> The need for the GNU project and philosophy is still great, I'm not sure there's a need for the Hurd though. We already have a popular, well-supported (by companies and individuals) kernel which is available under the GPL (and another which is available under the BSD licence, which provides useful competition)

In 2017 or 2018 Microsoft releases "Microsoft Linux with containerized Office-by-wine-who-cares-how and selected applications available from the App Store"

Then Microsoft ships another version of Microsoft Linux and breaks user-space, breaks ABI, other libraries, and brings in encryption-which-only-runs-Microsoft-signed-libraries-and-tools and other hassles which is effectively a fork of Linux kernel + most other tools.

Microsoft becomes just like Apple - a leech on GNU and FOSS.

Confusion is total, people are working on "free you see but not free" software. "Well free for me, developer, my employer, not for you user."

I'm going to be a bit blunt maybe, but this is my response to this 'yet another single sign on mechanism' post

- Who is Hoomi, and why should I trust them with credentials for other sites?

- Who is using this already, and why will users trust this? Any big names?

- How long will this project live? How is it funded?

- Do you know that your logo looks way too much like utorrent's, but upsidedown?

- Has this been battle-tested against hackers?

I'm sorry, but i'm not excited.
Well, in this case the age is relevant. I think being able to develop an AI with 14 years is totally exceptional. Congrats and well done!
I work as a messenger and yes - the way to avoid being turned into (the main issue, if you are on the inside of someone who can't see you or someone doesn't signal) is to push in front of and into the flow of traffic. I have no doubt that it is concerning and annoying to drivers, but they have then seen me.
Why is there any connection at all between the aircraft control systems and the public wifi?
> Hmm, I suppose you did not mean this, but I think that mandating a bike rider's license, registration, insurance and annual tax would not help that much to remove problems.

If that means I can use inner-city roads the same ways cars can use them and that I’m not forced onto shoddy bike lanes the width of a towel, I’m happy to get registered, pay insurance etc. I somewhat expect bike insurance to be less expensive than car insurance on account of you being able to do less damage with a bike; similarly, taxes should be lower as even overland bike paths are much cheaper than anything built for cars. Overall, I’m not unhappy about the idea, though.

> Overall, I don't see how bikes could have the exact same rights and obligations as cars, although overall both are vehicles and should be treated as vehicles, equally. Still, you can't ride a bike on an Autobahn, and neither can you drive a tractor. You may or may not be allowed to ride bike on a road that is dedicated to buses, although you may be allowed to ride a bike there. Etc, etc. Bikes cannot and shouldn't have *exact' same rights and obligations as cars.

Of course there was some hyperbole there – I don’t expect to be allowed to drive on a highway, but not because I am a cyclist but because I can’t meet some minimum speed (i.e. the same rules that mean tractors can’t drive there either). However, I don’t see why I can’t drive on an inner-city road among cars which are at most allowed to drive 50 km/h and instead have to stick to a tiny bike lane next to a series of parked cars.

Regarding bus lanes, I am actually not too fond of them being open to cyclists: A single bus being slowed down annoys substantially more people than even a couple cars being slowed down and passing by a stopped bus is a major annoyance and safety issue. There’s some idea that you can promote cycling by giving out these perks (elsewhere, hybrids or electric cars are allowed to use them, too), but overall that shouldn’t be necessary in a healthy climate.
Not really the point (though I agree with you): the grandparent suggested that 80-90% of cyclists follow the rules of the road. The parent (and I) disagree with that; no one's suggesting those people want to get hit or are inattentive, just that they're not abiding by traffic laws.

In fact, it's somewhat telling that most bicycle fatalities don't involve a cyclist doing something stupid: most cyclist law-breaking is done when the cyclist believes it's safe to do so, and they're usually very attentive and aware of their surroundings for the duration. It's when the cyclist is in a normal state, and has no reason to expect a surprise attack-by-car, that the fatalities happen.

(As a pedestrian, I very much sympathize with this. I tend to jaywalk quite often when walking, and when I do, I'm super attentive and ensure it's safe before crossing. It's probably more likely that I'd get hit by a car when I have the right of way than when jaywalking. But I'm still breaking the law, as is the cyclist when he/she runs a stop sign.)

The only (but big) information we missed in 10.9 was the much higher frequency of kernel panics. An immediate review can't unveil such a flaw, so I wouldn't mind if Siracusa made reviews later on.
The population of SF is ~840k.

The SFMTA estimates that 16% of San Francisco residents are "frequent cyclists", defined as cycling two or more days per week.

That means ~135k frequent cyclists.

184:10,000,000 = .0184 per 1,000
10:135,000 = .0741 per 1,000

SF = 4x higher

For SF to be safer than the Netherlands, bike deaths need to pretty much disappear.

I agree. But lights burning out happens, and it's far more dangerous on a bike than on a car -- because a car is likely to have other lights and otherwise be large enough to be easily visible anyway.

