The title and general coverage is actually pretty insulting to Betty Shannon, and suggests that we're scraping the bottom of the women in STEM barrel pretty hard, aren't we?
I suppose I might object that "making a sale" is a tangible benefit but that is a different conversation about the value of commerce in general. Let's not go there today!

I heartily agree with your thesis though - making the case that 'nothing' is a good thing is incredibly difficult. It took decades to prove cigarettes dangerous then get rid of cigarette advertising and that was linked to an observable medical problem.

I don't hold hope that we'll manage with advertising.
I used to work at a startup called Trusker doing the same thing, I can't give your comment enough up votes on 1. not very tech savvy, 2. margins were low, 3. too much hand holding and I would add 4. a 1200 mile trip between commercial locations with weird hours and instructions is nothing like the intracity taxi markets.
An instruction like that is why I don't use Linux as a desktop!
Yes. For years now (at least since 14.04), on HDD, Ubuntu boots to login screen (and once password is given, gets faster to usable desktop) than Win7, Win8.1 and Win10 on every hardware I've run both. And Ubuntu isn't the fastest booting desktop out there.
I agree with your observations, but I'm not sure that I agree that this is a huge problem; but maybe I've been using FreeBSD differently than you have.

At my current employer, and the previous, we used FreeBSD for its base OS, and then most of the services we ran were our own proprietary code, built with in-house patches on top of an open source language. We didn't and don't tend to upgrade the OS unless a release (or a patch) fixes a specific issue we're seeing, or is a security issue in things we actually use, but new hardware tends to get the latest OS (we're currently installing 10.3, but may consider 11.1 now that it's out; we do have a couple machines running 11.0 because they need the per disk io threads and fixes to directio that i think were in 11 as well). When we run into problems, we'll look to see if it has been fixed in upstream, and see if we can apply that to the whatever release we're currently using. If not, we try to fix it ourselves, and then offer the fix back; but we're happy to run with our version of the fix until it makes it upstream.

We've had pretty good luck with upgrades not causing major issues, but we did have some trouble with mrsas drivers for a while, and the VM change in 10.x where pages are marked inactive and can get swapped out without memory pressure caused us a lot of trouble until we figured it out.

The benefit of the lengthy release process is that the releases are pretty solid, and once a system is setup, we don't have to touch it. Also, because FreeBSD doesn't change for the sake of it, we don't usually have to worry about some systems being on 9.x, some on 10.x, and some on 11.x; we just are sure to build software either on the hosts themselves, or on an older system, so it'll run on all systems.

Edit to add: The most frustrating thing for me are the many Bugzilla entries for issues that I'm having, with patches, that are sitting there for years. For example this one https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25986 which was open for 14 years before it became CVE-2015-5358

I'd suggest that it warrants more investigation than just writing it off as Apple trashes networks. Hybrid Apple/Windows households have been common for the larger part of 2 decades now and certainly others do not experience the same issues guaranteed.

These are all common libraries that most distributions should have.

1. "asound" refers to ALSA.
2. "pulse" is PulseAudio

A quick google search looks like these may be the packages you need:

1. alsa-lib-devel
2. pulseaudio and pulseaudio-libs-devel
3. liblame-devel, maybe?

Looks like I'll need to spend some time here soon installing a few more popular distros and figuring out the exact package names.

I wasn't clear. I read 'scientific giant' as a 'scientific giant to general society' (those who start touching pop culture/media) as opposed to giant only in their field. For example, Shannon and Turing became giants to general society later on. Very few during their time knew the world of today that Shannon and Turing were creating. Shannon and Turing are only recently being recognized (hollywood films and biographies) in general society because we all now undoubtedly live in their world. And that is arguably why we're now learning about Betty Shannon.
As far as I can tell, "things are worse now" (or put the other way, "everything was better in the past") is a generally accepted thing throughout time and space. Including absurdities like "people were happier" or "there was less pollution".
This means that for over a year there has been no good answer to the question "which version of FreeBSD should I use".

Not true at all. The answer is:

1. If you have systems which are already running 10.x, you should run the latest 10.x release.

2. If you're deploying a new system now, you should deploy it with the latest 11.x release.

3. If you're building a product which you will be selling next year, you should build it on top of FreeBSD HEAD, so that it will be running a recent release when it ends up being deployed.

Old STABLE branches get updates and new releases because there are deployed systems which are using them. Think of 10.3 as "FreeBSD 10, service pack 3".

> It is bizarre watching other tourists around, how they navigate from spot to spot to get a picture in some of the most famous places on earth without ever stopping to absorb where they were, they never bothered to understand the history or the architecture behind some place, they have 75 pictures of the same place but probably couldn't tell you the color on the walls five minutes after the picture was taken.

