But then again, being in Australia, and most business being done in the US, Europe and Asia, you’re not going to memorise all the time zones.
Think about the metaphor you've made. In it, citizens are the "children" and need it's parents (government) to restrict their freedoms since they are not able to decide for themselves what is in their best interests.

It's not about wanting to be like a child who spends all their allowance on ice cream. It's about wanting to be an adult who is free to decide what is in their best interests for themselves.
Nice to see this getting some traction.

To give a bit more context: this is a C/C++ obfuscator I have built for my BSc Computer Science dissertation. It's built on the clang parser and while it doesn't implement any fancy obfuscations right now, it does offer a solid base for further obfuscations to be implemented. I figured I would submit it here to see what you guys think of it and to figure out whether I should pursue developing it further.

For those interested in the details, I have uploaded my dissertation here: https://picheta.me/c_cpp_obfuscator.pdf.
If you think that raising taxes for UBI will result in the politicians actually allocating the money to UBI.... then you just need to look at how current monies are raised and spent.

Here's what will happen:

- taxes raised for "insert acronym of flavor here" (UBI)

- 95% allocated to every citizen, permanent resident, legal immigrant, illegal migrant, etc.

- Over time they will decrease the allocation relative to the amount they collect.

Next thing you know, "UBI" is just another line item on your paycheck deductions just like "EI" and "CPP" is a deduction in Canada for "Employment Insurance" and "Canada Pension Plan".

Neither of which will actually solve the problem because that was not the (hidden) goal to begin with.

There will be just as much, if not more poverty because:

- smart, hardworking people will leave the country because they are tired of getting abused with excessive taxes.... draining productivity

- poorest people will take on brutal loans for things they do not need (lottery, drugs, cars, shiny clothes)

- poorest people will become lethargic. "Free" unearned income is poison to ambition and creativity.

- "Free" income is not Free because it is given based on an inflating money supply. It means your children or grandchildren will be paying it via hidden tax of inflation and effectively sold into debt slavery.

We are watching the final stages take place where the communist revolution will be complete. As it stands, the USA is heavily socialist and stopped being capitalistic once they seized control of the economy in 1913 and began central planning via fiat money printing and manipulating interest rates.

Plan accordingly over the next 5-20 years

> In a few years, hopefully everyone will be on a DPI that can render nice text.

My 1x monitor can render text just fine using sub-pixel AA. It's a proven technique that has been around for ages and the text looks great on it.

> consider complex glyphs like Hanzi and Kanji, which really don't get enough mileage out of subpixel AA really.

If I start to become a heavy user of Hanzi and Kanji then I will consider purchasing a monitor that displays it better, but currently not an issue.

Requiring me to spend money on new hardware in order to avoid a regression in my experience is somehow doing me a favour? Really?

> so they don't stand to gain that much here other than software performance.

I don't understand the performance argument people keep bringing up. Subpixel AA has been around for ages and worked fine on much older hardware. Why is it suddenly a bottleneck that needs to be removed when my decade old hardware can still do it?
I have used Splunk in the past on-prem. They are expensive and to your point and a lot of capability that wasn’t used. We had investigated Gray Log, Fluentd, Logstash and others. If we started now, I’d say the ELK stack (Elasticseach, Logstash, Kibana) would be what we’d have gone with.

Wikipedia explanation of Neutral Theory: "most evolutionary changes and most of the variation within and between species is not caused by natural selection but by genetic drift of mutant alleles that are neutral. A neutral mutation is one that does not affect an organism's ability to survive and reproduce. The neutral theory allows for the possibility that most mutations are deleterious, but holds that because these are rapidly removed by natural selection, they do not make significant contributions to variation within and between species at the molecular level. Mutations that are not deleterious are assumed to be mostly neutral rather than beneficial. In addition to assuming the primacy of neutral mutations, the theory also assumes that the fate of neutral mutations is determined by the sampling processes described by specific models of random genetic drift."

