Yes but not being able to copy and paste the code in iMessage by right clicking on it if you're on MacOS reverts this back to 1x. In MacOS right clicking on any word shows the copy menu with that word selected but in iMessage for some the entire message gets selected. You first need to highlight the word you're interested in before right clicking, major pain.
I believe you're on the right path. Exploring and displaying trust between people is one of the big missing pieces on the web.

People are currently replacing the harder questions like "can I trust this person to do what he says he can" with simple or shallow ones based on status and image.

Good luck with this!
Yep Tail Call "Optimization" is nice. But what about recursive functions that cannot be tail call "optimized"?

First example that comes to mind is the Tower of Hanoi algorithm:

def toh(ndisk, source, via, target):
if ndisk > 0:
toh(ndisk - 1, source, target, via)
target.append(source.pop())
toh(ndisk - 1, via, source, target)

The function calls itself 2 times. Same thing is the fibonacci function which relies on the 2 previous results.

Here, you'll certainly need memoization and other techniques to not blow up the stack.
> 5. Company has trouble monetizing the users. Users are pissed.

Are we pissed?

Docker hasn't started showing me ads or spewing MOTDs asking for donations.

I haven't run into limitations that would have me purchase an upgrade.

It hasn't been bought by a proprietary company that would make me start worrying about its licencing.

It's a solid workhorse that's been at all my previous jobs and will be at all my future jobs for the foreseeable future.

Most criticisms of it boil down to "there are other container technologies".
Is this a "have to" or a "will?"

Big tech understands the incredible value that Wikipedia provides, and the link suggests that this move is the Wikimedia Foundation recognizing that they can exploit that to raise more money by catering to these companies' use cases.
If enough users had wanted to pay for dotCloud, they wouldn't have needed to pivot in the first place.

My understanding (as a complete outsider) is that they raised a $10+ million series A for their PaaS. The PaaS then presumably wasn't successful enough to raise a subsequent round, but one of their technologies (Docker) was, despite the monetization path for it not being clear yet. So they pivoted to focus on that.

I'm not sure what other outcome could plausibly happen in this scenario. If they stuck with the PaaS as their main focus, they would have gone out of business many years ago.
This is a bizarre argument. Are you seriously saying that by not forcing universities to pay a for-profit European publishing conglomerate, the US is disincentivizing research?

Countries don't fund research because of what shows up (or not) in scientific journals from other countries that they can somehow glean. They fund researchers to do research in their countries because the trickle-down effect of PhD students, graduate students, prestige, and ultimately spin-off companies and economic benefit that comes from doing so.
I think people really undervalue the base design of k8s that is responsible for the existence of CRDs and other related pluggability (even before TPR became CRDs).

Pretty much every other option was more closed and with no extensibility, plus docker swarm was plagued (at least from my PoV) with stories of instability... and I dunno about others, but I and various people I talked with were burned with running docker in production, something that k8s nicely repackaged removing a lot of the things that were problematic.

All this went into giving some serious base beyond marketing and PR - the closest I've seen from other players is classic Rancher and Nomad, and especially the latter seems much less capable.
> McIlroy's maxims are explicating the Unix philosophy

This is why I used the quote, not for this reason:

> but I don't read him as saying that systems which historically count as Unix aren't really Unix if they fall short in following his maxims.

I'd say yes, a port of v7 is fine, because it's not meaningfully more complex. It can still be comprehended by a single individual (unlike FreeBSD, Linux, everything currently called Certified Commercial UNIX trademark symbol, etcetera).
What software do you use? It sounds like for monitoring a website. Is there something similar for a desktop app?
I assume you mean k8s (kubernetes)?
Windows and osx both have their bugs, but trying to find any help in osx is impossible. It's Apple forums filled with users asking each other questions and maybe someone from Apple closing a thread.

Yeah for what it's worth I don't buy those shitty printers either.

My favorite printer of all time with a PostScript printer my tektronix, made later by Xerox. You could literally FTP a PostScript file to it. And it without put a page. Loved it.

Printers pissed me off so much I don't currently own one. And I have a need coming up so I'm shopping around for some open basic printer that I can get used, or even pay a little more for new, that doesn't hassle me in these ways, and that can be driven with relatively open data.

