It is "meditational" for me as well. Running is my favorite place to think and to relax, but I think this is more due to independence and solitude.

Abstraction. I can tell you with 100% confidence that any of these logic bugs are created by unecessary abstraction.

Anybody working in security will tell you the same. Piles of abstractions make it impossible to find out these bugs. You need a month of work to understand these codebases, often only the main developer has the architecture in its head.

I'd agree on exercise being ineffective, or only marginally effective as a way to control weight long term. However there are surprisingly effective strategies to lose a lot a weight in a short time period(days-weeks) with low-intensity steady state.

> Because it's a bug for some, and intended behavior for others. Look, you make it as if they introduced a bug on purpose to screw with some people. It's clearly not the case, there was a specific tradeoff involved.

They broke userland.

It doesn't matter what tradeoff they made - they went against POSIX behaviour, and as a result, broke numerous utilities, both past and future.

Let's say that again - systemd introduced breaking behaviour on userland, against POSIX, and instead of backing down and allowing for expected and specified behaviour, they said it's everyone else's problem.

That is neither professional, nor responsible.

When you make a mistake, a mistake that breaks the behaviour of POSIX, and POSIX utilities like _cron_, you apologise, and fix the problem.

You don't turn around and say that all the sysutils should incorporate your new idea.

What Is the Point of Docker?
So I am reading about Docker because I have seen quite few articles about but never really investigated it till now. However, I don't get the point? It seems like the main benefit is it makes sure all your dependencies are contained in a single unit.

However, if that was a concern I could just statically compile my code and any dependencies in a single binary. If that's a concern why use shared libraries and introduce this additionally layer?

It appears your paper advocates a combination of partial fasting with cardiovascular exercise, which I'm confident, works exactly as described :) and lines up with the research I've seen that exercising while fasted is more beneficial than when fed. [1] Though the fasting research I have done seems to indicate that protein sparing fasts aren't necessarily better than total abstention of food, and that protein lost during complete fasts is quickly regained upon re-feeding. [2] I speculate that this is connected to the huge spike in human growth hormone that occurs (hundreds of percent) during fasting. [3]

This would be an example where I'd argue the diet component (i.e. not eating) is much more important than the exercise component. Your BMR is ~2500kcal/day (10,000) and fat stores ~3500kcal, so fasting alone should account for 3 pounds of fat, and the 32 hours of exercise (low intensity, 330kcal/hr * 30hr = 10,000) the balance. This kind of math only works because you've got nothing coming in.

Uganda: Coffee Firm to Use Blockchain in Supply Chain
That comes down entirely to how systemd is configured. If you don't like what your chosen distro has picked as the default then complain to them. systemd didn't force anyone's hand on the subject, they just added the feature. It's a pretty natural design choice IMHO. When I want to log out, I don't want to let some hung up daemon keep running just because it wasn't able to process the SIGHUP sent to it.

How else do you propose to make sure that when I log off my ssh-agent is really terminated and not just locked up with my keys still in memory? The POSIX approach is insufficient, there's no way to know if a process received a signal and chose to ignore it and keep running or if it received a signal but it was deadlocked and kept running.
The big races are a few hundred dollars to enter. Figure about that again in qualifiers or other races during training. If you're traveling, you'll need gas money and possibly a hotel. Say $400-500 in entry fees.

You'll probably also go through 3-4(?) pairs of running shoes, which are probably around $75-100 each, for a total of $300.

You might want some extra work-out clothes. Most of these could be cheap, but you'll probably want something fairly fancy for the race day itself--running 26 miles in a heavy cotton shirt sounds miserable. A few hundred dollars doesn't seem crazy, depending on what you already own. You could economize here--or you could go crazy.

You might want some kind of coaching, or possibly a gym membership to mix up your training (e.g., swim when hurt). This seems to depend on a lot on where you live, but $50/month doesn't seem nuts for NYC. Over a year, that's $600.

That should put you in the ballpark.

I studied bioengineering and bioinformatics and have often brought up this idea in conversations. Honestly, I think it's more that people simply don't realize / have ever thought of it because most are quite receptive to it.

Many years ago, typical laser printers offered 300DPI. Then new engines came out that could print at 600DPI. Twice as many pixels in each direction, so four times as many pixels per printed character.

No one complained that everything had to be magnified 200% to print on the new engines - even though that was going on behind the scenes. Instead, everyone enjoyed the new sharper and crisper printouts. And it was wonderful.

The same is true for displays. When you have a display that can run at 200% scaling, that gives you four times the pixels per character compared to your old 100% display.

