If you are going to force a minimum drain rate, please make sure you use a large enough monitoring period. With the patch in "The curious case of slow downloads", once 60 seconds have passed it starts checking download speed as often as every second, which is really aggressive. If you have a slow connection that's not super-stable, you're still going to get kicked, even if you're well over the minimum drain rate on average. An average of some kind over 15-20 seconds would be a lot more appropriate here.

> They're being lied to.

If the lie is obvious many people will look away out of greed. There's a saying that if you deceive someone then at some level they wanted to be deceived, and while that's pretty self-serving for the criminal there's also a fat grain of truth in it.

> The fault for this lies entirely on the shoulders of the criminal.

Well, technically yes but in reality people are willingly dumb, which rather abets the criminal, no?

This is a perfect example of how Stallman ultimately is an authoritarian. He wants all the freedom to do what he wants, but has no problem with his "free software" vision limiting the rights of others.

As someone else pointed out, "what about proprietary HTML and CSS?"

Stallman has no ability to recognize the need for others to protect their own work, he only wants his free access to the fruits of others' labor.

Don't want to run proprietary JavaScript? Then bite the f'ing bullet and don't visit websites that have it. Don't expect everyone else to conform to your wants.
This would explain one post rising quickly while another fades. When people are actively flagging, however, that's an entirely different, much more insidious action.

That presupposes knowledge of more than one universe to even start to enumerate the possible parameters deciding the set, and without a sufficiently complete sequence we would be unable to determine all of the possible parameters, or how they can change.

E.g. even given that we know, say, gravity exists, we do not know if or how its strength varies in a set of infinite universes. Based on a sample of one universe, it could be constant or vary in an infinite number of ways.

Its quite true look at the Mess Cameron and Johnson have created and all the other PPE Oxbridge grads.
Even without using EM to communicate, and assuming we don't need intercontinental radars [1] anymore, a lot of our regular activities do emit EM. What we find weird is that we only see natural EM sources. If a civilization were to reach 2 or even 1 on the Kardashev scale, we ought to see some non-natural emissions.

Of course there are a lot of assumptions there, and lots of hypothesis to explain it a way, but that's the crux of the Fermi paradox: there is something to explain away

I think older netbooks such as the 700 series could find a new use either as IoT or VoIP terminals and other non demanding tasks, by fitting them with just the bare minimum OS to run a single full screen application. Not that different from the LibreElec distribution whose motto is "just enough OS for Kodi".

Example: a 701 paired with an external good quality audio card plus Jaaa [1] might become a small useful standalone instrument for audio alignment (generator + spectrum analyzer).

I first posted a Show HN about AlgoDaily six months ago when it was just a daily coding challenges platform. Since then, it's pivoted to a complete solution for devs looking to break into software engineering, solving problems that still afflict non-traditional developers (bootcamp grads, self taught developers, career transitioners) when preparing for interviews:

- Lack of Guidance - for non-traditional developers, there's so many resources but few that are well curated and provide adequate hand-holding.

- Lack of Visuals - I have never been able to sit down and read a programming book for long stretches due to how dense and dry they are. The goal of our lessons is to make them as easy to follow and visual as possible.

- Procrastination - a daily email keeps you in check by giving you exactly what to read or do each day.

Open to all feedback!

Frankly, I think that is a situation where Microsoft just voiced what was common practice in many places in the industry. I've worked on a variety of both commercial and widely-used open source software projects and in all cases, GPL-licensed code was forbidden after consultation with counsel because of the limitations it would have imposed either on the company itself or on the users of our software.
How about using a server?

So, if I understand you correctly, OLPC went in with a constructionist perspective and it didn't work out? This is hyper-relevant to what I'm working on, so: did a proper theoretical constructionist framework fail you, or was underestimating the role of teachers the main problem?

Did engaging Nepali teachers give any insights in the above?

> 99.999%

the numbers are not that bad, consider someone asks me to write them a tool for them to manage their electronic store inventory, tasks etc. I am the developer the shop is the client, I get paid and they get the programs and the source code. This is what it should be and not land int he situation where you get a change later and you don't have the source code.

Or someone hires me to write a program to apply a filter for an image, this program will run on my client server , because it runs on a server only my client will have the source and because the users won't run it on the browsers I do not need to send them a copy of the source.

Anyway there are more jobs where you are paid to write software and the client also gets the source and does whatever he wants with the code, as long as all users that run the program can get a copy of the source then it is free software. you don't have to make the code public on Github

He's a rape apologist and a serial sexual harasser. That matters more than anything else he's done in the past (and I'm an Emacs user). He should not be invited to speak anywhere, and discussion of anything he says or does should acknowledge his indisputable misogyny.

Re: 1 and 2.

Given that there are vendors that use FreeBSD for their appliances, they really don't want to have to send out techs to customers sites to fix things. So when the appliance makers choose hardware, they talk to component vendors about quality.

It's no surprise that you see commits from Intel and Chelsio employees in the FreeBSD logs: companies like Netflix, Isilon, NetApp, and Juniper partner with them to make sure things aren't buggy.

These collaborations lead to point 3.

I often feel the urge to interrupt, just to get thing moving faster, but I don't want to be the smart-ass who is always interrupting with "I know, I know". So often times I pretend that the presented information is new to me and give the other person a chance to shine. It's not always easy and here and there I blurt out "I know", because I feel that they must be thinking that I'm dumb, or because I don't want to give them the pleasure of being the first person who enlightened me about this thing. But there is some upside to playing dumb: after he has finished talking, you can comment about the subject with some unexpected wisdom, as if you just came up with it.

