I've done many full Arch installs (but never antegros), but it's always the little things that I forget to do, then look into what's the new best way to do it, then fall down the ricing rabbit hole. Although it's fun it's also nice just to have a full system installed with no fuss. Ubuntu is fine for that, but I inevitably get the itch for something different. These spin offs let me cheat into a full setup desktop that works great from day one. No more 'I forgot to Auto Mount USB drives' or whatever. Plus it's fun to see how someone else sets it up and get some fresh ideas.

> I would theoretically be possible to write some software/reporting solution for every use of Excel but it wouldn't be an efficient use of resources.

One company I know which did this was called "Actuate"; that was years ago, a quick googling shows they were bought, now called "OpenText" (?) - also had something to do with MongoDB and something called BIRT (Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools)...

Last I had any involvement with them for a company I worked for, it was with their reporting suite of tools; the company I worked for became a VAR for them, so anytime the tool had a bug, we could quickly get them in an IRC chat (told you it was a while back) and get a patch within a few hours to a day or so, depending on the issue.

The reporting system was fairly unique for the time; a basic WYSIWYG drag and drop editor, ala VB - and for more complex designs, a VB-like object-oriented "reporting design" language. It was essentially what VB6 should have been on the OOP side of things, but geared entirely toward reporting.

Reports could pull data from any number of different sources, from flat ascii files, to excel documents, to database engines, ODBC, etc.

One of the last things I heard from them, at a seminar they put on that my company sent me to in Santa Monica, was this idea of reforming people using Excel spreadsheets. They called the whole sharing and copying of such spreadsheets, such that there was no one single authoritative source - a "spreadmart". So they wanted to do something about it.

They came up with some kind of Java-based solution with a custom front-end that looked exactly like Excel of the time, worked just like it - pivot tables, whole nine yards. But it interfaced to a backend using these "business logic" modules. The idea was all instances of the "spreadsheet" could see the same data via those modules, and those modules would be created by an IT staff (or DBA or something), and anything interacting with them in a company would have to go thru them - reports, gui, excel spreadsheets, etc. The idea was to present one cohesive view of the data for all users.

I don't know where it ended up - if they launched the product or not (we were being given a sneak peek at it at the seminar - it was a pretty nice demo, overall for the time).

A couple of weeks after coming back from the seminar, the company let me go (I'd worked for them for about 8 years - missed the whole "dot-com" thing because I believed in this company so much - lived and learned).
I might be a bit slow but what is this exactly? Is it something I could add to a data layer and get SQL semantics from?
> It's not like I want people to stay in abusive relationships, but the statistics around single parent homes in the US aren't great.

Apart from the chicken-and-egg problems, probably the bigger problem with that is that naturally the populations you are comparing are extremely biased. So, even if it is not an artifact of social policies that children in two-parent households do better than children of single parents, there is no reason to think that the number of parents is actually the determining factor.

It might just as well be that people who are bad at maintaining relationships are also bad at raising children, so forcing two of them to raise a child together will not give you any of the benefits that you get from people who are good at maintaining relationships raising a child, and you will instead just draw down the average outcomes of two-parent households.

> I'm sure there's all sorts of chicken-and-egg problems in the data

Pretty much that.

If society disadvantages people who build support structures that do not fit a very strict set of requirements, then you can't really draw any useful conclusions about whether those support structures are good based on observing that society, because it is very likely that negative effects you see are simply effects of the discriminatory policies, and thus are useless for justifying the discrimination.

> Trying to get the parents to want to stay together is a worthy effort, but when you've decided to make children I socially expect you to put their needs first

But trying to get people to stay together who don't want to is very unlikely to be putting the child's needs first. If you can make people want to stay together (and not due to outside pressure/threats), that might well be worth it, but if you can't, you probably will be hurting the child if you try to force them, in particular if they get to resent the child because it's what is keeping them in a relationship they don't want to be in.

You can not force people to like other people, and forcing people to be with people they dislike is a recipe for disaster. It's really as simple as that.

