Ah, yikes! Good point. One has to factor in not only the trading fees but the potential fees incurred in preparing ones taxes (or having them prepared by a third-party as many in the US usually do -- I wouldn't even want to know what my tax guy would charge for that kind of volume!)
A coworker showed me Akka Streams recently.
It allows you to overcome the impedence mismatch between threadpools processing jobs at different speeds where one task feeds into another.
Could be a neat way to join up the i/o bound tasks to the cpu bound tasks.

It's not trading with China that's resulted in Hong Kong's success, but that they were the exclusive intermediary for trade with China for a very long time. North Korea doesn't trade with the West so there's no point in comparing them. There was also a large influx of fortune and human capital that came out of China after the war.

Singapore is more a gateway with Southeast Asia, which certainly has provided it with a great deal of opportunity also, but not nearly to the same extent. I think it would be fair to say to that much of their success is owing to their policy, on a number of fronts.

I also do not mean to say anything about whether Hong Kong has good policy or not. I'm just saying that they would have still been successful regardless, so long as it didn't preclude their role as a trade intermediary. So, even if you were to perfectly recreate all of Hong Kong's policy, you should not expect to get anywhere near the same results. What's generally attributed to the 'genius' of Hong Kong would be much more aptly attributed to dumb luck.
W3 Total Cache generally works fine. I use it with memcached and PHP's new built-in caching module (replacement for APC) and get my site blitzed from time to time due to major mentions in the media with few problems. SSD on Digital Ocean probably helps with disk caching too.

I use Apache but falcolas' point of nginx (often in combination with Varnish and potentially hhvm; I've used this combo before with great success) is worth considering as well.

No replacement for good configuration of your database (try MySQLtuner.pl if you use MySQL/MariaDB) of course.
It's a shame too because rust used to have a repl back in the day. I'm sure they had reasons to get rid of it, but it's still a shame. I understand there's some sort of initiative to write another one though, but I don't know what its status is.
Wow this letter is fascinating. It is really well written to educate people about policies around which they could rally. I wonder how many Chinese have read this. Probably not much will come of it but it is cool to see some people sacrificing themselves to educate the population. I think Chinese are, on balance, in a greater state of fear / hypochondria than even Americans. They can't even protest. Who knows though, maybe we will live to see free speech in China. That would be nuts.

Not really a pale imitation, works just as well. The async and await keywords could be shorter. Toffeescript and Livescript are more concise than the new ECMAScript with their operators for async but it's just a little more text to read.
Do consumers all have little usb smartcard things so they can use the smartcard to make online purchases? or does this mostly just make 'card present' transactions that much safer?
I am really wondering why you are pushing so hard against dashcams. Dashcams (along with bodycams) are making corruption in the justice system much harder to pull off. You can find a ton of videos on YouTube exposing corruption in law enforcement around the world, including the United States. This is not mass surveillance! This is a personal record of travel that isn't vacuumed up into the warrantless surveillance machine and twisted to serve an evil purpose (like Verizon's call record database, among many others). Your argument -- that your video could be subpoenaed and you might have to explain why you were driving like a jackass -- is weak to the point that I am beginning to suspect an ulterior motive. Why are you pushing so hard against dashcams?
> On the other hand, I don't find myself missing higher-kinded types much...

I don't find myself missing modules that much for precisely the inverse reason.

> If Standard ML had first-class modules, then modules and records could also be considered redundant.

If Haskell+Backpack had first class packages/modules, then packages/modules and type classes could also be considered redundant.

This is the duality I am trying to get it :). Looking each language alone, the features are "somewhat orthogonal". But in the context of the entire design space, the lack of unification comes off as redundancy.

OOP is fine for mobile platforms, which also have plenty of power to run the VM unless your app is a FPS or something along those lines. To the extent that mobile apps are slow they're usually slow because they're waiting for a server somewhere to respond or the code is just poorly written.

What you need is minimal 1 machine with a webserver that can host many virtual hosts under 1 or more IP numbers.
On that host you run a database server of some kind, most used is MySQL (which can run many concurrent databases).
Then each blog will run in a virtual host with a database connection to it's own database.
If you use hppts, you need a wildcard ssl certificate that can accommodate all virtual hosts.

