Why would anyone think drinking the milk of another animal, evolved to grow calves, not people?

The article's second-to-last paragraph tells you everything. We believe in milk because it's profitable for diary producers to promote it, which they do.

> Politics are certainly at play here [...] the vast majority of Dairy Management’s funding for its marketing strategies comes from the producers themselves. The U.S.D.A.'s role in promoting dairy was firmly established in the 1983 Dairy Production and Stabilization Act, which made it the business of the government to carry out a “coordinated program of promotion designed to strengthen the dairy industry’s position in the marketplace and to maintain and expand domestic and foreign markets and uses for fluid milk and dairy products.”
What I take away from this is that milk does not provide any particular benefits over other food. Which does not mean there's necessarily anything wrong with it.

Personally, I was a long-time vegetarian, and am now a pescetarian. I am also a very active person, training in power lifting and Brazilian jiu jitsu several times a week. I drink whole milk daily because it is calorie and protein dense, not because I think it has some magical properties.
Looking beyond the language itself; a part of the problem was having to wrestle with Haskell's cabal. Now the question is whether that poison is worse than other language's package managers (or kind-of-package managers).

> A fatty/protein-filled drink like milk is still better for you than what a majority of americans consume gallons of a week: carbonated high fructose corn syrup.

And less healthy than the water our ancestors drank exclusively for millions of years before we domesticated animals (except for babies and their mothers' milk).
So, in other words, only your own biases and preconceived notions.

Problem is that you may test the system now and it all works fine. But the day after you deploy, somebody named Murphy adds or updates a proxy somewhere in your topology that breaks things. Or your organization gets a new customer or partner with a differently configured network.
Because it turns out God didn't handcraft every single one of us and there is considerable overlap between the needs of calves and that of humans. So maybe "milk is good for you" is another marketing ploy like the KFC christmas in Japan or Coca-Cola. I'm pretty sure sugary drinks are still worse in comparison, though.
About a litre or so daily, sometimes more. Then again levels of lactose tolerance in southern parts of Scandinavia here I'm from is amongst the highest in the world.

"historically better than most other OSs"

Such as? And how?

"even having a window partially on one monitor and partially on another, with it working fine."

Huh? In Safari, on 10.10 - dragging a window from my iMac to half on my TB display results in the window being partially visible on the iMac, and not at all visible on the TB. When you drag further to the TB display (so your mouse, but not the entire window is on the TB), then it snaps to the TB display. Both inconsistent and not at all what you describe. I don't have any windows so far I can get to sit across monitor boundaries.

Which I read later is related to 10.10?

So handling of multiple monitors is broken from one extreme (full screen pre Mavericks) to the other "Well, full screen works now, but your screens are effectively fenced off (Yosemite). Not sure how this is "better than most" support for multiple monitors.

"(which you can turn off if you want, to back to only being able to use one monitor in full screen mode)."

That's a horrible hack that with everyone's insistent claim on Apple's attention to detail and quality should never have made it passed QA.
Abuse from peers and the community at large for sending nudes is heaped on girls vastly more than boys. I singled out girls for that reason although boys have certainly be subject to harassment. I absolutely think it's abuse for groups of boys targeting girls to "collect" their nudes for sharing and girls to take the pictures of other girls for use as bullying / shaming fodder.

Snapchat encouraged the idea that nobody but the receiver could ever see your photos, even though they knew this wasn't true. This takes perfectly normal sexual experimentation and turns it into a bullying service which they have done nothing about. Yes, it's the users' behavior but when a company aims at a young audience and then doesn't seem to care about their safety that it turns into something they're responsible for.

A shoutout for attic https://attic-backup.org/

Attic is one of the new-generation hash-backup tools (like obnam, zbackup, Vembu Hive etc). It provides encrypted incremental-forever (unlike duplicity, duplicati, rsnapshot, rdiff-backup, Ahsay etc) with no server-side processing and a convenient CLI interface, and it does let you prune old backups.

All other common tools seem to fail on one of the following points

- Incremental forever (bandwidth is expensive in a lot of countries)

- Untrusted remote storage (so i can hook it up to a dodgy lowendbox VPS)

- Optional: No server-side processing needed (so i can hook it up to S3 or Dropbox)

If your backup model is based on the old' original + diff(original, v1) + diff(v1, v2).. then you're going to have a slow time restoring. rdiff-backup gets this right by reversing the incremental chain. However, as soon as you need to consolidate incremental images, you lose the possibility of encrypting the data (since encrypt(diff()) is useless from a diff perspective).

But with a hash-based backup system? All restore points take constant time to restore.

