"Which of my personal information is used for research?"

"Your genetic data and any other personal information you enter into the website, except for your Registration Information (name, contact information, and credit card information), may be analyzed in the research."

It really seems people are complaining because 23andme didn't demand they sign a consent for something they had already explicitly signed a consent to. I, for one, assumed large third-party pharmaceutical companies would have access to the data when I volunteered it. Is there significant risk people misunderstood that? How?

Lazy when it counts.

This mantra that good engineers are universally lazy is absurd. I absolutely will find the easiest way to solve a problem... as long as that problem can tolerate that solution.

IaaS is a minefield and plainly saying IaaS >> barebones is absurd.

Engineering 'magic' is great until you realize you need something slightly different but you are locked into their framework, system, whatever. You then have to spend a bunch to engineer yourself out and end up with an inferior solution when you could've just done it 'simple' the first time.

An early engineer should have zero trouble pulling up an Ubuntu box, installing Nginx and Supervisor and pulling some default configs from StackOverflow. I have been re-using the same config for both for years now.

Purdue is definitely the creator of the American opioid epidemic by lying about OxyContin's addictiveness and heavily pushing it for situations which didn't need it (wisdom teeth) and got people addicted. Read any of the ~10 mainstream books on this like Dreamland or Dopesick.
It's interesting to me that the thesis of Suzuki's 'No Mind' is that what marks the beginning of Chan as a separate tradition and lineage is a de-emphasis or some might say rejection of meditation. This distinction was certainly lost in the West and mostly lost in translation to Zen in Japan (a cursory glance at Suzuki's books prior to No Mind suggests this was relatively new information to him).
>That's fine until you need to distinguish between your/you're, to/too/two, their/they're/there, its/it's, and similar problems. Maybe people think it doesn't matter, or that it won't matter, but it always disrupts my flow when I see errors like that.

That only matters to you because you were taught different spellings for those words.

Consider the word 'read'; it's pronounced like 'reed' when used in the present tense, and like 'red' when used in the past tense, but spelled the same in either case. Does that disrupt your 'flow'? I'm willing to bet it doesn't, because you were taught the same spelling for both those words (and they are different words!)

Now consider the word 'about'. It can mean 'almost', as in "I'm about to arrive", or it can me 'regarding', as in "This book is about...". If you were taught the 'regarding' definition of 'about' is spelled 'abowt', I'm sure you would have added 'about/abowt' next to 'to/too/two' as something that disrupts your flow when misused.
Pretty sure when the tests are green you're just meant to reach for the next sticky note ;)
I don't understand your point. Feel free to elaborate!

If you mean the Roastery example: it is just one example of "premiums" urban millennials add to their expenditures. Short-Renting a car or ubering around isn't cheap in the long term either.

But while I'm at it: Whenever my first-world-native colleagues discuss things like, whether coffee should be made in an Aeropress or a Hario Syphon, for hours, it usually takes a glimpse towards my second- or third-world born colleagues faces to find confirmation, that this is just first-world nonsense.
> scum like Carter Page

All I know about Carter Page is he was falsely painted as a spy for Russia by the FBI and compliant media organizations for several years, even after the FBI knew he had been working with the CIA. Not sure what makes him the scum in that equation.

When I say myth, I mean in the sense that it’s not actually supported by the Tripitaka, which is the first complete written account of Buddha’s teachings by a lineage of his original monastic order (mostly confirmed by historical evidence where it exists) to survive as written to the present day, and considered canonical Buddhist teaching.

It is most definitely quantifiable whether something is or is not written in the Tripitaka. That is why it remains important and historically significant.
Hey, I'm not claiming that JS is Scheme, or that Scheme is defined by closures :-)

My personal "What makes Scheme, Scheme" predates current Scheme implementations by decades. But I go with, "There are five special forms that are essentially axioms of the language, and everything else is made by combining those forms with each other."

The deep elegance of building a rich language on top of a handful of axiomatic features is what makes Scheme feel Scheme-ish to me.

I understand that Scheme has evolved since everything was implemented in terms of the special forms, but still...
What does this mean for the people who bought his book? I bought it on audiobook partially because I wanted to read it but equally because I want Snowden to get paid for what he gave up. To me he is a hero and should be rewarded. The last thing I want is for my money to go to the government.

If the repeal falls through and he doesn't get paid then I want to get my money back for it.

Full term fetuses have more protection than a pet dog, so you're good right? Full term fetuses can't be aborted.

"Late-term abortion" and "full term abortion" are really just right-wing talking points. The fact that those terms don't actually represent any real medical procedure doesn't matter. They sound good.

It's not virtue signaling to say that I don't think that you are making your argument in good faith.

BTW only right-wingers use "virtue signaling" in conversation. It makes you sound like a sociopath. If you prick humanoid type things do they not "hurt signal"?

