The verse most specific to a "built in" reaction to snake/snake like patterns (per OP) is Genesis 3:15:

"I will put enmity between you and the woman,
and between your offspringe and her offspring;
he shall bruise your head,
and you shall bruise his heel." (ESV)
I took a Linear Algebra course last year: the relationship between linear transformations, matrices and basis was carefully explained and also given a clear geometrical interpretation but the determinant was introduced as some magical matrix function with all the property we needed (multilinear, alternating, ...) and the just proceeded to prove its existance and uniqueness. I have never even thought it was related to area before. Also the justification (in chapter 8 part 2) for the formal determinant calculation to obtain the cross product is amazing.

I'm still not sure what the essence of the cross product is: how it is related to divisions algebra (quaternions and octonions) and how bivectors fit in the context of general vector spaces. This was not in the scope of the course however.
Well, hear it now. I'm judging you.
I've paid for the WSJ for over 15 years. There's nothing wrong with actually paying for good content. That business model doesn't need to go away.
This is a really good explanation of POSIX! The issues with EINTR alone are enough to make you very angry at the standard.
You realize that people work on cruise ships and in sweat shops because that is literally the best opportunity they have? Boycotting their meager employment will hardly make things better for them.
Isn't a nice common interface that those frameworks and higher-level language libraries and interpreters can be written for a nice thing? It's like a nice road network, you sure want to be in your car not on the road, but it's better if most of it is good for the common tire, you don't want to change your tires at every turn.
It's not ridiculous as long as there are Geographers with masters degrees willing to take those jobs.
You mean pirated? It's a logical fallacy to assume that your otherwise non-discovery makes your decision moral.
> what do we do about it

Which we are you asking about?

Since this is HN, I'm guessing you are asking about technologists and founders. I would say they should end surveillance on their users. Stop using ad-tech and analytics that tracks users. Log as little as you possibly can. Stop with the excessive rights grabs over your user's data.

But HN is also a lot of people like me - typical users. To them I would say use ad-blockers every where. Use HTTPS everywhere. When you are asked to give up privacy, consider what you are getting in return. For me, I'm comfortable with using Google services because it feels like I'm getting a lot. But with Windows 10, I'm giving up a lot of privacy for nothing in return.

I have no idea what to say about people like my parents. They have no problem with universal surveillance. Privacy is important only for protecting themselves from fraud. Same goes for my kids. They care even less about privacy than my parents.

Aight, my failing for not digging deeper. I'm on so many things, I couldn't find out about them.
So why isn't it disabled out of the box (on pfSense, not FreeBSD)?
I have to echo what the posters above have already said: I learned linear algebra way back in the day, and it's only now, watching the videos, that I suddenly _got_ matrix multiplication etc. I'm not joking when I say I almost cried with joy. These videos are incredible, and I'm so sad I didn't see them earlier in my life.
Ouch.

Look, no. Grammars look like "the key to the gates" because of the equivalence between grammars-language-automata etc. You can write up grammars for fully Turing-complete languages, or indeed context-free languages that allow you to declare Turing-complete automata.

You can create grammars that display infinite recursion with minimal effort:

A --> ε
A --> Aa
a --> <whatever you please>

So it's not like someone (cough, Chomsky) woke up one nice day and thought "blimey, I'll tell the world that grammars are a powerful tool for modelling hierarchical processes". It's that they are.

We have used grammars in practice to model complex hierarchical processes- except it's only those processes that we already know how to model, because we came up with them ourselves, like the aforementioned Turing-complete ones.

The problems begin when we try to fit a process we hardly understand to a grammar. That is not a limitation of the tool itself. It's a limitation of our ability to use it.
Most famously, this sort of non arguement was a classic defence of the soviet system when compared with the american one.

Being a hypocrite on these issues is basicly unavoidable in the modern world, but the critical point here is that does not make you wrong, nor is it a refutation that such things are bad and should be changed.

