Docker space consumption issues
As a sysadmin new to Docker, I support many users now using that. We are running into several space consumption issues. We have quite a few systems where /var was mounted on the root partition and docker filled that up / 100%. To alleviate that we set up a new series of systems where /var is on its own separate partition, and implemented the btrfs fs. But either way, /var/lib/docker/aufs/diff fills up the fs frequently 100%. How to clean/purge that? As root if you rm * you get permission denied on several so presumably they reference open containers/images. Another area that I have seen fill up the fs is /var/lib/docker/btrfs/subvolumes. How to clean that up safely?
The math changes for how much storage space for cars is needed, but not how much space is needed for transporting people. Changing a garage to something more useful is not exactly helping traffic jams.
Thanks for the video, really helps me understand the process.

Nigeria is not the wealthiest country in Africa, not even close. They have the highest GDP just because they have twice the population of the second most populous country in Africa. If you look at GDP per capita, they're barely scraping the top 20 of Africa [1] which, as you can expect, is not very high. It's growing, though.

We describe things using metaphors and concepts that make sense in our world. So what's your point?

Right now (and other times /new is discussed) might be a good idea, though, as people remember to check it out.
Saying "something is weird" certainly implies "this does not match my expectations."
Pretty much every comic strip ever that goes on long enough runs out of steam. Even Doonesbury, which evolved over the years as the characters aged, was IMO pretty much ready to call it a day when the daily strip ended.

But, yeah, most of the standard daily comic strips that have been recycling basically the same material for decades are pretty much there to satisfy a morning habit.
That's called state's rights and there are various legitimate reasons for the individual states to have that sort of autonomy. It is also the right of DHS to not accept ID cards that it does not feel comfortable accepting.

I wouldn't say that either side is particularly wrong in its actions.
That depends on what an individual would perceive as being useful.
The infrastructure investment is not worth it at all if you remain with low density along these lines. A land tax surcharge should be assessed on all properties that will benefit from this infrastructure.

I have not been following the project. Can somebody fill me in on what the people on GitHub were very vocal about specifically? Did they want JSON instead of XML or vice versa? Or something else?
If ETs are expected to be found, where are the Bracewell-von Neumann probes?

If any tech civilization ever launches a self-replicating interstellar probe, it would only take a few million years for the probes to reach every system in the galaxy. The observed lack of B-vN probes implies that no tech civilization has ever done so. And the probability of any civilization capable of launching B-vN probles actually doing so seems very high -- we'll be able to do it ourselves pretty soon.

You have to explain the lack of B-vN probes if you want to argue that ETs are/have been common.

(Scarier thought: if B-vN probes are inevitable, so are berserkers.)
But why would you ever want as a user to go from an AMP article to the same article but non-AMP? I could see the user going to the homepage of that site to see more similar articles (or clicking on other articles on the side), but I don't see reason why they would want to see the exact same content but slowly loaded.

And again, definitely not by pressing X. Pressing X means you're done with the article. And if you're interested, you'd press the websites logo at the top to go home, not X.
And Hearthstone isn't a demanding title, the streaming works fine but any of the "native" Tegra AAA 3D games kill the drain the device before you finish a level (30min~ and honestly even under that, some games are going to flat out at like 10).

Doesn't help that the device gets pretty darn hot also.

Portable gaming sounds fun until you remember that batteries suck, sure they've improved much but what improved is also the power management.
3D/Graphics are still a power hog, so you get a tiny package with almost no battery to speak off and a heating element all in one.

Nice thing about cheeses being named after cities/regions they were originally made in is that different languages don't use different names. Bad part is that you gain no information about the cheese itself from the name when this is done.

Yeah, my dad died in debt (Norway), and we were able to pick any personal effects of minor monetary value without issue, and then make the choice whether to take the rest of his assets and the debts, or neither.

It only really becomes an issue if you have a strong personal attachment to assets that have high monetary value, like e.g. perhaps your childhood home - otherwise it boils down to a financial consideration.
I assume that was written by a secondary account from someone here. It seems to be a common way around the HN demands for civility... :-(

Regarding the victim, my guess would be on early stages of dementia and/or emotional trauma after becoming a widow.

But if I would discuss this with a victim, I would try bringing up the psychology of a scammer. First in general terms, like the Nigeria letters, then the specifics about romance.

To really hurt someone this bad is not far from the level physical torture. It is not easy for normal people to live with the self image of destroying an innocent person's life in that way. So the perpetrators of such horrible acts have to despise and blame the victim. (This is what scare me about hateful political idealists, by the way, they tend to think people contradicting them are evil. Not an American, so this was not about the election.)

So scammers and criminals really hate and despise the victim.

(This scammer wasn't someone desperate or really poor, that is partly another discussion.)

Which gets me back to the what I comment on -- "hilop" could probably get a career in scamming, he has the right attitude to other people.
It's not bad, it's actually got some of the best game design and multiplayer options that the steep learning curve (or clunky / hard to play factor as you call it) for a console FPS shooter. A couple major faults (Oddjob) but great level design I think redeems it a whole bunch.

