My layman's understanding: under Linux the ARC is not integrated into the usual Linux caches which are unified and which the kernel understands. So basically the ZFS ARC is a separate chunk of RAM, which can grow and grow (thus you need to limit it) and it won't be evicted as perfectly as the kernel would evict stuff cached on xfs or ext4 filesystem.

I'd be shocked if this even came close to passing. NSA is directly and indirectly easily the largest employer in the state of Maryland and on top of that they fund probably at least several research labs and other research and education initiatives at multiple universities in the state. Voting for this would probably be political suicide for any politician frankly I'm surprised any of them even had the cojones to introduce the bill.

The author missed one: Wordstar

See pg. 39 of this .pdf file http://bitsavers.trailing-edge.com/pdf/microPro/Wordstar_3.3...

"X" is used as the "exit wordstar" command menu option.

This was WordStar 3.3, in 1983. WordStar existed for far earlier than 1983, and likely always used "X" as the "exit wordstar" command.
Nope, it's real: https://twitter.com/eugeneross/status/433047716374253568
But why would you want it to? It's likely to wind up being a leaky abstraction at best, assuming it survives that long, which is far from certain given Google's track record. If you want to be bleeding edge with web components, I would have thought experimenting with Polymer would be more interesting and give an easier transition to native features as they become available. If you want a more production-ready component-style framework today, why not use React instead of Angular?
I'm a fool and this should be taken as self expression. Don't take this as me hating on anyone. I'm an idiot for posting this.
~ I got 2nd place in a C++ programming competition for "designing" a storefront. I'm in a state of sorrow and bewilderment because the winner used [Visual Studio / Eclipse / Sublime / Fancy Pants Keyboard / monitor / hands...].

Forgive me for not wading through the post. Was this a competition for visual design or writing HTML by hand? If the winner had used Front Page or some such, well, then this post might make sense.
Not exactly what you asked, but are you subscribed to patio11 mailing list? https://training.kalzumeus.com/

One example that may be useful for you: https://training.kalzumeus.com/newsletters/archive/consultin...
I used Dreamweaver for my web design class in high school. While back then it was slow and clunky, it worked well enough and already had somewhat working WYSIWYG editor. I used it to generate basic design and then would edit HTML file by hand to achieve desired result (such as rollover images).

I have fond memories of Dreamweaver, but I have not used it since. Bottom point it is idea and content that makes a website, not tools you use to get there.
You missed the word "invisibly"-- they can join/watch without showing up in the Cryptocat client as being present.
The essay is riddled with mispellings and tense shifts, it is horribly arrogant, and it doesn't really serve any purpose other than to whine about this guy's failure.

Like another poster said, the kid will regret it later in life.

Please don't comment anymore, you'll only embarass him.
Okay folks, here's what I want to know:

The US, by law, is supposed to treat all people the same regardless of nationality. In a court of law, for example, illegal immigrants get the same rights as full citizens.

So far so good, right?

Well guess what? That means that in situations wherein it's legal for the military to kill a foreigner, it's legal for the military to kill a citizen as well. Equality works both ways. If an American citizen is engaged in terrorist/hostile military activity outside of US legal jurisdiction, then the military has just as much legal authority to kill that citizen as they'd have to kill any non-citizen.

Tell my why I'm wrong.
Some people have more money than sense, and ayy feel that FB is historic enough that it's worth paying a load of money for a phone that has it. Apparently someone has already paid $10k for one...possibly in the belief that it'll be worth more in the future, but more likely shill buying between people and their friends in an attempt to drive up the price. People who are already renting ebay stores may consider the sales commission a worthwile advertising price to attract foolsih buyers. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_sacat=0&_from=R40&_nkw=flapp...

When I see this sort of thing I think back to the Beanie Baby craze of the 90s; I worked just up the street from a store in SF's financial district and when a new toy was coming out there would be a long line of financial industry types standing outside from the small hours of the morning to buy a small stuffed animal in the apparent belief that it was a hot new asset class. They're still traded and collected (isn't everything?) but for tens or low hundreds of dollars rather than the thousands that people were anticipating.
There's this https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html.en which is pretty turn-key.
I think you're being obtuse.

Once you start sending emails for things, you start sending emails for everything. It's easy to fall into the trap of not accurately categorizing what is critical (like real, real, critical, I mean it this time guys!) and what are merely statuses. So what happens is everything starts being ignored, and your systems become obscure black boxes again.
Given that this is Comedy Central (owned by Viacom), I'd imagine the idea was run past Starbucks' legal department before it was greenlit. I'd also wager there's a legal agreement governing what CC can and can't do, and even how Starbucks will or won't react.
it's still very good thank you!
First of all, I apologise in advance if this comment does not actually apply to you. Obviously I don't know what you were really thinking, but I see a lot of comments here with the form: xyz seems genuinely interesting, please elaborate.
I often surmise that the poster really disagrees and just intends to set up a line of attack using a disingenuous first approach. Especially where, as in this case, the parent seems unreasoning. Whether or not that was your intent, at least some people might read comments of this form as being disingenuous.
Never heard of him, but what a dumb stunt. Ooh, so artistic. Edgy. Anti-establishment. Ooh.
The author is still in high school and shouldn't be pretending he has any authority on anything at all at this stage of his life. Especially if he can't prove it.
As someone who has been in this situation, I can attest the only difference between the two situations is that if you go to a lawyer your mom doesn't get all treatments in the meantime.

