One scenario would be if he's about to be removed from the Facebook board (politely or otherwise). So he's beginning to clear his remaining investment ties to the company. Given his increasingly outside position in Silicon Valley, he may be looking at liquidating his ties to the area in general.
Preventing trace event record loss with LTTng-UST's blocking mode
A bug kept it from indexing the app when you first installed it. Forcing a re-index of /Applications would have fixed it, likewise duplicating the app and deleting the original.

When you registered the app I assume it modified itself, triggering a re-index.
Literal mining is messy. It's hard to compare, but i'd guess Bitcoin is greener.
I’ve just done exactly this: replace an old xls file which was sent each month by email with a simple web based application. The app includes some nice dataviz.

But then the people keep asking “how can I export to excel”. One user was copying an html table split in 20 pages one by one to excel.

So I found a elegant and simple solution: an excel spreadsheet linked to the PostgreSQL db of the app via ODBC.
Now users can just click on Refresh All in excel and get the latest data. I’ve also added an “click here to open” link in excel which opens the form with the row’s id in the web app.

Now everyone is happy: the data is kept centralized and available to everyone in real time. And users can make all the pivot tables and pivot charts that they want natively in excel.

Do not underestimate the power of ODBC with excel!

(may not work for big data though, but most business app do not contain more than a few thousand rows)

Nor does someone calling for a firing on a blog actually threaten a livelihood.
That'd be great! I'll have to digup a dusty twitter account. I may be more of a lurker for now, but seeing how Lasp is shaping up would be pretty valuable.

A public slack would be nice. It seemed like LASP might be dead for a while when looking at some of the project pages a few months ago. Understandable when you're focused on solving hard problems, but an FYI from an outside perspective. This talk is really helpful in seeing what you've learned and where it's going. Thanks again!
Has anyone found a nice tiling window manager like this that works on macOS?
If you wish death upon all flat earthers, then you're no better than they are :)
No - as far as I understand, this only works though iCloud. Works well in my experience though.
You could argue that those things could just be emprical curve fits, done without any theory behind them. Not that they don't have theory behind them, just that you might be able to arrive at them without any. Thermodynamics in chemistry is a great example where you can find tables full of polynomials curve fit coefficients.

Actually, the fact that the universe yeilds to theory at all is kind of remarkable. Antimatter was "discovered" in the negative-energy solutions of the relativistic version of the Schrodinger equation long before it was found in nature. I can imagine that someone who hadn't seen all of those examples from physics for themselves could imagine that theory, in general, is epistemologically unsound - and demand that everything be directly empirical.

Aside, I think that everyone who is interested in science should spend at least a little time thinking about the philosophy that underlies it - and, you know, it can be very rewarding to reproduce early experiments just so you can see them for yourself.

Next time you're on a trip, try meauring the shadows at different times of day and calculating the radius of the Earth like Eratosthenes. We now have nearly perfect maps and globally synchronized clocks so you should have a much easier time of it than he did.
That's not what this tool is for. It's not even a service. It's just a tool.

This site demonstrates a fundamental understanding of what logos are for and how they are used in today's internet.

It's a generic logo maker. That should be an oxymoron, but it's not. It's LogoFox!

It's not, because of the abundance of generic web sites, generic blogs, generic businesses, and even generic brands, that just need a generic logo.

For what you claim to be true, the client must have a brand identity first. And those that do, know themselves. They will have input a professional could use for a logo that reflects that identity. They will look at a tool like LogoFox and say no.

Except, there are two traps here immediately in the path of your advice.

1. Who is this "professional". Agency, free lancer, artist friend, or local small business that also does logo design?

2. Most "professionals" serve their clients "gut" anyway. And many business brands are based on the tastes of the owners, which they have every right to impose on their customers and any professionals they hire to put into vector format, even to no benefit of their own...

Or maybe there is a benefit? After all, it is who they are. Maybe it does connect with like minded customers. Who would any "professional" be to judge?

And honestly, Many find the new ebay logo, Microsoft logo, and google logo boring, generic, and uninspired. Professionals did these logos. It's safe to say the higher-ups signed off on these designs.

At the end of the day, it's what the client wants, and it's for the client to sign off on.

If client chooses LogoFox, then good for them.

Whatever makes the client happy (TM).

That's the nature of the logo market.
I'm curious what features you found/find most helpful.
We're perfectly fine with people being exploited and dying while searching for hard transparent shiny rocks, which we can also create synthetically. But then they aren't valuable, except for practical uses.
Wolfram Alpha did ok for me on my first try: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=15+TWh%2Fyr+in+GW
Previously: https://justink.svbtle.com/open-letter-to-mayor-ed-lee-and-g...

