Landlord here with a few questions (one single-family home in USA). I may not be the target landlord but your service is interesting.

What is the incentive for me to use your service by renting to what is essentially a middleman tenant management company? I understand that you are currently in the UK and may possibly be operating in other areas or have plans to do so. What advantages are there for a landlord to deal indirectly with tenants? What value does the middleman add on my end?

I currently screen tenants (been working on that today in fact) so that I can understand who they are, where they are in life and how they view the world. I interview each prospective tenant to help me understand the things about my property that may be problematic for them to use or maintain. At the end of the day I really just want to have tenants who appreciate the work that I put into preparing my property for them to use as a home during their tenancy. I need to have people that I can trust to help me maintain it and to keep it clean for the next guy.

Where does your service add value to my operation other than possibly in pre-screening tenants for me or in guaranteeing that I am paid on time? If you are functioning as a middleman involved in placing corporate personnel in suitable housing at company expense while they are on temporary assignment where do I benefit? What incentive does a tenant using your service have to use the rental property responsibly, avoiding damages and reporting maintenance issues in a timely manner so that the property owner can address small issues before they become major repair problems?

Assuming that the tenant reports a maintenance issue to your service - do you handle service and repair? Do you contact repair person? Do you describe the problem and schedule repair? Do you keep tenant in the loop concerning ingress and egress for repairs? Do you ensure that contractors and service personnel are paid so that there can be no liens placed on my property by unhappy contractors? Do you use your own vetted contractors and tradesmen or do you use mine? In my case, I use people who are very familiar with the property since they have been helping me maintain it for more than a decade.

I'd be interested in hearing your reply.

Also on a different note - I read all the text on the site that I could find. Like others I was initially confused by the phrasing in that I thought you may be offering some sort of tenant locator or screening process service for landlords. I figured it out though. I did find one thing that you should change that I haven't seen mentioned. On the "Our Services" page under the "Documentation" section there is a grammatical error that you should fix. The second line currently says: "Your provide: nothing." You should change that to read "You provide: nothing."

Good luck to you in your endeavors!
To quote the author

> We call touch in the loop here (I do know that the code can be re-written with xargs, so that touch is called only once; but let’s forget about it for now, okay?)...This means there is a new process for each file. This is extremely inefficient. Code in any other programming language will work faster than this one.

WHAT THE HELL??? Did he just criticize Unix/POSIX for its inefficiency after willfully choosing a less efficient way?

He wrote

find foo -print0 | while IFS="" read -rd "" A; do touch -- "$A"; done

When we could have written the very fast and very readable and very simple

find foo -print0 | xargs -0 touch --

I'll put this up against the equivalent implementation in any language you choose.
Bloody awesome.

Its like... adding a turbocharger to a car. Yes, it is possible. There are even kits, after a fashion. But it is still not simple.

Also, its not even at the stage of a hypothetical question yet. This battery would last about two weeks in an iphone under these load conditions. The only reason it "looks" possible is if you're considering a battery that is not this one.

If you tdd, you will write the test for the new code while the old code is still available, and you will use the test as a guide rather than the old code.

Even if you don't tdd, I would say that typically if you understand the code well enough to make a change, you should be able to write a replacement without referring to the old code. The diff should fit in your mind, so to speak. There are some exceptions, like when you're modifying a regex or some dense, opaque shell command, but in the course of modifying typical code I can't see a live diff being that useful to me
... but gets gory. I mean, just-above-Monty-Python level gore, but still maybe not what you're expecting.
Come to think of it, Doom 2016 had only one recognizable human in it - and she was obviously intentionally kept creepy in a very "Dead Space" oriented style. One has to wonder if the goal of that was to minimize the effect you're describing.
Not really. It's quite easy with Crouton installed.

Well there's two problems there: you can easily "reduce" a P problem to an NP-complete one; it's when you do it the other way around (reduce graph coloring to an instance of problem X) that you even have anything to worry about. But yes, worst time bounds for many problems are devilishly hard to achieve even when you're trying.

Portchain ApS | Front-end Software Engineer | Copenhagen, Denmark | https://www.port-chain.com

90% of all goods are transported in containers. The largest container vessels can take on 20,000 containers at a time. The industry is struggling like never before, and is fundamentally inefficient: 50% of all container vessels globally are delayed coming into port, most communication is conducted through phone and even fax, paper is still used in abundance, there can be over 15 process handovers moving a container, and there are large regional differences in performance among players.

