This book https://www.amazon.com/Anatomy-Peace-Resolving-Heart-Conflic... changed how i look at changing myself and personal development in general, it might help you see things differently.

If it does, I can recommend seeking out an Arbinger trained coach to help you dive deeper into the material.

(Ps. I am super biased being such a coach myself, i took the training to get more self esteem, it worked, and now i want to pass it on to others)

BSD rc scripts haven't worked in the way that you think that they have, for decades.

Mewburn rc, which reduced many rc scripts to a couple of shell function calls and a handful of variable declarations, has been used by NetBSD since 2001, and FreeBSD started using it about a year later. OpenBSD, furthermore, reinvented Mewburn rc around 8 years ago. Project Trident (formerly TrueOS formerly PC-BSD) has also since then switched from Mewburn rc to OpenRC.

Your definition of journalism is a bit distorted given the current journalism environment as an example. The current scene is that all journalists have editors who comply with their editors and the editor's backers (institutions or private organizations, CEOs, Managers, Lobbyists, Political Parties, financiers). These editors are playing the politics game, not the journalist game. Initially Wikileaks was actually mediating whisteblowers and big publishers, but big news organizations werent publishing what they were sending them because it didnt work with their narrative. The military docs that Wikileaks published were first sent to New York Times, however, NYT didnt want to publish the files at all, they werent even excited by them.
You're suggesting people scour logs for missed messages as if that's seriously your pitch for "IRC has that, too."

This is exactly why people who are pro-IRC are watching the sun set on IRC and they don't have a flaming clue why beyond condescending suspicions like "it's the users who are idiots."
tenuous claims? really?

The only thing he's being extradited for is trying to hack into US gov computer systems, something which he literally admitted to in a chat message with Manning.

This whole wikileaks debacle has really shaken my faith in comment quality on HN. Gone are the well informed insightful comments that give you a unique insight into the topic matter, and in with knee jerk comments that appeal to HN's overall political direction.

I don't want to dive into the comments section to have my opinion reinforced by the chorus, I want to be challenged and maybe have my opinion changed in an intellectual way; and it just doesn't feel like this site is good for that anymore.
It's a ironic to me that the original inspiration for the story was not ceramics, but photography. My main pastime is photography, and I took this advice to heart and started being as prolific as possible, which is something that digital photography has made easy and compared to film, inexpensive. It was a great relief to just accept that the first attempts at anything are going to be terrible and that failure was a necessary barrier to entry of getting good. Ten years, and tens of thousands of photos later and I've gained a lot of experience and produced some work that I'm proud to call my own.
In most cities I've been to, the local taxi service has fixed fares for trips to/from the airport.
People lived in small communities where other people were able to observe them. They were forced to interact with others through church and just basic market transactions (you go to the general store, you don’t order something on amazon). At harvest time everyone worked together to get everything done. The communities were small enough so that other people could detect patterns of antisocial behavior. That alone discouraged such behavior. If it didn’t, the community could apply social pressures to correct the behavior.

If you go into a restaurant in Sibley Iowa and leave your table a mess, people you know personally notice. If you do it in Manhattan, you can be shameless—the odds of someone recognizing you are remote, and even if someone does nobody sees you in public often enough to put together a pattern of behavior.
I dare you to name a good technology that came about due to a race of proprietary competition and not in close collaboration with the best talent in the field. It really is a waste to bin all this engineering talent apart just because their free backpacks have a different logo embroidered. You could have two engineers struggling with the exact same problem sitting in the same uber pool ride to work and they wouldn't be able to speak a word of it to each other due to shortsightedness by shareholders. There will be a point where a clear winner emerges, 5 competing companies turns to 3 and turns to 1, and all those hours and hours of engineering effort by the failures becomes a moot point. It's not like the 1 company that emerges will hire another 5 companies worth of engineering either, this is redundant work. You wouldn't even be able to learn from these failures until decades after the fact in a blog post from a retired engineer no longer bound to an NDA.
Using a throwaway here because I'm still a bit feeling a shamed although I shouldn't...

I've been there. I always had a feeling I had something wrong in me, that I lacked something that others had. Being able to be confidence. For me it ended up stemming from my ADHD, it caused me my inner monologue volume to be just too high, and negative thoughts to surface more.

I wish I could tell you there was one silver bullet, but there wasn't. People with natural confidence don't know to teach how they got there, because it's natural for them.

I had to learn it from scratch. And it was achieved via small steps. Small achievements, lot's of good old fashioned self assertions (reading positive affirmations about myself each morning, making a list of what good things I did today, making a list of written and achievable goals, being forgiving to myself)

For me also taking Ritalin at some point helped accelerate it as it helped me lower the volume of my inner monologue and thought loop.

