> without a near 100% guarantee

Well, what percent guarantee would you need? Is 99.9% per year per well good enough? 99.999%? Seven nines? And how do you propose to measure that risk? These types of situations are after all inherently unforeseen.

Anyway, by admitting that a near 100% guarantee is good enough for you (no matter what that "near" is), you've admitted that you're willing to put a price on it. That price is, naturally, the dollar amount that would be required to reach the level of guarantee you want. So yes, the rest of this conversation has just been you being difficult.
My observation is that no matter what language it is written in software tends to evolve towards a level of complexity that is determined by the culture of the people writing it rather than the language. Every project uses up its complexity budget one way or another. The budget is not determined by the language, but by the culture and skill of the people doing the work.

As a simple language, Java tends to result in complicated frameworks. This is a problem because every framework is complicated and different - you can't infer what one is doing by knowing another. Given this, I like having the complexity supported in the language. I'm going to have to deal with it anyway, but at least I can count on the language being the same where ever I go, so I can learn it once and have a reusable skill.
Congratulations. I signed up for an account and played around a bit. I can certainly see myself using this pretty soon. As a couple of people mentioned, instruction creation is a pretty infrequent activity - so a pay per month pricing scheme may not work best. VerticalResponse.com comes to mind (not associated in any way; I don't even use them) - in a market where monthly fees are the norm, they have a pay as you go plan that's tied to distribution (numbers). On another minor point: maybe it's me, but the 'appliance' bit had me expecting a device; I was happy to see there was none.

Heh.
I guessing they wouldn't be able to get an internal power supply in there if it had to power an i3.
I think you are lensing this through your own cultural filters/assumptions.

My first reading is as a veiled threat: honour our agreement or I bring trouble to your heart.
From the guidelines:

"On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic."

The thing is that this "sex vs free speech" topic has been going on for a long time. There are plenty of other sites to discuss it.

It is also the kind of thing that people would be unnaturally attracted to, and yet is low quality content - it has sex, and also seems to be about challenging human rights.

I think it's good that this kind of thing is buried quickly, because more news of this type are not very interesting.
Holy crap, just checked out their pricing and it is $750 per developer (for enterprise edition)! That is more expensive than JetBrains all products, $649.
Exactly. And you can see Christmas. As soon as a paid network administrator is involved IPv6 seems to be a problem :)

Interesting, kjwkdnwl hasn't been seen before in Have I Been Pwned.
Google Sheets is pretty slow to be honest. You want fast tables. Look at Bloomberg terminal. They’ve spent eons optimizing tables.

Google sheets doesn’t even do smooth scrolling that really annoys me. Excel 365 online feels so much smoother.
Interesting perspective. For the record, I was doing radar signal processing for a contractor for the Navy. While there I bumped into plenty of people who were in the Order of Secret Squirrels, and got the definite impression that once you join you never really leave.
Got this one for my granddaughter for Christmas and she loves it: Asus11634 Laptop Intel Atom 2GB Memory 32GB Flash

Paid $148.53 plus tax at BestBuy.com. At first I thought that the 32GB drive would be a problem but with the OneDrive integration she has plenty of space.

She also plays Minecraft and other games without any problems.
Except for the webcam, the MacBook Air works flawlessly with Linux.

As far as BSD goes, I at a loss. :(
> They released a study monitoring the social behavior of 169 people making their first forays online. The web-surfers started talking less with family and friends ...

Does that factor in the amount of communication happening online via messengers, chats or just Facebook comments on someone's live events? It seems that at least portion of this communication has shifted online, not got supplanted by online.
Yes, Panasonic "business rugged" laptops are generally very well made, amazingly light and robust, and come with niceties that you seldom find elsewhere: a good, spill-resistant keyboard, optical drive, physical wireless kill switch, ability to survive 200 pounds of pressure on the lid, etc.