Justin Svbtle caught a lot of flak for the insensitive tone of his open letter back when he wrote it, but he was rightfully pissed off at the time, and it seems the problem has only gotten worse.

How is it possible that there aren't enough resources to take care of everyone in a city that generates so much wealth?
How do you suggest we move forward? We tried slack, but being invitation only prohibited us for making a big impact.

What's the right way to build an open community? What do you recommend?
The title is a little disingenuous. LED lighting has performed as advertised and expected. The fact that city planners have decided to deploy more lighting because it's now cheaper rather than pocket the savings is not a problem with LED technology. It's more a consequence of good old supply and demand.
I've been using emacs for about 27 years, and even wrote two novels ( e.g. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005JPPMS6 ) in it. Author friends tell me that I've really really REALLY got to try Scrivener, but I know from previous attempts at using other tools that nothing but emacs feels right to me.

I should give it a try, I suppose...but it's going to be really weird.
>there's no recourse in the case of fraud or errors.

I think this is the biggest problem with cryptocurrencies. Reversible and traceable transactions are a feature of real money, not a bug.
I would like to see more researches on ketosis diet. Seen by medicine as something that occurs when in starvation, I see it as the natural state of the human body. I eat once a day and I don't feel like I'm starving. And when I eat I don't feast.
oh my, I'm not alone! ;)

Anybody knows how to get that "calc" thing working as expected?
I will be glad to see the 64 bit version on Windows. The current version seems quite sluggish compared to say, Word 2016. I've used it for 80k sized manuscripts and it starts to chug mid way through.

Also some better support for things like Git would be nice. It works currently, but is a bit of a hassle. Integrated commit/push etc would be awesome (like VS Code's model)

Other than that, great tool. I like being able to keep all my planning in the same place as the draft, and being able to switch between a synopsis for the scene and my actual writing.
It just wouldn't seem right without a sprinkling of .yml files in the mix...
But a competing company can't just give a copy of the leaked source code to their developers and tell them to go to town. Even by employing clean room design, you can't get around all the patents that likely protect many of the features that Photoshop users consider crucial.
Swartz is dead. Nobody to rally behind now, no real leaders. Online communities are older and more mainstream and are getting ossified. Much more brutal competition in the web space now, can't afford to voluntarily bleed + content is no longer special if someone doesn't get their fix in 5 minutes now they go somewhere else; ethics and values cost money and lots of people in this field have neither now. Lots of people running around in tech that don't share our views ever since 'tech' went mainstream around 2012/2013. What would a black out accomplish? The people in power don't give a fuck as far as I can tell regardless of how much public outage can be generated. Maybe we will finally get mesh networking out of this.
> But what about commits that are not acked? For example, is it possible for the master to apply a commit which is then seen by another query (from another client), then crash before the commit is sent to the slave?

A commit doesn't become visible until it is synchronously replicated, regardless of whether its ack fails or succeeds. So in the case you're describing the commit is never acked and never observed.

> there's nothing preventing the old master from still accepting writes; so you need to tell all the clients to failover at the same time

In Citus Cloud we detach the ENI to make sure no more writes are going to the old primary, and the attach it to the new primary.

Without such infrastructure, an alternative is to have a shutdown timer for primaries that are on the losing side of a network partition. The system can recover after the timeout.

If you're using a single coordinator, then this only applies to the coordinator. The workers can just fail over by updating the coordinator metadata.

> how does one choose what slave to failover to when a failover is needed?

You can pick the one with the highest LSN among a quorum, since it's guaranteed to have all acknowledged writes.
No. I’m no init fanboy, I’d have just adopted Apple’s launchd and called it a day. No, criticisms of systemd are plenty and well argumented, and yet get systematically talked down. First that comes to mind is the cavalier reaction to leaving some firmware fs mounted rw because systemd used it during reboot; didn’t matter uncautios mishaps could brick a device, team just won’t-fix’d the report and called everyone else an idiot. Doesn’t work like that

This boils down mostly to a lot of sites running jQuery	at a version less than 3.0.0.

