>I remember back in the day you could go into the dungeons out of order

Link Between Worlds brought this back to some degree. You're on rails at the very beginning but after that you're free to tackle most of the dungeons in whatever order you like because most of your 'tools' are available very early on.
Finland was lucky to be invaded by the Soviets when their military was at their peak of incompetency, after Stalin had killed tons of the officers.

They quickly learned, and in the followup war(s), Finland was thoroughly beat, and lost 1/10 of it's territory.
Oh the days without process isolation and memory management.
Yes, organically grown tomatoes taste just fine (though I'm not a big fan of tomatoes in any form, in general. Don't mind small amounts in salads, and also like ketchup - again, the kind without preservatives or added sugar). Used to grow them at home as a kid, in our garden.
What I don't like about Finder is that it can't be used efficiently with the keyboard. It's the same with Windows Explorer.

IIRC emissions testing is similar to building codes in that you are only tested against the year the car was manufactured in most cases.

So a 1970 car will still pollute as much as a 1970 car.

> Government: We complain about regulations, because we don't remember how bad things were before them.

Maybe, but sometimes regulations reflect a historical context that's no longer valid.

As technology changes, and as cultural mores evolve the circumstances which prompted a regulation may no longer be valid.

That isn't to say that the regulation is now doing more harm than good, but that if we came at it today as a fresh start, we might not choose that exact set of regulation.

To give a very extreme example, let's look at health-inspections for meat.

1. Was motivated by disease tainted meat being wide-spread in cities, with no way of tracking down bad producers, and no simple way for consumers to ensure their meat wasn't tainted before eating

2. Fast forward 100 years

3. The regulation is still beneficial but (a) simple cost-effective testing can be carried out by consumers in their homes or grocers before sales (b) the industry has become incredibly cohesive, with much more sophisticated logistics methods and a smaller number of producers.

Today, if we wanted to 'solve' the issue of tainted meat---the industry could self-regulate out of fear of government action, and consumers/grocers could spot check with relatively small overhead.

We might not end up with the same level of USDA oversight as we currently have---although we probably would end up with something.

It's tempting but wrong to believe that our regulations are exactly what we would have always thought out, in every circumstance, simply because they're currently still beneficial.
The fine particles from tires are really bad for people too though
I assume "reboot" in this instance means more than turning it off and on again--it must return to a working state, with many volumes of data requiring log processing to find the last (and best) "good state".
If you were really motivated to make this happen, you could connect a 12V battery tender to your non-Volt to keep it alive indefinitely.

3 things I think you should consider in this situation.

1. Reserved instances. If you've got a running business and are expecting to be around for 1-3 years, you get 40-60% discount on that 4xlarge.

2. Do you want to move the service exactly as it is? Maybe you don't need the large ebs? Maybe you can rewrite the storage to S3 instead which is much cheaper? Do you have heavy, sporadic tasks that you can move out of your main system and into lambda+queue and use a smaller instance?

3. How much do you spend on people to monitor the hardware, source and replace the disks, do firmware updates, etc. ? How much on external services to monitor your box which could be replaced with integrated AWS solutions at free tier?

Basically what I'm trying to say is: if you just lift your current system and move it to AWS, you're ignoring lots of opportunities. You need to consider much more than a 1:1 hardware requirements migration.
>We know the internet has a single point of failure.

It has? I have yet to see the day where I can neither reach my email provider nor Google nor Hackernews. My local provider might screw up occasionally, or some number of of websites go unreachable for whatever reason. But I fail to come up with anything short of cutting multiple see cables that causes more than 50% of servers to be unreachable to more than 50% of users.
The new GDI engines most certainly will...

Yeah, in childhood my family used to go to New Jersey beaches in the summer. A solidly middle class experience. And nothing like a certain reality TV series either, which unfairly gave it a bad name.

For green peas, I actually prefer them not sweet (or very little sweet), because we use them as a legume and eat it as a dry or gravy dish with rice or chapatis/rotis. But I prefer the taste of fresh green peas to that of dried yellow ones (even after cooking the latter after soaking in water, they taste somewhat bland and floury).
I've been doing it this way for years and it really, really works. Some places have reservations with it since its lack of formality is considered "risky" by some.

Though, an alternative to switching to another language is using xargs well. Writing bash with some immutably has been pretty invaluable for my workflows lately. For example

My parents grew heirloom tomatoes 30 years ago. I wasn't able to enjoy them raw. Cucumber and tomato salad with a bit of oil is tolerable though.
> If anyone could answer, I've always wondered how a hypothetical bacteria on an asteroid could survive impact with earth or any celestial body.

Thinking about it, my initial thought "part of the asteroid didn't get that hot" can't be right...

