ZFS, which is known for having crazy high limits, will fit somewhat over 280 trillion entries in a single directory. Curiously, though, you can have over 18 million trillion file systems in a single storage pool.
I saw it at the Staten Island ferry terminal last week, maybe because it's approaching 9/11? It had a yellow insert and said something like alert level 1.

That combined with the "see something say something" ads does make me feel like terrorism might a real possibility. For my part I've avoided the subway at peak hours. I know it's pretty unlikely, but who knows.

The author has a good intuition but he forgets patents and secrets. 3D printing was a success in the industrial world through the 90s. It became a public success when its patents ended around 2004. Why would people talk about something they can't use anyway?
Wouldn't 5000 files of note-taking easily fit into RAM? Why bother dealing with thousands of small files? Also, rsync does quite a good job with intransferring multi-MB (or even larger) files efficiently while copying only what's actually changed.
Didn't get the point of using inline assembly for outportb instead of making it part of start.s.

Just to prove the point of calling something with C calling convention?
It's a property of the filesystem that is set when it was created. In the case of the mkfs.ext{2,3,4}, you can set the number of inodes with the -N flag, but by default, it is the size of the filesystem divided by inode_ratio (probably 4096).

To C: Probably people know more about sex than they used to, not less. Anyway sexual eduction leads to the first sex you have being later in life.

Porn certainly is more accessible and widespread than it has been.
Monster Group (formerly the Baby Monster)
I did the same thing to support about 10 million customer websites, but had the opposite experience - it worked pretty well, we used UFS and a 4 level directory structure (i.e. customer "apple" went into '/a/p/p/l/apple' and just wrote a simple apache module to map URL's to this directory structure.(using a hash of the filename would have given more even distribution, but this naive algorithm worked pretty effectively)

It was much easier than coding a database back-end, with no need to run a database server. And, when we needed to scale beyond one machine, it was trivial to use a central NFS server (read-only NFS worked really well for this) and multiple front-end web servers.

Though we did know how many files we'd be hosting, so we sized the number of bytes per inode appropriately.
Now I'm wondering whether that makes for a good design assuming you're using a filesystem that surpasses that limitation.

Btrfs?
The article is based on a popular misconception: The Planck length is Lorentz invariant, so special relativity must break down at Planck length scales.

However this is wrong. The Planck length is the minimal length of a 4-vector (a 4-dimensional vector measuring the distance between two events in space-time). But the length of a 4-vector is invariant under Lorentz transformation, so it also doesn't Lorentz contract. So there is no conflict between special relativity and a constant Planck length.

I don't doubt that advertising and IAP are more successful monetization strategies than selling your app, but if I got into indie app development it would be because I wanted to make apps which I myself liked, respected, and would want to use. That immediately precludes advertising and makes IAP very challenging.
Hi, I definitely like the UI/UX of this over ARC. I haven't used Paw or Postman.

It sounds like you're taking suggestions so my only one would be configurations that make working with OAuth simpler like OAuth signature generation.

Great work!

This is classic cat and mouse. Once most AV vendors and OSs support this, they will find a different way. In other words, increased complexity for a temporary relief.

It's really is about time that OS vendors to start looking at this problem differently. There is a part of the system that is for the system only, and a part that is for the user. Keep the two seperate, 100%. Each and every program should be in their own little sandbox, so any compromises are confined to that sole program.

Sandboxing this way will not make the problem go away, but it will significantly reduce the attack surface that needs to be hardened to prevent a random exploit to be used to jump to a systemwide exploit.
Congrats, Pavel!
We've been using Postman https://www.getpostman.com/, and it's been working great for our team. The sync and export features are killer. But I like the dark theme and the vertical split in Insomnia, will give it a try.
The key is to offer something in exchange for the ad view. Like in Sim City and Abyssrium, they actually give you something. When it becomes a choice, it becomes a willful transaction, and not only do users willingly and repeatedly watch ads for you, they don't mind it.

Unlike streaming content, in a game it's easy to reward the player. In fact, it's much easier than making the player pay for the game upfront, or pay for the reward.

