That's what the telescopic seatpost is for. "550mm but will extend up to 710mm so suits taller riders up to approximately 6'6" or 1.98m."[1]

Working on the saddle to handlebar drop is another thing. But the H-Type handlebar with the 60mm higher stem will likely solve that.

Microsoft has officially communicated many times, including at BUILD 2019 and .NET Conf, that React Native is for Web developers, and Xamarin for .NET developers.

They aren't one pony trick shop.

Qt didn't not take off for free beer mobile devs, it is doing alright for the kind of corporations that actually buy development tools.

Again we aren't talking about SV HN kind of bubbles here.

May not be illegal, but all platforms don't like it. And it's only a problem that needs solving because the internet is full of shit content.

There are N amount of job postings, but recruiters and other "middle-men" have made it so that there are N * X * Y places a candidate has to apply to.

Where X are the amount of recruiters and Y are the recruitment platforms/boards.

They literally take their clients' requirements, shuffle them around, repackage them, adding editorial fluff and then post them to Y amount of platforms. This is information warfare and we are losing the battle.

This is the net-consequence of all the "distributed" effects we've been wanting for years. Instead, there should be one database. Or at the very least an identifiable entity even if you want to repackage something. I.e. each one of these postings needs to have an agreed UID for employer, employer's job posting, recruiter, and the type of roles it applies to. We need more structure to the data, not less and more distribution across the greater internet.

That is why they don't like scrapers, because they lead to consolidation, aggregation or deduplication of data that has been needlessly duplicated in order to confuse and obfuscate.

On a side, tech-related note, this is the same reason why I hate microservices architectures: a good chunk of them distribute and duplicate pieces of data.

I agree with your thinking on learning, so I have nothing to add, but it doesn't sound like we were referring to the same thing. I'll try rephrasing, though I find this subject extremely hard to communicate effectively.

When you're looking at a red sheet of paper, reading the input in the form of a signal is not the only thing happening. The signal is definitely read and passed along to other brain circuitry for processing, but somehow another thing happens: the experience of red (which is what the other poster called "feeling"). This experience of red is fundamentally different from the experience of green or blue or from the complete absence of looking. This experience is what I was referring to.

This experience seems to happen without any prior knowledge or exposure to the color red. The first time you stumble upon red light, this experience of red arises. You can tell red from green by the marked difference in experiences, but you cannot explain this difference in words to someone who hasn't experienced red or green themselves.

How does this experience get created? Does any sensor (such as a camera) have such experiences? Why not?

In most of corporate America, that would be GPL or AGPL licenses, from direct experience working with outside council at multiple employers defining licensing policies.

Why do you care so much about the few extra miliseconds wasted downloading, then? (0.8% size increase is ~ 0). Also don't forget that Arch can also be used on machines with very slow CPU but very fast network connections, like many VPSs. I think this will make a tangible difference on mine. This is also a big improvement for package maintainers and anyone building their own packages without bothering to modify the makepkg defaults, eg. most people using an AUR helper.
Yes, I did. Too bad that I didn't get to see up CI in that project, and current maintainers probably forgot to update the dictionary.

You can already improve your statistical chance by pre-filtering jobs based on required skills etc. Say, you end up with a list of 10 out of those 1000 jobs and then apply to those. Depending on how active your job hunt is, you might even spend 15 minutes per application and tailor your CV to the job description (use the same keywords, highlight relevant experience, the regular stuff). You would already have greatly improved chances and you would not be what employers have a problem with.

Remember: If they are able to hire you without a recruiter they save a LOT of money, so they WANT you to apply directly.

Btw: The problematic mass-appliers I was refering to are the ones that apply to every damn job on the entire website. Yes, we have those. No, I don't understand their motives either. The only thing they achieve is work for the job site and the HR department, ultimately resulting in the usage of automated pre-filtering that also harms actual applicants.
Not different than Disney releasing new versions of many of their old films in CGI.
> I doubt anyone using these kinds of licenses really thinks they are going to "work" from the point of view of significantly limiting that behaviour.

Which is the exact problem with it. I don't particularly like the term but it is essentially a virtue signal i.e. I am telling you to care about this because I am a good person.

It is a form of slacktivism (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slacktivism).

> They do, however, act as a way to advertise the issues—this article being an example of how using a license like that causes people to publicise and maybe think about your issues.

In my experience I find that it actually accomplishes the opposite. For many people there is enough politics in everyday life whether this is internal company politics, their local community or the maelstrom of national and international politics. People become burned out by it and then tend to resent it.
I might be wrong, but wouldn't it be prudent to first verify the checksum/signature of the downloaded archive before unpacking it? Even when just decompressing there's at least the danger of being zip-bombed (assuming a zip bomb can be constructed for any dictionary-based compression algorithm.)

