Many people have complained about CONFIG_USER_NS missing in Ubuntu [1] [2] [3] [4] [5].

Apparently the reason is that it's not compatible with XFS filesystem until 3.12 [6], and even though nobody uses [7] the XFS filesystem, backwards compatibility takes precedence over new features.

This is changed in 3.12, but it looks like the patch just missed the boat for Ubuntu Saucy [8].

There must be a reason the Chromium/Chrome team decides to displays custom fonts like that on Windows. They almost universally look terrible, or at least worse than every other browser and every other platform. No other browser renders them so thin that the lines of the glyphs become disconnected.

I opened a bug report about font rendering and text color issues in 2011. Not only is narrow text rendered oddly as you can see, but if you give it any color other than black, the rendered color doesn't match the color you specify in CSS. It can be way off, like blues rendering as purple. Last I checked, the bug was still open with no work done on it.

The Future: Controlling Drones with My Hands
Totally get the ipv6 tunnel being a pain.

I think our allowances will have to be sorted out a little down the road but /48 is easy to acquire (unlike ipv4 where we have to wait till we're at 80% capacity before we're allocated more IPs). ipv6 gets a little sticky when you start talking about the internet of things, there are a lot of new concepts introduced that we have to take into account when we're managing what is closing in on a million of the worlds public hosts. I don't see ANY reason why we won't allow a least one /48 per droplet. Part of our slowness on things like CDN, load balancing, failover etc are because we want the system to be really well build out to accommodate both ipv6 and the future of internet protocol addressing. While I can't speak for other providers, for us it's something we take seriously, but need to test all our systems together to make sure cloud 2.0 if you will works really we..

As I'm sure you know, we've scaled massively in the last 8 months and unfortunately the "lets just pop in a feature" becomes a lot more complex as the complexity and stability needs of our customers increase.

What I can say with 100% confidence is that there is a group of really amazing engineers working on this stuff and it's all in a roadmap, we just have to make sure everything is simple, stable and safe before we roll out.

I hope you can appreciate your measure in this matter. :)
Hey Stanley, see above. :)
A model is often a tool to ask the right questions, intended to be tweaked until it does what you want (or you give up thinking you can get what you want if the data won't allow it).

That's actually how one performs experiments and develops theories in the social (and managerial) sciences, such as economics: given data, and a hypothesis, and try to develop a model that fits both and offers demonstrable predictive power for future circumstances and datasets.

Of course, one's math might be wrong, and the model may still be falsified by future data. But that's what makes social science interesting.
Docker in Ubuntu 13.x has been working great for me at DO. Just have to use a recent enough kernel.

That's a good point. Gamma rays are pretty penetrating though, so unlike visible light there might be some benefit to having a rather thick piece of flesh to absorb as much gamma rays as possible, instead of letting most of them pass through the skin then get uselessly absorbed by muscle and organs.

I think you are dead on with the power consumption point though. The human body uses something around 100 watts or so right? (That might just be how much they put off in waste heat, I'm not really sure... but in the neighborhood of a few hundred watts I guess) You would need to put out way more than that in gamma rays to power the person, taking into account waste at various stages. I suspect you'd cook a human before you managed to power one.
It was definitely broad and sure doesn't cover the entire spectrum of companies. I do believe that it include a whole lot of startups today though, and I hope that this helps them think about how to better set themselves up to succeed.

Why I use Vim
You're getting downvoted which is too bad because you're talking about the right plan for the wrong reasons.

Google for the term bioaccumulation. Your body, for example, has serious problems with bioaccumulating radioactive iodine and strontium and a couple other elements. The Japanese plan was to plant fungi that looooove eating cesium and accumulating it in their fungus flesh (well, maybe it wasn't cesium, but you get the idea). Then you scrape up the radioactive, dying fungus into waste barrels and plant some more, and eventually all the bioaccumulative element is in barrels instead of dirt.

There are of course minor engineering issues like how the heck you gather the bioaccumulated plant matter without using humans who will contaminate themselves and die and/or make a bigger mess than just leaving it alone.

There is also a little engineering problem with scale... say you had a major DDT spill which thins poultry eggs killing off wild birds. Well, you could put an industrial poultry fryer farm over the DDT spill and bury the DDT contaminated eggs in the bottom of the ocean, or maybe incinerate them or something to provide cogeneration heat and electricity to run the plant... yeah... it would just take a trillion birds a billion years to clean up a major spill. Other than that minor scaling engineering problem...
> Backlink profile is a huge part of the ranking algorithm and a page won't rank without good links pointing at least at the domain, if not the exact page.

