Part of me (my young revolutionary part) is libertarian so yes I would say government is to be broken down.

To be more precise in regards to your question. I want to live in the world where internet and social networks are businesses that don't rely on the government good will.

I would prefer there to be no great firewall of China and the great firewall of US and Europe as it is forming right now.

I know that is a losing battle. But we should fight for internet being a place without nationalistic restrictions that is able to operate without corrupt people in power being able to force their worldview upon us.
Idiomatic code in purescript
No, I am talking about people who decide to make an exact replica. Sure lot of creativity is remixing, but these people don't want a remix.

Take somebody who wrote OpenTTD, open Transport Tycoon clone. It was an exact replica of the original game (later of course people got more creative with it).

The same time could have been spent creating, for instance, Stardew Valley. The author didn't decide to make just a Harvest Moon clone.

That is roughly a difference between a non-creative project and a creative project.
It would be very nice to have some way of integrating this into OhMyZSH as a plugin. OMZ can already do extraction of command line arguments by tab completion (and it will attempt to make a brief description of what the flag does) [0][1].

It might be nice to be able to type "tldr compress a folder into a tarball" and click tab to have a set of templates suggested to you. You can navigate to them and click enter to replace your current command line contents with the template.

I'm not sure how this is relevant; yes, more proper competition would be great, but we had that, for a long time, and the competition merged/consolidated. Merger after merger happened until cities were left with two competitors that made deals to stay off each other's sides of the tracks. The market naturally consolidated without government regulation allowing such things to occur.

Besides, this is a tangential issue; it's related in someway, but such competition doesn't help consumers when it comes to what their ISP can and cannot do. Even without city contracts, it's really expensive in the US to start an ISP; we've seen countless stories about ISP start-ups here on HN which show the difficulty of such a venture, and it's why we don't see more of it. Heck, Google with its deep pockets could not make it work even in cities that were happy to bend over backwards for them.

Even if we were to have more last mile ISPs, how does that help when the rest of the upstream is plagued with ISPs that are deprioritizing traffic based on their preferences? What good is it to have an ISP at the last mile in Seattle if the route to Seattle de-prioritizes this traffic?

Net Neutrality is equally important to the striking down of the city-wide contracts ISPs have managed to get. This was a state by state thing and the story was the same each time; the ISPs promised far more than they delivered to the states, and the states just ate the bill while the ISPs fought in court each and every time. I don't believe for a moment that the ISPs should be able to use our Tax Payer money to have laid cable like this then bend us over a barrel for it.

More competition would be great, but this alone doesn't solve the issue. How big of a price tag does a BenevolentISP have before it's an offer too good to refuse? Why even give them the power to use our money to screw us even further?
I don't think it's fair to say that the originators of man pages didn't understand what their users were looking for. In most cases, the authors are the users, and when they were first created, that was pretty much the only user base they had. Man pages are manual pages, not howto pages.

If I'm looking at a man page, it's pretty much always because I want to look up one of the options, not how to use the command itself. Adding that sort of howto clutter would make it a whole lot harder to use the pages properly. Why not leave man pages alone and just focus on info pages again (http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/info.htm)? That was always the go-to for more verbose descriptions and has much more of a howto vibe about it.

A data structure with the linked list inline is the other way around, e.g.:

class Foo {
Foo *m_next;
Foo *m_next_mru;
Foo *m_next_sibling;
};

With the STL implementation, only one list can have the item inlined; all the other linked lists need two indirections to get to the next element.
One may also wish to consider the ritual of making a drink and try to replace that ritual with another. Perhaps try making a fancy tea complete with precise water temperature and steeping time. I’ve also recently become a fan of egg white based drinks. Even without alcohol I find it very rewarding to make the perfect egg white foam. Plus I can share those drinks with my kids and elderly grandmother.

The unique mutations in your brain and immune system too are induced during development. The body needs variation in neurons so they can recognize themselves millimeters away and not connect with themselves. And it needs immune cells that recognize a wider variety of proteins than could be encoded directly in DNA. So somehow mutations are induced in specific genome regions in the brain and immune system.