Otherwise, it's cheaper just by few pages down then, or print where there printers available and deal. Which is exactly what I've done.
There’s also other “clouds”, with smaller radii. Kuiper Belt is roughly where Pluto is. There is the Scattered Disc (probably) beyond that. Only then, a long way away, maybe, the Oort Cloud. So there is a lot of cloudy stuff closer in too.
I'm not sure what you're talking about. Nuclear gets cheaper when it's built at scale. The price history for nuclear demonstrates this: it was considerably cheaper when many plants were built in parallel. It's expensive now, because it's being built at very small scales.

1970s scales work fine. It was built at a cost of 1-2 billion dollars per GW, which is very competitive versus solar and wind + storage.
Don't give that sort of estimate. How could you know? Instead ask for time for discovery and then have a discussion with another dev about the proposal.

When you do go to your manager say something like "With a day's work I'll be setup and ready, and then I say we keep going until I fail to make it faster for two days in a row." Then you didn't fail, you just did what you could.
Sounds like Jason should trademark Wireguard (the name). Or build an alternative brand. That way Netgate's actions, or the actions of other wireguard implementations, will not reflect on the reputation of his project/product/technology.
I migrated to Bitwarden due to this silly business and couldn't be happier.

I had given a try last year but it didn't work for me for whatever reason but now I much prefer it over Lastpass, particularly in auto-filling web pages. The mobile app is great too.
The platform you are talking about is probably Toptal https://www.toptal.com#connect-unmatched-coders-now ?

I work through them and am very satisfied. Though I do not live in the US, rates I can get through Toptal are much higher than local rates. And if you are from US you can set even higher rates. Also there are US only jobs. So I guess if you dont live in the expensive part of the US it is doable.
It is true that the technologies existed for a while. I played with (Free)BSD jails and Solaris Zones long before Docker. Docker however made things "trivial" with the integration from container building, to public registry and docker-compose, which can make developer lives (depending on domain) much nicer. With jails and zones it was never as convenient.
I've heard that story before! I looked it up and turns out there is a whole effect named after it.

The post starts to share a vision for a new fair. Are they proposing that the new fair should actually contain all those elements? Or is it just an example? How were the visions in the previous (successful) fairs agreed upon? Did space go to the highest bidders? Furthermore, was the space divvied up so that NASA had a section (for example) and Ford had their own space? Or was it all intermingled?
What do you mean? Over the course of a decade and a half we brought the share of nuclear generation to 20%. That's way more impressive than what intermittent sources have achieved.
Well, not all of us are stuck. I do spend time educating people, and in my own life I don't buy into any of this garbage. It's totally not worth it.
Not only is it highly directed, ultrasonic acoustical frequencies disperse very quickly in air. At 1MHz, the energy absorption in air is ~160dB/meter, so a person sitting at arm's length away from the emitter (even if it weren't highly directed) would receive ~6*10^-17 of the power (if that weren't far below any possible noise floor, which it is).

Right - and how did Drake and Taylor Swift rise to that level? Same way Madonna and Michael Jackson did. Getting radio play and touring, which took a record label. Getting people to actually give a shit about your music is a problem Spotify isn't going to solve for unknown artists.
I wrote that it might not help. But VMs (or separate HDDs) are a thing too.
Tell that to listeners. Many artists don't list themselves there for that reason, but you're penalized for it because Spotify playlists are increasingly the only way many people access music at all. The do or don't isn't always so black and white.
This has nothing to do with research funding. Money paid for access to papers goes to publishers.

It's not like in music where the publishers get the lions' share and the artists get a fraction of that - in academic pubishing, it's 100% to publishers and not a single cent ever of the proceeds goes to authors or reviewers or to funding science programs.

And "closed access science" produced by USA is still available to researchers in every country despite the paywalls, all the serious universities have arranged subscriptions, it's just that currently they are paying a large fee to unnecessary middlemen (e.g. Netherlands' Elsevier) for that privilege.
EF 6 had an interesting take on this problem. If two migrations had the same parent (aka we both branched and added a migration), whoever merged second would have to generate a "merge" migration to resolve the conflict. It wasn't the most elegant solution, or even a solution period, but it made the problem explicit. This happened because the full schema model was serialized and encoded into the migration journal table.
I think you meant cW. Cw deletes 'till end of line then inserts a "w".

