Julia and Rust have some intriguing parallelisation mechanisms. What I would like to write is code that has a dependency graph (or the compiler figures out the dependencies and parallelises by itself).
In the meantime I simple write code for 1 processor, and run that on many data sets in parallel (using make or doit).
No, but gaming companies will not focus on Linux if the performance is poor. The question is who is going to fix this? Do kernel developers at the moment have a vested interest in bringing Linux (drivers) on par with Windows, or is that job left to gaming companies like Steam.
Also if the placebo treatment are more intrusive/painful. For placebo pills: coloured ones, larger ones are more effective. And it helps if the doctor is convinced that the treatment is effective. Each and all scientifically tested.
I am unsure what should I debunk and what I am failing in. The report you refer to is very insightful though (I am looking at http://www.ipcc.ch/pdf/assessm... ). I don't see anything I should disagree with? They report human-made global warming and its measurable effects. Thanks for the resource, it is very detailed and interesting.
Conveniently Global Warming initiative somehow morphed into the Climate Change, or, more accurately, fight against Climate change. I have to believe that every educated person will agree that the only thing that is constant it is change itself, including climate. Climate is changing slowly, also changes in cycles and has many variables. And yes, human are f***king up the biosphere.
NASA has issued new study saying that Antarctica stated that since 1992, a lot of ice has been added to the continent this is the link to NASA: https://www.nasa.gov/content/g...
Most cynical opponents to those who were pushing Global Warming were citing that it was about the money and carbon tax in the particular.
... are you arguing that now? Do you think scientists are warning about human-made global warming for money and the carbon tax?
I am convinced that in my lifetime I will see another initiative related to the fight against Global Cooling. As such Climate Change is much more convenient because bureaucrats can fight any change irrespective of the direction of the change.
At that time the Universe was mostly Hydrogen and a little Helium. It took the death of 1-2 generations of stars to make Oxygen available to planets -- so no water.
In the case of SN 1987A https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SN_1987A, a supernova in 1987 which was close enough that we could detect the flood of neutrinos, the neutrinos did as predicted arrive a few hours before the light.
That claim is disputed (as you can see on the page you link to), because the equipment has not reliably recorded the times of arrival of the neutrino detections. What you say about Supernova models predicting neutrinos escaping before light is true, but the observational proof is yet to come... making IceCube even more important.
Nope. They mention that in the paper and then proceed to show how it can be done without them.
Just because it can be done without backdoors, doesn't mean the NSA isn't going the easy route. That the NSA is tapping large datacenters before encryption and has access to the private keys of major companies is known now. Schneier says:
The new Snowden revelations are explosive. Basically, the NSA is able to decrypt most of the Internet. They're doing it primarily by cheating, not by mathematics.
That would be fine. But they keep the accumulated patents and stop other people from picking it up. Bloody software patents. Also, Google can buy up any company with a good idea, and thereby stop them from becoming competition.
Every distribution was about to move away from init anyways, it was more of a question to where. Would you prefer upstart?
Because that is really the false proposition here.
People say "Oh, they made the wrong choice dropping sysvinit and moving to systemd, they should have stayed with sysvinit. It was much better because binary logs & UNIX philosophy."
Distros where saying "We *need* a replacement for sysvinit for good reasons (read the long debian mailing list discussions and from the upstart people), we considered the options and chose systemd over upstart. And now we are quite happy with it."
Make a fork of systemd and strip it down. Or contribute patches for packages so they are more loosely coupled.
But that was not the problem. They converted username & password to lowercase, and stored username, MD5("username::password") additionally to bcrypt2("username::password"). The MD5 hashes were resolved now, which is what this article is about. If they had not unnecessarily stored the MD5 hashes (probably a legacy field in the database, because only present for 11 of 36 million users), there would be no problem. Converting the password to lowercase was also unnecessary. The bcrypt2 passwords remain uncracked -- the remaining 25 million user entries still are secure as far as we can tell.
Let me re-write that: "KDE should be the default DE for everyone because I like it more" and "Software should have never been created, because having more choice in FOSS software is somehow bad for the Linux ecosystem." Can you find the logic?
Give me a break, it's just a couple of thousand people. Millions are staying, in Lebanon and Turkey, because that is the region that they call home. There is no mass migration, that is a news bias.
This comic claims that climate change is one of the triggers (combined with the authoritarian regime, of course): https://www.upworthy.com/tryin...
The UN has warned for years that climate change will lead to water and food shortages, and therefore political instabilities. This seems to be the first clear example, with probably many to follow as deserts expand.
* If you suspend your laptop, then resume, the network manager prompts you to ask whether you want to reconnect to the WiFi point which you were using before. Why? It doesn't prompt you at boot, just after a resume. Yes, of course I want to carry on using the WiFi I was using a moment ago.
I have never had that problem. Must be a problem with your configuration? File a bug or ask on IRC.
* By default, if you drag a window to the top of the screen it causes the window to be maximised. Yes, I know they copied this from some other desktop, but it doesn't make it any less idiotic. It's overloading a gesture to do something different, and leaving you no way to do the old thing which the gesture used to do. It doesn't even make it any easier to maximise a window, because you could always double click on the title bar to achieve the same thing. It does however mean that if you want a number of tall windows (making best use of your large monitor) you have to jump through hoops to achieve what should be easy.
Doubtless others can provide lots of other examples.
I always use Super (aka Windows-Key) + Click + Drag to move the window around. Then you don't have to grab the top of the window, it works on the entire are. Also try Super + Rightclick for resizing. Works on almost all window managers.
"Gentoo fucks up the compilation part to a large extent"... no it doesn't. It is true though that Gentoo upgrades sometimes need attention for resolving blocks. But in return you get a bleeding-edge, super-stable, polished system. It is extremely rare to see compilation errors, and they are usually fixed within days. Gentoo is a big community...
As for GNOME 3, I use it and I like it. It gets notifications out of the way until I have time and focus to attend to them. It does everything I need it to, it is consistently designed and behaves smoothly.
I don't get all the GNOME3 hate. I guess you want something that behaves like Windows 95-2000, but configurable. Great, enjoy KDE, GNOME 2, Xfce or whatever GNOME fork. But not all of us want to relive that time forever.

Gentoo has a graphical installer these days. I know, shocking!
Besides, Gentoo and Arch are similar in complexity to install; difference is only internals and USE flags.
at least one symbol and at least 8 characters Password1~
This leads to extremely common patterns, or classes of passwords such as ULLLLLLLDS, which can be pre-computed for cracking.
Knowing the 30 most common such topologies and allows an attacker to crack 90% of all passwords (according to leaked password lists).
Smart password checkers like the one of Kaspersky take that into account https://blog.kaspersky.com/pas...

At that time the Universe was mostly Hydrogen and a little Helium. It took the death of 1-2 generations of stars to make Oxygen available to planets -- so no water.
There is only so much gas that will become stars, most of it will forever float in the space between galaxies. The timeline is 100Gyr-1Tyr.

Doesn't Ubuntu have suggested apps already?
I also vaguely remember that they were trying to introduce a marketplace for commercial software.

That would be fine. But they keep the accumulated patents and stop other people from picking it up. Bloody software patents. Also, Google can buy up any company with a good idea, and thereby stop them from becoming competition.
