There definitely is a way as creating custom networks works perfectly fine with rootless docker. I'm surprised if podman doesn't support that since it uses rootlesskit (same as rootless docker) which does the heavy lifting for rootless networking.
“Data Downtime” is very real and can have terrible impacts on understanding what’s happening to customers or your business. I like that this series is taking the simple approach of using SQL to help identify the problems. (Its also a good lesson on window functions) Run these queries on some kind of schedule and you’ve got a decent solution to monitor the situation. Granted there’s different levels of sophistication to monitor these problems with better tools as your data volumes grow. The bigger problem beyond downtime is how to recover from these situations. I’ve seen many databases architected in ways where you can’t recover said downtime. That’s where change data capture could really help but I think that’s beyond the scope of this series.
That's really interesting. So if there were multiple "global passive adversaries" then the network would become stronger and stronger? At least until one gives up and removes all their nodes at once.
I'm suprised that no one's mentioned this yet, but I've found that even for linear prose-text, my recall of what I've read is much better with paper books than with ebooks.

My working hypothesis for why this is true is that it's easily the mentally differentiate the paper books I've read: when I try to remember a book, often the first thing that comes up in my mind is the cover art. My mental records of paper books are indexed by a multitude of factors---what the cover looked like, what the paper felt like, approximate size, typeface, etc.---that just aren't there for ebooks
How do you avoid collisions of passphrases?
Came here to say about the same thing. For regular reading I don't care the medium but will pick ebook most of the time so that I have it everywhere I go and can read a chapter or two in the waiting room on my phone and pick up on my tablet later that night. For text books I have yet to see a good digital interface to them, mainly due to not being able to quickly jump between sections/pages. Maybe an interface where I can "cut" out parts of pages and organize them all on a digital corkboard is closer to what I imagine as "the best" way but still I'd pick book over ebook. The one other thing I will say is that I did get ebooks instead of textbooks a number of times in college because it was cheaper and I was told ahead of time that we either never or rarely use the book (but had to prove we got it or lose points in the class).
It's semi-common in the cloud space, although some just go ahead and use the word "month" anyway, and then in the fine print define a month as equalling 720 hours. Some of AWS's pricing calculators do that, for example.
I have a question for you actually. I have noticed things very similar to what you talk about after a few years of regular smoking. I started at 19 and I'm 21 now (edit, 22, forgot my own age). I used to evangelize marijuana since it has no overt medical side effects, but I think I'm coming to realize what you are talking about -- it kinda does make you stupid, like my Mom warned me about years ago. And not just when you're high, either.

I try to mitigate the negative effects by alternating -- a month of daily smoking, then a month off. If I have any in the house, I can't help myself, so I moderate the quantities I buy.

But, I have started to have episodes around things like locked doors. Did I lock the door -- or even close it? It's like I can't trust my previous decision and I have to go check again. Sometimes I will check a door five times in an hour. It's basically neurotic. If I don't check, I feel very nervous. I think this might be related to marijuana since it seems to fall into the category of absentminded behavior. It's like I am not present in reality enough to have faith in my past decisions.

I definitely don't feel stupid, but I do feel unfocused -- you could say my thoughts are accurate but not very precise. Or put in other terms, I feel like my of my intellectual powers are locked up because it feels to difficult to think about hard things.

Anyway, I was wondering how long you feel like it took you to "get smart again", as it were. Should a month be long enough to return to a baseline state of mind? Or should I try a multiple month T break to see if it has a big impact? (If it did, I would quit).
Netflix use Groovy quite a lot of.
I am not a college student anymore, but I can only imagine the time savings of searching for answers and/or keywords in an ebook when writing a paper or finishing a take home test.

As for the ebook vs print argument as a 29 year old, I always order my books on amazon in paperback or hard copy. I stare at a screen all day, and don't want to sit down for an enjoyable read using the same medium. I also always order used copies of books and the prices are often times $.99-$2.00. Far cheaper than a digital copy.
Maybe the cost of learning and adapting the new technology was too high. I know many things that could be modernized at my company but we choose not to do it right now because we need to focus on other things.
Here's a curve that represents the rate of cancer diagnosis by age in the UK.
http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/cancer-info/cancerstats/inci...

If cancer were only about a mutation happening randomly, you'd expect the curve to actually slope downwards, like an exponential distribution.

But maybe cancer requires several mutations to happen in a row, which would suggest an Erlang distribution of which we only see the beginning of the hump. 20 mutations give a very good curve fit (1).

