That makes sense to me. Instead of aiming for a consensus article, just point searches to a consensus neutral article. Or maybe not even that, if there's too much contention, but just a list of labeled articles. Just as there are now disambiguation pages.

But of course, you'd need consensus labels, but at least that seems more feasible than consensus articles.
One of the best references on BEAM is here:
https://happi.github.io/theBeamBook/

You can skim it in order to see the major differences with the JVM. For me, the fact that BEAM has out of the box m:n threading [lightweight processes] and that each process has its own heap makes it stand out compared to the JVM.

My point is that there are lots of people who don't want to endure the viewpoints that you perceive as being so obviously correct that there is no need for further discussion. This attitude is much closer to the Catholic Church's ancient position on astronomy than Galileo's.

For example, I have no doubt that the flat earth theory is incorrect, but it wouldn't bother me if it we're included in Wikipedia. How can anyone learn to think critically if certain ideas are forbidden? And once the idea that it's ok to forbid certain ideas takes hold, the list of forbidden ideas always expands. That is far more dangerous than allowing what seem to be obviously ridiculous ideas to be expressed.

The problem with editorial policy for a site like Wikipedia is who gets to decide what that policy is? Thus, we have the endless fights like this one. It's avoidable in theory, but "curation" is always in vogue -- so long as the curators think like us.
I'm only commenting on what little there is to glean about the compute, but there are so many other red flags about their autonomous development strategy. Crippling per-unit cost constraints, No Lidar, SLAM-lite, ANN heavy, insufficient redundancy and they've got a major data collection problem because they're relying on what they can get over the air. Plus Musk scared away most of their their top engineers.

They're sandboxed with AppArmor, which allows restriction to rwx. Checking an app's permissions profile can tell you what it's allowed to read and write. It's like SELinux, but instead of capabilities, it's a list of files. (But everything* on linux is a file*, so that's probably good enough?)
The appropriate response is to kick some of these people out not simply accept that their is nothing to be done.
One of the better anime subtitles I've seen (can't remember the anime - I think Genshiken? Because of the sheer density of cultural references) included "footnotes" above the subtitles to indicate those nuances and connotations and cultural references.

Indeed, I find the value of programming, emotionally, comes in part as a test of oneself against the inanimate world. There's no negotiating with a program, no sales, no bullying. If it doesn't work, it is abundantly clear whose fault that is. In its own way, this is a very comforting perspective. Read Shop Class as Soulcraft, by Matthew Crawford (one of my favorite books), for more on this.

One outcome of Crawford's analysis is that really skilled craftsmen (he would consider programming a craft) are excellent at admitting failure - it's the only path to success.

I do agree the author of the article doesn't seem to understand artists, and appears quite prejudiced against the artistic creative process. Creating art seriously is every bit as challenging as programming, mostly in the same ways.
You're thinking of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_(Czechoslovak_company)

> If government-directed job creation is the desired goal, why not just hand the preferred companies cash? That would be a lot more transparent and targeted than subsidizing utilities Venezuela-style.

This isn't a subsidy, it's hydro power; which is limited, but cheap to produce. If the bitcoin miners drive the price up without providing many jobs, it may incentivize the actual employers that were attracted by the low price to leave for other areas. It's a net negative for the community.

To benefit from cheaper electricity, you have to use it, and traditionally that's been through employing people to operate machines. If the companies got a cash subsidy instead, they would probably pocket the cash without doing as much as they promised to do to get it.

Yeah, because that's totally how software distribution should work. What's so wrong with the vendor just compiling and distributing an application? Why must this be needlessly complicated?
One way is for an admin who is not party to the conflict to summarize the presented arguments, existing rules and precedents, and write a decision.

Serious irresolvable conflicts are decided by the Arbitration Committee for the particular language edition of Wikipedia, and the committee's decisions are binding.

Each language editions of Wikipedia has its own slightly different take on how the Arbitration Committee is selected and how it makes decisions, but the general gist is that commissioners are highly active editors (not necessarily administrators) who are elected for a limited term by a vote of active editors.

CentOS isn't even a split. CentOS is RHEL with different distribution without the trademarks - it's binary-compatible and documentation-compatible, and matches versions patch-for-patch.

Fedora is more like a split - it's the people who like RHEL but want a faster release cycle.
Wouldn’t they have already seen it in plan text in whatever medium you received it?
Phones weren't allowed in my high school 10 years ago. Everyone still used them. They were huge distractions to students and also to teachers since they spent a lot of time policing. Teachers were not allowed to give you an F for having it, they would just take it and give you in-school suspension. Talking in class was much easier for a teacher to police than being on your phone. We got very good at hiding it. I held my phone by using the back of my knee, bending my leg to pinch the phone in place, then typing a text or Google search until I needed to look.

No one was using them for educational purposes.

There's more to mining than this, but one aspect is that it protects the network from attack. If there's a disagreement about whether a transaction was made, the side with more computing power wins. There's no central authority to arbitrate disputes, so they continuously have to prove which transactions are acknowledged by the majority. If they turned down the hash power to a reasonable level, someone with more hash power could come along and start rewriting transaction history.
In my experience, enterprises care less about price & more about support, perceived reliability & how they calculate value. I typically see them pay through the nose for inferior products, that are over priced but offer support packages & are billed as an enterprise company. Ironically, the support usually leaves them frustrated as good support is hard to find.

"Abstinence from alcohol in midlife, long term abstinence, and decrease in consumption were associated with a significantly higher risk of dementia of 45%, 67%, and 50%, respectively, compared with consumption of 1-14 units/week, but only among participants who reported abstinence from wine."

