OneDrive as an alternative
I know Microsoft isn't the most popular company on Slashdot, but I've had great luck with an open source OneDrive client for syncing from Linux to OneDrive. It's available on github: https://github.com/skilion/one...

Re:Brand new phone, but OS isn't up to date
Get a phone that updates with LineageOS. It solves all the problems outlined in all the threads here: only latest base android, you can install just google play and that's it if you really want and everything else can be considered optional (select pico: https://github.com/opengapps/o...) and you still have a phone that works fast and lean. The issue is drivers and support sadly, the list is very limited.

"Podcast" apps that can't play podcasts
I would have summarized this differently. It looks like he's saying these two programs, Apple Podcasts and Google Podcasts, have UI problems that ironically make those programs difficult to use for podcasts. They're probably pretty good at playing audio that those companies want to promote, but not so good for podcasts. If you're into podcasts, you probably don't use these companies' software.
It's just like you would never use some TV company's software to watch video. I don't need an app from CBS or HBO or Netflix. I have mpv. Your job is to sell content that works with a standard player, or else stand aside when I pirate everything you have and teach everyone I know how to do it too. Just as would be the case with a "podcast" that you can't play on any generic podcast player.
The parallels are striking. They think they're trying to win, but they're just training the public how to see through, and get out.
At least Google is finally making some useful hardware. Chromecast Audio is turning out to be one of the neatest toys in the last few years. But I don't want their services, any more than I'd want Disney's TV app.

Dan Pink on motivation echoes your points
"RSA ANIMATE: Drive: The surprising truth about what motivates us"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?...More on Dan Pink and his writings: https://www.danpink.com/about/
Alfie Kohn also writes on the topic of intrinsic motivation
https://www.alfiekohn.org/arti...
https://www.alfiekohn.org/arti...
https://www.alfiekohn.org/puni...I put together a reading list of related ideas here:
"High Performance Organizations Reading List"
https://github.com/pdfernhout/...Of course, appropriate compensation is important in a society like the USA that has so many exchange transactions (as opposed to subsistence, gift, and planned transactions). Like Dan Pink says, people need to be paid enough to "take money off the table" as an issue. And for some people who like to work independently, saving up money is a way to buy their own time to work on things they care about.
But once money is off the table, these sorts of non-monetary issues affect productivity:
* Purpose (Finding meaning in what you do in how it affects people and the rest of the world)
* Autonomy (being able to make decisions about what you do and how you do it)
* Mastery (personal growth in technical skills and other areas)
* Community
* InfrastructureDan Pink talks about the first three in the video above.
Community is related to shared purpose, but I feel is a different thing in itself about how people relate to each other and have fun together. While I feel it problematical to ask employees to travel long distances for special events or to give up evenings or weekends for "team building exercises", a company that uses some of the work day to build community is likely making a good investment. Those can be relatively simple things like lunch-and-learns, holiday parties in the late afternoon, special lunches with invited guests, and so on. Even something like a regular "all hands" meeting to discuss what is going on in the company can help build community. Enjoyable training sessions like using appropriate humor in communications could also help. Even just starting voice or video chats ten minutes before the appointed time so people who show up early can chat briefly about stuff they are doing outside of work can make a difference. But community is not any one thing -- it is about the whole as a culture and also strengthening many individual one-to-one relationships.
Infrastructure overlaps with "Autonomy" to an extent -- but larger organizational choices can make a big difference for software developers; for example:
* The process choices -- e.g. see David Thomas on moving beyond "Agile" to "Agility"
* The tool/language/library choices -- e.g. in the web space there are so many poorly thought out overly-complex systems being adopted like Angular from big-name herd effects. Contrast such overly-complex systems with the idea of simplicity like in "Simple Made Easy" by Rich Hickey (developer of Clojure) or ideas by Chuck Moore (developer of Forth) or by Alan Kay and Dan Ingalls (with Smalltalk) or Leo Horie (with Mithril.js/HyperScript) and Adam Morse (with Tachyons.css). You don't have to use these specific languages or libraries to learn to appreciate things from the perspective of appropriate simplicity as the ultimate elegance, which can then be applied to whatever you are stuck with for legacy reasons.
* Having the appropriate tools you need to do your job (e.g. adequate computing, adequate displays, an appropriate workspace, good audio/visual communications, etc.)
And of course the specific relation an employee has with a manager makes a huge difference, given it is often said people

