> its not compatible with BASH's shell scripting, which means you often cant just run shell scripts written by others, you may have to reformat it a little first.

What exactly do you mean by “Shell scripts”? If the script contains a proper Shebang you can easily run it via `./script.sh`. If not you use: `bash ./script.sh`.
Right, the hypothetical tiny Linux kernel would probably be built without driver support and have NetBSD's rump kernel drivers in place of both Hurd's DDE and the monolithic Linux drivers, which keeps the userspace advantage.

It's true that a Mach port is quite tricky (particularly the virtual memory semantics).

Apparently there was an old abandoned attempt to port Mach on top of POSIX, which if someone obtains the source, might be a useful reference to see what went wrong or is incomplete [1].

It's worth noting that the reverse (Linux on top of Mach) was already done by Apple nearly a couple of decades ago as MkLinux, but they ultimately settled on XNU.

So, even if you have nothing to hide, you still have things to fear.
Exactly. It's an outrage machine, people who participate mostly want to get their daily fix of feeling that they're fighting for a good cause - and if you lay low for a few days or a couple of weeks, few if any will be persistent enough to bug you after that, as the focus will shift elsewhere.

You may or may not want to issue a polite and carefully-worded statement, but don't cave in - something like "we've heard you and understand your position, thanks for letting us know".

It might be different when the issue is used in intra-project political fight (like two companies competing for control over the project), but for your average Twitter raid that should be enough.

Do not engage further, do not fight them, they are just self-righteous trolls - so, just don't feed them.
Motorola's semiconductor division was pretty much skipped from this story, their success in this area wasn't relevant to the "how they didn't make the iPhone" angle.

Moto didn't make the 6502, but they made the 68000 line (original Mac series) and then created PowerPC in a joint venture with IBM.

Semiconductors were spun off in 2004 to become Freescale, which is now owned by NXP (Philips).
This sure smells fishy...

If you're running an open source project and users are pouring into the cracks to say that they don't like something, it's an obvious sign of what they want. Open-source is supposed to be about the community, maybe you should try listening harder to them.

Users aren't just sheep that use your product, they're an integral part of the entire process, equal in value to the developers.

edit: Who woulda thought that HN devs didn't give a shit about users? As if we didn't know that already...

Isn't detaching from emotions just what people do when they are in meditation, as taught by e.g. Buddhists? That does not seem unhealthy to me.
He probably means that it's not backwards compatible with bash, so you have to make it a fish script to run it as fish script.
You are correct; any evidence that negates a particular truth claim would be the presence of evidence not the absence of evidence.

And so the tautological saying, 'the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence' still stands unassailed.
In the sense of whether it is everything ever launched . . . not even close. It might be an accurate representation of those probes that are still active and in contact with Earth.

My impression is that they take in ocean water that then evaporates as the source of water. This means a very stable humidity, in addition to stable temperature, essentially for free.

Also, the oceans absorb most of the CO2 emitted by various processes, so if you evaporate it I would guess it comes back out into the air.

I got interviewed once by Amazon. Basically, they wanted me to do consulting with all the negative sides of it minus the major positive one - the pay. I had a friend who quit Amazon and he told me that backstabbing was actually encouraged there, which makes it a hostile and carcinogenic working environment.
You don't want to work for Amazon. All the feedback I have from the place is that it's awful.

I honestly don't know how they retain good engineers.
Looks like the current Australian and Canadian governments (Harper) want to fall into the extraction-economy trap and giving incentive to clever people to move elsewhere. Sad.

It makes some twisted sense though: What's a good position to be in, if you're a ruler?

Answer: You don't have an educated populace that might displace you or call you on your BS, and you don't need one because your economy exists upon extracting natural resources and only doing basic processing on them before export.

I'm thinking that they've done this because although the government has been trying to abolish the CEFC and failed every time, they've now realised (thanks to the worryingly anti-renewable duo of Bob Day and David Leyonhjelm) that they can just start telling the CEFC to stop investing in things they don't want it investing in.

Of course, Australia's current energy policy is so misinformed it's not funny. There is a general perception amongst the more conservative side of politics that renewables will indefinitely require heavy subsidies, that India and China will be an inexhaustible coal market and that the use of wind and solar energy will have unintended consequences (be it health or economic). I'd think that all three of those perceptions are mostly false.

Thinking About Goals Isn't Enough
It seems a lot of people don't realize `bash`, `sh`, `zsh` etc... are executable binaries just like any other on the system, and that you don't need to be logged in to a bash shell to run bash scripts.
Well, I see a problem with your approach (and Greene's approach) here, which is that science doesn't give you a "should", at least not in a general sense. Science only helps us understand facts and processes.

If you have a goal you want to achieve, science can often tell you how to achieve that goal, that is, science can tell you what you "should" do, if you have a goal. And sometimes science can help you guess what your goals might be (because people often have similar goals).

