If I was going to build a private home server, I would choose SmartOS as well. It has all the parts needed and most importantly, virtual networking OOTB via CrossBow. I have not found any feature complete virtual networking in Linux or *BSD. Have to use XEN or VMWare.

With that said, I use Linux for my desktop as it gives the best user experience on a laptop. IMO, FreeBSD and variants still don't cut it at this time for dekstop.
I just wish they would also support patches. Forcing us to fork and merge back just for GitHub is annoying. Especially for quick drive-by type patches and smaller doc changes and just minor fixes.

I git clone'd the project, built it, noticed something small, fix it locally, and then decide OK I'll just send this up real quick. oh crap. NOPE I have to do a bunch of GitHub crap with forking and merging to get it back to the master tree. Annoying.

Forking and merging is perfectly fine for regular contributions, but for smaller one-time type fixes it's just annoying.
Except that no, there isn't an effective halt.

The best that you can argue is that it's been slowed down. However, there is a strong need for 238Pu in RTGs, and the US, Russia (and the Soviet Union before it) and other countries produce 238Pu. Hundreds of millions of dollars are available for RTG development.

(Why? Because the Navy, CIA, NSA, and no doubt others need dense power sources, have used RTGs, including in top-secret surveillance like tapping undersea cables.)

We know that there are no other possibilities than the handful of radioisotopes that might be an RTG. We also know that the production levels needed to put RTGs in every household would be much more expensive than using the same production methods (mostly nuclear reactors) to generate electricity and deliver it directly to the home.

If you continue to blame anti-nuclear activists for something which is not their fault, then people are going to disregard your viewpoints.
As an amaerican from a fairly dangerous city, I have no fear of being shot (I'm way more likely to be hit by a bus, get cancer, etc.).

Regarding healthcare, you'll always get treatment and worst case you declare bankruptcy. Typically though, a hospital will work with you. That use to be my old job, writting off payments that people with concern couldn't pay.
Also, from a view of net economic gain, healthier people are more productive for a longer period of time. So health cost savings may cancel out but the individual's contribution to the economy is higher.
Anyone knows where I could find info about the curriculum?
Interesting, I didn't know key review exclusion was a recent change.

Are you just looking for press kit resources? There's a somewhat dated press kit available from https://github.com/250/Steam-Top-250/releases/download/press... that might contain some useful images. If you're looking for something more specific, let me know!

Charting game ranking history is my personal favourite upcoming feature. I want a graph with the full history of a game's ranking across all rankings, so you can easily see how many segments it's participating in both past and present. However, another limitation of the current infrastructure is we don't have a persistent data store. Every day we create a new, independent database snapshot containing only that day's data. Once again, this feature will take several months to develop, mainly because I have to go back to work now because I didn't receive enough funding via Patreon, but I'm looking forward to it at least as much as you :)
We use Esri for rendering vector tiles and it works well.
Well, I think lisper nailed it in the article: It's not just that the code is represented as data structured in linked-lists, it's that that data exposes the semantic structure of the code in ways that are more pragmatically useful (among other nice properties) than char strings.

When you get into the LISP interpreter itself, which is just a linked-list structure describing how to process linked-list structures (like itself) as code, well... Here's William Byrd on "The Most Beautiful Program Ever Written" (ye LISP interpreter) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyfBQmvr2Hc

The "constructive purpose" of the discussion for a man is to practice talking about difficult subjects. The real world implication of discussing it is suggesting that the potential of women in tech is up for debate.

Just talking about some things is enough to imply unintended conclusions. That's how it works in the real world no matter how hard you want to play Mr. Logic. To believe otherwise is extremely naive and puts you in serious danger, as Damore found out.

Opinions based around differences in human biology have a really bad historical track record. Groups and institutions have built up a natural vomit reflex for when they show up. Many might argue that this is a suppression of the truth but they also have to appreciate that that suppression might be in service of a greater good.
Please stop doing this. We all know anecdata isn’t, so why continue to spread the trope? “It’s not data, but...” Then don’t share it.
I use something like this but I initialize the file with the contents of the clipboard. I use xclip but I think xsel can do the same. Here's a snippet:

Yes--it's free if you have money.

