Since you're already using LLVM, I'm wondering if you've thought about adding something similar to the includec function in Terra [1] which uses Clang to parse C headers. I used to think that Lisp's CFFI was the best FFI out there until I saw that it was possible to literally parse a C header file and have it "just work". It seems like if you're already building against LLVM, so bundling Clang with your project too might not be that big of a jump for you.

He was given a notification by System76 back in January that we were busy with moving into the new warehouse, hardware testing, and developing our 18.04 release. Getting our firmware to work with his tool is not a high priority.
Also, Apple and Microsoft are not an “OS”. This is a poorly written article unfortunately.
Even if not another company, people develop actions for Google Assistant so I don't think it's that wild to think that 3rd party Duplex behaviors could be something Google is considering.
Sometimes suboptimal is a lot less frightening and destructive than optimal.

Dictatorships and despotism are the optimal solution for wielding of executive power.

Murder is the optimal means through which to immediately resolve problems created by other people from a time investment point of view.

Rape is an optimal solution to spreading genetic material.

See the pattern? Knee-jerk reactions from the layperson AREN'T necessarily bad. If anything, they should be the first sign that a researcher needs to back up from that awesome thing you just did, and take off the razor thin beam of relevance you used to achieve your breakthrough, and begin the HARD part of research. Turning it from an interesting academic factoid into a societal good.

When we do research, we are free to ignore huge swathes of the world to be able to reach or findings. The reckoning, however, comes when we have to ask ourselves 'how prepared is the world for this?'

The story of Doctor Frankenstein isn't just some scary story for children. It should be haunting a researcher night and day. What am I enabling? How will society take this? It shouldn't stop you by all means, but it will keep you grounded and aware of the fact your research isn't happening in a void.

Remember, all those bits and pieces you are putting out of your mind are the bread and butter of every layperson's day. Being a researcher doesn't absolve you of your status as a member of society.

It is YOUR responsibility to take your idea from the theoretical to the practical. The rest of society is busy staying intact enough to support your research efforts.
I used O365 and Skype for Business at my previous job, and we regularly fell back on consumer Skype with some of our remote developers (not that remote mind you, within Europe). Teams seemed to work better but was still very bare at the time.

Then we got new C-level executives from Cisco, and the first thing they did was to initiate a migration to Cisco solutions. Their offering is super confusing to end users like me (WebEx, Spark, Jabber, ?) but it works reliably, in my experience.
He is naive, but seems to be self aware. He does realize he is not street smart, but being naive implies he is unaware of this. Prince Myshkin doesn't want to change and well realizes the cunning nature of some people around him.

He still isn't a savant, but calling him naive wouldn't be accurate either considering he did have diminished mental and physical faculties.
Firing the head of the Windows division came late in the game. From what I’ve heard, critizing the UX was a great way to ruin your annual performance reviews (and get fired).
Your point about the subjectiveness is well noted, I hadn't much considered it before.

You are correct in that the DUI law covers prescription drugs. I hadn't noticed that until you pointed it out. It's rare though, from what I see, for a DUI case to be about anything other than BAC. I have no actual statistics on that.

I guess in my earlier comment the prescription drug part can be replaced by using a cell phone.
We don't have to guess why Alexander disapproves the one-liner, as, after presenting the more thoughtful version, he writes:

"The original is a gotcha exactly because it doesn’t invite this level of analysis or even seem aware that it’s possible. It’s not saying “calculate the value of these parameters, because I think they work out in a way where this is a pretty strong argument against controlling guns”. It’s saying “gotcha!”."
Margin of error is why the law is .08 and not .09.
Breath-taking! Awesome Job!
Point in time restores to the last daily snapshot and replays logs since that snapshot; this can take quite some time (hours) if your database has a lot of writes, especially if the snapshot was 23 hours ago. The blog post doesn't quite make it clear but I would hope that backtracking is somewhat quicker than this method.
> This is wonderfully ideological. I'm surprised people still believe this stuff.

Since I tend to skew this way, I'd like to see you lay out what some of the ideological assumptions are. Free market views are pretty well backed by economics, and plenty of nations have tried to implement alternative ideas and crashed pretty hard.

