This ignores the fact that the default configuration is where most attention, and so bug fixing work is going to be.

That said, I'm more annoyed that Ubuntu users will now be exposed to GNOME's user-hostile design. I went looking for a good example or two, but some [1] kind soul did a lot of the compiling for me.

I still have no idea who G3's target user is. Worse, I don't think they do either.

could LAL not be created using recombinant DNA? We already produce insulin this way, and I can only assume that LAL is a protein. I'm guessing you couldn't use e. coli as the host though, given the protein's purpose.
For the most part, I just use one machine, which is physically adjacent to me. I'm not doing devops. I'm just doing dev. My workstation has a development database, web server, and everything else it needs. In the rare cases I need to connect interactively with other machines, I use graphical remote desktop.
Well the sort of rhetoric comes from the fact that economic considerations in our world are dealt with very quickly compared to environmental considerations.
I would say that your sentiment encapsulates the attitude I disagree with. Public is, by definition, public. As in, for us all. Your norms are valid, but so are mine as well as my child's. I could make the argument that if you want solitude, you should visit the library where this norm is agreeably enforced by all, but I wouldn't. What I'd say is that the next time you are around a child who you feel is disruptive, go up to the parent and say, "I don't mean to be rude, but I was sitting here reading this book before you got here, would you mind asking your child to play more quietly or play somewhere else". I promise you I would not be offended by this (as a parent very little offends me anymore). Just don't expect the default state of a child to be child in church.
Sure you could separate PHP the language from PHP the processing instruction and PHP the standard lib. But PHP calls itself a "hypertext preprocessor" (it's in the name) and PHP's own intro (literally on page 1, sentence 1, cf. [1]) advertises web templating as its distinguishing feature. So I think it's fair to compare PHP against other HTML generators.

Then trade with countries other than China (there are plenty of other countries in and near Asia -- such as Australia which has a very large agricultural industry due to having so much land)? Don't get me wrong, there are certain parts of agriculture (fishing for example) that make sense for a country like Japan, but considering how much land is required to grow crops sustainably it doesn't make sense (at least to me) to make your agriculture industry an important part of your protectionist rhetoric.

>Biomedical/pharmaceutical companies are reluctant to devote time and resources to qualify an alternative method as they are concerned that regulators will not accept the alternative method. However, the pharmacopeia publications include chapters that directly address what is needed to qualify an alternative method so that it will be acceptable by regulators.

Classic chicken and egg problem here. These companies don't want to invest in the lengthy regulatory approval process because they aren't sure they'll pass so progress on these alternative methods gets stalled, thus ensuring they look sub-optimal on paper, so the perceived risk level is probably higher than it should be.

Considering there are two alternatives here, one involving synthetically cloning DNA and the other simply using human blood, I can probably see why industry is slow to move off the crab blood process. The former is most likely much more expensive and patent encumbered, while the later involves harvesting humans instead of crabs. Human blood is needed for transfusions and has a high demand, so it makes sense to just use animal blood for endotoxin testing.

Ok, so now we care about the environment and the planet if we can set a price. If we estimate an animal race is worth a $10k we can extinct it.

I dislike very much to put a price on things just to be aware we need to protect them. Coral reefs have more value, it is not just about money.

So are we. And so is another department in our org.

Frankly, we're doing a piss poor job of it. Migrations don't happen even if manually ran, the compute nodes are already at capacity, even with the meagre VMs we use.

I have kept pushing for Mesos myself. I see it as a good way forward. Openstack may be a technical good body of code... But in the end its too convoluted codebase and many moving parts to be effective in most deployments.
Consortiums are inherently unstable. Marketing interests drive wild swings in participation and funding.

Open governance by individuals is much more stable. That stability benefits both individuals (whose stake is not vaporized when they change employers) and businesses (who are more insulated from impulsive moves by big players).

Almost every site like this gets this wrong - if the switching only happens once the image has finished loading, you need to otherwise hide the now-wrong image. Having to second-guess whether an image has loaded is asinine.
> I thought that a partition was always superior to a file (aside of the usability issues).

Pretty sure you've answered your own question there.
When Red Hat converted our OVirt VM/cloud management tool from C# to Java, it was done using an external tool (I think using a tool written by Tangible Inc). This converted the code mostly automatically, with some manual tidying up afterwards. It was about 100K lines of code, and I believe the conversion took about 6 months (while existing development continued). The project was ultimately successful. It is now a respected open source Java project and widely used and sold.

