>I'd prefer linux though for its window manager choices, single-rooted filesystem, lack of nags & faster file io (among other things).

Why not install Linux, and run Windows under a VM?

Or if locked to the Windows install, run Linux under a VM?
Having source and license to run something, and being willing and able to self-support the software through (eg) security issues are two very different prospects.

This is network infrastructure stuff. Not the kind of thing you leave to fester.
Absolutely. I've been f/t on each for varying amounts of time over the years, and have found each wanting. There really is no good desktop OS in 2018. I have found OS X the best for my purposes, but it exclusively runs on hardware that doesn't interest me, and only gets worse over time.
The C attitude is simple. If your code invokes undefined behavior, the compiler is allowed to do whatever it wants. Not returning a value from a function that is not void is definitely a footgun.

The C language itself does not prevent you from invoking these footguns. Why, I don't know for sure; I wasn't around for the genesis of C. I would guess that if C were designed today, most of the undefined behavior that can be detected statically would just be errors.

Of course, compilers are allowed to optimize assuming your code does not utilize undefined behavior. This is reasonable in my opinion. If the compiler were not allowed to optimize in ways that broke undefined behavior, it would be nearly impossible to write meaningful compiler optimizations. Most compiler optimizations change the semantics of the execution even though they keep the semantics of the program itself identical according to the rules of the C language. Where would you draw the line? If I monkey patch a function that my compiler decided to inline, would I have reason to complain?

In the face of C seeing your completely unused side-effects, it knows there is no possible way your program could ever actually touch those side-effects in the bounds of defined behavior. Therefore, it is free to throw them away. This may seem unreasonable, but in my opinion it's nearly the only reasonable choice.

To me the real solution is something like -Wall -Werror. For most statically detectable invocations of undefined behavior, this will save you, throwing an error in this case because "not all codepaths return a value." Then, you can sleep easy without sacrificing decent dead-code elimination.
Docker Swarm Mode also embeds etcd.

A theme of the comments so far has been around the fact that the benchmark is created in a manner that feels biased.

QUICK STRAW POLL: What is the right way for that information to be gathered and presented?

a. There is no bias. Companies can and should present research that may favor them, as long as they cite good sources.

b. An industry analyst, paid to research multiple companies and options and present that information to their respective (most likely paying) customers.

c. A journalist, presenting research in public, funded by advertising for unrelated interests.

d. Reporting by peers/actual users of the system on how the products compare, and possibly about how it aligns with their technical and business goals.

e. Trust no one. Conduct your own research, and publish it if you see fit to so do, or keep it to yourself.

I see potential "disinformation vulnerability" with each approach. How ought we get the best info on how to align our organizations with technologies?
Do they not have call termination logs? I am saying that because service logs have to be accurate by law.
Big Deal. You realize those minerals are present in just about any water you can imagine, right? They are almost completely harmless or even beneficial. The guy in your video is just scaremongering in order to sell something.
All of these comments are good points. I have thought of free will too. My idea was mainly nondeterministic free will, but also a kind of two kind of free will: "classical" free will which is less free but has more effect, and "quantum" free will which is more free but less effective. I also thought of a kind of deterministic free will where free will is somehow encoded in the initial state; possibly transcendental numbers might be required in order for this to work. And yet there are still more questions. I have read Wikipedia and other stuff too.

I've never seriously considered working primarily in a VM. For performance reasons, I suppose, but given how far the VM scene has come, that may well be an out of date prejudice. Maybe Linux under Windows (it would have to be that way round) would work. Worth considering, yes.
The main things that come to mind are:

- Encyclopedic scope but enormous attention to detail;

- eclectic and exploratory approach to organization;

- highly individualized prose style;

- significant amount of authorial distance, almost mystery (is the name a pseudonym? where do they live? why are they so interested in catnip anyway? etc);

- no fixed point of completion, everything is constantly being revised;

- subscription-based fundraising model (Patreon is far from new in that regard).

Burton's The Anatomy of Melancholy is probably the best example I can think of that illustrates what I like about books from that period: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Anatomy_of_Melancholy

Montaigne's Essays and the works of Robert Boyle and Margaret Cavendish are excellent too though, if you're interested.