I'm not saying you made the wrong choice, but why do you say that, given the various options for cross-platform development (Qt, Mono, etc)?
Unfortunately, Postman's native apps don't handle NTLM authentication, which basically makes them unusable for me. Have to stick with the chrome extension for the time being.
Also, the author is wrong on the first flight which was not the wrights but clement ader... in 1890. Nice fail. He should be more modest and avoid giving les sons to journalists and industrialists when he does not now his own history, even 140 years later and with the Hell of the internet and Wikipedia. He should be more self-aware that being right about innovation is indeed difficult.

You could have also tuned ext4 when you created it with mke2fs. You can specify with -N the max # of inodes desired. Granted, it's not something very many people consider when creating their filesystems; for one thing it's hard to predict how many you will need.
But there's a big difference between consequences that are predictable because of nature (i.e. if I kick this rock it will hurt) and consequences that are predictable because of people's decisions.

The redistillers' resolve to keep selling even if they couldn't renature their product and it would be deadly - should that be treated the same as a force of nature? When should people's decisions be treated as a fact we just have to adapt to?

In my experience, people mostly want their own decisions, or the decisions of the people they agree with, to be treated as facts of nature. But the decisions of people they disagree with, they want to treat as their own free decisions.

In fact bitcoin makes it harder to conceal transactions from your peers. Wallets are pseudonymous and can be correlated to IRL identities if used similarly to traditional banking accounts/physical wallets.
Just because you can't correlate identities doesn't mean you should expect the network to guard your "financial privacy".

I just installed and ran a request, seems the response xml format was not available as nicely formatted. I just saw a junk of xml as result. Is there any configuration available for the auto formatting with indents for the sub-elements.
I believe postman does it by itself.
That sounds about right. It was a ridiculously low number, and even back in the days of 10MB hard drives, it was easy to bust that number with just batch and text files...
I know that's what adaptive coding means, I thought that was impossible with rANS. All the descriptions of rANS I could find (back when I looked at it) described it terms of a static model, and I ran into problems trying to generalize it to an adaptive one.

Thanks for the resources.

ummm... no. Ofcourse, no innovation gets built on its own in modern age, you are at very least taking advantage of the fact that someone else invented wheel, fire and steel :). However Wrights had very novel contribution. If you read through history, you will see that 1900s were absolute breeding ground for new flying machines and theories. People were trying out crazy stuff like flipping bird wings. It was Wrights who figured out that curved wings can produce enough power to lift the aircraft. They actually did this scientifically by their own wind tunnel experiments (a very first). I would say this was very original and not thought out before. In fact, if they had told this idea to someone else without demonstration they would have been laughed off. Sure, rest of innovations in aviation didn't belonged to Wrights.
That's a rare thing to happen. Rape cases are brought relatively rarely to police. Then only 2–8% of those rape allegations are false [1]. Around 50% of them aren't against persons (so allegations are like "some stranger raped me"). Next you don't need to have sex with someone so that they can accuse you.

I really doubt that there are any persons where this is the main reason they don't have sex. You usually have sex with people that you built up at least a bit of mutual trust and most of the time are in a relationship with.

I don't. In fact, the opposite: I find overly deferential people difficult to work with. I'd prefer to work with someone that is going to call me an idiot when I do something dumb than someone who will keep their mouth shut and work around me -- Letting me do stupid things without correction is unpleasant. And having people waste time trying to make me feel better or whatever just annoys me. Besides, reading a good insult is just plain fun. Especially if I know the person.

How is that number calculated? It's less than 2^25 but greater than 2^24

It depends on the filesytem, but it is typically a function of filesystem size (and in ext, the number of block groups and inodes per block group size). To take an example:

sudo tune2fs -l <device> | egrep -i 'group'
Blocks per group: 32768
Fragments per group: 32768
Inodes per group: 8192

So, we have got 1 inode per 4 blocks. This particular filesystem has 79472640 blocks (of 4KiB) and 19873792 inodes. This corresponds to the 4:1 ratio: 79472640 / 19873792 =~ 4.
To me this piece feels like an ad for index funds, riddled with false facts and generalizations.
Not at this time, but it's something I want to add.

I hope this project takes off. Would love to have a completely open source mobile phone or tablet.

Another (completely unrelated) tidbit from that time in history: There were two competing schools of thought regarding flight. One was the modern school of thought: that pilots should be given control. The other was inherent stability, the idea that planes could be made to balance themselves in the air with no input from a pilot.

