One of the things I liked about Gentoo was the idea of building everything yourself. They even had a license manager that would allow you to decide if you wanted to use packages based on their license (and would warn you when the license changed). I always wondered why that never caught on.

But binary distributions are just convenient. Even MCC was a binary distribution and that's going a long way back. I remember rebuilding everything by hand because I wanted a lean system that included exactly what I wanted and nothing more, but that was considered pretty extreme even at that time.

One of the problems with having the flexibility of a pure source based system (including being about to recompile with exactly the flags and hence features you want) is making a decent dependency graph. If you install package X and it wants capability A, it's practically impossible to guarantee that it will "all just work" because the user can easily screw it up. In many ways, this was one of the problems with Gentoo (apart from it being unreasonable these days to keep a complete system up to date while recompiling every single package -- it just takes too much time).

Of course Gentoo (and derivatives) have binary packages these days as well. I've moved over to Arch which has very minimal configuration for packages and so you have to take responsibility for making everything work. You can easily build things and the build scripts make it very easy to see what patches, etc you are using. However, its a lot more work than most people want.

I think the reality of the situation is that most people do no debug their systems. They just use it. If it is "broken" then they complain that it is "broken" and wait for someone to fix it. Actually maintaining your system is akin to working on hotrods in your garage. It's mostly a hobby, even for professionals.
This is way too real. Attempting to milk the high functioning part of your brain just to run away and hide forever and hopefully coast on the achieved results post-burnout is a cycle I didn't realise I was even doing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyspermy has some short but interesting discussion of the theoretical background.

A polyploid zygote is completely nonviable, a pure waste of the egg, sperm, and other mating effort that went into it. It's in the interest of the mother and the father for the egg to be fertilized by exactly one sperm.

But it's in the interest of an individual sperm to be the one that fertilizes the egg instead of dying uselessly. So they get faster, more efficient, and more penetrant over time. When they're too effective, multiple sperm may get into an egg before the defenses are up. (Which, again, just kills the sperm that "won" the race, so you don't expect to see incredibly rapid progress in this area.)

Oceangoing eggs respond by having a fertilized egg's defenses go up really quickly, because the egg is floating around in the ocean and it's hard for the mother to influence that environment.

Female mammals have responded with slower defenses, but internal characteristics that tend to retard or hurt sperm as they make their way towards the egg, meaning that it's rare for multiple sperm to all get there at once. This is good for avoiding polyploidy, but bad for fertility -- it is not necessarily the case that even one sperm will make it.

It's interesting to see competition among sperm hurting the reproductive chances of the male and female producing and accepting it.
Why can't you run a shell script?
"expect" was mentioned, but what are you actually trying to do that cannot be solved with a shell script, either executed the normal way or sourced in at the start of a new shell?
For the same reason we don’t utilize fission in other areas, people are ignorant and terrified of it, politicians are trying to be re-elected, and as a result real problems such as distributed rather than centralized storage of waste emerge. There are also real issues with processing vast quantities of seawater in a way that doesn’t destroy littoral ecosystems. Then there’s disposal whatever heavy metals and pollutants are concentrated as a byproduct of the process, regardless of your power source.

Still, it’s feasible to overcome the last two issues, but I’m pretty sure that ignorance is going to kill us.

IDA Pro is not expensive at all for serious professionals in the field. Other common software in the industry costs way more. Nessus is $2k a year, Metasploit like $1500 to $15000, and Core Impact is $30k and up.

If this is expensive to you, then it’s not for you. This is for people who are making real money with these tools, not hobbyists dicking around.

> Isreal exists, relies heavily on desalination plants, and is an agricultural exporter so we know the situation is solvable

Israel also has a lot of reclamation systems. Most of their sewage gets filtered and the fresh water reused. In most of North America, we give minimal safe treatment to sewage and then dump it back into our water sources.

That is a very expensive process, but cheaper than desalination usually. We just need to get over the ick factor.
Due to the revenue structure that exists in the journalism industry, the pull method is becoming less often used or only used in cases where the directors feel they have a solid footing.

I would argue that this is a society issue since people are less inclined to want to and pay for material that has more insight. Society wants quick, flashy snippets of what is happening or what someone think is happening. This creates bad incentives that have led to quite a bit of damage to society so far.
Ha! I stand corrected!

In the U.S. at least it's pretty rare to see shops of any kind inside of subway stations or libraries. There's a few news stands in some NYC subway stations, but not many. I've been throughout much of Europe and don't recall seeing many stores in most of the subway systems -- but maybe I wasn't paying attention.

But there will be some kind of place to get a bite in many train and even bus stations.
I don't disagree. We should have a lot more streetcars and (everyone has their own priorities). Reducing traffic from the suburbs would be massive.

There's also a huge amount of inequality in Boston proper due to the removal of the elevated Orange Line (which is inadequately serviced by the Silver Line and other busses). The most used bus routes (which mostly serve Roxbury and Dorchester) should be converted.

Agree on the NH front too. I don't envy the people who commute from NH to Boston every day, but they should absolutely be tolled.

