Which is the mythical company treating their low-skill workers far better than Amazon? Does the rest of big tech even employ their non professionals directly? Which of big tech directly employ their janitors and treat them much better than Amazon warehouse workers? Which of big non tech company does this?

>its refusal to pay tax.

What do you even mean by this? Companies can't refuse to pay tax. They have to pay tax as per law. If you mean they are using legal mechanisms to not pay their maximum possible tax, how is that different from Apple or other big tech keeping money in tax heavens.

> driven independent stores out of business

And which big/successful comapny doesn't drive out competitors out of business? Google/FB have driven local newspapers out of business by sucking away all the ad money. MSFT squashed all the competition by extremely evil business practices.

> It will not be remembered as a company that has had been a positive influence on the world

Again, which is the mythical company you are using as a benchmark here?

The average person is not a moron. The average person has a job and a family not related to computer science and does not want to spend 8+ hours editing configuration files and compiling drivers just so they can print a poster for their daughter's graduation.
In pretty much every case, "virtue signalling" is code for "this person is being virtuous, and I don't like it".
Does anyone know a good way to link to Twitter videos directly? They deliberately obfuscate this option and their "Copy video address" is deliberately broken.
That's one shitty conspiracy. If this were Red Hat's play, why would they do it with a project that other distros can adopt and have adopted? If anything, providing APIs in systemd makes it easier to migrate to other distros as long as they use systemd. (All relevant enterprise distributions use systemd, i.e. RHEL and SLES and Ubuntu Server.)
I always find it amusing that people who decry "virtual signalling" seem to be oblivious to the fact that they too are virtue signalling by doing so.
The key here is honesty and showing vulnerability, preferably through humor when appropriate.

This way the consumer knows where the limitations are and you possibly create an emotional connection.

Yes we do (I have to dig out the reference), but it appears to be the same as other Coronaviruses.

You are right that the worse the infection the longer the immunity, but if we are looking at the young they have a mild disease so we should expect a short immune lifetime.

Edit. Have a look at Figure 3 of this pre-print[0]. This doesn’t encourage me that we can expect a long immune lifetime with SARS-CoV-2.

“perhaps it makes it possible to give people jobs who don't deserve automatic trust. Such people exist, unfortunately.”

They may exist, but I doubt there are enough of them, even in Amazon’s warehouses, to warrant the draconian rules for all employees.

I also think people more behave that way then that they are that way. The way you treat your personnel will affect whether they behave like that.
I trust youtube videos rated well by millions of people over the average professor's ability to convey info. Few people go to the top colleges with the best professors.

Most components are already here: you can have a rough 3D scan of a real-world object using your smartphone. The conversion to 3D-printable format can be automated, although the final result could be funny, and I don't think coloring can be implemented easily.
You'll instead find the artisanal hand-crafted propaganda, and you won't find constructive criticism. Usually you'll find massive tomes of apologetics full of self-pity and victimization, and of course absolute hope that Dear Leader will still solve this even if the world is against him.

Is there some kind of "list of prohibited books" in NK (like the Index Librorum Prohibitorum in the 16th century)? I guess not, because anything that's not allowed is by default prohibited?

Using the NFC Chip of the Passport to Do Proof-of-Work
I had a similar thought: chess doesn't teach you to clarify thoughts, cut through to the central points, and reason clearly about things that may at first seem 'fuzzy'. These are the things I associate with 'good thinking', and are much of what philosophers do (morality, free will, consciousness, truth, etc).

> And now he's basically admitting he was wrong. Impressive.

From today's post:

> Firing whistleblowers isn’t just a side-effect of macroeconomic forces, nor is it intrinsic to the function of free markets. It’s evidence of a vein of toxicity running through the company culture. I choose neither to serve nor drink that poison.

In Ontario, Canada, which has a lot of auto plants, there's actually a controlled experiment of sorts that is going on: the unions are in the GM, Ford, and Chrysler plants since forever. Meanwhile they've been trying to get into the Toyota/Lexus plant for a long time and the workers always vote 'no'.

Same industry, same geographic area and culture, different results.

Turns out that if you respect your employees they often respect you back.
Agreed. Yet it seems the ecosystem simply accepts this trade-off. For increased productivity, increased memory-management security, etc.

Correct.
The first half of the meal, the portion they ate, was what they paid for. The meal was suddenly changed halfway through, but there was no option to stop paying. And in this case, the first half of the meal doesn't mean anything without the second half.
The irony with your comment is that it's the tobacco industry which started (and is still significantly funding) the whole anti science/evidence campaigns. In fact the whole antivax movement is part of a big FUD campaign. So historically these campaigns have almost always come from a certain direction to discredit established scientific evidence. The current antilockdown campaigns come from the same corner/often the same people so yes people are sceptical about them, I'm sorry that you got banned for your "well reasoned" post.

