This already happens: apt autoremove won't remove the package for the running kernel. It'll clean up "old" (N-1 and lower) kernels, but installing kernel N+1 won't allow kernel N to be deleted as long as kernel N is still executing.

Once you reboot/kexec into the N+1 kernel, it'll let you remove the N (now N-1) kernel, bringing you down to one. But at that point you've proven the new kernel works—at least well enough to get to a shell you can run apt autoremove from.

This is why autoremove isn't so auto: if it happened automatically after reboot, it might be running on a now-wedged system (e.g. one that can't bring up the display manager), removing the last-known-good kernel and leaving you with only the broken one.

I think the right middle-ground solution would just be for installing kernel updates to touch a file, and for Desktop Environments to notice that file and trigger a dialog prompt of "you've just rebooted into a new kernel. Everything good?"—where answering "yes" runs apt autoremove. On a wedged system, you can't answer the prompt, so the system won't drop the old kernel. (In other words, just copy the "your display settings were changed. Can you read this?" prompt. It's a great design!)
I don't think Australian citizens need to care that much. Also, Chinese and Russian are much higher-hanging fruit if your group primarily speaks English.
We'll probably learn how to exploit human psychology faster than we learn how to treat or understand it.

When will perception of SV be worse than that of finance?
> for one it has nothing to do with graphs

It can readily convey graph information, e.g. what are the first and last names of the friends of the friends of user 123?
But yes, there's nothing really graph specific.

If it bothers you that "Graph Query Language" is too specific, just remember that "Structured Query Language" is too general :)
I looked at my invoice from Best Buy and it was $9.99. I guess it was on sale but even at $40.00 it's not a bad deal.
At least the words are compatible, though the intent is probably not. Red America is perfectly happy to "protect privacy, rule of law, freedom of expression, and other fundamental American rights", and would love to "reduce the polarization".

Let's start with the easy one, polarization: that gets reduced if the tech industry accepts Red America values. Well? It works. It is a solution to polarization. Problem solved.

Red America is fond of privacy. FYI, the recent ISP thing isn't going over well with non-politicians. When gun registrations were published in a newspaper, that didn't go over too well. Opposition to stuff like home/family/schooling inspections (kid-related government agencies) is intense in Red America.

Red America loves the rule of law. You can tell that Trump has disappointed them on this when they chant "LOCK HER UP" and he evades the issue. Red America prefers that the constitution be interpreted very literally, using the actual text, with the meanings of words as they were in the English language at the time they were written.

Red America accepts freedom of expression even when they don't like it very much. It wasn't Red America that violently shut down Milo's speech. That was all blue.

Red America is obviously fond of other fundamental American rights. When the ACLU counts to ten, they do this: 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 (skipping the amendment they don't like)
A Users Theory on How Medium Took a Few Steps Back for a Gaint Leap Forward
They say co-founder relationships are like a marriage, so since you're already in a marriage with your co-founder, and assuming you guys have a good relationship where you can openly communicate and understand each other, you should be good.
Sorry, what does any of that have to do with the seeming lack of objectivity in Wikileaks decisions as to what to seek and publish?

Breakthrough: Hamiltonian for the Zeros of the Riemann Zeta Function
I don't believe the intention of Fuchsia is to take on Linux and become the jack of all trades OS but rather the master of some trades.
Great idea. You mention how much time is spent on looking at/for styles (incl. members of my family) but I'm not sure everyone here is aware of the average spend on hair and hair-related products: Mintel estimates the 2016 spend on black haircare products is about $2.5BB.

Not included in this number (and typically underreported because many services are rendered in non-official salons) hairstyling services. When family members go to the 'salon' it often involves many hours and hundred(s) of dollars for a single visit. Haircare expenditures are a significant budget item - no matter how wealthy.

I'll pass the app on to my family. Let's see what they say.
I don't know, man. The average web page size is now around 2.5MB [1], jQuery is <1% of that. I am not going to be less productive to shave off 1% of total page size. If that means that some random satellite user has to wait 101s instead of 100, so be it. To me, that's much ado about nothing.

jQuery is also not doing a whole lot on startup, its functions get called when needed. Lodash is the same.

I'm probably going to misquote him but Amos Michelson who was the CEO of the billion dollar company Creo, and a Stanford MBA, used to say that you can teach someone intelligent the useful bits from the MBA program in a week. He tried to get every Creo employee to know those useful bits so they can make the best decisions for the company.

Dynamic isolation sounds cool especially without the overhead of containers. Seems obvious in hindsight I guess.

I sometimes wonder if addition to a Ethics class, Computer Science students need to take a Computer Archaeology class. It might not be a bad thing to bring up a lot of the concepts that aren't in the main stream anymore that have been tried.

