I think you should not compare package managers like that.

The way I see it, a system is a stack: that is you put a number of layers on top of each other.

The kernel is a layer at the very bottom, on top of which you stack a distribution. This distribution is managed through a package manager. On top of this distribution you could stack a user package manager.

In this view, you cannot compare apt or yum to home brew, they don’t belong to the same layer.

If you think about it, that makes sense. User package managers have to rely on the underlying layer to provide tools for e.g. compiling user packages.

Now I agree that in real life, the limit between layers can be more blurry:

- system package managers distribute end users softwares. Because most desktops are single user so having an extra layer is often not necessary.

- some system package managers are re-purposed to be stacked as user package managers. E.g. you can use gentoo prefix.

Still, to have a clear picture in mind the layers should be considered.

That being said, there are a bunch of user package managers you can also use on Linux. Have a look at spack for instance. I think the nix package manager can be used like that also.

Stop ‘Vacation Shaming’ Your IT Staff
I have had several S76 Laptops - and all of them, the cases are plastic and very chintzy. Several had screws fall out inside the case and rattle around, but this is all Clevo's fault...

:-(

Their support has been fantastic, and although I switched back to other machines - I still would buy one.

The bang-for-the-buck on the guts was really good (cant comment on the value of this Threadripper box though...)

As an aside; the Michael Dell "How I built this" podcast ep is worth a listen...
From the main article:

>...South Central Hospital. The deputy director went there to help in their ICU. He found that two-thirds of the medical staff in the ICU were already infected.

I was thinking maybe they should get low risk health workers (young fit) to deliberately get the virus under holiday conditions and then return to run the hospitals when immune.
Yes, that's mentioned in the article, but it happened after this particular game.
The nature of the software Google rights still requires quite a bit of specialization or quite a bit of adaptability, in general.
>how do we kill em all

A low cost, low tech method to kill mosquitoes in a room guaranteed:

A (foldable?) 6x6 foot mosquito zapper powered by a small lead acid battery (should last a few days?) will do wonders world wide right NOW.

The current must be safe enough for babies to touch. Cos people will zap themselves guaranteed.

I'll love it if someone could create one using those dc high voltage generator kits from eBay or AliExpress. And make tutorial for it.
I think the author is being a bit fast and loose with Koch's quotes. Koch is not postulating that computers can never be conscious, he's generally saying current approaches to making computer systems are not based on feedback hence can't be conscious because IIT requires feedback.

This paraphrase "Koch believes the theory establishes that machines built along the lines of our current silicon-chip technology can never become conscious, no matter what awesome degree of processing power they possess." would seem to come from this statement: "Whether or not a network has this property of influencing itself depends on its architecture. If information is merely “fed forward” to convert inputs to outputs, as in digital computers, then IIT insists it can only generate zombie intelligence."

However all IIT (and presumably therefore Koch) requires we do to solve this is use a different architecture (i.e. some kind of self-modifying feedback approach in the computer). "In Koch’s words, consciousness is “a system’s ability to be acted upon by its own state in the past and to influence its own future.”"
I found the paper to be quite exciting, and it is also solving one of the main tasks in anomaly detection, that is real-time anomaly detection. With other machine/deep learning based algorithms, one can model the data distribution quite efficiently, but there is a tradeoff of flagging time. With the statistical method suggested in the paper, you not only get state-of-the-art results but are also able to report the results in real-time, a big plus.

Which is interesting because US automakers pushed planned obsolescence as a way to reduce the used car market to lower the net cost of buying a new car.
So who buys and repairs the cabs? In the US, it's mostly the cab companies. Drivers just have to pay a fixed night's rental, plus fuel. If,say, the transmission fails, the driver just swaps to a different cab; it's the cab company that's on the hook for the thousands in repairs.
>You like others conflate "how","what" and "why". Whether or not it is biomechanics,electrochemicals or a projected hologram of quanta is "how", so is whether or not stimuli or measurement of stimuli form our reality perception

I'm not conflating anything. I'm trying to understand the meaning behind phrases like "reality perception" - which convey little meaning without a definition. “What” “Why” & “How” are used to grasp at meanings.

See, words are for conveying meaning. When they have too broad of a definition, little information is conveyed (which is why phatic expressions and small talk suck). To better convey meaning, we form more stringent definitions and create new words. Notice however, the formation of new words and stricter definitions is a never ending pursuit, otherwise
if we could fully explain things we would end doing so.

For example, notice we started somewhere with a definition for life, and then years go by and it ends up being too ill-suited for discriminating life from non-life. So we add additional words to describe what makes life... life. Eventually we'll either have a well defined line between what makes something living and non-living, or we perpetually keep on tacking on existing words or new words to describe it. The same goes for intelligence.

I can only see two scenario’s:

Scenario A: We end up perpetually trying to define intelligence, and thus we’ll always struggle to differentiate intelligence.

