>> Wordpress core continues to be basically a simple blog engine

I think you need to think beyond personal and marketing blogs. WordPress is much much more...

Quartz (qz.com) is built on WP. So was Wired (wired.com) and The New Yorker (www.newyorker.com). I had a hand in both The New Yorker and Wired and may other large media companies are built on WP.

To characterize it as a "simple blog engine" is mis-leading.

Gutenberg, while having its teething problems, is a big change. Big changes will cause upheaval. It will cause both petty and important disputes to rise to the surface.

I think this is no different.

Arguments denigrating outgroups as genetically unworthy will always find an eager audience at HN. It's no wonder that outgroups are, and will continue to remain, underrepresented -- such disparagement is a potent mechanism of exclusion.

The difference here to me is the more normal crazy car modification scene isn't mucking around with systems that take control of the car, it's modifications to how the car operates and handles but it's the 'driver replacement' that Tesla's autopilot is used as (as much as the companies try to insist that it's an assist we've seen people don't pay as much attention to these semi-autonomous cars as they should as the driver). So we're talking about a system that already has problems with errors and driver attention being patched together where the myriad subtle errors will be completely hidden from the user.

That's the fundamental difference to me between this kind of mod and the more traditional soup up etc modifications.

As someone who has always loathed Wordpress and everything connected to it and its ecosystem, I've switched over a Wordpress install I—reluctantly—voluntarily maintain in my spare time, and been extremely pleasantly surprised.

I've worked with Wordpress a lot over the years, so I'm very familiar with its inner workings: this is what's largely motivated me to avoid it when possible, and unfortunately prevented me from contributing to the project.

Given my initial reaction to Gutenberg, I'm imagining the community at large will hate it. The Wordpress community is one that champions amateur, dangerous, big-ball-of-mud software development, under the guise of being "beginner friendly" (where "beginner" = "not experienced enough to be leading clients to believe they can provide professional-grade solutions"). This is a mindset that favours hacks and tech debt. over refactoring, and Gutenberg is definitely going to force both plugin and theme developers to rethink, and rewrite their approach (in a positive way, imo).

If it successfully brings Wordpress out of the dark-ages, that's great obviously. If it makes Drupal more pleasant and easy-to-use for editors: also nice. If it kills Wordpress due to its community migrating away, then at least it could leave room for some more modern competitor.

I just hope the core devs don't do a U-turn on Gutenberg.
Seems an odd read in the post ICO world.

Why deal with any of that headache when you can just launch a landing page/white paper and ask for money from the public to fund your idea without giving up equity or control.

For a 9/11 situation, I would ask that the case should be reviewed by a judge who'd mandate an injunction (or similar) to deliver source code. In a national security situation, I'm sure the judge will work quickly, and you will still get your NSA cup. Everyone's happy.

There are laws and a constitution, you can't just throw it out the window at the first phone call.
What about it? It doesn't solve the problem, it just allows you to conveniently package everything you can't rely on the distro having, which is basically everything.
How is your battery life?

I also installed ubuntu on my xps, and I'm only getting about 2 hours max, although I always keep it plugged in, so it's not a real issue for me.

As for hardware issues, I had to download wireless drivers, which was a slight pain since there is no ethernet port.

I was able to get my video card working with optimus, but that wasn't non trivial.

I wound up disabling my track pad and using a mouse since I couldn't type without the cursor doing something, and it seems like one of the trackpads buttons broke after a days use.
As a long-term user (2014/2015), I shall say this is nice but... it is kind of late.

I always wondered why Terraform Enterprise / Atlas was in its simple incarnation a tool to be used in CI/CD tooling in form of a containerized app with a selection of storage drivers.

That would be a use case applying to hundreds - if not thousands - of companies, and even big players on the market. Those might want the UI with policies too.

Who wants to give a tool / backend full access to their infrastructure and not be the one to control all aspects of that tool?
Thanks for the link. The list is solid. I have seen them being talked about many times in various threads here. Bookmarked.
Exactly. I've used all 3 major OSs and when we get into these discussions, you have to look at how each has its own pain points to be fair. Overall, Linux is a clear win for me. But YMMV, indeed.
can you also do something about the clickbait title?

>Apple Just Killed...

iOS 12 was released weeks ago, so the exploit wasn't just killed as the title says.
> Well I've got reboot into Windows now anyway so why bother sifting through Stack Overflow for hours trying to fix Ubuntu.

For the rare occasions I wanted to wipe clean my Linux install without inflicting any pain on myself, I keep everything that lives under my home folder on a separate filesystem. This way, I can easily wipe the OS clean and not worry about my data.

A similar setup for dual booting can be handy, provided the other OS can use the filesystem I keep my important data in.