Its just an easy trite dismissal to avoid examining the situation.
There are no multiline comments. Guido has said that if you want to quickly comment multiple lines, use a good text editor.
> There's nothing antiquated about a hierarchical filesystem with a single root.

Actually, there’s quite a bit about that.

Having actually a filesystem API that takes a UUID for a partition, and then a relative path within the partition, would solve a lot of problems.

I wish once people realised this, they had the courage to apply this to their own dearly held beliefs, particularly political or social ones - how many of those are just lies repeated ad nauseum that clearly aren't true?

But I think most peoples reaction is just to say "Yeah! that's totally what those other people do that our side never does because we're right.".
Tangent: I'm not sure I can think of recent money I've spent better than a year-long Washington Post subscription.

Not because I want to support journalism (though I do), but because having a whole newspaper to flip through every day is so much more productive and efficient than getting dribs and drabs through Twitter and free news sites --- many of which are ultimately sourcing through the journalism that organizations like WaPo do anyways.

Realizing in retrospect how trifling the amount of money we're talking about for a subscription is (it's a tiny fraction of my monthly information services bill [cable/Internet, Netflix, &c]), I feel kind of embarrassed for not having done this a long time ago.

I like WaPo but you might prefer something else, like NYT or WSJ. I'm sure all the major papers are solid choices. Most of you are younger than me. Don't be like me! Subscribe to a damn newspaper already.
Right. Still, the fact that local variables aren't stack- but overlay- based is enough to blow my mind.
Docstrings are part of the metadata of the object. Comments are not.
Companies own your work even if you do it off the clock, in many cases.
I recognize that review comes from two sources, direct through sales and indirect, through discovery. So I try to make sure discovery reaches people with the best material and spend the most money to move the most people, persuading them to pay along the path of least resistance....

...which is exactly what the WSJ has been doing.
To be fair, Apache not having an overwhelmingly-majority market share is (according to that site) a relatively recent trend.

Interestingly, I took a random tour through the source code and didn't find a single OS specific API. Which is not to say that the code was intrinsically POSIX specific. It is a surprisingly good example of multi-platform code. The #ifdefs that I saw were all to do with defining functionality from scratch if it didn't exist rather than the more usual massively indented list of platform specific hacks. Although I had fairly high expectations, I was fairly surprised at how nice the code was.

I didn't spend all that much time, so I'm sure I missed a lot, but I recommend taking a look for yourself as it is quite interesting.

I did address it, and you are ignoring it. I honestly do not care how insulted you are, or how rude you think I am. You removed any right to be cordially addressed when you pushed non-sense into this board, and then had the audacity to actually treat it as if you were being scientific.

Part of being scientific is asking your own position, "What does this look like if the theory is wrong?" It's called falsifiability. If the PDF you linked had the intellectual capacity and honesty to ask themselves that, then the PDF would have never been published.

Yet you nor the paper have yet to realize, again, some pretty fundamental economic concepts that explain the paper as a whole and why it's completely irrelevant to the conversation at large.

>because the argument I made is for the free market, and the party I cited believes in the free market.

No because they put their blinders on and didn't bother to actually look at any other direction except for the one they wanted to see.

Allow me to be completely straight-forward with my final words: fuck off with your unscientific, dishonest drivel.
it doesn't work very well, even for the little OPN/pfSense do.
Have you applied it to your own beliefs? Which ones? Do you no longer believe in them?
Not unique to the cruise industry. Filipino crews make up a lot of the maritime industry's labor force. Container ships, tankers, offshore drilling, you name it. Some of the best food I've eaten offshore was on vessels with Filipino catering crews.

The cruise ship guys, comparatively, have it good. There are innumerable stories of entire freighter crews being marooned in third world ports by shipowners who didn't want to pay them.

The global shipping industry is, unfortunately, a race to the bottom. Every time that John McCain proposes the repeal of the Jones Act, I cringe with the thought of what it would do to what's left of the American merchant marine.
Funny, I guess he's changed his mind.

