Lists work fairly well. I keep a set of three, by priority. "Top" is about 20 people I care to hear from, who post either rarely or very high quality. "Medium" is much less selective, and "Voluable" are overactive. I usually have the first two visible, frequently with "Home" (all followed profiles) as the 3rd stream.

I add, move, & remove frequently.

Another interesting dynamic on services permitting blocking is that, over time, the set of variously blocked accounts builds. This can go either way (submitter blocks follower, vice versa), but tends to result in interesting graph partitions over time.
2 years ago was probably pre-1.0 days. The ecosystem changed a little in the time since and the development experience is much improved (especially with Revise.jl and the in-the-works static compilation!). Depending on your application, I'd give it another go.
Is there anywhere in Scotland more than two hours from any town? Only on some islands, I think (Unst is 2½ hours from Lerwick.)
You're asking the wrong question and you'll get 1001 shitty opinions for it.

There is no methodology for how to waste your life better - you haven't mentioned your goal a single time. Learning without a goal is for idiots and public education, created by idiots for idiots.

Figure out what problem you want to solve in this world, in this short lifetime you have. Specializing in a field and doing something worthwhile will take at least 10 years, so assuming you're in your 20s, you have one or two chances to do something worthwhile in your lifetime before you're old and finished (everyone after 40).

One more thing - you have 2-4 hours of actual brain-activity in you, so do the napkin math, you have far less time to do real brain-stuff than you think, because you'll have to work for a living and most work demands you spend your brain-activity on stupid worthless shit such as building websites or another phone app that does the same thing 10 other apps do.

Knowing that, your #1 goal should be avoiding that scenario at all costs. That likely involves attending a highly ranked University to increase your chances of getting to work on research. Knowing that, there should be no time left to self study and your original question becomes meaningless.
My point was that there is nothing (no competing implementation) to be judged against, so it rather wins de facto.
The focus on the social model of disability and how disabled people are first of all people and never assume someone can't do something just because they have a disability etc. has a lot of good things going for it, and it's compassionate and makes the world a better place.

It doesn't remove the fact that some people have disabilities that mean they will simply never be able to complete certain tasks, including ones of the learning kind.
Can I just say, from a non-sysadmin perspective, how happy am I that these days I don't have to install something like Supervisord and just use the systemd + journald toolchain. Setup script is just one cp and few systemctl commands (start/stop/enable).
What a non-article.

> Julia can be used for everything from simple machine learning applications to enormous supercomputer simulations. To some extent, Python can do this, too — but Python somehow grew into the job.

headscratch

In fact every argument the article makes other than _speed_ is in favor of Python.

> But in contrast to Python, you can introduce static types if you like — in the way they are present in C or Fortran, for example.

You can do that in python too via mypy.

One argument they make is that Julia is better because it has a smaller community which opens up old topics for new dicussions which is a really interesting thought but seems like grasping for straws here.

I'm not saying Julia is worse than Python but the article could have been 60% shorter and without all of the language-war click baits.

And how would we then connect our section of Windows workers, which are needed to run some proprietary software?

As long as wireguard is Linux-only, it's not an universal solution. TLS is.
I’m bullish on Julia. But I don’t necessarily think it’s here to replace Python. Rather, I think it has potential to replace Matlab and R, particularly in academia.

I’ve only used it to fit some linear models so far, and it’s obviously performant.

Eventually, I want to get around to writing an API with it, likely via https://genieframework.com/
Linux types I've noticed tend to be more holy war orientated. Where did the classic vim vs emacs holy war come from also?
Same here. I'm interested, but stopped at least twice caused by the tooling. On Windows at least this happened:

- Update problems for packages (refusing for non-explainable network errors)

- hardwired installation path for something I forgot (Juno, julia?)

- screwing python search path globally after installing julias python interface

- more, I'm not remebering anymore

A fully portable 'installation' with decent VSCode support would be the first thing, I needed.
I'd look up those examples listed in history books if I were you; it was widely taken as fact that non-whites were biologically inferior. Look up Nazi propaganda, or what the US civil war was about. It really doesn't take much research to realize that people were (and are) othered using "scientific / biological facts".

