Sure, I can see them being different things. But that doesn't meant that they both can't be involved at the same time.

Maybe what Eich is facing is seen as "punishment" by some, but it is indisputably discrimination, too. Losing one's job solely because of one's beliefs is a form of discrimination, regardless of what those beliefs may be.

I don't see how you can seriously say that you're against discrimination and those who discriminate, yet you'll resort to that exact same discriminatory behavior while supposedly trying to stop discrimination!

Thank you for pointing this out. A few additional notes on the way most modern car electronics work:

1) The entertainment system generally has read-only access to the CAN bus via an intermediary DCU. Even if you were able to "jailbreak" it, you wouldn't be able to modify the CAN.

2) The control unit(s) that actually have the ability to modify things like brakes, maximum speed settings, etc. are ECUs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_control_unit) and are entirely separate from the entertainment system.

3) Updates to vehicle-critical systems generally never even go through the entertainment system. They are sent over the air to the car's receiver (usually a kind of DCU), and are processed outside the purview of the entertainment system. The only thing the entertainment system can do is schedule the download and read the progress of the update.

It's interesting to see that Ethernet is used to connect the infotainment displays, but this isn't really a security concern as far as I can see. It just means we'll probably see some mods for the displays in the future, like turning off the YouTube lockout or enabling different data displays.

This is already possible with the current DNS system. The listing agencies are commonly called "DNS servers" and they may chose to disregard the authoritive DNS servers. End users can typically list which DNS servers they want to use by order of priority within their OS/browser DNS settings.
Those client lists are a bit unfair to compare: Atypon lists large publishers (Elsevier, IEEE, Oxford University Press, Taylor & Francis, ACS) while HighWire's list has a lot of individual journals (Journal of Early Childhood Research, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, etc.)
Eventually though, sufficient data will fall from the collisions between example-fed discussion and informed search to deliver an elevated consensus. One particular approach recommended McCarthy is in silico chromosome painting of the human genome with random pig and chimp sequences in an effort to find hotspots of similarity to pig.

And I really, really wish Ubuntu had held out with upstart instead. We need the alternative.

You don't cavilierly fuck with PID 1, and that's precisely what the systemd folk appear to be doing.

I'm really hoping Linus's rant makes an impact on them.
Although I've heard a lot of others disagree, I like the fact that Linus' posts are straight and to the point. No sugar-coating or euphemisms, just telling the hard reality like it is.
I think he's saying relatively modern chimps and pigs may have had a hybridization event.

Another argument was that the morphological distance, or genetic differences besides chromosome number, are just too great. Most of us are familiar with the platypus. A paper published in Nature a few years ago demonstrated that the platypus genome contains both bird and mammal chromosomes, and therefore that the vastly different bird and mammal sex chromosome systems have been successfully bridged by this creature. This example is not offered as any kind of proof. But it does suggest that sometime, long ago, a cross occurred that would have been even more distant than that between a chimpanzee and a pig – one between a otter-like mammal and a duck-like bird. And if such was the case, the hybrids from the cross must have been able to produce offspring (otherwise they would have died out, and the platypus would not exist today).

Early in the thread Linus explains it:

It does become a problem when you have a system service developer who
thinks the universe revolves around him, and nobody else matters, and
people sending him bug-reports are annoyances that should be ignored
rather than acknowledged and fixed. At that point, it's a problem.

It looks like Greg has stepped in as a baby-sitter for Kay, and things
are going to be fixed. And I'd really like to avoid adding hacky code
to the kernel because of Kay's continued bad behavior, so I hope this
works. But it's really sad that things like this get elevated to this
kind of situation, and I personally find it annoying that it's always
the same f*cking primadonna involved.

Steven, Borislav, one thing that strikes me might be a good idea is to
limit the amount of non-kernel noise in dmesg. We already have the
concept of rate-limiting various spammy internal kernel messages for
when device drivers misbehave etc. Maybe we can just add rate-limiting
to the interfaces that add messages to the kernel buffers, and work
around this problem that way instead while waiting for Gregs fix to
percolate? Or are the systemd debug messages going to so many other
places too that that wouldn't really help?

Linus

They then went into a rate limiting discussion. Later in the thread it seems to have come up again, leading to the post 0x006A summarized.
> Userspace tools should not be using the same kernel parameters that are defined by the kernel. That's just broken and wrong.

