Problem is, most softwares that are NOT in the official repository are made for Ubuntu TLS, not debian stable.

So if you want to install VSCode, Telegram, Skype, Stremio, Sublime Text, Python 3.6, clipgrab, steam, dukto, tilix, etc. You know that half of them won't work out of the box on debian stable. Each year it will be different ones, to make it spicier, for different reasons that can take a huge amount of time and energy to figure it, if you ever do.

Then if you need to do anything exotic, and it's worse. E.G: I'm currently compiling a lot of crypto currency wallets (I run a master node automation service). Most of them will compile only on Ubuntu. And if you don't want precisely Ubuntu 12.04 (I compile for 16.04), you'll need a little tweak.

Don't mistake that for hatred. I donate to the debian project financially, I adore them.

But for the desktop, it's really not making my life easy.
Isn't the hard part getting the <whatever coin> with real money?

Let's say I was going to try to launder a million dollars in cash. How do you get that into an exchange and out of an exchange without setting off a million red flags, at least in the United States?
I really don't expect that someone will pay for this, I guess it's better a fermium model.

If the user is the only person that has the application, it's not very useful, the user MUST convince his/her family and friends to install and pay. And the family/friends are not very convinced and think that they probably will never use this app again, so they are very worried to pay. If they install for free, they can use it later. This app has a very strong local network effect.

I think it's better a model like Candy Crash, were you get a few free plays, and they regenerate slowly by time. But if you are in a big long party with lot's of friends, your free plays will not be enough and you must pay to get more.

Also, if the user only pays for installing the app you still have to pay for the bandwidth an hosting each month forever. If the user pays when have to play, you get some money each month/week.

> He said "heavily contended", and then you dropped the "heavily" prefix and claimed that was literally what he said. That adverb is material to the discussion and your dropping it completely changes the meaning.

"Heavily" was not dropped intentionally at all. Add it back to my comments. It changes nothing whatsoever. The incredible opinion that every problem can be necessarily parallelized without eventually resulting in contention (and I license you to freely modify this term with 'light', 'heavy', 'medium-rare', 'salted', 'peppered', or 'grilled at 450F' to your taste) is so fantastically absurd that I cannot believe you are debating it. I definitely don't know how you can justify such an unfounded claim with no evidence and I certainly have no interest in wasting time debating it. As I said earlier: if you never encounter problems that exhibit eventual scalability limits, more power to you.
Yeah, it's nice to experience a low-friction setup that does great many things. I used Ubuntu for a little while but kept breaking it. I'm a bull in an operating system china shop.

As an american I tend to agree with your viewpoint except for one- We are still the best in the world :)
I guess you could create a hollowed out titanium bone and keep the yummy bone inside. Probably even a titanium/bone composite where most of the strength comes from titanium but where enough bone and bonemarrow was still there to make if function as a regular bone.
Health outcomes for vegans are probably skewed heavily by the fact that the vegan sub-population consists of people who A) spend a lot of time obsessing over what they eat, and B) have the wherewithal to successfully pull-off a major dietary intervention (which is what veganism is, essentially).
Bone in fact sucks at repairing itself in the face of age-related degeneration such as osteoporosis, arthritis and such.

If you had titanium bones, you wouldn't become hunch-backed and short in old age, nor would your fingers deform.
That's true, a lot of European startups focus on making it in their local market and from there branch out to other countries, whereas startups in the US are from their inception focussing on their large, single market with no language barriers.

I think that's slowly changing. Dutch startups are told to think big nowadays and access to venture capital is also improving.
I can recommend "The Shadow World: Inside the Global Arms Trade" by Andrew Feinstein. The book argues that most arms deals are done to line the pockets of a few key players (and in the case of the US, pork-barrel politics) - it even goes so far as suggesting that political decisions to go to war can often be blamed on a desire to generate demand for new weapons systems that means more $$$$ and ££ in the right places. I found it quite depressing....

I’d be curious to see some of the sources for the latter statements about modern adoption of å in non-northern languages.

I am familiar with the Italian ones mentioned, and afaik they don’t have official transcription rules, they have always been almost exclusively oral languages. In my experience , whenever a transcription was required (usually in an entertainment context, since they were never official languages), people would just make it up as they went along.

As such, I wouldn’t give too much weight to this or that random source using a weird northern-European letter to try and legitimise their arbitrary transcription; but if there is a convincing argument against this position, I’d love to see it.

> but the root cause of this murder isn't in the phone call

If you know there's a strong possibility (and in the US, this is the case) that your phone call could result in someone's death - and calling in a fake hostage/murder to trigger a SWAT response certainly qualifies - you are part of the root cause, definitely.

> Blaming it on the caller completely ignores all other police killings that have happened without a swatter.