Yes, but backlinks don't just come from marketing, which you seem to be presuming.

> So if you write a bunch of excellent content but don't develop a backlink profile

Again, good content will get backlinks organically, not just from marketing.

> Yes, people could technically find it. No, they won't find it.

This is quite simply false, people do find, tons of tons of blogs get the majority of their traffic from Google with no marketing from the blog owner. Good content will wind up on sites like this or reddit and backlinks will follow.

> I hear your position over and over again from developers who have a zealous disdain for marketing but know little about marketing.

I don't think you're actually listening very well to what those developers are trying to convey.

> You presume that SEO is in itself something bad and evil that only evil bad people have to do, because good products speak for themselves and therefore earn merit.

You don't know what I presume, how about you not tell me what I think and worry about conveying your own position thank you.

Marketing and SEO make a site grow faster, but it's wrong to think a site can't get traffic and grow without them.

Google's job is to find and display good content to their users, not to find and display sites which market themselves to death but don't have good content. Good content is the key ingredient, not SEO and marketing. Backlinks are but one of many factors involved in ranking, and their goal is finding good content, not finding the most linked content.

Not to be negative, but how soon before these founders quit ParallelX for their next great idea?

There may be specific examples (HDTV) where waiting means your money buys more, but overall the more you wait the less your money is worth in the economy due to inflation. Technology making products cheaper is not an example of deflation. Inflation and deflation pertain only to currency not products.

If however you hold your currency and everyday its worth more, besides the bare essentials there is barely an incentive to spend it. Also there is no guarantee that the HDTV will become cheaper, however it is guaranteed that a deflationary currency will gain value the more you hold on to it.
> people who search on Google WANT to see those ads.

I doubt that very much.

> A lot of the time, ads are the most relevant result.

And there I though search results were supposed to be relavant - and that's why people started using Google.

The normal CTR is now about 0.2 or 0.3 percent? That kind of contradicts what you are saying.
Users don't hate change, they hate you
It's a backlash against iPods, really.
Kids don't have standards as high as yours. I'm sure kids would get a kick out of it, even if they aren't really building something. I think it would help get them to be less intimidated by an expensive and complicated looking circuit board, and that's a great thing. I mean, I'm still intimidated by exposed circuit boards. They're expensive and I don't want to accidentally break it. There's not a whole lot to it, but it's still probably enough to get kids excited and interested. Remember, when you go under the basic interface for a computer, it's very very intimidating to non technical people.

If you read through, the bulk of the project is more about programming. Putting together the computer parts and customizing it is more about getting the kids in the right mindset, and giving them a confidence boost. "You just built a computer! Now programming should be more fun!"

If you want to teach your kids about electronics, not programming, then building a radio or doing experiments with a breadboard would be a much better project, but this could be a good stepping stone to that as well.
By sending a cease and desist letter, wikimedia puts the situation squarely in that discussed by the US district court in the Craigslist v. 3Taps case.[1] In rejecting a motion to dismiss, the court in that case found that the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, which provides criminal and civil penalties for "intentionally access[ing] a computer without authorization or exceed[ing] authorized access" covers accessing a website after being sent a C&D letter by changing IP addresses to evade an IP ban.

While the aforementioned decision was only on a motion to dismiss and in any event was at the trial rather than appellate level, nonetheless if I were wiki-pr's lawyers I'd caution them strongly not to violate the the C&D.

What I'm really looking forward to is better IP management. So far it looks like most cloud servers providers try to ignore the issue, which I'm really disappointed about. It looks like DO's answer to droplet failures is - set up a load balancer. OK, but what happens is that droplet disappears? What protection can I have against going completely offline for the duration of DNS TTL in that case? (And the time of manually changing it)

I see that as an unacceptable risk really - one thing that keeps me from using DO. Other services also lack the reserved IPS sometimes, but some of them at least provide an integrated solution (LBaaS style).

I guess it's just in the name.

If someone said to me "build your own computer kit, for kids!" it would invoke a vision of some sort of breadboard/pre printed circuit board, with modules or blocks that you would slot into places the instructions said and told the child what each bit did, even if it was in fluffy language that a child could at least warm to.

So the CPU would go in one slot, the memory in the other etc.

I know this is EXACTLY how people build gaming PC's right now, but I'm thinking a lot more basic, cheaper and "kid friendly"

I'm not an electrical engineer though so I'm not really sure of the limitations of how this could/probably would not work.
