(1) There are many flags to these commands that you will need to know on a per platform basis anyway.

(2) Package names aren't always identical across platforms, at least not enough that you can rely on that.

It is a low-cost attempt to solve a problem that in my opinion doesn't really exist and it doesn't even do a great job doing that due to the points above.

For instance if you want to use pacman without knowing what -Ss stands for, at the slightest conflict, you'll be going back to using pacman without this wrapper.

Perhaps people who need to have package managers abstracted away could be a good target for Docker. Maybe a web UI to dynamically bake a docker image with required packages.

Certain people have an exceptional ability to communicate their thoughts and ideas. Now imagine if someone didn’t have that same mental quickness, or struggles to turn parallel thought process into serial form. Now assume that work was not quantitative but more qualitative in nature. Seems obviously that these people are all around us but it will be difficult to identify them as a genius before their ideas are accepted. Maybe MRIs will help us better uncover all of the various geniuses of the world so that we can take them a little more seriously. Entrepreneurship is interesting in this regard because it’s another way to potentially keep score.

I was wondering about that the other day. See, I just discovered Moshe Koussevitzky a few months ago (Wikipedia says "a lyric tenor with a spectacular and perhaps unparalleled upper register among cantors. Koussevitzky is regarded as among the greatest Cantors of the 20th century.") and I bought a track of his and I was wondering about just that: he died in 1966, who the heck gets that money now?

You should probably look at page 53 before you interpret this as praise.
That is a bit of a misconception. Your front brake is much more effective at stopping the bike than the rear. People go over the handlebars because they are not gripping well enough. They are not used to the force. With a bit of practice you will never go over the handlebars with the front brake.

The rear brake is much more likely to cause a fall. When you apply the brake the bike tips forward and the rear wheel rises up. It easily looses grip and can lock up. That causes a skid and next thing you are on the ground. Or just smashed into whatever you are trying to avoid.

The front brake does not do this because the tipping forward pushes the front wheel into the ground. You get more grip and more braking potential. With a little practice you can stop the bike quickly and easily. You will never go back. But you have to grip the handlebars and tense your arms a bit to deal with the force.
Yes, but there is a more embarrassing detail that's missing from Strumia's talk:

Ceresole does not have a SINGLE refereed publication since 2014, and the one from 2014 is not exactly in the best journal. And that wasn't because of a career break. According to her CV she has been the Coordinator of the INFN
Theory Group in Torino since 2015.

It is hard to believe that she could have been hired for any position in 2018 without a henchman (or henchwoman) on the committee. So the question arises whether someone close to her pushed her application. Then we know about the close association with Penati through a European COST action. Now what should have happened in such a case is that INFN's anti-corruption code should have been followed. I won't discuss the implications any further, and only say that all hell may break loose if there was something fishy about this hiring.
Read the INFN code for yourselves, and consider that Italian academics are civil servants, so that a case of corruption would constitute a felony under the penal code. I wouldn't get into a fight for affirmative action over this case. It could backfire terribly.
Also the numbered quotation format is really without indentation. If I recall correctly in restructuredText you can do the same to do quotations correctly, and you could also put in strings instead of numbers, e.g. [<Author><Year>] (might need Sphinx, a library on top of resT, or maybe a bibtex plugin).
They also released a modders kit which renamed all the classes and methods, producing source code which, when compiled again, produced Minecraft.

Show HN: The Chinese hardware attack is false
considering the irrationality of executing the memory attacks through hardware mod:

If the device has secure boot in place, whereby memory is signed and sometimes encrypted, any attempt to modify the SPI memory bus, the focal point of discussion thus far, will be useless++. And if secure boot of BMC is not in place then the manufacturer (read `evil chinese') will just modify the memory before shipping. Cheaper, more efficient, less detectable.

What this means is that everyone is looking at the wrong place for origin of attack. It is highly unlikely to be the manufacturer.

++ modification of memory is prevented by secure boot unless that secure boot implementation has a runtime flaw, which can be fixed through software patch.

Reading this makes me understand the decision about them licking down on repairs a little more. If a Mac won’t boot because of tampering (repairing) then it essentially solves this problem. I’m a little conflicted if it’s the case as I think we have the right to repair our own devices but distrust of any state actors (locally and internationally) is also pretty high.
What you are saying doesn't apply generally. Are you thinking in a specific context?

