> I've got two friends, one lives in Wimbledon (far south), the other in Barnet (far north).

That isn't a fair assessment. Metro lines are used to enhance mobility within urban areas. Their goal is to replace cars and 20-30min walks with a 5-10 metro ride with an additional 5min walk. That's why typically subway stations are placed about 500m to 800m apart, and the system's commercial speed is designed to be around 50km/h.

For long commutes, such as going from far north to far south, there is an entirely different system: commuter rail. Their stations are further apart, their commercial speed is higher, and so is the passenger volume.

Just to provide an example, Madrid is served by both rapid transit network (madrid metro) ans a commuter rail system (madrid cercanias). It takes between 30 and 40 minutes to cross Madrid riding the metro network, but the commuter rail takes about 15 or 20 minutes.

Because though there might be building trades conferences, there are no hammer conferences. Oh, there will be tool vendors at the building trades conferences, there might be sessions on "Efficient Hammering Techniques Using Machine Learning", but there are no conferences about hammers. Don't forget about the blacksmith conference next week, they'll have hammer vendors, too.

I dunno, a Ruby conference kinda makes sense because one will mostly build web sites with it, so it's really going to be a "Building $FOO with $TOOL" kind of thing. But C is so widely used, it's like having that HammerFest 2019 with everyone from people splitting wood with a sledghammer to jewelers with their teensy little tapping tools. I just don't see the diamond workers drinking with the lumberjacks at the hotel bar after hours. :-) I jest, but it's mostly about networking anyway, otherwise just watch the videos online.

The latter philosophy sounds like what Apple is working towards with their recent A12X chip direction.
I have multiple objections to this statement..

1) Trading on "inside knowledge" is not really a crime, or even a problem. Everyone knows something the other doesn't: thats why you trade on it. You sell your knowledge and knowhow.

2) Why do you think the employees of amazon are less entitled to that gain that the landlords or queens that have almost no relationship whatsoever to the company and have somehow a windfall

3) The ultimate loser of not being able to capture the externality value produced is the company, i.e. the shareholders. This is the other side of the coin of when amazon bargains for tax breaks: some people will be made wealthier for a tangential participation.
Why do you say that? Genuinely curious.

No. Conferences will have learning and training sessions. Conferences will have reps from customers, partners and vendors you work with or are thinking of working with. And yes, you can use this time to also connect with like-minded people.

I've been doing that for years - my resume has a block labeled "buzzwords" immediately after the contact info and just before the job history.

My resume is also kind of aggressively old-fashioned, a single page of 80-column ASCII text, because that's the kind of person I am and I figure anyone interested in hiring me ought to know what they're in for. :-)
I don't think it's important to my point. The point remains that multiple theories can be equivalent in some restricted sense, yet the more aesthetic one might have greater potential.

> I only played UO for a month or two. The only skill I leveled up significantly was Hiding. I'd go where the loot was, and adventure for a few minutes until the inevitable gang of PKers came wandering through, looking to loot all the players like me. Some players ran, some hid, most died.

I can't imagine how the UO devs thought this might be a turnoff for new players.

Hi 'Code

Silence is a very poor control indeed! We absolutely test against other music.
For internal R&D we've tested against 'focus music' taken from other services, but this is not necessarily something you want to do in an academic paper.

Instead, in a paper we're working on, we take the even more controlled approach of testing music that is exactly the same, except for the addition of particular kinds of processing (this work is in prep for submission).

The question of preference and genre is very important for effectiveness, and people differ enormously. We try to offer a wide enough variety so people can select what works best for them in terms of musical style.

But no matter what the genre, Brain.fm's techniques are applied to make that music more suited to the task at hand.

For example, we do offer a selection of Brain.fm-ified Bach (in the Classical Focus section, under 'more music' in the web app). I love Bach but find it distracting when I'm trying to focus. Brain.fm processing removes some distraction while keeping the stimulating feel of the music.

Maybe the fact that there are many split communities is even evidence that a conference would be beneficial. Get some cross pollination of ideas going on.

Bead Sort: An algorithm faster in hardware but slower in software
An email address isn't secret, is it? It's sent back and forth in clear text through any number of relay servers. I consider my name and email address to be basically public information. Along with (unfortunately) my Social Security number.

