My dad used to name computers after characters from Greek mythology. I took the idea and name my computers and devices after Norse mythology.

You get some cool names, but there is a fairly critical downside in that a lot of people struggle with spelling the names. Most people probably can't spell Odysseus correctly on the first attempt, and it's even harder to spell Jormungandr correctly.

I think that cutesy names like this are fine for personal use, but for commercial use you're better of using a more standardised schema for naming.

Another place where companies seem to love cutesy names is meeting rooms. Maybe it's because management wants to sound interesting, or maybe they just like painting bike sheds, but often they like to give non-standard names to meeting rooms, like names of native birds or something else that doesn't describe the room at all. It just makes it hard to remember which room is which. How am I meant to know which room is the Tui room, and which is the Moa room?

Either name them by location (e.g. Second Floor, NW), or by distinguishing feature, at one job we had a meeting room with no windows, so we called it the bunker.
Yeah, Facebook definitely needs subreddits so I can unsub from /f/politics instead of my aunt. Unfortunately there's probably no money in it.
People use Docker because it's easy to use and easy to get support, and it's easy to hire people who have experience with it.

Similarly, you could roll your own Dropbox solution with rsync, but good luck teaching your Mom how to do that when she calls you on the phone and she just wants to know how to sync her photos.

By the way, it's pretty difficult to write a binary package system that is reliable, distributed, easy to use, easy to troubleshoot, well supported, and easy to sell to both the engineers and the execs at a company. Docker has done that. It's not a small thing.
I'm not sure the concept of the News Feed is the problem. I think it's in the execution. Currently, it's a big algorithm that's thick and opaque to the user.

A full page grid of posts doesn't solve the problem, if anything it makes it worse. You'd lose visual hierarchy and no grouping, making posts that are mostly red or bright get more eyeball time than the rest.

I think a more natural control over your own News Feed without going through a screen of dials and buttons could be the way to do it. Simple filters at the top, similar to what the Gmail inbox introduced. Funny/Sad/Deep/etc. based on the content and the response from other people (like/angry/sad/etc.) And like Gmail inbox filter, use it or ignore the filtering. You still need some smarts to nuke down the every-day spammers. And sometimes chronology isn't the best order, but it's not too hard to work out when a big-deal occurs; e.g. someone posted 12 pictures of their wedding ceremony, 5 hours ago, and their feed blew up, making it more important than someone's best ramen noodles they've ever had 15 mins ago.
As mainly a Windows developer, with UNIX experience going back all the way to Xenix I can enumerate similar complaints about developing on UNIX.

Expensive SDKs? You should have seen UNIX compiler prices before GNU and BSD actually mattered.

Don't try to use non-UNIX OS as if they are UNIX and the experience will be much better.

> I never understood why anyone young would start smoking.

Because nicotine feels good. It's really not that complicated.
I want to point out that I'm by no means an expert -- the real experts are the people in the talks that I mentioned, the core contributors to the libraries.

I think a good place to start is those talks (and stuff from any container-centric conferences), along with lots and lots of practice using containers.

In general, I'm pretty sure if you read up on chrooting, processes on linux, process isolation on linux, LXC, then the relevant standards/tools that underly docker like runc (https://github.com/opencontainers/runc), you'll have a pretty deep understanding.

Also, for day-to-day use, I honestly think you can do just light research on the above topics and start using docker and know way more than the average developer. As you use it more and more, you'll gain more intuition, and when you bump up against certain issues, you'll probably gain some intuition as to where things are going wrong (though honestly the toolchains are pretty stable now).

The goal of a lot of these projects is to be so stable you don't have to worry about it, so I don't feel too guilty about it, in the same way I don't feel too guilty about not ever having cache-line-optimized a program in my life.
Different metals are in use, at different temperatures, and inhalation rather than ingestion.

Vape coils are typically kanthal, the same material as in my ceramic kiln wires, and were not designed for food/smoking purpose before people started using them for that.
> Seen as tinkering, that work and video is good work; seen as research, it is atrocious because of the complete lack of scholarship. The guy didn't even know he was reinventing the wheel, and didn't care to look it up.

I think its important to note that that he does reference NEAT (and the paper it comes from) and the emulator he used. This is building on what others have already done. While the 2009 paper from the post author would definitely be worth note, I feel "atrocious" is a bit harsh.
You overestimate the cost of speculative gambles, but let me ask a the opposite: if the regulation costs you your job and an economic recession who is going to compensate you for it? Because as far as i know the government has never given a check to compensate for its mistakes.

Imho, there's nothing wrong with throwing a number on the end to denote our 3rd webserver. And obviously, the name is only its primary function. If a sever wears 2 hats, maybe the secondary function isn't in the name. That's still more infromative than "the git repo is on huitzilipotchtli".
And even if they try, because there is economic incentive (educated population -> better competition on the global market), people will still accuse them of pushing propaganda and brainwashing, and they'll fight the changes.

