A more distinctive name would have made it easier to search for.

Hopefully everyone who ever writes anything on the Internet about this refers to it as "Azure functions", which will make it possible to find information. This seems unlikely however.

Microsoft would have helped out everyone-with-a-question by giving it a slightly more distinctive name to search by, such as PureFunctions or something.

Search Bing for:

"problem with functions"

"functions won't initialize"

"how to write functions with functions"

"what sort of language can I use functions with"

"getting started with functions"

"error with functions"

"how to write lambda functions with functions"

"my functions function is not functioning"

Yep, and to add - interviews are almost never as reciprocal as they should be.

I've been to 20 interviews or so in the past two months and the common pattern with the worst companies is a near complete lack of reciprocal respect and almost hazing (like GP does). The best listen to what's said and evaluate the content and the character at the same time without the need to do "extra whiteboarding" to prove some...thI'm not sure what it actually proves. What does it prove? I'm really at a loss there.

Another thing about those nonreciprocal interviews is that they they tend to be led by significantly less talented folk in comparison. My friend Peter might know why.... ;)

For what it's worth, voting system changes typically result from a two-party system splitting: http://repositori.upf.edu/handle/10230/506. When countries end up with more then two parties, those parties suddenly have an incentive to institute better voting systems. That would suggest you'd have to take out the Republican/Democrat duopoly to change the US system, but perhaps Trump will do some good after all.
This is conspiracy-theory talk, especially without any citations.

And outside of squeaking by in Florida with an assist from SCOTUS, the 2000 general election was terrible for Republicans. They lost a few extremely close Senate races (ultimately resulting in a 50-50 tie) that any competent conspiracy could have pushed the other way.

The assumption of the time was that it was common-sense that the Constitution was a whitelist, not a blacklist. There was pushback against having an enumerated Bill of Rights because then there would be a whitelist of rights, and the Founders feared this would mean that they'd miss something and in the future their government would become oppressive.

Except Google Code Search. I liked Google Code Search. But there's no useful way to hang ads on it. They could have used it for recruiting. People doing searches for code in difficult areas might be worth talking to. Google has tried that. At one time, if you searched for "proof of correctness", you got a Google recruiting ad. I was once contacted because I posted something in comp.lang.c++. (Unfortunately the person who contacted me was so clueless I told him to put me on their do-not-call list.)
I disagree. Feminists intentionally use a word, loaded with so much (negative) emotion as "racist" specifically for its emotional impact. Another example of this is when left-leaning media writes "anti-abortion and pro-choice" while right-leaning media writes "pro-life and pro-abortion".

Their purpose is not to win arguments with logic. They try to win the spectators over using emotion. They use "racist" to smear their opponents, for allegedly being discriminatory, but they're just the same themselves - they just target other underprivileged groups (e.g. nerds, poor conservatives, ...).

This is elaborated in this post: http://slatestarcodex.com/2014/09/30/i-can-tolerate-anything...

Interesting idea but I really don't like the user experience. As I'm reading the post on my phone I notice that the image is wiggling slightly. Try to drag it around with my finger. No dice. Then start waving my phone around and realize what's happening. No, thank you; although it makes sense for someone with the goggles to be able to experience this in VR, I don't think it makes any sense for normal mobile users.

It never occurred to me, but it's a novel concept: people campaigning for high office may be unaware of corruption in their own campaign. The idea of a well-intentioned politician with no idea corruption propelled them into office is scarier to me than a knowingly corrupt politician.

I was playing Civ 5 a while ago and had good relations with my neighboring civs. I tend to aim for science or cultural victories, so playing nice works well.

Come to find out I had no iron resources. Without iron I could not progress and would be unable to defend myself agains barbarians let alone another civ (like that backstabbing Napoleon!). I could have tried to trade for the resources, but didn't really have much to offer in exchange and would make for a volatile supply.

Meanwhile, my good friend just to the south had loads of iron, but almost no troops... I've never felt more dishonest than when I crushed his civ to take his iron. The military buildup I needed to do so along with the new iron resources ended up essentially forcing me to choose the military domination victory path.

The game forced me to switch from peacenik to expansionist military force crushing all who opposed me.

> 1) I run some services on DigitalOcean. Does this mean I can run a Kubernetes cluster, designate my controller as my Ingress, point my DNS entry there and it will load-balance?

Yeah, you'd need to deploy the nginx controller. Or the service-loadbalancer, which doesn't yet handle Ingress but conceptually does the same loadbalancing at L7 with plain Kubernetes Services. Both these can be found at: https://github.com/kubernetes/contrib

>2) is this a different type of load balancer type in the Service definition?

