This is an awesome and useful feature, but it isn't quite the same as monitor mode packet capturing. The FFT won't do much to help you figure out whether the interference is coming from a really high traffic volume or just a talkative 802.11b IoT PoS.

Omnigraffle annoyance: it can't load from and save to graphviz dot notation (or even a subset of it). All of the functionality is in the software, but not exposed to the user, and I assume it's a conscious decision by them to lock you into their file format. I evaluate each few years, find the same thing, and then move on. (Would love to be corrected)

That would essentially mean two nations agreeing to resolve their intractable diplomatic differences with trial-by-combat, and to abide by the results. It's a lovely notion, but in practice you can't really force a nation to change policy without a palpable threat to their population and/or infrastructure.

So it boils down not to robots killing robots, but robots killing humans, while other robots try to stop them.

I have to admit that is the first use case that I thought of when I read this. No more messing around with AMIs and launch config whenever an update is deployed.

You bring up a good point on the EFS being a point of failure though. What use case do you think the EFS is good for? It seems like even worse for data storage since IO can easily become a bottleneck.
but thats the same with any component. how is that different to SNS et al?

NFS is actually multi homed, so there is no real reason why it can't be HA/clustered, apart from the block store and the underlying file system.

The data do not indicate that we experience the same need to work at max energy for brief periods of time as hunter/gatheres. Besides running away from predators in most efficient way, consider throwing оf javelins or stones during hunting. It requires a very precise muscle work at max energy after intense brain activity of target selection. Modern day life does not involve that, yet evolutionary this combination of brain/muscle work at peak could be advantageous.

My litmus test for being a writer is fairly simple. How many completed items do you have lying around. I don't care if they are published but they need to be finished (as in a cohesive and typed out whole).

It's basically the same as being a programmer except programmers tend to self publish their work rather quickly. I feel like writers should generally do the same (and solicit feedback).
Thanks! Great suggestion. I've actually been running Cat 6/7 all over the place to mitigate my "problem." I'll check out your suggestion.
That's not what the OP is getting at. He's referring to the common file organization of projects where, for example, in MVC, the models are located under a models directory, the controllers under a controllers directory and the views under a views directory.

If I want to understand what the code does, looking over the code and seeing just a bunch of models or controllers is next to useless. Instead, the code should be organized semantically by the domains of the application. I should be able to look over the various directories and files and have a high level understanding of what the application does, not that it's just another MVC application.

This semantic organization also promotes encapsulation since only things related to each other are near each other, instead of scattered throughout many directories organized by arbitrary architectural concepts.
They should run the same in theory - but they don't in practice. It is typically more noticeable on older hardware, on my current rig I probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Maybe that's changed in more recent versions, but I no longer have my older rig to do comparison tests.

Also what gcb0 said is true as well - but not everyone needs subtitles for their videos. My 'expertise' in media player selection is based on getting the absolute best quality playback for my anime.

My primary reasons for switching from VLC were not due to efficiency - but due to shadow being washed out and the NVidia color issues. Both "fixable" in that you can "improve them" but not quite "remove them entirely". (Both issues are easily Google-able as well)

There are many, many, many image comparisons between VLC and MPC-HC (and sometimes MPV for Linux). The one thing in common is that MPC and MPV both look very similar while VLC always has a washed out look and occasionally faulty colors (by default). Unfortunately, many people are terrible at screenshotting the exact same frame but even from similar frames one can pretty easily spot the differences between VLC and MPC-HC.

Example of the shadow/color differences:

Side-by-side w/ CPU usage difference: http://i.imgur.com/xJnrS2f.jpg

E:

Some people prefer the washed-out look finding it more aesthetically pleasing. That's fine and I'm cool with that, long as I don't need to watch anything with them. Many people also "don't give a shit" because they'd never know the difference without seeing the side-by-side or comparison of the frame. That's fine too - but not something I personally agree with. :) I prefer better quality even if I have to looking for it.
At best, the jury is still out. We will be able to consider the question rationally in, perhaps, a decade.

NONE of the Brexiters had any planning in place to get us from in EU to out. I honestly don't believe any of them even expected to win. The only politician with a plan of any form was Nicola Sturgeon of the SNP.

Britain is now experiencing overt racism like the last 40 years of progress didn't happen. Brexit has been taken as carte blanche to be proudly racist. I have witnessed this myself, last week, in an area where I'd have expected it to be non-existent.

The few politicians speaking are all seeking EU-lite, and it seems, wishing to rejoin as much of the single market (with associated costs) as possible.

By most measures it looks like it's shaping up to be a disaster for Britain.

Might be something in her personal life. There usually isn't much insight you can get into that domain, but keep it in mind.

Does "the board is stakeholders of our service" mean your "startup like thing" was sort of acquired? As in, are you owned/controlled by other companies that use your product/service? If so, then they might not care what the CEO's vision is. They might be thinking of y'all as just a subsidiary beholden to their bottom line, not your own. They might not even be particularly interested in seeing the value of their equity increase.