I'll stand by it, because later I went on to be a Half-Life and Adrenaline Gamer hardcore player, and HLDM's complexity with the long jump and tau cannon required a lot of study and practice for most. Goldeneye was a good trainer for that.

Polarization is really not going to help, in a way that's exactly what's so bad about Trump in the first place. So for all your presumed higher ground holding you're doing the exact same thing. Don't you realize that the more you create an 'us versus them' narrative the more you're aiding Trump? And if you don't realize that then maybe you'll give it some thought?

Probably not. It is in the interest of a political party to get as many people to vote as possible, legal or illegal. Because after the fact it doesn't matter. Winning is the goal, not upholding a fair and legitimate process.
Whoever wrote the texts in the New Testament was clever enough to specify it vaguely. Short, for god, can be very long for you, mere mortal. Of course, there slipped an error in some of those texts where Jesus promised that this "short" means "within the lifetime" of those who he was speaking to. But, again, the Bible is so full of much more blatant inconsistencies that this got drowned down below. The believers don't mind, though...
Yeah, they were compatible: The Wii was very similar to the Gamecube, technically.
No, he's suggesting, in exactly his own words, "many people can't separate marketing from the real world".
I wonder if we will dispense with the need for ID. Imagine borders where no passport is needed or ATM machines that just take a quick iris scan instead of a physical card. Or other emergency services such as hospitals able to check if you can pay the bills or have the required citizenship. I don't think that the crowd that have store loyalty cards would complain if CCTV rather than the card applied the perks.

In such a brave new world identity theft would be a thing of the past and everyone would have less theft to worry about. So there could be upsides for law abiding consumers and not just fascist government police forces.
I agree, their hardware sells because of their games. Profits are in game sales and not hardware though, so why sell proprietary hardware in the first place, if it just vastly limits the audience for your game sales?
Never found it, but if you build it count me in as a user. Same issue, same solution.
Programming develops the skills found in good program managers. I think it's because so many of us build things that don't exist constantly. So we build a natural intuition about what are valuable problems to solve and can do it in ways that people would never consider, even "domain experts".

A domain expert might try a naive or brute force approach to a very specific problem, while a programmer would see a graphing problem and instantly think of several different techniques to apply and be able to tell what outcome they'd produce.
> police unions had become more and more explicit in aligning themselves with Trump and the militias.

Perhaps others have different perspectives on this, but my vision of a martial law future bills the police as supportive of the existing regime, from whence they draw their tax-funded salary, not a challenger whose installation would likely interrupt the same.

Biggest pain point for the Nintendo eShop? If you own a 3DS and a Wii U and want to own a Virtual Console game for both - you're stuck with buying it two times.
I don't get it... what is exciting about a GameCube/iPad hybrid?

Why not create a VR/AR console hybrid that lets you create things at home and then experience them in the real world... digitally graffiti your town at home then go out and check out your art work and or messages? Maybe that's an app already... leave your friends messages in certain locations seen via an AR app?
I wasn't exactly replying to a nuanced post.

It is obvious to me you've barely researched what you said. Government and Californians are the only workers with any legal protections around political speech. But the laws are barely enforceable.

Twitter can say "not a culture fit" and not have to really give any more explanation. They can say "decided to go a different way." Effectively my point stands. Companies can pick and choose who they hire. A job offer is not a contract for eternal employment.

Philosophically, that is exactly how it should be. What's the point of forcing an organization to hire people they disagree with? You just flipped it from coddling one group to coddling another. And the other side will stand up and grouse.

I think we really need to rethink the point of "jobs" and how people are expected to contribute in our society. Because "jobs" will be extinct.

It sounds like in your second point you're talking about membership in the Democratic party. The OP was painting in broad strokes about society in general. Classical liberalism was typically a position taken regarding government's role. "Government which governs least governs best." But we're not talking about government. We're talking about a private organization and opinions of free people.

There was no government oppression here. This was free agency of private citizens that created this headline. What does that even have to do with "classical liberalism"?

So above all my points stand. OP was revising history to be, and his argument in general is contradictory and hypocritical.

The first iPod provided unprecedented amounts of storage in a form factor that actually fit in your pocket. They accomplished this by buying out the world's initial supply of tiny hard drives for over a year and change. This kept would-be competitors at bay, making every other 5GB MP3 player look like a giant brick by comparison.

Most of the people who were shitting on the iPod never held one in their hands.
Because there are many people who bristle at the thought of being required to possess a government-issued ID, and this would in effect be requiring that. Of course, most people _do_ have one, but there are enough who choose not to (or want it not to be a requirement for ideological reasons) that this is an obstacle.

Also, what good does that do for people who vote by mail? I live abroad, how would they check my ID exactly? I suppose we could do a public-key setup like Estonia, but I can't imagine that rollout going smoothly.
> Having the equipment ready and in action first is somehow a disadvantage by this argument, and now you're better off being later to market.

So I think it might be from an investment standpoint; just think of Tivo they made the DVR, but once others saw what they were doing there are plenty of other DVR choices and Tivo didn't win the category.

Tesla might be forging ahead and blazing the trail for others, who will actually capitalize on it.

