In the first line you mounted your whole Cloud Drive at /mnt/amazon_real. On the 3rd line you upload from /mnt/cache to /TV/.

Do you actually have a subset of the cloud drive mounted at /mnt/amazon_real? I tried to do that some time ago with acd_cli but wasn't able.

We actually offer a pretty robust LDAP/AD integration on Userify, but I still recommend against it, especially since it's not just painful but adding LDAP/AD decreases overall security. I used to like LDAP in the early 00's, but now I just think it's anything but lightweight.. as well as insecure and obsolete.

Actually, I'm willing to believe that a large cable monopoly's IT department is so incompetent and poorly run, that implementing this successfully is not likely for them.

That's not a valid excuse though. A landlord ordered legally to fix a broken heater cannot avoid their duty by complaining "But I'm so BAD at working with heaters! They're confusing!"

We mainly use the VM to provide a well-known and tested environment for Kubernetes to run in. Running inside a Docker container on Linux would have similar benefits, but there are still a few bugs with running some of the Kubernetes components inside containers.

We'll probably add a "native" option for Linux at some point. See this issue: https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/issues/261 for a little more conversation.

I can understand why Chelsea Manning would want to do that, given the insane sentence. Essentially they're saying that Chelsea is more dangerous than two murderers, when in reality she just embarrassed powerful people and the US internationally. Plus the ill treatment they have received[0] has to have an impact on mental health.

Best case scenario, someone in the White House eventually releases her. But I wouldn't expect that to be Obama or Clinton who she has embarrassed, instead it may be whoever follows Clinton in 2024.

PS - Just to be clear, I never said Chelsea Manning doesn't deserve ANY jail time. I am just saying that 35 years is bonkers. It should have been 1-5 with a dishonorable discharge and banned from access to classified information.

It's funny the koolaid extends to hackernews.

A 'big corp' like Google uses fairly nefarious practices, makes it nary impossible to 'opt out' of their 'life tracking' measures, and uses that information for their own profit whilst at the same time 'virtue signalling' and extolling some kind of moral premise ... and you buy it?

In over a decade, no new product has been able to reverse the trend of career dissatisfaction. Enter Apt™ Careers.

Apt Careers is the only career discovery program based on brain science. It is the new standard in career discovery.

Authored by the renowned pioneer in human instincts, Kathy Kolbe, it incorporates her proven valid and reliable discoveries of natural, or conative abilities. She has brought to modern times the term conation, used by the ancient philosophers to describe what people actually do – which overrides what they want to do or have been taught to do.

Apt Careers is the only career assessment that can predict how well people of all ages are likely to perform in a wide variety of careers. That’s because of Kolbe’s unique algorithms. She has personally assessed all 1200+ careers featured in Apt Careers and used the data from her brain research protocols to provide the profound impact that comes from learning the truth.

The retail value of Apt Careers is $125. It is free to you for a limited time!

Global Internet Magna Carta – Your Comments Please
I think everything on this page is about encouraging reasoning rather than just collecting facts. If someone takes each one as a truism and blindly follows it, then yes, it would turn these mechanisms (which are supposed to help us identify and fight our own cognitive biases) into just another form of cognitive bias. That's why they're not laws, they're just handy patterns to help us reason about things that we see every day.

I'm not sure what you mean by using them as tools to avoid reasoning- they are explicitly meant to help with reasoning. I don't know what sort of reasoning could be done without incorporating any sort of logical frameworks at all. That's all this stuff is, tools to aid reasoning by identifying common patterns and antipatterns in thoughts and perceptions about the world around us. Anyone who treats these ideas as absolute laws rather than occasionally (frequently) useful abstractions is doing it wrong.

There are a couple of high-performance, low-latency lisps, either with a low-latency GC or refcounted or compiling to C as Carp does.

ECL (also typed), Vicare, Larceny, Ypsilon, the new guile, Gambit-C, Chicken, Chez, Bigloo, stalin, Corman CL, or fast typed CL: sbcl, franz, lispworks and few more.

Or the ones compiling to LLVM or JVM or .NET. Most prominent Clojure with a very unlispy syntax.
I find this kind of reaction strange.

Of course major restructuring like this will be ground shaking, that's to be expected. The opposite is slow stagnation and continually chipping away at the status quo with slow progress.

I just expect a different reaction from HN.

Especially with a startup crowd. You'd think we would be all for this kind of innovation, this "dangerous" going against the grain, and separation from conglomeration.
> - The built-in rule for [hidden] { display: none; } is often of no help as another css class may set display to something else, so from the developer's perspective the "hidden" attribute seems to be broken.

Good question. The book's blurb says he is a science writer; I don't know how rich he is.

