Not sure if others are having the same experience with it, but I'm finding it just beyond my comprehension, in the best way possible. So I'm not sure how I'd comment on it.

And what I mean by 'just beyond my comprehension' is that it's far enough ahead (and also in the direction I'm headed), that I'll be reading it several times before it all really sinks in.

In short, I love it. I think this is really fantastic and I wish more folks took the time you did to really walk through more intricate concepts like this. Really, really appreciate the time you put in. Thank you.
We can sure hope so, but judging by the way how EC rolled over on its back to huge telcos in net neutrality directive I don't have much hope this will pass without content conglomerates breaking it in some way.
Thank you for detailed explanation.
Any language has some magic. Some languages have too much of magic (like Ruby) and I hope Rust will no go this way. But when magic is about to save couple of lines - I think it's ok, I'm with authors of Java,C#,etc in this term. I prefer to call it syntactic sugar, and to be fair, Rust have examples of such sugar. So in my opinion "sugared" (or magic) "this" keyword inside of method body is more optimal way to send receiver to method - it allows programmer to save lines of needed closures boilerplate.
Author here, thanks p4bl0 for posting this! :) I'm around to answer comments or questions.
By GitHub obviously. Improving their platform to maintain their momentum as a community hub is pretty much a no-brainer as far as I'm concerned.
Out of curiosity, is there much of a performance hit using Cloudant vs a Heroku managed DB?
Writing NgRepeat as a Web Component
No I recall when British telecom had generous voluntary redundancy several years pay plus 6 years pension payments. One guy I know got over £200k mostly tax free

They lost a lot of key technical people who took a huge pay off and joined a competitor.

And I know that for some specialties (radio planners) who where not allowed to go - the competition brought them out by paying $100,000k starting bonuses.
FWIW, I run 10 4G WD red disks in raidz2 using ZFS on Linux on Ubuntu 14.04 with only 4G of RAM (it's an old motherboard, doesn't support any more). No problems and perfectly acceptable performance for mostly backup and streaming workloads.
Very similar to my experience. A multitude of features I would never want to use, partly out of doubt (security, stability, etc).

My primary need was native (robust, sane, GUI-driven) iSCSI presentation ... which it completely failed to provide out of the box. That is, with a single iSCSI target, any significant activity over a GbE link would cause the QNap to crash. QNap support guided me towards a beta release of their software -- this solved the immediate problem, but I've never felt comfy upgrading (a one way process) from that release for fear of breaking iSCSI or other basic features. A less than ideal situation.

I guess I don't use SO as extensively as some; in the entire solution (21 projects) is have 2 references to stack overflow. And ofcource, if you use to look something up, no need to add it (unless you might need it later for further information), but if you use (parts of) code posted to SO, don't you want to know how it got in your code? I can tell by the way something is written who wrote it in our company; if 'strange' code is found in the solution, it's good to know why.
An obvious problem (and one that was highlighted but seemingly ignored) is that you require a significant amount of reputation on Meta in order to get the ability to down-vote something proposed on Meta - i.e. the proposed licence changes. You can only earn this by gaining reputation on Meta itself, so even if you are a prolific and highly rated contributor to other Stackexchange sites you may well have not been able to down vote the proposal, even if you wanted to.

This is obviously going to skew any voting decision in favour of the upvotes. so the 85% approval rating for the changes may not have been anything like that.

