> Should "rack" be called standard-http-server-api-with-support-for-middleware, and then "unicorn" be called pre-forking-web-server-using-standard-http-server-api-with-support-for-middleware?

No, but perhaps we could have:

WebServer = require_any_satisfying_protocol 'http-server/with-middleware-support'
WebServer.new

where each rubygem installed has a table of protocols each of its classes and modules support. For example, Mongrel would have a table that starts:

{Mongrel::HttpServer => ['http-server', 'http-server/with-middleware-support']}
But maybe not the evils the government commits tomorrow which we won't hear about because of censorship.
It's significantly easier to get into Google and then transfer to search quality than it would be to get into a graduate program, get the Ph.D, and then get the necessary data and machines to do top-level work in IR. Just look at the number of tenured professors that accept jobs at Google.

FWIW, I've been working in Google Search Quality since I joined the company nearly two years ago. I don't work in ranking, but I have high-level knowledge of how the whole system works that's better than you'd get out of a textbook.
Was anyone else expecting to see the photo on that page?
I enjoyed it when I first read it a couple of years ago and the recent blog post from tsuna on context switching reminded me of it (http://blog.tsunanet.net/2010/11/how-long-does-it-take-to-ma...). Glad to see some other folks like it, as well.
technically no, but practically yes - most implementations discard routes more specific than a /24 to prevent their routing tables from becoming unmanageable.

Stealing a /24 is an awful amount of leverage in convincing the ISP to disconnect a /32 as long as you have enough pull to ensure large networks will continue to respect your routes.
I find situations like this extremely difficult to understand. I really don't get it at all.

Either we have a system where you are innocent until proven guilty, have a right to a fair trial, good evidence has to exist, you have a right to privacy, a right to trial by jury, no corruption, no torture, etc. etc. or we don't. That's it.

We are continually chasing our tail re-asking questions about when each of these things is appropriate and when they are not. So here's my solution: we make a list. Each time people ask these same questions again and again and again, we point at the list. It'd save billions of dollars too, I bet.

Personally, I don't think Hadoop's model is all that complex (obviously, if you can solve the same problem with a quick script, you have to be insane not to) but it's nowhere near in terms of polish to the tools Enterprise Java devs are used to. Creating a new cluster for example is a pain compared to the usual "unzip, copy datasource XMLs and jars, run start" for application servers.
Thanks, I was not aware of that aspect.
I don't think the tribalism is even really in the language communities themselves as much as it is among onlookers, casual users, or otherwise fans of either language. (Note that there is certainly plenty of enthusiasm for each language in its respective community).

Rust in particular seems to have a large following of people who aspire to use it but haven't really learned it or used it in anger (this especially used to be the case). Basically they (like me) appreciate the ideas of strong static guarantees, strong performance characteristics, and the general aesthetic of Rust code compared to other high-performance languages or other "functional languages".

But those people (and to a lesser extent, many in the Rust community proper) tend to believe that Rust is optimal for those use cases that are conventionally considered to be Go's purview, which is to say they believe Rust is more productive than Go, Python, Ruby, Java, etc for the sorts of applications that those languages are regularly used for (SaaS application backends and other network services). They argue that you just need a little more experience with Rust and you will hit some productivity nirvana; however, each year, I (and many others with experience in this domain) get another year of experience with Rust (as a hobbyist--not full-time development) and still I'm far more productive in Python and Go than I am with Rust.

And I don't think the "just need a little more experience" argument holds water. It's based on the idea that the borrow checker and memory management in general become progressively more natural. Well, I have a decade of C and C++ experience and manual memory management is very natural (almost said "super natural") to me, and the trend is asymptotic--with more experience you do indeed get better with the borrow checker and memory management, but it never quite reaches the point where it's in the same ballpark as a garbage collector (where you truly don't need to think about memory management outside of hot spots).

Of course, GC languages also don't help you deal with race conditions, but 99% of the code we write in these domains isn't subject to race conditions (and if you are writing something that is pervasively subject to race conditions, it might well be worth considering Rust).

Note that there are a handful of very smart, well-respected (and deservedly so) people who also have lots of experience with Rust and who are familiar with the domain in question who disagree with me. I think theirs is the niche opinion, but I think it's worth hearing them out and forming your own opinion.
When you’re an interviewer and you’ve asked the same question enough (tens of time is plenty, really) you’ve seen it all and it’s really obvious when someone has seen the question before.

