Sadly, that only clears device errors. Tried it with no change.

We do limit registrations per IP address, but don't block exit nodes because they're exit nodes. If you're unable to register from tor you're likely just competing with spammers and losing.

The memory is ECC. No data I care about was affected. I'm just surprised there's no "do whatever you need to make it consistent so I can move on with life" option and instead I have to bring up a whole new pool.

I agree completely. Much better to know than not. But having no option to knowingly just lose inconsistent data and move on is a bummer.

ZFS is pretty great, but it's not perfect. Occasionally you have to dump and re-create a whole pool to fix corruption: [nsivo@news.ycombinator.com ~]$ zpool status -v pool: arc state: ONLINE scan: scrub repaired

ImageMagick clearly grew up in environments with short lived processes - the command line, php, etc. Run it in a long lived process at your peril, and watch all your memory leak away. I also don't think it makes very good use of availa

I like this idea. We're currently in the middle of migrating to a new application system for the next round of applications, but it seems like a reasonable feature to add afterward.

That doesn't have to be true. Many good systems support VLANs and subnets (OpenVPN style) per client, though you'll rarely encounter networks like this.

We're debugging an issue with ranking. Last night we rolled out new code that appeared to work, but apparently didn't update the rank of items. Since it's now fixed, when anyone votes on an old article it will be re-ranked to

In this case, there's actually a bug we're tracking down. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8015140

This is correct. If you look at the vote counts you'll see they're there because people voted for them.

Less a filter and more a ranked list.

The delay was my bad. Sorry! Everyone with a valid email address should have received some kind of response. Unfortunately we don't have room to accommodate everyone :( People who applied with bogus emails - Why did you bother?

To the extent we're able to be objective, we try to be. YC founders and companies get their titles edited and suffer the same penalties as everyone else. The only advantage YC founders and companies might have is the ability to recogni

Is there a way to enable automatic captions? Alternately, is anyone aware of a good transcription service? I'd like to make this happen.

You're completely right. Thanks for alerting us!

They make the phone heavier, thicker, and uglier. In my case it's for zero benefit, since at the end of the day I usually have 30-40% charge left.

So we shouldn't test using a snapshot of live data? Seems prone to finding errors only on production.

We used to run UFS and we tuned both the kernel itself and the dirhash settings. Now we run ZFS.

Online data migrations are complicated and error prone. We deemed it not worth it. All the code was tested before going live, but at some point you actually have to move and re-format all 8.5 million files.

We considered this pretty seriously, and it might be required some day, but we think we'll be able to incrementally move toward a more highly available, better performing architecture without a continuity break.

Because running out of the box on OS X makes testing way easier. Currently we use DMGs, and performance is terrible.