Without advertising, the take up of new inventions (things like pressure cookers, microwaves, etc) would be significantly slower. There would be mass confusion about how to get access to uncommon services (legal, accounting and building for example). I wouldn't know what half of the companies out there did if they didn't run some advertising somewhere.

I mean, say there is a company called Stratco. They might sell something I'd buy if I knew about it. How do you propose I figure that out if they don't advertise? I'm not about to research them to find out what it is they sell; there are too many companies out there doing random business->business services I don't want to know about. It is a very neat solution for them to figure out what I do for leisure, subsidise it and pay for an ad or few.
I’m not arguing against IP laws in general, I just feel that in many ways they’ve become weighted far too much in favor of IP holders, as a result of IP holders having all the money and thus power in Washington. I’m not anti-patent or anti-copyright as a rule. They are legal fictions (an actual term, not a disparaging one) which were created in order to benefit everyone. The fact that they directly benefitted IP holders was not the intention, just a side effect. The goal was to spur creation, which everyone would benefit from, not to protect anyone’s revenue stream.

The rhetoric seems to have shifted to treating IP as a fundamental right. No longer is it a legal fiction to benefit everyone, which had a side effect of allowing a few to reap more profits. Now politicians talk about it as if patent protections, etc. exist solely to protect the IP holders and their revenue, which for some reason is treated as an inalienable right, and not as a compromise for the greater good for everyone. At least that’s my impression as an observer.
This is really misinformed. Apple has a VP position for environment which is staffed by former head of the EPA Lisa Jackson. At the last keynote event she got a prime time on stage to talk about Apple’s major initiative to make their devices last longer. IOS 12 is running on the 5S, which is a 6 year old phones, and not only that but a major focus for this version was to improve performance on older devices. I use a 5S for travel and as a test device and it is still perfectly usable, maybe more so than ever.

There is no other manufacturer of computer equipment that comes close to maintaining service and usability on older devices than Apple at this point, and this has been shown over and over again by the resale value that their older devices still command. Many Android phones, even Nexus and Pixel devices only received updates for 1.5-2 years after their last sell date.

You’ll find very few companies that focus as much on environmental impact, and Apple recycles any product they have ever manufactured at their own expense. See here: https://www.apple.com/ca/environment/
Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good (or bad, in this case).

The fact that everything is different makes it a problem worth solving. Docker just abstracts the problem.
Eh, I'd rather have the option to choose than have the government force it down everyone's throats. Believe it or not, most people never repair their devices for the entire time the own them.

The point is that it's not about effort; it's about resources and the fact that you can't anticipate what is easy or not for other people. The easier we can make this the better. If you can't afford a printer, or are bedridden and can't get out easily, it's probably nice that someone will mail you a pre-filled out form. There are plenty of reasons why someone might have trouble with the existing mechanisms of getting registered, be it due to financial circumstance, physical ailments, or some other reason. It doesn't really matter why, it just matters that we make it easier for those less fortunate than us to register.
I've lived in Norway for the last 32 years and from my English vantage point Norwegian and Danish are definitely dialects of the same language. Swedish is the one that has made the most progress to becoming a separate language because of the large amount of vocabulary that is not shared with the other two but it is still not really distinct. All three have essentially the same grammar and syntax. I can converse with educated, well spoken, Swedes because the pronunciation is very similar to Norwegian even though spelling, vocabulary, and usage often differ. On the other hand I struggle with Trøndersk which no one claims is a separate language from Norwegian, and Danish is almost impossible in conversation because the pronunciation is so different from Norwegian but reading it is very easy.

These three languages are much more similar than Dutch and English.

