Canonical seriously lacks expertise in KVM (+QEMU+libvirt), and you cannot take that for granted when you have a customer with VMs crashing that is asking for a fix.
Agreed on the content and interesting articles... I just find it overwelming... I'll hop on twitter when I want to post something I may appreciate later, reach out to a company to praise or complain, or just because sometimes... however, I'll spend who knows how long reading through the backlog, and only touch the surface of what's been posted since I last looked.

The people I really care more about hearing from get drowned out, and the rest, while interesting is less so... and twitter's attempts at promoting populist articles on top exacerbates the issue, at least for me. I liked it better where I mostly saw the most recent stuff on top. Not to mention their weird content filters, where certain posts just aren't even visible... sometimes when you're looking at your own timeline.
I agree. Twitter is just RSS on steroids. And you don't really need steroids.
I had also assumed that Turkey's occupation of Cyprus, its refusal to take responsibility for the Armenian genocide, and its antipathy toward the Kurds were additional dealbreakers for EU membership.
Why the downvotes? A study of the difference in American english found that extremes like "the best thing ever" or "the worst" are more common of American english. I read this study a few years ago so I don't have a citation but I could find it if I waste enough time looking.
Is there any other way to support you? I don't really need any more physical books.
Twitter... SAD! :P

The explanation page seems to crash every browser on my phone I can throw at it. Very weird...
You could do that, but that means for a shared repo and N git shell accounts you've got N chroots, presumably using null or bind mounts.

That's a lot more work than a restricted shell which just...restricts.
Delighted to learn about this stunning resource. Comparing the two will be illuminating.

Try to figure out how you can talk about this issue with someone. When my mom died I couldn't do much (it wasn't as important b/c i was in management 1/2 ;-)), and I eventually left the company, looking for something new. Maybe see a therapist, or find someone to talk about it with. I have no idea what happened, maybe you got a dui, maybe you broke up, maybe you witnessed a tragedy. In any case, talk it out with someone. Good luck, life goes on. Even if you made some bad choice that affected someone else, you could try to help improve the world as partial compensation.
I work on a (commercial) library that solves especially the weak locator problem. It wraps around Selenium to provide a more high-level API, while still giving you full access to Selenium. It's called Helium [1].

The US already has numerous breakdowns on where the money goes in segments. For example, I can tell you how much of the budget & tax revenue goes to the military, Social Security, medicare, veterans housing, interest on the public debt, and on and on. We have vast, freely available public data on spending. That's not what Ballmer is doing.
If I wake up before 8 for work I feel physically tired.
In my current job I'm waking up at 7.30 everyday and I feel that I lost 10-20% of productivity.
And it is not strictly correlated with lack of sleep because now I'm sleeping at 10.30-11.30 pm.
I can do my best work when I have no mandatory early show in the office and I can arrive whenever I want between 9 to 10, ideally after a nice 30 minutes walk to wake up properly.
I have thought about this kind of problem. I have some ideas that I'd like to share with my friends, but I've been some effort into thinking about the market and how to make money from implementing ideas. What would be the strategy for dividing up ownership with several people who would be helping me? I really struggle with this. I am always hearing ideas are a dime a dozen, but if an idea is my baby, I need to figure out how to get past this and share it. I know I would need help to build anything of consequence.
No, I meant the company when I said they.

Taking your children out of an abusive relationship is not kidnapping. If my wife were abusive, I'd leave and take my daughter with me. I'd fight for full custody in court.

> Except men...

Get over yourself. In this case the abuser was a man.
Pretty much useless for me given that my wife rarely it's at home before 7.30 and I'm there before 5..
I believe it would not serve them well to consider its 'unicorn' status, as that emphasizes what might be its biggest challenge, justifying its alleged value, and losing money at the rate they do.

Most (if not all) of the companies that went Chapter 7 (complete liquidation) in the dot com boom were like Uber, racing to grow their place into a profitable level of business through private placements. When people stopped believing they could do that, they stopped participating in the equity rounds, and the cash burn was so horrendous that they couldn't slow down if they wanted to. The only possible outcome was a complete flameout, and with no access to capital, and a business model that didn't make money yet, all they could do was go home.

