Oh jeez get over it will ya? Life life life. How living-centric of you. Check your alive privilege.

OK I'm joking about that part, but surely there must be a few good reasons to explore space besides whatever it has to do with life and the support thereof? Is an ocean of liquid methane not interesting in its own right?

I genuinely wonder whether people who write like this are going to be totally disappointed and give up space exploration if they find there's no life out there. Which (let's be honest) is what they will probably find. Or is it more that they're trying to pander to the reader because they think that's all we care about?
They may have been thinking about the transaction code. Every purchase generates a unique one-time transaction code for that vendor for a specific amount. That along with the Device Account Number is transmitted to the payment processor for the purchase.
I wonder if the results for "I don't use Rust because..." would change if the answer "It would slow development down too much", or something along the same lines, would be there. At least that's my personal reason. I like Rust and I've played around with it, but it's just not the right tool for the job if you need Python-style rapid development.
No thank you, I don't subscribe to that whatsoever.
I think what msla is saying is that people who are at or below the threshold for taxation would contribute nothing to taxes, which would be unfair in theory because they consume public goods and services like the rest of us.

Coming from someone who lives in their own imagination most of the time, I feel a bit of pity for you; yet at the same time I am extremely jealous of your ability to reason with reality.

For an anti-aphantasiac, the obsession was mostly short-lived in the beginning stages of puberty. There's still plenty to do and obsess about as a pubescent child. My run-ins and conversations with teenage boys and girls are still quite normal, considering they have such an immense resource to gather these tidbits from - they conduct themselves quite normally and with poise. Perhaps there's a line drawn at obsessing for hours over something similar to the topic in question, but as far as I know the majority of partakers use it for what it is - and move on, similar to pre-internet sources.

Regarding children, you may have a good point, but consider when you think is a good time to start talking; because in my experience the kids already know well enough about the topic through word-of-mouth, even before puberty starts to take hold of hormones.

HDPE and PTFE (teflon) both have very interesting self-lubricating qualities; their surfaces act almost like they are somewhat liquid, not unlike ice. They're not nearly as good as SLIPS but they have similar properties. I don't know if it's true but the way I've heard it explained is that PTFE and HDPE are so long-chained that loose molecule ends act kind of like hairs on the surface. The hairs can slip over each other very easily, so they act somewhat like a liquid.

But in reality HDPE is specifically used to grow mussels on: http://www.plasticsnewseurope.com/article/20131011/PNE/31011...

There are dangerous things that you can allow Docker to do. But if you don't do those things, it is pretty difficult to break out of a container.

Redhat has been especially good here, with not allowing anyone but host-root to connect to Docker and using SELinux and seccomp filtering. With those working, it doesn't matter if your container mounts a host filesystem since it won't have the correct SELinux roles and types anyway.

Many people claim that ruins Docker, since now you can't use Docker from within Docker. But that's the price you pay for security.

I believe that with the correct precautions, a Linux container is just as safe as a jail or zone. Perhaps the problem is just how easy it is for a sysadmin to put holes into the containers that ruin the security.

My sense of things is that yes, everyone lies to some extent. I don't believe someone who says they don't.

The question is really what magnitude of lying are you talking about?

The way I think about it is something like this: what ethical obligation do you have to be truthful? I usually assume that the obligation is to be truthful, but recognize there are some scenarios where the situation or other person's request of information from you is unethical, and so in those situation I feel under no obligation to reciprocate.

My in-laws, for example, routinely inquire about my spouse and me in ways that are inappropriate and cross boundaries. To me, we should not be in the position of having to refuse to give that information; I have tried, but they ignore that, and escalate things. So now I lie, and feel no guilt because to me they violated basic social contract to begin with.

That's an extreme example, but I think it extends to other more mild situations as well. I think there's some situations where the likely consequence of telling the truth or refusing to give that information is unfair or unreasonable, so I see lying as ethical.

