I just can`t understand why do you need to switch to the SAME technology? asp.net mvc is ok. all you will get, while switching to python or ruby, is lack of type system, generics, linq, f# power etc. it is big price, comparable to the development speed gain (???), cheap hosting (???), powerfull orm (???).
If you want something really fresh, i think its better to take some no sql approach. or compose entire app on client with javascript. You can take all this modern things while using asp.net mvc.
sory for my english.
At one stop in my career I was at a waterfall enterprise company in production deployment support.

We literally took hand written change requests, manually deployed them step by step after taking careful backups and ensuring that at any point we could revert...and that was pretty much it.

We had to check the paperwork to make sure there was a rollback plan. We had to investigate if there were weird server issues happening. We did the deployments in the middle of the night, 2-3am and were required to be on call.

Because of the after hours and on call schedule, we were really just twiddling our thumbs when we weren’t hunting down an actual issue.

I used the spare time to keep learning new stuff, automating monitoring that I used personally, etc. You needed enough experience to know how to put out fires in a lot of legacy environments but other than that it was probably the easiest job I’ve ever had.
If culture fit is just code-speak for 'gets along with people and isn't a jerk' (aka agreeableness) then it's fine.

But things like sports, music, food--these are all highly culture associated. Even if you aren't mentioning race and even if you are not trying to discriminate--you probably are.

If it's the latter, then it's wrong (and probably illegal too). If it's the former, why call it culture fit?
You know you can also do -C 40 for 40 lines of context instead of -A 20 -B 20
Sure it's cheaper, but if you wait another month it will be even more cheap. The longer you can hold of spending, the more you get for your money. Contrast that to a sale. During the sale, things are cheap now with the expectation they'll be more expensive later. Holding on to your money is now costing you buying power.
I've been using cyphertite after giving up on SpiderOak. It's been nice so far.
Eventually these buttons may be on the boxes themselves somehow if there was a way for a new box to read from a master device in the house and know which account it was tied to?
Welcome to the new IE era, Chrome only websites..
Also interesting and worthy of note is that this project transitioned to BSD recently, and they are doing it as part of a donation drive.

http://www.shenlanguage.org/shenbsd.htm

I am an amateur Lisper, and like others I whined (perhaps irrationally) that their custom non-OSI only one implementation of the language or else license was scaring people off. Not that the BSD license assuages my concerns about community weirdness (hard to describe, but this ia a very personal opinion and you can dismiss it), but I would like to see if the demand will drive open sourcing the code.

Also very cool is that you can find Shen implementations in more than one flavor: Common Lisp, Clojure, Ruby, and more. Definitely check out the site if you have not yet.
Security through obscurity doesn't always work. You could do the same by calling a list of numbers and playing the odds by using like AT&T or Verizon randomly and get a lot of people that way too.
The best way is to ask them - my experience has been that people tend to be fairly comfortable discussing per share prices.

I used to work at Palantir. If I want to know what my shares are worth, GSV (which is publicly traded) owns Palantir common and preferred shares (as well as shares in several other private companies) and reports a fair market value in their public 10-Q and 10-K filings. This is useful as a baseline sanity check. There are also enough interested buyers that it's feasible to get multiple price quotes.
You mean Google does not know exactly how many Chromebooks are being sold by Asus, Lenovo, HP, etc?
On the good side of things, their business must be doing really great because they have money to support that monstrosity, and have motivation to, meaning: it gives them a lot of cash.
That doesn’t sound right

Amazon WorkMail is a managed email solution (like the ones included in G Suite, Office 365, and Zoho), not a generic server host or a self-hosted email solution. It's also closed source, unlike the open source Mail-in-a-Box.
> The bigger criticism I heard about the TPP was extending America's Intellectual Property laws even further across the globe.

The IP issues were the big criticism within the tech community, because we care a lot about IP laws, but AFAICT not the big issue for unions, left-wing orgs, right-wing populists, etc who were much, much more concerned about tariffs, workers rights, etc and had barely anything to say about IP.
I think he's referring to UBI.
This is not an info that you can hide from users for very long.

You will have people who start with a profile in both sides to see how it works. It’s done for fun on free platforms, it will done for research on any paying platform.

If they don’t do it personally they’ll ask friends that will spill the beans.

People will rant online on how much they paid for a single text sent.

It’s just endless, the service will need to be transparent and forthcoming about the system or it becomes a PR nightmare.
Yes. And comes with a neat status page to warn you of any issues in case things change (but they shouldn't if you use a dedicated box).
Are we going to offer a "bonus" to drivers that offer to drive old people, because they may take a little longer to get in the car?

