Under a traditional UBI system, most people won't get money from the goverment. A UBI as the libertarians described it is basically a negative income tax. If your job pays $20k/year and the UBI level is $10k/yr, for example, then you will not receive anything. However, if your job pays $5k/year, and the UBI is $10k/yr, you receive $5k a year.

Great. How was I supposed to know that just under a decade ago when I first installed that? And I'm a programmer; how is any end-user supposed to know that? Ubuntu is one of the Linux distributions that has a lot of name recognition outside the Linux desktop community; you would assume anything based on it would also be fine.

So while I know that now, it doesn't change the fact that the Linux desktop has a messaging problem. Is it fixable? I have no idea. But it's not now; so come back when it is.

> bunch of loosely coupled projects DOES seem to be the cause of it being able to be a lot of different things to a lot of different people example different window managers, compositors

And that's my problem with it. It's too configurable. If that's what you want, then use Linux. But if you want to do real work? Then people use Windows, or macOS, and maybe in the future, hopefully Haiku.

> than linux in practice insofar as buggy behavior

We already support "thousands of different types of computers". Not sure what you're going after here.

> while still definitely being objectively worse insofar as not being modular.

Our kernel is actually more modular than the Linux kernel is; and in theory you could swap out other components too. But that's beside the point. Why is modularity some great ideal that everything should strive towards? It may be great in theory, but is it so in practice?

Gender discrimination in tech industry
Share your thoughts if you could find gender discrimination in your industry like only a male could do this job and a female couldn't do it.

Do you really find the reasons on your faith is valid?
It's funny that a rip-off of 2015 MacBook Pro is hailed as better than the latest MacBook Pro, just because it didn't follow Apple's latest arrogant missteps.

Keeping non-squashed keyboard and USB-A is all that MacBooks needed to stay on top.
Of all the valid arguments for and against DST, I think "sovereignty" isn't one of them.
I just bought a second one to leave at work, I don't think it sucks at all.
> certainly no dignified person would expect another to either.

Um... what? The government quantifies exactly how much it will spend on social welfare programs each year. Simply dividing the budget out by the number of people enrolled (also available from the government) paints a very clear picture of how much 'civil dignity' is worth.
Yet it is the one solution proven scalable with every distro release that uses it.
>> Not too much coffee

Or more coffee/caffeine if you have add/adhd. If you can drink a pot of coffee before bed and then go right to sleep, then caffeine might do the opposite to your brain chemistry and level you out. Talk to your doctor, as that you might need something more than caffeine to function. Think of your brain in the aspect of a cpu, where as some cpu’s natural clock speed is a little slower than the average, some are faster and easily distracted. So you might need to adjust something to not burn out a days energy to fast, and feel like the poster does.

Running releases different chemical compounds that affect the brain, so does smoking, eating, drinking caffeine, etc... you could be deficient on vitamins and it could be diet.

Everyone is different, and it will take trial and error until you find a working balance. Which means talking to your doctor about how you are feeling and, also taking the time to self-reflect on how you are actually feeling every day to gauge what’s working and what’s not.
I’ll agree that that’s a crazy amount of data. I take issue with “...render just one frame.” Surely that data can be reused for multiple other frames.

My current company uses Clubhouse. (https://clubhouse.io/)

Clubhouse is Trello where each card can is synced with a git branch. As you add and push, the cards move automatically.

This helps me as a developer, because the business is always up to date with the latest progress and all I need to do is follow the company's git workflow.

To see the cards move when you raise or merge a PR is magical.

There are other features like collecting tickets together into an epic, sub projects and integrations with logging and deployment tools. If you are the manager and you implement this in your org, you dev team will love you.
Committing crimes is the basic activity of Libertarians. The point of getting rid of the rules is you want to do the things that are against the rules. If the other countries still have the rules then you have conflict. Especially considering one outcome of the Libertarian philosophy is pollution of air and water is to be prevented not by regulation but by the self-interest of the person who owns the air and water. If that person takes leave of their self-interest and starts dumping toxic waste into their personal water property, Libertarians have no solution to that pollution. And the neighbors are going to be mad.
‘[The performance of] the monitors will suffer’ is implicated here.
The point of joining a group is that all parties need to compromise. Not an expert in the issue, but article seems to imply that Finland is the only one in 28 member states which is really unhappy.

If everyone else doesn't mind removing DST, sure, whatever. But what if there are 8 countries which really don't?

BTW, Finland can just start ignoring this rule. Nothing will happen. Despite popular opinion, the EU can't impose shit on it's members if one truly doesn't want it.
I would argue that tribal leaders and mini governments form organically under systems with no or bare minimum government.

Make no mistake. Small Governments in somali fighting each other is the result of the initial establishment of minimal government. There was no grand plan of warring governments establishing checks and balances.

What chipset is that? I just merged new drivers for the Intel PRO wireless chipsets and Intel "Dual Band" chipsets; so if it's one of those it might work out of the box now.

