Given that this is a C++ thread I'll be pedantic and say that this is really the ABI rather than the compiler as per se.
The link does say

I suspect the idea is that neither smtp nor snmp are simple when you dig down, despite the name.

And I'd agree with the article, mibs can be maddening

And for snmpv3:

"if you are using SNMPv3 where the authentication and configuration can be amazingly, maddeningly complex for some vendors."

Perhaps adding IPFS to the mix for persisting data would be interesting, I'm sure there are use cases in peer to peer applications. Anyway, amazing innovation thank you for writing this :)

I also agree with the utility of the bozo bit. I worked somewhere where a long time engineer got Peter/Dilbert Principled at just the level of Team Lead. Once you've done four years or so in the org, they don't fire you just motivate you to quit. Anyway, this person gets moved into a Lead role with a team of one person where he can do the least harm. He's awful to work with, can't communicate properly and derails every meeting he's in with complete tangents.

Bozo bit!
App availability is good for my needs. For Android apps I only use Whatsapp and Firefox (as backup browser). I am not someone wanting to use apps for everything, I never used a banking app for example, and have no desire to use one. I am quite happy with Whisperfish as a third-party Signal client that is now in beta, though it needs a few more things to be more useful to me. I use an OSM app for maps, mpd client for remote music, and some default Jolla apps are quite okay.

System stability overall is really good, I hardly ever get into a situation that a reboot is required. Some years ago on my Jolla 1 this did happen more, often when the network would not come back. There are some issues, like power drain on 4G and other small bits. The development team is small, it's not a billion dollar company, I think it's all relative.

I have never used Ubuntu Touch and I cannot really comment on it. If you would be interested in trying that again, I think Axolotl is a Signal client for UT that is also in development. For Android apps, there is Anbox, but that is a very slow moving target with some rather big issues currently, from what I hear.

Sorry, my bad here. Of course, only the binaries and static assets are stored in C:\Program Files. Your point is the perfect argument though for why Wine emulates a Windows file system hierarchy.

I don't like the registry either. My `not too bad` refers to the effort required to support it. Wine should make it possible though give each application its own copy of the registry. This copy could be nuked along with the application when it is uninstalled.

Linus doesn't like a lot of things. ZFS for example. It certainly sucks to maintain out-of-kernel patches, but if there is enough benefit, someone will do it. And it would be actually pretty sweet and ironic if Windows applications run faster on the Linux desktop than on Windows. Also, I am optimistic that futex2 will find many applications outside of Wine.
Sure, but there are many different configurations that are sustainable and yet maximize different goals subject to the goal of sustainability.
Is running an organization the only way to have expertise on subjects like “how decisions made by organizations affect their members?” I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that a person can collect a fair bit of policy-specific knowledge from being directly affected by said policy.

This is not a defense of punditry — I feel pretty icky anytime I see a climate denialist like Bret Stephens opining on climate change in The Paper of Record, for example — but I also don’t think we should necessarily conclude that a person’s relationship to power connotes an inherent level of expertise.
How so? You are telling people what they want to hear, you make them relaxed and chill.

> Basel, November 20, 2012 – Novartis announced today that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the use of Flucelvax® (Influenza Virus Vaccine), the first cell-culture-derived vaccine, for individuals 18 years of age and older3.

> A multinational, randomized, observer-blinded, placebo-controlled trial was performed to assess clinical efficacy and safety of Flucelvax during the 2007- 2008 influenza season in adults aged 18 to 49 years in the US, Finland and Poland3.

They took ~4 years to approve it, sounds like they were more cautious for Flucelvax.
This presumes a conspiracy amongst officers forced into early retirement to create a convincing false narrative.

What reason would the USIC have for lying about this? It seems unlikely that we would ever retaliate in kind, especially not after bringing attention to these incidents.
Having evaluated dozens of CRMs to replace my company's internally built system, here's my five cents:

- Salesforce is slow, expensive after adding add-ons, costly to customize, and visually unappealing. The older and less tech-friendly workers I've surveyed found it painful to use. The same might be said of many Salesforce competitors, including MSFT Dynamics and Netsuite. SugarCRM also has many of the same failings, but its UI/UX is better IMHO.

