There is another problem, that software developers in general hate maintenance work. People should be working on keeping existing stuff working and well-oiled. We want exciting work where we get to learn some new tech. Nobody wants the janitorial jobs where you're just keeping things ticking along and running smoothly. Ofcource there are people who work on legacy systems - banking systems, old mainframes, etc. We already have so much software thats out there, that just goes unused, and then people "re-invents" it, and often times makes it worse - with DRM, subscription, micro-transactions, "but now its on the web", etc.
One reason even big ol sysvinit is superior to systemd is that shell scripts are transitive knowledge. You can do almost everything with shell scripts. Learning some obscure (albeit very simple) systemd unit file format won't help you anywhere else besides systemd.
No flame intended here, but have to state this.

Worm-eater. That's such a typical solution. The cause of this migration should be given a solution, not the effects or result of the migration.
Symmetric Division Considered Harmful
Love that idea, but again it's this abstract "change how people think" – who is organizing this collective action? How can I join their existing efforts? My comparative advantage is not public relations / marketing / persuasion, and while I'm going to of course keep trying to make sure the people around me understand the seriousness of the issue, I'm at a loss for how to have a larger impact.

1000% agreed that individual action is not enough, and that we need to get the corporations and governments of the world to make serious changes. But I have no idea what those changes are, or like you say, how we can make them while maintaining or improving lifestyles for all people.

Also, thank you for answering kindly and collaboratively. For some reason I'm just feeling really fed up with climate news porn today and these are all the frustrations and questions I've always wanted to ask.
Eh, I'll be fine. I'm English/French/German descent, my people have been eating milk and meat and eggs for ten thousand years.

Worrying about cancer is counter-productive, particularly the geriatric forms that everyone dies with anyway. Warding off obesity and diabetes from excessive sugar and processed carbohydrates is a more urgent concern.
I'm not an expert on the subject but according to "science", the reason that woman do not go to engineering fields in the US is a byproduct of their environment not a difference in their genetics.

If I got it right, Robert Sapolsky claims that the way to make more woman into tech is to make young girls believe that they can do tech. They already have the cognitive capacity.

In this same sense, PG might be hitting the nail in the head: The reason poor people don't do startups is because they believe they can't; and that it is a white privilege.

If they believe they can't, they will not try. If they don't try, the probability that they succeed is exactly %0. Re-enforcing the myth and further convincing poor people not to try.

The only way out is to convince them otherwise and see what the real odds are.

Robert Sapolsky also claims that we need to change our speech and views (ie: remove "negativity") in order to level the playing field. PG is doing the same. He thinks that other ideas need to be censored as it is important to maximalize the propaganda.

That's a dangerous thinking as it touches on freedom of speech. One might wonder if you can level the social "cognitive" field while also preserving freedom of speech. Educating people is the only way I guess.
>it seems only dissent in non western countries is valid at which point europe, the free press, ngos and academics will line up with drums and megaphones to lecture everyone on the importance of 'freedom, democracy and dissent'

I just want to point out that this is really about the UK here, since this is where this is happening, and the UK really isn't like the rest of Europe at all, something they made quite clear when they voted for Brexit.
‘Luddite’ Shouldn’t Be a Dirty Word
The difference between NIH and vertical integration is in the result. When accounting for cost of effort, does it end up inferior to some third-party solution, or does it allow for a more efficient business process?

Most of the time, you're right: one is better off going with a solution put together by some other group who made it their core expertise. But if you keep bumping into limits, and have the resources to throw at the problem, you can develop a compelling solution in-house.

It's a bit like the tradeoff (for enterprises) between buying a turn-key solution and going with an opensource project. The latter is often more expensive (once you factor in the cost involved in figuring everything out) BUT will end up much more taylored to your needs—especially if your usage involves controbuting patches to the project.
I prefer unlicensed taxis.
It’s all in how you perceive it. You’re in control. You can dispense with misperception at will, like rounding the point.
So a piece by the founder of /e/ on how phone manufacturers could use /e/ instead of Android. Though their website doesn't explain what /e/ actually is. From the screenshots is it just Linage with f-droid?
It's an age old problem. Upstreams were complaining (legitimately) about how Linux distributions would (re)package their software and break it along the way 20 years ago. Broken packages in Docker being pulled from Debian is no surprise, it was ever thus.
We can also reduce the effort to write better code. Certain language and tooling features make quality easier.
I heard this piece on NPR, the entire time all I could think about is it seems tailor made for the pharm industry.

