I don't want a dream. I want a reality. I don't want one day; I want a lifetime. The point of a wedding is to get married, not to have a wedding.

The building we got married in has been torn down. I lost my original wedding ring. The cake is long gone. My wife's dress sits in a cedar chest and has never been worn again. The developer lost our honeymoon pictures. Our marriage is still here.

I think maybe the focus on the day can be a distraction from the lifetime. The day isn't what's going to make your marriage work.

It doesn't help to solve the problem at all.

At best, sometimes, it encourages you to spend a lot of time trying to find a solution that may work, or wreck your system (Exact result depends on distro).
A 25% speed boost is what I would call a significant percentage. Especially at 60 characters. My statement holds up.
I picked December, but only so the date could be 11/12/13.

Of course our wedding was in the morning, and later that day there was a story published in several newspapers about a couple that had managed to get married on 11/12/13 at 14:15.

I'm still amazed that didn't occur to me!

German labour reforms: Unpopular success
As others have noted this is a hilariously bad post, because in practice Windows (which is so enthusiastically praised here) is incredibly inconsistent in font rendering program by program, and on most non-hidpi screens looks like trash. Especially when using scaled displays (such as 1.25 or 1.5x scaling on a 4k screen), where half of software turns into a blurry, unreadable mess.
I presume the author downvoted me, which is fine. But that entire paragraph shows a misunderstanding of the Mac world — it’s just not accurate.
You British also have a history of pulling together when times get tough. Maybe it's because of our lack of density, or maybe it's just the people who up and moved here, but

IBM wanted to put CP/M on their computer, and mistakenly thought Microsoft owned CP/M because they produced a CP/M add-on card for the Apple II. Initially Bill actually referred them to Digital research, who actually did own CP/M, because at the time Microsoft didn't have an operating system to offer. It was only after the deal between IBM and DR fell through that Microsoft got a second shot at it.
Dealing with physical "toxicity" is an order of magnitude more relevant than ensuring that online spaced are composed of doubleplusgood thoughts. With the definition of doubleplusgood being ever more amphorous and ever more transparent as a social climbing strategy...

I've been homeless enough that reading about "toxicity" is like reading about a toddler saying lime applesauce is too sour. There are physical realms where such concern would be far better directed. Where you could secure future safety and security for your child with far more impact!*

Your child is probably swalliwing little bits of plastic on a daily basis, is probably being fed diabetic inducing diets, is subject to a regime of hyper stimuli, etc... Toxicity is omnipresent but not because of the Russians.

To understand the actual details of how Russia carried out its campaign, I highly recommend listening to this Sam Harris podcast where he interviews Renée DiResta and she's familiar with the facts:

Some of the work of the Russian trolls were quite successful - they encouraged tribalism and sowed division within the US.

My local DMV is also surprisingly great: most things can be done online, and if you do have to go in, there are online appointments as well as quick walk-in service. I actually have longer waits at Chipotle than at the DMV.
This isn't clear at all how it reaches the conclusion...it seems to jump to its conclusion with no justification other than "anything else is absurd because I said so".

Of course the conclusion is absurd, because the premise: someone executing assembly instructions and writing results on a ledger could do so at a scale capable of simulating consciousness over any significant time scale. The time required for a person to do such simulation of just 1 second of conscious existence would likely take more than their lifetime.

Consciousness is universally present. That doesn't mean rocks are conscious, no more than it means sand can compute. And yet we're communicating over computing sand, aren't we?

I think limiting factor might be not number of cores and outside of erl scope, that is eth card they used, network infrastructure, etc. Even Elixir could be something that impacts the tests.

This is an excellent link, but hardly a proof. First, it does not preclude a computer from somehow obtaining a soul. Second, the reason to reject its conclusion (that computers have no souls) is, literally:

> However, this conclusion should be rejected as being absurd on its face.

Which is not saying much. I still recommend to read the whole thing, but the general outcome is based on not much apart from a personal notion of absurdity.

At some point, an incredibly obstinate subset of the American population will need to realize that Hillary failed for very mundane reasons. At the end of the day, people did/do not like her. Blaming Russia is about the most complex answer you can come with as to why she lost, which should be the first clue that some critical thinking is in order.

A new generation of young managers is reshaping how we work
That's a condescending non-answer.

We're not talking about passwords in a database, we're talking about reproducible builds. I already trust Debian, so it's irrelevant to me, as a user, if their builds are 100% reproducible. Can you explain why I should feel differently?

Although I don't think it's a valuable thing to spend time on, it's not my time, so I honestly don't care too much.
I actually presented on something close to this a couple of months ago to the local LUG. I made a raspberry pi tor jump server that would allow you to ssh over tor into your home network to bust through the NAT. My slide deck is https://content.evernote.com/shard/s84/sh/00920ea8-78a7-4b1a...
> One of the issue is still that you have to distribute the tor domain name out all over the place.

