You may find that harsh, but it’s reality. Doing what the author suggested (producing low quality cheap crap) may sound more sensitive, but in my mind is unethical.

I don't think anyone claimed it didn't support Unicode. Only that it allowed mixing bytes / strings and the default type most people used from the beginning was str. That's a trap that they'll regret the moment they actually need to handle something outside of Latin-1.

Lots of python 2 code out there fails because the default option was simple but bad. I know, because my name broke the CI pipelines in a few different projects.

One thing Mozilla should consider is shifting to a non-commercial operational model entirely. Assume a Patreon-like campaign that attracts 500k patrons paying $10 / month each. That results in a $60M annual revenue, enough to sustain a meaningful company.

It's still only 10% of their current annual revenue (which is closer to half a billion USD), but I would argue that becoming completely independent from any commercial incentives might be worth this sacrifice.

I agree to some extent as to how education is a barrier some minorites can't pierce, but those statistics seem pretty reasonable. roughly half of all students (though there seems to be a slightly lower-than-average retention in black males) in general drop out fro various reasons. Maybe the breakdown of reasons reveal some racism, but that isn't something you see at face value.

I think the larger problem causing the social divide is getting in to begin with, as opposed to retention.

Understanding Power BI (business intelligence)
Self Service BI is a form of business intelligence wherein the end users can design reports as per analysis, play with data chunk without knowing actual programming and SQL queries, save and deploy the reports without any assistance of IT staff.

Power BI is a self-service business intelligence solution with interactive visualizations capabilities. It offers many business analytics tools to analyse and visualize the data. It can be used to make highly interactive reports and dashboard. Power BI dashboards are updated in real time and are available on different devices. Excel spreadsheets, on-premises data sources, big data, streaming data, and cloud services; all these can be connected to Power BI with ease. Users can easily explore underlying data behind dashboard using interactive tools.

I have plenty of experience with linux on laptops and windows.

Yes it is very nice to have 1, 2 or even 5 Laptops which work with linux.

Windows still runs on more devices, better.

I had never the issue, that i had to sit it out that a specific bug came into the release cycle of a windows update but i had this 4 times in 3 years with arch linux.

And i also have a strange experience with linux: One ssd does work flawless under windows and under linux it creates minilags of the whole system.

While i like my linux machine and i use it daily @work and also daily @private laptop, it takes more effort and more knowledge than windows.

Fedora is not kinda beta branch of RHEL.

Fedora is a fast-moving distribution, similar to non-LTS Ubuntu.

RHEL is a long-term supported distribution (way longer than LTS Ubuntu). It is for machines that you want to set up and forget about their existence.

The difference is in target audience and the intent, what their machines have to do.

More proper designation would be, that RHEL is a fork of Fedora, that is being supported long-term.

FreeBSD has commercial support from iXsystems.

FreeBSD (and perhaps some other BSDs) support “top-end” Ethernet as well. There was a great post on the Netflix blog a couple of months ago (discussed on HN) about how Netflix optimized their systems to serve video at 100Gbps.

FreeBSD does not support Infiniband, afaik.

It's interesting to see how the US citizen ordering the product of a back alley company in Shenzhen via Alibaba is supposed to recoup his damages. It's impossible, period.

With wired IoT devices: segment your home network, always use a trusted gateway application and never allow your IoT devices direct WAN access. With wireless devices, all bets are off, since you don't know at all who can access them (i.e. they can interpret WiFi frames in unassociated state directly in silicon, and you'll never now, even if your stack is completely open source) if they are in the vicinity.
I think it can work hand-in-hand; general support via LSP and tight coupling with additional augmentation.

NET: WinAPI – A Simple CLR Library for High-Performance Win32 Native Interop
> Chrome completely dominated them on the simple basis that it was _really fast_.

It isn't that simple - a lot of Chrome's success came because they "made it work" in ways that Firefox (horribly wasteful of CPU, memory, battery life) and IE (shambles in every department) didn't. Also helped in large part by having an enormous web monopoly pushing it and favouring it for their properties.

But you're definitely right that it came after them.
I'm ok with the philosophy but I don't think a web browser (any of them) need to receive this amount of money. It's a simple web browser. We don't need other special features, just a simple fast browser. I'm currently making my own text based browser, I hate how many pictures, spam that I get when I only care about the text.
You can use firefox mobile instead of chrome on your mobile device to get the bookmark/history syncing with desktop firefox.
I was about to defend it, but on reflection, windows 10 is a real mixed bag.

Pros:

- It's fantastically fast, I dislike going back to win 7

- Some of the utilities are nicer

Cons:

- Random scheduled tasks fire in the background at really annoying times. I installed a completely clean install of win 10 and some fail and then constantly re-run as they've not been marked as completed (e.g. .net 32-bit optimization service, some sort of memory optimization service). On my desktop I don't notice, but on my laptop if I leave it unattended the fan often starts going crazy. I've tried fixing the broken services but never really got to the bottom why. What's most annoying is the when you then try and disable or replace these services with dummy exes, windows update will "helpfully" "fix" them and re-enable them. There are also various scheduled tasks that automatically re-enable themselves on restart. It was also constantly trying to run one windows update that kept failing and it never told me, but would go through the whole rigmarole of doing incredibly expensive windows update trying to install this one driver.