Well, WebPositive can play YouTube and mostly works on major sites ... but yes, this is a difficult problem.
At least they got to choose. I only argue for the choice, not the value of the choice. Finland would likely be wise to keep with the rest of their time zone wrt DST, but I think as an entire country they can make that determination (or fix it if they were wrong) just like the Swiss.
I bought one two months ago as a secondary machine because my old Air died.
> Why don’t you also think that people who can’t get a job should be on their own?

Personally, I recognize that you need some level of money in order to take part in civic society. For example, it's hard to find a job without a mailing address, nice clothes, cosmetic products, and make up. It's also hard to put your time towards finding a job if you can't eat. Thus, in the interest of maximizing economic output and social engagement, we ought to provide enough money for people to be able to afford these things.

If you are able to afford these things, but still mess up... well, I mean, you have freely and without coercion chosen to disengage with society. To these people, I hope they are happy with their choice, but I struggle to see how they could be.
> One year, I hired 50 engineers. I couldn’t have done that in a high quality way without a system that let me interview about 500 candidates

How is this even physically possible? I don't mind interviewing usually but 2 or more a day, every single day, sounds like pure hell. Not to mention that after not touching any code for a whole year I'd be questioning your ability to be doing technical hires in the first place.

I'm very skeptical also that this ultra-standardised approach is getting anything like what I would call "top 10%" programmers. Top 10% of people who happen to do well in this particular interview setup, morelike. Teams I like to work for have a healthy mix of abilities, passions and experience. This sounds like a recipe for a room full of dull clones, none of whom have any knowledge outside a strictly specified little box. What next, psychometric screening?

I do agree with one point though - 3 people in the room is probably the right number.
I don't think you're "tech-literate", seems like you just drank the Kool-aid and sleep well at night.

You used the word "Theoretically" like it's something so remote that's almost impossible which is both dangerously and hilariously not true.
This wouldn't fix anything, because people would still have to convert UTC to their local time before agreeing to anything, and they'd make the same mistakes in that process ("Shit, are we +7 or +8 right now?")

> incapable of taking care of themselves, for example mental illness

On this point, I agree 100%, but UBI programs are not really focused on the mentally ill. As is, disability is a fraction of what we traditionally think of as welfare (and it's already neglected in our current society). Most welfare are food stamps, health services, etc, for people that would otherwise be perfectly capable on their own.

A UBI does not mean getting rid of programs for people that cannot actually help themselves like the severely disabled or foster children. It means not treating grown adults like children or wards of the state
It's annoying enough as it is within a single time zone. So yeah, getting rid of it has my vote.

How to Walk
I suspect it won’t be supported by Mojave. If so, it may be a moot point.
Then we'll find out during the process, and discuss what that means (which I suspect would mean "nothing changes", since changing things is harder than maintaining the status quo, and I think it's unlikely Finnland will care enough to want to be the only exception).
Why would it be devastated if it was designed for it in the first place? Why is it that you think tsunamis destroy every country they hit? French Polynesia has actually been hit by tsunamis before, you just don't hear about it because it isn't eventful.

Also Puerto Rico was hit by a strong hurricane, not a tsunami. It was also already 100 Billion dollars in debt and had recently defaulted.

Also how do you think neighborhoods of 300 houses already deal with natural disasters? Do you think their only option is to rely on aid from a 'nation state'? They get insurance.

It may be a far out idea with many problems that would have to be accounted for but lets use our very best judgement.

I am not rich, but I can imagine living in such city and enjoying it. Amount of $60M, or even $120M doesn't sound something that should be hard to collect.

I imagine this being organized like Singapore, but looks like Dubai. I also don't think it is enough to just plop it somewhere, there should be thought on how it will function, what are benefits. Can it be place where superstars go to relax for example. Selling them 2M homes would be easy. It can be place for startups and conferences. I feel like more thought should be placed into this.

I think crypto makes sense for such project, but obviously potential for abuse are huge.

Obviously, one tsunami and this thing can be in serious trouble.

Again, given a chance to live there, or at least to spend some time and work and live there, I would take the chance.
It depends on how you taxonomize terms. Negative Income Tax (which is what Friedman supports) is a type of UBI. As I've said elsewhere in this chain, the policies being proposed today are not really what the libertarians had in mind, since they co-exist with other forms of welfare, which libertarians would be wholeheartedly against. That being said, it's not surprising why the economist would run a story on this... it is still a libertarian idea.

Also, the comment quoted above was made by me... the same guy you responded to, ha! :)
Concur in the general sense. I think DST effects are different enough geographically to delegate to at least the country level though. That the point of a trade union is to standardize things does not mean it needs to standardize everything.
Unfortunately Selinux can interfere with processes in weird ways without clear messages to end users. When a container starts networking devices are created, if using layers or btrfs/zfs overlays or snapshots may be created, bind mounts activated. There is a lot of potential for permission issues.

Similarly when creating overlay networks ports across systems need to be open. The idea behind this is users can ensure the functionality is working as desired before enabling firewalls and other security features so they can debug issues effectively.