Which isn't to say that mutations don't play a large role in other cells. The average child has at least one mutation but usually they don't do much. Well, doesn't do much or means the zygote is totally nonviable and so never results in a pregnancy. Having children when you're older will tend to increase the number of mutation, especially for men where their gametes are produced throughout their lives. A cell from, say, someone's skin will tend to have even more mutations but that's a quantitative thing rather than a qualitative one.
> I believe that happy people are lazy

I’m now reading Marx’s “Grundrisse” and at some point, while he has just started explaining the essence of capital, he mentions the story of an English priest who on visiting the island of Jamaica complains that everyone in there is lazy, that they don’t want to work more in order to achieve more in life than just obtaining their daily food, and that was the way to disaster. When asked by said English priest on why they were working just enough to put some food on the table the Jamaicans answered him that there’s no reason for them to work more than strictly necessary, they’re happy with what they have.

Marx’s book was written in the 1850s so that I reckon that the English priest’s story dates from the early to the mid-1800s, i.e. when the Industrial Revolution was on full throttle in Britain.

I disagree with this. Take a look at KDE Plasma, I think it has one of the best desktop UI out there.
Sadly, I feel that the real issue here is that few people are willing to pay the real cost of individually produced, handmade products, enough to pay the person making them a honest living. We've all become so accustomed to economies of scale that few understand the amount of work required to actually build any trivial artifact of modern society.

Social media threat: People learned to survive disease, we can handle Twitter
Whether you file or not, you should talk to lawyer. If all of your actions are motivated by child related fears, the lawyer can advise you on what to do to make sure you have access to kid and look good during potential divorce. Marriage counseling might be a good idea too. The relationship has zero chance to rebuild if both of you don't change. (She for obvious reasons and you basically so that you wont become victim of the same thing again. It sounds like the more you try, the less does she, then you try more, then she does even less. That is bad dynamic.)

If you by the end of your home work have to ask how was the day and then are surprised over those Facebook details, then there is not much difference against being at work from the relationship standpoint. I don't mean it as blame you, just that this would factor in into relationship social network present or not.

But you know, that does not explain polygamy part still. Not your fear of child being used against you.

In my experience, brainstorming tends to be dominated by whoever is loudest and least coherent - the fuzzier and less thought-out an idea is, the easier it is for everyone in the room to agree on the broadest strokes, and have completely different understandings of how to actually get there.

Try to pin them down on specifics, and you get labeled as obstructionist or otherwise "difficult".
Perhaps you use a cloud VPS provider that over-provisions customers.

Until recently, I ran a Minecraft server on a $10/month DigitalOcean Linux VPS. (I consider $10/month dirt cheap.)

It ran very smooth. No lag or performance hiccups.
It's a fundamentally different goal / structure.

`man` documents every last flag, and I generally use it for a command I know decently but need to dig into particulars. It goes to a scrollable page like `less` which is important bc it's total size spans several pages.

`tldr` is shows the 3-4 most common use cases for a command, and puts it right to stdout more like `cat` so you can refer to it as you type along. I'd generally use this for a command I do not know so well.
SmartDraw 2017 Crack Patch and Serial Key Free Download
Actually, thats not how open source works. But you have at least two true points between the lines:

1. Linux is not easy to install: Most of the problems during installation are still driver issues. The issues are mainly not existing drivers or proprietary binary drivers. Wherever open source drivers exist with the support of the hardware manufacturer they work just great (stable and out of the box).

2. We have lots of distributions but to my knowledge none is just awesome to use: I used Ubuntu for a few years on different machines but major updates were often problematic, and every 2 years or so you had to reinstall (sucks). On my desktop computer I used Gentoo for a while but source based distributions have special problems (dependency resolution is sometimes harder and you have all the trouble if some ABI breaks).

In the last 2 years I switched most of my computers to Arch which has the advantage of having rolling releases, so no major updates and no reinstall requirements (yeah). But while source based distributions make it easy to integrate 3rd party repositories to your system, Arch has the so called AUR (Arch User Repositories) which is even more complicated to use than Gentoo or Exherbo, as the provided tools are just not as good. But without the AUR there are many packages missing in Arch.

So for the moment I will stick with Arch, but I really hope there will be something equally long living, up-to-date, stable and even more complete and extendable.

(Btw. before Ubuntu I tried Fedora, Debian and SuSE, which all had their own problems)
I wiped out Firefox and observed this memory hungriness with a completely clean install with no add-ons whatsoever versus a Fully configured Chrome.
Yes, the answer, on a broad scale, will not be: let the customer pay more to comcast [1]. Because if they could raise the prices, they would already have done so. No, the additional value the want to extract comes from the other side, eating into their earnings.

