They may have been able to make this command they used:

cat /dev/md2 \

| pv -s 1888127576000 \

| grep -P --byte-offset --text 'FLV\x01\x05' \

| tee -a /mnt/storagebox/grep-log.txt

somewhat (or a lot) faster by adding a strings command (maybe with an appropriate length arg matching the grep pattern length) to the pipeline after the cat, and removing the pv call, be ause then only the printable ASCII characters woyls be passed to the grep, potentially heavily reducing the work it has to do, depending on the breakup between binary and text data (bytes) on disk.

I do this today with Nomad/Consul. Hashicorp's Raft+Serf implementation allows for shocking amounts of latency between servers/clients. I have several centralized server clusters (the "servers" _should_ be geographically close, the "agents" can be far and wide), and agents more than 200ms+ away, and across multiple clouds/on-prem. Everything works just fine.

I've legitimately considered running some kind of simple SaaS and behind the scenes running a Nomad cluster and having the remote SaaS agent just be a Nomad client.

Apparently, smoking pot makes you dream less. I have no experience with that kind of stuff, and I don't recommend you to take drugs, but as a last resort - why not try that?
When I'm tired my brain tricks me into going back to sleep, so I guess you are just tired. If you are sleeping more then 8 hours and still feel tired you might have bad sleep quality.
Maybe its only clear to you. I don't see what is "clearly inferior" about Microsoft tech. It is reliable and rock solid and has worked for our industry very well (vaccines).

>Six kids

Keep in mind that college education has gotten enormously expensive. The forgettable state school I went to now estimates a total cost of $20-30k/year (inclusive of food, housing, transportation, etc - depending if the kids live with you or independently). 4 years, 6 kids on the low end would then be around $500k. Now, parents obviously arent obligated to pay for their children's higher education, but if you were thinking about it, that's half your money right there - at today's prices.
I'm curious, why do you have so many perl installations around. I thought I'd got a fair number of python venvs kicking around for each of the repos I'm dealing with, but nowhere near that many.
I have this strange experience where I only remember my dreams if I am woken up from sleep unnaturally. When it happens it feels as if my mind knows that in the future I'll be woken up by something. Obviously this isn't how the brain chemistry works, but I can't help but feel this way when it happens.
Damn, thanks for the feedback! You are completely right on everything, I am going to do another release asap. Thanks again!

It sounds like you are arguing that i.i.d. frequentism doesn't work. I view AIT as generalizing frequentism to non-i.i.d. timeseries. This is formalized as Martin-Lof tests for randomness, and Solomonoff induction.
Ask HN: What kinds of features from today's apps belong baked into the OS?
On the input side of things, we've already had speech input apps like Siri and Cortana that 'accompany' the OS install, so what about baking in at least some of the kind of 3D functionality of a user friendly game engine (e.g., Dreams) into the OS UI or even broadcast functionality (like StreamYard or ReStream). Raises the old question: what does baking in additional OS functionality buy you? (recalling that cynicism about this question confronted the introduction of the GUI)
If k8s was being designed from ground up I would want a move away from yaml for configuration to a strongly typed DSL, something like gradle doing with move to Kotlin DSL from weak groovy DSL.

This would mean better integration/autocomplete in editors and no time wasted on silly things like number of indents being wrong.

Hot-swappable RAM was and is a standard feature on mainframe equipment (along with often hot-swappable CPUs), and was also a common feature on higher-end server equipment through the '90s (for example Sun). It also appeared of course in some of the more in-between architectures such as HP Tandem/NonStop, which also featured hot-swappable CPUs. It was not unusual on these machines to have flashing status lights which would lead a technician to which drawer to open and which module in that drawer to swap out.

There wasn't a particular niche for this equipment, it was just intended to be repairable while in service. At the time, it was typical to spend a larger dollar amount on equipment which was manufactured for very high serviceability. A combination of improvement in the actual reliability of hardware, increasing cost pressure, and probably as the lesser factor a shift towards more horizontal architectures (where redundancy was across machines instead of across components in machines) has made this a lot less common, although still not at all unheard of on high-end equipment.
> Just reading the "abstract", this sounds way more complicated than anyone needs a VCS to be. I also question the "mathematically sound" bit - the "commutative changes/diff" thing sounds really far fetched.

Care to say anything more quantitative and less feel-y? Because you're refuting pretty much the entire premise of pijul (which clearly exists, works, and has been somewhat rigorously designed) with nothing but adjectives. So having a concrete counterpoint would be helpful because pijul is just sitting there with very concrete counterpoints to your entire comment :)

Zig is interesting but still very immature. Its memory model is manual management thus has no advantages over rust or nim. So it's marketed as better C (not any more than that).
The rest of the language is just fine if you are used to the ML language family, maybe that is the issue for those coming from more mainstream languages.

That’s a very compelling thesis statement. I’m looking forward to the discussion here.