- Close.io, Pipedrive, Salesloft, Nethunt, Nutshell, Nimble and few others have a simpler and more engaging take on CRM that seems to be easier for a wider variety of users to adopt.

- A big chunk of CRM's perceived value is better found through sales training that focuses on qualifying customers and good work habits.

- CRM cannot turn most under or non-performing salespeople into performers.

- Many performing workers will resist adding contacts and data to a CRM for several reasons, self-preservation instinct being most prominent.

- Nurture marketing, once a CRM innovation, has become an annoyance for client/customer prospects... particularly over email.

- Predictive CRM requires either a lot of data to train, or hard to obtain signals. The concept underachieves.

The next great thing may very well be inversion of CRM, whereby your customers/clients automate the acquisition, evaluation, negotiation and purchase of products or services. At the enterprise level this exists for commodity products & services, but it's largely non-existent at the SMB/SOHO level. The normalization and quantification problem is significant, but I'm confident ML will address some of these challenges in due time.

Tl;dr ... there's still no substitute for hiring the right people. Charisma, emotional intelligence & motivation always surpasses sales automation.
I have beginner-level lockpicking skills. I can rake open the door locks from companies like Schlage and Kwikset used on most houses in the US in a few seconds. That they're easily defeated by someone with basic knowledge of tools for manipulating them does not mean they aren't locks.

This DRM will prevent the average consumer from refilling the cartridges even if it's easily defeated by those with a working knowledge of embedded electronics.
I don't understand it either, but maybe that's why it asks whether you are in an oppressive regime: if you are, it goes directly to a local relay, otherwise goes to any available anywhere?

I think the biggest dark pattern is social platforms holding the browser hostage instead of opening content in the users native browser app. Social media sites are built on user generated content. By keeping users in the app like this it puts the website at an inherent disadvantage and prevents them from providing a compelling first class experience that might compete with facebook for attention, due to their inherent parent child ui design.

Anti trust regulators came after Microsoft for deep bundling of functionality of browser and OS and I think they should do the same for facebook, google, reddit, etc. for the web view.
I have a local encryption mechanism that hides these keys from view in the binaries (say using grep or strings). And I'm not comfortable with the alternative of the certs being on the server in plain view as files; I feel having them inside the binary in an encrypted form is safer. I keep the keys and certs away from GitHub of course, so only I have them as files locally. Am I missing something?

My dad is a doctor and has had pagers the entire time, from the bulky brick one you can see Dr. Beeper using in Caddyshack to the ones you’d see in this article.

Outside of work, I’ve actually had to page him a few times: my family has season tickets for Northwestern Wildcats football games, and he has the tickets. If I arrive to the game late, I’d need to call or page him to come down and give me the tickets. It’s not a problem when the opponent is a small school that doesn’t travel well, but when a school like Nebraska or Ohio State show up in Evanston, cell service goes to shit (imagine having 47000 people in a suburban neighborhood).

I page him and it works like a charm.

> Huge landfills are ruining the Earth because they are taking up a lot of space...The biggest landfill in the United States...is 2,200 acres wide

Ignoring the minor detail that acres are a measurement of area and not width, the contiguous US is 2 _billion_ acres. 2,200 acres is 0.00011% of that. We can easily spare the space.

> The organic materials in these landfills can decay and release greenhouse gasses...when these items go to landfills, they will take much longer to decompose than normal

This appears to contradict your kid's message, because it conveys that landfills reduce the rate of greenhouse gas emissions.

I'd expect sticking the tag to some ferromagnetic surface, such as a fridge door, by the magnet to have about the same effect as gluing the tag to that same surface would which I would guess would be none.

Generally in a permanent magnetic speaker the permanent magnet is solidly affixed to the speaker housing.

The part that actually moves to make sound (the diaphragm) has a coil attached to it. The signal is sent through that coil, which produces a variable magnetic field that interacts with the fixed magnetic field of the permanent magnet.

This interaction produces a force that moves the coil, and thus also moves the diaphragm producing sound.

You could probably design a speaker where the coil is fixed and the magnet is attached to the diaphragm, but that is generally not done. You want the moving parts to be as light as possible so that it doesn't take a lot of energy to rapidly change their motion.

