I'm glad companies like this are speaking up in this way. Politicians need to understand that this is really happening: the destruction of the Australian software industry is now underway. Even if they still think they voted for a perfectly good law, they must understand that perception is everything and the outcome of what they have done is going to have horrific consequences.

As an Australian, please help us and speak up like this.
Can someone please explain to me how a ship hits another ship that is showing full AIS? I have no understanding of what it's like on the bridge of a ship like that and would appreciate some insight. Surely they have a radar plot of themselves and their vector with the other ship, with a point of closest approach readout (ideally connected to an alarm). As a recreational sailor on a 28' yacht that's what we have, and monitoring that in shipping lanes is the priority. Can someone with understanding explain how this (to me) basic precaution might not happen on a professional naval ship with multiple bridge crew?

For me, lets ignore the whole 'should the navy show AIS', and 'the ship was difficult to see because of lighting', not identifying a collision AIS vector seems like a single egregious failure.

>KDE has too many options.
This a user problem, maybe some personality or mental issue that makes you waste time or get scared when you see options.

How you should approach this is to use KDE, then if you wonder ,"hi would be nice if I could put the notifications on left side since my right eye is bad -> then you go and find the option and move the notifications ,

Installing KDE and trolling to all options is a insane thing to do, do you also install Firefox and go into about:config and set all this options as you prefer ? Or you use Ff then ask , hey would be cool if Ff won't do this annoying thing , then you search the option and hope to find it

> [Employee:] "They talk to you like you’re a robot."

Freudian slips.

> She said she’s insulted by the company’s "power hours" in which employees are pressured to move extra fast in hopes of winning raffle tickets.

Besides this being disgusting, it’s an interesting analogy for the process by which companies like Amazon and Huawei supposedly pick the location for a new major factory/warehouse/campus; let the local governments race each other with tax breaks and other ‘incentives’, the winner gets a negligible shot at profits.

> “Amazon maintains an open-door policy that encourages employees to bring their comments, questions, and concerns directly to their management team for discussion and resolution” the company said in a statement.

Workers probably won’t gather at the entrances of the warehouse to yell ‘scab’ at strikebreakers, so the resolution Amazon is getting at probably is probably “you’re fired.”
On the positive side, it sounds like there was very little damage to the tanker which would have had a devastating impact to the environment had it leaked its contents / sunk.
It isnt more expensive!

Our main path business path gets about 60,000 reqs min. For that, sure AWS Lambda would never compete. Not only would it cost more but you'd probably hit the concurrency limit in AWS Lambda.

But we also have an admin UI that gets about 2500 visits a day. We're running that for about $4 a month - with virtually no operational burden whatsoever, and with a reassurance of resilience.

We worked out that the inflection point of value is at about 3 million requests a month. (that's an fag packet estimate, arbitrarily expensive 'request', your mileage may vary).

Its no silver bullet, but for some applications, particularly personal projects, low traffic and startup scenarios it can be ideal.

I always understood the salt issue as a public health suggestion. EG if 1 person in a hundred has salt-sensitive hypertension, telling everyone to lower their salt intake will help that 1% of the population. The other 99% are just inconvenienced.

I disagree. There is low unemployment and some companies need extra work to be competitive. They should be paying higher than market rates and before joining you should be aware of where are you getting into.

Years ago I declined Amazon mid way into the interview process after reaching out to ex-amazon workers from that same office.

On the other hand, I know Amazon workers in a different country who love their jobs.

Absolutely. When I hear about a collision between a warship and an oil tanker, I'd expect the warship to rip straight through the oil tanker, with devastating results.

It's an unintended benefit of flimsy modern warships, I guess. But it'd be better if they actually watched where they're going.

How dare you suggest the use of a PeasantOS to a clientele so refined as Apple's?!

Back to your basements, you lutes, and keep hoping you produce something good enough to be included in glorious OSX, that they might take it and in return give you nothing except for the knowledge that you, a mere programmer, have managed to contribute to mighty Apple's bottom-line.

But yeah, that it would be pretty sweet, even though it will never happen. For Apple software is about taking control, not giving it.
>So maybe more like 10% could be affected?

Sorry I didn't have a chance to dig into your data, but even if it were 10%, that leaves 90% who are uninformed/disinterested and are easily swayed by the rhetoric: "If you've got nothing to hide then you are fine", "Do you want to protect ISIS from ASIO eyes?" etc...

The for case is so easily won in the public sphere that it's laughable. I wish it were otherwise, but most people cannot understand where we come from because they lack the background knowledge.

We're not special in that regard. As tech people we oppose this bill. How many other crappy bills pass without any protest from us nerds, just because we don't understand the particulars of climate/jobs/pollution/forestry/land management/policing/urban development etc.etc.etc.?
If I had to define one underlying architectural difference between UNIX and Windows, it's that Windows uses RPC (and some other kinds of structured communication) where UNIX uses pipes. This has advantages if you're Microsoft and developing both ends, but in most other cases it's a huge disadvantage to discoverability and transparency.

This is partly why nobody developed proper open source Exchange clients: the Exchange protocol is MAPI over DCE/RPC, and you need to build a lot of infrastructure before it will even talk to you.

From a very cursory look, it seems like it doesn't. Based on the man page for mmap [1], it seems like all MAP_32BIT does is ensure that memory is allocated in the lower 2GB of addresses.

Notably, this means the actual pointers to that memory are still 64 bit.

Obviously, when you change pointers to be 32 bit, that requires an ABI change because the binary layout of your data structures is different.

As others have said, total throwback to 2005/2006 for me — my last proper attempt to make Linux everyday OS. The early Ubuntu days were so fun!