I don't understand why you couldn't have a small utility to take a human memorable password that maps to a weak-ass private key, then ratchet up to a secure keypair on the server once the initial connection is made:

1. Run utility in "server" mode.

2. Enter password "I am not the target of a state level actor atm" into utility

3. Utility maps your weak-ass password to a weak-ass private key, generates the pubkey from that, and consequently creates the Tor hidden service behind which your openssh server can now be accessed.

4. On the client, run the utility in "client" mode and type in your weak-ass password

5. Utility maps the password to the server's weakass kepair and generates the corresponding onion address from it.

6. Utility creates a tunnel over Tor to connect to that onion address.

7. Server and client are now connected, with no memorization of human unreadable strings. Hurray!

8. Once connected, the server generates a secure keypair and sends the corresponding new onion addy to the client over the current connection.

9. Client receives the new onion addy, disconnects, then connects to the new addy.

10. Repeat for each client. Once all clients are connected, server destroys the original hidden service.
Ok, so how is this co-operation organised? Who sets the objectives, makes the decisions and how is success incentivised?
What about it? What you find "toxic", others might not find "toxic". That's my point. And if there is "toxicity" in usenet, don't use it. Or use the newsgroups that you find less "toxic".

But you are missing my point. My point isn't about "toxicity", it's about censorship. "Toxicity" is just an excuse to censor and control.

Usenet had been around for decades and has always been "toxic". So what? Did the world end?

I never said Russia was the only one or the most effective. I wasn't trying to get into a WhatAboutThem debate, just that saying Russia did nothing effective was wrong.

But seeing the sources above I might have been wrong about that. Still they certainly tried to be effective.
So long as Reddit has very specific rules regarding what is forbidden, i.e. posting personally identifiable information, then I think the subreddit system is already as close to a perfect solution as I'd want. Subreddits are opt-in and opt-out, and are moderated with VASTLY different tolerances and tastes. I tend to prefer highly controversial conversations, at the expense of pleasantness, and there are subreddits that cater to this just fine. There are others whose sensibilities do not tolerate that, and there subreddits for that too.

What I cannot stand is people demanding that subreddits be removed. I filtered out posts from t/The_Donald immediately, and yet I still see people that cannot believe that subreddit still exists. The_Donald is just a highly moderated right wing echo chamber, not unlike r/LateStageCapitalism or equivalent left wing subs. I hate, and am banned, from most of them...but I'm happy they exist for those who subscribe.
It's on section "Pooling", on page 7 of the pdf (400 in the original), second column, last
parargraph starting with "We reanalyze Table 1, ...".

In that paragraph, the authors state that they estimate the probability of
admission of a female applicant "by multiplying the estimated probability of
admission of any applicant (regardless of sex) to that department by the number
of women applying to it", which I find reasonable.

However, immediately afterwards they compare that probability with the
probability of an applicant being admitted given that the applicant is female.
I quote from the end of the second column and the start of the third one:

"Thus, if the chances of getting into a department were one-half for all
applicants to it, and 100 women applied, we would expect 50 women to be admitted
if they were being treated just like the men".

In other words, bias depends on whether the proportion of applicants of one
sex, out of all applicants of _that_ sex, was higher than the expectation
formed for applicants of any sex. It's a little confusing and the language in the article is not very precise. But that's what's up.
Comic’s fight with Barstool Sports shows flaws in Twitter’s copyright system
> That was shocking to know that users are charged for receiving SMS in US!

In the US both senders and receivers are charged, generally. Each party pays their provider for the service of carrying messages from and to them across that provider's network.

Note that this makes each party responsible for the part of the complete message transport that they have some control over, and only that part.

So, for example, if you send me a message today, and another message tomorrow, you will pay the same amount both times even if today I'm at home and tomorrow I'm traveling to some remote area where message fees are much higher. I'm the one who pays the higher costs that are incurred due to my travel.

How would this be handled in a place where the sender pays for the whole thing? How do you find out how much it will cost you to send me a message?
This is not how they did their calculations. It's described here [1].

They were not comparing individuals against some set average and making sure each employee was then brought up to that average and then saying e.g. x% of men and y% of women were bumped up. What they did was compare groups against one another and ensure that there was cross-group consistency. E.g. - the regression formula to determine a man's compensation based on various inputs (such as e.g. performance ratings) should yield a mostly identical result for a women of the same inputs.

