Generally I agree with you but there's a really, really clear pattern in everything anyone's ever written about an encounter with Steve Jobs. Over the space of decades he was unpredictably charming or abusive, a consummate manipulator and user, completely untrustworthy and seemingly without a conscience.

It's not a clinical diagnosis and should never be treated as such. But after you've run into a couple of people in your own life with those same attributes and that same pattern of behaviour, that's plenty to go on.

What exactly would ‘amazing encounters’ encompass? :-)
> Hoping to highlight the elusive order in the distribution of the primes, he and his student Ge Zhang had modeled them as a one-dimensional sequence of particles — essentially, little spheres that can scatter light. In computer experiments, they bounced light off long prime sequences, such as the million-or-so primes starting from 10,000,000,019.

It sounds like they simulated shining light on particles that were distributed based on the interval between subsequent primes, then looked for patterns in the resulting diffraction. The title was worded that way for a pun (the chemist revealed interesting information about the pattern by literally shining light on it).
Even Bill Gates in his AMA said its reasonably accurate.
If the badging didn't force an 8-hr workday, then how did the badging force an 8-hr workday?

Maybe the "forcing" was employee paranoia?
Makes sense. I was imagining some kind of steampunkish mechanical contraption.
When I used to work on turbo generators, the kind you find at power plants I saw carnage of what happens when those blow up. The retaining rings on the ends, typically a few thousand pounds were prone to breaking on older generators because of the alloy used. When that would happen it would send the projectiles through steel and concrete walls.

The balance bunker for load testing and balancing these at the shop I worked in was a pit 40 feet underground with 50 ton caps placed over top.
Yeah, if you consider the actual cost of visits, the end product has to subsidize the entire business. It took 3 visits for me to get contacts. The contacts were about $200 for a year's supply, and each visit was about $60.00. Each of the people involved has to make a part of that as their pay, and on top of that they have to rent an office, maintain stock, lease equipment, etc.. All to sell me some squishy bits of hydrogel for less than what a cell phone costs. I'm really surprised if they broke even on me.

It's not worth the effort for just one person. I need a service a majority of my friends can use. And they're not interested in something that to them is essentially the same as AIM from 20 years ago.

I really want to like Signal, but the phone number requirement just won't work for me. In the last five years, I've had a phone number for only about one year, and it's changed three times. I'm just not good with holding on to phone numbers. It's a large part of why I rarely communicate via phone calls or SMS.

I've tried Wire, but there were issues getting notifications on Android. If this has changed, maybe it can work for me now. I would prefer XMPP but I do like Wire.

edit: to add, I would highly recommend using a workflow engine over a distributed messaging system. With messages it's hard to track where a given work item is in your pipeline, and it's not always easy to do mass operations such as just stopping all running workflows (e.g. when you have an outage) and resuming them later, re-driving failed items from the beginning of the workflow, etc. Workflow engines typically give you a nice dashboard where you can do all those things, for free.
LLVM Weekly – #228, May 14th 2018
Agreed on this point, although I also find the terminology of "legally enslaved" to be poor as I'm sure the enslaved people themselves did not give credence to that law.
Okay, so there aren't primary sources. That's totally fine, though at this point, it's moot to speak about the relative ability for a traditional culture to cope with elevated mortality since we've moved into dealing with conjecture purely in slave economies created by conquerors and entirely subaltern peoples.

Just curious, earlier you stated that you spent "a lot of [your] mental life in the 17th century", where does that reach extend to? Is it just Portugal or is it specific to the Atlantic Slave Trade?
There's a lot of shitty companies. Particularly in sfbay.

My personal take is there's not a shortage of engineers, there's a shortage of not-shit workplaces.
This is the third article I've seen in a week about how terrible copyright law is.

Is there some copyright related event coming up soon?
I played with an Asus 302 flip for about a month, which convinced me to by an i5 Pixelbook last December. Both showed no signs of being sluggish or laggy while having as many tabs as I can throw at it open, xfce running in a crouton chroot, and a shell open with ssh into a remote box. That includes having a number of Google Sheets open at once, as well as two email tabs, and general browsing in addition to the Linux GUI app I run and ssh sessions.

So maybe its the processor,not the OS?

To make a comparison, my 2016 15" Touchbar Macbook Pro is a constantly, spinning beachball machine above all else. It gathers dust in the corner while these machines that are 1/5 and 1/3 the price are an actual joy to use.

I've played with the Linux install on the Pixelbook, but haven't yet taken the time to move over completely from Crouton, which works fine for me.

There's a few funky things. For example, it becomes easiest just to store all your files in the Downloads folder as that's the only folder the chroot can access. But it seems like they're ironing those things out.

I've been a happy Mac user since 2006. I'm suddenly a huge Chromebook advocate. Both of these machines are the best experience I've gotten from a new machine since I got my first Macbook Air.

