s3fs-fuse is a one-to-one mapping and doesn't do things like atomic rename of directories, mutual exclusion of open exclusive, append to file requires rewriting the whole file and no hard links. This breaks the expectations of many linux programs.

I really enjoyed reading about that learning / teaching process as it unfolded. I think the discussion is at the GitHub repository https://github.com/mchakravarty/lets-program , though a glance doesn't reveal how up-to-date it is (it refers to 3 coding sessions, then numbers them 1 through 7).
There's a company here in New Zealand called RaboDirect. Rabo means "tail" in Portuguese (and in Spanish maybe?). But it can also mean arse or ass. In most cases I'd think people were talking about arses than about tails. This was not caught by wordsafety :/

Not sure if you are breaking up words. I remember a friend told me about some algorithm that works for that, and is used by German linguists... not exactly stemmers, but there was another thing that could be useful too.

Anyway, thanks for sharing! Looking great.
When I receive emails and texts or anything for that matter, I try to get back to the original sender quickly. I expect others to do the same. People who violate this I treat on a case by case basis. If I know your life situation (i.e. you are always checking your phone - you are unemployed) and you are unable to get back to me within a couple of days let alone 24 hours, then to me this strongly indicates flakiness, or lack of respect of my time. However, if you are a busy individual with job, family responsibilities and you are unable to get back to me within a couple of days then I will cut you some slack.

Ultimately, however, I find myself gradually mimicking the behavior of my contacts. If you always take your time to get back to me, then I won't see you as a priority and if we are 'friends' or 'romantic partners' then the relationship will gradually erode due to this. However, if you get back to me in a timely manner, you are always on time for appointments and you always let me know beforehand that you are not going to keep an appointment then I will put more effort than I would otherwise into trying to maintain the relationship.

Ask HN: Do you take anti-depressants?
If you take anti-depressants, what has their biggest impact been on your life? Have they made you more productive? Have you experienced any drawbacks?

(I am considering seeing a doctor about depression. I am not sure if what I experience is really depression. I have been wondering, maybe I have never experienced 'normal' as other people do. I wonder if they will help me focus better and be more productive, esp. in my spare time.)
These don't break it down by "start-up" but:

58% from pharmaceutical companies.

18% from biotech companies..

16% from universities, transferred to biotech.

8% from universities, transferred to pharma.

Pharma and biotech companies do develop some drugs themselves, but the majority model is for a start-up to form around a single drug, and if it looks promising a big player buys them up to finish testing and then market it. If the drug looks promising the company is killed.

Venture capital is basically doing the job of drug discovery.

A better way is to develop a multi-continent cluster, which will more adequately stress things like race conditions and jitter. But that's some $60/mo to have enough hosted VM nodes worldwide, and RPis win on cheapness pretty quick there.

They deliberately avoid answering that question. The point is you feed "the machine" with all the data you can, maybe from all the sensors in every Android phone around the world, and "the machine" will tell you what philosophy is (or should be).
With DPI, it's also rather trivial for WiFi providers to block normal VPN traffic - and they do.

There are ways around the DPI with SSL wrapping and such, but it's not always "trivial".

Point in case, I'm living in a town with a population under 40k, and I know of at least 3 places so far which block OpenVPN traffic over both UDP and TCP.

Really? I'd have thought it was a pretty uncontroversial claim that government agencies were funding anti-communist media organizations in the middle of the Cold War (when, let's face it, they were doing it quite openly in many instances). I wouldn't be at all surprised to they are doing something similar with moderate Islamic organizations and interfaith dialogue groups (not to mention many anodyne business ventures with roots in the Middle East) today.

But suggesting that censoring the anti-authoritarian playground that is Reddit or persuading Hacker Newsers of the virtues of the TSA are sufficiently high on their list of current national security priorities to dedicate manpower to in our current environment just seems... rather more of a stretch.

