It's not like you need to ask a language community's permission to build your own thing in that language. Before Rails the Ruby community was very OO focused. Rails isn't very OO to be honest. It tends to used lots of composition and duck typing. You can see the major shift in the libraries before and after rails.

The question is, could somebody build a strong framework for web applications on Go? Maybe, i'm still learning the language myself so i don't know. Just because the language designers don't like it, doesn't mean that somebody won't come along and do it.
Programming can be art, but only extremely rarely is work programming also art programming. Even when you have the best of tools at your disposal, even when you're working with the best people and the most reasonable clients, you're still solving business requirements, not freeflowing into a design that just jumped into your mind a few seconds ago in a flash of inspiration. Solving business requirements should not, cannot be art. It should be robust and maintainable and boring. If you keep art programming and business programming separate then you'll inevitably find that one or the other does not agree with you.
In fact, IOMMUs reappeared in the last few years in the form of VT-d. On systems that support it, DMA attacks should not be possible.
I suppose this is true, but I'm talking about what these MBAs coming out of top-tier programs are all about. In my experience, they're not interested in technical challenges, they're interested in money and status.

That is why the Economist can write headlines like this in the first place; in other words, why the "interests" of MBAs can shift at all. I don't think that legions of MBAs were going into investment banking because it was just so fascinating to them, and I don't think that's why they're gravitating to SV, either.

Here's Some Motivation for Your Code
If you have a house absolutely full of junk, it has to get cleaned out sometime. Either before the hoarder dies, if someone is trying to help them get their life straight, or after the hoarder dies, because the heir of the property will want to get some value and you can't sell a house that is full of stuff.

Based on the article, no, they don't throw away what they can sell or salvage. He talks about this. Whatever isn't valuable, I'm sure they throw away.

I am better now that I prefer faster hard drives, but in the past I suffered from hoarding computer files. I still have TV quality files in addition to my blu ray dvd's and my hdtv downloads. It's like any file that I could find I would think to myself, if I on a remote island I would watch/use that!

Honestly coming to grips with it is terrifying and I wish I had every file I have ever come across to this day, but I don't and there are too many more to get to be worried about the ones I had.
That's exactly what Google does except some teams have triple rotations like Mountain View/Sydney/Zurich. I'm not sure why you think the word "rotation" means something else.
My hunch is that the student is frustrated because Dropbox sync speeds are sometimes less than the network line speed (maybe due to the agent having to scan the filesystem to look for changes, or because the agent is syncing many small files, or because Dropbox or the ISP or anyone in the middle is throttling the connection). This is particularly noticeable if you sync a new computer on a different network from the rest of your Dropbox machines (say, a EC2 VPS, or on a university network away from home) because when you're on the same network, LAN sync is often used for a large portion of the initial sync.

I suspect the student thinks that distributing his/her files among his/her friends and/or multiple services (bittorrent-style) will allow his/her to increase throughput -- however, I suspect it will merely increase complexity (and possibly also cost) without actually making syncing/back-up faster.

Are you sure you've read the thread, or did you just jumped at a perceived criticism of copyright holders?

My point was that if copyright infringement can be considered "theft", then surely so can murder. I'm pretty sure a murdered person is also deprived of resources. Like "years of life".

I'd be happy in a flat or a house. The right space is more important. I live in a small 2 bedroom house and I wish I just had a tiny 2m square study, somewhere which was my own space where I could e.g. safely leave my soldering iron set up and my kids wouldn't mess with it. Also my kids share a room and they don't have enough space to play Lego without having to put it away at the end of the day. I would really like it if they could have thier own rooms or a small playroom. I'm pretty sure this is not good for them or me. Also a utility room for the washing.
If you have any hobbies, they can take up a lot of storage space. You may want to dedicate a room to them.

You may want an office in which to work or study without interruption from a spouse or children.

Many people enjoy having ample bathroom counter space for products.

A backyard can a safe place for children or pets to play.

You can do alerting and monitoring through logs. I've done it myself. You can reduce the complexity of your infrastructure by converging those functions into a single set of tools. I would absolutely agree that the state of the art is capturing the evolving state of the system as a stream of events, and deriving monitoring and alerting from that stream.

I will note that a Smith Set Condorcet loop can occur even among 100% rational, wholly informed voters. It's not an aberration due to irrationality, it's just a fact of politics not being one-dimensional (quite literally -- if voters rank candidates based on whomever is closest to them in n-dimensional space, then for any n > 1 you can have a cycle).

