> don't they also have some corporate raider type as CEO who's totally cashing in on running this chain into the ground?

Institutional Investor tried to answer that question in http://institutionalinvestor.com/article/b1c33fqdnhf21s/Eddi.... Their take:

"… ESL hasn’t lost the entire $1.5 billion it invested in Sears and Kmart equity. Including the gains and losses on the major spin-offs, dividends, and interest income, it appears that loss was narrowed to about $624 million. Adding back the $2 billion in gains from hedge fund fees would give Lampert a net profit of approximately $1.38 billion. And that’s not even counting the uncertain value of his $2.6 billion in Sears debt, with its liens on Sears real estate, among other items."

Industry consensus is that no one would have chosen to make this investment if they knew what the next 10 years would look like, but given those abysmal results, he did far better than any other stakeholder.

Can someone link the list of packages that needed to be ported?
I get the impression from this thread that newly ported packages won't be included in the next testing release, but hey, there's always unstable.

> The Tesla firmware wasn't very big at the beginning, [...] the firmware has grown, leaving very little room for the logging to take place. That means individual sectors suffer from lots of data being written in a short amount of time, further accelerating the wear.

My understanding was modern flash memory wear levelling would swap regularly-written and seldom-written sectors around, allowing for even wear across the disk even if it was 95% full all the time. Is it established that Tesla doesn't have this feature?
You're assuming the range of possible parameters is very large. This might not be the case.
Receiving high quality backlinks from .gov sites can dramatically increase your website rankings, but actually getting those powerful backlinks is a monumental task.
Although there remains some debate over the true value of .gov extensions with Matt Cutts stating, “Google doesn’t treat .gov or .edu domains any differently,” most SEO professionals feel otherwise.

Google may not view them any better than .com. .net, or .org, but the authority factor .gov links hold gives them extra SEO power.
While Google won’t give a definitive answer regarding the power of .gov links, they are considered to be the holy grail of backlinks because they are established and trusted sites.

TCP connection (usually) is not a good test
Are there any widespread test given in schools that are proxy IQ tests? Mensa accepts older ACT and SAT scores as they consider the current versions to be knowledge tests but older versions to be intelligence tests. Not sure if this is still the case but at one time all high school students in the State of New York were required to take the SAT prior to graduation. While not representative of the entire population, it would have been a good representation of the high school student slice of the population across the entire state. Perhaps that would have been good enough for some uses.
the problem with this is that he repairs laptops from people who don’t know how to take care of them so the problems he’s repairing will likely never be a problem for someone here. i’ve never once had any of the problems in any of his videos (or even a problem at all). he sure talks shit about apple like they’re all junk though.
his "operation" process seemed to just be "sell off assets".
> It means I know where the switches are, and more importantly, what they do

Does that mean you would never be comfortable with with a complete UI overhaul?

> The new UIs change with every minor update

I completely agree that this is a problem. And this part of my biggest issue with Windows 10. They're constantly reworking the new UI for what seems like micro-optimizations, but they're mostly ignoring the old UI. Not only is it a headache for users to keep up with new paradigms every 6 months, but there continues to be two areas in Windows to control system settings, one of which is hidden pretty well, and the location of settings between the two is continually changing. It's a nightmare.

.NET Core, on the other hand, is pure gold. It's fast, it runs everywhere, it's well document, and it's a joy to work with.

Which leads us to Visual Studio, which is becoming like Windows. Constant tweak updates that break things. I stopped installing '.0' releases, beacsue they're consistently broken.
At a high level, there are reorganization and liquidation type bankruptcies.

Some companies get into trouble with debt, are victims of economic winds or otherwise get into trouble. But the business is fundamentally still viable. So the company declares chapter 11 bankruptcy, is able to break out of unsustainable contracts, and the suppliers take a haircut.

Other companies are just done. So they declare chapter 7 bankruptcy, sell off anything of value, and pay out creditors based on the judge/bankruptcy trustees order.
Hopefully the video evidence will force a breaking point sooner than "your word against mine", but, like you, I'm not as sure as I used to be.
Mac users are nuts! I don't know how they can get anything done.
same here. I still prefer the old control panel. They hid everything behind "usability". I'm sure for a lot of people it's more usable, but for me it's just more painful.

Are you aware of any longitudinal studies on the effect of wireless internet (or even electricity in general) on human health to prove your point?
Well, they were cheaper because the industrial revolution was basically the British inventing the textile industry.
> Why would you put ZFS on a laptop? How many drives can you fit into a laptop?

Checksums, compression, snapshots (so easy and fast incremental backups using send/receive).

ZFS is much more then RAID. Also, even with only one drive we can increase our chances a bit using copies=2.
As someone very unfamiliar with a Unix, it's an interesting learning experience. But I would have prefer to know earlier the existence of the on-hover command documentation: perhaps add a button next to each commands that would show the same documentation; that would help people unfamiliar with Unix to know what they can do.

Also perhaps a canonical/best practice answer for each question could be educational, perhaps with comments explaining why, again to help the newcomers: there's a bunch of valid answers, but I feel like there should be a better (or at least more elegant) solution.

