At least he cares about NYC... Those of us in the rest of the state have very little positive to say about him... Whether it's stripping schools districts of funding and any sort of local decision making, or the NY SAFE Act (I'm very pro gun-control... the SAFE act was a _terrible_ bill, passed in a very shady way), he has been a singularly bad governor, in my opinion.

How many daily-use scripts do you suppose intentionally run `rm -rf /`? Cost-benefit for common use seams clearly in favour of adding a failsafe.

It's a good thing you can fix the script by adding that flag into them.
Your depression may well have felt like extreme sadness or grief. Why do you think your individual experience transfers to all other people with depression?

> IMO most cases of depression are caused by life events.

This is called "reactive depression". Do you have any real numbers, or are you just going by the people who you know? Some people mask their depression.
The problem with this is that all the cracks and pops happen at exactly the same moment whenever you replay the record; to a large extent, this is not so with vinyl, I suppose.
Yep, I read that and thought it was wrong. Double clicks require two clicks in a matter of milliseconds and they're e really hard for novice users, I'd read somewhere that Macs didn't use them - evidently that's now wrong, and I'm double clicking constantly but not realising.
There are a lot more than two ideologies in those terms.
Some people have enough influence that they can often pressure employers into sacking people who say offensive things. For them, real names are a huge benefit because they know who to try and get sacked. It's not so much of a win for anyone who doesn't have that kind of power, but fortunately no-one listens to their views anyway. Basically, there's a kind of structural problem where the "solutions" that get the most press are the ones that benefit the powerful, because they're the people driving the discussion.
Why not treat this the way a REST web service would?

Request 1 submits token

Request 2 submits token

Response 2 returns first with a 409 conflict

Response 1 returns with a 200 OK

It's a question of handling the error codes properly. 409 means resubmit with a new If-Match. Other 400-series errors indicate some other problem with the client's submission.

Actually, if I were reviewing the original author's proposal, I'd say that double-click should be disabled only on <form method="post">
>It's not a different art form, it is just an evolution of it. (user Unfamiliar, above) //

I think he's kinda right there when he goes on to note that the resulting final image from a digital process can be visually adapted to emulate what can be achieved with film.

But I also think you're right to note that the craft of chemical development is markedly different to digital photo processing (photoshopping or what-have-you) [with or without printing].

It makes me consider typewriters vs. wordprocessors; or a potters hands vs. a jigger [or jolley].

To my mind the road travelled to reach a final artistic presentation can be important even if the evidence of it is not present in the form or image itself.
The nice thing about B&W it is easy to develop at home so worst case after developing it is scanning it to get it into the computer.

Reading through the lines he didn't know the answer and rather than say so, he turned around and attacked you.

There is only one way to get around things like that and that is to keep pushing, but it requires the self-confidence that you are worth something which cannot be bootstrapped.
Pretty legendary system at the University of Michigan. The old timers still talk about all the time.
I'm not talking down on sex. I'm saying it's not the be all end all. That's what putting something on a pedestal means.

In my particular case it really fucked me up. Raging hormones, poorly socialized, no support network, bad luck, poor communication, and shitty judgement. Yay, puberty.

In general chasing sex for its own sake can be destructive.

That said if you come from an unbroken family, have a network of good relationships, and have learned to have a healthy attitude towards sex... then you're golden.

Of course you can't. But if leakage consume 25% of CPU power, then halving the frequency is still worth it. Leakage may be important, but that doesn't mean it dominates.

Now if as an app developer you have zero control over the CPU frequency, sure, the best strategy is probably to write your code to be as fast as possible. But if you're really big on battery life, someone will have control over CPU clocking or voltage. In which case race to sleep is no longer the only viable strategy.
What's the point of posting a link to a very old release announcement? 2.2.1 is the latest version.
I am currently struggling with NetApp support. After 2 weeks of constant effort they finally admitted of disk latency.

More digging revealed that they sold an under performing system at a inflated cost to run MS exchange 2010. NetApp do not add any value since Exchange do not need or actually utilise any of the features.

NetApp's WAFL( write anywhere) and insistence on using 4k block for disk io is the biggest design fault. Most systems nowadays uses bigger IO blocks to get more throughput with less IOPS.

