Everything is not fine, however. We are currently experiencing the effects of global warming. In the first world we are largely insulated from this but we've seen more frequent severe weather (of the 15 busiest hurricane seasons on record -- with records dating back to the 19th century or so -- 10 have been since 2000). Severe drought and heat have also become more common. We've seen migration patterns of wildlife change and that has lead to impacts on communities that rely on those for their livlihood (native communities for example). We've seen the sea level rise 88mm since 1993. There have been real impacts. Just because we don't feel it in the first world, doesn't mean people haven't been impacted.

Tunnel machine Bertha expected to break into daylight on Tuesday
That is only true if the costs of the return trip is free: it isn't. When the car for the guy who arrives downtown at 7am goes back to the suburbs to get the guy who wants to arrive at 8am it is burning nearly as much fuel as it did getting in, and putting just as much wear on the car. The effect is shared cars are more expensive than just a car per person. (Note, this does not account for cost of parking which is a significant factor)

Oh really?

I don't care for the way the my Microsoft Windows computer changes focus between windows. I'm sure a quick change to DWM.exe (Desktop Window Manager) would make me much happier as a user. I'll even do the work myself.

Can you tell me where I can go grab the latest source code for DWM, so I can make those changes?

I don't think it's possible for a home user. And I think it's important.
(If I'm wrong, I'd love to be corrected.)
I like your idea of startup analogy.

I'd propose its more like you have two partners who hate each other viciously and spend all their time scheming for their dominance and submission of the other. Meanwhile there's programmers trying to ship a MVP. Now as long as the partners verbally argue constantly, they can't screw up what the programmers are trying to do. But if one partner gains total supremacy then they'll need something to do all day, someone to verbally spar with, like maybe the programmers. As long as they argue loudly progress can be made, but once the micromanagement boom falls, all progress will cease, in fact retrograde progress will begin regardless of who "wins".
We are not talking about abusing of H1B, but when the candidate really satisfies the requirements and the salary offered is on par or better compared to local worker at the same level. So we agree that "importing" skilled people is good for the country.
No, it's exactly what ad hominem means. Technically, it means "criticizing the man", as opposed the argument. But modern usage absolutely encompasses "criticizing the source" as opposed to the argument. See how your last reply also does that?

The Bloomberg article makes the same basic point as DWN, which implies that the exact opposite of what "Remain" promoters predicted is happening. Many EU countries are tanking financially, with e.g. Italian banks requesting big bail outs to avoid collapse. Meanwhile capital is flowing into Britain. Focusing on the shades of spin in these various publications (which, yes, is there) sort of misses this main fact. I agree the Bloomberg article would have been a better choice on my part, sorry about that.

Apparently it's politically uncomfortable for you, but the evidence is mounting that letting the pound fall was what Britain needed to stimulate its economy. Deutche Bank has no political reason to recommend investors leave Germany, which was supposed to be the strongest country in Europe and invest in Britain, so a likely explanation for DB's recommendation is that it reflects the economic reality.
Seconded. I use + love BetterSnapTool. Works great.
Did what people were telling me to do and it got me nowhere

There will always be people who give you bad advice. I know it's cliche to beat up on the "everyone gets a trophy" mentality that has grown in dominance, but maybe this is a legitimate beef against it. If kids grow up thinking that there are no winners and losers, how do they learn to discriminate when it comes to important matters like college, degree, and career choices?

I just wish the guidance counselors talked about the ROI of particular degrees

My guidance counselor in the 1980's told me to stay at an in-state school in Louisiana with a recommendation, "Why are you applying to Georgia Tech? That's so far from home." I ignored her. She meant well, but I didn't trust her to tell me what was best for my future.
This is contradictory too, can I afford a $5,000 license haha. But that's something I'd like to be able to use in the future as I'm also interested in mechanical engineering/prototyping.

I mean visual representations something like SketchUp is great, free easy to use. My friend has a 3D printer and can produce STL files. I've used SolidWorks before. Yeah I don't know, I'm just rambling excuse me.

I've heard of Warez.

