I used to go to Temple in Philadelphia and the amount of crime that took place on or near campus definitely warranted its own police department.

North Philadelphia isn't the safest place to begin with, but 28,000+ college students fresh out of the nest make easy targets for criminals. There's likely around a dozen "incidents" almost daily. Of the 2 or 3 years I was there, two students were murdered, another committed suicide in the middle of campus, and a few others were shot and survived. The campus police department does its best to make a safe zone around campus with either uniformed officers and/or safety officers on the corners every few blocks outside of campus.

I think one of the reason why people disable AppArmor/SELinux is due to bad experience spending hours trying to figure out why their service fails to run after a config update only to realize it was blocked by AppArmor/SELinux. They'll just disable it and says "good riddance".

If you're running a headless server and can't figure out why your service suddenly can't start after a seemingly simple configuration updates (changing port, changing data directory path, etc), be sure to check AppArmor (Ubuntu) or SELinux (Red Hat distros) logs first.
Wouldn't that then imply that you would get worse service from Fedex and UPS, where the drivers have more to gain by cutting corners? But the reality is really the exact opposite.

Your tax/public expenditure curves cross roughly when you turn 62. By 70 the government spends on you more than twice what you pay in taxes. 75 it's 3 times as much. 80, it's 4.5. The expenditure curve is pretty much asymptotic by that point.

Whether he was at fault or not isn't the issue I was addressing, people were calling him a racist in connection with that, and in connection with many other things in the time between then and his run for President.

Preface: I really love what you guys are doing but...

I really don't think you guys appreciate how many Scala/Clojure/Haskell devs would love to work in F# but can't because of the tooling.

Also equating the type of work being done with C# to the type of work being done F# by just comparing developer numbers is incredibly naive.
It'd be interesting if they took over one of the carriers they've contracted with (ATI or Atlas). The company is vehemently against organized labor, yet both companies have unionized pilot groups.
How many have you bought? The last time I bought a non-touch laptop -- last year -- I quickly realised my mistake, took it back and paid more for one with a touch-screen.

Anything without a touch-screen just feels horribly broken and out of date now.

Otherwise I'm not sure what your complaint is. I see lots of people happily using touch screens for all sorts of purposes. That includes smartphones, tablets, convertibles, laptops and desktops.

I don't really see why something that works on screen sizes from 4-inches to 28 inches (Surface Studio) across multiple form factors should somehow not work on some particular device.

> the more intensive creative work that laptops are better for, it does.

Not sure what you mean, here. Laptops are less powerful than desktops and ergonomically inferior. They are not better for anything except moving around.
> So developers have roughly 9 months to update their apps or they won't run on 5 year old hardware? This doesn't sound as devastating as some of the tweets and headlines would imply

Older apps that users have paid money for a while back, that work and are in use right now, but that developers haven't received much income for in years since everyone that wanted them has already bought them, will stop working for users that upgrade their device.

Cue user complaints, but no extra money coming to deal with them.

Apple have unilaterally decided it's time to burn something; developers have roughly 9 months to choose whether it is their time and money or their users' possessions that get burned.
I like your analogy, but I would flip the metaphors. Gluing is fast and easy, using screws requires time and effort.

This the use of CR without LF on a virtual TTY. On a real TTY or typewriter there is less use, but as one user pointed out one could remove information like a password which was printed.

LF without CR is something that one would do on a typewriter for typing tabulated data or mathematical formulae. It's just a way to go "down" but stay at the horizontal position you were previously at.
I am a contractor, and I find a lot of benefit in working under this paradigm. I think the idea that the government should protect people from their own choices is quite an unpleasant one, as someone can always switch from a contractor back to an employee if they find it unsavoury.

Benefits I enjoy from contracting:

- B2B transactions mean I can retain some cash in the business for investment while paying myself a good salary.

- My performance is more important to my role because I can be easily let go - I prefer to align my interests with those of my employer in this way.

- Being a contractor also means being a consultant to an extent. I am trusted to bring in expertise to improve processes and I enjoy having a positive impact in this way.

