It is only the novice in political economy who thinks it is the duty of government to make its citizens happy. Government has no such office. To protect the weak and the minority from the impositions of the strong and the majorityto prevent any one from positively working to render the people unhappy, to do the labor not of an officious inter-meddler in the affairs of men, but of a prudent watchman who prevents outragethese are rather the proper duties of a government. Under the specious pretext of effecting the happiness of the whole community, nearly all the wrongs and intrusions of government have been carried through. The legislature may, and should, when such things fall in its way, lend its potential weight to the cause of virtue and happinessbut to legislate in direct behalf of those objects is never available, and rarely effects any even temporary benefit.

While minicomics are a fixture of conventions, and increasingly the Eisner Awards, it seems doubtful we'll encounter microcomics in artists alley anytime soon. Still, cartoonist Claudia Puhlfürst's "Juana Knits the Planet" is leading the charge.
The 12-panel comic strip has been etched onto a single human hair using a focused ion beam, " a very sharp and high-speed jet of matter is produced and directed towards the hair to etch it — similar to a fine laser beam."

How a Couple Merging Finances Does Money
Jennifer is a 29-year-old NGO program director who lives in Washington D.C.
So, Jennifer, tell us a bit about your finances.
My boyfriend and I recently moved in together (in January), and have since been experimenting with ways to merge finances. He also works as a program director at a different NGO, and our salaries are quite close (I'm $81,000 and he is $75,000) though that is due to fairly large raises we each got recently. We used to have more disparate incomes when we first moved in together.
He has a large-ish student loan (no consumer debt), and I have no debt. We live in an odd apartment that is strangely cheap for D.C.
We're still figuring out how much we merge money and what that means for us.
Let's look at your living situation first, because I know a bit about D.C. rents. How much are you paying, and what type of apartment are you living in?
So, we pay $875 for a two-bedroom apartment in a pretty central neighborhood—which doesn't actually make any sense, obviously. Rents where I live, for that size apartment, should be closer to $1,600-$1,800.
Right, that'd be about what I'd expect.
I "inherited" this apartment from a friend who moved, and assumed her lease; the rent goes up a tiny bit ($20 or so) per year, but that's it. There are just two units like this, and neither I nor my neighbor know why they exist. My theory is one day the landlord will realize that they should charge twice as much, so we're saving up for a down payment for some place else in the meantime. For now, we're enjoying spending so little on rent.
Got it. So on to your experiment. I'm interested in learning how you budget, if you contribute to a shared pot, how you handle discretionary expenses, and if there have been any surprises along the way.
Prior to moving in together we talked about this a lot. At the time I was making quite a bit more. We discussed going 50/50 on shared expenses (to be defined later), but it was important to me to not go 50/50, actually. I felt like we should contribute proportionately to our incomes. To me, going 50/50 felt like what I would do with a random roommate or a friend, not someone with whom I was merging my life.
Let's All Run Away to Europe Together
There is one purchase I didn't include in my weekend spending yesterday because it would have busted my budget big time: I spent $1,332.61 on a roundtrip ticket to Italy for a summer vacation trip I'm doing with a few friends. We still need to sort out lots of details: Cities we want to visit, accommodations in those cities, how we'll get around, what we'll want to spend on food and wine—but we're excited about it for lots of reasons. Some of those reasons are complicated (we're getting to an age where this kind of trip is increasingly less likely to happen in the future as our pals begin to have children and move to new cities and are less able to take a week off to run away to Europe, so it's feeling a little now or never), but one big reason is pragmatic: the dollar is strong and the euro is weakening. As publications like the Los Angeles Times and USA Today are putting it: This is the summer to travel to Europe.
"For those looking to save, Europe is a great option," says Brooke Ferencsik, director of communications for TripAdvisor, a travel booking site.
Booking.com has found that Americans may even pay less for accommodations in Europe than one in the USA.
For instance, a 14-day stay here in Barcelona can cost as much as a seven-day stay at a comparable hotel in Palm Springs, according to Booking.com's calculations.
"What may have once seemed unaffordable is now an attractive option for U.S. travelers," says Joseph Moscone, senior manager of public relations for the Americas at Booking.com. "Compared to some popular domestic destinations, Europe is actually more affordable for many travelers given the weaker euro currency."
Of course, summer is peak travel season in Europe, so if you're looking for flights under $1,000, you'll be looking to go now or later in the fall. Nancy Trejos, the USA Today reporter, says she was able to get a roundtrip ticket from Newark to Barcelona for $800.80 this Easter. My former roommate, who will be joining me on this trip, was able to get a ticket using miles she's accrued: 85,000 SkyMiles on the Delta program.
Are you planning a trip to Europe to take advantage of the euro's decline? We'd love to hear your thoughts.

Inside Baseball: 'New York Mets, Take My Money'
As a person who cares deeply about politics and economic justice, I must admit that professional baseball is an atrocity. It involves labor disputes that force lefties like me to do a complicated gut check before singing Solidarity Forever and siding with millionaires in their fight against billionaires, while minimum wage workers serve expensive beer to working-class fans in exorbitantly priced seats. It has developed a highly refined con game to get poor cities to build expensive stadiums for wealthy team owners. Worst of all, and most fundamentally galling, it is a private, for-profit enterprise that somehow became a quasi-religion and convinced millions of schlubs to spend their own money and emotional energy caring about the fortunes of a bunch of companies.
