Or, you know, maybe our founders knew a good idea when they adopted this federalism thing.

As someone born, raised in and retired to the great state of Missouri, which is also the sole state that doesn't play big brother with narcotic prescriptions, I rather like the idea of imagining that we won't combine our law enforcement agencies in such a vertical manner.
Go and memory layout
It's not updates, it's just querying, updates are not that bad, the main issue there was that the CI runner was keeping a lock in the database while going for the filesystem to get the commit, this generated a lot of contention.

Still this is something we need to fix in our CI implementation because, as you say, databases are not good queueing systems.
yep. how do you feed the appointments into your system?
Yes but all multi Tennant buildings and large buildings will be inspected. We're pretty used to this and have some of thebest earthquake engineers in the world.

Yes, but how is an inmate supposed to become 'better' in future if he (I assume this only happens to men) is treated this respectless? Maybe you are right with winning votes. But on the other hand I perceive the americans as quite human. And if voters (and politicians) want to reduce the likelyhood of inmates to slide back I think the conditions must be improved (if they really should be that bad - I somehow cannot believe this report, completly unthinkable in Europe (maybe we exagerate a bit towards the other end, don't know)
That law hasn't been used once.

It's also the same if you get government benefits. If your wealth exceeds 10.000 DKK, you will have to use your own money to get by, until you run out.

> Until now, it's been non-negotiable.

I really hate to be a random person on the internet giving personal advice but... diamonds being "non-negotiable" seems like a huge, glowing, neon warning sign. Don't be surprised to find out a bunch of other things are non-negotiable if you divorce.
I honestly don't see how companies, that aren't monetising Cassandra, providing resources to the project is a major risk to Datastax. This only improves Cassandra's mindshare in (and share of) the market, while leaving them to corner the large corporate client base as well as target their engineering efforts on things that can directly yield revenue.

Although I think you overestimate the inclination and ability of these corporations to invest - at least to date, only Apple has demonstrated any capacity or willingness to do so, and they are fairly slow about it. Their lawyers and antiquated deployments lead to very few (but quite big) improvements, and so far all of them have needed help from Datastax to be incorporated. This is despite a largeish team of people with direct experience of participating in the project; no other SV company has any such employee at present, and bootstrapping such a team would be non-trivial. Instaclustr claims they intend to do this, but it remains to be seen how successful they will be.
Interesting. I can't identify with this at all; I usually have a very conscious idea of why I do or don't like an approach. I don't have strong gut feeling about possible approaches one way or the other.
Gee, ever since she was three years old and playing with Disney dolls, e.g., Cinderella, she was dreaming of HER dream man, on a white horse, in shining armor, picking her up and carrying her off to their love nest castle on the top of the mountain.

Alas, with current economic conditions -- those suits of shining armor and white horses can really set a guy back -- she gets a guy, he did just take a shower, in blue denim on a mule?

Ah, for sure the good, old days of romance are gone with the wind forever?

But, now, with Silicon Valley and everyone making at least $10,000 a week, what's the big deal of a $10,000 diamond?

Or, suppose in 10 years she discovers it's not a diamond? And in the meanwhile the startup went public, and he got $600 million. Now that she's had her romantic heart crushed by the fake diamond, her mom, who never thought he was good enough for her to begin with, reminds her of the beautiful California community property law, and suddenly he has to pay both his lawyer's fees and hers, loses the house, the kids, the new, high end Mercedes SUV, the boat, the boat house, the kids, the three dogs, and half of what is left of the $600 million and has to pay child support for kids he can't see and alimony forever. All because he was cheap and bought a fake?

Just kidding, guys!!!! :-)!!

On the other hand, the original objectives written in the fascist manifesto were very progressive and you'll likely agree with most points.

I hear your concerns, and just want to add some recent experience that I believe is positive.

I submitted a pull request this week, and they reviewed it within hours with informative feedback.

The most recent major release overhauled their UI to use bootstrap, which has enhanced usability. They plan a REST API in the next major version.

They've been presenting new work on L3 routing over netnap ("extremely fast and efficient packet I/O for both userspace and kernel clients") which can reach line rate on 10GB networks.

Is there a contact address for basic non-technical feedback?
Mass killings are an excellent bright line test for recognizing that an authoritarian regime is spiraling out of control, but it seems like a good idea to find indicators that work a little earlier.

I kind of made one of the low-vocabulary posts on the page here, I guess that is part of the problem with our politics, that people don't really have the tools to reason about it. I would certainly defend criticism of the US as being (for a long time) excessively authoritarian and oddly patriotic a lot more strongly than I would hang on to the 'fascist' label.
Oh those are well up the North Island, they probably didn't even feel it there. Or if they did, it would have been very mild.
"My point isn't that all of those administrations were fascist, it's that each item in this list allows too much range for critical analysis."

