If you don't allow the government to make mandates, then there's very little purpose in lobbying them. People tend to believe that regulations are imposed to keep big businesses in check, but many if not most business regulations are lobbied for by the big businesses to impose hurdles to would-be competitors.

This isn't to suggest that all regulations are bad, mind you, but cui bono; wherever there exists a regulation, someone benefits from it. Sometimes it is legitimately the people who are customers / consumers of that business, but often it exists as the result of a mandated competitive advantage... and anecdotally speaking, the more expensive compliance is, the more likely that is to be the case.
That's not quite true. Cloudflare (like virtually every CDN) only caches files at the edge server that handled the request. And they purge the files after a short period of time--even if your cache-control headers ask for a longer time. Most won't tell you how short (including Cloudflare), but some CDNs will delete files after as little as two hours.. 24 hours is very common. Most CDNs also give you no visibility about what is cached and where.

In Cloudflare's case, they operate 76 data centers. So every "short period of time" x up to 76, your server will need to regenerate each image.

So while a CDN is useful, a proxy cache can still be helpful.

(None of this applies to NuevoCloud though.. NuevoCloud has a global cache, with dedicated caches for each customer. So it's entirely possible to keep an image at the edge indefinitely)

There's an installer script off github. Just follow those instructions and that's all you'll need (assuming you already installed zsh). If you haven't, you can install it with Homebrew using `brew install zsh`.

>Unless you're celibate

Pretty much, rough marriage, sex with each other isn't something they want even if you do. Needless to say, more than 12 months go by between 'action.'

Right now we are together for finances and the kiddo. But I still have to deal with all of the negatives. I might hook up with others once everything is normal, but really the primary motivator isn't sex or a better mate, it's just freedom to better my career and myself. Right now it's all about her career and me dealing with the kid.
Applied science, i.e. taking something from text book abstract and general to something specific is always extremely difficult. It's one thing to read about a nuclear reaction but a whole different thing to actually set one off.

To implement something you need to have a level of understanding of it that is way deeper than what is required to get a passing grade in your math class. The problem isn't mathematical notation or the programming language (I am quite competent in and have no quarrel with either).

I recently set out to implement Triple Exponential Smoothing (aka Holt-Winters method), but I didn't want to use someone else's code, I wanted to understand the algorithm so that I knew enough to compare various implementations and/or write my own. It took _months_. There is a lot of material on the subject, but it all disagrees ever so slightly on one thing or another, or skips over something essential. I don't think anyone or anything is to blame for this - that's just life.

You can read about it here, btw: http://grisha.org/blog/2016/01/29/triple-exponential-smoothi...

In this case, "regression to the mean" is probably the wrong phrase.

Generally, though, when a CEO is looking stern and fearful and declaring writedowns and layoffs and erasing the 'goodwill' off of their books one quarter along with huge losses and financial penalties, etc then the next quarter usually isn't quite as big of a shitshow...

So the point here would be to buy a stock that has been overly punished and become unfashionable, while the overall business is still sound and will eventually rebound and the stock price should perk up.

If true, though, reading the negative emotions of the CEO would be correlated with past performance and it wouldn't be useful to determine if the company really was sound or if the company was actually heading to zero.
Ah, the GOP.

Keep this in mind when they carry on about being the party of personal liberty.
regarding point (2) I feel like https://gist.github.com/ fulfills that requirement.

With a gist you're able to quickly and easily upload a single file script (or multiple files).

Also once created you can clone it as a git repo and make updates and push back to it (e.g. add files etc). Also people can fork your gist just like git repos.

I like this approach rather than creating a "new repository" on github for small scripts or snippets because then your github profile doesn't get cluttered with small snippets and script repos and is reserved for actual "project" repos.

The only "authorized service provider" for iPhone screen and home button issues is the Apple Store. Apple doesn't license or sell parts to anyone else for iPhone screen repairs.

If you get your home button repaired by a third party, now, Touch ID simply won't work. Seems reasonable considering home button issues that would require repair are relatively rare--phones with destroyed home buttons are usually in such bad shape that the owner is just glad to get a working phone back, never mind the Touch ID.

Apple Stores usually won't work on phones with bent frames, severe water damage, etc. anyway--they'll just try to sell you a new (refurbished) phone. Third party repair stores will attempt the repair and can often fix the phone, resulting in a happy customer who gets a cheaper repair and gets to keep the data on their phone.
So if someone texts me an address, I can have it open in Google maps by default when I click it?

I read some time ago that ZFS is definitely NOT the right tool for laptop/external storage, unless you actually have a zpool with mirroring/raidz (which means you have to always keep the devices connected).

The reason is that when ZFS detects corruption, it'll lock down the whole fs... and prevent reading/recovery data from it, as recovering data from raidz is the expected solution in that case.

