I could be hostile to you right now, and you wouldn't have even requested anything from me. Hostility has nothing to do with what someone owes someone else.

Have you ever seen the soup Nazi from Seinfeld? Would you say he's not hostile because no body is owed his soup?
>that is the websites trying to control exactly how the content is consumed by the user

You seem to be arguing against the content being served by websites, and by extension, the freedom of the owners of those sites to choose to serve content you don't like. I would agree with you as far as DRM and javascript dark patterns go, when sites try to take control over the browser in ways that are harmful to users' freedom, but if someone wants to serve video or ads (useless as they are) instead of plain text, then that's entirely their right, because it's their server, and they get to decide what goes on it, not you. It's not user hostility, it's merely a decision with which you personally disagree.

Of course, once the response gets to your browser you're free to block, filter or do whatever you like to it, but user freedom is only half the equation here. Publisher freedom is important as well.

Also, in my experience, some people will consider you beholden to their wishes in perpetuity because they once gave you $5.

Patreon helps get around that by requiring a monthly commitment. I realized that one-off donations aren't worth it.
Race and socioeconomic status are two of the most important factors in your probability of success in the US. Ignoring them makes you look willfully ignorant of your privileged position in society. There's little / no correlation between geographic location and success, at least not relative to race and socioeconomic status...
The thing about CLOS accessors is that they define methods; they are not just for the sake of having the (setf (foo obj) val) shorthand.

By saying that you have an accessor x, you're writing a method called x. Actually two: x and (setf x).

You can write auxiliary methods for these: with :around, :before and :after methods you can intercept the accessor calls to do "reactive" kinds of things.
Yeah, that's not capitalism. That's government being bad.
> there's a difference between maintaining something written in a fairly popular technology and working nearly exclusively with obscure garbage

And what kind of "obscure garbage" you're working with?

And then, how did you let this happen? You were recruited to work on some
concrete software, didn't you? And if they lied to you about where you will be
working, which is a betrayal that is almost impossible to amend, why didn't
you change the jobs as soon as possible?

Given your original question, there must be something wrong somewhere with
your approach. You said that you've been in several companies (how many?).
If two or three, you most probably have had tough luck. If more, then it's
hard for me to believe that the job market around you is so full of fraud and
deception and you couldn't filter the shitty jobs out by asking how they write
their software. Europe and North America don't have it as bad as you describe.
Or maybe it's neither Europe nor America? You never mentioned your location.
The terminal has a feature called "local echo".

When you type something, it goes to the application (almost always its stdin file descriptor, but it can open /dev/tty and read that too).

When local echo is enabled, the terminal also prints what you type.

Applications that prompt for passwords simply (temporarily) disable local echo.
The Navy's investigation found that both collisions were avoidable accidents. And in the case of the USS McCain, the accident was in part caused by an error made in switching which control console on the ship's bridge had steering control

So, basically this was a reprise of the AF 447 crash at sea, where lack of clear command authority combined with a maddeningly poorly-thought-out UI resulted in a serious accident with loss of life.

At least they didn't have genuine malfunctioning hardware on top of everything else, the way the Air France crew did. They just thought they had a malfunction.

And you think voting for Trump or Brexit will deliver that? XD XD XD

Sorry for being so blunt, but you got played. I remember living in the UK prior to deeper EU integration, and it sucked. Every country had its own standards for modems and used it as a protectionist tool to keep 'foreign' technology out or at least much more expensive. You didn't have real local control, you had much more centralized control that was not structured in the interests of the general public. It was a great number for the politicians: blame anything you don't like on Brussels (even if it is self-evidently good for consumers), take credit for anything you can hang a patriotic label on, and centralize as much as possible so the people in the national government can be the big fish in the small pond, while pretending to be the heroic defenders of the pond against foreign sharks.

you see the same thing in the US - conservative politicians rail against 'big government in Washington DC' while simultaneously passing legislation that limits the ability of municipalities to govern themselves, eg by creating public fiberoptic networks or setting policies that give people more rights than the people in the state capitol wish.

