My suspicion is that it has to do with the test and the SLC cache. In the iPhone 7, most of the flash is TLC, but a portion of the flash is configured as much faster (for writes) SLC. The cache buffers a certain amount of writes, later transferring them to TLC. On a bigger drive this cache is bigger. So if the test fits into SLC cache on the bigger phone but falls out of it on the smaller phone, that (combined with lower write parallelism with fewer flash chips) would explain the write delta.
The thing that horrifies me the most is that the COO of Facebook would write an email subject line as vague and inappropriately capitalized as, "in case you have time."

Yes unfortunately copyright trolls will complain about that because "It's not fair" and "dem pirates took our jobs"... They want to be able to use the DMCA to flag anything their employer doesn't like, whether it's actual copyright infringement, criticism under the fair use, or criticism without even using their content... Sad truth about the freedom on the Internet and the DMCA.

I'm not sure why you assume that. The form-factor isn't particularly weird and the specifications are excellent. If they're sensible enough to use bone-stock Android, I expect that it'll be a very good phone.

more accurately, they don't support the common standard methodologies for transferring zone data between primary and secondary name servers (like NOTIFY, AXFR, etc).

there is nothing stopping you from having Route53 and $others as NS records for your domains. You just have to make sure they stay consistent. Apparently from the linked discussion, there are people offering scripts and services to do just that.
I've found the easiest stuff to organize is the stuff I no longer have. I used to feel obligated to file a lot of stuff that came in the mail, like addendums to insurance policies, annual reports for stocks or funds, credit card statements, etc. But it dawned on me long ago that I virtually never need to refer back to that stuff. So it goes straight into the trash. When the bookshelves in my office fill up, I cull the books and donate them to Goodwill or sell them to a used bookstore. Old clothes, shoes, etc. are routinely purged from my life.

Some people love to acquire new things. I love getting rid of old things that no longer serve a purpose in my life.

Cool, thanks for taking the time to answer.
Hah, these are great, thanks for posting.

I agree with the OP and have also seen it over the years. I had and ex that got her urban planning degree from Columbia and worked for NYC planning dept. I learned alot from her degree via osmosis.

There is an overarching theme here though that doesn't just permeate things like transportation, but frankly, many aspects of city residence: ivory tower power grabs. The political system here is broken in my mind and like the op said, controlled by these little groups of, really, anti-progress people. Look no further than transportation and education.

Not to change the subject, but we're going through the 'school lottery' now for our first child and it's fucking ridiculous. We're touring 15 schools and have talked to people that have said "you need at least 30 so they know you're serious..."! We live 3 blocks from one of the best schools in the city and probably won't get in. Hacks that people richer than us are doing? Move across town to increase your chances of getting into the school 3 blocks from us!

I first moved to SF in the 90's from southern california and it was amazing. Mostly because I came to a 'real' city. But, many things have not changed much. Homeless is worse than ever, I never knew how shitty the school situation was, transportation still sub-par, police brutality about the same but more documented.

I've also lived in NYC and Chicago, traveled all over the world and have seen how real big cities work. I've never seen a subway in Japan, the UK, Paris, Berlin, even India, that is like ours. Bart passengers deal with a lot of transient people in the cars directly, while muni has that plus some of the stations are so awful that you get close to puking because of the filth. Powell muni exit at 4th is fucked up.

Honestly, I have no idea what will fix any of this. Every mayor since I moved here has had a homeless program and it hasn't done much. I think rent control has backfired, permitting process and nimbyism are still a joke, edu system is ridiculous, etc. It seems like there are these 'educated' people that love experimenting with ideas that have no basis in reality.

I never used to really get why families would leave. "Who would leave the city?!" But, once you get trapped in any of these things, it's a grind. And nobody cares much.

There are a lot of great things about the city and I have a lot of history here, but it's only been in the last few years that I seriously thought about leaving. I have a good friend that's lived in the east bay for over a decade now (they bought their house when it was _only_ $700k). We would get into heated discussions about suburbia vs. the city and I'd always defend the virtues of the city. My spiky ideals have been ground down to nubs and now it's just like, get me past the everyday garbage to work and back home.

So now I ask myself, do I really want to raise a family in a place where high minded idealism rules over common sense and reality? Or do we flee like countless others?
Has it changed the financial incentives? If not, why would it change the results?
It does not. I had TOTP 2FA only on my last work account and it was company policy not to add phone numbers for security reasons.

