You could use the message bus to post a message to the service that handles out of memory decisions, which in turn could either

1. Show a GUI with a choice

2. Show a message on the current terminal and ask what to do

3. Just return "kill it now" if there is no interactive session

And if there is no such service, just default to 3. The problem really is that the state cannot be captured and communicated to the user. I doubt the NT kernel itself shows a GUI window, it's probably a service that gets woken up by a kernel exception, which in turn shows the window. Basically, the Linux kernel needs more pluggable functionality for user interactions. It's absolutely fine and even recommended to not have an entire GUI in the kernel, it needs to just provide a mechanism for userspace to capture the event and decide what to do with it.

You should join the gitter channels to get to the heart of the project. "They" want it to be a community effort, to build the libraries and apps and connections. There is a lot of energy focused on supporting the community effort. The top level is about community and standards (and an "enterprise" service that plays along, but that's fine as long as it's not exclusive, which by definition it won't be). And it's a slow project, so there are some unanswered questions, but many new solutions along the way. So the whole thing moves as a front, rather than one peak.

Since it's so focused on standards and relevant use cases (shared preferences, calendars, activities, annotations, etc), if you spend some time there you'll start to see solutions developing that support and transcend what we do today. True interoperability at a very fine level that doesn't depend on one entity, doesn't violate privacy and trust. But it takes some strategy and participation. That's another reason I like it, being a person of the 90s internet (which has easily carried me to any project I care to participate in), before the startup hype, where it was about invention based on shared possibility rather than a mania to get rich no matter the effect, but now with more focus on security and experience.
The fees are variable with congestion, sure, but in practice are very low, and even when “high” are less than what some people are mentioning the retail cost of a single one of these new fed transactions might cost (routinely, not congested).

Also, you cite speed, but Bitcoin transactions confirm sufficiently in the usual case in 20-40 minutes, where two hours is the upper bound you mentioned for the new fed system.

Bitcoin is also functioning today, isn’t censorable, and is transnational. The new fed system isn’t due to be operational for years, and will only serve a single country with fewer than 4% of humans living in it.

I think you are exaggerating the downsides of code that is working and providing value today.

These things all happened. But a huge part is simply that people live in suburbs built at a time when people could afford cars. So they did. Just as their grandparents moved out to districts served by streetcars as soon as they could, for the same reasons -- affordable floor area, cleaner air, less noise.

The central part of most EU cities is pre-1914, when cars were a curiosity. And for decades after that, cars were nowhere near as affordable to citizens as they were in the US, because the US was just much richer in (say) 1960.
It's a pity, because he has a few interesting projects like:

* Rackjure: "Provide a few Clojure-inspired ideas in Racket. Where Racket and Clojure conflict, prefer Racket." https://github.com/greghendershott/rackjure I don't use it, but I think it's a nice idea, and it show how Racket can be used for multiple programming "frontends".

* Travis-Racket "https://github.com/greghendershott/travis-racket*" https://github.com/greghendershott/travis-racket Travis don't support Racket directly, so his package is very useful for testing without having to study all the details about the naming and download addresses of each version/variant, I use it all the time.

I see the whole Spectre/Meltdown/etc fiasco as an interesting tradeoff: you can have higher performance if you don't care about those side-channel attacks, which is what a lot of applications like HPC are going to do anyway because they don't run untrusted code. That still gives Intel an advantage.
Certainly email lists as a discussion medium were always doomed. ;-)

I remember taking part in the first mailing list (1973?) on the ARPAnet, which was, appropriately enough, about mailing lists, hosted by BBN. Flame wars sprung up day and night, even with only a few dozen people.

Email is just a reflection of the humans that use it, so, sure it's a disaster, but still quite useful.

Another Muenchener here, and I second ensiferum's take - Sbahn is significantly worse than Ubahn, in all measures. ie, if you want to go to the airport, you always schedule an extra hour, just in case you get dumped out in Ismaning or Unterschleissheim (with the confidently delivered excuse "dieser zug faehrt nicht weiter") and need to uber / wait for the next overly full train (whose signage may or may not be correct).

On top of that, unexplained, sudden, irrational waiting time extensions until finally 'zug faellt aus'.. really? if the train doesn't exist, just tell us so we can make other plans now and not in 30 mins. Besides, the posters communicating all of the recent schedule changes due to work are horribly complicated, written in long essay form when all they really need to say is what stops are out of service when (how non-german speakers navigate this nonsense is beyond the imagination). On top of that, the MVG's recent absurdist claim that all schedule changes will be conveniently available per MVG app :DDDD riiiiight... if you read the thirty page long yellow text!
This is why you need a nice, long, uncommon, misspelled last name.

Yeah, but that only works if you view your citizens as your "property" that works for you and doesn't move in and out of your country. If you view them as autonomous agents that move between jurisdictions to optimize their benefits in their current situation it doesn't.

For example (as a German citizen) you can go to university in Germany for free and move to a low tax country afterwards for work. When you are old and fragile you come back and use the healthcare system since your foreign insurance becomes too expensive (I'm not entirely sure about that loophole, but I heard it existed).

Of course there is some friction involved (friends, family in the home country). But which percentage of the population has to act rationally for the system to become unsustainable in the long run?

Most countries haven't adapted their policies to the reality of globalization yet. I fear some might go the way of the former GDR and try to keep their citizens from leaving. I heard even the US is doing something like that, it's said to be quite hard to get rid of a US citizenship (and the IRS).

Your simile is terrible. I'm not one of the parties, I'm like a third party who watched two children be treated differently and pointed out the inconsistency.