Maybe insiders see something like that coming, maybe not, but I have worked in companies that were going to really existentially tough times and it isn't fun. It's actual work. You really learn who is a fair weather soldier when that happens.
But is RISC the solution to that problem? Having lots of registers helps, I guess. But the amd64 already has quite a lot.

These problems seem to be what VLIW architectures like tried to to solve. Is that sort of architecture going to make a comeback? Will even that help?
What he did is really shitty, but is this article appropriate for HN? This feels much more like smut than articles I am used to seeing here.
"That's something for his lawyers to look into of course, I have a feeling the 300K a year guys they keep on retainer who likely approved this policy have a good idea of how they can argue this was legal under current regulation."

They can argue. But will the judge or jury agree?

Regarding the boarding, this was posted by a lawyer and makes it look a little bit like a clusterfuck. Could get quite pricey for United.

1. First of all, it’s airline spin to call this an overbooking. The statutory provision granting them the ability to deny boarding is about “OVERSELLING”, which is specifically defined as booking more reserved confirmed seats than there are available. This is not what happened. They did not overbook the flight; they had a fully booked flight, and not only did everyone already have a reserved confirmed seat, they were all sitting in them. The law allowing them to deny boarding in the event of an oversale does not apply.

2. Even if it did apply, the law is unambiguously clear that airlines have to give preference to everyone with reserved confirmed seats when choosing to involuntarily deny boarding. They have to always choose the solution that will affect the least amount of reserved confirmed seats. This rule is straightforward, and United makes very clear in their own contract of carriage that employees of their own or of other carriers may be denied boarding without compensation because they do not have reserved confirmed seats. On its face, it’s clear that what they did was illegal– they gave preference to their employees over people who had reserved confirmed seats, in violation of 14 CFR 250.2a.

3. Furthermore, even if you try and twist this into a legal application of 250.2a and say that United had the right to deny him boarding in the event of an overbooking; they did NOT have the right to kick him off the plane. Their contract of carriage highlights there is a complete difference in rights after you’ve boarded and sat on the plane, and Rule 21 goes over the specific scenarios where you could get kicked off. NONE of them apply here. He did absolutely nothing wrong and shouldn’t have been targeted. He’s going to leave with a hefty settlement after this fiasco.
Just today I got notification from iTunes that her new book "Mindshift" (which I had preoredered) is out. Her new course with the same name is on Coursera too https://www.coursera.org/learn/mindshift/home
After first week not sure how much does it overlap with "Learning how to learn".
Put down the smallest downpayment allowed by law.

Start writing off bills like cell phone, internet, printing, write off a management fee. Basically using the property to lower your tax foot print (money saved is money earned)

Ideally buy a triplex or fourplex so it cashflows and generates a small, few hundred dollars a month.

Save the profits for a year or two. Travel.

I took that approach because I would rather wait a couple years and travel for years on end and knowing that my net worth is not taking a huge hit.

The choice was... do I want to travel now for a year and blow through my savings. Or do I wait a couple years and then travel for the rest of my life.
This sounds like you're making a factual claim based on a single anecdote.
My initial reaction was to run (and the gpg call made me curious):

He was featured on the A&E show Biography, and one of his high school math teachers said that Ballmer never once got a math problem wrong, which I found incredible in the true sense of the word.
This will make some interesting synthwave art.

A bitcoin-type ledger with known account numbers would be great for public offices. Even though you can have a nefarious category like "Office Contractor Expenses" which acts like a black hole but at least there can be some sort of minimal scrutiny.
Please excuse my pedantry, but you weather a storm, not a speedbump. I'd be interested to hear more about these alternative corporate structures.
This is a bit worrying as I just got my visa but am not in Australia yet. Other news sites mention grandfathering but (understandably) are devoid of details.

Throwing money at problems doesn't magically solve them. In fact, much of the time it just gives you more problems.

Good luck with that. I tried. You may find that all those years you were "abuser" as well.
And he wonders why people are increasingly skeptical of his administration.
Thanks, the Wendover video was quite well done.
How would you know if it made a wrong prediction? It would take a lot of sampling and time to show it.
There is an "and" in the list.
Regardless of the veracity of your allegations, this paper is a sound empirical analysis. It's a solid piece of research, and it's not surprising that folks from a competing blockchain would be the first to unveil real problems with Monero.
tl/dr Twitter shouldn't have fired Ev, who was trying to build a billion peroson 'pulse of the planet' app and installed Costello, who wanted to turn it into a media company.

