Crude, well... to be honest, because of the slang words, eg. 'getting laid' and your argument could have been framed better to be more intellectually stimulating. Taboo, well.. because I don't see anyone else talk about this, yet it's such an important topic of human psychology / sociology.

> Eric Yuan was the founding engineer of WebEx

The article and wikipedia don't say he was a founder of Webex; just a early and lead engineer.
That is only because the author (kent overstreet) based it on his former work bcache.

Fyi he now has fully persistent allocation info done so his attempt ti mainline it should start soon. Even though I still got open bug reports left I'm excited about this.

Bcachefs got

* compression
* Snapshots
* cow
* checksumming
* in build caching

He checks his code against the xfs test suite so hopefully it really will be stable and useable.

My main problems with bcachefs are:

* it's mainly one developer
* when I tested it I had problems many times
* he documents his progress irregular(ly) (not frequently with pauses and at different places: bcachefs.org, patreon home, patreon posts)
* he doesn't answer questions (on his patreon posts or on github bug reports) (this could be a good thing if he only wants to concentrate on code)
* while waiting om bcachefs becoming mature, butterfs became finally mature (kind of)

So even thought I'm following the project I'm not sure if compression now has working disk space accounting or not and similar things, but since I see admirable progress I'm still looking forward for the first mainline release

Retreat is still very expensive though. Why retreat when you can control the landscape and make it your own?

Maintaining a constant war on water is still a lot cheaper than colonizing the moon or mars; and the ROI is pretty decent.
Grandma can't compile and install OpenWRT packages. The idea is to let developers create apps (server apps) that anyone, especially Grandma, can install on their router. The experience should be similar to installing apps on iOS or Android phones.

NAS apps sound interesting, but not what I'm looking for. Router apps have untapped potential because routers are relatively inexpensive, always on, and have a real Internet address, unlike the rest of the home/office network.

What kind of apps would developers create? All kinds! Some would succeed and some would fail, just like phone apps. The point is to unleash developer creativity. Today, nearly all Internet traffic is routed to Netflix, Google, Amazon, and Facebook. Over the next few years, consumers will buy millions upon millions of upgraded routers. I think they would like to buy routers that do more for them than send all their traffic to a tiny number of huge companies.
A date won't tell you that either.

i challenge the decision to not have explicit loops. the beauty of the original C construction was that it allowed for 3 events to occur inside each iteration: 1) normal execution of the body, 2) skip over the body but increment the counter, 3) exit the loop. When you have nested loops JS and AS3 let you name the outer loop and break out of it (thus re-introducing the FORTRAN GOTO which although that crank Dijkstra hated so much, occasionally is needed for this purpose). How are you going to stop a loop that might go on too long? sometimes you want to stop early. I don't see how you can stop the map().. or filter() operators. Just because early abort of a loop is not common doesn't mean it doesn't come up; it does inevitably so.

I usually use re2c or yacc with lex. Return some object from the parser for each token type and put it in a tree node.

With re2c the code is quite clean with inlined reg ex:s and logic in tagged comments.

These function chaining approaches gets out of hand for any non trivial problem you could have solved with just writing some loops anyway by hand.

How are you supposed to read code like this example with all these parentheses.

I wonder how the compiler optimizes the chains. You would want the char literals to be immediate literals in the machine code and I am not too sure the compiler are able to produce that from this. I also wonder about stack depth.
> But a justice system needs rules and standards of some kind.

Sure, but having to get a job (he has an MBA so he was planning to) and having the tax office take 70% of his wages until paid off (or allow him to pay off faster if he can) is not a light punishment while it does bring back some productivity. Jail time or over the top crazy punishments doesn't seem to help either and only costs society money. And then more money because the individual will most likely never recover after having spent some of his most productive years behind bars.

The sore point here is ofcourse that he is on a student Visa in which case I think the punishment of giving him a criminal record and sending him back to India is harsh punishment in itself.
Hmm, I can't find (in one minute searching, busy, sorry) someone winning such a case..

> People that need healthcare don't have a choice, people _do_ have a choice to relocate to a more sustainable city though[...]