This is ridiculous whataboutism.

Debian Maintainer here (currently in the process of becoming a Debian Developer).

I agree that the documentation lacks various improvements, but i would like to add that there's a difference between building a deb package and building a deb package for Debian.

Tl;DR: To build a deb package for Debian involves lots of extra steps and cautions than to build a simple deb package because Debian is pretty strict with what can enter the official repository. The documentation needs to be improved for both cases anyway.
Yup, bringing tools like these for drawing better bezier curves in Illustrator would be so so great. :)

I've started making a plugin to help visualise curvature continuity (using the Illustrator C++ SDK). For example:

The problem I'm facing is I can't figure out how to make it update live as you drag curve control points around. Currently it only updates once you let go.. :-/
Calling up men that murder someone is not a feature desired in any country, however once someone figures out that by doing a prank call in a particular way they will be calling up men who murder people to hopefully murder the people they don't like the prank call has changed its nature.

Certainly the U.S needs to stop the police killing people, but it also should treat people harshly for exploiting the 'people-killing' bug in their system.

If I figure out your internet of things refrigerator has a setting to add salmonella to chicken 25% of the time, and I then use an exploit to run the salmonella adding routine, the manufacturer should be sued for a lot of money for their stupid salmonella adding routine, and remove that routine. But I think you would agree that while my activity was similar to that time someone made your internet of things lights blink on and off, it was also more serious and I should suffer more for it.
I came for this comment. The big difference between JIRA and SAP is that SAP is a "batteries-included + kitchen sink" package (which tends to require molding business processes around it). My problem w/ JIRA is that anything beyond the simplest workflows/BPM requires purchasing a ton of paid plugins that tend to be abandoned over time. Atlassian knows what users want but they are dog-slow at bringing them to fruition.
Serious question, why is being fired from your government job a due process issue while being fired from your private sector job is not? If tomorrow, all government jobs were made At Will and the pay increased accordingly, what property of due process has been violated?
This happens to me regularly with our .csproj files. I'm convinced it has something to do with our line endings...
Indian/Chinese men are much less desired than whites and sometimes blacks and latinos in the US dating market. Marrying an American is probably harder than alternative approaches, at least for males from these countries.
> Your reaction seems to prove the point.

I don't think it does. Markedness is much more universal in language and not merely affecting grammatical gender in indeterminate contexts. If "the point" in question is some kind of job underrepresentation, it would be more plausible that this pronoun thing is some kind of symptom of it if this indeterminate gender issue were isolated and recent, but the indeterminate gender is ancient (older than any jobs, in fact), and markedness in general is pervasive, so I'm not sure what it could prove about recent job issues.
Please do try Fedora. You will find that the level of polish in Fedora today far exceeds that in Ubuntu.

At some level, you feel the systemd, Gnome, Wayland integration as something force fed to Ubuntu.
This was a customer car, so it would seem that the answer is “they already have.”
> You declare your maven dependencies and they can be resolved as source or binary. In eclipse I can click through to any library function and see its source immediately.

Surely, you can view Java dependency sources. It is just that most Java programmers don't care about the sources, they are just care about the jars (the default culture).

In my honest opinion, cross-platform by bytecode has few advantages over cross-platform by source nowadays, on the other hand, cross-platform by bytecode has many inconveniences.

And, (in my taste), single central repository is bad. That's why I don't like Node also. The npm central repository is the source of many Trojans. Many Java and Node developers are not aware of and have no ideas on what they have downloaded through chain dependencies.

> Again completely normal - Python, Ruby, C#, OCaml... will have exactly the same issue. Get a better firewall.

Normal != good.
It was a different time, but probably not that different figuratively.

Things like Shatner taking Priceline stock to be their spokesperson played into the dot-com mania narrative of the time, but now that's seen as a shrewd business move. 50 Cent had a $60-100 million exit with Vitamin Water and Lebron had a $30 million exit with Beats.

The calcium in bones is pretty much all in the form of calcium phosphate, which behaves very differently from a pure metal, e.g. with respect to conductivity. Saying that bones are made of metal is a bit like saying that stone is made of metal.

To answer that question, have you ever tried to swim with a 1kg weight belt? Such devices are commonly used by scuba divers to maintain neutral buoyancy.

Or put it another way, the difference in density between seawater and fresh water is about 3%, and it's noticeably easier to swim in the sea. So if you have bone replacements that make you 3% heavier, you should expect to notice it.
Well you can't eat as much titanium as you can eat calcium so there is that.
I still remember playing a PSX for the first time. It felt so... slow. I complained to my cousin about it, 3 years younger than me. He made fun of me.

