I survived the Gnome 3 transition in Gentoo by masking it and staying on 2.4 until Mate was ready. Throughout it all I've been able to keep my wobbly windows and window decoration with compiz and emerald, too.

Mate doesn't need to be the default, but it does need to be easily installable. I never understood the "Kubuntu", "Xubuntu" etc. line of distros when the alternate DEs were easily available in stock Ubuntu. Similarly RHEL ought to make sure KDE is easily installable no matter what is their default... (Though is it common to even run a DE on Redhat?)

Rational? It's about as far from rational as it's possible to get.

Homo economicus is the perfect caricature, as humans usually make purchasing decisions for far from rational reasons. They buy for emotion, because of brand, etc. Read any current marketing book. The system within which we operate claims rationality solely on the basis of conveniently ignoring anything that might impinge: pollution, environmental damage, cost of cleanup or restoration of a site, societal and human damage. All of those get lumped in a category called "externalities" that might be more honestly labelled inconvenient truths.

A rational system would be more holistic and somehow account for the value of lives, planet, society and so on. It would find a market way to penalise those actors continuing to saw the branch on which humanity or other species sit.

I was a kid during soviet time. Propaganda books, i.e. books about revolution was a minority.

Most of the books were regular children books about how to make friends, how to behave, how to study. There were books about science and fairy tales. Prose and poetry. There eas translation of books from authors from capitalist countries.

The kid books was very cheap like 3-5 kopeck (0.03-0.05 of rouble) with the average salary of abou 35 roubles.

The only problem was that most interesting books, teens books were rarely available in book shoops, but you could borrow it at a library. Libraries were available at every school as well as at district and city level.
DEs should make it easier to use tiling as a feature rather than having to go all-in with something like i3 or awesome.

I use xfce, and it's pretty easy to add sensible keybindings for snap-window-{up, down, left, right, top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right, fullscreen}. That's usually all I want, although occasionally it would be nice to be able to quickly split by thirds.

This still feels super snappy and productive, and you still get people asking you "whoa, how did you do that!?" But you can also overlap windows without changing modes, and the usual window manipulators are still there when they make sense, or when someone else wants to use your computer.

You shouldn't have to throw away the rest of the "normal" DE and relearn how to interact with your computer to get tiling. It should just be a secret superpower for people who know that it's there. I've never understood why it's always one or the other.
Current title of this HN post is very misleading. Roomba simply uploads a skill add-on to Google Assistant. The only data Google receives is names of rooms and when the user requests to vacuum them. This is given the fact that the user owns a Google Assistent.

The physical house itself generally isn't gaining in value. A newer house tends to be worth more, so age is still impacting the price.

Many of the houses near me are torn down and replaced after being purchased, so the price is more reflective of the cost to acquire the land.

The mold issue isn't unique to Asia. Parts of the southern US have a preference for new homes due to mold, termites and storm damage.
Actually being its own process it is something I came to agree upon.

In process plugins look cool, but they just bring everything down when they misbehave, plus it is another opportunity for exploits.

Peformance can be improved by actually writing the plugins in languages that compile to native code and eventually use shared memory.

OK, on that part we're in full agreement. One of my biggest regrets of modern food stores is the complete disappearance of local and more specialist apples - my personal favourites haven't been around for years. Which leaves few options for those without space for a dozen varieties.
Thinking Fast and Slow and various Malcolm Gladwellania have probably out-influenced anything on that list.
Nudge by Sunstein has probably had a lot of subtle influence. The Taleb books, esp. Black Swan should be on the list - he essentially introduced a term into common usage (as Gladwell did with the 10,000 hours idea). Piketty will probably have a long tail of influence.

A lot of these books describe social and historical phenomena - they may be the most authoritative scholarly text, but don't really influence broader society as much. The exception would be Critical Race Theory, which has outsized influence both inside and outside of academia.

I am still surprised by this behavior of websites. I guess they did the math and that these practices make them win more than then lose. The web in 2018 is in a poor shape :-(

Anyway, back at the topic: which book should, for you, be in the most influencial list? Mine would be "A self-sufficient organic kitchen garden" (automatic tranlation from French "Biopotager autosuffisant"): how to grow yourself enough vegetables to not have to buy any.

It's testing how antimatter and matter interact gravitationally.

It isn't possible to test how antimatter and antimatter interact gravitationally, because only single atoms of antimatter can be produced, and single atoms don't exert enough gravitational pull on each other to be measurable.

I'm assuming you're a non-Chinese speaking person. Make sure it's not an impulsive decision.

Last year I stayed in China for quite some time. I traveled across various provinces and cities and I found I was in love with Hangzhou. I wanted to settle down there. After all, it seemed perfect.

A month later, I flew back to my home. Days passed and I realized how much of a blunder I would've made if I had settled down there. Especially don't under-estimate the firewall, surveillance and safety issues. If these attributes don't matter, you'll be fine, but, if you're a developer, VPN isn't sustainable and will get frustrating after a while.

However, this is all my personal experience. Just my $0.02.

FWIW, this is exactly what Bitcoin does well: uncensorable payments with no single points of failure. And, by way of anecdata, I currently pay for domain names in Bitcoin already (from gandi).

People buying domain names are probably one of the best demographics to have if you want to take Bitcoin as they are likely to be technically savvy.