I guess it's easier to point out the flaws in linear, equilibrium models, and to point to better results in, say, meteorology, from using better models based on different assumptions, than it is to construct and validate completely new economic models.
Richard Clarke spoke out about it, and was promptly sacked.
Java doesn't "want" you to use ArrayList<Integer>, that's merely more convenient if you need a dynamically sized array and don't want to do the resize yourself.

But the JVM folks are adding support for ArrayList<int> to the language, with the efficiency you'd expect from it.

Why Completely Trusting Enterprise Software Review Sites Is a Bad Idea (2014)
The problem with Java is that most things are a pointer, which means the GC has to deal with it. Go on the other hand allows the user to specify which things should be a value and what should be a pointer, which significantly decreases stress on the GC.

C# has something called value types, and while this helps (and Java is working on implementing something similar for Java 10) it's not as flexible as Go, where users can decide this at whim instead of specifying it in the type.
Oddly so is mine, although I only caught the tail end of CL popularity in the 90s.

Being underwhelmed by software is quite common in the trade. Sometimes at the day job I contemplate why my embedded Linux system is able to run at 32 megs of memory and in 8Mb of flash footprint, while the "off the shelf" Linux server box to the side of it eats 600Mb RAM just to idle in one console. It almost feels as we are forced for the lack of depth in systems development to push into the width just to keep the machines busy.

It's not perfect. Azul's C4 does a lot of work in read barriers, so code that looks intuitively like it should be fast can end up causing "read storms" that bog the code down.

C4 never pauses, and that's impressive. But there's no free lunch. The work the GC would do when the app is paused is sometimes being simply done by the app threads instead.

The argument that we are machines made of meat and so machines made of any other substance may be conscious too is a remarkably weak one to me (a lay person, not a consciousness or AI researcher).

Isn't any arbitrary region in space a machine? Because it has physical inputs, physical outputs can some kind of physical computation within? An elevator is a machine but so is the building with many elevators. A city with many buildings, cars, people etc. (all the physical space and things in it withing the bounds of the city) is another machine. Is a city conscious? Clearly it is more complex than an individual brain?

From a slightly different angle - why does my consciousness stop at the limits of my body while the physical chain of reactions extends smoothly well beyond it, and infinitely into the universe?

That's not even it, it could be for a gift (or crossdressing?). It's more that it's unlikely that you're going to search for bras while searching for programming knowledge, unless you belong to a subset of people that really like to multitask or are very easily distracted (and this subset makes the problem harder).
They're using an analogy to make a point regarding intent behind design, and are not trying to trivialize the homeless problem. There's no need to split hairs.

Eh, HotSpot can handle heaps of hundreds of gigabytes with pause times in the 100msec range. It takes a bit of tuning but can be done with the basic open source code.
Where's the benefit here if I type 192.168.1.1 or some domain name when connecting the router with the network cable ? Fanciness ? I mean the IP is even less characters to type.

Ease of configuration ? Because even if I type the domain name, my connection has to be in the same subnet already manually or via DHCP, since the domain resolves 192.168.1.1.

I guess some manager scored a big raise for this gem.

IMO, the change has to come from the grant financiers, and a case can be made that they get a greater more bang for their buck by adding requirements such as pre-registration, open data publishing (so long as they don't want to keep the data proprietary, of course), and publishing guaranteed regardless of outcome. The fruits of what they purchased can be of more use to the field in this manner, and even they themselves may find they spend less money if the 'failures' are documented in such a way that they don't inadvertently repeatedly fund them due to the fact that the initial results were hidden away in a filing cabinet.

I think the same case could be made for placing more emphasis on funding replication -- instead of thinking 'we learned it, why revisit it?', you're checking if it's actually valuable information worth spending more on, or just a fluke.

The comparisons between Bitcoin and IP as in the internet are always infuriating because of their insulting simplicity and ignorance.

Bitcoin and block-chain technology may well prove to be analogous to Gopher, an experiment that seemed like a good idea at the time but was ultimately crushed by a superior idea, the then World Wide Web with HTTP. It's too early to say.

The other thing to keep in mind is IP is a language, it's not a currency. IP addresses might be a sort of currency today, but during the explosive growth of the internet these were pretty much free, all you had to do was ask and you were given thousands of them.

Imagine what the internet would be like if you had to "mine" IP addresses. If a handful of early adopters controlled 80% of the IP space, if they were the ones now charging rent to those seeking to utilize that space, would there be such rapid uptake? Would you be happy leasing your IPs from some third party who was simply fortunate enough to be there first and stake a claim?

The thing that's made the internet so prevalent, so pervasive, is how little friction there is on using it. In many cases using IP was significantly less fuss than going with competing protocols. Bitcoin is not always easier than the alternative, it's not always better, it's just different and that's not necessarily a good thing.

Comcast did a deal with Tivo to give them the interface that my Tivo uses. I have a multicard, 4 channels at once of recording without the settop box. My HDMI TV has multiple inputs for DVD/Bluray players, RaspPi with playback or whatever device I want.

