In my opinion OS's should only give you mapped buffers of memory, where it defines the source.. a network driver or a file in the disk, a gpu memory, or simply the heap and the userspace applications would deal with.

OS's are doing too much in my opinion and the problem is that the status-quo of applications expect them to do it, so theres no clear way out of this.

If im not mistaken, theres a paper with the 'exokernel' design from the late nineties, built from a NetBSD, that describes a little bit about this approach, if you are curious.

Our OS's should be like that, and i bet they would be so much better giving they would be able to concentrate in being good in a much smaller spectrum, while applications would probably negotiate less with the kernel, giving us a better performance and stability overall.

TPC and sockets would be a library, and once we need to prototype new shiny stuff, it would be much better to get the needed adoption by just linking to the appropriate library.

Projects like QUIC and gRPC would be much more viral, and i bet they could even appear earlier if some part of the stack were not frozen right on the kernel.

I guess, this will become more evident with time, as a lot of those technologies on the kernel will become deprecated, while in the heat of modernism it look a great idea to stuck that thing that "everybody uses" on kernel space.
Agreed here. I am not involved in the ML space but have briefly toyed with PyTorch/TF/Sklearn.

I see the value in having a CSV data dump and going "I wonder what happens if I run it through X." then a CLI command to find out.

Would be neat if there was an adapter for SQLite too IMO.
It would be nice if the EU also looked at which APIs these platforms allow third-party apps to use. For example, Android 4.2.2 removed the API for putting the phone into / out of Airplane Mode, requiring phones to be rooted to run apps like this:

Not giving users full control over when they broadcast their effective location to the mobile phone network seems like it should also be a GDPR violation.

Isn't it because the preamble begins with `We the people of the united states [..]` ?

Might as well, we already load them up with sugar, which does have known side-effects.

Sarcasm aside, maybe not a direct negative side effect, but if you suffer from poor sleep, drinking too much coffee or drinking coffee too late in the day has correlation and lack of sleep certainly has negative side-effect.

Personally, I'll keep my kids off coffee and other drugs until they're old enough to buy it themselves.

I'm not happy with governments taking such an active role. Ideally they help home-grown alternatives and push out American/Chinese corporations to give them space.

That is probably too little too late at this point though. Google, Facebook, Apple et al. have shown they will not stop until they dominate digital markets worldwide. Aggressive intervention by governments is the only way for them to wrestle back control.

At least with the "Indian Government App Store" there is no smoke and mirrors with regards to who has access to the data. Tech companies hand over whatever governments ask for anyway.
>> Maybe I can help you understand how that impairment—and it is an impairment, however mild...

This is actually a slightly controversial claim. While r/g color-blind individuals do have difficulty viewing colors, they seem to have an easier time seeing through camouflage:

A study on the ability to distinguish tones of khaki:

https://www.discovermagazine.com/mind/in-combat-stick-with-t...

There is strong anecdotal evidence that color-blind men specifically recruited during the world wars to see camouflage: (I have personally heard such an anecdote).

https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/a32spn/color...

And a short YouTube video on the ability of color-blind monkeys to forage for insects, whereas the monkeys with color-vision are better able to find ripe red fruit:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NrmH039ffI

I suspect that if we lived in a world where the color-blind were the majority, it would be those with color-vision who wrote about their 'impairment'. Perhaps with a note about how video games often contain almost-impossible tasks to discern camouflage. (In the real world, video games often contain tasks that require the ability to discern colors that I find difficult due to my r/g colorblindness).

Batteries included are becoming a problem for Python: https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2019/05/amber-brown-batteries-i...

Rust promises to never break or remove anything from the standard library, and Rust also wants to be a language usable for the next 40 years. This means that it has to be careful not to add stuff that's going to become outdated and deprecated cruft that they'll have to maintain forever.

Rust has already made a mistake of including a channel implementation in stdlib, which ended up being inferior to crossbeam-channel. Now, as you can even see from TFA, there's a dilemma whether to use the slower, less flexible one from stdlib, or a crate. If there's only a crate, there's no dilemma :)

> So why are the media ignoring it?

