While I really like these sort of file systems, I'm not holding my breath.

This isn't a simple filesystem project, but plays in the next-gen space ZFS opened up.
There will be a lot to do, especially IO scheduling, RAID safety with shitty drive firmwares, consistency guarantees with fsync/partial flushes etc.

I'm pessimistic about it being mainlined in the near future, the core team will be weary of a second btrfs.

What I would like to see is a APFS/exFAT crossover with COW and data checksums without all the volume mgmt with ports for all possible operating systems so everyone can use it for their SDcards, usb-sticks and external drives without making tradeoffs and using fuse.

At least not from a Microsoft employee. Sadly, the majority of posts from Microsoft employees I have seen basically repeat the problem description, followed by "Did I understand that correctly?", sometimes people get generic advice like reboot their computer, make sure their system has all available updates installed, etc.
I am a huge emacs fan, but there is a reason I still use vi/vim, and gasp, even nano regularly. It's on just about everything and is quick and simple.

Also, at first I wondered why vi wasn't on there, but for those of you who thought the same, nvi is berkely vi (TIL).

I like that emacs performs in the middle of the road in most of these cases, because it shows stability but room for improvement. Dissapointed with the large file results, but they are useful. (using vi on big files from now, it's a problem I run into more and more)
I've contemplated using a service like this to lighten the junk mail, but how do you 'shut off' mail service at your physical mailbox?

Point 3 is valid because the article is arguing for some of us to start using it now, before everyone switches.

Point 4 isn't agnostic of bill or coin. Carrying one $1 is pointless. Carrying five $1 coins is much more cumbersome than just having a $5 bill.

There already isn't much a use-case for carrying cash in the first place, at least in the US (how often is anyone really using vending machines anymore, and can you live without them?)

Heavy cash has even less of a purpose.
Other services scan the contents or your mail as well. Outbox was just really weird about the whole thing, particularly as it related to how they got the mail in the first place. For more information I recommend the analysis I gave back around when this was a story.

Everything I've seen from GaryVee recently has been along the lines of "you're not doing enough work."

More specifically he says you're probably not working enough if you're running some sort of personal narrative that you're all that business-wise or ever going to be a multi-millionaire/whatever.

He frequently says that sort of life is not for everyone and people who are happy doing a dayjob and devoting their time to personal pursuits should be envied. But if you want to be chasing the beasts of big money and big business and be all about being the big-I-am, you better be working long and hard.
> Almost nobody seems to be asking these inevitable questions

Actually, I see these questions being asked more and more and more these days, and I find it hilarious. What with the EU recently discussing robot rights and such.

I mean, although I understand that these are interesting intellectual questions, I just get the impression that people are really having fun contemplating them, but realistically not admitting (as often as I'd like) how insanely far away we are from anything where any of this is even remotely relevant.

Call me when a robot can tie his own shoelaces and we'll talk.
Penny-wise and pound-foolish. If cheaper means throwing the time of your most expensive resource (engineers) down the drain to save some money on rent and Ikea furniture, then sure.
Pretty compelling arguments.

I do think that the ML / CS / etc. community is actually more open than other academic fields, and so this is definitely the right subfield to start in. Putting open access preprints online is not common practice in all disciplines, although it really should be.

I wonder if it makes sense for Distill to also publish on fields outside of pure ML - e.g. as applied to specific problems in other domains. I work in materials informatics, and I suspect that research in such fields (ML + applied sciences) might benefit quite a bit from having key results 'distilled' in this format.
I think it is valuable to be reminded of the depth of ignorance of even "tech savvy" people.

Glad to hear that. You can also import your projects directly (everything will be copied over).