I could also make critiques of liberal politicians who to some extent do the same thing at the city vs. the neighborhood level; I don't want to be partisan. But if you voted for Brexit or Trump because you believed you, the little person with no political power, would be better off then you have been fleeced and told that your political enemies are attacking you with a wind machine.

It's not the freedom-minded people who want to shut down free speech

Oh yes, those nice freedom-minded people who also want to engage in ethnic cleansing and have neo-nazis on speed dial. It's freedom for themselves, not you. See for yourself: create a few sockpuppets, go to /pol/ or wherever you like to hang out, and try expressing some polite mild opinions out of step with the rest of the forum.

PS look into how Cambridge Analytica operates and tell me these people are trying to maximize your freedom. To them you're just a vote and a voice to be harvested. You'll probably hear more about this in days to come as Robert Mercer is frantically re-organizing his financial holdings.
That's even scummier than most of the ad targeting stuff out there.
If media spin can affect people, why couldn't a corporation or foreign government do the same? I don't understand why the facts that that a large number of people want government reform and that corporate and government forces were spending money to influence the election cannot exist side by side.

You are not analogizing correctly - just because you can find a similarity or two between two things doesn't mean one is a metaphor for the other. See Hume's response to the Watchmaker Analogy[1] for more.

Life’s First Molecule Was Protein, Not RNA, New Model Suggests
I find #1 funny, in that appetite and "self-discipline" seem to be biologically inversely correlated in at least some sense. Boost dopamine (such as with the old amphetamine-based "diet pills"), and you get more control over your impulses... but also your appetite goes away, so you don't even need to exert control over it. Lower dopamine (such as with a typical antipsychotic), and you get hungry, but also find it harder to override your impulses in general. (If you're curious, this is thought to help in psychosis because "skepticism"/"being realistic" is one of the lower-level impulses that dopamine overrides.)

If self-discipline were virtuous, would the "best" exercise pill be one that only enhances self-discipline (with no stimulant-like side-effects)—and thus makes it easy to be one of those people who just "decide to exercise and eat healthy" and end up doing so? Or would people likely still consider that "cheating" in some sense? And if so, do you think such people would be able to be convinced at that point that they're literally just measuring the "virtue" of people's genetics, rather than of their choices?
Working for a startup this way would essentially turn into an angel investor, but instead of investing money you're investing your time. If you really believe in the team (grit and execution is more important than ideas IMHO) you could absolutely do this. But keep in mind that investing in startup is all about making 10 or 100 bets and hoping that while most of them will go bust some of the bets will earn outsized returns. Common wisdom is that 9 out of 10 investments go belly up but the tenth become Facebook and the whole portfolio makes a good profit.

How many startups can you invest your time in and how confident are you that you can find the startup that succeeds?

Now, if I where in your shoes, and I am in fact quite envious of the freedom you have, I would find a startup and a cause that I enjoy working with and disregard financial outcomes. Maybe see if there are technical solutions that I could help with to combat human trafficking or child pornography.
The only version of Windows XP that enforces driver signing is the unicorn 64 bit one, surely they didn't develop the driver for that?

And what kind of odds do I get on the certs having a EKU for anything but driver signing?
Amazing that someone would design in multiple steering wheels, only one of which is active, and no big indicator to make it super-obvious which one it is.

Also amazing that there's a mode where moving a control sometimes controls all engines, sometimes just one.
Agreed. This part seemed like an exaggeration to me:

> Hitting a market’s ceiling like this was something that none of my methodologies accounted for.

I worked at a bank in 2008. The biggest blowup in recent memory then was LTCM in 1997 (seems quaint now), which blew up partly because they had positions too large for the markets they were in. It is simply not credible that someone would put on a huge position in 2008 and not give any thought to the impact their own trading would have on prices.
A naive platform, sure. But then inevitably you'd end up with flaky donors and charities, pissing off people on both sides.