> f we continue to allow qualified users to be stifled by DRM for the sake of increasing profits through planned obsolecence we are going to see greatly increased levels of ecological damage and waste.

Waste is one concern but there is also a hidden cost. Every curious person that we prevent from opening up or fixing their machine contributes to a net loss of innovation in the long run.
Very unlikely. There are a lot of other benficial effects from research and applied research, beyond its publications. A well running academic body is also a job motor and entrepreneurship driver. Usually the methods and materials section of papers is so thin that they are hard to replicate anyway. As a nation you'd rather have the scientists than the papers of foreign scientists.
It's worse than you think: They are somewhat hamstrung in their hardware decisions by the current offerings from those Apple/Ultrabook chasing OEMs, but in this case they jumped the shark entirely and removed the 2.5" drive caddy.

The nearly identical Clevo NL51RU/NL50RU [1] has a 2.5" drive caddy but a 36 Wh battery. Take a look at the internal photo of the System76 unit at [2]. It's the same laptop. Heck, they didn't even bother removing the boss and brass insert for the 2.5" drive retaining screw by the left speaker.

System76 is not an OEM, they whitelabel and have tweaks made to Clevo/Sager laptops. I think they do a great service to the Linux community with PopOS and driver development/compatibility to make those into machines where Linux "just works" out of the box, don't get me wrong.

This obsession with thin-and-light goes completely counter to the whole point of "Our laptops’ guts are fully accessible!". They say they've got a tactile keyboard, to fit in 20mm thin right on top of the heat sink for the high-power Ryzen processor and discrete graphics I think I'm pretty safe in assuming it's a pathetic <1mm key-travel scissor unit.

1" thick or more is not too much. You could fit in all the ports, as well as an 80 Wh battery, and cooling to run at boost frequencies for more than 20ms. You don't have to match the dimensions of a Macbook Air and be able to slice tomatoes with the wrist rest.

I doubt that. People who are ultra rich use money as a proxy for power, influence and status. In a post scarcity world money likely won't be a great way to attain status so the hope is that status will be obtained through other means like creative expression or charisma.

I'm very sure that the GTA devs understand the difference between O(n^2), O(n), etc. They just didn't catch this particular way in which the compiler/standard library changed the complexity time dramatically. The reason for why they didn't catch it is up for debate, but it's surely not because they don't understand basic "Big O" concepts.

edit: actually, nevermind. I realize you're probably referring to the hashmap lookup part, rather than the strlen() part?

Yes and as a society we should increase the number of such "grandmother events", not to remove the very reason mine existed in the first place. A society without competitiveness will fail.

> That's why it's not really a "straw man",

Except that it is a straw man. This "childish" nation that seeks to thrive with no foreign trade ("in complete isolation") is a fiction inside your head that you're sharing as a target for your argument. It doesn't exist except as a straw man.
This was my immediate thought upon reading this. It is a very bizarre name choice given its potential connection to COVID-19 and that it was released during the ongoing global pandemic. Regardless of whether Pangolins are the true source of the pandemic (it is looking like that is becoming much less likely as time has gone on), the connection is still there in many people's mind and not what I would be naming my product after in 2021. Maybe in 2030 it would be safe, but this might just be a bit too soon.

Surely someone at System76 has to be aware of this, which begs the question, was this naming intentional? It would have to be I imagine. It seems a bit crass to go this route in the current climate.
We're improving rapidly, but I think we need to set our expectations higher. According to givewell.org, it only costs between $3000 and $5000 to save a life. There's a lot of people who could give that amount and don't, so there's a lot of lives that could be saved that aren't. And that's a pretty miserable failure to me.
Yes! If someone from system76 is listening to this thread, please, make a version without the numpad! That would be the case for me to buy one of these, but with a numpad it is a no.
Thanks. But, see, now it's you reading tea leaves. The original language read:

We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and ‘villages’ that collectively care for one another , especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable. (em mine)

It's explicit about extended families.

I think we should be able to quickly agree that there are two things going on here:

First, the part you're responding to: Black culture contends with a great deal of blame and social disapproval regarding single mothers and absence of fatherhood (something Thomas Sowell talks a lot about).

