Yes, but by the time you turn off flags for the article in cases like this, it is already to late because your time based de-ranking algorithm has delisted it off the front pages. That's why a flag that simple prepends the title without delisting it would be good.
There is a substantial difference between owning your people and having a consistent system tracking their existence.

My major issue with the thought process that gets you to "having a national is a violation of my freedom" is that you only want to be invisible if the government is an actively hostile entity to you that you want to avoid. It is also the principal justification to the right to bear arms - you arm the citizens against a tyrannical government.

The problem is that in both cases - if you have a government that you want to hide from anonymously or a government you need to arm yourself against - you have a government you need to overthrow. You don't just exist in this state of armament or anonymity without taking action to depose the king and reclaim your liberty.

In both cases there are real, persistent, continuous costs of not having a centralized record of citizenry with secure id (because social security cards are not even close to secure) as there with keeping recreational firearms ownership so permissive. The former means people fall through the cracks and need to exert tremendous effort to prove they exist while the later costs life and limb all the time.

If US history has taught me anything (in regards to the history of most nations) its that when trying to preserve liberty its a fine line between disdainful paranoia and reasonable ambivalence. And American culture definitely falls towards the extreme on that spectrum in a, in my opinion, really unhealthy way. It just breeds controversy and arguments about ideology without anyone actually doing anything to improve the world they live in for either outcome... which is a generally common thread in US politics, to be fair.
systemd is interesting and innovative. But I do question whether the most baroque of the modern inits should be the de facto standard init.
ps -ef.

I'm more concerned about something like chrome/steam deciding that it's appropriate to start itself on startup and look for updates than malware that labels itself malware and tries to avoid things like ps. If the sort of malware that avoids ps gets on your system you've already lost.

We are absolutely on the same page about the draconian nature of US drug laws.

I think there can be a middle ground. The GTK being caught and brought to justice for instance. That is a concrete example of the good that can come out of this. A monster like that is an affront to society and he needed to be caught if only to show that there can be some justice in this world.

Someone posted a comment above mentioning Annie Dookhan which is an example of how wrong this can go. I think any rational person would be terrified of something like that happening to them. I certainly am. I don't think a blanket ban is the answer however. That would result in many egregious injustices to go unpunished as well. Any application needs to have a robust set of checks and balances in place. That really goes for any law enforcement investigative action though. No matter what we do there will be issues. I don't there is anything to gain on either end by trying to make this a zero sum game.
From my perspective, it always seemed that RHEL's big problem was that CentOS was easier to use. Whenever I set up a machine, I always reached for CentOS because to me it was the same thing, except I didn't have to ask for a license, I didn't have to securely store the license, I didn't have to enter the license, and I didn't have to document my strategies for handling those things.
A: I'm not that fond of Ford cars.

B: So you want to drive a horse-and-buggy then?

That is to say, there are quite a number of modern inits that are not systemd. It's such a straw-man argument to bring up sysv init every time someone says something critical of systemd.

Thanks! This was the most useful comment I've received.

Definitely agree. The only caveat is that reliable, robust psychological interventions are harder to come by.
No matter how you slice it, it amounts to “the poorest people can’t vote”.

Maybe you don’t even have bus fare. Maybe your car can’t make it 90 miles to the nearest DMV.

Also you’re really dismissing the fact that some people literally work all the hours the DMV is open. And when those people have their one or two days off, there’s other crap they have to get done.

I’m not saying we shouldn’t have voter ID... I’m just saying you’re being disingenuous by saying it doesn’t disenfranchise any voters.
I would also find this interesting, I switched from DDG to StartPage.com (proxied Google results) for this reason.
There is some baby and bathwater going on here. An assumption that everything to do with the Euro is bad and an assumption that everything bad is to do with the Euro.

For some people in Europe the Euro was a bit like when decimalisation happened in the UK - suddenly everything in every shop was marked up to be that bit more expensive. But people got over that, much like how people got over decimalisation in the UK, nobody wishes for 'pounds, shillings and pence' any more.

Trade is so much easier in Europe without the funny little currencies that there used to be. You don't get fleeced by people exchanging money from Lira to Francs to Deutschmarks to Irish Pounds and so forth. This helps the little guy as well as normal sized businesses.

In the pre-Euro days it was a regular thing to read stories about how places like Italy had shaved a few zeroes off their Lira due to hyperinflation. We don't have those stories now. I think the Euro has something to do with that. At least everyone in Europe has a currency that is worth something, before then half the European currencies were as useful as Monopoly money or crypto-ponzi-tokens.

There was also a lot of speculation on currencies in the pre-Euro days. Effectively 'pump and dump' schemes, some capitalist fat cats would get bored and pick on a currency to destroy. The only way to control this is to have restrictions on how much money people could travel with, so in pre-Euro days you might find yourself off on holiday to Greece or somewhere and not be able to take much more than pocket money with you.

History is generally written by people with an agenda who don't specifically lie to make their point (sell more books), instead they lie by omission. The Euro was not some dastardly neo-liberal scheme to economically colonise places like Greece and make things difficult for the German taxpayer. Saying so in fake academic b.s.-speak does not make it so. Europe has difficulties with things like Brexit, there is no need for reject 'scholars' from the IMF who aren't even European to stir people up into nationalistic fervour.