What does Hurd do to solve that problem? It has the same licence as Linux, so Microsoft could release 'Microsoft Hurd' in the same way.
Turning like that across the traffic is not allowed in Denmark (and hasn't been for something like 30 years). You have to stop first.

actually the problem comes from the profit seeking companies. The original intention was provide help to the poor people who can't afford it. I remember wikipedia and some other non profit companies were initially interested in providing this for free. As far as I know aircel still provides it for free. It not just in India though many countries like Russia Indonesia also offer something. The situation changes when you have profit seeking companies trying utilise the situation. Cleartrip response exposes this perfectly.
I also really really enjoyed his reviews but his Yosemite review doesn't seem to be as in-depth, and felt like he was brushing over the surface which is understandable given how quickly people want reviews after launch. Still, it felt different to the previous ones. Still informative, just different.

A shame that he is no longer reviewing them but thanks to him for all the other reviews. Incredibly informative! And I will be waiting to see what changes Apple make to HFS+ after his in-depth overview of the state of the filesystem in the Lion review.
To build this at the authors age is very impressive.

I find it interesting to see how the youths of today embrace programming. Knowing the authors age adds value to the post IMO.
Sure, and there's a point where "I didn't see you" means "I was negligent and not paying attention" rather than "You weren't visible". I'm not saying that motorists have no responsibility to look for bicycles; rather, that there is a shared responsibility: Motorists should look for bicycles, and cyclists should ensure that, if looked for, they will be seen.
The bot is being sarcastic with me:

"The technology that was used for writing me is a fascinating topic which is relevant to whats available to learn on the Wikipedia article about Australia (redirect from Technology in Australia)."

Sending someone to Australia like that... Sheeesh! I am glad it didn't send me to another hot place with lava and tridents and all of that. :)
Interesting fact about those cyclist deaths: more than half were 70 years of age or older.
I'd claim that cyclists tend behave a lot more like other motorists than like pedestrians The speed difference between a cyclists and a pedestrian is usually bigger than that between a car and a cyclists, at least in urban traffic. Pedestrians can be very unpredictable and they don't tend to signal very clearly what they are about to do, not to mention that a pedestrian can stop or turn around pretty much instantly.

The optimal solution is of course to build dedicated bike lanes, but if that's not a option I'd rather ride my bike on the road with other cars, than on a shared path with pedestrians. It's also a matter of attitude, roads are built to allow cars to travel between point A and point B as fast as possible. If cycling is to be seen as a form of transportation they also need to have access to proper infrastructure.
Nice GUI but it doesn't actually work
Actually, I was being stupid. I just realized how they do it. The FB app has access to the contacts of every person who has me in their contact list. So basically without me ever giving them the info they know everyone I ever spoke to on the phone.

It's a brave new world.
Good idea.

It will probably take a month for us to determine our velocity, then we can predictably dish out points.
I have too. After I moved to containers, the hosts themselves are so simple now. In fact, I just have a VM image I use for hosts, and then the devs make the container images running on them.
> Young people say this a lot, but I don't hear people in their 80s say it.

When you are young those five years don't look that attractive: you are older, slower, half your friends and family are gone, you might not have any money to support the life you want depending how the economy goes, and so forth - so having a bit more fun now seems like a good compromise. Once you get older then you realise that any time is worth having as there are still more things you want to do and more time you want to spend with people than you might have time for left.

Of course having too much "fun" now means that your old decrepit years come sooner because your body will fall apart faster, so that really isn't the good compromise is might seem to some - you start paying in good years as well as the later ones you might be dreading at this point in your life.

To be far far more flippant about it, my reasoning up to a few years ago was:

"My main worry is being able to afford to live a content life beyond a certain point so my current pension plan is to not live long enough to need a good pension. Hence my drinking habit: I'm investing heavily in cirrhosis futures!"

Having started to see some of my older friends in bad conditions, various people in my life having less serious but still significant health scares, I changed my mind about that quite a bit. Had I not decided to shape up back then, an old friend my own age (mid 30s) shuffle off to the crematorium rather prematurely recently might have made me do it. I might not care about those last few years in my 80s now, but I certainly care about hanging around for a good few years yet. I've got places to see and people to do!
I have a real automatic coffee machine and a professional level manual one at work, and I find Nespresso pretty good. I can't remember the name but my favourite flavour is in a pale gold capsule.

Yes, this is probably the root cause. I guess fundamentally we can never get predictable if we don't schedule work.
In France, in case of an accident between a car and a "non-car" (be it a cyclist, pedestrian, skater...), the car is considered responsible by default. Of course they will be a police investigation, but if the police can find any evidence of the "non-car" fault, the car is considered faulty.
Spent 10 minutes chatting with it. This is really good work. Keep it up :)

My basic strategy is to wait until at least half of the sidewalk is open before passing any pedestrians. I have no problem coasting at pedestrian speed until I have a passing opportunity. It still beats walking.
Or it shows the decline of OS X (it's horrendous for me). Or maybe a bit of both.
At first glance, I don't see that m4 does anything jinja2 (Ansible's templating system) doesn't do better.
probably 90% of the time, the cyclist is at fault

probably 80 or 90% of cyclists are responsible and law abiding. There are maybe 10 or 20 percent who are bad, run red lights and do other crazy shit

Just to be clear, your statistics don't actually disagree with each other. It's entirely possible -- I'd even say likely -- that the 10 or 20 percent of cyclists who "do crazy shit" are involved in and responsible for 90% of bicycle-involved accidents.
I would guess that would be a response to a question you asked. Nobody that's going to be offended would be asking those questions in the first place.
Is 'dev' a gender now?
Ideally yes. I would counter with no, however: regardless of if it’s true or not, the click-bait is working wonderfully.
I'm wondering about a possible execution mode for Ansible where instead of connecting via SSH and uploading/running each task, you dump each task in a shared volume and run them in a container with docker exec. Then you can commit the final result to an image.