I guess I see the assumption that you should always tell the truth as being based on an assumption, in turn, that the elicitation of information itself is being done in good faith. I don't see that assumption as necessarily true.
I support deep cuts in public education funding to fund vouchers for school choice. I'm a left-leaning nerd, and my own personal experiences with public schools as a student and then as a parent have lead me to the conclusion that public schools are dealing with the same issues that General Motors dealt with in the 80's and 90's when trying to reform into a Lean production model:

They unionized while engaging in a model that worked for their respective time periods, and the unions interests don't allow for massive structural changes. Public schools worked very well when intelligent, educated women had almost zero career options other than teaching. They established pay structures that reward length of tenure over any other measures.

An immediate red flag for any institution is a persecution of innovators. This is a common occurrence in public school systems.

I grew up in a poor, rural public school system. Co-workers of mine who are 10 years older learned to program in the public schools they attended in wealthy suburbs. My schools were too busy focusing on teaching the 90% of students who they knew weren't going to college how to work on cars to worry about paying for a computer lab.

Had we had vouchers available to us, we would have done what we had begged the school board to do: create a small computer lab for the handful of students who were decent at math, and then pay the fee for the satellite TV learning program used by other rural schools. But no, they were driven by political demands to instead fund bullshit like trips for the chorus class to competitions.

I finally lost patience with the public schools my son attended last year, and put him in private school. The public school system here had decided that teaching cursive writing was not important, and completely removed it from the curriculum. As a result, my son had to learn cursive in 6th grade at his private school. He learned it in a few weeks of practice at home and while doing his normal course work. Ask yourself what kind of institution decides that cursive is no longer necessary and ensures that the kids won't be able to write a signature when they graduate? I think they did it because choosing to no longer teach something is a quick win.

Additionally, my son's coursework is much, much harder than it was previously. He's actually challenged by his classes now. I was lucky enough to have money to choose his school. His classmates weren't.
Previously I had a Thinkpad T60p as laptop, when tickless Linux kernels (iirc 2.6.21) and powertop were all new.

I made a ultra-idle setup which generated only 10-20 interrupts per second. That was, until you even dared to touch the synaptics touchpad, then it shot up to ~500 rendering all the other efforts useless.
The focus on the drive to school is too specific to be durable across time. My parents must have been fairly bad given they neither drove me to school nor provided a bus/taxi/limo/my own car. I walked to school from age 5 on (i.e. 1964 and later). Of course it would have been a hassle for one of them to drive me from the dorms to my classes, so we're cool on those last years when I was in college.
Go to the symphony. Ideally, go with a friend who enjoys classical music.

Also, spend some time trying different classical music from different periods / parts of the world. You might find you prefer Steve Reich (Music For 18 Musicians) more than you like Bach (Well-Tempered Clavier) or Shostakovich (10th Symphony) more than you like Schoenberg (... good luck).

Spend some time finding a favourite composer. Start with a composer you like, and then try other composers who were alive in the same time and place.

Also, beware of orchestral renditions of pop music. Some of it is good (Alarm Will Sound's album of Aphex Twin), but most of it is awful (Vitamin quartet).

Hope that helps.
These are good points, but I think you may be falling into the Nirvana Fallacy.

These problems will still exist for any power source (planned outages and following demand). Nuclear is no worse than wind power at these things, so why does it matter that it doesn't perfectly solve these issues as well?

When there's a planned outage, you can schedule other sources to scale up as needed. Following demand is hard no matter where the power comes from, but for wind it's even harder as you can control neither supply nor demand.

There's no ultimate, perfect solution. But I see Nuclear as a good option to be the major strength of our power systems.

Best Microsoft .NET books list
I really wish I could look at the books for this place.

I get the no-tipping thing, and how the prices have to change based on that. The higher wages will go down to the servers (and probably other non-tip based staff too), and that's good. I wonder if servers were getting paid higher or lower on the new system? Were there more or less customers (probably less, since they stopped doing it), and how did they feel about the price increases?

