We got a lot of complaints about that weird scrolling behavior - thank you for your own complaint which surely pushed us closer to ripping it out.

I can confirm that nobody that works at rsync.net is not an actual UNIX engineer. You will never talk to anyone here that isn't an expert.

Rare these days, but sometimes you'll even talk to me.
Just to be clear, systemd is not part of the Linux kernel.

Also, if you are going to make a broad claim like that I would appreciate some citations/examples. I have no idea if you are wrong or right on the whole, but without examples I can't learn myself.

Could you create a tabbed interface that is just a dumb view of a server state communicated over websockets? Then the user could just open the page in n windows (each on its own tab) and have the same state represented in each?
Seconded. Chrome used to crash ~1/month on me but ever since I started using The Great Suspender I haven't had a single incident and it's been well over a year.
You nailed it. The best manager I had was the one who knew everything about the project, diligently updated all KPIs and not only did normal PM work but went beyond that when needed. I still remember the day when she needed me to work on weekend, she was so apologetic came early morning to pick me from home, dropped me back and always made sure everyone in the team was satisfied. She truly embraced servant-leadership.

Eusocial insects like honeybees, some wasps, and ants take this even one step further by combining the extraordinary but limited powers of one individual insect to make highly-complex decisions with the coordinated input from thousands or millions of individuals. It's often stated that after humans, these eusocial insects are the most advanced life form on earth. After studying, for example, the fascinating voting process of how honeybees choose a new home during swarming, I am in full agreement.
> OMICS International, a publisher Beall has previously described as “the worst of the worst,” in 2013 threatened to sue Beall, seeking $1 billion in damages.

$1 billion in damages? Against a librarian? It seems like OMICS International has confirmed they're the worst of the worst.
I'm focusing my product for indoor growers and my research has brought me to some players that have solved some of the automation issues. The two larger names are Dimlux Lighting and Smart Bee Controllers.
It's just a matter of what you're used to. I think higher frame rates look great! If you had grown up watching 60fps movies, and then someone released a 24fps movie, you'd complain that it looked rough and jittery.

I never watched soap operas and very little sports coverage so I probably don't mentally associate clear images and high frame rates with those types of content.
The real human support via email is fantastic. You don't need to log into the portal to get the response from their staff. I migrated from bup to Borg and they sorted out the issue via email relatively painlessly. Definitely a feature that I would not have valued before needing it.
Why does it take so long to connect to a wifi network?
I'm not saying that the CIA/NSA should track every non-American in the world even if they had the ability. But I am saying that is their codified mission and the reason they exist. We can debate who they should be spying on and the most efficient use of their limited resources, but at the end of the day they are going to be spying on people.

Most Americans have a big problem with them spying on Americans (at least of those I've spoken to, and I am not living in a Democratic area like SF or NYC) but no problem whatsoever with them spying on anything else inside or outside of the US.
So you get to use 1% CPU, effectively. The timer test seems strange, why was your "simple setInterval" using so much more than 1% CPU?
To extend this idea, you can see Siri (Alexa) and some sort of AR device in the near future. These could be centered around the iPod/iPhone ecosystem.
The idea is very good. And it was good in a short term (6 months), but after a while its get too time consuming and cumbersome. The analog thing is not that easy to manage for me that I'm always in front to a PC. Adding tasks is also a problem sometime for me. I ended up having a stick note on the desktop and list the things i've to do there. I think that it didn't work for me beacuse I don't have tasks that I can fill in. I just do things that pops in.
However, since I've the black bullet journal I may start using it again.

PS: I supported their kickstarter campain
Is this feature enabled on the beta channel of Chrome builds?
3D takes up time slots that could otherwise go to 2D showings, so it's zero-sum and the mentality is logical and reasonable for 2D fans to celebrate the decline of 3D. The faster the 3D showings phase out, the faster the movie-going experience returns to its former convenience of having all showtimes be acceptable. Or not having to go to a worse theater that has a 2D showing at the only available time.