I have an older CF-Y7 model from 2008, with a 14-inch 1400x1050 screen. It's still my primary laptop. With Arch Linux and a tiled window manager, it feels surprisingly zippy.
I've used pleaserun a little in the past. When you're being quick and dirty and using fpm it fits into the workflow quite nicely. It can be a bit awkward if you're deploying things that need anything complex in their init script, like a bootstrap command or something, but if it's just a straight start|stop|restart it works quite well. It's probably not up to generating distro-guideline-compliant init scripts (and fpm obviously doesn't either for spec file) but so long as that's not the goal it's a useful tool.
It's simple - these stories attract the most eyeballs. Ever seen a black swan?
what are your suspicions?
Piano!

Also, Haskell
This sort of attack would be easy to defeat, though. For example, one fix would be to precompute a few megs of randomness data from your hardware source, and only use it after a few minutes have passed since generation. If the malicious RNG can predict the contents of the rest of the pool after this time (without modifying them) then there are bigger problems with the randomness generation.
Too simple:

class DrawACircle
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
System.Console.WriteLine("\u25cb");
}
}
I hear you and I have been a fan of Go for awhile. But, it hasn't really done anything new, especially in regards to programming language theory over the last 30 odd years. It feels like another "developers, developers, developers" play and when you see ultra modern languages like Rust, you sort of get the feeling Go is half baked and without purpose.
> Dart is the innovation.

Wait WHAT?

Not sure if this is supposed to be irony, but if not I'd like to understand your opinion on this.
going with the definition :courteous behaviour, esp towards women
I don't see how doing stuff for someone else falls under that definition. Being polite and say offering to help(where help is understood to be less than 50% of the work) or allowing them the better half of anything shared sure. Out and Out servitude not so much.

As far as Chivalry as the concept when the word came to mean the above definition, yes, and it was killed by women who were tired of being treated as inferiors. As always cultural norms change, being courteous has an entirely different set of connotations than it did three generations ago.
Talking about "class A" is a red herring. There are used addresses and unused addresses. It's not clear how many allocated-but-unused addresses exist because the audits necessary to find them would be expensive, but people have made estimates and those estimates are not that large. At any rate, the transfer market should flush out some of these "dark" addresses once they are needed.
Sorry, what are subventions, and what's I+D?
I was once told (in 1987) that the business plan for FedEx had been developed for a class, and it got a C because the professor believed nobody needed overnight delivery.

Agreed, though there are measurements to (nearly?) all of the graphs.

1: "The git add took around ten minutes to run on the hard drive compared to the 40 seconds for the ssd. Committing was also 1/3 of the time taking only 20 seconds v.s. over a minute."

2: "the seven seconds saved wasn't that much compared to the seven minutes the server (a slow arm based box) was preparing the repo."

etc. And further down there's a chunk of the actual values.

They're weird graphs in general though, with 3 statuses and text that mentions that "status" runs in 2x faster, which is only backed up by one of those status-pairs.
The G2 is notable, because it's an HTC phone with an unmolested version of Android. It's important to note the G1 was not an official Google developer phone, either. You're thinking of the similarly-named, carrier and developer unlocked ADP-1.

Google developer phones:
ADP-1: aka G1
ADP-2: aka HTC Magic, myTouch
Nexus One
Nexus S
Its pretty hard to observe as the luminisence is ridiculously low.
I wonder how far they'd get by first reducing the image to 8bit with palettes (for example using image magic), and then using pngcrush etc.
My company's web server saw a similar unusual surge in traffic with host headers and URLs of Chinese sites for an 8 hour window a few months ago. All the IPs were from a single Chinese ISP, though the volume of the traffic was a lot lower than what OP observed. Seems like these events aren't uncommon.
I live in China.
We have a department named 工信部, it blocks a site by polluting the DNS and point the domain name to random foreign IP.
I think this explains what happened here.
That is not likely at all. There is literally no evidence supporting that. It is simply an explanation that allows Ross's supporters to explain away the facts. The preponderance of evidence is that Ross is OK with murder.
This is one of the reasons why I'm moving to Rails. Frontend work is quite hard with templates and most of the community has moved towards Reactjs because of that, which I don't like.

I think they designed it this way because they assumed that the backend and front developers would be different persons/teams, which makes sense for many projects but for me I'm just a solo dev trying to get work done as fast as possible.

The way Rails does things with ERB makes total sense. DHH himself said that Rails was designed in a way that a single dev can take the framework and build something with it, no teams, no microservices, just plain Rails.

