I don't really understand this. If you don't like the verbose names of PowerShell commands, you still have the option to set up command aliases. Out of the box, PowerShell includes a number of common Unix terminal commands as aliases:

I think this is the way I will go, thank you.
nmon gives you console beauty without external dependencies. You can watch it in console mode and cron schedule it in batch mode for long-term data collection.
I'm afraid I'm just too wedded to the jump list to make the switch, though Evil mode did do a good job with text objects.
Well right there, that's an extra step that I don't need to do when using Python. But I'll have a look at the link, thanks!
> All you said was "Well, we don't like it"

That's not what I see.
Not sure, but I think checking "Prime Only" essentially accomplishes this because you can only get Prime shipping on items sold or fulfilled by Amazon. Obviously is only relevant to Prime users, but at least it's something.
Monitoring the health of workloads in the cloud
I was wondering the same. I.e., how this might compare to an NGINX module talking to a caching process on a unix socket.

https://github.com/openresty/memc-nginx-module

https://github.com/openresty/redis2-nginx-module

This has the added benefit of being able to take advantage of other nginx features. For example, you could set different permissions on `set` and `get` routes.
Redis eats million of entries for breakfast, is pleasant to work with, has TTL expiration of keys built in and is available as a managed AWS ElastiCache service when you get into serious data sizes: up to 32 core 237 GiB nodes, and then you shard to add more. Redis is also super as a local cache, and simple to deploy and manage together with the app that uses it.

Since you obviously ran some quick benchmarks and concluded that running it locally over a unix socket (confused why you would mention "time needed on the network"... you tested with local sockets, right?) was too slow, you should at least let Antirez know you've run into a new mysterious performance bug ;) Writing a cache service can be a fun side project, but I doubt you gained anything by doing so except another homegrown part to maintain.

The first thing you should learn with PowerShell are the discoverability features: Tab completion, Get-help, get-command, show-command, get-member, get-alias. Last time I checked (and admittedly it's been a few years) bash has man pages and that's it.
True, but it's not like he is a total fraud, for the PS3 he was the one behind the memory glitching bug, which was an important step forward.
> I know what you're probably thinking. One of the reasons you use Windows is so you don't have to use the command line.

I know what I'm thinking. One of the reasons I don't use Windows is that its command line is a second or third class citizen.
Give up your Abrahamic bigotry. Rivers are not used as burial ground but in Hindu traditions body is cremated and then remains are put in river water.
Not parent, but IMHO requiring nodejs is heavy for something as simple as data collection. I wouldn't mind if plugins (sufficiently complex ones) can be written in nodejs, but requiring nodejs is too much.

I'd prefer something like Lua (and C, of course), or even Python (which is installed on most systems anyway, but still too heavy).
I use ConEmu (actually cmder - ConEmu with some out-of-box enhancements) every day at work under Windows 7 Pro. Absolutely no issues to report.
Crashes of the console, usually happening after executing a few commands. This was a few years ago, probably on WinXP, but could be Win7 (I'm on Win8.1 now).
To be fair, it's not only relevant to Prime users if you just want to make sure you are getting product fulfilled by Amazon (which definitely cuts down on the risk). I am not a Prime user and I occasionally do this to filter results.

Presumably because they're so far removed from the Linux-On-The-Desktop Experience™ we (the HN crowd) are familiar with.

It's the tradeoff between mass-market UX and raw power and customizability, and Android/Chromebooks are at one end of the spectrum while what we associate with "Linux computers" is at the other.
Most records were destroyed either in the burning of the Alexandria Library and/or in the Sack of Baghdad.

