With this approach you can keep all of the traffic inside a WebWorker, so nothing blocks.
You also get the benefit of not having to open a new connection for every request and automatic reconnects when someting goes wrong. The connection is most likely already established before you even need it.
How often will you be pushing out new releases? every 18 months? 24? etc.

Personally, I am waiting until av1 hardware decoders are more common, and BT 5 LE Audio (so they can stream to wireless headsets easily) is out as well.
He has a solid point, but I can't help feeling the cure is going to prove worse than the disease here. Apple blocking flash is like Galadriel taking the ring and crushing Sauron. The reasons it's bad have nothing to do with any redeeming qualities on Flash's part.
Why not get a test before the shot?
See, I understand if you meant "how to spend it all on my desires for luxuries."

But if you truly meant "how to spend it all," I disagree with you. Every day, I think of a new company that would make the world a slightly better place. Every day, I wish I had 50 billion dollars so I could call my manager up, tell him "you have 3 million, find someone who can solve this problem," and have it done.

Hey, just building a worldwide cellphone network with enough bandwidth to not suck and decent international rates could take up more money than I could ever possibly earn.

Dream big.
Not sure what nice safe European city this was designed in but it would be stolen in about 5 minutes after I locked my bike somewhere here.

Just give me a mini-USB compatible charge port instead, the industry should have standardized on that by now. All my emergency Nokia cellphones use a different sized charger hole!

ps. the end of that plug in the picture does look like mini-USB at least - maybe Deal Extreme can make a $5 clone of this so when it gets stolen I won't feel so bad.
The civility on HN is unparallelled

I submit that http://ask.metafilter.com is as good, or better. Mostly due to their excellent moderators.

Also because you have to pay $5 to join and they impose traffic caps on newer users to get around some of the spamming problems. So yeah... not entirely apples-to-apples.
"a (most likely verbal) contract" => most likely he actually has a signed contract, no? Why do you think otherwise?
I wonder if people are being unnecessarily negative on this discussion thread. It seems to me that his best bet is to start something that he can manage in his spare time that solves a problem. That's not easy but it's not horribly difficult either. I was able to bring a product to market in my spare time and recruited sales people to sell it. I have even lined up speaking gigs at conferences in my vertical (no idea if I'm actually going to be any good at this).

I realize that this person is different than me but I did it for a similar reason: I have to make extra money to provide for my family in the long term. Consulting actually seemed harder to me because you need to put in a consistent amount of time and if you have a family that's very hard to do. I still work a job during the day but my evenings are spent largely improving my product and writing marketing copy for the website I'm having designed.
maybe they had you on an old cluster of commodore 64s they had repurposed for serving gmail?
How would you go about verifying someone's real identity? Or by real names do you mean having identities strongly linked to accounts on other systems (e.g. Facebook) that probably have more reputable identity details?

Even Certificate Authorities these days don't do a whole lot of verification of your identity when getting a personal certificate - it's usually at the level of checking that you have access to an email account.
That's fair, thanks for the response!

The use case I'm interested in would be running the test-bot automatically in a Jenkins/buildbot/whatever environment, where you point the bot at a repo of Formulae and it dumps bottles to a storage provider like S3. Once the dependency caching issue is resolved, I'm interested in getting this to a point of anyone being able to relatively trivially deploy it.

The other use case would be commercial entities wanting to distribute closed-source libraries or other software via bottle-only. So they'd want to run something as CI that would watch the private repo for a tag, and once tags are created, would automatically bottle those releases and push them out.
This is software adjustable? That's very impressive engineering. Unfortunately this a 2014 MBP.
Docker Swarm mode is alive and well and not going anywhere. It's right there, built into the regular Docker CLI.
If you’re serious about any of these questions, it’s easy to do the research — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_III_reactor

Personally yes, I would live next to a nuclear reactor in preference to any other form of electricity generation. Living near a coal plant is an ugly death sentence. Living in the shadow of a big damn is vastly more risky. Windmills are noisy, and tend to be in very exposed environments.

