Memory leaks on the server side are also a consequence of long-running single-process server software. What was traditionally run as a CGI (eg. Apache creating a fresh process for each request) or was started from inetd is now frequently implemented in a multi-threaded or evented fashion, so that using the O/S as garbage collector for memory and temp files doesn't work anymore. Not only does this put additional strain on getting memory management 100% right, it also creates memory fragmentation when done naively. While the consensus and narrative seems to be that evented I/O is more performant because the O/S doesn't have to schedule loads that have "nothing to do anyway most of the time" so to speak, I've yet to see a benchmark comparing traditional process-per-request vs. multithreaded and/or evented approaches; it's not that user-space memory management doesn't introduce additional overhead.

My suspicion is that in many cases memory management strategies of desktop software have been used for server-side software without evaluation, or out of a habit because Java introduced GC into server software. But OTOH even OpenBSDs "new" (3-5 years old) httpd integrates traditional CGIs via the so-called "slowcgi" bridge, and uses evented I/O and asynchronous APIs natively so maybe I'm wrong on this one. If even OpenBSD developers themselves don't use ASLR and other techniques of OpenBSD to ensure non-deterministic memory allocation and go to great length to get equivalent protection within single-process request processing containers, they sure must be on to something.
I'm going to have to disagree with you here. I think its much more constructive to encourage potentially ignorant individuals to be inquisitive, rather than to reprimand them for not knowing something sooner.

To belittle those individuals who did not have access or exposure to this information seems cynical or high-horsed. Exposing verifiable data is the first step, encouraging people to challenge their belief systems through curiosity and with the assurance that changing their mind (based on that data) is not stupid or reprehensible is the second.

I'd like to permanently, easily offload all image storage & delivery (consumer oriented services) - without being mangled by the obscene bandwidth costs of AWS. I don't want to roll my own solution to get cheap bandwidth, I want a dependable service that hosts files (images in this case) & can serve them up, and do so at very cheap bandwidth prices.

B2 references Vintage Aerial as a success case for storing their large image collection. So I checked out their site, pretty cool service. So I right click -> view image, on the large & thumbnail images on their site and they're on AWS of course (archival storage on B2 I assume).

Hey Backblaze, AWS's bandwidth margin is your opportunity.
> Humans have eaten meat for so long that it's engrained into our biochemistry.

There are no physiological adaptations humans have to eating meat. We've been eating fruit for many millions of years longer; that is our natural diet.
React VR is just a library on top of WebVR, not a new standard. WebVR is coming, although it isn't "here" yet: https://webvr.info/developers/

It would be like saying that Angular, Vue, and React are causing fragmentation.
Stable Firefox will still update around every six weeks, the same as before.

You could also think of the change like this: if you report a bug in the current release version, and someone fixes that bug in Nightly, the fix will end up in a new release 6 weeks faster than before.
If Portland banned food carts, I would never go back.

Seriously, at least half of my favorites of all the great restaurants in that town got their start as food carts.
And in drag racing, we should put top fuel dragsters up against streetable Honda Civics and get rid of brackets because equality. No age groups at Boston, or any other race. Let the old guys past their prime line up with the college kids.

My suspicion is that you've never raced anything in your life, be it cars, cockroaches, or your own two legs. Which is fine, not everyone need fall into the money pit that is racing in most of its forms. But I would suggest sticking to pontificating about things you know.
This is a text-book example of the "no true Scotsman" fallacy.

Most vegans I've met are "mostly vegan". Occasionally eating meat is not a big deal. The problems start when they're the main part of your diet - you start increasing your disk of heart disease, diabetes, colon cancer, etc while also perpetuating environmental degredation. All very costly to society.
Speaking of cheap object storage, has anyone had any experiences with OVH's Object Storage?

It seems to be more expensive for storage but nearly half the cost for transfer.
I think we should look at who in the executive is still around. Sometimes the group leaving and the group staying have different visions. The group leaving could have not agreed with Uber's current vision and the group staying refused to change or vice versa.
To be clear, you think it's "easy" to live on a diet without any animal products, and also without soy or gluten, and that I'm "weak" for not doing so, despite other health issues I had on the diet?