There's an interesting if not politically correct theory that

>Jews as a group inherit significantly higher verbal and mathematical intelligence and somewhat lower spatial intelligence than other ethnic groups, on the basis of inherited diseases and the peculiar economic situation of Ashkenazi Jews in the Middle Ages.

as

>During the [...] period, laws barred Ashkenazi Jews from most jobs, including farming and crafts, and forced them into finance, management, and international trade. Wealthy Jews had several more children per family than poor Jews.

I'm half jewish genetically myself and there do seem to be differences between the jewish and non jewish relatives kind of along those lines.

I was ready to rant about my own experience with MBA students put in pseudo management situations who can't iron their own shirt or couldn't schedule people's hours at a Wendy's... but then I realized this article is about Elite programs.

So I wonder are the Elite programs significantly different than other programs?

One of my biggest problems encountering MBA students released into the wild is that so many have limited life experience. It's really hard to explain to a fresh MBA guy that you can't schedule people only when it is convenient for him / how to cultivate personal / professional relationships / how to just theorize customer's responses to various changes (like thinking beyond saving 1%) and etc. It's just so hard to teach folks who haven't the experience these things that being a good manager isn't just pulling the mechanical leavers of management because "i'm the boss" and how to really understand what leadership is when they haven't experienced it much from the other side.

I haven't encountered many from the best programs and I always wonder if they require some REAL work experience where they had real responsibility first / etc.
It would also be good to know a high level timeline of all these visions. Otherwise these visions will just be visions forever. For instance, https://wiki.dlang.org/Vision/2018H1 directs to https://github.com/dlang/projects/milestones but both there seems no updates since April/May 2019.

I don’t see much wrong with rewarding for outcome. That’s how adults seem to work - your boss praises you for getting stuff done, not for being bright or putting effort in. You have to avoid the trap of only praising for PERFECT outcome, rather than incremental steps towards perfection, but I know I feel best being praised for a tangible thing I achieved rather than intangible intelligence or effort.

(Well, some bosses try to praise for effort but I’ve always found it to be really patronising or a barely-disguised attempt to get you to work overtime.)

Ultimately the problem is that many people are happy to believe what they want to believe, and no amount of video or audio evidence will change their mind about it. There are sometimes people who just need to be convinced, but the way things run these days, those people usually aren't the ones in power.

Pervasive video recording means we get to see more of the day-to-day atrocities being committed but that doesn't matter much in most cases because the people in power already knew and don't care.
I've been using .NET Core since RC1 and first deployed to production when version 1 was released.

From what I've seen, all new projects are being done in .NET Core, and legacy apps are not really being migrated over. .NET Core 3 might fix a lot of these issues, but in the past there were a lot of library unavailable in Core that you could only use in Framework.

I haven't had a recruiter mention Framework in over a year now, I don't believe. It's all Core now.
I've lost faith in industry funded research. After all PFOA and GenX got approved for use in teflon and that stuff is most definitely toxic.

This is just fearmongering; misrepresenting and oversimplifying the truth to the point where all meaning is lost.

- There's no distinction between the different types of systems involved.

- Human problems are blamed on the system (A lack of human support isn't the programs fault)

- Individual stories are used not to underline broader evidence, but meant to be the evidence ("a man died in india, therefore all computers are evil").

- There's constant generalizations. It's not "some algorithms", it's "the algorithms" that are being blamed. (Ctrl+F shows the word "some" appears just once in the text FFS)

I don't know if the author is satisfied with this article; if they are, they should be fired.

"On December 20, 1790, water-powered machinery for spinning and carding cotton was set in motion in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. Based on the designs of English inventor Richard Arkwright, a mill was built by Samuel Slater on the Blackstone River. The Slater mill was the first American factory to successfully produce cotton yarn with water-powered machines. Slater was a recent English immigrant who apprenticed Arkwright's partner, Jebediah Strutt.

Samuel Slater had evaded British law against emigration of textile workers in order to seek his fortune in America. Considered the father of the United States textile industry, he eventually built several successful cotton mills in New England and established the town of Slatersville, Rhode Island."

Two other things I discovered while working on this, which I find are not advertised enough (I added a mention about them to the RustBridge material):

• You can bring up a specific book with `rustup doc --book`, `rustup doc --embedded-book`, `rustup doc --nomicon` etc... (use `rustup doc -h` to see the list). Yes works offline too.

• It should obvious because it's right there, but I somehow totally missed it, and so did the few people I mentioneded it to since: There is either a search box or a symbol on every single `rustup doc` pages. It works really well and typically allow to find what you're looking for quickly. And yes, it too works offline!
Around the same time you visit a developing nation and realize how ridiculous you sound, probably.

I laughed out loud at "200 erotic romance novels" :)

Of course you're right about that. But the conclusion should not be "continue rotting away on social networks", the conclusion should be "read 200 good books".

Or even just 2 good books would be an improvement for many people.

The private equity leveraged buyout play by the cash and value extractors.

Careful leaving too much cash or value creation lying around, the extractors will come seeking it, and take it if you aren't vigilant.