People have a choice in relocating from New Orleans for less flood risk, but they don't have a choice to relocate from the US if their main problem with living there is is with the US's health care system?

I'm not going to argue that they should, but this example isn't exactly doing the work for you that you seem to think it's doing. If you're going to say "just move from New Orleans" someone else can say "just move to Canada".

You can argue about the relative difficulty of those things, but they're not inherently different, and there's certainly people for whom it's a lot easier to move countries than say people in abject poverty in New Orleans who can't imagine pulling off a move to another city in the US.

I come from Assembly and C, now working in Javascript. One of the reasons I made the move to JS is dynamic typing, getting rid of that administrative pain and now being able to create stuff much faster. Even in large JS apps I hardly ever have type related bugs at all, and when I have one I fix it mostly within minutes, don't need an entirely different language and ecosystem for that.

Now the JS fanboys discovered and moved (from Coffeescript to Babel ESxx) to Typescript they apparently think that they can write beautiful and bugfree software just because of static type checking! Let them please move to C++ or whatever statically typed language and shoot themselves in the foot by making all those mistakes that have nothing to do with static type checking at all! Oh, and of course hitting the wall because they are missing their precious 'any' keyword!

I totally agree that type checking for dynamic languages should be done in the IDE, tooling. But static typing in the dynamic language world is a hype at the moment, so we'll have to go through a wave static type checking frenzy. For my work I look at horrible code bases, perfectly typed and strictly formatted by tslint..

Wouldn't that be nice. Sadly, levees actually contribute to the problem due to several factors (IIRC 2 factors were the blocking of silt deposition and the lowering of ground water levels). The ground water levels are something that can be managed, the silt deposition is something you need to learn to live without.

Thing is, if the land wasn't sinking to begin with, exactly why were you considering levees in the first place? ;-)

Whatever the case may be, if you're building levees, you need to factor in the sink rate of the land around you, among the many factors. And you need to factor in the cost to maintain them indefinitely.

It's an expensive proposition; but by the simple fact that you're alive, standing there, and considering it already, chances are the ROI is worth it.
Not necessarily. There are certain things the core team wants to add to Ruby 3.0 and once all goals are reached, the next release will be called 3.0 (so we might possibly see Ruby 2.8, 2.9, 2.10 etc before).

Speaking of power banks, what would happen if you plugged this device directly to one?
The symmetric encryption functions are meant to be fast and efficient. Calls to the RNG are often not, which is why they're used for key generation but not for every encryption operation.

The nonce could be stored as an internal counter, but that would require the encryption operation to modify internal state, which would then require locking in order to be thread safe. That would introduce more complexity than requiring the caller to supply the nonce.

It does works but the quality control is questionable. You will often find poorly done and finished sewing or pieces which are cut approximately. They also often use the cheapest fabric they can get away with. It leads to clothes which really don't age well.

Where I agree with you is that a lot of brands which present themselves as mid range actually don't do much better and are just selling over-priced pieces.

I can't find a link to it, but I remember reading a discussion, that if you want icons/images for fixes known sizes and resolutions, it is better to have rasters than vectors: I think, mostly to do with scaling of line weights/widths, vector scaling of these often results in ungainly images while a raster of a given native resolution looks clearer/better more proportionate.

In the UK, some supermarkets do this. At my nearest supermarket, they can have very large discounts (maybe 75% or more) when an item's expiry date is today, and occasionally they do increase the discount over time like you suggested.

Each time they change the price, they put a sticker with the new price and barcode over the old one, on every discounted item. The employee time required to do this is non-trivial. I imagine that in some places, stores would decide that it's not worth the effort, since a discount might not increase sales enough to match the reduced profit per item (especially in affluent areas where customers can easily afford the full-price item, and maybe turn their noses up at items near their expiration date).
> It's just not my itch, so why should I scratch it?

It may not be your itch, but equally, Linux is not your OS. It's everybody's. Other people may happen to share the same sentiment about certain things. That's how things change, evolve, develop, improve.

You cannot be dismissive on everybody else's behalf.

> Apple decides what you want and then charges for it. We say, here, this is what I want, but feel free to make it what you want

First, who is 'we'? I still feel like you're trying to represent the feeling of a lot of people whose opinions may differ wildly from your own.

