It's a trick beginning musicians use. It allows them to be hired after they did a awful live performance that got them blacklisted. IIRC, Ian Anderson, from Jethro Tull, half-jokingly said on an interview this is how the band got its name - this was the name they had when they were stopped being blacklisted.
It's extremely easier to ingest a fatal dose, or even just enough for nicotine poisoning when you've got a liquid flavored like a dessert vs cigarettes.

Just did, thanks for the reminder. Had to first show my parents some alternative ways of messaging me outside of Facebook, but no I’m all set.
That's not an argument. You're just naming a game theory concept. A compelling argument would at least explain why and how it applies to this situation.
Protocol buffers and gRPC

Web api's are a lot of things. Some are transactional, like booking systems, inventory systems, banking systems, web shops...

Ed: however the thing with tls is that it is session based, and it's probably a good idea to surface that state to the application, so you had a connection-based transport, and you could say: "I know this session, it's encrypted, and I've flagged it as authenticated to this user, and can map that to authorization" - rather than have a cookie that can get stolen rather easily.

You might still hijack an encrypted session of course, but it should be a bit more tricky.
Shouldn't that be a driver? Why would pointing device support require a kernel update?
You should explain what you mean by decentralization. I think you are mixing concepts here and don't bring much to the discussion. What does "Decentralization of open source" means ?
It seems you are saying that having multiple contributors and auditors keeps linux safe, I wouldn't really call this "decentralization", you can have a centralized process that is audited by many persons.
These are all true, but they are weaker examples than the boots, where the rich guy bought a higher quality version of something which both needed, and still saved money.
No and see no reason to. I've 100+ Facebook friends that are fellow strength athletes, 99% of the time you find out about competitions via facebook friends sharing or expressing interest in attending.

It's how we plan social events at the facility I barbell at, the local Atari club I belong to etc.

It's how I find out about local shows without having to monitor local venue websites which may or may not be updated (some haven't been updated in years).

Most of my friends no longer live anywhere near me in Indy. I have friends in Australia, New Zealand, Florida, San Francisco, Germany, England, Hungary... Facebook is how I see what is going on in their lives and Facebook messenger is how I keep in touch with all of the ones now outside of the United States.

I don't mindlessly scroll through. People and pages that are important to me are marked as 'see first'. When I open Facebook I'll scroll 5-10 posts (a few times a day) unless I'm waiting on an appointment/oil change/whatever and then I'll scroll past that.

As far as privacy concerns... yeah I don't care. My domain is my name, my username just about everywhere is my name, if I share it online I don't care if every single human being alive sees it. If I don't want people seeing it, I... don't share it online.
Cleanest even when people make a mistake.

Nuclear has in all it's time killed less than coal does in a year, cars do in a year, nature does in a year. More people die from setting up solar or wind, the amount of animals that get killed by wind is in the millions I could go on.

The new nuclear power plants uses physics so there will be no meldown. Furhtermore more investing in Thorium and Fusion would be much much more beneficial and clean.

Alternative energies are linear solutions to exponential problems.
I'm not sure that book defining "stupid" as "reluctance to keep ones mouth shut about what had actually happened" and the context that even the officer privately conceded fault in his own management of the situation and thought the punishment system draconian strengthens the case for such service being a good idea as a minimum franchise requirement.

Thanks for piping up.

Charliecloud specifically doesn't require setuid, but many HPC systems won't have user namespaces enabled. (It removed the setuid component which allowed it to work on RHEL6, for instance.) You can also easily build a root for it under proot, for instance -- and proot itself is probably OK for running computationally-intensive work. HPC systems already have a privilege escalation mechanism available from the resource manager, but I don't know there's a problem using it for this sort of thing. Shifter controls the images, so you're not at risk from malformed filesystems, at least.