I'm kinda this. Honestly though, for the most part I really don't care about whatever famous place I'm at, I'm just there because I know when I get back someone is going to ask did I go to X, Y or Z. So I go, I do that thing to check it off my list and spend my time doing what i actually want, which is usually more nature oriented (wilderness backpacking) and less touristy. I actually pretty much dislike going to the big tourist areas, and want to get done with it as fast as possible so I don't soak it in unless I have a real desire to be there.

Please note that you're extrapolating from my post: this isn't what I said.

We still need this pattern: there's no way you're going to implement "undo" using only first-class functions, and I'm well aware of that.

In some specific situations, though, we don't need it anymore, like when connecting a GUI "save" button to a "document.save" function.
Agreed, the big AI successes of the past decade like AlphaGo are specialised machines that only work in a specified domain. It's still a huge achievement, but I have yet to see any AI that warrants regulation anymore than any other automation technology.
Why does anyone think the magnet attack matters? The wireless safety is designed to defeat a child, or an assailant who manages to wrestle the gun away from you. The idea that they're going to pull out a big-ass rare earth magnet and fire it that way just doesn't make any sense in real-world scenarios.

The problem with the iP1 is that it can be jammed, and this should be a surprise to absolutely nobody.
If you have a linux device on the network you could have that be the dhcp server and control lease times there, dhcp and dns on a linux machine(even an old laptop) are way better than all but the top tier netgear routers. If your windows machine is always on you could even run it in a vm.

Forrest Gump is a 1994 American comedy-drama film based on the 1986 novel of the same name by Winston Groom. The film was directed by Robert Zemeckis and stars Tom Hanks, Robin Wright, Gary Sinise, Mykelti Williamson, and Sally Field. The story depicts several decades in the life of Forrest Gump, a slow-witted but kind-hearted, good-natured and athletically prodigious man from Alabama who witnesses, and in some cases influences, some of the defining events of the latter half of the 20th century in the United States; more specifically, the period between Forrest's birth in 1944 and 1982. The film differs substantially from Winston Groom's novel, including Gump's personality and several events that were depicted.

Another issue is that, at least in my experience, the upgrade experience can be a bit fraught. Especially if you're using packages. I've been using FreeBSD intermittently since somewhere around 1997 or 1998, so I'm not a complete n00b. But I've had enough instances where an upgrade hosed something important that I'm hesitant to upgrade until I'm sure I'll have time to troubleshoot fix something weird and new. And this of course ends up being a self-fulfilling prophecy because the longer I wait to upgrade, the more likely stuff is to break.

I don't think I'm an idiot, but sometimes FreeBSD makes me feel like one. (This is, of course, in contrast to OpenBSD where the software may not make me feel like an idiot, but the developers do.)
Why reduce all activity to such simplistic motivations? Maybe art is a spandrel. Maybe artists don't get laid any more often than non-artists. Maybe human beings do lots of things that have little to do with passing their genetic material on, because we've acquired motivations that aren't simply reducible to survival or sex. Maybe some of us realized that making art was enjoyable, regardless of whatever reason it arose in the species a couple million years ago.

That's all fine and dandy for the desktop case.

This is amazing. I especially appreciate how broad and inclusive it is. I hate the idea that a bunch of girls are going to do 'girls who code' or similar things, not like it, and think STEM isn't for them. Coding sucks sometimes and it is so important that we include all of stem (personally I prefer STEAM, stem + art).

I don't like math, probably as a result of terrible scarring experiences in elementary school. But I still love technology and coding. We need to allow girls the flexibility to learn about all of stem and find out what will provide for 70+ years of happiness and productivity.

How is this different than securities sold on public stock markets? If you hold a large position in a nasdaq 100 stock and drop a large sell order on the ECN's, you are surely going to see a similar (albeit not as dramatic) phenomenon. Does that mean the market cap of stocks shouldn't be used to assess value?
I'm not sure how you would address this with a branch, while keeping your sanity. If I understand the parent, he would like to see more frequent releases, especially more frequent releases of fixes to bugs seen in the released versions, but I think he would also want to keep quality of releases about the same.

That means, you probably just can't cut releases on a schedule and call it a day, you also have to decide which commits should be added to your inbetween releases, and which should wait. Sometimes, that's probably pretty easy, but other times, I would expect a lot of things to be mixed together, especially when code refactoring is needed to enable new features, the refactoring may (hopefully) fix existing bugs, but the new features are likely to be unstable for some time, and shouldn't really get into a release until they're done.

Managing that without upstream cooperation sounds like a nightmare, or at least like something that needs a team of smart people.

Decompiled programs are full of approximations and guesses, and generally can't be recompiled without manual tweaking of the source code.

For example, "mov eax, 0x0040137C"

Is is this an address or a numeric constant?

Should it be translated to:

1) var = 4199292;

2) var = &SomeGlobalVariable;

If you're lucky you might get a non-ambiguous answer from the relocation table embedded in your executable.

So you're probably better off writing a new backend for the Go compiler (a backend generating machine code, or C code).

The resulting program will have, by far, a lot less dangerous approximations.