> The last 40 years or more should have been enough time to see that humans are not just machine-like self-interested information processors that respond to the market, they do behave altruistically and will co-operate when the purpose is worth it.

This is all true. The other side of that coin that frustrates the Progressive vision is that politicians and other government agents are not just altruistic beings who cooperate, according to public choice theory, they have a significant aspect of being self-interested information processors, to use your terms.

> It's this naive insistence that the market and holders of capital, if left alone, will direct humanity in the right direction...

I'm not sure who is insisting that. I think you have an underlying assumption that the state must provide for the totality of its citizens existence, so you assume that if the government isn't doing this, people must believe that corporations would take over that role.

Free market and small government advocates reject that entirely and believe that social structures can be built from the bottom up. Individualists don't think there needs to be a larger direction for humanity because your individual endeavors have intrinsic value.

Sure. In Haskell you join them, but just not allowing it perhaps better.

Also, you can still nest them in Kotlin, since you can have a nullable type inside generics.
This is not really news. For example in Texas, DWI lawyers run a lucrative racket combating breathalyzer test results using the known flaws in the machine and its application. Blood tests are considered more definitive and harder to defend against.

I do. Actually I got into i3 because of the poor performance of my laptop at work (I do NodeJs/Springboot development btw).
I must run Linux (Ubuntu 18.04 now) in a VM on a Windows 7 host and with Gnome it was too memory hungry and the UI was freezing quite often.

I feel very productive with it and I use the mouse way less than I used to.
I liked it so much that at home I also do development on Arch Linux (also in a VM) and also use i3. My i3 config is in private git repo. Nothing fancy like I see on reddit.com/r/unixporn with i3 gaps. I basically copied almost all the config from https://github.com/jessfraz/dotfiles

> The time window to have children is pretty small (life is short)

You've got roughly from your mid 20s to your late 40s to have kids 'responsibly', is that really a small window? Or are you perhaps (incorrectly imho) simply feeling that you've missed out on parenthood even though you're still fully capable of being a great parent?

Our youngest of 3 is 19 months old, and we're in our early to late 40s (i'm not saying which of us is which), and yes - certain things were harder this time vs 10 years ago (100% sleep related things).

On the other hand, there are a ton of things that were way easier this time around - we're both more patient, have more realistic expectations of each other, and we've found a much greater capacity to enjoy her 'baby-ness'.

And finally, don't under any circumstances rule out adoption. I cried more at the final adoption hearing than I did at the births of either of the first two. It's a slightly different bond, but by God it's no less strong...
Good grief. Direct connect audio calls were invented over a century ago. It was called the "telephone"

Independence, being in great physical shape, and sharing as many meals as possible with friends. Having interesting friends outside of tech. Enough money to never worry about money, which varies widely from person to person. Never, ever worrying about hierarchies of any sort.

Why is it a racket?
That is one reason why poor arguments are common.

If an argument loses its persuasive power when its limitations and tacit assumptions are spelled out, then it wasn't that good an argument to start with.
"The market has said that you're currently worth/getting paid X"

Has it? Seriously, who is this all powerful "market" that one can go ask and get an exact answer? What does "market" have to say about employers simply giving anemic raises, if they give any at all, to employees they believe will have trouble finding new employment?

Someone's current wage is not correlated with the market wages for their current position.
Always go newest to oldest, lest you find that the older ones that you're spending time on are no longer relevant and your time has been further wasted.
Ideally (and hopefully this will be doable, as I don't see any impediments), you can have Bitcoin-wallet-style seed generation that you can back up onto a piece of paper and store it somewhere safe.

I really hope my Ledger Nano S becomes WebAuthN-compatible, as it can already be used as a U2F key.
This is discussed in great detail by Cal Newport:

There was nothing of the sort in the demo. Just straight to "Hi, I want to book an appointment for, um, 10am". The "um" matters because it's implicitly telling you that you're not talking to a computer. (Explicitly saying "Hello, I am not a computer" would be a dead giveaway.)
Haha, you and I must have drastically different intuitions. My intuition will cause me to see a "5% battery warning", think to myself "OK, I have a few minutes I will finish this line of code and then plug it in" and then proceed to code for 10 minutes until my laptop dies or I see the 1% warning and remember that I need to find a charger. This happens multiple times a week.

