You will already have this program in your Linux distro since I wrote it about a decade ago and it has been maintained by a small team ever since then. It also handles all the quirks of Excel CSV files and is used extensively in production.
Then put the keys to datacenter-wide root somewhere safe (with a manual-ish process to access and use them), but out of the way and with alarms on it (the same alarms that you'd use in the absolute worst situation possible). Make sure anyone using it will be shamed if they don't absolutely have to.
That makes a lot of sense.

What I was thinking about was just how many times I gave up on an app because it made me "sign up" for something just to create simple documents, play a game (sometimes even ones that should work offline!), or take notes.

But, obviously, in your case it seems having more control clearly outweights these small problem-user cases. ;)

Congrats on shipping, good luck!

EDIT: Also, making syncing optional, as I just read you saying you would, makes this problem go away.
Correct

With AF447 you had the exact position at approximately 10min before the crash (and debris).

For symmetrical ciphers like AES, quantum computers effectively cut the key length in half for brute force attacks. If you used a good key with AES256, you do not need to worry much about quantum computers.
Not even just the plug. I've had outages from bits flipped simply by the static electricity generated when vacuuming near servers.

This happened to me once; I don't know if this works on all linux distros but if you quickly follow a halt/shutdown with a "sudo init 6"(reboot) before your ssh-session gets SIGTERMed/KILLed, the box comes back up. This at least worked on some Ubuntu version a few years back.

Give it a try on some system that's not critically important :)
I've been seeing nephrologists (some of the best in the country) for almost a decade, and none of them has ever been remotely useful in planning out a diet. Neither have the nutritionists they've sent me to. They all know lots about nutrition, but they don't know anything about food. They also get really cagey/evasive when you try to ask for quantifiable guidelines -- like "tell me how many milligrams of potassium to stay under per day".

And don't get me started on hospital food. (Short version: my "renal diet" at Cedars Sinai was just half-portions of the regular diet -- including half a banana, and a 4-oz container of orange juice. No joke.)

Watching serving sizes is the trick, because "suggested" serving sizes are usually totally unrealistic. People will tell you to avoid spinach like the plague because they're used to thinking of it as a crapton of leaves boiled down to a few spoonfuls. But they might make you so paranoid that you avoid a sandwich that has three leaves of fresh spinach on it, despite the fact that there's more potassium in the bread! And conversely, they might not mention potatoes, because the suggested serving size is so small, but you'll get a ton of potassium if you eat a giant plate of french fries (potato skins even more so).

Some things nobody told me:

1) A baked potato has twice as much potassium as a banana.

2) So does an avocado.

3) Some fancy grains, like quinoa, are reasonably high in potassium.

4) Foods claiming to be "a good source of potassium" aren't always the most potassium-rich; that's just marketing, and tells you more about the calories per unit potassium than it does about the potassium per serving.

5) The USDA nutritional database is one of the most useful things our government has ever done: http://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/search/list

"when I got the SSH windows confused"

I've come close to that as well.

This reminds me of the paradox of being competent vs. a beginner.

It also has parallels in a few thing outside computing.

Beginners make different mistakes because they don't know enough to go quickly.

Once you are experienced you fly, similar to the way you drive in a trance without thinking some times.

With power tools I've seen this as well. You tend to take more chances the more experience you have (or even in my case getting cut with an exacto knife). Someone using a saw for the first time is going to go slowly and follow the directions (of course there are other types of safety mistakes they could make for sure..)

While a newbie might do rm -fr directory * instead of rm -fr directory* an experienced user could do that as well [1] simply by going to fast and not thinking "hey I'm doing something dangerous let me slow down and check before I auto hit return".

[1] I typically do

for i in something*
do
echo $i
done

Then if I like what I see I will up arrow and insert "rm -fr $i" after the echo. Or maybe a read x to pause in between.

