Let's be clear on this: it was never official to begin with.
Do you believe in the term, "culture fit?" How Google responds to this describes theirs. If you say that "it's different," or, "it depends on the department," then that's just a difference of degree, not of kind.
I think your argument lies more in the fact that linux is non standard to Unix. They have gone their own way and made it difficult to transfer knowledge. Ask anyone who has ported a Linux application to any other Unix. It's at best a PITA. At worst a nightmare.

Can you do it? Sure. But it isn't pleasant. The Linux community is off in the weeds imo. Doing their own poor re-implementations of tech others have already done. See: Dtrace, Filesystems, Jails/zones, Networking, VM, Init systems, ...

So I think trying to argue it's easier to install Linux because Linux folks can't transfer their knowledge to other OS's speaks volumes to it being a poor choice to invest skills in if you can't transfer them to other OS's

Are you sure your digging deep enough? I have seen plenty of cases where different fields seemed to share a theme. But, the details always diverged on closer inspection, limiting the value of the comparison.

To stretch an analogy stacking blocks seems like you can add the heights, except the weight of the stack deforms them, so addition is misleading.

You yourself admit they're opinions. I'm not sure why you find this to be a problem.

> If you dont want to do that, then how about you just post your opinion in its own thread?

I'm terribly sorry to inform you but conversations develop in threads here. That's normal. There are cases where that doesn't happen, but I'm pretty sure "these are our experiences about Clojure" is on topic enough.

Besides, you went into other people's threads to say they were wrong about Clojure. It does feel like you're giving yourself a double standard here...

> Fuck off. Really.

I really don't understand why we can't keep a conversation about programming languages civil and light-hearted.

Tool choices have impact and weight, but there is room for a lot of people in the world. Why is my presence so specifically intolerable?

I'm not even the only person who has a different experience. Heck, I can point to 3 other nastily worded posts you didn't reply to. Please tell me what makes my post special? The charisma? The power? The... You know... Animal magnetism?

Thinking on it though, if you really are made that uncomfortable by this conversation, please accept my apologies. Just because I'm confused doesn't obligate you to explain.
Actually the real issue is, "when the system is 65% full and you reboot, how long will it take for ZFS to mount it"?

Perhaps he has split up ZFS into a number of different pools and they can be mounted in parallel (depends on the init script and whether ZFS can do this). But I do recall that larger ZFS pools can take a bit of time to mount; maybe the updated ZFS for Linux is faster....
Bundling. Gnome > logind > systemd.

Yeah yeah, Gnome can work without logind. But doing so is not easy and require ongoing patches as new versions of Gnome rolls out.

Immutable maps that have efficient update semantics
I am completely shocked the author of this article has published 200 peer-reviewed articles, testified before congress, etc...

> Let’s begin with the assumption that you can detect emotion in another person accurately. [...] People who are happy sometimes smile and sometimes don’t. Sometimes they even cry when they’re happy (say, at a wedding) and smile when they’re sad (when missing a beloved aunt who passed away).

Apparently the need for contextual cues and nuanced understanding renders the task of reading anothers' emotions futile for the author and her coleagues. I have found myself capable of overcoming it.

> A reasonable, science-backed way to define and practice emotional intelligence comes from a [process that] is completely unconscious.

Ah, yes. That very scientific and well-understood "consciousness" thing.

You shouldn't argue that people are approaching emotional intelligence wrong by appealing to neuroscience any more than you should tell people they've built their house wrong by appealing to particle physics.
Adding to tyingq's comment, not all scrapers are efficient, either.

Is NewYorker trying to be The Onion now?

That's my only takeaway from this.
I believe they could! With all that technology? Shoot. All we had was a stage and a screen to work with. I will say that in another study it was found that the sound of women's dress shoes unconsciously biased juries. So we all (even men) walk to the stage on a carpet strip to mute that sound, or we play in stocking feet or soft shoes. Taking the screen away at the end is its only flaw. I will say something that a lot of non musicians may not realize, though. If you know a player (we all have known one another from childhood, in many cases) you can pick him/her out of 100 players just like you recognize someone's voice on the phone. So, there is always that bias. So, not 100% perfect, but better. If the conductor/principal player knows you and likes you...it helps...a lot.(and they are fairly likely to know you, at least) It doesn't matter what instrument they are playing either. I could recognize any player's playing I know by their kazoo playing, just like you can instantly hear the difference between Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder. Players whose playing is nondescript don't make it to the level of taking an orchestral audition, even poorly. I'm curious, is code at the highest levels the same? I'm not an accomplished enough programmer to know this. That would be an interesting difference between coding and playing music, but I suspect you could recognize a great programmer's coding style.

Why aren't there totally blind coding interviews? I just don't get it! The science (I've read but can't remember the source now- if you know it, please share) says that in-person interviews are not helpful in helping to identify successful candidates, and are often harmful.

Incidentally, this means that depending on the property law in your state, your share might be halved in event of divorce, and your spouse gets a nice paycheck.

There's a TV series "Alone" where they drop people off in the remote woods (far from each other) and the person that can survive the longest by themselves wins $500k.

