True. You're unlikely to be using anything that's in 4.1 but not in 3.82, however. I wish the remake stuff would get merged into the main tree, but there're probably political issues there, or something.
As simonw points out, it produces a real problem with regard to MySQL and the way it handles its data source(s) in general, but more importantly, it's wholly unnecessary.

The right way to do that (in AWS world) would be RDS accessible to all instances in the security group. This yields locking control to the application level and not the file system. For obvious reasons this makes a lot of sense.

There are of course non-ACID / NoSQL solutions for which this might be an acceptable practice, but in general I'd say it's fraught with peril.

> When's the last time you actually installed drivers on a fresh Windows install?

On this very box, I bought a 8.1 pro license, and had to install drivers for my GPU (ATI r9), along with various other tidbits, which I've now forgotten. Oh, yeah, my usb sound card.

Granted, I needed to install the closed source drivers on the Linux side, but it was easier (enable non-free, aptitude install ...) -- and the soundcard worked out of the box.

At least the network card worked this time around on Windows (at least as far as I remember). So the only real hassle was that I needed a windows install from which to build the usb install stick. Thankfully I still dual-boot my laptop, so I could make the install image there.
The entire US Civil War was the asking and unambiguous answering of your question.

What makes a government of any age so important is that a military rebellion was attempted directly against the national government, and was brutally put down.

A crash is not a hang. Firefox never crashed, eventually linux asked if I wanted to kill it, but there was no segfault, no crash.
> JWZ used to say that Linux is only free if you don't value your time.

Used to say? How long ago was that?

Ubuntu and many other distros are incredibly easy and effortless to use. I know devs using apple products who spend more time mucking about with brew and other tools trying to accomplish things that are very easy to do on the most popular linux distros.
Thanks for the info. I've done some research on competitors and I'm trying to find the correct pricing vs my costs for the system. This is my first web service so I'm really just trying to figure out all the details on something simple that I haven't seen provided yet and go from there. Hopefully some people will find it useful, but I realize I have to keep my pricing in check but my costs in balance.
It isn't just Yosemite... I had exactly this behavior with Mavericks on a new MacBook last year. Fired up a Bluetooth mouse, and next time I opened the lid wireless had completely gone.

I've managed to get it working after a fashion, although not reliably, and have come to the conclusion that Apple just don't do wireless well.
Really shortsighted to think of the value as in the cash extracted from the student. The real value is that more people are educated. Ways that an educator can see the cash from that created value are various. They can make job referrals, they can do credentialing signaling, they can do ads, they can sell premium tools while providing free education on how the use the tools. So yeah, education can be free, should be free, and will be free (and in most cases are already free if you consider public schooling).

For what it was aiming to do, I think it makes a lot of sense, albeit it might be a little bit too factored for the data(e.g. passing in the whole world to functions called only once).

You can kind of tell that this is more "proof of concept" than "artistic triumph" because the scene itself is relatively bland stuff, with its most impressive aspect today being that the juggler actually animates somewhat like a person. Everything else is just a straightforward demonstration of the Amiga's compute resources and display capability. Since the output was always going to be a single prerendered animation, deep optimization probably wouldn't be worth it.
My firefox with noscript did not crash
> I'm surprised someone thinks this. To me most of it looks obviously dated.

I think this is mostly in the eye of the beholder. Is there really much difference in the use of materials and form/function? I'd argue it's a minor aesthetic difference.

Also, I'd also argue that a chair like this is postmodern in the same way as designing a server case out of wood would be: Nostalgia for wood and desire for modern structure, where other materials would do a far better job.

> Today many students want everything "spelled out". They seem to be continually looking for "defects" in problems, but not with the purpose of furthering their understanding by coping with ambiguity, but to provide an excuse for not even thinking further about the problem.

But shouldn't the burden be put on the educator to provide problem scenarios for understanding that aren't unrealistic? It just seems common sense to develop an uninterested attitude toward things that start out trying to prove by understanding a thing that could never happen.
Also that they were made for a certain kind of living, and we still generally live in the same kind of places.

