There are parallels to the prohibition of alcohol here. During prohibition you were more likely to find liquor. Even after prohibition for some time liquor was more popular - my grandparents were more likely to have a cocktail than a beer or wine. Today people drink more beer and wine than liquor, there are more options, we don't have to go straight for the hard stuff.

> except we don't have the expertise to judge their performance.

Well, this is a bit different in that regard. Last time I tried it, it was free to put all my info into turbo tax and see what my amount owed would be, and then it would be a fee to actually file. I assume most tax software works that way.

So it's actually very easy and objective to see the performance of these systems. It would obviously be a big hassle though to spend a whole afternoon playing with all the different tax softwares.
This isn't just about a convenient shell, though, is it? The state-of-the-art in compiler and other tool development in a lot of languages is hosted on UNIXy platforms. Many of the developers are there. Much of the attention and research and new work is focused there. Many of the tools for hosting online applications as a server are there. Windows simply isn't the dominant platform for most of this kind of work, and using Windows for software development sometimes feels like using Linux for gaming, for much the same reasons.
If you're against drug legalization, this is like hearing "allowing people to steal whatever they want is causing less murder". Allowing everyone to do bad things, in order to slightly reduce the number of really bad things is not a basis for legalizing something.

Now I'm personally for the recreational legalization of all drugs in general, but this is a poor argument, just like increased tax revenue is a poor argument. Proponents of legalization should be arguing that anyone should be able to do whatever they want to their own body as long as they're not hurting anyone else.
What is interesting is in the comments on chess.com, people propose "NBC [no black castling] Armageddon" meaning black is not allowed to castle but wins with a draw. And it seems balanced! I'd really like to see some top humans try it out.
No that was the conclusion: use mutexes
You can go further back to the founding of the nation for why this is. It didn't start with the GOP. Things that would be nationalized in other countries like the railroads have always been private in america. Even when Alexander Hamilton and George Washington had taxpayers of New Jersey pay for the country's first manufactories in Paterson, they were all private industries. Abraham Lincoln privatized all the railroads and telegraph lines after the civil war. (We had nationalized them for the war effort, so taxpayers paid for thousands of miles of railroad that was handed off to railroad companies.) You can even go further back, before the united states was even a thing and look at mercantilism, where merchants/private industry ran the country, but it was understood that they were subservient to the nation, economic growth's sole purpose was for national defense, and you took care of your citizenry because they were your troops. Thanks to the civil war, the 2nd industrial revolution, the gilded age, globalism, america has taken more and more turns towards 'every man for themself' and not giving a shit about the country, so obviously well-intentioned privatization of public utilities makes less and less sense.

2016: +11.96%

2017: +21.83%

2018: -04.38%

2019: +32%

(All numbers are total return, the 2019 source didn't have fractions of a %)

That's not a bad four years' return.

(Yes, December 2018 had a big decline -- but the first 11 months of the year were pretty good, and we ended only 4.38% off even with the 21% decline in the last month)
There's something wonderfully refreshing to me about the use of Pascal. For most modern platforms, C has always enjoyed the benefit of a sort of "platform nepotism" in which all APIs/ABIs cater to the particulars of its type system. You can certainly use C or C++ to target classic MacOS, but it's always a bit of a second-class citizen. It's fun to imagine how things might have turned out if a different language became the lingua franca of systems programming.
To your point, the GM issue was involved in 30 accidents in a couple years but no fatalities. The problem is obviously not a failure in a parking lot, but at speed.

I don’t know the specifics of the system safety analysis but if the software is used to mitigate a hazard, it’s usually considered safety critical. In this case, if it shuts the EPS off, or fails to bring it back online, it it would significantly affect the vehicle handling dynamics. Again, I don’t know their classification scheme but I would assume the steering is a safety critical system. Some reports claim the vehicle lost all handling control, but I’m a little skeptical of that claim.

In any event, I wouldn’t consider it no issue. Recalls cost a lot of money. In the GM case it affected 1MM cars. I didn’t look up the cost of each fix, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it cost nine figures. I doubt they would go forward with a recall of that magnitude for a trivial issue.

I could see the same rationalization for MCAS. The system safety analysis didn’t claim an MCAS failure was catastrophic and they already had a procedural mitigation in place if it did fail. It wouldn’t take much to convince someone that such a recall fix was no big deal. This is part of the problem with systems using safety critical software
I don't know. I do know that sometimes on runs - usually long runs - I'll be somewhere down the road and know that I should be hurting. That I'm 10 miles into a 15 mile run and my feet should be hurting. My legs should be aching. But for some reason it doesn't. For some reason it's all I can do to not just start sprinting.