Consider a speaker playing an N Hz sine wave--it has to change direction 2N times per second, and between each direction change you want it to move far enough to move enough air to for the sound to be easily audible.

If the moving part is too heavy you would need a lot more force to accelerate it enough to move far enough to move enough air in the short time you have in order to reach a specified loudness, and then it would take a lot of energy to quickly change direction and do the opposite movement. Hence, the heavy magnet is fixed and the light coil moves the diaphragm).

Microphones are similar. There are moving coil microphones, but I don't recall seeing moving magnet microphones.

You might think it would also be the same with phonograph cartridges, but there you do find both moving magment and moving coil designs [1].

> > Imagine being able to unzip a build of your software to a blank windows/linux server and expect that it work flawlessly 100% of the time, regardless of any prior/lack of configuration or other supporting dependencies on that machine

> I mean, that's basically _why_ Docker exists.

It is, but Docker isn't it. At the least, Docker won't run side-by-side with Virtual Box on Windows, so "regardless of prior configuration" is not met. In general, Docker adds an extra dependency on top of a blank system: Now you need to get Docker set up and running first, and then you can deploy your app. The alternative in question is about controlling the build to such an extent that you can reliably deploy the artefacts onto any system without having some runtime environment prepared.
While the choice of VM vs container is not one of good or bad in the general sense there are several reasons to choose containers.

1) Containers reduce the number of shared dependencies between the VM and the application. A container based on alpine will even be using musl libc vs glibc. And a VM running on a private cloud or different cloud providers will require different dependencies. As dependency hell is NP-complete, increasing the number of dependencies dramatically increases the effort of testing, trouble shooting, and maintaining a system. The simplified contract between a container and it's host vs a binary on a VM reduces that cost.

2) Instantiation time is much longer for a VM than a container.

3) Container management systems like k8 etc... tend to have more robust health checking, service registration, and recovery tools. If one is using containers already the cost of maintaining a parallel infrastructure for VMs is often high.

4) Developers can often run a container on their desktops/laptops and iterate faster as they avoid the challenges and costs in maintaining dependencies called out in #1 or the expense and time of spinning up development instances.

There are companies and groups that use containers and container management systems because they are the hot new thing, but even before the public cloud or even high density VMs were a reality I was on a team that leverage Linux VServers for all core services. It is still the only company I have ever been at where we could actually switch over to a cold DR site with everything from DNS to Oracle EBS being up in less than half an hour. All with only using rsync and tar for a publicly traded company.

You can get around package version selection being NP-complete by putting on other constraints like enforcing semantic versioning and auto updates. But IMHO using namespaces(containers) is one solution one should consider.

Here is a link to a paper that will describe the package dependency problem generalizes to the NP-complete SAT problem.

For me, containers are a way to limit that problem to being one of the container host only needing satisfy a contract for a far more limited set of needs (kernel ABI, network, storage).

https://hal.inria.fr/hal-00697463

Your needs and challenges may be different, but containers tend to be a good option for many of the needs I have run across.
Says the guy who has never been harassed by Bots/Bro's/twitter mob on social media. It can be pretty traumatic for anyone to be on the receiving end of such harassment.

Similar numbers are there from marginalized communities, and if you are a woman from a marginalized community then God help you if you dare to have an opinion.

Historians don't use the term because it's a bit imprecise and outdated. If you were talking about the "Anglo-Saxon language", you would probably say "Old English" instead. If you were talking about the people, you would probably want to make it clear whether you were talking about the Germanic tribes who migrated to England starting in the 5th century, or whether you were talking about the English people in the 5th-11th century, which also included the indigenous British population.

Just as an illustration of why the term "Anglo-Saxon" muddles things, we have the person in the article who seems to think that Murphy is an Anglo-Saxon surname, when it is clearly Celtic in origin. I'm not doubting that the author is Anglo-Saxon... just pointing out that his suname, itself, is not.

I'm not a historian, so I'm just relating the parts of the issue that I understand. There are articles online by historians that go into greater depth explaining why historians tend to avoid the term "Anglo-Saxon" these days, and why the term became so popular in the 18th and 19th century.

Not sure what "uncomfortable truth" you are referring to. If you have something to say, spit it out. I also don't understand why someone would "fear being canceled" just because they used a somewhat obsolete term.
