This is why I think Rolling Release is the only viable model of Linux distribution in desktops. Instead of overloading a team of security experts expecting them to backport every security change to the stable version of a package, they simply follow upstream releases, build it and make sure that isn't horrible broken (however, they can't be sure that the upgrade path is seamless for every possible configuration).

BTW, it is possible to check in Ubuntu which packages are supported or not: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man1/check-suppor...
IIRC, ATP is a short lived energy carrier in cells. Instead of harvesting it from cells, it's probably easier to turn that around and use the existing ATP mechanism in cells to generate ammonia.
So it's better, safer, but still manual memory management.
I didn't argue that there's one fix, I mentioned that there should be multiple layers. If you'd read what I write you'd have known this. Further, just being negative and calling names vs maybe making an argument isn't helping your case.

I have always thought it would be neat if there were an isolated stretch of businesses along the river. If Mozart's was on the bank somewhere between Lamar and Congress, it would be a great destination.
I had a weird Amiga 500. It had late OCS chipset, but on hardware level its Denise could display bitplanes from slow RAM (512 kB RAM expansion)! Unfortunately I never tested blitter, copper lists, sample playback etc. from this memory range, so no idea whether those worked as well. Of course all is DMA access, so my guess is they would have.

RAM was mapped at 0x80000-0x100000 from chipset point of view. CPU saw same data at 0xc00000-0xc80000.
It's entirely possible (I am not claiming either way) that both are true: that the H1B system has benefited employers by allowing lower wages and technology growth has increased by access to a broader talent pool than was available in the US alone.

There are very few clean economic metrics - in this case you can't directly measure the effect because you don't have data from an equivalent system without the effect of H1b wages in it. So in the end, as with most economic arguments, it is more art than science.
Meh. The bug requires you to connect Windows to a malicious SMB server.

Now that everybody knows that, if anybody is really concerned, they can stop SMB connections from LAN to WAN by blocking TCP 139, 445 and UDP 137, 138.
I think Agricultural sector in India is largely untapped by startup revolution despite being a major force in IT & Software development. It is very very tough nut to crack and majority of farmers in India are not very educated.

ex H1B here. Yes Trump is right.(though I do not like him personally, he is right in this matter) Most of the corporate America is exploiting H1B workers. I have worked in one of those firms and I have friends in many other firms. These are not Indian body shops, these are American companies. Everyone's topic of discussion when we hangout is how our H1B visas were being exploited and there is nothing we could do about it. We were bound to the employer with no hopes of promotion and the long wait for GreenCard (10 years). H1B has become a system to pay lower wages than a skilled visa. How can it be a skilled visa, if the visas are allocated based on lottery ?

So we decided to do something about our situation. We started foraying into the immigration systems of other countries and we decided to use the express entry system of Canada. So we all applied for it ourselves, got evaluated for our skills & degrees and now I am happily typing this as a permanent resident from Canada.

As a longtime windows user: No.

There's no excuse for them to delay patching it without explaining to him in detail why there's a delay, and even if he had been a dick about it, they should've had a very good explanation for the public.

They had neither and that is unacceptable.

Reason being: Even if he doesn't publicize it, someone else might know and be using it without MS knowledge. Anytime you become aware of an exploit one must act as if it already is being abused.
Shooting down one missile is a lot easier than shooting down a hundred. The US has had the ability to defend against an attack from North Korea since the W Bush administration. That capability would barely dent a Chinese attack.
Yeah, I wonder how all those people feel that didn't vote because it doesn't matter, they're both the same?
You can't test properly against emulators like QEMU. Emulators are written to be fast, not accurate (although in absolute terms they are pretty slow), e.g. they execute correct code quickly, but they don't fail to run incorrect code the same way real hardware would do. For example, when I wrote the arm64 Go port, I quickly discovered that the emulator would not cause a trap on unaligned memory access! Incorrect code executed just fine on the emulator. Even worse, I found several other bugs in a span of few days. In the end, I ended up writing my own arm64 emulator before hardware became available. I finished the port on real hardware.

Of course, in principle an emulator could do perfect emulation, but in practice testing Go on an emulator would mean testing and maintaining an emulator as well.