Totally agree on using short breaks for exercise or walks though. I usually continue thinking about work on them, but the change of environment can be helpful if in a rut.
> 'Do this or else we will sick our gun carrying members on you' even if they do nothing at all is a more powerful signal than 'Do this or a bunch of people will show up to protest'.

That threat is entirely without teeth for two reasons:

One: Disorganized militias fail against a well-regulated military force. Especially since this militia would be a minority group, composed of the subset of gun owners who are outright crazy/stupid enough to go up against their own government.

Two: It would destroy the NRA in the public sphere. They'd go from being a normal political group to truly being Yall-Qaeda, the armed paramilitary force of reactionary idiots no normal person can support. The NRA can put on a normal face right now, and get practically everything it wants through politics, but if it tries to force the issue through armed insurrection, it gets crushed like an insect. A small insect.
Where the money came from is irrelevant. And wasting energy and computer equipment to create play money for idiots who want to ignore why decades of banking regulation have been implemented is way more "rude and tasteless" than mean words on the Internet. The fact that a small amount of money being shuffled around went to a good cause is nice but doesn't offset the truly exquisite amount of waste the entire crypto ecosystem generates.
> You should be rewarded since your productivity on assigned tasks will theoretically be significantly higher than your coworkers who are prioritizing e-mail and being constantly interrupted.

Sure, but lots of things _should_ be that are not. The reality is that the appearance of productivity (for example, habitually timely replies to emails) will impact your promotion/compensation more than your actual worth in many, many organizations.
Who decides the protocol/schema updates? Does each seller have their own schema? Are the loyalty tokens trade-able?
> Roughly 80% of Chinese people are happy with the direction the country is going vs 40% in the USA.

An obviously fraudulent setup. There are very few things you can get 80% of people to agree on unless they feel compelled to agreement. The Chinese people no longer possess the ability to dissent. What little ability they had to do so, briefly, has been wiped out in the last five years under the new dictatorship.

Your China reference is as legitimate as Putin's approval rating.
Do you find major differences in raising for software products vs straight to consumer retail products?
Ok Oracle has had this feature for at least a decade, it’s called a “flashback query”. Obviously Aurora costs 10% of Oracle, but still, I thought this was going to be a huge feature-add considering the HN comment count.

That being said, I love AWS, am Pro-Certified, and work with it everyday.

I know Oracle is a giant mean bully company, but at least their arrogance was never of the “world-destabilizing” kind like Facebook.

EDIT: changed rollback query to flashback query (flashback query can be used both to view or to actually change the DB)

Can anyone provide a sense of scale and impact if these results were to hold and if the majority of the world beef production were to switch to it?

Yes. According to the numbers of Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, this would be about a 6.4% reduction in total green house gas emissions. See below for the numbers

> Total emissions from global livestock: 7.1 Gigatonnes of Co2-equiv per year, representing __14.5 percent of all anthropogenic GHG emissions__. This figure is in line FAO’s previous assessment, Livestock’s Long Shadow, published in 2006, although it is based on a much more detailed analysis and improved data sets. The two figures cannot be accurately compared, as reference periods and sources differ.

> About __44 percent of livestock emissions are in the form of methane__ (CH4). The remaining part is almost equally shared between Nitrous Dioxide (N2O, 29 percent) and Carbon Dioxide (CO2, 27 percent).

what's the story behind that? (i'm not familiar with that domain.)
Eh, that I can't agree with. Bolts and nuts work pretty well on the holes of Technic parts (e.g. http://www.roboscience.co.za/how_to/presentation/index.htm). Plus the LEGO pieces "grab" pretty well, so if you build tightly around the other part, they become well attached. And there's also string, of course.

I remember combining my LEGO builds with other stuff without much difficulty.
Yeah I do a similar thing except with a dry erase marker on the refrigerator. Being able to open a photo of my to-do without going through some stupid app saves a ton of aggravation.

Important to note is that the biggest fish caught in the 50s and 60s seem to all be goliath groupers (also known as jewfish) and are now critically endangered and illegal to keep. I imagine they still catch some on these charter boats, but they are required to release them once they do.
Yeah, this is fair. One nit-pick is that the System76 firmware tool is not proprietary at all; the blobs themselves are (just like almost every other consumer product), but the firmware updater is all completely open source. It's just not LVFS.

