Can this enable following scenario:

I've a 10 GB file I want to share with the world. But my bandwidth is usual cable modem and I certainly can't take on 100,000 simultaneous download. Does protocol in Upspin enable peer-to-peer file sharing so I can share large files with the world while still on limited bandwidth?

Maybe a lot of that useful hardware and software was not written or designed by people who own a sheepskin?

Does a sheepskin enable that type of high quality condescension? I guess it's good for something, eh?
> A big problem is that the Linux world loves to fragment itself.

I am using Linux for >25 years. The "big" problem actually turned out a big advantage since I was never forced to go with any immature mainstream.

For instance, when the KDE 4.0 and Gnome 3.0 disasters came which replaced the excellent KDE 3.x and Gnome 2.x desktops I could switch to another Linux Desktop without any hassle.

This would have been impossible with Win 8. Windows users had to endure the pain (someone called it "epic fail") until MS recognized that they made a mistake. Now they have to get used to Win10 which loves to phone home. They have no other option, except switching to OSX or Linux.
I apologise, I wasn't clear. I primarily use IRC, but I also use Bitleebee, but it isn't my primarily protocol(s). I just meant that I could combine all these protocols in one client.

As for Slack's IRC gateway, I think it's pretty decent, yes. I personally prefer it to Slack's own client (again, that's just me). But this is what bothers me about Discord, because that doesn't offer an IRC gateway, and I am forced to use their client(s).

And if you're like me - which apparently few are - and you are in many different communities, that use different protocols to communicate, having a bunch of different clients just means more hassle.

Conservatives are afraid that liberals will change society so that being Christian isn't the default, and so that Christians can't use their group-think against everyone and pass religion-based laws. They're also afraid that liberals will change society so that homosexuality and transgenderism are accepted and they can't abuse and ostracize people like this. Finally, conservatives are also afraid that liberals will change society so that people aren't literally starving to death or dying in the streets if they aren't lucky enough to have a job and medical insurance.

Basically, conservatives want to go back to a time when everyone was nominally Christian, and people were dying left and right due to malnutrition and lack of access to medical care, because Christianity and social Darwinism go hand-in-hand.

> I'm not sure I agree with your premise that Russia was only involved to undermine the legitimacy of the election

I think that explanation is overly simplistic but also more accurate than the simple "Putin wanted Trump" argument.

I think Russia wanted the US leadership to be weak itself and to create cracks within the broad western alliance, and to have the US, where possible, go beyond merely being an ineffective opponent to being an active supporter of Russian interests. To that end, all of the following had value:

1. Casting doubt and uncertainty on the election, no matter who won,

2. Getting Trump elected, given positions Trump had already taken in line with some Russian interests (whether or not Russia actually has particular influence with Trump, though there is certainly reason to believe that.)

3. Casting further doubt on whoever is elected after the election,

4. Creating internal strife after the election (see, e.g., the Russian connections with the "Calexit" movement.)

Nuclear power plants usually dump their tertiary cooling water into the ocean. That's not a great situation for the local sea life (within a few hundred meters, IIRC), but doesn't have much significance beyond that. That is several orders of magnitudes more heat output than could conceivably come off a data centre. So their dismissiveness is likely warranted.

A bit more concerning is the notion of relocating these data centre pods. Long-term "reefs" that are relocated around the world could perhaps be a new and different vector for transmitting invasive organisms. I'm not an expert, but I'd want to hear a few of them opine as to whether this creates any risks that ordinary shipping does not.
> You set up Windows for grandma, installed AOL, and then came back once a month to scrape the inevitable viruses and malware out of her computer until the box was dead, and then you bought a new desktop with more Windows on it

Arguably that's a place where Linux has won in the desktop; all my family uses is the browser, some times LibreOffice Writer and Skype. So I'm guessing like me, many other developers installed Ubuntu or other user-friendly distro for the family so the maintenance described here is down to 0.

This is an incredibly short-sighted comment.

Two CEOs sit down, culture had better be the #1 thing they discuss before one writes a check to the other for the better part of half a billion dollars.