And yet …
Baseball is beautiful. Right now, it is more beautiful for me than it has been in over a decade, because my beloved, perennially bad and mismanaged Mets are doing really well. Sure, it's only April, but that's the trouble: April is when the northeast shakes off winter slumber and breathes deeply again, when birds and flowers and rain that doesn't hurt make everything seem OK again. So when, in an already optimistic time of year, my team comes galloping out of the gate in a way it didn't do during the entirety of my 11-year marriage, it's hard to care that said team plays in an unapologetically mediocre stadium recently constructed with public subsidies while said team's ownership subsidized Bernie Madoff's orgy of larceny and deceit.
Seriously, I don't care. New York Mets, take my money. Take the money of all my friends and family who still live and pay taxes and struggle in New York. While you're at it, take $30 for a new hat and another $20 for an app that lets me listen to your home radio broadcasts for one year only, through which I will listen to your advertisers! If you would let me, I would give you even more money so I could watch your games on the internet, but because I live 100 miles from your stadium in a place where 95% of the population supports two other teams, you have determined that I am in your "home market" and can only see your games by buying a full cable package.
I should condemn this whole arrangement as a miserable, exploitative abuse, but instead, I am pleading with you to let me give you more money for your fundamentally worthless product. READ MORE
Forgiving Is Not Forgetting: On Letting Go Of Debts
What's the biggest debt you have had to forgive? For Kimberly Seals Allers, the amount totaled almost $40,000, and her story is a moving one.
Studies prove that school-age children of involved fathers have better academic success, higher grade point averages and go on to have higher levels of economic and educational achievement. We focus on money, when "child support" also means emotional support, academic support and the supportive power of a male influence in a child's life. Negating that value is dangerous to our children. Regardless of what I think of him, my children love their father and doing my part to keep that feeling alive is priceless to me.
As mothers we would never want our value to be trivialized to a dollar amount. But fathers are often reduced to being an accessory parent — nice to have around, but not essential as long as a good mother stands in. In the seven years since my divorce, my ex-husband (or "wasband" as I like to call him) has always given our children his time, whether he had money or not. He currently makes payments to me directly when he is able.
But his arrears have accumulated during years when he was unemployed or underemployed and either paid less than the monthly payment ($600) granted when we divorced, or nothing at all. So when our children were young, after our separation and early in our divorce, I negotiated new currencies such as additional time when I needed child care, meal preparation, haircuts and even helping with home repairs, instead of acting as if a cash payment was all he had to offer our children. The look on their faces when he came to pick them up was more than worth it.
Because Allers's "wasband" couldn't pay minimums and was in arrears, he wasn't able to travel back to the US to come to one of the children's graduations. That was what inspired Allers to say that enough was enough: "I view him as having been unable to pay, not unwilling. But our broken system lumps both kinds of fathers together in the same prison-bound barrel."
She felt financially able to release him, and she did, for the good of the family as a whole. READ MORE
Are You Just LARPing Your Job?
Slack, maker of extremely expensive professional chatrooms, is annexing online work culture at a stunning rate. The industry narrative doesn't quite cover it! Sure, a lot of companies are signing up and closing their Campfire chats, their Hipchats and their IRCs. But the thing about Slack that gives you that low dread of unstoppable acceleration is how fully it encompasses how you talk to coworkers: first it replaces a group work chat, then it gradually replaces your Gchats and the last remaining AIM conversations. Eventually—and this is when you finally begin to understand why, in the big fun-free casino of venture capital, the Slack table is so crowded—it starts to replace email. It's a weird and distinct feeling, and one that often coincides with Slack apologetics. It is the process of Slackulatory capture.
There may be offices, and types of jobs, for which sitting in a chatroom all day makes everyone more productive. This does not seem to be the case in online media, which is most effusive in its praise for the service. Slack is where people make jokes and register their presence; it is where stories and editing and administrating are discussed as much for self-justification as for the completion of actual goals. Working in an active Slack (or Campfire for that matter!) is a productivity nightmare, especially if you don't hate your coworkers. Anyone who suggests otherwise is either rationalizing or delusional. READ MORE
Updates on Jay Z, Gwyneth Paltrow, Starbucks, and Legal Weed
I wanted to bring you a few updates on recent Billfold stories:
First, Gwyneth Paltrow was unable to complete her SNAP Challenge. This fits right in to the "celebrity food stamp challenge narrative" that I predicted would happen, and gives us the scene where the celebrity realizes just how hard it is to stretch a limited food budget into multiple meals. As Paltrow wrote on GOOP:
As I suspected, we only made it through about four days, when I personally broke and had some chicken and fresh vegetables (and in full transparency, half a bag of black licorice). My perspective has been forever altered by how difficult it was to eat wholesome, nutritious food on that budget, even for just a few days—a challenge that 47 million Americans face every day, week, and year. A few takeaways from the week were that vegetarian staples liked dried beans and rice go a long way—and we were able to come up with a few recipes on a super tight budget.
