The main advantage is the monitoring/profiling tools, and in particular the awesome Java Flight Recorder. It doesn't make a difference in practice (assuming you don't want to pay for JFR, though many would), as JFR is free for use only in a development environment and not in production.
So what is an on-premise cloud?
S. Korean legislators fillibuster counter-terrorism bill for 9 consecutive days
And what watches the watchmen?

The microservices trend is great but this sort of monitoring starts to fall apart when you horizontally scale for HA. In this case we separate out our monitoring by doing synthetic requests at the service level, and then very specific health checking at the "instance" level (really containers now). Instance level health checks will ensure connectivity to outside dependencies, databases, filesystems etc. The trick is to know when a failure is a localized failure or a widespread failure. No sense in taking out all of the instances if they all can't talk to the DB.

Also, I'm not a Go developer but is this idiomatic?
Thanks! And yes absolutely, we are building our Android app right now (I'm the Android developer actually). If you send an email to android@thesunshine.co I'll add you to the Beta list!

yeah virtually everyone of my comments criticizing the chinese government has been drive by downvoted so I don't doubt it.

The broken english and angry comments are a dead giveaway lol.
Of course, one can make the same argument about go. As I understand it computers are quite good at the endgame.
Hi Hacker News! We've been working hard on Spotbot for the past couple months and are looking forward to your feedback on what we've built. @mgc and I will be around all day to answer any questions.
You're right that there was a CFAA claim, but there wasn't one made against us.
I seem to be asking this a lot lately, but what's with the downvotes? I was asked an honest, polite question, and I answered it honestly and politely. Is this knee-jerk hate because I mentioned Marx, or what?
Are people so out of touch with their economic situation that they are unable to save on their own? Really not a fan of this, just another attack vector/demographic information gathering waste of cpu cycles.
Fair points. Thanks for pointing this out. I used "random" to really mean "not-top-pros." Moves suggested by experts being voted on by a large sum of people are kind of similar to how democracy and capitalism work.
I didn't understand the point of the article, poorly-structured without informing the reader of recent legislation/decisions and how it affected them.
According to this Stackoverflow answer the aircraft is mostly C/C++, no wonder they're having so many issues:

Most of the emergency training that jet pilots go through are system failures -- engine failures, fires, and whatnot. Also, a stall in a sim is a very different experience than a stall in a real plane because in the back of your mind you know that your life is not on the line in a sim. That emotional factor can make a big difference when you have to recover from an unintended stall in a real airplane.
This article did a great job. It itself did everything that drives the support behind Trump.

There is in my mind only one candidate who stands a chance at this point in beating Trump in a national campaign: Bernie Sanders.

This is because Sanders understands something that none of the other politicians do. If you call Trump racist, sexist, homophobic, or whatever he will only grow stronger. You need to oppose him on his issues and not from a position of authority.

Trump gains his appeal from being a genuinely good entertainer, having recovered from many bankruptcies, how he speaks to his supporter, and his anti-establishment nature. He presents himself, and also acts as if, he is just the average guy even going so far as to call people up to the stage. This strengthens his presentation that he is not a "bought" candidate.

When someone from the establishment criticizes him, they validate all of his claims. He is the anti-establishment character: the only people who can push against him are people who aren't part of the establishment.

Remember that all press, is good press.

If you stick to the issues, don't let him get any sound bytes in, and stop talking about how evil he is 24/7 then he will no longer have any power in the race.

Driving is dangerous, and if it takes "stacking the odds considerably in your favor" to make $THING only as dangerous as driving, I think it's safe bet that $THING is a pretty dangerous activity.

I'm actively working toward my PPL now but let's not pretend it's a safe venture by any means. You're strapping yourself onto a single lawn-mower engine that was build in the 60's that someone bought for $20,000 five years ago.
Isn't it kind of interesting that Google is pushing the lead for these projects? It reminds me when IBM took on the gusto of developing Chess AI when they had strong technical superiority. It's almost as if Google is taking the mantle from IBM to develop these renaissance projects.

> Speech recognition and search API

I've been wanting to make something like this for a while. Really nice product you have!

