The problem is the license, which ZFS on Linux covers a bit here: https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/wiki/FAQ#licensing

You can see some of the fun hoops you have to go through to get ZFS as your root filesystem here: https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/wiki/Ubuntu-16.04-Root-on-...

For now I just have 4 disks in a ZFS-raid for storage, and then I have installed my OS on a separate SSD.

Do you also mean FCT/UNL? Interesting, I didn't knew about it.
If I remember correctly, I believe perl was created to combine the power of sed and awk into a single tool so you didn't have keep switching back and fourth between the two.

Personally, I would suggest AWK for one to two liners when doing some one time data transform tasks. Anything more complicated and I would suggest a more "fully-fledged scripting language"

It's happening via NAS-type devices - a lot of those use ZFS behind the scenes. Once people get used to that kind of functionality, they'll ask why their computer doesn't do that on its local drive, maybe.

Succubox, the game
Let's think about this for a minute. (ignoring if the tech works)

1. For people without a security system, there are many simple ways to get into a house. If you are worried about people getting into your house, you might not want this, but you better also already have a nice security system (that is also not on a botnet).

2. At least for us, we generally recognize our UPS & USPS folk that deliver to our house.

3. This has a log and video of the drop off.

4. Who do you trust more? The people delivering your package or the random person driving around the neighborhood looking for packages that would imply you are not at home? (or just grabbing your package)

All that said, usually someone is at home when we get deliveries so I wouldn't buy it (also don't use Amazon much). But I don't see the reason for the backlash.
On the one hand, I can definitely understand all the "nope" in this thread.

On the other hand, I wonder why the camera is a required part of this system.
Exactly. Companies need to stop pretending that they are selling their customers on "disruption" or "a movement".

Consumers are not dumb. We see through all the marketing-speak and see your product for what it is.

If its a good product at a good price that ALSO attempts to make a market better - I'm in. Otherwise, spend less on marketing and more on making a better product.

If you really want to "Disrupt" or create a "movement", get into the non-profit sector. At least then we (as consumers) know you aren't full of bullshit.
it’s not a function of having gone to college. my parents and other family members have stem-related graduate degrees from state schools but were entirely ineffective in educating me on how the social aspect works. they just had no idea how the ruling class / managerial swath of society really works.
There's actually a super simple solution for your concerns - don't choose the "in-home delivery" option.

Yeah, I've never understood that. When I was quite the neophyte I thought interpreted languages couldn't be compiled, and then Common Lisp enlightened me.

Those statements are too broad to be anything other than flamebait. Which specific code did you benchmark?

That’s not to say that CPython isn’t slower than a compiled language but in common usage the gaps usually end up being much smaller because most of us aren’t paid to run fib() and things like I/O dominate or code ends up being in the same C libraries (libjpeg, OpenSSL, etc.).

I’ve seen multiple cases where Python beat C/Go because the app used something like dictionaries which was heavily optimized C code in the standard library.

Again, compiled languages should usually win but the details matter, especially since most people don’t do the exact same work you do. Simply tossing around big numbers with no support contributes noise rather than insight to the conversation.

I flagged this. "Successful" suggests it actually prevented aging. From the comments here, and on Reddit, it looks like that's sensationalism.

I say "almost" because it's not same-day: it's overnight.

No.

BCD applies to costs of production in which a given factor (typically labour) hasn't had its productivity increased, but because it competes for other employment, the price paid for it if any of the resulting good is to be provided must keep pace.

The interesting part is what BCD doesn't describe, which is the amount of the good provided. The canonical case is the string quartet: you need four performers, no matter how much technology you've got. But: the total demand for string quartets need not remain constant. Tastes could change favouring other forms of music, recordings or broadcasts can increase the productivity of the four essential players, etc.

(The evolution of popular music from self-provisioned to big band to amplified orchestra to amplified three- or four-piece rock groups, to synthesizer, to disco, rap, house/hip-hop, and now extensive one-person sampling acts, is one example of the type of shifts that can occur.)

The "factors of production" in housing are raw materials, housing, and land. Land itself is the original rent-seeking good, for various reasons that ... modern economics fails to explain very well. My argument is that land is a network of control points (owning land gives you control in the right to exclude others), and with varying access costs to other useful capabilities (manufacture, employment, trade, education, entertainment, ag, etc.). The characteristic of economic rents is that the prices they command rise to include part, or all, of the consumer surplus. This contrasts with commodities and labour in which prices generally fall to costs. That paired relation is David Ricardo's famous two observations: the Iron Law of Wages, and the Law of Rent.

(This is why I see both a rent tax and some mix of UBI / employer of last resort with a living wage guarantee as a probably necessary economic policy.)