This paragraph manages to encompass both the "celebrity discovers how hard it is" and "celebrity discovers beans and rice" tropes. Well done, Gwyneth Paltrow.
Second, Jay Z's music service Tidal is going through waves of change. Tidal, which launched at the beginning of April, just lost its CEO, Andy Chen. Peter Tonstad is serving as interim CEO. Tidal also laid off a number of its employees, and I chose "a number" because various sources are reporting anything from "twenty-five" to "a handful." (It could be a really big hand.)
When Two People Work From Home in a One-Bedroom
Life takes us all to strange places we never intended to go. Recently it took my husband and me on a journey of far too much togetherness. Now that it's over, I have never been more in awe of couples who work together and haven't garroted each other.
Like many in this bracingly cool new workaday world of ours, for the past year or so I have found myself laboring away as an independent contractor and freelancer. This isn't really where I thought I'd be at this more-advanced-than-I'd-like stage of life, but one either rolls with the punches or takes a final trip to the Golden Gate Bridge. Fortunately, I'm still rolling.
Part of the rapidly expanding my-own-boss demographic means being part of the wondrous trend of working from home. This is probably the best aspect of the whole deal, or at least it was for a few months.
I'd roll out of bed between 8:30 and 9, fix myself a leisurely breakfast as I check email, read about current events for longer than I should, and then get a few hours of real work done with no supervisor or company co-founder looking over my shoulder. After my five- to six-hour workday was done, I'd go to the adorable but expensive neighborhood market and grab the fixings for dinner which I'd then prepare while listening to the Savage Lovecast. By the time my husband got home from his 8:30 to 5:30, I'd be happily buzzed off a glass of wine or a couple of hits off the vaporizer. It was kind of idyllic.
Then he got laid off.
Now, the reason I'm not parked in a cubicle or (God forbid!) sitting in one of the new open office plans guarding my screen from my coworkers right now is that I, too, had been laid off, so I'm not unsympathetic to his situation. I know all too well what a blow to one's self-worth it can be. Frankly, he handled it a lot better than I did when it happened to me.
That said, he worked as the fulfillment and customer service guy for a porn studio—old-fashioned DVD shipping, no bareback gay porn studio—so he knew for quite some time that the end was nigh. Unfortunately, he hadn't done anything to prepare for that eventuality. (Yes, there were a few "I told you sos" involved. I'm a bad person.) After 13 years with the company he was sent packing with two week's severance, and we both got more togetherness than was good for either of us. READ MORE
Former NBA Player Josh Childress Explains Why Athletes Go Broke
How could someone with 11 million dollars go broke? Former NBA small forward Josh Childress lists the reasons, and they sound all too familiar—starting with spending too much money on housing.
The video, titled "Why Athletes Go Broke," is a Grit interview with Childress in their "Shooting the Sh*t" series (Grit includes the asterisk). What does it take for a multimillionaire to end up with an empty bank account? Childress states that "I was always able to keep [my spending] in check, to an extent," but knows first-hand how other athletes can spend everything they earn and more.
"The first mistake," Childress says, "is people say 'okay, I got 11 million dollars.'"
Childress explains that it turns out to be "$5 million over four years," which means that athletes who buy a million-dollar house in their first year have just committed to spending a larger percentage of their annual income on real estate than they realize. "That house then becomes more expensive. You buy a house, or some guys rent, whatever, most guys buy their mothers a house or a car or something, they buy themselves a car, you've got a 2-4 percent agent fee, you've got the NBA escrow, so that check gets eaten up."
NBA rookies, like anyone else starting a new job, also have to pay to—as Childress puts it—"represent myself like a professional." It's no longer appropriate to carry around worn-out bags, for example. Everything has to look new and high-quality, which means spending high-quality prices.
Life, And Doing Money, In The New Middle Age
We talk a lot about how we do money as relatively young people at this site and we talk about how we expect to do money once / if we retire. What with one thing and another — the final season of "Mad Men;" the opening of the new Noah Baumbach movie While We're Young, which was covered on both the Culture Gabfest and Filmspotting – I've also been thinking a lot about middle age lately. Turns out I'm not the only one.
Researchers say that old age should be defined as having 15 or fewer years left to live, which for the baby boomers means that they are still middle aged until their 74th year.
"If you don't consider people old just because they reached age 65 but instead take into account how long they have left to live, then the faster the increase in life expectancy, the less aging is actually going on," said Sergei Scherbov, World Population Program Deputy Director, at IIASA.
"Older people in the future will have many characteristics exhibited by younger people today.
"What we think of as old has changed over time, and it will need to continue changing in the future as people live longer, healthier lives. 200 years ago, a 60-year-old would be a very old person. Someone who is 60 years old today, I would argue is middle aged."
It's easy enough to fantasize about being a spry 70, puttering around gardens, playing with grandchildren, binge-reading novels, maybe solving mysteries in our spare time. It never occurred to me that what I was picturing was life in the new middle age. READ MORE

Simplify Media discontinues iPhone apps
Simplify Media, developer of the Simplify Music and Simplify Photo iPhone applications announced Friday that it will no longer be offering its current software to new users and that it has removed the Simplify iPhone apps from the App Store. Simplify Media was best known for its applications that allowed iPhone and iPod touch users to stream music and view photos from their computer over a Wi-Fi or 3G connection, even while away from home. In a post in its blog, the company indicates that it is heading in a "new direction" and has taken these steps to focus on that transition. The post goes on to state that Simply Media will continue operating and supporting the service for at least the next 3 months for existing users, and that the company hopes by that time to be able to announce more information on "future incarnations" of the service.

