What does that tell us? That there is a lot of legacy perl & php code around that has to be maintained? I personally used to like lisp (scheme actually) and ruby but I would never use them (or another dynamically typed language) again. Never! I'll take another look at common lisp as a (scripting) language when optional static typing is available, standardized, and commonly used. And no, typed clojure and (unfortunately also) typed racket aren't viable alternatives.
... however, my h2o servers get a lower score with Qualys SSL Labs in their default configuration than Nginx does. This is due to the fact that h2o seems to support ciphers per default that are considered less secure (according to Qualys SSL Labs while testing servers using h2o).
Doesn't really work with nginx though, a webserver that it still extremely fast and simple.
I did not say anything about morals. I'm not superior to you. I'm just stating my opinion. Choose to do as you wish.

If people use downvotes to show disagreement, than HN is sunk. No-one likes downvotes, and it will create a community where people only post those comments that they think everyone will agree with.
Instead, downvotes should only be sed to highlight comments that should never have been made.
It is a very, very fancy to do list though.

To be honest, it was more usable when it was just released. The simplicity was one of the strong points.
Hey, let me be the first to say welcome back to the land of 10,000 traffic cones. The fun is just getting started. Hopefully you'll stay clear of the impending traffic mess that is the west burbs as of, according to MnDOT... 6 hours ago.

Thanks again for our call in December :)

Wow, I kinda thought this was me today. I was doing some Elixir at work; Atom seems to have the best Elixir support currently. I think I was chalking it up to running in a VM, but I run VS Code in the same VM with no lag issues. Hopefully the Elixir plugins will be brought across to VS Code soon-ish.

Depression is not a symptom. It is the inability of neurons to recover from stress -- ever. I know, I know, it's a novel thought -- to actually pay attention to the state of the art in depression research, but, what'evs. Gregg's a psychologist, so he doesn't have to care about that neuroscience sciencey weirdness.
There was an interesting article few days ago on HN:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11358931

In the article, there was a quote:
Many people with severe anxiety and/or depression are also anti-authoritarians. Often a major pain of their lives that fuels their anxiety and/or depression is fear that their contempt for illegitimate authorities will cause them to be financially and socially marginalized; but they fear that compliance with such illegitimate authorities will cause them existential death.

It seems to me, sometimes, being a member of society (having these societal needs met) can be quite tricky.

I think he's dated way less badly than Asimov has. Even early Clarke is still quite readable; _The City and the Stars_ and _Rendezvous with Rama_ are still quite wonderful, but I've always had a soft spot for his juvenilia --- _Dolphin Island_ is half a semiautographical memoir of snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef, and half a quiet coming-of-age story.

He had a talent for portraying a kind of quiet, competent person who's deeply unfashionable in modern literature because these days we think that stories are built on top of character conflict; Clarke's characters didn't get into arguments much. But there was always more to them than meets the eye. I agree with you about the subtlety.

I just wish he hadn't met Gentry Lee...
Integrations are a pretty big part of Slack.

I agree that IFTTT is only its integrations, and them maintaining certain channels is definitely in its interests. But on the flip-side, IFTTT is an integration multiplier for any pipe.

So you can make the pitch that your startup should write an IFTTT integration, because that really gets you 100 integrations (the truth is a bit more delicate of course).

Another advantage is someone asks you "why isn't X inside IFTTT?" You can now actually fix the problem.

I definitely understand repositioning to "IFTTT provides pipes, but you provide the data." It's much more scalable (helping to ensure that it'll be around for a while) and offers advantages on both side of the fence. 100 companies maintaining 1 integration is more straightforward than 1 company maintaining 100 integrations. And that means IFTTT can concentrate on making the pipes (the real value-add, because "consume this webhook" isn't interesting in isolation).

