Its more that for claims you are making, people want to see something more concrete than someones word, especially in a topic that has a bunch of snake oil going around.

In my brief searching it looks like one might be able to train up to doing longer periods of going without water, but there seems to be a lack of study on the matter (probably hard to get a study past a review board due to the danger you are placing people in).
SICP Goodness – Mutable Data (II)
Personal anecdote time - I have, three times. Some of it I think is just easy to forget over the years, simply because it's not repeatable. And like the post eventually gets to, it's pretty indirectly tied to money, but all relies upon it:

* About two months after getting my first full-time job, actually seeing my savings go up.

* After buying a place and moving in, something that wasn't possible without having enough money. Note that moving out of my parents' house and into a rented apartment didn't do it, but buying did.

* Upon paying off my mortgage, doing some math and realizing early retirement through financial independence was actually a possibility.
How do you avoid a sales tax by paying cash? I don't understand that at all.

Sure, the tax can't go back in time and make up for the poor system we have now. But you have to start somewhere - at least we could get on the right track.
Do you have some hints on effectively using DDG, based on that experience?
To some degree they have opened the Power9, which is hardware. For hardware it's like leaps and bounds more open than anything else out there that can compete with it.

RISC-V is more open, but the hardware isn't necessarily open, and it's not yet really competing at the same scale as Power9 does... yet. There is hope :)
Yeah, 10 years down the line RHEL is pretty much guaranteed dead. Probably say goodbye to Fedora as well.
Arbitrary precision decimal floating-point for PHP 7
Since Q is already a component of T, this would cause both to decline even faster. The more you value your off-time, and the less you have, the less happier you'll be.

What you're looking for is W, the happiness you get from your work. To modify the equation again:

M + T*Q + W = H
"A harm reduction approach with drugs would drastically reduce"

NO. Harm reduction in Vacouver at INSITE has basically done nothing. The area around the clinic is a thriving cesspool, worse than it ever was.

The data used to validate 'harm reduction' doesn't even help them: they talk about 'avoided deaths form overdose' as though someone od'ing in an alley would have died fro their od and not had access to ambulances.

It's not really that much more dangerous to shoot up 'in an alley' than in a clinic, surprisingly - you'll eventually have access to an ambulance either way and most OD's are not 'instant death' anyhow.

It's the practice/behaviour that kills, the OD is the instance.

The most obvious benefit is that users can get access to clean up programs etc. but there doesn't seem to be evidence that is materially working.

Vancouver has an entire industry of drug related 'harm reduction' approaches - and yet, the problems continue to thrive. It would seem those policies haven't made a dent, and there might be better ways to spend that money to solve the problem.
I totally agree that the marketing hype is ramped to the maximum. This is a result of the abysmal lack of consumer protection in US advertising laws. A large portion of advertising in the states is making overblown promises and unfortunately that is the standard. Tesla is not an outlier when it comes to over hyping their products.

Unfortunately so. I really wish advertisers were held to higher standards

I think you are right about the number of elections. I see American commericals for electing sheriffs, school board trustees etc etc. These people should be promoted based upon performance, experience and skill, not a popularity contest.
Purple hat
Because they're cheaper. I lived in counties that formerly used mechanical voting machines. They were replaced by electronic ones when the cost of maintaining them became higher than the replacement cost. If security was considered at all, I speculate that it was not the highest priority.
I know way too many unemployed physicists to believe for one second that there is a shortage of STEM graduates. The shortage must be of some other trait or skill.
Microsoft will probably buy Ubuntu now

Canonical is basically bankrupt
oohhh..maybe we can finally get some laptop drivers written for linux!
This has been my experience too, and not when it was released. I was playing with some of their APIs last month and it was horrible: CORS issues, high latency, random failures or server errors for no reason.
Charlie Warzel writing on Buzzfeed reacting to recent events he has read about online complete with a ridiculous click bait headline epitomizes everything that's wrong with the confusion between 'news', 'opinion' and even 'satire' in our blurred world of 'feeds' and information overload.

Free speech and investigative reporting and writing is essential in a functioning democracy. This is the former but just an inflammatory opinion piece. ('Why toxic online behavior is spilling into the streets').
Red Hat already had too much grip on Linux, it will be interesting how this all plays when IBM steps in.

In other shocking news Poeterring now works for IBM? Can we blame IBM for systemd in the future?
Been full DDG almost as long and now I can't go back. It gives me much better results than google does.
You win! Truth

I know. It is perfectly OK. I will bever be a fan of systemd.
That's a nice idea but ignores all the people sitting in their offices or homes, choosing to go or not go out of their places down to the bus stop.

