FWIW, this behavior is trivial to disable (though I agree it should not be on by default: I actually had remembered it not being on by default). It was really important for me, as once a month I would accidentally hit cmd-Q and then sigh the sigh of the damned as I wait for what is effectively a reboot of my entire computer (as the only two things I tend to have open are a terminal and a browser).
I was commenting on the comment, and rephrasing a bit for accuracy. That is, if you're being selective about the facts you present and you're not concerned about how solid your position is as a result, then you're not making an argument. Your intellectual laziness should not be rewarded.

Ultimately, you're just spewing bullshit, and in many cases just trying to use to reputation as a (cheap) substitute for truth and fact. Again, such intellectual laziness should not be rewarded.

I'm not sure why we're grown so tolerant and accepting of what so often amounts to raw bullshit.
They could download the stock roms from the major manufacturers, only ship the hashes, and match up library versions that way.
They are a lot of the time in practice. For us, the movement with a little facial recognition change is just a piece of the puzzle. We also added (optional) integrations like Spotify and Slack and are working on more to give other signals.

Overall goal is to help with loneliness of remote work and make people feel more comfortable just starting audio / video conversations with one another.
I accomplished a lot of things before smoking, so at least I kept the rate, but by comparison, I improved, both in results and especially caring less about money and stuff. Not coincidentally, today I save 80% of what I make monthly.

Also, important to note that I started smoke weed after I got financially broke because of a failed startup. That was also when I got depressed, and against all odds and people's opinion, weed helped me get back on track. Every person has a personal experience, but I can tell to the people that ask me at least one great experience about starting smoking weed.
Maybe we can finally unite the Democratic focus on the “little guy” with the Republican desire to hurt the Democratic donor class with the random number generator of the President and get some actual legislation passed here.

So, if there was an option where users could upload personal projects they have completed in the past (not related to courses) to their profile, would that be ok.
IMO yes, but even if US pilots are in average 10x better there still was a chance that you would fly with a 1x pilot and because he would have followed the checklist and crash the plane.

Do you have facts that say that the probability of this happening in US was 0 ?

> But to master the language you have to move to a place where they use it. Otherwise, it is extremely hard hard.

There are plenty of counterexamples to this. Consider Finland, where most of the population is comfortable with English and admirably grammatically correct (though they never really lose that distinctive Finnish accent), but they have never lived in an English-speaking country, and in fact Finns travel in general less than their Nordic neighbors. Learning English does not seem to strike the Finns as “hard”, and if you ask them about the process you often get the usual claim that English is an “easy language”.

Looking around European nations, the key to good English seems to be 1) English in school taught from an early age and with a serious approach, and 2) subtitles on television and films, never dubbing (or, as in the case of Romania in the early millennium, a very active torrent community downloading American releases).
It’s a slippery slope. The first packages with ads just printed a single line of text. Then others started adding more lines, more aggressive colors, and now you have npm ads painting a half a screenful of empty lines with their ad in the middle. Once can imagine an arms race of ever worse ads.

And considering that it’s not unusual to be installing hundreds of npm packages for a single project, the ads would soon render the logging output unusable, giving rise to an arms race between npm ads and npm ad-blockers.

So npm basically had to nip this in the bud, before it makes the ecosystem unusable through the tragedy of the commons.
One lens to view American politics through is as a proxy war between two factions of the American elite. One is comprised of tech, media, and various service firms; the other is finance and extractive industries.

The only really strategy for clipping the wings of any of those industries is to ally yourself with the faction that doesn't represent them.

I am more familiar with Java where the runtime implementations have gone back and forth through various iterations, such as Jazelle and various ways to accelerate Java on ARM, the various Android implementations, etc.

What people think is the best choice of tiers to use is always evolving.

One factor against JIT's is that modern chips and OS want to set the NX (no execute) bit against the stack and the heap which at least forces attackers into return-oriented programming. To JIT you have to at least partially disable that behavior.

You seem to have missed the multiple times that it was mentioned that the "potential problems" have been fixed.

And yes, by the way, we keep potentially dangerous products in use all the time because the benefit of them remaining in service far outweighs the danger. Nearly every single medicine on the market comes with significant, dangerous side effects, but do we pull them all off the shelves and abandon the practice of medicine altogether? No, because that would be stupid.

Diversity and multiple implementations are essential for the web IMO.

V8/Blink/Chromium are not independent community projects, but firmly in the hands of Google. Chromium being the only viable implementation would put too much control in the hands of a single company (regardless of which company that is, Firefox being the only implementation would be just as bad).

It's redundant effort, but it also enforces consensus building and exchange of ideas.