Well, maybe any one of them taken alone. Combined together it seems to give a pretty helpful lens through which to view a society.

A related book is _Friendly Fascism, the New Face of Power in America_, by Bertram Gross. It highlights how modern "corporation/government" fascism differs from the earlier "strongman" fascism. It was written back in 1980 but is (even more) applicable today:

Yes Open-Source projects can have political issues too. I don't see how this is any different than the politics of closed source software. Why the author wants to disparage Open-Source is beyond me.
100 years ago, the proponents of the "plum pudding model" and "ether" were still alive and kicking. Good science takes time, and must account for all the evidence. Psychology won't be reduced till we achieve "computational neuroemotional physiology". Don't let an enduring discomfort with human emotions give you a scientific blind spot to human nature, otherwise your AI will have trouble finding its way out of the uncanny valley. ;)

You are right regarding many small files. Interestingly reading from many small files didn't seem to be so much of a problem with CephFS as it was to keep a large file open while reading and writing to it from thousands of processes (the legacy authorized_keys file).

Clearly CephFS as weak spots, but for what I've seen those are sports that we can work out, rough edges here and there. The good thing is that we are much more aware of these edges.

We are already working on what the next step will be to soften out these weaknesses so we are not impacted again. And of course to ship this to all our customers, either they run on CephFS, NFS appliances, local disks or whatever makes sense for them.
My tone may have been blunt but I will stand firmly behind that America's race and gender relations, despite great progress in the last few decades, leaves much to be desired and in most parts of the country it is dangerous to be a part of a marginalized group.
I hope the author doesn't get suicided by De Beers. Good luck, my friend!

Nice article but I doubt the premise. Rich people had their portraits and sculptures made long before the invention. Think on Nefertiti or the multiple depictions in Egypt. Still in Egypt, there are Fayum Portraits. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fayum_mummy_portraits

In Ancient Greece and especially Rome, there were hyper realistic sculptures of the rulers, generals and rich people. Pompeii art is realistic. Instead the article follows the path claiming that a technological invention brings with itself a change in human nature, a dubious argument always.

Even today with all the selfies, people still relate to themselves in relationship to how they are perceived by others. And there are a lot of beautiful people who think they are ugly...
I hate to come off as overly negative, but while Americans individually can seem like very nice people, that's not really our culture. Especially when it comes to prison -- very few people give much thought to rehabilitation. Prison is meant to be punishment, period. Anything that makes it more humane is perceived as making it like a vacation or something. This is why we don't put a stop to things like rape in prison, because we have completely dehumanized prisoners. We treat our pets better.
“I venture the challenging statement that if American democracy ceases to move forward as a living force, seeking day and night by peaceful means to better the lot of our citizens, fascism will grow in strength in our land.”

This sentence seems apt.
The actual fix is even easier: just declare that the minimum salary for an H1B is a million dollars per year. That will guarantee it's only used for its intended purpose of impossible-to-hire-locally skills.

Using Chrome and it is very slow to load. Never timed it. Worse than the slow loading time, for me, is there is no indicatio when it is ready for business. If I try to interact with it without waiting about 10 seconds, it sometimes locks up and I have to reload the page. Very snappy afterwards, if I have some initial patience.

Further down in section 7:

> All other non-permissive additional terms are considered “further restrictions” within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is governed by this License along with a term that is a further restriction, you may remove that term.
> 6. Controlled Mass Media

The best kind of control is when the object being controlled does the controlling themselves voluntarily. In political media, that happened a long time ago when reporters started being more concerned about "access" than reporting facts and asking politicians hard questions. The fear of "losing access" to politicians means unsubstantiated claims are rarely challenged and scandals are ignored or re-framed to not sound as offensive.

This process was amplified when CNN (and others) started pretending every story had two sides that needed equal coverage or the story would be "biased". Now any claim can gain legitimacy and unchallenged air time, with the media acting as if their claim is equally probable.

So politicians (and anyone else that wants to push propaganda) can now make any claim they want, knowing that it will go unchallenged. Even if someone argues against their propaganda, the media will present the propaganda anyway.

(and for a look at where this will evolve into, see HyperNormalisation's description of Putin's (and to some degree, Trump's) strategy of "confuse everybody by generating as many conflicting stories as possible")
Yellow sapphire is non traditional and very beautiful. If I had opted for something other than a diamond, I would have chosen something that was very different but still beautiful. My boo desperately wants an opal ring, but unfortunately opal is too soft for daily wear and tear like that, so we would have ended up replacing the stone many times over the lifespan of the ring.