Which technically means "vulnerabilities", but depends on how it's used.
did we just go through a "modern" bubble ? I feel like most of post ww2 era was most the dream of a new perception of the world that could sustain its distortion field for a few decades:

- oil based energy now wrecking havoc

- "science" based nutrition

- free market

- communication technology

I'm listing the dark parts but there's something odd in the way we probably all swallowed the pill with such a big grin for so long and now pop, lies lies lies; also you're dying because of stupid practices fueled by greedy scammers.
Well no--proponents are making very falsifiable claims about what will happen without Net Neutrality. Freedom of speech on the net is at stake! Tiered Internet access! Slower speeds for small business web sites. Those will be easily verifiable.

For the rest, you're right. It's just like how we can't calculate the "huge chunk of human potential" we missed out on as a result of decreased competition and investment since the regulation was created in 2015. All we can do is guess. Who knows--maybe we would have had the Enterprise!

Do you have any other colorful ways of "crying wolf?"
What's crypto vs cryptography? Also, do you want... learn theory, learn practice, learn implementation...? Any specific focus?
Yeah, I wasn’t mean switching, but offering compute power perhaps?
My belief is that the hyperbole is far too little, far too late. This will be as bad as people say, and the only thing that looks like it might save us is the courts.
A problem with the fragmented internet is at the current stage it wont be able to match the speeds. So some sort of non-neutrality would have to be possible anyway, otherwise people watching netflix would render the network unusable for everyone.
Well the point I was trying to make was that cars are a danger to everyone else on the road, not just to their passengers, so you can't just say "don't get a self-driving car" in response to someone talking about the risks of self-driving cars, as you can't control whether any of the other cars on the road are self-driving cars.
It's an amazing tool. I've been using it for screenwriting and worldbuilding for years. It's just a really clever take on a writing tool. I'm sure your Emacs kit fits your needs, but I'd bet even trying Scrivener, you might get some ideas to enhance your Emacs flow.

You want CSP headers to mitigate XSS risks.
And it does. Copying any app bundle to an indexed disk, like your boot drive, will cause it to get indexed immediately.

There are the occasional bugs though, and there’s also aggressive caching.
How is bitcoin like a superintelligence?
I agree, I'm not saying it's useful in a sense other than academic/historic. I was only reacting to "NIH". I guess you might be arguing that Mir continues as a consequence of nostalgia from an original not-invented-here syndrome.

I won't argue with that :-P

That said, if the guy who posted this is not employed by Canonical (like I speculated), and has _never_ been employed by Canonical, I would like to further speculate that either (a) he's doing this in order to specifically gain favor with Canonical employees and increase his chances of employment there later, or (b) to increase his chances of employment at any of the "big Linux players", or (c) to increase his knowledge of the X/wayland ecosystem and C coding in general.

All of which sound like good investments on his part.

Anyway that's speculation upon speculation, obviously, but if I was a professor at a generic I.T. bachelor/masters, this is exactly what I'd tell my students to do in their spare time (and if they could weave it into related classwork, all the better obviously).
I fear that trying Scrivener might launch me into a five year quest to duplicate some of its features in elisp! :)
Then there would be deaths. The stats are skewed significantly towards vehicles of which there are more of so you'd always have to discount this figure by how many vehicles there were of that type to begin with and to be even more accurate how many passenger miles were driven with those vehicles.

Even with iOS11 support for file management? That's unfortunate. Some documents are not allowed to be hosted in cloud storage.
Great point. I've found that most codebases have some abstractions that work very well and others that work less well, and simply having awareness of this can help make the code far more readable.

For instance, one might say: "The way x is implemented works, but it's not quite the right abstraction, here's why". That is way more informative than saying it's simply the wrong abstraction or considering it good enough and ignoring its deficiencies.
Well, I didn’t say there was only one way a software project could fail! My point is simply that I believe anticipating and allowing for future requirements is a matter of costs and benefits. It’s about comparing the cost of making a wrong step and then having to backtrack with the cost of following a circuitous route to the final destination instead of a more direct one. Both are bad if we make the wrong choice, and we can’t see the future to make an informed decision about the right choice, but we can at least look at the expected cost either way and make an intelligent decision in any given case.

This is probably the case. Port Miami is on an tiny island and space is a premium. Ships also bunker. They might be "in port" for many days but they'll be anchored in designated areas. Port charges add up quickly.
Medical education in Europe is free. In the US, it costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, on top of 4+(1-9) additional years of training with grueling hours during the prime of your life. 80% of doctors are burned out. The emotional toll of watching innocent people die, telling their families, and doing your best with variable levels of success is indescribable. Doctors in the US are not overpaid - the pay is the only thing keeping them in the profession. The real money is going to hospital administration (non-profit hospitals with executives paid more than 6 million per year), malpractice insurance which can go up to 30% of a doctor's salary (a single malpractice case can cost $1M to defend, whether you are guilty or not), and most importantly, tests that have to be done, not out of necessity, but because there is a 0,1 chance of a rare condition that can get caught by it, and the doctor can be sued if they miss it.
Most of these are just examples of bad things happening with zero explanation of how bitcoin could help. The ones which are to do with bitcoin are dubious at best.
There was a fund raising website written 15 years ago that a team I was on was responsible for (I never actually worked on it).