Avocado the tool is like a real avocado because there's a rich buttery filling over a nut in the center. The nut in the center is Quartz. Quartz is tough nut to crack and so are avocado nuts. But what Avocado the tool does is add a nice buttery layer of patches (like the avocado soft filling) over the tough nut to bring out the goodness. Hence the name Avocado. It's really that simple

"If you were a computer-loving male child who took a lot of shit from your peers, I suspect you heard something similar from the adults in your life. Maybe it was 'Sure, things are bad now, but when you're a little bit older, women will LOVE guys like you!' Or maybe it was 'That kid who makes fun of you now will be working at a gas station when you run a big fancy computer company and marry a supermodel!' If you were once young, nerdy and male, it is not unlikely that your future sense of self-worth was funded with a non-consensual IOU from the world's women."
It seems to me that courts, especially District Courts, want to rule on what you and I would call technicalities. But I think it's a really good thing to have the legal system follow their own damn rules - ignorance of the law is no excuse, as we, the commoners are often informed, and who is in a better position to determine The Law than a District Court Judge?

This does gloss over the issue of courts not wanting to rule on the real issues. In the case of AF Holdings and Prenda Law, their may be no real issues. Those folks seem to be flat out scammers, rather than creators ensuring their scared creations are treated with the respect, consideration and honorariums they deserve.

It would of course be really nice to have courts rule on issues, especially copyright, trademark and patent issues, not to say 4th Amendment issues like warrantless GPS tracking and warrantless wiretapping.
HipChat has a nice API that allows us to shoot notifications from TribeHR, our Linux production boxes, code commits, Salesforce, etc. to our company-wide channels. It's a nice communication tool to use to keep the whole team on the same page.
A similar case happened with the Eve Online cluster (~50,000 concurrent users) a couple of years ago. A programmer, who for some reason had access to the live cluster, confused his local development instance with that of the live cluster and issued a shutdown. Luckily they were able to avert the incoming disaster in time (it was a timed shutdown), but jokes are still made about the mistake.

I wonder how practising Hindus and Buddhists will scale in this kind of a study. I am a practicing Hindu. My family/clan and say some 20-30% of whole population of my country are lacto-vegetarians(no eggs and meat, but will consume milk) for generations. I hope the researcher does a study among that ethnic group too. That will fix this debate for good.
you're probably interested in the downsides of HHVM, not Hack. Hack is really just a PHP frontend built on top of HHVM. HHVM is the JIT.

- it runs really well on expensive, FB hardware. there's no consideration given to anything else (performance-wise) in development. that's not to say it's slow, but it works best on 64GB servers with fat SSDs.

- it's a huge moving target when it comes to php5 compatibility -- there are a few intentional inconsistencies and a lot of unintentional ones. fixes for zend incompatibilities have a whack-a-mole effect: the typical patch fixes one inconsistency and introduces a few more.

- bad documentation and bad code quality

- it is open-source, but only in the most superficial sense. it's really an FB internal project, so good luck making any changes that help you but don't help FB

it's still better than zend PHP, and, to be fair, most of the incompatibilities are in cases where zend behaves stupidly. source: i was an HHVM contributor. (edited to space out my ascii list)
Yeah, a fake "sticky" backend can be really useful in prototyping a frontend.

I built a similar thing to help with that, built on App Engine (which I usually just run locally): https://github.com/ImJasonH/simply-put

It supports GET/POST/DELETE and simple queries.

I ended up having more fun writing the devel backend than whatever it was I was writing :)
That alone would be helpful. Thanks!
HipChat integrates with Jira/Confluence/BitBucket/Bamboo et al. It is the only reason we are using it vs a host of tools sticky taped together with different interfaces.

As your team growths you will see the value in having a single unified set of tools that cover a majority of your needs vs a host of different tools chained together each providing a different experience, education and logins.
NFS is a single point of failure. If something goes wrong on your NFS host, you'll break your entire cluster. That obvious oversight combined with calling it "Dropbox for servers" makes me think that whoever designed this doesn't understand NFS.
Nothing wrong with beans in a low-to-moderate-carb diet; I just wouldn't recommend them to someone on a ketogenic diet. Personally, I get most of my fibre from my bread (there are other similar products out there, but the one I linked basically replaces digestible starch with fibre and resistant starch).

As far as energy levels, I personally feel great, but YMMV I suppose.

Thanks a lot for the positive feedback! This document is actually a slightly expanded version of some notes I emailed a friend a few weeks ago (which got him on LCHF, so it's already made a difference in at least one person's life).

