Well first of all the goal is that there would be no debugging required if the system works well, and in my opinion less moving parts (like GRUB) means less chance that something breaks.

The UEFI boot entries can be configured by the operating system with the "efibootmgr" command (http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man8/efibootmgr.8...) so if a more user-friendly version of it is required then a GUI can be written around that. Whether it's necessary or not is another matter because as far as I know there is no GUI around the GRUB configuration either and it mostly works.

Speaking of GRUB, how it works in Ubuntu land is that there are a couple of scripts that read different configuration files to generate the final GRUB configuration file which is actually a bash-like script (yes, GRUB implements a scripting language) and if you look at it you'd be horrified. The UEFI way of doing things is much simpler.

So the idea would be to 1) check whether the installer is booted in UEFI or BIOS, if UEFI then check if an existing OS is installed and whether it boots in BIOS or UEFI mode (whether the drive is partitioned in MBR or GPT), and then decide whether to skip GRUB (for UEFI-capable configurations) or keep it (for BIOS systems).
> Spaniards more casually use words that sound rude to Mexicans

Yes, this is totally true.

Also Mexicans generally try to speak properly unless they are with friends or family. They typically shush bad words, use more polite substitutes, or they start a sentence with "excuse me but...".

In Spain nobody cares.

> pier25's experience may have been entirely positive

Yeah, totally. I've lived in different countries so I adapt very quickly to different customs and forms.

> As soon as pier25 speaks, no Mexican would call him gringo.

You'd be surprised. Most people in Mexico associate Spanish accent with Madrid accent (eg: hola como eshtash) and since I don't have that accent they think I'm a gringo with a weird Spanish accent. Dozens of times Mexicans have insisted speaking to me in English even when I was speaking in Spanish to them. Once I even had to insist that I was from Spain and the answer was "¿Pero español de España?" :)

With my wife we've joked about making a t-shirt for me that says "Que no soy gringo joder!".

Good. Let's see this in the US, too. An entire room in my small NYC apartment is now just dedicated to my employer's economic activity. I'm basically loaning it to them for free right now.

Definitely this.

We have various non-standardized interfaces currently for home entertainment with machines running their own enterprise software. The playstations, xboxes, apple TV, smart tvs, etc have their own mediocre ways of cobbling things and allowing you to rent / buy / stream.

Perhaps an open-source alternative is what's needed, but that's often so late to the game.
I saw the other submission yesterday and thought it was very cool. Today it's more meh.

The priming didn't hold for me from yesterday. I clicked the first of the four extra examples and didn't understand anything.

After listening to the clear version and trying again I heard it.

But again priming did not hold for me (unlike what's described on the page): each of the other three examples were unintelligible to me (not even recognizable as speech sounds). Again, after listening to the clear version, it became easy, but only for the corresponding sine-wave encoding.

I still like that idea, if only for nostalgic reasons. We did some formant analysis at university, up to trying to "read" a sonagram, i.e. deducing fron the sonagram as shown on the page what was being said.

Don't know for sure; if you have a good 3d model you can pose it infinitely, plus when it comes to Disney or Marvel movies, most of the background / environment is CGI as well so putting an animatronic in a CGI environment doesn't make much sense.

Finally, I can imagine the freedom of movement is a lot less in these compared to CGI models.

You mean literal "outsourcing" where you send requests to companies whose incentives aren't aligned with yours and expect them to fill the details on your best interest?

Or by "outsourcing" you mean simply hiring remote people? Because comparing with the one above makes little sense, yet I don't think many people use that second meaning.

Portable in a sense of have it on a flash-stick in your pocket, all working without need to install.

I once created such a pocket-development setup, throwing in Fossil [0] for version control and project tracking, Notepad2 (notepad2-mod) [1,2] for editor. Actually, Git can also be set up for pocket, which then brings the whole MinGW for this.

I wanted to fit Geany [3] for more like IDE experience. It's also Scintilla based, but needed GTK, so I chose not to bother back then.

Android NDK can be set up this way too. It packs LLVM, so here it is another capable compiler to do the lab-work.

Just learn to program in portable C way, that is know the platform-specific ways to do certain things (threads, network) and #ifdef it properly. However this is a whole other story about how this sort of portability could be handled.