Sears lost that battle long ago. In an alternate dimension, a value creator is in charge of Sears decades ago, and there is a nice competition of Amazon, Walmart and Sears in that place, making pricing even better for consumers. In our current dimension, Sears management got too comfortable counting the beans.
yes it just happened that I didn't run into a similar situation at work (mostly because I didn't work)

that said personal relationships have the same issue, you feel like something could be done but people resist even considering your inputs.. which gives me the idea that most people want to be heard first rather than have solution brought to them
The current problem though is that it requires all your code + all the dependencies to be under $GOPATH/src. https://github.com/golang/go/issues/33655 starts with: "At this time, the godoc command is only able to display packages that are located in a GOPATH workspace."

it depends on the frequency of use of the mac. i’m in the same boat, just reversed (rarely touch my gaming windows pc but use my mac daily) and every time i boot the windows machine there is an update. most of the time windows needs a reboot as well. so imo the issue is the frequency of windows updates is higher, and has a higher chance of needing a reboot after the update.
This is technically an interesting bug, but the implications are very minor. The only situation where this can be exploited is when you allow a user to execute something as any other users except root. This seems pretty obscure and probably affects only an extremely small number of configurations.

Pretty much all the headlines I saw on this were overstating or stretching the impact.

Here in the UK, IKEA promotes Fika as a concept and offers a discounted hot drink/cake combo in the cafe.
FWIW, the decisions on what not to port that I'm aware of seem to make sense.

WCF, for example: Its a legacy technology that is also horribly complex and never really took off. It was never really a good solution if you wanted cross-platform RPC, and therefore has a userbase that doesn't overlap much with the people they're trying to attract with .NET Core. If you're trying to migrate to .NET Core in order to go cross-platform, you probably want to be migrating off of WCF, anyway. And if that's not true of you. then .NET Framework 4.8 probably still suits your needs, anyway.
There simply isn't any excuse for this behavior. Even if you stretch what is on the video and say the cameraman ran in front of the vehicle (and I'm not), the CBP officer should have stopped and helped the man. To just drive off is criminal and should be punished.

Because if you need to branch based on type more than a few times in your function it can get pretty hard to read. Am I right that the basis of your complaint is that it's now harder to find all the members of (what you'd call in C++) the "overload set" for a particular function? If so I can see your point.
Thanks. Do you have any specific recommendations on WiFi LED bulbs that you've liked at that color temperature range?
last i checked microsoft still doesn’t have scheduled boot times (granted this would likely be a bios setting on windows boxes) so i’d have to leave my PC on overnight to run the updates. it’s a bandaid, not a fix for the update problem.
Naming files by date solves the "2019" problem. It helps with the "three weeks" problem...just some math in the head. My advice is don't delete pictures. At the base level it's work and everyone is fallible. Photographically, the reason is that your opinion about better and worse photographs will evolve over time. You will learn from your mistakes. But you can't learn from the mistake of mistakenly deleting and image. Just file everything.

All things being equal, tags are beneficial. But time spent getting good at tagging comes at the expense of time spent getting better at making better pictures. In terms of tagging, give yourself years to get better at it. Five years from now, going back and sorting through pictures of your child won't be a horrible chore. It will be a joy.

I strongly recommend getting a printer and printing your best pictures. Printing will help you take better pictures. And even mediocre prints are better than anything on a screen.
Great, now we just need a huge increase in six sigma and kaizen morons!
The strangest part of mission control is when you drag some window thumbnail, all of the thumbnails get smaller. If you keep doing this, they get infinitely smaller and smaller. The first time I saw this I thought it might be a bug, but after a few years it hasn't been fixed and I wonder if there is some reason for that.
One of the nice things about Rider, though, as opposed to ReSharper, is that it can be run as 64-bit, and you can control the size of the Java memory heap, rather than being jailed inside the 32-bit devenv.exe process.

Visual Studio with Resharper chokes and dies pretty badly when you get into large solutions with 100k+ LOC and many projects. For years I've been seeing problems when memory usage gets close to 2GB, and the editor and intellisense starts getting laggy and unresponsive. For whatever reason, it is really bad if you have web applications with JS in the mix, to the point where I have resorted to just running WebStorm in parallel to do any front-end work.
Yes, but the comparison in the comment I replied to talks about "the Norwegian sandwich":

> Compared to other sandwiches the Norwegian sandwich seems to substitute protein (less meat and cheese) for more saturated fat and carbs (an extra slice of bread, butter on the bread).

It's meaningless to compare to a "single sandwich" anyway, because e.g. the bread size will vary dramatically depending on country. I live in the UK now, and the slices used for sandwiches here are often 50% or more larger than what I'm used to from Norway.

But especially if talking about the amount of protein relative to carbs or fats, I don't think it's very different - each of those three slices of bread gets their own slice of meat or cheese. And not by any means everyone will use butter, while you'll get plenty of sandwiches elsewhere (e.g. UK) that are buttered.
My guess is that they tried to make money on it. Failed. And tried to minimize their losses.
I'm not sure exactly what eMMC part they are using, but the SDHC spec doesn't explicitly require wear leveling. A part could implement it, but it's not a given.