FWIW I really applaud Arch here. Even if it's just a small step. Commercial operating systems should take notice. OS updates should really not take as long as they (mostly) do.

Interesting, in my experience it works perfectly fine and delivers superior tooling as well as products.

The original article mentions something that I wish I had known when I began learning Japanese ~20 years ago: there aren’t really adjectives in Japanese, just nouns and verbs which have a few different inflection rules. Generally, any noun or verb (phrase) can modify another so there’s no need to create a separate category called adjective.

I wonder if there’s a way to have TVs with watch timers. For better self-control.

I notice at my parents house that the TV is almost always on. It personally drives me insane. I think they want to curb it down, but it’s a habit that’s hard to break... so maybe a screen-time app for the TV can help??
Perhaps Linux should do more 'special-casing' of broken/older apps?

In the email thread, Linus points out that GNU make has a bug in its concurrency code, which was only hit when newer kernels added some optimizations. As a result, they had to walk back on these improvements.

Now, I'm sure that the bug has been fixed in newer versions of make, but 'make' is a program that many people are unlikely to keep up-to-date (most users of it will be only using functionality that has been in make for decades and wouldn't ever consider needing to have a brand new version of it)

It would be a shame to hold back kernel optimizations if they trigger bugs in older user-space code, so in these kind of cases it would be great if Linux had some of the 'backwards-compatibility cruft' that Windows is famous for, allowing for new optimizations while detecting and working around known problems in common older code.
> That's the thing, & really has nothing to do with constness or immutability

No, that means 'reference', but the `mut` and lack of work mean exclusive mutability and const respectively. So another term that means share mutability makes sense.

> And the language has quite simply moved in the opposite direction to that of having more shorthand syntax

Most definitely not. Recent examples are `?` and `async` that replace types with syntax. And coming up the pipe is going to be most coroutines are probably going to get their own syntax too. While year ago that might have been the case (and I think Box should have retained its sigil), the more recent trend is back in the other direction.

Also, not that we already have `mut` and `` (no marker), mixing forms would be bad at this time, we instead of `shm` or something we get cells that correspond to the `mut` for shared mutability.

And regardless of the syntax question, it is still a massive end around the borrow checker and people refuse to admit how hacky it is.
Even then it still could be pipelined. download, check signature, decompress while the next download is running. But yeah, pacman is plenty fast already.
I don't agree with the bombing of civilians (nuclear or otherwise), and for that matter don't have any special respect for historians, but as for history I don't believe your response fits the world we live in. History was pretty unkind to Teller and plenty other bigger "winners". Of course I can imagine a historian attacking those scientists, it happens all the time. And that could easily have been the direction the mainstream history books went with. They probably will sooner or later, the way our society constantly finds new villains to decry. Give it a generation at most.

An algorithm is an idea and it's hard to enforce ideas from spreading. Similar to how it is difficult to patent an algorithm. In the patent world you would have better luck tying that algo to a machine and patenting that.

I think the same concept applies here. Software is the machine that embodies the algorithm. Its tied to a company and to dollars.

What this will also mean is that startups that work in this space will need to watch out who they get funding from. If the VC is not US-based, CFIUS oversight may kick in.

Sidenote : just had a random thought reading linus talking about not fighting the scheduler:

are there common theoretical problems between a garbage collector / memory allocator (aka : automatic handling of memory resource) and a scheduler (aka : automatic handling of cpu resource) ?

Could there be some kind of super abstraction solving common issues to both problem in a more mathematical approach ?
Back in the '90s we got a dev kit for a microcontroller (Toshiba if I recall) that had language in the license that specifically forbade using the thing in terrorist acts.

That dude’s bio is... brutal.

“I was a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Biochemistry at Duke University, working on DNA repair mechanisms. There, after spending almost four years, I systematically proved that most of the projects, theories and guidance from the advisor, which I was forced to do and obey, were wrong. To me, a sound Ph.D. degree or research position job title does not tell anything about the person’s capability of solving a problem and whether the person is a true scientist or not. I have already proved that I am better than most of the people there. In 2016, I decided to leave Duke University, with my own glory, without a Ph.D. degree.”

You can also override PKGEXT as an environment variable when invoking makepkg, so you can have compression by default but easily skip it when it matters:

PKGEXT=.pkg.tar makepkg

EDIT: By the way, it's often a big win to use multithreaded compression (pigz, zstd -T0, etc.) in makepkg.conf. With this, it's fast enough that I hardly ever override PKGEXT anymore.
Everyone has the right. Copyright law adds limits to that. It puts a temporary restriction on the inherently transformative nature of culture so people can afford to make things.

Copyright law even recognizes the essentialness of not needing to ask permission by providing compulsory licensing[1] with set rates so you don't have to get permission from the copyright holder. Though it's usually cheaper to get a formal license. That probably wouldn't be the case without a legally established no-negotiation baseline.

