I have recently started to deliberately mix ages when I see a variation, knowing that at least some of it will be consumed pretty soon and order will be assured by the way I arrange out fridge contents. It feels unjustifiably good.

So how do you know they wouldn't just plant more if people paid more?

like looking through a fisheye lens? just distortion, and sounds like your prescription needs checking as your brain should compensate for distortion from vision corrections (up to a point).
Milk goes bad much quicker once opened though, check if they have smaller bottles available. It's often more expensive per liter but at least it doesn't end up in the sink.
I haven't seen this ever. Algorithmic skills have never been correlating with productivity or maintainable code in any of those 7 companies I worked in.
Sounds like the problem lies within your organisation. My guess is that you lack someone who can actually evaluate a candidate properly based on conversion and need to resort to other means.

Also the UK the first 2 years are effectively at will
If it's transparent, why would you care?
Explain to me how certain relevant aspects of wealth such as food, housing, energy or not wrecking the planet are not a zero sum game.
Perhaps for the UK, but what about allies like France and Switzerland?
It's a strange moral relativism blindly defending backdoored products [0] from the US/Five Eyes who have been caught committing corporate espionage against these allies [1] for decades.

It sort of nullifies the entire argument of being in the "right". As far as IP theft goes, India has a bipartisan policy of willfully stealing and then exporting pharma IP, it's blatant and rampant.[2] Tens of billions stolen each year from the US alone and to add insult India pharma's biggest export market is the US. Yet you'll see none of the rhetoric that comes with China's rampant manufacturing IP theft.

If people are happy to admit it's essentially now a team sport and everyone is playing the game that's fine, but claiming to have moral superiority on these matters is amusingly easy to debunk.

One thing that wasn't touched on - the mirror network. There are 100's of mirrors for all the major distros ran by third parties, if e.g. Debian wanted apt over HTTPS, they would need to hand out a debian.org SSL cert+key to all of them.

(And convince them all to take the CPU overhead hit of TLS)

EDIT: Since I can't reply to all the downvoters, I'll add here.. LetsEncrypt does not solve this. http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ - that goes to likely 10's of different mirrors. Which one will the LetsEncrypt verification call hit?
The next step I would have shown if I wrote this article, would have been to tell reader that JS generators as they are now, do not work with async / wait.

As long as you have some simple Fibonacci interview question they look nice to show off, but when you want to use them for real like return some paginated data from server as on going iterator, then current JS generators cannot be used.

This makes js generators limited for any real usage, given JS IO is async.
I'd blame the system that let him do something like that rather than the person, he was young and got strictly nothing from it even it if would have worked. In the mean time his bosses and their bosses are still happily in the business.
That's an important distinction. If you sound like you're questioning every instruction or you don't understand the tasks then your boss is going to get frustrated with you.

If you have a poor memory like me, repeating things back is important to help you remember them too. Since I work in office type environment, I try to repeat things back by writing them down where both the requester and I can see them - such as in a job ticket or email. This also helps if a third party joins the task later or if the task gets put on hold.
This is very nice. I'd like to see the Solarized color scheme and Apple's SF Mono.
I guess it's terminating the HTTPS traffic and then proxying on to the respective server.
> spend several hours doing some simple fizzbuzz

When I see people mentioning fizzbuzz, it's always to filter out people who really can't program. If you just give me ten minutes to solve a fizzbuzz-like problem, that should be plenty of time for me to solve it given that I do know how to program, and just that single test would be enough to filter out those who don't. I don't see why it would have to take several hours.
I don't care for home-brew security, I need something standard.

Also... the firewall at work breaks APT HTTP pipelining. Very very annoying. It would not be able to do so if APT was using HTTPS.
You misread the post, as you are both saying the same thing.

A good rule of thumb, and something I learned while at medical school is that if something wakes you or interferes with your sleep; especially a headache, but would be applicable for anything else such as a cough, or pain somewhere in general; it would be in your best interest to go see a doctor about it.

> 24 bit audio depth matters,

Please forgive me but I'm not going to just accept someone's word on this when the science seems to point in the other direction.

Is there any properly conducted test that backs this up?
Not sure what you are asking. Why use 140 instead of 160 Kbps? 140 produces smaller file size, and is practically transparent as far as I know.

Or you mean why reencode later from lossless again, if a better codec appears? If it will be better, it will offer some benefits (smaller size, faster decoding and so on). So why not?
Meat won't stop being fed just because there's no ugly produce, so whether meat production is wasteful is kinda irrelevant. Ugly produce not wasted on cattle will just lead to more fields being wasted to grow food for cattle.

Advanced Mac Substitute: API-level reimplementation of classic Mac OS
Yes Luxembourg will be first, here is a good article about it: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/dec/05/luxembourg-to-...

It was already really cheap, but it was annoying to always have to buy a ticket, have coins in your pocket to do so or remember to recharge your card. As a luxembourgish citizen that uses buses and the tram in luxembourg city from time to time, especially the night shuttles back home after going out, so I'm really happy this will finally soon happen.

