Because now you've structured your entire society around having a class of consumers who don't even have the pretense of contributing back to the greater good via productive labor. To the point of the original article this creates a situation that's ripe for exploitation.

Not to mention this opens the door to a whole bunch of uncomfortable questions: should we continue to subsidize childbirth as the economic value of a citizen tails off? Why spend money educating people who will never enter the labor force? What happens to immigration when immigrants statistically no longer provide economic value?

The Secret of Success in FinTech: Partner, Merge, Acquire
Back on XP I recall C-A-D not showing the task manager on malware-infested machines. Not sure if that's changed since then (is the full-screen c-a-d in 7/8/10 related)?
A few months ago I wrote a custom web app with data visualization that can run on-top of the old Microsoft Retail Management System. It bypasses the application itself and just taps directly into the SQL Server database.

As I was writing it I tried to make it pretty general/generic so that there was not too much code that was specific to this particular small retail chain.

I wonder how many retail chains will still be using this POS system after end of life?

I wonder if that might be the kind of niche thing that could end up being profitable? Or, would it trap me in a barely profitable situation with just enough customers that I feel like I need to keep it going but not enough to really make a comfortable living?

I wasn't sufficiently clear. In the UK, many people don't get any benefit, even though they're out of work (or working for free), because they're unfamiliar with the rules, which are based on the fiction that paid work is easy to find.

Some welfare (aka workfare) does indeed require the unemployed person taking a full-time job, for which they are paid their jobseeker's allowance and no more, and if they refuse they get nothing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Workfare_in_the_United_Kingdom
Super simple to do as an end user, for sure.
Interesting. I hadn't previously thought about the form of those punctuation marks.

Upon looking at them, a dot intuitively ends a sentence. A dot with a line intuitively ends a sentence with emphasis, and a dot with a meandering line questions.

From that perspective a question mark really does indicate uncertainty and possibly a question.

I'll admit I'm certainly not an expert on browser rendering pipelines, but that's not the impression the article gave. Rather, it suggested that current browser engines may, in fact, be more efficient in terms of the absolute number of computations done.

When discussing existing browsers:

> But often the things on these layers didn’t change from frame to frame. For example, think of a traditional animation. The background doesn’t change, even if the characters in the foreground do. It’s a lot more efficient to keep that background layer around and just reuse it.

> So that’s what browsers did. They retained the layers. Then the browser could just repaint layers that had changed.

Then, later in the article, when discussing WebRender:

> What if we removed this boundary between painting and compositing and just went back to painting every pixel on every frame?

(Emphasis mine.)

So is WebRender less efficient in terms of power usage? Or is there some other factor that offsets the cost of this extra work?
Education, social justice, economic opportunity and universal health care are all wonderful things but this is a problem we need to solve -now-. We have something like 100 years by conservative estimates before runaway effects like methane clathrate melt and ocean acidification make warming inevitable and irreversible. Even now, in the "wealthy" USA, abandoning coal power is being described as unrealistic, let alone implementing the sweeping social changes you've mentioned in places like Africa, Central America and China.

"Injustices on an industrial scale"? When billions of people are displaced from the rising coasts, when entire nations disappear into the ocean, when our over-homogenized agriculture fails to sudden environmental shifts leading to widespread famine, we'll wish we had just gotten vasectomies instead.

I remember of this long article, that, technically demonstrates that systemd is badly designed, as you said: http://blog.darknedgy.net/technology/2015/10/11/0/

Didn't read it entirely at the time as it dives really fast into the technical stuff and provides an ever growing flow of informations that you have to absorb to understand it correctly. Seeing people like you being so concerned with systemd makes me inclined to re-read it fully.

And why FreeBSD and not voidlinux or something in this fashion ? More secure ? More mature ? Will never be subject to such issues ?

I'm trying to understand why "CircleCI browser context has full access to the CircleCI API, which is hosted on the same domain".

Doesn't API have seperate authentication credentials (API key/tokens) than the web UI (i.e. cookies)? I understand these loaded 3rd party scripts can scrape what's rendered on the UI, but making calls to the API??? I wonder how that's possible in CircleCI case.

Got a cite for this? I've never heard of anyone who was against the US type of Unemployment Insurance, since to be eligible for it, you have to have been working for some time.

> "How many working people would vote against taking universal basic income rights away from Nazis and terrorists? And once that is done, can we be sure they will not get an appetite to take them away from more and more people they dislike?"

That is one of the biggest problems with UBI - how do you keep it universal?

A good middle ground might be to review only the top 1000 extensions or so and put a trusted checkmark on them.

