People "voluntarily choose" to not starve or wind up homeless.

That's a very narrow definition of "voluntary".

Show me people doing things they would do even if they weren't getting paid to do it. That's voluntary.

True. Going into a little bit more detail of what I mentioned though, all of the high demand schools I know of have other nearby schools that are in low demand. Typically, the high demand school is in a wealthy neighborhood (let's say Brooklyn Heights), and the low demand school is in a bordering poorer neighborhood (Vinegar Hill).

So, the city would not be surge charging for a necessity, just a preference for a high demand school. Likewise, most people would prefer to drive if they could, but the physical limitations of the system require that most people take public transport.
Here's what I think the most chilling takeaway is. People who have no appreciation for details do not know anything. They are dangerous people who will conclude incorrect things with certainty on a regular basis.
Scrum is a sad joke. But corporate loves feeling "safe", with estimates in hand, even if they readily blow out. Usually it ends up with "watergile", a total mess.

You can just time kanban tickets vs estimated size (all the forecasting, tracking, etc, should be done by a manager, without wasting the team's time) combined with pulling from the right hand side and vigorous action towards blockers. Optimise for throughput.

During the best version of this, as I experienced, we spent about 5 minutes in the morning as a team, and occasionally visited the board throughout the day (not as a team, sometimes as a pair, to discuss something and add/move tickets). My manager at the time spent some time at the end of each week by himself collecting cards and doing the tracking to make the higher-ups happy.
If you also want to know if intel has released a microcode update for your CPU yet (regardless of whether or not it's available in your distro yet):

Download the latest archive from Intel at https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/27431/Linux-Proces... (currently microcode-20180108.tgz) then:

tar -xzf microcode-20180108.tgz
sudo apt install iucode-tool # or whatever your package manager is
iucode-tool -tb -lS ./intel-ucode/*

This will crosscheck the microcode binaries with the signature of your CPU and output something like:

001: sig 0x00010676, pf mask 0x01, 2010-09-29, rev 0x060f, size 4096
002: sig 0x00010676, pf mask 0x04, 2010-09-29, rev 0x060f, size 4096
003: sig 0x00010676, pf mask 0x10, 2010-09-29, rev 0x060f, size 4096
004: sig 0x00010676, pf mask 0x40, 2010-09-29, rev 0x060f, size 4096
005: sig 0x00010676, pf mask 0x80, 2010-09-29, rev 0x060f, size 4096

As you can see Intel hasn't released any updates for my old CPU (latest is from 2010)
Worth noting that the CC in London operates for 15 years now. I’m sure there is a wealth of data that can be analysed, and I’m even more sure that there are a number of studies and papers that have explored its usefulness and positive/negative impact on traffic/economy/environment/public transportation.

WebGPU will almost certainly include support for general purpose compute shaders, which pretty much removes the need for a dedicated compute API:

(besides, building a new API on top of OpenCL would be questionable given that OpenCL is all but dead at this point)
> As far as I can tell, their meltdown mitigations are similar to what's in the upstream kernel now,

I haven't checked, but I'd be surprised. Basically all the backports except 4.14's are quite different from upstream's.
Ok, but what if there's a power outage????? /s
Yeah, hence my "laws of physics" thing at the end. I am just saying that it would be interesting if that was something reasonable to do.
> The more you have been rewarded in life for being smart and knowing everything, the more you felt intelligent, the less chance you had of making a startup work. You just weren't able to admit all the things you didn't know.

