Talk about muddying the waters. (It's not even clear where the coup came from, how it played out was surreal.) And even if a coup was attempted in Germany or France, people would not be arrested in the tens of thousands the next day. Curfew? Yes. Incidents where civilians were killed by mistake or in crossfire? If the coup was large - likely yes. War is not pretty.

A concerted effort to round up and imprison tens of thousands of people from all walks of life overnight? No.

It's almost like the coup played in Erdogans hands. I don't know what was behind the coup. It was clearly ill advised in every way. It's evidently clear Erdogan took the coup as his cue to further repress and imprison people he doesn't like.

Like the dictator he is. Unfortunately, the peoples of Turkey will pay the price.

> Debian is a volunteer project. It's not a commercial enterprise. Volunteers work on whatever they think is worth their time and whatever they think it benefits them and their users.

What you've described also applies to Fedora. Fedora is community run and non-commercial. The results of the latest FESCO vote shows that. It is very much a volunteer-run distribution.

Yes, many Red Hatters have a personal interest in Fedora, and many others have professional interests. But nobody (from the Fedora community leadership) is going around selling it... :-)

> It's a bit unsettling that people in the open source community need to work on this particular thing, but it's unfair to blame them for that.

I think OP's point, coming from Fedora, is that the package maintainer (of say, apache-httpd) would need to ship unit files for all init systems and support them. The latter is a large task when you never use said alternative init system, especially if a drive-by contributor gave you the initial script. (And yes, you're free to ask for help, post on mailing lists, &c. but fundamentally it'd still come down to you, as the maintainer, to fix it).

At any rate, that's likely how Fedora would behave.

You just changed that. It was not included when I looked, and this fact is obvious by the "OnlyKey-Firmware has decreased 1% in quality in the last 7 days." banner. You have made no commits to the repo since Oct 23, so the only way the quality would decrease in the past week is if you changed the settings to include the .ino file.

How do people in general test their https during development? I've never done it but will for my current project, but am dreading it. I was thinking of Docker or Vagrant. Or maybe this localdots.

This must be a solved problem. How do you all do it?
New NVMe drives claim 5GB/s on PCIe 4, is memory mapping something like that not good enough for you already?
>It is important that the project support the efforts of developers working on such technologies where there is overlap between these technologies and the rest of the project, for example by reviewing patches and participating in discussions in a timely manner.

This part directly addresses the current issue; people were just ignoring those that were working to make non-systemd debian possible and were refusing to even talk about the issue. It will be interesting to see what happens now if those people continue to behave in the same way.

So this actually ends up being a victory for the non-systemd faction, at least in a political sense.

It is alleged that Assange coordinated with Chelsea Manning and the Russian government to obtain information for Wikileaks. This would make him an active conspirator in breaking the law.

Completely different from Facebook, Google, Twitter etc where they merely provide a platform for others to upload content and aren't actively involved in sourcing illegal content.
benefits only run about 30%. So a contractor wage should be about 130% of a salaried employees wage.

This does not count when a salaried employee works more than 40 hours.

My plumber charges 150/hour.

Contractors around here bill by the job. I had bids for $5000 for a 1 day job for 2 people when incorporated into a GC bid. The GC was getting 25% on top of the 5000.
It doesn't, but being explicit about whether the vacuous "we" is the big G Government or we the private company forming classes would have saved quite a few bits on PGs server.

I’d think it’s the same reasoning why ISPs aren’t held accountable for piracy.
Alabama is effectively a third world country, with all the resource extraction, corruption and post-colonial racial inequality that implies. It just happens to be inside the United States.
I have gone down the exact same line of thinking. I think there is value in creating a simple relational data structure to have simple select and insert functions but not the overhead of sqlite. Many times when I think about it, the state of most programs could use a handful of the same structure and be done.
I don’t understand — what’s the control variable here? How can they claim the algorithm has a deradicalizing effect without showing that people became less radical? Also, the raw number of recommendations is misleading — as long as 1 in 100 of the recommendations is a new piece of content that is also radical, I could be exposed to radical beliefs over time just by my own selection bias.
This isn't actually an issue with systemd, it's just how the distro has configured it.

systemd is really good at doing what it's told, if it's told something bad it will do something bad.
Doesn't change anything.