Also, I wonder how much of the income of tips is in cash and off the books. Not getting taxed on a part of your income can really make a big difference. Yes, I know it's probably illegal to not report the tips, but I imagine it's something that happens all the time, especially with cash tips.
Jathena: An Open Source Amazon Athena
Yeah, the article spends a bunch of verbiage handwringing about standards at community colleges, which is not representative of higher education generally. Honestly, we do have a huge trade school system in the US, certainly not enough to handle all of the lower skilled people who 'should' be in them; community college is the closest large scale analog to a trade school system is the US. (And, arguably, we want or woodworkers to understand basic algebra, too, if we don't want or couches breaking...)
There was a GitHub issue that I recently saw where there was some bike shedding about rustfmt changing the option name "bad-syntax" (or something like that) to something less "judgemental". The reasoning being that you may have a particular coding style that differs from what rustfmt thinks is correct, and is thus "bad" (with bad being defined as giving bad input into a program). I'll try to hunt down the exact URL for the issue...

While the example isn't within official documentation, it does demonstrate the lead Rust devs placing a lot of importance on social politics, and tip-toeing around such politically sensitive topics as coding style.

Again, as the OP stated, nothing in how the Rust development community handles itself can be stated as bad. They go out of their way to be inclusive to everyone, and I think that's admirable. The way they go about it, at least from the example I found, is a bit tacky. There are more important things to bikeshed about than the name of a simple option, and in doing so it can come across as a bit tacky. But what do I know, perhaps I'm the real problem here!
Ubuntu ships ZFS with their kernels. While this isn't an explicit thing, it strongly implies that Canonical doesn't have full confidence in btrfs.

As others have stated, Red Hat explicitly pulled engineering resources off btrfs.

ZFS just blows btrfs out of the water, there is really no comparison. As painful as it is to say, after all these years, btrfs still really feels like a rough draft of a modern filesystem.

That's no insult to the people who've done amazing work on btrfs over the years, it's just calling a spade a spade. Something was just missing in its development; maybe it was vision, cohesion, whatever it was at an organizational level, something stopped btrfs from really coming together as a first-class enterprise-ready FS. We should recognize that and let it go, as Canonical and Red Hat have gradually been doing.
Let's turn this on its head:

The corporation has no inherent right to protection. It has no inherent right to exist as a legal entity.

For most of human history they have not been a thing. They were created by society by law as a means to an end, and in doing so we gave corporations a bunch of rights that restrict our rights, by allowing corporations to e.g. continue to hold on to legal rights pasts the death of the person running it for example, and giving them special tax treatment.

As such, these corporations exists at our leisure. It's up to us to set the terms, as If you don't like those terms you're free to not set up a corporation, and instead rely on e.g. doing business as a sole trader and see how much fun that is.

The entitlement when people think that a corporation should be free to treat people however they like is astounding - society made them possible and created them, and we can shut them down if we deem they don't benefit society sufficiently.

So when society says there is an expectation of privacy of communication at work: Tough. It's our right to determine the rules for what a corporation must accept in order to be allowed to exist.

(and yes, we can go to far an mess up our economies in the process, so that we can do it does not mean that we always should do it, but in this case I fully agree with the court)
it introduces an awful lot of negativity.

> I lean conservative/libertarian on social issues,

Aren't they opposites?

> For a long time, I complained that the US couldn't afford such a thing, but we've been running a huge deficit for decades, and no one seems to care,

One mistake that people make is believing that no deficit is a good thing. Running a deficit is like borrowing to fund college.

Another is that money is worth something. If as a generation all the wealth was owned by rich retired unproductive people, but the only way that food is generated is from poor working people, the elderly are screwed. Savings are not value, they are a hope that the future generations as a whole will be kind enough to work for old people based only on how much old people did when they were productive.

