> The disconnect here is that you are either ignoring what goes on in these forums or actually don't know.

My claim is exactly that the situation is as bad as it is exactly for this reason! You can argue this way with everything, if you let a problem fester enough it become easier and easier to claim there is no solution.

> There is a reason that there is now far more right wing terrorism in the west than from any other group.

On the other hand Antifa, who routinely attack minorities and passerby, is often heralded as the defender of justice.

The difference in banning policies for the left and the right is obvious and with non trivial effects.

Honestly I am more worried about how mainstream media is fueling this point of view and turning a blind eye to people calling for political violence.

I do not think I will be able to better communicate my point. There are many factor at play and I must admit that I am not good enough to adequately order them into a coherent argument with enough evidences.

On this topic I rather trust Tim Pool, he is a journalist that often cover this kind of topics.

I provided the Go community with a long menu of "Requirements to Consider for Go 2 Error Handling" [1].

Sadly, the Go team apparently decided all of it was just too involved, so they picked the minimalist try().

"the luxury of being protected by the US"

Protected from what? From the White Walkers?

Who is there to attack Canada (besides the US itself)? The Great Britain is trying to return the lost colony? France is thinking about taking over the Quebec?
Piracy is essentially "walking out of a situation".
Is 'Audit Startup' is similar to watching all the YT Playlist or more to that?
Solid analogy. In the case of Systemd, it was fixing problems for me that I never had, and creating problems that I'd also never had: It broke laptop sleep. It broke /etc/rc.local. It broke domainless local DNS lookups. It broke boot on one of my servers (fstab's new nofail argument? really?) And it (soft) broke a keyboard of mine. A keyboard! Astonishing.

I really wish Debian had not drunk that particular kool-aid. :'(

I'd go somewhere else but Debian (and by extension Ubuntu) have been doing binary package management the longest, and for me it really shows. I want these boxes to just sit there for years, be extremely low maintenance and only pick up security updates, and I've never gotten a better experience anywhere else.
Ancestor post said "lie detector". A polygraph test would be a separate thing entirely. I'm not entirely certain why you thought to link them.

The lie detector in the regular process is when the federal employee investigates whether the answers on your questionnaire match up with public records and in-person interviews.

The polygraph is security theater intended to intimidate the subject and possibly reveal previously undisclosed issues by provoking a stress response. That's why they keep using it.

Sure, FreeBSD. The whole "braindamage" is still available, of course, but you can use anything else if you wish. Everything is conveniently available as both ports and packages, so you don't need to mess with installing things by hand.

MLIR is going to be orthogonal to C++ performance. You're talking about the efficiency of an intermediate representation. But that IR turns into TF opcodes, which then need to execute natively.

You can achieve the same efficiency in C++ via a custom TF op. You end up with native instructions either way. And you have access to the entire memmapped model in the op, allowing you to do as you please.

You're only debugging in one place, because the same C++ code runs during training in your notebook that runs during inference on your device.

You're getting ease of implementation and usage of Swift. But your code will be less portable; you won't be able to run the same model on Android or on the server. And there's not necessarily any performance benefit over doing the same in C++, definitely not if your kernel is simple.
> Work is not a replacement for a social life, and there are more ways to develop one now than ever. And, the social load from people who do their social life at work is actually one of the reasons I prefer working from home: I have only so many spoons to spare, and I'd rather spend them on people I chose to associate with. Those might, occasionally, happen to be coworkers, but even then I'd rather socialize in non-work context.

I understand your point but I wonder if working with people who you would socialize with even outside of work makes work more enjoyable?

From my rather limited experience of working, I've found that in the end the thing I actually work on matters a lot less to my happiness than the people who I do the work with. Alternatively, maybe I just don't like working as much as other people do?

I'm starting to think when looking for a new team I should really be seeing whether I will like my coworkers instead of whether I'll like what I'm doing.

Conversely, on Titan, we won't need to worry about heat sinks as everything is kept at ~94K in a bath of liquid and frozen methane. Perhaps in a few hundred years AWS's most popular region for intensive compute will be under Titan's methane sea. High spin up cost, but cheap super-conduction environment once you're up.

"Tolerating" might mean experiencing the normal levels of cancer, which is 2nd only to heart disease as a leading cause of death in the US. If we take a given amount of radiation, then, assuming the linear-no-threshold model, spreading that radiation around a giant population does not decrease the number of deaths induced.