God mode articles that start with the word 'why' are usually suspect, this one is no exception
We need something like this but with natural diet recommendations for how to stave off diseases in each individual case. So instead of guessing, people can be more informed about what to eat.

Having said that, how do you train it when you can't run billions of trials internally like you can with chess?
Well, you'll need some kind of heuristic to figure out if a mismatch is due to bit-rot, or because the working file's changed. Maybe modification date, but a) what if a file's restored from an older backup, b) mtime itself is corrupted (APFS would guard against this I suppose).

In any case, the "hash" appears to be CRC32, stored in extended attributes:

What did you think about the empirical analysis from this paper?
The article says it is an El Niño year, but that's wrong. Last year was, but this year has been extremely weird, in that we had more rain than we've ever gotten in a recorded El Niño year despite normal water temps in the tropical Eastern Pacific. Which is great, but makes me wonder what our climate models make of things!
You used to take Reddit's operations as the unquestioned truth?
I've always kind of had a crush on Steve Ballmer, he just seems like a real jolly fellow. After reading the excerpts, that crush only grew.
He's a criminal, and criminals should go to jail. Only after release they should be deported.

Cost is not the issue. The issue is letting criminals go unpunished, because their only sentence is getting a free ride back to their country (which, btw, is also paid by taxpayers dollars).
The Country That Doesn't Exist
It's like RSS on a sugar rush.
Depending on the reason for the departures (voluntary, involuntary) these could present opportunity for some brave folks who like a bit of excitement in their job. Of course, everyone has to make their own judgement as to whether this is a good opportunity or one they'd rather pass.

Just saying where there is change there is opportunity.
What this article doesn't cover are how to set up the things that make Github so useful like issue tracking and pull requests. Github (and similar services like bitbucket) are more than just Git.
This is exactly the kind of book I had in mind when I posted the question. It's scary how often I think about it, especially when going through doors.
>1. The consistency: it's just one rule

...Which is?
Yes, people want to be important to other people, and with Twitter you can feel quite unimportant. I use it mainly for news and technical QA stuff. You CAN meet likeminded people there, but in my experience you only really connect if you meet them on a conference or meetup at some point.
CBO reports are done within the confines of the request, opening them up to a garbage in, garbage out scenario. The reports are supposed to be non-partisan, but a report request can be crafted in such a way that it's essentially weaponized non-partisanship.
The only way for software to grow is to have et available for everyone to do with it as they please.

The parent post has a "چ" or "cheem" character, which is neither Arabic nor required in this case. That character is used in Persian, Urdu, Pashto, etc., but not in Arabic.

A more phonetic transliteration of "Arabic is a Semitic language, Turkish and the other Turkic languages are not" is:

أَرَبِكْ ازْ أَ سِمِتِكْ لانجوِج، تِركِشْ أَندْ اُذَرّ تُركِكْ لانجوِجزّ أَرْ نَتْ

Deployment is definitely harder, but not to the point where it's unmanageable. Click once is one solution that's very common, though not great. It will check a url for a new version at startup and install that version. This URL can be a simple aspx page that gives each user the right version, I recently automated this as part of our CI deployment.

A better solution would be something like chocolatey (https://chocolatey.org/), which is basically a package manager for windows. It doesn't do the automatic updating, but doing that with a remote powershell script should be doable.

For some perspective though, if you automate this as part of a CI builds it should be a once off cost, it's not a justification to make something a web app instead.
That's not private. If you cant see the silicone, consider it compromised.
There was no kidnapping. She had to take that first step to protect herself and her kids. In the end things worked out fine for everyone involved. It was a long time ago....
Could it be the front-and-center red * bolded * text? Or perhaps the logo with the clipped words?
That has to be Adob€ honestly. Just throwing a dollar in there does not work for me :)
Then click again. And then again. Oops, clicked the picture instead of the text? Go back and try again. But don't accidentally click on the whitespace or you'll have to start over. I'm pretty sure the UI is 100% driven by counting "engagement" events rather than providing usability.
I like your idea! I too have been interested in staying in a different city (NYC) to check out the tech-scene before considering relocating there. Though I've been to NYC probably 10+ times to visit family, I have yet to see if it's a place "tech-worthy" enough to consider making a home there (in the sense of having enough job opportunities, like-minded folk, etc).

