Comment by Richard Yao, Gentoo dev and ZFS On Linux contributor [1]:

... there is no legal issue preventing the sources
from being combined because neither the CDDL nor
the GPL place restrictions on aggregations of
source code, which is what putting ZFS into the
same tree as Linux would be. Binary modules built
from such a tree could be distributed with the
kernel's GPL modules under what the GPL considers
to be an aggregate. These concepts have passed
legal review by many parties.

I like this.
I look at this project and see all kinds of potential.
With no negative impacts on health one can eat just rice or potatoes with salt or herbs as one please for months with no weight gain unless one is rather lean. That shows that there is food where body feedback loop works nicely preventing over-consumption without any conscious limits on the amount of food.
> The key thing to note here is that with very, very few exceptions, everyone living on the street was a 'normal' person.

That is where you are dead wrong. I would highly recommend you walk down 13th street (aka Duboce or Division, can't remember) and talk to the people living in the tent colony lining it. I have; it used to be my way to work till the hassle became too much and I started taking a detour. I would posit and say 100% of them are there by some sort of choice (not following the rules of the shelter is a huge #1). Drugs, alcohol and theft (bike, specially) are rife there.

I live in SF, and just can't stand the holier-than-thou approach taken by those who have not experienced SF's homeless firsthand. These are not your "lost my job and house and am forced to live out of my car" homeless; these are people, most of whom made a conscious decision to come to SF because they're attracted by the generous benefits, or got hounded out of whatever city they were in.

Hi! We are an Italian startup from Milan now approaching the Bay Area rental market.
We use Facebook friends and interests data to help people looking for a room and roommates.

How does it work?
In addition to all the basic information (location, monthly fee, pictures of the room) for each listed room FlatMateMe shows if you actually have common friends and interests with the roommates.

On the other hand, if you are looking for a roommate, the website lets you manage all the applicants on one single dashboard. There you are able to see all the friends and interests you share with each one of them on top of the personalized FlatMateMe profile, in order to find your perfect match.

What do you think? Any advice is super appreciated. Thanks!
The English crime statistics have violent crime happening to men at almost twice the rate of women.

What I found interesting was a recent study that found rape has a much higher rate of PTSD occurrence than other crimes - maybe it's so uniquely traumatic (and the threat of it so terrifying) that it forces women to be more careful than men even when men are statistically much more likely to be assaulted by strangers.

What makes having a lot of files in a directory a hard problem?
I remember at around the same time I was playing with GlusterFS, and it was interesting, but painful to configure as well. It was prone to have client/server configuration mismatches, and you had to be careful to reason about where you enabled a feature, the client or server, to make sure it failed in a safe way. It did have capabilities for Fcntl and flock file locking though, which was interesting at the time. Unfortunately ist was also somewhat unstable, and I would see segfaults every few weeks. My focus for work projects moved into different areas, and I didn't keep up with it's development, so I'm not sure what they've done in the last decade, but it was promising and refreshingly new back then. I should take another look.
I think Dr Michael Greger's short video summary of salt research argues pretty convincingly that if you reduce your salt intake to very low levels (what he calls "normal-for-our-species salt intake"), you will not suffer from hypertension.

Most of the "nodejs generation" would take simple queries + aggregates (https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/aggregation/) + some flavor of map-reduce (https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/core/map-reduce/) over SQL anytime. Mostly because you only need the first for 90% of the cases, and for the rest, SQL is "brain hurting" and hard to optimize anyway. I also happen to agree that SQL should be finally killed and buried (and invent a more "in code" and closer to mathematical language notation for when you really need to do relational algebra, something like a "relational GraphQL maybe"), though most of the colleagues of my age would prefer to bury me for expressing this opinion :)

Twitter makes customer service better
Holy shit, putting on my protective suit before all the "DONT BREAK MY BROWSER'S BACK BUTTON" comments come pouring in :).

Actually, I don't think it would break browser interaction, but yeah, I think she should consider re-creating the page as text rather than screenshots of text. First of all, much easier to edit (and style) when it's just text. Second, makes it much easier for the employer to Cmd-F search for keywords.

My other recommendation would be to have a prominent resumé link, and have it point to a standard PDF. Though maybe a linkedin link is good enough? I know Airbnb is probably more tech-forward than most employers, but there are still some HR shops that print out candidates' resumes to read by paper..and if your web-ready resumé does _not_ print out well...you may be at a disadvantage.

While this may not be the most technically well-executed page...have to give credit to the applicant for even trying to do something different, even if she's not a web developer. I've often introduced web dev to newbies by just pointing out that when they really need to get something online for the whole world to see...an image works just as well in a jiffy. The Web isn't just about HTML, but about having that URL that anyone in the entire world can freely and relatively instantaneously access. It's something we take for granted as web developers but it's a very different paradigm for those who are not webdevs.
Meanwhile, crickets from some companies:

>That said, Matt Garret's Captain Ahab-like zeal of keeping one of the most useful pieces of open-source code away from Linux, while taking potshots at Ubuntu, is really off-putting.