ERB is more dangerous than Django Templates but I like it when a framework doesn't try to protect me from myself.
> there are flat earth "networks" too, that doesn't mean they are right.

The two seem different. It's like saying to a flat-earther who calls themself a flat-earther using whatever subjective/pseudoscientific term they choose, and saying "no you're not."
Yeah, like job titles are at all meaningful.
It sounds like you also need to pay the Stripe processing fee, so I don't think that's viable in this case?
Would love to hear more about this, I've got a couple of design diagrams and thoughts on my "ideal SSO setup". My contact info is in my profile.
That's less of a problem with building to spec (security is not a "spec") but instead with employees who are not familiar with keeping data safe, companies that give too much access to regular developers (e.g. Uber, I can attest), or engineers who are underqualified but charming or otherwise smooth talkers that worm their way into security-related positions when they have little to no experience or knowledge in that area.
>BSODs

yup, save for overclocking (or undervolting, which is essentially the same) I have not seen BSODs for a decade plus. I have seen laptops overheat due to clogged/uncleaned air vents, but that's a hardware issue.

flip note: what's wrong w/ the parent's post to deserve the downvotes.
I think this is where we will see strong adoption first. Although it will probably not do much to increase profits as its a commoditized industry, but it will bring prices down for those who use it.
Apple makes all of its devices and therefore controls them. Google can't dictate to Samsung, HTC, LG, etc.

Google has updated the in-support Nexus devices. The Galaxy Nexus is something of a question mark, but the number of active Galaxy Nexus devices is tiny. It would make more sense for Google to offer GNex users a new device than to upgrade the few remaining GNex's to 4.4.
I'd bet on the FU ... but of course you can blame that on Bush ^_^ (those issues were ... finessed back then, this is about liability). As for:

"Not to mention that even tho this is purely "civilian"(like that thing actually exists) nuclear technology"

To a great degree it does exist with civilian reactor designs that can't easily change fuel, e.g. not the Canadian CANDU or Soviet RBMK (Chernobyl) ones. If you brew uranium fuel rods for much longer than a month, you get too much of two undesirable isotopes.

One encourages fission, and even in weapons grade plutonium precludes gun assembly warhead designs like Little Boy, the other gives off a lot of heat which is useful in powering deep space probes but otherwise is ranges from a pain in weapons grade to giving off 100kW of heat per what I've read.
You can use a fake email account, such as shurcooL@shurcooL.com
I don't know what your end goals are but I'd say the safest thing to do is probably to pick tech that is not yet outdated (eg. PHP) and not too shiny or arcane either (React or Haskell respectively - while both great, probably not the best place to start).

If your goal is to seek employment 6 months from now, I'd say Django / Angular is a pretty safe bet. I guess if you want to focus on one language, you could use Node instead of Django and target frontend development.
Yes, that’s how it works. `yield` is only reserved in ES5 strict mode. But due to it only being a keyword inside generators, there are no problems in non-strict mode.

i meant by "everyone" as in there's no special privileged class of people that were allowed to become techies. Of course, not everyone can afford a college education, but in general, back in 2004, right after the big crash, the openings were available, the opportunities existed then. It just looks risky back then, because tech just crashed. However, if you weren't willing to take on risk, you cannot blame that the outcome for those who take on risk gets more.
why the makefile and src directory? Why not put the source in the root directory, so that go get github.com/jgrahamc/httpdiff would just work? The makefile doesn't even do anything useful, and just makes it so that poor windows folks can't build your code for no good reason.

Strange, most blogs that I've read discuss the pain involved.

http://spin.atomicobject.com/2014/06/06/f-sharp-mono-unix/

I guess it's the same with any new product or language: when there are a lot more great testimonials than cries of pain, then it's actually safe to use that product.
I recall an experiment that Gowers was doing when he had a program that would write proofs to basic theorems and questions that an undergraduate math major might encounter in a first analysis or linear algebra course. His experiment was to see if other could distinguish between proofs written by students and proofs written by the program.

You can see some of that in [1] and [2]. Although I was not fooled (nor do I think that people who both understand analysis and have a bit of foresight into the structural approaches such a program would take would be fooled), it was interesting to see.

