I think 1. matters a lot here. If you do have sufficient funds to go by a few months, I don't see why you can't get a fresh job if you quit without an offer.

I've done this before and am in a similar phase but working on my own startup. Having free time would allow you to think about many things, relax a bit in this stressful life and relearn algorithms and work on side projects. You will be more focused and determined to pass the interview, it's like the final exam that you cannot fail.

Bear in mind it may take 1-2 month to get the job, however you may even hit the big four after preparing well. As for many people who say recruiter ignore applicants without job, I would say ignore them! Or you could approach recruiters/founders via linkedin which can be far more effective.
Apple deprecated AFP and switched to SMB2 by default in Mavericks/10.9 (https://www.apple.com/media/us/osx/2013/docs/OSX_Mavericks_C...). AFP was used only for Time Machines and connections to older Macs.

And it wasn't just anecdotally faster; I worked for a storage company specializing in Mac workflows and AFP was empirically several times faster, especially on 1GbE and 10GbE networks. This was in part due to Apple ditching Samba in Lion/10.7 (http://appleinsider.com/articles/11/03/23/inside_mac_os_x_10...) over GPL concerns and replaced it with their own shitty, incomplete implementation, which they didn't get up to Samba's standards until 10.10.

I remember this being excruciating since customers had to either buy a third-party SMB implementation like DAVE to get any value out of 10GbE connections, or hope that the applications they wanted to use over the network supported AFP.

Two and a half years ago I started working on the idea. It took me about a year to get the initial offering done and launched. The first calendar year in business was technically profitable. We ended up reinvesting the profits into new computers as well as paying all of the operational expenses upfront for the following year.

This year, it's tracking at roughly 5x of last year's revenue and we've also improved our margins by about 2x.

All said and done, we both put about an hour a day into it, five days a week, and one full weekend day a month.
While I agree that it'd be unusual for regular applications to have to resort to using SEGVs to implement features, low level systems code, especially VMs often do, for performance reasons. The Hotspot JVM for instance uses SEGVs to force a thread into a safepoint. The JIT inserts a read instruction, among other places, at backward branches, which tries to read from a page in memory called the polling page. Said page is mapped during normal operation of the application. When the VM needs to bring threads to a "safe point", say to perform a GC, it does so by unmapping the polling page. This causes each of the active threads to fault on the read and enter the SEGV handler, which notices that the faulting address falls within the polling page and executes appropriate "safe point" actions. Libc implementations use a similar technique to commit pages for a thread's stack lazily.
Wars are won by the countries that have the largest manufacturing capacity. This is what happened in World War 2 - the American and Russian manufacturing capacity overwhelmed that of the Germans and Japanese.

US defense doctrine mostly revolves around massive surprise first strikes on countries with limited ability to retaliate. Aircraft carriers are OK at this, if you want to, eg, bomb the crap out of Uruguay and don't have basing or transit rights nearby. That doesn't eliminate their vulnerabilities or the cost/benefit ratio, but having a few is handy if you're running a global empire.
That was true in 1973.
>Supercarriers are good value for money compared to fighter jets or submarines.

Good value compared to the F-35 perhaps, but not submarines. With China prioritizing carrier killer hypersonic and ballistic anti-ship missiles, if there's ever another war in the Pacific it will be a submarine war and "skimmers" (surface fleets) will go the way of the battleship in WWII.

Of course, doing it this way requires airborne refueling. Lots of airborne refueling. And if you thought the military paid a lot for jet fuel on the ground, wait until you see the markup for providing it in the air.

Normally for OLAP workflows you want your updates to either be idempotent or be tagged with an id that identifies the ETL job they generated then (very helpful for auditing and related functions), or have a kind of "build and swap" model to ensure availability. That, and performance concerns, mean a lot of OLAP servers consequently often have very limited support for transactions.
- Some people don't want to use the cloud to store their stuff for privacy / ethic / commercial / legal reasons.

- Some others have been burnt by the cloud failing them (corruption, data loss, copyright abuse, etc) and want an additional layer of security.

- There are many activities that are fully not covered by the cloud, such as 3D / video / music edition, art in general, programming (all those dev envs)...

- You may want / need to be able to be able to recover from a dataloss even if you are offline.

- Some file types don't match the cloud sync paradigm very well such as system and configurations, non online game saves and all stuff that needs to be at a precise place on the system.

- You got stuff you want to manipulate as files in dirs, not as an entry into app. Power users usually dislike the loss of control and freedom the apps imply.

- You like to have 3 backup because of the rule "one on site, on off site".

- You like to have all your backups at the same place.

- You have collections off files that just don't fit in the cloud, such as Tera of Videos.

- Sex tapes still need to be backed up, and you won't send that to your dropbox.

- Some people still have a shitty internet connections and can't sync reliably.

- It's less work to manage one backup than to setup all the parameters of all those apps to be sure they sync only what you want.

- You read the licence for some sync plateform and couldn't decently click "I accept".

- You got a NAS at home on which you plug your hard drive with the backups for the whole familly.
Those are absolute gold. I'm dying.
If you had a Green threaded program and one of the threads segfaulted. You would probably want to catch Segv and kill that thread. (Not killing the OS thread running it).

