Linux is the kernel, so thanks to Android, it actually runs on most Android phones.

(this is why it's often called GNU/Linux - Linux with GNU userspace; Android has its own userland so you could call it Android/Linux)

Yes, this is possible as long as the second level nested object has a role to stop infinite recursion from occurring. Cycles are not automatically detected.

class BaseMapper(Mapper):

__type__ = TestType

class NestedMapper(Mapper):

__type__ = TestType

back = Nested('BaseMapper', role='nested')
name = String()

obj2 = TestType(name='test')
obj = TestType(score=5, nest=obj2)
obj2.back = obj

>> BaseMapper(obj=obj).serialize()

There is an ancient story about an old ship with all its parts replaced and the question was when does it stop being the old ship and become a new ship? If Windows has a Linux kernel, is it still Windows? I guess Windows is whatever Microsoft calls Windows?
That's not really true. There has been work to follow in TrueOS's footsteps to have a full ZFS root and integrate that with the installer, system upgrade, et al. as TrueOS does. TrueOS has been leading the way for using ZFS for boot environments on FreeBSD. This is far from "no effort".

It actually is very important because this is exactly what distinguishes between labour slavery and ordinary paid work.

Economic rules is not something that one can decide whether it applies or not. It's like telling that mathematical axioms don't apply in prison - sure, you can make people believe that 2 + 2 = 5 but this is nothing more than just rejecting the reality.
Having modules require apache to parse a lot of information from the request, and make them available and editable in variables.

This gives a lot of flexibility but it has a performance costs.

Twitter Lite Features and Updates
If people would support the site all the garbage would disappear for everyone. If a dollar for a byte is a bit too high, you could place a ceiling at $5000 - it would be around 100 bytes for a dollar.

It would be an alternative to ads. Ads are a padding plus unfairness and dishonesty. They also track you and run code on your machine. This would be just a padding.

A creator has to eat and people don't have to use his site. Those that like it and would want to make it even better can pay.

And don't forget that a first step was to create a _lean_ website. 200kB + 500kB padding would still be more than 2 times less then any website you mentioned. For this to work the website would have to prove from time to time how it would work without useless bytes. You could also serve less useless bytes.

However it could still work with added latency instead of bytes. Example: 50ms every 100kB.
This is an odd posting. It's a (very) short history of the reasoning behind and purpose of the Mir project at Canonical, but doesn't hint at the future of the project or the team.

It's a dictionary definition more or less, but the timing seems like it has a great deal of meaning (in the wake of the Unity abandonment).
I think this is because:

1) If they allowed you to target such a narrow niche, you'll be turned off when you see there's only XXX people total. And you'll be even more turned off when you see you generated 2 clicks out of those XXX people. But when you see the total reach of such a broad demographic is X million people you get excited.

2) It's hard to reach such a specific demographic. Only Facebook perhaps might have that granular an information about people who view their ads.

I realise this comment is now over a week old, but could you clarify what you meant? I don't know the specifics of the Falcon 9, but the only tolerance problem I see is in the strength of the landing legs, supporting the weight of the payload when landed (any excess propellants can be burnt off). Obviously you could make them bigger at the cost of lift mass.
I see. Perhaps I commented too fast.

I don't think it's that big of a deal for a text editor, though.

One thing is if you're a designer and all your files are PSDs and you're locked in with Photoshop, but if Sublime Text dies you still have lots of other editors that will open your plain text files: Atom, Eclipse, etc.
An interesting Rails find_by_* bug
I use ConEmu for 5 hours a day. it's the best terminal on Windows, but its UI is absolutely awful https://conemu.github.io/img/ConEmu-Maximus5.png https://conemu.github.io/img/Settings-Main.png

- Minimal contrast in active tabs - can't be fixed due to Windows XP support.

- Flashes it's hidden console proxy on screen continually

- Settings menu with around 5000 options and no sense of heirarchy - something that's rare is just as prominent as something that's common

- Giant colorful icons and wasted space in the title bar. I can't throw my mouse to the top and pick a tab when it's maximised.

- Freaks out when your console is too large

- Does a bunch of things better done elsewhere: my profile bash/powershell profile sets environment variables, I don't need my terminal to do this.

