>To your request of my opinion of the manner in which a newspaper should be conducted, so as to be most useful, I should answer, "by restraining it to true facts & sound principles only." Yet I fear such a paper would find few subscribers. It is a melancholy truth, that a suppression of the press could not more compleatly deprive the nation of it's benefits, than is done by it's abandoned prostitution to falsehood. Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle. The real extent of this state of misinformation is known only to those who are in situations to confront facts within their knolege with the lies of the day. I really look with commiseration over the great body of my fellow citizens, who, reading newspapers, live & die in the belief, that they have known something of what has been passing in the world in their time; whereas the accounts they have read in newspapers are just as true a history of any other period of the world as of the present, except that the real names of the day are affixed to their fables. General facts may indeed be collected from them, such as that Europe is now at war, that Bonaparte has been a successful warrior, that he has subjected a great portion of Europe to his will, &c., &c.; but no details can be relied on. I will add, that the man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them; inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods & errors. He who reads nothing will still learn the great facts, and the details are all false.

Yev from Backblaze here -> thanks for purchasing! I think part of that is when I find places to run a Backblaze ad, I try to find a show-host who is willing to do the read themselves, try the product, and maybe share a personal story instead of just reading blanket copy. That doesn't happen all the time, but when it does it comes off better. Backblaze is a tough thing to market because a lot of folks view backup as a horrendous time-sink - so if the host can drive home the ease-of-use we see folks more inclined to giving our trial a spin!
Jared Kushner Runs Windows on a Mac?
It's not that simple. Something different is required depending how the doors close (pneumatic, electric) and the expected use (high / low speed, crowded or not).

If the padding is too squashy, a trapped hand won't be detected and the person could be dragged under the train. Too sensitive, and someone leaning a suitcase on the door prevents the train from leaving.
DPI scaling yes, but not multi-DPI, when dragging from a 100 DPI monitor to a 300 DPI one text should remain sharp and not blurred by scaling pixels. Or even vice versa.

Can you not put this in your .bashrc or something?
Just wrote the same thing and would love to see this. It's the only thing that makes me consider moving to Gnome 3 as that will treat additional monitors as it's own workspace. Really miss MacOS handling of this as it's so seamlessly integrated.

- FLAVOR: Ubuntu Desktop

- HEADLINE: Saner App Switching

- DESCRIPTION: every other time I alt-tab I am baffled by what window gets focus. I have to actually think to use this feature. Compiz is no better. OSX has this done right. Another somewhat related problem is sometimes a window is not raised when expected but I'm not sure when exactly that happens. Something like "if an app is already open and you try to launch it" but more subtle than that.

- HEADLINE: Universal Ctrl+W command to close windows or tabs

- DESCRIPTION: Somerhing I took for granted on OSX that I thought was coming from Linux, but apparently not. Yes, you could remap the close shortcut from Alt+F4 to Ctrl+W but that closes the window in browsers instead of closing the tab. And some apps don't react to this key binding at all.

Another thing I miss dearly is a universal shortcut to open an app's settings (Cmd+,) in OSX.

- HEADLINE: Broken Apps in App Center

- DESCRIPTION: Even apps that are featured (on 16.04 which is latest LTS) like Maps have tons on 1-star ratings because their core features are broken. I installed myself to verify. That's just embarassing compared to other app stores.
Is this truly just an app or is it functionality tied to base OS configuration? If its the former, I should be able to uninstall via root like all the other bloatware crap, correct?
Perfect, I couldn't remember the name. Thanks!

Some people say that a management suite developed in Brazil was made by taking the code and refactoring it. Indeed, some functions at that time were quite similar.

And it was a great product, helped a lot at the company I worked at. Don't know if it's still that good, but surely I would recomend it back those days.

>As a concrete example, I've had a bunch of in person conversations about gun ownership, and a fair number of online discussions. With the in person examples, generally, i feel like i've learned something, and my interlocutor has a better understanding of my point of view. Any time i try that online, i just get pissed off and i'm pretty sure my interlocutor does as well, judging by being unfriended.

I've had the same experience.

