And what 3ish are those? Serious question. Of the top of my hat I can come up with freebsd, netbsd, openbsd and dragonfly bsd. And those fork like crazy in ghost bsd, pcbsd (I think that's dead), freenas, trueos and pfsense just to name a few. I don't follow the BSD ecosystem closely, but I got interested in trying it out again (since the last time I tried a bsd was over 10 years ago), but my impression was always that the BSD ecosystem had way harder forks that didn't share code between each other (or rarely do) and makes it harder to know what works and what doesn't.

At one CCC event there was a talk about a security vulnerability and it was interesting to see how the response times of the different BSDs was and how they tackled the security fix.
I had a pleasure working with Andrey Michailovich Smirnov when I was around 36 in 2007. He was 75 at the time and was definitely run circles around me. For example, he was able to produce working compiler for subset of Fortran with compilation into dynamic dataflow machine in two-three weeks.

I don't think he was retired.
I work with a ~10k line project and it takes 60s to incrementally compile on a Ryen 3990X. Rust is great, but the compile times do need to improve :-)

The test involved is called the Wonderlic Personnel Test, and is a different matter from IQ although the creator of the test claims comparability. A Wonderlic score of 20 is intended to be equivalent to an IQ score of 100 (e.g. the median), although it's questionable how well it aligns with IQ which is tested using a pretty significantly different methodology - most significantly, completion time is a major factor in the Wonderlic (it is designed to be too long to complete within the short allotted time and the number of questions the candidate completes is a major factor in scoring), which is much less the case for IQ tests.

The use of the Wonderlic is actually surprisingly widespread if you haven't been exposed to the world of industrial psychology. It's supposed to be a good way to screen people for suitability for all kinds of jobs, and there is research to show that people with higher Wonderlic scores are generally more successful in their careers. I do not know of any research suggesting that individuals with a "too high" Wonderlic score are more likely to turn over, although there's certainly a strong cultural belief that this is the case.

The Wonderlic has been subject to quite a bit of criticism. First, it is available in a set of multiple test forms and it is well-known that some of the test forms are more difficult than others, so you cannot really compare scores between test forms like you would expect. There are probably still employers doing this even though the vendor now recommends against. Second, several of the questions are specifically related to uncommon vocabulary, and the questions further date back to the 1940s so a couple of them are somewhat archaic. This creates a strong preference against non-native English speakers. More generally, the Wonderlic is thought to emphasize literacy over numeracy or other areas of intelligence.

Intelligence measurement is a complex topic as many ways have been tried to measure intelligence and it's not always understood how they relate to each other, as they do not necessarily correlate across people. The Wonderlic correlates well with certain intelligence measures and poorly with others, as is often the state of affairs.
It’s not true. If building has any reasonable ventilation (and it must have one in order to pass inspection and norms) it should has at least 3-4 air exchanges per hour. So drying inside wouldn’t make that much of a difference to cause mold by itself. It may be different if ventilation system is not functioning properly but in that case it should be fixed anyway.

I don't know, I liked it for being relevant and showing a real use case. Politics is a good example because if it was like grocery stores or something, it would be easy to conclude, I guess if you're paranoid okay but that sounds like overkill for such a modest use case. Basically for 'enterprise' but not for me.

In reading this I thought, yes I'm sure FaceBook wants a secure fast way to communicate with high-value users, that's a good example, and also something real-life people would want to corrupt. They could've used "Ambassador of Country A would like to send a message to Ambassador of Country B" but that would've made it seem like something only high level infosec types would care about; this made it seem topical to me.

And as it happens, as a US resident, I can confirm the example wasn't sensationalized - that's something that would realistically be posted in that situation, without exaggeration or underhanded commentary.
> Would the world be better off without free (to users) GMaps and free GMail?

Yes, because "free" collapses that entire market and makes it hard to ever get anything else, all while granting a massive amount of power to a company that is happy to break the ecosystem. GMail 1. makes it hard for any new email companies to get off the ground by making it hard to get income, while 2. making it hard for anyone (not an established major player) to successfully send email without it getting blackholed. That is, I blame GMail for the fact that I can't spin up my own mail server and send email and have people actually get it.

