I have been using a distro with systemd for years, now. It hasn't failed me - ever.
This is the interesting thing, especially if you are anti-systemd (I am slightly). It's the difference between being against something conceptually but not seeing the bad effects of "the bad bits" in implementation, I guess we overlook the importance of the quality of implementation... A poorly implemented good concept can be way worse than a good quality implementation of a slightly flawed concept.
for future intel chips, the microcode is expanding in size at a rapid rate as Intel adds more advanced ISA features, that's now the primary focus since there is not much to be gained from physical improvements.
If I interpret your argument correctly you are saying firearms preserve your freedoms and undesirable deaths are the price? But how can you explain the massive erosion of freedoms in your country over the last century? Surely that's not attributed to what little gun control there is? I'm not saying my county is any more free but I don't see how guns would help in all but the worst and most unstable state of governance.
... you Amerians have a serious social problem with firearms, I post this (parent) comment and get tons of "foes" on slashdot and not a single argumentative response, are you lot completely incapable of engaging in rational discussion of this topic? Or do you settle everything with guns instead... oh there's no guns here so FOE button me to death like I give a shit.
We all like to bitch about crappy hardware and software, but If you kept adding all the things that anyone ever hated about linux or hardware to your "no" list you will end up with a transistor... even some people will hate a particular type of transistor. so you will end up with nothing.
Point being, if you knew all the details of what went into making your computer you would find a lot of it pretty fucking awful... Once you take the red pill you have to be more accepting of the prevalence of poor design and buggy hardware and software or get out of computing. Just focus on the good stuff, the bad stuff is inevitable for so many reasons. On a semi-related note, another way of looking at things is like Minix3: failure is inevitable, so make it fail right.
Well, just outlaw trucks and pressure cookers. Problem solved!
NO, stop the strawmen... Banning something will hinder society to some degree if the reason to ban it is not it's primary function (e.g encryption, transportation, paper, pressure cookers). A gun's primary purpose is to kill, thus banning it will only hinder killing people.
Q1: Do we ever really want an individual citizen to have the power to very easily kill many people arbitrarily without trial? Unless you are living in the world of mad max then this is something you should be moving away from for any forward thinking society.
Q2: does it work? in the UK it's extremely difficult to get guns, result: murderous people have to resort to knives and cars and improvised weapons... this is much better than being able to pick up a semiauto and pepper hundreds of people with bullets at the drop of a hat.
I duno... was Basic good in that it introduced a lot of people to programming? yes it was a terrible language, but it's a foot in the door.
I have mixed feelings about Basic becaus on the one hand it was very easy, on the other hand as soon as you need any structure it makes programming look awful and as my first language it did put me off quite a lot, I then revisited programming much later. I think python is a massive step up though, and a language without boilerplate and compilation is probably worth it for an introductory language, because lets be honest those things are not fun.
Well, you are assuming the attack vector is always from outside a gateway... but the first thing it does is install zmap and sshpass, so it's obviously intended to be self propagating inside a network. It would likely be more dangerous if it first piggybacked on some other more likely vector to first get inside a network and then target pi.
Fuck you incompetent business, this will go down badly for you in the media: Anyone hiring a junior straight out of college knows not to throw the crown jewels of the company into their lap to play with, and if you don't have working backups then you're double to blame...
Kid: Don't worry, notice how every single comment here will put the blame squarely on your terrible employer. It's just luck getting a first good employer, you will find more. Remember the hill climbing algorithm... your marble just rolled straight into the deepest pit, it's not your fault it's just bad luck, you've got a lot of random rolling to do, keep your head up and you will eventually find some nice reasonable people that appreciate you.
raspian defaults changed last year to SSH off, so it forces you to login over serial and enable SSH + change the password (closing the window of opportunity)... It's also possible to enable it by adding a file to the boot partition though.
I suppose the problem is that newbies still don't know the importance of changing default passwords and raspian is not installed but dd'ed to a disk much like a VPS but without the friendly UI forcing you to set a custom password.
RICK AND MORTY FOREVER AND FOREVER A HUNDRED YEARS Rick and Morty.. some...things.. Me and Rick and Morty runnin' around and...

