> sysvinit was full of redundancy; apparently BSD found a way to make a thin abstraction layer to make init files clean.

They are completely different systems of init scripts. Just for starters, BSD does not have run levels, so the rcn.d directories and the maze of symlinks do not exist.

BSD init scripts themselves are much simpler mostly because there is a good system of helper functions which they all use, rather than every single script inventing its own wheel in sysvinit. Of course, this is just a discipline or convention, and sysvinit could be vastly improved if anybody was similarly industrious.

BSD init scripts also have completely different dependency management (PROVIDE and REQUIRE instead of numerical priorities). And the mechanism for disabling and enabling a script is via dead simple definitions in the single file /etc/rc.
Also worth mentioning that his knowledge of alchemy got him an important job as Master of the Mint, where he worked to eliminate counterfeit coins. (Metallurgy is a branch of alchemy, and the purity of metals a major research area for alchemy.) Perhaps not as earth-shattering as principia, but from a personal perspective his investment in alchemy paid of handsomely.
You need to look at how Nintendo makes games - they start with the device then build the story around that. Not the other way round, i.e making a story then looking at building it for the device. That is why the specs don't really matter or have ever mattered. Historically we've always heard spec complaints but a device user doesn't really talk as much about them (or even aware of them). At least compared to Playstation or Xbox.
I meant the quality of the sound based on the audio format.

Thanks for pointing this out! I had it set on Automatic and it sounded consistently like 128kbit CBR MP3 or worse (maybe they were sending down their 96kbit Normal stream - yuck). I switched it to Extreme now, hopefully that solves my issue.
Electric vehicles will ultimately become more convenient and will win on that basis alone. Electric car designs can be more flexible, and performance will continue to increase above and beyond the already ludicrous levels in some Tesla models.

When you think about gasoline engines they're terribly inconvenient. They need a lot of maintenance. They have tons of finicky moving parts. They need gasoline, which is only sold at select retailers, and the price of gasoline changes constantly, often spiking higher without warning.

It's only because this enormous infrastructure has built up around gasoline-powered cars that any of that is bearable. Can you imagine gasoline-powered cars trying to make inroads in a world that was historically all-electric? It'd be absurd. Somehow electric cars are gaining market share even when going against tradition, so it seems inevitable they'll hit some tipping point and gasoline will be considered the exotic, difficult to obtain fuel.

When people can charge their car overnight for free with a wind-turbine, or on the weekend with a solar roof they'll have little reason to prefer gasoline powered cars.
They've historically been very averse to putting their IP on other platforms, and for a very good reason. Nintendo makes their money selling consoles, the games they develop are just ways to drive console sales. If they made their games for other platforms, that would cannibalize their console sales.

This is why Nintendo's recent forays into iOS gaming are done by producing brand new unique games designed very differently from their console games. For example, Super Mario Run, that's not a game you'd find on a console because its design is tailored to the smartphone and the ways people use their smartphones. I hope they keep doing stuff like this, but don't ever expect them to release one of their console games on another platform.

>The back lighting itself is a large part of the appeal, to be honest.

That is understandable. Personally, I still love my (non-backlit, but with an integrated reading light in the cover) Kindle; however, I suspect this is in large part because I spend the better part of my workday staring at a backlit display and so would do just about anything to avoid having to do so on my time off.

My wife got a backlit one for Christmas and now call me a luddite for sticking with my backlit-less one.

Imagine being called a luddite for using a thingy with a 3G modem in it... :-)

> The heated water generated in the process of condensation is then transferred to a geothermal probe (generally loops of pipes embedded vertically in the ground) for storage and retrieval.

That is a neat approach. It works well for solar-heated water. Where winters are very cold and summers hot, one can also have cold-storage loops for summer cooling.

I'm not sure about the NaOH thing, however. I get that it enables heat transport. But as scotty79 notes, transporting concentrated NaOH is hazardous. It's already done, of course. But the scale for heat transport would be much greater than as chemical feedstock, I think.
At the risk of sounding heretical, I kind of find myself in the middle ground regarding systemd - I was initially highly skeptical of it, and I still think it's problematic that it is so Linux-centric and will cause problems maintaining software to run both on Linux/systemd and on *BSD. The way it was pushed on distros was problematic, in my opinion.

But having used a couple of Linux systems running systemd - Raspian Jessie and openSUSE - I have to admit it's not that bad. In practice - on laptops and desktop systems (assuming one counts the Pi as a desktop system; for my use case, I do) - I had no problems with it. Enabling and disabling services is a lot easier. I do not think is as great as its proponents claim, but it's not as bad as some people think, either. Personally, I have come to appreciate journald, even though I still agree that binary logs are a bad idea. At least there is still the option of installing a syslog daemon.
Having completed graduation in India with a college much less in glamor than VIT, I would advice you to give yourself some slack and continue working earnestly on interesting stuff. When I graduated, I was deep-down with anxiety to get proficient in frameworks like Rails / AngularJs. Apparently, what were web frameworks in my time are AI / Big Data these days — the skills insinuated as requisite to be taken seriously.

But things are much simpler than that. Programmers solve problems and even the most revered programmers are just solving other programmers' problems. If you are building stuff, irrespective of size, scale or complexity, you're on the right track. Snub the anxiousness of not studying in the top-tier college; it won't matter few years down the line. I certainly can relate to zealousness of solving complex problems, but in my view, it's certainly not a prerequisite for personal fulfilment, or success, for that matter.

