Me too. Since my grandmother was a child, we've always had German Shepherds in our family. When I was a kid for the first time our dogs started getting hip dysplasia. My mother and grandmother had never seen before, despite being involved in the dog training community.

I’ve had 2 purebreds in a row with major health issues, even though I searched for working line breeders. I’ve given up on purebreds, and now have a GSD mix. He’s a gorgeous animal, going on 11 without any hip issues or health issues.

The AKC in their pursuit of the perfect look and willful ignorance of genetics has destroyed the German Shepard breed.

For anyone wondering who he was or his contributions:

> Manning has been working in the Internet industry since 1979 when he started working at Texas Instruments and helped in building its IP network. After which he joined Rice University and made SESQUINET. He played a significant role in the migration of MIDNET and SESQUINET from NSFnet regional networks to commercial networks.

> He worked on the COREN and CALREN-2 technical committees. At ISI he worked in the Routing Arbiter Project.

> Bill has been working with the the IETF and IEPG as an individual participant, working group chair, and code developer. He specfied the method to add NSAP support to the DNS.

I've seen this accusation thrown out there on social media a few times now. When I've asked for examples, no one been able to provide a list showing that this is actually a systemic problem. With resources like the Internet Archive it should be trivial to prove that this really a problem. Can you back up your claims?

Journalists are people and make mistakes. But overall, respected institutions like NYT, WSJ, WaPo, and Bloomberg show good journalistic integrity and print retractions in both print and online.

If you really are seeing this problem regularly, i suggest you find better sources for your news. Above all avoid getting it from social media. The actual fake news that is rampant there is a much, much bigger threat to our society than the few bad apples or mistakes behind the problem you are describing.

When I want to get back to a pristine state, I prefer

$ git reset --hard origin/master

over the suggested

$ git reset --hard HEAD

If you use git and don't know the difference, read this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8196544/what-are-the-git...

> a natural question would be "why are you starting a GNAT LLVM project from scratch instead of building on top of DragonEgg?". If you want to know the answer, check the file README.dragonegg in the repository!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but from the README [1], the answer appears to be:

> The dragonegg plugin works with gcc 4.5, 4.6, 4.7 or 4.8

But a little more digging reveals that there are patches so[2]

> DragonEgg works for for GCC v8.x

Lack of Google-fu or am I missing something? If they believed dragonegg is flawed, why not just lay it out? I prefer that over a goose chase that doesn't fully check out.

Hangouts Chat

* Can't communicate with anyone without GSuite

* Can't talk with our customers who use GSuite on another domain.

* Can't communicated with the "old" Hangouts, so it's utterly useless.

Another failure from Google. Whatever management structure incentivizes this crap needs to be fixed, if they ever want to expand out of their current domains.

Google had a winner with Hangouts. Instead they left it to die, while they moved on to Duo, Allo, and now Hangouts Chat. Meanwhile slack stepped in and took what should have bee their market.

Besides high quality hardware support and device availability. The fact of the matter is the core of Android is OPEN SOURCE. I can and have built every last bit of software on my Moto X4 thanks to LineageOS, which is based on AOSP.

> Drivers written for Vista didn't necessarily work on Windows 7

This is patently, provably FALSE[1]

MS goes out of their way to NOT to break APIs. My ancient ATI netbook can run Windows Vista graphics drivers on Win 10. MS only breaks driver API when massive kernel/underlying APIs demand it. ex. 98->NT, XP->Visa.

Now contrast that with Linux. Linux kernel devs are openly hostile to binary blob drivers so they make no attempt to preserve ABI stability. I've see this happen multiple times with ATI binary drivers in GNU/Linux and when I was running cyanogenmod on my phone.

If you don't mind using a desktop app, there are still many great tools for hobbyists and for teaching.

Recently I've used: Qucs: https://sourceforge.net/projects/qucs/

Circuitmod: https://sourceforge.net/projects/circuitmod

These were also in my bookmarks of tools I've explored: CEDAR Logic Simulator: https://sourceforge.net/projects/cedarlogic

Logisim: https://sourceforge.net/projects/circuit/

For teaching LogicWorks is still my favorite.

Can't speak for OP, but I tried migrating some of our workflow to Windows. First annoyance I hit was this one:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30418886/how-and-why-doe...

This may be by design, but there has to be a better way. Unix/Linux consoles have allowed mouse copy/paste for as long as I can remember and I've never experienced this bug over there.

Really annoying when you go out to lunch with a job running, only to come back to find that it's right where you left it. So many solutions to this problem like making the copy/paste mode harder to trigger accidently. Visual feedback that it's in that mode, or allowing the buffer to expand indefinitely when copy mode is triggered.

Pausing the job is the last thing I'd want, especially since this seems to easy to trigger accidentally.