So other than the On-demand stuff it's all doable with today's technology. They just don't want to make changes to their billing system to track it. Which is pretty surprising since they have a really nice service architecture bus in production that makes it easy to make these kinds of changes
That's an average. This is not taking into account VAT and the other gazillions insults (also known as public services) that are forced on you because state monopoly, healthcare which is mandatory and public here and is more like a tax than insurance (you don't pay according to risk but according to how much your earn, and you still need a private insurance on top), and then there are of course tariffs that helps colluding and failing industries, employment taxes that makes up already 50% of your salary pre-income tax, ridiculous gazillions regulations that make everything more expensive and so on and so forth.
Whoops. The truth is I have 2 cron jobs, one running on the hour to upload TV, and another 30 after to upload movies. I meant to simplify it to just syncing the entire thing for the post, but I neglected to do that properly.

I have not looked into only mounting a section of it.
Because the C++/Rust way of memory management is better for some things, but worse for others. I've worked with several different projects during my career, and not once did we require manual memory management. A GC based language was simpler for us to use, and the few times we had problems with GC, they were possible to overcome by writing better code, as is the case with any language.

This is not to say that no project benefits heavily form C++/Rust. But I would argue that for many, GC is the best trade off.
Memory usage in Java can be misleading. Some versions of the JVM will happily take ALL your free RAM if it thinks it's sitting there unused because there's a RAM/CPU tradeoff in garbage collected systems: the less frequently you GC the less CPU time you burn and the faster the app runs.

If your machine actually does have gobs of free RAM, it therefore makes sense for Java to use all of it.

If your machine has gobs of free RAM you were planning on using for something else after your Java app started, well, that's something the JVM couldn't know. Some versions (on Windows?) monitor free memory and adjust down its own usage if you seem to be consuming the headroom, but on other platforms, you just have to tell Java it's got a limit and can't go beyond it.
I agree with most of your points, but disagree strenuously with this one:

It's 2016, and these dead, flat, static PDFs are functionally identical to the paper they replaced!

There's a lot of value in static PDFs and how we format documents for publication. $CURRENT_YEAR doesn't invalidate good ideas from ($CURRENT_YEAR-n).

Just in terms of technology, static PDFs are:

- Easily distributed.
- Easily archived.
- Readable forever, even as platforms change incompatibly.
- Readable on any device.

20 years from now, do you really want to have to run an old browser, or debug shoddy JS/HTML/whatever, just to read a paper from $CURRENT_YEAR-20?
According to the article they chose it because of "Its simplicity, safety, performance, and readability" perhaps it has more in some of those than Erlang does/did... ?
Despite some saying this is not a Kalman filter I'd argue that it is, although a quite simple stationary Kalman filter. I'm not saying calling it a low-pass filter or IIR is wrong, but that there is not a clear distinction in this case. Hear me out:

The general model for a linear system is:
x(t+1) = A * x(t) + B * u(t) + v1(t)
y(t) = C * x(t) + D * u(t) + v2(t)

Generally, x (state), y (measurement) and u (input) are vectors, A,B,C,D matrices and v1, v2 noise.

The optimal Kalman estimate for this system is:
xhat(t+1|t) = A * xhat(t|t-1) + B * u(t) + K(y(t) - C * x(t|t-1)

where K is the Kalman gain which might be calculated for each update step or in the case of a stationary Kalman filter will be calculated to a fix value. The idea behind using a fix value is that generally, K(t) will converge as the filter runs.

Now say the state x is scalar, the model is that x is always the same and unaffected by input (A = 1, B = 0) and that we measure the state directly and that also the measurement is unaffected by input (C = 1, D = 0). Let's also say K = 0.04, it might well be.

Then:
xhat(t+1|t) = xhat(t|t-1) + 0.04 * (y(t) - x(t|t-1) <=> display_temp += 0.04 * (adc_temp - display_temp)

Thus for the model that
1) the oven temperature is constant and
2) unaffected (at least not quickly affected) by the temperature control and
3) that we measure temperature directly and
4) the assumption that the stationary Kalman gain is 0.04,
this is a (stationary) Kalman filter.
I'm not understanding your comment. A QAM tuner provides the modulating/decoding of the RF signal over coax. If they are moving away from this then fine but why does that design have "inherent assumptions" that "they own and control the network end-points that provide the video to the display device."? So they can continue to charge people $10 a month in perpetuity? That's about the only reason for that assumption. I certainly can't think of a technical one.

Its hard to read a comment like this and find it any way credible:

"Comcast argued that "running our network code directly on third-party devices without our application [is] not feasible."

Running our "network code"? What? What does even mean? Thats like saying the "system is down." It's the kind of crap that customer service reps say to people when they have no clue why something isn't functioning.

The cable companies have zero credibility at this point. This is about continuing to gouge people that it that have no other choice in getting bits delivered into their home in 2016.
