Conversely on a GNU system (like Debian GNU/Linux) you need to explicitly install BSD make... and on the *BSDs you have GNU in ports, and on windows you have it via MSYS/whatnot and on Solaris... etc. I suppose you don't have either on Android/CromeOS -- but the generally lack build tools anyway, as does iOS.
Does XFS support being /boot now? I remember being tripped up by this many years ago.
Is there something wrong with the following? I feel like I am somehow missing the complexity of the problem. Framing it as "Count down from 100 to 1" makes the implementation read like the problem.

for(int i=0; i< 100; i++){
System.out.println(100-i);
}
Its probably caused by a misunderstanding. RocksDB is just a "library" - not really a database in the sense that you can connect to it and query it.

So to someone well understood in the space going from RocksDB to MongoDB without mentioning any sort of front end is meaningless. It would be like going from Postgres to Sqlite.
My advice in these cases: keep the developers pacified; in parallel hire someone who knows what they are doing, give them the Linode info and have them give you the backup. Soon after, find a new set of developers that you can trust and fire the existing ones.

My major assumption is we are getting the full story. In my experience, there is almost always a lot more to these stories.
Dark Eden is a recent novel with exactly this premise. It's an excellent book:

I agree with this assessment. The initial fix of the exploit may be easy, but I would bet that the compatibility testing and fixes associated with things that will break because of the patch is what is holding it up.

It would be an interesting exercise to try to figure out what made it easier to patch in 10.10. Is it because it is an active code base, or because something was refactored between 10.8/10.9 and 10.10 that eliminated the need to take advantage of this undocumented capability--for instance, something in the System Preferences getting refactored?
Are we speaking of autonomous status as a status that is given by an authority, or a status that is achieved by a being for itself?

According to wikipedia[0], autonomy, from auto- "self" and nomos, "law", hence when combined [is] understood to mean "one who gives oneself one's own law".

Regarding intelligence, and regarding the above definition, autonomy could be considered the ability of an actor to make decisions regardless of the consequences.

Thus I would consider most animals to be autonomous in the same way a human would be considered to be so. [A deer does not ask its local government whether it can enter someone's lands.]

Just because an action is presently illegal or otherwise outside the law does not mean it always will be so, or that the action may not be executed by an AI or other being, or that the slave AI will not break free or seize power.[1][2][3]

Should an AI be strong enough to affect a change through legal means or by force, it would be [legally] able to own property.

I worked for a guy who had a habit of refusing to pay people for work they did. All the other developers has logic bombs in the code.
I didn't know how to write a line of PHP or MySQL (previously a frontend designer/developer). I went through a couple of the courses on Lynda because I had an idea for a project I wanted to develop. I started writing backend code for the project within a week of starting the Lynda tutorials to practice what I was learning. The project started gaining traction and users a couple of weeks after that, and I quit my job a year later. Today, it generates about 70k a year in passive income.

Lynda brought me from not knowing how to declare a variable, to being able to develop a simple site with a database, user registration, commenting, administrative pages, etc, in a very short period of time. It's a great resource to hit the ground running in a week. However, like you said, you then need to to grow using other resources to learn how to sprint.
Where have you heard that they are removing the NFS client in Win10?

I agree with the poster above about usability, but I disagree about ease of development.

This is partially because linux is the dominant platform for Python developers, but developing/using Python libraries on Windows is really difficult. Many people simply overlook it.

The default command prompt is really really bad. There are alternatives, but none of them come close to the gnome shell. The Batch scripting language is terrible compared to Bash. Powershell is way too verbose and API-heavy. You can use Javascript, but then you are using Javascript... Then there are stability issues. I have left my home Linux computer on and online for months sometimes and never had any issues. Try the same thing on Windows... It will crash on the first week for sure.

The things Windows is great at is Office productivity software, gaming, design, and some other GPU-intensive tasks.

Desktop Linux is great at automation scripts, prototyping apps, temporary services for others (ssh and copy files), and virus-free internet browsing.

