They are adding a new version called backports (well not new exactly, but it'll be officially supported this time).

Backports is intended to be rolling release for higher profile packages.
That was the final nail in appengine's coffin for me. You get one query per page, preferably a get by id, and you'd better not want to do anything fancy with the result either.

Need more? It's simple. You just port away from appengine. Or you jump through the insane hoops the author describes just to get your mildly complex pages composed and out the door.
Current consumerism is not long term sustainable where we throw away devices every year that's built in low cost countries and are not built for recycling. Taxing materials will make an economic incentive for both producers and consumers to recycle
My thoughts exactly. Ctrl+F was priceless for classes I didn't care about and just wanted to quickly find the quiz answers or whatever.
That's a serious issue I wasn't aware of. Do note however that for this attack to work you have to not notice a user you don't know added to your group chat. Nevertheless, this is much more serious than I knew.

I think they were referring to recruiting payroll and HR staff.
I’m only aware of Hyperion.
Other economies prisons are full of criminals too. Its the USA and I believe Colombia, Mexico and Brazil and Russia which seem to have this persisting gang culture in prison. And, also have extremely violent prison culture.

The Netherlands has a much less violent prison culture. Britain is hardly perfect but has a much less violent prison culture.

They're all full of criminals.
How can you twist: “If people don’t want to be associated with these videos then perhaps they shouldn’t be uploaded.”

To what you just said?

The entire thread is about people uploading videos without other people’s consent, so I really don’t understand the mental gymnastics involved.

A catalog would be quite a tall order, because the numbers are huge. A reduction of scope would be pragmatic. You could start by searching out all of the medical experts who were censored for talking about Hydroxychloroquine. Not necessarily for advocacy, but just for reporting on it. There are even instances of medical academic papers which were censored off of Twitter for linking the PDF to the paper.

You could also do a survey of people talking about censorship and deplatforming just on YouTube, particularly when complaining about YouTube's capriciousness with regards to rules, policies, and terms of service.

It will be never ending!
Optimize for conventional attraction?
Archive Team is probably one of the most reputable organisations on the internet at this point. Being careful is great, but when you yourself linked to a page that provides an extraordinary amount of information explaining exactly who they are and what they're doing (plus the source code to prove it!), it comes across as fearmongering.
> I think the same problem is starting to show in all of the assist technologies in cars. People are starting to rely more on those technologies than they should.

Have you seen the commercials where someone is driving and almost gets everyone killed by taking their eyes off the road. The system slams them to a halt, barely saving them, and the parent happily smiles - family safe, nothing to learn here. In one commercial, the parent is supposed to be teaching their child to drive.

These driving aids should work differently. If they ever have to emergency-brake to save you they should immediately activate a small packet of thermite in the ECU, rendering the car into a brick. You proved you can't use it safely so you shouldn't have it.

It would be different if these devices worked, but they don't. They just tell you that your lack of skill is okay.
Couldn't you have made Perl write the proprietary language programs for you?
There are people with far worse jobs (if they have jobs at all), but the solution certainly isn't to shut up. A better solution is to spend a little of your time educating yourself and aiding others with their (and your) problems.
Headers are name/value pairs, a typical email will have 20 of those. It's possible to copy them if you have received an email from the blog owner or maybe from a mailing list post.
Headers are manually created whenever programmatically sending email messages

To clarify this a little, in case anyone isn't familiar, to send an email message programmatically, you basically just send a string with some headers and body content to the email server. Here are what the headers look like:

Date: Sat, 13 Jun 2009 06:53:06 -0400
From: Mail Delivery Subsystem <MAILER-DAEMON>
Message-Id: <200906131053.n5DAr2Nv025105@jclinux>
To: <root@jclinux>

To change the sender, all you'd need to do is change the from line. For example:

From: Steve Jobs <sjobs@apple.com>

A default sendmail implementation will deliver that message all day. Email headers should never be used for authentication.
As I understand it, they send you a mail telling you about the post and letting you remove it. Not perfect, but probably works 99% of the time.
You are smart if: you realise that formulating smartness is not smart.

Bugger.
Apple had to do the copy+paste work because no one else could.

However, the could have put the front facing camera on without the software, since people can write apps to use. As for doing it right, I don't think an app that only works from iPhone 4 to iPhone 4 on WiFi is doing it right. Doing it right would to be able to Skype video call to anyone who has the app, be that on the Mac, Windows etc.