Good M&A adds tons of value by combining two companies who are better together than separate. Bad M&A (Google's acquisition of Nest comes to mind) means fired CEO, delayed/ruined product launches, and incineration of nine-figure amounts of shareholder value. It all comes down to whether the two companies want the same thing.

I won't argue that Atlassian software has no rough edges UX-wise, but that isn't the point. The point is that, when one company buys another, they'd better have roughly the same idea of where they want to go, otherwise you may as well fire up an industrial blast furnace fed by shareholder capital.
Awesome project! Our customers building GraphQL apps on https://scaphold.io would really appreciate something like this.

We currently have a Schema Designer that's fairly intuitive for the most part, and by "most part" I mean developers. Incorporating this tool to graphically show how your data relates would help the less tech-savvy domain experts on Scaphold.io tremendously. Thanks for your awesome work with this and GraphQL APIs (https://github.com/APIs-guru/graphql-apis).

I'd love to help contribute in any way!
Thank you for answering my question.

Unfortunately, I must inform you that that is the answer I feared. There's a strong tendency for would-be "better options" and bootcamps to discard CS fundamentals and theory in favor of practical education. I am of the opinion that this sacrifices long-term practical utility for short-term utility. While seemingly of obvious benefit to those seeking jobs in the not-so-distant future, this is a penalty that mounts later in careers.

Odds are very good that your entire career will not use whatever tools this program has taught you. Odds are similarly good that your time as a junior engineer won't hinge much on abstract mathematics. But odds are very good computers will run on the same mathematics in twenty years.

Even today more interesting work (cryptography, geospatial, distributed systems, graphics) hinges on the sort of mathematical underpinnings that are generally found in a full collegiate computer science education. Of course, all of this can be learned independently, but most individuals struggle to learn crypotgraphic mathematics in such a way.

So really, it depends a great deal on what you want to do with your career. How much you know about how computers work will do a great deal to determine how much flexibility you have down the line. I have had jobs where reasonably complex synchronization problems involving work-stealing and partial orderings over a network were pretty common, and other jobs where `rails g ...` was the most complex thing I needed to know.
Kubernetes Orchestrator Now Available on Microsoft's Azure Container Service
Is it though? There's only 230k words in that list, and most words aren't that long. Building a trie and then trying all the permutations of all of the words seems like it would finish in a reasonable amount of time. Even then O(n^2) approach of comparing pairwise would probably get you to a reasonable time. Especially since this is a one-time thing and doesn't get run over and over.

And your argument is kind of silly when in the very same article when he uses brute force to see how many segments. Shouldn't he have found the most optimal algorithm for that instead of brute forcing it?
The problem you run into when it does come preinstalled is users are not familiar with it and don't know how to use it.

Take this example[0] from years ago when Dell had Ubuntu installed on some laptops. This is an example of an average user. For lack of a better words dumb as dirt. If it doesn't work right away and they can't solve it in under 5 minutes they get mad.

The article also brings up a relevant often over looked point, you need certain software that only runs on Windows or macOS. Libre Office will export to a Word format but the default is set to odt, expecting average users to know how to change format is pushing it. I've gotten in the habit of just exporting all my documents as PDF's because there's no question that the receiver will be able to read it but that isn't something that goes through the minds of most people I imagine.

Is there ever any reason to exercise options with a FMV below the strike price? I know someone who left her job and is in that situation (private company), seems like she should just ignore them entirely and let the options expire. I suppose if she had good reason to believe the company would bounce back they'd be nice to have, but otherwise it seems just like buying stock for more than the going market rate.
I've heard that this is what many data centers currently do anyhow. That when a client "moves on" (moves out, dissolves, etc) - the machines are just left behind, because it costs more to unrack/transport/etc than it does to leave them in place.

This is likely to sound a bit reactionary, but hopefully it will help some people. In my estimation, the Japan Times exists to perpetuate a certain stereotype of Japan to the west. I suspect that it's not so much that the editorial staff holds these views personally, rather that it is lucrative to pander to pre-existing feelings toward Japan. Remember that this is primarily an English language newspaper. Japanese people generally do not read it.

