> Rather than trust busting, why not start with relaxing the federal laws which forbid the development of third-party applications?

Cute phrasing, but what this really means is "why not force anyone who develops a product to allow others to capitalize on it?"

> It seems premature to pursue trust busting action while we still have federal laws that encourage and cement the dominance of a single provider.

You mean "allow a product to exist as a unified product". "Provider" is 100% misleading language.
Thank you. Your comment is exemplary, just super-helpful.
None, unfortunately. You have X11, but nobody uses that anymore.

My HCI lecturer at uni used to call that our "monkey reflex". We have some really primitive reflexes around detecting movement in our peripheral vision that happen waaay before our conscious brain gets involved. I think some of them happen within the first few layers of visual processing.

You basically can't ever fully ignore movement, especially if it is irregular (so not a short loop), a part of your brain is always shouting about it, although your brain will tune out highly regular motion like a swinging pendulum.
I agree about its availability.

I think it's far more useful than you seem to, though. Reducing the problem space is huge. It's why macro programming (ala Lisp) is so dangerous. It's why I left Haskell for Python, and why I often wish I was using Idris[1], which pretty much reads your mind and writes what you meant. It's true of coding generally, but SQL programming especially, that there's a conceptually obvious, small space of reasonable programs, but because we're writing in text, we're free to roam over an enormous superspace of (occasionally) wrong or (usually) meaningless programs.

Two cars of the same mass hitting each other head on at 25mph is the same as one car hitting a solid (immovable) wall at 25mph.

Regardless, a bicycle moving at 25mph being hit head on by a car moving 25mph is going to be (at best) comparable to this thing getting hit at 25mph.

Evaluating Threat-Modeling Methods for Cyber-Physical Systems
Definitely. I'm comfortable with this conflict. I don't believe in an afterlife so I know the artists don't actually care, it's more of a respecting the memory thing. I'm happy to finally be able to access these unearthed works, but part of me always silently apologizes first.
Part of the complication is that it would be easy to argue that breaking up these companies built on large network effects will harm consumers (users mainly, but a case can be made for advertisers) because the consumers benefits from the size and robustness of that network.

Half the network is worth less than half of the original network.

No it's not. The problem is you're grossly misinformed about languages in general (a more suitable language? wtf?). There's nothing wrong with NPM and distributing packages used by the majority of the ecosystem. And for all of NPM's problems, it works literally better than every other garbage package manager. But I suspect your criticism is more because you read some comments about NPM, not that you know what you're talking about.
There is little that can be gleaned from voting, especially early on. It's just plain noisy and you don't know what someone is objecting to.

> Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.

Nautilus in Gnome used to have that 8 years ago (https://launchpad.net/nautilus-terminal) so Plasma didn't invent anything here.

But unfortunaly they discontinued it, which is a shame because indeed it's a nice feature.

However there is a limit to this conccept:

- no quake mode

- no horizontal split

- no way to manipulate the terminal shape and sessions from another terminal

- keyboard shortcuts and config options are file explorer first, terminal second

- no way to hide the explorer part. I don't want the files to always be here.

- no shell integration. I want some status such as the git repot state or the virtualenv name to appear in the bar, and the shell to remove it automatically from the prompt if I'm in GUI mode.

All in all, I'd prefer a specialized terminal, that have some file explorer features, and a real file explorer on the side, without the terminal features.

But yes, it is a good start.

Back when I did work on hydraulic modeling, HEC-RAS was the gold standard for open channel flow. It is only available as a pre-compiled Windows executable.

I had a ton of parameterized simulations to run and would have loved to have gotten my hands on the source code in order to run it on EC2 Linux spot instances and to mechanize the parameter inputs by cutting the GUI input forms out.
>>I care about them having it to start with.

Having what? Data regarding what features of their product customers are utilizing and what features are not being used? If you were a software developer would you not want to have that kind of data? Nothing nefarious about this.
We've gone from social media being a relatively unmonetized public good to a heavily monetized semi-private good. I hope we can find some middle ground eventually - though the "problem" with unmonetized services is they go away because nobody can afford to run them (Wikipedia being a good example of one that is treating the line as a non-profit).

Isn't fixing that the promise of distributed apps?

It's not clear from the article, but my guess is (as others noted) they'd have some level of confidence from testing against the other inhabitants of the island.

