We're roughly in the market for a user-facing issue tracking solution for a commercial developer tools product. We've ended up with a discourse server, which is surprisingly good, but obviously there's room for improvement. So, sure, I had the most basic question: okay this thing is roughly in a product category I'm interested in. Is it worth trying? What does it have, what makes it different, and could it work for me?

The features page looks like it has most of the information I was looking for from the How It Works page. However your features page is laid out in a way that makes it very hard to use: I have to click a category, scroll down a whole screen, and then look at four paragraphs of text that together have about one paragraph of information. Then I have to scroll back up, click on another category, and scroll back down.
> If you want to contribute to the DevTools themselves

I wish I had the time. So I'll have to wait for someone else to add the element DOM properties tab in thr panel that has the style rules and layout. Firebug had it, Chrome has it.

The right click and then Show DOM Properties with the results in the console pane is just painful to use.
> The snark is totally unnecessary, since the vast majority of people deploy ELK to do reporting.

You shouldn't have used authoritatively universal quantifier. There are plenty
of sysadmins who use ES for this case, you apparently just happened to only be
exposed to using it with websites.

Then, what ES+Kibana give me over grep? Search over specific field (my logs
are parsed to a proper data structure), which includes type of event
(obviously, different types for different daemons), a query language, and
a frontend with histograms.

Mind you, troubleshooting around a specific event is but one of the things
sysadmins do with logs. There are also other uses, all landing in the realm of
post-hoc analysis.

I think the lack of standard ports, mag-safe, hdmi and sd card slots are big regressions in functionality.

Not to mention that the touchbar is not very useful, and as an emacs user, a big pain to not have a physical <esc> key.
ARM/PPC is fine, but Alpha took it too far in my opinion (and also didn't have a read memory barrier instruction---nowadays acquire and release memory barriers would probably be preferrable).
I reread it and didn't sense that tone at all. I wonder if it's possible the parent edited, because it seemed incredibly sarcastic earlier.
lucidworks made banana, a kibana port to solr, but never take off like kibana. I dont find the diferences between solr and elasticsearch so big, and always prefered the solr way of configurating things instead of the json api of elasticsearch. The solr data-import-handler has been also a big timesaver.
You've switched to multiple processes model, but you don't have "task manager" as Chrome. Do you plan to implement it in the future?
Kibana and histograms are reporting. Now the snark is even more confusing, since you’re doing exactly what I say is a poor fit, but claiming it’s not your use case. I spend what time I can trying to show those very same sysadmins you’re talking about why ES is a poor architecture for log work, particularly at scale.

As an SRE, I’ve built high volume log processing at every employer in multiple verticals, including web. I know what sysadmins do. Not a fan of the condescension and assumptions you’re making. I have an opinion. We differ. That’s fine. Let it be fine.
>Death is terrible, and should be eradicated

I strongly disagree with this statement. We learn through death, and yet we don't know what death is. We do not know the fundamentals of death, yet it occurs on all abstractions.

I think of this poetically, because I don't understand death. But all things being relative, life does not make sense without death.

Edit: On this topic I would also like to point out the eagerness of the immortal mindset. We are living 30 years+ in comparison to our ancestors, but it seems we approach an asymptote. With alzheimers and other neuro-degenerative diseases, we lose our mental faculties. We lose memories, emotions, we lose everything. Yes this is the topic at hand, but does that not indicate something fundamental as well? We have a reached a point where living implies the dissolution of what we used to be, of what we spent so long striving towards the future to do. And at that point of degeneration, we no longer exist in that sense. We can no longer orient ourselves towards the future, and decay while living.

If there is something after death-- if whatever composes our consciousness is actually tangible, autonomous, and not an emergent result of our brains (similarly, if emergence itself is autonomous), then after the alzheimers individual dies in body, he/she will not exist in consciousness either. After this point, his/her consciousness will have dissolved.

And these are rather philosophical points, but this is how I see things. Science and philosophy, science and spirituality even, do coexist in my subjective experience.

Jason from Elastic here. We are actively developing cross datacenter replication (internally we are calling it "cross cluster replication" so you will likely see it referred to this in the future but of course this is subject to change).

I can not give a timeframe, but it is one of the top features on the ES roadmap. :)

You might not know it, but by international treaties, Germany is banned from operating or having fuel reprocessing facilities.

As result, it either has to be reprocessed expensively in France, or stored directly.

> Also, in a global market there is no reason why any of that stuff has to be in your country.

You do know how prohibitively expensive transport is, and how many legal requirements there are (to avoid hijacking by some rogue nation)?
If you want to be correct, its more like "we've looked at your model and talked to the people that created it, and everyone that worked on it agrees that the debate is being driven by politics rather than science. We've found that emissions of the sun are responsible for 98% of the current climate change, that carbon is the smallest factor in the other 2%, and you are being set up for a global taxation system that is designed to establish control over everyone under a false premise."
How's Wolfram similar? what thoughts of his are "overblown"?