So, thanks for the opportunity to play with some economic concepts, but Baumol's got nothing to do with this. Your men are Ricardo and George.

The rust belt is north of Kansas and slightly east. Basically the states ringing the Great Lakes. Wisconsin and Illinois all the way over to western NY.

Manufacturing used to be concentrated in these areas because it was cheaper to ship raw materials (especially heavy and bulky ones like coal or iron ore) in and manufactured goods out over water to the ports and population centers that at the time were heavily concentrated on the east coast.

As an added bonus, the region was conveniently (and thus inexpensively) close to the coal producing regions of Appalachia that produced the fuel that powered the factories.

Once railways augmented the port network, the Great Lakes port towns were some of the first and best connected to the rail system because they were already so important economically, and rail connections reinforced their position.

Especially because even with rail you would save days and dollars getting your goods from Chicago to NY compared to the time it would take to ship them from Topeka to NY - and the same applied to acquiring raw materials.

Rail also allowed towns in the region that weren't directly on the Great Lakes or the Ohio or Mississippi rivers to participate in the boom by building spur lines. Since steel production in particular was concentrated in the region, industries that relied on steel had incentive to concentrate there, near their suppliers.

The de-emphasis of boat and rail for shipping, and their replacement by trucks in the second half of the 20th century wasn't the deciding factor in the collapse of these towns' economies, but it didn't help either because it eroded their existing advantages.

Edited to add (though this is already long): the erosion of job opportunity in the US for the past couple decades has been occurring everywhere other than a few major cities such as New York and SF (and a few outliers like Pittsburgh, which was one of the hardest hit rust belt cities but has recently rebounded as a center for the medical and bioengineering industries).

Cities outside the rust belt (including those in Kansas) have also seen an erosion in opportunity as manufacturing and other mid-skill jobs have left the country or been automated away or further concentrated in the major coastal cities.

The rust belt was just the first region to be hit visibly by the problem, as much as 20 years before the impact became obvious in the rest of the country. It had farther to fall, too, being not just a stable economic region but a powerhouse.

It’s funny because deployment is one of the reasons I hear Python data people trash on R. In general, I’d agree with them that it’s slightly harder for systems people to grok R, but on the other hand I don’t exactly see Python as a shining beacon.
We can if we want. The problem is that there is no useful way to define division by zero, and have it work well with all the other rules of arithmetic that we want to continue working.

2. At least for us, we generally recognize our UPS & USPS folk that deliver to our house.

I would not recognize the Amazon subcontractors that visit my house/office. They are optimizing for least cost.
Maybe I'm seeing it wrong -- but "giving a company full access" isn't exactly right. Its more, you have "the ability to control who has access to your locks and Amazon is probably your biggest user".

Some other anecdotes:

When my townhome was broken into, I learned that windows are way less secure than smart locks. If someone wants in your home, they're going to get in.

When my house caught on fire, I would have loved to have been able to let the first-responder in remotely as we were an hour away, the fire company was 20 mins, and seconds count.
The license is only a problem for gpl. Note that FreeBSD uses zfs and has for quite some time.
For me, yes. I use Python plenty too, but Awk is great for a tiny state machine, and unique in the ease of setting up an event stream view of a text file. I could use Python, add a loop and a big set of conditionals—but a one page awk program gets all that right.
Can you provide some pointers / examples? This is an honest question -- I am not an expert on bare computation speed, but this (two orders of magnitude vs C++) has not been my experience.
Why is the `var` keyword required in function arguments if it's dynamically typed and there's no other possible option?
Okay. That addresses one update; how about the main focus of my comment, the thousands of low-value tweets that @ mention companies and people?
And if it quacks like a duck only nine times of ten, you’re outta luck.
If it's like other "smart" locks, it lets you know its state and can be locked remotely.
* for search and replace on entire lines and other address based filtering, I prefer sed (or perl if I need PCRE features like non-greedy, lookarounds, code in substitution section, etc)

* for field processing, most multiple line processing, use of logic operators, arithmetic, control structures etc, I prefer awk or perl

* this repo is aimed at command line text processing tools, most awk examples given are single line, a few are 2-3 lines. Personally I prefer Python for larger programs

The general consensus for the argument where dynamic languages are better and easier to use are

* Safety: Each data carries it's type at run-time, there are no overflow or NULL ptr problems as in statically typed languages. E.g. arithmetic is exact. Memory Safety.

* Easier to develop and debug: You don't have to get right at the first, time, you can iteratively improve the code, e.g. via debugging or refinements, until it works correctly. With statically typed language you have to first make it compile and fix all the errors at once. Generic data structures and methods are much easier to use than specialized.
The cheapest version of macOS for anyone that needs to use it, costs 570 € in Germany (Mac mini) for the very first version, excluding the free upgrades.