They never mention a specific instance of impurities found, just a vague "they're made over in India/China!" thing. No details here other than people drinking tap water in India.
I wonder if this is true or if we will just use cheaper, dirtier technology to get by?
This reminds me of this case:

https://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/17/business/generic-ritalin-...

Everything in healthcare regulation tends to face intractable tradeoffs between cost, time, quality, and access, but small molecule generics should be an exception to that. The development work has been done, and the cost of goods is so cheap in general that it it seems entirely reasonable to demand more stringency in proving equivalence in manufacturing to the brand name.

An important question is - what's going to happen as we move into biosimilars and other large molecule 'generics?' These are much more complex than these small molecules, and it doesnt bode well for their future if we can't even get small molecule genetics up to par. I do think its doable though, and I'm glad that there's work out there like these articles bringing attention to the issue.
> the misapplication of the word "engineer" to software developers.

Is it? you didn't say how it's misapplied.
An interdisciplinary survey of network similarity methods
That makes a lot of sense. I had to upgrade to a newer 5 GHz router because the 2.4 was impossible to use, and I do live in an apartment complex. Thanks for the insight.
This anti-systemd meme is getting tiring. I generally find it is perpetuated by people who use Linux at a hobby level. Rarely do I speak with guys in Ops who dislike systemd. I am not trying to discredit people here, there are hobby users who are more knowledgeable about Linux related systems than many guys who are professionals. My point is that Linux and systemd are both meant for use on servers, in production, where speed and consistency rule.

I manage 3000 Linux servers and 20,000 services running on those servers. When I log into a machine and am welcomed by a RHEL6 motd I groan, because sysvinit is not enjoyable to use, it takes longer to reboot those machines, and tracking down logs is a chore.

When I log into a RHEL7 machine I am not elated, but I am glad to know that pid 1 isn't trying to make my life harder.
Perhaps one of the reasons for this is that software doesn't allow humans any way of leveraging our evolved "danger detectors".

It's hard to make a safe building, and it's hard to make safe software. The difference is it's (often) incredibly obvious that a building isn't safe the moment you step into it. In software it's sometimes pretty much impossible to tell the difference between a stone temple and a house of cards.
I want to build a few web apps. How is it possible if quit?

Is there any other option to build web apps except coding?
What made you put "solid" in quotes when referring to metal objects? I ask because i was looking at Markforged's "Metal X" printer and thought the final products looked fantastic!
Well the US could for example put up trade barriers that are costly enough for China to change. Of course it might not work due to lack of US political will, or strong Chinese political will, or any number of reasons, but it's not like nothing is possible. I'm not necessarily saying this is a good idea, but it's not like this is some magically impossible problem to solve.
That FBI investigates crimes. NSA/CIA do... other things.
What I'm most surprised by is the caloric difference doesn't seem to be that significant despite weight gain reflected. Looking at the test results, it does seem that there's a most significant difference in the insulin levels, which tends to be an overriding hormone. There's only a 34kcal difference per day on average, meaning that it should take 100 days or so to make a pound of difference in weight, but in the study it was 2 weeks.

There was a difference in about 2-3g in carbs mostly from additional sugars. I'd be curious as to how much of that component was fructose specifically. Also of interest would be if any alcohol was consumed.

This does seem to add a lot of credence to the insulin/glucose model which has gained a lot of traction (tail wagging dog) in the lchf movement. Would be interested to see additional studies on eating windows (IF) for more/fewer meals in a more controlled environment over a similar two week period. Would also like to see more studies over time that included/grouped for insulin resistance and type 2 diabetics.
When you take away about half of the food supply from China, do you suppose a few people are going to go hungry?
But I read on these very forums, by prominent posters, that the only reason we were skeptical of Theranos was that we didn't want to see a young woman succeed! What happened?
Sadly the article doesn't mention any complaints against TechCrunch/Oath's non-compliant consent request.

I've looked into how you file a complaint with the UK information commissioner about that sort of think but there doesn't seem to be a way unfortunately.
Maybe it is rather to create entrance tunnels into existing caves. Because of low gravity on Mars, lava tubes are expected to be enormous.

