Hm. I have mixed feelings reading this. I'm a very experienced Linux admin that rebranded to DevOps, and I can tell you no one outside of government/academia or slower organizations like (some legacy groups within) banks cares about your awk and zsh skills, or even kernel internals.

They do care about coding, very very much. I get slammed with coding challenges, sometimes even before talking to a real human, and once three separate rounds, in interviews.

Think they care you can set up a mail server, troubleshoot IO issues, read a tcpdump. Well the answer is they might. But Docker, extensive AWS and Python or Ruby at the software engineer level? They will.

RIP systems administration and RHCE relevance.

Don't waste your time if you're looking for a new job, for instance. Your time is better spent on the examples above. And soon, Kubernetes.
It's a pretty good price but assuming you are storing 8TB and you get your own drive, the drive would pay for itself in about 14 months... so you would basically get the next 4 years for free if you are willing to manage it...
Buses are a half-million dollars or more, without fancy self-driving tech. Doubling your fleet (to double peak capacity) is a big investment.

Garage and maintenance costs also increase with the number of buses.
Gerrymandering can be used to unseat an incumbent, but often it creates a safe district for one. The candidate can then loan out their warchest to members of their caucus running in closer elections. Ending the practice may end the horse trading that takes place behind closed doors. Maybe then GOP senators can spend July 4th at home rather than in Moscow presumably as some kind of a low man on the totem pole cleanup crew.
I never said they were convicted. I said the factual evidence is laid out in the indictments.
I said he was their stooge. That doesn't mean he knew he was their stooge.
That says that the Swedish military stopped _a_ rendition flight, because their rules weren't being followed.

Nowhere does it say that rendition flights are off the table in Sweden anymore.
The only place I would cycle regularly is the Netherlands, because of the infrastructure and the attitude of drivers.

In the US, I have heard that the statistics around biking to work every day is that the median lifespan is higher, but the variability is much higher.

I barely feel safe around other drivers when I'm in my own car, a marvel of technology designed to keep me safe.
Slightly off-topic - is anyone able to identify the software used in this photo of the first time seeing the black hole?

Less an issue with 5 GHz, because drywall does a fairly effective job of blocking signal. Not entirely, but quite a lot. Which is why I have 4 mesh APs in our 1700 sqft house: One in each of the rooms where we use wireless most, and one in the middle.

We went from having spotty Internet to it being really solid. I think we have some neighbors that have devices that interfere with 2.4G (cordless phone? Microwave? Baby monitor?)
Sorry again Stunting, I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.

Good luck in your fitness endeavors :)
Scania presented this as an idea for long-distance hauling in Sweden and they had a trial of autonomous trucks somewhere north of Falun (?).
We have a plant/office in Ningbo. It's 5 stories, however only the first floor is used. There is a server room on the second floor. Very odd.

Serious question.

Yes - this is a constant peeve of mine. Stories are so much more powerful if there's a single inspirational character, but that's rarely how these types of scientific projects or development efforts came to fruition - especially in Jony Ive's case.
The trouble in this case is that the behavior being prosecuted is not the sort of thing that would result in prosecution under many other circumstances. There is a law against it, but enforcing it in this context gives the impression of selective prosecution.

They haven't discovered a crime, investigated it to determine who was behind it and arrested them; they've discovered a man they wish to charge and went around looking for something to charge him with.
It is certainly much more uniquely defined, since the direction of the result is determined. But yes, the cross product is defined relative to an orientation and changes coordinates accordingly.

That's one of many reasons why the wedge product is more natural. If I could have my way there would not be a single cross product in the entirety of physics.
No one is attacking the actual argument. We're attacking Buzzfeed's belief in their own argument. We're saying they're like the murderer, who once caught, says murder is bad in the hopes of leniency. Only Buzzfeed is saying privacy violations are bad in the explicit hope they'll get to violate more privacy. Worse than hypocrites, this makes them scoundrels.
> This paper provides an overview of the physiology of breathing, a review of the literature on breathwork.

I don't see any indication that you read the paper or the abstract. The article isn't "about psychotherapy", it's about bodywork, and draws from scientific literature on physical aspects of respiration. This article gives a pretty clear picture picture of how breath, pH and wellness are intertwined.