Apart from all that, running the Go test suite in a reasonable time requires a reasonable fast (e.g. server class) computer. Emulators just don't make the cut. And neither do small/old ARM systems.

We could reduce the scope of the tests for embedded platforms, but then somebody would have to step in and work on and maintain those platforms. People always complain when the minimum hardware requirements for ARM are increased, but never offer to step in and help... Personally, I am interested in Go on embedded systems, but I don't have the time to maintain this as well.
1. Great Noise cancelling headphones are very expensive, because only a rare few companies has managed to do the r&d to create great noise cancellation

But if there we're affordable headphones that are software programmable and act as an app store for noise cancellation algorithms, that would definetly reduce the price.

2. One of the ideal ways to recieve ecommerce packages is on your car's trunk. It's possible to build a smart lock for your car that enables the delivery guy to drop packages.

The hard part is making it cheap, making installation cheap, and designing a rapidly growing business model that grows rapidly.

3. Many restaurant use a combi-ovens to reheat frozen food with great results. Combi ovens are now starting to become cheap($300), most of them for the home.

But what about the workplace , where for some places, frozen food may be a good alternative to restaurant ordering(it may be cheaper, for example), but that will require an affordable multi-meal oven, which doesn't exist yet ?

4. Apache Isis is a great, rapid , domain driven framework for business app development. But it's quite complex. There may an opportunity in synmplifying it and introdcuing it to new users. Maybe in a service based form.
Not a lawyer, but the challenge I see with AGPL is that it leaves room for ambiguous interpretation. My reading of it says (paraphrasing) "if you combine AGPL software with your program and that program interacts with others over the network, you must provide the source". Web applications today are often composed of dozens of services and very few interact directly with the end user. Putting a reverse proxy in front of an AGPL app certainly violates the spirit of the license. When using an AGPL database, you might argue that the end-user is "interacting" with it, but I'm not sure. There are also plenty of other use cases where a network service could do something auxiliary to the user's requests.

In the past MongoDB has argued that using their AGPL database without providing source code is fine, Neo4j has argued the opposite. As strictly interpreted it seems like as long as you don't expose the AGPL app to end users you're not in violation. Maybe the license authors intended this, maybe they intended "if you use an AGPL application that in any way affects an end user's interaction, you must provide the source to that end user."
I used perl6 to write a mini-webservice, an API-wrapper for a weather forecast API my bash script is speaking to – I of course don't want users to have to generate API keys, hence the wrapper. Programming that was straightforward, the language itself nice and powerful. But of course I did not really need a powerful language for that task.

I had issues finding the right modules to use, like which webserver to use, with which module to make http requests. But the biggest issue was that the hoster I initially wanted to use doesn't have perl6 pre-installed, and compiling it fails because the compilation itself uses too much memory. I then moved it to a bare metal server, where compiling Rakudo Star succeeded.

The whole Rakudo Star thing, that there are different VMs (that there are VMs in the first place), that there are different module manager, all that was totally confusing. But I liked the language itself a bit, it was nice testing something else.
Not necessarily. It depends on defensive capabilities. It's very possible that two countries get into a conflict thinking it is a mutual assured destruction scenario, only to find out one country is better at neutralizing attacks in-transit.

You're really putting words in their mouth, they never called him evil, not by a long shot. They were just pointing out that this is only one potentially positive facet of a whole series of deeply questionable policies on trade and immigration.

Not a hugely productive comment, but not worthy of the scorn you gave it.

This sounds like a great thing to me. Is the sentiment expressed in the article by MP Nine Kooiman that empty cells means more people should be arrested a common one in The Netherlands?
One way to detect suspect predictions is to look at which ones suggest improvements to things we have today without changing them significantly.