In any case, it appears that many of the upvotes were by people approving the idea that the licence terms needed to be re-evaluated, not they necessarily approved of the licence changes as proposed at the time. In fact, by far, the most heavily upvoted individual comments were very much against the proposed changes.
Can you give some additional context about your roles? Right now you make it sound like you and 2 others did all of the development work but are only getting 5% equity (which is IMO too low). Has your partner in the US found clients/customers/funding?
Amazon created a marketplace where anyone can sell anything and let it fester. I find something unbelievably broken every day. I found someone entered an Ethernet cable for like everything recognizable out there with an RJ-45 jack creating some 47 000 identical product pages in the process. Today I looked at http://www.amazon.ca/Manfrotto-Release-Special-Adapter-200PL... this is a tripod adapter and it's #135 in Tools & Home Improvement > Building Supplies > Building Materials . The http://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Automotive-Body-Repair-To... #5 Automotive Body Repair Tools is a Visible Cutaway of Padlocks Lock. I have seen ordinary ~20" LCD monitors weighing a thousand pounds, messenger bags fit for King Kong and who knows what else.
I was thinking just yesterday whether wikipedia will ever change its design or if it is timeless (unless devices change radically). I don't remember any major changes, I guess there were gradual that I didn't notice?
It's docker's networking library. If you want to integrate your networking into docker and not provide the necessary flags on docker daemon startup, you will have to integrate mess with it.
That is how you run a marathon you break it down into individual miles and work out your target time.

A critique of "How to C in 2016"
Well, it's faster than C++ with OpenMP so it's definitely the fastest safe language around. For sure faster and safer than Rust, and it looks better to the eye also.
What I'm missing are FFI finalizers and GC triggers as with libsigsegv. Long running hungry actors can force unhandled out of memory.
Yeah I feel exactly the same, what is the proportion of code on Stack Overflow which is over 25 lines ? 5%, 10% ? StackOverflow is not hosting software, they are hosting code solutions and it's not really the same thing.

Safari view controller was released as an API when we were further down in the development of Linkpack. That said, while Safari VC has some handy features like the reader mode, it does not let us do stuff like tracking the reading progress or customizing the look of it to match the look and feel of the Linkpack app. We do keep an eye on this API though.
The simplicity of the approach means that, given that the compressor is not baked into the format, it is readily exchangeable without having to change Farbfeld. In addition, nothing stops someone from creating an optimized compression format and bring it in with the same ease.
> And not in green paper IOUs but in goods and services?

Beyond covering my basic needs and having some toys, I don't really see the point in spending all my income. Goods and services? I already have those - more won't bring me happiness.

Financial security means one less stressor in my life. A sunny day / early retirement fund means I can take more time off between jobs, on vacations, and be more aggressive about getting job terms I like. I can go out and have more experiences. I don't need to save up to buy the things I want, because I haven't wasted my money buying things that don't bring me happiness.
Right at the moment we have none but we are already getting a lawyer to set this in papers. Which concerns me in the long run.
I've been using 4-bay QNAP for about 5 years now (don't remember the model off hand). The only thing I'd recommend is that you schedule SMART tests and make sure you have the email functionality configured properly.

During that time I've had to replace two drives (I'm still running 4 x 2TB in RAID5), and rebuilds take me about 10 hours.

It's not a perfect device, but it still fits my needs for now. Eventually I'll probably build my own, likely using FreeNAS, but then I'd probably want to at least go with 8x6TB drives, and I'm not ready to spend that money yet.
This was nothing more than an attention grabbing 'run-of-the-mill' counter post. Possibly to passively advertize 'chef'.
Nice!

Totally amazed by the Siri integration, had no idea you could do things like that. Not an Apple user, so I don't follow that corner of the DIY world.
Whoa - Wikipedia has been around more than half my life already?

Good on them! It's one of the best things humanity has ever created. Hopefully they'll find a funding strategy that doesn't make them constantly feel like panhandlers. They provide uncountably huge value, yet I suspect with their current marketing, even very heavy readers rarely donate.

EDIT: Sounds like they are working on it: https://15.wikipedia.org/endowment.html
Agree I worked on a project (to manage the UK's core SMDS network) where we had a long planing process (over 6 months) but built the product in a 12 week sprint at the end.
> Electric cars shifted the emissions to the power plant so drivers will have less feelings about their contribution to global warming.

Even the filthiest conventional power plants are significantly more efficient than the internal combustion engine and emit fewer greenhouse gasses.

Aside from that, the electric grid is becoming cleaner by the month which means EVs automatically become cleaner as we transition to renewables and clean generation. Gasoline engines never become cleaner.

