rexxars/sse-channel has a very useful support of history. When a client is disconnected and then reconnected, events that were missed are automatically resent. They use the ID provided by SSE to know what to send. You can count on all events getting through without a lot of overhead.

One thing I think is wrong though is that no ID is sent on the first connection so history isn't sent then. My app needs this so I send the history myself on new connections.
For instance, none of the third-party Twitter apps show ads. And that's exactly the part of the app that would have a lot of A/B testing and new features.
Yeah, sorry, remembering one event led to other memories bubbling up after the initial post. The only substantial edit was to add the paragraph highlighting the point about perspective, not knowing others' intentions – I think. I haven't edited it since your reply, FWIW.

Anyway, I think I hear what you're saying. Some of it is contextual though, right?

If I were to walk up to one of my neighbors in my little suburban, sidewalked neighborhood with a shotgun, even muzzle-up leaned on my shoulder, that would be atypical for this community, and I agree that would absolutely be interpreted as aggressive, escalating, etc., in this context. I would certainly be leery of a neighbor walking around holding a gun.

However, I grew up in a farming community. It was common to see people driving pickups with guns mounted on a rack in the back of the cab. It was common to see teenagers (myself included) exploring the woods by our house with a .22 rifle hanging from their shoulder or strapped to their bicycle as they rode past our house. If you bumped into a neighbor at the edge of your land, there was a (estimating here) 20% chance they'd have a rifle on them. My point is just that guns were prevalent in that context. So, carrying a gun in that context is not the same as brandishing it (technically to hostilely shake or wave) or indicating that you're ready to shoot someone.

EDIT: But yes, walking up to strangers on your land carrying a gun does carry an implied threat. I'm just saying it's much less of an escalation in that context.
The original definition of a "trigger" was for PTSD. However, people have begun to use it for anything upsetting, which makes the term less meaningful. It's now used satirically about as often as it is seriously.

Great read for anyone interested in the debate.
lately i've been trying to kill 2 birds with one stone - using my spare time to create open source modules that support what I'm doing at work, but also are something I can take with me and use on my own projects.

To get away with it, I look ahead and predict what I'll be working on down the road, then I build some modules on the weekend. Then next week when the need arises, I can say "hey I built this thing that might help, want to use it?"

at this rate i should have a full framework done by the time i'm ready to move on

(this strategy works with OSS, but could be done with blogging too. like how Ryan Hoover blogged furiously about his previous job before ProductHunt.)

GiveWell [1] does a lot of research to come up with their list of recommended charities - ones that will have the highest amount of impact for each dollar donated to them.

A couple times every year I look at their top charity and drop a few hundred dollars on them. IMO if you want to maximize the impact of your donation, you can't go wrong with this approach.

I have heard that in Europe, taxation on property is based solely on the area, encouraging upward growth, while in the US the value of what you build on it also factors in. Therefore, in the US, a flat parking lot is not as expensive/wasteful as it would be in Europe. I can't speak to it generally, but it did seem my experiences of European downtown areas did not include private parking lots, but rather more parking garages.
No its not about classist opinion.

I'll tell you how it'll go. You would probably as a way of casual conversation(in What's App or FB messenger) , mention that it would be nice if you bought an Air Conditioner. Now, normally FB won't(hopefully) read those messages because of its privacy policy.

Take free basics now, they're explicitly static that they can decrypt traffic. So now that you've mentioned an Air Conditioner, FB will start showing ads the next day saying "Air Conditioners at a discounted price". You get influenced and buy it(remember, you did not impulsively go to a shop and seek to buy one, you just mentioned it as a way of casual conversation). Do you see where its going?

That's one part of the problem. The rest is already summarized nicely by IIT professors.

I think many people will not only start to look harder at lower-priced phones, but they will consider going longer between upgrades, and become more interested in second-hand phones.

The biggest thing going on here, in my opinion, is that there is now a decoupling between "device" and "plan" in the consumer's mind where there was previously a very strong coupling. Savvy users have been able to buy a phone somewhere besides an AT&T store for a long time, but up until now it's never been a normal/default choice compared to going into an AT&T store, buying a phone there and signing a bunch of stuff that involves contracts and plan changes and fees. The default expectation now is that I should be able to plug a SIM into a phone and start using it without having to consult anyone, make account changes, pay fees or other BS.

