"Nvidia graphics with the actual binary drivers are great for Linux users."

The binary drivers are pretty invasive (they replace quite a few libraries and such, if I'm remembering right from when I originally setup my current gaming rig), and they were really slow to support KMS and Wayland (but apparently that's changed within the last year or so).

Nvidia is also typically a showstopper for non-Linux free operating systems (like, say, OpenBSD) which tend to not have any possibility for Nvidia-provided binary drivers. Considering that the safe bet for OpenBSD is basically "buy a ThinkPad", a "retro" ThinkPad with Nvidia graphics is kind of a downer.

Meanwhile, my ordinary T470 with Intel graphics works reasonably well (suspend/resume aside, but I can live without that) on OpenBSD's -CURRENT branch, so if this "retro" ThinkPad is just a T470 with Nvidia graphics and a non-chiclet keyboard, then it ain't like there's much reason for me to really want it.

I've never had a good experience with Pulse, never had it work out of the box, and can never find information about configuring it. It gets uninstalled on every machine I run.

I stick with plain ALSA. It's annoying to configure, but IME it works out of the box and I usually don't have to worry about it.
OK, it's one example. Nobody is going to brush my teeth for me, and I'm not sure why this should be the first answer rather than not working an insane amount of hours.
For an example of an overreaction check out what happened to Iraq and how many people died there.

9/11 was a very ugly thing, but if the goal was to drive a wedge between the United States and the rest of the world because of the reaction it caused then it succeeded very well. Note that terrorists do not necessarily have as a goal to kill a lot of people (though I'm sure they would not pass up the opportunity if they had it), the goal is to cause their perceived enemy to be afraid and to react in ways that further their (the terrorists) goals.

So you are actually helping them.

Still, lots of complex problems and unique constraints in the space that make for a challenging and ultimately rewarding domain to develop software for.

Booking actually helps in these situations, a friend of mine works as a customer service agent there and spends a fair share of his time resolving such issues. If I get it right, in such cases Booking should suggest the new property to a guest and reimburse the price from the first hotel.

> "Web apps" could potentially go away

I prefer to think of it instead as native apps going away. Or rather, the web becoming indistinguishable from native.

If native apps start being run on WASM, and web apps start being run on WASM, and the web continues to gain access to more and more "native" APIs... it may not be long before there's basically no difference between a native app and a web app, from the end-user _or_ developer's perspective.

Historically there was a far greater overlap between socialism and racism, so the historical argument doesn't hold much water. Libertarianism (no govt control over the economy) is the polar opposite of fascism (almost full govt control over the economy), so if people went from one to the other they either radically changed their position or were incorrectly calling themselves libertarian. The article insinuates that "America first" economic nationalism has something to do with libertarianism, but that couldn't be further from the truth. Libertarianism is staunchly opposed to tariffs and special treatment of chosen companies. The so-called "globalism" that the alt right rails against is textbook libertarianism: open borders for goods, services, and people.

The movie industry doesn't seem to be able to figure out if a movie will be a dud up front. Most of the dud movies are broken at the script and actor selection phase. Maybe productions need to do a staged reading in front of an audience as a test before going into production. Perhaps with slides and sketches from the storyboard for the action.

The CG people have their act together. When was the last time a big-budget movie flopped because the special effects were done badly? Effects are carrying many weak movies. People don't realize until it's over that it sucked.
The way you've phrased this, it sounds like you are casting "other hard to cure STDs" as a protective measure against the "threat of 1960s style of unprotected sex wave."

I read it as him casting the threat of those 'hard to cure STDs' as an incentive for people to not take the 1% risk of HIV infection.

And HPV wasn't linked with cervical cancer yet - that doesn't mean it wasn't a disease. And I'm comfortable calling HSV-2 a disease based on the potential congenital consequences alone.

It's certainly a manageable one, and the stigma around it is silly, but if the common cold is a disease, then herpes is.
It's also bad from a hiring perspective since any incentive stock options may not have much upside unless the strike price is heavily discounted.
Seems like explicitly freeing memory should be regarded as unsafe. Unsafe things aside, the compiler should regard it as a copy instead of a move so multiple functions can safely use the resource without having to pass it by reference. If there is a good reason for an affine type system, I suspect it has to do with parallelism and not manual memory management.
My company (20,000+ employees) just started an engagement with Red Hat this week. We went with them for exactly what the article describes: open source software, packaged in an enterprise (i.e. expensive) fashion to make it palatable. We could have implemented these tools ourselves, but the executives appreciate the support contract and training, and I'm already seeing how we can benefit from the consultants' knowledge and clout.

Red Hat is making a very strong play in the microservices/container space. Openshift is a pretty dang good k8s distro, and they're also doing a lot in the API space (especially with 3scale).
I've grown to really like PA. Originally I did not like PA because I thought it used more system resources over raw ALSA since it obviously came with a daemon running the background.. What I didn't know was that the libraries that applications used to interface with ALSA had all computation for sound mixing done in userland. So in a real world example, your audio player app using raw ALSA might use 10% of your cpu while playing audio. But using the pulse backend would cause your audio app to use 2% cpu with the pulse daemon using 3%. So its actually using less even though it is not obvious.

Once I started using PA, I kind of went crazy with it and started trying to add PA support to old linux software that was still ALSA only. The library and docs were not hard to use. The PA framework is all reference counted as well so when you create the pa-objects in C, you never really need to worry about memory allocation. It was pretty neat. Unfortunately, before I had all my commits and patches ready, I changed jobs and never got the free time to commit them the rest of the way.
I don't even go to RT now that Google puts a critic rating from there or elsewhere up when I Google a title.

