> They got lucky, IE6 in that sense was ready to die, and they basically declared mutiny with good cause.

Ok, and if IE6 had not been ready to die, what kind of catastrophe would have ensued?

> Can you imagine any other scenario where insisting your idea is correct above every alternative, to the extent you can bypass the organisation and enforce your idea, could be utterly catastrophic? These developers in particular set up a system to subvert their own company.

I can imagine catastrophes. But they're mostly the sorts of catastrophes that are bad for an organization, but great for a civilization.

> This story with Youtube and IE6 is romantic. It's not realistic or aspirational. Besides which, we would not hear of it if the attempt failed.

Something we don't hear about if it fails, but produces a great social benefit if it succeeds seems like exactly the sort of thing we should be doing.

Arguably they don't have the powers they _do_ actually have. The constitution is very vague on the role of the court.
You should really, really look at how a bank actually works. You're in for a big surprise!

What the hell? You are reading so much into a single sentence and skipping the entire context surrounding it. According to the article the moon landing was just a political stunt that did not result in any progress toward space exploration. In fact it actually marks the end of human space travel. The fact that only a single country went to the moon is not impressive. It is damning. Space has become uninteresting and no one wants to go there.

Most "whole wheat" flour is literally the same refined flour from the same vat, but with some bran (fiber) and germ (nutrients) mixed back in. This could happen at the refinery shortly after refining, or weeks to months later using bran and germ sourced from a warehouse somewhere. Very unpredictable and not indicated anywhere on the label.

What seems consistent is that both diets high in whole grains and high-fiber diets in general have some heart health benefits. My guess is that refined+enriched flour in a high-fiber meal is not much, if any, worse than whole flour in a medium- or low-fiber meal. Those pastries and chips between meals, on the other hand...
Are you unable to walk around your neighborhood in SV, Seattle and other places?

I live on Long Island (not NYC) but it's not hard to find places to walk around in safety. I put in 3-5 miles (roughly 6,000 - 10,000 steps going by Google) a day just aimlessly walking side streets for general exercise and clearing my mind.

When I visited SV it didn't seem too bad downtown. Can't speak for the other places though.

But if you want to put in the steps, you just need ground to walk on and preferably not be constantly dealing with highways (that would really suck).
You can't steer with that though. The linked breaks are mostly for traction control and to stop you disturbing the chassis too much.

[edit] got called on the "can't steer" part - It still isn't your steering, but it changes the chassis load and dynamics in a way that lets you modify the way you steer... quite different than the OP brake + accel causing a steering input from the back end, not front end. But lots of things are different 2 wheel vs. 4 anyway.
I hear Facebook uses Mercurial because Git doesn't have the scale they need.
You know they're all open-source, right? I understand and identify with your concerns - I've railed against systemd enough myself - but they all work (fairly) well and have made management/administration of systems cleaner and easier. I think that's why Red Hat's pushing them.
WeWork is also pushing a WeLive concept that is essentially this. Anecdotally, I'm aware of a more grassroots-style of living in San Francisco wherein groups of 12-60 people live as a community in older, larger buildings (The Red Vic, Negev, Campus Coliving). It's not for everyone but certainly fills a niche.
That’s the point though, right?

There is no one “Agile Methodology”. It’s meant to be a communication protocol you grow within your organisation based on the principals outlined in the manifesto.
I think it's unacceptable for automation to produce a worse result than a human in the same situation, with the same information. i.e. it's not acceptable for automation to fail danger, it must fail safe, including even if all it can do is give up (disconnects, warning tone, hands control over to the human driver).

I think it's reasonable, in the narrow case where primary control is asserted and competency is claimed to be as good or better than a human, to hold automation accountable the same as a human. And in this case, if this driver acted the way autopilot did based on the same available information, we would say the driver committed suicide or was somehow incompetent.

I see this as possibly a case of automation committing involuntary manslaughter (unintentional homicide from criminally negligent or reckless conduct).
Many <2015 titles still look modern or even better than popular recent games.
You say you installed Manjaro, that probably explains your battery woes. Pop!_OS does alot good battery optimisation, I generally wouldn't recommend getting a System76 laptop if you don't like it out of the box.
I think a lot of people miss out on this when talking about their TDEE. Folks in some countries are more active as part of their routine, outside of planned exercises. I noticed this a lot when I traveled, too. I was walking everywhere, all the time. As were the locals.
From the Verge article, it doesn't sound definitive, but instead speculative.

> After that, it sounds like Rocket League will no longer be available on Valve’s competing Steam store...

> Here’s the bit that makes it sound like Rocket League’s days on Steam are numbered (bolding ours):

While you're likely right, I haven't seen an official press release that say's it going to be pulled from steam, just that it would only continue to be supported. It's not explicitly called out, so it's left to people to speculate.