If they are attempting to astroturf these particular corners of the internet it's something of an understatement to say they're not very good at it.
First of all, to be clear, I think that this phenomenon of mass surveillance is appalling. However when I read both your comment and the parent comment I felt something. What was it? - Bullied.They are bullying (even though your intention is to defend against the real material bullying of mass surveillance)

The truth is that although there may be spies here that's are also people who have opinions that are genuinely contrary to yours. You are calling those people "idiots", "dumb", and "NSA agents". This may discourage those people and particularly other people from commenting. I want to hear whatever people think based on their experience. I don't want group think. If we get enough comments like yours and they are upvoted strongly then plenty of people will just shut up because they can see that it will cost them.

You could have made your points as just as strongly without any of this.

I looked up "Bora". No results. The Volkswagen Bora was somewhat famous in Iceland because "Bora" means "Anus". You could drive the Volkswagen Anus! The vendor went out of its way to mispronounce the name in their TV ads as "Bóra", which would be like pronouncing "Anus" as "Aneece" or something like that.

Soundex is optimized for collapsing the spelling of names into a common key and isn't so hot for general words. Metaphone would be a more useful matching algorithm. It also preserves a legible spelling so that you can pass the result onto further fuzzy matching stages like an edit distance measure.

> As a software developer, which tasks do you find most annoying in your daily work?

Having to tell others (contractors, collaborating 3rd parties, etc.) what they shall do and how to do it. We've got an issue tracker and a TODO list and tons of TODO/FIXME/XXX comments in our code base. How about working on those? Pick an issue in the tracker (or if you've found some TODO/FIXME/XXX that hasn't assigned a tracking ID, create a new own) and work on it! Oh, and please don't ask me for a pinned down specification for each and every detail; it takes me more time and work to write down such micromanaging specs, than it'd take me, to write the code myself.

You think meetings are productivity killers? At least you can zone out in those and mentally work problems. People asking to be micromanaged, that's what really grinds my gears.
Why not just target the businesses that the spam is promoting?

Many times they are boiler rooms and are after CC #'s. Sometimes, though, they are for real, local businesses. A carpet cleaning business in my area used a robot call service and I played along to get the name of the business. I then hung up and called them, and asked to speak to the owner. After a while I got him. I gave him a piece of my mind, politely, and told him I would never, ever hire him and I would tell everyone I know the same.

You know what? He didn't give a shit, and was pretty surprised at my call. That means that people don't do what I did and there's little downside for what he did (hiring scumbags).

As we are in the subject, does the brand names "Dickies" "Dick's Sporting Goods" or even the character "Dick Tracy" seems awkward name choices for US people/native english speakers?

Where I used to live, the POTS lines were on separate poles from the power lines in a lot of areas, and the phone lines were far and away more robust than the power lines. During the winter, snow would routinely take out the power in huge areas, sometimes for two weeks or longer, but you could still use the phone if you had a basic trimline model (which everybody kept one around for these situations) into the jack.

Coming from the other side, it seems like "because you should be able to do it manually" seems like a poor reason to not provide the option to have things automated.

The computer is more accurate and faster at determining the type of an expression than humans are. That seems like a big part of the value proposition of static languages. So why not let it tell you the type in the editor instead of having to stop what you are doing to compile it (which may require fiddling with the code to get a meaningful type error)?
I heard that many of the boiler room operations are based in Pakistan, especially those for carpet cleaning or duct cleaning where there are actually people on the call rather than recordings.
which is why, by default on my laptop, I use an ssh tunnel with a SOCKS proxy to get to the web. Truly sad, nothing you could do with your phone or tablet though.

Not that I begrudge them trying to get some money out of their "free" service, and I choose not to use such services.

Of course you will then get MITM routers which link to the free WiFi, offer their own free WiFi on a different channel, and then swap the 'customer id' on the ads going through to send them the money. Or something like that. I'm sure there is a RasPi build to do something like this.

Windows 8.1 & 10 let you mark WiFi networks as "metered". Can't do it with USB or Bluetooth tethering, but anyway it does exactly what you are hoping for- the OS will suppress most background network activity. It even tracks "metered network usage" in a separate bucket from regular network usage.

I would expect OSX has a similar setting somewhere, with the increase in metered networks.