Why they didn't do this and work for a way for their legacy (if unmaintained) channels to keep on working is a mystery to me though....
Nice reading. Love the style. There was a typo (wok-flow) that I stared at a bit to make sure it wasn't intentional, though. :)
It's certainly not entirely the governments fault. Airlines need to be strongly regulated with good reason and pretending that they don't lobby and campaign to increase regulation that acts as a barrier to entry is myopic at best.
>Climbing is a hobby for a rich guy from Google. Maybe it's even spiritual. But for Sherpas it's like plumbing or driving a taxi. They do it because it provides resources they can use to support their families.

There is so much wrong in this statement. Climbing is for everyone, and that includes a rich guy from google and Sherpas. The mountains are the spiritual homeplace for Sherpas, and for climbers. Sure, guides on Everest, deserve far more protection in working conditions but the Sherpa summiteers of Everest I have met, are also incredibly proud of their achievements. Ideally Everest, can provide the opportunity of bringing the west and Asia together in mutual benefit, just like Sherpa Tenzing Norgay and Edmund hilary did.

Most people don't connect unpatched devices as easy pickings for fraud and abuse.

I was at the mechanic the other day, and this loud-mouthed boor bragged about never doing updates. The kind of guy whom would surf for porn on iOS 6 Mobile Safari and wonder why his contacts complain about X-rated spam.

For users like that, Apple has to just force people to update without their permission some number of years out because they won't do so willingly. Maybe enterprise-provisioned should have a greater exclusion, but not much more.

I would say that there's impedance mismatch between GKE pricing and unclear requirements, how much resources in what structure you will need.

I was looking at the Kubernetes tutorials and couldn't even start to figure out, how much would it cost to run them. (Well, I didn't try too hard, it wasn't that important.)
I don't really use version control for text because it is often pointless (how helpful are one or two commits when I will never touch the text again after getting graded). And yet I still use More tradition text ediots for that (WYSIWYG editors can get really annoying). Though i personal vim over atom but that is not the point. The point is that undoing things is really important.

I've also often been in a position where I do big commits that contain about 200 lines of code and messed up by using replace/etc in the wrong way

> Why do the EU and US dislike Assad?

It's a long and old (decades!) story, per US embassy cables published by WikiLeaks. The news story:

The US ambassador 2006 leaked cable itself:

https://wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/06DAMASCUS5399_a.html

So it's not by accident that Chelsea Manning was treated as he was for leaking these cables. And that Assange still can't leave the embassy in London.

I have a close family member that suffers from treatment-resistant rapid cycling depression. Basically, throughout the year, she cycles from hypomania to normal to depression. And there's no real/consistent trigger for these episodes. There's a history of bipolar disorder in the family, so clearly it's genetic.
Trickle-down economics fantasy doesn't work because self-interest results in trickle-up.

One issue really is that there is an apparent lack of valuable, human-doable work to go around because of automation and a highly-connected, globalized world.

Zillions of us are basically working partial shit jobs because either employers don't want to pay benefits or there's no need (low demand/oversupply) for more skilled workers, but the university machine keeps cranking out overqualified people and plunging them into desperation of debt. Many times more entrepreneurs and support thereof are needed to create some decent jobs, because human ingenuity and capability is being left to rot in a fry cooker. (Edit: Investing/mentoring/etc. are hard-to-scale activities except perhaps socially, but they need to happen to utilize more people overall which can be paid more individually and could be where most wealth is created... not as many giant businesses but comfortable cash machines.)
Project Divinity [pdf]
Protobuf is the Google standard, used by basically every single server at Google for the last 15 years. They have built an internal ecosystem of tools around the format. For a Google project to use something different would be weird and would face lots of internal push-back, for good reasons.

Even though FlatBuffers is technically from Google, it's from a sub-team of Android working on tools aimed at Android games. The idea was that you'd store your assets in this format. IIRC the initial release didn't do bounds checking so was totally vulnerable to malicious input (but it wasn't intended for such use cases anyhow). I doubt it is widely used on Google's servers.

