Engineering is evolution.

When a chimp uses a tool, like a long twig, to pull ants out of the ground, it has used basic engineering (tools) to solve a problem. The species advances because of this.
Again with the 'have to compile the kernel' meme...

Seriously, I've been on Ubuntu for 11 years prior and Arch for 3 after that. I have built Linux based supercomputers, and administrated clouds of thousands of raspberry pi edge nodes and I have NEVER compiled a kernel in all that time.
I haven't actually seen / heard many people claim that to be honest. HN at least can be quite cynical. Yeah they'll admit that Teslas and what SpaceX is doing is pretty cool, but at the same time they'll voice concerns about battery recycling, pollution caused by launches, and the threat of locking humanity out of space because of tens of thousands of micro sattelites starting a cascading destruction and debris shield aroudn the world.
This is true more often than not, but in this case web.archive.org just shows a web radio as the previous owner.
I wonder if it would be possible to engineer a stable fixed cyclone of any size from a tiny dust devil to a tornado to a hurricane.
...seriously?

Maybe ultra sparse settlements on a scale as today are unaffordable in the long run? It not just power but also the roads and communication links. Accounting for infrastructure maintenance is not done properly.
The sound followed the flash? How much of a gap was there between them? I would have thought they'd be basically simultaneous if you're inside the lightning bolt.
I have no idea but the FAQ says it's CoW.
You're correct. That's why I put "worlds of abundance" in (scare) quotes - I don't particularly like that term, but it is what the author used. To me, our reality more closely resembles life on Ferenginar than in the Federation.

I'm not against all business relationships, just the proliferation of them. You don't need a relationship with the replicator to use one on Enterprise - just being there (even as a guest) gives you access. But that's Starfleet. I assume that Federation citizens don't need relationships to operate their household replicators either - they most likely own one. And while this is just my head canon, I imagine on Ferenginar you typically rent food replicators from Replicate.ly or some other competing startup.

I'm not agreeing with the author that the "worlds of abundance" need to have everything as services. I'm just complaining that our world is heading this way. Ultimately, I want our world to be more like the Federation, and less like the Ferengi.
I had the same thing happen a few years ago - a flash and a fast, loud bang! I must have flown hundreds of times, but it's only happened once in all that time.

As you said though, the crew were completely unphased, even if there were a lot of panicked looks by a lot of passengers, and a few rather panicked shouts from others!
Yes, you can do that. It's just not native malloc / free anymore.

Of course, you need to be careful about your manual approach. Both to avoid mistakes, but also to actually achieve the performance goals you have.
Why is it a problem here ? It's clearly indicated at the end and I see books as a natural complement to newspapers. I generally dislike advertisement but this seems to be one of the rare legitimate case.
Almost all GUI toolkits work that way, except HTML, because HTML is not designed for GUIs.

For instance look at AnchorPane in JavaFX. You can lock things to the edges or offsets from the edges. You can nest layout managers if you want something different like a table or HTML style wrapping text flow.

In the end HTML is just being abused. It was never designed to be a Flash replacement. If the web was a more pluggable platform Flash would still be alive and kicking for sure, the creation tool itself was lightyears ahead of anything HTML ever had, but the browser makers have killed it pretty ruthlessly. Looks like groupthink to me, tbh.
well there goes a dream, Finnish is also ridiculously hard to learn, coming from English.
And most of the current prisoners are not politicians and have never been.

Regarding the politicians, may these traitors rot in jail. They betrayed their people and surrendered themselves when everybody was on the streets ready to fight.
I run both Ubuntu and MacOS systems in my studio, each functioning as DAW's in various capacities, and I find myself feeling very relieved, more and more, whenever I sit in front of the Ubuntu Studio DAW to work .. everything just works, and with every update the system is more and more of a joy to work with.

I just suffered through an automatic update on MacOS to Catalina - this has been the most painful, idiotic thing to happen in my studio in a long time, and I now feel about Apple the way I did about Microsoft last century, when I abandoned them .. just utterly disappointed, and more the point I feel exploited just so that Apple can update its OS and force us to move onto their next big thing.

