I care about safety and recognize that I can achieve it in C++. These claims that it's not possible, prohibitively difficult and so on are basically unsupported assertions. They're exactly the kind of argument that people who would like to see Rust gain traction shouldn't be making, because they impugn the credibility of the person making them.

This was ubuntu's recommended/default partition plan. I did not customize it. Now, it's possible this is a plan they no longer recommend and have changed since I first installed Ubuntu, but the point stands:

I installed Ubuntu onto a machine, chose the recommended default options, and it set up a /boot partition that was quite small, and its normal update cycle fills it up and fails to fix the problem automatically or prompt the user with information to fix the problem.
With TBD you can reduce the overhead of coordination between committers.

Edit for clarification: "Branching in code", á la Feature Toggles is much better, because everything around it can be automated. With CVS branches, you shift that process into an earlier development stage where you need more human collaboration. So TBD can shift the focus of collaboration to things that matter more: the code.
>> We're less violent today than we were 100 years ago, but that's not because of gun regulation. It's because people naturally moved away from it, just like people are naturally moving away from smoking. Government policies coaxed the move away from smoking with public bans and taxation. Importantly, that helped shift the culture. But nobody ever once challenged an individual's right to smoke.

We have less smoking because of government policies which led to better awareness that smoking is really bad for you (as you say), but we do have explicit policies stopping an individual from smoking, in restaurants and businesses. That person's right to smoke up was abridged to help improve the health of others around them.
Yeah again, Lyft's board is appointed with obligations to the company and the shareholders. Companies can have an ethos of social responsibility, but the board isn't there with an obligation to social responsibility, or to oppose politicians. When a non-profitable company is spending company funds based on the board's personal moral code...I'd have significant issues.
I go to McDonalds once every 4-6 months or so. A couple weeks ago i noticed the machines and tried them. As an old fart I prefer the human interaction, also the machines seems slower to me to get all the details of the order right. Also I don't like the extra touching a place where everybody is touching (more so in the soda machine where the button is in the same place), seems very unhygienic.

I did ask the manager if the machines meant there were less people working at the location but he told me that no, same employees as before.

I would hesitate to proscribe a "one true way" as well but the longer I develop the more convinced I am that a having branch lives longer than a few days indicates a serious underlying problem (usually a lack of test coverage or faith in said tests).
Fair enough.

I just use the term because I'm "family tech support" for multiple grandmas. I'll avoid that phrasing in the future.
>Are you aware of how large America's population is, and how small 50,000 people is relative to the U.S. and to the size of normal annual immigration?

That is not the point. I'm simply stating that lately America has been less strict with the caliber of immigrants allowed in and the DV program best exemplifies it.
I like this best.

It enables you to build your feature and then squash the commits into one idempotent feature commit which keeps commit clutter out of the git logs.

Just keeping your branch rebased daily, one will have minimal problems even on big teams.

I personally love developing on my own branch and having the freedom to experiment without messing stuff up.
All of the virtue signaling and moral feather preening surrounding this issue is something to behold.

It seems we're entering a new era where businesses engage in political activism as well as simple commerce.

If that's the case, it's only fair that other groups, whose politics may differ from the activist-businesses', start using politics to weaken those businesses and counter their influence.

For example, it's well known that Airbnb operates under the radar of housing regulations in many localities.

Perhaps people who disagree with Airbnb's politics should organize and bring about legislation that will eliminate or severely curtail Airbnb's ability to do business in their town, county or state.

Or perhaps the Republicans, though new federal liability laws, should render Airbnb's business model non-viable at the national level.

The left has been engaging in total war against the right for about a decade. They seek to impose social and economic penalties on those who hold political views different than their own. And they've done this, fairly secure in the knowledge that there would be few or no repercussions against them.

But I have a feeling that's starting to change.
May as well toss out a specific named request, how about the arduino IDE?

I'm sure it'll run, but accessing USB OTG so as to flash arduino boards sounds unlikely.

In my infinite spare time I'll set up the arduino IDE on a rasp pi zero and connect to it over VNC or rdesktop. Which would also come in handy for using my chromebook.
Trump is terrible, I wish someone else had been elected, this is clearly xenophobic crap, etc.

But we do this shit all the time. The US' immigration system is byzantine at best.

We deport "illegals" who have lives in the US routinely whose lives are no less worthwhile; Obama did something similar to Cubans coming here right before leaving office, leaving those moving to the US with the expectation that "wet foot dry foot" policy would continue stranded at airports.

We're just all more sympathetic to the MIT student.

