Last time I tried to use PC-BSD, updates were painfully slow. It lead me to believe that there were not enough mirrors to serve packages. This was about 5-6 years ago.

How is PC-BSD doing nowadays? Is it really worth installing and using?
At least go with automagically, which I take to mean that the mechanism is programmed, but it took some arcane steps to get the damn thing working
Data generated on my phone belongs to me. By definition I cannot snoop on myself.
Actually, I don't think it's useful for that case specifically. My example would be switching between say reddit (very bright UI in default or common subreddit themes) and my IDEs (using white text over dark background) or imgur. The brightness increase is generally not noticeable, but the darkening of bright screens is absolutely obnoxious to me.

The only time I change my brightness is when my laptop is unplugged, or when I'm using it very late at night with no external light.

Others may prefer the Lumen way, but I wouldn't use it even if I were paid for.

What is it about communism that gets you so passionate?
I think the main reason is the exact same one why wireless energy transmission, instant cures for cancer, harebrained windpower schemes and so on get hyped. They all fall in the 'wouldn't it be great if this were real, therefore it must be real' category.

The number of solar cell 'breakthroughs' that you read about in a given year is >= 5 or so, but 3 years later nobody even remembers what they were about. Meanwhile, the real improvements are incremental and process cost related, and those improvements then get eaten up by tariffs.
It's funny that you mention this; I was about to type a similar comment! Thinking of the Fourier transform in terms of group theory seems like it would make it more complicated, but it actually makes the fundamental underlying concept simpler to understand.

One can perform the Fourier transform over an arbitrary, compact, non-commutative group G via f(g) = ∑ dᵏ⋅tr(f̂ᵏ⋅ρᵏ(g)), where the sum is from k = 0 to k = ∞, and k indexes the unitary, irreducible representations ρᵏ of G. dᵏ is the dimension of the kth representation. f̂ᵏ is the (matrix) Fourier coefficient of the kth irreducible representation and is computed as f̂ᵏ = ∫ f(g)⋅ρᵏ(g⁻¹) dμ(g), where μ is a Haar measure on G such that ∫ dμ(g) = 1. Note that since the group representations are unitary, ρᵏ(g⁻¹) = ρᵏ(g)ᴴ.

For commutative groups, all of the ρᵏ are one-dimensional, and so the sums and integrals are over scalar values. As you mention, for the circle group the above expression reduces to the "conventional" equation for the Fourier transform.

One can think of the group Fourier transform as decomposing a nonlinear function over a group into a linear combination of orthonormal functions such that cutting off the sum at the kth term provides the best MSE approximation to the function, i.e., f̂ᵏ = argmin ∫ [tr(ĉᵏ⋅ρᵏ(g)) - f(g)]² dμ(g), where the minimization is over ĉᵏ.

It's a long and arduous way from the lab to scale, and that's where the real hurdles are.
NTFS is a quite decent filesystem – even more so when it was introduced – and there is a lot to be said for having a one standard.

But would you really want to work with FAT or even exFAT as your main OS? It's about 20% slower and doesn't support ACLs or journaling, so you can lose data in a crash.

So filesystems matter and Linux still doesn't have a standard choice that's as good as other OSes had 5 years ago.
I'm in the UK and I forgot my credit card pin a few years back. Getting it sorted was as simple as phoning an automated phone number, entering my card details and they then posted a new pin to the address they had on file. I highly doubt there was a single human involved in the entire process, and it was probably just an add to their lost card procedures.
Are you under the impression you aren't wrong here?
How do I keep up with the web technology?
That's a good point, but I don't quite see how a strongly typed language fixes this issue. Could you elaborate on that?

If a strongly typed language receives data that is malformed, wouldn't the same problem arise? Isn't it always the case that you only have control over your own plumbing, and put up defenses to deal with external input?

(I have little experience with strongly typed languages, so I'm really interested to understand this a bit better)
I wonder how many techies could be silently MITM'd using the Charles root.
You can also display a list of all packages in the repository with

Better pipe it to less because there are over 25000 packages.
It's about how the FS does this stuff.

Take for instance the old FAT filesystem from MS-DOS.
If you use it on an SD/SSD (or even a USB key, that's more or less the same tech), you're likely to burn it fast, unless the device does "wear-leveling" internally. Journaling filesystems like Ext4 avoid that by make it so that they don't overwrite again and again the same sector even if the system overwrites the same file again and again.

Another aspect is resilience to system crashes or power outages. A sudden power outage can leave data half-written, including the file allocation table, which may result in severe data corruption. This is especially important for embedded devices, but not only. Some file systems are designed with that possibility in mind.