If the difference between profit and ruin is an extra 60 seconds for someone to sit down, then maybe the real solution is to pay the drivers a living wage.
There are passive and active dongles. With a passive dongle, the DAC is built into the phone and the analog signal is simply passed through the connector. Active dongles are essentialy tiny USB DACs, they communicate with the phone digitally via USB.
One might say, rather, that government is the apotheosis of politics. Much politics goes on without touching government, but a well-functioning government is the ultimate arbiter of disputes within a region, and is therefore the obvious final testbed (and most dramatic battleground) of political action.
The dissenting opinion is important here and Congress does still need to chime in

Its good what the Supreme Court decided

We still need a distinction. I think the dissent was a planned instruction by the court, instead of that one judge’s actual sole feelings
I just went back and watched the BBC adaptation of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
It could, but it couldn't (and can't) regulate what you are allowed to talk about on the phone.
There is also the basic fact that many routes are mutually exclusive.

Denver to LA will never be viable by ship. Shenzhen to LA will never be viable by train.

Can u give an example for this? Especially in the context on a large, growing tech firm.

The piece table/chain description makes me think to an interactive xdelta (which is for instance used in Git).
I don't understand what that has to do with my comment.
The logic is simple, post WW2, the US was the only one with the bomb and could have secured a monopoly on power, but it didn't and here we are. In Einstein's biography, I found out he was a proponent of all nations ceding their military power to a single entity like the UN, but obviously this didn't and wouldn't happen since it would end the idea of sovereignty. Clearly though we will never have world security unless something like this happens. Even if we get through this crisis, it will only be a matter of time before another arises (maybe China, India, Pakistan etc.).

As recently as last year I have read people proclaiming that war was "obsolete" because it was too expensive because we are too economically intertwined, but apparently this is not a big enough of a deterrent for some leaders, so again we can never count on this idea again, it was naive.
I still see it as a passive aggressive move for Google to get back at Oracle. They can't back away from Java API completely but they can hurt Oracle by discrediting Java language.
It could be that it is genuinely not working, but it could also be that it takes a while to start loading. The server can only serve 8 clients at once, over a bandwidth of about 4 KiB/s. So maybe try again and give it some time to load in another tab.
Agreed. Posting something here will almost always force you to up your game, but there is an incredible amount of callousness in the commentariat on HN.
Are there languages that "solve" SIMD?
Yup, It's one simple lambda function that reads the JSON file from S3, searches twitter for new tweets since the latest, appends new ones and writes back to S3. Cron'd every minute.
I just don't get this attitude. It's such a sour grapes type of attitude. Either help out, or get out.

It’s called “skepticism”. You read enough history, you realize the charlatans greatly outnumber the geniuses, and you do your due-diligence before you invest, or form some weird cult.
Why Apple doesn't require source code to publish the apps? Seems obviously better way to ensure compliance - not fool proof, but way better than random binaries?

In Salesforce land not only your source gets scrutinised but also your back-end (initial release only tho).
It would be amusing if this was the case, but would he have been familiar with ASCII and wildcards when he wrote it?

It is rather easy to assume that ASCII and wildcards would be common knowledge since they predate the series while being common knowledge today (at least among those who use computers), but was this true when the series was written? ASCII is by no means the only character encoding scheme and asterisks are by no means the only wildcard character.
The "Authority" section is a sentence and the order doesn't use the word "constitution" even once.
Yeah have the same issues with modern MBPs, it feels like Macs used to handle closing the lid perfectly then at some point in history is broke and they're not fussed enough fix it. So many times all my MBPs awaken to either a KP screen or a "Your machine restarted because of a problem" message.

Also the charger that ships with the USB-C macs doesn't feel like it puts out enough energy to jump start them, feels like it has to build a little battery charge just to get over that initial hump. Older models used to be even from cold dead battery it would start instantly once the power cord was in.
> If a commit has multiple parents, … git rebase, I think implicitly assumes the first parent.

`git rebase`'s behavior regarding merge commits is shockingly complicated, but much of the time: Because by default it linearizes the history, it actually just skips merge commits because it assumes that the merge has already happened implicitly by applying one of the merge's parents on top of the other parent.
So it is ok for bloggers, journalists, fan sites, meme sites, meme factories etc. To take someone's publicly posted pic and use it for amusement or personal gain?

But it is not ok for a group of collectors to organize collections on internet out of crops of publicy posted photos, for something completely legal?
> The pre-covid world is kinda over

I really doubt this is the case. In fact people are placing large bets of the opposite. Just saw in the news that some texas developer is planning a new 23 story commercial building in Vancouver's downtown.