Everyone's taste is different, but for myself, give me all the pixels I can get. I don't like pixels and I don't want to see them. I want to see the text and graphics I'm working on. If the display has more pixels to represent those, to the point where I can't even see the pixels any more, that's what I want.

systemd broke UNIX. Everything that worked before, now is a mine field. Last week I had a SLES virtual machine refusing to boot, no network, just emergency shell. The reason was a forgotten line in fstab (without nofail option of course), so systemd couldn't mount some file system. Coming from Gentoo, this is just unbelievable.
Weev found that certain urls had private AT&T user information on them, and scraped them to get 114k users' information. Then he notified a journalist and sent the information to the journalist as proof.

In a Data Structures class a few years ago, during a review for our upcoming exam, the professor had to abruptly leave the room... I forget why. While they were gone, a Chinese student runs up to the podium and grabs the papers the professor was reading from and takes it back to their large friend group. When the professor returned, they didn't have their notes (I think it was a previous year exam). Feeling uncomfortable, the professor was unable to get the thief to confess, and class was over.

About one day before the exam, a friend of mine said he was offered the texts and it had circulated to pretty much anyone who wanted it.

Maslow's hierarchy applies here. I won't start worrying about freedom of speech till I have food and stability.

Could someone here talk more about the "no shop" clause, which seems 100% geared toward giving a buyer better than a competitive price. But, the document says it is the only term that is legally binding!

How is "nothing in this document is legally binding and the buyer doesn't have to buy, EXCEPT for the term that the seller may not talk to any other buyers in any way." What kind of sense does that make? Would you "accept" an offer to sell your car that says it isn't binding in any way except that you may not talk to anyone else about selling your car to them, for the next 30 days?

Also since it says it is "legally binding" what are the remedies? What is the history of such a term?

Why would founders agree to it and actually follow it?

It’s a container, which has its own networking and process containment. (You can list the processes running and you will only see your own process running in the container.) You get to build and configure your container using the command line. And contain those steps as a definition file is reproducibility and “infrastructure as code” is handled.

And these containers can run on a bare metal Linux box, so unlike VMs Docker removes abstractions and overhead.

Docker simplifies software development and deployment so you don’t need a lot of additional configuration tools for infrastructure as code.

> They broke userland.

So? "We don't break userland" is a Linux kernel thing. Systemd is not kernel, it's userland, and userland things break other userland things all the time. They already broke lots of existing stuff when they replaced /etc/init.d/ scripts with systemd definition files, should systemd also have not done that?

> It doesn't matter what tradeoff they made - they went against POSIX behaviour, and as a result, broke numerous utilities, both past and future.

Linux is not POSIX, so I don't see how that's relevant. For what it's worth, I don't even know what part of POSIX it broke. Care to enlighten me?

As one who speaks Chinese, I find what you said is a blatant lie.

In deed, “打破技术封锁” means to break the technical blockade, but by means of independent innovation, not stealing "trade secrets". Given China has the biggest force of engineers and scientists in the world, it is not so hard to understand.

Fact check, Huawei is the only full 5G solution provider in the world; whereas no such company can be found in the US.

So when you or your friends think the US has much to be stolen by China, think twice.

I (a man) feel uncomfortable walking, let alone running, in any neighborhood, safe or not.

> upper middle class Americans favor endurance sports as a way to demonstrate "moral character, self-control, and self-development, rather than physical dominance."

As an upper middle class runner, I can definitely agree with that statement. At times, I feel like my habits of running give me a little bit of an edge over my peers at some level.
There is not, yet.
Yes, I experience this routinely. As do many other people at my company.

In particular it happens when attaching external monitors while the screen is locked. There's a flash of the unlocked desktop.

I am guessing this is because the screen lock is an application drawing over top of the monitor, like XScreensaver on Linux does. A more secure-by-default architecture would have screen locking built into the display server at some lower level: If the screen is not unlocked, it will not allow the data to be passed to the GPU. It's easy for me to arm-chair architect though.
I’ve dabbled with iOS development and Xcode doesn’t seem that braggable as a tool.

Of course the modern Javascript web stack isn’t pretty either, so I guess what I’m saying is everything sucks a bit.

I’ve seen nice results and crappy results regardless of what particular stack it’s made in. IMO the biggest difference shows up in integration with the rest of the system. If you want to hook into the Files app or Siri Shortcuts, native apps certainly have a leg up.

My 4k 15" in 1080p is much sharper looking than a native 1080p screen, but I prefer to run 4k with 2x scaling.
Also the whole "One solution for people who don't like it is to create their own alternative; that is a good way to find out just how much fun that task is."

This seems to imply that those criticizing it didn't have alternatives, which is just not true. However it is so monolithic that as soon as a tiny part is depended on by something else (e.g. gnome) alternatives quickly become a non-starter.

systemd seems to be getting rewarded by not playing well with others which is something that plays strongly into a lot of people's dislike with it.

That's... uncharitable. I also have a 4k screen on my XPS 15. Why would I care whether it's OLED? 4k on a 15 inch screen has been in production laptops for years.

There's a benefit, you're just not seeing it.
