ASCII-ХУЙ project
Hello guys, let me introduce my OS project i was working on last 3 hours: https://github.com/mmmsharap/ASCII-XYN

It is very simple and configurable tool to get ascii ХУЙ-like pattern.

This project may look completely done but i have tons of ideas how to improve it.

First of all i will be nice to wrap it for command-line interface.

After it i have plans to make python3-compatible code and publish it on pypi and conda package indexers.

With projects's growth there will be so many ecosystem features as:

Cross-platform executables

Deb and rpm packages

React plugin

Mobile app

even Chrome extension

It will be awesome if ASCII-ХУЙ will be included in linux kernel but Linus Torvalds doens't think that (proof: https://github.com/mmmsharap/ASCII-XYN/commit/470e78b4d8300f4f8498d951b159b69b0fcb488c).

Also blockchain with machine learning and data mining is also planned.

Pull requests and clever issues are welcome.

Best regards,

Best Retard.
The Civil Services do not propose or enact laws.

An EU member state is a representative democracy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representative_democracy

The EU is not.

The non-democratic nature goes beyond legislation and affects the economy and poverty and austerity and taxes of members of the Eurozone who have given up their economic and thus political and thus democratic and cultural sovereignty.

Granted, the decision to remain in the Eurozone is a national democratic decision.

The situation of Greece shows that interests of private companies and states like Germany have priority over the poor members of the Eurozone and EU and IMO over good ethics and the common good.

Regarding Italy:

It is clear that EU member states are still competing against each other and that the EU is not a common democratic state but an organization where an EU elite and elites of competing members states and lobbyists fight for their ideological and economic and political interests.
I'm using Fedora right now, I've tooled around with others. I have a love hate relationship with Gnome 3, frequently contemplate the glory of an overly customized i3 or sway environment but not the amount of time I would put into making it. At the end of the day, I don't mind using Fedora with Gnome on my desktop since that's the self built toy anyway. Ubuntu is out of the question, too many anti-community decisions in that camp IMO (sorry if that's your camp).

I've gotten to a point in life now though where there are some things that I need to "just work". I used android devices for 10 years until I was forced to use an iPhone 6s at work and well now I happily own an iPhone 7 in my personal life. The UX made me go from disliking having a pocket computer to being ambivalent, net win. But having an iPhone and two Linux machines is inconvenient as hell and I'm really looking to get that laptop to just work now too.
I've always stated that Macs are a User's machine, not a Pro machine. And no number of "Pros" on stickered macs in conferences will convince me otherwise. The thing with a User's centric machine is that there are WAY more users than pros. Pro is a niche market. A sizeable one, but still niche compared to User space.

Since both of them appear quite well researched you can deduct why one got 500 upvotes and the other one 98. Power of emotions..
OP is clearly going through a hard time in their life right now.

Could have literally answered with their reply to almost any question.

Examples:

"Vanilla ice cream is good" - "Reminds me of cancer"

"Let's go watch 50 shades of grey" - "Reminds me of cancer"

"What do you think of bitcoin?" - "Reminds me of cancer"
Awesome, great article by the way —- we do not see too many cyberpunk discussions being facilitated here!
I got one of these new MacBooks at my new job (I requested a PC so I could run Linux, but they had already ordered a Mac) and I think I lasted on macOS for two days before I installed Linux. It was a pain to get working, but I'm really glad I did:

I haven't been a fan of osx since Snow Leopard, back before they destroyed Expose and replaced it with that Mission Control rubbish and completely mutilated Final Cut Pro.

I highly recommend using multi-stage builds to move the rust binary to a clean container. The rust build tool chain is fairly heavy and is unnecessary at runtime.

It can be as simple as adding something like this at the end of your Dockerfile.

FROM debian:jessie-slim

COPY --from=0 /src/target/release/my-bin /usr/bin/my-bin

ENTRYPOINT ["my-bin"]
In isolation, maybe. But there is a goodwill element that is very hard to gain and very easy to lose. Keeping the MacMini competitive, even at a slight loss, would ensure people keep a certain category of projects in the Apple ecosystem; goodwill levels would stay high and ensure people keep buying profitable iPhones and iPads.

