Err, you must be looking in the wrong aisle/store. You can certainly buy new, good IPS/MVA panels (as a finsihed, desktop-ready unit) with more classic dpi. E.g. the classic format 19" 1280*1024: iiyama PROLITE P1905S-B2 available for 150~200$ new. To be fair, this is probably one of the, if not the lowest DPI/resolution desktop screen they offer, but still. it's at about 86 DPI, they also sell a 32" 1080p screen running at 68 DPI. I do like it a bit higher between about 100~110 DPI, and above 120 DPI requires high DPI technology. So, yes, please consider reasonable hardware. Don't buy HighDPI if you don't want to handle HighDPI with legacy software.
Taught myself to juggle grocery store bags while working at a grocery store.

It's a little like spinning plates. You hang a bag in the air, leave it for a bit, and grab it before it hits the ground. Now interleave 3 of these:

Start:

- Hang bag A with right hand.

- Hang bag B with left hand.

- Hang bag C with right hand and grab bag A with left hand.

Process:

- Hang bag A with left hand and grab bag B with right hand.

- Hang bag B with right hand and grab bag C with left hand.

- Hang bag C with left hand and grab bag A with right hand.

- Hang bag A with right hand and grab bag B with left hand.

- Hang bag B with left hand and grab bag C with right hand.

- Hang bag C with right hand and grab bag A with left hand.

End:

- Grab bag B with right hand.

- Grab bag C with left hand, while still holding bag A.

OR

- Allow all bags to fall on floor, then collect them.
H is for Hawk:

I gave up reading this book about halfway through. It drags out a lot with needless fluff; she spent about 3 pages just naming the bird! She seemed to really hate T.H. White's 'The Goshawk' so I decided to give it a read. I much preferred it (he names his bird in one sentence) and felt she'd read between the lines much more than there was in the book.

The three body problem:

This is a brilliant book until the end, which basically solves all of the interesting problems it's been building up to throughout the book with 'magic supercomputers that can do anything!', which is a shame because it had me hooked.
Sure, I get why the decision was made.

But, I don't buy the hardware failure argument, because the same is true of running a vsphere installation in the first place.

vsphere migrates VMs to other machines when the hardware fails, but, analogously, the kube scheduler moves pods to other machines when they fail as well. You have to worry about disk failures in both cases. You have to worry about keeping your vsphere's database up and in a high-availability mode (postgres in my experience), just as you have to worry about keeping k8s's etcd cluster up and in a high-availability mode.

For any problem k8s has on bare metal due to hardware unreliability, vsphere has an analogous problem, it's just pushed down one layer.

IMO the real reason why this is a pragmatic decision is because, people already have lots of experience in running vsphere and understand where the risks and challenges are, and vsphere has lots of tools for things like automating the installation of the hypervisor OS, base level network setup, expectations around NFS for VM storage, etc.

Vsphere represents a decent, known set of tools for getting an infrastructure up and running on bare metal, which is a prerequisite for getting kubernetes running, but what would be exciting to me would be a rethinking of those infrastructure components in a purely open source and industry standard fashion, in a no-frills way that only exists to get a basic k8s control plane up.
Jordan Peterson is espousing the same tired homophobic, xenophobic arguments dressed up in modern clothes. He’s a hack who appeals to people because he tells them the things they’re already feeling without actually advancing the conversation. His arguments are only appealing if you’re already in a position of privilege. Basically, he’s an advocate for the status quo.

I think it's the classical meaning to distinguish it from Datascript, which is in-memory. This is sqlite as a storage back end I think.

I wonder if it also supports the recursive parts of datalog.
What if science and facts support a terrible conclusion?

Do we ignore the science to feel better?

I'm not saying that any arguments put forth do, but what does a society that prides itself on logic and rationality do in such a case?

Sure, all things being equal, it's better to have the references than not.

That said, as a practical matter, if the author cites 100 papers, and each paper takes half an hour to judge the reliability of it (assuming you have good command of statistics and scientific methodology, and some domain knowledge, and access the the required journals), we're talking on the order of 50 hours to validate the argument (of course this is a crazy rough estimate)—who is going to do that? You may as well just take the list of papers, try and validate them, and skip reading the book (and this is largely ignoring the fact that most likely your ability to validate is probably not that great in the first place).

Instead, for ~99.9% of readers, the argument presented will end up working solely as an authority argument.

Not sure what the solution is aside from waiting longer, then coming with maybe a handful of extremely reliable authoritative results that the reader can reasonably verify on their own. I'm not sure. I just know reading a book grounded in 'hard facts' because a study is cited on every page is not at all appealing to me.
Tangential but interesting: There's a great Borges short story called Funes the Memorious, which imagines a man who could never forget anything. To remember the events of a day, he must spend an entire second day, going through it second by second.

We definitely want to support knative, integrated well with existing concepts (like triggering deployments and builds when images change), to stitch in the new build resource so it works well with existing tools like s2i (as Jacques mentioned), and generally make sure these are good building blocks for applications. There’s a lot of good ideas in knative that will benefit anyone who uses Kubernetes.