I think this kind of service will really take off in the future. Imagine having an app that constantly records everything and allows you to search it later. Questions like "What did James tell me last November about traveling to Europe?". It would also eliminate hearsay, since you would no longer have to trust one person's word against another — you could simply search the transcript of that moment in the past. In the very long run, I almost wonder if such a tool would make lying obsolete.
Clean Coders: https://cleancoders.com/

We have videos on how to apply clean coding principles. I'm really hopeful that every coder learns these principles and how to apply them, because when more people write clean code, everyone benefits. Plus Bob is just hilarious. I'm really enjoying working on it because it's a pure-Clojure backend. We have in only 80 lines of code a Clojure -> CSS generator that replaced Sass and Less for us. Stuff like that just makes me really love this job.
FWIW, commercial airliners are actually incredibly safe. The most dangerous part of flying on a commercial flight is driving to and from the airport.
Of course, the same applies to driving. Take out DUIs, excessive speeding, texting, etc. and the accident rate associated with driving goes way down as well.

Composer's Sketchpad — http://composerssketchpad.com

It's basically an iPad sequencer with the UI of a drawing app. You're given a canvas that can be panned and zoomed like any scroll view, with a grid indicating time on the horizontal axis and pitch on the vertical axis. You draw notes with your finger, and although you can snap to the grid like in most sequencers, you can also choose to start your notes at any point and bend them to any pitch. This makes it simple to experiment with things like guitar solos and complex rhythms. Usability was my primary goal through and through: I wanted almost anyone to be able to pick up my app and start making music in an instant. In a way, I see it as a kind of modern take on sheet music!

More about the design here: http://beta-blog.archagon.net/2016/02/05/composers-sketchpad...

The app is out but I still have a ton of features I want to add, including iPhone support.
Really nice! Good luck to you guys.
at this point, you have to ask that specific question directly to either the team, the leader, or management and ask them why they don't look at the comments.
Super excited to try this — as an early start-up (and the founder in charge of UI), I KNOW our site has UI issues but I don't have the time to do full inspections.

It also looks like they later mitigated it as technology improved:

It seems like the author was in this thread.

But you're right, re-posted my comment in a less aggressive form on the post itself.
I was thinking about this a lot, how could you protect the integrity of you content and at the same time keep up quality but still I got as far as introducing weight to the votes, and scale up how much somebody's vote means based on their karma. I don't think that HN does that, and also not sure it would fix this problem. We need probably some model to verify. Curious if anybody has a good idea.

Anti tracking and ad blocking are not the same thing. I don't want to see ads period, not just tell the websites to not track my preferences so they can gauge what ads to show.
Pretty cool. The issue with ultra sonic transmission is attenuation destroys the signal.
Spotify is one datapoint, and I hate to be cynical, but was probably paid off (in free / drastically reduced priced cloud services ala Netflix on AWS) by Google to write all of that.

Even if not, they are such a large well known name that they probably got special treatment. The real proof in the pudding is the support that the 99% get, not the special case 1%.
I think it's more metaphor than leaky abstraction in this case, except to the extent that metaphor is mapping an abstraction of a domain we are trying to understand to an abstraction of one we are better able to understand.
While steam is a good platform to sell on, I think a lot of people here will agree that selling a DRM free version on sites like GOG.com would be awesome especially if you can support Linux.

No, funding should not necessarily be used to enable faster growth. It can also be used for development, for refining product/market fit, etc.

A lot of businesses would never be able to survive their early years without outside funding.

Now, do a lot of flimsy startups feel entitled to funding? Yes. That is a problem.
I don't understand, why are people downvoting comments like yours without any explanation for those without the background on this :\
"...I consider myself a logical person who understands the safety of flying, the statistics and the likelihood of events..."

They know. Sometimes that knowledge just doesn't help.
You'd be surprised how much safety critical software is written in C and C++.
Injectivejs: A di library resulted from my side project
I wrote code every day for 1,000 days
I'm agreeing with you because the alternative would make deployment processes of snapshotting built images for faster startup time against the law. If you couldn't use AMIs in AWS because the Oracle JRE is installed but instead are forced to install at launch time then that makes Oracle largely irrelevant to use in the cloud - no one wants to limit their startup time by a multiple minutes to download and install for a scaling event (and barring any network issues on their servers if hosting the installer package is seen as distribution as well). I haven't heard of any issues with moving around your own internally built virtual images with Oracle Java if you have accepted the licensing agreement for during the build and snapshot process, and using docker seems no different.
really cool idea

A turing complete program could, by definition, generate any other turing complete program.

