formula1

I think most developers know not to eval()

Why would you execute arbitrary text in any other languages?

You may be right about this.

I don't think an underclass living on ramen noodles is very humane

So that's the spending requirement for a reasonably comfortable life. Good to know

Seals what? People talking about big ideas that are hard to solve?

While I appreciate the idea that nature is hard to predict. We have seen many cases where nature has a predictible flow. Now, predicting it and influencing it are two different concepts. And while a board based on mania and joy of free thought may be predictable, influence it may be more difficult due to an effective way of self preservation and reliance on truth based entertainment

Unions are meant to be a democracy. If you and others had a problem with the way it was run, ideally you could change it. The fact that you felt it was an organizational issue leads me to believe there is an issue with the leadetship

Why would spending money on a brand new system with no proof of success be better than a matured application with plugin support?

I would argue competent and effective management by people who view profits worth more than ensuring everyone can enjoy life. These people aren't idiots, they understand game theory, supply and demand and cost cutting to the point they are paid absurd amounts to do the work they do. In my opinion, techs problem is that the builders/maintainers trust leadership not to cut off their heads. Only friends are safe.

You know who creates the "ai masters"? Corporations

You know what coorperations view as a "win condition"? Monopoly and profits

You know what nature is? An obstacle or opportunity along the way towards such goals.

At no point is preservation of an "outdated" and "inefficient" system complimenting such goals.

If you can make an ai view life as more than a number and make ai into "eco system tenders" rather than judge jury and executioner, then it's possible that the ai master would work consider nature worth saving

I think the topic about equsl pay is much more heated than why women arent into engineering. To be honest, engineering is a lie. You are hired as a upgraded mechanic and they want to pay you as cheaply as possible. Nobody cares if your talented, creative or have a great personality. The ideal programmer shutsup, is efficient, is free and provides more than the customer asks.

The reason why women dont get into engineering is probably associated to their disgust with that kind of work. "Intelligence" means nothing when you only have enough power that your boss gives you. Aka, enough power to do your work or get replaced

This is neat. This isnt quite javascript (which is neither good nor bad) but I think has a lot of potential

Perhaps its just pessimism but there likely never be a pardon for Snowden. Once and if Snowden is pardoned, the military has now made it "acceptable" to comprimise secrets. Though Snowden is arguably in the moral right, if someone does this sort of thing for poor/naive reasons and if the knowledge is more sensitive (such as Hiraldo Rivera explaining exact locations and plans on a broadcast) there may be a much bigger problem.

I think the closest Snowden will likely get is an honorable burial in US or have a bill named after him. But I highly doubt either party will pardon him.

Because theres no use for it besides activity people want to do anonymously (often illegal) or avoidance of state economies (like venezuala). Outside of that, its mostly speculation and hoarding.

I, being one of the few people on HN that like OOP, dont find anything you mentioned that organized, clean or simplified like oop.

No copy is available in rust. Overloading a generic function seems like we are talking about interfaces. A preprocessor step again is similar to rust.

But only the second has anything to do with writing in oop

Dogs are a good example of symbiotic relationships in relation to altruism. If you give an animal free stuff, they may return you a favor. Humans, though arguably more complicated, have a long history of group hunting and enslaving eachother. While under an alpha, a system naturally develops. However, if that alpha dies or another human wants to rise up, being kind is a way to gain allies.

Additionally, when at large scale war, often you can trust your cultural bretheran better than the enemy. As a result, its important to have as many healthy and proud people as possible inorder to go to war. A culture of kindness and giving can support that.

Additionally, this is all about genetics. While there is always an argument that your genes are the best genes, cultural agreement can give faith that the best will rise and flourish. Treating your neighbor as you would yourself reinforces the hope that even in failure of the individual, the group can still succeed.

Im sure theres more

I appreciate the inspirstion, I'll see to get started on it tonight. I was looking into fuse before which inspired much pf the filesystem shinanigans

Many of the features are certainly inspired by mobile and docker and related technologies certainly it seem possible.

I guess writing a new kernal is more for rasberry pi/odroid/dev boards? In that case having a detailed explaination on it would be nice

I know Ive wanted to make changes to my own for a while. At very least default ui, menus and shortcuts after installation. These are modtly ux changes though

Additionally theres a few features I would prefer from a security user experience standpoint

- symlinks are indexed anD the move or deletion of the target would trigger a "would you like to change/delete the symlink as well?"

- all applications run in a container

- the application can never touch os filesystem or know about other apps but themself and what the user allows

- requests for hardware trigger permission dialog

- requests for files are handled outside the container

- shared folders are mounted to the container that the user knows are vulnerable

- some folders are an aggregate of the applications folders but the application only views its own

- deletion of an applications folder will permanently delete all if its data. No messy installations or artifacts

- system monitor shows cpu, memory and network usage per application

- applications require permission to use network and outward calls can be captured before being made

Additionally there are features from a dev standpoint

- there is a discoverability system for modified and alternative applications

- there is a focus on ensuring all parts of the os are easily found and modified

- changes to the os filesystem creates forces the user to create a virtual machine, make changes to that then "commit" those changes in bulk

- the user can make these patches available online along with keywords, problem and a tutorial inorder to recreate for discoverability

- heavy focus on user interfaces that can be reused in terminal and gui. Applications that only are available in one or have different experiences will be flagged as such.

But I canonly make this if I know how

Do you use X11 on arch or no? Ubuntu has been having weird network problems and sleep problems for me. Looking into it has led to little to no answers. Im assuming the annoying part about arch will be trying to get a relatively simple desktop experience but most tutorials take you down quite a path to get there it seems

Great article. I remember when I tried toying around with fedora A while back, I thought that redhat would surely have a better product than debian. Its not just fedora. Ubuntu also has some frustrating issues in 16.04. I dont particularly want to install a nonfree operating system and I dont really imagine myself spending weeks trying to get an arch perfect. But sure do waste a lot of time in ubuntu :/

I would assume this is store by store. I doubt apple coorperate said "hey! Those weak retail workers dont deserve lunch breaks!". However, there may be a culture that exists to support it.

Probably not.

Probably not violating laws because they dont have the money to pay for lawyers and politicians

I think your giving more power to politics than they deserve. They are effectively Coorperations pawns

"It just works" isnt that accurate. Personally speaking, I recently upgraded from 14.04 to 16.04 ubuntu on my desktop only to have it stuck in some strange errors. 16.04 network manager is also quite a nuisance. On some networks it only provides a few http calls and drops everything else.

I still exclusively use linux os on all my computers because I am do ised to it now. Perhaps just ubuntu is poor quality nowadays (at least with 16.04) but linux desktop still has some ways to go

Im assuming they way they work is supply existing demand with a cheaper product. Much less risky than attempting to entire an untested market

Not sure your point. The claims here indicate that most plantations were american owned and that likely frustrated cubans to the point a revolution was intreresting. But immigration from cuba isnt just 1 time. There has been a consistant flood of migrants that risk their lives to escape. Back in the 90's there was the Emilio Gonzolez contreversey where the mom died to get her son to the US.

Did Magret Thatcher execute people? Did she create an air of fear and enforce isolationism at the expense of a country they ruled?

These are apples and oranges

All of them? There was no poverty in cuba after Castro? Those that spoke out were capitalist pigs and deserved their punishment?

Right after obama came to cuba there was a large influx of cubans who made the journey through the carribean to the us to gain the guarenteed citizenship [0]. Why would people risk their lives to leave? Are these individuals also upper class escaping slaughter?