That's a problem for site operators not users if more people force sites to switch to HTTP's more AdNetworks will start serving content via HTTPS.

The good thing is that at least most browsers these days are good at blocking mixed content so you won't have HTTP adds growing tumors due to injections anyhow.

What i don't understand is why AT&T has to do injection in the 1st place they can easily setup their own AdNetwork and partner with the large AdNetworks to route through AT&T's own internal servers.

On phone and tablet you can set up a real VPN, potentially through the same host where you're tunneling.
> Second, the PLB entries do not need to be fixed power-of-two sizes. Each PLB entry has a start and stop offset so protection can be as granular as protecting one byte. In general, though, a single PLB entry will be quite large, covering the whole mapped region.

This seems orthogonal to the choice of PLB vs. TLB. You could make a TLB with a start and stop offset if you really wanted to (though I suppose the increased size per entry would be problematic with TLBs needing to be faster than PLBs (which only need to be as fast as an l1 cache hit).

> The Mill address has a special bit to signify if it is a global address, or whether it is "local" to the process (using a special register which is XORed into the address). This allows the Mill to fork() and all the other things that traditionally have been hard on a SASOS.

Would shared-memory (in the unix sense) be considered global or local? Would read-only text sections be marked global to improve fork performance? I assume CoW is out-of-the-question for non-read-only sections and fork()? If there's a wiki page relating to fork, just point me to it :)

> We are porting Linux, and it will be Linux. Only a very very small part of the HAL will need to know anything Mill-specific :)

The feasibility of this seems obvious to me, as I've seen linux run other SAS platforms that are far more constrained than The Mill.

That quiz at the end makes it almost impossible not to be classified as math anxious to some extent; answering even a single question (out of ten) with anything other than "Not anxious at all" (on its five point scale) gets one classified as "A little bit math-anxious" and told "Hey, who isn't? You don't panic over math, but perhaps you don't like it very much, either".
And let's be frank, these networks are so insecure anyway even if you can connect you likely shouldn't be using it for anything you care about anyway (and certainly nothing that isn't HTTPS).

But even websites which support HTTPS won't mark cookies secure, so the browser will happily upload it to the HTTP version for the world to see.

Ultimately open WiFi hotspots are a security nightmare, it is quite incredible that nothing has been done about it. There's no reason we couldn't utilise something akin to SSL to secure the WiFi connection itself (since the scenario is identical, two previously unknown parties wanting to communicate securely, and utilising an already trusted CA to facilitate that).

I guess as an industry we're just too lazy to make anything except PSK work.

My guess is the FCC asked carriers how to stop it and carriers said it was too hard. It's unlikely that the people the FCC talks to would say that fining them was a good idea.

Or they proposed a fine, then the big carriers said if there was any liability, they'd stop selling to smaller guys and the whole system would stop working.
How come quantum indeterminacy doesn't preclude information preservation?
This is a very good point actually, I have done the same a few times. Of course this works well until you get to code heavily dependent on toolbox functions.

Which leads to another advantage of Matlab (at least as long as you don't have to pay for it) -- the documentation (including toolbox documentation) is way ahead of any competition.

Whoever came up with the R package documentation standard has done that language a great disservice :( IMO, the fact that every R package includes a huge pdf with alphabetical listing of functions and data sets is actively harmful: without it, perhaps more package authors would at least feel compelled to write a 2-page readme.txt (just like various matlab package writers do), and that would have been actually useful.
I agree to your comment. What I do not like is talking about the secret puppeteers and the mysterious hands between the events. Here in turkey we like this sort of talk a lot. The Jewish rule the world. It's Americans' games anyway. Kurds want independence because there's petrol there. Illuminati. These may be true or not, but I'd rather deal with what I see. Speculations and conspiracies don't get you anywhere. Now I do not know if it's proved that the leaders of the ISIS are the people you say them to be, if such, all my comment is useless, but if not, I'd say that we first cut the tentacles, if we were to attack to the bad monstrous bug, then the head will have no room to escape.
