Yes, here's the Phoronix performance benchmark for the open source graphics:

http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=intel-hd-...

In general Intel has been very good on open source graphics, they don't have a proprietary driver for Linux at all. However you'll need to pass in an argument to the kernel to enable any sort of good performance until at least the 4.3 kernel.
No, jQuery is still required.
Booooooooooo. Bootstrap is the most popular CSS/UI framework on the planet. I don't get why they continue to depend on jQuery while most modern app frameworks are abandoning it...
I just typed it in window.
Dude, code however you feel like. I'm not getting into a troll fest about why it's stupid to use regex's for everything.
Yeah, I also like the move to SASS! I used to work with an unofficieal sass port of bootstrap, but not in the future!

(I know less / sass is about the same thing, but i have a bunch of folders of old projects i can copy-paste from in sass, and not in less, so i'm super biased)
I can't really speak to the miniatures/RPG type games, but the folks in my eurogaming circle have pretty much sworn off buying kickstarter games. KS's video pitch tends to optimize for games with high visual appeal, or that are otherwise thematically awesome (funny, clever, dark, etc), but are lacking (or at least insufficiently tested) in actual gameplay fundamentals.

The one I got bitten by was Euphoria: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v29GYH1sb2g

As above, gorgeous artwork, great theme— but it practically plays itself. The gameplay is a notch or two above parcheesi, but with fifteen minutes of rules explaining on the front end.

For prototyping this is okay. But for production I try to keep bloat as low as possible. I see this as service to my customers. A fat ui framework like this adds its very own complexity and as soon as you want to go out of the crud box you will have to add your own styles anyway.
It seems mysql (and hopefully postgresql sometime soon) with custom sharding logic in the app layer still hits the sweet spot for scaling to the order of 100M users. With some thoughts going into designing an appropriate data model and sharding logic, certain join queries can be delegated to the databases too.
This for sure conveys a certain magic, I cannot quite explain how that happens honestly, but we have to recognize that the highly amateurish design makes for a more.. alive thing.

Hmmm, are we close to the next paradigm shift? :)

Perhaps there is a reason why after the perfectly smooth and metal-shining flying-saucers the next stage is usually biotechnologies..

Websites like csszengarden.com showed us the promise of style sheets

And that's all it was - promise. There is a reason why CSS Zen Garden was just an example using a single page as a template.

In reality, people now make webapps of incredible size. A lot of what CSS Modules seems to be trying to fix is exactly that - how to maintain a lot of styles without namespace clashing, one giant CSS file, etc. etc.

I spent a lot of time dealing with all that, so I don't look back at the past in a positive way. I'm not saying CSS Modules is the answer, but it's interesting at least.
I hear what you're saying and I'm not pulling out any pitchforks, don't worry.

Having said that,

> For instance: saying that you are going to use a condom then removing it without the knowledge of your partner would be rape.

In which country is that rape? I think pretending to use a condom and secretly removing it is morally deplorable, and the mark of a terrible person, but it's insulting to actual rape victims to consider it rape.

> One could argue that being in a marriage with the promise of monogamy, but failing to keep that promise, would mean that all instances of sex with your partner are then rape

I can't think of any universe where this makes sense. It's an act of dishonesty, and a pretty serious one depending on your upbringing and personal convictions, but rape? Sorry, that sounds seriously fucked up to me. I wouldn't want to live in a place where being unfaithful is equated to being a rapist.
I completely agree with you. Where they are intentionally misleading is in pretending that keeping one object for a zillion years is the same as keeping a zillion objects for one year.
printf isn't good enough for you?
(I'm the author of the article) I'm 28 and I’m currently a Big Data developer (I use Hadoop, HBase, Hive …) and I don’t understand the buzz surrounding Big Data and NoSQL.

With a relational database the complexity is hidden (more or less…) whereas with Big Data and NoSQL the developer needs to deal with this complexity himself/herself. As a result, most of the Big Data applications I’ve seen don’t work well.

A really like Big Data because it’s more complex but to be honest, most of the time my work does not required the “Big Data scale”.
Looks like somebody took a huge dose of Ketamine! Those graphics are crazy and so distracting.
Does anyone know why they don't want to support right-to-left? I've seen tons of questions and posts about it over the years so I'm surprised that even with the next major release they aren't addressing it. Maybe I'm missing a perspective here though -- don't other people think that rtl should be a core capability of a framework like this? I'm also curious whether accessibility will be improved in 4.x.
I choose Flask because it's lightweight with good plugin support (especially SQLAlchemy).

Furthermore, mentioning homosexuality made me think. In 2003, Lawrence vs Texas, the Supreme Court ruled that "sexual activity between consenting adults is legal", and that attempts to make it not so were unconstitutional. That's been held up in the case of homosexuality, but (perhaps because in most states it is already not prosecuted much and a misdemeanor) it's never been tested.

So yes. It's illegal. In some states. Has largely been determined to be unconstitutional, your handwaving of "these people broke the law, they get no sympathy" notwithstanding.
Oh, the star-bellied Sneetches bear blame, all right. How they found out about the plain-bellies doesn't change that.