Mind the cache (optimizing write speed on Intel CPUs)
I think his question really is where can I make money from sccrapping in 2018.
The northeast regional trains are routinely 30-50 minutes late, and Amtrak owns those tracks and has priority on them.
My point was that "should we make as much money as we possibly can" is simplifying the question beyond the point of usefulness. Yes, facebook wants to make as much money as they possibly can. But it's not obvious that selling political ads to russians is the best money-making scheme.

You can't simplify the issue down to there being one action that is more profitable and one that is less so. the world is more complicated than that. Forgoing some profit in the short term in order to gain some trust from the userbase may be more profitable in the long run. Or maybe it won't be. It's a decision that facebook's leadership has to make, and it's not as simple as "we'll take the option that makes more money".

Burning down my house would net me a nice payout from the insurance company, but it's probably not a good financial decision in the longer term. when looking at corporate motivations, it's easy to say they're going to pick the most evil choice if it's the profitable one, but business leaders aren't all stupid, and picking the evil choice is often stupid.
Except macbooks almost never see 50, and rarely 70 degrees, its 80-100 all day when actually using cpu.
You can't just remove this - it's a legitimate use case.

For example if you go to another country with your mobile phone, your call will be international, but the caller id would not match the source.
Show me a MacBook as robust as a T or W series Thinkpad. They play in the same price/performance class, except that the former has a fancy touchpad and the latter a trackpoint. And it is unlikely to break, and the non-touch versions come with a matte screen that actually works as long as you don't have the sun in your back. And even then, cleaning the screen from dust and increasing the contrast/gamma does wonders.
No depositor lost any money in this case. The bank had trouble getting its insurance to pay up. If this was bitcoin, the money would be gone, because bitcoin does not have the same restrictive regulation scheme as united states dollars held in a united states bank.
Do they have mac images for building with XCode?
Err, what do I want to hibernate? S3 is pretty energy efficient and you'd likely want security patches anyway before the battery runs out on LPDDR3/LPDDR4 ram.
There's a lot of that, actually. It was trendy for a while for unis to try to monetize their research, and a lot of people became unhappy in various ways - researchers pissed off about the giveaways and being told whom they could talk to, donors who got patent rights for things that were really only useful for trolling, and university admins who were dreaming of riches and didn't get much aside from various people yelling at them.
Well, Network Solutions seems(?) to offer 100-year domain registration for $1k ($999).

Thinking about it, a holistic solution to this kind of problem would [categorically need to] be extremely expensive in order to ratelimit demand. Because it's not just "host this for me for a while" with an implicit sort of "maybe let it fall over one day and see if I yell at you" - that 2nd bit is completely removed, and the expectation is 100.0% (amortized, aggregate) uptime... indefinitely.

It's interesting how not even graves last forever. They decay over time (hundreds of years). Not all are maintained.

What sort of "forever" are you talking about? "Most Important Thing™ when the paperclip maximisers take over"?
There's also the fundamental theory of this which ultimately rests on thermodynamics, e.g. [1] [2].

Basically, any finite organism only has a finite number of configurations available to it; but to 'remember' something is to a set up a long-term correlation between the past and the present, which uses up some of the 'available degrees of freedom' to e.g. respond to shorter-term changes in the environment.

If you never forget anything, then eventually you 'run out of bits', whereas a system that allows some forgetting has greater flexibility in e.g. forgetting the distant past in order to remember to tie your shoes right now.

There are some neuroscientists that are starting to bring thermodynamic views into looking at actual biological systems as well [3]

It’s only the first stage that’s recovered, but they’ll at least have first stage rockets in plenty, and that’s no small feat.

(I’m not disagreeing with you, just a clarification)
> As far as the sloppy comparison of NOI and WAR its important to point out that while NOI sucks (really, really) it is not now, has never been and never will be anywhere near power.

By the time a group is anywhere near power, deplatforming is a protest move rather than something which has much direct effect. So that's not really a reason NOI should be less subject to deplatforming than groups of similarly repugnant ideology that are, if not in power, at least aligned with it.

The word "fragile" already has antonyms, why did you choose "antifragile" here?
Thanks for that - we definitely think there are many great ideas floating around in the Kube ecosystem, and projects like knative bring together a critical mass of perspectives and people to take “good ideas” and make them “things we all can depend on”.

knative is a mashup of good ideas and patterns from app engine, openshift, cloud foundry, FaaS, and public cloud providers. I think it will fill the missing space between containerized apps and true FaaS on top of Kube, while still making it easy to break the abstraction glass as necessary.
You read Dark Forrest or Deaths End (other books in the 3BP trilogy)?
C/M should do it for general workloads in production, R/I on RDS. If you are doing something specific, you may have to look closely at the resource bottlenecks on those instances. t2.micro should be fine for development.
> If the hacks don't fall under that coverage, what would?

The things actually specified in the contract, taking account the exclusions?
That's a good point.