I've also seen is used to implement a distributed malloc. When a segfault occurs, the handler messages the programs peers asking if they have the data for that address. If so the peers sends the page and the handler maps in a new page for that address with the correct data in it. This is essentially implementing a page fault handler in user space. (For some network backed memory).
As a gentoo user I would say that the ABI break may still worth it if it can enable a lot of application continuing to work with just a recompile, right?

The controversial around this plan origins from people's inability to understand why such a fundamental library like gtk+ needs to have api break in such a high frequency, which would have a huge impact on the experience of app devs and users? The world has its intrinsic complications, but we all hope to avoid the casual one.
My extremely boiled down version of the MAD calculus was that one was only required to use nuclear weapons if one's capability to use sufficient nuclear weapons at some future point in time were being lost.

Hence the Cuban missile crisis being such a big deal.
> Am I wrong, or does this sound like GNOME's trying to be a more central runtime and subsume parts of a linux distro in full.

I don't think so, but GNOME does have a long history of diving down the stack and fixing problems when we run into them in lower levels. Of course, fixing long standing bugs that are often depended on corner-cases is certainly going to require additional engineering (the current tmux/screen situation comes to mind).

These things are largely a thankless task, and often a hostile process. Everyone seems to want their bug fixed, and nobody elses.

We very much need everyone interested in our shared commons to come to the table and discusses their needs. Otherwise it's not a commons.

That's an awesome website! I made it through the first three puzzles using F#. It's too bad that there's nothing like IntelliSense there, but you can use Visual Studio or www.tryfsharp.org for typing and CodinGame for testing. It looks neat, but might not be the best for learning a new language. You can see some clever solutions after solving a puzzle at least. How familiar are you with F# and functional programming?
Yep. First, take control of the distribution with the stores. Then take control with the paiement system. And now take control of the data input.

I feel that our fears are misplaced towards the wrong kind of voting machine, the one that collects the vote. The other kind, the one placing the vote, is far easier to manipulate. Facebook and Google have the mechanisms at their disposal to influence elections globally, and within a couple of election cycles could probably have the world's democracies more aligned to the interests of the US.
There's two really good approaches to this issue that I've learned. The one in the article is cognitive behavioral therapy (also, dialectical behavioral therapy, depending on the type of ruminations). Another approach that has been gaining more traction lately is mindfulness, which is basically using meditation to clear the mind of ruminating thoughts.

I've read bits of Feeling Good Handbook, which is an often recommended book for CBT, but I really felt like I connected more with the mindfulness approach. Mindfulness seems to work faster for me since I can use meditation to quickly clear out negative thoughts rather than trying to reason about them over time as with CBT. For mindfulness, I'd highly recommend Hardwiring Happiness, which goes into depth about using neuroplasticity (the ability to rewire the brain) to pave more positive neural paths using mindfulness techniques.

I'm sure both CBT and mindfulness are good approaches and can be used in conjunction, and there's likely other good alternatives to these as well. Ultimately the goal is to balance our evolved negativity bias with more positive thinking.
Even a small house has dozens of addresses. I checked and there is a different address in my kitchen than my bathroom, based on what3words website. If you find a certain combination offending, you can choose a different one, but on the other hand, on a single property there could be thousands of addresses, many of which funny or embarrassing.
Yes, exactly! That's why finding unknown particles is so interesting, as it can invalidate a given theory.
In-air refueling for intercontinental missions really only works for bombers. Having a fighter jock in-cockpit from the mainland US to Afghanistan is a complete non-starter, in terms of time, fuel cost, and amount of force projected over time or fuel-cost.
Modifying colours, sprites and sounds with the inline picker directly from code was my own design. And first appeared in Codea, as far as I'm aware.

I was definitely aware of, and inspired by Bret Victor's presentations (and certainly took some of his ideas for Codea). But those particular features were first in Codea before being replicated elsewhere.

I don't think this describes US defense doctrine. America has not launched a massive surprise first strike in a very long time (if ever). Iraq and Afghanistan knew the invasion was coming a long way off.

To me, US defense doctrine relies on 1) massive logistical power projection capability to counter any terrorism threat (real or perceived) anywhere on the globe, and 2) large conventional forces to counterbalance other large geopolitical rivals (Russia, China).

The B-2 bomber flew from Missouri, bombed the targets, landed on a British island in the Indian Ocean (Diego Garcia) to swap out pilots with the engines still running, then flew home. I'm sure it did aerial refueling along the way too. Basically, the only limit is sleepy pilots with sore butts.

At least one of the times, it visted an airshow along the way WHILE LOADED WITH BOMBS. This was the Air and Sea show, viewed from the beach in Fort Lauderdale, FL. I was there. For such a huge plane, it really is stunningly quiet. Most spectators didn't even notice until the plane was almost in front of the beach.

That is insightful and is the concept of an 'oracle'. There is a spectrum of techniques to address having a trusted, tamperproof oracle... Some better than others, eg checking on multiple public sources and triangulating their results to more robust voting systems. I haven't run across one that is perfect, though. I believe this will get addressed over time.
