Another reason, with small patches, especially those that actually do a binary patch instead of replacing affected files, you must apply every single patch that affects that file, and you must apply them in the correct order.

Back in the day when binary patching was the norm, this was a common pain point. Good patches at least did a minimal checksum check to make sure they had the correct starting point. Bad ones made no backups and just went to town, and failures meant reinstalling and trying all over again.
Well we can agree to disagree. The AWB would require registration, like has happened in NY. Registration leads to confiscation. Their goal is an Australian style ban; turn them in and melt them down.

There was other legislation and regulation; .50 caliber ban, steel core ammo ban, mail order ammo ban, import ban of Korean War surplus rifles, import ban of Russian guns.

Though I agree with you about Republicans; they can support gun control too.
>that (b) they're probably not that great in terms of financial management & project management.

That's hardly a conclusion you can make at all. Only on the Internet could someone claim with a straight face that engineers as a rule are not also competent at financial and project management. There are millions of counterexamples. Further, engineers do on occasion go back to school to get MBA's and take a management track. Does that make them an engineer or a business person for purposes of this discussion?
Infinity Multiplication – Chapter 3B – Perl
I'll have to disagree on a few of the points on that list:

> - relative multi-threaded performance per $

Highly depends on the particular workload. Given the few benchmarks we have right now, it seems to go 50-50 once you factor in the lower price of the 7700k. At the very least, this one is close.

> - memory bandwidth

Seems about equal from the measurements I've seen (the theoretical numbers are irrelevant).

> - L3-cache bound workloads (AMD has twice more L3)

Cache-size bound workloads to be precise. Cache latency still seems higher, even on L3.

Overall, the 1800X seems to make the entire Broadwell-E series redundant on price/performance (at least at current price), no argument there. Against the 7700k, however, it's a very interesting decision, entirely based on the distribution of your workloads. And if Intel drops the prices on Kaby Lake, the value equation can change very quickly indeed.

There is reality, and then there is the image of reality. The image is a snapshot of reality in a particular slice of time, typically superimposed across time and space.

At best, it covers the majority of the relevant space, for the relevant time.

At worst, it's a hyperexaggerated representation of reality, possibly one that is hoped to exist (but does not), from a minor section of the world applied to a much, much larger area.

But neither I nor this article (and marketing in general, as does much of the arts) does not speak of reality. This is a discussion of the image, shared between most of the country. (Reality itself is only shared between those happen to percieve it, and that is rarely more than a very minor subset of the population that has access to the image)

Thus: it isn't relevant what New Jersey is really like. It is how New Jersey is perceived that matters. (Which I may still be wrong about; I can't say I know much about people's image of NJ).

There is a major chicken and egg problem here.

As a post-YC company, I know a lot of investors. That means my gmail is valuable to you (since you can pull a bunch of info) but that your service is not valuable to me.

You need to better incentivize users that have the information that makes your service more valuable. Something like AngelList's ability to verify that an investor invested in a company, plus the ability for founders to anonymously leave reviews of investors that you confirm they've spoken with.

If, going into our next round, I could only access those reviews by connecting my work GMail, then I can see why it may make sense.

Right now, I don't know why I would use this and I think I'm your target market.

I'm at a loss for words here, this might be the dumbest thing I've heard all week.

First, go get a dictionary and look up what slavery means.

Second, go get a history book and read about the last two world wars where conscription has been widely embraced by the belligerents. Not only did it have public support, but it was also the only thing that gave the Allies enough manpower to stay in and win the war.

If anyone is interested in buying a System 76 product and have it delivered outside of US, please take into account that the price doesn't include VAT. This has to be payed separately, which usually means that each device is ~20% more expensive (when delivered outside of US).

Yep. There's a transition period where you can't rely on redundancy any longer because there are so many components that it's basically inevitable that at any given time somewhere something will be in a degraded state. So you design for that case, the degraded normalcy case. You make something failing somewhere a non-emergency. It takes a lot of work to do but when you have things working in that way then you can guarantee that you're in that state by testing it routinely in production.

Ruling out "bad" characters is bound to affect internationalization negatively.

IMO the best approach would be to separate between file name and the file object. When I edit a file with vim, should vim really need to know the name of the file? No. Likewise for a lot of other utilities as well. If instead of being so focused on file names and paths everywhere and we operated instead mainly on inodes then I think much would have been won. Now in some instances the file name is of interest to the program itself, for example if you attach a file to an e-mail, upload it with a web browser, tar a directory, etc. but in all of these instances I think that the file name should be more separate and even for most programs that want the file name they should just treat the file name as a collection of bytes that have close to no meaning.

