Yes, I think my discomfort comes mostly from that. And from realizing that I'm getting older, with too many responsibilities and less time each day in a path with no return. At this point I even doubt switching to a software dev job would be satisfying for me anymore.

China is Nr.1 world producer by far. Then comes the US, Europe, India, Australia with more or less the same output each. Sure you could try to compete with China by removing all environmental regulations but even the Chinese slowly understand that drinkable water might have its use also.

Your corn example isn't a good story also, because without subsidies the "Saudi Arabia" of wheat production wouldn't exist.

Things I Learnt by Reading Retrofit Source Code
Well, honestly, that doesn't seem all that unfair. If the department is busy - or is known to have emergencies that drain resources - a 2-4 week timeframe for looking at it seems reasonable.

The very way they move someone up to the front of the line is by pushing other things aside, and possibly having folks work overtime to finish those very things no time. It would be reasonable to charge for such a thing. It really isn't much different from paying an extra fee to get a package more quickly or paying an extra fee to skip lines at airports or theme parks.

Oh, come on: whatever Microsoft's faults might be they have a very long track record, stretching back decades, of providing overall high quality documentation for developers.

Yes, there are errors. Yes, sometimes there is deeply misguided advice. But, on the whole, MSDN and its ilk has helped me far more often than it's hurt me.

Key point: compared with much other vendor and OSS documentation, Microsoft are absolutely streets ahead.

The question is, how much of the pros that took people to do JavaScript/browser front-ends are available for WASM apps?

X-to-JavaScript compilers were available for decades now, still most write their stuff in JavaScript.

What WASM will change, I think, is that libraries or applications, that were native before, now get ported to the browser.

So JS devs will do what they always did, maybe a bit more every year.

And people who didn't write browser apps, will more and more move to do their thing with WASM.

Also, look into enterprises, it will take them an eternity to get new WASM-enabled browsers to their users and even then I could imagine their admins to disable it.
This is the really problematic assumption the EU made:

*'Comparison shopping services' are fundamentally different from general purpose search engines.

If we take the Comission's POV, yes Google entered a new market and used their dominant position in an existing market to unfairly compete, breaking anti trust law (though wether that's for the benefit of the consumer or not is a fair question as well).

But I don't think they are different markets. If when you search for a web page google shows you the best result, why shouldn't it search for the best/cheapest online retailer? It's searching for the most relevant 'thing' on both cases.

It's surprising how big programs are. Very basic android apps can weigh in at 30-60mb, and I've noticed cordova apps are particularly bad for that. Imagine needing to pull that much data every time you visited a new site.

>What do you mean by this? When I was growing up the whole family (of 4, plus dog eating leftovers) ate the same meal. Is that not the norm? Is it an American thing?

Yes most likely (American Thing).

I'll give you a rough anecdotal example I have seen:

A 13 year old that is a vegan, A father who is a pseudo body builder (eats lots of meat), a picky 8 year old that will not eat certain colors and of course a gluten, organic mommy.

And of course there is the toddler/infant age where god forbid you don't follow the pediatricians recommendations (despite that humans have survived this far and produce 8 billion people).

Oh and I haven't even got into timing considerations (ie some individuals eat earlier and others later).

Yep its probably an American thing :)
Maybe there would be less confusion if they changed the name to something not including systemd, and decoupled the development and distribution of these clearly unrelated projects.

Then this DNS resolver could get the distribution and usage it deserves based on its own merits.

Of course, that's not going to happen, because the creators want systemd to be an OS by itself, with every buggy unreliable component standing as a monument to them only, and that means strong-arming in projects that could never compete with the existing working solutions on merits.

I sort of know this area.... There two separate paths -- realtime or non-real-time.

For non-real-time there is: http://www.pbrt.org/

For real-time there is this: http://www.realtimerendering.com/

Neither book gets into the details of the specific API, they are theoretical.

Real-time techniques change nearly complete about every 10 years because GPUs get faster and render more techniques possible and obsolete the older less good looking techniques.
The AR bloodbath is coming
Ubuntu already had a resolver installed by default on desktops (dnsmasq). They decided to switch because:

we picked "resolved" as that is small and lightweight, already present (part of the systemd package), does not require D-Bus (unlike dnsmasq), supports DNSSEC, provides transparent fallback to contacting the real DNS servers directly (in case anything goes wrong with the local resolver), and avoids the first issue above that /etc/resolv.conf always shows 127.0.0.1.

> best kind of pedagogy is pedagogical content knowledge

This is definitely true, but more general pedagogic stuff is also extremely useful and shouldn't be poo-poo'd! I got much better at teaching after just observing a really great classroom teacher for a while and having another great teacher observe me and comment. A pedagogy crash course also greatly improved my assessment design.

It's like math or programming or anything, really. If you want to be good, watch the greats and -- if you can -- get the greats to watch you and comment.

Which optional systemd components became mandatory?
Basically, the issue here is comparable to Net Neutrality. Google Search is a utility.

It treats most sites the same, but provides an advantage for some that cooperate with it or are owned by it, just like Zero Rating happens in the ISP situation.