I'm a gun owner. I also believe that guns are dangerous and every gun owner should be thoroughly vetted before being allowed to own one.

As a New Yorker it took 11 months for my pistol permit application to be processed. My finger prints were taken, as well as a mug shot. It cost over $100. A county sheriff came to my home to inspect it and interview me. And I was fine with all of that, because it meant others had to go through this same strict process. I think it should not be easy to obtain a gun, and it should be easy to lose the privilege.

But I've shared this opinion online with other gun owners before and to say it was not received very well is a massive understatement. Apparently, not only does my belief in tighter restrictions mean I don't deserve to own guns, it also means that I don't believe in any part of the Constitution at all, and should my life be in danger, gun owners who may be able to help me shouldn't come to my defense. That was seriously what I was told. To these people online it's preferable that I be killed than defended because I believe guns shouldn't be easy to obtain. It's absolutely crazy.

- HEADLINE: Faster Dash

- DESCRIPTION: I still use Ubuntu Unity because of the superior UX of app indicators, which GNOME refused to merge many years ago and still sucks to this day for it. However, one thing I miss a lot from GNOME is the far snappier application search/launcher.

The Unity Dash has some pretty poor ergonomics overall compared to GNOME's "Activities", but that is not what I'm concerned about right now. All I want is for the process of (1) pressing Super (or the "Windows key"); (2) searching for an application; and (3) launching the application I searched for to go at least as fast as it does in GNOME 3. Right now I use the crash-prone Synapse[0] instead of the Dash.

You might be wondering: "But isn't it really just as fast?" First of all, no, sometimes the Dash itself opens really slowly for no apparent reason; and second, strictly speaking, it's not the speed of opening an application that is problematic; it's the slow feedback loop of getting search results as you type. This feedback is instantaneous in Synapse, near-instantaneous in GNOME Shell, and comparatively slow as heck in Unity Dash. Disabling the extra features in the Dash helps a bit.

It's also very annoying that it doesn't automatically highlight the first search result (as it does in GNOME), which makes it ambiguous as to what will happen when you press Enter.

And it is awful that in order to select any search result after the first, I either have to: (1) keep typing to narrow the search down further; or (2) move my hand all the way over to the arrow keys, or worse, the mouse.

Pressing TAB doesn't cycle through the search results, it cycles through: (1) the "Applications" UI header; (2) the first result of the "Files & Folders" section (instead of the header -- why the inconsistency?); (3) the "Filter results" button.

I know Unity 8 is the priority these days; even if the Unity 7 Dash can't be fixed, I sure hope Unity 8 doesn't make the same silly UX mistakes.

And in those cases I have typically sided with the EU (I'm British).

Data protection laws, anti-trust laws, labour protections, a concerted effort to combat cross-border tax evasion (that the UK ruined by opting not to take part, due to it's enjoyment of being a fucking tax haven) just to name a few.

Seriously, when it comes to laws that protect the average schmuck, the EU is far from perfect but it has been a hell of a lot better than what our own politicians when it comes to looking out for us.

I'd rather be closer to Europe than closer to the US. No question, especially now with that batshit lunatic they have in charge.
Now they just need to feed it its own source and turn it into Skynet source.
Good point. That's what I figured--for example, a background job running end-of-month subscription charges for a large co. could potentially slam the API for a few hours.

- HEADLINE: Make "apt" search output same as "apt-cache"

- DESCRIPTION: The apt command is worthy replacement for aptitude, but I dislike its search. Too many blank lines, and splitting name/description on separate lines takes up too much space. Plus, it's harder to drop in for any script expecting apt-cache's search output.
Lawyers like faxes because it leaves a legally acknowledged written record on both sides, and they're instantaneous.

So they send a lot of them.

For some reason the fax is legally sounder than email.
If you do something highbrow because it's highbrow, that probably does in fact make you a snob. Whether that was intended by the original quote, I will leave others to decide.
You're right, but even many builtin Microsoft apps - while they supported DPI scaling - did not support multi-DPI switching and rather than scaling properly just scaled pixels and looked blurry.

