TL;DR version: Anything that is not your application won't use the resources in the same way, and will have very different properties (scaling, performance, contention, etc.)

Longer:

bonnie++ is not a load generator. Really. Start a typical run with a command line test case you find online and you'll see no actual IO. Lots of cache hits. We used to use it, 10 years ago, to play around with load generation, but found that it didn't generate enough IO, or in a way that actually matched what people do.

IOzone is marginal ... I wouldn't use it for a serious test, and when people suggest dd or IOzone, I ask them how well the code actually matches their use case. Chances are that it is also largely irrelevant to this. Worse still is that the IOzone throughput measurements are basically bogus, using a naive sum of bandwidths, rather than showing the interesting data (the actual histogram or distribution of performance, including the start/end times, and the rates per thread/process as a function of time).

fio is good, in that you can implement many types of tests that have a reasonable chance at being meaningful. I caught Sandforce controllers compressing non-random data on benchmarks they were using for the SSDs that used them with fio. Actual SF performance was lower than spinning rust once you fed it real random data.

We wrote something called io-bm (https://gitlab.scalableinformatics.com/joe/io-bm) for pounding on parallel file systems (specifically to stress them and see how they scaled and dealt with contention for network, metadata, etc.). I am not sure if the repo has our histogramming and time series bits in it so we can see individual thread performance as well as overall performance, might be in a private repo.

Basically it boils down to the TL;DR above. If its not your code, then you are likely testing with an application that is somewhere between partially to wholly irrelevant to your use case.
Why Users Abandon Forms with Select Menus
So the really cool question is this: if mobbing can bring a room full of BAs, testers, biz folks, and designers up to speed on the technical details of implementation (which it can), how far does that go? Could you take, say, two really good developers and five smart and enthusiastic people from the street and end up with a good team?

Beats me. But I really want to try :)
"Keep Earth hospitable" and "Colonize Mars" have very different goals, though. It would likely be humanity's crowning achievement to put a permanent outpost on another planet, but it would be, what, 15 people maybe? The other planet we're talking about has to support at least 7 billion.
No, Those Who Are No Longer Our Countrymen (TWANLOC) have been at war with my side for many decades, and things might be coming to a head. But I think the fact that my side is realizing we really are in a war, that we've been mostly losing outside of gun control (where our betters have been catastrophically losing outside of a few benighted states), and are starting to respond like in supporting Trump ... well, surely you've noticed where the violence is coming from against people who are merely engaging in core democratic political activities like attending a rally: http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2016/06/videos-and-pho...

What do you suggest we do in the face of a violent Left?

As for the lines in the sand, the only one I've declared here, since it's a pretty low floor, is mandatory gun registration nationwide, since we know our history and what that portends. Beyond that, you're imputing stuff about me that's pure fantasy. But look at for example that ACLU leader who resigned after her daughters came face to face with the consequences of World War T.

And, as I'm saying, leave us the [expletive deleted] alone, to use one of your examples, don't make us bake your gay wedding cakes, and we won't have to go down these ugly paths.

But the Left is congenitally unable to do that, since among other things it believes in the perfectibility of man, vs. e.g. the doctrine of Original Sin, which as a favorite history professor noted to much laughter, "is an empirical observation". So, when we don't conform to your ideas of perfection, out comes the guillotine in the first modern incarnation of the Left, and, again, we who read our history know all that, and aren't going to passively be carted (tumbrelled) to them.

Yeah, you should find it scary if you haven't realized that you're in the middle of the war and, let me assume, not on the side that's now starting to get serious about fighting back. Democratically for the moment, but how long that's allowed isn't looking to be up to us, is it?

As others have said, freedom of speech is not the first Amendment and America is not the world. But even American thinkers themselves define it more broadly, (and always have) e.g.

> What is the liberty of the press? Who can give it any definition which would leave not the utmost latitude for evasion? I hold it to be impracticable... [0]

> Protection against the tyranny of government isn't enough; there needs to be protection also against the tyranny of prevailing opinion and feeling [1]

> Liberty of circulating is as essential to liberty as liberty of publishing; indeed, without the circulation, the publication would be of little value. [2]

Then of course even if what you have in mind is the First Amendment, its whole historical trajectory is to expand to apply to more things. As written it applied to only Congress as distinct from any other form of government, and I note the conspicuous absence of that limitation in how you describe the freedom. And this may be news to some, but we started applying it to private actors long before I was born (Wickersham v. City of Columbia, Brentwood Acad. v. TN Sec. School Ath. Assn, etc.) So it has a long history of ever-expanding scope, and of course when you look at what e.g. Madison thought it was broad from its very birth.