Strong encryption was illegal for years. It didn't stop people having strong encryption. If they make it illegal for American companies to make software with unbreakable encryption then that will leave the door open for companies in other countries to fill the gap. The best algorithms are all public so it's not like it would be that difficult.
I can't speak for everyone but I haven't worked anywhere I thought top level management wasn't making wildly misinformed decisions out of desire to save money or (seemingly) straight-up misunderstanding of their business. A lot harder to be engaged when that's the case.
I wanna say Scrivener exists - or at least it did in the first place - because it was a "scratch your own itch" kind of project.

Yep! So long as somebody stands to benefit (profit) from artificially high rankings, they'll aim for that, and try to break the system. Those with more resources will be better able to game the system, and gain more resources... ad nauseam. We'd end up right where we are.

The only way to break that [feedback loop](https://duckduckgo.com/?q=thinking+in+systems+meadows) is to disassociate profit from rank.

Xi doesn’t have more power because of the term limits removal. But the fact that he was able to get the term limits removed was a public display of the power he has accumulated.

And the way he has done that is by imprisoning and killing competitors to his power. The fact that he could even contemplate bringing the term limit up indicated that he was certain at that point that there was no one to compete with him within the party, who would protest the term limits removal.

I've been playing around with a similar concept for the last year or so, with contexts like "On the go", "Have / Do not have internet connection", "Access to work intranet", etc., and whether a phone could do a good enough job of determining whether you're in a collection of those contexts.

Thanks for pointing me at OmniFocus, it looks really cool. Unfortunately, I'm an Android/Windows guy, and I doubt the Web version is going to be good enough at contexts for it to be worth it for me... :(

Why don't they at least allow "if err" rather than "if err != nil", i.e. allow error values to be truth-tested?

I don't think I've seen that suggested anywhere, which is surprising to me. I guess it's fear of scope creep, of allowing syntactic shortcuts that might be ambiguous or dangerous in other circumstances? But I would have thought it could be restricted to error types.

Yeah at least here around Milan the silver lining is that there's some kind of breeze and it's not super humid. During the night you can sleep if you keep windows open.

Sure, take your binary, use some markov-chain expansion to yield a human-text seeming expansion and then compress that with standard efficient compression. The results shouldn't be that much larger than the original compressed then encrypted binary. Most large text gets sent compressed around the net anyway.

I hate to be "that guy", but in their enthusiasm I think the writers forgot to account for the "what is this?" demographic. I know what OSM is. I understand that Google Maps tracks me to no end. I'm curious what exactly this is in a nutshell, and it would be good for one of the early paragraphs. It looks like a UI on top of OSM, but this wouldn't be the first. I assume there's something else special here.

I appreciate any work in this area. I like the idea of a self-hosted map, if indeed this is open source to that extent.

First, police officers conducting a search do not need to present a warrant; they can certainly ask for you to volunteer access. Companies that require law enforcement to provide a warrant may be obligated to do so by some kind of data protection legislation, but I doubt this is generally the case; more likely, we would consider this a courtesy to their customers.

I'm not sure if you're the one who downvoted me, but dude, the "workflow" that I was responding to was not YOUR workflow, was it? I was specifically responding to someone who said there was "no way" to connect an iPhone to a USB-C MacBook, pointing out they were just flat-out wrong. You can make that connection very easily, with no dongles involved.

I'm sorry if you thought I was making some blanket statement that all workflows are absolutely wonderful under all circumstances on laptops that have moved to USB-C, but I also don't think that would be a remotely fair reading of what I wrote.
If people put there own needs first you end up with a selfish group that doesn't serve society only themselves. People believing in an abstract idea can rally society around important causes.
The analogy is ridiculous though. Let's take the opposite stance and go to its logical conclusion:

1. Government should not be able to examine thoughts with mind reading tech, that's too private

2. Therefore, since computers hold our thoughts today in 2019, government should not be able to examine computers with tech, that's too private

3. Therefore, since diaries held our thoughts in 1925, government should not be able to examine diaries, that's too private

4. Therefore, since cave paintings held our thoughts in 30000 BC, tribe chief should not be able to look at cave paintings, that's too private

The latter may lead to some registrar problem, and the former would be fine, but I'd recommend the format following `fn@surname.countrycode` or `fn@surnamefamily.countrycode` (or even with a `-` in-between `surname` and `family`).
We’ve moved over to Keybase from Slack last year.

1) Works surprisingly well

2) Search was previously an issue but now fixed

3) Having a shared drive is great

4) Not having a spell check or giphy integration is awful. I get why because the non-local ones leak data. But it’s still terrible.

