A side note on the anthem: The lyrics started as a poem written by Francis Scott Key after watching a battle in the War of 1812. Americans don't like to talk about the War of 1812 because we got our asses whooped by a handful of Canadians. The story of the music is even weirder: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Star-Spangled_Banner#Early...
There are situations in which technology changes things and the law has adapted (e.g. using an infrared camera to look into a house from a public location is a 4th amendment violation), but this is not one of those situations. At least when it comes to call metadata, technology really has nothing to do with it. Whether AT&T records it on magnetic tape or quantum bits, it's still their records, generated by their equipment, kept for their purposes, that you never have access to. These characteristics aren't an artifact of the technology, they're reflective of the fundamental nature of the information in question: it's AT&T's information about you, not your information.
I consider disabling the revisiond process a “hack“ and not really an option, as users may rely on this OS X feature. The daemon might also get re-enabled by an OS X update anytime.

This leaves you with the option to disable the core.trustctime setting, which I believe has no noticeable performance drawback for most or maybe all Git users.

If you are sensitive about the performance, perhaps a third option would be to make an alias for affected commands, especially for rebase:

_rebase = "-c core.trustctime=false rebase"
Have you tried turning on power of 2 allocation?
In general, it makes compaction much less important.
Though online compaction is definitely needed.
I'm kind of amazed at the SLOC, ~600 lines for the whole thing. Flask is much bigger and depends on Werkzeug (~20K?), heck even Bottle doesn't come in under 1,000 lines. That is incredibly attractive.
Plausibly. She doesn't individually have much power without cooperation from others, who could potentially stop cooperating, though. That is likely a better use of resources than railing against her individually.
Quick update: until we figure out what broke the build on our ReadTheDocs.org setup, we switched the default branch to master. So if you visit http://docs.docker.io you will get the bleeding edge build of the documentation, which happens to be accurate since we released it this morning :)

Sorry about that. One more lesson learned on our quest to ultimate quality!

I just bought a G2, which looks like the Nexus 5's older brother. Battery life is amazingly excellent: it's not uncommon for me to go to sleep with 45-50% remaining.

The number one reason I didn't buy an N5 was the 2300mAh battery, versus the G2's 3000. I think it was the right choice.

Is there an algorithm which measures negativity in a given text? Considering the level of grammatical errors and sarcasm involved, one would need a really complicated system, I'd bet.

What I would like to see is Windows-like or Mac-like Linux environment or distribution. Not everyone wants and needs to know computer and it's OS inside out, and those people have no place in Linux world, only Windows and Mac. You do need to carry knowledge and unnecessary labor that needs to be done and unwanted information that needs to be absorbed in order to work with Linux is inadequate and unacceptable.

AFAIK it used to work back in the days of Google Docs, and only broke with Drive. So not 5 years, but maybe 2. And yes, it's a massive pain at least for our workflow. At least a couple of times a month somebody forgets to drag a new document into a shared folder, and are blissfully ignorant that nobody else can find it.
I'm not sure what the basis for that statement is. You need to have a "Microsoft account" (which used to be Windows Live ID). I'm sure that can also be used to login to their web mail platform, but that seems pretty much the same as Google or Apple or any other provider that uses a unified ID.

I mean, here's the signup page, which pretty clearly lets you provide your own email address or choose to use a new Microsoft one:

Is there any definitive way to tell if a transaction is someone exchanging USD <-> bitcoin on an exchange versus actual trade? I remain unconvinced that actual trade with bitcoin is growing at an appreciable rate with the current volatility and deflation.
Are there any technical details as to how this is going to be achieved yet? Things like pirate bay are supposed to be blocked by ISPs but you can access it just fine if you're using Google DNS.
Really? Do you have any examples I can point my browser at? My experience is that, yes, they're implemented in CSS, but triggered by javascript.

Occasionally, I have to inspect the page and add a "display:none;" Alternatively, if a site is totally broken without javascript and I don't want to add an exception for it, I'll open it in another browser.

This method is a bit of a pain, but it's the lesser of two evils (for me).
For what it is worth, I would think people actually try different things in the existing setup before they decide on doing a switch like this. It is not easy to pull off at all. My guess would be that if you have way more Postgres knowledge in the house, then it is more sensible to run Postgres.

