Nice article! Though I do think the article could have more clearly noted that Linux containers are not meant as security boundaries. It doesn't explicitly say it but it is a very important distinction.

Unlike FreeBSD jails and Solaris Zones. You can't run multiple docker tennant's safely on the same hardware. Docker is basically the equivalent of a sign which says: "don't walk on the grass" as opposed to an actual wall which FreeBSD jails and Solaris zones have. Now if you have a very homogene environment (say you are deploying hundreds of instances of the exact same app) then this is probably fine. Docker is primarily a deployment tool. If your an organization which runs all kinds of applications (with varying levels of security quality) that's an entirely different story.
I would argue that Apple's core competency isn't hardware but the Apple "experience". In the same way that Google uses search to sell ads, Apple uses the hardware it sells to sell everything that goes with it: music, iCloud, software, accessories, etc.

I didn't get the feeling that was the Sun business model, but I didn't follow it super closely.
I have to say that I'm a little confused about the point of this article.

In my experience, the people who make the type of argument she describes tend to advocate hard work, education and financial prudence. In fact the sort of attributes that the author exhibited to remove herself from poverty. If anything she's a good advert for the kind of advice that tends to be foisted on people in poverty.

My pet theory is that the key issue is really about time horizon. If you live your life day to day then you're much more likely to be poor in the long term than if you have a time horizon of years or decades. This time horizon is largely culturally determined i.e. if your parents/peer group didn't think about the future then you are less likely to. But it can be substantially affected by personal characteristics e.g. the dissolute rich kid as well as illness e.g. depression.

Interestingly, I came to this conclusion because of a conversation with someone at the other end of the time horizon spectrum. I was chatting to a member of an English aristocratic family about farm husbandry (a subject about which I know absolutely nothing). It occurred to me that he made decisions that had a time horizon of a century or more. Something completely alien to my way of thinking but entirely natural to him.

I realised that my time horizon, which has always been oto 20-30 years, was just a point on a spectrum. Probably typical of a child of professional parents but not special in any way. And if you have a substantially different horizon than me then you're very likely to make substantially different life decisions than me.
> This suggests that it would help to have better getting-started guides for vim, and for using it with RLS in particular.

Oh man yeah I'm using vim to play around with Rust, would like to see a tutorial in term of usage of the plugins. Like a tutorial with vim and the guess number example would be nice while using the vim plugins. Idea whatever and VScode is meh. VScode is on the cloud iirc meeeeh.
My brief interpretation of the data: The more opportunities to switch and to cheat the higher the divorce rate (eg bartender, stewardess, dancer). And the lower the salary the higher the divorce rate (guess the financial pressure creates extra tension).
The bifurcation in the legal category is fascinating (4 data points).

I'm guessing that the higher two are "lawyers" and the lower two are the roles with better work life balance that attract lower ego, more balanced personalities like paralegals.

Your argument is what exactly?

The fact that something that leads to gathering of personal information has been done in the past automatically means it's okay to do it in the future?

If that is your argument then you are the one who needs informing.
I know someone who has written two hugo-nominated sci-fi novels, but otherwise lives a typical 9-to-5 work life. I finally asked how he gets his writing done and learned that he wakes up at 5am each day. According to him, "the first thing you do every day is the most important thing".
And if a person is even capable of holding a job they need supports through waivers to do the work and keep the job let alone get to their job. These waivers have unreasonably long waiting lists (10-20 years in a number of states). Plus this is assuming there is a company willing to give a job to a person w an IQ of say 60 who needs a personal assistant to perform his/her job and keep that person on task.
>>Well, it is "just a game"... an innovative, highly creative game with some really interesting features.

My understanding is that the developer either outright lied about the features pre-release, or they strongly hinted at them and misled people, or a mix of two.

I feel like that mindset is still there, but the goal posts have just moved. As you point out, in Vista and 7 the "takes too long" was often just a few seconds (the reported goal in Vista was listed in milliseconds). 8/10 continue to tune that based on telemetrics and user decisions in aggregate on one side and developer/application opt-in to more aggressive app shutdowns on the other side. That app is taking too long to shutdown screen still occurs in 8/10; it's just slower to appear and more likely to only appear in cases where an application has truly stalled out.