Both events were a huge loss for humanity.
But with the namespace, you can avoid name collisions. As I see it, VCL components can be used standalone, even when you already use a different UI framework, so this makes sense for me.
>It's quite old and some episodes are less intriguing for today's standard

WTF? I completely disagree; ST:TNG (and TOS) is a breath of fresh air compared to modern TV. No over-the-top ultra-violence, no half-second-long Michael Bay-style shots, no requirement that you've followed the series religiously and are watching the episodes in order; it's a great way to relax and watch something enjoyable. It's also nice that all the characters are hyper-competent; this is a nice break from the real world which is full of incompetent morons. If I want to see "dark, gritty realism", I'll go walk around a ghetto or something.
Exactly! We've got kids and our local school district likes to send robo-calls to remind people of events. Also the dentists and doctors are calling the day before with a reminder and that's automated for 2 out of 3 (dentist and doctor yes, orthodontist (ouch), no).
I don't see a lot of difference between bribery to get something done and lobbying to get the law changed so you can get something done.

Note that I am equally disgusted at both of these.
I actually like it. Anyone has an idea on what happens when you try to qira a network based application. For example, imagine you try to debug a client but you don't know how server behaves (TCP Stack etc...). It might be a possibility that not catching all states that client might have.
In fact, the insurance jobs don't define what is risky - rather they measure the amount of risk.

The OP proposed regulation to force "risky" businesses to have insurance.

The question remains - who gets to decide who is risky and who isn't?

In this scheme, does every enterprise require insurance in totality, not just the risky ones?
yep, and there's also this: https://www.varnish-cache.org/trac/wiki/VCL

It's not about Node per se; it's about JavaScript. System telemetry collectors don't benefit much from languages built around event loops.

Many of us already know C, Bourne Shell and Python and probably another scripting language and all of those can get telemetry data off systems and into an event bus or metrics aggregator quickly enough. Adding JavaScript adds complexity without giving us significant new functionality.

Now the data collector (gathering metrics from many senders for aggregation and storage) is a different story. I've seen them written in JavaScript but the 64-bit counter difficulties would rule it out for me were I to implement one again.

It's not just files. Anything originally designed as a temporary stop-gap has a habit of becoming permanent. I first learned this about portable classrooms, then laws, then organizational practices. By comparison, the temp directory isn't so surprising.
Can we please stop with the "done right"?
For systems programming though? Running on a server is not the only similarity you should be looking at.
I will be amazed if anyone is prosecuted for this, even more so if this impedes the practice in anyway.
I agree. I use a VM for Windows as well. It's probably safer to keep Windows sandboxed away in a VM. I know this doesn't work well for everyone, but any app I use in Windows is not that resource-intensive. I haven't tried WINE recently, but due to headaches years ago, I tend to avoid it and just fire up the VM.
Startups Being Funded Are “Mostly Crap and Largely Worthless”
I specifically remember that I read that (it was a checkbox feature) about the ancient POSIX subsystem. The SFU/Interix system was a bit more capable, I think? I did install it at one time, but never really used it.

Edit: yes, that is in fact exactly what the first link you gave says: The POSIX subsystem was added as the POSIX standard had become very prevalent in procurement contracts. [...] This original subsystem was, I think it's fair to say, deliberately crippled to make it not useful for any real-world applications. Applications using it had no network access and no GUI access, [...] SFU contains a full POSIX environment, with a Software development kit allowing applications to be written that have access to networking and GUI API's.
It's a weakly typed language and it exhibits all kinds of bizarre not-very-well-thought out behaviors.

c.f. the disaster with npm a few days ago.

These problems are particularly pernicious for large scale apps - which this isn't, currently, but probably aspires to be one day.

Any strongly typed language would be better (python, go, ruby, etc.).
Webtime Tracker – discover your browsing habits, time tracking at its best
If nobody set a global cookie, a passive attacker cannot correlate different tabs using different circuits. See https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/3455 and https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser/design/#ident...
And with Git, for example, you know that the project you're contributing to won't be dependent on some strange runtime, so all kinds of people and projects will find it easier to trust it as a core part of their infrastructure... so long as the project can maintain a reputation of secure coding practices...

Lots of fun; while backing up the filesystem prior to wiping and rebuilding it, they ran out of IOPS to do it in a reasonable time frame, so after considering other options:

One obvious solution would be to use a ramdisk, a virtual disk that actually resides in the memory of a node. The problem was that even our biggest system had 1.5TB of memory while we needed at least 3TB.