My understanding is that this is not the issue and, in fact, the command line parameters are provided to userspace in the way that they are exactly so that applications can do this kind of thing.

Rather, the real issue is that the flag IS commonly used this way, and systemd's response to it being set was so aggressive that it prevented it from being used for anything else. A not-uncommonly-used system configuration, having "debug" set, was being broken unnecessarily and in an unintuitive way.

The Turing Award is a fairly significant award, as awards go. It's kind of like the Fields Medal or the Nobel. So it means enough to make Lamport getting it a big deal.

I wouldn't say, "Angular is hard". I'd say that some pieces of is are "non-standard". And because of that, some of that "non-standardness" has been allowed to fester to the point of flat out mental hiccups.

I maintain that Angular kisses on the first date. Your first experience is going to make you feel those wonderful butterflies that you felt the very first time you ever wrote some HTML and hit refresh on a page.

Where it quickly falls apart is in many tried and true practices in web dev. It's just not straight up html/css/js. It's a NEW thing. The good thing is, the Angular devs have an eye on what's coming up, and I believe (and/or hope) that we're going to see a huge "merge bubble" close and those of us that use Angular will be up to speed.

I'd be happy with that outcome if that's what happened.

Instead I've spent the last week explaining to people (including my mom) why the opinions of an exchange bought and sold by folks with a vested interest in not allowing price discovery are painting me as evil.

Add to that the very real fact that for whatever reason, incompetence, bias, or laziness, Lewis has literally misrepresented the way the markets work, and the way participants thought it worked for many years and you can under stand why some of us are upset.
Is this not a meaningful dialogue? I'm afraid the answer is "No." What can be gained by engaging in conversation a person who believes that I am, at my very core, evil and destructive?

I think truly random seating could be a nightmare.

This is not a hard rule but I believe that each field should be fairly well grouped together. Just enough to keep them quiet as a group, but not close enough to make each group feel segregated. So for example, designers often like to bounce ideas off each other while they work throughout the day. QA/Support often times need to verbally regurgitate things to new employees and/or over tech support calls, managers like to verbally remind people of things.

Remove your engineers from the trajectory line of small-talk, get them away from the door, away from the coffee refueling station, etc...

Not that anybody in the office should have to deal with distractions but it's particularly dangerous when you subject your engineers to those circumstances. One thing I also liked is that in our office we seemed to have a small barricade blocking our senior engineers from the small-talk questions that the designers would often have. For example when our designers and UI/UX people would have questions about how expensive of a task it would be to resize assets/how to handle img aspect ratios, our senior devs were at the very back of the office as a last resort. This gave our junior devs/front-end guys a chance to answer any small questions before senior engineers were distracted. (which also made them feel extremely proud and gave them some respect in the office)

Just my opinion. It really depends on how many employees and what kind of atmosphere you already have/want to create. Sometimes in building a community, it's more about finding that one individual with the right personality and letting them shine. The right person can bring together your whole office if you give them the opportunity.

good luck!

edit

I also think it's extremely important to have your engineers facing AWAY from the middle of the office. Personally I think one of the most distracting things while I'm coding is seeing things move around in my peripheral vision.
Ah ok. I understand why a columnar database would be better for analytical workloads, but I didn't realize that HBase and Cassandra aren't actually laid out in a columnar fashion on disk. I was confused by the 'column store' terminology. This makes Citus data's release even more compelling.

Thanks for clearing that up!

Yes. Linus explains that the kernel will ignore flags it doesn't know for that reason; however, systemd should not be doing anything with the debug flag as that is meant for the kernel. The systemd flag should be namespaced.

Yeah I'm considering switching to FreeBSD or even OpenBSD (if it would be possible to play some of my games on it). I don't want to switch really, but if systemd is going to be the default init system from here on and it continues to be plagued by bullshit like this then I don't really want to be bothered by it. (FYI I currently use Arch Linux, one of the early adopters of systemd).

They're fucking around well beyond PID 1. Default binary log formats. This odd binary messaging bus with god awful reverse domain names, a shifting binary protocol format that injects itself into the kernels standard text-based messaging formats.

I find the whole dependency system completely bizarre, because to truly implement it, you have to hook into _everything_ and make it part of this odd binary mess they've created above.

I really don't understand the route they are taking, I see the system becoming less capable and more fragile with this type of engineering being encouraged.
I've looked through your comments on this post and did not find anything that looked like an explanation or refutation of Lewis' claims that HFT were front running.