This gives us some insight into these questions. We can ask, what's your goal?:

> "If science tells me that I love my children more than other children only because they share my genes (Hamilton, 1964), should I feel uneasy about loving them extra?"

This depends on what your goal is. Evolutionary theory tells us that most people want their offspring to survive and reproduce, and have no such goal for the survival of other people. So if that's your goal, then you should love them extra. If that's not your goal (and for some small percentage of the population it won't be) that doesn't give you any imperative, so there's no basis for saying that you should or shouldn't feel anything about your kids.

> "If science tells me that I’m nice to other people only because a disposition to be nice ultimately helped my ancestors spread their genes (Trivers, 1971), should I stop being nice to people?"

Again, this fact only gives you an imperative if it relates to your goals. If your goal is to spread your genes, then you should be nice to people. If that's not your goal, then Trivers' research doesn't provide any guidance as to what you should or shouldn't do.

It's worth noting that there are plenty of other goals for which science might tell you that you should love your children or be nice to people. Is your goal to have someone take care of you when you're old? Then you should love your children. Is your goal to have a successful career and make lots of money? Then you should be nice to people.

The most interesting part of this, to me, is that it forces us to take responsibility for our ethics. Within this framework, when you tell someone that what they are doing is wrong, you're telling them that it doesn't fit with your goals. When a society makes laws against behaviors, they're declaring that those behaviors don't fit with the shared goals of the members of the society.

That doesn't mean that there is no basis for forcing one's ethics on others--often one's goals require it. For example, it is my goal to live an adequately long, healthy, and productive, so I have no qualms forcing my ethic of "do not murder" on other people. And most people share that goal, which is why murder is illegal everywhere I know of.

There are a lot of different directions to explore this idea. The core, though, is simply that there's no "should" without a goal.

No, you don't have to use TypeScript, the angular dev team has been clear on this. You don't have to use atscript either. That said, typescript is pretty slick, and is essentially ES6+, I'd recommend giving it a shot before dismissing it.
I didn't know you wrote Ansible, but I just want to say that it is really great. Love that it can be bootstrapped from nothing and that you can bring up another machine that is identical to what you currently have with just a few lines of code.

To not derail this entirely they say that there are two kinds of languages, those nobody use and those people complain about - that is also true of projects in general, so while it may not feel that way people complain because they care (maybe too much and maybe about the wrong things).
Yeah, I keep seeing this complaint come up. Interesting that so many people don't realize you can run bash scripts from another shell without fanfare.
It would interesting to see if large-scale production would be feasible. Backyard farms are great, but it's only with the economies of scale that farming makes any sense commercially.

So could there be an undersea farm, with living quarters, hundreds of acres of plants, a system for conserving and recycling the soil, and protection from storms?

It's not a crazy idea. If you could move farming into shallow ocean waters, you'd free up a lot of land. Just guessing, but you also might have natural protection from cosmic events like CMEs. It bears watching.

The problem is that some scripts are written to be `source`d.
On the other hand, forking is completely legit. It happened already in the past and will happen in the future, for major disagreements. Open source mantainers don't owe it to the community, if the community ultimately does not behave.
Thanks, Ryan. Despite the fairly negative nature (calling it "click bait") of my prior request, you took it for its objective value. That was pretty big of you.

I'm actually not surprised. I've always had the impression that Australia is rather conservative and backward looking. Not that their treatment of refugees, or, on the other hand, the pathetic incident like the recent one with Johnny Depp, are the norme these days, but the fact that australia is becoming the favorite destination for right wing Americans disappointed with recent gay marriage ruling,that speaks volumes.

If you knew Python you'd know exactly what that means. But zokier is right, a map is probably a better choice here.

No stats that I'm aware of. My observation is that people generally imagine disaster scenarios that do not come to pass when it comes to large traffic changes. Two short anecdotes to support the observation.

1) My wife and I visited Ireland for a vacation a few years back. Neither she nor I had driven on the left side previously. We drove around the southwest of Ireland for a week and a half w/o incident. Driving on the left side wasn't really a big issue. Pulling away from the curb was the biggest challenge, but it became "natural" after a day or so.

It was much more difficult navigating very narrow roads with (it seemed) mere inches from a stone wall on the left and oncoming traffic on the right.

Our situation was helped quite a bit by our familiarity with driving standard and familiarity with circulars (rotaries). Either of those factors would have made the situation much more difficult if we weren't.

2) Two years ago, several key roads in downtown Providence, RI (a state in the US) were switched from one to two-way. Everyone predicted a large increase in accidents. I'm unaware of any increase in accidents to date. Our largest traffic problems continue to be caused by road construction sites with poor signs, RI's overall inability to communicate effectively with signs, and college students from non-urban areas who walk into the street w/o looking and under the assumption that cars will just stop.