They could engineer the baits to look, smell, and taste especially unpalatable to the birds and iguanas there, or ship the baits in wrappings that rats could & would be able to penetrate, say a thick cellulose or cardboard wrap containing a single serve.

Typically the problem with baiting in this way is what happens when those animals die, and other animals eat the carcass. This isn't discussed either, but it sounds like a) local wildlife aren't big on scavenging dead animals, and b) the wildlife losses from this would be significantly smaller than from the rat infestation.
> Back in 2017, we had the deadliest mass shooting in American history - over 50 deaths and over 400 gunshot wounds (!!!!) [0] - and precisely nothing has happened. The suicide and assault rates, including school shootings and other mass shootings, has only increased over time, with more deaths every year.

You're right, we should have immediately banned all firearms nationally to prevent something like this from happening again, trampling all over the 2nd amendment. (nevermind how the hell you'd implement it without a thousand Ruby Ridges and Wacos, or why you expect to find more than a third of the guns in the first place [0]) It's not like he could have crashed a plane loaded with AMFO into the crowd instead, right? Or maybe we should just expand California's gun laws nationally, since that's worked out so well to stop the mass shootings there.

You say "OMG how haven't we fixed this, it must mean we don't care" while proposing no solutions, for a problem that might not have a solution. Britain still has terrorist attacks (vans, acid, knives) and that's after banning carrying a fucking butter knife. Humans will always find ways to kill each other, (checkout improvised prison weapons sometime) let's not go too crazy hunting down one of the smallest sources.

So, maybe our response to shootings shouldn't be compared to our response to crumbling infrastructure. At least with the infrastructure, there's a path forward that almost everyone would agree would work. That's not the case with guns.

How could this question really be answered? You'd have to trust those whose unworthiness to that trust forms the question's very premise. Police and prosecutors couldn't be all that effective, since their ultimate argument seen here amounts to little more than an extortion threat: If we aren't all-powerful, someone might get raped! Those who wish to avoid crimes equip themselves to stop criminals, rather than afflicting the rest of us with counterproductive attempts to further empower those in authority.

Crime is a quality of society. All human societies will see some level of crime, but there is a great deal of variation. A sick society in which the police are powerful will simply see more crimes committed by police. A healthy society will see fewer crimes, no matter how many police quit for more productive occupations.

I guess the best option is GTK+ because of the number of users?

There are themes that mimic GTK apps on Qt and vice versa and they look like crap.

But in my opinion Qt apps also look like crap on Windows and Mac. They look somewhat like a native app, but everything is off.

For example, if you have a Qt app on Windows and you click a menu separator, the menu closes, 
like it would do on Mac
. On Windows, clicking a menu separator should do nothing, the menu should remain open. There are dozens of little annoyances like that. Not to mention padding/spacing of elements, etc.

Of course, Qt is very useful. I've worked with it (using QWidgets) and I've liked it a lot, despite of its drawbacks. But it's certainly not native. It merely emulates the target interface.
Having recently switched from Chrome to FF this is the one feature I miss. I really wish they would implement something as easy to use as the Chrome one. The current system in FF is clunky as hell.

Yep. I ask something similar and explicitly tell the candidate I'm NOT necessarily after "tell me a time you delivered strong business impact", "tell me a time you added a new skill to your resume", or the other stereotypical things that make a good "interview story".
But also, and maybe more importantly, interoperation does not really necessarily require any sharing of data.

DRM actually has a potential for societal good. We should make companies like Facebook subject to DRM around our data. DRM is subject to the same asymmetry as privacy. Privacy for individuals is a societal good, in contrast to governments and big public companies, which should be as transparent as possible. Likewise, DRM used by big companies and organizations against individuals is bad for individuals and societies. However, DRM used on behalf of individuals to protect them from big companies would be a societal good.

"Occupy Wallstreet", which was largely composed of naive college students, pushed the phrase "1%". It's catchy.

" They are incentivized to succeed, and so they do."

Well, they have succeeded so far due to a huge amount of capital and talented people working very hard. I think more importantly is, if a system fails, that it shrinks in power and eventually disappears instead of getting bigger and stronger. A well working free market seems the best way humans have devised to do that so far.

