Expect everything bounces around, so it's like trying to decipher TV by watching the flickering on the wall. :) Actually, MIMO makes use of this (it works better in 'bouncy' non-line-of-sight multipath environments). By just a small antenna separation, the spatial channel characteristics can vary a lot as the signals might take a completely different paths, and the receiver is able to separate them from each other.
I understand your position however I am ultimately against assisted suicide and euthanasia. Suffering and hardship are not bad things. They are means to a greater end, a crucial part of the human journey. Anyone who tries to eliminate suffering by killing "sufferers" is establishing a horrific trend.
"The article mentions "long-range planning" as an aspect of intelligence."

But our intelligence is dominated by the unpredictability of the world, including the six billion other approximately-equally-intelligent beings taking an active interest in affairs. The "time value of money" isn't just an economic concept, it's a fundamental truth that the further in the future you look, the less you can predict it, exponentially, and frankly disturbingly quickly.

We do not know what the future will hold, and anyone trying to plan 50 years in advance will be laughed at by those 50 years in the future. That includes you, that includes me, and I say that without any regard to the IQ either of us has, collectively or separately. We do not know, and the only thing I guarantee is that any plans you make will be laughably wrong.

But before you think this is just defeatism, remember, I said that we can try to do our best today. We should do what we can based on the problems we see today... not just because they will compound tomorrow, but because they are problems today.

However, claimed plans justified by any vague handwavings more than a decade or so into the future should simply be discounted.

Heck, step back a mere 17 years and read about "the end of history". Sure hope you're not still following any plans based on how that worked out.

Despite using several of the products they make videos about, I'd never seen any of their work. Even if I had, I'd be likely to go months or years before seeing another video made by them, so I probably wouldn't connect the two incidents.

I suspect the vast majority of viewers are in the same boat, especially if your product's audience isn't startups.
> Disclaimer—I don't myself drive a car, but I often observe people driving. I've observed both experienced drivers who drive frequently and more beginning drivers, the pattern described under (2) is the same.

When you're driving without distractions, sure, your mind wanders. You're thinking about a date tonight, or that jerk at work, or whatever. But as soon as your eyes pick up something of interest, like an exit sign, another driver, or a bad situation up ahead, you can immediately focus exclusively on the road. You can do this pretty quickly

Similarly, when you're carrying on a conversation with someone, the other person will generally quiet down as soon as the situation changes.

When you're on a cell phone, that changes. You're paying much, much more attention to a cell phone conversation than you are to someone sitting next to you because you have to listen harder. Not only that, the conversation is independent of the driving situation. Most people will not tell the guy on the phone with them to shut up; they'll just try to carry on the conversation. Even worse, a lot of people aren't paying enough attention to the road to realize that the situation requires more attention and that they need to put down the phone. This causes accidents.

Finally, texting is the worst - you're literally taking your eyes off the road to send a message.
Thank you. I'm looking into it now.

> Why is it immature to see people preach one way, behave a separate way, and conclude they're full of shit?

It's not. Concluding that people are unreasonable and summarily dismissing what they preach is what seems immature. One might instead realize that a church and its religion are related but distinct... that although people may not perfectly embody what they preach, the beliefs themselves may be virtuous.
> I'm only creating /tempdir/$inodenumber if the hard-link count is >1

Which (again) is always, in the case of the OP.

> and once the destination hard-link count reaches the same count as the source it gets moved

Yes I've thought of that optimization; I haven't checked whether cp does it already, might well be.

Thing is the OP said he's got an nlinks of about 20. This means, if they are evenly spread out over the file system, that you see the last link when you're about 95% through. That won't help much.

> If I'm reading it right it requires doing a sort of the full file list.

Correct.

> This means you need to use enough space to list all the files and their inode number even if there are no hardlinks.

My algorithm works with the nlink==1 optimization just as well: just don't put those files into the file list that needs to be sorted, instead copy them immediately or put them into a list that doesn't need sorting.

And, the whole point of using the sort approach is not to make the list or index smaller (that's simply not possible). The point is that it works with lower RAM requirements. Because sorting works well with serial access and little random access, using a list much bigger than RAM works well.

PS. I wonder how much smaller the table gets when you always have nlinks==2 (the best case for the "done with the inode" optimization). The size of the table will follow some curve over the duration of the program; I'm not sure what it is exactly, perhaps a sine half wave? I expect the max of the curve to be about half way of the max of the unoptimized variant.