This model can be up-scaled to separate machines for the webserver and database server, or even N number of machines running the webserver and N machines running the database server all behind a loadbalancer.
All this even under different IP addresses, or usage of CDN services.

In theory you can upscale this the size of Google services if you have deep pockets.

Short answer, it's not the open source package but the infrastructure behind it, that defines the scale (of course efficient source code will help run things smoother).
Exactly! Because that is what our system incentivizes! Those law enforcement and intelligence organizations have grotesquely enormous budgets and let's face it: They are shit-awful at stopping legitimate threats. That means they need to offset that terrible lack of efficiency with some number of "busts", even if they involve people that otherwise wouldn't be "dealers" or "terrorists" without the police egging them on. There is a huge incentive to go out and find dealers and terrorists, even in places where there actually aren't any.

I've been downhill skiing most of my life and in all that time on the slopes I've never once sustained an injury as severe as getting punched in the face.

You could very easily get hurt more in a minute of boxing than in a lifetime of skiing. It seems crazy to me too to state that the former is less dangerous than the latter. The statistics bear it out, too.
They need probable cause to do that in most places. Also, there's nothing stopping you from quickly dismounting it before you pull over and shoving it under the seat, saying you don't have it if asked what the dangling wire is, and refuse to consent to a search if the officer doesn't believe you. If your car is forcibly searched anyway, it will almost surely be inadmissible, and might even help your whole charge get thrown out.
Shut downs are pretty rare but do happen. Biggest mass shutdown I've heard of was with a unlimited 5% cash back card at drugstores, grocery stores, and gas stations. People would buy $100k+ a month in visa gift cards at CVS and net $4-5k a month in tax free cash back.

3D Secure basically redirects you to a webpage run by a third party (usually your bank) to enter additional details, like a seperate password.

I find it much more annoying. My New Zealand (.co.nz) bank redirects me to a .co.uk domain with their logo (!!), where it doesn't even prompt me for any additional details, just forwards back to the original merchant.
Nothing wrong with having a camera to record when you are being pulled over, having a device that constantly records everything and is pretty much turned on by default is disadvantageous to both your privacy and your interests.

I've also said that I personally would recommend a dash cam which records the last 5 min and no audio, this should be enough as a deterrent and will allow you to provide any evidence if required while not keeping anything on the record that could damage you.

And please do not compare dashcams to bodycams, because ?I'm pretty sure you would not want to live in a world where everyone is wearing a bodycam that is recording 24/7, or even suggest people to walk on the street while recording everything with their phones.

When you make a record of anything you should be aware that what ever you document can be used against you, or against another party at any time and that your agency to maintain the privacy of that record is limited both from a legal and practical point of view.
Don't be intimidated. I've got 30 years of being in the business of software development, telecoms, networking etc under my belt and every day there's still something new to learn, sometimes too many new things :) Also don't be frightened to ask about things you don't understand, I find the folks around here are generally quite an affable bunch.
"Fraud is around 1% of all credit card transactions"

No, card fraud rates are in the 5-20 basis point range (0.05%-0.2%).
I was pretty clear that I am referencing only cases when a vehicular accident has occurred in that case they have all the probable cause they need.

BTW if the officer doesn't believe you it could lead to a probable cause, please do not base your strategy on having to give a false statement to a law enforcement agent.
the operator could see on a screen if the tickets were instant winners. If tickets were not winners, the operator could cancel the sale before the tickets printed.

Wow, looks like someone screwed up big time. Why the hell would you ever allow someone to see whether or not it was a winning ticket before printing it? That's asking for abuse.
I've read that bare knucke boxing has lower death rates compared to traditional boxing due to the addition of gloves.

FORCE = MASS X ACCELERATION.

The extra mass is something the skull and brain cannot take. Also, the protection of the weapon (hands) assures fights go on linger than in bare knucke boxing. There is conflicting evidence however.
The problem with extrapolating like you just did is that Kubernetes has not been in use at Google for a decade, and it is not related to the container infrastructure at Google. When you are evaluating Kubernetes it's important to know that no major project at Google has used Kubernetes for anything, ever. Kubernetes is a weird project where Google is trying to give the public a large-scale container infrastructure, but not _their_ large-scale container infrastructure.

