The reddit/HN arguments about the definition of "open source" pop up specifically because there are people stubbornly insisting upon subverting the definition of "open source" to mean something other than its official and formal and well-established definition per the OSI.

If the license does not meet the OSI's definition of "open source", then it is not open source. If the license does not meet the FSF's definition of "free software", then is it not free software. Case closed. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. These organizations have existed for decades, and the definitions they have formalized for their respective terminologies have in turn existed for decades. The meanings of "open source" and "free software" are perfectly clear, and the sorts of licenses being discussed - like those using the Commons Clause - are very clearly neither open source nor free software by those very same well-established-for-decades definitions.
The MacBook Pro 2016 and 2017 have a T1 chip, the MacBook Pro 2018 has a T2 chip, the same which debuted in the iMac Pro last year and is now in included in the new MacBook Air as well.

The linked repository covers Linux support for more all MacBook Pro's (and some parts of the 12" MacBook) released since 2016, even though Linux support for the 2018 MacBook Pro is very dire.
Free health care. Personal and family coverage. Had it at 2 jobs. Nothing out of per check other then the plan rates (co-pay, etc...)

Of course, nothing is free, but I don't think we earned less cause of it.

Monthly bonuses based on company performance was also nice, but it was like a sales company, so it could be tracked monthly / paid out monthly instead of year end.

Paying for parking now and it suuuuucks.
I misused the term. Thank you for the correction.
It would be cool if they released this as a captcha. I'm sick of teaching Google cars how to drive for free, but this I could get behind.
The argument is that memorization is the leading metric to learning. If critical thinking - which is what counters indoctrination - is the leading metric, then things are learned much more deeply than merely remembering information in contextual silos, devoid of interconnectivity that critical thinking allows and builds for.

A physician's "subject area" is "all" areas, and they too will refer to Google or other resources to confirm to themselves - similarly with medical advertising rampant in the US, it's often the patients who put ideas into the doctors' minds. Do they need 12 years of schooling to "know" everything - which will likely be outdated knowledge by the time they learn it? Or should we be training people to become experts at navigating systems of learning and specifics protocols to follow, so they are efficient and fluid?

Specialization is valuable for many reasons, though we don't seem to leverage or engage with that properly, yet.
This is exactly why AI was needed (and subsequently created) in the first place!

There's literally not enough land on the planet for everyone to eat free range beef.

As for the plantations: if we all cut out livestock from our diets, there'd be 9x less of them.

And what does "ideal" mean?
I'm not normally a picky eater, but seafood in general is one thing I have a really hard time bringing myself to enjoy. Also, from my very limited understanding, tilapia is fairly delicate to begin with, so it's more about making sure your cut doesn't include much of the grey fat.

With all of that said, I'm sure that for people who do enjoy seafood, it'd be quite tasty. The business near me was put together with eco-conscious people in mind, so the care they put into farming- nutrients, food for the fish, etc. I'm sure the difference between their fish and wild fish is a good deal smaller than stereotypical farm-vs-wild-caught salmon or what have you.

Most Metal programming (for shaders, at least) is done in C++, which it itself is written in.

> is it common for a mod to expose custom commands in chat or something?

Yes, it's quite common for mods to expose custom commands, although these are not raw Lua functions but rather "slash commands", e.g. /foo

Other than for messaging/chat, the chat box can also be used for various commands for actions your character should perform, e.g. /wave, /target, /sleep and the game also has a built-in macro system that lets you combine several of these into a "macro" that you can then execute by pressing a single button. But these are all "safe", i.e. they don't eval raw Lua code.

There are some WoW quest-tracking websites that will sometimes give you little snippets of Lua to execute via /run that will e.g. query the game about whether you completed the given quest, but in general normal users shouldn't need to use /run, it's more of a feature for mod developers.
While I find it highly unlikely, it does raise an interesting point about Fermi's Paradox, which is that even if there were enough alien life out there for its discarded light sails to go hurtling through our solar system every once in a while, we might not get any more evidence of it than this article demonstrates. So, it's almost certainly not a light sail, but even if it were, we would never know.

Why are you presenting this as a dichotomy? Those aren't mutually exclusive features. If I had to choose between the 2, then I would most certainly choose the fingerprint reader, but there isn't anything that fundamentally prevents the two from being in the same phone (the original Pixel had both, for example).

