Yeah...I have a circa 2008 Thinkpad R500 that I got when I lucked into some WiMax testing/beta thing in my city back then.

It's currently running Mint and lives behind my TV as a basic media player/streaming PC. It's about as fast as you'd imagine given its age, but networking is fine, it can output 1920x1080 and stereo sound out of the HDMI port, and it does just fine with both the bluetooth keyboard and Logitech MX Master mouse (via their proprietary little USB receiver).

None of that stuff needed any weird setup or hoop-jumping. All of the tweaking I did was just UI stuff--finding a balance between performance and making it pretty/intuitive enough for others in the house to use it without headaches.
I don't remember the last time I got in a real trouble with Linux on my laptop. Been using it happily for 10 years now.

Just took my 7yr old laptop that wouldn't boot windows in reasonable time and installed a brand new Ubuntu to give away to a non technical person.

Had another machine, a strong one with i7 and dedicated card running windows8. Wanted to upgrade it to windows10. The installer bricked my bios. After people who actually know what they're doing reflashed my bios, the windows installation was theoretically working but it took literally 10 minutes to start up a browser.
Meanwhile Linux was fine booted from pendrive. I gave it to a friend to get the disk replaced. He wiped everything clean and reinstalled and got it working.

I guess I'm biased and that's why I'm getting the opposite experience to what should happen... ;)
I don't think the problem is how many emails you will receive. It's how often you will be expected to check your email and how quickly you will be expected to respond.

I mean, if I an on vacation in Hawaii, what if I want to go on an all-day snorkel trip? I probably won't be able to check my phone a lot, and I certainly can't do anything if there is a real problem.

Assuming that this is not already covered by your contract, and that you are not going to flatly refuse, it may be worth thinking about possible areas of negotiation.

For example, if you have to be available for 3h per week, you might suggest retaining 1 vacation day of that week. Similarly, you could suggest that you retain the vacation day if you end up working more than one hour on any given day of your vacation.

As well as ensuring you aren't giving away your vacation time for free, this also sets boundaries. The risk here is that your 3h a week effectively turns into you being on call for the vacation.
Sure it's a finite number but it's not uncommon for a faculty member to have 5+ PhD students. It all depends on the number of post-docs or senior PhDs they have in the group. The major limiting factor is really money - if a faculty member gets a $5M grant, they will hire as many PhDs as they want or even get some faculty hire for the project.
Boomers don't care about our future, so I don't think anything is going to change in the near term until either a) we start seeing significant natural disasters or b) the boomers start dying out and lose control of the government or c) there's a full-on uprising.

Having recently gone through an external security assessment, this article is really on target. Especially worth reading are the "top 4" threats at the bottom of the article, which I'll extract out here:

- A developer is going to leave an AWS credential somewhere an attacker can find it.
- An employee password is going to get credential-stuffed into an admin interface.
- A developer is going to forget how to parameterize an ORDER BY clause and introduce an SQLI vulnerability.
- A developer is going to set up a wiki or a Jenkins server on an EC2 instance with a routable IP and an open security group.
The tooling situation has rapidly improved in my opinion, nowadays ghcide [0] (a language server implementation) is really great and easy to set up.

I really do hope that not too many people feel like the message is "keep out". In recent years the community has generally strived to be welcoming to beginners and share the excitment of learning Haskell, without the arrogance.

The aforementioned tooling improvements were only possible because a bunch of excellent people did exactly what you mention: tackle everyday productivity and pleasantness by improving IDE integration deep into the stack, all the way to the information the compiler makes available to the tooling.

If you want to get a fresh impression, ZuriHac [1] is happening (remotely) this weekend, and there is an online class for absolute beginners held by the excellent Julie Moronuki (of haskellbook.com fame).

Storing the lookup map on disk as a JSON-encoded dictionary seems less than optimal for package size and module load time. Two plaintext files (M.txt and F.txt) would be simple and more efficient on disk. The text is also highly compressible -- that could further reduce package size. These things might matter if the package is used in a Serverless environment.

Also, do you think there could be value in identifying classically androgynous names?
Very interesting. Our view of the dynamics of the disease would be upended if, in fact, Wuhan hospitals were having to deal with three figures of coronavirus patients in October or even earlier. If that's the case, it had probably established itself in most of the world's major cities by December; if that's so, why did we have to wait until March to start seeing the mass outbreaks?

I'd be curious to see if there were surges in cars at other major Chinese cities, and how delayed they were compared to Wuhan.

Perhaps worth noting that this is not the Rocket Lab launching small liquid fuel rockets today. This Rocketlab seems to have been a mail-order publisher mostly of NASA public domain stuff, with some original material and other authors. This book would seem to be their magnum opus and one of their more popular products.

They sold this book and Apollo photos and other things out of the back of hobby magazines in the 60s and 70s. China Lake is home to a Naval Air Station, a major R&D location for rockets and other flying things, so it's possible it was a side gig by some rocket scientists there, but that's just a wild guess.

It's pretty rare there are parts with "unclear" licensing. Does it happen? Sure. But "often"?

I'm fairly sure that almost all projects are receptive to updates for dependencies with security issues; I don't see why a distro needs to "untangle" anything for them.

> with system wide dependency you just update that and you are done

Unless the system-wide update won't work with your program.

The entire point of the Go tooling is that you can reliably and consistently build your software, and replacing random parts to create a weird unsupported (by the actual developers anyway) version is something the Go tooling was never designed to support: it goes exactly against what it was designed to do. Hence my previous comment: perhaps this isn't the best of ideas.

We are talking about a continuation of a huge line of the same thing that happened in Europe of thousands of years. It’s not really a question foreign cultures, just the clash between different cultures.