My interpretation is Epics PR team purposefully did not explicitly say one way or the other as to Rocket Leagues fate on Steam to

1. Gauge the communities reaction.

2. Allow Epic the ability to make the decision further down the line, including reversing course on the internal decision.
The tricky part about that is that you risk making a pay-to-win sport, which is very boring.
Hafa adai!
I work on embedded systems in the automotive industry and unfortunately most companies are still using old enterprise software for source control and task management. We are using PTC Integrity for the project that I am on, but another project in the company has been using git/bitbucket/jira, so I'm hoping that they we can adopt that at some point.

The subject is well-trodden, there's not much to debate. Python is not good at threading, but works well in multiprocessing situations. Netflix is using it in the later situation, and not the former. Async is unlikely to be a use case either.
It looks to me like you could register any domain starting with "localhost" (eg. localhostevil.com) and it would work.

This doesn't sound quite as scary as the title. You still have to do one of these things that will all be nearly impossible in general. It's not like you can just set up a website and wait for victims to visit it.

- Find a Subdomain Takeover vulnerability on a Dell site.

- Make the request from a local program.

- DNS Hijack the victim.
Slapping ubuntu on an OEM laptop gets you absolutely no support from the vendor. If you're OK with that, more power to you if you want to go that route.

System76 does much more than just pre-install the OS. The below comment is from a system76 developer:

https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2019/04/system76-launch-pop-os-1...

"System76 laptops aren't rebranded. Clevo is a manufacturer of standardized chassis models for OEMs who lack the sales figures to warrant high volume orders. The individual OEMs get to benefit from lower prices because every OEM is pitching in together to allow Clevo to design and commit high volume orders of chassis on their behalf.

Using a Clevo chassis does not make your laptop a rebrand, in much the same way that a Gigabyte motherboard or Vivo desktop case does not automatically make your custom-built PC a rebranded Gigabyte/Vivo desktop. They manufacture the chassis (incl. battery and motherboard), and then distribute these to OEMs, who then select the components to assemble the chassis with. This also has the benefit of giving the customer a highly serviceable laptop.

This really isn't all that different from what Apple, Dell, Lenovo, HP, etc., are all doing. Many of them are even getting their laptops manufactured in the nearby vicinity of Clevo in a similar fashion. They're just a step closer to the designing stage of their chassis models, because they are able to purchase high volume orders by themselves. They still often outsource firmware development to third parties, rather than writing their own firmware for the hardware they sell.

In comparison to other Clevo-based sellers, System76 also goes the extra mile to select Linux-compatible components during assembly, writes patches to fix drivers in Linux for the hardware selected, flashes custom firmware on them, and are now even driving the process of writing open source firmware for them. You're not going to find Clevo writing open source firmware."
See, this is why we have regulation.
I’m not sure of the relative timing but the Google policy of “we support the last two major releases of the main browsers” also really helped.

As a web developer at the time, I could put that in my proposals, saying “it’s the standard Google browser support policy”. At which point clients signed off on not needing legacy browser support.

>I’m a decent stick shift driver and I can’t imagine dealing with four pedals.

Seems easy actually. These cars don't really have four pedals. Coulthard's had a clutch pedal but by this point (and to this day) F1 cars only use the clutch to start. So you're only using the extra brake pedal under acceleration and they are already using the left-foot for braking anyway. All you have to do is just change the left foot from one brake to the other after braking into the corner, it's not like heel-and-toe where you are actually pressing three pedals at once.
That looks like a cafeteria style restaurant. We have lots of those. e.g. Boston Market:

A food court is different. There are a bunch of vendors surrounding a common eating area. Sadly because it’s America, it’s the same 10 fast food or fast food like vendors in every food court, mostly. You might see more variety in an airport.

While I like the concept in an abstract sense, I'm having trouble coming up with a good use for blockchain in the business world. Maybe it could be useful for maintaining healthcare records? The problem as I see it is most enterprise environments require some sort of governmental control/auditing/certification (ie. HIPAA, SOX, etc.) and I don't think those organizations are forward thinking enough to allow blockchain technologies just yet.
All due respect, it seems you completely misunderstood the baker case. I’m very much a supporter of the LGBTQ community, but that particular case was decided correctly. The couple was not refused service outright. The owner only refused a custom cake with imagery that went against his personal beliefs.

Analogous, if a Jewish baker refused to serve a Nazi, that would be wrong. But the Jewish baker should not be forced to draw swastikas on a Nazi-themed cake.

Had the court case gone the other way, it would have set a dangerous precedent.
For my personal elucidation, why are you volunteering your time for what is essentially a corporate event?