> I don't think it's unreasonable to encourage people to stay in an unhappy marriage rather than leaving their kids with a broken home, assuming the current home wouldn't be worse for the kids than the broken one.

How is an unhappy marriage not a broken home? Either the parents will be displaying their dislike for each other, or they have to constantly live a lie, constantly be dishonest to their child about their emotional state ... neither sounds like a nurturing environment for a child.
> Nobody thinks that women entering tech is an existential threat.

This paper from a few years ago compares various mathematical definitions of "hue" that have been popular over the past few decades.

https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/7833/f96c09a1201f0e7f54e0de...

CSS, having already standardized on Munsell hue circles (page 5) in the past, appears content to continue forward with them as the hue circle of choice for HWB. While I respect that you would prefer to see them use the NSL hue circle (pages 10-11), it appears that they are unlikely to do so at this time.

One bonus find here is the abstract for the cited Whitfield (1988) paper, where the paper's authors attempted to replicate the assertion that NSL is better than Munsell, and failed:

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/col.5080130210

The study reported here is a replication of experiments cited as support for this claim. Subjects were trained in the NCS using NCS training material and carried out colour‐identification tasks. For comparison, a further subject group was trained in the Munsell system and carried out identical tasks. The results indicated (a) a lower level of accuracy than previously reported for those subjects trained in the NCS and (b) little difference in performance between the NCS‐ and Munsell‐trained groups.
> OP is calling it a "call to violence" but that's hardly grounds for a substantive argument about the bounds of the concept of violence.

Then why is the OP drawing the line there? I'm not making these examples up to be cute. I'm pushing within the boundaries they've drawn to point out how radical the position as stated is.

> Note that you inserted the branch "dangerous or" with no explanation, increasing the likelihood of an irrelevant counterargument.

Given the fact that it didn't substantially change or anchor any of my arguments, what does it matter. Oh, unless... Perhaps ... Speech can effect people and maybe constitutes action upon them? Is that what your suggesting? Huh.

As a moderately technical user, I’ve run Arch VMs for school work for the past 3 years, but when it came time for me to dual boot my laptop, I really didn’t want to have to be as hands-on involved with a device I actually use frequently. I picked Manjaro instead so I can still enjoy the rolling release cycle but with an already working system out of the box.
Rather start with Concrete Mathematics (also by Knuth and friends). If you don’t like that book, you will probably hate TAOCP. It also covers the requisite mathematics that you’ll need for working through TAOCP.

If even the privacy advocates are not using their own advice, I doubt freemium is going to be over anytime soon.

My sleep doctor recommended Magnesium Glycinate. I also take calcium and EPA fish oil. Takes about 6 weeks for me to notice any difference, but that combo solved my 5 years of insomnia. Good luck. Go see a sleep doctor, as you may have apnea and you need that diagnosed quickly. The sleep doctor will also likely have you try Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which did absolutely nothing for me.. might have made my insomnia worse, but the studies indicate it’s effective for many. I also highly recommend not getting mixed up with any sleeping pills if you can avoid it. They’re not a long term solution.
nothing about the keyboard?
At least for Antergos its a super fast way to get a "real" Arch install.

Sure I know the process of creating partition tables, formatting drives, bootstrapping wireless and what not, setting up system time, adding a bunch of services I want, etc. But for anyone that likes the Arch release process (and thus isn't interested in Manjaro) and AUR it was a place to point them without the massive learning curve because nowadays it generally just works.
I know the keyboard is garbage but I always get AppleCare and treat my machines very well but if I got a 2019 model with the butterfly keyboard I’d be even more paranoid about dust and foreign particulates getting under the keys. I’m still most productive on OSX but that is changing as the Linux ecosystem gets better and better.

If they would just go back to the old pricing model and bring back a sane robust keyboard people would be so much happier.

Odds are it was some random person at an agency or in marketing, or contracted to do some little thing ... and either didn't think about the issue or didn't care to.

Frankly I'm surprised this kind of stuff doesn't happen more often.

