It can work out nicely if most of what you do is the size of the SSD and the total capacity is higher than the SSD capacity (i.e. lots of rarely used stuff).

In fact, I worked on an enterprise storage that did just that and it significantly improved performance for many workloads. There are open-source solutions for that in Linux that integrate into LVM and do that pretty much without any other interaction by the user. bcache comes to mind but there were a few others as well.

All of the products that you mentioned have huge flaws, at least for my purposes. For me, search quality is astonishingly low, so much that I Yahoo/Bing/Baidu/Yandex now, except when looking for local businesses. I won't go into the other products that you mentioned but I feel like I have legitimate criticisms of them, too.

Maybe I am just different from the masses. If you think News is defective, then maybe other people will agree with you, but not enough to cause Google to want to copy you.

I was curious as to why the non-profit model didn't work, and was surprised it was registered in Deleware.
I am automatically a bit nervous when a California based non-profit registers in Deleware. Sorry, but I want to download those free previews on www.guidestar.org, and find out who is on the BOD, and who is making the most money in the 501c3. If I can't find the detailed financials; I don't donate.

Why would a non-profit register in Delware:

"One advantage provided to corporations under the DGCL is flexibility in internal structure. Unlike some states such as New York, the DGCL requires a corporation to have only one director. A nonprofit corporation in Delaware must have members, but directors can serve as the only members. Unlike California, there is no requirement for a majority disinterested board. Finally, Delaware does not require the naming of corporate officers.

Delaware also generally applies less cumbersome regulation to the formation and operation of nonprofit corporations than some other states. Unlike New York, which requires in certain circumstances the approval of various state agencies prior to the formation of a nonprofit, an individual can form a Delaware nonprofit corporation simply by filing a certificate of incorporation. Delaware also does not require nonprofit corporations formed under Delaware law to register with its Attorney General’s office or file annual separate financial reports to the state (though if the nonprofit operates in Delaware, it may be required to file a copy of its federal Form 990 with the Delaware Attorney General). Finally, unlike some states, Delaware does not require any state government approvals for nonprofit corporate changes such as amendments to the certificate of incorporation, mergers, and dissolutions."

Looking at the Federal From 990 is important--IMHO. The public shouldn't have to pay to see that informantion. I don't know if couchsurfing even filed 990's? A disinterested board is important--for any non-profit--IMHO. Registering with the attorney generals office is important--IMHO. My point is if you are a San Francisco non-profit register in California. If you have a good cause, and all financial information is open public viewing; you might be surprised just how much money you raise?

I doubt it makes them happier. It would IF you can choose with who stay in the room and move in another if you don't like the company.

I mean I had to share some rooms for some weeks with different people, it was one of the worst experience of my life: different behaviors, idea of "respecting personal spaces", idea of "maximum noise allowed", habits at night, hygiene, etc... It is really something stressful.
In a prison, when you risk to end up with people you probably won't like at all, is far better to have a personal room to stay for the big part of the time.
I don't have an account and don't feel like signing up to check this out (doesn't help that the site is running awfully slow right now) but it's funny to see this now after we just hired one of the team that made this site. Going to have some words with him! :-)
I don't think "inmates stay in their rooms at night" really counts as isolation.

Most people with roommates still want a private room to retreat to.
I wonder why no simple personal bookkeeping gui programs that don't cost 50€+ exist.

Open source slide down menu inspired by medium
I think the majority of wordpress website owners have a very basic understanding of technology. This means it's possible to build and monetise plugins that do things you and I might consider trivial - and that's a good thing if it's done well and customers derive real value in exchange for their $/£'s.

It's extra overhead for developers to update an application to fix security/compatibility/bug fixes without including new features too. There would need to be two versions of the app, one with just bug/security fixes and one with bug/security fixes + new features. That's two code bases, two sets of testing required, two sets of releases and release notes/change logs. As a result, asking customers to pay for a year of upgrades/support seems fair. If customers continue to derive value over that year, they can purchase again for another year. If not, they can abandon it.
Sweden has a similar system. And the Swedish Prison and Probation Service even has a "an average day in prison"-page about everyday life at a Swedish medium security prison:

It seems to be one of the biggest prison in the country, Bergen can house 258 inmates but it's not clear that there are bigger prisons, trawling through the official listing[0] and looking for "insette" (inducted/inmates) and "plasser" (places/seats) most prisons units are in the high 60s, with very few approaching 200.

for an image, not seeing the file name is OK as you can differentiate images by just looking at them

but for videos, sorry I need a way to differentiate them, and a thumbnail is not enough, I need a either the file name or a way to search more than plain keywords

> I don't understand why the US is so puritan.

I may well get burned for this, but I'm going to quote a friend's quip from years back. I think he made a good, if caustic, point. (Your choice of term "puritan" is the operative word here.)

"It's cultural baggage. The country was colonised by Puritans. You know, the segment of British population whom even then Victorians considered uncomfortably prude."

I do believe there is a kernel of truth in that. As to why it has remained such a dominant feature in the collective US psychology, now that'd be an interesting study.

