s3fs also layers a filesystem on top of S3 but preserves the native object format:

This approach allows use of other tools like s3cmd and the Amazon web console but prevents advanced features like deduplication and snapshotting.
They did one thing really well. They actually provide a running system. You linked to Nizza and EROS papers, not software. Genode provides a "framework" - and basically runs complete systems in separate windows.

QubesOS provides a familiar environment where applications can be labeled with different security contexts and run completely isolated from each other. Basically they win on execution right now. I'm sure there are loads of interesting approaches and papers describing how to make things better. But QubesOS is a product and it works. It also provides a user documentation, while genode docs give you c function signatures.
To detect the key, sure. But then there's the interface design to inform the user, hooking in to an email to notify the user if they're committing via git, a system to disable the option if necessary, monitoring the AWS format in case it changes, dealing with other formats that are requested by AWS's competitors, and so on.

I don't think this would be a minor undertaking or simple in any way, but it is important enough that a provider (and target) the size of GitHub should still do it.

Yeah, I find the claim that Safari "is a mess" compared to Chrome extremely unfair (if not just plain insulting to the WebKit contributors), given that Blink and WebKit are so close to each other. The overall architectures of the two engines are incredibly similar, despite having diverged somewhat over time.

As an aside, the number of people who are qualified to speak about the "messiness" of rendering engine architecture is incredibly low.

College, what the rest of the world might call university, has value beyond paychecks. I know it is popular to look down on higher education these days, but there are real personal advantages. Anyone leaving a proper university at least knows how to read and write. That cannot be said of today's highschool students.

I truly enjoy being able to follow science even though is has nothing to do with my field. The ability to pick up and journal on astronomy and understand everything it has to say is something I could not have developed at a vocational school. A couple months of in a hard-math stellar astronomy course yields a lifetime of enjoyment.
I'm not sure what the point would be - OwnCloud already knows how to work with S3 directly.
Where was that number pulled off? That's 10K over the median household income in the US.
Any how I wasn't saying that having a homemaker ins't economically sound under certain economic conditions i was saying that it's less common in middle class and higher families than in lower class families.
When both parents are educated and have a career they don't want to give that up, when both of them make enough to allow them selves to continue to work especially after thee infancy period they are more likely to do so.
Upper classes also have higher chances of having grandparents who've retired earlier and are also actually being able to live on their retirement and are able to help with childcare.
They are also more likely to work in companies that provide childcare assistance or services to their employees.

Combine all those factors and many more and you get to a point where income inequality actually forces people to become stay at home mom/dad's while the more financially stable classes can afford to continue with their careers.

I can't think of a definition of "compute" that would both include analog computers, but exclude e.g. a rock thrown.

I'm not sure how you could argue against the fact that in a near vacuum and a fixed gravitational field, a rock thrown will compute a fairly accurate approximation of a parabola.
> I'm no less interested in Fibonacci numbers, their occurrence (alongside other patterns) in nature

Can you name an example of where it occurs?
Really? It's like we're reading a different article. The author says several times that, sure, spirals that approximately but predictably implement the golden ratio exist, but so do others.

As if that's supposed to convince the reader of something.

I took this to be the thesis:

> We have noted above that not all spirals in mathematics or in nature are golden spirals. Likewise, spirals can be produced by non-biological processes if the discrete elements which make up the spiral are laid down according to some simple rules. The problem for biologists is to find those rules. Merely asserting that "nature seems to prefer fibonacci numbers" (most of the time, in certain particular cases) isn't an explanation.

If this is the "flim flam" that's being debunked, it's blaspheming a religion with no followers.

Hmmm... You have a point. I have to say though that the read-write mode was not part of LMDB's original design; it was added in response to a request from a RedHat engineer. So in its purest original form, LMDB was completely incorruptible.

In practice we've also found that writable mmap is only a win when your entire DB resides in RAM. When the DB is larger than RAM it's actually slower than just using write(). (When you try to write to an mmap page, if it's not already resident the OS must page it in. This is a wasted page-in since we're simply going to overwrite the entire page.)

I'm still stuck for texturing, modelling and animation, but having a powerful engine does give you a leg up.
...yes, of course. Are you saying that the article claims that there are no examples? Because it doesn't say that.

> "This is one part of nature where the fibonacci sequence and related sequences seem to show up uncommonly often, and it's legitimate to inquire why. The interesting cases are seedheads in plants such as sunflowers, and the bract patterns of pinecones and pineapples."

Reducing seedhead patterns to "one part of nature" is obviously loaded verbage, but even if it weren't, I still don't understand what "flim flam" this is debunking.

For any purchase I like to ask people, "Is this an investment, or is it a hobby?". It applies to anything from houses (usually a decent investment) to cars (usually a poor investment but often needed as part of an investment in a career to commute), and even a college education.

If you're independently wealthy [1] or your family will take care of you, viewing college expenses as an enrichment experience (akin to a trip to Europe) is just fine. If you see it as an investment with future earning returns, then its cost efficacy must be examined rigorously.