Your response to a large company violating the license that Linux is distributed under is to blame Matthew Garret for pointing it out?
A True Story About a Startup, Tom Hanks, and Saying No to HBO
I can understand how you disagree with Mathew (and I also would prefer for ZFS to be universally available under Linux), but that's not the point here.

The GPL states in clear terms what's allowed and what isn't.

It doesn't matter whether you believe a specific use case should make it ok to violate the license or not.

It's like laws. Whether you personally believe they are just or not is not a reason why they should or should not apply to you.

but I'd think the point of a js KDF is to run on the client, not the server.

bcrypt is used on the server (node.js) to hash a user's password before storing it in the database. Then later, when a login is done, the password from the login is checked against the stored hash to see if the match (and by implication, that the original passwords are the same). So the usage is mostly on the server as expecting a client such as a mobile device to do large rounds of CPU intensive work just to login isn't going to make for happy customers.
No, it's two. Don't forget Tyler Perry.
Eh, okay, Go is much easier to deploy because it's a single binary (also the same with Dart), but yeah, the rest of the comment makes no sense. Seriously? Dart? Not even Rust?

There really needs to be a standardized framework for IP related clauses for companies as well as universities to implement and one which favors inventors/founders as long as they are not exploiting the employer's resources in any way including on employer time.

These restrictive IP clauses that many companies and some universities have are really just a hindrance to innovation.

Once I tried to warm up some food in a microwave oven at work and it would not run (no light or fan.) I opened the door and now the fan was running. Close the door and it stopped again.

A lot of people we have spoken to have asked for this, so support for messaging protocols is definitely on our roadmap. Whether it will be incorporated into Hoverfly, or provided as a separate tool hasn't yet been decided though.
You're not "saving down a JavaScript object", as MongoDB does not speak JavaScript. What you're doing is passing an object to your database driver, which then converts it to JSON, and sends it to MongoDB.

JSON is an entirely separate language from JavaScript, and it can be used from just about any language. This "convert a native object into the query format" thing is also literally what almost every database driver in almost every language does.

This has precisely zero to do with either MongoDB or JavaScript.
> Who cares I worked until 2am every day for weeks while they left at 5pm because they "weren't coders".

> Sorry, ranting a bit.

Rant away! I don't want to hijack this thread, but there's a story I like to share with people when they become new managers. It's from Herb Ryman, one of the first Disney Imagineers.

"The year was 1953. Walt [Disney] said, ‘Hi Herbie. I’m over here at the studio. I wonder if you could come over here. Just come the way you are, I’ll be out front waiting for you.’ I was curious, and flattered that he picked up the phone and called me. I had no idea what he wanted.

He met me out front and shook my hand saying, ‘Hi Herbie, we’re in the Zorro building.’ So we went in, and I asked what this was all about. He said, ‘My brother Roy has to go to New York on Monday morning. He’s got to talk to some bankers there. You know bankers don’t have any imagination, none at all. You have to show them what you are going to do. Roy has to show them what this place is going to look like.’ And I said, ‘Well, I’d like to see what this place is going to look like, too. Where have you got all this stuff?’ I thought maybe it was in the other room. Walt said, ‘You’re going to do it.’ I said, ‘No I’m not.’ There was a brief pause. Walt paced back and forth- we were alone in the room.

He went over to the corner and he turned his head around with his back to me and said, ‘Will you do it if I stay here with you?’

‘Yes, I’ll do it if you stay here.’"

Granted, it's been a couple of years, but I tried BTRFS when openSUSE made it their default and I had filesystem issues that I've never had on anything else. I'm sure it's progressed a lot since then, but I expect it will be behind ZFS for a long time in terms of stability.
Somehow that does _not_ describe most young geeks that I have known. How did we simultaneously come to be known as unable to look strangers in the eye _and_ have an inflated sense of self worth?

Companies in the grocery market have already gone bankrupt because they couldn't be competitive at billions in sales. I'd have either partnered with a strong company to invest in new stores with a profit cut plus discounted Google tech to make them competitive. Or straight up bought companies that produce things like salt, sugar, or key brands that fuel grocery sales. That's what the elites, esp Koch Brothers, are doing. It's recession-resistant, too.
And damage their branding? Nah, they'll do motion capture and render their mascots doing it.

> How is this possible, legally?

My understanding is that it isn't under the theory of what counts as a derivative work requiring a license (and, thus, what is subject to GPLv2 in the first place) espoused by the FSF, however, I believe that view has been hotly disputed as to its accuracy under US copyright law (at least) for about as long as the GPL has existed and never been tested in court.

The FSF, in general -- as is unsurprising for entity that relies on maximally leveraging copyright protections to achieve its ends -- holds to a fairly maximalist view of the legal rights of copyright owners.
I'd really rather you didn't do that, since it makes using the web as the web so annoying. I think we really need to fork the web and let "browsers" specialize in one direction while the "client/server application platforms" go another.
Sorry, but I've troubles following your argument in this case. What you are basically calling for is one or more certification authorities that certify that person A is capable of performing a certain task. Am I right? This would replace required license. The difference is basically that licenses are mandatory, certifications are optional, and that (but I infer this from your Friedman's quote) certification authorities could compete.

