If you'd really like a guarantee, you can always unmount the filesystem, or alternatively, mount it read-only:

mount -ur /mnt/blah

That will guarantee, at least at the filesystem/OS level, that the writes are committed.
You're responding to someone who runs a repair shop...

Seriously though it reads as if that shop has fair repair charges, and it's simply easier (thus cheaper) to repair an iPhone than some no-name android. This conforms to my experience with other sorts of equipment. You'll always pay more when the case has panels attached by screws, rather than two plastic shells that can only be mated once.
I know! I wish I could force women to talk to me against their will :-/
I think the SMD resistors are well standardized.

A resistor measuring ~0.6mm x 0.3mm is an 0201. (2 1/100ths of an inch by 1 1/100th of an inch.) The standard doesn't make sense in SI units, but it's the standard.

I totally agree with that. Actually that's the reason why speed is not a main goal and it is more about the style of programming and exploring new ways. The long term goal is to use new upcoming technologies to implement it in a faster way although.

Man "entitlement" is such a weird word, and such a weird way to frame the issue. There are property owners who would like to build on their own property, not hurting anyone. And being told they're not allowed to because rich people like the aesthetic. There's poor people being priced out of their own city because of this. Who's entitled?

And this is hardly the first time a US city has experienced growth.
Wow, I'm really jealous of this. I never even had a 2000, I had a 500 with a side expansion that could use an a2000 card, for extra ram, since there was no HD.

I always wanted to do hardware work back then, but never quite had the right opportunity going through school.

So cool to see this, that a500 was how I learned so, so, much about computers that I love that it's still a tool for people to learn with.
Hayek and Mises responsible?

Everybody in power is Keynesian today. Everybody. That is an ideology created from Keynes books once he is dead. The last part is important because if you get to read Keynes, which most Keynesians have not, you would discover what Keynes said and what is Keynesianism is different, so it is very important that he is dead for him to agree with the current system.

In elite schools people are Keynesian, in central banks, in Government,and the media of course(New York Times, The Guardian,everybody) because they benefit from it basically taking resources from the majority of people into their pockets.

You find Austrian economist only in the private sector, but they had lost the war so far.

We had multiple QE, zero interest rates, now into negative territory, we had bail outs, now into bail ins(bank deposit confiscation).

That has a name and it is Keynesianism.
It did not work and we are worse today that before.

Their solution: double down. Banning cash so they could confiscate your savings. Higher taxes. And of course making Hayek and Mises alternatives the Scapegoat of all the mess that we suffer today.

By the way, Austrian economics and Neoliberalism are two different things.
> “From everything I’m looking at, we’re gaining share in all top 20 markets, which is where 80 percent to 90 percent of rides happen,” said Lyft President John Zimmer.

I don't think it's quite that simple, though I don't see mentioned the rate of Lyft's growth in key markets.
Why, thank ya! Bookmarked.
Thank you. I suspected it was but I wanted to verify.
Because Google routinely undermines their partners through internal productizing (see e.g. Flintstone/OnHub), and Google has a large self-driving car program. There's a clear path from there to a Google(/Alphabet)-owned ride provider regardless of investment in Uber.

I guess we're lucky that "Somalia" wasn't invoked for the nine hundredth time.
Women actually consider 80% of men to be worse looking than average average

I think that our culture's "knowledge" about how men/women/gender works is out of whack. Monogamy seems to be demonstrably more stable, but I suspect it's simply better than the preexisting alternatives for high population densities and highly organized societies. I don't think our brains and our cultures are any better suited to human sexuality with access to effective birth control any more than our brains and cultures are suited to a world full of freely available fats and carbohydrates.

That said, one should also be wary of any ideology that seems to come with a tinge of hate or disdain to a particular "type" of person.
thanks for the feedback, I'll have a look into integration with other services
The only good way I've found to do it is to have each service define it's logical (network) dependencies in a formal way, just like it does with it's GAV dependencies (including versions). This way the graph can be statically analyzed, cycles and transitive conflicts can be identified, deployment and roll back can be automated, the graph can be output to graphviz and visualized, and an automated tool can set up QA environments with a given vector of versions.

All that being said, the above setup only addresses about 1/2 the problems mentioned in the post.

I don't know why you were downvoted. It's an interesting question you bring up, maybe I can offer some perspective. Why do you feel not high value? You must have had poor experiences on the dating market I reckon.