Then there are performance considerations. FAT had to group sectors into clusters because of the limited number of FAT entries, so a little 1Kb file would actually use something like 8Kb on the disk (Windows still display both sizes BTW). There's also caching policies. If you want something "crash-proof", you don't want any write cache. But if you want something fast, you want a big cache. some filesystems pick resilience, others pick performance, others let you set the parameters you want.
Yeah, I would - but I need dual external monitors and thunderbolt at the same time - forced to use the HDMI for one or buy a daisy chaining display. Sigh.
The extra features and differences in the ways the filesystems work make workflows practical which, while they might be theoretically possible on older one work, are too inefficient, or need task-specific userspace tooling to achieve.

Sparse files are one example. They weren't in the original NTFS, although I'm not sure when they were introduced. If your workflow involves lots of files that happen to be mostly zeroes (which is surprisingly common), then you can save a lot of space and time by simply not writing those zeroes to disk. You could achieve the same result by compressing the files, but then everything you might want to use to manipulate those files has to be aware of that compression, and you've got added CPU overhead you might not want.

Copy-on-write snapshots are another. If you've taken a point-in-time backup and want to update it, you can take a snapshot and just copy the changed files across. That's not the clever bit, you can obviously do that with things like rsync. The clever bit is that you can make both the snapshot and the new version fully working file trees, which any of your other tools will work transparently with, and still take advantage of the space saving of the shared, unchanged parts. Again, you could mimic this by either fully copying the file tree first (in which case no space saving, and extra time to duplicate the files) or with hardlinks (which rsync does, but especially on Windows not all tools work well with).

I think one of the reasons Unix users seem to be more interested in filesystems than Windows users is that it's far, far harder to develop a new filesystem (or new filesystem features) on Windows than elsewhere. The Linux kernel interface was specifically designed to make it easy to plug new filesystem implementations in, so people have. On Windows, you're pretty much reliant on MS doing it for you, so you might not even notice when significant new NTFS features go in which would be headline news in other ecosystems. NTFS doesn't have to compete, and its users are in a sense locked in.

Selling a package of bad loans by telling people they're good loans probably ought to be illegal though. The fact no one has been charged for doing so implies it isn't.
> You want to know who should go to jail? Anyone selling student loans right now.

The US government has essentially taken over the student-loan sector after the current administration decided that student loans had interest rates which were too high. (Perhaps they were high because they actually reflected some of the risk?)
I use FreeBSD, but if you think FreeBSD 4.x was great (related to the "everything after was bad" myth) and also if performance is your thing you should take a look at DragonFly BSD. Matthew Dillon who is largely responsible for FreeBSD works on this now.

But don't fear. People of both projects share a lot, just try different approaches. :)

SymGym: A full-body controller that adds resistance training to video games
Lol. That's nothing. Alone the German government spends more than that on publicly funded research, and there's about 200 countries more on the planet.

If companies would be so long-term focused, have you ever seen one lobby for higher corporate taxes in exchange for free public colleges and schools of highest quality, to ensure they get the best possibly educated workers? No? Exactly.

Have you seen companies spend their money with plans of how the world will look like in 50 or 100 years?

The most ambitious projects are from Musk, who is doing them with lots of subsidies because even he couldn't fund them otherwise, and they're about 5 years out in the future.

Have you seen a private company spend hundreds of billions every year into fusion research, because it might have results in decades?

Have you seen private companies focus on building transit networks and cities of the next century, slowly, part by part?

No.

The most ambitious private project ever planned was Walt Disneys epcot, but it was never built, and the name just reused for a themepark attraction.

Private companies have more available funds combined than most governments, yet still soend orders of magnitudes less on education for the next generation, on optimizing cities for the future.

You see companies actively destroy cities so they can get a little cheaper results for themselves this quarter.

Saying "private companies will be willing to pay twice the tax if they get more profit in 100 years" is just wrong, because no private company has ever planned like that, and will ever plan like that.

Except for the German Mittelstand and a handful of Japanese medium businesses, most comoanies haven't even existed for a century or longer.
Did someone just post this guys blog from 2013 up?
I am curious why the founder chose Zurich if they didn't know anybody there, which makes me think they are from somewhere else. Isn't Zurich particularly expensive? Wouldn't that be a detriment to a startup?

No, we are not. :-( For what it's worth I just tried to answer your question on the forums.

Reverse Engineering to copy is even considered a legal tool in the EU.

The argument of the European Court of Justice was that car manufacturers also buy cars from competitors, take them apart, and use the gained knowledge on their own products. The same happens in every industry — but in Software Engineering, it should now be forbidden? That's not possible.

If you want to protect yourself from that, publish your secret sauce and patent it.