If Amazon exposed any data fields more sensitive than email address, I would call that stonewalling/covering up as TC seems to be implying. But otherwise it kind of just sounds like TC being all petulant that Amazon wouldn't tell it everything it wanted to know. And the motivation there is likely to be the generation of clicks, not the protection of customers.

Take the "number of users affected" for example. Knowing that info doesn't help any individual customer. But it does help journalists drum up pageviews, or at least I feel like they believe it does. Having a big number in there is like this (dubious) Holy Grail of page-irresistability. I'm just judging from how, for example, the reporters on the TV news always bug their eyes out and raise their voice and talk really slowly and emphatically any time they come to a number. "The pool was reported to be FOURTEEN FEET DEEP..." "The petition has THIRTY THOUSAND signatures..." Wow! A number! I'm supposed to be all impressed I guess! ZOMG let me throw all my money at you right now!!!!

GhostiFi – Working with Vultr and Cloudflare API in Python
In the 80s, in Tahoe, we built a tree-fort near my house. My dad was a general contractor and we had a lot of MDF available to use from his company...

Yeah - MDF and SNOW do not a happy tree house make.

The MDF sops up water like a sponge and deteriorates into its constituent particulate... which really sucked because our fort had two levels....

We built a house on the truckee river and there was a giant glue-lam beam that was used for the main truss of the roof. It had to be custom ordered from some manufacturer, and when I asked my dad why we were using that, he talked about how the glued laminate layers were stronger than a single material beam.

It wouldn't surprise me if this was limited to system logs and simple request logs. All the source IPs coming from Tor gateways are going to be from localhost. By default in Apache and Nginx logs also include the user agent but diligent dark web operators disable that.

System logins, auditd, supporting services logs, etc all may provide clues as to what happened.
Sometimes a 30 min conversation with an experienced developer can save you 3 months of work. Conferences can be extremely productive, but it's just like everything else, it depends on how you personally do it. For some developers its "nothing productive gets done after lunch" and for some like you it's "nothing productive gets done on conferences" but that's a very individual thing and definitely not true in general.
If that's your take-away from my comment, I do wonder how you make it through a workday, being so ready to take offense, without bursting into tears.

Addiction. I grew up reading newspapers in the morning, which was my gateway drug to bitesize information. When the first feed readers appeared, in the late ‘90s, there was no going back.

Seems like Ebay was one of the original online "gamifiers" which used seller and buyer ratings to elevate the overall quality of the "service workers" on their platform.

Amazon followed suite.

I wonder if we should consider both as part or as leaders in the "gig economy".

I think if we can build a proper network we can make local economies complete with the global giants by using gamification. Nudge consumers of products or services to buy local with a sort of consumer rating or something.

4.75 stars means they get get deeper local discounts, etc. Local network marketing.
This is a very old problem. In 1879, Henry George called it the paradox of progress and poverty. Prosperity causes land values to go up, and this inevitably creates a class of winners and losers. Some of the losers can't afford rent at all.
Onion (née hidden) services are easily hosted from any computer, even behind a NAT/ISP due to how it publishes its descriptor and relies on reachable relays for rendezvous. It's easy with the Tor executable and a torrc file, there are plenty of guides out there.

Even though you're new to all this, for others wanting to do this programmatically, there is Stem for Python and I've written one for Go [0]. It's such an easy self-hosting NAT traversal technique, I'm surprised it's not used more often in situations not requiring great bandwidth/latency (e.g. p2p chat).

> To me it matters a lot. Capitalism only works when the true costs of things are accurately reflected in their prices.

That's actually not true. Capitalism always works, no matter the problem. However, free markets don't account for externalities, and in some cases supply/demand constraints create unacceptable non-economic problems. Thus, to avoid the effects of non-economical problems then it's preferable to create economic incentives that reflect the non-economic constraints.
In this case, parents are educated by experience actually getting chickenpox. Although horrible complications are indeed possible, the risks are really being blown out of proportion. Chickenpox vaccination is more about pharmaceutical companies and missed school days.