Second, like many cultures around the world, including several in Europe, Black culture relies on multigenerational extended family networks for child care. Those family networks were, as I'm certain from previous discussions you agree, explicitly targeted by housing segregationists to keep Black families out of suburban enclaves and to keep Black students out of the best-performing schools.

There's apparently this whole sort of internal cultural debate about Black advancement --- I'm a white dude and talking out of my ass here, but, like, I read some stuff --- between what you might call the Booker T. Washington school, which says Black advancement has to come from Black people improving their own circumstances and correcting the problems that are holding them back, and the W.E.B. DuBois school, which says that the first order of business is to secure formal, recognized equality with white people. It strikes me that you can read Sowell vs. BLM in that light.

They might both be right, with regards to families! Certainly, Oak Park needs to stop rigging systems to keep extended Black families from taking root here. And it's hard to deny that children are better off raised by more than one loving stable caregiver, though we might go back and forth about how important it is that the other stable caregiver be a father, vs. for instance a same-sex partner or a committed grandparent --- I had friends growing up raised by grandparents and those grandparents were probably a lot more conscientious than a lot of our parents.

At any rate, my main argument here is that this "nuclear family" stuff is a weird bone to pick with BLM. They're an easy target! They believe that we can beat back racism without reforming all of capitalism! Pick that fight, not the one that actually does implicate 75 years of racist housing policies that created the impoverished neighborhoods that have trapped and killed so many Black people.

Orthogonal's a useful word, and I hadn't noticed it as a trend; have been using it when appropriate for years. It draws an analogy to linear algebra, and the sciences that use it.

"Dark patterns" caught my attention - have seen it here many times over the past 2 months, but have yet to see it anywhere else, or even here before recently. It's a general term used to describe a specific thing.

I studied Google's file system. What Google figured out is that, with the rise of very fast networking such as 10 Gig Ethernet and faster, the network is much faster than local disk. Files were spread across multiple servers so they could all stream different parts of the file off their local disks simultaneously to the client computer faster than the local disk on any one computer could run. Thus, you could have systems like Gmail that could run much faster than even local disk based email clients, even with thousands of users.

Other providers were probably using expensive NASs with huge profit margins built in. Google was using thousands of the cheapest crappiest commodity parts because it was all triple redundant... and it worked faster because the network was really fast and multiple computers could stream different parts of the same file to clients.
Thank you!

SchemaHero looks super interesting. I'll check with the team to make sure they take a look. Introducing a Kubernetes operator is pretty ambitious.
I'm not super surprised by that. They're almost the only company competing at this low of a price range. I looked at laser cutters that could cut acrylic, and I don't think I found a single one cheaper than $2k or maybe $1.4k and that was for offbrand Chinese stuff.

These cutters live in a weird market segment of people that want to work with a complicated device, but who don't want working with it to be complicated. It's, in some ways, an inverse of 3D printing, which has a lot of people who revel in the complexity of the device. I love my 3D printers, and putting them together from scratch so I kind of know how it functions. I can't imagine my girlfriend buying something like a Cricut that she has to assemble herself.

> If you think you're going to use a Cricut to make things you can sell on Etsy or the like, you will be sorely disappointed.

Do people really do that? I always presumed that Cricut's were for one offs or prototypes, and that by the time you had an Etsy store, you would just order printed and cut stickers from China. I may well be wrong, I just figured there would be huge cost savings for doing so because of the factory's economy of scale.
If true, this calls into question the security of the rest of pfsense as well (not just the WG piece).

The following come to my mind:

- Google Earth: A globe with ultra-zoom just didn't exist before.

- Tex and LaTeX: They revolutionized Academic typesetting and publishing.

- DAWs: I used to use a four-track recorder. When I first got to edit in a DAW with a few built-in effects, that was such a quantum leap. (I was about to write "affordable DAWs" but to be honest these came quite late and my first DAW was a cracked copy of Protools, of course.)

- REALBasic when it was affordable shareware: I've never been more productive than in REALBasic. (Also learned my lesson, though, never rely on commercial tools whose price suddenly might skyrocket.)

- XLisp: I did not end up programming much in it but this was so good and mature software for hobby programmers interested in Lisp during the 90s (at a time when CommonLisp was hard to get outside your university).

- Wikipedia: Doesn't really count as software but I had to include it. It's possibly the most useful Internet-based tool besides email.
