"Herschel I. Grossman (1995) and Stergios Skaperdas (2001) both consider mafia as an alternative enforcer of property rights. Using a model with two actors (a self-governing community and mafia) and potential robbers, Skaperdas (2001) shows that in the absence of an enforcer of property rights, mafia can represent a sort of second best solution"

I do agree, that mafia act as a government. But there is still quite a difference to a democratic government. It is more a olygarchy/despotism.

But I believe our roots of government back in the middle ages, when feudals conquered new peasants to profit from them, were very alike. And there might be still characteristics in our institutions from that legacy. People definitely view it that way, when they pay taxes ...
> All I'm saying is economics is a poor reason to cook.

I agree with what you're saying, but think your reasoning misses the forest for the trees a little :)

A rump roast, bag of veggies, and can of tomatoes in a slow cooker can make dinner for 4-7, is warm when you get home, and is way cheaper than takeout while also taking less time than takeout. With a family the scale makes the investment yield a better ROI at every step, while the marginal costs of eating our could be untenable.

In pure financial terms for a single high earning individual then, yes, you will almost always be better off to get your food sourced and focus on working more hours. That math changes when you're talking about multiple people, though, and start factoring in the opportunity cost of "eating out". Being at home coding, studying, or work-emailing in your productive home environment while a casserole cooks will yield better productivity than driving around getting food or being disrupted in a restaurant/coffee shop environment.

There are also externalities to consider: eating out leads to poor food habits which leads to poor health which leads to poor productivity and reduced working lifespan. Specifically, how many overweight IT people are dying from heart attacks before retirement age, and how would an analysis of total productivity reflect that massive lost productivity from losing 40+ hour a week over many years?

Equally as relevant: much of the "time loss" in the kitchen is just blatant incompetence with cooking. By pretending that food prep is an optional life skill thousands of productive work hours will be lost that could otherwise be dedicated to making your employer more money or building up your own business, while also fixing capital that could otherwise be gaining value in interest bearing bonds or assets.

"Home Economics" is all about saving capital through intelligent resource management. On the whole economics is an amazing reason to cook. Young, single, software types in urban centers with no special dietary needs or long-term health requirements slightly withstanding ;)
In addition to the BeOS Bible, Scot Hacker also created the BeOS Tip Server, which was a great resource at the time. He also wrote a book for O'Reilly on MP3 (MP3: The Definitive Guide) that I found very useful. And he created RipEnc, a BeOS/Bash shell script to rip CDs to MP3 while making use of BeOS metadata.

After I left BeOS behind, I haven't heard his name very often, but I still appreciate his advocacy for BeOS.

Well maybe that's one of the first "application", but it's a well know fact that Mafia's rise was fostered by the Italian unification.

Southern Italy was for the most part a feudal system controlled by a traditional aristocracy.

The unification prompted by one of the Northern Italian states meant the wiping out of the existing Southern Italian aristocracy.

Northern Italian bourgeoisie and aristocracy became the new ruling classes of the new unified Italy.

Although they tried to replace the Southern Italian aristocracy with a new class of bureaucracy, the traditional feudal structure of the South and the sudden void of power made it easier for an organization like Mafia to arise.

> be much better supported by typical social science approaches

This implies that linear regression is not a typical social science method. If you review articles in sociology or political science journals, you will find that many articles use quantitative methods, and nearly all of those quantitative articles use regression.

They also attempt to get at the causality implied in their hypothesis. It's hard to do that purely with qualitative methods. Not everybody might find their IV regression convincing (they rarely are), but it's good to see that they tested their hypothesis with data.
I feel like the real metric is like to see from swap usage is: how much time did I spend waiting to swap-in a page, how much extra cache pages it gave me, and what's the cache hit ratio. If the big purpose is to allow those extra few pages to be available, then either it's worth doing or not - there should be an objective way to look at this. Unfortunately only the second and third part is easily available. The first... maybe via systemtap?
Sadly a consequence of the C culture that was adopted in C++ regarding how libraries should be distributed, before the time of package managers.

Just checked, and Skia is not to be found anywhere across vcpkg, Conan, Hunter, Ubuntu, Debian.

So using C# sounds much better than having to understand Google specific build processes to compile it.
Again, it's not a yes/no flag. The question is rather 'what error happened?' - in which case, it makes eminent sense for 'no error' to be the first exit code, hence 0.
Speculation is driving up the price, but it's idealism that prevents it from dropping too much.

For example; I bought about USD $1000 of cryptocurrencies a few months ago, then it grew to $15K so then I sold $1000 worth to get my principal back. Now I feel like I have nothing to lose. My portfolio says that I have $14K of cryptocurrencies; that represents a lot of money for me and yet when it drops by $2K in one day, I don't feel anything and I have no plans to sell.

I don't care much about what happens to it in fact. I wouldn't mind if it dropped by 90%; then I would buy more. Cryptocurrencies will always exist from this point forwards so they will always have value and it'll always be proportional to user attention. User attention is fickle/volatile but when you have it, it's valuable.

It's like religion; religious organizations offer no intrinsic economic value and yet they make a lot of money and their assets are worth billions.
Feel free to explain it to me.

"
Under no/low memory contention

[...]

Without swap: We cannot swap out rarely-used anonymous memory, as it’s locked in memory. While this may not immediately present as a problem, on some workloads this may represent a non-trivial drop in performance due to stale, anonymous pages taking space away from more important use."