I think there's something to this, but I want to present an alternative, which is that the more I know, the more I know what I don't know. And with regards to startups and business, the effect of this that I can observe is one of paralysis. I am scared to death of committing to any idea because I can see right away many of the unknowns, and I fear the unknown unknowns. After some education, I have enough history of thinking I know something and then discovering that I basically know nothing, that I am scared to ever say, well THIS is the idea that is going to work out, I'll put all my money and effort for the next 10 years into THIS because I am sure. Sadly, the more I know, the less sure I am about anything, and it makes me unwilling to take risks. Not just business -- even deciding what to study next, what jobs to apply to, or what side project to begin -- every time I start something that seems simple enough, it takes about 5 minutes to realize I have no idea what I'm doing and have to evaluate whether it's worth pouring more time into. Result: things don't get done. Because there is no done. I do learn a lot however. But for what? Personal growth I guess. But I have no idea what to do with it. I really envy those people who are able to decide they are going to solve a specific problem, that it's worth it to do so, and are able to see it through to the end, instead of learning everything they can about it, getting bored, and moving on, which seems to be my pattern. In the end, for me, it is the learning that is motivating, not the goal, and that has terrible consequences for what you describe. Perhaps "successful at startups" is not the only metric, but at least for that metric, it is maybe not good to take the "I'm going to learn everything about this before actually doing anything" approach.
Microservices Prerequisites (2017)
I appreciate what you're saying, but for devices with long lifetimes things may not be so clear. Consider a wifi device with a >15 year lifetime. Let's say such a device was built with SDR and FPGA, it conformed to 802.11b, and it used twice the power of an equivalent ASIC design. But 15 years later, this device was able to upgrade in software to 802.11ac, and so it was able to take advantage of spatial multiplexing and higher-order modulation to lower its power usage. So now this device uses twice as much power as an equivalent 802.11ac ASIC, but maybe it's more power efficient than that 802.11b ASIC from 15 years earlier.

I guess what I'm saying is that by allowing a device to upgrade in software to more power-efficient designs, you might claw back some of the efficiency lost by using an FPGA when you consider the entire product's lifetime.
My biggest issue with blockchain is scalablity, which is proving to be a bigger and bigger problem as more people are into cryptocurrencies.

Are there actual solutions to this problem?
In Italian we have a saying that roughly translates as “To know an artist, study his art”.

One of the things that annoys me most (and I'm not a professional programmer, and I'm definitely not ‘hip’ as I'm out of the software industry and about as far from the geographical epicentre of the software industry as can be), is the ever-present Hacker News (and elsewhere) commentary to the effect that “nice, but I wouldn't have used $LANG to build this project”, totally ignoring the fact that the developer in question actually got his act together and started working (for free, for everybody) with the tools he knows and prefers for the task.

Sounds more like a bug than they just decided to hide the entire form from people who select Mexico...although I didn't bother to start the application process to verify that.
The image of the tech titan that got started in their garage was the standard thing not that long ago. I actually can't remember the last time I saw it. Now it seems like it's "get in the ground floor on someone else's world-changing startup."

Is this just my limited perspective or has the narrative really shifted?
If you're like my old boss, just tell the employees to assemble their own desks, and then wonder why all these developers who requested a standing desk, are still using their old sit down desks.
Improperly cared for, however, and they will rust or worse.

Over longer time spans, the tools sometimes become outdated in terms of one's productivity while using, assuming non-artistic motivation for use.

Old motorized tools are more prone to this than mechanical-type tools. Which maybe gives some insight as to the factors that contribute to obsolescence. There are exceptions, of course, but generally my grandfather's hand tools are still perfectly serviceable while his motorized tools often have more drawbacks than benefits to use. A 50-year circular saw is as heavy as a boat anchor and is a huge pain in the ass to adjust and use compared to newer options.
Don't blame yourself. Go read argument culture. Everything is positioned as a debate rather then a discussion ; take an opposing side and it's about winning not understanding. As an example If you've caught yourself ever leveraging syntax in a discussion to derail someone's ideas
From a cursory glance at the BASH one it seems pretty well organized and thorough. It is not overloaded with information, but gives a good overview of what's possible.

Some specific things I noticed in the BASH book: it says this about cp:

> -a … Combines the d, p and r options

But it doesn't show what -r means.