This is another aspect of veganism that really turns me off, the pervasive self-righteousness within the community at large.

Please tell me what restaurants I could visit with those dietary restrictions? And what quick lunches / fast food I can buy on that diet, on say a 30 minute lunch break, for instance...?
You left out a third camp - people who know how meat is manufactured, and won't touch what comes out of that process with a hundred foot pole.

Getting tired of this shit.

"Secure", as a word, does not make things secure. "Container", as a word, also does not make things secure.

Sandboxes come in two flavors: Correct by construction, and exploitable. Which flavor is this system?

What makes this better than NixOS? Than Genode? Than Qubes? Where is the actual security writeup? Where's the explanation of the security model for the system? How would I write code which takes advantage of structural security in the system?

Edit: There's a writeup here: https://github.com/linuxkit/linuxkit/blob/master/docs/securi... And the Mirage design is here: https://github.com/linuxkit/linuxkit/blob/master/projects/mi...

In short, to answer my earlier questions, the sandboxing is undocumented, comparisons to other security-oriented setups are omitted, the limit of structural security is OCaml's type system... This seems like an interesting effort but I am disappointed that it seems more like lip service than an attempt to actually improve on the state of security design.
Yeah, I noticed. Hard to get them to notice you without it. Wished I'd started down this path sooner.

Appreciate the advice.

As I understand it (though I could be wrong) - this repository (in relation to the old one) is intended to be a parent.

Rather than having just the Docker engine, it will coordinate docker, swarmkit, infrakit, linuxkit in a single project.

These will be swappable, so for example you could a) swap swarmkit for Kubernetes, b) swap linuxkit for Debian, c) swap infrakit with Terraform.

Like "Docker for Mac/Windows/AWS/Azure/GCE", etc. already exist - Moby will likely house all these variations and allow the creation of custom "Docker/Other for X/Y/Z".
Went to a JS meetup in Pittsburgh. The co-host asked me if I was there just to ride the coat tales of actual programmers (because I was/am new to programming). That experience has been enough to keep me away from them.

I ate their pizza anyway.
I expect drones are now more relevant than satellites for localised imaging.

We just bring the laptops, set up a LAN game and 7-8 of us sit in the same room. It does involve bringing some hardware along, but it isn't a big deal. We used to do it quite often.
> I imagine the parent was trying to say you can have the deterministic management of non-memory resources like C++, without the downside of loosing memory safety.

At least, that's what I was talking about.

But the GP has a point. It will leak other resources the same way it leaks memory. That is, it will rarely do so, but it's something you have to keep in mind.
Naive is eating animals and then complaining about our species' extinction as a result of climate change. The two are exorbitantly linked - global warming and killing animals.
That sounds like a good thing for all "users" of ride sharing apps. Drivers make sure they get rides --local companies probably pay a little better. And passengers win because they can hunt for the cheapest (e.g. most subsidized) rates.
Probably because PNaCl is available now and was available two years ago when they say they started.
Tommy John surgery is what it's usually referred to, after the first pitcher to undergo the procedure in the 1970s.

It's pretty accepted that the surgery is not performance enhancing against the healthy baseline. Some pitchers come back throwing harder because they had significant impairment (wearing of the tendons) before.

If the channels I enjoy were all setup through the same service, whatever it may be, it would be easy for me support new media while tracking my budget better. I can be forgetful, and it feels like some subscriptions are built around attaching themselves to your credit card and staying under your radar. But I need to do a better job of supporting these channels I spend so much time on.
As an omnivore, nothing annoys me more than my well intentioned veggie friends trying to serve me the vegie version of everything. It's gross to me, and it represents what they are trying to distance yourself from. Its like christian rock. It makes both things worse, while attempting in good faith, to celebrate them. Just cook kickass food that tastes good and meets your needs.