I know Penn is a major bottleneck (we have Christie to thank for that after killing ARC), and there's the added problem of delays conflicting with Metro North/NJT schedules.

We need infrastructure investment in dense corridors if we're to get anywhere remotely near European or Asian standards.
Yes there are. The two parties need to agree on a common source. It can be a file somewhere on the web (an image) or a something that doesn't exist yet.

That's what happens with passwords.
I think monorepos make a lot of sense when you're talking about millions of lines of code. I'm not at all sure they make sense when you're talking about billions.
To add to that, the authors acknowledge a similar weakness of the study: "We note that while the ban may have worked for Reddit, from a macro-perspective, it may have also relocated the behavior onto other sites."

Since in this discussion we're concerned about macro effects, I'd be careful not to over-index on this study.
Well, a couple points:

1. It depends if you don't trust them in the long term or the short term. In the long-term, after you finish the migration, there's no need for Fastmail to still have access to your account, and Google does let you revoke/cycle app passwords, so I would just do that and that would cut off Fastmail's access, even if they did retain your password (which, based on what I know about them, I doubt they'd do, but I don't know them personally).

2. For the actual transferring, if you don't want to use Fastmail's tool, I'm a big fan of imapsync, and my second best choice would be offlineimap. I like the former for my needs, where I do a lot of one-shot migrations/backups/restores, but the latter does have the benefit in your case that it can be run as a daemon, and then it'll slowly steadily upload your mail in the background over the course of however many days it'll take.

3. It should not take 7 days to move 15GB. I've done it in under 48 hours. Part of the bottleneck might be that your local machine/network/etc. I would try to fire up a VM with a cloud provider, preferably one of the fast-network variants, and run imapsync from there.
Actually i only sweat with my thinkpad, but that might come from it having 1) slightly lower TDP (30W instead of the 50 I read above), and 2) a thermal design that does not result in any part being too hot to touch. Even in ambient temperatures that are no longer healthy for a resting human.

When I was a course grader at my university years back, I had to sign a form saying any IP I invented during that time was owned by the university. Yes for grading homework, I have to assign all IP right to them.
Startup time is the hardest (and most valuable) piece for everyone to work together on. By improving startup time of Kube containers, we can benefit (and draw from) a lot of people who are using Kube today, not just knative. This is a great example of trying to find an “everyone wins” scenario in open source and succeeding.

Below excerpt from A Study in Scarlet, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, 1887.

——

My surprise reached a climax, however, when I found incidentally that he was ignorant of the Copernican Theory and of the composition of the Solar System. That any civilized human being in this nineteenth century should not be aware that the earth travelled round the sun appeared to be to me such an extraordinary fact that I could hardly realize it.

“You appear to be astonished,” he said, smiling at my expression of surprise. “Now that I do know it I shall do my best to forget it.”

“To forget it!”

“You see,” he explained, “I consider that a man’s brain originally is like a little empty attic, and you have to stock it with such furniture as you choose. A fool takes in all the lumber of every sort that he comes across, so that the knowledge which might be useful to him gets crowded out, or at best is jumbled up with a lot of other things so that he has a difficulty in laying his hands upon it. Now the skilful workman is very careful indeed as to what he takes into his brain-attic. He will have nothing but the tools which may help him in doing his work, but of these he has a large assortment, and all in the most perfect order. It is a mistake to think that that little room has elastic walls and can distend to any extent. Depend upon it there comes a time when for every addition of knowledge you forget something that you knew before. It is of the highest importance, therefore, not to have useless facts elbowing out the useful ones.”

“But the Solar System!” I protested.

“What the deuce is it to me?” he interrupted impatiently; “you say that we go round the sun. If we went round the moon it would not make a pennyworth of difference to me or to my work.”
And, of course the trivial work around that is to have the ownership of the real-estate owning entity be yet another offshore series of organizations. That way the principal owners of the entity which has title property never change, but the beneficial shareholders of those entities can be transferred. Etc, etc...

I.E. For a property on 4th avenue, the entity which owns it is Starfish Inc. The shareholders of Starfish Inc, are Corp1, Corp2, and Corp3.

The property on 4th avenue is never sold, it is always owned by one owner - Starfish Inc.

Likewise, Starfish Inc is never sold, it is always owned by Corp1, Corp2, and Corp3.

Add as many levels of indirection and obfuscation in as many tax-free havens as it's worth to avoid having to pay additional property taxes.

Only the shares in Corp1, Corp2, and Corp3 are transferred/sold to new parties.
I don't think you have anything to apologise for.

No. You can have a single secret covering many messages.

You seem to have missed the word 'exclusively'. Obviously software is an (important) part of a solution but it will need a lot of hardware and hardware knowledge in order to be able to be solved well. Your typical high-growth hacker wantrepreneur wouldn't touch a project like that with a 10' pole.

The headline doesn’t really match the article.
I don't think the number of linea matters. I think the interconnection of your code matters. If you have 2 sets of services that are completely uncoupled the having two monorepos for those two deployments make sense. If you can guarantee atomic changes across all services that interconnect you have the benefits monorepos give you.