Definitely setuid in Singularity should worry people. It has a non-stellar security record, and has been less than transparent about issues. The last time I looked at the code for instance it still had many calls unchecked for error returns (including all mallocs), and wrote uninitialized memory to image files. It was a mistake to get it into Fedora, and HPC people should be a bit more circumspect. That said, resource managers probably provide most attack surface in HPC systems, in some case completely trivially.

By the way, it's often possible just to run programs from an unpacked filesystem of another distribution just by setting PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
No, and I keep a fb tab open. I actually quite like Facebook and the messenger thing is handy in that it works on the laptop with a real keyboard rather than being forced to poke at a bit of glass on the phone like many apps.

But I don’t really understand why you would need such a convoluted system to get/mutate some values in a data structure in Scala.

It allows you to work with deep data structures in a safe immutable way.

Scala is a nice language for working with data, the standard library, techniques such as lenses and ecosystems such as Spark all contribute to this.
Used it since 10.04 against over 100 servers and I agree it worked really well.

95% of the time it had packages I need and the rest of 5% only meant stuff I wanted to use was too new to go into packages of the LTS at that time.

Unless you need 10 years level of stability at the cost of losing package count and freshness to go with RHEL/CentOS, I don't think there isn't much of a reason not to use Ubuntu Server edition.
I like the _idea_ of it, but watching one of the Blazor sample sites pull down 1.65MB of mono.wasm_plus_ nearly two megabytes of DLLs (from mscorlib.dll, System.Core.dll) is... sobering.

(Just go over to https://blazor.net/community.html, pick a demo and fire up your web inspector of choice)

For this to be practical, it needs a lot of trimming down, and I'm not sure how viable it is to do AOT and go through all the assemblies to do branch pruning before generating a cut-down WASM.

I do see a lot of appeal for enterprise scenarios and code reuse, and I guess there is a lot of potential there.

Ok then, my argument is that decentralisation is a very ancient concept and that game theory exists because people with different world views, interests and goals have to negotiate with each other to survive.

Decentralisation is the process of ensuring there is no SPF and to minimise unbalances in power.

For instance, in my country, decentralisation would mean we would have independent state law (like the US) and that most of our decision making structures aren't physically and politically centred in the nation's capital. In technology, we can take the Linux kernel maintenance process as an example of how decentralisation makes it possible to have China, US and EU companies funding the development process and using the software without (too much) fear.
Which seems to be the case here, he did say those companies were dormant.
"Experimental quantum computing is still a relatively new discipline and comparable to the early days of classical computers in the 1950s."

This is one of the most interesting aspects of the current state of quantum computing. For anybody who 'wishes they were there' in the early days of classical computer development, whether it be Bletchley Park or Bell Labs, this is as good a chance as any to be one of the pioneers.

Anyone interested in the nitty gritty should brush up on their maths skills and pick up a copy of the excellent "Quantum Computing: A Gentle Introduction" by Eleanor Rieffel and Wolfgang Polak.
It returns a formatted string including the price and the currency code. Eg: "5000 USD".
let's keep in mind that even though Torvalds said this from the kernel point-of-view, he agreed in porting his userspace app Subsurface from C with GTK to C++ with Qt.

Besides, there's really not much point in comparing, 1991 non-standardized "vector<bool> sounds like an awesome idea but first we have to find a compiler which implements inheritance properly" C++ with 2018 "you can compile template metaprogramming and constexpr stuff on commodore 64 and windows 10 and it works fine" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBkNBP00wJE)

Clojure and Python.

Clojure was a language that I tried a few years back and never really got into - parentheses everywhere, who needs those?

But its syntax hides its functional elegance and is a really pleasant language to work with - even Java becomes bearable!

As for Python, I never had the chance to with with. Built a video stream server from Pi Camera using flask which is nice , small and simple - a lot simpler than I thought.

Also at work had to apply Python for a project too and easy the right tool for the job when dealing with file system entries that is on the gigabytes.

The rise of the direct-to-consumer home
Yes, it's part of system management to prevent users interfering with one another -- and at least detect problems that are difficult to prevent, like activity crippling a parallel filesystem, and sorting it out.
People think about this completely upsides down IMO.