I don't get that sentence. Doesn't abstinence from alcohol always imply abstinence from wine? Or is it saying that drinking 1-14 units/wk only lowers your risk compared to being abstinent if some of that consumption comes in the form of wine?
That's what Ive been telling people past few weeks. Got a Costco membership a month or so ago. Thoroughly assessed store before that.

When I explain non-food/bulk parts, I tell them to imagine if you wanted Amazon-like experience that fit in a single, walk-in warehouse. The only strategy that makes sense is to pick the best or a few of each category of product. They have everything from work shoes to pillows to containers to a diesel generator. People will occasionally want some of that stuff. The already go to Costco. They know its prices are low. So, maybe they just grab some of it while there. And finish saying Costco was doing this before Amazon existed.

On the groceries, they need to carry more smaller portion sizes, though. Walmart and Kroger are price waring so much that Costco costs more on most stuff. Making sizes of stuff like ketchup or spices comparable, but maybe still in little packs, could shift more sales to them. Hammacher already does this where the types of items are same as Walmart and Amazon: just differentiated on vetted quality. Costco can do similar with quality and price, which they already do a bit.
So pay them more.
Computer failures are reproducible, but you don't get "1000 Teslas driving trough that section in the problematic interval" which shows up in the actual statistics.

Computers fail in different ways than humans do. But, that does not mean you can't reason about failure modes. If you ask someone to pay attention to something for an hour without doing anything most people are just really bad at this. Based on that I am rather shocked how well Tesla's systems work as I was expecting vastly more problems.

Could I have flipped to far in the other direction probably. But, I base things on my experience and the data I have available not just unchanging gut feelings.
Autopilot/self driving is more complicated there are 5 levels I think.

It's hard for me to dislike this, because I also find standups and sprint planning meetings to be painful and somewhat less than useful for myself.

On the other hand, when you are with a new team, or a team with a few people that need mentoring, or going in a new direction, I find that it's important to force people to coordinate, because many times people will just run off in random directions you don't want them to. You really have to have the best people, and trust their instincts if you follow what the article suggests. Any weak players on your team will just be lost and potentially set you back (or at best, just waste their time).
I don’t think it’s necessarily something to be “guilty” for. Especially if it’s someone else’s code I’m debugging, I agree that rewriting it “in my own words” can be a great way to understand what’s going on. Like you said, its not like you have to check in the changes.

However it sounds like people are talking about refactoring an app solely for the purpose of hoping that the refactor shakes out whatever bugs. That sounds like the debugging equivalent of “8 hours of coding saved me 30 minutes of planning”

When I read people in the 21st century wagging their fingers at people's immoral behavior in the past, I often wonder to myself if they've read any history (or even better in this case, browsed some photos), look at the world through a lens so different than mine that I can't even fathom what the world might look like through their eyes, or with the overwhelming number of conveniences and hyper-optimized processes that power the bubbles we live in, maybe they simply can't see the amount of complexity and uncertainty there is in the world.

Yes, that is totally how software distribution should work. Vendors cannot be trusted, this has been proven over and over and over again. Having a dispassionate third party do the packaging keeps malware out of your computer. This is why we have browser extensions and android apps that spy on you. This is why we have a snap which was mining cryptocurrency on your computer a few weeks ago. This is why Mozilla can add spyware to Firefox. Vendor publishing is fundamentally broken.

Non-WSJ Alternative (seems to be an affiliated summary): https://www.marketwatch.com/story/young-people-are-shunning-...
The general shape is:

"Nobody can avoid being X, so therefore X is pervasive, and it is pointless to try to constrain X"

In this case, it's "everyone has bias, so being unbiased is possible, therefore all viewpoints are equally valid and should be presented as such".

You can substitute X with greed, violence, jealousy... any human failing, and it can be used as a method to justify poor behavior by appealing to epistemological or moral nihilism (all knowledge, morality). It's essentially the last refuge of people backed into a corner of epistemic closure and an attempt to avoid reconciling their worldview with reality but rejecting that there is any knowable basis for morality or truth.

If there's even a single 70-80k income involved, then I expect that household is no longer in the "can’t afford a basic monthly budget for housing, food, transportation, child care, health care and a monthly smartphone bill" bucket, unless it's insisting on living in a specific location with very high housing costs.

All I was saying above is that I am not surprised that a large fraction of households _are_ in that bucket as defined in the United Way report, because child care is expensive. And I expect the fraction of households in that bucket would likely be a lot smaller if "child care" were not being included in basic life necessities.

I am not going to comment on your personal financial situation; you are obviously a better judge of that than I am! I certainly know people with 200k household incomes who also have significant fixed expenses (student loans, medical expenses, whatever) that lead to them not having as much disposable income as one might think. But that's not really related to the United Way study.
Why would they? You've spent the last 30 years telling them not to do those jobs, devaluing them with globalization and de-unionizing them to make sure those jobs don't create any kind of sustainable lifestyle for the people that do them.

I like snaps but I ve stopped using them because they auto update Windows10 style. In the snap forums a lot of people asked for the ability to disable updates in order to update only when you want. Integration with the software and updates app in Ubuntu would go a long way here. But no snap devs have refused that (unless you are an enterprise customer and use a proprietary extension). So if you have snaps their update process is totally separate from other apps in your Ubuntu desktop and outside of your control barring some time settings for soft auto update exceptions hidden in the CLI interface.
It wouldn't. Someone would need to develop an alternative. It could work - just use the existing Wikipedia, but branch it. In essence change Wikipedia to a decentralized model.
So your argument is that anyone who wants to use any proprietary software should just switch to Windows?

I suppose I should stop using Linux then, because I occasionally play games from Steam.
