Exactly.

It's a false dichotomy between "mathematics, unadorned" and "the history of math". Philosophy is an example of a subject at the other end of the spectrum, taught almost entirely through history, yielding a strangely disjointed and unstructured experience: "Plato thought we all live in a cave. Descartes thought he might be a brain in a vat. Sarte claimed God was dead. etc..." Meanwhile the student is wondering what on earth all these looney toons have to do with each other and why she should care, because the larger framework is neglected and discredited ideas aren't pruned.

I think the correct approach is to teach structure first, justification/usefulness second, and history a distant third - best reserved for explaining awkward but hard-to-change inconsistencies (such as the use of pi instead of tau as the circle constant). I would also submit that if the justification for some aspect of a subject is only historical, it should probably be dropped...

The perception that UG is just about recursion does not come only from Chomsky's critics. This article, which is a criticism of Everett by a linguist, makes a big deal of recursion and seems to be implying that UG takes a form that is practically un-falsifiable (it may just be a poor defense of the concept.)

If your effort to learn how systemd functions took you ten minutes it's unlikely you're involved enough in the internals of it to understand the debate.
My grandfather was a beneficiary of one of those early trials. After being shot down somewhere over Africa during WW2 he as treated with penicillin, had this have not happened then I would have never met him. I had to double-check the '75 years' to see if that was time accurate or the 'family tale' was wrong. Seems to add up.
It reminded me of Super Mario Sunshine, which is not a good thing.
systemd-networkd doesn't know about wpa_supplicant. You would start wpa_supplicant@wlan0.service and see wpa_supplicant errors there.

networkd only springs into action when wpa_supplicant succeeds in establishing the layer 2 connection and the interface becomes UP. I like the wpa_supplicant+networkd combo precisely because of this decoupling between network layers. One day, I'll get off my lazy ass and replace NetworkManager by wpa_supplicant+networkd on my notebook.
Hi,

We noticed that many Shopify store owners were having problems in Facebook share. To optimize how it looks when someone share your website, social meta tags of the website are required to change. However it may be hard for non-techie owners to change coding.

So we come up with a solution for all website owners. it can also be used by other users who want to set a custom title, description or image for a web page, not exclusive for Shopify.

Please feel free to leave your comments here. Just do NOT abuse the comment area by spamming, phishing or posting inappropriate content.

Thanks for trying Terminal App!

Battery life is inline with the K1 Shield tablet and its 5200mah battery.

You can see the internals of the K1 here: https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Nvidia+Shield+Tablet+Battery+Re...

The X1 Shield tablet's FCC filing show it also has a 5200mah battery so I'm guessing the layout is similar to the K1 and the Switch (the Switch filing just says the battery is non-removable).

Whatever the design, I hope it's better than Nintendo's previous handhelds which had a lot of blank circuit board where there could have been more battery volume:

Programs have features because they are useful. Some features may not fit your view of what the philosophy should dictate, and that's OK. Having a recursive ls doesn't bother me for example.

Fork-and-exec isn't complicated by threads. Only fork-and-keep-executing is.

UNIX doesn't have a naming convention using file extensions.

Some of your points are valid opinions that are shared by others, but I don't know how much they have to do with the UNIX philosophy.

Some APIs can be improved, sure. And some are being improved. It takes time because of unix's success and most systems' desire to remain backward compatible (especially in source form).
>> they want to interact with it, own physical objects, and curate their own collection of music.

> Some people want this.

Yep, thanks for making that point.

> Even in this... you are probably talking about a ridiculously small market.

A minority are physical collectors. I'm not sure how small or large it is though, but I'm sure its a minority. Owning a copy doesn't mean you own the music anyway.

Also of importance is that people who listen to music on the move (during sports or workout) really don't want to mix music.

