Everyone you're replying to understands how WSL and UNIX shells work. The error is on your part because you keep misunderstanding that the Windows executable one runs to invoke WSL is literally

C:\Windows\System32\bash.exe

Sure, once you've started bash you can then probably switch to whichever shell you want afterwards (NOTE: I say that but I've not tested to see if other shells work). But to use your WINE example, the Windows Bash.exe PE is the equivalent executable to the wine ELF.

Now you are welcome to rant about how the WSL "invoker" should be isolated from the POSIX shell, but that's very different from the point you keep raising and thus keep getting down voted for.
Not really. It's a change in model that the internet has created, and one that's going to be nigh impossible to undo. If everyone charged for their work, you'd be right, but it's basically impossible to end up in that situation now. Because for everyone charging money there's ten who realise they can out compete them by offering it for free (either out of the 'kindness' of their heart or funded by venture capital).

It's the same situation with smartphone apps about now. Yes, it's an absolute mire of low quality, exploitative crap at the moment, but when developers try and avoid this by just charging full price (like Nintendo with Super Mario Run), they find their apps are significantly less popular/profitable than if they'd be 'freemium' all along and end up getting a virtual tongue lashing from audiences who expect 'mobile app' to equal 'free with ads/microtransactions'.

Unless everyone charges money for content (which is likely happening because of business reasons) or some service genuinely manage to repair the media's reputation enough people will pay for it and also offers a better, more usable product than everyone else, things aren't changing.

Hey guys, I'm Leo - one of the founders of NStack.

We started work on NStack around a year ago, to help data-scientists productionise their models and compose them together with various data sources.

We built NStack using a mixture of low-level Linux technology, including systemd-containers, btrfs, dbus IPC, along with high-level concepts such as building a DSL, type-checker, and runtime. As a functional programming company, NStack is built using Haskell and are really excited to launch our CLI and server -- along with a sandboxed demo PaaS which you can try out now.

We'd love to hear any feedback.

Which reminds me, TV/cable/et al. related services already cost money, yet they still serve advertisements. Isn't this a form of double-dipping? Shouldn't they be paying (or giving a discount) to watch advertisements?
This is the closest thing to reasonable that anybody has suggested. I seem to be getting brigaded by the encryption cargo cult and while I agree that nothing public facing should not have encryption it's a different thing to force all developing students to learn TLS/SSL before they start actually learning to code.

I expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that learning to code for the web has a barrier to entry now that can be very difficult for various reasons. Learning To debug TLS issues is another problem in of itself which often takes a lot of years to fully understand.

A new programmer should be very aware of the tools that are available to make this easier. But 14 year old me with a php book and no internet did not have such luxuries and that was all I said.

I've been very active on the forum, Discord, IRC and the Packages repo on GitHub. I don't think the stereotype of Sublime HQ being radio silent holds true any longer.

We don't, however, make blog posts or tweets saying "we're still working on the next build." However, whenever anyone asks on the forum (twitter, etc) I'll be happy to tell you we are still working on the next build! :-)
That would make sense. Water tanks would be breeding grounds for the amoeba.

(The UK housing stock is slowly converting over to plumbing that eliminates the water tanks, but lots of older housing will still have a water tank in the loft somewhere.)

Welcome to Soul 2 Soul Mates Blog
You're technically correct. s/design/structure/?
I have this random thought that there's something very important and often overseen in what you've said: "(...) knowing (...) what not to learn (...)".

We live in hyper-information times where there are multiple options for pretty much everything. This often leads to too-much-choice-paralysis. Learning how to deal with it may be very important skill.

For new programmers "simple" things like the choice of programming language, framework, style, whatever - can be overwhelming. It seems to me that often people go for dogmatism as a "tool" of choice for fighting over-information.

Learning how to evaluate things quickly, making a choice without falling into dogmatism hole, being open to other ideas and above all making steady progress are becoming, imho, essential skills.
I think there still is a big opportunity for ad companies that try to actually show stuff the user might interested in. Let me explain.