More on the conversion here: https://lpeer.blogspot.co.uk/2010/04/switching-from-c-to-jav...
That's a fair concern. This is why studying it is important. The scientists made some assumptions that the blood would regenerate and they would likely be fine. So agreed it's good they did this and they should find a way to do it more humanely, if possible.

> The International Union for Conservation of Nature, which sets global standards for species extinction, created a horseshoe crab subcommittee in 2012 to monitor the issue. The group decided last year that the American horseshoe crab is "vulnerable" to extinction—a higher level of danger compared to the last Red List assessment in 1996.

An artificial replacement might be the only long term solution. Or mass breeding, if it is indeed so expensive.

> And then there's the pure damn necessity. While several companies have come up with synthetic alternatives for detecting the presence of endotoxins in vaccines, medicine, and medical instruments, LAL is still the only test that has received FDA approval.

If the fund is distributed according to sales, how does any of that apply?

They still have to compete for profits to get a share, their sales are just worth a little bit extra to offset the cultural benefit of more freely available music. (Eg, for each dollar they take in, they actually get $1.01.)

There are a lot of variables in play so a perfect answer isn't possible, however, calling 18-24 months BS is almost certainly wrong. 18-24 months sounds like the ideal answer.

Note that you can spend $8k/month or you can spend $2k/month, depending on where and how you want to live while you're founding your startup. The nominal dollar amount could be a huge range.

You could also reduce the dollar amount of savings you need by the revenue in your MVP - if you're making $1k/month on a software startup you'll probably be able to net that against your monthly spend, even if most of that $1k/month is currently going towards fixed costs. The difference between an MVP that generates revenue and one that does not is enormous.

This whole economic setup becomes more fascinating by the minute.. a shared, near socialistic economy on personal goods- and a buy/sell full capitalistic economy on virtual goods. Finally some mass producion, where the tailoring of the product is left to private sub-contractors.

While I think the are seriously overpaid, actors/athletes have to fight to stay relevant - they may fall out of favor at any time. CEOs make loads of money regardless of their performance. CEOs are rarely hired by open-market competitions, but rather by peer (read: boys' club) referral.

The true strength of the rope data structure its performance in worst case conditions. Even after a huge series of edits, it recombines leaves and rebalances the tree so it's almost as efficient as when it's loaded freshly. It's not like a piece table, which is amazingly efficient at first and then fragments.

[The actual analysis is much more subtle, as the tree invariants are a minimum and maximum number of children for non-root non-leaf nodes, and a minimum and maximum leaf size. When freshly loaded, the code is careful to maximally pack both, and after extensive editing the distribution will be more varied. However, it's still rigorously O(log n), so it ends up being a small constant factor. Might be worth doing some empirical performance testing.]
For a non-airbnb example of this, look at Ireland: they have minimal regulations/barriers to entry for starting a (real) B&B, and the result is that you can get great accommodations all over this heavily-touristed island for €35-55/night. Truly one of the great deals in European travel.
On a purely technical level they don't per se, however platform features like power management, graphics, ISA extensions etc. needs OS support. The latter part is pretty much just used as leverage by Microsoft and Intel (which also stopped driver support IIRC) to force people into Windows 10.

Well I guess my only real problem is the group assessing the value is not government backed and as such may not have strict enough guidance when determining impact.

However the need for assessment if there is a reasonable means to correct the issue or prevent future occurrence. I doubt we can correct it and do we know if this has ever occurred without possibility of man's activities? I would be curious as to the evolution of coral reefs, what is their historic variability?
There are signs in the data that the downsampling technique that is being used is not gamma-correct. That would somewhat undermine the results (and also the NNs, if they were trained on similarly broken inputs). Can one of the authors clarify that gamma-correct downsampling/blurring/convolution was used?
I do not think it is an unfair comparison since Sequel has both basic parts on the same level as PDO, and then implements the more advanced features on top of these basic parts. The basic parts of Sequel has superior usability and safety to PDO.