The ballot allows you to place all the options you support, in any order you prefer. Let's say I really oppose systemd and want it to lose. I could have voted:

Option 6

Option 7

Option 8 (FD)

This would show on the majority vote as a vote for all of {63547}, and a vote against {12}. Vote splitting is not possible, even in the majority vote section.

Same happened with billiards: the plain white cue ball got 6 or 8 red dots put on for TV viewers to be able to see the spin a bit. Of course the players can benefit too but that's not why they did it, and many pool halls still use plain white balls when not hosting serious competitions.

It depends on a systemd API and there is an independent implementation, elogind. GNOME runs just fine in the BSDs, so its dependency on systemd is a strawman.

Widely panned at release due to being forced to release old code after VCS failure, though I'd argue the only problem after patches were left was that movement logic change didn't play out well (it was a brave attempt though).

What you're referring to as Linux is actually...

GNU/Linux doesn't automatically choose which program to use for anything (you can't ./file.png like you can in Windows). In my experience file managers tend to use file extensions to choose which application to use, and that application might then use libmagic and ignore the file extension. (e.g. giving a PNG file the .JPG extension will make the file manager think it's a JPEG, and therefore open it with an image viewer, but the image viewer program will use headers to recognise it as a PNG)

I actually did this, sort of.

It was to scare away the stone marter family that had made themselves a home under my parents' roof tiles. They are a protected animal where I live, so you can't just do anything to get rid of them. But they also tend to chew on cables in your car (they really do), making them dangerous. Also make a LOT of noise when they go hunting at night.

Looking up various ways to get rid of these animals (apparently they also really dislike the smell of toilet fresheners, which you can place under your car hood or something), I found an ultrasound device but it was kinda expensive for single use.

So I generated a bunch of high frequency tones, to make it extra annoying I had it do random(10,20) seconds of beep, then random(10,20) seconds of silence.

I burned this to a CD, made three tracks at 15kHz, 17kHz and 19kHz. I didn't go higher because I had no way to find out if the speakers would be able to reproduce that tone :) I could clearly hear 15k, and my parents a little. I could nearly hear 17k, and my parents swore they heard nothing. Neither of us could hear the 19k, even at the loudest volume.

Since I don't live there, we decided to put the 17k track on repeat, at max volume, because at least we knew it made a sound (that I could barely hear). The CD player was placed next to an open window close to the nest.

That very night, the stone marter family got up and left. We assumed they probably just moved a few houses over, or something. However ...

Just to be sure they wouldn't return, my parents left the CD player on repeat for an entire week. After that week when my dad turned off the CD, five minutes later, he walked into the garden ...

"Hey, the birds are back!"

(... and to think there's a popular route close to their house for people walking their dogs ...)

So yeah, that definitely worked. It's just not very specific :-P
doesn't matter if it is half done or not as feature complete as other sites, it just is the default on an iPad so people like my parents end up using it because Apple makes sure to highlight it being added.

Coywolves Are Taking over Eastern North America (2015)
The question IMO is not whether it's easier or harder, but whether it's more or less sustainable. That in itself is two questions:

(1) Is it sustainable in the sense that you can remain productive throughout one day?

(2) Is is sustainable in the sense that you can keep doing it day after day?

I would say the answer to (1) is generally yes. Meetings usually require continuous partial attention rather than intense focus, involve multiple people, and often have built-in breaks. All of those help to prevent the problem of an exhausted lone programmer getting stuck in the weeds for hours before they realize - usually as soon as they take a break - that they've been looking in entirely the wrong direction.

The answer to (2) depends more on the person. For a true introvert, meetings all day will be incredibly draining, and even a conference lasting a few days can be intolerable without careful energy management. For an extrovert, such a schedule can be energizing and almost infinitely sustainable.

The key here is that for certain combinations of people and tasks a schedule like that is sustainable. However, that doesn't mean it's reasonable to expect programmers can do their job at that pace sustainably. Productivity will drop and/or they'll burn out. What irks me about these conversations is that people with personalities or situations that are amenable to one kind of work schedule are looking down their noses at people with completely different personalities or situations that make it a poor fit. I don't mean that as a criticism of you specifically, but others taking the same position or making the same points have displayed an appalling lack of empathy.

No guaranteed federal loans would fix everything. This means tuition loans could then be discharged and the lender would be more discerning about loaning to a student heading to some boutique private college with sky-high tuition and ending up with a humanities degree.

