>>No amount of gifted skill is a threshold for crossing that behavior barrier.

Sure there is. You would rather have Linus in your life who yells at people than not. Linus being an asshole is something you have to deal with to get access to his intelligence. I suggest you make peace with this understanding, as it applies to far more people than Linus.
>Most of the time it does take about 30 seconds, also you don't have to get your stuff out of your bag and you know all along how much you're going to pay.

And this latter has an interesting side effect.

At the time these readers were introduced the "message" to the public was "your convenience, faster checkout" (while actually the reason was "let us reduce the number of cashiers").

What was soon found out was that the "poor man's average shopping" was raised by some 10-15%.

Imagine you go to the supermarket and you only have in your pocket a single 50 Euro (or 50 dollars) note.

You put things in your basket making a mental calculation of the total amount in order to avoid, when you checkout, if the total is more than 50, to have to leave some item (and also to avoid the "social shame").

With the new method, where you can see your progressive total, that kind of shopping has raised from 42-45 to 48-50, i.e. people use "all they have" without risking to "look bad".

> Services consuming other services, sounds like recipe for spaghetti.

Can we extend that logic to classes or interfaces? Accessing data operations through a well-established API is generally seen as a good thing and is the exact cure for spaghetti...

Service APIs also entail load balancing and decoupled deployments, so they eliminate unclear architecture that arises at the app level when trying to tune the whole for individual components. Particularly when a shared component exist across multiple systems.

For a generalized microservices architecture: layering is a bit of a misnomer as everything is loosely in the same 'service' layer... I'd also point out that in N-tiered applications application services or domain services calling other services at the same layer is seen as the solely approved channel for re-use, not an anti-pattern.
>> There is really no evidence that if he uses strong but less abusive language the work won't get done.

That is because there is no other copy of Linus. There's plenty of other lesser software developers who can't do a tenth of what Linus did in his life.
This is so stupid. For one, people tend to have herd mentality. An article seen the wrong way could trigger an immense backfire where a medium's credibility tanks in a matter of days. And then it would take years to reverse the damage.

Furthermore, it opens the way for anyone with a botnet of infected machines to rig the credibility of any news outlet to his liking.
About trust: You could distribute the load randomly, and do double work, if two data sets doesn't give the same output you do the calculation again and blacklist the node that was wrong.
I've seen recommendations for not taking notes in class as well.

But your position suggests that taking notes is indeed the worst thing to do in class. How can that be? No qualifications or downplays like "for most people" or "bad"?

What I mean is that unless you have the results of Cal Newport or Jordan Peterson your extreme position does not carry the same weight as theirs.
Why not the other way around? You have the fix enabled and if you don't know you get protected by default. If you really know better then you can disable the fix (via a special CPU instruction), because you know you're not running anything critical?
This was a more thought out answer than my comment deserved. I left FF some time ago as it was feeling bloated and I hated the rounded look. I'll reconsider FF from your comment, particularly in regards the the note on ad-blocking.
YouTube at least stops the autoplay when you are not looking at the tab or while scrolling down through the comments. A behavior I much prefer compared to the usual news sites behavior of "Let's just play this video, hidden somewhere halfway down the site in a side-frame, no matter what".
I suppose this means formal or accidental training in art and shared taste with the art market community. I presume the minimal level of skill is identifying famous artists' work from similar pieces of not-so-famous artists, recognizing influences and obvious pastiches, and so on.

I.e. someone who had credibility among the art crowd and whos purchase of a work will function as social proof of the gallerists' brand.
The difference being Intel/Linus and a government and TdR, who is quite a bit more acerbic than Linus... and the government less tolerant of comments as such.

Still, a good find. Also, Unices! Not a word I've heard before.
>And honestly, with that in mind your remark looks like a thinly-veiled snobbish remark about how you don't fall for any of that.

I'm just dismissing the consumer market as mostly irrelevant in this context, not trying to make any snobbish remarks. We aren't discussing phones or laptops.

Call me crazy, but I would imagine that big Intel customers do not base their purchasing decisions on what Ars Technica, LinusTechTips or Tweakers.net have to say.

More generally, an opt-in switch to disable unsafe behaviour expresses a clear intent to preserve the unsafe behaviour for the foreseeable future.

Disabling unsafe behaviour for good on current chips and removing it from future ones would be equally easy, and clearly it isn't Intel's intent.

Plausible reasons, apart from looking good in benchmarks, include ease of access for their three-letter friends and not bothering with the cost of designing safe and high performance processors.
The Policy Hack
Actually, maybe not for Windows 3.1 (it did run in this) but there was a shim layer where the developers inplemebted something called uwinapi. Thus implemented NT functions for Windows 95 and 98, and in fact it was used layer for a few functions that didn’t work in Windows XP but did in Vista.

