I'm feeling a subtext here that maybe RH isn't a desired place to work, when I've always imagined the opposite. Is this the case?
There are many different ways that storage can be layered, and depending on your use case, you can put various advanced features (snapshots, checksum/data integrity, encryption, etc.) functionality in different places in the storage stack. You can put functionality the block device layer (e.g., lvm, dm-thin, dm-verity), you can put functionality into the file system, you can put functionality into the cluster filesystem (if you have such a thing), or you can put iti in the application level.

Depending on the requirements of your use case different choices will make more sense. It's important to remember that RHEL is used for enterprise customers, and what might be common in the enterprise world might not be common for yours, and vice versa. Certainly, if you are using a cluster file system, it makes no sense to do checksum protections at the disk file system level, because you will be using some kind of erasure coding (e.g., Reed Solomon error correcting codes) to protect against node failure. This will also take care of bit flips.

If you are using cloud VM's, or if you are using Docker / Kubernetes, then LXC won't make sense. It all depends on your technology choices, and so it's important to look at the big picture, not just at the individual file system's features.
Also, not obvious that this is even a side project. The repo has four contributors. Could well be an internal Clojure training thing or something.

Does anyone ever wonder which school these people go to to be trained in such a duplicitous way of thinking or do they really believe they are protecting everyone from the terrorists? As the article clearly demonstrates, Amber Rudd conflates the need to monitor and remove public information with the need to monitor everyone's private information.

This sort of "tough love" probably plays well politically with most of the population, who can't really think of a reason they'd like their privacy protected.

I really can't get my head around why all politicians (across the world right now really) converge on the same draconian policies.

Good call. We're on Comcast in Boston. No issues switching to a different ISP.
We can label it with all sorts of names but at the base level it's just old-fashioned corruption. Favors for favors and I-scratch-your-back kind of stuff.
Yes, stay far behind the barely-braking heavy loads and get far in front of the loose unsecured loads.

I was driving a highway in Colorado and I saw a flatbed with a bunch of large haybales, cubes of about 6' each. The top one was unsecured, so I raced out in front of that truck. A few minutes later I saw it fly off the top of the truck behind me. The highway was eerily empty behind me for a while after that. Scary stuff!
It depends on what you're doing with the data. If you're moving it to some long term archive then you only need to count the write time of the disks at the source, packing time, and unpacking time.

If you're planning to actually use the data you need to add in the time need to read the tapes and put them on a usable medium.

Once you add in all of the overhead, the network comes out looking much better in comparison.

I switched to Nightly based on comments on this thread and it's great.

Much more streamlined UI, and much faster. I already preferred Firefox because of better handling of large numbers of tabs, but Nightly beats Chrome even at smaller number of tabs so far (I synced my FF account so my extensions, etc got reproduced, and I manually replaced legacy ones with newer ones). I still have to see how it holds up over a period of use, but so far with my data synced it looks great.
Hasn't anyone heard of disaster recover plans? I used to work at a medium sized insurance company and every year we had a project to update our disaster recovery plans. Including our main inhouse datacenter going down. If it was a critical system you'd better have a plan to get it back up in like 4 hours. and those were business critical we didn't have any life critical systems.

Very nice contribution! I did not even know there was a plugin architecture for Helm tbh
Having grown up in a pet-friendly family, I have started to think about how we view pets as property. For the most part, being a pet does have advantages to the animal involved - they get a warm, dry bed, regular food and someone to play with. For many, that's a substantially better life than living feral. But we do restrict the animal's freedom in the process.

I realised back in my teens that I have no right to keep a caged animal. As a family, we lost a lot of rabbits due to foxes, and had a procession of hamsters. If I have children, they won't be allowed caged animals, ever.

On the flipside, I love cats, mostly because they are highly independent animals. A cat will keep coming around so long as it benefits them; the scheming little creatures hold grudges. Dogs, by contrast, are sometimes subject to horrifying abuse and will still trust humans. Behaviours like this have probably been deeply ingrained in animals as part of being domesticated.

It is wrong to keep an animal against its will, I'm starting to appreciate that now. But I would find it very difficult to give up the idea of keeping a pet cat - they're reliable companions, and probably some of the lure is that they don't talk back, like family members.

I'd heard about the numbers of shelter animals killed (let's not beat around the bush here, they're not 'put to sleep', that's the nice term for an animal with a terminal condition. These are healthy animals, and we as humans have decided they need to be owned like property) every year. Though I am astonished to read that people used to have their animals killed and buy new ones when going on holiday - that's disturbing.

