Hi, just so you know, you are shadowbanned. Most of your comments seem on-topic and make fair points, so I don't know why this is the case. I've vouched for them where possible.
sway comes with xwayland configured, which makes it zero-effort to run X-only software (eg software that doesn't use a wayland-enabled gui library like gtk3, qt5, sdl2...). The only pain will be if you have a hidpi screen, since xwayland will scale a non-hipdi rendered X window instead of passing down the scaling factor to X (which apparently is tricky). I'm in that case and what caused me the most hassle was firefox, but there is an experimental wayland branch (for which fedora provides prebuilt binaries) which i'm running smoothly.
all patients and 'nation' seems a bit overconfident of said doctor (even though i respect their work a lot!)... i guess his world IS the hospital patients but vice versa i think the world or a nation includes (a lot) more than its hospital patients.
this mate psyched himself out all the way to a new career. So much irony in this.
I recall reading somewhere that while the 737Max has two AoA sensors, only one of them is connected to the MCAS.

In most cases it's just a matter of preference. Elastic has some extra tools like kibana an was more focused on having statistics and aggregations working well, while Solr webui is a lot more complete than the elastic one and the full text search and relevance bits are more explained. Internally both use lucene, so you are going to be able to do the same things with both.

I worked extensively with both and I prefer the way of administering Solr. Anyway I use Elastic when it involves logging and statistics thanks to kibana.
That depends. I'm in academia. I'm surrounded by MSc and PhD students. Some of them are truly creative, but they are the minority. Most of them are happy to implement an idea that was assigned to them by a professor they're working with, or make small incremental extensions to existing research. In this line of work, what matters most is getting publications. I would say (this is my personal impression) that many successful academics are not creative types, they conservative and incremental, but most importantly, hard working, detail oriented and determined.

All that being said, I wish academia was more about really thinking out of the box, playing with ideas and trying things that are a little more "out there", but from what I've seen in the last decade, it isn't really the case, at least not in STEM.
I really don't get the benefit of a tiling window manager. I tried one and instantly felt boxed in. There's not enough room on the screen for everything I need to have opened and flip between, which is why I use an overlapping window manager in the first place.
quit + Google
> I am not sure if you have experience working with one of the leading tech companies but most of the problems you mention were solved long time ago, before containers were a thing.

I'm not sure what you're advocating for exactly, but the systems that the "leading tech companies" originally built were largely VM orchestration systems that required humans to pack software packages into VM images. This was suboptimal so Google et al pioneered containers and others followed suit. This is exactly what gave rise to Docker and Kubernetes. This seems a lot like saying, "ships solved the transportation problem so planes are not useful".

Never mind that most people don't have the resources to build, maintain, and operate their own orchestration systems.

> Amazon for example had an internal build and deployment system that solved dependency problems as well as environment variables, configuration management and additional aspects that even Kubernetes does not solve today.

Build tooling is an important but orthogonal concern (you can use Bazel and friends to build container images). I'm not sure what you mean when you say Kubernetes doesn't solve those problems today.

To be clear, I'm not a Docker/K8s fanatic; they can be frustrating at times and something better will surely come along and replace them eventually. However, they're a lot better than what existed before (which to be clear were not off-the-shelf solutions but rather patterns that a large, wealthy, competent organizations could use to build their own solution).
The only problem is access to decent schools for your kids.

Otherwise for me it'd be a no-brainer. Metro land values are so high, you are just working for them and compromising hugely in what you are doing.
Really neat corporate structure! We'd looked into becoming a B-Corp, but the advice that we'd gotten was that it was an almost strictly inferior vehicle both for achieving impact and for potentially achieving commercial success for us. I'm obviously not a lawyer, but it's great to see Open AI contributing to the new interesting structures to solve hard global scale problems.

I wonder if the profit cap multiple is going to end up being a significant signalling risk for them. A down-round is such a negative event in the valley, I can imagine a "increasing profit multiple" would have to be treated the same way.

One other question for the folks at OpenAI: How would equity grants work here? You get X fraction of an LP that gets capped at Y dollar profits? Are the fractional partnerships/transferable if earned into?

Would you folks think about publishing your docs?
Right, and I would like to force it to be passed as USD whatever else happens.
> OSS has stopped (if it ever truly was) being a part time endeavour.

I think that depends on what OSS crowd you want to run with. The part-time hobbyist sector may be, I think, stronger than ever before.

The difference now is that there exists the "commercial" OSS sector. That is certainly not part-time hobbyist.

There is some overlap between those two worlds, but they are very different and distinct worlds nonetheless.
> Detaching emotion from the outcome is key.

Performance will drop if you detach emotion from your work, even if it is supposedly 'rational' work.

We aren't robots, and the whole brain is supposed to work together to achieve a goal, and emotions have a part in that.

Yes, I think underlying my criticism is the important fact that trains are not planes or cars. Trains do not slide on rubber tires the way the other two do and are, in fact, very capable of traveling from point A to point B in inclement weather.

For the sake of discussion, lets focus on the idea itself, whatever the motiviations of the politician who's saying it.

