OLPC's stated aim was to ensure that governments that couldn't provide children with adequate free education or even clean drinking water could provide them each with their own personal computers, with the belief this would result in demonstrable improvements in literacy and numeracy.

This appears to have the more modest and commercial objective of selling Linux netbooks that mimic the aesthetics and OS behaviour of higher end machines sold in the West to middle class college students in developing countries, with the belief they'll use it to complete coursework or improve their English language reading skills amongst other things. If it fails, it'll probably be because Samsung et al can do the same thing far more efficiently and setting up supply chains in Cambodia is really hard rather than because they were aiming for a questionable target.

> I found dozens of bugs by just taking a large preprocessed C++ file, deleting a few lines, and then when finding a segfault, reducing by deleting lines and tokens until I reached a minimal example of the same error

To run with this idea: this process could be automated, and applied to any number of different compilers.

Out of curiosity, did these bugs tend to be things like buffer-overflows? How many of the bugs you reported do you think would have been avoided had the compiler been written in a 'safe' language rather than C++?
I'm working on something similar but it's still a work in progress. And it's not quite point a domain to it and your done type setup just yet. It takes advantage of mailgun and uses webhooks rather than hosting an email server yourself. https://github.com/haydenwoodhead/burner.kiwi
Fantastic idea. Last month I've been thinking of creating a list of tech videos shorter than 15 minutes (so it will be only 10 minutes when I play with 1.5 speed) as (from my point of view) it would be easy to watch in a break or commute without losing the attention span :)
If you can add this feature in the filters (filter by duration) it would be great!

An example would be:
<10 minutes
<20 minutes
<30 minutes

Youtube does not have this feature rather they only have short (<4 minutes) and long (>20 minutes)
$50k doesn't go far. Other countries have taxpayer funded healthcare (easily worth $10k per year), 1 year maternity and paternity leave, 6 weeks of vacation, and stronger employee protections (so that you actually are working 40 hours a week).

* It's not a necessity in a modern world. You can just choose to receive as good proteins other ways.

* Carbon footprint of the animal products is significant. It's roughly equal to cars.

* Question about animal suffering and treatment in when eating mass produced meat. Cheap meat comes from mistreating animals. Equating human cognition with the consciousness that is able to suffer does not seem like solid argument. There is 'naturalness' argument but it's not solid moral argument.

* Meat versus 'meat'. On the other hand it's ecologically good to eat highly processed meat (as much of the animal is used as possible) including pink slime, sinew and chicken skin that most people eat as meat, but on the other had it's not exactly meat.

* Proud carnivores realize that they are actually scavengers at the meat market. Hunters and fishers may reduce their meat eating because they prefer to actually eat things they catch themselves. There is no social status in eating meat as it used to be.
> I have never had such a pleasant bug-reporting experience. Within a day of reporting a new bug, somebody [...] would run the test case and mark the bug as confirmed as well as bisect it using their huge library of precompiled gcc binaries to find the exact revision where the bug was introduced.

That's a really cool setup. Precompiled binaries to quickly git bisect a change.

How often did you run into not being able to use git bisect because you encountered problems due to code changes that were unrelated to the bug you were hunting?

Quickly being able to reproduce and find the commit for a bug is tremendously useful.
Ghost Recon Wildlands has been my favorite game to fire up and relax with for a long while. The Open World is massive and dense without feeling overcrowded. Esp. playing as squad with friends is fun, even if all you do is fly around in a helicopter and find bases to clear out (my personal challenge is to clear a base without raising alarm once, which I managed 6 out of 8 times). I also positively love how free the mission setup is.

I would wish that OW-games would be more like Wildlands.

https://awesometalks.party is a million times better than this site

https://awesometalks.party is great if you want talks about web-related topics, but there isn't much else (eg there are no talks on C++ or Java, or modern game development, or big data, etc there..). There's definitely room for another dev talks website that covers more subjects.
When the syntax is invalid, you should get an error saying that the syntax is invalid. Not a compiler crash and definitely not a segfault.
> Before smart phones it was different.

Not for me. Crippling social anxiety means that anyone unknown talking to me causes panic. Especially on a bus in London which are reknowned for their, uh, "colourful" characters who may well be a harmless eccentric but could equally well be Stabby McStabberson or Robber McFeralYoot.
There is a strange yet important issue with some people who will never advance to Exec level due to childhood experiences with abuse. Extremely serious trauma could be detected by Hogan tests that are used by many companies for Exec candidates. Such Trauma would make people break down in stressful situations.
Ghost Recon is IMO the best "skin" of those four. Although they look somewhat samey, they are very different games (though I would lump Watch Dogs under "Scifi AssCreed").

