I don't want to seem rude, but to my ignorant eyes and those of its users, it's a forum software that requires a 10GB hard disk to install, and 20GB to update. I know that there will be a lot of technical details that will justify (or not) why, but, hey, that's a lot for a forum and there is no sane alternative way to install it.

I've found that I'm not alone: https://meta.discourse.org/search?q=disk%20space

There are entire pages of users complaining about the same or related problems.

At the end of the day, it's (almost) free... so what are we complaining for?
Warp+ with Argo sounds like it has the potential to really improve the internet experience on ISPs that have poor routes.

Will warp be available on desktop machines at some point?

They're referring to combustion efficiency, not thermodynamic efficiency, i.e. what percentage of the natural gas is completely combusted and released into the atmosphere as CO2.
Ah, that's orders of magnitude more than US prisoners are paid. Looks like average is below $1/hour.[0] Which is actually lower than I had imagined and makes me want to retract my previous comment about mixed feelings. :|

I watched the market go haywire on this day. Attentive people made a cool buck or two as dislocations arose.

What's crazy is that there were already rules in place to prevent stuff like this from happening - namely the Market Access Rule https://www.sec.gov/news/press/2010/2010-210.htm which was in place in 2010.

When the dust settled, Knight sold the entire portfolio over via a blind portfolio bid to GS. Was a couple $bn gross portfolio. I think they made a pretty penny on this as well.
I guess over the years I've lost some perspective :). Thanks for your reply.
Do you have regular one-on-one meetings with your boss? The 1st step is to ask. That is when you'll set the goal posts to get the raise. They may give you some objectives
to work on or be satisfied with your performance already and give it to you. If they're not willing to seriously discuss the matter, that's a red flag and you should probably consider job hunting.
Let me ask you this, can you tell which of your coworkers are good developers or a bad ones?
> Isolation just doesn't work though, as I pointed out it's made zero difference to North Korea's behaviour and China was doing all the same things back when it was isolated.

> I'm not saying that's necessarily true, but it's plausible. I can see a case for symbolic sanctions though, something that's eye-catching but not necessarily economically impactful, as a way to draw attention to the issue within China.

Except my understanding is that the modern PRC regime has staked its legitimacy on increasing living standards and economic development, since they de facto abandoned Communism. The regime itself fears an economic slowdown could loosen its grip on power.

So, relatively onerous economy-slowing sanctions tied to demands for liberalization [1] may actually work pretty well, forcing the authoritarians to pick their poison.

[1] e.g. make things like opening up the great firewall a condition for lowering tariffs/loosening embargoes.

For those like myself who have a diet largely consisting of meat, this sounds great for the exact reasons you described; reduced environmental impact and possibly greater personal health. I agree that the original Impossible Burger was disappointing, but if they manage to incrementally improve to the point of being barely distinguishable, I think overall its a really good thing.
Even if you ask, they may not be able to tell you. Many places are just not set up to be able to give that information beforehand.
I interview quite a lot, and one of the things I try to do in an interview is work through a problem that I almost certainly understand more deeply than any of the candidates (both because it's my niche and because I've worked through the exact problem with hundreds of candidates before). There's a certain minimum bar that I expect any educated and intelligent individual to achieve if they're a good match for the job, but then I take it really far beyond what I actually expect them to know, to the point where a lot of the details are unknown, and the details matter a lot in determining what kinds of solutions will be successful. Do they start BS'ing me? Do they confidently walk into really nasty parts of the problem without recognizing the pitfalls? Or do they tell me they're a little stuck? Do they ask which trade-offs to make? Do they ask if they can do some Googling for prior research on the problem? Do they explain what they would try and what pitfalls they would watch our for, or how they would validate their idea? Do they ask if they can make some simplifying assumptions for practical purposes? There's a lot of right and wrong answers but really I want to see their attitude and communication.

My first couple of hires before I did this were a brilliant computer scientist and a guy with a business degree and some coding background. I was surprised to see the guy with the business degree excel because we weren't doing many CS-hard problems, and an ability to manage time, talk about the problem, and navigate the project life cycle were far more important than classic algorithm knowledge. He needed to know how to code and debug, for sure, but like most software jobs, his soft skills were a force multiplier.

