BART and other big city light rail systems are plagued with billions in deferred maintenance because while politicians love ribbon cutting and pontificating they balk when the bill comes due. Across the US there is about a hundred billion in such deferred maintenance and the vast majority of it is for light rail systems that were built more because they could and sounded good than built where they would be used. Worse, to compensate for the costs bus routes get reduced which just exacerbates problems.

hence why we have taxi services, why all cities across the world have taxi and similar services. transit cannot go everywhere nor can it quickly adapt to changes in public needs. buses are the best bet for adapting but services need both rolling stock, drivers, and usage cases, to move whereas taxi and ride sharing services react on need.

plus in the current meta where "soon" there will be self driving cars and buses all which are EV it will completely transform public transit. I just hope to be there will it does.
It will bring jobs back if there are enough people who can afford the local made product. And I wouldn't be sure about it, since in the last few years we have witnessed a thinning of the middle class, and the lower parts of the population might not afford to pay a premium because it's locally made.

It's hard to go back from a race to the bottom
Actually, this is not valid under the GDPR. It explicitly states that data sharing must be opt-in.
To make it valid, everything must be deselected by default.

But there is another pattern, that actually is allowed. Have everything deselected, put a "select all" button somewhere people easily click it by mistake, and offer no "deselect all" button.

Same here, I get so tired after lunch. I did a full blood panel and nothing abnormal. I eat low carb, healthy lunches and I still get tired. The only thing that helps is a strong coffee or a nap.
Again. That is simply false. The waste majority of their flights are not for the government and they do not depend on the government contracts to keep them going.

Also they are offering their services to NASA cheaper then all competition (domestic and global) by as much as 50%. NASA itself admitted that they can not do it cheaper then commercial partners.

So what you problem?
You mean, something that even lower middle class people can afford?

Your comment rings sanctimonious to me.

While I agree that major airlines should do better in some areas, they are also just responding to consumer demand.

Should the people who cannot afford higher fares just exist in a lower caste where flying is not achievable? Those people for whom lower fares are the priority, you feel they just shouldn’t be able to attend a family member’s funeral or college graduation?

That is how things are in my extended family in the US. A spare couple hundred dollars for even a routine round-trip fair between major cities is still a very difficult stretch for them.

If grumpy people who can easily afford the flights are annoyed by the lack of frills and the cheapness, yet people who are less well off can possibly afford more flights, that seems like a positive overall for society to me.

Has anyone seen research into letting your body sleep as long as it wants by not setting an alarm? I don't set an alarm anymore and reason that my body will wake up when it wants to. However doctors have told me that just because I don't "artificially" wake up, I might not be getting enough sleep.
> Am I correct in assuming that you can still (easily) obtain, inspect and profile the Futhark-generated OpenCL code using the usual tools? I suppose a sensible workflow could be using Futhark to get as far as you can and then hand optimize the bottleneck kernels further.

Sort of. Futhark generates pretty simple OpenCL host code, but there is not yet an obvious way to tie the generated kernels back to the original Futhark source code. As a result, it's easy enough to detect that some specific kernel is the bottleneck, and often also why, but it can be a bit of a puzzle to connect it to a part of the original program. While you can in principle edit the generated kernels yourself, it's not code that is at all nice to read or modify.

> Do you happen to know of any scientific/engineering applications (lattice Boltzmann methods, molecular dynamics, etc.) using Futhark in the wild?

No. Closest are simple things like nbody[0] simulations.

> From a quick glance at the website it seemed like all of the applications are focused on image/video processing, any reason for that?

Not sure. Most of these are stencils, and while Futhark does alright with stencils, it doesn't do anything particularly clever (no hexagonal tiling, for example). Maybe it's just that they are easy and satisfying to write, because you trivially get something visual at the end.

Futhark's design was originally inspired by nasty financial algorithms (the ones from the FinPar suite[1]), which tend to be a combination of Monte Carlo methods and differential equations. I'd say that is Futhark's main strength.

This started well before the Chinese were into manufacturing, clear back in the 70s with cheap Japanese imports. Then it moved to Taiwan, and now China. Honestly, wages in the US have been too high to avoid this for quite a long time, and the only way I see consumer manufacturing moving back is through increased automation.

Unfortunately, I see no realistic way to bring back the kind of manufacturing jobs in the same numbers we had in the 50s-70s. And nobody wants to work them anyway, a family friend runs a small company making material handling equipment, and he is always short of assemblers. At one point he was starting assemblers higher than welders, and still struggled. We're fighting too many years of telling kids to avoid the trades and go to college. I can't find the link, but NPR recently ran a story about innovative schools that are starting maker spaces. All schools used to have that, it was called shop class.

These moves from the trump administration seem to me like closing the gate after the horses have already bolted, and stand to harm what manufacturing jobs we have left as well as pissing off our allies.
This benchmark is kind of meaningless. What is a "TCP request response" actually measuring? Any Linux server can certainly handle more than 340 HTTP reqs/sec for example.

The "netperf" benchmarking software appears to be from 1993 (complete with a webpage from that era! https://hewlettpackard.github.io/netperf/) so I have a lot of doubts that it is using modern networking APIs or taking advantage of modern hardware.

I tell that issue is not only in Linux packaging, but in full changing poject development strategy: moving from "FOSS", to "proprietary+open sourcecode".