Re:Great name; "LVFS"
Ok here are some links:
A Lightweight Video Storage File System for IP Camera-Based Surveillance Applications:
https://link.springer.com/chap...Liquid Virtual File System:
https://github.com/LiquidFM/lv...LVFS: A scalable big data scientific storage system:
https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/do...etc. etc.
So I expected LVFS to mean yet another some flavor of an LV file system. I guess what I find confusing is a four letter acronym ending with "FS" but then again, nobody should have exclusivity. I probably would have chosen another acronym although to make that "LVFS" name more specific and meaningful.

uMatrix and Waterfox
This is why I'm using uMatrix with Waterfox. The "modern" web has gone out of control, and you need to filter the crap out of it, starting with tracking, ads, and of course not needed junk like fonts or rogue scripts mining Monero or whatnot.
uMatrix handles everything beautifully, and remembers per site settings.
Sometimes my internet degrades so much that i have needed the old fashioned Netscape block image button, for that i got image-block, another extension that has saved when every little byte counts.
Also Waterfox with the classic theme restorer is an unbeatable combo for a decent classic UI.

Concept programming
I agree with the general sentiment. My own answer to this was something called "concept programming", which focuses on the translation of ideas into code. The following presentation gives an outline of what this means and a few early results: http://xlr.sourceforge.net/Con....
From that I derived a concept programming language called XL, https://github.com/c3d/XL. Which keeps evolving too fast to ever stabilize. Two semi-stable variants emerged, however, one called Tao3D for interactive real-time animations (http://tao3d.sourceforge.net), one for distributed programming and the Internet of Things (https://github.com/c3d/elfe).
Both variants demonstrate, technically, how well the concept programming approach works, and how well it answers the original posters questions. However, nobody cares. None of these languages ever reached a "good enough" status, i.e. a status where you can really make a living out of programming them.
I'm still working on this, though, and I still believe that the original idea is sound. It just needs more focus on execution, ironing out all the details (e.g. having a complete runtime support library), building a community, etc, things I never really had enough resources to do well enough.

Best Fuckin' HOSTS file, for privacy/security
This is the best hosts lists I've found to date. While it may not add blocks for W10 problems, (they can easily be added by the user) it is massive and it works well:
https://github.com/StevenBlack...
"This repository consolidates several reputable hosts files, and merges them into a unified hosts file with duplicates removed."
In addition, "A variety of tailored hosts files are provided."
If you want the default one (latest release):
https://github.com/StevenBlack...
Users of *nix will probably want to change all '0.0.0.0' entries to '127.0.0.1'. (and maybe some Windows users, too, IDK)

Re:The problem is the content authors.
I used to use NoScript for years, until it broke in the Great FireFox Plugin Breakage (it got mostly fixed a couple of weeks later).
Then I started using uMatrix. It took some time to understand how to use it properly, but now I do, I don't look back. It's far superior to NoScript, except maybe for some of the click-jacking stuff that NoScript can block (although I got mostly false positives with that, so it was more annoying than useful).One thing I really didn't like about NoScript, is that if I unblocked say "google.com" on one site, then it would be unblocked for all domains, and for all browser tabs that I left open.
With uMatrix, this unblocking is per site domain. And you get fine grained control over what to block or unblock (cookies, css, images, media, scripts, xhr, frames, websockets).
I've setup uMatrix to allow some basic things on the 1st party level (whitelist mode), meaning most sites will load. Then if a site needs extra domains/scripts/css/media/whatever, I can unblock the ones that make the site work again. If I visit the site frequently, I can save the "extra unblocks" to the whitelist with a simple click on a button.
It takes some getting used to, but uMatrix lets you take back control over your browsing experience. And it works had-in-hand with uBlock Origin, another must-have plugin from the same author.

