Ability to step back and look at features, constraints, and have strong opinions on:

“Are we working on the right thing?”

“Is this valuable to work on, right now?”

“Is doing what I am doing the most effective use of my time?”

“How cheap or expensive is it to support what we’re doing? Is feature X worth its cost?”

“Is there opportunity to simplify the solution? Should we reduce scope? How?”

I think in my mind, it’s not always about the tech stack or a specific technical optimization so much as thinking in terms of costs, trade offs, and most importantly, why do something.

On other thing is being able to work with legacy code or code written by others. If your immediate solution is to rewrite something, you lose some points with me.
If you're using a VPN, I've noticed that behavior when the VPN was compressing data in the background, since Speedtest data compressed well.
Wanting more information about nutrition is not comparable to being opposed to vaccines.

Nutrition is an area of study which lacks a lot of information. Even as time goes on and agriculture changes, the data we have about the food we consume appears to be out of date. There are many other factors we’re just beginning to become aware of with implications we haven’t begun to unravel.

Nutritional science and the data we have today is completely acceptable to question. Just about everything is, but nutrition seems especially open.
The result of musl's attitude is build systems assuming "__linux__ && !__glibc__ means musl".

I pity the compatibility nightmares any new libc pushing for mass adoption will have to deal with. Musl's approach adds cost to everybody but themselves.

Wouldn’t you have to go back to Mesopotamia to get 5000 years? And I’m not sure if that is really considered western.
It has Books by Springer (an academic publisher) is are printed on demand by Amazon, I'm sure there are others.
Ada does this well with its concept of subtypes; so you could subtype Int to your unit, and even give it valid ranges. It's then typechecked by the compiler.
What? I see both the client and server repositories have activity in the last month
I tried PeerJS in a pet project a few months ago. The one thing that became immediate is peer to peer over browsers isn't great. You can basically throw testing out the window, there is no good way to emulate p2p locally. Trying to test my PeerJS project involved having two computers, and occasionally required one to be connected through a VPN. Problems I found was connecting over LAN was really flaky. Most times, Chrome to Chrome was fine. Chrome to firefox was also mostly fine. Firefox to Firefox had a pile of quirks - connections only worked if I completely quit firefox, and started it again with just my two windows, and even then, sometimes that connection failed.

The ICE/Turn server stuff is also a mess. I ended up installing and hosting a coturn server on digital ocean, and it was a pain. Documentation wasn't great, stackoverflow/forum questions were typically old, and there didn't appear to be any obvious alternatives.

I also tried simple-peer by feross, which seemed to be fine, and most quirks remained as browser issues.

I ended up ditching webrtc and went with a server with websockets. With peer to peer, I'm stuck using a server somewhere, so I'd rather use a websocket server. Webrtc just introduced too many unknown variables. Is there a problem with an ICE/Turn server? Is there a LAN issue? Can browsers vendors properly do p2p to each other without a bunch of "if firefox, do this, if chrome, do this, if something else, panic"? The websocket server took 100% of these concerns out of the equation.

I'd love to be able to use webrtc confidently, but with the current tools for implementing and testing, I don't think I can say it is for myself.

So I think the TLDR is that webrtc peer to peer isn't really consumer-ready. The browser support seems a little hit and miss, testing through a LAN appears to be very flaky, and testing via node/some other framework is spotty at best.
I looked through the product listings a bit (I mentioned it elsewhere) and they look reasonable for things I've researched lately. I hope it works out for you because there's a huge lack of trustworthy product data and massive amounts of trash to sort through these days.

I'd probably be your target market. I'm usually looking for products that are good value. Ignoring the fact that I'm from Canada and all your links are US, I'm also the kind of person that would make an effort to buy via one of your affiliate links if I used your site as a source for products I want to research more in depth. However, I don't think most people would make that effort and maybe that'll be a problem.

Put another way, it looks like a great site to use as a starting point for products I don't know much about, but I'm going to jump to other in-depth review sites before buying anything and might convert through their affiliate links instead. Add in sweet (get it?) industrial scale affiliate link hijackers plus price watching services like CamelCamelCamel and all of a sudden there are a lot of ways I can use your site and never give anything back (unintentionally).

I'm also not sure I'll remember your site to go back to it (sorry). I wonder how a browser addon would work out. The no ad, no tracking design of the site lends a lot of credibility in terms of being trustworthy, so I'd consider installing an addon for the type of data you have. If you can build a reputation as the brand that filters Amazon down to the X% of products that aren't garbage, that might get some traction.