"Founder Vivaldi showed Wired journalists copies of the letters he had received from Google. They demanded that Vivaldi add links to the EULA (user license agreement) “within each button to download the program.” This is a rather strange requirement, writes von Techner, considering that Google itself does not always comply with it ."

This is too much, Google.

Step 3 is where most businesses fail.
Fujitsu was interested, US threatened to block any foreign sale. IBM was interested, a loud mouth blocked negotiations and pushed his golf buddy instead..

Sun made some strange moves toward the end, but there absolutely could have been a product line left if the developer market felt neutral about the buyer and the buyer tried to focus on upsells and professional services. The way Oracle tried to sneak this EOL in is very much evidence of there still being support licenses and professional services money for a few years more.

But it was worth it if the Sun curse took down Ellison. May your foot never leave your mouth again, cloud boy. Now go play golf with network's owner.
> > Why should an employee have the right to store sensitive personal data on my computer.

> Because your employees are human beings and not machines. They have a life, they have needs, etc.

They are free to satisfy those needs when not at work. We already have things like lunch breaks and rest break; surely we could have communications breaks were it that important.

> When you give an employee a computer, it is the company property but it's the employee's computer.

Which is nonsense. I cannot comprehend the sort of mindset which believes that an employee must (not may: must) be permitted to use his employer's equipment for personal ends. Must a machinist be permitted to make gears for his car at the factory? Must a soldier be permitted to take his mortar home? Must a racecar driver be permitted to borrow his car for groceries?

I think it's eminently fine from a business perspective to permit incidental use of equipment (although even incidental use of IT resources does expose the firm to malware vectors it would otherwise not encounter). I can even understand others who choose to take advantage of their employers' personal-use permissions. But I personally would never be comfortable doing anything personal on a system I myself don't control.

Among other things, that's why I don't want a laptop running Windows 10 or macOS.
You dont have to be so skeptical just because the premise is not PC.

Edit: you people act like this isn't the reason he was so shocked. We will not solve society's problems if we do not allow ourselves to look at all possible causes. Science and taboo do not mix.
...this is a wonderful example of upperclass blindness.

Here's the thing..it worked for you because in your social class and specific area in life, it is more likely than not any roommates you found would be responsible students. But if you are poor, you are risking getting into a legal contract with someone who could turn out to have an abusive boyfriend, who managed to hide his drug use or alcholism from people, who is dealing with serious mental depression, who can't stay in a job more than three weeks and sponges off his roommates, etc.

The rather nasty side to Jesus's parable about the talents is that the rich people got even richer, while the poor man who was frightened lost all that he had. Many solutions people give rely on the person possessing wealth in that sense; if just the social wealth of everyone coming from stable families, with more or less no serious addictions or issues. but if not, many of those solutions get even worse and lead to worse ruin.
After helping my 4 year old build dozens of kits over the past year or two I've noticed many patterns of use with those 'specialized' pieces. They're absolutely reusable, to the degree that by looking at a box I can pretty much know that it's going to have a couple of [whatever] because it has arm or leg joints, a turret, etc.

What I have seen is that the parts that come with typical kits are WAY more advanced than the race cars, castles and pirate ships I used to have. I'd say a good percentage of the bricks used to be bricks I'd only see in the advanced Technic kits from back in my day.

I will say though that I went and bought a bucket of generic bricks because a lot of the bricks that come with the standard kits today aren't super awesome for a four year old that wants to build simple buildings and stuff like that.
"Probably the biggest lever a government has on their nation is monetary policy. There is no way that a government would allow the subversion of that."

This is a simplistic and wrong analysis. Governments care about the health of their economy, and as you said monetary policy is just one of many levers to influence that. Thus, if the cryptocurrency industry can help increase their economic wealth, they will not only allow it, but encourage the development of this industry and technologies. Case in point: various laws enacted or projects created by governments encourage blockchain/cryptocurrencies innovation & use:

"So [China] went ahead and did what I have been suggesting would happen, but much earlier than I suspected."

