Another anecdotal story about someone's sister's friend's aunt's barber who shot-up marijuana and now is in hospital with 6 tubes running out of every orifice.

Let me tell you the truth... addiction is not about the drug. Addiction is about the environment. So if these students were apathetic, it was because they had deeper-rooted issues that they were attempting to mask via some drug.

And cannabis is not physically addictive. Psychologically addictive as I pointed-out but not physically. Even coffee is more addicting.
The amount and type of work that would be required to take a 6disk to a 7disk (in place) is quite hard. If you can take some downtime, you'd really want to snap, send to a new larger system, go down, do the final copy, and come back up. That or work with more vdevs, but then you might have unevenly striped data.

And there are filesystems that are expandable and meet your other requirements, they just aren't cheap. IBM GPFS is one I work with regularly.
Given the utterly disjoint and aimless essay, and the born-yesterday-lauditory accounts, I'm going to call this as some new blogspam reputation attack on HN.

Speaking of which, the "new" queue has been getting espeically bad, though how much of that is my having enabled "showdead" a few weeks back, I'm not sure.
I spent several years programming the CM-2, and it was a joy to program, and not difficult at all (for most things). I still miss C* in some ways.

Also, see the Inc. article about why they went out of business... it was REALLY bad arrogance about what markets to try to work. They categorically refused to do anything for "ordinary" business problems.
The Most Fascinating Cloud Computing Predictions for 2016
Realistically, Pawtucket will not attract many new residents while allowing some existing RI residents to improve their earnings marginally. There's nothing wrong with people making more money by commuting farther, but the increase in tax base is not likely to be large at the same time those individual increases are being heavily subsidized by existing RI businesses and citizens.
Show HN: Whoa Board – make Electro-Luminescent materials touch sensitive
Just to be clear, I thought everyone has a capacity for murder and other crimes.

Fixing 'them' may also involves fixing 'us' since crimes also occur in the context of our social environment. Think of prosecutors and the police. They are driven by incentive and cognitive bias to commit gross miscarriage of justice and get away with it.

In order to do that, you have to know humanity on an uncomfortably and dangerous deep level.
Nah I mean this stuff IS hard. That's why I offered that mailing list. Like I said a lot of people from azul and a lot of the hardcore jvm heads sit on there.

If there's a way to make java faster for that great. You are are right that the jvm DOES support some of the tight loop stuff.

It's harder to do and leads to messy code though. In C++ you can write maintainable code and add pragmas. It's a lot cleaner and with javacpp (https://github.com/bytedeco/javacpp) we just generate the jni bindings.

We found that to be easier in practice. I'm admittedly not THAT familiar with the jvm internals.

I have just tried to get it to work and have did enough reading to know jni will just be cleaner for that stuff.

The JVM is certainly fast enough, just mainly for distributed systems code (eg: databases, message queues)

Honestly that's what makes it appealing for me. I can write fast production systems and tweak it where necessary for the HPC apps.

Java provides a fast and safe baseline for 90% of the stuff I'd want it to do. We tried for about a year to get it to work for lin alg and finally said screw it let's just do c++.
That's what makes me really cynical about all this. Injustice in the legal system for the lower-classes is a hobby-horse of the Left these days. So naturally, they rail endlessly about private prisons, which are a tiny part of the overall legal system - 16% of prisoners overall, lack of money for public defenders, etc. Yet look at who some of the Democrat party backers are: unions, especially prison guard and police, and lawyers. So naturally, they ignore the parts of the problem caused by their base, and just happen to recommend solutions that will be good for other parts of their base. Makes you wonder how much they really care.

I suppose if you asked a honest Democrat bigwig, they'd say something like they're just focusing on the problems that are practical to fix right now, and they can't fix everything at once because they need the support of these other groups to be able to accomplish anything at all.
Hi, author here. You're good -- I was born in 1985. So, to clarify or rather verify my "geekcred" I did have an email address from Prodigy, generated by my dad, in 1989,

I picked up the design and (weak) programming of websites when I was 10. (The conflation of design and programming was a result of the initial lack of Photoshop skills, which I later picked up.) I used Geocities as a host for a few years, then friends who had servers and set up the domains I needed for me. This was, honestly, beyond me back then, but it worked and I manually updloaded the index and css, etc files. It was a nightmare. At some point I started using Greymatter which helped dramatically.