I know the tax brackets help keep well paid professionals from transitioning too easily to living off of assets, ( which is what I would call upper class).

It is beyond me for the German state to call for "EU unity" because of a project that is essentially a huge "fuck you" to Eastern Europe. If anything the EU should back the US sanctions to protect unity, as weird as it sounds.
WikiLeaks is journalistic organization. (Some claim that they are shitty journalistic organization, but that is not a good argument for removing their status as journalistic organization)

The question you should be asking is why Assange and not journalists in NYT, Guardian etc. who published what Assange provided?

The answer is that charges against Assange are not about publishing secret information. Charges are Assange actively helping to get that information. That's illegal. Journalist should never get actively involved getting the secret information.

I feel Machiavellian theory is more that some times terrible acts are needed to bring about "good" or necessary or worthy outcomes and should be accomplished towards those ends, but that the terribleness of the actions is in no way cleansed or justified by a worthy outcome. You might murder someone to protect a bunch of other people but you're still a murderer. 'Heavy hangs the head that wears the crown.'
For the city you might as well just do an e-bike or something a lot like an e-bike.

So that leaves things like this for the highway. Motorcycles are not very aerodynamic so they tend to take a lot of battery when run fast. So you are probably better off with a small electric car.
That is seriously well-written. Personally I am (also?) in the camp where some advertising ("to connect goods and services with people wanting to buy them") is ok, and we both agreed that the current system is suboptimal bjt you have managed to nudge me quite a bit towards your side.

Ask HN: Which marketing plan would you choose?
Given two avenues of marketing:

1) Facebook group -
Target market #1 -
60k audience

Package #A -
1 Sponsored Post -
3 Boost -
$300 USD -

2) Website

Target market #2 -
1-5k monthly active users -
Average session time: 3min -

Package #B -
Newsfeed Ad 1 month -
$240 USD

Package #C -
Newsfeed Ad 3 months -
$640 USD

Which combination would you choose?

Given both avenues have different target markets, I am inclined to get Package A and B together. But given only 1-5k monthly active users, I am not sure if avenue B is worth it for the price.

However, avenue B is the exact match for my target market. Avenue A is almost the exact match, but not quite.

I'm not very good with electronics, but someone who is showed me this cool device they built themselves. It was something like a "frequency-lowerer" (NO idea how that works, I know DSP but not the analog stuff) and the intended use was to be able to hear the screeches of bats. One way to test it was to jingle a bunch of keys in front of its mic, the metal clanging has a lot of ultrasound.

I dunno how hard they are to build (that guy was pretty skilled), but I think you can also just buy these devices ready made. Probably called "bat detectors" or something.
If the Russian government wants to leak information, why do they need WikiLeaks?

I think Anarchism is ultimately but radical direct democracy with strong emphathis on the principle of subsidiarity.

A paraphrase of a bit from the Makhno article on Wikipedia:

""" The first Congress of the Confederation of Anarchists Groups issued five main principles:

1) Rejection of all political parties

2) Rejection of all forms of dictatorships (including the dictatorship of the proletariat, viewed by Makhnovists and many anarchists of the day as a term synonymous with the dictatorship of the Bolshevik communist party)

3) Negation of any concept of a central state

4) Rejection of a so-called "transitional period" necessitating a temporary dictatorship of the proletariat

5) Self-management of all workers through free local workers' councils """

There may be a discussion to be had about these principles, but they certainly do not sound like "a railroad towards dictatorship" to me.

Also that bug was due to a backport and not an issue in any released version of systemd.
This is all about German politicians who've been bought out by Russian interests trying to protect their pet project(s). Speaking as a German, the fact that Germany would rather deal with and be reliant on a country like Russia is, frankly, insane and incredibly shameful. It's as if Ukraine didn't happen, nor Russian interference of elections across the Western world. For all the bad that the US does, at least they don't invade and annex European countries, and try to undermine European politics.
I hate framing things like this as "human rights". Rights are an imaginary construct that humans created. All we need to ask is: Does it create a more effective/equitable/propserous society for us if we collectively provide / subsidize this?

If yes, then let's do it. If not, then let's not. No need to argue about whether it's some ineffable "right" or not, which ultimately comes down to personal philosophy.
