I agree. And I don't. Let me explain.

Discovering that our planet is not a special snowflake would be one of the most inspirational experiences I can dream of.

Discovering intelligent life, end more so!

Discovering super-intelligent life - think of the possibilities!

Then nearly every sci-fi movie flashes before my eyes, and I wonder: would they be as amazed at our presence in the universe? Or a pest, dirtying up a rocky ball of perfectly harvestable resources they intend to process for their alien armada?
tcaputi works with me at Datto. We use ZFS as our main file system for some 200+ PB of storage. It is a truly amazing file system, and this change, once merged, will add another layer of security for our customers. Great stuff!
Except that state and local governments are mostly more corrupt, more poorly run, and less well supervised by the voters.

sure we need a breakthrough, but we also need high demand to increase investments on research. Games and apps like PG help with that
Unfortunately, there is a hint as to how this has happened:

"This strategy is no longer practical: users have come to rely on backreferences for at least occasional use, and backreferences are part of the POSIX standard for regular expressions."

What better excuse is there for a poor implementation than standards compliance? In many ways, using regex with backtracking by default is like programming in Lisp without tail-call optimizations. If the POSIX standard is going to require backreferences, then it should also require a non-backtracking implementation for regular expressions without backreferences, just like the Scheme specification requires implementations to support tail-call optimization.

The comparison is valid because they both can create a quadratic runtime from a linear time algorithm.
By .? you mean .* ?
What are the few warts you encounter? I'm a Sysadmin/Engineer at a VFX company. We have hundreds of machines, render, and servers all running Linux but we're typically on ext4 with the notable exception of our Isilon cluster.

What does your environment look like?
The same is effectively true in the US. The folks you see getting "married" in church typically sign the government paperwork (the only part that matters) immediately before/afterward. The church stuff is just for show.
I love reading about the people of history, and most them are written through organization and analysis of letters and journals. Theodore Roosevelt was a prodigious writer (sending a few letters per week from your ranch in the Dakota to Europe was possible when you were a Roosevelt), and Ms. Kearns Goodwin[0] was able to pull together an incredible story of the lives of Presidents Roosevelt and Taft as told through their journals and letters, not just what was written about them in the newspapers.

What book will historians write about me from my git log (assuming historians figure out git's interface)?

[0]: The Bully Pulpit: Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, and the Golden Age of Journalism by Doris Kearns Goodwin

We're going to lose a lot of history when we can't read VCR tapes anymore.
What do you mean with everything except GitLab CE? We have EE options that are also closed source but for example GitLab Runner https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ci-multi-runner is open source.

I'm open to changing it to GitLab Inc. in the blog post. Where would you like to see that?

I think the feedback on HN has been largely positive, for example see most of the top comments on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12128546 In that comment section people rightly called us out for calling ourselves an open source company, hence this blog post.

On of the most widely known Free-with-a-capital-F alternatives to GitHub was Gitorious. They couldn't make the business model work and had to sell the company or close it. We ended up acquiring them for the name recognition https://about.gitlab.com/2015/03/03/gitlab-acquires-gitoriou...

It is very hard to make 100% open source work. We tried donations, consulting, and paid feature development but neither worked. That is why we introduced the Enterprise Edition. Since we introduced that we've been able to make the open source edition a lot better.

GitLab CE is Free-with-a-capital-F but if you prefer to use something that doesn't also have a proprietary edition consider using Gogs. Because of our Enterprise Edition income we're paying the only full time developer on Gogs.
The underlying assumption behind the whole process is that artificial parts are capable of replicating whatever the brain and body do to produce a human consciousness in all its details, that is including all spectrum of emotions.

Therefore yes, the cyborg part should be able to feel everything the fleshy part would, and the transition should be seemless.
I think finding ewoks in our solar system was completely ruled out already.

People can keep looking for them in exoplanets, but they won't dig those any time soon either. Those are two very different goals that just share the name of "finding ET life".

> Economic profit is not inefficiency, it doesn't matter regardless of whether the consumer or producer gets the surplus.

Economic profit is friction. If you replaced the profit-taking entity with one that performed the same function but took half as much profit then more surplus-generating transactions would take place.

