Could you explain what do you mean by "NFS hardware offload"?

Google search points mostly to VMWare-specific "VAAI NAS framework", which doesn't seem to be useful in case of database over NFS.
When they are really small: yes. But most cars come with gear boxes and horse powers dimensioned so that you are almost always driving at low rpms at normal autobahn speeds (like 120/130). At least my new car with the 140HP engine rolls along at about 2500rpm at Autobahn speed.

Tamgu: Functional Properties of Objects
Well, if the target is to have the same binary from the same set of sources every time you do a build, then the configuration management plan is not working. A good configuration management plan is to ensure that things that can change are managed. It is not working, it needs to be revised.

In some of the plans I have seen, some deviations are tolerated but those deviations are spelled out in excruciating detail.

How have you dealt with this issue?
> "some day the engineering may trickle down"

Do we also have trickle-down engineering now? Is economics not enough for that?
I'm sorry, I guess I wasn't clear.

No one made any mention of why it should be "lack of emotion" rather than the definition from antiquity. It just kind of happened through a multi-generational game of telephone.
Gates access to whom? Trade-offs in favour of what?

Introducing a fixed price gates the poor the most (eg. a wealthy individual can afford to spend a couple hundred pounds on a yearly subscription without much thought), and often incentivises trade-offs in favour of individual transportation (i.e. cars), which is less desirable in terms of pollution and traffic.

I think we have to disagree there. Of course the details about what brings matter together, the opacity, etc, are important, just like anode/cathode design and casing are important in batteries. Gravity's decisively not where the energy is coming from. Without fusion, stars would be cold, slowly cooling lumps of matter (or black holes, if there were no initial stars).
This isn't strictly true.

As was pointed out to me elsewhere here today, Evinrude use a point-oiling system[1] that, combined with direct injection, results in air pollution no worse than a four-stroke, and it can achieve higher thermodynamic efficiency.[2]

The problem isnt the handful of hypercars but the hundreds of millions of 1.5-2 ton cars being used to ferry a single occupant from stop light to stop light. Its easy to point to these hypercars as being excessive but remember the reason we can drive a car that has the performance of a mid-80s sportscar that does 50mpg for not much money comes directly from tech trickling down from these machines.

>This. Why should I allow anyone to define what kinds of art should I find transcendent and, worse, which kinds of art are non-transcendent?

Because else you're in an endless loop, where you define what you like by what you like.

It is (or, perhaps, it has been) generally understood, that being schooled into things, learning about them, their history, aesthetic rivalries and ideas abotu them, and appreciating the cultured opinions of people who have studied them more, helps one appreciate finer things and cultivate their preferences.

The alternative, "because I like it", sounds like a regression to childhood.

Have you even bothered to check the figures?

You mention Oyster cards so I'll assume you're talking about London in which case the operator (TfL) clearly states that "Fares are the single largest source of our income (projected to be 47% in 2019/20)". [0]

This income more than covers the operational costs, with the difference being used to support new infrastructure projects and upgrades such as the Elizabeth Line (as well as concessions for students, the elderly, etc).

Clearly there is a very strong argument for charging.

Yes, but there is an interesting difference between the two w.r.t. status.

Status is generally derived from the signaling of certain values. Wealth is one such value, but in general we assign status to a combination of values. Aesthetic + Wealth = Art. Strength + endurance = Athletics. Leadership + Vision + Knowledge + Intelligence = Innovation.

For me, at least, these super expensive cars have lost all signaling value, except 'wealth'. Because of that, I would almost call it tasteless, senseless and idiotic.

> I get that entropic gravity doesn't use free parameters.

You are correct, my error in skim reading too fast.

> It could just be that the theory knows its limits.

Yes that's essentially what I meant by chaos, if you could know enough information you could predict where all your hammocks end up, but that requires vast and subtle knowledge about how you think and minutiae of your environment and how you interact with it that caused you to make arbitrary decisions... the interesting thing about chaos is that it _can_ be deterministic, in other-words, given initial conditions it can be computed - but even then in the context of such large systems that computation is infeasibly and irreducibly costly, in which case (i guess) you use free parameters in combination with what conceptually similar to statistical mechanics?
Is prosecuting people for homosexuality genetic, or something that could perhaps change pretty rapidly? Perhaps for a million years, there were gay genes and gay people and no problem with it, then for five thousand years people had a problem with it. If humans have a gay gene, almost certainly there's some less social animals have a gay gene.
I feel exactly the opposite. I started my career in a small company, and probably learned more during the first year than all my years at university combined.

Tamgu: Propriétés Fonctionnelles Des Objets
I evaluated several light markup languages a while back for use in technical contracts. Basically I was fed up dealing with MSFT Word’s formatting problems while iterating on complex content with internal and external lawyers.

Asciidoc definitely seemed like the best option. The biggest thing for me was the ability to do complex numbered headers.