Now we get to

> Well, the real world will never let you have that type of "free speech". If it bothers people... they can start another website/college that allows it. ... In other words, the non-government "free speech" has a cost and sometimes, society doesn't want to pay for it

I'm trying not to poison the well, but this same argument made here has implications for e.g. civil rights. "If you want a hotel that lets black people stay there you can start another one. Racial integration has a cost and society doesn't want to pay for it." But we decided as a society (over many folks' objections) that racial equality was important, and so we wrote legislation. Some people really disliked that at the time; some people still dislike it. However as we no longer have segregated bathrooms I think it is hard to argue that "the real world will never let you" establish human rights, it is actually the story of our country.

You are certainly free to believe that there we have no fundamental human right to expressing a political position on the Internet without living in fear of being fired from our job; that we have come quite far enough, thanks. You can also believe that one's "right" to do that is trumped by other people's rights to contract freely.

But I think in that case one should just admit that they don't see free speech as a fundamental human right. There is no shame in that position. And there is no need to hide behind an economic argument from a dark time in our history, there is no need to accuse folks who do see free speech as fundamental as "diluting" the term or that we live somewhere other than "the real world". Just saying "I don't believe it's a right" is a much faster, tighter, and more difficult argument to attack.

How do people get work done WITHOUT having 50 tabs open? It's a pretty regular occurrence for me, between having MSDN, the PostgreSQL handbook, documentation for a half dozen libraries, my "read later" list, etc., there's almost never a day I am not drowning in tabs. Thankfully, the Tree-Style Tabs extension saves the day here!

My favourite description of dealing with this is from Cialdini's Influence, where he describes getting in a car accident, and worrying about the bystander effect as people drove past without stopping, and how he applied his knowledge about it to counter the effect.

The most important aspect is basically that your chances of getting help goes up dramatically if you address specific people and ask for specific action ("you in the red shirt, please call 911" rather than "help").

Once people understand that there is a problem, and nobody else has it in hand, and they've been asked, chances are they will help, and once one person has started helping, the odds that more people will help of their own accord goes up significantly as well.

Incidentally this translates to many aspects of life. If you ever want a group of people to take action, address specific people and get them to start. Once someone starts it becomes far harder for others to remain idle, and the first people are far more likely to start if you specifically task them with it.
But reading from left to right/top to bottom is definitely not universal. How will you make sure that the figures are read in the correct order? Perhaps a future culture will read the signs to mean that they should bring old and dying people to the stone to resurrect them?

Wow that's crazy. I saw your comment and thought "no way." I'm not the most tied into open source development but it is very surprising to me that something that is so embedded inside Rails is not being actively developed. I wonder if Rails is going to move away from it now as it probably should anyway?
I already responded to this point in my last post. Even if you were to parameterize as a form of compression, which is outside the scope of the original point to which I was responding, it still doesn't meaningfully compress the results because I can just generate a whole new impossibly large set of intelligible questions, like "why doesn't sentence X make sense?". The number of sentences that require intelligent answers is simply impossibly huge for a fixed set of if-statements.
I'm not sure why you assume consciousness happens "now". I would argue consciousness intuitively includes more time than that, perhaps even your entire conscious lifetime, as when you are conscious that includes your identity which would include your memories and hopes.

Yeah, or you're just being rude but nobody is telling you..
But he isn't talking about "first-person experience", he specifically said "consciousness". Which is a confused word. He can't give any solid definition to it, not without using other similar and "fuzzy" words. He can't give any test that distinguishes "consciousness" from "non-consciousness".

You can say "that's the point of the hard problem", but that's as silly as making up a "hard problem of defining blegness". And insisting that I have "blegness" but refusing to define what I mean by that.

The problem of consciousness is a purely empirical question. That is we can examine the brain, and we can figure out how it works. We can find a set of rules that explains human behavior. In theory, we could even model human behavior so well that we can understand exactly why some people insist they have "consciousness". We could record the neurons that fire to produce that thought, and we can trace back to what structures because it.

And once such a detailed model exists, there is nothing left to explain! We would know exactly why people are saying they feel "conscious" or "blegness". There would be no need to introduce weird philosophies or supernatural beliefs.

Driving in India is only insane to westerners. I have been driving in India for a decade and I dont find it hard at all. Driving in the US though is one of the most stressfull things for me.

Part of the stress in US is because of the different side driving, but also a lot because I have to keep in mind a TON of rules - lane markers, speed limits, lane changing etc.- and everyone moves in super high speed so any mistake can be fatal.