Now imagine that I have no memory contention. In other words I've got 8 Gigs of memory and I have never run out of memory. The OOM killer has never run. I've never even come close. How exactly is this representing a non-trivial drop in performance?

To be fair, if I put some of my long running processes into swap, I could cache more files, but I really don't see how this represents a statistically significant improvement. I honestly can't think of anything else.

If you sometimes run out of memory (or even get close), then you should have some swap. This seems fairly obvious to me. Relying on the OOM killer to "clean things up" is pretty dubious. But was there every any serious argument to do this? I've literally never heard of that before.

I'd be very happy to hear something enlightening about this, but I didn't see anything in the article (perhaps I missed it).

BTW: Digging through few pages, I found one article[0] that I had to recite and write it back out based on memory on class when I was a mid schooler, that was really a bad experience back then :D. But the article itself however is deep and worth a read (if you know ancient Chinese of course).

Me and my partner generate enough dirty dishes between us that a dishwasher is a wonderful thing to have.

Maybe it's my cooking techniques that are the problem. I do somehow manage to use 6 pans to make a dinner for 2.
> Wash my dishes, dry them and put them away completely automatically.

Get two dishwashers (or a two-drawer dishwasher). When one is dirty, put it on, and use the clean dishes from the other. Continue rotating dishes between dishwashers, forever.

Machine Learning Function as a Service (ML FaaS)
I don't think that's the issue, here: the person who opened the issue is complaining about legal mention not being there, not about the code being reused.

This is not a minor problem, because turn over is high in developers world. If you don't leave a comment mentioning the code came from somewhere else, it's easy a few years later for a new dev to think their predecessors wrote that code and to recommend their company to sue projects around where they see the same code (possibly without legal mention too).

Not to mention that when you give your code for free and make other people's job easier, the least you deserve is to be credited.

> how much time did I spend waiting to swap-in a page

You can do this with eBPF/BCC by using funclatency (https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/blob/master/tools/funclatency...) to trace swap related kernel calls. It depends on exactly what you want, but take a look at mm/swap.c and you'll probably find a function which results in the semantics you want.
Of course it is. All those who mention blockchain have forgotten one big thing.

The problem is not how the payments / verification is implemented, but the community/users behind it.

Who is waiting for an implementation on pure blockchain, when we all know that you need to solve a real problem. Not specifying how you are going to implement it. In the case of Kodak, you need to attract the users to create a marketplace.

Eg. Uber, Airbnb, Google, Microsoft, Apple, ... All are based on fixing a problem. They won't ever need to specify "how they do it" to attract users.

Telegram Open Network (TON) White Paper [pdf] (unconfirmed)
I don't understand the point of the whole "shipping" fetish and the "maker" culture that goes with it. Even when I'm probably considered part of it!

Specifically the focus on the quantity of shipping, not so much the quality. I'm afraid it might set a weird example for new comers. And the use of the word "shipping" also has changed quite a bit over the last two years. You used to ship a release. That is what I would call "shipping", but now people are updating texts and tweeting and moving a picture 3px and call that "shipping". The OP luckily doesn't fall into that trap.

I'm probably too old/jaded/cynical or just not the target audience. I'll write the "I shipped one thing in three year" blog post...

That's just an argumentum ad misericordiam (appeal to pity, sob story). These modifications to the Linux kernel weren't even the core of the TiVo product, and the TiVo product was an end user solution consisting of hardware, software, and support (so a full stack, like an Apple TV or an Nvidia Shield). He's also ignoring the patent argument, and the fact that the Linux kernel is licensed under GPLv2 or later (EDIT: I stand corrected; licensed under GPLv2. That doesn't change the point though).

His argument wasn't rare back in those days though (we're talking about a time where Microsoft was still dominant and actively hampering the FOSS movement), and it was an argument for BSD license as well.

The way companies have worked around GPLv2 and GPLv3 is Web 2.0/3.0: HTTP(S) and HTML/JS being proprietary software, though the source is readable, and the entire stack behind it (ie. akin to LAMP) which generates the data having the ability to be part of a closed source or proprietary ecosystem. They furthermore locked it down with things like paywalls, apps (instead of website or PWA which might give the users some power back). In such a world, how can us mere mortal users even verify things like GDPR?

The FSF foresaw this, btw, and IIRC (at the very least free software advocates foresaw it) considered having the GPLv3 apply on protocols like HTTP(S). That didn't fly though, and resulted in obvious backfire as well because it went against the business model of many for profits...
I make profits on something like 95% of my trades when I'm trading manually. I do so because I have a bunch of rules that I stick to... If a market is too 'hot' I don't touch it. If the market turns right when I buy I set my profitable limit and let it sit until the market does eventually flip back around and the trade fills.
This ruleset that I stick to is essentially a basic algorithm. An algorithm that could be improved upon vastly by adding on-the-fly TA and sound, complex math (that my brain is too slow to calculate).
Those who believe an algo can't reliably make profits trading also believe that humans can't reliably make profits trading since every decision we make is a result of some form of algorithm.

I mean, it really depends on your application how non-trivial the performance improvement will be, but this statement isn't theoretical -- memory bound systems are a major case where being able to transfer out cold pages to swap can be a big win. In such systems, having optimal efficiency is all about having this balancing act between overall memory use without causing excessive memory pressure -- swap can not only reduce pressure, but often is able to allow reclaiming enough pages that we can increase application performance when memory is the constraining factor.
Is that not effectively the same as having two smaller dishwashers?

Does this mean that people without engineering degrees should not apply to "frontend engineer" positions?