EG Google would have happily stuck with PNacl, but (afaik) Mozilla pretty much forced their hand - with the result being Webassembly, a much better design.

To name one reason: would we have asm.js/Wasm instead of (P)NaCl without Mozilla's work on asm.js optimizations in SpiderMonkey?
Yea, because Google surely will implement and fast track new privacy measures on V8, instead of fill any initiative on this regard in a lot of red tape...
Oh sure, but Industry has also browbeat people into believing the GPL is completely untenable.

I've yet to see an original monetization suggestion in these threads. People have tried it all. Companies and devs prefer to wait for a poor sap to make a free-as-in-beer version and then stiff them on tips.
I own a pre-JK Jeep Wrangler (2004 TJ) - it was probably among the last of vehicles made in this century (for the United States, and probably most of Europe) that match what you're wanting.

Everything is pretty much mechanical on mine; in fact, I think the AC controls are still old-school resistor speed control, bowden cable vent control, and vacuum-assist function control. If you look at the electrical diagram in a Haynes for it, you can see that there isn't much "there" - it's still mostly "switch connected to relay, relay connected to accessory" - everything isn't routed thru a computer or such.

My TJ has plenty of downsides that probably don't affect later versions of the vehicle - high gas mileage being the greatest; spartan interior (there's a label inside the vehicle that says "The body of this vehicle isn't designed to protect occupants in the event of an accident, but is only for protection from the elements"!) - though easy to clean (remove drain plugs, hose it out), so much road noise you have to yell to be heard at speed (again - due to the spartan interior), and a rough and somewhat unstable driving experience (part of that is due to my lift and larger than stock tires, tho).

Unfortunately, due to a number of reasons, it's not only an anomaly - but most vehicles sold in first world markets just aren't built that way any longer. Safety concerns (airbags everywhere!) have mandated for larger vehicles, which meant more dash to stick stuff on and in (otherwise, it'd look odd), CAFE rules (here in the USA), etc. Also emissions and fuel economy mean much more computer control, and more "drive by wire" and for some reason manufacturers decided that all has to be routed thru the entertainment console too.

Outside of the first-world developed economies, though, you'll find those cars you want. But you likely as not can't import them, or if you can, they can't be driven or licensed for public roads. Many won't pass US or EU crash test safety standards, if that matters to you. These cars are mainly built and for the markets in India and China - as well as marketed to African nations (I don't know of any "domestic" African nation made commercially available vehicles - there may be some foreign manufacturers though).

One vehicle I wish I could purchase and drive here in the USA - but likely never will (it likely couldn't be licensed for public roads, but even if it could, it probably isn't something you can purchase in single quantities - at least easily) is the OX:

http://oxgvt.com/

Great off-road handling (for a FWD-only vehicle), diesel engine, build-it-yourself from flatpack, easily fixable, central driver position, extreme hauling capacity - it's like everything I'd want in a vehicle, but sadly I can't own one. Downside is (likely) no AC system - but I could probably hack something in.

I figure that if I ever want a vehicle like that, I'm going to have to build one myself on a small pickup chassis or something.
+1. This past year by workplace has become much more stressful. I've consciously spent more time on self care and exercise (definitely good habits which made me feel better about myself physically and mentally). But that only served to slow the process of burnout; we needed organizational change to remedy the root cause.

You can easily find more. They can just flatly refuse to provide any info and AFAIK there's still no law that would stop them. And as far as I understand there won't be any, because money is power and they create money.

Notice that I'm not saying those are some associated evil doers (or that they are not). Societies, economy, politics, it's all very complex. But I still stand by what I wrote earlier.

The X server is known to be insecure, in the sense that keyloggers can steal credentials from anything else running. But in that sense no OS is particularly secure besides Qubes OS.

The discussion was on phones, there the issues are mostly core Android's lack of updates from manufacturers (but quite good record of Google releasing patches) vs iOS's closed-source buggy OS.

IDK, security is hard. The easiest solution is to get a nice clay brick and smash whatever phone you have to pieces.

> No, because parent poster is talking about ignoring the "arbitrary" food safety dates.

Most of what I buy has a 'best before end' (BBE) date, not a 'use by', which is not a 'food safety date'.

Many supermarkets in the UK are removing BBE dates from vegetables because of exactly this issue (and as discussed in the article) - people blindly chucking food that's fine because the date is yesterday's.
> Has anyone considered that open source / free software is just fundamentally incompatible with capitalism?

Legions, many of which have only recently become aware of Free Software or Open Source.

As far as Free Software is concerned, there is no problem with capitalism. It's only about guarding the software freedoms of the users of software.