Nature is killing more people every year than have been killed by nuclear in all its time. The sun is killing more people than dies of nuclear (Melanomas and skin cancer) I could go on.

Nuclear isn't as dangerous as it's been claimed and with never reactors the actual security procedure is physical. On top of that investments into thorium and fusion could have gotten us much further.

It's not that bigger is better it's that bigger is safer from a number of perspectives.

Nuclear is by far the safest, greenest, most scalable, reliable energy source we know how to use and it's many times safer than the very mother nature everyone seems to want to save.

Nature doesn't give us a safe, friendly environment we then make unsafe it gives us a hostile and dangerous environment which we then make safe.

Funny how disagreement in this always gets met with downvotes rather than at least argument or reasoned disagreement.

Why is it so hard for people to disagree about this without it turning into a downvote competition?

While I had the impression that GC support means the will expose the JavaScript engine's GC to be used by other languages and I don't know if it would work for all, is the GC really such a big chunk of these runtimes?

What Can We Learn from the Intel SPMD Program Compiler?
Linux drivers tend to be developed and maintained as part of the kernel rather than external plugins.

That said, there are still a few bad actors who refuse to do this, notably Nvidia.
Yes, the waste is actually recyclable and will become even more so in the future.

Anyone who is against nuclear simply hasn't looked at the facts. If you did and still came out against nuclear I would be pretty surprised and love to hear your arguments.
It’s safe to assume any travel by personal vehicle costs $0.50 cents per mile (or minute in urban areas since stop and go causes more wear and tear), including fuel and maintenance/saving for new vehicle. Driving 5 miles or minutes to get one item from the grocery list can cost an additional $5.
There is very little nuclear waste as most can be resused in new reactors and will soon be 100% reusable.

The amount of nuclear waste that actually exist is microscopic and I think you would be surprised when you actually see how little exist compared to the claims about it.
I can understand where Linus is coming from. C++ does indeed have STL and Boost into which much thought has gone. But they do not feel like an integral part of the language or a natural extension of it. The verbose, sometimes awkwardly complex syntax that results is also a problem. It may work for those who can stand this. But for others it is not so pleasant.

When using C++ I feel like too much of my time is spent having to understand how the abstractions work under the covers. I feel that this is somewhat pointless. Shouldn't a high level language free you from worrying about the details?
Most of those monuments were erected in the last 50 years, many in the last decade, and they were put there to remind people of the system of white supremacy that exists right now, today. Not 100 years ago. And the fact that you can just kick back with some chill people and ignore it speaks volumes about you, and your insulation from the real world. Some people are not so lucky.
Given that any colonization of space, can give the human race almost an infinite time to survive, evolve and grow in all possible facets of life. Id guess the cost/benefit, the benefits more or less tend to Infinity. Bring the ratio very close to 0.
He is running for governor and a democrat btw. He used to be against nuclear until he actually did the effort of understanding the facts and came out for it. This made him persona-non-grata by the environmentalists.

So if you want to talk about lobbyism...

But thanks for proving the point. Claiming he is a lobbyist anymore than you are is exactly the kind of shaming tactics that are being used instead of arguments to silence people the majority don't wan't to hear..
> said the cost of its technology may halve within four years, potentially boosting its uptake over lithium-ion units.

Chances are that Li-Ion prices will be reduced by at least as much, if not much more within 4 years, as the whole carmaking industry starts mass-producing EVs, and other huge Tesla, European, and Asian battery factories go online to serve that market of millions of EVs a year.

I think some Chinese battery maker recently said that they expect Li-Ion battery cell prices to fall to $50/kWh by 2025 (I think they are around $130-$150 now). It may actually happen a year or two earlier, at least for the industry leaders, with everyone else following soon after.

