But that’s exactly the issue, isn’t it?

We need a system that people can install at home, and that never needs someone to configure or maintain it.

We need a system that people can throw on a VPS, and that needs no maintenance or configuration.

We need a system that a company can deploy over clusters of tenthousands of systems, and just works.

If you need a human to manually configure this stuff, it’s broken. The only situation where systemd isn’t useful is when you’re a small company, but large enough to be able to afford an ops guy for every issue there is. Generally, if you need ops to configure the base OS, you’re doing stuff wrong.

This whole point about devops and system is about automating sysadmins away, and this is a very necessary and worthy step.

So supporting configurable options takes resources away from implementing useful features. I'd rather we had more useful features, and more bugs fixed, than silly options for fussy people to rearrange where their tabs are in their browser.
Except FreeBSD is considering moving to something like launchd or systemd itself, because honestly a SMF isn't a bad idea compared to init scripts, which are rather bare bones.
Lethargic? How so? How did they become so - because they live off of the support portion of the Enterprise Oracle licenses?

It has been done for HN with dataset collected on HN. See description [1]. The initial inspiration we got from HN and discussion here. And the whole demo has been done for fun and curiosity, so it's not a startup, product, or anything we are going to develop further as a standalone app with this design and branding. Otherwise we'll use our own different branding.

My only problem with deleting a Facebook account is the Facebook login, which some of the apps enforce and most importantly developing apps which use Facebook login (for test purposes).

Surely I can create a fake account for that, but then you also need to resist the peer pressure of people trying to add you as “friends” all the time.
Had a hard time not to downvote this post. Yes, it is. But just use systemd and you'll see that it's actually quite good.
Scientific advancement and technological innovation both greatly benefit from societies that have the greatest individual liberty and the least central control. The ultimate abstraction of this has yet to be designed but I'm thinking that it will be some form of ethical anarco-capitalism. I'll take a page from Dashcoin mining, where at the point of currency creation 10% goes into a general fund. The pseudo-central micro government functions solely out of it while the free market allows all companies to compete to ever decrease its market share. As transparency is a requirement of any truly ethical society, usage of blockchain technologies become ubiquitous in virtually every aspect of business and personal interaction. This then catalyses real time global value governance and regulation giving rise to a society entirety driven by dynamic hierarchies, where an individuals level of power directly correlates to their value to specific market / solution domain.

This type of dynamic global ethical anarco-capitalism has at its roots a resurrected US Constitutional based Republic. The transitional process is in its infancy but the forces of cryptocurrency cannot be undone.

As I said on 1490am Henry Raines show yesterday (slightly more developed), if we are to succeed we need to ensure that those allowed to regulate cryptocurrencies are as intelligent as those who created them. At the foundation of programmatic global value transmission are the keys to real time micro-economies that, by their very nature, foster the rapid evolution of dynamic hierarchies.
I don't understand how that addresses the NK's advantage point.

Also, if risk is an actual issue, how do 10 nukes in NK justify this extend of worry, in contrast to the weapons Russia and the US have? (For some reason I'm reminded of John Oliver's piece on Nuclear Weapons safety in the US [1]). If humanity is to be worried about NK having them, why shouldn't we be equally worried about Russia, China, France, the US, etc.?

> Once they're safely out of Boost and implemented by the stdlib they're an order of magnitude more convenient to use.

I don't understand this. Most of the time the API doesn't even change; you can just do `namespace lib = std` or `namespace lib = boost` according to which one you want to use. In my own code for instance I have a header where I choose the std::, std::experimental or boost:: version of `optional`, `string_view`, and `any` according to the recentness of the stdlib I'm using; nothing else is needed.
I think that very much depends on what your communist society looks like in practice. If you actually somehow managed to create somewhere a successful communist society that actually succeeded at completing the revolution without a powerful state, maybe what you describe would happen.

But we never have seen that happen because in practice communist regimes tend to have strong states that engage in rather heavy-handed central planning of the economy. As a result, funding for scientific enterprises in these societies ends up being directed toward whatever the political priorities of the planners are. In the Soviet Union's case, that was military technologies and Lysenkoism.

Lysenkoism is a particularly troubling counter-example to your US coal mining example. In the US, the political inconvienence (presumably to the new administration) simply resulted in the project's funding being cut. In the Soviet Union, the political inconvience of natural selection resulted in thousands of scientists being jailed or killed, set back Soviet biology at least 150 years, and was partly to blame for the low crop yields that the Soviets kept experiencing.

