Yes, but living in developed Europe country vs SF you probably get:

1) free healthcare

2) free education for you and your children

3) better work/life balance*

4) better overall life quality*

Sum that up and you shouldn't feel that bad after all.

*unless you live in London or other overcrowded city, but you've mentioned you live in your own house, so that's probably not the case.
That looks useful, thanks

Additionally, I think a good argument could be made that anything that systemd requires to boot should be in sbin, not specifically because systemd requires it, but because it's required or useful for the boot process, as systemd has illustrated, and thus should not be relegated to /usr (depending on where you draw the line between useful and required and whether useful is sufficient to be included in /).

Something I've wanted to ask, then... Why is there a relatively short cutoff period for deleting one of your own comments?
And I believe that based on the enlisted properties/features, Elixir may qualify pretty well, too. What is more, Elixir may be a better choice in regards of time-to-market + developer happiness.
From the original article, Emacs had this feature, and then they removed it. That's crippling it. Deciding not to implement the feature in the first place, well, that's a reasonable decision given their desire for functionality to be cross-platform. But accepting it, then turning around and removing it later even though it was already implemented, that's just spite.
Apple's car project was called 'Titan'. Faraday is from a Chinese firm.
Let's see. Both Trump and the Republicans in Congress want to keep the ban on not allowing exclusions based on pre-existing conditions. How will that happen?

1. Insurance companies must cover everyone but can charge more based on pre-existing conditions. Insurance companies know acturatially how much treatment will cost based on a person's condition, so they charge that person and exhorbant amount. People complain and the government either has to subsidize the cost and pay insurance companies the difference or have the dreaded public option - just what the Democrats originally wanted.

2. Alternatively, everyone has to get coverage so you can't game the system and only get insurance when you think you will need it - an individual mandate.

Either way, all roads lead back to some form of either ObamaCare, a public option, subsidies that go directly to insurance companies, or people not being insured.
First of all, this is great, and I'm hugely in favour of something like this going forward. Great work!

...however, I strongly disagree on the benefit of making the `Pipfile` executable python. Just read this gist: https://gist.github.com/kennethreitz/4745d35e57108f5b766b8f6...

- This file will be "compiled" down to json.

Then why does it exist?

We know it'll be abused; and we should have learnt our lesson from scons and setup.py that it wasn't a great idea before, and still isn't a great idea using python code itself as a declarative DSL. Just use a standard hierarchical file format (json, toml, xml, whatever)

Features of introspecting and editing `Pipfile.lock` should be rolled into pip and exported as a core python module; an api for editing pipfile.lock is a good idea, but executing a `Pipefile`, is not.
I have also been amused by all the delusional assertions on 4chan and r/pizzagate, and I feel sorry for anyone innocent caught up in this, but this whole thing would have never caught on if there weren't real connections between the Clintons and child sex offenders.

Bill Clinton really did ride on a child sex trafficker's private jet 26 times, and really went to his private island where underage girls have alleged that they were enslaved. It's also true that underaged-sexter Anthony Weiner's computer had all of Clinton's emails on it. It's true that the Podestas are close friends with Dennis Hastert and Tony mentioned post-conviction that he's "stayed in touch with denny Hastert [...] all these years". It's true that Hillary and Cheryl Mills emailed repeatedly back and forth about child trafficker Laura Silsby, with Mills referring to her only as "Laura", and that Bill Clinton traveled to Haiti and brokered a short prison term for Silsby and the release of the other "missionaries" involved.

So, while "pizzagate" in itself may be totally false, rumors like this would not exist if the US did not consistently invite human garbage into its highest political office.
IME Haskell development has a sort of bell-curve to it. Initially, you're spending a lot of time prototyping, fumbling around trying to find the right abstractions. Here Haskell mostly gets in the way: you have to declare up-front which functions do I/O, etc.

But once the core abstractions are settled, you start to reap its power. The type system catches tons of potential errors. Combinators allow for enormous expressiveness. Here you're rolling: Haskell is in its zone!

But then you hit a wall. Laziness makes for brutal debugging. Singly linked lists actually suck. Performance optimization is a black art. You find yourself longing for a language with simple semantics and mechanical sympathy. Now Haskell is bumping up against the real world.

Haskell has its sweet spot somewhere between "bang this out by 5pm" and "ship this to a million users". (No surprise it's popular in academia.)

I think this is the correct read. I also looked in as this story was forming, and found it to be more evidence that there's currently a 'cultural chasm' in America, with each side making false assumptions about 'what must follow' based on what they see of the other side.

Here's a non-art example that I thought was culturally interesting:
https://www.reddit.com/r/The_Donald/comments/5b1qtf/comet_pi...

Jake Sullivan is going to New Haven for the day, and comments that he'll be "eating some pizza". Hillary Clinton chimes in and says "Have a slice for me!". So the question on Reddit is "WHO THE FUCK ACTUALLY CARES TO LET SOMEONE KNOW THEY ARE GOING TO EAT PIZZA..."?