What does change is who else might be responsible, and who among them bears blame. Your neighbor is responsible, but not to blame -- she intended to help the plain-bellies hide, but made a mistake. You would bear both responsibility and blame, as your disclosures led to the plain-bellies being whisked away, you can be expected to have know that would be the likely result, and you didn't have a good reason to do it anyway.

Snowden and Manning would also bear responsibility for the consequences of their actions. Blame? I don't know. I tend to doubt it. Even though they should have expected that there would be bad fallout, I do believe they had a good reason to move ahead.

Impact Team? I'm not sure what justifies putting a man in jeopardy of his life, but personally, I (edit: do not) think that outing millions of (by-and-large unsuccessful) adulterers rises to the occasion.
They've been struck down in court in Ontario, Canada but that doesn't stop companies from shoving the wording into employment contracts and being insistent on it.
I'm curious about the process of writing the Docs in markdown.
coffeescript? I thought by now they'd switch to a more advanced language (say, TypeScript or ES6+flow).
In exactly which countries is having sex with someone under the false pretense you're being faithful the same as rape? Note: not simply illegal or punishable by law, but actual rape. Otherwise I think this point is moot.

If there are such countries, I wouldn't want to live there.

PS: if we're talking about countries where adulterous women can be stoned to death, I think we can all agree that is horrible and the public shaming of Ashley Madison customers completely pales next to the crime against humanity that is mutilating or murdering people for being unfaithful or gay. I'd consider those countries completely beyond the scope of this discussion.

I hope this leads to a 'standard' way of developing Bootstrap-based templates. Something comparable to the submission guidelines on WrapBootstrap but codifying how a template's assets should be arranged, written, etc. Using Bootstrap as a base for new template designs was a major step forward for the template industry because customers aren't walking into a completely foreign codebase with each purchase. If that familiarity were extended further then it could lead to interoperability of component styles between templates developed by different designers, which is something customers have brought up numerous times over the years. It's never quite that simple but I think for example simple namespaces would be a step in the right direction ('.unify .nav-tabs' and '.vitality .nav-tabs').
Can someone tell me why people continue to work for a toxic place if they are being abused?

Show HN: Ritzy – Google Docs-like rich text editor
[tried to move to parent, but I lost the ability to edit before I could go back and add the whitespace... so I'm putting it back here so it is easier to read... sorry, I have no idea what I'm doing!!]

Ah, I think you're assuming that I'm saying they should go to a completely paid-for-in-cash-by-users model... which I'm not!

I'm just saying that if they flipped the model, and covered the operations costs directly from users, that the books would make more sense. This would make the accounting significantly more complex, so I wasn't making an argument for simplicity, rather as much detail and accuracy as possible! This information can be later analyzed and acted upon in simple ways.

This doesn't mean that there can't be a free to use service on top of a model like this. It just means that advertisers are literally paying on behalf of users for hosting, distribution and other operating costs.

This would mean that there wouldn't be advertisements on the read-side, in the "stream", rather on the write-side, when publishing... like with sponsored posts... Like, I personally choose to make my post sponsored by the Buffalo Bills because I love giving my money to the Buffalo Bills and the NFL (which I really do).

Or maybe some low-rent ads make you watch a 20 second video before paying for you to upload 200 photos from your phone, but at least you don't have to associate yourself with them.

We're smart enough to create the kinds of incentive structures that have made intellectual property function in a market economy for hundreds of years, we just need to revisit some deep fundamentals about how we buy and sell information.

It'll work out better for everyone. Facebook could take a percentage of the business for having created the market that introduced the advertisers to the authors. The authors are now free to do business as they please, directly covering their own costs or choosing to have them subsidized. The advertisers can establish better relationships with the authors, essentially treating them like business partners.
Haven't read the article you linked to, but the Brian Kernighan talk it discusses is fantastic, one of my favorite reads in the field:

Everyone I know who has taken maternity leave has very much had an obligation to go back afterwards, or pay pack the money paid while they were off.

I'm also not familiar with anyone who has got pregnant to avoid layoffs, if nothing else given the cost of raising a child it seems like a very poor tradeoff.
Not true, Riak was completely, 100% correct with siblings enabled, which is Totally Expected behavior for a standard Dynamo-style system.

The criticism is that last-write-wins is the default, and that's a fair criticism--that's not an honest default for a robust eventually consistent system like Riak. My guess is they default to LWW to ease onboarding of new users. Everyone is worried about rivaling MongoDB's out-of-the-box experience so you don't scare people away...

TBH, though, if you're using a distributed, eventually consistent storage system without understanding the consequences, you're probably using the wrong tool.
Indeed "on average" covers the entire period and from initial local-node intake of the data it has to then be propergated to another site to increase integrity probability. So if it takes even 5 seconds to propergate to several sites at different locations then the durability scales from when the clock starts.