People who haven’t seen the question before always stumble somewhere. There’s something they didn’t notice at first and need to account for, their solution is not structured optimally for the follow ups, they iterate over some possible solutions while thinking out loud to eliminate them etc.

It’s honestly not that hard to tell when someone is pretending they haven’t seen it before.

I don't disagree with you. You should argue with the comment I replied to.
I couldn’t care less about the graphics. I agree with you on the rest.
Later this year? WOW. The long nose of hype building :(
From the comment they replied to: https://vpnscam.com/
yeah but it somehow very hard to automate/use it in containers where access is strictly censored. APMs like Newrelic provides similar capabilities.
Elon is a lot of things, but a good actor he is not. Watch the livestream for a few mins before to a few minutes after the throw. He was noticeably thrown off and flustered. The audience knew he was uncomfortable and cheered him for support. The whole thing was cringe inducing.
Claiming that some mysterious and hard to define property that we can't measure even in principle "exists" in some meaningful way strikes me as the stronger claim than the skeptical take does.

Why do you think the burden of proof should be inverted? The mere fact that most humans intuitively feel "something" doesn't count for much of anything, especially once you stipulate that p-zombies would vote the same way.
The 14 eyes (used to be 5 eyes, way back when), and Russia (ex-Soviets) were colluding with even Kerberos back-doors back in the 90s, why do you assume that various nation-states are at odds with helping one-another keep track of the on-line behavior of their respective citizens?

The government intelligence apparatus (apparently apparatii is incorrect both in English and in Latin?) have more in common with each other than they do with "us".
EE here. You could replace every instance of software engineer in the article with electrical engineer and it would absolutely ring true.

I think the most important point was that engineering is an essentially creative profession but many of us are not valued for our creativity.
Reminds me of Digital Fortress
Thanks to nuclear power France is at 5 tons per capita per year. About 1.3% of French GDP. Way cheaper than the economic damage that will be inflicted by “doing anything at the coordinates global governments level.”
>> I am curious if we could just grow meat in a lab environment.

The man who has bankrolled the production of the world's first lab-grown hamburger has been revealed as Google co-founder Sergey Brin. The internet entrepreneur has backed the project to the tune of €250,000 (£215,000), allowing scientists to grow enough meat in the lab to create a burger – as a proof of concept – that will be cooked and eaten in London on Monday.

http://www.theguardian.com/science/2013/aug/05/google-sergey...
Agreed, I think that it would be easier to adapt other animal protein sources than adapting veggie proteins to meat.
Maybe I'm wrong in this, but I read:

peaceful people engaged in voluntary trade like
[...] the operators of the Silk Road Market

to be a claim that the Silk Road Market operators were "peaceful people" that the FBI had no business going after. I don't know anything about the case against Charlie Shrem, but that "and" groups Charlie Shrem and the Silk Road operators into the same bucket.

So long as that quote is being faithfully reproduced, I don't see how talking about his prison sentence has much to do with what I'm talking about.
> they also share their findings with the police from time to time

So does Kitboga - he's been keeping in touch with fraud departments to close bank accounts whose numbers he gets from the scammers, and occasionally has people help him with OpSec so he can figure out the details of these.
I think about how strange it is we measure level of ability by years on the job, rather than level of achievement during those years.
Just like in finance, most (consumer/laymen) people are looking for a big win when it's been shown over and over that small gains compounded over time always come out ahead.
Are you saying that outrun's cache after one or more runs of e.g. ffmpeg could be zipped, and turned into a standalone package?
Article 25 of the declaration of human rights says that people have the right to shelter.

It's so odd that in the 21st century, we still believe that some people somehow deserve their poverty, because we would rather listen to economical indicators rather than seeing people being homeless.

Countries might be modern and developed to reduce poverty, but there are still societal beliefs that some people should not be helped. I'm happy I don't live in the US, because I would probably be homeless or an addict if I did, and there would be hordes of people claiming it's "survival of the fittest" and that it's fair game, because life involves competition, which is a fallacy of nature.

The nazis actively promoted social darwinism, and the nazis are gone, but sometimes I feel like social darwinism is alive.
Considering that one of Apples major revenue streams is selling hardware, you'd think Apple would want to actively support Linux.
Yea, definitely agree. I've had murderous oncall shifts at some companies where the expectation was to just deal with it. Life is short. Bad oncalls affect your health and happiness. You can only do so much to change your org from the bottom rung. Look for a solid company that invests in improving the app enough and one where you can be happy.
Prolog is declarative instead of imperative. Playing with just a toy example will be eye-opening. You don't need to add the tool to your daily tool chest, but rather expand your horizon.
To be fair, software engineering connects better to the interests of STEM-ish kids (video games, robotics, electronics) than spreadsheets ever could.
Another long-running one (though not as much of a money-sink) is Spaceventure, by the creators of Space Quest. Star Citizen appears to have an estimated delivery of Nov.2014, but the estimated delivery of Spaceventure was Feb.2013. The game entered beta almost half a year ago.