And then they contrasted groups against various groups. They found that if you were a women, you were paid disproportionately more than other employees. This is why in their announcement they speak of groups instead of individuals, "[T]he 2018 analysis flagged one particularly large job code (Level 4 Software Engineer) for adjustments. Within this job code, men were flagged for adjustments because they received less discretionary funds than women."

Remember the goal is not to have every individual be identical, but to ensure that there is no specific group bias. Any given man/woman/etc may be paid more than another employee for reasons that cannot be easily quantified, but when the entire group of all e.g. men or all women are disproportionately paid more than other groups of the same quantifiables then you either have inadequate quantifiables (e.g. - you are missing why certain people are paid more), or there is simply no good reason and you have a bias. In this case, they decided it was a bias.

There is always somebody to pop in to say "x works in my case". Like those "oh my zsh" users that never ever had their prompt broken or those vi lovers that "just sync their config file on github and that's it".
It amazes me that you dismiss someone with 20 years more experience than you as somehow knowing less.

Python isn't new to me: it's old, and it's crap, and its "evolution" is towards a dead end. Stuff like nodejs will eventually supplant it if it hasn't already, and with good reason (not that I am a huge fan). Python was a novel design and a great choice ... back in the 90s. I mean, use it if you like it; use Forth or Lua or whatever you like. I think it's terrible and should be abandoned wherever possible.

Knowing the timestamp of when it was built, or the source was downloaded tells me roughly how old the package is, which can be useful for a variety of reasons.

Good link, and some of those are a step up, but many (not all) are pretty typical for bootstrap layouts and I don't think it's a big enough step to call it "Web 3.0". The jump to "Web 2.0" was as much about web applications (functionality) as it was about visual design (aesthetics). WebAssembly will probably be the true Web 3.0 once it is as easy to build as Web 2.0 applications.
Point taken and I am already looking at stressgrid, "millions of users" is definitely a selling point to me. It is actually quite hard to generate enough and correct traffic to stress test large distributed systems.

I have suffered from all those issues on non-Linux OSes as well (Linux has never been my primary OS. I’ve split between Windows and OSX). While I’m sure the fix in Linux may be a little involved, the fix on the Mac/Windows side can sometimes mean waiting months for an update.

So it’s not all that bad and all OSes have their warts.
As seen even in Windows itself, including but not limited to various places in the Control Panel. The situation is even worse if you are a laptop user that sometimes connects to external displays with a different pixel densities. Things will often either get upscaled or downscaled depending upon the display used at the point that the application was opened, sometimes requiring the application to be closed and re-opened to render at the correct resolution or - worse still - requiring you to log out of Windows and back in again! Trying to use high-DPI displays on Windows is an unmitigated nightmare.
Consider throwing your extra time into a side project. You'll come out ahead regardless. You'll get a nice chunk of passive income, you'll replace your day gig income and have a lot more flexibility, or you could turn it into a demo to show during interviews.
Does it assume equal distribution of cobalt supply?

What I mean is, if demand goes up, but the cobalt suppliers are all on long-term contracts with manufacturers, could the manufacturers then drive up price since they control the essential inputs?
fileservers don't send packets?

"... a test where a 3G Docker image with 2 layers is downloaded by 2600 hosts concurrently (5200 blob downloads)"

they show this finishing in 20s, so that's 7,800 GB transferred in 20 seconds. That works out to 390 GB/sec. A 10Gbps interface can transfer about 1GB/sec, so you'd need 195 dual attached fileservers, or about 100 if they were running at 40gbps.
Deepfake propaganda is not a real problem
I think it depends on one's requirements.

If you want a system that can be customized heavily (for example you don't like using the mouse and want to use keyboard for everything), Linux is a godsent.

If you want perennial consistency in your work env, it's very helpful too. For example, I've been running the same setup for 12 years, bringing it over from the old laptop every time I got a new one.

In exchange for that convenience, I have to wrestle with wifi/ethernet settings once every few years (when I change my hardware); for me it's a small price to pay.
This is apparently a larger company. While the software may help, I suspect that it still relies heavily on the expertise of the agent. Japanese do enjoy the exactness that comes from computer software and this may also help with inventory management and making sure the correct number of boxes are always available in the warehouse. Again these are logistics issues larger companies would run into that smaller companies wouldn't necessarily run into.

But is it "reproducible" or reproducible? Holger still considers the debian numbers "reproducible" as we are only building things twice. To achieve proper reproducible builds the artifacts needs to be reproducible by users. User facing tools needs to be provided and I have yet to see how NetBSD provides this.

I have only good experiences with it but I think it could be unmanageable if there is no automated integration testing (with reverts.) That is, everyone's submits are subject to a build (if the build fails, your submit is automatically reverted) and a battery of tests (if a test fails, your submit is automatically reverted). So you have to be able to submit code changes and test changes as one whole change list.