Why do we always always have to respond rationally to a gun violence event, ignoring instincts and emotions to arrive at loosening gun controls? We didn't respond rationally to 9/11, or the Shoe Bomber or Mr Fizzypants the Underwear bomber. We're still suffering from result-free universal surveillance, and insulting and authoritarian airport security.

In short, the propagandists are picking and choosing which tragedies to respond to rationally, and which to respond to with jackbooted authoritarianism. Why?

It's operations. You fuck up, you suck it up, you fix it, then (and this is the important part) you prevent it from ever happening again. Feeling like shit for bringing something down is a good way to give yourself depression, given how often you will screw the pooch with root. In the same vein, anybody who says they'd fire the operator without any qualification on that remark should be given a wide berth.

People tend to forget that "fixing it" isn't just technical, it involves process, too. Every new hire that whines about change control and downtime windows would be the first to suggest them, were they troubleshooting the outage that demonstrated the need.

One of the biggest reasons I think bitcoin has real value is that you are suddenly in complete control of your spending. If I spend 10$ in bitcoins at target and then they get hacked it has no real affect on me. If I swipe my credit card at target and they get hacked then I have been exposed to a great deal of risk.

Not to mention the fact that no third party can be compelled to freeze your account or manipulate it in any way.

Of course all of that falls apart if you trust a third party.
It's not important know, and certainly not important enough to justify discarding half of our profits. It's also very difficult to get anything statistically significant out of the data when there are so few data points (there's probably only about one DropBox per batch).

Btw, if it were truly just a matter of us picking the right companies, that would be even more impressive given that we reject over 97% of applicants :)
That's obviously not the case though, since some of our most successful companies (such as AirBnb) wouldn't exist without YC.
Canola oil does have a decent smoke point, but I'd never recommend it over ghee on LCHF, because ghee has a higher smoke point, better taste, fairly interesting nutritional properties, and more saturated fat.

Yes, i've seen those projects but those are almost new frameworks, libraries, etc. not startup projects per se, i would love to see for example a really good stackoverflow clone, or trello clone or some really exiting webapp for example basecamp etc.
I think you missed my point. In each web page downloaded there's a bunch of (basically constant) static data - to download your javascript files, and set up your document - your template (or similar). This is the only data that single page apps can eliminate - everything else must either be queried from the server or can already be cached.

Some sites obviously inline CSS or JavaScript, but that can be eliminated if necessary (and only affects the first page load anyway).

This information is free to generate on the server side, so it's not slowing down that computation at all (it's just a stringbuilder function, essentially). Furthermore, the transfer time is generally not the deciding factor - it's the server side time to put the rest of the information together.

To give one example, I went to a typical website - the Guardian (it's a fairly standard high-traffic news website). Chrome informs me that in order to request one article, it took 160ms to load the html - 140ms of waiting and 20ms of downloading. Now, the RTT is about 14ms, so that's about 110ms of generating the web page and 20ms of actually downloading it. It's about 30kB of compressed HTML (150kB uncompressed), most of it's 'static content' - inlined CSS and JS.

Them using the single page model would reduce the page download time (apart from the first page) by an absolute maximum of 20ms - which means that the time to load each page has been reduced by about 12%.

This is fine, but almost all of the data is just the result of string concatenations and formatting - i.e. free processing (or at least almost-free processing). It's getting the rest of the data together that's somehow taking the 100ms (or crap implementations).

The cost of moving data around on websites is typically small compared to the actual production time of the content. That's why we see people preferring to inline huge amounts of CSS etc on each web page and having people download it time after time - because it's only about 10kB compressed the data transfer is inconsequential, and normally is dominated by the RTT.

Spending all the time writing these frameworks because of performance benefits is a fallacy - the data still has to be generated somewhere, and if it happens dynamically it's slow as hell. The savings can never become that great - at most they lead to 20-30ms of improvements if bandwidth is acceptable.

Writing the frameworks because they make development easier is a much more reasonable argument.

This still all detracts away from the fact that non-static websites are typically dog slow and they shouldn't be.