I'm pretty sure this has been done with me - I was given a problem and told to come up with something like an O(n log n) solution, and I honestly couldn't do it. I tried a few different approaches but I could think of really bad pathological cases for all of them. The interviewer gave me a few suggestions which I explored and I kept exploring them and then admitted I didn't see a way forward. I thought I was bombing and then he told me I did really well. I looked up the problem and found out he had done Ph.D. research in that area, and there was no general O(n log n) solution - only solutions that could do that in most practical cases.
I tried the impossible burger and personally didn't notice a difference. The boyfriend tried a bite, and liked it, but could taste something off. I'm kinda excited to see where both the impossible burger goes, and where other restaurants take this.

Also for the price to come down, it was like $3 more than the boyfriend's burger
It runs on Android. They probably haven't released a desktop Linux version because of the small market share, but there's probably no technical reason why they couldn't.
Thanks for your perspective; I didn't know any of those costs.

Everyone has their own individual vice preferences, but some vices are demonstrably worse for health than others. I'm not one to tell a person to quit smoking, but it seems likely that in this case, the guy's two heart attacks did just that.
> Ugh. First: The vegetarians that I know don't like meat. So making a veggie burger that tastes like the thing they don't like is just dumb.

What about the other 95% of people you know who aren't vegetarians because they like meat a lot?

> Second: When I tasted an Impossible Burger, it was awful. It tasted like a horrible veggie burger.

Haven't had one myself, but the friends I've heard from (largely not vegetarians) have liked it better than that. Reserving judgement until I can get one.

> I personally reduced my meat consumption for environmental and health reasons, but when I want a burger, I get a burger.

It sounds like you're disagreeing with your own first point. "So making a veggie burger that tastes like the thing they don't like is just dumb," but (supposing they'd actually pulled that off) you're exactly the market who would eat it. Likes meat, wants a burger, reducing meat consumption for environmental and health reasons. Doesn't sound dumb to me.
And energy efficiency is tightly correlated with wealth and living standards.

Laptops vs. Desktops. (I have this fear about computers donated overseas that cost more to run in electricity than buying new(er) laptops).

A 95% efficient furnace costs more than the 85%.

A heat-pump water heater costs more than the standard immersion element type.

A new fridge will pay for itself in electricity savings when replacing a 25 year old unit.

Insulation costs money.

Building with 2x6s costs more than 2x4s.

A digital thermostat that keeps track of whether you’re at home or not costs more.

LED light bulbs cost more than incandescents (but the difference has shrunk).

With a carbon tax to replace income/sales taxes, we’ll properly target those that have oversized or poorly designed homes (even if they are “efficient” per square meter).

Cars have the same things going on: LED headlights, electric everything instead of mechanical on the serpentine belt. Hybrids. Stop/start.

And I don’t care what anyone says about how complicated and computerized cars are getting: it’s nice to have the car tell you what’s wrong and be able to google it.

Otherwise I would never have known my mom’s gas cap was faulty, or her intake manifold gasket was what was causing the high rev rpms and occasional stall.
Unfortunately, we don't have a good equivalent to digital in french: numérique means "relative to numbers (nombres)", digital means "relative to digits (chiffres)".

I am in favor of using digital in french (we learn to count with fingers after all).
It's a minimum standard that enforces some level of transparency and accountability, and it means that you can generally find somewhere else to transfer to that will accept your credits.

My dentist told me that people with red hair are less susceptible to the effects of novicane. I have red in my beard and always need a second injection when getting drilled. She said this is the cause.
I'm trying to do my part. I live in NYC, I don't own a car, and I very rarely take any method of transport that isn't walking, biking, or subway. Even my heating in winter comes from the steam system, which is co-generated with electricity (i.e. it uses the waste heat from power generation).

A huge part of my CO2 footprint is thus probably eating meat and airplanes.
"First: The vegetarians that I know don't like meat."

Hi, nice to meet you! Vegan for almost a decade, the smell of a burger on the grill in the summer gives me hella cravings. We exist.

"Second: When I tasted an Impossible Burger, it was awful. It tasted like a horrible veggie burger."

I'm jealous, you must not have ever eaten a truly horrible veggie burger. I had a Gardenburger in like 2005 that literally tasted like cardboard. The Impossible Burger is a miracle of science.
I disagree that it isn't a software bug.

"The new RLP code also repurposed a flag" - this is the moment when terrible software development idea was executed that resulted in all of the mess.

Of course I don't know the full context and maybe, just maybe there was a really solid reason to reuse a flag on anything.

