(Sorry about the formatting.... I tried <code>).
Anyway, TL/DR it cannot find boost.

> "Can you do copy-and-paste between the Slackware in the VM and Windows, and can you do file / folder sharing?"

Yes, to the extent VirtualBox allows it. Make sure you have it turned on in the VM's settings and the Guest Additions are installed.

> "am not sure what you mean by "will by default float behind any Windows-native windows"."

Sorry, I just meant that the VM apps are treated like any other Windows object and aren't "always on top" or "always on bottom". Let's say you have the VM running as I described, and you open a Windows application. That application will be the "top" layer because it has focus; the VM won't override it. If you then click on the title bar of a Linux application, it gets pulled to the front and the virtualized app becomes the app with focus, along with the Xfce panel, but there's no opaque "desktop" layer blocking any Windows apps underneath it, as it would be if it weren't in Seamless mode.

In short, it does what it says on the tin: Host and Guest apps work together seamlessly as if it were all one OS with one "desktop".
And add big Gtk+ dependency to the library (and in result, all the games that use it) just to get the window decorations drawn on a single windowing system? Which will probably look ugly and out of place on non-Gtk+ DEs anyway? That's an unacceptable idea.
Actually, the use case is not cloud image at all.
One of the first problems was how to overcome having preinstalled cloud-init, polipo and other packages shipped with the OS cloud images.
Wow. That is a really apt critique of the culture you are describing.

It sounds like you're basically saying that as with programming styles, wellness, activism, and everything else in the world: there is a basis of truth that underpins data-centric management, but you can easily make it into a cult.

You put that idea together so succinctly - thank you.
Nice idea.

Name not so great for Spanish speakers https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=joder
This is kind of a meta comment, but I’ve been lurking on HN for a while on car posts in particular.

I have the impression that HN in general doesn’t like cars all that much, and in fact we would be much better of without them.

I can’t argue with the facts: congestion and pollution in large cities, such as London, have never been higher where almost all on-road public transport is still run on diesel.

However, I think driving for a lot of people is a liberating and pleasurable experience. and, before we go there, I’m not talking about being stuck in traffic, which is often a issue with poor planning and lack of infrastructure investment rather than an issue with cars themselves, but the pure pleasure of driving.

I’m quite concerned that self driving cars will take this simple pleasure and satisfaction from us, and perhaps that’s just a selfish opinion. I don’t know?
MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012). I've done it, because Final Cut Pro demanded it. Regrets, because Photos.app is now severely broken and causes high loads to the point where my mouse pointer (or beach ball) freezes intermittently (which, in my opinion, should be impossible on a modern computer system). Can't really process photos now. Extremely shameful work from Apple there.

Finder bugs have been persisting since Yosemite, with a very common one where drag & drop stops working until Finder is force restarted. APFS conversion went well and problem free. Even homebrew survived (mostly).

Strange USB problems persist, but they seem to be hardware related and ever present on this generation machine (first one with USB 3).
In Germany there's a bunch of different options when signing up with a provider, eg I have one where I pay 2€ extra per month for 100 SMS which is plenty for me. For 4€ I'd get like 300 or so. Its the same pricing for free minutes for domestic calls (normal landline or mobile, no service numbers obviously).
I think that’s the crux of the problem. In the real world, 6s do have a chance with 8s, 9s, 10s. In dating apps, because of the scattershot approach, they don’t.

“At scale” is f*ucking with how humans operate, and not for the better.
This also appears to be the case. though until you said I didn't realize...

I'd just like to add that one of the key things I love about the current crypto craze is the fact that it gives us something that never existed before - the capability to monetize protocols. I know that most ICOs will fail, but through this process we might get something that solves this shitty situation with chat applications.
This is a worthless analogy, because some software is paired down and is "built for india" it sucks?

Spot on. In my last startup failure I think there were two major lessons:

- You can never really be sure of your co-founders personal goals or priorities until there is a crisis situation that forces them to be surfaced.

- In crisis situations, nothing else matters more than power structures, both formal and informal. (Conversely, outside of crises, power structures generally lurk beneath the surface while ths sun is shinning.)

Tactical lessons would be to ensure any venture you are a part of you are hedged from finding yourself behind a single-point-of-failure in the power structure, be it a co-founder, an investor, a partner, or a client. Always have an escape hatch or at lease an assurance than in any particular crisis you will have options to influence the outcome, and not be gated by a singular entity's decisions or influence.
Certainly if you don't want to make a profit: startups are the ideal model.