The weather machine: 100k realtime data requests with autoscaling on Heroku
There might be another one, but I was thinking of the more famous city built on seven hills, Rome.
It'd be better if the lock (Conch, sorry!) was acquired when you request the resource, and automatically released. In that vein, you'd need to write bespoke code for the "pre-production demo environment". Maybe there is something on the machine that lets only one SSH happen at a time. It could use your very cool Conch API to broadcast that to the Conch website so people can check before trying to SSH in. However that custom code is probably to be written by the users not yourself. But what might be helpful is a shell script "conchrun" that will run a command if the conch can be secured, and then releases the conch once the command exits.
I agree. I think the normal, well beaten path of simply chasing money and making friends is the best way to be both happy and succesful.

To me it’s an average life, but mix luck in and you get fame and fortune.
This is a fine and defensible (although not mainstream) viewpoint with several adherents among mathematicians and various levels of success in making it formal and precise.

Actual long term support and stability. It's used in projects which are meant to work for years (medical, infrastructure, power generation, science) and not on electronics meant to be discarded after two years.

I mean, which other distro out there is comparable for these use cases? Even Ubuntu LTS doesn't really fit the bill. The only other OS with long term update commitment is Windows.
A paper trail is less useful to the public when every document is classified. There is little reason to suspect that the FISA court has prevented "wide-reaching fishing expeditions".

I think my wording was unclear. Human rights are categorically worth killing and dying for, but that's not how I would define them.

I believe in natural rights. Human rights must be things that are natural and innate to humans. This is a very Google-able thing, and there has been a lot of interesting philosophy on the topic, but I will try and summarize here.

My core belief is that humans are sovereign over themselves. My body is my own. This is where all rights flow from. If I build or buy a house, and you break in, you are violating my sovernty over myself and my property.

On the other hand, if I force you to build me a house, I am violating your sovernty. Therefore it cannot be my right to have free housing , because doing so would violate your rights to not be a slave. If we mutually agree on terms and I pay you to build me a house, that's wonderful. But saying I have a right to make you build me a house is tantamount to slavery.

Natural rights almost always boil down to force. It is wrong for me to force you to do anything, even if that thing is "good" such as providing me with free food or internet. You and I are both autonomous adults and we can either come to mutually beneficial terms or not do business at all.

> How can you exercise your free speech, exactly, if someone takes away your food as punishment for speech they dislike or if they confiscate your home along with the property you use to communicate?

If someone stole your food or your house, that would be a violation of your rights. Again, it comes down to the use of aggression and force. Are you forcing your local grocer to give you food that he doesn't want to give you? That's theft, plain and simple.

And I feel I need to reiterate: it's perfectly fine if you think the government should provide taxpayer funded medicine, housing, food, internet, etc. But just because you think something is good to have does not make it a right. It's the redefinition and watering down of the idea of human rights that upsets me.

Lisp in general is not the epitome of simplicity. Lisp-2s like Common Lisp add some cognitive load for those used to simpler languages (although Lisp-2s have their advantages).

And of course, Lisps that include meta-object protocols (Flavours, Common Lisp again, &c.) deliver power, very elegantly, but for people unfamiliar with them, there is a learning curve to climb.
Several years ago, when I was CTO of an ML startup, we got slapped on the wrist by NVIDIA -- NVIDIA refused to even service our [very expensive GPU cluster] unless we used Red Hat Linux. Apparently none of the Ubuntu releases were supported distros.

So we purchased Red Hat Linux, the exact version NVIDIA mandated for support, and used that, just so we could get a warranty supported machine. I did learn that a whole lot of "scientific computing" happens on Red Hat or CentOS and not debian distros, though I'm not sure why.

This was 4yrs ago, perhaps things have changed now.
Looks awesome - any chance there is a way to use it in a codebase that doesn't use default exports? Perhaps adding shim files that import the component and re-export as default? (Would Cosmos have problems with the non-default-exporting TSX files?)

Milton and politics: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Milton%27s_politics

Milton was active during the time of the English revolution which was transformative in regard to the divine right of kings, and the role of the state, and representative parliament. It is not a jab: Sin was a central concept to religious wars. Catholicism could annul sin, the purchase of indulgences led directly to the religious wars of the reformation which proceeded the English Revolution by only a few generations, and continued to echo down the years: Puritanism, and the establishment was an ongoing battle.

Milton's works were suppressed at times. He lived under sufferance of the potential for harmful consequence for his writing.

