According to the other person, it is that individual zones may be offline for a week. That makes sense. A whole cloud being offline for a week doesn't make sense, but yea, sometimes datacenters need new network fabrics.
This sums up my problem with the article. People who are concerned about inequality (I can't speak for Piketty in particular because I haven't made it very far through his book) are not necessarily concerned that workers are receiving less than their marginal product because their employers have stolen the remainder via "class power." On the contrary, we're concerned that workers are receiving their marginal product, which is a "just" wage from a purely economic perspective, but which is no longer (for the vast majority) a wage that affords a decent life.

At least that's true for people like me who put more stock in the economic explanation for inequality (technology + globalization) than the political explanation.
Oh, hey, it's a generic package that means you lose type safety and saves you from writing roughly 10 lines of code.

Buffered channels + goroutines + WaitGroup already allow you to implement this trivially, and because channels are builtin generic, you can do it without the nasty type casts. Really, []interface{} is a terrible type to work with.

It will pass.

I fall in love over and over again. Tonight is my second night in columbia, a visiting american. Out dancing salsa and merengue poorly I met a gorgeous girl and danced for three hours. We danced close, my hands still smell like her hair, leg still perfumed by her pussy. She was on vacation too and was very insistent about her boyfriend. I'm on HN because I can't sleep, consumed by desire.

It'll pass.

Am I miss-understanding something, I thought the 14.7:1 Stoich ratio (really closer to 12:1 under load for N/A Engines and 11.0:1 for well tuned FI Engines) meant for every 14.7 Grams of Oxygen, it requires (Molar weight of Air) / ((Molar Weight of Gasoline) * 14.7) . Granted it's been a while since I've taken Chem, but that was the impression I was under.

You know what's weird? I met my future wife online at college via a PARTI (PARTICIPATE, a terminal based messaging system running on PR1MOS that allowed a form of effectively real-time chatting and pseudonyms) in college...in the mid 1980s.

So in most of the 1980s and into the 1990s, I couldn't really effectively answer the "how did you meet" question because that wasn't yet a thing yet. ("On the computer" wasn't really satisfactory before people had a notion of "online".) And when it was more technically explainable, it was sort of seedy because there was so little that was local or social about it.

So the discovery, decades later, of people meeting online, of social media, of dating sites, of changing screen names to reflect your mood...that all seemed ancient in a way.

The only thing left is to watch it go by, to be rediscovered again by those new to computers...
This is very interesting because I think a lot of people think wisdom and personal self growth can only happen through human experiences, but just him sitting there thinking about it helped him grow as a person. It's amazing what the human mind can still do without the resources of a body.
Perhaps it would be better to use the term 'containment failure'.

I'm surrounded by vehement anti-nuclear types, you know the ones who get arrested for their environmental activism antics. When talking about nuclear technology with them I find it helpful not to utter certain words like 'meltdown', 'weapons', etc etc.
This is true. Also, vendorware that's written to Oracle.

However, I am thankful my own bosses can count, and went "WHAT" at the last Oracle bill.

So we're actively seeking to move our own stuff from 'Orrible to PG, and to get rid of the vendorware depending on Oracle.

We just got AppDynamics in (ridiculously versatile and useful monitoring). Speaking to the AD sales engineer, he said a lot of their Oracle-using customers are eyeing up PG similarly.
Although it's been a quiet few years, the project is on the up again. 2014 was a big year for CouchDB - CouchDB 2.0 developer preview was released (more on this in a sec) [1], IBM acquired Cloudant (and has made it available as on-premise offering), Cloudant Query (MongoDB-style querying for CouchDB)[2] was contributed to CouchDB. PouchDB, Couchbase Mobile and Cloudant Sync (all replication-compatible with CouchDB) all saw major new releases and increased uptake. Much more detail on all of this is on the CouchDB blog [3].

CouchDB 2.0 adds dynamo-style clustering support (similar to Riak and Cassandra) in addition to the replication(sync) protocol used by the CouchDB ecosystem [4]. It also includes all the fixes / performance improvements based on Cloudant's operational experience over the last 5 years.

That said, document databases are certainly a niche. CouchDB is a good choice if you need strong durability (writes are always fsync'd - to multiple copies when clustering) and consistent performance as your database scales (querying options may seem restrictive but are designed to scale very well). As others have pointed out, the RESTful interface to CouchDB makes it a good fit for web and mobile applications which can query the database directly without an app tier. PouchDB [5] and various mobile datastores which implement the sync protocol [6][7] allow you to also take your database to a browser or mobile client and work with it when disconnected which is pretty compelling.

