Not every company I've dealt with, or worked for has been net based. All have had some sort of awareness of Data Protection. Obviously, there were also exemptions for the smallest businesses. Sometimes awareness was simply a weekend going through DPA and deciding they were small enough to be exempt.

The biggest problem with Data Protection was the maximum penalty, and that it had no teeth for data that moved out of area. It simply wasn't enough for the larger corporations to care that much - unless they were purely national. Hence some companies being fined multiple times for the same failings. I don't believe there's a Shell, Philips, Siemens or Glaxo that didn't have awareness, data protection officer and so on.
> This is wholly and totally imaginary. Every part of system has an alternative because it is all solving existing problems that people have been solving for decades with a variety of tools.

Alternative doesn't mean 100% substitute both ways. The pre-systemd didn't go in their abstraction in the way, that systemd does - it is basically system-level, event handling machine. The events could be not only boot, but also hotplug, timer, socket connection or others, and their handling is configured by the system or admin in unified way, including unified way of adjusting system-supplied units. Other inits just ran scripts at some order the boot and that's it, ignoring, that something doesn't have to happen at boot, but at some other time.

That's one of the things, that systemd handles way better, than any suggested alternative. By ignoring where systemd is strong, you won't make the alternatives any better.

> The only actual challenge is replacing just part of systemd while retailing compatibility with the rest of it.

No. I don't see why we should have the Sisyphos task of maintaing sysv/cron/etc idiosyncrasies forever. Sometimes, it is better to get rid of the collected warts, and not limit the system to existing semantics.
Because as owners of the server and/or channel you are free to implement a protocol on top of it. On Discord and Slack you do not have such liberty. Heck, Slack killed IRC gateway.

SysV init had the ability to restart, allowing upgrades without rebooting. Can systemd do that?

The mechanism was kind of interesting:

SysV init would create socketpair, then fork. The parent (with PID 1, required for correct functionality) would then exec the new SysV init binary with an option specified to make it receive state over the socket. The child would supply that state, then exit.
Don't think that person really overdid it much, except for being so specific on the timing. The reality is that no-one knows exactly what the combined effect of climate-forcing factors will be, or when. It could be a catastrophe, or it might not be so bad (as some people fear)

Quite a few things a likely to change though, just as climate change always did; previously fertile lands will likely become deserts, and vice versa. Which means animals and plants all will be on the move, and some will not have time to adapt and perish. Humans are more adaptable, and would not necessarily face an extinction, but the conflicts that follow may be fatal.
> except for privacy-minded users

...that's like saying "high standards of medicine are bad except for hygiene-minded users." The fact that the user has other concerns in their life doesn't change the fact that it's still bad for them.
Hah, cool story. It's interesting that both the comments were from musicians. I too am a musician myself. Sounds like things have worked out great for you. I think there are two different general ways of thinking. One is to do the lean startup model and be very scientific and iterate through ideas quickly. The other sounds more like what you did, build something that you like and just keep working on it because you like it. The second camp seems to insulate you a bit from the thing having to be successful financially in order to be a fun and rewarding aspect of your life.
Exploitation does not exist?

I understand that... Go still isn't an appropriate language for SystemD, also, when did SystemD really take hold? Lots of projects will shift underlying options with time.
Terminology pedantry since I recently got in "jarrariums" and have been reading a bunch...

Most terraria are not sealed, so while we've been making them forever, that doesn't say much about the viability of sealed ones. As far as I know, research into closed ecosystems didn't start until the 20th century.

If it has fish in it, it's not a terrarium. Terraria are land-based (hence the name). Think garden in a box. The main thing a terrarium gives you over simply potting some plants is that it can increase the local humidity. Also, you can have animals in it (usually invertebrates that eat detritus), which helps it be lower-maintainance.

If it's full of water, it's an aquarium (again hence the name). Most aquaria today don't have living plants and only have animals. That requires mechanical filtration and oxygenation to replicate the side of the ecosystem that plants normally occupy. A "planted tank" is an aquarium with live plants in it. When balanced well, they can be lower maintainance because the plants and animals provide things the other need.

If the box is half-submerged with both aquatic and land-based life, it's a "paludarium".

Certification already exists - called Functional Safety Engineer, issued by people like Exida and TUV.

I hold this Certification. It is painfully slow to use performance based standards to extract users risks and needs and then produce software designed and tested to standards like IEC 61511 and IEC 61508.

They are basically Q/A standards, encourage use of the V-model, defined life cycle activities etc etc in an attempt to produce critical software to an estimated known quality.

When you do the calcs the equipment is usually the easier part, it is almost always the humans that end up causing the problems. It is amazing how creative they can be to do a task, or to not do a task.
Correct. The crux of the issue in the economics of the web is that users privacy value is not explicitly part of the advertiser-publisher transaction. Advertisers want more data because it works. Publishers are ok with that as long as it doesn't bother their users too much. But it's not explicitly priced in the transaction, and users have no say in the transaction at all.
OP said the resolution was too small, the field of vision too narrow, and the equipment itself too cumbersome to be used by people engaged in manual labour.