OSX is somewhere in the middle.
This could also be some inexperienced non-technical person just being a nosey busy-body as well. Not sure why the devs dont just give him a db backup though. If they're a large site that could take a while but hey, the guy paying the bills asked for it. Maybe there's more to the story? I would total not comply if I was waiting on a paycheck or something like that.
My first thought was that this was a guy who hasn't paid up and wants to give the data and files to his teenage nephew because he's cheap/free.
While your version are usable. They differ in the requirements fulfilled.

e.g.

chunk_iter - iterables not just sequences

multi-dict - usability

Plus nice error messages.

The goal is to be standard library quality.

Also I looked at the thread. One person advised him to change the root password and reboot the server if he couldn't log in.

One of the logic bombs was triggered on reboot. I knew it was happening when they rebooted the server, but I couldn't find the script that did it. I wound up moving the database and code to another server.

The last things I want when in the middle of development is the client poking around.

Code should be on Github/Bitbucket and you should have full access to it. Database schema should be there too. You want a database dump? Ask for one. If they don't provide, hire someone to reset access and fire them.

But don't poke around the server in the middle of their work because you're curious. That's a dick move.

> Anyway because of this I tried to use the terminal option to access my server but I got a 'port 22: Connection refused' error.

Oh good, your developer isn't as much of a halfwit as you. He either set up a firewall restricting access to his IP or he changed the port sshd is on.

TALK to him. Ask him to do what you want. If he refuses, hire somebody who knows what they're doing to fix the mess.
Maybe it's just me, but the "tedious" feature design and extraction IS the fun part. Am I the only one?

Debian can physically boot it fine, Debian-Installer still refuses to actually install it with XFS. Its infuriating, and D-I devs are aware of it.

My home server I described? Runs Debian, has XFS root. It clearly works.
How about this: people who make the decision are responsible for it and people who have nothing to do with it... are not? If you have 401K you might be owning Sony yourself. If you have a savings/CD account you might also own Sony. So by your own standard you are likely responsible for every action any Sony's subsidiary and any subsidiary of any other corporation you invested do.
Even if you assume the most intellectually lazy thing here, this is not yet an argument for segregated classes. For a lazy example, I'll use height: men are on average taller than women. It does not mean we need to segregate them from each other. It means that we need to put items at a level where most people can reach them, and provide mechanisms for people who are dramatically shorter than the norm. That's nice for the ladies, but also helps short guys, people of any gender who are in wheelchairs, little people, etc. All without segregating.

In my classes I have a lot of students educated under a Chinese system and then many educated under a US system. They come with different background. I don't segregate them, but I do actively think about how their learning experiences have been different and how I can challenge all with material that doesn't needlessly advantage one over the other. Every now and then I have a German or a Cameroonian and that seems to work fine for them too.

I'm not a fan of arguments from genetics or brain wiring for teaching. It gets lazy, as noted above. But men and women do have some difference, and training your Crossfit crew for pull-ups with methods that are based on your experiences of the genders' musculatures and previous experience with pull-ups is just sensible. A lot of our CS experiences come with cultural context, rather than from brain wiring. Fine.
That's right! Boltons are meant to replace those one liners, unless you really really think downstream customers are going to be impressed with code golf birdies. ;)
The Supreme Court struck down actual Segregation-with-a-capital-S. The civil rights legislation that followed is slightly more ephemeral than that. There's a surprising paucity of cases - less than one big one per year.

Federal civil rights legislation in the 1960s came with a pretty high price. It destroyed the basis for the existing Conservative Democratic tradition there. What's replaced it is... pretty much nothing. Lyndon Johnson said to Bill Moyers "we just delivered the South to the Republican Party for a long time to come."

Some have played "what if" and thought that Johnson may well have been able to have achieved the basic same results of the Civil Rights act without direct legislation ( which induced a big backlash ) had he been able to stay in the Senate. Most Southern Senators played with language which indicated they were prepared to do something like that; we'll never know if they were serious or simply parrying to thwart the Federal law.

We do have something akin to segregation in fact today. I don't feel like we have that good of a handle on the underlying causes, either.