Aside from that, not everybody who uses Linux does so for this factor of openness and flexibility. There are plenty of Linux users who wish it would Just Work™ — but, again, their contributions to the discussion shouldn't be poo-pooed just because they don't have the time or resources to reimplement that with which they're familiar.

Some people can only contribute ideas, and that's just fine; it might turn out that only when some developer with some free time on his or her hands sees those ideas that they might then be implemented.
I think they were referring to saying that a product is "not bad after" it's expiration date.
The Use By date is one method people canuse to evaluate the risk.

Your salad example doesn't support your point, it counters it. We can't smell food poisoning, so suggesting that people just sniff the food to see if it's safe to eat is, by your own example something that isn't going to work.

Of course it isn't GNOME's fault if xterm has shonky cut-paste behaviour, but that really only serves to back up my point — don't blame the system if one (or a handful of) apps happen to behave contradictorily to its conventions.

I'd never heard of the projector problem, but given Linux's unreliable track record with multiple monitors, I'm not surprised people blame Linux. The problem as stated doesn't define whether or not the projector is actually at fault or not, so we can only really start diagnosis where intuition leads us.

It's a mistake to extrapolate too much about the "reference counting vs tracing GC" question from this one low-level driver benchmark. In fact reading their paper, they don't understand why Swift ARC traffic was so high.[1] They weren't allocating a lot of objects or copying. It's probably just an unoptimized use case or bug, not something fundamental in the memory management model. Swift is still quite young.

> Left and right are relative terms.

Not really. I mean, you can use them that way and it has some value for some uses, but you lose a lot of insight particularly into natural strategic rather than tactical political alignment.

The left favors the interests of the working class, the right favors the interest of the capitalist class. The “center-” of each does so while still favoring preserving some protection for the distinct interests of the opposing class; there is a natural strategic alignment across the right (and similarly the left), even if there might be a tactical alignment between, say, the left and center-right in a nation with an electoral system favoring duopoly and a somewhat right-leaning political culture.

This will not stop spreading terrorist content, obviously, but a malicious person can post something "terroristic" in the middle of the night and report forum owner, who would have 1 hour to delete such content...

> They don't care about punishment.

So what's the point then? Apparently the way it works now is not working and yes, that sounds awful, but what is being done about it if harsher punishment does not work? Even harsher punishment is what I am hearing 'on the other side of the pond'. When I had a restaurant in my village I got Americans all the time crying about what a pussy Obama was being soft on crime; most we got in were for the dead penalty and long prison time for even small infractions, against drugs wholesale (but not alcohol, one of the most dangerous and addictive drugs ofcourse!). Apparently they felt your pain as well, but the resolution seems akward; you would think better educatoin/rehabilitation instead of harsher punishment would be a more productive way of trying?

Ofcourse the issue is very difficult ; there are just really bad people out there and I do not think anyone has a solution for those. I am sorry to hear you seem to have 'many of them'; yet again, that makes me think there is something wrong that can be fixed if this is not the same in other places (other side of the pond...).

It's worth noting that almost all photo lineups include only the suspect and a bunch of photos they keep around. They generally aren't asking you to choose between a group of possible suspects; they're using the other photos to make sure that you're positive. You should try to make an effort, because even an incorrect identification provides some amount of deniability for the suspect.
In this post you confuse "use by" with "best before", even though the difference is clearly described in the linked article.

USE BY is product safety information. The risk increases after the use by date.

BEST BEFORE is product quality information. There's not much risk but the taste and nutrition will degrade over time.

No, I believe we differ in our perception of the role of Brian, and you seem to hold the position that bishops and other offended people held: that the creators of the movie identified brian with Jesus. I agree that if you wanted. you coudl interpret the film in this way. But it's not necessary. You will watch a completely different film then. You will see a Jesus who was ridiculous, cowardly, a bit stupid. But this makes no sense - Jesus is already in the movie and he is a completely different person.

There are many examples in literature and film where the creators focus on a personage close to a celebrity and make them the main character. But I guess the film is well done if we can both claim our positions and believe the other person is wrong.