The money buys up all the land. The money buys politicians. The politicians/business raise fees/fines because they can.

You end up in prison, usually over something minor, if you don't have funds. Not really a free society?

(California has 1 place in the desert, I know of, that a person can pitch a tent, and live for free. Actually, the owners of the land just allow the homeless to live there. The people are technically squatting.)
I wonder how this view is reconciled with data points like the EIU's Democracy Index, which rates "civil liberties" in the US below those of many of the EU countries. Is the Democracy Index not considered a reputable report, or does the US tend to define "civil liberties" as something outside of the data points[1] used to build the index? These points seem to focus largely on personal freedoms, free media, and government interference.

The issue of immigration is not just about whether there is enough money, it is also about how willing people are to pay. The states with the best public welfare systems, usually considered to be those in Scandinavia, have historically had very homogenous societies. Often a strong connection is drawn between the homogeneity of a society and the willingness to pay tax ( * ).
Note that by homogeneity we do not only speak about peoples origin and looks, but perhaps more importantly about what values they hold.
If you have a constant large influx of immigrants from diverse cultures, such as the US has had throughout its history, you also have a greater difference of values.

( * )Although I grant that those that argue for this usually lean to the conservative side of the political spectrum, for example David Goodhart: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2004/feb/24/race.eu)
Also, I would think just 1 semester Calc and Physics would be beneficial to add more applicable subject would be a fine compromise. 3 of each seems really excessive. That cirriculum was created when computers weren't overly complicated. I know that had it back in the 90s. There's just been too many important innovations in computing that are ignored because of Calc and Physics IMO.
I don't think there are any plans to but facebook has so many engineering resources that they may just add it one day.

For now it's just Flexbox and I think that covers most developers' needs.

People below are rattling off lists of alternatives, PayPal (fees), Venmo (requires another account setup), Google Wallet, Apple Pay, and so forth.

I'd hate to be that guy, but the cryptocurrency blockchain technologies have some potential for something none of these other technologies have, which is elimination of vendor lock-in. It's annoying to have such a variety of places where I have username and passwords to apps which store my account credentials. I forgot LevelUp which I use for (it turns out) just ONE coffeeshop. I have accounts on all the others (linked to my bank account) minus Venmo because I guess I decided, enough is enough.

The account proliferation due to inefficient competition and lock-in of vendors is absurd. So in comes Zelle, perfectly positioned to solve that problem, but for 'friends and family' only? My tenant pays me through it, and I don't think we're related.

Banks are slow, conservative dinosaurs allowed to constantly play CYA with consumers.
We use it at Netflix for our Open Connect CDN.

In general, the FreeBSD performance is far better for our workload (we have served up to 100Gb/s from a single-socket CDN node). In fact, I'm sitting here reading HN while watching a single-socket E5-2697A machine ramp up past 92Gb/s for a 100% TLS workload.
> AARP is the biggest lobbying entity in the USA. And it’ll only get bigger with baby boomers joining the club.

The youngest Boomer has been past the AARP full membership age for more than 20 years; newly eligible AARPers are in the younger half (nearly the youngest third) of GenX. Plus, AARP offers full membership for free for a spouse without age qualification, and associate memberships for under 50s. Which is to say, there's not a lot of reason to expect that Boomers interested in “joining the club” haven't all done so a long time ago, and are now exiting by death more than entering, while new members are coming from the relative baby bust of GenX.
What do you and your friends want so much that, if someone else built it, you'd start using it immediately?
What is also quite interesting is that this (at least partially) came to light because of the NSA breach. Couple of months ago we had Trump blabing his mouth about the Dutch hacking the Russians. I wonder how much all this loosing of secrets affects the standing of the US in the intelligence community.
> is this even decentralized?

not in the least
It also runs your network connection and firewall in their own VMs, plus makes it easy to stack more. e.g. you want to connect to a VPN and then to Tor? No problem.