Time to demand a refund for my software.

Just when I thought I'd gotten the best streaming audio app for the iPhone, they pull this? JS put it well: this will certainly impact any future purchases I may (or may not) make from SimplifyMedia.
Posted by Jesse Hollington in Toronto on March 15, 2010 at 1:32 PM (CDT)
I will miss simplify. It was buggy at times but was always quickly fixed. Let me re-iterate, I will REALLY miss Simplify! Since having my iphone and simplify, i havent been forced to delete and update my 160gb classic as much. I AM REALLY GOING TO MISS SIMPLIFY!! It was a life saver with an over 300gb library. I have Jukefly, which is reliable but NOT NEARLY as pretty or functional as simplify. Simplify Media R.I.P.

Sounds to me like they were sold, perhaps to Apple or Microsoft.
Posted by Jesse Hollington in Toronto on March 16, 2010 at 1:37 PM (CDT)
Good luck getting a refund. There is no contact info at the simplify site. I have contacted Apple a couple times to request a refund. No responses.
I have a hunch that Apple bought them and will integrate the service into their home sharing concept somehow. Wishful thinking perhaps. If this is not the case, I sure want my $7.99 back!
Posted by Jesse Hollington in Toronto on March 30, 2010 at 3:23 PM (CDT)
When something to good to be true comes along it is also true that it will be taken away. I was willing to pay to use Simplify Media. Now that I paid the piper the piper is taking the money and running. Sounds just like the same people leading our nation, "stick it to your supporters."
Posted by Jesse Hollington in Toronto on April 4, 2010 at 4:50 PM (CDT)
I just bought this app in March and up until I saw this LOVED it. Way to screw the people that actually support the software… from now on I'll just pirate whatever else you put out.
I really liked being able to resume large mp3's (radio shows)... Guess I need to find something else. Any recommendations? I'll actually buy something if the software will work for more than four months.
Posted by Jesse Hollington in Toronto on April 26, 2010 at 8:12 PM (CDT)
Well… here it is over 3 months later and still nothing. I guess the folk at Simplify Media are still sunning themselves on a tropical beach somewhere warm with all of our money… us the people who PAID for the app they decided to then PULL from our devices. Thanks guys. You're six kinds of AWESOME !!!
Posted by Jesse Hollington in Toronto on May 26, 2010 at 5:23 AM (CDT)
What do you mean by pulled?
I have always been, and am still using my Simplify Media music app.. No jailbreak.
It isn't updated anymore, but hey, it works like a charm. Why fix something that isn't broken?
I'll bet it's going to work at least until Apple launches it's own streaming service.
Posted by Jesse Hollington in Toronto on June 4, 2010 at 8:38 PM (CDT)
no, they are shutting down their servers at the end of the month. Simplify is NOT decentralized, you can only connect to your PC through their servers. once they shut them down (and they will), the app will no longer work.
I wish the Air Video guys would make an audio streaming app, Air Video works like a charm, and you only connect to their server to generate a key, which you don't even need to do. If Air Video ever shuts down, your app will still work as it currently does. Simplify lost a loyal customer, I will never support anything they do, ever again.
Posted by Jesse Hollington in Toronto on June 16, 2010 at 1:41 PM (CDT)
I'm frustrated. As a paying customer, I feel left high and dry today as the service has stopped working.
I'm disappointed and frustrated, and whatever 'new direction' this company takes, they will not see my money at their destination. I will not purchase another product from them after being ripped off like this in this fashion.
For shame!
Posted by Jesse Hollington in Toronto on June 30, 2010 at 1:04 AM (CDT)
Not only do the makers not refund the money, but the site claimed that the app will still work for existing users for some time. Not true. I sent them seven emails, all of which went unresponded. Bunch of snakes.

HTC Opal Leaked Images And Specs, Or Perhaps Just An Updated Touch
Nothing is for sure, but that's life for ya. Where am I going with this? This might be HTC's newest cell phone, the Opal, but no official word just yet. Ok, maybe not their newest, but it's either a refresh to the HTC Touch or the rumored Asus p552w cell phone (it looks very similar so I have my suspicions). According to a Internet rumor it's utilizing the same HTC Touch hardware, which is a TI OMAP 850 processor, Bluetooth, WiFi, microSD slot, 2MP camera and 2.8-inch touchscreen with TouchFLO UI.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich says it's time to put "real leadership" back in the White House this November.
Gingrich stood by his wife, Callista, when he told delegates Thursday night that it is "striking" how President Barack Obama took the nation down a path that, he says, weakened America's confidence in itself and Americans' hope for a better future.
He compared Obama to former President Jimmy Carter and said both "produced little effective legislation."
Gingrich often sparred with Romney during the Republican primary, particularly when a "super" political committee supporting Romney hammered Gingrich with millions of dollars in television ads.
Gingrich said earlier this year that he's supporting Romney because he's the best choice to defeat Obama.