More and more, I'll replace the Mac with an Ubuntu Studio-oriented DAW, and then I'll phase out using Macs entirely. Linux is catching up in a big way, especially for use as Audio/Media workstation. Its not 100%, but its certainly better than having arbitrary decisions forced on me by the OS masters in Cuppertino.

(And yes, I've disabled auto-update. Shouldn't have been on in the first place, on this production system...)
I'm most definitely not suggesting we should be using patches instead of commits though. I don't want anything to be logically composed of patches at all. (Physical-storage-wise, they can go wild; I don't care.)
This extends everywhere, including licensing laws and so forth.
> parent of someone who died from this.

So uh, do such people actually exist? The article doesn't suggest that anyone died.
>Yeah, input costs have no effect on whether a business can operate at the margin

They can but that's obviously a rather different question.

>If we suddenly care about what the economic research says, you should do a search for papers that don't confirm your biases.

I have.

>How the fact that raising labour costs will reduce the demand for labour is controversial is beyond belief

Why is it so hard to believe that demand for minimum waged labor is very inelastic?
It's pretty much a fix for squatting.

You get a fair bit of defense for it around here, but ultimatly it's just rent seeking. Keeping younger generations out from having decent name just because you arrived earlier doesn't really promote a healthy web, nor provide real economic value.

Of course, most squatters would respond "I was planning on using that domain", so it's easier politically to just flood us with new ones.

My company name is squatted on several tlds ( by different people, obviously no intention to use them ). The .com owner wanted to charge me $40,000 or $1000 p/m. Fuck that. I used an alt tld.
I'm confused, there was an automatic update that took you from Mojave to Catalina without your permission?

(Not sure why you got downvoted btw)
I do the same with enter, as I like having 2 control keys! enter is control when held down and enter on tap.
It's fast, even when you use generics or metaprogramming.

Compiling the kernel used to be common if you need to enable certain driver or hardware support though.

In all fairness, multi-day power outages are a really rare event in a lot of places. And many households that own an EV also own an ICE vehicle. Also if power is out, you're not going to be able to fuel up either in the affected area.

But, yes, with extended power outages the general shift towards cell phones, EVs, etc. can make the consequences of not having electricity worse. Presumably at some point there will be more single-home panels and batteries that allow for extended disconnection from the grid but we're mostly not there today.
The Federal government does have an online system to file your taxes for free.

Likewise. I've been using Linux since the very early days when compiling the kernel and creating a root filesystem was the only way to use it. I moved to Ubuntu Studio and have never looked back - it has been the simplest, easiest to use and maintain system of all the machines in my purview, by far.

I'm very much looking forward to ditching the Mac, especially after the Catalina fiasco. Ubuntu is catching up in leaps and bounds, and the existence of a distro variant designed specifically for Audio/Video professional use (Ubuntu Studio) is very, very compelling. The Ubuntu Studio guys, as well as the Ardour group, get my monthly donation with pleasure ..
If you are working in IT other technology sector, you don't have to speak Finnish, but it is definetely beneficial to have some skills in local language. In normal life there might be situations where Finnish is necessary even though most Finns speak English quite well, at least younger generations.

I don't get why anyone would want this over a regular domain with which they can do whatever they want with no restrictions.

It's just another way for Google to control and have a say over other people's businesses. For sure we'll see again posts about people having had their product destroyed because Google cut them off with no way to appeal.

That does sounds useful, and I don't know any library that does it.

Reading those long installation commands makes me appreciate Arch's AUR (also available on Manjaro). No curl, no manual adding of repos. Compare ease of installation for yarn by toggling the linux distro:

It's even more pronounced for VSCode.

For the jetbrains tools (including Datagrip), I switched to using Toolbox. It makes updating to new versions easier:

Modula, and then Modula 2, were languages primarily written by Wirth.

But Modula 3 was a project at DEC's SRC with Luca Cardelli as the primary author.

Both Modula 2 and 3 are worth looking at, and both are fully capable systems programming languages (ie. you can write an OS using them).
Author here. Thanks, yes, but I'm basically saying I don't want to do that anymore, and don't need to either these days with Ubuntu :) Perhaps I should improve the working in that regard!
Rethinking REST Practices (2018)
Yes - The update was downloaded automatically, when the machine was shut down for the night, it installed the update automatically on bootup. This caused days of frustration and lost productivity.
If at all, then only as long as they're conducting their business with EU customers entirely from the US. As soon as they're putting servers in a colo in the EU, there's something that EU authorities could confiscate to cover outstanding fines.

