The desire to cluster makes sense, but why cluster where the salaries are most expensive? If you want to start a software company, why start it in the Valley and not some town that has lots of programming talent but way lower pay? We see so many startups that are paying top dollar for San Francisco office space and a dozen six digit programmers, but the same company in suburban Georgia would cost only a tiny fraction of that, and putting it in the country George would cost only a small fraction of that yet again.

That seems like a problem with gogol dropping support for relevant features, rather than with the semigroup change in particular. If you didn't want to keep up to date with the library more generally, the semigroup change in isolation could have been dealt with by forking the library in question.

Which isn't to say this isn't still indicative of friction in the Haskell ecosystem when it comes to building a large system for production.

Why are politicians making medical decisions to quarantine whole states, based on unproven medical data?

Give me a break. The initial data in an emergency is all we have to go on, and it looked likely that the drug could be helpful. It's still unknown. Same as Vitamin D, which all kinds of people are promoting. If Trump refused to promote it, you'd have people here up in arms that he refused to let people know about it, blaming him for untold deaths if people had simply been informed.

Meanwhile, initial data made it look like lockdowns would save lives, too. The jury is still out on that, too, but it's looking like it didn't do nearly as much as people thought it would.
But that's what I don't understand; "compatibility with Linux" can't be an afterthought when the stock OS uses a Linux kernel. Even on Android, it's rare for the problem to be getting drivers for hardware; the drivers might be terrible and hard to rebase onto a newer kernel, but they're at least available.

> Startups are like playing the lottery

Sure, what has changed over the last 10 or so years is that winning the startup lottery pays close to nothing incremental over working at a large company since most of the equity is now held by founders and late stage investors and most of the stock growth happens before a company goes public.

Hey - the landing page is definitely in need of love.

Part of this is cultural (you wouldn't constantly shout at your colleague in person across the desk) but there are per-group and global mute buttons when you need peace and quiet. Everyone else can see that you're muted.
Once upon a time, when I was waiting for the delivery of the just-announced AMD Vega - which took a while, due to interest miners had in AMD GPUs at the time - I had a loaner GTX1080.

I can tell you, it was not something that worked OOTB. Distributions that shipped Nouveau at least did boot into GUI, but since I have 4k display, it was extremely slow. Unusable slow. It is not due to Nouveau not trying; they couldn't ship the signed firmware files they needed for reclocking.

So after switching to lower-resolution mode, I was able to install the system. Then I could install the proprietary driver. Aside the fact that it ignores Linux APIs/doesn't play nice with Wayland (what would you say about driver for Windows, that ignores WDDM and instead ships it's own display server?), it worked quite nice... until the first kernel update. So yeah, DKMS took the care about rebuild, it just took extra time at the first boot with the new kernel, and I could only hope that the new kernel doesn't break whatever building the shim expects, leaving me with a text console and taking next hour or two for me fixing it. Or that something else breaks, like that nvidia update, that killed X server in the process, which took down the terminal with yum that was running that update, resulting in me spending about two hours fixing the resulting mess. Another downsides were that I had to install compiler tools (which I usually do not have installed, or at least not outside of containers) and telling bye-bye to Secure Boot. So yes, it works, if you tinker. Not the kind of tinkering because you are in the mood, but the kind of tinkering that you have to, because something broke again.

Contrast that with AMD or Intel cards: they work out of the box with any modern distribution. You don't have to install anything; everything needed is already part of the distro. You can also update your system without fear, that something breaks, the updates come with your system updates, modules are signed by your distro and load in Secure Boot mode. Wrt. drivers, it is a Mac-like experience, you can forget that anything called drivers exists, stuff just works. It is something I can give to my parents, leave updates enabled and still be assured, that it won't break exactly at the time I cannot visit them and fix stuff for them.

And it is something that the Linux community can't do anything about. Nvidia keeps their cards close to the chest and won't allow the community to improve the situation. There's a reason why Linus has shown Nvidia the finger.

So in the closing: unless we two have vastly different ideas about what works out of the box means, no, Nvidia doesn't work out of the box. All the people gaming and running CUDA with Nvidia have to tinker.
> Congress has the power to enact new laws to replace rulings they fundamentally disagree with.

Not if it's a ruling regarding the Constitution, which very many of the interesting ones are, they don't. A supermajority of Congress can propose, but not enact, a change in that case.
And my point is, use the system packages whenever you can, they are there for a reason, while developing atbswp[0], I faced a situation with wxPython, where the only package available on Linux was the one provided by the package manager, it's a known situation[1], the workaround I used was, instead of "detaching from the os" to work with the OS, more specifically, install the package with the OS, then copy the wx folder from the system's site-package to the venv's site-package[2].

