This seems to severely punish those who would even attempt to follow the rules. I've had instances where I can't find the answer to a problem and will spend hours hunting it down. If I had a professor give me a problem with that constraint, I'd probably scour a book for hours. What are you other options? Put "I don't know."?

Seems like this just forces everyone to the same result: those who break the rules will and save themselves time, those that try and follow the rules will probably break after hours, and end up googling anyways.

Maybe I'm missing something but this seems totally absurd.

BSD Now is from three people, the third of which seems to be more of an OpenBSD person. That balances the news out a little more I suspect.
Without the password, it can't quite MitM yet. It presumably makes sure that they user connects to it because it doesn't have WEP/WPA enabled, so the client OS automatically connects to the AP with the same name, but doesn't warn the user that WPA is no longer enabled. It can't spoof the WPA connection because it doesn't have the password yet.
How about when in a few years time there's a scalable, functioning market for hits/murders with bitcoin as payment?

I love the elegance of the bitcoin protocol, but I am worred that the civilized world will have to clamp down on it. You just can't have a place where anyone with enough money (a few k EUR/USD) can perform murders without any reasonable risk of being exposed. This will effectively turn us into a bandit country like Russia. I also think it will become harder to effecticely clamp down on cryptocurrencies as time passes, so time is of an essence.
> "you needs lots of RAM" is bogus.

Depends on what performance you expect to get out of ZFS. I have 4GB in my NAS at home and 12TB of raw disk. It works fine for my needs. I wouldn't use this setup for production as my I/O isn't great unless it's sequential.

HAMMER deduplication only requires ~512MB RAM per 1TB you dedup. The rule of thumb for ZFS is generally 5GB RAM for 1TB of dedup. This is documented on the FreeBSD ZFS wiki.

https://wiki.freebsd.org/ZFSTuningGuide

> Well known data base degradation (not suitable to keep SQL data bases).

He's talking about performance degrading due to multiple layers of logs/journaling. If you configure your ZFS filesystem and database correctly this isn't a problem.

> No file grained journaling like hammer history.

He's talking about the fact that with HAMMER you can basically undelete individual files ... forever (assuming you have enough disk space). You don't need to manually do a snapshot; it retains the ability to undelete anything if you let it.

> Native encryption for ZFS has been only available in Oracle version.

Native encryption as implemented by Oracle is likely vulnerable to watermarking attacks.

You also only mentioned L2ARC once and overlooked that simply adding an L2ARC requires more RAM. A memory constrained system can actually lose performance simply by adding a large L2ARC. Most people don't know this as it's not widely documented.
That's always been the least interesting thing about Docker for me, since Vagrant solves that particular problem much more completely, and has been around a lot longer than Docker has.

Using Docker for this forces you to do things the Docker way, whereas Vagrant is much more OS and CM agnostic. (CM is configuration manager: you can use puppet, chef, ansible, shell, salt or even Docker: whatever you're already using in production).
You actually were an asshole first my friend. You came in with a comment that was rude, not insightful, and seriously uninformed and then announce how you're going to flag it as awful. Everything about what you wrote makes you an asshole, and you started it. There were about a trillion different ways you could have written your comment in a polite yet still direct way to further the discourse along but you chose to be obnoxious.

Don't be butthurt that I'm just better at being an asshole than you are.

The collection is beautiful. Making these works available to the whole world, in an online searchable format is very valuable.

The search facet designations offered by Freer Sackler are useful. It would be cool if visitors/users could generate their own facet designations to allow for user-derived contextual value and meaning related to attributes of each work. Hashtag-enabled comments and meta-collections would be a good first step.

Do you think this would be useful?

"How to Learn complex Things Quickly by realizing they are not that complex at all."

This is such a good observation. When I was first getting into my field, I looked around at the smart senior people around me and thought there was no way I could ever do what they did. Total case of imposter syndrome.

Things like compilers, operating systems, etc. all seemed like magic, and I thought I was too dumb to do that kind of stuff.

But once I started working, I didn't really have a choice... it was either learn or get fired. And digging down into the code made me realize just how... simple? ... some things are. Being able to pull back the curtain and realize there's no magic there. Want to talk to this piece of hardware? Just write this bit pattern to this particular address, then put your data over here, and then send it this command and it works.

Not to say I immediately figured everything I read out. Sometimes it took me hours or days to work through something, especially if it was heavily templated C++ code.

One of the things that really surprised me was looking into build systems for large projects. When I thought about how I'd do it, I could only imagine a disgusting, hacky series of scripts and code generators and things that any sensible developer would scoff at. But when I actually looked at how some projects are put together... they're a disgusting, hacky series of scripts and code generators.

