People are risk averse. The maximum sentences exist to scare people into irrationally pleading guilty when they are innocent. Federal maximum sentences are out of line with state sentencing because the federal government is less local and less accountable. Many federal crimes exist solely to trump up this maximum possible sentence. Politically connected people use this system to protect themselves against whistleblowers and political activists like Swartz and Snowden. I dont think you have addressed any of these points.

There is no NOHUP signal, you're referring to SIGHUP.

See the enable-linger option for loginctl and KillUserProcesses for logind.conf. KillUserProcesses was set to default enabled on 4/9/2016, prior to that it didn't happen, but was configurable if desired.

I experience the same than the author.
But I have absolutely not the same problem with a declarative language such as QML, Cascade, Android xml, Jboss rules engines, etc...

I don't think it is caused by this aspect of CSS.

The problem could come from the fact that it mixes 2 purposes: style AND layout to apply it globally with rules that get harder to understand the bigger the project.
I run and bike, and I've wondered about this too. Running seems like it should be the most affordable sport, but in America, at least, runners tend to be affluent. Perhaps wealthy areas are more hospitable to running, but I don't think that explains much.

I remember reading an article in the New Yorker about a retreat where people would go to participate in extended fasts. It struck me you need to come from abundance for the idea of recreational starvation to be appealing, and I think something similar could be said for sports like running, where punishment and self-denial are nearly an aim in themselves.

Another article I'm reminded of is "How the Other Half Lifts"[1]. There the author muses on cultural differences between strength and endurance sports. He suggests that upper middle class Americans favor endurance sports as a way to demonstrate "moral character, self-control, and self-development, rather than physical dominance." (My impression is that weight lifting has enjoyed something of a renaissance in recent years, though.)

So back when I was much much younger & brasher, my email signature was "Laziness is an Optimization Protocol". I used that email for applying to my Master's programs, including some of my country's most prestigious (and ergo competitive) places.

And I think one reason I got into one of them is because my future advisor saw this, chuckled, but then proceeded to have a conversation with me about the importance of being "smart" about how we approach questions, and being efficient about resource use (including time)..

I was being cheeky; but he saw that I was kinda / sorta aware of a deeper idea, and helped me develop & identify it. It has stayed with me since.

Have you actually reviewed the story of GT Advanced?

Yes. They originally wanted to just sell furnaces to Apple, but Apple pushed them into a deal where GT Advanced took all the risk of making the end product. The management of GT Advanced should have rejected that deal, but they took the "fake it til you make it" route, and it didn't end well. There's still litigation underway involving Apple.

> Incidentally, but very likely related, I always failed to have any glimpse into how design works. I have no idea which colors "go" with which ones, and pretty much all fonts look like the same for me.

I'd just want to point out this is completely unrelated: the best people I know when it comes to designing interfaces (both UI and UX) don't know much CSS. That's very much a creative field.

I can do CSS without many problems (nothing too fancy but slicing any interface or basic flexbox grids for layout and such). CSS isn't complex, just very foreign. Understanding the "rules" (cascading, priority) isn't hard, but knowing how to use it (how to target the element you want, what css to use to get the positioning/styling you actually want) takes a lot of practice. Though when it comes to creating a beautiful page I'm of no use.

The best/only way to lose weight is diet (and I don't mean "a diet" but changing what goes into your mouth). Exercise of any variety is marginally helpful at best in isolation. It's great for all sorts of other things, but losing weight, not so much. Even the American Heart Association [1] kind of beats around the bush saying "maximum benefits" start at 5 hours per week (spread out 1h per day 5 days per week) and they go out of their way not to use the words "lose weight" but rather "less weight gain."

The adage about losing weight through "diet and exercise" is half lie. [2]

Don't get me wrong, you should exercise anyways, but don't expect to lose weight. That's on your diet.

Damn. So I'm just a simple Debian user. Systemd showed up, so I learned as much as I needed. And in some ways, I found it easier to use than init scripts.

Now I've been using Docker. And there is no systemd in containers. But of course, why would you want that? But the problem is that many packages now depend on systemd. Or at least, useful features do. So I'm back to fighting with scripts. It's funny, no?

>It's not that people are opposed to change, it's that there are legit concerns about some of the ways systemd works and is implemented, and the way it's been ham-fisted as a political move in a lot of ways.

I personally think the industry needs a lot more resistance to change when it comes to interfaces and other things humans have to understand.

I mean, I'm not talking about systemd in particular; I'm talking about in general about how interfaces change over time and people don't seem to take into account the cognitive costs of that change. Sure, ss is better than netstat and IP is better than ifconfig... but how much of that 'better' could you have done in a way that didn't toss away the historical knowledge so many people have of those tools?

And really, sysadmin tools are the least of it; I mean, they are operated by professionals, so if you want to pay for retraining (or pay the costs associated with there being fewer of us)

People change customer facing interfaces to no benefit all the time, forcing people who are trying to do other things to put effort into re-learning their interface.

I mean, my point is that interface changes are expensive, and should not be undertaken without a really good argument that they bring more benefit than the cost of retraining.
This might be a good place to ask: does anyone remember that study showing which sports were enjoyed (as spectators or as players) by which income brackets? E.g. golf had fans with high average income, while basketball fans had a lower income, and the former had a much smaller gap between the 10th and 90th percentiles as well.
Yeah, but... CompSci college homework... really isn't that hard? I mean, with some coaching and effort, I can study enough get most of those questions even though my math abilities top out somewhere around high school trig.