Scenario B: we come to full stop and are able to fully explain everything (at least regarding intelligence). At which point intelligence will be fully differentiable.

Are we at scenario B yet? Then it should be easy to come up with a satisfactory test for AI, let alone know if it’s even a possibility. Yet here we are today still unsatisfied by the state of computer intelligence… This is what I mean in my OP by: “These terms require aggrandizing to the point of impossibility or they lose all apparent meaning.”

Anyhow, I like your points on self-aware introspection and self-preserving strategy formation. But I'm not yet convinced that it has strict enough definitions to differentiate if something is truly AI. I mean is a computer that tries to prevent itself from going into sleep mode, and is aware when attempts are being made to put it into sleep mode - fit your definition? It kind of does... yet, I think we'd agree that wouldn't be AI.
Even after a decade as a Windows power user, touching the registry is absolutely a last resort option; the number of side effects, unintended consequences, and chances of registry corruption are crazy. There's no solid documentation! I'd rather (and have) make changes to the kernel on my Linux box, edit drivers, mess with the boot sequence. You can read about what each thing does, make backups, and like you said, just restore a previous state. So much more straightforward than messing with vague hex values...

I don't think that's an accurate reading of the comment you're responding to. On the contrary, the poster seems to be making a slippery-slope argument about the specific issue the article is about: the bleedover from surveillance capitalism to empowering law enforcement, and the reasons people might support this now but regret it later.

Get in contact with your local friendly tech recruiter and he'll ask about your experience and salary expectations. And when a recruitment firm is engaged, salary bands are communicated, though they're not often advertised. The recruitment firm (who employs your recruiter) is the matchmaker.

And if you're in a position to hire, you'll get lots of spam from recruiters, directly advertising candidates & CVs along with their salary expectations - it's unusual not to get a salary expectation in a cold approach from a recruiter.

> When ambitions software companies from Europe have a good idea and want to grow fast, they just launch directly in the US market, ignoring the EU for the beginning.

Another variant I've observed is launching in the EU first, hiring locally at low cost but also having low profits. Then once the idea is validated, the move to US (sometimes literally moving the company headquarters) seems obvious.
Public education differs pretty widely from state to state. However, there has been a general trend to start allowing charter schools to exist and for them to allow for enrollment based off of broader geographic area.

Specifically here in Arkansas the laws have created a mess. Unintended consequence or planned loophole, but in any case you pretty much can have your kid apply to any charter school in this state.

In Figure 7 of the paper, we show an example of detection when neither edge/source/destination is individually anomalous but as a whole, it is a microcluster anomaly. It can similarly be detected when there are multiple web-hosting servers.
> You just need to be somewhat good at what you do.

This is a vague statement that makes your premise unfalsifiable. If someone is not hired because of ageism, it is always possible to say they weren't good enough at their jobs, because good enough is never defined.

My best wishes to him and his family, and I hope that some path to reconciliation between our governments can be found.
Right. And between going after Microsoft, Google, Facebook, and now Apple one really has to wonder if "biggest offender" just coincidentally seems to mean the same thing as "non-European offender" or if there's a reason for this pattern.
>Bees sting and kill people each year but no one would ever attempt to sterilize all of the bees.

I don’t think bee stings kill hundreds of thousands of people every year. The death toll from malaria alone is over 400,000 people every year mostly children.

I think that the benefits from wiping out disease causing mosquitoes are worth the risk.

You would immediately save hundreds of thousands of lives every year as well as keep millions of people from being sick and disabled.
It's not illegal to mention it. It's illegal to not hire someone for that reason. For that reason, mentioning it would be stupid, whether you are discriminating illegally or not, and so it's a common misconception that mentioning or asking certain questions is illegal.

Journalistic integrity comes and goes. The Washington Post seemed like a beacon of truthfulness when Trump attacked the free press and they adopted the slogan “Democracy dies in darkness.” Recently they have forgone truthfulness in favor of “truthiness”. Their hypocrisy on fact-checking Sanders and the Times’ calling him “Other” when he was in the lead were very telling.

Journalists with corporate sponsors are just advertisers by another name.
Stopping illegal logging is worth the death of hundreds of thousands of children every year? That is a low ball estimate of the death due to mosquito borne illnesses.
Not psychrometric...the ones I'm thinking of look exactly the same as this, but allow you to solve a system of equations by drawing a straight line between points on two columns, thus making the intersection of the line with the other columns your "answer" for those variables.

The scales are sometimes very strange, in order to achieve this effect.
Yea, sorry about that.

"It's literally just Friedman's opinion, and one that's come under increasing challenge"

If you are flexible enough about what "maximizing shareholder value" means, then it's not an endorsement of any behavior anyone disapproves of. You could say the real issue is just that people do bad stuff and say that it is maximizing value.