We don't see any reason for you not to do so. GitLab should be the easiest place to get started. If that means logging in with GitHub, we're happy to make that possible.
I love atom, but those numbers are really bad ...
I wouldn’t so restrictive. I think it would be sufficient to call a company machine owned when over 50% is owned by a machine. I do not see why it could not hire humans to advance its goals.
> 6dB = 2, so a 6dB increase in power would be doubling the power

Pretty sure this part isn't right. Decibels are about power ratios, not amplitude ratios. 10 dB is a power ratio of 10, so 20 dB is an amplitude ratio of 10. 6 dB is a power ratio of 10^(6/10) ≈ 3.981 or an amplitude ratio of 10^(3/10) ≈ 1.995.), while 3 dB is a power ratio of 1.995 or an amplitude ratio of 1.413.

(It's probably sometimes defined so that 3 dB is a power ratio of exactly 2, making 30 dB 1024 instead of 1000.)

Well, compared to Atom, yes. Two somewhat similar tools with trade offs between them, one of them being speed.
I have mixed feelings about this article. On the one hand I like to copy things that "successful" people do. Some of my best habits come from something I read that so and so successful person did.

On the other hand I have fell into the trap of emulating too many habits and being overwhelmed. I think the author's points have merit.

When I was young, I wanted to stay away from the old large companies. When I crossed the 35 year threshold, they became the only one's I wanted to work for: every passing year made that desire stronger.

We have to take the domain out of the equation completely. The entire layer of protocols should be built to check multiple credentials that aren’t using the domain so that users never have to figure out if something from "GøØglé•çôm" is legitimate.

One of the problems with sanity-checking URLs is that, thanks to ICANN, almost any string can now be a valid domain. Given that "foo.bar" and "foo.bar.baz" may both be real, how can you tell when the latter is a spoof of the former? Furthermore, some organizations might actually create multiple domains that are subsets of each other, such as "foo.google" and "foo.google.com"; that means you can’t apply any simple expression without knowledge of the organizations in question. There is then no fast way to determine if a URL is suspicious, without the usual downsides of blacklisting versus whitelisting.

And that’s all before even considering Unicode in the equation. There are some Unicode symbols that look similar-enough or even identical to others, and heck even a DOT could be replaced by a look-alike dot (I suppose, unless the restricted Unicode ranges have excluded dot-like symbols). Any attempt to quickly scan a URL for potential scams is not just a matter of looking for particular names, it’s a matter of looking for a huge number of variants. You simply can’t expect a CA or anyone else to reliably determine if a URL “looks good” by itself.

I would be OK if there is one human boss paying for the launch and profiting from the AI. It would still be better then the management I came upon in my professional life. Getting rid of decisions based on personal relations between employees or them and clients hurting the company would improve business a lot. handling communications in an efficient way! What a change that would be. I'm really looking forward to it.

In my opinion those edge cases will keep the system running for a while if we come up with an AI that can manage business. This will also handle those legal issues because we will just pragmatically decide what's good for business. Just like we always do. And it's definitely not good to give it the full legal protection. With this development we could have a transit time where an higher AI managers the lower AI with it's edge case solvers. I guess by then we'll come up with proper interpretations of law.

Given how much more abundant it is on the wired side, and the fact they're all now introducing caps - no. The only way to increase profits when you're a monopoly is to charge more money for your product. The only way to do that when there's no ACTUAL scarcity is to create artificial scarcity through caps.
There is a plugin for IE and safari. Some versions of Firefox work. The important issue is that chrome and Firefox are browsers that work on the big three platforms.
While that type of disconnect is certainly plausible, this type of soft communication arbitrage is regularly used to sabotage projects in corporate politics. It allows the conspirators to keep their moves covert. Plausible deniability is key, and affable management personalities go a long way to keeping people believing in the fairy tale.

I'm sure a company like MS, who've had traumatic run-ins with the DOJ in the past, has internalized this phony management persona even more than most. And I do believe low-level developers who work on the individual clients are probably 100% earnest. They usually are. It's the people in the political structure who set their priorities and schedules and use them as pawns that you have to worry about.

Even if your postulation is exactly accurate, MS still bears responsibility for crippling the Linux client, no matter which specific employee the communication "fault" falls on.