Let's say you are an amateur astronomer, like me. You have subscribed to a paper magazine about astronomy, like me. If, again, you are like me, then you also read the magazine for the ads in it. Ads showing new telescopes, ads talking about astronomy expeditions, ads for the astronomy club. It is advertisement on the one hand, but still relevant information for my hobby. The companies that buy ads for a longer period burn their brand into my brain, in the "relevant" section of it.

Now let's talk about how this would be on the web. When I visit a site about astronomy, I can expect the ads to show: flight offers for the business trip I recently googled. SAS software because I recently did a certification with them and visited their website. Amazon ads showing me business books I recently searched there. But what they often do not show: relevant, juicy astronomy related ads. And when they do, the ad is gone the next time I refresh the page replaced by something else. The ads on the web are most often totally out of context. They might be shown to you because of your recorded behavior before, but still they are totally irrelevant.

Probably running an ad network with great ads would be much more manual work than running the next past-behavior based network that tries to mine user data for new ideas. But at least for special interest sites, it could be a gold mine.
And thank god. Truly a small price to pay for deliverance from the drug epidemic!
> It's the original sense.

Nope. The original "censors" were Roman magistrates who enforced public morals. They're called censors because they were also responsible for the census. The government part of censorship has been baked in from the very coining of the word.
Agreed, I think PHK nails his concerns here: https://www.varnish-cache.org/docs/trunk/phk/http20.html
To be picky, it means that it's no greater than 60%. I'm not sure that an armed raid which turned up, say, the dog end of a joint or a line's worth of speed should be counted as a success.
or you could just get on writing code instead of that diatribe!
There is nothing particularly remarkable about Czech/Slavonic word "robota" (serfdom) being mentioned in English as a technical term for the system in force in Austria (and the Czech lands), nine years before it was abolished. In some countries it continued even longer.

Undoubtedly Čapek had chosen that word for a good reason.

However, to make up some kind of thesis that this mention of serfdom in 1839 was therefore the first appearance of "Robot" in English is just one convolution too far. One could argue more logically, that the first appearance of "Robot" was in old Slavonic around 700 AD or earlier. Perhaps a few thousand years earlier in its Sanskrit form. Though, surely, that is not the point here.

The point is that it was Čapek in 1921 who first applied it in the context of some kind of "soulless servant" and thus created its modern usage.
the general problem is uncomputable. but for some specific data outputs we may be able to find the shortest program.
America has the police culture it has because the American people wanted it. We wanted aggression in the wake of 9/11 and the War on Drugs. We wanted police to come in, guns blazing, with zero tolerance and take down the evildoers. We voted for prisons and hard time and three strikes and zero tolerance policies in schools. Lawyers and judges run for office touting the number of people they sent to the death chamber, promise more death if elected and get elected.

We can't overhaul law enforcement without overhauling American culture first.

What he is asserting is that in the vast majority of cases where SWAT is used it is not an appropriate escalation from more mundane police procedures.
Yes! It sounds as if they're talking about Wine...
The moral distinction between what commenter said, and the actual reality in many cases, is small enough that I think the phrasing is called for. It's not meant to be exactly accurate - it's meant to be a wake up call about the comparative disregard for life.
I am well aware. The simulation runs on a turing machine..a computer. That's different from turing completeness. Turing-completeness means a turing machine can be built inside of the simulation.

Fully independent? Nothing is fully independent of the universe it resides in.

Cheating doesnt mean much. Cheating is making AI from the top-down if thats the case. Because its the extreme opposite end of emergence. And plenty of work is being done on that now. So if you manage to get life by "cheating", fuck it. It's life. It's a milestone.

There's other ways to avoid total chaos besides gravity. There's just got to be a delicate balance of stability of structure yet the ability to destroy structure and extract potential in order to compute, ie make new structure.