So yeah, I don't particularly like the status quo in scientific publishing, but it's better than abolishing private property. Abolishing private property is one of those ideas that sounds great in theory and always ends badly in practice.

Books that had a big impact on me as a young kid were 'The Giving Tree', 'The Lorax', and 'The Velveteen Rabbit'. They were hard lessons. None of them taught a just world.

I think those books left such an impression on me because they were tragic and unresolved. There were dozens of other more simplistic moral tales that went in one ear and out the other, I'm sure.

Especially in statically typed programs you want to "break" your program for refactoring purposes. Usually I look at a function or class and create new functions/classes and then rename the old one and then fix all the errors one by one by using the new code.
Adding a condition-variable per select and keeping a list of pointers in each channel that are pinged when data arrives is the easiest approach I can think of. Haven't tried that one though, I have honestly never run into a use case where I needed select for channels outside of Go.

You can't really evolve a wheel in the sense that a half-evolved foot is useful already, whereas a half-evolved wheel: not really. Therefore obtaining a functional wheel has to be done in one jump, which is contrary to how the gradual process of evolution works.

The curve for divorce takes the same U shape, though it's steeper. It peaks around 60. This might suggest that unhappiness in marriage plays a role in overall unhappiness. In their early 20s most people aren't yet married to wrong partners. By their 60s most people who ever married have either divorced wrong partners or are living in bearable marriages.

7 Ineffective Coding Habits
Having tried various Illumos-based operating systems, I could care less if they reopened Solaris with one exception: ZFS. I would like to see them alter the licensing terms of it so that it could be properly integrated into Linux.

I believe they should consider this because Btrfs, which Oracle itself started, it going nowhere fast; and because Oracle customers who run Linux will benefit as well.

Communism as originally described by Marx is essentially an anarchist ideology. The idea of having a state attached to it before the complete transition to classless society worldwide is complete and how powerful that state should be, are areas of debate that came up later.

Given that we've seen most communist states fail or abandon non market-based economic models, the anarchist flavor seems to be in greater intellectual vogue these days.

IIUC that is anonymized data. The whole point then is that it cannot be associated to your account, i.e. cannot be removed when you delete your account.

Otherwise, there's a shit-ton of law and regulations around this issue. I'm sure there are plenty of options for you to take when you think a company violates EU law. Safe Harbor got wrecked because a young fellow from Austria thought so and courts determined he was right.
I agree that "Iraq was invaded for its oil" has no compelling evidence (although they certainly were not above using that as a nice plus once in the place), but God are the two sources you provided bad. scottmanning.com: it does not matter how much "Iraqi oil" gets into the US, oil is oil not fine wine. What matters is that the oil fields are managed by US-aligned companies, and a lot of them are. Foreign Policy: ouch, that is like a motherlode of bad faith put into article form to justify the invasion, so basically because they found (after the facts) some documents relating wishful thinking about future coordination with Al-Qaeda, that justifies the patently off-based and oversold WDM claims, and makes all the sick 9/11 dog whistles "not lies"? Wow.
All we need is the trademark for Solaris, so that illumos can use its historical name. This should be much easier.
I agree, it's something that sounds difficult to get right, and if it's possible to get right, what's the best way to go about it? I contend that the model which the Soviets adopted was poor, not only for the reasons you mentioned (rigid central planning, authoritarianism, and opposition to recognised science in favour of nationalism-based "science"). It's important to ask why these things happened, so I think that the solution is not as simple as I perhaps made it out to be.

However we see that in the Soviet Union, places of science remained private property, administered by either private institutions or a state which claimed to be in control of the people, while it was clearly not. The whole Soviet model collapsed very early one because certain factions were banned, and their members executed. I do not think that this is the best that we can do. However I think that the solution, however utopian it sounds, lies in abolition of private property because otherwise we are still beholden to the whims of speculators and their profits rather than the interest of the community. Even if you only democratised science, this would be problematic; the scientists need to eat, and I would argue that they shouldn't have to eat only if the State or a private institutions tells them that they can eat.

There are other examples to go along with what you said. I can't remember the source, but there was a time in the Soviet Union in which scientists wished to implement a much better system of central planning which took into account input and output tables continuously; whether or not the computer power existed at the time I don't know, but the system was quickly shut down by the Soviet bureaucracy - I think because it posed a threat to the power of the State. This is why I tend to by more sympathetic to anarchist ideologies (as a questioner at the end of the presentitaion mentions), because by destroying the material conditions of the state then the state ceases, what you describe as happening has less chance to take hold.

