According to google translate, "十人十色" means "various colors." Pretty sure the machine translation lost some original nuance ;)

Not sure if it's out of print, but you know how ancient technical books go - you can get a copy for nothing:

It wasn't the client, but beyond that honestly I don't know, I didn't get into the nitty gritty of it. Could have been a terrible or overloaded piece of server hardware, or maybe a network loop or something else misbehaving between the client and server.

We built a portable device that starts a DHCP client and tries to get a lease on an Ethernet plug event, and if no lease is acquired after a certain amount of time, the device assumes it has been plugged directly to a PC (or an "ad-hoc", isolated network with a switch and no router) and will kill the client and start a DHCP server itself, so you can access the device's webserver directly. I wasn't onsite, but the solution was simple - we just increased the timeout to wait for a lease before starting the server.

Are you serious? A 30 second lease is insane.

I've seen DHCP servers that TAKE 60 seconds to give a lease.

> Calligra

That webpage though. If I told my aunt to download Calligra she would have no idea what to do once she got there. You have to click the tiny "Get Calligra" in the upper right, then scroll down and click "For MS Windows" in the middle of a list, then read through a list to find the download that's actually Calligra, then download the right msi for your architecture. Compare that to openoffice.org, and then to libreoffice.org, and watch the page get better and better for aunts everywhere.

> several hundred lines of extremely well maintained Qt data structures

Sounds amazing to me, I may try it out too. But people who aren't tech literate and are looking for a free alternative to MS Office know OO.org, and that's the real crux of the issue - OO.org is effectively dead. If OO.org instead redirected to libreoffice.org with a little disclaimer, more people would be using better free software.

The OO.org codebase isn't going anywhere. But Apache has a responsibility to its users and its reputation, and IMHO they should redirect the OO.org domain to LO.org, and let the community decide if the original OO.org codebase is worth resurrecting.

How is their 404 page Yahoo? Do they use yahoo for hosting??

"I'm broke and don't have the BTC otherwise I would have given it to you already, here's an Apple gift card for $477 and the remainder is still on this other card here." -- something like what the scammer said.

Sorry I can't help you, but I do have a question - how did you find out that your town has the existing fiber infrastructure?

The article goes into this. Not only the hormones that come from the body, but also the donor body's gut flora and differing physicality from the host's would in some ways make it a new, third person who emerges from the operating room.

Jerks are also piping /dev/random into it, looks like that may be crashing it.

Well, I did mix up my units - I should have said hundreds. Megabits is a weird unit to use for hard drives.

But read speeds on a spinning HDD are typically going to be between 50-100MBps, so 400-800 Mbps.

This is how Tortoise SVN handles SVN paths that are invalid on Windows - it doesn't write the offending file.

You should probably not check out such code on Windows in the first place, but if you accidentally do, then you really need to get loud warnings splashed everywhere.

> Dr Otte reports read speeds of 1-2 minutes per block. He reckons he could boost those speeds drastically, to about a megabit per second. That would be a big improvement, but still thousands of times slower than modern hard drives.

Try tens of times slower. There would absolutely be applications for nonvolatile memory that reads at 1 Mbps but has this kind of insane memory density. For most applications you'd probably have to make the technology stable at room temperature though.

For entertainment value, might I suggest the Hoon syntax page?

Sounds kind of like an evil Second Life. I predict it will go as Second Life did - prepare for the Urbit dick-based economy.

It took me too long to find this: information:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beyond_CMOS

From the article - possible replacements for CMOS include:

Rapid single flux quantum devices Carbon nanotube field-effect transistor Silicon nanowire FET Spintronics, various types Tunnel junction devices, e.g. Tunnel field-effect transistor Indium antimonide transistors Photonics, optical computing Graphene nanoribbons Molecular electronics

Just wondering, why is it bad? Does their leasing model screw the homeowner?

How so?

Why is his statement so ungrammatical?

I've been mucking around with Owncloud from the beginning and it's always been a pain (non-default configs never work as you expect, updating is a pain, installation is a pain, etc). Tried Syncthing and it was worse (I want central control, SyncTrayzor is obnoxious, doesn't "just work" as it's supposed to via upnp). Never heard of Seafile before but it looks way better, I'm going to give it a shot!

> "Once You Go Black, You Never Go Back"

I lol'd. Too over the top though.

You know, I've heard the same thing said of phrases like SJW, but it seems to me that both "virtue signaling" and "SJW" are useful phrases that describe real phenomena.

Reasons for agricultural antibiotic use are twofold.

On the one had it is as you said, as a preventative measure to head off infection (which is obviously very bad), but it's worse than that - industrial farmers use antibiotics so they don't have to inspect and treat each animal. Just dump antibiotics into their food and if they are injured somewhere along the way it will hopefully heal on its own. Inspecting and treating each animal individually would be a lot more expensive.

The other reason antibiotics are given to livestock is to cause weight gain. If the antibiotics cost less than the value of the extra meat produced, then you make more money.

It's a fucked up practice that we'll be all pay for in a few decades.

Note the wiki page is an ok source, but is in need of some attention from someone outside the industry.

> If anyone can pick their gender, what makes someone masculine and what feminine?

I don't think this really follows. There are still traditionally masculine and feminine traits, this is unchanged by people self-identifying as a gender other than the one they were born with.

> virtue signalling

?

Wow it's already gone full Hitler?

It's moot because the product is now dead, but if I understood Coin correctly, all of your criticisms are invalid.

> If you lose it, you have no money unless you have cash on hand or can somehow get money out of the bank

You keep the actual cards at home. So if you lose your Coin, you just go back to your separate cards.

> It is a lot more attractive to thieves / skimmers

The Coin was secured through your phone's passcode/biometrics/pattern, so yeah if they broke that you'd be boned. The same as with GWallet/iPay. A sophisticated mugger could do it I guess.

> if you lose your Coin, that means someone has access to all your cards

Not without the phone.

> you are essentially handing people your entire wallet

No, before you hand it to a waiter or whatever you lock it into the card you want to use.

Even "temp" would be a standard name for the temporary variable used in a swap function.

The only reason to use Selenium at all these days is because it can run your tests in multiple real browsers. If you don't need to test cross-browser support, then you can use phantomjs or one of the bazillions of other tools mentioned in this thread.

Everyone on HN was, no doubt. I figured it was a Tesla offshoot formed to target new segments.
