Taking comments into account is different than simply having an opt-in vote which translates to who's e-petition can go the most viral (and let's not even get into fraud). And this is very much a good thing. In this case, even if I might agree with having some issue with net neutrality being repealed - I think most people have no clue at all what's going on and are voting based on fear mongering and sensationalism.

For instance, what percent of people could explain why Pai thinks repealing net neutrality is a good idea? Most seem to think he's just some Trump appointee selling out the highest bidder. In fact he's been arguing for a path of deregulation for years, even before he was appointed to the FCC by Obama 5 years ago.

I tend to debate against the masses on this issue simply because I think we're acting like a mob instead of a rational collective. And even if we may be getting it right on this issue, mob mentality is something that should never be condoned - even if you side with them on an issue.
This is a major update as now the Docker daemon runs as a Windows process, not as a Linux process. One VM/container is also a huge change. Before this, you had to manage a single VM that runs all the containers, allocate memory and CPU for that whole VM, assign Hyper-V virtual switch(es) to that VM.

Basically this intends to bring Linux containers to Windows Server.

Even my mum drinks more than that :P be positive.

I think your problem is not that you drink much, is more about you might feel like you can't quit drinking. Like others have said, I would suggest you purging yourself or quiting on drinking for a short period of time so you can feel you can control your drinking and not the other way around.
On the other hand, you could always respond by saying: I expect not to be asked to do something illegal; I have no interest in working for such a company. However, I have high expectations of you, and that's why I believe I can be fully loyal to you.

Obviously, the list doesn't make sense unless you know the products mentioned and their competitors, preferably with a bit the history over the last decade(s).

The only thing all the products mentioned have in common is that they are free to use, as-in no upfront money.

There are pools to hire for any software. First, the hype is cyclical, people who worked long enough will know multiple products. Second, new comers won't know anything so they will need to be trained anyway.

If the ISP wants to be involved in monitoring and regulating (or charging differently depending) where your packets go, then they can be liable for providing child pornography, being a party to all copyright infringements, etc... If they want to take action depending on the data, then they can be held liable for the data as well. This is why the telcos wanted "common carrier" status in the first place.

But now they're too greedy having seen the cable TV model where they get to charge rent on both ends for content they didn't even create.

1 standard glass is 125 ml at 8% ABV.

2 * 125 = 250 ml, which is 1/3rd of a bottle.

Most wine is stronger than 8% ABV, and so the portion size should be smaller.

Note that France used to have high rates of alcohol related harm, but have managed to reduce those after a long public health campaign of raising prices and lowering drink drive limits.
"Essentially, even one or two weak reviews in a chain of reviews can break the entire consensus system with a catastrophic bug.
Hopefully, this can be an object lesson in making sure critical changes are reviewed very thoroughly. Stay safe and go thank the developers that do the hard work of not just coding, but reviewing."

Amen to that. Doing a proper review for any software is so hard, so not fun and often misunderstood and unappreciated (by management).

And then when shtf you also get the blame for your "weak review".
> It would be a very strange operational semantics that considered an O(n)-space program isomorphic to an O(1)-space program.

Why? Intuitively, wouldn't you consider Euclid's algorithm operating on unary and binary representations of numbers isomorphic despite the exponential difference in complexity? We can have complexity preserving isomorphisms and non-preserving isomorphisms, and it's quite easy to see from the mappings which is which. That's exactly why, if you're writing a reduction to prove complexity bounds, you must show that the reduction itself is polynomial. Otherwise, you get a mapping, but not one that preserves complexity.

> What is your notion of "isomorphism" here?

The usual one: bisimulation [1] (the operational semantics of the lambda calculus is just a state machine, where the current expression is the state, and the reductions are transitions), or refinement mappings in both directions, if you like, as in my talk.

Also, you can clearly see in my Java examples how the imperative denotation is preserved in all versions of the program.

Code review is hard to do right.

Use multiple reviewers for critical code (treat it like proof reading an email you are about to send to millions of customers).

Write automated tests if you can, including for regressions and edge cases, but also to assert your code works the way you’re saying it will.

Finally, check the code out locally if you’re a reviewer and verify the changes yourself, don’t just read the diffs.
It's possible they mean bits as in small parcels rather than bits as in 0 || 1.
Here’s some napkin math based on a few assumptions.

Assumptions:
The article is correct and it’s an 800KW battery pack for the semi. I’m also going to go with a conservative assumption and assume 2C charging rate for the battery pack. I’m also going to assume that the semi will have the ability to take in a 480V charging current because it simplifies wiring and is easier to get in an industrial capacity.

With those assumptions, you’ll need 1.6MW of power, something that can be easily delivered with less than eight 500MCM cables (roughly 1” copper cables including insulation that weigh about 2lb a foot and are still rather flexible). This seems in line with the charging port photos I’ve seen for the semi. Neither the cables or the power needs are that dramatic, there’s wind turbines that put out that much power individually along I-70 in Kansas for example where there is thousands of them.
It actually seems like quite a refreshing mix of options to me. There is a right wing bias, but its far from the only viewpoint on there.
Here are some books, talks and papers that I've found really influential:

Clean Architecture (https://www.amazon.com/dp/0134494164) - Uncle Bob has been talking about this for years, but it's a really good exploration of how to build systems.

