It takes "17 million lines of code in Thing X to do Activity Y" is patently wrong. Many of the lines of code in Linux is dedicated to drivers, drivers which are likely not even loaded. Many more lines of code may be unused this specific scenario, if you are simply reading on WordPress, you aren't using the admin code at all.

The reality is that a miniscule amount of those lines of code is involved in the activity. You can write an OS and stack that could achieve a very specific task (IncludeOS), but then it could only perform that one task. Now that there is 'no wasteful code', how would he record his weekly screencast, or edit it, or transcode it, or upload it, or view it? Everyone would only be able to view text files.

These systems are this complex because there is demand for them to be. This really seems like tilting at windmills.

You can't hire, or even interview, everyone.

In the example, the common shareholders didn't make a profit because the company didn't make a profit. Ignoring the bridge loan for a moment, after all their expenses, the company just managed to make back what was put in.

The hypothetical bridge loan in this case did earn a profit, but it was a high risk loan. The company was going to be insolvent in 60 days and they hadn't yet found a buyer. The lenders got a multiplier because they risked losing their $10 million loan.

This bridge loan certainly could have been unfair, depending on whether the riskiness was worth the multiplier (for instance, if the company took a loan with 100x multiplier, it would clearly be abusive). If that were the case, the minority shareholders could sue and would win.

Not rust, but the OpenBSD folks wrote doas(1).

Also I am not sure how rust solves this bug, I don't think it's about memory safety is it? This is about passing -1 from a config file to a syscall, and sudo not validating the value or it being written without the understanding of what -1 means to that syscall. Nothing is mis-parsed, no buffers overflowed, etc.

Well, it's not always so simple.

If you are in a small team of 5 or 6 people, with less than 100 servers to manage, sure, it's doable.

But if you are part of a very large team of 50 or more sysadmins, with a large infra in the thousands of nodes with various OSes and vintage of OSes (even if Unix only), things can get tricky quite quickly.

First a lot of people will want their favorite tools to be installed which can result in a huge mess of special toolboxes not being consistently installed (different path location, tool set varying from server to server).

Second, these tools, specially the shiny newer ones, need to be built, packaged and maintained properly which represent a significant load, specially across several OSes/Vintage of OSes.

Third, as a general rule, having an install base with as few packages as possible is generally a good thing, on one hand it reduces the surface of exposition of a server, on a second hand, it helps auditing for security vulnerabilities as "dead weight" dependencies (ex: libX11 for an editor which is both terminal based and graphical based, but only used in its terminal form on a server) will not trigger false positives in term of CVEs.
I feel like the only things recommended are usually the ones that are already popular anyway. Management just needs an excusez

>I would love to use Tor but I don't want to touch anything illegal. Ever. Is it possible?

The are 2 parts in Tor - the Tor browser and the Tor servers (relays and exit nodes).

You can use the Tor browser just like any other. Touching anything illegal can happen accidentally on the web, either because a web page downloaded a resource (image, cookie, etc) without your consent or because the definition of what is "illegal" changes from day to day and from jurisdiction to jurisdiction
The font includes both oblique (i.e. italic not cursive) and the cursive versions, so you don't have to use cursive if you prefer not to.

And all email into Office 365. Gets pulled into a sandboxed environment where items such as pdfs, in fact all attachments, are ‘exploded’ and all the links investigated ie executed and checked for malicious end points or payloads. I was in a meeting recently with someone from Microsoft where they explained this (I might be misrepresenting what she said, she was an expert in this field, and I’m definitely not). I was shocked though at the capability of the system to examine content so such an extent.

Channels and private messaging: You can use IRC. It does that very well. (You don't even need a IRC client or any other specialized software; you can just telnet in and that works, and it was actually designed to be able to work without specialized software. However, using specialized software is better because it can auto-pong and can prevent what you type from getting mixed up with what someone else types.)

Share images and files: There are many ways to do this and it can be done independently of the chat system in use. (However, it would also be possible for a IRC client to include such integrated features, sending the URL so that other users can download whether or not they are using the same software as you do.)

Support for some of the automated commands you can integrate with Slack: Unfortunately, I do not understand.
There's two nuances I would respectfully suggest that you're overlooking.

First, KRNC is designed to be employed as a supplement to USD. Most transactions would be executed with both USD and a corresponding blockchain asset. Technically, this is a digital analogue of the "symetallic standard", in which base money is comprised of both gold and silver in a specified ratio. The point is risk diversification: if fiat money implodes, or if crypto fails, you aren't wiped out.

Second, the concept of "intrinsic value" is misleading/confused when it comes to money. Things that trade at their consumption/production value are not monetized. Treating something as money involves attaching symbolic value to it: accepting it as proof of goods or services rendered in the past, and as a token that can be used to acquire goods or services in the future. Even gold would lose most of its value if it were suddenly priced based only on demand for use in industrial applications.