"I am a movie critic by trade, and until recently, I got paid to tell you people which movies merely stink and which ones you shouldn’t screen near an open flame. Well, I’m putting the burden of lousy movies back on you. It’s very simple: if you stop going to bad movies, they’ll stop making bad movies. If the movie used to be a TV show, just don’t go. After Roman numeral II, give it a rest. If it's a remake of a classic, rent the classic. Tell them you want stories about people, not a hundred million dollars of stunts and explosives. People, it’s up to you. If the movie stinks, just don’t go."

If I understand this correctly, such deals should be forbidden by contracts with property aggregators.
The solution there is to have a gradient of criticality to each individual workload. If you have 100% capacity of an individual assigned to contractually obligated work then you are under-resourced and have a problem. In my experience, there are always nice-to-haves, and a resource allocation plan should include a good amount of those goals at all levels of granularity to give overall flexibility. I realize that's hard to achieve, and maybe even impossible for some types of organizations, but to me it's the only way to operate without either causing massive burnout or paying people to sit around.
Because it doesn't feel the same, duh. Might as well ask why people have sex at all instead of staying home safely and jerking off.

The only incentive TFL has is to make travel as efficient as possible.

The underground is way too crowded, but so are the roads (mainly because of taxis these days).

This makes Uber a better bet than taxis (more efficient) buses better than both, bikes best of all and something in between a nirvana.

However, none of that matters as long as Uber think they're above the law.
Ok but can we then have an addition to the rules that says "thau shall not ask others to go read something to make your argument for you" ?

11.6" Pinebook owner here. This version doesn't have the keyboard issue, but they've had trouble sourcing the screens, so it can take ages before the 11.6'' is produced and shipped. I was lucky to order it not long after it was announced.

And yeah, it's mainly Ayufan busting his butt with all of the pinebook distros, with a little help from two or three others. But he's pretty much hammered out all the issues that Ubuntu had upon the pinebook's initial release, and he's active on the Pine64 IRC if you ever run into any issues.

I run xenial ubuntu with i3wm, and it's fine for on-the-go programming. I've been using it to learn Common Lisp at coffee shops. Don't bother if you're a React/Angular/Vue etc developer; the build tools will take too long for it to be productive. I'm not even sure if it can handle ruby sass, for scss scripts.

So yeah, it's great if you want to tinker with a cheap ARM notebook. But not great as a daily driver, or any complicated dev work.
Only in parts, not all instructions, and some functionality it did have was buggy. 4 and 5 are much more advanced/competitive on SIMD issues, it seems.

A taxi driver in London can't buy a home on his own income, don't be ridiculous. An uber driver in London can put a kid through college (it's basically free). Both can take vacations.

Anecdotally, uber showing up in London was when I started to use car transport in the first place. It didn't remove me from the customer pool of black cabs - I was never there; most of the time it's competing with the tube / a bus. I would guess the only significant customers moving from taxi to uber are business travelers - but those are rarely motivated by price, and rather it's the convenience of the app that appeals.

GPS killed taxi drivers, not uber; the wage is catching up to the fact that almost anyone could drive a taxi nowadays.

It's an aggregate of lists created by critics, so there's certainly bias towards older films.
A flip side to this... is Rotten Tomatoes boosting movies that would otherwise be ignored, by virtue of excellent ratings?

I'm thinking specifically of Hidden Figures here. Who would ever have thought that we'd see a Star Wars movie (Rogue One) booted out of the #1 spot by a movie about black women doing math?

(This is in no way a criticism of either movie, btw. I loved both of them and consider them high-water marks of recent cinema.)

Truly ideally you have someone/team who actually can do both properly. However, very few people can. And if you have one, you may not be able to justify their time on all aspects.

So the compromise is usually as you describe, but you bear the cost of translation issues no matter how you do this. It's worth remembering that it is a compromise.

I think systems like tensorflow are implicitly a recognition of this, allowing lower impedance between the groups.
Those are really some low expectations. The whole point of the ACID terminology is to apply it to transactions of arbitrary complexity with respect to the underlying data store.

It's not saying much to say that a database management system is ACID as long as you constrain your updates to a single record in a single table.
As someone trying to learn to read sheet music as an adult, it is clear to me that the system is in dire need of a refactor. I'm always excited to see alternative notations, but you are right about the problem where there is a vast amount written using the notation we have right now.

Right. Reading that though does prompt me to identify very thoroughly with the 'work-to-live' rather than 'live-to-work' category. Even the characterisation of non-work (non-computing?) activities as mere 'entertainment' or 'rest' is deeply foreign to my way of being. At least 1 non-device/screen day is a crucial act of balance and independence to me. And I think the only way I could be 'bored' would be in solitary confinement in an empty cell. Otherwise there's too much to do, read, listen to, think about, etc.

Just goes to show how different people can be. Which I guess we already knew.

In the 80s HIV wasn't really diagnosed until it had reached the AIDS level, was it? AIDS itself was first diagnosed in 1981 and HIV wasn't isolated until 1983 and didn't have that name until 1986.

Postgres will NEVER lose an increment if two transactions try to swap the same counter at the same time, even if denormalized or distributed reads. ACID means "doesn't lose data"

Postgresql with read replicas is ACID-Consistent transactions because there is a single writer process to prevent data loss. Only the reads are distributed and thus cap-AP eventually consistent.
