Because I don't want to fly that far just to use the bathroom!... joking aside, I think it's the notion of using water that might freak people out.

Mosh: A replacement for SSH
|
My biggest complaint about Mosh is that how it handles the login sequence breaks common .bashrc/.bash_profile idioms liketest -z "$BASHPROFILEREAD" || return(to avoid double-sourcing) and there's no good way to fix them. I haven't tested ksh93/zsh yet, but I suspect similar issues. I suspect the developers do little more with their shell initialization than set a few aliases and variables so it's not an issue for them, but fixing it for myself is far more work than worth it. It's too bad, everything else works well for me with mosh.

A Dutch city is giving money away to test the basic income theory

Quoting a recent article in The Economist (Edited by me)
"
The Swiss will soon vote on a proposal for a basic income of 2,500 francs ($2,700) per month, following the success of a national petition....Turning it into a substitute for all welfare payments would be prohibitively expensive. But it might work as one element of the safety net....Although the basic income has so far failed to take off, it does have a commonplace cousin: the tax-free allowance....It is feasible only if it is small, and complemented by more targeted anti-poverty measures.Basic income: the clue is in the name.

John Carmack's son's game in Racket
|
As someone that volunteer to share computer literacy to kids, I can assure you that kids are underestimated by a big margin. I saw a lot of kids adsorbing concepts more easily than some adults. I'm not obviously talking about Monads; but the concepts are still fundamental to programming. Kids can get sufficient results to do something on their own and to really enjoy it.The thing that I see most, and in this activity, the thing that displease me most is: parents that work as programmers and they pretend that their children must be programmers too. They bring them because they tried in all ways to make them interested and didn't succeed. One parent, a programmer, was worried with the quality of the teaching and wanted to be present a day. After the end of the meeting(I like to call them meeting. Kids see school as prison rather than joy, and I don't want to make them feel uneasy) the programmer seemed pleased of the experience and made a praise about the kids being happy and interested. He told me that he would send his son, in the hope that this time he would listen and asked about the price. I told him the truth and true nature of that meeting: they are all kids that really wanted it: When I am the new batch I usually try to talk of other things and wait something that makes me happy: a kid asking me when we begin. This is the clear sign that there is something in the room that is happy to learn. The programmer looked a bit puzzled and I told him my opinion. Are you sure that this is what your son want? If you imprison your son in something, he will totally hate it, wasting an activity that he could have enjoyed at a later time. I finished the speech saying that I'm doing it for free. My reward is making them have a good time and hopefully, giving them a better future.
Kids in front of other people can have problems and feel anxiety. So, Carmack, I'm worried if having an entry bar of all the Internet watching your son, could be a burden too high. Are we sure that this is what he wants? Is he ready to compete?Kids are precious, they will be the mark of our efforts and their mirror. I think that your son should enjoy as much as he can what he is doing and be kept away from the Internet consumerism for now ...Have a nice day.

Mark Zuckerberg Backs Apple in Its Refusal to Unlock iPhone
|
One of the interesting issues here is that national security depends on the corporation decision and the actually corporation can access the information on the device, but does not want to help the government to protect people from potential terrorist attack. FBI does not ask for backdoor codes and does not ask for breaking encryption and does not ask access to unauthorized info—the phone owner granted the permission. The only thing FBI ask is to not brick the phone and not erase the info while it tries different device locking code combination. There is nothing here that would break privacy or encryption.