You can draw your own example of this if you like. Draw an equilateral triangle and its altitudes, creating 6 regions inside. Put some dots in the 6 regions in the middle (voters), but leave every other region blank. Now, declare the vertices to be candidates (a 3-way race). If you compare any two of them, and have voters vote for whomever they're closest to (based on which side of the altitude they fall on), you'll end up with a rock-paper-scissors situation.

Twin Peaks Piracy Surges in Anticipation of Comeback
There's plenty of details left out but it sounded like Mrs. B was paying the bills, but wasn't happy about it. There was a hint that Mrs. B was "sick" so perhaps she was under doctor's orders to remove the mold/animal feces/garbage/vermin/etc that may be present in her home. Alternatively, sometimes people are ordered by home inspectors to clear out their homes enough to bring them up to code or face condemnation.

The actual process is, by and large, taking everything to the dump. There do exist some hoarders who keep clean homes and for whom an estate sale could make sense, but many/most have homes that are pretty much garbage pits.

Source: a close relative of mine was a hoarder, and I've watched way too many hoarding shows.
You make an interesting semantic point. :) If the site is responding to HTTP requests, but all it's returning is an unintelligible line of raw text, is it up or is it down?
Completely understand your perspective. I don't subscribe to the calories in < calories out = weight loss philosophy. I think calories are are pretty blunt instrument and that people's body respond to different foods differently.

That is, one of the key ideas of the study is that different people respond to foods differently. Let's imagine that everyone had, for example, two responses to sugar: one where your insulin spikes and then comes down immediately and another where it spikes, plateaus, and then comes down later. (This is roughly true).

One theory is that if you have one of those profiles your body will respond better (in a weight loss sense) to a low carb diet and if you have another profile then you'd response better to low fat diet.

I don't know if that's true -- hence the study! But I think it makes some intuitive sense that our bodies burn calories, pass calories through, etc, differently and that those differences are partially based on the interaction between what we eat and our bodies (genetic) proclivities.
I have been to other startup focused events, though normally on a smaller scale and not in SV.

I never felt like any of the people I met were trying to sell me their idea - it was far more collaborative among the people I spoke with. We shared, offered advice etc. I mostly spent time with people from out of town as we all were in town Friday night and used facebook to coordinate getting together for drinks since we were all there early.

The anti-virus industry is a result of DOS and Windows not having a unix permission model. Running as the user with highest privileges was the norm.

Now that a unix permission model is the norm, viruses are comparatively gone and replaced by malware that simply tricks the user into installing it. No permission model will help you against this. As a partial result, now we see things like iOS where we remove control from the user, or OS X where we try to make it inconvenient to be duped into giving access.

There are certainly still exploits that don't require duping the user, but the anti-virus industry certainly wasn't established based on these.

The undo functionality is actually almost there, I think we just don't have an interface for it. The arrow keys thing should be easy to implement. I will add it to github, and of course accept a pull request! We definitely need to accept ranges for formulas or some up with some easy way to do that.

The project as a whole is definitely unfinished but we have been working on it for so long and lost some motivation. I wanted to just get it out there to at least re-motivate myself to work on it.
Logging is super fucking noisy and generally not structured for operations support. The state of the art at my not-google employers is basically Nagios scripts. Everyone has these scripts that check various components:

- is the webserver running
- is it responding on port 443
- does it return HTML'
and maybe
- 'If I submit a search, do I get a result back?'

Nagios scripts are responsible for everything: opening network connections, querying system internals, collecting metrics, interpreting results, and boiling it down to a number between 0 and 3 and an unstructured text output to stdout.

A few of us understand that what we need is a more structured, data driven approach. Collect base metrics first, build a time series, apply a projection, and feed that projection in to a system that understands the actual failure condition.

As an example, imagine you're monitoring /. Nagios runs NRPE, NRPE looks at df /, and if it's 85 percent full (by default), sends a warning page. At 90 percent it sends a critical page. A smarter system collects the df / results, delivers it to a central timeseries database. The new data point is used to create a new projection, and the new projection is used to determine the time to an actual failure. The system above might have an idea of how long it takes to respond, repair, and resolve and issue a page when the disk will fill up if not responded to within 4 hours. That's the ideal solution, IMO.