Better to consider each bus stop as an asset to invest in, the more valuable it is, the more people you can serve.
That is why I opt for a wealth dependent income tax. If your wealth is already very high you basically won’t notice a higher tax on your income :https://politics.stackexchange.com/questions/9421/why-not-ha...
OpenBMC is worked on by the OzLabs group (which is the core of some of their mainframe BMCs), as well as lots of work around POWER9 and s390. Don't get me wrong, they are a proprietary shop at the end of the day, but they do an incredible amount of free software work.
Ask HN: How do you generate leads for B2B SaaS company?
Can you share some of your actionable items to generate leads for B2B SaaS product? The product is a technical recruitment software? I am not sure about cost per lead for US demographics.
Hypothetically, every car driver on the road can run people over. Doesn't mean we should treat drivers with a record of reckless and dangerous driving with the same caution as those without such a record.
Debian with no malware tool, except ad blocking extensions for firefox. For windows friends, I recommend tools included in Windows + ad blockers + basic education about .exe files that are not the same as mp3s. I think that most problems come from ads and from trying to download movies/songs but downloading viruses instead.
Is there evidence of a well-defined physiological mechanism rather than merely being a symptom cluster that might be purely psychological? Some brief Googling suggests that CFS is sometimes precipitated by various viral or bacterial infections, which is a step in the right direction, but I haven't read anything yet that rules out the alternative hypothesis that this is a (cluster of related) psychological disorders that is sometimes prompted by a life event. The dozen patient organizations campaigning for recognition is a bit of a red flag.
Did they try to subpoena the information? The Feds have a constitutional right to this information. Or did they just look for the first road block so that they could say "oh we tried to look into it, but we were foiled by those dastardly Democrats"?
RHEL is not a synonym for Linux.
That's interesting - I had such thoughts as well, way back after my first experience writing significant quantities of C++ (03 back then) in the industry.

And yes, I think this would require an interpreter, and some kind of shadow memory as you describe (that keeps track of type and lifetime metadata associated with bytes). In fact, I think it would even have to be multi-level segmented memory, with segment per each object (including subobjects!), to fully enforce rules such as out-of-bounds array access, and comparing pointers to different objects.

It could be an interesting exercise. And if written in a verifiable language, the result could, in theory, be declared the specification for the memory model.
IBM to acquire Red Hat in deal valued at $34B
Maybe in USA.
Yeah, I wish you could migrate messages to a thread retroactively.

BTW, it's not a read barrier but a load barrier. It's not encountered every time when reading an object field, but only when reading object reference that's stored on the heap (i.e. loading it into a register).
New IBM hire, software developer. So far; I've taken part of 3 separate events where I was essentially sat through a presentation on why I should file patents (so they could farm IP off of me and my peers). IBM is a pathological company, and definitely not good news for open source.
Not on the sidewalk
I’m just saying we shouldn’t connect the two, not that it’s impossible.

Also, the UK is far smaller than the US, making the infrastructure probably a bit more tractable.
Well, at least my shares of DEBN just shot up.
Paper ballots are the superior method of voting. It makes it nigh impossible to cheat at a large scale and there's a paper trail verified by multiple adversarial parties. It's also way more reliable due to the sheer simplicity of the system. For a system as important as our elections we should take every precaution possible.

Maybe I'm paranoid, but I don't even trust mail-in ballots. I'm perfectly content to fill out my ballot ahead of time and hand-deliver it on election day.

I think it should also be a requirement to show a state or federal ID before you can cast your vote. I'm always floored when people try to defend voting without requiring any kind of identity verification. In Puerto Rico you're required to register ahead of time for a voter ID and you must present it in order to vote. If Puerto Rico, which is drastically poorer than all 50 states, can pull this off without it being considered a problem then I find it really hard to take seriously the claims of people saying it sets too high of a bar.
Wow. Not good for Red Hat in the long-term. Feels like the Sun takeover by Oracle a few years ago. Maybe they can maintain their efficient internal structures, but i have the feeling they will get caught in IBM internal power struggles and politics and lose their hands-on problem solving power.
What blows me away is that the US had not discovered 'regular scooter' culture.

I mean the scooters like mopeds.

They are common in almost every country outside North America!

In Paris you see this beautiful girl, flowing dress, like out of a magazine - and she's on her moped! Out to dinner or whatever, it's normal.