- New start menu is bad, it's simply just not as usable as win 7, you end up always searching where win 7 seem to just be easier to quickly find things without typing anything

- Tiles are generally annoying

- New windows apps are annoyingly fancy and touch screen centric, for example there's no reason a calculator should be semi-transparent, it's actually really visually distracting

- Telem crap is incredibly user-hostile, invasive and almost impossible to get rid of

- Ctrl-alt-delete is partially broken and no longer works seamlessly. You have to do some crazy stuff like create a new desktop to get off a crashed program

- Explorer (file explorer) just seems to have become a real mess since XP and searching is agonisingly slow. Especially if you're doing it on a folder that contains bower or npm folders, in 2017 windows still struggles with long file paths
Just to turn this discussion towards the practical aspect: does anyone know if a concrete effort has been made to sound out Torvalds and the other senior kernel devs about accepting Rust into the kernel?

I would imagine that initially as PoC one can start by implementing a simple module... obviously a small portion of the Rust stdlib and runtime needs to be ported and of course rustc needs to be integrated into the kernel toolchain...

Perhaps someone has done it privately (i.e., without attempting to submit patches back to source)?

D'you you prefer spam eggs bacon and spam, or bacon eggs spam and spam? I don’t like spam. :(

I don’t know much about narrowing powers, judicial reviews or any of that. I’m not all that concerned with the EU’s specific legal setup (even though I live here). I guess judicial review is better than none, but I think it’s probably rather meaningless long term. What judicial review means and how restrictive that is is completely unpredictable, across all the times and places this kind of norm will have influence.

I’m more worried about the norms. How those norms are evolving, in a wider context. In particular, how comfortable member states will feel taking actions (for example) like the Spanish government is currently taking. How easy will it be for non-eu governments (EG Turkey, Israel, Egypt..) to justify their own actions because “it’s an international norm.” How easy it will be to get Google, FB, AWS, ISPs, etc. to do any country's dirty work, because they will all have a “compliance” department responsible for this. The self regulation that will come from a need to avoid such hassles.

Framing this the way lawyers like to frame it, as if it were an isolated rule applying narrowly and in isolation means I already lose. My eggs come with spam.

The norm being established/advanced here is the same most of these laws in most the places are advancing (1) Unlawful websites are subject to sanction (2) To investigate lawfulness and enforce sanctions, authorities can force “third parties in the digital value chain” to cooperate.

IE, any service from DNS servers, search engines, ISPs, Twitter… every part of the internet needs to with every local, national and super-national government to police every other part of the internet.

10 years ago there were no channels for IP domain blacking/seizing/de-indexing. No templates for new rules. No ways for 3rd parties to be forced to cooperate. No way to regulate the web.

This is the correct answer (especially Infiniband - and Aries on Crays)

Also NUMA is very important on supercomputers, and it works well on Linux.

The other thing worth noting is the much better support IBM has for Linux on PowerPC (2 in the top 10). I think Sunway (most powerful in the world) is a Linux shop too.
It's not really meant to replace well-performing existing editor-language integrations with a large user base and active development.

What it's awesome for is new editors and languages. If editors implement this interface they immediately have decent support for a decent number of languages, and if a language implements this it immediately has basic support in all editors supporting LSP.

Microsoft originally developed this for their Visual Studio Code and Typescript integration, both of which faced the typical challenges new editors and languages have with support.
Also, it installs exactly what you want, instead of dozens of tangentially-related "suggested packages".

So does Debian, if that's what you tell it you want (either on the config file or as a CLI argument). Even without that, while it may suggest a full MTA by default, you can ask it for another solution and it'll suggest a simple mailer (like bsd-mailx).

I don't dispute that Arch's defaults guide you to a simpler system, but it's not really hard to start from Debian netinstall and add just what you need, package by package.

Well, Chrome OS runs the same stuff as your average Linux distro, however maybe most distros don't turn on subpixel antialiasing in their FontConfig out of the box. (I don't know because I've been sharing configs between machines of the same distro for about five years).
Yes. But if the egg is making a decision can't other parts of the process, at least in theory, be serving as gate keepers as well? Thst is, it's not just the egg being selective. Selective is baked into the recieving organism (i.e., the human female).

To me that doesn't sound too far fetched and to some extent makes perfect sense.
I don't know how feasible it is but i agree, it would be a pity to have to throw away Eclim because of LSP.
Well, I remember 30 years ago you didn’t have to disable ads, Bing crap and telemetry. In fact 5 years ago all you needed to disable was shitty drivers and some trial software.
>Not only does it violate free speech, the new ability to perform website takedowns bypass proper law and order, by not leaving any ability to defend oneself in a proper court of law.

The law explicitly states itself to be a last measure when a court of law is not an option (ie, overseas or anonymous parties)

It is a last resort by consumer protection agencies when they can't use a court or the other party is unwilling to cooperate with their jurisdiction. That is not equivalent to "bypass proper law and order". It's enforcing it. That is the job of the CPA's.

>disgusting violation of free speech.

Yes but in some parts of Europe there is no Free Speech. Germany for example has Free Opinions, which is a narrower field of speech.
