My argument is that the results generated are not a product of the skill of the agent, but of the intrinsic demand for the product. Supply is very limited, and demand is extremely high. The unit will move itself, regardless of effort extended by the agent. As an engineer / executive - you would only rather be paid for results if you are a good worker and your output is positive. If your output is poor, or you produce shoddy work, you probably would prefer to be paid for time on the job.
Sure! I would encourage you to also take a look at CDAP (http://cdap.io) (http://github.com/caskdata/cdap), where Tigon is used as the realtime stream processing framework.

CDAP's features allow developers to build even more powerful bigdata applications (https://github.com/caskdata/cdap-apps).

Here are some CDAP guides/tutorials that might be of interest: http://cask.co/guides.

For managing volumes, ZFS on Linux works great. But for managing NFS, I'd definitely go with a separate NFS implementation if I wanted to heavily use NFS. The primarily developers/users of the ZFS on Linux port are mainly using it for highly-available single-machine volume management, and exporting volumes to gluster or other clustering filesystems for use in massive HPC clusters like those over at Lawrence Livermore National Labs.

http://www.nersc.gov/assets/Uploads/W01-ZFS-and-Lustre-June-...

ZFS is meant for managing local drives, and to make it performant you need to configure SSD partitions to act as an L2 Arc cache. The online documentation is pretty good, so after going through the docs it should be pretty clear how to set ZFS up properly for your use cases.

But it sounds like you're using EBS drives? If so, not sure why you'd want to use ZFS. Last I checked, ext2 or xfs was the way to go with EBS drives on AWS. AWS has so much stuff going on in the background to ensure reliability/availability of EBS volumes that adding another layer isn't worth it IMO and I've seen similar kernel panics running other complicated volume managers on top of EBS.

"Kolmogorov also started as a nonmathematician--he was studying history. His first paper, written when he was seventeen, was reported at a seminar given by Bakhrushin at Moscow University. Kolmogorov came to some conclusion based on an analysis of medieval tax records in Novgorod. After his talk, Kolmogorov asked Bakhrushin whether he agreed with the conclusions. 'Young man,' the professor said, 'in history, we need at least five proofs for any conclusion.' Next day, Kolmogorov switched to mathematics. The paper was rediscovered in his archive after his death and is now published and approved by historians."

Contrary to many posters, I think it's indeed very likely N. Korea was the origin of the attack.

Disclaimer:
I'm not pro war and generally not pro- US foreign policy. The events in Iraq were shameful. Our involvement in Libya and the so called Arab spring was shameful. Our involvement in Ukraine and general treatment of Russia has been deplorable and painful to watch. I think we should stop saber rattling at Iran who I believe would join the modern world much more quickly if they weren't being constantly threatened and undermined by a power that has done them some serious wrong in the past. The US's seemingly unconditional support of Israel, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states is unconscionable in my estimation.

That being said, I feel differently about North Korea. I believe this country truly is dangerous and steps should be taken sooner vs. later to dis-empower it. I am genuinely worried worried about what might come from there in the next decade or two if things continue as they are.

Just my opinions.
And once the first domino (theater) falls, the pressure on remaining theaters increases tremendously.
There's a crucial difference between "accept" and "tolerate" and there's an even wider difference between "the government must tolerate that speech" and "I must tolerate that speech."

I roundly reject the speech of shitty people. (I've switched tabletop game stores because I have no patience for GamerGate partisans, for example.) While I don't agree with the notion that this movie is deserving of rejection, I sympathize and anybody who feels that way is not somehow wrong by refusing to accept and patronize it.
Heh, thanks. I spent years of my life with X getting my perfect WM. I'm happy to say I got there. But I can't stomach much more of X. :-)
You don't have to see that the proof is proving what you intend; the type-checker does that for you. This is why some people sometimes refer to type checkers as small theorem provers.

As for your assert example, how do you know append will work as you expect for all possible strings (including null characters or weird unicode edge cases)? With a proof you will know.

10 Overlooked Aspects of the WordPress SEO Plugin You Should Not Ignore
I've tried running the grsec kernel on Arch a few times, and I've never gotten it to boot once, it usually just panics immediately. In the same way openSSL was a base of nobody wanting to invest in covering your own ass, there is no interest in having a legitimately secure kernel the way grsec proposes, and even in Arch there are only a few people working on it and while it is in the official repos it really should be in the stock kernel if they wanted to send a message.
This hack was probably organized by a shadowy cabal of film critics, driven mad by an endless flood of banal previews.

edit - I wonder if I should try and pitch that to someone.
it should be obvious at this point that sony's gamification of this event is part of the problem and deserves some ridicule.
The guy reminds of a certain character from Breaking Bad.
This is intolerable. To have a thug like regime such as North Korea impose their will on rest of the world on what they can or can't see is infuriating.
Here it is, for reference. I could imagine it possible in the lab, and I'm not an audio engineer but the whole thing is completely implausible.