There is also plenty of distrust. This is to be expected, given the well-known existence of lobbying by for-profit pharmaceutical companies that are legally protected from all liability. Specific complaints are that vaccines are manufactured using tissue cultures from aborted babies, that some of the diseases aren't even present in the USA (can vaccinate if they come back), that disease risks are overstated (given modern care and general health), that vaccine risks are understated (the window of time for a vaccine injury to be legally accepted is too narrow), and that pharmaceutical companies refuse to offer some of the vaccines in single-disease form.

For example, one of those combo vaccines (I think the MMR or DTAP) is a problem for somebody I know. A single component of the vaccine is made from tissue culture that originates from an aborted baby. The kids would be vaccinated for the other diseases if it were possible to get separate vaccinations in the USA. Japan has separate vaccinations available, but a trip to Japan is a major undertaking.

Some people are resistant to a hard sell. The supposed "education" to push for vaccination is always very one-sided. People can see it. The harder the push, the more suspicion is generated. It's sort of like the car dealer experience.

Reading detailed history in detailed accounts may help. Both from how they were the same and how they changed. Admittedly "risky" in how you may react but it is dual purpose in also aiding guidance.

Seeing the cycles can be interesting like how military elites often wind up diminished - often not violent revolution because that favors another set of warrior elites often but trade undermining their power but being too useful to purge - the alternative is being unable to maintain their forces. Nobles became vestigial compared to magnates and tycoons.

American Is Killed by Bow and Arrow on Remote Indian Island
I have a similar approach to learning a new language. The first thing I usually do is implement some sort of self-balancing binary search tree (usually AVL, Splay, or Red-Black). It's usually something that I can do in just a few hours in a new language, using just the core language features and maybe a couple of standard library functions. It's also just complex enough to force me to learn some of the language idioms so that the resulting code is sufficiently readable/elegant/small/performant.

Once I've done this I'm usually much more comfortable reading other code in the language and navigating the language documentation. From there it's much easier to do things where I want to use external libraries, frameworks, build tools etc.

More realistically, potato prices would go up to reflect operational costs.
HTML is the most popular language in the world. The core of HTML may have "stagnated" because of JS, but the alternative would probably have been extinction and replacement with something that didn't decline to include programmability.

I also don't think HTML has actually stagnated, though. HTML+CSS+JS is a solution, and it's changed a lot over the years. The HTML piece has experienced the smallest set of core changes, but that's because it already does what it needs to. Adding a modern file upload element might be nice, but it's not necessary. (Also the behavior of upload on the client side is really a browser choice. Browsers could make this a lot prettier without changing HTML at all.)

This is going to get abused so fast
That's right, real-time does not mean real-fast. In a hard real-time system, there is a deterministic worst-case bound for response times. "Real fast" CPUs, like the latest and greatest Intel CPUs, are actually pretty difficult to get deterministic bounds on. There are factors like unpreventable SMI events, possibility of L1/L2/L3 cache misses, etc. Often systems that need to be really deterministic, like say an engine controller in a car, run on simple CPUs like the Cortex-R series from ARM.

> Codebases should not be using extensions, and Linux is wrong to do so.

Poppycock. Codebases should use any and all tools available to them to accomplish their goals, given the tradeoffs. Using non-standard language extensions is a tradeoff, and if it suits the Linux community and their goals, there's nothing wrong with that.
This is the actual question to ask. Advertising is either a convenient scapegoat by ruling classes, or it is inherently destructive. Either way, a clear headed free society would ban advertising in its current form and seek other means of providing the utility of advertisement for goods and services. At the end of the day, that is all advertising is supposed to provide. Yet somehow this relatively insignificant aspect of society is put front and center as the reason for all sort of shenanigans.

Remember the Vasa! ;)

> C is stable, trusted, and supported everywhere for this very reason.

See the sibling comment about C not being fully supported everywhere. As long as people continue to make proprietary compilers, there will be implementation deficiencies. That's orthogonal to the language itself.

> Codebases should not be using extensions,

Agree and disagree. Maybe "codebases should only use extensions when it's feasible to provide fallbacks" or something.

> and Linux is wrong to do so.

I'm not sure I agree. There are some worthwhile extensions IMO, which is why I made the point earlier that I think it's time to standardize them.