As a workaround we created ramdisks on a number of Taito cluster compute nodes, mounted them via iSCSI over the high-speed InfiniBand network to a server and pooled them together to make a sufficiently large filesystem for our needs.

A hack they weren't at all sure would work, but it did nicely.
Another loophole is to always treasure what you have. I bought a 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe in 2009 because I really enjoyed the car I test drove. I still drive that car today with 135K miles on it. At least once a week, when I get in, I try to think "I really like this car." Even though it's now 7 years old, starting to get creaky and long ago lost the new car smell, I try to remember what it was like to really enjoy the car. By doing this regularly, I have been able to prevent some of the effects of hedonic accustomization. Reading Stoic philosophy helps too. A Guide to the Good Life is a good place to start.

My Last Lecture: How to Be a Bad Professor (Dave Patterson, UC Berkeley)
"It will also be interesting if there is a legal claim for the gig workers at these companies to make that their labor helped “create the value” at the companies that replace them."

Well, I would certainly hope any employee help create value for the companies they work for... even if they get laid off eventually.
No, my comment is like saying the typical minimum selection and output chunk of a chatbot is greater than one character at a time. The rules of Go dictate a single position selection per move. Chatbots do not have that restriction.

Yes you can write a chatbot that chooses a character at a time, but no chatbot using a per character chunk has been considered remotely successful since before Eliza.

I agree that the branching factor is not well defined for a chatbot. Although it definitely is not 26.
Are you being serious? Have you seen facebook groups or discord? Both are amazing apps. Facebook groups is better than most native apps I see.

Just because the tool isn't the right tool for your job means nothing about how good it is. graph databases aren't the best at searching large singular tables, but that doesn't make them useless.
I would. Professionally I command a high rate consulting within the Microsoft ecosystem. All of my professional work is on Windows. However I'd love to run some Linux libraries on Windows. For example, tensorflow would be very useful. Sure I can fire up a VM, but then I lose GPU support which is a big deal.
Not saying that this wasn't racially motivated, but aren't a huge proportion of people who use these check cashing places minorities? Looks like the store employee was black, too, based on the image.

It's definitely messed up what they did (and completely messed up that calling the police got the kids threatened with arrest), but I wouldn't be surprised if this boiled down to the stipend being for more than the normal amount that they usually see from people in his age cohort.

Either way, it's a good thing he had people he could call to settle this for him.

Abstract: The premise of a last lecture, which is a tradition at some universities, is that if this were the last public lecture you would give, what would you say? In the hope of starting that tradition here—in my actual final Berkeley lecture before I retire in June—I will give the fourth and final edition of my bad advice talks. (The prior three were “How to Give a Bad Talk,” “How to Have a Bad Research Career,” and “How to Build a Bad Research Center.”)

The first part of the talk will be a tongue-in-cheek advice at how to be awful at all the responsibilities of professorship: research, classroom teaching, graduate student advising, service to the field, and service to the campus and community. Guidelines include:
(Research) Papers are the Coin of the Academic Realm
(Classroom) PowerPoint Replaces Preparation
(Grad Students) It’s Quantity, Not Quality
(Service to the Field) Serve only if a big Fame Ratio: Name Recognition Increase / Hours Invested
(Service to the Campus and Community) Don’t Do It!
The second part of the talk will offer advice on alternatives to being a terrible professor. As I’ve got nothing left to hide, I’ll use tell-all examples from my four decades at Berkeley.

After a question and answer session, I’ll tell my story of how I accidentally became a CS grad student and a Berkeley professor, and life lessons that I wish someone had told me 40 years ago that I’ll pass along now.
I don't see anything illogical in fg bg ls cd mkdir cp rm man ... Perhaps a little cryptic, but it's just mnemonics. Not to mention that short names are very convenient in a text-based shell.

There are two non-native apps I use frequently on OS X, which are both rather jarring and tawdry in their deviations from the platform norms.

Slack is the second-worst offender. It feels less native than many websites do.

