I think part of the idea is that you still have the option to use your current salary as part of negotiation. If they make you a low offer just come back with "I make X right now, you need to at least match that".
Not the case on Arch, but you can customize timeout anyway[1], using TimeoutSec, TimeoutStartSec and TimeoutStoptSec, or even the global setting[2].

Aren't they getting a large portion of their data from 3rd party apps connecting to their api? Interesting products (like Pinterest and Snapchat) should make the steady inflow of data a safer bet.

Additionally, the user gets to tell Foursquare when to track my current location. Compare that to something like Uber, which is trying to always track you. I am more okay with this type of discretionary tracking.
How would Uber know they are different implementations unless they knew what Google's implementation consists of?
The problem is that local politics don't really make the differences that people care most deeply about.

Maybe that should be different. This is why I'd like to see a more federalist approach. Where really passionate issues could be decided as locally as possible without everything having to be handled by the feds. That's how America was supposed to work, at least. A federation of states, not a country with administrative divisions.
This is also true in Seattle. The "makerspaces" here are incapable of working with anything beyond PLA. There are some cool tool libraries, which can be useful for larger hardware projects, but there seems to be very little in the way of true hackerspaces. If you want to get into EE or circuitry in the US, there are plenty of good online resources, but you will be at a severe disadvantage to people living in parts of the world with active maker communities.

But I think there's a reason for that. Innovation faces a steep uphill climb in the USA.

1. I have a cool idea, but I don't have the capital to bootstrap it right away. No problem, I can work and draw a wage while doing my research on the side, right? Nope! This is America, and your employer likely claims to own everything that you create or think of, on or off the clock.

2. I have a cool idea, and want to play around with it even though I could use some help with some basic concepts. Well that's great, but I'm on my own. There are no incubators that specialize in electronics or circuitry, no groups of experienced hardware hackers to mentor newcomers, and no specialized training or local resources. You also cannot source circuit components locally when most cities seem to lack a single hobby shop. Often if you want to find out if a circuit will work, you need to wait a whole week for new parts, if you're lucky and can find them from a stateside retailer at a reasonable price.

3. You might think that academic institutions would make themselves available to their surrounding communities, offering night classes and/or access to facilities like machine shops or lab equipment which are typically beyond the reach of an individual. You would be wrong; this is America, and if you don't pay full tuition, you can fuck right off.
> They're not "hidden", just managed with systemctl like other services.

So far in the history of nix, services have never equaled periodic tasks, to my knowledge. In that sense, it's a hidden surprise that would sooner or later bite everybody that has not been initiated in systemd. It makes things harder to debug.

> As to the rationale of including timers, it is for stuff like mounting and unmounting remote disks etc, at boot

Now do you go from that need to "and that requires an internal crond implementation in your init system". Why not atd, or regular cron, or sleeping processes? I'm genuinely curious, so if you're aware of public discussion of it, please point me in that direction.

> The SysV init scripts would regurarly break in subtle ways by themselves to be honest, I find systemd a much saner option.

I appreciate that the chaining and dependencies of SysV init were horrible. That doesn't make it OK for systemd to introduce more subtle breakages in even a very basic* usecase.

> The systemd network stack is entirely optional and intended for scenario where you can't afford/don't need the 'fatness' of NetworkManager

In the scenario where you do not need NetworkManager/GUI hostnamed would be quite worthless as well. /etc/hostname and the `hostname` command are more than enough to handle that case, thank you.

I guess my main issue with systemd is that it introduces (mostly?) unnecessary complexity, which makes me waste more time debugging problems. Of course it is better than SysV init, and I'm very happy with the syntax of system files. Yet, upstart showed that you can have those niceties without an excess of complexity.
Add Splunk. Super friendly.
Most of those drivers are shims for huge binary blobs.
Instead of lambasting it for a low number, perhaps you could tell us what you'd have a child do in 17KB that they couldn't do in 16KB?

It's an educational device, and that education involves learning to write pieces of code for which industry users may well prefer to pull in large libraries. I'd be surprised if the target audience - 12-13 year olds - use all that; those that have a passion for it will of course end up using more expensive devices with bigger numbers. Those that don't will continue doing only compulsory exercises that could probably manage with less than 16KB.
"You have to be ruthlessly open-minded and constantly willing to reexamine your assumptions. You have to take the ego out of ideas, which is a very hard thing to do." - Marc Andreesen

Having ego in the idea means to equate the idea with yourself. So if someone criticizes the idea, ask questions, points out flaws, or issues with it a) don't take it personal and b) you need to be open to those and not dig your heels in refusing to adapt because "then it isn't my idea!"
That's not the point. The point is 2 sides of the aisle reported similar metrics and politifact 'ruled' at the 2 different extremes.
Yeah. I saw that in testing and never got around to it.
So I've read your post a few times, and I'm pretty confused. What exactly does this have to do with my post? What does uclibc have to do with kernel ABIs?
Absolutely, yes it is great for planet wide life and overall diversification, typically at the expense of the incumbents.
sorry. I thought it was visible. It should be there now.
Neither party is contesting that the documents were stolen [1]. Everyone is basically assuming that he did it; Uber's defense in this preliminary-injunction hearing is that the stolen documents never made it to Uber.