Perhaps put better: GMail and Google Maps did improve on what was then available, but in a way that also makes them dead ends for the entire industry, unable to improve beyond a certain point because of how they work while at the same time preventing anyone else from being able to make something better.
It's a cause: we here in the USA are pretty fucking nuts. I've heard a group of off-duty police discussing their work talking about going into a house and literally not knowing if the folks inside are going to open fire with automatic weapons. FWIW, I agree that "the warrior cop mentality" is a problem, and professionalism in police work is crucial, e.g. the Peelian principles ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peelian_principles )

Someone doing this as a Amateur can damn well pick up whatever they need to.
Agreed. I'm not saying that this needs to be integrated w/ k8s. I'm merely comparing it to k8s which promises the same abstraction albeit declaratively. The biggest plus point, IMO, for k8s is it makes managing deployments across physical hosts easy. So, I was asking if there was anything equivalent in micro that would help manage my deployments. And your comment on client side discovery and Load balancing partly addresses my original question. My main point here being, I don't see anything in the linked doc on why I'd choose micro over existing frameworks.

EDIT:
https://github.com/micro/micro/blob/master/README.md

This page is more informative on why Micro over anything else. So I think this answers my second question.

Their website won't load, but it looks like they've been working on a prototype of a keyboard that has e-ink displays on each switch since around 2016.

This has been attempted before: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimus_Maximus_keyboard but with LCDs (or maybe they were OLEDs, since all the reviewers complain about burn-in). The reviews were overwhelmingly negative and you can pick one up cheap used because nobody wants them.

Overall, I find these designs awfully expensive on many fronts. Looking at the keyboard is a huge productivity sink, and if you stop looking at the keyboard, you won't care what the legends look like. And, having 101 screens attached to your keyboard is pretty costly compared to having 0 screens. I think these make for a good conversation piece, but I'm not sure you'd prefer typing on them to a keyboard with a better layout and better switches. And if you want a macro pad, just get a stream deck, which you can buy with same-day shipping instead of crowdfunding it. (Or just build your own. There are tons of kits out there that cost on the order of $10. No per-key screens though.)
I've had this function added to my shell for years:

stripexif ()
{
exiftool -all= "$@"
}
GitHub hides large diffs by default though so maybe that's why
Reminds me of that OLED keyboard ... Optimus I believe it was called ... I wonder if anything ever came of that, or if it's still vaporware.

Tesla was a hostile takeover by Musk who was already an investor (arguably the largest/primary investor), as existing leadership was not focused on getting revenue in the door fast enough for the org to survive (circa 2007).

The article just has these people loosely connected or "active" in the protests. One of them attended the protests, one launched a tear gas canister back at the police, one's mother attended the protests, etc. These aren't the main organizers or leaders dying mysteriously, but rather random attendees dying.

Is this more or less than the number of attendees we would expect to die based on Ferguson homicide rates and approximations of the number of attendees? I couldn't find that in the article.

Also, what's the theory that this isn't a coincidence? The police are murdering random protestors for some reason?

Diamine inks are worth a look a look too, there's also converters for using bottled ink in cartridge pens.

That said if the pen is gunked up inside that won't help, either flush it through or some pens like the Lamy Safari come apart with a little effort.

Icons on keys also force me to lift my hands from the homerow as 80% of them are obscured by your hand positions.

Funny, I’ve heard that about TWSBIs before but not about Safaris.

And if your Safari barrel does crack it still won’t leak ink all over, since the ink is in a cartridge and not directly in the barrel.

The capacity on TWSBIs is great though, my 580 is one of my favorite pens. In the Safari’s price range the Eco is a great pen too.

With all due respect I think thats a bit of a short sighted statement. To say a language offers enough is to negate all of the tools built on top which others have leveraged to build other pieces of software. If you imagine all the things you import are they purely the standard library? Very unlikely. In the same way, Go Micro is built on not just Go but many other libraries.

I think if you find value in using the pure standard library, good for you and I commend you on the effort of the not invented here syndrome. But for the rest of us it is much easier when someone else helps us out by laying the foundations for the next thing.
I have a friend who is quite obviously way smarter than anyone else around. As in: I don't usually explicitly notice how smart people are, but when I first met him it was so plainly obvious to me like few things are.