I'm curious because I don't see the parallels between the two, while you seem to imply some obviousness.
I think it's more about protecting the distiller's neighbors.
We observed in past that long GC is the cause of node failures. When long GC happens node doesn’t respond, master node decides that this node had left the cluster :\
> They're annoying because they would almost certainly be better as native apps

I definitely disagree. If something is truly an application and can also be done on the web, I vastly prefer that over native apps. Not having to worry about different OSes, different machines, updating, deployments, etc. Webapps have significant advantages over native here IMO.
First, I worked with Arnold Kling. He's a wonderful guy. I appear in his old book Under the Radar.

Second, Kurzweil is a creepy promoter of "inevitability." He is a bright guy with good access to privileged programmatic research. But he is a provocative peddling Howard Stern styled futurist.

I prefer Bill Joy's rightfully highlighting our policy options and virtues of learned caution. There are many things people can do we police against for good reasons.

Theoretical and now even many applied sciences deliver more cautionary signals than go-go-go signals. Software folks should take that as good news. Solving problems makes problems go away. Nice architecture and good food are their own problems without creating new ones.
> Until we each do our tiny parts of reducing our consumption, Earth's temperature will continue its steady march upward.

Now we're getting into the meat of the problem. If everyone worked less, got less money to spend on stupid plastic shit, drove less in our cars, threw away less perfectly edible food, and spent more time with the people we care about, both we the people and the planet would be better off.

But for our debt-fueled micro- and macro-economies, it would spell utter disaster. Financial crisis writ large. Housing market would go to shit. Banks would default. The state would get less taxes, so deficit would skyrocket. Meanwhile national debt, which is measured relative to GDP, would blow up much quicker than the deficit since GDP would drop sharply.

So nobody will ever actually make it happen.
Yup, you're right. It does add something for sure. I guess the further away a show/movie strays from common tropes the more important is the value of not knowing what will happen.
I respectfully disagree, that DS9 was a step up from TNG. It all got nailed in the Gene's quote about what you will and will not see in 24th century.

Star Trek for me is a sneak peak into a different future (maybe not 300 years, but 1000s). And DS9 is, basically, today, wrapped into a Sci-Fi suit.

Name one episode of DS9, where you'd see a problem and its solution, and be able to say "rare living human would do this". For TNG: the entire Borg thing, and that episode with Data trying to prove a tool became sentient - is something you can't find in Trump's twitter.

That is basically the same reason for the rants about Discovery: they can't make it past TNG's timeline.
You think all the russian bots are on the official API? Nope.
Idk, there's a few with pretty strong laxative effects.
Aw thanks for pointing that out, my mistake
Definitely announced at I/O, but all the language I'm finding from around that time is of the "want to" and "will" variety, like this Wired piece:

If a drug test result is positive you can certainly be fired for what may have been "off duty conduct" - ask any commercial pilot.
you wouldn't allow drugs in traffic and you wouldn't want them in public. Alcohol use shows that not always is drug use constrained to private settings, so there is the argument against it, because what starts in private might under the influence end up in an inappropriate place.

Magic Truffles is just a different name to circumvent the law. It's stupid, that this way the law can be circumvented, but it seems to be possible nevertheless.
The book Mastering OpenCV helped me a bunch several years ago during implementation. The best advice I can give along with this book is to try and understand the fundamental geometric problem that computer vision tries to solve. It's been the same for like 30-50 years...we've just thrown some ML at it for these past 10-20. For that, I recommend a copy of Trucco and Veri's book that you can probably find floating around online (link below). Good luck!

Scraping is always against the ToS, so no surprise there. I doubt it's really ever stopped anyone.

Exactly. Education empowers girls to select better husbands, start their own businesses, and then push for better education for their own, fewer children.

This is also a fundamental problem of eternity. If one is eternal, he/she can create or destroy at will. But our current social model is based upon the creation of successors. In fact, the evolution of the universe seems to be based upon successors, upon the "future". In eternal life, time looks different.

Nonetheless, physical bodies of any kind cannot seem to exist as they are for eternity. Even diamonds decay. Abstractions change as well-- ideas thought to be immortalized actually do change, actually do die. And they can be immortalized in time, in the past-- but towards the future, there has never been a concrete conception of such immortality, only in the frozen sense.

So I just read through your [2].

The first part seemed good and reasonable, though towards the end (from day 10 onwards) I felt like the guy was kind of just trying to come up with stuff to excite the reader, and which in my mind cluttered the simplicity of the rest, i.e. the 3 things a week, 3 things a day, hotspots, monday vision and friday reflection (+ dump your brain, but everyone says that).

Would you mind giving a more concrete telling of how you have implemented this system in your life and which parts of this 30 days-thing you find to be indispensable and which are just fluff?
Humans used psychoactive substances for centuries, usually under the supervision of a shaman or some type of religious figure to undergo a journey

Likely even longer; if you're curious about some of the anthropology and botany behind mind-altering substances, Wade Davis's One River is excellent: https://www.amazon.com/One-River-Wade-Davis/dp/0684834960?ie.... It focuses on the first half of the 20th C in particular.