Embracing Modern C++ (RAII, STL, range-based for loops) helps you avoid a big chunk of memory safety problems.

Contracts and some of the stuff in the new Core guidelines take it further.

Everyone's needs are different obviously. The stuff I work on has tons of users and start up perf and minimal memory usage are primary requirements. Most of our bugs are nullptr access violations or straight up programming errors that C# doesn't shield you from either.
Some of what you point out is that macroeconomics is difficult. Even micro is difficult, because you can't just go running all the experiments on people that you'd like to, but running experiments with entire countries is "kind of" difficult.

That doesn't mean it's worthless or mostly partisan or 'religious' (that seems particularly nonsensical).

It's fair to point out that economics - like most human fields of study and endeavor - has its problems, but I do object to the broad-brush one-liner style of discussion.
One reason this is brought up is this recent Op-ed in the NY Times about enacting a Window Tax: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/31/opinion/make-them-pay-for-...
Hm. I find no discussion of this essay at all in that thread? Just some tangential digressions.
This isn't really about developed countries and grumpy corporate device policies, it's more about very poor people and their really old second hand feature phones. These are people who use the same device for 5, even 10 years and don't really have the resources to replace them more frequently.

Math is good. Philosophy is better.

Your salary is what you live on. Everything else is a bonus. As a salaried engineer I have received basically every 'extra' there is. Cash bonus. Equity bonus. Options. Restricted Stock Units. Overtime pay by the hour (seriously!)

In all cases I do not plan to get that money. I don't use it to pay rent or a mortgage. I don't use it to buy clothes or food. You might argue that is a luxury, but honestly if you can't afford your lifestyle without the bonus, then what happens when there are bad times and you don't get the bonus?

I set this up so explicitly that I have a separate bank account for that money and when a bonus comes in it gets transferred away from the day to day account. This years vacation is paid for with last years bonus.
Yes, the big draw was the hardware acceleration, and the software this enabled. There were many Amiga users who barely used the OS, and just played games instead (the OS was split over two parts, the Kickstart that would run from a ROM chip, and the Workbench that was run from floppy disk or hard drive. If you played games, you only needed the Kickstart). However, as the competition caught up to the hardware of the Amiga, the importance of the OS in setting the Amiga apart increased.

The PPC Amigas don't really have custom co-processors. One or two of the PPC Amigas has an embedded microcontroller or FPGA, but they're not very powerful. You're also able to use some dedicated PC GPUs.

With regards to the future of Amiga hardware, what interests me more than the PPC machines are the FPGA computers/accelerators. For example, MiST board is able to recreate Amiga hardware in FPGA, along with a number of other classic computers.

AFAIK this statement is 100% wrong. The Architeuthis, while slow moving, looked totally healthy to the diver and bystanders that looked at it, as well as to this amateur teuthologist (look it up). It sprayed some ink and did exploratory movements with its tentacles that suggested it was confused rather than sick, and while docile, moved on its own throughout all the (five) different videos I saw. Almost certainly a juvenile, it is nonetheless in much warmer and lighter waters that where it lives, which would explain the constricted size of the eyes. The mottled colors are just one of many looks this awesome animal presents to the world, reflecting stress perhaps but not an indication of ill health at all.
Options are for suckers.

Do you want to be an investor? No? then why would you pay for stock out of your own money?

At our startup everyone gets the same stock, not options, through our Equity Incentive Plan. Here's how it works.

1. We lend new employees the amount of money it would take to buy common stock on a non-recourse promissory note the collateral in this case is the stock itself.

2. The employee then buys the shares from the company with the loan.

3. The employee then files an 83b election so that when it comes time to cash out, they only pay taxes at the strike price of when the shares were bought.

4. At a liquidity event, the promissory note goes away and they own the shares outright

5. They only pay taxes when they sell their shares not when they buy them

Now there are other provisions like if they want to sell prior to a liquidity event, we get rights to buy them back first if we choose to - in which case we just write off whatever the unvested portion from the note and take those shares back.

In the end it gives the employee actual rights to the same class of stock as the founders, so we can't fudge our employees out of stock benefits without hurting our own shares. This also prevents them for having to lay out any money until there is an actual no kidding liquidity event, so they take no risk of paying taxes on something which might be worthless. Even then they will only ever have to pay taxes on the shares, the promissory note goes away, so in effect looks like a equity grant at the time of sale.

