None of this changes the grandparents analysis that drug crimes are easy to prove vs the countefactual “but for” argument about satellites.

Regardless of drug laws’ justice, proving things about them are fairly easy. Proving things about what happened outside the atmosphere is hard.
Having to stage changes across multiple repos, and minimize dependencies between them, can definitely create more work up front. The point is that it lessens the recurring cost (not just across time but across many developers) of having those spurious dependencies in the code forever. Code spends more time being maintained than being written, so it's the recurring cost that dominates long-term productivity.

> Facebook wouldn't have a snowflakes chance in hell of demonstrating that even the most technically include user, or even a regular lawyer, fully understands what their agreeing to.

You are indeed correct. Which is why GDPR, even with all of its faults, is a step in the right direction. GDPR requires what I call “informed(ish) consent(ish).” In the US a company just needs a record of you clicking “I accept” and you’re on the hook. Believe it or not this is a pretty big improvement from the recent past when they could just burry a clause in their T&C’s that said by simply being on the site you agreed to them. I’m pretty sure we have Dell & their shady software license (that you were forced to agree to before you could even read) to thank for that.

Maybe though I figure they must be buying back to keep the price above 99c. My hypothesis is they are burning through the cash but not showing it as if they showed the cash going 2bn, 1.5bn... there'd be a bank run of people trying to get out before it was gone.

> How? Which political party or independents promote a policy to reduce police powers?

Policing is mostly local, so I think this is an area where there's a real chance to make things better. National politics are hopelessly tribal in the US, but city/county level politics are much less so. Go to city council meetings. Pay attention, and complain if they try to buy leftover military hardware like a BearCat[1]. Vote for and talk to your councillors. Organize a petition to de-militarize your local police force.

New York City has tons of these too; they’re just generally not well-advertised since they many of them cater to a specific market. There are a few button stores in New York, mostly in the Garment District, but also on the upper east side. There are stores selling all kinds of obscure art supplies, kitchen equipment, and lab gear too.

To be fair, I’m not sure exactly where you’d buy a currywurst cushion, but there’s a shop selling bones and stuff near NYU, if you someday decide that your living in room needs more of a Natural History Museum vibe.

A well written guide for introducing some of the power of Vim to a new user.

One thing I'd suggest for the author, based on a quote from the article - "Invest your time to learn new skills" - Try and invest some time to learn touch typing.

I worked as a developer for years thinking that it wasn't worth the effort, but after taking a couple of weeks to learn, I never looked back. My productivity, particularly with Vim has jumped leaps and bounds.

>https://www.cleanenergywire.org/news/german-households-and-i....

Yes, energy prices in Germany are high for private households, as the costs for the transition are put only on private consumers and small businesses while large industries pay none of it. This is rightfully critisized by many. What is the relevance for the discussion here?

> Regarding capacity factor: http://www.nmppenergy.org/feature/capacity_factor

Yes, and?

This article actually confirms the numbers I named, with almost 40% reneweables in 2017. So you show that your claim about my numbers is wrong. Thanks.

The thing is, memorization itself should -not- be the primary skill of a sysadmin.

A sysadmin should know how to troubleshoot, how to use tools, and (more importantly) how to learn how to use the tools.

I don't want to discount the value of someone who still remembers how to handle seemingly arcane tasks like iptables. Experience has its weight in gold, and memory definitely contributes to its value, but there's more to it than that. It is the capacity and willingness to learn in any situation, however, where a talented sysadmin really shines.

Yes, having your PC compromised is bad but it would be even worse if the keys can be stolen and used elsewhere, it just rises the bar significantly for getting persistent access (re-establishment without the token is really hard) in my opinion.

If Google and other companies did this, the employees ought to unionize. Normally I am not in favor of that, but Google et al. were colluding to gain an unfair advantage on their side; that invited the same on the labor side. Companies colluding to keep wages low means workers ought to collude to make them higher and counterbalance the companies.
Side note: blog posts and news articles that don't display the date are very irritating.

The Coming Technological Cold War
When interviewing for a job at a company making pressure sensors primarily for the oil industry, I got a look at their testing rooms. The sensors were usually placed deep in some well or at the bottom of the ocean, so had to function for ages without maintenance. Switching out a faulty sensor is either very expensive or impossible.

The final testing room had a window with a couch and table in the adjacent room. The interviewer said most customers would have a representative fly over to overlook the final tests in person before accepting the sensors.

That depends on your deployment model. Google is live at head, with no support for past releases. In the web world this is reasonable: they control the servers and thus can force releases. I don't work in that world though, there are times where I have to support customers on older releases who refuse to upgrade (when the customer is spending millions of dollars per year you can't ignore their rules no matter who stupid you think they are). Thus I need to think about those factors anyway.

> you have misunderstood how the right of politics works

lol. You know nothing of my politics, education, or my history over the last 50 odd years.

Edit: For the sake of clarity: In the late 1980s and 1990s, Thatcher - on the right of politics - often spoke in favour of massive global action on climate change, not just that UN speech. Trying to make the issue distinct from CFCs that she also spoke out against is stretching it.

> It remains opaque whether the costs of dealing with that change are higher than preventing that change

No, it really doesn't, unless you are seeking a precise figure in pounds, shillings and pence. We didn't have that for ozone either. Or the clean air acts, or mass public clean water and sewerage. Nor do we have figures for the respiratory diseases from internal combustion and other pollution, and the host of other externalities.