Reflecting back on the automated extension review, I just realized that the problem is more complex that it seems at first glance since extensions can also contain content scripts that inject JS directly into pages themselves, so it's easy to mask the source of a POST by injecting the xhr directly into the webpage.
Shame, I really like my phone, but this level of data collection is completely unacceptable.

However, this post does need third party verification.

North Korean Hackers Reportedly Stole U.S./South Korean Plans for War
This alias seems to be set by default in many linux distributions these days (and has been that way for many years now).

The problem is that you get used to this crutch and rely on it, until one day you're logged in someplace without the alias and end up deleting something you shouldn't.

I'm not a fan and normally disable it. Instead, I prefer to be very careful and deliberate when using rm, especially with any wildcards, making sure I'm in the right directory and that the pattern matches what I expect it to.
Well apparently the whole product is aimed at a specific gender (girls) so asking what gender users identify as doesn't seem entirely out of scope?
That assumption was wrong for me personally. I flagged since code breaking during the world wars was a massive collaborate effort, and this kind of article tries to distill it down to a few people in order to then complain about it and make a political piece about gender. Discussions resulting from that approach is designed to turn volatile in order to raise shares and clicks.
Sorry to say, but what I remember most after finishing The Turn of the Screw was how utterly underwhelmed I was by the "great" Henry James.

I'm a junior dev and I have been meaning to master a framework really well. I really like the concept of .net core, I have decided to stick with it. But the documentation is scattered, it doesn't feel consistent.

I wish they made that documentation as pleasant and well put together as Django's documentation.

As a junior dev good docs are the biggest thing for me.
Solar panels make their ecological footprint after 3 years of use and last for 30 years. 80% of the material in solar panels is recycled from old solar panels.

I wonder how much Google pays PC manufacturers to have Chrome as the default browser. A few years ago I purchased a Lenovo laptop that had Chrome pre-installed as the default. The desktop shortcut label was simply "Internet Browser".
It's not really a good idea to hire junior employees for remote work, for this very reason. Doubtful technology can solve the problem.

That's the first thing that triggered me as well.

The only thing that 3rd party JS will have access to is everything on the page.

Now, the things on the page are sensitive (the secrets from the env variables are dumped in the UI).

Secrets in the secrets page are not exposed at any time, even when you go to edit. Only in the build screen, it's exposed to the output.

Those 3rd party libs DO NOT have access to your source code at any time. The only time they will have access to your code is if they gain SSH access to the machines that are running the build. And that's not trivial.

Even if your public key is exposed, they don't have access to checkout github with that.

So yeah, it's 3rd party libs in a "private" context but not more than that IMHO.
All I can think about is how I wouldn't be able to do this because I love my cats and rabbit too much. Wouldn't be possible.

Further is not really about giving up your job, basic income is for people that will simply be phased out of the employment system due to automation, and other factors that simply will make them unemployable.

This is only true if you're fine with reinstalling the side-loaded app every week. This is a pretty major caveat imo. If you want the app to stay on your device past a week you need to buy the paid Apple Developer subscription.
I'm not really sure how wasting a bit of water while brushing your teeth in Berlin could be considered particularly immoral or unethical. Berlin is, as far as I know, in no danger of water shortages and being more frugal with water in Berlin does nothing whatsoever for the billions of people in the world who have no or limited access to safe water supplies. Am I wrong?
You can be a great cook but a terrible chef. A chef is an experienced cook who can also manage a kitchen. Management ability without cooking skill is what you get at fast food franchises and meal manufacturers like Sysco. Being a foodie is a negative hiring signal in those contexts.

That's a good argument for not having the app store on Win7, but APIs are a separate matter. If UWP API could be used to write something that is both a store app on Win10, but can also be deployed (let's say, in a manner similar to Electron apps, with the runtime packaged with the app) on Win7, I think we'd see a lot more of them. Even if you had to build it separately, so long as most of UI code could be shared, it's a boon.

As it is, it's easier to just target WPF.
McCordick argues that debate is becoming an inaccessible rhetorical monoculture; you point out a trend towards rhetorical diversification, affect theory, and personalization.

This is arguably competitive debate's biggest culture clash (though debaters from neither camp could be successful without proficiency in the other)––even if you believe them to be corrosive, it's misguided to construe them as parts of the same trend.

Additionally, it's interesting that you select 2014 CEDA finals as an example, which was not only criticized but also met with fairly vicious racism––why not the 2015 NDT, which exemplifies the kind of debate McCordick criticizes? Or the 2013 NDT, which shows the two styles in interaction?

