It feels weird jumping to someone's defense here, but it's been equally weird watching so many people completely mischaracterize what the grandparent (great-grandparent, I think?) comment said:

S/he is not the one asking for help. He is the one being asked for help. Their attention and focus is the one being interrupted (or at least that's what their first comment said, that they receive numerous requests from help from someone who sits directly behind them via chat). And on that note, I actually find myself taking his or her side on this. They are being asked for help by someone who sits close enough away that they can quickly provide an answer verbally and return to their chores/duties.

That seems more efficient than hammering at the keyboard given the recipient can very likely hear the sound of one's voice with the response to the inquiry for assistance.

Why are so many comments to this problem being presented as if this person is the one who needs their behavior rectified, when they are not the source of the interruption, but the recipient of?

Hear hear!

Terminal escapes... you know what, they may seem ridiculous, but they work with a read/write API instead of an ioctl API, and that makes all the difference. And they work with serial ports and terminals. From day 1 terminals were read/write-oriented, not ioctl-oriented, and the concept of escapes originates with the terminal vendors, not with Unix.

Regarding command-line parsing, there are ways to move to a Unix-style argument array in a way that is backwards-compatible. It could just be an attribute of the executable to exec(), that it wants a proper argument vector. Shell escaping in Windows is just not-sane.
Nice setup. I run all my games from a separate partition with its own copy of Windows, but your way is even better. I’m not looking forward to the world where we need a separate machine for each piece of software in order to ensure privacy, but sadly we are heading there.

When people living in the jurisdiction who elected that government will have enough, the government will shut down, block, or heavily regulate these networks. The internet is global, they can’t prosecute users.

When that will happen, it will become the network's problem.

Even if the networks themselves don’t feel any moral responsibility for that real harm, it’s in their best interest to do something.

Major resolvers do DNSSEC validation. The real problem is the very low number of zones that are actually signed.

Which shouldn't be an excuse for not doing DNSSEC validation if only because your own zones can be signed. You know, the ones you will be constantly ssh'ing to, and blindly accept new ssh server keys from because hey, it's your zone and you trust it.

It's perfectly okay to not like being around people, especially people with obnoxious behaviors (whether they are because of a mental illness or otherwise) or people that smell bad.

Yes, there is. It all shows that exercise is moderately better than nothing as a treatment for depression, unless you only include good quality trials in which case the effectiveness drops off.

And is your argument that driving for Uber is de facto slavery?
It's pretty common to see this with games from Firaxis (the developers of the Civ series). They tend to design each new title around a couple of Big Ideas, but they don't fully shake out the ramifications of those ideas during development. Instead, they put the game into the hands of players and then listen to them to figure out what's working and what isn't. Then they release a big expansion pack a year or two down the road that fixes the things that didn't work. Civ 4 wasn't really "complete" until the release of the Beyond the Sword expansion; Civ 5 wasn't until the Brave New World expansion; XCOM 2 until the War of the Chosen expansion; and so on.

As a result, it's not unusual for people to vocally prefer an older, already-expanded Firaxis title to its newer, still rough-around-the-edges successor at the successor's initial release. Lots of people strongly preferred Civ 4 over Civ 5 for years, until Firaxis fixed the big complaints they had with the latter.

I expect at some point we'll see expansions to Civ 6 that address the major issues people have with it now, and then Civ 7 will come out and we'll all have to listen to people longing for the good old days of Civ 6 for a year or two.

>An argument may be that they were enticed with higher rates that were subsequently lowered in some markets. There's also the argument that a lot of the drivers don't under the total costs involved (double payroll tax, depreciation, etc) but by itself offering work in the "gig economy" isn't exploitation. Uber (and Lyft, and ...) should be lauded for (net) creating thousands of jobs.

Something tells me you’re not very familiar with the history of Uber’s business practices.

It’s pretty easy to “create jobs” when you can move into jurisdictions and skirt the local laws.

In some cases, for example Pensacola Florida (where ride sharing was criminal), Uber solicited drivers from other counties where ride sharing was legal, with bonuses, to provide services in Pensacola during spring break. One of those drivers was arrested almost immediately.

In counties throughout Florida where ride sharing was illegal (civilly and criminally) Uber drivers racked up millions in fines that have never been paid. Why? Because Uber paid for their own lobbiest (who is a lawyer) to represent the drivers in court and then literally did nothing on their case and just let them linger. This is all beneficial to Uber and damaging to drivers.

Not to mention other issues such as Uber training driver in these jurisdictions on how to avoid detection by police.

One day someone might put together a study of the total numbers of drivers who now have criminal records for nothing more that becoming an Uber driver...when you get a criminal record for doing what you were hired to do, that should fit the very definition of exploitation.
> As the father of a child born outside marriage is not legally recognised, the marriage rate of parents is close to 100%.

I think this is referring to the "recognition" process, where if a kid is born out of marriage, the parents have to recognize it as their own to have the full legal attachments.

This means for instance that a father can refuse to recognize a kid, and won't have any legal obligation if no action is taken by the mother or the kid. Technically it's the same for the mother, but most of the time she has to recognize the kid for obvious reasons.

Article's statement should be qualified, as parents can voluntarily recognize their child (this will happen for normal non wed parents), or be forced to do so by the family (they needs to go through legal procedures though). Marriage doesn't matter that much in this case, it's just easier socialy speaking.