Cities have been the norm since humans started living together. They been been a success despite many, many pandemics. They are not going away.
> That's because I'd rather people have the freedom to be mathematicians, nurses, lawyers, physicists, writers, and accountants while still being able to leverage computers

All of the mentioned professions make heavy use of computers. I do agree teaching basic skills with tools like spreadsheet programs, etc, are fantastic. But at some point in time, it will become a roadblock to not know how to write a basic script to automate some repetitive/remedial task.

That's not to say everyone should learn how to write massive enterprise software, or have deep understanding of how a kernel works. Rather, it's to say people need to learn how to make the computer work for them in the way that suits them best, not just how some Vendor thinks they should work. Being able to write some quick script simply requires problem solving skills.

There is a significant advantage to the journalist who can write their own SQL and query data out of a massive database by themselves without having to depend on someone else. There's a massive advantage to the lobbyist who can better understand statistical trends visually because they learned how to represent, consume and model the data with R.

There are fields where non-programmers are the only ones who fundamentally understand their domain well enough to write software for it. Take the various sciences. How can a non-chemist accurately write a chemical modelling and simulation software without first having to learn how things work? Not very well... even if they designed the software based on some spec, it's unlikely all of the professional chemists domain knowledge from 30+ years of in-field research will accurately translate into a hired-gun's handy-work.

The main issue I see in practice is people are either afraid to begin, or get some glossy-eyed look when the word "programming" is brought up. To me, that is incredibly frustrating, since programming is nothing more than writing down some words in a grammatically correct structure... "you can form complete sentences, right? Good, so you can now write a complete sentence but follow a slightly different rule."
Pretty sure errcheck will catch that too. The thing that bugs me is the people that make up problems that are not at all problems in real day to day coding.
And we all know what a success MULTICS was ;)
It would be great to see:

- A test IP (to check ping times)

- A test URL with a 100MB file (to test throughput from a specific location)

Also, if you use KVM (as you indicate here in the comments) it may be worth mentioning that somewhere on the site (I didn't see it), as otherwise many will assume you use OpenVZ, for which providers usually charge less than you are charging.

Sorry for the second reply, but I have written a blog entry on my book writing experience. It ended up larger than I expected, yet still doesn't exhaust all that I would want to say, so more may follow.

> I am looking for a replacement programming language to solve small problems for which Python/Ruby would have traditionally been used, good file system, stream and networking APIs, but concurrency as a first class citizen, garbage collected, fast startup time.

You just described Go, mostly. I can't think of a more fitting language given your stated requirements.

To your first point: I don't know what Go has to do with your preference of functional programming to imperative. Go doesn't claim to be a functional language so I just am not seeing the connection.
Here is a great overview of things to consider:
http://searchquant.blogspot.com/2011/11/startup-equity-surve...
It's not really a different approach. You had to write a lot of vanilla loops in C, too.
I'm with you. HN hivemind is getting as bad as Reddit's.
Wondering why you think 800k Israelis live on Palestinian land and not 5-6 million?
Indeed. And another thing to consider is that some modern 4th gen performance aircraft require that fly-by-wire by design, as they're designed with inherent aerodynamic instability. You'd rapidly lose control of the plane if there was a FLCS (FLight Control System) failure. Checking status of these is part of the startup sequence.

These systems are often triple or quadruple redundant, and will prevent the pilot from executing some maneuvers if it would put too much load on the aircraft. This can be relaxed for say, wartime situations, as placing high-Gs on the air frame reduces it's lifespan.
The truly sad part is it leads to broad financialization of Science. People up here making education into a personal problem (haves/havenots) are apparently "too smart" to see the social costs of heavy public investment in STEM education
Hit me, more than happy to make fun of the salient GCP rep for you in a way they really won't like :)
I live in full-time in a small community dedicated to this kind of thing although many would argue we're not doing much at all.
It's probably a mistake to read much into these things when it comes to Gamestop. It's not about the fundamentals, it's about when /r/wallstreetbets notices and is collectively feeling up for it.
How do we know that there are shorts and the amount of them?
How do you expect these projects to afford its development? Free software does not come for free.
Preferring a fighter that doesn't rely on electronics isn't the same as being a luddite. Also, the state of electronics since the early/mid 70s has changed significantly: specifically they have become much lighter, compact, and reliable (none of the three were true when 45 years ago).