I also think it financially makes sense for the country, all public transport costs the country 1 billion but the fares only bring 30 million in, so covering those last 30 million by taxes is in my opinion a good idea. The ticket machines can now get abolished which will save costs too and the workers controlling tickets will be able to do other tasks like related to security instead of hunting down people that didn't pay their 2 euro ticket.
The point of the article is that Debian's trust model does not privilege the package servers - anyone can set one up, using whatever hair-brained technology they want (even, say, BitTorrent). The packages are individually signed and verified. SSL doesn't get you anything. It's the end-to-end principle in action.
The signature method used by Linux mirrors has existed longer than HTTPS has, there's nothing homebrew about it.
One problem that I do have is that, although I'm prepared to take a relatively large pay cut if I'm really passionate about something, one thing I do care about is working with capable colleagues and being able to actually achieve the thing I'm passionate about. That's less likely to be the case when a job doesn't pay well, unfortunately.
What they probably do (among other things) is racial profiling: brown person with beard -> bigger chances of being a terrorist, white person with hipster glasses -> less chances of being a terrorist.
The article points out that HTTPS offers almost no protection against this kind of surveillance, since packages are almost uniquely identifiable by size.
TL;DR

> providing a huge worldwide mirror network available over SSL is [...] a complicated engineering task

> A switch to HTTPS would also mean you could not take advantage of local proxy servers
So? In the age of Let's Encrypt, this task is (or rather, should be) downright trivial.

Source: Using multiple dozens of LE-issued certs without even thinking about it.
Maybe ship to friend / family address? Just an idea.
What? No.

The mirrors would just need to install a letsencrypt-compatible client and setup SSL via that.

On any modern CPU since 2011 or so, TLS overhead is below a percent and a decent cheap dedicated box should be able to saturate a 1 Gbps uplink.
That's only for the mirrors which have a shared debian.org hostname. If you use e.g. mirrorbrain it'll redirect to the closest mirror.

Based upon https://www.debian.org/mirror/list, it seems they all have pretty much unique hostnames (ftp.<COUNTRY>.debian.org). You can easily get a certificate for that.

In brief: It's not a huge issue to get a certificate.
I used to be like that. Then I switched to a 40" 4k TV as a monitor a year (or two?) ago. You quickly find that it works best less as a small display into some large space (as you might view a virtual desktop view) and more like a chunk of the wall in front of you has become much more dynamic.

It's much harder to see it all at once, so you end up just treating it as a free floating space to organize things, much like a real desktop (do you layer all your items our to maximize used space on physical desks as well?).

While not working, I'll spend most the time with a browser window utilizing slightly more than a quarter of the screen towards the bottom left, and not much else, maybe some small transient file folder windows.

While working, I keep the browser, but I add a few large terminal windows. Usually one mostly upper center, bottom right, but the upper center one might overlap other windows slightly (because why not? I can make it large without slight overlap and very little loss of passive usefulness of other windows).

It's fairly liberating. I now view tight control and maximizing utilized space as a response to lack of space, which is no longer my problem. In the beginning, I wasn't sure if I was going to regret this, and was looking for utilities to set screen areas that I could maximize to, or save presets for certain applications. Then I just let go, and it's been wonderful ever since.

If you're interested, I still recommend the TV I got (or something better maybe now). It's got low input lag (~13ms) and does 60hz at 4k, all for about $500 at Amazon[1] (I think it was ~$400 when I got it on sale).

Lower/moderate density could still mean apartments, just constructed without much concrete or steel. You don’t necessarily neeed concrete slabs with smaller buildings. Transportation could be solar powered. It’s at least plausible that moderate density villages networked by sustainable transport could be more ecological than high density concrete/steel structures.

All I’m saying is I don’t hear urbanists talking about the carbon footprint of construction. It’s like an article of faith that high density is ecological.

I think you're underestimating the problem. In most industrialized nations the gap between rich and poor has been increasing since the 50s of last century. The ever increasing division between the rich and the poor is one of the biggest problems of the 21st Century.

In one way or another, societies will have to tackle this problem or there will be some major social disruptions such as widespread civil unrest, radicalization, mass migration, revolutions, and civil war. All of these possibilities may seem like on-issues to you in your country now, but we already see their beginnings and the trend towards increasing the gap continues.

To make this clear, I'm not talking about politics. If the trend is not stopped, there will be problems regardless of what political opinions you have.

Why is it not a good idea to sum up the net worth of the poor

Because it gives weird outcomes like a when newly graduated lawyer with a $200K salary and a massive student debt is considered much poorer than someone in sub-Saharan Africa earning $2 a day but is debt free.
> You can't search for something you don't even know the name of

You can if those search results aren't limited to literal name matches, but also consider the intentions the user expresses with their search terms. Maybe associate a bunch of keywords with the result. Terms like "backup", "update" or "presentation" should lead to relevant applications/settings regardless of what they are actually called.
Considering that number of "abdominal breathers" is miniscule compared to chest breathers, I assume that the latter will have higher number in almost any statistics.
With HTTPS you would be able to use HTTP/2 which means you can multiplex a single connection and once you download more than 2 packages, identifying which you installed is impossible.

