That assumes that maximum life expectancy would stay the same if you could live that maximum life with greater health.

If there is a mechanism in our bodies that creates an artificial maximum of life, like a telomere - then you would be right.

It also could be possible that avoiding the frailty of age means the avoidance of death. Stay healthy and you stay alive.

That's not a very fair comparison. And while I'm sure MacOS isn't exactly cheap I never encountered a situation where I had to use some piece of software that required me to run MacOS.

For what it's worth I was mainly thinking of the Linux/BSDs that I actually want to use when given the choice

It's free forever, easily customizable to fit my various needs, from embedded barebones application to media server to workstation. I actually own and control the OS (my debian doesn't upgrade to a new version behind my back) and I can even dig into the code if I want to.

I'd sooner give 100 euros to the FreeBSD fountation than 10 euros to MS frankly. I gave them enough money indirectly already with all these prebuilt computers I've bought in the past decades which came with Windows preinstalled, only for me to immediately wipe them with something else.
Allowing Google to remember it for you wholesale for modernization and experimentation doesn't seem like a good deal for what you get.

Also, when Google pulls out because they don't know how to budget for most of their experiments after one year will still allow them to keep your data.
Can you point to a working example of this that actually solves the problem? i.e., that is demonstrably more efficient for any given request than the FIFO wakeup method?
Google and Cisco announce hybrid cloud partnership
This is a modern version of giving cable companies local monopoly for internet connectivity. And we've seen how bad that has gotten in terms of the ISPs controlling the local politicians. How much more would a company like Google control the local politicians when it would be in charge of many more things than just providing citizens with internet connectivity?
Isn't this just the equivalent of saying Disney wants to run Disney EPCOT, don't let it? Or that Google wants to run a Campus, don't let it? It seems like he's arguing if you live in Canada, Sidewalk will become your mayor automatically without any choice on your part which seems a distortion.
It seems like FaceID is an epic pain compared Touch. Most consumers do not care about the 1/50K vs 1/1000k stats. They care about having to put an internet square to their face for access. To me this seems like a huge mistake for Apple. Lack of a home button also seems like a mistake. Both will likely confuse and annoy long time customers and should've been solved with an ergonomic button on the back.
Well you've convinced me, if I need to buy an OS to run Windows programs, it sure won't be MacOS.
Number one root cause: The (non)Federal Reserve system.

The big things as a result of it are what caused it. Debt is inversely proportional to freedom, and the wealthy have gobbled up so much of what allowed us to prosper in the first place.

People that always go on about taxes or the budget deficit etc need to realize the fed is a root causal issue here.

Also, two more points. I think the fed is unconstitutional, and I think Hammurabi had it right that such a system requires regular debt jubilees.
A surprising amount of people want to be in North Korea
I've argued before, though, that I can't fault companies for using them. When someone hands you a get-out-of-jail-free card, you take that thing and hold on to it. It would be a special kind of lunatic who wouldn't.

The logic is this: "Look, you just need to add this handful of lines to your agreement, and you've instantly got protection against money-grubbing, ambulance-chasing lawyers who would come after you because you misplaced a parenthesis. The cost is nearly zero, because nobody reads those contracts anyway, and anybody who makes a stink about it is probably one of those money-grubbing, sue-happy customers you don't want, anyway."

So, yeah. I get it. I hate it, but I get it. To change it is going to require a consumer backlash large enough to impact congress -- not just the CFPB. But consumers aren't making enough noise, because of course, nobody reads those contracts anyway...
The fragment

BEGIN{total=0}

can be skipped (at least in the awk's I've used, not sure if some more recent / strict awk differs), because awk initializes the variable total to 0.

I remember this because I do this all the time to quickly get the (non-recursive) sum of the sizes of the files in a directory - it's pretty much muscle memory from a while now:

ls -l | awk '{ s += $5 } END { print s/1024 " KB" }'

For recursive size, one can use ls -lR or the du command with various options according to need.
It's still extremely useful for those of us in industries where change comes veeerrrryyyy slooowwwly. For instance, most production servers I work with are still on Python 1.5.2 if they have Python at all - but awk, that I can depend on!
I get that you're being sarcastic. But what's your actual point?
I think I’ll probably be ok, mostly because I won’t have children. I don’t understand how people do that these days, unless they have a lot of help from the grandparents. Suddenly you need a bigger house and it needs to be in a good school district, or pay out the ass for private schools. And then it all just gets worse from there.
Even on *nix, anaconda is a godsend for those who don't have sudo and have to install everything in their home directories, without spending a godawful amount of time digging themselves out of dependency hell.
If you just want to count unique IPs, you can get that in awk alone and avoid sort:

awk '{ip[$1]=1}; END{ print length(ip) }'

Use the hash tables directly, assuming you've got the memory. That should be slightly faster as it avoids the sort.
On one hand, I don't see how this is different than any of the other numerous influences we have in our cities through corporate lobbies. To suggest that the way we live is solely due to the good nature of elected representatives is naive.

