I can't agree with this, for example just because we "democratically" decide slavery is OK doesn't make it moral, or even acceptable. Yet people seem to act as if something democratically agreed-upon has moral force behind it. And to say we have to leave a country because we disagree with policy is ludicrous. It's identical to the right's call, "If you don't like it, you can get out!" which is utterly absurd.
Thank you, I know all of that. I like native though. So, both VM and HTML5+JS are things I try to avoid for convenience messaging tools I use many times every day.
It isn't, but it is Google's responsibility not to infringe on the copyright of other people/companies. Google is not displaying their own content in those snippets. They are taking content from other websites, reformatting it and putting it on their own website. By stealing that content and displaying it to the user, the user now no longer needs to visit the website from which the content originated. They are directly taking away potential customers/revenue from these companies. It seems pretty clear that that's not entirely kosher.
It'd be really nice if they followed python3, and named it ipython3. This is just going to confuse install processes if I now have to install "ipython<6".
There's a black market because most people can't just get a prescription from a doctor, they have to lie or get someone else's drugs, there isn't enough legal availability to rule it out.
> The market of people who want something rugged/durable/functional are already taken care of by the Thinkpads.

Are mostly unhappily taken care of by the Thinkpads. The brand has gone downhill since IBM sold to Lenovo, which has steadily eroded the level of quality that can be expected from a Thinkpad-branded laptop. Modern Thinkpads aren't nearly as serviceable or as durable as the Thinkpads of IBM's era.

People who stick with Thinkpads today tend to do so because a) the enterprise support is still relatively solid, b) no real competitors for the Trackpoint, if you want one you need to get a Thinkpad, c) the keyboard, while not as high quality as it used to be, is still great relative to most of the market, d) Thinkpads are still basically reference laptops for Linux, and as a customer, it's reasonable to assume that there will be good hardware support.

If System76 wanted to go after Thinkpads, they probably could.
Featured snippets are just that--they've taken a snippet from websites and are displaying them at the top of the search results for certain queries. Google doesn't say that the information is correct--they do ask for feedback (there's a link to submit feedback).

Featured Snippets are not damaging to businesses. In fact, I've seen businesses benefit greatly by getting a ton of more traffic by having them. They get more leads and sales, and more ecommerce conversions.

If you’re trying to rank for the answer to a question like “What is Larry David’s Net Worth?”, and the answer literally is a dollar figure or a “quick answer”, then I have no problem with Google “stealing” your traffic. In fact, if the answer is “$125 billion”, and Google can give searchers that answer without having to go to your website, then sobeit. What do you expect that visitor to do anyway when they get to your site? They’ll leave. They’ll hit the back button. They’ll bounce, because your site is focused too much on short, quick answers. How about creating some real content, content that will make visitors stick on your website and view more than one page?
> They're heroin addicts who would gladly choose that if it were legal.

It seems more of a preference. Lot of heroin users dislike the fetanyl high and remain heroin users.

> I'm glad you understand that potency is the issue, but you're advocating policy that causes potency to increase.

I disagree. The policy that made sense for mild opiods, namely legalizing and regulation. However, we are dealing with an extremely harmful chemical-a tiny grain size of salt of carfentinil will kill. There's just no way this can be used recreationally and responsibly.
Intersection of trading and data mining.

I've said this a few times but we're going through a growth period like AAA video games have over the past 20 years.

I used to be that 2 guys could make a video game, then it went to 10, then 50, now its around 200 from what I've last heard.

Hedge funds are going through a similar shift.

It used to be that one person could manage data cleaning, and algo generation for a fund.

Then cleaning got split out into its own job.

Then the number of data streams exploded growing by a couple orders of magnitude.

Then the data types diverged so that each new data stream needs its own special cleaning, and normalization and even data storage, ie some data isn't suitable for a sql or non sql database storage, like satellite images.

Nowadays a typical algo fund might make use of 100 different algos for trading, each of which has 20 different inputs, some real time, some updated irregularly.

It takes those signals and weights them to come up with a trading signal, which then gets mixed with a portfolio balancing signals and risk signals.

It can be tough to disentangle each individual signal from the algos themselves so even things like detecting if a signal still has alpha generating abilities is tough.