They are cheap and they take up the same space as a bicycle. If SF made a few 'moped / bicycle' only streets, like a grid in downtown, where traffic just flew by and was fast ... maybe you'd see tons of people make the switch.
It wouldn't solve that, but it would prevent the code from running with data that is incorrect according to type annotations. Think of it as a runtime assert that is automatically generated from the compile-time type annotation.

(Unfortunately, the JS runtime object model does not allow for such runtime type checks to be performed with reasonable performance.)
I want this, too. It seems there have been a few companies to do it, but never cheaply. Something more than $1000? Forget it. Just give me a simple plexiglass dome and be done with it.
This is just as well, as I'm moving quite a bit to Net and OpenBSD. I'm tired of the Linux drama (systemd, CoC, balkanised standards, etc.) the broken stuff between distros. The slower changes for BSD development typically means more stable software. And ZFS. Plus, I actually prefer the ICS/BSD license for software in general, as it's maximally free.
I've found over the years, that my BSD boxes are far and away more stable than their Linux counterparts. I do devops mostly, so stability and long-term availability are key factors. ext4 is getting long in the tooth and btrfs is nowhere near ZFS in stability or ability or I/O. I've never had a BSD system crash unexpectedly other than bad HW. I cannot say the same for Linux, even RHEL.
I feel like a kid again in many ways, because I get to explore all the cool things the BSDs can do again. I'm even moving my Raspberry Pi over to NetBSD in the coming days as a prototype platform to explore BSD embedded possibilities.
public companies are beholden to their shareholders. Enough shareholders liked the premium they were being offered...

It's not good, but it's the peril of most public quoted companies.
Yea, it is frustrating that these driver assistance technologies aren’t self driving. It’s also frustrating that they are over hyped.

At the moment, they are really good in certain situations (stop and go traffic, highways that are maintained properly and designed really well, roads without a lot of high speed curves, etc)

They won’t add value to many commutes but they add tremendous value to others.

Like all products, they are definitely not one size fits all
I share the sentiment.

Gawd. Freaking. Dammit.

I've been using RHEL-derived systems for like almost 20 years. This actually feels like a betrayal of the Open Source community.

Any bets on whether Fedora and CentOS will exist in November 2019?
I think it is more like Frontier buying phone lines from Verizon so they could temporarily reduce their free-fall in revenue.

Two or three years from now IBM will be the next GE.
Interesting to see no comments praising this at all. I wonder what happened to RedHat for them to make this decision.
I had to check twice if I hibernated and it was April 1st.

TL;DR IBM just bought a controlling interest in almost every Linux based system on the planet, and thus all the big companies making money with Open Source.
I agree to some extent, but paper ballots seem to solve a lot of these expertise problems (in addition to all the security and reliability ones).
Ask HN: Would you use a news app that sent you to your favorite sources?
Given a user is interested in reading about XYZ topic.

I'd like a browser extension to show me "preferred sources" of the same news event.

Yay or Nay?
Why not! A bit of benefit multiplied by a large number of applicants should pay some dividend for some time.

But there is a big difference between the craft and the science ... and phd or not , ratively few practitioners have the chops for the science.

Since you said "expect", this comment isn't directed at you specifically.

But let's say someone is advocating for that 80%-90% tax-rate on income:

1. Why should I try to make more money if I'm going to be taxed at 80%-90%, forking over such a massive sum of my money as to make it mostly worthless?

2. Even if this advocate believes the rich don't need the money, what makes the government entitled to take the vast majority of their income? That was money the rich income earner made for themselves. I'd argue that it should be their decision how to spend the majority of it.

I'd argue that advocating for seizing such a high amount of money is very anti-capitalist. It's not really a government's position to regulate how much wealth someone "needs" when you have a high degree of freedom.
Why is modeling required? Can’t we just put a sensor on every bus, and just return the empirical expected time it takes for the next bus to drive to your station given the time of day and day of week?

You've confused correlation with causation. The quote is an observation of a correlation, not a causation argument.
C++ templates are hardly the best example of generics out there, and certainly not what you should be looking at from a Go perspective, seeing how Go is a higher-level language that doesn't concern itself with zero-cost abstractions anywhere near as much as C++ does. Look at C# or D generics instead.
Keep in mind the tax implications. You basically can't sell real estate without immediately turning around and buying more real estate via 1031 exchange, unless you want to pay a massive capital gains bill.
You might find Types and programming languages - Benjamin C. Pierce to be particularly interesting. There's a GitHub repo with a list of materials, can't seem to find it. When I do, will remember to share!
For the same reason read(3) returns EBADF if you pass it a bad file descriptor. Why doesn't the libc wrapper around the syscall just abort() if I give it a bad file descriptor?