Edit: just reread, and I sound dickish. I, of course, am flattered by their attempt at accomidation. But veggie bacon is bad, and someone needs to tell you. We still love you.
There are stories of doctors prescribing food to malnourished children and Medicaid refusing to pay, saying "Food is not medicine."
The intermediate years use statistical methods that better address some of the practical difficulties in getting complete and unique responses; the "actual enumeration" is well-known to be less accurate (in fact, the same methods used for between census estimates are also used by the census bureau to produce and publish estimates of the over- and under-counts in the actual enumeration.)

There was (probably still is, despite the fact that it seems to be a lost cause) a movement to use the better methods for all purposes, but given that it would be a constitutional change and the errors benefit the already politically powerful, there is pretty much no chance of it happening any time in the foreseeable future.

OTOH, I don't know ow that that actually has anything to do with the chart at issue: there is no information on sources or methodology, just "sources of this data are coming soon". If you don't have the sources ready to cite, you have no business publishing visualizations of the supposed data.
As a speaker at a lot of free meetups, I feel a great deal of pressure to have a strongly prepared talk. I've seen a lot of talks, had some communications and public speaking education, and I try to follow best practices as I have determined them.

I also greatly appreciate face-to-face critical feedback.

For example, I've been told that going back and forth in my slides is hard to follow, and I'm trying to avoid that. (Though I think it's frequently unavoidable.)

I've also been corrected on a minor point before - and I appreciate that as well, I don't want to be guilty of spreading misinformation.

But I have seen (very infrequently) poorly prepared talks, or talks by people clearly unqualified to give them. I don't want to be that guy. Maybe the author of the main post here has standards that are too high, or maybe the meetups he's attended just have no quality control.

But I don't know of any group that intentionally wants to have bad talks - it reflects poorly on the organizers as well as the speaker.
This is not about party allegiance, this is all about brexit.

Which, frankly, is scary in itself. Brexit, in whatever form, is far the only thing that matters in government. We also have significant and immediate concerns about the NHS, the education system at several different levels, our transport and communications infrastructure, our energy infrastructure, the environment and natural resources, the changing nature of work and employment, over-centralisation around London, the erosion of civil liberties, and other issues. Many of these could have far greater effects on the average citizen than anything to do with Brexit is likely to cause, even over the next few years and certainly in the long term, but they're being drowned out by an issue that is, in the big picture, simply not that big a deal.
Long time vegan here. While I think that saying has some truth to it, there are also those that sympathize with the ethics, try it out for a short while, but find the pressure of social backlash too costly. The biggest problem isn't nutrition; It's ingroup/outgroup policing (predominantly by the vast majority of non-vegans).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQUo53o6QXg#t=0m30s (strawman opening skipiped) is clearly an exaggeration, but highlights the uncomfortable reality of being "the different one" at the dinner table.
My apologies. As a non native speaker I sometimes sound too direct and I was in a hurry typing that comment. I polished some of the edges.
I tried it a while back, maybe it was just me being stupid but I found no CLI, or decent tool for the API. Ended up giving up because the barrier to entry was too high. I'd suggest they work on tooling.

I call the lifestyle you describe, "Meat Reducers"
It's interesting that the cars on the motorway to the south of the building are pancaked (not 3D) whereas the cars in the parking lot next door are 3D. It makes sense, since I guess they need objects to be in multiple frames from a flyover to project them into 3D. It must be a bitch to deal with moving objects and figure out which position to put them in, since the rest of the imagery is generated from multiple frames.
If you're going to downvote by 2 points, please state what is inaccurate. Nothing I have stated is inaccurate and Americans agree with me.
Was Roger Hollis a British Patriot or Soviet Spy? (2015)
Eh, I disagree with this analysis. I consider myself vegan yet when we go out I'll surely eat some cheese, and once or twice a year I'll have a bit of meat. The "no community of judgement" goes both ways here, and honestly I don't really care what other people think anyways :)

So why not sell Epipens without those minor, patented improvements for $20? Surely if there's profit to be made another provider would come in and destroy the $700 marginally better Epipen market.

Discrimination has multiple definitions. You're using the general definition, which is just "recognizing the difference between two things". Gender discrimination uses the other definition, "the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people or things". Gender discrimination in sports is usually not unjust or prejudicial, because it's based on real insurmountable biological differences between the sexes.
I think I must not have been very clear. I'm not surprised that living in a van can be tough. I'm not surprised that documenting things or creating videos is hard work too.