Yes, it's an ambitious thing.. But its a question of whether life is a product of information and computation, or a product of more specific principles. Who really knows.
Yes, surely the downfall of Perl was caused by its zealous fans, not by the apparition of other programming languages that were either easier to use (PHP), more readable (Python) or had more attractive frameworks (Ruby) :)
> Ads are definitely a huge problem, but it seems they are at least equally, perhaps even less of a contributor to bloat than the tons of off-the-shelf Javascript frameworks/libraries major websites throw in to perform analytics

If you look at how this works out when you reload such a page just once, you'll see that you're wrong. The frameworks are heavy, but they are cached and typically only contribute to parsing delays etc., but ads load every time you visit the page and often the JS involved isn't cached, nor minified/gzipped.

Try a "repeat view" with webpagetest.org, for example.
The TV and Radio ad argument falls a little flat when you consider people have left radio for competitively priced streaming music that is ad-free and people have left TV for competitively priced streaming movies and TV that are ad-free.

Newspapers have just struggled to find and adopt a similar model, I hope they find it. The common thread is that we live in an advertising saturated world and a lot of people are tired of it.

Drive down a street or highway... Ads, signage, billboards, Turn on a radio... Ads, Go online... Ads, Open a newspaper or magazine... Ads, Watch a movie... Product placements. I am waiting for them to print ads on the individual sheets of toilet paper on a roll.

Some advertising is fine but when it ruins landscapes, deafens you as you watch TV or ruins a perfectly good site layout whilst tracking and eavesdropping on you then something is wrong.
Well, for CPA the only thing that matters you already know, then it's up to you to decide who you want to run those ads and if they agree with you and find you trustworthy. That's a 'solved problem' in the sense that for a long time such situations were dealt with using outside auditors. It costs a bit but not so much that it would make CPA impossible, merely less convenient.

Interesting part I got from this discourse: there is no 'one size fits all' when it comes to what is acceptable and what is not. That's yet another problem to be solved.
We're special!
Why not? there are so many people out there buying/selling child or necrophilia pornography in the darknet. I hope they get caught by the police.

I posted about social justice purely because the flagged comment did. Two posts later you claimed there was ill-informed outrage surrounding SJW labelling - so it didn't take much for you to take up the topic.

What do you feel I should offer that I'm not offering which is relevant to the topic you're engaging me on? You've previously said you'd like my observations of outrage online. Why?

If you feel the need to say "ill-informed outrage" clearly you feel some outrage is not "ill-informed". Drawing the conclusion that you feel there are different types of outrage is logical.

Russian FOSS activist arrested in Russia for his Tor exit-node
Dmitry Bogatov was arrested on the 6th of April: he became part of the big penal case initiated by Russia’s Investigation Committee on "incitations to mass riots" during the protest action that took place on the 2nd of April in Moscow. According to the Investigation Committee, Bogatov was publishing messages on the forum sysadmin.ru, inciting to violent actions, for example, "he" was suggesting to bring to the Red Square "bottles, fabric, gasoline, turpentine, foam plastic". According to the Investigation, the experts had analyzed the text of these messages and proved a "linguistic and psychological characteristics of incitations to terrorism". However, Dmitry claims that he has nothing to do with posting the incendiary messages.

Dmitry Bogatov, 25 years old, teaches maths in MFUA (Moscow Finance and Law University) was a free and open source software activist (https://sinsekvu.github.io/pages/about.html). Dmitry was administrating a Tor exit node (https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/2402CD5A0D848D1DCA61EB708CC1FBD4364AB8AE) from his house. In fact, the author of "incendiary messages" (called "Airat Bashirov") was using Tor, and, by lack of chance, he used the ip adress of Dmitry's exit node.

Dmitry's lawyer, Alexei Teptsov, presented videos from surveillance cameras, that proved that, during the moments when the "incendiary messages" were posted, Dmitry was away from his computer. He was coming back from a fitness center with his wife, Tatiana, a genetician, and then went to a supermarket, where cameras were also working. Moreover, "Airat Bashirov", the author of the provocative messages, continues to post on sysadmin.ru, while Dmitry is under arrest. The last post was seen on the forum on April 11.

