The discussion is about users who use IRC directly and consciously. Many of Twitch's users have no clue what IRC is. Imagine a new social app that used SMTP in its implementation. You wouldn't bring it up in a discussion about the popularity of email.

No one denies IRC's continued popularity as a protocol for broadcasting text over a network. Slack itself uses it. But it's dying out as measured by the number of people who say to their colleagues e.g. "get on IRC, I have something to tell you."

this is kinda correct, you won't be able to get it like that out of the box anymore in jessie stable, but you will be able to get it in unstable or by adding back ports to your system.

they think it's too insecure to include in stable.
I haven't read the article, but why not follow your passion that at least guarantees you a job in this industry. It's not what you "TRULY," want to do, but at least your making a living in the field you have an interest and a passion for.

i.e. I started up long ago & in the process learned how to code & design. A few years after I landed my first coding gig. I'm still coding for a living, while also still pursuing my startup/inventor goals.

Again, I didnt read the article, but I can't see anything negative in following your passion in our industry (tech), unless you you just waste money having others build your dreams and not gaining new skills yourself.
Those of you with a membership in ACM or IEEE, I'm interested in hearing your thoughts on why you do.

Those of you who don't, would you consider pledging yourself to a code of ethics if they met your requirements? What would those requirements be?
> In practice, I think most browsers won't include a "disassembler", under the justification that most users won't need it; I can see "View Source" unfortunately going that way too.

Thankfully for the openness of the Web, developer tools have been a source of intense competition among browsers. I see no reason why this will not continue to be true for introspection of Web Assembly.
​SSL/TLS Security Test by High-Tech Bridge
I don't think you can draw any conclusions from buggy OSX software that Apple couldn't write a good robust realtime system for a car. Or that they couldn't build a car.

The people who would build car brains for Apple would be hired from Car manufacturers.

The analogy would be any non-car software made by car manufacturers. It usually stinks, but isn't made by the same people who build car sw. It stinks because it can, which is because it's cheaper and no one dies because the www build-your-car configurator has bugs.

As for actually manufacturing a car: If I was Apple I'd buy a facility like the recently closed Saab plant in Sweden, where there are lots of skilled people and a factory ready to use (It's actually still making cars at small scale for various small manufacturers)
Given the market, they could either rent that place to a full-time tenant or sell it – the odds are strongly against them being underwater, given the market. Given the stated aims of increasing the supply of residential rentals/property ownership, I don't think this case is counter to the aim of the proposition.

EFnet is a single entity in the exact same way that Slack is. All channels belong to only their service. Introducing yet another chat service only adds another place to the list. https://xkcd.com/927

It's also nice that I don't have to signup anywhere to use most IRC servers.

Don't get me wrong—Slack is the perfect tool for businesses, but not for much else.
Genomics Marks the Next Sequence for FPGA's
It seems to me, since basic income didn't appear spontaneously so far, it probably requires coercive force to appear, so you're against it.

Anyway, thanks for the reply to my original comment. Like user "solipsism" though, I found your views somewhat contradictory. But it seems very apparent that your answer to my question "would you help me if I am in trouble?" is "NO, if it would mean to coerce the other party to leave you alone". Which is a rather weak ethic in my book.

Concurrently renting out 2 rooms so often that you would want this, is still a qualitative difference between renting out just 1 room or renting out your whole personal residence for just 5 weeks in the year. I don't know that it crosses a meaningful line yet, but it is moving toward the "professional/large-scale" side of the spectrum that your parent comment is complaining about.
> the idea of a neighbor trying to "figure out" usage or "talk to" customers about it is horrifying

I sympathize (and would therefore avoid this size community in the first place, I think) but I'm curious: what would you have the customer-neighbors do, if they're being impacted by one person's selfishness?
The costumer doesn't want them because the service constantly fails and they don't want the customer because he constantly complains. What's abusive about that? A perfectly healthy non-relation. The only abusive thing would be gov. getting in the way of it and forcing them to accept the customers or the costumers to accept the ISP.
Hopelessly Devoted – (Dubstep Remix)+ Hot Girls
Few people have enough life experience to know what they want to do. There are successful millionaires who don't really have to work and don't know to do with their lives. For most, after they are married and have kids those potential goals just become fantasy.

