This is what I am hoping too - but derived works are a sticky subject. Imagine a scenario where someone gets of one of these "data vaults" from a large company, then trains a network and throws away the training data. You are still holding the "essence" of their datastore, even without the actual data.

I guess we won't really know until someone goes to court over it.

If you go into this much minute detail (and spend time doing it) to calculate equity, you already have some big problems:

1. Prioritization -- 0.0002% of the company doesn't mean anything if you don't make any money

2. Trust -- you shouldn't need to track the time of co-founders (can't emphasize this one enough)

3. Selfishness -- unless you're building the product or making it substantially cheaper to acquire customers, your time isn't that valuable (in other words, be realistic)

This seems like a tool for people who think they're going to get into Facebook- or Snapchat-sized disputes about tiny percentages of equity. You're not the next Mark Zuckerberg (and that's ok) and you don't need to worry this much about equity. Just build your product and get people to use it. Everything else is secondary.

Notice that the mode indicator is only in the middle, far from the value it's indicating the mode of, but in the cockpit picture in the article ( http://blog.martindoms.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/IMG_82... ), you can see that there are actually two mode indicators, one in the same position as the one in the study and one right above the value where it should be. A quick Google of other cockpit images shows that the plane does have two. I wonder if this was an oversight?
Yes. ARM is shaking in their boots. The Atom will dominate all. It will happen right around the time Slackware destroys Windows 9.
I've used debian for 15 years and I'm looking for a replacement because systemd.

The turning point was systemd breaking a fully functional system and forcing it into recovery mode which was simply broken and going in an infinite loop of displaying it was about to offer a recovery terminal which never came.

Not having log as text and useless info from systemctl and journalctl instead of the useful info I had in traditional logs played a significant part and the attitude and position of the systemd guys too.

This debian forums post sums it all:

From my (relatively short) experience with systemd as init I find that systemd (at least as packed in debian) is really far from being ready. Even the slightest unexpected (to systemd) configuration will make it break from all sides, and even the so-called emergency shell is painfully broken. Together with both the upstream and downstream (debian maintainer) attitude ("this is not a bug, fix your configuration so that it matches our expectations, which by the way change every day and we don't tell you about it" -- i.e. the exact opposite of Linus/kernel's attitude "we don't break userspace").
> I want to be able to failover automatically to another data center when the first one goes down. I have yet to see a straight forward way to accomplish this with PG

From personal experience (also from others: https://github.com/blog/1261-github-availability-this-week), I don't think you want to failover a database automatically.

Of all the issues that could cause a machine to decide that a failover is needed, most of the root causes make a failover actually non desirable (a hardware failure for example (failover is good) is way less likely than non-reachability due to load (failover is disastrous) and unless you are very careful, an automated solution will act the same way in both cases.

Add to that the huge cost of failing back during which time there's no more slave to fail over to: Until 9.4 ist released, failing back requires you to file-system-level copy all the data back to the failed master to bring it back up as a slave.

After 9.4, re-synchronizing an old failed master to the new master will actually be possible in most cases (a mistaken failover is usually covered by these).

In case of an emergency, first make sure that a failover would actually help (if you're down because of high load and a misconfiguration of your system, failing over won't help, but will only make things worse), then fail over manually.

As I said, there are way fewer possible emergencies where failing over would help compared to many, many more where failing over would actually cause more damage.

This is valid for all non master-master database configurations I've had to deal with so far, but, again, it's even more pronounced with postgres because of the very time (and bandwith - which could mean "costly" when you cross the public internet) consuming failback (during which you have nowhere to fail over to again).

If you really, really want to do it, have a look at pgpool (http://www.pgpool.net/) which can automatically fail over to a slave and which also is able to read-load-balance between one or multiple slaves. It's quite the out-of-the-box solution.
Why would I use this? (Not saying I wouldn't, just want to know why you built it and why I should use it instead of an existing service.)

The benefit of Bitly is that users recognize the link. It doesn't make them feel like they're about to get a virus.

Furthermore, Bitly has lots of nice features and actively fights malicious links. So the truth is, users actually can trust Bitly links a bit more than a service that just started up.
Everyone who is typing on a keyboard is using a mode. For instance, my "mode" is the HN comment box. Now of course that's clear to me because I can see the text appearing in the correct place.