I think that the Tesla brand is sexy enough that they'll maintain their niche (as Tivo has to some extent), I'm not sure if that will translate into investment returns.

Indeed, and I have seriously considered them for their 71% lower price than AWS Glacier and now Google's Coldline, but I wanted to point out the apples vs. oranges difference in one way each does redundancy, or not in the case of Backblaze.
Sorry, I should have said license fee payers, but that isn't as catchy.
It's not even that you have to pay a couple of bucks for an ID, it's that you have to get to a DMV, wait in line for five hours (true story, thanks Connecticut), and then get sent home because you didn't bring 8 pieces of mail sent to your previous 3 addresses, and the raised seal on your birth certificate (if you even have your birth certificate) was the wrong diameter (not quite true story, exaggerated for dramatic effect).

If my mom hadn't been there to very vocally insist that yes, that is the original birth certificate that the hospital issued after I was born, and yes she would know because she was there, then I would've had an awfully hard time getting a photo ID.

Coupled with DMV closures that (depending on who you ask) were targeted along racial lines, these little cards that we take for granted can be damn near impossible for some citizens to get.

I'm sure there's an abstraction over all of it. The game just has to support N controllers. The number of inputs necessary to drive mariokart are pretty small (turning, acceleration, menus, items). Other than maybe displaying some specific images for each controller type, I doubt the game actually cares deeply about the full vs half controller.
According to the blog they are shipping in quantity now.

You could make the same argument about having an Xbox when Microsoft already deals with computers. Why have a separate console when you can have a PC that does the same and then some?

Nintendo's first party IPs are partially what keeps it alive. Think about it. Mario and Mario Kart have more or less been the same for generations, yet people (including myself) keep coming back for more.

Also, the Wii marked a decided family-friendly focus for Nintendo. Everyone complains about Nintendo's online ecosystem being so abysmal. This is rightfully so. If you look at it from the perspective of a parent with children, it's basically the perfect platform. Aside from their IPs, Nintendo consoles don't offer much for older gamers that Sony and Microsoft does way better. However, Nintendo consoles do get tons of games that are child- and family-oriented.
For one thing, that's not what he said. That's not even a paraphrase of what he said.

Also, (aside from his non-governmental community organizing activities), he was a partner in a DC law firm for 3 years, and served on various foundation boards after that. So it's not like he's Elon Musk -- but it's safe to say he probably has more "business" experience than your average (which is to day: heads-down, "monitor tan") techie.

And it's fairly safe to say - orders of magnitude more money-managing experience.
Oh no I started a Fermi paradox thread!

I don't have time for this but I'd suggest looking into other discussions on this. The Fermi paradox opens an entire monstrous tree of possibilities, but it's not quite as simple as "there are no VN probes therefore there are no aliens."

My two favorites are:

(1) Interstellar travel might just be too damn hard. Going fast enough to get there in a reasonable time seems to require insane physicists' nightmare propulsion systems like antimatter or fusion rockets or artificial black hole drives, while taking too long means cosmic radiation has too much time to cook both organic matter and electronics... or you can't build a power source that will last that long, etc.

(2) The "uniform cooling hypothesis" -- maybe life is common but intelligences able to build (or become) VN probes are so far incredibly rare. Since the entire universe is (according to the leading theory) the same age, such things simply haven't happened yet.

(1) and (2) could work together-- maybe there are pretty advanced aliens everywhere but so far very few are advanced enough to attempt interstellar flight. If the probability of interstellar flight is less than, say, once per galaxy per billion years, then we would not see VN probes.

Neither (1) nor (2) rules out signals at all.
There's two main parts to it:

1. The actual amount of in-person voting fraud is incredibly tiny... something on the order of 30 cases per billion votes [1]. This means that any voting ID measure is basically guaranteed to interfere in more legitimate votes (easy example: ex-Amish people who never had government documents) than fraudulent ones.

2. There's a long, long history of people in the US claiming to support voter ID, while actually using the laws involved to suppress minority voters. For example, Republican legislators in North Carolina looked up data categorized by race and type of vote, then used it to remove the voting methods, days, and forms of ID most used by minorities, in the name of "protecting against voter fraud" [2].

Even more specifically a parcel tax should be created. The more units you then have in your parcel, the lower the tax will be.

I'm sure the VR/AR console you dream of would be exciting, but ultimately not something I would play regularly. I play games for the challenge, for the competition. You need two controllers and a screen to play with your friends.
There is already a line that runs on Irving/Judah - it's the N line. Goes from Van Ness through Cole Valley and then tracks through UCSF and the sunset. Switches from Irving to Judah on 9th ave.
I did the same in FO3. Decent but not outstanding games on their own but really great once the modders get going. I really like loot-driven games with more realistic gun physics (more damage taken/given, high accuracy, etc). The base FO4's weapon/armor mod system is doing much better for me than FO3 did but I still am pining for variety. I've been meaning to restart FO4 with some mods.

The performance issues were really terrible at launch. It's somewhat better now but it really prefers current-gen hardware and running from an SSD. It's really sensitive to memory bandwidth too.
