This might work until the bulk of users, like me, get so many "drip" emails a day that I have the opposite reaction to these types of "plain" emails.
They are also contributing to proprietary software that uses their software.

Being against that, is a dogmatic approach that accepts no contributions to the cause that also help other causes because only the cause may win.

I'm not really for it, but I understand where RMS and his allies are coming from. Proprietary software makers tend to view their competitors, free or otherwise, as an existential threat, so it is "fair" for the free software folk to view them via the same lens.
I think it's more that the settings in which you use (and buy) MDMA is closer to "harder" drugs than weed.

Also it gets you into the whole party lifestyle. I've personnally used it only twice a few years ago, but the people I took it with (most of us first timers) now spend a huge amount of time planning their trips and talking about drugs, and moved on to LSD and different mixes. Tbh I think it's sad that this has become such a big part of their fun. I enjoyed it, and it definitely changed me, but even though I don't worry at all for them, I don't think that's a very sane way to spend week ends.

I've never been interested in smoking weed, and my edible experience was not fun enough to encourage me to continue there either. But still, I didnt feel so "close" to the drugs world when I was hanging around stoner friends than party-goers.
The only offering I've seen close to parallels level of functionality is Veertu, which is a seemingly abandoned product since they released their CI tool Anka.

When I last tested it, Veertu wasn't reliable enough to suggest even as a $0 option.
I still have and use my Zune HD and I love it: the UI is fast and fluid, battery is decent (after 7 years!), sound quality is good, it's a pleasure to use.

Also, I can just place it in the dock and use it at home (or even for watching videos, up to 720p)
the unix x86_64 userspace abi guarantees that the 128 bytes (known as the red zone) above the stack pointer are guaranteed not to be clobbered by signal handlers. This an optimization that avoid the need for leaf functions to manipulate the stack pointer to allocate their stack frame.

The linux kernel does not follow this part of the ABI, so the compiler needs to be told that there is no red zone or functions will randomly see their stack frame clobbered by interrupt handlers.

An operating system exports abstract facilities such as hardware, storage and other useful bits to other software we call applications. How you get there doesn't matter, what you do once you are there makes the difference.

I read a lot of documents online, and many of those in PDF (often scanned), ePub, or other formatted presentations.

Reading those on a large (9") tablet is doable, in 1-up portrait mode. Reading on a large retina desktop display works -- 2-up mode with excellent resolution.

Reading them on a laptop suck balls. At a 9:16 aspect ratio with 1080 px height, both font and resolution are too low to read clearly. And unless you've got a hybrid laptop (I've been looking at options online, but they strike me as overly fussy and asking for trouble), no-go.

At a higher dot-pitch, this might work, but it's pretty iffy.

Surprisingly, other than the OS and applications, a tablet makes a suprisingly good mobile device. Samsung's announcement that they'll be supporting Linux installs is promising. The other side of this that needs addressing badly is standardising keyboard and case form-factors.

A tablet (display + brains), self-supporting folio case, and bluetooth keyboard isn't quite perfect, but it's quite good. In reality, keys are falling off and/or getting disabled on the keyboard, the tablet itself cannot run a real OS, I'm fighting Android, and virtually the entire App ecosystem is worse than useless.

Did they actually have anything to do with this at all? My impression was not, and that they basically just commented on it.
I was turned on to “no design” newsletters by Jeff Bezos’ updates on Blue Origin. They read and feel like a personal note from him, even though I know I’m just an entry on a big list.

Since then, I’ve made all important announcements to my company’s customers via this “personal”, no-design style. The reply-to is my direct email address, which I think deepens the personal touch of this style, and prevents me from abusing this format for marketing spam (since I inevitably get a few dozen replies from customers every time I send an email like this).

On the note of this style being more effective just because it’s different: There’s certainly an element of that, but I don’t think a really personal-feeling email can work for frequent marketing emails. First, I think the real reply-to is a critical part of a “personal” email, and second, I think companies will understand that this style works better when reserved for infrequent communication that you really want read. At our company, our standard marketing goes out designed. But when I want to announce a new product or feature, I’ll send it out just like an email from my outbox (plus the mandatory unsubscribe link). My customers read those emails more than any others, and I’ve never had a bad response.
I used to think that. But I have the strange feeling we have much more untapped potential than a meteor or a volcano. Call it a hunch.
The sad thing that they will learn which my wife's school learnt was that, as a union employee, you are no longer a student. That is, all the tax breaks, ability to not pay SS, etc. all those fees come right back. In the end, they raised student wages but the take home pay was cut. Then they paid union dues...
It's not a separate long process because there's only one decision maker. You basically need a good landing page and a working product's demo. Sometimes a client asks a question in support before a purchase but most of the purchases are without direct communication.
Maybe machines are too fast today. Back in the 70s, even departmental computers were slow. This might have forced better engineering choices onto the product designers.