What I observe more often is something like this though:

1. We need a flag to change behaviour of X for use case A, let's introduce enable_a flag.
2. We want similar behaviour change of X also for use case B, let's use the enable_a flag despite the fact the name is not a good fit now.
3. Turns out use case B needs to be a bit different so let's introduce enable_b flag but not change the previous code so basically we need them both true to handle use case B.
4. Turns out for use case A we need to do something more but things should stay the same for B.
5. At this point no one really knows what enable_a and enable_b really do. Hopefully at least someone noticed that enable_a affects use case B.

If you have an use case A, create a handle_a flag. If you have a use case B create handle_b flag even if they do exactly the same thing as more than likely they do exactly the same thing only for now.

What would probably be even better is separate, properly named config flags for each little behaviour change and just use all 5 of those to handle different use cases.

Don't ask for a rise then. Ask for an early performance review discussion to check how you are doing, if you are hitting all kpi,etc...

So, ask for the meeting that will decide if you are getting a rise or not, instead.
I'm not sure about the beginning, but it uses Hyper-V for a while. I don't know about that bug, I used it with Windows 10 Pro, I guess bugs happens, probably they will fix it soon if it's widespread. I know that you need a special Docker package (Docker Toolbox) for VirtualBox and default Docker package from their website requires Hyper-V.

Time Probably Isn’t Different for Fannie, Freddie
By bringing up alternative offers, you’re effectively calling for a re-evaluation of your value. There’s naturally little incentive for your manager to re-evaluate when the expected outcome is higher cost; there’s clear incentive to re-evaluate when it’ll go lower. So it’s only natural that, leaving your pay solely to the discretion of management, your pay will go down over time.

The problem is not realizing you’re in an antagonistic relationship with your employer, when thinking about wage. This wasn’t as much an issue when the general path was as a salaryman, staying in DEC for fifty years, following strictly defined promotional paths. But today’s tech expects job-hopping, and there’s no clear timeline for re-evaluation or promotion. It now just occurs somewhat randomly, when you bring it in, or when they do. Putting in your 5 years and expecting a natural re-evaluation is no longer sufficient.
Yes, the article mentions that desktop apps are coming soon.
Tone note: I'm posting technically, not value-judging.

I would say "anonymity" is a fairly strong term for what's being offered here. It's going to hide your source IP, and if you don't mind CF seeing your unencrypted content (and the fact it's unencrypted kinda means that from a technical perspective, you already don't care), it may improve the amount of the connection to unencrypted content that is encrypted (and thereby block the "coffee shop" attack fairly well), but that's all. They're not going to actively strip the bajillions of other active tracking techniques being used nowadays. Your phone will still track location. Facebook will still track you on your phone every bit as much as they did before. etc.

This is part of a complicated set of measures you may be able to take to attain anonymity, but not even remotely the full package.

Again, this is a technical posting to ensure that people understand what this is and is not. This is not a criticism of the service for not being something it isn't or anything like that.

Less technically and more value-judgy (though still not much), note the title: "Introducing Warp: Fixing Mobile Internet Performance and Security" Performance was highlighted first, security second. This seems to me to be a reasonable and accurate reflection of the nature of the service.
I'm hoping the Burger King trial goes well so we can get nationwide expansion, in large part to help bring the price down. That premium is still a little rough, Impossible is in a lot of restaurants but doesn't have the in-store presence that Beyond Meat has at the moment. Scale, scale, scale!
Is This Chinese Electric Car Company Tesla's Only Threat?
Yes! We're working on desktop clients as well but they'll be available a bit later than the mobile launches, as the most performance benefit is available when you're on a cell network.
Thanks for the info. Maybe a simpler scripting or interpretive language (self-designed?) would be easier, rather than trying to bring in something complex at first. Something like a bash or BASIC that could make use of your GUI or events?
You are obviously correct but you do not address the article which is factually incorrect.

People do not understand Jevons paradox.

They need to read wiki closer, and need to understand it is not useful in the Real World.

You simply do not see it happening, ever. I've yet to see it applied to present day correctly of the dozens of attempts where people state it's Jevons paradox.

In this article this quote is simply a lie (if true though, it actually would be Jevons Paradox (Technically i'd have to be more than 6)), which you will see if you follow the link it gives, not true. They are talking 10% maybe?, not 600%+ !

"For example, the advance of solid state lighting (LED), which is six times more energy efficient than old-fashioned incandescent lighting, has not led to a decrease in energy demand for lighting. Instead, it resulted in six times more light." [9]

This is just common sense, are there really more than 6 times the light bulbs now we use LED lights?

There's an awful lot of "why not?" here. Remember, this is an Experimental XEP. The XMPP Council saw no reason to actively block it, but that doesn't mean we're all mad keen that everyone should rush out and do it.

