He his talking about "best level of data protection in a small office/home office (SOHO) environment".

Trying to do this with FS features is misguided.

You need to have backups, and have regular practice in restoring from backups.

Some organizations need fancy filesystems in addition to backups, because they want to have high availability that will bridge storage failures. But that has a high cost in complexity, you should only consider it if you have IT/sysadmin staff and the risk management says it's worth the investment in cognitive opportunity cost, IT infrastructure complexity and time spent.

Observation: So if it had been the practice to hire "adult supervision" for young innovative founders at startups, why is there such a disparity in the number of startups with individuals with great ideas, Drive and ability who are in their 40 to say mid fifties. Given that most startups are rapidly grown and acquired or go public in the first 5-7 years, if that long, surely SV can see the benefit of funding startups based on idea, Drive and ability rather than just on age, idea, etc.

Out of curiosity, what are the ages of the oldest startup team ever to go through Y Combinator? Not the average age of founders but the oldest. The application clearly asks for founders ages but is there a cutoff age that would not even be considered regardless of idea?
Well, a lot of websites are currently based in the US, and policies like this would hurt newer players. Over time, I'd expect more startups to be successful outside the US than inside.

I'm American and I also wish that this policy didn't impact the world but the fact is that the world is connected, and pollution made in one place will eventually drift and effect another place.

I don't want to overstate how big of a worldwide impact this policy would have, just pointing out it does have some. If anything, it's an opportunity for other countries to operate differently and attract top tech talent, sort of like France is trying to do.

Negative, you wont know you _need_ to use the backups without these FS features, and by the time you finally do you could have rotated through them.

No one is betting that the current version of Bitcoin is the future of currency. They are betting that the version of Bitcoin that exists in 20 or 30 years is the future of currency.

I guess that's the root of our disagreement then. I don't see him as a run-of-the-mill asshole. I see him as one of the most dangerous people in the entire world. I could point to some other national leaders who on the surface seem way worse than Putin, but those people aren't smart enough or powerful enough to have the kind of impact on the world that he does.

I think Putin is way more intelligent, capable, and ambitious than Duterte for example, and Duterte certainly fits into the "psychopathic authoritarian monster" stereotype far more obviously than Putin does. But Putin in the long term can do far more damage to the world at large. Duterte is a cartoon, and as awful as he is, I don't think he has ambitions beyond his own borders. Putin most definitely has such ambitions, and the ability to achieve them. And of course, in a selfish sense I'm extra worried about him because he's clearly hostile to my country, and the values and ideals that I hold, as well as the values and ideals that my country holds (at least on paper, even if it doesn't always do a great job of representing them).
Why not? They are solving a problem that other cryptocurrencies have yet to face.
The timestamp would work fine, but if you do a dense_rank you could easily include the number of events per message. They're not doing that in the example but perhaps the application they're basing the blog on does.
I've never heard of "Chesterton's Fence" before and appreciate the introduction to the term. That said, I don't think your application is correct. The OP in this case is not the agent of change — he did not "reform" anything and does not have the capacity to act, he just analyzed/synthesized existing data.

(Also, on reflection, "Chesterton's Fence" is an unnecessarily complicated and overly verbose way of saying: "The MTA probably has a reason for the change.")
It seems fickle as hell to withdraw on a client's case just because you can't eat at your favorite high end restaurant anymore. Still considering the way I've seen a lot of lawyers behave, it doesn't surprise me.
Burst of bootcamp bubble? Dev Bootcamp seems to have been the first ever coding bootcamp. Think Hack Reactor (another popular bootcamp) was founded by Dev Bootcamp grads. Or maybe the herd would just distribute to other bootcamps? Even if the failure of Dev Bootcamp doesn't directly hurt the business of other bootcamps, it has a psychological effect on the bootcamp industry: suddenly the bootcamp experience doesn't seem so attractive anymore. If the school failed to survive, does it affect the survival of its graduates? Is this going to have a psychological effect on how industry views bootcamp grads, and consequently affect the job prospects of bootcamp grads?

Ask the company for other customers you can talk to and then take a few members of the system engineering team responsible for supporting it out for dinner to learn the real story.

In truth though, a lot of enterprise software sucks and it sucks to support but there are usually few better options. Often velocity is the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd priority so it's easier to pickup some shitty software and spend some engineering resources to 'make it work' than it is to try to internally sell investing the resources needed to build a better bespoke solution.

The Scala.js compiler, thanks to its static types, precisely knows which property accesses refer to "internal" properties (defined in Scala code, which can be renamed) and which ones refer to external JavaScript code (which cannot). It then simply always emit the former using dot notation (foo.bar) and the latter with bracket notation (foo["bar"]). This allows Closure to rename all internal property accesses but not external property accesses.

It's even slightly more powerful than using externs: if you use the same property name both in internal accesses and external ones, Scala.js can rename the former without touching the latter. An externs-based solution won't be allowed to rename the internal accesses.

Exactly. Most CS curriculums have an OS and compiler course where you write one. Does the world need each student to write a new compiler or OS? No, but writing a toy version is incredibly helpful in learning how one works when you interact with it.

It's called User Activated Soft Fork or UASF for short. It could end up being nothing but it's worth noting the date.

There are currently two main ideas on how to scale Bitcoin. One camp is the called Bitcoin Unlimited and it's a proposal that allows the miners to adjust the block size as needed.