"iPad Pro faster than most PC laptops"

As shown with keyboard and pencil, the apple care without which you will pay out the rear to replace the battery god forbid you drop it a TB of storage and cellular capability you are looking at around $2500.

The average pc laptop costs what $700 and is probably at that 1-3 years old, not exactly a compelling argument to spend thousands of dollars and replace the laptop with a tablet.
I'm using btrfs on home computer (with compression enabled) on big storage HDD (games, videos, photos etc.), primarily because of compression and easiness of creating and mounting subvolumes without making new partitions. For regular root / home partition on NVMe I'm using XFS which is faster.
I have no sympathy for DeVaul's behavior. Based on what I know of the details of the situation, I probably would have supported his firing at the time of the incident.

I might still now. However, since he has been allowed to continue to work there, has his behavior reformed or not? If it has, then it's not clear what benefit there would be in his firing now.
Yeah, I got really used to it! On the new devices without a home button it’s a little tricky to find that functionality since it’s disabled by default.
I think urea will be in sweat mainly in the case of damaged kidneys, not under normal conditions. Not sure about that though.
As another comment pointed out, the actual title of this article is ‘Oumuamua, Thin Films and Lightsails. While the question "Could ‘Oumuamua be debris from a technological civilization, a discarded lightsail?" occurs in the article, this title does the article a clickbaiting disservice.

Pretty much.

The activities part is very experimental. I basically realised that I suck at planning my evenings and it's hard to disconnect unless a pasttime activity draws you in and shifts your focus.

That said, definitely looking for suggestions. Maybe a reminder to "plan evening activities for the following days" might be more suited than "ideas for what to do NOW".

This is a nice idea, I've been looking for things like this to read. But my interest is more about generic systems, not that much about end-user software.

You are talking about "trade-offs" and I had a similar idea about "Values". With this values you would be able to derive the "Rules" (the HOW you mentioned) depending on the context and chosen trade-offs.

About it I think the 17 unix philosophy rules are very interesting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_philosophy#Eric_Raymond%E... and I also started to write a blog about it https://github.com/JpOnline/Blog/blob/master/language.md
If that is a discarded lightsail, maybe it's payload is right now decelerating towards Sol. THAT would be something (pun intended).
I think part of the problem here is that you're automatically assuming that a "good" standard of living must involve driving cars, eating meat all the time, and traveling in inefficient ways.

The rant is about interaction design in computer screens, but the points made here are easily transferred if we treat the tools & the environment surgeons work in as a user interface.
This is quite a neat idea. A couple of people have mentioned Jupytext around here. I found a guide with animations which appears like it might do what you want. [0]

I personally look forward to trying this out, as it means that I can use Jupyter in a way that doesn't mean adapting my workflow to the tool so much.

And yet, when I graduated med school, I could do basic stitches and things like a low-level excisional biopsy. I got better at this in residency (I'm a family doc by training, and we have some surgical training), but we had to have those skills before we graduated. Every single student did, from radiologists to psychiatrists, and I even had a little sign off book for that purpose. If you're in a surgical residency and you can't do the basic tasks like suture a wound before you become a surgical intern, you're in trouble, because your first night on call you're going to be doing one. This guy isn't really exaggerating that this is a problem. Residency hones your skills; it doesn't build them.
Joined a company as a very early employee. The company became successful (200+ employees, mid 8 figures revenues), but founders just won't sell it: instead of humbly admitting the luck we had (it's always about luck, I was in the front row seat the whole time so I can definitely and objectively state it) and take risk off the table, they are doubling down trying to make it much bigger (targeting mid 9 figures revenues, and they just took a HUGE investment round with a stellar valuation, which essentially prices us at beyond-perfect execution, so it's significantly risky). In the meantime, I am completely burned out and would just like to put an end to this adventure which lasted 5+ years, but I can't.

I can't leave due to my stock options otherwise expiring (standard 90 days window), and I don't want to put the liquidity necessary to exercise them and leave, too risky due to the appreciation of those shares, nor I want to take out a loan or stuff like esofund which will eat into 50% of my profits, and would still leave me with a taxable event if the company went belly up and the loan was forgiven. So, I'm a typical example of "golden handcuffed".