>How does it make the program run faster?

Sunfmin, wrong answer, you'd have a 20x improvement with 20 workers only with 20 cores (ignoring the limited overhead), regardless of the number of workers your queue of jobs will be consumed in number_of_jobs*single_job_duration/GOMAXPROCS.
Yes, I often find myself lost in this trivial channels + goroutines + WaitGroup combination. For my self I'd prefer cast interface{}, :-)

Thanks, but there will be I/O waiting stuff right? For that whois command example, I find the CPU usage is zero if I am not running it parallel.
It is the second thing. Anyway, the number of pages is arbitrary -- it is a function of your language and terminology. Not every proof can be simplified, so surely there exist useful proofs that require 10,000 pages minimum for a given finite set of terms.

So you are very wrong. You are essentially asserting that the only mathematics worth doing is easy or already known in some compact form.

It does not seem to be a bonus point to be comparing the palestinians to the (average) felony level of the us prison population. Or is it your intention to suggest that both pose the same level of danger to their neighbors?
I have an online game that has 16k active users and for the backend I use a $90 per month dedicated server. I can share the details if you want but my point is you won't necessarily need a huge server to maintain 5-10k users.

Yes, each model iteration gets bigger and eventually there is enough space at the bottom of the range for a new small model.
This assumes infinite time to add all minutiae to LaTeX. Not everyone works directly on that, almost everyone thinks on paper, develops ideas on paper and then TeXifies it. In my case, most of the "it is clear that" never made it into any version of the final file.
Good idea.

One quick note to the authors (if you're reading), there's a typo on the info page:

Thumbs up for pv which shows the progress bar. Using parallel compression may have serious impact on CPU resources, so it needs to be balanced.

They use (slighly) different notions in different parts of mathematics. And usually, it's not just the notation that's difficult, but the concepts themselves.

In general, you are best off studying introductory texts to the topics you are interested. You will pick up the notation.

I find the assumption that the goal or purpose of higher education should be paying off economically in terms of future employment a foreign one. I am well aware that I could build a much more fruitful career by making a different choice than pursuing the path that I have chosen. I have other priorities in life and I assume that so do most of the people who would, say, major in poetry at a "lower quality college". Despite what some economists seem to think, money doesn't really reflect how a lot of us like to think of "value". Spending a big amount of my time on spiritual development, cooking, sozializing and taking classes outside of my field is obviously not the most rational choices for my career. Why focus on getting more money if I already have enough to get by?
Yup, if your jobs are i/o heavy the cpu time is wasted waiting if you execute them in a strictly sequential way. With your worker pool the cpu intensive part of the jobs is instead being executed concurrently GOMAXPROCS jobs at a time.
ALS (not to be confused with backfiring) destroys your exhaust quickly though, including the catalytic converter, so that's a no-go for non-race cars. Typically a nice hack.

What is your definition of 'individual'? A group can have values just as easily as an individual, even if your attempts to quantify that value are necessarily fuzzier.

Nothing useful is ever true by definition. Society has values because social contexts promote preferred actions. You start thinking about this by trying to define morality in useful manner:

A morality is an algorithm that models counterfactuals and assigns values to them.

(I.e., it _evaluates_ possible states of reality and prefers some to others.)

Thus group morality is an aggregate of individual moralities, though it isn't necessarily a linear aggregate, nor is it necessarily known or (even knowable) by any individual. Either way, all you need is a hypothetical, because any reliable _reasoning_ you do about group morality is going to try to optimize in terms of flexibility: if there is an ideal outcome for a group, then every action should be taken to ensure such an outcome is not eliminated from potential futures.

This implies a lot about group morality. It means information processing is valuable. (And hence, some vague notion of intelligence or creativity is valuable.) Generally speaking, a group is a decision-making entity, and it must value its own ability to make decisions and moral evaluations as a consequence.

What is valuable to a society is not some specific state, but the ability to rapidly converge to better states as more information is obtained. Social stability, situational responsiveness, rapid dissemination of facts, efficiency, correctness, etc.. Every society values these things, even if they cannot be used to determine specific behavior for individuals. Arrows theorem says that there is no way for a preferred state to be knowable to an individual.

It helps to think of a group as a network of brains in the same way that a brain is a network of neurons. It's a different kind of brain, but it still does all the brain stuff as a simple consequence of the fact that it is a strict superset of brains. Naturally, one brain cannot contain the information of 10,000 brains. (Thus, Arrow's Impossibility Theorem.) But one group can. We cannot know it, but we can presume such a state exists and optimize on flexibility, not state.
Brilliant!