You can have 10 people just back testing signals and monitoring risk levels.

And the growth of data and data sources isn't slowing down.

This is good if you are one of the larger players, see Virtu buying out competitor KCG, who previously ate competitor Knight Capital, yes that fund with the huge blowup, but not so great news if you want to remain a small, person wise, fund.

Not sure how to run a quant fund anymore with only 4 people. Not sure anything an be done about.
> So moby now uses containerd

Correct. Moby uses containerd because Docker uses containerd.

> which I guess is not related to systemd

You guessed correctly.

> even though systemd also has its own container system

Correct I believe systemd uses a tool called nspawn to isolate processes in containers. We don't use systemd/nspawn, but I think it would be a cool customization to build a Moby assembly that uses systemd.

> Are there any components to moby that are OSS

All Moby components are open-source.

> and a part of the linux stack

All Moby components run great on Linux.

> or is this whole endeavor to break away from linux dependencies?

Moby works great with Linux and will continue to. In fact you can build a complete custom Linux system with Moby, thanks to LinuxKit. (But you can also target an existing Linux system, LinuxKit is optional).
It's code for "agreement that everybody thought existed, despite not being written."

I don't think this one social contract actually existed.
I agree that debuggers aren't always the right tool. Use it only when you have a reproducible bug configuration running on your desktop.

There are fancier setups than "print statements", like binary lock-free logs to circular memory maps. But in essence, print statements, yes.

And heh, I just realized that if you're using a debugger with reversible execution tracing, you're using EXACTLY a binary log file.
People who get on the road go through govt regulated test to certify them to be capable of using the road and know what are the rules they are supposed to follow.

I've seen people who have never driving a vehicle buy a bike from walmart and ride next to 18 wheelers on the road.

That to me is insanity , why are people supporting this?
You really should read the analyses people are posting about that. I don't know of any credible people saying it's flat-out always illegal to remove someone after allowing them onboard, but I do know of credible people saying the legally and contractually permitted reasons for it are few in number and the reason given in this situation (to make room for deadheading crew) is not one of those permitted reasons.
I agree in terms of the organic results that come back.

However, I don't see the logic in picking one of them and highlighting it. It has the appearance of an endorsement.

I would also argue that the ads are deceptive for this query. Surely there's some AdWords policy about that?
> Today, we can’t design and manufacture our products. We outsource this work. It’s similar to how Tesla used a Lotus chassis for their first car. (Like their Roadster, the outside of our computers might look similar to others but it’s the inside that counts.) The strategy was cash efficient and allowed us to focus on developing high value areas of the company. However, knowing what we wanted to build but without the means to do so left us constantly yearning for more.

...

> Phase three moves product design and manufacturing in house. We’re about to build the Model S of computers. Something so brilliant and beautiful that reviewers will have to add an 11 to their scores. Being that we’re System76 and we do things the System76 way, our design principles are polar opposite of the rest of the industry.

Is this serious? The Tesla Model S was a serious gamechangers for the viability of electric cars. Dell and Lenovo have made "OEM computers with Linux support" a solved problem space. These guys think they're going to leap from selling rebadged Taiwanese MacBook clones to coming up with original PC designs so great that they beat what Apple and its mountains of cash can put out? Are they serious?
Where is this feature? I haven't noticed it.
> In the US you hear "offered $800 compensation". It's not cash. It's a voucher for use only on that airline, only within 12 months, and only on select full-fare ticket classes. So an $800 ticket may only get you another round flight from Chicago to Louisville (around 500km/300mi).

This is wrong. By Department of Transportation rules, the airlines is required to pay up to 400% (max of $1,300) for an involuntary rebooking that results in a two-hour delay or more. Airlines might try to get you to accept less by offering voluntary rebooking for less, but if they bump you involuntarily, that's what they're required to pay, and it's not sufficient to offer only a voucher with restrictions.

European airlines pull the same sorts of tricks to try to reduce the amount that they pay out, or to get travelers to accept vouchers instead. It's not limited to the US.
I watched the movie many times before I touched the books and sure, there is a lot left unexplained, but I really loved the "tip of the iceberg" effect that created. Paul is permanently overwhelmed by knowing more than he can make sense of and Lynch does an excellent job of putting the viewer in harmony with that state of mind.