I'm also aware of free options like FreeCAD which I loaded on Ubuntu, pretty cool.

This comment resonates with me.

After leaving university, and moving on to a full time position in a suburb I feel completely disconnected. I didn't attend a ~huge~ school, but the sense of community was there. The lack of this feeling has been hard to explain, but this comment explains it very well.

I'm not sure if I will(or can) ever do something about this feeling either.
They aren't measuring misery, they're measuring traffic flow.

I absolutely take your point. Just saying that wasn't the focus.
It's still there though, isn't it? Granted you don't see it in the Start Menu, but it remained installed on your system. God knows if it's not having its own process at launch, doing similarly nasty stuff?
What Every Business Can Learn from Ikea and Apple Store
Jared Diamond devotes a whole chapter of his book Collapse to this question. The one cause that struck me the most (Diamond only mentions it in passing) is that they apparently didn't eat the fish.
I saw him thread a muzzle and priming rounds. It looks very much like they are getting 99% done guns and just assembling them, or making stocks or converting them to select fire, which happens in Mexico already. That's just a technical redefinition of what a "gun" is. However even if Mexico was forced to make do entirely with 90% lowers, it would still be a massive restriction in volume. The number of lowers is way, way smaller than the number of guns that are made every day.
The value of "mentorship" or "internship" at FOSS projects are overrated, most of this projects run without clear goals and improvements are made only by "interested parties" like intel wanting their technologies to run better on Linux or the devs at GitHub optimizing "Git" for the sake of their business operations but yet not a single improvement on the UI side (obviously because it will hurt their business if suddenly people realize how easy could be using Git without GitHub).

I don't know how much they pay staff/beat writers, but lots of published pieces are freelance, and people get paid a few hundred bucks for them, tops.

There are a lot of people willing to write for cash. A permanent position as a writer is highly coveted and extremely competitive, which means that not only is it really hard to get such a job, but they don't have to pay much.

Most "journalists" today are starving artist types.

I would argue that "journalism" as a profession is dying. With the internet, we all have direct access to the news. We're no longer dependent on someone's reporter to come back and tell us what happened, and we don't need people in an ivory tower to attempt to interpret or even collate it; we do that ourselves with aggregation platforms.

The future does not look good for people who want this to remain a viable career.
> BDN is a use at your own risk site.

I'm curious, what risk(s) do you mean? If you mean NSFW and disturbing violence, you're right, and I apologize to anyone who didn't get that - I assumed given the topic it would be self evident.

Also I second your endorsement of Borderland Beat, that's what I actually read as a non-Spanish speaker.

The statistic to highlight in this debate is the number of gun-related deaths per gun owner, not per gun.
The FSF has spent decades now promising that future versions of the GPL and related licenses would be in the same spirit as existing versions. But that promise depends on their definition of "in the same spirit," which is nebulous.
Notepad??? OS X has shipped with both emacs and vim since Day 1. I'm sorry, but you seem quite unfamiliar with Macs.

You are correct, I would never suggest anyone have an FTP client; I have that service turned off on every machine I administer. SSH / SFTP are fundamental tools however.
I recently installed Windows 10 as a secondary os on my laptop for music making.

The biggest annoyance was configuring the system to not get in my way: Never ever put something in the front of the app I'm working in, forcing a change of context. Don't use up all of the bandwidth when downloading updates in the background, etc. This was much less of a hassle the last time I used OSX. Apple might give you less options for configuration, but at least out of the box it is/was much less disruptive.

Overall I like the look and feel of windows 10, and some of the problems were caused by third party software. I do think a lot of the defaults actually make sense for the mass market, but they should be much more transparent and easier to change.
For example, I expected disabling Cortana during installation would, well, actually disable it.
I'm honestly curious -- could you elaborate and perhaps cite some examples of such legislation?
bettertouchtools snap areas are just as good plus once you add custom touchpad gestures things get pretty amazing imo
Yes, and they only exist because the government turns a completely blind eye. If you had a choice between all guns coming from America and all guns being made in Mexico, the government can do something about the latter but absolutely nothing about the former.
I agree that it is a fair assessment, the problem is the perspective. They want to facilitate integration of Open Source code into proprietary code, not the other way around. I would interpret these statements to be read as "Linux Foundation has no respect for FOSS." Because apparently they don't accept what "free" stands for in "Free and Open Source Software"

> These requirements present serious risks to the preservation of proprietary software rights.