Yeah, I'm sure there are lots of small projects. Are any widely used that have matured? I don't want to play with someone's part time project.
And more women were needed in the workforce to avoid economic problems. Maybe there is a link between lots of women in the workforce and the low birth rate? Maybe if they stopped micromanaging these problems, they would spontaneously solve themselves? They always did.

I think PH as a community has grown - with more users, visibility and products added every day. And that means the only way to keep the community clean is by putting up some walls.

When you throw a few hundred great products, their makers, and thousands of tech enthusiasts into one place, it's not easy to strike a balance between "content policing" and "random garbage". Somebody IS going to be hurt...

Our product was submitted by a user and won well over 100 votes last year (http://www.producthunt.com/posts/germio) - when it was still way too early for us to even dream of that kind of spotlight. ProductHunt was a great source of feedback and traffic then - as it is now, and I think this is one of the most beautiful tech communities alive today.
Hospitality organisations long pre-date Couchsurfing. Servas, the oldest such organisation, was founded in 1949 as part of the peace movement and now has over 16,000 hosts worldwide. Servas has avoided most of the issues that have afflicted Couchsurfing by requiring new travellers and hosts to be interviewed and vetted. Prospective members are expected to share a belief in internationalism, and use the network to build meaningful cross-cultural connections.
Interesting - I wonder whether TypeScript could compile down to this when ES7 is accepted and live in browsers. As it is, I do prefer the syntax of TypeScript.

I was as recently as today quite curious to find that there was an implementation of Ocaml 2.00 for RISC OS, but alas, it seems to have been lost to the internet.
It really doesn't seem like parking the drive heads would be an action that requires any kind of contact or friction between moving parts.

There is friction - between the head arm and the "load/unload ramp", as it's called. That's what lifts the heads off the platter when they're parked.

Here is an extreme close-up of what this looks like:

http://cdn1.goughlui.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/DSC_0016...

So a piece of metal rubs against a plastic ramp every time the head parks.
I also think it is interesting, once I put 2+2 together, you pointed out the OCaml Java runtime from Xavier is not open source ... yet. It will be, but it is binary only at this point.[1]

I want to make a joke about the F/L/OSS spirit of this guy, but the whole QPL thing has been repeated a la Shen in circles where I read and seems to have left a sour taste in the mouth of some, like this guy.[2]

Still, I am in place to judge OCaml devs or the community around them, as they seem increasingly awesome. I am a novice, but a CS undergrad in my hood specifically said check out OCaml when we discussed functional langs because of the Jane Street videos. And before that, my only expsoure to what OCaml was, let alone is or even coding it, was the eMule software package.

Anyway, good to see you on the field. If you are paying attention to this, I certainly will!

> It appears that the C++ folks have spent the last 15 (20?) years re-implementing Lisp macros badly.

Maybe it will make you and jlarocco happier to know that Stroustrup feels your pain.

Years ago at a standards meeting (well, having drinks, not during the meeting itself) he and I were talking about C++ and Lisp and I said how much I missed defmacro. He became quite animated that #define had "polluted the ecological niche" and that templating "was the best we could do to bring macros to C++".

C++ is/was hobbled by its C back compatibility (lucky eventually they became brave enough to snap that link). In retrospect I still think it was a good idea for the sake of growing the C++ user base, but it has had some dreadful implications.

The syntax is horrible but it is still one of the most expressive languages I have used. And much as I look back fondly to my years as a Lispm hacker, I have to say, times move on.
6 Trends Are Driving a Data Tsunami for Startups
My only skeptikism with OCaml is that OPAM (latest packages) does not work on windows and does not cooperate with msys2 (lates libraries) or another port solution like winbuilds.

I have to install msys2 and keep compiling by hand.

Even if a source solution that kept updating even if I had to compile regularly, would be preferable.

This is my only hesitation.
I'm torn.

On the one hand, parents who are worried about their kids seeing a Lego penis are crazy. A kid isn't going to recognize a Lego penis and if they ask about it, it's a learning opportunity.

On the other hand, Legos were a huge part of my childhood. I recently went into a Lego store and bought a big Lego kit, the $160 kind my parents couldn't afford when I was young. The security guard at the entrance laughed because I had such a giant grin on my face walking out. I'd really hate to see Lego become inaccessible to the next generation because their parents are too puritanical.
Could not agree more. They have a clever idea but they are not clear about how it works.

What caught me onto it was seeing what they offered as 'premium' features. These basically involved not being a peer!

They have clarified things a little but to the uninitiated, being a 'helper' sounds like a good thing!
We don't either :P And we have twice the per capita rate of bicycles compared to Japan. The current projects are virtually all underground, but there's no real need to automate it necessarily. See the other posts in this comment thread about stacking bikes easily, and taking your bike down some stairs or up with a conveyer belt. It's quite space efficient, easy to build, very low maintenance, open to many different types of bikes etc.
It doesn't matter.

Shoes That Put Women in Their Place
I think they could have made it clearer, and changing up their FAQ didn't exactly make a great impression on a lot of users. That said; I think providing they tell users about this upfront, and don't waste their bandwidth on mobile connections etc (as they say they don't) - then I see no problem with this.