Golden Gophers Practice Report: October 3 Oct. 3, 2013 Photo Gallery (WBB Practice, Oct. 2, 2013) Gophers Thank Deborah Olson "Deborah's friendship has meant a lot to Minnesota athletics and myself for many years," Borton said. "She is always willing to step to the plate to help make our program successful. She's very unselfish, because she doesn't do this for the recognition, but it means a lot to us that she is willing to go above and beyond to help keep our program competitive." Back From London It was the first time in England for Kate, who is in her second year with the women's basketball program. She not only got to see the Vikings win their first game of the season with a 34-27 win against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but she was also able to attend a professional soccer match. See the attached video for an interview with Kate about her journey to London.

Colorado 1-5 Christmas Ornaments
Personalized Christmas Ornament
While this sample shows a pet dish in the 5th position the pet dish is optional. We will put in a head unless you specify PET DISH in personalization. This personalized Colorado ornament is the perfect way to remember a trip to the Centennial State which was admitted as a State in the Union in the centennial year of the United States. Travel the majestic Rocky Mountains and river raft down the Colorado River, named for its red colored waters. This ornament can be for a family of up to five and you can even swap a head for a pet dish if you would rather. Colorado is only one of three states with no natural borders and is surrounded by six states. It is also one of four states that make up the Four Corners which is considered the heart of the American Southwest.
Material: Resin
Ornaments shown on our site are personalized, as examples only, so you can see where we put the words/names you give us. Some ornaments allow you to select hair or uniform color. If there is no color choice, it is not available on that particular ornament. We will do everything possible to catch any mistakes in spelling, etc., but are not responsible if we do as you request, and it is then not correct. The ornament you see above is the way it will look when you get it, except for the personalizing instructions you give us and any optional attributes you select.

11/17/2014 - "I ordered a baby boy ornament for my new little grandson. This is his first Christmas. As with his sisters and cousins, I have done this for every grandchild. The previous three grandchildren ornaments have come from OrnamentShop. Obviously I have been well pleased with the ornaments or I would not continue buying from them. The ornaments are always packed well so that shipping does not damage them. This ornament arrived surprisingly fast. I wasn't expecting it so soon after I ordered it. But more important to me than quick shipping is the quality ornament. The ornaments are just as described only better. When you can see the finished product in your hands, it gives me a good feeling knowing that this quality will still be there for their lifetimes.

The Spurs boss suggested attack will be the best form of defense against Manuel Pellegrini's men, while indicating he wants to keep hold of both Lewis Holtby and Etienne Capoue.
Tottenham coach Tim Sherwood is confident of denting Manchester City's incredible goalscoring form when the two sides meet on Wednesday by taking the game to the Premier League's most prolific team.TOTTENHAM LATEST |
However, Sherwood has got a plan to stop City adding to its 63 league goals so far this season, telling his troops that attack is the best form of defense.
"We can't worry about them," he told reporters. "We have to be responsible to make sure we're concentrated and defend very well at all times. But I think we also need to see if there's anything we can do to affect them. And there is. There will be weaknesses in their play and hopefully we can try and exploit some of them.
"If you don't stem the flow, they can be home and dry very quickly. We can't afford a capitulation like we saw at the Etihad. Their biggest strength, Man City, is when they attack. So let's hope that we can try and make them defend as much as possible."
Sherwood was also keen to stress Lewis Holtby and Etienne Capoue would be staying at White Hart Lane, and were both pushing for starting roles, despite respective January links to Schalke and Napoli.
"I'm happy with the squad we've got," he added. "I do trust this group of players to take us to where we need to be.
"I like Lewis, he's a good lad [and is] one of the best trainers we have. [It's the] same with Etienne, he's a good lad and a good trainer. He's not given me a moment's problem and I don't expect him to be a problem. I'm getting to know Etienne now as well. So he's at the forefront of my mind at the moment."

A short summary would be running a general-purpose NAS system with FreeBSD 10.1 at home with ZFS, NFS4 serving homedirs and other storage and a bunch of jails running PostgreSQL, build environments, kfreebsd, etc. And my main desktop dual boots FreeBSD 10.1 and PC-BSD, both of which work just fine. The only minor niggle is the GPU fan speed which needs tweaking due to running at full speed, but I run kde4, i3, fluxbox without any trouble.
At work, we have a FreeBSD 10.1 jenkins build node to test our code against clang++ 3.4/3.5, and I currently run a set of VirtualBox VMs for local building and testing. I may possibly switch over to it for desktop use as well if it serves work needs (currently using Ubuntu)
"Spreading conspiracy theories." Please. I may be many things, but a conspiracy nut is not one of them; there is really no need to make such silly insinuations, it's not like the prior debate was any better. The number of people who pushed for this over the last few years was very small, in comparison to the total developer base, and the GR was irrelevant to that--that was only at the end stage of the process. I'd personally long since withdrawn from the "debate" at that point, because it was so nasty and unpleasant and I had better things to do with my time than be abused by my fellow developers. A win for rude, pushy and obnoxious people who shouted loudest and longest and ignored everyone else...
