> The fact that hardware - though much improved in the past 15 years - is still a crapshoot on Linux, particularly when it comes to laptop hardware, is so frustrating.

Anecdata: I've only ever had good luck with my laptops. All bought without OS (other than a make-believe FreeDOS installation).

Granted, I pondered a while which laptop to buy -- but I would do that in any case.

My personal experience is that it's surprisingly easy to get it right nowadays.

In fact I distinctly remember being baffled at how hard it was to install a particular driver -- only to discover that the system balked correctly: the driver didn't need to be installed, the device had been working all along, out of the box. I was banging my head against non-existing walls; these turned out to be harder than existing walls ;-)

I'm a physicist, too. And I don't understand what you and OP are talking about. In out frame, the collision happened ~2000 years ago. The light will arrive to Earth in a couple more years. That's it.

By the way, what's the need of talking about frames? Which other frame do you have in mind apart from ours?
I believe Ubuntu allows you to choose between closed source drivers from the vendor and open source ones.

It even asks you during install. I think it's on the very first page they show you.
"If two stars collide in the universe with no one around to see them..."
The thing with the rolling release is, that you get a few small updates each day/week, so if something breaks, you generally know where, which makes it easier to pinpoint the problem and fix it, then after a full distro upgrade.

However, in the one year I have been using Arch as my main distro, I had only two small breakages.

The first was a recent upgrade of openvpn, which required you to move some folder from one place to the other. however this was a known breaking change, so it was announced on the Arch-announce mailing list. :)

The second happened this weekend. I had been using the infinality-font-bundle, which provides a patched fonts set that is beautifully rendered. However it seems that the developer hadn't been keeping up with the new versions of fontconfig and the had been some new options added, and after an update gdk-bixbuf2 needed one of them to function. (which resultet in missing icons) This was fixed after 5 minutes of googleing.

So not something very dramatic.

Packaging:

The package manager is pacman and the standard repos already have a lot of software. And then there is the AUR, where everybody can upload build-scripts for stuff that is not in the official repositories. Most of the time they work great, there hasn't been any software at all that I had to download from a browser.
Even if Google is worse, that doesn't make Apple good, it's not a two player market. I can't speak for stock android, but the fine grained controls are available in CyanogenMod, and apps are available that have most of the features you mention. Additionally, those apps are free software, so I don't have to blindly trust a member of PRISM that they are secure.

All of those features don't matter if there's a backdoor, and from what I read of the FBI case there is one they just foolishly closed it.
You're not an idiot, the are plenty of people with that misunderstanding (it comes up quite often for almost any service: dropbox, twitter, Facebook, flickr, etc.).

All these services are obviously reproducing their users' copyrighted works. To do that they need that license. The difference to and ISP is that they change these works (or at least their representation) and a few others. That exemption, as well as those for caches and search engines, are codified in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_Copyright_Infringement_....

She was paid to succeed and paid excessively on any level. Why should we not hold stars in the tech industry to higher standards. Why should we not vilify them like any other CEO presiding over a failing or failed company which sheds thousands if not tens of thousands of employees? She is the quintessential example of the CEO type many dislike. Overpaid, doesn't deliver, and walks off with money in the bank.

Totally meta comment but I'm kind of tired of "quietly" in headlines to add a surreptitious air to something. Almost as bad as "finally" added to make everything seem like it's arrived years too late. Is it simply impossible for people to run a news site without blatantly pushing people's buttons?
Alright, so J'Kaziof [1] actually lives on a nearby planet in Cygnus. This was/is a tragic event that whiped out J'Kaziof's home planet. Luckily, they had super duper advanced technology with spaceships that could reach c * .99999...

J'Kaziof witnessed this event when s/he was n seconds [old] per their atomic clocks, and immediately set out in our direction.

What is the age of J'Kaziof in seconds when s/he arrives on Earth?

[p.s. assume their ships can instantanously accelerate to c and slow down to 0 from c.]