So, my "never again": never again work for founders who are already rich and are not looking for a reasonably early exit in case of success. My fault for not checking during the interview process, but I was young and naive.

If the founders were not already extremely affluent, I could assure you they would have already sold the company by now (probably at the 2-3 years mark), very likely realizing low 8 figures profits for themselves (and low 7 figures profits for me), whereas they are now shooting for high 8/low 9 figures for themselves, "hurting" me by exposing me to insane time cost opportunity, and also making the whole thing much riskier since as you grow your acquirer pool shrinks dramatically.

Realistically, I end up being a rest and vest employee, meaning I don't do much work these days, and I likely won't get fired since I have so much context, so I spend a lot of my working time avoiding getting burned out and mostly learning about new technologies, but it's still much less than ideal and it's hurting both me and the company.

At the same time, my emotions these days are very weird and nothing I ever thought I would ever experience: I am usually equally happy if the announced quarter results are a big win (meaning my equity valuation is preserved) or a big loss (meaning we are approaching the end of this company so I'll be free without having to voluntarily forfeit a potentially large payout).
Local meat and McDonalds factory farm meat still require the same amount of cow. Buying the same amount of meat from a different source incurs the same environmental costs.

You also need to ban Airbnb otherwise people will just Airbnb in the suburbs/residential areas and then Uber to the Touristy areas. Then locals will have to deal with gentrification and congestion during tourist season.
In theory `information_schema` is supposed to be universal, so you could do `select table_name from information_schema.tables`. However, getting useful information out of `information_schema` tends to require fairly complex queries and still has quirks and differences between databases.
Do you have a recent kernel? Filesystems get fixes only with kernel updates.
> You're looking forward to development tools that have neither refactoring nor auto completion.

On the contrary, I have found C and C++ to have the best refactoring and autocompletion tools of most of the languages I have tried, since usually the compiler is involved at some point and you can make non-trivial guarantees about identifiers based on types.
No Steve, please don't do this. This will mess up everything.

I was thinking that F2FS might be a good filesystem as a base on which you'd use an object storage abstraction layer (like ceph)...

However since I initially saw the news of these drives a few days ago Samsung also axed some Linux devs, which gives me pause and makes me reconsider the long term viability of this filesystem...

Jailbreaking will never be mainstream when people worry about the warranty on their 1k-2k+ devices. If you want people to own their own devices you will have to write it into law presumably in a more consumer friendly jurisdiction than the US which cares about business first last and only.
You keep answering about yourself, I'm talking about the entire industry. For every one of you, there were 100 people who used MongoDB because its "fast, cool, noSQL".

It's great that you research, but many do not. Hype, jargon, and excessively misleading terms are real, and they make a measurable impact on productivity and confusion. This is why marketing and branding is so important when naming, and its why there should be an effort made to use better terms.

I still haven't heard a single argument on why we shouldn't do better, other than that you can handle it. Good for you, but that's not the point.
The small number of people who still have dexterity will build a small number of robots, which then build a larger number of robots ...
I'm sympathetic to the complaint about price, but if your contention is that the devices are basically unchanged, then why buy a 2018 model? Why not buy a 2014 model?

And if you don't want to make that sacrifice, then there's probably something different about the device that Apple is assuming is worth ponying up for the upgrade for you.

(For starters, despite the similar clock speed and processor names, the processors are not the same speed.)
Yes, though the problems are real.

In its current form Kubernetes can only handle a cluster size of 5,000 nodes: https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/cluster-large/ and high-churn batch workloads don't work well.

Kubernetes does support elastic resource sharing (assuming I understand what they need) via horizontal pod scaling and the cluster autoscaler: https://github.com/kubernetes/autoscaler/tree/master/cluster.... Although there are rough edges here, I was surprised by the quality of the code in the cluster autoscaler. I kept thinking of new edge cases and expected it to fall over, only to find out that they'd thought of that problem and it handled it gracefully.

For batch workloads something like Argo can help: https://github.com/argoproj/argo.

So basically I agree, it probably would've made more sense to build something on top of Kubernetes. But Uber's a big company with a lot of engineers so I guess they have the resources to roll their own solution.
As a heavy iPad Pro user, the number one thing I’m looking forward to is magnetic pencil charging. With kids around, the old way of sticking it into lightening port is just asking for trouble — and I never have the dongle around for cable charging when I needed it. The grooved shape of the pencil looks like an ergonomic improvement.
That is actually not too far of from what Dell is doing with their SSD prices when you configure a system. Or memory for that matter. So I'm not really sure what all that comparison fuss is all about. I never see a "I just built a cheaper system with same specs" comment for a Dell system.