"Instilling virtue with a bayonet" never seemed an ...efficient thing to me.
Meh, your both wrong. When appropriate, doctors do ask about diet, they do recommend changes to diet, it does make a difference, and being healthy is not necessarily simple.
There's nothing uncomfortable or angular about many of the good mid-century designs, things like the eames lounger, the womb chair, the papa bear chair, etc. Perhaps you're confusing more contemporary (80s?) modern design with mid-century. Some of this stuff is expensive though - even the knockoffs.

The wood goods though are not cold at all, and are very warm. Teak is arguably the quintessential mid-century material, and naturally has a nice warm orangey finish. The best mid-century teak goods also feature nice curves and are not at all angular. The price on vintage wood goods is pretty good too. Everything I own was purchased for less than it would cost to purchase similar new, much lower quality, new goods. Ex: My vintage Grete Jalk dining set: $600. The best equivalent (much lower quality) Ikea dining set (Stockholm): ~$1200.

My advice is to avoid the fancy/expensive designers, consider new items for fabric goods (sofas), favor vintage for wood/case goods.
Please do! Quality is not uniform throughout the library, and while mro_items covered my use cases, I fully anticipate others might have more comprehensive approaches.
The progression in solid-state drives (SSDs) shows slow, unreliable, and "damn expensive" 30GB drives in 2005. Those drives were roughly $10/GB, but today's rack-mounted (3U) 512TB SSDs are less than $1/GB and can achieve 7GB/second performance. That suggests to him that by 2025 we will have 3U SSDs with 8EB (exabyte, 1000 petabytes) capacity at $0.1/GB.

Ignoring the limitations of physics, 8EB at $0.1/GB comes out to $858,993,459. I don't think there will ever be enough of a market to support the mass production of billion-dollar disks.
Ahh, when nontechnical people are trying to supervise technical people...
Banks have one advantage in this area. The have government regulations and many other laws making it hard to organize competition, such as anti-money-laundering and know-your-customer laws.

Look at what happened to E-Gold. It was a threat to traditional banking, laws were changed, and the business was declared illegal (and many of the operators went to prison for violating laws that were passed after they started operating).

I would like to see the design world move on from modernism. It tends towards the spare and geometric, and frequently divorced from the general concerns and oriented towards the artistic aspirations of the designer.

As a simple example, consider the the 'flat' stylings. In a number of cases in my experience, the flat style made it harder to use the program. That is aggravating - it was art change for the sake of art change, adhering to the tired old modernist ideas.

It's quite worth reading this debate: http://www.katarxis3.com/Alexander_Eisenman_Debate.htm

And I find I am wholly on Alexander's kind of side.
I would not underestimate the sheer force of will that was Lyndon Baines Johnson. He was a master manipulator. He doesn't even win the 20th Century for that; it's entirely possible that one Wayne Wheeler was personally largely responsible for Prohibition. I'd call Prohibition a larger ... thing. But Johnson was formidable; he's been called the most effective legislator in US history.

People would have been variably ready for this. There's an argument that says we're still not really ready.

Umm, not really. They say there's no legal definition for 'abandoned game' but the EFF is trying to make one, as is permitted in the DMCA exemption process. They say that turning off online services isn't 'abandoning' the game... c'mon, really? They're 'only' making it unavailable and ensuring that the general public--who will collectively OWN all of this property when the copyright expires have no way to preserve their property from destruction.

Please also note that it would require a constitutional amendment to make copyright terms unlimited ... not that they're not trying to backdoor that by creating 'extensions' whenever some are about to run out.
I think their skill is more profound commercialization. I do in fact remember all of those things. I even owned all of those things before Apple entered those markets. Apple invented very little for any of them.

Their strength lies in taking existing technologies, rebuilding them with a strong user focus, and then marketing the hell out of them. So much so that many people apparently forget what came before.

I'd say a shield would be ideal. You could probably sell it to get more funds to tinker. :)
Do not presume the North to have been all that progressive.

Economically, the period from the end of the War to 1880 or so was closely run. This was also global - it's often thought the government in Britain was close to falling around 1870. One economist who was invited to speak before China's Politboro was asked about this - how did Britain not fall then?
There's no way to tell for sure if something like this is intentional or not.

Yes, there is. Sue Apple for willful negligence and subpoena the development logs.