More likely [0], some components of the organism can remain intact after impact. Seeing papers like this one [1], where different components of a system can/do combine, or seeing one of the current theories for how mitochondria came to exist [2], makes me think extremely low probability combinations happen to workout sometimes. That, plus trillions of chances to happen.

> If you wanted to compete with Netflix, you would need to do a lot more than uses Amazon's cloud services.

Yes you'd need multi-million dollar contracts with all of the major studios. Netflix isn't as much a technical problem as it is a business problem.

HBO has a far worse network, UI, and technology in general but its still competitive simply because it has Game of Thrones and other shows.
It's a glue language, but it's still painful when you write a shell script.
"Unstable" is relative.
I think this explains the success of the Souls series. Yes, you do get to level up and get new gear, but the game presents problems that can only be solved through skill and thought. I honestly don't think it's feasible to grind even 500 hours and expect to get anywhere purely by being OP.
It's a joke though?
Only the GPS time value has never had any leap seconds applied to it. So it's almost 20 seconds ahead of UTC. Which is probably "good enough" for a clock in a car.
>while lots of different, great ideas about computing and networks have been developed in the last 30 years. Using Unix is the computing equivalent of listening only to music by David Cassidy.

The problem here is that there aren't a lot of alternatives. You could use Windows, which is like listening only to music by MC Hammer, or you could use a Mac, which is like listening only to music by Duran Duran.

Because of software/backwards compatibility concerns, and how dependent everything is on the underlying OS, it's really hard to change anything in the OS, especially the fundamental design. It'd be nice to make a clean-sheet new OS, but good luck getting anyone to adopt it: look at how well Plan9 and BeOS fared.
Have you tried the alternatives? They all suffer from various problems. e.g. I use fish but still write bash scripts for production systems - more so fish is perhaps too safe in being too close to POSIX for the improvements to make a great difference (vs the pains of breaking compatibility). Powershell? You might as well write python or ruby at that rate..

What I mean to say is that while there has been a lot of initial inertia from the previous technologies that make it hard to change, it's also true that the new technologies have failed to make large enough gains to warrant the pains of changing - this is precisely the demise of Plan9: it's not that it wasn't better it just that it wasn't better enough to warrant the huge expense of replacing old, working systems.

Can someone explain to me how Snap can be valued this much?

I feel like I was asleep for 50 years and I just woke up and I have no idea how society works.

I love motorcycles too. I've owned many sophisticated bikes: Ducatis with their strange Desmodromic heads. With the ability to dial an exchange of torque to horsepower at the handlebars. Buells with their fuel-in-frame chassis. My current Suzuki even has 4 sensors in the airbox alone. One that measures the air input pressure. One that measures the oxygen level. One that measures the air temperature. Really amazing performance. It will be in a junkyard within ten years though. I won't be able to find those sensors in a few years.

So all that new and advanced technology doesn't really interest me anymore. I'm looking for a 1969 Honda CL350 right now. They're still around and running fine. They're much simpler and much more maintainable. No Engine Computer. No sensors. Everything really easy to understand.

I kinda want my OS like that too. With all its warts I can keep it running.
To be honest, there is some truth in the ideas behind the point though. RIM always liked to control everything, and at most give Enterprises control, but not end users. Apple targeted consumers, and relied on consumers to push into enterprise for them. IIRC, it was actually some time before iOS even supported basic enterprise features (like company control and reset for company devices, etc).
Totally agree. The article doesn't show deep understanding of the actual problems.

- make's TAB "problem" as very first argument is not very convincing.

- The citations to back up the claim that a (possibly binary) registry database was better than small text files are just not backing up. There is nothing to defend a registry there. The quote is about fsync semantics which has nothing to do with registry. Btw. in my perception it's a widely accepted fact that a big-pile-of-crap database is a bad idea. And oh, I haven't ever heard of any problem with passwd/group/shadow/gshadow being text files. And if there were, the access method is actually abstracted away, it's easy to switch backends to something else (NSS). (there is a problem with these files though -- they are denormalized, and not all fields have clear meaning and some programs interpret some fields in weird ways.).

- Zombie processes. What's the problem there? They are just like file handles. Handles have to be closed before they are garbage collected. The actual problem is that you can't really "open" and "close" processes, only spawn new childs and the resulting hierarchy is not typically desired.

- "We call touch in the loop! This means there is a new process for each file. This is extremely inefficient." Yeah and why exactly is the shell to blame that you use touch in a loop? (apart from the fact that it's almost certainly not a problem).

Could go on but have to leave...
Political parties present an abstract view of how society works that simplifies the complexity of the underlying system. It offers a set of interfaces that allow a large mass of untrusted individuals to influence the whole.

> How does he sell the advertising? Product placement in the photos?

