I work from home and the lines are very blurred. I can code for 12 hours one day, and then the next day do no coding at all. Then a few hours on the weekend while the girlfriend is sleeping. Then I make a trip up to the office once a week and put in a 16 hour day (including bullshitting and ping pong, though) and sleep in.

I really like being focused on tasks rather than being busy at work. As long as I accomplish things, there should be no issue about my productivity.

Suddenly, there is no procrastinating. It's just time I happen not to spend working.
How to Find Out Who‘s Popular on Twitter

If your workflow doesn't include tmux or screen, then I feel like your problem's already been answered. If you really wanted to, you could just add a "/bin/screen -DR; exit" to your remote .bashrc and the screen integration would be completely invisible after the initial instantiation.

As far as mosh is concerned, it feels like it's an extremely overengineered solution to the "I wish I had started this process in a screen session" problem, except you need to be thinking even further ahead than you would normally (installing and connecting via a mosh service, as opposed to remembering to connect to a screen session that can be run with very little prior setup and no client modification).

I have been using Screen for years. Will Screen attempt to reconnect to a remote SSH session? I think what `screen -DR` will do is - it will automatically connect me to a screen session `after` I login to the remote machine.

But if I lost connectivity - my SSH session won't be auto-resumed from local machine in first place, I think thats one of the things `mosh` solves.

It promises lower latency etc, but I am just perhaps too slow to notice such things (or both SSH/Mosh feel equally laggy if remote connection is slow enough).

The problem with "application bundles" is that a lot of libraries are involved in interactions between programs. Can libgnome from 3.10 interact with libgnome from 3.12? What happens when you try? How about when you've got 20+ applications each using a different version? I'm not sure anybody really knows the answer to these questions, because we normally go to great lengths to avoid finding out.

OSX "solves" this problem by not having it: all the major libraries are supplied by Apple and are part of the system, not part of the bundle. So in practical terms, OSX does it the same way as the linux distros: on the vendor's timetable, and upstream authors have to follow along.

You can bundle things like zlib, which have a very well-defined API and never really change... but then you have a horrible mess when there is a security flaw in zlib and you need to update every application installed everywhere. But stable libraries like zlib are exactly the sort of thing that regular shared libraries work great for, and it's the fast-moving unstable APIs like libgnome that cause all the grief.

Management and manipulation are not the same, although the successful management may require some manipulation. Good managers do more then just manipulate a bunch of people into doing managers work. I have seen managers like that and they are useless to organization. They just suck up money and time, although they personally may be doing good. We do not want the schools to produce more people like that.

Yeah mosh is amazing. Just using screen isn't nearly as good because you still have restart the ssh connection. I usually have 5+ open at once so restarting them all is annoying.
In French, Mosh is exactly pronounced as "moche" which means ugly.

Of course, this doesn't change anything in the project interest!

> solution to the "I wish I had started this process in a screen session"

Not necessarily. When I'm thethering my phone's data connection to my laptop I use mosh to ssh into my server because it resists way better to bad connectivity. No matter if I used screen or not, I would still have to kill the ssh process and connect again and reopen screen if I didn't use mosh.
> I assume it's not enough to understand the basics of economics or politics either.

I have some background in econ (my college major) and most mainstream reporting is passable—it's not great, but it at least attempts to have some understanding, as opposed to the mainstream approach to technology (it's basically magic).

Econ, politics, etc. are still in the humanities and many journalism majors will have some GenEd requirements to take those courses. Yet there's zero expectation or requirement of basic technical literacy.

Yes, journalism usually lacks depth and experts from all fields will find something to quibble with. But the understanding gap is much worse in STEM fields because they're kept so far apart from the humanities.
Eugenics is one of those words steeped in 20th century baggage.

I think there is a parallel to geo-engineering. It sounds like it'll lead someplace troublesome. people can't be trusted with it. OTOH, we have international conferences where they're trying to reach some sort of decisions about how much carbon there should be in the atmosphere. Maybe they'll be deciding how warm it should be, or how much rain europe should be getting.

Once we have the ability to influence these things we are geo-engineers, eugenicists, etc. It's not a choice. Not any more than we chose to take horses, ship rats and house cats to every part of the world.

>...and now I will always want to fly on an Airbus instead.

Reminds me of a joke I was once told by a QA consultant:

His colleague was on his way to deliver a revision of software which had been
extensively tested and many serious bugs discovered and fixed. The software was so
important that it was to be delivered in person by the consultant on a laptop to
the customer.