As for cost, do you mean that the decline in prevailing interest rates requires setting more aside for a given annuity, e.g. pensions? It that where you get your estimations for worth (as distinct from cost)?
I completely agree. The real problem is pricing.

The difference between absolutely free like most content on the internet and the WSJ standard monthly rate of $33/month is truly enormous. The NYT, which I also feel is priced too high, is $15/month.

Remember Netflix costs $10/month-- that's the value proposition they need to compete against.

These content producers should charge $5/month, with no scummy "special introductory offers" where you just _know_ they're going to raise the price and screw you in a couple months. At that price I would subscribe to everything I read.
Ah! Yes, indeed! Thank you.
Each collision event sends impinges on thousands of various sensors which record energy, charge, and geometry. A tiny fraction of collisions are deemed potentially interesting and recorded for future analysis. Later a physicist could propose a particle model and search the records for candidates.
You are aware that you probably consume other valuable goods and services from companies whose CEOs are just as deplorable, but not as well publicized, right?

If you think a product is valuable, but you don't want to pay for it because you don't like the person selling it that makes you a retributive thief. You don't even have ideology to hide behind, you just don't like someone.
> Not sure how fast your disks were, but 300GB gone in "a few seconds" sounds like a stretch.

That only depends on the # of files. If it's even a thousand files, any modern Linux rm -rf will remove them in less time than a blink.

> The theoretically best thing to do in such a situation would probably be to unplug the machine ASAP after ^C (without going through formal shutdown processes that may try to "clean up" unfinished disk work), remove the disk, attach it to a machine with a write blocker, and take a full-disk image for forensics purposes. This would maximize the ability to extract any data that the system was unable to eat/destroy.

Their infrastructure is cloud based. No way to get a physical disk - if there is a "disk" at all and not a couple of huge fat NetApp filers providing the storage to the CPU nodes. (This is how a couple web-hosters operate)
I have. I'm not going to mention which ones as that would cheapen the general message, which is bigger than politics. And yes, I no longer believe them.
The fear is that capital will own all the means of production and services and what then of everyone else?

Or perhaps become more self-sufficient? The hype around 3D printing seems to have died down. I guess a lot of grand visions weren't realised and a lot of cheap trinkets printed instead but it still contains an idea that should be nurtured: robotics and AI at the grass roots level. Don't let capital own all the means of sufficiency.

Take more. I've been sitting in my living room literally holding my eyelids open seeing a completely different world. I agree 100% about the visual depictions though. Never gets close.
> 30 years

You also claimed that Python 3 was written to fix 30-year-old mistakes. Python 3 has been around of a while now.
You could not have qualified that statement more. It's just hard to communicate ideas because the response prediction engine we build in our minds operates with a high degree of uncertainty.
Conversely it is impossible in dreams to read the same thing twice. Take a book, newspaper and read a sentence. Look away. Try read again, the text/meaning will have changed.

You're confusing popularity with being outdated.

It's irrelevant if some vendors intentionallly go out of their way to avoid implementing any standard interface which, in the very least, can't be controlled by them.

And it's also absurd that you're quoting platforms which even restrict which programming language can be used to write applications purely due to their business strategies.

Thank you for introducing me to a great channel.
Something like this has been my default way of installing Linux for years - and I've installed Debian, Ubuntu (with debootstrap), Gentoo and Arch this way. Typically I just create another partition to my LVM volume group, chroot and install over there and then reboot without removing the old OS install and I run the install procedure from the old OS (instead of booting from a Live CD / usb stick).

I do this because I know it works and there's no guesswork involved in what the OS installer does. They aren't really intended for installing beside another system and the default partitioning options aren't always that great (RAID, LVM, crypto, etc).

Basically you only need 3 things to run Linux: kernel, initramfs and rootfs.

Wikipedia did the same thing for me. They request donations and I used it so often that I felt like I had to.
Yeah, by definition capitalism is amoral. Their obligated to increase shareholder value and that's it. If telling the US Intelligence apparatus to fuck off serves that purpose, then it's a course of action Microsoft must take.