Those are all technical critiques. What am I missing? Where was it said Enterprise product failed as a fashion accessory?

I mean certainly they might be wrong and all the above critiques false, or dealt with via progress to version 2.... but no one mentioned fashion.
Well they announced that they were stopping making cars correct? I assumed this was coming
So to sum up: "If you love what you do, your employer won't make you stop doing it, and might encourage you to do it more." and this means they are taking advantage of you.
When you will still be wealthy regardless of the outcome of any decision you make, you can try more things and take more risks. This fosters as confidence. If you are competent in your risk-taking, it shows up. If you are not, it manifests as overconfidence.

Wealth does not create overconfidence; it only reveals it.
I can't watch the video now, but does it explain why the inside of a cylinder rather than the inside of a sphere? This was my question after reading the OP; if you truly want the UI to be equidistant from a single point (the user's head) in two dimensions, it seems like a sphere is the obvious choice there.
Siempo is hiring Android and web devs to build humane technology
Seeking a full-time tech-lead, and open to part-time freelance work today.

https://angel.co/siempo/jobs/541935-senior-lead-android-developer
https://github.com/Get-Siempo/siempo-android-app
https://humanetech.com

What
Oakland-based Siempo is building out the product side of the Humane Tech movement. We created the first smartphone interface designed to support mental health and wellbeing, and recently transitioned to open source to invite a growing community of mission-driven professionals to plug into this important effort.

Why
Our mission is to help people build healthier relationships with technology, through AI interfaces centered around psychological support and growth. In the process we will model better corporate citizenship and apply market pressure to accelerate the adoption of humane tech.

Who
After working with a part-time CTO for a couple of years, we are now looking to find the right person to join full-time and build our collective dreams. This is essentially a co-founder role that would evolve into a CTO position as our relationship flourishes.

You will work directly with co-founder and CEO Andrew Dunn and an incredible orbit of advisors. If you hold a growth mindset, desire to deepen your understanding of human nature, and passion for creating the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible, email andrew@siempo.co.
Nice, that's very cool. I have noted in my life that keeping a band together is like 4X the difficulty of keeping a romantic relationship afloat. The 4 in 4X is really just the number of people in the band. :)

The OEM doesn't make money on replacing parts or service. The Tier-1 / aftermarket suppliers and the mechanics do.
Yeah to be fair that's not how it was originally intended. This use-case emerged from previous releases as being the only one where it is actually helpful. Maybe anyway.
This completely fails to capture the nuance in the differences between IRC and modern chat apps, as well as failing to understand an entire userbase and its needs. I know this because i'm a part of the userbase of both slack and IRC.

When I was in a less-than-ideal job situation a few years ago, I found myself saying "... but I love my job" to a friend. I'll never forget the reply: "... you may love your job, but the job doesn't love you back". It was tough to hear it, but in hindsight I'm very thankful for that jolt.

A: Air travel generally is a far simpler problem to solve, because there's national standardization of the air navigation system, the airport paint and signage, and very clear rules of separation with very few edge cases. And yet we do not have anything close to self-flying planes no matter how much money you throw at it. And we're not even close to getting there. Whereas with cars, none of that is true, municipalities get wedged into violating their own equivalent of human interface guidelines all the time. Worn paint and signs for years, busted cross walk signals, confusing intersections, human driven cars that consistently do not follow the rules but in inconsistent ways.

B. Personal air travel has a significant regulatory burden in the transition from ground to air. The ground is city + state regulated. And immediately once airborne it's FAA regulated, but not under any kind of Air Traffic Control, as almost all airspace below 1200' above ground is uncontrolled. So ATC has nothing to say about it, and no central mechanism for negotiating conflicts.

Where are you allowed to takeoff and land is easily figured out today: airports only. And that's because it takes all kinds of things into account like obstruction clearance, noise abatement, anticipating engine failures and crashes. We can't even automate commercial flights - it might seem like it's more correct to say we don't automate commercial flights, but we could. That's not really true. The amount of changes to the air traffic control system, and on-board equipment for airplanes, is presently so cost prohibitive that it is effectively a "cannot be done".
If you have a lot of passion and overwork yourself you will still burn out. It's good to establish boundaries with yourself and take some time for other things outside your passion bubble. That will make you more productive too.
What I’ve heard anecdotally: The “generic” part of a generic drug is the active ingredient - that should be essentially the same between manufacturers. What differs, however, is the delivery mechanism. So for something that is extended release, the mechanism for releasing over time can vary between manufacturer.

I’m not entirely sure that this is the full story though, I haven’t researched the problem enough.
If you love your job, but hate your politicians, and your company's investors are laundering their profits through PACs to purchase said politicians, then your employer is—perhaps not so clearly—taking advantage of you.

Your comment sounds more like a soap box than interacting with the actual article.

> In one study, participants who read that an artist was strongly passionate about his job said it was more legitimate for the boss to exploit the artist than those who read the artist wasn’t as passionate. This finding extended to asking for work far beyond the job description, including leaving a day at the park with family and cleaning the office bathroom.

