thats a bit of a stretch, ive had systems running ancient unpatched OS with no AV at all and still had no infections with standard use, maybe its the case if youre regularly trawling dodgy porn and torrent sites but doubtful that youd pick up much from regular browsing and usage let alone just connecting it to the internet for a few days

thanks for the reply, you inspired me to grab Ubuntu 18.04, put it on a usb key and boot my 5530, but alas it doesn't recognize the NVMe disk. There's a single line from dmesg about remmapping a NVMe disk, but Nothing on fdisk -l.

What version of Ubuntu are you running? Is it produced by Dell or the generic release?

edit nevermind I found a fix: in the BIOS (F2 while booting), I needed to set System Config -> SATA Operation -> AHCI. With that, the nvme is found just fine.
Nobody stepped up to maintain the project, not even Red Hat. Some people have offered help, and I have send out a few GitHub invitations to people that offered, but no takers.

I assume people offering to help only wanted to see their own contributions merged.

I shouldn't be surprised people here take positions while not having been involved in the project or know the whole history.

In my opinion, stopping the project was the only sensible thing to do at this point. Red Hat replacing the tool with one of their own (which I wholeheartedly disagree with for various reasons) created a dead-end. It's the final blow to a dying project.

Wrt. Python 3 support, I simply did it because it was so easy to do, not because I thought this would be a game-changer. But hey, please do read into whatever fits your narrative :-)

Lists, logs, writing, post-its, Todo lists etcetcetc.

I tend to forget stuff even while I'm doing it, so it helps a million if what I'm doing is written on a Post-It right in front of me.

Also, to keep track of tasks, problems, todos etc, I have a huge text file that is bound to the ctrl-` keybinding (autohotkey script opens a file in sublime text).

As programmers, we often discount the human element in the social context. It turns out that funerals are a very widespread and in some people's opinions a very necessary part of life.

Unfortunately, many of these practices change awfully slowly and arguing with people over their rites and traditions is a pointless (and somewhat insensitive) exercise.

You'll find on the African continent that graveyards are ridiculously large and elaborate (esp. in Southern Africa). My only guess is that these things improve with better education and in turn, that whole process is inevitably slow.

I can't say much for the US, but certainly it has the resources to be more innovative.
I'm not advocating that there is not police brutality nor abusive usage of force when dealing with situations. There definitely is and is unlikely to change in the perceivable future.

It seems to me that the best course of action when being approached by law enforcement is to immediately go into SUPER compliant state and SUPER static state. Meaning, don't do any action unless told so by the law officer. Don't move around like you normally would, anything you assume to be benign might not be as far as they are concerned, be patient, let it unfold as fast and as slow as they so choose.
If their actions were wrong then courts are the route, but LATER, once you are out of the predicament.

Vests are designed to be worn with/under some sort of outer jacket to provide an extra layer of insulation, without adding an extra 'layer' of sleeves that will just be too bulky or hinder mobility.

Another useful aspect is that they pack up a lot smaller and are thus easier to shove into the bottom of bag when you're not wearing them.

Alright, here's the timeline

EU is not happy that American tech companies aren't paying enough in revenue to the state. Furthermore, they are also helping spread "fake news" that are helping topple the people in power and electing the opposition parties. "Fake", of course, are news that doesn't work towards the goals of the people in charge.

American tech companies are using legal structures and rules that are completely legal in the EU and help move revenue to places with minimal withholding. Of course, many other businesses use the same rules, including ones that are backing the people in power. So, the EU does not want to reform the rules where big corps can get out of paying their fair share, but instead institutes GDPR and Copyright reform.

Both rules are designed to beat American tech companies into compliance with the people in charge. Or else, endless investigations and billion dollar fines follow. This is achieved under the guise of "privacy" (oh, the privacy of a cookie banner) and "author rights" (upload filters).

This way the EU govts achieve their goal of censoring the information flow on the big platforms, all the while raising additional revenue that eventually can be used to fund overpriced government tender contracts that are awarded to well-connected companies.

In other words, a shakedown.

How's that for information-to-inflammation ratio?
> No - I think having a pro-economic growth bias would be helpful, [...]

I like how that sets the bar higher for extraordinary claims and extraordinary proof. Although honestly, I'll always be skeptical about extrapolation and predicting the future more than a few cycles out.

> If there is any such bias among climate scientists [...]

I agree. It seems fair to ask who goes into and gets accepted as a PhD in that field. It's pretty easy to imagine there could be a selection bias, and "science advances one funeral at a time".
I want no ads, but apparently it's impossible to build a business these days without also trying to manipulate me into buying random other stuff. If I can't go around them, I'd still prefer to ignore generic ads rather than targeted ones. It's easier to do and less creepy from their side.
I've always been bad at doing hand calculations (probably my adhd); In my first course of calculus I asked my professor if he would still give me points on problems where the final answers didn't match because of calculations errors but the overall reasoning was sound.