What next? An 'academic' who knows nothing about America could sell books on how the dollar has been a failed experiment and how the U.S. needs to have separate currencies per state. Sounds great, don't see why those nice folks in California should be bailing out those dossers in Detroit, right?

How well would business work inside the U.S. if you needed to change your New Mexico Pesos into Arizonan Pobble Beads each time you ventured out from Albuquerque for a day trip to the Grand Canyon? What if you only had Wyoming Whuffies and the stall at the inter-state border took 10% commission and claimed they only exchanged at a fraction of what you bought them for the day before?

That would make no sense at all, neither would it make any sense to have the Eurozone broken up into lots of currencies that can be played by the stock markets of London and New York for speculative gain.

I feel the opposite... I feel like React, by comparison, and JSX are much like the huge lego sets you used to be able to get generically... being able to plug in whatever I want. Angular feels like being stuck with a Duplo version of MindWorks.

As to JSX, it's something close to what I wanted a long time ago... when E4X was added to Mozilla's browsers, along with support for it with Flash/ActionScript3 and XML literal support in VB.Net (not that I love that language) ... interactivity to the UI was SO much simpler. The shame is it was never really supported in other browsers, which left it dead on the vine.

When JSX came out, it's REALLY close to what I already wanted, and in most cases better. In the end, I can compose a React/JSX component starting with a static render function in a file by itself... I can grow it and turn it into a class or wrap it in higher order components. Compose with extensions like react-redux, material-ui, react-jss with ease. Every single time I write an Angular component, I'm looking up configuration arguments for @directives. It's just painfully restrictive by comparison.

Simplest react component

// HelloComponent.js
import React from 'react';
export default ({name}) => <div>Hello {name}!</div>

// StatefulComponent.js
import Hello from './HelloComponent.js';
...
return <Hello name={this.state.name} />

That's off the top of my head... that's just the code you have to write... Now, do the same thing in Angular off the top of your head, I'm willing to bet it's a LOT more verbose, ugly and hard to remember/modify what you need.
Oh my God. I have been out of it for ten years. I got a seriously nasty flu in 2004 and never recovered. Lack of sleep, trying to work 40-50 hours per week with two babies at home to care for...

I lasted not quite 2 years then had to go on medical leave. I had amazing support from employer, my supervisor, and insurance. It took another 2 years of tests, then qualified to receive long-term pension.

Today is a particularly painful day. They call it ME/CFS and PVT.

Some people seem to get over this, within a year or two. One person I have met was crashed out for 20 years but claims to have recovered.

I used to have days that almost felt like normal, just enough to convince me that this is really tough and I am not imagining things.

There are days where I can barely walk. Most days are not quite that bad.

I have seen many medical centers, I have seen people who cannot get the 4-5 years of total support needed to either find effective treatment or to qualify for disability-insurance income. I have seen people who lose everything.

I can walk and talk and see my kids grow into awesome people. In a good neighborhood, great schools, a fantastic landlord. Lots of folks don't get that chance.

The point there is that most of the underlying user space plumbing of modern Linux system is in fact funded by Red Hat in one way or another.

(And in this context it is probably useful to realize that on the kernel side of things the amount of funding from Red Hat and IBM is comparable)
Great thread with lots of good answers and perfect timing too. As an HW(board level) guy pivoting into this space just recently here is my algorithm so to speak to get into this space. Please keep in my mind that I have always "worked with " FPGAs, just "Not worked on FPGAs".
1. Purcahsed Zynqberry FPGA from Trenz. Why? For the price you get the best documented FPGA dev kit on the planet. Thye have a great Wiki with good documentation. Do your own research but this is based on my own research. If you want to develope anything with FPGAs, then your options are down to the "X" and "A" companies. Solid toolchain and documentation and communities(Both official and SO).
2. work your way through the Vivado tutorials on the Xilinx wesite. They will walk you through creating a project from scratch all the way upto creating a variety of RTL projects integrting IPs(Xilinx or your custom that you created). It includes its own flavor of simulator where you learn to simulate your designs and perform timing analysis.
3. If you don't have the necessary Digital logic background either get a decent book or enroll in the Nand2tetris(someone else suggested that).
Surely if match type is compile time and there is no subtyping then it is basically a no-op type assert. I.e. it’s like writing (e : t) in ML?

Or is it supposed to allow for some kind of ad-hoc polymorphism like:

func foo(x) string {
match type(x) {
char** : return “an array of strings”
int : return “a number”
default : return “not sure”
}
}

And this gets transformed into something like:

func foo(Type x_t, x_t x) string {
match(x_t) {
pointer_t(pointer_t(char_t)) : return ...
...
}
}
Or Microsoft (who, after all, <heart>s Linux).

It's interesting how in filmed stories there are the 2 main types - movie and tv series, where the shorter movie seems the more serious/central/important/prestigious etc form, the opposite of the situation with short story/novella vs novel. That's just from the historical accident of people seeing movies in cinemas, and series on TV, I guess.

