It's the way kernel update come in apt. The kernel update is a new package, not an upgrade of a previous kernel package. Thus the old kernels are left in place and the new ones installed alongside. After about 3 kernels have been made available in /boot the previously recommended size for /boot is full and attempted update to a new kernel fails.

It can be manually fixed by removing older kernels ("sudo apt purge ...").

Perhaps I'm mistaken but i thought a fix was in place for this, maybe it was something third-party but apt definitely offered to remove unused kernel package for me recently.
Anyone see anything about how they handle simultaneous incoming faxes to the same number? With other faxing APIs we've used, if we get a new inbound fax while another is being received, the second (new) inbound fax will get a busy signal and not get procewsed.

Phaxio has said they can handle any number of simultaneous inbound faxes, but we haven't had a chance to try them yet. It would be nice to know if Twilio is an option.

A reply that was deleted mentioned that some engines use Monte Carlo simulations which are non-deterministic (?).

My experience with chess engines being non-deterministic is that if I pick the same opening I don't always play the same game with the same engine. I really might just be off here, and that variance might be related to random artificial handicapping.
A large part of getting the MBA is the piece of paper saying you have one, and another large part of it is the network you form while getting it. Things you can't really get online.
Exactly. You probably don't want this thing that is essentially a namespace to be indexable, but you index into it, which is a bug, but it quacks like a tuple, so your mistake propagates silently, which is a bad thing.

Its more permissive than one would expect. Although the bigger issue is what dragonne mentioned.

I like where you're going trying to game it... but... I also like not relying on other people to make correct decisions when I drive. When I drive to pass them, I just have to work around them, that seems safe enough -- I'm not making them drive any different than they normally would. I can weave in and out of traffic, and they never have to hit their brakes or accelerate or change lanes to react to me. But... me trying to go as far as I can without using my brakes, that seems like it'd force others behind me to have to engage their brain and make more changes than they normally would... I don't really want to makes others have to think when driving. People are idiots. Duh, right? So me not wanting them to have to react to me is more for my safety than theirs.

An example... I drive a manual and there's a long slow hill with a stoplight near my house. I don't need to tap my brakes, I can just coast up it and come to a stop by the time I hit the light... but inevitably some idiot see me slowing down a half-mile before the yellow light and doesn't get why (see your comment about them not looking past the car in front of them). Anyway one day I was out driving and this idiot teenager in a massive SUV ran into me with like a 30 MPH difference. Totaled my car, and jacked up my back. Her claim, "I didn't see your brake lights, so I didn't know you were slowing down." (The things people say after an injury accident are pretty astounding -- why you should always get witnesses contact details as well as call a cop.) Of course the whole thing was ruled her fault, but 12 months of PT and years later my back still hurts from time to time. Also... wrecked a perfectly good Honda S2000. So now I just go as fast as I can right up to the light, like all the other lemmings, and mash my brakes when I get there. (=

> Like the war on drugs it is nonsensical to focus on the supply when the demand is so great. A population addicted to fake news, a population that wants to be propagandized, a population that will gather online in forums and message boards and self-propagandize, is going to find and consume fake news and generate conspiracy theories no matter what.

Interesting. And like drugs, people reach for fake news because they don't like reality.

So maybe the real question becomes: Why is reality so unsatisfying for so many people? It seems like there's an emotional gap that people try to fill with drugs, and a somewhat-emotional-and-somewhat-cognitive gap that people try to fill with fake news.

I'm not sure the Phaxio pricing is all that much higher than Twilio. They're covering failed faxes, cancelled faxes, faxes that require multiple retries, and faxes that just take a long time — only charging per page delivered. Those will all eat up minutes that you'll pay for with Twilio.

In any case, their pricing model has been far preferable to their old competitor, Interfax: https://www.interfax.net/en/prices
Flavor: Ubuntu desktop

Headline: Switch from Mir to Wayland

Description:

A disclaimer: I'm not using Ubuntu, but I'd like to see the switch from Mir to Wayland for Ubuntu, or even better - making Mir a Wayland compositor. That would benefit Linux desktop as a whole, instead of creating another rift. Current direction that Mir is taking is causing damage to global Linux community.

To give context. Mir was started, because some Ubuntu developers saw deficiencies in Wayland (which later was proven to be incorrect). Over time, Mir started borrowing stuff from Wayland compositors and input libraries anyway, and now simply mirrors most of what Wayland does.

TL;DR there is no valid reason for this rift, and it should really go away. This will make life easier for graphics drivers developers, GUI toolkits developers, SDL (and the like) developers, various developers of applications like screen recording and so on. And having this rift benefits no one.
So do it. But it has to be fair.

"Democrats want citizens to be raped and murdered by illegal aliens"

Rape is already a crime and illegal aliens commit these crimes at lower rates, so from a rationale of preventing rape/murder/{insert violent crime here} spending resources on a group that's less likely to do it isn't a good solution.

"Democrats want to keep high health costs to the benefit of the insurance companies"

Actually their favored policies like Public Option would destroy insurance companies. Also, single payer systems prevent buyers from competing, and as patio will tell you, when buyers can defect, you can raise your prices. Meanwhile sellers still compete. So single payer systems achieve lower prices for the same outcomes around the world. (As the data around the world proves.)

"Democrats want to keep increasing taxes while spending it on frivolous pursuits, often on programs to ensure their re-election (by entrapping people into economic slavery)"

This may be true. :)
Phaxio founder here.