Edit: And I'm speaking from experience. Large companies are not as specifically coordinated as people sometimes ascribe them to be. And nobody in marketing or any other dept. wants to deal with legal review of anything if they can avoid it.

> Corporations only paid 7.6% of the tax take -- the lowest share since at least 1960, according to the IRS data

That sounds low but it's not far out of line of the rest of the OECD. The mean is around 9%. Sweden is about 6%. The two members above 20% (or anywhere near it) are Chile and Mexico.

Corporate income tax is kind of a mess to implement and enforce.
That'd be the common straw man.

Cameras can't stop people from running red lights.

In most jurisdictions that use them, they don't even count as moving violations for insurance or licensing purposes. The idea is to discourage the crime. There are other ways to discourage the crime, but the cameras seem to have the intended effect.

But pretending that removing them is tantamount to santioning the crime is a little ridiculous.

It's desirable when the alternative is those businesses reinvesting in the business and payroll. Which is easy to do by allowing them to deduct salary up to a certain amount.
And speaking of Putin's passport: Russian international passports usually have the patronymic spelled only in the Cyrillic name, the international name is just First Last. So most likely Putin's passport says "Vladimir Putin" and "Владимир Владимирович Путин". I think it's the best decision - nothing good is going to come out from forcing patronymics on people who cannot even read Russian and exposing your citizens to all potential fuckups caused by name confusion.

> Large amounts of data from normal driving are probably good for training lane keeping, but not that useful for handling emergency situations.

The supposition I've seen is that they have models running locally to extract the most 'surprising' situations (for example, situations where the driver's inputs and the self-driving algorithm's differ substantially, or where other vehicles do not behave as expected) to send back to the mothership to train on. This would do a ton to improve their ability to deploy actual self driving in the future, and is far more than just 'normal driving' or 'lane keeping'.
It's not processable by third parties? If you tweet that you met me at a conference and then someone else tweets that you saw me at the airport, etc. now people can't use that to infer my location and travel patterns? You're just drawing the line conveniently where you can violate my privacy while simultaneously claiming the higher ground.

I hope your friends treat you with the fear that they should considering you seem to believe that their private information is not "processable by third parties" and therefore probably treat it with no discretion whatsoever.

I still don’t understand corporate income taxes. These are just pass through entities. All the money goes to actual people which are a lot easier to tax than a corporation. I think it’s such a waste of human capital having corporations incentivized to spend on armies of lawyers and accountants trying to come up with some baroque legal construction to avoid taxes. Maybe I am ignorant about tax law but people seem a lot harder to “invert” to cheaper tax jurisdictions no matter how rich they are.

I would even go as far as saying that payroll taxes are the same. Taxes hidden from the general public with weird incentives that break stuff in unexpected ways. We would be better served with more income, property or sales/vat taxes.

Which is great. But also a very recent development. Before that, they were mostly a driving force behind the persecution.

> Linking religion to that is another distortion of the truth.

So, you are claiming that religions did not contribute significantly to the persecution of homosexuals in many parts of the world, neither in the recent past, nor right now, and that the resistance against equal rights for homosexuals is not significantly coming from religions?
Ah, you're proposing a solution for Meltdown rather than Spectre. The difference is that with Meltdown there is speculative access to memory that isn't even mapped to the original process.

Memory encryption might work as a way to solve that, but we already know how to solve that -- do what AMD and others have been doing the whole time and don't continue speculative execution through a page fault.
Your inflammatory comments suggest something different, unfortunately.
With WSL, you might as well run Windows and do all Linux development there as well.

I have been using antergos for over 4 years, having dual booted it on with windows on 3 different computers. I always liked the fact that it took just 15-20 minutes for me to start working.

Arch purists may scoff on these spin offs, but they miss the point. The appeal was that even though I know how to set up arch on my own, it takes about 2 hours or so. Setting up nvidia was also a pain. With antergos, you can just sit back, and get a nice working system quickly.

Will definitely miss it