If you've ever had to deal with the previous mess in all its unbridled impurity, you'd know why Dijkstra cares about the purity of the process. The answer wasn't to use GOTO a little bit less, or a little more carefully. That wasn't going to work. The answer was to eliminate it, root and branch.
Ah, I had heard of NVScene, but sadly I’ve only recently moved to the Bay Area. But I’ll have to keep an eye out, to be honest I wasn’t aware it ran at all since 2008, somehow (younger me was more interested in demoparties than older me, evidently.)
> Yea I have a ryzen5 and was shocked that it wouldn't boot without a graphics card.

Quite a lot of motherboards will do the (I think) "three beeps" which means it's detected a missing graphics card.

But if you leave it to go for a small while (20 seconds?), they'll continue on after the pause then boot/run without problem.

Never Take the Meeting: How I Tried (and Failed) to Infiltrate a Mentorship Cult

Discord is experimenting with a searchable servers list. But in my opinion, the fun part of these group chats is that you have to seek them out or get lucky enough to know someone in them, or have friends with whom you can form them organically. I wouldn't want random internet strangers drive-by chatting in my friends' group chats – that's why we talk there and not in the comments on social media.
I don't believe you can install the play store itself, but Spotify should work. You would have to manually side load it, or install the yalp store which will manage fetching and updating play store apps for you.
The legality of the incident relies upon the notion that a camera's telephoto lens could be mistaken for an RPG.

Watching the video is enough to dispel that.
You don't need special hardware at all to read punchcards now that I think about it.

It would be a machine vision project to build a punchcard reader that takes images from a camera, flatbed scanner, etc.
> They have a track record of labeling serious bugs as non-issues, ignoring them, or just not filing them as CVEs. Serious issues keep coming up.

Additionally, this is not likely to stop, since they took an init system that was (mostly) written in a memory-safe language (bash) and rewrote it in a memory-unsafe language (C++), thus enabling a whole class of systemic security issues that will keep popping up in the future over and over again as well. This is one of the design decisions behind systemd that irks me the most.
I want to offer an alternative interpretation on the "be yourself" mantra, because I think there is some wisdom there. You first have to "know thyself", which is difficult, because I don't think introspection is natural to our monkey-brains. Our minds, with all of the peculiar characteristics that have emerged over human history, make it difficult to evaluate ourselves accurately, in the same artists have a hard time judging the quality of their work, even if it is phenomenal. After that, you actually have to strive to be yourself, and you'll likely face resistance. You've got to be creative when dealing with that, and I think the tips posted help in that regard.

I've been toying with the idea that you must attempt to live according to your principles and values, else there is inevitably be unresolved psychological tension. I don't want to get into examples to prove my assertion right now but brainstorming could be done.

Of course, this doesn't tell you what principles and values are right or wrong. Is OP right to want to be more confident? I don't know, but he believes he should and thus, stress. CBT could help. What I am fairly sure of, is that these problems won't resolve themselves until beliefs and actions start to align. So... "be yourself"
> Are you asserting

You need to stop constructing straw men, too. I asserted what I actually wrote. And Lennart Poettering asserted that

back in 2015. I suggest that instead of arguing fallaciously about something that you tell us you have only just learned about, that you go and do that reading.
lol, dont be so naive.

As someone who has hired many engineers, management absolutely sees coders as a commodity.

Like 99% of sites currently, yes.
I agree that it’s a bad article, but problems with generics aren’t new or shocking.

If you’re on generic hypertension meds and monitor your BP, you’ll find that your pressure will vary when manufacturers change. Usually it’s minor, but I’ve seen cases where there is significant variance.

Your quest for a large impact is noble, but I encourage you to think more locally. Consider your community first, because it's where you have the most direct levers for change. Hell, you could have a book club. You could write up an e-mail to your friends with the climate policies of relevant political candidates, "just FYI!".