Our pricing might seem higher (and may be in certain situations), but it works a bit differently that Twilio's. Twilio charges you the 1c _plus_ the costs of the call. Phaxio is an "all in" rate _including_ retrying the call. And, at Phaxio, if the calls all fail there's no cost to you.

I'm not saying that we won't adjust our pricing (#competition), but there's a difference in the actual unit cost.

I did that too, and my teeth were in bad shape (already falling apart) so it was a difficult procedure. Not painful, but very uncomfortable. The worst part, I think, was seeing my blood splattering on the dentist's faceshield. I don't remember much about the procedure (over 10 years ago), but I remember that.
For us — we send out requests for medical records to doctors' offices. When doctors send records back to us, they usually include the cover sheet we sent over. Since that cover sheet has a barcode on it, we know which record request the incoming records are for.

Lobby to change policy or provide an exception? Now it's possible that I'm fundamentally misunderstanding Debian policy, but in this case it seems like it's not helping and is rather just hamstringing things by breaking user experience. This seems like a very legitimate exception case where bundling does make sense to ensure that core infrastructure works out of the box. Furthermore, if instead of bundling these packages the pip people had written code internally that does what these packages do, then there wouldn't be any discussion. It really seems like a semantic quibble over a minor point that's spurred by following the letter of the law rather than the spirit. But the effect is a horrible experience for everyone involved.
The article mentions that a growing population has helped the Australian economy.

Being awake while operated upon is the worst horror scenario I can imagine.

It's not worse than medical bankruptcy, or thousands in bizarre and excess medical bills. I was awake for a very minor operation due to financial fear.

The healthcare system is bizarre. I literally could not get upfront fee quotes from doctors (or anyone else) for the procedure. It was maddening and made me wish for mandated price transparency: https://www.aei.org/publication/an-antidote-for-obamacare-ca...
I too have had mine removed under only local anesthesia, and fairly recently at that (in my early 30's). It's interesting to see some people say it was a horror show while others said "It wasn't so bad", since I've experienced both!

The reason why I finally had my wisdom teeth removed, was that I had one of them in my lower jaw, that was growing in almost sideways into the molar in front of it, causing a large abcess in the tooth. My dentist was surprised it had never caused me pain before this (I had spent a few years bouncing around, and hadn't gone to the dentist for years, so the fact it got so bad was likely entirely preventable...)

Anyways, because of the way it had grown pushing into the other tooth, the roots of the wisdom tooth were very curved (not quite fishhooks, but close!), so the procedure took a couple hours, while under only local anesthesia, where I could hear and fell him drilling, and chiseling, and digging in my jaw to remove the tooth in pieces. At one point in the middle of the procedure, he needed more images to see what was left, and left large metal pins in the holes from my roots as reference points of how far he had gone into my jaw so far. He gave me the warning "You really don't want to bite down while these x-rays are done", hah! Needless to say, when all was said and done, this was a pretty painful recovery, and still had bits of broken tooth root and bone pushing out of my gums for a few weeks after.

On the other hand, when I removed the wisdom tooth from the opposite side of my jaw, to keep things even, it had grown in straight, and was a very simple procedure where the tooth came out in one piece, and I had very little pain in recovering.

Everything had healed up beautifully now, and the dentist was able to save the abcessed molar, but man, I don't want to go through that again ever, and I can total understand why some people elect general anesthesia for such a procedure, since it really is a crap-shoot on how "simple" of a procedure it is. General may have its risks, but I'm sure people being scared to ever see their dentist again comes with risks as well!
>> "... a tool being purpose built for illegal activity."

Attempting to discern the author's design intent ex-post-facto strikes me as very difficult.

Also, this does not admit the possibility of a tool being designed for a nefarious purpose, but later turning out to be useful for beneficial purposes.

E.g. A rifle designed to kill people later turns out to be great for deer hunting (trivial example but you get the idea).

Didn't Friendfeed invent the Like button?

The article goes too far but there is something to be said about its core argument.

I don't think the Like button or emojis are good at recognising Value. A popular extrovert with 1000 fb friends uploads a selfie and gets 100 Likes.

Meanwhile a quiet but conscientious person uploads a before and after picture of a litter-pick they have undertaken and they get 2 Likes from their 50 friends.

There has to be a better way of recognising and incentivising the latter activity across social networks.

The short answer is 'yes' — fax machines are actually a pretty great solution to this problem. If you think about it, there isn't really that much overhead for having a fax line and a $40 fax machine vs running a full computer + printer combo, set up is trivial, faxes have a very well-understood track record, and the 'sender' gets direct feedback on whether or not the physical document was successfully delivered.

If there's a software gap here, it's being filled as features in modern Point Of Sale systems. That space is really crowded right now (Revel, Clover, Toast, 'more modern' offerings from legacy providers like Micros and NCR). There may be an opportunity to provide a more niche offering rather than a comprehensive solution like those, but the space is far from empty.

Just a single bit in the header, saying that someone else did the cryptography for you.

It does suck some bandwidth - and your point is well taken, that would be a great technique too. It loads about one new page per minute, so it shouldn't be a crazy amount (unless pages contain video, for example). The thing is, anything less than visiting from your own browser on your own machine and doing user-like things (like waiting and then clicking again) is easily filter-out-able for most tracking tools. The idea here is to purposefully associate the "noise" with your online footprint.