The Children's Illustrated Guide to Kubernetes
|
Wonderful illustrations. However, I'm going to dissent on its benefits as a guide. For me, this makes a common mistake in "simplified" technical writing: it assumes you already possess the knowledge that the author does. An example: > Kubernetes uses labels as "nametags" to identify things.
> And it can query based on these labels. Labels are open-
> ended: You can use them to indicate roles, stability, or
> other important attributes.
Using nametags as an analogy is great, but what's the querying for? The image shows a bullet point "Can query based on these labels". What can query, and when does it query? Is it Kubernetes can query, or I can query? Why would I want to query? And what's an example of a role? How does one indicate stability? Is stability labeling when a container has been running unreliably recently, or does stability mean that it's a beta version, or something else? What is an example of an "other important attribute"?And so on... many other knowledge assumptions are made. The primary deficiency is that it doesn't present the story in terms of a problem to be solved. It's a solution presented as if you already know the full context of the problem, which is its achilles heel.I exaggerate a little here, but I'll recap the story with what essentially are the questions I have remaining if I don't make many knowledge assumptions after having read it a few times. I know I can apply my experience to make intelligent assumptions and fill in the gaps, but you did say this was a guide for children, and I don't expect them to have decades of experience. Here's my recap:So some giraffe doesn't like its environment and decides to go floating on an ocean, eventually gets picked up by a ship captain, is thrown into a pod (apparently along with an imaginary other container I have to pretend doesn't exist), and has an unexplained fetish for cloning. Why would a giraffe want to clone itself? Then some tunnel opens up to the rest of the ship. Does this mean that the captain, who has a penchant for picking up random strangers in the ocean, has now given access to my stuff to everybody else riding on the ship? What if some of those other random strangers are malicious? This tunnel sounds like a bad idea. Why do I want to be discovered, or discover others? Then the giraffe gets a gift and stores it in a shared location. Why would other clones need access to a private gift? Does that mean the elephant, lion, and turtle hiding in the closet now have access to my gift too? I don't know or trust them. Then namespaces are introduced, ostensibly as a means to have privacy. But wait... I thought my container, or my pod was private. I used it to get away from the scary shared hosting, but it sounds like it's no different here. And what is a namespace? Is it related to the "Hello my name is ______" image that was used for labels? Maybe it labels groups of things together? I'm not sure how revision control system (rcs) fits into this. Maybe I can store multiple versions. At any rate, it shows that a namespace lets you keep secrets from each other. Oh, maybe this is a better place to store my gift than a volume. Volumes can be read by any pod (and I don't want that pesky lion and turtle reading my things) so I'll keep it secret in a namespace... somehow. I hope my gift isn't too large to store it there. I'm told that a namespace isolates me from the rest of the cluster, but this is the first time the word cluster is introduced other than the original, highly technical explanation which resulted in the "Huh?" response that triggered this children's story.Again, nice illustrations and a good effort. But I'm left confused about what all this stuff is because I don't know the answers to some of the assumptions you've made. I still have no idea why a PHP app with only one page needs all this complexity. It's just one page, right?

Very nice work. If the eBook is reasonably priced when the book is done, I will buy a copy to support the author.

I make the same comment on the ML and data science classes I have taken online: I like to get different perspectives on the same material from different teachers.

Kalzumeus Software Year in Review 2016
|
Reading these is always interesting to me. Looking at these sorts of sites and the amount of articles and buzz they gather on Hacker News and other sites, I always assume they must be doing high six-figures in income. Yet the ones that are transparent are generally in the $300k a year or less revenue range.I've always considered my side projects and businesses failures, but judging by these numbers I've been more successful than I realized. So I feel good about that, but I think I really need to re-evaluate my goals and how I pursue them. Because I've been extremely negative about what are apparently successes.Perhaps I also need to be more open to hiring a broker next time I sell a project.

Blender 2.79: OpenCL on par with CUDA

"These days, you might get more applause for not being on social media than for reaching a follower milestone in Europe's liberal hubs such as Berlin or Paris....The mechanisms used by Cambridge Analytica and the "malicious actors" cited by Facebook appear to have been legal and do not constitute a data hack, but rather a deliberate exploitation of information through tools or loopholes Facebook itself provided in the past....At least two foreign governments, Australia and Germany, threatened or launched investigations into the practices on Thursday....Meanwhile, in India, where more than a half-million users are estimated to be affected, the allegations have resulted in a governmental request to Facebook and Cambridge Analytica for more detailed information, with a Saturday deadline.Even though India is now Facebook's biggest market - ahead of the United States - no Indian media outlets were able to ask questions in a conference call with CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Wednesday.The heavy U.S. focus immediately triggered criticism because privacy advocates are still looking into reports that Cambridge Analytica may have used Facebook data to influence Indian politics, as well....German justice minister Katarina Barley already called for an E.U.-wide investigation into the misuse of Facebook's data by Cambridge Analytica and other companies on Thursday."Facebook has gambled away people's trust," Barley said....But in Europe, Germany's justice minister and others already fear that the latest regulations aren't enough."Source:https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2018/04/05...