There were fraudulent credit card donations for $1 which became really obvious when the zip code was garbage.

The “solution” was to disabled the credit card page until the month of the fund raising event when it was enabled again in hopes of the scammers would not try during that month.
How does this work with heap allocation? When you free memory and then allocate it again and get back the same address range, wouldn't the flag still apply to the new block?
I'm sad they still don't have any real support for plain text or Markdown editing.
Show me a regulator able to prevent bitcoin users who own their own keys from making transactions, or one able to reverse transactions once made and confirmed.
Aside from the pleasing newspeak nomenclature, I have yet to hear any arguments that convince me that the FCC should be regulating QoS.

Antitrust action, on the other hand, would be a totally appropriate way to crack down on ISPs that abuse their market power.

Your blog is excellent, but your BM1387 numbers are a hair off.

BM1387 has worse performance than 0.10J/GH @ the wall in practice. Bitmain has released 3 BM1387 based miners (S9, T9, R4). Only two are intended for industrial use and should seriously be considered (home mining is dead):

* The S9 is advertised as pulling 0.098 J/GH +10% at the wall on a 93% efficient PSU. [1]

* The T9 is advertised as pulling 0.126 J/GH + 7% at the wall on a 93% efficient PSU. [2]

However, measured performance in the field tends to be a better indicator. BlockOperations tested the T-9 and S-9 with wattmeters and discovered that the Batch 16 12TH S-9 burns 1329W at the wall and the 11.5TH T-9 burns 1352W, for an efficiency of 0.111 J/GH and 0.117 J/GH respectively at a fairly cool (60F) room temperature [3]. If the room is hotter (most mines are) the fans spin harder and the efficiency gets a tiny bit worse.

Only the earliest batches of S9s that had fixed frequencies achieved 0.10 J/GH, but they had serious issues with reliability and stability so bitmain switched to variable frequency, which helped the reliability and stability but hurt the efficiency.

Another thing you might want to factor in is that the actual hashrate of the bitcoin network is higher than the network difficulty indicates. Remember, roughly 2% of generated blocks are orphaned and never counted, so you should adjust your estimate upwards somewhat to account for that missing hashrate.

With bitcoin, we have electricity consumption per transaction AANNDDD lights in bldgs to provide services like loans, insurance, trading?

I don't have a lot of experience here, but I'd recommend watching the movie Lost in Translation. It taught me how it was ok to be uncertain about life, and gave me a lot of comfort.

Access does have a datasheet view, but it is _much_ less powerful than Excel e.g. copy/paste multiple cells, fill down, and it is SLOWER.
Right, fruit juice is definitely problematic since it completely removes the fibre. I only skimmed those articles but it seemed to be talking about juice, not e.g. smoothies where the fibre from the fruit is still present. If I make a smoothie from a packet of blueberries, I assume that gives more or less the same benefits as eating them.
The hospital doesn't directly receive money for work done. In many cases they get paid for a procedure done by a doctor, but don't get paid for the exact same procedure done by a resident, so it matters who does the work because that directly affects revenue.
Nice work! Any resources, other than the VueJS docs, you'd recommend? I've started learning Vue in the morning before I do my "real" job.

In the mid-90's, I thought I was helping by bringing Notes in to the company I worked at, and people seemed to agree. A ticket tracking database we set up seemed to help. Many years later, after I left, I saw a presentation where Notes was cast as the problem, with a website proposed as the solution.
A much bigger reason for me is that I don't know if/how I'm going to make any money out of it. The things I personally want are aesthetic or social capital, and for a variety of reasons (which I'd rather not articulate in public) acquiring money capital of any kind if tremendously difficult for me and so 95% of my ideas go unrealized for lack of resources. I'm also terrible at asking people for help, and especially at asking people to donate time or attention because I resent unsolicited demands on mine and don't want to impose them on others.
Exactly! How is Google OK with this ISP basically charging a subscription fee to use YouTube? They're essentially reselling Youtube services.