Weight isn't ideal either. You would need to adjust for dose and interval.
This could be due to the focus of the kernel developers involved. At some point in the 2000s, companies such as IBM invested heavily in Linux, working on making the kernel scale well on 'big iron' machines with tens of cores and NUMA-style architecture. As a result, the focus shifted away from 'normal' desktop boxes.

But was this a good or bad thing? Even desktop machines can now have 16+ cores and NUMA. So, perhaps that focus has paid off for more users?
Sorry but you are simply wrong. Tony Heller (your first video) has been debunked so many times it's a wonder he still makes videos. If you want to say GISS data is manipulated, please come up with solid evidence from peer reviewed sources. Their methods have been thoroughly peer reviewed, something that cannot be said of Tony Heller.

Why did they hire Leonard Nimoy, not an actual climate scientist? The doomsday ice age scare of the 70s has been exaggerated to the point of breaking. The vast majority of scientific papers in those times showed global warming is the issue. There was some cooling starting in the 40s, mainly due to aerosol pollution of the atmosphere. This issue was tackled. Now we're left with CO2 and other greenhouse gases.

As for the temperature records, please look up how temperature proxies (tree rings, ice cores...) can be used to reconstruct global temperature. It's not like we know the temperature from 2000 years ago because the Romans had a notebook and measurement stations spanning the globe.
> XMPP was supposed to solve all those problems when it came out in the early 2000s. But then all the big tech companies who build "ecosystems" decided to push their own applications, all incompatible with one another.

Facebook Messenger and Google Talk actually used XMPP back then, I'm sad it's no longer the case.
Can you give examples of the multiple views of the same data? Maybe you can use a past project where you needed this.
You really should just read the linked article, but the tl;dr is that sched_yield() does not convey intent (except in narrow realtime scenarios that you should not be using in the first place).

Tell the kernel why you want to yield CPU. Work with the kernel, not against it. Do you want to yield because you genuinely want to wait until some future point in time? Use sleep. Is it because you're waiting for some I/O? Use poll or its variants. Is it because you're waiting for a signal from another thread? Use mutexes, condition variables, etc. that call futex under the hood.
Oblig. disclaimer, IANAL and not a financial advisor either.

> Did you think that companies can't interact if they're not subsidiaries of the same organization?

Of course not :) I however wonder if defending anti-trust from a subsidiary strategy would work — at least in France, I'm pretty sure taking half your execs and hiring them in a subsidiary which you control will NOT get you past anti-trust regulation.

You might say "but it's legal!" and the judge will kindly ask you not to mock the court by disingenuously failing to address the case at hand — are you or are you not effectively in a monopoly, or cartel situation? Legal or not in terms of legal structure doesn't matter because antitrust is 'above' in the hierarchy of norms (so to speak, my law studies are really far away now, and I was more into public than private law).

Case in point though, shareholding is even legally restricted in some sectors (e.g. media, and that was a strong motivation for e.g. Facebook trying not to be filed as a media group, at least in the EU).

I have absolutely no idea how this would fly in the US. I bow to your expertise, here.

A good example, I think, will be the shareholding structure of Libra (if it ever comes to fruition), where many actors essentially hide their participation behind layers of companies, like some onion (there was a good infographic which you might google on the topic). It's legal, technically, but would it stand in front of a supreme court antitrust case?

As far as I know from history, even legal lines tend to become blurry in major antitrust cases because these are, by essence, out-of-bounds of 'normal' operation, they're fringe cases that sometimes requires a new ad hoc law to take where we want to (I seem to remember elements of Teddy Roosevelt's opposition with Rockefeller, details of the Bell system breakup too, but I'm really not sure. Here in the EU, it's really common —all things considered— to just make new law whenever the current letter fails to live up to the desired spirit).

Thank you for the remarks, I'll probably refrain from speaking about antitrust in the US until I have a better understanding of those.
Not the OP, but my own experience was that I finally started learning Japanese for real when I stumbled upon AJATT and started using some of the techniques he recommends. In short: learning a language is more like learning a martial art than learning mathematics. Repetition, mimicry and passive exposure are keys to mastery. Textbooks and pedagogical methods can provide interesting cognitive exercise but are very inefficient and ineffective at developing native-level language skill.

Why would you expect otherwise from sched_yield?

This thread starts out with buddhism, I’m not really knowledgeable in it, but from what I gathered it is far less about rule following and fear than for example christianity and more about guidance in the moral questions you mention that an atheist should “figure out”, cultural objects also seem to display respect and gratitude for an old leader rather than fear of some omnipotent figure.
I'd appreciate if "this code is garbage" was at the end, so it would be (and feel more like) a conclusion.

Saying that stuff at the beginning only clutters the reasoning, as one should not "just believe" that that code was "indeed garbage", just because he said so.
