Define screwed.

I’m not sure what I think about the “climate change” issue, but I maintain a reserve of skepticism towards proclamations of apocalyptic doom.

A) Humans, and all living things, are screwed from the get go. A guaranteed calamity awaits us all.

I think contributes to a lack of perspective that is not helpful, and possibley harmful. On a number of levels, personal and political.

B) The fact that climate change gets far more discussion and attention than the ongoing calamity of US military conduct is telling. It tells me that climate change, which is complex, and only ameliorated by levels of global cooperation never seen before, serves as a “boogie man” for the “politically aware.”

Organizing against the conduct of corporate war, as it operates globally, presents far more “low hanging fruit” for positive outcomes, at doable price levels.

Yet, there are no serious (meaning electable) politicians in the US who have an opposition to the crazy influence of corporate money. The military spending (and its corruption) is protected from scrutiny by seemingly insurmountable social structures.

Yet, achieving meaningful reductions in military activities, if not spending, is within the realm of imaginable. It is far more doable than the level of global cooperation that is required to reduce carbon emissions. But people who might be inclined to support collective efforts to clean up the corporate-military-political complex are demoralized.

The Republicans apparently pride themselves on taken the worst possible courses of action on challenging problems. They are working to undercut the science of climate change!

Frankly, I see global action on significant greenhouse gas reductions as impossible.

So, somehow, liberal minded folks have found a perfect subject to project their sense of hopeless futility in “global warming”, an almost intractable problem.

In the meantime, there are unexplored opportunities to improve our communities, and world, all around us.

If we, the US, could somehow turn the corner on the lunatic resistance to gun control, and then make some active progress on military misadventures, maybe Americans might think about giving up on meat.
If the patents haven't already expired, they're probably expiring very soon. Windows 95 which was the first to have the LFN feature came out more than 20 years ago.
Thank you! So I'm using a cable modem with a dynamic IP. All someone needs are access to the updater program and credentials to impersonate my domain. So certs are fine and all, as long as those little numbers at the name server never change. I'm a just a hobbyist. Just asking questions, don't mean to offend anyone...
Not KDE as the "desktop" but there are a lot of KDE apps that are useful. The thing that sucks is the they are so well integrated into the KDE desktop that even the smallest app has to pull in the entire "k" "backend". (or what some call karbage ;), I feel it's good integration)

A simple kruler application needed 520mb of "k" stuff if you were clean before.
Like with helicopter parenting, I think that by trying to avoid risk in this way you are giving up more than you are gaining - even though in isolation this might seem like the rational choice.

If everyone took your approach we would end up as a sharply segregated society where the public domain becomes the preserve of 'malicious actors' and those without the ability to avoid it. That would be a classic dystopia. These places exist. Seattle should not be one of them. Better to stand your ground in the public domain despite the risks. Your presence will make it a better and safer place for everyone.
I just published a repository that de-obfuscates the archive from OED's Windows CD-ROM version. I don't know anything about the markup language it uses and I don't know anything about JSON either, but I attempt to parse it and convert it to JSON.

Sadly, the archive only contains 300,000 words IIRC.

It's just "OED_unpack_tools.py" on github.

What's your source for this? If there's no statistical correlation between the minimum wage and the unemployment rate (and I thought I had read otherwise) then I suspect the statistics aren't telling the whole story.

Your explanation of what's going on at the micro level contradicts my experience as a business owner who's been signing paychecks for many years. All businesses have inefficiencies, and in general the larger the check, the more scrutiny the expense will receive. Internally this manifests as having higher expectations for a higher paid employee, and prioritizing automation, offshoring, or other business decisions when labor costs get too high. Externally, when we expand our relationship with a client, we fully expect that it will receive more scrutiny from various stakeholders at the company simply because the check getting written to us is bigger, even if we deliver proportionately more value.
I second the recommendation!

They are looking into several forms of scarcity (e.g. time scarcity of busy academics) and how this similarly affects the behaviour, creating a "focus" on the immediate scarcity that distracts from everything else, and prevents seeing the "big picture".

One interesting conclusion being that poverty is a "root" scarcity that begets other forms of scarcity.

Interesting was also the observation that scarcity-behaviour can have desirable outcomes and can be put to use (e.g. using budgeting as a form of artificial scarcity in personal finance).

I think the concept of Machine Learning clashes in many ways with the core values of an engineer. Engineering is about constructing new things, making them correct by design. Machine learning, on the other hand, is throwing data at a problem, waiting for data to be processed, and hoping that the resulting models make sense. While both useful, it requires such a different mindset, that I wonder if engineers would feel satisfied working on such solutions.

No. I mean that abandoning the public domain is a tragedy.
Agreed, as an anime fan (and spent ~4 months in Japan, love candy and love Japanese candy as much), the anglicized "Kony-chee-wa" at the start turned me off more than the concept of the ad. Either use English, or go full anime and do real Japanese with subtitles, ie what anime fans are used to.

