Go where? How do you get rid of them?

The problem is exactly the same as the following:

In an organization, you'll have some employees that are more psychologically healthy, and some less. Some will have substance abuse problems. The employees with substance abuse problems will be less productive, on average. In other words, they're dragging the organization down.

There's no "getting rid of them". They'll just burden another company. Same as here, in open-source, you can't "get rid of them", it's logistically impossible.

This problem logistically can't get fixed through exclusion. It can only get fixed by "raising the floor" (in other words, making sure that the most troubled men become less troubled). Raising the median/average won't help. Same as raising the median income won't help the people in poverty, raising the minimum wage will.

In the original metaphor, since substance abuse and attachment disorders are correlated, again the best solution is early detection of attachment disorders in young children, and improving their situation.

Why not help the least fortunate? I can guarantee you, the kinds of guys sending Photoshopped pics of bloody cadavers are not happy people. There's psychological inequality just as much as economic inequality, though for psychology, most people find it harder to be compassionate.
Have to agree with this; I recently went on a big distro downloading binge, as I was sure I was missing out on something that was more modern, shinier, and had sexy features I didn't know I needed 'till I tried them.

I ended up deleting the lot. For me, Ubuntu just works, and has the features I like, is well supported, and has a strong community.

I satisfied myself with a new theme and desktop background. Then again, I also drive a Camry :)
Hackaday comments are terrible no matter the subject. I don't know why, but they always have been; useful content is seldom and the tone is that of a struggle session. When you're on Hackaday, nothing is about fun. You are hobbying wrong and the world has to know about it RIGHT NOW. Granted, there's the occasional case where flagrant disregard for safety exists and wants addressing, but even that, I think, could be more usefully handled with less of a "you're worthless and you should feel terrible about yourself" vibe, not least because if you drive decent people away with your godawful attitude, no one's going to hear your warning.

I don't know from Petapixel, but if it's the hobby photographer equivalent of Hackaday, that's terrifying. I'm sure there are serious amateur photographers who are also perfectly nice people, but for some reason the ones I find myself dealing with are more on the "why bother trying to frame anything, it's a phone so it'll come out bad anyway" level. I'm sure that guy would be perfectly at home on Petapixel.
When we examine the path others took to achieve extraordinary success, this isn't even what we're doing.

Instead, we're often looking at companies and people that took outrageous risks that will nearly always fail, and luckily ended up in just the right academic path, met just the right collaborator, entered just the right industry, had nobody else bother to compete with them, had an opponent make a fatal mistake, were noticed by just the right person, avoided the ubiquitous pitfall, et cetera.

Luck has an enormous influence on what actually ends up on top. You can do deliberate optimization, and many of these people/orgs did some, but post-hoc reasoning that everything Amazon or Einstein were doing on their path to greatness must indicate radically greater decisionmaking powers than all others is extremely incorrect, and worse (because we think in narratives) extremely misleading/convincing.

Many times, what got people to the top are high-risk, high-reward options. Buying lottery tickets (or the equivalent).
I second that.

I would love to see a version of authors desktop built with Ubuntu Core instead.
I love this and the azure version. Refer to them from time to time. Thank you for taking to effort,don't worry about the detractors!
That's... About the opposite of what I expect to see when I hear people talk about Linux on the desktop. It's definitely interesting though.

But... Where's the GUI love? :(

I know it's all about the terminal, but god damn it, I'm trying to drop OS X, and just because I can use bash doesn't mean I dislike having nice things like desktop transition effects or transparency or auto-mounting USB drives. I swear, if I have to read another Arch Linux forums post about how things Windows 98 could do out of the box are bloat...
Creating something other people will pay money for is very very hard. 90+% of projects are ignored and forgotten.

I've had two successful projects over 10yrs which is about average.
"It's probably worth reading through https://github.com/w3c/resource-timing/issues/64 and the proposal I linked above. In short, it's not clear that implementing the Origin header the way Chrome supports it actually helps with CSRF and it makes it harder (impossible really) to distinguish CORS requests."