Nuclear is quiet and clean. The very few accidents still leave it as clearly the lowest-risk method of generating energy.
Associated account bans are a thing in the Android world. I don't know if this extends to other Google platforms.
Just don't forget to keep your strategic reserve of all the fab-made components 3D printer is built of.
There is no long-term solution to getting murdered in your sleep either, but we manage to live with that.

In fact, at the risk levels that we are accustomed to dealing with on a day-to-day basis, there are plenty of adequate solutions to disposal and storage of nuclear waste.
But it’s not enough to steal a blank YubiKey from the office storage room. You would have to steal some specific person’s activated YubiKey, and that person will notice it if they need the key regularly to do their job.

Could be we are on the wrong side of the firewall for that, although I agree.
Well trolled.

In actual fact, there's more 'slaves' today than at any time in history.

For one, legalized slavery in the US - prisoners are forced to manufacture household appliances, number plates, military uniforms etc. If they refuse, they get solitary confinement and other punishments.

Perhaps the concept of 'freedom' is a good one, but it doesn't map in any way to the real world.

It's not like they created the concept of 'freedom' and then slavery ended.
> I wonder why this is downvoted so much.

I believe that it's a preference for "oh, that's interesting" explanations. "No, it wasn't a complex system of propaganda and psychology, it was mostly guns and labor camps" is a simple explanation that's less entertaining and evokes rejection.

Would love to know this as well. I only have a high level understanding of the purpose of CA Certs, but beyond that I'm lost.

Ignorant questions ahoy:

1. Using Chrome, would you have to manually accept the MITM certificate?
2. Could such a certificate be valid across multiple domains?
3. Would it pose any threat to the computer if it was moved from the MITM network to an outside network?
4. What kind of potential problems could occur if I issued a self-signed certificate for my network?
MirageOS is already a thing, I wish they'd pick a new name.

If the options aren't that far in-the-money, and he doesn't need the cash now, it's actually better to wait to exercise.

If he exercises now, he only gets the raw value (current price - strike).

If he waits to exercise, he get the time-value of money and implied leverage (he doesn't have to cough up the strike until he exercises), and the optionality part (if Netflix goes below the strike, he can decline to exercise).

He also can hedge by short-selling (and lock in a sure profit no matter what), but you'd need a big-value account at a brokerage to hedge on favorable terms.
23 and me is an example of the least ambitious thing you could do with genomics.
Honestly, I think you are being needlessly negative. There is a lack of life sciences research funding and an oversupply of life science researchers. What's the disadvantage of more biotech startups? Public-private collaborations with small nimble startups sounds like a dream come true, compared to years waiting for the wheels to turn in collaborations with big pharma.
Is that a better deal than Quora's "you may exercise options within 10 years of grant date, whether or not you still work for the company"? Per http://blog.samaltman.com/employee-equity .

Along this line, I've always loved Nullsoft's "beep" program. It makes your (windows) computer sound like it's right out of a 70s movie.

It does get annoying, obviously.
Took an unusually long time for everything to load and it didn't load from top to bottom, mixed everywhere.

But, it is very nice and well formatted. 10/10 would refresh again.
On large files less fires up immediately and vim is quite slow. I think that vim is loading an entire file in the memory while less just loads visible chunk. May be other vi implementations are more efficient with large files.

Besides — vim really shouldn't be used on log files. It's editor, not viewer.
I’ve heard OSM is particularly good in a lot of European countries-from an update and accuracy point of view.

It would be interesting to get that statement, because .NET original plan was to be what WinRT is.

A improvement over the COM runtime with better tooling, but then they pivoted the idea with J++, and had to reboot it with .NET for the reasons we all know.

You really only need the first one.
Good for getting started with network programming. My university refers this for the computer networks lab course.
For miners it's economical to expand into any energy source cheaper than the average used in the network. (Simplified) That means instead of making clean energy and using in houses, miners are first in line for the extra load on the cheap sources and we have to keep burning fossil fuels too support the load which existed before. That's not a path to resolving anything.

Pull the other leg. It works once it works for them until now ? ? You're either not paying attention to the article, or you're set in your ways, which id love to hear.

