After the devs’ fight on the mailing list with AMD, I’ve given up and switched to the proprietary driver. I’d rather use proprietary technology.

After all, the kernel maintainers suggested exactly that: They’d rather have everyone use only proprietary code, than any kind of modularity for drivers in Linux.

Nix now can download and install binaries into a home directory? I thought it would require quite a bit of work on a building process and binary patching post installation, since you know, a lot of things require absolute paths, like an elf interpreter for example.

This extension will become deprecated with Firefox 57 (WebExtensions update).

Unfortunately, it seems that they've failed with shipping U2F support in Firefox at the time, so the browser support seems to be coming to 58 (currently in Nightly). So, your options in November will be either Firefox ESR or switching to Firefox Beta.

It's exciting to see so many problem solvers use Rust to improve core linux utilities. I've been using Exa as an 'ls' replacement for some time now. 'fd' looks promising but has room to grow, still. Finding a file and then acting upon it is an important feature that ought to be addressed.
That was also my understanding, but even with that I don't think I ever ended up getting such an expression right.
Because search engines are a winner takes all market. There is no reason for anyone to use the second best search engine and so there will be a tendency for everyone to migrate to the best one. Plus they are now the incumbent so you would really need a new search engine that is significantly better for people to notice and start switching.
There is a misconception that the list of tasks that we need humans to work on is roughly equal to the number of humans that we currently have available. Instead, I think if we eliminated many of the current tasks from our global priority queue (such as chopping salads) then we will soon discover new tasks.
> ...the only way to level the playing field seems to be through the collapse of the financial system.

It's worth noting that when the financial system goes through a down cycle, the government bails out the politically and economically powerful, propping up existing economic inequalities. This is not a capitalist policy.

I think capitalism mostly has a branding problem.

Because it's close to impossible. To compete with Google in its primary business of search/advertising you must

1) be much better at it, or no one will switch

2) have enough money for the equipment to handle the crazy amounts of traffic

3) have enough money for the engineers to build all that

You have to realize how huge and fast google already is. You make a post/comment on Reddit, it's in the search results within minutes.

What features would it take for you to switch from Google? Even if some giant like Apple would spend billions and launch a search engine, how many non-apple users would use it? My guess is - not that many. Google has become a verb. "Just google it".

As far as I can see, you can beat google in some niches, like DuckDuckGo that rides on the wave of privacy.
I came into the comments to mention JINS, and ask why a competitor with their business model can't start up in US?

JINS actually starts at $50 (price includes eye exam+frames+lenses, and you can drop by whenever afterwards to have them cleaned/adjusted), and when I had mine made it only took one hour. I saw the machines they have in the back that prepare the lenses on-the-spot. In effect lens 3D printers. Neat stuff.
I know very well what you are referring to, however Mt. Gox was one of the first exchanges, and it in no way is indicative of the industry now.

Bitcoin is very new, created in 2009, didn't see any real usage until 2010/2011, Mt. Gox blew up in early 2014, and now in 2017 most exchanges follow KYC laws, are built on real trading systems, and can't be compared to Mt. Gox any more than you can compare a Boeing 777 to the wood gliders that mankind first flew on.

These are async functions - which means they happen after the data is already in the database. They basically act like a producer/consumer pipeline.

Triggers happen before the data is saved - which lets you change the request (or other data in the db) before it is saved or abort the request.

Without it even trivial operations become hard - such as add a column from other places in the database, incermenting counters/cached aggregates, authorization that isn't role/access based, etc...
..and for everything else. Several of companies that I have worked for are still using code that I wrote without continuously paying me for it. That was what we agreed on so I don't see any injustice.
For the price of 2-3 days you should be able to get a dedicated OVH server for a month. The 64 GCP cores are 32 real cores, so monthly rent of $600 should get you there.
I would like to quit web development and come back if a modern solution comes along.

We need a cocoa of the web, there was cappucino but it never took off, but I think with web assembly anything is possible, i'd rather use opengl and shaders than html and css.

I even think there's a missing file in between html and css, there should be a data structure that automatically becomes a user interface and another language to for layout, so the the concerns are separated between developer and designer.

Capitalism won't die. It's an umbrella term for a lot of different economic arrangements where private individuals hold the main concentrations of wealth. As other commenters mentioned, capitalism is not a political system.

What will die is growthism (https://hbr.org/2013/10/this-isnt-capitalism-its-growthism-a...): the organization of our economic systems around the assumption of perpetual exponential growth. It's simple math that this will fail, no matter how many virgin markets there are in developing countries. We can already see growth failing; it is likely to completely collapse within the lifetimes of most people in this forum.

But even when growthism fails, some form of private ownership will survive.

The ISS is, primarily, our single microgravity laboratory. Giving it gravity would make it unfit for that role.

(NASA could duplicate the radiation and confinement here on Earth relatively easily, if not for the ethical issues. These seem to not matter as much when compensated with the privilege of going to space. But making gravity on space just to hack an ethically acceptable experiment would start to get ridiculous.)

I don't think there is any easy fix for this. The capital is only interested in building robots if they save human labor costs. If they save human labor only to pay those same costs in taxes for basic income then they should have invested in something else.

For the most part, the deployment of capital into robots can only happen if it is going to displace people.

It intrigues me that the experts and their market research told them it will fail. Did they just do a lousy research or was the idea too innovative? How is it possible to distinguish between those cases (bad research vs no one will buy it vs innovative idea people don't understand yet)?
IMHO, there is no demand for this kind of "improved tools collection". In the programming world, the programmer creates a sweet working environment to fit his needs by creating many alias and functions, by customizing his desktop. He complains that the tools collection is complex but has no opportunity to progress because he rarely uses them directly. In the "sysop" world, the user is always logged remotely on varying machines. There is no incentive to install and customize a machine because he will quickly have to work on another machine without this customization.

