Buses haven't caused that many deaths either.

It really is just the HGV, and the construction industry related HGV at that.

"You should"... well I and very many others are. However the essence of the issue appears to come down to a mix of the economics of being a HGV driver, local politics, and the nature of congestion and traffic in an old city.

The economics is that HGV drivers are paid by the job. They are effectively incentivised to complete a job as fast as possible to increase their earnings. Being paid to go faster isn't very compatible with driving safer.

The politics is a blend of TfL (Transport for London) not having the authority to re-design many junctions, local councils wishing to maximise traffic flow, and residents not wishing to tolerate construction traffic outside of work hours. This means that construction traffic can only operate during the work day (when it's most congested), on roads that were not designed for such a volume of HGV traffic, with junctions not designed for cyclist safety or space. A very recent HGV fatality is directly contributable to Westminster Council refusing to implement recommendations by TfL to make a junction next to a bridge safer... this was last week, you'll find the info online easily enough.

The last point relates to the city itself. You'll see from other comments that the best thing to do is to segregate cyclists from the motorised traffic, but that requires space. London is an old city and we cannot move buildings and streets to accommodate this segregation outside of more than a handful of wide boulevards and roads (such as the Embankment where it is being done). We can only achieve segregation by turning 2-way streets into 1-way streets (as is being done on Tottenham Court Road), but even then that adds pressure to surrounding roads. There are limits to what can be done to provide extra space and re-designs to existing junctions and roads.

Possibly the best thing is the cross-London move to a 20mph speed limit.

But the biggest remaining thing that could be done might be to change the economics of the construction industry in London. Perhaps just place an outright ban on HGVs that do not meet some strict requirement for operating in such a busy metropolis. Perhaps just change the status of road fatalities by HGVs such that they are considered a Health and Safety issue of the work-site that the work is being done for... i.e. if the victim's family can sue the construction site for death then perhaps that will change the job incentives enough to bring in safety features, etc.

But yeah, we are on it.
I think you're looking on their writing favourably.

* Because jinja2 is overall a better templating language.

* YAML (not turing complete) + templating = readable and clear (this is how ansible does it).

Germany passed a law intending to make Google pay for using news snippets.

Google simply stopped including snippets from german newspapers.

German newspapers reluctantly gave an exemption to Google so that it would publish snippets from their websites again.

What more evidence do you need? Perhaps only a letter written in blood and signed "give us an exemption or else" accompanied with a horse head would convince you about Google's negotiation tactics here?

This is almost 100% about Pearson. The article even has this gem buried toward the end:

Although the threatened legal action applies to Apple and Pearson, the district also sent letters Tuesday to two other companies: Lenovo, a device maker, and Arey Jones, a computer distributor. These companies also have included the Pearson product on some devices purchased by L.A. Unified.

So, they had problems with non-Apple devices as well?

There's also this statement:

Pearson could offer only a partial curriculum during the first year of the license, which was permitted under the agreement. Teachers and principals never widely embraced the product.

Okay, so the product they bought wasn't embraced. And there aren't any real reasons given other than a vague: “Any given class typically experiences one problem or more daily."

What does that even mean?
Not really the point, I don't think. I expect to be safe from vehicles walking on a sidewalk, period (that's the point of sidewalks). People in/on vehicles, whether cars or bicycles, are taking on much more risk, at their choice.

The real solution is to separate cars and bikes, just like we separate cars and people. Dedicated, buffered bike lanes and safer intersections.

I've sadly learned that given enough time, you'll likely end up mostly using your own set of private cookbooks, even for configuring things community cookbooks already exist for. The quality of the community cookbooks varies wildly from "pretty good" to "toxic waste," and the likelihood of getting fixes upstream fast enough to reflect back into one's own environment is generally low, even for good maintainers.

And Chef's strict adherence to X.Y.Z semver for cookbooks (even though cookbooks don't fit semver well) and inability to declare "my cookbook foo_prime can be used whenever cookbook foo is called" makes it near impossible to maintain your own branch while you wait for your fixes to make it
upstream.

This makes it difficult to try to get things done when you encounter a cookbook that just doesn't work quite right. The cookbook ecosystem is not yet mature enough at this point in time to rely on.

Spotlight stolen from BeOS? LaunchBar which goes back to the NeXT days has the basic Spotlight features and more. While it's not a NeXT company product, it was a third-party product for their OS. I'd say it's more likely they borrowed ideas from it, if anything. But given they had Sherlock (where the initial version predates OS X), I'd say it was initially more of a re-imagining of Sherlock.

I wonder why still so many people fall for the bullshit around GNU.

You can turn off the kernel needing signed kernel extensions. It is a big annoyance - so much is true. You don't tell the reason why Apple is doing it - Security. That's the reason why Linux is also adopting it [1]. You do this to put Apple as the big evil in contrast to our saviour GNU (and RMS is Jesus or what?). But the thing is that you don't need GNU for a system with free software. Nobody needs Hurd when we have Linux. We also don't need GCC anymore as we have LLVM+Clang. The GNU project doesn't like that as they're becoming less and less needed.

Oh, true, and I didn't mean that as a criticism of pkg-config; they only did that because it was literally the only option. In general you should only duplicate actual code if it's the only option, was my point; pkg-config is the pattern and gnulib is the anti-pattern in that.
Precisely. Looks like a classic control oscillation, possibly due to lag in the system. There are only a zillion ways to handle this sort of thing as it's an enormously common case.

While it's true that this is the modern interpretation of what physics is, I'm not sure if that always was the case. It might be precisely these repeated breakthroughs (and I'd guess relativity and quantum mechanics especially) that are the cause of this attitude.

I recall being taught by my physics professor that Galileo never actually dropped two lead balls to test his theory - he reasoned that "heavier objects fall faster" made no sense because it implies that connecting two objects would make both fall faster.