Unfortunately the tooling wasn’t really good enough for my use case. I needed a clean way to move between Asciidoc and Word, and it wasn’t really possible. Pandoc claimed support for both Asciidoc and word, but it was only partial and couldn’t round-Trip the document. I considered developing & contributing the functionality, but I didn’t know the language the tool was written in and couldn’t justify investing more time in the experiment.

Maybe it’s time to review the tooling situation and take another crack at it...
The section titled "Log-polar Mapping in 3D" is, as you say, simply adapting the same map to 3D. The section "Log-spherical Mapping" is about the proper 3D equivalent.

However, while maps in 2D space can be neatly represented with complex numbers, there is no equivalent for 3D space, so things can't be as neat. But the geometric properties are there: using the log-spherical map, translation along one axis maps to uniform scaling (in all 3 axes).

An idea which is totally true...

>I don't know how true that was in the USA but certainly Europe has had more than a thousand years of intimate contacts with the arab world, which is not mysterious at all.

And yet, the knowledge of it, for the vast majority (even if they have Ph.Ds on unrelated topics) is superficial at best. You'd be lucky if they know Avicenna, Omar Khayyam (funnily, both Persian muslims) or the Moors...

(Well, in the US that's also true for all kinds of world cultures, with the exception of Japanese anime-related culture).
The focused mind: get your brain to concentrate on what matters
There are two separate transactions for payment cards. Authorization and Settlement. Only Authorization involves all this clever technology like encryption and PINs, only Settlement actually moves any money anywhere.

For some debit cards, the situation is that they only allow Authorization to occur online, and it will validate your balance before authorizing the transaction AND it will respond to Settlements which are unauthorised by always reversing them.

Most people don't want this, because it's annoying, but it can be an option for people who have (some) money but can't be trusted with debt, for example some problem gamblers. It would never be reasonable to give them a card they can spend more than they have on, because they will spend uncontrollably.

The distinction between Authorization and Settlement has a variety of weird consequences. For example:

If you lose a card and it has to be blocked by the issuer, transactions you Authorized with that card can still be Settled hours, days or even very occasionally weeks later despite the block.

Some merchants who determine their exposure to fraud is very low just don't bother with Authorization at all. They only do Settlement, and it Just Works™ because none of their customers were trying to defraud them or queries the bill. This is a really nice user experience, super low friction.

Modern Authorization has anti-replay features, because it's built out of technologies where that was essentially free. So you can't execute any Authorization more than once (but Light Blue Touchpaper has an example incident where bad RNG allowed bad guys to attack this). But Settlement still acts like reel-to-reel tape is exciting new technology so it has no anti-replay, and periodically a batch of Settlements will accidentally be executed twice, taking money from customers and giving it to merchants until enough related complaints happen for somebody to realise the mistake and fix it.

Be careful with the authorized keys file approach. If the commands allow the user to append content to it, the commands can be changed. Most of the time the file is writable by the user (unless you specify otherwise in the opensshd configuration)

Those who are aspirational in their appreciation of art do tend to gravitate towards the same shit. The first time you're exposed to a cliche it could very well be mind blowing, but after getting through a wide enough body of work you start recognize the common patterns and eventually get sick of the cliches and you appreciate the stuff out there that actually broke ground, and moved the needle a bit.

I've only heard the 'art is subjective' defense from people with uncultivated tastes. Myself, I don't know much about chemistry, and something I don't do is wander into conversations with chemists and expect my unfounded opinion to be anything other than a nuisance to them. When it comes to art, for some reason, people who haven't done their homework nonetheless expect their opinion to matter.

> Roads don't like torque. If high-torque becomes a trend, expect to pay more vehicle-tax.

This is a bit off-topic, but this isn't really accurate. (Not the fact that high torque causes more surface damage thing, that's probably defensible - though gross loading does much more damage to roads in most conditions). But the source of funding for road construction and maintenance.

Depending where you live, your vehicle tax doesn't do much of anything for the roads anyway. They're maintained and repaved using general funds, usually taken from property taxes and income taxes.

I am not disagreeing with electric cars at all, I think it is important.

But the carbon footprint created within the West is just a small amount of the carbon footprint that the West contributes to. We can't just reduce our own carbon footprint if it simply pushes that carbon footprint onto other, less developed countries.

I think it will be very unlikely that we will continue to live with the same luxuries that we enjoy today while still aggressively reducing climate change. It won't be a case of "we have electric transport, but I can still buy a new iPhone once a year". It will be a case of aggressively cutting back everywhere and and ultimately growth and our economy will suffer in the short-term for long-term sustainability.
No, because a dragster has a specific function. It is a perfect counter-example to the senseless: 'look how fast our super-car can go.' There are many more values involved in dragster racing: knowledge, innovation, joy, creativity, competition, determinism, meaning, enthusiasm and playfulness. And it is all related to a singular goal: getting over the finish line faster than the competition.