One great example of this from the New York Times:

Interesting, thanks. Does this need to do a round-trip for every question, though? Seems unnecessary, just spit out 10 of them per request or something.
The current state of patent law is that the only way you can be sure not to infringe on it is to never build anything, ever. In that environment, I can actually sympathize with "I'm breaking the law, but I don't want to get in trouble".
If it's a "dealing pot" sort of infringement (e.g. against patents that shouldn't exist, but do), then it's a legitimate reason to hide their tracks. If it's a "robbing banks" level of infringement, then it's not.

I don't buy the idea that the ideal just hasn't been tried. It has been tried. To the extent that it always instantly degenerates into the same failures when tried at scale, that's not because it hasn't been done right... it's because it doesn't work. They always turn into dictatorships almost instantly because that turns out to be the only way to keep the proletariat from discussing the fact that this Communism thing isn't working out as promised and we should probably throw the bums who made the promises out. Turning into a police state, and based on the evidence, killing a few thousand to a few million of the most talkative[1] to intimidate the rest becomes instantly the only way for the animals-who-are-more-equal to stay more equal. Even the propaganda moves used to justify this to the populace are tediously predictable ("those failures you're trying to talk about don't exist but to the extent they do they're the fault of people trying to keep their ill-gotten gains away from the revolution." Have you ever really thought about why "re-education camps" are called that?).

I am not aware of a successful "communism" that scales above the Dunbar number, and while I can point at ones that are arguably successful at sizes below that number there are even more that have failed even below that number.

[1]: People who post to the internet about how wonderful Communism are generally posting about how wonderful it would be to have a government who would target them for death pretty early on, as they are the "talkative ones" who would be watched. Same, incidentally, for the people who actively riot in favor of giving the government lots more powers to, oh, say, take "care" of people passionate enough to riot in favor of overthrowing the government, which is really appealing right up to the point that you are the government.

Counterargument to that is the whole "teach the controversy" dispute. Evolution is the only scientifically accepted theory, there are sources which disagree but placing eg Intelligent Design on the same level as Evolution is disingenuous.
I work for Microsoft, but I got my Surface Pro 4 before joining. For me, the pen is a required feature, since I have been using a ThinkPad X201T for a long time. While NTrig2 is still lacking for painting (compared to Wacom), it is actually better for note-taking and diagram-drawing thanks to much less parallax. What makes SP4 stand out when I purchase is its small size and detachable keyboard. The competing Vaio offering was way too expensive while featuring only last gen CPU.

If you consider Nature in general, nothing is good or bad. Colder is better for organisms that prefer cold, warmer for those that prefer warm. No life at all might be best for the geological (or should I say areological) wonders on Mars.

Ethically speaking, I think most climate change "alarmists" (what is the equivalent word with positive connotation?) are either worried for the species that will go extinct, or the poorer humans that will suffer the most from it.
Care to add anything to the conversation, or are you just here to stereotype?
Not defending Uber here (it's pretty obvious that they fucked up big time here), but in these cases it's common to allow counsel (and counsel only) to look at both companies' IP as part of the discovery process. Counsel then giving access to information they found in that process would be grounds for pretty immediate disbarring.
I think their point is that you can say the same about closed hardware. And since you're already putting a black-box hardware component into the system (with its own black-box firmware, as well), how much more harmful is it to have a closed driver?
That, and robbing banks is a violation of criminal law. Patent infringement is a tort. Way different set of concerns.
They're both really just summaries of Tara Sinclair's view, aren't they? Not that it makes them more objective for showing someone else's bias, but the interpretation of the metric selection is essentially a summary of her statements in both.
Well, it would not eliminate spin, of course. It may make spinsters limit themselves to spinning true facts - as opposed to spinning invented ones. "Fact checking" has inherent limits - and one must recognize them and not turn fact checking into opinion. But, it serves it purpose. It's not a magic formula to win every argument - it's just a way to keep arguments from turning completely insane.
The main problem with the public domain is that there is no such thing as "the public domain". Each country has its own copyright law, with its own terms and conditions. What the public domain means in the US is not what the public domain means elsewhere i.e. Germany. In Germany an author has Moral Rights which the author is incapable of giving up and may only transfer as apart of their will. So rather than require all German contributors to be dead and have a will that grants their moral rights to the project, using a permissive license gets the same effect.

