It doesn't actually, but it's close.

SVG with media queries let you group paths as being used only above a certain rendered size which can prevent artifacts of fine details showing up at very low zooms.

I wish SVG had a mechanism for doing this that didn't involve scripts or css.
You can write QML apps in like every popular language, there are well supported bindings everywhere.

I dont get the C++ hate though. C++11 and up is a totally new language and much more productive than its reputation gives it.
A sizeable chunk (not sure on figures) of training courses are still produced using Flash. If it's not Flash, they are built using a Dreamweaver-esque authoring tool that spits out HTML & CSS. https://github.com/adaptlearning/adapt_framework is the only major open-source web framework.
But hair and fingernails are not alive. They are just extrusions of dead material. 3D printing, basically. Plus all hair has a growth limit after which it's discarded. Head hair of course has a longer limit than other hair.
I suspect it is possible you would be able to monetize your SVG experience in a more profitable way than an O'Reilly book by authoring an online course(s) for vendors like Pluralsight, Frontend Masters, or similar companies?

I'm surprised no solution in the kernel has ever been done.

But that said, I suspect the big reason is that setting uid and gid with threads is going to be messy no way how you slice it. Making setuid and setgid work per-thread, and then having programs coordinate a privileged loss over all the threads is easier to do since the programmer knows where in their code is an appropriate place to do the privileged loss, rather then having one thread trigger it to happen regardless of what the other threads are currently doing. But of course, there's always the chance a thread doesn't drop it's privileges, and since libc has to emulate the POSIX API anyway it just makes things a lot messier since it has to force all the threads to call the setuid or setgid function without having them call it in code.

But of course, I think it's notable that if you can (And in most cases, you probably can) you should be dropping privileges well before you start threads and the body of your program, and if you do that then this doesn't even become an issue in the first place. I would suspect that this is part of why this hasn't been added to the kernel - the user-space solutions are sufficient simply because most programs don't actually ever call these functions after they've already setup threads.
Doesn't work so well if you have a beard.
The issue there is that you pretty much have to use undefined behaviour in C and certain low-level applications of C++. C is therefore a broken language IMHO, but... there we have it.
Continuous Deployment with CircleCI and Capistrano for Web Applications

This is literally a textbook example survivorship bias.

I have known people start companies who do everything right. Have studied all literature, hired great people. Still failed.

I have known who do have the first clue about running business, fumbled their way around. Tried do everything themselves. Yet Succeeded.

To the last guy, entrepreneurship is easy and everyone can do it. To the first guy it is hardest thing ever.
> There are loads of stories like that.

Not compared with the loads of stories of people who worked hard, improved themselves, and still don't earn anywhere near $1M/yr. Otherwise thinking that those successes have some meaningful advice to offer wouldn't be survivorship bias, it'd actually be correct.

> Following the playbook of those that made it into the top 0.001% is foolish and does not properly account for the large part luck played in their success.

Exactly. As some guy once said, Taylor Swift telling you to put everything into your dreams of becoming a pop star is like a lotto winner telling you to spend your life savings on lotto tickets (a la the original comic).
Maybe, like in the mice studies, we could just graft baby goats to our backs after we hit 50.

No contacts, no domain experience -> you need 5-10 years to build these. Contacts+Experience are also a longer way to say "business value".

You have two ways to build it. One is always coming from the outside, hoping for nice/stupid people to explain it to you, hoping to get shitty contracts to make some kind of money. This way will be the slave road.

The alternative is becoming an excited new employee at a customer or another provider for your customers and work there for 5-10 years. You have rights (like laws working in your favour), you have regular income, you are at the table where things happen and get some tips from people who work in that area for 10+ years, and hell, you may even save a few bucks that later can be used to found a company.

Yes, you'll be your bosses bitch, but only to some degree, because of laws. Customers will be much, much more cruel. If you can't bow to a boss, you certainly won't be able to handle customers yourself.

If you neither have rich parents nor business value, don't attempt to build your own business. People just say that because they are part of the economy that makes money from the sacrifices you take on your own, or at least have rich parents themselves and therefore don't even know that it can be a problem if one is behind rent payment and lacks $20k in funds.
Not OP, but some thoughts on these cities:

Berlin - startup capital of Europe. Strong education system, low cost of living, dev salaries are held down by immigration from, and proximity to, Eastern Europe. Possible synergy with German automotive and manufacturing industries.

Shenzhen: global manufacturing hub, access to Chinese-speaking World. Major support from Chinese government. Possible synergy with supply chain, manufacturing, and logistics.

London: English speaking, global financial capital. Drawbacks include immigration questions and small population.

Toronto seems to be based largely on proximity to the US with a better healthcare and immigration system, plus the university of Waterloo.

Not sure what the obvious rationale would be for Vancouver or Chicago.
This is a broken compiler.
It might well meet the "standard", but it's still broken because it doesn't do what any reasonable person would expect it to do.
Seems it was 2000: http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~simon/howto/win2kcommands.html

It definitely worked on the boot partition at least on XP, not sure about 2k. If it can’t lock the drive it schedules it to be done at boot time (similar to on-boot chkdsk).
> Like fear, you should take Survivorship bias into account, but it should not dominate you. If you do you will do nothing in life.