Despite my skepticism of a switch to right side driving being a big issue, I fear that we won't see it any sooner than we will see the US finally switch to the metric system.
I don't think I've ever read a positive piece of news from Australia regarding technology, Internet, law or (green) energy. Is the government there really as backwards thinking as it's portrayed? Most aussies I've talked to have seemed pretty liberal (but then again, they were also traveling abroad)
Depression Quest – a text-based game
I get that it didn't come across well, but I wasn't saying "whatever Donald Trump does in a campaign speech is good enough for me," I was saying, "this seems to be a defining characteristic of our political discourse, I get finding it distasteful all-caps yelling about it seems like an over-reaction." I stand by that. Down-vote all you want.
I generally don't like to bash anyone, but I had the same experience. ng-book, at least the edition I bought, was poorly organized and confusing. There were frequent references to concepts not yet explained. Often, it simply listed documentation of all of the available options on an API, rather than build up from the basic principles and then explain the variations. It felt confused as to whether it was a reference book or a guide.
You can actually change the server in a hidden preferences page. Go to /html/preferences.html in the extension.
I originally bought ng-book and it was awesome. Detailed explanations with important notices about best and harmful practices. It contains much more information than official documentation and gives better understanding of how AngularJS work under the hood.

ng-book last update was to version 1.4, so all promises of authors have been fulfilled - that's why I trust authors again and why I bought ng-book 2. I'm not affiliated to authors.

"Oh, you mean like Emacs."

No I mean like... surveys the market... nearly everything else. The LISP field is almost non-existent outside of academia and a few companies. Almost nothing mainstream in proprietary or FOSS is built with it. Plus, most programmers hate it. So, using something like in a FOSS app intended to go mainstream is quite a risk.

"Besides, Guile Scheme is the designated extension language of the GNU system."

Oh Ok. That they're pushing people to use an unpopular language at least explains why the apps you cited used it.

" In the GNU system Guile Scheme is "mainstream"."

Nah, most programmers haven't heard of it. Of those that have, I'd bank on only a subset even using it. I'd say it's used by a tiny set of developers, esp extension builders. And for tools who mostly each represent a small amount of developers or users.

You're really making my point for me by redefining the word mainstream to be "barely known software barely making it with a few exceptions." They should consider something that actually is mainstream as an experiment in increasing adoption. Probably some other things to reconsider while they're at it.
I have several bash functions that need to be sourced to be included. For instance, I use `cdc` to change to my code directory, where I keep my source for projects I am working on. If I type `cdc name` it changes it to my projects source directory, save me a lot of keystrokes in a day as I have many that I flip between. This sourcing of a function is required due to the way cd is handled, and in it's current form, not directly usable under fish. Maybe it's easier under fish, but fish isn't backwards compatible to make this work out of the box.
Yeah, our largest costs are:
- a primary server running on AWS
- a read-only replica running on google compute engine.
Other smaller costs include networking, DNS, and various tax/administrative/regulatory fees
The last part of this sentence has a false premise. You do have plenty to fear, because any government has made errors in their judgments many times before. In fact, any lawsuit brought against GOV that has been won, as well as any won appeal, is indeed a living proof government makes mistakes as well.

Ergo, it is not that I shouldn't have anything to hide because I shouldn't fear the government, it is rather that I fear that the government can misinterpret whatever it is that I'am hiding. (I strongly suggest watching movie "Brasil").

Government, after all, is about masses and implementing rules "for all", not "for individuals". A simple example is me being a long term photographer. I enjoy indoor photos. How the light is formed, aperture used, shots being taken, angles, etc. I browse Anne Geddes photos of almost naked children on secure Tor from a local starbucks on a Wifi dongle that I don't use for anything else (public wifis collect and store MAC data) not because I'm a pedophile (something Gov can assume), but rather because I have no idea how Gov could stretch this information, and I am unsure if I could be financially able to pick up my lawyers tab to get a chance to prove to the judge few months into the lawsuit that I am actually a long-term photographer hobbyist, no some twisted kiddie pron lover.

My second answer to this is a "gimme your password" test. Just few weeks ago I was pulled over in a shady neighborhood because my friend is broke and cannot afford anything better. The cop immediately wanted to search my car. I responded I have nothing to hide here. He replied "well, in this case if you have nothing to hide, then you shouldn't have anything against my search, Sir". To what I reached out for a pen and my notepad, opened it on an empty page and handed it to the police officer. He asked me "what is this?". I said: "kindly please give me your email address and password to it". He didn't laugh but clearly didn't want to get suck in. I quickly added: "I mean after all, if you have nothing to hide in your mailbox, then you shouldn't be concerned of me having access it, do you?". He responded "have a good day" and let me on my way.