With plain HTTP it remains possible no matter how much pipelining you do.

Paris is losing people because the lodging costs are too high anyway
That was largely the case until recently, but I don't think it would be difficult now to set up LetsEncrypt and do HTTP-01 challenges. A slightly more complicated set up, but one entirely within the Debian org's means, would be to use the DNS-01 challenge.

But to the article's point, the DNS requests and IPs and file sizes would all be largely transparent, and that's probably enough to figure out what's being downloaded.

On the other hand, HTTP/2 could improve throughput and ensure proxies aren't tampering or replaying.

Show HN: Visual Basic 6 reimagined in JavaScript
The same goes the other way too though. Nobody can consume 1,000,000,000 loafs of bread.
Wealth inquality (up to a point, of course) is, in general, actually a good thing. The more concentrated wealth is, the more easily and more cheaply it can leveraged to affect change. A good example might be the Gates Foundation. Through Bill Gates’ concentration of wealth, he can allocate money to help the world with very little friction and overhead

Other examples include VC or hedge funds. While they don’t own the money themselves (they merely aggregate and invest it on the behalf of others), the reason this happens is because it’s much more profitable and efficient to invest one large pot of cash vs many small pots of cash.

PS: If someone wants to bring up that index funds are better, it’s still the same principle at work. The expense ratio of a S&P 500 index fund are much smaller than what most individuals could manage themselves.

With TLS, Eve cannot see (as easily) which packages Alice is downloading from Bob's mirror. If she could, Eve could use that information to decide which exploitable applications to target on Alice's machine.

I do too

so far the best setup that works with me is 3 monitors: 1x landscape (left) and 2x portrait (right)

using something like Spectacle [0] to arrange the windows quickly

VSCode spread on the 2 portraits in a grid (2x2) layout is pretty roomy

I found out that 25" monitors work better than 27" (too high and not wide enough in portrait)

I like the Dell UtlraSharp but YMMV

It's almost as if ecology will keep us in check if we wont do it ourselves. We aren't causing a perversion of nature, we are part of it and it is responding to us.

I'm ok with that. And human society being a disease on the environment will be cleansed and fought off by the auto-immune response of a warmed planet.

There isn't a problem.

Less wealth at the top, means more wealth all around.

Even if you're going to use it long before the date matters, so you get an identical experience anyway?

That sounds like a bunch of labor that will make things more expensive. If they really want to trade effort for getting two-day-older stock cleared out, they can just let the shelf get closer to empty before restocking.
All irrelevant. The firing was nothing personal. Tesla needs to stay alive. These people can either all suffer minority now, or whole company suffer later.
It has nothing to do with a specific rich person, it's the underlying systems, institutions, and human-made rules that make such realities possible that's of concern.

It's about the allocation of resources, efficiency of the marketplace, assymetry of wealth and political power and how it affects the democratic project we've all been engaged in globally for a few hundred years.

Economic systems are human-invented games; the rules can be rewritten. Things as basic as property and trade are human constructed concept with fine human-constructed nuances (people aren't property for instance) The laws are a chosen set of axioms that can be voluntarily changed.

The question is if this is the outcome we'd like to see from an optimal set of rules. Can't we design something better that doesn't lead to mass extinction, climate change, mass poverty, and a system that crashes the global economy every 10 years?

These are open challenges to improve things, that is, if we choose to take those challenges on.
They are spending millions of dollars lobbying and poisoning the law.

I'm a bit sceptical about the replies to my question so far, because where I live individual debts have to paid and massive debts will make your life miserable. So I definitely think they should be included into a meaningful indicator.

> not reliably replicated since then

My understanding tis that the studies were replicated in rats, cats and humans.

From https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2657838/

> Despite the limitations of their study, the findings of Yerkes and Dodson were subsequently replicated in cats (Dodson, 1915), rats (Broadhurst, 1957; Telegdy and Cohen 1971) and people (Dickman, 2002; Bregman and McAllister 1982; Anderson, 1994), and became part of the lexicon of the field of psychology as the “Yerkes-Dodson Law” (Young, 1936; Eysenk, 1955).
My team is moving across from Bash to Python for non-trivial scripting. I hate it, but we're adopting Python 2.x. Our old servers are on SLES 11 which has Python 2.6 and even our new boxes have RHEL 7 which has Python 2.7 only by default. Getting the base system packages updated across all our systems and environments would be monumentally painful, so we're really stuck. It's not that Python 2.x is painful to use or anything, it's still a great language but being stuck using it seems pointless.

I'm really upset at the distro vendors, they should have upgraded their base system Python scripts to 3.x years ago and just included 2.7 for legacy support. RHEL 7.0 came out in 2014 for goodness sake.