Don’t half of smokers die of heart disease, not lung disease? Vaping has no effect on that - it might be even delivering more nicotine and jolting the heart more than a normal cigarette. Not sure how much heart damage comes from the stimulant decreasing blood oxygen and how much is from lung damage decreasing blood oxygen, and so forth, but it seems likely vaping is bad for your heart.
But this is optics/pr;

let's remember that 2018 dropped the max corporate tax rate 14% to 21%. So, Tariffs add 25% friction on your steel usage or 10% on your aluminum, or x% on your chinese imports - but your value add is taxed at 14% less.

It's really a shame the tariffs and the corporate tax rate weren't packaged together to be closer to revenue neutral.
In freedom, liquidity is plentiful. Every company is public if every employee is allowed to sell their stock in the open market. It is precisely regulation that creates private markets. Do without and you will cheaply have an infinite

Religion... or economics. Marriages traditionally were more about economics (and in case of powerful families, politics) than emotions. The concept of marriage being almost entirely a consideration of the people getting married seems relatively modern and western.
Desktop software development, graphical debugging tools.

The only UNIX based that tops it is macOS.
That is basically how it went for me. I tried vaping, liked it, and substituted it for cigarettes. I liked the effect but found it easier to forget about. Eventually I bought some juice I didn’t enjoy, and simply stopped using it.
the x86/x64 applications in the hypervisor would be super slow, as the x86 ones are with Windows 10 for ARM (Windows 10 for Arm doesn't support x64 emulation)
To be fair, it was normal at that point in history at many parts of the world to have multiple wives (or one wife + multiple concubines).

That and the prophet was actually monogamous for 25 years (until his first wife who was 15 years older than him passed away).
Training on that accidents data would result in a car getting on the break pedal when ever it detects faint old line marketings in your lane. The car needs a good lidar to see if there are obstacles in its 3d representation of the worlf. If that doesn't work the pilot is "off" and only cruise control available.
I think it's useful to give long-lived entities memorable names (literally in the sense of 'possible to remember') to allow people to draw fortuitous connections and keep similar entities distinct from each other during discussions. Even if you're just trying to keep track of which server it is that seems to be faulting.

>because the Linux project isn't dedicated to auditing the Linux project.

Huh? Code Review? Testing? The entire point of open source especially w.r.t security is to have millions of eyes on the source. Heck with the entire world being able to audit and review the source code, people still find bugs that were introduced decades ago.

>It's like calling a home security system pointless if it doesn't detect any forced entries.

I'm afraid that didn't make much sense to me.

Anyway, why are we focusing on irrelevant minutia or language anyway. I simply asked a commentor to show the work they've done for basing their opinion.
The reason for that is that historically a single domain hosted a wide variety of services and users, so there wasn't a single meaningful name to give it, and giving it a memorable name was important for the users who relied on that name.

I don't think there's such a big gap there, either. It's not uncommon for developers to give large, general-purpose applications nondescriptive code names. This actually tends to be useful when trying to distinguish the names that marketing gives a product (which can change) with the names of the applications that back it (which shouldn't).

I mostly use Ctrl-[ for Escape. I have a lot or weird Ctrl bindings. Not an emacs level of Ctrl bindings, but enough that I use this particular rearrangement.
If you haven't used the OpenBSD installer lately, it's about that simple also.
The pink elephant you can't forget is that the feeds on most services are not designed to benefit you, but to benefit the company. So for instance Facebook engaged in substantial research manipulating peoples' emotions by making their feed either more positive or more negative, and seeing how this affected their posting and sharing trends. This one was widely reported (search for 'facebook psychological experiment') and demonized.

I think there are a couple of important takeaways from it. First Facebook wasn't just doing that out of academic curiosity. They're manipulating their users to maximize their benefit. And the more important point is that that behavior is, all but certainly, something most of every company that also relies on advertising is engaging in. Letting you see what you want to see is not their goal, except if that coincidentally coincides with you being more likely to stay on their service and provide more personal information to them.

And we might intuitively expect these two goals to be aligned, but this is improbable. Consider casinos. It's not wins that keep people gambling - almost nobody wins in the longrun in most games. Instead it's a complex system of addiction including near wins, and visual-audio manipulation that keeps people dumping their money in the machines. And so too with Facebook, it's that small rush of interaction, likes, and so on that also keeps people 'playing'.
Founder here - interested in experienced designers in the saas b2b/enterprise space too. Let's chat.
They have one aircraft carrier, we have twenty. Their carrier is 60,000 tons, we have eleven 100,000 ton carriers. We have enough nukes to kill every chinese "communist party" member a dozen times over.

It's GDP is about half the US. And their "communist" system is being run entirely off the back of a mostly free market economy. Free markets always beat communism and socialism.

And if you believe that none of this matters, that China is a real threat, the last thing you want is to impose tariffs on them that hurt us more than they hurt China.