At the same time you can run your password manager in a VM with no network access.
Free in the US mostly means "without other people's help". It's an old relic from the original religious minorities that founded the place carried over to today (the "rugged individualism" etc). Maybe if the Quakers have won those cultural wars things would have been different...

So you can be enslaved to 2000 things, debt, bosses, ugly laws, big corps, banks, health costs, etc., and just lie there and take it, but you are doing it on your own, as a "free" man.
I think that's why they call it "friends and family"; to keep the expectations reasonable.

It doesn't matter how productive they are if the savings are being equally cancelled out: the health cost issue is then zero-sum, but that means any productivity that wouldn't have occured without preventative care is a positive gain. And even without economic benefit one way or the other, I figure most people wouldn't mind having a healthier mom around a little longer. You cant narrowly focus on only economic benefits, and then narrowly only on the most obvious and easiest to calculate, and expect to arrive at anything like a coherent and inteligent point of view.
Do they plan on unifying them into one framework, or are the platforms different enough that they've given up on having one framework to do everything?
You're talking about the definition of socialism as accepted by people familiar with socialism versus the definition of socialism by people who consider it "Stalinism lite" because they have only ever encountered it as a pejorative to that effect.

Whether or not they're technically accurate is irrelevant - it's still what many Americans believe. Reasonable people can disagree with it but it's simply untrue that "literally no one" agrees with it.

He is not referring to the firmware as "kernel" ... See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KERNAL :

extended but strongly related versions used in its
successors: the VIC-20, Commodore 64, Plus/4, C16,

> But that's not freedom, that's socialism.

You are confusing "freedom" with "anarchy", because freedoms tend to interfere with each other. I think we can agree that I do not lead a free life if I am in constant fear for my safety. So we create laws to restrict the freedom of the strong and police departments to enforce those laws. And you do not get a choice in the matter, not just not to adhere to those laws, but also to be protected by those laws.

And you might even be called on to participate, against your will (jury duty, the draft).

All this is not just compatible with "freedom", not in opposition to it, but arguably required for actual freedom. Actual freedom is not the same as "nobody can tell me what I can or cannot do [stomps feet]", and a bit more complicated.

Now liberal democracies differ on exactly where they draw the line, but I think the evidence is pretty strong that things like (a) worker's rights (b) universal healthcare (however delivered) and (c) at least sort-of free education enhance overall freedom. Whereas for example the right to bear arms, while sounding nice from the [stomp your feet] POV, is actually detrimental.
People typically don't buy luxury bags with the hope of selling them for a profit, though.
I hate to nag you. But whats the status of TLS sendfile? That feature is a great example of what FreeBSD can do, unfortunately it's still closed source.
this is amazing! native script is just superior to react native in so many ways, always wanted to try but now that its paired with vue i may just jump head in!

from what i hear, native script is more native than react native, 100% cross platform from ios and android, and much more performant than React Native.

i can see this becoming a real contender very soon.
Hello. I am the creator of alltheplaces and Max is absolutely correct. Alltheplaces is a bunch of scrapers right now because it was the fastest way to get the data, but if you have data in a machine readable format already then I don't have to scrape it. I can just download your data file and distribute it to whomever wants to use it (people interested in importing to OSM, geocoders/search engines, etc.).
There is a bit of a nihilist nature to it too.

Current modern society only achievement is making people live better, longer. There is no scientific, objective reason to do that. It is only the arbitrary (slightly helped by biology) value we put on human life that makes us do that.

You can look at about everything, be it healthcare, government, defence, or even economy and money and the only cold logical conclusion is that it serves no purpose.

Makes me think we better be careful with AI. Overly survivalist AI can kill all humans, the opposite is one that eventually find out that killing all human now is the fastest way to help humanity reach its natural conclusion.
Out of interest, what stack are you using to achieve offline first?

