> Apple is evil if you care about open hardware

This seems like a really weird stretch, included to justify the narrative of the "big 5" being evil. Apple not caring about open hardware isn't evil. That's kind of like saying Starbucks is evil because they don't care about non-coffee-based energy drinks.

> Microsoft is too stupid to be evil but might at some point become evil again

This is less of a stretch, but still pretty weak.

I didn't mean the whole night. But a good solid 30 minutes of spending time like this together before their bed time (they were no older than 8) helped them unwind before bed from a fun day of doing schoolwork and playing outside and climbing trees and riding bikes and stuff. EDIT: also this was when I had a 3 hour roundtrip commute to Chicago and got home at 7pm every night, so I didn't get to see them. It was a good way to have us all spend time together every night relaxing and having opportunities to talk about our days and stuff.
It's just sad to watch this. the fact that the whole root zone etc. is just built right into every part of the os is amazing. And yet you have a bunch of companies just stroking their egos. I looked at the illumos-gate and smartos contributors as brendan suggested and there isn't much.

I wonder if adding a proper wifi stack and commodity hardware supported would have helped. Maybe it's just wishful thinking but I thought it would have been nice for cheap routers and home nas.

The fact that there is so little documentation also probably didn't help it

> > I lean conservative/libertarian on social issues,

> Aren't they opposites?

Not OP, but not necessarily. Basically, Libertarians strongly support civil liberties in many forms. That can mean supporting drug legalization (liberal) and also gun rights (conservative). It can also mean supporting an individual's right to discriminate in private business transactions (men's or all-white golf clubs, hetero-only bakeries) which would likely be viewed as a really conservative social stance.

Many Libertarians also strongly support States' Rights, which tend to lean conservative.
>> I lean conservative/libertarian on social issues,

It's sad that everything about American politics casts every issue in black and white, either/or, polar-opposites mentality, and must be labelled. I was just trying to "get on paper" for context with my post.

> Running a deficit is like borrowing to fund college.

That may have been the most unfortunate example you could have used, since so many people are not seeing the value of their education in the marketplace pay off that investment in a reasonable period. Regardless, I understand what you're saying, but if you're trying to tell me that the deficit that the US federal government consistently runs is a planned, strategic effort, I'm not buying it. ;-)
It's referring to the velocity dispersion of the cloud. If you imagine the cloud is rotating about a central axis, the parts of the cloud spinning toward us will have a higher relative velocity than those spinning away. The spread of these velocities is the velocity dispersion.
A broad velocity width then indicates that parts of the cloud are moving rapidly compared to others, as one might observe if the cloud was being accreted by a black hole - the material closest the black hole would be travelling much faster than that at the edge of the cloud.

>during the 30 days before the declaration of the state of emergency //

How's that work. So if you hiked your prices and there's no state of emergency declared it's fine but if the state of emergency is declared 4 weeks later you're acting illegally? Seems like an unworkable regulation.

Can you just give people a discount whilst there's no hurricane and remove the discount when you wish; same effect, just legally differentiable??

I'm reading that as quite the opposite: they're saying that Gluster, a networked file storage system, is being backed with btrfs as the local filesystem, so all data stored in Gluster is ultimately stored on btrfs volumes. (They're also using it for OS snapshotting, yes, but insofar as the data stored in Gluster is important, they're storing important data on btrfs.)

See also https://code.facebook.com/posts/938078729581886/improving-th...

"We have been working toward deploying Btrfs slowly throughout the fleet, and we have been using large gluster storage clusters to help stabilize Btrfs. The gluster workloads are extremely demanding, and this half we gained a lot more confidence running Btrfs in production. More than 50 changes went into the stabilization effort, and Btrfs was able to protect production data from hardware bugs other filesystems would have missed."
That sentence fragment you cite leaves out that this is the view of "economists," not the author's. This claim is addressed and rebutted further down the page.