In other words, I would want to translate paths and file names into inodes in just a very select few places and then keep them separate.

I'm someone who's still running an ancient (2007, IIRC) Nehalem i7-920 based workstation for daily use and was eagerly waiting for this launch to finally decide on a new build. After reviewing all the day one benchmark data, I've come to the odd decision that I'm probably going for an i7-7700k, especially if Intel drops the prices by even a tiny amount.

I say "odd" because, apart from basic daily tasks and occasional gaming, my workload mostly consists of scientific computing. Ryzen's performance on AVX2 is precisely as bad as I expected from the architecture (effectively, a 50% penalty) and given the thermal constraints on 6900k's, a lightly overclocked 7700k (usually easy to get to 4.8-5 Ghz after delidding) seems to deliver by far the best price/performance ratio even on multithreaded workloads as long as vectorization is a significant component of the workload. Not to mention the added benefit of delivering the undisputed best single threaded performance money can buy. Ryzen also seems to have issues with memory bandwidth that may or may not be solved by future microcode or MB firmware upgrades, and very limited overclocking headroom.

It's still nice to see AMD bring competition back to the CPU marketplace, and I'm looking forward to their server CPUs in Q2. I'd also love to be proven wrong on anything I said above and reconsider my build options, so please point out any oversights on my part.
Sandstorm's model is close to what I call MSaaS, or managed software as a service. These services can be managed as a SaaS service on prem, yet still be hosted inside a company's network. The equivalence can come from companies selling software "services" by doing deployments of different required SaaS "packages" which can be accessed as a whole.

I think it's extremely important to highlight the security requirements for this type of business model deployment and don't think that focusing on security shouldn't be occurring just because it's running code in a private location.

1) Someone already has a pre-existing relationship (usually former work buddies) 2) The dev team works with other companies in the industry 3) Recommendation from someone in your network (often a VC or angel investor) all in that order.

When choosing your off-shore dev team, you should be looking at communication, track record and skill in the particular technology/industry. In particular for communication, I look at how many hours of overlap do they have with my current work hours. Being from the East Coast I find India and New Zealand difficult to work with as at best I have an 1-2 hours of overlap (and often they may ask for two meetings, one in your morning and one in the late evening).

Track record. Can you talk to some current and former clients who have had comparatively complex technology built? Are those clients happy, were the projects built on time, did they have any frustrations with the process, did they need a dev team to clean up the code? What was documented?

One last thing to check for is the turnover rate (India can be especially bad). How often do they need to off-board/on-board new resources? I've had teams where every 3 months someone is going and someone is coming.
This particular problem can be solved by going to a pound or a rescue. You get a nice dog for free. There is no need for ever going to a breeder.

> “We like niches where we’re dealing with emotional borrowers,” Wunderlich said.

Jesus Christ, what an exploitative asshole.

This is the canonical definition of a predatory scumbag. He's deliberately targeting people at a highly emotional point, to rope them into a exploitative contract. Plus, who has even heard of "renting" a dog?

I'd bet the great majority of the people involved assumed the paperwork was just for vet bills and such relating to the dog. By targeting a niche where such a loan practice is rare/nonexistant, they probably expect much less scrutiny of the underlying contracts.

I bet his buisness would vanish if they forced him to put "Dog Lease Contract" or something similar in 70 point text on the paperwork people have to sign.

Calling the anonymous S3 Team Member the "root cause" is both insulting and untrue. System designs must assume humans are fallible.

The Amazon post itself[0] identifies several other contributing factors beyond "Sysop Error". Root cause analysis would ask the following questions:

Why is a potentially risky operation being done manually in the first place?

Why was the human error of restarting a larger-than-usual percentage of servers not flagged for user confirmation before continuing?

Why was a restart of the indexing subsystem and the placement subsystem never tested in the past several years?

etcetera, etcetera.

In short, there were significant process failures that led to "S3 Team Member" even being in a position to accidentally cause this outage.

Perhaps whoever is behind this "light-hearted" pledge drive can't see beyond the human factor because they don't have experience at anything close to this scale, and systems many orders of magnitude smaller simply can't justify the sort of investment in extra belts and suspenders that is done on larger systems.

Any of the big hosts, including Amazon, invests quite a lot in infrastructure and tooling precisely to prevent or at least mitigate this type of error, but this particular corner of their system didn't have enough protections in place nor was the recovery process tested.

Those process failures are not "S3 Team Member"'s fault. At. All.

As far as I am concerned, this was a bug, and "S3 Team Member" should get a prize for finding it, however inadvertently. May I suggest some extra vacation time?