While I am missing Debian as a project to participate in after spending so long working on it, I am most certainly not missing participation on the lists due to the unnecessary amount of unprofessional vitriol and bile. I'll be looking for somewhere a bit more pleasant for my next project.
After using and developing Debian for 18 years, this is the first release I have no plans to use, all thanks to the gnome and systemd idiocy. It hasn't been a nice experience, seeing a system build up with loving care by so many people over so long being willfully trashed by a small handful of people. I for one have no interest in being RedHat's bitch; if I wanted to be, I'd be a suffering Fedora or CentOS user. Debian has lost its independence and freedom.
I've been using FreeBSD for nearly 18 months now, and rarely boot up Debian on my systems or VMs. Going back 5 years, I'd never have imagined this is the way things would play out. Tragic.
3D volume rendering and large scale 2D image rendering. Modern biological and medical imaging systems can create gargantuan datasets, and visualising them is computationally expensive. The largest single images I have are ~5GiB from tiled confocal z stacks (large 3D volume e.g. 4096x4096x64 with 4x 16-bit channels is 8GiB). Current lightsheet microscopes can acquire over 1TB *per sample* in just a few minutes, with the final processed/renderable volume still being many tens of GBs. MRI scans can also be very large.
Put it this way: a 512x512x512 volume at 8 bits per pixel is 128 MiB and that's pretty pedestrian
1024x1024x1024 at 32 bits per pixel/single precision float with 4 channels is 16.4GiB
Current high-end CCDs are now 2048x2048; if I acquire with 16 bits per pixel, 128 planes and 4 channels, that's 32.8 GiB
Slide scanners can also acquire very large 2D images, well over 100000x100000 with 3 8bpp channels; that's 28.6 GiB uncompressed, and I've seen far larger.
I hope this makes the point that 12GB video memory isn't just desirable, it's still way to small for many current imaging applications without pre-processing the data to filter/downsample/reduce the sample precision. I would really appreciate a GPU with this much VRAM, and still want more.
I use a smaller ISP (aaisp.net) which provides IPv6 natively. The router they provided, which is a fairly common technicolor model, does all the firewalling and port forwarding you could desire with both v4 and v6 addresses. In the case of v6 it's more a case of unblocking than forwarding ports, since the internal address is global, but the functionality is all there and it works. If you didn't want to run servers internally, everything worked out of the box for outgoing v6--totally plug and play which is how it should be.
I set up PostgreSQL in a FreeBSD jail last week. Total setup time, just a few minutes to create the jail and pkg install the latest PostgreSQL, and set up the db cluster. Added to DNS, and it's been working ever since without a hitch, all on top of ZFS. If you're not a slave to proprietary databases, it can be very simple and straightforward to migrate to FreeBSD.
I don't have the time to point to the specific issues, but if you look over the last 18 months of the buildd-tools-devel archives you'll find them. Most of these are due the same root cause that broke tmux and screen before they were specifically patched to work around systemd.
But the specific issues are no longer worth discussing. The breakage has already happened. Debian has been broken, both in terms of the trashing of its historical reliability and robustness and in terms of the fracturing of its community. It's now past time to plan to move on to systems which aren't broken by design. If I use the new Jessie release at all, it will likely be an interim measure while it still supports sysvinit, and is just a stopgap while migrating elsewhere. While staying on Linux would be nice, it's not clear that will be viable, so pre-emptively migrating to FreeBSD will provide some medium-term security and flexibility. I started planning for the possibility of migrating away over 18 months back, and I've spent the last 12 months porting code, removing Linux/glibc-isms, adding support for BSD features and libraries, migrating systems and services, setting up BSD autobuild/CI infrastructure etc. This is now largely complete, just need to finish ZFS snapshotting for schroot.
Never forget that Linux wasn't made by big companies pushing their agendas. They largely picked up what others had created before them. Big UNIX tools and programs are as a rule crude and less featureful and polished compared with their free software counterparts. Linux was made by the thousands of people who created and polished the free tools and programs to make them the most featureful, portable, useful and usable of their class. As a group, we've been collectively given the finger, and so many of us will take the message and move on. We'll see how well the latter day Big Linux companies do without us in the long term. They may well have killed the goose that laid the golden eggs.
What stopped me? Many things. Here's a few.
The systemd debate reduced the Debian lists to an endless flamewar over three years long. debian-devel is just toxic; it's not useful for any constructive development discussion. I unsubscribed from almost all the lists a year back. I can't describe how wearing and demotivating this is. Reading the archives since then, it hasn't improved.
Most of the software I write for Debian is core systems programming stuff. Straight out of APUE (Stevens). Over the last year, I've had a stream of bug reports about things not working correctly under systemd. Some fairly fundamental POSIX syscalls and tools no longer have the same behaviour when running under systemd. By "design". That's a fairly huge compatibility break with every other UNIX-like system out there, and one which hasn't seen much attention. But I'm somehow expected to rework my code to work around the breakage systemd brought with it. Breakage which has nothing to do with me. Code which isn't even remotely anything to do with an init system and which is portable code running on many other systems. That's crossed a line. systemd can't and won't be supported.