My dissonance is that if you watch these videos most of them are full of rhetoric like "my generation doesn't like to settle" "I did what I was told went to college, found myself at a soulless marketing company and realized that I needed more" "I dare to think different" "I've never been a conformist". But if you read the article they are right in the middle of the world they hate. There life's work is product placement, brand repping, and promoting the superficial. Their youtube and instagram channels aren't documentaries of their lifestyle, they are just outlets for corporate attempts at growth hacking via sponsored photoshoots.
Don't they use Swift API for which lots of tooling is available?

EDIT: And Backblaze B2 invented their own API, so no tooling at all.

Is it, though? I mean, I can see the similarity, but ethical veg*nism does exist outside of the dietary practice. You don't need to subscribe to the ethics to partake in the diet. We lack the words to distinguish between and ethical vegan and a for-health vegan, but that doesn't mean they aren't distinct groups.

Cyber Insurance Becomes a Must for More Manufacturers
Satellites have had the ability to do that for decades. I was in the military during the Reagan administration and we would roll $weaponsystem under cover when the Russian satellites were passing over. They could see even small details such as which model it was.

But more resolution isn't what's important. Other capabilities, such as deep infrared, ultraviolet, radio, whatever scanning is more useful. Sats made U-2s, SR-71s mostly obsolete; drones are doing a lot of what Sats did. Top of the list though is refueling spy sats. That is the Holy Grail of reconnaisance which the USAF X-37B totally experimental research craft totally doesn't do.

Refueling massively extends their use and lifespan. Its like have twice as many for the money. Cuz, ya know, a hundred ain't enough.
They're not barred from competing. They're split into different subsets to more closely match them with people with similar potential exactly to make the races more competitive.

I would have some sympathy for your argument if you argue against womens only races or men only races, but most sports do not arbitrarily deny access to a given group, but split people into groups and try to counter effects beyond competitors control, such as gender, age, so that training plays a bigger role in the results distribution.

The point is that we are seeking to give prices to those who have gotten closest to their maximum potential, not for their genetic starting point or circumstances. Yes, we can not counter everything without splitting things up too much, but we can aim to equalise the playing field somewhat.

This is not discrimination. This is seeking to reduce "unfair external advantage". It's the opposite of discrimination.
Are rclone and duplicati yet more deduplicating backup programs? we now have:

- rclone
- duplicati
- rdiff-backup
- duplicity
- attic
- borg
- bup
- zbackup
- ...?

I'd love to see a comparison of these because right now I have zero idea which one(s) I should use for any given purpose.
Humans may have evolved to eat meat but nowhere near the staggering quantities of low-quality meat that most Americans now consume.

I once read it estimated that the average Jew in first-century Palestine would have probably eaten less than a pound of beef per year.

> Why even bother with such "update"?

This is a pretty usual practice for GPUs; one generation has a new architecture and new chips in the mainstream/performance segment, the next generation uses the same chips with some minor tweaks. The lower end often stays on the same architecture for longer. All GPUs get the same marketing number be it "GT 5XX" or "RX 4xx" to have a consistent line-up. It's just marketing, really.

In my experience, VSC's cold boot startup time is just as bad as Atom, and it's not immune to interface jank - for example, when unfolding the "tree view" on one of my projects, I can actually see the folders being painted top to bottom.

But I don't use VSC day-in-day-out (since it's missing multiple project root folder support), so perhaps I'm missing something.
This is more inline with my dream. I have a van, I work remote. My wife doesn't ; ). So for now we're weekend warriors.

I was reading that Finland does preferential buying from companies based on financial transparency - given what I've seen in Fortune 50's where I've worked (offshore stocks to hide income and avoid taxes by both senior executives and the company - derivatives used to hide money already in the US and make it disappear offshore), I'd like to see that for all companies which are allowed to do any business in the United States. We need to stop the rich from stealing the wealth of our entire society.
If this is a "distro", is it correct to assume that it would run in a VM on the host system?