Indeed. Nationa Security is like what HR is to a company. It's there to defend the company's interests, not the employees and it will gladly throw one under the bus if they can legally get away with it.
Non-IT person here but their security updates seem very nice if you are dealing with systems that store sensitive data?
Agreed. I don't think this is something that came from IBM... This is rooted in decisions that were being made before the acquisition was even announced.
You should read about Marxism, and especially the Frankfurt School, so you could understand the modus operandi of Marxist activism better. LGBTQ are just the latest in line of "classes" of people that have been taken under the Marxist wing for supposed protection, with the real goal being having them used as political tool to gain political power.
Marx started with "workers" as the protected class, but as majority of workers never really bought the ideology Marxists started looking for other victims that will help them ultimately defeat the Western Civilization.
After workers it was women in general, but that wasn't too successful either.
Today it's LGBT people, homeless people, non-white people - they are currently the top three "recipients" of Marxist "compassion" that are being used to further political goals.
What's wrong is there's no way to revoke the permission if you dragged the file on accident. That is a HUGE flaw. Every app has an "undo" function for a reason.

> "How do you consistently say no without appearing oppositional?"

A flat "no" comes across as oppositional.

On the other hand, "Well, that depends..." followed by an analysis of options and possible roadblocks (this is where the "no" is subtly injected), that's construed as thoughtful and methodical. I would even venture to say that "It depends" is the only correct answer for an engineer to give to any question.
Who made the assurances? Was it IBM people, or did the message come from the old C-suite of Red Hat?

This is a common trick. All the transition promises come from people who won't be in the org chart in a couple years. Nothing changes for most of the lock-up period during the transition, and as soon as that person is gone or a lame duck, the rules begin to change.

And what are you going to do? Complain to the people who made promises they no longer have the political standing to enforce, or in fact have already moved on?
I just checked and it's one or two clicks on the same page (i.e. not a different location) for FF and Chrome. Maybe it's different in Safari (as we are talking about MacOS here), but I haven't used in so long for me to know.
The government is responsible of applying the Constitution. If they don't apply it, then the Constitution doesn't really matter.
I also like the idea and there should be a way to phase it in slowly so that it does not tank property values. Referendums that increase property taxes do get passed regularly.

A big issue with LVT is that it seems it can easily result in displacement of residents. Long-time homeowners, especially those on fixed income may not be able to keep up with the increasing tax and will be forced to sell.
If we lowered the speed limit of highways to 25 mph, we would prevent many highway deaths, and could narrow the lanes to fit 4 lanes where previously there were 3 lanes.
I think this is interesting. Since the original comment was from a producthunt perspective, I was thinking that in that case there was a community. Maybe a strategy is that there is a community that communicates already but this communication is spread across various mediums and not efficient?

That’s a dramatic title. Geez.

All of these console of console products are way complicated and expensive. IBM needs to keep theirs because it is used for their power platform and zlinux.

People who want to do the single pane of glass thing are probably better off with VMWare if they want to move workloads around or terraform if they want a recipie type system.
I for one am happy that RedHat is dying.

The most contentious and unfriendly projects in the Linux ecosystem are run by its employees and the interests of the rest of the community run directly counter to those of RedHat and by extension it's employees: software that doesn't need a gaggle of engineers to run vs software that you have to buy a subscription for.

If software is so easy to build, run and debug that you don't need support for you won't buy support for it. Every enterprise I've been at in the last 10 years had CentOS for the engineers who knew their way around Linux and RHEL for those that didn't. It was completely up to you which one you chose. The only push to anyone buying RedHat was how impossible it was to build your projects without someone holding your hand or wasting days reading documentation.
Unfortunately, Red Hat has a successful "Enterprise Edition" (with its free variant being CentOS). A bunch of companies think that's somehow better to have that than to hire people to support general-use distributions.

I've had quite a bit of experience with Debian and Debian-derived distributions, a little experience with CentOS 8. I heavily disapprove of CentOS based on this experience and see it as not just restrictive, but also kind of flaky and shaky.
I mostly agree. It is distinctly marketing-flavored, although not to a degree that I think should disqualify it alone.

What I think should disqualify it is that it's missing a lot of detail that would make the entry genuinely useful. As it is, it's as useful as a press release. Also, it does appear to have a problem with appropriate references.

Generally speaking, I have a hard time disagreeing with the reasons listed on that page for the rejections.
Depends on how you look at the word "community". One definition of the word, "a feeling of fellowship with others, as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests, and goals," can dictate that a community can exist among those who have not yet met, but are of the same community through a shared interests / goals.
Returning a chart on "xyz stock" is not new.
Carpentry is the construction of things by joining wood pieces together. Woodworker is more general and would include things like finishing, or carving solid objects out of wood, or any kind of wood work really.

Furniture, frames for houses, and so on, are typically considered carpentry. Etymologically it comes from a Latin word meaning a wagon maker.

In contemporary English, at least in North America, it's mostly used to describe those involved in the construction of things like wooden buildings, particularly the structural components like frames and roofs. But it hasn't completely supplanted the broader sense.
I thought it was cool that this appeared on the front page for me even though it was already [flagged]. I can actually see why it's flagged; of mostly political import with very little technical detail.
In my experience, Redhat's security updates are slower than Canonical's most of the time.