There's little substantive difference between the CFC issue and climate change other than the scale and the politicians involved. It's clear that those currently in power are doing far worse than a generation ago, whether left, right or centre.
To be clear: I'm not a teacher. I've been in software for 30 years.

Lots of people my age in the biz don't have CS or MIS degrees. Most of the degrees back then were lagging real-world tech in a huge way, so we mostly taught ourselves. Our degrees are in things like physics, or math, or engineering, or political science, or (like me) literature & creative writing.

Specialization is for insects. ;)
I rarely try and remember much more than there being a thing that does a thing, and then skim the reference to get the syntax correct when I need it. Things go in if I am using them regularly and go away again when I don't and I don't worry about it or think that I have forgotten how to do a thing. I also know that learning something again when it has disappeared almost completely, often leads to a deeper understanding of the thing, possibly because new connections have to be made before what is left of the original network gets lit up again, so even complete bewilderment at something I used to do regularly doesn't faze me all that much, I just get back on it in the knowledge that I will discover things I missed the first time round.
A Western Revival
If I actually thought that would work, I’d be in favour of restricting access. GM in general (not just CRISPR) is clearly powerful enough to be a useful military tech if it were developed in that way.

Tips Sought to Shorten Sleep Inertia
I would love to increase my early morning (~5AM to 7AM) productivity. However, my thinking is relatively sluggish in the hour up to two post waking up. Do you have any tips on how to shorten that period of natural sleep inertia that occurs when you wake up early? To let you know, I currently take a cold shower and drink bulletproof coffee.
A quick search for 'Noel Brown unep director' will resolve any doubts, and incidentally also provides lots more information on him and other commentary he's provided over the decades.
I found it a bit puzzling too. Does someone actually bother memorizing iptables syntax? Sure, if you use it daily for a long time, some of it will stick, but it seems completely pointless to waste time explicitly learning it.

I find it's better to save my brain power for learning things like what I need to take into account when configuring a database for example, or what variables affect network performance and what options I have for tuning, etc.

When I reach for tools to solve problems, the most I usually remember is "I can use X to solve this class of problems" and the how is available from the manual or with a Google search.
A lot of these shops also have excellent customer service.

Those are just the protocols. They should also list the client application they're forking as well. What they're doing is like forking nginx selling you a webserver, then when people ask what it's based on they reply with 'http(s)'.

The law specifically seeks to prevent these kinds of outcomes by giving the parties involved leeway in how they do their jobs. You need an asshole cop, a prosecutor looking to pad their performance stats, a judge that doesn't care and a lawyer not doing their job in order for someone to go to jail on a possession charge and in the rare event that does happen when the miscarriage is pointed out it can usually be corrected by downgrading the offense after the fact. At least four people need to do their jobs not only wrong but do them wrong in a specific way in order for someone to go to jail over drug possession.

Ultimately, atm, the US is about as far from conflict with a technologically capable adversary as you could hope for.

Despite rivolrous rhetoric, china-US interests mostly aren't opposed. Russia & the US play spy games, possibly election meddling.., but it's still fairly small scale. Maintaining a small edge in these technologies is, currently, as unimportant as it's likely to be.

That could change. Stakes could rise. This is the peacetime list/policy. What happens if & when the risk of war grows.

This list hints at the kind of cost we will pay for escalating risk of major conflict. New discoveries in computer science, biology, material science, manufacturing or anything with obvious breakthrough potential could become restricted, secretive, balkanized, and ultimately limited.
It could be handy to write down some of this stuff you don't do often in a big org file (or plain text) for later reference. I find that some commands for irssi (tui irc client) are hard to remember, so I started writing a local irssiguide.txt that I look at or add to sometimes. I tend to add a new server or channel to autojoin right away, so then if I have a new thing to add 6 months later I can't recall the exact syntax.
I've been meaning to follow my own advice in other areas. Taking notes as you learn things so that you can relearn them later, or optionally show them to a friend, seems very useful. I also sometimes get stuck on something and end up giving up and forgetting what the problem was, meaning coming back to it later is that much harder. I'd like to get into the habit of writing down problems I have as well. e.g. figuring out how to mount the storage of an android phone easily
I don't think it is. First, a correction, Python predates Nix by 12 years, not decades, the first experimentation with what would later be named Nix was published in 2003 by Eelco Dolstra[1]; the 2004 paper[2] refers to it specifically as Nix. However, we aren't comparing Nix (language) to Python, we're comparing Nix (package manager) to easy_install and more recently pip, released in 2004 and 2011 respectively. It's 2019 now, and I don't think it's longer unreasonable to expect what Nix is capable of, of your package manager.

> Kotodama (言霊; “word spirit”) is the idea that words have an almost magical power to alter physical reality. Through its pervasive impact on society, including its influence on superstitions and social etiquette, traditional poetry and modern pop songs, the word kotodama has, in a way, provided proof of its own concept.

The concept of an immanent and ineffable power of words appear in other religions and cultures.

In Judaism/Christinaity (specifically, in the Book of Genesis), God speaks the universe into existence. God speaks, and it was -- the words becomes manifest reality.

There are echoes of this Indian philosophy. I don't remember where I read it, but there are some Hindu (or Buddhist) texts that refers to "Brahma" speaking words, and the universe coming into being.
