Definitely, and I'm sure many do. And it is often very surprising how far ahead the older authors had thought. But while such reading is fun as a leisure activity, doing it seriously requires full-time dedication as a historian of thought because often even if the words are intelligible the concepts have drifted so much that they can be understood only by studying not only the famous works but their entire intellectual milieu. For example, to someone trained in contemporary economics even Keynes' 'General Theory' written in 1936 is very hard to make detailed sense of. So as a practical matter it comes down to a choice of studying either economics or the history of economics.

Interesting if rosy glasses view; Linux didn't propagate I/O barriers until 2.6.33 on most common mdraid setups which is absolutely insane. https://monolight.cc/2011/06/barriers-caches-filesystems/

I know this is Linux's Alan Cox but the post reads like a typical Windows hater Linux desktoper and is quite amusing and even quaint if you have just passing familiarity with ZFS internals to contrast.

As far as the layered approach I would also suggest study of FreeBSD's geom which dips slightly below and above Linux's mdraid (i.e. you still use geom with ZFS, zvols) but IMHO is a bit cleaner probably because it's a later arrival.

He means "missing the obvious".

> circularities

He means being unable to define something in terms of its referents, instead defining it in terms of the properties you've already prescribed as being the thing. Can you define what love is without using terms like "affection"? Typically you need to start giving examples.

Overall he's using rhetoric to make fun of self-proclaimed intellectuals that can't, won't, or don't actually think.

> ensemble modulus linear aggregation

Sometimes, a collection of things is more than just the sum of its parts. I think his "minority rule" chapter was about how if you have a majority willing to make concessions and a minority unwilling to make concessions, the minority can control the actions of the majority. So their effect is more than the sum of their presence.

Trust me when I say he's intelligible. But it looks like his writing style is not for everyone.
I'd say you're quite optimistic in thinking that not little government implies power =/= authority, and quite pessimistic in thinking that little government does not imply a civilized, functioning society.

But even without getting into political debates which could get really nuanced, can't authority mean capability in this context? I'm not a native English speaker so I'm not sure, but I don't find it odd. It is also possible that these two words have different (Anglo-Saxon vs French) origin, as most of the examples listed, and that their original meaning was synonymous (of course, I'm far too lazy and tired to check that now).
Lately the news I've been reading coming out of the U.S. seems to show there are a lot of reasons you can end up dead because of the police.
But Markov chains have never produced credible sentences. They produce crazy schizophrenic sentences that begin talking about one thing and end up talking about something entirely different because they went on farther than their lookback. Just look at the example in your link:

That's not going to get past anyone who reads it in any context. The method here was to copy entire well-formed sentences from existing reviews.

The new cast feature in recent builds of chromium is not working for me. It fails to find any devices. Looking at the debug output it says: "media router not defined."

I actually did partially witness something like that back in 2007. We were a group of students and visiting a historic site. One girl (probably) started recording while eventually, a rather fat man (which wasn't that common here) walked past her. She was talking with her friend, found something amusing and the man jumped to the conclusion that she had filmed him and laughed about his weight. So he walked up to here and slapped her phone out of her hands which fell to the ground and broke. In the end, he walked away while she remained on the spot, crying.

What I want to say, this actually does happen...though, probably more back in the day since nowadays, pretty much everyone has their phone out all the time. And you can't slap that many phones out of people's hands.

If you read the Linux developer's article that this whole thread is about, you will see reasons you should not use hardware RAID for some years now.

And yes, most people should default to ZFS for everything on FreeBSD/IllumOS/Solaris/Linux. There are specific cases where you should use XFS or UFS on these operating systems such as fail in place and overlay filesystems (HDFS, Ceph, Swift etc) but times have changed, the tables have turned, these non-ZFS filesystems are now expert territory with here be dragons warning label.

First, before commenting on Apple Watch, it might be useful to get two things straight: first, the name of the fucking product, and second, the fact that it's by far the best-selling smartwatch in history, and an instant #2 in revenue in the watch market in general, behind only Rolex. So actually, it is a pretty big deal.

Second, how do you know whether this product does anything well? You don't. You're guessing. Odds are that it doesn't. Even if it does, it will be a joke and a failure for the same reasons that Google Glass was: you have to wear it, and it looks stupid, and it's shockingly, hilariously obtrusive and will creep people out.

So basically, you're wrong on all counts.

Snapchat should stick to the one thing it's good at: more plausibly-deniable ways to send dick pics.

I don't really accept moral arguments that argue that one thing is a better use of one's free time than some other thing. Even the best cancer researchers have every right to use their free time to watch a movie or read fiction instead of working on solving problems, even though they could theoretically save human lives by doing so. If they get to, then surely people who write programmer tools to search files get to do whatever they want in their free time too.

The author chose to spend his time writing his own file searching tool instead of trying to work with GNU. That's his call.

Close enough for a quick reply, but it's not the "radio" using lots of power, it's the chip that's doing the signal processing.

It takes complex FFT operations that actually cause the power hungry nature to find the proverbial needle in the haystack.