I believe there's no such thing as a team without a leader. If you lose your leader you don't have a team anymore. It isn't really possible for a committee to serve as a leader. So if you want to preserve your team you need to either get your existing leader back into the right head space or get a new leader (basically what jacquesm said). Maybe ask your team which they prefer. If consensus is to fix the current CEO then schedule an intervention. if consensus is to get a new CEO then ask them to step down or go to the board.

If y'all want to try to help your current CEO you might reach out to other CEOs who have had a hard time dealing with an overreaching board. Maybe she just needs to talk to someone who's been there before.

Ask HN: Did anyone's life ever gotten more comfortable after accepting funding?
We have an unfair advantage in a fast growing market and could now get outside capital for this. As an alternative we could just keep rolling with our little team, scale like we already do and make good money and don't blow this whole thing up like our investors would want us to do. We will be financially independent either way in a few months. We just want to be happy and don't have a more busy life. We don't have experience with outside investments. Is a scenario in which we use the funding to hire a great team that more or less replaces us unrealistic? Sure, its nice to see our project at the next level but only if this doesn't make life even more busy.
To store small files (10 to 1000 KB) uploaded by users in a web app, what is the best tool, S3 or EFS?

1999 I've been to Transylvania to watch a solar eclipse. This was ten years after the fall of Ceausescu, so I can only report about nature and cultural heritage. The Carpathian mountains are extremely awesome. If you enjoy nature and like hiking, go for it!

Also the old cities are nice. The images do seem familiar. However beware from the ugly Sowjet-like apartment blocks in the outskirts and the old run down factories belching black smoke, but a lot must have changed in the last seventeen years.

The European Union might have feet of clay but one has to admit that they did a lot of good work in Romania, of which 1999 I already could see the foundations being laid.

That's because you're not fully using your brain, as they used to say in those "pop science" pieces.

Your politicians voted that money in exchange for a few things, such as acquiescence to some political scheme or another, retirement of a fishing fleet or two, 'normalization' of the size of marketeable pears and melons, an easy market for cars, wind turbines and submarines, etc, etc. Let's not even mention the really profitable stuff, such as bank loans and Mickey Mouse rights.

Plus, entirely for free, you get an outraged sense of moral superiority over those worthless moochers, which you get to call PIGS in print with no consequences whatsoever, as strange as that may sound.

It's a good deal, as the USA have found out in their version of it.

I'm at a very early stage. I'm having my second meeting with the Ideas Guy today. I don't have any bottlenecks yet, but I want to be prepared when we get there.

Basically, I want to have the biggest chance that we succeed, and I don't want to be screwed out of my share if we do succeed. I think the Ideas Guy is reliable, but I barely know him, and I'd rather be safe than sorry. Especially if we get more people on board.
This might not work for you, but the way I get battery indicator is to incorporate it into my tmux console. I always run a tmux on the first workspace, and can go there for time and battery. Each device is different, but here's battery code that works on my T460s (http://songseed.org/exhibit/20160629/thinkpad.battery.script)

A benefit of this is that it doesn't matter what window manager you use.
So excited we live in the future. I talked about this idea with so many people when we first put on the Occulus prototypes so long ago. It's awesome to see someone putting in the effort to make it a reality. Can't wait to see this application of VR develop. After all, the foundational elements could also be used in an AR type setup if that technology approves more human-centric in the long term. Especially in the workplace, having your field-of-view completely covered by a screen is probably not the most socially ideal.
I would love to try something like this.

My use case: I work at a company with a lot of engineers working on our website. Most of our important pages have lots of code from different teams loaded on them - arguably, far too much. We are trying to make it so that different teams code runs parallelized, so failures and slowness are completely independent- but this only makes sense on the back end; in js, it's far too easy for a few slow components to slow down our whole website.
I'm going to agree, but sometimes it's a tough question what action is more environmentally conscious. While you could cache some value on a server to reduce the energy consumption of compute, requests to the server for the cached data will drive up the energy consumption of the network.

I really do believe that the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

I think the leftists for the past 60 years have acted with good intentions; they think that they have been doing the right thing(s). However, they seem to do the same thing time and time again. Namely that they pretend to know all the variables regardless of context and argue that they are able to account for all variance via central planning. That is what Hayek called "pretense of knowledge". Nassim Taleb's Black Swan talks about that in depth. The failure to account for the "emotional" variable is what this article is about!

In fact, that is the reason Econ is not a science. It is basically impossible to create rigid future-predicting economic models. Physics can do that because you can isolate and probe, while econ is far more complex of a structure where isolation of a variable is basically impossible. Even if you managed to do that it wouldn't matter because variables in aggregate tend to give rise to emergent properties.

I think of economics as an NP-complete problem (perhaps even EXP). It might be possible to create statistical models that are "good enough" in most cases. But they are not deterministic or efficient. Therefor, I don't believe that centralized planning will ever work on these large scales.

