That's literally what RancherOS does. ls is a container. Blew my mind the first time I saw it. But they take the "cattle not pets" approach pretty much to its logical extreme (I suspect that the company's name arises from this metaphor)

It makes ops so liquid and convenient. I love it.

To really push this idea (and microkernel) to its logical extreme, it would be cool to see a null-kernel. You have socket drivers, that's it. Everything is either a network call or some sort of IPC. You might still need something to handle paging, though, and obviously your "peripherals" like storage would need to be more conventional in nature.
that may be so (although i thought that firefox has diversified recently and doesn't depend as much on google anymore) but:

who else is going to do it?
firefox still has the best chance.

the more popular firefox gets the easier it should be to get alternate funding.

a premium browser would not sell. browsers are like operating systems. they only provide value through the content snd applications they enable. browsers are no longer interesting in themselves. noone actually cares. the only thing that matters is, how many websites are not broken.

that's why edge is building on chrome. it's the only way to ensure that they stop breaking websites.

brave has an interesting business model (and i am not saying i like it) by motivating its users to pay for content and taking a cut.

Individual action will accomplish nothing too fight climate change other than lowering that individual persons quality of life. If I stop traveling by airplane nothing changes about climate change. In fact action of a individual country even accomplishes nothing if other countries don't pull in the same direction. It's the classic tragedy of the commons.

If anyone is in a position to do anything about this on the Windows platform...........

It'd be the CEO.

I mean, anyone in that position is likely to be at least a bit more switched on that me, and have access to much greater resources.
So let's fix the problem! How can we get better semantics? Have any hypothetical solutions in mind?
Embrace the rant. While I've made effort to reduce my usage of other Google products for privacy reasons, Google Play Music is literally the last Google service that I haven't removed since the alternative are not much better.

If you don't need the upload features are OK with the same level of privacy issues associated with streaming services, I'd have to image Spotify is the next best thing with Apple Music (really?) a close third.

However, the lost of GPM will most likely make me reconsider using streaming services completely. There seems to be a few options for self hosting a 'streaming' music platform. Just browsing F-droid (FOSS Android store), there are clients for connecting to Subsonic [1] servers which seem target for this use case. I'm not sure how it compares to the popular Plex software [2] (which I actually think is bloated & overkill but I guess it would also work).

[1] http://www.subsonic.org/pages/index.jsp
[2]https://www.plex.tv/watch-free/

A few other apps (personally I use my phone 90% of the time I'm listening to music so having a Android app is essential at least until I can migrate to a Pinephone).

1. MPDroid - says it can stream from a MPD instance which sounds very cool.
2. AMPlayer (outdated but might lead somewhere) - connects to an Ampcache instance which integrates with nextcloud/owncloud. This sounds pretty cool.

There are of course apps that will scrape music from YouTube but I have low expectations.
One cotton t-shirt equals 2,700 liters of water—what one person drinks in two-and-a-half years. Google about Aral Sea.

Cotton farming is also responsible for 24 percent of insecticides and 11 percent of pesticides despite using about 3 percent of the world’s arable land.

It seems like UBI either promotes overrunning the planet with more humans (more resources = more reproduction), or else there are restrictions on where humans can spread, creating housing inflation. Or a mix of both.
That's cool. Although there are some kerning issues... And the lipsum might be a bit much :D
On social media, people choose who to listen to so nobody can "play loud music" to those who don't want to hear it. Censorship is to protect people from wrong-think that they want to hear, not to protect them from what they don't want to hear.
Do you think contemporary telecommunications technology has given fraudsters a leg up in scale, capacity, persistence, and cost.

There are a number of persistent factors. They are well known in academia and to financial practitioners. There are structural reasons for their existence. We are talking about value, fama french size, etc. These are classic factors that everyone knows about.

I think your attitude of dismissing decades of academic research by Nobel prize winners is a little myopic.

Also I don't think you understand what "risk-adjusted" means.
It's not left out. It's well studied. It's not the only factor, but one of the big ones. The problem is, median black net worth is one-tenth that of median white net-worth. Why is that? You can come up with a bunch of near and intermediate causes, but they will all mostly boil down to systemic racism both past and present.

