it's possible for player A to have a 99.9% winrate against player B, but on two handicap stones, for player B to be the favorite.

Even an engine that is enormously successful against top human players would struggle at high handicaps vs them.

I'm satisfied with Dropbox, because it does what it advertises: it syncs files between computers without getting in the way. I would be very worried if it weren't stagnant in terms of functionality, because change for change's sake is the path to bloated crapware.

If you want your photos on all devices, Dropbox does this for you. If you want software to look at the photos that is a different task and should be accomplished by a different piece of software.
I find the description of the project pretty weird. It uses security related terms (DMZ) that you find mostly in corporate architectures, but doesn't provide any description of what makes this websocket implementation adapted to this use case. It also doesn't provide any kind of benchmark.

It looks like someone from a consulting company created an open source project based on what he's done for a customer.
I would self host. Maybe crosspost to Medium as others have suggested here. Alternatively I do think github pages like has been mentioned is good if you do not want to set up your own blog (even though it really is not that hard).

The reason I would not just post on Medium is simply because you are depend on them. What if Medium at some point shuts down, you lose all your content.

This is such a good response, it's something I've thought about so much lately, especially with all this talk of human replacement due to robots etc. I sometimes wonder if modern societies feel superior to others because of technology and scientific studies. Like the more of it we have the happier we will be.

That's a brilliant article.
I use dropbox with Zotero almost every day. You can get them to play together relatively easily, using Dropbox for syncing pdfs, and your Zotero account for syncing the references. This was my initial motivation for using Zotero, as other reference managers, such as Mendeley, which made not using Mendeley's storage very difficult.

It is very convenient to be able to add references at work, then come home to find it all up to date on my home PC.

Dropbox integration with the camera on my phone is something I also use a lot. Take a photo of something in the lab, it is waiting for me on my PC by the time I am back at my desk.

The only thing that I really find lacking is a linux armhf cli client...

To be fair, Go is also a much smaller language, which hasn't gone through the process of collecting and shedding multiple layers of legacy, and exposes far fewer implementation details.

Sometimes even when you can, you shouldn't. Any reasonably-sized organisation will have churn; new developers will have to ramp-up and it will take longer to do so on a hand-coded framework with all it's idiosyncrasies. I'll take Ember over Random Jim's framework, even though he is technically brilliant.

I usually buy Battlefield (X), play it exclusively with friends in a squad, repeat that for ~30 hours, then put it down when you've done everything in it. Which I'm content with, but it's nothing more.

Going by yours and your child-comment, I'll have to look into Rimworld. I steered clear from Dwarf Fortress after trying it for an hour, because of the daunting learning curve. And funny enough I've bought and played Prison Architect too, but didn't find it very fun after a couple of hours.

Thanks for the tip!

My questions is if anyone predicted what we're discussing in 2017, back in say 2000.

Or, was everyone on the " information superhighway" bandwagon?

PostgreSQL’s Popularity Goes Up Again
On a related note, I recently discovered WoX [1] and I'm pretty happy with it. I think it is an even more convenient launcher: Alt+Space from anywhere, type cmd, ENTER.

With a couple plugins you can type things like "win <TAB>" to select from a list of open windows, "g search-term" to google a term, etc.

I don't have a clear timeline on that. A few months I guess.

I agree that it will be very, very difficult for Dropbox to become a collaborative platform.

They wanted to become a platform for photos earlier (with Carousel), but that failed.
This probably makes sense in Japan more than anywhere else.

There's an active market for small numbers of near perfect fruit attractively packaged and sold for use as gifts.

$5 is still on the high-side. But a pack of perhaps 8 fruit for 30USD is pretty normal. You'd actually find that in a lot of supermarkets in Tokyo and beyond, not just very high end places.
Thanks for the pic. I had a 16K expansion pack for my ZX81, but it was third party, so a little cheaper than the official Sinclair product. Perhaps 30GBP rather than 50? I remember there being much chat at the time about the dreaded "RAM pack wobble". The ZX81 keyboard claimed to be touch sensitive, but was really thump sensitive! This could easily jiggle the bus connection from the motherboard to the RAM pack, causing the ZX to crash, possibly losing hours of work before it could be saved to tape. For me the solution was yet another third party peripheral: a real keyboard.
It can be in extreme cases, and in these situations it's better for both parties to resolve things quickly.

Adding secure client side encryption would quite much limit any new services they could add. No indexing on server side, no web based document editing. Deduplication would become either impossible or much more difficult. This might also cause problems on the user experience side, for example password resets would not work - if you forget password, data is gone for ever. Organizational accounts and file sharing would be harder to implement. In order to really prevent snooping, they would also have to take away the pretty well working auto update system (otherwise they could just push an update that sends your password to them).

I think this is just a business decision. Dropbox does not want to be the simple bit-pipe that is used to sync stuff between your computers. They want to provide more advanced services, because they believe that is where the money is.

What if the stopped thread was holding a mutex? The thread handling the signalfd can only safely call async signal safe functions, exactly like a signal handler.

edit: technically of course full reentrancy (implied by async signal safety) is not strictly required, "only" a fully non-blocking implementation of every function called by the signalfd thread.

One idea I had was to be able to see who downvoted a post and be able to list of the last 50 or so posts a particular user has downvoted. Thus would hopefully shame users who downvote for reasons other then to keep the conversation constructive.

You could even allow downvoting of the downvote, so users could lose karma for downloading an insightful post that they simply disagreed with.

Of course, if you allowed downvoting the downvote of a downvote, and so on recursively, you could have downvote wars between two users, where they both drain each other's karma down to zero. I don't see much problem with this, because anyone willing to participate in such a battle seems childish enough that they deserve what they get.
Oh the nostalgia! This is awesome! And it's the only assembly language I ever learned, as a kid (of course) on an Apple //e in a mostly-unsupervised "computers" class.

I think its fair to say there is still value in extending the state of the art in graph partitioning algorithms.

There are two assumptions implicit in your statement. First, that you have hardware available with large amounts of RAM (32GB would not be enough for many of the graphs I work with, though in fairness 128GB+ almost always would be). Second, you assume that RAM is the graph application's only bound (rather than CPU, network, etc...).

I'm not personally convinced that either assumption is sound (but then, as a PhD student nearing the end of his thesis investigating graph partitioning ... check my bias :-) ).
