TagSpaces. Some native color tagging for clean up and directory mindfulness. I use TagSpaces to mainly create a data retention schedule for tax and finance data, then per the schedule, actually delete the old crap.
Previous title had "...with Linux 5.0 compatibility". The significance of this is that 5.0 changed some interfaces used by ZFS to require GPL license, which ZoL can't call, which generated some discussion https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20190115134221.GB30742@kroah.co...
What Programming Languages Engineers and Employers Love and Hate
That we are aware of, Apple always looks at a long horizon. If there is an efficiency in building any kind of silicon itself, Apple will look at it.
Mostly:

~Documents/$project_name/

~code/$project_name/$repo
I've learned not to rename the default ~/{Pictures,Downloads,Desktop,Documents,Videos,Music} as they conveniently have the same name regardless of the OS and there are many applications and default actions bound to them. Desktop blank. For everything else unix style filesystem convention - directories at the ~/, all lowercase, name 3-5 characters long.

> It means "support whatever was included in the distribution for a long time".

The TLS protocol was included in the distribution. (You seem to be using a self-recursive definition of “support”.)
I'm reminded that it's possible to be quietly weird and brilliant, in the world that moves on in ignorance of the latest JavaScript shit, kubernetes shit, database shit, ... Thanks for sharing!
>Those are RCP8.5, where “RCP” means “Representative concentration pathway”. We’re just below the mean estimate for that, but closer to that than to the RCP6.0.

Which it's important to see the claim or prediction. When there are 4 predictions and only the most extreme option is predicting any real change. It's VERY disingenuous to only include the worst prediction.

>A bigger problem is that you can’t simultaneously say that 8.5 F is a “worst” prediction and say that “10 C is great”.

I disagree. You can absolutely discuss the point being made. It's the worst prediction that we already know is NOT happening. That stands on it's own.

But moreover, even if it's true. It doesn't matter. Global warming is going to be just fine. It's doomsayers who have blown it out of proportion.

>As I’ve said on another thread, I don’t expect us to have long term climate problems,

My prediction by looking at the eocene period is that we will have long term climate changes. Except they will change for the better.

>but you don’t get to just pretend that world experts are wrong just because you don’t like the conclusions they bring to you.

This is an appeal to authority AND appeal to the masses. Double logical fallacy when you assert this. So far, the predictions made over the last 30 years have been wrong. Al Gore's predictions that by 2020 florida will be under water to a significant degree? That hasn't happened yet, I'm sure it's going to happen in the next 9 months...

>After all, plenty of civilisations have ended, and that’s what worries (other) people.

Prove that climate change will destroy the world or destroy our civilization. There has been MANY predictions now that have been outright falsified. The United Nations predicted that we were completely and utterly doomed to extinction if we didnt do as they say by the year 2000. That was wrong. They reissued their hoax and said 2012. That was wrong. IF you also are astutue these climate change doomsday hoaxes also lined up with Y2K and the Mayan Calendar hoaxes.

Sorry but at this point I'm done with these doomsday hoaxes.

The House and Senate vote to reauthorize the war every year.

Have you called your Representative to express your opinions?

Have you voted for politicians who oppose the reauthorization?

There's a system in place to stop this, you're just not using it.
Basic operations, yes. Composabilitu, not quite.

I don’t remember enough APL, so my examples are K:

Maximum subarray sum: |/(0|+)\

Flatten: ,//

Rank: <<

In these examples, every single character is its own operation, and they compose to give another useful operation.

Any Turing complete language can express what any other Turing complete language can (by definition). And pandas/r do provide APL’s vector and matrix operations. But not the composability, which IMHO is just as important to what this family brings to the table.
Love this. Owls are fascinating. It feels very strange how light they are when they perch on you - even though I was expecting it.

Crossing the border illegally is a crime and there has been violence on top of that. I don't see a problem with investigating and tracking those who are aiding and abetting.
The original title mentioned that ZFS now have support for Linux Kernel version 5, which is something that have been discussed before since the kernel maintainers don't like the hooks that zfsonlinux uses, it was discussed on HN but I can't find it, the discussion sprung up because of this message: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20190110182413.GA6932@kroah.com...

It's the same answer used by Mr Holder and Mr Obama to justify dropping hellfire missiles in a dozen countries.
Firstly this is ZoL, not ZFS.

And secondly version numbers are often a meaningless gauge of when something is production ready. In any production environment you'd need to thoroughly test any new technology (or even point releases of existing tech) before deploying to prod because regression bugs and undocumented behaviour is a real thing.

As an aside, I've been running ZFS since shortly after it's release and have ran it across 4 distinct operating systems in that time. It's honestly been one of the best pieces of engineering I've used in that time. To the extent that ZFS has saved me from total data loss (ignoring, for the moment, backups) on at least two separate occasions.
I get a Trojan alert going to the linked page.

> Apple's microarchitecture expertise makes it entirely likely that their fabled next Mac Pro is entirely ARM-based

I would like to understand this statement better. In 2012, I read this article saying ARM chips were matching x86 chips and that we'd be seeing ARM desktops, ARM servers, and ARM laptops within 2-3 years. https://liliputing.com/2012/02/fastest-arm-chips-are-compara...