Which means there is more work being done for the same result, because e.g. the higher price causes the customer to spend twelve hours fixing his own car instead of paying an experienced mechanic who could have done it in six.
Hmmm, good idea, I didn't think of analyzing the sound. You can pretty easily tell when the "boom" goal sound plays, but not who scored. Maybe you can tell the latter by reading the screen, though. I will have a play when I get back home, although I still need to find a quick method to take screenshots in Windows.
The pokestop images don't appear to be cached -- they come up blank when touched even though you've been there a dozen times before.

There's a good chance players will click on the same pokestops again and again, so caching even just the last 50 one would be helpful.
Actually we average less than 10% CPU on the web tier... so anything over that warrants investigation. Graph of CPU during today's issue at https://twitter.com/Nick_Craver/status/755793398544601088
Nice, I didn't know about that vim feature, thanks!
Maybe we could define the Kolmogorov complexity of a proof as the number of lines of code, PLUS the size of the proof that the proof-generating program halts.

Or the total number of lines of code in a sequence of programs, where the first program generates a proof of the original theorem, and every other program generates a proof that the preceding program halts, PLUS the size of a proof that the final program halts.
What why?

The SAT scores provided by the parent comment is official data. It is not "data" as you connote it to be. Just follow the Government stats linked he published.

The conclusion of the parent comment is not unwarranted. Tech companies pride themselves in hiring only the best and there is strong statistical correlation between SAT scores or any other standardization test vs academic/professional performance.

Tech companies want the best now, it doesn't matter if some group of people are best due to inherent awesomeness or lot of privilege or both or neither. Similarly it doesn't matter if some group of people are not among the best due to financial hardship in their families, racial biases against them.

In the current paradigm, tech companies should either hire the best or hire for diversity. They cannot do both until the underlying society has already changed.

Is pointing out racial/gender differences in SAT scores or IQ tests or in hiring at Facebook/Google/Amazon/Microsoft equivalent to being a racist?
Please let me know what's the best way to contact you, and discuss this further.thanks.
Many people in the world do not have trouble turning a camera on themselves, but this is solid advice for those with introspective tendencies.
Isn't the colon the directory separator character in HFS, akin to the unix '/' and windows '\'?
It's not so much that ZFS needs ECC anymore than any other filesystem, but rather when you do have RAM errors, you are going to find out very quickly.

Other filesystems will happily let you write corrupt data blocks...
NTFS has extended attributes.
But you are only using the zpool part (zvol), not the zfs part. Correct?
Just to add: there's also the Silver Screen edition [1], which is sourced from a single cleaned up 35mm film print, instead of from scenes spliced from various sources.

It's the House so it'll be a Congressperson not Senator.

Usually that's what these committees do - check on variety of issues that impact their voters back home. Sometimes it can be inane, sometimes not.

But usually nothing will result from this as no bills will be proposed till after the election.
To be fair, Flux != React. Plenty of people do fine with `setState` and passing down props and you can get quite far. Honestly, I am with you that Flux/Redux ecosystem seems quite overengineered not by their "leaders" and creators (who ask people to keep things simple!) but by regular users. A lot of people solving problems they don't have.
“Watching them on VHS is closer to the old drive-in or grindhouse theater, the way the director intended it to look.” Practically no director intended for the films to look terrible on VHS tapes, it was a limitation of the technology. I understand enjoying the look of the technology as a consumer and I doubt the producers cared for it.
What you could see from NY across the ocean
I guess this must have been the scenario. Perl also defaults to re.search but does not exhibit the pathological case, maybe because it knows it can't find a $ in a block of \s.
It seems like there should be a way to determine whether a regex can be compiled using the classic O(n) DFA algorithm or with whatever madness PCREs use to support backtracking and so on.

Anybody know if any regex engines attempt this?

Obviously you can still shoot yourself in the foot, but it's somewhat more difficult to do so in a situation like this where the regex in question "looks" cheap.
National Federation of the Blind Conference Signals Growing Excitement for Aira
People did not believe her. That's why she was fired. It was a he-said, she-said situation. Plenty of people didn't even believe Cosby's accusers until it was revealed that he himself had admitted to drugging and raping women.