> The company is responsible for correctly paying social security of their employees

Fine.. But that was not the agreement drivers had when they signed up. They signed up for cash on the job, gig economy. I'm not saying its good, I do think it should be unionized, but you guys are defending the same companies that are going to give the costs onto the riders.

The author never implied that this was their own original discovery. Unless they ripped the entire article off, this is just a tutorial on how to work with Eigenfaces on your own, and an explanation of how they work.
What is immediately intuitive about anything a programmer does on their machine? I assume you have used a Unix shell, right? Was there anything immediately intuitive about that? You've probably done some programming, so was there anything immediately intuitive about your programming language?
> it gets harder to convince management of future issues

that's a tough one, maybe the tough one.

It's hard to prioritize "trivialities" over features, especially when you haven't even given thought to defending the obvious.

Thankfully some of these things are being codified somewhere externally, say:

What? The BSD license is 30 years old, it has never required the release of source code of derived works.

Fair question, I appreciate it. Ultimately, our portfolio speaks for itself, but here's some history, I've been developing rails apps for several years as a sole full-stack developer. I founded the Agency in 2011 and built out a fantastic team, perhaps world-class, and have been taking on projects through referrals I've gained as a sole-developer. I've decided to open this up to the public in 2015, and work with outsiders. A web presence is in order, however, for the time being I'd be happy to chat via Skype or phone-call and provide more details including our portfolio, and learn more about your project!!
If anything it's probably easier. There are a glut of payment processors willing to help you out that would take a fraction of your profits compared to a curated download-only marketplace like Steam. There are, admittedly immature, marketplaces for web-based games such as itch.io

However it's still possible to deliver a platform-specific download with the many web-wrapping runtimes out there (cordova, apollo, etc).

It's not perfect right now but it's where the action will be in the next few years.
The technique is basically an after action debriefing. In settings where people die from mistakes such as military operations and space flight, a political process which seeks to assign blame to individuals is often of little utility.

The actions of the deceased often contribute to their death. The only lesson from assigning blame to the pilot for pilot-error is "Try not to make mistakes". Placing the system at the center of the investigation makes for better checklists that reduce the probability of pilot error for many pilots.

"Don't wear red and march in a straight line" is a better tactic than "Don't get shot."
The new offices my company is moving to will have an open floor plan and a foosball table.

I switched to Pixelmator for the same reasons. The only thing I really wish it had was dockable palettes.
The key is that this is lawyer-driven not employee driven. Lawyers drive class actions and they typically get a (large) percentage of the settlement. Those 64000 employees won't have much of a say in this.
Privileged? Maybe not. But in general, Docker is not a security boundary, but people treat it like one.
I don't get why supporters of GoF experiments with CoV in Wuhan aren't shouting from the rooftops that (1) They were right to predict the danger of a CoV originating from that area of the world and that (2) their research, years in the making, is thankfully (despite opposition's cries of danger) here to protect us. Instead, I can't find anything about the latest years of their research.
There is certainly quite some room for improvement.
This is an important point. We could use 'less force' and 'arrest less' by literally not policing at all.

It's good to have more data but like always it's just one more piece of the puzzle.

FYI One area that seems to have objective credibility apparently are 'victimization reports' i.e. when people are asked the amount of crime they face as opposed to relying on policing measures.

The code as data as code as data ... idea is a feature of core Lisp. Not everybody 'gets' this feature and not everybody 'needs' this feature.

Other than that there have been many conventional syntaxes derived from Lisp: Logo, ML, Dylan, ...

What most of these don't have is the code as data as code as data ... support or at least it gets more difficult.

If the representation via s-expressions is not needed, other syntaxes are not that difficult to implement...

For an article waxing on about the mislabeling of tuna, it should do a better job not generalizing facts about different species of tuna with all tuna.

