It would be lovely to know the feature-set differences between the four (or is it three now), prototypes they have upto SN15 as it stands...

It would be awesome to know the outcome of "fixed six ways to sunday" resulted in WRT to how they fix this issue, it would also be cool to know if the solutions they come up with for the CH4 Methane Leak, are transferable to other systems on the machine.
My experience has been similar. The most important thing that can't be easily resolved is if the server's IP is already on the blocklists, but other than that DKIM, DMARC, SPF, and reverse resolution together solves the ~~magical ritual~~ heuristics that make the big guys happy.
Greenland itself, however, left the EEC in 1982.
Depending on what you need, a NAS + Syncthing is much simpler than the linked article. Building a PC isn't hard, and keeps prices down. These days, a RPi 4+2 USB HDDs would run circles around the motherboard on my NAS.

Syncthing is a great continuous backup solution. I use ~/NOTES as a scratchpad, and it updates automatically between my various computers. It gives you pretty granular control over shares, and I back up critical stuff to a cloud provider.

That said, there's no calendar/email/notes. XigmaNAS is built on FreeBSD, and will happily run NextCloud or a photo gallery or whatever.
I honestly thought about this question but thought I would get laughed out of the room for asking. Good on OP for having the guts haha. There were several posts in the past of people complaining about "vest and rest" and I kept thinking, man... that sounds pretty sweet
i suggest you read 'bartleby the scrivener' by herman melville[1]. bartleby is most famous for the scene(s) where he tells his manager 'i'd prefer not to' when asked to do basic parts of his job. the full short story is much richer than its most cited line, however, and it could be helpful for your situation. bartleby works hard at first, but then starts acting more and more eccentric, eventually sleeping overnight at his workplace. his manager is the narrator and the slow transition of his perception of bartleby is fantastically done by melville.

also in this vein, somethingawful had an ancient story about a guy who got reorg'd into a position of no responsibility that was pretty great. i can only seem to find the third installment[2] of the series, though. like bartleby, he begins by doing good work for a while. but where bartleby's abdication of duty is intentional, driven by something like a depressive episode, somethingawful-guy's company slowly just stops asking him to do things as waves of reorgs and mergers leave him 'on the heap, but without any references' as it were. the zany antics of avoiding his hr dept are quite fun and i think the whole thing should be dramatized.

I'm on this journey with two friends and they just waste all the money on expensive restaurants and wine, it's crazy. Then they will say something like "Yeah but this bill is only x hours of work!" but then you end up with almost no money because when you don't know how to save then it's really easy to waste it all that way.

Now I'm just the opposite, I have a really hard time wasting money. By now I never had so much money in my life and still I'm completely unable to buy a Macbook Air* or something similar... I've been having some hard time trying to make my brain understand that it is quite okay to pay $30 for some dinner every once in a while. Does anyone else have this "problem"?

* Which, by my friends' reasoning, is just three days of work, at most.
Indeed, that's why I didn't say: "all Indians are like this". It's just surprising how many graduates from Indian universities seem to be completely uneducated in a broader sense. It makes one realise the value of (or problems arising from) common unspoken assumptions.
Usually I have hard to solve ground loop noise issues with my Raspberry Pi based synths when used in combinaton with other synths.
So while this is for sure a nice project, with all due respect and kudos, for those really only interested in the DX7 sound, it is probably better to look into the new Volka FM 2.
Pretty silly statement since both parties are in support of this agreement. Not every single politician of course but in general it's something both support.

It redirects to the free Stanza ebook reader, I think that's why.
I'm too lazy to read through the changelogs to filter out the latest features, idioms.
Is there a place on the web where interested developers can update their knowledge, sth. like an overview over the state of the art of Perl (most important improvements since 5.8, e.g. smart matching etc.)?
I am struggling to see how this is even remotely HN.
But no mention of Windows Mobile 7....
I abandoned The New Yorker a while ago. The entire magazine is one big woke circle jerk. These are people who get high off of smelling their own farts. The bias is everywhere in the magazine. Their long-form investigative work hasn't produced something interesting in some time. They must have lost their talented writers and editors in a woke war.

So, I don't really care what someone from the New Yorker has to say about Joe Rogan, as they join the cancel crusade.

If anything, I may sign up for Spotify for standing up against cancel culture, and I won't be subscribing to the New Yorker at time soon.
Also we have made no effort to hide this information.

We have applied SIMD optimizations only to ARM because thats our business. Licensing computer vision algorithms on ARM.

Speculation: they didn't want the money, they wanted the buzz.