My experience has been that the most important consideration in a project management tool is simplicity and ease of use, which is why I find Github's issue tracking with threads + tags + milestones to be the gold standard. If you need private hosting you can use GitLab/Gogs/Gitea.

If I read that correctly the data is still on the NIC. The CPU receives an interrupt - notifying it of a new packet, which it then decides to drop? Thus the CPU is the one dropping packets, but the data (most of it at least) is still on the NIC.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.
You seem to have missed the blatant self-promotion opportunity here. Link?
Why do you say that thunks are "the cause of complicated and ugly code" ?

I'm a Redux maintainer, and I recommend thunks as the default choice for async logic. Most people just need to make some AJAX calls and dispatch an action when it returns, or maybe grab a value from the store state and work with it. Thunks are perfect for that kind of use case - complex synchronous logic, and simple async. In fact, with `async/await` syntax, I would be a bit more comfortable doing somewhat more complicated async logic in a thunk as well.

I wrote a post a while back discussing some common objections to using thunks (and sagas), and why I feel thunks and sagas are still good choices for handling logic in Redux apps: https://blog.isquaredsoftware.com/2017/01/idiomatic-redux-th...

That said, yes, you should always feel free to write custom middleware to solve your own use cases.

Thank you for the link, it is very interesting. Having read the Wikipedia article, I think that metonym here is a bit too heavyweight for the simple thing expressed in the comment.

Edit: personally I value simple and precise language. Constructs such as those mentioned in the Wikipedia article may convey similar meaning but the fact that they exist means that they allow for some variation in meaning and color which is unnecessary in this case.

Completely disagree, that was a very awkward sentence, and read better as 'their' or even 'the' in that particular case.

I don't know of any examples. I was hoping you did.
App reviews aren't really empirical. People write reviews for things they don't like much much more than for things which they're fine with.

If I really really hate an update, I don't spend more than a minute transitioning. I just look at the "Apps like this tab". Another feature that is not there natively in Windows/Linux and requires third parties to make subpar lists.

If new software was really so terrible, people would be abandoning apps, not complaining about them which is what happened with Linux and to a lesser extent, Windows.
Are there any practical examples of this theory?
I just read a great book about seasteading:

https://www.amazon.com/Seasteading-Floating-Environment-Libe...

It will be expensive at first but long-term, the social, economic, and environmental benefits could be enormous. It's not just about one little island.

Socially, the idea isn't so much to promote one particular ideology, but to allow experimentation with lots of different economic and governmental structures, in an environment where people can easily move to the ones that work the best. The book points out that similar conditions brought us the advances of ancient Greece and renaissance Italy.

Aquaculture on the open seas looks very attractive; the economics work out well and it's great for the environment. And small island nations with good access to shipping and lots of economic freedom have tended to do very well in general.
I just want to mention that seafaring is the closest we can get to libertarian lifestyle. Even when due to the flag of your ship you are bound to a nation somehow, yet there is much more freedom than anywhere else. For example, your ship can be build entirely up to your standards and wishes, while a car or airplane is regulated down to the smallest part.

You can't turn off IPv4 yet without losing 3/4 of the relevant internet. Just try it. It is easy on macOS, when you have native IPv6. But you won't be able to report your findings here, for starters.

Your link doesn't address full collective ownership, you just talk about the group of people that band together to buy a machine. In a country where we're unwilling to invest in basic maintenance of our critical infrastructure, how would you keep the machines from falling apart? What happens to the ownership of local machines when someone moves? How do you ensure that a broken machine doesn't impoverish a community?

More importantly, how does your solution of inventing a new machine to solve poverty help anyone in the decades before we're able to build it? What's the backup plan if you're wrong about the feasibility of this machine?

You seem to be trying to get rid of economics by solving scarcity rather than come up with solutions to economic problems.
Flash storage might be the highest-margin component sold by Apple, so there's a conflict of interest with filesystem features that reduce the need for storage.

This was fun and kind of addictive. Only right now it seems to be giving letters between "R" and "U" in the alphabet more than 50% of the time. That's very challenging.
We have a container basics article [1] that provides a quick overview of Linux containers including differences between LXC and Docker containers.