No. Your point would have been demonstrated if China had banned cryptocurrencies. However this is precisely what they did NOT do. They only banned ICOs. The Chinese government cares enormously about stability and public order. They saw plenty of ICO scams and unregulated markets causing people to lose fortunes—not good for stability and order—so they banned ICOs. China actually covets their position as a leader in Bitcoin and altcoins mining, so they are protecting their economic advantage by NOT banning cryptocurrencies. (Proving my point above.)

"Blockchain is a perfect solution for many things, but as a currency it's dead on arrival IMO."

Exactly the opposite. Currency, and store of value (went up 7×/19×/35× over last 12/24/48 months) are the 2 killer use cases for Bitcoin.
You are an awful, stupid, hateful human being.
"The problem is that there aren't many other options.

At some point, you have to put food on the table."

Is BTRFS really an option now that RedHat has decided to pull the plug on their BTRFS development? That basically leaves Oracle and Suse I think? As far as I can tell the future of BTRFS doesn't look good.

Facebook using it doesn't mean anything since they are probably using it for distributed applications. Meaning the entire box (including BTRFS) can just die and the cluster won't be impacted. I really can't imagine they are using BTRFS on every node in their cluster.
Yeah, the claim the Industrial Revolution did not lead to major social upheaval... I don't know how anyone with any knowledge of history could say such a thing. My knowledge of history is pretty spotty, and fairly focused on only certain aspects of society, but even in that narrow focus the Industrial Revolution was of gigantic import.

Before the Industrial Revolution, families lived, slept, and screwed, in common rooms. Homes didn't have bedrooms except for the aristocracy. Sex was a part of life like eating, something ever-present. When kids hit adolescence, they became apprentices (if not working on their families farm directly) and were paid a wage high enough that they could raise any children they sired.

Everything changed with factories. Factory owners didn't want to pay adolescent workers enough to feed a family on. Society said "the machines are doing the real work" so wouldn't defend them. In stepped religion and secular medical 'science' of the time. As more and more urban families of factory workers were literally starving or having to abandon babies and the like, something had to be done. So they decided to try to kill sex.

The religious authorities got together and started preaching about the evils of peoples 'animal urges'. They completely re-wrote their interpretation of the story of Onan to be a man punished for disobeying god to a man punished for 'spilling the seed'. Whereas previously only saints were even though capable of actual sexual abstinence, it was stressed as not just possible but important to the public for the first time.

The secular medical community concurred and assisted. They reported that masturbation would drive you insane and eventually kill you. They advocated for giving children separate bedrooms so that the facts of human biology could be hidden from them. They recommended extreme corporal punishment for any children given to curiosities about 'sensual matters' (this extended to things like liking candy and whatnot - children of the day were viewed as basically barely trainable animals, slaves to their animal urges that could only be civilized through adequate beatings). Families often traded their children to other families - because they were afraid they would not be able to beat their own children savagely enough.

We still carry all of these ideas with us today. We still find sexual matters difficult to talk about, view it as an annoyance to be minimized, hidden, or eliminated from life. The Industrial Revolution gave us this.

What will we lose for the automation revolution?

I already see society saying McDonalds workers and others require no reasonable pay because 'the machines make the work easy'. The New Deal remedied a lot of that kind of social problem 100 years ago, but today any HINT of that kind of policy would be decried as socialist and never even discussed. I fully expect a return to 16 hour days 6 days a week with the entire family working while barely earning enough to feed themselves. We are well on our way to it. And people have done it before, they will do it again. Only thing time, the prior remedies won't even be discussed, much less attempted.

Perhaps, but realistic scenes are bounded by the number of lights and triangles more than resolution. There are heuristics and approximations to get around this, but I think we will only be able to fake a subset of the human visual experience. Lots of smooth surfaces and simple lighting setups: think car shows and apartment renders, not nature.

Realism can be extremely complex!

