People actually doing this (i.e. trying to use systemd components on a non-systemd system) end up forking the critical bits and pieces, because trying to build and use them directly from upstream doesn't work well.

See:
https://github.com/elogind/elogind
https://github.com/gentoo/eudev

So yes, systemd is a mono-repo containing a bunch of loosely-coupled projects, but they are still coupled too tightly to sanely distribute and use separately without a fork.

> why do I need a "special" driver's license to satisfy the feds?

Ultimately, because they say so. I'm genuinely curious: are you going to fly domestically with a passport after September? I'm not saying the government should have done REAL ID, but given that they seem intent on it I'm wondering what your plan is. For me, the reason to convert to a REAL ID is so that I can get on planes in the US. I had the option to go with a regular license, but that would have been inconvenient since I would have needed other ID to get on a plane, even for a domestic flight. Again, I'm not defending the government, just really curious what your plan is. Is it a protest?

The fix was to block the botnets that were scanning millions of numbers and ban the associated accounts. Likely that includes some ongoing threat detection as well. That'll at least prevent scammers from collecting one more account name/number to attempt exploiting.

Sure it does, macOS doesn't need a customized kernel build, it just works of the box.

This is the typical answer, "Linux can do that, just need a special customised build and change a couple of config files and /proc settings on boot".

It appears to be this communities' commenters unpopular conclusion. That every piece of tracking is part of a conspiracy to sell you advertising.

> In section 3.1 of their privacy policy, Wacom wondered if it would be OK if they sent a few bits and bobs of data from my computer to Google Analytics, “[including] aggregate usage data, technical session information and information about [my] hardware device.”

What wasn't upfront about this? That they didn't add more details about what the session information was? Legally why would they? The post includes an image the section where they legally disclosed it. People not reading the privacy policy before using a product is not Wacom's legal problem.

Can you ask them to put this section on a separate screen? Sure. Will they do it? Who knows. I'm sure they'd want to know if you are a customer giving ideas than a low priority non customer as would any person.

How many blogs or websites disclose the use of Google Analytics in their privacy policy?

You could talk to many customers and this is the least thing they have on their minds. Paranoia displayed by commenters here is amazing.

As the post concludes, if you are a (prospective) customer who does not like what they collect then there are other brands. I might add who probably have a hidden, more intrusive way to track you because they are smaller, have smaller volume/margin and have the incentive to build and sell your profile like other small companies not in the field.
> But I find it totally bizarre that they never shipped 64 bit Carbon.

I don't. Carbon was a >20-year-old codebase which had always ran on a 32-bit system. I wouldn't be surprised at all if they simply determined that there was too much code which would have to be rewritten to run correctly on 64-bit.
As a side note, the forums aren't the best place for that; the post could just be unseen by the people that matter. The appropriate channels are through Feedback Assistant and/or a technical support report (https://developer.apple.com/support/technical/) which has bit more visibility.

In Denmark, a country of approximately 6 million people, there are three different regions running the public hospitals. Two of the three regions choose a custom system, whereas the third choose Epic.

The results apparently doesn’t favor Epic in that it costs 4-5 times as much [1] and has caused productivity loss 1.5 years after implementation [2] (links in danish)

Still don’t know if is a fair comparison though, since you probably pay the costs of adhering to process to start off with and only reap the benefits later. However the Epic implementation has also been bug riddled and I’ve also read that the procedures are designed for a litigation happy US and thus are not rational to apply here.

For it to be entrapment the government would have to have induced/coerced the actual behavior of operating without a license. These arrests are the same as if a cop buys drugs from dealer and then arrests the dealer: the dealer goofed and can probably be charged with a crime since there is no coercion from the officer for the behavior.

Entrapment is a defense to a crime, and in most (all?) states requires the accused to prove they would not have committed the crime but-for the persuasion of the government (usually a police officer/federal agent type, but not always). It is generally true that if the government merely sets the stage for someone to commit a crime that does not rise to the level of entrapment - there has to be more coercive behavior for it to be entrapment.

Here is a good background story on entrapment... and how the defense almost never works: https://www.oregonlive.com/portland/2010/12/portland_bomb_pl...

I worked for 5+ years for a PI at a prestigious institution.

Overall my experience there was great. It was a lot of fun too. I got to design and implement fairly large projects early on as a junior engineer. I could use any tech that I wanted. I had maybe two dozen users at best, but I interacted with them weekly if not daily.

That said, I was barely making 50k. Now I'm a senior engineer at a FAANG and though I am more financially stable, I am not having as much fun. I routinely push code to millions of users now, but I don't see any of them.

I suppose the FAANG is a different kind of fun, but sometimes I just miss being the guy who's coding this awesome tool that's going to further scientific research, and your post reminded me of that.

Maybe when I retire I'll go back to help some PIs with their software issues. I know they need the help.

Right you are:

"By the time the handyman gets to the location, they want to make the homeowner happy and end up agreeing to perform work that they didn't intend on doing when they first arrived. The undercover detective[s] are just creating a crime that probably wouldn't occur otherwise."
You can open and save. Just use the browser's save function, to save a local HTML file. (At least on my computer, this saves the text you put in, at least if you select the "complete" option when saving.) You can then recall that file just as easily.

