They had a design prototype, that might have been enough. I suspect pricing might have been a part of it, after all, on $32m, even a 1% price difference is a very large amount.
There's a datasheet http://nginx.com/media/cms_page_media/21/nginx_plus_datashee...

But that's got more sales-speak sprinkled in with the technical details.
Well, it will be hard to find a proof for it being the "only" language to do so, since as one of the commenters mentioned there is indeed at least one other. But http://nim-lang.org/manual.html#parallel-spawn seems to discuss it a bit. Or did you want more details? If so, what kind? Actually I don't know anything about Nim anyway, so whatever your question is I can't answer it.
Exactly. In fact, I'd argue this is what "becoming an asset class" means. Liquidity. Secondary markets. Prices that are disconnected with the underlying sneaker. etc.

I think sneaker companies do the opposite to what OP suggests, in fact. They do things like creating abundance in one place and scarcity in another. This creates an opportunity for dealers, speculators, and secondary market activity. That whole complex is what makes sneakers an asset class... which in turn makes it a premium fashion item.

Nitpick: The scarcity isn't perceived. It's real, just "artificial" in the sense that they produce limited amounts on purpose, and limit it in other ways.
Define: "complicated"
I don’t think it’s unfair to call it a drop in replacement, though the current limitations should perhaps be caveated a little more clearly.

I think calling it a drop in replacement highlights that the aim of Zluda is to not require recompilation of the software being run. Maybe “Proof of concept drop in replacement” would be a better description?

It seems, nobody is satisfied with the recent JSON diff utilities and everybody has a different take on it.

A few weeks back I started my semantic JSON compare too: https://paldys.github.io/semantic-json/

Your data stays in the browser. The list compare is pretty naive at the moment, and it doesn't allow key changes as Graphtage promises.
How good are these shoes exactly to justify all this effort and $220 price tag? You can get speciality shoes like Adidas Powerlift for maybe hundred bucks.

Adidas AG produces just 40,000 pairs of each Yeezy release, which are priced at $220 retail and sold through its Yeezy Supply website using a digital lottery.

For $220 you can get a half decent pair of good-year welted shoes, no waiting, any size, any corpulence. For the resale price of these sneakers you can get shoes that will serve you for the rest of your life, you need 6-8 total, not multiple pairs a year. And you can clean them, too. You don't throw them away because you stepped off a train.
They must be neutral in the sense that they should not make specific rules for specific services. We have seen in a previous hn post that webkit has specific rules for quite some websites, now firefox has these replacements for some javascript codes.

This is wrong and will break things: if there are bad behaviors, like the cookie usage, the rules should be changed to prevent it, that's great, but having ifs and replacing selected scripts is a horrible way to go.

First reason for this is that obviously Google will try to go around that rule and change it's script. Or some nasty tricks like using script proxies, ...
Second is that if Google Analytics is blocked by name, then other tracking services will take the space, and users will loose anyway.
That's not quite true. Using a CSS transition on left, top, width etc requires a trip to the main thread, so it's no better of worse to do it with CSS than JavaScript. It is bad in both cases and should be avoided.

Equally animating transform and opacity changes with JS or CSS is normally the same. The only time we can do compositor only is when it's something like an infinite animation of something like a transform; that can be done without hitting the main thread. That rarely happens in real life though. Most apps and sites have way more complex anims going on.
She already is a parody..
I wouldn't call them useless, but I guess I'm used to C++, or worse, just a hex stack dump (yay, game consoles). Clojure mangles names somewhat to make them Java-compatible; you can easily do the reverse translation in your head. Still, this could be automated rather easily.
We have to remember that for every bitcoin sold (at any price), someone on the other side of the transaction is still buying those bitcoins.

Actually, "an exchange made it look like someone bought a coin." https://willyreport.wordpress.com/

Bitcoin probably can't ever prevent good old insider manipulation, because every exchange affects every other exchange due to arbitrage. A price jump of $20 on BTC-e will swiftly travel to Bitstamp and everyone else. So if BTC-e decides to do something similar to what Mt. Gox did, there's nothing stopping them. All it takes is one shady popular exchange.

Bitcoin's dependency on exchanges is its greatest strength and weakness. Without exchanges, you probably wouldn't be able to sell bitcoins locally except in a sporadic way. There wouldn't really be an agreed-on price. But with exchanges, herd dynamics are always in full bloom, and you won't ever escape them.

EDIT: People buy and sell bitcoins at current market rate, and current market rate is defined by exchanges. That means if an exchange decides to make their own price artificially jump up, then everyone else's price will jump up too. That means bitcoin's price will be defined partly by whatever insider manipulation is going on at the time.

There is no blood. Bitcoin isn't viable (yet!) as a long term store of value but anybody that thought that it was should outsource their financial services to Nigerian princes for a better long term return on investment.