On the walkway to the plane, he happened to glance up and see the aeroplane he was
about to board was an Airbus. In fact the very revision that had the same
software he'd just been testing and had found to be full of bugs.

Oh no.

Suddenly getting very cold feet and desperately thinking of a way not to get on the
plane he takes a drastic step and deliberately drops and destroys the laptop with
the software he was going to deliver.

Happy now he returns to the office and declares
'well, that's a shame - but I think I'll take the train next time'

- was told to me as a true story, and you never know...

If they actually do that, it'd be considered unethical. While specific credit isn't always given to the originator of an idea, superiors shouldn't pretend they actually had the idea. In many organizations, explicitly passing off an idea as your own would be a pretty serious offense.

Yup, it's an acknowledge problem (though most politicians avoid coming out an admitting that most teachers aren't very bright). Considering where education falls in the pay spectrum for college graduates (near the bottom), it should be no surprise that our "best and brightest" go in to tech, finance, and consulting—never education.

I have spent quite a bit of time on this over the past few years, mainly because I know it's a problem for me and for many others.

Like any hacker, my plan is to build something. I've started off with a personal news aggregation site that visits the places I normally go and creates a "Newspaper" of plain-text articles I can read without all the engagement/addiction/distraction stuff.

I find if nothing else, this allows me to consume a lot more! So I'm not sure I'm solving it. But once I get that nailed, I'm going to do statistical text analysis to reduce interesting articles to summaries. I find many times that because I begin reading an article, I feel as if I should continue to the end. If I had only a paragraph, with no easy way of continuing? (With perhaps a "Save for later" button that would make the article available in four hours or something) I'd probably drift a lot less.

This is a very tough problem. Many times I find myself reading some about some obscure topic that does not make either an immediate or long-term positive difference in my life. I fear for too many of us the internet is consuming us instead of the other way around. Good luck!
Nobody is sure how they did it. Or even if it comes from iCloud.

You're ssh'd to a remote server and in a screen session. Actually, let's say you've got tmux going, and like four panes with different sessions to different hosts.

Now, you close your laptop, hop on your bike, enjoy a nice lunch somewhere, and head to a café for the afternoon. You open your laptop again.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but with your setup, you need to go to each pane and re-ssh to each host. But with mosh, I don't need to do anything except wait a few seconds. All of my connections are re-established, and (even without screen) my sessions are restored just as I left them.
Any mention of eugenics makes me distinctly queasy as I learned from my mother in my mid 20s that I was almost aborted as an embryo on the recommendation of doctors as two of my older siblings are (mildy) physically disabled and they judged there was a risk I could suffer the same problem.

Fortunately for me, my mother's GP discussed the matter with her and actually argued against the recommendations of specialists and I turned out perfectly healthy.

This matter only came up in conversation when she mentioned that the GP in question had died and I said I had never liked him as a kid and she pointed out how ironic that was as he saved my life.....
Does anyone know how exactly the process of assigning apps to reviewers works? Is it possible for individual reviewers to cherrypick apps for favourable/unfavourable treatment? Are there people reviewing the reviewers?
Perhaps an expert could weigh in here, because I don't really understand the controversy.

The "third parent" provides mitochondria which, by my understanding, doesn't affect the genetic makeup of the baby. In other words, the parents' genes which form the nucleus are intact and unmodified. Isn't this more akin to receiving an organ transplant than genetic manipulation/selection? Or am I missing the point here.
My main issue with mosh is having to open a massive UDP port range, which just goes against my instinct when it comes to security.

Pure languages are also great for this kind of thing, because of the lack of side-effects (aka Haskell's moto). OCaml manages its imperative parts in a way that isn't as good had Haskell does, but it's probably possible to get a very clean code that is mostly pure, allowing a mathematical proof of safety.

I run a series of e-mail newsletters on topics I'm interested in and have about 190k subscribers.

But that's only one tiny way, there are lots of people who do things like blog about news full-time, run tumblelogs, industry analysts, etc. http://daringfireball.net/ would be a top example of one of these. http://www.loopinsight.com/ are another. Lots of podcasts, YouTubers, etc. Generally "indie media" I guess.