Learning that there's nothing magical about any of this was life changing. I still deal with imposter syndrome, but I feel much more confident that I can learn if I just make myself dive in, even if it seems scary at first.
While I get what you mean, data has the profile links too. Matching the data to real facebook profiles would be near? impossible if the source was not Facebook.
> None of this was considered a real violation of privacy, or at least I never heard anyone really express any concerns about it. Unlisted phone numbers were a thing, but very few people had them and it cost extra to have one. Most people wanted to be in the phone book so others could contact them.

Yes, and I think it was wrong to do so.

I think it's ridiculous to be worried about websites tracking one's noncorporeal identity tied to an integer on the internet compared to that everyone in my sport's club can easily retrieve my physical place of residence.

There are plenty of node interfaces that work well, but it will never work to have everything sprawled out in one space. In houdini and touchdesigner you can just press 'g' to group nodes automatically. The group is given an automatic name by default and you can reference the nodes inside with unix style paths -> /group/subgroup/nodename

Blender's interface problems are about their execution of them, not the fundamental ideas.

Ever heard of a kitchy dive bar having the bathroom door labels on the other door with an arrow pointing to the actual door? |Men ->| _ _ |<- Women|

That's a basic description of blender's interface. It's seems like a fever dream of someone who has never actually had to use it or explain it to anyone.

I've been involved in research, and spent a lot less than 40% of my time "chasing grants" (although it's unclear what activities that one does might be considered "chasing a grant").

And there really isn't that much of a bureaucracy barrier to submitting and maintaining grants, particularly if you have any kind of institutional support. I daresay the kinds of hoops one jumps through to get and keep funding from VC et al make grant applications look like a joy.

In any event, the things you do as a researcher on a day-to-day basis - keeping up on the literature, writing papers and disseminating your findings, thinking hard about your research problem...if done competently, make grant submission easy.
I googled "died while meditating" and found this dude:

It's like a book tour for physical consumer products. That is, if you write a book then your publisher sets you up to speak in 16 or 18 major US cities, but if you've created a product like Bacon Hot Sauce there is no such thing. That's what we're creating with our events, specifically with an audience of the most-followed bloggers and twitter users in each city. The idea is that in recent years new tech startups have been blessed with a ton of amazing opportunities, and we're trying to bring these same opportunities to everyone else.

From the bloggers' point of view, one of the ways they create value is by writing about interesting new products, and what we're offering is an ethical and transparent way for them to discover these products while at the same time getting to meet and interact with the entrepreneurs behind them.

Here is a good writeup that explains it better than I can:

Realm (YC S11) — San Francisco, Copenhagen, some REMOTE (read for details)

Realm is hiring Android Developers, iOS Developers, C++ developers, .NET developers, JavaScript developers, Designers, QA Engineers and more. See all positions at http://realm.io/jobs

Realm (http://realm.io) is building a mobile database: a replacement for SQLIte & Core Data. In 9 months, we became the 2nd-most deployed database in the world, running on well over 100M devices. Our headquarters are in San Francisco, but we also have a big office in Copenhagen, Denmark, and more employees distributed around the world. We just announced we raised a $20M Series B last last month.

We have 2 Android positions that can be filled remotely from either Europe or Brazil, China, Taiwan, Singapore, South Korea. Read the jobs page for details.

See positions, locations and how to apply here: http://realm.io/jobs

If you have any questions, I’m VP Product at Realm and always happy to chat: tim@realm.io.
It’s fully functional without access to your contact list. You just lose auto discovery of contacts, and need to enter their numbers manually. It’s kinda like being back on ICQ, only without the additional contact search functions.

The way I see it, you have three options:

1. Apps that upload your contact list to their server to contact match (like WhatsApp, and others)

2. Apps that use your contact list locally to match (like Signal, and others)

3. Apps that work without your contact list and let you do it manually (like Signal, and others)

Are you looking for a fourth option? If so, what is it?

I refer to remote copying and ensuring proper permissions of a single file. And deleting in case. How more basic could it possibly be?

The permissions may be embarrassing and peculiar for Microsofters, but adding other tooling doesn't simplify.

Well of course anyone has a right to sue, but that doesn't mean the suit has merit, and when you can't point out any actual wrongdoing the argument that "I didn't know what I was purchasing" is the usual fallback for buyer's remorse.
This may have been true in the past, however per https://www.shopify.com/security they are SOC2-certified (SOC2 is significantly more common in North America), they are certainly PCI Level 1, and have GDPR/CCPA compliance requirements. You can also see their 2019 Transparency Report: https://www.shopify.com/security/transparency-report/report-.... It is still possible that their SOC2 and PCI reports could have a number of exceptions, but I would be surprised at this point in their maturity cycle.