People started hoarding HCQ in early February when the first Chinese studies were coming out. Didier Raoult's (crazy looking French doctor) reports in mid-March sparked the first controversies. I remember worrying at that point there'd be some big-pharma-backed media operation to discredit a cheap, patent-expired drug since there are trillions of dollars at stake. Trump tweet was in late March.
Do you believe there that the idea of finding "the most qualified candidate" is a realistic expectation? Hiring is a highly subjective and qualitative process with a very slow, weak feedback loop.

How does your company iterate on the criteria used to find the "most qualified" candidate, especially without some way to compare the theoretical performance of the candidates you turned down to the real performance of the one you hired?
"Could you point me to an official statement to that effect?" LMAO - are you for real? That article still doesn't exactly paint a rosey picture - and that's if you can believe the numbers they release.

What OS you run it on? I run this on NixOS 20.03 on VirtualBox, I needed to have "Enable Nested VT-x/AMD-V" since the process spins a qemu to finalize the image.
> I know I'm not going to trust the Lancet or the NEJM ever again.

Wait, what??

The fact that the lancet was able to determine that there were validity concerns with the data and issue an expression of concern in less than 2 weeks is proof that the system works.

Science is never 100% certain. The media has never been a good source of scientific information and probably never will be.

edit: also, if you "don't trust the Lancet or NEJM" then you don't trust a huge number of the treatments available to you at the hospital. These are two of the most important and eminent medical journals in the world and many life-saving treatments began as articles in these journals.
Plenty of other countries have faced US aggression, or are in danger of such.

Also Group video calling features in apps like Facetime and Facebook Messenger are in a slightly different category from meeting centric apps like Zoom and Microsoft Teams.
Somehow people are able to turn Trump's sheer ridiculousness and lack of credibility into a positive - they can say "you're just irrationally attacking Trump" and try to drop things there, instead of having to make the argument that Trump is right.
We have kids with Chromebooks and older laptops and on meeting with 10+ kids, Hangouts Meet becomes intolerable. Not to mention the lack of control - kids mute the teacher, can speak at any time, there's no raising hands, etc. We have to install a bunch of extensions so that we can have a basic functionality in place like the Nod Chrome extension.
>>> As I understand it, it follows because HSBC and has a major US presence and is therefore subject to US banking restrictions.

HSBC operates in many countries and is notably the market leader in Hong Kong and China to facilitate transfer of grey money to the West. It has little regards to US laws.

Local companies only submit to their local jurisdictions (consider an international company as a lose agglomerate of local branches scattered across the world). The US can try to show off but it has little influence over what happens in the rest of the world.

If any government wanted to shut down its local HSBC, they'd have done it long ago (and the officials would lose their primary ways to clear money).
And that's pretty much the reason anything is not fixed/properly built in government software or anything really, every 4 years scrap everything and start from scratch is not sustainable
IIRC, the initial Munich Linux Project ("Limux") from 2004 I think was somewhat of a failure. They spent millions migrating dozens of different Windows applications, but found that certain offices (e.g. the land registry) kept using Windows applications for obscure hard-to-replace services and databases, leading to friction.

Later they rolled back then entire migration just to re-announce a new Linux migration more recently, see https://www.zdnet.com/article/linux-not-windows-why-munich-i...
Yes, muting is on the receiving side: when you mute a group (or global mute) you won't hear anyone, and they can all see that you've muted and aren't there.

The push-to-talk is on the sending side. So when you're not pushing, your mic is muted. And when you click the mute button, your speakers are muted.

It might happen when statistics actually show cars with touchscreens are measurably less safe.

It'd be even safer if we removed the radio all together, and banned any physical controls that aren't on the steering wheel (to ensure you don't have to take your hand off the wheel to use them).

Why do we only care about public safety in one circumstance but not the other?
The way I read what he said he seems more interested by having his work matter and influence the final game than immediate monetary reward.

Given what I keep hearing about the working conditions in the videogame industry it seems like most videogame devs are in it because they like making games and want the reward of telling people "see this cool game everybody plays? Well I made (some) of that!". Otherwise with their skillset they'd probably have no trouble finding work in an other branch of the software industry that'd have better compensation and working conditions, if a lot less cool to explain during parties.

AD allows admins to apply policy (settings) to every machine in the organization at once. And to make sure the users don't change them. The policies cover pretty much everything, and can be applied as strictly or loosely as you want. There really isn't an equivalent for Linux. You can set up Linux equivalents for bits and pieces of it, but the all in one solution that you can just drop down on the network and hand over control to some 20 something fresh faced recruit straight out of college who has not been an admin is not there. This is a huge use case for AD.