He said "well... ok, standards have gone down over the years", then he looked in the amphitheater where he had a section of chairs that had missing desks and finally said: " though I really shouldn't, because you're all engineers, and just look what engineers that make "small" errors in calculations" accomplish".

Probably I could not have become an engineer 100 years ago.
My blog is mostly just tech demos or tutorials with dry writing. I do think about the very deep unmet potential for technology often.

> Some requests totally are identify-able though, for example if the user goes on to click one of our ads, buy something, and give us their postal address. In the eyes of the law, we have broken the rules there by re-identifying previously anonymous data.

You are either compliant or not. Claiming that you are 90% GDPR compliant still makes you non-compliant.

> While I think Google is technically in the right here,

No, they are not technically right, because even being 99% right makes you 1% wrong, which in case of Google would affect 70M people.

> they're gonna loose big time because they're a foreign company and don't have much love with the public.

The love of the public doesn't have any legal influence, and being a foreign company doesn't mean that company can play by it's own or their home country rules.

By the same logic, one could argue that Volkswagen, Deutsche Bank and Monsanto got fined hefty only because they are foreign companies, and that they would be either not fined, or fined much less if they were US based. Oh, wait ...
The State of Product Led Experience
I agree that our perspectives are different.

I see this from the perspective of someone who wants to see developers get paid. Safely and securely, in a way that makes it easy for them to get paid the next time too.

I'm also looking at this from the angle of "What non-nefarious reasons would GitHub have for making these decisions?". One of the first that sprang to mind is credit card security, which touches on quite a few issues at once.

Further, my experience is that most of the time decisions that can be interpreted as being done for nefarious reasons were rarely actually made that way. I am willing to extend the HN-guideline principle of charity to GitHub, especially because I can see clear, real, valid reasons for standing up their own service over a partnership with a third-party service. I understand that some people will find these unconvincing or decide they are just a ploy.

I haven't even touched on AML or KYC issues!

You are definitely right about the importance of infrastructure made entirely of open source software. My perspective is, in essence, that there are other features that matter that may not fully live in code.
Pro-Tip: when you get a medication, make sure you're prepared to be doing something productive after you take it, otherwise you may end up browsing social media with a sense of focus like never before.

Also, invest time in learning how to stay hydrated. I got terrible dry mouth when I took adderall.

Also also, set alarms during productivity time to get up and walk around otherwise you will forget. For me, this caused me to get swelling in my lower legs a bit, which I think was due to a combination of sitting and no longer tapping my feet.
Huh? Jumping to conclusions while not knowing all the facts. Please read up on the discussions that we had _after_ Red Hat made this decision. Their decision was made, end of discussion.

I am sure they made a sound business decision, and I think as a result of that I made the right personal decision. And here we are now having this meta-discussion with people not having a clue. Welcome !

> The students who come to US for MS spend 2 years of their studies. They are not going to magically follow American culture all of a sudden. If one goes to any Hindu temple in US, you will find a huge number of these students.

Nope they do. No Indian kid ever worked in a petty job(at least ones that I know of) until they started at a US university.That teaches a lot about value of work and value of people. They get weaved inside the fabric of Murrican society.

> Another thing is H4 is not something unique to the Infosys crowd. The Infosys crowd usually gets sent back to India once their deputation is over, they don't even get a chance to apply for h4.

I am not pointing out Infosys alone. I am using Inofsys to exemplify the likes of it. So, does the crowd really go back once the tenure is over ? Not really. Every one I knew, once they landed here jumped to a different employer and became a contractor for them. Thanks to H1B. Their H4 spouses got a free ticket to live with them. I am not saying its wrong. I am saying H4 spouses are disproportionately at advantage over other immigrant groups in gaining employment.

> The reality is these US students are one of the biggest groups who flock to the consultancies. They are desperate to get a h1b before their time runs out, so they settle for anything they get, which means usually a level 1 salary. Some also resort to scams such as faking experiences in their resume, paying consultancies money in return for keeping them in status and so on.

True. Thats what I said. If we do not curb H4 based immigration, this is only going to increase.

> they're gonna loose big time because they're a foreign company

I think it's somewhat irresponsible to throw out accusations this big without even feeling the need to offer any evidence for them.

FWIW I once summed up the various fines (anti-trust etc.) doled out by the EU by country/continent. It turned out that US companies were, collectively, fined slightly less than their share of economic activity in the EU, while Asian companies were fined more and EU companies were about level.

This corresponds rather well with a non-corrupt process largely blind to companies' nationality, assuming that US companies are rather well-regulated in the US compared to Asian companies.