But with such a super car, idk, I'm just left with an empty feeling: why? What is the point?

>Who would have thought the descendants of the Puritans would be using words like yoga, karma, avatar or reading the Bhagavadgita?

Don't underestimate them! With enough marketing and dilution of concepts, and a few celebrity/rich people endorsements, they can consume shallow feel-good products made from any ancient culture (as long as they don't have to make any real commitments to said culture of course).
> To this range of answers, I'd add "because God created us (because of reasons outside the scope of this answer)"

Yes, but which god, and why does this explanation get any greater credence than Douglas Adams' writing "the Jatravartid people of Viltvodle VI believe that the entire Universe was in fact sneezed out of the nose of a being called the Great Green Arkleseizure. The Jatravartids, who live in perpetual fear of the time they call The Coming of The Great White Handkerchief, are small blue creatures with more than fifty arms each, who are therefore unique in being the only race in history to have invented the aerosol deodorant before the wheel."

The religions of the world disagree with each other on the "why", and none of them seem to be interested in demonstrating the veracity of their theory. This is why science generally ignores the "why". No-one has come up with a reasonable way to show, one way or another, which theory may be truer (or more aptly, falser) than any other, and therefore the question currently has no meaningful answer. If this changes, it will show that all, some, one, or none of the current religions are correct, but thousands of years of discussion haven't produced anything close to solving this problem, and this discussion has been going on since before Akhenaten.

Ask HN: What would be a better business model for browsers?
Mozilla published about $500M in royalties revenue "earned through Firefox web browser search partnerships and distribution deals around the world" [1] in 2016 against ~900M active clients [2]. Which means browsers as a business model currently approximately monetize at around $0.55/user/year.

This is done by search engine partnerships, default bookmarks and distribution deals. Is this good or bad? What if you wanted to build a browser around speed, privacy, ad/tracking blocking features?

In my experience, sample size 1, Miele dishwashers are junk.

We bought a house in 2011 with a Miele dishwasher that was installed around 2007 (previous owners renovated the kitchen). It has broken down every 2 years or so. I think we've probably replaced almost every major part, thankfully under the home warranty that came with the house, and then under the home warranty we purchased when we rented the house out during a temporary relocation.

Contrast this to a builder-grade basic GE dishwasher from our old house (which was built around 1995 or so), which never failed. And whose interior got hot as an oven during the drying part of the cycle and actually dried the dishes. The only think the Miele has going for it is that it is quietest dishwasher I've ever used.
> and so they can handle the fallout" fuckup.

Even if this guy objected to it, unless he quit his job straight after implementing this, you can be sure it came back down on him.

Glad to see this perspective as the top comment that this community upvoted.

Our values determine where we devote our engineering resources -- time, money, attention, brilliance. If we degrade the environment to where it can't sustain our population, people will suffer. What are the relative values of millions maybe billions of climate refugees versus a fast car powered by unsustainable fossil fuels?

Imagine we devoted those resources to solving political and environmental problems.
I agree and say this all the time. As someone who grew up driving in an ancient 60's Volkswagen with well less than 100 HP, I can tell you that we can make small cars with much lower horsepower that also get far better fuel economy.

People then tell me that they think that is stupid and like having the acceleration when getting on the interstate. In all those years, I never found acceleration to be a problem. We've been pitched cars that have way more power than we need and that use way more fuel than we need. Magazines like Car and Driver will write negative editorials if a car isn't "zippy". What should matter is safety, cost, and fuel economy.

In the US' South region, nearly everyone feels the need for a giant truck. It has been engrained as a lifestyle choice. You get your truck to help you haul your four-wheeler for deer hunting and your boat for fishing. However, 90% of these trucks are used by single individuals as daily drivers to office jobs which is extremely wasteful. They even live in suburbs which have to get bigger garages to compensate. Each man's father, grandfather, and great-grandfather drove one too, so it is deeply tied to one's masculinity. The south also has some of the nation's poorest citizens and Mississippi/Alabama/Louisiana/Arkansas have some of the worst elementary and highschools in the nation. It isn't uncommon for folks to get extremely in debt on a $50k lifted 4x4 deisel pickup truck.
Ok, here's what you do.

Buy a bottle of olive oil and a bottle of vinegar (a fancy vinegar if you want, apple cider or balsamic, but not malt) then buy a packet of Italian spices (typically a blend of oregano, thyme, etc...)

Buy some salad greens, either a head of lettuce, or a box of spring mix or similar blend of greens.

To make salad dressing mix two parts oil to one part vinegar, put in a pinch of Italian spices, a pinch of salt, whisk.

Then pour over your greens, add some feta cheese olives and baby tomatoes, capers if you want.