The other idea is called Segregated Witness or Segwit. This is a change in the way bitcoin transactions are counted towards the 1MB per block limit. It will allow slightly more transactions per block but also adds functionality that could allow other types of transactions. Those will be useful in some situations, e.g. paying the same entitiy many times over the course of the relationship.

Some people in the Segwit camp are tired of waiting so they are attempting to force the issue without the support of most miners. The date they picked is Aug 1.

Since very few miners support this move, it's not likely to succeed in my opinion, but nobody knows for sure.
Rent is certainly huge. These guys are renting prime time space in city centers.

My (limited) understanding is that a Level-3 system will sound an alarm, and tell you take control, if it sees something unexpected, such as a truck stopped in the middle of the highway ahead. Whereas the Tesla expects you, rather than the system, to monitor roadway conditions ahead and decide whether to take control.
I find bootcamps to be an interesting industry.

The general perception is that they're learning institutions, but that couldn't be further from the truth. In reality, bootcamps are technical recruitment agencies.

Companies are realizing that smart, motivated people with no CS degree can still oftentimes excel in the majority of positions (primarily app development.) The problem is finding those people. Bootcamps have stepped in to bridge that gap - they essentially screen for people who learn quickly, teach them the bare essentials, and send them on their way.

This means bootcamps have a symbiotic relationship with the quality of students they're able to attract. The best bootcamps turn out the highest quality students, who then get the best jobs, which makes the bootcamp look better.

Dev Bootcamp was always in that awkward position where it was trying to be one of the "premiere" bootcamps, but never actually made it to tier 1 status. It's always lived in the shadow of Hack Reactor, Fullstack Academy, and to a lesser extent, App Academy. Having personally worked with Dev Bootcamp graduates, I've felt that on average, they were much weaker than the graduates from the other bootcamps I mentioned.

Since Hack Reactor in particular has been expanding its reach to additional locations, Dev Bootcamp was probably getting boxed out of the premium bootcamp space. The founders were unwilling to be relegated to tier 2 (or the demand was dropping too fast) so they had to pull out.

It's a shame, but I can't say I'm entirely surprised.
it could even be guerrilla marketing by trading exchanges...
I don't know much about University of Phoenix, but I've hired a couple of bootcamp graduates, found through the bootcamp recruiting events. They were both pretty inexperienced, but motivated and smart people. As good as any junior programmers I've hired. In the right circumstances I'd hire them again.

It's diamonds-in-the-rough from a recruiting standpoint, but you get to vet a lot of people very quickly (it was exhausting) and if there's one thing you can be sure of, it's that their motivated (good bootcamps are not cheap, and they're hard work).

How things worked out for the rest of the graduates I don't know... Both people I hired had some experience before bootcamp
My youngest brother went through Dev Bootcamp in 2012. He had graduated from a top 30 university but wasn't able to find a great job and had been doing some part time, low skill work.

DBC literally changed his life. Post graduation he immediately got a job at a dev shop as a programmer, and now 5 years later is a great developer gainfully employed in Silicon Valley.

Not sure why you would shit on the grave of a program that has done a lot of good for its graduates.
good library!
I would guess it was Kaplan's decision. If the cause is unprofitability, then there are no moves left for DBC. DBC sold to Kaplan for the money, and Kaplan sees no money to be made in DBC, thus shuts it down.
Not sure why you were downvoted, it's a good point.

Many current bootcamps were duping students into promises of jobs, and making them pay large tuition fees up front. Very similar to what the scam universities are known to do - promise how the degree will help someone get a job, and then charge them large fees.

A friend of mine did DBC, and my sense was that many of their friends in the program struggled for a long time to get jobs.

Also, the founders I know stopped looking at some bootcamp grads, as they found them to be very low quality (this was noted to me back in 2014, may have changed).
It could be a bit more creative. Like just insert some top HN posts into my feed rather than replacing the entire thing. Would be helpful.

There's been a debate (the "scaling debate") raging in the Bitcoin community for years. It's been especially bad the past two. I'll skip the details, but essentially two different visions for Bitcoin's growth have emerged.

Both sides have proposed ways forward, only to be rejected by the community. A large number of companies and miners in the space came together recently in New York to agree on a compromise. The New York Agreement (NYA) was to combine two of the proposals- Segregated Witness, a soft-fork that provides some new features and a modest capacity increase, and a 2-MB hardfork.

In response, extremists on the "small-blocker" side have declared that they'll likely force a chain-split on August 1st via a so-called "use-activated soft-fork".

Now it's time to see what the market thinks :)

Potassium is one of the most important nutrients for keeping the heart healthy. This mineral is needed for muscle contraction (which is required for the heart to beat). A 100,000 times a day, potassium helps trigger the heart’s squeeze of blood throughout the body. As a food source, bananas have one of the highest potassium contents available. The daily recommended amount of potassium is about 2,300 mg.

Repeat visit, of course :) The service worker can't do anything before it's installed (during the first visit). The browsers' network cache is great, but IIUC the browser still performs those 'if-modified-since' requests, doesn't it? Additionally, depending on your server setup and CDN, some assets may have a short max-age value, meaning they're reloaded more often than needed. With service worker, the website can create its own cache and have full control over it. In other words, the site can guarantee that its assets will be loaded directly from the browser's memory.