I think you need a more telling example.
I shifted to Linux full time this year from MacOS. The only thing I desperately need is a replacement for is MS Office. Any ideas? I'm a power user, which Google word is simply not good for.
But also if a modification of the SPI bus can result in exploitation then the manufacturer will just patch the memory in place. Cheaper, easier, less detectable. So... the manufacturer is not the source of attack.
Pic cam android application is now free
it seems Windows 10 was where the tide turned on mandatory / forced automatic, while also making it pretty difficult to disable (and when you do disable updates other issues can arise that have nothing to do w the windows update service ,although pretty rarely )

I think the reason Microsoft decided to force these auto updates with windows 10 is due to the bad rap they got over the years for security and vulns ( in their defense part of that was just simply due to the insane marketshare windows enjoyed for so long, and still does for the most part , although to a lesser degree than before).
Consumer electronics steadily decline in price. Its a category error to define a curve as a point.

Example 3 years ago the Iphone 6S was released. The 64GB was priced initially at $750 US. You can now find them for 235.

This is aprox 1/3 the original price.

Since labor is a relatively stable price, replacement parts don't tend to get much cheaper, and the cost of a used model is constantly going down its not shocking that devices that aren't cheap to repair rapidly become trash.

You already see this on everything from cars to fridges.

You would do well not to assume bad faith and call people liars without good cause.
> re-do the UI again, or move menu options around, or just break major functionality.

...or reduce performance on otherwise perfectly good hardware, possibly due to the those changes or the "20 features nobody wants".

I'm a computer professional, and even I have this anti-update attitude for exactly that reason. At least I have the competence to mitigate the security risks through other means, but I can't well recommend anyone else do the same. To quote Tom Lehrer, this makes me feel "like a Christian Scientist with appendicitis".

I'm confused. How are tropical forests emitting carbon? Even if the title is misleading and they mean the areas that used to be tropical forests (deforested areas), how are these bare areas, which are now clear cut or used for farming, emitting carbon? I don't see any explanation in the article. Can someone explain?
> I've never understood the need for noun genders and I scratch my head at a society that makes its members memorize such useless information.

I’ve never understood the need to pronounce completely differently from writing - and irregularly, too - as you guys do in English. Or throwing the the everywhere, or having a gazillion of bizarre tenses.

English is simpler in some ways, terribly overcomplicated in others.
Latin is still spoken today, on the radio of all things. The Finnish national broadcaster broadcasts Nuntii Latini, or the News in Latin.

The interesting part is they do not invent new words but find existing Latin expressions and combine existing words. That alone speaks a lot of how universal the language was and perhaps still is.

An example of the Indonesian tsunami catastrophy: "Plus mille quadringenti homines perierunt, cum fluctus tsunami ex motu terrae ortus in insulam Sulawesi Indonesiae (28.9.) incidisset. Magistratus timent, ne numerus victimarum in multa milia ascendat. Maxime afflicta est urbs Palu et proxima illi Donggala. In regione motui terrae et fluctui exposita circiter sescenta milia hominum habitant."

Without any forms of copyright, there would be an explosion in art, science and business... but mostly small firms/independend people would benefit from it.

Where did you get that idea? That seems to me to be the opposite of the truth.

In most cases of media (music, books, video games) there's an extreme exponential notion of success. So if copyright vanished, the studio making Angry Birds will probably be fine - after all, Angry Birds sold like a bazillion copies. If only some small percentage of those actually earned them money (because people say downloaded copies), they'd still be fine.

However the studio that has dozens of small successes, each of which sold a tiny number of copies, really can't afford to only make a small percentage of the money they really made.

Similarly, authors who aren't Stephen King, but rely on a steady stream of mildly-successful works, would no longer be able to be authors for a living.
It’s quite amazing how fast kindergarteners gets addicted to Minecraft. Here is a suggestion: create special version of Minecraft for kids below 10yr old. Discourage killings, shootings (even for animals) and encourage building. This “Kids Edition” has great chance of selling hot!
>Einstein made a tremendous contribution to a tower that was already quite tall, while Darwin's contribution was to the ground floor where everybody could get on.

I see your point, but if Darwin created a new field but Einstein contributed to an existing field, Darwin ought to be considered a greater genius. (Personally, I think it is better not to define anyone as a genius so that we can continue to evaluate their work critically.)

I'm saying that we value things we don't understand more than things we do understand.
“I AM” Affirmations for Abundance, Health, Happiness, Wealth
I think language coaching like this is misguided. It's just appealing to stereotypes. When I was out the last thing I wanted was more 'comfort'. I value sincerity as I think everybody does. If I just wanted stereotyped sympathy and compassion, I'd read a hallmark card.