In systemd-networkd, the "asserts" assert the pre-conditions of a successful call to that function (in dhcp6-option.c). It's up to the caller (in sd-dhcp6-lease.c) to validate the users input, and ensure that it's passing valid arguments to the functions it's calling.

Building software in layers, and making use of "internal" libraries is a valid software engineering strategy for managing complexity.
Large Vancouver. Maybe it's Canada-wide.
As someone who knows little about marketing, thanks for sharing your process and insights. This is a really fascinating field and I can see why it is so valuable to invest in upfront for the success and growth of your business.
> Red Hat shareholders just sold out.

The Red Hat board were offered a massive premium on an already generously-priced stock. If they hadn't sold there probably would've been lawsuits left and right.
1. Every distro that already uses systemd (which is close to 100%)

2. (Close to 100% of) packagers and maintainers of system services

3. System administrators using distros from #1 (which is, again, practically everyone)
Good luck. Just wanted to chime in that my Dad had similar (albeit milder than yours) issues and ran across the Norman Parathyroid Center website while researching his problems. He had surgery there about 6 weeks ago and indeed they found and removed a dime sized tumor.

He has high praise for the docs there. And he’s had an excellent recovery. Energy and alertness has returned full force! Hope your results are similar.
not him, but I found this after a short search

What will happen to the parts of IBM and Red Hat which overlap? If there is competing tech which adds to IBM's bottom line then chances are that is what IBM will keep. It will be interesting to know what those areas are.
To the parent's point, how do you get a future employee to receive the information in an email that was sent before they started?
Here's an interesting discussion involving many of the players directly involved in the project. Ann Cavoukian from the Engadget article is on this.

My main worry is that this will end up like the Novell acquisition of SUSE. 10 years on and there is still scar tissue running through SUSE and openSUSE. Lots of bad blood was stirred up (and in many ways this is what cause the drop in interest in SUSE). IBM has hardly had the best history when it comes to treating its acquisitions (or its employees for that matter).

On the other hand, I know quite a few folks who work for IBM and do great free software work. I want to think that RedHat would be treated like OzLabs -- a fairly isolated group that gets to continue working on all of the free software work they have always done.

Here's hoping it works out. The survival of RedHat (or any large free software company) is very important to the longevity of the projects that we all depend on.

[I work at SUSE, though I wasn't around during the Novell years I have heard plenty of horror stories. And I've used GroupWise.]
Second you could always rent the whole unit just to cover the cost of mortage.

That’s not always possible. A great example is Vancouver right now. A 2 bedroom condo is around $600k. That’s almost $5000k when you include mortgage, insurance, property taxes and opportunity cost of your down payment.

Units like that usually rent for $3000 tops.
It depends on what you mean by “core product”. Eclipse or parts of Eclipse are used in a TON of IBM products.
redhat had a lot of love in the world. any other vendor that shoved systemd down everyones throat would have been villified. redhat was given a pass. (karma, anyone?)
As someone who competes in Judo, and as such needs as strong a grip and upper back/shoulders as possible, I have experienced this.
It's easy to overtrain pullups/chipups/rows and end up with tennis or golfers elbow, which is not fun, and takes a long time to heal, being a tendon overuse injury.
If it progresses to tendonitis, you're in for a lifetime of problems that are very debilitating. Think not being able to grab a dinner plate off a high shelf.
Don't treat pullups as something you can just grind. If you grease the groove, only do a quarter to a half to what you can comfortably do, and give yourself a maximum number of sets that you will do during the day.
Progress slowly over many months, with proper form and slow reps and no kipping. Don't do anything silly like add "a rep a day", or try to "drain the tank" every time you hit the exercise.
Just trying to save someone else the pain. It's surprisingly to override discomfort with willpower and actively destroy your own body
My Honda would interpret it as the lane getting wider and try to stay in the middle of that new wide ‘lane’.

I’ve noticed that behavior when there is a turn off on the highway that isn’t marked off. The car will start to drift to the right (to stay in the “middle”) if you don’t kee i’ve noticed that behavior win there is a turn off on Highway that isn’t marked off. The car will start to drift to the right (to stay in the “middle“) if you don’t intervene. I imagine if I kept going it would then decided it was outside the lane (after turnoff was passed) and yell at me.
