Seriously. NPM/bower downloads are at least 50% of our CI build time - which also includes compiling a largish C# solution, running unit tests, generating PDF documentation, building an installer, and putting everything through ReSharper code inspections.

That's when those download/install steps don't just fail for some unrecorded reason.
I agree, which is why I find it baffling that the author started out complaining about the set design and the limited outdoor scenes -- for a movie made in 1984. C'mon, it was a lot harder then. One of the directors almost died falling off of a miniature model used in a establishing shot. And I like the dark baroque sets, they'll always be the canonical look for my internal Dune universe.

(I do think the second half of the movie and the battle scenes kinda dragged, though.)
I mostly agree with the premise that it's a deeply flawed film that fails to capture many parts of what makes Dune such a masterpiece. That said, the scene where Paul calls his first sandworm is one of my favorites (the great Toto score certainly helps) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bj7R_2WWdKs

What I enjoyed most about Lynch's version is he got the looks right. From costumes to hair color of the characters. These are simple things that book readers do notice. While his weirding devices and rain at the end were not great choices they did not take away from the movie too much for me.

Where I like the SF version was the followup, Children of Dune. That I enjoyed, I didn't care for Leto's transformation makeup but marked it off as budget.
Yes, that's a pretty good analogy. Except our "chromium" (Moby) actively encourages and facilitates creating completely different types of "browsers", not just Docker.

I had a similar realization this semester. It felt like after I learned a new concept, I had to give it time to solidify.

The best students were always caught up with the class and following along whereas the average or below students were fully focused on one class at a time depending on which one had an assignment/exam coming up.

I wondered why some students are able to keep up while others fall behind. I think it boils down to efficient study strategies like this and never falling behind in one class because there's something due for another class.

No implication that NAT is bad. 6to4 space (and RFC 4193 space, if needed) would be explicitly okay for use with NAT, like RFC 1918 space. Allow NAT from IPv6 on the inside to IPv4 on the outside, as well as IPv6-to-IPv6 NAT.

Extend ARP to support IPv6 addresses instead of designing NDP. Use DHCPv6 like DHCPv4. Don't have SLAAC; encourage the use of existing techniques (static addressing or DHCP). Don't have RAs.

Don't have privacy addresses, because they're not needed, because NAT is expected. Don't have Teredo, because again, you're expected to get IPv6 addressing from some NAT technology.

Note that I'm not super advocating for extending the IPv4 space to IPv6, except via 6to4 if you want to. IPv6 continues to be its own space. But the advantage here is that you don't have compatibility problems from clients that support RDNSS and not DHCPv6 (looking at you, Android) or vice versa, because the way you do things in IPv6 is just like the way you do them in IPv4 and you can use the existing software stack with just a different typedef. You don't have problems with IPv6's infatuation with multicast and aging network architectures that only begrudgingly support it and fall back to broadcast quickly (cf. https://blog.bimajority.org/2014/09/05/the-network-nightmare... ); you're only using network features that IPv4 already requires your hardware to support. And so forth.

No implicit 64/64-bit split in addresses, where if you want to build an equivalent architecture to IPv4 NAT, you must have at least a /64 (there are plenty of service providers that give you a /128, and your only option becomes NAT66). With IPv4, if you get so much as a /31, you can usefully put two computers behind it. With IPv6, there's no way to implement, say, SLAAC with a /127; you have to use static addressing or DHCPv6. And you lose privacy addresses, which means you have less effective privacy than IPv4 NAT.

That's the sort of thing I mean by "backwards compatible."

Once we're on IPv6, by all means, convince everyone that you have better ways of doing everything. But if you tie the IPv6 transition to "NAT is bad and if you need it you suck", "multicast is great and if you don't support it you suck", etc., the only thing you'll succeed in doing is delaying the IPv6 transition.
If this were a suburb of Stockholm or any other European city of 250,000, there would be train service and bus service several times an hour. These are the choices Europeans have that we don't, because they devote more of their income to collective goods.

I'm really not sure what America spending their infrastructure tax dollars on highways and roads instead of buses and trains has to do with tax rates. Sweden could have lower taxes and still spend their money better.

It would be much more apt to compare Madison with e.g. Malmo or Uppsala and middle-of-nowhere Wisconsin wilderness with the same in Sweden. I'm sure he'll find remote areas of Sweden just as inaccessible as the remote areas of the US he is using as a comparison point.

Funny how marijuana was most mentioned with Donald Trump. I know the /r/trees subreddit thought Trump would be good for recreational Marijuana but doesn't look like that is true.

You'll note that I said "political/social/ethical". I'd be willing to look at any hard science fiction books that don't have a social/ethical/political problem at their core. Hell, even Asimov's relatively simple short stories about robots had stunning sociological observations at their core (I'll go with "Victory Unintentional" and "Robbie" as my examples).

It was really fun way to communicate as a nerdy high schooler. One of my best friends was varsity football player, a jock who was a closeted nerd. We would both go home to our own houses at lunch time and dial up the local BBS and chat with each other about (what else?) BBSes.