How would that play out with VPNs? Well, if netflix users would be forced to a) pay for a vpn and b) pay for comcast to allow the vpn to be fast, or not to any of that and just go with comcasts video service. So netflix will want to pay comcast so that their users don't jump ship. Comcast might let them, but even that is not a given.

The real problem is not so much the lack of NN, it's the monopoly for the last mile. But without NN and no competition in the last mile service, we will have a problem.

Ahh, now here comes the fun part. There is no standard.

250ml is 8.5 ounces. Some places in Europe standardized on this.

A cup of anything else is 8 ounces.

A "cup of coffee" (the actual unit) is 6 ounces, and this is the standard everywhere where 250ml isn't, and we're not in Japan; but even though the US follows the 6 ounce standard, the USDA considers a cup 8 ounces on their nutrition table.

Japan has standardized on 200ml (or about 6.7 oz).

What SHOULD be measured is not liquid volume, but bean weight (measured in grams; even Ameicans measure it in grams when they're the type to weigh it instead of just throwing ambiguously heaped tablespoons in); and then shifted according to that blend's particular caffeine content (outside of specialty products with high-caffeine bean variants, caffeine content can vary about +/- 50% depending on the origin of the beans (roasting does not effect caffeine content meaningfully, although the myth lives on)).
Retirement is financial independence. He has the luxury through financial independence to decide to do whatever activities he wants each day.
I'd add to pick a reasonable asset allocation that you will stick to and rebalance regularly (once a year is fine although tax efficiency isn't a concern in tax advantaged investments). This can be done automatically for you via any of the new generations of robo-advisors (although you can get most of the benefits and lower fees with Vanguard LifeStrategy or Target Retirement funds).

Tax advantaged account pro-tips: put your least tax efficient instruments (eg income generating assets etc) in the retirement accounts. Use a Roth IRA to be able to maximize amount of tax-advantaged investment per year).

Asset allocation wise, there was an interesting article (and followup) entitled "The Benefits of Low Correlation" a few years back I thought was particularly interesting. Link to both: http://www.etf.com/publications/journalofindexes/joi-article...

Social media is part of the equation for exposing the recordings though. If someone posts an embarrassing video of you, it won’t really affect you unless/until it goes viral to the point that the people in your social group, in real life or online, are aware of it.

Without image recording devices it would still be possible to share embarrassing text conversations and stories, but they don’t have the same shaming power as video. And without social media, embarrassing videos would mostly languish on some GeoCities backwater. It is the confluence of the two that creates the current situation.

Drivers Who Merge at the Last Minute May Be Annoying, but They're Right
Maybe I just can't find it, but the largest blocker for using Rust on the web for me is a lack of a exposure/binding system (like embind).

I'm not particularly interested in writing entire webapps in Rust but I do see it being useful for smaller self-contained modules inside a larger JS app. Not having a robust binding API makes that difficult.

Exactly. Inflation is calculated based on a basket of goods that excludes all kinds of expensive and illiquid assets that the average person doesn't buy often or at all.

I guess it's fine if people want to describe that situation as low inflation with an asset bubble. But I think what is actually happening is that, although much of the world now gets to eat well and enjoy consumer goods, all kinds of assets (property, artwork, luxuries and anything requiring rare resources) are moving up and up out of people's reach).

Nope. From https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Java - "Note though that very little of this Java code is actually part of the shipped product." A lot of the Java stuff is ancillary, and chunks of Java code have been rewritten to C++ over time.

Part of the reason that LibreOffice is slow is that it was essentially debugged into existence. Michael Meeks from Collabra would often post to Planet Gnome about his optimization work. There is certainly hope looking forward. It is a lot faster than it used to be, and they will hopefully be enabling Multi-threading in Calc for LibreOffice 6.0.

This makes me so excited! Great job to Alex and the entire team getting this done.

I know Rust is not the most perfect language for some. For me, it’s really exciting that there is finally a high level language which can scale for every potential use case.

Rust is great for kernels and the embedded space; Excels in the systems space; Is gaining traction in the native application space; Has great tooling for web backends; and, now, with WASM, it’s capable of targeting the web (Yes, without DOM access this is limited, but my understanding is that is coming at some point in the future).

Are there any other runtime free, memory safe languages that can target all of those use cases?