Out of band big data/data pipeline processing. Something where you want an easy way to sync your data but can handle extended downtimes.
It would be nice to read some books like Language Implementation Patterns for deeper thoughts after following some easy tutorials. That book is good for designing both DSL and general-purpose languages and explains multiple patterns with pros and cons, tradeoffs, etc.

And also, it's better to check out some metasyntax notations, e.g. EBNF https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_Backus%E2%80%93Naur_F...

This looks similar to mpd, which I like more since it exposes a network API. With the right app, I can control music playback from my phone if my PC is off (with mpd running on the homeserver).
Indeed. We have completely replaced all queues with Kafka. In fact, I'm not sure what it would take for us to even try anything else at this point.
The big issue with the done signal you're referring to is how do you generate it? In other words, how does the circuit "know" that it's finished execution?

There are several options. One is to simply add a delay element to each circuit that is matched to the circuit's delay. Another is to use a circuit-level handshaking protocol, similar to that used in TCP.

It's not an easy thing to tackle and leads to performance loss in the long run relative to a synchronous design.
> how is that different to SNS et al?

It's not really, and you should write your software to account for SNS outages, etc.

That being said, this is presented as NFS. NFS has a nasty habit of freezing your system if it breaks. If SNS breaks, you get errors and timeouts in your logs, but can keep going. If NFS breaks, you pretty much just sit around waiting for it to come back.
She suggests the setting up of a national commission to look into it:

I'm not sure I agree. Customers like to know why it doesn't work. If it was a physical machine, they would have said something like "the disks are broken and we are replacing them". But it is cloud and they said "Google persistent disks are currently unavailable and they are fixing it".

Can you give me some of those historical precedents? They must have happened in a market society, otherwise its not valid as a comparison.

For most resources it seem that they dont run out and the prices dont skyrocket in the apocalyptical. I have seen books from pre-1900 that were warning of the eminent "peak coal".

Their is an issue if their are no useful property rights like you can see in whales and you race to the bottum.
This looks great, but I hope they don't fall into the "manual window placement" usability trap.

There is a reason the "old-fashioned" tiling window managers are still popular. And today most applications are internally structured via tiling/splitters and tabs, rather than individual window placement. Let alone that all attempts for a "web desktop" never took off.

Alas, I don't know any authorative sources for that, but I bet that manual window placement (and most of the time, also overlapping windows) is a well-known anti-pattern of user interface design.
I feel similar - being used to the distraction of switching between multiple tabs while waiting for a page to load, while a video plays on the second monitor, scanning the feeds on my phone on breaks. I can't focus to read a book and a movie takes days to watch. But it's not the internet.

I used the internet for years without any attention-span decrease or distraction features. When it was gopher, telnet, IRC, email, and BBSes etc. running on a DOS PC with no multitasking. (OK, I cheated, I had a TSR that let me switch between up to 3 programs, but RAM was limited and you were only using one at a time.)

It's the combination of multitasking OSes, putting a lot more things on the screen(s), and ubiquitous pocket supercomputers. That's led us to a new standard way of living where we're always trying to do several things at once and expecting context switches every few seconds. That makes it hard to do anything deeply and fully, or focus on anything for a lengthy time; it feels unnatural.
Finally! My client was unable to use AWS for lacking of real POSIX fs.
I was impressed they switched to C11, since that's pretty cutting edge for a large C project.

This commit[1] however shows that what they're actually using is GNU11, i.e. C11 with GNU extensions, since they seem to rely on those. I double-checked the most recent revision of the configure.ac file[2] and it seems to be still at GNU11.

Not complaining, but I think the changelog entry ("Changed the C standard from C99 to C11") is ever so slightly misleading.

Obviously this takes the concept and advances it somewhat, but overall I'm glad to see this sort of interface returning. It was a fantastic experiment and worked surprisingly well.
As far as career advancement goes, I don't work in academia, but I would be more confident walking into an interview with a list of difficult and impactful experiments finding no effects than having even one highly cited paper in a prestigious journal that was later debunked by a couple of grad students in a null-result journal. The latter prospect should also frighten journal publishers into taking null results more seriously (especially if they published the earlier work), but only if the threat is real.
A benefit (usually) of S3 is that since it's operating over HTTP, you don't need any additional things to make the files accessible. In case of EFS you would need a HTTP server running. Maintaining a HTTP work is extra work, extra configuration but might give you additional benefits.

Thinking of small file size, EFS would probably work a bit faster (since you'd have some HTTP overhead) but I doubt that it would be significant, unless users upload hundreds of files at once.

EFS advantage in this case would be that you'd no longer need a S3 library to do it, since it's POSIX compliant. Given that most languages have simple, solid libraries for interacting with it, it's not a huge difference but still :)

All in all, I'd go with S3 unless there are some special requirements that are hard to satisfy using current S3 features.