The Glen Park location is not in The City? Really? I lived in the area when I was in high school, and it is very much a part of The City. It's about a 1.5 miles (in a city 7 miles across) from the border with Daly City. There are over 70,000 San Francisco residents in the zip code south of this location, with at least 120,000 living in the southern part of The City. There is significant shopping, parks, schools and a freaking college in the area. Why don't you ask one of those people if they think they realistically call where they live The City?
Really? Any details on that? I figured that was an add-on, like everything else from AT&T.
Yes, yes, and yes, you nailed it. The author of the article seems to have difficulty separating "problems specific to WebSockets" and "specific problems I have."

People who say "REST is dead, AJAX is dead, HTTP headers are dead, all hail the new sockets" are wide-eyed fanatics and this article is a useful corrective to them, but it's definitely not an even-handed analysis.

There are too many problems with the article to do a line-by-line rebuttal, but the one that was most silly for me was "what if a user has multiple tabs open, oh noes!" It's trivial to implement a session id then disconnect the inactive tab(s), and has been for a long time.

This kind of illustrates that it's not that your blood boils or anything crazy like that, but rather that without external pressure, your body relies on your squishy flesh to hold the internal pressures in check. So you'll get a full-body hickey/swelling and the bends (though deep sea divers can, of course, suffer far worse since their internal pressure can be multiple atmospheres). If you've any exposed mucus membranes, expect them to off-gas and to start to freeze on the surface.

But all that takes time to really set in, so you've got a minute or so before you're really hurt. By that time, your real problem is simply that you've stopped breathing, which turns out to be a big deal.

Evidence suggests not -- they still finance it, and the difference between $27/month (for a $650 phone) and $18/month (for a $450 phone) is one that most people would wave off.

This was the nasty part for me. I had to explicitly contact AT&T customer service and ask them to change my account from a contract plan to a Bring Your Own Phone plan once the contract expired in order to bring the bill down on month 25.

I figured most customers wouldn't notice to take advantage of this which is why I think a clearer separation between phone payments and cell service payments is a good thing.
Brandishing a weapon (carrying it openly and aggressively) will get your permit revoked in most states. Showing it, waving it, even mentioning that you are carrying are all classed as brandishing. The accusation of brandishing is often enough to lose the permit.

So the only sure way to carry is concealed. And never mention that you are doing it.
That part's true. It's probably almost always easier to find a better environment.
Medics checked him out each time, and cleared him. Are you suggesting Medics aren't to be trusted now too?

To what extent does this paranoia carry?

> How does that in any way suggest the police didn't give him head trauma?

How does this in any way suggest the police gave him head trauma? That's a straw man if I ever saw one.

The head trauma was a theory floated before the police reports where looked into (party because Ian was ranting about being "beaten" and "raped" by the police during his drunken rage). It's pretty clear that is not the case now. The most likely cause of death, was suicide (as announced by Ian himself just a few hours prior).

The man was out in the streets, alone, heavily drunk, and attempting to break into someone's home. This is a situation where we should want the police to intervene.

Just a few hours later, Ian was out in the streets, even more heavily intoxicated, this time pounding on random people's front door at 2:40 AM. This is a situation where we should want the police to intervene.

It's clear something was going on with Ian before all this started. What sequence of events led up to him being this drunk and disorderly in public at that wee hour of the morning?

Yet, because Ian, in his drunken rage, perceived the police as being out to just beat and rape him, people will cling to that theory and claim police brutality, without a single minute piece of evidence.

How many times has a drunken person mistakenly become violent against someone else who's trying to make them do something they don't want to do (send Ian home in this case)? All the time. The police reports read as just another drunk dude in the streets... it's a common story. Nothing unusual here.

It's curious times when we take the word of a drunk over official reports from multiple agencies and parties involved (police, paramedics, neighbors calls, etc...)
> Taken you a long time to get started.

Certainly it cost extra time, but it was mostly for learning. In the end it's not much more complex, just different. Some things that used to be easy are harder, but things that were very hard are now very easy. Cache-invalidation no more...

> What does it do? I hope the time investment is worth it and you're not trying to make a blog or some CRUD app.