I can work on sysvinit, openrc to a lesser extent. For several years it's been all take and no give with the systemd people. We can't do work on integrating openrc since this would require support for runscripts in systemd. What's the chance of that? Zero. Any changes, even minor ones, require superhuman effort to achieve. Essentially, it's an uphill battle to do anything and Debian is no longer a pleasant or productive environment to work in, primarily thanks to the horrible "our way or the highway" attitude of the systemd people. Since when was free software about dictating how everyone must do things? Silly me, I used to think it was about having the personal freedom to tinker with things as I liked to meet my needs. I'm a volunteer, and I give up vast amounts of my life to contribute to free software and Debian. This was previously a fun, collaborative, productive endevour for which my efforts benefitted many people. It's now deeply unpleasant and I don't like being abused, ridiculed and trodden on by the systemd people and their enablers. I'll move on to new and better things. I spent the last decade as the primary maintainer of the core Debian build tools, and later of sysvinit. I've been invested in and contributed heavily to Debian for the last 15 years. Not something easily let go.
We'll see how Devuan pans out. Until it does, I'll be carrying on the migration to FreeBSD.
Altruism only goes so far.
This isn't strictly correct. They have been talking about their own equivalent of launchd.
Why is the distinction important? Unlike systemd it has a clearly-defined and limited scope. If systemd had stuck to doing this, it wouldn't have become the creeping mess it is today. So long as the FreeBSD implementation is limited and sane, I see no reason why it won't be a general improvement. And given the clean and generally machine-editable nature of rc.conf and the BSD init system, it will likely not be too challenging to make it backward-compatible, which is another area systemd failed in by not being fully LSB compatible.
Really? I can.
I'm a Debian developer who has been moving slowly to using FreeBSD on more and more systems over the last year, displacing Debian use and development on those systems. I've started contributing in minor ways on the lists and the odd patch for the ports tree. I'll likely start packaging my stuff in ports and becoming increasingly more involved over time.
I contribute to things I'm actively using. For the past 15 years, that was Debian. Unfortunately due to the best efforts of the systemd people, it looks like that's unlikely to continue, though I very much wish this was not the case. But reality can't be avoided, and this is where things are today.
MacOS X and Windows are both second-class citizens. They work poorly and inconsistently, and are not well-maintained ports. You can't build a Windows or MacOS X version of a GTK+ application and expect it to work properly. With Qt, you can. Nowadays with GTK 3.x, even non-Linux and non-GNOME are no longer catered for properly. This isn't new. Windows support was mediocre back in 2004 and it's still mediocre today. MacOS X is arguably worse. Case in point: copy-paste was broken in Inkscape the last few times I've tried it on MacOS X, making it unusable. This is simply due to the primary upstream developers, those that are left at least, not caring at all about these platforms--they never have cared. Working "quite well" is a low bar; stuff needs to work all the time. It's true that it works for simple stuff--a few buttons and text entries. But at soon as you get to a more complex application that starts to use more functionality, you're in a world of frustration as you discover the extent of all the brokenness.
A decade back, GTK+ used to be my toolkit of choice, and I was using it for my day job for a while for use in actual products, writing tutorials and articles on it in professional publications etc. In retrospect, it wasn't that amazing then, the systemic issues it has were there since it began, but it's not even on the radar today for most developers. I'm now a Qt developer, like many others who had to get stuff done and found GTK+ sorely lacking. Building cross-platform OpenGL rendering stuff, it works on every platform without trouble and looks and behaves completely natively, and is a pleasure to work with rather than an exercise in masochism. In 2004 I was regularly filing bugs with patches against GTK+. A few months back, I saw some get closed/wontfix--10 years of tested, unreviewed patches fixing serious problems being ignored and abandoned. What a waste. If it was actually maintained properly, I might possibly still be using it. But if bugs which block your work don't get fixed, even if you put in the effort to fix, test and submit the patches yourself, you end up having to move to something which is actually maintained properly, such as Qt.
I'd argue that the issues are still with Microsoft. They could (and previously did, up to OpenGL 1.4) support OpenGL natively as they do with DirectX today. The hardware vendor shouldn't have to implement and provide a complete GL implementation, but they do have to, and this is one reason why GL implementation quality varies so widely. It could have been a very different story if they weren't a bunch of manipulative control freaks.
If Microsoft provided a fully-featured GL implementation and let vendors provide a much lower-level driver to do hardware abstraction only, the experience would be much better. This would be akin to Mesa, where the hardware drivers target Gallium and not the high-level GL/state machine side of things. A single GL implementation with multiple backend drivers (OK, I know it's not that simple in Mesa-land, but I hope it makes the point).
I used to be a "C" zealot who considered it unmanly to use other languages. I've got past that with age. C is simple, but it comes at the cost of having to do every last thing by hand. Even when it's unnecessary and the chance of making mistakes is high. After spending years on the nitty-gritty details, there comes a time when you have to ask: do I really need to implement the needed bits of a vector/list/set/map/hash or do I just use one that I know will work without any trouble. Chances are it's optimised better than my hand-rolled one would be. And it takes a few seconds to use, since I don't have to write all that wheel-reinventing code myself. I can focus on the problem I was trying to solve, rather than unnecessary groundwork.