When I was young I was exposed to adults and activities from many different backgrounds outside of school. More than helping me determine what I liked doing it helped me find out what I did not want to do. Things I thought I wanted to be based on what I had seen in books and movies turned out to be further from reality.

If you can gain these experiences it is a luxury. If everything matches up it is fortunate.

My suggestion is the larger problem is many workplaces are negative environments and leadership is lacking. The one real job I had was in maintenance. I did shit like mopping floors and bagging garbage. My boss was great. The people I worked with were happy. I was very happy. Once I started my own business it took me many, many years to be that happy again.
Well under that definition "follow your passion" is the worst career advice because aside from breathing and eating few if any of us have a passion.
Article presents Russian POV.

For example it states that Kievan Rus was Russian predecesor state, "in what is now Ukraine".

It's like saying Roman Empire was a French predecessor state in what is now Italy. Not the whole story.

Not that it matters much, but it's one of the constantly repeated points of Russian propaganda - that Ukraine is a temporary state with no history.

And considering the defense as explanation for military conquests of Russia - which country in the west was supposed to invade Russia through Ukraine? Eastern EU and NATO members, with no power to do that by themselves, no nuclear detterent, much smaller military budgets, and no territorial demands in Russia?

I propose different explanation: Russia is governed by Putin for over a decade, he promised "prosperity instead of freedom", and delivered till 2013, mostly thanks to high oil prices. Ukraine was always portraited by Russia as "almost Russia", and Ukrainians started revolutions to win "freedom and prosperity" through eventual accession to EU.

Putin couldn't allow that to success, because if that is possible in Ukraine - it's possible in Russia. Few years ago there were big demonstrations against Putin in Moscow and St. Petersburg after another flawed elections (famous 140+% of votes in some districts :) ).

As long as Ukraine is an enemy, and is in crisis - no risk of Russians doing Majdan in Moscow.
Zimbra has packages for Ubuntu and CentOS which are really easy to install and upgrade.

Pros: It provides a good enough webmail, a good (collaborative) calendar, LDAP integration, etc. Configuring SPF, DKIM and https/smtps/imaps was pretty easy (good official wiki docs).

Cons: Since it's a very "industry ready" kind of project, with lots of corporations using it, so the community forums can be very hit or miss. "Community" (free software) downloads are harder to find on their website, and the binary package is a bit annoying to keep up to date (does not use apt/yum).

Overall, I find it sufficiently turn-key and it "just works", while still being based on free software. I also feel comfortable recommending it to clients who want to move away from MS Exchange or Google Apps, since there are lots of Zimbra commercial providers out there who can support it.

ps: Zimbra/mail is not part of my main business focus, I only manage our mail server because I don't like depending on a 3rd-party for something as critical as mail.
Huh? Why so defensive? What am I hoping to achieve? This is a discussion forum.. I'm hoping to achieve discussion. I'm not trying to change your ethics. I don't think I already know your answer, and I wouldn't have a "rebuttal" since there's nothing to rebut? I wasn't aware we were engaged in a debate.

I was simply asking where you think society would end up if we were to adopt your philosophy. I wasn't making a value judgment about what I imagined you'd say. When I explained that my "simulation" led to a shitty place, I wasn't presuming you'd agree it was shitty, and I wasn't asserting my simulation is likely to be more right than anyone else's.

Sometimes I stretch my neck out and try to have an intelligent conversation with people on here, as I would with friends. It's almost always a mistake. It's like a shark tank in here, everyone trying to prove everyone else wrong, and everyone assuming everyone else is trying to prove one wrong.

Dynamic addressing only helps if the maximum number of simultaneous users is significantly less than the total number of subscribers. When you're connecting houses, that's generally not the case.
Also, think about the people on the other side of that trade. They're buying the stock being dumped based on public information, and you're taking advantage of their ignorance. Morally, that feels awfully close to stealing from them.
Cancer myths about antioxidant supplements need to die
Yes. There's been a troublesome pattern lately where someone, usually a stranger, comes into a software-related community requesting a code of conduct, which usually enshrines a very narrow political viewpoint and is easily abused for harassment purposes; the community protests or at the very least demonstrates that opinions are highly divided on the topic; and then the operators of the community install the code anyway.