If and when bitcoin will be usable as a long term store of value we'll be a decade down the line at least, and if it hovers around $10 by then then I think it should still be considered a small miracle. The hardest challenge that bitcoin has is not to stabilize as a currency (because it isn't) but to simply stay alive. So far so good on that front.
Yet another article from someone who has an obvious personal issue with Bitcoin. For some reason, Bitcoin destroys objectivity in journalists.

Remember when Bitcoin crashed from ~$32 to near zero and everyone said that Bitcoin was dead? I do. THAT was a crash. Even I gave up on Bitcoin for a few days. The author of the article missed a chance to detail Bitcoin's crashes and its recoveries from those crashes.

Even if Bitcoin goes to zero because the network gets attacked, the blockchain itself is now just as much part of network technology as any other protocol.

Digital cash ain't going anywhere, be it Bitcoin or an improved version of the idea.
I think you need to define "interview". I recently just got a new job and in the interview process I definitely did worse on the algorithms than I would've done right out of college, but everything else went great. "Here's how I've done it for 8 years that has been to the satisfaction of people who write paychecks" goes a long way for many companies.
My understanding is that it's not "just" handling payroll taxes, unemployment, etc. There can also be paperwork around establishing legal entities which, of course, gets even more challenging as other countries are involved. It's mostly not that big a deal for large employers but it can be a fair bit of overhead for a small company--with the result that they don't want employees just working anywhere. Mitchell Hashimoto has written about this some with respect to HashiCorp.

What's funny is that I was talking to someone just learning to program the other day, they were learning variables so I asked them if we have int x = 4; and then x = x + 1; what is the final value of x? Their intuition was that this does not make sense since x cannot possibly equal x + 1 in this case. I suddenly realize that Haskell's picture of programming in this regard may in fact be closer to the way people reason about problem before they learn to program.
Maybe the most awesome part of being a human being today is recycling solutions from the past to the solutions of today.

Once upon a time, written language was represented in computers by arrays of characters. Manipulating non-english user content in this model was big pain. Today, effective software dealing with written language uses UTF-8 Characters and the Grapheme abstraction. The problem was solved by separating the concepts of Bytes, Characters and Graphemes, which were previously conflated.

Clearly, it's ineffective to use the same abstraction for "elapsed time" and "time of day" due to the variable length of the day. Representing both concepts with one value leads to the problems described in this article. The concepts should be separated and a new abstraction created: Earth Position (EP).

Statements about the time of day, day of the week or lunar month of the year are really statements about the Earth's position relative to some other entity: the sun in most cases, but sometimes the moon in the case of lunar dates.

Given that "Unix time" is widely understood as "the number of seconds elapsed since Jan 1, 1970", it would be convenient to let it only represent Elapsed Time and define Earth Positional values in terms of Elapsed Time.

The leap second concept should only affect applications interested in Earth Position queries (time of day, etc) and not have any representation at the Elapsed Time level.
A friend pointed out that the volt meter they used had "google" written on it. Do they host third party companies?
Still, it does make you step back and wonder why they've put together Hadoop nodes and intentionally ran them without swap. The resulting OOM is not surprising.
CPython prevents you from using shared-state multithreading to scale your application on multiple cores, but it doesn't prevent you from scaling your application on multiple cores. That's not "playing with words".

It is indeed unfortunate when the limitations of our platforms force us to contort our code to improve performance, but that is just as true of multithreading as of multi-process programming. The difference between the complexity of the two is small.

> I think it's a rhetorical mistake to call it a "privilege" when bad things don't happen to you that shouldn't happen to anybody.

The purpose of the rhetoric is not to accurately describe reality, but to induce guilt in the listener, to make them easier to manipulate.
> Figuring out "how many people from each racial group are likely experiencing food insecurity across the U.S." is an everyday problem?

It's more of an everyday problem than just giving students unlabeled categories.

> Would you think I don't have any ulterior motive if I asked "these are the arrest statistics across the US, tabulated by race. What conclusions can be drawn from this?"?

If by "ulterior motive" you mean raising awareness about different socioeconomic cohorts in American society, I have no issue with those kinds of motives.

If the stance was more aggressive e.g. "you need to draw these conclusions from these numbers and support this kind of policy", that's essentially indoctrination and we can both agree that it's out of place in any genuine education.

But just raising awareness about different demographics and socioeconomic groups and encouraging discussion (in a way that's open, socratic, with minimal teacher intervention): this I have no issue with.
Unless you're able to show how Uber used violence or threats of violence to force drivers to work, it's not slavery.

Even if it was the only employer on the driver labour market, it still would not be slavery — but it's not even that. In almost any labour market that Uber operates in, it has competition.