Seems Firefox will implement it anyway because it's still better than nothing.
here's my formula (and I've been around the block a few times).

decent level of success = 0 units of bad luck + 3 units of skill and 2 units of hard work

yuge level of success = 5 units of good luck + 3 units of skill and 2 units of hard work

And when is the issue of feminist overreach discussed, except when a feminist's actions have triggered discussion? Do you have a better "room"?

When people like you try to shut down debate by saying now is not the time, all you do is make things worse. That's how Trump wins: he doesn't try and "read the room" or bring things up at the "appropriate" times. He doesn't care about these rules social-justice types try and impose at all, because he knows there is never going to be a time when they're happy for their behaviour to be discussed.
I wonder if such software civilization couldn't automate the exploration process away, so that the beings themselves don't care about it day to day. From the outside perspective, the whole thing will look like a weird blob of something, expanding in the direction of usable resources at speeds close to c. And beings inside may not even be aware they're consuming some "real world" around them.

I guess I've just sketched a sci-fi story. I wonder if someone wrote it already.
Group Decision tool MVP
Greetings, My name is Umesh and I am student in Germany, I am doing a project in Start-up with 5 other students and we are building an online group decision tool. We would like to do a survey in this group because we need to address professionals. Please have a look at our online group decision tool.
We are doing a project in Otto-von-Guericke University. We are not commercial. It's for the course for which we will get the credit points.

I feel the general advice is don't do it and with good reason!

However, I feel that if you have good skills this should be the way to go. Hustle and get profitable. It is not that difficult using services.

The moonlighting alternative sounds appealing but I find the progress to be extremely slow and there are just too many distractions to really make it useful.

I know there are people who do it successfully, but I feel they are supermen and a notch above most.

Just my 2 cents.
This is cool - one item I think is wrong/misunderstood is Big Data > Data Lake Store.

It has nothing to do with ETL, it's basically just "HDFS in the cloud" [1] and a successor to using blob storage/regular old storage accounts for distributed/Hadoop-ish workloads.

> Like Ubuntu, it just needs to do its job extremely well and with little fuss.

Come on now, if it was a quiet open source project, I'd agree. But it's funded by a multi-millionaire and pours a lot of gas on the fire you wouldn't see otherwise. Ubuntu is self sustaining now from its corporate support contracts, but it got where it is in the typical startup fashion of burning investor money and shows up in news quite often for a Linux distro, not just doing a job without fuss.

What I don't understand is how the image URL ends up in a non-closed img src attribute. They might be getting the URL from a third party:

https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/0?d=https%3A%2F%2Fsome-evil-site.com%2Fimages%2Favatar.jpg%2f

But GitHub is the one opening and closing the tag, probably in some kind of template:

<img src="{gravatar_url}">
<p>secret</p>

Which should result in this:

<img src="https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/0?d=https%3A%2F%2Fsome-evil-site.com%2Fimages%2Favatar.jpg%2f">
<p>secret</p>

and not this:

<img src="https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/0?d=https%3A%2F%2Fsome-evil-site.com%2Fimages%2Favatar.jpg%2f

One point that I disagree with, Cloud Services:"Run stuff but worry a fair amount about configuration and patching." We run a bunch of cloud services and MS are responsible for patching, I would describe it more as PaaS that IaaS.

Per the Wikipedia page for Whiley[1] the languages akin to Dafny are mentioned when explaining what Whiley is: “The primary purpose of such a tool is to improve software quality by ensuring a program meets a formal specification. In other words, to help identify and eliminate software bug in the programs being developed. Whiley follows many attempts to develop such tools, including notable efforts such as SPARK/Ada, ESC/Java, Spec#, Dafny, Why3 and Frama-C.”

I'm thinking there must be a reason they do not mention F*, Coq, Agda, and Idris, perhaps because they are proof assistants[2] rather than automatic provers of programs with formal specifications. See also Isabelle and others. Regarding Idris (which you mention but is not on that page) and Epigram (which is noteworthy and again not on that page), neither are production ready and the latter is unmaintained.