I'm genuinely curious why you'd really want native package loading in vim, except for purity's sake. If you're already using third party packages, is it much worse to just add a package manager? I've been using junegunn's excellent `vim-plug`[0] for a while now and it's worked really well. Some of the benefits I can see over the native approach here:

- Declarative configuration suitable for version control.

- Parallel installation/update.

- Run scripts or makefile on install/update.

- On-demand loading based on open filetypes.

> The link doesn't say what you say it does

First you gotta tell me what do you think I'm saying. The link may not say it but if you check the thread that link resides in you'll see it's right on topic.

The context here is set by the parent:

> That sounds like a pretty serious issue with the QA and or bug tracking process.

My comment is exactly about "bug tracking process"
Linux is not known to be a friendly upstream when it comes to widely accepted security procedures like marking security vulnerabilities as such, coordinating fixes with distribution vendors etc.

> So I personally consider security bugs to be just "normal bugs". I don't
cover them up, but I also don't have any reason what-so-ever to think it's
a good idea to track them and announce them as something special. (http://yarchive.net/comp/linux/security_bugs.html)

Just look at the damn commit that fixes this vulnerability. It doesn't even tell it is a serious local privilege escalation. I saw the changelog for 4.4.26 yesterday and didn't realized it was an urgent security update until I saw Debian bulletin later.

> For various reasons I needed to get a round of stable kernels out sooner (http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org/msg...)

Yeah. "various reasons". There are only 2 commits and one is a huge vulnerability. In the mean time the fix (thus the vulnerability) was sitting in Linus' git tree for the last week because Linus doesn't believe in security vulnerabilities.

Whatever.
Nice post. I would add that for engineers to become true marketers, if they want to, it does require some non-trivial mindset shifts http://myessayshelp.org/
>the 10-year-after build quality of the homes I've seen have been effectively on par with McMansions if not better.

"on par with McMansions" is not good. One of the big criticisms of McMansions is the build quality is very poor and the materials used are very, very cheap. For example, from the same site, http://www.mcmansionhell.com/post/149128564511/mclean-virgin...

>Barely ten years old, and this house has already sustained all kinds of damage due to poor construction quality. It’s extremely sad when you think about what could’ve been built in place of this house, which wasn’t even built to last ten more years. A house with a life expectancy under a hundred years is a sad house indeed.
they are cheap compared to Neustar. And Neustar is priced like a Bugatti. Dyn is more Porsche pricing.
same seems to be the case for parts of AWS, comment below: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12760165
The street is where you're typically driving in from though. So, barring a garage at a lower level at the side of the house or something along those lines, moving a garage around to the back (non-streetside) of the house probably involves building more driveway and otherwise dedicating more space to cars.

I have been using NeoVim for half a year and have not looked back. It is backward compatible (completes Vim test suite successfully) and brings some other goodies, such as async jobs (I know Vim 8.0 has these but they have been in NeoVim since I switched) and a great terminal emulator. It has much better defaults that I did not know about when I was using Vim. Honestly - give both a try - installing NeoVim, all you have to import your settings is to symlink your .vimrc to .nvimrc, as far as I remember

I like the idea of this as a second device that has phone capabilities. I wish it were easy/quick to switch between multiple devices on the same cell plan.

Between this article, the recent front page article on contrast[1], and something I've written recently (about missing loading indicators) [2], it seems the common feature is that developers are losing empathy for end users. Our devices and connections are too good to understand real world scenarios.

I both understand your sentiment - as I think there is a spot of "This house is too big for my spouse and I" (we live in a fairly small attic apartment even by Norwegian standards), but I also understand what we'd do with space.

We would have an extra room: We might have seperate sleeping quarters because my snoring wakes him. We (well, more he) would have a room for music - We have a couple of electric guitars, a bass, and an electric cello. We (me!) would have an art space. A guest room would be wonderful if family flies from overseas. We'd have a library. That's 5 bedrooms, or alternate uses of a basement or attic in a smaller 2-3 bedroom house.

I think a lot of folks simply have unused space in these, however. My parents lived in a 3600 sq ft, 6 bedroom, multiple bathroom house (build in the 1860's and renovated later on to include a garage and basement finishing) - and if it wasn't for opening their house to family or friends down on luck, it would have gone mostly unused.

Last year I wrote my own Vim plugin manager vimanage [1] that uses Pathogen and was wondering if it will still work with Vim 8. Apparently both Pathogen and vimanage work (meaning Vim didn't break the backward compatibility) but I like the idea of losing the dependency to Pathogen so I guess I have some work to do.