This article has some good ideas, but I'd be more wary of coaches; they can be enablers instead of arbitrators. Even more so than marriage counselors, I see incentive for them to act on behalf of one side instead of the company as-a-whole.

That's what I observed in one of my previous gigs, where the coach served as half-inquisitor, half-message-therapist: interrogating senior staff with subtle questions like "who are the enemies of the founders?", "Who is against the company?, while reassuring the CEO of his own enlightenment.

To be fair, this life coach wouldn't have been paid if they told the CEO the truth.

After all, who wants to be told what they already know?
TBH if I wanted that type of experience I would just install a Linux distribution on a separate partition myself and dual boot. But I need access to some Adobe and video conferencing apps that aren't available for Linux. Having a Linux VM running on Windows seems ideal in that regard.

AlphaZero is a good counterexample. In contrast to AlphaGo, it has no priors.
Yes that is how a vaccine works. This new drug is not a vaccine it is an anti-viral. It does not rely on immunity so it would be pointless to extrapolate your knowledge of vaccines to anti-virals.

There is no information in the article to suggest that influenza is likely to be able to use a similar mutation strategy to become resistant to this anti-viral which has an entirely different method of operation.

If you would like to post a source about anti-viral immunity then I would be interested to read it, but sources about vaccines are irrelevant.
The best part of WSL is that X clients work flawlessly (to the extent I tried, which is very little) with a native Windows X server like mobaxtrem. This includes e.g. Terminator.

The fact that gaining access to the 1080p stream is so trivial makes it hard not to suspect Netflix (or the content studios supplying them with content) from deliberately providing a poorer experience for users of open platforms — Netflix refuses to serve anything over 720p to users of Chrome and Firefox (or derivatives) — in order to goad you into using their proprietary clients. User/software freedom apparently is a threat to their business model.

It sucks being labelled an untrustworthy customer despite paying for 1080p content.
Again, just to get back to the statement which launched this thread:

Studies like this are hard, because they're usually labeled 'racist',
or it turns into an ad hominem attack on the authors, or struck down
in the media for singling out some minority group.

You stated this was not true, upon which many reactions - mine amongst them - came with citations to prove that the original claim was, indeed, true. I presented a few examples to prove this point but you keep on talking around the issue - "studies are labelled racist, authors are attacked verbally" (and sometimes physically, see the actions of Antifa/AFA and several islamist groups). The result of this is yet again shown by a study published by the Swedish defence academy ("Försvarshögskolan") which was recently published. To quote from an article published today on SVT (Sweden's national broadcaster) about the fact that Sweden has become a recruiting ground for islamic terrorism due to the fact that this activity was close to risk-free in this country [1]:

Vilken roll kan det ha spelat?

– Jag tror att den aktivism som fanns mot både Säkerhetspolisen
och de som försökte lyfta allvaret i de här frågorna. Det gjorde
att tröskeln blev högre för både politiker och andra att ge sig
in i det här området, säger han.

– Man riskerade att bli utpekad som rasist på ett sätt som man
inte såg i andra europeiska länder. Där var den här frågan lika
okontroversiell som vikten av att bekämpa nazism och högerextremism.
Men i Sverige tog det lång tid innan det gick att diskutera jihadismen
på samma sätt som vi under lång tid diskuterat nazism, säger Hyllengren.

Translated:

What role can this have played?

– I think that the activism against both the security services and those
who tried to point out the seriousness of the situation [played a role].
This made that the bar was raised both for politicians and other who
would dare to speak out on these subjects, he said.

– You ran the risk of being pointed out as racist in a way which was not
seen in other European countries. There this question was as uncontroversial
as the importance of fighting nazism and right-wing extremism. In Sweden on
the other hand it took a long time before it was possible to discuss jihadism
in the same way we've been discussing nazism for a long time, says Hyllengren.

This is, yet again, a literal quote proving the point of the original statement which launched this thread. While it is possible to discuss the finer details of what and why and how the extreme-left wants to put a racist label on this but no that, the fact stands and the effects it has on society are chilling. Where freedom of expression was once a stalwart talking point for the traditional 'left' the current stance taken by many of those identifying themselves as 'left-wing' is an anathema to this foundation of the enlightened society.

No.. it's "watch what the industry is doing and learn it ". Or, admit the front end is now a full specialization that you don't have, and understand you're not qualified until you learn some new tools and akills.
Rereading it I can see how it might sound like a joke... it's not. Truly very sad, they let you go back to using the old interface but sometimes you get jolted back into the new one and there's no way to access some of the old options... maybe if you have a really old browser user-agent you can trick it into only giving you the old interface?