What criticisms of your argument are you anticipating, if any?
That was a learning for me too, but I thoroughly enjoyed the psets. I don't mind Java - setting everything up can be annoying but I find it fairly straightforward and its massive standard library comes in handy for a class like this.
Are they raving, though? In the reviews I’ve read running iOS apps has been a disappointment — many apps have opted out of being available, those that haven’t have issues like viewing movies in small windows, and the “touch alternative” interface is reportedly difficult to use.
I haven't used it, but doesn't this suit the average usecase?

Basically just do normal ipv4 via your dhcp server rather than an overlay.

-- Edit

For arguments sake, I just set this up:

root@nas:/opt/cni/bin# ./dhcp daemon

cat /etc/cni/net.d/01-macvlan.conf
{
"name": "mynet",
"type": "macvlan",
"master": "eno1",
"ipam": {
"type": "dhcp",
"routes": [{ "dst": "192.168.1.0/24"}]
}
}

PODIP = 192.168.1.181:8096

Works in my browser; so routes correctly.

Got its dhcp from my pihole.

You may want to read more about them: neither of them were the entirely wholesome people we were led to believe. Gandhi was so drunk on his conception of non-violent resistance that he urged the german jewish people to go willingly to the death camps. Mother Teresa was involved in numerous controversies.

> "But if the Jewish mind could be prepared for voluntary suffering, even the massacre I have imagined could be turned into a day of thanksgiving and joy that Jehovah had wrought deliverance of the race even at the hands of the tyrant. For to the godfearing, death has no terror. It is a joyful sleep to be followed by a waking that would be all the more refreshing for the long sleep."

https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/lsquo-the-jews-rsquo-by...

> The same paper claims that doctors found a shortage of care, food, and painkillers, although Teresa had raised millions of dollars. Slate also found that Teresa brought in tons of money, but her missionaries looked as bad when she founded them as they did after her death. (During her own illness, Teresa fled to California clinics, Slate reports.) The conditions in her missions were so dire, in fact, that they were once compared to photographs of "Nazi Germany's Bergen-Belsen concentration camp."

I think maybe I'd have had the same type of reaction to you with a lighter modern news piece. The pandemic or politics are both right out, but a clearly-new entertainment piece would maybe elicit the same response from me that you've described here.
Addicts who recover tend to admit that they are always in recovery, not that they’re healed. Though the religious framework and the 12 step program are very similar. Hopefully he keeps the faith if it works for him.

Edit to add, look at the last line of the article itself.

"Obviously nobody should be allowed to write online and moderation just postpones that desirable end state"

would be a valid counterargument I think
Game asset packages - all game assets are read only and need to be compressed and nowadays with SSD's you don't want duplication.

Just to clarify that last statement (and something to think about) with HDD's you want duplicate assets so that you don't cause seeks which are VERY slow on 5400rpm HDD's still found on some/alot of systems.

Who arbitrates?

Is it whoever owns big corporations? Is it the mainstream media? Are they trustworthy? Is it the government? Scientists? Which one of us holds the truth?

One man's facts are another man's lies. And this is fine. We should be able to tolerate multiple opinions. Labelling things as 'hate speech' and denying people the right to speech doesn't help!

I was at a CF conference with MySpace as a speaker and they talked about how often they went down but that they were switching to another CF engine with .net capabilities (BlueDragon). Their discussions and jokes about instability and going down due to bad code updates were really cringy and gave the impression that their platform was a mess.
My family owns a subaru and a honda. I've had to bring each of them in (the subaru, twice) for recalls that could have been fixed with OTA patches had the manufacturers been so prepared.

So I can't sign onto your "we aren't inundated" assertion.

Before I got rid of it in favor of the Subaru, my BMW had its key fob hacked, but the manufacturer opted not to recall it for a fix, in the US at least. I think similar models had gotten different treatment in Europe.

I could only speculate as to why the Tesla hack that's fixable OTA gets so much more attention than these others that apply to larger numbers of cars, but I have no inside knowledge and have done no study that would make my speculation on that front any more reliable than yours.

Whatever the reason is, it's not because the hacks aren't there, or because it takes something less than a recall to fix them. Why do you think it is?
Cous have also ended up in the same place by just gradually internalizing the cost and higher for an effective ban - not unlike a carbon tax.
That's not the entire explanation for Ng's use of Octave though.

At the birth of Coursera in 2012, R and Python were already clearly established in the field of data science. R was the dominant open-source language for data science, with Python very close behind (and already gaining ascendancy among folks who identified with "machine learning" rather than "data science"). I remember Matlab/Octave being more associated with academics/students in EE (signal processing, wireless communications, and the like); if you want clear insight into matrix operations, Octave is great.

I think Ng made a very conscious decision at the time to eschew built-in functions and not get distracted by trendy languages - hence the use of Octave to learn how to implement algorithms at the most basic linear-algebra level.