They didn't even have all their parts picked out, did they? But they'll be able to use this for leverage with manufacturers/investors/whatever.

I've been intrigued as to why Mormons have such an seemingly disproportionate "success" rate, and ended up doing a bit of research on the matter. It really seems like it comes down to facing failure repeatedly. And most of them get the experience when they're around college age as well. I've been trying to figure out how we could build something secular into normal primary education that would achieve the same result.
Indiegogo take the money and then refund if unsuccessful, so in a way they did raise the money, at least people were willing to part with it immediately.
No, I'm pretty sure it's just saying that it's hosted in the Germany... Our primary company servers are hosted in Germany, because that gives the lowest overall latency for the locations of our employees, maybe it's just a similar technical reason?

And it's so slow that I suspect it's running from someone's bedroom, anyway.

You cannot accept a paycheck from a company, while also be trying to subvert it internally.

This is a 2^15 hours bug, not a 2^16 hours bug. Odds are, somewhere in the SSD firmware source code, there's a missing "unsigned". And in the Makefile, probably a missing "-Wextra".
Consumers currently don't pay for digital services, so an advanced service of the kind you describe (consumer intelligence, needing ML, etc) isn't economically viable, except by selling data or showing ads, the two currently known viable business models of selling to consumers. Which, of course, you don't want.
Oh I'm not implying it's a common bug. I was just saying that there's nothing in the description that makes it look SSD exclusive. To completely brick the drive sounds more like a controller failure. So such a bug could just as easily kill an HDD controller.

SSDs have insanely complex firmware when compared to HDDs so letting this kind of bug slip through is an easier mistake to make in their case.
Ah yes, but that's not entirely accurate. You still get geo-located ads if you haven't given location permission. Apple's ads don't show a notification and since you don't know when your UUID is given out if another app has given your location ads all over can be targeted.

You can opt out of iAds location stuff though, head to: http://oo.apple.com/

And I will say the new location settings in iOS 4 that let you quickly see what is requesting (and recently used) your location are nice.
The problem this is seeking to fix is to localize food production as best as possible. And that's in the context of the current situation, where food is not produced in the outskirts, but halfway across the world.

Purchasing land 30 miles outside of a city falls well within the confines of urban agriculture, especially since indoor ag means a year-long growing cycle. This means that Detroit or Iceland don't need to rely on South American growers for certain seasonal items.

The small shipping distance necessary for putting these in New Jersey, greater Chicagoland, etc., there's no argument against that, but yet, people keep citing downtown Manhattan as impractical for farming. Of course it's impractical for farming, it's damn near impractical for living.
No, of course not. However, it isn't an excuse for censorship. It is an excuse for going after the people producing it, and monitoring those who consume it (in the USA, the FBI is the largest distributor of child porn, with the goal of arresting people who look at it, for instance). Also, there's a pretty huge difference between censoring all the pornography on the internet (which would inevitably include lots of non-pornographic content) and occasionally asking hosting companies to remove illegal content from their networks as part of legal action against the offending individuals.

Also, as an aside, I find it interesting that child porn tends to crop up in every single discussion of censoring the internet. It's something that pretty much everyone agrees is wrong, true, but it's not an argument for generalized censorship, any more than the existence of child abuse is an argument for putting sensors on every child in the world to see if they're being abused.
That's certainly true. We feel like the service offers a superior experience for this particular usage than Flickr.
Every programmer should learn a little Lisp! Even if you just get through the first two chapters I think it would be helpful, and many of the ideas carry over effortlessly to Python. (Higher order functions, closures, functions returning functions, etc.) I spend most of my free time coding in Python but learning Scheme was great for me, and the styles go really well with event-driven designs you have to implement a lot in JavaScript/ActionScript.

There's also a pretty good series of recorded lectures Berkeley gives in conjunction with the book over at http://academicearth.org/courses/the-structure-and-interpret... if you have lots of free time.
That's why you figure that shit out before you get the wife and the mortgage. But, either way, you can still do it you just have to do it slowly and in your free time. Making your passion your full time job does not make it annoying!!!! I LOVE WHAT I DO EVEN MORE NOW THAT I WORK FOR MY SELF! When I worked in a cubicle farm like you and cranked out commodity software, I fucking hated programming.

Think of a fun idea, doesn't have to be academically innovative, just something useful to people and start cranking on it. I did that. I have a full time job from it now and holy shit do I love it. There are days I work 12 hours, but you know what? I feel awesome afterwards. After a 12 hour day in the office of company x I always needed a beer and bitched about shit for half a day.

