Only way is to make it self documenting, when a metric is set up, when you are navigating the graphs etc there should be some text defining where this data came from. It also depends if lack of data means something to your system. In my system a lack of data for a metric for a time span x implies that something is wrong and should be alerted. In some systems this might not matter. This provides a self fulfilling habit of removing dead metrics

People are so used to their freedom, that they (rightly) get upset over even small losses of it.

But it makes them forget what real loss of freedom is, and think that what they lost is somehow comparable. They just don't realize how bad it can really get.

No I am not complaining about overthinking I am complaining about how people who learn critical thinking confuse it with constructive thinking, just like you do now.
I love Seafile, and am running it on my own VPS right now as my primary file sync/store.

I'd love for more companies to pop up offering hosted Seafile instances. Right now I'm hosting my own because I like having the guarantee that it won't get pulled out from under me or change the TOS in an unexpected way, but I don't like being my own sysadmin when things go wrong (not that things go wrong frequently -- the software is high quality and stable). If there were multiple competing providers it could form an ecosystem like Wordpress where the risk of bad actors is low because of how easy it is to pick up your data and move to another platform with a minimum of fuss.

However, based on the lengths disk42 has gone to to omit any reference to the Seafile project, it appears they aren't interested in participating in that ecosystem, which is a shame. I guess I'll just have to keep waiting.
Well, you're already arguing for something more liberal than current law. The movie companies put a technological mechanism in place to make that not work (in violation of EU regulations, but nothing seems to have happened about that), and got laws passed to make it illegal to circumvent that mechanism. And while sending a DVD from Australia to France as a private individual is legal, doing it as a commercial operation is not.

But making the real argument, if it's my DVD, I should be able to copy it.
The size of the corpus isn't the issue (apart from processing time of course).

The key issue in estimating how big a job it is is how complex your entity extraction and inference rulesets are.
I would say that this is actually a good solution. It's lopsided today since we don't officially acknowledge that this is what we're doing, but if the trend continues, you and I will also eventually be hit by this development (unless we're exceedingly lucky).

Global wealth tax on large personal fortunes (say, 0.2-1.0% per annum of fortunes greater than $2MM) and even redistribution to everyone will make the solution more transparent and fair.
Then the comments should be both constructive and negative, explaining the situation like yours did.
In my opinion, it's misleading to advertise your application/products as 'security guaranteed' because it's open source and _can_ be reviewed.

The fact that something is possible to review, doesn't imply it will actually happen. See recent example issues of software like OpenSSL, Bash etc.

Though personally i don't see any motivation that would make me believe the open or closed choice is the better. They both have risks and costs, which you need to weight and make your choice upon. And most important accept the risks of your choice (, which you can of course try to minimise and should).

Itypo do cheer for any software you can choose to run/host yourself on your own network/hardware. And not be relying on another party to run and/or host it for you. (Which brings the additional security issues you can't control, physical access etc).
They probably release old tech after they have upgraded their own. So when they did their internal LevelDB 3.0 they released 1.0 as opensource. Probably do the same thing with all their releases (map-reduce,bigtable etc).
In a fairly dynamic language, it may be more problematic than in C. I mean in C you know i is an int and will not change. Maybe even know it's not used later on, so changing i at all is useless.

I honestly don't know how much magic you can inject into Perl6, but there have to be languages dynamic enough that allow you to override integer increments and make $i=10; ++$i return an array of oranges. Possibly even from another thread while you're iterating.
This is the typical principle agent problem, it depends of the ownership of the company. If it is privately hold, then savings make sense and you have to optimize for sustainability, i.e. otherwise your private savings are nilified. But if the company is widely spread by shareholders, then you have the maximize value by concentrating on one product, and leverage by keeping down the risk factor while still maintaining a high enough earnings on capital rate. The risk is adverted by the shareholders themselves that have their own portfolio of companies.
I think it was Grandma's wisdom - or at least common knowledge.

Easier said than done. What are they going to retrain to? As AI continues to advance, more and more jobs will necome redundant. CGP Grey did a great video on this[1]. Even if you can't completely replace humans, often times, obe person will be able to do the job that used to take several. Where do those others go? What will we as a society do if for example AI-based Expert Systems make 90% of accountants and office clerks redundant? We can't retrain all of them to become doctors and scientists, can we?

I have seen people promoted to Information Security Officer who did not know the first thing about IT or programming, let alone hacking or things like APTs, server security or the top ten list of exploits.

I believe he was promoted because they wanted him away from his previous job, managing a software development department.

> taking the increased transistor budget and improving those existing four cores

There is not much space for improvement left. ILP had been stagnating quite for a while, and there is no hope of improvement with the current ISAs. More OoO-friendly ISAs are being developed, but are unlikely to hit the market any time soon.

Caches are also approaching the upper limit, and for the bigger caches we need either some much smarter cache management techniques (explicit prefetching, etc.), or a totally different programming model (e.g., using a flat scratchpad memory explicitly instead of transparent caches).

Core count grows for a reason - there is not really much stuff we can put into a single core any further, not without breaking the whole architecture.