Sequel's right way:

user = db['SELECT name FROM users WHERE id = ?', id].first

Sequel's wrong way:

user = db["SELECT name FROM users WHERE id = #{id}"].first

PDO's right way:

$stmt = $db->prepare('SELECT name FROM users WHERE id = ?');
$stmt->execute([$id]);
$user = $stmt->fecth();

PDO's wrong way:

$user = $db->query("SELECT name FROM users WHERE id = $id")->fetch();

As you can see PDO is optimized for doing things easily the unsafe way while Sequel has the safe way as the normal way of running queries which is just as easy to use as the unsafe way.

> Just like any other template language (thinking of something like ColdFusion or ASP), of course one unescaped variable is going to be a headache.

That is simply not true. Look at Twig which by default escapes everything automatically, or Rails's patched ERB which keeps track of escaped an unescaped strings based on data types and makes sure everything is automatically escaped in the end. In those template languages you need the explicitly do something unsafe to get an unescaped value. While in PHP you need to audit all places where echo can be called directly or indirectly.
there's a big difference between "terrible business" (as the ISPs are) and "creeping towards totalitarianism" (as the airlines are). I wouldn't use this as a case for market deregulation or whatever it is you imagine might improve things. This is really fundamentally a cultural issue and not an economic one.

The problem isn't that United Airlines has insufficient competition (probably true). The problem is that United staff and airport security staff are given inappropriate amounts of power with no checks and balances when things get out of hand and that our society has become so deranged and paranoiac that we let them get away with it.

If you're talking about ropes in general, Boehm et al. [1] is the authoritative source. There's a wikipedia page, too, but I find it way more confusing than it needs to be.

If you're interested in applications to other domains, we use ropes as the basis of the String data type in TruffleRuby. TruffleRuby is open source, so you can see that implementation by checking out the code in the org.truffleruby.core.rope package [2]. We had to extend the basic idea of ropes to better match Ruby's semantics, such as making them encoding-aware. I gave a talk about it at last year's RubyKaigi [3] that dives into real world trade-offs.

There are also a lot of various rope implementations out there. You probably can find one for your language of choice.

Why?
In my opinion, it is dangerous to draw conclusions about responsibility from phone usage only. Even if the conclusions may be correct in 95% of all cases, what about the other five percent? To me, the imagination of a company that does not provide any or only superficial customer support which will not help me in case their algorithms do not match is creepy.

In this case it might not be a big deal because you might be able to find another loan provider but it might become one if this kind of automated scoring gets more common.

It was by far the most polished and modern looking Linux desktop.

That is an opinion not shared by everyone. I found it to have questionable design direction. Unity was best on the platform where it was initially released, being screen-size constrained netbooks. It just stops making sense on the desktops everyone has. Hiding menu/scroll bars and the like...

No one is in a position to decide what is NIH, fragmentation, duplication of effort or 'good' for the community. Individuals cannot speak for a community.

It's called sharing one's opinion, and it happens everywhere. Mir had nothing to offer to the larger ecosystem, and neither did Unity. Uniqueness or being a "third option" isn't a virtue all on its own, and it looks like that lesson finally hit home.

A couple of observations:

1. If I try to sign in using Facebook, typing in my username, does not result in anything appearing in the text box. When I try to enter it in anyway, assuming it is being entered but not displayed, it shows me that the username has not been entered.

2. The opening screen tells me to swipe left, but it shows me the next screen only when I swipe right.

I hated it because it was incredibly user hostile, at least for users like me.

It broke the alt key. I need three things to work: emacs, web and shell. Two of those three need the alt key. Also, it was always flaky under virtualization (due to needing 3d acceleration).

Finally, the last time I tried to use it (16.04, I think), it was full of spyware by default. By the time I removed all the lenses, etc, apt was so confused that the machine couldn't boot. I have been running debian / ubuntu for nearly two decades, and this is the only time this has happened to me.

Fixing these problems would be trivial compared to the effort of implementing unity from scratch. I suspect the core problems with unity were symptoms of structural issues at canonical. Hopefully they'll be fixed now that Shuttleworth is back in charge.
This number does not make sense at all. Yes, certain sites lost visitors because of loss of coral reefs, but how come this financial effect is global? Do visitors go to other places? Even if they stay home, don't they spend money on other things? Even if they don't spend those money, can the savings help them in the future? It is just ridiculous to claim losing certain visitors as global financial cost.