Take WordPress press for example. If you've never before setup a LAMP stack to run WordPress, you probably be running a WordPress container. And if you don't regular check the log files and monitor system resources, then you're asking for these problems.

I wouldn't run a server with a pirated version of Windows and I wouldn't run a dodgy container from an untrustworthy source. Yet people do. I wouldn't blame MS for a pirated Windows that came with malware like I wouldn't blame containers for this either. It's all about Trust.

We supplement our dogs raw diet with grasshopper flour.[1] I chose that along with eggs as a more humane source of protein.

I've eaten bugs in Thailand(they were actually quite tasty), but I haven't had the urge to try this flour yet.

Great article, thanks for sharing.

spoiler: FCC part was clever, but what fakery? Are you talking about the "golden path" or something else I missed after a quick read?

There are nearly 10 million lines of code in libreoffice, and yet I can and have built it from source just by typing:

1. $ git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core

2. $ apt-get build-dep libreoffice

3. $ ./autogen.sh && make

Just because something has a large code base doesn't mean we shouldn't be able to build it from source ourselves.

> GNU Make, just using hashes instead of timestamps

Sounds like you're describing make on a system with ccashe installed. Hashing incurs a significant performance hit. The first build with ccashe is 20% slower than building without it[1]. Your modern make would likely be slower for people who just build something from source once and aren't doing incremental development.

Back on my first computer a 486, I had a flat Trinitron monitor. So at least in my case, the curvature would actually make the experience less authentic if I felt like reliving the Doom and Duke3d gaming of my youth.

Hackers like George Hotz can and have decided to equip their cars with AI.[1] Again, how is this any different?

[1] https://www.theverge.com/2017/7/7/15933554/george-hotz-hacki...

People are hacking on everything from micro-drones to full sized cars. Why single out this platform? Explosive on drones or automated weapons on cars could all be misused.

I can just as easily mount a weapon to my car and drive around killing people. How is this any different?

It's a soft paywall. It's only triggered when an IP exceeds the monthly quota of free content. OP or someone on his subnet has been enjoying their journalism, but doesn't want to support it.

It the post-truth world, I have no problem supporting these news organizations whose content I regularly consume.

Yes, that's the logic behind GNOME's move, but it doesn't address the user's concerns. First of all they are removing code of a popular feature before it has been replaced. Secondly, they are adding to code duplication by creating 2 totally separate code bases.

In both OS X and Windows your desktop is just a folder with a background set to icon grid view. From right clicking to dragging, the UX is and should be identical to the file manager. So it makes sense to have that part of the UI handled by the program that's already a file browser.

Now a developer is going to recreate all of the features provided by Nautilus in a JavaScript and CSS extension. Any differences will make a janky experience for the end user.

> building coral and sea life is super simple

No. First you need an unpolluted area of ocean with the right conditions. And even then, thinking like yours can create more problems than it solves. Just look how the Osborne artificial reef actually led to an environmental disaster and massive cleanup effort.

Back when I was a kid, I used to regularly use finger check Carmack's .plan to see what he was up to.[1] Having never given this much thought, if you asked me about the origins of social media, I would have talked about MySpace and Friendster. Now I'd probably begin with talk and finger.

When I need to adjust my sleep pattern for work or travel, melatonin has been a big help. Food and light exposure also seem to play a big role in my recovery time. If you haven't already enable Night Light / Red shift to cut out evening blue light.

None of these will turn a night owl into a early riser but they will help you adjust when needed.

Hundred? If the wood is touching soil, try a few decades at best. I just replaced an old rotted out deck that was all pressure treated lumber. Also EPA considers it a hazardous waste.

https://www.epa.gov/ingredients-used-pesticide-products/chro...

Your theory sounds good until you consider the practical aspects of the last step:

> Be careful not to burn them. Repeat

So what do you do with the wood? A billion years ago, your plan would have worked out brilliantly. Some say it's where our oil came from. But now we have fungus among us that evolved to rapidly turn your wood right back into CO2.

Unless you sterilize the wood and bury it deep in the ground where it will never be exposed to air or spores, you're right back to square one. Also there's the logistics and carbon footprint of burying and sterilizing the wood.

You're not the first person to think of this:

I need a workaround at work, but not at home. You're probably on a IP that has heavily used the free content.

And for those of us who are not frequent consumers of their content, we don't even need a work-around. The paywall only kicks in after a quota has been hit.

It's a soft paywall that only kicks in after you have used up your monthly free quota. If are a regular visitor, you should consider a subscription. Otherwise, you have 2 options.

A) Open the link incognito mode

B) Go to http://archive.is/ and enter the link there.

Quality journalism costs money. I actually prefer WSJ, NTY, and WaPo's approach of pushing for a subscription model over ad based models.
