So, there are 3 parts to such a system.

The first, is a 'searcher'. Here, that is sonarr (for finding TV series) and radarr (for finding movies). There are some alternatives. Most notably couchpotato for movies. You simply tell these programs what you want to see, and they look through torrents and newsgroups to find that content.

Next, you need a downloader (or 2 if you use both torrents and newsgroups). For this, it is important that your 'searchers' can talk to the downloader, so things happen automatically. Basically anything should work here.

Finally, and optionally, there is a viewer. Plex is the biggest here. It allows you to view your media anywhere with an internet connection, it also tracks your library, and what you've watched. You can set up your searchers to export all downloaded files to plex.

For starters, I'd set up a simple searcher-downloader system, and build up from there.
They're betting on a future weakness being discovered. Sure, it costs them some storage space to sit on these databases in the short run, but if they do get cracked, they hit the absolute motherlode.

In hindsight I have to admit that Ctrl-Alt-Delete of Windows is a good idea. I propose a variant of this:

Introduce some scary red extra button with a key or locker symbol on it which can't be intercepted by applications or by root applications. When the OS needs authorisation, the user is prompted to hit that button, then a truly modal authentication prompt appears which is only dismissed by a second hit of that button or turning off the system.

This system could use different ways of authentication than by passwords.

Additionally users should be trained in only using this way of authentication and no others. The OS offers a secure API to invoke authentication, so that browsers also can use this for web apps. The prompt will look different and display additional information like «Application X wants to do Z», etc.

Edit: some more thoughts and clarification.
How old are you? I used to be like you (learning/reading/doing sideprojects) but with time I've steered towards just living - i.e. hanging out with friends or wasting time on HN like today ;) I think women on average reach that phase much faster, because, as opposed to us men, their attractiveness to the opposite sex does not largely depend on how accomplished they are.
They have all your saved passwords from your web browser, too, and your mac user account's password. I'd guess there's a reasonable amount of people who re-use at least one of those as their 1password master password.
Isn't there usually a clause at the end stating that even if some parts are unenforceable, the rest of the contract still holds?
Laptop, and extreme CPU. HP and Dell block TPL/TRL adjustment even for XM processors, and HP took it even further with their 1333 MHz limit on RAM. I have 1600 MHz sticks that can run fine at 1866 and probably more (tried with Thaiphoon Burner), so that's really annoying. I don't want an Alienware to get that.

And BCLK allows for a 5MHz overclock, which is not much, anything more and the system crashes. Which is really strange, may have something to do with PCIE as Dogma said.

I just want to get everything out of my extreme processor and RAM.
>If I buy a toaster it comes with a one year warranty, maybe. A nice car might come with a five year or two hundred thousand mile limited warranty.

The analogy falls down when you consider it's possible to fix your own toaster or car, or take it to some other engineer to do it. Cars last longer than 13 years due to servicing at garages and things like that.

I agree that the implementation at the NHS is clearly awful, but it's crazy that staying on top of security means you're essentially forced to pay Microsoft more for a newer version of Windows (as well as retraining due to changes, retesting all your software). It's a mess of a situation and I don't know the solution, but continuing your analogy Microsoft should share the Windows source when they no longer support it so that third-parties can. I know that's never going to happen btw, just that's what's reasonable by your analogy.
A court won't force people to comply with the terms of a license. If they don't comply, they just don't have a license and can be liable for copyright infringement. A court can then enjoin them from continuing to distribute the product, which may be incentive for them to reach an agreement on a commercial license or it might induce them to modify the product to not use the infringed code. And a court can force them to pay damages, which will be the cost of what a commercial license would have been. However a court won't force them to release their code under the terms of the GPL. Even if the GPL were a contract, which it's not, courts just don't order specific performance for breach of contract.

As you mention, though, some potential defendants will determine it's just cheaper to just disclose the modified code and walk away.
In the example you gave, you could make an argument like that but it'd still only feel any way fair iff:

* It started from the start of the contract/end of the initial training.
* It was for a period much shorter than 2 years
* It was voided if the employer terminated the contract

There seems to be an expectation prevalent that we will each meet our partner via a serendipitous encounter with our soul mate, and the fact that it's inevitable that a relationship waxes and wanes over time is often little commented on. I would say firstly perhaps you need to adjust your expectations which might help you refrain from terminating a relationship that could over time develop into something lasting, and secondly why not look abroad? Ignore the stigma. I suspect this originates from women that feel threatened by beautiful foreign women, and men that are envious.

> When you buy a car do you expect it to run and last forever? Software does, so you can see immediately that it's not a good analogy.

1. Software currently has a lot shorter life expectancy than physical items, due to how fast ecosystem changes (bitrot). SaaS model shortens that even further.

2. In fact, as a consumer, I'd expect a car to last a lifetime, if properly maintained. That I can't is a testament to throwaway economy we've created.
While I'd love to see this happen, I'm not convinced there is enough of a critical mass that actually care about the benefits of decentralised apps. Developing peer-to-peer software is considerably different to traditional software in it's communication (routing, sign-on), storage etc
If the distribution of skill is independent of sex (your assumption, if I understand correctly), why do you think the allocation is inefficient?

If less women and more men were primary caregivers, then the outcome would be exactly the same as it is now, because skill is independent of sex.

Not worth the effort, as end-user systems offer more gain (and the same corporations you mention also need those end-user systems for their employees to do their work).
You can update Windows installations as well. People run Windows XP either because they like its interface or they don't want to risk upgrading. Linux doesn't help with either case. If I liked Debian 3.0, I don't have an easy option to run it with all modern security updates now.

The only thing that Linux has is free as beer. Many people don't want to spend money on buying new Windows and Windows XP works for them just fine. Linux could certainly help here.