I created a Forth-derived language, embedded in C (link below) to tap into some of that old school simplicity without loosing contact with the bigger picture. Even Python is too complicated for my taste when it comes to whipping out simple tools, and not integrated deep enough with C to use as an embedded scripting language.

Re:Feedback?
I'm not pissed they threw out XUL. I'm disappointed that the replacement doesn't have as many features. With XUL you could change the UI to a very large degree (remove the toolbars completely and organize the UI however you want), how tabs are organized (like on the sides), (a long time later fixed) preempt loading for ad/scriptblocking, and load local CSS from the disk under an HTTPS page (this is marked as WONTFIX https://github.com/tysonmatani... and breaks Stylus usage when people with disabilities would need it (I don't fall into this category however)). The replacement wasn't up to par as the original; I do know that security wise some of these decisions make sense, but what made Firefox special was removed and not replaced.

Re:0, 1, or infinity
decNumber as defined by the Unicode standard, IEEE 754, and ANSI C all include Infinity and -Infinity when working with decimal floats.
The reason you don't have infinity as a discrete type of NaN is that you're using binary arithmetic. You can't even touch numbers that have to do with money using that shit.
This is why banks are still using COBOL; it only supports decimal arithmetic, so clever sorts can't screw up the rounding as easily.
GCC can handle some of it directly, but for full support I recommend using decNumber package by IBM that is distributed with ICU (unicode) distribution. There is a Ruby binding that embeds that one. In Go the most complete implementation is https://github.com/cockroachdb... . They have it in Java, too.

Re: One more time with feeling: OS level sandbox
Containers in Firefox are just an add-on to Firefox, which generally means that it's written in Javascript. (And in this case it is) This inherently means that they do not have access to interact with the OS-level sandbox and therefore it does not impact roca's explanation.

Re:Apple doesn't have market share to push Metal
Don’t the big engines already support Metal? Unreal, Unity, etc.? Last I checked they all already support it.
Yep they do.
Vulkan will hopefully receive third-party support on macOS and perhaps iOS eventually
It's already there. Instead of just breaking from Khronos and going off and doing their own thing it would have made sense to contribute Metal to Khronos as an industry standard, or at least make it an open spec.

Re:APK Hosts File Engine 64-bit for BSD... apk
Stop posting spam about your software. Your post has nothing to do with the topic of this article, which is the release of NetBSD 8.0. You deserve to be modded down. Spam like this is a big part of why you have so many problems with other users of this site. Also, I don't see any reason why you couldn't already run your software on NetBSD and FreeBSD, since they have Linux binary compatibility. OpenBSD used to as well, though I don't believe it does any longer. Also, if you really want your software to be used by BSD users, you'd be better off releasing it as an open source tool and maintaining it in the ports collection.
Also, there are open source alternatives to your software such as Steven Black's hosts file software that seems to do exactly the same thing your software does. Also, Steven Black's software is written in Python and is cross-platform, so there's no need to maintain separate versions for Windows, Linux, and MacOS. The documentation suggests that software could run provide the same functionality on iOS and Android. It could run on *BSD right now without any difficulty. The fact that this software is cross-platform and open source seems to provide substantial advantages over yours.
A hosts-based blacklist may be a useful component for securing a system, including a *BSD system. However, there are high-quality, open source, cross-platform solutions that already exist. If you want to implement a hosts-based blacklist on *BSD, I suggest taking a look at the software I linked to.

Re:It's great....
If you add testing, Python development is even faster. Even Google's unit test library is leagues behind Python's unittest.
Of course, it's very hard to compare development times. I'm good in Python, decent in C++, but very rusty with plain C. You're probably the opposite. -
Re:It's great....
Even with C++17, C++ is the other extreme. There are several other languages that fall nicely in between - almost as fast and efficient as C++, while being as productive as Python. If you memory consumption is an issue I would suggest Nim (like Python), Crystal (like Ruby) or Rust (like ML). They are all quite high level and use very tight data structures and consume little memory.