But it is now, 2019. Aside from my phone, access point, and tablet which are ARM based, everything else is still x86-64. Am I an outlier? What data leads you to believe that "entirely likely that their fabled next Mac Pro is entirely ARM-based"?

> does Apple have enough economy of scale just on the high-end desktop compared to Intel? Doubtful

I don't understand this statement. Is the volume of chips "manufactured" by Apple significantly lower than the volume of chips manufactured by Intel?
Not sure what the connection between the giants and Awande is. One get quick rich scheme follows the other.

The privatization of public spaces is a serious ongoing concern in all Canadian urban centers. In its more insidious manifestations it gives corporations power over homeless individuals' rights, by the removal of places of rest, drinking fountains and the coercive removal of the homeless.
The comments on this thread have broken me. I’m just not going to read comments here any more, and consume the FP via an RSS aggregator.

And yet they did. And it worked great for more than a decade. Until just today when someone found...one.
There was a recent controversy in which the Linux kernel removed some functions which were being used by the ZFS module, but their replacement are "GPL-only" functions which cannot be used by the ZFS module. This release has a workaround for that, so it can be compiled for Linux 5.0.

(IIRC, the original title of this submission had " with Linux 5.0 support" at the end, indicating why this release is newsworthy, but I'm not seeing it anymore.)
I heavily use the keyboard to jump to certain folders in Finder, e.g. "p" jumps to "projects". Not possible with this system unless you remember each and every number.
I think its a very interesting analogy actually, even if OT.

The Bugatti has higher performance but for 90% of people isn't the better car.

How long before Intel paint themselves into a corner by going for performance to justify their prices, when everyone just needs a bog standard ARM?

I'd be more surprised if they weren't. It's probably just a view on the database that tracks everyone.
My first thought was - won't the hydrogen escape?! Hydrogen molecules are tiny and will leak out from just about anything. Then I read that there is a reservoir where the hydrogen is stored, chemically I think. But still, as the tube is operated, won't it be slowly depleted of hydrogen?! Very interesting.

Note that high end phones sell for more than low end PCs, and as long as that is the case there will not be a push to ARMify desktop machines.
Amazon devices aren't premium. In fact, they're more the opposite.

People are less excited to come and play with them because they're (for many people) easily affordable unlike Apple products where a try before you part with a lot of money is a bigger 'thing'.

9 years and 70 releases is referring to ZoL.

I use ZFS.

I am mocking open source developers' terror of calling something a 1.0 release.

At the same time they say release numbers aren't an indication of quality their actions tell us that release numbers matter a lot and that's why they are scared of calling something a 1.0 release.
That’s the policy position of the government, and it’s an insane, not credible position. It’s a position born of ignorance and bigotry.

I know many people who were impacted by 9/11. The people responsible were posing as businessmen with normal visas. It disgusts me that our policy is to chase boogeymen and do harm to people and to the nation in pursuit of cheap applause.

End of the day, the consequence of the stupid policy decisions made by Bush and Obama, and then amplified by the Trump circus will result in claw-back of war powers by Congress.
Net positive experience in my case, in the US. Emphasis on net because there were certainly hard times. It took longer than I'd like to admit and I took a year off to work, and a summer offfor just writing. But I highly value the experience and I had subsidized student loans from undergrad so that was ~10 years of no interest.

And almost every operating system in the world is written in C by top developers who are in the know. If there was a better way, everyone would do it, but they don't.

Let's quit pretending that any software written in any other language would be more secure and have less bugs.
And it was questionable then too.
How? Admittedly my knowledge of CSS is dated, but without scripting enabled you can't set cookies, make auto server request, or even auto set an external CSS file (that could be served and counted)..

Its not something I've considered before and i am genuinely curious how this would work.

Yes there's a lot of research into that in The Netherlands:

Remember there are some Europeans around running 240v ;) Also, at least on the bigger European cities, apartments and flats are more popular than houses, son usually the energy need is lower. And, of course, energy prices!

Here, in Madrid, most of my friends are running 10 to 20 amps. I'm an outlier, running 25amps (5.75 kW) because all my stuff is electric (water heater, cold/hot air conditioning, microwave, glass-ceramic stove...).

My Ryzen 5 desktop is consuming 0.3 to 0.5amps (being 50 to 120watts at 220V), supposing you're using 110volts your desktop computer must be a big gaming rig if it's consuming 350 to 550watts ;)

This is the hundredth nub of a massive problem of the regression and deterioration of society in the usa. Yes, opiates. Yes, for profit health care. But even those things in isolation are only part of the problem.
The difference between 90 seconds to fill up and 3 minutes to fill up is negligible. The appetite for improvement isn't there because the marginal is small.

The difference between 3 minutes and 20 minutes is still enormous. Pretending for a minute that superchargers were as common as petrol stations, that there were never queues and you always started charging immediately. I would still not consider that a reasonable time to spend waiting around so I can finish a journey.