As far as I know, it's impossible to know for sure when humans began using mind-altering substances like psychoactive mushroom, peyote, or ayahuasca, but it's likely been a very long time.

How Much Cardio to Burn Fat?
This is my case as well (i.e., not a stutterer, but introvert prone to social anxiety). When I was a toddler, my family took a vacation to Mexico, and on the way back into the US, a very stern border patrol officer (who I realize now was just doing his job), started barking questions at me one after another. I immediately froze, and refused to speak. He pulled us over to the side, and it became a tense situation with my parents freaking out, and everyone pressuring me to speak. Fortunately, my sister is a chatterbox and resembles me enough that he let us go (plus, I had my passport), but the experience left a strong impact on me. After that, I felt like I relived the moment in school, every time the teacher called on me to answer.

Later on, I became a bookworm in part because through reading I found that I could pick out words and phrases to reuse in normal conversation.
Actually a great idea, and this sort of "augmented viewing" will almost certainly happen sooner rather than later.

It was my understanding from Kurzweil's books that he never meant for his predictions to be taken literally, rather the suggestions he was predicting would be possible based on his Law of Accelerating Returns. (http://www.kurzweilai.net/the-law-of-accelerating-returns)

With that said unless I am misunderstood a significant % of his predictions have come true within a ~15-year window which from my humble perspective seems like a really strong track record.

While I can understanding the frustration people feel with predictions not being accurate does that lessen the impact of his contributions? As the author mentions cultural factors (as well as political and economic) may prevent the full potential of these changes from being realized. So yes, maybe "X" doesn't exist now, but perhaps 'X" could exist (in terms of the capabilities for it to do so) if we as a collective were focused on bringing it to existence.
Disaster is both a good time to have cash, and a bad time. Cash could be destroyed or lost. And most of us don't have "cash" we have bank accounts and ATMs. By the time we realize the disaster struck and the infrastructure is gone, the ATMs are already empty.

It might actually be faster to get cell phone networks back up than it is to get the infrastructure behind ATM's back (roads, people distributing money and so on). So until then, only the preppers with enough cash for a long period of time have cash. That said, if I lived in an area where there was any risk at all of flood, earthquake or tropical weather, I'd have a large wad of cash somewhere.

Scrapbook, that takes me back. Haven't used it in a dog's age. But I would be enormously surprised if it did no longer store saved content under your Firefox profile directory, and back when I used it, it just saved the files there and maybe did some link rewriting. Not really a lot of importing necessary to view the content outside the extension - you'd just need to point a browser at its file:// URL.

Not sure how much that helps in terms of retaining the actual functionality, which unless I'm badly mistaken would only be feasible in the WebExtensions API via the external application messaging interface - and you'd need a separate program that would receive those messages and do the mirroring for you, and maybe expose a local HTTP server or some other such horrible hack to let you fetch the content tree for rendering in the browser as a table of contents/tree of bookmark-style links. But at least you might not have to lose what you've got.
There are a couple reasons why he might do this that I can think of.

1). He didn't know how many people were going to come in or how serious they would be. Triage in MCI does depend to a certain degree on what your facility is capable of and the expected volume and status of patients. If he underestimated the volume or criticality of the patients about to come in he might have put more into the red pod than he would have otherwise. Underestimating seems plausible in this case because this was the worst mass shooting in history in the US.

2). Medicolegally he might have a fear that he would be judged harshly if he didn't automatically try to save everyone.
What kind of placeholders were they?

Also I have suspicions about what you are measuring being 100% correlated with "better user experience." Lack of user drop off CAN indicate a better user experience, but the concept of "click bait" illustrates that you can gain short term increases in attention in ways that both decrease user experience and can contribute to driving away users in the long term. I'm not saying this sort of thing is the same as click bait, but still. I'm sure that in theory, you could put lots of things in those placeholder spots that will increase the number of people that wait for the page to load, but may drive away users in the long term. (e.g. blurry nudes)
Having Reader View available out of the box is huge for me. This is one of the reasons I prefer Safari when I'm on MacOS. But I use Ubuntu most of the time, so I'm switching back to Firefox as my default browser. So far, it's been great.
That would be impossible to get through. Currently we’re trying to get downtime to below 5 minutes per year for the average German (it’s at 17 minutes per year currently). That’s 4 nines of reliability, with a move to 5 nines. For every citizen. Many people will not even see any interruption for many years.

This means that Google will be more often down for you than your power.

Going from that standard to the constant failures you suggest would be impossible.

I think it's a pretty giant hurdle, and I don't think it's a strictly generational thing. Having been on both sides of the computational/experimental divide, I still fundamentally can't trust a result that has no experimental validation. At some point, even if you believe the computation's result, it has to be proved out in the physical world to be useful.

The deal before the Yahoo one made Google the default everywhere (even China and Russia and other places where Google wasn't the best search engine).