I have no Irish ancestry that I know of. I wasn't moved by this article at all. However, I did greatly resonate with this comment below the article.

"The Republic guarantees religious and civil liberty, equal rights and equal opportunities to all its citizens, and declares its resolve to pursue the happiness and prosperity of the whole nation and all of its parts, cherishing all of the children of the nation equally”

It's interesting that the concepts of equal rights and equal opportunity no longer exist. The last 5 or so years have seen a great shift to Political Correctness and gender based quotas (eg. Code.org). This is achieved through reverse discrimination (which is code for blatant sexism).

I'm not actually sure why the world should recognise this day among many other significant historical events. Australians remember the Eureka Stockade but I would not expect the world to show much interest.

Whether or not the Irish should care is another matter. I don't know enough about Irish culture to compare this to significant events like the great potato famine or The Troubles (Catholics vs Protestants), but I can see why it isn't getting much attention.
Yeah, business has been corrupt since before any of us were born. I worked at a US company that reached an agreement with a foreign government to provide all their systems for their entire government. They were dumping Microsoft, and they were going to move to open source provided by us. It was a huge deal.

So Bill Gates got on a plane and met with the country's leaders. Bill explained to them that since they were buying less product then the country would be considered a lower priority to Microsoft - and shipments of all Microsoft products to the country would be significantly delayed - even for all their non-government businesses. Of course, they couldn't let their businesses be put at such a competitive disadvantage. So the country was extorted to adopt Microsoft products.

The country couldn't say any of this publicly - fearing Microsoft reprisals - but they explained this to us in a private meeting.

People who think that the free market is really free are just naive.
In the case of Kubernetes, I think Google's motivation is really simple: AWS has a huge lead but it is also a proprietary platform.

If they can commoditize the platform from underneath Amazon, they believe they can build out better/faster/cheaper cloud infrastructure.

What is the point of a library if "plebeians" cannot access its contents?

1.5 years ago, in 2014, they received a copy of an unreleased PSP game, titled Duke Nukem Critical Mass: https://blogs.loc.gov/digitalpreservation/2014/08/dukes-lega...

Reading the blog post, it seems they are not competent enough to actually run it, and the best they could do was to open the main executable (BOOT.BIN, the decrypted version) in a hex editor. Some commenters even tried to help them run it, of course without any reply. 1.5 years later, the files are still not available to download, and that disk is basically rotting away somewhere in the "library".

Please, if you are a game developer, and care about game preservation, don't submit your games to that library. Instead, upload them anonymously to a torrent tracker of your choice. The internet will do the rest.

copyright laws suck.
There is no need for the JVM abstraction anymore, since the multiple architectures of the 90s such as Sun SPARC, SGI, Mips, PowerPC, X86, DEC Alpha, AS/400, have been pared back basically to two. Moreover, the more modern abstraction is the LLVM, which is targeted at the right level - compiler writers - without saddling the programmers and users with a bloated code translation layer that they must cart around everywhere they go. The JVM does nothing for a programmer, abstraction wise, that makes Java easier than, for example, Golang.
It's a fake story.

I don't think there is simply one cause that makes some people able to handle pressure better than others, nor is this unique to academia. Life can be extremely challenging and stressful, but ultimately it's up to the individual to choose how to spend his time. If academia is so stressful you think you may end your life, it may be time to find another field.
They still do, at least here in Seattle.
Some improvement did come with age. Perspective is amazingly helpful.

Along the way though I was able to find things that helped very noticeably. Some were physical, some were mind related, some were social, etc...

Bits and pieces that when put together did make a difference. Learning to take care of myself and remember to continue doing those things that were healthy for me has probably been a benefit of age as well.

The pieces of my puzzle: Therapy, hypnotherapy, dance (Argentine Tango), exercise, sleep, meditation, hydration, light levels, type of work, healthy relationships.

This was huge:
Someone pointed out how I loved myself enough to be willing to destroy myself with such violence. Quite a shift in perspective! The realization of that love for self helped me switch to an amazingly hopeful resourceful place. The shift is difficult to describe though very real for me.

EDIT: Added to the puzzle pieces list.

> I don't find myself missing modules that much for precisely the inverse reason.

The “tiny” detail is that ML modules do much more than what type classes do: they allow you to define abstract types whose representation is invisible to the rest of the program, without ugly hacks like `newtype`-wrapping the internal representation.