What about an "Unlike all" button?
pigz does parallel compression, taking advantage of multiple cores. I am not really sure if you can achieve this with scp.
"There is often a lot more money and career advancement to be made as an economist if you are productively wrong - making policy proscriptions that serve an agenda, than if you are right."

I was unaware of that. I guess the last 12+ years that I've been an academic economist, I've been doing it wrong. Could you put me in touch with someone that will pay me to serve their agenda?

I wrote a similar Go package for running work loads in parallel, but I used beanstalkd for job/result transport. This allows me a bit more freedom to spread the workers/requesters across my network. It's a bit rough around the edges and could use some refactoring, but it works well for my uses.

You can use pigz with SSH as you can pipe commands over SSH (google it). If nc is faster than scp, I guess encryption is a factor, but then they're not comparable solutions to the same problem.
Add Instructables.com to that.

I'm not saying Verizon is blameless here, but it's a matter of 'would you rather be right, or happy?' I personally will take 'happy' more often than not. You're absolutely right, Verizon shouldn't find a 48h downtime window acceptable. However, their customers who defined their business requirements to include a separate-vendor DR platform sure are (comparatively) happy right now.

ES isn't really meant to be used as an operational datastore (although I appreciate some do use it that way). CouchDB provides strong durability and master-master replication. It's also very easy to sync changes from CouchDB (https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-river-couchdb) to ES so they make a good complimentary pair. Use CouchDB for the raw data (where you want strong durability and write scalability) and use ES to search over it.

That's fine for scaling reads - writes, not so much. The leader election in MongoDB has been problematic in the past (https://aphyr.com/posts/284-call-me-maybe-mongodb) but I think they have made recent moves to address this.
Make sure to add some fans, the LCD/TFT panel doesn't like the heat of a high-power halogen/xenon lamp! OP uses several fans too, to cool down the air around the xenon lamp: http://forum.allinbox.com/aspectgeek/Projetsencours/18/photo...

A friend converted an overhead projector (and a 1080p LCD panel) into a DIY projector, some years ago. His panel turned brown and broke because of too high air temperature.

As even the OP has cooling issues - lesson learned: Better use LED with 1000+ Lumen instead of a halogen/xenon lamp.
"Capitalism" and "communism" aren't operating systems that get installed on different countries but impose identical function.

The “too small to fail” memory-allocation rule
The current system (at least in Washington State) is one of if your car pollutes at a rate < x, you're legal. If it pollutes x+epsilon, you are illegal.

The rate of pollution has not much to do with the amount of pollution emitted, much like how fast you drive has little to do with how many miles you drive in a year.

The current system makes little practical or fair sense. A better system would be to annually measure the pollution rate of the car, multiply by the number of miles driven that year, and multiply by the tax rate.

This way, car buyers would not be solely concerned with their car passing the pollution test, but would be actively concerned with minimizing its emissions.
After working in 4 different international places, I came back to my hometown, the third biggest city of France. Most people I meet were born here. Not only, but they've never moved, never been unrooted. When you live in a left-driving country, you almost have to switch your brain hemispheres, and I can't enphasize that enough. Everything that sounded like a given to you, will be switched around, when you learn a third of the world drives on the left.

When you work on the top floor of a building with a view on the skyline, you know that having power and being a cog are the same thing.

When you've shaken hands with refugees who did succeed to land on Christmas Island (find Christmas Island on a map and you'll get it), you can't help wondering how many have fallen for your own life. People ask me why I came back home, I don't have an answer, apart from maybe having seen enough to be a little creative about life, career or politics.

On finding a partner. The problem is connecting with a soulmate here back home, people who have always been surrounded by a social fabric.

On politicians. How do you govern a country when you've never experienced other systems yourself?

Yes, well, academic training remains the best way to acquire truly cutting-edge skills and training. Or, in many cases, almost the only way (other than self-study of academic materials) to know that cutting-edge research exists at all, to know where the research frontier between the not-yet-possible and the possible actually is.

Of course smart people want to spend at least some time in academia: smart people don't want to give up before they've found the frontier of the possible. The smart and devoted people want to go beyond the impossible.

Sure you can :). Naturally transfers via SSH "suffer" from the encryption overhead but prevent MITM/network sniffing etc. The author points out that (only) in a trusted LAN you could use this solution to make things go faster.

I guess the title should be a little more mild - scp isn't going away, or rsync via SSH for that matter.

It is out of question that you can do it wrong without typing A-E-S: Crypto is hard, and you can always fuck up in an infinite amount of ways.