Those projects had to constrained themselves to having 100% of the code available, no binary libraries and lock the compiler versions being used.

Since the early 90's I keep hearing that it is possible to write safe C code, yet outside in the real world, unless constrained by processes like MISRA-C and Frama-C, which isn't really C anymore, it never works.

The proof is the amount of CVE exploits, that get reported almost daily!

In my experience working with Perl and Python most external libraries work and are well documented. Whenever I have tried JavaScript its a vastly poorer experience. Admittedly I have far more experience with the first two languages, but that would likely find more problems with Perl or Python, no?

(I don't really do PHP, but I have a feeling that I would find the experience closer to JavaScript from talking to colleagues and reading about it).

I'm not sure that a home shopping network that requires a top-of-the-line GPU like the NVidia Titan will really be viable, at least until we've taken a few more jumps on Moore's Law that it seems are getting harder and harder to achieve.
It's easier to illustrate by walking through an example timeline:

1. Framework X is created based on the vision of its founder

2. Lots of people begin to use it

3. X gets better and better (user feedback + excitement of the project's success)

4. X becomes super popular and attracts people from other frameworks

5. More and more contributors begin committing code (helpful, but hard to manage beyond a certain volume), and entropy increases - more bugs start getting through (think Rails, where there were loads of security and data loss bugs in the span of single years)

6. People bring their ideas with them, which is helpful at times, but which also begins to dilute the X creator's vision and replace it with a democratic vision (sometimes good, sometimes bad)

7. Social pressure causes the creator of X to begin changing his vision to accommodate the community

The apex of quality is at # 4, and that's the point we're approaching now. Also worth noting is that this timeline isn't always followed exactly. Take Django, for instance. It was able to keep up with community demands without caving in to too many wild requests, and it managed entropy by keeping the number of core committers to a minimum for many years.
Dear Nginx, please stop restarting with a broken config
Well, my wife and I just ordered dumb phones and an AWS 2FA key fob (remember those?) which will be here this weekend, we're selling all our screens except one family PC. I sold off my Oculus Rift and gaming PC a month ago. We're going to have to buy a flashlight, GPS or maybe just a map book, calculator, a CD player, a Blu-Ray burner, a day planner, a wristwatch, a kitchen timer, get a library card, a shared calendar on the wall, and we'll go from there. I'm excited but also nervous about it. A few months ago I spent 90% of my free time staring at a screen. I yelled at my wife if god forbid she wanted to spend time with me and not just shut up and watch whatever video game I was playing.

I figure it's a start.

Because we are not indiscriminate like that.
Two things (IANAL too, this applies to US only, etc.):

1) As I understand it, parody is not inherently non-infringing, it's just one factor that weighs in favor of a judge finding that a use is non-infringing.

2) I doubt that the DMCA allows a provider to punish copyright owners in this way (though this might be applied to YouTube's mechanisms that go beyond DMCA requirements). The law requires that "the service provider responds expeditiously to remove, or disable access to, the material that is claimed to be infringing". Intentionally delaying processing is pretty much the exact opposite of "acting expeditiously".
I have to bitch about Samsung once more, because their batteries are absolute shit and puff up even if charged with their original charger in the original phone, and so innocently the batteries' warranty is 6 month but they puff up and decrease in capacity dramatically after 7-8 months of use.
I agree, they are better and faster! But they're expensive, from an engineering-time point of view. I think that small teams with a new product would struggle to have solid native apps on ios, android, windows, osx and linux simultaneously.

I've also gotten a pretty bad taste in my mouth about some companies pushing a native app down my throat. TripAdvisor would only show me the first three reviews on a place if I was browsing via mobile, as a way to push me to download the app. And now that they're on my android they sent me a couple of spammy notifications before I disabled them. I wanted to treat TripAdvisor like a website, not like an app that has access to all phone.

I wonder what the resale value on these houses will be. In the areas these are built around me, housing prices aren't skyrocketing, so if you built and had to sell within a few years, you're probably going to take a loss unless the market changes substantially. However, these places likely have a 20-25 year lifespan for the original owners as kids are born, raised, go off to college, and then start their own lives.

There's going to be a glut of these things out there that someone needs to buy. Everyone wants new things, so why would people in 20-30 years have demands for a house that was "stylish" 20-30 years ago? I'm only in my 30's, so maybe I'm just ignorant of housing construction cycles, but it my social group, I see a lot of these things being built.

That's another reason why I want to build something more traditional -- to hopefully stand out from the pack when I eventually go to sell.