> If Haskell+Backpack had first class packages/modules

Packages and modules are completely different things. A package is a unit of distribution, whereas a module is a unit of encapsulation. Even within a single program that's only distributed as a whole, you may want different components to hide their internals from each other.

> This is the duality I am trying to get it

There is no duality between modules and type classes, because, while modules can do everything type classes do (and more), the converse does not hold.
Hadoop is moving the way Linux did - fast and with a large number of companies pushing it together. As big as Google is, it wouldn't be able to dominate Linux, just as it can't now dominate Hadoop. My interpretation of the author is that it would have been better for Google to have something they can control the development of, rather than have somebody outside the tent pushing it in ways that don't suit them. Look at IBM and Spark. They see a long term threat/opportunity and moved quickly to negate it.
It's the one reason I positively hate all the eye candy and executable pages on the web. Accessibility went right out the window at some point, but it was actually a cornerstone of the web that the reader should determine what a page should look (or sound) like.

Now, you could of course craft a page that would still work well on screen readers and that at the same time does the whole dog-and-pony show on more capable browsers. But in practice that doesn't really happen.

Many pages which are in fact just text pages once rendered simply won't render or will render very badly with javascript off.
Does it apply to the other co-founders as well? If not, then you're not on equal footing.
The point of boxing gloves is to protect your hands, not your opponent's brain. Hands aren't meant for punching, and repeatedly smacking them with great force into the hard skull of your opponent can easily damage them.

I suspect bare knuckle boxing is less satisfying (and thus less popular) because fights can end merely because one person can no longer effectively attack, rather than when one person is conclusively defeated by being knocked out. The KO is always the most widely satisfying finish in boxing and MMA.
Do you have a source for that? I mostly hear about numbers around what your parent comments gives, or a bit over.
Agreed. I'll ping when ready :)
huh. yeah, there's a 'verified by visa' thing that America has that is similar... I think it does some statistical something something. It sure looks a lot weaker than a public key transaction where the key never leaves the card. The 'verified by visa' site itself looks pretty fishy.

In theory, a chip and pin solution where the user owns the reader is more secure than a transaction in the store where the vendor owns the reader. but, I guess that's too expensive and inconvenient or something.
Modula, Oberon, Ada... All have been used to implement GC's and OS's.
I tend to agree. It's another case of - here is an API to access our products so you can play around with it. The scalable, powerful scheduler, however is not included. There are no other batteries that fit it, apart from GCE.
Kind of like Blaze and TensorFlow - nice and shiny, but hollow (missing the good distributed filling).
The rest of the world doesn't matter. If there is sufficient demand for 4K video and faster connection speeds, there will eventually be a product for them.

That can't possibly be a legal contract. There are laws protecting people from fraud. Are you saying that the card company could perform neglectful or fraudulent behavior but not expose itself to suit? That would be laughed out of a traffic court.
It is likely that they are processing a risk score for your transaction, based on browser fingerprint, referer, ip, time of day and so on. That is, the "bounce" may not be entirely useless.

If the risk score exceeds a certain threshold then they can then require additional security. While this may seem very weak, in practice a lot of fraud has pretty obvious signatures.

This is one of the best book reviews I have ever read. Thank you for sharing it.

*edit: I should say, that the review alone succeeds in casting Burke in an entirely new light for me. Traditionally he speaks as the voice of the conservative, but here the author reveals that he is in fact speaking not to keep the old ways, but to preserve the new against the chaos of the Wars of Religion, his fear is that the French Revolution (and company) would plunge Europe back into the intolerance and hatred of the previous century (which is still by many counts the bloodiest in all of western history). It would be easy to read his works as anti-progress, if it weren't for the fact that (by this author's interpretation) Burke had to respond to those who saw 'progress' as a reversion to the death and destruction of the 30 years war.
I've experienced this bug in Python 2 using "pool.map" and "pool.apply", but KeyboardInterrupt does work if you're waiting for a finite amount of time. So as a workaround you can use "result = pool.map_async(...); result.get(sys.maxint)". A little hacky but functional.

When 3dsecure just redirects it means the bank decided to trust the transaction based in something. For instance for me it skips it for some known vendors and transactions.