More specifically, government housing is only available in dense urban environments. As is public transportation and services within walking distance. The black population is much less likely to have any generational wealth (like a home or even an old car passed down to them) obviously due to historic racism. Then pile on the fact that urban areas are more heavily policed and the fact that over-policing seriously hinders economic prosperity, then you have a textbook definition of a vicious cycle.
Brave is based on Chrome and, for privacy reasons, the user agent is identical to Chrome so it's basically just a vote for Chrome.
I know this doesn't answer your question directly, but depending on how much time you intend to spend dabbling in AI/ML, it might not be worth it to first learn a whole new programming environment.

So, you might be able to dabble enough while staying productive with C#. Take a look at ML.NET: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/machine-learning/

Edit: And everything you learn from that experience will still be useful if you decide later on to dive deeper with Python.
> However, the maybe more critical issue is about other independently installed software, or maybe closed source software, where you will not automatically get an update once some library gets updated.

If you care about security, you shouldn't be running closed source software anyway, at least not outside of a container.

Statically linked binaries for open source software, containers for everything else, and you're good to go.

As usual there is nuance to this story which the incendiary popular media failed to capture, because it doesn't bait clicks.

Early on the WHO's biggest concern was that panic buying would lead to mask shortages for health care workers. If you have to choose between an unmasked public and unmasked health care workers, having the public go without is definitely the better option.

So IIRC around March they issued the guideline - if you feel sick, wear a mask, otherwise don't. And it made sense in context, because after masks worn by health care workers, the infected are the next most effective place to deploy masks in terms of protecting public health.

Eventually mask supply increased because everybody started producing them. The WHO then changed its recommendation to "everyone should wear."

So I don't really think the WHO did anything wrong here. But because of the one-sided way it was portrayed in the media, the negatives got amplified and we ended up with "WHO NWO EXPOSED MILLIONS DEAD!! BILL GATES EUTHANIZES AFRICA CONTINENT GLOBAL ELITES KILLING VACCINE PEDOPHILIA" all over YouTube. Again.
Agreed. It's a goose chase, the house always wins and even a winning system works one week and not the next.
In Canada anyone who is out of job now unconditionally gets 500/week of Covid money. Pretty much same idea as UBI. The immediate effect that I observed was that all Filipino nannies quit. There is no incentive for them to work any more. I am not sure what they do with all the free time though. Maybe the life was different in rural Winnipeg in 70's (btw 11k was a shitload of money back then), but nowadays the UBI will immediately wipe out the low paying jobs. This may disrupt industries that rely on cheap labor. But what is much worse - it will create a class of people who are entitled to free money and have zero incentive to do anything with their lives, like get education, progress their careers, strive for better live. There is a need for a safety net in a society for those who slipped, but UBI is different. It is designed to make people regress, takes away any motivation.
I noticed this too. I think naming things is only hard because people try for days to think of meaningful names when in reality the meaning and brand recognition from a name is carried entirely by the product. Every notable famous company has a really cool name. Only some lesser known companies have really cool names. Once a company gets famous, it effectively makes the name really cool.

That's my theory anyway, I bet you all are clever and can think of counterexamples.
Wow an even dumber name for a copycat of icracked. Another dumb name.
Please don’t do this! The only way of properly sending your browser code that it needs (like polyfills) is if we can accurately rely on your browser’s name and version string. I can’t tell you how many browsers I see that spoof their user agents and causing us to misidentify their list of implemented features.
Sonic resells AT&T fiber when their own fiber offering is not built out in that area. This allows the customer to utilize Sonic's services and support (being able to call Sonic instead of AT&T is a feature for many people) as well as use sonic services, and allows Sonic to still make a small amount of money per customer and have a built in audience of people what likely want to upgrade if Sonic fiber is built in the area as it will be cheaper for them (and still more profitable for Sonic).

