One SDK to Rule Them All
It's an interesting trend. I wonder if it might come too late. We're seeing an up-tick in automation. More and more menial jobs are becoming automatic. The labour force on the low end is not as needed. I wonder what will happen if the industrialist in the Asian countries gain enough capital to buy heavy equipment. Will the wage trend continue grow?
See my response to ilolu - I most recommend diving in and experimenting yourself - maybe build something that is on the CPU first since it is easier to work with. Voxels are really intuitive, you are just manipulating a 3D array of data (more complex once you get into compression and things like that). I learned everything just by playing around with code. :)
Curious if using the Sparrow scheduler would have been a net gain/loss to this type of work load?
This is just beginning of problem we are solving. Readers tend to scan content and it's not good for author who spend time to write it. We helping the author by making his posts enjoyable and special. And setting right mood for reader. Post looks good even sometime it's content is not so good. Making a weekend prototype clone is not hard, but if you don't know what to do next, your clone is useless. Right?
Good work, congrats!

I played with the same idea a few years ago, but never went that far :)

Thanks!! I'd settle for a decent middle class wage at this point. Right now, I am effectively making less than minimum wage based on the hours I work. :)

Good luck on the app - hope you make it and make the something delightful that will change the world even if by a little bit.
Great project. I can't believe I haven't heard of this already (looks like it was started a couple of years ago)!
Edit: Pash was created by Igor Moochnick and published at http://pash.sourceforge.net/ in 2008. After the original release, development ceased.

Finding the best Wifi channel on OS X
That's all true, but if an online community becomes unwelcoming the cost of leaving is virtually zero - I've abandoned several because I had begun to find them toxic for one reason or another. I do think moderation works better when it's unilateral and there's a clear demarcation between administration and membership so you don't end up with social capture, ie a clear understanding that Forum X is not a democracy or even a polity.

It's an imperfect situation, but if you want to run a structured forum (eg the typical case of one that's dedicated to particular topics of mutual interest), then it's better than just establishing it and walking away, because without any sort of moderation at all the evidence is that it will quickly turn into a toxic shithole and be useless for its original purpose. Usenet's alt tree was the best example of a benign self-regulating anarchy but even that buckled in the wake of Eternal September and never really recovered IMHO.

Buried lede is how far India is lagging.

CSS is pretty embarrassing if you ask me. Maybe it was suitable for simple and small document styling for total noobs, ok, but as a standard for web development it's rediculous and sucks all the way... And the worse part? They are still adding to it instead of giving up and leaving it as it is.

We desperately need a better standard, more in the direction of QML, so you can also talk with a lower level language. If you come from a systems programming language and you want to design a UI with CSS, well, good luck! It will suck all the joy out of your work. Center some text or a div? well buckle up for some fine days of f@*$ing around with position: relative; or position: absolute; margin: 0 auto; text-align: center; ? It all depends on the situation, and if one thing changes, your whole design is gone.. ..it's pathetic.
I looked through your comments, and you don't seem to have many downvotes. In fact I didn't see a single one in two pages of your comment history. Perhaps we all just need to do whatever you're doing :)
10 Great Questions to Ask a VP Sales During an Interview
I'm a founder.

Re permissions: We use IMAP to access email data, so there is no granularity. It's all or nothing. We never move or delete messages and only send messages with your express permission. (Google offers a Gmail API that has slightly more granular permissions, but it is not peformant for our use case.)

Re deleting an account: Yes! You can delete your account and all of your data from our system with a couple of clicks. You can do that from your account page.

Please ping me with questions. alex@conspire.com.
I just replied in the context of the article. I'm assuming if you are doing math proofs all day you probably aren't dealing with "command line bullshittery".

Thanks for the detailed answer. I suppose tracking stages of sales pipeline is a good metric as you and several others have mentioned. Much better than being completely in dark.

Also by 'backlog', I assume you meant product backlog (e.g. features remaining) or something in the sales funnel?

While tracking the sales funnel is great to use as an indicator of progress, it is not great as a decision-making heuristic internally (e.g. for product features) as pg mentions in his essay 'Startup=Growth'. I suppose product backlog is a good metric for such cases.