For example, if I'm browsing Amazon and could click on a GCAF addon that showed me a curated list of similar products that aren't complete trash, that would be helpful to me because there's too much garbage to sort through manually on Amazon. Once I'm on the product page (via your affiliate link in the addon), I might open a new tab to read other reviews, but I'm not going to click back through to the product page when I already have it open in another tab. Or if you sort by products that are currently on sale I might just open tabs for the ones on sale and just buy something right there.

I also manually jump from Amazon to BestBuy before buying stuff. If the pricing is close enough I buy it at BestBuy instead. If I could click an addon that linked me directly to the same product page at other stores I think you could capture that too, at least from me.

Anyway, good luck! I hope it works out for you.
Is it that they need to create some objective barrier to entry?

More Reich Rubbish. He takes it as a matter of faith that "tax cuts don't trickle down". He conveniently ignores how the tax cuts defined "the rich" in such a way that almost every business owner in the United States is "the rich".

I don't care what side of the political spectrum you are on: when employers face higher overhead, they are required to cut back or go out of business. This is not politics. It is simple economics whether you are a keynsian, friedian, or austrian.

I do not hear Reich complaining about the massive bail-outs for the truly rich which both the Bush and Obama administrations handed out like free candy. Now there are some billions that have truly failed to "trickle down".
You don't need the nodes to agree on anything. If they don't agree, they drop off the network, and form their own chain with little to no hashing power, that will stagnate and die in short order.

being an accredited investor doesn’t magically get you IPO shares. they are very scarce and almost completely allocated to high volume institutions (you might get lucky if you have a very large relationship with one such institution but that’s harder and harder these days)
There are more people out there talking about how, where and why we should be looking for aliens than there are people actually looking for them. All the energy and money of such could be better spent on acquiring telescope time to do real looking. The BLC-1 signal was found not by a telescope looking for ET but through processing of data from a non-seti study. If we are serious about looking we should make looking a priority rather than an afterthought. When a possible signal is found we shouldn't be scrambling for a few minutes on some other telescope to maybe perhaps check in hope that it magically repeats at some random time years afterwards. We should have dedicated facilities ready and able to stare solidly for days/weeks/months. If we are ever going to find anything it will only come through persistence.

I'm _really_ disappointed with the managed DB service. The "75 simultaneous connections per gigabyte of usable memory" limitation means cost wise it's cheaper just to spin up a 'real' database droplet.
The commercial virtualisation tools from Parallels and VMware support creating macOS guests on a macOS host by making a clean install, i guess from the macos recovery system/service?

Are you planning on macOS guests too? It's sometimes really nice to test a macOS application on an absolutely clean macOS install to ensure it's not dependent on any library on your macOS development machine.
I was a fan of daemontools 20 years ago:

http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html

If Bell Labs isn't Unix enough for you, you have to try Dan Bernstein -- daemontools agrees with systemd about what most of the problem is, but it stops at the minimum viable product.

Note that many web servers, database servers, and similar products have a root process which is basically a process supervisor -- it is a general resilience mechanism.
I've flagged more articles on HN about the NSA.
Your reply seems like the best, but it makes me angrier than the rest. You're lucky I only have one button! (upvote)
My take away isn't 'don't fly during x' but 'don't fly at all'.
Embark and HopStop are both Parse-powered apps, which allows them to focus on providing a great UX and not have to worry about servers.

Gen. Alexander, Obama, Bush, Feinstein, all these people's arguments basically boil down to "trust us." I always want to ask those people this question: Sure, maybe you're a trustworthy, good man. What mechanism is in place to guarantee that the next person is? And the next one? And the person after that?

Without an external mechanism -- as external as the courts are to the Justice Department -- we're putting our trust in men and not in laws. This nation's foundation is the rule of law, not the rule of men. "Trust us" only works when there's another trusted adversary overseeing the trusted, who are themselves subject to scrutiny.

Ok, but the question was how to change things, not how to minimize risk.
Google Play Store hasn't updated the install count since last 48 hours or so. Flurry data is showing about 50 users for paid and about 200 users for lite version (These numbers contain both iOS and Android installs but we are sure that Android downloads are more than 5.
So baking in Xamarin as a compile target in Visual Studio. Conciously changing their licensing terms of various BCL NuGet packages to allow their unrestricted use on Xamarin/Mono platforms... yeah, there's clearly no hints at all as to what they're up to.