[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_assistant
Thanks!

So it seems they prefer to run groups of applications as services rather than totally isolating each program. This makes sense : docker bundles could be the next level of meta packages. You could say "I want to write some react-native code" and have the jvm, react-native and android sdk pulled at once and ready to use.

Regarding ipc, they take a good part of this page to describe their z/VM networking features, so I guess it's indeed something needing solving. The interesting part is that docker networking already allows tcp networking, and mounting volumes could help sharing sockets or regular files, kind of like the "single system image feature" they mention.
To be honest, I can't imagine landing a plane at 4fps.
I think simulations will be used to help people live more productive / happy lives in the future. Imagine having many "lives" worth of experience, perhaps from many different periods throughout history, and you're still only 16 years old.

Not just the "matrix" flavor where the goal is to learn specific skills. I'm talking about being born, growing old, and dying in a simulation many times in a matter of hours? / days? / weeks? and being able to recall those experiences / decisions and their rewards and/or consequences once you're back to living your "real" life.
Or you can just send a freezed brain of a volunteer, hoping that alien civilization will be advanced enough to give it means of communication.

Burnt fingertips, hell. My second, and so far last, iron burn happened as a result of trying to solder an SD card slot hacked from an old floppy edge connector onto the CPU pins of a WRT54G with an insufficient magnifier that had me leaning way too close to the work. Turns out my nose sticks out further than I'd thought! And the blister stuck out further still. The sort of thing about which my mother might say "that'll learn ya," and it did - I'm much more cautious now.
This is a problem with Amazon and Google as well, I won't give out my credit card details for an open ended arrangement, I really want to charge up my account when I'm ready.

>Banking, retail, fashion, you will get such comments everywhere. A lot of men are jerks indeed but this is a social problem, not an industry one.

This is a moral equivalence fallacy, a red herring of sorts. You are saying this women's frustration with her industry is irrelevant to her industry because a handful of unrelated indusries have problems that could be similar.

This argument ignores that CS/IT is largely male and notorious are for this disgusting behavior. It's one of the only industries that had a greater percentage of women in the 80s than it does now. There are industries that do not suffer from this problem at all or nearly to the same degree.

In full, this women's expirence is directly related to overt mysogeny in industry culture and labeling it as a "social problem" willfully ignores this problem in tech thus perpetuating it further.
Look.

:sigh:

I see what you're saying, okay? And I can totally empathize.

But look. Here's an apparently unrelated article on Magic the Gathering: http://www.starcitygames.com/magic/misc/2005_Stuck_In_The_Mi...

It says that if you're facing a challenging task and under stress, like winning a game, there's an instinct to lose. I think the idea is that winning takes effort, and so we have a bias that makes us go "well, I'll charge all in and see if it works," and then it predictably doesn't work and we retreat into a sort of "hah, I knew I would lose!" because by taking the risk, we sort of licensed losing in our minds. Like, "you didn't beat me, I beat myself!" type of thing.

This is not the place to bring the topic up. I don't know if there is a better place to bring the topic up, but I feel like what motivates you to bring it up here may be something similar to that article, where you know you're going to get downvoted but at least you know why, and expect it, and that makes it acceptable. If you want to actually win, you have to avoid reactions like that. You have to be patient, and wait for the right time, and then use the right level of forcefulness, and signal in the right way, and make the right concessions, and it's hard, nobody is saying it's not, but would you rather lose on your terms or win?
Yeah, I like that. Because even a chmod of a directory causes another layer with all the data duplicated, it would be better if I can just squash the selected lines.
For the most part, "innovation" is a just a side effect of trying to optimise a specific goal (eg: money, control etc)
Context:
I quit my job in June 2016 to take a break from my career and among other things, build a product end to end.
Money has run out now but passion hasn't and I'm close to first launch. I'm in Bangalore so I'm able to keep burn rate below $400/month.

