Yes indeed, that's what I noticed too and if I can do it with existing sources, just presenting them in a cleaner way that's definitely what I will do. I don't want to re-invent the wheel, just do as much as I can to make the information available.

About the routing part other people mentioned https://atlas.ripe.net/ which seems to be doing a very good job at that thanks to their 4000 probes distributed across the world, If I can use their data it'll already solve a good part of the equation.

How to create a spec for destructuring (Clojure)
I'm also a fan of Linux Mint, but prefer the KDE edition - I used to dislike KDE, but with plasma 5.6+ it's become quite polished and nice to use. I've also found LM to be much more stable than other KDE based desktop distro's, specifically KUbuntu and Neon (both of which were quite crashy).
As far as I know a matrix organization normally means a two dimensional one, with two bosses. You're totally right that all those functions exist and influence your work, but I don't think it is normal to call them bosses.
Back in 2013 some LG TVs were caught scanning users' networks and connected drives.[1]

At the time I think LG said that this was a mistake. Even taking that in good faith I would still be wary of connecting any LG consumer appliance to my own home network.

Depends on your monitor, if you decide on 144fps/hz, that can take a serious chunk out of your CPU. Lets say a game runs easy at 75FPS on the cpu, and lets assume it's 60% used. If you want to crank out 144fps, you have a problem. i7 6700K might be enough though, nut sure on the absolute required specs.

You are not necessarily in disagreement with IslaDeEncanta, as they said "lower middle class", not "low-income". What exactly constitutes "middle class", and even "lower middle class" is not clear. But, I think, most would agree "low income" means not middle class, so you're probably talking about different sets of people.

"Authors of graphviz" doesn't really map well to "Open source software authors". Which is petty, picking-on-illogic type of criticism.

graphviz wasn't originally open source - it came from AT&T Research in the 90s, didn't it? AT&T kind of open-sourced it in the early 2000s. I personally have used it a lot over the years because there's nothing else like it, as near as I can tell. If you want to draw a nodes-and-edges type graph, it works well.

Also, there's that annoying tools-vs-appliances dichotomy. Tools are general purpose, and don't often come with very specific "do exactly my thing" features. Think of drill presses, or radial saws or even screwdrivers. Then think about appliance-type tools, Radio Shack metal detectors, maybe. Some people need tools, others need appliances. Some people need minivans, others need pickups. Why try to force an appliance mindset on a tool?
The only time I used it was when my dog puked and I use the last of the carpet cleaner as I was cleaning. I didn't want to forget.

You can use any part of C++ without having to use the rest of it. For example, you don't have to write your own std::allocator to use std::vector, nor do you have to use exceptions.

You can use which bits of C++ that you want - that's its great strength, permitting low-level behaviour whilst supporting high level abstractions (and as simple or as complex as you like).
This just isn't true. Upping the resolution doesn't make the game more CPU intensive by much. Upping the resolution pushes the GPU.
Report on the existence of a global system for the interception of private and commercial communications (ECHELON interception system) (2001/2098(INI)).

"The existence of a global system for intercepting private and commercial communications (the ECHELON interception system)

A. whereas the existence of a global system for intercepting communications, operating by means of cooperation proportionate to their capabilities among the USA, the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand under the UKUSA Agreement, is no longer in doubt; whereas it seems likely, in view of the evidence and the consistent pattern of statements from a very wide range of individuals and organisations, including American sources, that its name is in fact ECHELON, although this is a relatively minor detail."

> It makes me (a Linux user) think that Windows-ecosystem people feel entitled to a port of all software, "because Windows".

Actually it's quite the contrary, when you maintain a Windows-only piece of software you get constantly bugged by the few dozen Linux / OS X users.

I mean, your OS selection happened because "the many benefits your favorite OS brings you over Windows are way more important than not having software".

If you really want to run Windows software, why not install Wine, VirtualBox, or... Windows?

I agree, but you would graduate with a better network, better branding, and possibly better skills from the top tier school, all of which have very real impact on the job market.
Even if they will do as well in either and achieve the same learning outcomes, having a top-ranked school on your resume has value as a signal. And the alumni network has value as well.
Hence my qualification. There are definitely places where the price isn't worth it yet. The world is not economically homogenous.
They actually explained mid-season that building a host was a huge upfront cost. That's why they prefer to reset and repair them than bricking them.
The top-ranked institutions and "second-tier" schools charge about the same tuition but often have more generous financial aid so it can be cheaper to attend. Even if the sticker price would be the same for you, value of your degree is partially based on the reputation of the school so the top-ranked institution's degree is worth more.
Multiplexers may have some control key quirks but they seem to be essential for any workflow that involves a remote machine or VM. I can have the same workflow everywhere with tmux, local and remote. Though nesting tmux sessions is annoying and can be more convenient to have a remote session in its own terminal window.

Just to help with feedback, I'm one of those who retired before 30s. Not rich but enough savings to live on a (humble) tropical island until old age.

I wasn't able to stop. Applied my savings in day trading, everything went well until 2009 happened and most of it washed away. Applied what remained on the tuition of a top university to up my academic credentials and then went on try other tech industries (e.g. aerospace). Today have a small startup (Europe). Life is hard (empty bank account at the end of the month) but the plus side is that your brain keeps active.