I have no inside knowledge of Microsoft, this is just generic commentary and extrapolation on corporate politics in general. It is possible that I'm incorrect and this is truly an honest mistake. If this gets any attention, management will certainly claim that, and we'll never know the reality of whether it was unintentional or whether "The Linux client supports those speedups" was intentionally swallowed by someone along the line (or whether the patch was delayed for additional review because it was "accidentally bundled" with a bigger branch, or whether the priority has just been "innocently" pushed down, or whether the team is "just understaffed", or...).

The proof is in the pudding with corporate politics. Being in management is being a professional politician. That's always true. They're always going to try to tell people what they want to hear and cloud up the picture around things that that person doesn't want to hear. If Microsoft is continually engaging in a series of accidents that hurt non-Windows clients, that pattern is sufficient proof of management's intent, regardless of what they claim.
I've been using Atom for the past several months. I was using Sublime Text 3 before.

This confirms my observations that Atom is both significantly slower and also consumes more resources. I mean, the numbers speak for themselves: It uses at least an order of magnitude more RAM compared to most of the others, and common tasks are up to two orders of magnitude slower.

At first I thought the issue was my old laptop. But now I see the benchmarks, I'm definitely switching back to ST3.
Ironically, part of the reason for the ascendancy of the open plan, was the popular negative reaction against cubicles. Cubicles were so Dilbert, so 80s/90s IBM/Microsoft/Intel, so "Office Space."

They're a law firm that specializes in _patents_. When all you have is a hammer....

Also, presumably you failed to register your software with the copyright office before the infringement began. In such a case you're less likely to get a fat damages award. Which is actually a good reason to pursue a patent claim, but if we're being cynical it's also a good reason for a firm to _prefer_ a patent claim.

The fact of the matter is that if the case was a slam dunk as you say, you should have been able to get an injunction fairly quickly, depending on when this occurred. Step one to seeking an injunction would have been to register your software (or a component of the software, if you didn't want to divulge the whole thing) with the Copyright Office. Currently their e-filing website says it'd take 6-10 months. It used to be much shorter than that. A few years ago, IIRC, I received a certificate in less than 90 days. In any event, that's much shorter than 2 years.

It's also a good lesson: always register at least some component of your software with the Copyright Office; a component that an infringer would necessarily have to copy. To get through the courthouse doors you need a certificate from the Copyright Office, but it doesn't have to cover the entire, larger work. It's more of a procedural hurdle of the copyright statute that courts construe very liberally, so you needn't be afraid of having to publish all your source code just to get a certificate.

The nice thing about copyright is that it's simple enough that you don't really need to involve a lawyer. Of course, you don't do this to the exclusion of any patent filings, but it's a smart move that is almost zero cost. Paste your software into a TeX document, generate a PDF, and upload it to the Copyright Office website. Easy peasey.

NOTE: IANAL
Despite some terrible performance I believe Atom will keep doing fine for reasons I heard:

The fact that the raidz volume is not an opaque block device allows ZFS to be aware of data corruption when comparing checksums and self heal if the data can be re-constructed from the array.

I'm not saying any attempt at a new filesystem should have to bundle the two layers together, but they should allow for communication between the abstractions.
A local butcher who throws away perfectly good beef fat! jokes aside I understand it not all thrown away (some parts are) and used in pet feed, cosmetics, fertilisers etc..

I think it would probably work out better to have a 15% excise tax on all pharmaceutical chemicals and preparations, charged on the wholesale price, collected at the shipping dock of the manufacturer or at the port of entry. This would go exclusively to fund a "research royalty" to the individuals who conduct drug research into utility, safety, and efficacy.

I don't have any specifics as to how that would be distributed, but it should likely emphasize the importance of replication and value purity of the methods over whether the results are positive or negative.

Right now, there are significant financial incentive that may bias research studies towards positive results. The patent system is magnifying those incentives.