As the season goes on, you can see a clear decline in the mental health of many of the contestants. Many drop out just out of sheer boredom or loneliness, even though they have decent shelter and can find food. The winners usually last about 2-3 months alone.

it's shocking how little humility that group of people has, how unwilling they are to say "hey I don't really understand this, I should defer to someone who does"

I think the worst case of this in science is the way that evolution is described in a way that implies an active process rather than just random mutations which may or may not make organisms more fit for survival.

I think it depends how you do it. I'm not an expert, I just talk about my own experience.

For me the 'fastest' way is to hike alone seven days in wilderness without meeting anyone and not staying still in one place. Having clear physical task helps to settle things.

First time I did it, I think the one of the biggest revelations came in the morning of the 5th day. I was really unhappy. Never been outdoors long time. I was tired and dirty first 4 days. Everything I did I hated. I hated walking. I hated putting up a tent etc. and did everything sloppily and as little effort as possible. Then just woke up at one morning and there was no internal bitching. I had to cross a tiny river, undress and go into cold water and carry things over. I just did it without thinking or aversion. I just took the shock of cold and horrible slimy feel in the mud without flinching. I was not assessing my performance or proud of my new stoic style of doing stuff. It was not fun but it was very peaceful and matter of fact.

I have lived in a hut for a few months in a summer in constant isolation with nothing to do and the idleness brings up weird mental states. Like several days of vivid fantasizes followed by sleeping a week 9-10 hours day with weird dreams and being little paranoid. Creativity bursts where you think you are very close to some breakthrough were the worst. The urge to do abstract carvings or build gadgets could get out of hand for me. Eventually things settle down at least for me.
> For every competent FreeBSD or Illumos sysadmin there are 10x equally experienced with Linux

That's the Nth I've read this quote on HN, it became a classic... You can't find a FreeBSD sysadmin but you can find a Linux admin.

Where I work I have to deal with AIX, Solaris, Open/FreeBSD (Had Net before), Linux (all major flavours) and (god Forbid) Windows Server (2008, 12R2, 2016 and Nano). I've build packages for most of these systems. I don't know all of them inside/out but NEVER had problem implementing/setting/testing features in any of them.

Can you tell me in a what way an intermediate (say 5 years) of experience, linux sysadmin would have problems managing a Free/Open/NetBSD?

There was a huge harassment culture on Orkut. It was a place where was normal to get insulted. Exactly the opposite of FB, which might be extreme on the other side, full of fake compliments.

One of the things that FB got right was exactly this one. Am not sure how they did it, maybe because they started from highly educated places in the US and that set the tone for everyone who joined later.
Awesome post Ryan, I really like your approach! I just found out about now.sh the other day, and found its features and capabilities to be very exciting, and pretty unique for the most part. Does Ghost still have the capacity to output static html (thought it did pre 1.0; not sure with latest) ? If so, can I ask why you didn't go with using that feature, and then push the html via now or to any other service, since you're composing/editing locally anyway? Also, I looked for the ability to make this comment on your blog post itself, but didn't see any facility to do so, and then realized that this was because it's a read-only Ghost instance as you described. Is there any way to get comments with this approach. I'm thinking with the an Ghost-to-html approach (if available still in 1.0), you might be able to script something up to also embed Disqus into the outputted HTML, but as far as comments with your read-only Ghost on now.sh approach, no way to incorporate comments, correct? Anyway your blog theme was pretty attractive on Chrome mobile BTW. Enjoyable read all the way around.

actions that any reasonable person would consider innocuous.

What is said in the post is certainly the kind of thing it's reasonable to lose friends and possibly family members over, and certainly acquaintances. The kind of thing you hear at a party and decide not to make friends with someone. Despite it being -- or maybe because it's -- not even very well argued, if it's even possible to do so, which I don't think it is.

It's funny that work is pretty much the only place it's proposed that the words not entertain a reaction. This person affects hiring decisions and performance reviews!

I was one of those suburban kids that grew up cycling on suburban streets without bike lanes (or even sidewalks). But I had a hard perimeter beyond which I was not permitted to cross -- I was not allowed to leave my small neighborhood streets and use one of the larger roads that would have taken me somewhere useful.

The only way to go to school was to take a bus (or be driven there by my parents) even though my elementary school was less than a mile away, and my high school was less than 3 miles away. With no sidewalks or bike paths, I can see why my parents wouldn't allow me to do either.

With no safe way to bike across the small town (which was only around 8 miles from end to end), a car was the only viable option.

But 15 years after leaving my bike behind in that small town, I discovered cycling as recreation and lived in a city that had enough cyclists and bike paths to make cycling safer and viable as transportation.

I haven't looked back and now ride my bike for commuting and for general transportation - it's very convenient to ride downtown and not have to worry about parking (and since I can cut through a train station and a city park on my bike, it's faster than driving would be).

