I would really like to see ZFS make it into the regular install image. Debian already releases an install image with non-free firmware and ZFS is free software. It just has an incompatible license.

The specific issue you mention about creating the initramfs file is actually not necessary in Stretch since this file already exists. There have been other, more significant changes in Stretch as well. (Note: I've contributed to the Debian Jessie ZFS on Root Howto and have followed this guide for numerous systems on both Jessie and Stretch).

1) ZFS has made it into Debian Stretch, so it is no longer necessary to add the backports repository. You just need contrib.

2) The grub-pc package in Stretch provides ZFS support. In contrast, Jessie required installing the package from Testing, and this could cause issues with prior versions of the Howto, as it would often pull Grub's dependencies from Testing as well, blocking installation of among other things, Gnome. The Howto now ensures that dependencies are satisfied from Stable.

3) Since ZFS and grub-pc can be installed from Stable, there's no need to add the /etc/apt/preferences file for pinning priority.

I honestly am always annoyed by the focus on affordable housing. If you build enough high end apartments the prices for that will eventually reduce prices at the upper end enough that people who'd usually live in mid tier housing might be able to afford it and thus the prices on the mid and lower end start coming down as well. What I think needs to change that we build low buildings while in a severe housing crises. I'd like to see a height restriction that has a minimum number of stories rather than a max. When I lived in SF they were building 4 story buildings in Mission Bay. That's crazy. We need housing! Let's build 40 stories or even better 80!
I agree, that's part of the import here.

Something I've never understood is how the nucleotides arrive to be included in the DNA strand. These animations always just show them appearing in perfect sequential order when they're needed, which is of course not what happens.

How are they delivered to the polymerase in the first place? How do they "know" where to be?

Are there just so many of them in the cytosol that through sheer numbers, there's enough random chance they'll just shuttle into place when the polymerase needs them?

Compared to a complete Linux kernel, the Go runtime is pretty tiny.

Buy to your point there is no magic answer. The question is rather: when is the capabilities of a full OS kernel like Linux worth the resources needed to run it? And the answer is ultimately: it depends.
Yea, I get a similar feeling...

In general there seems to be quite diverse opinions out there about "security", and a lot of the space seems occupied by "extreme pragmatics" (or even "anti-intellectuals"). E.g. lots of people feel it's warranted to peddle (simple) falsehoods instead of trying to understand (complex) problems. I can understand it may be the right approach from a day-to-day IT management perspective, but I'm not so sure it's the most viable path towards better security long-term.
> I could take other dollars and convert them to CAD at today's spot. I could wait six months and convert then. Either way I'm taking on currency risk.

I see how the second case (waiting six months to convert USD to CAD) involves currency risk. But I don't understand how the first case involves currency risk. If I converted some USD into 1.3MM CAD today, and then held it for six months before paying my vendor, what currency risk did I incur that is eliminated by the futures contract?
I promised a few people that I would do a fresh ZFS port to FUSE that could be merged into ZoL HEAD. While life has delayed that, I hope to make it a reality this year. It was intended to be a development aid, but I know that there are some internal politics in a few distributions about shipping out of tree kernel modules on install media. I am told that a FUSE port will alleviate the internal politics. I imagine Debian et al integration would improve once that is a reality. Conceptually, it should allow for users to make an easy switch to the kernel modules once the system is installed. Keep your eyes open for that later this year.

> It might have been the reason, for sure; but it is extremely unlikely that this is what he was told, thus I infer speculation on his side.

Nobody's suggesting HR sent him a letter - presumably he formed his conclusion based on what was said in the interviews. It may be that he did so unreasonably, as a defense mechanism, and it may be that whatever was said left little doubt why he wouldn't be getting an offer. All we know is that he felt there was enough information to form a conclusion, and the principle of charity compels us to assume that such may be the case.

Honestly, I'm not trying to pick an argument or anything here. I just think your confidence judging this guy's character and hirability and so on is way out of whack considering that it's based on a three year-old recollection of a tweet.