I think it helps to consider which things done by successful people were necessary. Don't worry so much about whether they were sufficient, because that's going to involve a whole bunch of luck as well. But you can't win if you don't play.
It is indeed looking very complex, but that's because (as others have pointed out) it is still rather young. Ethereum itself is being implemented with a phased roadmap:
Frontier, Homestead, Metropolis, Serenity. We're still in the Homestead phase, and Metropolis (the next phase) will, for example include "a relatively full-featured user interface for non-technical users" [1]. But even this is probably still years away from simple usability for an average user.

Also, remember that understanding happens in layers. The web with all its components also once looked very alien to all of us (DNS, REST, Server, Client, Browser, FTP, Gopher, P2P, HTML, Javascript, the list goes on). We just take it all for granted because we grew up while layers were piled on top. But if you can't even tell a client from a server, then understanding how a modern web app works will also take a long time and will look way too complex.

This is not to say that ethereum will be as revolutionary as the web, just that simplicity can easier grow out of complexity than complexity can grow out of simplicity

> Because to them it's obvious.

And to them it's wrong! Much is said in this book which is difficult (but not impossible) to rigourously justify. It took centuries for calculus to be placed on a rigourous mathematical foundation; this foundation (called "real analysis", largely developed in the 19th century) is quite different from the intuitive ideas presented in this book. The presentation here (in particular the idea that dx² is negligible) can be made rigourous through "non-standard analysis", but this 20th century development is less-known (in fact, unknown to many mathematicians) and perhaps even more difficult than real analysis.

Rigour is not necessary to understanding, and can even be fatal to understanding, but it's how mathematicians work, and generally mathematics is taught by mathematicians.

Resources farmed is not the same as food produced. If you consumed all food produced but had stocks of farmed resources that could be used to make more food (wheat, sesame, beef, onions, say) then with excess capacity you could readily produce more food. Our supply chains are such that we can go from field to table in a day, that allows us to go field to freezer (or canning factory, or whatever) too.

This perhaps relies on non-capitalist management of food production however.

tl;dr I don't agree with your conclusion.

TIL.

I don't think I've ever seen one of these hotbox driers in person, but gathered somewhere that those had existed earlier and saw them as fully obsolete technology used only in some industrial settings. The fact that they are still sold and installed (with all the requirements) in ordinary homes is very surprising.

(Hint: if you buy a condensation dryer, buy one with a drainage hose, if at all possible. Unless you are a very punctual person, you probably won't learn to empty the water storage after every cycle despite that all the manuals tell you to do so, because it can hold water from several cycles – but you will find yourself having unexpectedly wet laundry from time to time when you start drying with an almost full water tank and are not near when the machine tells it can't continue the program.)

I have real issues with states like this where it's leaders deny climate change and prevent action on it, yet cry when issues like this occur. Similar when the BP oil spill occurred and they cried about the affect on their coast and fishing industries. They seemingly are fine with destroying their environment so long as it occurs over 50 years rather than 5 months.
I think that is a very "mathematician" thing to say; my own experience of doing mathematics is largely in accord. A little experience of teaching mathematics shows that this doesn't work for most people.

>Not compared with the loads of stories of people who worked hard, improved themselves, and still don't earn anywhere near $1M/yr

The vast majority of single digit millionaires are doctors, lawyers, construction company owners. I've even personally met a factory worker who retired with > $1mm in savings due to prudent money management (no lottery wins, just basic financial management for 30+ years).

I live in a completely unremarkable town and there are loads of millionaires around. I bumped into one recently when I accidentally stumbled onto his property while hiking. Judging by the sprawling estate he's at least in $5mm+ net worth range. What does he do for a living? He owns an earth moving company. That's right, at the ripe age of about 45, he made tons of money moving dirt from one spot to another. Lovely guy too.

My friend from high school is also in the millionaire club. We're both from a public school background. Unremarkable back stories in just about every way possible. Now he runs a very successful web agency. He's super smart, hard working and I'm sure that accounts for the majority of his success.

My point is that there are loads of millionaires around, even in my little backwater. Far, far more than there are lottery winners. Seems to imply that luck plays a far smaller role in the success of millionaire next door types than simple hard work.

Taylor Swift telling you to put everything into your dreams of becoming a pop star is like a lotto winner telling you to spend your life savings on lotto tickets

Except for the fact that you could spend millions of dollars on lotto tickets and have absolutely zero to show for it besides the loss of money.

However, if you put in the hard work to learn to be a musician, perform in front of others, go through the fire of creating your own music and sound, market yourself, etc. ... Even if you don't achieve Taylor Swift success, you've still got a lot of skills and knowledge and maybe even a decent career to show for it.

How tightly do they manage their production rate, presumably they're more careful than just "keep 6 on the warmer" and more like "the usual rate at this time is 70 per hour, we only lose 15% of those sales by asking the customer to wait, 5% of those losses go for other products, so we'll make at a rate of 1 every X minutes unless we have more than Y on hand"?

I've been asking people to name the most effective leaders in the area of global warming.

When I say my answer, they look surprised, but then agree: the Koch Brothers and Donald Trump. They are leading people not to change their behavior and this is the result. No one is leading in the direction of reducing consumption with nearly the effectiveness as them. Instead of leading ourselves, the overwhelming majority of Americans are waiting for others to change first.

In the meantime, most Americans, which I suspect includes most people reading these words, contribute more to global warming than nearly every human who has ever lived -- needlessly so, and not making them any happier.