Far Cry is a bit of a mixed bag, 3 was fun, 4 wasn't, I'm looking at 5 because it looks fun too.
I did take a look at Nomad in an attempt convince someone who was "scared" of the complexity of Kubernetes would bring to our setup.

Unfortunately nice features like "Resource quotas per node" are not available in the open source version, this made Nomad a no-go.
The nobel peace prize has a long and sordid history of bad winners and horrifying nominees (but to be fair, the problem is more that those people were actually popular in intellectual circles at the time, the committee is simply part of that).

At least "that guy" only got to nominee.

Besides I wonder why the reporting on this conflict is so incredibly one sided. There are 2 major "details" being ommitted:

1) muslim ethnic cleansing of buddhists (including group rapes), and the declaration by militant groups that they were going to do it to the entire country is what started this.

2) muslim ethnic cleansing of buddhists in the neighboring country of Bangladesh.

Both of these are at least closely related to the current conflict, and zero attention goes to them.

Minimizing testcases can (and should!) be automated.

For C(-like) code, there's venerable Delta (http://delta.tigris.org/) and more powerful C-Reduce (https://embed.cs.utah.edu/creduce/).

For binary formats, there's afl-tmin, part of AFL (http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/afl/).
This is pretty eye-opening... If they intended to charge for extensions with functionality like that, there's no way they can compete with Kubernetes -- it has way more development happening, and features like that are already baked in to the platform...

I don't know where nomad could compete to generate income, but it definitely wasn't there...
China is leading the way here. Although, I would personally estimate from observation that in Shenzhen the amount of monowheels visible on the streets perhaps peaked last year and is now dropping. They have been largely supplanted by the stand-on two-footpad type (very popular with kids) and the scooter (adults).
I still can understand the dislike HN has for this wonderful book.

I was using a similar solution but probably quite different than the parent. I first generated the list of entries using Tinyproxy (turned out it was much easier than inspecting local DNS cache): you install Tinyproxy somewhere and use it for a few days. Then take the log and cut the lines:

CONNECT Sep 08 08:29:04 [18050]: Connect (file descriptor 6): DOMAIN [IP]

So basically you almost have your hosts file ready, you just need to switch places of the DOMAIN and IP, cutting out all before and the brackets. A minute or so.

I used it for a short time and never bothered to take care of the updates though. I guess I'd have to temporarily disable the hosts file and run an async DNS resolver such as adnshost:

adnshost -Vq +Dt

- filtering out the INET string to create a diff. It seems to much hassle to me though, to manually inspect DNS changes - I have so many things to do, I see no much reason to bother with every IP change on the Internet.
How would someone living in the dark ages look for intelligent life if they can't imagine the existence of wireless communications beyond a mythical transference of thoughts from human to human. Most of this is theoretical, but all it proves is our lack of understanding is still ever present, and we're all still just a bunch of ignorant fools trying to make sense of it all. I think we should just focus our energy into bigger things, and allow the technological breakthroughs as they will come with time. We just have to put our focus on bigger better & more interesting pursuits and stop blowing people up. Stop destroying civilizations, and start to accept civilizations as they exist. The more we destroy ourselves the harder it becomes for us to overall advance enough people to create the ever necessary brain trust of the planet to build these new sophisticated technologies to maybe one day find a way to decode what was once maybe thought non-existent. Maybe neutrinos are already used to communicate from light-years away, we just don't have enough advanced technology to decode it. We're not there yet, maybe we need fusion technology before other technology makes more sense to us, maybe fusion technology is what brings us to insane speeds in space that we cannot replicate currently since we haven't mastered it yet.

Once again, we argue about the unknown, and only create factions of people hating on others who don't realize they're just ignorant.
Also, less than 5% of the universe is observable to us. The rest we're calling "dark matter" and "dark energy" because we have no idea what it is. There's a lot we don't know that billion-year-old civilizations may have figured out to use.

They are still not cost efficient when compared to traditional hard disks, so they are usually used for intent logging and de-staging to conventional disks. The pricing is nowhere near competitive in USD/GB or in total capacity for SSD’s to replace conventional disk-based storage.
ebay seller protection is pointless either way as the decisions are arbitrary. The receipt offers you protection as in if you have to take the buyer to small claims court or defend yourself then you are covered for transfer of goods. If you're a private seller, selling items under $20/£25 it's not worth arguing. Unless you're selling volume, don't even sell the items just throw them away or give them to someone.

Also run a mule bank account. All money in and out goes through an empty account which you transfer in and out of paypal. Never link a card to it. No arbitrary charges or refunds can be taken then.

