The base OS and the installed 3rd party software (ports/packages) are on different release models.

The base is either stable/LTS (~5 years support) or rolling if you track -CURRENT.

For the 3rd party software it is either rolling or stable in short lived quarterly branches.

Most server side software is usually pretty up to date but some desktop-related tools can be outdated for a while. You might want to take a look at [0] and especially at the commit history of some fairly popular desktops like Gnome3 [1] or KDE5 [2]. They got updated recently but it took quite a while.

Yeah, that’s pretty easy for a web App. Things aren’t that simple for companies with more complex stack, like embedded systems for example.
Not sure. I've never done it but two long days doesn't seem that crazy to me. Even without drywall up, you're up on a ladder for parts, you gotta hang boxes, you gotta bore a bunch of holes, you gotta do the punching. It adds up. Between planning, routing, testing and the time it adds to drywalling I think it could be more. But again, I've never done it so I don't know for sure. I've just strung a fair amount of Romex which takes longer than you'd expect.
> Fortunately, the war stopped at "only" two atomic bombs, there were more to come...

Not for a while, I think. We only had two bombs at the time. IIRC it would have taken months (weeks?) to build another. The implication that we could just keep dropping a bomb every three days until surrender was a bluff, albeit a very strong bluff.

Firstly, they are the only instance of nuclear weapons being used on people. Secondly they are, by any measure, even by the standards of WW2, massive atrocities. 60000 people killed in an instant, an entire coty destroyed and of course the radioactive aftermath. The survivors experienced pain so great they begged nurses to kill them.

I don't know much about the Clojure community... but this article says "Open Source Is Not About You." If this is the generic "you," ie the random user that's coming in and complaining about something, then sure.

If this is a veiled criticism at a major contributor to the community, then I think it's disingenuous. If you're trying to foster a community around your OSS project/product (and Cognitect is doing just that) then you take on a set of obligations to that community, especially those who contribute code to it in good faith.

I mostly agree with your comment, but not this part

> The only meaningful benefit is to drive revenue for Apple's secret weapon -- high margin accessories. Those $30 earbuds have a cost that is probably <$3.

As I've argued in many other places in thread, removing the headphone jack will speed the adoption and price-reduction in wireless headphones. While this is not a pro for a lot of people, it is for others, including myself.

I don't agree with the argument that the only thing is to drive revenue to Apple, as there are many different brands of wireless headphones, just as there are with wired headphones. I own non-apple bluetooth headphones.
Sometimes I hear presentations just to learn how they approached a problem remotely similar to mine or used tools I am interested in using myself. The library and its exact implementation are mostly irrelevant in that case.
What does the OS X Activity Monitor’s “Energy Impact” actually measure? (2015)
My own opinion - this comes down to sheepish mentality of majority of the people, maybe combined with rather extrovert personality. Many people want to be told what to wear, what to listen to and watch, and generally what is popular and 'in'.

These people feel great in the crowd, so what is better than seeing a big crowd already trying to get to some bar? They can't be all wrong, right?

I am same as you, too many people put me off(not afraid of the crowds in any way, it just means loud subpar experience). And I agree that totally empty places feel a bit weird (that's probably a tiny sheep in me)

> it will help push wireless into the mass market

They are already in the mass market the problem is they suck.

I have tried a bunch of cheap Chinese bluetooth headphones that cost from $20-$60 they all sound like $5 wired headphones have about 2 hours battery life and break after a month.

I have tried bluetooth head phones that where $200 beats by drea they worked as well as the Chinese headphones they just cost 10 times the price.

Removing the headphone jack has forced people to spend a lot of money on shitty headphones, thats what your glad of.

Particularly CI. If you want to be able to release fast and often, having that automated is going to save you a lot of time.

And CI doesn't immediately have to include everything you'll eventually want; just having automated build and deploy will make your life a lot easier. Add some automated testing as soon as you can afford to (which hopefully is right away, because it's not that hard to set up), and you're ready to move.
That is interesting. Is it an aftermarket accessory? And would they market it abroad?
Both in Syria and Lybia you had quite a few special forces on the ground and some of the war lords / Kurdish militia got equipment and funding through western intelligence agencies. In the case of the Syrian civil war you could follow the factions and who they were supported by in real time on a google map somewhere.
Your comment contains an insult with no additional substance to back up the claim.
As a frequent long flight traveler I have range anxiety on my wireless headphones. I like the 3.5mm jack guarantees me one less device or peripheral to worry about, it just works (even if the noise cancellation may stop working when the battery dies, sound still goes through)

The article suggests that tech companies believe brand is important, and therefore invest in building custom typefaces to save on licensing fees.

That doesn't really hold up. The cost of developing a custom typeface can easily run from hundreds of thousands into millions of dollars.

It can take a huge amount of time and energy from within the company to commission and direct a large creative project.

Typeface licensing costs are a very small proportion of what most companies will spend on brand marketing.

And saving money on a small line-item isn't exactly a recipe for getting promoted.

Announcing that your shiny new typeface will save the company lots of money is, more likely, a post-purchase rationalisation that helps make everyone feel good about the investment.

If the driver was primarily to reduce licensing costs, there are some great alternatives:

1. Use one of the many terrific free and open source typefaces that will cover all the languages and use cases you really need (like Noto or Open Sans). Or even better, system fonts.