Also knowing ADHD had something to do with it, helped me make peace with the fact I'm just a good person, I forgave my younger self for the mistakes I made, the embarrassing things I said, the things I wanted to say but didn't. It may sound lame in writing, but realizing I was a good boy after all, cracked something in me that made peace with myself.

English is not my native language so hope it made sense.

tl;dr I've been there, it's possible to build confidence, it takes lot's of small wins and being deliberate, forgiving to yourself, and also getting diagnosed to see if you can blame some neurologic situation vs yourself. this may be the counter intuitive thing, but for me it was the game changer. I finally really stopped thinking I was stupid. It was some neurological problem with my brain. that worked for me, YMMV.
There’s also the fact that if you release this kind of consideration to rank and file employees, you take the risk of someone leaking it to the media or insider trading on it
Good question! A great introduction that was written while the author was still building systemd can be found here:

http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/systemd.html

Also, the "systemd for administrators" series:

https://gist.github.com/bcremer/8cdf6900c35dda65f387
I found the man pages to be a pretty good read.

Use `man -t systemctl` to produce a pdf version.

There are a couple of files you want to read, e.g. systemd.service, systemd.unit, systemd, deamon etc.

But those are linked at the `SEE ALSO` section.

Yep, some things are a little bit harder than they might have been in the very recent past for some people, but overall life is better than it has ever been in the history of the world. Telling kids to stay in their lane because it's hard to do otherwise it's terrible leadership in my opinion.
That would be what I call a bet, a very risky one at that. Especially if you are not filthy rich already.
This is my experience as well.

Suddenly logins take 30s. Why? Some new systemd problem with reverse DNS.

Suddenly reboots don't happen. Why? Systemd is spinning on a task that didn't used to spin. Yes, probably fixable, but not discovered until trying to reboot.

Can't login at coffee shop WiFi suddenly. Why? Some random systemd DNS issue.

Is my system more secure? Maybe, but possibly because it breaks so often that low uptime keeps it safe!

For my servers, I seriously have to cross my fingers and have the colo phone number handy whenever I reboot, fearful that they won't restart because of some random systemd interaction that happened on some previous upgrade. It's gotten that bad.
> In this case, being rich or poor is neither necessary nor sufficient since we have plenty of examples of things working out with either of these two things being missing.

You are totally missing the point Matthew Prince is trying to make, that is, you need to have a "safety net" before you can take risks. If one can't even get them fed and not worrying about what the next meal is and where to stay, all bets are off.

If you don't agree with me, name one entrepreneur who has found a startup that exited successfully(IPO or Acquisition) by now and that the founder(s) were living below poverty line or on social welfare. Borrowing money from parents doesn't count as living below poverty does it? Having parents or friends or family to lean onto economically means there is a safety net there.

It turns out being connected with good friends/family is a lot more enjoyable than being connected with every random person you had a university course with once.

Facebook is going to be your rolodex (A "facebook" even! good name for it) and then there's going to be a heavily segmented private social network for your friends / families to connect and share photos. Figuring out how to make that happen with limited / minor work for the user is the challenge.
That's exactly the belief those in power most want you to hold on to. Elections are a cruel joke. Build guillotines.

It's the picture which duiker101 already pointed to, the description of the auction, which mentions a "Puma machine" and the fact that the room was cluttered with sports gear (mentioned in the article).

Mentioning configuration management, that's something Apple is really good at... it will be fascinating to see what comes out of their efforts eventually.

I almost prefer their approach of keeping things under wraps until they are ready, rather than pre-teasing stuff that might happen later than predicted.

To be fair to Tesla, they are not saying we will have full self driving next year... it is Elon making a prediction, not a promise, and he couched it many ways. Full self driving for Tesla development cars, basically, and robo-taxis possibly by the end of next year, with safety drivers, if you listen to what he said in response to an audience question... so his actual statements are pretty far removed from what you have dressed up as "quotes" right there.
I'll agree reading between the lines and conspiracy theories are related; you shouldn't necessarily believe everything you're told. The difference is, I'm willing to change my mind to the simplest explanation with some evidence (conspiracy theories don't usually do that).

But also, a reminder: Conspiracy theories have gotten a terrible name recently via all the batshit insane ones. Some of them turned out to be true.