No, the community is debating moving L4 loadbalancing out of Services and keeping Services to mean "Backend services". Ingress spans services and encapsulates higher level concepts that require more context (eg: use a single IP to loadbalance entire cluster based on hostname vs type=loadbalancer which allocates an LB per service, SNI, atomic updates to a single URL map for blue/green deployment etc).
This is like Amazon's Lambda, right? So you don't get a dedicated VM --- you're not using up any infrastructure if your code isn't running, so you only get billed for time when it is running.
Actually, while unorthodox, I think one could read that sentence so that it refers to COBOL; as in "COBOL is still my first choice..." -- implying java will never be as good/stable... ;-) (No, I do not think that's what gp meant -- unless you're right and it's meant as irony).

Do people generally read these things before upvoting? Legitimately curious.

I don't. And that's because HN doesn't have separate "upvote" and "save" features... upvoting is saving (or, saving is upvoting, however you want to look at it). So I save (upvote) anything that meets the bar of "the title is interesting enough for me to think I might want to read this eventually".
Well none of the solutions mentionned are open source.

Free as in beer is one incentive as licenses are not cheap, and vendors know when they have you locked down and tend to milk everything they can.

More importantly, software for which we don't have control over the source is a risk. In this day and age anyone that cares enough should be able to push a bugfix/hotfix overnight. What if you'd have to wait for entire quarters or years for Tableau to parallelize their "live mode", or to get connectivity to Presto to work?

What if you want to integrate a new type of visualization that isn't supported? What if you want to integrate with your anomaly detection framework or your A/B testing framework or other internal or external facing applications?

Since this is a common need for most companies, it makes sense to have an open source solution that we can all use and collaborate on.
I wonder if capacitors could be used to moderate such short reductions in solar power. Not necessarily at the power plant, but as part of the solar installations.
Based on spez's language, is it safe to assume that a NSL has indeed been received? That's my interpretation (and it seems that of other reddit commentors too).
Both of my dogs have the Whistle GPS. Whistle was originally only a fitness tracker. Last year they acquired the company Tagg which was exclusively GPS for dogs. After the acquisition, Whistle redeveloped the app and the underlying tracking service. Many Tagg users (myself included) felt like Whistle made the GPS capabilities worse at the expense of fitness tracking and social features.

In my opinion the criticism is valid. Whistle solved a dumb problem (fitness tracking for dogs) and made a dog GPS service worse.

That would fit with Google's approach to VR so far. Cardboard is a neat idea but a pretty bad headset experience compared to Gear VR or the desktop headsets. It would be nice to see Google's VR efforts playing nice with the rest of the VR ecosystem rather than them only supporting Cardboard.

Then there are the "lingering death" products, such as Google Voice. Google bought that from Grand Central in 2009, and it's still basically Grand Central. There's a running joke about Google Voice acquiring an API that's been in a bug report for five years now.

I think there's a phone interface feature associated with Google Hangouts. ("Google Hangups?") But it probably requires that everyone you talk to have a Google account. All these little closed-world communications systems are a pain.

I juice with the "Breville BJE200XL Compact Juice Fountain 700-Watt Juice Extractor." $99 on Amazon[0] (4.5/5 star rating out of 4,835 reviews). You don't have to chop anything--it's large enough to fit in small apples, pears, beets, etc. Carrots go straight in. Clean up is a breeze with three large easy parts (I clean while drinking my juice). It makes 25 oz of juice max versus 8 oz of this "Juice Box."

So in other words--I love juice but will be sticking with my cheapo juicer.

> Safari's engine is what Chrome has been based on, and for most of its life it has been one and the same codebase.

You misunderstand how a browser is constructed. Browsers are much more than just a rendering engine like Webkit. Chrome and Safari have different JavaScript engines, support different web standards (no WebRTC for Safari!) and are architected in completely different ways. You might find this a helpful place to start:

Don't worry about me. I won't be discouraged about anything :)

I want to be able to produce GIFs since that's relatively easy enough, but it got me thinking that there just needs to be support for embedding an iframe in (Github's) markdown. Just strip scripts out of it and let authors worry about making it look right in the markdown in terms of size and using CSS for animations. GIFs are just huge and look bad when making their size reasonable.

In regard to key overlays, I feel the same way. I'm having that issue right now with my other project[1]. There was a little bit of effort put into making the animations with key overlays, and I really don't want to update them so that the images are correct with the current fixes.

In the scope of tmux, is it even possible to capture what keys were pressed? I'd be interested in adding such a feature to tmux2html since having an overlay with CSS and HTML would be trivial.

BTW, vis is pretty cool.