Jeremiah Shoaf has a terrific curated list here: https://www.typewolf.com/google-fonts

2. Threaten to use a free alternative and then negotiate a better deal on licensing

3. Go ahead and use your favourite typeface without declaring the full usage so it is unlicensed or under-licensed. This saves a lot of money and is actually pretty common.

In the past I've interviewed designers and creative teams about how they choose and decide to license typefaces. They talk about things like:

* wanting to create exactly the right aesthetic for their brand (i.e. I can only be satisfied by something that doesn't yet exist)

* finding usage-based licensing complex as it creates non-financial costs in terms of understanding, tracking and justifying the licensing costs. That all gets much easier if you own the typeface.

* reducing the risk of inadvertent copyright infringement and subsequent reputational damage

* feeling in control by owning the IP (and therefore not dependent on any third party in future)

Good technical response!

Is the part you quoted the one that's relevant here though? As per my post, gdisk reports "corrupt GPT" (due to CRC mismatch). In section 5.3.2 you posted, it says:

> If the primary GPT is corrupt, software must check the last LBA of the device to see if it has a valid GPT Header and point to a valid GPT Partition Entry Array.

> If it points to a valid GPT Partition Entry Array, then software should restore the primary GPT if allowed by platform policy settings (e.g. a platform may require a user to provide confirmation before restoring the table, or may allow the table to be restored automatically).

> Software must report whenever it restores a GPT.

So wouldn't the spec-compliant behaviour be to "provide confirmation before restoring", or at the very least, "must report whenever it restores a GPT"?
Look for job scheduling software plus the name of your programming language of choice. Or background processing. https://sidekiq.org/ is one for Ruby for example, https://aws.amazon.com/sqs/ one that runs in the cloud. Those pages should give you more words to search for as "job scheduling" and "queue" gives too many non-software related results.

Any message queue or similar could help with this.

Popular solutions:

* RabbitMQ

* Service Bus

* Kafka

RabbitMQ would be well suited, you define a producer and can then spin up as many consumers as you would like, each consuming from the same queue.

Preventing duplicate queuing should be done on the producer before it is queued.

It depends on the nature of the scaling and how much durability you want though, you may wish to simply maintain an atomic queue of work to be done, in which case any thread-safe list would suffice as long as changes were done atomically.

10k isn't that much in the grand scheme of things, a simple database could easily store such a queue if you didn't have that many nodes trying to consume the same table at once.

You would need to write stored procedures for transactional read & delete and inserts to prevent duplication of jobs.

In that case something like Redis might be good, which itself can also act as pub/sub and used for messaging.

Would you look to scale up more consumers as the queue lengthened, or would there still be a fixed number of consumers?

There is no implicit licence. This is an oft-circulated but fallacious rationalization made by computer people that is not in line with the law.

The law does not recognize any such thing, and until the turn of the 21st century this was a recognized hole. Technically, the World Wide Web (and indeed other systems from FidoNet to SMTP) was a violation of many countries' copyright laws. Legislators fixed the hole, but not by introducing the idea of implicit licencing.

The EU introduced provisions in 2001, by way of a Directive, that the making of temporary transient copies for the likes of HTTP and other network transmission mechanisms to work was explicitly not copyright violation in the first place. This became Netherlands law in 2004, and U.K. law in 2003. Neither the Directive nor the implementing Acts and Instruments talk about licensing. It is simply not a violation of copyright by definition.

You ask good question.

Conventional warfare against near peer enemy is absolutely horrifying for civilians. Estimated direct or indirect civilian casualties almost always exceed military casualties by large margin. How much difference does 'did not directly target' has when you know the end result. It does not help that modern military propaganda often describes the job of infantry "saving lives" without any sense of irony.

Why don't you curse at people when you see them in the street? It's not illegal. Why are we nice to people at all?

I keep getting back to morals. We don't do a lot of things because we want to be good people, not because it's illegal.

I still don't know where the line is, but I've been convinced for some time that we need a common set of morals to hold ourselves and businesses to online. If nothing else, "The computer should never lie to me" is a good starting point. That is, whatever I perceive the computer to be telling me had better reflect what the programmers know. Anything else is bullshit. (And perhaps illegal)

What Position Should My Kid Play to Minimize the Chance of Getting a Concussion?
A lot of the work the article talks about seems to involve manually recording features like the materials and colors used, the position and type of knots and so on, followed by searching for similar patterns in other khipus. Machine learning could conceivably speed up that encoding work.

Given a large enough collection of transcriptions, one could use "sophisticated" techniques like counting ngrams to try and identify common Quechua words. Depending on the content of a single khipu, i.e. whether it's more like a sentence or a longer text, and how similar modern Quechua languages are, it might even be possible to leverage that into a somewhat usable (i.e. sometimes correct) machine translation system.
I mean, the arguments and return values are different. Seems like a couple hours of work to convert from one to another, at most.

The site is nice. I can search "psychology" view 400 pdfs. Click on one, view the pdf at the top of the browser and with the transcription below. All text of the transcription is google translated when using chrome. It makes me think about how it must be when obtaining financial freedom and just dumping money on viewing whatever you want to read. Except I haven't found a good translator for pdfs, so this transcription is nice on the site. Also most if not all of the Pdfs are not complete and makes me think this site is beneficial to the source publishers.
Maybe because at the "Federal" level it's not a 2 party system, so it's less vulnerable to special (anti-citizen) interest groups.

In this case the authorities are telling businesses what they can and cannot do.
