Counter Argument: (Not saying I disagree, just a different point of view)

It is possible that having a commercial offering, or a way to actually make money off nginx, will simply increase development time over all. Yes, some (most) of that will be towards the commercial product, but if they are making a reasonable amount of money off this, it may mean more time spent on the open version as well.

Also, with the nature of git it is possible for someone, or a group of someones, to fork nginx and run that fork as the 'new' open source nginx. What I mean is someone could fork the repo and if that one is getting enough attention from open source devs, it is possible that the fork would become the recognized version of nginx in the future. Not saying this is overly likely to happen, but it is possible.
The little devil in me would like to see Microsoft burn. The little angel in me knows that a third big mobile OS will be good for competition. I guess I hope Windows Phone does well, but not too well :)

Steve Carlip used to be my advisor in grad school and his style of writing conveys completely his beautiful way of explaining (and thinking about) deep questions in physics.

One think that I believe is important to point out is that this short essay is focusing on the experimental aspect of the measurement of the speed of gravity. It gives an explanation on why this is even an intelligent question to answer and why the answer we commonly accept is that gravity moves at the speed of light. I will never have better words than him so I won't add anything to what he said.

What I would like to point out, based on some comments I read here, is that this essay is not talking about whether or not theoretically would be possible to have a speed of gravity faster than the speed of light.

General relativity and special relativity have been tested on several aspects, and they pretty much are in agreement with all experimental constraint. There is no other theory that can explain everything we see (some theories tend to explain a few things, but not all of them, or they are too vague).

A theory in which the speed of gravity is faster than the speed of light isn't unconceivable per se, but no one has been able to write a completely consistent one yet, mostly because it would have large consequences on what special and general relativity imply for cosmology and particle physics (and causality). If gravity moved faster than the speed of light then we'd have to 'fix' a lot of problems coming down to paradoxes and stuff like that.

So take this essay as a way to appreciate how elegant and fine some experimental questions on gravity (and physics) are.
Right, but that's largely the fault of the browser, not the OS or the concept. Knowing that it's not the smartest choice for a webdesigner, but it's essentially equivalent to a bunch of checkboxes with labels.
I have been moonlighting/contracting on the side for a couple years now: http://www.featlabs.com

I drum up work by:

* Posting myself on the Monthly HN Whois hiring Freelancers thread (1st of month)

* http://www.authenticjobs.com/

* Attending and doing talks at meetups - got a recent retainer from doing this.

* Old contacts pinging me about projects (rare)

Odesk and Elance, IMHO, are not worth my time. It is a race to the bottom honestly.

I get at least 3 hits a month from my HN posting of which one is solid enough to move forward with in some fashion. Since its part time I dont need more than two clients at a time.
The first step does sound like "catalog them", and LibraryThing is a great tool for that (especially now with the expanded free access they just announced here). The LibraryThing iOS/Android app includes a bar code scanner to help.

LibraryThing's forums are also where I'd start to ask the hard questions of what to do with the collection. Especially once it is cataloged you could get a ton of good opinions in the LT forums on which books might have value where. A lot of small and niche libraries already use LibraryThing for their operations and you might be surprised who you network with once the overall collection is cataloged.

It's too bad Valve didn't properly support or listen to players of Garfield's digital card game Artifact (which he developed for Valve). It was a huge leap forward in digital card games, involving high-level strategic play not present in Magic. The 3-lane system inspired by DOTA and the Initiative system were great innovations in the genre.

From my experience running a 3 node cluster (as VMs) etcd was a beast in terms of CPU and disk use.
He's not making any argument about culture. Not even sure what EU culture would be - it's a bureaucracy?

I have too, and I’ve heard similar from other people. My dreams have been utterly bizarre, although not frightening/nightmares.
I think that was more or less still the point - more expressive power (including custom key bindings) allows you to build more complicated abstractions with less obvious behaviours. It's more difficult to maintain a mental model of those less obvious behaviours.
It’s probably going to be worse than the Great Depression.
Whoa the outright pessimism in this thread is horrific. The guy literally donated $1m to try help a certain aspect of the crisis. What did you do? Did you do anything at all to help? Think about your own actions in the face of this pandemic before criticising others.
But patents are supposed to cover implementation, are they not? (I know they are completely messed up and don't work properly for that purpose currently)
> deserve better

So less features and slower performance to account for the hypothetical case where someone tries to edit their user account from 50 devices at once over and over again?

You are talking about less than 0.5% of revenue generating SaaS apps.

Good article - I must admit I’m vaguely familiar with the concept and this read certainly gave me some new insights.

One meta call out on the writing - I read and scrolled at least 30% through the page on my iPhone until the author explained why I should care about a service mesh I.e. what problems it tries to simplify or solve.

It seems to me there are some strong use cases here, but it’s only worth your while if you’re operating at sufficient scale.

For instance, if my team at some FAANG scale company is responsible for vending the library that provides TLS or log rotation or <insert cross cutting/common use case here>, and it requires some non trivial on boarding and operational cost, migrating to this kind of architecture longer term where these concerns are handled out of the box may be beneficial.