It doesn't exist, AFAIK. There's a massive backlog of scripts that were written in the monolothic Nagios model that need to be rewritten, and thus this newer better version is always imaginary.
Root vegetables are usually higher in carbs. For my diet, i stay away from them. I second the substitution is key to stay under your carb daily limits. Instead of mash potatoes, you can make it out of cauliflower. Lost 30 pounds, over a year with lots of cheat day/weeks.

Low carb diet does make a big difference losing weight but watching net calories makes a bigger difference. If you're 500 calories under the maintain level. You'll easily drop a pound a week. Combine with some light daily exercises and you get that close to 2.
With 143 forks you can be sure at least some of them support multiple sheets :)
I think that saying calories are the key to weight loss is like saying altitude is the key to flight. If you want to fly, the key is to keep your altitude up. It is technically true and even useful in a way, but the truly difficult part is how to keep your altitude up.

Run a caloric deficit and you will lose weight, guaranteed. Just like if you maintain altitude above the ground you're flying. But how to run a caloric deficit day to day is the trick. You can look at it and say "just eat less", but eating is such a deep, fundamental drive that it's never that easy.

It turns out that pagers are often unreliable; while I've never had a message not get through eventually, I have frequently seen messages get delayed for hours or even until the pager was power-cycled.

On the other hand, if you set up an IMAPS account for each person's alert address, and then have their smartphone use that account to check email, reliability is quite high. (Strangely, sysadmins tend to have wifi in their houses and good data plans, especially when the company pays for it.)

Buildings in Hong Kong are much taller on average therefore you don't need as many elevator instances to serve them. About 150m is the best height to optimise elevator floor area take versus area gained from additional floors. From the other comment, buildings in Spain tend to be 6-10 storeys (20-30m) whereas at a guess I would say that the average height in Hong Kong is much closer to 150m, hence the more efficient use of elevators per head of population.
That means your fire drills aren't being run correctly.

Rather, how come this poor behavior wasn't noticed during earlier drills? Did the staff fire warden not have the management support to be able to affect staff behavior?
> C assumes you have one big flat address space.

Which means you can't talk about caching in C. You used to be able to declare that some variables would live in registers, but if you try that now, compilers ignore you. (As they should, given how easy register scheduling is for a compiler.) But not being able to declare things about cache can hurt you in some loops.

I agree that near and far pointers were a blot on C and it's good that that mess is gone, but the "Big flat address space" is just as much an abstraction as "In-order execution", and C can't let you peel back the covers on either. (Assembly doesn't always let you peel back the covers, either, but that's another topic.)
The solution would be to count meters of elevator per person.

I'm pretty sure a VPN would achieve the level of security that most users looking for a "Tor" router would want, as Tor is a bit overkill, and silly if you're willing to commit to the behavior changes to make it effective.

Perhaps someone should partner with a popular VPN like PrivateInternetAccess or another major VPN, as it'd allow people to continue using the services they know and love, and keep some of the prying eyes away from their unencrypted traffic.

> "Reading/writing to/from files is a FAR lower bar than linking with the CRL."*

If I want to write a unix utility in C, or Java, or C#, or Lua, or Racket, or postscript, or brainfuck..., I can. Not just in an academic sense, but in a "it is actually reasonable and trivial to do so" sense. The list of programming language implementations that cannot read/write to/from files (knowledge of the concept of "pipes" is unnecessary, the user's shell opens those) is vanishingly small.

For the average developer who just wants to use Powershell/bash/whatever, it is absolutely language lock-in.

I find it fascinating that despite not having the house+back yard that many Americans strive for

I too find it fascinating and I too live in a large apartment building, but a lot of other Americans would too if it were legal to build those apartment buildings. Matt Yglesias explains why in The Rent is Too Damn High (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0078XGJXO?tag=thstsst-20&linkCode=...), but the short version is that cities forbid taller buildings through height restrictions and parking minimums in order to protect the property values of existing owners by limiting housing supply.

These subcritical alerts deserve better but different handling: they can almost always be delivered to a non-paging email address, either a relevant internal mailing list or a ticket queue, where they can be investigated during normal office hours.

The other useful tip I have is to put URLs to internal wikis and/or tickets in the alert body. We write documentation for these to a 3AM standard: if I can't understand it immediately after being woken up at 3AM, it's not clear or actionable enough.