That's why I asked, what he know about "QCAD & LibreCAD; OpenOffice & LibreOffice" stories.

@jchw told that he don't know any reason why Aseprite forked to LibreSprite, other than Linux distribution issue.

I give him an answer, that issue with Aseprite was NOT only in Linux packaging, but in changing strategy of original project development (including re-licensing of source code to non-FOSS software). And according that I told that there are already precedents for similar situations -- as result we has now LibreOffice & LibreCAD.
A-10 is an amazing plane. Keep it, improve on it.
The entire worldwide trade order was created by the US throwing its weight around. Those cheap Chinese goods, Korea, Japan, the WTO, the poles of axis. Drug prices, intellectual property protections. All courtesy of the US. That order that made the US the richest country in the world, home to the most powerful companies in the world.

So the whole Trump narrative that you're regurgitating is a bit odd.

And it is already backfiring spectacularly, and is poised to get much worse. Those "big boy pants" turned out to have a smattering of urine and feces in them. Trump's ignorant, hap-hazard way of "negotiating" has alienated friends and foes, and made the world re-evaluate why it is playing the US agenda.

Another post noted that the whole thing has been unfair to low income earners in the US, as if the outrageous disparity in the US is really the result of those damn foreigners. Only that disparity has only gotten worse under Trump's ignorant policies.

Maybe get back to the original question and the reason Trump is interested in starting a trade war? Why is it OK for other countries to levy tariffs against us but not the other way around?
Oh, better: under uncontrolled conditions where it was impossible to tell whether anyone actually meditated and there's likely to be some self-selection bias.

HPE announces world's largest ARM-based supercomputer: 2.3 Pflops
You asserted, without evidence and in absolute terms, that the manager is trying to "sabotage" OP's career, advocated that he quit his job, and that the manager is "bad" and "selfish." That's a lot of assumptions based on four short sentences.

All we really know is 1) OP wants to give a talk at an industry event and 2) his manager asked him not to.

Yes, there seems to be a disconnect—on the OP's side. There may be one on the manager's side also; we don't know. It is also not the responsibility of the manager alone to make the relationship work. People have their own interpretation of events, and ultimately none of us commenting knows what efforts the manager has made and what OP's interpretation of those efforts was.
Interesting! I feel like an asshole teenager in retrospect. I pirated it :(
A good question indeed considering "the cloud" thrives on Linux, and increasingly Docker/Linux containers. What I've seen happening is that there are lots of Docker images installing (parts of) Ubuntu/Debian or Alpine on first startup (coreutils, bash, gawk, package managers and what not). Not saying it's against the letter of GPL, but to me this, if not Docker in general, had always the smell of a GPL-circumvention technique. I'm not a GPL zealot or something; if anything, GPL (except AGPL) hasn't so far prevented concentration in the hands of very few cloud providers, and in becoming Android (largest Linux install base by far) a blatant privacy invasion instrument.

Given that BSD doesn't require you to go through such hoops for a POSIX API, it's a mystery to me why the BSDs aren't more used in the enterprise/SaaS space.

The US has always argued for other countries to reduce their tariffs. Here's an article from 2002, for example: https://yaleglobal.yale.edu/content/obstacles-zero-tariffs

"The fact is that there is a strong feeling in the developing world that trade rules do not apply equally. Indeed, Washington lost the moral high ground earlier this year when it slapped steep tariffs on steel imports and locked in subsidies for its farmers. As well, the US has in place a sophisticated regime of non-tariff barriers such as anti-dumping laws that exporters from developing countries have found difficult, if not downright impossible, to circumvent. "

(The "non-tariff barriers" are important - all kinds of environmental and safety standards could be considered as these, and they can be far more difficult to deal with than simply paying an import duty. This is another thing a lot of Brexiteers haven't realised)

As a data point, in most of the ${BIGCORP}'s I've worked there are also infrastructure roles most people don't see or think about, which have access across wider environments.

* Storage engineers: Generally have access to most storage (all of dev/test/prod) in their group. Sometimes their access is silo'd, sometimes not.

* Backup engineers: Generally have read/write access to _everything_, and all historical versions of it, as backup systems need to be able to do both read/write. Fairly often there are ways for this access to be "unlogged" too, so the actions aren't captured into any system auditing logs (otherwise it can screw things up). I've not (yet) seen access for backup engineers ever be silo-d, but some places might be doing it and I've just never seen it. :)

We levy plenty of tariffs on goods from other countries to protect local industries - on average ours are very slightly lower than places like the EU, but it’s like ~2.5% vs 3%, not 0% vs 30%, which seems to be your claim.

There is irony in your "off by default" statement when it comes to GNU toolsets. ECMA48 colour and italics support is on by default in GNU troff, which should not come as a surprise as GNU troff was begun over a decade after ECMA48 was first published and the idea of multiple colours was fairly normalized and widespread at that point. Linux distributors and FreeBSD people later went to significant lengths to turn it off, with extra flags and macros.

My point was that despite policy/law, the arguments against back doors for encryption rely on the assumption that "the system" and those that control it cannot be trusted. So while it's great that Apple and others are telling us that the location is only shared when calling 911, critics of encryption backdoor would claim this "promise" is just that ... a promise. If good guys can access this data, that means bad guys can too (just like encryption backdoors!)
