Good. The last time I tried it was like "you just click... and then the problems just start":

Regarding the problems between the "different filesystems" it was like:

https://www.reddit.com/r/bashonubuntuonwindows/comments/9dkl...

Which was especially bad: what's the point in having it "there" if you aren't allowed to access the files inside.

Also problems with making a backup of that etc. In that aspects using a real VM (e.g. VirtualBox) the situation was much clearer.

So from my perspective it was both worse than Cygwin and worse (or at least not better) than real VMs... I would really like to read if/how WSL improved.

The similar experience was when I've tried to "just install ssh server". The things I've expected to "just work" didn't. Again at the end I've just used Cygwin.
I mean there is the slight difference that the statues intend to glorify the figures they represent, while this mural does the opposite - it's a pointed commentary on slavery and colonialism.

I don't see why. The USA is one of the most corporate-friendly countries out there and is absolutely forgiving of large scale fraud in a way other countries aren't. This corporate friendly approach has also facilitated enormous success, of course.

As for the slavery thing, 1/3 is probably an exaggeration (I don't see how you could ever get data on it because people wouldn't be truthful) but it's also pretty indisputable that the US has a horrific history with regard to race, and that deep set racial problems persist today.
It probably would have been nixed. But now that it exists I don’t think we should go about erasing things because they’re uncomfortable.

That is a distinction without a difference in this context, which is about the Senate abdicating their constitutional responsibilities. They didn't hold public hearings before 1916, that is true (the history of why they even started holding public hearings is pretty controversial in itself.) However, they still held yay/nay votes on the floor for the nominees, in order to fulfill their advise and consent role. McConnell refused to hold a vote, therefore he failed in upholding the Senate's constitutional role on the SCOTUS confirmation process.

How would they possibly rig the numbers on a particulate filter? The cheating was achieved through engine control software selectively disabling parts of the emissions control system when it detected testing was not occurring. You cannot use software to selectively disable a particulate filter bolted onto the exhaust pipe.
I understand what you're saying.

For sure there's a lot of things wrong with this:

- the "scientific" content;

- the approval/publishing of the patent based on such content;

- the news reporting of such content without further research, just for the sake of being a patent and not questioning it's validity in the light of our current scientific knowledge;

- The propagation of such information;

If it's deliberate or fruit of a lot of layers of ignorance, we can't know for sure but there's a high probability of both.

Running emacs in a terminal defeats the entire notion of "without a GUI"

Emacs in a terminal is still a GUI, its just one that is poorly drawn using characters for every cell rather than using pixels. If you're going to use a GUI then why not use one that can render at a pixel level.

Any sort of "curses" interface in a terminal is a GUI.
Leave it to California to figure out how to spend 600k to get rid of a mural. Doesn't this city have more pressing problems to fix?
I'd be perfectly happy to see high-res scans taken. To the extent that people want to preserve art that is now seen as unacceptably racist for children's schools, they can create a virtual museum that provides the proper contextualization.

And we can do that for all art. Given that digital storage verges on free, there's little reason not to preserve every bit of art, from a kid's refrigerator drawings on up. It'd be fascinating to see Picasso's work from his first scribble, for example. And who knows what future generations will make of it.

Sometimes people get so caught up in defending whatever side of some political argument that pragmatic matters such as price go right out the window. They stop thinking practically. The only thing that matters becomes their ideology or what have you.

I, personally, have the exact same questions as you. Come on, 600 G's?

I'll fly out and paint it for half that if you guys really want it done.
I agree entirely. The more tendency there is to push development as an "engineering" discipline, the more evidence based research needs to be used to solidify or disprove certain development dogmas repeated over and over again, which in many cases, seemingly have no empirical evidence beyond a few anecdotal success cases.

This is the norm in the industry, "you're doing it wrong, the best way is this way..."--based on what evidence that pertains to this case or has proven generalized success applicable here?

In most cases, it's someone's successful anecdotal experiences which worked for the specific cases they were involved with. That doesn't mean those approaches can be abstracted away and generalized to all cases, but many in this industry do that regularly and critique others' approaches based on that. It becomes this competitive ego contest: well my work was at x, y, z solving q and was successful--making me an authority on a, b, c's problems solving p because x, y, z is a leader (appeal to authority fallacy)... etc.

It's one thing to treat development as much of an art (which to me, it very well still is) but once you start treating it as a concrete discipline, you need to provide the lyme, cement, aggregates, water... evidence and studies showing approaches and how they faired across controls and varied cases.
Absolutely untrue. The uncomfortability ship as an excuse has long since sailed. This is 100% about either fearing about any claim of racism or actually believing that it's better to destroy art because it shows something that doesn't fit the narrative.

It's' about making history criminal.
Have you considered that density itself is a contributing factor? That's hardly a stretch. Perhaps certain effects will be magnified in cities compared to rural areas or states containing both. And those cities might also tend more toward the Democrat end of the political spectrum. Correlation still does not equal causation. The whole "failed cities are X" trope doesn't suggest any useful policy either, unless you think emulating China's "Down to the Countryside" movement would be a great idea.

I contend that, adjusting for density, places like Mississippi or Appalachia stand as stark counterexamples to any theory that being "blue" leads to failure. In fact, a pretty strong argument could be made that "blue" policies around things like public vs. private goods, fossil vs. renewable energy, or respect for immigrants are the only reason urban failures haven't been worse or more widespread. Believe it or not, Detroit could be worse, and I believe would be worse if certain "heartland" attitudes were more prevalent there. Literal "smoking hole in the ground" worse.