Tldr; use sales funnel to track business side and feature backlog internally.

Because of the faster feedback cycles, the web/mobile app world can use the same metric to track internal and external progress.
Is this approach similar to something like flickrfs[0], to make one's flickr account locally accessible? It always seemed like a cool idea (though I never had much luck with flickrfs itself), and it is neat to see the broader utility of psty.

It could help with MD. A lot of MD potentials are developed by kind of regressing results from QM calculations for different atomic configurations (e.g. some versions of ReaxFF are based off of DFT calculations).

I actually don't know a whole lot about how exactly QC speeds up computations for things like Quantum Monte Carlo, I just know that an algorithm exists for it (much like Shor's algorithm speeds up integer factorization, but the details are murky for me). I'll have to see if I can find which paper that is.

This is an impressive amount of effort put into making the content unreadable. I sort of get what they're going for with the fade-in of content as you scroll down (although it's distracting as hell for actually reading rather than just looking at it), but what would possess someone to think that fading out text as I scroll down was a good idea? Crazily enough I like to be able to read more than two sentences without scrolling. I don't expect a site to use my monitor's full width, but I sure do expect it to use the full height.
yes, that's the key. The local IO on previous reported systems was HDDs, thus 300-600Mb/s at best with 6 drives per machine, while this guys are getting 3.3Gb/s. Getting full performance - 1.1Gb/s - of 10Gb network - were they lucky or AWS now is that good ? (couple years ago i was able to get only 400Mb/s node-to-node on cluster compute nodes there)

This is a fascinating article. Some innovative stuff to deal with the difficult problem of how to innovate without breaking existing customers.

Some highlights:

* when a client first makes requests store their version, so that they don't have to worry about it
* decouple features from versions, by using 'gates' (allowing for far more versions than would otherwise be possible)

Here's the hypothetical scenario that the report describes in the end.

I've found reading the analysis after this story makes it an even better read:

The road is so flat and straight, you can see them coming from a mile away. Six runners flow in arrowhead formation around the Canadian city of Saskatoon. The early November air is still and dry, the sky overcast, and the temperature hovers a bit above freezing, just as predicted.

All in their early 20s, they’ve been training together for this moment for years; only in the last month did their coach select which three will go for the record. The remaining three form the front of the arrowhead, blocking the wind and enduring the mental effort of controlling the pace. Should one of them cross the finish line in two hours—or faster—all six will share equally in the $50 million jackpot promised by the heirs to the Hoka One One fortune. The pot of money is up for grabs, for any runner, anywhere in the world. The chase is on.

So, will they make it? And what year is this? We’ve cut the distance to the sub-two marathon in half since 1998, but it will get progressively harder to trim the remaining seconds. Still, the physiologists tell us that it’s not impossible, meaning it is possible. I’m saying the year is...2075—and they make it
We realize that uncertainty exists but we are hardly detached from it. Our every waking hour is spent fighting it, in fact. I reckon the point was rather that in spite of that uncertainty, the experience, for us, had intrinsic value.

Why do people use MailChimp? UI experience better at DirectIQ and Campaign Monitor
That is one interesting topic. Thank you for bringing it up.
I'm still trying to understand why MailChimp is so popular, like I understand they have a lot of integrations, but their user experience is somewhat horrendous. Any thoughts on an Email Marketing service? DirectIQ seems really simple, albeit small and unknown to many.

AIO is in HEAD for the next release. I implemented it myself.

As for bmap, I can say unequivocally that bmap will never be supported in ZFS. bmap is a nonstandard extension that is incompatible with filesystems that span multiple disks, incompatible with network filesystems that have no local disks and incompatible when doing writes to filesystems that support checksums. ZFS is disqualified from supporting bmap by virtue of #1 and #3. The same is true for others such as btrfs and NFS.

As for O_DIRECT, there are no clearly defined semantics for O_DIRECT other than how it is implemented in XFS. My understanding of O_DIRECT is that the I/O is intended to go straight to/from the underlying disk. A true implementation of those semantics cannot be implemented in filesystem that spans multiple disks, CoW or checksums. A lesser form could probably be implemented where we try to make I/Os using O_DIRECT operate as if they were run with primarycache=metadata when primarycache=data and secondarycache=metadata when secondarycache=data. A third option would be to just ignore the O_DIRECT flag. A fourth would be to let users choose between the second and third. We might support that in the future, but I am inclined to think it will do more harm than good.