There is a whole bunch of code in the SAL that works for OS/2 but it has maintenance overhead. Both uwinapi and the OS/2 port have been removed from Libreoffice.

As for a code dump before 2000 - man, I would love that. But sadly, it doesn’t exist. The Star/Sun/Oracle guys chanted VCSes a few times. They had a procedure for merging patches into the trunk that was insane - and we have lost the history of those branches so from between 2001 to 2009 the code becomes harder to follow.

Unfortunately, there are decisions that were made before 2000 but that’s lost to us now due to a lack of version history from before this point.

Completely disagree. Government RFPs are an order of magnitude more absurd than private sector bureaucratic requests. It's not even close.
We have a house rule that we re-roll 7s in the first two rounds. This after a 6 player game where the first round saw most people rolling a 7. It didn't particularly screw anyone, but it's just not a fun way to start the game.

Even with that rule, we usually only use the robber to hurt the leader. During the early game when nobody is clearly ahead, we prefer to place it on poor production fields, and use it just to steal a card.

This is not just fuzzy feel-good pacifism, it's good sense, because an enemy is not an asset, and it's harmful to make yourself a target. Hurt people who deserve it, but otherwise just go for the card.
If the surfers are swallowing that much water why aren't more of them carries? Is it possible some of them for some reason have a natural "immunity"?

Also, it's at least possible (in theory) it's not the water at all. What if, just an example, many of them have the same weed dealer? Perhaps not the ideal example. But life is complex and surfing might not be THE common tread for this situation.

Or what if they ate ice cream? (Note: I know the difference between bacteria and virus. The link is simply to suggest the possibility of some other "trigger.")

On a couple of occasions they refused to do that, not sure why. Still, what is the point of ticket machines and barriers if you are going to wave people through based on bouncer principles.
Ryanair allows you to change booking for a fee, as long as its not less than 5hrs before the flight.
Bug is that this feature is basically broken and I couldn't change the booking even more than 12hrs before the flight. The button for selecting a different flight does not work (you can search for different flights but cannot select one).
Because of this I was forced to book a different flight separately, which was more expensive than simply changing the existing flight.
Because there is no proper fix. The only fix comes with massive slowdown.

Typical Xbox games aren't implemented on UWP though, it's just a way for hobbyists to get small apps running on the Xbox without a costly developer account and devkits (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/xbox-apps/). The restriction of Microsoft games to the MS App Store is an entirely political decision. I'm certain the actual developers down in the trenches would be more than happy to code against plain Win32+D3D12 (or D3D11) and distribute their games through Steam.
Having a Linus who doesn't yell at people will be any day better than having one who abuses others at will. He needs to take anger management classes. We could seriously do with a little less high-headedness in the world.
You might want to look into Apache Kafka, with log compaction, which provides a model to accomplish exactly that while also handing message passing/data streaming.

Your data warehouse can suck facts from Kafka (with ETL on either side of the operation, or even integrated into Kafka if you so desire), and you can keep Kafka channels loaded with micro-"Truth"s (current accounts, current employees, etc). That way apps get basically real-time simplified access to the data warehouse while your data warehouse gets a client streaming story that's wicked scalable. And no coupling in between...

It's a different approach than some mainstream solutions, but IMO hits a nice goldilocks zone between application and service communication and making data warehousing in parallel realistic and digestible. YMMV, naturally :)
I think we have different meanings of "idle". There's idle in the sense of "this resource is reserved but not in use" and idle in the sense of "this resource is not reserved and can be used elsewhere".

Most folk want cold starts for economic reasons and warm starts for performance reasons. In a hosted setting you can't truly set your policy, you can only try to encourage by external stimuli.
I managed and worked on numerous projects like this and I know what you mean. However there is always a UAT phase that allows us to tackle issues like that. I dont think there was any kind of UAT phase here.
> so frequently

I am guessing you don't read the Linux mailing list if you think Linus goes off like this regularly. Maybe you're confusing it with the OpenBSD list and Theo.

Linus' comments like this make the news because of the content. If he did this all the time - frequently, as you posit - it wouldn't make the news all that often, as it would be normal. Linus isn't a guy who flies off the handle with regularity.

I have friends in politics and I have even run for office (School Board 17 people ran for 5 positions and 4 were re-elections I got 6th :( but my friend I was running with she got 5th :).

My job every election is to go to where the screamers and yellers are. For some reason the election official leaves these people outside that will yell and throw a tantrum if anyone even mentions a different opinion, which lowers voter turnout. So I stand there for either 20 minutes or 2 hours until I can get people to start dialoguing with me. It can be painful but I actually go through these exact steps and until someone is felt heard and emotionally calmed down and they will never care about a single word you say.

