I've seen L2ARC (and SLOGs too) die before, and ZFS kept on working.

Just expect a hit on performance if your workload leans heavily on the L2ARC. Also, in my experience, L2ARC is a lot less useful than a lot of people think; doing some workload characterisation is an interesting and informative exercise.

As an aside: an SLOG is usually useful. Unless your workload is effectively read-only, a SLOG can make a pool perform close to SSD levels for most workloads on the cheap. Just be careful to get a quality SSD for the SLOG.

Not sure if it's the same in the US but a clinical psychologist is not a psychiatrist.

A psychiatrist is a specialist medical doctor. They've been right through the whole med school thing.

A clinical psychologist takes an accredited psychology BSc and then takes further courses. These finalises with a doctorate, giving the Dr title. They are, however, not medical doctors.

It may have changed but a good rule of thumb is that a psychiatrist can prescribe the full range of treatments, including medication. From what I recall, a clinical psychologist focuses on prescription of therapy - they may need a psychiatrist to prescribe if they believe medication would be useful.

I hadn't heard of the Vatican official story, but certainly many religiously minded people will use prayer as a self-regulated placebo.

That's a fine general comment but I need to pipe up for nkurz.
I don't think he's ever tried to stir up controversy with harsh words. He's mostly concerned with letting people have their say as a matter of openness.

If you don't want to defend Elsevier, then don't. The research was paid for with our tax dollars. The public has a right to read it. The academics who write and review the papers are not paid by Elsevier. The only value Elsevier provides is choosing which papers to accept, and organizing physical printing of the articles. A committee of prestigious academics in a particular field could easily choose a few leading papers to accept each month, and run a web server with some PDFs... and in some fields, that's what's starting to happen.

Great advice. Also add your own parents to the list.
The title doesn't do the article justice. It's broader than that. Cringely proposes that Apple buy Dolby Labs as a way to spur adoption of HDR television, and to control the associated IP.

I think it could be a good idea, because anything is better than Apple just sitting around with literally hundreds of billions of dollars in excess cash, probably earning 1% return on it. But OTOH it seems that Apple is where acquired companies go to die, to disappear into a cosmic void, never to be heard from again.

Bah, every time I think I've got a handle on ZFS I learn something new that tells me I haven't configured my system properly. I've got 2 mirrored vdevs and a 120GB SSD as L2ARC - I'm not sure I'd get much more of a benefit from SLOG, although it might speed up some jails.

My coding style took shape long before PEP8 or even Python emerged. I tried following PEP8 for a few months, but since I mosty use C++ and Python in combination, pure PEP8 didn't work on the C++ side of things. So I stick with a kind of geometric mean of my Fortran, Basic, Cobol, Algol, Ada, Pascal, Modula2, C, C++, Python, JavaScript, asssembler and PLC AWL coding styles. But that's just the way Transcrypt itself is coded. Feel free to follow PEP8 completely in your code using Transcrypt. It's parsed by the CPython parser, so no problem there. However, if you use JS libs they won't follow PEP 8 either. And that's probably something to accept, as, however big the Python world, one cannot ignore the JS world when programming for the browser. By the way of all those languages I like Python best. But since I write technical (signal processing) apps, C++ interoperation is an inevitable fact for me. To be more exact about the braces: I started out numerical programming in Fortran66, and wanted a formula to look like this: (a + b) * (c + d), so with blanks surrounding the braces, rather than (a+b)*(c+d) which I found harder to decipher at that time. I stuck with that ever since, for any braces, unless adjacent to each other.

The rules can't actually be dictated by the miners - e.g. they can make invalid blocks but clients won't accept them. They can censor transactions, though that can only delay it until a non-colluding miner includes it.

The Bitcoin XT chain fork is a bit different in that it explicitly tied itself to miner voting. That's not necessary, you could really tie it to anything.

I really enjoyed this talk[1] by Bryan Cantrill, part of which is about what it took to emulate Linux's syscalls from within SmartOS. It's lengthy, but enjoyable.

One of the applications that they tried to port directly to before the emulation layer was htop, and he has a good rant about what that took because of its use of /proc and how that made porting it very difficult.

Given that, I'm sure this wasn't easy. Kudos!

This looks like a really cool piece of software, but I think a lot of it's best features should be unbundled or made available in the IDE you already use.