I found this digital.nyc site which has a lot of resources. Perhaps SF has a similar site.
I hope he focus on collecting and funneling the data vs. spending a ton on analyzing the current easily available data.

It's fascinating how great leaders do PR by making it seem they run the whole show, therefore making them look even greater.
To give pause that only revered CEOs can bring meaningful change in this world. This view is especially prevalent in the Tech world.
I think it's probably a bit late in some ways, and my understanding is is that there are a fair few other visas that work for this purpose.

Personally, I think this is pandering, after the damage has been done.

Back in the day it was prohibitively expensive to colo your own box just for fun, so you got someone who already had a box to throw you an account in exchange for not hammering it. We used to keep collections of shells across the net. Now they're mainly for nostalgia, camaraderie, and a quick remote terminal if your own system is inaccessible. Them being usually free makes it unnecessary to have your own vps if all you need is a remote place to run commands from.
I would say (not a lawyer and all that) but if you've been granted the visa now you're home and hosed. The wheels will probably take a while to turn.

Anecdotally, one job in Melbourne about three years ago comprised about 20-30 457 visa developers, and 3-4 local developers. Either there is a huge shortage and we missed the boat on education, or companies are abusing it (imo).

Edit: Where I was going with that last thought: companies weren't happy paying the IT rates they were (which to my mind were less than most trades and most professions, in any case), so they've imported workers that will work for less. Companies still want this, and Turnbull as a result still wants this, so I wouldn't worry about finding a way around it if it becomes an issue.
I found this video very interesting. I always hear about the sexist tech culture, but I've never been a witness to it. Seeing this video helps me get a more complete picture. I can now see how an asshole like this would take his attitude to work and treat female employees in a similar manner.

Obviously this is not unique to tech, but hearing a guy beat his wife over a "bug", something I deal with and talk to people about at work daily, is really disturbing in a unique way.
Okay, so _you_ will never forgive them for that. I doubt that you can apeak for most of OSS.

I was pissed at the time, I've loathed them plenty. But corporations are not people, they are generally without morals, I never expected them to be or do good.

Now the leadership is different, the company mostly acts differently. I can still be vary of them but I'll applaud their good calls.
Horrific Bombing of People Trying to Leave Village in Syria
Twitter's problem is not failure to grow. It's failure to achieve profitability. That's inexcusable for a company that pays nothing for content and operates a relatively simple service. What on earth do they need 3500 employees for?
Flask.io for sale
Derp. There's nothing for wercker to compete on (afaict).
This story just left me so sad, so horrified, tears in my eyes. I don't know what we can do in the west to end the Syrian war. I can't imagine anyone who would setup a bombing of basically refugees. I know it probably happens all over the world every day, but my government better not be supporting anyone who does thinks like this.
I used to play with this as a kid. I couldn't script it, but I could remove the headers from a bmp and add the headers for a wav in a hex editor. Then I tried all the effects in audacity. The resulting images were pretty cool (only grayacale).

I also tried different audio compressions on the picture. Ogg vorbis even looked better than mp3, haha.
I play basketball for 30-45 minutes everyday. It made all the difference for me getting back into good shape - feel good shape - and I do hit some of the euphoria every once in a while as well. Plus, after some years of this, sugar, cholesterol, tsh, etc. are back to normal. I'm not so sure about BP trends but am tracking it. I hope it helps there as well.
I've tried to follow a few "industry leaders" but in the end it is all way too shallow on twitter to be useful.

Same here, especially since I am working on the same problem and in fact also plan to try out denoising autoencoders to reduce the sparse EMR data into more learnable features. I am also using NLP on the medical notes to generate additional features. It is good to see promising results from these approaches. I will read this paper closely tomorrow but from what I have skimmed it looks well written.
