What I was trying to sell was that NFS is buggy, but past that, that it's just bad design to require the "equivalent functionality" of NFS at all. Really old applications and systems with really old designs needed NFS years ago, but now we have much better and more robust solutions for whatever janky thing a particular app is trying to accomplish with NFS-like semantics (which is really just emulating local filesystems over a network, and there's no reason a backend app needs to emulate local filesystems over a network).

If your project is greenfield, it is absolutely insane to require NFS's functionality in your design. Using NFS outside of production is okay, because when it ends up sucking, it won't sap your engineering time or budget or restrain your ability to scale. (Until non-production is a giant performance testing lab, and then NFS's suckitude does indeed restrain your business)

You're conflating "fault" with "responsibility". The second you signed up for the line of credit, the manager who evaluated your application became responsible for what happens afterwards. If you squandered it, it might be your fault, but the manager is the one who'll be getting grief for giving it to you in the first place.

tldr: it's the application of statutory sentencing with judicial discretion. the range is 3-15 years. the case was appealed all the way to the MS supreme court; quoting the article that quotes the presiding MS supreme court justice

>“Nash served his time for his previous convictions and stayed out of trouble with the law for many years. He has a wife and three children who rely on him. His crime was victimless, and the facts of the case lend themselves to an interpretation that his crime was accidental and likely caused by a failure of booking procedures,” King wrote. “Nash did not do anything nefarious with his phone, and he certainly did not hide his phone from law enforcement."

>“While I do not think this Court can find under the law that the trial court abused its discretion in sentencing, it is a case in which, in my opinion, both the prosecutor and the trial court should have taken a more rehabilitative, rather than punitive, stance.”

there's a good discussion in r/law about the case[1].

But it is extremely rare that a university publicly disavows its staff.

I mean: let's talk sample bias. So many psychological studies are run with just psychology students as subjects, certainly in cognitive science. There are also quite a few studies using questionable sources like Amazon Turk. Did anybody ever get reprimanded over this from higher up? I've only saw them receiving praise for yet another article published.

Custody at Conio – Part I
Regarding fonts, there is no single monospace font that fits the bill everywhere. A font may render beautifully or look completely unacceptable depending on a variety of factors. I personally prefer the following fonts:

* Linux, normal dpi: Hasklig in editors (Emacs, Atom), Iosevka in terminal

* Linux, hidpi: Input in editors and terminal

* Windows, hidpi: Input in console, Fira Code in Atom

I tried the JetBrains Mono font and it doesn't look like it's an improvement in any of my environments.
I've even switched to using the proportional Iosevka Aile for programming, here's someone else's screenshot from the last time it was mentioned on HN:

> 1. Android sells more, and offers more variety of mobile and wearable devices than Apple. And here’s the data to prove it.

> 2. Apple is a monopoly/monopsony and should be forced to allow more user choice of apps, allow sideloading, lower their prices, lower their app store cut, &c.

> Which one is is?

It's both, because they're two different contexts. There is no monopoly on phones; Android phones are direct competition. But what about app distribution? If you make apps and you want to buy app distribution to reach all customers, who is Apple's real competition for reaching customers on iOS? They haven't any; it's a monopoly. And it's not just like Walmart having a monopoly on shelf space at Walmart, because most Walmart customers will also shop at Target or Amazon, but most iOS customers don't also shop for apps at Google Play or Amazon. Apple is the only path to reach them.

Saying they could just buy an Android phone is like saying that a retailer with a regional monopoly in California doesn't really have a monopoly because all your customers could just move to New York. That's an unreasonable barrier to buy a $1 item, and on top of that it isn't even under the control of the app developer who wants to buy app distribution.

> Is this actually happening though? If so, who is doing it and how?

I think there's a lot of anecdotal evidence that would seem to confirm this. It might seem like they're listening, but it might just be the real-time data collection taking place. If you have an Alexa in your house, it's always on and listening.

I have a neighbor who swears when him and his wife are talking about their grocery list, they'll get ads on their phones for the stuff they need. They even tried on purpose to test it out and were talking about getting blinds (they didn't need new blinds) and twenty minutes later they opened Google on their phone and on their desktop PC and they were being served ads for blinds.

I had another friend who did the same thing and started talking about how he hated he had to constantly shovel all the snow in his driveway and within minutes was getting ads on his laptop for snow removal services.

People will swear Alexa doesn't do this, but the amount of instances I've heard makes me think they can't all be coincidental.

The part about filesystems is slightly incorrect.

> The way the file system handles this is incompatible with the workings of NAND flash.

That's true of most conventional filesystems, but log-structured filesystems are much more flash-friendly. That's why there has been a resurgence of interest in them, and also why a typical flash translation layer bears a striking resemblance to a log-structured FS. There are also flash-specific filesystems.

> to an HDD all sectors are the same.