I tried to google again for the description of this issue, but I couldn't find it... I found this otoh:

https://groups.google.com/a/zfsonlinux.org/forum/#!topic/zfs...

And things aren't that obvious, apparently:

> Even without redundancy and "zfs set copies", ZFS stores two copies of all metadata far apart on the disk, and three copies of really important zpool wide metadata.

Whichn means that this might not actually be a problem after all

Your #1 hits home for me. Similar timeframe -- met at 16, married at 23, have been married happily for 7 years. We aren't the same people as when we first started dating.

It's hard for me to argue, rationally, that I happened to meet my one-and-only soulmate in high school. I think I got lucky because I married someone who valued marriage the same way I do. We both consider the marriage itself to be more important than either of us individually. We both came from stable families, so we have good examples to follow. It might not sound romantic, but we both could have probably committed fully to any number of people. As it stands, we committed to each other and the sum is greater than the parts.

I know other people are in tough situations, and I'm not saying that everyone should just "suck it up." I just think that marriages are more resilient when each person is secure in the knowledge that the other isn't considering leaving. It's hard to commit fully if divorce is an option on the table. When your thinking goes in that direction, you start resenting your partner for depriving you of that other life.
There's always the Wolfram Alpha app. Or if you want something offline, you could use SymPy (though obviously this isn't a touch-device app). I use Wolfram Alpha on my iPhone pretty much every day for simple matrix calculations, derivatives, integrals, and summations and it works very well.
I used fsharp-dnx. The problem was it then doesn't support non .NET core targets. So for library development it's a real pain in the arse when you want to build multiple .NET targets (net45,net46,dnx...) with the same project.json.

The whole thing is a total mess at the moment, so I'm personally going to stay away from dnx until MS produce something that's close to their old RTM quality releases. It seems there's even a rival system with the dotnet CLI.

So I disagree strongly with the OP, it's not a great time to be a .NET developer. The improvements to C# and F#, yes, fantastic. But the ecosystem around it is so brittle at the moment; which is something that we never had to deal with in the past, and was one of the big selling points of the MS ecosystem.
Yes - exactly.

To be clear, ext4 did not cause the corruption - but neither did it detect it or correct it. It happily sent corrupt blocks out to disk.

I think this happens a lot more frequently than people realize.
So the first developer was there for a little over a year before I was. And worked for free for a little bit of that. I'm assuming that developer has a solid amount of options. If anything the cofounders just gave that developer stock outright.

I would consider I am missing out on about double my current salary. Not to boast but I could definitely reach ~80k no problem.

"We know your data security matters that is why go an extra mile to make sure your data is fully protected from prying eyes. All your sensitive files are secured with ultra secure triple DES 1344 encryption when at rest. When in motion VAYU uses SSL and HTTPS protocols for ultra secure transmission."

3DES? Why not AES or Salsa20/ChaCha20 or some other modern algorithm?

Also loads of other questions: whose keys are used, where is encryption/decryption performed, etc.

Sounds like just cloud storage with an encrypted drive on the server side but where the server side keys are also stored by the cloud provider, which means the encryption almost might as well not be there.

> Trick will lie in totally isolating government and security agencies behind the wall of 4th Amendment by stick to original interpretation

The difference is that the 2nd amendment has text that is helpful to you, and the 4th amendment does not. The 2nd amendment does not only ban "unreasonable" restrictions on guns, while the 4th amendment only bans "unreasonable" searches. Moreover, the 4th amendment allows for the issuance of warrants pursuant to which the government can conduct a search that would otherwise be considered unreasonable. All that is right there in the text.

You don't need "original interpretation" here. You need "living document" and you need to conjure up a right of privacy--one that defeats even a search pursuant to a warrant--that appears nowhere in the text of the Constitution.
Thank you, I've updated the post.
Hayden's argument is that end to end encryption is the right decision for the bigger set of users (the "main body") which are you and me, he also says they got around the lack of back doors with bulk surveillance.

The implied argument (and one that would work well in this specific case) is that if the phone company where the terrorists got phone service kept bulk metadata records then the FBI could get their "contact lists" by asking the phone company, while nobody could steal their personal health information of banking secrets from their phone.

It is a pretty reasonable argument when you think about it.
Actually, Nginx are way ahead of you. Here's the way to handle that.

location = / { [ configuration A ] }

location / { [ configuration B ] }

To learn more about this, I recommend http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html

The Nginx docs are not always great but they are far more correct than most blog posts about Nginx so that is why I have turned to use only the official docs when I have a question about how to do something with Nginx.

I think a big barrier to understanding math for a lot of people, and definitely for me, is names. Things get named for people instead of what they are: "the Kronecker delta function". You came up with some genius model and proved it, and after all that work you decided that your name and some greek letter are what people need to think of when they hear about it and not anything about what it is? Fuck you Kronecker!