Disclosure: I work for sonic, and this is my personal understanding of the strategy, which may have other nuances.
ReactJS: Normalized-reducer is an easier way to build relational state
The biggest reason why people join gangs is because they're there. It's a cultural problem above all else.

People like blaming it on poverty and lack of education funding and all kinds of other things. Yet compare former Soviet countries to the US. All of them spend less on education than the US does. Their populations are likely poorer than even the poor in the US. Their quality of life is lower, however, gangs aren't as big of an issue because they're not allowed to fester. The culture doesn't view gangs as something to aspire to. Being part of a gang isn't seen as "cool" by large groups of people nor is failing in education.

I do agree that a lack of education and subsequent opportunities is a large part of the problem, but it's probably not a lack of education funding that's causing it. Learning simply isn't considered "cool" by a lot of people. This puts them on a path with few opportunities, which leads to their kids having fewer opportunities.

What makes all of this even worse is that prisons in the US are breeding grounds for gangs. As long as things like that remain a part of society you won't be getting rid of gangs no matter how much money you throw at education.
> Windows users probably gained the reputation for being update-adverse when Windows decided it owned the computer

It is also possible to argue that Microsoft became more aggressive with updates because people were not updating their systems.

I do not agree with many of the decisions that Microsoft made with Windows updates. For example: I am of the opinion that they should have made security updates mandatory and let people decide whether they will accept feature updates. Yes, there would still be issues with that model but at least they can legitimize it. They can legitimize it since we live in a networked world that has to be treated as hostile.

As for your transition to Linux, I would highly suggest finding reasons to embrace Linux rather than treating it as a means for ditching Windows. One of those reasons includes the FLOSS "kool-aid" since the less restrictive licensing model has many benefits that trickle down to the end user. Having positive reasons for using Linux will also make it easier to stick with it when you do come across aspects that you do not like, because you will come across things that you do not like.

And please stop bad mouthing Windows. Quite frankly, a lot of Linux user look like idiots since they spout outdated information. Just as Linux has improved over time, Windows has done the same. Within a few months, there is a solid possibility that critiques of the platform will become irrelevant. Within a few years, it is virtually certain that the critiques will be irrelevant.
This should be obvious to people, I hope. The fact that you might break a law is obviously not evidence that you broke the law. This is common sense. Predictive policing is a joke concept.
You do YC for the network and guaranteed funding post demo day. Getting $125k is inconsequential and has almost no barring on YC’s value to a new startup.
How to Eat If You Want Better Sleep
I switched back to FF a few years ago after they came out with the faster engine and never looked back. I'm surprised more webdevs don't use FF. The console, IMO, is way, way better. In chrome, I see an XHR request, I click it, it takes me to another tab and there I have to find the request again (because it doesn't take me to the request, just the tab) to find its details. FF shows them inline with collapsible tabs for headers, content, etc. I checked a couple of weeks ago. Chrome has done nothing to fix this. But they sure have expanded their surveillance.
Wow. That's an image.
Great observation on the "mee too!" thing. Microsoft is basically a Me Too company. Look at all their products and history.
I'm not knowledgable of QM. But I don't think that's necessarily true, because photons/electrons are interacting with the system at all times, but the wave function doesn't collapse until we actually observe the result of one of those photons/scatters/whatever, right?
No. We're definitely not.

From the parent post:

> It has to do with nonviolent infractions that marginalize people to begin with. Being actually caught with illicit substances , or caught for the unpaid ticket.

> These things are evenly distributed across society, but when overly targeting minorities it further marginalizes them.
> tenured professors

It includes all tenure-track professors.

> which doesn't include adjunct professors

Yeah, those are called "temp teachers". Don't get distracted by the fact that they teach courses at a university instead of a high school. The job is functionally the same.

> teacher assistants, research assistants

That's not a job. That's a thing a student can do to receive funding for their studies. It's up to the student to make sure that they use the time they invest in their phd program wisely. Good professors will help.
I once was driving over an underground transformer when it exploded. A tremendous clap followed by a comparatively long and low hooting sound. Lots of vile smoke.

I was lucky to be in a car. A while back the same thing happened to someone walking over the top of a transformer causing very serious injuries.