Duplicity, Duplicati 1.x, and Ahsay 5 don't support incremental-forever. Ahsay 6 supports incremental-forever at the expense of requiring trust in the server (server-side decrypt to consolidate images). Duplicati 2 attempted to move to a hash-based system but they chose to use fixed block offsets rather than checksum-based offsets, so the incremental detection is inefficient after an insert point.

IMO Attic gets everything right. There's patches for windows support on their github. I wrote a munin plugin for it.

Disclaimer: I work in the SMB backup industry.

For someone like me who isn't very technically minded (forgive me)...

Could you or someone explain why these fantastic sounding tools don't get a developed front-end? Or if they do why am I missing them?

The best solution I've found is ChronoSync.
I think your understating how hard it is for a beginner to create a spec for an rpm. As a n00b I recently did this for sikuli on CentOS 6. The macros in the spec file gave me the most trouble. The close second was the build process until I realized that specs where designed for maintainers not developers.

Normally, someone has already written a spec that you can modify for your use case.

Given the number of docker projects (looking at you redis) that build from source, docker seems to be moving into package management.
Because it is a convenient food source, for those that can digest it. Being able to digest lactose is more common in people whose ancestors domesticated cows. Human evolution has not stopped; the ability for some people to digest lactose into adulthood is a recent adaptation, which happened after we domesticated cows and had a convenient food source available, aside from their meat.

A cow's liver also serves a very specific evolutionary purpose for the cow, but I've never seen anyone say, "Why would anyone think of eating a cow's liver, evolved to detoxify the cow, not feed people?"
If so, he should keep in mind that "sugary drinks" include fruit juices.

The calorie contents of Pepsi is not that far removed from many fruit juice products. Some, like lemonades, can often be higher in sugars than Pepsi.

> I didn't really realise lactose intolerance was a thing until I was in mid 20's and moved to the UK.

Many probably don't realize it until they "acquire" it themselves. Or maybe they just start feeling bloated after drinking a lot of milk or eating ice cream, and don't really consider that it might be a mild intolerance.
Fair enough. I'm a musician so that's the first thing that came to mind when I heard "smart earplugs" (Etymotic have a wide range of products beyond the GSP). I do have to work in a noisy office environment sometimes, and so these could be great for that. Right now I have a giant pair of construction-site style over-the-ear cans that I combine with various noise generators.
I'm not convinced that the "ethics" surrounding content protection are so cut and dry (I'm ignoring malware masked add DRM here as i don't believe or applies). I wish that Hollywood would get with the times. I wish they would give me affordable and reasonable mediums with which to watch their content.

That said, i recognize that it is their content, and i don't think that their methods here make them "bad" or "evil". I think they're dinosaurs who are slow to change and afraid of losing money.

I don't think this is a moral issue, nor do i believe that we have an inaliable right to watch Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones.

Actually, before the advent of farming, the water our ancestors drank was probably pretty clean, since hunter-gatherer societies had fairly low population densities.

And the reason they are not in bup is that those two things are the only hard things in a backup.

So they did the easy parts and skipped the hard parts.

Hardly a perfect backup.

I'm not sure a backup with all three of: delete old backups, encryption, and upload only differences even exists.

I think it might be one of those "pick any two" things, but if anyone knows of a backup with all three let me know.

I also have rarely seen much contributed back in my limited experience, especially outside of the "tech industry" proper. I've noticed the lack especially in "big engineering" (oil & gas, CAD, aeronautics, etc.), and recently also in "data toolkit" type markets like proprietary bioinformatics toolkits, data-mining toolkits, GIS packages, etc. I don't work there myself fwiw, but for various reasons have spent some time observing development practices. BSD-licensed code is included in tons of profitable proprietary products in those areas that have never contributed back a line to the original project. Much of the time they drag their feet on even giving any acknowledgment to the project they took the code from. Really they would prefer to pretend they invented it all themselves, 100% Custom Proprietary Solution, with no acknowledgement whatsoever. They do typically grudgingly make the legally required copyright acknowledgment, but in the "New BSD" variant of the BSD license that removed the traditional requirement for acknowledgment to be prominent, that's pretty easy to bury in fine print in the most obscure place you can concoct (a random .txt file on the install medium, or somewhere in the fine print at the end of a manual, are two popular options).