We hope to make this all a moot point with completely open firmware in the future, but that's a long and difficult road we're on.

This isn't just about human rights and treating people fairly, this is about poor efficiency. There are multiple reasons we have the 40-ish hour work week.

https://medium.com/building-asana/work-hard-live-well-ead679...

"Many people believe that weekends and the 40-hour workweek are some sort of great compromise between capitalism and hedonism, but that’s not historically accurate. They are actually the carefully considered outcome of profit-maximizing research by Henry Ford in the early part of the 20th century. He discovered that you could actually get more output out of people by having them work fewer days and fewer hours."

http://www.bcmj.org/article/impact-sleep-deprivation-residen...

"In US hospitals, 50000 to 100000 patients die annually from medical errors, and inadequate sleep among physicians may be a factor."

I'm sure there's more data from WWII and later sleep studies as well, yet everyone continues to ignore it.
Ah, I remember using this service a lot in the pre-smart phone days.
It was introduced a bit earlier than 16.04LTS, but the desktop support really came a bit later than that LTS release (around the time of the point release).

I have been using it since then, but then again I am one of the developers of snapcraft.

Regardless of my affiliation I really appreciate having a base system that is relatively static and have my apps just roll, and if you don't want to roll too far, you can stick to a major release if the publisher of the snap provides a channel with a track you can subscribe to (instead of following the default track, `latest`). If things go ad, you can always revert, which is a big plus from my perspective as it is clean and per snap.
It's pretty easy to cherry-pick areas of business which are pretty much a big mess and a boondoggle as well. Especially large businesses. Bureaucracy is inevitable with size. United States high speed is actually dominated by businesses that very accurately could be described as "big messes" and "boondoggles" (check the consumer ratings of big cable companies for instance).

From what I see with these corporations, they are quite happy creating "regulations" of their own that benefit them and do not benefit their competitors. So I'm not getting this reaction, personally, which seems reflexively anti-government because bureaucracy. In a regulatory vacuum, eventually, someone's eventually going to step in with their own "regulations". And these rules will most likely benefit themselves... not the public.

I'm mainly okay with net neutrality because high speed broadband is a quasi monopoly in the United States. If this changes (which includes eliminating any regulations that stifle competition among US high speed Internet), net neutrality is probably not necessary.
You really can't think of a better possible outcome of technology that enables humans and computers to interact in a way that's more natural for the humans?

"Devuan and Mint do a decent job shipping gnome 2 style environments by default."

I've been very, very impressed with the MATE desktop. It's actually GNOME 2, carefully upgraded to GTK 3, then with a sensible set of improvements. It's available on most distributions, but the lead developer is also the lead for Ubuntu MATE.

It can't really wait that long, because the under 40s will be over 40 pretty soon, and then there will be a whole brand new set of young people that have never known politics.

People act like "under 40" is some kind of static group. It's not, it's a totally different set of people every 20 years.

i think you may have made it too popular. timing out now.
What is universal, evidently, is confirmation bias. From the linked page, "the quotation is spurious."

I clicked on the link expecting the Socrates quote and was not disappointed. But, if you read the page through to the end, it seems that this quote was made up in by William L. Patty and Louise S. Johnson and published in "Personality and Adjustment, p. 277" in 1953. It was popularized in the 1960's to trivialize complaints by the older generation against the hippies. I have believed for a long time that this was a true quote from ancient Greece and it has shaped my world view. I have used this quote in many conversations and I still am hoping the quote is authentically from ancient Greece. I'll have to poke around the internet some to convince myself one way or another.
Can you link to any docs about it? All I can find is the ROLLBACK statement in a transaction.
In practice this will not work - assuming you only have a single email address for 'mom', it then will prompt you to unlock your phone, then show a confirmation screen with a send button on it.

There are way too many interaction steps required by the device owner to make this specific one a feasible attack.
yeah and they had nothing to eat at all some years if the harvest was bad, and no medical care and most people died in their 30s. So, which scenario do you prefer?
