susi22··on Containers, Not Virtual Machines, Are the Future Cloud

Shouldn't be a PITA. Look into Vagrant, ansible, salt stack, chef, puppet etc.

susi22··on Containers, Not Virtual Machines, Are the Future Cloud

Thanks for you answers so far. Q: Why is it that Linux is >10 years behind with Containers/Zones?

From what I understand is that ZFS was so slowly ported to Linux due to the license problems. But why were Zones not quickly adapted?

susi22··on Containers, Not Virtual Machines, Are the Future Cloud

Yes, the security is there. Though, resource fairness is not (since you have basically bare metal access). SmartOS is trying to fix this:

I'm surprised the article doesn't mention SmartOS. It's a superb OS which let's you spin up zones and KVMs.

susi22··on Edward Snowden Q&A

His answer to the question "What direct access means":

1) More detail on how direct NSA's accesses are is coming, but in general, the reality is this: if an NSA, FBI, CIA, DIA, etc analyst has access to query raw SIGINT databases, they can enter and get results for anything they want. Phone number, email, user id, cell phone handset id (IMEI), and so on - it's all the same. The restrictions against this are policy based, not technically based, and can change at any time. Additionally, audits are cursory, incomplete, and easily fooled by fake justifications. For at least GCHQ, the number of audited queries is only 5% of those performed.

susi22··on Designing blogs for readers

Completely agree with everything. That's also why I use readability ( https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/readability/oknpjj... ) which transforms the article I want to read into a very well designed and readable format. Just by pressing `.

In addition it has an Android app which is done very well. About 80% of the posts that I see here on HN, I simply safe for later and read at home in the garden with this app.

susi22··on Fast median search: an ANSI C implementation

There is actually a paper about exactly this:

"Optimal Pivot Selection in Fast Weighted Median Search"

ieeexplore.ieee.org/iel5/78/6236322/06193457.pdf

It gives a formula for the optimal subset size to use to find the pivot and also does some optimization after the first partitioning step.

susi22··on Actually eat healthily for £1 per day

This can actually be formulated as an interesting (constrainted) optimization problem.

Given

* an amount of calories

* a distribution of macronutritions (protein,fat,simple carbs, complex carbs)

* a certain variablility (at least 20(?) different foods)

do minimize:

- Cost

Interesting problem.

A more thorough database with micronutritions would even yield a healthier result

Edit: Look like it's not new: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stigler_diet

How many pages does the book have? Even with the discount: $30 is way too much for a tech book IMO. Maybe $20 would be doable.

susi22··on Microsoft prepares U-turn on Windows 8

I didn't get any tutorial of the new features with the hot corners etc.. Never got any introduction. I googled it and closing apps is described here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/how-close-app

Funny part is that it just doesn't work with a mouse. It does work well on my Win8 tablet.

Also, I didn't wanna use the power button since I wanted to actually restart it. (Actually I was in a VM).

susi22··on Microsoft prepares U-turn on Windows 8

I've used Win7 for years and I always use "WinKey+RightArrow+RightArrow" and then I either press 'r', 's' or sleep or restart or whatever I want (it's super quick onece you're used to it). I don't want my lid to do anything. I have SSH session open and don't want them to kill (and don't start about screen...). Also, my power button would've just shut down linux since the Win8 was in a VM.

susi22··on Microsoft prepares U-turn on Windows 8

I actually was in a full screen VM. Also, I actually wanted to do a restart and not a shut down.

susi22··on Microsoft prepares U-turn on Windows 8

I'm a long time Windows user. I gave Win8 a try and had to google "How to shut down Windows 8" and "How to close apps in Windows 8". It's ridiculous. Just go to google and type in "how to shut " and it'll suggest you the rest. Same goes for "how to close apps ".

Even though WA is closed source and for-profit, I few them (and the company) as a kind of fellow scientist and not the evil big corporation (like oracle, microsoft etc.).

Disagreed. This is a super cheap operation to test

susi22··on Space Monkey: Taking the cloud out of the datacenter

I'm waiting for the day that a hacker takes over their central update server and bricks all devices worldwide and makes them non-upgradable (or makes them into bots). How would you deal with that? Ask them all to send it in?

Not sure if I like this. $10/month for a TB is the same as Amazon glacier. Sure that's not the same since Glacier is for archival but still... It's not THAT cheap.

susi22··on Ask HN: Anyone ever do remote work from another country?

As far as working remotely: SSH sucks to use over the Atlantic. It's very very slow and the delay makes it no fun. Not sure if that was part of what you wanted to know. I can't give you much idea about taxes since it's the other way around for me.
