I'm calling this Dropbox for geeks from now on. Looks very promising, though.
This is exactly what I have and what I'm concerned about. I don't think I'll actually go to my own hosting, but I'd like to have a solution that isn't gmail.
Name of the app threw me off. I thought this was designed to attach to GL context and show that is actually happening. Like Nvidia PerfHud.

Here is some criticism:

- Your site straight up asks for my credit card number. Small line below "Secure connection using Paymill GmbH" not enough for me to trust you. Believe it or not PayPal or Amazon Payments would work better. At least i can get a refund that way.

- Where is the demo? I'm getting ripped off ?

- I hate when people compare price of their products to a commodity. I don't know how much coffee cost in your world but i can buy 100 cups of coffee where i live. This kinda of comparisons always comes from the bunch that creates long lines at Starbucks. Just don't assume 15 dollars aren't that much. That's half the money i make in a day.
Author here. I wrote this to power a distributed tail of all of our logs on websolr.com. This lets us do more advanced monitoring, and we'll start exposing logs and insights from logs to users directly pretty soon. Golang was a bunch of fun for this project, and lets us ship cross-platform binaries with no dependencies, which makes our lives easier on the deploy side.
They have a native linux 64bit client, that's great! The linux binary is cli only, but provides a web interface on port 8888. However, the daemon binds to address 0.0.0.0 and not just localhost (127.0.0.1 or ::1)! So make sure you have a firewall. Otherwise everybody can access the web interface and thus your secrets.
There's a rendezvous server that also serves as a fallback relay in case two devices that want to sync are behind highly-unfriendly NATs. In that sense, it's exactly like Dropbox.

But it doesn't store your data, so yes, one device must always be on in order to sync with a new device. However, if you have a device that needs changes made on another one, it will just wait around and sync whenever the device with changes comes back online.
It seems to me that commenting on how many kids somebody wants to have is incredibly rude. That's their business, not yours.

I think that history will show that you're on the wrong side of this debate; we should be encouraging good parents to have more children, not less. We're facing a demographic crisis, her kids are going to help maintain the social safety net during your retirement.

And adoption is not a panacea: just ask anyone who's trying to adopt children on just how hard it is.

I am indeed being cynical, but I was also trying to play along with the premise of the article.

I think worrying over the influence of PR amounts to rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, "news" ("The lie that something important happens every day") is much more fundamentally broken, as per this article that was discussed a while ago:

It gimbals the engine for pitch and yaw, and uses cold-gas thrusters for roll (around the vertical axis).
I got in on the closed Alpha just last week, and it immediately fit into a use case I had where I needed to sync a folder on an OSX machine with a remote linux server. SFTP would have worked in this use case just as well, except it can be janky to slot into a non-developer's workflow.

Long story short, I setup BS on both machines with an absolute minimum of fuss, copied the password over, and the folder synced. Definitely does one thing and does it well.
Apple USD prices are excluding VAT while EUR prices include that.
I wouldn't decry the article addressing mostly women, because IMO, work life balance is more an issue for women esp those of us who harbor carrer related ambitions.

In spite of men treating women as equal and sharing responsibilities, in my experience, most of the time women carry the greater part of the daily load related to running a household and tending to children.

Women feel an unspoken pressure from society to have a clean beautiful well run house. Add to that the pressure to look good, be in a good shape and dress well.

They are bombarded with images of professional women in business attire and women in aprons cooking gourmet meals with children frolicking around. They are constantly struggling to be both these type of women.

On the other hand, society and media don't put out so many conflicting images of men. Men have been consistently expected to be bread winners, be successful in their professional life.

I am not saying, men don't understand that with a working wife, they have to lend a helping hand at home, but from what I have seen, women end up carrying most of the daily brunt and they feel like they must because of what they see on tv and thousands of years of history.

Ok, that tracks better than it being something nVidia in particular did.

I don't see a serious problem with the scenario you describe, though. You're not really describing a hostile scenario, just an affinity for commercial software.

There is a bit of a problem of course; I find a lot of papers that describe how to do things with commercial technology that isn't in the budget. That hasn't been insurmountable for me in any way, but maybe others have had more serious problems with it.
Could someone who has run this compare it to other log tailer/shipper programs like lumberjack (https://github.com/jordansissel/lumberjack) ?
FYI regarding highly-tuned code -- An ex ATI/AMD GPU core designer told me that the price you pay for writing optimized code in OpenCL versus the device specific assembler is roughly 3x. Something to keep in mind if you're targeting a large enough system to OpenCL and you find spots that can't be pushed any faster.

