   We don't really need traders anymore. Stock pickers won't disappear, though, because it's much harder to automate (it would be akin to having a real artificial intelligence).

   Really? It doesn't make much sense to have bonuses for automation since it's largely a group effort. And that's probably the main reason why those performance bonuses are disappearing.

   I don't see a difference between DDG and Google for content that is new to me (because I can't possibly know better), but if I'm trying to retrieve one page in particular (i.e. use Google as a smart bookmark), in my experienc

   I know that website has been heavily censored, so it's possible there is fool play here, but it's also possible that it's simply different algorithms. If Google weighs links to a certain page, it's not a stretch to imagi

   That's not a bad idea. You'll need some sort of mechanism to make sure they don't step on each other's toes, but otherwise it's a sound concept, not unlike MS-DOS.

   That's not awesome at all, it means something happening every 6 months. In corporate environments this means all the ceremony around it: tickets, CAB, etc. Meanwhile you can use RHEL or CentOS and basically leave the thing alone for 5

   I would not put too much weight into those benchmarks. Those micro-benchmarks are useful to detect performance regressions between commits in a same system, not to compare different systems. Aggregating micro-benchmarks is even less sensibl

   It seems to me like a list of things the Linux community is working on; and I think that's a bit of the problem with FreeBSD. For a long time, it was known as the "high-reliability / high-performance server OS". But Linu

    You do the slow (bcrypt, argon2 or whatever) hash in the browser, and then the server can do the hyper-fast hash (SHA256). You can still flood the server, but you're flooding it with things that take microseconds to compute, instead of

    Not just the politicians. The very people commenting that it's a great thing with "great food" (surprisingly the most common argument) don't live there either.

    They were brought in as guest workers. French governments tried to restrict or revert immigration a few times (in the seventies I think) but it did not work. And now, in Brest, deep down (or west) into Breton (Celt) territory, we have a rad

    No one is saying that culture is fixed and immutable. If you put X million people of <Y> origin somewhere, you'll end up with <Y> culture there. That's precisely the problem. Do you support mass immigration of European

    The thing is, backup can mean different things. Those free/cheap "backup" snapshot things are obviously the equivalent of vim backup files. It's useful if you screw up and want to revert two hours later. You have to be f

    They can document it as anything. A backup has to be isolated; different physical location, different medium, different provider. What if the technical infrastructure works as advertised, but the company goes into receivership for whatever

    You can't change other people. If they don't care about reviewing your stuff I don't see why they would care about you pushing your stuff either, so just do that. Keep the reviews open because it doesn't hurt.

    I see a few people in this thread making the mistake of thinking France went nuclear for cost or environmental reasons. The main motivation was geopolitical. You don't need a lot of uranium (less than 10,000 tonnes a year), you can sto

    I don't have any figure or analysis, but I would actually expect arson to be worse, since lightning strikes are more or less random whereas a skilled arsonist can theoretically start the fire in the right place (upwind, etc.)

    I'm not really convinced by the argument regarding value-based pricing, because that's just not how markets work. The clearing price (in this case, of labor) is based on demand AND supply; it has nothing to do with how much value

    I don't think many people ignore the science. Quite a few of us do ignore the over-the-top doom saying and fear mongering, and the patronizing tone.