We have tried to provide a lot of documentation so new users can get started and get comfortable with containers and networking. Often users get discouraged if even after following the docs they run into issues.
Is there a guide like this that uses Golang instead of C?
Some context: During a panel on production renderers at SIGGRAPH [0] it was mentioned that most rendering research was not really usable for production rendering, as those algorithms are unable to handle the complexity of production scenes. Matt Pharr (one of the authors of pbrt [1]) asked the panelists to release production datasets for research purposes. Walt Disney Animation Studios is now following up on his request by releasing these two datasets. Yining Karl Li of Disney [2] and the readme for the Moana dataset [3] have some more info.

It's absolutely amazing that Disney is doing this, especially as the license is quite permissive and also allows the usage for non-research purposes.

rafts don't actually have good access to shipping, docking two ships at sea is an entirely different proposition than a deep water harbor.

Hi! I recently built Forevermore with my husband.

It's a decentralized app that writes your vows to a marriage ‘smart contract’ on the blockchain. Once written, your vows are replicated to 16,000+ nodes on the Ethereum network. Your words are immutably committed to the blockchain - no one can edit or delete them.

There’s also a neat trick that allows friends and family to send ether into your marriage contract by ringing the wedding bell. You’ll be able to later withdraw the ether to the wallet you used to create the contract.

I'll be cleaning up the codebase and hope to open-source the code (no ICO's involved in the making). Would love your feedback HN community!!
This is misinterpreting the argument. Sovereignty isn't used as an argument for or against DST. Wildly differing daylight hours is used to argue for or against DST, sovereignty just keeps those with these large differences from imposing on one another.
Libertarianism can be a pretty big tent, lots of room for different opinions about what's minimal and what to keep or jettison. Sticking with the Peter Theil-ish variety, having enough government to preserve personal property rights is still a giant step apart from anarchy.
A store is open from 08:00. You have the first shift as a cashier. How would flex-time work in that situation?
Used many of them. None really worked well.

As a PM, my main focus is just to get people to update what they're doing and trying to assign, distribute, negotiate, and see tasks and dependencies that need to be done.

Asana - Amazingly good in the first few versions. But it started getting slow as they added more features. Back then I would use it even for trivial things like bug tracking, because the keys and controls were so intuitive.

Google Docs/Sheets - It does the job. It's got history and versioning. Low learning curve. It's very powerful at searching (you can link to a document and it will search the linked document as well). Sheets is mildly programmable.

It's missing some tricks like tagging people and tracking who is assigned to what, attaching files, and has a limited comment system. You can't really subtask, map dependencies, or do burndown charts with it.

Jira - Hated it. Its core purpose seems to be covering asses. It makes a PM look extremely productive. It makes late night and remote workers look productive. It logs what people are doing and logs issues and dependencies. Extremely useful for people who have agile contracts for another company. But actually managing people seems to be the lowest priority of the tool.

Pivotal Tracker - Lots of potential. If you're using full Agile, this is probably the best. It's probably too heavy if you have a team of two, but even then it works. I think the Epics handling is a little messy, but it's much better than the others.

Trello - good for assigning tasks to a group. Too light for managing a pipeline from design to dev to testing to approval. At some point, it acts like email, where people get too many messages and ignore a lot of them.

I'm considering experimenting more with Google Sheets and maybe even group Evernotes. The others are a bit too clumsy.
It's not like tech debt has no cost. This is engineering effort that can be spent in other places; it's lots of other tasks that become easier because this complication doesn't need to be supported. It's reasonable to argue that'll turn into real benefits in the software in other ways.
Yeah, I personally don't love Papoulis. But it has been regarded as the standard stochastic processes text.
Thanks for your comments everyone. I'm one of the authors of this paper and the co-founder and CEO of the company, Stateless. We graduated from techstars Boulder in 2017.

ben509 comment about our name makes sense. The network functions still using the state, we just decoupled it into a separate location to achieve elasticity and high resiliency. We just liked the name since its short and made us unique to some degree.

Our platform developed way beyond what you see in the paper. It is developed now into a microservice architecture using zookeeper and masos to handle state decoupling and other aspects in a much scalable and robust fashion.

As for RAMCloud, it is very interesting but the challenge that it is not robust enough so we had to hack into its code to make it more stable. But yea it is so fast.

The key insight seems to be that chasing residuals (for MSE) or sign vectors (for MAE) is chasing a vector (ie direction not just magnitude) and that vector is also a gradient. So chasing residual is performing gradient descent.
OS packaging is the simplest of them all and ideal for large scale configuration management. As another person mentioned, that is the proven technology that has consistently provided the best results over the last 40 years. That’s why I’m completely baffled by these irrational, massive, complex efforts to avoid mastering OS packaging. It’s a joy to build one’s own packages and for the OS to recognize them!

Important note, DPDK and VPP are not faster by the virtue of being based in userspace. It is best to say that they just provide fastest way in between interrupt handler, and the piece of userspace code. The application will then have to reimplement most of the network stack functions that run in kernel in itself. The speedup is there because the application author can freely slim down the network stack to minimal. Secondly to that DPDK took some deliberation on better driver buffer management, ensuring zero copy path, interrupt and syscall efficiency.
