I'll go a bit further than you here. My experience with using homework exercises in interviewing is that they provide a better signal of both technical ability and technical level than anything else I've tried.

Also, I work for the company which published the article under discussion here, and did the homework exercise when I interviewed there. It was refreshing to be given something that was an actual open-ended real-world problem, to be solved in real-world conditions.
Not really. If you compared the culture today with the 60s or 70s, it's not even close.
Another anecdote. I have been working on a large mobile game in Unity for over 3 years. I need to write a tool to manage the virtual (game) item database so we could add content to the game without updating the app. I could build this app with any environment I wanted (desktop or web, any language/framework).

I chose to make a desktop app with Electron and Vue and Element UI without having any experience with any of those and hardly any JS experience. I had a full working app that synced with a server and allowed multi-user editing with auto updates in under 3 months.

Shared libraries and projects are definitely accelerating developers' abilities to quickly build things.

Getting any use out of voice recognition personal assistants is a learned skill (just like effective googling or using the command line) but pretty handy once you get it figured out.

I'd be interested to see a voice-controlled personal assistant with a specific machine-friendly syntax you have to learn instead of it trying to deal with natural language. In exchange for me learning the syntax I'd probably have a much better user experience than fumbling through variations of English.

I think we must be interpreting the meaning of Crocker Rules differently.

You say the example I gave is benign — so is it fair to assume you believe that this behavior is useful in at least some cases?

You're right that I have the "luxury" to do so in that situation because the outcome isn't particularly painful.

And you're also right that it would be difficult to opt in to Crocker Rules when discussing something with huge stakes and emotional charge. But that's why it's opt-in ... no one should try to force you to accept it, and you can choose to accept it depending on context.

I would probably not volunteer for Crocker Rules with someone proposing something that would grievously harm my family.

(and just to be clear: I never actually use the term, I always use in-context statements like the one in the example).
> you can even say something like that in first person if it is satire or provocative art

I can give you a counter-example (although in France where we have similar laws). Patrick Sebastien, who is a well-known French humorist has been convicted for exactly that (he impersonated Jean-Marie Le Pen, far right politician, in a satire song "casser du noir").

Sorry but I can only find a reference to a French article http://www.liberation.fr/medias/1996/03/13/patrick-sebastien...

The judges concluded that this was indeed an incitation to racial hatred, which is illegal in France.

In the US there is a fear of government taking too much of a role in "shaping the people's opinions."

I live in New York City and I felt a small degree of panic when the reports showed up on Twitter. However, my initial instinct was "either the system doesn't work, or someone messed up".

If someone started firing missiles at the US, the risk that we'd start shooting them back seems high, and I think NYC would be a city that would get pummeled in retaliation. This is probably true for a lot of major coastal cities, especially Seattle, Vancouver, SF/LA, NYC, Washington DC, and Boston.

As a hobby music producer I just can't wrap my head around the logic behind copyright infringement. It's so arbitrary. It's illegal to steal a melody but sophisticated chord progressions are fine. It's illegal to copy the text of even the simplest verse but reverse engineering some complex synthesizer sounds is fine.

Although I personally strive for it, I don't think originality is a point worth discussing. Music is about expression first and foremost. The difficulty we have today is that you can't freely express yourself. Many of the great hip hop records of the 90s, for instance, couldn't be produced today because sample clearing would be a nightmare.

I do, of course, understand that each work requires, errm, work. So I am fine with some form of protection for the artist. But imho it should be a rather broad protection. That is, releasing a cover without permission or selling someone else work (i.e. 100% of the lyrics or melody or even arrangement...) as your own is not ok. But I think as long as there is any form of creative alteration involved then "copying" should be fair play. Especially when several years or even a decade have past.
I think this is just the nature of music. It requires a rather rigid system which does not offer enough diversity to be completely unique. All musical genres need to at least share the same root elements for association.

There is no desktop on the 522 MB Arch Linux ISO, or if there is, I've never seen it. It boots into a root shell on tty1, and is only supposed to be used for installation. I would be very surprised to even find an X server in there.