I code on a 13" laptop screen, regardless of where I am. I have a 27" monitor on my desk at work that I never use. I find the lack of extra screen real-estate helps me focus.

(I used to code quite happily on an 11" MacBook Air, but Apple seems to have stopped caring about that line, so I abandoned them.)
I'm not naive, but everyone takes the OS source code and platform for granted, and asks, "what else can I get"?

It's obvious that Android has enabled and continues to enable an ecosystem of hardware companies to thrive. These companies have tried repeatedly to build their own software, but with NO commercial success. Imagine a world with an Apple like Android, Google owning the software, closed sourced, walled, yada yada ... That's still a possibility if the ludicrous EU actions on Android don't stop. Google makes about 1/10th the revenue and 1/100th the profit off Android as Apple makes off the iOS product lines.

Android's ecosystem gets a LOT more out of Google than Google gets out of Android

EDIT: Samsung, LG, Huawei, ... they're even relevant in phones because of Google. I doubt it's the other way around. Samsung is SO scared of Google cutting it off that it tries repeatedly with alternate OS-es --> everything from Tizen to windows phones. Nothing sticks

>Unless there's something else not mentioned in the talk, it seems like you still need to trust the OS, because when the OS is asked to allocate a page for a spillet there is nothing stopping it from creating a virtual alias of that page elsewhere and allowing another thread to read its data.

The Mill is hardware and architecture, not policy. If you want to use such an OS then you are free to do so. The Mill is designed to efficiently support micro-kernel OSs. Note: micro-kernel, not no-kernel. There always will be a Resource Service that owns the machine. It will be a couple hundred LOC, small enough to be correct by eyeball or proof. Contrast your choice of monolith.

The OS is not involved in allocating spillets. Spillet space is a large statically-allocated matrix in the address space. It is not allocated in memory, only in the address space. As soon as you allocate a turf id and a thread id you have implicitly allocated a spillet. Only on spillet overflow is allocation necessary. Whether allocating turf or thread ids requires OS involvement depends on the policies and models chosen by the OS designer.

When first created the spillet data lives only in backless cache - no memory is allocated. Only if the spillet lives long enough to get evicted from cache is actual memory allocated, using the Backless Memory mechanism described in our Memory talk. The root spillets of apps will live that long; transient spillets from portal calls will likely live only in cache. Consequently truly secire IPC/RPC using Mill portals has overhead, both app and system combined, of the same magnitude of an ordinary function call.

> They don't provide nearly enough ways to transitively grant permissions. Using the mechanisms discussed in the talk, it doesn't seem like you can implement a simple asynchronous queue of units of work to perform, each having their own permissions.

There is a "session" notion that addresses such things. Unfortunately the talks are far enough into details that they must contain background and introduction slides for the viewers who have not already done (and retailed) all the other talks. This limits the amount of new material that can be covered in a single talk, and sessions didn't make the cut this time. We'll get to them.

> The mechanism to support fork() is a total kludge.

Agreed; there seems to be a Law of Conservation of Kludgery. We had as a minimum requirement that the architecture must support Unix shell. The only real problem is fork(). Would that we could issue an edict banning it.
> So you agree that there is no point spending $500 here and the watch should be returned?

Why are we talking about a broad parody as if it's factual? The article's mixture of credulity and petulance is surely a send-up of West-Coast tech industry narcissism.

> > maybe you don't actually like exercise and you should stop

Yup.
They have some in-store kiosks for building mocked up rooms already, which would plausibly have some usable assets there.
One difference is that you can be a decent food critic without being a chef. So I think it's theoretically more feasible to start a restaurant as Joe-rando business guy.

That said, I think in both cases the business guy needs to bring domain knowledge (or an insane amount of hustle) to the table. Figuring out the type, location, and marketing of a restaurant is just as much of a make-or-break proposition as having the right chef. Similarly, on the software side you need either pitching/fundraising or some kind of go-to-market skills, whether it be enterprise sales or consumer marketing. Entrepreneurial chefs and developers at the top of their game enough to offer something compelling may be able to do this themselves, but in most cases a partnership with the right business person will have a multiplicative effect on the results.

I'm advocating changing education so it works for "the other 70%". You seem to advocate just giving up on them because they can't be reached. This is our disagreement.

Your position seems to be that education should identify strengths and build on them at the exclusion of weaknesses. My position is that education should fill in gaps and make everyone more balanced. These are fundamentally different positions.

Also, made up numbers like "70% of people don't care about education" raise red flags for me.