There's a lot of info on the website about the challenges. There aren't many people working on it, so any help would be appreciated.
I don't think many people know how expensive RVs are to drive. It is much cheaper to park for extended periods of time.
Interestingly, the Wikipedia article mentions that (a different?) variation of the gene influences the amount of volatile organic compounds in ear wax. Quite the coincidence!
The short answer is that it is only single operations that become safer.

I don't want to undersell it though: some single operations require multiple steps (i.e. DROP SCHEMA in 5.7 needs to unravel all the tables it discovered and making sure a replica slave produces the same result. 8.0+ does this much cleaner). So it still remains important to have.
Well, transfers are "reversible". There's nothing technical stopping a bank to wire money back.

But, banks are not allowed to mess with your funds. If it's in you account, then it's yours. It would be illegal for a bank to simply reverse a transfer. Crooks are protected by the laws as well.

Even if some obvious mistake was made at a e.g. payment provider and funds were wired to the wrong bank account, your bank has to send you a letter asking for your permission to reverse the mistake. Reading a batch file twice is a nice example: You get two credit entries, but the bank is not allowed to reverse one.

What happens with smaller scams is that crooks withdraw funds as soon as they've been booked. So most of the time the money already is physically lost before a (legal) claim arrives. So there's that.
I was responding to jimmy1's post. In there jimmy1 specifically mentions cost of providing for immigrants.

... story gets changed when all of a sudden your government no longer has the means to take care of everyone.

Since the per capita GDP of the U.S. is not declining so much to immigration then mentioning immigration is not relevant. It's a red herring. I can only guess as to the reason why jimmy1 made such an irrelevant point but I can't prove that my guess is correct. Thus I'll settle for just pointing out that it's a red herring and an argumentative fallacy.

The people at promethease monitor new studies for information on new variants & results of studies.

Check out the overpass <https://overpass-turbo.eu>. You should be able to query for the data you are looking for.
And yet how much may they have indirectly boosted the GDP by being of value to the family and friends around them, subtly adding to the support network that allows others to contribute more directly ti the GDP. And besides, who is insane enough to so narrowly define existential worth solely as a function and GDP contribution? A good healthcare system might greatly help such a person avoid those negative and irrational patterns of thouht.

Yeah in Phoenix/Tempe/Chandler I see them all the time, multiple companies here with Waymo being the most seen and having the actual self-driving ones.

Arizona/Phoenix metro is a great place for self-driving because the relatively flat, square mile based road grid and the fact that we have both lots of college students and older people that live here that need it. Most of the self-driving ones are in and around ASU.

When both college kids and seniors are testing these out, it will also be good for word of mouth, for the older crowd especially which will be a big consumer of self-driving transportation.

Since so much SDC data is being collected in Arizona, it is great for being early as a robust product for Arizona. Colder areas with more complex roads, obstructions and traffic may take much longer.

I do believe he meant socialism as it's been advertised in the western world (see: Bernie Sanders, parts of Europe and Latin America) rather than socialism as "workers owning the means of production" (see: Marxist theory); since the latter has never lasted in a prosperous country/occurred at all (depending on who you ask and in which context).
I live in a small town north of Kansas City, MO that pays for ambulance rides if you can't. Not exactly NHS, but it's been a huge help to people I know.

There are also several free clinics in KC and STL.

In my area, there's two "tiers" of healthcare. Urgent Care for 99% of everything worth getting help for, and emergency rooms for a crisis. Most people I know in this town can't afford primary care physicians. I've never heard anyone talk about going to a free clinic, so I can't speak to their quality.

I use FreeBSD on my FreeNAS in Production. Makes an awesome box to have in a Small business network for all NAS services, backups and also lightweight virtualization for backend scripting and services. I could not recommend FreeBSD via FreeNAS more for these purposes. It just plain works. Almost all configurations can be done via Web GUI and rarely needs touching the root OS via commandline.