Re:Financial models matter
No, I am not a mathematician. I published one peer reviewed paper as middle author, and one internal-only government publication also as not anyone important. My education helps me reason about these things, and it's occasionally helpful in system design, but most of the time not really. I don't spend much time on slashdot, so I'm not usually involved in these types of discussions, but your response was interesting to me.
I think your answer is going to need to ultimately be a single value, and not a matrix, since you need to decide where (one value) to place something. You won't be able to place things according to a matrix of answers, unless you take my multiple-views approach even further. That would be cool to click something like "order by funny" and have the page elements float around using something like D3 for animations though. Or order by "makes me feel happy." If you allowed for something like that, then I could see your matrix approach. Otherwise, how will you collapse down your multidimensional answer to a single position within the page? I can see your suggestion as an intermediate representation, but you'll ultimately need a single answer, right?
Oh no, my age term was supposed to be the age of the comment. I can see how you interpreted it the way you did, since my notation is fairly terrible. That was an attempt to reorder the comments based on their comment age, like you suggested initially. I would actually not factor for the age of the commenter at all, other than possible in their reputation term. You could do this, and then have a commenter_age_multiplier, that I'd set to zero and maybe you wouldn't.
I am constantly against UI "improvements" being deployed which make things extremely confusing and different, in an attempt to make them better. Often times I would rather keep a crappy UI that I am familiar with, rather than an improved UI that I am not, since the cost of learning the new UI outweighs any benefits of the new UI. However, I see how rolling this out in an effort to actually shape the discussion would probably not lend itself to an optional, other, UI. This is really just a view on the data though.
The furthest I MIGHT take this charity idea is to see if I can pull all comments for a story using an API, then visualize each comment as a circle using D3, with the replies inside. I could then make the different dots (and contained dots) float up, or down, based on whatever kind of weight terms I want. Since I see no possible way to make money on this, I probably won't even make it that far.
It is interesting thinking about all the different ways discussions can be ranked.

Re:Questions and observations
Are there any computer languages that are well-designed and well-documented?
"Well-designed" is purely a matter of opinion, and I'd say there are many that are well-documented. To be fair, there's a distinction between language documentation and standard library documentation, and sometimes library documentation can be a bit lacking -- but there are still many that are excellent.
Why was there enthusiasm for Python? It seems to me that now there is less enthusiasm for Python. Is that correct?
Python is the second most popular language on GitHub and its popularity has been climbing yearly. There are many reasons why there's enthusiasm for it, and they're mostly personal opinions, but many people would tell you the reasons they like Python are the speed of development, intuitive language syntax, a comprehensive standard library, and massive numbers of open source libraries.
Why do programmers adopt new languages so enthusiastically? Is that an interesting hobby?
Yes, actually, designing and learning new languages is fun for many people.

My RSS Reader solutions ...
First, I used Tiny Tiny RSS for a few years. It worked well. I ran it on my home server. Written in PHP and using MySQL made it easy to host.
One day, it was choking on feeds from a certain site, and stopped updating.
So I switched to the original MiniFlux reader. Again, it is written in PHP, so easy to host. It can use either SQLite, MySQL, or other databases.
The same developer has gone in a different direction, with MiniFlux 2, which uses Go, and PostgreSQL (only!). The developer describes it as 'opinionated!' Using Go is an odd choice here, since this is not an application that has to be super fast. The slowest parts will be retrieving feeds (limited by the speed of the network and servers that host the feeds), or reading the database. Moreover, being a single executable, it does not integrate with your existing Apache or Nginx (if you already have them and want to use existing SSL certificates,
...etc.) and therefore has to run on a different port. PostgreSQL only is higher maintenance than MySQL, and if I don't not run PostgreSQL already, then I will not install, configure and maintain PostgreSQL just for the this one application.So for now, the original MiniFlux does the job adequately, running behind SSL and password protected, so not much chance for a vulnerability getting exploited. Tiny Tiny RSS had a better user interface, but you get used to MiniFlux quickly. It even uses short cut keys that are like vim (j, k,...).