Even if people do believe you, you're heaped with shame. Who wants to make an "international headline" out of something so painful and personal?
So I'm from Winnipeg. Not exactly a big city, and a very very sprawling one at that. There's maybe 15 or 20 high rise buildings downtown and the tallest one is (iirc) 32 storeys.

I live in SF now. I consider this a 'large metro area'.

Last year I spent a week in Vancouver and my mind was blown. There were condo towers _everywhere_ downtown. Meanwhile, the city population of Vancouver is SMALLER than Winnipeg, and the metro area hosts half the population of SF over a 5x larger land area (according to wikipedia). Yet there's condo towers all over the place there, and relatively few here. WTF.

That's a kind of result that you only get with 40+ years of anti-growth politics
"I had a problem, solved it with RegExp, now I have two problems"
That's a good point. I wasn't thinking of lab developed tests. I'm aware of them, but not of the specifics that the FDA expects in terms of safety & efficacy.
Garbage article by some author that just wants to be able to claim 'I told you so' or 'I said it first'. Given that the author runs a market research / consulting firm this is basically a shill piece to help drum up business.

Easy. I don't sit at a computer all day.

Personally, I find I'm a better coder when I get up and move around on a regular basis. I'll work for an hour or two, then go for a walk. Come back, work for another hour or two, go get some coffee from the coffee shop on the other end of campus. Rinse and repeat. Often times I'll be able to work out a problem or have a great idea while I'm walking.

There's this idea that to be a coder you have to be in front of a computer every waking moment, but the most successful programmers and engineers I know are the ones who know when to step away, who leave the work at work, and take care of themselves physically and emotionally. Otherwise, you're right, it's not sustainable at all.
I'd suggest LaserDisc is closer to the vinyl of video - maybe CED - but LaserDisc qualitywise was almost broadcast, and pushed the best the medium (NTSC) could do.
I didn't mean to imply that it's common, but sexual harassment is much more common. I was trying to make a point about women facing a whole class of issues that men don't face.
Twitch provides 'html5' streaming to HLS capable browsers for over a year now.
You are forgetting that people don't buy houses alone, those houses come with mortgages, also known as "renting money", throwing money way, you will never see that money again, period. Those houses also come with excise taxes, property taxes, insurance premiums, and agent fees.
Thanks for sharing your insights and resume. It's really refreshing to see you describe your work in previous positions in such a clear and meaningful way.

I guess the next step is to write a blog post to assimilate everything I learned today about setting up a 'dev' resume.
I am saying that I have been nerd sniped. Actually I tend do stay away from regexes.
Not on browsers that support HLS.
For people who already care enough about this there is Ragel.

Ask HN: Would a platform-indep devtool installer be useful? I'm building one
I had this idea where there is just one command to install something (e.g. docker) on any machine, be it Ubuntu or Fedora or Mac, for development purposes. More information in the readme:

https://github.com/rushiagr/xin

Do you think it is going to be useful?
There is a misunderstanding here -- NFA simulation is NOT backtracking. A NFA can be simulated in time LINEAR to the input length (holding the regex length as a constant). A DFA state corresponds to a set of NFA states. It is an additional optimization to convert NFA to DFA, but it just prevents doing repeated calculation -- it doesn't affect the computational complexity. Cox's articles address this and are quite lucid.

The problem is that the friedl O'Reilly book uses the terms NFA and DFA in a completely wrong and boneheaded way. I was confused by that book for awhile.
These are things that seem normal to me that a Windows user might also describe as "weird", just like the GP post described colons in filenames.
One that I've heard often repeated (paging user rsync) is that you should never fill your filesystems past 80% (or so). Things get slow otherwise.