And, just like in the ISP situation, users (at least in the EU) can easily switch at basically zero cost (in fact, switching ISPs actually gives users a bonus usually, many ISPs give you actual cash for switching to them).

Now, the question is why Google should be able to change the ordering in the search. I think they shouldn’t.

What should be done is that Google replaces, or expands, the existing search result for Google Shopping, for example, with the rich content they used to show at top.

Same with all other of their content.

In a next step, they should allow competitors via an API to also provide embedded content. A user can then scroll through the search results, and below the amazon result is a horizontally scrolling list of results from Amazon, the Google Maps and the Here Maps results both have miniature maps, etc.

This allows rich content, easier finding of results, it ensures a fair market, and it ensures that users can easier find out where Google’s content is sourced from (very often the Google Knowledge Graph rich text snippets quote wikipedia without attribution)

This is, basically, just applying the principles of Net Neutrality to Google.
"Will" is a bit strong but it is a glaring, bright red case of classical broken windows fallacy.
I got the same at first, seems some script removes it though. I see the content flashing by, i saved the content using wget and got the original page.

That makes no sense. That would be like forcing Google to show Bing results inside Google searches. Product comparison is a search category—just like image based search. It's not a different vertical.
Sure but let me first say my beef is mainly with how it's taught in secondary schools (had no issues at tertiary level - CS major here). I should also note that this was my experience during the early 2000s and I really hope things have changed at least a little.

Our maths classes basically consisted of being handed really old textbooks and then being left to our own devices. The teachers when they did interact with us had no passion for the subject. I recall when someone asked why we were learning quadratic equations the teacher basically told the class he had no clue. I almost left high school with a deep loathing of the subject, and I say almost because I had one teacher in year 12 who was passionate about the subject and taught it well. I would later learn that his background was in a field related to mathematics (electrical engineering), not teaching which was my impression of all the others.

I guess my main point here is that the New Zealand government could be investing in it's education system by hiring people who have a real world background in the subject matter they're teaching. Having that knowledge and passion for a subject made all the difference - at least for me.

Forgive my ignorance, but can't it go the other way also?

A contrived example...

A person has $X that they spend every week at the local town restaurant. They see they can buy a cool new widget from a Chinese vendor (from the article) for $Y. Over the course of the next few weeks, said person spends a little less at the restaurant so as to save up $Y, ultimately purchasing the widget once enough money is saved.

In this example the person is contributing less to the local economy.

Many people run a DNS server to cache DNS responses locally. And they don’t want to expose the DNS server publicly. systemd-resolved does that, you can’t even expose it accidentally.

But many distros actually install a DNS server by default, usually unbound or BIND9, and while some bind it to localhost, many bind it to all interfaces.

As you said, that’s not necessary for most users, yet, major distros do it.

Another explanation: electricity is dangerous. So are machines.

If you can automate some portion of your desk job, you're a much more valuable employee.

The same is theoretically true for factory workers and mechanical/electrical engineers, but the barrier to creating your own factory automation is extremely high. And no one is going to let a random factory worker tweak/augment expensive machinery in a novel and untested way.

Whereas an Excel macro or quick Python script for parsing some data and doing some computations or sending some emails is very accessible and totally acceptable in many environments.

Yes. I've burned hours on systemd related problems that just didn't exist before. From DBus message delivery failures, debugging things that haven't broken for 20 years (which has incidentally got MUCH harder) to the whole shit crock that is NTP and locale management. That and the whole desktop buggery that has been going on for the best part of 8 years now has really put me off. To be honest you haven't really experienced systemd's fuckery until you have a hosed box. It's like negotiating a boot with a pigeon. Any other platform is ZERO hassle and that includes windows, OSX, freebsd, openbsd etc.

And you can't criticise it anywhere (watch the downvotes).

The problem is it lacks the mysterious as in Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance class "quality". Merely glitter around a turd.

However we're stuck with it so it's suck it up or move on.

On the subject of moving on, you could run FreeBSD to run your servers. Much lower resource overheads, native ZFS, simple service management, some documentation worth more than toilet paper and the best thing of all, more sleep at night. Now there are binary updates and packages it's pretty easy. No more make world of any of that stuff.

> tired of closing them

This comment misses the point entirely. The point isn't to mitigate having to type them, it's to help keep structural preservation. All of these structural editors also do so much more than just close the parens. They allow you to edit the code as the tree it is as well as navigate it as such. Without the parens actually being there, you couldn't do that in a determininistic way, thus the auto-closing of parens is more of a side effect than anything else.

Right. If the definition of "healthy" is "unlikely to be contaminated with food poisoning agents[0]," then meal prep services would seem as bad or worse than restaurant meals. They are "prepared at home" only for the last few steps, the food has been handled extensively by meal prep service employees, and has been shipped and possibly left at a delivery location for an unknown period of time in warm weather (I understand it is shipped in an insulated container, but the temperature control still must be less reliable than an actual refrigerator).

[0]Though I think GP and most others in this thread are defining "healthy" as matching their preferred fat/carb/salt/weight-control etc. parameters, and aren't even thinking about food poisoning.