I don't mind if people interrupt me, as long as they stick to the subject at hand. But I hate when someone just cut's me off mid sentence and starts talking about some totally unconnected stuff. I usually see the interruption coming. They nod impatiently and I see that their mouth is already preparing the sentence, waiting for a brief pause in my flow, not hearing a single word I'm saying.
Thank you very much for the SOCK_DESTROY. I have completely missed its addition to the kernel.
Have been running our API on Gateway/Lambda for well over a year now, having migrated from EC2. We've spent almost no time "managing" API gateway, monitoring or logging since the initial setup and migration of our infrastructure.

If you are managing API gateway or your logging it's a failing on your initial setup and design, not on Serverless.
I think the reasoning of the Fermi paradox is that "at some point in time" a distant civilization must have been using EM wave to communicate. Now, considering the number of planets, it must exists a civilization in the universe that sits at a distance that let us sense this EM dominated past. And this even if in their own local time, they use fancy new tech. Even if they were not trying to communicate with us per se. Their own radiation should be measured.

Ok so I decided to check it empirically. Behavior is indeed platform-dependent.

Linux: after shutdown(SHUT_RD) all blocked recv() calls unblock and return 0. But the other side can still send data and the recv() call will still read it! It is just that after shutdown when there is nothing to read a recv() call immediately returns 0 instead of blocking.

macOS (and BSD, I presume?): The read buffer is discarded and all subsequent recv() calls return 0. If the other side sends data it is discarded.

Unfortunately I have no Windows machine around to try out.

Now, maybe someone can clarify, given such wildly different behavior what is the intended use case for shutdown(SHUT_RD)?
I meant to say this in another post I saw the other day about serverless. Serverless is mostly hyped up by marketing sure. But the benefit is not in just running a Function as a Service.

The real gem of Serverless is that if you're using a cloud say for example Microsoft Azure (I'm just more familiar with their offering) you can have events triggered when: a new file/blob is added to your Azure Blob Storage. Another case and I know there's likely a none cloudy way of doing this: when new records are inserted into a database you can run a function. It's cronjobs on crack that will only fail in your code usually, I've never seen a failure of an Azure Function getting triggered, can't speak to other cloud providers offerings.

Yes I agree, it's a lot of marketing hype, and it's even dumber IMHO that they emphasize on the RESTful aspects, and not the useful cronjob like aspects that save you time on figuring out when and how to work on something as it hits your cloud.
Perhaps, but if we discovered a mechanism that was orders of magnitude more efficient or higher bandwidth then any rational species would just naturally use it to replace EM communication.

I mean just imagine some alien engineer trying to use EM for a new mobile phone system when everyone else on planet Glerbulon is using DE. The other alien engineers on the team would be like “wtf are you using photons for? Are you nuts? Just use an off-the-shelf unobtainium link. Here I’ve got one in my pocket.”
I believe the firmware was OpenFirmware, which is FORTH based and actually rather nice.

I wonder if it's true, Why Tanzania hide this information.

It's not like their economy is based on Tourist and it will hurt the country

"Tanzania’s GDP in current prices was USD 57.4 billion in 2018, making it the 3rd largest economy in East Africa after Kenya and Ethiopia, and the 7th largest in Sub-Saharan Africa (source: World Bank). The leading contributors to Tanzania’s economy in 2018 were construction (23%), followed by trade and repair (11.1%), agriculture (10.7%), manufacturing (10%), information and communication (9.5%), transport and storage (7.3%), mining (5.2%), and others (23.1%).

The strongest model I have for understanding the world is that your prefrontal cortex is a simulator that is always predicting. When something occurs that surprises you (like a glass breaking in a restaurant), the anomaly diverts your attention to the sound source so your visual system can feed more data to your model and rationalise the event.

But when something happens that contradicts your model, it means your model is wrong, and this causes severe anxiety (cognitive dissonance). This explains why people get more upset when things don't go the way they expect than whether or not things go badly or well, which is why managing expectations is such a high priority for project managers. It also explains why autistic people who struggle to abstract and get upset by social disappointment rock themselves: to create a signal they can predict. Otherwise, the bottom of your world falls out every time someone moves their cheese - like a baby throwing a tantrum when they drop their favourite toy before they have a model of gravity.

Now, why would people want to get drunk together? I think we want to test congruence and resilience in a vulnerable situation. The better a person can predict your social cooperation in a variety of contexts, the less bandwidth they can afford to devote to modelling your actions, which might otherwise pose an existential threat. Once you have mutually compatible models of cooperation, you can safely turn your backs to each other and work on solving external problems without causing internal anxiety.

But being predictable also means you are vulnerable. If you can be modelled, you can be manipulated. So we crave a certain "predictable chaos" from our friends, partners and co-workers. We want someone self-aware enough to follow the rules, while pleasantly surprising us in ways that expand our mental territory without invalidating too much of the existing foundation. A quick way to upset a drinker is to turn down free drinks at a bar at night (but not in the middle of the day). It forces them to re-evaluate their model of the world - and, people hate doing that, especially drunk people. The same is true of questioning people's religion.

Incidentally, this is also why you dream and have nightmares, and seek out horror movies when things feel stagnant. Your mind is exploring your survivability in a bunch of threatening situations that could arise, and learning from them without dying.

There's lots of developers who are working on products targeting Windows today (for momentum, their customer's requirements, etc). Those devs encounter Windows bugs and generally workaround them. But if instead they could patch them and/or provide patches upstream, it would be a huge benefit to them and likely some benefit to Microsoft as well.