You cannot control peoples thoughts this just makes the language evolve in order to bypass the firewall and people will find different words to mean the same thing in order to avoid the firewall.

I have always wondered, as a leftie myself, if appearance plays a part in people making a first-impressions decision about acceptance. For example, a lot of left handers part their hair on the 'wrong' side, so to righties it looks like they look in the mirror, but not as they expect to see other people. I wonder if this has any bearing on human behavior at all.

Much as racism is often partly caused by deviation from 'the norm'. We learn to read signs in people's expressions and actions and we judge them based on their deviation from the norm. If a person has a hard to read face because their features and different from our own and those around us then it could lead to distrust or at least reticence to decide about that person.

On a completely different note, I thought this article was going to be about people whose politics were 'leftie'. Glad I read it before commenting.

Compiling is not such a corner case. Even non-developers, "common users" are often enjoying the source-based Linux distributions, things like Mac Ports and alike.
It's not as simple as that WRT the Mac Pro. One of the graphics cards can't actualy be used to drive displays, it's only there to handle intensive compute tasks.

The Mac Pro also scales to 12 cores. If that's not about distributing power evenly over multiple active 'session' (not sure what 'sessions' are supposed to mean in this context), I don't know what is.

I agree about the iMac though. It is a very powerful computer, but it's clearly optimised for tasks requiring immediate responsiveness. The fact that it also happens to have a very powerful CPU is not the factor that is driving the overall design.
I'm more interested about inter card latency...

In the case of software which is widely used a complexity increase matters little. Imagine what companies like Google or Amazon save with a 1% improvement in their data centers. They could employ 10 more kernel developers to deal with the complexity in return.
Actually, the NSA has a greater power to spy on data on foreign soil than on domestic soil. Ironically, although the 'legal' channels for subpoenaing data with warrants exposes data in the US to government demands, there's at least in theory, some kind of oversight by the courts (although we know they rubber stamp everything).

I think the idea that data held within your home country is 'safer' may be a false sense of security.

I agree in that I'd much rather read terse expressive code than pages of dribble convey anything meaningful, having seen a lot of verbose code too. That said, code should be well formed. When I started out in C I only used curly braces when I needed to. After creating several bugs stemming from this I now add them as a rule of thumb. That particular issue is compounded here by the fact that multiple statements are shoved on a single line - also poor form.

I'm currently working on https://keepallthethings.com which offers a similar service only web based with a GUI so it will either be more useful or less for you depending on your use case.

Its just launched so there are a lot of features still on the roadmap instead of implemented but it'd be nice to have other peoples feed back/ideas for improvements as I go.

That would be technically correct, but they want you to select "China" if you live in Taiwan. "province of X" would not be a correct choice in the "country" selection box. Obviously I agree with you, but the censorship commission is incredibly strict about that and they wouldn't accept such measures to sidestep their restrictions.

Edit: I really do wonder why someone downvoted my comments. Is that because you support the Chinese censorship or for some other reason?

If the police asks you to put some clothes on then, well, you can't walk nude publicly. They won't let you go without doing that. That was my entire point.

If you meant, you can walk nude in public without fearing draconian punishment then, yes, Germany is luckily a country having a sense for proportionate punishments.
It is not only that - even when you run your own company you can and often are effectively dependent on your clients/market ( especially that big client making 80% of your revenue ), or the need of your dependents ( you still need to pay your mortgage ) . That's a common complain here on HN of founder "selling out", "losing the original spirit", ...

There is a cultural bias for entrepreneur, especially in the US (that's not a bad thing BTW), so struggling directly against the market is seen as more glamorous then through a corporate structure/middleman.

In the end, you are as in control of your destiny as much as your wealth permit, no matter how you made that wealth in the first place.

It's common to see implementations want to remove debiasing steps too. E.g. I've seen several implementations of "derandomized DSA" for Bitcoin (e.g. javascript tools, hardware wallets, etc. We obviously do this right in Bitcoin core) that do not re-roll if the result is over the order, they just take it mod the order.

Complaining to the implementers has just resulted in <whine>thats more complicated, mod is fine</white> And, indeed, for secp256k1 the differences is 1 part in 10^38, so its not likely of practical importance; unless you can assume an attack that can extract an _awful_ lot of signatures from you.

I expect the same behaviours are common for different parameters where it's not such a small bias.

Digital Ocean receive new funding of $50m
The Mac Pro has those capabilities because it's optimized to be a graphics/video workstation, and those tasks are very amenable to parallelization. Those 12 cores are not there to serve 100 different clients per second, but rather to provide maximum render power for the user sitting in front of the computer. (That's what I meant by a single "session".)

Of course you could put a Mac Pro in a server room or data center, but realistically very few people do that... It's just not designed for that.

There are plenty of large graphics/3D/video render farms, and they don't use expensive workstations like the Mac Pro. You get more bang for the buck by going with traditional server form factors. Cool black cylinders with ridiculous amounts of desktop-oriented I/O don't make ideal servers.