> given the dire state of the world's tuna supply

Only some species are overfished. Albacore tuna, for example, are not threatened at all. In fact there's no limit in the US on how many you can catch (non-commercially).
Your comment sounds overly sympathetic. I'm not sure if blaming US actions for China's social loss is fair. Bills to pay, kids to feed -- is that the responsibility of the US government? Without a doubt China is not the most innocent country. They push their weight around with other countries and significantly impact their economy. Did you forget how unethical and dangerous their government is? Tiananmen square, Uighur Muslims, Hong Kong, Taiwan .. my heart does not bleed for them, not for a second.
I've been doing exactly this for a while now using Emacs built-in python mode and I think it's its quite nice.
With just a few keystrokes I can send any part of the code I'm working on into a running python process and see the results in a separate repl buffer. The built-in python-mode already has a good selection of possible selections to send and I've written two extra ones working with indent levels dependent on where the cursor currently is. [1]
It's nice to be able to, for example, run the if statement you're currently writing without running the while loop that if statement is in.

One important thing to keep in mind though is that it is not as dynamic as Lisp, so things like re-evaluating a class definition does not update existing objects. I end up restarting the python process and evaluating the buffers I'm working on often enough that I've bound it to its own key.

I was thinking power consumption. Probably a mis-correction anyway.
You disagree with globalization? Me too.
Agree. It is unlikely that google adheres to their ToS, it is more profitable to violate them and if you get caught do the usual "oops, our bad" like Facebook does regularly.
I came into Clojure with exactly the same mindset. I've never worked with the JVM outside of Clojure, and I'm not going to, but it is a nice runtime for processes that needs performance, but not quick startup time. On the other hand, we now have Babashka, that solves the issue of startup time. So now we have two tools both using the same (ish) language, but for different use cases.

And I think that's where one of the most powerful strengths of Clojure comes from. It's a hosted language, so it runs on many platforms. Today we have JVM, JavaScript, C#, Babashka and more smaller experiments, who knows where the language will pop up in the future? I'm excited!
Jesus, this reads like GPT-2 output. In a light skim it looks fine, but then you start actually looking at the structure or the writing and it falls apart.

Your comment is full of (and I mean FULL, nearly every sentence) anti-Chinese assertions with zero factual evidence involved:

> The world needs to stop China.

> China is stealing Western tech to gain an economic and strategic advantage.

> Our opponent has concentration camps...

> And this is a regime that wants world domination.

> Our media is already censored and caters to Chinese tastes.

This is not an argument, it's bullshit. Oh don't get me wrong, some of it is probably true at some level, and Chinese foreign policy is just as acerbic as in the US, but without any evidence given, it's not worth reading.

Which makes it funny that there are a bunch of comments just below where people chime in "spot on!", as if the parent commenter made some EXCELLENT points with his jumbled and disjointed word-vomit.

What's going on here? Did I have a stroke or something? The words are just no longer making sense.
> AirDroid

What? Thanks for mentioning that. I've been using it for years (albeit in LAN-only mode, I don't like clouds). Need to re-evaluate it now (not that I trust China's gov particularly less than US gov at this point, but I prefer apps that don't give any governments obvious remote access capability). Do you know of any good alternatives for hassle-free WiFi file transfer?

I worked on a gambling webapp a long time ago. Gambling is heavily regulated here (.au) and all financial calculations are required to be done with 1/10,000th of a cent resolution, and rounding is only allowed to be applied once at the final display step.

(I used the regulations as a way to ensure _all_ calculations happened on the (Java) backend that other people were responsible for, given Javascript's documented mathematical insanity meant any client side calculations couldn't possibly pass compliance...)
> Google [ ...] could spend about a year and build a vastly superior product to both Oracle and SAP that everybody would want. So why don't they?

This is laughable to anyone who has ever worked on development of an ERP product.

Here's a thought experiment. Let's take one part - one part only - of the whole ERP / enterprise software spectrum.

Let's pick HR for an example.

Now let's pick one part - only one part - of the whole HR product spectrum.

Let's pick recruitment. How about of Google did what you say, but just in this tiny space? How much overkill would that be?

It turns out, Google did launch a product in this space. It was called Google Hire.

By your measure, Google should have smashed the life out of this little part of the bigger enterprise software space.

Instead, they shut down within 2 years in a burst of failure.
I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing, but I'm amused regardless.