I don't make a distinction of titles or how other types of diversity because in this short article (albeit long for medium) that wasn't my immediate point. My point was one of the need for larger discussion that DOES IN FACT involve how different roles in the -- and I"ll say -- very large and vague "tech industry" -- experience discrimination AND how other diversity challenges are handled.

And that is what we need to do, beyond my point of changing the ratio. Talk about it. That might not solve the immediate issue, but we absolutely need to have larger discussions and bring them to the table; and if there is a visible sign of a lack of women, at anywhere, because of any reason....then do something about it.
Hi!!! I made this. Would love to answer questions, ect.
It's often a catch-22 situation: as long as they remain in jail they will remain dangerous, due to the nature of prison.

The problem of re-integrating felons with society is difficult and often ignored. It can be impossible to get work for many of these people, leading almost inevitably back to criminality (primarily narcotics, thence prostitution and petty theft).
The reason (the only reasonable one o can come up with) is the added cost of inspection before selling them.

I don't disagree that the mark up mentioned in the post was extreme, but I don't have a good idea of what it would be otherwise.

Based on my having visited places with high tariffs, or a difficult place to deliver things (top of a mountain) you definitely see large markups. Not 6x, but 2x-3x isn't uncommon.
I've been using http://entrproject.org for awhile, which accomplishes a similar task. I do love your -save flag though :)
It is rigged AND is going to be hacked. That's a given.
One thing mass-produced bikes have is that they are mass-produced. Order 100k cargo bikes, and you will get much lower prices.

Another thing they have is less quality control. If your margins are low, you have to cut some corners. The converse isn't necessarily true, but typically it is, as high margin sellers need a good imago to keep attracting customers willing to pay their prices.

I also think their claimed $3000 for a cargo bike is a bit disingenuous. For that, one expects to get a dedicated cargo bike, with a stronger frame, better brakes, etc. such as http://triobike.com/projects/triobike-cargo-bike/

This looks more like a people carrier. Those shouldn't be that expensive.
none of you pussies are going to do anything about it.

you're all cowards.

you're all idiots.
I'd argue much of that time has passed now. I used to write J2EE code. Now we have frameworks like lagom and dropwizard which make life exponentially better. I'd suggest taking another look.
Is this sort of code purely bound by # CPU instructions? Surely other aspects of hardware could also improve.
The wave-eating lanelines do an excellent job of removing most of the effects of wakes. Turbulance from actual strokes is pretty minimised. Worst case is probably in the butterfly where the wake is maximised.

Many other pool features, including both vents (bottom-mounted and highly deflected/diffused) and gutters (in the 1970s - 1980s usually large, below-deck, now often a set of ground-flush slats into which waves are absorbed) also minimise pool turbulence.
I find that strangely adorable, thanks for sharing.
> Also gaining muscular mass at a young age can cause metabolism issues later (after 30), gaining weight easier and such.

I've always heard the opposite. Do you have a source for this?
True, but (unless I miss something, stated or implied) possibly the judge under discussion?
Not out to five decimal places, at those speeds you would actually run into a fair amount of stuff in the near vaccume of space and you lose some delta V escaping the Suns gravity well etc. But relative to all the unknowns it's about a 200 year trip vs a 100 year trip. If everything else worked about as well as expected.

Another consideration is if rocket stops working after 10 years on a fly by you still eventually fly by the general area, but if you want to stop well that's just not happening.
Providence proper is pretty nice, this restaurant, bar scene and music. Pawtucket, not as much so.
It's a big leap to go from proposing more regionally-appropriate subdivisions of government to a single global government. I understand what you're trying to say, but there is no meaningful competition here. Boston is the region's center of gravity, and neither Providence nor Manchester threaten that. Meaningful competition comes in at the inter-regional level (e.g., Boston vs. New York).

There are plenty of public-access university libraries. What they're restricted from doing is extending journal access to users who are neither attached to the university or physically present in the library.
It could easily be rigged without a papertrail or having to show ID to vote.
That's not really relevant here. What I'm talking about is how moving residents from a Massachusetts suburb to a Rhode Island suburb will not by itself create any net-gain for the region's economy. Perhaps there are knock-on effects if living in Rhode Island makes people more productive in some way, though.