Even at the time his decision was not well understood nor popular - way back then I remember people asking "Why Octave instead of R or Python?"
There is no "friction" with macros, sure lot's of packages implement their own utility macros but most can be hidden under ordinary procs. Macros CAN be called like ORDINARY procs, check syntactic sugar module [1], though not all macros are designed this way. Unless we are talking about public DSLs. But I don't really understand what's the problem with them.

I'm a little disappointed that there's so little analysis on the free form questions.

I can't remember what I answered, so I was looking through some of these free form questions to try and identify my comments. I kept thinking something had to be me because it's word for word the same thoughts that have gone through my head 100s of times as a long-time OCaml user. Unfortunately, it feels like these are getting ignored because there's so little commentary on them (though I doubt that's actually the case).
Conversely, I feel like a lot of time configuration is lazyiness on the part of the designer of the software.

Software developers are a tiny fraction of business users. In our industry - vaccines - most people use Windows laptops to get work done. Execs do use Apple stuff, but they're not doing the actual ground-level work, so its probably the same everywhere. Apple hardware is expensive to buy, expensive to maintain, and difficult to service due to its flawed design (everything is soldered, no easy access to components, no third party repair, no access to parts, generates lots of e-waste, etc). The OS also is not capable enough to be easily administered by IT.
Honestly as long as it's not written in JavaScript (I like not having npm and node on my machine) or C (not abstract enough) I'm happy to use it. For small tool at least.
If Donald Trump had just spent 30 minutes more a day reading books or briefings, we wouldn’t be litigating misinformation, disinformation, flat earthers, fact checking, conspiracies, boomers, etc.

Thousands of rants never written, tens of thousands of podcast episodes would have never been recorded, millions of tweets never tweeted.

You actually only needed to improve the literacy of one man to make irrelevant 99.99% of the problems described here. Under the Biden presidency all this shit will still exist, it won’t disappear on noon Jan 20 2021, but it will stop mattering. Treating Trump as a constant while blaming everyone else (like this does) is the trap.
Look into Behavior Driven Development, this is a methodology designed explicitly to prevent the problem you are experiencing.

If you really want to learn programming, I recommend https://eloquentjavascript.net/ , this book is targeted at beginners but has enough rigor to give you a good base. JavaScript is also lingua-franca of web development. It is also a much simpler language than JavaScript with a smaller learning curve.
Ceding "fact-checking" (i.e. narrative construction) to social media companies (directly, or indirectly by letting them choose contractors to do it for them) is a terrible idea. Not only is it unlikely the narrative you receive will track reality in a useful way, but it gives a huge amount of political power to these companies.

A much more sane approach, IMO, is to come up with software frameworks where you choose which research firms or individuals (friends, professors, etc.) you want to follow and how much trust you want to assign to each of them. There is plenty of research on ways to do this well in the context of "web-of-trust" cryptosystems.

DMI information is supplied by BIOS - and those can be very, very wrong. More often than not the only DMI/ACPI information correctness the manufacturer cares about is "Windows doesn't complain".
We used CloudFormation and ECS/Fargate to great effect at my last company. It simplified a lot, especially logging, networking, and IAM integration compared to Kubernetes.

The biggest downside was that it took quite a while to spin up new tasks (but that might be Fargate specifically) which hurt us when we were trying to do async things (and we wouldn’t be able to use lambda for many async things because the run time would be too long or the enormous bundle size for a small-ish Python task would exceed Lambda’s limits). It would also make deployments take longer than we wanted (we were really pushing the envelope for frequent, tiny deployments) especially in rollback scenarios.
SystemD is like Solaris service manager, but far worse.

Wow, thanks for sharing your experiences.

Anecdotally, I've experienced the small business/enterprise dilemma from the inside. Working for some companies perpetually struggling to make payroll and others looking for useful ways to spend more of the money flowing in.

It seems like instead of ignoring small businesses, one could group view the owners as consumer, with similar scale and prove considerations.

It turns out that this is now hard to answer! I tried finding the original articles and screencasts I’d used to get started, and they’re all on dead domains and Google Video. The tl;dr version is Proxy Objects And Their Implications. QS was (and remains) a serviceable launcher, but it shone most as a way to construct functional sentences, similar to UNIX pipes but for the MacOS GUI. Being able to do trigger->Current App Menu Contents->(type name of menu item) was already rad. “Select all these files, compress them into a single archive, then attach them to an email with the following subject” from your launcher was doable and even straightforward. “Capture text/current clipboard and apply a preset template for this keybinding and append to my Capture file” was essentially the first pass for how people did GTD capture on Mac.

Granted, a lot of the is now doable with specialized apps, but to no longer have so flexible and versatile a tool makes me sad.

I can’t build demos at the moment, as my Mac has been in the shop with Apple for almost a month now with precious little communication—but that’s another rant entirely.