Haha that's nice trivia. Of the sort you hold onto for just the right moment :)
Actually, it didn't crash my firefox 40.0a . It asked me eventually if I would like to stop running scripts on this page. Which I did and I am now typing this using the same Firefox instance. Only it now is using 4.6gb of memory. :)
I feel like this is more of a problem for people in their early 20s, when everything job-related feels like a bigger deal than it really is.
Think there's a lot of potential for this idea, especially for startups that are continuing to grow. As you onboard more and more engineers, the syncing of a dev environment with production becomes a huge pain point.

PCP can export many hundreds of Windows-specific counters (which it accesses via the PDH APIs). The Windows build does need some love though, as the OP mentioned - its out of date and needs a regular contributor to bring it up to date with the latest PCP sources.

To ignore taxes and to assume that you're only holding an S&P500 index, it's 2yearsfee (let's say $10 * 2 * 20==$400). Kind of insignificant.

To not ignore taxes though it becomes more clear. If you literally sell every May, you're never holding for more than a year. In the US at least you're always paying short term capitol gains. This is the real killer here.
Same thing when people say if you're not the customer, you're the product. That is a logical fallacy because you are still a product even if you pay for the software.
Have you read about what desegregation of schools in Alabama was like? That certainly doesn't sound like a society that was ready for federal action. The National Guard was federalized and had to push aside the Governor and crowds of protesting white people.
I use XFS everywhere I can: out of the box, it requires no tuning to get near maximum performance, yet I generally have to tune ext3/4 to get what I want (and, largely, I still consider that a bit of voodoo).

Problem is, I run a dedicated server hosting company, and the majority of my customers either want CentOS 6.x or Debian Stable. Neither can install XFS as the root filesystem (but can use it for other filesystems during install, strangely enough; separate ext2/3/4 /boot doesn't fix the issue).

At home I have a mini-server that is 2x M550 128GB SSD, 2x es.2 2TB HDD, with the SSDs partitioned as 16GB md raid1 XFS for /, 256MB for ZFS ZIL, rest for ZFS L2ARC, and the 2x2TB as ZFS mirror; /tank and /home are on ZFS, and / is pretty much empty.

The only thing that would improve XFS at this point is if it supported optional checksumming and LZ4 compression on root filesystems, otherwise its basically perfect.

By the way, said mini-server? Dual core Haswell 3.x GHz, 16GB of DDR3-1600, from pressing the power button, going through BIOS, hammering enter to get past grub menu as fast as possible, it takes about 7 seconds to get to the login prompt; less than 3 of that is between leaving grub and getting to the prompt.

That said, despite all the negative publicity, there were plenty of sympathizers in Alabama happily swimming against the tide in favor of desegregation.
something that behaves like a local file system (without the gotchas of NFS like a lack of delete on close), but I don't have to snapshot and create new volumes and issue file system expansion commands to grow a volume. I want seamless and automatic growth.

Ask HN: What do I do next?
I need help. I'm a PM at a somewhat successful mid-size tech company (pre-IPO). I've been here for a couple of years and am vested substantially. Recently, there was a minor re-org which led to some unpleasant dynamics between me and a couple of folks on the team. While the situation has recovered since then, it has left a bad taste in general and things have become too political.

It seems like my options are:

- Stay in the team and suck it up. This stuff happens and one needs to learn to play the game...

- Move to another team within the company. There are options...

- Move to a different company altogether (interestingly, at the same time as the crappy situation at work, a large+successful company reached out with an offer)

- Start my own company. I've done this before and after a couple of failed attempts I guess I've become a little risk averse. Having said that, I met a former colleague who pitched an idea that was IDENTICAL to what I had been thinking off myself... too tempting to be true...