My parents were very anti-computer at the time because I spent so much time on it and they would never let me spend any of the money I earned at my busboy job on computer parts so I had to be sneaky about it. I eventually pilfered the $150 to get a Zoom 14.4Kbps modem and me and my buddy took his car to CompUSA and bought modems on the sly. I had to pull mine out of the packaging and ditch the box and sneak it home in my backpack so my folks wouldn't see, then be sure to mute the modem speaker so they wouldn't notice the changed negotiation tones.

It seems so ridiculous now: computers became my meal ticket in a very big way and I'm eternally grateful that I had the balls to secretly buy that modem.
Very happy that countries continue pushing into space. However couldn't help but notice that SpaceX is progressing faster than anyone else. Long March 7 that they used for this mission had just 2 launches [1] compared to similar by payload to LEO Falcon 9's more than 30 launches [2].

They likely buckled under largely because the users wanted to be able to watch Netflix, and there was no way that Mozilla was going to convince Netflix to adopt a different solution. So they had a choice of either being the 1 browser that doesn't work with Netflix (and other streaming services like that), or joining the crowd. Most users don't care about DRM for things like Netflix; if you don't like it, you don't have to use it. No one's forcing you to subscribe to Netflix, and it's not representative of the rest of the web. (It is totally unlike, for instance, sites like this, or news sites with articles, or blogs, etc.) It was a pragmatic choice: either work with popular sites that people like, or become irrelevant because of some extremists. Those chose to remain relevant.

Ad-blocking is not the same. Ad-blocking doesn't prevent you from seeing most sites (and for those that it does, you can selectively turn off the ad-blocker; you don't have to ditch your browser). What incentive would Firefox have to prevent people from installing an ad-blocker? If they did that, they'd lose whatever relevance they still had, because people would just switch to Chrome.

> I fully support making sidewalks into multi-purpose trails where they can accommodate both pedestrians and cyclists

Mixed use paths are only safe if the cyclists are leisurely riding. Cyclists at speed sharing a path with pedestrians are quite dangerous. Pedestrians are rarely paying attention and will wander directly in front of cyclists. Being on a "sidewalk" is also quite dangerous to cyclists if the trail ever intersects car traffic, and it will if useful for commuting.

The solution is not to put cyclists on pedestrian paths but to make bike paths in the road safer. Part of this is infrastructure. Part of this is building slower roads. Much of it is culture as drivers need to do a better job of being safe with cyclists.

Was that mentioned in one of the replies? I don't see any specific libraries mentioned in the linked message, or the other replies I searched through.

edit: Scratch that, it was in this reply: https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/tb-planning/2017-March/00... . "I'd suggest using TypeScript, Mithril.js, Tachyons, and Node.js for the base technologies -- probably with Mocha/Chai for testing. Later we can make a more stand-alone desktop version with Electron or such. We could use socket.io to push notifications for changes in real or virtual folders and then use Mithril.js (a vdom library) to quickly rerender changed data the client UI requests (or is pushed)."

Worth noting that reply looks more like a wishlist of stuff than a meaningful viable proposal.
SciFi network (back when it was still SciFi and not "sharknados") did a pretty good miniseries. It doesn't have big budget special effects, but I thought it did a reasonable job of expanding on the story that didn't appear in Lynch's version.
Of course it happens.

I knew a surgeon who chose to work half days because the marginal gains were not as good as working half days (in Ontario, so his marginal rate was ~50%).
I agree about childhood days, but I don't know if that's entirely it.

I think we now take technology for granted and apps/sites are less special of a thing than BBSs were. Users are fickle, so much is fad-based, and we move on to the next thing without a strong feeling towards the last. Using Snapchat isn't a primary hobby or thing that you devote time to, more of a thing you do while doing some other primary thing. If that makes sense. :)

I doubt that memories of Snapchat will be as strong to a user as memories of BBSs. But who knows.
You beat me to my comment! That's a bummer you actually got a ticket for it. It's illegal where I live too, but I've never seen anyone get a ticket for it. I did have a lady yell "get on the sidewalk!" one time while I was riding down a 2 lane 1 way road. She didn't like the fact I had my own lane, which is legally what I am supposed to do. Sometimes I wish they taught the cycling rules better at the DMV...
We moved the repository because the first task of the Moby project is to break up the Docker engine monolith into smaller components, and spin them out into separate repos. We started doing that with libnetwork, containerd, distribution etc, but we are not done yet. docker/docker is where that monolith lives, and where its maintainers work.

Once the componentization is complete, Moby will be an integration repository, with the tools necessary to combine upstream components into a complete system. We will use it to assemble Docker, and other system builders can use it to assemble alternatives to Docker.
> The comment implied that repeated doses to a given person are wildly unpredictable. This is false.

I didn't imply that repeated doses are unpredictable.

Regular repeated dosages can be predictable as long as the patient remains stable with regards to infection/health and other drugs they ingest. Initial dosages, dosage increases and returning to a previously safe repeated-dose after cessation are not at all predictable.