It's worth noting, however, that it's quite hard to make a good living in that way and only a small percentage make it to an enviable position. It's certainly a lot easier to make $100k+ per year as a full-time programmer than as someone consuming/producing media.
Absolutely - all of the devices I mentioned had usability problems that are obvious in retrospect. But they were not so obvious for users steeped in this technology when looking at the first versions of the iPhone.

For my part, I was not at all interested in the iPhone: The keyboard was useless to me. I have big hands. The error rate I get with the iPhone keyboard made my (long discarded by then) Palm Pilot seem like the futuristic sci fi device. It wasn't until I tried one of the keyboard replacements for Android, on a bigger device, that I started preferring an on-screen keyboard.

Today I'm happily using SwiftKey on a 5.6" Android phone, so I'm back to swiping, though whole words rather than character by character, and I'd not rule out going to 6" next time. Going to an on screen keyboard felt like a massive step down after I'd tested friends iPhones. And a touch screen that didn't work with a stylus (without a massive tip) felt like a big step backwards.

The iPhone was obviously superior to dumb feature phones when it came. But lots of people in the industry had not had dumb feature phones for several years by then, and had learned to cope with (work around) or even like the things that the iPhone solved. That easily makes you blind for how other people will take to it.

I don't get the single speed thing either. A gearing at which I can achieve 15-20mph on the flat with a comfortable cadence is such a trial to get up even moderate hills that if I couldn't change down I'd get off and walk.

Perhaps there's some macho fitness thing involved. Perhaps people find lots of gears intimidating or derailleurs unreliable, in which case there is the good old Sturmey Archer 3-speed hub gear.
These points are not true for the Netherlands, at least: a PhD student is a real employee with the same rights as any other employee. So, after you lose a job you'll get support, if you get sick, you get support, if you get a child, you get support and (maternity) leave, you're part of a pension plan as well, and so on. (Source: I've been a PhD student for 4.5 years in the Netherlands till this summer and got all those rights, benefits, whatever, just like any other employee)

And yes, there are organisations for PhD students, which are employee organisations not student organisations, by the way.

There are some universities that are trying to change the status from a real employee towards a funded student, but that's not happening very fast, as of now.
Lucky you. Lots of kids were not that lucky.

The problem with any kind of structural attempt at removing undesirable traits/children with defects from the population before they are born is the false positive rates are very high. Fortunately for you you're here and healthy. The flip side is that you might not have been healthy and then there would be a significant burden on those around you and society. These are very difficult problems and the harshness and ease with which people talk about them and pass judgement are in stark contrast with what a more informed person would probably conclude.

The wikipedia article is particularly precise when it comes to articulating the problems stemming from slippery slope arguments around this subject.

In the end, Eugenics is a tool that can be used for good and bad, just like every other tool. But it needs very good oversight and the use cases displayed so far are not all positive in my opinion.

That is absurd on at least two levels. First of all, I really do not get "you are not supposed to prep for standardized tests" attitude. You prepare for graded exams in school, if you prepare for them you get better grades. But, for some weird reason, I should not prepare for ACT, although that one is much more important for future? If I will train writing essays within 20 minutes I will get better score then if I do not. Why is a student that does not care about it in advance behaving "as supposed to" then the one who cares?

Is there any other culture in the world where you are "not supposed to" study for an important exam?

The clubs thing is ridiculous too. If my "natural" selection of clubs makes my admission to good school less likely, it is my natural response to adjust clubs selection. The ridiculous thing is basing admissions on fluff like that.
If you're comfortable with Debian then you shouldn't have too many issues with FreeBSD as there is a lot of transferable knowledge between the two (FreeBSD even supports a lot of GNU flags which most other UNIXes don't).

Plus FreeBSD has a lot of good documentation (and the forums have proven a good resource in the past too) - so you're never going it alone (and obviously you have the usual mailing groups and IRC channels on Freenode).

While I do run quite a few Debian (amongst other Linux) I honestly find my FreeBSD server to be the most enjoyable / least painful platform to administrate. Obviously that's just personal preference, but I would definitely recommend trying FreeBSD to anyone considering ZFS.
> Any such scrollback is a property of the (local) terminal you're using, not ssh itself.

The Mosh client is also a terminal emulator (similar to screen); part of the reason it can be so efficient is that it isn't just another layer in the network stack over which standard lines of text travel, it is a remote console viewer (like VNC is for graphical desktops, only sending parts of the desktop that have changed; and if there is a massive wall of text spamming the screen, it will just show you the end result rather than sending it all)