As for the airplane example, isn't it quite natural to expect the pilots to have gone through extensive training? I understand consumer websites need to be intuitive, but highly specialized things can't really be intuitive.

One big problem with complex things like a cockpit is that the guys who build it are specialists in a different field from the guys who use it. So how are they going to know if the thing is intuitive? I would imagine a pilot mostly touches the same few commands each day, leaving most modes out of use most of the time. By contrast, the developer needs to build the whole thing.
iPhone 6 and Apple Watch – Your Opinion?
I've seen this discussion come by many times, and every time I had to get my eyebrows back from the back of my head when reading the responses.

I get what the technical differences are between systemd and alternative solutions. That is not the problem. What I don't get is how the init system of anything can evoke such emotions. It all goes way beyond expressing preference. The flamewars and vitriol that have been spread are disgraceful, and people are seriously considering switching to different operating systems because of whatever package runs their daemons and their startup scripts. It's embarrassing.

As a frequent user of Linux, it completely mystifies me how changes in this can cause such emotions. I mean, I'm the kind of guy who did not prefer Fedora for such details as font rendering and certain package policies, so I'm not insensitive to distro differences in general. But I guess I'm ignorant about why so many people seem to cherish such very strong opinions about an init system.

What is it about init systems that causes this outrage? I really want to know!

Yes, it definitely is a tragedy. On the other hand, plenty of soon-to-be-seniors downsize their housing voluntarily before this becomes a problem.

The house you need at 50 when your kids have left is not the house that you needed at 30, it will likely be too big for two anyway.

Traditionally people would move into a place in their mid 20's to early 30's and stay there until they either died or went into care but that is definitely changing.

And property taxes are only a small factor in that, the cost of heating and maintaining (both in money and in labour) as well as walking stairs usually figure in there as well and possibly as larger factors.
Of course systemd works, and works well, it is in RHEL7 and the clones (the 'EL' world), it has to work! And be maintained for 10 years. That 10 year support horizon rolls forwards each release.

At the philosophical level, does anyone not have mild concerns about the binding together of large parts of the underlying systems and the general loss of modularity?

At the coal face do any sysadmins really value the new logging and monitoring tools?

One metric might be the speed adoption of EL7 by those currently using EL6 and EL5. A high speed of adoption means general happiness (or just need for newer packages). A low speed of adoption means unhappiness (or just no pressing need to upgrade).

> What is it about init systems that causes this outrage? I really want to know!

There are some technical concerns, but a disproportionate amount of criticism is because the lead developer[0] of systemd also developed PulseAudio, which was adopted by distros too early and therefore caused a lot of problems for people.

People remember PulseAudio without much fondness, so they are bitter and take it out on systemd.

It doesn't help that he has a somewhat direct manner of communicating, which some people find off-putting.

So, to answer your question, a lot of it is personal, not technical. That's why you see much more vitriol than you'd otherwise expect for a somewhat technically controversial, low-level piece of software.

"Airbus did not anticipate that a pilot would stall a plane and fly it directly into the ocean"

Stalling and flying into the ground have been two common failure modes since flying began and they often happen in sequence. I would think they would be high in the list of misuse cases any aircraft designer would consider.

"we should refrain from being quick to judge which is more or less intuitive."

We should not be quick to judge which UI is more effective, but by definition we can be quick to judge which is more intuitive. In fact, the more time you spend with a system, the less qualified you are to comment on whether it is intuitive. Judging whether a UI is intuitive should take very little time and no expertise past understanding basic operations. I'm certainly not qualified to judge, but I'd think anyone who has experience with modern flight systems would be qualified to comment on whether a particular design was intuitive.
The worst part is that we're failing even on simple things that could reduce light pollution, such as using outdoor fixtures that direct the light only downward.

Really nice implementation.

Couple of comments:

The input box doesn't give visual feedback on text highlight. I was trying a few URLs and it took me a second to realise I had selected the text to overwrite (disappeared on backspace).

The save dialog always presents the filename as slideshare-as-a.gif. Suggest you use the last part of the slideshare link to generate the filename.

Updating the location bar dynamically when adjusting settings as well as using query params is always useful.