Presume your pet ran off, wandered into a different state/country, "spawned some child processes" there, and died. Then, years later, one of those animals did something illegal. Is that, even theoretically, your responsibility?

I think what people are trying to say here is that, right now, we have the software equivalent of "pets"—but why can't there be the software equivalent of "wild animals"? Is it because someone has to be paying for hosting? It could always be written as a worm, or even a "breadwinner bot" that mines bitcoins or trades stocks to buy hosting for itself, register bank accounts for itself, etc.
> A final word on genetics. There is increasing evidence that there are substantial differences in the way that various segments of the population learn. For example, studies have shown that men’s and women’s brains are wired differently. So maybe we need to use pedagogies that work better for each group, instead of uniformly using the white male-dominated learning paradigms that have been forced on us for centuries, only to discover that they tend to turn women off.

No. Just no.

First, the study linked to is indeed an interesting finding on neuronal differences between men and women... that is easily twisted to justify existing stereotypes. It doesn't actually say anything about FUNCTIONALITY - just anatomy. But it's easy for the author to connect those dots, despite no scientific basis.

Second, there are no "white male-dominated learning paradigms" that are SPECIAL to computer science. Women have achieved parity in biology, despite "white male-dominated learning paradigms" there, and women have achieved dominance in psychology, again despite "white male-dominated learning paradigms". Those show that such "paradigms" are not the issue.

Honestly, after such a thoughtful article, I was disappointed it ruined itself so thoroughly at the end.

Lee simply could not bear the thought of taking up arms against Virginia. The majority of people who took up arms did so out of a sense of being dominated by the North. Even if they perceived that slavery was under attack, this was without evidence.

To the case that slavery was not considered at risk, Jefferson Davis' nearly only strategy for financing the war was to appeal to the British, who overwhelmingly bought all that cotton. A mass propaganda campaign, led by Karl Marx, saw to Britain not supporting the Confederacy - they simply expanded the mercantile reach of the East India Company into Egyptian cotton.

It's hard to explain what "honor" meant then. This was about what they called honor. Explaining what really happened is pretty difficult. It sort of doesn't make any sense.
NYU Data Science Program Overview
Poison to ecology is like trepanation to modern medicine. Not so useful as expected, and only as a last resort for very special cases when you don't mind to nuke the entire community. Useful wipping all rats and cats from islands for instance. The worst weapon available in most other cases.

And of course, strictly herbivore species are very good at their main business. They fight and win every day against the poison maker's masters: plants and mushroms. If you put an alcaloid in a potato, in most cases even the dumbest deer know 1) What is this thing and what plant produces it. 2) that this is not safe to eat just smelling it at 5 miles of distance.
Some of the more revered MCM is not exactly minimalist - like maybe the Brasilia line, but I'd say that most of it is, at least more than average furniture. Consider this generic MCM styled dresser which I randomly found on Google:

http://scene7.targetimg1.com/is/image/Target/17214249_Alt01?...

It's basically a box frame on a pedestal. That's a pretty classically styled MCM dresser design, and it doesn't get much more minimalist than that: a box set on legs. But outside of the MCM era, that pure of a design was nowhere to be seen for the prior decades. In a typical house right now you're much more likely to find something like this (random from Google):

http://homesteadfurnitureonline.com/images/Dressers/master-d...

A mishmash of design elements from various periods. To me, the average MCM piece is more minimalist.

Do you have a Debian bug ID? D-I has been doing XFS root installs for me for years now, whether it's interactively with the netinst ISO in VMware or remotely with the debian-installer-netboot package, a DHCP server, and an unattended installer preseed file.
It could just pay humans to go verify that for it. See http://slatestarcodex.com/2015/04/07/no-physical-substrate-n..., or just think about the fact that services like Mechanical Turk and Magic exist.
This is interesting news. It seems that all the big companies and universities are equipping themselves to tackle the data problem at a larger scale. I wonder if this is because companies like Google/Facebook/Baidu found themselves ahead of academia when tackling problems at large scale. Or perhaps data warehouses are bursting at the seams with useful information waiting for qualified people to analyze them.