Read between the lines man.
Github has iPad-based robots that allow remote workers to wonder about their SF office. Obviously, that $100m VC money has to be spent on ~something~.

Compared to that, a text editor is a mere bagatelle.
Thanks for that pointer, didn't know of this.

Also for anyone interested in an easy way to use the JVM for other languages, check out crudzilla.com . It is primarily for web development but has basic editor for other development work.
The app can run in offline mode. No internet connection is required.

The only time Internet is required is when you buy it from Google Play and run the application for the first time. Connection is required to validate the purchase with Google servers.

Internet is never required for iOS.

A great designer will always have a portfolio...its essentially their CV. Asking to see real work is quite difficult if that work is proprietary.

That's not cheating.

There are two problems here.

The first problem is that AMD does not provide versions of those libraries tuned for AMD hardware. The investment of AMD into software for their hardware is close to zero, and without software, hardware is irrelevant. AMD has this problem when competing against nvidia in the GPU space, and against intel in the CPU space.

The second problem is that buyers of AMD products demand that Intel would release their software optimized for AMD products as well, which is just nonsensical. First, Intel is not required to do this and have no reason to do so - if this software doesn't work for your hardware, either buy Intel, or use something else. Second, these people don't expect AMD to provide these libraries, and aren't willing to provide them themselves, so... combined with AMD culture of not investing in software, nothing will happen.

That link is 10 years old, but these issues are at least 10 years older. That is, AMD has had 20 years to fix this, and nothing has happened.

I mean, this might sound like captain obvious, but Intel and Nvidia have super good profilers for their hardware (VTune and Nsight). AMD provides uProf, which sucks, so if that is what their engineers are using for their libraries, it isn't a surprise that they don't perform good.

Should we regulate research into the technology? No, I don't think so. Should we regulate deployment of the technology? Definitely in schools, yes. As far as workplaces go, at least you could argue that employees could find different jobs. But when it comes to schools where people are forced to be? Use of such technology is atrocious. Use of such technology in a school or workplace is a test of submissiveness and of willingness to withstand humiliation. The sane response of a child or employee to such technology would be to beat the camera into small pieces with a baseball bat.
Do you mean forking the codebase or layering something like N3 over it? (btw, last I checked the Neo4j community version could only scale up and the distributed version was commercial.)
I hear this refrain a lot but I never really understood it. Could you explain? I would personally feel much more comfortable running a process as a unique user in an fresh Ubuntu container than running it in a chroot. One needn't go far to find a huge number of chroot escape methods.
You mean AP, not CA.

CA doesn't exist.

>Even the term "Big Brother". It's from George Orwell's book "1984". I wonder how many younger programmers would know that.

Probably most of them. 1984 is required reading in many highschools in america.
It's funny that you bring up licensing being hard to get; sometimes I wonder if we're not actually (still) too lenient in who we give drivers licenses to. Maybe it's just that I'm past the point where my pre-frontal cortex is fully developed, but I can't imagine that continuing to tighten the training and requirements needed to get a license is a bad thing (and this is coming from someone who really enjoys his cars).
Take a look at the page with an ipad.
Assange serves both as the founder and as lightning rod. If he were to be assassinated, the organization would continue on with no interruption.

Of course Wikileaks is vulnerable to a variety of attacks, but killing Assange is not one of them.
I kill Opera.exe more often than not. It takes only a few hours for it to reach 600 or 700 meg of ram and get stroppy, then it wants a fricking minute plus to actually close.

It's quite annoying.
I think that would be the point of the "moved away from journalistic interpretation" part of the parent's comment.
Ah, thanks for clarifying. What I should have said, and what I was thinking, was that there are non-combat options for women. I don't know if women are allowed to be lochemim but I am pretty sure they aren't forced to - right?
"Notably, it has moved away from journalistic interpretation of the leaked info and has left that to established papers. Instead, it has focused on its role as conduit and trusted intermediary."

Wikileaks certainly has an agenda. There's a good New Yorker piece [1] from back before a lot of this stuff broke about how Assange edited the 'Collateral Murder' video to maximize emotional impact. I personally do not view Wikileaks as a trusted intermediary.