Here's the thing though. Your valuable traits you've listed imply a lot about your potential to provide (clarification: survival resources). In a first-world country where the women have their material resources met, the women just don't need that provider value as much. Think about it: Bay Area has a lot of above-average net worth families. Women are highly educated and employed. So your ability to provide, in and of itself, I don't think will be very attractive in your environment.

Would it be more attractive to an East Asian from a less prosperous background? I would think so.

Why is this? Harsher environments change sexual strategies and preferences. I highly recommend watching this video on r-K selection theory, it most certainly applies to humans as well on some level: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V06JBpW6O7I&index=3&list=PLM...

Anyways, what now? Let's say you agree with my premise. I've seen plenty of guys there. I'm guessing you're a highly intelligent and hard-working first or second generation immigrant with a technical job. I've seen this pattern a lot: people like this have trouble with Western women. Well, you need to play more to social status to differentiate yourself. Things like charisma, social dominance, preselection (women like men that other women like) are things to look into. Looking good physically as a man goes a long way as well: get on a solid lifting / bodybuilding program, groom and dress well. There are plenty of resources all around for these things I've mentioned.

To summarize: it's 2016 and you live in the Bay Area. You don't need to provide for women. You need to excite them. You need to differentiate from other men in attractiveness, both socially and physically. There are certain parts of the internet which focus on this stuff and have proven results, though I'll let you search around rather than linking anything here on HN (though I think someone else in this thread posted a link).
> Peskin's numbers look low, but your original claim ("64,000 in 2014") is wrong by a factor of >500%.

You misread my comment. I never claimed a net gain of 64,000 people. I said that 64,000 people moved in in 2014, 52,000 moved out, for a net gain of 12,000 people. This is exactly in line with your census numbers.
Yeah, but have you ever tried to eat with a VR helmet on?
> How do you guarantee that, after a crash, the end of the file is at the end of some write? By updating the file size after the write.

Note that Linux ext4 does not do this. On a power outage, you can get bogus trailing zeros on a file which you were appending, because the file size was updated before the data was written. I asked Ted T'so about this and he said it was working as intended.

I saw a link to the OKCupid blog here earlier, but I think the poster was DV'd out (linking to /r/TheRedPill is not a good idea). OKC was run by some pretty good data folks and they have some very well controlled (if dated) stats on dating. Take a look at this post: http://blog.okcupid.com/index.php/your-looks-and-online-dati...

Essentially, women don't find men very attractive, but that does not stop them from talking to them (last graph). Men tend to go for the 9s and 10s though. Still, your did-I-get-replyed-to rates are comparable regardless of looks. It's only a 3x increase between 1s to 10s, something a little hard-work and typing can overcome if you live in a big city.

So, for all the commenters here that are complaining about not getting replies: It's not your fedora or neckbeard, it's your message content. You may or may not be coming off as an asshole or a wet-blanket.

remnider: This was from 2009, and the rise of bots (see the AshleyMadison fiasco) has skewed everything, I'd wager.
Start with an assembly language designed for teaching: MMIX.

http://mmix.cs.hm.edu/index.html

There are books, courses, homework, and lots of free resources -- in particular, emulators.

Then find a project that interests you, and learn what you need to do for that. 68000 assembly? Forth? Graphics on a VGA card emulated in a VM running MS-DOS? All of these things are entirely do-able.

Or find a project that is already in development and contribute to it. The important bit is your own motivation.
Paris's characteristic "beautiful" architecture is six stories tall stone, SF's is three stories tall wood. Unfortunately SF was started on a major fault, and probably without nearby quarries (which would be insane to use in an earthquake zone anyways).

So now we're stuck in a dichotomy between 4+ stories steel and glass, and the "original" SF Edwardian architecture, which doesn't scale as well as Paris's stone.
Look at the inordinate amount of wealth built up in Saudi Arabia along with its massive income inequality and then you tell me.
>And yet, A-10s are currently deployed to Middle East fighting ISIS and Europe to saber rattle Putin. Not very obsolete.

Which pretty much any other aircraft in the arsenal can do. And obsolete doesn't mean "useless". It just means there are better options.

