I have had the same experience after deleting my account several years ago (for different reasons). I do keep wondering if it will pop up as an issue, so I'm very curious about other people's experiences when not participating in LinkedIn.
Oh my goodness yes. So much to love about !Zap. My first ARM assembly programs were written using the Zap disassembler/assembler extension. I also really miss the way it displayed search results, not seen another editor that does it quite like that.
Show HN: F-dotfiles, GNU stow with healthy organization guidelines
I decided to have a dotfiles repo a few months ago.
Started with a @holman fork but was rebuted by the bootstrap/install scripts limitations.

Using stow resolved that.

Then I stumbled upon questions that did not have obvious gold standard way to do it :

- how do you differentiate folders meant to be stowed from others?

- how do you store config files saved at different locations depending on platform without duplicating content?

- how to deal with files with sensitive information?

So I used some guidelines to deal with theses cases, the result is F-dotfiles.

At that point it sounds like it would be easier to jab an electrode in your neck matrix-style and have your body go through a programmed exercise while you watch a movie or something.
Whilst that's interesting, it's not what I was talking about and it's actually the opposite. For example, just because I can tell your device that it should read /secret, doesn't mean the computer it's plugged into will let it.

With that said, I wouldn't be suprised if you were right either, but that's going to need a different google search. Thanks for the link nonetheless.
The push for innovation is probably the greatest right now. However, I like to think the greatest innovations are those that make my own life simpler. There's: airplanes, cars, electricity, GPS and others.
Innovation today, while technically impressive, is mostly making my life more complex, not more simple.

I think he might be referring to "public" but not public wifi, like coffee shops etc.

I've long thought that if your business is using public unlicensed spectrum then you should be required to let the public in.

A very large national phone carrier in my country is blanketing the cities with wifi reserved for their customers - using a public resource and clogging up the unlicensed spectrum for private gain. They've already bought a lot of spectrum licenses, but clearly using public spectrum is a cost-effective way to add capacity.

I will never get in love with Finder on OS X.. most horrible File Manager ever. Finder is like a punishment for everybody switching to OS X (I want copy&paste and folders first everywhere, gosh). Thunar on XFCE was also ok. At least ForkLift nowadays helps me not to be angry at my Mac ;)
I think you missed my point which was why your downvoted. So, yes, I want my keyboard to reigster key pressed. That's what it's there for.

I don't want it to read abitary files from my system and then call home and it's resonable to assume and desire that the computer does not allow that to happen.

I'm more disappointed that by killing it, they've fully killed the one chance Conker had of getting a decent new game after Conker's Bad Fur Day on the Nintendo 64. Okay, they technically killed that late last year when Conker's Big Reunion was cancelled, but still. No more Project Spark = not even a chance of development resuming on it. It also means the fan project to recreate Pocket Tales in 3D in Project Spark looks to be dead too.

No, Young Conker is not a good alternative. As the thousands of dislikes and hugely negative coverage proves.

But yeah, it's a shame. Looked like a good engine for making games and game worlds, and possibly a good way for companies to bring back retro characters and franchises as part of episodic campaigns.
Most people would be unwilling to pay the cost of developer time.

I might be wrong here, but I think you need your data in kernel memory (fs cache f.ex) to leverage zero copy I/O. Putting things in your process heap would then be counter productive.

Beside there are things doing just that for you. Like varnish.

btrfs is stable as of kernel 3.14 or so. The features in btrfs that are unstable at this point are raid56 (write hole on power failure risk), autodefrag (and mainly just with high transaction files like vm images and databases), and ext34/in place filesystem conversion.

We've been running btrfs in production since Ubuntu 14.04 with excellent results. The feature set vastly outweighs the few risks that remain.

Ugh.. and it is so hard to actually get on those wifi networks -- at least as a traveller. They'll give it free to mobile customers, who never bother to use it.

Yes, I was referring to cafe / resto wifi. If one opens it, then people take advantage, but if everyone opens theirs, then nobody bothers. Only some really cheapskate neighbors who most probably don't consume all that much of it anyways.

everybody has a smartphone now, most don't bother asking for the wifi password. If you ask for it, then often the next problem is the router doesn't work because nobody has used it in so long.
The same in the essay; go down the list and ask which is the first not to be unambiguously a pumpkin.
Interesting findings. I'm curious also to see how fixed width stripes change the performance profile in btrfs (presently not supported). To be clear though, the raid5/6 write hole only applies to power failures with data in flight. It is still a concern, of course, but I think depending on your environment is acceptable to some (redundant PSUs, well engineered PDUs and UPS systems). Personally, I'm of increasing opinion that parity rebuilds aren't worth it anyway. I'd rather raid10, raid1, or raid0 depending on use. If I have to take a system out of production during parity rebuild (because IO activity is too intense for performant use), might as well not parity rebuild and simply reload the system on failure and rely on other cluster nodes.