Heck once in every 10,000,000 years, the odds of winning the USA lottery are around one in 175,000,000 and yet people partake and somebody wins. So it is always worth looking at odds from another perspective and accept it is either impossible, probably or possible and as we know the return from investment in durability is logarithmic in cost going up and return getting smaller.

Still one of the biggest issues in any datacentre is not just the power, but also the quality of the power and even the slightest noise could and does increase the odds of some electronics going wrong. UPS's (though been many years) will put out a square wave in modulation and the ideal is a perfect sine-wave. It is truly educational to see the quality of many power sources on an oscilloscope. Also equipment on the same circuit can also induce noise, so can vary rack to rack.
So tell me, why could the child not stay with his father? Why was it better that he live in a flophouse?
Well, there's the opposite argument:

"Wouldn't successive lightning strikes be less likely due to reduced local electric potential?"

It's not readily apparent to me which of the effects will be larger.

I'm glad Intel are addressing the weakness of integrated graphics, I personally believe PC gaming has tons of potential to grow, as long as you can play a good chunk of new games on integrated graphics (not at the highest resolutions of course, but where it's still possible to play competitively).

As an aside, this won't help me, I'm never buying Intel again, not until they remove the AMT feature.
I would like to introduce the open source Ritzy web-based rich text editor: http://ritzyed.github.io/ritzy/. It is based on React [1] and SwarmJS [2] and primarily intended for embedding into applications to support rich text entry with real-time collaboration. Technically, it works similarly to Google Docs and eschews ContentEditable in favor of a custom javascript-based editor surface and layout engine [3]. As far as I know, this is the first open source implementation of this technique. Please see the project README and source code [4] for more details. Note that this is pretty new and hasn't seen any real-world testing/usage, so there are some known bugs [5] and likely lots of unknown ones as well.

Depending on interest, I am considering offering the editor as a software-as-a-service solution. Because it is intended for real-time collaboration, a server-side component is (currently) required. While a simple implementation is part of the open source project, a more complete commercial service could handle storage, communications, security, availability, and provide a simple but powerful API for developers. The API would allow interaction with client-side editors and the data they contain, including real-time server-side push updates as editor contents change. Please let me know if your company or startup may be interested in such a service.

Thanks for sharing! So roughly 20% slower for computationally intensive workloads, likely due to nested paging putting increased pressure on the TLB. For applications using huge pages, the slowdown would likely be much less. Both docker and KVM introduce a lot of overhead with frequent, small IOs. That's likely the chattiness of the syscalls with the Kernel, which is a problem even without virtualization. Doing more work per syscall reduces those overheads. e.g. writev, readv, sendmmsg recvmmsg, etc. The context switch involved in syscalls (especially the cache and TLB pollution they cause) is very expensive.
Good overview of traditional OLTP architectures. As complicated as they look from the article, it is just scratching the surface of a sophisticated implementation. There are many internals common to more advanced designs that are not even mentioned, and the article is already quite long!

The thing I love most about database engines is that there is probably more hardcore computer science per line of code than any other software system of similar scope. It is a very rich ecosystem for an algorithms and data structures geek.

I know several people who have tried ketamine, but in powder form. Have any of you on HN tried? I saw people doing it only once, and they seemed quite functional, though a bit inebriated. They said it was a very pleasurable high. I guess they were on low doses.

My main problem with street bought drugs is that you never really know what you're getting (I'm a chemist, seen my fair share of "white powders" during my training). I have argued with people countless times against their using substances of unknown origin. I'm really glad to see this available in a safe clinical setting. It's very mature.

You just wait until you have your own "offspring". Inheriting money won't mean they'll grow up without work ethic -- that only happens when a parent fails to teach their child that skill.

You WILL be giving your child the freedom to explore his or her passion to the absolute fullest, and to arrive at his or her greatest potential.

Logging can be of great practical utility, but being able to stop a program and freeze it in its state to figure things out is also pretty nice right. You can walk up and down the stack, inspect the scope and the state of things, walk through line after line of code to try and find things in a way that would take a really long time with logging.

So no, printf is not good enough. That's why people have created debuggers.
>>> I don't care where you land on the side of the debate whether to use Bootstrap or not.

I used to be totally against Bootstrap for a myriad of reasons. Then I got hired to build a fairly complex transactional application for a large health care organization under a tight schedule.

Bootstrap allowed me to get a UI up and running super fast with all the components I needed, out of the box. It literally saved me hundreds of hours of work. I look at it completely different now.

This version looks pretty sweet and I'm already eyeing up version 4 for a few future projects I've got in the hopper.
Thanks jacksgavigan, I misread. Now I see the option positions that they're doing, I missed the fact that they are doing a bull-put spread and then a covered call.

Looks like they only make money on asset management fees and also commission fees; not on the spread of the option positions.
I agree completely with your comments about ContentEditable. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10087162 for my own recent contribution to the rich text editing problem without using ContentEditable.
Means Bootstrap is a few years behind Foundation...
Or the Y(C)-Factor, where they just televise the YC process.

Given the bizarre effect the X Factor had on the entire ecosystem it operates in you could make a very strong case that it would be a massive net benefit to all participants.
