It's a choice. Windows specifically uses DLLs as non-dirty swap, i.e. if the memory manager want's to free up pages it may free memory pages used for mapping a least recently used DLL because it will not require it to write any "dirty" memory. A DLL page can never be dirty. Windows knows that it really easy to read in the image again (from the DLL) - so it can just kill the page and reuse it immediately. But then it has to know that it can get the exact same memory page back from the DLL. If the DLL has been deleted or changed that would lead to some strange errors.

You're going to have to come up with a significantly better marketing paradigm than positioning in order to fix this. The basic idea behind positioning is that customer education is hard, it's much easier to piggyback onto another company's success when it comes to telling them what you can do for them.

Burger King had it easy. They let McDonalds do all the hard work of figuring out where to put restaurants, and Burger King just put theirs across the street.

Taglines, being the most heavily compressed medium possible for a startup to convey themselves, are simply that much more prone to positioning-speak. There is exactly zero room for customer education, all you can do is position.

Personally I think the way forward is to de-emphasize taglines, and move towards short blurbs. The startup space is entirely too crowded for USPs to easily conveyed in a single statement. But everyone expects you to be able to anyway.

And when a library has a security update, the software which contains it does not get updated, because it's repackaged by 10,000 different software companies that don't care or don't have the resources, and they sit side by side, and disk usage is way bigger than linux. This is partly fixed by the fact that installing software is such a pita and hard to automate that you don't install much 3rd party software on windows.

It's clever, but not exactly relevant to the GP's comment. pwnat requires the initiator to know the IP of the target host, so some form of external seeding is still required.

If you haven't gotten to the much later comment by the same person (Dave Chinner, one of the developers working on XFS), I recommend reading it: he goes into much more depth on the issues involved with seek latency, expains why XFS is slower, and points out that as fragmentation increases (which he points out in the post you link is still entirely ignored by Tux3) the performance of the filesystem will first decrease to that of XFS and then continue past (so you can't say that Tux3 is optimized for usage on spindles vs XFS: it is simply benchmarking really really well on a "new" filesystem).

Couple of my thoughts.
1. Don't forget the power of volume. Use all job searching channel available online and offline.
2. Freelancing site is always a good options if you are building your portfolios if you have time.
3. Maximize all your network. Think creative how you can reach the contact you need. Go to places recruiters hangout. Linkedin Group is also a good place to find those people.
4. Most important part, be able to answer the questions "How can I help your company/How can I help you make more money", bottomline is if you can bring value to a company that can justify the cost of hiring you, there is no reason they won't hire you (Usually salary (eg. 50,000) should equal to 1/5 (250,000) to 1/10 (500,000) of your productivity)
There's the WinSxS and the GAC (Global Assembly Cache). In SxS actually means side-by-side. Both WinSxS and the GAC supports multiple versions of the same libraries, and the program manifests set up policies for which library versions they require/accept.

An application may for instance say that it accepts any newer "minor" version.

For security patching you can replace a library with a new "build". So if an application uses libraries placed in WinSxS or the GAC it will pick up any centrally patched libraries without the risk of jumping to a too new version with breaking changes. The new version can exist alongside older versions and they can all be patched - for security reasons or otherwise.

A vendor can also distribute libraries alongside the application - in the application library itself. In that case the responsibility for patching is placed squarely on the vendor of that application.
Yes, it does advance the conversation. You wrote:

"Though the article is sensationalized linkbait, unnecessarily showing pictures of the damage, the story is an affirmation of Airbnb's good business practice of mitigating risk to the owners."

That is way over the top...so far over the top that a reasonable person could conclude that you are perhaps conflicted. If you do work for Airbnb, I won't attack you for defending your company (I've defended far worse), but I sure wish that you would disclose that.

As for whether or not this article is newsworthy, once again, a police constable senior enough to speak to the media used some very strong language to describe the scene inside and the pictures were absolutely shocking. If the estimate of $50 - $75k proves correct, this was a deliberate and prolonged attempt to destroy.

I could see an editor deciding that it was worth running this story to warn potential Airbnb hosts of what could happen. This story originally ran on Calgary's local CTV station and in that market, it was certainly news. Especially since Calgary's economy is slumping and some Albertans (with their highest levels of personal debt in Canada) are likely more than tempted to make some quick money.

This echoes the tribulations of the original Starcraft devs. [1]

> ...based on my experiences the biggest problems in StarCraft related to the use of doubly-linked linked lists. Linked lists were used extensively in the engine to track units with shared behavior. [...] Some of the link fields were shared among several lists, so it was necessary to know exactly which list an object was linked into in order to safely unlink. And some link fields were even stored in C unions with other data types to keep memory utilization to a minimum. So the game would blow up all the time. All the time.

Serialising game state to disk was done by moving all those scattered objects into a contiguous memory block, re-link, save to disk, and then restore the game engine's internal state.

> It was necessary to fixup all the link pointers (taking special care of unioned pointer fields) so that all 1600 units could be written at once. And then unfixup the link pointers to keep playing. Yuck.

I feel like pushing back on that a bit. Yes, HN has such people; it's a large community and envy is part of human nature. You could just as easily say "see any sufficiently sized group".

What HN also has, though, are commenters who celebrate success rather than envying it, and commenters who have been through this stuff and know a lot about it.

It's not a merely academic point. Anyone who comments on HN is part of it, so we're talking about ourselves.