People should say what they feel they should say. So many people seem determined to instead try to create some sort of kosher and clean model of behavior and speech that can be friendly with everybody, when in reality it more often just comes off as being insincere to everybody. And to take that a step further I think that is a major contributing factor the scourge of loneliness and weak 'real' social ties today. Two people saying what they think the other person wants to hear hardly makes for engaging conversation. The internet masks this artificiality by giving us that nice dopamine rush from seeing the points by our comments go up when we say 'the right thing', which this most certainly is not - yet it's an honest opinion, which I think is infinitely more valuable.
Great question, it's a little more complicated than one might think at first. In trying to build a "batteries included" experience I'd need to have per-view into your cluster and what VPC, Subnet and AZ you are running in I don't want to make this a configuration option so I need to build out a way to collect this information dynamically so that I can make sure we create DB subnets for the RDS to provision into. Then I need to configure depending on the engine (pg, mysql etc) the port and security group configuration. All in all the CFT and is more complicated and with the way the resources are code generated it requires heavy customization. All that being said it is well up on the top of my list to implement. Also always interested in letting other folks come and contribute if they feel inclined. :)

> They get paid by selling, directly or through middlemen, hard or digital copies of their work

Yes, but if other copies of this were essentially free, they wouldn't be able to sell these copies! (Or at least, probably only a small fraction).

> or simply get paid to create in the first place, via services like Patreon or by commission.

I'm a big Patreon fan and the rise of Patreon makes me very happy. However, it's worth noting that there are some problems with this model - for example, only art that pleases wealthy people will tend to get made under this model - it's better economics to target people living in rich Western countries over people living anywhere else. Also, only art that is kind of "acceptable" will tend to get made.

Art that is more experimental, less likely to be immediately popular, less likely to immediately catch the eyes of the rich audience - that kind of art will become less prevalent.
I'm not sure why you're voted down. Mobile Safari has thrown some really bizarre and awful bugs at a few projects I've worked on, and given how critical mobile experiences are these days, it's genuinely a pain in the ass. It's a very nice mobile browser for the most part, but what it gets wrong is enough to make me kind of loathe having to deal with it.
"Of course you could just register to vote by itself."

Though without an ID, you still can't vote in Texas. I don't believe voter suppression (and that's what all of this is) or gerrymandering is compatible with a functioning democracy. The harder it is to register and to vote, and the less your vote counts because of systemic manipulations, the fewer people will vote...not for lack of desire or right to vote. It always costs time to vote, and some folks don't have a lot of time to spare, due to work, or because they are caregivers for children or older family members, or because they have limited transportation options, etc., and in the end they often feel their vote won't count for anything (and, in Texas, they'd historically be right...we have among the most gerrymandering districts in the country, and we have among the strictest and most onerous voting laws).

"I would assume that Vote.org also is a person (which the deputy registrar statute seems to require) and they have been appointed such for every county in Texas, as it also seems to require."

Did you read the article, even a little bit? They discuss the fact that legal counsel was involved from the beginning of the process, discussions were had with the relevant counties, etc. They did everything by the book. The state just changed the rules afterward.
The two conditions

Depending on how the bike's mass distribution looks like. If the rear isn't very heavy, braking hard on the front will flip over the bike and you. For me it's anon-issue most of the time, as I have panniers which increase the rear weight so that doesn't happen, but when I don't have them I sometimes forget to adjust braking force.

Might also not be an issue for e-bikes, as those are generally heavier and probably less likely to raise the rear wheel while braking.
Why don’t they let people set a certain day in the week for major updates (E.g. Sunday), and only the most important micro updates are force-installed immediately?

Correct, they are on the roadmap, I've been waffling on the implementation because this could open security issues. I'm happy to say we'll at least be able to use k8s RBAC to gate who can get, list, create, update and delete the Roles but your security posture from the node perspective still will need to gate what the pods could assume. https://github.com/awslabs/aws-service-operator/issues/58 https://github.com/awslabs/aws-service-operator/issues/59 are the issues if you'd like to add any extra notes or check out the potential implementation.