"Free" as in "free market", not as in "free lunch".
> Sure, they might have ill-gotten capital in the form of a deed (ignoring the likelihood that there's a lien on that deed) on a tiny parcel of stolen/colonized land or vested stock in the monopolist they work for, but that's a pittance in the scheme of things. They still need to sell their labor in order to meet their needs for food, shelter, community participation, etc.

I agree with you in spirit, that most people in SV and the tech industry in general are truly workers. However, I think the monopolists have been quite clever in offering just enough capital to those workers that they feel like an integral part of the system. Especially as they gain additional seniority, or work long enough to pay off their house, that mindset engrains itself. Add to this the democrats willingness to go after the middle/upper-middle class rather than the true elites to fund social programs, and you end up with an individualistic and anti-democratic mindset.

In a way, 'startup culture' and YC contribute to that perception, giving the workers the idea they can make it big as an entrepreneur, no matter how unlikely that really is. It's manufacturing the consent of the average wage-worker in SV for a system only truly benefits elite VC firms and a very very small number of very very lucky or very very well connected entrepreneurs.

> We need to find a way to reach these folks. Because this thread is evidence that they think they're significantly different from the people without housing they see on the street here every day.

There are a ton of tech workers ripe for class consciousness in the gaming industry, so I think that's a good place to start. I've also had a lot of luck encouraging collective action on individual teams that suffer under incompetent management. Combining a discussion of bad management with the trap of mortgage payments and immigration law has netted me a lot of progress with encouraging a more leftist worldview.

I disagree with the premise that companies don't contribute to open-source. It's a rare open-source library that I don't contribute back to in some way, and that was even more true when I worked at big or rich tech companies. All software has bugs. Half the point of using an open-source library is so I can fix them!

It's also strange to use "maintainers" as the worthy recipient here, since in almost every case I've seen, these people were also working for a big rich tech company, and very well paid already.

The programmer in question sold his last company to Yahoo. He's got a Patreon page (hundreds of dollars a month), a GitHub Sponsor page (at least hundreds of dollars a month, and possibly much more). The software in question is a "JavaScript style guide, linter, and formatter". I don't think any company is "generating massive amounts of revenue" from a JS style linter. The GitHub page has a "gold sponsor" ($500/month) advertisement, too.

The problem with advertising is that (as someone here described it recently) it's an arms race. When anyone starts using them, everyone else will struggle unless they match, and that makes life worse for everyone. Is contributing bug fixes to open-source software, plus the occasional corporate sponsor, not sufficient contribution to the community and ecosystem? What exactly is the goal here? Are we upset that developers don't earn enough money?
Eliminating the Need for Redis Sentinel with KeyDB Active Replication [video]
Is there any part of tech which succeeded and is now a blossoming haven of diversity? I mean, with so many people getting pushed out from everywhere else it should be easy to fill your rank with top talent, no? Given that we have a few million programmers in USA, you'd expect it to be a simple task to get a few thousand of these harassed people together to start something big.

I know there are a few projects with ~100 people, but I am not aware of anything larger than that which is not what we would expect. So the measures we apply today like CoC's seems to have no effect on how welcoming the industry feels to marginalized people.

I was just playing around with Sugar in a VM and it reminded me so much of how the earliest GUIs on a Mac as a kid felt. In general I've been kind of struggling to how to introduce my kids to computing. They're at the age now where they ask about it and see me on the computer and want to be part of it.

Sugar seems to be a good introduction - one of the best that's just not just a normal linux distro with a bunch of edu apps thrown in.

Epigenetic signatures of methylated DNA cytosine in Alzheimer’s disease
I'm not making a moral judgement (FB is a big yikes), just technical. They'd have to:

- build lists of every phone, including carrier variant and internal revisions (pretty common!), to make sure they could be sure they had a complete library

- rely on the manufacturer to publicly post the ROM (cheaper mfg wont do this) (or somehow retrieve the URL from the update mechanism, said URL not easily accessible from userspace)

- handle the multiple different packaging mechanisms that android phones, especially older versions use (Google has gone a long way in remediating this but FB has to support billions of devices that don't adhere to best practices).

- For ROM packages that are encrypted, they'd need to acquire the keys from real devices.

- and they still would not have visibility into non-posted firmware, such as factory versions with day 1 upgrades (aka many many devices)

OR

- grab the files and send 'em
I actually thought this might be a cool solution exactly because of people feeling that way - if you think streaming, for example, or video calls, where you'd rather not like to be streaming your actual face, technology like this might make it easier to convey a more natural dialogue whilst retaining more privacy