I wonder if these leaks are planned? I first became aware
of Snapchat when Zuck offered a Zillion dollars for it.
I thought it was a great idea, but the patent didn't seem
bullet proof? The value is free texts--right? Personally,
I see a future where you have two poor people with second hand smart phones and want to communicate for free. Great--they will use apps like SC, but not necessarily SC? I do see a tech bubble, and these leaks just might be free advertising? The amount of
money throw around seems crazy. The icing on the cake was
when Google bought Nest. I remember the CEO of Honeywell commenting on the Nest buyout. He said something
like, 'They could have bought Honeywell and still have a lot
of money left over'. (Honeywell is everywhere. Their products are in every building I have ever worked in--they
are huge and diversified.) The CEO of Honeywell had a weird
grin on his face when being interviewed--like he was just shocked at the amount of money spent. Anyways, I think we
are being played? I think these leaks are planned.
I've wanted something like that. The main problem is security: find a hash collision, magic XSS.
I've been using btrfs on several machines for about 3 years. It is not stable: https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page#Stability_...

When it goes wrong (about every 4 months for me), you will end up in a nightmare. Generally attempts to fix issues will make things worse, various tools and pages contradict each other, and the devs are only interested in the latest kernel version. Much of this is deliberate - the code is written to not sweep things under the rug, which means you can hit problems and not recover. Use backups and make sure you can restore.

The reason why I keep using it is because there is no silent corruption as you get with ext4. A scrub can verify every byte of data is unaltered and recover if using anything other than single profile. Compression, volume management, cheap snapshots etc also make working with it nice. Until things go wrong.

The single biggest "going wrong" is running out of space. Copy on write filesystems by their nature leave existing content alone and write new information in the spare space, eventually doing a garbage collect of obsolete data. When you are out of space that gets rather difficult with bizarre symptoms and tricky recovery.
After analysis was complete, we released an update to our deployment system tooling to enforce compliance to the above testing and flighting policies for standard updates, whether code or configuration.

Hopefully there is a way to disable this policy adherence for when you really need to push out a configuration or code change everywhere quickly.
The downvotes are probably because you are complaining sites are broken when you install something that intentionally breaks them.

Ask HN: Would a new book on LeanPub belong on Show HN?
A few months back I started writing a book on LeanPub. Learned about LeanPub from HN. I would like to show the community and get feed back. I thought about putting in on Show HN, but could not tell if that was within the spirit of that section because people can't "try out" a book.

What's the best practice?

This seems almost a perfect way to end. I grew up with Dr. Dobbs. It's hard for me to overstate the impact it had on me growing up. It maintained a high standard of quality and integrity.

When I was a little kid, Dr. Dobbs was the only place to turn to for high-quality, in-depth, long-form content on programming. I was limited to the topics it covered. Today, I can search for thousands of blog posts on whatever interests me. I can read LKML. I can read LWN.

What was once a niche is now mainstream. If Dr. Dobbs stuck around, it was going to go the way of Radio Shack. That would have been sad. As is, it was a good reign, and a big and positive impact on the world. Now that relevance is gone. The ongoing impact is tiny. It's a good time to move on.

Gmail greats us with a loading indicator like that.
This is ridiculous. CoreOS is managing their own distro, so why not just package in ZFS and get it over with.

It's been how many years now waiting for the next great ZFS competitor? If nobody is able to improve on ZFS, how about we just all jump on the bandwagon and move on with our lives?

If nothing else, having more people using ZFS may inspire someone to actually improve on it. BTRFS has such a limited feature set in comparison to ZFS that with the advent of ZFS on Linux, it's really hard to understand the community's continued backing of BTRFS as the Linux community's CoW filesystem competitor to ZFS. Spend a few weeks using ZFS on Linux on a machine with a few SSDs and a few HDDs, or just enable it on a linux laptop with a SSD drive, and it's hard to go back to anything else.
>You could probably be in 10-20' swells and it wouldn't any kind of danger.

You are quite right!

The design conditions for Austrlian North-West Shelf include waves with ~14 meters significant height occuring with a frequency of once in 100 years, and ~20 meters once in 10,000 years. The permanently installed (some are disconnectable) facilities are typically designed to keep operating in 100-year return conditions and to survive 10,000 year return conditions.

By the way the ratio of maximum trough-to-peak wave height to "significant" height is about 1.8:1. So the wave you'd see in a 10,000 year storm would look to be 36 m (120 ft) tall...!
The fact many languages don't overflow check by default really saddens me. Integer overflow is the cause of so many bugs (many user-facing: http://www.reddit.com/r/softwaregore/), and yet people keep making new languages which don't check overflow. They check buffer overruns, they check bounds, and yet not integer overflow. Why? The supposed performance penalty.

The reckless removal of safety checks in the pursuit of performance would be considered alarming were it not commonplace.

