IIRC, Microsoft tried to build something along those lines with the Singularity research operating system - it did not use virtual memory to isolate processes from each other, but it strongly restricted how processes could exchange data, thus getting pretty much the same isolation level conventional operating systems get by using virtual memory.

I even think the source code to Singularity has been released under an open source-ish license, if you want to look into it.
Similar incident was reported last October.

I would like to agree with you, but if you get a large enough group that believes that fiction is truth, that can do a lot of harm to the people who actually do believe in facts.

That's where I (personally) draw the line on everything: do literally whatever the hell you want, as long as you aren't harming anyone else in the process. Obviously there are nuances, and sometimes causing some harm in the pursuit of the greater good is acceptable, but I think this principle is a sound starting point.

And that's the thing. You can be a climate-change denier all you want, but once that starts affecting public policy, that's a problem, because, for example, eviscerating the EPA will have far-reaching, long-term, negative effects on life on our planet.
I guess what this makes me think about is, part of being an adult is doing things you don't necessarily like.

A company gathering, a few hours a couple times a year, that should be something a person can tolerate. They're your coworkers, you know them all to some extent already, and it's an evening or whatever once a quarter.

Especially since your managers will already know you pretty well.

I don't know, it's hard to be sympathetic, cause there are lots of awkward situations I just put up with in my day-to-day, that are a lot higher-pressure than that.
More importantly for some, it's a 95W AMD part vs a 140W Intel part. If the power delta stays the same even for mainstream parts, does this mean AMD will become a good quiet option too?

By quiet I mean "I can't hear it at night" not "I can't hear it over the music".

Edit: Also, I think data centers these days are limited in density by power delivery and cooling. Even a 25W delta adds up when you're talking about thousands of servers.
If you go to CNN.com (or Fox, or MSNBC or whatever) right now, you'll find that almost everything is fully true.

Find me a story in today's news that is 'not true'.

You probably can't. That's what I mean by 'mostly true' or credible.

I agree that sometimes, some of their stories are not true.

But this is rare.

And of course they all have their biases.

And yes, Greenwald and Wikileaks also have biases.
tmsu (https://github.com/oniony/TMSU/) is working on that. It's a project to give tags on all the files you care about and then lets you query them either manually on the command line, or through a virtual file system where each "subdirectory" is actually a "and this tag as well". For more complicated queries such as the one you want, it is possible to directly cd into a complicated query; see https://github.com/oniony/TMSU/wiki/Virtual-Filesystem#queri... for instance.

There's an interesting question by user IanDrake further down on this page on how the voting works. Can you address that?
Fair enough, but this is a bit more concrete than marketing fluff.
Questioning established beliefs and fact should absolutely be encouraged. But that questioning must be grounded in a good-faith, logical, reasonable belief that contrary evidence exists. When mountains of evidence are provided that support existing facts, and you are unable to come up with any persuasive evidence or avenues of research to contradict those facts, you are an idiot and have no place influencing or making public policy.
MSM are losing the status as the gatekeepers of dispensing news, boohoo. They have done that to themselves.
No, I agree. The Nordics is swinging above its weight.

But I think all cultures have their reasons to not create more amazing things. The Nordics have a lot of investors preferring safe returns, and therefore perhaps the same within the entrepreneur communinuty.

Well, yes and no. Does the media sometimes present propaganda and fake news as fact? Sure. Not always, but sure, it happens. Calling out specific media outlets when they do this is absolutely necessary. Of course, labeling media as fake news simply because the facts they report disagree with your ideology is dishonest and reprehensible.

It wouldn't surprise me if supermarket eggs are just selected, with any that aren't clean being thrown out.
I agree with you, of course ALL investors prefer companies to "burn out than to fade away."

BUT - at the same time all cultures have their issues. I think the Nordics are "punching above their weight" statistically. But at the same time, we are held back by honestly a fear of "beeing seen."

I have no problem with founders aiming for building stable good lifestyle companies or even consultancy shops. But then they should say that. If they are raising money, then by god they have to play the investor game.

