Oracle Solaris is on life support because they don't have any of the old engineers. They have not worked on ZFS or DTrace since then (and the illumos community has massively improved those projects in the meantime). Recent news makes it look like Oracle Solaris may be killed quite soon.

That was the result, they tried to mistreat the OpenSolaris community and then Oracle no longer was competitive in the Solaris space.

The internet promised to make every man a publisher, and it has succeeded. The problem is that most professional publishers shouldn't be publishers, much less the average person. There's simply too much money to be made with eyeballs. A press with no overhead is a race to the bottom with a cast of billions, many of whom would fight to the death over pennies.

I tell my friends to monitor and severely cut their intake of news. Ingesting news today is a profoundly emotionally unhealthy thing to do, and to the degree people ingest it, they are usually over-the-top in their fear of various things, the vast majority of which are no threat to much of anybody.

We've always had this situation with small publications. As a former freelance journalist, what I've seen over the past several years is that the big publications, after being brought over to Facebook and Twitter for better access to readers, are being forced to play this game too -- while they continue to lay-off staff and reduce costs. There's more than a whiff of desperation I see in the majority of headlines from most major news sources. It is a sad thing.

I don't like these slides. It's not that they're terribly wrong. But they gloss over some of the really important aspects. And they make actually rather simple problems appear harder than they are.

Take for example slide 29. This slide suggests, that off-screen redirection of OpenGL applications (as required for composition) is something special and needs to be treated differently than non-OpenGL graphics. This is simply not true. If OpenGL is used in a window system integrated context (WSI is a rather new term, which has been properly defined only recently, but the principle has been the same since the beginning; what's new is, that since OpenGL-3 you can use a GL context without WSI) the window framebuffer is not managed by the OpenGL implementation, but whatever windowing system is used (e.g. X11, Win32 GDI, etc.) and the OpenGL implementation just borrows that. And the same mechanism (and incidently code paths) that allow to use a WSI drawable as rendering destination for OpenGL also allows to turn the flow of data around and use a WSI drawable as source for texture access. Somewhere at the bottom it's just pointers to regions of graphics memory after all.

It's a pretty simple process, actually, and the only complicated thing are the weirdly convoluted APIs that have grown around it, to expose something that has always been there, but had been hidden from applications before. But consider how quickly AIGLX was hacked together after Xgl showed up. There have been, IIRC, just a couple of months between.

That's the main insight that lead to the Wayland project. Do away with the API cruft and expose the one thing that has been possible all the time anyway.

Oh, and it should maybe also pointed out that GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is useful for so much more than just composition, and can be used without Composite redirection.

And then there's slide 13, which is simply wrong in stating that there was a time when "Indirect Rendering (…) didn't allow for hardware acceleration." That's not what it implies. It just implies, that there is no fast path between application process and graphics hardware, which slowed down data transfers. But display lists back then were a staple of OpenGL and they did offer and for the legacy code that uses them still do offer excellent performance (it actually took some time for OpenGL drivers Buffer Object based Vertex Array drawing code paths to catch up with display list performance). And one could use display lists over indirect GLX just fine (and actually there ARB_vertex_buffer_object extension defines GLX opcodes, so you can even have that over indirect contexts, too).

For me, the best way to absorb knowledge is text. Video makes it much harder to skip parts (you can jump forwards but you can't quickly skim to make sure you have a vague idea what you're skipping. You can speed up and slow down videos but it's far, far more clunky to me than varying between skim reading vs deep reading. I've spend literally decades now doing that every day when you think about it, varying digestion speed by orders of magnitude without thinking about it, no chipmonk voice involved.

Hyperlinked text might be better, so that you have a graph of knowledge not a searchable seq(book with chapters and an index), but there's a natural order to learning things, the teacher hopefully has an idea what order it makes sense to put the concepts in front of you in.

tldr; books are hard to beat, if something was going to beat it for me it would be a well designed, portable wiki of the book's contents, maybe with some interactive exercises. Definitely not the video lectures and homework of most online courses.

The difference is that in chess or go, generating a search tree is trivial - predicting the world state after a couple turns of go or enumerating all the possible opponent moves in chess takes just a small bit of straightforward code encoding the (simple) rules of the game.

But how does an agent (not you) figure out a search tree of some nontrivial problem? How do you predict what the world state will be after taking some action if a programmer hasn't done that for you? Heck, even how do you predict what the world state might be after a second of doing absolutely nothing in a real-time environment? This is what this research is about.
Nice, a much-needed tool! Suggestion: make it a collaborative effort to keep it updated. In practice, it can be solved rather easily. Host the website on Github Pages. Have a single file in the github repository named e.g. conferences.json which the website reads over AJAX. Anyone can submit pull requests (PR) to add to or modify the conferences.json file, effectively allowing community members to help you maintain the website's freshness.

I felt it was easier to read and understand, since the "is-" or "has-" clearly shows it's a modifier class, and not a base class.

Also, it prevents the namespace from being "polluted" by class names that could be used for other things. For example, there's a "box" element, and a "is-boxed" modifier for the "navbar".

Lastly, the same modifier class can be used on different elements, since they are specific to the context in which they're used.

"When confronted by the fact that they weren't, you went to "oh it changed the defaults.""