Nope, you can still read Mein Kampf today and many still believe in it.
1+ for the book. It gives enough inspiration for a clean look. The guy also worked together with Adam on Tailwindcss which is a nice class-based css framework which makes designing website a lot of fun. Especially because it gives some “constraints” i.e. only a handful of size options. Makes the whole design more consistent in my opinion.

I used to do a lot of web design back in ~2004-2008 before i became a developer, and while i like that the web nowadays is more accessible the design of today lacks individuality.The brand design is more shaped by the choice of colors and fonts imho.

You mentioned to be stopped by police and to be told to not go to the demo. Theydidn't stop you from going shopping, at least you didn't say so earlier. Seems to be two different things.

All assemblies have to be registered upfront, regardless of COVID-19. SO if the assembly isn't permited, police will break it up. Happened more than once in the last weeks, didn't it? So I doubt your last point.
That strikes me as rather short-sided and not based on science.
Of course. But I was responding to GP which claimed "you don’t have to be in seminars if you don’t want to" as a blanket fact about PhD programs in general. For many (most?), you clearly do, despite there being exceptions of course.

This is not strictly a Japanese thing. I've had similarly tough requirements on my handwriting in a french primary school, for instance.

South Korea is not a “police state.” All of the same info is collected by advertising companies and 3-letter agencies in the US.

No, it suggests the variety of their responses were on the effective side of things, while Sweden’s was not. Taiwan’s VP is an epidemiologist who has guided their response from day one and should be credited for that work.

Maybe people are so hostile about Sweden because people keep insisting they be graded on a curve, contrary to the real success stories.

> certificate warning date

If this is user-visible then for most companies this would be nearly as bad as expiry, and if it's not user visible then it's not useful.

> Make it easier for people to acquire and renew certs

Let's Encrypt pretty much solves this problem. The places where it doesn't work are companies that lock down the use of that sort of software. I don't think there's an easy way around that.

> Formalize a way to solve the key distribution problem described in the article

This problem isn't just the problem described in the article, it's _THE_ Key Distribution Problem. It has a Wikipedia entry, it's a chapter in most security textbooks, it's a lecture in most cryptography modules at universities. It's a _hard problem_. The practice of including Root CA certs on devices is the best thing we've come up with yet that has the security and scalability trade-offs necessary.

If the "replaces" concept was viable in the general case I think we'd have likely implemented it, but I suspect it's too vulnerable, and likely only pushes back the problem.
It omits one of the very promising, but somewhat controversial methods of CO2 sequestration:

Even in the most optimistic CO2 reduction scenarios, we still need negative emissions that will offset existing CO2 or use-case where eliminating fossil fuels is not practical (e.g. airplanes).
Given that A and C are already happening with zero effect, I think that leaves B as the only way we start to see any change.
Depends on the situation, you could say he’s wrong based on how people here draw a line, but to just pick and choose their principles it is risky. You didn’t explain enough of the situation, your work culture, boss personality, your relationship with him, and company size for a more accurate assessments.

> The more I think about it, the more I feel that self-contained static binaries are the way to go. Trying to load source files from all over the filesystem at runtime is hell.

One need not depend on the filesystem for such things. And as bad as python packaging is, others get it better. One can have less-than-static-binaries without being quite that bad.

Plenty of problems with that too!

> If doing a PhD will bring no career benefits

That’s certainly possible if you start the PhD after finishing a career like the author, and in some fields of research too. I just wanted to point out that more broadly speaking, an advanced degree usually brings financial benefits. The Fed recently published statistics on this that completely surprised me: in the U.S., people with advanced degrees earn on average about 50% more than bachelor’s degree holders, and 3x more than non-degree holders. I had no idea the average difference was that high until I read the report. https://files.stlouisfed.org/files/htdocs/publications/revie...

Pretty awesome experience. If anyone knows any more about that project I'd love to hear it.

Satellite imagery of the location yields LAT/LONG coordinates that are then used for INS/GPS guided bombs. No need to paint an un-moving target nowadays. Also, if the electronic signals environment allows it, drone operators can use FLIR/TV guided munitions like Mavericks and Hellfires or buddy-lase using a targeting pod.

Jamming that stops signals to drones is an iffy proposition since it makes the jammer an easy target for anti-radiation and home on jamming capable missiles like the HARM and the AAMRAM.
We had to deal with the sectigo / addtrust expiration. It was annoying because we reached out to our cert vendor and they had claimed it would not affect us (only affecting “legacy” systems or old browsers), but then of course it did affect us. It was an easy resolution, but still annoying.

Of course, we still have people working on our stuff. If it were some abandoned hardware product I could see this being a disaster.

> Yes, but python packages are not for distributing that kind of software.

Where is that documented? The fact that setuptools and distutils.core supported building RPM packages from a setup.py file indicates that python intended to support application distribution. Why remove that capability when moving to wheels?

> This bears no relevance on wheels, which absolutely should not be filled with district-specific knowledge about init scripts and should definitely not write to random hard-coded paths.

One thing I noted while figuring out this issue is that running:

pip install git+ssh://git@github.com/org/project.git@1.2.3

versus

pip install project==1.2.3

where project was packaged as a wheel on pypi had different results with regards to where files referenced by the data_files named parameter in the setup call were placed on the file system. Given that, was the change intentional, or is it a bug with how wheels handle package installation?
I enjoyed my PhD.

The challenge of coming up with ideas, writing proposals for compute resources or funding, and trying to deliver on the research was fun. Most of my PhD was industry funded so there was potential for product integration.

The added bonus is that you're around really smart and motivated people in a variety of disciplines. I was exposed to the hard problems in Finance, Accounting, and Economics hung out with opera singers, stage directors and novelists.

The years I didn't have funding were pretty miserable. 40-60 hours in the lab plus 20 hours teaching per week for $23K kind of wears you down.