We want to change that, and bring the industry into the digital age. Portchain (www.port-chain.com) is a Danish startup founded by 3 McKinsey alums in February 2017 that aims to significantly reduce operational cost and complexity for all players while providing industry leading customer experience. From our office in Bredgade next to Amalienborg, we are ramping up our team from five people to ten over the next four months. As such we are hiring only the highest caliber developers to join our team, and help reshape shipping.

We are looking for a front-end software engineer that can help build a world class front-end application for the shipping industry, and is ready to tackle the challenges of an early stage company. You can help shape the architecture and the technology decisions, enjoy pushing features to production and turn beautiful design into an interactive and flawless web application.
I wonder as to why this wasn't thought of while creating the system? Of course, I don't have experience at that scale, so just wondering.
Since when do street magicians shill for products? The way I see it, it's an attempt to capture forced attention from people who do not have an interest in the product by intermixing it with something they do have an interest in. There is a difference for being payed by people to entertain them, and by being a Trojan horse essentially.
The solid state battery does not have enough power to meet average power demands. The phone would work for a short amount of time, then shut off until the small battery charged again.
Glad I never had a teacher with such an unfortunate attitude. Rubbish/failed experiment - maybe you should ask yourself why you were unable to integrate modern technology into your teaching.
Kudos to that dealer for being able to admit their shortcomings and then grab a talent when they see one, instead of knee-jerk scorn for a customer showing they didn't know about their stuff.
ARM was never particularly power-efficient. ARM was designed for low power, not power efficiency. The only case where an ARM core is more power efficient than a Xeon core is when they're both idle -- primarily because the ARM core was designed to be idle most of the time, while the Xeon core was designed to be in use most of the time.
The important tool: a PhD in applied mathematics that taught me how to think originally and creatively about problems, to abstract and codify them with mathematics, and to approach them numerically and computationally.

What is a first approximation to this experience, particularly the creative thinking portion? As someone with a MS but without a PhD, I suspect you get to flex this ability during the research phase of your studies.

The snark implies a malicious intent on the part of the author and the newspaper that is unproven and undeserved based on any of the reporting I've seen from WaPo at this point.
It doesn't have to be exactly mathematically correct to improve readability. Most of your points are basically "it doesn't look right to me", which is fine, you probably shouldn't use this, but that doesn't mean it isn't useful to other people.

>Don't be fooled. Just because you can make your editor look kinda-sorta like math, doesn't mean it actually is math.

So what? Doesn't make it wrong... this is just window dressing, which can be very helpful sometimes.
Agreed but it was easier when games naturally had "space" for imagination because of technical limitations. It is really hard to self-consciously go back and work inside a self imposed frame when everything else is moving ahead.

Well, you spoiled it, but that's it, the tone change from dull German workplace education film to a full Monty-Pythonesque parody creeps in so that you don't really know when it exactly set in.
There's not a lot of education suppliers for linux. Most teachers aren't techies, so you need a good support network.

On a philosophical level, I abundantly agree that a FOSS system should be in education - which other areas of general education do we train our kids in using Company X's stuff?
z-index exposed
Glad I looked inside the .deb file before I installed this. It does the following things:

- Adds `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/fman.list

- Adds `/etc/cron.daily/fman`, which does this:

#!/bin/sh
update-fman

The `/usr/bin/update-fman` script does this:

#!/bin/sh
set -e
apt-get update -o Dir::Etc::sourcelist="/etc/apt/sources.list.d/fman.list" -o Dir::Etc::sourceparts="-" -o APT::Get::List-Cleanup="0"
apt-get install --only-upgrade fman -y

As far as I'm concerned, it's great to add your repo to `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/` - this allows me to receive automatic updates to fman on my schedule. It's not great to run a script as root that brute forces an update to fman every single day.

Also, if I delete this, it'll just come back when the next update happens.

I'd love to ask Siri or Alexa complex questions! But they can't even handle the operator "and"

So ya know ...

Yes, it pisses me off that "Alexa play X playlist on shuffle" or "Alexa play and shuffle" doesn't work.

And Siri can't do "What's the stock of X and Y" to the point that she actively ignores "and" and interprets it as eithe "in" or "end"

Have you tried EndlessOS ? I haven't, but I would be curious to know what people involved with education think. It is probably better suited for places which don't have good internet, but that aside, I still think it looks promising. I saw their promo video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgUzdb3S2uA), and it has that vibe that Ubuntu originally had when they were new (with the whole linux for human beings thing and free CDs). It also has some new ideas regarding package management with ostree + flatpak.
So sell the gold and buy bitcoins... :-) (JOKE!)
Is this uncommon? I have a 6950X with some "3200MHz" RAM, and it definitely doesn't work reliably at that speed. Nothing above 2666MHz will pass stress tests, even with conservative timings.