If this is your point, sorry but your argument doesn't follow. There's nothing against the certification authority requiring 52 hours of training. And there's nothing against Zenefits cheating if they believe a certified expert is better than an uncertified one (and this is the argument underlying Mr. Friedman discussion).

Certification vs. Licensing is a complex discussion topic, I tend to prefer certifications over licensing, but this is definitively not the point with Zenefits.
Without ECC RAM, you're far more likely to get uncorrectable / unnoticeable corruption.

This is not unique to ZFS, and it doesn't make ZFS worse than other filesystems. But since the reason you'd use ZFS is often to avoid any corruption, it's tradition to advise the use of ECC.
No, Ubuntu may have put the ZFS source in the kernel tree, but they still ship it to endusers as a separate kernel module and separate Ubuntu package (edit: the separate package is "zfsutils-linux" for the userspace code)

AFAIK to violate the GPL they would have to ship ZFS compiled code in the kernel image, but this is not what they are doing.
Who Are We?
2 theories:

(1) Node sprung up at the exact same time that NoSQL was in it's "fad" phase (which had much to do with fighting the now-mostly-solved scaling challenges of the SQL databases of the time). Both caught on with people who liked trying the hot new thing in 2010.

(2) There's definitely a bit more impedance mismatch when you're working with a SQL database from JS. If what you're trying to do is persist a blob of JSON, a NoSQL object/document store works at that level, whereas a SQL database requires thought and planning.

This is not to say that I prefer NoSQL, or that these are reasons why someone starting something now should choose NoSQL, but they do jump out to me as why backend JS dev has been a bit more NoSQL-happy over the years.
I believe the parent was talking about python3 from a users perspective (they said they aren't a Python programmer) For example when a script requires python3 and another requires python. Python3 is also not included in a lot of base systems. That could be annoying.

You could also use NixOS, which is even better at this. :)

> MongoDB plays very well with the rest of the javascript based stack

Every major database does. This is in no way exclusive to MongoDB.
It helps to keep in mind these groups are just constructs to help sociologists talk about large groups of people. While they're good for talking about differences in generations, no single person is going to fit into any generational group perfectly. On top of that, it doesn't help that news outlets like to oversimplify these things for juicy headlines.
When I was a kid, my dad didn't want to spend money on an alarm system so he just added that magnetic glass breakage tape around all the first floor windows and installed a metal panel with a locking cover plate and a series of blinking LEDS on the front and back doors. It looked really authentic, and it seemed to work - other houses in our neighborhood got burgled once in a while, but ours was the only one with those scary red lights blinking back and forth on all the doors.
:) I have to admit I haven't heard of a fund started to use this idea but I guess it was just a matter of time.

There are always funds you hear about that are created based on some previously unexplored data signal like this, twitter sentiment is an example that was popular circa 2011.

The problem that most of these signals has is that its really not a predictor on its own and it becomes just one of the 100's of signals that is consumable by financial models.

This means that you need to go through the trouble of collecting, cleaning, calibrating and discretizing this signal only to have it feed into a model where it might get a weighting of 0.5% of the overall signal.

> However, accuracy is an issue. Dr. Ekman claimed 90% accuracy for his emotion-coding system, but software inspired by his work hasn’t been tested independently.

This seems a bit dubious. Is this 90% accuracy for predicting stock movements? Or 90% accuracy for predicting emotions based on facial features? I doubt its the former or someone like two sigma would have just hired the author before he published. If its the later then its really unclear just how accurate their system is.

This is John Davenport at SpectoLabs. We have used AspectJ to create new seams (in Daniel's terms) in Java monoliths that can then be intercepted via http.

It all depends on what sort of bind you find yourself in. Having seen both the Hoverfly approach is far preferable, but one approach may be to use AspectJ, create the seam via http and then intercept using Hoverfly. YMMV.

Is Garret asserting that the ZoL /source/ is a derived work of ZFS and linux and thus non-distributable?

Or is he saying a binary module compiled from that source is non-distributable?

If the source is redistributable then a DKMS kernel module could be used because it distributes source that is built by the end user.
It might, but you're not going to be using that shell in an actual application, so that would hardly make a difference. The querying is all JSON.

There are a couple of open bugs[1][2] related to grub and ZFS that make it a little tricky to get ZFS on your root volume, but it is doable: https://github.com/zfsonlinux/pkg-zfs/wiki/HOWTO-install-Ubu....

I expect those issues to be resolved before 16.04 is released. Even with those fixes, the interactive installer doesn't support ZFS yet so you will still need to drop to a shell to actually setup your zpool and your partitions.

Google's effort looks more like how a startup would do it. No direct comparison here.
The other difference is the consequences of the laws being broken. Insurance industry laws are much stricter in enforcement than rental or auto laws. Lawmakers may look the other way on taxi or rental regulation, because they realize there's a market shortage. They're much less willing to look the other way on insurance (or any financial services) fraud.

It could also be that insurance industry participants are more centralized and organized than taxi and real estate companies, but I'm less sure that this was a driving factor in the regulation.