Maybe the solution is a law that if someone posts/airs clearly wrong facts. Or if someone's theories/facts... Get later disproven they need to post/air a correction at the same time at least as long (maybe better twice as long) and give it as much prominence. Maybe then outlets would be more careful about posting obvious untruths.
Teeworlds Security Update
Also, a lot of classes are essentially impossible online. Intense lab courses, term-long project courses, and time-sensitive experimentation courses are all screwed. The way classes are coping is interesting:

1. For classes requiring user testing or behavioral experiments, assignments are being processed through mechanical turk.

2. The experimental physics lab is changing from a 'choose-your-own-adventure' model of choosing a final project to a satellite/telemetry/astronomy project.

3. Some classes are providing synthetic datasets or data from previous semesters for lab classes.

4. Some classes are basically finished. It is actually impossible to continue teaching them, so they're purely instructional or seminars, at this point.

A lot of these lab classes are required to graduate, too. They also require so many resources that they can only be taught once a year. It's seriously demotivating, especially for passionate hands-on learners. And paying sticker price doesn't help the sting for many students.

I agree that the link to Dr.Fauci is only "click bait" but, after reading another linked article, I have changed my mind and now I think that the Wuhan lab theory deserves some consideration.

This is the more interesting article in my opinion:

https://www.newsweek.com/controversial-wuhan-lab-experiments...
So which is it guys?

1) It was man-made, and biologically engineered in a lab. It escaped containment.

2) It came into being because the Chinese eat bats. So China should shut down the wet markets.

Because it cannot be both.

The Trump Regime is lying and talking out of their asses, to cover up their own incompetence. And they are saying that it is both. And the American public are so gullible, that they’re believing everything Trump’s henchmen are saying (or at least his supporters are).

Perhaps a more plausible theory, is that it really did emerge naturally from some random mutation in nature. And the Chinese were the first to detect it.

The Lancet published back in January [1], a theory that the virus had no connection to the Wuhan Seafood Market, this was just coincidence that some early patients had gone there.

Thus, the virus existed, before it got to the seafood market.

The interesting new info, is that the French are now saying that they detected their first case back in December 27, 2019, after reviewing old case files [2]. This was 4 days before China published to the W.H.O. about the possibility of a new novel coronavirus.

How is this even possible? Did the virus just magically hop on a plane in December?

I moved everything important off Google years ago. I figure trusting the world’s largest advertising company with private data was sub-optimal.

The cases we’ve seen since, where people get their Google accounts terminated without reason or appeal options, have only made me more adamant in my position of not entrusting Google with anything important.

So the only thing I’d lose that would bother me would be my YouTube subscriptions and watch-later list.

This is literally the slippery slope argument.
Mega-corp executives aren't known for such subtle, sophisticated thinking.
"It might seem obvious the way I put it that opportunity cost is the thing to blame. But it's not."

You just have to look at the k8s hype to see that it's not.

In this industry, I often have the feeling that people are fetishizing complex solutions even if the problem at hand doesn't require them.

But I have to admit, it's not easy to focus on the problem space and really work out what is needed. Most people do too much or not enough.
To be honest there's a lot of talk about freedom of speech here, and the dynamic of freedom of speech vs private corporations right to determine what they allow on their site. Personally I think that this issue is not actually as important as people think, and this problem is just one of several that emerges from a different problem. Our real problem is a lack of competition. There are a tiny number of social media sites that exist at scale: There's Youtube, there's Facebook, and then Twitter.

If we had 15 social media platforms, it really wouldn't be much of a problem for them to make decisions about who they wanted on their platform - whether that be through Terms of Service or crappy DMCA implementations. And that's not even taking into consideration the fact that they're all run by the same handful of people who bump into each other at the local Whole Foods.

The problem isn't censorship, it's the fact that we've got Standard Oil and no one sees it as a problem.
Chess is a zero sum game and is very limited in it's application in life. Chess probably has had an overall negative effect on the course of history by excluding the win-win possibility.

Strategy through the lens of chess results in local maxima and is thereby the worst approach to achieve better long term outcomes.
Thanks for the recommendation - I'll have a look for it.

The motivation-sapping aspects of your day job are great practice for entrepreneurship if you use them that way.
Is your boss unreasonable or difficult? Someday you'll be dealing with difficult customers, co-founders or investors. Learn to keep your cool, communicate effectively, and succeed despite that obstacle.
Do some of your work seem tedious or inconsequential?
When you run your own business, you'll be responsible for everything. Initially, you'll be highly motivated, but months or years down the line some aspects of the job will seem tedious or inconsequential too. Learn how to deal with it now and you'll be ready.
Also, for better learning, you need to find a mentor who can show you a path, before you start your learning experiences start finding a mentor who can understand your goals and guide you accordingly.

The parent comment is criticizing systemd, not upholding the virtues of sysvinit. There are more than two init systems out there, and it is possible for sysvinit and systemd to both be bad in their own ways
> It’s a good default too since it’s weird that “logging out” doesn’t imply “and end all my programs.”

