I want to expand on mikekchar's "You're getting down voted mainly because you are wrong."

systemd has been adopted by many different distros, however this is not because of "top down" pressure (From who, Red Hat? Most distros don't answer to Red Hat), and most of them don't have a (B)DFL who could have imposed that decision on them.

There are many arguments for systemd other than "boot faster" and "it's newer". In fact, the author of the article this is a thread for has written a pretty good list of them: https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/linux/SystemdRight

The article you linked... is bad for very many reasons. In particular, it makes no acknowledgement that what it refers to as "init" (http://www.nongnu.org/sysvinit/) is only really half of an "init system" as the term is commonly used today, and all distros would be pairing it with something else on top of it. The table at the bottom is particularly ridiculous, and I take issue with almost every row; a lot of that comes down to the silliness of comparing systemd to sysvinit-by-itself, rather than sysvinit+initscripts or sysvinit+OpenRC or sysvinit+LSB-init-scripts.
Why don't more people realize this one simple logical conclusion: pumping more insulin into your body is going to end-up killing you.

Sure, it will kill you more slowly than you'd die if you didn't get that insulin in the short-term, but it's definitely not a "solution". Diabetes is caused by insulin resistance. What do you think more insulin is going to do to your body in the long-term?

The ultimate/only good solution is to make you insulin sensitive once again.
As much as I like the NYT, as mentioned below, their unsubscribe functionality sucks. I sent them an email last December requesting to unsubscribe. I didn't follow up on it and eventually forgot about it.

Eventually, they email me around May to apologise that my email was "delayed" due to a technical glitch they had just discovered. Great but I still never got an actual unsubscription processed.

A few months later, around July while doing a "subscription spring cleaning", I called them up to cancel it. The guy asked why I was leaving (6 months+ with no customer support answer) and promptly processed my cancellation.

A few weeks later, I was emailed a "resubscription offer" which genuinely frustrated me as you might imagine.
Image occlusion and Cloze Overlapper, for sure.

Glutanimate makes great videos that introduce the plugins (and he writes/maintains some of them, including imo the above two).

But the basic idea is:
Image occlusion - allows you to make a "cloze" using an image. I.e. you select 3 parts of an image to hide (by drawing something over them), and then you get 3 cards, one with each thing being hidden, then having to be revealed. That's the basic gist, and it's amazing, especially if you're studying something with lots of drawings (I usually don't, but e.g. anatomy is useful. And even I find uses for it).

Cloze overlapper allows you to easily create something that's recommended in the famous SuperMemo learning article. Let's say you want to memorize a song. You write the lines of the song, then the plugin generates cards which go:

Card 1:
Song name
[...] (you have to know the first line)

Card 2:
Song name

The first line
[...] (you have to know the second line)

And so on. So you're getting the context of the last line of the song, and then you have to know the next line.

This is the "standard" way to learn something like songs, poems, etc, but also useful for other ordered lists of things. Incredibly customizable btw (how many lines to show, whether to show line after as well, etc).

Other fun things:
Image Resizer - simply a button that allows you to paste a smaller version of an image.

Advanced browser - makes the browser way more awesome (specifically, it gives you the option of sorting by arbitrary columns).

Note: Anki 2.1 just came out, and most plugins aren't compatible yet. So it's a real question whether it's worth upgrading if you rely on plugins.
Which Is Worse Single or Multi-Vendor Store?
Long time sufferer here.

There is still a _HUGE_ taboo around OCD and mental health in general. A lot of people still think it's all make believe.

In the last couple of months I've starting receiving professional help for a number of themes around OCD that have been traumatising me for most of my life. It's certainly helping, but also very comforting to hear from a professional the kind of issues his/her other clients might be facing.

Don't suffer in silence or try to fix it all by yourself. No matter how bizarre, how dark or how ashamed you are of your OCD you should know you're not alone. A professional therapist has probably heard it, or something very close to it, many many times before.

Good luck!
Open for anyone to see is not the same thing as unsafe. That's a false equivalence.

HTTP is unsafe in the same way that getting a newspaper delivered to your yard is unsafe.

Oh no. Casual passersby know from looking that I have a newspaper on my lawn. If someone wants to snoop when I'm not looking, they now know that I read a specific newspaper. Someone could even steal it.

It's unsafe in the sense that if you leave your driver license, credit cards, birth certificate, cash, and car keys all in your yard over night, you won't be surprised if at least one of them is gone in the morning.

HTTP is a paper in your yard. A poster on a phone pole. A business card on a broken, smudgedy plexiglass subway sign. HTTP is public, and there is absolutely value in putting things out there for everyone to read in public.
Nice project - just one bit of feedback, on a German keyboard y and z are swapped and it makes playing pretty difficult. Maybe alter it so that y or z can be used for A.

Edit: Also, the buttons are mapped the wrong way around. On a NES controller B is the leftmost button and A is the rightmost button.
But the upkeep is expensive. One example: Jewel Avenue and Van Wyk Expressway intersection

> New York State Department of Transportation Acting Commissioner Cathy Calhoun said the bridge is set to get $13 million in repairs to enhance safety for pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists.