The other is Rubymine, which on Mac now includes its own embedded Java runtime. It's significantly worse, but they are neighbors on the spectrum. Slack suffers less because it's mostly just chat, which can be done even in a Terminal window (e.g., IRC) without suffering that badly. But when you try to do anything in Slack other than just chat, the non-native kludge factor quickly becomes obvious and irritating.
The philosophical position mounted by the author of Ecclesiastes, Albert Camus, and other existentialists is that being rich is nice and enjoying life is good, but the work and sacrifice it takes to achieve wealth isn't worth it. More and more research seems to be backing up this proposition, and why shouldn't it?

Working for even a short season of time at a pace that affects our relationships to those important to us leaves us with lost time. We irrevocably change our relationships slightly and miss out on important events. People say things like, "I'll make it up to them." The problem? You can't make up time to someone! Even if you have a lot of free time in the future, it is likely that your relations will not. Wealth is impossible to share in a socially acceptable way, and so you're left with wealth that only you will enjoy, for the most part.

I'm not saying that the drive to make money shouldn't be there, but I'm not killing myself to get there.
“Economics” as Push Poll
I'm not sure what the purpose of your comment is. In the article, overconsumption, pollution, and interstate water routing disputes are all mentioned as exacerbating factors, with climate is only given a passing mention. Those human factors are part of a wide, ongoing discussion in Indian communities around the world, and water catchment is common in municipalities within the country. I'm not sure this is an 'honesty' issue to the extent that you suggest...
Yes! I joined Microsoft 2 years ago, prior to that was on OS X. I couldn't believe how awful cmd.exe was. It was like if a college student half implemented some homework assignment and we all had to use it. I tried using cygwin, PowerShell, and other shells but that was hard because too much of my day to day work depended on shared scripts that I would have to manually update for my shell. So I was stuck with cmd.exe and it was miserable.

Windows 10 fixed that with the improvements you mentioned. It's still no "Terminal", but it's now about 80% as good, instead of 1%.

At home, I am using ubuntu since 2009. The first year, I have dual-booted a lot. Progressively, I have stopped. The last time I have booted in Windows was december 2014 to check if it was still working. If a desktop app does not work with wine, I do not use it.

Consider that the previous music "streaming" technology was radio, which was free, and $10 sounds expensive. Except that $10 a month is now the final product, and basically presents a dead end to the music sales funnel outside of concerts/collectibles.

I am still paying for my downloads because I like weird artists and I think it is an important vote that I really like their music and want them to continue producing more. That is a luxury few afford anymore.
PowerShell objects are actually a superset of . Net objects. They can also represent COM objects, WMI objects, XML nodes, etc. You can also export them to CSV, XML, JSON, and yes, even text. If you have cygwin installed you can pipe to and from the cygwin commands from PowerShell and pipe to and from powershell.exe from your cygwin shell.
This might be the most exciting news I've heard in a long time. Being able to use Visual Studio and .NET for web development while using zsh and all the other Linux tools? Dreamland.
Unclear how this is new, even Google, Amazon, etc. have either been doing this internally, offering it as a service, been susceptible to man-in-the-middle exploits to mining real world data for training sets, released data, etc.

Worth noting that a surprisingly common amount of sites have other sections of their site which are not routed through Cloudflare. Look for instances of DNS records like this:

admin.example.com

Such a record is usually not routed through Cloudflare because the last thing a webmaster wants is to solve captchas for their own website. They don't however care much for their visitors if they're subjecting (possibly a substantial amount of them) to captcha solving nonsense.

The content in the non-cf sections of a site can still be accessed because the webmaster is lazy and didn't care to check if a visitor can do a DNS DIG on all their DNS records.

Or you can simply use TOR pluggable transports to pretend you're Googlebot, and also hide all your traffic in Google-like traffic.

What was interesting to me about this was that they had decided not to enforce a deletion policy on /wrk, because they had so much space and the filesystem hadn't ever failed. But a rolling deletion policy would have gone a long way to containing the damage by encouraging the users to move their data to a filesystem optimized for reliability instead of availability. Still, I appreciate the heroics involved in restoring the data.