The problem extends beyond mathematics, to essentially everything except programming. And in fairness out of all the fields with shitty names, mathematics has the best excuse: unlike the natural sciences and engineering, math is completely abstract. But programming is also pretty abstract, and yet we don't call stacks Hawk-elbower's double-u structure! No, we notice a semantic similarity between our abstract concept and something more familiar, and we come up with a monosyllabic, five-letter word that conveys a lot of information about the construct to someone completely uninitiated. This both makes it more approachable and easier to learn, serving as a mnemonic device. And once you've internalized it it makes no difference whatsoever.

I hear people whine that naming abstract concepts after concrete objects will only give people a harder time thinking abstractly. Bullshit, I say: have you ever heard of a novice programmer thinking that stacks are only good for representing stacks of paper or dictionaries for looking up definitions of human words.

I understand that naming things nicely in math is harder than in programming, and that in some more cutting-edge branches there might simply be no good analogies to draw, but I don't think it's impossible for more mundane topics. Math professors teach by drawing analogies and thinking of applications all the time. In any case we can do a lot better than "Kronecker's delta function".
dotnet-cli is supposed to be a replacement for DNX. Personally, I'm trying to push to get a "classic" system-wide profile for .Net Core so I can just use CMake or whatever and not have to deal with the headache of dotnet-cli.
As a datapoint, a while back I was asked (for a G interview within the last 10 years) to code an RB tree from start to finish. I'll admit I was a little miffed at how distanced this seemed from anything I would potentially do; I was not interviewing for a high theory/deep algorithms group. That being said, in my other experience with a G interview, the entire process was much more mundane and as expected. For the record, I have both been hired and not hired by G and not necessarily paired with the above interviews as you'd expect.

I mention this instance largely because my friends at the big G tell me such a question is generally frowned upon, and not part of standard practice, (So I don't feel bad speaking openly about it) but more importantly it gives me a way to see how people can get a skewed perspective on a company given a... unique interview question when the overall guidance within the corp wouldn't align to asking that.
My point is clearly that neither I nor the person I responded to have presented hard evidence re. ability to get jobs versus merit.

However, I'm more inclined to believe the entailments of my own experience than the informal inferences of some stranger. I encourage everyone else to do the same.

I might argue that I even have "data" in the form of a reasonably large group of professional acquaintances. "Luck" is nothing but statistical noise, and a large number of people and a large number of job applications helps damp down the noise. There is a very obvious trend in the form of more meritorious people performing better when applying for jobs.
All the more power to you. If it works fine for you then it's good enough. Apple has also really caught up on Terminal.app's features. For example it didn't used to have multiple tabs which was a killer feature of iTerm. Personally, I don't even use most of the power features of iTerm except the custom shortcuts. (even preferring to use tmux directly) Still, some alternatives never hurt.
Same. I've tried it several times and have had the same experience you describe. Terminal.app recently got a nice upgrade too, which made switching to a 3rd party emulator even less compelling.

Edit: I tried the beta. It's faster than .app. I'll give it that.
Maybe, maybe not. Most people's surface area of problems don't even approach Google's problems. The kind of things most companies aspire to solve, Google automated a decade ago. So, this esoteric CS theory may be more practical inside Google than your external vantage point can consider.
Exactly, thanks frank! :P
>Writing |x| for abs(x) (abs() is obviously a function, it shouldn't have special notation)
>Calling abs "modulus"

Both of those are because the absolute value of a number is the norm of the one-dimensional space.
Product vs Service. Huge difference.
But, when the practical catches up with the theory, the problem is solved; and the implementation is trivial.
Taken narrowly, there is no personal liberty at stake in this situation. Searching this phone is clearly permissible under the 4th amendment.

I guess making Apple--a huge corporation--assist is somewhat against liberty, but I wouldn't call it personal liberty. They get compensated for it.

The slippery slope argument everyone seems to be pushing doesn't quite make sense to me. How is forcing Apple to help get past security after a valid court order going to hurt third parties privacy? Nobody is asking for Apple to introduce a backdoor into their products for sale. Only to exploit a backdoor into one specific phone.
That would be a great post.
If that's his central message, he's wrong. Aside from some dips in 2013-2014, most crime rates in the city are lower than over the past ~15 years.

Anecdotally, I live here now and I also lived here in 2006-2007, and most of downtown feels much safer. I am not a mind reader, but I think the guy sees poverty and feels threatened, and lacks the empathy to understand that the poors are human beings getting fucked by surging costs they literally have no control over.

His comment that the city's wealthy people earned their spots implies that he thinks that the less wealthy who've lived here longer and simply can't afford current prices didn't. Like I said above, not a very nice attitude.