What's weird is that all of these options have presented themselves at the same time. I can't complain. However, I am confused. How do I think about the pros/cons of each of these options? Has anyone been in a similar situation and has advice for me?
Joybird is nice stuff indeed. While acknowledging that they seem to be Thrive knockoffs, I did recently order a sofa and chair from them. Most of my case goods and tables are vintage though. It's amazing how well designed, well made 50-60 year old (mid-century) furniture still looks better than most things I can buy new, and probably still will in another 50 years.
Ditto.

It did hang for a bit (30s?) when closing the tab, however.
Never used a Lite, but I've got a HHKB Pro 2. As far as I understand the Lite keyboards have normal rubber-dome switches which feel like the old mushy keyboards we all grew up on.

For what it's worth, I've had my Pro 2 for almost 4 years now and it's still perfect. Such a delight to type on. I was a bit of a mechanical keyboard addict and went through a few before settling on this and I can't imagine using anything else now. It's solid and I'm sure will last me a few more years. So even though it is a much more expensive option, it's definitely been worth it for me.
"When's the last time you actually installed drivers on a fresh Windows install?"

This christmas. Building a new desktop for the first time in years. Bought high quality everything - Asus MB, Intel Quad core CPU, corsair memories etc. a fun and smooth experience.

I also bought Win 8.1 Pro, setup the machine for dual boot and then proceeded to install Win followed by Xubuntu. Gave me a good perspective on the state of the OSes.

Win install took much longer time, did not detect the AMD Radeon R9 card nor the Intel Eth interface on th MB. Or a lot of the peripherals. Using the supplied driver CD from Asus solved most of these, but not the GPU. To this day Win complains about some peripheral that it can't detect.

Xubuntu install was faster, smooth and did automatically detect all peripherals including Eth and GPU. And SW install using SW Center and Synaptic just works.

The Just Works used to be the perceived advantage of Win, and that Linux meant issues with drivers and fiddling with downloads from weird sites and manual builds.

It seems the world has flipped, mainly due to Linux progressing while Win really hasn't. Apart from the Metro/Modern interface that is there as well as the classic and you (read: I) end up being transferred between them.

I don't see how the quote has been taken out of context. That quote among many others make it very clear that Lincoln never was in favor of "full equality for black citizens". At the beginning of his presidency he promoted an amendment to the constitution which would have permanently protect slavery and forbid it from being outlawed. On another occasion he suggested that blacks should be exiled back to Africa. I could cite many more of his words making it abundantly clear he was not in favor of black equality. If Lincoln did not hold this "most ambitious aim" for the war, then who, having any say in the war, did? Why did not the persons holding this alleged aim, stop the mass rape and murder of "freed" slaves in the south by the Union liberators?

Even the much extolled Emancipation Proclamation did not end slavery--only in the confederate states. It was a military strategy.

>...national unity coalition of Republicans and Democrats

Why, if there was such a coalition, was it necessary for Lincoln to ignore the supreme court's decision against the illegal ending of habeus corpus, arrest and exile a congress man, and imprison countless northern journalists who wrote opposing the war?

It breaks things, so it's an issue.

It may not be one that they intend to fix, but it's still an issue regardless.
It all depends on where your coming from. The SAT test designers might want to promote the idea you should take and pay for the test several times to get lucky. I suspect this might be why they had pro guessing scores in the first place. They could also give you 4 points for the right answer and 3 for a blank question vs 0 points for a wrong answer. Which would penalize people that randomly guessed.

In any case this specific rule happens to benefit white men more than other groups so clearly that's going to bother people. As to the math idea, they score the English section independently so having people do math as part of the English section seems counter intuitive.

PS: I am a white male that happened to crush the SAT, but I also accept the test was biased in my favor.

I don't want to refute your argument point for point, but just reading the first sentence... It sounds like you're using "design" in the same way one might use "aesthetic". User Experience is just as much about engineering as it is aesthetic. It's a disservice to the craft of software engineering to meet design requirements as well as the engineering process of architecting a user interface to debase it as you do.