> But shifting to DST all the time lets people go out Friday night, get to bed an hour earlier, sleep as much as they need, and still have that extra hour of daylight on Saturday! :)

Here's where we fundamentally disagree—I think that extra hour is completely imaginary! Our natural wake up times are mostly determined by the sun, so on average, a person who naturally wakes up at 10 am standard time on Saturday will just wake up at 11 am instead. You end up with exactly the same amount of daylight!

The way that we experience time isn't something a law can change.
I wish this was available as a tool for people to use! It's neat to see their list of pregenerated examples, but it would be more interesting to be able to try things out. Personally, I get a better sense of the powers and limitations of a technology when I can brainstorm some functionality I might want, and then see how close I can come to creating it. Perhaps at some point someone will make an open source version.
Many low-density things need to be shipped fast, though. But I guess that niche is not big enough.
>Objectively, why can't Iran have a nuclear program while Israel, India, and Pakistan can?

Because Iran signed the NPT unlike the others and should abide by its commitments? Because Iran is the country which threatens other countries publicly? Because the Pakistani bomb is enough of a problem and nobody really needs another such problem?

>They are a regional superpower and the United States invaded and destabilized their neighbor causing widespread chaos throughout the region. Civilian casualties from violence in Iraq following the destabilization of the '03 war have been estimated at around 200,000.

How many of those are the result of Iranian involvement? For that matter, how many civilian casualties are the result of Iranian 'stabilization' in Syria?

>The US did shoot down an Irainian civilian airliner in 1988 and refuse to apologize about it.

Read your own cite, there was an agreement and compensation.

>And then assassinated one of their generals earlier this year.

Who had been involved in attacking American soldiers.

>They [SA] don't need them. They can do whatever they want in the region while the U.S. looks away and sells them the weapons to do it.

SA couldn't even respond to the attack on their oil facilities. I was talking about the Iranian nuclear problem though.
And beyond environment, it's likely (but not certain) that your child's genetics predispose them to enjoy programming, if you do.

From John Carmack Twitter's feed, it sounds like his kid is well on his way to being a great programmer, which should surprise no one.
Skype? Microsoft has systematically ruined skype. It used to be a great service, though.
It never works out like that in theory or practice. A company cannot retain it's value all by itself. Value is assigned to the company by 3rd parties. If you started a company and claimed that your stock is worth $100 per share, and there are no buyers, are you really worth $100? However, if you claim to be worth $100, and I offer you $120, you would sell to me because you think you're worth less than what I'm paying for it. The moment I bought it I actually created value for your company because I just demonstrated to the entire market that you are worth more than you think. Then everyone else will start pricing you higher. It has huge knock on implications. Buffet buying Apple was basically a huge buy signal for many investors, and that action itself increased its value.
As someone who is against NN and has been against it for years, I’m happy to see that NN activists still have no better argument to make than dreaming up these fictional scenarios, because the more you exaggerate the more people start to question it.

The fact of the matter is that none of your doomsday scenarios have happened. The fact of the matter is that last mile internet has become more competitive in the past 4 years. The fact of the matter is that most economists are against NN, and those that are for it are only for it because they believe that last mile internet access is monopolistic — something that is increasingly harder to argue.

Make a real argument. How is it more efficient to get the government involved? Why does the government have the right to claim authority over privately owned infrastructure? Why now, and if NN is so essential, why did the internet have so little trouble developing over the past 2 decades?

No, I’m sorry. I don’t think we should force ISPs to follow rules that would require dramatic overbuilding of their infrastructure. I think we should leave the internet alone.
> Nobody was ever doing that. The image in question was a crafted example of what someone imagines is possible.