For something like that to become trusted and popular, it would have to be actively managed, which means both additional tooling and operations/admin staff.
Not sure whether BigchainDB implements consensus/PoW, but my attempt at building a blockchain-based database sure does. [1] Scaling a solution like that however is very difficult, and I can imagine BigchainDB aiming for applications where consensus/PoW is less needed.

It is actually clever:

- generate a fake CA and use it to sign your driver on the fly;

- add the generated root CA to the trusted list

- delete the private key so that nobody else can sign anything with this CA

- now windows will happily consider this driver as worthy of trust and install it.
One thing I loved about RailsCasts was that I could watch the video and then go back to an ASCIICast to actually review the source if I needed to implement something like it. While I don't do rails development anymore I truly miss the days of cutting my teeth on the web with Ryan.
Only good for verification of what's been signed with it before the key was deleted, which is exactly what's needed.
So basically: I know better than all the scientists that have studied the issue deeply and who keep sounding the alarm more and more urgently.
In addition to the down-votes, can someone explain to me why they think a high income phase-out of the EV rebate is not preferable to eliminating it altogether, especially if the objection to the rebate is that it subsidizes car purchases by the wealthy?

How can you be so certain? The picture alone provides no clue. It would be unheard of for a tree to grow out of someone's head, but strictly speaking not categorically impossible. In fact, for the sake of argument the only reason you're able to make that statement at all is due to your previous experience. There's nothing at all in the picture that tells you she doesn't have a tree growing out of her head.
A lot of the exercise we get is sort of implicit: it's "non-exercise activity thermogenesis" — a.k.a., fidgeting.

I'd expect a drug that "mimicked exercise" would really do so in part by making you exercise more, without realizing you're doing so: i.e., by making you fidgety (and sweaty, and achier in your joints so you'd want to stretch more, etc.)
The scale of this is baffling. They earned the entire value of Tesla or Ford in profit in the past quarter. Apple's market cap has increased almost $400b in the past 18 months.

Decentralized blockchains aren't scaleable.

Centralized blockchains on the other hand are easy to scale.

Being centralized kinda defeats the point of them though.... It's better to just have a database.
I guess we need to define more precisely what it means for a VM to "support concurrency". Based on your comment, I assume you mean that it's possible to write programs for the VM that use something like the pthreads API. But you don't need multiple CPUs or special hardware to provide the pthreads API. The "concurrent threads, shared memory" model of execution is still meaningful on a single-cpu machine.

Given a single-CPU VM, you can write an assembly program that implements context switching and the thread control block data structure. Then you write a scheduler (OK, the VM needs a timer/interrupt to trigger the scheduler). thread.start(function) allocates some stack memory and a thread control block, which contains a pointer to `function` and to the stack memory you just allocated. Then `thread.start` inserts our TCB into the scheduler queue. All this stuff is implemented as software in the VM's machine language, it is not part of the VM itself. pthread_create and the Linux scheduler are not implemented in hardware either.

I guess if you want memory protection, you would need the VM to simulate a MMU.

On the other hand, if you actually want programs on the VM to be able to run on multiple CPUs of the host machine, then I agree you need some special support in the VM to do that.

C++ design principles are already a good match for game development however. Specifically its intent to leave no room for a lower level language (except assembly) and to provide zero cost abstractions. There are lots of things C++ doesn't try to be and the are lots of languages more popular in particular domains as a result. C++ dominates game development (and particularly game engine development) because it is the best available match to the needs of that domain. It continues to try and evolve to match those needs better (that's why there's a game development focused study group SG14 on the standards committee, show me another language that takes the needs of game developers that seriously).
Healthcare in Estonia is provided to you by your employer (which is required by law, so every employer will have to pay the healthcare tax on your behalf) which will include everything you would need from healthcare. Once you reach the age of retirement, healthcare is free. In fact if you don't have a job, and I've been jobless, then it has cost me only 5 euros (a fixed fee at the registration) in a hospital to get fixed up (broken leg, broken toe, infections ..)