When it was finally my money to spend on games, I bought an N64. The only thing the Playstation seemed capable of was RPGs. And with the sole exception of FF7, the SNES ones were better.
> For me government is about taking care of the sick, poor and vulnerable as much as taking care of wannabe millionairs.

For me, I'd say that society is about taking care of everyone -- government should merely (!) play the role of the administrator in that process.

I always feel that way too many people I speak to think that 'the government' is some kind of independent force, rather than a reflection of what society wants. (Sure, in many cases, it really is a reflection of what a tiny handful of people orchestrate -- but since we're talking idealism here...)

A good amount of the calories in whole milk come from fat. In post-milk dairy products, though, it’s a much higher percentage, since much of the carbohydrates have been removed. After all, it’s removing the carbohydrates (lactose) that makes dairy products viable for the lactose intolerant. Take a look at the fat content of butter, cheese, yogurt, sour cream, etc.
afaik Aluminium also requires an electric current is run through it while being refined. It's more than complicated metals like iron.

So the sad thing is fintech startups do not really solve things for now. They just push some banks to improve their tech.

Here is a real issue: transaction speed of SEPA wire transfers.

Here is another issue: no fintech will be able to solve it, since fintechs are no banks, and (typical for "disruptive" startups) can not solve this for the whole system as it is a regulated system for tons of reasons.

So what could fintech really solve?

How about focussing on customer facing technology? A fintech proposing and providing an open standard for banking apps where security and compliance is enforced by default would at least one problem solved.

> Top 20 per cent of families pay 56 per cent of all taxes in Canada

If that's wrong, then why not cite why? If it's correct, I suspect there's a good reason for it (e.g. progressive tax structures work and are objectively a good thing for society).
Your comment has almost nothing to do with the actual point raised in the article and is just a general tirade critical of the US. How does your comment relate to the the main cause of issues in American healthcare: raw cost of care?

Why should it take 10s of thousands of dollars to get 20 mins of general anesthesia (like it costed me, billed to my insurance)? And what does that cost have to do with "empathy" or "ego" of Americans?

I share your view of the Southern Baptists and their fellow purveyors of hate and hypocrisy but that’s much too strong as a general condemnation of all religions. As a simple example, when I walk by the Methodist office near the Capitol and see a huge banner asking Congress to ban torture, improve the deplorable conditions in US prisons, help refugees, etc. that doesn’t seem like a cancer to me (and, FWIW, those are at least biblically-supported positions unlike the Southern Baptists’ which earns some respect even from an atheist). There’s also a lot of hate and violence committed by people who aren’t part of a large organized religion but instead follow their own interpretation or one hateful preacher, so that qualifier isn’t particularly useful.

The big distinction for me isn’t whether you believe but whether the focus is internal or external: some people use their religion for self improvement, pushing themselves to be better and help others more; other religions seem to use it as a justification for trying to coerce other people to share their beliefs and to ennoble the hateful things they were going to do anyway. I have far fewer problems with the first group, whereas the latter is completely toxic and increasingly dangerous since they started getting politically active in the 1970s in the backlash to desegregation (abortion wasn’t even an issue until they needed something new to dehumanize the opposition with).

> Well any out-of-state student would do that not just international ones. There is a deeper problem there in that these universities perhaps simply can't afford to have 10 foreign languages or gyms or sports clubs. Using international students to keep those going seems a bit of a round-about way. Since many of those are state schools, maybe seeing why the states have cut funding to the schools is more useful.

Tell me why out of state students will pay significantly higher tuition when they can get a cheaper education in their State College? And are you saying that the State University wouldn't prefer Americans in their undergraduate programs? (please don't lob some racism/conspiracy theory: University administrators are Americans, and probably prefer Americans over others) It seems like international students are the only ones willing to pay higher out of state.

> Not really. Undergraduate students are minimally involved in research. (You did read the article to sew that it talks primarily about undergraduate students, right?).

The kernel of interest in research is laid during undergraduate study. US universities are in general better at promoting research during undergrad. Most undergrad programs focus more on learning than conducting research, simply because many don't even have graduate research programs of caliber. But many US universities do.

> Some would have and some do. But it's not a program geared for permanent residence. There was an option to do a short internship / co-op with that visa after graduation but that was about it.

Its not directly. But the hope is that the brightest and hard working will stay.

> As I said, from what I have seen in this case it is mostly students who come from wealthy families. Do we need more students from wealthy international families in US? I don't know, maybe. I would rather it be based on merit, so perhaps refocus that effort towards graduate students in certain fields or who manage to do exceptionally well in their studies.

You say this as if these wealthy students have no merit. Its not easy to get into US universities, especially as an international student. You have to have merit and wealth. I don't see why Universities shouldn't prefer students with both merit and wealth?