Ultimately the memory clock speed doesn't affect performance very much, so I'm not sure it matters.
Apple did not adopt UNIX per se.

Apple failed miserably to create a new OS, decided to buy a company instead and they happened to get the one where Steve Jobs was.

NextSTEP was partly based on UNIX, because it was competing against Solaris and needed some compatibility for easing the port of applications.

It used a micro-kernel like architecture, drivers where written in Objective-C, the whole userspace used the Foundation libraries and the bundles concept, the GUI was based on Postscript engine.

All very little to do with what a UNIX is.

Also if Gassé didn't ask the crazy amount of money he did, Mac OS X would probably be based on BeOS, which didn't have anything to do with UNIX.

I really enjoyed reading your well presented review of the present situation. In a philosophical sense, you seem to share many observations in common with Dimitry Orlov and Howard Kunstler.

The biggest stumbling block to your vision is that very few people want to work in agriculture. It is too hard, dirty, unglamorous, uncool. The highly educated youth want to work in flash offices on the latest smartphone app. Then you have the big agribusiness who own the political system and exploit it to their own ends. As you have noted the situation is dire in first-world countries. These countries have moved from an agrarian economy to to capitalistic one. Ecology be damned if it gets in the way of greater profits.

In countries such as Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, etc - man power is not an issue. A sufficiently large proportion of the population still work on the land. Due to their low capital resources even cheap robotics are infeasible.

China is a special case. Whilst they have a massive population, a very large proportion of their country is of low agricultural potential. But they, like Japan in the 1980s, are gravitating to the cities - it is a prestige thing for many. When they are looking to Africa, it isn't just the land they are eyeing, they are looking at the large potential low cost workforce already there. Basically re-inventing the colonial ambitions of the British, Dutch and Germans in the previous century.

By 'shortly', you mean ~650 million years? I'm not sure I'd consider that 'shortly', especially given that it's only been that long since the Cambrian explosion.
My comment was in the context of engineering (as that's what I interviewed for). Executive-level positions are a lot more nuanced.
I think Intel severely underclocks the 6950X by default, so that it fits within the stated TDP of 140W with all 10 cores at full load. If you have adequate cooling, it is very easy to overclock. I think I ended up at 4.2GHz for 10 core loads, 4.4GHz for 4 cores.
I've been teaching at Stanford for the past few years and 95% of the students I've had are all on Macbook laptops. Still have to adjust/manage the 1 or 2 students on PCs. That said, I'm glad to hear that iPads are being phased out in the primary/HS grades. Other than games, I haven't seen many made-for-iPad software that show parity with desktop counterparts when it comes to word processing, spreadsheets, photo/video editing/management, etc. I'm going to assume that the state of the art in interactive books is much further behind.

Reprintable Paper Becomes a Reality
How much hardware have you used? I regularly find machine that crash, see errors reported in mcelog, and when I run memtest no errors. I'm guessing that memtest doesn't use a challenging access patterns, or something about powersaving/clocking that runs it a bit slower.

In any case I LOVE ECC. Sure random radiation caused bit flips are relatively rare. But it's REALLY nice to see high levels of ECC errors when something died and not have to wonder if it's the flash drive, power supply, graphics card etc. Sure sometimes its the dimm, sometimes it's the motherboard, sometimes it's the CPU. But with ECC errors you can much more quickly/easily tell if it changes when you swap things around.
Definitely going to check this baby out! I often find myself in client networks on their machines and often run into having to connect to multiple types of SQL databases. It is a pain to lug around 5 tools that arn't statically compiled.

Of course there is a runtime, even C has a runtime.

All programming languages, other than Assembly have runtimes.

From the point of view of compiler design a runtime is everything required to support a programming language execution.

On C's case, calling main (), floating point emulation, initializing globals, parallel code execution, thread locals.

The problem is neither of your analogies are appropriate.

A reasonable analogy would be ads cheerleading nuclear power after a nuclear power plant explosion killed thousands and permanently ruined a region of a country. And an ad just played that tried to garner sympathy for the children of women effected by the nuclear blast.

A reasonable analogy would be additional regulations on airplanes after they killed thousands of people in a terrorist attack.

The CEO/founder was into "The Game" and the Red Pill and he made all the male engineers go out in SOMA to try seduction techniques, as well as go to strip clubs. Our married and ltr engineers hated it but still had to show up and participate in this nonsense in order to fall in line and stay a "culture fit."

As you can guess, we routinely lost admins and female engineers who were generally solely hired on attractiveness and not talent, knowledge or skill.