It's difficult to answer. I think a balance can be struck with mutual respect - so long as the animal has a reason to stay with you, and isn't restricted from breaking off on their own, I don't see a problem.
Red Hat will never ship ZFS, because its an entity that exists in the US and a probable target for lawsuits / license violation if ZFS is included.
The writers seem to be solid Apple fans and exaggerate their influence. With billions in free marketing from every media site on the planet, Apple would be pretty much irrelevant already.
Yeah, my comment came off a little harsh. I'm not discouraging someone from creating a Go IDE like Delphi, I'm just saying that one should be prepared to make allowances for what the language can/cannot do, given that one cannot change the language. The original Delphi team had the enviable position of being able to modify the language to suit the IDE, and vice-versa.

I had the opposite experience. I would read my Math book and read about Logo. But, I never experienced a class that taught me how to use Logo. Eventually I taught myself how to code in Scheme in high school but eschewed going into AP CS which I realize was a mistake.

> Even the calmer takes on this are anthromorphizing the machines too much and attributing intelligence to the complete lack thereof.

Exactly. I haven't read the details of the implementation of the system mentioned in the article, but the outputs remind me a lot of
what was returned by a text generating neural network of this tutorial that I did once:

http://machinelearningmastery.com/text-generation-lstm-recur...

Especially with fewer epochs (<10) the generated text was part gibberish, part endless repetitions of common phrases or basic words like "the" - simply
because (surprise!) "the" is one of the more frequently used words in speech.

Pulling this out of context, one could also say "This AI is inventing its own language, just by reading Alice in Wonderland!", which is of course utter bullshit.
I'm in Boston, and one of our IT guys reports "problems across the East coast... Reports of a fire in NY that's had an effect on multiple Tier 1 ISPs." It's affecting multiple services for us - not just S3.

Can't find the news sources he's pulling from, though...
I've knocked together a quick tool that might help to spot such typosquatting:

https://www.npmjs.com/package/check-typosquatters

(It's the first time I've published anything to npm so let me know if I have done anything wrong...)

It uses the list of package names from the all-the-package-names package and returns the 10 packages with the most similar names to the supplied parameter (using Levenshtein distance)

It also displays their rank based on dependent packages to give an idea of how they compare in usage.

I'm sure there are improvements that could be made - PRs welcome on the github repository.
I agree. As stated in the article the best thing many of these companies do is make their product easier to use. If they actually wanted to use a different service though, do you think they would find it hard?

At least. But I include it because OS X is the only other "real" consumer OS on the market.
Android can be used without any connection to Google at all. You have a more limited choice of software (using F-Droid, etc), but it's quite easy to do.
It is significantly less than the time required to lay the appropriate fiber coast to coast.
I thought it looked like a very clever way of advertising. It directly associates the brand with the idea of light.
The caveat to this might be the longer shipping times from China. I'm just bringing it up since this contest is also a race of sorts.
I'm not sure if I agree. There are many frameworks in the devops space with each having their own DSLs that had various learning curves. For example, I see companies split between Puppet, Chef, Salt, Ansible, etc...

It sucks, don't get me wrong, that there one hasn't come away from the pack, but I don't think it's likely that any of these orchestration frameworks will go away. Each of them have a pretty dedicated following with lots of developers behind it.

>Once you add in all of the overhead, the network comes out looking much better in comparison.

That's a broad assumption. There's a reason why AWS is finding demand for Snowball and Snowmobile. Internet connections just aren't that fast.
Yeah, you can buy those all-natural 100% potato french fries from the supermarket and fry them into something truly fantastic. When restaurant fries taste "frozen" it's because they're not being refried well.
There's no direct migration path from Swarm to Kubernetes, so we chose to start out at a small scale with the latter. It was enough of a leap to fundamentally change how we were building and deploying things. We didn't want to do it twice!

You can dodge much of the operational complexity in standing a cluster up by starting with Google Container Engine or a provisioner like kops. Once you have enough comfort, you can get more fancy and build something more customized to your cases.
Root | Columbus, OH | Full-time | Onsite | https://joinroot.com

Root is an auto insurance company, like GEICO and Progressive. We use data science to identify and insure good drivers, reducing insurance premiums for good drivers significantly as a result.

We're a startup — we're 34 people who have been working on this since March 2015. We've built an iOS and Android app that gathers data on how well people drive. We use that to set insurance prices. To build the best possible product and user experience, we went through the arduous process of starting an insurance carrier from scratch.

We raised a $7M Series A from Drive Capital in 2015 and we're looking to bring on a couple more talented engineers. Tech stack involves Ruby / Rails and Javascript / React Native.

> Fukushima didn't kill even ten people, let alone hundreds.