It may be a good default if you're starting from scratch, but GNU Screen has came out in 1987. (Poettering was 7 years old then.)

> This is basically the same behavior as Windows […]

Comparing it to Windows' behaviour is not going to win you any positive points with me. :)

> This is a feature that sysadmins have been asking for.

As a sysadmin this breaks my own daily workflow. I have 400 VMs that are treated as pets and I probably screen sessions on at least a third of them. (I have another 500 that are cattle-like.)

> And they’re not breaking any POSIX behavior. Nowhere does it say when the system isn’t allowed to kill a process.

Aka, malicious compliance. See also: nowhere does it say that the US President cannot fire the FBI Director. Also: nowhere does it say that the US Senate has to hold hearings when a US President nominates a judge for the US Supreme Court.
Coronavirus creates ground beef shortage, drives prices for food restaurants
The entire purpose of designing models is to reduce things that have irreducible differences and then tell people to shut up and deal with it. There is nothing else there. What is it exactly that you think IT gets paid to do other than this? We have finite time on this planet.

Also, things are constantly being rethought. That is quite literally what the churn encompasses. You can't complain about this while asking for it at the same time. I have seen all these lists of other init systems and while they are interesting, they are completely missing where the actual discussions are happening and what is actually being discussed. The core problem has already moved to a different area and that's why it really doesn't matter if they are doing a bad job. I can see you hinting at this in your article but it's not good to dwell so much on things that happened in the past and are already history. I am very grateful that you actually quoted all your sources though, so thank you for that.

The comparison of init to HAL seems not relevant to me; if anything that has made it obvious that they had the right idea but it was in the wrong place, and that init was the right place to put this type of logic after all. Adding to that it also seems very unlikely that the kernel developers will change their position on the responsibilities of an init any time soon.

And about the idiomatic way to daemonize, nobody follows those guides. Nobody. Seriously. It's a complete clusterfuck and writing more guides doesn't help either. There are an absurd number of programs out there that still use pidfiles. Go and do a search on github for "pidfile" and be horrified.
I lost about 5 hours work by getting the order of input/output parameters wrong in a tar command. No warnings, nothing.

> Booting people off of platforms merely reinforces their pre-existing beliefs, and further radicalizes them.

This is just not true. Or rather, it may be true, but it is entirely irrelevant.

We as a society don't care who radicalised David Icke is. It just doesn't matter. What matters is that letting him spread his misinformation causes harm and death. Actual people die because of this. And that can be stopped by denying him a platform. If it makes him more angry, that is absolutely irrelevant.
I just find amazing that the project is working with clojure 1.2.0 as dependency,

Which is about 8 years old.

Clojure hold a soft spot in my heart for emotional reason, but the engineering behind it is top notch.

If any of you need motivation to go and learn it! Please do it! You will never regret invest time in clojure.

The secret is to turn what you like doing in your free time into something profitable. Many of us on here love to code and do it in our spare time. We also do it for a living. You can even guide the work you do at your job by speaking up.
If I only did things I enjoyed, I wouldn’t be able to live because I don’t enjoy most house work, cooking, shopping, plenty of necessary things at work (and I have changed work a few times to maximise what I do enjoy, but there’s limits), etc.

I do feel that a large reason why mundane, boring or unenjoyable things are so hard has to do with overstimulation from low effort high dopamine activities. It becomes much easier to tackle these things if your base level of dopamine is low, so small achievements give you a nice boost. It’s very hard to keep the base level low, though, in our always connected high stimulation world...

> enable-linger [USER...], disable-linger [USER...]

> Enable/disable user lingering for one or more users. If enabled for a specific user, a user manager is spawned for the user at boot and kept around after logouts. This allows users who are not logged in to run long-running services. Takes one or more user names or numeric UIDs as argument. If no argument is specified, enables/disables lingering for the user of the session of the caller. See also KillUserProcesses= setting in logind.conf(5).
I only got to know about LibrePCB at the end of 2016 after several months of development on Horizon EDA. While there are some similarities such as the use of UUIDs and strong link between schematic and netlist, there are major architectural differences such as Horizon EDA using raw OpenGL vs QTSceneGraph(?) and Gtkmm vs QT.

As far as I can tell, the development models also differ significantly: The LibrePCB devs seem to be focused on doing things the right way the first time such as having a proper operation-based undo/redo stack whereas horizon just stores a copy of the whole schematic/board for undo/redo. They also seem to focus more on simplicity for beginners rather than more advanced features such as length tuning and advanced design rules.

Putting development effort where I like enabled me do to the board for my master thesis https://github.com/carrotIndustries/x-band-tx/ (4 Layers, differential pairs, length-matched traces) in Horizon EDA only after about 2 years after the initial beginning of development.
Similarly, people sometimes don't change their opinion on an issue - not because they're stupid, but because changing your mind about something takes work, work takes resources, and these resources are already invested in something you perceive as important.