It looks to me like Cook still lacks a certain vision for the ecosystem at large. He can clearly make individual products extremely profitable, but he can't really tie them all together in a coherent manner -- at least not on the techie side. He has a very good feeling for the consumer market, but a pretty bad one for the geeky niches. And the software is getting terrible -- typical for a traditional electronics company, which is what he's turning Apple into.
>user adoption won't happen without marketing.

I mean sure, if we describe "word of mouth" as "marketing". But God help me if I start seeing TV commercials[1] for Linux.

You can't put something as tall as a M.2 connector on the back side of an expansion slot without violating the form factor guidelines and enchroaching on the space of the next slot over. The only compliant way to put M.2 drives on the back is to use an offset edge connector so the main board is a bit lower than it usually would be. Amfeltec has some boards like this, but I think they have a patent on their offset connector. http://amfeltec.com/products/pci-express-gen-3-carrier-board...
I'd caution against this, because I've done it. I'm using a 2016 MacBook Pro for basically everything from design work to development. Getting fired up and setting up my workflow took no effort. I bought another laptop to run linux/windows and my god everything took so much longer to do. Most applications would require me to pull up some third party documentation to install. By the time that was done the task would have already been done on the MacBook. Now that laptop just sits and hosts a plex server or plays some games.

But that doesn't mean I wouldn't like things to get better because Apple is seriously dragging their feet. The touchbar is super annoying and really miss having actual buttons. It's beautiful hardware but would love more focus on figuring out the mess of port issues. Too many adapters!
My problems-

> Documentation is written with IOS as the primary system. I still consider this to be a betrayal of programming fundementals

>Hot reload stopped working overnight once. No way to root cause this. Ive never guessed so hard. Still not fixed, might just reflash my entire computer since uninstalling and reinstalling didnt work.

But really, showcasing the native platform for dev being Apple Irks me. They are bottom barrel for programmers.
Does it, though?
I'm guessing you don't use the command line much.
Oh my where do I begin -- Yarn (to me) appears to be faster, and breaks less (if ever). With NPM I kept finding things not working, and having to delete node_modules and re-installing. Yarn just works, and I haven't even considered using NPM since installing yarn.

Hilarious since it is a giant chunk of aluminium, more than eight times the size of a typical 35W NUC-type machine, and has a fan.
Find a cheap laptop on craigslist, thinkpad or chromebook would be good.

It's really a difficult issue. There has been a lot of discussion about it in the Communications of the ACM over the past decade (maybe longer, I've only been a member so long). Companies don't want there to be any standards because it would mean they would have to pay a lot more for skilled developers, they would have to have software engineers able to override MBAs when making business decisions about scheduling, they would be answerable when they cut corners while treating software as a cost center (despite their business being literally impossible to conduct without it in most cases), etc.

Developers, meanwhile, generally don't like the idea because it raises the barrier to entry, and it would establish standards that are extremely likely to be disagreed with by large numbers of people. Other professions have dealt with this, however, so it's not a completely unsolvable problem. I'd personally think that 'registered, licensed software engineers' might be something that a company would only need if producing certain kinds of products. If you're building an in-house processing system whose behavior and outputs your business is entirely legally responsible for, you probably don't need the licensed engineers. If you're building self-driving cars, though, yeah, you'd have to follow some standard practices and such. One would hope they would be fairly high-level, such as simply requiring static analysis be performed rather than getting as specific as mandating a specific tool be used.

It's understandable that there is hesitation, but I worry that the hesitation will bite us badly. A government stepping in and mandating programming languages and libraries and creating a regulatory body and all of that wouldn't be completely unheard of for things dealing with infrastructure. And nobody wants that.
You shouldn't be amazed that not everyone is, or historically has been, an anarchist who views government as antithetical to capital-F freedom (whatever that's supposed to mean.)
SparkSQL doesn’t support gz. Are your logs splittable on a file-by-file basis or are they in gz format?

Where are your logs stored? Is that a distributed storage? Will SparkSQL not eat all of the bandwidth of it’s ethernet interfaces?

Yeah; sure.
Food is to share. If not as sustenance, than as the energy to build something.

AvE (a rather vulgar engineer on youtube) did a good review of what he thinks went wrong, right after it collapsed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioC61QW7SHQ

Not with all of the facts, yet interesting to see the conjecture and reasoning of trying to figure out what went wrong.