This is just one intersection and definitely not at the heart of the city. Jewel Avenue Q64 bus is probably symbolic of New York politics. It is frustrating to see no bus for half an hour and then see three buses come together at the same time. However, we can't have a train here even if we somehow we're able to create/take over the land we need.
Today's XKCD is on this as well: https://xkcd.com/2030/
I've been an active member my whole life (38) and I've never even heard of "space doctrine". I looked it up and as far as I can tell, there are some theories by members of the Church but nothing from any current or former members of the Quorum of the Twelve or First Presidency, which is required for something to really be considered canon.

Just because some member of the Church believes or says something doesn't make it doctrine.
It depends entirely on the cost to purchase. If it's a fraction of the opportunity cost you're probably crazy not to early exercise.

There are major benefits beyond tax savings. If you quit before a liquidity event you can easily keep the vested equity without worrying about paying taxes on unrealized gain.
Except in the DID instance, you can represent a DID using a CID. This is how IPFS creates their implementation called IPID[0]. DID is a schema/protocol for DID and DDO, and its associated content. Its one step higher then a CID.

A huge part of GNU/Linux is written in C. A small part is written in C++. I would accept the argument that C++ is less accessible than C to people maintaining Linux systems.

Based on this alone I would say that yes, the difference is material and relevant.
You still need a way to verify that the code used everywhere in the system from receiving your ballot to announcing the final vote tally was the exactly correct version of the open source software.

Querying and verifying your vote doesn't guarantee that it was included like that in the count, just that your real vote is stored somewhere.
this is really cool! thanks for sharing it here, I'll definitely dig in deeper on it. I've been following Tomu development for over a year now (two?) I've got one on desk right now, the ideas that mithro cares about, the open hardware, are very important to me and I'm glad to see as much development in the space as possible.
ketogenic diet is what is revolutionizing life with diabetes, by, you know, curing it (not type 1 though).

automating the process of releasing a chemical that is roughly speaking the cause of the disease is hardly revolutionary.
true, but the next generation has I believe 64k (or more) of RAM.

Often it was a "matter of fact" thing. If the ecosystem under the distro changes to use systemd distros will follow. There might be more advantages to it, but it being required to run Gnome 3 without additional effort, and in general other servies starting to rely on it, make the decision pro systemd the easy one for distro maintainers. You can see that point being made in the debian discussion on the issue.

Till they hit the showstopper bugs and can't solve them.
Short answer is it was the latter.

This was Calc 1 in a Computer Science program.

Basically, the final exam had something like 6 questions, most of them standard calculation or new proof questions.

But 2 questions were "prove this theorem that you learned", e.g. prove the intermediate value theorem or Weierstrauss' theorem or L'Hopital's rule or something. And answering at least one of these was mandatory.

The proofs were from a list of about 40 proofs that would be on the test. The effect was that you basically had to memorize 40 proofs before the test, or at least a good chunk of them.

I hated this at the time and though it was a total waste of time, but in retrospect, I think this was great way to force students to actually grapple with proofs. It was my first serious proof-based course (though I did proof stuff before in Linear Algebra and Set Theory courses).

And in retrospect, this is (part of) how I actually study today, so I guess I liked the idea.
Here is my more compact layout [1]. Twice the Tomu, but at a certain point that just makes it easier to extract. The big advantage of tomu's size is you can leave it in a laptop port, but that is the last thing you want to do with a security device.

We are a bit smaller team with currently 6 people, but we're going to be 10 by December.

The daily stand-up is useful for us to identify pain-points and then interested people can checkout issues / interesting problems later on during the day.

We also started to have our trello run in the background of our standups so when we state what we're going to do, we're not trailing too far from the road map.
Reminds me of the time I took LSD on Koh Phangan, Thailand with a good friend.

I'm laying on the beach, captivated by the oceans rhythmic patterns and watching as the moon gradually expanded and drew closer.

Meanwhile, my mate is rolling around, flaying his hands and chewing sand.

Needless to say, not all experiences are the same.

Fun though.
Thanks for the tip. Shame on them.

I know well enough what you mean, and I don't want to downplay any aspect of it, but that software you're talking about that "all but makes the music for you" never ends up sounding like music to me. I don't totally dismiss it as "non-music", but when I hear tracks that are using Pro Tools presets it's obvious that the person who recorded it was just dialing it in. Music ultimately requires analog sounds and the interplay between musicians. Software can never truly replicate that.

If SELinux doesn't cut it and you actually need to jail a badly-behaved service, "set up a jail in this specific way and exec this process in it" should be a tool to be invoked by an init script or a unit file or whatever. unshare(1) looks like it's halfway there.
I don't know...even if it was one milligram of powder (a high but not unheard of dose), that wouldn't come close to filling even a tiny capsule!

The only way to get a capsule full with 1mg of L that could be split into even doses is if someone who had access to the raw powder managed to mix it relatively evenly with something inert at a ratio of like 100-500:1.

If that sounds challenging, it's because it is, and it's the exact reason why LSD is typically dissolved into liquid.
> It's the deafness to the people around him that I find astonishing.

I mean, you could characterize it this way. Or you could just say "some people aren't paying full attention to cashiers, especially when they're tired/stressed/traveling with children.