In the business world more people understood Unix than Microsoft by far at the time. The problem was that Unix was much, much more expensive than Windows Server, and people hadn't yet learned the lesson that you get even less than what you pay for, and keep paying for it decades after you realize you got in bed with the devil.
Funny fact: Hotmail ran/runs on both FreeBSD and Solaris.
Hotmail originally ran on a mixture of FreeBSD and Solaris operating systems.[21] A project was started to move Hotmail to Windows 2000. In June 2001, Microsoft claimed this had been completed; a few days later they retracted and admitted that the DNS functions of the Hotmail system were still reliant on FreeBSD. In 2002 Hotmail still ran its infrastructure on UNIX servers, with only the front-end converted to Windows 2000
More like long-sighted... It's too early to tax this stuff, the robots haven't replaced humans on a large enough scale yet... it's like taxing cars on roads before there are enough cars. Robots replacing crappy jobs is a good thing for everyone, because in the future that means society as a whole is more efficient, the monetary displacement however needs to be corrected after the fact, otherwise you are removing the incentive for that shift to take place.
Lets see... EI* is obviously shit, Edge is still mostly IE, Safari (webkit) is ok-ish but has a number of icky usability bugs and is basically in a slower state of development. Firefox is a horrible flaky box of bugs (as good as the developers are, maybe that will change with the effort on building brand new parts).
It's nice to think competition matters, but priority one is not having to wade through shitty bugs as a user. Chromium is the only one that comes close... It's fucking massive, funded by big evil data mining co and I wish there was a more detached open source competitor that wasn't utter crap, but no...
Mozilla: if you care about there bing competition with Chrome then complain about it once you've completed re-writing FireFox, not while it's still obsolete cruft.
Purpose built machines have been able to, or be used to out do humans for a very long time.
[EDIT...]
Unless AlphaGo figures out a way to keep a person from unplugging it, I'm guessing that humanity will be just fine.
More specifically, "humanity will be just fine" not because we can unplug it,
but because it's another single purpose tool. Yes NN approaches and ready made libraries like tensor flow can be used to create new purposes... but guess what, it takes a human, to design, build and teach the tool how to do it's job.
The cosmic sized gap between these building blocks and the idea of something sentient that could reason, learn, create and intuit news things dynamically and autonomously is what is missing... this is the gap that all the CEO hype queens miss when making their "AI will rule us all in 10 years" type predictions, AI general intelligence is a vague concept that the experts are not even attempting to engineer because we don't even understand the meaning of "general intelligence" yet.
It absolutely does matter if it's immoral. In the case of a law being immoral it is up to members of society to point out the immorality and demand change to law.
The law is immoral and should be changed? what copyright law? having you been living on mars under a fucking rock - you can't change copyright unless you are at the table, and "people" will never be at the table, even if you were you can't tweak this law into morality, it is a flawed concept that will converge into stupid shit like this on one hand and DRM for books on the other.
The only thing you can do is not play the game, let the petty people fight over what can and can't be copied and who gets paid what, the rest of us will move on. By all means try to play their game though.
The point I was trying to make which I honestly thought I got across in my first post is that copyright is flawed, I would have thought any Slashdot reader would not need to be given examples of why. Excuse the ad hominem
There is not hard line of "originality" the brain is input output with an arbitrary amount of processing, cases argue originality of creative works all the time, and everytime they draw an arbitrary line, so "can you copyright a joke"? that's subjective, it depends on the case, it depends on the Judge. (Yes copyright makes no sense)
A joke is not just a string of words. A joke is delivery, context, relevance to history/current events, etc... This is why jokes are recycled over and over again over generations. No, you can't copyright a joke. It is material that already exists in the public domain. If you have to go judge shopping to get the answer you want, it is an immoral position to hold.
It doesn't matter if it's immoral, this is not about my opinion, I pretty much hate all copyright FYI... my point is YOU don't get to say if it's copyrightable, because what constitutes copyrightable work is continually pushed in courts, that's why people DO go shopping for judges, because the definition of creative work is subjective. There is no hard, objective, quantitative line to draw where you can say "that's not creative enough" which is why the entire premise is bound to devolve to the level just above the building blocks of any creative medium.
You don't know what the singularity is do you? nether can the fathom the distance in time between current AI and that vague distant possibly non existent point in the future. TLDR; AI doesn't write software.
Similarly, you can't Copyright a word, or a string of words.
What... like a book?>

...needs to be or benefits from being or using AI. AI, NN, machine learning etc are statistical approaches that can be effective for approaching intractable problems. Unless this hype train has already reached "the singularity" it does not write software, and most of the software we write at the moment is for solvable problems that have no direct benefit from AI (no i'm not talking about big data advertising or your useless personal spy assistant).

Has anyone else been experiencing the random hangs on v58 on startup, multiple linux machines with very different hardware i have with v58 do this.
It's a bit more than "reportedly"... more like "practically".
I'm fairly sure the article was only entertaining the practicality of fucking yourself for humorous effect, but by all means give it a go.

The subject matter of copyright is extremely broad, including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, audiovisual, and architectural works.
(Emphasis added) Does standup comedy not effectively take this form?