How difficult would it be to keep statistics for each page (in a separate "process" inside the CPU), and swap out pages according to these statistics? (Thus on every read and write operation, the page number would be streamed to a bookkeeper circuit.)

Alternatively, could malloc be given an extra parameter: the "priority" of the page the block will be allocated in. For example malloc(100, 1) would allocate a block of 100 bytes inside a priority-1 page. (Thus the OS would know the priority of each page, and swap them out accordingly; the heap allocator would assign these numbers).

Would this solve something?
There's quite a big gap between "some bits have been removed or replaced" and "the brain is the only bit that can't be replaced" without changing who the person is.

The nervous system (of which the brain is but a part) is quite a large and complex thing, and there is no guarantee that one's conscious being is tied to that set of neurons in one's head and not, for example, to the extended set below the neck. There's evidence that certain functions are performed mostly or wholly within the brain, but no evidence of consciousness, which is what I think you mean by "changing who the person is".

Heart? Liver? Kidneys? Thyroid and appendix and gallbladders? They ain't got nothin' on the nervous system when it comes to me.

Linux has plenty of issues. It's more modular than it was it's a source-level monolith which means very poor support for old drivers that weren't merged into the tree for whatever reason. The recent tight coupling to systemd is making it much more so.

The HURD design was always more elegant, and should result in a more stable and secure system. That's absolutely a project worth pursuing.

That seems difficult for a sedentary adult living in suburban America who drives their car to work and sits at a desk all day, but for cultures that do more walking - ie in cities that are more laid out for walking and public transportation - an hour of walking per day is almost an afterthought. In Dubrovnik, Croatia, for instance, a small city largely built on the side of a mountain (https://moremojitosplease.wordpress.com/2012/06/25/dubrovnik...), I've never done so much cardiovascular exercise inadvertently just by living there for a week. I also noticed that very few people, if any, were overweight. In fact most cities I've been to in Europe seem to be quite good for walking. The ramifications of this study should certainly be factored in to city planning.
I never understood that. Under semver 0.6.0 → 0.7.0 has exactly the same semantics as 0.6.0 → 0.6.1 (because MAJOR==0). So why insist on the extra number?
Number26 Grabs $10.6M to Bring the Bank of the Future to Everyone
I've +1'd because while I disagree, yours is a reasonable opinion that's provoking a useful discussion, and I think the downvotes you're getting are not appropriate.

The problem with aiming for success from the start is that it promotes a highly conservative, over-engineered solution. If it does work, it also acts as a brake on iterative improvement because your system already works, why risk failure by trying to make it more optimal? Also if you have a proven system, people start making bigger and bigger bets on it's success (more expensive payloads, for example), so the cost of any failure goes up.

If you aim for optimal design form the start, you're almost bound to experience failures. That's because say there are 100 parameters you need to tone and you aim for the estimated optimum for all of them. Statistically, half of those estimates are goign to turn out to be sub-optimal. As you iterate on the design, you fix those untill you end up with a truly optimal design. At each iteration, you have a positive incentive to make the necessary changes.

Depending on the cost of failure, this can be more expensive than aiming for a conservative, over-engineered design to start with, but not necessarily. Over-engineered systems, for a high chance of initial success, are by definition more costly than optimised designs and there's still a non-zero chance of initial failures anyway.
I really don't mind these apparent (small) improvements to Python.

However, the fact that Python 3 just went off and did it's own things rather than the usual cycle of:

1) improve a language feature
2) deprecate the old way of doing it
3) give people time to update code (usually a couple of point releases)
4) remove features that have been replaced

Python 3 should not have dropped lots of little changes with no backwards compatibility. They should still make 2.8 and 2.9 that are releases that remove features and add new ones until most python code works in Python 3.
You could try writing a FaceTime dara packet wrapper/unwrapper, which packs your application data into FaceTime video/audio packets, and unpacks it at the receiving end. If the carriers shape FaceTime traffic differently, it should be possible to establish whether this is the case, by emulating a FaceTime connection, as far as I can see. The content is encrypted, so I don't think they can shape traffic based on anything else than headers.

I agree that having standards and best practices is a boon, especially if they can be packaged up in an easy to use way. Like anything, Chef brings its own set of idiosyncrasies to the table. However, I don't like how it brings all of Ruby's idiosyncrasies along for the ride too.

If you're not immediately comfortable and familiar with both ruby and the quirks of its ecosystem, you end up investing a lot of time into getting a development environment up and running (and having it reproducible by other members of your team).

Most infrastructure tools, if they're any use, are rapidly evolving. Conway's law applies here, and the maintainability of Chef mirrors that of its ruby ecosystem roots - people tend to freeze dependencies rather than upgrade. That's an antipattern we don't need in infrastructure.

Honestly I just think we can do better. For me, I'm not sure (read: I really don't know, I'm not being facetious) the costs outweigh the benefits, but for someone totally new, perhaps it helps them get stuff done faster.

I'm not sure either applied, as least from the four or five reviews that I read in great depth. His reviews were opinionated, and touched on themes that he though were important - but by and large weren't overly detailed or comprehensive. He sought to capture the overall arc of the growth of OS X, rather than regurgitate every new feature.
Since these structures are disposable (generally non-reusable), I guess what is needed is a cheap way to print them.
I'm pretty sure Hurd development is still limping along because individuals are interested in working on it, not because GNU is allocating resources that would otherwise be devoted to Linux.
Grasshopper was able to hover, or even perform a powered descent and was probably lighter than an F9 first stage, so I don't think this can't be it. They likely do have an engine configuration capable fo a lower minimum thrust, but they're choosing not to use it presumably because it's not optimal for the primary mission, and they believe it's not necessary for the landing.