It’s the same thing that’s happening to VR and lots of other things that are getting hyped before the hard problems are solved.

There’s been a serious epidemic in the last decade or so of mistaking solving the low hanging fruit for being “almost there.”

3D printing works ok for prototyping in certain scenarios, but it got hyped up for things it was nowhere near doing. Similarly everyone jumped all over VR assuming solving the hard problems that have always plagued it were just around the corner. Willfully ignorant over-optimism has been way too prevelant and I hope it is replaced with measured, informed pragmatism with lofty goals instead.
>Health - beyond the obvious effects on the emergency room, what else? Ambulances willl quite clearly be affected. Why would someone wait minutes for one to arrive when they can just hop in an autocar to go the hospital?

Besides ambulances (which should be used for emergencies where medical/paramedical assistance is needed on the spot),I mean you can take a taxi (or Uber) to go to the hospital if you can move and don't need immediate assistance, consider the amount of "periodic" (daily, weekly or bi-weekly) transporting of (otherwise healthy, but not enough to be self-sufficient) patients that cannot drive or walk for long distances, like - as an example - people under dialysis or chemioterapy.

Right now (at least here in Italy) usually the service is assured by volunteers that drive an ordinary car supplied by the (public or private) assistance, in most (not all) cases the patient can get into the car (and get out of it) without any assistance, and the time the volunteers provide could well be used for a number of other (needed) chores in assistance.
Very good question and a very good answers in this article!

I'll add one more reason not explored by the authors: antibodies don't "leak" in the environment, in contrast to the antibiotics which are everywhere.

For example, if I'm vaccinated against S. pneumoniae (one of the bacteria that can cause pneumonia), the bacteria have to get inside my body to gain exposure to my vaccine-induced antibodies. This makes the emergence of resistance very unlikely because :

(1) the number of bacteria that are exposed to the antibody is relatively small, because the antibody response is pretty fast and happens before the bacteria had a chance to multiply to significant numbers;
(2) any bacteria clones who evolve resistance to the antibody remain susceptible to the myriad of other immunes peptides, to macrophages, and so on. In other words, as long as I survive my pneumonia, no resistance can ever emerge, because I will kill all the resistant clones through other means.

Contrast this to antibiotics. I have pneumonia, I take antibiotics, I'm cured. However, I excrete those antibiotics in urine and stool. Outside of my body, enormous numbers of bacteria are exposed to minute doses of antibiotics. The number of surviving clones is likely to be very high, and those survivors do not face any supplemental threat. Thus, resistance to that antibiotic can be transmitted to later generations.
Whoever setting a cryptominer like that doesn't have to pay dedicated hardware or the electric bill, and as you know nothing can beat gratis-free.
Being stuck in traffic is a problem with cars, we can't build our way out of that problem, more roads just generate more traffic as longer commutes become viable.

I suspect self driving cars will make this worse not better, if a 60 minute commute is OK with you then perhaps 90 minutes is if you can read a book on the way.
It sucks even more when, as in my case, their app stopped working on my Sony Android TV a year ago and just won't start again (even after resetting everything). My only option now is to use the browser version in a small Linux PC I have attached to my TV, but the resolution was noticeably worse - will try this extension though.
I keep thinking about your situation. This is something that I really care about. In the long term I hope to shape society to deal better with these scenarios; in the short term, I'm living in a flatshare working on my startup for less than minimum wage, so capacity to do anything tangible is frustratingly limited.

I've got a couple of dear friends in similar situations to yours. So far they're making do, because they've gotten lucky and found sheds in the back yards of sympathetic friends that they could live in long-term (or equivalent scenarios). Absence that kind of informal safety-net, their situations would be significantly more dire.

I'm in the UK with long-term health issues that the NHS has been a godsend for -- but my visa status is uncertain, and being bounced back to America is always a risk. Health would be a major concern should that happen, and income concerns would follow shortly thereafter. My last-ditch backup plan, in that case, is to go mostly off-grid and move back to Arcosanti (www.arcosanti.org), where I (partially) grew up. The cost-of-living there would be wildly reduced, making financial survival possible unless my mobility/pain became 100% untenable. Maybe something like that would be viable for you?
I doubt the majority of users even realize that. But since this is streamed media, does it really matter if it's 720p or 1080p in the end? I see artifacts in both versions.

This is pretty cool. Much simpler than what I did to get 1080p working some time ago. I pulled out the widevine so directly from a CrOS image, replaced the one I had installed and spoofed my User-Agent.