It's a social network with push notifications and time registration. Users can share realtime location and status. I confess the scalability of the tech is not needed currently, but a fast ui even on very little hardware is still a benefit.
I didn't get much of a sense that anybody was being deterred by visa requirements. Pissed off, maybe, but let's say you're a business with a potentially lucrative and growing market in a foreign country? Are you going to suspend plans or operations because it's annoying and expensive to get a visa? Like hell. Same goes for tourists. If you have your heart set on seeing the Pyramids but get frustrated at the Egyptian visa process, are you really willing to settle for, say, Lebanon?
May it be that the circumstances are more than just "privacy being stripped."

For instance, what does the administration have to gain from spying en masse vs. what does that administration have to gain by spying specifically on another branch of government?

I'm not saying either of those things are ethical, rather that the second one is different and we should be upset about it for different reasons.

We can be upset at both, but to say they 100% the same is not understanding the larger situation.

* I don't know the congressman's own record about spying on the populace, but if he's all for it then I don't agree with that.
If anything I feel it's exactly the opposite. Ian was having a mental breakdown of some sort when he apparently committed suicide, and was not in his right mind.

Steve on the other hand was in full control of his facilities when he willfully refused treatment that might have saved, or at least extended his life. When he finally realized his mistake it was too late.

Collective identity? We're all individuals.
That's a funny point of view. Windows is made by a multi-billion dollar company, rented by countless wealthy software development shops, but it's volunteer open-source programmers who are supposed to take on the burden of supporting it? Seriously, I can't even comprehend that thought process.

I write software for fun, I release it on github, and some people find it useful. If there are other people who don't, they can improve it for their own purposes, or they can find or write something better. I don't think anybody has a right to expect me to support Microsoft's product. That's insane.
It would be interesting to see the rate of suicide (I'm not sure Ian's death is certain to be suicide yet, and I don't wish to speculate.) amongst tech-industry positions, and other industries as a whole, and whether the rate is increasing.

I've struggled recently with burnout, and add that to personal struggles such as relationships and friendships, I've been in a bad place more than once. Talking helps; though with Ian everything happened so quickly, and with Aaron also, the law was seemingly involved with both.

There must be FOI requests that can be made for this sort of data, and some analysis might indicate an underlying problem which could begin to be addressed.
From the examples, I don't really understand what it is supposed to be for? Link aggregator? For sharing your own tips and stories? For live-updates while travelling?
Symbols are literally everywhere you look. The sentence you just read is nothing but a chain of symbols which got resolved to an overall concept. 2 + 2 = 4 means nothing except to a human.

You're right -- symbols are cheap. However, they're the very threads our world is weaved with. Off topic I know, but I always think it's important to keep in my mind.
While it is a vendors issue, they don't just randomly support hardware. They go where the big guys are. As you say NVIDIA\ATI contribute to Direct X, but it happens because MS makes it happen. Google dragged the cell vendors into supporting Android. Desktop Linux just needs a backer that is big enough to make them put forth the effort.
I agree with you regarding suicide in general.

But not in this case, from his tweets he seemed to be having a mental breakdown. He can't be held responsible when his mind isn't working right.

No you didn't do it at the same time. You did learning at a higher pace than the average pace (which is the pace at which the teacher will cover material), and then did not learn for the remainder of the time. That's completely different from doing things simultaneously, i.e. at the same time.

It's a good guide for the gift buyer, but aspiring audiophiles beware: not every vinyl pressing was mastered better than, or even different from, the digital release. If you just get a kick out of vinyl's ritual and crack 'n' pop you'll be fine. If you're hoping for better dynamic range, however, a little research will save you a ton of disappointment.
I'm not up on this area of law, as it's been over a decade since I've owned a gun.

Are you saying that carrying/showing/mentioning (let's say non-aggressively) a gun on your own private property can be classified as brandishing? I've never heard that, but I really don't know.

EDIT: Also, what permit are you talking about? I don't know how things are now, but when I was growing up in AL (~20 years ago), you didn't need a permit to own a rifle or carry it on your own land.
I thought about that, but clearly they have enough information to figure out whether to load the package from the top level or a nested directory. (I'm guessing simply by bubbling up and looking for the "node_packages" directory.)

It doesn't seem too big of a leap to do it the way I was suggesting.

Either bubble up and look for "node_packages", but this time store a symlink there, or add a dot file that tells you "this is where I found package.json".

I'm sure there was a reason they didn't go for either of those solutions because I've followed the team's discussions when they were iojs, and they have very smart people. I was just curious about the reasoning :)