Having said that, the only times I experienced problems like the ones you describe was when I was so bored I decided Debian Sid would be a fine work OS. In other words, I was asking for it. What have you been doing to your machine?
It is very strange that the thrust of the piece is defined as:

Waking up early is good for capitalism, but not good for your own interests

As opposed to:

Waking up early is good for your career interests given that you work in a capitalist system, but not good for your other interests

Anthropomorphizing capitalism and portraying its grand stance as a monolith that demands more time and sweat be thrown into it (for the good of Capitalism!) sure is a nice literary touch. But its a very subversive way of appealing to people's self pity. I can feel the implicit assumptions of language embodied within this article chewing on my mind and damaging the definitions I need to be able to rely on.
Ask HN: Configuration Management for laptops?
I'm looking at Config Management for lpatops. Are there systems that work well for laptops, as opposed to servers? Laptops are different because:

- they aren't always on (basic cron doesn't work, have to use @daily or similar)

- users don't know and don't care about background processes, so will suspend (close lid)
and reboot at random (as far as the OS is concerned)

- they are often disconnected from the internet

- need to take care of user "states" (mainly for installed packages, diff users use diff packages)

I can educate users, teach them to update list of packages they want to install in a git repo rather than installing packages directly, I can also ask them to run an "update" regularly when they are connected to the internet and will leave the laptop on rather than use cron etc...

I have used basic bash scripts, which worked well after the initial OS install. Then used ansible pull, with complicated bash script to determine if ansible was already running, had access to git repo, pull git repo, kill failed ansible sessions etc..., which allowed continuous upgrade and the push of some new configs. Major ansible changes made me reverse to bash scripts. What else is out there? Runing local Salt minions? Will they have all the same issues as ansible?

When writing my own stuff in bash, I feel like I'm re-inventing the wheel, but "bash" has outlived everything else, no major version changes, my 10 year old scripts are still working fine, ansible/salt etc.. didn't exist 10 years ago and aren't tuned for laptop life.

Is there something well suited for laptops?

What do you use (for others, not just yourself)?

Ubuntu works great for me and has done on every machine I have installed it on over the last decade or so. I find that the support for drivers is much better than with Windows except for when it comes to wi-fi. This means I have a drawer full of external wi-fi dongles and miscellaneous folders full of drivers that don't quite work.

Despite this I find Ubuntu to be a much more productive OS than the alternatives available.

What I do not understand is why people are so willing to give Ubuntu a hard time. On any discussion there are people from Windows or OSX that point out their negative experiences of Linux whilst being blind to the deficiencies of their own paid-for OS. It seems as if it is easy to write 'yeah I tried Linux for a couple of weeks five years ago and I thought the start menu was naff plus I couldn't get x to work' or to moan about the command line aspect.

It is much harder to write constructively so any discussion of Linux comes down to many subjective judgements.

>Cars aren't scrapped after five years.

No, of course not. But fleet owners buy new ones every five years or less. Typically the old cars are sold on the used market. Which means there is always a market for new cars, and a steady availability of used ones.

But the point is: fleet owners turn their inventory over much faster than the cars wear out.

Which is fine, it's not like the developers of sway owe me anything. My point is just that if your goal is to increase the adoption rate of your software that you're pouring so much time into, and you want that software to be successful, this is exactly the opposite way to do it.
WASM is basically the formalisation of asm.js. Therefore writing javascript code that rivals WASM is possible by definition but writing fast Rust/C++ code is much easier than trying to do the same with javascript (it won't look like javascript).
I freakin' love Linux as a personal workstation OS. I got into it in 1995, back in the days when Linux was punk rawk and you had to dig around on tsx-11 and sunsite to find things to run on it. I still dual-booted Windows there for a few years. Then I noticed something: Windows would, suddenly and without warning, stop working. As in, blue screen on first boot. All the way up through Windows 2000 -- 9x, NT, didn't matter. Windows would find a way to fail and, often as not, take the whole disk partition with it.

So I decided, okay, Microsoft, if that's the way you're gonna be, fuck you. Yeah, yeah, I know. Windows "Just Works" out of the box. Except when it doesn't, in which case you're up shit creek. The extra tweaking I had to do to get Linux fully going was well worth it because once Linux was configured, it would stay that way -- forever if need be.

For that reason I still run the same distro today as I did back then -- Slackware. Where other distros try to win you over with newness and shininess, Slackware is shibui. Shibui is the Japanese aesthetic of crafting simple objects out of natural materials, in such a way that the natural texture of the material shows through and gives the object an understated beauty. Slackware is a simple distro put together in such a way that the "natural texture" of Unix shows through, making it easy to configure to your liking provided you're willing to learn the command line and some basic configuration files. It's very much like a BSD in that regard.

I know I'm not a typical user, but I fit the profile of an ordinary Linux user from another era. I'm glad to see more and more Windows users give Linux a try, but I just hope there'll still be room for people like me in the vast and changing Linux ecosystem.

That isn't that difficult if your competitors also make their drivers open source. There is no doubt in my mind, that nvidia already has a team looking at every commit AMD and Intel make to their Linux drivers. If one of them started using their IP, nvidia would know.

Part of my problem with the way I've seen people get corrected "with free speech" is that there seems to be no tolerance for making mistakes, and no time allowed for people to think. You're assumed to be a bigot if you're not already 100% on board the PC train. It seems quite unreasonable given that most peoples' experiences with transfolk can be measured in seconds.

Is there anything you disagree with? Or do you simply dislike the conclusion?

Five million euro of tax payer money have been blown on a Neanderthal genome. All we got out of it is a hyper sensitive analysis that picked up an artifact (source: first hand experience with the raw data) and called it admixture. But it's a high profile publication thanks to the catchy headline and more tax payer money flows in the same direction.

This wouldn't have happened if the bureaucrats who presided over the grant money knew anything about the science and looked into the methods. Or maybe it would have happened anyway, because this was never science but just a publicity stunt. Either way, funding "science" this way is bad.