Manning was one of the best IT people in the whole military sector where he was based at. Wikileaks giving Manning technical help how to steal data is ludicrous... Manning first approached a hacker friend of his regarding the data that he already had, and that hacker friend of his told him to go to Wikileaks. After Wikileaks published the stuff, the hacker friend (diagnosed as Autist with loads of mental health problems) told the police that Manning stole the data

I think a unique problem with China (and India too in the future) is that it is so big that the consequences of transfer materialize faster and and in bigger ways. Unlike smaller developing nations, China seems to be pretty good at learning and implementing, either as a matter of policy or through the sheer size of its markets and burgeoning professional class. Siemens and Kawasaki probably didn't expect China to internalize their high speed rail tech in a few short years, and proceed to compete internationally against them. Where do you draw the line from acceptable transfer? Is stealing a retroactively-applied term when someone exceeds the teacher or can the terms of transfer be done better upfront?

In other words, I wonder if there's a way to adjust tech transfers to developing countries based on not just the level of development, but also how 'dynamic' the developing country is? Is it fair to punish a country having a population and policies in place that focus on learning and development?

> in short you have to be pretty ruthless for yourself to transform

More about this:

- If you believe that “the most important is to be yourself”, stop. The reason you asked is because you’re ready to change not doing everything the same as before.

Then set the goals that you believe are achievable to you but find somebody that you can report about them. Once you achieve them, also confirm that they stick (that that wasn’t “once”). Etc.

But also: seek a help of a Cognitive Behaviour therapist. Evidence based. As scientific as it can be. Read other comments here about it, and search elsewhere.
I don't see how pointing out a country has concentration camps (reported by multiple outlets, like the NYTs) is "nationalistic," or against the spirit of the site. In fact the story has been reported here...A LOT.

Evidence that is turned over to law enforcement by a non-governmental entity may be used at trial. This is called the "silver platter" doctrine. So, your roommate went into your locked room and gave police the kilo of cocaine and firearm you always keep on the nightstand. Tough luck. The police are prohibited from directing private individuals to seize evidence that could not otherwise be seized. Another problem is that correspondence between Assange and his defense team--in other words, his defense--is contained in these materials. Giving the prosecutor access to this material must not be analyzed solely under a 4th Amendment search and seizure analysis, but under a 5th Amendment right to counsel analysis. The silver platter doctrine would not apply to a 5th Amendment analysis.

Parenthetically, cops and journalists are two professions that go undercover. Both lie in order to maintain the act. I have read multiple comments about how Assange tried to help Manning, e.g., that Assange tried to break encryption but failed. But no one knows this. It may very well be that Assange told Manning that he did these things, but did not for any number of reasons, not the least of which would be to keep Manning invested in looking for more material. There is no proof--though there may be in these seized materials--that Assange did anything of the sort. Journalists lie to their sources all the time.

Also, could someone explain why Manning simply didn't leave the country upon being released from jail? There are no criminal charges against Manning--there is merely a civil subpoena which Manning is resisting. He was under no obligation to remain in the United States.

I think in that case though it’s fine (even expected) because I can choose to take or not take it and find work elsewhere as a freelancer — the pro-labor argument with Uber/Lyft is that it’s systemic versus freelance work between two individuals is personal.
> It's been proven that the Saudi asked Musk multiple times to take Tesla private between early 2017 and summer 2018 but other shareholders resisted the attempt (with far less capital at hand than the Musk and the Saudi).

Actually, the record seems to be that Musk was interested in taking Tesla private, and met with the Saudis once or twice, where they allegedly indicated some verbal support for the idea while not agreeing (or even discussing) on things such as at what price. Musk then took the verbal support as a full commitment to buy Tesla at a premium over current prices and gave his infamous "funding secured" tweets.

> "Trust me, I don't give a damn about open source as a means to an end"

See, I think that's where you differ from most people. To most people, I believe open source is a means to an end, not an end unto itself. What they want first and foremost is something that works, and it happens to be the case that having the source code freely available facilitates having something that works and gives them a sense of comfort, an assurance, that it will continue to work in the foreseeable future. So appealing to "it's opensource, so you should like it" totally misses the mark. The argument should be "it works, therefore you should like it."

Had SystemD never given anybody any trouble, I don't think it would be hated. I think SystemD is hated because (particularly during early adoption years) there were a lot of things about it that didn't work for a lot of people. This made them angry, because it violated what they actually cared about. Not permissive licensing, but rather having something that works. The principle of open source is not axiomatic to most people; it only has value when it is part of having something that works.

Somewhere else I see this mentality: Android. There are a few among the 'community' who would have me pop open the champagne because "Linux won" on account of Android being an incredible commercial success. But why should I celebrate that? Why is "number of CPUs running Linux" the metric I should be glued to? Because Linux is open source? So what? Honestly, who gives a damn?