For example, people envision self-driving cars that are exactly like the cars we have today, only automatic. They predict that they will still be big, expensive, complicated, multi-person vehicles. I'm sure that category will continue exist, but why will that remain the norm? The size and complexity of cars are major drawbacks (e.g. storage, traffic, cost). With bicycles, we can see that small individual vehicles have significant advantages due to their size, cost, and simplicity. With self-driving cars, I think there will be room to borrow some of those advantages. Today, we have to build cars with safety as a major concern, but when self-driving vehicles are common, we will not have to. If we are free to relax during a car journey, the ability to travel at high speed may not be such a major concern, either. The typical self-driving car could easily be something inexpensive, small, and simple like the PodRide instead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lKq1fGtXFM
That's fine because Mongo is a company that plans on making money and holds the copyright. If it turns out AGPL is an issue they can relicense.

The worry with RethinkDB was (at least mine and people I talked to) that it can become a liability if the AGPL turns out to be an issue since some third party owns the original copyright and then who knows what happens with future contributions.
I think the word "capitalist" might have been better than "economically developed".

One could argue that Capitalism was the reason Japan went to war against the US. Japan was worried that the US would cut off all oil exports to Japan, so they attempted to gain control of the pacific in order to solidify access to oil. They needed to keep their machine going.

Idk if I would call (pre-wwII, post rise of Hitler) Germany truly "Capitalist" though.
I think you are confusing 'Masculinity' with culture. Pink used to be the manly color as blood is red and you tone that down for polite company you get Pink. Now the manly color is closer to construction yellow or flannel red.

Construction equipment is still a classic boy's toy, where trains are just outside our experience.
It seems to me that H1B supporters are the ones saying there is a correct supply of engineers and that the U.S. is below that threshold.

I'm arguing that the supply is more fungible than that, especially in the long run and especially given a floating price point, and that changing the laws and regulations to solve challenges in particular business models is basically an indirect form of lobbying for special interests.

Higher energy prices lead to less electricity use which leads to less greenhouse gas emissions.
Agreed. Interestingly, it seems McDonalds ends up being the physical space that plays this role for a lot of older folks, both in urban areas (Koreans in Queens, NYC) and rural areas (Chris Arnade has done a lot of interesting documenting of this phenomenon).
Space Buckets: DIY Indoor Gardening with LED and Arduinos
The fear of the GPL from uncertainty certainly sounded similar to some of the arguments 'bcantrill is making against the GPL: it hasn't been tested in court, big companies lawyers' won't use it, etc. But there are big differences between the arguments. The historical worry about the GPL not being tested in court was that the GPL wouldn't hold up, that it would lead to strange outcomes like the GPL being non-enforceable because it's illegal price-fixing (or whatever), and suddenly SCO can take all the code they've distributed under the GPL and start suing people to pay commercial licensing fees.

That's not the worry about the AGPL. It's clearly a valid license; nobody is claiming otherwise. The worry is that it's too valid, and nobody has defined exactly what interacting with it over the network means. If I run a public-facing, auth-requiring RethinkDB server, am I obligated to make source available to anyone who connects to it? If my build system sucks (and most build systems do suck), am I legally liable for not providing a working build script that a third party can use, even if every patch I have is in a public bugtracker?

The lawyers who worry about the AGPL aren't lawyers who worry about FOSS in general, as was the case with the GPL. These are lawyers who encourage use of GPL software, who usually oversee release of code under the GPL, etc. The AGPL is different, or at least is seen differently by lawyers who accept every other OSI-approved license. Calling it "just an updated GPL" may well be ideologically true, but it makes it difficult to address the actual objection to the AGPL that's not an objection to the GPL.

We know, now, that we have "nothing to fear" from open source, but also that commercial software companies should care about the difference between e.g. simple permissive licenses and the GPL. The entire iOS app ecosystem, for instance, runs on a rich community of MIT/BSD-licensed libraries. Nobody "fears" the GPL, but everyone knows not to use it.

In the same way, it's entirely reasonable for organizations to determine that for a specific use case, both simple permissive licenses and GPL-style licenses are fine, but AGPL-style ones aren't.
Is it ok to reach out to you for new grad/junior level position? I have applied to MongoDB few months ago but didn't hear anything back.
I went thru a phase of driving train simulators to relax. Once you get over the learning curve its strangely relaxing to watch the world virtually woosh by, kinda meditative calming. Then there's railcraft mod in minecraft which has absorbed a large amount of hobby time.