Reducing the police's arrests by ~25% will have a ~linear impact on police brutality. That is, it will reduce brutality by ~25%.

I will take a ~25% reduction, but that is not my goal. The goal is to fix the system, not the symptoms of the system.

Drug laws are a social fad, they will appear, or go away depending on which side of the bed the public wakes up tomorrow. The structural failings of the police, that persist through the presence or repeal of any one law are what need to be fixed.

'Which laws are on the books' is not a structural failure. The police should be capable of doing their jobs, regardless of which laws are on the books. If they aren't doing their jobs, the solution is not to change the laws, it's to change the police.
Because very likely that would be another US company again. The whole point is to become less reliant on US companies.
Goes to show that you don't need a fully modeled simulator, you need modeled enough, and then to iterate on it.

(And let the community do some of the hard work for you. With appropriate mods, KSP can have a very realistic aerodynamics model (that handles supersonic speeds as well), and - as others mentioned - n-body physics simulation.)
Hey, I didn't qualify it as 'actual weirdness'. That was somebody else. There's the nub of it.
The lancet has really fscked up a number of elements in Covid19. Not only this, they also published a letter on March 11th saying that NSAIDS make COVID worst.

This is a consistent problem with them recently. I'm more then willing to say that it's more due to error in judgement then malice, but the political ramifications are obvious.
Military outnumber people on tanks/drones/helicopers/missiles/secret weapons by 1:0.
It's generally hard to suggest anything to anyone without knowing a little bit about them.

Having said that, my "stock" recommendation is something really small (i.e. something that you'll still carry with you after the honeymoon period and the novelty is over), and for me, that's something like a Sony RX100 (Panasonic and Canon also have cameras using Sony's 1" sensors with a similar form factor).

1" sensor fixed-lens cameras are "barely" pocketable, and not necessarily cheap, but I feel that recommendation tends to be better than a mirrorless like an A6x00 or an SLR.

I have seen too many people get bored/tired of lugging an otherwise fantastic camera around and then it just starts collecting dust.

Yeah, from a static safety perspective, Java’s checked exceptions are a big missed opportunity: if Java could have figured out a better syntax for them that was less annoying to deal with they could have been really interesting. As it is, they actively prevent certain sorts of abstractions.
Ah I mostly meant more in terms of the denoising, HDR-ish effects, and the like, but I do agree that the sensors are also partly to blame there. I imagine the small size increases the need for noise reduction processing.

I'm suprised there isn't any mention of the relation between monopoly power and declining worker power. I'm not an economist, but it seems like if a company gets a monopoly on an industry, it most likely also has a monopsony on workers in that industry, thus reducing the negotiating power of those workers, since they can't go work for another company if their employer treats them badly. At least, not without having to be re-trained to work in a different industry.
Software is culture, and when you move users from a middle-manager and bureaucracy-centric platform like Windows to a problem-solving power-tools platform like a Linux, it's going to change the culture of the organization. For the better I think, but the people this disadvantages will dig in hard.
It's really good to see official support for Linux broadening.

The underlying problem is that money buys policy. That's not how democracy is supposed to work.

But as long as that's true, you're going to get increasing disparities of both wealth and power - because you have a nice tight political and economic engine that cycles by turning one into the other, and back again.

Redefining value as "social value" - of some kind - won't change this on its own, because that process is just the on-ramp to the main cycle.

And unfortunately it's not the only on-ramp - it's just the most obvious one.
Argh, you're right. I hadn't picked up that the WROVER boards have even more RAM.

Well exactly, so we get the concept of "swing states." For 2020, there's likely to really be just 5-6 of them. The fact remains a candidate has to focus on winning electoral votes, and candidates would campaign drastically differently if they had to win the popular vote.
I've attempted to build automated news systems in the past and have done so successfully a couple of times. However this is completely misleading as the work is not in publishing but instead is in the actual discovery, curation, and writing of content.

I don't know where the joke is from but if there is one about how engineers set up a blog it would go like this.

Normal person:

Goes to Medium, Wordpress, or somewhere else, starts writing and clicks publish.

Developer:

1. Set up ReactJS for the front end

2. Set up a build system for automated deployments

3. Sets up MongoDB to store the articles they'll be writing

4. Sets up the backend to serve up the various articles

5. Builds an integration for Wordpress that enables Wordpress to pull and push (make sure both ways) to the MongoDB system that's storing the newsletters

6. Sets up all the integrations required for SEO

7. Sets up the integration testing framework

8. Write an article

9. Clicks publish