Files on the disk also becomes highy files on the disk. Ironically they recommend to keep the defragmentation process turned off because there controller do not have enough comute powere to run the process in production. This is completed dishonest but very cleaver as it helps them sell more disks if customer doesn't dig deeper or don't have competence to ask right questions.

Another laughable design choice. Your size of SSD pool is very limited (12 TB on a FAS6000 series filer).
> I sometimes wonder if all long term improvement in all treatment modalities can be attributed to The Placebo Effect, poorly designed/collated drug/treatment studies, and the brain repairing itself with time?

Some cases probably can, but it's not very plausible that such things explain all treatment effects, which are occasionally quite dramatic. Also, many studies include a "waiting list" group to control for the effect of simple passage of time. There are of course many, many, many poorly-designed studies out there; this is not by any means unique to psychiatric drugs, or even medicine in general.

> I do think any patient that has been on a psychotropic drug(especially the addictive ones) a long time, should be able to get that particular drug without seeing a Psychiatrist. I know that will never happen on the U.S.

As far as I know, any licensed MD/DO can prescribe psychotropic drugs in the US. Some choose not to prescribe some classes of drugs (e.g. antipsychotics, MAOIs) because they tend to have more risks associated with them. However, the same can be said for psychiatrists. There are a few psychiatrists who explicitly refuse to prescribe drugs at all, except in the process of discontinuing a pre-existing treatment. Many doctors will also refuse to prescribe the more addictive drugs out of fear of enabling addiction (this is a huge problem for people with chronic pain, as is the FDA's requirement of "abuse-resistant" pills for oxycodone that just happened to be announced on the same day as the original OxyContin patent expired...)

> After hearing that Robin Williams committed suicide and the last tabs open on his IPad were the side effects of the various drugs he was taking, I wonder if he would still be alive if he didn't have access to the best Psychiatrists?

There's a risk of iatrogenesis for treatment of virtually any condition. But I think it's far more likely that the drugs in question simply didn't work for him, or stopped working suddenly (this can happen after long periods of treatment with psychotropic drugs, and as far as I know most patients aren't warned about it; I certainly never was).
> The problem is that it's hurting local startups and businesses there.

It's not obvious that this is true.

What Your Open Source Culture Really Says, Part One by Shanley Kane
>Sheep is a great, underrated novel.

Brunner is a great, underrated writer, well ahead of the curve on cyberpunk, econo-politics, and libertarian dystopias - and even further, on ideas that are so far into the future they aren't even part of the futurology zeitgeist yet.
Let's see:

(1) Fifth grade, I got a trumpet so
rode the city bus downtown, 7 miles,
to music lessons.

(2) Once also downtown there was a movie
I wanted to see so got a little extra
cash and went to the movie after the
music lesson.

(3) About then on radio I heard Beethoven's 7th
Symphony. So, when the NY Phil came to town,
I got a ticket and rode the bus, right,
to downtown, 7 miles away.

(4) After school, I did what I wanted,
went exploring.

(5) Soon I got a bicycle so rode it
to and from school and otherwise was
GONE on my bicycle, commonly rode
five miles away, once about 10 miles
to the next state.

(6) When about 11, visited a friend
my age
in the country. He had a motorcycle,
and we went "two up" for miles and
miles.

Onion solution for the threat of abduction
and harassment of children in MD,
not entirely in jest:
Put
the MD police and CPS
in diapers in bed overnight,
and in the morning have them write
500 times "I will not be a fool".
Have all their travels out of
house or office supervised with
a leash and a GPS ankle bracelet.
Four days a week have them wear an
orange jump suit with lettering
"I am a fool" and work on their knees with
a toothbrush washing the sidewalks.
For the next year, have them do
15 minute check ins with actually
competent adult supervision.

Much simpler solution: Drastically
cut the budgets of the police and CPS.

Likely actual solution: Have the
MD police and CPS lose a big law suit,
and have that legal case provide
cover for the bloodless bureaucrats
that put up with such nonsense
to tell the hysterical busy-bodies
to cool it.