While I'm not positive (maybe he'll return and post a yes/no), I seem to recall that Pepper's source code was bought by a guy named Jason Slack, presumably the fellow you're responding to. It was my first editor when I went back to OS X myself, although I confess I grew irritated both with it and with the attitude of its (original, pre-Jason) developer, who always seemed to have a chip on his shoulder about, well, everything: performance issues on OS X with Pepper that other editors didn't exhibit were Apple's fault; Pepper's mediocre documentation wasn't really a problem, users just weren't exploring the editor to find things (maybe this was a complaint in the Pe days, but I swear it was a real complaint); ultimately, Pepper's failure in the marketplace wasn't due to the poor performance, bugs and mediocre documentation, but our collective failure to recognize its true genius.

...sorry, apparently I've wanted to get that off my chest for 15 years. I'm feeling better now!

Anyway, I was kind of hopeful Pepper would be revived, but I gave up on it long ago, moving from BBEdit to TextMate to Sublime Text and, perhaps surprisingly, back to BBEdit, although I keep Atom up to date as well.
Being someone in the AR space, I find this a smart but risky move. If they're marked right and become "cool" I'll definitely have to cop a pair (and at $130 they're almost disposable). Spectacles will make it way easier for me to post to Snapchat at parties/concerts/etc without having to break out of the moment by taking my phone out. Strategy-wise, this is a Trojan horse into the AR hardware space, which Evan has wanted to get into for years. However, they fit way better into Snap's image of being a media company vs. directly launching an AR headset.

The site seems blocked here (China) but if I read the comments, how is it AR? What more does it do than make a picture when you tap your temple? Is there any augmenting of reality going on, because then $130 would be 'free'.
The thing is that it takes a significant amount of time and bandwidth to get flagged as an exit and included on circuits. So your set of hosts is going to be pretty limited to start; most hosts are pretty hostile to Tor exits as it is, and are going to shut down an exit hosted in their IP space because they don't want to deal with the abuse complaints. In contrast, the exit scanner can be part of the first users of an exit node. You could try to detect the scanner, but the nature of Tor is that this isn't feasible.

In any case, you can solve the problem of distributing software over Tor by setting up a hidden service. The Tor devs have been making noise for a while about creating an "onion service" that isn't hidden, but has the same guarantees as a hidden service (an improved version of exit enclaving).
The question is: Will it be better than Facebook?

People really have any expectation from Google devices?

Even android which whole marketing is that it is "more open" only receives self-serving features. Btw, the access to chrome-cast is baked in the playStore service. So your app has to be compiled with full google play store tracking library to use it. ...i used to help maintain a version of fenec (firefox for android) that was build without chromecast support just because of this (and if you want it, gnu now maintains a better version called IceCat)

Oh, and even plain-open-source projects... there were 4 attempts to have an option to disable referrer on chromium. All of them reverted by google employers on unrelated commits. So even chromium is not that safe.

Don't buy this do one thing and well for a second.

Using your own example:

Before the iPhone, you had seperate:
GPS
Camera
Flashlight
MP3 Player
and many other things

With the iPhone, you got all of these and a nice compact package that you could carry with you at all times. Thats not to say feature creep can't be a problem, but more that sticking to hard and fast rules like 'do one thing but do that well' is largely an oversimplification of the world to make the world more comprehendible to those that don't want to look at the real nuance of products/markets etc.

The architecture of the Physical Web is about not requiring a central server for things to work. We want it to be distributed and federated, like the web. Nothing we do requires a single central server. As you currently describe it, your approach would likely involve such a server.

We are experimenting with wifi through mDNS and wifi-direct (it's available in early form in our Physical Web app for Android) With these, we embed the URL into the wifi router itself, using it much like a bluetooth beacon. I think this is getting to the spirit of what you'd like to do. The only issue we're wrestling with is that this type of approach enables offline or unreachable beacons which raises some security concerns. We're looking into using a signed package format to fix that problem.
Honestly hate seeing wsj articles posted in here.
What's wrong with older, more experienced people expressing an opinion about the politics and behavior of younger, inexperienced people. Seems like a reversal of common sense to assert that elders have nothing to say to or about the generations that come after them.
Additionally, you can have substitutions in there:

Host *
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/%r@%h

This is indeed better, as a compromise means only the private keys on the affected host are affected. That of course works better with a keypair per source/destination combination.

Note that this _does_ cause issues sometimes, as it means your ssh-agent (you _are_ using one of those, right?) will have more keys than a typical auth attempt limit, and software that assumes trying all your keys before prompting for input is a sane thing to do will fail.

Yeah, you could cast with the Google Cast extension over Chromium.

And it's generally believed that Google moved the Chromecast-functionality into Chrome and away from an extension to not necessarily lock out Chromium, but rather to lock out other Chromium-based browsers which could use their extensions, so for example Opera.

Firefox and, I believe, Edge are also getting support for Chrome extensions in the foreseeable future, so this might have increased the incentive to lock out browsers that can use their extensions, too.