It's "not Windows fault", sure but it certainly makes it a worse experience than other platforms like OSX where multi-DPI is much more commonly supported.
I've actually always thought that the Slashdot algorithm was one of the better thought out approaches. You cap it at 5, give it a reason. Good behavior is rewarded with the ability to vote for a short period of time so you have to use your votes with some discretion for what you REALLY think needs attention...and if you comment on a story you can't vote on other comments.

It's probably the best approach I've seen.
I just assumed from first glance that this was an early April Fools (I guess it must be April 1st in Australia by now)

The thermal mass in construction is like adding inductors and capacitors to a circuit. It has to be tuned to the local climate. The best you can do with thermal mass alone is an interior that is always the local mean temperature (like in a cave).

So in a thermal wall, you should match the rate at which heat conducts through the wall to the thickness of the wall, such that it takes about (12 + 24n) hours for heat applied to the exterior of the wall to radiate from the interior of the wall, and vice versa. You're trying to eliminate the daily temperature variation, so that the heating or cooling load will be more stable.

Adding phase-change materials to the concrete mix would help, but for the most part, the traditional building method in the region has been tuned by trial and error. If you build an adobe house in New Mexico, you make the walls from local materials, with the same thickness as the traditional homes. Or you get an engineer to do the thermal calculations.

Most houses built in the US just stick to the building code, which is generally good enough to accommodate local weather conditions without breaking out the calculators.
I'm experimenting with names. You'll see a write up where I minimise the number of legs, i.e. solder joints you have to make. That seemed like a very good metric. But then I found myself discussing everything in terms of the transistor count, so I'm favouring min-T right now. Passive components like resistors and didoes you can see what they do from looking at them. Transistors are much harder to work out what they are going to do. Other name suggestions are welcome.
Static data caching is solved without p2p. Dynamic (personalized) data caching is unsolvable by p2p.
I agree entirely that this phenomenon is by no means exclusive to MBAs. It's deeply embedded into the context/psyche of our economy.

You can just as easily be a tent preacher with your business podcast as a Jesuit with your MBA. But the mysticism pervades.
While we're getting a bit into "flame war" territory, it's hard to argue that the current iteration of Android is an "open platform"; practically speaking, most of the useful features of the OS are hidden in the (closed) Google Play Services. Yes, you can go for a custom ROM, but not on all devices and most people don't want to deal with the effort/UX downgrade.
I get it. Everyone, everywhere, is collecting data - whether it's CNN.com or Noiszy.com or Google Analytics. While you may be using Google Analytics for basic tracking of anonymous visitors, Google may be using it for "creepy targeting based on everything you do".

I'm really not opinionated (I think the plugin is interesting and am completely ok with being tracked) I just found it a bit hypocritical to create a product against tracking while simultaneously providing tracking data to Google.
You are thinking as if there were a "litigation in process", licenses are looked only if one the parties decided to sue, usually the "creator" or "author" of the work are the ones which are "suing" because he wants to gain royalties for the "work" he is done but in the context of WTFPL, given that "i license my work under this license" this non-existant because m licensing "my work" as something near "public domain" (if you accept the premise that even such us-specific legal term applies, which usually isn't) so pretty much all your question don't matter, there won't be a legal precedence if there isn't something to "sue" maybe for liabilities but this is something rare to see outside us.

So I think it's a bit of a misconception that GraphQL is going to essentially map to SQL in the backend. Essentially, it's up to the service provider to decide what query paths and mutations are available in GraphQL, and design their schema accordingly.

So for example, if you allowed "comments" to be queried within a "user", you'd make sure that users could be looked up efficiently by their ID, and that comments could be loaded in bulk efficiently based on user ID. You'd also make sure that your implementation for both those operations is secure.

It's not too dissimilar to REST in that you're still very much designing what your API should look like and not exposing anything else.
A lot of hotels still receive booking confirmations via fax, if they aren't receiving it via email.
I don't think that's the purpose of the MBA -- i.e. to become trained for a specific role (though I assume you had opportunities for internships.)

Maybe it's the good thing. Law worked like this for ages and in some ways they managed.