Namely:

* Simple package search + install without opening a web browser
* React-native hot-reloading
* Scaffolding of added components, with required props filled in

I really don't want to use a different IDE, and lose everything I've got in my current IDE - I use webstorm, so this would be Live Templates, key bindings, etc.

That said, I'm really excited to see people building software that makes building react-native apps easier. It's not that it's too difficult right now - rather, it's awesome that the development workflow is so hackable, and that the react-native (and react) ecosystems seem to be evolving so rapidly, and are so willing to try out new ideas.

Anyways, nice work Deco Software, keep it up :-)
Yes it currently works and is systematically tested on Windows and Linux. OSX is planned too. Btw RapydScript also works on Windows, you'll need NodeJS to run it.

Agreed. Populist candidates like Trump and Sanders have as much clout as they do exactly because the country is in decline. And the public is tired of the elitist run media telling them otherwise.

The harder the media pushes their delusional reality, the harder the public pushes back, and the stronger Trump becomes.

Not that I hope for such a thing. But it's entertaining to see the media's propaganda continue to backfire on them. And they act totally oblivious as to why.

It's not actually as imprecise as it sounds. A 40W light bulb might produce 1W of light and 39W of heat. Watt is the normal unit of measure for radiant flux, and the lumen is nothing more than "luminous flux" which is radiant flux weighted according to its spectrum.

The more I look at the three snails, the more I find A and C to be similar in their pattern of illumination.

EDIT: the closer I look the more I'm convinced. C is the matte rendering of A; B is the different environment map. Figure 2 in the paper bears me out; I think the authors managed to fool themselves while editing :(.

EDIT#2: make that figure 2A & 2B that bear me out ... 2C they seem to have used the same image twice in the bottom row. Am I mad? I know these errors are easy to make in the rush to publication, but my senses disagreeing with the text in so many places is starting to freak me out!
Yes, after programming ever since I was 15, I've learned that it has to be one of both:
_ Either I have to accept the basic design choices made in a piece of code as is, and build upon it in the same line of thought
- Or, if I really don't want to live with that, I start out completely fresh, not even looking at existing code, since it will just distract me from my path
In this case I opted for the second approach. Many transpiler projects out there are somehow related. As you can see by the source code Transcrypt isn't. I needed a fresh approach to reach my goals (the shopping list in the docs). People ask: why not add this or that to an existing project. Answer: because it isn't that simple. For me multiple projects existing alongside each other isn't a problem, but a fact of nature. There exist many C/C++ compilers, prog languages, OS'es, processor chips. Diversity and survival of a rich, diverse set of fit-enough creatures is what drives IT as well, in my view.

Thanks for the response! To make sure I understand this correctly: If I find a product labeled as "HEPA" (w/o a prefix or suffix such as "type," "like", "style," and "99%") then I can be assured that the product does meet the standard of removing 99.97% of particles that have a size of 0.3 µm?
People get upset because Twitter and Facebook "mess with" their timelines, as if they were some fundamental natural component of the universe. The average person, even a young "digital native" has no concept of how their gadgets work, so while you might think "Oh, this pretty much has to be sitting on their server in a recoverable format" the average person thinks the picture lives only on their phone. They can't even get to the point of making an informed decision of whether or not the data they give up is worth the service received because they lack the models to understand what happens.

It's like wondering why someone who still thinks good and bad humors mediate health isn't worried about their cholesterol, there's literally not the machinery available to make that a concern. This is one of the biggest reasons that we should teach coding in schools. Even if you never write a line of code in anger, knowing vaguely what's going on at least gives you a chance to be a consenting participant in technologically mediated arrangements.

That was one specific station - the infamous WLW / W8XO - the first and only US station authorized to operate at 500kW of power.[1]

To give you an idea of how powerful that is, take a look at their coverage map: http://i.imgur.com/Aigz1Zh.jpg

The back story is kind of interesting. It was run by Powel Crosley - a sort of 1930's version of Elon Musk. Advertising revenues from the station were so successful he applied to increase the limit from 500kW to 750kW(!).

It's a big deal in the ham community, but I only learnt latter that while US stations were limited to 50kW - other parts of the world didn't have such restrictions. Parts of the Middle East have 2,000kW stations. [2]

You're probably right indeed! I was just looking into refactoring some code, found that and thought it was pretty cool. Plus Rails comes with CoffeeScript by default.