Differentiation of the cells. We can get stem cells from fat, blood, bone marrow etc. We can increase their lifespan (Hayflick limit) by lenghtening telomeres. Last time I checked we were starting to understand how to turn some cells pluripotent.

Tampa Bay Times has a completely different take.

Here's a few paragraphs from the article (warning: it's quite graphic):

"Shelly, her twin sister Stacy and friend Stephanie Forsythe were hitchhiking near St. Petersburg the night of May 5, 1985, according to news reports. Shelly was seen dancing at a bar with Dailey and Jack Pearcy.

Dailey was from Kansas, an Air Force veteran who served three tours in Vietnam. He and Pearcy were roommates, and news reports said they all went back to the men’s house. Stacy and the friend left. Shelly stayed behind.

At trial, the prosecution told jurors the two men drove Shelly to a secluded area under the bridge, intent on raping her. The 14-year-old fiercely resisted them. The medical examiner said she had 18 defensive wounds on her hands.

Dailey was soaking wet and missing his shirt when he and Pearcy returned home the morning after the murder, Pearcy’s pregnant girlfriend told investigators. Dailey said they had to leave the state right then. He was captured in California and extradited back to Florida, news reports said."

> I did allow git, 7zip, and clion to add themselves to the right click context menu, but I don't think that counts as a shell extension?

They do count, but whether or not they're relevant depends on whether they're triggered. e.g. if you never right-clicked, then 7-zip probably doesn't count. Although 7-zip also installs drag-drop handlers, so it's not just right-clicking, and I'm not sure when the others get triggered.

> I'm using git with the terminal editor that they recommend to you in the git for Windows installation, I think it's called git with bash? It could have been some type of issue there rather than Microsoft being at fault. But that terminal editor is (or at least was) the recommended option presented to you in the git installer, so shrugs.

Hm, somehow I feel neither of them is related. How likely is it that the name wasn't unique after your rename? Did you type in gibberish or something that could plausibly exist?

Note that if you were ever trying to remove e.g. a directory that was the current working directory of any running program (like your terminal or anything else), that'd fail. It's possible that there's some bug that makes you think it's succeeding, and therefore making you think that the folder no longer exists. But hard to say with the current info.

Whatever Grover Norquist is, stupid is not one. He appears to be quite a complex (if obsessed) person and his views outside of taxation don’t fall easily on the normal left/right axis [1].

If linux phones are going to be a thing (pinephone, librem) they'll need great cameras and excellent image processing software t be even somewhat competitive with Google Pixels and iPhones and Samsungs.

This is a view without nuance.

Lots of people don't use, or only rarely use, a phone camera. It also implies that [GNU|other-free]/Linux "winning" a substantial share of the market is a plausible (or even desirable) outcome.

[GNU|other-free]/Linux is a terrible phone operating system for the majority of people. I say this as a person who has a PinePhone that's about to ship (and is planning on using it as my daily driver). I also take hundreds of pictures a year. The trick to solve the camera problem is just buying a good camera that isn't your phone.

If [GNU|other-free]/Linux gets 10% of the phone operating system market, the amount of malware (both in the literal sense and the Stallmanic sense) written for it will skyrocket. That's certainly not desirable, and at that point it's more or less an Android clone, which defeats the point.

The "average" user doesn't understand that they shouldn't download software from any website that offers it, for example. Android is already bad at sandboxing and keeping less-technical users safe. Imagine if less-technical users got their hands on a mobile [GNU|other-free]/Linux distribution. Chaos.

By foregoing a high-quality camera, it limits the market share of a device like this. That's good! Non-technical users should be kept very far away from it until it's baby-proofed or education improves. Anything else will harm them.

Freeing them is a good goal, but it probably won't come first, and probably won't come for a while. It's especially not something that should have the roadmap shifted around to match.

(The separation between "Linux" and "OS/Linux" is relevant here, because without it, there's no distinction between it and Android.)
Study calculus, from the definition of real numbers and to taking complex integrals via residuals; then study linear algebra to some theorems about eigenvectors. 1 month total, assuming you're somewhat talented and determined to spend 12 hours a day learning proofs of boring theorems. After that you'll realise that most of the ML papers out there are just ad-hoc composed matrix multiplications with some formulas used as fillers. At that point I think it's more useful to learn what ML models work in practice (although nobody will be able to explain why they work, including the authors) and mix this practical knowledge with the math theory to develop good intuition.

I'd compare ML with weather models: we understand physics driving individual particles, we understand the high level diff equations, but as complexity builds up, we have to resort to intuition to develop at least somewhat working weather models.
The only running tip I have is to think of miles run like a bank. Every time you go out you're putting money into the bank. When you skip a day you're taking money out. Everyday you skip it's a little bit harder when you go out the next day. So be jealous of the opportunities to go out. Don't cheat yourself by skipping but put a few more pennies in the bank instead.