Money has always been valuable because everyone else treats it as money, whatever it is. It's a Schelling point that enables abstracted barter. Nothing less, nothing more.
This is due to the image being inline by default, just needs inline-block. There are other hacks too.

I agree with this. I just feel like it can be achieved without the overhead of Docker. Deploying a .qcow2 image to an `lxc` container seems simpler.

Magnetic domain transtitions are phase transitions, just like the solidifcation of a snowflake. It's not that surprising to me that magnetic domain structure could be fractal, many phase transitions can look fractal in the right conditions, of which water solidifcation into snowflakes is just one example.

Despite the fact that several versions of this story claim this is the "first ever" observation or discovery of fractal domains, it seems to have been reported at least a decade earlier [1], in a similar but somewhat more complex ternary neodynium compound.

> If there is one library in the world you'd think would be impervious to theft, this would be it.

Gotta admit, not really.

> Jay suspected the library's letter had been stolen and put up for sale, which meant whatever was currently in their collection was a fake.

> Jay Dillon: To my utter astonishment, a Columbus letter in the Vatican library was a forgery. And then I went to the Biblioteca Riccardiana in Florence and damned if the same thing doesn't happen again. Their Columbus letter is a fake too.

I think this is an interesting story. But, imagine if all these "valuable" private libraries just scanned all there stuff. Does the original really matter? The data in the book should be enough. Of course it does to many people, the original DOES matter. Because the book is no longer valued for it's contents, but as an art piece.

The most shocking thing to me about this article isn't about the theft stories, but how there is a Cultural Heritage Squad police division. And that they have in possession of the worlds rarest art pieces. One example is in the millions stolen from a private home. Did the owner not even bother to call the "lost and found" or are they the ones holding it? Why aren't the paintings taken care of better in a climate controlled environment by professionals? And WHY is EVIDENCE hung and frame on the wall in the police stations. Something smells here to be frank.

That's actually one of the most important things we've learned about genome in recent time. Everyone knows that the content is important (ACGT, etc.), but what's also extremely important is the way it is packed. Particularly, it being a certain kind of fractal ensures that the parts of the densely packed DNA can go move around as needed efficiently.

> especially if you want to be the kind of engineer who can find the root cause a problem and fix it permanently

In my experience, when it comes to team building, managers usually want to spend just enough resources to have 1-2 members of the caliber you are describing on a team. Once 1-2 are in place, you can add 6-8 mid/junior people who go to those 1-2 when there are the deep/hard problems you are describing.
Go listen to the Rogan podcast where he describes his experience and he makes it sound like he was more than just a storage admin.
More like 4x or 8x the memory (of an ASCII string) if you just use pointers or size_t’s. Abstractly, you need at minimum (n log n) memory to represent a permutation, which is what you’re doing.

DoD's $10B 'Jedi' cloud contract goes to Microsoft over Amazon
Isn't the follow-on question "why do some companies make their workers unhappy, apparently on purpose?"

Aerospace/defense companies until the 1980s had this weird thing where they'd put an urgent date, a "best and final" bid due date or something just after a holiday, so that engineers ended up working during nominal holidays. It was a matter of gallows humor at McDonnell and Martin Marietta.

That's one example, I'm sure there are hundreds more. So, why?
It's not working in a team exactly, but venturing out into your local community and rubbing elbows with like minds daily certainly helps with the boredom of being a dev who works alone at home.

I've been one for over a decade now... and I didn't know how bored and depressed I really was until I walked into a yoga studio earlier this year and began practicing daily.

I've even met a few other developers there to shoot the shit. Turns out there are a lot of people with a lot of time on their hands... usually because they're well off financially and working on their own things... that visit these kinds of places.

How timely. I was reading the Unicode Standard the other day, and realized how this seemingly simple project of "modelling a character with a number" has become a huge, sprawling behemoth over years because they tried to cover every aspect of human language; I'm sure it's going to be even more convoluted and politicized in future, and it will never be complete.

And this brings me two sides of the argument: should software capture every aspect of human life with all of its complications, or humans should change their lifestyle to fit a software framework? This is probably a never ending discussion, and I'm keen to listen to both sides.

In my opinion, you are describing containerization in general, not Docker specifically (which one might argue that... Docker is a behemoth/mess)

Someone in the comments below posted a quote about Snowden's so called "heartbeat" project, so read that to get some idea of why I think he's exaggerating. And on at least two occasions in podcast he described himself as a spy.
This 'algorithm has bias' kind of headline needs to die.

Every system has '''bias''' in the colloquial sense so long as the inputs to that system are not uniformly distributed. The only thing the designer of the system can do is make a conscious choice about which way to '''bias''' the system and be able to justify that choice.

In practical terms it means that systems that deal with diverse populations are always going to be 'unfair' towards some group of people. The only control we have is who that group of people will be. This is inherent and unavoidable. We need to accept this fact and keep it in consideration when designing such systems (or choosing not to design them in the first place).

{procedural fairness, group fairness, utility}. Pick two.