Which is why the GPL can be called "more free" than the BSD licenses. Code licensed under it is not "appropriable". In my view, that's a feature. In their view, that's a "restriction". I don't see how I should want other people applying their proprietary (read: way more restrictive than the GPL) licenses or not share the code at all. They want to, I don't want them to. Different perspective.

It is clear to me that the GNU/Linux world would be very fragmented, if it existed at all, were it not for the GPL.
Counterpoint: things are pretty good.
It's more than just higher education. The previous generation was addicted to easy credit. They used it to enrich themselves and solve every single social problem. That trend will probably continue until millennials take their place running society. I really do think that will be the major shift in American society, way more than Trump.
Smell of Data
Actually it would serve Apple very well. Most of Apple's profit these days comes from iOS devices, and more macOS in the hands of users would definitely lead to more iOS adoption.

Also, systems would be available to suit power users - Apple currently offers exactly zero in that space. Power users influence many buying decisions beyond their own systems. It would be good if macOS could be seriously used for hard-core science and engineering.
Population growth is leveling off. Short of going out and murdering a hell of a lot of people, there isn't much more that can be done on that front.
OMG I can't beleive anyone cares about the app's hurt feelings!

Now seriously, this is amazing, so unprofessional. The company really mixed up things based on how someone felt at the moment of dealing with support? Now the question on the table is if that breaks contract or not. Both cases are terrible. If you say yes the company opens a juridical risk and if you say no it means its Terms of Service have something like "...and we may deny the service if you leave a negative app review or ask for our support in a way that we don't feel belonging to a 'safe space', specially if the user don't trigger warns us..."
I really dislike this argument. If you are not doing any serious work, then yes, Apple products are a luxury. If you are doing serious work, then you can afford Apple products easily. Let's say you spend $10k on your 2-year updated hardware. That comes at roughly $14/day. That's about how much I pay for coffee daily (cafes + Nespresso capsules)

Edit: And that doesn't include the re-selling price. I do give my old hardware to my mother, so I take it out of equation.
But half the point of a social network isn't the ability to communicate, but rather the history you've built there. Likewise, half the value of email isn't the ability to send a message to anyone, but the history of emails you have. Sure email isn't a data storage method, but in reality? Yeah, email is a data storage method. That's why Gmail gives me 25GB for free. Not because that's the size of my inbox, but because that's the size of every email I've ever gotten.

If I move from Gmail to Outlook, I can still email my friends but I can't go back and search our old conversations unless I export everything from Gmail to Outlook. If I switch from Facebook to Instagram, I can still message my friends but I can't see all of the pictures I posted on Facebook unless I export the pictures from Facebook to Instagram, but even then there are a lot of features of Facebook that I can't export data from because they just don't exist on Instagram.

History creates lock-in, and history is really hard to move around.
You don't recall all the back-and-forth about the IAEA? Hans Blix had visited this site and El Baradei had visited that site? Really? Do you actually remember that time, or do you just remember later reporting about it? Because in the news I watched in 2002-3, it was all IAEA all the time.
Uh, citation needed.

Isn't the 1.5 trillion number the total cost projected out to 2070 or so? (with maintenance included)

You can't take the cost of the whole program to 2070 and then state that nobody would miss the program. Not saying that defense budgets aren't up for debate, but your line of reasoning is not convincing.
It's not about upstreaming patches, it's about an exchange.

Your project respects user freedom? Okay, we're working under a common cause. Take my code (and my axe!).

You want to exploit my software for private profit? Fine, that's the reality of the capitalist society we live in. But you'll have to pay me. By demanding a "permissive" license, you're valuing my labor at zero while valuing your own above that.
Effective propaganda creates cognitive dissonance.