The requirement of a nightly compiler for many of my projects has been my biggest problem with Rust for both surveys so far. I recently made an issue for my largest Rust project, Ruma, that enumerates all the things we're waiting on from the nightly compiler, as well as other library/ecosystem maturity issues. Just in case anyone is curious what some specific problems are for a real project: https://github.com/ruma/ruma/issues/189

Lifetime experience with psychedelics predicts pro-environmental behavior
Not sure why you're getting downvoted -- it's a perfectly reasonable question.

The two biggest reasons are: people like security and intimacy; and they want to raise a family with someone.

You can argue that you don't need marriage for those things, and technically you don't, but whatever alternative you land on (especially for raising a family) will likely be effectively identical to marriage in practice. You can opt out of family and long-term relationships altogether, but you'll be missing out on a central part of the human experience.

If the "early termination fees" are your biggest concern, find someone with similar views and get a prenup. Or just stay together without officially getting married. You'll lose tax benefits, but if it's important to you go for it.

If that didn't answer the question you intended to ask, you'll need to clarify what you meant by a more modern approach. What are you imagining that looks like?
I am incredibly excited about such missions and love reading/following them but really, why "should" we explore space?

Edit: Let me clarify why I ask this, I had once seen some documentary where a marine biologist makes a point something to the effect of - we understand less about our deep oceans than space, but there is a huge delta in our research spending on each. So, why are certain fields more important for research than others, in short, why space?
Modern economy theory is laughable when looked from a historical perspective. All modern economic theories look at society as in stable equilibrium, since they believe that prices tend to equilibrium by nature. Of course you just need to look at history to verify that such equilibrium is nothing more than momentary, the big economic changes really happening as the result of unexpected disruption, like world wars, "unpredictable" banking collapses, etc.
Yes there is. Humans are normally not very responsive to the time between when an action is started and when it is carried out on the screen, but this changes for actions like drawing and dragging. This is the reason for the new Pro Motion behavior on the recently released iPad Pro models. For more information, this video [1] is a good place to start.

Some other reasons why B2B sites are incomprehensible, along with “get them on the phone at all costs”:

- What you do is totally opaque and requires a massive amount of context to explain. Yes, it’s 5 sentences, but only after both you and the user are in the same context trying to solve the same problem. Try to explain a randomly-selected B2B company’s model to your grandma. Impossible. Instead let’s focus on company branding and positive sounding platitudes.

- Once you’re selling to businesses, you’re selling to VPs and C-level executives. They don’t care about the problem you solve. You're solving some lower-level employee’s problem, or a systemic problem nobody experiences directly. Since the buyer (the VP) isn’t feeling any of the pain, the only way to justify the purchase is to focus exclusively on the high-level benefits of your service. They’re in charge of marketing. promise them perfect marketing. They’re in sales. Promise them better sales. Focus on the outcomes, not the “how”, at all costs.

- A lesser factor might be that companies love to align workers with an affirmation that the work these employees do 40+ hours a week is making the world better. B2B organizations have an especially hard time proving this because there’s no clear evidence their business does make the world better. No consumers who sing your praises or products that solve a problem the worker can empathize with. I suspect the large amount of mental gymnastics needed to justify “our company is a net good in the world” sometimes leaks into to marketing material which leads to weird-sounding empty affirmations that are more suited to internal employee “values” documents than actual marketing content. (“We make people’s lives easier”, for instance.)
I think there might be. If your polling is not frequent enough, then if you observed a finger touch disappear from one spot and appear at another spot, you have no way to know whether the finger moved there in the span of one polling period or if the finger was lifted and a second finger placed at the new location during that polling period. So a high polling rate might be essential to disambiguate cases like this, especially for many-finger multi-touch situations.
"Give me a large world with lots of complexity and I'll entertain myself for hundreds of hours."

Personally I'd say one of the problems is that No Man's Sky never had "lots of complexity" (not that you are necessarily claiming it did or tried to). Maybe I just know too much, but I can see through the algorithms generating all the pretty pictures pretty easily, and from there it's not hard to notice that the preconditions those algorithms have is going to make it so that pretty much nothing of any other complexity is possible. So you have all of these very beautiful worlds, where all you can do is point at things and shoot them with one of a couple of different types of beams. That was pretty much written in stone as soon as the data structures that make up the world were written down; there's not much more you can do with those data structures other than what the game offers you.