The other problem is an aspect of intensity of experience. Building a really small railroad is extremely intense compared to passively watching someone else's video, however nice the video might look. A good analogy of model railroading vs VR railroading would be its like the difference between having sex vs setting relationship status with each other on Facebook. This intensity wall is likely to be a huge barrier along the course of VR adoption. Another analogy would be its like the difference between taking a long trail hike and snapping a pix to remind me of the experience of hiking, vs just finding an pix on google earth of the same vista. The point of the experience was never the pattern of photons on my eyes retina, that was a side effect of the action. Another good analogy is I've been to F1 races and watched them on TV and its an entirely different experience.
* so long as they are biologically adapted to such a diet.

People have been posting similar studies of Indian and Asian countries, basing their recommendations for everyone off that subset of the population, and then completely discount that of traditional European, African, and American diets.
Every tech company I've worked at rejects well over 90% of their applicants and has an interview process that would be considered insane in almost any other field.

Joel Spolsky explains why this does not imply what you think it implies.

tl;dr; Imagine 1 low quality developer who applies to 9 places and gets rejected. There's also 1 high quality developer who applies to 1 place and gets accepted. Look, 90% of applications have been rejected!
I don't know, I guess that really depends on the frequency and context of 'not the first time Microsoft sits on one of my bugs'. I'm not a security researcher but I suppose if I was and Microsoft was sitting on my bugs pretty frequently and they were really serious I might just give them a shot across the bows one fine day.
>Is there something that stops American workers moving to American places that have jobs?

Well, most of Middle America has high home-ownership rates, underwater mortgages, no public transit, gutted public education, and nearly zero public health-care. So yes, a whole lot is stopping people moving: they're broke, stuck with a mortgage, and would have to go further into debt to move, without a job offer.

I didn't think this would come up so quickly! This can actually be fixed with an undocumented option 'gamma'[1]

I would not be surprised if AirBNB has applied their data engineers to the task of identifying these segments; it sounds like a classic unguided ML problem.

To be fair, if more hotels were cozy and made it easier to meet local people I'd be more inclined to go with hotels. They're not _bad_, per se, just kind of sterile.

There are exceptions, of course. I've stayed in small, usually family-run, bnb's in rural Ireland, and Germany's romantic road. These tend to be more charming.
Do they do static analysis of code? The problem is that with other languages they all work "sort of". For example, for Elpy:

"the backends can not always identify what kind of symbol is at point. Especially after a few indirections, they have basically no hope of guessing right, so they don’t"

With go guru it just works, always, no matter how deep you drill into the graph (that's what I meant by "first class").
Sure sails will be used for some limited applications. But Magnus effect cylinders won't be practical for the majority of cargo ships because they consume valuable deck space and interfere with loading operations. They would only make sense if hydrocarbon fuel becomes much more expensive.

> people were happy with what they had in 2003, why change it?

Because the people who were willing to run a Linux desktop in 2003 are not in any way a representative sample of the population. That's like saying "if assembly was good enough for the first batch of programmers, why would we need higher level languages?"
> let's say that a law specifies that vehicles used by some governmental department must be maintained according to the specifications in their respective owners' manuals. Could that be argued to be a type of "incorporation by reference" of the specifications, thus voiding the copyright of the owners' manuals?

No great loss if it does. I don't imagine car manufacturers regard manuals as a profit center.

> what if a private company tried to impose absurd restrictions on accessing copyrighted material that has been incorporated by reference, such that even the governmental agencies charged with enforcing the law were unable to access it? Could that be a way of subverting the law?

The courts tends to be pretty good at dealing with people who try to mess with them through this kind of technicality.

> Or what if a lawmaker has it out for a particular publisher or writer, and purposefully quotes their copyrighted texts (beyond what would typically be considered fair use) in legislation as a way of damaging their copyright?
> And if it is the case that nonprofit groups that devise standards for public safety and device interoperability are deprived of their copyrights because those standards are incorporated into legislation, I would imagine it would disincentivize the work they do, perhaps leading to less well thought out public safety and device interoperability standards.

Hmm. Perhaps lawmakers should have to license materials they want to incorporate, or seize them with compensation via an eminent domain-like process.