Western-accented Japanese is the worst of both worlds.
Yes, if that's the only language you know.
No, if you've equal language in any other hot (high synergy) dynamic languages like Ruby or JS.

As an anecdote, the Java app we've in our company is a bit difficult to change and usually, the default configuration does not give you what you need.
Look, there are a handful of details in the description that, for the right person, clearly and right away indicates that it's a very very specific, even fringe case. Saying that "basically it means..." as if it was a general case is terribly misguided because it's not. There are already a few comments explaining just that. Insisting in a misunderstanding is not very useful.

To start, I think (hope!) the parent didn't suggest that taking children is a good idea. Either human decency should stop that, or at least reading about Australian history... And I assume the grandparent posts were both about Roma people, not Romanians.

Why it's important that the part of population integrates is because countries extend both rights and expectations to people. Groups of a specific culture that settle in an area and refuse to live under local laws are a problem. Because child/teen marriages are a problem. Because forcing children to beg for the families is a problem. Because living in conditions where large groups rely on begging is a problem. Etc.

How can we say some parents are guilty of child abuse while other parents are just not integrating?
I'm one of those weirdos who loves KDE. KDE was the first DE I used back in 2007 when I first installed / had help installing Slackware on my computer by a friend. Once he installed it for me, I tried doing it by myself without his help and succeeded. The only thing I'll never truly care for with KDE is the browser it comes with, it's like another IE type of browser, and it gets confusing cause KDE will open websides in more than just Konqueror but another weird browser-like thing. There's also like two different file managers... I really do hope they kill off the weirdness. But KDE allows me to refine my desktop to feel like either Windows, Mac, Linux or a mixture. I can decide what my panels look like, where they go and how they behave.

It was Gnome 2 that gave me this power. When KDE 3.5 died and KDE 4 came out (around Vista times) it felt so sluggish and unstable and I ditched KDE for Gnome. Then Gnome became buggy and a lot less customizable. It still is, plugins and all. I really enjoy that KDE never took my freedom to configure my DE however I see fit, without having to install plugins. In that respect I'll always love KDE more. To be completely fair I still find myself using Gnome sometimes, it's not as awful as it once was, but KDE makes more sense to me. I just wish I could map the damn windows key to open the "applications" menu (one of those random things I wish KDE would just let me do), er I mean the "meta" key.
> For men to be considered "real men", telling a compelling story with confidence is more important than bing correct - the scientifically appropriate level of self-doubt and "well this is what we know, here are my sources" is not "manly".

Well, I guess I'm not a real man then. Thanks for your mansplanation!
I used to be surprised when people came across these bugs. I would think: a kernel bug! They must have truly hit an edge case for something like that to skip into production. But then I read Showstopper: The Race to Build Windows NT, specifically the part where that OS shipped with 65,000 known defect (and it was considered one of the most stable software releases of all time), and it became clear to me that these bugs are probably known by the team when the OS ships but just not considered high priority enough to fix. Same with the recent articles about iOS and engineers not getting time to fix P2 bugs. Long story short my entire perspective on kernel bugs (and partly software development) changed and I began to think of them more as known flaws that weren’t fixed because of schedules rather than unknown bugs that were uncovered in the wild.
One thing I didn't like about KDE was that it presents you with a lot of configurability, but it's configurability I never cared about in the first place.

Giving the user every option he/she possibly could want is not necessarily good design. Tbh it seems like a cheap cop-out from making design decisions in the first place. Leaving the user with a lot of noise.
> I grew up during the tail years of communism

I'm a bit confused; is China not still communist?
I don't think the problem is that they cost a fortune. Overall the money spent is probably the same.

The problem is that an unreliable car is far more likely to cause sudden "emergency" events that require a lot of liquid money upfront and if you don't have that money this might cause a chain reaction so you lose your job and then your home.
I didn’t realize that this is only about the full “encyclopedia britanica” version of the OED but Oxford has multiple editions of OED like OED for schools and OED for advanced learners which most students around the world use.

Don't take my word for it, here are the latest numbers from the IPCC http://www.ipcc.ch/ipccreports/tar/wg2/index.php?idp=29

I don't know about you but I see a range, a wide range.

It IS cycles, it's always been cycles historically and the climate is always changing.

The discussion is not whether humans have an effect but how much. Again no certainty even closely resembling evolution.

https://www.wired.com/story/the-dizzying-science-of-climate-...

But you can take the same argument and turn it against the climate alarmist.

First, they said new york would be under water by now.

Then, they said the temperature was rising rapidly (but they had to adjust that claim down quite dramatically)

Then, they said the oceans are getting toxicated.

There is no clear consensus on this. We might or might not effect the climate more or less than we think.

But try and find any official number for how much humans affect the climate and you will be very dissapointed.

Science is not about certainty it's about testing hypothesis. The way climate scientist teste them is by using computer models. That's nowhere close to providing us with the scientific evidence and testability of gravity.