I didn't change my position on this complaint. I said the same in the initial post. Changing my defaults is shitty behavior on the part of Microsoft, and as far as I know (which is admittedly limited), they do it with every application they make.

"Then you complain about being unable to Uninstaller it when it's uninstall process is like literally every other application."

Now...this is a lie.

It is not like literally every other application. It does not appear in the Programs and Features list with an uninstall option. I googled it just to make sure I wasn't misremembering since you seem so certain, but others have the same problem. And the solutions are unpleasant:

Books are useful for a couple of reasons.

1) It can do wonders for focus to disable your network connection, open a book, and work through examples (but maybe I just get distracted easily). This actually applies for most tasks that involve a computer and don't need the internet.

2) Not specific to print, but a book that covers a topic in a structured, beginning-to-end way can help reduce gaps in one's knowledge. I learned a bit of BASH by just googling around and reading Stack Overflow, but reading The Linux Command Line (https://www.nostarch.com/tlcl) taught me things I wouldn't have gotten in 10 years of stack overflow browsing.

??? Isnt the MAC address an identity for the AP ?

No, just an address. To be an identity, there must be some way for the AP to demonstrate that it is the right owner of that MAC, otherwise any router can simply copy the MAC.

HTTPS sites do this by getting a CA to vouch for them (in the form of a digitally signed certificate). Tor sites do this by having their address being a representation of their public key, and proving they have the corresponding private key.

I always had a doubt about HTTPS . Say Im connecting through a proxy server to a website. The exchange of keys for HTTPS connection happens through this proxy server, means it can capture those and decrypt the connection whenever it wants , right ? Thanks for your reply.

No, thanks to Diffie-Hellman[1], you can exchange keys with a remote server over a non-secure channel in a way that anyone listening can't figure out the key.

Of course, this happens after the server has proven it is who it says it is, by using one of the methods above. Otherwise, the proxy could pretend to be the server, and exchange keys itself with you.

That's not exactly true, if you actually fast for 3 days, even two pizzas won't make up for the lost calories of a 3 days fast, and it's very likely won't be able to eat 2 pizzas in one go..

I know, I fast regularly (I'm days 2 of a 5 day one at the minute) and I do eat quite a lot when I'm not fasting, and despite what everyone will tell you, I don't 'put back the weight immediately' -- even if I have a nice binge dinner on day 5.

In fact, after quite a few years of fasting very intermittently (I do perhaps 4 a year), I know I can't eat as much as I used to, and I don't 'creep' up as I used to when I started. I'm a LOT dryer than I was, and I can still enjoy a 32 ounce steak (!) when I feel like one.

Dear HN,

I'm building my resume around CRO and performance marketing techniques. Because I'm a digital marketer I couldn't find any other way than showing my skills rather than telling them. When I first thought of the project it sounded like a good idea. But now I'm confused and need a second opinion.

Should I keep testing different versions and hope to find a better resume?
Or is it completely a waste of time?

It uses the same method, but the focus of openEMS is more in RF devices while Meep is more focused on optics.
One important difference is that openEMS supports graded (inhomogeneous) meshes. You need this since for RF devices some features are much much smaller than the wavelength, e.g. feeding lines, and you do not want (or need) a dense mesh everywhere in those cases.
Furthermore openEMS has a small GUI to display the defined structure and mesh to inspect if your setup is ok.

FWIW in Germany there has been a strong anti-nuclear sentiment in the public, at least since the reunification. The West German Greens merged with an alliance of progressive opposition groups from East Germany, resulting in the modern Greens, "Bündnis 90/Die Grünen".

The Greens are generally socially progressive (though not by any means socialist) but their core messages are similar to those of NGOs like Greenpeace. By virtue of being represented in numerous coalition governments over the years, on communal, federal and national levels, there has been a very consistent and vocal opposition to nuclear power in German politics.

Fukushima was ultimately the straw that broke the camel's back, forcing Angela Merkel (who's actually part of the conservative party, CDU) to officially disavow nuclear power, even though it meant violating some contracts.

The origin of the underlying anti-nuclear sentiment likely lies in the peace movements of the 60s/70s because there is a still a strong connection between nuclear power and nuclear weapons in most people's minds and being caught between the US and the Soviet Union there was a lot of awareness how horrible nuclear weapons actually are.

Political processes in determining long-term storage sites for nuclear waste regularly make tabloid headlines, as do the protests around the transport. Chernobyl was likely what made nuclear power a mainstream concern, the constant protests, reporting and debates eroded the support further, Fukushima just was the final nail in the coffin.

Germans as a group tend to be rather risk-averse. The harm of coal power is imminent and obvious but predictable. The harm of nuclear power is delayed and much less predictable but potentially much more disastrous -- it's essentially a gamble (although I'd argue that the odds are pretty darn good and the risks are greatly exaggerated).

That said, Germans ultimately want green energy, not coal power. Coal is just seen as the necessary evil while the gap is being bridged.

Also, I would never work on Upwork or similar network where everybody can say about them what they want and bid on whatever they want (with low prices).

Well, I'm guessing probably doesn't mean "ten million" in this particular case.

"M" is one of those fundamentally ambiguous type of abbreviations that really shouldn't ever be used. (Kind of like nn/nn/nn date formats.)

It is commonly used to mean both "thousand" (M was the Roman numeral for 1000) and "million" (10K, 10M, 10B).