This unexplainedness by the way also keeps the mind engaged without dropping into the game of trying to mentally map out every little detail as a plot explanation mechanism. This mode of watching besets me when I see a movie that caters to the "everything has to be explained" crowd, but it should be exclusive to the murder mystery genre. Attempts to transplant that into other types of movies tend to either be painfully obvious or pointlessly complicated, to avoid the former. And somehow, they often manage to be both at once. I want immersion, not a CGI-clad sudoku.
> Why didn't they just keep docker docker

They'd lose 40k+ GitHub stars, I guess.
Java, especially with the astounding improvements in JDK 1.8, and the new JEE specifications like CDI, and some of the incredible things coming out in JDK 1.9.

Great language that has stood the test of time and runs on Windows, Linux, OSX, and sometimes Android and IOS.

Not so much limitation, as much as optimized for a different problem. Wheels are great for going fast on relatively level terrain, not for traversing any terrain it encounters.

Lidar is great for distance representations, but requires a highly consistent and exact timing source. Dual optical inputs allow us to approximate the same data through other methods that don't require nearly as exact timing.
Don't forget Prisoners, which deserves a mention all its own.

Right, I was just assuming that the reason to build alternatives to these existing linux utilities would be to target other host OS like Windows or Mac. Thanks for the explanation.

I'm wondering if you're including the Astrid feature I still miss and have never found a replacement for: assigning locations to tags, so that you can do things like have an alert come up with "stuff I gotta do at home" when you get home.

If you have this and an iOS version, then you have my money.
I can say why I chose it and why I no longer choose it anymore. For me, JavaScript was the price I had to pay for a number of other benefits. I don't like the language, but TypeScript, Coffeescript and the like can paper over some of the deficiencies well enough. But what Node is is more than just JavaScript.

It's a fast, well-designed runtime written in C++ with the event loop as a central construct. It's an ecosystem where async is the default and you don't have to work hard to get performance and scalability in that area. And it has a fantastic package management tool. The quality of the packages that npm installs may not always be high, but the tool itself is so much better than pip, maven/gradle, gem, cpan, etc.

I've moved on from Node because I've found nearly all the benefits of Node available in Rust. Rust has the performance of Node's C++ runtime, easy event loop with tokio, and cargo is the one package manager that I think betters npm. And with wasm, we're even starting to see the possibility of sharing code between the server-side and client-side. Add to that the ability to use it anywhere that Node can be used (I'm using Rust now with Lambda without a single line of JavaScript), and there's now no reason for me to put up with the hassles that using such a poorly-designed language as JavaScript imposes.
Do you have some examples of studies that don't control for previous behavior?

Asking about it just seems like such a basic component of the data gathering.
I've read the article. Obviously I haven't seen the actual problem, but as an experienced developer, I feel that:

NaN bug doesn't sound like it needed logging
Mutability bug doesn't sound like it needed logging
Dependencies and versions bug doesn't sound like it needed logging
The Documentation and versions bug doesn't sound like it needed logging

Obviously we're not seeing the whole picture or the whole bug. But that's 4/5. Most of those sound like they needed a simple step-through.

For example, in the documentation and versions async.js bug, he added "extremely verbose" logging where it appears that a simple step-through would have immediately revealed to him the passed arguments were wrong and the signature of the method didn't match the documentation. Which would have made him realize he had the wrong version.

The only one where I would expect to have to use logging is the tests bug.

Reiterating the point a few others have made, there are places in the US where you have subsidized, frequently used ferries (Seattle area, for instance). The ferries exist where the people exist.

But the American hostility to taxes is rooted in a pretty strong failure to see their useful results. If someone is in California, paying nearly Europe-level taxes, but don't have nearly Europe-level public healthcare, roads, and transit, something's wrong.
Reading the below with that context is amusing.

When I hear people describe how France is, they almost always talk about Paris. Same thing with Sweden and Stockholm.

Unsurprisingly, the capital city of a country during a vacation is nicer than your boring home town during a regular work week.
After decades Lynch's Dune is still my favorite movie of all times. I was very young when I watched it and I didn't have much of a reference for what movies were even supposed to feel like at the time, so Dune seemed like a perfectly normal place to start. Suspect the experience is quite different if you already have decades to movie going by the time you see it.