How does this compare to Nils Holm’s subc compiler that has somewhat similar goals? There is a book describing the compiler as well (though the current version of the compiler supports a larger subset of the C language).

There are no current OSes which upgrade once per decade or 5 years, sadly. Sure Win 7 and 8.1 are there, but on their way out. Everything else is updated much more frequently. I suppose MacOS is the only remotely reasonable alternative once Win 7 and 8.1 are past EOL.
“Nuclear fusion is still decade away” ... heard that before. Decade before.
Or society works because people do things for others without expecting repayment and there’s enough social pressure for the vast majority to not exploit that system.

Sorry, but you’re overthinking this. Facebooks product is not advertising. It’s a platform that brings users and advertisers together. Just because it’s free for some or most users of the platform doesn’t mean that only paying people (advertisers) need to be protected.

Under GDPR, it actually doesn’t matter if you charge money for your product or not. If you process personal data, you’re responsible for it. This also applies to private people with no commercial interest who start to gather data from strangers (in exchange for some service or whatever).

Edit: The motivation should’ve been there from the beginning, if only for ethical reasons. Now the motivation is probably enforced by hefty fines.

Yes, Lucas's walkers come from U.S. Steel's pictures of future walkers for snow use, which came from the General Electric walking truck.[1] The walking truck was really an exoskeleton; the human driver was doing all the control.

A big thing in the 1960s was operating in the Arctic, where the US and Canada were building chains of radar stations. Hence the U.S. Steel snow walker. The US Army had LeTorneau build several "overland trains", the largest being 170 meters long, with 54 powered wheels. [2] They look like something Lucas would have put in a movie. Worked fine, but were never deployed; heavy-lift helicopters became available.

The history of giant military ground vehicles is like that - they can be built, but are seldom useful. One of the lessons of tank design is that if it can't cross a standard bridge, ride on a standard railroad car, and drive on a standard road, it won't make it to the battle. In the 1940s and 1950s, all the players built prototype monster tanks, but nobody went beyond prototypes.

It's shocking how many people on HN seem to assume that Swartz was an idiot.

The best benchmarks I’ve witnessed come out of academia.
If you have the source compiler, which is itself bootstrapped from source, then you effectively sidestep the problem brought up in the paper

How does this work?

Is the source compiler bootstrapped from its source, such that the source compiler compiles the source of the source compiler and that results in the source compiler?

I think I’m getting confused because “source compiler” describes what a compiler does anyway, so I’m guessing that “source” in “source compiler” is used as in origin and not as in textual code, rather than a redundancy? So which source is the source compiler compiling?
Of course I know that. I'm explaining why the lack of somebody capable taking responsibility for providing a "curated" linux with a world-class UI and backing it up with deep and broad app and services ecosystem means that it won't ever be acceptable to the vast majority of desktop users, including me.

Canonical has totally failed to deliver this. Maybe someone else could, maybe not. We're just speculating here.
I mean, it's a bug. Happens to everyone. Criticize them for the things they should be but don't make a case out of everything.
The US is closed shop, by law,

Actually, Closed Shop (by its standard definition , meaning only union members may work) is illegal, but the problem you describe is real enough. Agency Shop (typical except in right-to-work states) is effectively closed for new employees.

There are workplaces where different roles have different unions, like CNA and SEIU in certain CA hospitals.

They could. However, if they did, they would need to open source everything they ship with it, if I remember the GPL correctly.

But also, I think it would be a daring and interesting business move. I'd probably start using Windows more if they did, and usage is the ultimate prize these days.

With HTTP2 you can add files to a request, if the user requests index.htm you can also send style.css in the same response. Versus the user first requesting index.htm, parses it, then request style.css. It's a pretty new feature, and will help a little bit with latency as it can save a round-trip.

Wireless connections have had bad latency, but it's getting better. 15 years ago you could get 200+ ms latency on WiFi. today we are down to around 10-20ms. 15 years ago we only had 100Mbit fiber. If you live in a city today you can get 10Gbe.
Meanwhile there are people surfing using satellite up-link, or very poor GSM, so there are strong contrasts. But they probably wont bother loading any CSS (which makes semantic HTML important).
The article links to a video where RMS argues with some event organizer about the need to end a talk at the scheduled time. RMS argues that

there is an easy way to stand up heel-side.

the trick is to first, roll in the "opposite" direction.