Contrast with Minecraft, which is built for interaction from the get go. It's a very different data structure.

Come to think of it, you could do worse than take an early Minecraft as your base and build No Man's Sky on top of it. (Modern Minecraft would be more like what particular worlds would look like; it's now a bit too detailed to build something like this on.) Another thing you'd get out of that is that you can build things that actually interact with the environment, the way villagers (who may not actually build their villages, but they do farm) and creepers ("boom") do in minecraft. Worlds could not just look superficially different, but actually have different behaviors in them, this world filled with creatures that aren't violent, that world filled with things that destroy everything you do as soon as you look at them, etc. If one was clever and could make those world rich in resources, perhaps even resources the peaceful worlds entirely lack, you might even be able to get some "game" going like having to land with a party to defend you while you put up an obsidian shelter or something.

Man. Suddenly I wish I had a few million dollars spare lying around because this sounds like with some care it could be hella fun. Make it an MMORPG somehow (biggest challenge: What game mechanism can you use to prevent too many people from being in the same chunks at the same time? Solve that and you're a great deal of the way there, since Minecraft itself pretty much proves out the rest) and you could have an Eve killer.

But this isn't about code style for a repo. If folks don't use the rust code style for contributing to the rust repo, sure, their pulls will be asked to fix it and not merged till they do.

But as you yourself mention, folks use different code styles in different places. This is about being clearer about that.

The better analogy here is GCC calling non-GNU style C code "bad" in all repos it is run on.

Rust as a community is much more uniform wrt code style than C is, which is why the compiler even does things like warn about nonstandard style, but that's just it -- the style is non standard, not intrinsically bad in anyway (and "nonstandard" is better at explaining what's wrong than "bad" is).

There's a lot more in the Pacific nowadays than on that map. And I don't think less cables are active. Our need for bandwdith nowadays compared to 1900 is much higher, a lot of those cables have simply been upgraded from carrying telegraph signals to snappy fibre optics.

> For what it's worth, I heard that people who didn't follow the hype-train liked the game. Those accounts of the gameplay all praised it.

It's unfortunate (but understandable) that critique of No Man's Sky often mix what was promised with what was actually delivered. So much of the commentary focus on Sean Murray's broken promises.

There are a few reviews that cut through all the hype and focus on the gameplay and it's not a pretty picture. It's an AAA-priced game that (at the time of the launch) is at the level of an early access game. I recommend checking out Joseph Anderson's analysis on Youtube.

The people who have had the best time with this game seem to treat it as an overly complicated fidget cube. Something to keep their fingers busy while their mind is focused on something like listening to a podcast.

FUSE is a Unix thing. I believe there is a port/similar thing for Windows, but I guess it would suffer the same kinds of limitations; namely performance, because everything is translated through userspace. That said, isn't it true that Windows drivers are userspace-based, anyway?
No, he realizes there are many other companies. His (possibly weak) argument is that unless you work for one of the five companies listed, you might suddenly find yourself working for one of those big five upon acquisition:

"This worries me deeply, because as these companies get larger and larger, they eat up all the other sources of employment. Working at a startup that isn't one of the big 5 won't help if it gets bought out next month."
I dual boot. I also love new features and updates. On Fedora, I install update very frequently: on Windows, I go to some extremes to prevent certain types of (telemetry) updates from being installed.

On my phone, every app from F-Droid is updated daily; I've avoided installing updates to preinstalled Samsung crap from GPlay for months.

Instead of forcing updates on me, Microsoft might first try convincing me to trust that they're in my best interest, first.
Looks like each time they took a person out of the loop the machines got faster, and the factory increased in capacity. I think this is the true benefit of automation. The cost reductions from 4-1 operators is pretty minimal. The increase from 6,000 units a minute to many lines with 20,000 units a minute is where the money is.