If future generations decide they will not pay any attention to old people's money, what happens then? What do I care that in 1960 you worked 60 hour weeks saving $500,000 in assets. Why shouldn't my generation decide "lets reduce the value of the dollar to 10% of it's current value, and lets put a massive tax on assets to redistribute to working people (say swapping income tax for an asset tax). That way I only owe rich people 1 year's salary in debt, not 10, my wage would simply have a zero added to the end (as would prices). The tax relief would mean a real wage increase too.

I don't understand, isn't polling orthogonal to a memory leak? How would fixing one fix the other?
My guess is that most of API is generally there, but the issues i mentioned elsewhere in this post with the region stuff cause the glitches. This looks like a simple thing to fix (i've implemented regions at the past in an experimental winsys i was writing on Linux [0] so i have a general idea of how they work) for someone with knowledge about ReactOS' graphics stack, so i suppose there are reasons it hasn't been fixed yet (maybe it relies on driver support and they plan to change the driver model? Just an assumption).

Comparing containers (a concept) with VM/jails/zones is a non-sequitur. To quote:

A “container” is just a term people use to describe a combination of Linux namespaces and cgroups. Linux namespaces and cgroups ARE first class objects. NOT containers.

[...]

VMs, Jails, and Zones are if you bought the legos already put together AND glued. So it’s basically the Death Star and you don’t have to do any work you get it pre-assembled out of the box. You can’t even take it apart.

Containers come with just the pieces so while the box says to build the Death Star, you are not tied to that. You can build two boats connected by a flipping ocean and no one is going to stop you.

Docker is a bunch of boxes floating on a flipping ocean[1]. They could have made a deathstar, but they chose not to.

I'm not seeing good responses from libertarians regarding the inbalance in how law is practiced; would appreciate pointers to write ups of more effective libertarian-style remedies. That is, corporations with concentrations of power are treated by libertarians as possessing equal standing with individuals in a court of law. In practice, that is absolutely not how it works out. Yet, many a libertarian response to various problem spaces is "the courts will work it out!", in a deus ex machina style conclusion. Spend any appreciable time (>= 10 years) running a business, and you'll probably observe the same: I've yet to meet a business owner who subscribes to the "equal under law" libertarian ideal, everyone I've spoken with agrees that larger concentrations of wealth and power commensurately enjoy greater access and privileges in the court systems around the world that are unobtanium for smaller entities. I've heard the libertarian response of "we're just not capitalist enough" applied to this problem domain; look to US-style private arbitration to see how that's turning out. I've never been a fan of the "no true Scotsman" approach, anyways. Any libertarian-oriented remedies that realistically acknowledge how humans practice acquiring and deploying power of various forms would be appreciated.
Perhaps 'The Design of Everyday Things' by Donald Norman?
Redefining a thing to do a different thing to achieve the same result. You'll see it a lot in older systems where you have a billion deprecated functions, and instead of changing each instance to use the new version, you trick the system by appropriating the old version to point to custom code that runs the new version and passes back whatever the old version is expected to return.
Didn't downvote; I honestly don't see much wrong with what you said. But we're talking about hot topics here like parenting, so I guess I get it.

This is a huge takeaway and something that should be bolded.
I think it's still a big experiment and there's a lot to figure out around the right state machines and the right models for computation in these systems. We hope that Cosmos and Tendermint help that experiment along

Banks reorder transactions to create overdrafts. This includes delaying deposits and processing payments highest to lowest. This can cascade into multiple "overdraft protection" fees from payments that happen days after a direct deposit.
>I wonder if conservatives could use their own experiences to develop some much needed empathy for minorities and women in STEM

How so? All the things cited as barriers to minorities/women in tech (underrepresentation, lack of depiction in the media, etc.) are doubly true for conservatives, yet conservatives don't consider them to be barriers.

Not seeing conservative programmers depicted in movies seems like a hilariously trivial non-issue to me, so to hear minorities/women describe the same as "systemic violence" comes across as hysteria at best, and deceptive self-promotion at worst.
