Yep.. most annoying bit is that the Cloud Key uses 48v POE while all their APs (and the cheaper routers) only support 24v. So you can't actually run a Cloud Key off say an EdgeRouter X SFP.

Annoying for sure, though if you are doing a big install you'll probably need another switch and you can just make it a POE one.

Still love them though.

This statement is not complete, almost all new Ubiquiti PoE equipment is 802.3af compatible (48V). Older hardware is 24V only. To cross this gap they released several switches (and routers) with PoE ports which can do both (passive 24V or auto sensing 48V).

"I think the real question is whether this Tesla's daily driver will be Vim or Emacs…"

Apparently we have long passed the era when making coffee was something novel for Emacs. Now is the time for

  M-x drive

Let me just :qa! this discussion.

GPS.

For whoever downvoted the GPS answer, RTM. Please do, it's highly informative and very cool technical and educational material. If you refuse, please insert the F into the appropriate abbreviation and start this paragraph from the beginning.

If enabled, you use a firewire connection. You don't even need to reboot and can connect as root to any running processes and filesystems.

Yes, that is actual working technology.

I hate to be overly pedantic, but what shell would that be? There is no such thing as the Linux shell.

emilw · 12 years ago
I don't think your being overly pedantic. The differences between sh/bash/csh/tcsh/ksh/zsh alone are enough to make your head spin.

The quick 'n dirty recipe to test the disk write speed isn't ideal, since there's the buffer cache which significantly skews the results. A much better way would be:

> sync && time sh -c "dd if=/dev/zero of=foo bs=1M count=10000 && sync"

Then just divide 10000 (or whatever value you choose) by the number of seconds elapsed and you should get a much closer approximation of the sequential write speed, taking into account completely flushing the buffer to disk.

Even better would be to not use dd, it isn't intended for testing/benchmarking write speeds, and use http://www.iozone.org/

Looking at this for a few minutes and then coming back to HN gave a sort of weaving effect. Very cool.

Granted, maybe pinterest is a bad example in regards to optimum page filling.

I substitute it with flickr's latest design overhaul.

Maybe I'm missing the point but why is this an achievement? I've seen Google images do this for years (from the backend, sends the users viewport dimensions and then automatically calculates the optimum filling). For years (Warning NSFW!) vusker.com has been doing this client-side in their thumbnail and gallery view. Plus look at the vertically stacked posts from Pinterest.

It seems more a marketing ploy to get attention to the great service chromatic.io is providing?