Anyway, the competition angle makes more sense when you're looking at different regions (e.g., Boston vs. New York).
I am referring to how the big players (Google with Gmail, Microsoft with Hotmail, and I suspect many others) tend to flag as spam, or even outright reject your email, as soon as the IP comes from a "little player", such as residential IP, or even virtual private hosting IPs.

Sending an email to a user of such networks has become difficult —at least, more difficult than it should be. Unless of course you come from one of those huge networks. And of course, the users themselves don't see any problem with this: they assume that if you can't send an email to them, the problem must be on your end —not, say, Gmail's spam filter.

On the other hand, if everyone had a little box that send email directly from home, nobody would ever dare to block them.
or, to turn this question around, it's arguably more fruitful to focus on finding an interesting target market and learning about what its needs are before thinking about a particular product/service they might find useful enough to pay for, let alone building anything.
I really wish curl had a --pretty-json option.
I followed Ars Technica's article years ago, and modulo a few minor alterations, their instructions seemed to have worked pretty well. I will note that I mostly receive, rather than send email, but I've had no problems I'm aware of.
Usually in organic gardens the best way to remove the weeds is mechanically, ya know 'pulling the weeds'. Alternatively, there are systems that use liquid nitrogen to freeze the unwanted plants and others that use a propane torch to burn the weeds away.

From TFA:

(Attempting to construct a concrete pool to any tighter a tolerance is nearly impossible; the effective length of a pool can change depending on the ambient temperature, the water temperature, and even whether or not there are people in the pool itself.)

> To add to the downsides, you can't expand RAIDZ vdevs.

> If you start with a 6 disk RAIDZ2 and want to add a couple more drives, you can't. The only way to add capacity to the pool is to add an entire new vdev.

This is mostly true, and in many situations for all practical purposes is true. Not fully understanding this recently cost me a few hundred dollars (2x 8TB external drives) when I needed to expand my 4 disk raidz2 to a 6 disk raidz2.

However, what _is_ possible is expanding a pool by incrementally replacing drives with larger capacity equivalents. This wouldn't work in my situation as I already was using the largest consumer drives available - but the next time I need to expand in a few years it may be a possibility.

> ... expandable file system that handles parity/erasure coding as well as bitrot that can be used right now

Unfortunately I believe this to be the case. However in practice, so long as you know up front your data store is not expandable, it's fairly easy to work around without it being too much of a hassle. If having two zpools when you need to expand is a burden for your use case because the data necessarily will be partitioned across pools (ie: in multiple directories), there are tools that will present multiple filesystems as a single mount point to linux.

Alternatively, mirrored vdevs [0] as opposed to a classic raidz2 configuration are much easier to expand, as you only have to replace 2 drives to expand your total storage space (a single vdev) as opposed to having to replace all of your drives with higher capacity drives as with raidz2.

> and Ceph might be more usable

After all that rambling about zfs, the main thing I wanted to touch on: I'd caution most people to not use ceph unless you already know you need it. For the average user, it is introducing so much unnecessary complexity that will just create future headaches when using it in a non-distributed manner (if zfs is an alternative, it must be non-distributed). Which isn't to say ceph isn't useful, it's just built to be optimal at solving a slightly different problem than a filesystem on a single compute can solve.

sway is awesome! It's got almost all the features I'm used to from i3 (major exception being mouse support for the bar), and it's only a _little_ buggy :-)

Bostion is not a single entity, it's an interconnected network of many types of entity's and local governments etc. Each of those local governments both compete with and help each other.
Maybe. It depends on the kind of competition. Having been a resident of Michigan (which has a film tax credit like nearly every state) and Washington (which generously supports Boeing in return for annual not-far-from-extortion attempts), I have seen bad competition up close and personal. On the other hand, a state offering a great school system (the UC system of yore, anyone?) is pretty hard to argue with as good competition.
This is pure nonsense. Mods, please delete this effortless post.
True, and as hardware keeps evolving towards array-based setups like GPUs/ASICS with FPGAs and other hybrids, languages like J/APL/K fit them like a glove.

Using qdb from Kx or Jd for J, both columnar databases with billion row operations on capable vector-processing hardware is the modern realization of this type of computing.

These languages are not currently too popular, but I think a cousin of theirs will come on the scene and really light things up. Some current attempts at newer GPGPU targeted languages have popped up these past few years [1, 2, 3, 4].