The difference between and O( n log n) algorithm and an O(n^2) one could have made the difference between a decent product and a totally unusable one.

Nowadays, toy examples can seem to work fine even when the products have really terrible implementations.

Unions work out pretty well in retail and hotel trades where there is a mix of high turnover and longish tenure people.

When I worked retail in high school and college, one of my employers was a union shop. It was nice in that there was less abusive and capricious scheduling behavior. I moved up to a level where I saw store P&L and the economics looked to be about the same — but it was more equitable and predictable for the employees.

Funny, I just posted a Show HN yesterday with another technique for increasing click/open rates [1]. Maybe some of the people reading this will find it interesting as well. The "design" is also very similar.

I am at a university (Michigan) where the union is primarily for graduate students that teach. I could not tell from the writeup, but it sounds like this is for _all_ graduate students at UChicago.

Being in an engineering department, I never had an issue with having to teach a heavy load of classes. But, some of my friends in humanities departments had a teaching load of - 6+ hours of classroom time + discussions + grading long papers - for classes of 50+ students. Being part of the union allowed them to put pressure on their departments that they needed to hire other TAs so that they could focus on their research and not spend additional years writing their dissertation.

I don't think being part of a union is going to stop any motivated student from doing their own research. And part of joining the union is to ensure that their members do receive a good stipend and have their health insurance paid for while maintaining a reasonable teaching load.
I agree with this. Though if you are at the stage when you want an updated design, I could probably help you. Contacts in my profile

I am regularly on the lookout for one which plays opus/flac plus the usual other formats and has much more than 4G storage, but I fear this type of gadget will die out before long.

Or hopefully the Arduino and Raspberry type of hardware gets small enough that I can build my own (with which I will probably never be allowed on an airplane).

> Recently, I became fixated on the idea of someone using a Zune in 2017, which I found absolutely hilarious for reasons even I don't fully understand. What must it be like? Does the modern-day Zune owner feel like a gadget-toting John the Baptist in a desert of Apple products, vaping and sermonizing on Radiohead?

Not everyone lives under your paradigm of brand-tribalism, and of those who do, not all subscribe to your particular tribe.

> To my surprise, my inbox was soon filled with emails from people who claim to still use, and love, their Zunes.

Of course you were surprised. How can there be so many painfully unhip people in this world? I bet they don't even live in a hip city. Couldn't tell the difference between a cortado and a flat white, am I right?

I understand ad hominems are generally not cool, but seeing as the author's contributions to this article are, in typical Vice fashion, devoid of anything other than breathless, sneering, self-important cultural 'commentary', I find it harder to take the high road.
I am well aware of that. This explanation is kind of insulting. Furthermore, I cited my source. If people are that concerned, then look up the original study instead of "helpfully" busting my chops. If you find it was misrepresented, then let me know what your source is.

One of the problems here is all the guys will readily agree with each others anecdotal evidence while requiring me to have scientific proof that my sexuality works the way I say it does. That's really obnoxious to deal with repeatedly in the same discussion.

Anyway, I am going to bed now.

Email is killing your team. Here’s how to save it
You can remap the keyboard at will in either console or Xorg via software utilities.

Consolekeys (I think that's still it) for console, xmodmap for Xorg.

Generally, Xorg will prompt you for the desired layout anyhow.

Mind, the labeling on the physical keyboard itself may not match. I generally don't even look at the keyboard when typing, so that's not an issue.
Why would Linux even been a reason for low resolution? Plenty of software supports hi-dpi.

Each email went out to 12,000 people. 125 opened the unstyled mail, 37 opened the styled mail. That result seems pretty significant to me.
Probably because the first only protects your right to speak, not to read. Querying a database isn’t expression.
I responded to another comment along this line of thought. I took a relatively common "STEM" view until I joined a fellowship cohort with some students in humanities. Their teaching loads were completely ridiculous as grad students and they seemed to have a nearly abusive relationships with their departments because of it.

Email marketing is such a thankless process, with really low conversion of any sorts and irritation the usual emotion associated with it. Having sent several cold campaigns and reported on (sorry) we just stopped it entirely. Unless you have a credible brand sending emails is like having a twitter handle.
And back in the day TV was mostly passive. smartphone lets you choose what and when you want to do things.

If one looks at mental illness evolution, one might guess how different generations are across time; not necessarily caused by smartphones but surely and indicator of a generation's mental health.
I agree but given that the technology is the product here, they’re in a bit of a different situation. Evaluating the technology is evaluating the product here.
On many of the points he raises, no - they're not racist, they're factually correct, and point (IMO) to socio-economic and cultural problems. For example, the known issue about measured IQ in the black population being > 1 std dev less than the mean for the rest of the USA.