>> Users are already getting value for their data - the product showing the ads. People have a choice in whether they want to use gmail and get a free best-in-class email client, backend storage, and worldwide access to their email. The trade is that they're participating in an ad platform that

FB are currently earning $50b pa from advertising, which is largely premised on FB's data collection on and off the platform. What users get is, by-and-large, very similar to what they were getting in 2012, when FB was making $5bn. That 10X increase in revenue (and 10X increase in FB staff/cost) hasn't gone towards making more/better product. It has gone towards making better (often more creepy) ad-tech.

At least with television there is competition, and that means ad revenue has to go towards making more/better programming.

SAAS has negligible marginal cost and often strong network effects. The value of an ad-platform and many uses of data (especially ad-targetting) also scales exponentially. This is leading to bad, monopolistic outcomes.
DirecTV Now to Launch More Expensive Plans, Replacing Existing Ones
Not true, the president can declare an 'emergency' and circumvent Congress.
The shift started back in the late 2000s when the explosion of NoSQL and AWS made it easier than before for people to pretend they have problems they don't.

Before NoSQL you had to do expensive/difficult stuff like manual database sharding and buying expensive dedicated hardware. Now you can instantly spin up a few instances.

Considering how much easier it is to put the infrastructure in place IF you ever need it, its odd to me how focused on it people seem to be.
RDMA is an interesting point because QLogic was doing some stuff then Cavium bought them then Marvell bought them. And then there's the Emulex-Avago-Broadcom chain. The entire market is converging into a few major players.

It is worth adding that the margin out of an app tends to be A LOT higher than shopping centers, airport, etc while the initial capital tends to be a fraction of it.

There are also different ways in which you can use the data to help you create another app with high daily active players. An app can have the whole world as their oyster, unlike shopping centers, etc.
I can certainly see how that can normalize behavior where death threats are part of the job (see other comments).

Lawrence Ferlinghetti’s Enduring San Francisco
Yeah - I think this potential next step for nVidia has both good and bad intentions for the world of HPC. However, it'll be interesting to see how they compete with the existing "NetFPGA" open source project. They've essentially been building purpose-built offerings analogous to Intel's recently announced "Intel FPGA Programmable Acceleration Card N3000".

IMO, more of the issues with these advanced networking protocols is latency - something that is usually more addressable via protocol dev than just hardware. Would be very interesting to see nVidia try to acquire Xilinx and supercharge their "Aurora" low overhead transfer protocol...

"Compromise feels almost inevitable ... I wouldn't put personal data I am not willing to lose online"

I kinda wonder. How do you do that in our modern age? Is the computer you store the data on connected to the internet? If the answer is yes, your data can be accessed. If the answer is no, is that computer on the same network as any other device you use to connect to the internet? If the answer is yes, your data can be accessed. If the answer is no, you might be secure, but then I have a question, who the hell are you that you run a disconnected, private network just to store some personal data?
> Sway is absolutely incredible, it puts macOS, built by Apple's army of engineers and dump trucks of money to shame in its simplicity, stability, and efficiency.

They have different design goals. A tiling window manager is not a good default for everyone or every device type or screen size.
Today's porn is just too crass to compete with real life. Hans Billian's oevre was slightly silly, and Patricia Rhomberg could actually act, and nowadays it's violent excess, and good sex isn't like that. No surprise that laying off BIG COCK DESTROYS ASIAN STEPSISTERS ANUS improves things.
What's the status of blurry XWayland applications on HiDPI screens? I tried to replace i3 with sway a couple months ago and couldn't get VSCode to look decent with scaling.
I get the opposite feeling. I feel like I'm in a trash dump when I use an overlapping window manager, and have to sort through the pile to find what I need. Tiling window managers perhaps make more sense for devs or other professionals who use several of the same applications every day and know what window and pane they will be on, and can switch quickly with keystrokes. That being said, once you internalize the model and key bindings, it's not restrictive at all and can work for the general case as well, and actually feels freeing rather than boxed in. And there is always the option to break a window out from tiles and overlap if you so wish.
Its pretty common for certain projects. As an example, here's a dozen Kubernetes distributions, all with some value add, https://www.infoworld.com/article/3265059/12-kubernetes-dist...

At least in Kubernetes land, that lead to the foundation (CNCF) creating a certified Kubernetes conformance program, to avoid end user confusion and establish a baseline feature set.

Another example from years past, would have been openstack, with many vendors shipping/selling their own branded variants.
a cool feature youll probably like is in tilling vms you can use stacked/tabbed views to get those benefits
Read a paper: Solution of a problem in concurrent programming control
Genuine question: Is this restructure for the purpose of taking government military contracts? I don't see how investors would be getting 100x returns otherwise and my understanding was that salaries for employees was competitive with big tech companies. Curious where Open AI feels like there's money to be made.
I mostly switch between a full screen terminal and a full screen browser. The benefit of tiling is that when the browser opens a popup, or I need to look at my terminal next to my browser it's super simple. You just shift the browser to the workspace with the terminal with a keypress. Then when you are done you shift it back.