On the other hand, maybe Google is flexing a little much here. I sincerely believe them that they have peoples' best interests at heart - because that will eventually be beneficial to Google as well. But inserting a little more competition here I think would lend itself a long way.

FB thinks about apps like tv channels. If you look at the top 10 free apps all of them are owned by either Facebook, google or Snapchat (they own Bitmoji).

TBH was the only app in the top
10 not owned by one of these 3 so the acquired it.

TBH could be a feature of either Facebook or Instagram in the same way that most of the history channels content could be just shows on other tv channels.

These things exist or will continue to exist as separate entities because it’s more profitable that way.
The same (concerns) can be said of other ways of life though. For example, I live in an area that used to be basically all farmland. Slowly but surely, city people have moved out and crowded out all the farmers. Those new suburbanites voted/continue to vote to increase taxes for roads, rail, great schools, etc. But from the perspective of the farmer, I can imagine many of them are bitter that they had to sell their multi-generational family farm.

Given that and many other similar scenarios (ex. gentrified city neighborhoods), the broader problem is that...

- Different groups of people have different interests (some want low taxes, some high. some want single family houses with nice back yards, others mixed use walkable urban utopias)

- Groups (mostly ones with more money) can swiftly move to a new area and disrupt the previous political power structure

It's definitely possible that the old residents can move to a new place. In fact, I think that this is the only real answer.

Anything else comes off as a violation of people's basic rights. You can't really expect to take people's votes away. You can't really prevent people from selling their property to who they want (except in an HOA scenario).

Actually, maybe that is a way out. More aggressive HOA communities that make sure residents have a shared vision for their town.

Heads of state tend to have staffs watching them all day, so they don't fall and break their hips, and drivers so they don't get into car accidents, and they get immediately rushed to the hospital every time they have even so much as a cold.

>This only highlights the moral emptiness and naked corruption of the modern GOP.

So surely you're just as angry about the Democrats deregulating the telecoms in 1996 and allowing companies to own entire vertical chains. (Comcast owns everything from the News, to the pipe you get it from. Ever notice how they never mention "big corporations are killing America" anymore?)

The GOP hates you. The Democrats _pretend_ not to. If that weren't the case, you'd think 8 years under Obama and near-universal public support behind him... things would have actually you know... gotten better.

Too bad they were too busy letting Wall Street destroy the economy without jailtime, giving guns to Mexican cartels, spying on and threatening journalists, drone strikes on US citizens, unprecedented exponential growth in classified documents (cover my ass, anyone?), using the IRS as a political wing, and hunting down and smearing both Snowden and Julian Assange. (Props for the ACA, though. Except that also had no provision to stop healthcare insurance companies rapidly increasing, insane prices that make even ACA plans unaffordable to poor people--I would know. Minimum of $350 a month isn't a viable healthcare plan, as it continues to rise ~10% a year. But fixing pre-existing conditions was About Damn Time(TM), so again, props to them.)

p.s. I voted for Obama, so yeah, I do get to bitch about the disparity between what he said, and what he did.
> When a courier arrives with a package for in-home delivery, they scan the barcode, sending a request to Amazon’s cloud. If everything checks out, the cloud grants permission by sending a message back to the camera, which starts recording. The courier then gets a prompt on their app, swipes the screen, and voilà, your door unlocks. They drop off the package, relock the door with another swipe, and are on their way. The customer will get a notification that their delivery has arrived, along with a short video showing the drop-off to confirm everything was done properly.

So, you only need a valid smart card, a working Amazon courier app and a balaclava to gain an unencumbered access to any of these homes?
This has been an interesting conversation but we are clearly talking past each other.

When you say something like : "As for relative cost, that’s a big reason why ICBMs took on such a prominent role: once the technology was worked out, they were much cheaper than bombers." I realize you continue to discuss this as an engineer might, how many lines of code to make a compiler versus an interpreter for example. Your statement is both correct and completely irrelevant in the context of the world we live in with its current treaties.

We are forbidden, by treaty, from making any additional ICBMs, no matter what they cost. As a nation we abide that treaty because we believe that doing so is in the best interests of the existence of the world.

In doesn't seem particularly useful to discuss an alternate world unconstrained by such treaties as the general consensus has been to date that such a world is short lived.

Your comment reminds me of a documentary about bike gangs and mafia rivalry. As it turns out, people prefer having the bike gangs take over mafia businesses. Even though they are more or less the same, the former delivers its "services" in a cleaner and cheaper way.

I guess we can say the same here too.
[3A] awk '/start_regex/,/end_regex/ {print}'

can be simplified to:

awk '/start_regex/,/end_regex/'

because in awk, if no action is given, the default action is to print the lines (that match the pattern). And if the pattern is omitted but the action is given, it means do the action on all lines of the input.