An alternative hypothesis is senescence. Maybe the mutation rate itself increases with age, or maybe the immune system isn't as able to nip cancerous growths in the bud.

This is important! Whenever the impact of a disease doesn't follow a chi squared or exponential distribution, it suggests two ways to fight the disease. Directly target the disease itself, or target the process which over time makes us more susceptible to it.

(1) warning, back of the envelope, there are plenty of other effects to account
I'm a bit confused by your question ???

Immigration, at the root, has always been about economic necessity in North America. Why would it be any different now ?
This post seems to imply that there is a single "market salary" for programmers. That's not really the case anywhere - a green intern doing web programming is never going to have an equal salary to a greybeard doing consulting in esoteric niche areas (eg COBOL in banking systems). There's always diminishing returns for superstar talent in any field - a Fortune 25 CEO gets paid how much more than a manager at Wendy's?

The collusion between the big tech companies to drive down salaries for top personnel strongly suggests that the market salary for these people is actually higher than what they're currently paid. They're grade-A talent in a hot field, the fact that their salaries are high doesn't mean they're above-market.
If Google paid out the same proportion of its earnings as salaries as investment banks do, they would roughly double overall compensation.
That's why Socket.IO is great: http://socket.io/

It gives you the same API as you'd want from a websockets library, but it will fall back to Flash Sockets, long polling, etc. if websockets aren't available.

It was originally written for node, but there's a Python implementation now too.
Amazing new tool to build backend applications using visual units!

Beyond that, it's a common theme in mythology and stories that names have power, and uttering the name of a powerful fae or wizard might actually attract the notice of said powerful being. Which of course might bring ruin to you if they decide they don't like you using their name and decide to deal with you in person.
I don't know how I feel about that. Am I doing business with Amazon or the third party? If it's the third party, I want it to be crystal clear that they are the ones who will get my info. And if it's not crystal clear and I find out and their response is "oops, you weren't really supposed to notice that"...

Again, think of the grocery store example: you go in, there is a Boar's Head counter where they sell sandwiches. You grab a sandwich and head to the checkout line. You pay the grocery store worker who is wearing a grocery store shirt and get a grocery store receipt that says you just bought a $5 sandwich and used your grocery store loyalty card. Do you expect that Boar's Head will get the details of your loyalty card, which sandwich you bought, what else you bought, etc. even if the back of the receipt says in fine print that the grocery store may share that information with someone?

If Boar's Head had their own clerk and their own cash register you'd be doing business with them. But then it would be clear cut, right? The fact that the grocery store is processing the payments and presenting it as essentially they are reselling Boar's Head products would imply that Boar's Head is not involved in your individual transaction.

If this is a service you are buying from Boar's Head but they simply use the grocery store's cash registers, accounting, inventory, etc. then I would argue it's on the grocery store and Boar's Head to make it crystal clear who you are doing business with, or else you run into situations like this. And if a situation like the one that started this whole debacle happens, their response should be "We are sorry. We never made it crystal clear why we get this information. You see, we are partners with the grocery store and when you buy our delicious sandwiches from your local Piggly Wiggly you are actually doing business with us. We know it's in the grocery store's TOS, but we think it should be clear that you are actually our customer as well when you transact business with them for our goods. This is to provide benefits X, Y, and Z. If you don't want to do business with both Piggly Wiggly and us, here are some alternatives to get our delicious sandwiches elsewhere and some recipes to make your own. In addition, this incident happened because our sales staff was not properly trained on how we should use our customer data. We are going to review our privacy policies and publish an update in six weeks or sooner with what we will be doing going forward. If you have any concerns, please contact me directly. XOXO CEO of Boar's Head."

Ok. But that is where the debates start. Many forests will not lend themselves towards diversity. Look at places like the pacific coastal rain forests. If left alone they will become a homogenous zone, one canopy of trees. Clearcutting strips increases diversity of tree/bush cover, helping small animals and everything that feeds on them. Diversity over and above the "natural" untouched state. So is the goal a natural level of diversity, or an artificially elevated diversity for diversity's sake?
Great question. Superb AI also seems like a great tool. I’m not sure if they have video annotation though.

We are different from them in a bunch of ways, but the biggest one is that we are optimized for handling videos, sequential images, and radiology. We really like handling groups of semantically similar images.