Good its not just me. My minecraft logins are screwed up regularly too.
I also have had problems with logging into live.com based .edu account I got at college as well as my xbox live accounts. I know its not me messing up the passwords as I save them in keepass. Its like Microsoft can"t figure out how to maintain a simple login system. Its to the point where I just automaticly go to password recovery when I use a MS run service rather than seeing if it will take my password this week.
You might be interested in reading about the Curry Howard Correspondence.
From wikipedia: "In other words, the Curry–Howard correspondence is the observation that two families of formalisms that had seemed unrelated—namely, the proof systems on one hand, and the models of computation on the other—were, in the two examples considered by Curry and Howard, in fact structurally the same kind of objects." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curry%E2%80%93Howard_correspon...
Thanks for sharing. My current take on setting up my skills and experiences is to put them in context of my previous positions. Would that work for an ATS? (For a human, I'll probably highlight the words somehow)
Straight from ethereum.org:

"Ethereum is a decentralized platform that runs smart contracts: applications that run exactly as programmed without any possibility of downtime, censorship, fraud or third party interference."

Yup. I had a friend who always said that he wished housing prices kept going down so his property taxes would drop, and then went back up a month before he wanted to sell :-)

Key quote is "a possibility I abhor less or discount less than my colleague Judge Cedarbaum, our gender and national origins may and will make a difference in our judging."

I don't think it's fair to argue that gender/national origin can only make a positive impact on judgement, and not a negative impact as well.
I wonder if this developer found any way to monetize on the success of his app.
That sounds like good advice. It's also how I feel about software development in general. The tools are a means to an end. Control of the process/project is often much more of a challenge. Thanks!

It depends if you do those things legally.

There are also tons of things you can do without regulation like picking people up in your car/van or letting people sleep in a room in your house or cooking them a meal.
Ah yes, the beauty of hardware instead of dragging a slider to the right.

In all seriousness, I wish a lot more developers would spend some time to learn about hosting and its options, instead of heading straight for "the cloud" or some PaaS/IaaS. This doesn't mean a developer needs to be devops, but instead understand their options.

That's not to say that PaaS/IaaS doesn't have its place, because it certainly does. But the majority of developers would simply throw some thing on Heroku, and continue dragging that slider to the right until NewRelic stops freaking out.
Here's a previous discussion of the same person, but different source. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11589703

My comment at the time, and still stands:
It's also not 250k in cash. It includes stock which may or may not be worth what he thinks they are worth when he cashes out. My take away here is that base salary is comparable from company-to-company, but stock is given away like free lunch.
Also, it takes a certain personality to go out in public and brag about this kind of stuff. I think he's trying really hard to build his online persona. :)
With these considerations taken we can apply the same problems to people in industrial scale manufacturing that have typically managed many organizations that are now in charge of software projects. Then comes no real effective incentive structure with how most federal contracts are written despite billions spent on lawyers to protect the government and to get the most for the government's dollars supposedly. I've seen far too many projects with clearly the most talented and well-managed contractors getting tossed for actually finishing their deliverables while those that didn't get through 40%+ got renewed because they were just too critical to the political success of the greater project. And they'll continue to cite the project as past performance and renewal as an indicator of competence.

The fact there's so much opposition to USDS and 18F that's greater than any other group ever is the best indicator that the fat, bloated Beltway bandits are worried about their easy road to retirement. This isn't to say everyone's lazy - far from it. But government contracting has been largely insulated from the realities of most commercial enterprises through the politicized veil of "protecting veterans" and "defending the country" and for every legitimate, honest worker there's at least two that just want a cushy 9-5 for 35 years.
Lighter Capital takes a different approach to startup financing
Kudos for thinking clearly under tremendous pressure. A production server down is always a highly stressful situation.

If time pressure is not a factor and the production server has the VStudio or WinDbg installed, attaching the debugger to the process can see the data related to the post. But the symbol file and source files might be needed; it's just more hassle to set up. For stressful situation, simple steps and simple tools are more useful. Whatever works.
No, no, no. It's just that the level of hate between Protestants and Catholics is obviously much less than it is from crazy Muslims onto "infidels". The crazy Muslims hate "infidels" and don't repent.

Repenting is another important factor. Repenting stops hate from overflowing. When Muslims start killing, is when they're convicted in their hatred and stop repenting.

When Americans or someone goes too far, yeah, maybe they throw a fist or something, but then they realize they're out of line and repent.