Julia is great no doubt. However, all the additional complexity is not entirely 'free'.

For instance, Julia has a performant generational GC compared to Python's simple (but slow) refcount GC. This has the effect of not freeing up intermediate tensors immediately while doing backprop, thus leading to the premature exhaustion of GPU memory while training a deep neural net in Julia. This above issue was flagged with Flux.jl sometime back, and while I'm sure this has been fixed, it's also an illustration of how such low-level implementation details come back to bite.

Pytorch/Chainer etc. in contrast use a memory pool to manage GPU resources (the equivalent of malloc is quite slow), so that Python's 'slow' GC is actually a boon for deep learning workloads.
Have you actually read any of his books, or simply believed the misinformation spread by the media?

If you had read his work first hand you would be aware of how much research, references and citations are included.

It's amusing that you say David Icke doesn't fact check, as this only highlights that you haven't..
The 'shouting fire' example is not a trump card that's valid outside non-live situations. It's not applicable in a live situation where someone [as in your (2)] believes the fire, for what appeared to be a good reason, to be a true risk. Finally, in (4) you seem to believe that an abstract statement is necessarily rendered invalid by someone's failure to adhere to the thrust of its message. It isn't.
There were cellphones capable of sending/receiving a fax, in 2000 IIRC. Apparently it was used by about ~0 people worldwide, so the capability was discontinued.

You're absolutely right with the advertising aspect. YouTube is not simply a video hosting platform. It is also an advertising platform.

YouTube's dominance is not because video is impossible to host but because YouTube takes care of the advertising/revenue aspect for content creators. Any competitor would need to provide a similar service, and that's hard to do at the same level when you're not run by the world's largest advertising company. A serious alternative to YouTube would need to draw creators like YouTube does, and you need some sort of built-in way to (probably economically) incentivize them to create videos and put them on your platform.
Go to their daily situation report and search it for "Taiwan". An entire country isn't there.

Now I don't particularly care whether they want to list Taiwan or not, but the only reason for that decision (when they are listing places like the Holy See!) is because they are moderating their position based on Chinese interests.

This is basically conversation ending evidence that the WHO is willing to act as a mouthpiece for Communist Party positions. That really should be it as far as YouTube's decision is concerned. The WHO are not an appropriate source for deciding what media people see. No body where the CPC is involved is. The CPC is not trustworthy; they can and will abuse the trust YouTube is placing in a body they have serious influence.
You're appealing to authority and you're using weasel words. What are these arguments? Who made them?
It's an impressive and respectable story of entrepreneurial behavior and solving a town's problems.

But sometimes you wonder, some places just seem to not be suited for people to live self-sustainably in, because of location, population density, transportation networks. Maybe $12 milk is one of those signals.
> pressured other projects to hard-depend on it (e.g. Gnome).

GNOME wasn't pressured in depending on it. There deciding to depend on logind over ConsoleKit. Initially logind could be used without systemd, that changed after a systemd version due to cgroups v2. There's quite a bit of overlap between the people maintaining ConsoleKit and the people wanting to make use of logind, so there was a push by some GNOME maintainers to use logind.

The arguments against were often quite weak. When pointed out that ConsoleKit was unmaintained for years the answer could often be summarized as "why does it need development".

> It's a betrayal of everything those projects stand for.

Stuff like this makes maintainers of things just ignore you. There might be a valid point in your argumentation, but why bother.
BoS 2012? I was there and that presentation changed my way on how to (re)think about users interactions with products. I don’t exaggerate if I say that the ROI of attending that event (if only for her session) has been well over 1000x
Which is traffic prioritization on the same channel. Having an extra link for high-priority traffic would be...exotic...but workable, sure.
Switzerland is difficult to immigrate to, wouldn't say the same about Finland, Sweden and Norway though, quite the contrary if you are a software engineer.
Yeah, that's nice.

I think there's a lot of people who get caught up in the merits of systemd and assume that there's nothing better. Or that the alternative is the old sysvinit which was in dire need of being replaced- but that's not true.

Process supervision is totally feasible in init (just look at runit, Solaris' SMF and MacOS's launchd) even Windows has one.

This is not a problem with you, its a problem with how poorly organised your career is. Why do you need to know 30 new things at once?