The only good thing Mir brought to the world was competition. As soon as Canonical announced that they had been working on Mir for a year, everyone and their dogs jumped on making Wayland a success. And Canonical has to be commended for this. Even if it was hugely unethical of them, as whilst they were developing Mir in secret, they had publicly stated that they will fully commit to Wayland.

If you treat photos as pleasurable pictures, then machine-generated photos will serve fine (e.g. stock photos).

What if you replace "photos" with "music", "art", or "literature"? Sure, we will get to a point where a computer can write a symphony that fits all the characteristics of Beethoven, or write a stylistically accurate Shakespearean sonnet. But it won't have the weight of the artist's observations behind it.

I wouldn't mind Windows 10 UI on Linux.
Apart from the new .NET Framework 4.7 and a few minor others, a bunch of features (e.g. Paint 3D) are not necessarily targeted towards advanced users. It would make sense to fragment some key modules we use as devs and make those available piecemeal without bundling features we'll probably never use with great features like WSL and the new Windows console. Essentially MS could give options just like it gives options about what to install on VS 2017 (for advanced users of course, regular users can have the default CU install mode).

Personally I'd agree with that, but analogous to being the employee of a company, it becomes a problem if off-topic distractions seep into the daily business, especially if these conflicts have a potential to escalate into the public view, and especially if the convictions in question are unethical.
I'd argue allowing some intolerance is required because no system is 100% anything.

Your comment shows the exact sort of thinking the people you're responding to are going off on.

The issue is people are trying to implement nonviolent communication principles in communities without learning how to process the world through the lens of nonviolent communication. And others are using the natural misunderstandings as evidence against nonviolent communication, as though the concept is the problem instead of people interpreting the concept in violent ways society teaches us to.

There is at least one CA that simply doesn't offer DV. So if you happen to agree with them that DV is worthless (for the record I do not), or at least that it's never appropriate for your business, then setting CAA to require that CA means nobody will be using some scheme to get "legitimate" DV certificates for your domain.

Why not? If the FB like-button sends the cookie for your FB session, then it can make the connection between your account and the product.

Besides, it is also possible that you talked with a friend about the product, and this friend searched for the product in e.g. Facebook, and by being friends with this person on Facebook, they now show the ad to you as well.
OP's example is maybe a little odd, but I admit that the very first thing I tried was "compositional" as well. I drew a mountain, clicked the icon to make it into a mountain, and then drew a bike going up it. However, there was no way to have a drawing with both a mountain and a bike.

It feels like this new "tolerance" somehow connotates "without bias" instead of "despite bias", which opens an avenue for persecuting perceived or potential bias (by some reasoning from base moral values) as a thought crime. This makes anything less than complete moral alignment a cause for bias and therefore "intolerance".

Tolerance and persecution together in harmony.
This thread is a bit jarring. And I think confirms why normal discussion is nearly impossible online now.

Dissent is expressed by 'affecting' expertise but not actually offering any evidence of expertise ie. I am an eye doctor or I am a researcher in this area or I have some experience in this area, and here is the evidence and informed opinion from the industry and research.

Skepticism is backed not by reason or logic but rushing to minimize or rubbish the claims with outrageously baseless innuendo about the author's hygiene and 'personal feelings'.

You can be never too careful when it comes to your eyes, and yet the thread is seemingly full not of dissenters and skeptics but people who apparently don't care.

Since no rational individual responds to risk by ignoring or dismissing them that's not a scientific mindset, it's an irrational mindset overwhelming discussion and debate.

This is a toxic attitude in most cases. What makes it inexcusable is we can all be 110% sure if it affected them personally or their family in the slightest way they would not be rushing to diminish or question the authors hygiene but asking for her help.

That's a key point. Google's primary business model relies on convincing you to not click on the "best search result". This is why they have, over time, reduced the visible difference between ads and real results. I've regularly found that lay users are not aware they are clicking on ads when they click on Google's search ads.

Even if Google is removing "x million bad ads", they are merely replacing bad ads with other bad ads. Removing bad ads doesn't significantly impact their revenue. I'd argue that while Google is willing to make gestures like removing some ads, they are unwilling to do what's necessary to protect users: Stop serving ads entirely where malicious ads are particularly prevalent, and clearly highlight the difference between ads and search results.

> In other words, are we saying that only certain kinds of people can be CEOs?