I haven't done the reverse for US fines of European companies. But, subjectively, the cases that made the news (mostly VW and Deutsche Bank) gel rather nicely with my (Germany-based) impression of companies with malignant corporate culture and do not require any nationalistic motivation to explain.

I know it may seem like a minor point in this context. But if we always assume all institutions are corrupt, that becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy. Institutions such as the court system and, more generally, the rule of law, are the reason we (some of us) can enjoy life in peace, and shouldn't be torn down just by empty cynicism.
It's an interesting idea but I wonder what will make this different than gittip from years ago, or gratipay, or Patreon, or just having a "donate" button in your README file.

I guess I'm just skeptical in that this will change anything for the developers who are trying to make some type of income for their contributions.

On a related note, DHH recorded a very nice keynote at Railsconf 2019 on expectations of payments in open source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBwWbFpkltg

ConTExT: Leakage-Free Transient Execution
It seems to me that the one-second adjustment is exactly the right compromise. It's small enough to be ignored for most practical purposes (many clocks are out by a second anyway), and it means that the offset between TAI and UTC is a round number (37 s rather than 36.852 s), while leap seconds are frequent enough for people to get a bit of practice at handling them, while rare enough that you can avoid them if you're not confident about handling them: don't schedule any rocket launches for 00:00 on Jan 1 or Jul 1. It seems exactly right to me.
Strange. I've found the opposite to be true. They do a pretty decent job explaining why you need a web server and how to make a basic one. Once it's set up, there are tons of examples and resources to look at.
1) Corrupt OSS developers to produce OSS only for money.

2) Control top performers by pitching GitHub self-promotion experts with an agenda against them.

3) Make top performers leave OSS because the atmosphere has become hostile to meritocracy.

4) Try to take over existing code bases by hiring developers.

5) Make those developers push the above points inside "their" project (the key parts of which have usually been written by others).

Oh, I don't deny that value types would have helped performance back in '95, just that they were absolutely essential for Java. Smalltalk/Self and Scheme/CL didn't have them, and those were probably Java's greatest influences; I don't think VB had them, either. Also, in its first four years, before HotSpot was ready, Java was interpreted, so it had bigger performance problems.

I don't know why there was no emphasis on AOT back then. I guess they started with interpreter/JIT, and then there just wasn't much demand for AOT until now.
If you go back far enough you find KHTML.

KHTML -> WebKit (Apple) -> Blink (Google) -> Chromium.

So while Chromium is undoutably the work of many Google employees it's not entirely the work of Google employees which is one of the reasons it's licensed the way that it is.

Mmm you should watch some FL studio videos too, it’s all programming but FL was a shortcut for a lot of beats producers I’ve met in the wild. Music training def helps, sampling is alternate shortcut. I agree with yr comment but would reverse the paragraphs - it’s a learning curve and sucking is part of it but 10 years is too far away. Figure out what’s fun with it. Ableton is frustrating for someone who starts from zero but once you get going... there’s more stuff to get lost in.

When comparing Windows 95 to other Operating Systems of its era (Windows 3.1, Mac OS 7.1/7.5 or OS/2) it becomes more apparent that they must have gotten inspired by NeXTSTEP.
Unfair in what way?

They included in RHEL and sold it as part of their product when it suited them, and now they have replaced it because it suited them. That's fine, I don't have to agree.
I think it's a very compelling deal: under the patreon model (company takes a cut to fund the funding mechanism), the "platform tax" is a permanent sore that makes donating feel less good than it could. Am I giving to the cause or am I giving to the platform? An independent zero fee platform run entirely on altruism will always be in the edge of failure, with one of the failure modes being transfer to untrustworthy operators.

A commercial zero fee platform run as a loss leader on a perfectly obvious business case just makes sense. It's clear that both ends of the transaction "pay" by adding relevance to the platform, but that's a positive sum game.

They are deprecating .NET Framework and have to migrate popular application models like WinForms and WPF to .NET Core. Open Source is a by-product.

And starting later this year, .NET Core will be re-branded to ".NET" deprecating .NET Framework (on 4.8) and merging Mono into it (see Build Conference). .NET Core 4.0 will be skipped and the next version is ".NET 5" (without the Core moniker).

Generic ads are more useful to me anyway. When the ads are targeted, it's usually for products I already have an opinion about, and about which I have therefore already made up my mind.

Generic ads, on the other hand, can be about topics/products I usually would never consider or have a strong opinion about, when I realise it might be helpful to a problem I've been neglecting or something like that.

Put another way: Targeted ads are never useful to me, generic ads are sometimes useful to me.
It depends on the interface for the drivers to the application. However, UIO doesn't seem to support DMA, which is a non-starter.

RDMA and DPDK both use user-space drivers, which is necessary for kernel-bypass. I'm not advocating for a particular kernel-bypass solution. I'm arguing that if we use kernel-bypass for I/O, we should have a common, efficient, high-level interface for it.
