I was referring to single shifts where they overstaffed on a light afternoon so I didn't get many tables.

Also, I didn't get very good tips compared to some of the attractive and personable young women I worked with. Generally we did make more than minimum wage after tips, especially if you considered a weekly or biweekly average.

If I ever got stiffed on a table that would come out of my check, so my worst night was where I only had a few tables and got stiffed on a big one. I ended up paying to work that night since I needed to keep the job.

Do people not realize that _all_ names are "made up" by someone?
Hey Let's decide the best programming language with a tug of war
Say you have a list of full names and you want to teach a computer to get the first name out of each.

With "program synthesis", you provide a couple example outputs, and the computer tries to generate ("synthesize") a program that turns the input (i.e., the full name) into the output (i.e., just the first name).

Basically, this works as follows. You generate a ton of candidate programs, and then rank them that work for the input, and choose the "best" among them, and return that. The ranking is a bit of an art though.
I copy pasted your paragraph into the TTS. I like it very much, but it might just be on the level of Alex from Mac OS.

> it might just be good enough that I can <project> into it on that one.

Funny. It doesn't stress <project> as a verb, but as a noun, making the whole phrase mean something else.

Alex has a list of words like that too: live (to live) and live (live concert), progress (also verb and substantive), record, suspect and a bunch of other words that have multiple pronunciations based on the surrounding words (they are called homophones).

They should add homophone disambiguation - probably solvable with a classifier based on features extracted from surrounding words and POS tagging.

Broadcast.com went public July 18, 1998. Yahoo purchased BCST in April 1999 (or announced it then, not sure when it closed).

I'm guessing even if it were a potential issue, enough time had passed from the IPO, and it's unlikely the same restrictions apply to an acquisition. Cuban likely held his shares free and clear at that point.

A $1.4 billion collar would have drawn a lot of attention from the SEC, doubly so given the publicity and scale of the Yahoo transaction.

I was on the team that won the shredder challenge. I talked to one of the UCSD people afterwards and he practically convinced me that my team did it. After a while I realized that it was so damn easy to sabotage their effort that I didn't really care if my team did it because that's what happens when you invite the whole internet to your party. Now I guess they managed to clear us of that. :) Unfortunately, when this Adam guy wrecked their program, he wrote them a letter which simultaneously implied that he was our team and the group "Anonymous" at the same time. Some people at DARPA seemed to believe that claim (even though I used my real name to sign up) and so DARPA was very hesitant to announce that we had won the competition. It was a fun competition though.

> Research requires data.

There's a lot of research that could be performed if we were willing to generate data without due regard for the inherent downsides.

Saying research requires data is just insufficient justification in this case.

> I don't see why he could not release it to the public for researchers to use.

Because the collateral damage doesn't justify it. That aspect of it seems to be little more than a side note to him.

He could quietly and securely give the data to established researchers.

Or, he could very publicly release a torrent for everyone's use, with almost no concern for how it'll be used.

There's a massive difference there and the likely potential reasons behind his decision to do the latter leave very little room for one to make favorable judgements about either his motives, or his ability to responsibly mitigating risk.

I'm sorry if you believe any of that to be ad hominem, but it just isn't.

> Usernames may have a high correlation with passwords and thus are useful.

And that's precisely why the likelihood of collateral damage stemming directly from his actions is much higher than it should reasonably be in this instance.

At some point what you're giving up to further research isn't worth the tradeoff. He's selling innocent bystanders up the river to further his own cause, with little evidence that he's done everything possible to limit collateral damage.

I don't understand why this line of thinking is a hard sell here.

When a government or corporation releases lightly-redacted, personally-identifying information about people, the outcry is (rightly) massive. White knight does it and, well, to question his motives is ad hominem?

Really?

How Much Faster Is HTTP/2 with Server Side Push? (spoiler: A Lot)
I've been having similar issues and thoughts. I'm not a greybeard by any reasonable measure, having started using Slackware in '99-'00, quickly switched to Debian, and never looked back.

I think it all stems from D-Bus, which has become the primary mechanism of command and control on desktop Linux. To address the OP's initial issue of user mounting disks, it's managed via Udisks, which is mostly accessible via D-Bus.

I have trouble reconciling Unix's notion of "everything is a file" and how a modern Linux desktop operates via D-Bus. Don't get me wrong, I think D-Bus very powerful and flexible. I just wish it was easier to explore and test via file-based tools. Maybe a FUSE layer?