I agree it's a huge improvement, but it doesn't get close to making the gap insignificant
I was about to comment on that particular remark too.

Lately I’ve unfollowed/unfriended everyone I dont feel I have a relationship to.

People of my class 1996 or whatever? Gone. That’s not my social circle anymore. Etc. You get the picture.

But still FB insisted on showing all kinds of uninteresting garbage instead of posts from people I know.

So now I’m no longer checking Facebook. And they did it to themselves.
A quote from the official statement from the Customs and Border Patrol. It was also in the article.

"CBP told our colleagues at NBC News that the names in the database are all people who were present during violence that broke out at the border in November. The agency also said journalists are being tracked so that the agency can learn more about what started that violence."
Well, politicians and American media tend to sell Mexico as a 3rd-world hellhole (which it isn’t) and Canada as a socialist utopia with death panels and high taxes (which it isn’t). So people find another escape while feeling helpless.
I have a ~/dev folders with all my git projects. Then a ~/shared folder with stuff shared with a linux server at work (synchronized using unison). Everything else is on Icloud. I usually have a few files/folders on the desktop waiting for being sorted. I've never had any use for tags.
It's more like ensuring that we don't assume that things come into existence as soon as we personally become aware of them, then that we don't assign them completely to the current person who, since we personally dislike him, caused us to pay attention in the first place.

The US government has been caught spying on and manipulating journalists since the G.W. Bush administration, and Obama was particularly energetic.

I guess it depends on why are you drinking coffee. I can see the ritual side if coffee is like one of the things that you do every day as a routine... But for many of us coffee is more like a tool to help ourselves wake up, do stuff, take a break from work, etc. This way people are more likely to use easy-way because is no ritual it's just one of the daily self-given tasks.
My top level directories are like: Accounts, Clients, Projects, Apps. Then sub-directories etc. I use symlinks e.g. when a client project is reused as an App or vice-versa.

Everything initially gets downloaded into ~/Downloads and then moved as appropriate. Having two Finder windows open makes this very easy. One stays on ~/Downloads and the other changed to suit the destination.

I am a heavy Terminal user, with multiple active windows, so most of my current work-in-progress is a "cd ...".

I replicate the above to a Linux desktop with rsync based scripts. So I basically perform the same activities on both platforms, e.g. LibreOffice, etc. Hardly use any Apple software anymore, notable exception being iTunes for the various iPads and iPods around the house and car.
I am not going to try to contact them any further. I was trying to be a good Samaritan since this company also supports the government and many major American companies.

Certainly, I don't want any legal issue randomly because of a loosely secured company while I try to help them for free. As the other commenter indicated, I wish there was a government department which could take care of this type of things.
Al Qaeda. The database.
Your last two sentences have nothing to do with language choice.
You can make server requests by loading images and fonts. Browsers only load those resources they actually need, so there's lots of opportunities for conditionally triggering requests. Media queries for window size, fallback fonts to check installed fonts, css feature checks to make guesses at the browser type, ...
I don't use the Documents folder and have it `chflags hidden` in the Finder. Desktop is always empty. `data` contains documents, while `db` contains databases and datasets for research. `var` is mostly vm images. The others I think are self explanatory.

`work` and `src` are synced to my linux computer at work via syncthing.

(1) The prevalence of drug overdose deaths and opioid prescriptions has risen unevenly across the county, with rural areas more heavily affected. Specific geographic areas, such as Appalachia, parts of the West and the Midwest, and New England, have seen higher prevalence than other areas.
(2) Poverty, unemployment rates, and the employment-to-population ratio are highly correlated with the prevalence of prescription opioids and with substance use measures. On average, counties with worse economic prospects are more likely to have higher rates of opioid prescriptions, opioid-related hospitalizations, and drug overdose deaths.
(3) Some high-poverty regions of the country were relatively isolated from the opioid epidemic, as shown by our substance use measures, as of 2016.

Still as 3 can attest and as you said, it isn’t simple.
Not sure your age range, but I'm an older millenial (mid-30s) and I couldn't tell you the last time I picked up the phone and called someone to chat without intention (making plans, etc) or sent a non-work email that wasn't related to something financial/house-buy/sale related.

I deleted FB last year but when I did use it it was purely as a messaging platform.

My personal gmail about 10 years ago turned into more of a graveyard for spam and receipts than a communication platform.
"On the other hand, that wastes cache memory and fetch bandwidth..."

This. One of the reasons why modern x86 processors have such strong performance is their external facing CISC interface effectively acts as memory compression while they are RISC on the inside. In many ways its a best of both worlds that was achieved through incremental evolution.
There was an incidence of violence at the border. The people in this database were present at the time.

I don’t know what you mean. Americans are the ones who should decide the government. Not sure I see that as a threat. We have mechanisms to deal with internal threats without having to impose sanctions or go to war.

If you’re talking about PACs and vested interests, we at least, if we wanted it enough, could make changes but enough people are okay with them so there is no pressure to make radical change.