I followed the game for years before buying it on launch and being completely and utterly disappointed. Every single time they spoke about the game and showed videos, they promised a fleshed out universe with real consequences for your actions. They promised factions that had goals and would act independent of you. They promised a deep system of crafting. They promised multiplayer. What they didn't mention was that they had scrapped all those ideas a long time before and had turned the game into a grind-fest while they tried to hack things in there. The play-throughs they showed were hand-made areas with automated entities, but they never mentioned that. There was a promise of multiplayer, but it never happened. And probably worst of all, they never mentioned that it wasn't truly open-world, it was all essentially "levels" with little freedom to fly around and explore. They never mentioned that it turned into an almost on-rails flying game when you got close to the surface. You couldn't crash, you couldn't maneuver, you couldn't land on your own. Flying around was made even worse because you run out of fuel every few minutes because of the forced autopilot landings/takeoffs. That's not open world, that's a half-assed game with training wheels permanently glued on.

The whole "Not Evil, Just Bungling" that the author says simply isn't the case. But I'm not saying they're evil. They definitely wanted to make the game they were promising. They had a passion for it. But they knew well ahead of time that it wasn't happening and they kept up the charade.

I'm not disappointed about losing out on my money, I'm disappointed that I lost out on the game they promised.
Pass the money between shell companies via "outsourcing." That makes a lot of sense.
> Inexperience plus overpromising and really high expectations created the current situation.

And yet I'm surprised how, again and again, gamers fall for it. You should always reserve your top-shelf skepticism for not-yet-shipped-games.

Modernizing Force: How we keep the artsy web stack up-to-date
Yes, this is exactly how we do it: Our build systems all run stable, but developers use nightly for RLS and clippy.

We did have one developer who was excited about using Rocket (which he said was much better than the other Rust web frameworks he had tried), but we decided that the grief of building production code on unstable wasn't worth it.

(We're also holding off on directly using futures in any major way until the developer ergonomics and especially error messages get better.)
Your analogy is wrong. It's more like it's raining outside. Since you grew up poor it's also raining inside your house. This caused your food in the cupboard to rot and mold and means that your computer doesn't work because your power went out. Now sure if your parents had fixed the roof instead of buying groceries the food wouldn't have molded, but you'd still be hungry. You're forced to take on debt because the local area doesn't have any nighttime work. Then Dad gets sick. Since they didn't have the money to have mom and Dad both work, Mom doesn't have the skills needed to have a job that could provide and keep the house going, so now you've got to hold a job, keep your grades up, and try and pay Dad's medical bills.

How is any of this your fault? You're still never going to get out of debt. The American system is rigged so that you can make all the right moves and still lose. That's the problem with the system. Not that it's unfair, or that someone doesn't have the same opportunities.

I'm a perfect example of someone who came from nothing and has worked myself into wealth (or at least into a life where I'm not struggling). I made most of the right choices, but it still required immense amounts of luck and hard work. All the hard work does is set you up to be able to take advantage of the hard work.

If we really want to solve the problem of poverty without disincentivizing or punishing hard work it will require that it's easier to climb financial classes. What we have in place now only benefits those at the top and essentially pulls all the ladders up from the bottom. Our system is broken and there isn't a simple solution. It requires community reinvestment, appropriately funded community initiatives, and excellent leadership both at the state and federal levels.
>>Open world games are notoriously disappointing.

You should play Witcher 3. It's an open-world game that gives you tremendous freedom in a very large, detailed world while also driving you forward with a long, well-written story.

It definitely became the gold standard for open-world games for me. Easily the best game I've played in over a decade.
Any idea how long this coating would last on a ship's hull?
Those things are not at all alike. Bartending means accidental social interaction; using an online dating site is deliberate. If you're in a relationship and using an online dating site, the relationship is probably already deeply on the rocks. If you're a bartender, you're more likely to accidentally meet someone you click with without even trying, which might imperil a relationship that's doing pretty well.
4. All actions are strategies to meet basic human needs. Look for the needs behind the actions. This will bring effortless understanding and compassion.

Focus on the needs and look for multiple strategies to meet them, thus staying open and flexible in the implementation.
Please do. I often advocate for BSD when it fits the need but I get pushback due to its lack of popularity. If all Solaris users migrated solely to Linux my position becomes weaker. :( and BSD is very good at quite a number of things.