I love the quote "Having Mt. Gox shut down is to bitcoin what having the New York Stock Exchange shut down is to our equity market," said James Angel, a professor of finance at Georgetown University.

I actually think the best analogies are the ones that are close enough to make the point and far enough away to be funny. An amusing analogy is much more 'sticky' in the receivers mind than a highly accurate one. It's like the old memory technique of associating something mundane with something absurd.
You're missing the point. It's not that the sentence has to have multiple logical interpretations; it's that your brain begins to parse it one way and then comes to words that don't fit that interpretation. I had to jump back to the beginning twice because I assumed "appeals" was the verb at first.
Very interesting; where do you get your blood tested? AFAIK, you have to be willing to pay the lab expense, which is tailored for insurance.
In that case you should assume that FedEx will put them all out of business. There's a lot more going on than "delivery".

I agree that they are less convenient than the control key sequence, but better than the up arrow trick.

And it is a little worse on the kinesis, as the function keys are not the same quality as the rest of the keys.
I find a high level of correlation between eye strain with computer work and dehydration. When I drink lots of water, I experience less eye strain. I don't know if that will work for you, its just an idea.

I also know that it doesn't just have to do with taking a break, because drinking once from a large container helps more than multiple drinks from small containers.
Expected payout depends on the total amount staked. With a large amount staked it's only a couple percent annually; with a small amount it's up to 18% annually. The idea is an equilibrium will be reached in the middle somewhere.
Doesn't seem to be the case [1] The article that comments on this chart says other sources (non-ad ones) look promising but it more sounds like a speculation because I don't see real signs of that.

Commonly-used HPC profilers support Python and various instrumentation, including CUDA. That's at least Extrae, native TAU, and Score-p (with a plugin, possibly under TAU).

How can this be a requirement?
I’m probably the 50th person to say this, but I hope my saying it again would add to its importance: there’s nothing that I’ve found more powerful and long-lasting to my psychological health than regular exercise coupled with a healthy diet. At the end of the day we’re animals, our thinking and behaviour highly dependent on our surrounding environment and our metabolic functions, and if those are disturbed, then we are disturbed. Consider taking a vacation to get away from it all for a while.
It can't be truly private as long as the data is still on their servers.
Cause some people feel that if they can pick apart someone else's life, it makes their own look less pathetic. It's like guy weighting 300lbs calling the 350lber fat. All these people want to do is watch until they can find something to shame the other person. Society is better off without any of these people. Unfortunately 99% who probably agree with my statement watch reality TV which is no different than what this hotel is doing.
Which will be illegal to disconnect yourself.
No Spotify? Wow. I don't even recognize half the music services it supports. As someone else said on this thread, I am happy with 320kbps music streaming on Spotify + it's remote control features + the recent hardware support for Spotify Connect.
Break your complex project down into a list of tasks.

You want list items specific enough that you have a clear idea of where to start.

Now do the first few tasks. After 2 or 3, you'll have built momentum and that's the hard part.

To keep your momentum, stop before an easy task so tomorrow it's easy to start up again. Do the same when taking breaks. Tick/strike your tasks as you go, as it's satisfying to see your progress.

Set specific and realistic timeframes for each task, keeping in mind they'll all take you three times longer than you think they will. Always be able to answer "where will my project be 1 day/week/month from now" to keep yourself on track.

Rinse/repeat, get enough rest, get enough exercise and time away from computer. Especially if you're doing dayjob AND side-project sitting at a computer. Resist the urge to pull all-nighters.. although you're 23 so once in a while is probably OK :-)
Here is a riddle for you:

Until today all the desktop monitors Apple sells hover around 100 ppi, whether they are Apple Cinema Displays or iMacs. The resolution of their MacBooks is a bit higher – the 13" and the 15" have 110 ppi, the 17" has 130 ppi – presumably because everyone sits a bit closer to Laptop screens.

Why did Apple pick that resolution and stick with it when it comes to Macs but why didn’t they have any qualms when increasing the iPhone’s resolution? And how does eyestrain figure into this whole discussion?

Solving this riddle will be easy if you don’t think so much about hardware but rather about software.

And here’s the answer: Gur evtug nafjre vf gung Nccyr jba’g trg gurve npg gbtrgure naq BF K vf fgvyy abg lrg erfbyhgvba vaqrcraqrag (hayvxr Jvaqbjf naq Yvahk).

It may be, but it's not obvious. For example you may have to clean a lot more clothing and effects than with a diapered baby that is being taught EC. If diapers were used for a brief time they'd be reusable for many more children and thus have a lower impact per user.