When I was a teenager I thought that "reducing physical exertion" was a good thing, now that I'm almost 4 decades older, I welcome the chance to increase my physical exertion by commuting by bike.
I'm confused, how is it server less if it literally had a server.py file that acts as an HTTP server? I'm not sure, but it appears it may also expect to run in Docker, for another layer of complexity. Finally, why this vs any other editor? What advantage does it offer, especially if the first two assumptions in this post are accurate?

It seems to also be a sort of repl or something that evaluates the code you write as you write it maybe? I'd have to look at this from my computer to understand, but it's not what I expected from the title.
Ah, the University of Bath study...

It's been cited so often that it's become a factoid, but it was barely scientific: The author is his own test subject. Nobody has attempted to reproduce the work.

Why not just set up a video camera somewhere, and make an unbiased observation?
It's great that so much thought has been put into the design that is printed on boarding passes, but one thing that's always bothered me about them is the physical size.

Every passport is the same size, and you almost always are carrying your passport while flying.

If boarding passes were the same size as passports, they'd fit inside much more easily and make it a lot more convenient to carry.

Sure, the design printed on the paper is important too, but IMHO the size of the pass is far more important!
> Was parent wrong about that point?

I believe it was. See comment above. FreeBSD has excellent documentation on nearly every topic. Nearly every program has a manpage and there's always google to help you.

For advanced topics (CARP, DTrace, ZFS, Jails, Accounting API) the docs are excellent and you'll have to some reading to properly implement any of those anyway.

That's part of the job actually, reading/learning.

Where people see stale and abandonment, i see maturity.

As i grow older i learn the value of mature software. Software that knows its place in the grander scheme of things. That do its job quietly and reliably, with clear information when something goes wrong.

Yes, for a young newcomer said software may look boring, many not be utilizing their latest GPU to draw rectangles on screen, but said software has been doing what it has been doing reliably for a decade or more.

Damn it, just look at systemd-resolved. It keeps pulling the trigger on footgun after footgun because someone decided that he could do DNS better than existing, battle tested, software, and lumped it in with the rest of the systemd shoggoth for good measure.

What seems to happen with most of these projects is that the initial developer gets discouraged when he bumps into the 10% of remaining functionality of what he is replacing. The 10% that is hard, and that has lead to the large amount of gnarly code in the old and "stale" project he was gunning to replace in a caffeine fueled weekend.

But sadly this threadmill that FOSS is saddled with will continue to spin, because as a culture software development has come to value LOCS pr hour over reliability. And we keep punting the old guard into middle management, and replace them with youngers that hammers out said LOCS rather than stop and consider what the old code is actually doing.
Perhaps I read the article wrong, but I was under the impression that he came back to society after 27 years. This would mean if there had been a disaster while he was gone, his genes would make up a much higher percentage of the population than if he had stayed.

I've had people deliberately swerve towards me, presumably to frighten me. My spouse once fell off her bike when she had to avoid a car that cut in front of her (I was a witness, being about 20 feet behind her).

Just last week, a vehicle appeared to slow down for me to cross the road, and just as I began to proceed, he gunned his engine and forced me to make a panic stop.

Also, I've had things thrown at me on more than one occasion.

Yes, violence by motorists against cyclists is a thing. Even if it's just a threat or a joke, it's still assault.
I'm planning on doing a tiny ZFS pool (once I've finally saved up for it - financials can be fun sometimes!), and was thinking of doing FreeBSD for ZFS and Linux for everything else on top of Xen.

I'm currently unsure how to make Linux see the ZFS pool though. I.... don't really like NFS. It's too glitchy in my experience. I use it to listen to music stored on a different machine from my laptop, which uses a long-range USB Wi-Fi adapter. If I unplug the adapter without cleanly unmounting /nfs, I get a kworker in an infinite loop. I googled around one afternoon and discovered that RHEL apparently found and fixed this in kernel 3.x. Interesting - I'm on Slackware, with kernel 4.1.x. >.<

I wish you could do cross-VM virtio. That would be awesome. Then I could export the device node corresponding to the whole pool from FreeBSD and just mount it as a gigantic ext4 filesystem on Linux. (Can you do that?!)
No one is talking about "stigma" as a deterrent to study. Still not many men in "spin class" or pilates in NYC, although that is changing for the better too.

I thought that the DSM's criterion for pathology vs. eccentricity was whether it negatively effects the person and/or those around them. Treatment is only indicated insofar as the condition is actually causing a problem.
This my emotional, biased opinion. But humanity has begun a fundamental shift in the way we live due to widespread, cheap access to digital technology and information via the internet. Whatever happened before the past 10 years of insane growth we have seen is completely relevant. The relics of a bygone era. People will say "yeah, everyone thinks this time is different". Except it is. We have never had anything even remotely as game changing as this before. For the first time in human history, absolutely no one can imagine what will come even 10 years from now.
Not at all. You never reveal private keys when transacting. You will reveal addresses, however. The only BTC addresses that have BCH value are those that existed at the fork. So before using them in the BCH blockchain, it would be prudent to first spend them in the BTC blockchain. Doing this is a double spend in some sense, but they happen in different blockchains, so they don't affect each other.