I have to agree. The title seemed to indicate being abducted as slaves was part of the story. But, the slaves were part of a legal slave trade at the time. The real story was their survival as castaways. The fact that they were slaves is incidental.
Trump at Davos: At last, an embrace by global elites
That's true, but I suspect all humans needed to wipe most of these animals out was the invention of the spear. There's a difference in what humans hunt compared to most animals. Large healthy animals are quite dangerous, as anyone who's been kicked by a horse can attest, so often their predators are limited to the sick or otherwise vulnerable ones, limiting the population damage they can cause.

Humans can throw a bunch of spears at the biggest thing they can find and follow it until its injuries to do it in. That's great from the perspective of being able to get a lot of food, but not so great in that you're killing off the healthy breeding population.
Yeah, I don't think a scooter qualifies.

I guess, my argument would be that the Supreme Court should look at "would a law with this same intent/effect pass constitutional muster if written differently? and how meaningful would the differences be".

Otherwise this is just a game of legal gotcha that gives more power to the Supreme Court than it should really have.

No we had Australia currency. There certainly was a breakaway from Britain during WWII after Churchill abandoned us and the USA came to our rescue. Curtin pulling the Australian troops out of North Africa was probably the point of no return.

It was a slow divorce from the empire, but it was well advance pre WWII.

In some ways the relationship of Australia (and NZ) was similar to that of the countries of the EU. There was free movement of people (provided you were white) and free trade around the empire, but most people thought of themselves as citizens of their own countries.

Resort to bitcoin for WL donations had nothing to do with money laundering. People were cut off from donating by credit card companies and banks disabling WL accounts under pressure from the State Department. It still wasn't illegal to donate to them, and bitcoin donations can be explained without bringing intent to conceal into it.
If you want your baby screened but don't want your state to keep the sample, the mayo clinic has a screening panel that does all the federally recommended tests, and another one that does this and a bunch more.

The doctors at Kaiser were totally useless when I asked about this: they'd go from "gee, I never heard about this" to "shrug, it's an official state program", and then they piled on the guilt trip about how urgent it is once my kid was born and I was sleep deprived. Bastards.

So you have to research it yourself and get a pediatrician to order the test from Mayo before your child is born, so it's all arranged once you're in labor. Then make sure they use that test, and you opt out of the state test. (Or better yet, if your state claims it's mandatory, refuse the test and if they do it anyway you've got casus belli for a constitutional challenge)

It will fade natural fibers, but with 100% synthetic fabrics the dye or pigment is usually mixed into the plastic before it's turned into fibers. In this case the bleach can only affect a very thin surface layer, which causes no visible color change.
Sonic has a fantastic privacy policy. For comparison, we follow all the same tenets and believe that both contractual and technical safeguards are the best way to ensure our operators do as well. We should definitely be more public about that to non-customers though--both so prospective customers know and to make sure there's public accountability behind it.
How does one properly quote an argument for a command that can contain spaces?

For example:

parent_dir = "$(basename $dir)"

How to quote $dir here? What if it contains spaces or other special characters?

That's what I dislike about Bash.

Also, always start your scripts with

set -e

This prevents script from running after error, without any messages though.

Also, I always make mistakes when using [ and [[.
This isn't a problem I have. Especially if I'm running my own server.

We use Apache Oozie (http://oozie.apache.org/) an orchestration system for Hadoop. We don't run days-long workflows, but we run some that have over a dozen steps, and I have no reason to believe Oozie couldn't handle longer-running workflows. Oozie has facilities for handling retries based on user-defined behaviors, and because it can run shell scrips, Java apps, Spark jobs, and most anything in the Hadoop ecosystem, I've found it to be pretty easy to integrate with our other tooling. My one complaint (and it's more a complaint with YARN) is that it can be quite difficult to get your hands on logs when your workflows fail. You can get them, but it can be a real pain.

We were running Oozie on Cloudera, but are migrating to AWS, and I was pleased to find that it can be installed on an EMR cluster[1] and managed with Hue[2] which has a decent UI to administer the schedule with, and a visualization depicting the workflow DAG.

What really scares me about the chans is that during the government shutdowns the anti-black posts completely stopped. /pol/ is normally littered with them as well as other kinds of racist garbage, but it was the black ones alone that just vanished. After the shutdowns they returned immediately. Who on earth is being paid to do this and why?
An article about the piece: https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/9kgx7p/painting-m...
Cut is a really terrible example though, because the entire naming of the 'cut' operation isn't intuitive. "Cut" is really "relocate-object-action-first-half" and "paste" is really "relocate-object-action-second-half". We don't have good words for that. The entire relocation object involves program state and that adds some extra complexity.

Cut has a whole heap of connotations that don't relate to the editing "cut" operation. Google suggests incision, wound, to separate into parts, "remove (something) from something larger by using a sharp implement". Editing cut doesn't do any of this.

There is a very specific link in that relocating text /could be/ thought of as snipping it off a page and pasting it somewhere else, except no-one would ever do that when writing seriously. They erase and rewrite.