While I agree with the sentiment of this article and usually I agree with Glenn Greenwald, I find the times he publishes articles at strange. The Intercept hasn't published anything since Monday, and then he decides to post this at 6:15pm on a Friday night?

yeah, being left in the dark is annoying. specially if i have to even register before i know the deal.
I think as always the kernel should be made robust enough (in this case through rate limiting) to handle such abuse.

In a way this Sievers guy is right but he could have been more polite in asking the kernel devs for this feature. And he needs to co-operate by cutting down the log traffic until the kernel is fixed.
I've seen this argument advanced several times now, but it doesn't make sense to me. Looking at the investors of IEX -- David Einhorn, Dan Loeb, Bill Ackman, Capital Group -- these are some very, very smart people. They're not idiots that were sold a bill of goods by a lying, bumbling team of Lewis and Katsuyama. And while they may have a vested interest via their investments in IEX, it's dwarfed by their interest in reducing slippage on their own trades. IOW, it doesn't seem like they are talking their book. It seems like they are really seeking a fairer market. (Obviously, what's "more fair" to one party may be "less fair" to another)
yeah but the state police can examine a crash after the fact to determine a brake line was cut.

even if the software survives a high-speed crash, it's possible for the surreptitiously placed modification to erase itself as its final act. additionally, the surreptitiously placed modification can wait for weeks or months, giving the attacker time to build a cover story or misdirect or accomplish any number of other goals.

If you want something closer to what you'd expect of CS from a college check out MIT OpenCourseware, it should have everything you need for undergrad CS
I've read a number of papers recently discussing various software design techniques for improving the ease with which bug-free code can be reduced. Most of these papers are infeasible in practice because they rely on new language features that aren't found in any mainstream language. For example, the paper "Out of the Tar Pit" suggests "Functional Relational Programming" as a method of reducing complexity in software. Unfortunately, I can't evaluate the efficacy of FRP in practice because there is no language allowing for it, and even if there were, it wouldn't be a language anyone would use since there would be no support for it.

In contrast to those approaches, Lamport's ideas seem quite reasonable and have the benefit of being language agnostic. He definitely has a lot of interesting ideas here!

In it, Linus says the following:

> No, we very much expose /proc/cmdline for a reason. System services are supposed to parse it [...] And yes, that does include "quiet" and "debug". Parsing them and doing something sane with them is not a bug, it's a feature.
I don't see why it's that implausible. You are descended from almost every single human being alive 1,000 years ago. Can you find any significant amount of DNA contributed from only a single one of your ancestors?

What he is suggesting is that a single hybrid made it's way back into the hominid population. It had children with other hominids, and those children would have had half as much pig DNA. They had children with even less, and so on. After awhile there would be almost nothing left of the pig ancestor. The only genes that would survive such dilution would be ones that were significantly selected for.
First thing that popped into my mind after diving into the details of the study: correlation does not equal causation. Excuse me while I wheel my fridge to the curb because everyone I've ever known who's had cancer or a heart-attack also has a fridge.

> That didn't happen in the music industry. It was disrupted by piracy, but music today is no worse than it was 10 or 15 years ago.

I'm pretty sure I disagree with that. And this isn't just a "music in my day was better than the garbage kids these days listen to..."

Look at the complaints about SXSW this year. Why is Lady Gaga ... someone who is nominally HUGE in pop music .. even bothering with something so small? Why did Metallica play such tiny-ass venue and associate with Comicon (hint: think they've sold out something like Qualcomm Stadium recently?)? Look at the ticket figures for Beyonce vs Madonna even after her prime? Why are Taylor Swift and Selena so important (answer: teenage girls and their mothers spend money on music while nobody else does)? Why are opera and symphony houses closing their doors? Take a look at the Experience Hexndrix Tour: http://www.experiencehendrixtour.com/artists.php

Where's the next Johnny Lang or Kenny Wayne Shepherd?

I would argue that the diversity of the music industry died fairly horribly.

Now, I don't think the disruption was purely piracy. The big problem is that males (and now an increasing number of females) buy video games instead of music.

How much can you get for music today? Even if you managed to extract $100 per year out of every American, that's only a $30 billion industry. That's what ... 2 or 3 blockbuster video games of revenue? Now cut that by an order of magnitude and remove the amounts that famous bands like the Rolling Stones take (quite a bit), and you've got an industry of absolutely peanuts.
I believe that's sarcasm.