This is why Communism is an anarchist ideology, in recognition of the very problem you have mentioned. Modern day Communists such as Zizek and Badiou accept this, and Badiou urges us to continue with the Communist Hypothesis[0]. The Soviet model was initially radical, but it was not radical enough to overcome the power structures which were much more entrenched than the founders of the revolution thought. So I still think Communism is the answer, but in what way is yet to be found out, and the debate fiercely rages. It's not that I think Lysenkoism is better than what we have currently (including all our junk "science" coming from here and there), it's that I think there is a solution superior to both situations, namely, in the reduction of power of the state and the diminishing of nationalism by making a global revolution as Marx's internationalist roots envisioned. It's not the abolition of private property that was the cause of Lysenkoism, it was exactly what we see now - rigid state bureaucracy and private institutions.

Same here. I've increasingly started to use things like Darktable because I want to be sure I can use the same app for a decade or so (which is likely to be impossible in iOS, really, the way things are going).
The incremental value of one software engineer working on tiny things can still be positive if they're working on a product that's used by hundreds of millions of people.

For example, a small feature or redesign that increases engagement of a feature by 10% can make millions for Facebook.

Towards an Automatic Turing Test: Learning to Evaluate Dialogue Responses
I'm very saddened by what happens with what is left of Sun.

I used to work at Sun, and the Solaris codebase is the most amazing C code I've ever worked with. I'm probably going to be accused of bias, but the Linux code is really messy compared to Solaris.

Sun was already on the way down by the time I left many years ago, but what had happened since Oracle bought them has been nothing but depressing.
> There's no other big consumer country like US to buy all the stuff from China.

The EU may not be a single country, but it's a bigger market than the US.

Furthermore, there's literally every other country on Earth. Of course, most of them are not nearly as developed as the Western countries. But if you take e.g. the EU and the rest of the BRICS, intensifying trade with those would likely offset a large part of the potential losses in trade volume with the US.

Downvotes are really interesting in a sense they provide me with perspective that some people don't even read what is the main point I am making. Systemd discussion is data point, not the main point for me.

English is not my main language but I prefer clearly stating what is what, not really skilled in underhand 'polite' underhand attack.

This project has come a long way, and it seems ultra cool. When I first saw it, I thought it was going to be more of a "turn your old phone into a Raspberry Pi type device" .. basically a little embedded machine you could use to control other things or maybe home automation.

However it now looks like a much broader project, with some big GUI and driver goals. It'd be pretty amazing if we end up with a Linux distribution you can just install on most old devices and continue using them as little usable Plasma devices.

> because of the benefits to Californians

Sorry if this is naïvety and I can't speak for anyone other than myself but at least for me there's an irrational "love" element that I cannot silent. We fight for political control but my "tribe" is the entire country, not my region. Personally, the day I start talking about how it is economically beneficial to stay in the union is the day I start preparing for the union to dissolve.
Elsevier taking "too much" money is incidental, and not the main problem in science right now. And this Scihub solution do solve this incidental issue and more, but this is a fraction of all the issues in science (i can't explain this very well in english, so i won't, but the eastern/western culture clash, ego war, bureaucraty, lack of good HR that lead to depressed/apathic scientist, and the publishing race are some other issues not solved yet).

But this is not communism (i know lot of people in the US are confused by this, even the people that call themselve communist) but rather anarchism ("Libertaire" in french that is a left-wing libertarianism) with the idea that science is one of the common good. This new-wave anarchism take some old idea from Proudhon and enhance them. So you let behind the idea that private property is evil, but private property of the common is. You have the idea that people can't own what is used by other people. So you can have a hundred appartments in a big city, but you can't rent them. You can sell them, speculate on them, but you cannot rent them. And since it is anarchism, a more distributed/less powerfull government is needed too.

On the point of "no private ownership of the common good", this seems like communism, yes (Communism come from anarchism somehow), but communism is the idea that the state have to regulate this, scihub is not on any level a state initiative.

40 km/h is not impossible by any means but as a sustained average speed it takes a special bike and a person with pretty mighty athletic background. Definitely not something for the average commuter. Even 20 km/h sustained for an hour is more than most people can do.

I could probably do 40 km/h for 15-30 minutes if I went all-in and had a racing bike. But my commute includes dirt roads and pathways through the forest so a racing bike is out of question and I don't want to take a shower every day arriving to work.

I don't really have to share the road with cars at any point on my commute so driving too slow isn't an issue. A part of the way is shared with pedestrians (and slower bicyclists) so going too fast is more of a problem.
Often such studies invalidate what "everybody knows". Sometimes the corrections are major (heliocentrism, evolution), sometimes smaller.
