Well, I don't know what your upload speed was - a normal ownCloud setup can saturate the link speed with large files, a bit less with small ones though the latest versions get very close.

Of course, if the link is slow, 180GB is going to take a while.

If it wasn't the link speed then I suggest having a look at the manual: https://doc.owncloud.org/server/8.2/admin_manual/configurati...
Seems like the biggest takeaway is "have good tooling and instrumentation". I'm working with a complicated legacy production system, trying to rebuild pieces of it, and we have little or no instrumentation. Even _introducing_ such tooling is a potentially breaking change to production systems. Ach schade.

Angular 2 Beta released
I've been using nvAlt for a while. Very fast search and ease of use. Not sure how well it scales in the long run but thus far I've had no problems.

Edit to add: Some other interesting features. You can sync to Simplenote automatically, and notes can be saved as text files for easy import/export. There is some markdown support (though I see a number of bugs in the preview). The main downsides appear to be: limited color schemes, no syntax highlighting for markdown, development appears to have stalled.
I have a git repo with notes on all the things I'm interested in, a few larger files (some books I always reference, some images etc.).

Over time I've built up some scripts to help with general tasks, eg list TODOs etc.. It's perfectly moulded to my needs. For example, when I find a new utility I run mk_notes.sh [thing], which sets up three files:

- links (for relevant web links)
- thing.txt (which has basic info about it)
- cheat_sheet.txt (which has quick useful things I want to keep)

These files suffice for the majority of cases. I used to have more, but found that was over-engineered.

I'm not sure I could buy such a thing, and if I did, I'd get irritated with some aspect of it sooner or later.

Search is easy (grep et al), git means it's available everywhere (for me).

It's literally changed my life, since I now don't 'lose' any research, and can pick up threads later and build.

The flexibility of Jenkins continually impresses me. Given :

1) Simple UI (for simple usecases)
2) Easy setup on single node or multi-node scenarios
3)Automation capabilities

Unfortunately there are some gaps that make it just enough of a pain to really take up in a Production 24x7 env.

1) In a distributed setup, there are very minimal node management capabilities unless you manually integrate with say Zookeeper or something.

2) the plugins for backing up and restoring configurations are "lacking" to put it politely

3) Very hard to change the Master machine in a master slave set-up

4)etc etc

So while Jenkins is a like the Swiss army knife for CI be careful that you don't take it to a (multi-node production) Gunfight - to stretch the analogy.
Github sounds like a great place to work.

Seriously, that's fud. Ok, you're running a NAS so I bet you have hopelessly outdated software on there and it's a miracle anything runs on it, including ownCloud. We probably shouldn't go through so much trouble making it run on any platform we can make it run on.

But ownCloud doesn't use bash, doesn't use perl - it is all PHP, javascript, html and CSS. If your NAS build does weird stuff to work around the limitations of your NAS - well, that's one reason we're trying to build something new...
I'll highlight something I've learned in both succeeding and failing at this metric: When rewriting something, you should generally strive for a drop-in replacement that does the same thing, in some cases, even matching bug-for-bug, or, as in the article, taking a very close look at the new vs. the old bugs.

It's tempting to throw away the old thing and write a brand new bright shiny thing with a new API and a new data models and generally NEW ALL THE THINGS!, but that is a high-risk approach that is usually without correspondingly high payoffs. The closer you can get to drop-in replacement, the happier you will be. You can then separate the risks of deployment vs. the new shiny features/bug fixes you want to deploy, and since risks tend to multiply rather than add, anything you can do to cut risks into two halves is still almost always a big win even if the "total risk" is still in some sense the same.

Took me a lot of years to learn this. (Currently paying for the fact that I just sorta failed to do a correct drop-in replacement because I was drop-in replacing a system with no test coverage, official semantics, or even necessarily agreement by all consumers what it was and how it works, let alone how it should work.)
Good point. We'll look at making it public on GitHub, and how to encrypt the data and how to handle keys is something we're playing around with. Any ideas of what would make you more comfortable with the encryption?
I liked Flattr, but it seemed like a number of people whose content I consumed (Web Cartoonists, Bloggers, etc.) just weren't on board with it. A couple months ago, I ended up getting rid of Flattr and transferring all of my contributions over to Patreon.

I had an issue a few years ago.

I was having frequent acid reflux and 2-3 nights a week, I'd wake up choking on it. This lead to issues with difficulty breathing and shortness of breath.

My doctor treated me with an inhaled steroid for the breathing difficulty and a PPI for the reflux. This helped but it didn't fix the problem. I'd wake up choking once every couple of weeks and this was not acceptable to me.

I started googling for my symptoms and I found someone who had a stomach infection that was causing his reflux, when he treated that infection, the reflux stopped.