Nobody's trying to oppress you personally or trying to control your experience out of principle. (I hope.)
If it has seen millions more of both things than any human, then I don't find it hard to believe that it could distinguish them better than most humans.
They throttle timer activation frequency if you use too much CPU time (with the goal of throttling CPU usage). How is the title not accurate?
Will they? Baby boomers are moving into cities too.

the only time any politician cares about voters opinion is elections. after that, the choice was made and that's it.

I mean, I like your enthusiasm, just wondering how come you didn't adjust it with reality of these days.
I think the difference is that while you are coding Python in a C style the code is working. The front loaded nature of Rust means that you are in a constant fight to get something to run.
You are confusing the distinction between a cache & a non-durable datastore. Of course Redis is not a database, did I say it was?

Data is implicitly removed from a "cache" in course of normal operation.

In this debate, we should look to cities in other countries. As I understand it, Paris/ Vancouver/ London/ Tokyo etc have never been subject to the "rule" that young couples move to the suburbs once they are ready to raise families. Nor are they subject to the rule that cities are dangerous and have bad schools. If we can fix schools and crime, like other civilized nations, then there is no reason to believe people will move out of cities once they reach a certain age.
politicians absolutely pay attention to phone call numbers.
This would be great. At the very least, I'd like the power to un-throttle a tab myself if I decide to do so - even if there's no prompt, it's important to me that I can let a process run full-speed in the background. Losing that would actually decrease the value of Chrome quite a bit for me.
Maybe. My guess is that the TV divisions of these companies just don't spend a ton of market research effort on post-purchase usage patterns. You've bought a big TV and likely won't buy another one for years. It's the next consumer's level of interest in various features they'll spend money to learn.
Probably because Murdoch thinks dividing countries from each-other makes them easier to manipulate. He's rather like Putin in that respect.
Reason 3: some of the ads are a downright scam.

Seriously, using some free apps makes me feel like it's 1998 again with the "you are visitor number 1,000,000" and "your phone might have a virus - click here for free removal" ads. I would not be comfortable with a kid playing games containing ads like that.
Awesome service! Thanks for sharing :)
LibreOffice contributor interview: Tamás Bunth
I agree, ayende is a C# person, he's well aware of statically typed languages.

I also agree about your other points, I think maybe one of these days the borrower will become more sophisticated, but these issues he's complaining about are the exact reason I put Rust down. It just felt too sophomoric, as if the language wasn't really ready.

Not all is bad, I really like the way errors are handled in Rust, but there are definitely some problems with the approach they take.

interesting!!try it
The problem is that you have many things to configure instead of just one. That is a problem as we humans have a limited capacity for remembering things. On top of that polkit is basically javascript and xml (i think), and one can not expect everybody to understand javascript or have the patience to read/write xml. Now, in addition to groups and users (and advanced fs permissions and app/se/linux/armor), you have polkit and dbus permissions. This makes it really hard to look at something and know what it can do. For example steam, when you start it up, asks NetworkManager to bring up an internet connection. To disable that one has to write javascript.

In short, it's a clusterfuck. Even if everything worked properly (that is hard with Turing complete configuration files) it is still too vague, too big of a load to administrate. I expect the fd.o/fedora peoples answer to that (when people start complaining, that is) to be a GUI, not a rewrite.
Using Amazon Cloud Drive for commercial purposes is prohibited. Also, in my experience it is far less reliable than AWS with random unavailable, slowness and API errors.
part of it was, that all previous Presidents were capable. They had policy experience; they were public servants for a large portion of their lifetimes. Now we have, for the first time in history, a rampant capitalist businessman of questionable history. His first acts are to jam the executive branch with others like himself (including friends and family). Its alarming at many levels, not just security.
It could also be a permission granted to a Progressive Web App once the user has decided to install it.
Holy shit, did you just say "colored people" in 2017? That's not cool, anymore, dude
That's a pretty broad brush. I'm sure there are good people working for the CIA, and the NSA, just as I'm sure there are good people (and bad people) in every organization.

The minute you say "anyone associated with _____ is automatically a bad person" it becomes us v. them and all discourse and nuance is lost. Both sides just get entrenched and yell at each other and before you know it we have, well... last Friday.
Agree with this. The article seems quite focused on politics and Trump. It even ends on: "Most likely I will not watch The Sound of Music again for a long time, four or maybe even eight years..." Italics mine.