---------------

You wrote:

> It is perfectly acceptable to claim that breathing exercises are useful for mental health. You are making additional claims that are not supported, regarding health benefits for people that do not have a diagnosis that requires therapy.

From the article:

> Unfortunately, very little research has been done on the psychological effects of acidosis and alkalosis, though it may be possible to make some inferences via research done on the stress response.

Also from the article:

> To put breath physiology into more gaseous detail, if body activity stays the same, an increase in breathing will increase the rate of CO2 diffusing from the blood into the lungs. This can cause the CO2 concentration in the blood to fall, which will cause the acid level of the blood to drop, and its pH will become alkalotic (too alkaline). Alkalosis often leads to muscle spasm, tetany, anxiety, and panic (Fried, 1987; Lowry, 1967; Nakamura, 1981; Rhinewine & Williams, 2007), with Nakamura noting that when the pH exceeds 7.60, hyperventilation tetany takes place. If breathing is depressed, CO2 concentrations in the blood will rise, causing the acid level to rise, and the pH of the blood will become more acidic. As was noted before, chronic alkalosis or acidosis can both cause long-term harm to physical well-being. Farhi (1996) states that relaxed breathing enhances the immune system, assists in the absorption of nutrients and proteins, supports bone growth, and boosts overall cellular health in the body. In addition, it is believed that balanced breathing sustains circulation, maintains mental clarity, strengthens organ function, and provides pain relief (Boerstler & Kornfeld, 1995). Balanced breathing in this sense is defined as a relationship between the inhale and the exhale such that an appropriate blood pH is maintained. Farhi (1996) also emphasises that good breathing increases physical energy and mental concentration via the oxygenation of all our cells, and asserts that using specific breathing practices in conscious ways has been shown to ease migraines, lessen chronic pain, assuage panic attacks, and lower symptoms of asthma. Perri and Halford (2004) found that conscious breathing reduces chronic pain.
Sooo.. you've hung out with Assange?
edit: My point is, the fact that you feel comfortable calling him actually a dick despite only knowing him through media portrayal means that the character assassination has worked.
Safer from the minimizing personal liability perspective. If cutting people off is a valid tactic because they bend over and take it then more people will do it more of the time and that makes everyone less safe.

We don't negotiate with terrorists for a reason.
One of the things that hurts autonomous vehicles is that we're basically solving the most difficult situation up front: maneuvering in a world full of vehicles that are operated by unreliable watery sacks of meat that give no indication of their intentions. If all cars were autonomous and interconnected the problem would be far easier to solve.

That said, I think "decades" is overly pessimistic. There have been some great strides in computer vision and decision making over the past few years and the hardware is pressing ever onward. That said it will be decades (if ever) before we're willing to rip the controls out of the cabin entirely, but a level 4.5 system where the people in the car can do whatever while it drives and only need to intervene when the computer alerts them that there is a situation it cannot handle (but can stop a safe distance away from if necessary).

Any ideas on when this will be? There has been talk about faster compile times for years now without that much apparent progress.
k8s was a genius move by Google, and it's working. Especially with OpenShift, it will commodize PaaS.

I'm hoping the same thing happens with Knative.
The difference seems to be that most journalists report on the leaked documents, whereas Wikileaks essentially data dumps it.

Not saying them releasing Podesta's emails was bad, just I don't think that's what journalists typically do.
WikiLeaks: Collateral Murder – Iraq, 2007 (2010) [video]
Steve Klabnik's comment has already mentioned async-await, "const" generics (much like template parameters in C++, expected to be especially useful for numerics-like code), generic associated types/GAT (related to higher-kinded types as found in e.g. Haskell) and specialization (allowing narrower, more specific trait implementations to override broader ones; a not-so-ad-hoc, more elegant approach to the overall, broad issue of implementation inheritance).

On a different level, a lot of work has been planned to address compiler performance, improve IDE integration, and provide better support of special workflows e.g. for embedded development, or for WASM and the like. Work is also still ongoing on writing high-quality reference documentation for the language, and moreover for a better understanding of how exactly unsafe code should be expected to work, which in turn will enable a more formal approach to the Rust language as a whole.
I think it was more news organizations rightfully view WikiLeaks less as a journalistic org and one that wants to craft their leaks to their liking in order to achieve outcomes. Amusingly, that's sort of what you seem to accuse the other news organizations of....

