You're right, I mixed the two. In any case I think my point still stands; in most European countries both would be addressed with police batons and in case of violence rubber bullets and tear gas. From his tweet I don't think he was thinking about rubber bullets.

Ask HN: Gmail – getting emails intended for others
It appears my name and middle initial are extremely common. To date, in my gmail account I've received highly personal emails intended for other people. They're not spam or phishing emails either. These include:

- police reports

- job offers

- draft divorce settlements

- bills

- sea cadet schedules

It's probably due to gmail ignoring delimiters in email addresses, but are these emails being sent to all variations of the email address? When it's something like a job offer I do notify the sender that they've got the wrong email address, but this is all a bit concerning.
This is nothing but racism. Foreign engineers are no inherently worse than "domestic" born and raised. For proof, just visit any Silicon Valley company office. You will see nothing but foreign born engineers.
TLDR Linux sucks because people do not care much about OS anymore [0], default setup does not run old games, there is no Steve Jobs like dictator, it is sponsored.

-----

From my perspective these are reason Linux rocks

1. Yay! With web I do not care as much about software, I am free to use Linux.

2. Yay! Even for running old apps on Linux there is solution.

3. Yay! I am not a serf, I can move to other distros. And there are a lot of them.

4. Yay! It would be impossible to have such hardware support without sponsors and hired developers. You've done a great job, thank you.

There are a lot of Linux users - some hate Microsoft with passion, some curse Poettering, some crave world domination - you've got a place too!

There is so much casual media attention now:

* Linux Gaming FINALLY Doesn't SUCK! Sep 22, 2018 (2 000 000 views) [1]

* Microsoft Should be VERY Afraid - Noob's Guide to Linux Gaming, Apr 9, 2019 (2 000 000 views) [2]

Steam games just work thanks to https://www.protondb.com/ (wine basically).

I was amazed that MX Linux intro has 120 000 views [3]

And finally, there was one technical question. Linux Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) is developers setup - evergreen /include, /lib. I can recompile all installed packages. I've compiled latest Firefox on Linux. I've compiled Firefox on Windows, it is quite different experience. I've compiled Firefox 3.6 on Linux a month ago, that's different experience too - patching source, requires old pango version. This setup suits me.

Would it be interesting to have make dependencies as they were in Firefox 3.6 days? Absolutely. Does it drug Linux back? No, this case is minor. Same with old binaries. Anyone who cares enough can find or create such distro.

> the ST4000DM000 (which I have a pile of in an array) was replaced with the ST4000DM004

So I had no idea about this, and was curious if this is why I've been having so many issues with 3x4TB Seagate drives in FreeNAS. Turns out all three are the SMR ST4000DM004 model, and I will be looking to replace these post-haste. My own fault using consumer drives!

If anyone is curious about said issues, it usually starts within 24 hours of booting the server. Eventually it will start throwing checksum errors on that array, even with as few as two disks in RAID1. Scrubs/resilvers generally have errors (10+ daily), and if your pool survives "too long," it will start kicking disks out of the array, and will not re-initialize them on a reboot.
My wife is a very successful marketer on upwork. However, she's been on the platform for maybe even 10 years now, way back when it was odesk and elance. She has flawless work history and over a hundred clients - and she told me that recently the number of job invitations she gets are way down and that the 90%+ of the invitations are very fishy. My guess is that platform is now so popular that the quality of its audience is very low on average.
WeWork do private glass cubicles - they get thoroughly cleaned daily.

>It’s overly simplistic to consider them divorced because their name isn’t in the agreement title, and incorrect to say they did not have anything to do with it.

It's overly simplistic to consider them part of the agreement because they did not veto it. The EU in 1985 is not even comparable to what it is now, this was before the Treaty of Maastricht, and well before the Treaty of Lisbon.

There are also other issues. Technology has advanced and information is more easily available. Nuclear technology has proliferated - even small countries can nowadays use it, and probably many large companies also could.

Biotech could be harmful in a massive way, done by a much smaller operator.

So "we" don't really get to say. Someone will just use these technologies. This is what Bill Joy wrote of in 2000, in the essay "Why the future doesn't need us". How do we organize society around this different harm dynamic?

EDIT: In some sense, nuclear technology is a great success story. Not used in anger since the second world war. Countries like Italy and Sweden had nuclear programs, but they didn't end up there. (Ariane and Vega solid boosters are Italian for that reason.) Political ways were found to contain it.

No, because I can search my emails for sender, recipient, words in the subject/body, etc. When I get an email that I think I may need to find later but it doesn’t include relevant keywords (for example, the project or client name) I forward it to myself with the keywords added. I haven’t used email folders for a decade, I rely on searching. I use GMail.