I just think it's interesting how difficult it is to see good ideas when they haven't been invented yet. And how easy it is to relentlessly pursue bad ideas.

As I recall from his podcast[0], the author is specifically trying to make a business of indie apps, as opposed to making the best apps he possibly can. Or, to put it another way: he's making the best apps he can within the constraints of his business model.

(I'm not saying the apps are any better or worse for it; I haven't used them.)

He's probably right that in order to make a living as an indie mobile-app developer you have to go with the flow, but it does imply that making an app to satisfy your own standards would not make you any money.

You should talk to a lawyer, not a sysadmin, because your remedy is going to be contractual rather than technological. Technologists thinking rationally will tell you that anyone with physical possession of an operating device wins, every single time.

If your lawyer cannot sufficiently derisk this for you then don't take on this business. (I would expect them to say, as part of that conversation, "Look, enterprises generally don't give a #$'(%# about the IP of their vendors. If it were available in an envelope labeled Please Take This Valuable IP they'd pass it by because they have a business to run and you're just a distraction to them." And they're right.)
There's a lot wrong with some of the things Comey said, but this simply isn't true.

Its a pretty common occurrence for a large company to find out that they've been hacked only when the FBI notifies them. There are small teams at the FBI that have a ton of experience dealing with enterprise intrusions.

Inventing what becomes a billion dollar technology doesn't mean generating a billion dollars in revenue. Nothing comes to mind where an individual wasn't generously compensated when they start to finish took an invention and built a billion dollar industry.

There are also employees who have gotten significant amounts of money in return.

Maybe it is the way I'm wired but every day I see tasks to reduce operating costs. A lot of those tasks are not giant savings, couple thousand a month here, there, and all sudden we've hit $1 mln/year. I have a growing list of things that I'll never be able to finish even if I spend my entire life at this company.

What stops you from identifying problems and solving them?
Your filesystem's block size is probably 4KiB. So, it's one inode per for blocks.

That's crazy.

Why? Do you expect to store many files less than 16KiB?

I'm the author. This wasn't something anyone was supposed to 'find', it's not even really a 'project', just a quick hack to demonstrate a point; I don't even think it's valid to say the project name is "taylor", it's just the name of the repository - I probably should have just called it "swift-on-baremetal" or something equally boring. I have a history of my stupid little 'projects' showing up on HN.
Absolutely. You are right. No science needed to identify morality. Therefore lot's of western countries are inherently immoral. Letting gay people openly kiss each other? Some states even let gay people marry. What an abomination to thy Lords rulings.

Not to speak of black people being allowed to vote. To marry without consent of their owners.

Sorry - but do you really need more examples, that arguing with an universal morale is just one big smelly pile of bullshit?

Morale and societal norms change and shift over time. We develop and there is no basic morality, just societal contracts. And that is good. We do not need an entity enforcing or dictating our morals. We need rationality to identify the right rules to live as a society and then a system to enforce these rules in the best possible way (not that we do have that in place anywhere in the world). But given your comment/idea and our current systems I rather live in our current systems. I just do not want to be ruled by some morality dictators.

I see this a lot in the C community as well.

Never had a use case of program being too slow due to the better type safety of the language being used.

And on the few cases it actually mattered, like 1% of the code base after profiling, only there was the safety level turned off if no other means of optimization were possible.

Apparently some programming language cultures are bound to the "micro-optimize every code line" cargo cult, even if it doesn't matter the difference to the use case at hand.
First they will ignore you. Then they will laugh at you. Then they will work against you. Then you win.
This seems to be one of those bits of old UNIX lore that's being lost - it used to be fairly well-known in sysadmin circles that if you were going to be storing a lot of tiny files, you should create your filesystem with a higher than usual number of inodes (the classic case was an NNTP spool mount).
You can use swiftc (the Swift compiler) without Xcode just like you can use clang without Xcode. Xcode is just an IDE.

I made 30+ interviews before i got bored, for the reasons explained by ludable@. That's a personal choice, but i didn't buy much into asking useless and weird data structure questions. The attitude interviewers had wrt the "false negative" was also really artificial, and also felt elitist. You could really feel that when interviewers were thinking of/discussing new questions, and you could feel how "proud" they were when they found something not even remotely relevant to their day to day job.

I have been at google more than you have, that might be a factor in my thoughts, too.