This also drives the amount of administrative overhead needed.
Bitcoin to host its own Black Friday
>"Introvert and extrovert are outdated terms as meaningless as Freudian oral and anal types"

That's not completely true. For one thing, there are a lot of studies that have found correlations between introversion/extroversion (especially as defined by the Big 5 personality model) and behavior. That alone says that the term is not "meaningless." Just check any research journal for the keywords "introvert OR extrover big 5."

Here's what seems to be happening: The tests are measuring attributes that tend to go together, but do not always go together. Either you are typically outspoken in large groups you don't know well, or your are typically reserved in such groups. That's one attribute. Either you are typically drained by social interaction, or it typically invigorates you. That's another. These two attributes are correlated closely enough that research finds results, but there are probably exceptions.

Personality researchers will be the first to admit that personality is complex. One of the problems in research is that the more complex your model becomes, the harder it is to test and validate. We continue to use overly-simplistic models because they are validated by research that tells us we're measuring something; no one is claiming we're measuring it completely or perfectly.

I also happen to think the author's model is overly-simplistic, but that he's correctly identified the problem.

"Previously, there had to be some sharing because elites still had to rely on other humans for policing and military. However, it seems like robots might cut that connection."

You're right. Out of sight, out of mind. Or probably it would be a sentiment similar with how the African subsistence is thought about. There is some sympathy involved, maybe some occasional donation even, but how much and how often the problem actually falls on one's agenda?
Ah well, my primary personal email address is still at my ISP, which, in addition to telling you my location (and the least horrible option here), tells you that I've had it since the time it was normal for ISPs to provide email (and Usenet, and a couple megabytes web space).

My previous email address contained at least one ‘!’, which, if you recognize it, tells you that we should meet up on my front porch to tell the damn kids to get off our lawns.

I'm slowly moving to a personal domain, which says some more.

The ‘big guys’ I use only for forum registrations, shopping, and similar throwaways.
Physical wallets can also be created out of thin air. I'm not a forensic accountant, so detailing precisely how is not in my area of expertise, but we successfully prosecute people for laundering cash, and bitcoin only has more information, more accessible than cash. I am not saying it can be done with just the block chain, but the block chain is a piece of evidence that is far more easily accessible than a criminal enterprises' individual ledgers.
We used to make PODs like this at work for netbackup storage.. started with WD drives ~128 WD drives, at about two years we were at ~8 WD drives still working. At least once a week we had people in there swapping drives. I have yet to see a WD not fail.
It depends on how you get poisoned, but unless you suffer straight up burned to death (i.e. nuclear bomb), it seems that most of them result in slow deaths.
You have a point, no pun intended. Focusing on serving up tidy endpoints does away with a lot of complexity (I call shenanigans on the performance argument, especially if you're using Go and not Python/Ruby) - the only unsolved technical debt with this approach would be making GoogleBot happy. If you don't need to care about making crawlers happy this can be great...

On the other hand, the complexity you're punting on needs to go somewhere, so now you'll need to muck about with something like Angular to make up for it. Difficult choices. It kind of continuously feels like we're on the edge of Nirvana with this stuff and something perfect in its elegance will emerge. I'm only 24 but this seems like a dangerous siren song to me... maybe we should all know better by this point, eh?
society at-large is not informed enough to make these decisions

So we're smart enough to vote for our overlords and trust that they'll put in FDA bureaucrats who have our best interests at heart and will watch out for us -- but we're not smart enough to receive information on the genes in our bodies. Besides the lack of logic in such a system of decisionmaking... besides the lack of freedom of such a system of information control... the system you seem to want is a self-fulfilling prophecy in that the more people are shielded from the black art of medicine, the more that ignorance will grow as information sources are kept from the masses.

What makes 23andme different from all of the other medical tests and technology out there

As stated in technical parameters: the water pump output is 30-1500 liters/hour, it means max 0.4 liter per second. Assuming it raises the temperature of water by 40 degrees K, the energy output per second is 4200J/kgK 0.5kg * 40K = 84000 Joules/sec = 84 kW. Assuming it draws 167kW, it's much worse than any electric water heater.
A theory, no matter how well defined, will never, ever, precisely match reality.

