Good thing the 0.01% are thinking ahead and managed to unanimously ratify a covert treaty spelling out precisely how to divvy up among themselves the spoils sprout.
Otherwise, the fertile soil could turn into dense, tangled jungle underbrush instead of trusting up a solitary Mallorn tree fruiting at its spire a great, flaming eagle, as this narrative assumes and requires.
I just saw "SJW" for the first time a couple of weeks ago, and already I'm seeing it everywhere.
As 1968 began to ebb into 1969, however, and as "anticlimax" began to become a real word in my lexicon, another term began to obtrude itself. People began to intone the words "The Personal Is Political". At the instant that I first heard this deadly expression, I knew as one does from the utterance of any sinister bullshit that it was — cliche is arguably forgiveable here — very bad news. From now on, it would be enough to a member of a sex or gender, or epidermal subdivision, or even erotic "preference", to qualify as a revolutionary. In order to begin a speech or ask a question from the floor, all that would be necessary by way of preface would be the words, "Speaking as a..." Then could follow any self-loving description.
Concerning "SJW", I can't say I've experienced an instantaneous revulsion of this magnitude for a long time. It's the Roundup Ready MRE of smug snivellers. Move over smut, there's a new porn in town.
When's the last time you watched a Hockey, Basketball, or Football game (of either kind) without seeing a penalty? Those guys cheat constantly.
Penalties and cheating in the NHL have a small area of overlap.
Puck over glass is a penalty. No-one thinks of this as cheating. It's more like a fumble under the current rules.
Most obstruction penalties are simply accepted as the defensive measure of last resort.
Using an illegal stick is actual cheating. Maybe a player or two a year gets busted for his.
I personally consider diving or dropping your stick to draw a holding penalty when the opposing player barely touched it as 90% cheating.
The spectrum of offences concerning miscalibrated aggression levels are part of the sport. It simply couldn't be the same sport if this was handled differently.
So, no, they don't cheat constantly. Not even close.
Lost in all of this is that he might actually have been a strong appointment and done a good job in this role. Capable people with a golden Rolodex who are willing to work for quasi non-profits don't grow on trees.
What I couldn't stomach was his having made no public statement about where he now stands on his past behaviour, and that's how I registered my own opinion in the Wikipedia straw poll. This was for me 90% communication failure. I guess I kind of take it for granted that unethical behaviour among the upper echelons of the minions of the captains of industry goes with the territory.
No doubt there's a good reason the invisible hand won't show its face. Shame, mainly, it seems to me.
Furthermore, SMS service was a bit spotty back then, so let's just assume that whatever Archimedes accomplished, he mostly accomplished ab initio.
Furthermore again, calculus isn't really calculus without the notion of continuous functions over an algebraic coordinate system.
Merely inscribing exterior and interior polygons around a circle and then amping up the edge count is obviously a pretty good place to start, but Newton or Leibniz it sure the heck wasn't.
If I had known I would still be hanging around here ten years later, I would have originally named myself "muscle memory" instead of the first lame thing that came into my mayfly head.
Wish list, two items, sorted from the banal to the sublime:
* working mdash and ndash in the text input box—it sends DFWesque-level geek chills down my spine to use the right one in absolutely every instance (please don't datamine the last ten years of my happy fiction)
* story summaries where you can identify the story topic without having through to the story, and where the discussion can start with the implications rather than everyone leaning in with giant RCA-era ear horns "eh, what did the summary just say?" "fuck if I know" "eh, did you just say 'duck'?" and so on
A lame story summary sets a bad tone for the entire thread. For some entirely ungeek reason so many summaries seem determined to end off with a woolly sentiment reminiscent of a late-afternoon chocolate-brownie special Olympics.
Actually, this has seemed somewhat less horrible for the last couple of months, I don't know why.
I was in an ethnic grocery store fronting Bloor St W, somewhere between Ossington and Dufferin, buying rutabagas to make a vegetable stock for a fancy Swedish meatball recipe (three different kinds of ground meat) from The Joy of Cooking, when the radio behind the cash register booth came on with the breaking news.
I can even recall where I was standing in relationship to the interior shelving. Furthermore, I'm pretty sure I had been reading Surely You're Joking just a week earlier (not that the connection was especially direct at that time).