What you mean to say is that market rate would go down for the average new arrival.

I was taking the words "market rate" to mean "rate negotiated by people operating at arms length" as opposed to "rate dictated by government without any negotiations having taken place". But yes.

But why should anyone who already lives here care about that person?

They don't. And that's exactly the problem with rent controls: They benefit the current local residents at the expense of future residents, and hurt society as a whole. It's the same problem as property tax controls (current owners pay lower rates than future owners) and union seniority rules (current union members get paid more than future union members), which is why some states have laws prohibiting rent control in spite of the desire by local governments to impose it.
Just as an example app.

Basically, use S3 the same way you use an in house SAN.

Also, if I remember correctly, S3 integration is per account, and only if you enable the external file storage app. It wouldn't let you store all data on S3. So, mounting a bucket as the OwnCloud data folder would be the way I'd get that.

I highly value my college experience, but then again I was able to avoid student loans by becoming a staff member and getting essentially a full scholarship plus health care (since there was no bachelors degree applicable for a web development job back then).

I can't help but notice that the way student loans are handed out like candy to 18 year-olds who do not yet have the education and experience to understand the implication of those loan burdens is a pretty slimy modus operandi. It just doesn't jive with the high-minded ideals that university's tout publicly.

No no, there are torrents for all of these videos (at least usually). However, torrents are slightly less convenient in that you can't play the file until the download completes. For me personally it's also an upside that HTTP is easier to proxy, and there's no need to seed. That said, torrents will probably be a better solution for many people. If you're interested, I wrote a tool a while back that scanned torrent sites for the newest episode of a particular show and automatically downloaded and started the torrent: https://github.com/jonhoo/smore. No idea if it still works, but shouldn't be too hard to get it up and running again.
>> Looking at "modern" C++ makes me angry. I wasted so much time learning all of this incidental complexity that just gets in the way of software development.

C++ was a huge part of my life as a developer back in the late 80's and early 90's. I used it. I taught it to other developers at major corporations. I once met Bjarne at a conference and he signed my copy of the ARM. It wouldn't make sense to view all of that period as wasted time. C++ was the best tool for a lot of tasks for a long time. It was the most powerful and expressive implementation of OOP (imo) at a time when we were just beginning to understand higher levels of abstraction in program structure. Yes, we've moved on, and it would be strange if we hadn't. I don't see any reason to regard the path we've traveled as a waste, though.

Forecasted ROIs are meaningless considering major is more important for ROI than where you went to school. Harvey Mudd isn't a better university than Harvard, Yale, or Princeton just because its graduates go almost exclusively into what is currently a lucrative field. (MIT, Caltech, and Harvey Mudd are good because of their rigor, which is unrelated.) As it stands, a forecasted ROI ranking would almost certainly be topped by miscellaneous dev bootcamps because of their cost structure.

I might be misunderstanding your conditions, but I would say no, waking up only on tails would not count, unless of course you got to make your choice after the researcher indicates they're about to put you back to sleep. Then you obviously know that the coin flip was tails! But in any case where you have just awoken after having had your memory wiped, and you have not been told anything by the researcher, you have been given no new info.

I think, if you are told it's your first awakening, then you still must assume 50% heads or tails: in both cases, you will always have a first awakening, so there is no new info there. However, since you will not be told this in your second awakening, if that occurs, you know immediately the coin must have come up tails.

It sounds like the author really doesn't like apps that phone home to Apple, though.

It might have been nice for the author to state explicitly which steps are aimed at security and which for privacy.
Off the block
To temper my rant (whose edit window has expired), I just want to note that Berkeley DB clearly was, at one point, a very well-designed, minimalistic and modular embedded key-value store. Almost all of my issues are with the features it has grown, like barnacles, over the past decade (or even two) to accommodate use cases which are better served by other databases designed with those features in mind. If you use it for what it was originally designed for, I am sure it is fantastic. Just don't pretend that it's anything more, despite what its most recent incarnations claim it to be.

Fluid Coupling
I was recently looking into options for offsite, encrypted (at-rest & in-transit), deduplicated, snapshotted, backups to S3. S3QL was one of the options I investigated, but unfortunately their crypto is MAC-then-encrypt [0], which is no good.

A small sample of the other options considered:

* EncFS + rsnapshot/rdiff-backup
* Weak cryptography in EncFS [1]
* Duplicity
* Uses forward snapshots, so recovery takes longer with each successive snapshot, unless you upload a "fresh" copy of the data
* ext4 on LVM on LUKS on a loopback device provided by s3backer [2]
* OK I'll admit this one is pretty far out there, but it actually works decently well (ignoring the massive FUSE overhead)
* Downside: a slight hiccup in network connectivity guarantees data corruption
* Attic
* Known data corruption issues with large datasets [3]

Does anyone know of anything that can provide the above requirements? At this point it's really more of a thought experiment, as I've decided to go with Tarsnap [4] for my use-case.