Having read through the material posted, though, it's clear he supports the idea of racial profiling and similar; literally judging individuals in part by their membership of a racial group, which is the very definition of racism.

I'm in the process of penning a blog post which will go into this in more detail, and which I'll invite him to comment on. I like to think (Don Hopkins' fearful warnings to the contrary) that he is a mostly reasonable person who could be convinced to change his opinion.

It will also contain a strong rebuttal of his points around agency and consent in the casting couch article, which are dangerously wrong.

So yes. With the caveat that it applies to only a subset of his stated opinions on race - I apologise and withdraw.
Academia's politics

Does this refer to political attitudes typically associated with faculty?

And this to decisions made by university administrators?

If so, then no, I don't expect one to apply to the other.
>If everyone started sending marketing emails like this, then they would start looking like advertisements, they would feel less personal, spam and "promotional" filters would adapt, and you'd be back to square 1.

True, but this is the case for every other marketing technique also. There will never be one permanent "best" way to get the most attention from readers for exactly this reason. The article does seem to miss this aspect. Plain email is currently probably a reasonable move in certain cases, in the ongoing dance of trying to get things read.

I do agree, though, that using plain email to avoid being filtered as a promotional message is not a respectful out very useful angle. I'd prefer to receive lightly formatted newsletters that work fine on mobile and were identified as marketing on my devices.
yup, "also" meaning "in addition". Dash is not free either, and I'm not its coauthor

It's definitely possible to use a CNC machine to mill the shape of a rocket engine. You can do some pretty crazy internal milling with a 5-axis machine:

https://youtu.be/RnIvhlKT7SY?t=14s

But the problem isn't the shape of the bell at all. It's that the wall of the bell is not solid, but hollow, filled with plumbing.

http://heroicrelics.org/info/f-1/f-1-thrust-chamber.html

The fuel actually flows through the pipes and voids in the red-hot engine, where it absorbs the heat that would otherwise melt the engine. It then flows back up to be burned.

You'd need an endoscope, not a robot arm, to mill that out!

And neither an endoscope (obviously) nor a robot arm would likely be rigid enough to mill in these materials. Robot arms are typically only used when milling wood, plastic, or soft modeling materials. A CNC mill in metals like the exotic Nobium alloys used in these engines needs incredible rigidity which robot arms just don't have. Consider the hardened tool-steel shafts of the end mills used in the first video - and those are easily broken, while just cutting aluminum!

The advantage of the WeWork system is the convenience of quickly getting office space on a monthly-basis without dealing with internet for as well for example. What I have noticed that they do not cater to remote workers small start ups any longer, instead they are renting out whole floors to fortune 500 companies. I agree with others, the meeting room system is a rip-off, which is why no one is using it and people are simply squatting in those rooms.

Overall it works for me after 2 years in three different locations, there are certainly a few issues:
- cooling (Miami) is either way too cold or not working at all and often comes with deafening noise
- their employees are often not trained well enough, presumably due to rapid expansion
- coffee is absolutely awful (maybe acceptable for American standards)
- annoying tech bros sponsored by their parents
- events that are geared towards the above (beer pong, really?)
- getting spammed by people who think networking means sending everyone unsolicited messages offering their services
- noise from people who apparently don't have to work and aggregate in the hallways instead

Decentralization is just an affirmation until they fix the network lock in problem. You're still married to whatever instance you sign up with. The admin limits who you can federate with, and if the policy changes, it requires you to rebuild from scratch if you want to move.

That's what's keeping platforms like Twitter on top even though many of its prolific users now sound more like an abused spouse than anything else.

I still think the vast majority of this concern over abuse is a red herring though. People just don't like it when their curated bubble is pierced by information that contradicts it, and they confuse being corrected with persecution and social status games.
Especially when the news is full of sex abuse stories from Sports, Academia, Newsrooms, Movie Production, Presidential Elections ...

You can have 224 cores and 12TB RAM in a commodity Supermicro box.
I could imagine some technology that takes advantage of future layers not being there yet to validate the most recent layer on the same pass, and the one that the current layer will be built upon (as that might have suffered in the time since it has been laid) in a way that is exclusive to this manufacturing method. But as you move to bigger and bigger one-piece parts, you would probably also want your process to support undoing a few layers on failure detection to forego scrapping the whole part.
Education is key. Having observed the recent conversation around campus rape I realized that some of my behavior when I was younger was very gray area. Alcohol and lust dominated my thought processes in those situations, and it never occurred to me that my partner might feel differently about it later. Fortunately, as far as I know none of my partners ever felt taken advantage of, but if someone had sat me down and explicitly told me that a very drunk woman might not be able to give consent, I think I would have acted differently. We should be teaching young men and women where to draw the line, since it isn't always obvious in the heat of the moment.