Is it a pity to lose the possibility for that optimization by using my algorithm? Disk space is cheaper than RAM. Dropping most of the RAM usage and instead using twice as much in the form of disk still seems worthwhile.

The "done with the inode" optimization will work better if hard linked paths appear close to each other. So perhaps sometimes still useful. It should be possible to come up with a hybrid: go with the hash table until it reaches a certain size; then convert the hash table into the start of the list, and continue by appending to the list. I'm not sure this is worth the more complex programming, though. If it looks nice just to avoid creation of a temp file in the common case, then a less complex alternative may be to store the list in the heap until a certain size (only then dump to file), otherwise still use my algorithm. That way swapping will behave nicer, too, in case part of the cp heap needs to be swapped out because of other system activity.

PPS. note that we're assuming that all the hard links are within the source tree that's being copied. If the files also have a path outside the source path, then the optimization won't work as you never reach zero.
I think abstrakraft's comment may partially be a reaction to the informal "fast and loose" style of your article. That said, I think there are also quite a number of factual inaccuracies. I won't go into all of them, but will comment on one paragraph from the article.

"(There's another concept called "antenna efficiency" which basically says you can adjust your scoop to resonate at a particular frequency, rejecting noise outside that frequency. That definitely works - but all antennas are already designed for this. That's why you get different antennas for different frequency ranges. Nowadays, the only thing you can do by changing your antenna size is to screw up the efficiency. You won't be improving it any further. So let's ignore antenna efficiency. You need a good quality antenna, but there is not really such a thing as a "better" quality antenna these days, at least for wifi.)"

Here you are conflating the issues of bandwidth and efficiency. Efficiency is how much RF power is lost to dissipative mechanisms in the antenna compared to how much is actually radiated. What you go on to describe is the bandwidth of the antenna. Your explanation that the bandwidth of the antenna is somehow chosen to reject noise for the receiver also demonstrates a misunderstanding of how all modern receiver architectures work. The noise bandwidth is either set by an IF filter in a super heterodyne receiver, or in the case of a synchronous digital receiver, in the matched filters. Antenna bandwidth may occasionally be chosen to reject interferes, but this is a different concept entirely. I suspect in consumer wi-fi antennas, if bandwidth is designed at all beyond "enough" it would be to maximize impedance bandwidth to allow for loading. It is also patently incorrect to say that "the only thing you can do by changing your antenna size is to screw up the efficiency". Larger antenna apertures provide more focusing, and therefore more directivity, and for a given efficiency more gain. Considering an array of antennas as a single antenna is one example of this. Another would be dish or horn type antennas which can be made with larger and larger apertures for more and more gain.

There are other issues throughout the article, but it's really not my intention to go line by line. It's also not my intention to discourage you from investigating this stuff further. I'm a practicing electrical engineer, and I feel every day all I learn is how much more I have yet to learn. Suffice it to say many of these concepts are very nuanced and complex (more so than your article reflects), so I applaud you for trying to figure this out on your own. Just don't think it will be nearly as simple as learning a new programming language. A couple basic things I would recommend you look up: the difference between directivity and gain, and the difference between coherent vs non-coherent combination. If you can, find someone who really, really knows this stuff to bounce your thoughts off of. Best of luck!
Me and a friend did this as a joke for a few days. I had never heard of the Leeds 13 trip.

"Thiel expressed concern that the company would attract people with a nonprofit attitude, who felt that “it’s not about making money, we’re doing something good, so we don’t have to work as hard."

Doing something good has more value than money, as you long as you're paid enough to get by.
Charlie Kelly doesn't get enough credit for the mountain bike. It was Gary Fisher and Charlie Kelly who started
a company in order to build mountian bikes.

As life goes, they had dissagrements--and Charlie walked away. Charlie was the bike builder, and the bike mechanic.
Without Charle I don't think Marin Mountian bikes would have
ever build bikes?

The shop was on Tundtead Ave. There was always a thick cloud of the early 80's in the air. The bikes were stunning.

There were so many people who thought they would never be successful, but the bikes started to sell-- and the rest is
history. The people who thought they would fold were adults. All the kids who drooled over the bikes(myself); knew different, but knew it was still a very risky business.
As a chid, I would look into the shop and I used to say to
myself "I hope they are still in business when I earn enough
to buy one."