There was an intense debate on whether it ought to be published as Standards Track or Humorous...
I was not aware of either of these things (and now have some interesting reading to do) thanks. I will say that it doesn't surprise me that there is some limit on how much social coordination can be done in a group.

housing, healthcare, food, clothing. How the CPI works is that necessities are mixed with nice to haves. Like large TVs and smartphones. LCD TVs price is down, smartphones price is down (and they will include things like size of the TV or speed of the smartphone to proof it's cheaper even when it isn't). Healthcare prices are tremendously up, food prices are up, yes housing prices are up, they have been going up for 10 years. And the salaries are the same. CPI is an useless metric. If my health insurance was 500 bucks and is 1300 bucks, childcare was 1,100 usd and is 1,500 usd -- what do I care about LCD TV being down? Or being able to get 5 times faster smartphone for the same price compared to 3 years ago?

In the USA the middle class and white collar (middle upper class) now too -- are getting poorer by the year.

Don't believe me? See why Trump won.
Impossible burgers are awesome and I've had quite a few. It also really depends on how it's made and how it's dressed up - as with any burger. My only lingering issue is that it is a highly processed food, and psychologically it helps to know what you're eating.

I agree, curl is great but the API is very difficult to use. Self plug, I've built my own curl c++ wrapper [0] for making thousands of requests per second (libuv event loop driver) and I find a cleaner API gets new devs into it a lot easier. It's definitely far from feature complete but I get a lot of mileage out of it.

Bash was one of the first 3rd party apps I got running so it's pretty good. No job control though, and it sometimes gets confused about signals and TTY stuff. Haven't tried the others yet. It would be fun to get an interpreted language running.
And self proclaimed bookkeepers at that. As you said nobody cares and they are always reactive anyway. They cannot invent words or they’ll be ridiculed, so they simply either accept what random dudes like you and me use everyday or they latinise some english word to try to pretend they did something... then must give up under the ridicule caused by the likes of imèle and mot-dièse :D
This isn't really relevant to the legal status of a change (i.e. patch) to a proprietary work where the source code is public.

The answer is that making the change is already usually copyright infringement (though I think some countries have a concept of private copies being exempt from these types of restrictions). But redistribution of your patch would definitely be copyright infringement because a license to create a derived work was not given to you -- and patches are by definition derived works.

They're really decent tasting, and it's exciting as a gateway to vegetarianism. I personally like veggie burgers that don't try to be meat better, but there's still a market for meat-likes.

One thing that gets me though: They smell terrible. I've cooked them in my house and have to air the place out afterwards. It's like an awful chemical plant fart. I'll never cook one in my house again.
We (by example, and the way we communicate) need to paint an alternative picture that makes this alternative look, not like making a sacrifice, but is fundamentally better.

- I drive my car less, because my employer encourages working from home. Don't you like working form home, get rid of that slog of a commute!

- hey bub, your new electric car is bitching cool. Quiet, doesn't rattle, instant powah. I want one too now.

- yeah, I downsized to a smaller home. Still 3 bedroom, 1800sqft, enough for my family of four. But much less space to clean. Also, heating bills are much lower. Also, damn, I actually can furnish this home with bespoke cabinetry instead of that disposable crap from IKEA. Badass!

- Nah, are you nuts, I'm not flying across the world just so I can take a selfie with other tourists taking the same selfie. I'm vacationing in driving distance, can do without the drag of air travel, that's for losers without inspiration anyway.

- yeah, I'm walking to the small grocery store a couple of times a week, instead of driving. Cost a little more, but get some exercise, plus, my food is fresh, and get to buy meals on a whim more. Living large, daily!

A life without burning fossil fuels can be aspirational. We need to talk up what we gain, not what we lose. And what we lose is not critical anyway. Cheap fossil fuels just enable us to waste space because of convenience, and an imaginery convenience at that.

How does that work? Is it somewhat like Tor?
Their victims may already have been awarded money, and if a prisoner makes money in prison it may end up being used towards paying that down, as any money they would have made.

Earning "okay" money for prison labor is also pretty normal Europe and can give prisoners something to fall back upon once they are released, as well as new skillsets.

If you didn't pay them, prisoners may also end up not working at all. Unlike in the US, slavery there is completely illegal even in prisons ("penal labor"). You can't force them to work by punishing them.

There is nothing to be outraged about, unless you're being blinded by a reprehensible and base thirst for third-party revenge.