Linux containers are made possible by the addition of Linux namespaces to the kernel in 2.6. A namespace allows you to launch an isolated process. There are 6 main namespaces including a network namespace and container managers basically launch the container process in a new namespace.

LXC is a userland container manager in development since 2008. Docker was initially based on LXC in 2013 and later developed their own container manager in Go.

LXC launches an OS init in the namespace so you get a standard multi process OS environment like a VM. Docker launches the application process directly so you get a single process container. Docker also uses layers to build containers and has ephemeral storage.

So LXC containers behave more or less like lightweight VMs. Docker is doing a few more things that need to be understood.

For the same reason, I have made my peace with house centipedes. My friends object that the way they move is horrifyingly creepy. I can't disagree; they are speedy little undulating aliens. But I'd rather have one of them scuttering around than silverfish eating my books. I actually rescued a centipede that had gotten trapped in my kitchen sink the other week.
A team I was on in the past had a well known bottleneck for performance on the most performance critical component. It was one that couldn't possibly be avoided or minimised. It was one called with high frequency, and wall clock wise, didn't take too long.

"JNI is slow", being the conventional wisdom, and knowing just how frequent the calls would be, people had ignored it as an option.

Randomly one of the devs who was most bothered by the bottleneck, had an hour spare and threw the conventional wisdom out the window and dropped in JNI calls to an standard (highly optimised) library and re-benchmarked. 40% performance boost. Further experiments found that "JNI is slow" isn't as true as conventional wisdom quite had it.

Seems like a further shift from user friendliness towards consumer friendliness. That is, alienating core and power user in favour of larger consumer masses.
This is the system that I have developed through the years, it's simple, kind of low-tech, but it works:

- Meeting starts every Monday night, 5PM/end of business day
- Meeting ends when it ends. Usually 1-2 hours, but at times till midnight
- Only executives, one per department: so CEO, COO, CFO, SW Development, Marketing/Sales... no more than 5 max 7 people
- A google spreadheet
- Projects are ranked by importance: 1,2,3 and 4. 1 High, 2 medium, 3. low. 4 just placeholder for ideas
- Projects must have a completion date of 3 months or less. If longer they get broken down into <3 months chunks
- Weekly deliverables. All deliverables are due on Monday
- Each row is 1 project, then there are columns for Dependencies, Resources (people, money, things, outside contractors)
- If one of the deliverables is going to be late, or there's a chance it might be late, the executive has to notify the executive committee by email no later than end of business day on Thursday with a succinct explanation of what's going on and revised project deliverable etc.... The CEO is in charge of eventually clarify with the Executive or take any action. If no such email arrives, the deliverable is assumed to be on-time, on-target, and on-budget by the following Monday.
- Only the Executive is accountable. No blaming others.

The above was the original, these days I like to ADD to the above BASECAMP project management for any and all communications between anyone involved. Everything's public, from commitments to comments, if it's not in there, it didn't happen.
what makes you think they won't nuke those out of existence as soon as they become successful?
This all happens after the packet is transferred over PCIe to the CPU/memory (even the interrupt happens after DMA transfer). Otherwise the XDP code wouldn't have access to the packet to filter it; the example doesn't just drop all packets, it drops all packets matching a /24 subnet which happens to be all packets here ;)
The best thing about a sovereign seastead is how any properly equipped Real County(tm) will roll up in a boat and just blow it away. It’s like barbarian cities in Civ, essentially.
> sovereignty

Sovereignty, like other types of freedom, is entirely abstract unless you're referring to freedom to (or from) something specific. The freedom to set timezones to inconvenient values isn't a particularly valuable one.

The European ideal involves pooling of sovereignty, with the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. Just as within a nation sovereignty is pooled from the individual people comprising it.

(Well, within a modern democratic nation. The UK is a constitutional monarchy in which sovereignty is delegated to parliament by the monarch, and explictly not a country of popular sovereignty).