Cap'n Proto is not from Google and there's simply no way they'd choose to use it. To be fair, its support for languages other than C++ remains weak, largely because Sandstorm.io doesn't currently have the resources to build it out.

FWIW the ability to read a single field from a message is less important in networking situations because sending/receiving the message is already O(n) and the messages are small-ish, so parsing in O(n) is not a huge deal. Random-access parsing really shines when the input is a massive file on disk.

(I'm the author of Cap'n Proto and also of Protobuf v2 (the first version Google open sourced).)

Apple already suspects that this is happening
Everyone likes to think they've had depression. It's the human struggle -- only it's not. It is the inability for neurons to recover from stress. Most people are able to recover. People with depression are not. Everyone who is a human being, who has gone through grief, may entertain the idea they've had depression, and may follow this thread, but very few both to pay attention to the state of the art. Instead people fall back to high school level psychology. Amazing how psychologists, too, are somehow exempt from paying attention to the state of neuroscience. Psychology is to neuroscience what philosophy is to physics. Only psychology has done a lot more damage. Nice to see that meta study after meta study is slow debunking all those years of phony studies. Meanwhile they wine and rage and refuse to go back to university, and instead take to the blogs and snake oil. It makes me sick.

> In Australia, which has IRV, it's not clear to me there's much difference. Candidates are still elected to single-member constituencies, and we still get a two-party system little different from the US.

How long has Australia had IRV? I don't think it's a magic solution on its own. But I do think it allows voters to more clearly express their wishes without playing as many games wondering what the rest of the voter base will do. That's not democracy.

Anyway, IRV does not guarantee your favorite will win and it only gives different results in certain situations, such as close elections. Maybe Australia hasn't had the right circumstances come up yet. There are still a lot of barriers to becoming a presidential candidate, and many good people just don't want that job, like Biden. I'm sure that's true at other levels of government too. I know I would not like to be in a room arguing for gay marriage against some Christians. Or discussing budget for things I don't understand. Or any other number of boring things. And at the end of your term, if you aren't reelected, there's a good chance many people don't like you. Public office isn't glorious while you're there. It's only glorious after you're long dead, and even then you probably had to do something hugely important to be praised.

> Do you think IRV alone helps? What exactly do you propose?

A good government is made up of active voters. I propose making good use of your voice through the internet, in person, and on the phone and in letters to your representatives. Inspire others to do so, keeping the focus on supporting issues you care about, and less so much about people or particular candidates. Share facts. Don't try to brainwash your fellow citizen by convincing them to vote in your man. Discuss and debate with mutual respect for everyone you meet, because we are all equals, you, me, the president, and those natives in Brazil who don't want to meet anyone from outside their jungle village. The more you can discuss without disrespecting someone's right to their own opinion, the more trustful and open our society will become, and we will advance to use technologies you can't imagine today. I know this because we're living in that future that people from the 1950s couldn't fathom. Use your vote and your voice, or risk losing it. It's your choice.
Im afraid you are digressing from the points given by bipin_nag. :-)
McCann Japan hires first artificially intelligent creative director
You can change this with few lines of code in init script. That's the main selling point of Atom, ability to easily change any behavior annoying for you only, without recompiling whole thing.
1) Many users find the CTRL+F feature useful, because it saves time.

2) You can only use mass replace after doing a search first, so you can see what is going to be replaced.

3) You should look at the input before doing a find/replace.

4) Better use of version control would have made your problem a non-issue, even after 3).

Both of these features enable you to get stuff done faster. It's only different, yet you're acting as if it's wrong. If you like the Sublime Text way more, keep using it. But please, don't act all entitled and try to make Atom exactly like Sublime Text in every way.
But the tunnel should be a bit scraggly with fake indoor snow to simulate the experience of actually climbing Everest.

> Higher wages and better working conditions are required, so that people have more money they can spend.