Maybe I'm just overly cavalier, but it feels no different from the arbitrariness I have experienced in the US immigration system where random officials may make decisions with no relationship to the law with no grounds for appeal.

This country already makes it ridiculously hard for skilled workers to move here; the optics sure do look shitty though.

I do feel truly sorry for the refugees though, they have nowhere to go back to and are truly in a world of hurt. It saddens me that every country I have called home is so callous to them.

I would have liked to see solidarity, but I am extremely uncomfortable vilifying any individual or company for simply choosing to not participate in a protest.

I heard about the SFO protests yesterday, and I largely support the cause, and I could have made it there in time to join. I didn't. Do you question my moral compass? Did I do something wrong? I know people who largely support the issues of the women's march, yet did not attend, or attended only part of the rally or march. Should they be vilified?

I think this is a scary idea. Not everyone can or has to actively join every protest to "prove" that they support the platform or "have a moral compass."
This is completely normal in politics and commerce.

I have a NUC6i5SYK (Skylake) running Ubuntu 16.04 server, and I too had some serious problems initially. Installing to the SSD worked without issues, but then I got machine check panics during most boots. After a lot of troubleshooting I was finally able to make the system stable by adding these parameters to the kernel command line:

intel_idle.max_cstate=1 i915.enable_rc6=0

After that it has been running without a glitch. I hope it will be as stable as the Mac Mini it replaced. That too had some initial problems however: the first one I bought in 2008 was DOA. Apple replaced it, and the replacement lasted four months before a thunderstorm zapped it. My insurance company replaced that one, and that Mac Mini then ran like a clockwork 24/7 for eight years.
> Among other things, because "it's harder to build things than to break them" is a hoary and largely discredit trope.

The application of that argument in this context might be misguided, but it is certainly true that it is much easier to destroy something than to build it in the first place. The reason is entropy -- highly ordered systems are particularly vulnerable to unraveling in the face of this natural law.

Don't get too carried away, it's written for ksh and relies on bash and zsh to be compatible with ksh. You can see in the beginning it does a tiny bit of setup and never cares again which shell it runs on. For zsh, it literally says "emulate ksh" which is something zsh provides.

Studies are all fairly conclusive: indulging in watching porn related to your paraphilia makes you want to act on that paraphilia. Suggesting otherwise is completely absurd.
I think this sort of protest requires organization. Uber's surge pricing (which I assume drivers didn't know would be suspended in time to plan a protest) basically guarantees seamless scabbing, so the opportunity cost of the protest becomes unreasonable.
Turning off surge pricing sends fewer Ubers to JFK! They make less money, not more with surge pricing off! Makes no sense!
The only moral code here is fact: contrary to the administration's claims, the September 11th attacks did not originate in – or have a material connection to – these countries. Citing the September 11th attacks as a reason to restrict immigration from these countries does not follow logically, and therefore must be opposed on a factual basis. The claim is not true.

Well, I'm glad you said what you said even though, as you admit, you feel weird defending Uber.

The rational thing to do for any single voter is to not bother voting; and the US doesn't make it easy for people to vote, especially with election day not being a weekend or a public holiday and requiring most of the day.

In the US the "blue map" does really matter except psychologically since everyone votes in a specific state, but the predictions from the media probably didn't help.

Hopefully Trump will drive democratic midterm voter turn out.
What are/were the unique or distinctive features of ITS? It's mentioned in a couple of places in the "jargon file", but otherwise it's a part of computing history I'm not familiar with.
Zero taxi drivers, if it was a strike organized by taxi companies or taxi unions. The presence of Uber drivers, or bus drivers, or train engineers, etc. does not contradict or minimize a taxi strike. And a taxi strike does not obligate or even sugges that all other employees in the human transportation industry should strike. And lastly, Uber choosing to not strike does not imply that Uber or Uber drivers do not support the taxi strike or the cause of protesters.
Because, as has been pointed out by most of the other comments here, this was going to happen anyway. It didn't really matter that wages went up, other than it potentially hurried it along.
Using your math/logic, what percentage of Americans voted for Obama?

At least for Spanish, it can pronounce some words fairly well. I wrote a Spanish orthography-to-IPA converter a few years back. It's up on Heroku until folks crash it if you want to get some Spanish words transcribed to IPA.

I used it to generate a few random words. Some of the sounds were off - for example ɾ (the "r" in "estar"). But many words were pronounced clearly enough to be understood.

> FTP is for static files, why would you do on the fly compression? People used to just transfer precompressed files like tar.gz or zip files

Indeed they did. But that was when the majority of users were technicians. These days we need a protocol for layman.