Don't you wonder why the IOC or the LA organising committee aren't volunteers?
Basic google tells me that your upper range (5 miles) is still only around 10k steps. You’ll need to walk another 60-70% more to achieve what they do, which is where much of the effort can be in.
Palliative care is an admission that chemo won't help and pretty much all options have been tried. At that point one can sit back and die, or try something.
> WiFi finally seems to be working reliably

I got the XPS15 and installed Ubuntu 18.04 (best choice of laptop I could find that had an i9 8950hk, although only Windows is officially supported).

I had heard it was best to replace the Killer WiFi with an Intel mini card. However the Killer WiFi has been rock solid for me with Ubuntu (I have read that Windows has more problems with Killer WiFi than Linux!).

Regular Linux BIOS updates from Dell from within Ubuntu 18.04 - I'm a happy customer.

Edit: comment from elsewhere in this thread: "only three years ago I had to replace the default wireless card in my Dell XPS 13 because the broadcom one was flaky as hell in Linux"
We're working on a small browser extension for static ipfs websites where this comes in handy. I'll ping to let you know how it goes.
Push it too agressively and Epic will risk alienating their core customer group: PC Gamers.

> People should try to make design decisions and choose tools for the scale they're actually at. Not the scale they hope to be at some day.

Would you accept that there is at least some sort of movement of engineers from these large companies to startups? I would argue the choice is made on what people are used to and familiar with, as opposed to "let's signal what scale we want to be at in our choice of tools"
I think you've just explained why the olympics has a better business model than a Government agency that's charged with atmospheric research and space exploration, however, the parent comment is about how it seems like a waste to put effort into the olympics that could be invested in expanding the frontiers of our knowledge.

I have used System76 systems and I have to say I didn't enjoy the experience. Dell has Project Sputnik although when I tried it out, the OEM Ubuntu OS (a fork of Ubuntu) didn't factory reset correctly wiping out the ability to recognize the GPU.

Résumé/CV: Looking for a Summer Gig near warm surfing water: Not looking for a permanent job (am a tenured full professor at a university in the mid-west). I get summers off. Have studied AI via Andrew Ng's MOOC. The goal is to work with an AI team and publish peer-reviewed journal papers. I don't need pay. Preference will be given to offers involving: "enough room to lay my sleeping bag plus access to a kitchen & bathroom -- near the beach in SoCal or Florida or some such". 46 years old, born in India, U.S. citizen, language learner (basic Spanish, basic French, proficient Hindi), good cook, surfer, very active and into fitness. TEDx speaker. One of my interests would be: "teaching" AI to a non-STEM audience.

The International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has a 1990 report that uses NOAA data from 1974. It shows that Arctic sea ice is cyclical, as it's always been, and had a peak in 1979. SO NOAA was measuring sea ice extent at least as far back as 1974.

https://web.archive.org/web/20120428072521/https://www.ipcc....

Also, the third graph on page 202 shows that the Earth was MUCH warmer a thousand years ago than it is now, despite far less CO2. This isn't particularly surprising since carbon dioxide levels track global temperature - not the other way around - as the ice core data going back 800 000 years shows.

The 1985 Department of Energy report Projecting the Climatic Effects of Increasing Carbon Dioxide uses data going back to 1925 that shows, surprise, that Arctic sea ice is normal, cyclical and has nothing to do with CO2 levels.

My favorite bit:

I am frightfully sorry about the printers’ prurience! Do please, when you are correcting proofs, replace f— by fucking in full; and David Bland, our production manager, will get in touch with the printers personally to make sure that nothing goes wrong.

Nothing better than an editor who literally gives a fuck!

The letter reminded me of David Lodge's afterword to "Ginger, You're Barmy". When it was first published in 1962, he had to bowdlerize the swear words that were copious in a novel set in the army. A second edition was published later, when the word in question was deemed printable, and initially Lodge went through his manuscript restoring "fuck" after "fuck", until he finally thought better of the idea and left the manuscript in the initially published form.
But then the engineer in you says "I'll objectively choose the best hardware", and you end up with another lenovo. I really think it is the Windows Wizard Warriors that complain about bloatware, I always wipe it and start with a fresh install.
> A 30% cut for what was effectively a hosting and payments processing service

> Multiple launchers (and fewer features) is annoying

You can't claim steam is just a glorified CDN and payment processor in one breath and then complain about the lack of features in other launchers/platforms in the next.

I agree that 30% was steep, but steam provides both devs and consumers a lot of features that everyone now takes for granted (like cloud saves, household licensing, workshop mod frameworks, friends and chat, and much more). The games that move to epic are either going to have to implement these features themselves, depend on epic to provide a framework for it (sentiment seems to be "don't hold your breath", or release without them.