Tiling is simply more efficient it drives you into a keyboard based workflow that makes the most efficient use of your screen real estate. You can still have floating windows in Sway, or tabs for that matter as well when you need them.
I've found that todo lists only work if they're put in context of larger goals and you have a system to repeatedly, frequently pop() the top of the list. It's OK (and common!) to have a todo list of 100 things, as long as you give yourself time to think about prioritization of the tasks. Someone on here recommended "Work Clean" by Charnas. It's a little fluffy at the end, but he does provides a structure with which to place and schedule tasks that I found pretty useful called Daily Meeze. It's just meta-planning (plan/schedule 30 minutes out of every day to plan/schedule). Super simple, yet effective.
Spin this however you want, but if you're in a well-populated urban area and you can't pay a worker $15 an hour in 2019 and also keep your business afloat, there's something fundamentally wrong with your business.

Ideally you'd be using multiple workspaces, and only have 1-4 windows on a single given one.

I like to organize my workspaces by a category of activity. I'll have one per project I'm currently working on, then one for communications (Email, Chat, etc) one for web-browsing, etc.

I try to keep the non-project ones consistent, so at any point I can, say, tap Meta-9 and instantly be brought a web browser on Workspace 9.

Lockdown Mode on the Librem 5: Beyond Hardware Kill Switches
I would love for this to be solid, but something here seems too good to be true. Modern hashing is well-studied, with lots of smart people attacking the problem. Modern hashes like Google's FarmHash are thousands of lines of code with platform-specific intrinsics for acceleration. This hash claims to beat other modern hashes in speed, without using platform-specific intrinsics, and without quality problems, and in a mere 100 lines of code to boot.

I would love for this to be true, but I'd love to see a more thorough explanation of how it manages to be both smaller and faster than other competing hashes.

This is a very surprising move from AWS. In the past they haven't seemed to be willing to contribute to the OSS that they pick up and host. Even though they claim they'll contribute changes upstream, I doubt that Elastic would accept changes that are competitive with their commercial offerings. So you effectively get a fork.

I think this is a win for the Elastic community as a whole, but presents a real problem for Elastic the company. And that begs the question of what happens to the Elastic community if there's a real fork. And what happens if Elastic the company is very negatively impacted? Do we see a fracture of the community?

Looking even farther out, at this point does it make sense for any startup looking to create infrastructure software to open source it? If their project becomes successful, they'll get eaten up by the hosting providers. It makes smaller scale open source more commercially viable because you won't attract the attention of the providers that would come in a take your business.

Will be interesting to at least watch what early stage VC investment in open source companies looks like over the next 12-24 months. Will the open source pitch work for series A investments or will investors shy away?

this is a pretty cool project sir, hats off!. it might actually be pretty useful in the way you said for automatically being able to categorise or classify streams and other game related content by game or game category etc,

That might help for a similar but more broad category set for said target audiences.
Nope. We ground the planes until we figure out what’s wrong. There is simply too much risk in “not jumping to conclusions,” unless you wouldn’t mind the deaths of a couple hundred people on your head?
I'm currently looking to buy a house, and although I can't say we've followed the prescribed solution to this problem to the letter (partly because house buying has partially overlapping option availability), I have found it to be a useful way to frame our approach to evaluating options.

Concretely, we've very consciously had a "just looking" phase, where we look at a bunch of houses with the rule that we absolutely will not buy one of them, no matter how appealing: they're only there to give us a benchmark. We've tried to size it in proportion to the number of houses we think we'd plausibly want to look at, given our horizon for buying.

I'm curious if anyone has found other useful methodologies for guiding these sorts of life decisions?
I didn't click with this essay. I found it difficult to relate to someone who had such a position of power and privilege complaining about their job in the manner of a moody teenager. Also the repeated book self-promotion got on my nerves.
The database, whose server is in China, included fields labeled in English for sex, age, education, marital status, as well as a column titled “BreedReady”, which could be a poor translation of Chinese terms to describe whether a woman has children or is of child-bearing age, observers noted.

The real win here is toxins and sanitation.

A big dirty secret is that organic crops fail at both. Farmers buy special organic pesticides, for example toxic plant juice. The fertilizer is often poo.

These indoor farms are kept bug-free. They should also be free of rats and birds. If a bird craps on your lettuce, there is no way to really fully sanitize that without destroying the lettuce. You can wash it so that it looks nice and people will eat it, but you will never make it safe.

The farmers themselves are also a problem of course, particularly the lowest-paid workers who often don't get proper treatment for diseases and often don't really understand or care about sanitation. Indoor farms allow an easier transition to automation, which would greatly reduce this disease risk.
Yes, we're planning to release a third-party usable reference version of our docs (creating this structure was a lot of work, probably about 6-9 months of implementation).

We've made the equity grants feel very similar to startup equity — you are granted a certain number of "units" which vest over time, and more units will be issued as other join employees in the future. Incidentally, these end up being taxed more favorably than options, so we think this model may be useful for startups for that reason too.