This needs considerably more content. I find that 'graphical' linear algebra becomes a powerful tool when it is used to develop visual intuition for concepts such as determinants (areas/volumes in space and what it means for this quantity to be zero), solutions to linear systems (intersecting lines/planes/hyperplanes), subspaces (lines embedded in planes/hyperplanes and planes/hyperplanes embedded in planes), why a transform from R^2 -> R is not invertible (collapsing a plane into a line) what an eigenvector looks like and how it relates to other matrix properties such as invertibility (with illustrative examples such as a scaling matrix and a rotation matrix)

Having said that, I like the lego analogy for direct sums and why they don't commute. It explains concepts a lot more abstract than the basics of linear algebra. I was not expecting that from the title
8chan is still quite a niche forum when compared to the sheer size of 4chan. There are a lot of *chan forums out there with varying popularities.
A handy resource for comparing these is https://nnmm.nl/chanstat/. A great example is comparing the most popular board of both forums /g/ (/tech/), /pol/, /v/ and /b/. I'm quite familiar with the drama that was happening half a year ago during GG and the /pol/ purge. Blaming such events on SJWs instead of the internal conflicts that have been going on on boards/across boards for ages is narrow minded.
> Hence the lowest paying of all jobs are the most fiercely fought for.

That does not sound like a healthy economy to me.

Minimum wage is for employees with minimal skills. Almost always that should mean entry level positions. You don't want to run a business where the bulk of your workforce is barely qualified. You want a balance between the noobs, the competent young ones, and the old dogs who know all the ropes.

So even if for a position that has an "imbalance between the number of job seekers and the available positions", I would expect the average employee to make somewhere between 2x and 4x the minimum wage. Otherwise, what you are telling me is that an average high school kid can do the job equally well as a person with 10+ years of experience.

> Silverlight was supposed to be the savior that brought .NET to Mac and Linux

Silverlight was supposed to bring .NET to browsers on Mac and Linux. Someone1234's comment is IMHO correct and very astute - Silverlight wasn't all bad, but it solved the wrong problem.

On the other hand, this is all about bringing .Net to web servers on Mac and Linux. particularly Linux boxes and container in clouds. My experience may not be typical, but to me that's the right problem. The MS Azure team probably agrees.

That's one of the key issues with the current QE process - essentially all the money has gone to the banks / funds etc. in he hope they'd lend it to other producers but the reality is they've used it to make their own profits at others expense.

Agree. facebook made me unhappy, but it does give value to a lot of other people. For example, the older members of my family use facebook to keep in touch with friends in a way that wasn't possible before. You didn't see lots of grandmothers on myspace.

Facebook stopped being a fad and became a staple. People who could not fathom using new technology bought a netbook and learned to use it just to find long lost acquaintances and keep in touch with their sons. It's not just chatting, but it's about the core experience: "We are in this together". Photos, silly daily updates and videos make distance less painful.

Some time ago I had read a blog post I don't remember where which said that all this credit that Google and Apple are getting for innovating cellphones and tablets, Bill Gates had envisoned all in MS a long time ago, but Ballmer or their management after that didn't focus on them, I had seen a windows phone way way before I had seen a tablet or a phone by apple.

There are some tiny points in this article which are worth considering (the way internet companies are financed, the possible scenarios of internet evolution towards mainstream entertainment), but as a whole, it's quite incoherent FUD (and a machine to promote the overall authors' gloomy predictions about the future).

It's especially pathetic that in spite of all the arguments, casting doom on the internet, the author declares in the middle of the post that all these factors "won’t kill the internet". This is just ridiculous.

Just like ridiculous are the author's opinions which clearly stand against the facts, i.e. "(...) the internet can be expected to follow the usual trajectory of a maturing industry, becoming more expensive, less convenient, and more tightly focused on making a quick buck with each passing year". Can anyone provide an example of the industry for which maturing led to higher prices and less convenience?

A lot of these posts seem to just accept that 'not everyone is as lucky as us'.

I agree, but not because of the same reasons.

I went through a period in my life when I just realised that playing silly games wasn't worth it any more. I gave up on the idea of being an 'adult', whatever that means.

As a human being I have judgement and I know what me arriving late / not arriving to work means. I don't need to be told.

If I am ill, I don't come. If you have a system of 'sickness days', you can employ someone else. Because I am an honest person and I do not want my basic human tendencies to be policed. Biology doesn't care about your employment contract.

I enter and leave work when I want to. 99.9% of the time this is normal office hours, but if something important comes up, life comes first.

I think this is perfectly reasonable.

It means I will be paid less. It means I probably won't be CEO of an investment bank. I don't care.

I am a human being, not a cog in a machine. I'll give up my roof, my food, my clothing before I subject myself again.

The interesting thing about the 7 fallacies is that we constantly find new ways to make the same mistakes. If we've been doing decentralized computing, someone thinks they can fix all of our problems by centralizing it. If we're in a centralized phase, someone thinks we can solve all our problems by decentralizing it.

Exactly like the node and microservices people are doing right now. If you want a front row seat to the next pendulum swing, start learning everything you can about centralized software models now. You'll be sitting pretty in three years when the backswing starts. Maybe we'll try software transactional memory again.

May I indulge in a bit more? In these anonymous social apps, it is made explicitly clear that you are anonymous but traceable.

You are ONLY anonymous in the eyes of the users of the app; in terms of the service provider there is NO difference.