Fortunately for me, the people at Mayo Clinic are amazing and gave treatment they knew we couldn't even start to dream to pay for. Not everyone is so lucky.

Ended up dropping the whole thing though. And lawyer said it was slam dunk malpractice, but reality bites and it's amazing what hospitals can do.
CIA runs covert ops to kill terrorists by both CIA operatives and by drones
Eh, Coindesk found that 70% of users polled were unable to pull money out of MtGox. Even if that number were half the real rate, that's still absurd.
4chan "trafficking in illegal content"? I don't think that's a fair assessment. They specifically censor much less than most website operators but they aren't "trafficking" any more than highway underpasses "traffic" in illegal graffiti.
The CIA made-up companies and moved into office space just before hiring me for 6-years Ticketmaster, 2-years Xytec and 1-year Graphic Technologies. My world is as silly as the Truman Show, but with torture. I never had a bad review. I quit all my jobs. I have never collected a day of unemployment.
The article claims that when you look for specific loans, you're being fooled: the loans have already been made, and the interest rates listed are inaccurate. Quote:

Kiva’s initial attraction was that it was a peer-to-peer lender, but it is not in fact a peer-to-peer at all. The loans featured on the website were made months before, and Kiva users are essentially buying them from the banks. But the deception does not end here. Kiva cleverly chooses to reveal out-of date portfolio yields instead of actual interest rates on loans, conveniently and consistently under-estimating the real cost to the poor.

When speaking in terms of "the average producer", are you talking about authors specifically, or publishers? My guess would be that the average age of published and active writers skews higher than 20s, and maybe even above the 30s. So it would put most writers in line with publishers who are used to dealing with B&N as a distributor.

I haven't noticed a difference in variety. I can't really recall a situation where there was something available on Amazon that was not also available on B&N. The exception could be for self-published authors who have foregone options to make their books available elsewhere. (I just looked up one self-published author I know of and it was available for the same price on B&N.)

It might be an age thing where younger people, who are more likely to self-publish, coming up will probably not strongly associate B&N with books. Borders(RIP) and B&N are older national chains.

But my own bias pushed me toward getting a Nook. I have a slight distrust for Amazon's platform being less open, and Amazon becoming too powerful because they're so good at what they do. I think consumers , writers, publishers, and even the economy are better off if there is more competition. (Not that Nook is overwhelmingly superior when it comes to being open since I ended up rooting mine.)
the hint about homogenous culture building sounds like a codified - if they dont look , talk , dress and act like you dont hire them.
"Let’s start with the lost money – $70k. Whether you’re a big business or startup like us, that’s a lot of cash burned on people who added little to no value to your goals."

70k / 6 employees < 12k / employee.

That's a lot of money? That really doesn't seem like that much money, especially if the vetting paradigm allowed the other 13 employees to bring vastly more than that lost 12k / employee to the table.
Wow. I couldn't even imagine the pain it would be to work with someone like this.
Glad I had a little to give too...
The microwave trick not only tastes bad, but it also doesn't heat evenly as you get patches of boiling water and patches of cold water.

Modern kettles boil in about 2 minutes anyway. So I don't really see them as any more inconvenient than using the microwave. The real inconvenience is having to get up to switch the device on; what I really want is a networked kettle so I can boil it from the comfort of my seat hehe
:-(. i have seen a loved one go through this, my best wishes to you and family.
I agree with everything you wrote. Again, however, I think we're talking past one another. When you talk about clipping, you seem to mean turning up the volume until a signal clips. This both amplifies the signal and clips off its extremes. What I mean by clipping is to take a signal and clip off its extremes.

That sole difference explains our entire conversation. In your view, clipping involves making the signal bigger. That bigger signals carry more energy naturally leads to your claim. In my view, clipping a signal makes it smaller, leading to the opposite claim.

Thanks for sticking with me through the conversation.

MBox – file formats used for holding collections of electronic mail messages
I'm in a similar boat. For Javascript, I found http://www.amazon.com/JavaScript-Definitive-Guide-Activate-G... to be a good place if you have little to no familiarity of Javascript. For Node, I'm using the links suggested here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2353818/how-do-i-get-star....

For Angular, I've just followed the documentation on angularjs.org and tried applying it to various web projects that I have already.

I feel that there are a lot more projects in pure JS compared to CoffeeScript that even if you did learn CoffeeScript, you can't avoid encountering pure JS.
This is addressed in the paper. Performance overhead is in the ballpark of 10-20%. They are able to improve on the performance of a purely ptrace-based sandbox by using seccomp to ensure that only the syscalls that need to be intercepted are sent to ptrace.