Yeah, but there is a hole between those categories. A Ryzen processor happily supports 64GB ram with a 4-slot board, and that is something they do not support. If you take the Major version you are bound to get a more expensive Threadripper processor.

But my current default build would be much cheaper and support up to 64GB ram, see https://www.pc-kombo.com/share/mORbPdR4. And that's also in a small case.

I've been here (Beijing) for 6y and currently have no plans to leave. But I also don't think I've ever really considered settling down here.

Life in general is still quite interesting, and I like the city, love the food and travelling around in China. But government and rule changes, the bad pollution days, crazy real state market, all contribute to not settling down per se.
That’s plausible for sure.

The company I worked for until recently maintains a core data store in Mongo, but mirrors the content into a Postgres database for use by other, newer applications (which don’t modify the data).

I think it would be more accurate to call it the most influential book for Americans of the past 20 years...
If the results are going to be the same, then what's the possible benefit for any user of a 3D engine?

Things like the ability to "generalize everything to pseudo-Euclidean spaces or to lower or higher dimensions", algebraic tools and writing proofs are not relevant to the needs that a 3D engine serves - 3D engines are written to fulfil requirements of engine users (not even engine writers), who won't be doing such things, that's below the abstraction level that's handled by the engine. So from that perspective we're comparing GA-filled black box with a quaternion-filled black box, and either (a) the GA box has better performance; or (b) the GA box has different results that are arguably more correct; or (c) the GA box has a substantially easier API; or (d) the GA box is useless.

It seems to me that you might be aiming at the (c) benefit with all the arguments that this math is easier to understand, but I'm not entirely convinced based on the article; perhaps an illustration of the expected code differences in using a non-quaternion GA-based engine (are there any?) would be helpful. If we can have an engine/API that's easier to understand for beginners and that makes all the basic tutorials simpler, then that would be a nice thing to have.
The basic infrastructure is there regardless.of whether you can access the internet. People will still have eyes and ears and can walk to each other, just like they always do.

While Americans seem obsessed with defining "free speech" as being exactly the same thing as the 1st Amendment, it might help to ask exactly why the 1st Amendment is a good idea.

JS Mill argued that censorship is wrong on a rights basis, that it leads to bad ideas being unchallenged, and it leads to people not being able to understand the reason why ideas are rejected. If censorship by a government is harmful, how is deplatforming by a near-monopoly different? I suspect some left-wingers argue this in a hypocritical way, because they think it will "trigger the conservatives" to force them to attack the actions of private companies, but this is hardly a good argument.

- If you want to find the most influential book, you should probably ask more than a dozen people the question "what is the most influential book". And you should probably look at how frequently certain titles get chosen. Otherwise you just have a list of favourite books from some unrelated academics I've never heard of.

- You should also try and include some academics and/or authors outside of America if you want to be taken seriously.

- Perhaps also consider, if you insist on doing this through a survey, asking people for some kind of evidence that supports the influential reach of their chosen book.

- Finally if you have a list of 20 books arranged vertically so people can can scroll down them, don't have the back button attempt and fail to scroll to each visited location on the page if you expect return visitors.

Overall, I see no value in this list beyond any other "hey I like these books I happened to read" type blog and I'll think twice before clicking on a chronicle link in future.
Terraforming Mars, or maybe just create a habitable satellite is easier than saving the earth. Current economical model fosters growing business, and only government regulation to deal with externality. Growing is intuitive to human activity, but restricting human growth is counter-intuitive.

I forget the link, but a lecture video using bacteria growth as a metaphor of human growth creeps me out. Supposed bacteria in a jar growth 2 times for 1 minutes, and the jar will be full in 1 hour. When will the jar be half full? Answer is at 59 minutes. At the time of 58 minutes, only 25% space is used. How many bacteria thinks the jar or the world will be full after 2 minutes?

The situation is similar to human, and we still cannot find a way to protect the environment and have economic growth at the same time. Maybe the end of human history is next 2 years but we still think its pretty okay and didn't notice anything unusual. Then maybe finding a new jar is the second best way to deal with it.

Not that weird actually. The GTX 1070/1080 are in a category above the RX 580, the direct competitor is the 1060. They do have the RTX 2070 as a replacement for the 1080, that category is served. And of course a company favoring open source would lead customers to buy AMD, the free drivers are way better than what Nvidia is offering. So they set AMD where it is sound and Nvidia where AMD has no alternative on the market, and where for ML you'd currently want a Nvidia gpu anyway.

This is a bad excuse to ignore the bugs and issues reported on reddit and forums.

Also is a bad excuse to ignore feedback, like you seen in latest release the developers are still moving thing around like the app menu, if a user would have complained about it an year ago you all would have defended Gnome design , now the devs said it was useless and not used and is a great design to remove it. The solution is to do more usability tests and not rely on what some "expert" thinks an UI should be.

This is why I'm a bit skeptical about the global warming predictions. AFAIK they're all based on multi-million lines of code models. Not only it's monumentally hard to have such large code base without bugs, but also, in case of a software implementing scientific models, finding bugs is extra hard (compared to software which works in a visible way and has millions of users, such as Linux kernel, games, car's embedded software etc.). An effort to have such model verified (let's say to a NASA standard) to be bug-free would probably cost billions of dollars. And that's only bugs, let's not forget that all the models are approximations, plus the numerical methods used all have their quirks and limitations etc. All in all, the problem seems too hard to tackle for humanity right now.