They aren't, media industry organizations have been hyping this story. And media outlets have been full of hyperventilating editorial and opinion articles on it.

And, weirdly, also pushing the “the media is ignoring it” narrative, which as bizarre self-referential media metanarratives go, is a doozy.

> I assume it’s because Wikileaks’ mission came under question because their leaks benefited the wrong side.

Wikileaks had very little support outside of the far left fringe even before they became overtly part of the Russian influence operation in 2016 so, yeah, when they became a tool of the Russians supporting the American hard right they lost a lot of that; the mainstream media, of any leaning, never really supported them but is, nevertheless, hyping the media freedom angle in the Assange case.

Here's a rule of thumb: if a person shows up and reports a bug, and the response is to give a workaround as if that person were really saying, "I need to be able to do X. How can do that?", then the bugtracker is not being used correctly.

Not filing bugs is easier than filing bugs. If someone stops to file a bug (as the original commenter wrote, "to help the project") and someone responds to the bug reporter as if they're trying to get help, then it's just going to annoy the bug reporter and make it clear that they wasted their time. That it's possible for the ambiguity to even exist is a consequence of mixing bug reports with other types of feedback. Bug trackers should be for tracking bugs.

No, it really is that collecting the data is bad! GDPR is not about making breaches less harmful (though that is a benefit) - it is about preventing businesses from secretly gathering data about you, without your knowledge, and using it in ways that harm you.

One of the ways in which a business can harm you through abusing the data they have about you is certainly allowing it to leak out - but that is very much not the only intention of data protection law.

Talk Supplements for PyCon India 2020
React is a complete pig. I honestly laugh when I hear people using it as their 'solution'. It's a bloated nightmare, fueled by young devs that literally know only one way to develop. It's a crutch that needs to go away and privately I hear a lot of senior devs talking about how it's just a matter of time until the whole thing implodes on itself.
Seriously in 5 years the entire industry is going to shift away from this nonsense and I can't wait to see it happen. The entire front-end is a wasteland of resource consuming bloat. The tool chaining is a nightmare, the entire approach just shifts a huge ton of unnecessary baggage to the front-end.
If any of these so called developers were worth their salt they'd be writing in vanilla JS, React is an even worse crutch than Jquery ever was.
In the absence of Google Play, uninstalling software would be in the same place -> settings / apps / needless tap to see all the apps / the app / uninstall. Installing would be download the apk and open it which works today, although you generally have to set a setting somewhere.

There's certainly a discovery benefit to Google Play, but anybody could build an app discovery site and make an app from that with an embedded browser, open the downloaded apks with the system intent and get the permissions prompt etc. You don't even need the special app management permission if you embrace the system tools that are already there. You would lose automatic updates without that though (but then, a lot of people in India have auto-updates off to conserve bandwidth or storage space).

Google play certainly does some small curation function, but I don't know how useful that is, and you could still have Google Play services running background scans and malware blacklists.

> It's why charles schwab is offering free trades

CS is offering free trades because IBKR offered free trades.
There was a cascade effect in the industry last year wherein IBKR announced free trades, and within two months the entire industry also started offering free trades.

We'd need to figure out why IBKR made that change. If you read the announcements, it sounds like it was just so they could get more lending (margin trading), options, shorting, etc fees.

https://www.fool.com/investing/2019/10/01/interactive-broker...

I'm not sure if IBKR lite allows you to control order flow, so there might be some profit there too. I'd guess that's a major distinction between IBKR-pro and IBKR-lite.
Yes and no. A DAG eliminates nesting as a concept, but you can, and probably[0] should, still reintroduce it. There is a meaningful difference between tasks that are conceptual subcomponents of another, vs. tasks that merely depend on another. This could be reflected by different labels/colors of DAG edges (e.g. :depends-on vs. :component-of), and could be appropriately visualized in GUI.