>There are a myriad of incorrct assumptions in your argument, but I'll focus on one. Pilots flying multi-role aircraft have to train for those multiple roles. They have to remain proficient in multiple mission and skill sets, many of which do not overlap. Do you think multi-role F-16, F-15E, and B-1 pilots/WSOs get extra training resources (flying hours and sorties) over A-10 pilots, who only train for really one mission -- CAS? Newsflash…they don't.

You have a myriad of incorrect assumptions in your argument here, but I think the fastest way to blow hole in it is to point out the A-10 only accounted for 20% of CAS missions in Afghanistan. Pilots of those other airframes are certainly training for CAS - they're doing 80% of the missions.

>It appears you think CAS is nothing more than finding targets in a targeting pod. It is not.

Your whole argument boils down to "I know something you don't". Maybe you should expound, as the only supporting point you provided is simply wrong.
Anecdotally, I hired one of the best engineers I have ever worked with when he was 31 and a junior in college. I hired him as an intern. Now, 5 years later, he's making well North of 6 figures.

By the way, as an intern he was still learning. I remember one day he was running the longest, worst, non-infinite loop I have ever seen. It ran for hours! He asked me what was wrong. That was his trick. He would ask good questions and he would remember what he learned and applied it later. That's why he's such a great engineer. He still learns to this day. So, do it! And keep on learning.

The problem with your analysis is that it undervalues the benefits of living and working in a major city, especially as a young person. I don't really want to remote -- I want to get out, interact with people, take a coffee break and people watch, grab drinks with coworkers. I want to meet people my age doing interesting things. I want to go out drinking/clubbing/whatever without worrying about driving home after.

Admittedly part of the problem is I, like most of my generation, grew up in the suburbs. Once I turned 18 I couldn't wait to get out.

I could work remote and move back to my hometown or Missouri or Thailand -- but why would I? I'd be sacrificing much of my current life to do so. Of course my opinion would probably change if I had kids, but for now I live in a city for a reason.
There is a C-130 variant for ground attack, as well as kits the marines use to turn a C-130J into a ground attack craft. But the C-130 is very big and very slow, so you need absolute dominance of the skies and you need to make sure you've cleared out all the ground based AA.

I applaud your effort. I have upvoted this.

I will suggest you devote more effort to developing a means to talk to companies about "best practices" and how to do this better. Try to frame it in a non judgey fashion. Try hard to avoid sounding like you are moralizing. People will interpret your position that way anyway simply because of the space you are in. You will need to kind over compensate for that to have any hope of being heard as not being on your high horse about this.

I liked the Design for Diversity section. At the moment, all the titles I am seeingseem to be about web and app design. I hope you have plans to also write about how companies can design the company to attract and retain a diverse work force.

Let me suggest you do your best to find good research and to frame it in terms of what is in it for the company. I like your bit about how much job turnover costs. You need more in that vein. Case studies of how to do this sell and how it promotes success for the company would be a good thing.

I don't know where I saw it recently, but I have seen stats that correlate diversity to profitability. This would be another good angle to high light: Hey, all you Programmers, you are leaving money on the table.

If I ran this, I would be angling to help non diverse companies do this better as a means to further my mission and grow my user base/potential paying customer base. I will suggest that helping companies find "low hanging fruit" -- I.e. relatively painless ways to promote diversity -- would be a great way to start enticing companies down the slippery slope of goodness here.
I decided to make a website to find the truth about things
Article doesn't mention that none of the developers are trying to raze down beautiful Victorian houses to build skyscrapers. Most of SF, West of Van Ness avenue, remains untouched, even the super ugly single family houses in Richmond and Sunset. All the development is happening in Eastern Neighborhoods; SOMA, Mission Bay and Central Waterfront.

A very small percentage of the construction overall that's happening in the Mission district and Potrero hill is creating all this anti development noise. Even in these neighborhoods developers just want to build housing in underutilized land..

Beside the fact you're wrong (structs, arrays, bools, numeric values, strings and functions can't be nil, for instance), I'm always a little puzzled when I read the argument that "nil costs billions of $".

First, most of the expensive bugs in C/C++ programs are caused by undefined behaviors, making your program run innocently (or not, it's just a question of luck) when you dereference NULL or try to access a freed object or the nth+1 element of an array. "Crashing" and "running erratically" are far from being the same. If those bugs were caught up-front (just like Java or Go do), the cost would be much less. The Morris worm wouldn't have existed with bound-checking, for instance.

