I did see that tweet. Maybe I was a bit unclear. I mean that the whole editor itself doesn't open when you don't have a connection (at least for me). My reproduction steps are:

> When it happens, it sometimes still responds to pings, but nothing more; if I try to ssh into it from my laptop, I do not even receive a TCP ACK.

Interesting. Pinging is handled entirely by the kernel. I wonder if the ACK code path has to enter and leave userspace before the response comes out the network card?

If disabling C6 (as per other comments) doesn't fix it, one possible place to start would be

1. Something like "while true; do date > file; sync; sleep 1; done" to track when userspace dies. (Okay, a proper C program that does fdatasync() just for that file would probably be better.)

2. Get inspired by http://elixir.free-electrons.com/linux/latest/source/drivers..., which borrows your system's RTC as non-volatile storage with simple write semantics - maybe you can borrow the year/month fields to store the current HH:MM. If on reboot the stored value matches wall clock time from another source (synced with the PC beforehand) at the moment you pull the plug, the kernel was still running. Then you could eg use the whole value to trace kernel locks and major mutexes etc.

3. Actually, if you can ping the kernel and that works, you could abuse the network stack to get data out!! Eg, pinging with certain bits set in the packet could trigger some magic code that returns system info. ICMP PING tunneling is a thing, and you could totally use this.

Yea commiting by hunks is also super useful. I find a lot of engineers only have a cursory understanding of a lot of git. Rebase vs merge throws a lot of people off and not a lot of people know about git bisect which is just incredibly useful. I think some of it is that people like the graphical nature of things like sourcetree which while offering pretty interfaces don't fully flesh out git. Give me the command line any day.

Depending on the industry, there is a tendency to hire founders of a certain age group.

The physics courses that I have been involved in, both as a student and in an instructional capacity, used several modes of instruction. Active learning was one, but lectures were certainly another.

The point of lectures were to lay the groundwork for the active learning component. Without that foundation, the students would have been forced to find other means to acquire background knowledge.

I feel like this is one of those things that sounds like it might be true, but isn't. It's four hours from Tokyo to Hokkaido by train, f.e., and not much cheaper than a flight.

> I know that is difficult to imagine in the US, but please have an open mind.

I do try to have an open mind, despite being an Australian living in Australia.

My work requires that I travel regularly - most major cities in Australia warrant air-travel, due to the distances involved, but price and (in)convenience of air travel reduce the appeal.

Sydney to Canberra is a curious exception - at around 300km it's actually slightly faster to drive than to fly, once you factor in intra-city commute (to / from airports) and usual security & check-in waits. I'd love a high-speed ground-based option, as short-haul flights offend my green sensibilities, and as much as I enjoy driving, I can get more done, have a safer journey, and be more relaxed if I'm not driving. There is a train service - but it's not terribly frequent, and takes more than 4 hours (plus the intra-city commute, as for air travel). There's been talk of high speed rail links along the east coast (Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne) for decades, but still no actual commitment in sight.

I'm highly envious of what's happening in other parts of the world.

> What's wrong with Congress questioning someone about legal but shady activity?

If Congress had invited him to come testify, and he'd accepted, I would have absolutely zero problems with that. But that wasn't the situation he was in -- he was forced to attend a Congressional hearing by federal subpoena, for an action that was obviously not illegal in any way.

At the least, it was a small abuse of power in exchange for a publicity stunt. At the worst, it was unlawful detainment in an attempt to intimidate.

why is it beneficial to have both? Who does OOo serve that LO doesn't? And why would a volunteer choose to work on OOo and not LO if they weren't on the OOo side of the fork to begin with?

It sounds like you expect some sort of objective, definitive answer to those questions. I don't think there are any such answers. A lot of people use AOO, a bit fewer contribute to development. I can't explain the motivations of any of those people, outside of myself. I can't even explain why so many of the "old school" OO developers "sided" - so to speak - with LO, other than just the timing of the thing.

But I came into AOO after a lot of the weird stuff had already happened, that created all this bitterness and resentment between the two projects. I'm a bit of an outsider as it were. So I have a hard time understanding why there even is all this acrimony and tension at all.

So I don't have a lot of good answers for you. All I can say is that, for myself, I gravitated to AOO for a few reasons:

1. I prefer the Apache License

2. I was familiar with, and liked, the ASF way of doing things.

3. I started out with high hopes to leverage what seemed like a natural synergy between AOO and other ASF projects. In particular, some of the Semantic Web tech (Jena, Fuseki), and all the "big data" projects. It just felt natural to me to want to work on AOO since there was a certain amount of overlap in membership between these various projects, etc.

Sadly, I got so bogged down with other activities, that I have never found time to really contribute to AOO and work on a lot of the things I had hoped to work on. I still cling to some of those ambitions, but other priorities keep getting in the way.

Sorry for the long, rambling semi-answer. I'm tired and just kind of going "stream of consciousness" here.
Bitwise OR and XOR on bools. Bitwise XOR is just !=, so it's useless. Bitwise OR isn't identical to any other operators, but writing code which specifically relies on side-effects of a function on the RHS of an OR does not strike me as the sort of thing that the Go designers would approve of.
He makes great points, but I intuitively feel like certain acts of creating and selling malware should be illegal, even if only by the spirit and not the letter of the law.