As to Charlie Kelly; I don't think he is rich, but he looks
younger than the rest of the guys, and seems genuinely happy. It's not just about money?

I wouldn't label them as Hippies though. They were just young guys who liked riding bikes(road and mountan). Young guys who didn't want to follow in their fathers footsteps?
Putting on that tie and spending years at same company seemed like a prison sentence years ago.

(I let my brother use my bike and he eventually destroyed it. Then someone stole it. Somethings never change.)

I know the display looks cool and all but this doesn't make driving with a phone any safer. You're still distracted. It's no different to just having your phone on the windscreen.

Even where I live (Tasmania, Australia) I'm fairly sure there is either a proposal or already a law banning even hands free devices, because they are seen as just as dangerous. This device is going to be illegal to start with.

The only two thing I see as being feasible from a safety point of view for cars is either some sort of augmented reality for lane guidance and navigation, or your phone giving you direction via voice (which they already do).

I'm building a clone of the official iPhone software keyboard for use as a base for 3rd party keyboards: https://github.com/archagon/tasty-imitation-keyboard

Instead of fixed images and positioning, it uses CoreGraphics and Autolayout, making it adaptable to portrait/landscape of any size. (It's really slow on device ATM, but hopefully that will be fixed shortly.)

In the end, I intend for it to have most of the looks and functionality of the existing iPhone keyboard (when possible) except for iOS8 suggestions. Release date for beta-ish 1 should optimistically be a week or two after the iOS8 release date.

Also, unrelated, I had an idea for a human-readable passphrase generator, in the vein of diceware, but I need to find a good algorithm for generating grammatical sentences and correctly conjugating verbs, etc. Also, I have yet to limit my wordlist to the most commonly used words. Right now, it's... silly: http://archagon.github.io/grammatical-passphrase-generator/

Possible future features: arbitrary length, rhyming schemes, other mnemonic features.

(Give it 30 seconds or so to load — everything is done in JS, including wordlist parsing.)

How about the speedometer dial, the fuel and the oil temp gauges?

Those need to be checked regularly as well and they occupy mindshare. You even need to focus on them and given that they are a lot closer than the road that takes time away from the road, refocus, then inspect the dials then look back out of the front windshield and re-focus.

Driving itself is a multi-tasking effort.

The number of buttons and indicators in a car (especially a high end one) can be quite distracting.

And not checking your speed diligently where I live gets expensive really quickly, 3 km over the actual limit (as checked by the GPS) will get you a ticket. So I actually drive with the GPS 'on' even when I know perfectly well where I'm going because it checks my speed without me looking at it.
For readability, redirections are usually placed last but indeed they can be intermixed with all the other words in the command and this is specified by the POSIX standard (so it's not bash-specific either):

http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009604599/utilities/xcu...

'A "simple command" is a sequence of optional variable assignments and redirections, in any sequence, optionally followed by words and redirections, terminated by a control operator.'
While I love the device and the presentation, I am certain that this will negatively affect your concentration and thus your driving performance.
Doesn't really need to be "strict" in this case. Texts could come back with a context from the recipient. Say you text someone, they're driving, you get a status of "In motion," or "In a movie," or something based on the data coming back from the phone.

They're not necessarily unable to respond to you, as in not locked out of their phone by the carrier, but the carrier knows they're moving at 30+mph, and gives that data to the sender.
Is there anything to back this up? In my experience comparing startups to non-profits, people working for non-profits don't tend to get much done and have a phenomenal number of meetings.
Thanks!

In case anyone else is interested: the distinction between phase delay and time delay comes into play if bandwidth is large as you say, but in one more case as well. If the array is large enough that the time delay across the array is on the order of a symbol period you must use a true time delay. If you use a phase delay instead of a true time delay, energy from separate symbols will be added together to make the final bit decision and the resulting ISI will increase BER.
Totally agree. Any kind of distraction while driving is unsafe. Research has shown that even hands-free phones are unsafe while driving. Here's a much better gadget: http://www.mobileye.com/products/mobileye-5-series/mobileye-...

What that statistic misses is the fact that the pods only cover the last mile between medium-term parking and the terminal.

Meanwhile the overpriced 'short stay' parking sits half empty.