I tried to get my doctor to run tests and he wouldn't. I went to a gastroenterologist and began asking him to test me for infections. He stated that the only possible thing that could survive in the acidic environment of my stomach was H. Pylori and since a gastroscopy didn't find any evidence of ulcers, I couldn't possibly have an H. Pylori infection.

I was insistent that I be tested for it... Two days later, I got a call that I did have an H. Pylori infection and the doctor would call in a prescription.

I took a ten day course of antibiotics and a PPI. Almost miraculously, I was cured. No more stomach discomfort. Almost no night time reflux. I wake up choking maybe once in 6-8 months. I am breathing better. I was damaging my lungs for years and it's taking time to recover from that damage but things are constantly improving.

Basically, I would be in much worse health if I hadn't sought out the experiences of other people and if I hadn't pushed back against the advice of my doctors.
I at least would be interested in how it goes, if you remember to drop me an email at some point, and HN might vote up a good writeup as well.

>Yes, the NTFS MFT is corrupted; your tools are telling you that much.
The TrueCrypt container may very well be corrupted beyond the header
that you restored. To what extent either is corrupted is impossible to
tell based on the information you have provided, but the sector number
and the MFT offset indicated would imply a storage device of at least
3*10^17 bytes (about 314,000 TB), which is clearly implausible.
I don't think you need a cryptography expert; rather, you need a data
recovery specialist, or possibly someone who knows the ins and outs of
TrueCrypt as a product and its on-disk format. Or, if that is out of
your budget, at least data recovery software. Now that you are able to
open the TrueCrypt container, the fact that the data is encrypted
on-disk should have limited bearing on any further problems, _if_
(which is a very big if) there is no further data corruption.

Angular 2 Framework Hits Beta
Any reason a bunch of text files in directories wont work?

Any "advanced" text editor that can search directories should work: Notepad++,Vim,grep,... anything really.

I've been using a bunch of synced markdown files. Works for me, I just have a Markdown editor and a "grep-like" app for android. I'm not sure what you can do for iPhone though. When I've talked to people they couldn't seem to "browse for files/folders" which I thought was strange.

The one thing I'm missing is I'd like to "tag" my notes. I haven't decided how/if I'm going to do that yet.
I don't get it.

Why is this so complicated when we have nginx and consul-template ?
Maybe within a small bubble of people who understand. I thought the idea was self-evident, but after working with people whose instinctive response to every problem is to throw code at it, I can assure you it is not.

Freemind is great for mindmapping in the context of a specific topic or project, but isn't a general purpose knowledgebase.

A mindmap starts at a central node and moves outward. This makes it limited in the practical number of nodes you can have--anything over a couple hundred is hard to manage. It also makes it difficult for one node to appear in multiple places within the mindmap.

That white house with the black Jeep out front? I don't think that one is abandoned. Or at least I'd strongly suspect that there are people living there. I don't see graffiti, or broken windows, or garbage strewn everywhere. The cars in the neighborhood seem to be newer and clean. This has the beginnings of an interesting HN poll. Put up a link like like that, and ask:

"Take a look at this neighborhood, and tell us what you see"

1.) A horrible slum that is a disgrace and
embarrassment to the U.S. It is an outrage that
anyone would have to live in conditions like that
in the third millennium.
2.) A quaint lower-income neighborhood.
3.) Doesn't seem that bad, not much different in
character from where I grew up.
4.) Drug-dealers and prostitutes gotta live somewhere.
5.) I see a place with home-owners and mortgage
holders, living the American Dream.
6.) We are doing a hell of a job as a society, if this
is supposedly the worst of the worst.

A carrier hotel is a specialized colo though, in that they offer easy connectivity to multiple carriers, and space is at a bigger premium (many of them are in city centers). If you have a large presence in an area, you might put most of your equipment in a suburb warehouse style building for cost reasons, and then get a dedicated connection from there to a small routing installation at a carrier hotel where you have lots of cross connects.

If you only have a small presence, and need a lot of cross-connects, then it probably makes sense to build out in the carrier hotel.

What are some of the other doomed cities you're talking about? And with what metrics?

I don't disagree with you that there are troubled towns and cities but it seems really difficult to decide when it's beyond salvage or even what that means.
I agree with you - we're just getting our signals crossed.

My unspoken advice was, "under doctor supervision," which I assume everyone understands (I know, a lot people don't.)

You can get a genetic test for FH, but afaik they're rarely performed, although maybe the OP needs one to convince them they really have the condition.

What I suggested was to follow the doctor's advice and, later, under their supervision, adjust statin dosage after lifestyle changes to see if the condition is still present. I'm not a doctor, but I know that my friend's doctor did exactly this - not as a way to convince them they had FH (they were already convinced), but to see if they needed that high of a statin dosage (they did.) That may be what the OP needs to be convinced, while also staying safe.