There's a middle ground between "I'm buying local produce for myself" and "I'm quitting my job and chaining myself to an oil tanker."
I guess one of the problems that seems to be cropping up in pro sports that do testing is that traces of other drugs appear in unrelated drugs do to the equipment not be thoroughly cleaned between batches. Seems like an inspector / cheapening of production issue more than a location issue.
Vitalik Buterin’s secret: How to store your seed phrase
It makes sense to pursue technologies that can pivot from expanding humanity's potential to simply guaranteeing survival. But only the former is what people are going to want to hear about, while the latter is where we seem to be heading.
AI on Android and iOS: Benefits, use cases, and developer environments
I was a bit surprised by the conclusions as well... the abstract chart looks to be close to a 500kcal difference, but the chart is 34kcal difference. a 500kcal difference would account for the weight difference ~7000kcal over 2 weeks, but not 34. About the only really interesting numbers, to me were the insulin levels at around the 120min mark.
Especially since the 'Right to Rent' law came into effect, you have to be able to prove your income source among other things.
One of my biggest concerns about systemd is the ownership. Sure it is open sourced, however RedHat has a lot of pull on its maintainers (Soon to be IBM). What is to stop them from dual licensing it or close sourcing it. They have lots of products like that (jboss/wildfly...spacewalk/satellite). After everything runs on systemd the ball in in their court. Sure people can say they are going to fork it, but in reality how often does that work out (I concede are some examples where it does, X11, nextcloud, etc.).

In my paranoid mind I can see Redhat commercializing it and adding features to it for only paying customers after they win through attrition the monopoly on the OS (after systemd incorporates everything, resolvers, cron, ntp, etc...). They are first and foremost a business with investors and a bottom line.

Again not an attack on system itself, just my untrusting and paranoid nature (to many years of security scans and cve’s and users, can’t trust users)…
That’s a disingenuous argument.

eg. in 2019, nobody is ‘forced’ to give their data to Google/Apple/Facebook, but actually avoiding those companies entirely is extremely difficult/nigh impossible.

Not engaging with China as a market or producer is practically impossible for many companies. When the choice is (a) give up your business by handing your IP over to Chinese competitors or (b) give up your business by losing access to critical supply chain/logistics, then that can be correctly characterised as ‘being forced’.

I haven't done any SLS printing myself, but from what I hear the final products are kind of "porous" in a way.

There's the metal bound in plastic that you print, and during the sintering process it removes the plastic, but it can't get all of it out. The parts end up being either slightly porous or still having the binding plastic in it.

I hear they are still extremely solid for most use cases, but technically they aren't completely solid metal.
Your characterization of the incident could simply be wrong, legally speaking. Were those first responders, or merely enemy combatants helping their fellow enemy combatants escape? Are soldiers required to let wounded enemies escape? What if they're not in uniform? What if innocents would die?

It's very possible that it was completely legal under the international rules of war (Geneva Conventions, etc), whether or not you or I like what happened.

And I'm well aware that many other unfortunate and illegal things happened during the Iraq War. I referenced Abu Grahib. But the topic here was scoped to U.S. gov crimes exposed by Assange.

Edit: I did actually write "questionable incident" and that's what I meant there, my mistake.
Hey there,

Could you please explain your use-case? Depending on your use-case, there are multiple solutions that fit in different use-cases.

Plug & Play Solutions:

Matomo: It's basically on-premise Google Analytics, it stores the data on Mysql and provides pageview & event metrics. (https://github.com/matomo-org/matomo)

Countly: It's the extensible version of Matomo on top of Mongodb. While storing the raw data might not be their best bet, if you're looking for event analytics dashboard with pre-built features, it's definitely worth trying out. (https://github.com/Countly/countly-server)

Self-service Solutions:

Snowplow: It's an enterprise level event analytics solution. It's really extensible and it supports many different data-warehouse solutions such as Elasticsearch, Redshift, etc. but not that easy to learn & maintain. (https://github.com/snowplow/snowplow)

Rakam: Similar to Snowplow, it collects and enriches event data and stores it in your data warehouse. We support Postgresql, Snowflake, and Prestodb at the moment. Unlike Snowplow, you send the event data without defining the schema, we generate the schema on the fly for you which makes it similar to Amplitude. (https://github.com/rakam-io/rakam)

Disclaimer: I'm the maintainer of Rakam.

Growing up I though of NPR as a bastion of the left but the older I get the more cynical I become. Your take reminds me of the most infuriating story I heard on NPR about Amazon Seasonal workers.

They spotlighted a retiree couple would supplements their income with it in the winter and drives south to gamble in the summer and it just sounded like a profile of a charmed life, somehow I imagine that isn’t the case for most people who work there...

They have monthly fundraising drives where they ask listeners to pay up for fearless journalism but a lot of it sounds like it was written by and for entrenched industries.