70min movies can work fine - the 68 min Detour (1945), one of the first noirs, doesn't seem too short at all. Rick and Morty at 22 or so minutes does more than most 1 hour tv shows - an hour at that pace might be too much. Also, it seems that in the first decades or 50 years of cinema, plenty of 10 and 70 minute stories were shown, but recently you get the 'main feature' and nothing else.

Most bicycles do avoid sidewalks, from what I've observed - I've seen many cyclists on the road and few riding on sidewalks.

I don't think there's much point in drawing a distinction between scooters and bicycles. They will have similar traffic considerations and both are a menace on the sidewalk. It'd be great if we could cater to both, but the answer isn't to bring scooters (or cyclists) onto the sidewalks.
It is interesting that you bring up SMF. For me systemd mostly seems like saner implementation of SMF.

I think there are different plateaus, for money there'll will be a point where it stops being as important as quality of social life, or quality of the work you do to earn it. However if you clear these plateaus I think you go back to money being the big factor.
If it was a sell-or-die situation IBM wouldn't have offered such a hefty markup over the market price and they would have used less cash and more shares to pay for it.

I think it's been obvious to everyone for a year or two that someone was going to buy Red Hat; I feel that no small part of their share price rising over the last 18 months has priced in that expectation.

Like everyone else I am mostly pleased that they didn't get bought by Oracle.

You are a bit unkind to the French: ideological affinity between American and French revolutionaires clearly went beyond their hatred for a common enemy, as proven by the overall shape of resulting Constitutions.

I do agree on the aims of the Eclipse project though.
I think it should also be a requirement to show a state or federal ID before you can cast your vote.

I’d be interested to know why though. Is it a problem in the US? In the UK at least, no ID is required and there is virtually no voter fraud. Is it really the case that the cost (disenfranchising groups with lower rates of access to photographic ID) is worth it to solve an issue that might not even exist?

I'm not sure how programming FPGAs compares to GPU programming, but it's a completely different way of thinking compared to traditional software.

The last time I really did FPGAs was over 10 years ago, but unless the tools have gotten orders of magnitudes better, in addition to the other concepts mentioned you need to understand clock domains, metastability, pipelining, etc.

I preferred VHDL to Verilog because you shouldn't need a lint checker for your HDL. But unless it's changed, Verilog is a lot more popular.

Training is available, for example https://www.xilinx.com/training/atp.html . It probably costs more than you're interested in paying, and you should have the basics covered first.
So if you figure that stories are composed of rises and falls, and they have to alternate, don’t you get this result automatically?
The Linux Kernel Is Now VLA (Variable-Length Array) Free
True, but for most people I’ve discussed Free Software with this is the case.

They think it’s a great idea, and would love if they could do everything they do currently with FOSS, and no extra time-investment. But, with few exceptions, that’s rarely possible, especially as more and more computing happens on phones.

Of course, the people I speak to about FOSS are by no means wholly representative. But IME it’s that software freedom tends to end up being considered a nice idea but a very low priority, rather than an idea with no benefits.
It sounds like you're talking about US movies only. There's a whole world of cinema out here. 'modern US cinema' =/= modern cinema. every US film =/= every film. Sounds obvious, but (to take one example) the majority of "Best films of the year" lists I come across online actually have only US movies, and seem oblivious that movies are made in any other country, let alone most of the good ones. 'Grown-up films' of the world, not just the USA, are thankfully not in such a sorry state as you describe. Well, the marketers/advertisers/etc that made people in the US think that 'movies' = 'US movies' did a great job.

>In the pre-Euro days it was a regular thing to read stories about how places like Italy had shaved a few zeroes off their Lira due to hyperinflation.

>We don't have those stories now. I think the Euro has something to do with that.

Yes, but it's not like Italian budget magically turned to proficit because of euro adoption. It still contains deficit, the one which EU is not happy about, and they are currently fighting with Italy. Maybe if lira was still italian currency, Italy devalued it a bit and that would be the end of the story.

Instead, there is a eurozone-wide problem of how to deal with populist italian government, and the cost of this problem is... €2.1 trillion (that's the amount of italian debt).

So, the problem was not resolved. It just was shifted into the future, with unclear implications.

Right. But too often, as gregmac said, "people send mass company emails with, for example, new policy or forms attached, and don't post them elsewhere". Email should be used for notification and ephemeral communication, and not for information dissemination. In that way it's the same as chat.

GDP growth, consumption growth, manageability of debt, standard of life, employment rate. The central question being not "how big is it because of the euro" but "is it better because of the euro"

Germany and Benelux are high but problematic in areas of consumption. 41% of the German Economy is export orientated (meaning consumption is extremely low) and while employment rates are high, employment isn't completely 'full time', wages lag productivity significantly (pay is relatively bad) and debts in the private sector are heavily problematic. Not to mention Germany's population demographics don't have a bright future.

Contrast this to economies with their own currencies - the UK, Sweden, Norway, Poland, Denmark - which aren't dogged down by such problems. Sweden had a housing crash last year and is managing just fine despite it.

If the EZ had another crash it would be debatable whether it can still hold strong - a point reinforced by France's Finance Minister himself.