Information Asymmetry in Crowdfunding
Investment crowdfunding is the first time that the average investor has to perform diligence and asses risks on a startup rather than an established company that they are used to investing in via the public markets. The risks involved in these investments are much different. Many of these investors are looking at what product or service is going to be the next big thing when really they don’t take into consideration the more valuable aspects for a startup to be successful which is management team, traction, competition, and scalability.
The problem with startups raising funds under Reg. CF is that there is a lack of information on the company for investors to research before they make an investment. The core information will come from the deal info on the funding portal (which is really just a sales pitch) and the offering statement which is a long document that can intimidate and disinterest the average investor. So now that the availability to raise funds has been democratized, how do we create an equal playing field when it comes to making informed investment decision via equity/debt crowdfunding? In my opinion, company information and investment research is something that should also be crowd sourced and made available for investors so they can, together, find and invest in viable companies. Funding portals perform some diligence on the companies that they host on their platform, however, they have alternative incentives to host companies on these platforms, and they themselves are not investing. It is up to the investor to perform the right diligence to make informed decisions.
An aggregation of crowdfunding deals along with individual investment analysis from the “crowd” is made available via Crowd Lustro to solve some of these inefficiencies and help non-accredited investors that are new to this style investing make informed, risk assessed decisions together.
Could you elaborate about the value of Elixir, please?
It's been on my radar for quite a while now.
Wow, I didn't realize Software Craftsmanship (capital letters) was a movement, or even an organized thing. One you put capital letters on something and start having conferences, it's probably just someone trying to make a buck off of it.

For me, software craftsmanship (lower case) is just having pride in what you are making, and constantly improving your work based on a multitude of things, performance being only a small part of it.

Software certainly shouldn't be about adhering to strict processes and principles; software is a creative endeavor. Sometimes you can write novels, sometimes you can write haiku, sometimes you can write sonnets, sometimes you can write long form articles.
Paying attention to the attitude indicator is absolutely not the right way to fly in visual conditions for many reasons. The best way to deal with reduced visibility under VFR is by doing a thorough preflight planning (e.g. stay on the ground when the weather is marginal) and applying proper risk management techniques in the air (e.g. divert, turn back, land etc when the weather deteriorates)

In the U.S. we are required to give at least 3 hours of instrument training for Private Pilot license. There is no such requirement for Sport Pilot or Recreation Pilot License

In my experience teaching hundreds of private, instrument, and commercial pilots 3 hours is not enough to develop any kind of instrument proficiency. For people who take the instrument rating course it usually takes around 20 hours to develop minimal instrument proficiency. Simulator training helps a lot when done with a qualified instructor who understands how to teach instruments in a sim (unfortunately many don't). But even the students who nail the sim portion often struggle in the real aircraft when they are faced with task saturation.
That's really awesome, thanks!
I'm baffled too. Then again the largest company I've run had tens of people. Things change as you get bigger. :)

I am a bit surprised that they can figure out an iMac Pro apparently quite quickly but only after all the bad press about losing interest in the Mac. Surely their engineers are as disappointed by lack of Mac Pro, Mini and adequate Macbook Pro as the typical HN thread? So where was the internal feedback? They must have thousands of people fully aware of interesting things in other markets like Intel NUCs and that much of their current range, phones excluded, is as you put it just meh. Or touchbar was solving a non-problem.

How to fix it? See first paragraph, they won't be calling me. :)
An academic with a chair said that? Sounds so unlikely I'm not sure I believe you.

Are you now claiming to be the ultimate authority on academics and their interactions with 'paidleaf?
Exactly this. I brought in maps from three different mapping sources and loads of research papers on the subject of GPS, but the judge said it was irrelevant and found guilty. This is despite the fact that the prosecuting Garda could not produce the calibration certificate for the van.

For challenging and losing my wife got 5 points instead of 3 for just paying the fine without a fuss.

This situation hit me hard, made me really doubt the impartiality of the courts.
Happy to talk about the landline product. Just for clarification, the mobile product works completely differently.

1. Yes, pretty much. Here's a more in-depth answer to what happens when the call is answered - http://www.6083716666.com/

2. Yes, we do get a log of the incoming calls. We use that to analyze the high frequency calling patterns across millions of phone lines and build the blacklist. The more people that contribute, the better the algorithm gets.

3. We globally manage the whitelist and good robocalls (school closings, pharmacies, doctors offices, etc)

4. We don't work with POTS lines yet. The older technologies are tougher to protect than the modern ones.
Interesting point.