I hear how my friend has tens of thousands of dollars spent on his Man Cave in his basement and made all these crooked deals that they have proof of. I stand there and say have you been in his basement? He has a 20" TV a drum kit for 20 years ago and an ugly green carpet. I also want to say that he actually has personal debt and why would he be in the hole if he was raking in the money but ...

People just love to feel like they have superior knowledge to anyone they disagree with. This is why debates never change eachother's mind, because we hold on to certain "facts" when in all honesty they are opinion or speculation at best.

Help UX feedback needed
Hi,

I'm looking for feedback on a monitoring SaaS i'm working on for Docker/Kubernetes.

See here for Dashboard - https://cloud.cobe.io/topology/demo/ui/status

Would love honest feedback from the community with regarding the following

- Usefulness of visualising micro-services and their interdependencies?
- What you like about the Cobe UI?
- What you don't like?
- What’s your biggest frustration/challenge with using Kubernetes/Docker?
- Is there anything which can be done better?

Thanks in advance for reading, and I hope you can take 2 mins to review and submit your thoughts.
I am a big defender of Linus, but:

>> His attacks and critique are never on the personal basis

This is really not true. Linus takes it way too far from time to time. The person is always in the wrong, but Linus goes well beyond what is necessary.

Again, I get it and I don't mind. But he makes it personal occasionally.

> Moore's law works on transistor density,

I thought it was transistor count in IC's?

If we assume that for state of the art chips the area is more or less fixed (by speed of light, manufacturing constraints, thermal constraints etc) then there is no difference between "transistor density" and "transistor count" - but is that the case? Is there no margin for die growth (Disregarding yield/cost - considering only physical constraints)?
When you're working in a GCed language you assume your language's GC is responsible for freeing memory. When you interoperate with a language where owners are responsible for freeing memory, you have to have a way to "disown" structures you've created but passed into the ownership language (e.g. a callback you've passed to a library function) so that your GC doesn't free them, and a way to "own" structures you've received from the ownership language (e.g. values returned from library functions) so that your GC does free them, and neither of these things will be easy/natural in your language.

When you interoperate with another GCed language it's even harder, virtually impossible, because both languages' GCs assume they own everything and so anything that's visible in both languages will be freed twice.
>> C++

This is the only way you can get Linus to really lose his shit. I'm surprised his comments in this Intel thing approach the level of anger he has for C++. It's my barometer for how important something is to him.
Warm vs cold start is not a very meaningful comparison, though. Lambda typically scales from zero. Any warm system is going to greatly outperform a cold one. Java on Lambda can vary from nanoseconds to seconds, depending on whether you hit a warm copy or a cold start.

Kids are always playing the "game" ;).

In this case, they won't get anything out of crying, so I guess it is purely out of frustration.

A lot of times, the winner also enjoys rubbing it in, and making the others cry. Kids have all the survival emotions, and none of the social skills to hold back on them. But that's probably our job as a parent, to teach them the social skills.

Better they learn it now, that when that colleague got that manager job they thought they were entitled to.
> I wish people in this thread would stop turning the discussion into a straw-man argument about Linus’s language and focus their attention to the technical and security problems at hand.

There wasn't much of a technical and security discussion in what was posted. Linus spent his time writing about his feelings and how hurt they were that someone did something he didn't like. Very little of substance or merit was communicated. If you consistently behave like a petulant child in a leadership role, expect people to gawk at it.
Rust has the same level of rigour, other than lacking totality. Not having dependent types makes properties a lot more cumbersome and less practical to encode, but the actual proofs you get of the properties you do model are just as valid as those in Coq and Idris (modulo nontermination).
>> Having a Linus who doesn't yell at people

And having my cake and eating it too in every scenario would be great. That's not how things work all the time. It's up to you to deal with it, not Linus to change. He's the scarce resource. He has the leverage. You're just someone on the Internet mad.

If properly fixed chips are 3 years out, what are they doing for 2018/19? Are they just going to keep making small tweaks to their current chips, and sell them with the known flaws?

> Yes, everything is expensive in the beginning until it's not.

Some things will always stay more expensive than their cheaper alternatives, case in point: Organic farmed meat vs mass farmed.

The former will always stay more expensive than the later because you can produce that much more meat on the same space, you can produce it cheaper by feeding lesser quality food to the animals.

Is the resulting meat a "better meat"? No, but it is the cheaper meat and that's still what the vast majority of consumers are looking for.

> I dislike comments like this that seem to just be dismissive of a new technology without adding any real insight.

It wasn't meant to be dismissive about the technology, merely pointing out that as long as this ain't cost competitive it will just be another niche solution for the "Let's feel better about ourselves by throwing money around" crowd and we already have plenty of those.

Silicon Valley/SF is a microcosmos on its own, some things might work there, yet rarely do these things scale up outside of that niche-customer market, but that's exactly the kind of solution we need if we want large parts of humanity to change their ways about how they treat animals and animal products.