EDIT: For a more realistic number, I just checked my Arch-Linux-based home server, which has a fairly small installation (including some multimedia and X11 stuff for PulseAudio, mpd and youtube-dl, though). Needs just over 2 GiB for the entire system and applications:

df / -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdc2 110G 2,2G 103G 3% /

Of course, you should have some breathing room, but usually not more than 8 GiB on a server, and maybe 16 GiB on a desktop.

Arthur C. Clarke: Superiority (1951)
While society in general today is far more liberal than it used to be in 1950s it has also become more conservative again in some ways since the early 2000s ('liberal' and 'conservative' used in terms of society in general rather than as political labels).

Apart from that both perceptions can be right: That society expects people to behave by certain standards yet at the same time by a certain age people are expected to somehow magically have made some experiences that contravene these very standards.

Such an environment and the cognitive dissonance involved probably doesn't exactly make it easier to make the right decisions for yourself.
You can only rmdir an empty directory and then after that it's gone and can't have files created in it.

Provided you didn't need concurrent access, what you could do is create a temp file, unlink it, then treat the contents of the now-anonymous temp file as e.g. a zip file or a tar file or similar. But that strikes me as one of those "time to rethink the life choices that led you to this moment" situations rather than a remotely good idea.

That sounds reasonable but how do you define “any form of creativity/expression” legally? That’s the problem.

If you know anything about writing music you should know why chord progressions can’t be copyrighted. There’s only 12 notes, there’s not that many unique chord progressions to be found in the Standard I/IV/V pop music format.

Melodies and lyrics, on the other hand, there’s a nearly infinite supply.

The problem with limiting protection to only a few years is that would ensure an even more brutal cycle of song “remakes” for all pop music which would be even more stale than what we have now.

>From my understanding, it was designed to be a small, verifiable kernel intended for use in applications with high-end reliability requirements (e.g., military, aerospace).

It's immediately and very obviously useful for these fields. It is small indeed, because it follows the principle of minimality, introduced by Liedtke's L4. But do not get this wrong: It is a general purpose µkernel.

This principle of minimality (the supervisor mode µkernel should only do something if it can't be done by a service in user mode) is the difference between 1st and 2nd generation µkernels. seL4 is a 3rd generation µkernel: It's designed around capabilities.

Genode is building a framework to create OSs based on µkernels. They do support many µkernels, but there's been some serious effort put into their seL4 support. Genode isn't quite there yet for this purpose, but does have ambitions of being the base for a general purpose OS.

Here's a 2014 update on lessons learned from L4.

For anyone who doesn't play the guitar, 'Creep' and the Hollies track is is derived from come feature a rather obvious chord progression. Physically it is the result of sliding an open E chord down the neck to produce higher notes then, la piece de resistance, taking a finger off. Radiohead added a killer feature of turning the gain up on the amplifier for the chorus, genius. It's the kind of thing teenagers everywhere find in their second month of guitar mastery.

It shouldn't even be copyrightable. The guitar is full of things like this that are not great feats of musical theory but simple physical movements that are bound to happen. This is why guitar music generally sounds so derivative, because there are a number of obvious steps that all players will find quite quickly.

Why should you get paid for the guitar equivalent of pressing all of the white notes on a piano?

This is not true. It may be true for modern pop, but I can give lots of examples where originality abounds:
Classical music, Jazz and its derivatives, prog rock.

I never understood why people listen to radio music and don't even know what is out there, it's like seeing the same dull basic painting over and over again.
Yeah, there's a very big difference between friendly debate and bullying. Having been exposed to both from my parents I can assert that one gave me life skills and the other gave me trauma and problems with interpersonal relationships that I'm still recovering from.

I realise it’s easy to lose the impact on people’s lives behind a few words in a headline, and maybe I’m just too much of a cynic.

Pleasingly (to me) this article’s focus on feelings has some real meaning: namely the widespread panic that was caused by the false alarm.

The more interesting question is why should you value the opinion of a panel more than an individual? Is the writer not entitled to an opinion on the best board game of 2017 just because a group chose something else?

Also, one should consider group dynamics. Who's to say if everyone on that panel valued the game that won equally? Perhaps they all had their personal favourites, but chose a different game as it was the least contentious. All you can really say about a decision made by a panel is that it was the best decision they could make on aggregate, not that it was a true reflection of individual preferences.