I think we need a saner alternative to the man pages of the classic unix tools collection. Something less focus on the seldom used options, but more focus on the traps to avoid and the useful tricks. The bad quality of documentation is more annoying than the incongruous syntax of tools.

I'm super skeptical of these interchanges, because it seems very difficult to avoid train/test skew. Any difference in detail between the two implementations is a potential problem. I can imagine different order of operations putting out some values by 0.1%, causing 1% eventual loss of accuracy.

Debian is a great, stable distro. Even Sid, the unstable, rolling branch sees little breakage overall. Sane defaults, package maintainers who care about the minor rendering bugs in obscure packages and make the effort to patch said bugs. I'm continually impressed by the fit & finish of Debian, especially in context of how deep the Debian Archive is, with 68 thousand software packages in total.
You're just not their target audience. Others are willing to throw money at Red Hat for this "rediculousness", though.
It is a bit more complicated but I can get if people whose first language is English and who are rarely exposed to other languages cannot understand the struggle.

If I prefer to read English texts in their original form (because I understand it perfectly clear) but read texts in my native language in that original language, there is no single setting.

It feels weird saying this, but it reeks of a very anglo-american worldview to have a single language preference.
Google Drive as video CDN
That's funny in practice. But does not have to be a problem in principle.

There are ways to test your tests (in a way that does not lead to an infinite regress), and alternatively you can also prove your tests correct; or just use plain old code review.
The assumption that there are always two intelligent sides to an issue is a pretty big assumption. If you understand both sides of an issue really deeply and you choose side B and are against side A, you should be able to argue intelligently for side A otherwise your choice of side B is not made intelligently, but this falls down on further examination.

If you believe that side B is correct and side A is incorrect given your deep understanding of the issue then an argument for side A is in some way not intelligent because you must keep out your most potent arguments for side B from your argument for side A - you must deny their existence in your head and thus argue from a less intelligent position than you normally would.

The ability to argue both sides is only really possible when all sides are considered trivial in their differences.

I suspect people are meaning different things when they say "capitalism". Most of its detractors are against corporate cronyism, which I think almost everyone is against. I also think the effects of that cronyism are unfairly attached to capitalism when, as you are alluding to, there's nothing in capitalism itself about the specifics people complain about in the status quo.

Here's capitalism: a recognition of certain human rights (oriented around property) and a thesis that crowd-sourcing economic choices is better than centrally controlling them. I'd be interested in hearing someone who is against capitalism argue against either of those things.

No, that wouldn't help.

Please look at the picture: you can see a neutrino detector being held. But what's also very important to detect neutrinos is shielding from every other type of radiation, so that you can differentiate between neutrino radiation and everything else. The shielding is done by metallic (likely, lead) bars around the detector. The shielding is much more massive than the detector.

Another point: in the article they say that they have detected a 136 neutrino events over 461 days. So you can transfer one bit ~10 days. Neutrino detector sensitivity scales linearly with volume. Now imagine if you scale down your ~5-10 liter detector to a volume of 0.2 liters (a fliphone volume).

Which is to say, not doable.

There's nothing in capitalism itself about concentrated wealth. Or are you saying the term is being misapplied?

I don't see China's embracing of green as ironic. They see the future. They understand where the need of the market it going. Most importantly, they understand oil's day is over. They'd rather shift to green than waste recources on wars for oil. China isn't stuck in the (at best) 20th century (in this regard).

No doubt China is interested in power and influence. They difference is they'd prefer to conquer economically rather than with military force. So far, that's working quite well for them.

https://www.scaruffi.com/news/opin0712.html

Caveat emptor: Scaruffi doesn't hesitate to let his imagination far surpass his apparent handle on the facts, but hey they are just opinions, so let's not ruin the fun too easily.

"I reached the conclusion that the meat diet started with cannibalism: we ate humans before we ate animals. And cannibalism started with women eating their own children, and children eating their grandparents.

Cats do it all the time: when they cannot afford too many kittens, the mom eats some of them. If she didn't, it would reduce the chances that the others survive. Since they are YOUR children, you don't feel too bad eating them: they are flesh of your flesh, aren't they?

You have to think like a woman of two million years ago, who was pregnant all the time, did not know how to prevent pregnancy nor how to perform abortion, and had to feed many children, often with no male partner to help out.

The tradition of eating old people is documented in many cultures: nothing was wasted, and it would have been silly to waste the flesh of a dead person.

Once you start eating your own family members, it becomes natural to start eating other humans. In prehistory (and even not too long ago) humans from other tribes were not perceived as belonging to the same species: they don't speak my language, their customs are different, they smell different, therefore they are not the same species as me. Killing them and eating them was not any more morally wrong than eating a hamburger today.

The main meal was brains: our brains need a lot of proteins, and another brain gives the highest amount of proteins in the shortest time. Hence the tradition of killing an enemy and eating his brain.

Then cost/benefit analysis made humans realize that humans were difficult and dangerous to kill, whereas many animals were easy to kill and provided almost the same proteins. That's when domestication started: feeding on defenseless cows and goats was a lot safer than feeding on humans armed with spears and axes. That's when cannibalism became a thing of the past, of primitive men. However, it was still practiced (and valued) until recently in many places of the world.

We are living in the first age free of cannibalism in the history of the human species. It's an age just a few decades old. The age of cannibalism lasted several million years. Put things in perspective and, as repugnant as it sounds today, cannibalism can be said to be the norm, and non-cannibalism the abnormality. If some day the whole world becomes vegetarian, you the meat eater will look like a savage but today you think of vegetarians as lunatic people.

There are 1500 animal species that are cannibals, and 75 of them are mammals, and one of them is the chimp, our closest relative. And now you may continue to eat your hamburger."