> It's theoretically possible to build a regex parser in C++ templates, right?

You'd probably do large portions of it in "constexpr" types and functions rather than relying on recursive metaprogramming techniques.

They are also planning on adding overloading based on whether a function is constexpr, which is important if you want the same library to support both compile-time and run-time matchers.

So it's all theoretically possible already. But D has the advantage here in that it's not just possible but usable.

> Foursquare is on the path to $100 million in revenue, and profits are within sight for the first time.

Serious question: how is a software company that's bringing in $100MM a year without any substantial overhead in terms of physical manufacturing or shipping or similar real-world expenses not profitable. As far as I can tell, they'd have to have infrastructure costs well into the double digit millions yearly and/or 450+ employees on payroll, neither of which is true as far as I can tell (regardless of how prudent either would be for them).

I want to recommend a great source of free, public domain audiobooks: Librivox.[1]

There are many parts of the std lib that assume GC usage. When you mark a function as @nogc, DMD does a compile-time check and will not compile your program if there's a GC call. Applying this to main means that your entire program will by necessity be GC free.
As far as "change" and "cohesive society", it's possible that the only reason that the Chinese have a 2500-year-old cohesive society is because of initial resistance to change. How else can you have one "society" across a dozen dynasties, from the ancient world through the medieval world to the modern one?

It's a lot harder to claim that some old druids or even the anglo-saxons are the same society as modern british-descended english speakers.
> The problems aren't facts. The problems are what completely distorted pictures of reality you can implicitly paint with completely solid and true facts.

Both are problems.
This is typical. Judges that refuse to say anything about arguments they aren't buying are insecure about being too transparent on appeal. More senior judges will tell you rather quickly if they think your argument doesn't hold any water or alternatively that even if your argument is right, you're not going to get the outcome that you're pleading for. They won't 'decide' then and there, but they'll often make it clear that absent some big reveals come discovery time that you're in big trouble.
Predicting Properties of Molecules with Machine Learning
You still need to be sharply realistic about your own ideas, though. Blindly charging ahead with the first idea that occurs to you, as an entrepreneur, is probably not going to work no matter how strongly you believe the world will get there. Neither will not charging ahead at all, assuming that because the last 10 ideas failed the next one will too.

Many years ago on HN, I think before he even became part of YC, Paul Buchheit said "You have to be arrogant enough to believe that everybody else is wrong, but humble enough to believe that you may be wrong too." That about sums it up.
I sort-of feel this way. Not enough to give up my voice (vote), but to a degree I think it doesn't matter if I'm worried about politics/news/Tomahawk missiles, or who I vote for, or whatever.

I "fixed" it by moving to a remote location where, at least, things affect me less. Our county is poor, not much money to mishandle. Our road isn't paved, no potholes to fix and no expectation to have a perfect gravel road. No building permits. Cheap property tax. Neighbors don't visit, no traffic driving by.

I go out and vote and then try to avoid political debate, news, etc. I'm not exactly burying my head in the sand, but it's sort-of close.

And then I'm building up my property (a homestead of sorts) and self-reliance.

I don't have any romantic ideas that I'm going to shut myself off from the world and do it all myself, but I do have the idea that I can limit my exposure to a large degree.

So far, it's been really nice.
Yes, the runtime is actually built on ARM's mbed, which means their online IDE can also build micro:bit programs :)
It reminds me Adam Gopnik's idea of a "theory checker"

> [You would] get exactly the same incomprehension and suspicion if you told American intellectuals and politicians, post-interview, that a theory checker would be calling them. "It's been a pleasure speaking to you," you'd say to Al Gore or Mayor Giuliani. "And I'm going to write this up; probably in a couple of weeks a theory checker will be in touch with you."

> Alarmed, suspicious: "A what?"

> "You know, a theory checker. Just someone to make sure that all your premises agree with your conclusions, that there aren't any obvious errors of logic in your argument, that all your allusions flow together in a coherent stream -- that kind of thing."

Everything has some wiggle room, but both fact checking and spell checking rely on precise rules to a great exent. You just have to recognize when something is really an opinion. Many things on Politifact, etc. are inferences and conclusions composed of facts, but not facts themselves.

"Aaron Burr was vice-president of the US in 1803." Fact.

"The Sun convert light elements to heavier ones via fusion." Fact.

"It is legal for a licensed gun owner to open-carry in California." Falsehood.

"The US is in an economic depression." Too vague, can't be fact checked.

"The US has lower unemployment than in 2010, and higher unemployment than in 2000." Fact.