Maybe the old notion of business (for material artefact) is obsolete. As an open source friendly computer guy the notion of warranty is moot.

Outdoor fires (which include wildfires) result in ~50 deaths annually in the U.S.[0] You want to ban trees for that?

Okay, then an alternative suggestion.

If a company wants to stop supporting software, they have to publish the entire source, documentation, and guides for how to work in it.

Why couldn't Dan just create a new user account for Lissa? It would allow her to use his computer without giving her access to his books.

Deeper Response:

I'm not really convinced by Richard Stallman's argument here. When a movie studio sells Blu-ray discs, the studio can place restrictions on how you use that disc: the studio will charge you much more to play the movie in a cinema than at home. This is a good thing because it allows the studio to receive an income much closer to the total value that people receive from watching the movie. If the the studio was unable to place restrictions on how people watch the movie, maybe the movie would not get made in the first place and everyone loses.

Books are in the same category. If the writer can sell you the right to read a book but not to share it with other people then the writer will receive a larger income in total. Without that larger income the book may not get written at all.

I don't think reinforcement learning is equivalent over optimizing joint loss.

I mean, their model executes X steps and then they calculate the loss using supervised data, use that loss to learn.

The same is being done with machine translation models when they optimize over BLEU. It's still supervised learning because to calculate the loss you need reference data.
Another reason people don't upgrade is because new versions obsolete old hardware. Windows XP can run fine on machines Windows 8 wouldn't even boot on, and even for me, throwing away a perfectly good piece of hardware just to upgrade to a newer OS is kind of shitty idea.
I think you are getting it very wrong.

What guarantee used to mean is that if product has manufacturing defects then these will appear within limited period of time.

Having a 5 year guarantee for a car does not mean that it will fall apart after this period of time. It means that defects that occur after this period of time are due to wear and not manufacturing defects.

The main difference between a software product and say a car is that it appears that manufacturing defects of the software would take much longer to appear than 2 or 5 years. Sometimes it may take even 10-20 years for a defect to appear.

The main issue with Microsoft software is that the problem, when it becomes apparent, can not be fixed by the owner as it could be with any other product. This is caused by the closed nature of the Microsoft software.

Another thing you get wrong is that you call XP a $80 product. It is not. It is a $80 x number of owners product.
So that the loss aversion element of that investment makes them work like slaves

Not a surprise to anyone who has been paying attention.

1. The great Thomas Sowell addressed this directly in the long long ago (1980s?). His challenger reported a discrepancy in remuneration for women over 40. He correctly identified an additional dimension: never married. 40+ never married women experienced no income discrepancy.

2. The recent resurgence of this issue has been debunked, most notably to my knowledge by feminist economist Christina Hoff Sommers. Again, it's as simple as child rearing.

Suitably terse explanations from ReasonTV and PragerU may be easily found on YouTube.
I was recently trying to understand wireless channel estimation. So supposedly at the reciever we have to pass the signal through, an inverse channel filter to recover the transmitted signal. A friend of mine asked: what if the channel has no inverse? I had no idea how to respond to this because of my poor intuitive understanding of linear algebra.

3blue1brown's video series explained this beautifully as, when the inverse doesn't exist, the transformation packs the input into a lower dimensional space. So in communication terms the transmitted signal is completely lost anyway. So we should look for a better channel to communicate.

Now needless to say there is a lot I am probably wrong about, but I'm still very grateful for that excellent video series.
They wouldn't need to share the source with everyone, just with authorized software repair companies. It would be a win-win, microsoft can cut back on support duration, they can collect a rent from the repair companies, there would be a new business sector, and customers could stay on older windows versions until a time of their choosing. Like with cars the older the version you are on the more expensive the upkeep, so it would be cheaper to move to a new windows version regularly, meaning microsoft wouldn't lose much in the way of windows license revenue.
Show HN: BOOLR, a digital logic simulator
I am a Dutch high school student and last year I had to do a large project of my own choice. Together with two other guys I decided to do a project about digital logic. We had an ambitious plan: building an 8-bits computer.

At that time I started learning programming and I already knew some HTML and CSS. So we decided to not build a physical computer, but one running in a self-built simulator. I was going to build the simulator, the other guys took care of the computer.
I was hard, our school hadn't taught us anything about computers and programming so we had to learn everything ourselves. Our mentor told us our project was impossible to do, but we didn't listen and we worked hard.

After a year we did it, I have built the simulator, called BOOLR, and the other guys have built the 8-bits computer, called Tineke. Our mentor was really impressed, we got a 10/10 grade.

I've created BOOLR with JavaScript and Electron, the UI with HTML & CSS.

The way of measuring happiness is nonsense

basically asking people, "are you happy?"

There is a gigantic cultural bias. In many cultures people say that they are happy because they are expected to say that they are happy. Itd just a facade. In some others people just dont like to talk about self happiness or they have negative connotations when they talk about it.

I have lived in 5 countries from that list and I find it really hard to say that people from those countries are happier than other countries I've lived in and are not listed.....

> You absolutely should have knowledge of your target platform and whether it does TCO

If I write web apps, as far as I'm concerned, my platform is V8, Whatevermonkey, Trident and every other hypothetical​ javascript engine out there, any of which might or might not support TCO under different circumstances.

> When in doubt, don't use recursion and don't expect that you get TCO.

I think relying on TCO is always a bad idea, exactly because you can't be sure your platform supports it. But STC doesn't change that. You can't expect the platform to support tail calls because you did some magic incantations.

On the other hand, it doesn't make sense to me to forbid tail calls either. If you know your recursive code will work without TCO, it will work with TCO, too.