I remember ordering the free CDs for Warty Warthog (Which I still have somehere), just for fun - absolutely installing that initial release, alongside some Compiz/Beryl packages in an attempt to have fun.

And then I remember upgrading to Hoary Hedgehog either early or right on its release — and downloading a brand new show that ABC was airing called “Grey’s Anatomy” — that I was angry had forced my favorite show “Boston Legal” into early hiatus. I have distinct memories of watching the pilot in one of the rotating cubes — but Wikipedia indicates Compiz’s initial release was later so I may have used a pre-release or another WM effect thing.

Anyway. It’s nearly 14 years later. Grey’s Anatomy is one of the longest-running TV dramas of all time. It’s creator signed a huge deal with Netflix after basically turnjjg Thursday nights into the biggest night on TV for ABC, and apparently, wobbly Windows are still a thing.

It’s the diagram that compares physically existing boundaries and the boundaries of what humans can experience. On the left (y axis) you have the time in log scale. The “now” is the begining (left corner down) and the end is the begin of the observable universe. On the bottom (x acsis) you have the distances again in log scale: left the smallest possible right the farthest physically observable (now it’s estimated to be cca 46 billion light years).

The line starting from the lower left ending in the upper right says: the earlier something happened the farther it cam be and remain physically observable (due to the speed of light being finite).

What humans can directly experience is of course small compared to the “all time” and “all space” and it would be invisible without the logaritmic scales used.
It’s nothing like hotel “turn down service” which is typically a good thing. Sometimes you even get a mint.

Maybe the “mint” with “turned down” saas apps would be the ability to export your data?
To me, it's about the abstraction layer that you interact with when bringing up your stack. That abstraction layer has gradually moved higher over time as providers try and deliver more for their customers:

1) Hardware) 'I want to run Linux + Stack + App'. You get an empty rack, a network port and a power socket. You have to buy iron, install and maintain OS/platform, runtime environment and your service. Scaling requires more work and buying more stuff.

2) VMs) 'I want to run Stack + App'. Machine and OS is provided for you and maintained. You still have to build runtime environment and your app. Scaling doesn't require capex like (1), but still slow - you have to decide how much capacity you want.

3) Containers) Still 'I want to run Stack + App' but faster scaling so can be responsive rather than in advance. A halfway step to:

4) Serverless) 'I want to run App'. Runtime environment, hosting etc is all taken care of. You just write the app and everything else works at the capacity you need.

We've been aiming at this last level of abstraction for a while. As you pointed out, the classic VPS with LAMP got you some of the way there, but without the scaling advantages. Google App Engine got closer but was its own special world. Containers are an important technical enabler to doing it more portably.
Personally I run a gitlab-runner inside an LXC container.

EBOLA IS SPREADING LIKE a BUSH FIRE
Our Ownershipless Future
When you click the 'more' button on the bottom of the list that shows a users posts, it adds a parameter called 'n' to the url. Which contains the number of posts on the current page.

The server then seems to use that parameter to output post numbers on the page it returns.

Is that a common pattern? Why not simply count the posts of a user and put out a normally numbered list? Is it for performance reasons?
This is really interesting, definitely going to have to look at regulation of sorts in the future!

Competitive with whom? The mall? No, China would wise up and take over the Amazon market from outside USA. They can just do the just-in-time shipping from Mexico or Canada, with robots or something.
Coincidently, people (and other beings) also have different worldviews in every context and not acknowledging this leads to endless pointless arguments.

It would be cool if the participants of every discussion (programming or otherwise) labeled their worldviews explicitly, so we could at least know what we're dealing with. For example on here with a tag by our usernames.

Old religions used to serve that purpose at least to a first approximation - we really could use some words to describe the new ones.
Of course you always find a country with worse working conditions, but usually those are very poor in comparison. But what insight can you infer from the fact the people in Mexico work more than in the US?

Comparing apples to apples, the working conditions/ living conditions in the US are significantly worse than those in most other industrial countries, including working hours, paid vacation, employment protections, maternity/paternity leave, pensions, health care, life expectancy, child care, ...

Comparing living quality in relation to GDP per capita, living in the US is a pretty bad deal.
> It's difficult enough to get through the copyright issues to produce printed lab material for a class; publishing online adds an additional layer: Material has to be licensed for unlimited distribution, in a way that is compliant with each country's copyright laws.

You seem to assume that teaching always requires licensing copyrighted materials from others, like textbooks I guess. In my personal experience, that's not really necessary.

I've experienced higher education in two countries, Germany and China. In Germany, there were no mandatory textbooks. Professors always used materials they created themselves, sometimes just before they were needed, sometimes adapted from previous times the course was taught, sometimes in cooperation with other professors. If you wanted to read more about the topic from a different angle, you were free to read a textbook, but it was completely optional and I never did.

In China, the professors had all been to the US for their PhDs and they used textbooks popular there, always stressing which prestigious universities the book authors were affiliated with. That doesn't mean anyone bought the books. You'd usually get credentials for an FTP server that had all required material.

In neither case any copyrighted works were licensed. In Western countries you'd have to follow the German model, but in countries with less effective copyright enforcement, the Chinese model also works.

I'd recommend you to try KDE again. I run Arch Linux and KDE in my main work computer and I find the default config is awesome, there's no need to tweak anything, and it runs real fast (on the other hand I remember Kubuntu being slow). Of course, there are lots of advanced config settings, but there's no need to dig in. The default config is perfectly usable. Plus, the apps suite is where KDE really shines.

Suppose I am a Brazilian working in Brazil for a Brazilian company with Australian users.

Sure, they could forbid me from ever visiting Australia, and perhaps demand my extradition if I ever visit a few other countries, but I don't see what they could do to me in my country. In fact, I could even argue that obeying their demand would be illegal under my country's laws.