And evolution is a model, the best model we have to explain the evolution of species there is a lot of discussion inside of evolution.

Trying to close down any dissent or argument simply by saying there is nothing to discuss because science, is the most anti scientific thing you can do IMO.

When I was on a similar wage I was saving $12k/month.
I had a large scale issue caused by a bug in the fan control system reading a temp that was deadlocked. This caused cpu performance to tank, since the cpu was thermal throttled.

To make matters worse the environmental sensors reported no issues, because they were all frozen at a single reading as well.

There are a few KDE-only distros.
openSUSE offers many desktops, but KDE is installed by default.

Arguably, that's not a problem, because '{' and '}' aren't HTML special characters, so the function is working exactly as intended.

Netrunner uses it as a default. Also openSUSE and Slackware seems to showcase it as a default, though in openSUSE you can pick Gnome too, but I don't remember if Slackware lets you pick Gnome (I'm sure there's some way to get it regardless) or what. There's also Kubuntu, which is technically a distro even if it is "just a spin of" Ubuntu.

Also, aside from myself I've seen our system admin at my job using it, and I think at least one or two more coworkers. Also Tyler[0] uses KDE ;)

I found a major bug in a big project (which is a big edge case, but still if it happens...). So one could assume it has serious value to some people.

Sad that there is no discussion here, since I assume that my position is that of lots of people here, so I guess everyone is buring their head in the sand (if this was a non-issue than projects wouldnt ask for CLA/DCO).
Uh, all of these things are happening already, and will continue to happen. The biggest causes of unnecessary misery in this world are political (which of course encompasses the physical environment.)

The questions are what the best course of action would be: for individuals, neighborhoods, states, continents.

We cannot escape the physical environment we live in, and to fantasize that somehow compiling a list of risks could lead to some dramatic action is not illuminating. Taking such talking points out of context is confusing.
Actually I think it is more the case of Dart needing Flutter, as its last hope of getting some kind of relevant adoption outside Googleplex.

Then you will be glad to know that recent versions of KDE (I can vouch for Kubuntu 16.04) have mapped the meta key to applications menu.

Although, I have never felt the need for it. I like using the krunner (it is similar to spotlight on Mac) instead of the application menu.

We are using it for building aggregate tables from raw table. We insert data into raw table. And triggers propagate running Min/Max/Avg for hourly/daily/monthly tables. After couple of months we truncate our raw tables but keep aggregate tables. Duplicates are easily removed based on insert. And we get instantaneous result on our aggregate tables (No hourly batch job)
A not unreasonable hypothesis. Yet the bulk of the destruction is the result of ghastly military actions, aimed at direct destruction of the society. To worry about the contribution of climate change is not pointless. Close to it though.

If you can do more outpatient work, you can reduce the bed count, the cost of having a patient taking up a bed in a hospital is very high, even if they are as close to perfect health as possible and are just waiting to be discharged. This is money that could employ another doctor or buy another piece of health-giving equipment.

The sooner you can kick a patient out of hospital, the sooner they become someone else's problem, coming out of someone else's budget. In a publicly-funded system, the local authority may pay for in-home care visits and the patient's GP may be responsible for post-hospital outcomes.

Stupid PFI deals can mean that the cost-per-bed is ludicrous, and that money that could be going towards patient care is being funnelled to failing companies like Carillion.

In an insurance-funded system, the relationship between costs and fees comes down to negotiation between the hospitals and the insurance companies, rather than from the hospital simply coming up with the fees and the insurance companies paying them. This may mean that the income per-bed-per-night is less than it costs, whilst the income per procedure is higher than it costs. Even if the hospital is still responsible for post-discharge care, they may be able to make more profit out of expensive home visits by low-paid carers than in-ward rounds by higher-paid nurses.

Furthermore, those with "good genes" do not always find success. In competition, preparation and luck far outweighs the gene factor.

Here's my subjective part.

After 5 years, it was fun. 2006. And things were blooming everywhere. I barely knew what things _not_ to read or try.

After 10 years, I began to grasp that tech itself, its mastery, is the worst predictor for a project/company/thing's success/adoption. It's important, but the essence of "it sells" is somewhere else than in "it works, it makes sense and it's beautiful".

After 15 years. I'm full of doubts.

I skimmed enough in the IT world to see different communities/companies that work/think so differently and apart that "the IT world" is fragmented (broken?) to the extent that someone who's a productive expert in their field in some group, will not understand, and not be capable of working in some other group.
Although they use the same technology, speak the same language, could work in the same country, for the same customers, but they organize and plan differently, think differently and optimize for different outcomes.

Now for the tech part: it's like when you begin to be more fluent in languages: the more you learn, practice, experiment, play, discuss about, the more you grasp the history, the wider your wold view grows, of how things were, how they are, where they could/should go.
Tech as language is a tool. It's the people you do things with that matter in the end.

As, you'll realize, it is as in any other field (from pastries to warfare).