Still - it doesn’t mean the service owners are off the hook. They still need to tune their retry logic, or confirm the proxy is configured to call the correct endpoints (let say my service is a client of another service B and for us, B has a dedicated fleet because of our traffic patterns). This is an abstraction. Abstractions have cost.

Trust but verify.

The trap people fall into is, “Here’s a new technology or concept. Let’s all flock to it without considering the costs.”
Those weren't Arabs.
I think that the best reason for not supporting old browsers is that most developers dislike it enough that it's not worth the drop in moral.
Would be interesting to read that article.

Crime is a problem indeed, but I still feel like adding more lighting in hopes of solving this is not really the solution, and like you say, just moving the problem around.

I think lighting very busy areas (think railway stations, main streets in cities) is a good idea in general, but how many areas are really busy at night? And most people aren't outside in the middle of the night or early morning, so most lights could probably be shutdown after the evening is over?
Prices on most things have also gone up somewhat substantially over the last 5 or more years fast enough I find I still think of some things being the price they were before and end up being surprised.when I realize it's been more expensive for a while.

The discount trickery plays into it. You never notice the price increases at first as it's fairly standard all around from what i've seen to raise the base price during a sale, to the point where i've seen them raise the base price at the same time a sale starts then, cross out the new 'old' price and show how great of a sale it is. Then the sale ends and the price is higher.
This is a great point and something that I thought was going to "pay off" but didn't. The results were significantly different but still beneficial... what I should have done is waited a few more months to dive in.

Will I do this again? Probably... but not until a major release, like a 2.0...
You are mistaken. You can install SlimerJS on a box without X11. You must install Xvfb use it like this : xvfb-run slimerjs script.js

If you use casperjs you can modify the executable (it's python) and change "'default_exec' : 'slimerjs'" into "'default_exec' : 'xvfb-run slimerjs'"
Is the term "strong AI" generally considered to imply that it's faster and more efficient than humans? I usually only think about it in terms of breadth of capabilities, and I expect that when we do build it, it will initially be extremely power-hungry and not necessarily real-time by human standards.
It's more like getting a lot done and breaking things for everyone else. Imagine your boss has a terribly, horrendously stupid way he wants things done. Overperformance would be going over his head to his boss to try to change the awful policy. It might be the right thing to do, but you're only going to piss off your boss in the process. Michael is saying it's better to do what the boss asks in that case, but only do the minimal amount of work necessary, instead of going off on a crusade that will only cause trouble for yourself and provides no benefit.
At the very least, they could install packages in a VM and check that the VM can be rebooted.
My girlfriend has a blog (on nail polish, of all things), and even not very notorious bloggers have "free samples" sent to them, and the more notorious ones certainly do have monetary offers.

Same to hardware reviewers, product reviewers, etcetera, etcetera.

Consumers themselves paying, I don't see it that often, but there's the "donations" model that seems to be popular among streamers, etc., I haven't donated myself but I could see myself doing so.

What's in a number? - xml-based repository of numerical metadata
http://www.edn.com/blog/1690000169/post/1140047314.html?nid=3080
(paraphrased fta):
A quantity actually includes several components, Razdow explained. There are digits, obviously. Equally obviously to engineers, but often forgotten by the untrained, a quantity includes dimension in some defined units, and a tolerance. And in some cases, such as accepted constants also may have a proper name, like pi or Planck's constant. Attached to the quantity, either implicitly or explicitly, there is also a description, like minimal channel length or oxide thickness. Less obviously, the quantity may also have a history. Razdow's idea is to capture all these facets of a quantity in a single repository.

Show HN: Missions that help with anxiety, storytelling, and retention
https://twigflo.com/
I created a tool that forces solution-oriented people to build project plans with the end in mind. It's a visual network of nodes that tells a story. Built it because I was tired of the same old productivity tool that is just a post it board for to dos. Missions, I believe, will help build effective processes rather than needless processes. It'll also give project members ease of mind knowing that they're always on track. Feel free to give it a go and just reply and I can give full access. Warning: bugs / beta features exist. Enjoy.

Ask HN: Who's turned your side project into a full-time business? Stories?
This morning there was a post about side projects [1] that resonated with me because it finally hit me that what started out as a side-project, isn't just a side-project any more.

A little over 4 years ago my business partner and I started a small side project (~20 hours for the first version of the app) that we hoped would make us a bit of money that we could spend on our hobby of racing karts (not exactly a cheap sport).

Since just after the launch of the app, it's been a full-on sprint to build and grow the business, which is now several apps and a couple of different services.

We've taken the idea seriously from the beginning (although perhaps a bit hesitant about the potential market at first) and there hasn't really been any sort of definitive transition from being 'just a side project' to 'now we have to take this seriously.'

Although I've been self employed for the past two and a half years, and my business partner for the past year and a half, it wasn't until today that it really hit me that it's not just a side-project anymore.

What's your story? When did it finally hit you that what you're building isn't just a side-project any more?