Ask HN: Open Source Developers, what product/services are worth paying for?
No, Internet was always like this (even worse), just there was much less people on it, and expectations were different. Back in the days of USENET there was a lot of quite unpleasant people you'd run into occasionally, but we've seen it as a part of the scene. Like going on a punk concert and someone spills a beer on you or a fight breaks out. It's not nice experience, but it's the part of the show, partially it's what makes it what it is. In my view it's not trolls who are destroying the Internet, but those who are trying to regulate every single aspect of it, instead of teaching people to more self respect and defiance as a way to deal with assholes. And author is right about that one, it will turn all human interaction into a superficial social equivalent of Potemkin villages where we'll be afraid to speak up without 2 pages of legal disclaimers first.
Flavour: Ubuntu Server

Headline: Add systemd updates to HWE stacks

Role / affiliation: containers @ Netflix

The HWE stacks y'all have been rolling out for LTS are really awesome. We're big fans.

Unfortunately, another component of Ubuntu is detracting from their awesomeness. Systemd isn't updated, and unfortunately it's becoming tightly coupled to the kernel and making certain kernel capabilities available like file system features, and networking. It would be great if systemd was included in the HWE.

Will CodePlex's sourcecode be hosted on GitHub?
That is one of those "known unknowns". That is something you know you do not know that answer to and can never know. If I pick a random poor third world country and tell you they are you can never be sure I'm wrong - "all those villagers going to the river for dirty drinking have a phd equivalent in spying: they only go to the river when people are looking, the rest of the time they use the running water in the basement of the hut - I'll bet you didn't know those grass huts have mansion sized basement underneath with full electric: see how good they are". This of course completely bogus but you can't actually know that for sure.

I think it is our duty to explore all the possibilities of neural networks. They are still not fully understood yet. Theory will catch up once we practically understand the beast. It might not be pure math, but it is a necessary exploration nonetheless.
Not so. If you are not a licensed Professional Engineer, there are jobs you can't get. And that's what I mean by "licensed".
Yup, it's interesting! We're in the early stage of this, currently experimenting with [Keras](https://keras.io/) and focusing on the inception pre-trained network. Our goal is to retrain the top layer of the network using the tags/hair types/categories we're collecting on the app as labels.
He shouldn't have to ask. You have to imagine that when you're at that level you're dealing with a magnitude more problems, and rely on your team to inform you of changes and their high-level impact.
It's entirely irrelevant to this release. The attribution to Russia has nothing to do with the language of strings embedded in the malware.

It's based on the re-use of the same exact techniques, including command-and-control server addresses and encryption keys that have been used in many, many other attacks that align extremely closely with Russian interests.

Successfully hacking, over the course of about a decade, American government interests, Eastern Ukrainian militias, Russian dissidents, the Olympic anti-doping committee investigating Russia's wide-spread doping scandal, journalists investigating the downing of MH17, etc. would be a very convoluted and expensive way to spoof attribution of this one attack.
I'm glad you highlighted this paragraph, but I'd say it is much worse. Sure, the headline inflation rate may be 109%, but that is just for a limited basket of goods. Other things like RENT have gone up far more than that, many multiples.

Also, not sure how this person pays only "twice as much for a month of medical insurance" compared to 1987, my rate is up more like 500%. Almost everyone I asked pays 500% more per month for medical now than when my friends graduated (2001), plus the deductibles are higher ($5 or $10 --> $50 for basic visits; $5000k+ total annual.)
To expand on your point, this CodePlex post mentions there were 350 projects with commits in the last 30 days. I'd venture to guess that number was much larger for GitHub. The people have voted on which service provides the most value.
How would the former affect web trackers?
Yes, surely that's the reason.
No. I am rejecting your reply. Go back and look at what happened to Leslie Jones, then try again. This is not simply "Leslie Jones Sucks".

That's a terrible analogy because you can refine your search nowadays.
Wrong. There's little tolerance for bigotry. There's nothing wrong with that. Having the opinion that a class of people do not deserve the same rights as others is not "diversity" or "having a different opinion". It's bigotry, plain and simple.

What you want is for no one to call you out for espousing terrible views. You want freedom from consequences of speech, not freedom of speech.
US jurisprudence requires unions to represent non-members whether they want to or not. I don't like agency fees, but they're a response to a free-rider problem.

Yes, a union is pretty much a corporation that supplies labor. The biggest difference is how they're governed. Nobody bats an eye if a supplier negotiates an exclusive contract.

This is where I stopped listening.
I'll agree the tolerance for extreme trolling is down, but I envy you your shelter: From trash talk to insults to casual "I'll drop this outrageous-but-believable statement and quietly leave", I see non-extreme trolling as mainstream anymore.

And I define "trolling" as "taking actions or communication with the sole goal of gaining pleasure from someone's misery and/or outrage"
Because that's the craziest fucking thing you've heard this year?
If each floor has 20 units and there's 10 people per unit, that's 200 people on one floor -- that's a lot of wait time for the elevator (which was sized for typical occupancy, not 5 people per bedroom), extra foot traffic, overflowing trash cans, parking/traffic issues, running out of hot water (if it's shared), overuse of shared/common areas, much higher resident turnover, etc.

Though in this case, the company isn't cramming people in that tightly, so it's not an issue.