And then a couple other people on Reddit answer, well, actually, New Haven is well known within certain circles for its excellent pizza, and actually it's fairly common for "hipsters" to "gush" about it with their friends. But I don't doubt that for many this sort of enthusiasm for the perfect slice is so foreign that "pedophilia" would in fact be a more believable explanation than "foodie".

To be clear, I totally get the benefits of formal support for an "actual versions last used". That is a topic near and dear to my heart, having been burnt by floating versions more than once. It's just that I don't want to swallow a too-flexible DSL in order to get that benefit, because I've also been burnt multiple times by using a DSL when a declarative data format will suffice.

And you don't need both. You can pip freeze a frozen_requirements.txt. You can ship around a whole virtual environment. And I can conceive of more requirements.txt 2.0 solutions that don't require over-wrought DSLs.
In general, when you see a climber bearing down on a tiny crimp that fits the very tip of just one finger, seeming to support his body weight on it, that is exactly what is happening. His feet will be on holds that are considerably worse.

The amazing thing is that if you apply yourself to climbing and train for a few years, you will be able to move off similar holds in similar positions.

It's a pretty cool feeling.
mojang? could someone please inform me how it's related? (mentioned in the article that this tech comes from mojang, the makers of Minecraft (?!?!?!))
Due to the high traffic volume, they peer with most large providers. Of course they need to pay rent on the fiber that they rent between DCs and peering points, but at this level the cost should be rather low. And a lot of the traffic will be free, especially in Europe where you can peer with many providers on exchanges.

> A large portion of the black untaxed money is untraceable in the form of cash, so getting them into banks and taxed is the first step.

6% is cash (as an estimate from last year's tax data), not a large portion.

Source: http://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/cash-has-only-6-sha...

Even this 6% is not all going to end up in bank accounts and taxed, because the government is insisting on a 200% penalty on the computed tax. So if you do declare your sacks of cash at this point, you'll be charged 90%, on top of which there is no guarantee that the Income Tax department will not go over the rest of your life with a fine-toothed comb. They probably will.

So IMO a large chunk of this 6% will be laundered (including converting to new, valid notes) for something like a 20%-30% loss.
Let's see the US government do it; it'll be the end of the dollar. People around the world presently rely on the dollar; they'll eagerly move to an anonymous cryptocurrency (not Bitcoin).

While I agree with the issues that may stem from using code to express dependencies, there are upsides. I think the main deficiency in Python is the need for virtual environments per project (and the fact this requires a separate tool).

If this Pipfile.lock approach allows me to always have the correct package versions without virtualenv, it's a huge step forward.
It's not a partisan complaint. I've seen plenty of fake stories circulating on the left too. Though the conspiracy theories seem much more elaborate on the right.

That would go a way towards understanding the over-inflated egress (bandwidth out) costs, if S3 did not already charge for disk reads.

S3 already have request pricing in place: https://aws.amazon.com/s3/pricing/#Request_Pricing

In addition to that, the pricing for "Data Transfer OUT From Amazon S3 To Internet" is exactly the same as for "Data Transfer OUT From Amazon EC2 To Internet", so this is not specific to S3 but to EC2 and AWS as a whole it seems.

AWS appear to have really expensive egress costs (or really profitable egress margins) compared to OVH and Hetzner. If so, then something is stuck, either the costs are not being addressed or the margins are not being passed on.
It shouldn't take very long to copy a couple gigabytes (and it's usually not more than a couple) from RAM to RAM on docking. And a clever memory controller could copy it only when the memory is first demanded by the docking station CPU.
I use my Synology NAS pointed at Google Nearline (through the included S3 support!). GCS also supports customer supplied encryption keys, but I store the bytes as encrypted on the NAS box itself.

Well, you might be upsetting me, but not because you are saying something that offends me, but because you don't seem to address my objections, instead just repeating your claims in some form or another, which makes for a very frustrating experience.

It's not that everything you say is wrong, but your conclusion crucially depends on this one central question of whether it is actually more effective at achieving the (implied) goal if you were to try and actually implement it, which seems highly questionable to me, but which you don't even acknowledge is your burden to show. You seem to assume that universal transparency is easier than universal privacy, and based on that you put forward arguments for why a transparent society would be better if it did exist. I might even agree with that conclusion based on that assumption. The part that's missing is how that applies in the real world, how that assumption is actually true in the real world--and my strong suspicion is that that's where your whole idea falls apart in practice, because you are simply ignoring how human psychology and power structures actually work, arguing instead from a completely unrealistic model of power structures that happens to support your conclusions.

I'm sure you believe it very strongly, and even that you have given it a great deal of thought. But have you tried to tear it apart? Do you know how to falsify your idea, do you know what it would take for you to accept that it's all wrong? If not, you might just be reinforcing your own biases without any connection to reality.