The metaphor of nesting is a solid one - tree structure does capture a good subset of thoughts about task management. So I'd start with a proper tree of subtasks, not limited by depth[1], and then add the ability to link any other task as a dependency (as long as no cycle is formed).

You could expand the types of edges[2] to allow things like "optional dependency" or "starts when dependant task starts" to model parallel work. But I'd begin with just augmenting a tree with backlinks and surfacing the graph structure. And then providing GANTT charts and PERT analysis. I really do want to have the critical path be always computed and evident to the team, as well as available slack on each task.

--

[0] - I haven't seen a tool like that nor do I have working prototypes, so I'm all playing it out in my head.

[1] - I currently have such proper tree in Org Mode - and my tasklists tend to routinely grow 3-4 levels deep.

[2] - Instead of edge types, you could use node groups. Like, have "Task 3.a.1" represented as "Start of Task 3.a.1" -> [subtasks of 3.a.1] -> "End of Task 3.a.1", but multiple edge types are likely to be much easier to work with.
Well, we came to the conclusion that there is no hard border and therefore good answer to that question.

But we also agreed that it's not the most important factor whether it's code, a graphical user interface or a command line interface to make a tool usable for a lay person.
What's more important is that the entry point is easy, and that the complexity and flexibility is abstracted away in layers that do not have to be fully understood from the beginning, so that the learning curve is not too steep.

Of course, my first post was not meant to be criticism of the project, just some pseudo philosophical thoughts that crossed my mind when reading that sentence. Sorry for being too off topic with that. :)

Yes. I got dragged on one by my parents in the 1980s. I wanted to kill myself after about a day. It was like butlins with no escape and even lower standards of hygiene. It’s a profitable captive market to milk a load of people drowning their sorrows in alcohol and feed the slop in return. Why you’d pay for it I don’t understand.

Secondarily, good riddance to the whole industry.

Edit: after reflecting on this I don’t think my parents enjoyed it either. They went on it because it was the done thing at the time and they could tell everyone they went on it.
Standards, controls, corporate structures, standards, and communications emerged out of novel complex commercial organisations of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, notably railroads (complex in space and time) and chemistry (complex in process and consequence). Studies of standards, communications, R&D, etc., fascinating for the sort of person fascinated by this sort of thing, focus strongly on such organisations and operations.

The thermometer-watcher, and set of practices for avoiding incidental explosions and runaway heat would be examples of this.

There's an interesting contrast, brought to mind with the focus on remote work, of autonomous working groups operating remotely an incommunicado for extended periods: merchant and military sailing ships, before the eras of radio and particularly of steam.

Ship captains were not subject to Zoom calls, Slack channels, keyboard and video monitoring, or daily virtual stand-ups, from superiors. They operated autonomously, at distance, for days, weeks, months, even years at a time. They were given mission objectives and empowered to act as agents for their merchants or militaries with remote vendors, counterparties, countries, even novel cultures.

And no, it didn't always go well. Mistakes were made, atrocities committed, misadventure encountered, fraud, abuse, and violence.

For long periods, the distinction between "merchant', "sailor", and "pirate" was at best vague:

But it was the best option available, and worked, after a fashion, until replaced as new capabilities emerged.

I notice a slight depression if I stop taking my ADHD meds for a few days (perhaps up to a week), but after that I'm back to my old (ADHD-driven) self. So in a sense, it's not addictive at all. The depression can tempt one to get back on it, but that's about it.

One side effect of Adderall though is ED, and it's pretty bad. I guess it depends on the person, but for me, the ED was quite bad. The ED does go away after getting off of it.

On (2), you don't learn to hustle either when you have nothing in the bank, the runway ran out, credit card debt, and no time because of the two day jobs to cover domestic and business expenses. A few customers won't bring enough to give you time to work on the product or sales.

Rather than just highlighting likely failure with just the first approach, I think you need to compare both.

Because statistically they won't succeed at hustling to a few million a year in ARR either.

Having no money might make them even less likely to succeed. (I'm not sure about this though, it would be interesting to see a good study.)
