It is like a holy war straight out of Monty Python. Everybody told them that they could choose which to run, but they just couldn't comprehend it. Were they supposed to say some sort of incantation afterwards? "You can use whichever you want, hontou ni hontou! Jingjing!"
I think it is pretty funny. I love systemd, but I really hate NetworkManager. If it is a laptop or something that is stuck on wifi then it is OK, but if I have a real network I can't imagine wanting that nonsense bouncing my connections.
Even on Fedora you can run SysVinit if you want. People get their neckbeards all twisted up over the mere dependency that the packaging system has. I mean, they're so exclusive, they can't tolerate that the unused default software might have a few bits installed. As if any of it was really that exclusive and royal to begin with! And as if the default [everything else] isn't also installed?! It makes sense in a lot of cases to just install the default, and if you want to use something else, you also install that. It isn't always going to be a full replacement, because that's just extra packages to manage.
Embedded systems are separate distros, so I know it isn't the 128k of disk space.
No, nobody's livelihood depends on buying a BrandyBrandy(TM) tractor. A farmer who needs a tractor, just needs a freakin' tractor. The Rain God doesn't punish them for buying a Honda.
If they're willing to sign themselves into a service contract, they darn well better have thought about it or else they shouldn't be doing that. Just like, they shouldn't take out a loan without carefully considering the pros and cons.
If they understand it isn't a hobby, they should take that sort of decision seriously and not sign their life away willy-nilly. And if the moron buys a BrandyBrand(TM) and signs the contract, and then gets screwed on the servicing, and their response is to buy another fucking one, then they deserve everything they get. But a fucking Honda as a backup, duh.
Other than "expiration" or "sell by" date, how would an tag or RFID sensor/reader track when something is going bad?
Because the "sensor" is a webcam and the "cloud" is somebody in India who glances at your fridge every day and orders you some ghee because your diet doesn't look healthy enough.
I don't really expect Wally World to come out with actual cutting edge sensor technology, that's just an absurdity.
Almost all firms with employees are small. They make up 99.2 percent of all employers in the state.Table 3 offers further industry detail on small firms.
Firms with fewer than 100 employees have the largest share of small business employment.
The three industries with the most small business employment were: accommodation & food services; health care & social assistance; and professional, scientific, & technical services.
In California, small businesses created 104,360 net new jobs in 2011. The biggest gain was in the smallest firm size category of 1-4 employees.
When you hear about California having a huge economy that would be a major country on its own, they're mostly talking about the small businesses. They have large businesses too, of course.
Well, I thought he meant he was starting a new job as an actor.
Luckily he is here to correct me in my understanding of how easy or difficult it is to convey information in various languages.
Like Larry Wall said, "I started trying to teach myself Japanese about 10 years ago, and I could speak it quite well, because of my phonology and phonetics training – but it’s very hard for me to understand what anybody says. So I can go to Japan and ask for directions, but I can’t really understand the answers!"
I recommending thinking less, and reading more. It may be that there are millions of people in the world studying language and education and there just might be extant experiential data on the difficulty of learning various popular languages.
Thai of course is very difficult because the writing system is obfuscated Sanskrit. Any language designed to be unintelligible to people in neighboring countries with similar spoken language is going to be a real bear. Thai people with poor English can often read English faster than Thai!
California's actual history in the Universe in which you're leaving the comment is that they're one of the most business-friendly places on the whole planet.
No, the google app is called "Google App," not "Google." It is the search app.
It runs when you do a generic search while not in a browser, for example by swiping from the "home" button. It also provides a widget that you can place on the screen to do searches. And running that app will provide a button to activate a voice search, which is useful for people that don't have voice controls turned on all the time.
I'm "not as young as I used to be" and I don't answer calls either. Unless it is my SO.
If people were capable of limiting synchronous communication to transferring important information, I'd answer it.
They don't, so if they want to communicate they're going to need to use an asynchronous method for sure. Or wait until my physical location is synchronized with theirs for some reason.
It does not matter how many of them there are, it is not relevant. If other people learn Chinese is up to those other people, not to China.
Perceived "stagnation" of American business is not going to stop Germans from using English to talk to engineers in China. Events in America are not going to give a difficult non-phonetic writing system any sort of comparative advantage compared to languages that use writing systems based on Latin. It doesn't matter how awesome they are, they're going to have to use a different language to communicate with other people who are less awesome.
Spanish seems like a good choice, but it turns out few people speak it. It is the most useful second language for Americans, but the list of places that speak it is mostly a list of small countries in one region. Portuguese is more likely, because Brazil is big enough to become a world power. But that would have to happen first.
Swahili is probably more likely than either of those IMO. It is written with a Latin alphabet, it is spoken across a wide region by a lot of people, and adults successfully learn the basics in a short amount of time.
Yeah, and once you've read the past and future histories you realize that all that psychic knowledge might not be very fulfilling compared to just huddling in a cave somewhere.
If BASIC is a virus that causes brain damage, Scratch might very well be a disguised Argonaut.
I do think it is useful to have programming languages that are purported to be easy, so that these people will give it a try and find out that it is too hard for them. Anybody who does it and is good at it is going to quickly understand the limitations and move on with no harm done.
And every UNIX gnome knows that black magic is not permitted in userspace. Not even in your favorite daemon.
Malnutrition doesn't result from diet choices, it results from insufficient access to food. If you were trying to choose a different Mediterranean diet and couldn't find enough food, that is the same as if you're trying to eat a Paleo diet and couldn't find enough food.
If you want to compare diets, you have to compare what happens when you do eat that diet, not when you fail to eat that diet. If you only eat Woolly Rhino and you can't find any Woolly Rhino and you die of starvation that tells us nothing fucking at all about the healthfulness of a diet that did in fact consist of Woolly Fucking Rhino.
That's why you should stop trying to think, and start trying to learn what the fuck is going on around you.
And what explains high mortality rates of Woolly Rhino hunters is that hunting Woolly Rhino is fucking hard. And when the next tribe over shows up to club you over the head, you might just run as fast as you can and leave Jr. behind with anybody else that can't run fast enough to escape, because life in forest is fucking hard. And it isn't hard because of your food choices.
And people who do have enough food, and do have physical security, lived to about the same max age as modern people.
Next you'll probably discover that Russian food is unhealthy because lots of Russian men die in their 50s. Or do we have to consider confounding variables?

No it isn't.
Just use Fedora, and choose sysvinit.
Duh.

I've always found that to be a very interesting theory, I wish society would explore it a little more deeply.
There is a cleaner version at http://progmofo.com/ but it doesn't have the Manifesto, just the programming links.
They sell the T-shirt in different versions, you can get it in ROT13 if you want to be SFW.

Yeah, most of it while driving.
They learn English starting in elementary school.

Thinly disguised Buddhists, just more of that Eastern Chinese mumbo-jumbo... Watch out for them. They're as crazy as the moonies..
The Buddha taught that if you do not understand something through your own experience, you should just ignore it.
Don't waste your time looking out for it.
Follow the path that you have chosen.
Why not both? Here is a great site that teaches programming for free and also provides free philosophy lessons:

Please read the Manifesto, it could change your life!

And people who do have enough food, and do have physical security, lived to about the same max age as modern people.
Next you'll probably discover that Russian food is unhealthy because lots of Russian men die in their 50s. Or do we have to consider confounding variables?
Under narrow enough preconditions I'm sure it is even true.
