Totally agree. This has the potential to be a nightmare of epic proportions. I strongly wish Red Hat hadn't done that.

At the same time if you take any piece of free (as in beer and speech) software and don't pay a vendor promising support, you are kind of taking a risk that whoever is doing work for you for free might decide to stop. In no way does that take Red Hat off the hook here, but it is something I consider.

I've got a non trivial migration myself to handle before next December. Depending on how well Stream goes in my testing (so far it's been flawless but I'm not totally done with testing yet) and depending on what RH announces next month (or two), I may be cursing their names next fall ;-)
The point is that it's not generic: there is meaning conveyed by the grouping that can't be expressed as an easy script (which is why there's a human writing the code in the first place).

Since Centos Stream is upstream of RHEL, is it possible for an organization downstream to just manage a set of repositories (or whitelists) so that it only releases the Centos Stream versions that reached RHEL?
LOL..

Those are all unsupported statements...

Step back and it's just a classification system, which we've got LOTS of stats and math and experience to approach it with. Any classification system has false positives and false negatives. That's just the starting point: whatever system is built will need some process for handling (or not) the bad classifications.

Furthermore, in this specific area, the 'true' boundary depends on the cultural position of the specific viewer. What you call porn, I might call an instructional breast feeding video (to cite a specific example that caused a lot of headaches for facebook, some years ago). So there is no single 'correct' classification, meaning that the boundary must be porous. Wherever you set the boundary is going to piss off some people; eventually you're left just trying to find something that works OK for most of your stakeholders. It is, by necessity, a compromise.

Finally, abuse is basically unavoidable on large-enough platforms. People ABSOLUTELY search for the loopholes and push the boundaries, constantly, anywhere they can. So not only do you have a hard classification problem with a subjective boundary, you have a hard /adversarial/ classification problem. (Engineers build bridges to withstand occasional earthquakes. Software engineers have to build bridges to withstand constant terrorist attacks.)

So, it's a fundamentally hard problem, with no single optimal solution. It's easy to get in a huff, and much harder to do the actual work. This, to me, looks like an educational carveout getting abused, and nothing more. The loophole will likely get closed as it gets attention, which is kinda just how these things work. Abusers find new ways to get around the existing systems (because it is fundamentally impossible to predict every edge case), and the people building+running the systems eventually notice and react.

But let's step back and consider your alternative explanation... Somehow allowing nude yoga videos is a power trip on the part of the moderators, which will help them obtain one more step on the stairway to world domination? Come on.

Interesting. I guess a real-world analogy is theft of valuables. If you steal random money, that's easy to turn into value. There's a harder to access criminal industry smelting down gold, which will equally reduce jewelry and priceless museum artifacts to material value. And a unique well-known painting is pretty much impossible to sell if you aren't already connected to a buyer with a specific interest.

Surely this depends on the contents of the information. I refuse to carte blanche trust a government to decide secrecy when every indication is that this is used to mislead citizens. This emphatically is true for both governments in question.

First of all, I don't think Paul Graham read those 5000 article returned by the search. Instead I think he just typed in a chain of academic words he thought represented useless academic research, and then told himself these "tee-hee postmodern bogus." <

That represents philosophy in general about as well as say Theranos represents startups in general.

And that's maybe part of the point, that when interest in the work for its own sake (how fine details of things preserve and amplify culture on the one hand, or medical testing on the other hand) take a backseat to interest in what you can get from it (fill in the blanks here ^-^ ) things don't go so well.
well, I might. I finish college back in 2019 and my teacher who was my counselor, runs several projects trying to make SE and CS more attractive to girls.

In the US it is perfectly legal for journalists to distribute classified information, as long as they don't hold a security clearance themselves. I think this strikes the right balance. Note that a journalist can still be prosecuted for breaking other laws like theft, computer abuse, or conspiracy if they use illegal means to obtain the information. But that's separate from publishing the information once they have it.

I appreciate the blog. I was pretty alarmed by the announcement, and I think as you mention a lot of it boiled down to that devilish-sounding line:

> If you are using CentOS Linux 8 in a production environment, and are concerned that CentOS Stream will not meet your needs, we encourage you to contact Red Hat about options

But, after reading your message I can partially see your point of view, in particular your gist seems to be that in the chain of development, CentOS Stream will sit where RHEL used to be, thus if you believed in RHEL as a boring, stable, reliable OS in the old world then so too should CentOS Stream be a boring, stable, reliable OS in the new one.

This logic makes sense, with one exception: this assumes that the standard for release quality remains unhindered pre/post swapping the position of RHEL / CentOS.

Before, Red Hat was incentivized to make sure RHEL releases were solid gold because paying customers were on the receiving end. CentOS releases were downstream of solid gold, making CentOS solid gold as well.

Now that the positions are reversed, what incentive does Red Hat have to make sure things are stable and low-risk before shipping to CentOS Stream? This is ultimately a matter of trust: if CentOS Stream gets a bad release, no paid enterprise server explodes. Quality no longer aligns with profit motive, a terrifying insight.

>There's no evidence that teachers are any more likely to die from covid than many other essential workers who aren't working from home.

What's the death rate for teachers been since September compared to other occupations like nurses? Is there "no evidence" because the evidence shows they're less likely to die, or is there no evidence because no one is bothering to keep track?

>There's no evidence that these vaccines stop spread

Nothing is 100%, but my understanding is that the AstraZeneca has results showing that it significantly reduces the chance that someone who has the vaccine will spread the disease

Bash scripts are generally very short. If you need unit tests and a debugger you probably should be using something other than Bash. But saying you hate the shell because it's bad at something it was never designed for is silly.

