Lois Lane actress Margot Kidder dies aged 69
Lazy. Whenever I see it happen, I tell people I know: not to recycle plastic bags, not to recycle food stained paper products. I tell them, and explain why; no one I've told cares, and they all just keep their old habits.

"How do they expect us to remember this?" is the response I usually get. How do they expect you to remember what to do in a decision you make literally every day of your life? Too difficult!
Apologies, fair point.

If memory serves, they discussed a flywheel for each wheel of the car?
That is really interesting, thanks for explaining it.

I want to ask then, based on other comments, that size can greatly improve the amount stored. So wouldn't a larger safer flywheel work in many places?

Also, my thought on the water as a solid, consider a steel wheel where instead of steel all the way through, put a liquid inside of a cavity. Since water doesn't compress, it would essentially be part of the same wheel, only safer in a collision? (arm-chair engineer)

I enjoy reading comments like yours so I can move on/let go of my from my silly pet ideas. :)
> Of course, a lot is asked of engineers during crunch time, but that's the same way everywhere in the industry

I would like to point out that this is just objectively wrong. There are many employers in our industry that do not impose crunch time, and who view crunch time as indicative of poor engineering practices.

Maybe your statement came out wrong, but I was surprised enough when reading it that I felt compelled to let others know that this is not reality. There are lots of good employers that practice sustainable development practices in our industry.

Reading this thread, I'm having a very hard time understanding why anyone would want to work at Amazon (other then the somewhat high salary). Judging by responses to many of the parent comments, I'd say that others seem surprised as well. I hope this surprise reflects the abnormality of the practices described in this thread because they are not as common in the industry as you suggest.
In the long run, AI will keep getting better and will also climb up the value chain. It shall be an interesting race to watch, assuming you could do so from a third person perspective.
First, let me say that if you're doing a clean/new installation, I'd recommend installing CentOS 7.5 directly (as opposed to, say, installing 7.0 and immediately upgrading to 7.5). 7.0 is almost four years old at this point and your ThinkPad's hardware may be slightly better supported by 7.5.

Anyways, you might consider posting the details (including verbatim error messages, hardware (partitioning) details, etc.) in a new post on the CentOS forums [0] or inquire about the error message on the CentOS IRC channel [1].

Alternatively, if you continue to run into issues with the installation, feel free to reach out to me if you'd like. I'm not associated with either Red Hat or CentOS but I do run a lot of RHEL/CentOS machines (mostly on servers but I do happen to have a ThinkPad running RHEL 7.5 sitting here by me) and I'd be happy to help troubleshoot the issue with you, if necessary.

> This is not how the things work.

Of course that’s how things work! You really think that having a kid is a guarantee that kid’ll take care of you as you die?

I watched my parents care for their dying parents and that’s just not something I’m interested in. I live 2000 miles away and told them to sort their own plans out when the time comes.
I disagree. If you read the literature you will find cannabis smoke, physically, is stunningly non-harmful and not associated with much more than perhaps a slightly higher chance of respiratory infection.

Whereas tobacco is ridiculously deleterious and causes oxidative damage directly iirc.

I used to think it was all about smoke inhalation but it’s not that simple.

That being said, obviously I agree that we need to study the effects of cannabis as much as possible.
But why did it take you three visits to get contacts?

It's also interesting that hard (RGP) contacts, which last essentially forever, are now virtually impossible to buy from high-street opticians.

I'd certainly agree with you in general but ThinkPads are pretty popular at Red Hat (and at their biggest customer) and, as a result, they are probably better supported than other any model of laptops.

I've been running RHEL on a ThinkPad T420 for years without any major issues. It Just Works(tm).
That configuration is already possible in Windows with the “DelayedAckFrequency” parameter and in Linux with the “quickACK” setting, but it’s unrelated to congestion control, and it will neither “solve” bottlenecks nor “turn TCP into UDP.”

Congestion control (the purpose of BBR) deals with the bottleneck problem. Delayed ACKs are an optimization to reduce protocol overhead. Indeed there are problems with delayed ACKs when combined with Nagle’s algorithm and an application that doesn’t send a steady stream of data, but it has nothing to do with the topic of this thread.
Definitely. Heating water with an electric element isn't all that efficient at all compared to say a gas water heater.
Ya, I was thinking that the water wouldn't be sloshing around, only being inside a sectioned donut wheel. The water could be hermetically sealed (with some kind of preasure relief for temp changes) in chambers, no sloshing or friction issues. Externally it would look exactly like any other fly wheel.