The internet tries to turn information into water, like a firehose. You gotta turn down the water pressure until its useful and aim it at something that needs doing.

I work for a company with ~1000 engineers, and our build server spend is much lower than what you suggest. If we were spending even $10k/mo on build servers, heads would roll.

$1M/mo will rent you about 300 c5d.24xlarge servers, at on-demand rates (and of course no medium or large enterprise is paying the higher on-demand rates). I'm pretty sure we're running somewhere on the order of 10 build servers, and they're maybe 4xlarge or 8xlarge boxes.

How can "easy verify and submit" hide taxes from the public?

Here in Sweden I receive my tax form pre-filled in a digital mailbox (basically a PDF of the tax form I'd get through snail mail on a website), I can see on the first page the total amount of tax paid, how much I owe or will receive as tax return and then another section with more details about interest I've paid, how much of that was deducted from my taxes, etc.

In about 5 minutes I have an overview of all the taxes paid from my income, how much went to the national, kommun/local government and I'm done.

I don't follow what is the argument about how making this process simple is considered anti-democratic.

Seems to me there are several options:

1) run the last version of gnome that works without systemd

2) run a patched later version of gnome from another distro that works without systemd

3) don't use gnome, use a different desktop environment

4) fork/patch gnome and remove the dependency yourself

systemd can't take any of those away from you.

If the people actually working on gnome want to add another dependency to gnome, that's their business, is it not? It doesn't break the existing, pre-systemd versions of gnome.
And they can censor whatever they like, why not?

That's not uncommon in (very) rural France. We had a bakery-grocecy truck where I grew up.
I remember wondering aloud at MIT/Harvard putting their courses online for free for anyone to listen to, and saying, well what is the value add then of paying to physically go to college?

I guess we're going to find out whether the networking, friends, social aspect is worth it. There's also something about the competitive aspect of seeing other people in person do better than you or have better ideas than you. Which is hard virtually.

That being said, the college experience has gone through events like wars, plague, disruption, etc, and has come back before. (Although not at a time when there was such a ready alternative technology at hand.) I'm not yet so worried as some say (wholesale change to the higher education model), unless this goes on for 2-3 years.
Sounds more like the problem is with the packages and a general lack of quality control with respect to the userland than with GNU init. Perhaps that is why BSD projects, which do have some quality control over userland, can still use BSD init.
Given the insanely vitriolic level of personal criticism leveled at the systemd people on an ongoing basis, some degree of glibness is an unfortunate byproduct.

How about we give them some benefit of the doubt, that they are mostly trying to make things better, and instead ask them "what is the technically correct way, in the systemd world, of implementing this functionality?"

I suspect the answer, for screen, would probably require some degree of messing with the user manager daemon.
He means that you would have to do many single-lead recordings separately, rather than a multi-lead recording once. The standard length of the Apple Watch ECG recording is 30 seconds.
Getting 10 engineers to agree on how to implement a padding function is nearly impossible. Was there ever hope to get thousands to agree at something that front and center? There was literally decades to come up with a solution. I'm sure things where proposed during that time. What systemd did right was get (or coerce) buy-in from enough entities & people to get a big enough purchase to grow. For me, that's the takeaway. It's not on the engineering merit of their solution.
Death threats are a disappointingly routine part of online sexism.
> If you are not understanding what is being taught: the problem is the teacher.

That's obviously false. If you don't pay attention or don't do your homework or skip classes eventually you will fall back enough not to understand what is being taught.

Teacher can't repeat basics forever because there are other students in the class too, maybe they do pay attention and do their homework and would like to learn - wasting their time because one person doesn't care is absurd.

BTW I think online remote learning (which was implemented in my country because of COVID-19) could help with this issue. There's no reason for kids to be divided into classes according only to their physical location. It's possible to organize classes from all over the country divided by results of some placement tests, where every student has problems with the exact same concepts.

This shouldn't completely replace normal school, but it could be useful tool for keeping struggling kids up to speed (let's say there's 1 hour a week of remote math class where every kid is put into appropriate countrywide group of kids with similar problems).

That's just a standard problem for asymmetric cryptography.
