not being familiar with this case -- but from an outside perspective reading the mailing list now, seems Alan introduced a patch that broke userland code -- which is the biggest No-No in kernel hacking, ie. the number 1 rule is don't break userland. Alan appeared to argue userland code was broken and not his patch, which just made Linus mad (as expected). The kernel strives to never break userland, even when userland is relying on legacy and/or broken pieces of kernel code (the idea is to code around the broken parts and provide compatibility until userland changes/fixes their problem -- ie. no kernel change should ever mass-break userland code).

Perhaps I'm not understanding the terminology, but every implementation I've ever seen consumes input incrementally. E.g.

data (i ~> o) = A (i -> (o, i ~> o))
data (i ~> o) = forall s. A (i -> s -> (o, s))

in each case, the inputs are consumed sequentially, the outputs returned immediately, and the local state updated for the next time around.

If you're referring to the ability for a new event to update the signal network only partially (in Elliott's terminology, "push" semantics) then there's Amsden's TimeFlies library.
Welcome to the club? PrivEscs exploits are becoming more common as sandboxes increase in popularity. Windows had a few such bugs exploited by real attackers as zerodays in the last month (check CrowdStrike and FireEye blogs). I don't think this is news. It is simply a matter of effort whether an attacker will escalate privileges to root or kernel, it depends on the value of the data they are after.

I agree, in part. Politicians do need to have a glass bank account. It was a metaphorical prevention, like not getting a job in an industry you just regulated. Corruption is American politics runs so deep, I don't know of an acceptable way to handle it.

I found that Windows configuration (Synaptics and Lenovo) utilities were all lacking in configurability. I have primarily switched to Linux (openSUSE) which has far better support for common two-finger scrolling and right-clicking as well as more configurable for the sensitivity, palm detection, etc.

I couldn't believe how much better my Thinkpad Edge touchpad worked under Linux, and the trackpoint nub was able to be sped up and adjusted so its my preferred means of movement when typing. So I think there's something to be said for both hardware and software (and drivers) which affect the final user experience; unfortunately there seems to be less concern or attention towards that aspect with PCs than Macs.
After this past year with all of its vulnerabilities, I feel so uncomfortable when I really consider it. I make online payments at least a few times a week using my credit card. I log into my web based email multiple times per day.

> Power companies have the exact same problem.

Not to anywhere near the same extent. The range of power consumption of residences probably covers less than an order of magnitude. The range of bandwidth consumption of residences probably covers several orders of magnitude.

> how do power companies solve it?

By charging people for power consumed, directly. Power companies don't have flat-rate, unlimited-use plans. Everyone knows that if they use more electricity, they pay more, and if they use less, they pay less.

> if they don't people complain, loudly.

Yes, because electrical power is a necessity in a way that Netflix-level internet bandwidth is not.

> I do not believe that consumer internet should be sold via lines that are contended to the point that "brownouts" (that is having bandwidth of < subscribed rate) are a normal occurrence.

ISP's do have customers that get that kind of service. Those customers are called "businesses", and they pay significantly more than residential customers do, because they insist on actual service level guarantees.

Yeah -- the failure to design IPv6 as a compatible extension of IPv4 in order to ease migration. See http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/ipv6mess.html

It's important to note that secular stagnation, while being a recently popular theory, seems to require implausible assumptions. For example, the Egertsson/Mehrotra paper is one of the first papers to actually come up with a formal secular stagnation model.

Unfortunately in order to make it work, the model requires both negative rates of return and high storage costs, both of which simply aren't correct. It remains to be seen whether one can actually construct a secular stagnation model that fits the world.

http://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2014/10/doe...

It's also worth noting that many of the same pop-economists who purport to believe in secular stagnation also tend to subscribe to Piketty-style theories. These people can be immediately dismissed as fools, since Piketty postulates a world with high rates of return and significant investment in productivity. Piketty is very much incompatible with secular stagnation.
Don't forget the crushing secret police state, the high cost of the soviet focus on war production that redeployed commerce across the soviet empire to make weapons, instead of consumer goods, centralized planning, failed communist economic policies, gulags, and the decades of communist education that wiped out generations of entrepreneurs.

If you brush before sleep (with triclosan, a very common antibacterial agent), you breathe >25% of your breaths through a mouth populated with antibacterial agents.

The prevalence of antibacterial agents in soaps, & toothpastes in the last 15 years coincides with the increases in asthma & digestive disorders.

The article says, essentially, "It's complex, and adaptive, so be careful how you force it away from a neutral state." Yet, adding antibacterial agents to toothpastes is quite a forceful change.

I'm aware that "family reasons" is usually management speak for "I think the boss is an asshole" but I'd like to assure everyone that while I frequently think Linus is an asshole (and therefore very good as kernel dictator) I am departing quite genuinely for family reasons and not because I've fallen out with Linus or Intel or anyone else. Far from it I've had great fun working there.

Tackling stigma is a positive step. I don't know why you don't get that. It is more than just "don't do x".

You're just arguing about words.

"Don't discriminate against people with a mental illness when recruiting for a job" becomes "give people with a mental illness the same treatment at job interviews".