I already held the opinion that the shuttle was a financial albatross compared to other ways the same funds could have been spent, so I certainly had some conflicting emotions in the moment. While it's definitely gratifying to see a rather stupid publicity stunt reveal itself for what it truly was, the human cost was extremely high. Perhaps they should have used a stunt double for the teacher astronaut, Wag the Dog style. Maybe they did, and she's now living somewhere in deep cover under witness protection.
Somehow I don't think so. It's much easier just to fold the American flag into that fancy croissant and bow our heads in heroic grief.
I've been running two instances for about six months. Both have been totally stable. Neither is presently configured to do much beyond basic firewall, dhcpd, and name server duties. I have no complaints.
I chose OPNsense over pfSense because their roadmap made vague claims about becoming closer to base FreeBSD, and since I'm running plenty of FreeBSD and PC-BSD elsewhere, the closer the better. I had not at that time encountered the highly charged discussions that took place between the two teams.
As much as OPNsense has worked out for me so far, it has certainly lacked the polish of a larger project. Some of the documentation was scanty to non-existent. So I'll be waiting a good four weeks before updating these hosts.
I did have one issue associated with a old PCI-based Intel network card. There's this thing about whether this card delivers interrupts as an electric signal or as a data packet. This particular card is right on the brink of when one method gave way in favour of the other. It has some ability to emulate the packet method, but obviously it's not rock solid, because the card would freeze up for ten minutes at a time once or twice a week. Then a watchdog would reset it and all would be normal again.
My fussing with sysctl didn't manage to lock the card into the right mode, for whatever reason, so I pulled the card and switched to the on-board LAN port (some ostensibly crappier thing) and it's worked perfectly ever since.
Congratulations to the OPNsense team for getting this far. I look forward to another uneventful six months.
Yes, but nobody who studies nutrition in the 21st century gives a flying fuck about the back of a torn business card energy-balance calculation, because food consumption patterns are tied to human behaviour and performance in a hundred other ways and most people wish to lose weight more for vanity than actual health reasons, while also continuing to cope with life stress—does anyone even take a shit any more without consulting their iDevice?—and maybe even dream a little in their spare moments.
Oh, look, scope creep! People wish to lose weight without becoming lethargic, depressed, and antisocial.
I think it's time for you to pony up, buddy, and replace that 19th century torn business card with a proper recycled-fibre-only cafeteria napkin. Step by step, century by century, deep down in my innermost heart of hearts I'm sure you can someday join the now-happening conversation.
Nice revenue model you've got there. Shame if a significant fraction of the internet public thinks it sucks shit, and we abet them in taking effective action on their expressed preference.
If you cannot see "any" similarity than I give up here.
Absolutely I can see the similarity.
I'm here to kick ass and chew bubblegum and I'm all out of limbs below the hipbone : Duke Nuken:: AdBlock : Mafia.
Without a personal statement from Mr Geshuri about how he views the ethics of his own past behaviour on which to base my judgement, I can't see how this appointment can reasonably move forward.
I sure hope the employee severed for failing to break the law as directed worked this into a fat severance settlement.
Most of bitcoin is controlled by china, and most of china's energy comes from old-fashioned coal. So, Blockchains as of now are a very very dirty technology.
Congratulations. You are now the proud owner of a double F minus in Fungibility 101.
Plus, bonus!
An exclusive membership is now heading your way to an elite social club which includes former Canadian politicians who asserted than none of the Canadian tritium headed to America was making its way into nuclear warheads (fine print: as America was very carefully devoting 100% of their own inadequate stockpile to that very purpose—but no worries, we've got clean tritium from Canada to satisfy all the rest of the demand).
Betcha didn't know that a double F minus in Fungibility 101 paves the road to a highly lucrative career on K street.
I had at least one of his books in the nineties, and while I remember him as making constructive contributions, there was always the code-correction smell of over promotion.
I'm pretty sure I bought one or two of his books via strong recommendations by P. J. Plauger.
These books weren't harmful, and actually set the stage for real learning, which came like one lightening bolt after another from some obscure tome by Edsger W. Dijkstra.
The ultimate difference being that one of these men could successfully preach to the enterprise, the other couldn't.
Since when did MS seriously worry about compatibility between versions?
Q: Since when did abattoirs care about inducing stress in doomed cattle walking the ramp?
A: Ever since Temple Grandin showed them it was the easiest way to get the cattle to enter the building with the least effort in the most desirable condition.
I've been following Microsoft since forever.
True story: I went to a local homebrew meeting in the late seventies (I live on the Canadian side of the Pacific Northwest) and people were muttering already (during an especially boring presentation) about this kid in Seattle who had already made himself a MILLION dollars.