I’ve seen the Georgia video with the black containers placed under a table. After all the poll watchers were asked to leave, the table is moved out of the way and ballots were pulled out of the containers. Nobody has explained that from what I’ve read and it doesn’t really make any sense why it was hidden and why was it pulled out after all the witnesses were asked to leave at the end of the night?
Musk isn't great enough to deserve such a high title of lunatic. More like arrogant madman.
As an "uncontrolled lunatic" myself, they are rather obvious in the field.

I'll agree that many of the things he says are reasonable. An example is his recent defense of long lines and dismissal of the insane "80 characters per line" peeps.

What I mean specifically by "uncontrolled lunatic" is that he often ignores convention and current opinion and does and says things that get him into trouble. He also has a temper that he often is bad at controlling. I myself have this issue, and I don't see how one could say he does not have issues in this regard.

While it requires some amount of perpendicular thinking to be a master of software, having such an attitude and working with other people in that way will cause too much conflict that is unnecessary.

I think what you are missing in my statement is that I consider calling someone an "uncontrolled lunatic" as a sort of compliment.

I agree also that he is less of a technical person and more of a manager. His skills lie in herding.

On the other hand; Git is a flaming piece of garbage and he is directly responsible for its popularity... so... He did though reasonably tell people he didn't intend for anyone outside of kernel developers to use it. I just wish he corrected its deficiencies. Maybe someday he can apply his "arbitrary character restrictions are silly" logic to Git comments and become less contradictory.

That's pretty much the same view I hold, I just couldn't stop myself being a bit less polite about it.

When Hobbes coined the idiom "nasty, brutish and short" he was thinking of a lifestyle with next to no guarantees. You might be dead at any moment.

Compared to that, I can't really see how first worlders being a bit less comfortable than previous generations is a valid use of the phrase.
> Mendez reportedly was not swayed by ISPs' claims that a net neutrality law isn't necessary because they haven't been blocking or throttling Internet traffic.

What? Is that an actual legal argument? "You can't pass a law unless people are actively breaking it" doesn't make any sense.
yes if that happens bitcoin is over. but having said that it doesn't seem like it'll happen soon.
Quoting the "Preface to the Revised Report" in my link: "...the language defined in THIS Revised Report is called STANDARD PASCAL." Two paragraphs later: "... the new procedures READLN, WRITELN, and EOLN have been included in the set of standard procedures..." Sorry that ETH has outdated stuff, but this is an accurate image of the actual, physical book authored by Wirth, as published and sold by Springer-Verlag, in which he says it describes STANDARD PASCAL. I have it in my possession if you don't believe the scans that are on the internet.
They cater to what's left of the old Amiga community. It is a re-implementation of AmigaOS 3.x, so it's probably not for everyone. :)
> On the contrary, Kanner held tightly to his original proposal that autism was an innate condition, which was widely understood to mean it had a genetic basis. His behavioral observations of parents contributed to a breakthrough concept that is wholly consistent with genes being a key part of the autism story. Instead of parenting causing autism, Kanner’s idea — which has since been validated — was that autism (and its genetic roots) underlies some of the behavior in a subset of parents.

Fun 1-month social experiment

Carry around a notepad.

Week 1: Every time you say "but", make a mark. Don't try to change anything, just keep track.

Week 2: try to not say "but", ever.

For weeks 3 and 4, do the same thing, but with commas.

Periods are more powerful than commas.

Weak: "Look, to be honest, I don't know why the server crashed, but I'm doing what I can to find out."

Strong: "I don't know why the server crashed. I'm working on finding out."

Weak: "I'm not saying the deal's off, but unless we can sort out clauses 3 and 4, I don't see how we can move forward."

Strong: "Clauses 3 and 4 are blockers. I would like to figure them out so we can move forward."

Weak: "I'm not saying your brother is fat or lazy, just that he could do with some more exercise and maybe get a job."

Strong: "Your brother is fat and lazy. He should get a job and lose weight."

Weak: "I know it's none of my business, but she could do a lot better."

Strong: "I don't like her boyfriend. Luckily we're grownups and don't have to agree on everything."

For every person who is shocked and offended by this approach, two people will respect and trust you for it. It's a net win.