Also, if you think Apple themselves have to use all the hardware in the phone, then look at the gyroscope, Apple have no software that uses it.
That's not a generalization at all. There is a bill before parliament there right now that would give the Federal Security Service broad censorship powers. And independent journalists in the country are being murdered, and the police appear to be uninterested in solving the crimes. From the Committee to Protect Journalists: "18 press killings have gone unsolved since 2000. Two of the journalists killed in 2009 worked for a single newspaper, the independent Novaya Gazeta."

Cool. I didn't know about toto, but it appears that there are quite a few git based blogging systems out there. Do you know any (besides github pages) that are hosted? The few i have looked at all require you to run your own server.

What kind of documentation would you like. A tutorial or rather a complete documentation of the markup?
> Local storage is also not perfectly available.

Technically true, although you don't have to contend with the consistency or partitioning factors in the local disk case -- there's only one copy of the state. This means you can focus on making the availability factor as close to 1.0 as possible.

This may not be the case when you're forced to balance all three CAP factors. I sometimes wonder if a follow on result to CAP will be a "practical" (physical or information theoretic) limit like C x A x P <= 1-h for some constant h, and we'll just have to come to terms with that as computer scientists, as physics had to with dx x dp >= h. This is of course wildly unsubstantiated pessimism.

Also, I would gladly entertain any argument demolishing the "local disks are not subject to CAP" claim I made above by talking about read / write caches as separate copies of the local disk state.
I'm a pharmacy student and nearly all the calculations I do on a regular basis are done using the metric system.
I doubt it. Suppose that there is a network that is never partitioned, and machines connected to that network that never fail. In that case consistency and availability should be perfect. Although networks will never be perfectly reliable, nor machines, they seem to be getting more reliable. Perhaps someday we may be able to say that the odds of enough partitions or machine failures to make the system unavailable are lower than the odds of you getting struck by lightning, at which point you will have for practical purposes defeated the constraints of the CAP theorem.
Very cool, how does it compare to [1] Twine?

I don't know why you're waffling on about this.

The topic in question is an attempt to stage an event with zero coronavirus. I am simply saying that you cannot test your way into a 100% safe event in a country that has high prevalence.

You seem to be talking about how to reduce prevalence in the country and shoe horning in your own opinions about people for the sake of feeling good about yourself.

Two different topics.
Thank you for the pointers, very helpful. I'd love to see that write up too!
Aren't there significant technological obstacles to raising the transaction limit, not to mention the fact that large miners have actively obstructed attempts to raise it in the past? My understanding is that we only finally got a block size increase with segwit in 2017 and that only happened after people worked around miner sabotage.
Saying "seriously" meant, as a security professional, I have a very legitimate, passionate interest in social psychology - not that I wanted to poke fun at someone.

We're all here to analyze and learn from each other - or....should be.

Please don't mistake my curiosity for malice.
Oh.. I remember the opposite actually. (No mention of guidelines), when you join.
The 100Mbit connection has only 10Mbit uplink? My 50Mbit Comcast connection has 15Mbit up. How disappointing that they would reduce the more important half of the service on the "higher" tier.
Looking through to the original post, I've got to agree with Satish on this one. I've met plenty of 'early employees' with WAY more skin in the startup game than a lot of 'founders' I've met.

Here in Australia, particularly, you can't swing a cat without hitting a half-dozen rich kids or mid-life Accenture employees looking to jazz up their comfortable lives who have founded tiny, pointless companies that will wander around for a while then comfortably expire.

This makes them a 'founder', and thus somehow in a different category to employee #5 or #3 or whatever of Google, Facebook or Microsoft. Big. Fucking. Deal.
exactly. it lowers the risk associated with watching new things.
Only certain employees at home depot can use the power saw to rip lumber. I doubt that is a sign of latent elitism.

I be more concerned if google let any employee walk in and pick up a torch. If you want to be paranoid not having certification requirements would be evidence of some scary social darwinistic elitism.
The correlation is relevant.

Compare to claims that piracy decreases sales.
I bet that's where SkyNet will be built. (Has been built?)

The savvy investors probably don't have enough confidence in Facebook to IPO. Zuckerberg is still being sued by more than 2 parties in court. And time's running out for trendy startups to IPO and steal as much of grandma and grandpa's pension funds (what's left of it) before the stock market and the dollar collapses. Although maybe if Obama was re-elected Mark would have a chance to get those court cases thrown out.
Users on 4chan are by default anonymous when posting content or comments (replies to content). At least when I last spent time there (in early 2007) it was considered a faux pas to post content with a username as it is looked as if one is trying to gain notoriety/fame for themselves, instead of giving up their content for the great good that is Anonymous.

