But don't we put "sweat and blood" into our code as well? Don't we, in fact, put more effort into our code than into our trees, which the sun freely shines on and which (in Hawaii) the rain freely falls on, on the earth a patch of which you call your property for reasons no more clear than the reasons you would call a piece of code you wrote your "intellectual property"?

Are the birds that eat the grapes and crap out the seeds stealing? They are propagating as they consume. Are your neighbors that eat the grapes and crap out the seeds merely consuming? Why is it that for your average Westerner, nature is always something consumed? Is it not more like a "given" resource that some of us put effort into harnessing, much like the free flow of ideas is directed into computer programs?

My point is that people will come up with no end of arguments for why code should be free, yet I just knew that the top comment on this post was going to be some moralist maintaining the importance of private property in one sphere, while implicitly maintaining the necessity of its transgression in another sphere.

> Many people get fulfillment from the work they do because feel like they contribute to society.

Many people got fulfillment from playing Chess, or Go, or weaving, or tilling a field with their own hands. Many, but fewer people, still enjoy doing these things today, although machines are better at it than them. Others have moved on to other ways of self-fulfillment.

If you oppose automation of activities people find fulfillment in, you should oppose game-playing AI much more than jobs being automated away. There are much fewer people that hate playing board games but have to do it anyway because it's the one skill they have that will put bread on the table.

This is more complex then just a target. Rust has to communicate to the Go Runtime Environment.

Two main points:

-Go uses a very small stack for GoRoutines to make them dirt cheap. When you exceed this stack, Go maps in more stack for you transparently. Rust generated ASM is running on the Go Stack, but it is expecting when it exceeds its stack to explode, like a C program. As that should be the OS Stack. Larger problem then you think, Rust likes to put a ton of stuff on the stack. This is one of the nice things about Rust is putting _a ton_ of data on the stack is cheap, and makes ownership simpler.

-Go's system calls, and concurrency primitives are cooperative with its runtime. When make they communicate the routine can yield to the runtime. Targeted Rust code would _also_ have to make these calls, as well as 3rd party crates.

Again none of this is impossible, linker directives and FFI magic could import these functions/symbols. But this would also require Go have a stabilized runtime environment for other languages to link against. Currently just stating Go has a runtime is controversial, so I expect this won't happen soon.
Now? You do have to deal with the downsides of a projector system (limited contrast, you have to religiously control the light in the room, etc.) but you can do it now.
That was my point. I don't see how using "side-channels" or "off chain" systems are materially different from using the Visa or the Kroner system, and then when you want a public settlement layer that is open and well-defined converting some funds from those systems to a crypto system. What's the difference?

Can't off chain systems be seen as simply analogous to transacting in deposited funds with paypal where your paypal password is the signature?

Maybe these systems send something out to a public blockchain, but you're still trusting them to honor withdrawals of your deposited funds in the same way you would with paypal, correct?

What is the actual use in practice of side channels and off chain systems these days?
> Lastly, the economics of movie theaters have created a feedback loop that results in "big tent pole" films like Disney / Transformers / Star Wars dominating the screens. Adults want serious drama like "House of Cards" -- which is available at home.

To be fair, some movies are big screen movies, and dramas don't tend to be. House of Cards wouldn't work nearly as well as a 2 hour movie, nor would I be willing to go somewhere to watch it.

On the other hand, watching movies like Dunkirk, Doctor Strange, or anything in 3D doesn't feel right at home.

Maybe it's just me, but it feels like the movies that tend to do well in theaters are the same ones in which the home experience would be lacking, unless you have a theater room. Meanwhile, no matter how much I might personally love a given TV show, 90% of the time, it's just not movie appropriate. Of course, I'd definitely pay to have select episodes of Game of Thrones shown on the big screen... YMMV.

> Suppress white supremecy from public discussion, and hope it dies out from loneliness in a few generations? Good luck with that.

Actually, ... yes. White supremacy used to be the norm. Slavery, lynch mobs, KKK, etc. all were considered normal. "To Kill a Mockingbird" was a book that talked about how normal such attitudes were (and still are in parts of the South)

White supremacy has been denormalized and it is dying says that continued denormalization does work.

In Durham, NC a confederate statue was pulled down. In the video, white people were seen abusing it. White people. That is what denormalization looks like.
I know the defaults have been changed to be safe, but I will forever feel like my trust was broken with MySQL the day I learned how bad the defaults are. Not just inefficent/generic, but actually bad.

Additionally, I feel that postgresql is better engineered, more featureful, and has support for a much larger variety of use-cases (e.g. hstore, json, postgis, pg-routing, uuids, trigram indecies, &c). So between engineering perks, and the loss of trust, I only use MySQL in legacy applications that I cannot port.

I'm not aware of ZFS letting you access corrupted files that easily, the Oracle manual [1] notes that files can only be recovered from backup or removed, not how to access a file that has been corrupted. So this does seem to imply that ZFS does indeed throw away data if it's corrupted.

Of course a user would rather know about corruption, but on the average user system with family pictures, you don't run into problems even after years to my experience. The photos function perfectly fine with minor corruption, which as noted above, does not work on ZFS since on ZFS it's either perfect or repairable or lost.

>I've explicitly said that snapshots HELPS with backups, not that they are backups.

You can do Snapshots on other FS' too, LVM and dattobd allow Snapshots of Blockdevices fairly easily. So I still don't see why that makes ZFS superior to ext4 when you can simply layer the solution underneath.

Also, btw, LVM has RAID1 and RAID6, both of which allow the user to detect data corruption on any filesystem, which IMO, is better than restricting to one filesystem. That way you can make an image of an old FAT16 device and be assured that it won't suddenly corrupt data.