When you are sitting down, roll backwards so the back of your neck is touching the snow, and the bottom of your board is pointing towards the sky

At this point, gravity is trying to pull you back down. Now, along with gravity, kick your legs to roll forward quickly. Gravity and momentum should effortlessly roll your upper body to be above the board.

this allows you to avoid having to use your arms to "push" your upper body above the board.

it's also much quicker, so you don't waste effort standing up, and can save your energy for actually snowboarding down hill
I cannot stand windows for 5 minutes. to me it's just a terrible unresponsive, incoherent and unusable mess. Linux Desktop is a jewel in comparison.

I'm kind of starting to realize that small nuances in Linux are not forgiven, but they are easily overlooked in Windows.

People are just used to Windows and it's problem's are overlooked.

Anyways, Desktop Linux has always been a mostly volunteered project. There are billion dollar industries around server but most of the drive on desktop is just pure volunteered.

Considering that fact, I think it's doing amazing.
That was a for me surprisingly long list.
The only hard rule I'll agree to is no direct threats of violence.

Shame storms would be most effectively fought with better education, not moderators. Don't make judgements based on hearsay. Internet moderators don't help when a shame storm grows larger than the internet.

Bit from the article:

The solution, then, is not to try to make shame storms well targeted, but to make it so they happen as infrequently as possible. Editors should refuse to run stories that have no value except humiliation, and readers should refuse to click on them. It is, after all, the moral equivalent of contributing your rock to a public stoning. We should all develop a robust sense of what is and is not any of our business. Shame can be useful—and even necessary—but it is toxic unless a relationship exists between two people first. A Twitter mob is no more a basis for salutary shaming than an actual mob is for reasoned discussion. That would be true even if the shaming’s relics were not preserved forever by Google, making any kind of rehabilitation impossible.
I think you make a good point, at the same time, it's nary impossible to decide right from wrong on the internet, there are many sides to every story.

If the government wants to hire people to decide what counts as what - they should do that.

I agree, Linux desktop is much better than Windows. But I prefer Linux without a desktop environment (this is not the same as a window manager; I do use a window manager, but not a desktop environment).
NIMBY doesn't automatically imply poorest.

Regardless, I volunteer for the danger zone. The 99% worst case is merely evacuation, and expensive power plants pay for lots of nice thing with their taxes.

Also insurance is a perfectly viable way to spread out risk so that no group of people is disadvantaged.
I agree with the skepticism here regarding the ease of getting Windows software working on Linux. The Wine and CrossOver folks are doing the Lord's work but even they have their limits.

Linux software tends to not rely on much. Linux makes it really hard to rely on much. The internals change often and the kernel is not nice to people who try to rely on implementation details, of what you can from usermode. You can hardly rely on libc when you are on Linux, and many try not to, to be more portable.

Windows software on the other hand is wild. Just look at the myriad of techniques used by anti-debugging and anti-reverse-engineering tools. A Linux binary wouldn't dream of reimplementing the runtime linker itself, but that's exactly what many packers do on Windows, to obscure the import address table and make patching/debugging harder. Did you know you can write into another processes address space with WriteProcessMemory? Why do we even have that lever!?

That's only considering usermode. But apps are just as eager to rely on kernel mode implementation details too, in the past it was even common to patch the SSDT to modify syscall behavior. Anti-cheat in video games can still do evil things even on Windows 10; nProtect GameGuard's kernel module seems to hide its usermode processes somehow. I'm pretty sure Linux kernel modules can't easily do that.

I'd love better Windows compatibility on Linux. Heck, I'm excited by what Valve is doing with Proton too. But in the end, I think much of the Windows software library is just too deeply ingrained in the Windows legacy.

The analogous list is to point to the Romans in 100AD, and Charlemagne in 800, and Napoleon in 1800, and conclude that clearly the EU has always been a united super-state.