After that started to become clear news sites were less likely to simply cite Wikileaks copy and paste style as they had been in the past. I think that was a responsible choice.
> Between June and October of 2016, the group associated with the election hacking "researched websites and information related to elections in at least 39 states and territories, according to newly available FBI information," the bulletin states. "The same actors also directly visited websites in at least 30 states, mostly election-related government sites at both the state and local level—some of which overlap with the 39 researched states."

> The "actors" performed their research "in alphabetical order by state name," the bulletin states, "suggesting that at least the initial research was not targeted at specific states." The research focused on Secretary of State voter registration and election results sites, but it also drilled down on some local election officials' webpages. As they accessed sites, actors "regularly attempted to identify and exploit SQL database vulnerabilities in webservers and databases."

Voter registration information is public (although not technically to Russian citizens!).

Visiting the front end websites of the state election authorities and attempting SQL injection on the web forms is not what some downthread are calling a military attack.

However, I think it’s great to be sent such a wake up call in the form of a “tap on the shoulder” because these systems should be heavily monitored and better protected.

The true election systems should require feet on the ground to compromise in any form. And they should not be electronic without a proper auditable paper record.
Compile speed, not compiling the same dependencies all over the time.

Many commercial use cases require distribution of binary libraries, Rust community might care about winning those customers, or just let them go and leave them to keep using the languages that fulfil such use cases.
Exactly. Hopefully, it can help reduce the cost of goods and highway road safety. There’s going to be a lot of edge cases in Manhattan traffic.
How to use your Apple News Plus subscription to get around paywalls
Anyone that puts reasonable effort into a reasonable program will see great results.

Definitely give something a try, but I see no compelling reason to pay for this when there are a variety of high-quality free programs out there.

The importance of 'fitness programming' per se is massively inflated online; you'll absolutely need some structure to achieve high performance, but 'the usual software engineer physical stereotype' basically can't help but make progress if they're actually doing physical activity. You could do some of the most bone-headed things imaginable and you wouldn't be wasting your time.

If you're looking for tracking apps or something to do the 'thinking' for you, there are literally dozens of good options.
Looking forward to them. :)

Creating a resumable file uploader in Go using tus protocol
Purely from a logistical standpoint, it would be difficult to commit voter fraud in large enough numbers to make a difference in most elections, and get away with it.

An individual here or there might manage to vote more than once by, say, impersonating someone they know won't vote (deceased, moved away, etc), but that's unlikely to make a difference.

To make a difference, it would need to be coordinated and large scale. So how do you round up a sufficient number of people, convince them all to vote illegally, and then keep quiet about it? How do you get them to all the different polling places? How do you ensure that whomever they are voting in place of on the voter rolls is both eligible to vote and hasn't already voted?

Now I'm only going by my voting district. Here, you either absentee vote, early vote, or vote in your precinct. Regardless, you have to give your name, address and signature. They then check you against the voter rolls and record that you've voted. Presumably if I tried to vote again, they'd know I'd already recorded a vote, when and where.

To prevent conflicts, you'd have to in addition commit large scale registration fraud.

Maybe I'm just not sufficiently clever, but whenever I've thought through this, I haven't figure out how it could work.
I'm a skeptic as well. There are too many variables to make this kind of technology work perfectly. Reminds me of augmented reality measuring app on iPhones - it's just not reliable at all.
I don't think it covers GUI callbacks like on Gtk-rs, accessing internal widget data.
A very good discussion, maybe I shouldn't have been surprised, given the participants.

But I guess I am surprised at how much I agree with Daniel Dennett, as I vaguely remember reading him in the past and not buying his arguments. Maybe it just took me some time to appreciate what he was saying.

In case you were wondering they didn't really approach the superintelligence question except to allow that it seems possible.
I'm assuming you mean the LPIC certification?

LPIC certification: "Vendor neutral," meaning you need to memorize (note I said memorize, not learn) how both Debian and RHEL do things. For example, you'll be tested both on YUM and APT.