Yes, openconnect was just one example that I know well because I work on it, and I know we don't report to these survey sites. If we did, we would make up a sizable percent of bsdstats.org, and over 99% of the BSD Hardware Database in the title.

And I'm sure there are others (like your infrastructure manufacturers) that could say the same.
Correct. In my use case, I just need a simple replacement for time.Now(). If I needed more (time.After, for example), there's a point that bringing in an external dependency makes sense.
NYC has been hit the hardest in the world, there weren't enough masks and ventilators, and testing wasn't available except to those in the most dire conditions (despite what the politicians claimed).

Also I don't think it's a fair comparison to compare the entire countries given the enormous size differences, the drastically lower population density of the U.S. (outside NYC), and again the lack of testing which is definitely drastically underestimating the real amount.

Also the bigger problem in the U.S. is that tens of millions are uninsured and/or have health plans tied to jobs that they lost, have no sick leave, and are criminally overcharged for basic health services leading to medical disaster being the #1 cause of bankruptcy. This kind of precarity and suffering isn't captured in coronavirus case statistics.
Interestingly, libfaketime probably won't work in go due to their allergy to using libc on linux. I believe they only use syscalls directly for time-related functionality, meaning that any LD_PRELOAD hack won't work.
Typically when you live in another state for 3 or more months you “establish residency”. Not declaring this properly on your state income taxes is tax evasion.

Lying to your company about residency and tax evasion to receive more money is fraud.

So it sounds like you’re going to have an interesting time either committing fraud or flying back and forth constantly to pull this off?

I bet if you were hired by a company while living in a lower COL city for market rates in that city, and then moved to the Bay area you’d be advocating for getting a COL adjustment to afford Bay area rents.

Considering fraud and tax evasion schemes to avoid the exact same adjustment in the other direction is ridiculous and selfish. If everyone did what you did housing rates would skyrocket in those cities like the Bay area and create even more housing crisis and displacement.
For the case of a homeowner that is still paying off their home, I would consider their mortgage payment as the monthly amount.

For a homeowner that has finished paying off their house, it might be reasonable to use a value equal to what the payment would be if they took out a 30yr mortgage to pay an amount equal to 80% of the cost of the house (ie, if they had a "standard" mortgage).

For the case of someone not paying for the place they live (living with a relative, etc), I don't have a good answer. I would guess try to determine what the rent _would_ be if they were? Presumably the amount they make helps contribute to the total household expenses, so the fact that it's not specifically billed to "rent" doesn't make a big difference.

Honestly, I think looking for a perfect answer in every case isn't a realistic goal. Instead, aim for as good as possible in as many cases as possible, and good enough in the rest.
autoconf is a typical GNU project. It looks like it would be horrible and crufty but when you make an effort to get to know it it is actually pretty sweet.

Just a little example of how clever it is:

If you want to cross compile to a target, you can't actually run the test programs you compile. So it becomes important to make them fail at compile or link time, not at run-time. If the expression to be tested is constant at compile time, autoconf will compile a test program that uses the expression in the size of an array type. So, let's say you want to check if sizeof(int) is at least 4. Then autoconf would make a test program that declares something like

typedef char foo[1-(sizeof(int)<4)*2];

If sizeof(int) is less than 4, then the array size would become negative, and that produces a compile time error. No need to actually run the program.

That is the place where I learned about this pattern many years ago. I'm still grateful for autoconf for teaching me that. This is how you did compile time assertions in C before C introduced _Static_assert.

Also note that autoconf has lots of other awesome features if you would like to learn about them. For example it can be configured to have a system-wide cache for test results, which speeds up future runs.

But the most important part of autoconf to me is that it is dependably configurable. On my system, I have both /usr/lib and /usr/lib64 so I can develop for both 32-bit and 64-bit worlds at the same time. Run configure with --libdir=/usr/lib64 and you are good to go. There is no single way to reliably do this with cmake. Among the conventions, -DLIB_SUFFIX=64 has apparently crystallized out as de-facto standard, but you can't rely on it. For LLVM you have to set LLVM_LIBDIR_SUFFIX instead.

Or let's say you want cmake to also look for include files in /usr/X11R7/include and for library files in /usr/X11R7/lib64. Good luck with that!

I'm not trying to say that cmake is bad. It is a good solution for what it is trying to achieve. But automake had higher goals and also achieved them.