CowToilet, a Toilet for Cows
|
My husband sent this to me.We had a small Jersey house cow,years ago, with only 1 ac to graze and 1/4 ac veg garden, that one cow produced more nutrient load than the land could absorb... composted before (there by reducing volume) spreading. Friends with a real dairy herd had 150 acres to use, and even they had a problem using it all.This device is brilliant for the larger milk producers, and even a small New England
Herds kept inside for the winter. Even a few hours eating in the atanchion barn leaves a lot of waste. To be able to collect and redirect this urine is solving
Many problems on many levels. It makes a world of Common Sense to
Me.As to the manure waste, many country’s burn dry dung, and the clever folks who designed ‘Cow Pots’, have redirected manure in a beneficial way.In Africa they still ‘pave’ the floors with cow dung and seal it with blood. It wouldn’t be a Martha Stewart approved design here, but certainly dried dung (mostly odorless cellulose) could be added to wood chips and made into bricks for fuel.I think the Cow Toilet is a practical device and hope it will be affordable to any dairy that wants to implement it.As for feed lots like the escresent ones in Coilinga CA.& elsewhere, be they Bovine or Porcine, or poultry; understand that the rules on the books need to be Enforced, and the graft/lobbyist elements removed. They’d get cleaned up or shut down darn fast without the greedy business machinery supporting them in government hallways.A restoration farmers point of view from seven decades looking at life

Mozilla plans to remove the Compact Density option from Firefox's Customize menu
|
Many years ago, in Mozilla firefird time, they were citing more information in less space as a feature over the competition and how the interface gives more space to website content.They being not the same guys, obviously.

There is no way on earth there are enough remote positions for all those who want to work remote.Yes, many new remote positions will be created, and it is a trend which will grow. But most will (have to) stay right where they are.

After DeepMind’s cofounder was placed on leave for bullying, Google promoted him
|
We do not know all the details. We know neither contract nor do we know what disciplinary actions and other communication happened. The title and position sounds better but it seems he lost direct disciplinary power and his closeness to the top also implies supervision from the top.Disciplinary matters are secretive and highly individual. Cases from the outside may look different from the inside. Unless there is a pattern to look the other way I’m inclined to give Google the benefit of doubt.

?I use variations on this all the time; pause while load is high, pause while 'x' or more things are running, sleep between invocations, etc.It may not be as convenient for some cases, but "can't do that..." is not quite correct either.The post is starting to feel like a hammer/nail argument, IMO.

So much spin. I can’t visit the pay equity channel because Slack should only be used for business functions but I can go onto a dog related channel.

Transmission torrent client ported to C++
|
I agree with the positive comments in this thread. I too was a C++ hater, and I by no means understand it as well as C, but recompiling a small (~15KLOCs) project today with a C++ compiler caught a few issues.And on another project, it was great to be able to use std::map instead of rolling my own equivalent. The only thing that scares me is exceptions.

Former U.S. officials describe details of the CIA’s proposals to abduct Assange
|
Assange, Wikileaks, and Snowden. If these people did the same thing to Russia/Putin or the CCP, they would be gone without a trace right now. It's really sad, these false equivalencies gone wild.Doing something bad or making a mistake doesn't make the actor bad. That's just an un-nuanced world view.

Designing Low Upkeep Software

I am not sure writing your own build tools is the way to go, if there already exists something that does that thing even better.(as the author mentioned, he wrote a templating engine that updates all static files when a shared component is edited)

Google developing own CPUs for Chromebook laptops

In the long run for the environment, and consumer closed hardware should be outlawed. Hardware should be open and built with repairable, upgradable, recyclable design, everything else is waste.

Tab Unloading in Firefox 93
|
Tabs which get unloaded automatically mean that, when you switch to them, you get a long delay before you can view the tab again, and worse: it makes a new HTTP request, so if you were viewing a Confluence page or something, you will be tracked for reading the page again. So it's not a feature I've ever liked, but I like that Firefox will only unload a tab if it thinks it will crash due to low memory situations because that has never been an issue for me before. It's the main reason I like to use Firefox, Chromium based browsers are waaay too aggressive with this in my experience.

To learn a new language, read its standard library
|
I've jsut discovered this approach with python. I usually used google and cookbooks. But I often found myself in position where I tought 'surely there must be a better way to do it'. Reading the standard library really helped me understand how to do some stuff. Best way I found to enforce what I learnt was to rewrite some code with minimal imports.

Milan confirms new cycling network linking 80% of the city to bike paths
|
Glad to see they're making an attempt, and I hope it works out well, but there is a big difference between talking about something that will (might, we hope) get done in the future, VS something that has already been accomplished that one can feel proud of. I look forward to seeing if this can make the transition from the former to the latter.Also, major yellow flag: "The paths will also feature state-of-the-art infrastructure, including low-impact motion-sensor lighting, digital displays, and a network of fibre optic cables, ..."
Sounds like exactly the kind of over-engineering and over-specing that plagues these kinds of projects.