The thought being that since it's a safe medium to explode out, you could spin it faster than other mediums. The steel would just be a shell to hold the water, and therefore the containment vessel wouldn't have to be as robust, as the amount of steel that would fail would not be as much, and as soon as the water exploded out , the remaining steel would dramatically loose kinetic energy and possibly not even flyout.

Another comment said that 20k rpm would hold 4x the energy as 10k rpms. That implies that if you truly aren't afraid of the spinning medium hurting anyone, it would seem that water/steel hybrid would be better than solid steel, because you could spin it faster more safely.
IIRC, their hunting method consists of having saliva that is so infested with pathological bacteria that they simply bit their prey and wait for it to succumb to fevers.

Somehow, I doubt eating their meat is a healthy thing to do, even when cooked.

EDIT: turns out that the BBC documentary I got that from has outdated information:

Inside Google, a Debate Rages: Should It Sell AI to the Military?
I suppose you're right, but that wasn't the intent. I took the line off thinking off the logical cliff.

However, in the US it is common for major inter/national firms to service entire state prison systems. This is surely a representation of the prison industrial complex, and that's what I was getting at.

Simply having publicly run prisons does not preclude this type of situation, a major firm holding large contracts and thus having an incentive to grow the criminal population, unless it would be wholly socially and politically unacceptable to do so.
My personal experience would disagree, and I feel that
is throwing caution to the wind.

As any software person knows, you really can't tell what's going to happen to the code/scripts you put out, not committing it to source control is a dangerous game to play.

If you have a simple shell script sitting on a server doing some basic task, why would you not have it under source control where it can be viewed by future teams and seeing what changes have been made to it over time? Seemingly simple problems can be caused by minor changes which are very visible if its under source control.

Just because its simple doesn't make it any less important. Complexity is not a good measure of its importance.

> I should have as many babies as I physically can

Consider quantity vs. quality, though. Quoting Lenin, "We must follow the rule: Better fewer, but better. We must follow the rule: Better get good human material in two or even three years than work in haste without hope of getting any at all." 'None' would be the best choice here: you could, instead, adopt a child and by doing so save a life and contribute to keeping the human population within reasonable bounds at the same time!
That's a hell of a nitpick, but ok, we've taken 'illegally' out above.
That's fair.

My opinion is the prequels are bad for technical reasons. I think they're just badly written and acted, the plot is incoherent and contrived, the dialogue is terrible, Anakin and Padme's romance is awkward and his fall to the dark side is unconvincing.

And as far as the new movies go, I think they (and The Force Awakens definitely) suffer (as did the prequels) from the need to shoehorn in references to OT characters just for the sake of pandering to fan nostalgia, but they still seem like competently structured movies.

Between the two, I think the post Disney movies are better because they better tell the stories they intend to.

Doing rough math -

A 2L engine uses 1L of air every cycle. At 1000 rpm, that's 500L (or .5 m^3) of air every minute.

A single car garage is 4m x 2m x 3m or 24 m^3. Running the car for 5 minutes just exchanged ~10% of the air for exhaust.

I'm sure my math is wrong somewhere and someone will come by to mention it's the CO concentration, not the % of air consumed (which is true), but it's interesting math none the less.

I see that what I said wasn't clear at all: I meant the specific kind of lead who will be setting everything up, ie. on a greenfield project. I think a lead on an established project falls into the camp of experienced people who can figure things out.

Another exception: contractors. In this case, you do want someone who is immediately productive in the language you're using because you do not reap any of the benefits of them ramping up like you do with permanent employees. For contractors, familiarity with the language and ecosystem is the more important part of their job; for employees, familiarity with the business is more important and the language stuff can be picked up.

> Put it another way: the me of 2018 knows this. The me of 1998 probably did not.

For this, I partly blame the dearth of mentoring[1] in the industry. It's been discussed here on HN countless times before, and I'm pretty sure that has been the case since well before even 1998.

The author does, of course, point out the "rush-rush-rush" culture of shipping fast and fixing later (if the company still exists). That does certainly make sense for very early startups, but it seems to have permeated everywhere, if it didn't originate in larger companies in the first place.

I also partly blame the pushing out of programmers (and perhaps other technical professionals) with this magnitude of experience: to continue in their careers they face a choice of switching to a much less programming-focussed job such as management [2] or consulting or professional services or sales engineering, contracting, or essentially accepting permanent wage stagnation by pretending to be less experienced and going for those kinds of jobs.