Second point, since we're about bound checking. Why is nil such an abomination but trying to access the first element of an empty list is not? Why does Haskell let me write `head []` (and fail at runtime) ? How is that different from a nil dereference exception ? People never complain about this, although in practice I'm pretty sure off-by-one errors are much more frequent than nil derefs (well, at least, in my code, they are).
It's a skill that works by paying attention to different structural details in the writing. Instead of breaking up individual words, it looks first for the signal of the sentence parts and sentences as wholes with a higher level of meaning. Given that individual words can have multiple meanings, it skips a layer. Once you get the context going you should already have a predictive model for what definition of the word is meant.

It helps if the writing is clear and flowing.

Can anyone find where they got "[GPS had] its most accurate day ever last week" from? All sites about GPS accuracy seem to be down and I can find no news sources mentioning a most accurate day at any point in time.

Edit: a bit further on they mention it in more detail: "It had its “best day ever” on Monday, generating signals with an an average global accuracy of .38 meters." but once again no source.
And we can also use google to find stories on ourselves too, in Sweden. Havent seen any flowers yet, though. ;)
Well, I think it is really a lot more complicated than that.

I also think it would be nice if folks who posted to Apply HN posts tried a little harder to engage with the application. This is not really the place to just make chit chat about gender issues.
I think the rules are quite different when dealing with human processes rather than algorithmic ones.
Big data is just data. Though it's often sold as delivering omniscience, it doesn't inherently explain causation. It could allow in the creation of better or new models, and reduce the delay in finding out what we already know with existing models. But you won't ever get rid of models completely, as any method of prediction is itself based on a model.

But I agree with your bigger point about there being possible methods/technologies that supersede some aspects of naked free markets, or mixed markets as we know them.
This part is troubling:

In May 2014, Dave Willner and Dan Kelmenson, a software engineer at Facebook, patented a 3D-modeling technology[1] for content moderation ... First, the model identifies a set of malicious groups - say neo-Nazis, child pornographers, or rape promoters. The model then identifies users who associate with those groups through their online interactions. Next, the model searches for other groups associated with those users and analyzes those groups "based on occurrences of keywords associated with the type of malicious activity and manual verification by experts." This way, companies can identify additional or emerging malicious online activity

It's not hard to imagine how this could be misused: Automated guilt-by-association, and within 3 degrees of separation, triggering investigation by authorities (corporate or otherwise).

EDIT: And also this tool of automated censorship, though I doubt it will surprise many HN readers

PhotoDNA works by processing an image every two milliseconds and is highly accurate. ... Then PhotoDNA extracts from each image a numeric signature that is unique to that image, "like your human DNA is to you." Whenever an image is uploaded, whether to Facebook or Tumblr or Twitter, and so on, he says, "its photoDNA is extracted and compared to our known ... images. Matches are automatically detected by a computer and reported ... for a follow-up investigation"

Currently used for child exploitation images, but for what else too and by whom? They add that it's being applied to something more political:

Farid is now working with tech companies and nonprofit groups to develop similar technology that will identify extremism and terrorist threats online - whether expressed in speech, image, video, or audio.

The lack of school district is the most hilarious objection. If you live in a rural area, then the government is required to send a bus miles out of it's way to get your kids to school.

Yet people living in one of the most populated cities in the US apparently live too far away from schools and shouldn't be allowed to build.
In COIN missions, when operating very close to the enemy, you often need to get close enough to for visual confirmation. The truth is, with guidance you can hit a dot at an arbitrary distance. But without visual, it's awfully hard to be sure what that dot is.

Visual confirmation allows ordinance to be fired at tens rather than hundreds of meters. The perfect replacement for the A-10, which (let's face it) is major overkill, despite being a truly awe-inspiring machine, is the turboprop South American anti-cartel aircraft the A-29B Super Tucano.

The other proposed replacements for the A-10's CAS duties are the F-35 JSF, and the Sikorsky S-97 Raider, which is an overpriced under-armed light attack helicopter.

The problem is that now that the A-29B isn't being built, the A-10 has to be decommissioned in order to justify the Raider and and the F-35 CAS.

And with Putin's "frozen conflicts" strategy expanding, it never hurts to have a aerial gun that can punch through Soviet-made tanks like tissue paper.