Bill, being somewhat autistic himself, fully understood everything Grandin knows about cattle from day one.
Microsoft has devoted more gut-busting work behind the scenes into greasing the skids of eternal lock-in than any other computer company that has ever existed.
The problem they create for themselves in this regard is almost impossible to truly fathom. The "choke off the competitive air supply" side of their business model means rushing into every burgeoning market with the shallowest piece of shit that ticks boxes. How they even manage to back-fill these products to the state of "almost works" lies well beyond my technical comprehension.
Make no mistake about it, Microsoft is the gemstone-encrusted Swiss watchmaker of the polished turd.
The reason Microsoft talks about "innovation" until they are blue in the face is because they really don't want to talk in public about the technically daunting process by which their sausage is actually made.
The alternative being to start/stop nowhere in particular? To shroud the issue in a quantum haze of indeterminacy? Here's what every slippery-sloper knows deep in his heart of hearts: you fundamentally get the job done with a single unsuppressed stroke.
I'm of the opinion that Microsoft sees this as their main chance, with the near term arrival of "instant suspend / resume" in the laptop form factor, because otherwise, who the hell cares about the 3% annual performance increment that Intel presently eeks out year over year?
[human institution X] on verge of [lights-out calamity Y]
The human project has been on the verge for close on to sixty million years now.
The entire Africa phase was a close-run affair, and we've been witnessing the longest, slowest improvement in recorded history ever since. Of course, the fatal wings of Armageddon flit past faster now than they once did, almost to where they have blended into a smooth hum.
In modern times, spotting "the" verge is a lot like trying to read posters affixed onto telephone poles while you're zooming past on the highway, except when you're not paying enough attention to the steering wheel causing you to subconsciously veer into the object that fixates your attention—at which point the fine print on the poster becomes momentarily all too clear.
Moral of the story: rubberneck verge spotting is not a good long term survival strategy.
Scarecrow Video claims a library of 120,000 titles.
My local video store, which last updated it's count at 10,000 (this might have been more than a decade ago) has 99% of all movies I've ever wanted to watch. In rare cases, there have been some insular, self-congratulatory documentaries about the movie industry that they don't stock that my inner movie geek had decided I wanted to watch.
Another case was where the movie had only ever been released on VHS. Their VHS copy died after fifteen years and they refused to replace it with another VHS.
That's about it. My 1% failure rate over the 500 movies I've wanted to rent there amounts to roughly five thwarted titles. On Netflix Canada, I suspect I'd be getting a cutely rendered "404 Thwart On" message at least 40% of the time.
My preferred local video rental store (still in business as of last week) has 10,000 distinct titles in their back catalog (yes, most of them in archaeamorphic DVD). Any three titles $7 for a week.
Chugging them back on due date: kind of a pain in the ass.
Blowing off this entire discussion thread: all kinds of priceless.
I have a list of 500 highly regarded movies we have already watched, and another 250 highly regarded movies pending in my watch queue. I never come away from the video store with less than three movies from my WQ top ten, and more often than not, it's a perfect three-bagger.
Kind of like the book compared to the e-book. Books actually worked pretty well for a long time, and they still rock compared to e-books if the conversation involves Sony or Amazon, just to name two companies at the beheading head of another personal queue.
The fact that a BIOS fix will take care of it is a sign that it is not that egregious.
For a given value of performance expectation, as purchased.
One might be a little bit cheesed to discover that the entire hardware floating point subsystem has been replaced with on chip emulator, which additionally wires down half of your L2 cache to host the microcode execution vectors and/or byte codes.
In the spirit of good will and transparency, I hope to see Intel recirculate the original sample chips to all the hardware review websites (whose benchmarks are still found all over the internet) so that these websites can all update their benchmarks (and conclusions, if necessary) to the new Skylake post-BIOS performance reality.
IOPs are rated at 210K and 140K for writes respectively.
In any SSD lacking infallible power-loss-protection, IOPs should never be cited at a queue depth > 4.
Of course, we can make a small exception for rainbow-eating Unicorns, whose data-center workloads don't require a corresponding level of data-center fault tolerance.
It shouldn't be a difficult matter for some one or two to author a Google AdBlock-Block Filter plug-in that removes search results that you can't (by choice and sanity) actually view, once enough demand exists.

Here's a conundrum—a real stumper if you plan to swallow his advice whole—they know what's really in all those automatic patches, and you don't.