To be fair, while some parts of the peninsula saw outages, essentially all of SF City (and County) has had uninterrupted power. Moreover, in the Los Angeles area, neither power outages nor fires have touched the most affluent areas of West LA / Orange County / Santa Monica (besides the brief Getty fire, which triggered a couple of celebrity tweets).

The governor, Gavin Newsom, does have principal residence at his wife's family's house in the North Bay, which lost power, but since becoming governor he's there less frequently.

So the issue is that the power outages and fires really haven't affected the wealthy or tech elite. There's a lot of California outside of those circles.
You need a relationship with content creators that provides strong incentives for them to keep producing non-trivial high quality content.

Neither Spotify nor piracy do that.

This is related to the dependency problem. Dependencies aren’t problematic just because they’re dependencies, but because too many systems are made of low quality work.

If the infrastructure worked absolutely reliably, no one would care about personal file ownership.

The fact that it doesn’t is the problem.

If obeying thermodynamics count, then it counts as a goal. There's a theory that life (and thus evolution too) exists to better dissipate energy.

"England’s calculations suggested that groups of atoms that are driven by external energy sources can behave differently: They tend to start tapping into those energy sources, aligning and rearranging so as to better absorb the energy and dissipate it as heat...

England sees life, and its extraordinary confluence of form and function, as the ultimate outcome of dissipation-driven adaptation and self-replication."

Key point:

> We have no data for prior years from this poll, which was conducted by CARAVAN Surveys in early September with a sample of about 1,000 adults. It is therefore hard to say, based on these results, whether Americans are actually "rethinking" their support for freedom of speech or simply expressing the qualms they've always had.

We know, without shadow of a doubt, that some speech was prohibited 100 years ago, even with the First Amendment.

These include the Comstock Act, which prohibited the use of the U.S. postal system to send items which were obscene, contraceptives, abortifacients, sex toys, as well as information about those items.

While these were overturned, they express a widespread belief that speech restrictions were needed.

Ditto for the horrid Espionage Act of 1917, including rulings like Schenck v. United States.

I imagine that large parts of the population in the 1950s would be for speech prohibitions on communism and socialism.
> Steve Jobs saw the trade-off.

Well according to some folclore it wasn't that straight forward.

It also took a long time and a lot of tries from internal teams to Jobs acknowledge they were onto something. Jobs had the same concerns you mentioned, and some more (accordingly).

And one of the deal breakers for the iPhone to be launched was the Keyboard, where they were predicting which was the most probable letter to be typed and increased the area of the letter without displaying it.

Don't take me wrong, Jobs ended up being the one pushing forward with ridiculous deadlines, high ambitious goals, and, when he was on the train, the vision.
Author here. Agreed, macOS is much quicker to get going. Although if you'd really log all the `brew`s and UI interactions that made your machine yours, it'd still be a long post too : )

But again, if this post is signaling to you: Ubuntu is still no macOS. Then that's exactly what my experience is like. That said, I'm productive on it, and there's things to like even so.
I am trying to improve Nim data science ecosystem with https://github.com/mratsim/Arraymancer.

I think today the best way to try Nim is for slow Python utilities vi nimpy: https://github.com/yglukhov/nimpy

You can also use Nim in Jupyter the following way: https://github.com/apahl/nim_magic

My next step would be to improve interop between Arraymancer tensors and Numpy ndarrays.
There are various reasons in my opinion. People, who were laid off from Nokia, were highly educated and many of them were well-respected in their fields so it is quite easy to lure some new companies to Oulu (Mediatek, Nordic Semiconductor etc.) In addition, people were also used to make business internationally so it was lot easier to start new companies with that kind of experience.
Also funny that it's not so hard to find pedophile material, drugs and people associated with terrorism _outside of the strong encrypted platforms_.

Hang on, that's a lot of lingo to decode there.