Higher wage doesn't do it alone, just as lower prices doesn't do it alone. Both need to work in concert to increase the worker's effective wealth.

Better conditions are tangential though definitely very important for an improved work/life balance.

> It also helps in a global context, as the prices of imported products won't change much just based on your national policies.

National policies, in the form of tariff, tax, and relative currency value, are enormous factors in the cost of imported goods.
It's also often a way for a new CEO to "prove" to the board that he/she is doing good work to propel the company forward.

The key is that they're going through the motions of "doing big things" rather than truly pursuing the best interests of the company.

Not limited to megacorps either. Plenty of smaller companies engage in this behavior.

The Libyan campaign did not start well until Ghaddafi's threats to decimate Benghazi, months into the conflict. Mind you, spearheaded by France (for once). It's an open question would humanitarian toll been the same in the case of non-intervention. One thing is certain: the West would still have been blamed for it.

In case of Syria, Asssad blamed the protests that followed the execution of the teens squarely on Israel, so you can't be right.
>Airlines need to make big profits in good years - they lose money like crazy in bad years. I don't know if it's still true, but at one time if you subtracted all the money US airlines lost from the money they made since the beginning of the industry you'd have a negative number.

> Fun fact: legal language is not protected by copyright

With respect: are you a lawyer?

I'm not, but all the sources I can find written by actual lawyers put this claim somewhere between 'wildly oversimplified' and 'false', depending on jurisdiction and the kind of legal language (contracts vs legislation, etc.).

Eg for US law, [0] quotes Nimmer on Copyrights § 2.18[E] as stating that ‘There appear to be no valid grounds why legal forms such as contracts, insurance policies, pleadings and other legal documents should not be protected under the law of copyright.’

I don't think this is a competition issue. After the 2007-2010 credit crisis, US corporates have gone through a considerable effort of delevering, taking on less debt/financing risk. Consequently this has, and will continue, to increase net income.

If lack of competition is real, this should be reflected at the EBITDA level, and The Economist has not discussed this at all.

As a long-term subscriber of The Economist I'm a bit disappointed in this piece.

This is running the bank. As long as everyone uses a bank account, it's not a problem. If the depositors all try to withdraw their money in cash, the bank will be immediately destroyed, because it doesn't have the cash.

As explained in It's a Wonderful Life:

> You're thinking of this place all wrong. As if I had the money back in a safe. The money's not here. Your money's in Joe's house...right next to yours. And in the Kennedy house, and Mrs. Macklin's house, and a hundred others. Why, you're lending them the money to build, and then, they're going to pay it back to you as best they can.

A lot of work gets done without cashing out the money banks create.

What are the properties of "money", as conceived of by you, that "credit" does not share?
Small correction: Brackets uses Codemirror, Visual Studio Code uses its own editor called monaco, Advanced Editor (if you mean the wordpress plugin) uses Codemirror as well, Ace is used by c9.io and RStudio for example.

I'd expect some part of their users are people who have it installed, and check from time to time if it became faster or not, but the main thing making it popular is the promise of being easily extensible.
To the larger point, this is what happens when you pile on a bunch of regulations and then allow industry to capture the regulators.

Not using up one of my economist.com free articles per month, but I think this is what happens when an industry has the cost of their biggest variable expensive crash: http://www.macrotrends.net/1369/crude-oil-price-history-char...

Note that they'll tend to hedge their purchases, which protects them for a while from fuel cost increases while also delaying the benefit of decreases.
Foundation dropped it at V4. It's 3 years ago (https://github.com/zurb/foundation-sites/releases/tag/v4.0.0). I don't think that's the right time. Interestingly, as my own experience small business websites always asking for IE8 supports. They found their website doesn't work in their office's IE8!!!

Vendors like Zurb (or in-house team for their own company site) usually working on large projects and able to make every decision clearly and fixing any problem they facing. However, for most of developers, they can't afford the cost of it. While there's Boostrap exists, why do you put yourself into risky?