It's a way for users to get a VPN for "free". For most end-users they won't even notice/care about the odd HTTP request they're proxying. I think transparency may have been the issue here.
Many of those fads or movements are not sub cultures because they are part of the larger culture. But more so, many subcultures are dead because they became part of the larger culture. The other examples - "NRX Silicon Valley techno-libertarian sub-culture" probably is a subculture. It certainly sounds like they have founding principles and differentiates itself from wider society. The same would go for Red Pill etc examples, as they would be more along the line of anti mainstream political movements. I'm not sure they have coolness though!

From wikipedia: "a subculture is a group of people within a culture that differentiates itself from the larger culture to which it belongs, though often maintaining some of its founding principles."

Those who do selfies are not identifying themselves as part of their own group, and separate from the larger culture. Even the early adopters of the selfie never thought of themselves as a subculture, just cool within the larger one. STEM and celebrity worship also could be seen as part of the larger mainstream. Just because something is fashionable or cool does not make it a sub culture.
> What killed couch surfing for me personally though, was that no matter how many people I've hosted, I could never find anyone who would host me when I was traveling somewhere.

So much this. I've probably hosted easily 30-40 different groups or individuals (which is perhaps not a lot by CS standard, but fine, I've done my dues, no?), and I have only been able to surf 3 times, of which 2 were arranged by the attractive young lady I was travelling with (I am not 100% serious, that is sexist, but I suspect this dynamic does play a role). On the other hand, I have frequently sent out 20-50 reasonably personalized surfing requests, depending on popularity of destination, etc. Of course you'll have to take my word that I didn't just copy and paste a one-liner like "Hey I'll be in your city from x to y July, can I stay at your place?", but still, CS is dead to me, I don't even try to surf any more.

Another telling thing is that in many popular destinations (New York most recently for me) the first two pages of search results include predominantly photos of muscular males posing without t-shirts. Somehow I didn't feel drawn to that. :(

Great idea, tragedy of the commons?

I'm studying this language right now at a french school, with INRIA researcher.

And, well... I'm not really satisfied with it. OCaml produces a small amount of code, but is really slow and hard to understand. Sometimes, it looks like obfuscated code!

Documentation and libraries are not polished, and I would recommend Haskell instead of OCaml. Good for research and some algorithms, bad for applications.

And... God... "This page was last updated on 17 June 2006."
Top Rules for Better Git Workflow
A beautiful and elegant thing about JavaScript is that decorators are not needed for the current functionality, as you say.

That being said, some people feel very strongly that languages are better tools when they are less elegant, when they are collections of specialized tools that communicate very specific intentions to readers.
I'd say its not just "mistreatment" of animals, because even the stuff you do to beloved animals would be demeaning to a human being. Especially the part about controlling virtually every part of their lives. For pets, that is ok or even better than most alternatives. For Humans? Hell on earth.
I struggled to get an interactive environment for OCaml that was similar to SLIME/Cider. I recorded a video showing what I had pieced together to get a kind of repl-like env [0] and posted it to twitter, hoping people would tell me how silly that was and there was already an existing system. Turns out it's not a very high priority, the OCaml community seems to work in a different way, but I've never been able to work in person with someone to see how they do it.

That say, the type helps from Tuareg/merlin and a few other things really started to become very handy, and I miss them in ClojureScript now.

Not exactly what you're talking about but still relevant:

"Not surprisingly, many corporate executives oppose extending employment protections to 65. Komatsu, the world’s second-biggest construction equipment maker, rehires 90 percent of its retirees with a 40 percent pay cut. 'I’m happy to keep workers on after 65, but I don’t think many are physically capable,' says Chief Executive Officer Kunio Noji, who is 65. Yasuchika Hasegawa, the CEO of Asia’s preeminent drugmaker, Takeda Pharmaceutical, and chairman of the Japan Association of Corporate Executives, says employers shouldn’t be forced by law to retain older workers. He is 66."

Scheme has come up with the idea of pretending that an undelimited contination is a function, which is somewhat true-ish... in the degenerate sense of a function with empty domain.

This is fine for Scheme, which is an expression language, so every method of invoking a continuation would, syntactically, be an expression anyway.

In C, which has statements, making return look like an expression is somewhat pointless. It doesn't matter whether C "has" continuations (and it arguably has) or not.
You can see fault in John as an opportunist with no principles. The idea is that he was in love with Maid Marion himself and hid it until a split happened between her and Robin. One could see him and Marion having sneaked around behind Robin's back before the Sheriff caught them.

Note that I don't see it that way, but I know enough traditionally-minded men that I can see how one could view John. They would have preferred that John and guys like him be "men" about it and challenged Robin up front, as soon as he fell in love with her. Of course, that diminishes Robin's ability to choose who she wants to be with, and that's kind of the point. The quiz asks us to use both morality and honesty as our guides, so as to capture the varied ways we apply those terms.

It's a mark of how much our society has evolved that many of us lost touch with this sort of traditional paternalism.