Stuff like std::vector is often criticised by those who don't appreciate what it does. After optimisation, element access is as efficient as a C array, and the automatic memory management is no worse than what you'd need to do in C anyway. And it's type-safe and exception-safe. Same with std::string. This is also often more efficient than using the C string functions (though obviously can be less so if used badly). But it's safe and easy to use, which is the big win. How often have you screwed up C string manipulation. That's right, we all have, and even when it appears safe and working, it's often a disaster waiting to happen.
I'm replying to this because as I was reading through I was working on some code for work. We were using std::vector in a set of nested objects to keep track of their children using std::shared_ptr, and to allow cross-references with std::weak_ptr. Works just fine. But profiling showed that our usage patterns were suboptimal. We needed to keep track of objects by their insertion order (linear) but also needed to do fast lookups (set/rbtree). I could have hand-rolled a custom implementation, or made a custom container with embedded vector and set objects and logic to keep them synchronised. However, a little research and this was the solution:
template<typename T, template <typename ElementType> class Ptr>
struct indexed_container
typedef boost::multi_index_container<
boost::multi_index::ordered_unique<boost::multi_index::identity<Ptr<T> >, std::owner_less<Ptr<T> > >
> type;
Total time from finding the problem to researching and creating this working solution (including converting the existing code to use it): 2 hours.
So now I can do indexed_container<foo, std::shared_ptr>::type c and get a custom container containing std::shared_ptr<foo> indexed by both insertion order and by pointer value. With C++11 I could use a templated typedef and also avoid the struct wrapper. And multi_index_container template is usable for all sorts of esoteric multiple-indexing with indexing on individual/multiple fields or with custom functors or whatever you like. Why would I want to reinvent that when there's a pre-canned implementation that just works. It certainly has intellectual value, but when you just need to get something done, the above is using the available tools to best effect. Imagine how many hundreds of lines of C the above typedef would require to reimplement from scratch. And how many man hours would it take to implement? It's just not worth doing that.
This is all highly debatable!
However, if you had to choose between GObject-C and C++, the rational choice is C++. It's the better choice on all counts: safety, speed, correctness, robustness, maintainability. I had to learn this lesson the hard way by spending years banging my head against the wall using GObject when I could have just used C++.
The first rule of intelligent tinkering is to save all the parts. -- Paul Erlich

Obama picks ex-Colorado PUC chair Ron Binz to head FERC
- Cathy Proctor
- Reporter- Denver Business Journal
- Email | Facebook | Twitter
President Barack Obama will nominate Ron Binz, a former chairman of the Colorado Public Utilities Commission, to be the next chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
The agency oversees a range of national energy and regulatory issues, including construction and operation of natural gas pipelines and electricity transmission lines that cross state lines.
Binz's nomination to the five-member panel requires Senate confirmation.
Binz led Colorado's PUC from January 2007, when he was appointed by former Gov. Bill Ritter, until April 2011, two months after he notified the newly-elected Gov. John Hickenlooper that he would not accept reappointment for a second term.
Binz told Hickenlooper he planned "to resume my consulting practice and to work with organizations that promote clean energy policies here and across the country."
Since he stepped down from the PUC, Binz has been the principal with Public Policy Consulting and also a senior policy advisor with the Center for the New Energy Economy at Colorado State University. The center's director is Ritter.
As chairman of the PUC, Binz drew praise from some quarters for his support of renewable energy projects and the implementation of the state's Clean Air-Clean Jobs Act of 2010, which required Colorado's investor-owned utilities, Xcel Energy Inc. (NYSE: XEL) and Black Hills Energy, to shut down a combined 900 megawatts worth of coal-fired power plants.
Udall, D-Colo., who serves on the U.S. Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, on Thursday hailed the president's decision to nominate Binz. The committee is expected to vote on the nomination later this year.
"Ron's nomination is welcome news for Colorado, one of the top natural gas-producing and exporting states in the nation," Udall said.
"I plan to work with my colleagues to ensure he is confirmed to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission so that it can provide strong oversight over our nation's interstate natural gas pipelines and electrical grids."
But others have criticized Binz because they say his decisions favoring more expensive renewable energy technologies over traditional fossil-fuel resources have contributed to higher utility bills.
In the fall of 2010, as the PUC rushed to meet a legislative deadline to get the Clean Air-Clean Jobs plan approved, Binz and another commissioner, Matt Baker, came under fire from Colorado mining interests. Baker left the PUC in the spring of 2012.
The Colorado Mining Association in October 2010 asked the two commissioners to recuse themselves from voting on Xcel's plan to shut down coal plants. The association based its request on emails, obtained via Colorado's Open Records laws, that indicated Binz and Baker participated in email discussions of issues related to the Clean Air-Clean Jobs Act before it was filed in the legislature.
The mining association has complained that the act was rushed through the legislature, and through the PUC, without proper debate.
Binz and Baker each declined to recuse themselves from the issue and denied any improper actions. "I have a duty to the people of Colorado to hear this case," Binz said at the time.
Following another complaint about Binz's travel expenses, the Colorado Independent Ethics Commission Board ruled in December 2011, months after Binz left office, that he should have asked for an opinion before accepting travel money from Bentek Energy Inc., an energy consulting company in Evergreen, to attend a symposium in Houston.
But Binz didn't breach the public's trust when he accepted the money because he didn't benefit personally from the travel, the commission ruled.
