Agree. They act like they're doing it for public benefit and connected with academia but without being clear if they're a commercial offshoot or charitable or something else. They are accepting donations in a way that implies they're charitable but isn't backed up by clear details (although maybe it's buried somewhere in the site?)

Whether they're planning to be open source with their data would be good to clarify too.
We know a little bit that they didn't want us to know. The CIA wasn't as complete as possible with covering its tracks, and quite some independent research has been done on the remaining evidence. The trouble is the CIA and other nefarious intelligence agencies have worked very hard to discredit this, clearly because they committed crimes against humanity in their work.

However there is still a healthy segment of society that are critical of these criminal agencies. There is still a lot more to be revealed.

Eh, I don't think these schools offer much upward mobility given their extreme cost. Almost all their students should be better off financially going to community college for 2 years then transferring to state school 2 years. These colleges are more so about brand, it's an elite,an Ivy, a Porsche.

Is a Porsche 911 the car offering the best mobility? Surely its fast, but at the end of the day, a thousand other cars get you to the finish line nearly as quickly for a fraction of the investment.

I wonder if it could be possible to mix test samples to test several people at once? Like maybe take 10 or even 100 samples, mix them together, and the test shows positive if any of the 100 has the disease? In that case, the samples could be tested individually.

Also I don't think the consensus is that only a vaccine can end the thread, or that it is necessarily much more dangerous than the flu. I know three people who died from the flu.

I used MacBooks with Linux starting in 2006 till the end of last year. That's when I finally gave up. I really love the hardware Apple produces, but we're at a point where I believe it's not feasible anymore to use Linux on MacBooks.

For the MacBook Pros 2016 and up I put significant effort into trying to get mainline Linux running as smoothly as possible by documenting and coordinating the efforts to have drivers for all internal devices [1], but just have a look where we're at over three years later: Audio doesn't work properly, Wifi does neither (expect for the non-TouchBar models, like the one the OP uses), hibernation is still somewhat broken and let's not even start talking about the advanced abilities of the TouchBar or support for TouchId. I could go on.

Models with T2 chip (2018 and up) are even worse in some regards and I believe it won't get better anymore. Next year we might see MacBooks with custom ARM SoCs and that's where I expect the driver situation will get even more dire. As Apple continuous to use more and more custom designed components, the effort for proper Linux drivers for such hardware only increases.

Most of these problems could be easily solved if Apple would simply make documentation for their hardware available. There are lots of great people passionate about running Linux on Macs out there, but reverse-engineering the hardware is what makes it really complicated to produce robust drivers for it.

I sincerely hope my predictions are wrong and Linux will still go strong on Macs in future as well, but for the time being I'm done with Macs.

How are you able to derive from the article's summary that this is vague?

Beyond that, we all know that "vagueness" was just an Amazon pretext to force France to allow them to operate unchecked, i.e. without providing the demanded protection and deliver any item.
Note that what courts are blaming Amazon for is not to deliver unnecessary goods, but to not care enough for the security of their employees in their warehouses.

So basically, it's not a problem for other delivery services who took stricter safety measures.

If anything, telling them they can still continue deliver necessary goods is a bit lax, because their employees are not safer processing those.

The Amazon answer is quite unbearable, to be honest. Basically, it's "people can't live without us, so we should be above the law". It's time to show them we can live without them.

1. KDE's telemetry is opt-in (as you mentioned)

2. All data is anonymized

3. You can select which information you're comfortable to share

4. If you have it turned off, the data is recorded on your hard disk.

5. That data was always recorded in order to enable other features like "Recently used documents".

Here's some explanation:

Honestly, KDE has been one of the most open, privacy aware and idealistic communities out there. The criticism is quite unfair.

Somebody please write a book on Clojurescript, reframe and tooling -- its about time. There are so many books on Clojure but very few on Clojurescript and most of the existing Clojurescript books are too old and have not kept up.

Looks like you may have been right. Oh well, I hope it at least helps people at the early stages of the disease.
How would you implement a database, or operating system, without a big list of tasks?

Some things need to be designed, and don't work terribly well if they're evolved incrementally from user-visible features. Incremental additions can be, but there's also a risk of gradually degrading the architecture of a system through risk-minimized local changes by interchangable resources, I mean developers - which is what I generally see occur under Scrum.

RE: start of your path trying to be the best programmer as you can be

Thanks. Nicely put - that sums it up.

Back in the day - over 10 years ago - I was a hybrid designer who also coded up his own design (JS, Actionscript, PHP) but then focused more on design & product consulting. I want to build stuff again and I want to learn this craft properly and hence why I'm attracted to both Clojure and Erlang / Elixir.

I think it's important to choose good (virtual) mentors and Rich Hickey / the wider Clojure community and Joe Armstrong and the Erlang / Elixir community seem to be great communities with smart, thoughtful and considered people.