Would add to what you've written above that "house husbands" are not necessarily revered in a positive way by popular culture (like business titans, celebrities, athletes etc.) as important high achievers. Nor do women (anecdotally over many many years) seem to give high social standing to house husbands. I mean sometimes they talk a good game or use semi patronizing words. But in the back there is always an underlying "couldn't cut the mustard apparently" floating around. Women in general want men who can slay the dragon and bring home the meal and make a comfortable life (which of course varies greatly on the woman).

I would caution by the way anyone who is "young" who has a spouse, girlfriend etc. that tells them "money isn't important to me I want you to spend more time sharing responsibilities around the house and helping with the kids" to wait until later when you aren't living in the right school district or can't pay the bills whether all that means anything that is when idealism collides with economic reality.
Not quite, a linux system of ~2010 has several advances over a Unix system/V from the late 1970's it's a late 1960s muscle car compared to the Model A of PDP-11. Same basic technology under the hood, but refined and much better understood.

Most of the "advanced" programming environments look very nice but fail to meet the needs of real world usage; where you have to talk to other systems and get dirty doing it.

When I heard all the negative press around SimCity, I became nostalgic for my childhood, and bought SimCity for iPod. I've really enjoyed playing it twice. Even though the controls are different, I picked up the knack right away.
I would respectfully disagree with what you seem to be implying.

This service would mostly be used by us who are wary about trusting Google/Microsoft/Dropbox and the judgement of their automated decision systems with our life . Yesterday there was a HN story about a guy who got kicked off Google Docs because an automated program was trolling/mining through their users files and its judgement was not to be questioned by mere mortals.

What if I put a picture of me and my kid playing in the swimming pool -- what is to prevent Dropbox/Google/Skydrive from tagging it as offensive and setting an overzealous DA or social-worker upon my family ? People have been arrested/detained at border crossings for perfectly innocuous pictures like these.

Therefore if you think privacy is only important for people stealing stuff, your are being naive.
The free alternatives are not so good for beginners. One of MATLAB's main strengths is the embedded editor + repl, whereas with Python/Numpy/Matplotlib stack, there are just too many moving parts. The environment of MATLAB can be emulated with ipython workbook or emacs, but I don't believe it is easy enough for beginners.

Indeed. First off, it is unrealistic to expect to rewrite perl/python scripts (much higher level scripting languages) in C++ and expect the same level of succinctness.

C++ is for larger , high performance applications.

The piper needs to be paid one way or another. If you rewrite a perl script in C++ for performance, the relative increase in verbosity is the price you pay.

Your website feels clunky and confusing.

Why can I click 'Next Question' before I've actually chosen an answer?

Why are you telling me that something is 'coming soon' after displaying its intro question so prominently?

Why is 'coming soon' a button?

Your default user experience is broken: I can't actually do anything using the prominently displayed buttons / suggested workflow. I don't know what this thing is until I click the 'Browse' button.

Additionally, in another comment you mention that saving an item is important for your analysis / feedback mechanisms. Why, then, am I only invited to save something if I hover over it? Suggest the potential interaction to me, don't force me to discover it.

In general your website isn't all that well designed. It screams bootstrap, and the 'familiarality' excuse is just that - an excuse. It doesn't feel familiar, because I don't know what your service is. It just feels confusing and unexciting.
Depending on the release and the article, I'm not convinced that rewriting or lifting words from a press release is always a bad thing. Is it possible to write a story about the latest Consumer Price Index without it being substantially based on this press release http://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/cpi.pdf ? Is it possible to write about a newly announced iPhone without lifting data from Apple PR events or releases?

I would rather have an article that lifts a technical phrase from a press release over one that attempts to reframe or extrapolate from it in a way that is no longer factually correct.
> A de facto standard,

When the source is closed, and the protocol is closed + encrypted? I think you may be a little optimistic... (Though I do hope that either the source or the protocol get opened)
There's 20 million people living in Beijing though, which allready makes it a transportation and housing nightmare, with prices for rent skyrocketing. If you've been to beijing around Spring Festival, where most people head back to their families, you'll notice that it is almost empty. Like positively razed of people. In a way, yes, controlling such migration is a horrible thing to do, but I couldn't imagine Beijing with another 20 million migrant workers trying to crowd their way through the city, along with the major Spring Festival rush that'd happen.
From stop and frisk of minority groups, to pervasive police surveillance of Muslims, to police harassment of the Occupy Wall Street protests, it is already clear that Michael Bloomberg has had disagreements with the Constitution.
It sounds like the problem there is that you have a "team" with 50 people on it. You don't need to know things that don't affect you; if everything affects you, your organization doesn't know how to compartmentalize its architecture.
Either Last-Modified or Etag is sufficient. Most servers will add both, though.

Edit: The difference is that Last-Modified allows clients to use a heuristic to determine if the response should be cached for a certain duration (unless explicit Cache-Control or Expires headers are used). The heuristic isn't specified, but a 10% fraction of Date - Last-Modified is suggested, and in fact, that is what e.g. Internet Explorer does.