Turning the Database Inside Out is a talk that really made Apache Kafka and stream processing click with me. https://www.confluent.io/blog/turning-the-database-inside-ou...

Going through and implementing the Raft algorithm was also very formative for me - it's the first time I really started to grok the challenges with building large scale distributed systems. https://raft.github.io/

And to add a paper to the list to not totally go off topic - Birrell's paper "An Introduction to Programming with Threads" I thought was a very useful read - in part for the historical context, but he also breaks down many fundamental concepts that will look very familiar to the modern reader (it was written nearly 30 years ago).
It's also very readable. https://birrell.org/andrew/papers/035-Threads.pdf

Nothing much would happen, really.

As portrayed by tech-media Linus is the main man behind Linux, but for anyone who would even casually follow the LKML, "Linux" is merely Linus' Linux.

If Linus were to cease development, distributions would probably gravitate towards another Linux tree. There is no shortage of trees maintained by very qualified long-term developers who are trusted to keep everything in working order. They're just not as much in the general spotlight as Linus.

Even if different distributors would lean towards different trees, features and patches would be equalised by third parties and another main tree would establish itself as "Linux."

You sound depressed, to be honest. Not everyone thinks like this (I certainly don't), and I'd hope I'm in the majority.

I don't think there's much value in calling any one class of people "truly sociable". People have lots of different ways they like to interact with others. If they're mutually beneficial, they're true enough for me.
That is pretty nice topic.
>In deflationary events no one buys anything because the price tomorrow is cheaper then the price today

Computer prices have been rapidly deflating since before I was born, but I've bought several computers. Deflation only prevents purchases when the savings from waiting outweigh the cost of not having the item.
Look in the Linux kernel to see how often linked lists are used. The list of a process’s memory mapping are, for example, maintained as linked list in parallel with a balanced tree. Lots of queues are maintained as linked lists. Free slabs in the slab allocator are kept in a linked list. The list goes on.
Cool Keep it up.
Actually, that's how an explosion is defined in the dictionaries, it's a rapid expansion of air.
That is a good point, although one could easily point out that “alphabetical order” is also a completely arbitrary convention, and we could just as easily argue whether we ought to change how we teach that order. Perhaps a different ordering of the alphabet, like sorting by usage frequency or grouping the vowels and consonants together, would help everyone learn to read and write. The same type of argument could apply to nearly anything. For example, in the English language, perhaps we should standardize spelling. This isn’t a novel suggestion. Mark Twain famously and perhaps apocryphally made such a suggestion. Why not just teach everyone in the world Esperanto or Lojban?

Well, no. They have no idea what it involves for that type of scale, but to say they have no idea at all (about their operating scale) seems to just show your hurt feelings about growing up that way.

> 60% of all traffic through Code Sponsor came from Github. 15% came from ad blocked traffic (I have no idea the referer). About 15% came from websites and then the remainder came from different repository websites (dockerhub, npm, etc).

From the monetizable repo views, 86% of all views were from Github. Barring a massive cultural shift, Github has to be part of the equation.

But the costs associated with Bitcoin transactions are massive compared to credit cards, and as far as regulations, Bitcoin’s policy-making is quite centralized within a few groups (big mining pool operators, mega-exchanges, Core developers). On top of that, the throughput is orders of magnitude less than the credit card networks. And it’s not all that anonymous, either.

The blockchain is a revolutionary technology, and I think one way or another it’ll change the world. But Bitcoin? I’m just not seeing it.

The first implementation of a revolutionary technology does not often look like the implementation that ultimately changes the world.

I think people forget that when they buy Bitcoin, they’re not betting on the usefulness of blockchains, they’re betting on this specific implementation of one.

Of course, that’s assuming that competitors will pop up to do that.

Just my two cents here.

When Eric is describing having to wake up at 5 am and work weekends to make Code Sponsor work even with the proceeds of 60% of all OS projects his ad network funded, it should be pretty clear the other 40% divided among many OS coders couldn’t be enough for their project’s development to feel sustainable.

As much as I commend Eric on trying to find a solution to OS maintainability, I think he actually just reinvented something already available to OS developers, a niche tasteful ad network, I.e carbon ads <https://carbonads.net> something which many OS projects with a large enough audience already include to support development.
> Since its release 26 years ago, Linux has not only persisted–it has come to dominate every market it enters.

Except the mainstream desktop. Linux has not dominated the desktop, nor do I expect it ever will, at least not the desktop in its current form.

(I remember back in 1999 I would tell people that Linux would eventually rule the desktop, we just had to take a long view of at least 10 years. I can now say empirically that 10 years is not a long enough view.)

What competitors? Many Americans have access to one ISP, and if they have access to more than one, it's often a false choice (DSL v Cable, e.g.) where the speeds are not comparable. I live in Chicago, the third most populous US city, and I have access to only AT&T and Comcast. I've searched for alternatives, but RCN isn't allowed to service my area for some reason, WOW! doesn't serve my area. So I'm stuck with Comcast. AT&T is completely insufficient for my needs, so if I don't like Comcast (which I do not, at all) what do I do?