Any other commercial OS at enterprise level is way beyond that in developer licenses.
I use awk every day because I need state (I work with text files full of sections and subsections) but I am sure that there has to be something better out there.

What is the definitive tool to process text? Perl? Haskell? Some Lisp dialect?
The general idea of Coda, unifying document text and calcultion code is very attractive. Jupyter notebooks do something similar in a different Domain. Yet the result in Coda looks much more sleek and polished than Jupyters cells.

A smaller example of programs that go into the same direction would be Soulver (on OSX), NaSc (on Linux) or CalcNote (on Android). Theese three of course have a much smaller feature set and different goals than Coda.

The main culprit I see with Coda is the reliance on one closed source software product maintained by a commercial company with a closed source file format. I think Google (Reader) should have taught us something about relying on software that you don't even remotely control or understand.

Jupyters next iteration, JupyterLab, is giving users more flexibility in terms of screen estate layout, but it will look even more technical instead of more elegant and integrated. Maybe inspiration for further iterations can be drawn from Coda (and good old MathCAD) for a more integrated future version.

Until then staying with Emacs/Spacemacs and org-mode/org-babel gives you the flexibility for output in a lot of different high quality formats AND the guarantee that your carefully crafted documents will be accessible decades in the future.
I'll admit that I don't know perl, which I believe is the typical sed+awk replacement.

According to my potentially miscalibrated gut, referencing a "fully-fledged" scripting language in a shell script or at the command line is an indication that you should probably just be working in that environment in the first place.

There will be exceptions, it depends chiefly on the problem being solved, but overall I prefer my shell scripts to reference utilities with very specific purposes. It feels UNIXier that way.
>On the side of Giant Bank, they suddenly have 150,000 lawsuits filed against them and have to act in some way. Is that even allowed? Would a court just tell the law firm to go away and stop spamming it?

This sounds fairly similar to how the Church of Scientology blackmailed the US government into giving it tax exempt status. They filed millions of lawsuits against every IRS employee and drowned them in it until they gave in. It worked out extremely well for them, so it may work out the same in your example.
Yeah, I attended it until a few years ago. They're also teaching OCaml and Prolog, but Java is the main language for algos, and for the AI class too. C is only now used for the Systems class.

Not sure what your point is.

Perhaps you are too young to have experienced only having access to the internet via a shared UNIX system which in turn was only accessible by serial terminal?
Certificates are usually issued back-dated by one hour. Most clients on the Internet are correct +/- 60 minutes, because of a mixture of small timezone errors, daylight saving being wrongly observed / not observed / not updated and similar. It is rare for clients to have the wrong date.

Back dating with a technical rationale (e.g. to work around crap clocks and historically as a way to hide more entropy near the start of the signed certificate) is accepted in the Web PKI, it is only forbidden to use back dating to try to dodge Baseline Requirements, for example back dating to avoid the restriction on SHA-1 after 2015 was prohibited and is one of the things StartCom / WoSign were caught doing.
They looked at a related issue not too long ago.

In the article the author says,

> Customer Controlled Keys’ ambition is to provide customers with the ability to control the generation, rotation, deprecation and audit trail of their own encryption keys on our SaaS platform. It’s something we’re very interested in at Koan, as we feel it takes a significant step towards the “holy grail” of enterprise grade, multi-tenant SaaS software.

This is a nice option, but remember that the durability of customer master keys is different to the durability of those generated in KMS. In the event of a regional power outage or serious failure, you will need to re-import the key material and if you've lost it, your data is lost. I don't feel this is made obvious enough and I wanted to bring that to the attention of those interested in KMS.

The 'boring' things (i.e. the enterprise market) is also 'harder' most of the time because they require a broader range of skills and greater perseverance. You can validate and get growth in a freemium model, but then the hard work to get real sales process begins.

You only consent to allow delivery people into your home, not the police. The 4th amendment doesn't have a trickery loophole, your reasonable expectation of privacy is always with respect to the police, not to other businesses and people you give trust to. The police can't set up a fake carwash and then warrantlessly search all of the cars that show up just because you're handing over the keys and consenting to let strangers in. Your home would be no different.

Another, perhaps better example: a landlord typically has a set of keys and the right to access a tenant's apartment. In a commercial building, those keys could be held by any number of "strangers" on the maintenance staff. The police still need a warrant, they can't just ask the landlord for a set of keys. That's really not any different from having the "keys" held by Amazon staff members.

There are lots of instances where a person's expectation of privacy is low with respect to specific people/businesses but high with respect to the government, and that doesn't weaken their 4th amendment protections.
5. Amazon also contracts deliveries out (at least in Toronto). I've had guys in unmarked cars show up with packages.