I have 2 and they could not be more different. One is calm, lover type. Other is spastic and a hunter type. It is funny to watch the calm one when the spastic one wants to play. Love them both. They are part of the family. The set before this I had for 20+ years. When they realized my wife was pregnant they became very protective of her, getting between her and any stranger. The younger one would sleep at the base of the crib after my daughter was born. If my daughter cried she would come and get us. It was quite hard on her when we did the, "okay you need to go to sleep and crying does not help bit." I miss them to this day.
This all sounded incredibly like a very San Francisco first world problem, until I thought of one use case for which you could be incredibly useful - old grandparents who don't speak the language traveling internationally on their own. I know mine are always afraid to travel because there is no one to help them on connecting flight to go cross customs on arrival. $300 to help them move doesn't sound all too bad, when combined tickets are already over a grand.

Though typing is hard(not as used to be with new suggestive keyboards), it is much faster way to access information if the applications have many things and hard to figure out what to click. Since the interface is conversational it's like you are chatting with your friend and asking for things you need.
hehe thanks for the tip, but I don't trust my own psyche enough for those kinds of experiments, even though I'm deeply curious of what I'd experience.
Seems like a lot of companies are trying to go “mobile first” while their apps are still missing core features found on their websites…so I just continue to use the websites, even if they are slower.

I don’t think I’m being unreasonable in wanting simple things to work. Things like preserving newlines in code blocks in the Reddit app—since 95% of my subs are technical—or showing what comment of mine someone is replying to in the Imgur app—since it might be anything I’ve commented on in the past few days, or years if someone was browsing in Random mode.

32 bytes => 64 hex digits, which is probably not a coincidence. :-)
These are the first Intel HEDT chips to not have a soldered heat-spreader. Instead they are using thermal paste between the chip and the heat-spreader. This is generally accepted to be bad practice since they use cheap paste and it's dependent on how the paste was spread on each chip. I also believe that Intel has basically said water cooling is a must for these chips.
The Decision: Apache Kafka or Amazon Kinesis?
I've had a number of heated discussions over the years about whether some new site/app I'm working on needs these social sharing buttons slathered everywhere. They're absolutely a scourge.

How Sales Teams Close More Deals with Video Conferencing
Okay. There are already lots of discussions on politics, so I will contribute something different.

I have spent considerable amount of time in China and Singapore (former British colony). I've also travelled to HK. When I read this kind of articles, I can see how people make decisions that they think are perfectly fine only to find out later that someone else thinks drastically different.

Why do the Chinese leaders and UK leaders think so differently? Why do Chinese leaders prioritize sovereignty over prosperity? Is it because of politics? I think not. It's more to do with culture and history.

China has had a long history of being caught in endless cycles of being divided and united. So much that it became the opening sentence of popular novel "Three Kingdoms" long before optimum war.

If there's one thing that Chinese people really hate, is to see their homeland being taken away and families separated. I don't think cultures where people did not have this kind of experience can have this feeling.

Contrary to popular belief, Chinese (Han) people are never interested in conquering foreign lands. They just want to take back what used to belong.

I've never mentioned a utopian ideal. I addressed the false implication that UBI was somehow opposed to the availability of work.

Poverty can be mitigated, but not ended.

> is UBI plus slave wages for the 99 percent.

No, "slave wages" makes even metaphorical sense only in the sense that unmitigated capitalism provides economic coercion to work; a system with UBI doesn't share that features of unmitigated capitalism.

Further, while replacing the minimum wage with UBI reduces the minimum value of jobs that can be offered, it reduces the pressure to accept low wage jobs, so low wages jobs are likely to accepted for experience or other reasons, but not economic coercion,

> Are there just so many of them in the cytosol that through sheer numbers, there's enough random chance they'll just shuttle into place when the polymerase needs them?

Yes. Everything at that scale is very small, very close together and moving very, very fast.

This kind of thing is very common at the cellular level: have a receptor/channel/process/thing that only one precise 3d molecule can fit into - and then just wait.

As long as there's a process somewhere to make/acquire that molecule, then one will be along in a few nanoseconds or so, depending on the concentration. In the meantime the recipient will just wait.

In this way otherwise independent processes can regulate each other, and respond in a concentration dependant way to changing conditions without any central control.
It has been a little while since I have read an article that I disagree with as much as I disagree with this article.

He says that sugar is not toxic just don't eat too much. Well, processed food generally has a lot of sugar so he would appear to be saying not to eat much processed food. Then he defends eating some processed food.

