While BSD gives a complete system and source tree, the source tree is also designed such that you can use all or none of it and get a working system. Going into the subdirectories and just building the parts of the userland you want from the given source tree is entirely possible. Furthermore, after building everything, rc is designed as a script, with executables, arguments, etc, all being well documented and easy to override in rc.conf to your liking. For example, I don't like the built-in syslog, and prefer syslog-ng. Disabling the built-in syslog was a matter of adding these two lines:

syslogd_enable="NO"
syslog_ng_enable="YES"

and after that the included syslog doesn't run at all. There's no looping logs through the original syslog and out the other end, or any silliness like that. Similarly, the dhcp client, ntp client, etc, are all easily configurable as well. The problem isn't that systemd provides these bits and pieces, the problem is that it's a pain and a half when you need to turn them off.
More than anything I'd love to use this to actually improve the way the lights are run downtown in my city. It's insane that they actually use them to make people spend longer in the downtown corp. (when one turns green, the next turns red, there is literally no flow to traffic and would be faster going through a number of stop signs.)
Why do fashion pronouncements ("You should set your goal on owning four pairs of good quality business shoes") sound just as dated if they're from 1991 or 1891?
Yeah, that's what I figured. You probably don't want to throttle it too bad in case the same person got multiple computers (diff Ip's), but I think that something between a 100 and a 1000 could hit the right spot. And then depending on the feedback you get, you can work on implementing some better filtering. But at least it should dissuade people from making your tool the next megaupload :)
I'd also work on throttling uploads of the same file, cause if you have a 100 DL limit per file then one can simply upload its file a thousand times and it will A) take a lot of space on your servers B) still be a pirate/sharing issue.
Good luck and keep up the good work! :)
Mill architecture support it, by having multiple add instructions. add is wraparound add. addx returns a NaR^[1]. addw returns a double width value. As Mill stores integer size of registers these instructions apply to all integer sizes and vectors, without having separate instructions for each width (and vectors).

[1] NaR will propagate an error, but trigger an exception if it's stored or branched on.
UPS Confirms Security Breach

So I still don't buy it. It seems to me that someone who eats a lot of a certain type of food would naturally increase the type of bacteria that thrive on that type of food. I dont eat a lot of Thai food, not because I dont enjoy the flavor, but because my gut bacteria seems to want to cast it out in as painful a manner as possible. I bet if I were to eat Thai food every day for a year, things would change and my guts flora would reflect that. Bacteria cant think for you...
Thumbtack really saved my former Condo association.

Last August, the condo association signed 1 year contract with a property management firm. 6 months into the contract they suddenly gave us their 3 month termination notice. Apparently due to the co-owners divorcing.

As soon as we got the termination notice we started searching on Angies List and Google for other property management firms. The search was not that fruitful.

Came across Thumbtack, entered in our data. Like magic we got 2 solid leads. Interviewed both companies, both were good, but we ended up choosing one of those companies. Both of the companies were better than the companies we interviewed last year; and we got leads for those through references and Google.

For a while society just plain ostracized anyone atypical, and then swung back really hard to our current position of "everyone is the same". I would like to think we're near a point where we'll settle back on a more nuanced middle ground, where instead of having a single box we shove everyone into (with those who don't fit being either left aside or crammed in awkwardly), we can instead recognize the benefits in "disadvantages" like you mentioned.

I think we'll come to accept that dyslexia, autism, ADD/ADHD, and countless other "disorders" are really just specializations.
Police/prosecutors will generally try to build a case before they decide to simply bust into someone's house. And they work on that case for a long time because it needs to hold up in court. I'm not saying that it isn't possible (and of course depends on where you are) but if in fact the law specifically states that you have to either sell [1] or use the money (and not possess it - which was my hypothetical question) then I can't seem them breaking in w/o proof that that is the case. That's the "if".

That doesn't look as good for production line work where you'll need to be working on something a few feet off the ground and doesn't have nearly the amount of positions or support. It's definitely a lot cheaper though.

"Lots of people have claimed to sell fake currency in these marketplaces"

It's actually possible to print realistic currency as long as it doesn't match (in certain ways) real currency. When I was in the graphics industry we would get memos from the secret service. I don't remember the specifics but one was the size of the bill. IIRC it doesn't have as much to do (as you would think) with an exact copy.

So then the question becomes if you try to sell fake currency that isn't really even the right type of fake it's fraud. Same as if you sell any good online that isn't represented the way you describe it. And goes by the fraud laws.

But here's the thing. Nobody is going to turn you in if you scammed them on buying fake dollar bills.

Humans are pattern recognition animals, we like to look at anything random and extract meaningful patterns from it.

"Rearranging the tree above CWD isn't a problem, CWD will follow along just fine (as in, be the same directory)."

I was citing rearranging the tree is a potential issue with absolute directories, not with relying on CWD - that certainly could have been clearer.

"Also, you're assuming AT_FDCWD won't be -1, which could be reasonable but isn't guaranteed afaik."

Interesting point regarding guarantees. It's not -1 on any existing OS that I can find (it seems to be -100 on Linux and FreeBSD, -3041965 on Solaris, -2 on AIX), and shouldn't be for precisely this reason, but something to bear in mind if you are working on something more obscure that nonetheless has these functions.