Indeed - if your government is crap, you have bigger problems to worry about than your currency. Once you sort out the government you no longer have to worry about your currency. There's no world where simultaneously you have an untrustworthy government and you can bandaid over it with crypto.
Yes, this is essentially a PGP-like thing based on elliptic curves instead of RSA, so the keys and the signatures (and the code!) are all much smaller.
Not only that, most users of "big data" make assumptions about what the underlying dataset is. Not all large datasets are unstructured text you are trying to run information extraction on.
Oi. I wish the nice designers of Silicon Valley could give some "pull requests" easily to the KDE team. The design is such a mix of things that don't go together -- some places of translucency, others don't, the pop ups are mostly flat yet the calculator has shadows, the search results and bookmarks have borders on every row yet the launch menu doesn't, the spacing between items in the left side of dolphin is off (too close), the icons are seemingly all over the place (the life preserver is more photo realistic while the hard drive is more cartoony), etc.

I know there are mailing lists and whatnot for this but if the process of helping was easier for normal (and good) designers to help out a little I think we all would benefit. Or at least if you're going to copy Apple pay attention to their ratios.
It probably comforts and reassures them, knowing that they are intrinsically smarter/more hygienic/law-abiding than other people. And they don't even have to prove it!
I was taking a look at JS on CodeAcademy and it looks pretty interesting. I do like the idea of Java as well. I think I will stick to JS as I am more interested in web, I think.
I encourage the 15 minute rule, but not to just ask help from anyone. Another difficult thing to accomplish as a manager is to prevent unnecessary interruptions for anyone on my team. In an ideal scenario all that stuff goes through me. Not because I want that control. It's because I have the responsibility. One of those responsibilities is to get the most out of my team. So if that means interrupt me instead of your teammates that's my preference pretty much 100% of the time, unless I'm unavailable.

There's an awful lot of assumptions to unpack in this comment so I'm not going to address everything. But can we all agree that a country which had GSEs pouring $500 billion into the mortgage market and a decade's worth of government holding short term interest rates at 0% isn't some kind of laissez-fare paradise?

You had "Chicago style" economists yelling at the government to dismantle Fanny and Freddie for years before the collapse, those shining examples of government long-term economic planning. For decades free market economists advocated replacing the Federal Reserves short-term focus on quarterly GDP with a mandate to maintain long-term price stability. Oh, and they have been railing against both parties for racking up such a huge public debt.

Then when the shit hits the fan, all people remember is a caricature of "Chicago-style" economists, not what they actually said and did.

The narrative that the United States lost its way through too much deregulation and free market fundamentalism is cheap rhetoric that doesn't become any more true the more often it is repeated. It is symptomatic of too much education by the way of opinion articles.
If they can establish that an informant is killed as a result of wikileaks wouldn't that be accessory to murder?
It's also assuming that he's telling the truth. From someone who is clearly not trustworthy, I seriously doubt those are his actual financials.
"I get it. You're in favor of Wikileaks and don't like the U.S. government."

I love the US Government and am as a result extremely supportive of projects like Wikileaks.

Sidebar: funnily enough, the partisan breakdown on this issue leads to the same people who say that they don't trust "Government" to build a highway interchange or administer a school but they think it should operate without any oversight whatsoever regarding matters of life and death. I mean, Obama's president now, I can understand hating the guy so bad that you all of a sudden have a huge problem with "Government" but wouldn't that apply to the security state especially?

This is among the sillier NSA stories I've read. First of all, the "link to NSA" was basically invented out of thin air. The original article in Die Zeit as well as this one are basically just reporting that TPM COULD be a "backdoor" for the NSA but not actually supporting the idea that it IS.

And beyond the issue of baseless speculation as a replacement for journalism, it's a little hard to understand why NSA (or anyone else) controlling TPM is a special threat to users. Despite what the article claims, I don't think TPM is a "backdoor" and it certainly isn't a "surveillance chip". And the articles don't explain how control over TPM gives someone a special advantage over computers with TPM support, an explanation I'm not holding my breath for.

> Well-known books like Toby Ord’s “The Precipice” and Philip Tetlock’s “Superforecasting: The Art and Science of Prediction” are important parts of the rationalist firmament.

Aside: I was pretty into the roguelikes that descend from the Moria/Angband line for the better part of a decade. I'd frequently get to know people in that community and, after some light googling, realise they were famous in some other field.

I learned about Toby Ord through a terrific game he wrote called Sil [0], which is a nearly-unrecognizable fork of NPPAngband that sticks tightly to the theme of the Silmarillion. It's a very tight game, and it oozes atmosphere--especially neat considering there is no sound, and only an ASCII-character terminal-like display.

This was also how I first discovered Nick Bostrom and "Superintelligence"; Toby Ord was a postdoc of Bostrom's at the time, and following the chain I stumbled into this work.

I guess roguelikes might appeal to rationalists in particular; there's a lot to reason about in there, but sometimes random things happen and there's just nothing you can do :)