[p.s.s. In the year of our lord 222 here on Terra, Bardesanes of Edessa [2] went to meet his maker. Let's just say he passed away at the exact moment of J'Kaziof uttering 'make it so' to his 1st officer.]

> most american homes have the front door open directly to the living room.

Adding some info: in South America (Brazil at least) front door opens also to the living room. On architectural theory
it's common to correlate this trend with the 'less hierarchical' way of being of these countries.

In Europe this hardly ever happen and in cold countries is even common to have 2 halls behind the front door on single houses: the first not heated (the ganek in Polish) and then another hall, this one heated.
> Why try to fix a system...

Because perfect really often is the enemy of the good. If a perfect system isn't practically achievable, in the near term at least, is there really no point in making any improvement at all? In any case sometimes the best route to an ideal or near-ideal destinations is one step at a time.
Been pomodor'ing for 5yrs on/off... what i like about the 25, is it makes it a challenge, like a short race. "Can I really get this done in only 25?" It makes me work harder, and its a short enough time that i know i CAN give 100% focus if i start it with the right mindset.

Also, I never realized how short 25mins actually was. And working like that helps me estimate programming tasks. It used to be that someone would ask, "how long will it take you to do X?" I would always say, "an hour or two". Then I realized how short an hour actually is... only 2 pomodoros... and wow, that went by fast.

If I'm not done with a task, the trick I use for not losing focus between Pomodoros is to leave an easy bug, or purposely break something easy and leave a "//todonext".

I can't remember who, but some famous sculptor used this technique. He would purposely mess up an easy part of his sculpture, so that the next day, he had a "softball" to fix that easily got him back into work mode. (anyone know this phenomenon?)
That's bizarre, considering 40% of Dell computers sold in China come with Linux.
I heard loads about 3M when I was in college. It was probably one of the most frequently mentioned companies in the context of strategic management.
I was fortunate that while serving in the USAF we had an alternate for the Thunderbirds on our base. Watching him fly was a good reason to just sit on the ball fields even in the hottest afternoons. One takeaway from a meet and greet was it was real fun for him and all those cool moves are just that, simply cool with little application outside of stunt flying.
As an employee on an H1B auth in the US, I cannot express my support for this bill enough. I'd support making the minimum required H1B wage $150K base, adjusted for living expenses.

God, I hate the stigma attached to mentioning what work auth I'm here on. Sadly I have to let my work show that all H1s are not created equal.

The image of the H1B program has been tarnished because it has been used to import people either for not-so-difficult jobs or lower costs, and, in some cases, misrepresentation of abilities.

This bill, if passed, will go a long way in rehabilitating the image of and correcting course for the H1B program. And THAT would be a weight lifted off the minds of truly deserving H1 beneficiaries who are ready to stand up to scrutiny and prove themselves worthy of a program meant for premium talent.

I agree with Congressman Issa on very little. This is something I wholeheartedly support and this Congress better be ready to have some serious justification if they don't pass this bill.
Irrespective of examples, which I don't know, what is incorrect in that reasoning? And why is the conclusion implausible?
There was some pretty good long-form writing on medium when they started, and to this day I'm more likely to click on a medium link than, say, blogspot. The latter still has this completely insane "Next Blog" banner on top which does, actually, send you around randomly. It's as if they bought "50 million cheap blog" at auction and asked Willy Loman to sell it on commission.

Well, if you do that little research, I suspect you might be disappointed even if you were to stick with Windows 10. With devices as complex as notebooks, I think a few hours of spec-reading and comparison is warranted.

Otherwise I quite plainly wouldn't know what to grab from the shelf once I'm at the store.

Maybe I'm more discerning (you might say: anal), but I like to do a little research for purchases like this.

Dang you beat me to it.
The font + color choices are indeed nice. But don't get me started on the UI mess.

Medium articles tend to make my browser laggy. Comments need sometimes two clicks to open and upon hitting the back button, Medium loses the reading position so that I have to scroll all the way through the comments again.