> It's sort of like object-oriented inheritance

With the key difference being that there's no rigid structure to it at all, much less a strict-subset hierarchy. It's really more like structural object types, which can be easily composed, than OOP classes. It's set theory, rather than taxonomy.

> Without some sort of build system, static analysis is difficult so it's hard to say if a definition is being used or not

This can be easily solved with good project organization. At my day job I maintain a codebase with a couple hundred SCSS files, which are on average a couple hundred lines each. We've organized things well enough that the cascade is a non-issue, and "leftover" styles from an element that's been removed are a rare occurrence. All you have to do is closely mirror your UI components, pages, fragments, whatever, with the relevant CSS files. Then if you add or remove something in the markup, you add or remove it in the corresponding styles.

> don't follow naturally from "make this thing look this way"

This is precisely the problem; programmers come from a background where they think in terms of "make it do this thing", and they try to translate that to "make this thing look this way". That's how you create supremely fragile CSS which is impossible to safely make changes to. Instead you should be thinking in terms of, "make it behave this way in the general case, relative to what's around it".
I am getting application error while opening the link. Anybody facing the same issue?
Systemd's response was to say that they should incorporate systemd's library, and use systemd's new daemonization API.

By "use systemd's new demonization API" you mean, instead of

$ screen

systemd asks you to write

$ systemd-run --scope --user screen

instead. Annoying to have to learn a new thing, but hardly the unbearable burden.

On the other hand, when you're an impacted user who's lost work, and researching the bug leads you to a years-old discussion in which someone is actively denying that the bug exists and refusing to fix it, that's infuriating.

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.
CenterMax: The most straightforward design guideline

I must be missing something, because isn't 3 images side by side just:

<div><img ...><img ...><img ...></div>

? But you're right, the web isn't a UI platform. It's designed for to produce things that are like Microsoft Word documents. Web-apps are like using MSWord's scripting and text layout to produce a MSWord-app. Yeah, one can do it, but it's like cutting a steak with a spoon.
You didn't even bring into consideration the app store approval process which can take 2-3 weeks and likely would reject this as a feature removal without user notification.
It was code that even let one make simple files to start up one shot process or daemons. If a long running daemon died it would restart it. Plus it handled the getting the status of orphaned processes, and few other things.

Really the biggest issue with systemd is is scope creep scope creep means more and more packages will have systemd as a hard dependency. Like there some aspects of gnome that will not work without systemd, but at least it's not entirely a hard dependency just means you lose features unless you patch gnome.

So every bugfix is a rebuild from current, not from "released"? This seems like not a real process.
I used a combination of Hugo, Python script and a separate Netlify site to serve ~1k images.

The python script cropped, resized and optimized images.

Hugo generated a simple image site with an API-like url schema that could be consumed by my main, also Hugo, site using the getJSON function.

Do the images change frequently, or is the situation more one and done?

>He would instead want to place this/that here/there, and never really got his head around the notion that he was building a web page that scrolls,

Not only that but you are building a page that displays on all kinds of screen sizes so you just have no idea how much space there is between here and there. Thats 90% of what makes CSS hard because depending on what screen you are on, you can't just put something here because here doesn't exist for everyone.

I think CSS is designed fairly well its just that its solving a very complex problem of how do you make one page display on all kinds of devices without having to define layouts for them all.

I think you over-simplify — engineers slot into different roles/disciplines within large companies.

There are going to be engineers that have to deal with driver-level code that know full well the limitations of memory constraints, thread overhead, etc.

No doubt you're describing the other half — the app engineers that use the API/SPI's. It might even be argued though that, given a well defined API, they should not have to worry about how much memory a JPEG requires ... the API decompressing the image only when rendering to the destination or what-have-you. Pointers, memory management should be managed by the low-level parts of the language or OS/kernel.

I happen to like the bit-banging, pointer walking, free-wheeling world of straight C but I don't begrudge higher level languages that are designed to tackle the more modern pressures of concurrency and "asynchronicity".

I'm curious if there is a similar divide between individual sports and team sports. Virtually all the endurance sports discussed in this article are individual sports (with the possible exception of obstacle course races, but even then you aren't actively, directly engaged against another team like you are in sports like basketball, soccer, football, baseball, etc.)

My hypothesis is that getting an actual team (or teams) together to practice is something that is easier for people who are longer on time, shorter on money, while individual sports can be indulged by people with more money but where it is more difficult to synchronize schedules for team practice.

Amazon has issues with language, and I imagine some of it is licensing, but like several times I've done the "try to learn a foreign language by reading the same book in two different languages" thing, and it's really hard to do with the kindle. Like spanish and french and Japanese are mostly just not available to me on my US amazon account.

I mean, I can get an amazon.co.jp and amazon.fr and amazon.es account, and tie them to different kindles, but each time I want to switch kindles, i have to wipe the thing, and get rid of my english books.

I'm totally willing to pay a premium for kindle convenience, and deal with not being able to loan books so easily, etc, etc, the kindle walled garden actually works really well for me in English but once you move out of English, it's just not convenient anymore.