This is not normal and professional behavior.
I think there is agreement, or at least slowly developing consensus, that some software should be "engineered" and some should just be "developed". But there is not yet really a structure (that I have seen) for declaring which thing your project is doing and setting up your practices accordingly. One reason this is tricky is that many (most?) projects start in the should-be-developed category and only transition to the should-be-engineered category later after they become mission critical in some way. The answer is often to build an "engineered" version as soon as you can figure out you need it. But then that's even more expensive than doing it that way to start, and it's also a really tough call to make because everybody knows rewrites are a bad idea. It's a tough bind for all but the most obvious cases. And then because those obvious cases are fairly few and far between, the best practices and the experiences of most of the workforce are skewed toward software that merely needs to be "developed".

To make this concrete: a couple times now in my career I've embarked on projects where setting up any level of formal verification at the beginning would have clearly been overkill, but where a few years later I really wished I had it for certain important pieces. And now since formal verification is so uncommon in my experience, I would have to play a lot of catch up to do it, even for a project that is clearly important enough for it even from the beginning. I think this is a pretty widespread experience.
For basically no porosity you use selective laser melting (SLM) aka laser powder bed fusion (PBF).
When everything is event based, you know. You can trivially even record the entire call stack on an object attached to the DOM element, when your framework is in debug mode. You can see the whole history of call stacks if you so choose.

And there is no waste, either.
Design and Implement Golang Failpoints

HN caveman hivemind: hooga hooga, nuclear good! GMO feed world!!
Agreed. I've been slowly migrating away from my one-true-love, of Perl, because it is easier to deploy golang binaries.

During the course of that I've isolated small sections of my project, and migrated them over a piece at time. Instead of perl "doing stuff" it now writes out data to JSON, and a golang service consumes that and does the actual back-end work.

This lets me rewrite the trickiest bits first, and also provides a level of isolation and abstraction I can test thoroughly.

Already I'm feeling much more productive, and I have more confidence that I don't need to install specific versions of gems (some ruby stuff too) and "unsupported" perl modules.
According to the article, people did not publish that information as a possible source.

'Let me give you a parallel case: writing poetry in Latin, in England, in the eighteenth century. Now, why would anyone do that. The mistake the modern interpreter is almost certain to make lies in assuming that the eighteenth-century literati must have done “X” for the same reasons we would do “X” now.'

In the first third of the 19th Century, Sidney Smith remarked that English gentlemen spent the best years of their lives in making Latin verses. For the gentlemen not yet of an age to leave school, the master's stick was a considerable incentive.

Wow! Relying on FAX sounds so ridiculous, especially coming from a company that was supposed to have designed API for every internal operation -even for some that didn't make sense, long before APIs where even a thing.
I was thinking, maybe it's a great thing the web cannot be monetized on a gigantic scale? Maybe it's not too late to turn the tide against tracking, censorship and thought-policing going on on the internet if the giant tech corps cannot earn money on it anymore.

That leaves just the governments, but hey, it seems like a step in the right direction...

Naive I know.
Definitely, I saw this from working on hybrids when I was a mechanic. The transmissions were simpler, the engine rarely needed any work since they ran less than a gas only car. They barely needed any brake work since the electric motor does most of the stopping.

A full electric pretty much eliminates all the work besides replacing tires and replacing the brakes maybe once in the car's lifetime.

Some customers with older evs will need new batteries but the price of a battery is so expensive that dealers won't have a lot of room for markup and it only takes a few hours to replace one.

Exactly; there was a oped w/ similar voice in NYT about a week ago. US Pharm companies are losing the ability to fix prices on their preferred generics, so they're switching to fear PR to promote their 'premium generics.'
NHS isn't a for profit healthcare system; and they'll break even earlier on the early detection and diagnosis as since it covers you for life treating you early is less expensive then treating you later when the treatment costs would be higher.

Considerations would be different if the MRI scanner was running as for profit; or you could switch coverage so the later costs would be borne by someone else.

Given that the Waltons family is worth more than the bottom billion people on the planet and their main achievement was being born from the right vagina, yes exploitation exists.

It is correct that as a data subject you should file any complaints about GDPR with the data protection agency of your country of residence. However, that agency will refer the complaint/case to the data protection agency of the company in question.

You may lodge a complaint with the designated data protection agency in Germany, but when they establish that the complaint is against Facebook residing in Ireland, they will refer the complaint to Ireland. Ireland clearly sees slow walking complaints as a competitive advantage.

I think that the article didn't do a good job of explaining why a person's overconfidence is "interpreted by strangers as competence." Maybe there are many dimensions to competence and a deficit in one area of competence might be made up for by a surplus in another area. Maybe "High-Class" is a multivariate description that often includes high social competence that gives other people an impression of generalized competence. As examples: 1. Oppenheimer's poisoned apple and 2. Having a towel.

I kept a real nasty implementation of this alive for the last two years while building a REST api and React frontend to replace it.

Ha yeah, I didn't mean "they really should have used Go", I just meant, "Go as it exists today may be a good thing to use for this".
Huh. This sounds a lot like Ruby Guilds. This looks it will land sooner, though likely in less complete form, as even the prototype Guild implementation has inter-guild communication.