The benefit mbox has over unshare+aufs is that mbox doesn't require root privileges.
Is there an economic incentive for DDoS attacks? Or is it just some bored script kiddie with nothing better to do?

Yeah feel the vibes and listen to your gut. Bad Hires aren't about performance or what they do wrong, it's about meshing and fitting in. Because if the boss doesn't get good warm and fuzzy feelings when you walk by, clearly 100% of your salary is being wasted.
There's not a lot of self-reflection in this analysis.
Agree, the ego and hipstership of that comment was way off limits, to be serious. I would like to think that he is just trolling with us to keep it more ralistic.
I'd love to see the community educated in more appropriate behavior overall. I'd also love to not be treated like someone that a code of conduct needs to rescue society from.
I think any setup which requires the website to respond to requests intended to verify its own authenticity will probably not work. Any verification requests could be passed upstream to a separate running application in order to calculate a valid response. This response would then be passed back to the client. All other requests and code paths would still potentially go through a modified or malicious variant.
I found college completely crushing, especially because I'd built up wild hopes for it as an escape from my unhappy childhood. I don't have any easy answers, but here's some of the tools that helped me:

- Exercise. I know, it sounds dumb, especially when you're depressed and have no energy, but it's an incredibly effective way of hacking your brain chemistry. Run, swim, bike, hike, just pick one and pour all your frustration, anger, and sadness into it.

- Get a hobby. I spent a lot of time worrying about being interesting to others, which guaranteed I wouldn't be. Being interesting is a many-body problem with lots of unknowns, but being interested is way more solvable. You can figure out what you like a lot more easily than you can guess what might make other people like you. Don't rule something out because it seems dorky, I guarantee you'll find other people who enjoy it too, even if it's Lego or collecting old maps. It's surprisingly hard to understand what you actually want though, especially if you've been focused on what other people think.

- Beware of magical transformations. I got married at 19, driven by an overwhelming desire to completely change my life to find happiness. It didn't work. I also took a lot of drugs. That didn't work either. I saw people get pulled into cult-like religions or extreme political groups. Drastic exterior changes don't alter who you are, you'll still have the same problems, no matter what anyone tells you. Focus on boring incremental improvements, like exercise and hobbies. I hated that idea, because I was in love with my life being dramatic and the basic stuff seemed so mundane, but it's what ended up making a lasting difference.

I doubt I'd have even listened to my present-day self when I was 19, but I hope there's something in there that helps you. Life really does get better.

You'd think there would be a description of what was actually "bad" about these hires, beyond "you get this uncomfortable feeling" and they "simply don’t mesh".

A interpretation is that the criteria they're using to hire, includes a large amount of personality-matching based on their description, could be drawing from a pool stocked more with winning personalities than with competent developers.
You come off as extremely pretentious and arrogant in this blog post. HN is normally quite supportive of younger developers, but if they act and present themselves in the manner you do then can't expect anyone's opinion of you to do anything but plummet.

The design I have seen on your porfolio at http://5lin.es/portfolio/ is kinda ok but very samey and in no way entitles you to feel as though you are better than anybody else, particularly other highschool students who will have basic experience at most.

He didn't completely ignore the claims. As he mentioned, the targeting specs may have been too broad.

It's easy argue against the value of something so easily faked as a like, but we shouldn't forget that Facebook is also a large platform for promotional advertising, where "like-gated" promotions are designed primarily to collect users' email addresses.

Numerous people have posted information with sources that directly conflicts with most of your opinions, while you ride on this apparent "4+ years ago some dude maybe reused some source" for whatever that's even supposed to mean.

MtGox has more traffic than HN, survived immense press and growth over the last couple years as bitcoin rose into mainstream popularity, and did so as a market leader for most of that time. That alone should tell you very little if any source remains, it's not like that dude's beta that apparently never even launched was likely to just scale through several orders of magnitude more traffic and solve every problem and new or different need along the way.

Fantasy sounds like exactly the right term. Unless you have any proof. Do you?
Read any history text on the American Revolution to see why that's a bad policy.

The opposite policy is interesting though, following from "all men are created equal", we won't kill American citizens without due process or cause therefore we shouldn't kill any person of any nation without due process or cause.

Ok, so I'm going to have to disagree here about solving a problem that doesn't exist.

There are a number of problems with the standard ballpoint and fountain tip pens:

* They can ruin a pair of pants (or the inside of a purse). This is especially a problem with the "clicky" pens, as an accidental activation means that anything the tip touches gets a constant flow of ink.

* There are a number of situations where they do not write well, or reliably (and not just gimmicky answers like "in space").

* They do run out of ink; I have had several pens run out. This is not because I'm supernaturally good at holding on to things, but because I do a reasonable amount of hand writing.

I'm not saying the solution is necessarily a gazillion-dollar writing instrument / fashion accessory, but just like fancy features start out in the Mercedes S-class and then make their way to cars mere mortals might own, hopefully if this technology is truly viable we'll be finding it on drugstore shelves a decade or so hence.