If ebay have a problem with you they can come to your door and do it via official legal paths. They usually hire a debt collector here in the UK who will fuck off instantly if you file an SAR with them and ask for court documents (I had a run in with them a few years back after they didn't receive a fees payment I made due to a system problem)

But honestly there are so few problems out there really.
Yeah if the weight isn’t excessive it be great for mobility, looks like it could also manage a stair mode with all those actuators.
Actually, many of the bugs were asserts triggering (segfault isn't quite right). In the case of C++, there are just so many weird states the compiler can find itself in, particularly in the case of clang which tries hard to produce good errors, so keeps parsing even after an error has been found.
That's because not enough people have submitted good talks about other topics yet! If you know any, click the "Add a talk" button in the top right and suggest them!
I was too. If you list it as "spares/repair only because no returns on XYZ" then it doesn't affect final value. I use this when selling vintage equipment because while fit for purpose at the point of sale it could blow up a week down the line with a new issue (as any second hand goods) or the buyer could meddle with it neither of which is my problem.
Those were the days indeed.

Sorry, you've misinterpreted this.

It's rational and correct to tackle underlying causes of inequality. You're correct that the only thing that can be done is to deal with the situation you find yourself it; you're wrong that you "can’t control how unfair the world is". The world will remain unfair unless we all try to fix that situation – and drawing attention to is one of the steps required.

Everybody has responsibility for themselves. But that's not an excuse to shut people down for complaining about inequality.

I like this approach, but I don't think I like the answer.

If Earth 2 has been producing noise for 200 years, that gives us an upper bound of 200 light years. However – for general terrestrial traffic – our detection range is only about 1 light year [1].

There are also no stars within that distance from Earth 1. So, at current levels of technology, Earth 2 would have to be a sad star-less frozen ball that just happens to drift into our neighbourhood within the appropriate 1 light year window on its eons-long journey.

Given that, I think we got the best deal here on Earth 1.

There's good reason why the term Asian seems to misplaced - it used to called oriental before it became politically incorrect and people weren't left with a good term to use. Asian became the default despite it not being a perfect fit for the outgoing term.

I'd say you are wrong. Where are you looking? For instance in India a lot of people mainly eat vegetarian, but that has always been the case. In the west outside of the well off left wing most people eat more meat than ever. Look at fast food and cheap restaurants which most (esp poorer people) aspire to eat. Breakfasts are often meat heavy and McDonald's, KFC, etc etc are mainly churning out cheap low quality meat products. Personally, it's the more well off and better educated people I know who are reducing the meat in their diet and thinking about food sourcing.

This is a harmful way of thinking, unfortunately on the rise lately. Ostensibly to promote fairness and diversity, it encourages us to think more about arbitrary racial categories, hereditary traits, disabilities, etc. Those things about people we were starting to consider less and less significant, we are being encouraged instead to be hyper-aware of.

Whoever decides the categories has the power to decide whether your organization is compliant. For example, suppose by a miracle that your organization is "correctly diverse" with regard to some set of blessed ethnic groups, hereditary traits, disabilities, etc. Well, your organization is almost certainly not compliant with regard to the left-handed, those who can roll their tongues, those with connected earlobes, those with flat feet, etc. Maybe you have the "correct" number of black people, but do you have the correct number of gay black people? Do you have the correct number of gay black women? How do you feel about sexual orientation or autism being blessed categories, but not, say, albinism, hyperhidrosis, or Marfan syndrome?

As a practical matter, how do you suppose someone would show that they were, say, partly descended from Native Americans? Certificate from a genetics testing lab? Are we going to carry cards in our wallets?

That's not the future I want. Your body is not the important part of you. The important part of you is your mind. I won't help build a hyper-body-focused society.

In the future I envision, nobody cares about anybody's supposed ethnicity. Nobody keeps spreadsheets about it. Nobody specifically considers body attributes during college admissions, or hiring decisions, or really, ever, because it's just not important. Let's not support any efforts to make these things more important.

> This is why I, as most sellers, do only fixed-price listings anymore.

This.

I regularly buy on eBay and decided to sell a number of old hand tools. I have sold before, but not for a while. I put the the first tool as an auction to get the hang again, then waited 10 days for something to happen. During that time I purchased several items using buy it now and realised that I now AVOID auctions unless the items is particularly rare or special.

The BIN selling options interface seems to vary significantly depending on how you crate the listing: starting on somebody else's items and clicking "sell one like this" or creating a new listing from scratch, for instance.

But, yeah, I'm converted to Buy It Now as a buyer and a seller.