Really, I'm not saying he was OK to "steal" something, but are you really so shocked at someone not paying the most attention to a routine encounter like paying money? That part is completely standard behavior.
The corn is feeding sugars to the microbes that do the nitrogen-fixing, this has to mean some energy cost to the corn itself. Can anyone comment if this makes a notable dent in the yield of the corn, compared to a situation when the corn gets the nitrogen for free from fertilizers? Or perhaps the extra energy expenditure is so small that it doesn't matter in practice?

Of course, in situations when a farmer simply cannot afford to buy nitrogen fertilizers, the potentially lower yield doesn't matter, because the only alternative is no yield at all.
I read your link, and it's easy to understand because it's really well explained :-)
I'm not sure what the big deal is, they are charging for older version support. Not only this, I've been using and would recommend people switch to openjdk.
> Mormons are the kindest

There is nothing kind about their treatment of the LGBT population in general, and LGBT youth in particular.

And if they were really that good at taking care of each other, I don't think that Utah would rank 5th in the nation for adolescent suicides (children 15 - 19 years) with a per capita suicide rate more than double the national average.*

They really do like to put on a good face, but their actions and the data says something rather different.

Their mobile app is worse: Any article shows 7 instances of the same ad in a rather short article. So any article is basically 70% ads. This is even when you have a paid subscription. Even the NYT lost the high ground on the ad-free reading game.
Reducing the local latency of the remote player could be done by simulating the game on both devices, with rollback whenever the input from the other player is received.

You can then do input prediction to minimize the number and impact of rollbacks.
You can and even hack the emulator to interpolate the predicted positions of the sprites and their actual positions.

I wasn't really thinking of deadline in hours, more like how many extra man-hours/days one would need. If you need more time than the next guy to finish your exam because pressure affects you, when you start working you may end up needing 2 more man-days (15 extra hours) for a task that the other guy can finish on time. Almost all deadlines are set around what your best people can achieve. Not being able to work under pressure will be obvious sooner or later unless you pick a job with very soft and flexible deadlines.

And I'm not even touching the situations where it could be a matter of life and death and you have to fix it now.

> I don't get how this is at all equivalent. Could you please clarify?

I was referring to this:

> The pressures STEM employees face at work are usually very different from exam pressure, so I would lean towards "very little" as the answer to that question.

Exams rely on a lot of memorizing which can easily be replaced by Google and WA and is not a reflection of how you will do real work so why test that "knowledge"? The pressure to properly allot time to every question and finish in the exam in time after providing all or most of the solutions is an ability to work under pressure perfectly equivalent to the one you feel doing a task at work. You can't replace the working under pressure skill with almost anything else.

You have to know if those future engineers can do it fast and well even under pressure. Lessening one burden is no different from lessening the other. And when you do it for the benefit of a single group it can't not feel like it's strengthening arguments that some people need help to get through STEM. That's the last thing women in STEM need, having to fight yet another prejudice.
Yeah you're right, could do both

At the moment you can already grant third parties access to your data - you can pass along your online banking credentials and they will scrape the web UI (there is an entire industry built on that - companies like TrueLayer will take any bank’s credentials and some cash and give you JSON in exchange, scraping the online banking UI behind the scenes).

Stupid people will be stupid and will find a way to shoot themselves in the foot; doesn’t mean I should be prevented from accessing my own data.

Beyond that, its also reasonable for them to charge for Java. Java is huge, the ecosystem, the libraries and the software built using it. Its like you have to spend money to build a technology which every one is using to build awesome things, and you have to not only continue investing in it, but give it away for free.

Sun spent like millions of dollars on Java, without earning a penny in return. At some point in time you are a company and have to make profits.

Sending all that big money down the drain for others benefits, and no profits for yourself is something no company will do.
So, I live in a BRT neighborhood in Provo, and it's really weird. It's more inconvenient for motorists, the bike routes are awkward (there are new signs for bikes to yield to vehicles -- at an intersection that has a median through it and is solely for the benefit of bicyclists), and pedestrians have to go into the middle of the street to get on the bus. And BRT still takes 1.5x-2x the time to get to main destinations than direct car routes do.

Not to mention that one of the residential BRT streets north of me has been under construction for more time than it took NASA to get to the moon in the '60s.

But it's cool that we get free service, I guess. BYU and UVU students get free UTA transportation (more than just BRT) with their ID cards.
sysvinit is short enough to be trivially maintainable. If you're just using it as a shim to load a framework on top of it, you can ditch even more of it cutting it down to around 500LOC (see openrc-init). So that's not a large enough part of "the ecosystem under the distro".

Debian maintained their own init-scripts framework (and still does, for kFreeBSD and other kernels), so that certainly didn't move out from under them.

Arch Linux maintained their own initscripts framework, so that wasn't moving out from under them.

I suppose there is a case to be made that distros were pushed to systemd by Gnome 3's reliance on systemd-logind's D-Bus API.

Companies like TrueLayer will happily take online banking credentials and provide you with an API, scraping the bank’s UI behind the scenes. A lot of financial aggregator apps use it for ages now.