I'm pretty sure you're not allowed to sell a pot made out of unsafe materials and market it as a cooking implement. I'm also quite confident that it's technically possible to make a safe vaping device. So the issue would be a lack of regulation?
I don't use my iPad as my main computer, but I do use it when traveling. The work I do is mainly command line (development---Unix is my IDE), so using SSH is fine (vSSHD for iOS). Cut-n-paste is a bit of a chore though. My biggest complaint is the keyboard, but then again, short of an IBM model M I'm always going to complain about the keyboard.

There are very very few pros using Final Cut Pro X (lots of wedding videographers though). Every single edit house I've been in recently is on Avid or Premiere (usually both) with a FCP7 computer somewhere for legacy projects.

I wish I could agree. Half of the time I spent on my last linux laptop was spent frustratingly trying to get things to work. The screen font was too small for some stuff, too big for others. It didn't wake up from sleep properly. sometimes it didn't GO to sleep properly. It was death by a thousand cuts.
Also corn subsidies vs. obesity-related healthcare; free roads & parking vs. smog controls; loose monetary policy vs. financial bailouts; having everyone prepare their own tax returns (as opposed to the IRS just sending out a bill along with their calculations) vs. spending money prosecuting tax evaders; and CIA-financed terrorists using our own weapons against our military.

When you think about it, most of humanity's problems come from "fixes" put forth by some other branch of humanity. Humans are not particularly logical or inclined to see the big picture; they are very good at feeling a pain point acutely and slapping a band aid over it. Over time, this becomes rather absurd, but in the meantime the complexity lets societies that act like this grow bigger populations and amass bigger armies, and so that's all you see today.

Most historical peoples were quite happy to live as hunter gatherers, except that larger & more miserable societies had a knack for enslaving & eradicating them.
Definitely, there is a lack of meaningful testing and regulation. Also, everything about vaping is too new to know the long term effects on human health.
You know, the article refers to Windows ARM emulation, but I now see the Intel post as a warning to Apple, as patent licensing discussions may have started about that time last year.

It usually takes 4-5 years to design a chip, and if Apple planned on releasing the Mac CPU in 2020, well...

Tesla owner recreates fatal Autopilot crash, nearly crashes as well
Thank you OP for your very insightful blog post. You have been better than any other academic at articulating exactly what happens when I (or one of my colleagues) interact with the academic world and you made me realize that the academic world has a set of values that might be good but which I should not even attempt to incorporate in my own professional life.

I have come to my personal conclusion that there is a difference between 'science' and 'the academic world' in much the same way as there is a difference between 'religion' and 'the church'. One can be very religious without going to the church and doing all the rites that are required by the church. In much the same way, a 'tinkerer' (or 'heathen') can be scientific without being academic. I believe that wiki summarizes it quite well for me: "Science is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe". There is no statement about giving proper credit (vanity) or not being allowed to reinvent the wheel without first making damn sure that you are indeed reinventing.

I want to solve real world problems and the way I want to do that is in a structural and repeatable approach. Science helps me doing this. Of course I'm not living in a vacuum, so I will look up as much as I can about the subject at hand as is reasonable within the available amount of time. Interestingly enough, I almost never end up with a research paper, but almost always with blog posts, books, tutorials et cetera. Products don't sell themselves and neither do research papers apparently. I think there is something seriously wrong if that is not perceived as a crisis in the academic world.
Unsure how that magically makes OS X productive. Stuff is just easier and faster on windows or linux. And I’m tired of OS X randomly crashing or freezing. It’s like windows 98 now.

i remember instagram pre-algorithmic timeline, and it worked well: because everyone knew every post would be seen, there was a cultural norm of not posting more than ~ 1 time a day.

it's not like crazy-amounts-of-posting is some inexorable law; it's a response to the social networks as they now exist.

even for too much content to read, a time-based sample is arguably still superior an algorithmic one, because it's _unbiased_. this gives you (1) an accurate impression of mood and content of your timeline and (2) completely short-circuits problems with soft-censorship and manipulative influence. (fb has done various vaguely-evil experiments w/ controlling the emotional content of your timeline one way or the other.)

lastly, there's an easy fix that gives you best-of-both worlds: simply allow tagging some sets of people as "close friends" (or any other label!) and allow filtering posts by that label.

(and, sure, if you want to, go ahead and include an algorithmic timeline view. or even algorithmic w/ various different criteria for inclusion. the fact that fb/instagram/twitter won't even give you the option of chronological ordering suggests that it's more about maintaining control than about creating a good user experience. /tinfoilhat)
Yeah, at my last place, the deal was: First we have to find 5 - 10 devs who want to switch to linux (there were 50 - 100 in total). Then we get a PXE boot image to install linux and, well, DHCP. We get to try it for a couple of month, while producing documentation on how linux works with the infrastructure.

That feels like a fair solution.