If someone manufactures guns, doesn't register them, and knowingly sells them to street gangs, it kind of seems like they're aiding and abetting illegal activities for profit.

Of course there are instances of selling malware you created to parties who generally won't use it illegally, but that's not what's alleged here.

Whether Hutchins truly violated the law, I don't know, but if the allegations are true then he did something very unethical and something I feel should be illegal.

This is interesting, but it depends on the proposition that "active learning" is clearly better than more traditional education methods. That's not nearly as plain or uncontroversial as the article implies.

One issue is that when educational techniques are compared, it is troublingly common for the comparison to be between simplistic and homogenous definitions that are only rarely encountered in real classrooms. Educators and non-trivial courses that depend entirely on lectures or entirely on active exercises are so rare they statistically don't exist. Every class I've taken, taught or observed was a blend of multiple types of learning and instruction, distinctions being ones of emphasis, not of type.

The article also seems to assume that there is a best, or at least better, way to teach that is independant of how individual students learn or what particular topic or discipline is being taught. That's, to be frank, ludicrous. It's been clear for a very long time that appropriate and effective educational approaches depend a great deal on what is being taught and who it's being taught to. For example, imagine teaching history without lectures, or programming without hands-on activities.

Good educators tailor the mix of approaches to their particular students and topics. I'm baffled why any educator would support the idea that lectures should be completely eradicated. Why not, instead, take a hard look at the curriculum and mode of instruction with an interest in determining the best approach for the most students and then trust your faculty to make appropriate choices on how to tailor it to a class---with the odd lecture once in a while if it's useful. If they've got a problem with some courses or educators depending on lectures to the detriment of students, the solution is to redevelop the curriculum and train the educator on different techniques---not to just outright ban one approach.

Medical students are generally top students that are highly motivated. Further, cohorts tend to be in all the same classes with each other, encouraging mutual support. Those traits, along with medical education being task focussed, argue for active learning approaches. But that isn't true of, say, freshman English.

Finally, there has always been a circular definition problem with new educational approaches. For example, "active learning" often seems to have an implicit definition along the lines of "self-directed exploration that is sucessful". If you tried it and it wasn't effective, then what you were doing wasn't active learning, QED.

The government made no serious attempt to censor the contents of leaks once leaked. Once the papers get their hands on something, it becomes public. The "censorship" activity here is to identify, punish, and deter people in positions of privileged access to "black" information who transfer it to the public domain, not people in the "clear" world who repeat that information.
So SCOTUS runs its own system and the rest of the federal courts lock their public records behind the PACER paywall. Very consistent.

> Instead of a field, you get a field and two methods

And if you wanted a publically read-only/privately mutable value without properties you'd have to write ... a field and one method. Possibly two methods if you wanted some shared validation code everywhere you assign the field.

Like I said, in practice, it's the same. If you have some case where three vs. two members makes a difference you're in pathological case territory.

The POSIX specification for ls's output is sufficiently precise[1] that it is quite reasonable to rely upon it. As a result, many scripts from a diverse array of vendors do so. A cursory glance at my home Ubuntu server has 'ls' invoked in many of the base package installation scripts and more besides.

One could sometimes use find(1) of course, but it has different semantics and output to ls unless you jump through some very silly command-line hoops that will make you say "should've just used ls".

As for the stat(1) program, which might be an alternative for individual files, it is not standardised, is not portable, and is in fact totally incompatible between GNU coreutils and BSD userland (including Mac OS).

Have an applicant file a discrimination claim based on any number of factors in hiring or an employee file a claim of discrimination based on promotions and or down-sizing and you will suddenly have the privilege of providing every metric imaginable on the applicant pool. This will include interview selection process, distribution by any number of factors, hiring justification etc. All these can and do happen currently, no addition government regulations required.

For a company that is committed to fairness and compliance w non-discrimination policies, self-determination sets the standards by which compliance w company guidelines is measured. Frequently a quality assurance process verifies compliance of their specified metrics before an offer or promotion is extended. No cause for concern when as a company you are committed to fairness and ensure such through self-assessments.
Some people resent people that find success in modest startups. Selling useful libraries to developers won't make you a billionaire, but it can create a comfortable, steady revenue stream-- RAD game tools (in Seattle) has been doing this for a long time, selling things like video codecs and profilers and animation systems.

You could write a basic version of these tools in a few months, so it's easy for some programmers to dismiss-- but companies can do basic math, and understand that a $5,000 licensing fee is much cheaper than 3 months of developer time!
Global warming and this coming mass extinction thing are gonna be awesome. And IPv6.
Ditto. I googled around and the gist of candle physics is this:
-wick is lit and then heat travels downward to the candle
-immediately begins melting the wax, which are hydrocarbons that fuel the fire. it's a simple combustion reaction as they mix with oxygen in the high heat
-capillary action sends melted hydrocarbons up the wick, continuing the reaction

No mention of energy loss when lighting another candle... but really heat is the byproduct of the combustion reaction, so lighting another candle is harnessing the byproduct and doesn't interfering the reaction. The expression is valid! :-P