This is not true because of bad blocks. Every disk has a reserve of blocks that can be remapped in place of a detected bad block, transparently, much like flash blocks are remapped. Beyond that, it's also useful for a disk to know which blocks are not in use so it can return all zeroes without actually hitting the media. There are special flags to force media access and commands to physically zero a block, for the cases where those are needed, but often they're not. Trim/discard actually gets pretty complicated, especially when things like RAID and virtual block devices are involved.

Exactly. This is classic POSIWID: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_purpose_of_a_system_is_wha...

People mainly buy things to solve problems, to end negative feelings. So if you want people to buy things, the obvious solution is to create negative feelings that can be ended by spending money on your product.

The most obvious example is of course addictive products. Just when we were finally weaning society of nicotine, Juul has been very successful in creating a new generation of addicts.

But I think they dynamic is true more broadly. Feeling low in social status? Buy this expensive car, these expensive clothes, this expensive watch! And if you aren't feeling like that, let's show you enough fancy people with fancy things until you do feel bad. Social status isn't your weakness? Well we have plenty of creative teams who will find something we can make you feel bad about.

And for those who are skeptical, I encourage you to read about Edward Bernays, the "father of public relations", who took his inspiration from war propaganda and applied it to manipulating consumer behavior: http://theconversation.com/the-manipulation-of-the-american-...
FWIW unless you have a diesel your official city mileage was 11 when the car was new. But as someone who has to live near other people and use roadways myself, I'm more concerned about tailpipe emissions.

Splitting large companies into smaller ones to get tax breaks and other incentives is extremely common.

That article has a link to the family blog, which has a photo of a WWII postcard they found in the building (with the address, confirmed with Google Street View).

That's not even rural Indiana. It's a town within a 500,000 person metro area and about a 25 minute drive from the downtown of the central city, complete with skyscrapers and everything. The town itself has a very solid looking (streetview) walkable downtown area. I looked on Zillow and fixer-upper houses within a few blocks of this building are listed for $35,000 to $90,000. Really nice, immaculate homes in the area appear to sell for $150,000 or so.

My guess is that $89,000 is right on target for this area, and I'd bet they spend multiples of that on restoration.
I'm not asking you to take my claims about my own conscious experience seriously at all. There's no need to cross the boundaries of self at all.

The central problem of consciousness is about how you have an experience (even if it is an illusion). Unless you don't have any experience of anything, in which case I'm confident that we'd deem you non-conscious and therefore your existence to be of not much relevance to the question at hand.

Whether or not your experience is an illusion or not, it is an experience. And it is experience ("qualia" in the philosophy of consciousness) that is the core question here.

They probably heat it selectively and still pay a lot in utilities. One of the photos of stairs looks like it has a fairly small HVAC so there are likely multiple systems for the whole building.
For some reason, it isn't registered as a mono-spaced font on Windows 10 when I installed it. Thus some editors as well as CMD and powershell can't even open the font. However, I can use this font from MS Word.

> Don't count on it. Physically locating it and disconnecting it might be very difficult.

I already know where it is: it's in a box underneath the entertainment system ("head unit"), and there are a lot of instructions about accessing it.

I also have two options for disconnecting it:

1) total disconnection

2) leave it connected, but cripple its function by removing the antenna connections

I'm thinking that if #1 results in an error #2 would be less likely to.
>Amusingly, there are two sets of people arguing about why Apple is bad, and each have their own argument:
1. Android sells more, and offers more variety of mobile and wearable devices than Apple. And here’s the data to prove it.

2. Apple is a monopoly/monopsony and should be forced to allow more user choice of apps, allow sideloading, lower their prices, lower their app store cut, &c.

What about 3?

Apple's products are overpriced and underpowered, locked down devices sold as fashion statements or 'lifestyle' accessories that are more like toys for rich people than the miniature computers they're supposed to be.

As for their computers, similar argument, overpriced, underpowered, locked down hardware.

And then there's the whole culture of snobbery surrounding Apple and their products that has existed since at least the mid-late 90's about how superior Apple products are to everything else always that's just kind of grated on me...well since then.

For the sake of anyone who uses your software, I hope you're better at writing code than coming up with metaphors.
> "Look at it"

I did not write that. I wrote “look at, for instance, page 3”. By that I meant that the pictures on the first two pages might appear totally blank and might therefore be meant to be blank, but specifically page 3 (and others), shows that there are meant to be other things in the pictures. And there you have my reasoning.

And, as it turns out, I was right, and there really were other things in the pictures, and none of them were meant to be blank. You’re just tone policing.

I follow - the default system level (meaning without me tweaking it) fontconfig maps "Monospace Regular" to DejaVu Sans, not DejaVu Mono - so in reality, my "non mono" font is more readable to me (we all know this is subjective) than this actual mono font. I do map Courier to DejaVU Sans Mono in my own custom config, but never actually use that font - it's more for web rendering and stuff to look nice.

Outside of terminal windows and places where Monospace Regular is used automatically, I tend to use Luxi family as my font -- it used to be shipped with RHEL in the 90s, was removed due to license problems (or so I'm to believe) in one of the Fedora Core releases. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luxi_fonts