What's your opinion on Krita?
I have one of these, I got it purely to do a build like this inspired by someone else in the hackerspace. There must be a load of people that want hardware like this in and are in various stages of getting it.

I was reading some of the reverse engineered specs when the pocketchip was announced last year. My hope is to see more devices that fit the mold of what people want, rather than what will sell in the market.

It is getting easier to produce human scale hardware like the pocketchip, if we don't see more diverse hardware for more diverse users I shall be very upset.

My solution to the problem was to simply "connect" with every recruiter and friend on linkedin until I hit the "500+" connections tier, then disabled all forms of notifications from the site. Now my profile is very much idle, but when any business-type person looks me up, I still have a presence of sorts.

Macromedia Freehand, in particular deleting bezier points but keeping the shape intact (ie simplifying).

Illustrator still hasn't quite caught up. For any illustration, it's useful to have as few control points as possible. This is particularly useful when making SVGs for the web; it renders faster, and an ability to hand edit the SVG is useful for animation etc. Every font design package has this feature; Illustrator, even now, has nothing that does anything close to the same degree of accuracy. Occasionally they'll roll out an improvement in 'simplify', but I find it staggering that they can't just implement what is a fairly simple feature.

Yes - there are fake reviews, but there are also bunch of discount-for-review. Most of these reviewers are leaving disclaimer and often leave 1-3 star review in my experience.

Now the reason for that is because it super hard to get going with your product without sending discounted samples to reviewers. Because even if you spend tons of money on ads and somehow convince customer to buy your product without reviews, that customer in 99.9% will never leave a review. And if you dare to email this customer to ask for feedback - they will curse you, complain, report to amazon.

That's where things currently are - it is two way street. Without any traffic on it you will end up with very few shitty products by big companies who will have no reason to improve quality or innovate.

I had a LinkedIn account ages ago but found it useless and chock full of recruiter spam. It was the first of all my social networks to go.

I am always astonished when I hear phrases like "it's required". Really? By whom? I'm glad to hear there are other people out there who don't have it, because all I hear about is the other side: People bemoaning LinkedIn's existence but parroting this idea that their professional career would be all but ruined without it. I just cannot understand this, but I always feel like I must be naive or living in a tech bubble, or just outside the mainstream.

Do people really hurt their job prospects without LinkedIn? (Or did they when this was written in 2013?)

you can turn off ad blockers for a single site, or even page/article. it's not that hard. i can easily believe 40% right clicked and hit 'disable adblock for this page' in order to read a single article they are interested in.
I wouldn't. Trivial to me means a call to a C routine looks and feels like a call to a native routine.

Manually managing the memory that the GC "owns" doesn't fit the bill in my definition.
IMO, to combat ad-blockers is a silly effort. This is my reasoning: people that install ad-blockers do so for two reasons: privacy concerned and/or annoyed by ads. If these people would not install the ad-blocker, they would most likely 'still' ignore the ads (the brain is a brilliant ever-adapting ad-blocker!!!). On a pay-per-click model, they'd be wasting prints on a segment very unlikely to click. On a pay-per-print model, it is an opportunity to turn the argument on their favor and tell their advertizers: hey, we are going to charge more per print b/c we now target a narrower segment 'most likely' to see and click your ads.

I find the tactic of guilting me into watching ads to be so damn weird. Why is it my duty to watch ads? Why must I allow myself to be open to the manipulation to purchase something irrelevant (the real purpose of ads) how I must contribute to your website, blog, TV series?

I am not explaining this very clearly, but it's so, so bizarre that somehow it becomes my capitalist duty to watch ads, because you're not some monster who wants newspapers to crumble, are you? Watch your ads like a good boy.

Thunderbird also cannot magically backfill a new subscription. Google Reader could, because pretty much guaranteed, someone else was subscribed already so Google had the history.
First, my example was fcntl(2), which musl is emulating. So that doesn't fit your "rule".

Second, is your "rule" documented anywhere for musl? That's what I'm looking for - an indication by the musl project that such a thing is supported (binary compatibility from newer to older Linux kernels, and if so, what version range).

Without such a project-sanctioned statement, I'm afraid I stand by my position that the blog's assertion that the statically-linked rust-musl binary can be copied to any Linux 2.6.x machine (or newer) and just run without any issues.

I would agree that any statically-linked rust-musl binary could be built on a Linux kernel and then run on a later Linux kernel, but earlier, well that's up to the musl project to say.
This prevents debugging, probably does not really optimize (except 1% in useless microbenchmarks), and increases compiler complexity and the risk of bugs in it. A similar thing has already happen in the past: compiler started to introduce speculative writes on code pathes where the write did not occur in the source code, and this broke multithreaded programs -- IIRC there was no threading model at that time (the current one forbid to do that kind of thing, and it is probably impossible to get a sound threading model that does not forbid that) but instead of saying that they were technically allowed to do that compiler authors recognized that because it made multithreaded programs impossible to write, that they had to fix their shit.