Sometimes email messages have information that belongs somewhere else, like a bug report or a task. I transfer those to the relevant system or document when I receive them.

> I think the realm where the JVM can potentially beat C++ is, funnily, work that requires a lot of memory. The thing that the JVM memory model has going for it is that heap allocations are relatively cheap compared to heap allocations in C++. If you have a ton of tiny short lived object allocations then the JVM will do a great job at managing them for you.

Except C++ also has many other options besides malloc() each of these individual objects.

Of course they are entitled to their opinion. They have one, right?I have mine: they are envious.
Sounds like we'll need to add some sort of buffer congestion avoidance (anti-bufferbloat) logic as part of storage drivers to solve this issue. It can crop up in any use of SMR tech, not just RAID rebuilds. And of course solving this would also mitigate the issue w/ rebuilding drives dropping out of RAID arrays altogether.

Cultural norms typically dictate laws and not the other way round. Case in point: The US constitution granted Women right to vote on August 26, 1920 when the Nineteenth Amendment was adopted. And no, it did not happen with a "stroke of a pen". The movement began in 1771 and their rights finally enshrined in the US Constitution in 1920 (~150 years).
There is no reasonable way that the old license will ever go away unless they do a relicensing effort like OpenSSL did. They won't, so it won't.

To be clear, that is NOT what the article you linked states.

Really? Because literally this week Trump tweeted something and then followed it up with an executive order.

On a related note, RAID rebuild failing on slower drives is ridiculous these days. Is it so hard to implement something like buffer underrun protection in CD/DVD writers? Or just longer/adjustable wait times?
This is because our current methods of machine learning are really good at finding patterns but not very good at enforcing underlying models.

This is my first time hearing about Magic Leap, and it is quite a story. Reminiscent of Theranos. Was the retinal projection tech ever real, even in an imperfect, non-miniaturised form?

Also, I stumbled upon a Variety piece [1] about a Magic Leap conference that sounds straight out of HBO's Silicon Valley:

>However, Magic Leap decided to go a different route. When its CEO Rony Abovitz took the stage at the beginning of the conference’s opening keynote, he vaguely framed the company’s technology as a remedy to political and other divisions plaguing today’s world, postulating: “Our new medium of spatial computing is fresh. It doesn’t carry the baggage and negative headlines that are dominating the news today.”

...

>“The conversation that we are starting here goes on for decades,” proclaimed Abovitz. He went on to talk about Magic Leap’s idea to build city-wide AR information layers — an interesting idea, but not anything we should expect to materialize any time soon, as he freely admitted, while inexplicably bringing up the spectre of fascism:

>“There is gonna be other companies proposing alternate x-verses. There will be all these competing universes and systems, like there is competing governments. There is monarchy, there is democracy, there is fascism, and there is progressive, liberal thought. And these holistic systems will be how governance might happen. How many people live their life. And this is not tomorrow, this might be a few years from now. But you set the stage for that right now.”

>Abovitz seemed to sense that there was still some work to be done before Magic Leap could defeat fascism in the Magicverse — and he promptly proposed to host a Burning Man-style gathering to get it done:

>“In order to continue this conversation, we probably kind of need a Burning Man in the desert. Like a kind of Magicverse event where we hang out for a few days, do a vision quest, build weird things. So more on that later, can’t commit to it 100%, but we think it’d be cool.”

>There were some other odd moments that morning. A third-party developer read a poem to the audience. Science fiction author and Magic Leap chief futurist Neal Stephenson talked close to 10 minutes about virtual goats. The three-hour keynote didn’t feature a single live demo.

Just for the kicks, I tried using deno for a task at my day job.

We had a need to extract records from a database into a textual format to be processed by other tools later. This is the typical task for a throwaway script which can be written in basically any scripting language. There is nothing in the task that called out for deno but I wanted to try it out and so I did.

I basically worked on the script iteratively, doing small changes, running it, checking the output, fixing things and running again. No bundler, no complex NPM tasks. Just a simple spaghetti JS and a single binary engine to run it. It was a very refreshing experience. Using URL imports was pretty nice, I really like working like that since my preferred JS environment is not NodeJS but the browser. I can see myself transitioning all those small tools and throwaway scripts I'd do in NodeJS to Deno.

People relying on NodeJS for servers and tooling for their client-side webapps might need to wait a bit longer, but for doing small tasks and scripts, I think it is quite ready and better than NodeJS IMHO. These are also good projects to give you a feel for the new runtime.