But I think cmake vs autoconf is a false dichotomy. cmake is not the enemy here, and neither is autoconf.

I'm actually more disappointed in the hubris of all the people deciding they can make better build systems than automake or cmake and then roll their own, but consistently fail in situations that other people already encountered, thought about, and solved. We now have autoconf, cmake, jam, bjam (Boost), qmake (Qt), meson, waf, python and perl have their own stuff, everybody believes they need to ram a package manager down my throat as well.

To me, life time is the only resource that actually matters.

For every 5 minutes you think saved by not going autoconf, you made your "build from source" users waste 50 minutes per person to get your build scripts to work.

Contrast: New / outside CEO syndrome.

Any organizational design has problems. Founders tend to be better than replacements, but far from universally.

I've worked in two organizations with "Founder's Syndrome." In one, it was hyper-destructive in much the way described. In one, it lead to a lot of soft issues (we felt micromanaged), but ultimately, really good technology which won in the market.

That's why I hate these stereotypes.
Why does this crap deserve a wikipedia article?

It's just a bunch of moaning that sometimes founders have too much power inside organizations that they founded (imagine that).
Interestingly he says one of the great attractions of podcasts is that you don’t really have to pay attention. It’s like sitting in front of two interesting people on a plane.

Most modern media is too stimulating. Massive budget 3 hour long movies, epic TV series, clickbait websites kaleidoscopic with ads, shrieking tabloids, overproduced hypersexualised pop music... podcasting is just two people talking. It’s a relief, a comfort, it’s humanising. But it will no doubt develop the same perversions as other forms of media now that serious $$$ have arrived. I suspect this will really come into play as the US election approaches.
That's not "in emacs". Still seperate process and environment and limited to no integration into emacs.

I'm indifferent to bernie's claims honestly. the point I'm making is that just switching people over to medicare/medicaid is a win for efficiency and costs because the 20% overhead of private insurers for profits + operating costs drop to 2%. savings of 18% right off the bat.

that part is absolutely a zero sum game.

now once you start adding in the rest of the plan the costs go up but that is a result of actual improvements in benefits (a good thing).

when I said worst case I was picking from studies unrelated to bernie's platform that showed an increase vs current system projects spending but it was modest. 700 billion/year in additional costs beyond what bernie has accounted for. and that is using the most expensive analysis I could find.

its probably not going to work quite that cleanly in reality. but the numbers are close enough that its worth it for our country to move to single payer with the additional benefits.

here is one of the sources I used to pull total costs from. most of the stuff I found personally ended up below their estimates. politifact's range is actually far less than the one I used by almost 20 trillion.

> I think it's a perfect excuse to procrastinate.

Well, I mean this does come up all the time, where people talk about how much time they sink into Emacs. Emacs is an interface to a programming language. Of course you can stick time into it, just as people spend hundreds of hours writing code with any programming language. For basic usage, you don't need to. I don't think Emacs needs to apologize for being a lot of fun for experimenting and customizing. Those same people would be scrolling Twitter or Facebook if they procrastinated using Emacs.

This is exactly the reason I've never been a fan of his.

First of all, Jones didn't just happen to show up for the recording that day; he was either invited on the show on purpose or his publicist asked and Rogan's production said yes. You're responsible for the sort of people and ideas you expose your audience to, especially when it's predominantly teenage boys.

Second, as you mentioned, he didn't challenge any of Jones's insane beliefs.

Providing an unquestioning platform for dangerous people like that really does a lot to whitewash their reputation and make their ideas more palatable to a wider audience. It's very dangerous.

Your first URL is wrong, and btw you are comparing two different metrics. The Mexico link shows number of murders and the US one murder rate.

Also, even comparing apples to apples those stats don't paint the day to day reality of living in Mexico. Very often murders are from fights between narco gangs, or between narcos and the police/military.

Edit:

It's also true that crime and narco presence is not equally distributed.

If only that were so! At least up to gcc version 9.3 it does not work. I will try gcc 10 soonish but I don't have high hopes.

The whole reason I installed a cross compiler to Windows is so I could cross compile some search engine code I wrote that uses C++ threads. But if you have a copy of the header and run-time files from Visual Studio (there is a free edition of that now) you can actually use clang to cross compile for Windows from Linux just fine, including C++ threads.