It kind of looks like in this case the operators of the community are going to cut out the middleman.
Good news! Many other livestreaming sites allow this!
Note that I'm not talking about integrating "Google's PNaCl" into another browser (that code is Google-proprietary, for your listed too-much-of-a-mess reasons if nothing else.) Mozilla et al wouldn't use Google's NaCl engine in Firefox any more than they would use Google's Javascript engine, or any more than they would have integrated ActiveX into Firefox just to call XMLHttpRequest.

I'm instead talking about implementing one's own LLVM-bitcode-compiling zero-install plugin architecture with safety guarantees derived from static analysis (i.e. what you get by implementing the whitepaper[1]), providing a similar API to plugins to NaCl's PPAPI.

The result would just be an ecosystem of "Native-binary Sandbox engines" and an API working group that is to {portable LLVM IR ISA, PPAPI} as the ECMA is to {Javascript, the browser DOM}.

Slight amendment to the definition of faith: Despite evidence to the contrary of X, I still believe in X.

Your definition of faith is more like my definition of fundamentalism: All evidence to the contrary of X is meaningless because X is true.

The distinction is subtle but note that faith uses the concept of faith as adjunct to rationality, rather than as replacement.
All of the complaints about IRC relate to service interruptions, channels with a high # of people slowing the server, security, etc. You can fix those things by running a private network, but not for free.
Sure, but you at least you have the ability to inspect the code which is running on your machine. A FOSS client to a proprietary service is still meaningful.
How to Easily Master Google Search Engine and Become a Power User [Infographic]
But that brings us back to mbillie and "if <x> were so great, everyone would already use/do <x>". Does popularity necessarily imply superiority? Adoption just means it's easy for anyone to get aboard. But that doesn't mean it's implicitly good, in any other way. Worse is better works, for example, if one option is more approachable than the other. Decentralization is good, as a rule of the thumb. Not having everyone on the same network, but having the ability to set up your own network or service based on the technology, is a good thing. Why would you want to have everyone on the same network? Networks are often topic-related. For example Freenode for programming-related topics. Minecraft is pretty focused on EsperNet. Quakenet used to be the place to online gaming. This is usefull and good, since communities sort themselves by interest, views, tools or what have you, by default. So why not encourage self-sustainability through means of decentralization?

This was written in surprisingly easy-to-understand language. The original article[0] goes into a little more detail but mentions something fundamental about black holes that I do not yet understand:

"The so-called teleology of the black hole event horizon is an artifact of the way in which physicists define an event horizon: the event horizon is defined with respect to infinite future elapsed time, so by definition it 'knows' about the entire fate of the universe[...]".

Can someone explain to me why this is? Why infinite future elapsed time if you don't see black holes as holographic screens?

I don't think this is true at all. Name one such scientific consensus that was, like climate change, the result of different sources of experimental evidence, that turned out to completely wrong.

The phlogiston theory comes to mind. Combustion was surprisingly hard for science to get a handle on.

The evolution of various atomic models prior to Bohr is also a case where one "consensus" after another was overturned by new evidence. And even Einstein was reluctant to let go of the notion of a luminiferous ether.

And that's just physics. I'm sure biology and anatomy/physiology experts could fill volumes with accounts of false consensuses that took a long time to reverse.

Disabling javascript does not protect you against a sufficiently malicious enterprise - and I'd label both the three-letter-agencies and the ex-Soviet mafiya as such. Both have been proven to use such tactics.
If the very definition of science is subject to a vote, then by winning the vote you can throw out whatever principles you disagree with and redefine it to mean whatever you believe it to mean, right?

Luckily it doesn't work like that at all. Science progresses when incorrect theories are falsified. No army of philosophers will ever be able to change that with a silly meta argument.
> The discussion is about users who use IRC directly and consciously.

From the parent post I replied to, "IRC's user base is declining". Every single person watching a Twitch stream is an IRC user, whether they know it or not.