They also don't accept nobody with a criminal record. Like everybody who was convicted of a crime is a danger to society.
What I don't understand is on their flagship product, an all SSD drive array, they claim 500,000 IOPS (sustained I/O rate), yet i have heard of many people doing more than 1 million IP's/s in http and in database. If others can do a million how are they if something that is seemingly as fast as can be with an all SSD system can only do half that at a pure I/O level no less.
It could be the exception that proves the rule:

http://atlas.wolfram.com/01/01/34/01_01_1_34.html
I think this is kind of antithetical to the Unix philosophy.

If you add special exceptions for things like "rm -rf /" then you start to wonder, why not add exceptions for other dangerous things, like "find / -delete" and "rm -rf /usr".

In general, most of the basic Unix tools operate off of relatively simple first principles and don't contain exceptions for things like this.

For Lifestyle businesses growth is also a priority. But margins like -715.90%(!!!) (Hortonworks) or -54.87% (New Relic) shows massive immaturity as a business. Post-IPO businesses in such early-stage has a big threat to the tech industry. If they fail (there is a big chance to bankrupt within a year without funding, according to their financial metrics), they make more hard to float for other companies later.
http://3dprint.com/38783/3d-printed-surgical-tools-mars/ I've had the fortune to help test out a few things with the Mars Society - not much to report there yet, although we can now 3d print a scalpel (including the blade, yes).

I'm conflicted on releasing the design, as it's also a thing that can easily be taken past a metal detector. Violence should stick to fists and bites.

Other people in this thread have claimed, based on their own experience, that severe depression is nothing like sadness. So for me it's useful to see both sides (I'm not discounting either). It seems a bit one sided for you to criticize this post on this ground, and not the others.
The Power of Starting with Yes
Yeah but nowadays, the internet remembers everything. This is why scientists should blog often.
I don't think that Facebook asks for real names to prevent bullying. It's a policy to help advertising metrics and create a community rooted in the real world. Bullying happens regardless of those rules anyways.

The biggest issue with Twitter is that their system doesn't encourage positive behavior. On HN, Reddit and other forum software value is added to an anonymous identity over time and with the involvement of it's user. Mechanisms like votes are in place to provide a feedback to the user. Account ranking and age gives you credence. It's still possible for users to commit social suicide but it becomes less likely once the account has been padded with history. Twitter on the other hand has two metrics: following and followers.
That feat was a hell lot more difficult in the last century, you know?
Is this a criticism, a (late) prediction, a "captain obvious" recap?

It's so vague as to essentially add zero value to the discussion.
And I remember the Sun X4500 - specifically intended to be a NetApp killer: a bucketload of disk, with ZFS.

Unfortunately it didn't actually work out much cheaper to buy or run.
>Your depression may well have felt like extreme sadness or grief. Why do you think your individual experience transfers to all other people with depression?

I'm not necessarily saying it does. There may be different types of depression. However I'm saying that this particular type of depression that I experienced definitely was extreme sadness, and it's pretty obvious that that is the case if you have experienced it. It's like saying that a colour is a slightly darker shade of blue.

>This is called "reactive depression". Do you have any real numbers, or are you just going by the people who you know

No, it is just an observation of people I know who have had depression.

Andrew Ng's Talk on GPU Technology Conference

My guess is that they would sue the Post Office if a postal worker ran them down too.
So instead of code breaking explicitly, you'd rather it breaks implicitly?

You're really foolish if you believe that's better. The print keyword isn't what is preventing 3k adoption.

Because lots of the internet is being served off raspberry pis located in peoples' living rooms? Don't be deliberately obtuse.
Real name is a simplification. It assumes that users are less likely to misbehave because they can't change their identity. This is also true for other systems where users can invest value into their accounts but still have the option of anonymity. HN is an example of those.

Also, bullies tend to be bullies regardless of the rules.
Internet.org is a failed exercise in misdirection
Go on, fire up a cheap VPS somewhere like DigitalOcean and run "rm -rf / --no-preserve-root". Maybe I am too easily amused but as a long-time Linux user on the desktop this is one of those things I always wanted to try. After it runs, you can't even shut down or run anything else, you just kill the SSH session.
I think 4kb blocks is the biggest design fault and performance killer for databases. They claim to store blocks serially if IO size is larger than 4kb but in practice I haven't seen it working very well.
I got to the first logical argument - Bertie experiences a green thing - and could not continue: This is a valid deductive argument against materialism.