Some of this is ageism, I expect, but a better explanation seems to be economic incentives. Technical debt is invisible in quarterly results, but big salaries of senior engineers are. I'll keep my fingers crossed that now that money is going toward flying^H^H^H^H^H^Hself-driving cars instead of 140^H^H^H280 characters, this could change. Likely not in time to beat my parents to retirement but for me.

[1] By which I mean hiring relatively inexperienced, but presumably talented, staff and having more experienced staff members train them in best practices and process and skills that may not otherwise be learnable from reading, formal education, or even pair programming (though that can be a vehicle for mentorship). Management buy-in on this is key, especially in startups, where the managers themselves may be the ones who can benefit the most from such mentoring.

[2] Which could, in theory, be a beneficial use of all that gained wisdom, but, then, the experience stagnates, and they might just have had a single-step Peter Principle promotion.

Thomas, you're frightening me. I'm talking about relatively basic stuff here. I almost hope I'm wrong.

The only way one could ensure forward secrecy for everyone (sender and recipient), is with a handshake (typically a hail-challenge-response). This handshake can only happen when the recipient is online.

If the recipient is not online, as is expected of asynchronous communication applications such as email, an intermediate server has to hold the message for him. At this point, you either give up on the handshake, or hand over the secret key to the server.

Good luck setting up a trustworthy server. Even if I hosted my stuff at home, I might not be too keen on leaving it on where it could be examined by forensics while I am away. It's not bad, but it's not perfect either. And forget about third party servers, they are untrusted by default. I'd rather give up forward secrecy instead, and keep my private key on an encrypted file on my personal laptop.

So we can't have that hand shake. The protocol has to look like: (i) Alice and Bob know of each other's long term public keys. (ii) Alice encrypts then send a message to Bob. (iii) Bob receives then decrypt that message.

If I knew of a protocol that followed those constraints and still preserves forward secrecy, you could be damn sure I'd put it in Monocypher—one less thing the user could screw up. (Actually, I'd love to be proven wrong there, it would improve my crypto library right away.)

> It's obviously not impossible to build basically any peer-to-peer end-to-end protocol using email as a transport.

You'd still have to give the long term keys to a machine that is online when the message is sent. For asynchronous protocol, this means always online, and we're back to square one.

> But, if you were right, and it was, that wouldn't mean "forward secrecy doesn't make sense for email"; it would mean "cryptographic security doesn't make sense for email".

Are you implying that forward secrecy is required for "security"?

There are a few "known issues" with OpenLDAP [0] in the RHEL 7.5 release notes but I don't see that one mentioned.

ICYMI, the openldap-servers package is "deprecated and will not be included in a future major release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux".

For RHEL, that means it will remain in the 7.x versions but will not be included in 8.x when it is released (which should be Real Soon Now(tm)).

For CentOS, that also (likely) means that OpenLDAP will not be included in future (major) versions.

Smalltalk was not available to most programmers back then, it needed an expensive machine with a lot of memory

I was programming back then. It ran just fine on fairly standard commodity hardware from the time 486 stopped being "high end." Also, at one point the entire American Airlines reservations system was written in Smalltalk and running on 3 early 90's Power Mac workstations.

the implementations were very expensive.

More or less true. At one point there were $5k and $10k per-seat licenses.

Apps were also much smaller, so the disadvantages of C were less pressing.

There was a major DoD project that let defense analysts do down-to-the soldier simulations of entire strategic theaters. (So imagine this as an ultra-detailed, ultra realstic RTS.) They did this as a competition with 3 teams, one working in C++, one in another language I can't recall, and one in Smalltalk. The Smalltalk group was so far ahead of the other two, there was simply no question. That was a complex app. There were countless complex financial and logistics apps.

So, small apps? Not so much.

A follow on from this question is why you’d ever build a company based entirely on analyzing data from another company. Best and worst case scenarios:

* you do something amazing, and start making money. So your source company turns off your access to the data and makes there own version
* you never make enough money for them to care/notice you. They remove the source of data for non-competition related reasons/accidentally break the api and don’t care enough to fix it (if you’re not really making money presumably they’re not making money off you)

Shrug - maybe it’s simply a relatively easy way to get to the point where you can say enough buzzwords convincgly to get VC money?