"Doing the right thing" is not what Microsoft cares about on a macro level. It just so happens that in this instance its actions align with the interests of most people.

You're confusing popularity with being technically antiquated or obsolete.
This is a perfect response.

Every day I'm growing more to like GitLab. It took me way too long to realize that GitLab has a singular focus to change how people create and collaborate.

A person purely motivated on principle to see a specific change is going to find a way to make it happen. The hard part with such ideological ventures is that you have to have the business sense to make it sustainable. I'm gradually learning to recognize both aspects present in GitLab.

When you're guided on principle, it's much easier to accept losses here and there in the right way...

> If you want to move from GitLab.com please know that you can easily export projects and import them on a self-hosted instance (and if in the future we regain your trust you can also go the other way).

...and be able to stay focused on the bigger picture! Some customers were going to react this way no matter what. Sytse's response here characterizes GitLab's response as a whole here—we know we did wrong here, we learned from it, and we're going to be able to do a better job here on out regardless of whatever the fallout from the incident is.

Sytse, I love what you're doing and I look forward to seeing your continued resilience and dedication to your goal. The world needs more businesses like this.

This argument comes up often but it's not convincing. You can't have your cake and eat it too. You can't distribute your content on a public (free) medium and also control how people consume that content. If you want control of how people use a thing, the internet is the worst possible choice.

It's really simple, if you want to put your content behind a paywall, then put it behind a paywall. Don't leave a backdoor open and then complain when people use that door.

After suffering through an adventure of trying to ingest threat lists, we built hackedip.org to make it easy to get an email alert if an ip address appears on a public threat intelligence list.

At this point, our lists cover 600M+ ip addresses listed as threats.

There is an API if you’d like to use in a DevOps context (i.e. periodically check if a your servers/containers are running on IP addresses appearing on threat lists, check if a website visitor is coming from a suspect IP).

Would love feedback you have to improve and make more useful.
I keep hearing that you will 'go bankrupt' with every minor health issue in the US. Do you actually live in the US? Have you used US healthcare?

I pay for my own health insurance (because I own my own company) and while not cheap, it's affordable. I think I pay around $250 US/month. I get regular checkups included (most prescriptions cost me $10 or less) and I had a colonoscopy last year and it cost me less that $50.

If I had major surgery, I would be out a couple of grand. While it does have problems, it's nowhere near as bad as many would like you to think.

I applied to Digital Ocean and the recruiter before even speaking to me sent me a link to an online test that tested exclusively for knowledge of how to automate things using Chef. Nowhere is Chef mentioned on my CV as I have not worked with that config management tool, although I have with worked with others Puppet/Ansible. Needless to say I deleted the email. Talk about ridiculous. What a massive fail.

This was the second such miserable experience I had with D.O. I assumed that my first bad experience may have been due to a lack of maturity at the time with the interview process and so applied again a couple years later. Wow, was I was wrong.

I'll agree that a lot of people prefer and recommend things like kqueue+kevent over select/poll. But my experience is that the statement that "hardly anyone uses" select/poll is still erroneous.

On an out-of-the-box installation of FreeBSD/TrueOS, most processes listed by "ps" show a wchan of things like ttyin, select, poll, pause, uwait, wait, or nanslp. On the FreeBSD machine that I am typing at right now exactly one program is waiting in kqread, one of the inner processes of Chrome.

Install my nosh toolset, and a fair amount of that changes, because my programs use kqueue+kevent and suddenly the "ps" output is full of kqreads. But what's left is still not "hardly anyone", by a long chalk.

Would that it were! There's a nasty kernel panic somewhere in the innards of the kevent system on FreeBSD, where a sleeping thread holds a non-sleepable lock, that only manifests itself (at least for me) when there are a lot of programs using kqueue+kevent on a system that is doing a lot of stuff. If more people used kqueue+kevent in more programs, there would be more people wanting it fixed. (-:
I don't take any feedback the wrong way, if you find any mistake, I invite you to send a PR or raise an issue :-)