The difference between these array languages and something like NumPy and other libs to add array processing and better numerics, is that the columnar databases or stores, have the array language built-in; you can abstract out, but if you program with them, there are no onion layers between you and speed and processing.

No, it's not a uniquely American phenomenon, but that's the example at hand and the one that I'm most familiar with.
Interesting. I get interested into something, (even legacy stuff) then everyone is in.

Maybe is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floodgate_effect

But there was a concise term about that.
Exactly right. People _steal_ recyclables in my area, too, and many Progressives seem fine with theft and the unreported income that results. We have many other criminal acts (which have been caught on camera) associated with this, including rummaging through cars and package theft.

When "three strikes" was foolishly overturned by pro-crime Californians, the amount that you have to steal to be charged with a felony also increased. So people can steal items from cars and doorsteps, in addition to recyclables, and never have to worry about spending a day in prison.
I imagine this allows for crowdsourcing and who knows how many ideas are out there. Sort of like Gauss Method for the sum of a series.

I can't speak for the accounts that cropped up posting comments, but I'm the original HN submitter for this article (not the author) and I can assure you there's no blogspamming happening on my part.
Thank you for your elaborations. :)

When I wrote my comment to your article here it really caused me to think that that lack of discussion and distinction between the different roles is probably a good chunk of the source of friction against improving diversity.

What do you think would be some good starting questions for such a discussion?
That's part of what I mean: we have these antiquated divisions (i.e. states) that have little connection with the actual economy. Why not create a system that does that?*

* In the United States we know the answer, of course: rural areas have the power, and doing so would require them to cede that. One can dream, though.
Enough for what?
Gotta tell you: when I looked at your idea, I was thinking "wow, I could totally use that."

You do have to get used to being told you suck. I've got customers who have been using my software every day, for almost a decade, who still complain. Just had a call with one this past week and for the first time ever, he didn't say it sucked.

But then I got an email from him two days later and the suck was back.

This is life. Don't let it get you down. Every piece of feedback is a "dot" creating the pointillist painting of what your market wants.
This is so true.
Boston transit leaves a lot to be desired. Even once you get there on commuter rail.

There are 2 commuter rail stations and they're not connected. They are trying to connect though even with the advocacy of two former govenors, but the current government is resisting (http://www.northsouthraillink.org/).

I live in Cambridge MA and commute to Boston (3.5 miles by bike). The fastest I can get to longwood Boston is about 25 minutes on a bike. Bus is 45 minutes.

Coworkers that have spaces can get from just outside 128 to Boston in slightly over an hour.

I launched 2 websites before my current startup.
1. Drawmics.com. It was about social comic creation. It failed because I couldn't find enough creative people to post comic on the website nor could I get them to create comic on it. There was no organic traffic and people wouldn't share the comic. Didn't know how to sell.
2. Findero.us. It was location based QnA iPhone app. People could post questions defined by radius of city/state/country. Failed because I sucked at user-acquisition strategies.

Now that I am on my third start-up I could see what different things I could have done with my previous 2.
1. Build a product that solves a problem, however small, for a big audience. This means that you have to work on your product until you find that problem. If there is none, it will not work. I remember I read something about finding questions before finding answers. Questions are more important than finding answers.
2. Once you know you have the solution, go aggressive with user-acquisition and then fine-tune the product. People will complain about missing features, but you want scale before you go for product enhancements if you are solving a real problem.
I guess the one thing I'd ask is what you saw in this piece that was worth submitting.

Don't forget about a population density. I suspect a lot of the 'ratial' bias in the justice system stems from the number of interactions with poor people in high vs low population areas. In some areas you could sit on your back porch target practicing with a shotgun and nobody would care. That's not the case in any city.

Get drunk and drive off the road into a corn field, well if you can get out without anyone noticing then no big deal.
The answers are not that simple, if you want to use either organic or conventional methods.

You need to understand what the unwanted organism is and understand how to kill it without killing the wanted organisms.

For instance, 2-4-D is deadly to "broadleaf" (dicot) plants and relatively harmless to monocot (grass type) plants. 2-4-D will kill dandilions in lawn but would be a terrible choice in some other situations. Also the timing of the treatment relative to the life cycles of the organisms is also crucial as some treatments work great at a certain time but would be ineffective or harmful to wanted plants at the wrong time.