Yes, that's probably it. It's the "influencer" model. If 700,000 people who are following you on social media see you wearing a cool jacket from Target, and you say something nice about it in the comments, then those people are more likely to buy that jacket than say, seeing some random person wearing it in a TV ad or a catalog.
So how do you know what type of search you're doing? There were existing text matching algorithms at the time.

Just because the myspace argument is stale doesn't mean it's wrong.

I suspect that is true. Passing on preferences is harder than passing on morals.
Good point! (Someone beat me to it, and the author has already fixed it, too.)
The point of this article and those other studies does not have much to do with personal taste directly. These examples are of interest because they offer clues of where to look for chemical sensors the body has. We do not often get such direct clues about how sensory input maps back to protein sensors and the genes that encode them.

So this is less an exploration of taste preference and more of an exploration into how and why some things taste fundamentally different between individuals.

Scrolling would be a problem. But a good controller makes small text changes possible, even my old Kindle 2 can do small updates to the screen without having to do a total redraw.
Academia does not have to run the model in production. It has few computational constraints, and most datasets do not have a feedback loop, requiring combating drift, debugging, and retraining. Papers are often accepted when they equal or beat state-of-the-art. Not many academics have to deal with the business side of running models in prod.

All of this leads to ease of implementation being overlooked. Especially on NLP, you see a lot of overengineering with deep neural nets (where the feature engineering is hidden inside the architecture). These models are hard to implement/reuse.

But yeah: academia/theoretical machine learning creates the very tools for applied machine learning.

It's amazing how many BLE devices are this easily hackable. I'm not a software engineer by any means, and I've been able to make at least 6 different BLE devices in my house do bad things using this sort of approach.
I think your business model is interesting. However, I'd be careful in letting users decide the direction of the project. It might be okay-ish now if the userbase is small, but when you hit a not unreasonably large number of people (500? 1k?), that can quickly deteriorate.

What if the most upvoted suggestion is something that you have no use for? Or if it is something that no future customer would want? Are you going to sink development hours into it due to the promises you made? What if the top features are continually fluctuating? I saw you are the only one who can add cards, and that is a deterrent for now.

This is a project I will be keeping my eye on, but I didn't buy a license today because "making paying users happy" gives me a bit of pause. Good luck going forward and I hope to want to buy this within the next year! The idea of a Sublime-like file manager is intriguing.
I disagree, Myspace could have done incredibly well if they focused on their strengths in music early on. Instead they wanted to be a media company going in a bunch of different directions, which sounds very very familiar. Snap is doing publishing with content partners, they announced special formatted tv shows, hardware and glasses, AR and adtech.
I live in an intentional community. It is only 3 years old and not flourishing at all. The major problem is the benevolent dictator system and highly restricted rules.

I find reading these reports very interesting because I would like to find/join/build an actually successful village.

Current cities are highly regulated and high cost. All I want is my own plot of land(not a commune) with like minded neighbors who built their own houses, grow their own gardens, and work on technology. It seems like the only way to do that would be to cooperatively purchase land at split it up on ground leases, making it commune ish
I'd like a genetic analysis.
Well, that's the point.

Some kinds of intentional communities survive. Other kinds almost never do.
Not really. GM is too large of a company to take the risks Tesla has been taking. They would likely execute much more poorly on top of this, as they'd likely outsource it to someone and there's no players in this game that are outperforming Tesla.
True, but those risks can be isolated to an area 100 miles away from a major population mass. With fuel burning cars, the risks can't be shuffled outside of the city and the larger your city, the worse it gets.
I spent a year working on ~80k lines of bash. It was an interesting experience.
While generally true this iterative process created a huge amount of cruft and cargo cult, the best example of which is the common law system: Does it work? Absolutely, and surprisingly well at that. It's however also ridiculously Byzantine and can be quite inequitable.

These convoluted structures and systems increasingly break down because they mandate a common code for everyone to live by regardless of their respective ideas and ways of living. Brexit is a nice example of this. An entire country's future jeopardised because a majority at that particular moment voted by a thin margin that this might be a good idea.

Who are they to tell others how and where to live and work? Conversely, who am I to tell them how they should live their lives?

I don't have answers to these questions but I feel the answers lie at a local level and with decentralised structures rather than nation states.
Both my coworker and I are in the (23-26) range. All my friends (new city, college, and home) all use Snap religiously. All of her friends use Instagram. I think it's just hit or miss depending on the groups. A lot of my friends use Instagram as well. However, not for the story aspect.

My thinking was that 'People worried about money losing companies with huge valuations' is a popular cause of consternation and 'People worried about non-GAAP accounting' is another popular (for some people) cause of consternation.

Gaap(Pnl) vs non-gaap made me suspect you were conflating the two worries, and made me wonder if lots of people might also be confused by what accounting/finance/investment people are generally talking about when they talk about "Non-GAAP measures"
