Yes, endurance and retention decreases exponentially with increasing bits per cell and is correlated with the capacity process size too --- higher density NAND made on a smaller process obviously has less area to store a charge in the first place, and the smaller gate oxide means less endurance. In the "good old days" SLC was typically 100K cycles and MLC 10K, now even good SLC is around 10K with MLC at 5K, and the newest TLC is ~1K or less. Manufacturers are, not surprisingly, increasingly secretive about the decreasing reliability of their products. It's only with complex error correction that such chips can even be used at all.

Right. I just think there's a lot of saw tales and, after some exploration, I'm not convinced.

Another odd one is over tune new strings to get stretch, which often gets turned to don't put new strings on a guitar the same day as a show.

Well, call me a rebel, but I don't stretch my strings and I will go one stage 30 minutes after putting on new strings.

These are fine rules of thumb, I suppose, but as you are saying, a lot of nuance is involved.

The only thing I'll flat out disagree on is that old strings sound better... No just no.

With each year the amount of evidence of the ecosystem damage that global warming causes becomes harder and harder to ignore.

That’s not completely true. There are wordless melodies associated with Samavedic recitation all over India. For instance my Guruji knew a particular set and we are Gujarati Brahmanas. However in Kerala they have a specific Shakha of the Sama Veda (“branch” i.e. school of recitation) which is unique.

The idea that any of this is “pre-speech” sacrifices clarity to the point of utter misinformation.
As already pointed out, the whole FOSS movement and so GNU project is a political enterprise, technology is only the means to an end.

In fact, it could be argued that the core principal and objective of FOSS and GNU project is reinforcement of liberty by protection and promotion of freedom of choice in the digital age.
The "not as bad as" fallacy, also known as the fallacy of relative privation, asserts that:

If something is worse than the problem currently being discussed, then
The problem currently being discussed isn't that important at all.
In order for the statement "A is not as bad as B," to suggest a fallacy there must be a fallacious conclusion such as: ignore A.[0]

The answer isn't quite "don't bother" but it's definitely not "install these tools and get started".

Most of the things you can easily set up to watch for security events are looking for problems you simply shouldn't have.

For instance: you can set up fail2ban, sure. But what's it doing for you? If you have password SSH authentication enabled anywhere, you're already playing to lose, and logging and reactive blocking isn't really going to help you. Don't scan your logs for this problem; scan your configurations and make sure the brute-force attack simply can't work.

The same goes for most of the stuff shrink-wrap tools look for in web logs. OSSEC isn't bad, but the things you're going to light up on with OSSEC out of the box all mean something went so wrong that you got owned up.

Same with URL regexes. You can set up log detection for people hitting your admin interfaces. But then you have to ask: why is your admin interface available on routable IPs to begin with?

What you want is an effectively endless sink for developer logs (Splunk is fine but expensive, ELK is fine but complicated to manage), and you want to add structured instrumenting logs to your applications in all the security-sensitive places, like authorization checks (which should rarely fail), and especially a very solid, very long-term audit trail of admin-like actions, so you have some prayer of tracking insider misuse. You could instrument your SQL queries and catch any query failures --- which should also be rare. That kind of stuff. I don't think there's a good shrink-wrap package that does that.

But really: focus on removing attack surface, rather than continuously monitoring it.
Wow, more parents should be like that! I'm not a parent, but I try to do the same kind of thing for friends and coworkers in hopes of spreading the idea that others' interests are worth attention and respect even if you don't share them.
That's because Kubernetes isn't an infrastructure system, it's an application system. More PaaS than IaaS, so you're supposed to define what your app needs and let it do the work.

You don't specify a node but the CPU/RAM your application requires and let K8S scale up the cluster if necessary. Likewise, you specifiy the storage needed instead of managing disks, and set network policies to control load balancing and routing. If you want to live in Kubernetes only today, you can absolutely do that. Launch your cluster once and then use kubectl and yaml for the rest.

Not that I'd recommend doing it in an area not used to it... but that sounds like a riskier alternative to a hook turn. With hook turns, If you want to turn right, you start in the leftmost lane. When your light goes green, you 'hook' around to put yourself in front of the cars to your [initial] left. From there, the road you want to enter is straight ahead.

