Heh. Talk about synchronicity. I'm taking the Warhol class on Coursera that just started this week. On Wednesday I posted a pic to my Facebook feed of Warhol and Debbie Harry with an Amiga, commenting mostly on the Amiga [0].

Cool to see this today. :-)

Politicians have really hard time these days to put tax payer money where they should go, education, health care, law enforcement.
Slovakia is nice nature-wise, but I would probably chose Czech Republic over it. Slovakia is pretty religious, meaning they don't like homosexuals and drugs (harsh possible sentences for users). Corruption is pretty high as well, though I doubt it's much worse from any of the mentioned countries.
From what I heard, Telegram was intended as a testbed and the team didn't quite expect the exposure it received.

This is going to be a separate product from Telegram. Durov knows what focus is, he kept VK very focused while he was around.

I think the point is you can't replace each of those binaries with alternatives. The monolithic nature of systemd is not just a function of the raw number of binaries involved.

In your other comment you call this a ’hack and a PR thing’ and it is exactly that: a neat hack to draw attention to the fact that the government is now publishing this data-set as free data.

I think it’s great the government publishes this free data (given as it is was probably collected using tax money), and I also think it’s great they do a project to attract attention to this: the more people know about this data, the more people can use it, and the better the tax money has been spent.

Plus, I imagine the Danish blog post provides good starting points for anyone wishing to use this data in similar ways.

There is nothing wrong with the intention, the problem is result. I hope I'm wrong, but on my experience of these kind of things is that the popularity is short lived. Soon, some new idea comes along and removes the just implemented old new way.

Given that both systemd and upstart exist, it would seem that it is time for a next generation init. And given that Ubuntu has now accepted systemd, it has critical mass and should be the new standard.

"Doing one thing and doing it well" is a fine guide for system tools, but does not apply to everything - look at the kernel, or Gnome for instance.

People like talking about the reality of implementing design patterns but leave out huge variables, like what is being built.

I think his article highlights something else about FAD design patterns, hype and pressures. The amount of GUI developers I met running around yelling TDD was amusing, and refreshing meeting people who do what is right instead of implementing hype-patterns... new word? :¬)

Indeed, I can imagine if every small bit of work had to have a full analysis of ROI etc. then the whole bureaucracy intended to prevent the wasting of money would end us costing far more than could ever be saved.

I am actually Czech and my business is based in Prague :-)

Slovakia made lot of progress in past 10 years. In business friendlies it is ahead, it also has more stable and simpler laws. In Czech rep every new government totally changes taxes, accounting, working law...

Religion wise I do not know. Czech republic is probably the most agnostic country in Europe (if now in the world), and I have not noticed much difference in tolerance compared to Slovakia. Being from Russia will be probably bigger issue.
Culture-wise and considering the costs, I'd absolutely agree with Berlin, but keep in mind that the german government sure loves its bureaucracy and regulations.
Agreed. I should have made it clear that I was responding more about the "who is behind this?" question and their possible motives, rather than passing judgement on whether it is secure or not.
I'm getting code 500 error, but I'm guessing a Republican has been discovered to be somehow related to systemd.
I've got to agree with a lot of your points here, to paraphrase churchill, systemd is the worst system management daemon system that we have, except for all those other ones that have been tried from time to time. (this sounds a little harsh to the other ones, but I find systemd intuitive from a user-facing perspective even if it does have a lot of inelegance under the hood)

Sweden matches.
Does anyone know if this quote is true?:

"Since systemd is very tightly welded with the Linux kernel API, this also makes different systemd versions incompatible with different kernel versions."

I was pretty meh about the whole systemd thing, but having to change userspace when swopping out kernels is a spectacular disadvantage. Imagine having to downgrade your distro whenever you need to test against older kernels --- madness.

This is especially bad with ARM/embedded stuff where one often runs a modern userspace with an older kernel.
It is not about the cold, but about the 23 hour darkness for several months. The winters are actually a lot warmer than much of Russia.

They'd get much further if they actually came up with a better alternative.

Even if all of there points were objectively true, it doesn't matter when sticking with the old init is so much worse in many ways.

People aren't picking systemd because it's perfect, but because both the mess of init scripts it is replacing, and alternatives like upstart,is seen as worse/too lacking.

EDIT: Btw. this just got me to install systemd on one of our dev/test Debian boxes at work, to start testing it.

Everyone has different preferences. Personally I have no interest in climbing up Everest, but if I could, reasonably cheaply, get there with absolutely no effort for a not-huge price (say $3k for a helicopter to the top and I could get out for an hour) then I might well be up for doing it.

That price/method example isn't an "I hope this is possible", just what it would take for me to personally want to go, I'd be paying for the view and the experience of being up there, rather than the experience of getting up there (since I'm never going to be able to do it that way, I won't be doing it at all). But that's just me, others like you it's largely about the experience, while some people will be in between, wanting some of the experience, but have it be not too difficult.
Systemd got a huge boost due the involved from Red Hat. But then most of the distros are adopting it, even Debian and Ubuntu. I don't see a reason but still if you want to stay out of systemd better use Gentoo or other "non" major distro.
Great idea, this should make a couple million for the creators.

Face recognition is one of those technologies that's seems neat at a glance and mindbogglingly terrifying on closer inspection. It has the potential to sci-fi the world overnight and it could do it tomorrow night. The algorithm accuracy and enormous comparison DBs are already here.

The effect this can have on commerce, advertising, policing, crime, culture, or a bunch of other things has enough wide reaching effects for a sci fi thriller.