Anonymous (capitalized) is, generally speaking, not a coherent group in any sense, but a meme describing the swarm of memes and the users who propagate them (often first at 4chan) through the internet (a meta-meme?).
Many of us who use Java on a daily basis don't really care about the Apache/JCP soap opera. It's a fun little sideshow, but it doesn't matter.

Wicket is pretty much the only apache java project that holds any value, anyway. And they didn't start out as an apache project.
I don't personally know anyone living off of food stamps, but that doesn't mean they're not out there. C# doesn't thrive in exciting spaces, but C# is probably doing more to evangelize FP concepts than anything else in the corporate world. It's also pushing into mixed static/dynamic territory these days.
C++ was built entirely for its creator to use. Depending on how you take that, it could mean that either 1) PG is wrong about C++ and it's an okay language, or 2) PG is wrong about language design in this case and people can design bad languages for themselves.

I think it's the first one- C++ is a solid language for what it's good for, which is very different from what Java or Lisp or Python are good for. C++ and all its techniques (beyond just being a "better C") can be used in place of C perfectly well.
Android is a platform for native applications and runs web apps out of necessity. Chrome OS runs nothing but web apps and has no support (in fact, it has anti-support) for native, non web-based apps.

The fact that these two systems come from Google is about the only thing they have in common. Why would they "need" to be merged, when doing so would do nothing but dilute each in turn?

I think Google has enough smart people on board to effectively support two platforms...
Then I'd rather that target=_blank was a config option. I personally prefer if I can decide if I want the link to open in the same or a new window, which I can do now.
Here are two chrome extensions that might alleviate some of that for you.
I think there are equivs for other browsers:

When I upvoted him, he was in the negatives. So maybe it was necessary.
Robots.txt is different. Without it, bots have no way of knowing whether to get any other data from the site. You would need "bots allowed" information in the HTTP handshake itself to prevent bots from accidentally hitting pages they shouldn't. This can already be Very Bad.
You have apparently no idea how certain fields work. There are a lot of cases where a person stopped working on something, and then followed a 20 year complete stop of progress. Exceptional people are not replaceable. Putting a team in charge will just increase the damage.
There has been several articles about this man recently. I come away from them wanting to help him financially. I feel if you're going to publish an article about him, and make money from adverts on your website, you have a responsibility to try and help this man. If not it's just exploitation.
> building infrastructure on Earth takes forever

China has built cities basically from scratch in few years, and big infrastructure very quickly, as a counterpoint.
Well, you could teach that sport to others (as a part-time coach for amateurs, for example), you could create training videos and materials, write books or a blog with tactics, tricks etc. If you're not the only person in the world into this sport, I am sure there are many other people who share your passion and would be happy to pay you for materials or training as they themselves will only have limited time to invest in it. You don't have to be a pro yourself. If you're not a total amateur, there will always be people who know less about it than you, are new to the sport etc. and they can be your audience. Also, consider looking at organizations adjacent to that sport or sports in general. There are a lot, from youth outreach NGOs to sport centers, to clubs where you could work as an assistant or clerk but still your work would have to do with the sport itself. Again, this is unlikely to make you rich but might be an option to work in an area you like. And who knows, even if you won't be a world-class athlete yourself, you might manage, teach or support one, that would be pretty great as well, no?

I understand and accept what you say about the high-paying all-in job option. It's not for everybody and can also be damaging.

If you want part-time dev jobs, of course they're out there's lots of competition and not necessarily a lot of job safety. The lowest end are gig economy jobs (like Upwork and Fiverr) but again, buyers there are sometimes also looking for an easy, reliable, part-time go-to guy for regular jobs that maybe have a unique skill set. You can always give it a try. Chances are that you will not make enough money doing this (most likely) to live comfortably in a highly developed country (I don't know how to express this in the "political correct" way du jour but you know what I mean). However, the advantages are guaranteed 100% remote and no long-term commitment, so if you find something better, you can always take it.

Wishing you all the best. And seriously, do report back some time how it works out for you. I'm sure many have the same dream and wonder "what if..."
Agile coaching is it.

It's literally money for nothing.