No, you're right, the fact that Donald Trump literally launched his campaign by painting all Mexican immigrants as murderers and rapists is a coincidence, the question of who gets deported and why is purely a technical, legal one having nothing to do with ethnicity
I was a long-time vim use, and I found slimv to work pretty well with Common Lisp, but at the time I was never very interested in Clojure. Since then, I've switched to emacs using evil-mode to provide a vim editing experience: and, I have to say, evil-mode is almost better than vim itself. I've used evil-mode+cider to develop a couple clojure web apps and, I've been very happy with my setup.

(and, yes, I have tried spacemacs, but found it unpleasant)
This experience is extremely common. I have lost track of the number of people who have formed a negative opinion of Clojure because they were forced to pick up the pieces of a half-baked project written by someone who wasn't familiar with Clojure or its idioms.

It should go without saying that this should not actually reflect poorly on Clojure as a language.
And if you finally reach to point of any contract - your data is not anonymous any more (because you just gave a name to the id).
I think the only way that trolling can be defeated is if people are educated in productive discussion, including why it is beneficial and how to carry it out, and also in how to respond to trolls without simply attacking back.
You need to read the archives of the supervision mailing-list at list.skarnet.org, as well as http://skarnet.org/software/s6/overview.html - there is a lot of value in process supervision, it's just that most people who whip up their own solution end up doing it wrong. Like crypto, in a less dramatically noticeable way.
Clojure is interesting in a lot of ways. I've toyed with it a lot, but what actually keeps me from using it much is how tightly coupled it is with the JVM.

Clojure the language's coupling with the JVM is actually rather loose, precisely because it's hosted. However, Clojure the ecosystem is definitely coupled. However, I think this only rears its head when you need to incorporate a library and deploy. Once you set up your CI environment, I don't see this as being that big a deal that often.

Add a modern package manager on top of that like cargo or mix and I would love to write new projects in it, because clojure itself is a very pleasant experience.

Undeniably this has been a trend downward in wages into wage stagnation. The share of GDP to workers is on a near 50 year decline since the mid-70s[1]. Wages and raises, once a staple of America and working hard to achieve a good life, has become lost and efficiently worked out of the system.

Wage stagnation for 15 years heavily and 40 years overall does a number on the wallet while the costs of everything are far beyond inflation[2].

America has lost the ability to give meaningful wage increases to keep growth going in a consumer based economy. When the consumer based economy is low on fuel (cash in wallets and accounts) then it sputters.

Back in the day America viewed wages as a sign of good work and companies saw benefits of increasing workers pay. This led to more money in the system, employees that buy and recommend where they work, better customer service, better informed employees and more.

To "Make America Great Again" either raise wages as a function of work over time/productivity or drive down the dollar so Americans can get raises again. In both cases the wealthy will have to be willing to pay their part, but they didn't get rich by paying.

Agree SBCL and SBCL if you're looking to do linux for scientific or web. (Let's get real, is there anything else?)

Clozure Common Lisp (http://ccl.clozure.com/) is excellent if you're on the mac.

Windows I'd do Lispworks or Allegro (both commercial lisps), although rumor has it SBCL for windows has gotten much better. Admittedly my last experience doing anything on windows was probably ~5-6 years ago.

Great thing is, the language is standard, so generally you can just pick one and start messing around.

let's-tryagain posted a now dead comment:

> I have no desire to gloat over someone's misfortune, but it would be useful to hear exactly how the subject of the article went from 401k/real-estate-income/savings to "I'm-broke". I know he had a heart attack, but there is some other vague reference to "spending too much" in Europe which honestly sounds like papering-over poor judgement.
We can't learn how to swerve around the potholes if we don't know where they are. Maybe McPherson fell down a particular hole like a bad lease or a partnership gone bad...I would like to know so I can avoid the same fate.

I have to agree, you can't downvote this into oblivion. The fact of the matter is if you have money and income you go poor by spending too much or being forced into a position which drains you of your money. You can't ignore this. But this article doesn't mention a single thing about it. There are plenty of rich people who don't die poor.

Having control over the virtual to physical address mapping and scatter-gather lists for GPUs is effectively equivalent to kernel-level access anyway, though, because it lets you carry out DMA to and from arbitrary physical memory addresses. Some proprietary drivers for mobile GPUs have even given this level of access to untrusted user processes in the past leading to privilege escalation to root.
There is lying, but there's also the sin of omission.

If you're running a media outlet, and use your editorial discretion to only disclose specific truths that align with your broader interest, you're not worthy of claiming to be acting in the public interest.

Facts are never black and white things. The meaning of truth is dependent on the context surrounding it.
Only the first reason is correct (NNs are good at data with dimensional relationships).

The second reason is pretty bogus (text/images more graspable). It's valid if you're talking about mass media / popular press. But for research papers 1) images / large snippets of text are actually a negative since images take a lot of space and 2) the people doing peer review are expert scientists. They know the benchmarks and the theory.
I think the issue is not that "all" jobs will be gone, just enough of them.
> That means your software won't compile in a lot of platforms.

Is won't anyway; qsort_r has already limited me to a tiny number of platforms. If I care about further portability, autotools can't do anything to help me; my next step is not autotools, it's "don't use qsort_r"