This way, no-one cuts across lanes where traffic has a green light.
previously worked at a major shared webhost a few years back (which used Apache)

we used mod_security with common rulesets + a custom list which was reviewed/updated based on what hacks were coming in (with hacks both passively monitored by customer base/compromised spam reports and via active scans for malware deposited by attackers which were then cross-correlated/traced back to application logs to find the entry point/compromise.

support staff was ~600 (including front end call center and billing people), with probably 250 of those doing L2+ support and ~50 doing the security work which fed into the ruleset, for a server farm of ~2-4000ish (and exponentially more sites/accounts since it was shared webhosting). In some ways our network could have been viewed as a giant honeypot because of all of the outdated webapps that were being run by the customers, plus their compromised PC's saving passwords, etc.

This exactly. To achieve the same things that our previous generation achieved (quality of life, financial stability, and betterment of our future generations) takes a lot more resources (time and money), to the point that min/maxing is necessary.

My cousin lives in Texas, where I had a glimpse of what it was like back in the day. Her 2000 sqft house cost 200k, and she paid it off on a 50k salary. She lives very well, and has no financial worries; life is a bit boring for her.

If I were to buy the equivalent house in my current city, it would cost 20x as much. And it's not just housing that's skyrocketed, it's every aspect of modern day living.

It's truly a multi-decade goal, and min maxing is important to being able to achieve it.
I don't see how anybody could argue for or against education, at least when you zoom out far enough that you're also considering "education" in oppressive countries. Education isn't a commodity like baked beans or pipe, and you can't just order up more or less.

Funnily enough, all diodes actually are light emitting, and light receiving, to some extent. It's why diodes are generally in opaque encapsulation. Whether a PN junction is an LED, PV cell or rectifier/switch is a matter of what the design optimises for. Try putting a voltmeter across a glass encased signal diode and shining a strong light on it to see it act as a PV cell. One wouldn't normally use a diode as a PV cell, but if the desired power was very small, a glass encased diode might be used as a cheap PV cell.
It seems like a really silly hill to die on, but then this whole debate seems like a boring pissing match. My only thought on finishing the article was, “what a waste of my time this was,” and that was just reading it, not living it. Maybe there’s some strategic value to making a big deal of something trivial like this, but I don’t see it. I just come away from this thinking Stallman is a controlling, thin-skinned, dick. If that was his plan, then as they say, mission accomplished. I couldn’t care less about the politics, it’s the personality that’s offensive.
Exactly! That is literally the best reason to remove it and nobody is talking about how lame this joke is. It's not even like a European wrote it and so an awkward translation makes it land weird. It's just stupid.
I think you're ignoring that witch hunting that has been going on in recent years. As a hypothetical, let's say that you believe all homosexuals will go to hell. Of course in a project or a workplace their will never be a need to bring this up and being respectful of others you never bring it up in those environments. But what about other environments? Should you be able to express your belief on your personal twitter? At your church?

The answer lately is that you aren't free to express that opinion anywhere, by doing so you could lose your job or be kicked out of a project. Being respectful to others will not save you, you have to keep your opinion completely to yourself.
These effects show up as a slowdown in the memory’s erase time.

This effect, along with a decrease in write time, was noticed a long time ago:

https://www.usenix.org/event/fast10/tech/full_papers/boboila...

One of the little-known fascinating facts about standard NAND flash is that it contains its own tiny microcontroller and internal oscillator, usually a custom 4-bit architecture, to manage the command interface and do the program/erase algorithms. If you're interested in this stuff, the book Inside NAND Flash Memories is highly recommended, and may be the only publicly accessible documentation of the instruction set of one such microcontroller along with some interesting snippets of the actual source code of the NAND flash firmware.
Apparently they also designed heavily for survivability, more so than the American subs.

So sounds more like calculated risks.
There's really no way to eyeball logs in any sort of complex environment. What you're looking for is a system that will automatically analyze logs and/or traffic for malicious events and alert on them. What you're looking for are Introsion Detection Systems (IDS) and Security Information and Event Management (SIEM). For IDS there are a whole bunch of open source solutions. Essentially these systems ingest logs into a centralized location and run them through a rules engine, which gets updated with new rules on a weekly or daily basis.
How is moo related to political correctness? Doesn't it just ask if you've mooed today? That's an innocent joke that you never need to stumble upon.

GoDaddy has no obligation to protect free speech, only the (US) government does (supposedly). I see no problem with a private company selecting who can/cannot use their service. If the US government had ordered GoDaddy to remove the site, then that would be another thing entirely...
I didn't say the technical documentation has to be completely dry and devoid of any humor. But when you're putting humor into technical documentation, you need to avoid any kind of divisive or political topic. The worst response to the humor you put in there should a groan.