I think more radical traffic easing will need to happen eventually. Do we really need hundreds of thousands of people commuting in to sit in some cubicle downtown from 9-5? Shit no. I'm not sure what needs to happen there... reducing property taxes on business that shift their working hours or let their employees work from home X amount of days per week? I hate reducing corporate costs, but what else would convince them?
This "parallel execution" is one of the interesting things that distinguishes Unix pipelines from DOS pipelines; in DOS a temporary file is used, which was an old source of puzzlement for beginners doing a "dir | more" --- "what's that extra file I see?"

In retrospect, getting non-preemptive pipes (a type of coroutining) working in DOS would not have been all that difficult, if it weren't for the limited memory available to PCs of the time and the fact that most programs assumed they owned it all when they ran.

There are some subtle points that the blog is not clear about:

- The use of `1>&2` is to overwrite the stdout of the LHS process so that `echo green` actually never writes to the pipe, so it never gets SIGPIPE.

- `echo` only echoes arguments and always ignores stdin, so putting `echo blue` on the RHS of the pipe only serves to run the two sides of the pipe in parallel

- `bash -c '(echo green 1>&2) | echo blue' 1>stdout 2>stderr` will show you that green and blue actually write to different files

Another observation:

> if it was a separate command (or even if the shell forked to execute it internally), only the 'echo red' process would die from the SIGPIPE instead of the entire left side of the pipeline.

Most linux distributions have /bin/echo as a separate program. Running `(/bin/echo red; echo green 1>&2) | echo blue` will always print both green and blue.

EDIT: fix typo of stdin/stdout/stderr as suggested

I'm curious what feature specifically prompted the NSA to develop their own IDA Pro alternative. I mean, someone somewhere at the NSA must have been trying to do something with IDA Pro only to repeatedly fail before the decision was made that whatever the NSA was trying to do warranted developing their own IDA Pro... right? Or perhaps they used IDA Pro so often and grew so frustrated by it that they started their own?

> We constantly hear the Russian economy is in shambles, but at the same time the whole planet seems flush with shady Russian cash.

There are 144.5 million Russians. Even if individually they are poor the country can be very rich.

Also is the matter of illegal arms sales and break of international embargos. You can sell your gas or weapons to countries that you have signed treaties not to. That is a lot of money that is not part of your legal economy but can surface anywhere in the world.

High wealth inequality also makes this a more acute problem. A few people have a lot of money to spend in lobbying and luxury while most of the population lives in relative poverty.

I’ve used for a few months before jumping to AM. The reason I moved was due to lack of indian songs library on Spotify.

It feels that a majority of the issues you have listed is mainly due to resources.

> Not enough resource to reach out to a wide number of sources, especially when you know some stories will not pan out.

> If something goes against a journalist's assumption, it can make their story null. This can jeopardize their career and cost a lot of resources to the company

> In order to sell, journalists may emphasize the areas that makes the story look juicy, besides, not all sources are reliable.

> The industry requires businesses to keep throwing watered-paper at the wall to see if it sticks. It is the incentive it has to remain afloat. Besides, what is useful to person X may not be useful to person Y (think of horoscope for example).

> Some journalists will find it more profitable to sell to the mass media or work a 'cosier' job in mass media instead of grassroot networks. Similar to someone going to work for a FAANG instead of a startup.
Is it possible that maybe this pre-dates IDA Pro?

Ever tried to use IDA Pro on the same project with a co-worker...at the same time?
Regular people have problems too. Maybe we could try to be more understanding towards all people so people don't feel the need to give their issues a special name so people will treat them kindly. Rather than trying to catch people in a lie, maybe just be nice to them either way.
> If this is expensive to you, then it’s not for you. This is for people who are making real money with these tools, not hobbyists dicking around.

That's an odd perspective. Imagine if this type of sentiment were applied to paint brushes. There is a lot of useful work that is not economically viable per se, and to discount that and to be pejorative feels wrong.
I love my HP-01. It is very fun to wear and use. Sometimes it gets comments. Unfortunately I cannot read it without my reading (or progressive) glasses anymore! For that, a Seiko Astron or Citizen works; angles are easier to read without glasses.

Bipolar I here. As an episodic disease, bipolar is extremely susceptible to this passing/masking phenomenon. I have been "stable" for so many years that even close co-workers can't detect anything, and I hardly even notice how much effort I put into "passing". But the effort does tax you and build up over time. This post really hits home for me, and I identify strongly with this kind of play-acting and exhaustion (without claiming to understand, or taking anything away from, the autism spectrum experience).

Moreover, I consistently underestimate the amount of detox and rest that I need to recover from this constant performing. To borrow a line from Rogers & Hammerstein, "whenever I fool the people I act neurotypical for, I fool myself as well". I forget I need to take care of myself.

Thank you Ryan for aggregating & posting!

I believe roughly he's saying that we are a universe experiencing itself that is intrinsically a single quantum state.

It has never made sense to me to separate the observer and the experiment, it's weird to suggest the observer is somehow more classical than the experiment, both are just evolving together in time as a quantum system. The idea of "collapse" makes no sense, there is no observer separate from the experiment, and instead the question of why we experience what we call "collapse" the way we do comes up. Practically, it makes more sense to me.

How can our experience of consciousness be real? What does it mean to be conscious? Can we numerically measure free will? Are those answerable questions under this framework?