Of course it relied heavily on everybody knowing everybody else in much smaller societies, but that we can do also by doing an AR face lookup on every person we ever interact with.

This is a rather interesting stance to take for a publication whose article quality has degraded and ad size has increased (thirty-eight trackers, including two from Facebook, detected by my adblocker when I tried to access the article) over the past five years to the point where I refuse to read them.

What makes you think they're getting the data from Apple? The entire OS is sandboxed and siloed out the proverbial wazoo, and Apple is demonstrably a very pro-privacy company that doesn't allow most forms of carrier fuckery.

Apple has the power here. Verizon needs the iPhone on their network more than Apple needs to support Verizon as a carrier.
Exactly what I meant, proper 10 point touch and gesture support. Out of curiosity, what kind of audio interface are you using, what audio stack and latency? It can be even trickier to get usb audio interfaces to work properly on laptops because of USB power throttling, which can be hard to configure under Linux.
Ha,ha. I reckon I learned more about ancient Rome in the 5 minutes reading this graffiti than all the years I studied history. If our boring textbooks had included this stuff I reckon we'd all have gotten 'A's.

Seriously, isn't it both remarkable and wonderful that this stuff has actually survived. Unlike us today with our modern sensibilities, it seems Pompeians didn't bother to clean graffiti off walls. If one does the sums it looks that this one below stuck around for 157 years before the eruption of AD79:

Just another comment in passing, this graffiti bears a remarkable similarity to that on the backs of toilet doors in the engineering school at the uni I once attended decades ago. Seems some things never change.

You're thinking of file based encryption that's used by the "Encrypt my home directory" feature in the Ubuntu installer. Full disk encryption doesn't have path length issues. The installer supports setting up full disk encryption and I would recommend using that, over file based encryption, on a single user desktop system.
It shouldn't be needed. AFAIK part of the post-installation script of a new kernel already marks the oldest kernels for removal with `apt-get autoremove`. They just need to run it automatically after an upgrade.

Oh yes, quite so.

But the cold truth is that a 2LT is an adult, given adult choices, and adult consequences.

Mr. Luckey is identical in this regard, and if, by the time you're 23, you're not capable of sober decisions- then that is what courts call incompetent to stand trial.

Many examples from contemporary and historical sources could be cited to support my argument: I selected the most sobering difference.

As I remarked above to the grandparent poster, Mr. Luckey should not be exculpated based on age alone - if at all. He was working towards setting up a propaganda group to serve extremist interests.
True facts can be presented in such a way to lead to fake conclusions. With only a small amount of knowledge and almost no investments I can do this on a number of topics, often presenting groups of facts that lead readers to assume opposing false conclusions.

Now imagine groups that have vast amounts of resources to spend doing the same. Doing studies and only paying attention to the ones that agree with a certain view point. Scanning through other studies and statistics to find plenty of statistics that back their point even when relative to the whole body of statistics on the issue the findings are in the minority. Using psychology to find the best way to present facts with the goal of causing false conclusions to be drawn. Find legitimate critiques of opposing research but not uniformly applying them.

One example is the effect of listing crime rates by grouping based on total vs per capita rates. Group X is 10% of the population but commits 20% of the crime. You can list the data as they only commit 20% of the crime, or that their crime rate per capita is double that of group Y which is 40% of the population and commits 40% of the crime. And even this might not be correct is treatment of Group's X and Y by the police are not equal. Perhaps Group Y commits more crime, but isn't as likely to be investigated?

How can someone trust the facts they are being given when there are groups whose purposefully work to be able to give true facts in a way that encourages wrong conclusions?
Two years ago I had to work on integrating a SaaS product with fax. The client was a large financial organization who had a contract with a counterparty. Under this contract, they had to give notice to each other of a certain action and the contract stipulated the message was sent by fax. It was easier to implement fax than get lawyers involved in redrafting the contract.
I'm aware that the first errors don't have anything to do with the package itself, but this was the command line given. I was wondering what kind of setup might lead to an apt-get command (without sudo even) to display that error message.