LPIC certifications are multiple choice, and really come down to rote memorization of flags. You're also tested on stuff of questionable relevance, like X11, desktop environments, and CUPS. If you're supporting Linux desktops, that stuff is probably important. But Linux deployed mostly on servers.

RHSA: RHEL/CentOS-only, and performance based. You can use man pages during the exam, so you can concentrate what commands do what and how to configure things. This is opposed to LPIC, where you're more focused on obscure flags.

Ubuntu has no vendor-specific exam. If you really want to stick with Debian/Ubuntu, go with the Linux Foundation certs. They're performance-based and you can choose to do it on Debian.
Hyperlink Auditing Pings Being Used to Perform DDoS Attacks
A cyclist, particularly on a heavy bike, going even 10-15 mph is pretty dangerous for an unaware pedestrian. When people collide on foot at walking pace, it's not too bad.
first, china has a population of 1.5b, compared to the US 20. So to get an idea of what the US equivalent of a building project would be, divide it by 5.
Now observe as the rents in big US cities have grown unaffordable for a majority of people due to insufficient building, what China is doing is much better. Having too many apartments available for 20 years is good compared to having none.

The FAA is currently considering relaxing this requirement.
It's a very notable algebraic structure because it "works" only in a specific number of dimensions instead of belonging to an infinite family, but it doesn't mean that it is more useful for practical or theoretical purposes than boring wedge products. For starters, you'd need a specifically 7-dimensional problem to solve; the 3-dimensional cross product is much easier to "sell".
That could simply come down to insufficient “people on the inside” of those country’s respective governments to act as a source of leaks. China in particular, I would imagine not too many people are willing to (literally) die over exposing some random state secrets.
Looks good, except: Would it be possible to include other countries than US and CA? I'm in DK and the selection available to me is vastly different from that of US and CA.

NYC only became a cultural and financial center in the last century. The core Western cultural hub has been moving around over the last couple centuries - Vienna, Paris, NYC, now arguably SF. It's not impossible for another to rise in this century. I could easily see two world cultural centers reflecting the divide in underlying cultural polarities (conformism vs. individualism, etc). China as the epicenter for a new pole makes sense, though stifled speech may affect it. Maybe a diverse satellite, like Hong Kong or Bangkok. (I haven't visited Asia so I don't have a good grasp of dynamics there).
You’ve missed Oncology.
Many times they've claimed to have important data on a government, business, about a topic.... and done nothing / never mentioned it again. And that's just going by their own tweets.

What is going on in the background I have no idea, but just based on their own efforts to hype data they claimed to have and never release it made me question what they really valued.

Now a real journalist might have information they never release because they aren't sure if it is legit or sometimes even a government asks them to wait (kind a controversial there) but I don't see them claim to have solid evidence and then just not do anything with it. If I take Wikileaks at their word about their information, then I also have to wonder why they chose not to release information that they claimed to have / would release.... And that doesn't account for things like tipping off various politicians ahead of actual releases and etc.

When Maxwell first derived his equations in 1861, he did it without a cross product. As a matter of fact, the vector analysis of Gibbs and Heaviside was developed to formulate Maxwell equations.

The most elegant formulation of Maxwell equations is obtained, in my opinion, using Geometric Algebra, which reduces them to a single and very simple equation.

Every city should be doing this. It's shameful how little attention we've paid to cyclist safety with city designs up to this point.
Here in Seattle, we have single-lane roads that go both directions.

When two cars are facing each other, there is a lot of human interaction and understanding about who should go first, who should pull off into a parking spot, or perhaps who should reverse into the intersection to let the other pass.

This is one of thousands of edge-cases that are going to be extremely challenging to automate. I'm not sure it's even possible without some understanding of the counterparty, their intentions and body language.

One problem with developing these technologies in California is that California has very wide, very regular roads. High visibility and dry conditions are the norm. There are few uncontrolled intersections (in Seattle they are the rule, not an exception). I think California's history as a motorist culture has conversely made it one of the easiest places to automate.

Some more reliable than others. You have no fucking clue what direction the wind is coming down on the wings based on horizon.

You have a skewed perception of what wind is. On the ground it is always horizontal because it can't go into the ground. Once you get up into the sky the dynamics are insane. Get out of your armchair.