> Slack, one of the most valuable companies in recent years, is a reskinned IRC that eats more RAM.

in a certain sense you're not wrong, but this is almost infamous-Dropbox-comment level of missing the point. IRC is a great technology and is pretty useful if you only need to communicate with other tech nerds. it's not a very inviting technology to lay users and businesses though. on the client end, the default config exposes your IP address (at least, this was the case when I last used mIRC). on the server side, you need at least one person who actually understands how IRC works to configure it and keep your communications secure. for a fee, slack takes care of all this for you. it's also a lot easier to share stuff that isn't text over slack.

This devolves really quickly into debates on semantics. Which is not a bad thing, but it means it's important to be clear on definitions.

I've heard Artificial Intelligence snarkily defined as "whatever computers can't do" - once a human understands the problem well enough to make a computer solve it, solving the problem is no longer "AI".

What this says about human intelligence, if-and-when a computer can perform the full set of tasks a human can perform, is left as an exercise to the reader.

In any case, right now, a computer can provide answers to certain problems much more quickly and accurately than a human, and can provide more optimal answers. Whether a particular computer does this via hand-tuned heuristics, brute force applied to simple algorithms, or statistics over massive data sets, or some magic "AI" voodoo, it does it.

For anybody who is possibly interested, I suggest trying to read "Hapworth 16, 1924" (the last story he published). To me, after trying (I've found the whole story)... it's just... not worth the time.

https://themillions.com/2015/06/hapworth-revisited-on-j-d-sa...

"One of the most critically derided passages of the story takes up around a quarter its length and consists entirely of Seymour’s absurd and entirely age inappropriate list of requested reading material: “the complete works again of Count Leo Tolstoy […] any thoughtful books on human whirling or spinning […and] both the French edition and Mr. Cotton’s wonderful translation of Montaigne’s essays.”"

The authors of the utilities seem to make a pretty good case on how GNU’s ‘true’ and ‘false’ are POSIX compliant, because their extensions to them are covered where POSIX leaves the behavior as undefined, and in fact it seems to be the invocation of ‘true’ with any arguments itself that is not in accordance to POSIX.

Whether it’s “not common sense” is not very apparent when “common sense” is pretty difficult to define here (as often the case).

After Fed Government Shutdown, Time to Rethink IT Security
I've read the other comments, but I'm still not enlightened as to the request for another copy of the resume.

It's an interview - who on earth is going to fail this particular item? Do you mean during the interview? Or after, like the 'interesting article'?
Virtualisation is changing Windows application security
I checked around, and a 2 kW dump resistor is about 3" diameter by 20" length. You'd need, say, 16 of those at a packing fraction about 0.5 for sufficent air flow, so you're looking at a cuboid which is 20" long and 4*3"/sqrt(0.5/0.9) = 16" to a side, or 2560 cu.in. Then you add the fans and the intake and outlet ducting etc. you can probably figure 3500 cu.in. total volume.

For comparison, the Model 3 "frunk" seems to be 28" x 15" x 9" = 3780 cu.in. So you'd have to sacrifice the entire frunk for your resistor pack.
A carefully drafted law against circulating that sort of material without a label might be alright. But I very much don't want to see this law, with low specificity and felony penalties, used to criminalize dubious editing. After all, we already have libel laws, so this is largely going to be used where those fail to apply.

If you cut a real interview answer to align with a different question than was asked, is that altered to a false appearance? What if it's done in good faith, to streamline out an interviewer's request for clarification?

If you share real, unedited footage of someone, but end it before they give a caveat to their comment, is that an authentic record of their speech? How about if you cut off a more serious inversion, like "what my opponents want you to think I'd say..." What about footage of a fight that starts too late and misrepresents the aggressor?

Weirdest of all, if you edit an interview favorably, is that a felony? Since this isn't a libel law but a public-interest law, could cutting out a stupid answer or trimming filler words form an inauthentic record of someone's speech?

(Actually, even worse: a slightly broad reading of 1B and 2A suggests that it's even possible to commit this crime without intent. The fake need not be purposefully misleading, and intent to facilitate criminal conduct doesn't necessarily require knowledge that the conduct facilitated would be criminal.)

This law does a pretty good job of saying that it's illegal to computer generate a video of a politician taking a bribe. But even if deceptive editing ought to be illegal, I think accomplishing that with this definition and these penalties would be disastrously unclear.