How do you determine the popularity of something? How many people use it.

Android is extremely popular. Do most of the folks realize they're using an Android phone? Nope.

Does it mean Android isn't popular? Nope.

If you don't have a similar understanding, we'll have to agree to disagree.

> The point is more that it's dying out as measured by people who say to their colleagues e.g. "jump on IRC, I've got something to tell you."

Of course they wouldn't, you're already speaking with them. Slack is fine for trusted networks of peers (businesses), but not much else. I won't start chatting with any my friends using it, nor would I bother to sign up somewhere to get access to a random Slack channel/community instead of using IRC, where I also coincidentally wouldn't need any of Slack's features.

>The burden is on you to justify your right to privacy.

Privacy is a human right. I am the only one who gets to decide what information I divulge about myself, except in the very small set of circumstances where my right to privacy has to be balanced against the human rights of others.

Nobody should ever have to justify one's right to privacy.
I mean, you're not limited to one browser window. Having one browser window for just Slack is like having a mIRC window for all the IRC channels you're in.

Ask HN: How to get web traffic for my startup?
I've recently launched a technology job marketplace, and I'm having a tough time driving initial web traffic. I'm even creating a bunch of career-related resources for people in the target market, which I am trying to get people to visit. I dabbled in Twitter, but it's been a waste of time. I've been publishing stuff on Medium, as well, without much luck there. The only thing that has actually made a difference is Reddit, from which all I've been able to produce is a trickle of visitors with a high bounce rate.

Does anyone have any advice? Happy to provide more info if it helps. Thanks!
The situation is now like this:

* In Debian Jessie, you can still install the Debian Elasticsearch package, but it will not receive security updates any longer.

* In future releases of Debian, this package will not be available in the main repo, but will still be available in the unstable or jessie-backports repos.

* Elasticsearch (the company) maintains its own Apt repositories where they will provide updated versions according to their support policies. If you add this repository to your Debian based systems you can install the (supported) Elasticsearch package with "apt-get install elasticsearch".

It is my opinion that you should not deploy the Debian ES package in a production setting. Use the vendor repo and save yourself a headache.
EDIT: You're right, economic loss is a cause of a fall in stock prices, not the other way around, in this scenario.

I'm saying the lost value is the coal in the ground doing nothing[1], from billionaires selling stock and purchasing land rights and doing nothing. I'm disregarding the numbers and stock prices and think about what's really happening, and what shifting all this capital means. I am putting on two hats at once to connect these financial actions with reality. The answer clearly depends on the caveat described below. If coal can produce power and the economic gain can be profitably allocated to counter environmental and societal damage, then leaving the coal in the ground is the loss that will be incurred when billionaires sell their stock and purchase land rights. That loss will be shared by everybody. Hundreds of thousands of companies' costs will go up, and their profits reduced, due to reduced electricity supply or increased cost of electricity, and their stock prices will be reduced. Production that is marginally profitable will be wiped out. That is the answer. Just like the world would lose out if Sergey and Larry didn't start google. In that alternate universe, the market capitalisation of stocks that rely on search engines would be lower.

[1] With the caveat being the coal could be used to produce enough extra electricity in conjunction with other forms of electricity generation to counter it's own negative effects. That is, at this current moment, instead of using coal, there won't be more utility to spam solar power or wind power in less efficient places today.[2]

[2] Assuming current solar power and wind power has been placed in the most efficient places already.

Saying something doesn't automatically make it true... however, I believe it is in this case, but maybe not to the degree the quote/you imply: it seems to me that current Swift may not be the best choice for say, writing the kernel itself, or extremely demanding components like a JS engine/the core of a web-browser.

NB. the Rust leadership understands this: it's part of why crates.io was an early investment (and literally an investment: Mozilla put money into it), and why there's a pile of efforts towards improving tooling, including IDE integration.

Well... you do make a comment along these lines on essentially every Rust thread here, so it may be getting a bit repetitive at this point.
The other sources are glacial melt, heat expansion, and water storage on land decreasing.

You need both the models and the data. Facts without theory answer only what happened, not why, you can't make projections without theory. Theory without facts... pretty obvious problem there.