Automated network installer (eg cobbler) installs OS, which installs a configuration management system (eg puppet or chef or ansible) which sets up the server appropriately.

Done correctly someone logging into a non development server should be an alertable "red flag".

Even for a development server you should use veewee, vagrant, box grinder etc etc to produce something consistent and repeatable.

It costs me $2800/month to send my kids to daycare. For a similar amount of money, we could probably hire a nanny. What we pay is not out of line for the area that we live in. This is a decision that many middle class parents will face. We are decidedly upper-middle class, but I know middle-middle class parents with a "servant" just for this reason.

Theoretically, I am OK with the government not giving a wink and a nod to certain classes of business. I am also theoretically OK with not allowing vast amounts of money to pass around without taxation.

Practically, of course, implementing these ideas could be very nastily done and make no one happy but certain privileged people who attempt to squash competition.

Can someone explain how `Spawn` ships the closure for execution to a remote host? I'm quite curious to know. I had a grep through the source, but I only found one [1] implementation of `Spawn` accepting a function as a parameter in the code base. This hides the true implementation, which I'm struggling to find. Any hints?

I'm avoiding the whole discussion of about ICANN's money grubbing here, in favor of how a TLD operator could become the money grubber instead/as well.

While I can see _some_ value in owning a brand-name TLD like .patagonia or .nike, I always thought the real value would be in owning something more generic, like .travel (which I know already exists) or .shoes. Then you can squat all you want on the names like patagonia.travel or nike.shoes and make a killing when all the brands associated with your generic niche want a little piece of your land.

There are a few advanced configurations where BTSync trumps Aero (at least last time I used it - someone, please correct me if these have been implemented).

- One way sync

- Selective device LAN sync (so you can tell it to only sync over LAN)

- Self destructing one-time share keys

- Less-friction on sharing - using a key based copy and paste system

- Powered by BT (this may not be an advantage though since BT is throttled on quite a number of providers through DPI worldwide
Portability, accessibility, etc. "Because it's hard" is never a good excuse to not do something.
Lumberjack seems protocol-specific (https://github.com/jordansissel/lumberjack#future-protocol-d...), whereas Dendrite aims to be agnostic.

Most of the other log tailer/shippers are in java, so untenable for RAM-constrained environments. Dendrite also has an emphasis on structuring and re-emitting logs in e.g. json, rather than say, matching specific lines and sending email when you see them, or just forwarding all logs in their original format.
They're hosted by MediaTemple and the IP doesn't look to be shared with other customers. Requesting the site without a host sends you to the main GeeksPhone site, so at least they're not on a shared hosting.

I am surprised the article does not mention that Avalon, in addition to ready-to-use devices, just started selling bare mining chips to OEM manufacturers last week. And they already sold $5M worth of them (500 thousand chips) in the past 8 days alone! This equates to 140 Thash/s (twice more power than the current network). Lead time is 9-10 weeks. Manufactured on-demand at TSMC.

My personal vote for Lean In valedictorian is the woman at the bottom left, I don't know her life or her medication history but she has the diagnostic sign of her cuff pulled up over her wrist in what I call "the borderline sleeve," that girl will have endlessly whipsawing emotions and a lot of enthusiastic ideas that will ultimately result in a something borrowed/something blue.

I noticed the $1 million exemption for small businesses. How will that work? If you sell for 11 months without collecting taxes then find yourself going viral around Christmastime and crossing the $1 million mark unexpectedly, are you suddenly liable for all those prior sales?
I recommend checking out forums like RCGroups, there's loads of information there.

There are many ways to start into the hobby. You can get yourself a radio and a simulator and learn to fly on the computer first. You could go for an off-the-shelf solution like the DJI Phantom that will fly very well without much tuning or fiddling (but it'll cost the part). Or you can go the DIY way - a good keyword is "MultiWii", it's a fairly cheap but rather labor-intensive way of getting your first copter to the skies.
I've been using BitTorrent Sync for the past week. For the use case of sharing large files, it obliterates Dropbox, AeroFS, and Cubby.

It distributes the files intelligently and makes optimal use of everyone's bandwidth. Dropbox, for example, slowly uploads all files to the cloud before distributing them, plus there's the space issue. AeroFS allows unlimited space, but is far slower than my Internet and LAN speeds allow, and does things like trying to upload the same file, linearly, to every peer at once. Cubby has limited space and has the same slow syncing problems.

I'm running BitTorrent Sync on my 6 year old Windows 7 Thinkpad, a newer Windows 8 desktop, a Digital Ocean Ubuntu VPS, and a Synology DS110j NAS. It runs perfectly on all of the above, and provides a useful web interface for the VPS and NAS.