Edited to change:

print the line (that matches the pattern)

to

print the lines (that match the pattern)

There was Vega shortage for some time, but now it looks better. Huge demand from miners clearly affects it.
You can always use awk with IFS/OFS values to clean up the delimiters so you can pass the data off to cut ;-)

From what I remember, the overall smartphone sales in China is stagnating and Apple's marketshare is shrinking.
And on the other end of the spectrum, it's becoming relevant again in container ops. A random container is not likely to have a Python, Ruby or even Perl, but if it has a shell, it most certainly also has an awk. Even Alpine has one in their busybox.
Doing the math on this 5.4 netwons in 108 kilowatts would give you a maximum exhaust velocity of 38 km/s which is in line with what you expect from a Hall effect thruster. You can get much higher exhaust velocities (and thus more fuel efficient engines) from gridded ion engine but that requires more power for a given thrust and the wear on the grid is a concern.

I'm not really sure why it's important that we have big hall thrusters, though? My impression was that you could just keep adding more of these to a spacecraft if you needed to.

I don’t know whether to be disheartened or comforted that their approach to hiring is basically the same as their approach to customer service.
Yes, that is the literal meaning of the word. However, when a government holds an agency "accountable", it is exerting influence over it. "Accountable" agencies have their effectiveness swing wildly depending on the current governing party's whims. "Unaccountable" agencies, like the Federal Reserve and the United States Supreme Court, carry on doing what they do regardless of whatever nonsense Congress is doing this week.

Generally good advice, but can be OK in specific situations where you have a known HTML structure and are just scraping some values out of it. This is not so much parsing HTML as it is matching the patterns of the values you want to extract.
I don't see how Face ID is inherently an "epic pain" unless you're building in the assumption that it doesn't work well. If you instead assume that it works fairly well and your device is unlocked when you look at it, it seems that it could be much more convenient in many scenarios than Touch ID. Like when you're wearing gloves, when your finger might be dirty/wet, etc..

I've used Touch ID since inception, and I can honestly say that I'm excited to explore the different set of tradeoffs that Face ID will bring. What I will grant you is that we don't actually know how well it works yet, but we will soon.
In amazons bid to take over the last mile, they’ve done a measure to their reputation. They accept terrible drivers who have failed out of Uber and have been caught doing a number of things ranging from stealing to vandalizing to shitting in bushes and doing heroin on customers’ front porches. It’s hard to imagine how they could have gotten it any worse than some of their contractors like OnTrac, but they certainly did. And there’s no way in hell I would ever let an Amazon Flex driver in my front door.
Consider some portable password manager stored on a usb drive.
I agree. It should show more info on the homepage as to what I'm signing up for along with some demos. I also feel that the price is a bit steep. It's not far off Shopify's pricing which has a lot more features.

It also feels very similar to https://gumroad.com/ which is far more established, has many more features and is less expensive.

There was no argument being made here. Just some frivolous claim that since Google is a big scary ambitious company and unelected we should be worried. No. Back up your absurd claim with evidence. 1) Who's to say that "elected" is the best approach for humanity's benefit? Has a double blind study ever been done? Some dictatorships have flourished while most have floundered. 2) An elected government is working in partnership with with a company (Google) to develop a part of it's jurisdiction. Is the author proposing the government should do it all it's self? Canadian city governments aren't in the business of developing anything. They contract or provide permits. How is this different than the city giving any other developer a permit to build?

> the iPhone 8 is pretty underwhelming

The 8 might well be a 7s, in all but name, but is hardly underwhelming as compared other incremental iPhone releases in my view.

For me, it's a bigger improvement to my everyday use of the device by a mile than:

6: larger screen (maybe an exception for this reason)

6s: 3d touch; 2nd gen touch ID

7: jack-less; splash proof; shiny option

8: Heavier/premium feel, wireless charging, much bigger performance bump than usual

The 8 is the first phone where the phone can pretty much keep up with my thoughts, which makes it an incredibly different experience. The rhythm of using the device is just an order of magnitude different.

The 8 is forgettably underwhelming on its spec sheet (except speed), a marvel and delight in person. Bottom line for me is that the spec sheet is increasingly irrelevant to my satisfaction with a device.

I also have zero desire to be the guinea pig for all the new stuff on trial in the X.

The key benefit for me, and the reason I use it for my personal projects, is that it makes it easy to deploy the app. The Dockerfile is basically a list of commands, to install packages, copy files over etc once you have that and build it into an image. You can then do docker run from anywhere on any os and expect consistent results.

You could try https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/what-is-kuberne... for now.

Kubernetes is basically a wrapper around Docker. It adds a lot of functionality but it's main job is handling the scheduling/management of Docker containers.
