Well it is free so people have freedom to edit and have a repository of free software without jokes. But nobody has right to demand what goes to someone else's repository.

If glibc maintainers choose to make their own repository which Stallman has has no right demand anything they are free to do so. And then it becomes distributors freedom to choose who's repository they prefer.

What percentage of HIGH PAY ENGINEERING jobs in google have comp sci degrees, that's the true comparison. And then there is bigger issue here. It's really the obsession about percentages of women in X position. Here's another percentage what percentage of women and men didn't waste a thought on how they looked in their teenage years because they where so obsessed on how computers worked? I believe it is both very small and men are over represented there, and they are over represented in high paying computer jobs.

A nice project, but I didn't find the license for the source code. As without one no-one can really legally use parts of it for anything that can become serious.

Of course it might be that I have missed it or it is hidden somewhere. I hope it really exists somewhere in the repository, but I didn't find it. I might be too tired to find it and someone else has better luck.

No not really. The finger was about not giving enough details for opensource driver and pushing closed source blob instead. This issue is about closed source blob not supporting next gen linux desktop until the desktop has gotten enough market share to force them to.

i7 7820X is the CPU is probably the best system price/performance overall in the long run right now. Threadripper might be competing it depending on what you do but we don't know about it yet. For software developers having over 50% lead in compilation performance compared to ryzen 7 1800X (nightly build of chromium on visual studio) should make it a good choice.

A) In system price there are many components and that makes ultra cheap CPU:s in other vice identical configurations not so good price-performance.

B) Performance is really the performance differential from what you upgrade. And even more importantly the performance differential years from now to systems of that time, if you upgrade to a system that lasts 5 years before you upgrade or to a system that lasts 7 years before you upgrade is significant in terms of price/performance because later means you get the high performance early and price last longer.

C) Significantly higher single threaded performance compared to Ryzen 7 the main contender. There are still many tasks that are single threaded, especially if you run legacy code.

D) AVX-512 I doubt the review benchmarks are in AVX-512 but some legacy code. AVX-512 increases both width of vector and fraction of code and algorithms that can be parallerized significantly. Once compilers are well tuned to use AVX-512 the code compiled with AVX-512 optimizations turned on should be significantly faster than what it was before hand. Simply being able to do 8-16 times work per cycle in large variety of tasks is significant advantage even if that is for a good fraction of time instead of all the time.

Personally I7-920 has given me far better price-performance compared to people who bought dual core at the time simply because it has lasted LONGER so it had superior price/(time between CPU upgrades) measurement. Right now in that same measurement I7-7820X is the king.

So in conclusion I7-7820X is faster in both real legacy code and the future code, and gives good enough performance longer simply because code that you run when you would start considering upgrades run much faster on it simply because of extensions.

Wow. This is amazing, perfect keybindings.

Lots of keys combined with Meta(alt)+Control key, the optimum keybinding for window manager, those two keys are always unused in user programs. Its really perfect for emacs, no-one has imagined to use those two keys with some random key, on any of emacs packages or modes.

Poor me have binded my windowmanager commands with Super(windows) + (what ever command key I use for it.

Tim Ferris: Four Hour Workweek . Eliminate, Automate, Delegate...

It can give you ideas on how to delegate more.

Secondly figure out how to retain developers. If it causes you stress and hiring is real expense then you should invest in fixing it. Make developer work environment as good as possible and maybe pay slightly above market pay.Your job is to fix the environment to reduce turn over to compensate the boring product with other factors they value.

I would say that the issue is more like you like certain kinds of content and streaming services are not split among content types but among who makes the shows. And that you want to watch all the exclusive top shows that are made for dragging people to their streaming platform. I'm in Finland and I would be happy if could select 2-3 streaming services from American selection. But only real options HBO and Netflix with 38% of what they show in USA and a third option which was so terrible for me that I wouldn't even consider it.

A really good article for NSA to check who has read it.

This basic income experiment has plenty of flaws. Many people get DOUBLE that from government as benefits anyway, so the premise of that experiment is flawed. The disintensives for smallish amount of work still continue. Finland has additional benefits for rent, additional benefits for supported children and increases to standard unemployment benefits for having to support children. This isn't really the basic income as most people understand it. It really doesn't replace benefits bureaucracy with something more streamlined that deals away with disincentives. By disintensives I mean the situation in which reduction of benefits and cost of getting to work eat the salary and there is almost nothing left from the work if its a part time job.

Yes. And for renewables with battery backup would require 375 GwH of storage to get a reasonable two week minimum to be considered reliable backup for a equal electicity producion. You can calculate easily 24 * 14 * 1.117 Its not about just how much long sun is up, its about snowstorms and ice.

The model selected maybe problematic. A) There are additional benefits for helping to pay rent which are income dependent. B) There are special circumstantial increases to benefits replaced by basic income, that state has to pay inorder to fill its constitutional equality requirements. For instance increases in unemployment for dependent children, expenditures for education program participation for unemployed... Now testsubjects get them by applying for them. Whats potential problem is what it takes to LOOSE them, its a risk factor on every action to earn temporarily, or taking a risky move to try to start a business. Latter causes also a high risk at the end of experiment, unless you have folded it long before end of experiment.

Actually, its not that its a personal choice question. There are real differences in what different sexes value. What you choose to spend your free time on? How much you value stability? What you enjoy doing? How risk averse you are? How much you value having more free time? What hobbies you have?

There are real differences there between sexes, and those preferences affect what career is the best for you. You don't pick whats average for you, you pick your best career with all things considered, and small differences in preferences can skew the outcomes heavily. Also I like to point out there is bunch of careers where there is heavy shortage of MEN choosing it for same reasons.

The people who would be willing to sacrifice having kids for climate reasons, should have two kids. You don't want to have next generation where everyone's parents don't care.

I have idea, but as something with any idea from internet you should use your own brain to figure if it has merit.

Write everything down about your idea in a paper. Then store it somewhere safe. Let it go for a while, and concentrate on law school first year. Check if you can bring second year courses, to your first year. Check if you can study in the next summer also. Then if you can graduate in 17-22 months do it. If you can't do that, but can move workload from later years to first year then do that and be able to work on your idea in later years of your school more freely. Design your law school experience to get back to your idea in either 17-22 months from now as graduated lawyer, or 10-22 months from now part time because you have more free time in your school scheduler. This way your idea is motivator for you to work harder in your law school, instead of distraction. Your goal is to get as soon as possible able to work on your idea full time or with serious amount of time instead of splitting your attention between two.