> FTP has an ascii transfer mode because operating systems have different line endings and this automatically translates for them.

I know, I left that part you because it wasn't relevant to my point but I'm glad you raised it as it's another feature that isn't necessary these days because, aside Notepad.exe, every text editor on the planet can handle different line endings. Thus ASCII mode is just another point to break files for inexperienced users (I'm not really happy with the kludge that some clients use either; by using the file extension to guess the correct method of transport)
What's that have to do with Lyft?

It doesn't matter how principled your opposition here is...boards have obligations, and this isn't one of them.
Offering normal pricing means drivers get paid less, reduces opportunity cost of joining in strike. Or, drivers who participate in strike get paid $0 either way so it doesn't affect them. Uber drivers who don't participate in strike will get sent to JFK less often because of lack of extra incentive due to surge pricing.
It's a Muslim ban when it affects majority-Muslim countries and has a minority exemption. That's pretty clear to me.

I'm having a hard time understanding the argument you try to make as you confirm all the arguments your selected opponents are making. "It only lasts for 90 days" is a rebuttal, but it's an awfully weak one to hang your entire rhetorical outfit on.
Come on. Trump is doing lots of bad things, but if he weren't people would still be striking. The largest protest in American history happened before he even took office. Let's not pretend that people's emotions are less of a driving factor than the facts. Get over yourself.
Just FYI, getting an Information Systems degree instead of a Computer Science degree is one of my regrets. I would not advise it to anyone.

If you want to work in tech, go for the CS degree. Yes it'll be harder, but it's vastly more valuable. IS/IT degrees are nearly all fluff, especially a MS.

> Which is why usually there are other language or runtime features for deterministicaly managing resources besides just the GC.

Other than what Rust (and its research ancestors) uses, I haven't seen any alternative that isn't fundamentally broken in some way or another.

> making it easier to write cyclic graphs

I'd do it the same way I do it in any other language: initially create a DAG, then mutate it to create the cycles. This needs reference cells or something like that. Rust can do it already.

> reducing even further the cases where one has to explicity type lifetimes.

I don't see any way to do that in the vicinity of where Rust lies in the design space. What Rust has settled for (explicit lifetimes in type definitions, elision at use site) seems perfectly sensible to me. Of course, if a better alternative is found, that's a great thing.
That may be true in the abstract, but it is entirely false in the particulars. Everybody can, for instance, design a cipher they can't themselves break; most competent developers could, within a few weeks of self-directed training, add a feature to Chrome. Try breaking Chrome.
They maybe would, but many years later, maybe so many, that it wouldn't even matter. Tons of people would get to keep their jobs for a little (or not so little) longer.
Cutting surge pricing means fewer drivers, increased wait times. Does not convenience anyone.
Nah. Green screens were great. Stuff today is crap.

How does a user interface? For a web site, primarily with a mouse. So, single touch input. For green screen they have an array of dedicated individual simultaneous input devices (known as "keys"). In addition, green screen often provides near-immediate response, whereas touchscreens can suffer from lag either in the physical interface or the unfortunate multiprocess operating system. Finally, green screen was designed to step quickly through the interface, where web requires lots of hunting around for what you want to do.

You simply can't interface better with an application than a single process dedicated application using fixed multiple inputs with immediate response. It's like web pages are a cart and horse and green screen is a race car.

It depends on the purpose of the company. Companies have purposes beyond simply increasing shareholder value: they have goals as to how they're going to run their business, which the board understands. I don't know what the details are in this case. But the argument that everything boils down to pure, unrestrained pursuit of profit is ultimately hollow and soulless and results in all manner of abuses.
Maybe GP just prefers DHL?
I agree that terminals are more "productive". One of the reasons that the mouse based interfaces gained such traction is that the sales people pitched it as "you can teach someone to use this interface in X amount of time" where X is orders of magnitude less than using a terminal interface. Like saying that Nodepad is quicker to learn than Emacs or Vim. This is true at face value, the trade off is that you pay for it later on as people become productive with it. Alas, cutting down "training time" and the costs involved with this for new employees is something bean counters can measure.
So, in a typical SAAS cloud application environment, is ISO 27001 just off the table for anyone serious about security? As (in effect) the CSO for a bunch of decently-sized startups, I would have a hard time approving the deployment of any kind of antimalware tool, because the risk simply isn't worth the reward. Even when deployed on isolated systems and not every end system and server, they're still intrinsically dangerous systems: they're essentially most of the attack surface of a browser.