The main design driver shaping the F-16 was Boyd's energy–maneuverability theory. A major criticism of Sprey is that the F-15, which was crap according to Boyd's math is undefeated in combat. This is true but it also hasn't gone up against the best opposition in the world either. Boyd, Sprey, and the rest of the Fighter Mafia have been hated for decades in the Pentagon but history is showing that their predictions are accurate. One thing which is too classified to know at the moment is whether advances in missile technology have finally gotten to the point where electronics and firing first matter more than the ACM abilities of the pilot and the airframe to which they are strapped.

Either way, dismissing Spray as a luddite is an incorrect statement.
None actually, inflation is felt immediately on Bitcoin. The government would have to keep their books in order, which thankfully crypto also helps.

Market making in crypto is usually done by overcollateralized liquidity pools, farming and staking.

> credit backed by "the Full Faith and Credit" clause of the Constitution

Can you or someone explain why “the full faith and credit clause” of the Constitution is commonly associated with “financial credit”?

The full faith and credit clause has to do with the states generally honoring court judgements, public licenses, etc... from the other States.

What does that have to do with a default by an issuer of credit?
I think you know what you gain from having high karma. If you didn't, I doubt you would have felt compelled to earn your ~18,000 karma over the past 3 years.
Both partnering with an experienced developer , and outsourcing to a low cost country can offer a better route for development (if done well), and could really help your ideas to succeed.

If you want to build businesses out of your ideas , you'll have enough to do and learn.
Yeah I assumed that the limit was -5 without thinking about it to much. Some people have put something stupid in really popular threads and lost a stack.
I see no schadenfreude in this article. On the contrary, I see this:

"For me, this was not sweet revenge but just the toughest decision (to sell or fight) that had turned out so positively!!"

I'm not sure why you ask the general question about winning. This is a story of a man making a choice that he thought would better his condition. He had no reason to do otherwise.
I didn't check every county but is also looks like very few are moving out. A stable population in a state like it is not all that bad a thing.

For the saddest example, look at Wayne County, Michigan, which includes Detroit (SE corner, one up from the southern border).
The largest breakthrough by spaceX is the realization that fuel not the largest cost of getting to space. They do several things which dramatically reduce cost at the cost of using more fuel but it's a net win.
It's never too late.
Since you have interest in implementing ideas on the web, you are already on to an easier path with the many frameworks available.

Get started with building your mockups and slowly get the functionalities in when you are finding your way with the programming framework.
Commercial pluggery is not usually one of my hobbies, but you might want to take a look at what the good people at HeadRoom offer: http://headphone.com/

I like Grados myself, but anything beyond the '60s needs more amp than the players have built in (and the crossfeed makes a huge difference if the recording wasn't originally binaural). No need to go overboard unless you are a can fanatic and have a better source than an iPod (or other portable); the AirHead/BitHead is better than you can imagine. Bonus: the BitHead is an excellent USB "sound card" as well.
That's exactly the one thing i remember about them. I saw the video about their testing method and knew they had to go somewhere eventually.
Yup, ran into this in production. Great way to bring down a database server.
I understood atheism as those who do not ski, and insist that there is no such thing as skiing.

Looks like my understanding was of "Strong Atheism", while the one Gervais describes would be "Weak Atheism".
That only holds up in so far as perception is out of whack with reality, and on the long term too.

If store A uses a multi-headed single queue and store B uses multiple queues, eventually it's going to dawn on you that some days in store B you get in and out very quickly, but on other days you get caught up behind a bunch of slowpokes. Meanwhile, in store A, you never get those bad days, because the parallelism of the front of the queue ensures there's always some progress.

Most of the grocery shops I go to either have a single teller (so it doesn't make a difference), a single queue with multiple tellers at the head (most Tesco Express etc.), or a choice of multiple queues or single queue with multiple heads (pretty much all large supermarkets have multi-headed queues for the automated tellers, though it's usually too awkward to buy more than a basket's worth of groceries there). When there's a choice of queue, the multi-headed queue is usually longer than the single-headed queue, though not quite in proportion to its extra expected speed (it's perhaps 75% of what you'd expect), but on the other hand, these queues are sometimes slower because of the inexperience of the people using the automated systems.

i used to have to send emails on behalf of my boss because he couldn't figure out how to do it. he was that bad.

convinced him to buy an ipad on launch day. he's now super Internet savvy, and I've never had to show him how to do anything.

the power of the device is that it is so natural, and it brings the benefits of the Internet without any background knowledge required.

I have the Bluetooth keyboard, but it (sadly) doesn't solve that: the apps are just not mature enough for serious typing in many situations (especially if that "typing" includes "coding").