A plausible counterargument is that these types of companies wouldn't contribute back anyway: they just aren't interested. In that case the practical choice is between letting them free-ride off your code (BSD) or not letting them use it at all (GPL), because they aren't going to make a choice that involves contributing back, regardless of your license. In that case I can see people leaning towards BSD. But I'd personally lean towards GPL, because I think that, at least often, shutting these companies out of the ability to use open-source code would probably be a net win for society. But it's hard to prove that. And this probably depends significantly on your goals and the kind of software you write.

I seem to remember OS X being based on BSD/386, part of the proof being a number of bugs in early OS X systems that had been fixed in BSD/386 before FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD forked. Almost as if OS X was fork that pre-dated the more famous distributions.
The conclusion is sort of weak - that milk isn't strictly necessary and doesn't do much good for you because most Americans aren't vitamin- or calorie- deficient.

That logic could be applied to literally anything. Is beef good for you? Most Americans aren't protein deficient and beef has a lot of saturated fat in it. Is chicken good for you? Most Americans aren't protein deficient. Are carrots good for you? Most Americans aren't Vitamin A-deficient. etc.

Milk is fine. Not everyone can tolerate it. You don't need to drink a gallon a day to stay alive. But it's a perfectly fine part of a normal diet. And for kids who are sometimes fussy eaters, yeah, milk can actually make the difference between getting enough calories or not.
currently bup doesn't implement encryption (since it's a pretty hard feature to get right and we do want to finish coding other key features -- like old backup removal -- before we get to that)

some ppl have reported using an encrypted storage backend like ecryptfs to store their bup repositories in. that option shouldn't be too hard to put together.

I've had mine for 4+ years and have found it very reliable. It's keyless and non-networked, both of which I consider to be features. Aside from initial installation (which was a pain), no other complaints.

"Basically never" is an overstatement, but it is true to the point of "Never unless you already know why I said 'basically never'"

It boils down to the fact that ZFS maintains a mapping from hashes to LBNs. This allows write-time deduplication (as opposed to a scrubber that runs periodically and retroactively deduplicates already written blocks). This is somewhat memory intensive though. For smaller ZFS pools you can get away with just having lots of RAM (and with or without dedupe ZFS performs better the more RAM you have). For larger ones, you can add a SSD to act as additional disk cache.

Here's a quick description of that setup:

https://blogs.oracle.com/brendan/entry/test

Note in this example that they were already showing 128GB of RAM for a 17TB pool; the L2ARC was to augment that. In general, ZFS was designed with a much higher RAM/Disk ratio than a workstation typically has.

We were shooting up the FP up to the #9 spot but for some reason, our post was suddenly pushed down. I don't know what triggered it - let me know if I did anything wrong but I am trying again!
Which does not mean there's necessarily anything wrong with it.

If it's nutritionally mundane, we should base our decision on other factors: environmental impact, sustainability and animal cruelty. In Australia, 400K-700 calves (< 30 days old) are sent to the slaughterhouse every year in order to sustain its milk industry.
> The licensing stuff is tangential. Yes, it's their stated reason, but it's a cover story.

So it's a pure coincidence they stopped updating gcc in OSX right when it moved to GPLv3? And the reason they stopped updating bash, Emacs, etc., and dumped Samba, is also because those projects didn't move in the direction they wanted?
OpenBSD was doing (surprising to me) a tremendous amount of work w/ accelerated gfx over the past few years.

My personal NetBSD experience has been that (on a laptop) my ATI Radeon was supported (back in the day) and currently, we've been experiencing "near misses" with accelerated gfx w/ Intel integrated (ie: i915) GPUs. NetBSD -current (7.99.1) is currently (on my Lenovo Thinkpad t420) unstably supporting accelerated graphics. I'm hoping this effort stabilizes and sticks around.
Cutting edge is always buggy, full stop.

If you're sending millions of dollars worth of technology into space for 10 years, you want to be more than reasonably sure it will still work when it gets where it's going.

That is simply not something you can be reasonably sure of with "cutting edge" technology.
In addition to the memory requirements, I seem to recall that it works at the block level, as opposed to the file level. So you could have two of the same file, but maybe one copy is written at the start of a block and one is written in the middle of a block. Same file, different blocks, so no deduplication.

Agreed for sure! But it does look like additional FreeBSD stuff was added as nextstep turned into darwin/osx.

I found a couple of other articles, I didn't know Linus turned down the job offer from Steve Jobs before they hired that famous FreeBSD developer. It's funny to think how things might have turned out in an alternate reality :) http://www.wired.com/2013/08/jordan-hubbard/

It's also fascinating to try old versions of nextstep and rhapsody in virtual machines, you can really tell how osx traces straight back. Even the installer is so similar still, comparing nextstep 3 and yosemite (if you bring up the console window during its progress)