In short, yes.

There are plenty of rational people out there who don't care what someone does in their private life as long as it doesn't have a readily apparent effect on business. It's a shame that all people cannot be like this, because there are others who take a hard line stance against certain private matter that someone else may hold. That is, the fact that a CEO is a Dom in a D/s relationship will resonate so negatively with some people that is can adversely impact business.

He was asked to leave the Drupal community by its community leader against the recommendations of its Code of Conduct board, to a large amount of backlash by pretty much everybody, including many of those evil social justice warriors.

Gor is, for the most part, a personal way of going about one's private relationships. Unlike e.g. red pill doctrine, Goreans still respect consent at its core. Men and women both enter into Gorean relationships with full knowledge of what they entail, and generally speaking, the ability to leave if they find it necessary. Goreans don't "promote" their relationship model as a way that they think everyone should view the world at all times, and put down people who don't think that way.

In short - there's really nothing there for SJW types to be upset about. This is some guy who decided to discriminate against someone for how they go about their relationships and sexuality - precisely the sort of behaviour we're almost always against.
> Censorship is the suppression of free speech, public communication or other information which may be considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, politically incorrect or inconvenient as determined by governments, media outlets, authorities or other groups or institutions.

YouTube is acting as a media company while pretending to be a platform. They're engaging in censorship since they're removing things on political grounds. Now, if the rules were always "no vegan videos, no violence, only kittens," it would be a different story.
Bodybuilder Wade McCrae Washington Makes His Dream Come True
Personal experience: I met a good chunk of the people involved, and they're weirdos who we chose not to have business dealings with because you could tell something was off. We poached one of their best developers, who jumped ship the moment they saw we offered a less insane place to work. The rest of the community were too far up their own duffs to even notice us, and they were all geeking over going to their version of summer camp together.

The Drupal community- at least the outspoken ones in my area- are just the sort of self propagating incestuous clique that I knew this was going to happen. Have you actually seen Garfield? Dude shows up to conferences wearing a leather fedora with a matching leather vest. He is not a senior citizen. If you page back a bit, Garfield was one of those calling for people to hunt down the vile misogynist GamerGaters. I would wager he doxxed people he disagreed with during that event.

Imagine for a moment that Garfield is not a feminist. Maybe he's even an outspoken anti-feminist. And the Drupal community finds out that this anti-feminist used to lock up a severely autistic girl in his basement, and that he wears a fedora, and that he actively participates in a community that celebrates violent sexual acts against women in literature. Would the community care about consent? Would the community defend that person's right to privacy? Would the community preach tolerance? Or would they "punch the Nazi"?

I suggest the latter. This whole episode shows exactly what happens to someone guilty of wrongthink. The real debate they're having between the lines is only whether he's guilty or not. And guilt depends largely on which piece of clickbait journalism people read first, or what issue someone is more of an activist about.

Our company still uses Drupal, but nobody from our company is going to go to summer camp with the Drupal community.

It's portability vs usability. Linux runs on pretty much anything: from the smallest chips to the super computers. You can't make something that suits every use case perfectly, so in order to support such variety, compromises must be made. iOS/macOS runs only on a handful devices that were designed and build by a single company, it's not fair to compare the two.

Linux, because it runs Docker naively. Docker has been a game changer for my team's productivity; we are able to switch between projects and run a full development environment with little effort. Docker naively on Linux is a lot nicer IMO because there is no VM performance hit (such as on OSX or Windows) and INotify works for detecting code changes when code files are mounted into a container (need a Polling file watcher when on a VM in OSX or Windows).

Before buying new hardware, I ensure that it is Linux compatible. I go for Intel WiFi, integrated graphics in laptops, and ensure that the screen either looks fine at native resolution or 2x DPI scaling, since decimal scaling on Linux still has a ways to go. This usually limits me to 1600x900 or 3200x1800 on a 13.3"-14" screen, or 1920x1080 or 3840x2160 on a 15.6" screen. I don't plug an external monitor into the laptop (I've had too many issues with DPI mismatch, screen detection, etc.), instead I use a Desktop when at the desk. For desktops, Intel NUCs work well and a 27" 2560x1440 screen is great.

I maintain a dual-boot of Windows so that I can use Office and other programs that generally work better on Windows.