In the C standard, crashing is not a specified behavior, so when an obscure architecture crashes on a specific construct, the standard has to technically say that this is undefined behavior. That compiler authors now interpret most of undefined behavior as a license to be stupid on ALL architecture instead using their brain and allowing non-portable programs to exist is not them being smart optimizing all our code-bases for free but just a proof they do not understand a part of what they are doing, including the standard they pretend to know so much.

So the position of "all the standard, nothing but the standard" is utter bullshit. Another example: the current published atomic specification is subtly unsound. Do compiler authors do the right thing instead of trying to implement the broken spec, while waiting for the spec to be fixed? On that point yes -- at least for now. So when, on other subjects, they introduce new bugs in compiled code compared to what all previously known compilers produced - and without proving this really improves performance like crazy to justify taking that kind of risk - they are just being dangerous asses. -O2 has shown to be able to be fast enough without (reasonable) code breaking behavior in the past. In most case you wants to keep the same behavior as -O0 built programs. An optimisation that does not preserve behaviors reasonably expected by skilled programmers and requires that every programmer knows the standard by heart at any point of their work under penalty of crashes and security holes is not an optimisation but a piece of crap. This is blurry but the C / C++ standards are blurry and their usage even more so -- and more importantly they do not forbid to stay safe and sane to begin with -- so trying to do formal logic instead of doing engineering by thinking about the whole picture and history is completely stupid.
Yep. On older prod boxes. On my own - tmux/tmuxinator.
btrfs is most certainly not dead. I actually think it's really gaining traction presently. It only became stable near Ubuntu 14.04 or so, and it takes people awhile (understandably) to warm up to a new filesystem.

It's great to see ZFS on Linux get a more stable footing. It's an excellent filesystem. As others have said I think the use case differs slightly from btrfs (though they are very similar in capabilities).

ZFS, to my eyes, seems more resilient. It has more levels of data checksums, The RAIDz model allows for more redundancy, and it just feels like a stronger enterprise offering (meaning stable and built for large systems and disk quantities).

btrfs brings many of the ZFS features to Linux in a GPL wrapping. What it lacks in resiliency, it makes up for with flexibility. Raid in btrfs, for instance, occurs within data chunks across disks, not at the disk level, meaning mixed disk capacities, and on the fly raid changes. I also appreciate the way it divides namespace across subvolumes while maintaining block awareness within the pool (cp --reflink across subvolumes, snapshots across subvolumes). It also doesn't have the ram requirements of ZFS (which aren't much of a data center concern, but are definitely a client level concern for workstations).

Either way it's a win, both great filesystems for Linux. With bcache supporting btrfs properly now, I personally don't have much of a reason for ZFS now. Two years ago I would have jumped easily to it. Your workloads and needs may differ, it's great to have choices!
:)

To me, it sounds like you have the perfect head start to this whole scene. I can see why you want people to know this exists...

Your quoting "live" there made me hesitate on the word for just long enough to start wondering about realtime processing, which I get the impression your system is capable of (if you were able to do SD card tests and instantly preview the results).

Now I'm wondering what would happen if you ran your software on a box in the cloud with a 1Gbit link, where people feed in their dual- or tri-camera raw footage, and perfect 3D (and maybe with a hefty premium, calculated depth info) comes out the other end - all in near-realtime. Can you manage less than 1s of latency? 500ms even? (Okay maybe I'm being too optimistic here)

Hmm, and maybe you could provide direct ingress support for broadcast packs....

And thinking about it, depending on how CPU-intensive your system is, you might be able to run this on relatively inexpensive hardware per 1G/2G link. (I know EPB offers commercial 10G installation in Chattanooga for $300/mo, but I'm not sure what their datacenter pricing is.)

I really like the idea of post-processing as a service - considering what options are on the table, that direction seems the least complex and the most straightforward.

(PS. Please excuse the rather non-provisional and overly concrete/direct/instructional wording style of my previous post - my brain's a little under the weather at the moment, and grammaring how I'd prefer to is proving occasionally challenging.)
> I have not suffered in any way

You don't really know that, maybe you missed out on interesting jobs and you'll never know.

At the very least, receiving recruiter emails from LinkedIn allows me to do networking and meet a lot of influential people at various companies, even if I don't end up landing a job there. It also builds my recruiter network, which is never a bad thing: if I ever need a job one day, I am planning to spam my entire network of recruiter, let them know exactly what I'm looking for and let them do the work for me. It goes both ways.

I respect deciding to opt out of LinkedIn but there is an opportunity cost to such a decision that you seem to have overlooked.
Public doesn't mean free to everybody, it means available to everybody. A public house (as opposed to a private club), aka a pub, is not a place you can hang out whenever, they have hours (they are not "public" at night) and you're supposed to buy stuff when you're in there.

There's nothing about password protected wifi that makes it inherently non-public.