This is precisely how it works in many countries without net neutrality. Here's a classical example: https://twitter.com/RoKhanna/status/923701871092441088/
Would be interesting to estimate and compare nuclear vs alternative "initial co2 efficiency per 1 megawatt priduced", considering large lifespan and power of reactor.
Yeah that could happen but why? The architectures are different. What benefit is there? Many Japanese companies actually treat North American Market as a secondary thought, Nintendo in a sense is one of them.
Your comparison is incredibly exaggerated. Being a highly-paid C-level exec of a $120B corporation that holds people's lives in its hand isn't exactly a human right like living in a household. It's as much a privilege as anything can be. And it can and absolutely should be revocable when you show your leadership allows people to people die under your authority, your awareness notwithstanding. When hundreds of people die under your watch, it isn't about you anymore. It's about the rest of society. You can tweak it if you feel it prohibits things like being a CEO of a self-proprietorship or a small family business or whatever; I don't care if you want to do that. Just draw a line that ensures they would get nowhere near a position like this in the future.

The ultimate point being: you can still let them make decisions about their own lives if you want, but that doesn't imply you have to let them make decisions that affect other people's lives.
Seems very nice, I'll have my kids try it next.

They're currently using Mu (https://codewith.mu/) which has similar goals (very streamlined IDE aimed at kids and beginners).
Trump supporters think that was a protest in the same way they think Donald Trump is a successful business man.
> I wonder if there's a psychological reasoning underneath.

boredom

A safe, regulated, mechanically functioning society day after day is boring as hell†. Catastrophe is one of the easiest changes to imagine and fantasize about. Which is probably also why dystopian cyberpunk is more popular than utopian sci-fi.

† If you don't get enough leisure time or have enough activities to fill it with.
No, thats not what I said. Your misinterpretation starts at the very first sentence.
I said "people with guns are less likely to be brutalized by the gov or literally anyone."

>And trying to do self defense with a gun is a terrible idea in most circumstances.

statistics say otherwise also statistics cant even capture the self defenses that weren't needed because someone had a gun and could have used it if needed.

>(Though trying to fight government abuse with a gun is also a terrible idea.)

trying to fighting against anyone isn't self defense. no where did I say anything the like you just made that up.

>Deciding not to carry around a gun is very different from deciding not to defend yourself. It's not victim mentality.
You are seem unable to completely read and understand my post. You cant just pick one part and ignore the rest. I clear said that if you cant defend yourself its not the same as if you voluntary dont want to. There are many valid reasons why you would not carry a gun and so if you dont have one you obliviously cant us it. Not the same as if you want to have guns removed from anyone so people no longer have a choice.
If you post on Reddit to promote a stock and also buy some of that stock, you’re fine.

If you denounce the stock at the same time as you sell it, you are also fine.

If you promote-and-sell* or denounce-and-buy, the SEC will be contacting you for assistance in their ongoing investigation.

Short it all the way down. Then buy at the bottom. It will rise again... Rather ugly way to do things, but it can work for them...
> In my personal experience I found home-row typing to actually be unergonomic mostly because of the additional bend required from moving both hands closer together.

I've always thought this too.

I've been typing a lot since about 1996 and never got into home row typing. It never felt natural or comfortable and I don't have abnormally sized hands either. It just felt like going against the system.

I don't want to jinx myself but over the decades I've experienced no pain or issues with any joints or muscles but I've always made sure no matter what desk I used my forearms were parallel to the floor and my wrists were effortlessly resting in front of the keyboard. I think this aspect cannot be ignored, especially for long sessions.

Then for typing style I mainly move my hands around while I type with my all of my fingers except pinky fingers. Where like 80% of typing is done with thumbs, index and middle fingers. Overall I have lots of hand movement and can type without looking for just about all key presses (except some combos) at about 70-75 wpm with good accuracy.

Based on his video, my hands move probably 2x more from side to side but the overall style is kind of similar. It's also similar in the sense that my right hand moves more than my left.
Wow, I didn't know that porting to FF was so easy. Good to know!
Seems pretty good, is this new? I was recently looking at cellular internet providers and missed this.
When it gets to 3 days / week, it will be easy to introduce variation: have people work in shifts.

First three days -- shift A; second three days -- shift B; one free day for all together. You want more time together? Synchronize with your family members to work the same shift, and you get four free days together.
Some European countries have more guns than you’d think. Iirc it’s estimated that some countries like Switzerland have more guns per capita than some US states (New Jersey is usually the lowest per capita).

The difference is in gun culture. Very few Europeans identify with guns as much as Americans occasionally do.
That jumble of letters does impart deep meaning. In this case it tells me very precisely that you banged on your keyboard at random, because that's got an infinite kind error in it.

Documentation is powerful stuff, especially when it's machine-checked the way Haskell type signatures are.