To bring this back to the original topic, the inevitable trend toward greater urbanization therefore means it's even more important to address gerrymandering now instead of kicking the can down the road. Letting the rural few dictate to the urban many will surely lead to heartbreak and pain, no matter what other beliefs are involved.
With TDD, writing unit tests accompanies writing code - which in itself necessities thinking in terms of testability, which is a good thing making the program's components more separable. Regarding the former example, mocking only a single part where it connects to other parts of the system (for example some interface through which it sends warnings to users) is easy and makes the resulting code better (eg, easy to replace the notification manager).
> Though it is fun to rag on C++ every now and again, I believe Google's C++ style guide is a subset of features (classes, no exceptions, subset of boost,..).

Which is the same thing Genode does[1], and it has served them well. Maybe a different language like ADA/SPARK or something else would have been better, but C++ was what they're familiar with, so they made it work. Although I like Rust, it's a bad argument here. Rust has been changing a lot and is still changing, and Fuchsia wasn't started yesterday. And with C++, you could even replace critical parts with formally verified LEAN[1], which has C++ code generation and should be even safer than Rust.

> That doesn't necessarily mean Windows offers a significant value proposition over Linux either.

But as far as I know that is this case. That Microsoft's offering is much stronger when it comes to large scale corporate deployments. Unless you want to make the claim that e.g. RedHat's offering is on par or better, which isn't something I have heard in the wild.

Looking at how people are pissed at subscription apps, "pay forever" doesn't seem sustainable either.

If people ain't paying for newer release (as in old good charge-for-major-upgrades model), maybe that piece software can be considered "done" and it's time to go after another sector?
For some reason Fuchsia has always reminded me of Windows. Or at least what Windows would have been had it been built from a clean slate in 2019.

It wasn't exactly 'new' physics, it was an application of a theory built on established physics. The surprise wasn't that it was possible, but that it was technically and economically feasible.

In almost all cases you don't need to worry this much about performance. Just traverse the array three times and move on. Go measure and improve if it becomes an issue.
I use XMPP with everyone who is willing to join and am available via text, e-mail and normal phone calls for those who don't want to join.

However, it is a bit difficult with phone calls to countries outside of the EU: Sometimes I agree on using an old Skype account, sometimes I use my Nextcloud.

In theory, XMPP could handle that too, but in reality, none of my XMPP-clients has a great call experience (same old 'XMPP-clients need some love' song).

US banks want as little friction as possible on boarding versus European banks. Why would this be? Why are US banks less concerned about fraud versus Europe? One possible explanation could be that fraud may be less prevalent in the US than in Europe.
I encourage you to do that.

In todays world of "throw-away" electronics, there are a lot of devices that I just want to "just work". By the time these are supported on OpenBSD (if I were to implement it), I'll probably be owning a different device.

This is sad, because while I can select the hardware for my laptop, I can't really select the hardware and devices I need to interface with.
/h/ is not really a fricative, though. Linguists consider it a voice transistion.

> > On Windows you have this issue much more often if you are trying to use an older device, in particular if it's one that came out before Vista,

> I think that's a bit of a difference though. Vista came out nearly ~13 years ago, and we're talking things breaking a year or less later.

I'm not. I'm talking about the fact that drivers for devices older than me that have been merged into the kernel keep on working today while on Windows for some subsystems (like graphics or sound) you can't expect things to work after "just" 15 years. I admit that this is a long time, it's still a huge difference.

And yes, on Linux you are expected to recompile drivers for every new kernel version, that's intentional (https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/...). Since the driver API is reasonably stable, the code doesn't need to be adjusted for every version, and if the driver has landed in the kernel, this is done while changing the API.
> Once complete, Equiano will start in western Europe and run along the West Coast of Africa, between Portugal and South Africa, with branching units along the way that can be used to extend connectivity to additional African countries.

I understand how undersea cables are laid, but how do you make use of a "branching unit" once it's at the bottom of the sea? Send down a submersible to plug in the branch? Lift the cable back up, plug in the branch, and lower it again? Do they lay the cable with patch leads attached to the branching units, so you just have to dredge those up and plug the rest of the branch in?
That was sad.
Fixing bug later on get progressively more expensive, I though we had got over the KLOC metric decades ago.

Does having tests make it any different? You would need to test those tests to make sure they are testing the right thing after all (ad infinity).

I think worrying about the alt right is similar to worrying about antifa. Both seem to be fringe minority groups that get disproportionate amount of media attention. I've never met anyone in real life who claimed to be alt right, or repeated alt right talking points.
Yeah, this something I think about. Back in the 80s a friend's younger brother was hit by a car while on his bike. He was in a coma for over two months and his family was ready to write him off, so to speak.

One morning he wakes up and a few hours later his first question was, "why couldn't anyone hear me?"

To hear the story from him was a lot spookier.
I don't know what direction the causal arrow flows here though: it's just as plausible to me that those inclined towards or capable of critical thinking gravitate towards those degrees.

High Res scans are good, but particularly for both a mural or an oil painting, a huge amount of information is lost with a scan, however high res. It's also the case for almost any other medium.

To take oil painting for example: a painting is usually composed of layer upon layer of translucent paint. The way it alters light cannot be captured in a 2D scan, it is a very complex, 3D laminar object, before you even get to impasto technique. To see a Picasso in real life (or any painting) is vastly more rewarding than just seeing a picture of it.

And incidentally you can see almost every scribble Picasso ever made, there's a museum in Barcelona containing much of his early work, including sketchbooks.