I am looking into replacing my home server / NAS, and I considered the atom server chips, but they seem just so expensive for their computing power, and also not very power efficient.
The 8 core C2750 has a passmark of 3800[0], with an abysmal single thread performance of 579, and still has a TDP of 20W, and the mobo+cpu assemblies go for ~400$.

For way less, if you're willing to five up on ECC, you can get an i5-7500T and a pretty good motherboard, bringing your TDP to 35W but having a passmark of 7055, and most importantly, a single thread rating of 1924.

This might not matter much if you're use is exclusively NAS, but I will probably end up running some virtualized or containerized server, or streaming video possibly transcoding on the fly, and I'm afraid the Atom might become a bottleneck.

Is there a solution that is somewhat competitive with the i3/5/7 on price and power, and has ECC? And, ideally, that comes in a Mini-ITX form factor?

[0] Obviously the PassMark score is only a ballpark estimate to get an idea of how fast is a chip, but still.

ask them to connect to arbitrary hosts. There are still a lot of those

Yep, I get that and I understand the problem you're describing is an actual problem. I just don't think 'endpoint hands over its plaintext' is the right solution.

I would definitely like to be able to sniff Dropbox and see what it's sending

Well, I'm sure you can, it's just not as easy as firing up tcpdump. But if you wanted to you could, it probably won't even take you long. 'It's not as convenient as firing up tcpdump' is still not a strong argument for 'just hand over the plaintext', in my mind.

I'll wrap this up with a story you might have also seen play out over twitter the last couple of months. Tavis Ormandy, a security engineer currently working on Project Zero at Google has been dissecting various AV products and finding them riddled with pervasive and gross security holes up to and including intercepting TLS traffic and then screwing it up so badly as to make it highly vulnerable.

The response from one vocal AV expert has been 'well, we wouldn't have to do that [and screw it up] if you gave us a tap/API into the plaintext so we can keep you all safe'. The predictable retort of security engineers has been 'LOL, NO'. I think ultimately, that 'LOL, NO' is what you're up against rather than some rando ranting at you on a message board. Enjoyable as it has been!
The "sheaf axioms" define what it means for a "rule" associating "data" to open subsets to be a sheaf, and I was just trying to illustrate them with the example of "F". (Perhaps calling them "properties" or "laws" -- or even an interface or typeclass! -- might help?)

In general, proving that something that looks like a sheaf really is one may be nontrivial. :)

In the special case that I outlined above, it certainly is easy to show that F satisfies those axioms, as you point out. And it is a sheaf (the sheaf of continuous real-valued functions on R) precisely because it does.
I tend to go to bed around 11pm each night and awake at 7am (even on the weekends as I have young kids) and I still feel like I am lacking sleep and I am often tried during the day. This I know is direct a result of my (poor) quality of sleep. I often wake up in the middle of the night and have trouble getting back to sleep. I have tried a few things to address this: sleep apnoea tests, having coffee cut off at 2pm, I run redshift on my laptop (light balancer). I don't smoke or drink and I am not over weight.

I feel I still have a ton of sleep debt from my two children. Prior to having kids I never felt tired and could have really long deep sleeps. My wife then had our first and then second daughter and its not to often I have had a night of sleep without someone waking up the family at 3am in the night. They are getting better now (3 & 7 years old), but my sleep is not recovering with them maturing in their own ability to sleep all night.

I often joke to my wife I would like to be hospitalised for two weeks and put on a large dosage of Morphine coupled with a food drip and just crash for two weeks.

I do need to get on top of this though, as it really can interfere with my work (programmer). I feel tired a lot. I work from home, and I quite often pull out the futon in my home office and crash for 30 minutes in the afternoon.

From the article "One concrete thing before you start to work through conflict is to always remind yourselves: You’re on the same team."