Nope. This website is filled with people who bemoan their loss in faith the teh google. They've supplanted their hopes and dreams in government with corporations, and some are now disappointed.

But then those people don't need the encouragement, do they?

I should have slid in the word 'significantly' like I did in the previous sentence.

You're willing to take significantly more risk that a routine drug prescription harms/kills you in order to streamline the process for drug companies? (Note that there already is a process in place for those with advanced diseases that justify a high-risk drug to take experimental drugs with knowledge of the risks).
Hmm, not sure I'm understanding #1 correct. Can I install it on, let's say, Debian without Vagrant/Virtualbox now?

I can't find the info in the docs.
> Seriously, another case of using Mongo incorrectly?

If a large proportion of MongoDB users are using it incorrectly, then I'd argue that it is a MongoDB problem, if only a documentation and messaging one. Clarity on what is and is not an appropriate use should be prominent.

So, what is this proportion?
Yes, but the post above was saying that the English electorate is particularly docile to surveillance - I have seen nothing to indicate there is a difference between the Scottish and English in that respect. Where are the protests in Edinburgh and Glasgow indicating this upswell of opposition? I'd definitely be glad to see them.

It's possible that the SNP have different attitudes, which they would bring with them into independence, but they have not taken a public stand on the issue, and of course they have no track record either way because the devolved government does not have power in that area.

In regards to this post, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6791742, I am wondering if someone knows of articles that provide a similar type of system, but in the context of playing piano. Both piano and chess are highly intellectual activities, and help build neurons which in turn make us better programmers since we are able to think in new ways.

Last time I checked, ISP does not equal e-mail domain. If I recall correctly, ISP has a specific meaning: "Internet Service Provider."

For example, AOL and Comcast are ISPs, but gmail, hotmail and yahoo are not.

Maybe you receive an allocation of e-mail addresses when you sign up for internet service, but that doesn't mean that the domain of the e-mail address represents internet service.

I think what we're seeing here is that the higher age of comcast users is an expression of the fact that those are the people who own the homes (have their name on the mortgage and deed of the property) or sign the lease and pay the rent, and thus also are more likely to pay the broadband bills, and are more likely to use the ISP e-mail address, since they're the ones looking at the features their ISP provides as part of the internet package they sign up for.

Meanwhile, the kids don't pay the bills, and are probably suspicious about whether their parents can call the ISP and demand the password, to snoop on their mail, and thus tend to avoid the ISP domains.
Both have unfortunate consequences. Surely the best thing would be to ask Apple to add an API to allow disabling revisiond for some directory, which the OSX port could use?
I think I have run into this with Keynote (esp. the latest version). I had some notes on dealing with rebase/merges conflicts here http://www.win-vector.com/blog/2013/10/resolving-git-pseudo-... , but this is another wrinkle.
Interesting side note on "fitness versus intelligence": hasn't it been shown repeatedly that exercise helps you think more clearly and remain more relaxed and focused? I know it does for me, and one of the biggest things I can recommend to anyone (but especially the scrawny nerds) is to exercise. It doesn't have to be an IronMan triathlon, but thirty minutes every day can help wake you up and make you much more productive.
It is a nice wording, but in reality people who have it without knowing they have it are really miserable and unhappy ones.

Usually people have no idea, and actively reject any possibility that something is wrong with them, instead of with the world.

Asperger's could be treated by CBTs, which any professional western psychologist (or eastern teacher) will tell you. Usually, you is the only one who could help you, especially in ignorant, third-world country.

This just makes me wonder why they chose Mongo in the first place. It sounds like they didn't really consider their needs when initially choosing databases. Mongo has some benefits that when properly implemented far outweigh the negatives. At the same time, it's still relatively young, and doesn't have the "maturity of process" that makes older SQL engines so easy to manage/implement. Eventually, I'm sure, Mongo will solve these issues and be a great database for those who need to utilize its many virtues.
The standard filesystem in Mac OS X isn't POSIX compliant and hasn't ever been (HFS+ isn't, UFS is). If you're concerned about filesystem operations working as intended in code written for things that are POSIX compliant (like Git is) don't use it.