Of course, it will only save as HTML and recall the same HTML file you saved in this way, and doesn't support plain text files. But, nevertheless, you can open and save.
> mainframes and COBOL

Exactly. My first job out of university in 1996 was with the Canadian government. One of my first tasks was to update a COBOL program that had originally been written in 1972. I left that job in 1997, but I doubt the program I updated has changed much in the 24 years since, so it's at least 48 years old at this point.

The way businesses solve this, just about every time, is to run an emulator of the old system on current hardware.

I have heard of systems with five layers of emulation, yet still quite a lot faster than the original machine.

I gather Bloomberg has begun to do this, emulating SPARC user-space on Intel so they can stop paying Oracle to support long-since EOL'd 32-bit equipment and OS. (Or maybe some sort of hybrid.)

I can understand why no expensive consultant would suggest it; it is very cheap, and quick to set up. No fat contracts there.
Even in that world, I would dare say that poems have meaning. Just one that is personal to the beholder. As a lover of the sciences and mathematics, it used to really bother me, the 'subjectiveness' of there being no "right" answer - but I think an important aspect of that subjectivity is that while there are not necessarily knowably correct answers, it is quite possible for an interpretation to fail to map. What makes many a poem beautiful is how many 'correct' (and often mutually exclusive) interpretations simultaneously contain, i.e. interpretations that are not contradicted by the poem itself. That aspect of containing multitudes is now one of the may things I have come to really appreciate about poetry, and the arts more generally.

Nice! It sounds like you are keeping tabs on this anecdotally/with studies for multiple mental disorders. Maybe my comment is sort of useful to some! Also, I'd like to expand a bit, actually.
My "version" of BP is "Type 1 with Psychotic Features" - it's a rough one, so doc recommended __total__ sobriety (for me, that was only quitting marijuana). The reasoning was because of potential med interactions and a higher chance of going into mania/depression. My comment above says "[Kava] was great for me at first" because it was like 20% of a marijuana high, very calming, and I thought it was safe/not a "drug". I actually felt like I was cheating and then noticed instabity pretty quickly after that.

I've been sober for over a year and a half (strictly for my disorder, not because of typical reasons e.g.: drug addiction). At this point, I'll take stability over any tea (or anything) that provides a light high. :-)

For everyone else, I'm hopeful Kava is a helpful medicine.

Not all of them, hardware AV1 has been rolling out over the last year. LG include hardware AV1 decoding in two of their TV lines now (OLED ZX and NanoCell). MediaTek's new SOCs include it, and they're being used in Xiaomi, Nokia, and Motorola phones this year. Amlogic's TV and set-top box SOCs, used in things like the Amazon Fire TV as well as Android smart TVs and dedicated media players, include it. Realtek's TV SOC with hardware AV1 support ships "early 2020."

Hardware AV1 decoding is available on some Android devices right now, and will ship with a lot more over the course of the year. So it seems the perfect time to ship an AV1 option behind an opt-in setting, which is what they've done. If you don't have hardware support and it's not worth the battery drain then you don't have to select it and there's no way they're removing H.264 support anytime soon.

"Revenue in Productivity and Business Processes was $11.8 billion and increased 17% (up 19% in constant currency), with the following business highlights:

· Office Commercial products and cloud services revenue increased 16% (up 18% in constant currency) driven by Office 365 Commercial revenue growth of 27% (up 30% in constant currency)

· Office Consumer products and cloud services revenue increased 19% (up 20% in constant currency) with continued growth in Office 365 Consumer subscribers to 37.2 million

· LinkedIn revenue increased 24% (up 26% in constant currency)

· Dynamics products and cloud services revenue increased 12% (up 15% in constant currency) driven by Dynamics 365 revenue growth of 42% (up 45% in constant currency)

Revenue in Intelligent Cloud was $11.9 billion and increased 27% (up 28% in constant currency), with the following business highlights:

· Server products and cloud services revenue increased 30% (up 32% in constant currency) driven by Azure revenue growth of 62% (up 64% in constant currency)"

So Office 365 falls under category "Productivity and Business Processes", while Azure as well as 'server products' and 'enterprise services' fall under "Intelligent Cloud".

Their third category is "Personal Computing" which was $13.2 billion and includes Windows, Surface, Search / advertising (I guess Bing), Xbox.

> it used to be one of the most homogeneous mono-cultural countries in the world

I'm having a difficult time understanding what "mono-cultural countries" has to do with this topic.

The modern concept of "country" is often attributed to Westphalian sovereignty from the 1600s, but this article concerns the Norse era.

Norse territory wasn't a mono-culture. The Norse controlled lands on Great Britain, Ireland, and elsewhere, where the Norse were ethnic minorities.

The ethnic Norse on the Scandinavian peninsula were not a mono-culture because some were followed the Christian religion and some followed the Old Norse religion.

Nor were the genetics a mono-culture. During the Norse times, about 10% of the population were thralls, and a substantial fraction of that captured non-Norse slaves, some of whom became freedmen.

Then there were the Geats, Swedes, and Gutes.

That said, I'm fine with saying that the diversity of the Scandinavian peninsula has varied, and that in more recent history, especially after the rise of the strong centralized state, it was much closer to a mono-culture.