Sorry for all the french. I just can't stress these points enough - same points Smith is making, really. I don't even make "a lot" of money, just enough to be upper middle class. I love my work, my life feels fulfilling, and I have money to do what I want with it.

If you don't have kids, I recommend waiting on that ride - it's tough enough that you have a wife. Hopefully she's a cool chick and will support/help you during transition and well into the wild journey of working for yourself.

[EDIT] To clarify the final paragraph: I don't mean to rag on wives/girlfriends (I have a girlfriend), it's just that, if she isn't a cool person and you are emotionally dependent then you lose a certain amount of autonomy and freedom to move around and do things (like leave your job and move into a two bedroom apartment). My girl happily downsized from a house to a two bedroom apartment when we moved to San Diego. It took her a year, but she sold the majority of her junk and we are now much happier (TBH). We also don't share finances (I have a thing against that) so it helped her save some money for other things/experiences as well.
IANAL, of course, but ...

1. There's no suitable legal entity that could receive the copyright/rights on behalf of the PostgreSQL project. There are entities handling domains/... but that's not really useful.

2. The fact that developers keep all the rights (except for implicitly allowing use by submitting the patches) makes the project immune to particular changes. For example no one can suddenly change the license used by the project - it's going to be MIT-like license forewer.

3. I really wonder how this CLA works outside USA, in countries with different copyright laws. Say, Europe, Japan, South America - where a lot of PostgreSQL contributors live.

The fact that PostgreSQL has no CLA is one of the reasons why I work on this project. I'm the one who keeps copyright, etc. I'm not saying establishing a CLA would make me quit immediately.

Moreover, I don't see how a CLA could be established after 15+ years of a project.
If you think jewelry is what gives gold most of its value you are a little confused.
> "You basically just can't come in, bro up, stack up and get the f* out."

Sadly, this is a myth that has been perpetuated since the literal Gold Rush and before. Life is tough. There's no need to drink stylish $12 wine (read Balzac's Lost Illusions- it's a story about a poet who borrows money from his friends to Make It Big in Paris and utterly fucks everything up. It seems like we never learn from history.)

I don't think it's safe or fair to say that any place is unplugged from reality. Reality is what it is. And when you have opportunists flooding a place, it behaves differently, operates differently.

Sorry about your GF, but again– nobody owes anybody anything. Welcome to reality. You should probably take a long break. Things might not be as bleak as they seem- your experience might teach you some things you don't realize you're learning. (That said, some people seem to just blunder ahead for years and years: http://michalsobel.com/en/experiences/the-idea-of-giving-up-... )

Thinking further about this: How do you avoid tiredness? What you describe isn't just run-of-the-mill tiredness, but the sort of exhaustion you get when you've been pushing at a door marked 'pull'. If you create something of value and get positive feedback, that gives you the energy you need to continue along the process. It's absolutely crucial to get to your personal a-ha moments as fast as you can, because otherwise you run yourself aground.
What mining does in Bitcoin is to generate consensus, so that everyone agrees on the financial history, which === keeping track of what public key owns what amount.

The actual hashes are pretty worthless, but that's the service mining is providing. Personally, I think it's kinda worthless to build a bunch of skyscraper on perfectly fine land just to fill with people working for some bank, just to keep my $ secure. For my intents and purposes, having a bank company (with employees, offices, leaders who get compensated like kings, etc) is a bigger waste that I can't wait to get rid of. Same with my VISA debit card, employing thousands just to let me access my money. Also charging a 3% fee on every transaction.

If only there was some kind of network of computer programs that could replace those people...
Actually, Bitcoin is already accepted by more people than many fiat currencies.
If 20% of your network goes down and you can still serve clients normally, it means that you have a big reserve of machines useful only in case in big outages. I don't know if you can justify it economically.

Just spin more EC2 instances ?
As the current maintainer of TurboGears, I've been thinking a lot about the python web framework world for the last couple of years, and I have been thinking for a long time that there's too much splintering of effort.

One choice to solve that problem would be to all join Django, which is widely used, and has an active developer community. But they have a very strong point of view about how web applications should be developed, and as a result django isn't that flexible.

So, in the end what we need is a strong alternative to Django that is flexible, uses existing libraries to good effect, and just works. By joining together in the Pylons Project around the Pyramid framework, that's just what we're aiming to do.
What's the difference? (Not a sarcastic or leading question, if VPS isn't "cloud" hosting, then what is?)
I think that there are good reasons for either option. Working with a good publisher provides help on tuning up a book idea, copy and tech editing, etc. When I was writing my last book (for Apress) I had about 5 people actively helping me. I especially enjoyed working with my tech editor.