Are you saying that people spend a lot of money to buy multiple Steam accounts (that have CS:GO on them), so that they can slowly rotate which account they use for playing, so that they avoid gaining ranks and being matched with players that are as good as them, so that they can keep dominating lesser skilled players every time they play?
There is also htc/hts HTTPTunnel.
Every time I look at fork lightning of any kind, it keeps reminding me of natures version of a depth first search algorithm. If you ever watch a high speed capture of a fork lightning youll see it spray out and as soon as it gets a link to ground, the energy backtracks up that path.
Author here. I'm hearing good things about Arch yes, maybe I should give it a shot one day. And thank you for the Toolbox recommendation, I added it to the post!
Thanks for the recommendations and the upvote. Unfortunately, didn't get any re: cupcakes - I'm based in London but my mentor is in SF.
And even with the current state of affairs, you can certainly find complaints already about PG&E "clearcutting" around their power lines.

Why not? Apple runs their own chips in the iPad and iPhone, with their own OS. Seems to be working out for them.
A browser engine is, I think, the main impediment to most non-mainstream operating systems being "useful" in a day-to-day sense.

It's just a massive amount of work, with literally millions of lines of code required, whereas a basic operating system is easily under 100k SLOC.

Plan9 and Inferno suffer from this.
Haiku suffers from this.
And Oberon is has the same issue.

Some sources seem to indicate that part of the problem is that they took on large numbers of renewable energy contracts which are not really cost effective (and those companies are subsidized using taxpayer money). If the subsidies to the "green energy" companies was instead used for maintenance and infrastructure, that would probably help as well.

How can they own and control the registration and dictate its policy for this new domain (pun somehow intended)? Will it ever be available to other providers to sell this domain with perhaps different rules?
I agree with most of your post, except excluding CIA/NSA from the unethical companies similar to NSO.
In the UK, HMRC take my monthly pay and use it to estimate my annual salary, which is enough for almost everyone. If you get a bonus, you can fill in a field online that says "no this is what I think my income is", and it goes away. At the end of the year, you get a statement of what HMRC thought your income was, and if that's right, you do nothing. If it's wrong, you file.
Actually, I feel like `new` can be a really good command line tool.

There is still a difference between sending actions you selected to the server and tracking where you move the mouse while on the page in your browser or other bs like that. One is required to implement the functionality, the other is not.

And yes, you're right.
Note that even an XPS requires some workarounds, at least on a vanilla Ubuntu installation. They're just a few, however.

Having said that, with the HWE and PPA strategy, Canonical effectively solves the problem of troublesome upgrades. Nowadays one can stay on a LTS for many years, and still have an up to date system.

Of course with the strategy one won't get desktop environment updates, but that's implicit in this choice.

As a small footnote, Linux-compatible machines to consider (but not necessarily preferrable as whole), are the Lenovo alternatives, as the XPS has a disappointingly mediocre keyboard, whose keys bend on the sides.
Also a manual process -- and per user at that...
The pedestrian detection and automatic emergency braking systems are separate from autopilot. They are always on, even if autopilot is not in use. As I understand it, they are different code, more conventional and similar to the systems in other cars, where autopilot is a grand research project/extended beta. As with most things Tesla they are likely to improve over time with OTA updates.

Hi 'm463, you seem knowledgeable about this subject, so I have a few questions. Could you please answer the questions below or direct me to where I can learn more?

1. If a phone is off e.g. iOS’s General->Shut Down, then can it still receive and transmit signals?

2. What is the best kind of cheap case / enclosure for a cellphone that would prevent signals from being transmitted or received? Can I just wrap a cellphone in aluminum foil and place said wrapped cellphone in a Tupperware / plastic sandwich container?

3. What is an effective way for an RF layperson like myself to detect whether or not my phone is transmitting or receiving signals while it appears to be off e.g. RF tool or measurement device?

I just want a way to know and be completely certain that “off” means “off”.
I've been considering doing this for Snapdragon SOCs. I'd probably start with the 855 or the 8cx and not worry about any backwards compatibility with anything other than the latest and greatest hardware.
I'd kill for having a fully consistent copy/paste on Linux :-D

As of today, without any extra clipboard manager installed, if I copy something from the Network Manager GUI, and I close it, the content is lost.