That's not true. We can hold prisoners of war without trial in the US. It's just hard to find a state that wants them. It's a "not in my backyard" problem.
Chrome? I can't recall it crashing recently. Maybe it sucks on Mac?
This is the equivalent of seeing the US government sent through a full-body scanner. I, for one, think it is great. If they have nothing to hide, why are they worried? Isn't that what governments tell the rest of us, when they wish to intrude upon our privacy?
Please, lets not enter an age of programmers that act like kanye west. I really hope programmers don't adopt this point of view, I go to an "ivy league" cs uni, and I'm seeing my peers adopt this douchie ego - were they think they control the world. I don't completely agree with this article its taking a very startup / silicon valley approach to the whole argument, the bigger the company gets the easier it becomes to afford more programmers, I know it may be hard to believe but there are programmers outside silicon valley, and most third world countries, india, china, Indonesia , Dubai have ramped up their post secondary programs, every industry has its bubbles, cs is now, a year ago it was accountants, its completly normal, doesn't mean we're gonna rule the world.
You don't need reinforced shelters against fallout; above-ground buildings will do fine, as long as they can be made reasonably airtight (as additional protection, one could provide for material to replace broken windows)

Also, I think most shelters would be far enough from blast areas to provide some protection.

Eizo Nomura (who, amazingly, doesn't have a Wikipedia page) was 170 meter from ground zero in Hiroshima, and survived (http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_bombings_of_Hiroshima_...)

Akiko Takakura was above ground at less than 300m and lived for 60 years.

Even though later bombs were much more powerful that makes it likely that shelters at the edge of the blast radius can save lives.

Not all of them, but any program to protect civilians is a statistics game.

All the construction in SF isn't 100% effective against earthquakes, either.
No for profit company is your friend.
Usually if you don't see "free" or "open source" mentioned on the main page it means it's not going to be either of these two (or at least that it hasn't been decided yet).
There is no online component. So yes, you can edit offline.
It depends on the treatment. Not all systems offer full cancer treatment, which is really expensive. What the other systems do have is free basic care - you won't be bankrupted if you break your arm or need a gall bladder removed.

It's a myth that all healthcare needs are free everywhere. There's always some diseases that will fall through a net somewhere. This of course does not mean that the situation in the US is not abysmal, just that 'everywhere else has fully free medicine' is a myth.
You're dead right. The major hurdle isn't the technology, it's purely funding. We already have technology far more advanced than the Saturn V, the VentureStar for example could be built using 90's technology, and they were halfway done with a scale model when the project was canned. This was a fully reusable SSTO that would bring down the cost per pound to orbit by a factor of 10.

I think NASA needs to concentrate on its PR front. Tax payers simply don't see the economic benefit that comes from spending money on space exploration, most see it as a waste. Compare this to defence, tax breaks, or national security which are black holes of money.
No, I didn't, I rephrased what he wrote in terms that more obviously illustrate the absurdity of the argument he's making.
I for one try to only accuse folks of doing things I actually have evidence of them doing, and I know this sounds crazy, but there's currently no evidence the NSA is on HN astroturfing comments, so maybe we shouldn't pretend like we know things we don't.

It seems too soon to tell what's going to happen with io.js. It was released just a few days ago.
Your reply is whataboutism. Whataboutism is not part of respectful productive discussions.
> I’m not sure, let me check: did they break windows and doors to gain entry into the capitol building? Did they break into representatives’ offices? Were there weapons and detaining tools found on their persons?

So now your position is that it’s okay to occupy a capitol building as long as you don’t break windows, break into representatives offices, and/or some small percentage of them have weapons on them? Even if they directly cause no one harm. Okay. Was it immoral when BLM occupied and damaged the Ohio capitol? https://www.cleveland.com/open/2020/05/state-officials-asses...

> Damage included 28 broken windows along the west and south sides of the building, as well as damage to the wooden window frames, five pole lamps and two doors, including the West Rotunda entrance, according to the Capitol Square Review and Advisory Board, the agency responsible for keeping the Statehouse grounds. Flags planted in flower beds were burned.
Clearly Righthaven should have provided some stickers in exchange for the copyrights. Then it would have been all good.

(When the FSF sends you a copyright assignment form, they send you some GNU stickers. The document says something like, "in exchange for these stickers valued at $1, I provide FSF a non-exclusive copyright assignment." You get stickers, they get software, and it's apparently all good.)