The article says "Deasy had said the technology effort was a civil rights imperative designed to provide low-income students with devices available to their wealthier peers." It's easy for you and me to assume that every man, woman, and child in America has easy access to the web, but it's not necessarily so. Giving a tablet to every single student does seem like a reasonable way to level the playing field. In theory, it would be more portable, simpler to use and maintain, and less abusable than, say, a laptop.

It's unfortunate that things broke down along the way. This could have been a really good idea, if it was implemented properly.
Not sure that makes sense in this context, or even reflects actual traffic law. A pedestrian is easily more maneuverable than a car (I can turn on a dime when walking, but a car needs much more time and space), but the car should never have automatic right-of-way over a pedestrian.
Sounds like you will like what we are developing over at Konjekt :) We are basically trying to solve exactly what you are describing, and some more, by making a new kind of search tool. We feel exactly the same way as you do, but maybe with more fury? (PS: Please don't judge us by the current website. It has in no way been our priority lately)

Oh come on. Generating graphs of the rocket's vertical position and angular deflection from vertical over time, using a video analysis and physics modeling package, is not analysis? Sure, having the actual telemetry data from the rocket would be better, but suppose you were a competitor to SpaceX and wanted to understand what their capabilities were and whether this approach is feasible, this is exactly the sort of investigation you'd want to do.
I should probably couch this in the caveat that I am using Packer and Terraform to control the infrastructure itself :)

So machines are effectively configured "offline", tested, and replaced. It's not enough though (usual things like databases and development tweaks like config changes are problematic) so I'm back into the world of config management to see how it can help.

Matt makes some good points, and we broadly agree on controlling infrastructure, I just think that most of the CM systems are inadequate abstractions - they don't go far enough, and it leaves them largely as convenience wrappers around shell, but ironically enough, usually without the debuggability of shell.

I've worked with Chef for years, and recently have started seeing what I can do with Ansible. For me, the major thing in Chef's favour was the combination of attribute driven configuration and integration with things like Test Kitchen and ServerSpec.

Chef requries buy in to the ruby ecosystem though, and that's just not something I want to expose non-ruby developers to (it's just too brittle), which is why I'm exploring Ansible. What I'm finding, though, is that for any reasonably interesting tasks, I'm still forced to execute "command" strings, which is not an improvement over shell, and gives people the false impression that it's idempotent (or even just safer).

Also most of these systems are trying to upsell me a centralized management system and UI, handing over the keys to my infrastructure, which is just not something I'm willing to do.

Edit: I'd also add that cross-OS portability of CM (if that's what you're referring to), in my experience, a bit of a red herring.
I've seen a few comments here using the example of "I see cycle couriers doing X, therefore cyclists are at fault". It's worth being cautious trying to learn much from the example of cycle couriers: they're disproportionately visible members of the cycling population, they spend all their working days on bikes so they're disproportionately good at it and very confident in their skills, added to which they are stereotypically young, male, and have a strong financial incentive to bend the rules to get wherever they're going quickly.

In my experience, windows often does not show any results at all (wind 8.1), and the search is slow. When results show up, they are of varying quality, often not containing what you are after. And don't get me started on the indexing process which seems to be grinding way too often and for too long.
That's a fair point. On the other hand, keep in mind that the corollary of "law on mass surveillance purpose-built to legalize existing practices" is that French citizens are already "benefiting" from secret mass surveillance (emphasis on secret). Unfortunately, it is extremely difficult to prove or disprove the existence of a similar effort in Poland. Whether the population agrees or not is irrelevant if elected officials conspire to keep them in the dark about it because security.
Was always in awe of Borg and Omega while at Google. Really nice to see them finally publish a paper on this. Guess they've more far enough along now that it makes sense to do so.

Allowing a drop or two of coffee to escape early to the cup massively outweighs the risks of using very hot water to give something a very high centre of gravity.
How, pray tell, am I supposed to avoid hitting invisible cyclists?

You're not. In your example with the cyclist with a burnt-out light, dark clothing, and dark night, if you had hit him, I would very clearly assert that the cyclist was at fault.

I'm fine with requiring cyclists to have front and rear lights in the dark and/or rain (hell, this is already required of cars), but requiring clothing with reflective paint on top of that? It's a bit ridiculous, IMO. Lights are more than sufficient to make a cyclist visible, the rest of the burden should be on drivers to actually pay attention to what they're doing

Causality often gets confused particularly by the time the results make it to the popular press. Studies of alcohol intake against mortality often show the effect. Scientists find drinkers drop dead slower than non drinkers, the the newspaper reports it as a glass of wine a day protects your health.