I'm not an Agile coach, but have seen enough to know that it really is nonsense snake oil that large organisations will pay incredible sums of money for.

I sort of wonder if the negative real value of the Agile industry means the price is effectively limitless, given that the whole thing is a Fugazi so the bill is whatever the buyer is foolish enough to pay.
The political violence by state did not stopped. The secret service was still looking for enemies, arresting people or threatening their families. Not just physically, but also by forcing you to relocate, preventing education of your children or moving you into worst job possible. Just because violence and threat was not as high as during monster processes, it does not mean it did not existed.

You really really don't need tanks for that. An ordinary police is just enough. You really don't need willpower and determination to arrest people nor to confiscate their properties. You just ... do it. Easily.

Yet also, it is not like people and society would recover from repression instantly and forgot what happened a year later. The people stay traumatized and scared.
Absolutely, I would likely have come to the same conclusions as my neighbors. But not because the arguments were convincing.
That’s not the right comparison. He should be compared to the S&P 500. Maybe even compared to large growth firms.

When compared to both, he’s done about average or less, depending on which benchmark you use. [0]

I have worked part-time as a dev in the past but I essentially went from full-time to 3 days a week in the same company. I only did it for a short time. A lot of people warned me that sometimes companies and coworkers will expect you to do the same amount of work in the reduced hours, I think it is rarer in places that are used to people working part-time.
So you think it would be better if politicians have a knee jerk emotional reaction like with 3d printed guns and start shutting down research and making it a felony to publish deep fake videos?
This is basically what happened in the rust belt with steel. Now another "boom" is happening with fracking. The people still haven't learned. You wouldn't believe how many gas workers are driving new trucks, buying toys, etc. I bet very few are putting any of this money in savings. When the fracking leaves we'll be in the same place we were when the steel mills shut down. Just waiting for the next economic boom to come.

What are left of the mills are pretty much rusty wastelands but I don't think quite as much pollution (at least in the ground) as we will see from fracking.
Don't forget the marketing issue here. Someone wants a drill, you want them to think of you at the same level as Amazon. That will take marketing dollars. Big marketing dollars.

My guess is weak marketing is why every startup in this space will flop.
It's worth noting that this piece was written in early 2009, before the Tesla Model S, and the multi-billion dollar Space X deals.
I'm remodeling my house.

I bought most of the tools I use, eg framing nail gun and compressor. I have bought some tools used, like the PEX (plumbing) expanders. For me, buying is cheaper than renting.

I don't know how long I'll need the tools. And I've been very careful to buy models and brands with high resale value.

The contractors I hire often rent tools. Because they're pros. They know the task, correctly estimate the duration, get the job done, and return the tool. When the tool breaks, it's not their problem. And they can pass the rental costs thru to me.

Hi riskish,

If you are serious, I would love to take you up on that offer. I am currently working on a prototype for my gameing-related startup, and could really do with some design expertise. My email is in my profile if you would like to get in touch.

With regards to the initial idea of your post, I am afraid I agree with pedalpete - while HN has some level of interest in UX, perhaps a UX-specific community would reach a higher number of potentially interested people. Great idea though - once complete, being able to show the reasoning behind each iteration of the design would be an invaluable resource.
Ridiculously simple implementation, yet somehow ridiculously enticing.

First thought - "this is silly."

Second thought - "might as well click another. they've already got me here and it'll just be another few seconds.."

Third thought - "oh my god, I've been here for 5 minutes and I'm still clicking!"

Concept proven. A job well done. Startups should be taking notes.
Some controversial background:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wernher_von_Braun#Slave_labor

Answering your question: only von Braun could answer that. We can only guess that he might have been afraid to put his family to risk. If you read more about him you can find he was arrested by Nazis once. That might give some idea about fear atmosphere that he might have experienced.

It is easy to judge when you already know who was bad and who was good in WW2.
It's very slow and clunky. Surely rendering voxels can be quicker than this.
Most people seem to be assuming the intent is either to damage the centrifuges or stop them from working in other obvious ways. However, that would just lead to them being replaced, probably with better protection from reinfection.

I think there is another option: these modifications in the frequencies were intended to make sure the uranium did not becoming pure enough, effectively preventing Iran from obtaining a working bomb. If the virus wasn't discovered, it could have taken the Iranian scientists years to figure out why the centrifuges weren't doing their jobs, after discovering the lack of purity in the first place.