Advice:
I'd say go with the tech you know(exceptions only apply if your core differentiator is technological superiority, but that's rare).
You'll have full days to yourself, so separate work time from leisure time, do physical exercise, be in touch with friends, don't reveal your plans/progress to many people, involve target users as soon as possible(most important). Lastly, enjoy the ride!
What would you recommend instead of System.Drawing in a web app?

In some ways Ubuntu has kinda lost it's course with the whole Unity unification. Fedora 25 spins are now much nicer use if you don't mind upgrading every year and if you want LTS type of system Ubuntu still rocks, although I find it much less stable than it used to be.
It sounds like you've missed a key piece of advice somewhere along the way: Don't quit your day job until you have something replacing its income.

I live off the profits of a few bootstrapped SaaS products. It took six years before I was bringing in enough to comfortably live on.

If it's not too late, switch the "build a product" and "quit my job" steps around into the correct order.

Web companies think 12k transactions per node is fine.

It isn't fine. They just have an idiotic funding ans scaling model
Mind sharing those products?
Yes.

The main advantage of program verifiers (e.g. Dafny) is that there's no (or very little) type/term division. A runtime function `+` is the same as the proof/mathematical function `+`, runtime numbers are mathmatical numbers, etc. (it gets a bit more complicated with equality AFAIK). As a result, in Haskell you have to reimplement the whole (Peano) integer arithmetics again in the type system to prove e.g. array bounds checks, whereas Dafny automatically maps between proofs and code.

I think that Haskell is slowly doing away with this (they're unifing the term and proof language). I think that Idris completely unifies the two. The only difference that remains then is that Dafny uses an automated theorem prover (Z3), whereas in Haskell/Idris you have to do proofs by yourself.
Lower your overhead. Reduce your rent - $0 would be ideal, if you have a car, consider selling it or replace it with a super cheap one. I bootstrapped for 10 years, and I did make some money along the way. BUT, I spent too long trying to make it work. Make sure you don't hang on too long. Give yourself a deadline for when this thing should be self-sustaining. Understand UPFRONT that taxes are going to suck up every penny you have. You are no longer a W2 employee, make sure you understand the difference taxes have on a business owner and a W2 employee.
You'll never get the same environment locally as you do in prod. That's why you have staging (you do have staging, right?).

It's better to make the environment as close as possible to prod without adding massive inconvenience but docker both adds inconvenience and forces you to use it in production (which entails a whole other set of headaches) if you want close environmental parity, and even then, since it's lightweight virtualization there are hundreds of things which can behave differently between dev and prod.

IMHO you either want very close environmental parity (in which case full virtualization is the way to go) or you don't, in which case running locally is fine.

TLDR: even if we removed drug offenses from prison AND all the black population from prisons, the US would STILL have a HUGE prison population compared to any western country.

Why? Because from the 1980s all branches, police, judges and legislators have together increased sentences for all crimes. A LOT. Probably needlessly if going by recidivism.
Seen someone screw up because they weren't trained: yup.

Work under a hot engine bay for 8 hours: no, but I've worked outdoors carrying construction material during heat waves, and I've worked indoors in cold data centers.

Used an angle grinder: no. I have used lots of other power tools. Should you trust me with one? Not until I'm trained on it.

Lifted 300lb pieces of granite: no. We have these things called wheels, you might have heard of them? Using wheels and levers and ropes and pulleys, I have moved much heavier things. I recommend using appropriate tools. Hoists? Cranes? Block-and-tackle?
Since you're quoting from Meditations, I hope you will entertain me if I go on a tangent. I find Meditations too disorganized to learn from it, and contextualize what it says. Do you have any advice?

Important to notice that of course this does not license harassment. The ground truth is that harassing behavior, which is what's called out in this post, must be stopped. But independent of that, some men who are not harassers themselves also have grounds to be afraid of some feminists, and that is also an injustice.