Will stick with Keybase.
No, I don't think the distinction between ingestion and external exposure is fredley's point. Indeed, a fixed amount of radiation is much more destructive when ingested.

But regardless, that's not the point I'm disputing. I'm disputing whether "the radiation has been reduced to background levels" necessarily means the negative effect of the radiation has been made negligible. Rather, assuming the linear-no-threshold model, the number of radiation-induced deaths will not decrease.

There are a fewer drivers needed these days as interfaces become standardized. Most stuff uses a standard USB driver for example.
FWIW I was a die hard Linux user for ten years, and I usually never ran a desktop environment in favor of tmux and vim. About a year ago I started a new job at a dotnet shop and had to switch to Windows. I dreaded it at first, and I still do have to fight the OS to preserve my privacy, but overall I am loving it. Vscode with the new wsl extensions and vim bindings is the best IDE I've ever used, and the new terminal emulator is amazing. The upcoming version of WSL will be shipping a full linux kernel, and having the software library of Windows with the productivity of Linux is a win win as far as I'm concerned. Using so much closed source software makes me feel yucky, but I've never been more productive. YMMV.

You’d want to look at the market fundamentals carefully: if that company has high fixed costs and lacks strong customer lock-in, problems with satisfying customer needs, etc., you might reasonably think you could pick up customers with better pricing or support.

A great example is Uber: they’re dominant but they have a ton of debt and neither their customers nor, especially drivers, have a reason to stick with them if the money is better somewhere else. They could conceivably make that up through superior logistics but if you thought you could do better, say in a particular geographic area where you can get drivers who know where anything is, it might be reasonable to compete if the absence of such a huge amount of debt gives you enough leeway to support an app development team and treat your drivers enough better that they’ll favor your clients.

Considering that his experiment failed, I'm not sure how he can still claim "Quite honestly, it is entirely possible to live completely without a GUI (more or less)—even today, in 2019". Maybe it is true, but he hasn't demonstrated it.

I would have found it more interesting if he had focused more on how you could efficiently use cli etc, instead of finding most gui-like ncurses clones of popular applications.
Abstract

>We use lab experiments and field data from the Dutch Math Olympiad to show that women are more likely than men to stop competing if they lose. In a math competition in the lab, women are much less likely than men to choose competition again after losing in the first round. In the Math Olympiad, girls, but not boys, who fail to make the second round are less likely to compete again one year later. This gender difference in the reaction to competition outcomes may help to explain why fewer women make it to the top in business and academia.
For me, "acceptable" implies full control over updates, among other things. In that regard Windows only got worse.
Their system's update behaviour would only be justified if the updates were absolutely perfect on all devices. They aren't, not even on their own Surface hardware.

And after one of the updates started without even giving me time to close files and then proceeded to completely wipe my system drive I can't see me using Windows ever again unless drastic changes are made.

I fail to see the supposed "quality of a sustained commercial endeavor" here.

I think the demand for remote GUI apps went down, for several reasons:

- Web apps got better and more common

- Windows (and MS SQL Server etc), which are some of the big OS-level reason for using remote GUI management tools, has improved its command-line management story and added UI-less server editions

- Network improvements (more bandwidth, more clouds and POPs) made existing 'remote desktop' protocols more tolerable on the Internet, all the way back to the venerable VNC and RDP

What kind of remote UI app/workload do you see as common today?

> It is perfectly acceptable to me.

Most users want a UI from $CURRENT_YEAR, not one that makes them think of Spice Girls songs and AOL Instant Messenger.

> Wayland forces it down your throat, either you like it or not, whereas X11 enables it but doesn't mandate it so if you dislike it you just don't use it.

X11 is architecturally ill suited to a compositing environment. Inasmuch as compositing solutions exist, they are janky hacks that introduce more processes, more context switches on the hot path, and more latency than Wayland, which was based on $CURRENT_DECADE graphical principles from the ground up.

Sometimes you can't square the circle and engineer a general solution. Sometimes you have to engineer for the common case only. For desktop usage, the common case is "user who is used to Windows or macOS and does not want to regress backward in terms of UI". For such users, a noncomposited Windows 9x-like desktop is unacceptable. A broken, laggy, hard-to-maintain pile of hacks is also unacceptable. Wayland solves both those problems, which is why virtually ALL of the hackers working on the Linux graphics stack have jumped ship from X to Wayland. Like it or not, you will eventually be using Wayland too.