We both agree that the OP needs to be convinced that they have FH as soon as possible, and should do nothing regarding their treatment without a doctor's approval.
I've been wanting to learn org-mode for years but I never get around to it. I use something similar, but I only worry that if I were to move to something else I would want it to be in the cloud so I could access it from devices and other laptops. Do you have a solution for this?
That is my dream. Right now, many Windows GUIs (SmartGit/SourceTree) use 'git.exe' to manage the actual Git repositories.

If libgit2 is fully mature, I can imagine more GUIs/tools will be built to manage/analyze the git repositories.
> Version numbers are for marketing and legal.

> Software engineers should only care about the information required to create a reproducible build.

You are over generalizing. While this may be true for your company/project, it is not universally true. Version numbers are used for far more than that on many open source projects. Semantic versioning is important for some dependency management tools.

On my project, our versioning is only for internal use. We use something similar to progressive versioning, but our 'progress' builds are deployed only to our staging environment for dogfooding, review and approval. Once we believe the changes are stable we deploy a new minor version. When we need to work on larger change sets that could block this process, we increment the major version and continue development and review in parallel. Using a single build number would provide us the same ability to identify what code is on what server, but it would lack the additional contextual information about where that build fits into our development process.
One of the main reasons for using a personal knowledgebase is surfacing patterns in what you've saved. If there is no way of visualizing the relationship between notes/nodes outside of a flat list, pattern finding is limited to what you can remember to search for.

Basically the core problem isn't saving and searching for data, it's having great ways to structure and visualize it.

Taking Let's Encrypt for a Spin
Why not just use Elixir to begin with? Ok, Node existed before Elixir, but erlang has been around a long time.

It seems to me that engineering has become very cargo-cultish. "Lets use node cause we already know javascript" seems to be an argument that people who never learned Java or C/C++/Objective-C or Go or even Python or Ruby would make. Ok, there's a lot of those people... now they are stuck in a monolithic (eg non-distributed) system and dealign with scaling problems.

I'n not saying Erlang is always the right answer (I'm a fan of Go at the moment)... just that there's too much hopping-on-the-bandwagon based on seemingly a lack of awareness of the technology that's out there.

Imagine if all the effort making node work had been put into existing choices.

That might be the best analogy, but it's unsatisfying to me. The earth doesn't have an edge because it is round. When you go far enough in one direction you end up where you were.

If that was how they thought time worked, I could deal with that. But it's not. If they thought it was infinite in extent in both directions. I could deal with that. But the idea of a dimension just ending... That's a mind boggler.
IIRC, you are into both tech like ML and hardware. I know of LISP machines & even a G-machine (Haskell) emulator on a Forth chip. However, given verification and non-Turing push, I was looking for a CPU to run algorithms written in Standard ML. Found one and thought you'd enjoy reading it too:

Couldn't agree more. It is almost impossible to have a staging environment which is EXACTLY like the Production environment. A slightest difference can introduce bug in Production which will get missed out in staging. And if you can run your experiment in Production without any downside, why not?
Emacs and orgmode are probably your next step :)

orgmode is really a superset of markdown with PIM markup added.

It exports to markdown and a ton of other formats.

I don't think that's true: Wikipedia tells me the entire multi-year budget of the Manhattan Project ended up at around $26B in 2015 dollars. Not chump change, but certainly if they'd needed more money, more could have been found. I'd bet at least 10x that was spent on the US Navy every year of the war.

Reminds me of Feynman's stories about testing the limits of what they could actually requisition. A 10" gold hemisphere ended up as a doorstop after its experimental use was complete[1]. I also remember reading somewhere about a (somewhat fanciful) request for some quantity of a rare earth element, to which the response was that it was more than the entire known global supply.

“Gunslinger’s gait”: a new cause of unilaterally reduced arm swing
Thanks for the advice.
I've been tempted by this, but I have some reservations:

1. Does it work under less-used OSs? Linux/BSD..?

2. Is it a proprietary format? Will you be able to open the file in a decade? My text files will be able to be opened, I'm not sure anyone can still open their MSWorks files.

Maybe I'm crazy to worry about opening these files after a decade since using them probably isn't worth while unless you keep up with it. However, I've got files from the 90's that I've been transitioning from machine-to-machine since storage costs keeps getting cheaper.
It's just plain text files, so you can sync it using whatever you want. Many people use Dropbox.
Yikes. I'm so grateful that I can work from home.

I commuted in and around Boston for many years. It's just an exhausting, draining experience. Even a crummy, poorly maintained subway system is better than sitting in traffic jams for 30-45 minutes at a stretch. On the train/bus, you can at least close your eyes, or read a book.
I've gotta say that org-mode and a git repo do pretty well by me for this kind of thing.
Sure it does. In order to generate the money needed to pay the public workers, either taxes must be raised or the monetary supply changed. In either case this affects the private sector economy that shifts investors away from using the capital they have to do some work.