Streaming audio is a compromise between full on DJing and listening to radio in the sense that the listener decides what he or she is going to listen to. So they may very well make their own playlists. But one can also pick a pre-made playlist which makes it more akin to FM radio (and you won't make your playlist during sports / workout either). The difference is the far more wide choice.
Because it's likely someone would have noticed if every AOSP phone called third party servers (or something like that). Plenty of people made Android derivatives, modded it, or just compiled it to toy with. Of course there's no guarantee without a full audit (and even with an audit, they might miss something), but I trust AOSP a lot more than a closed source app suite.
Incoming calls while gaming would suck, for a start.
One might then be wrong, if we are a bit more strict about separating land, labor and capital as the three elements of production...

I think this a chronic strawman tactic ( present company cheerfully exempted ) - misclassify land as capital, then complain about capitalism.

At the risk of stating the obvious: there is real benefit to using an entirely decentralised open source comms system like Riot.im (Matrix) or Conversations (XMPP), where you can pick precisely which app to run, who to trust to build that app, who to trust to advertise your public keys, and who to host your server.

It's inevitable that big centralised services like WhatsApp or even Signal are going to be under pressure from governments to support lawful intercept; in many countries it's essentially illegal to run a communication service that can't be snooped under a court order. Multinationals like Facebook are neither going to want to break the law (as it ends up with their senior management getting arrested: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/mar/01/brazil-po...) - nor pull out of those territories (given WhatsApp market penetration in Brazil is 98.5% or similar).

Compiling a Mac OS 8 Application on MacOS Sierra
Systemd has a lot of attention and people working on it and it will eventually become good enough for the vast majority.

But there were questionable tie-ins with various pieces like udev, consolekit and even gnome that allowed Systemd to become defacto init. The call for a kernel bus promotes a similar lock in with Systemd and this makes the use or development of alternatives and choice difficult.

There are things like predictable network names which are useful for 1% of users and are anything but predictable. Binary logging makes sense for the security industry Redhat serves but again has no use for the 99% others who anyway have to put up with it. There is a pattern of forcing things onto everyone that make sense for a tiny minority.

The big problem is open source funding. No one is interested in just supporting projects they benefit from. Acquisitions or hiring developers put these projects and developers under the control of companies like Redhat. Redhat has become a cathedral and a cathedral by sheer size and nature is always interested in securing and furthering its own influence and interests. When you allow such forces to become too powerful they will subsume the public interest to their interest.
If neanderthals were alive today, respectable people would call them homo sapiens sapiens and it'd be racism to suggest otherwise. Any evidence that you could distinguish neanderthals on the basis of genetics or morphology would be called pseudoscience and people like Stephen Jay Gould would publish elaborate sophistries explaining why anyone who notices differences between neanderthals and humans is a wicked person.

Oil is a wonderful product that is a key ingredient to many industries. It is used in manufacturing so many things -plastics, organic chemistry ingredients and even fertilizer; e.g. your shampoo bottle needed oil to make both the shampoo and the bottle itself.

At the moment, oil is so extremely cheap that we simply burn most of it. However, once we switch to other means of energy, we'll likely want to use all that oil in different ways with don't involve burning it and the CO2 stays in the products made from that oil (even if it means getting buried in a dump after some time).

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but even if it becomes a paid service, you might still have to wait for other paying customers to leave? Unless right now there is a problem of people taking their sweet (inconsiderate) time in the parking spot since they are not getting charged?

If that is the case, some HN posters had an interesting theory: once some customers start paying, they might feel entitled to stay at a charging station even longer (which would not fix your issue of waiting forever to access it).

Hope your charger gets fixed soon!
Race absolutely correlates with genetic clusters. Look at this map, [1], and say that there's no correlation between genetic markers and continental origin. Forensic anthropologists can identify race very well using nothing but bone structure.

The idea that race is scientifically invalid is complete nonsense. You can argue that race doesn't correlate with phenotypical characteristics that we care about (okay, but it does though), but arguing that race itself is just in our heads is nonsense.

Is it any wonder that more and more people distrust science on issues like evolution, climate change, autism, and so on when scientists claim that you can't really tell whether someone is white, black, or asian?