> or taking it in a new direction...

Even a cheap, incomplete and buggy ripoff can be qualified as a new direction... I believe Gates' true big innovation was the way he cornered the OEM market into paying the Microsoft tax in a way that made it prohibitively expensive to sell PC clones with software other than Microsoft's.

That's one innovation that had the deepest impact in the personal computer, probably dragging evolution back a decade or more.

Wine is actually quite similar to this: It's not an interpreter or an emulator, it natively runs the executable on the host CPU. What it does is provide the WinAPI dynamic libraries that the programs expect (so they can call functions like CreateFile) and a loader that can load the exe files (PE) into memory and knows where to jump to.

UK.

Currently I can be given 2 months notice at any time.

This is actually preferable to on the earlier time with this tenancy, where I could be given 2 months notice and also the landlord makes an active decision whether to renew or decline every 12 months.

In fact they always send a no-reason formal eviction notice 3 months before the end of each 12 months renewal as a matter of policy, just to rub it in.

(I would be surprised if that's legal. It seems against the spirit of eviction law where timescales are supposed to begin when a tenant refuses to leave, not months before they are supposed to leave)

On one occasion they did decline to renew, giving no reason. They changed their mind at the last moment after I had a chat with the landlord's property manager. That was a source of great stress for me, not even knowing why.

Eventually I found out. The agency (not landlord) told me, to my face, that they didn't know the why, couldn't get a reason, but the landlord had decided not to renew. But later the landlord's property manager told me that the agency had lied to my face and the landlord did not initiate the decline.

It was the agency who had made the recommendation. I saw it advertised briefly at ~35% raise, so I suspect that was their motivation. These are not rent-controlled, I already pay a substantially above inflation annual raise, so it's not stuck on an ancient rate. If they had got a tenant in to replace me, not only would they have increased their agency fees as a percentage, they would have charged the landlord additional fees for processing a new tenant as well.
Yes we can do that. There's a real opportunity here to define a novel API / framework on top of Cosmopolitan that does just that. It's something I myself have personally refrained from, mostly because fiddling with the low level bits is what I'm best at, and novel APIs require a certain kind of artist. But I'm certain that someone if not myself at some point is going to come along and use Cosmo for that purpose and it'll be pretty cool.

It drives off a reasonable number of high-performing people as well, though obviously not all. One of the problems systems like stack ranking have encountered is that some proportion of people who are really good and not the intended target of the system end up very stressed out by it. Varying reasons: some people underestimate their own skills, some are worried about the system's false-positive rate, some are stressed out by worries about coworkers being fired even if not worried about their own job, etc.
> From those categorical statements I guess you are one of those that objects to sites defaulting to a language guessed from your ip location, or google trying to [auto complete your search]

I think it's a stretch to compare using geolocation to make a good assumption about linguistics or using natural language processing to make a good assumption about a search completion, to using political rhetoric to make an objectively regressive default.

I suppose if you considered the filter being on by default a "suggestion" (in the way that a language is suggested or a search term is suggested) then I could see the comparison, but that's a policy decision, and you as well as every other adult on the planet should be capable of self-policing.
> Humans produce sounds, lions produce sounds. Humans have mouths, lions have mouths. Where is the substantial difference between the two?

I asked you a question regarding your previous claim. You responded with a downvote and a rhetorical counter but, again, no answer.

I'm mildly familiar with the JVM. I'm very familiar with Python's virtual machine implementation. I ask again: what is the substantial difference between the two? Rhetorical wizardry does not impress me: I actually want to know what your answer is. You said that there is a "qualitative difference" between the two and now have replied implying that it's a substantial difference. I don't understand your reticence to give a real answer here.

> Even conceptually, interpreters and compilers differ in certain aspects.

That has absolutely nothing to do with my question, and I don't see how it would substantially differentiate between the two implementations we're discussing.
One man's "obvious" is another man's "stunning discovery".

Perhaps the "this is old hat" people are just saying they only heard of it themselves yesterday or perhaps - as is very common - something is indeed obvious after you've heard it for the first time.
I like that. I'll think about the right bullet points to add and put it near the video.
The highlighter would have killed my interest if not for readability. It is incredibly annoying to read any decent portion of consistent text with the highlighter turned on.
All valid points. Thanks!

1. A good idea. I could summorize the main points made in the video in text underneath.

2. I think going through basic points are valuable too because they speak to non-techy users too.

3. I'm torn. Perhaps # is a better character for tags. Fortunately it's just a GUI thing as the @ is stripped before going into the database.

4. Good point. I'm just not sure yet where to fit in such a text without adding noise. Perhaps I'll make an FAQ page.