Anyhow, if the OP thinks that Linux was once "clean, logical, well put-together, and organized", I can only laugh at his rose-colored glasses. Linux is and always was a cobbled-together mess of orthogonal paradigms (no better illustrated than by the design philosophy clash of XWindows vs Unix). Maybe earlier Linux was simpler because it was still playing catch-up with other Unix clones out there. Nowadays it's leading the pack in innovation, and so things are changing, and fast. I don't know if documentation really is worse now that it used to be, I'm afraid to fall in the same nostalgia fallacy.

Ultimately, I see this rant as nothing other than "things are different now and I'm scared and confused". Not that I don't sympathize, being in roughly the same place. However, I decided I can't stop technology, and sucked it up and sharpened my google-fu.

Debian unstable pretty much is a stable rolling release. Don't let the "unstable" tag fool you, stability is a relative term. The author was describing a community problem, not a methodological one. It could also be a technical one, Linux seems to have gotten an order of magnitude more complex in recent years, whereas user patience has similarly fallen. It's easy to imagine that people with the kinds of problems described just dealing with it rather than troubleshooting and sharing what they learned.
Only the framing is binary. The PDUs are actually still plain text and 95% (perhaps more) of the semantics of HTTP/1.1 have been retained. Just pointing it out because your comment makes it sound like HTTP/2 is completely binary.

Also, how is HTTP/2 more bloated than HTTP/1.1? It simply adds a little framing; most of the bloat of HTTP/1.1 is retained. And as others have pointed out, HTTP/1.1 is hardly 'simple'.

Somebody on the IETF HTTP WG mailing list (may have been PHK himself) pointed out that their server (Varnish?) spends something like 30% of its CPU time parsing/processing just the Date header because it's in plain text. Plain text is not a panacea. We have nice tools like Wireshark these days which make it much easier for humans to read both binary and plain text protocols.

* General relativity describe the universe's dynamics quite accurately, been around for almost a century
* Dark matter has been around for 80 years (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_matter)
* Dark energy was discovered in the 1990's (super cool, but current measurements put it in the vanilla category).
* ns != 1 (support for inflation) detected by WMAP, verified by Planck. The idea of inflation comes from the 1980's.

Potentially non politically-correct answer to the article title: maybe it's not Linux who lost its ways, but some old-time users? (who forget the beginner's spirit to look for answers on forums, manuals, to try to understand before casting a judgment)

Linux has always innovated around the paradigms, taking inspiration from everywhere. It was never "clean, logical, well put-together, and organized". It has always been messy, but in a good way.

When I first discovered linux, I had to adapt to all these new things. That was in 1992. When I decided to use again a modern linux distribution on my laptop in 2014, I had to adapt - again. I have no doubt I will have to keep adapting in my lifetime.

The error would be to consider that the "right ways" are fixed, and that innovation should be stopped.

There will be many new things, some will be kept, some will be discarded. Change is the only thing one can constantly bet on.

This article and the press release by Netflix fails to mention anything about their DVD rental service. Since Cuba's current internet infrastructure has not been developed, streaming videos seems a bit premature. Some may dismiss this as a token gesture, but I believe it would be smart for Netflix to expand in Cuba as they did originally in the US.
If you're running an up-to-date GNOME/KDE/etc. desktop, and not running systemd, for better or worse you're using a less-supported configuration. There's going to be other stuff that systemd will break, but in the long run you're better off using the upstream-recommended configuration.

That aside... I think it's pretty clear that modern Linux is not losing its way. If you go back even five years, and complain that your latest pre-release version of Debian won't suspend properly because it needs a password, you'll get laughed at by all the people who try to suspend their laptop and have it crash in some way or another.

We're now in the uncanny valley of software progress. If suspend weren't working, you'd feel hardcore and learn it and deal with it. If it worked perfectly, then you wouldn't think about it. (What was the last time you thought about how OS X or Windows does suspend, or handles permissions on mounted drives, or whatever? When was the last time you read a manpage about launchd or one of its helpers? Hint, the manpages are useless.) If it has almost all the complexity to work perfectly, you get neither of these benefits.

But it would help things immensely if someone were to document all this, from a busy sysadmin's perspective, not from an upstream developer's. There are occasionally manpages, but they're written like git's. Lennart's "systemd for administrators" series is a start, but that's more of a pitch for why you should want to build your new systems on it, and it only covers systemd. Docs on how to figure things out when they go wrong would be most useful.