It's beyond me how Medium's UX team can mess up basic navigation behavior like that.
I don't, hence why I moved away from GNU/Linux as desktop OS.

Yeah it works pretty much the same. If your clients aren't geographically dispersed replace anycast with DNS round robin or use both like most huge sites do.

I think this depends on the language.

For example Mathematics is generally accepted to be incomplete it what it can express (Gödel), and programming languages, while expressive and in theory turing complete, still limit the thoughts you can easily express, which I suspect will guide users to do things a certain way.

Natural language is a bit different because of borrowed words and the flexibility of the humans parsing it.
There's also https://www.positive.news for 'positive' editorial.
In Spain many are proposing to get rid of districts altogether, because they severely penalize parties that aren't the two biggest (except regionalistic parties). And this is in a country where the system actually allows third parties to get seats in Congress (even if harder) - the American system is very very ill of bipartidism. Congress should be 1 person 1 vote, no matter your political preference or where you live.
High frequency trading is Solarflare's original market (and Mellanox has their InfiniBand market), but both of them are becoming more and more common in the commodity server market as well. Particularly since Intel dropped the ball on 40G (and REALLY dropped the ball on 25/100G), and Broadcom is out of the adapter market, there is a void that other vendors are filling.

When you're spending $30,000 on a server, it doesn't really matter if you spend $1200 on a network card. Those CPU cycles and storage bytes have to go somewhere to make money.
I think multithreading the messaging/dispatching implementation would add more overhead than it saved. I remember the hurd's core message-passing routine is 26 assembly instructions - there's simply not a lot of computation involved, and in general not enough data for the message-passing to be the bottleneck - when you're transfering bulk data you'd use shared memory or at least DMA or the like (in a sensible microkernel you just do it, in a super-purist microkernel you'd have a server that owned bulk data buffers and your regular processes pass handles around rather than actually owning the data and it's fine too).

If you need a queue with particular properties you write one, as its own userspace process (or system of cooperating processes). The kernel dispatcher isn't assumed to be a fully general messaging system.

I use GNU/Linux since Slackware 2.0 and have used quite a lot of UI managers, probably all the most known ones.

My remark of UI/UX was from the point of view of someone that also does it, creating software for people that want to know as little as possible from computers, regarding their actual work.
Not the biggest fan of Atlassian (but an admin for 10 years). I am trying to figure out what product to use for project management, and what path Atlassian will take.

They started with Jira Agile, which became Jira Software where you could plan agile sprints. Assuming this was the future i was a bit surprised to see Portfolio pop up, but i am assuming this project will be shut down at some point in favor of a new Trello for Jira? Or?

We currently bought Softwareplants BigPicture & BigPicture Enterprise, but also played with TempoTeam Planner.

I see both Trello and Atlassian's CEO being here, please let you loyal customers know what your intentions are so we can plan for our futures.

To clarify:
My largest fear is not that they screw up Trello, but that once more developing resources we pay ever doubling license-fees for will be reallocated to making sure Trello works well with the rest of the stack, and becomes a big seller.

It's all about new bells and whistles with Atlassian, while we the end-users are begging for bugfixes or feature-requests for decades. This is clearly reflected in not patching bugs in current version but instead force users to upgrade, while sometimes losing functionality we loved just to keep the application safe.

Yes, this is a good pointer. However, there are likely more problems than just VAT MOSS — for example, it is likely that your home country will want you to charge VAT to your customers in the same country, while using VAT MOSS or reverse charge with customers in other EU countries. The result is that your subscription plan pricing gets significantly more complex.

Some countries also have requirements as to invoice language, or conversion rates that you need to use for foreign currencies. In my case (Poland), I can use the European Central Bank (ECB) rates for VAT, but not for income tax further down the line, so I have to integrated with two central banks to get their rates.

Overall, there is lots of overhead. There is a disconnect between EU officials and small modern companies. Officials want to "promote innovation and entrepreneurship" while introducing heavy-handed legislation (really meant to hurt Amazon, in case of VAT MOSS).