I'm not disagreeing just that these analyses are always extremely complex.
Good old HN. It's so easy to predict what will happen to a comment like this - in this case, +1 because it's mildly witty compared to the other comments, -1 because someone feels like it shouldn't be upvoted, and another -1 because it's at the bottom or is now relatively content-free compared to the newer posts. Will probably settle around 0 or -1, depending on how long the post stays on the front page. I'd gladly take the two-point hit in order to verify my suspicions.
Not exactly. What I'm proposing is much simpler and lighter weight.

You know, I honestly didn't even consider trademarks as a question for some reason. But, I think that's an awesome point that I can't believe I overlooked, so thanks for pointing out a huge oversight on my part.

I think trademarks have their place, but it's something that's really only useful when you're a larger competitor in your industry.

Ex: The crocodile or american alligator is a keystone species that allows an entire ecology to survive and thrive. Twitter's "trademark" is a keystone because it has allowed numerous companies develop through it's trademark such as tweetdeck and etc. The term tweet has become a dictionary term at this point so their trademark is very valuable. But, it's only valuable now because they've reached critical mass.

The irony is that if you don't trademark your name early, then someone else will steal it before you do. I think that it's a decision that needs to be examined thoroughly because it is somewhat expensive. I will definitely start another podcast series on trademarks specifically to address this issue!

Thanks!

I am struggling to understand how this whole thing doesn't boil down to "we should eliminate jobs that I used to do and hated, and get more people doing jobs like the ones I enjoy and have now"
There's nothing they can reasonably do to not be "fishy" to WL supporters. Releasing the chat transcripts no more gets Wired out of the Lamo/Poulsen quandary than releasing the physical hard copy birth certificate gets Obama out of the birther quandary.

People should just admit it. They don't want the chat logs because it will make them believe Wired more. They want the chat logs because the chat logs are fun drama. It doesn't make you a bad person to concede that; it just makes you a human being.
You could check keystrokes used with C-h l (or M-x view-lossage), but Emacs's whole design is based on extensibility rather than terse, orthogonal, and (usually) single-key commands. Don't find a clever way to knock it down to 30 keystrokes (or whatever) - when you notice a common operation, script it, name it, bind it, now it's two or three keystrokes.
NIST reviews! Official IANA identifiers for TLS! A prove-the-negative patent resolution! And, it'd sure be nice if the NSA came out and endorsed the solution!

Yeah, this is definitely an apples to apples standard compared to what DNSSEC dealt with.

I am, for the record, (a) a proponent of x509 and (in particular) TLS, (b) not a particular fan of "nym security", (c) not optimistic about any ground-up replacement of TCP. It's weird that you're arguing with me about this stuff.

But he's straight-up right about DNS security.
The definition of "pundit" from Wikipedia:

A pundit is someone who offers to mass-media his or her opinion or commentary on a particular subject area (most typically political analysis, the social sciences or sport) on which they are knowledgeable.

Greenwald seems pretty clearly to be offering commentary on these events, and not just straight fact/story-reporting.

How much you like him or find him honest doesn't change what you call what he does. You can set him apart from other "pundits" but it's hard to say he isn't commentating or offering his opinion.
Hah. I really don't care about the personal drama in the logs. I mostly want to see where Assange stands at this point with respect to evidence (aside from potential testimony by Manning) that he violated the espionage act.
Great article. I completely agree with you that Traditional FIs are "ripe for a tech makeover".

It's hard to say if Fintech will outright replace traditional financial institutions but what we know for sure is that banking, as we know it, is going to change drastically. I feel that the global pandemic has pushed technology adoption and banking customers are now more attuned with online banking needs. This will drive the need for third-party APIs.

Big Finance will have to reassess their legacy systems and replace them with solutions that drive speed and agility - something that third party APIs can help bring to the table.

The team at Railz have been working on such a solution. We are a data-as-a-service API for accounting data. We help financial institutions and fintechs by providing them quick, low cost, and direct access to their customers' accounting software and data via a single API.

I don't think a deadly allergy to dogs exists as a condition on its own, you would probably also have a whole lot of terrible respiratory issues when exposed to a lot of other allergens. Someone with a deadly allergy to dogs will probably already require accommodations on the job that shield them from close interaction with people on its entirety.
You are imagining that Yellen is going to able to coerce a EU nation to raise taxes? How would that work?
