   Yes. Then add a service on the OS that fetches the libraries for any binary. It's not a complicated thing. It's been obvious to me for years that this is how exact version linking should work. Linux at least has library versioning

   They've never been really great, but my point is that they added more value then than they do now. One critical value they once provided was to discover and popularize new styles. They don't do that anymore at all. Last time they

   Same thing has happened in music. Record labels used to add a lot of value via scouting out raw talent and new forms of music and then pairing that talent with producers who could polish and refine it. Now they just churn out identical soun

   Then you'll get weird errors. Everyone distributes the whole universe because it just works. Docker is the same idea for services.

   It's 2017 and we still can't distribute software or manage libraries. For some reason content addressability based on hashes for libraries has never occurred to anyone.

   Then why is it so damn hard to raise anything when you have a product that works and traction? Of course reality always pales in comparison to what might lie behind door number two.

   There are infinitely many arbitrary statements. Prove the entire universe wasn't created as is (including all your memories) five minutes ago. These are neither true nor false in a factual sense. They are untestable.

   Those objections (fishes, etc.) only apply to literalism.

   Politicians and pundits mostly live in coastal megacities. Everything is fine there. Why do they not eat cake?

    This is yet another barrier to entry for the working class. If the poor try to use tax loopholes they get nailed. The rich can afford tax lawyers to make sure they're doing it right.

    Oh sure you can hack these things. That's why the woman in the article dyed her hair brown and got glasses. It's depressing that it's necessary. If two people present something to me I should be evaluating the something, not

    My wife dyed her hair blonde once and noted a noticable change in how she was treated. She described it as people being nicer to her but also sort of taking her less seriously. She also got hit on a lot more. She went back to her normal bro

    Build vertical. I'm not saying there are no limits but land shortage is only an issue in city cores.

    They do the same thing with housing. If supply adjusted to demand a starter house would not be 500k to 1m. Nothing about it costs that much.

    ... and here we have one of the largest problems with the federated model of decentralization. Who wants to be in a province when they could wait for an account in Rome? Throw in a DHT and a key pair for every user and you could fully divor

    If the FCC doesn't regulate this could you use this for metro mesh networks? Of course I assume you'd have to be rigorous about avoiding leakage.

    On the higher speed front: has anyone looked into 802.11ah (900mhz wifi) or any of the smart "TV white space" stuff? It's standardized but I can't find any hardware on the market. There is a company near us (Irvine, CA)

    Hollywood had a terrible summer because they made a lot of movies nobody wants to see. This summer's films were all awful or too derivative and predictable.

    This would so fly (pun intended) in the LA metro area. There are tons of rich people who would pay for 20 minutes from e.g. Santa Monica to Irvine when the drive can easily be two hours around rush hour.

    I am a confirmed packrat. When I hear a really interesting podcast, obscure piece of music, etc. I mirror it to local storage... especially if it's political. Storage is cheap. Doesn't even have to be 'verboten' politica

    That's a good point. It's probably more a cache thing than a CPU cycles thing and that might not show up on a straightforward CPU profile. What would happen if you used special instructions to try to implement a non-cache-pollutin

    Is the obsession with avoiding memory copying really justified? I'd like to see some data. Is this really a bottleneck in modern systems? Is TLS a bottleneck at all for most work loads?

    The trouble is that urban real estate hyperinflation prices out all the stuff that makes cities cool. Eventually they just become big overpriced corporate office parks.

    Forget about Russia. Maybe, maybe not. The real story here is how absurdly insecure electronic voting systems are. It's a double scandal because many of the companies that built them such as Diebold have extensive experience building s