On some level, readability is a subjective thing. So is expressiveness and general feel for a language. It's about aesthetics and reasonable people can disagree about language and API design choices. We're making our choices and we hope that a good number of people come to agree with them. However, part of the engine design is to decouple the language from the actual execution. The engine takes a DAG represented as a JSON object. We'll have parsers that create that DAG from Flux or from other languages like PromQL or anything that people might think of.

But the optimization function is wrong here. It's not about how much uninterrupted work I get done. It's whether or not the product ships, and that's a function of how much work the team gets done. So if a teammate is stuck, interrupting me with a question can get them unstuck faster than if they struggled with it for 20-30 mins or more.

I think that valuing your uninterrupted time over the team and the product shipping is the truly selfish mindset.

> A crowd of 600 drivers gathered outside the Uber office in Long Island City, Queens, to protest a 15 percent reduction in fares last month, which also means 15 percent lower wages. That pay cut is on top of Uber’s 20 percent slashing of fares in 2014. All things being equal, drivers who began less than two years ago have seen their pay tumble a whopping 35 percent.

Obviously the alternatives have to be worse in order for exploitive business models to thrive. If there were better options, people wouldn't allow themselves to be exploited. This still doesn't justify running a business on exploitation and it definitely doesn't turn the practice into some sort of charitable good.

Seems penalizing the student is the wrong way to go, rather I'd penalize the institution: e.g. if the institutions has a low graduation rate, and low post-graduation salaries that would be expensive, high graduation rate coupled with high post graduation salaries would garner a lower rate...
For freestyle (front crawl), it's more of a scissor kick. Your whole body turns with you so it's really easy to touch the sole of the foot heading toward the bottom of the pool. When someone is doing something like breaststroke, they're doing a frog kick which is generally going out and away from the body and then pulling the legs in, you just time it so you touch their feet when they pull their legs in.

> My gut says to err on the side of not imposing restrictions or mandates until we figure out the right balance.

The biggest problem with this approach is that it's often used to delay action until it's well beyond the point where it becomes necessary. It's very similar to the 'Well, we just don't know, and we need to do research' approach that tobacco companies used, very successfully, for decades in the arguments about whether their products cause cancer.

In the case of Uber, one state implementing these stricter measures is actually a good way to collect the needed data to make these decisions on a wider scale across the country. NY will take this approach and we'll see the results. Other states can look at those results and try to figure out a better way.
This is very false. Einstein's reputation was built on explaining known phenomena such as the photoelectric effect and Brownian motion. Special relativity was heavily motivated by a pile of puzzling evidence and a bunch of existing mathematics.

Sure, but a lawyer / Torvalds / any SME might want to hedge that their opinion is strong or not.

There's a pretty darn big difference between "my gut feeling is that this approach is too complicated, but I've not analyzed the problem sufficiently to know whether my gut is correct" and "there's no way this is the right architecture, it'll have harmful impact, and there's lots of better ways to do it".

It's imo especially important to do so from positions of authority where others might be less critical in accepting ones statements as truth.

If you'd like to read some more progressive thinking by a European, here's an interview with the CNES (French space agency) Director of Launchers:

https://satelliteobservation.net/2018/06/02/cnes-director-of...

In which he talks about about a realistic path to a reusable rocket that could compete with Falcon 9. But it wouldn't launch until 2028-2030.
I remember going down that path when I was an undergraduate. Fortunately I had a very experienced theorist to hand who explained that, yes, people did try that, but stopped bothering because it doesn't generalize to general relativity, and there was no point keeping two mathematical toolboxes around when you could have one.
> This problem will also bite the US launch industry

I don't think so. ULA was formed in 2006 [1]. Before that, the U.S. launch market was competitive within itself and with the Russians. The Falcon 9 first flew in 2015 (EDIT: "first flew commercially in 2013") [2], returning the American market to a competitive state. American aerospace engineers are used to working in a competitive culture. If ULA doesn't become competitive, either itself or by splitting, there are plenty of launch start-ups beyond SpaceX and Blue Origin hiring away that talent.

In contrast, the European market has no similar tradition of competition in launch services. The reaction to SpaceX isn't to consider a novel platform. It's to plod on with the old and raise the gates around European launch buyers.

Plenty of articles say that organic is not worth it due to no nutritional value. That is not the reason I've ever heard anybody say they purchase organic fruits and veggies. It's the chemicals.

Yeah, maybe not the best naming convention. It might be easier to call it a "reverse privacy policy": what we want you to do with our data.

I envision the agreement would be non-binding--it would simply be a list of things we the Consumers want our companies to agree to. The companies can then say yes, we agree to follow your guidelines (perhaps introduce some third party to "certify" that the guidelines have been followed if companies start lying about it).
Yes.. sort of. For that scenario, we need a lot of things in place that are down the road for WASM. Technically it would work today, but you'd have to ship a Python runtime with every "app". That's a lot of overhead, so much so that it's basically a non-starter for many people.

In the future it may work, because a built in GC is on the roadmap for WASM. Unfortunately I'm not sure that it will work great for most scenarios. For example, Go(lang) ships with its own GC which is very tailored to its use case. Defaulting to a WASM GC could work, in theory, but would it impose difficulties such as unexpected performance characteristics with longer GC pauses or whatever?

There's a lot of edge cases that will have to be covered for this stuff to work instead. Perhaps shared WASM binaries would be the best solution, allowing runtimes to be offloaded and cached regardless of user land code running.