This is why I mentioned titration in a previous comment: subjective response to drugs and subjective tolerance cannot be accurately predicted or measured.

This is also why drugs like Subutex are titrated when beginning suboxone treatment: a doctor cannot accurately measure tolerance to determine how much of the drug is needed to keep a person out of withdrawals.

> you absolutely can approximate how long tolerance lasts

Naloxone or naltrexone induced withdrawal rapidly diminishes tolerance faster than it would naturally.

This suggests that there's a function that can accurately output a safe and effective dose of opioids based on the variables of previous dosage and time since cessation. I'm arguing that there is a missing variable that's unable to be measured accurately: each person's subjective tolerance. That subjective tolerance depends on a multitude of factors that cannot be determined clinically.
I forgot they released the Z7. The main reason I recommended the ordinary Arty is because I have one sitting here :) It's also a bit cheaper, it seems... Digilent will apparently be releasing a Spartan-7 Arty variant soon, too. (No clue what the new Spartans will have to offer...)

TBH I'm not sure whether new people should really jump into combo SoCs, since there's a lot more to manage in some sense. OTOH, having an ARM processor at hand makes some interfacing tasks actually practical!

C# is definitely more prevalent than Scala in Enterprise environment. In my experience even between Java and C# it's close to a 55/45 split in Java's favor. Most of the OG Enterprise jobs that people think of like banking will be Java, most of the rest will be C#.

Trying to classify Dune, I think it's more of a Hyper-Postappocalyptic setting with today's eyes.

I tend to think of Fantasy as linked to philosophy (moral choices etc), while Sci-fi is linked to sociology (what would society be like if...). But those classes don't really help with Dune, so I choose the HPA definition.

I think you're confusing an absolute hermetic market monopoly with anti-trust law.

Anti-trust law doesn't require a total monopoly. It requires evidence of monopolistic practices which adversely affect consumers and customers.

If you're negotiating, it's not a monopoly. If you're negotiating with a gorilla you can't afford to anger, or if you're being told what to buy and when and not negotiating at all, it's a monopoly.

IBM, AT&T, MS all showed clear evidence of anti-trust breaches.

The PDP-11 proves the point. DEC's PDP series was marketed as a Programmed Data Processor and not a Computer because the IBM had a lock on computer sales and rentals. Upper management in most of America would never authorise a computer purchase from anyone other than IBM.

Marketing the series as a PDP meant technicians, scientists, and engineers could buy a computer through a side-channel that bypassed the usual corporate acquisition process.

This wouldn't have been necessary if no lockdown existed.

RCA, Honeywell, and others all tried to break into the computer market directly. Only CDC succeeded, and that was only because Cray gave CDC a lead in HPC that IBM couldn't match.

For bread and butter corporate computing, IBM really did own the market.

I'm only demonstrating that the assertion that increasing marginal rates always means a larger share of the tax burden is put on the rich -- this is not true.

The example is given to be demonstrative, not to represent a real world scenario.

Everything depends on the specific numbers, clearly. That's the point I'm trying to make as well.
This can be said about anything, though. You still have to develop muscle memory for shortcuts and menu paths in other applications.

Dune is great sci-fi even just for pointing out the future might look more like the past than the present.

Then, the middle books cover prescience and its implications. The last two have more typical 80's sci-fi: ships, planets, weapons, dystopian overcrowded cities.

The final clincher for me though is the strong thread of politics* throughout and the exploration of relationships outside of the bounds of the possibilities of past or present.

In case you can't guess, I highly rate it all! (Although 2 and 3 are a bit weaker.)

* Indeed, in an early scene, Paul identifies the purpose of the Bene Gesserit as politics, and they are arguably the main thread of the books.
I mostly ride to work across the CBD in my city (Perth, Western Australia).

Three times I have been knocked off my bike by cars, with many more near misses. Luckily the worst outcome was one day off work and a couple of weeks off the bike.

Perth has a car culture and urban sprawl similar in some ways to Los Angeles. Most people drive to work if they can.
The majority of cars on the road during peak hour have only the driver inside (ie single occupant). Traffic congestion on the major arteries is a problem.

Encouraging more people to ride bikes to work is one way to lessen traffic and parking problems. It also reduces environmental impact and as the article states - has health benefits. The state government here also encourages cycling and other car alternatives for commuting for these reasons.

My regular year-round cycle commuting has inspired a some of my colleagues to try it over driving and/or public transport (note this is not through any pro-active evangelizing on my behalf). A few of them have converted to semi-regular cycle commuters. Other colleagues who can't convert to cycle commuting due to distance, time or family constraints have been inspired to restart recreational cycling.

So while I am painfully aware of the risks of cycle commuting I also believe that leading by example is a powerful thing.

The more cyclists on the road, the more accustomed car drivers become to their presence which should lead to safer driving behaviors.

However, if no one is willing to take the risk of cycling on the road, how will it ever get wider adoption and acceptance?