Same goes for mdraid and snapraid, the later of which is a file-based solution and allows recovery of data beyond loosing all parity of an array plus additional drives. ZFS does to my knowledge not work well once you loose more than it tolerates.

Why choose ZFS when I can layer the solution together? Or rather, layer until a FS with a better underlying design comes around.

> The difference is that the President, qua office, is the leader of the society that these white supremacists hail from. For islam, he is an outsider.

The problem with Obama's argument isn't that it's wrong, it's that it's all too symmetrical. Trump was barely accepted by the Republicans -- he's from New York. He's the outsider.

And Democrats have been doing a motte and bailey thing with racism for years, where denouncing racism is the motte and redefining racism to mean anything they disagree with is the bailey.

https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Motte_and_bailey

So on one hand, anyone who e.g. believes there should be equality of opportunity but accepts that it may not lead to equality of outcomes, or doesn't support unlimited immigration, or voted for Trump, is labeled a white supremacist. On the other hand, everyone is required to overtly denounce white supremacists, even though we just got through telling anyone who voted for Trump that they are a white supremacist.

We're talking about Americans. Not other nations that cry about American imperialism out one side of their face, then demand protection, food and money out the other. If America ceased all humanitarian services and closed all military bases in other nations you would see unprecedented loss of life as we would be labeled an uncaring nation that let women and children starve.

You're right about the different police responses, though, as BLM was allowed to burn an entire city while the white people were kicked out of a park. Labeling all gatherings of white people as 'white supremacists' is disingenuous and racist in and of itself.

Beating delivery/take-out at home isn't really unreasonable, unless you live on top of the pizzeria or something. It loses a lot in the box, with a baking steel preheated under the broiler, your homemade and immediately eaten pie will probably be better.

I'd also say you can mitigate some of the temperature differential by making sure you have a pre-heated surface in the oven. An upturned (perforated or not) baking sheet in an as-hot-as-it-can-go oven for an hour or so makes a decently hot base for the crust.

It used to be basically impossible to get one, but that has changed recently with these fast track processes. However, each location has different rules and durations for the process and it's common for rules to change during application; or for the process to take years longer than the official length. Not to mention processes that "freeze" and there is no feedback on why it happened. All of which end up making the whole process extremely hard.
Moreover, the exact implications of getting PR are not clear in regards to rights, taxation, or other obligations.
It will probably take a non-trivial amount of time for things to stabilise and be clearer.

Not really. I drink coffee off and on throughout the day, too - but to be fair, I'm making each cup fresh and rarely drink two cups in a row.

Folks react really differently to caffeine. I've never been able to use it to fight against sleepyness, for example. I'm fine drinking it before bed, though I try to give 30 minutes afterwards just so I can pee. I miss drinking coffee if I quit, and tea is hardly a replacement if you are skipping caffeine. (My other beverage is water, and I don't vary often). My father, on the other hand, needed to stop caffeine after lunchtime to sleep well at night. My mother develops headaches, which might not be a problem if it weren't for migraines and cluster headaches. Oddly enough, sometimes the caffeine helps that bit.

Other folks get grouchy if they quit suddenly. A few get hungry, and some folks just feel generally bad.
I think adoption has been poor because the pace of work has been slow, even though it shouldn't be -- Trello shows lots to work on. The team isn't afraid to share their accomplishments and thoughts. But they haven't been taking on tasks by their own volition.
Current working professional and an OMSCS student here. It highly depends on the context. Biggest pros are:
1. This is perhaps the cheapest Computer Science masters in the United States from a premier school. The degree is exactly the same as offered to the residential program and the credits acquired are all legit and transferable to other universities. I had friends who transferred from OMSCS to a regular school and skipped one full semester due to the credits earned.
2. An OMSCS qualification holds way more water than if you do random MOOC qualifications on Coursera and others.
3. The coursework is the same as the residential program. So if you dont believe in studying an MS at all, then this program is nothing special. Its a Masters in Computer Science. So It's pros and cons are the same as a regular MS.
4. If you are international, then having an OMSCS degree is equivalent to having a Gatech MS degree. It is a superb add-on to your profile and also qualifies you as a graduate level tech specialist for future Visa processing.
5. If you are international and looking to stay and work in your own country, then your mileage may vary depending on your circumstances. OMSCS provides no visa support and no career counselling. It does have an online portal for jobs but its more geared towards residents.
6. Other than that, it forces you to think and study new areas of research while you work so its extremely enriching.
7. The program is more or less extremely well run with regular assignments, proctored exams, 1-1 sessions with professors and what not.
8. Some companies reimburse your tuition, so its virtually free (at least for me)

Cmon guys, a US Masters for 7000 USD? Are you kidding me? Its totally worth it. In fact I feel blessed that such a thing even exists. GaTech has been a trailblazer in this regards.
I like the idea of this model for open-seating theaters. What about the theaters with only a few big loungers and reserved seating? If you allowed people to schedule/reserve seats, they might not show up. Perhaps if you reserved seats and didn't show up, you'd get charged a penalty ( similar to all-you-can-eat sushi murimoto ).

> Sometimes I see engineers showing up to the standup and having to remember and plan on the go.

Standups are not "iceberg meetings." By having the team prepare for the standup all week you might be discussing things that have been organically solved, or that aren't pertinent to you or the rest of the team. If you care enough about something, you'll remember to bring it up during standup. If you take the old-school 2 hour Monday morning status meeting and call it a standup then you aren't doing standups.

If you need that thorough 2 hour status meeting, abandon agile. Don't put your engineers through the hell of reporting to two status update workflows.

My advice: Look for help with your resume. Polish it up. Don't lie, but word things the way you need to word them to get your resume looked at. Also, look at smaller companies and less tech-oriented cities, if you're not already.