Being stuck with a wiki that won't allow linking to slideshare, I can see a real world use for this.

Is there an API available?

Minor points aside, looks and works great.
If Microsoft is trying to build its own Steam competitor (which given Valve's current strategy to make Linux an alternative gaming platform to Windows, makes sense), then Minecraft is the perfect acquisition to start it up, for a number of reasons.

Minecraft is the best selling video game of all time, with over 15 million copies sold for the PC (54 million copies across all platforms), and it has over 100 million accounts registered. It is possibly the only successful indie game that has never integrated with Steam, and that has a very young userbase (based on my experience) which, given their ages, probably isn't part of Steam's userbase. All of these aspects make it a great strategic acquisition if Microsoft wants to make a new and successful game marketplace and platform for Windows.

It's impossible to tell from the examples given in the article, but I wouldn't be surprised if the same classifier that gets 100% on "Blenheim Spaniel" and "Flat-coated Retriever" gets less than 100% on "Dog".

It's a question of how visually coherent the category you're trying to learn is. From a purely visual perspective, the first two categories are relatively tightly bunched in the state space, whereas "dog" covers a diffuse cloud of appearances whose total range might even encompass the area where many non-dog animals also lie. Humans may rely on some additional semantic knowledge about different kinds of animal to produce an accurate classification. It's not entirely unlike how determining the meaning of the words in the phrase "eats shoots and leaves" can't be done reliably without incorporating contextual clues such as whether we were just talking about pandas or a murder in a restaurant.

There may also be issues around how distinct the categories are from each other. A couple years ago yours truly picked up a letter opener off the table and used it to spread butter on his toast, much to the amusement of his hosts.
Well, that certainly goes in the "potential risks" section, but it hasn't happened yet, and it's been five years.

Imagine my users table has a unique constraint on email address. Or my hotel_room_reservations table has to guarantee I never store overlapping reservations for the same room. In either case, on insert and on update, I need to check the new or updated row vs a bunch of other rows.

Those scenarios make horizontal scaling not so simple. Sure, get rid of those constraints, and you can insert as fast as your network can ship the bytes. But that's not a database anymore. That's a glorified flat file.
UI / UX Design Interviews – Ehsan Rahimi -Iran

On the other hand, there are younger people who some of them might ask you that kind of questions as well, but some of them are very up to date. So, to the younger generation I say I design websites and apps, to the others I say my job deals with computer, and they usually don’t follow the question.

>Unfortunately pilots don't have a whole lot of options to exert meaningful pressure on aircraft manufacturers.

If a group of pilots came together to declare an aspect of a plane's functionality as unsafe, wouldn't that send strong signals to the public, governments, ICAO, etc? Even if those signals were ignored initially, they could become more important later if an accident occurred in which the same functionality is (or "was"?) involved. At that time, the media groups, great lovers of scandal and tragedy, would come out and say, "Functionality X contributed to the accident. These pilots warned about the dangers of functionality X back in year Y, and everyone ignored them." After that, the pilots' opinions might be more heavily considered.
Both chicken and egg at the same time. Evolution's going to favor the solution that involves the least costly adaptations. That probably means simpler markings will be favored because it's less costly for the prey species to evolve them and it's less costly for the predator species to evolve an instinct to avoid them.

I left Canada in 2008, and I don't remember chip & pin being prevalent as it is now, so it's not quite as "long ago" as you are implying.

But... you might have issues carrying just a credit card. Many places only accept debit due to there being smaller merchant fees and there are still many cash-only places (in Toronto at least).

And seriously? When I end up with cash / change in my pockets I end up using it. Your comments about "OMG! What do I do with physical money?! It's sooooo useless" are a bit hyperbolic.

Proper version control strategies have been employed by larger projects and more established mod authors for quite a while now. See Pahimar, Forestry, MinecraftForge, Sponge, Bukkit (now DMCA'd) on Github.

Minecraft is probably attracting tens of new people to Java and game modding every day. Backgrounds vary all over the place. Not everyone knows the best practices well enough to just go out and start on them.

This leads to the scenarios described around here about poor mod management in 2014. The 'state of the art' definitely has changed, but it's not a structured community so the outside view still looks similar to 3 years ago.