Corporations often say they have to do stuff to maximize shareholder value, but they also often say they have to act in the worst possible way permitted by law, because that is the standard the law sets. That is, without referencing shareholder value. Maybe it's all just nonsense excuses by people who do bad stuff?

Bondholders (as well as employees and others) come before shareholders in bankruptcy, so it seems like in a very concrete way, maximizing shareholder value is not a feature of it and never has been.
Sure - as it happens my nation (Australia) has far fewer of the kind of entanglements that prompt this particular activity, compared to Israel. But you can entirely sure that if we did, we'd allow tech spying lobbyists to write the necessary laws to cover them.

You can log the shoes you wore for any given run. And then you can see aggregate statistics for this across everyone's runs.
Vector reduction.

That's the principle mechanism of public health to epidemiological outbreaks: reduce the likelyhood and rate of transmission between people.

This is why the appropriate response is to curtail transport, especially long-distance modes which occur faster than onset of symptoms (e.g., air flights from known epidemic zones). It's why locking down cities within epidemic zones, restricting mobility between cities where outbreaks have occurred, wearing barrier protection to prevent both contracting and transmitting particles, disinfecting infected surfaces, and limiting social and business contact, are all primary responses.

Get a flu shot, if you haven't already. Not because it'll keep you from getting 2019-nCoV, but because you don't want to be confusing having the flu with having nCoV, and you don't want to have to be out getting treated for flu whilst nCoV's circulating. And having all others treating you like Typhoid Mary to boot.

Wash your hands.

Carry (and use) alcohol-based hand sanitiser. (Antibiotic is useless against virus.)

Wash the doorknobs, light switches, taps, knobs/pulls, and bannisters in your home, regularly. Keep visitors and guests to a minimum. Don't touch your hands to your face, eyes, nose, or ears.

Look for indications of breakout in your area on news or online. Realise that if there's a breakout, the disease has likely already been circulating for several weeks, e.g., the risk is high. Currently, outside of China, there are very few places at risk -- Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Japan, Thailand, and South Korea are the major additional locations.

Transmission seems to require several hours of fairly close contact.

Stocking up on cleaning supplies generally makes more sense than masks, which are of limited use or efficacy.

Some somewhat nonobvious practices (salt-infused masks, apparently, others may exist) seem to reduce transmission or viral capability profoundly.

For now, the containment trends are strongly positive, outbreaks outside China are quite limited, and it looks as if measures are effective. It'll be another few weeks before this is certain, things could still go quite badly, but signs are encouraging.

Most notably, the new cases and deaths trends are dropping well below their initial exponential trajectory:

Comments I made yesterday on Diaspora regarding this, and pointer to a now 10-day-old post based on the then exponential growth, in which I'd suggested we should see containment working on new cases by early February, and deaths by mid-February (we're actually trending well ahead of that):

Disclaimers: lay views, not an expert.
It's not just language, it's how connected the social graph is. The centre of gravity for each country is within that country. If you want something to spread with virality, you need to start fires in each country separately; and even then it may end up with the stigma of being "that X thing" where X is some other country.

Booking.com did it very well, but of course the audience for that is intrinsically mobile and cross-border.
> It's centralizing power in the name of efficiency and people talk gleefully about it because it robs the distributors and taxi companies, and movie studios and so on of their perceived ill-gotten power.

I don't agree, because "the movie studios and so on" that you referred were actually the centralizing power, and that power was overthrown by these new platforms in a way that they no longer control and arbitrarily restrict access to the public.
But the data width is the least of concerns anyway. You should realize a 15 bit computer can compute everything a 32 bit can?

The bigger problems are more pedestrian like complete lack of suitable IO.
You sound a lot like the Wuhan government circa late December/early January.

I'm not sure what to tell you. Unless you think that this virus somehow only targets people living in China, it's only a matter of time before it takes hold in other countries. This is not one that you can simply quarantine and isolate away like SARS. This one seems to be communicable at the earliest onset of symptoms, or even perhaps before.
Immunity was my exact concern as I read about the children being shielded from TV advertising. Yes, it's more tranquil at home, but I have to wonder if to some degree those children are being robbed of a strong modern-day immunity that they'll need later in life?

Perhaps you case illustrates that it's a broad-spectrum immunity that needs to be developed.

Last I played, overwatch does indeed drop your elo once you are diamond and above (approx top 10%). Though I disagree with the author as one who climbed from bottom 25% to top 10% - it was quite hard and took months of deliberate, regular practice (~1000 matches). I found it nearly comparable to improving at medical school. I think the author underestimated the complexity of being good at overwatch.
i don't believe you describe the average computer user.
Sure, I know the setup. Just never made it nor seen it made.
Thank you for sharing your project.

I had an issue with using the demo: Because of the "springy" layout where all the fields expand to the frame size, everything just looked like a grid which blended together. It was hard to isolate individual fields and to see where one field ended and another began. I think the low-contrast borders contributed to the issue.
But not surprising
Good point. I hope that continues to be true.