All that aside, "best game of 2017" is really just "best game I played in 2017". I honestly don't know when we're collectively going to grow past handling subjective comments in an objective way, but I hope its soon.

Agreed. It seemed to even follow true chord changes instead of just bouncing around.
Sounds like Microsoft (outlook.com and friends?) have improved since I sat things up - I never got a bounce. It'd be nice if Gmail was so considerate.

But how do you know that when you send mail to a new Gmail contact it won't be silently flagged as spam? And how many times will the recipient have to "un-flag" before the behaviour changeges?

> The only systems that have had even tiny problems with were Gmail and Microsoft

The "only" big provider missing from that list is apple (in the West anyway).

I've never meant to claim that smaller providers that know what they're doing aren't capable of sending proper bounces, setting proper smtp error codes on reception or of handling email to postmaster@.

It's just that with Gmail and outlook not being God net citizens - it becomes unreasonably hard to send legitimate email to a large percentage of Internet users. One possible "fix" is to send mail to Gmail users via a Gmail account and Gmail authenticated smtp servers - and so on for outlook.com - but as the number of "silos" one needs to send data to grows, that solution becomes cumbersome. Not to mention if you publish an mx record for your domain, you should be accepting email... That's the whole point...
It's even worse in dense cities where you may share a building with thousands but not know any of them. It seems the more crowded a location is, the more isolated the people within become.
Chord progressions aren’t copyright-able. So no, that obvious thing isn’t.

What is subject to copyright is the melody. That’s what they got the claim on. The vocal melody.
This is not true. There is nothing rigid about music. You can do whatever you want. Unless you care about being popular. Then what you run up against is what people enjoy.
And it's the same melody. It really is. Open and shut case.
Western tonality has some rules. Composers can operate outside of that if they want. With computers, a single composer could make up a new set of rules for every piece. You can turn a drum beat into a note by accelerating the wave form, invent your own scales.

It is interesting that even electronic artists tend to operate within the constraints of the western tradition. It is probably a struggle to find an audience once you start doing wacky things. Or maybe it will happen, but has not yet.

Historically some taboos might've made sense.

However, mindlessly perpetuating instead of questioning them simply because "It's always been that way." is just cargo cult thinking.

We will never find out if these taboos are still valid in today's society if we don't question or test them.
Oops, my bad. I guess this is the reality I didn't want to embrace. Everyone reinventing their own "standards".
Haha, my eldest child is 5. We kind of stress our kids since they're young enough to communicate. They don't enjoy it in the moment, but bear no grudge.

We try to be very careful with damage control. We honestly talk it out. My daughter is good with labeling her feelings. She would say things like "Mom loves to pick on me for no reason, but I know she's just kidding," or "I was really angry with you this morning, because you glued the wallpaper without me, but I'm not angry anymore."

And when they do get angry, we talk it out, what they're pissed about, say sorry, and how to fix it.

I think it's sort of like exercise. We take care to not go past the 'injury' point, but sometimes it happens and we try to avoid it next time.
> Melodies and lyrics, on the other hand, there’s a nearly infinite supply

Not quite true for pop melodies especially on basic progressions when you apply all the contraints (harmony related to the current chord, tension/release). Lyrics on the other hand...

This is why I brought up the cold wallet.

The network can check that transactions occurred, but it can't really make people perform them. It's a ledger system.

If someone doesn't post a coin destruction event, how do I know why? Is it because they're cheating? Because of a cold wallet?

You might say "I will make coin destruction a precondition for any other transaction". Now the incentive of a hoarder is to sit on their wallet while destruction is high and only enter the market when destruction is low. This means liquidity is tied to how far off the peg you are, which isn't a desirable property.

OK, how about summing up the destruction tally for any wallet that's inactive, to be paid in a lump sum? Now you're telling me that my wallet can be completely drained over time by a destruction tax that realises only if I open my wallet. Not very attractive.

OK, maybe you just destroy the net of coin creation and coin destruction at transaction time. This seems more likely to work, though I'm unsure whether I can evade it by changing addresses. I'm also unsure what incentives miners have to validate coin destruction. There's also the problem of how it cope with truly heavy amounts of capital flow. Watching a numerical balance surge up and down during a single day might be unattractive to a lot of holders.