If you use the Japan Times as your primary source of information about Japan, I suspect that you will come away with the impression that Japan is a xenophobic, corrupt, authoritarian, misogynist country that is on the verge of financial collapse. While there is some truth behind these things, the Japan Times has a way of presenting the information such that if you already hold this view, confirmation bias will very satisfyingly kick in.

Why do I mention this WRT to this article (apart from the fact that it is published in the Japan Times)? Because, as far as I know, nobody ever doubted that Japan in the Nara time frame had foreigners living in Japan. Just look at the Wikipedia page for the Nara period. Anyone who has ever been to Nara will have seen the evidence for themselves. Nara was not just open to foreign cultures, it was aggressively adopting them (especially Chinese culture). The fact that there was a Persian living in Japan at the time is interesting, but hardly mind blowing.

So why on earth would you publish this article? To provide a contrast for readers -- Wow, Japan wasn't always xenophobic! I wonder when it started? Perhaps I'm jaded, but that's what I see here. The original question is a good one, because it tries to probe the intent of the original research, rather than to accept the presentation of the editing staff at face value.

Lots of comments already, but 100% this is complete bullshit. If they manage to make it a diverse project (branching into other possible fields) and even if not, this is part of a cat-and-mouse game of placing live electronics for purposes of underwater warfare, espionage and such.

Not really. It's 100% standard to dismiss a judge for having a bias. You can't look at her being Mexican in isolation. When you consider how the media spun his statements on Mexicans, how the judge is a member of La Rasa, and how he wants to build a wall, bias is a very valid concern.

Not quite. On x86_32, for complicated and ultimately ridiculous but nevertheless valid reasons, lots of syscalls on musl use int $0x80. I have a patch to make this fixable but Linus shot it down. Maybe I should try again.

On x86_64, syscalls only use SYSCALL. It's very fast if audit and such are off and reasonably fast otherwise. (I extensively rewrote this code recently. Older teardowns of the syscall path are dated.)

> By it's nature, the Open Source (OS) community doesn't have the man-hours or leadership structure in place to make a coordinated desktop system.

That's wrong. KDE and Gnome are coordinated desktop systems. Why do all people cry out for a single desktop? GNU/Linux (Unix also) and the desktop had always been separated, and I consider this a very good design choice. Right now the Linux community is slowly moving towards Wayland. Thanks to the design of Linux it's no problem to add a new series of desktops to Wayland until the best ones will get obvious, likely two or three again (as KDE and Gnome).

For the past decade or so, DosBox has been a pretty much flawless option for emulation from Win/Mac/Linux: https://www.dosbox.com/information.php.

Before that Windows was pretty much able to emulate DOS environments on its own (for 80-90% of games). The great emulation options is one of the main reason, I've literally migrated my old data from hard drive to hard drive for 20 years. Some of my games were old even when I was a kid.

Same here, speaking as a fellow ADHD sufferer. Perhaps a part of it is because of how IQ is measured. If memory serves (which it often does not) one of the things IQ tests is short-term working memory, something that ADHD is known to impair. Maybe this is the main culprit. It would be interesting to see the IQ scores broken down into their various categories.

Also, the thing you've observed in your friends is similar to something I've observed in myself (this can be pretty fraught, so big grain of salt). I tend to see patterns or connections between lots of little bits of seemingly unrelated data where others don't. I'm not sure if this is because I'm better at discerning patterns, or if it's because I tend to collect and store all these little odds and ends more than others normally do. It's also possibly a 'involuntarily trained' skill: quite a bit of the time I find myself scrambling to deduce what is going on based on contextual clues, because I'd been daydreaming and all of a sudden I find someone asking me "so what's you opinion?"

Frankly it's more of a curse than anything. I sometimes feel as if I'm pleading with someone to "step off the train tracks" because I can see a train bearing down on them, and they adamantly refuse because they see no such thing.

Exactly! I'm sure Rob Pike and Guido didn't go through the typical BS.