(Disclaimer: I really, really care about integer overflow for some odd reason, going so far as to be going through the entire PHP codebase to add big integer support...)

"I think we are being played? I think these leaks are planned."

Are you suggesting that all this stuff about North Korea was a misdirect, and the real purpose of the Sony hack was to vaguely improve the reputation of Snapchat's CEO? Or perhaps that Snapchat had advanced knowledge of the hack and Evan Spiegel intentionally emailed the head of Sony at the strategically appropriate time?
No matter what you do, if there is a market, all the supply chain is going to evolve.

Why is the New York Times held in such high esteem? Was there a period of time when it truly was a paper of record? These days it seems like the name Pravda on the Hudson is well deserved.
Correct, the speedups are directly due to bundle caching (which previously had only been available for private/paid repos). Indirectly, I would assume this caching is now implemented via Docker's use of filesystem layers.
Yeah, I've been using Xmonad for a couple years and it's just faithfully used very little memory and never crashed. Also, this is across 4-5 different laptops.

Well apparently a tree can permanently sequester "up to 48 pounds" of carbon per year (numbers are unclear, some mix up carbon and CO2, bamboo is more, but it makes a good ballpark max). Let's assume a tree that glows instead of growing for simplicity. 48 pounds, times 30/6 to get the number of ATP produced per carbon atom, times 507/12 to account for how much heavier ATP is than carbon, comes out to 12.6 kilograms of recycled ATP per day.

> For the case of a big 'single page' JS app where a most of the rendering happens from Javascript fetched on the page, I'd guess this approach won't help that much since you have to fetch the JS from the CDN/cookieless domain anyways.

If you're taking that approach, you probably don't care much about performance anyways (I've never seen a pure JS SPA which rendered fast).
"We got hacked by a state" is much less embarrassing than "We got hacked by a former employee". If that is the case it's in Sony's interest not to let it get out.
I suspect that'd make it worse, as you've added a new inline call.
NoScript doesn't do general-purpose blocking of resources from third-party domains- it only handles blocking scripts and objects like Flash. So if a site won't load when NoScript is active, it's because the site is not delivering any viewable content through the initial request, just scripts which then go on to request the actual content. Such sites are obviously not optimizing for latency, and are also accessibility nightmares.

As for the cookie concerns: first-time visitors don't have any cookies to be sending. Regular users have a cached copy of your stylesheet. Someone who hasn't been to your site in months probably won't have a cached stylesheet, and if you're worried about the performance impact of cookies for them, then just consider whether that cost is worth paying for whatever benefit you're getting by setting long-lived cookies for users who didn't come back soon after their previous visit.

Reaction to the Sony Hack Is 'Beyond the Realm of Stupid'
You think that's bad? India took Comedy central off the air because of that!
If your hypothesis is completely true, why not become a broker and offer "1/2 fee" services? You'd still bank $500+/hr ($1MM a year full time equivalent); landlords would sign with you because they could charge an extra $100-150/mo rent while tenants would still save money overall versus those antiquated businesses charging full fees.

You'd have an unstoppable competitive advantage...assuming of course that your hypothesis is perfectly true and that the broker is really banking almost $7K for 6 hours of work.

My wager is that you'd find yourself falling well short of the million in annual income that your half-fee business plan would predict.
One issue is that you should not use any compression (http or tls) on a request/response with any sensitive info, such as session ids or csrf tokens (see beast, crime attacks).

It's easy to turn off compression on your www domain and turn it on on your cdn domain.

So now you're not compressing your css, which would slow the response time, but by how much I can't say. You could still use css minification.
Perhaps a silly idea / question, but could browsers support some kind of an optimization meta tag that tells to fetch the resource without sending cookies? something like `<img src="..." data-no-cookies=true>` or even a directive that applies to all static resources unless specified otherwise, e.g. `<meta no-cookies-for="jpg;css;js">` ??
Seth Rogen is a bit of a coward. He picked an easy target in Kim given that North Korea is isolated and has no ability to do any real harm to him. Easy to mock somebody who can't get back at you.

Would he have dared to make a comedy mocking Mohammed the warlord turned prophet and 72 virgins in heaven? I guess he was smart enough to figure out that life under police protection would have cramped his partying.

Oh, and Seth is a total prima-donna, witness his recent tirade against Cathay Pacific because they wouldn't allow his wife's dog onto the plane due to the breed being more susceptible to death during flight.
Separate domains for CSS and images files are primarily intended to overcome certain (old?) browsers' limitation on the number of concurrent connections to a single domain [1][2]. Cookieless domains can only help you if you have supermassive cookies. Keep those to a special subdomain, if you really need to have them. But you probably don't.

There is no one rule of thumb for performance. Generally, inline everything that's small enough to inline. If it's big enough such that caching a separate file will help you on subsequent page loads, then put it in a separate file.

Test and measure. If you can't measure the difference, it doesn't matter. If you don't measure the difference, the rule you are following probably isn't helping you.