As for why NFS is in the VFS API support chart, NFS is least common denominator for VFS API support that is widely deployed. Nearly all software that works on NFS can be known to work on other filesystems. Those using the chart for its intended purpose can quickly deduce whether software will likely run on ZFSOnLinux when they know that it already works on NFS. The sole exceptions are software that uses O_DIRECT or NFSv4 ACLs. The former can typically be toggled on/off in software that supports it while the latter can be dismissed with the knowledge that it runs on NFSv3 (or any other Linux filesystem at the present time).
Sonic has been doing that for a year. All they're doing is applying a blacklist at their DNS servers. Unlike OpenDNS and Google, they don't divert DNS no-finds to ads. It is annoying, though, that they don't clearly identify who's displaying that message and why.

Sonic has an alternative DNS server without this feature (at 75.101.19.196 or 75.101.19.228), which is useful if you're testing things that need to see phishing sites.

In the broadest sense, no.

Given that debt (aka. leverage) is the fuel that makes industrial-scale capitalism possible, we are in big trouble if defaulting on debt is somehow morally deficient. Defaulting on debt is built-in to the system. Without that possibility, there would be no risk, there could be no interest, and we might as well be trading in actual commodities. This includes credit card, car, and home debts.

I think there might be a moral dimension to debts to family and friends, but that's more closely related to telling the truth than debt in the sense of this story.

Nothing will beat a button, ever. Gestures are not more important than buttons, components, application and developers. But will need a new space in this new world, the one of the already arrived future.

Not even gestures being used by all the crowd all together will replace a binary and perfect button. However the world is changing fast and the evolution of the interaction with our computers, crowded with wearable vehicles household touch interfaces, Internet of things and so on, will definitely need a new approach on gestures. That's the reason we are trying to start a nice discussion about with the developers.

Our API enhances the ongoing apps. We created a non transparent overlay to have all the app components available however provide the alternative of having gestures enabled with a single line of code on any platform, designed on an online editor. It should not harm however have the alternative of doing them, under different accessibility scenarios and different body movements and ergonomics.

As you pointed out air gestures can be yet experimental and will definitely need more work on the input side. We think that our fingers are key as I expose it here at this blog http://www.gesturekit.com/side-effects-minority-report/ and I envision them having more alternatives to efficiently tackle more problems needing a deeper use of them touching rather than airing.
In my experience, the intensity of desire and the subsequent pleasure produced varies widely across different people.

The facets of the marshmallow experiment used to accredit certain kids as having picked up highly mature techniques in delaying gratification, can perhaps be equally explained by their desire levels not exceeding the threshold required to overpower their cognitive functions.

Certain kids love marshmallows to the point that they disobey orders, while certain kids do not. That to me is just as feasible an explanation.
While this is true, ZFSOnLinux has made progress on reducing CPU overhead. Additional improvements will be in the next release. In particular, the performance of NFS exports of ZFS datasets will increase considerably (some are seeing a factor of 2 increase) while CPU utilization has dropped:

There's a significant qualitative difference between someone being self-destructive (albeit with traumatic consequences for those who are connected to them) and engineering the destruction of someone else.

There may be mental failings involved which are outside the control of the individual, but I don't think that's the whole story or we'd have to throw the idea of moral agency out the window (I picked the example I did because the person neither appeared nor claimed to suffer cognitive impairment AFAIK). We are actors as well as being acted upon by our environment and biology; insofar as our activities impact others, we have some responsibility to regulate them.

> And the question is, is it always superior to human attention?

The more valuable question is this:

Does it perform better than humans in the most frequently occurring situations that lead to incidents, are those situations a large enough fraction of all incidents such that the number of overall incidents drop significantly, and will that drop be greater than the increase in frequency of less predictable situations.

If the above turns out to be the case, then there will be fewer accidents despite less aware drivers.