If you really like writing technology, in my opinion it gets difficult to stop doing what you naturally enjoy doing.
Good students from poor backgrounds have a better grasp of many social problems than people without experience of them, and are thus in a position to make a significantly greater economic contribution, to the benefit of all including the university. The university is an organ of society, not an end in itself.

Have you seen any disembodied brains running things? No, the brain only exists within the whole body and the health of the body is tightly correlated with the health of the brain. The social body is a holographic reflection of the individual body.

In addition to the simple fact that advertising is down, it's because newspapers were/are bundles. When they had local monopolies (or at least duopolies) on information and certain advertising, this let them do things like fill a lot of cheap column inches with sports scores and wire copy while maintaining (in many cases) prestige investigative units and foreign bureaus. These never came close to paying for themselves in the sense that subscribers would pay for them as standalone writing. But they lent gravitas to the paper as a whole, helping to make the paper as a whole a moneymaking proposition.

I'm not sure if you mean "given a database of a lot of people's real credit card numbers, figure out which person made a transaction" (to defeat privacy protections), or "given only the last four digit, predict an entire credit card number with no other information" (to defeat anti-fraud protections).

I think the first case is possible because people's purchases tend to be extremely different, while the second case is not possible because the last digits of the card are generated at random. While there is a checksum in use

that only rules out 9/10 of the possibility space, and the remaining 1/10 is still extremely large.

As for systemd - it is the sole reason I haven't upgraded from Debian Wheezy yet and I am seriously considering switching to Gentoo too. And before somebody asks, yes, I have installed systems based on systemd (Ubuntu mostly) and I appreciate that it simplified boot process. But I have a very strong opinion about bundling all services under one roof with no alternatives. No thank you. If I wanted that I would use Windows or MacOS. </rant>

I don't consider win10 telemetry that bad. You can dial it down a lot until it's just sending crash data when thing go bad. Pretty much all OSes have this.

NixOS has my vote.

On the first ~CON:
If the "end user" is a developer that is new to nix and nix expressions, the transparency of nixpkgs and its nix expressions may turn tweaking from a problem into an opportunity. Seeing the details of builds, configs, and installs clearly laid out in a nix expression taught me more about the package that I was blindly depending on. Having the same tools (nix, nix-repl, nix-shell, *.nix) available across projects and vertically within developments has reduced the "special knowledge" that "end users" need to know for both development and operations.

Extra PRO:
Have the expression for your configuration just perfect? Need to build on multiple VMs, machines, EC2? Simply add an expression for networking and deploy with Nixops https://nixos.org/nixops/. Now logical and physical configuration is a declarative data file. If a build fails, I check the source. If my cloud fails, I check the source.

For me, the reproducibility and variable independence in NixOS puts the SCIENCE in Computer Science.

Its very convenient for them to use backward compatibility as an excuse. but in reality its simply not true. they can implement the change totally transparent to the user. have seen people do crazy things with dropbox integration in on 2 day hackathan's. in this case of moving the storage to app folder, shouldn't take more than coupe of weeks for an junior engineer. only things is whether you are willing to do it nor not. Apparently agile bits are not willing to do. (who would't like to access entire dropbox folder of the users ;) )

Keep in mind that, since dropbox did not have app folder concept initially, many companies used to have access to entire dropbox then moved to app folder model later. they did not break backward compatibility and they didn't make the excuses.
Which one? An essentially unsupported Linux distribution? Canonical does telemetry as well. Apple has been doing this for years an yet we still don't sweat wrathful spate of headlines over it.

Oh and by the way, the logfiles from most package servers provide an accurate description of what you're doing with your machine and a weak concept of identity. So you'll need to avoid those.

Browsers keep updating and the vast majority of websites collect telemetry as well. So no more internet.

But yeah, the OS app level telemetry seems like a pretty big deal and we should stress out about it.

And they wonder why people are starting to question the narratives they're given. I consider myself a liberal, but the mainstream media really is terrible a lot of the time. When talking about science, they only misconstrue the message, and when talking about policy, they happily forward whatever the government is saying.

You have already made it clear that you think his argument is undeniable. But since you insist on trolling, let me start with the obvious one.

In order to simulate a human brain, you need to simulate physics. Not a mathematical model of physics, but the actual true process that governs nature. In order to do that, you need to (1) understand the true laws of physics and (2) the process needs to be simulatable in polynomial time (at the very least). Where in the essay does he give you a convincing argument that these are true? Or is it just the lack of impossibility enough to convince you that they are possible?
"Everything just works" so long as your expectations around "everything" are essentially set by a desktop computer experience designed in 2005.

Linux on desktops is fine (except from a physical security standpoint), but primitive in terms of UX. And it's still dependent on Mozilla or Google for its browsing experience.

And if you want a portable computer (which by the way are demonstrably more secure in the face of physical tampering) you basically relegate yourself to terrible battery life, poor display support, dicey sleep support, and the fixes for these often compromise performance.

I really wish Linux users would stop softballing their desktop vendors and kernel maintainers so much. It's just not competitive!

In this context, going to 1080p means lowering the resolution, allowing to use more money for the processor exactly because it means pushing the gpu less.