It could benefit from better discussion of using if without brackets with [] and with [[]]-It discusses them, but I wish it gave better insight on when to use them.

All in all, very handy reference material and I will be grabbing a few more to have on hand.
Emphatically disagree. We're not creating art, we're creating solutions. Nor are we creating those solutions in a vacuum, we're actually satisfying several constraints: delivery dates, features, cost of maintenance, cost of enhancements, the number of people we have available for each of those activities, and so forth. It's plain to see there's no such thing as "perfect code" except in the most trivial of circumstances. Understanding these constraints and how they impact your architecture, design and actual code is all part of becoming a master programmer.
I agree with this, at least with the caveat that places that might do better tend to be much smaller. Friends from other countries who have tried to question why the U.S. seems to have so much trouble with this don't seem to be factoring in challenges from our diversity, history, and even the high level of freedom that citizens have to express themselves.
Interesting, even the highlighted research on that page is about copy number rather than point mutations, indels, etc, being important:

All public goods are taxed even if they don't have associated fees. So, if we were to move everything to a fee-for-usage system, I don't think you'd like the result since the wealthy pay an extraordinarily outsized portion of funding for public goods and services (which they use far less than the average person). The poor would still be excluded because the new fee would be at least the existing tax+fee, plus some additional increased amount to account for the wealthier people who were paying an outsized portion through income tax previously. Now that rich person gets to pay the same $x as the poor person. The poor person is still priced out in your scenario.

As an employee and a founder of a company his viewpoint seems to go against what has made the most effective teams I've worked with. You should focus on outputs not inputs when working. If someone can do the work of someone else with a fraction of the effort that person should be rewarded not punished. I don't know anyone who can work 14 hour days regularly and still be productive. If someone is doing that, it is a red flag for me to know that something is broken or that person is incompetent and needs to be let go.
Anyone seen performance metrics Vs depth capabilities of iPhone 8 or X?
The simplest way of looking at this is that the more power you divide up among increasingly small segments of your population, the more you divide the house.

In China, there is the objective of China, where there is a singular focus on what is good for the people and the country. Groups that would take away from this to empower their own group are viewed as attacking the collective.

America until the middle of the 1960s or so was like this to a large extent. Various minorities (Italians, Irish, Eastern Europeans) entered the country, kept separate identities for a while, but eventually integrated into the whole. The death of John F. Kennedy signaled the end of a unified America and the birth of a far more divided house.

Today, America has fractured into a litany of squabbling sects. In China, you have the Chinese. In America, what used to be called "Americans" are now called whites, blacks, Latinos, Asians, Indians, Arabs, gays, straights, bisexuals, pansexuals, transexuals, liberals, conservatives, nationalists, globalists, Christians, atheists, Muslims, Jews. There are feminists and men's rights activists and Black Lives Matter and the Alt-Right. Each sect wants the spotlight; it wants advantages over other groups (masked with euphemisms like "equality" or "recognition" or "reparations"); and it views the overall identity of the country as an oppressive enemy that must be fought.

That is not to say one condition is better than the other. These seem to be natural cycles nations go through. John Glubb notes the Byzantines squabbling amongst themselves over their divisions as the Ottomans blew holes in the walls around their city in 1453. [1] Byzantium, like America, had been the world's greatest super power at one time too. It seems likely the slide into infighting and decadence is a natural state of every nation advanced in the cycles of civilizations.

But of course, a people that spends its time tip-toeing around and arguing about what labels to use to refer to this group and who can use that word and who can't use that word and how many of which group you have to hire to not get sued has very different priorities and will achieve very different outcomes than a people that is relentlessly focused on a more singular, unified objective, other things being equal.

In America's case, I suppose the question is: do the benefits of diversity (which has become a sort of national religion over the past two decades) outweigh the costs?

The test case of American "maximum diversity" vs. Chinese maximal industriousness may prove as close as we'll get to a controlled study on how these two very different national priorities stack up against one another head-to-head on the world stage over the coming decades.