And my point is simple: YouTube should have a consistent policy and enforce it fairly, not ban haphazardly when they feel like it. What you call "whataboutism" shows that the policy isn't enforced consistently or fairly.

I don't know why that's hard to work out when I said it in the first post.

> More importantly, no single language will allow you to...

That's one of the reasons why P6 is actually a braid of languages, plural, rather than a single language.[1]

> most systems I have worked on ... Some things would have been easier, some others harder [using a different language]...

That's another reason. The braid (which languages are mixed together), the braiding (how they're braided together), and the strands of the braid (individual languages) in the standard P6 distribution, are all mutable, evolvable, forkable, mergeable, via a principled, governable mechanism.[1]

cf Racket, except that P6 adopts the position that s-expressions aren't a good default syntax for most of the core code; macros aren't a good default approach for building up the majority of higher level constructs; automata other than turing machines need to be taken into account; and it all needs to be suitably version based so that various versions of languages in the braid, and of modules written in those languages, can peacefully co-exist.

If you take this advice, you'll run straight into the famous Innovators Dilemma (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Innovator%27s_Dilemma).

And, I have personally experienced at least one counter-example to this advice. Your product can be pushed into a direction that meets only one person's needs, and confuses everyone else.

This is fine for a personal tool, and deadly to a tool that wants to be widely and frequently used.

Free advice is a risk-free way to get others to test your hypothesis for you.

I’ve been having MBP exclusively for 12 years. It was quite rare for a HW issue before the touchbar generation.

My touchbar 15” MBP has been entirely replaced once. Had everything but the bottom case (which I believe has no components) replaced twice. Screen and logic board replaced twice. Power AC adapter died. Keys stuck frequently.

If you buy an Apple MacBook you should consider twice unless you live near an actual Apple Store. Repairs in Bali (no Apple store in Indonesia) take 6+ weeks. I’ve taken 7 international return flights to have mine repaired because it’s my primary “professional” work device.

Another thing that’s a strange Hw decision. You can no longer remove the SSD and place it in a USB adapter. Apple put some proprietary socket on the MB so they can access the SSD in case of logic board failure. It failed on both occasions they tried to use it for me.
The main point behind the two currency system is to prevent money laundering. You can only convert offshore to onshore via state run banks. This also has the side effect of making it easier to control import and export flow thereby inflation.

I posted this article I wrote a while ago on another HN posting:

It uses plain links (no JS) for the social buttons, and writing that article was actually what urged me to remove social buttons from my site.

Shariff is cool, but there's really no reason to use JS just for some social buttons, so what I ended up doing was just using its CSS and visuals and nothing else. This has been working very well, the buttons are fully functional (even with JS off!) and quick to load.

I wish Shariff had a no-JS mode.

You're right, mean aggregates don't mean much in this situation. The USA is too diverse of a country. NYC people commute by subway, and walking. Sure it's a long commute but you have ample opportunity to stop and do other things on the way home. If you live in Montana, you can commute home by car, in 10 minutes. But in Montana you are stuck at home, once you get there. What is needed is a 'happiness of commute' index.

For this reason, I'm not sure "high-expectation customer" is a good term.

It also doesn't capture this part well: "someone who will benefit the most from your product, whether they realise this yet or not". If they don't realise it, their expectations are zero.

Maybe 'high potential benefit' would be a better term ("HPB customers").

If you can make your message visible to thousands of people or (tens of, hundreds of), instantly, for free, I don't think it's playing with the same rules anymore. It's a huge societal breakthrough. Freedom of speech was not an interesting idea before the printing press happened. The internet is another step beyond the printing press. It will require a lot of human thinking and debating before the internet is able to adapt and improve society like the printing press did.

China and Russia are often saying that western societies are vulnerable because freedom of speech, but it becomes true only if the internet exists.

I personally think that online hate will force society to work on the cause of hate, so in the end society will be more cautious about hateful ideologies, but we might also work on poverty, lack of education and mental illness which are often the cause of hate speech. The population will naturally become more aware of the implication of their extreme opinions, and learn to moderate their speech to let other answers happen.

In the end I think we're already benefiting a lot from the internet, it's just that the problems it create are more visible.

The problem is malignant anonymity and online trust. Once the internet is more focused on local problems, people will stop behaving like invisible ghosts and will be polite again.
>Agree with take off and cruising, but landing is magnitudes more complex, at least much more difficult for humans. Do you have a source that this is reliably automated?

I believe all modern airliners are capable of fully automated landings as long as the airport supports them. To the point where automated systems can land in zero visibility where pilots are incapable of doing a manual landing:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrument_landing_system#ILS_...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoland

These systems are so precise I've read they had to add a random factor to the landing location as the planes were all touching down on the exact same spot and damaging the runway.

This has been the case for a long time now. The landings are all still initiated by the pilots but there doesn't seem to be any fundamental technical reason fully automated flights couldn't be done today. But since we still require pilots to handle failures it's best to keep them in the loop instead of dumping a broken state with a huge workload when the automation happens to fail.

A helicopter's rotor has a complex control system that has you changing the pitch of the rotor blades and the angle of the rotor disk, with the rotor behaving similarly to the wing of an airplane. Quadcopters usually rely purely on thrust for control. For example to bank, the motors on one side spin faster (more thrust) and the motors on the other side spin slower (less thrust). If you lose a motor, or lose the ability to control a motor, you lose the ability to control the quad.

In comparison, a helicopter will have a clutch that can disengage the rotor from the engine and let it turn freely. The pilot still has the ability to control the rotor, so she has some control during the autorotation. At the end, just before landing/impact, she will perform a flare, using the rotational energy in the rotor to slow the helicopter's descent.