No, the manual is a dry retelling of software capabilities without tutorial content, so its readers might reasonably be expected to be familiar with the idea of a section or two requiring some external context to interpret.

All you're telling me is that you'd prefer to be googling for strftime() examples on StackOverflow than reading an explainer on US abortion rights policy. Which is fine. But it's not like it would hurt you to learn a little extra stuff along the way, and RMS thinks it would be good for you. And he wrote the manual.
It's illegal to enter an intersection if you're unable to immediately leave it. So, if you don't have a clear left turn, you're supposed to sit behind the white line.

Likewise, it's illegal to enter an intersection, going straight, when there isn't enough space in your lane, for the back of your car to clear the intersection. Doesn't stop people, though.
>potential resident

Gentrification and displacement are distinct from the exclusion of potential residents. To get someone's home transferred to you, you generally have to outspend them, so the gentrifier is essentially always richer than than the displaced person (though there could be corner cases with similar means but different willingness to spend on housing, etc).

When housing gets more expensive it has a cascading effect. Need a plumber? That just got more expensive because that guy either has more expensive housing costs or commutes from farther away. Want a coffee? That coffee shop's rent has gone up and so are their prices.

total({credit, N}, Total) -> Total + N.
He seems to support his 60% figure with a lot of evidence [0][1] and you have agreed in the past that if anything 60% is the number your model converges to as well...

It was a time-gated, 2 year ban. It wasn't lifted 'just because.'

During the period that they were banned, they formed a shell party, the National Socialist Freedom Movement, which won a stunning 6%, followed by 3% of the vote (In the two 1924 elections). After the ban was lifted, the next election was in 1928, where they won 2.8% of the vote. Much good that ban did them, eh?

I'm not sure how your point follows from the facts.

Amazon has built a giant business on top of open source technologies. Don't you think it is natural for the open source community to expect that Amazon give something back to them out of courtesy?

The GP asked for a good thing that came out of Walmart Labs hinting at the idea that good things come out from Amazon but not Walmart Labs. Then a few commenters pointed out a few links showing the good things that came out of Walmart Labs. All of these good things happen to be open source. So it is quite natural to ask what good things Amazon bothered to open source after having built a billion dollar business on top of open source.

I however dislike how it is organized as it organizes by first letter of a title (that seemingly has no pattern for first words making finding a particular entry harder) and doesn't have different categories or tags to categorize the different types of tasks. Organizing by type of task would have been a nice feature for browsing the code I much rather enjoy the layout of the linked github as it's much easier to study a particular topic.

What was presold in Ethereum's "software crowdsale" was $ETH, not gas. Since it was used to fund the development of Ethereum, it was (and maybe still is) a security.

$ETH is a stake in a network with an artificially limited supply of units, which grants you a write access rights to Ethereum's mainnet.

Gas is a non-tradeable Unit-of-Account, which uses $ETH as the only approved/possible method of payment. The relationship between $ETH and gas is similar to the one between petrodollars and oil.

Assuming $ETH transforming from security into something else, it can not become commodity, since gas is already a non-tradeable underlying commodity with spot prices determined on Ethereum mainnet.

It can only transform into an exotic commodity derivative of gas.
Or it may stay a security (which is even more likely with transition to PoS).

Also, don't forget about secondary sales by Stiftung Ethereum. Those who bought in ICO have no reason to sue, but those who bought in secondaries and lost - do.
Classic RMS. Love that guy.
I've built a few weekend-level projects with these.

One I've loved the most is ambient lighting. I ringed the ceiling of one of my rooms with these and I can fade them in and out to a warm or cool white. It is great for hanging out with friends since there's this warm glow coming from all directions. Also great for reading. My next step is to create areas that I can light up sections above chairs and sofas.

It's also fun and easy to attach these to bikes. You can then just ziptie your arduino under the seat or somewhere like that and then light up your frame.

If you have a GPS module, you can build a compass or something that always points to the same spot.

You could also give your sofa and chairs underglow.

I like the idea, and if these pruned false positives are rare enough I think it would be a great safety measure - you could even have the driver verbally label things, which might have both training (in the AI sense) and awareness (for the humans) benefits (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pointing_and_calling).

Note that "rare enough" needn't be all that rare, just that if it is multiple every second or something it clearly wouldn't be practical.