So the scissors icon links to the word cut, but cut itself is actually a mystery-meat operation where figuring it out is hard for users that aren't already savvy with interfaces. By extension, the scissors icon has no link to the actual operation that the button performs.
Quantum Hackathon Moscow (MSU+Skoltech) – Quantiki
Re sperm and eggs, this is my go-to argument against anti-womans-choicers: functionally there is no difference between plan A (condoms and birth control), plan B (the morning after pill), and plan C (abortion) - all three result in a baby not being born. If one is going to argue that it's a crime that a fertilized egg is terminated, one must also lament the loss of billions of lives to periods.

Unfortunately this argument doesn't hold water when someone tries to say that their god intervenes and decides to overcome man-made barriers to fertilization, because that particular special snowflake baby needs to be born. Unsure why the soul assigned to that fertilized egg doesn't just find another but that just goes to show how messy the whole damn debate is.

Incidentally, this is also my argument against me having babies - knowing that regardless of the number of babies I have, I will feel unconditional love and gratitude at each and every one's existence, and because I can't possibly compare my comfort or economic well being against the value of a human life, the only logical conclusion I can come to is I should have as many babies as I physically can. Or, I should have none.
Unfortunately comment sections usually don't work like that :(

in failsafe systems it's best not to depend on the thing you expect to fail to behave in a particular way when it... fails, redundancy is the key.
The advice to double-quote everything is an interesting way to circumvent "detailed knowledge may be required". I wish it noted that you can't quote regular expressions, though:

[[ $a =~ .C. ]] && echo 1
[[ $a =~ ".C." ]] && echo 2

I'm not sure of that, yet. We haven't managed to pin down what "I" is or even what "existence" is. I'm thinking in the "we virtualized a copy of your brain" sense - just what is consciousness?
There is a fair amount of content on the CentOS wiki but, as you've noticed, some of it is extremely outdated or was written for older CentOS versions. One page on there that I came across recently was almost 10 years old!

Depending on what the topic is, the age of an article may not be all that relevant -- the important thing is to make sure that it's aimed at the version of CentOS that you're running. Some of those old wiki pages were written for CentOS 4 and that's been EOL for over six years!

If you have run into problems or have some specific questions, the CentOS forums can be a great resource. There seems to be some pretty knowledgeable folks there and the moderators will, at the least, ensure that no incorrect or outdated information is given out.

Finally, remember that Red Hat publishes a tremendous amount of technical documentation for RHEL 7 [0] which (with a few exceptions) also applies directly to CentOS 7. The PDF versions of their "Installation Guide" [1] and "System Administrator's Guide" [2] for RHEL 7 weigh in at 489 and 602 pages, respectively.

At times, you may come across knowledge base articles or other documentation on their "customer portal" (access.redhat.com) [3] but that you can't see because it requires an account. Fortunately, they have a (free!) "Red Hat Enterprise Linux Developer Program" [4] that you can sign up for which will give you access to that "customer portal" in addition to providing you with a valid license to run RHEL (as well as a lot of their other stuff) for development/testing purposes. See the original announcement [5] and/or press release [6] for more information.

There's no difference. You're talking about the program, I'm talking about the mechanism. Either way:

* Nothing about "pipes" prevents them from squelching unauthenticated plaintext.
IIRC, in the absence of writing, humans had great oral memory. Not only that but they used other mental tricks. EX: Aborigines connecting myths to places in terms like "... And this is where angry bear slept for three days. The water here is still poisonous today from his angry urine..." and so on.

I would say it's more precarious than "modern knowledge" but we haven't really tested the longevity of tech civilization. There are still tribes in Siberia who tell legends of the hunter of the sky tracking the great deer. The "problem" is that they're talking about a set of constellations that were last visible 20000+ years ago. If disaster strikes, how many mediums will be rendered useless (floppies, CDs, lithograph, tapes, etc.)?

There was something a bit like that for trucks a few years ago, that captured pressurised exhaust while the truck was engine braking and then used it (not sure exactly how) to help the truck accelerate again. Apparently it saved significant amounts of fuel in stop-start situations (rubbish trucks etc.), not sure what happened to it though.
There seems to be a plague of vendor schemes attempting to lock up your own designs into their proprietary service.

While there surely are benefits to many classes of uses to having their data accessible via a cloud service, I think the main benefit is getting that recurring revenue on the vendors' balance sheet.
Yes, you're right, but the physics are different. Soap is different than laundry detergent and is designed for your relatively non-porous watertight skin, which when held under a stream of water lets bacteria wash away easily.

Fabric is much more porous and absorbs deeply, along with the trouble of being enclosed in a sealed container. No matter how much soap and water is used, it's unlikely to truly wash away the microscopic bacteria trapped within the fibers.

There are some experimental machines using ultrasound to agitate clothing for removing stains, germs and even the water itself for instant drying, but that's not quite production ready.