In addition to the politics, the author did appear to at least want to comment on art too, how art is made and consumed right now. For whatever reasons, maybe too nervous to try such a thing on the Paris Review Crew readers who know better, beyond a couple "ironically" mild suggestions on passivity and "art being good is not the same thing as art doing good", the author doesn't say much about TSOM or art in this thing.

I kind of feel bad for her (assuming it's a her), she seems to still like/want keep watching this movie "in spite of herself" and the political climate notwithstanding. I guess it's all fun and games, until people you don't like get elected. VonTrapped is right.

> Measuring memory usage is hard ...

Exactly, I usually find that chrome is eating a little more than what it's displayed in task manager in windows ;) I have no idea how it can achieve that to be honest. Restarting it seems to bring back the 5-15% missing ram in my case.
Thank you. On your last sentence, I am debating that. I'm going to try the photo/OCR features in Evernote/OneNote. I feel there is a lot to gain by me doing the work instead of outsourcing it in terms of revisiting the information to help build long term memory.
If it did change, I don't think that minor point disputes the deportation trend under Obama. What percentage of overseas immigrants take this risky (and expensive) route of arriving at a US border without a visa or some other immigration arrangements? Probably not a huge percentage. Vast majority of immigrants to US are still from Mexico so I doubt the numbers would be skewed significantly enough for it not to be comparable to previous presidents.

Here are some number showing ONLY interior removals:
https://object.cato.org/sites/cato.org/files/wp-content/uplo...

But yes border removals also jumped as well.. Maybe there is already a wall there? Here is a breakdown of deportations by three categories (border, interior and unknown)
https://object.cato.org/sites/cato.org/files/wp-content/uplo...

Certainly much of this is due to better tracking (dimishing of the unknown category), tighter enforcement, and more efficiency, but none of those arguments dispute the trend of higher deportations under Obama simply because it doesn't fit the overall narrative of Obama as a "compassionate" president.
>Plenty of tech-savvy people are hung up on 24fps or vinyl, too. It can happen to anyone.

Maybe take the opposite reading of this observation? E.g. that those tech-savvy people know what they are talking about, and are not merely nostalgic or whatever?

First, vinyl vs mp3/WAV is not the same as 24fps vs higher frame rates, and conflating technical issues (each with their own characteristics and/or tradeoffs) is not really illuminating the subject matter.

Some things are not merely an issue of "technological capability" but tied to human physiology (the eye, etc).

The same way that a screen with 50,000 lumens is not naively "brighter = better" but blinding, or a 150dB headphone is not "louder = better" but physically damaging the ear.

Yeah, 150dB dynamic range is great, but nobody can hear it, and nobody can tolerate the upper range of volumes it takes to reproduce the full range on a speaker.

With color, on the other hand, it's not like that. The more, the better (24bit, 32bit, 64bit, etc).

With fps, again, there are issues related to the eye, how the "afterimage" works, when visual information becomes too distracting or overbearing, etc.

Note also that we, for example, have been technically lowering the resolution of photographs (smoothing the skin) to make portraits appear more pleasant since forever. It's one of the main staples in fashion and magazine portrait photography.

And that's not because "some old-fashioned people like smoother skin vs detailed skin". It's inherently better looking unless one likes wrinkles, pores and detailed nose hairs.
Next year they will stop making the curved TVs. Thankfully they haven't come up with a new gimmick yet.
Instead of unsafe, as much as possible should be looking at interior mutability, Cell and RefCell allow for this, with no unsafe, and they guarantee for you at runtime that what you believe is accurate.

unsafe should be IMO, reserved for only those cases where strictly needed, e.g. FFI is the clearest example.

Nope - it's fairly happy to choke everything else or even crash (tabs or the browser) when RAM gets too scarce. It does seem to have some capability to restrict usage, but it's not thorough enough to avoid performance/crashing issues.

The same can be said of C and C++, at which point, why does it matter if you use Rust?
It's a confusing term, but I don't think he means Bipolar in the clinical sense. The two poles here are the brilliance/failure dichotomy that he goes on to explain.