In India, on the other hand I just need to take care of the signals and otherwise wherever my car can fit, I am good to go. If my car rubs a bit against another car or a small bump here and there - no big deal. Driving in the night though is stressful in India also and I avoid it.
Huh? What sentence are you looking at? And what does it have to do with submitting to HN?
Nice recipe. I don't find ELK particularly daunting to set up in docker containers, but it's nice to see a working config laid out like this. In our case we used haproxy and terminated ssl there also, but hginx works great in the same role. I like your use of syslog to ship to logstash. The first time I deployed this we used a custom python log handler to write to logstash directly, and then found we needed syslog to get events from the databases, proxies, etc. So we ended up with two paths, one for the stuff we wrote in python and one for everything else. Easier in the end to just use syslog.

"Since the indictment, Imaging Universe has charged Schapiro $8,200 to produce nine sets of discovery documents to his defense team. The motion identifies those records to include a dozen CDs containing approximately 1,140 PDF files, many with multiple pages."

It appears that the defense was required to be on-premise to review the documents and was charged a fee by Imaging Universe to take copies with them. Requesting copies of all records shouldn't be necessary to obfuscate the defense's real documentation needs.

I don't think it would. Implementation of the language would be easier, though, and I suspect that knowing that memory is not reclaimable might act as a beneficial constraint on design.
>The concept is used as an argument against physicalism,

I don't see it as an argument against anything, it's just an interesting philosophical hypothetical made plausible by our inability to observe conciousness.

I could certainly see an argument that they're not that interesting on a more practical level (since by definition, we can never apply any conclusions made about them) but I don't understand the suggestion that they're logically incoherent.
I found one good use for Siri so far: as a calculator. Much easier to say "square root of seventeen times five-eights?" than find the calculator app and key that in there.
Of course, your definition of emergency might not match the hospitals.
You're just confusing morals and laws. Facebook censorship might be immoral, but the only way to make it illegal would be to rescind Facebook's freedom of speech, by making them publish whatever the government wanted.

If the government were forcing Facebook to censor some topic, that would be immoral and illegal. All of your examples fall into this category.

Well, dualism is very similar to how I see the world, so I guess I'm a dualist, at least approximately. Why would anyone pretend not to be a dualist?

That's an awkward part of our society. Yes, legally they are, but we have some social conventions saying they are not. I agree with you that they legally are, and should be treated as such, but it's not so black and white, unfortunately.

> Why will this hurt Bernie's turnout more than Clinton's?

Because once the media crowns a winner (or even just declares a candidate practically eliminated), they tend to underperform their polls even if they haven't publicly conceded.

(When a winner is crowned, it also tends to depress turnout for the whole contest, which has to be a concern for downballot Democrats in California, especially with the top-two primary system for non-Presidential races which actually makes the primary more like the general election in a general + runoff system than a normal primary; while it probably doesn't matter a lot in the statewide races or areas which are Democratic strongholds, it could matter in other places. Actually, in some of the Democratic-favored races it could make the difference between two Democrats advancing in the top-two system and a Republican actually making the cut, so it might matter even there.)

> Clinton seems worried that this coverage could cost her points today.

That's not what you'd usually expect based on history, but its certainly possible (that Clinton supporters could stay home because they don't feel the need to vote, and Sanders supporters show up as a protest to the media coronation), and given the effect it has on interpretation of the results, its the expectation the Clinton campaign would want voice concern about and use to shape media coverage whether or not its a real concern.

It's weird. I can't imagine working on large (and critical) code bases in dynamic languages just from pats experiences on working on those systems, yet the project I'm working on now (that has the potential to be critical if the MVP goes well and I can put it in production) I've resigned to using Elixir.

Even though I keep getting bit by bugs that a proper type checker would catch (Dialyzer is not sufficient for some of these bugs unfortunately) the problem is such a perfect use case for the BEAM VM that I don't really have a lot of choice without increasing the complexity by a lot.
My family has lived in South India for many decades. India's infrastructure and emergency response in not very good although it has improved over the years. One thing I have observed is - it is the bystanders, the common man who rushe to the aid of victims in case of disasters - accidents, train derailment, floods, earthquakes. I could give you dozens of examples gathered from newspapers and from first hand experiences of kith and kin. People just jump in and start helping in such situations. People help each other especially when the emergency response is not reliable or immediately available. If your car slid into a ditch in rural Minnesota, passing cars will come to your aid. Where as in New York City, people may just drive by knowing that you will get a tow truck.
This is the issue with reports like this - they pick one or two such statistically rare case and write a report it, opening the door wide to generalization especially on a globally popular news site. For every such incident, I'm sure there are tens of thousands incidents where people help, which never get reported.
Also, reincarnation played a part in the American understanding. They were moving on to a new life and you wouldn't want to interfere.

I'm not saying that this was a sophisticated understanding. These were random American service men send to support the airlift to Burma. All I'm saying is that this was a common phenomena in the early 1940's in at least part of India and it's unlikely that it was the result of the British-Indian judicial system of the time.