Also: I do not own a Mac
scanning over the article > "clean" in the headline and "green" first paragraph leaves me confused, also the two following paragraphs are titled "clean and green" and then talks about fines...followed by "a 'fine' city" (pun intended?). So in what way does punishment affects 'green' solutions? What solutions are you looking for? In what way would incentives work? 'Mentality change' is also an interesting one...Too many questions
I feel like they failed to do proper incentive modeling for crowdsourcing (or maybe I just don't understand the target audience).

Recaptcha(v1) also does transcription correction but they incentivize a huge pool of users to help, not because they want to help, but because they need to prove they aren't robots.

Here we need to rely on volunteers? I am not sure if transcribing old documents is rewarding enough for people to do it out of good will. It's not low effort like Folding@home where you can just set and forget. It requires a lot of repetitive and lonely effort!
they do not allow you to go to 1TB SSD, but they won't allow you upgrade from a dual-core i5. Feels like a political decision more than a technical one.

Smells like a battery life compromise to me.
Why not both? The OP asked what they could do. It's an option.

Per the site, apparently not (guess the "can't charge" rationale works both ways)
Is that kind of like plea bargain though?

More trouble and potential negative repercussions than to fight about it than just fess up and make it go away?

I don't know the specifics of this case, could well not be, just wondering if it's possible.

Well, we don't know for sure that Linux will boot on the new MacBook Air as well, as nobody has tried it yet, but I think it's safe to assume we'll have the same situation as for the MacBook Pro 2018. In addition to the mentioned limitations the MacBook Pro 2018 doesn't even support accessing the SSD from Linux yet. A few seconds after activating the NVMe controller it just reboots, apparently because the T2 chip isn't happy (see https://github.com/Dunedan/mbp-2016-linux/issues/71 for details). Help to figure out what's the issue would be really appreciated!

You might leave but many other employees wouldn't, for the usual reasons (apathy, money, livelihood, prestige, etc). Obviously it's not a big deal for Google X since they kept their accused exec. It's only a big deal now because it's in the public eye again.

Also, I'm sure a lot of employees weren't, and maybe still aren't, even aware that an accused man still works at their company. Most employees at any company don't have reason to be in contact with or have any information whatsoever about the executives of that company and, apart from that, businesses will work hard to keep that info under the radar.

Mass layoffs definitely get around in the workplace because it's directly related to everyone's job security. Some exec accused of sexual assault doesn't really affect job security, so most people don't really care to know, if they ever catch wind of it anyways. There isn't a huge cost here when the majority of your workforce doesn't know and doesn't care.
external Border Gateway Protocol. BGP is a routing protocol used to share reachability information thru independent routing domains; iBGP is when you use BGP to manage your own networks. eBGP is what is spoken between different AS (Autonomous Systems) across the core (routers without a default route) internet. You'll often read "Country X lost 50% of traffic for N hours due to eBGP issues".
Although unlikely to be a lightsail I think, this reminds me of the Rama series by Arthur C. Clark. I really wish someone like HBO, Netflix, or Starz would pick that series up and make a show out of it.
I would love it if there were an app like Termux for iOS (if there is, and I’ve missed it, please let me know!). On Android, Termux lets you use the local command line in some sort of chroot where you can install packages with apt. If this were made available to iPad users and it integrated well with Xcode (one of the issues with sandboxing), it wouldn’t be very far off from the macOS experience.
The counter factual simulation features are amazing and easy.
Personally, I am waiting for GOOG stock to drop, partly in relationship to my essay.
I just priced out the Carbon X1 with similar CPU/RAM/SSD and it costs $1331 (vs $1399) -- plus the Lenovo has a slightly larger screen with lower weight and normal USB ports. I don't think it moves the needle for Mac fans, but it definitely moves the needle for people who are ambivalent between the two.
What's the problem then?

The fact the Macs run pretty much only Mac OS reliably is the biggest reason I'm not buying Apple.
why didn't they include an ADB port?