Two observations:
1. Drones are currently offering good heuristic tools for farmers to be better aware of what their fields really look like. Multi spectral cameras, cheap drones, and rudimentary tool sets have really opened the door to optimize. However, not enough is currently being done to turn those visual heuristics into data that can be acted upon. (No double blinds, poor color calibration, limited software platforms that don't allow time-series data to be used well.) We are still in the observation phase, no measurement, statistics, or predictions are really happening yet.

2. I've heard from several farmers that they desperately want a good sensor that indicates free carbon in the soil so they have a proxy for microbial content. Just as gut bacteria has been a major topic of research on humans, soil microbial content serves that same purpose on farms. Significant effort is going into adding organics and microbes back to specialty farms, however, the measurements to observe how this is done are very limited.
"Why not S3?"

S3 is a great solution and we have nothing negative to say about it. I will note that our special 'borg' pricing gets you down to 3 cents, and we charge nothing for usage/bandwidth/transfer, so pricing-wise, we're about the same.

The main thing that differs (and this is important to some people) between S3 and rsync.net is that rsync.net gives you an honest to god blank unix filesystem to do what you please with.

So while there are many very nice tools that target S3 natively, you can't do magical things like this:

pg_dump -U postgres db | ssh user@rsync.net "dd of=db_dump"

ssh user@rsync.net "git clone git://github.com/freebsd/freebsd.git freebsd"

ssh user@rsync.net "test -f fileThatExists"

ssh user@rsync.net du -Ahd2 some/directory

Although it's worth noting that we do maintain 's3cmd' in our environment, so you can do things like this:

ssh user@rsync.net s3cmd get s3://rsync/mscdex.exe
An argument from the market: do you realize that current vertical farms should demonstrate crazy margins to justify the move to less profitable crops? According to [1], you can sell a cup of micro greens for $5. You will likely need a few times more space (and likely ten times more time) to grow a single soybean plant. The plant will produce a few soy beans that you can sell for less than a cent. How can this be profitable even in a distant future?

The theoretical maximum efficiency of solar panel is around 30%. So 70% of solar energy is already wasted compared to growing stuff in a field, which means that even if the batteries, transmission lines and LEDs are perfect (they are not), you have to cover three times as much land with solar panels as you would have covered with plants. It also seems that you would prefer growing stuff 24/7, for this one needs to compensate for the time when sun isn't shining, which means 9x land. It seems to me that vertical farming will be even more disastrous for the nature than "traditional" one.

No, you don't get to use 1% CPU. That would still work. The problem is that you get to use 100% of CPU but only 1% of the time.
I've seen several waiting games already that choke on Chrome, and have settings to activate a worker that keeps them unthrottled. Looks like this will break all of those solutions.

Living with roommates and living in small quarters as well as spending half of your money on housing is okay when you are single and having fun exploring your self and your potential and direction --but once people have children equations change and living in the city becomes less possible --mostly because of the lack of "family-centric" housing stock --whether detached units or multi-bedroom condos and apartment units along with city amenities for kids as well as good school systems. In SF, for example, bad school districts is a very big reason for people to leave for better districts --some parents of means will remain but put their kids in private schools, obviously that does not scale.
I've read that some theatres reduce the brightness to extend the life of the projector light bulb.

I generally am not a fan of 3D, but my theatre seems to light 3D movies perfectly, while their 2D showings often seem dark.
I think that's pretty unlikely.

Yes, this article hardly understands geometry, and the author has the guts to say they "conquer math". A unit circle does not mean you know anything about math.

No problem. I haven't been to a 3D movie anywhere, ever. I used to go to lots of them. Now I hardly set foot in a theatre. So I voted with my feet - until the 3D fad passes, I'm good with Netflix thanks.

Sure. Without government intervention you will need privacy technology to keep your life private.

My point is that any of that technology can be made illegal in an instant, making it completely irrelevant.

Without political rights and protections, privacy technology is worthless.

Geometry and art are definitely related, and you need to know the equations to generate the drawings. It's amazing how much possibilities are open once you know some basic high school math (see my book https://gum.co/noBSmath).

This article is also a nice example of just-in-time learning: learning new material is so much more fun when you have a concrete goal in mind, rather than relying on a "you'll use this later"-promise.