Everyone needs to carefully figure out what diet makes them feel healthy. For me, that diet is Dr. Furman's Eat to Live diet. After being on it for a long time, I feel great. It was a rough few weeks getting used to it. I go off the diet when we eat out with friends, but I find that I enjoy the mostly fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, and fatty fish diet. That food now tastes better to me and is more satisfying.
I'll grant you that there's not a lot of documentation for the internals, but I don't think the internal code is that hard to understand. To start with, unlike some languages I've worked with, a large amount of OTP is built in erlang, not C. Another key thing Erlang does is avoid complexity when it can. For example, the GC algorithm is just about the simplest GC you can get (caveat it is generational); because of the language constraints, a very simple GC is effective.

You certainly need to spend some time figuring out all the data types and how to access them in C, but if you're willing to spend some time, and you're capable of mucking about inside a VM; I don't see how it's that hard to understand. It feels to me to be on about the same level as the FreeBSD kernel; after chasing down surprising behavior enough times, I've got a pretty good feel for how to read the code, and whereabouts to start looking for code I'd like to read; but making changes can be a stretch, depending on where it needs to happen. OTOH, I only have to dive into the depths when my team manages to break beam or the kernel, which isn't everyday... If more things broke, I'd have more skill here. ;)

Slack is great when used as modern irc. But many teams try to replace email, issue tracker, ci, deploy all into slack and it becomes too much. People in our company made all these integrations to paste back emojis into GitHub comments, to create a new ci run and all sorts of things. Honestly, It was all very irritating to be in love with a tool this way. Sort of like forcing emacs to do everything (peace be upon emacs).

Thankfully it all came to a head when the buggy deploy bot made a broken deploy and we started using it just for plain chat and moved to free plan because we didn't want history on purpose.

If you are using Gmail, you can share access to your inbox with another account. This would still let your cofounder access your inbox and read your mail, assuming that's what you are solving for.

> But there is still a weird doughnut hole were it is perfectly acceptable to make fun of people with 70 < IQ < 90

I agree that what we call "bad work ethic" is just something that happens to people in that IQ range.

Now the problem is, what are we supposed to do with these people?

If I were to start a small business, I would probably like to avoid having such people work for me.

The only entities that can afford to hire these people are large corporations like Walmart and McDonalds, but because they are large and powerful, they also get to abuse these people.

> truth will erode this false fabricated narrative.

ooh boy, that's a deep rabbit hole. I'm an atheist now, but I was raised in a deeply religious household (fundamentalist christian, family and entire social circle took the bible very seriously).

My experience is that everyone thinks they have the "truth", even though each sect's truth is mutually exclusive from all others (even though they all read from the same book). In addition I found that Jesus' teachings (mostly harmless, mostly obvious) didn't do much to "erode this false fabricated narrative", but rather layered over an additional set of narratives.

I never experienced any deeper insights than this despite a couple of decades worth of heavy indoctrination attempts.

I'm sure you mean well though, so I appreciate your comment.
They meet my needs, honestly.
Likewise, I wish you would have found something more deserving instead of criticizing a solid piece of journalism. Look at the design of the article, the integration of video and text, the restrained use of ads... Even if you don't appreciate the content, stylistically, the are some very nice things about this article.
I recall a story about how when MAPS was going through the initial process of starting trials, they were permitted to introduce evidence of the safety from times when it was illegal, which also provided a bit of long term results. More recently when asked about the safety, MAPS states that the dosages and frequency being used are below what is known to cause problems. Now they are entering phase 3, which will be large scale.

For the record: I have not walked back any criticism. I saw a brigade forming, and the last thing I want to be is the kind of person who, wittingly or unwittingly, creates a social media brigade. My own blog has been brigaded countless times, and I know how it feels. So do allow me to walk a nuanced line, if you will -- we're all better off if we can diffuse tension instead of getting entrenched in all out assault mode.
This is the right way to think about it. The talks are probably recorded anyway. Really, you want to get some people to go out, see how others are doing things and solving problems, and bringing back the parts that are relevant to your current problems ("Oh, this guy solved problem X, which is really similar to what Ted was stuck on when we left!")
Totally agree. I now sigh when I see another article on Medium. It's just so damn frustrating - I come to read the article, I don't want be encouraged to share it before I have even have had the opportunity to read the first paragraph.

There's a fair amount of implicit allocation in Go. When you reference a slice, you create a slice descriptor, which takes up space. Maps, channels, and goroutines all allocate. It's not impossible to avoid allocation in a block of code, but it's not just avoiding explicit allocation.

How do interrupts work in this system? Do they map to goroutines, or what?