Dmitry will stay in pre-trial detention center until June 8 at least. Now the Investigation is examining all his seized devices.
> "can't" by virtue of "didn't"?

No can't by the virtue of can't, the entire idea is a rapid response to a possible threat.

What you can do is scrap the entire concept, but don't pretend to keep it and make it completely useless by removing the one idea at the root of it.
Police officers should be treated, at least, exactly the same as common citizens in cases where common citizens would be arrested for actions the police tend to get away with, such as murder. The position of law enforcement shouldn't give them license to kill - blame them, charge them, jail them if necessary.

Perhaps their willingness to enact violence on behalf of the state should put the police under greater suspicion.

>I've been very active on the forum, Discord, IRC and the Packages repo on GitHub. I don't think the stereotype of Sublime HQ being radio silent holds true any longer.

Yeah, it's the blog posts/tweets stuff that might be needed.

Because most devs don't bother checking the forums (much less irc).

In fact, and this is 100% true, I just spoke to a guy in the next office asked him enthusiastically "did you get the new ST update?", and he looked at me quizzically: apparently he still uses ST2 (which has bought 2 years ago or so) and didn't even know there was a ST3 out at all.

(which motivated me to post this thread on HN)
In some respects but consciousness is unknown with regard to it.
I am defining life as intelligent computing machines that remain stable through consumption of their environment. Whether or not the life created is conscious is a deep question.

Consciousness is a hard problem.

That still makes it rather useless as an API, when it could be reduced down to a conditional GET on a CSV file listing the countries and their headline VAT rates.

For this to be useful as an API, it would need to deal with the actual complicated bits of VATMOSS, which is dealing with multiple different rates for different product types.
It depends on whether you think economics and sociology are fundamental to the physics of the universe or merely emergent phenomena. It's quite possible to understand all the fundamental rules of a system while having great difficulty working out all the consequences of those rules at a macroscopic level.
If I say Firefox for Linux, I'm thinking the Linux kernel is involved, and that the application(Firefox) will be running on Linux.

If I say Firefox for Windows, I'm thinking the Windows kernel is involved, and that the application(Firefox) will be running on Windows.

So calling something $x for Linux, when it's actually running on Windows makes no sense.
Of course there's a difference.

In a taxi you can rip off a firangi or fail to pick up a black passenger at your leisure. With Uber, this will cause your ratings to drop below 4.3, or your acceptance rate/cancellation rate to drop below/above whatever threshold they use. Then you get kicked off the platform.

Uber is providing the necessary regulation of the system that governments fail to provide.

You'd be surprised. I'm tempted to go to the VSC side from time to time because of the more polish -- it's the speed that brings me back.
It's all smiles and sunshine, until you choose 13px as the font-size for this post.

It's right then, that it happens. You made a good point about lightweight, text-driven web, but didn't care to use a saner 16px for the font-size.

And so you instantly become a stereotype in my eyes. The old guy shaking his fists at modern hipster web.

Not sure what you're asking. If you mean if this is a major release, then no. It's a new dev build for the ST 3 series.

It is however "major" in features.
I'll try another one.

It's more like you having a potluck, or cook-off, meaning anyone can come and join and contribute food.

But then someone prepares Surströmming, Hákarl or Shiokara, which is technically food (content) that someone might like. It will now smell all over your potluck and have a detrimental effect on peoples view of it. You have previously reserved the right to turn away participants, and you exercise that right.
Computer resources are like a budgets. It doesn't matter how much you get, it will all be used.
Thanks for the reply! I'm sure you're right about the stereotype not holding true, I haven't really been following things closely.

I also understand that time spent convincing people all over the internet that you're still working on the next build may be better spent... well, working on the next build :)! What I had in mind was more along the lines of "what's happening to Sublime Text in the long term", though that may not even be relevant.
Conversion between states means nothing if the states can multiply endlessly. There needs to be conservation to prevent "something for nothing."