I'm more and more convinced that U.S simply hates its people.
> literally the only way to earn a profit is to get someone else to buy it for more than you paid.

Don't you mean figuratively? An individual who bought $10 of bitcoin a year ago would have made a profit without bringing anybody else to Bitcoin. In a pyramid scheme, the ONLY way to make money is to bring others in.
I cannot agree with this sentiment. You're basically demanding that these creators work for you, for free.

If you choose to skip the ads, then how should the creators be compensated for the content that you consumed?

"With regard to quality, it is a huge jump upwards if a podcast has no ads at all, nowhere, not even hidden or implicit. It is a really noticeable difference if the whole audio simply doesn't care about pleasing any stakeholder besides its audience."

You know what else is a huge jump in quality? Actually being able to continue to do the show.

Buffet has lost money on his bets before. Not all tosses are heads, just most of them.
I more or less cut off contact with several people I used to consider intelligent and open to facts, but they were so blinded by their politics it became pointless to argue with them. I doubt anything will change their minds at this point, which is sad. It's one thing to debate the most appropriate response to this, it is another to deny the underlying physics exist.
If both the shopper & retail store are using the same BTC exchange, or exchanges that trust each other, the exchange can just move the coins internally, which is instant. Retail outlets could also share information about scammers & create a blacklist of who not to trust, and then just accept the small amount of risk. Like you said, credit cards also have this problem but the frequency of chargebacks is low enough that retail stores do not require you to wait months before leaving the store with your goods. Even accepting cash entails the possibility of fraud. But these are good points you've made. I don't think demand is high enough that we'll see BTC go mainstream for retail, but if demand were to be high enough there are ways to make it work without waiting 10 minutes, but these would rely on exchanges & mutually trusted 3rd party agencies, which you could argue defeats the purpose of using BTC in the first place since its not decentralized but you'd still get the benefits of there being a fixed amount of BTC. People could also budget their monthly spending & transfer it ahead of time into an exchange. People already do this with checking/savings accounts, keeping some funds in checking for when they want to shop.
You can't do this on a long term scale with something that's below geostationary orbit, because random solar flares and solar phenomena cause expansion and contraction of the earth's atmosphere at unpredictable times. If you have a satellite in an orbit that is low enough to gradually degrade through atmospheric drag (even if it's a very high-LEO orbit or molniya orbit that won't reenter for an estimated 300 years), the exact time that it will re-enter can't be predicted with any confidence. At least not if you are talking about a very long time scale. Short-term (3, 5 or 7 year time scale) orbit degradation of things in LEO is predictable based on orbital height and known atmospheric density at a given altitude, but beyond that any re-entry predictions become much more fuzzy.

for reference: https://arxiv.org/abs/1305.0233

If you want to put something in orbit that will stay in a predictable location, you don't want it to re-enter at all, you want to put it in an orbit that is high enough to not be affected by atmospheric drag on a geologic time scale. Something slightly beyond geostationary will still be there in 200,000 years.
You are right, giobox: pulling an external dependency without guaranteeing its content impairs reproducibility (given that anyone else in this world uses this word in the same meaning I am. At this point I am starting to think that I am wrong).

Let me give a short example, limiting to the Dockerfile format:

RUN wget https://somehost/something.tar.gz

is not reproducible: there is no guarantee that everyone is going to end up with the same container contents.

RUN wget https://somehost/something.tar.gz && echo "123456 something.tar.gz" | md5sum -c

is reproducible, even if there is an external dependency. You can rest assured that the RUN statement either will convey the same result everyone else is having, or an error.

Similar considerations can be made for other statements (FROM something:latest, RUN apt install something, ...).
But, as I was saying, maybe my personal opinion of what is "reproducible" is a bit too strict.

I agree that using a registry & compose is very useful (and personally, do it all the time). Simply, that does not fit to the definition of reproducibility, for me.