In theory, you can statically analyse any program to prove that it doesn't contain malicious code (for some definition of malicious). But if a program is turing complete, you cannot predict all of its possible outputs and therefore, cannot rule out the possibility of a malicious output.

The halting problem is what prevents you doing the analysis, not what introduces the possibility of maliciousness.
Prelude - https://www.getprelude.net/

A progressive web app for improving music sight reading skills. (Also perfect pitch identification ability.)

I wasn't happy with my sight reading speed, so I've been building this to help myself practice. Some distinguishing features:

- Web MIDI, to connect to a MIDI keyboard you can use to "answer" the practice questions (works in Chrome for Android or Desktop)

- Web App Manifest, to allow adding to your home screen / desktop and getting a native app feel

- Service Worker (via sw-precache), for offline access (and cache-first loading when online, so it always loads fast)

- Web Audio, to synthesize pitches

- VexFlow, for rendering sheet music to SVG

Built with React, Babel, Webpack; hosted on GitHub Pages. Source: https://github.com/BHSPitMonkey/Prelude

How many fighter plane flights last longer than 8 hours? It's a mean time after all, it could simply be a reflection of the length of the sortie.
We have come to accept massive incompetence by the financial industry as the norm: There are the systemic failures every ~10 years (S&L's in the 80s, LTCM in the 90s, the Great Recession in 2008), incredible levels of fraud (and that's only what was detected), computerized heists costing tens of millions of dollars or more, money laundering, etc.

The industry can't be trusted and needs to be cleaned up and properly regulated. Their self-image as brilliant people who are 'masters of the universe' is remarkable.
Flux-Mithril

The Flux overview video seemed convincing. It's a web app architecture that lets you ask "How did my app get into this state?" and always have a straightforward path to an answer. It turns out Mithril fits the architecture as well or better than React does, and for me mobile-friendliness is important so I really like Mithril's size.

My Hello World Flux-Mithril app's source is at https://github.com/brlewis/brlewis.github.io/blob/master/201...
Do you use any open source tools for the speech recognition?
Interesting - I will definitely look into that. I remember having no fear of flying the first time I flew (when I was like 7 or 8), but I remember looking at my mom during takeoff, white-knuckling the armrest. I've also foolishly done a lot of research over the years on airline disasters, but I think from there on out something in my mind switched from this is fun and interesting to this does not feel safe.

>Thirty-eight years later, we still try to fix late programs by adding people.

How true.

>Brooks wrote the seminal, magnificent book on project management but he's still a voice, crying in the wilderness.

But he's not the only voice any more. I'm sure there are some others, but one I know of is Rich Hickey. Okay, not for the exact same topic as Brooks, but a closely related one, IMO. Coincidentally, I had blogged about a video of him talking at a Clojure meet just yesterday (after watching it for the second time in some months, because I found it good). The topic is not Clojure, it's what he calls (jokingly) Hammock-Driven Development; IOW, thinking about, and analyzing enough, and deeply enough, your work [1], up front, because that is the better way and actually saves costs over the project lifetime (proven by studies, such as Capers Jones [2] et al). Here's the blog post, with a link to the video:

http://jugad2.blogspot.in/2016/03/tech-video-rich-hickey-ham...

or you can watch the video directly here:

[1] And what he recommends is not the waterfall model or UML, BTW. In fact, he explicitly mentions and does not recommend them. But goes on to say, don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. See the video to get the rest.

Edit: I like this Capers Jones quote:

"High-quality software is not expensive. High-quality software is faster and cheaper to build and maintain than low-quality software, from initial development all the way through total cost of ownership."[4]
Scat!: https://getsc.at
Issue tracking utility for Slack.

Still a work in progress but with Scat you will be able to use Slack commands to create and manage issues. The command will respond with a bot to list out issues based on the initial prompt. The goal is to have nearly everything related to an issue built into Slack commands and off load some of the editing to a lightweight web UI.

I'm sure something like this already exists but it has been a blast so far playing around with the Slack API.