Bollocks.

Bertie sees a green thing. Green light impinges on his eyes, which creates electrochemical reactions in his nervous system, and, eventually, his brain. There is never any green thing in Bertie's brain, there are communication patterns. And they are eminently physical and material.

These patterns give rise to others, some of which are patterns of recall of either knowledge or emotion, cascading communications, none of which are green, sad, or have to do with the colour of the jacket in which his father was buried, e.g. (I'm making all of this paragraph up for illustrative purposes.)

Bertie recalls a green thing. Using mechanisms we are only now beginning to understand, Bertie causes those patterns to repeat, triggering many of the same reactions elsewhere in his brain. Again, none of the things in his brain are green, sad, a jacket, a funeral, etc., but all of these things are physical, material, measurable.

We just don't know how to measure them at fine enough detail, but we have reliable hypotheses backed by apparently valid conceptual theories, etc., to make us believe we are on the right track.

I find it very hard to leave this whopper of an error aside and continue with the article.

If someone else is less lazy and more forgiving than me, please tl;dr! Thanks.

The same people who seem to hate open source culture are the ones saying we should be accepting of all cultures. It's hard to take them seriously, especially since "open source" is made up of all demographics by its very nature.

I'm not sure of any race, sex, religion, or ideology that is banned from participating in open source, perhaps the diversity of open source is the root cause of conflict. Perhaps creating a mono-culture environment where conflict is prevented by forcing contributors to assimilate into one dominant group-think ideology is a better format. Hitler seemed to think so.

It makes you wonder, if the tech sector is so "un-diverse" how do so many start-ups seem to be multicultural? According to the critics, stuff like this just can't happen naturally, so somewhere down the line someone took race/sex/religion into account during the hiring process and intentionally discriminated against someone else.

To spare others the rather extreme fluff and constant self-derailing of the article:

A scientist who worked with various kind of non-drinkable alcohols died by methanol overdose and this was only found out and investigated much later, with no real conclusion made beyond the assumption that he probably didn't poison himself; but a bottle of liquor he had and emptied maybe, possibly might've been spiked with methanol and he could've died from that. No actual facts are known though, and nobody who might have access to any facts cares to talk to the person doing the investigating.

Only if you focus too much at the edges. The first book is almost completely outside the Culture. Much of the other books deal with "Special Circumstances". But the underlying society is one that sounds rather blissful. Do anything, anytime. Become anything as you wish. A hyperintelligent AI at your call every minute.

I imagine stories of endless parties, people switching genders, getting high and playing a myriad of amazing games, pursuing arts of any form, screwing aliens or AI avatars -- it just wouldn't make terribly interesting reading, for the most part. Hence you've gotta add tension and some nastiness to make it a fun space opera, despite such things happening to less than a billionth of your citizens. Sorta like ST:TNG - sure a lot of the universe sucks, but for the most part, life seems pretty rosy if you're not the subject of an episode. TNG also provided that positive feeling in me, apart from hating the Prime Directive.
this kinda thing is mostly UNINTENTIONAL discrimination.. not INTENTIONAL.
Meeting people is nice, but only if they are quality people. Otherwise, I'd rather not. There aren't many of these in the town I live in, but I know they are here, at least some of them. How to meet these people?

"Quality" might sound snobby or something so let me qualify... people who are intelligent, people who are motivated, people who have a sense of humor, people who aren't dishonest with intent to take unfair advantage of others, people who take basic care of their personal hygiene and fitness, people who are open minded (i.e. not racist etc), people who don't have chronic hard drug habits, people who are not religious fundamentalists or involved with some fringe political ideology, people who are interested and interesting....

All of these (or lack thereof) are deal breakers in my book. Call me uncharitable, but I'd rather be by myself than associate with them. I've met too many people in life who have simply wasted my time or taken from me without giving back. Where are the quality people? Make an app for that and I'm on board!

Get a job at a startup with less than ten employees and with a good engineering team. Don't worry too much about making $20-$30k less. You'll learn a lot with a good attitude and find a mentor naturally. And chances are you'll make up for "lost income" eventually.