Personally, with the rise of all-electric vehicles and solar roofs/home battery systems (for which Li-Ion is much more convenient), I'm quite skeptical that other technologies will be able to beat Li-Ion in being used by power companies. The ecosystem and economies of scale will greatly favor Li-Ion, for now, and whatever new tech the battery makers decide to adopt later on (like solid state batteries).
They are far higher now. See Asteroid mining.

Drivers are usually part of the kernel source tree.
> But back to the topic, it is rather interesting how hard trackpads are to replicate on other systems with the same level of quality as Apple's own trackpads under macOS. I suspect that's why one of the recent Windows 10 updates brought in consistent APIs for trackpads and multi-touch gestures.

That's just as subjective as the regular mice. Personally I find their touchpads miserable to use compared to the competition.
For the most part, Linux ships with drivers in the kernel source tree.

This ensures it will remain maintained, and allows the developers to evolve subsystems in an incompatible way and update drivers accordingly.

The syscall interface is always maintained however. As Linus would say, “never break userspace”.
Something that came up in this article, is often brought up as a ‘gotcha’ in other articles and in discussions is the whole thing about a cotton bag needing 140 uses to be better than a plastic bag.

This has been so easy for me, but the fact it keeps coming up makes me think it’s not for other people? I have cotton bags that I have had for 3 -4 years that I still use a few times a week.

The first couple of weeks I would forget them. But I stuck with it and it’s just habit that I grab them on the way to the shops or throw them in my work bag in the morning.

Also the idea that plastic isn’t bad for the environment doesn’t make a difference about wether I want that stuff floating around in the ocean or ruining beaches/forests. Make producers pay for the clean up. F them.

Any article using the term “white flight” is to be regarded as ideological propaganda.

When you are performing analysis at the level of blaming white People for moving, you are not looking at serious material.
You also have to think about externalities that improve human life and a bunch of other things.

So yes you have to make the cost benefit analysis. I have yet to see someone make a cost benefit analysis that would make solar and wind come out on top.
Ancient flamewar topics are insanely boring
On macOS, they are absolutely awesome. The Magic Trackpad 2 has a motor for haptic feedback. Applications like OmniGraffle use this to give a subtle vibration when you are dragging an object and it aligns with another object. So you can feel the alignments when you’re dragging.

Very useful undersold feature.
If your argument for STL/Boost is "A typical C or C++ programmer simply will not write anything more efficient or more robust than the methods in these libraries if they decide to roll their own", it's a sign you might be missing the point :P

Is there a common idiom in C++ to deep copy a multi-level structure so you can then change a field? In C I know there isn't, and you can not create a generic function for it either.

How do you pass a member identification as a parameter to a function that may receive any kind of structure, and then update that member?

Haskell has record accessors too, that are more equivalent to the C functionality. Lenses are a different thing.
Reinforcement Learning (RL) Tutorial with Demo
exactly - it's that "system level" kernel point of view that's important - I write a lot of embedded/real time/kernel code and essentially the thing you have to avoid is "new" which is sort of the heart of the language ....

Why new? because you don't have a heap in the kernel, or practically on a system with 20k or ram, new is also bad in real time code because underneath it is malloc and (like printf/stdio) all the mutexes that protect code that is messing with the heap structure .... and that way lies priority inversions and heisenbugs and other dark beasties ...

(for a lot of real time code new is great at the beginning of time, but not on the fly while the world is running)

If they load these DLLs on demand, why not?

Companies will want to use their existing code-bases to make better SaaS offerings, Unity and Epic are already leveraging their C++ and C# engines.

I don't think too many people will start throwing new projects in the Web that are based on C#, Java or Go, 99% will be existing projects.

Probably Rust will make this race. It's more modern, no GC, almost C like performance and pushed by Mozilla who is THE company with the most Web know-how.

First it will eat the libraries and if they can flatten out the learning curve a bit, probably even the rest of the stack.

Have they increased the cycle efficiency? Off the top of my head there is a round trip efficiency of ~70-80% compared to 85-95+ with Lithium.