I don't think behaving more like kids is something confined to dads, or even men as a whole either. It seems modern adults are maturing far more slowly or even showing some signs of regression now.

I don't have anything to compare it with, but grown men burning their evenings in front of a games console, playing games aimed at children, and grown women slathering pictures of themselves all over social media in an attempt to garner attention and social acceptance, with both groups seeming to want to be their kids' "buddies" more than ever, doesn't seem to be a positive direction for things to go in.

Who knows. I may be bah humbugging here. I'm young enough that I can't reasonably say "in my day adults were adults!", just that the direction things appear to be going in (socially, and as role models for children) does not appear to be promising.
It's not hard to do spec upgrades. They do it for their iPhones. They can certainly do it for their desktop/laptop computers. As a developer, I really like my late 2016 MBP. However, I think it's absurd that I can walk into the store a few years later and purchase the exact same computer.

Seriously Apple, no one expects innovation every year on the desktop. But for christ sake, update the CPU and increase the RAM since you soldered it on a few years ago.
> Nim supports real threads with message passing channels (similar to Go).

Could you specify what are the differences from Go, in this regard are, please?
> When the CEO dumps the CTO and folds the job into his own, the startup is dead, no matter for how long it continues to turn a profit.

Is this exclusive to the c-suite, or is "CTO" interchangeable with "Head of Product?"
Unplug.

I started to use two phones one smartphone and one dummy phone for messages and phone calls. I stop to google everything. I'm fine to say I don't know and I don't have to get correct answer now. I can live with it. I also started to listen more radio and push to disconnect from internet and computers. I learn to use pen and block to write old-fashion way and it helps a lot.

All this has paid back very well, I learn how to think without interruption, be more creative, talk with people, listen and it removed a lot of stress, pressure and other problems related to information overload and smartphone addiction. I want to continue on that and cut my computer time to less than 4 hours per day (all devices, smartphone, laptop, tablet...).
$2000 for a machine used only for Netflix streaming, Facebook, and basic web browsing, is pretty ignorant.
There's a whole lot wrong with this paper, but I think that the biggest is that it is attacking a giant fantasy—the idea that biology above the molecular level has been abandoned. As well as the fact that the subfields of biology that aren't molecular biology and biochemistry still exist as active fields of study and research, a lot of what people working in molecular biology and genetics are doing is looking at the relationship between low-level processes and higher-level structure and activity.
The blog post doesn't mention integer overflows. If integers wrap around on overflow, min(INT_MIN - 1, 0 - 1) = -1 but min(INT_MIN, 0) - 1 = INT_MAX. However, in PHP the values are converted to floats, which should preserve the equation min(a -c, b - c) = min(a, b) - c.

Not the OP, but my advice would be:

Read the "classics" - Code Complete, Pragmatic Programmer, Clean Code etc. Google "best books about programming" and you'll find plenty.

When you're reading think about the why. You're job is dealing in complexity and there is no one true way. Understand as many of the different ways as possible.

If you think an idea is weak, try and figure out a question that exposes the weakness (how does this handle a date before 1970?). Expect that sometimes this question will reveal the idea isn't as weak as you initially expected.

Remember you only need to solve the problem that's in front of you. If that problem doesn't seem easy try to break it up into smaller problems.

Complicated solutions are often bad solutions.

Complicated solutions can be good solutions.

Survive/caffeine through the 9-5.

Nap for 20 minutes(biphasic sleep), I can send you a link for details. Me and the wife have been doing this for years.

Then I have a paxx which holds ~1/8 of g. I'll take that 2-3 puffs. That is usually very light but changes things for 90 minutes.

Then I'll use the paxx to completion. Similar time line.

Then I'll light the toasted paxx extra.

Thats at least 4 hours of focus. I often still need music to get started, but I can totally crush hours of work with the extra energy.
So if I were to release a token or coin today, without spending 100k-$1m on lawyer fees, what is the "correct" way to do so?

It seems that if I do an ICO then follow it up with mining or fair distribution? Can I do an airdrop? What about setting up a distribution fountain and burning the rest?

SEC is frustrating to entrepeneurs in this space. Essentially what I'm reading is that they will wait until the winners emerge then start charging people they don't like since everyone is guilty.
Serial is still the best server console. Especially if you seperately have power control and a way to hit the drop to debugger interrupt.