In day-to-day work, I am yet to use anything related to AI but every now and then, I find immensely time-saving project that just solved an insignificant problem.

Why, Nintendo?
Important note: that's 49% of work people are doing right now can be automated with current technology. As a programmer, I see this as a signal that there's massive need for product and sales people. Programmers are the way we get from A to B but since <5% of the jobs can be 100% automated, there is still need for human buy in for almost all adoption.
On the Mill, you tell it the address that you want to read and when you want to read it. So you could issue a load for XYZ as soon as you know what XYZ is and if there's a subsequent store to XYZ that will update the result so when the load returns you have the data that was there when the load returns and not from when the load was issued.

If you issue a load that completes in 5 cycles and it needs to go to RAM for that data then it's going to stall waiting for that data but because you can issue loads sooner than on other architectures you can sort of alleviate some of the problems with stalling on some load.

Or:

Everyone else is using it so we must use it too.

Firstly, so did you refer that you work on Linux and connect to your MacOS which is running a X11 server using xquarts?

Secondly, how do you manage the files on your Linux machine if you use your Mac as the main machine? Do you use SSHFS to mount your Linux drives on your MacOS? (I'm used to the environment that Linux gives me, and try to work on Mac without giving up Linux tools)

I still haven't properly absorbed C++11

In that case, skip to c++14 immediately and try your best to use as much from it as possible as that will erradicate a bunch of unpleasancies you've become accustomed to. Really it's almost like a new language (and yes that comes with it's pros and cons) compared to pre-c++11. Once I realized that I've tried keeping the mindset 'first check if c++14 added something for dealing with this, before writing any code' for nearly everything I write (in practice: search, land on cppreference.com and/or stackoverflow.com, read). In the beginning that costs time but I'm pretty confident I gained that back already because the knowledge it gives you enables to write better code, faster.

I suspect 1 is the big turnoff. It's really hard to make people pay for something they can get for free, with a better perceived value. App.net promised to have value in the future, but demanded payment upfront. Twitter offers immediate value without demanding any form of payment.
No need to wonder. That is exactly how C++ vtables work.
It's kind of hilarious to juxtapose your comment with the other one that says Nintendo only ever repeats themselves.

I think you have a few errors in your explanations.

There is not enough evidence about the immune system of the neanderthals. When the Out-of-Africa migration(s) happened, there is no evidence that the neanderthals had encountered significant diseases and epidemics in the past -- up to that point. This does not rule out the possibility that they neanderthals were spreading some unique parasites amongst themselves. Disease is all about congestion [1].

What the neanderthals had that was most beneficial to humans was geographic adaptation. And the are genes for that can jump-start (by many generations) the evolution of features like longer and more straight hair.

Also, during Natural Selection genes that become useless will stay in the gene pool. Natural Selection selects for advantageous genes [2], that does not mean that it selects against neutral (useless) genes. DNA has no size cap and the gene pool of organisms continues to hold onto the genes long after they offered a survival edge [3].

[1] It is also congestion that increases the likelyhood that a disease jumps species.

[2] And by compliment, against disadvantageous genes

[3] This is a virtue of DNA, it likes to keep a memory bank of all solutions that have been useful in the past. It is a hoarder.

There's still plenty of room for artistic style in graphically "realistic" games. Dishonored and the recent Deus Ex games (particularly the Human Revolution) are pretty good examples of both good graphical definition and a very strong sense of style. Going back a little further there were the Bioshock games, which also just ooze style (as well as being top tier in the realistic graphics dept for their time).

Yeah, but an ISP should at worst be able to block connections to specific hosts or IP addresses. If they could generate certificates for arbitrary domains (like thepiratebay.se) allowing them to serve a "blocked for copyright infringement" page over HTTPS, then something would be seriously broken.

Most people I hear having problems with Systems is either on Redhat or Debian - not realising the both are mangling systemd badly. RHEL took in systemd way too early and are missing a lot of needed functionality. Also the have an ungodly amount of patches on top - so much you could argue it should be named redhatd instead. Debian just chooses to take the worst possible middle position due to politics. All of the disadvantages from systemd, but not really any of the great stuff as systemd units often just start shellscripts due to compatibility.... If you want to try systemd in all its glory try Arch or something downstream from it... I for one think that systemd has made my admin-life so much better ..
Reading through some ancient conversations...

OK so the callgraph is isomorphic in some sense when using recursion. If this was the intent of the author, it was not clear.

I would still argue that call-graph isomorphism to the data structures they work is of little relevance to software practitioners.

1. Multithreaded algorithms acting on trees do not necessarily have callgraphs that are isomorphic to the trees.

2. As I mentioned elsewhere, arbitrary graph data structures, or even the more constrained subset of DAGS, are not isomorphic to call graphs of the algorithms that work on them. Recursive algorithms have the same exact applicability to these structures as they do quadtrees.

3. Also as I mentioned elsewhere, recursive algorithms can be implemented with loops and an explicit stack without any function calls at all. This is at times the best way to implement algorithms on trees (particularly where trees are deep and the platform has a small stack - yes I've had to do rewrite recursive code because it overflowed a small, non-configurable stack).
The Dreamcast was so very far ahead of its time. I have not seen a console as innovative since, both hardware and software wise.

And here we are, in a console wasteland far in the future. The Switch is the only home system I am mildly excited about. For innovative games, I will stick with PC.