Do you believe that governments ever abuse classification power? If so, should there be any circumstances where classified material can be shared in the public domain?
It's a summary of your repeated arguments in this thread and other threads. If that's an insult to you, then I don't think it's me that you should be angry at.

I am studying human brain and learned that everything we experience has already been experienced before. Given the pandemic here are findings -

1. Humans are very difficult to understand yet demonstrate quite predictable behavior. This could be contributing to the branching factor in evolution.

2. Most people can’t stand themselves and don’t enjoy their own company.

3. Most people, especially in western society, are exceedingly lonely.

4. Most people spend their lives going after vanity achievements, of which, everything is nullified in a snap.

5. At the end of the day what matters is were you happy and did you enjoy your life. Did you do something good for your family?

6. Matrix is real.

While it's indeed unlikely that there is deliberately hiding, there is a chance that the google updater triggers something in some (OS-level) components via some (implicit) IPC mechanism that causes load spikes in those components. You'd hardly see any load for the real culprit itself but those other connected components may run hot.

This user says their WindowServer runs hot. Some Chrome-related software may have entered a state where it accidentally DoS'es the WindowServer either due to a bug in google software or a bug in WindowServer that google software triggers, at least in the system configurations particular to this user.

As I was writing this out, I recognized that the tweets from the accounts on the list I started when I hit the cap are all viewable just by visiting the list

That idea already makes my foot stomping a little petulant, but your idea makes it even easier

I just need a history account, an activism account, a computers/networks/engineering account, a Christianity account, a movie/TV/literature criticism account, an immunology/epidemiology/public health/virology account

Those are my social media consumption workstreams more or less and I could grow each of those to 1-2k pretty quickly but my rate of follows would taper off and it would take a while to hit 5k on each, maybe another decade who knows?

There was an internal group to Twitter that reviewed the policy last year and they dated the policy page that way

I feel this one's fairly arbitrary, but "taken to hospital" at least lines up with how we talk about other public places in a generic, consumer-of-public-services sense in British English. Besides "taken to hospital", you can be "at university", "on your way to school", or "in prison", for example.

If you worked at one of those institutions, though, you'd add an article and be specific - you work "at the university" or "at the hospital". (You'd expect the listener to infer that you mean the specific university/hospital in the area, assuming there is only one.)

Edit: More colloquially, we also have "going into town" (no article, even though it's probably a specific town that is clear from context!)

The article-less usage only seems to work for generic places (hospital/school/prison/university). It doesn't belong with a noun that refers to a person but also sort-of-refers to that person's place of business. You're "going to the doctor" or "the dentist" or "the hairdresser" - never "going to doctor". This is despite the specificity often being superfluous here - the listener might not know/care which dentist you use!
Someday if you feel like shooting the breeze about business, I would love to chat with you. Email in profile.
I most certainly have, but regardless I fail to see your point. Do you mean to suggest Facebook et al don't have rules or don't enforce those rules? That's just objectively false.
> Why should my tax dollars go towards that?

Why should your tax dollars go towards CS research, when nearly half of all sampled papers (circa 2015) can't be reproduced [1]?

As a society, we delegate funding based on perceptions of expertise: someone who knows more than you or I about these specific fields decided that they deserved some amount of funding (probably significantly less than you think). Sometimes that means that junk and fraud[2] gets through; that's the cost of doing business in every field.

These kinds of embarrassing mistakes should be read as an indictment of academic culture and the failures of the peer review system as a whole, not a "gotcha" against a field that you or I aren't qualified to evaluate. Which, again, is why nobody asked for my opinion or yours about which things to fund.

Maybe because public health officials fell they got burnt from advocating masks, after quite rightfully people pointed out the relative lack of evidence supporting them, and have gone too far in the other direction? Tons of officials made in hindsight ridiculous claims like masks being more effective than vaccines, as well as many statements along the lines that if only more people wore masks, that'd be enough to put an end to the pandemic.

Promoting Vitamin D now would likely result in a mixture of unwarranted hype over its effectiveness, angry questions as to why this wasn't recommended sooner, and people pointing out how counterproductive stay-at-home orders were in terms of getting Vitamin D from the sun. It's a big political risk to take.

> It makes me skeptical and quite cynical of their competency.

I don't mean to either agree with or question you. But I hope the above adds context.
In addition to the evidence cited in other replies, this solution has now been verified by the FBI, who has in the past dismissed other supposed "solutions" as the kind of thing you're talking about.

Have you read the last few of these essays posted here? Every single one of them I've read can be summarized as such: "I wish to focus on a certain characteristic. I will hint or explicitly state that negative qualities of said characteristic are found predominately in fields I do not care to work in and often have a negative stereotype about, and also hint or explicitly state that positive qualities are found predominately in fields I do care to. It so happens these positive qualities tend to be qualities I am ascribing to myself in this essay, or have ascribed to myself in the past."

Here is a choice selection:

"Do the earnest always win? Not always. It probably doesn't matter much in politics, or in crime, or in certain types of business that are similar to crime, like gambling, personal injury law, patent trolling, and so on. Nor does it matter in academic fields at the more bogus end of the spectrum. And though I don't know enough to say for sure, it may not matter in some kinds of humor: it may be possible to be completely cynical and still be very funny."

There's very little to be charitable about when reading that. It shows a profound lack of consideration for the fields and topics PG is dismissing out of hand, to the point where one seriously wonders whether he's actually given any more thought to it than whatever reaction from his own youth he's channeling in the moment.

Then there are the unsupported assertions that litter these essays, and they're all more or less alike in character: "Nerds in high school become Kings in adulthood". It's actually not only trite, but overbroad. In some ways it's true, but in many others it's not, but PG tends to generalize the former in his essays.

It's easy to insist on being charitable, but it's a bit harder when there's just so little to work with.