I'm not super gung-ho though - I think I run 20 miles a week maybe - just 5 or 6 days. And I always take a day off. But it works for me.
Sorry for the late reply. The event was BSides Ottawa; an attendee forwarded the challenges to me and made writeups of the crypto challenges here: https://rctcwyvrn.github.io/posts/2019-12-02-bsides_crypto.h.... The challenge was quite straightforward; they created a secure random key, displayed an encrypted flag, then let you en/decipher anything you wanted except the encrypted flag (NDS is symmetric so encryption = decryption).

Some of the latest crypto-heavy CTFs have also featured pretty sophisticated "fundamental" attacks on ciphers. I've seen attacks on custom LCG-based stream ciphers (Google CTF), fancy math attacks on RSA variants (hxp 36C3 CTF just last week), and even the odd differential attack. Good crypto CTF challenges are really interesting and are great opportunities to learn and build classic attacks :)
The US Federal Government was formed by its member states too. Turns out it got way richer and noticed that all commerce is interstate commerce over the last century and uses that to flex its autonomy over all facets of life within the states.

x86 is actually one of the easier platforms to have self-modifying code on, because you don’t have to flush the instruction cache.

how would that affect ease of tax generation? You would still need to have the proper congressional authorities vote on the matter, no? And sure, when I am in sweden I get taxed more because of VAT and such, but having a national standard where I can just declare my taxes for the year by pushing a single button for free through the government tax app is a benefit to outweigh any worry that you will get shafted by new taxes. In the US it just seems backwards and no excuse can justify this. Horrible system.
> It sounds like you've never needed to file a revised tax form for a previous year. I have, and millions of other people do it each year.

Wouldn’t it be great if it was automatic and right the first time and you didn’t have to file amendments as a consequence because the source material made its way to the IRS AND they told you how much to pay? Or the frequency was dramatically reduced via automation?

> Because the vast majority of America's accountants are one or two person shops with neither the time nor the technology to make this happen.

(a) companies, employers, brokerages, etc all do this filing.

(b) we wouldn’t need nearly as many tax accountants, they’re just a drain on the economy. They’re employed to do the same thing as TurboTax: fill a hole intentionally left open in the IRS as a make work project. Like lamplighters, some jobs get obsoleted by technological and legal advancements.

Regular accountants sure. I’m talking about starting with individuals not business edge cases though.

(c) accountants already file quarterly, for me anyways...

I don't know about that quote being discredited, but I believe I've read a few comments from rayiner here that make a pretty convincing argument that when Nixon coining the term "War on Drugs" in 1971, it was part of an effort against organized crime and was preceded by a decade of rising violent crime. And, if I recall his argument correctly, that it was Reagan who really amped up the 'war'.

My take is that both narratives are simultaneously true. That different people involved had different motivations, some people having multiple motivations. The dimensional of the true series of the events is too high for any human to comprehend, so we instead study lower dimension projections of the truth. Like flatlanders looking at a cylinder; some think it looks like a rectangle and some thinks it looks like a circle. There can be underlying truth to multiple perspectives that may seem mutually contradictory at lower dimensions.

This is really comforting to hear. I've actually started and operated two unrelated businesses I used to fund my college expenses so I'm relatively well versed in the process of finding a problem / niche and developing around it.

I love these "harder than necessary" solutions to FizzBuzz, it might be useful to take questions about your ability out of the way.

Another interesting way would be to not use any modulo operation, but only do string processing and substitution on the numbers to check their divisibility (easier for mod 5, a bit harder for mod 3 but not impossible)
What fiddling do you think is involved in running a typical Ubuntu desktop these days?

Hardware mostly just works. Plug in a USB stick or a camera or phone, see your files, like any other desktop.

You've got web browsers and basic office software and communications tools and all the rest.

The OS can automatically update for security issues, and that takes care of much of your installed software as well if you're just using the default option of getting things from your distribution. Almost anything to do with this is qualitatively better than modern Windows systems.

Sure, the look and feel is different and it takes a few minutes to find your way around, but then the look and feel is different moving from Windows to macOS, or even from Windows 7 to Windows 10, too.

It's quite widely used for dynamic library jump tables. When calling a function in a dynamically linked library, it calls a stub, which is initially a call to the lazy linker, but gets replaced with a call to the resolved function.

You may be remembering early x86 chips that didn't properly invalidate the instruction cache after a write. Modern chips are fully cache-coherent.