That's the main sustainability argument for EVs: de-coupling transportation from oil or any particular fuel, thereby enabling a clear path as the grid continues to transition to renewables.
The thing is that "how do you escape a flarb" would be closed on SO for being trivial, showing lack of research etc. If, on the other hand, half your commit is something highly nontrivial you got from Marge, you might well note that in a comment, or perhaps in the commit message.
@Sir_Substance - thank you for the kind mention. I agree with you but don't forget that any Empire will fall sooner or later. People work with enthusiasm at a new project, after a while this new excitement is replaced by greed because the financial thing becomes the most important aspect. At this stage I would say that GitHub is Google, SourceForge is Yahoo and FossHub aims to become DuckDuckGo. We need to improve so instead of throwing us at garbage we would appreciate a constructive criticism. Thank you!
Fosite is going to support OpenID Connect ( http://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-core-1_0.html ) which could be something you should look at.

Is it possible to decap a processor without damaging it? (ie. so it will continue to work) If you could do that, then you could attempt to probe the unencrypted data or the key.
I find their campaigns rather effective. I have the impression they do a big surge once a year with banners everywhere on the site. I find it very effective at reminding you how wikipedia bring you value everytime you use it. At least it made me donate at each occasions and I don't consider myself as a heavy user (hardly one consultation / week), and I think it is the only project I have donated multiple times.
You're not alone. I've got a fair wodge of code on SO and don't really give a crap what people do with it. If I cared tremendously then I wouldn't put it on the internet.

I guess the only exceptions might be:

- if the wodge of code is fairly substantial (how you'd measure that I don't know, but in the words of Potter Stewart - "I'll know it when I see it"); and

- you write a blog post and it's based substantially on my answer and code then a link back to my post would be common courtesy

- you write a book and include my code then attribution might be nice

- you include it in your open source project

I guess it's more as a common courtesy than me being litigious and it's not the end of the world if this doesn't happen.

Personally, for any code I use in my/our own systems based on SO or "found on the internet", I usually add a comment pointing to the source. I do this for two reasons, firstly to provide context or remind myself where it came from, secondly to credit the author.

That said I do understand why SE/SO are trying to come up with a foolproof way of dealing with the legal status of code included in posts [0][1].

because its practically a long comment on the original. If it has to be platform agnostic with formatting, then that is why comments are allowed to have links to other sites.

Otherwise we really should all start writing response articles and post those instead of comments, because there are only positives yeah? 70 comments for this post alone, all articles so people can use their own variant of formatting languages or whatever
Why was SourceForge generally abandoned? Because it stopped caring for open source developers, for example by not hosting git repositories.

If Github appears to go down the same road, paying accounts will leave along with open source projects; they are managed by the same people, with the same concerns for quality and corporate attitude.
"Wikipedia is no banners at the top of the page"
buying a farm is a huge huge risk tho, isn't it? in a scenario where society truly collapse, at least, it makes you a prime target.

I'd like the other approach more: secret stash, going dark for a year, wait for tribes to stabilize the territory they control, emerge with some useful skill and bargain access/protection of a well armed/established tribe.
Stolen, the problematic app that lets you buy and sell people on Twitter
I can't think of any that come to mind. I've seen a lot that just do something different... but when I think of 'web 2.0' I think of re-designs that make things 'more beautiful' (pretty) but at the cost of actual functionality. Of course I recognize that many think differently than I do; it's possible that previously they had been given too many choices and thus couldn't understand the system.

As for re-designs, I think that it depends on the basis for decisions and effort spent in the re-design.

Linkpack makes use of some iOS8 APIs (it has a Share Extension, it uses the UIVibrancyEffect and UISearchController etc) that would increase the development time if we decided to support older versions. I understand the frustration but this was a decision we had to make in order to speed up the development. Plus iOS8+9 now make up the 94% of the install base according to Apple: https://developer.apple.com/support/app-store/.
In RAID6 you can find which of the different combinations shows a mismatch and which combination doesn't. Run through all combinations and find the one that shows no mismatch, the dropped drive is the one with the bad data, rewrite it and go on with your life.