This sounds like something that should have a simple description, but I'm not sure the article tells enough to work out what it is.

(Unless the simple description is Not Invented Here syndrome, which I imagine it's not).

It's based on the XS1. For the follow-on, the xCORE-200, the flyer mentions twice the memory. Since the smallest xCORE-200 has 256 KiB, I'm guessing the XS1 might have 128 KiB.

There's a dev kit based on the xCORE-200, for 10 X the price ($150), but it includes a 1 GbE interface which makes it a lot more interesting IMO.

Interesting architecture. Makes a ton of sense for embedded apps (which obviously was the point).

Very interesting approach. Could you please provide a hosted version of the demo, that can be viewed on mobile clients?
There's a typo: "bootsrap" -> "bootstrap"

Also, the demo download link seems to point nowhere.
I don't really understand the advantage. Getting a small vps with nginx is fast to set up, needs very little maintenance and can handle a large amount of traffic (requesting static pages). Can't really see how S3 can be cheaper or easier.

Yes it gives some scalability, but so do many cloud providers. Digitalocean and Vultr both have SSD storage that you can attach to VMs. The speed I've seen is fast enough to easily saturate the bandwidth. Of course you'd need to scale up when you need bandwidth of more than 100mbit, but this is still cheaper than paying for AWS bandwidth and servers.
I've always identified with ProDOS.
That's exactly why I started Ploid.

A consulting customer came to me a year ago, with a growth from 200TB/year in data production to over 6PB/year and their budget couldn't sustain that jump (or anywhere close to it)

Having come from the mass-facilities and data center space with MagicJack, I knew the wholesale cost of bandwidth, power and drives were continuously falling.

There are certain clients and use cases that need access to their data all of the time and the very bones they are built on is based on collaboration (Genomics).

For example, this client is now storing 6PB of data with us, 3 copies in separate data centers. We are half the price of S3, and we include all the bandwidth for free, but limited to a 10GigE per PB stored. This has worked out extremely well - we were about 20% (!!!!) the price of Amazon after you factor in bandwidth.

There are lots of challenges we faced, like over zealous neighbors in the environment, storing lots of small objects and high usage of ancillary features like metadata but for customers of any size. By putting the "tax" on bandwidth, a lot of these business cases are solved. I see why Amazon does that.

AWS is truly great, but as you get into very high scale (specifically in storage - 2PB+), it becomes extremely cost prohibitive.

I love the folks at backblaze but the single datacenter thing really worries me (and again, disclosure, I work on Google Cloud). If you're just using it as another backup, maybe that's less of a concern: your house would have to burn down at the same time that they have a catastrophic failure. But it is part of the reason you see S3 and GCS costing more (plus the massive amount of I/O you can do to either S3 or GCS; I'd be curious what happens when there's a run on the Backblaze DC).

Again, huge disclosure: I work on Google Cloud.
Certainly it takes less time to do cross platform development properly than improperly..
Reminds me of time that I was working as a clerk and doing CS part-time. It was the early days of computers in the office and was asked how do these magic machines work?

I think that this style of climbing resonates a lot better with the general public because it does such a good job of conveying difficulty.

If you look at a photo of Adam on one of his 9b's [1], it looks like a guy having a really hard time in a really steep place, but there are holds there. You see things that seem like a fella could hang from them.

Compare to the photo in the article, with its dead vertical, mile-high flat granite surface that's, well, kinda bumpy. There is nowhere in that image that the layman could picture himself existing for even a second before falling off.

It's a shame, in a way, that we sort of climbed off the top of the feasible difficulty for this style of route back in the '90s and had to turn to steeper, longer routes. You just don't get the captivating photos like you used to these days.

I couldn't believe there wasn't a number in the 2^64 space that did this. However, after exhaustive internet searching I couldn't find one. So I went to sleep, woke up in the middle of the night with a headache and idea of a method to try and actually derived it.

Having derived it, I did some searching with the search engines and couldn't find any hits either in its decimal or hexadecimal from so called it Ben's Magic Number

I will write a blog post on the method I used."

Then:

"I tried to come up with a similar magic number that would allow to obtain the index after shifting its bits, and found a different one.
Wouldn't this number just do the same and be a bit easier to understand? 0x01020304050607
We know that after doing x=(v & (-v)) we get a power of 2, which when multiplied with the magic number will shift its bits by a multiple of 8 positions:
So after being multiplied by x, 0x0001020304050607 is turned into

0x0304050607000000 when shifted by a 3-byte offset
0x0405060700000000 when shifted by a 4-byte offset
0x0506070000000000 when shifted by a 5-byte offset
and so on...
We then simply have to read the 1st byte of the resulting number to find the offset, ie:
offset = (((v & -v) * Magic) >> 56) & 0x7"

Followed by:
