Of course you don't have to have nodejs to handle large amounts of http requests, if you spend enough time you can get any language/framework to handle the amount you need :)

But, seems that at least in the TechEmpower framework benchmarks, es4x (JS) ends up on position 9 while the closest PHP framework ends up at 13. Now it's just a small benchmark with specific tests, but I do think it's easier to make NodeJS handle large amount of requests than PHP. Although again, you can definitely do large amounts of requests with PHP too. I've spent about 5 years on each, found that getting good performance out of V8 is easier than out of PHP.
I have an empty Facebook profile and use Whatsapp all the time.
The friend suggestions on Facebook that I get are complete strangers.
I don't know how this works but none of my Whatsapp contacts ever appear as suggestions and none of the suggestions are people I ever knew.

I don't know how I managed this.
What's the downloadable, if it's not confidential?
Thanks for the heads up on reddit.

May ask for some feedback in there!
As someone who frequently hires Wordpress freelancers, I offer this:

Don't 'sell' the client on using Wordpress relative to other frameworks. They don't need to know the complete power and limitations of the WP ecosystem; that's your job (in their eyes). Just say 'yes.'

>Can I add products later? Yes.
>Can I add pages? Yes.
>Can I add coupons? Yes.
>Does it have SEO? Yes.

It's easy work for someone like you with sysadmin and PHP skills. Your client will love how quickly you can diagnose whatever problems they're having.
It's more or less a matter of time until everything will be migrated to go. Since it has better performance and works good for them, there's no point not to do it.
I didn't know about the SqlMode. I've never tried it.

I don't have a working setup of emacs to try it right away. If you can try it out and find that it's not working, please file an issue.
Scrumerfall adopted the term "sprint" so of course it's wrong. Before Scrum was much, we used the term "iteration" which is far more descriptive and truthful.
Well, I used Ruby on Rails (I'm a Rails dev). Initially I expected to have to scrape TPB, but checked out google and found there was a PB API. I started looking into that, and was going to write a Ruby wrapper for it, but then realized if I was gong to do it that someone else probably already did it. Looked for a few minutes and found a couple of Ruby gems ready to go.

So what I would do was check TPB every hour, and get the links through the API. If I didn't have them in my DB, I added them. If I had them I updated the seeder / tracker info.

Once I have that info, I scan the DB for magnet links that haven't yet been thumbnailed. I use the transmission-daemon to manage the torrent downloads, and keep a handful of them going at all times. Getting that working properly was kind of a pain in the neck.

Once a torrent is downloaded, I use ffmpeg to scan it and make 10 thumbnails of every movie file in it. The torrents are deleted after they're thumbnailed.

Not much marketing, I just post about it here and there in places where people would be interested in hearing about it.

I'm hoping TPB comes back up soon so I can refresh my data. It's way out of date.
Yes, she would be wasting time in History class, but she would also be missing Mathematics class or Physics class, Chemistry or Biology class. God forbid economics (if they teach that in USA). Being good developer is also about able to write out articles, so English class does help there. The OP is privy to his situation more than I am so, I give a lot of benefit of doubt, I would not let my daughter quit unless she is solving real world problems and making some real dough off of it. That would be the standard I would aspire for dropping out of High school. Now College is a different story, I do not recommend if the person is already proficient coder.
No man, check it out - get your own laptop.

Yeah, that looks pretty terrible.
No need to escape the sandbox to abuse the users computer, or reach out to possible secrets, if they happen to go through exported functions.
Are you sure it's any better? Last time I've used a JS heavy site the UX was just utterly awful. Flash had bad bits to be sure but it could be snappy. I had hope we could do better but a lot of sites seem as bad or worse on arguably better hardware.

I'm not sure the tech stack was ever to blame...people would have eventually fixed the bad parts of flash.
I'd say that this article is spot on except for weak spot #2. Mobile Me integrates very well with iOS devices (AppleTV incl.) right out of the box. And then there's that huge datacenter they're building...

BTW, how is Dropbox more compelling than Mobile Me? Sure it's cheaper, but that doesn't mean it's better.

I'm just saying I wouldn't dive headfirst into competition with them in the cloud space just yet. The tethered syncing issue is a valid point, but don't Microsoft and Google already have solutions for that?
For a landing page, I'm think just a basic mockup of one page of the UI. With Launchrock, those pages are even less developed.

So is time even a constraint?
I'm guessing that you didn't read the post... I already did an accelerator, thanks. I wish you luck, though. :)

Would've loved to do Project Skyway back when I was at Carleton, though. Have you reached out to the Computer Science department there? Lots of really smart students, totally disproportionate to the college's size.

I see that you have Jon Dahl is a mentor. That's cool; he's a great guy. I actually met him and some of the fellow Zencoders in SF the day before the interview.
Are there any JITs for JS that end up exposing SIMD instructions on the host processor? Without that, and combined with the fact that JITs still don't necessarily get to C speed even on simple math on raw floats/integers, you're going to take a stiff performance penalty for this, even on the latest JS VMs. User will still be paying for their electricity but will be doing a vanishing fraction of the work... rather than being a great idea it would actually sort of hostile to even offer this option.

NaCl, maybe. Google isn't helping me figure out if it can do SIMD instructions.
I know, right? Reading through the comments on that post, the "you should have told us this last week" comments are just about balanced out by the "why are you wasting time with this instead of getting the PSN back online" comments.
Not really an article. It is a few known facts from the Monday Netflix announcement padded with a large stock image of a house of cards eating nearly 1/2 of the article's length.
How do they claim to own the MX for example.com? Aren't the example.* domains supposed to be reserved?
They say passwords were stolen. This must mean they are not properly hashing passwords with salts stored outside of the database.

How many times does this have to happen before people realize that passwords are never to be stored in plaintext? The only exception is a client-side program that needs to log you in and in an ideal world that would be handled by a Kerberos-like ticket system.
This response was much more substantial than the original article.

To say that the original article was "about" Lisp, or the Lisp Genius, would be akin to my saying that there are fleas "about" my dog.

BTW: I wonder if Rondam(?) knows this guy: http://www.flownet.com/gat/jpl-lisp.html
It's too bad we don't know what's going on inside the sausage factory. It'd make for a very interesting post-mortem.
This is complete clickbait.

It's because many fewer interventional procedures are done when there aren't any doctors to do them. This isn't even really very new. For example, during the Canadian physicians' strike, mortality also went down dramatically.

Any mortality differences would be temporary. The next study will show that mortality increases after cardiologists return from the conferences as they do all of the procedures that they put off, and then levels out again. Simple.

Really not very impressed with this headline, but any opportunity to rag on doctors is typically taken in the mainstream media.
I think the Jack / Anne / George problem was not fully formed if they want someone to come to the conclusion that 'A' is the answer.

For example, in the real world there are more "states" a person can be in than "married" or "not married". For example someone can be "separated", which IMO is not fully in the "married" or "not married" states.

To formulate the question properly it needs to say "in this make believe world, all people are either married or not married". This leads me down the path to conclude 'A' is the answer. Not without this extra bit of context.
The idea that people's living must be tied to their job is not some fundamental axiom, rather it's a practical rule to build a society that works (examples where that rule did not apply could be slavery or communism). We are reaching (arguably have reached already) the point where there is more people than need for work to be done by people, and that rule is not valid anymore.
That's the standard, "nice" answer to how to deal with BS.

In practice, what do you do about sealioning mixed with outright lies? When does your patience run out with explaining why Trump lost the election, or whether the Queen is a lizard? Brandolino's law comes to mind.
are those first class options now? or is it like python where you can kinda sorta sometimes use a jit?
You broke more than one of the site guidelines with this. Please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here.

A corrective upvote would have sufficed. Notice that the comment you're talking about is no longer in a downvoted state.
I used to work at a shop that had hundreds of X4100's running x86 Solaris 10. It was a pleasure to work those hosts. Solaris had some really cool stuff like ZFS, dtrace, Zones/Containers, SMF, etc.

I'll be honest -- I haven't really seen any cases where someone was deplatformed for a legitimate political view. By that I mean a viewpoint that is at least tolerant, if nothing else. If the argument against deplatforming is that people should be allowed to heap hatred on gay people or other minorities, then it's not a particularly strong argument.

Maybe this is just inherent to a conservative viewpoint, I don't know. If progressives are pushing for more freedom, more tolerance, then to oppose it you have to, by definition, advocate for less of those.

I like a spirited discussion, but I believe that intolerance is the one single thing we cannot tolerate. It destroys everything else.

If a group of muslims rushed a barricade and put pipe bombs outside Republican offices in the Capitol because they disagreed with the outcome of a political election, what would you call this action?
I'm sure we will see just that before the end of this year.
It's also unlikely to be true. If they can hear the pilot trying to break the cockpit door down on the CVR, then there is little doubt that most passengers on an A319 can also hear/see same.

Maybe they didn't start screaming until it was obvious that they were going to crash, but they knew that the captain couldn't get back into the cockpit long before that.
Yes, sorry. Misread you. Ignore my comment.
Some countries have a linguistic policy that limits this, European Portuguese (this is not generally the case in Brazilian Portuguese), Icelandic and French for example.
experience.
Note this is from 2008. His about page says:

2010 | MAR
I’m officially out of bankruptcy

Which sounds like he's come around of losing the US$18mil he mentions in that article.

His about page is really impressive. Lots of failures and lots of sucesses. He definitely doesn't give up.
So they need to create paid versions and you pay for this stuff. A game of the same caliber of angry birds would sell for 20 bucks or so as a computer game. There you go, shell out the money. Oh wait since everyone wants it for free you better be willing to pay something. That something is something people see little value in giving away, but is of high value to advertisers.
Curiously enough, I keep seeing smart people using Comic Sans font when they shouldn't. Very, very smart people. Some of my best professors, some of the most talented programmers I know, etc. Even SPJ! ( http://vimeo.com/15467880 )

And then it comes to me if I'm sitting here caring about presentation more than the content like a prude. I'm not picking on anyone -- just remarking on my very own situation =).
Hi iuguy, thanks for your insight. I should have known that OWASP would have more complete documentation on this already. You are absolutely correct in your thoughts that this article was explaining my process (as opposed to THE process). Thanks for the links, I'll be reading them myself
What's wrong with function pointers? Did you know that when you call most I/O functions in GNU libc they go through function pointers? It's a bit of faux OOP.
Is there a licensing distinction between use of the font in an image, and use of a font in HTML?
Honestly this is exactly what I want (quality, repairable, upgradable), but I'm not all in yet. I feel like this space is extremely hard to break into, and I'm worried about their ability to pull it off. Is there massive capital in this corp? Will the price be really high? I'd pay a premium for this kind of thing, but if they start crowd funding it's gonna seem like a red flag.
CPA here.

The short answer is theoretically, yes, but in practice, it's not always practical to have transparent financial reporting.

For context, financial reporting is a tradeoff between cost and effectiveness. Whenever you're reading audited financial statements, you're reading an accounting professional's opinion which would be reasonable given a certain level of constraints. In theory, auditors could audit every facet of an organization and obtain 99.99% assurance, but the financial cost of doing so typically doesn't make sense for the company nor shareholders.

Of the reduced disclosures, the most significant is not having their internal controls audited. For a big company, this is a red flag because the financial accounts are only reasonable if you also have reasonable assurance that there are controls in place to prevent fraud and that they're working effectively.

But for smaller companies where most of the ownership is usually owned by founder-workers, employees, or early investors who are monitoring it on the ground level, there aren't many benefits from increased reporting over internal controls because if they are committing fraud, they'd mostly be defrauding themselves! That, combined with the fact that most early stage companies are already resource-constrained, makes regulators a bit more lenient because they assume investors/employees know what they're getting themselves into.

Now, when a company decides to go public, they need some time to adopt best practices and comply with broader regulations. That takes time, so regulators give them a few years to get the personnel and processes in place without penalizing them. But to cover their bases, they're required to make disclosures like above, so that early investors buying into the IPO know that they won't have similar levels of assurance about the financials for a few years.
As a merchant (not developer) you own your own clients, your storefront and can run seamlessly IRL and online on Shopify - at least thats the pitch. Shopify doesn't suggest to your clients to go buy from another merchant.

In the case of Amazon you own nothing so as a merchant you are thrown into a marketplace where Amazon controls everything and Amazon can take your best products and then make knock offs of them and undercut your sales. Totally different companies - not in the same ball park (Amazon is way bigger then Shopify, don't fall for the false narrative)
I think the author would like TreeNotation [1]

Yeah, your right: https://aws.amazon.com/lightsail/faq/
I think the Trolley Problem is deeply flawed because of the presumption of personal responsibility. I would bet when people put themselves in that position, they don't think of themselves as in charge of the trolley track switching.

I would bet if it were reframed as 'you are in charge of the trolleys. All day long, you control the switching of the tracks. Now you see a situation ...' you would get a totally different answer.

I mean, whenever I imagine this problem, I think ... I would be nervous to pull some lever. I think subconsciously I factor in the unknown of whether I really understand the situation and the result of my action.
Keyboard feel was high on our list of priorities. We engaged one of the bigger keyboard suppliers and worked with them on a custom one with 1.5mm key travel.

We've built a fingerprint reader into the power button using a just-released sensor that has been performing really well in our testing so far. We're seeing False Reject Rates lower than the typical fingerprint readers built into laptops while keeping the right False Accept Rate.
Voting is a right as an American citizen. ID's are not a right, and there's hundreds of years of precedent that government cannot require you to have a specific ID to uphold your basic rights. They only have to be able to reasonably determine who you are, so, name and address.

Governments get around this by having things like drivers licenses that most people then elect into because it's required to drive.

But governments could simply not issue you their specific ID, and therefore youre voided of your rights. It always comes back to government power vs individual rights.
this was probably what someone said at the board meeting when it was rejected. it's right there in plain sight.
Yeah but you can get BetterTouchTool and use 3 finger click to open in new tab. It's awesome.
I wonder do wikileaks accept bitcoins. And if so, does they then sell those bitcoins for dollars/euro to raise money?
I did this with a few Everquest accounts when I was in high school. Unfortunately, it was not strictly allowed under the ToS, so the first one ended up getting banned when I didn't think to change the name.

It's still the closest I've been able to come to explaining the added value of quality copy.
Personally, I view node.JS as a step backwards: it's great to provide the idea of a single thread holding multiple connections, with high-performance non-blocking I/O within each thread; problem is, in their case, there's also a single thread per UNIX process with no primitives for communications between processes (unlike e.g., Erlang/OTP): if you'd want good performance, you want an event loop per logical core.; completely independent processes may be acceptable for simple, stateless web apps, but with most anything else you risk losing a great deal of efficiency without correct primitives. For example, if you have on-disk state, unless the threads are able to share memory (either by running within the same process or using UNIX shm) you're risking a situation where
threads are competing for resources like OS page cache (provided you're not doing your own in-process caching and direct I/O, but even in this case, you've now lost the ability share a resource between any two connections without copying).

Some e.g., Asana have added fibers to Javascript (in their case V8): http://asana.com/blog/?p=49

The previous post from RethinkDB is quite interesting in terms of motivation for coroutines: to me, this superficially seems like SEDA. Here, instead of stages in the pipeline (thread pool per stage, first stage being processing events from epoll/kqueue, thread per core in each pool, each thread holding state machines, communication between threads via a queue) you are using coroutines for clearer code.
Which is really just another form of the quote "know everything about something and something about everything."
I know a few people who run OpenBSD, but none of them use IPSEC.

Are there any figures about the number of people running OpenBSD in situations where they're also using its ISPSEC capabilities?

This, to me, seems like it would be the equivalent of claiming there's a backdoor in SELinux or grsecurity, neither of which seem to have particularly widespread adoption among Linux sysadmins.
> Anyone can write a client that ignores the granted rights.

Not necessarily; the server providing the video can look at your authentication cookie and the current timestamp, and decide whether to send you video or not.

The harder thing is preventing clients from stealing the data. If the player uses an open standard, someone could easily write a version that plays by all the authentication rules, but then pipes the playback bits to the hard drive and then torrent sites. And then suits get nervous about signing over their content, and we're right back to the status quo of digital media.

I hope Netflix has a clever solution for this, but it's hard to see how it's possible.
So one product didn't pan out during its first iteration. Not exactly the end of the world.

This also makes me wonder if they are rolling out the Echo the way they are because of Fire Phone. Invitation only and a (presumably) demand-driven supply chain.
What I don't get about US pricings is that the phone price stays constant whatever the contract.

In the UK a phone might be free on a £45/month contract, £100 on a £30/month contract and so on. Does that not appen in the US?
Where do these prices come from? a 1,000 sq ft apartment in San Francisco would be great to find for $2,500 a month.
I think the reason this behaviour disagrees with traditional ideas about negative reinforcement and punishment is because those theories were built on hierarchical relationships (someone's in charge and doles out conditioning action). If the person receiving the punishment accepts the right of the person doling it out to do so, even if they resent it, they will accept its validity more readily. Also, if they feel unjustly punished, they will focus their ire on the authority rather than the community as a whole. This kind of thing can easily be seen in forums where there is a hard line between moderators and moderated.

When people feel attacked by their whole community (which is what a slew of negative votes feels like), it seems like they'd be far more likely to lash out at that community as a whole, and that means throwing out increasingly antisocial posts and attacking people with downvotes themselves.