It is probably also worth looking at how the history of time has been defined by state and private action, such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railway_time . We're already ending up as a global civilisation that uses either UTC or UNIX timestamps "behind the scenes" everywhere out of sheer programmer convenience. Open the "network" panel in your browser and see which timezone was used to serve you this page?

> It's not a huge thing, but what is the benefit of each country randomly switching times, just for the sake of sovereignty.

It's not just for the sake of sovereignty. The article clearly gives a reason why Finland might want to but other countries might not. Your individual reasons may not apply to someone across the continent just as someone's US east coast reason may not apply to Arizona. That type of thinking ("why not", "just for the sake of sovereignty", "here's my anecdote", etc) is what causes this type of federalist mis-representation so far from the problems of locals.

Some people are from one US state and live in another. Despite your anecdote being only yours and ignoring the wishes of entire countries, I don't think it's even a valid point to centralize DST above the country level.
What's wrong about Boaty McBoatface? They should not have overruled that decision. People would probably be more engaged if their opinion was asked and respected more often, not like now where they sometimes get asked when it's convenient and often overruled anyway.

You also see that at the workplace. We often get asked by management how to do things better. Then people bring up proposals only to be ignored. No wonder people aren't engaged.

What do you mean? A low lying island is vulnerable to a possible tsunami, like an earthquake-generated one.

That's PR-speak. Translation "It works acceptably well for all pixel layouts, and it is easier for us to implement".
The article talks about the plan to rely heavily on aquaculture and greenhouses for food. Presumably if you’re not into that, you’re not the ideal resident.

Indeed, the current transformations implemented by my obfuscator aren't particularly sophisticated, at least in comparison to some of the obfuscator's I evaluated such as Tigress[1] which can transform your code into a JIT.

But for the use case that my dissertation supervisor had in mind it works very well (gravypod outlines this use case well[2]).

Most of the work in this project was the creation of the underlying architecture for parsing and transforming C and C++ code. Now that this is done, implementing more sophisticated transformations should be fairly trivial.

yeah I think I agree, we should look at potential negative use cases of new technology to society.

I just think that positioning it as Amazon or Google or whoever doing a bad thing is misdirection. OPs article even seems to end up coming to a conclusion of needing policy to keep this under control. Someone will supply it to law enforcement, so it’s use more than its supply should be regulated because it does have myriad positive use cases also.
I wish everyone would just use UTC for coordination. Then I wouldn't schedule my time around a meeting at "3PM GMT" only to discover that the Brit who scheduled it didn't know it was summertime.
Yeah, nothing worse than believers of "greed is good" who literally have no concern for society at large being told that their ideas are bad and that we don't care much for them.
> The freedom to set timezones to inconvenient values isn't a particularly valuable one.

Says who? There are tens of thousands of signatures and presumably a majority of an entire country that disagree. I don't think you should get to decide something subjective like the value of this (or what's considered inconvenient) over an entire country.
that's good to know! Then the difference shouldn't be that big on Retina displays.

I just compared on High Sierra and it's mostly that without subpixel AA types look thinner
I imagine subpixel AA is at least a bit trickier on phones and tablets because of device rotation.
Do something analog. Find something to do that is not with a computer until you get tired of that. Then build a balance chart, draw a circle, draw lines to quarter it, then lines between those. You should see a what looks like a wagon wheel. Each spoke is an aspect of your life. Label each spoke with the 8 important things in your life. This will show you the importance of keeping the spokes “8 things in balance. One spoke could be your job, another your side project, another your family, a hobby, social/friends, downtime, etc... the wheel represents you, giving to much time to a single spoke makes the wheel lopsided and it won’t turn. So as you devote your time to things, imagine which of the 8 is suffering and not getting your time. Try to devote equal time to each.

This is the best way I have found to get things done, and not get burned out/ or saying things like “my give a damn is busted.” It also gives you 7 other things to do when you feel like you do now. Then after you do one of the others see how you feel, go back to the one you didn’t feel like doing or do one of the other things until you feel like it.