Besides Star Wars and Blade Runner I can't think of another SF movie that has as much impact on me.
> other than CS

This is simply not true as well. CS majors also can begin serious work with just a BS degree. I have no idea what school(s) the parent topic is refering to but remind me not to recommend people go there...

Four years is a LOT of time to get deep on multiple CS topics not just a broad overview. If you finish 4 years of serious study and don't have deep knowledge of a few things you did college wrong.

College is the only time in your adult life where your only job is to learn. It is incredible that many of us get that opportunity and that some people come out of it with just broad knowledge is disappointing.

In my CS program, senior and most of junior year were almost entirely specialized courses where we had a choice to pick a topic that interests us and deep dive. (AI, graphics, networking, bioinformatics, big data, programming language theory, etc). All the general studies were mostly done by the end of sophomore year.
My bicycle commutes ends with a half-mile long ascending steep slope. It can be impossible not to arrive sweaty when you live in a hilly place, no matter how fast you go.
While I have not been lucky enough to grow up "on the cycle", just a few years of commuting by bike all year around, I very much feel the same!

On the shittiest day at work, or the most stressful situation at home, there's been nothing better than getting on the bike and just taking a ride wherever I have to be or going for a spin without strong purpose. It allows me to clear my mind, forget about everything else, even if just for a half an hour.

Feeling the spring breeze or even the frosty winter air's bite on my face while pedaling down the street often puts a big smile on my face even at times where otherwise I'd surely not be smiling.

OCaml or Haskell. They will teach you concepts you can take back into PHP or Node.js to make your code better. And in my frank, unbiased opinion: sound type systems and pure functional programming is the future of the industry.

If you're a pragmatist it's still a good choice. You can bring FP concepts to C, Java, whatever later on too.
This is a smart way to manage vim: terminal vim and a small number of the essential plugins. Clone ~/.vimrc and ~/.tmux.conf via GitHub. I haven't had any headaches doing it this way.
The Moby project as outlined sounds great.

This redirect will probably prove disruptive, confusing, and frustrating to a lot of people. I assume it's too late now, but you might consider asking github if you can revert to allow github.com/docker/docker to remain as it was for a time, and allow moby/moby to gradually pull in the actual code.

Perhaps there are technical reasons this would be infeasible. The github landing page serves as valuable marketing, branding, and social-proof (stars, etc) even if most folks don't end up looking at the code there.

The other angle is that Americans hate government more than Swedes, because US government really is much worse than the Swedish version.
This is a great article that causes me to challenge some of my own assumptions. I have also been generally supportive of decriminilization of drugs because of the damage done with our prohibition. But the problems with opiods show me that if heroin was easily available it really could lead to too much use. So I think the problem that first needs to be addressed is that drug legalization needs to go through a non-legisltive process. If we have true techocrats (doctors & scientists) deciding what drug policies were, it would be much harder for drug companies like beer producers to force laws that they like. But we do live in that world of lobbying, so what's the thing to do to help control opiod use with more drug decriminalization? I do not know.

The "environment" is created by people. If you plop 10 Bangladeshis into New Jersey, they will conform to the environment. If you plop 10,000 Bangladeshis into New Jersey, you will have imported the environment from Bangladesh to New Jersey.
As the GP said, especially if you know the topic well, Economist fails to impress you with the sometimes "shaky" facts they embed to make a point. What I don't like at Economist the most is the divine-like inner voice they are using to report on a totally controversial area in a totally foreign topic and choose a side as if it's very easy to choose sides. For example, you're a banker reader in London, and they give you bundled, consumption-ready opinion about why Mr X in LaLaLand is a better match for governing the fiscal politics and not Ms Y.

It's as if they are ruling the world rather than doing journalism.
All of your arguments are based on the assumption that an over-capacity situation which is only discovered after boarding is common and easy to manufacture.

Also, remember that the compensation for voluntarily yielding one's seat can be "paid" in non-transferable flight vouchers. Airlines don't issue cash for that, and airline employees already have free-travel privileges. To get the right to cash compensation you need to be involuntarily denied boarding, and IDB "pecking order" is not under the control of the agent at the gate.