But if you want a bigger list:

Reform the broken healthcare model in the US

Push for evidence based treatment. This will usually be a short course of CBT; sometimes it'll be a talking therapy and meds. Sometimes it'll be meds and talking therapies and weekly / monthly visits from a nurse or an occupational therapist. Rarely it'll be a stay in hospital. Even more rarely it'll be a forced stay in hospital against the patient's wishes. Even more rarely it'll be a forensic hospitalisation - a forced stay in hospital ordered by the courts instead of a prison stay.

Push for employment programmes to get people with a mental illness back into employment. See for example the Sainsbury Centre for Mental Health documents http://www.centreformentalhealth.org.uk/pdfs/dwp_commissioni...

Push for social inclusion programmes; volunteer for those programmes;

San Francisco has a death by suicide rate of 9.8 per 100,000.

Well apps want to scroll more than just a static image. And it's only partly the API's fault - OS X switched to overdraw only recently in 10.9, and without any major change to API.

On a more positive note, once it settles down a bit, Rust would be a good language to support for small ARM boards like the Arduino Due. With 96 KB RAM and 512KB code space, they're big enough that the problems of large programs start to appear. They're too small for much of an operating system, so code runs on the bare metal. The Arduino tool chain, which is really C/C++, works on the Due, but it's really intended for tiny programs. If you have a bad pointer, you're cross-debugging at the bare machine level, which is generally considered Not Fun.

So there's a near-term use case for Rust that might develop a user base.
In supermarkets it's not even the fish - there's little to no nigiri in the case, and the rolls mostly contain little or even no fish. They're mostly rice, slathered-on sauce, vegetables, and then maybe some fish (like breaded shrimp). You could theoretically order "fresh" (for whatever value of fresh the fish behind the counter is), but I'm not sure I've ever seen someone order instead of grabbing from the case.

Perhaps "Americans don't know what good sushi tastes like" though.
I used to play flac files on my Octane (300 MHz,1 CPU). Given how little load it caused, I'd expect it to work well on a O2 180mhz r5k. Perhaps you are using an older still iris machine though?

While just about any device can play .wav, many devices have so little storage that I find myself ripping on flac, the re-encoding to something lossy and lower bit rate to get a reasonable amount onto a mobile device.
Article 3, section 1 has no bearing on the actions of the individual. Notice that the language that targets institutions and governments.

(and as an aside, I really think good email service is worth paying for, and having been woken in the middle of the night to fix things that customers never even noticed - I know that it won't stay surprisingly pleasant forever)

I think it's really important to make it clear that they (well, specifically bailouts really) are also not ideas of the opposing bogeymen, though. No one who even thinks of considering themselves socialist or, say, anarchist would ever say "Yeah, let's give a bunch more money to rich people!"

The tendency for power to accumulate into the hands of a few, who then manipulate the economy to their own ends, is a problem endemic to all social power structures. No system yet invented has proven immune to it merely through built-in assumptions of the model.
Reading this, I couldn't help thinking of an observation P.J. O'Rourke made after visiting the DDR ("East Germany"): "It takes a special kind of economic system to turn a nation full of Germans into a third-world country".
I find Chipotle really interesting as a company, because they are sort of the most mass market expression of these foodie ideas. Watching them struggle with ingredient quality as they've gone to massive scale is really interesting. They still retain their most important characteristics and their ability to train thousands of people to properly cook food the way they do is amazing. As an entrepreneur I'm just consistently impressed.

As a "foodie" (god I hate that word tho), I very often make it my lunch.
That's because providing a service like this really sucks the life out of you. The theory was that we could either drive people towards the paying accounts, or monetize the accounts some other way.

The stats said - free accounts very rarely converted to paying accounts. All the monitizing options for people with free accounts are pretty creepy, even text-only ads were bad. We hated that.

So we turned off free accounts. FastMail only provides paid accounts, and in exchange we don't need to look for another business model - we take payment in exchange for providing an awesome service and everybody is happy.

... and per the estimated price of $0.30/yr for 2Gb storage - our costs are much higher than that. On the other hand we have 3 full copies of every email store, two in one datacentre and one in another - and each of them is on RAID1 SSD and RAID6 SATA, all encrypted - with enough CPU and RAM to work fast. Metadata and the current week's email is on SSD, the rest on SATA. There's a reason we're fast, and it's because people pay us enough to be able to invest in full time engineers working on optimising our usage of the hardware resources we have. Feel free to read the source code for our IMAP server at:

https://github.com/brong/cyrus-imapd/ in the fastmail branch.

(or have a look at the git repository at git.cyrusimap.org where we are pushing many of our contributions back into the master branch in preparation for the public 2.5 release soon)

I feel no guilt at not offering free service. We provide value for money to our customers.

Bailouts and central bank manipulation are also capitalist ideas, or at least they were developed by capitalist economists within a capitalist framework on behalf of capitalists to try and keep capitalism afloat.

Bailing out banks and hoping they will spend it on industry just after they bankrupted themselves by gambling shows an unquestioning and total belief in the institutions of capital.

Socialists would have just lent cheap money directly to industry and full on communists would have thought it a great opportunity to dismantle the monetary system.

edit - Thinking about it, it may be a weird form of cargo-cult capitalism. As in, the political business of managing capitalist economies has been replaced by a belief in preserving the current institutions of capital, irrespective of how those institutions are behaving.