5 digital experts on whats next in health technology
I've helped a half-dozen friends and family members in the past couple of weeks fix their net filtering. I usually do it by logging into their routers and setting their DNS servers to OpenDNS or Google.

A few things i've noticed. Most people don't know this is something that can be fixed. I think that will change in the same way adblocking has spread (ublock is a well-known brand amongst my non-tech family and friends).

Second is that the DNS change will likely only be a temporary solution for this first stage of blocks. It is only a matter of time before more sophisticated blocks are put in place - and there are other methods mandated by the law available after DNS filtering (including IP blocks)

I've also noticed an irony in this situation. The Australian government passed legislation for the copyright protection internet filtering at around the same time they passed their ISP level metadata retention laws.

The irony is that because of the copyright blocks Australians are seeking and learning about solutions such as Tor and VPN's, which make the second set of metadata retention laws less effective.

One of the positive side effects of the laws is that it doesn't address the demand for content (Australians are well known pirates) and users will seek out workarounds which will have the effect of increasing awareness of privacy issues and technical workarounds.

I tend to agree with Ed Snowden when he says that solutions to privacy are in encryption and technology - not in politics. Unfortunately governments are going to do what governments do - either in the open, or in secret.
> But it would work the same way with monotonically increasing version. no?

Kinda. If I can use 1.4 then I can use 1.7 but I can't necessarily use 2.1, because 1.7 only added things to 1.4 but 2.1 changed something about the public interface.

Sorry, I didn't realise we were talking about REST.
Shahid Shah: What’s the value of data in healthcare?
One definition of a "market" is people with the same needs who reference each other (i.e. talk to each other). This transmission of information ("word of mouth") is important for marketung [...though perhaps a bit different today, with referencing internet reviews.]

Similarly, the definition of species as individuals that breed with each other has importance for transmission of genes. By this rationale, transitive gene transmission makes ring species a "species".

A biologist told me that species are defined, not by theoretical interbreeding, but by actual breeding...so that a single species divided somehow in different environments, is now two species, even when no genetic change has occurred.

By this strange extrinsic definition, the human races were different species before global travel... and now are one.

And that SV hackers who only breed with other SV hackers, are a different species (and the rise in autistism incidence evidences a genetic effect - in a few million years, interbreeding will be impossible!). Similar for classes, the 1% etc.Though there is crossbreeding in practice, so at most these are ring species.
specific to digging holes - there are strict safety rules about who can go into things like confined spaces, and holes may be close enough to qualify. This may seem "unioney" but it is decidedly not.

If it's "make a pencil"[1] rather than "dig a hole", then the number seems to go up quite a bit.

But if they can change the key while you're offline that means they can change the key and know everything from that point on.

> "Thunderbolt controllers consume about 2W even when idle"

Literally the next sentence in the article: "Apple provides a nonstandard ACPI-based mechanism to power the controller down when nothing is plugged in and I have implemented patches this year to make use of it on Linux."

And later in the paragraph: "The patches improve battery life noticeably: idle power consumption on my MacBook Pro drops from 12.2W to 10.5W when powering down Thunderbolt (with the discrete GPU, and AirPort already disabled). macOS achieves 7W as it supports power management on more devices, such as Firewire."
Maybe the ships don't die with it as they are invulnerable?
oh, and one other thing - there's also real value to independently published public security audits of the crypto to pick up on things like WhatsApp's retransmission 'bug', at least as of a given snapshot of the codebase. E.g. https://www.nccgroup.trust/us/our-research/matrix-olm-crypto... for Matrix or https://conversations.im/omemo/audit.pdf for OMEMO & Conversations.

> This is not about the government ... "removing news articles that are politically unacceptable".

That's actually part of the problem. The government should close down illegal establishments, and not just be blocking access to them.

The other part of the problem: Once the gov can tell the ISPs what to block (a) the block list must be secret and (b) the process can be very easily abused, with 'overblocking' being the standard excuse.