I’m always kind of creeped out around iron grilles now.
Which is a great reason to eat as low on the food chain as you can.
I think an AMA on Reddit from someone who wrote/worked for the Onion would be really cool. The Onion is one of those companies that is just really good at what it does and has found an incredible fit in a niche market. I always love organizations like that who choose art over profit.

Please don’t listen to this. You can hire great developers all over the world for far less than $100k.

Using YC’s $125k to hire a few contract engineers to help you reach velocity and deliver a V1 is an incredibly smart move.

Not every YC company is a developer tool or something complex. In fact, looking at the most recent batch I’d say the majority are fairly simple in their technology approaches.

> I desperately want a good code analysis tool for PHP: something that can look behind whether there's exactly one space before a '*' in a comment block and into deeper things like, "hey, on this line over here you tried to call a function that doesn't exist in the class the variable is supposed to be referencing".

Then you want phpstan or psalm. They do actual type checking and static analysis rather than style linting, and do it quite well.

If you do want an alternative for linting, Slevomat Coding Standard adds a huge number of highly-configurable and useful extra rules to PHPCS. I'm a big fan.
Probably not, but considering my comment was confusing to at least four people here perhaps it might be one of the stupider ones.
I look forward to the April 1st version of this tool.

PHP is truly a defining technology of our age. For all the tongue-in-cheekiness of my comment, it’s a matter of fact that several giant web properties were built with PHP and have had irrefutable global impact.
Yes. This was the reality. A ton of money went into DSL/clecs that were gone within years. Saw it first hand.
> Most industries in the US are largely dominated by oligopolies.

Oligopolies are not monopolies.

> an example of wealth failing in one case doesn't disprove the 10 cases where it succeeded

I gave several examples off the top of my head. There are many more. What wealth does is enable one to get one's message out - it does NOT buy the election. Voters still have to like the message and the messenger.

I have been in a couple "close" strikes where the thunder was trailing the lightning by, maybe, a tenth of a second or so. Although they were several years apart, in both cases I distinctly heard—or maybe felt—a "pop" at the exact moment of the flash, similar to the sound of a high-power flash unit.

Maybe it was my imagination but it was so distinct that I wonder if it was the sound of discharge from nearby objects, or … something.

There should be a flag indicating that content is considered 'Not Notable' by the admins so it is easy to ignore in searches if you so desire.

The idea that content is actually being deleted because it isn't considered 'notable' by some person in 2020 is sad. Who knows what will be considered 'notable' in 2050?
I see you posted you are at break even since 2012. Most people wipe out in 3 years so good job.

Superhuman paying customer here. For starters, they are not equivalent products because Hey.com is client + server. Superhuman is an app that sits on top of an existing Gmail account.

I have no problem paying for Superhuman. I use it exclusively for my business email and the way I see it, if improving my email management lands me one single customer it more than pays for itself.

As far as paying in general, I enjoy the feeling that this product won't die off in the same way so many clients have before. Hopefully they are able to build a sustainable business and support a reliable product. Superhuman also has outstanding customer support.
These days the engine authors push through features as standards, not a committee specifying features on paper that are then implemented by engine authors. So yes, more than one engine would mean the "living standard" is not specified by a single engine, whose quirks then become "standard".
In 2019, eight people were killed and 43 were injured in 25 school shooting incidents.

2018 was much worse with 37 kids killed in school shootings.

This is roughly the same as the number of unarmed black people shot and killed by police in the line of duty (at least this number has been trending downward for several years).

Inheritance is slowly fading away in favor of composition.

Drupal is an absolute abomination when it comes to extending classes, as in 5-6 in the chain is not uncommon. However, Drupal was never called for its high modern code quality either.

Projects like Symfony favor Interface model (the I in SOLID), and recent versions address some of the pain points you mentioned.

In terms of analyzers, I rely on PHP Inspections EA plugin for PHPStorm (commercial IDE). PHPStan, Phan, and Psalm are the three most popular PHP static analyzers and they are getting so good!