Place your bets now folks....

I don't know how much they contributed to Ubuntu but if they also plan to contribute to Debian than it will eventually(matter of months) end up in Ubuntu.
The only way to think like this is to have never left the US. Unfortunately, too many American grow up not having the exposure of how people speak in the rest of the world. Ever seen an entire soccer stadium erupt into monkey calls when a black player kicks a goal? You don’t know what a climate of racism is.

Americans think they are surrounded by racism, they have no idea what that actually means.

So, he's basically indicating to companies he may potentially invest in that they need to start hiring Chinese to do the actual work because they're cheaper and work longer ours.
Fair point, but choosing the electricity crisis as an example is not helping your claim - the Apartheid lot left us with something like 50% overcapacity and almost the cheapest electricity in the world at the time. We actually have less electricity generating capacity right now than at that time. The lack of generting capacity has severely constrained our economy since. When the crisis first bit in the 2000s, many mines had to shut down for the first time in 200 years of continuous operations.

The government had an initial plan to redirect overcapacity in many areas (not just electricity) to rolling out services to those neglected by the Apartheid govt, and then after that to start building infrastructure again (not sure of specifics, maybe 5 years on?). The problem is that in most cases, this never happened. Hence the limits of most infrastructure are gradually being hit, with a knock-on effect for the economy.
Agreed, this is incredible - especially to have something that can be perused in physical format.

Looking through some of the examples for the languages I know well enough to judge, these seem to be good quality. As a simple case in point, for how to open a file in Python they only show using a context manager. Even though you can easily read files without that, it is the better, safer, perhaps slightly-more-intermediate-level option and also makes a person more familiar with context managers in general. So it is nice to see best practices presented as the defaults.
That project must be really old, because I remember being excited about it at the same time I was excited about Emacs.
While I agree in principle poor people are going to be hit by this the hardest and that's something that has to be taken into account in public policy.
Makes me think of observations I've made about cooking in better restaurants. It doesn't pay well and the work requires skill/experience and long hours, and demand (at least here) is extremely high.

High demand, high skill... why doesn't it pay better? The only answer is that there must be some other benefits to the field. They have to pay people better to work in an office because office work sucks a lot more.
It also indicates a timeline, where cars would have to pay by 2020.

When I was down in Dallas, they have two parallel roadways - one which is the paid-for express version and one which is free. You can pay to get on the less-congested highway or choose to take the more congested, but free, highway. Maybe something like that for NYC would work? But with NYC's layout, I have no idea how that would work. Dallas has plenty of space to make that possible.

I use a tool called "Dash.app" for Mac from Kapeli [1] (I've no affiliation with them). It allows me to download the documentation for a lot of development tools for offline consumption, these docs are called "Docsets", just to give you an idea of how many docsets it has check this link [3]. It makes also very easy to navigate and search.

You can also download a "tag" from stackoverflow which is very useful.

I know there is now alternatives for several operative systems using the same docsets [2].

I can't recommend this app enough, it is worth every penny.

> Interop relies on a single standard as a benchmark

Not so! Imagine that each processor is made by their own company (to simplify it) and has its own ISA. Thus, processor A can emulate processors B and C, B can emulate A and C, and C can emulate A and B.
It's not a matter of it being a waste of space, even, but a waste of time. The first person in a FC to even see an item after the boxes get offloaded from the trucks is probably a stower who is being paid as little as possible to do nothing but scan whatever ASINs are in front of them and shove things into the bins as fast as possible.

Any random bin can contain books, food, electronics, jewelry, anything from anywhere as it gets picked from, restowed into, counted and recounted, etc. There's little room for quality control before items are available for purchase, because the system is optimized to get as many things listed on the site as quickly as possible. There are many ways in which the process could be made more robust, but it won't be because doing so would cost precious seconds.