Now, moissanite or CZ for fun jewellery, watches, earrings etc DOES seem like a perfect time to use those diamond-like stones!
This seems like a good setting if the preference varies.
Obviously, a passport does not avoid the facial recognition problem we're talking about here.
If you're conflicted about spending thousands of dollars for a diamond ring just give your fiance the money it would cost you to buy a diamond ring and tell her it's her decision. Most girls would think twice about spending thousands of dollars on a rock and instead spend some of it while keeping the rest for other future expenditures.
Living in Ohio, the conversations I have with his supporters here always started with the phrase "he is a businessman", a comment that always baffled me. But that is the perception.

Something to consider; large gold letters on his buildings, golden toilets, gaudy furniture, jets, and trophy wives. These are all cliche elements of the "new rich", the common guy that made to the big time. Unfortunately, this is appealing to a large segment of the population.

I used to work for a structural engineering company that had offices in both NZ and California, from what I understand the standards of earthquake engineering in NZ are higher than in California.

To be honest I think you're probably safer in a large earthquake in a post Christchurch NZ than in a small earthquake in a country that doesn't usually get them.
The fact that you have to rely on a small group of paid-for "ZCash developers" is frightening. This is the exact opposite of the way open-source security projects run, and you should be ashamed of voicing your support for it.

When you say "highly illegal", what sort of legal expertise and/or understanding of this do you have? I'm a lawyer, but don't know much about pay-to-play crimes. My understanding is that it's a pretty goddamn hard crime to prove (need extremely strong link between donation and reward), and that most of what is characterized as pay-to-play is actually legal, just the normal unseemly way politics gets done in our country. I'm no fan of Hillary, but I suspect she and her assistants are well aware of the laws, may have stretched things to limit but careful not to step over. In any case, the bald-faced statement that what she did was "highly illegal" strikes me as suspect. (The situation with email server strikes me as similar.)

True but still creepy.
My wife has a diamond engagement ring and wedding band. Since then I've bought her several cubic zirconias. I can tell the difference (I'm a geologist by training) because the CZ's have too much fire, but I'm not sure I would ever see the difference if I didn't know in advance. And moissanites are much closer even than CZ in diamond-like properties. CZ, however, is way cheaper. Like $10 for a 1-carat stone.

Could be that moissanite is just expensive enough to qualify as an engagement stone (where CS is way too cheap).
Thank you. This comment is great. The paper was over my head, or at least out of my wheelhouse. I wish I had something substantive to add, but I'll just say that comments like this are why I read this site.

In the "why?" Section he mentions how a lot of programs don't run due to the quirks of the Windows API, and he is twiddling things to fix them.

Raymond Chen in "the old new thing" (#) documents his job at Microsoft which was to basically ensure windows handled crappy API calls that third party secs would make and any upgrades or alterations would break. They explicitly added code to windows like "if running adobe XXX then make our API call YYY perform differently and not return a Null"

This was a huge Microsoft department working over many years.

You flat out cannot emulate the Windows API. You just can't.

And all to run games that people today will find amusing for less time than it takes a Venti latte to get cold.

I used MobaXterm for the better part of a year on a paid license. It was a reasonably good terminal, though I absolutely HATE the way they included the kitchen sink and then some in their app. Most of it was just cruft and they also seem to have decided not to use some standard things in terms of the GUI itself... rather than using one of the usual GUI toolkits, they seem to use something that is either home-grown or something I don't commonly see: wasn't so good on my high dpi displays.

I no longer use Moba and have replaced it with a combination of conemu (https://conemu.github.io/) for the shell improvement side (the larger rationale for using MobaXTerm in my case... MS shell being less that good), Windows Subsystem for Linux (for the cygwin stuff in MobaXTerm, and I just use SSH from there) and PuTTY Pageant for windows SSH agent and Bitvise for easy tunnels (https://www.bitvise.com/ssh-client). That may seem like a lot, but each part gets used for its strengths and its all really, really simple (and not all used at once.)

>Previously the parameters of individual identity had been limited to an individual’s interaction with the people around him and the religious insights he had over the course of his life. Thus individuality as we understand it today did not exist: people only understood their identity in relation to groups—their household, their manor, their town or parish—and in relation to God.

This is a ridiculous argument. But par for the course for what passes as serious scholarship in the humanities these days.

American Criminal Justice is particularly leaning towards the concept of Just Deserts: if someone does something bad then it is right that bad things should happen to them, without any concept of overall harm minimization.

It is a known, accepted meaningful contrast to rehabilitative justice (make the person stop being a criminal) and restorative justice (try to undo the harm that the crime caused). It isn't just a flawed overlooked system, it's a philosophical underpinning.