...yet, this is actually not obvious to many co-founders. I angel invest and see this problem over and over -- situations where co-founders are not on the same team but rather on either multiple teams or have misaligned incentives.

before any of what is discussed in the article, co-founders need to ensure -- in writing -- not only their roles/responsibilities but outside commitments, especially paid outside commitments. Companies where one partner takes undue risk (e.g., giving up a job while the other has not) are incredibly fragile, yet this is often not discussed by many. In such situations, the co-founders are not actually on the same team entirely.

EDIT: Another bad situation -- one where one founder has a much longer tolerable horizon (perhaps they are rich, perhaps they have side incomes) and another founder seeks a quick exit at a lower figure (perhaps because they cant stay on a founder's salary for too long.)

I fully understand that - and that's a good point.

However, it's not necessarily the logic on which the case should hinge.

Tunisia is the #1 source 'per capita' of ISIS/AlQueda memebers - but they won't be on any list. Why? Because their government works actively against terrorism, and really does help the US. When a Tunisian wants to enter the US, US customs can say "hey, is this a bad guy" and Tunisia will respond with something reasonably credible. Ditto for Saudi.

Yemen, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Iraq (because of W. Iraq), can't do that today. Iran won't.

Moreover - the issue is not 'whether we should ban people from there or not' - the issue is 'how the press chose to present the facts'.

Fareed made a good case for why the ban is bad. (Which I agree with by the way!) But he didn't offer objective analysis. He was 'advocating'.

A system to organise projects
This article talks about France, but highlights also Sardinia which is part of Italy.
It is quite interesting to look how some of those recommendations change in the
industry over time (to a degree you can make such general statements). For
example in Clean Code, Robert Martin argues against the idea of encoding type
information into names (e.g., Hungarian notation suggested here) given that
this can readily provided by IDE instead and enforced by strongly and static
type system. Though, he _does_ recommend encoding information about arguments
into function names.

It seems that this recommendation to a large degree is a reflection of tools
used. Nowadays it wouldn't be completely unusual for an IDE to show formal
parameter name along with actual argument values passed, thus obviating the
need to encode this information into the function name in the first place.

Idea of robust data structures is very interesting. While storing additional
information to detect potential misuse of API, like concurrent modification or
iterator invalidation is common in other context, the idea of using it to
correct the data structure is not the first thing that comes to mind.
There was Freebase with a community around the project. Sadly Google took it offline

Video games are a great entry into the space!

My 6 year old daughter loves video games and constantly wants me to help her make her own. We're currently working out how she wants it to work. I'm going to help her with the art (she'll show me what she wants) and then I'm going to code with her.

I'm not forcing her but she loves the idea so far. I plan on writing up each step on my blog so people can see our progress and, if it's success, maybe it'll help others repeat it.

If she ultimately hates it that's fine. It's mostly me coding and explaining stuff to her because she's so young. I think it's good for kids to have an idea how it works but if they don't want to be a developer like me then that's fine.
Ask HN: I work for consulting firm that's illegally moving bank code to GitHub
A big bank in Australia has outsourced its work to my consulting company and when I started work at this bank (One of the biggest in Australia) I noticed that my consulting company is illegally uploading bank software to github.

They do this because each consultant needs to have background verified by the bank security advisors which takes around 2-6 weeks and moving all the software to github allows all consultants to start working immediately (without waiting for background check to complete).

I pushed my code to github without my knowledge the first day and brought this matter to my higher ups in my company but they threatened to take me off the project if I "impeded the workflow of the team".

Now, my rest of the contract fees hasn't been paid out.

A software lawyer said I could be implicit in this activity (which he says is NOT criminal but civil liability) because I pushed my code to the company github on internet (Regardless of my intent or ignorance)

I am an independent contractor with the consulting company. The Financial Ombudsman said I do not qualify for lodging a complaint since I am not "technically an employee"

What's the way out? And will I be in legal trouble if I lawyer up?

And at the same time everyone in the JavaScript world is comfortable with using some hungarian-ish notation. $ is for jquery objects, Capitals are for classes, lowercase for instances, camelCase for methods and properties, UPPERCASE for constants, underscore_case for API values, snake-case for CSS classes. To name a few common conventions.

None of this is enforced at the tools level.