A camera in cahoots with a till in a supermarket could put a face and a name on every purchase. If the camera and the till in cahoots with an advertising billboard in a shopping mall, you have created an offline version of conversion tracking.

Since the supermarket and billboard company are in cahoots, they can compare notes and find a billboard location that gets the supermarket's best customers. If you are seen checking out climbing gear by a camera in cahoots with Facebook, that store can keep outdoor activity products to you in Facebook. Hello offline retargeting.

That's just advertising. Imagine policing. Imagine high school.

Well, I'm a cheapskate I play Minetest, not Minecraft. I'm fairly certain that Minetest has a larger height limit, but it can freeze like a bastard. The other day I went for a dig, and I used the compass to work out my position. I was over 500 blocks under the surface, I kept running into lava flows(!).

Slovenia (where I'm from): great country, a lot of nature (mountains, sea), near important EU cities (Munich, Vienna, Milano, Venice, Rome), good awesome weather, people know English, not too expensive.

But! Bureaucracy is horrible, especially for non-EU foreigners trying to work here. My past company spent a lot of time bringing a (highly qualified, well-paid) Russian to work for a Slovenian! company. I think they resolved the case by using personal connections to government employees (the normal way of resolving issues in Slovenia). Also, taxes are rather high (top marginal tax is only 42%, but it kicks in way sooner than e.g. in UK).
Unfortunately the time limits are useless if they are allowed to grow them indefinitely. In the US, the copyright length has extended from 14 years (with another renewal for 14 years) to life + 70 years. There's nothing fair in Life + 70 years.

On patents - they were meant to replace the need for trade secrets, unfortunately most patents that pass these days is for things that can be replicated without looking at the patent's application. And while I understand somewhat the need for patents in the health-care industry (only to a certain extent, since on the other hand access to quality health-care should be a basic right), the situation we are in is completely ridiculous.

In the end, the inventor already benefits by being first to market and a patent is only morally justified if the research costs were too big, allowing the inventor to recover those costs in the face of potential competition that may replicate the results and for which those costs weren't an issue. On the other hand, if patents would disappear tomorrow, I'm pretty sure that people would still go on, building and inventing things. So the benefit to society at large is questionable.

Singapore. In response to the preferences they expressed on Facebook, it's got little bureaucracy, a small government, no wars, minimal regulation, a strong judicial system, a relatively free market (ranked no. 2 in the world for economic freedom).

Not such a free place if you want to displace the government or use recreational drugs, however, but business-wise it's pretty open.

I would suggest you Czech Republic. Russians are accepted here as minority and a lot of them is living here.

Also our language is Slavic so very similar to Russian. We have democracy and I am not aware of any censorship. We are atheists and we are not homophobic. Also we have very good infrastructure and it is cheap to live here. And Prague is a beautiful city.

Of course market share mattered in the 90's. It was a huge problem for the Mac and Linux (and all those operating systems that died). They found niches but Photoshop and most other software , for example, was never ported to Linux because it never had enough market share to port to it. Photoshop was originally a Mac only app but the dominance of Windows meant that it needed to be ported.

While systemd has some good parts...

0: udev did that. They merged udev in. Now systemd does it. I'd rather see them play nice by communicating with other projects than controlling everything on their own.

1: Apart from internal watchdog, the features he listed are also available in upstart. (others are not, but his list is actually common)

3: This is a strange claim when talking about an init system that effectively starts managing devices.

6: Not sure why it's on the good things list - it already happened before for rc/init/upstart. It's inevitable rather than new awesome - we'll all have to rewrite the configs once again.

8: Why is that part of systemd? Ubuntu was happily running with it being a separate daemon. If it doesn't depend on systemd why is it included (same for udev really). Convenience for developers is not a great answer here.

There seems to be a lot of exaggerated claims going both ways - at least that shows not everyone is happy about the change. Hopefully the next project that replaces init will be what many claim systemd is right now...
It cant be worse than France.

It's just that Berlin is cheaper, more international and more civil than Paris for instance.

This is Europe anyway,there will be regulation for everything,cost of Employee will be higher,not because you have to pay them more but because taxes,and there is no guarantee of "free speech" whatsoever.

They should have fled to the US if they really wanted a "free market" environment.
In my experience great PHP developers tend to find a way out from developing anything in PHP.
Kudos again to the pocoo team for creating such a simple and useful library. It sure beats optparse :)

On a side note, however, does anyone know why the team prefers to wrap functions in decorators? Flask also uses them, but what's the design decision behind them?
Okay, well, while I agree with most of the points they make, there just isn't a viable alternative. I maintain noop Linux (nooplinux.org), it started using OpenRC, but when udev was merged into systemd, things got very complicated, eventually the switch was made. Systemd is very fast, the 'init.d' scripts are way better, udev work very well...I don't mind thinking about moving back away from systemd (because I really do have a love-hate relationship with it), but what am I supposed to go back to? OpenRC/SysV-whatever? Heck no. Upstart? Nope. ...is there even an alternative that makes sense? Because moving back to SysV would be a step back.
0) That's not the init systems job.
1) That's not the init systems job. Use something like http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html
2) Less modular than any init system out there. Having *everything* (including a dhcp deamon soon) in PID 1 is not modular just because you can configure it.
3) See 1.
4) Never bothered me, but fair enough.
5) That's not the init systems job.
6) Not if the path's differ. E.g. are debianized.
7) So was sysvinit.
8) That's not the init systems job.
9) It actually is.

Edit: And if you downvote me, at least add an explanation please. Thanks. I'd like to know if I'm factually wrong or you just disagree.