This is, overall, a huge issue with much of the Haskell and pure functional programming community that puts people off - there's a minority of people who view what the vast, vast majority of the world's programmers do as beneath them, and the programmers in question as stupid. The community doesn't appear to do enough to weed these people out.

This is a beautifully designed page. The design is extremely effective at communicating the message. Well done to the creator.
Windows handles a lot of abstractions, to hide users from the nitty gritty details (OS X does the same thing). One of those things is hiding as much of the file system as possible.

Unix usually has users engaged at a lower level, adding a startup daemon means moving a file to a certain place. That shows that filesystems are much more the direct interface for the operating system.

Also, it is possible to have a Unix operating system, but have a completely different filesystem underneath. This is just not possible for Windows users. So there is no choice, so it is nothing Windows users think about in general.
Thanks! Was it this one?

Mathematical Notation Is Awful
wmccullough - you hang out on HN, you seem like you might be a smart person, let's all do a smart-person thing together to analyze this failure, instead of just blaming 'apathy' as the first thing that comes to mind and giving up (which would be a little ironic after all). We can brainstorm and write down a list of reasons, besides apathy, which could potentially explain to the lukewarm response to a petition like yours.

A few to get started:

- People might be concerned that a petition to charge unpopular people with a crime smacks of mob justice and kangaroo courts, the sort of thing you'd expect from an administration which rounds up and purges its political enemies (like, say, Turkey over the past few weeks).

- People may not feel sufficiently informed about the facts of the case to accuse the named individuals of wire fraud, and as such do not wish to make such serious allegations.

- Your particular petition (as an artifact of the website associated with your creation) may seem unlikely to succeed with only limited word-of-mouth marketing.
I have no idea what you mean by

TypeScript syntax is... Javascript (ES 2015 or above) - plus the optional type annotations and some few minor additions like "enum" or decorators. Things like "interface" don't compile to actual code, they only serve the compile-time type checks.
I find that, disappointingly, it often takes a complicated game mechanism for the game to keep being interesting over multiple play througs.

There are several games that are not too complicated, that also has a charm, but necessarily, more complicated mechanism makes for more variable play.
> I've worked for 5 years in a [small] company using FreeBSD as the main development platform, heavily hacking the TCP and network stack. We leached plenty, and didn't contribute a single line back !

I wanna challenge that with my own experience. Some companies give back, others don't. I don't think it's based on license, but on company culture.

If you look at GPL and similar, what you find is that people:

- Modify for their own internal stuff, so they don't give anything back (happens with every tool)

- Modify and even publish binaries, not contributing back, acting against the license

- Modify it and release it in a way to comply with the license, but basically rendering it unusable and where it would be easier to just start from scratch

- Modify it and sometimes even release it in an obfuscated manner, sometimes with comments stripped, etc.

Now, doesn't prove you wrong. However the sentence starts with "The BSD License Means", which simply hasn't proven as true. Other examples of BSD license are: clang, Ruby, nginx, Go, node.js, OpenSSH, ...

Also this would largely apply to other licenses, such as MIT, zlib, etc. as well.

The main reason for releasing or not releasing is what the company thinks about it. Maybe they believe competition steals it, maybe they think it will lower maintenance needed for the patchset, maybe they care about broad support for their stuff, maybe they care for people finding and fixing bugs, maybe they wanna show off, etc.

Look at FreeBSD Release Notes and Commits. It's filled with companies working on it.

There is no doubt that many people don't contribute back, but from my limited personal experience the main factor is the company and I don't know a single case where it was the license deciding that.

You could also have your personal Linux patchset. If you just use it on your servers there is NOTHING forcing you to to contribute a single line back.
If you look at where the actual political power lies in (say) the United States, it's clear that capitalism is both a form of government and an economic system too.

He was a very good friend of mine, but my negligence definitely took its toll.
One of the great things with Python is the stdlib with a lot of things provided for you. And one of the most terrible things in JS is the total lack of it. Rust choose a middle ground: provide a plateform by default, yet let you choose to not use it. Win win.

Well, Russia did eventually exhibit the Ivy Bells one. And Google staff did react to news that NSA was tapping its traffic. I'm not arguing that cables aren't being tapped. It just seems odd that none of the major cable operators have revealed anything. But as you say, there's arguably resistance to going public.

I wonder how many reported cable breaks were in fact screwed up tap installs ;)

I think I had already responded to that. The question is "on what level" and "what for". See my previous response.

I wrote "If you only want to place "the best" on average, going for "IQ" is enough. If you want to match each one (individually, not by global average - in which case after hiring by IQ you just place them anywhere) to the appropriate job it isn't."

It's the same as arguing for racial profiling because "it works". Well it does! If you don't care about people (individuals) but only about peoples.