This can only detect one bad drive, if you have two you are toasted.
A huge task? Sure. But product catalogs and shopping carts and payment processing are 90s tech. They could have re-implemented from scratch on AWS with the same graphics assets on the front end and cut over in a fraction of the time. Instead they are trying to force a square peg into a round hole and wondering why no matter hard they push it won't go.
I think the key issue is that, if an investment bank fails and takes all of its investors money with it, well that's kind of like a startup failing. Investors know the risk. But right now, if a bank fails due to its bad investments, it can take the money / deposits / savings of many, many people that did not take any risks with their money.
Wow, not really. If perf is fine who cares about the hypervisor. Regarding reboots, if they are using hyper-v they are probably on top ofServer Core which minimises patch surface and thus reboots.
I've actually looked at Reviewable multiple times for use within our team, but never decided to use it. From my usage of the demo, it feels complicated. There are a lot of controls on the screen, and I struggle to tell what exactly I'm looking at at any given time.

I also tried the demo, and was shocked to see that Reviewable had edited our PR descriptions to include a big "Review on Reviewable" badge. We currently make heavy use of PR descriptions in quite specific formats, and it felt like Reviewable was forcing itself upon us.

To be clear, I'm really glad someone is looking at this problem, and Reviewable looks like a step in the right direction. I'm just quite opinionated on code review and developer tools, and I feel like it could be much better.
I've done three things for emergency preparedness that are actually quite fun and I'd recommend to anyone:

1) Become a certified emergency medical responder. It's a one semester course you can take at your local community college. It's the first step to becoming an EMT if you want to keep going. You learn things including CPR, wound management, dealing with broken bones, heart attacks, car accidents, transporting patients, even emergency childbirth. I enjoyed the class immensely. Now I'm a lot less afraid of medical disasters because I have a plan and an impressive first aid kit, and I know how to use it.

2. Become an amature radio operator. As a technologist, it's fun to get in touch with my roots using older technology. I've been working on being able to operate using battery and solar panels, which has been a blast to learn about and experiment with. I can also operate portably while camping, bouncing waves off the atmosphere and back either towards the horizon to talk thousands of miles away, or straight up towards space and reflecting off the atmosphere back down to talk within a 300 mile range (this is called NVIS). Learning and practicing these skills is awesome fun.

3. Camping, and having the food water and equipment in hand to camp for several days. We have a few 7 gallon water tanks we use for camping which we keep full, in addition to our always evolving camping supplies. We take frequent camping trips.

Doing these things is educational, challenging, enriching and fun! I encourage everyone to do it.

It's also worth noting that you can get a ham radio for $40 that's higher power and will work at longer range than the FRS/GMRS radios. The FCC limits FRS radios to half a watt, and ham radios don't have that limit.
I think they will be more than fine once we figure out micropayments.

If only they would have put you on the case instead of Federal investigators, I'm sure all of these alleged crimes would have been proven to a legal standard, I suppose?

Business as usual? The banking sector has shed hundreds of thousands of jobs, paid billions in fines, faces increased scrutiny and the executives have been pilloried without crimes being proven.

I wish I could go back in time to 2001 when Hacker News was calling for the heads of VC firms and tech-stock CEOs for perpetuating a fraud on the people and causing a financial crash. But that didn't really happen; instead many people when to work for them.

Next time it goes dark in the night, look at the streets light in your city.

Whenever you live, if you live in America, Europe or Asia, there is already a big electrical infrastructure installed.

This lighting infrastructure goes unused by day or by night by using more efficient lights(LEDs) that need much less energy and could be controlled much better than old technology.

The thing is, it's not much fun living as though you were poor - cutting coupons, spending time working out which vegetable gives you the most nutrition per Kg, scrimping and saving. So for every extra $£€ you make, you can give yourself a short-term dopamine hit at the expense of long-term planning.

It's one of the reasons why, in the UK, we're moving to mandatory pension provision. Unless you take action, a fixed percentage of your wage will be placed into a pension scheme. As your wage rises, so will your long term savings.