By official counts, 34 killed directly in the evacuation, 573 total, including indirectly, due to the disaster,and estimates are even with the evacuation, additional long-term cancer deaths due to the release could be in the 100+ range as well.
Brainfuck is also turing complete ;)
I don't like this argument.

Blindly attempting to suppress writings because of the actions of the author, if it worked, might serve to devalue violence as marketing, but it is never going to keep words from the true believers, who will just overvalue them because they're suppressed.

It also damages our ability to discuss the complaints voiced. Like it or not, some ideas that in the past have been promoted via violence turned out to be correct.

Finally, history is important. This, I hope, needs no explanation.
Billions of dollars to modernize plants? Where are you pulling that number from?

This is what parent meant - scaremongering (and resulting ridiculous hyperbole) destroys progress.
Obviously wrong with the article:

" You should not believe a single word any of those companies tells you about end-to-end encryption or privacy on their platforms ever again. "

Well, that's going to make it hard to have any discussion about privacy on the internet.

"If you’re still not convinced and feel that the UK government should have the right to spy on everyone, you can stop worrying. Because they already do."

Well in that case, what are we talking about?

The main reason there is nothing obviously wrong is because it doesn't really say anything, just keeps repeating "Amber says X, other online news source says not X. Amber is evil".
To a first approximation, the standard library on deployed Android phones is never updated.
As depressing as it may be, I don't really see a way out. The genie is out of the bottle now and any successful revolutionaries will also have an overwhelming urge to use this technology to cement their power.

Benevolent AIs may be an outside possibility. Otherwise, short of nuking ourselves back to the stone age, I think total surveillance societies are here to stay.

Spotify also has other restrictions on the free tier, though (for example, you have to have a premium account to run Spotify on a Fire TV Stick (or any other Amazon device AFAICT)).

I think it could be argued, though this article didn't seem to bother arguing it as much as it does for the other "pharaohs". Wasn't there an article here a few weeks ago about the green text bubbles?
"Poor academic and other performance is just one small symptom of larger systemic issues."

I'm still undecided on the startup rule but it seems to me that it's still worth raising the minimum H1-B wage if it can increase the wage of the average american tech worker.
There are minority shareholder rights. It's unfortunately a case of "you have to sue people who do that" instead of "it doesn't work", though.
I have thought about moving to South America and opening a startup there. I just don't know that there is sufficient talent to build up a team. We can't even fill our open positions in Southern California. I am curious, how many engineers from Silicon Valley would be interested in moving to South America? Mexico? Has anyone taken a poll?
For posterity it's notable that at this moment BTC is at $2694.88, while BCH is at $691.94.

Following your assumption that means that the split increased the total value by about $600!

Make of that what you will. :)
I don't get why this would be a positive thing for Red Hat's customers (or Red Hat, since stability/predictability is what Red Hat customers are paying for). There is a Red Hat-maintained Linux that is very close to upstream (Fedora). But the people who pay for RHEL don't want upstream and surprises, they want predictable for seven years and they're willing to pay a lot of money for that. Why would that be a negative for you or me? RHEL isn't breaking upstream with this practice, even if they are making mistakes in their own backports.

"edit: also stop incorrectly backporting security fixes and creating new CVEs. Seriously. Stop it."

Can you give some examples of cases where Red Hat introduced bugs in their backported patches? I follow RHEL CVEs relatively closely (because some of my packages are derived from their packages), and I can't think of an example of that happening. Debian has done so, but very rarely, that I can recall. (And, Ubuntu, too, since they just copy Debian for huge swaths of the OS.)
Visa availability is not the magic ingredient to replicate Sillicon Valley. High wages and high concentration of talent are. What would entice an Indian or Eastern European developer to move to Mexico?
"Gentry", surely, rather than "nobility". I remember no titles other than the obnoxious Lady Catherine de Burgh(?) in P&P; but then I'm not really a Janeite.

I don't think that you have to be a fanboy to enjoy Austen's novels. Some readers do seem to read her novels an awful lot, it's true.

(And I do not and will not believe that she would have tolerated the expression "personal flourishing" in her prose.)
Why? What is their motivation? I don’t know what’s in it for them unless they are invested in the company about which they are reporting, which would be unethical unless they disclosed it.
You could lose a lot more than $10. Looking at the first BTC trading platform I could find, SimpleFX[1], they are saying the Bitcoin/USD pair is going for $2k+ while Ethereum is around $219 and LiteCoin around $40. At 1:10 leverage you would need to put in over $200 to trade bitcoin, $42 to trade Ethereum and $4 to trade LiteCoin. Leverage is a risky game too.