Of course, you shouldn't be relying on reasonable behavior from functions passed a bad FD in general. It's just nice to have the additional defense when that does get missed.

The pens are worthless in general. Real bills can "fail", fake bills easily pass if they care to. The Secret Service will tell you to not rely on them if you call them up and ask about them.

A friend of mine had a $10 bill checked and confiscated at a corner store a few years ago. The bill was genuine, but a few decades old and over those past decades it accumulated enough starch on it to trip the pen. He had to call the local SS field office and get them to talk the corner store into giving him back his bill (the SS looked up the serial number, said that it wasn't a serial number known to be used on counterfeits, told them that the pens were shit, and told them to give the bill back).

I say the pens are worthless because, although they can detect counterfeits that somebody ran through their ink-jet at home, those sort of counterfeits won't fool a standard "look and feel" check anyway. In fact, they may give you a false sense of confidence and distract you from the more robust "look and feel" check.

> then you should be measuring how many crimes are committed on a daily basis by the cops vs. good deeds.

I don't think that's a very good metric. You wouldn't measure "how good of a person" a murderer is by counting how many minutes of his life he spent murdering versus how many minutes he spent not murdering. And you wouldn't measure "how good of a disease" cancer is by counting how many people it kills versus how many people it does not kill.

Is there any clean way to use an Option/Maybe monad in C (or C++)? It should be a simple way to solve problems where error codes are valid inputs of other functions.

The simplest way I can think of is:

}

Although I wonder if using C++ templates, classes and operator overloading is possible to make a more practical implementation (using void* does seem like a bad idea).

"For practical purposes, the null pointer and the integer `0` are one and same."

For most practical purposes, which is why I said that it wasn't a terrible approximation. However, they can be distinguished on some architectures:

intptr_t x = 0;
void *p = 0;

x == *(intptr_t*)(char*)&p;

I can easily construct fantasy scenarios (involving more than a bit of Doing It Wrong) where this would be relevant. I'm not convinced it couldn't ever be relevant without Doing It Wrong, if one in fact needed to work on that kind of a system.

Summary: Because the energy of the Big Bang was moving, and the Schwarzschild radius is for stationary mass.

And I'm sorry, but this explains NOTHING. Even for moving mass the density was enough to make a black hole.

So presumably the density never actually got that high, or there is some other explanation we are not aware of.

He should have just said: We don't really know. Because we don't. Why is there this requirement that science be able to explain everything?

Is it because it's held up as an alternative to religion so people are petrified that if there are any holes people will say "sciences knows nothing, back to religion"?

(Now that I've setup my strawman I'm going to knock it down.)

First of all Science and Religion are not competing for adherents. You can believe that God created the universe and still want to investigate how he did it, and what the details are. Even if you believe the Big Bang never actually happened (i.e. it's an off-camera backstory), you can still be interested in investigating it because if God made it look like that then it's important.

Second the whole point of science is saying "I don't know", otherwise it's a religion, not science.

For example, if fish A realizes that swimming around corner X gets it food, because X happens to correspond to "move forward and punch", that's enough to win the game if fish B doesn't figure out the same.
Is Burning Man really this awful?
I think it's not a probabilistic matter, but more a way of framing Occam's razor. If you allow enough "tunable" variables with just the right values you can easily make a theory fit any observation. For this reason theories including variables requiring a lot of precision to generate our universe are looked with distrust by physicists, I believe.

It's not used 'too broadly.' Autism is a disorder on a spectrum. Some people have mild autism, some people have moderate and some people have severe autism. These are technical terms.

Also calling people 'autistic' and later calling people with autism 'it' as in 'try to injure itself' is a really shitty way to talk about human beings. Check yourself.

A light-bulb's light also doesn't penetrate solid objects. It's clearly a different type of radiation than standard light.

You could return a pointer or null. That would successfully force the "did it succeed" check, but of course raises questions about memory management.

Tagged union is probably the best approach. It doesn't prevent skipping the check, but it at least makes "thing I am supposed to use" different than "thing I am supposed to check".
> The TSA is a government agency, not a private organization.

Right, but the airlines are private and you are choosing to enter into a contract with them out of your own volition. The TSA is a regulator, but is not requiring that you fly.

Which sucks, but doesn't sound like a constitutional violation to me.

This got downvoted, but I believe the comment is correct. Technically, as stated, the headline does not imply causation. It's like saying "cities with declining crime have declining rates of microsoft internet explorer usage".

That's probably true for most cities. The way I phrased it does not imply causation.

What's the difference between the two sentences? The first one presents a situation where causation seems plausible to us, so we infer it automatically. Whereas, causation seems implausible between crime and IE, so we don't read my sentence as implying causation.

Our brains are wired to automatically see causation if it seems plausible and there's a correlation. I teach the LSAT, and this is one of the topics tested.

Normally, the testmakers go to great lengths to disguise what they're doing. But on causation/correlation questions, they just present the correlation. They know we're so bad at it that the question will fool people without any other special tricks.