It seems it is likely easier to convince people scientists don't believe something than it is to convince them scientists are stupid or lying.

I guess all you need is one of those "He Said/She Said" TV interviews where you get one of the vast majority of scientists who believe something on one side and one of the minority who disagree on the other side, and then the conclusion is drawn: "Scientists evenly split on the issue! No actionable information is available from Science!"
I can see the MBP (only portability option, I use one myself) or the Mac Pro, but the iMac has turned into such an unexpandable machine, it troubles me that anything Pro is associated with it. It serves too many masters at this point. I hope the new Mac Pro is good.

> Traffic is intelligent movement of individuals and people shift modes when one mode becomes less efficient either in time and/or money.

I think it practice it often means for example taking less desirable jobs because a better one is now too far away in terms of commute time, visiting their friends and family less often etc.
I didn't mean that I'd expect a physicist to understand every part of Climatology. I meant that I'd expect any competent physicist to understand the basic principles of the greenhouse effect, because that part is physics.

Apple is coming up with an all-new modular Mac Pro, it just isn't ready yet
This article and thread reminds me of how lucky I was for being a stubborn idiot after graduating high school.

I, too, was told I was too smart to skip college and that I'd be wasting my life. And since I graduated HS at seventeen, my insistent immigrant mother was able to dump me into the local university regardless of my feelings about taking a year off. And, so, I partied my ass off every day and dropped out after the first semester. Mom wasn't happy, so I was allowed temporary quarters until I found a job, and then I was off to find an apartment, and that semester was all mine to pay off.

A year later I found myself with a shitty job downtown (back room at a clothing store) and art school (graphic design). I lucked into a job doing IT and on-site tech support (managing DOS servers and clients), and by nineteen I decided all the adults were full of shit, dropped out of art school and moved to NYC.

It was hard. Lots of work; Lots of hustle; Lots of failures and bad days; All along with the occasional fear that I'd made the wrong choice by skipping college, as I saw a few of my friends who had gone to college get to about where I was in my own career. They'd caught up. My head start was over; But rarely surpassed.

At any rate, I'm 38, back home in Chicago where the price of housing is far more reasonable than the cities I've lived in (NYC, Seattle, Los Angeles), working 100% remotely, and just bought a house. As for the stats mentioned in this article, my wife really made the cut as a 36-year-old bartender who also didn't finish college.

I definitely feel like I missed out on something important by skipping school. But my career hasn't suffered for it, and I'm not sad I missed out on paying for it. And I'm pretty sure spending my twenties in NYC made up for whatever I might have missed, socially.
DWM.exe is not a part of .NET, it's part of Windows. The .NET team has been making strives towards open source, but the Windows team has not.
I am working with two separate clients that need excel spreadsheet functionality in a browser. I evaluated all of the existing open source projects (this wasnt available at the time) and ended up going with fix-data-table-2 (fork of facebooks fix-data-table).

fix-data-table is performant and easily extendable. I was able to create an editable grid similar to googlesheets in a months worth of work. working on open sourcing it soon.
Apple's own data center servers are mostly Linux and BSD running on commodity hardware, if that helps.
I fully agree, but this didn't just happen. Cost of college didn't simply explode. There were people on the other side that steered things such that costs would explode, loans would be readily available, people would land in debt they can never escape.
IoT: Unlocking New Business Opportunities
I was an idiot, like "Hell yeah give me this money." Only later realizing how long it would take me to pay. Luckily for me what I owe is a mere pittance compared to someone like a doctor. But I also make 1/3rd of a pitance per year... haha I like that word pittance. Tribute to that Futurama episode, "Honking"

Anyway yeap... sucks thankfully I have a somewhat functioning brain, despite the loans, not getting a useful degree/potentially wasting three years of money/life, I have an opportunity to dig myself out. It's my own fault by the way I had a great opportunity and I pissed it away because I was a jackass. But yeah, it's easy to accept this money and not realize the interest like a couple of my loans are 6.8% APR and paying the interest down alone holy crap.