Anyway: at some point this friend decided all he needed for happiness were books and water, so he quit his law job and spent a year reading. Once that got boring, he decided to hire on as a tram driver, which they were desperately looking for at that time.

He was rejected for this very reason. They have apparently seen quite a few people on this sort of career trajectory, and since the training is quite extensive, it hurt them financially.

A year later, their need had grown even worse, or maybe my friend's dedication made them change their mind. In any case, he was accepted and, after six months of training, became a driver on his own local tram line.

Six months later, he got bored and quit.
That would be nice, because it wouldn't leave rejected candidates thinking they did something wrong. The whims of a panel of interviewers isn't necessarily different from an rng anyway.
EQ is bullshit.

> Some historical and scientific issues related to research on emotional intelligence

> In the past decade, the concept of emotional intelligence (EI) has emerged as a potential new construct for explaining behavioral variance not accounted for by traditional measures of general academic intelligence or personality. EI researchers credit E. L. Thorndike as the first to propose such a construct when he suggested that social intelligence is independent of abstract or academic intelligence. The current paper traces the historical roots of social intelligence and the current scientific status of emotional intelligence. It appears that emotional intelligence, as a concept related to occupational success, exists outside the typical scientific domain. Much of the data necessary for demonstrating the unique association between EI and work‐related behavior appears to reside in proprietary databases, preventing rigorous tests of the measurement devices or of their unique predictive value. For those reasons, any claims for the value of EI in the work setting cannot be made under the scientific mantle.

Twitter also strips exif data from displayed images. That said, I would assume that all social media platforms permanently store that data (even though it's not in the displayed image), and would be forced to give it up under subpoena.

Yes. Read up on data structures and their big-O costs.

Most of the "interviews" are conducted by very-recent college graduates who know the algorithms and their big-O.

The fact that I taught Data Structures didn't seem to matter as none of them actually read my resume (despite having a copy they brought with them).

Well Free, Net and OpenBSD.

I wouldn't call FreeNAS/TrueNAS and pfSense distros in the sense of a Linux dist (since they are non generic, I see them as an "application" that happens to include an operating system).

"All" "distro bsds" seem to follow FreeBSD very closely and building upon it rather than modifying it (providing installers and such while still being a true FreeBSD).

Dragonfly being the exception here, don't know enough about it.

Maybe it is necessary to read the book that the article is ostensibly built around. I hope so, because the article seems to do little to offer an argument for why Rawls attempt at a universal notion of "right" is somehow now seen as a mistake. It closes with this claim:

"In reminding us that even political philosophers who claim to speak outside any particular time or place are, in fact, the product of a particular time and place, Forrester undoes the pretension to timelessness that Rawls claimed, at least for a time."

At best, there's some sort of argument that "a small group of influential, affluent, white, mostly male analytical political philosophers" are now seen less favorably as people, or at least as "influencers". Fair enough, and almost certainly true, but what does this have to say about Rawls ideas themselves?

The closest it comes is by mentioning Haraway's "god trick" critique, which is not fleshed out nor given any real standing. Haraway's critiques and ideas are not stupid, but they stand in absolute opposition to Rawls (and others of his "kind") in asserting that there really can be no universal knowledge (because it is all situated). This isn't really a critique of Rawls, it's just a denial that the entire project of western philosophy can ever be well-conceived. That might be true, but if so it takes down much, much more than just Rawls and his contemporaries.

If I had to TLDR the article, I'd say "philosopher dude from 70s was once super popular, now faces criticisms from others who never agreed with him."
the website doesn't even work for me but I looked up some images, and even if this thing actually exists and isn't vaporware, it looks like a truly bad keyboard.
All the things that actually matter in a keyboard (key feel, travel, ergonomics) are all things this design gets dead wrong. It seems mostly modelled after the apple mac keyboard (which has awful key feel and even worse ergonomics) and to be incredibly short-travel. The design also seems to have no respect at all for any ergonomics improvements made to keyboards in the past 20 years.

Also, anybody buying a high-end keyboard will probably be able to touch type anyway, so what is the point of this product even? When you're using a computer, you're looking at your display, not your keyboard.