I agree that the ongoing issue with labour exploitation with things like zero-hours contracts, forced contracting and using apprenticeships to force lower-than-minimum wages are bad, but they don't take away from the value of contracting itself. In an attempt to address labour exploitation, IR35 and other measures are also becoming major problems for legitimate contractors too.
> I feel that if Android were being developed today, they'd almost certainly take .NET Core as the runtime.

Or they can switch to their bitcode bundles for Mac apps like the iOS apps and transcode for Intel / ARM on delivery. Plus they have previous form in this area with the "run PPC apps on Intel" via Rhapsody (IIRC.) It'll be a stumbling block, nothing more.

As a cyclist it happens all the time, it goes something like this:

2) They stop at the next traffic light, I tap on the window to tell them to be more careful.

3) They get angry at me.

4) Other drivers see this interaction and soon you see articles in newspapers complaining about "militant cyclists"

You misunderstand me. I'm saying that Parliament should do what they think is best regardless of the referendum results. I don't have a strong opinion about Brexit but I have a high opinion of British democracy and I don't want it messed up by referendums on everything the way California's has been.

MPs have a huge advantage in that they have staff and experts willing to answer their questions, that makes a big difference. Direct democracy could work if, for every decision we rounded up everybody and forced them to sit through a day of debate on the issue but not with the way they're currently conducted.
You are completly missing the point.

If you create a Python lib, 10000 people will pip install it. You have no control on the env.

If you create a deb package, you will see ppa and it will be installed on many various env. You have no control on the env.

Again, you definitely have no experience in shipping software outside of your bubble.

A lib is not "a web project". A cmd line tools is not either. You still need to debug them. People will run them on windows, linux, mac, bsd, and who knows where. And they will come for you.

Now you can choose to simplify the problem and only support a limited number of env. But I guess I'm quite happy the guys who created apache, ffmpeg didn't force me to only used them on Linux with LOCALE set to accept only ascii and CEST.

At my last gig we enabled SELinux as part of our PCI security procedures, I highly recommend it but be aware that there is a fairly big ramp up.

It pretty much doubles the effort for most sysadmin tasks, even simple things like tweaking a server setting become multi-step processes.

In my case, it was part of the reason I switched the team from DevOps only and brought in a real sysadmin.
So why isn't screen or minicom a valid reason to "avoid bloat" in supporting a serial line interface and scrollback support natively isn't?
I could not find anywhere what binary dependencies this has, and I would be very curious about that since it is advertising "Open SOurce Software".

"We have been conditioned to appeal to authority in disputes rather than handling them ourselves."

Well that is how a dignity society operates; ignore it, or draw on authority. The alternative is an honour society, and those produce far worse outcomes for almost everyone. The problem here isn't that people appeal to authority in disputes; it's that people's idea of what constitutes a dispute is broken.

It is possible. In fact, we have proof suggesting it's possible (me and millions like me who grew up that way and lived) while we have no proof suggesting otherwise. It's not like children died en masse due to being allowed outside, so people decided it was a bad idea. People just became obsessed with their children's safety and stopped letting them outside just in case. At no point was there some large-scale problem of children dying due to being allowed to roam.

The only large-scale problem was the anxiety suffered by parents who started obsessively worrying about their child, and maintaining tighter control over children is mainly medicine to alleviate their anxiety.
"32 bit clean" meant that the ROM didn't use pointer tagging; otherwise it was using the top 8 bits for its own purposes and wouldn't run on machines which used the full 32-bit address line.

> * all platforms are equal citizens

This may be true for the Core CLR specifically, but it's not true of real .NET apps that are being built today. The vast, vast majority are strongly tied to the Windows platform, especially because of the lack of a cross-platform GUI like you mention. As a Wine developer, it's a huge pain in our side because we either have to run the entire .NET virtual machine, which is hard, or depend on Mono, which is by design not completely compatible. This results in really souring my opinion of .NET and .NET applications when compared with win32 applications that do tend to work quite well in Wine.
But then when Android was initially developed and acquired by Google Apple wasn't in the phone business at all, so the base architecture was already laid down long before the race started.