I also use Lulu and make a reasonable amount of money given that my self-published books are very much niche topics. I am fortunate that my wife is a great editor and I usually get useful feedback from people reading work in progress versions of my self published books.

I have been experimenting with producing formats for Kindles, etc., and the article gave me some inspiration to put more energy into supporting eReaders. One problem with this: I have always given away free PDFs for my self-published print books, and I like doing that.

Writing is a great activity and I have tried to talk many friends into writing a book.
Maybe what you mean is that there's no GNU in their Linux?
Unfortunately, evolutionary pressure can't act on a) mutations caused by (foreign) viruses or b) hereditary mutations only expressed late in life, after child-bearing years. Once we've had our children and raised them to be independent, evolution doesn't really care what happens to us and there is little selective pressure to prevent cancer-causing mutations.

There are exceptions to this, but they are few.

Now its simpler I believe. The screen is scanned by an electron beam, the gun senses the bright pulse when the beam passes the point its focused on, the game correlates pulse to screen position.
I don't mean installing the software, I mean hardening the box so it's not a sitting duck. It takes time. Sure, there are fire-and-forget ways to setup mail software like Roundcube, but I am referring to VPSes themselves. There are innumerable things that can go wrong. I will outline a two of the most (usually overlooked) ones:

Origin Shield: You don't want the raw IP of a box anywhere near the public Internet. Attackers can scan for IPs if they want an IP, but they should never have to simply ping a server and its IP is in plain sight.

Auto-update: The box should respond to the current threat landscape. There was a massive uptick in sysadmins logging into old and forgotten boxes when Heartbleed came out. You want to be able to auto-patch and very rarely (if ever) SSH into a box.

Those are just two of the things I've learned the hard way recently, and yeah; they're probably obvious low hanging fruit stuff. But the list goes on...
I did exactly the same. I had a nice D700 setup with lots of nice glass. I sold it all, and used the proceeds to by an OM-D EM-5 and a full set of primes. (Free camera!) My D700 was great when my kids were very small, and my photos were mostly taken inside my house. Now they are 6 and 12, and I found I didn't feel like taking my D700 on outings with my kids. I was missing too many shots by not having my camera. You know: "the best camera is the one you have with you."

I'm hoping that the new Olympus EM-1 (a video leaked last week of that) will be a big seller for them, and take some the business pressure off.

Thanks for the pointer to Thom Hogan's mirroless site, I only read his Nikon site. And Ming Thein is a favorite of mine, good to see him on HN.
What GPU? Modern drivers? That's definitely a driver mess, pretty hard to cause something like that to happen if you're just feeding WebGL buffers to the driver...
"Why does the blog posting only mention fork and prefork as options?"

Because this is a Linux kernel feature involving sharing a socket amongst multiple OS processes, and is therefore only interesting to talk about if you are using multiple OS processes. It's not a generalized primer on all techniques of handling IO.
But those aren't identical. If I lose the $100 bill, I'm out those hundred bucks whether I buy a ticket or not. Whereas if I lose the ticket, I get to keep the money if I don't buy a replacement.
I suspect most people will never look at their digital photos at full resolution, ever. We are already effectively throwing away image data from our existing photos. Surely that's a good sign that our pictures are good enough?
This seems very relevant to people using Node, considering it has basically standardized around the "pre-fork" [0] model as a way to use more than one core. It'll be interesting to see where this goes.

I understand what you're getting at, but limerence certainly can be a bad thing, as msluyter pointed out (" Like a lot of things, it lies on a spectrum from pleasurable to pathological or dangerous.").

It's a battle even less worth fighting, because "begging the question" in the old meaning doesn't serve any really useful purpose that can't be served more clearly by "assuming the conclusion" in most cases, and may itself be the product of a mistranslation from Greek to Latin to English. See: http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=2290
That is the really nice thing about this - it looks to be totally trickle down .. from a base setting to groups to individuals within those groups
Sure but that's not what I'm talking about and you know it. I mean large well-known and easily accessible versions of those.
And with all this power these companies still somehow never manage to become profitable. It seem to that the consumer is benefiting the most in this situation because both the VC and labor keep having to subsidize him
> This is the more traditional definition

In this sentence traditional can either mean "old" or "common". If you meant "old", then I agree, but currently it is not the more common one.

For the sake of clarity, if you only meant the more narrow definition of currency supply inflation in you parent comment then it's probably good to say so.
When valve picked up dota, league of legends was the most played multiplayer pc game in the world. I think it’s more likely that valve was afraid of exodus of pc gamers from their platform.