FlatPak has nothing to do with AppImage, is in no way shape or from a fork of it.

https://blogs.gnome.org/alexl/2018/06/20/flatpak-a-history/

AppImage only solves the easy part of the generic-linux-app problem, namely running the packaged appimage; it does nothing to solve the hard parts: how do you build the application so that it will actually run on generic Linux distributions, and sandboxing.
This is not a third solution... It's the first ever thought of. But impractical, very expensive, and therefore, unrealistic.

I tried something similar with Google auto ml a while back. Although I'm no ml expert, I think it's quite difficult to identify plants. There are many different parameters like distance, flowering or not or even time of the year. In some cases it can also be quite dangerous to mix up plants, like wild garlic and lilly of the valley ( I hope I translated those right)
I hope your son doesn't live in The Netherlands then either, because it's going the same way there. And I'm sure in many Western-European countries it's the same. Where people get selected for top positions to fill some quota instead of being selecting on qualities.

These quotas are discrimination in itself. And it becomes more complicated with mixed-race people. At one point one becomes "too white" or "too black" or "too asian"? In Brazil it's become way too complicated and ridiculous [0], for example.

Server: 50,- $ per Month

Keeping it up to date (like 1-3h per month): 300,- $ per Month
Setup & Backup: 10h? 1000$ initial cost
On-Call: Probably not affordable for a small company.

I do get it, it sounds like a super small amount they need to pay to keep this afloat but still, you don't know how much development they put in before and how much maintenance they have after.

Assuming that keeping Servers up-running should not cost any money, is a weird assumption.

This is interesting because I work with professional mathematicians and they are the exact opposite. They always start off with a semi-formalized idea and play with it a lot before trying to hone in on something formal. And conversely they have absolutely no problem listening to / thinking about non-rigorous ideas. They also do excellent work, so I would say this is a positive trait wrt productivity.

One thing that's nice about being a programmer is that I haven't thought about any mechanics of text formatting for many years. When I save a file, it just gets reformatted according to rules that were set up exactly once. I have no idea whether or not I use spaces or tabs, or whether there are semicolons at the end of lines, or whether it's "} else {" or "}\nelse {".

It makes me sad that the least technical users have to use the most primitive software tooling. Something that programmers never think about (because they are best equipped to program their own programming tools) is apparently something that results in national studies and extremely snide articles because nobody will make good tools for them that end the problem once and for all.
For many people, as soon as they have money they want to spend it, and to acquire even more. People really waste their money on things that don't matter (e.g. fancy car that is no more reliable or comfortable than a moderately priced one second hand) rather than setting themselves up with a home and all the tools and opportunities they need to pursue their hobbies.

Perhaps the problem is that people don't have hobbies. Maslow's Hierarchy culminates in self-actualisation. People become desperate when they get to this point thinking money can satisfy all their needs.

FlatPak is a project initially hosted on freedesktop.org infrastructure with distributed copyright ownership under a copyleft license. It was initially founded by Red Hat employees but has attracted substantial support and contributions by companies such as Endless and Collabora, not to mention volunteer contributors.

The sandboxing part was spun off to the bubblewrap project, which has been adopted by the community for other purposes, such as Gnome's Epiphany browser.

SnapCraft on the other hand is a project that requires copyright assignment to Canonical Ltd for contributions, which presumably has the intended effects of keeping non-Canonical contributions close to zero.

To be fair that's the Switch doing that.

When connecting to my WiFi this was a huge blessing - because even the toy WiFi for the Switch has a decent password, and again when uploading SMM2 levels. It's a little bit painful to watch really great creators like Barb or PangeaPanga uses a pad to write names & descriptions.

"It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with", but the Youtube video has to cut there because Barb will proceed to take about a minute to painstakingly enter the text. It's not a big deal, but it jumps out because that's the only part I find easier. (I suck at Mario, but it's fun anyway).
Trump Is a Machine-Learning Algorithm Gone Wrong
Visiting the Stasi museum in Berlin is a nice eye opener for how subtle some intelligence work can be. You can see files describing acts like surrounding a specific person with potential dates that ghost him or "friends" that will treat him badly just to make the the person depressed and reduce their will to be politically active.

Lots of what you see there would be considered delusions of a paranoid person if someone claimed to be the target of it nowadays.

I'm convinced the only reason it stands out is that it's relatively weird to see a fallen government's intelligent files, since one that's still standing would never let you see them.

I have seen and tried to maintain the years of spaghetti code and quick hacks that Agile projects generate. It is a nightmare. I think i understand it just fine. It is a flawed premise. Projects should have concrete specifications and expectations at the get go. I shouldn't be forced to code quickly with a sprint gun to my head at all times, generating heaps of tech debt by having no time to retool unstable or inefficient portions of a project, as i am always busy scotch taping on new features that the codebase was never designed to handle.

If the customer wants a horse to run 60mph backwards, and the project manager has no idea that a horse cannot possibly do that, i have to hear why my "horse" should have been designed with Agile philosophy in mind. Agile is nothing but a bunch of techno-babble that "sounds good" but offers no practical advice on how to achieve those ends. It is the scourge of the earth and would love to see it purged from collective consciousness.
