Nothing destroys a political career quite so violently as being the guy who relaxed some apparent safeguard just before a (potentially uncorrelated) bad thing happens that the safeguard was meant to prevent.

This is why no one will back off the light pollution from Chicago's streetlights. If you're the alderman who made that street dimmer at night, and someone gets murderered there, your career is over forever.

Ask HN: How many are independent freelancers/microISV's?
Like the title says. How many are freelancers, working solo or a small team? What do you do - mobile/web, projects/clients? How are you doing; client, project wise? Are you thinking about going back to working for someone?
Looks a lot like a language designed by a committee, but I generally like it.

I don't love it, like I love Python, but it does its job and it is fast.

What I really like is the defer(), the channels(having the option for asynchronous channels would be awesome), the go routines(async callback hell is getting old).

What I find completely awkward however is the enforced first letter capitalization(don't tell me how to live my life, go!), the interface{}, and the GC.
That's sounds great but it does not really play out in a real world if you need to animate transitions to make UI look nice for example.

sshguard is amazing, I routinely install it on any new servers. It comes with the standard Debian and derivatives' repositories.

After installation, simply type:

$ sudo apt-get -y install sshguard

And then edit the whitelist to include your local IP if you want;

$ sudo vim /etc/sshguard/whitelist
$ sudo service sshguard restart
Kim-Barbulescu attack and its crypto consequences
I've looked into cold showers several times, but always end up on some quack's website or a blog post with no convincing evidence. I did a cold shower the other day and it was amazingly refreshing, but it was more of a mental, "Hell yeah, I'm tough!" feeling than probably any metabolic process. Thanks for kicking up some skeptical dirt, a lot of the commenters seem totally convinced.
I recently moved to Singapore and assumed cold showers were pretty much the norm here. Can confirm it's not comparable to having a cold shower elsewhere though, in terms of willpower :)
The SJW are definitely the most vocal and annoying lately. Reading their posts makes you dream about the d eloquent communist debates in USSR plenums after the October revolution.

Ok, if the requirements are 100 cycles per function, then you'll (for current kernels) need user<->user. So, AFAIK, an LTTng-like thing or uBPF. And LTTng does have such an order of magnitude difference: slide 25+ of http://www.efficios.com/pub/endusersummit2012/presentation-e...

I'd also look at what problems need solving, in case they can be solved without function tracing. If 100 cycles per function was needed, it sounds like a high rate of functions, and a lot could be done with just timer-based stack trace sampling.
Brilliant marketing:

Dead link.
And yet every time you wait in the line theres at least 2 TSA agents standing around not doing anything.

Here's an idea why don't we give all Americans a free TSA screening instead of charging $85.00. Then we can reduce their work force even further and actually make some progress in reducing wait times.

What's amazing is that in the 15 years since this agency was created there has been no visible innovation in expediting this process. None.
The only innovation I have seen is someone in the agency did took the initiative to sell advertising spots on the inside of the gray bins.

This agency seems to have completely forgotten their mandate. Their job was to look out for us no make us miss our flights and humiliate us.

I also like that they claim its due to an increase in air travelers. Really? Is everyone just flying more because money is just burning a hole in their pocket. The TSA is really the most absurd bit of theater.
I think I've poked around in the source enough to be able to do that -- running into failed assertions in ORB and such:P

Angular embraces two way data binding while React does everything humanly possible to avoid it.

I will also point out that Angular essentially re-implements JavaScript in the form of extensions to html. EG, if you want to iterate over something in React, you use map while Angular makes use of ng-repeat.

> [..] students are expected to sit with a partner and engage in quiet conversation. They are supposed to be able to hear each other, but not be heard more than one meter away. This allows other conversations to take place around them, creating an expectation of privacy and personal space in a crowded room.

The key here is: "This allows other conversations to take place around them". I was raised (in Germany) to understand that unnecessarily loud talking or shouting at each other is considered rude. As a kid I was far more often told to speak at an adequate noise level than to shut up.

On the generalization of "Americans" and "Europeans": Yes, it is BS, but the author reveals that she is mostly drawing from experiences in Austria and Germany and I'm pretty sure that everybody in this thread unjustly generalizes when (s)he does not know better due to lack of experience. Nobody complains when somebody writes about Scottish or Welsh people even though every valley there seems to have its own flag and slight cultural and even linguistical variations that we are too uneducated to see.
1) If people were to switch, it would bring more people onto a platform that is not tied to Facebook, a company that loathes privacy.

2) Signal is free software, including the messaging server (https://github.com/WhisperSystems/TextSecure-Server). This makes it less sensitive to take-downs (anyone could set up an alternate server), and makes third-party security code audits possible.

As I see it there are 2 main competing philosophies for Bitcoin.

1. Digital Gold. Pseudo anonymous value storage that can't be tampered with by third parties.

2. A payment network with transaction levels that match Visa.

It appears the 2 are not compatible.

For 1 we need more nodes, and node counts from my understanding are on the way down.

For 2 we need to increase the blocksize, but this might decrease the number of people willing to run nodes.

I think we have to look at the way we use Bitcoin today, after all the experiment has been running for a few years now. I don't know anyone who is using Bitcoin for day to day spending. But I do know people who are using it as an investment or for value storage.

So in my view the market has decided.

The miners have also decided. They were offered a solution with increased blocksize and they voted no.

That's consensus.
> Its best if we judge ourselves by comparing against the actions of our fathers, otherwise we may lose ourselves in idealism.

Honesty and decency existed thousands of years ago, too, "our fathers" aren't a monolith, just like the present isn't. But more importantly, I say including 10 different versions of jQuery on one page to color 10 letters makes it load needlessly slow, and you say that's still faster than usenet in the 80s -- if you know what I mean? It is both technically true and completely besides the point.

> The claim after all, is that the current time is the most prosperous and peaceful time of all of human existence.

Nope. The claim was that this is because of countries wanting to dominate each other. I say it's despite of that.

> You may be worried about a few thousand innocent deaths here and there, but again, that number is much much MUCH much smaller than the historical norm.

It's also a rather simplicistic metric. We consider murder bad because it doesn't allow the murdered people to live their lives, right? To develop freely as a person, and whatnot? Well, there's a problem:

> "it's not possible to be fully human if you are being surveilled 24/7"

[ http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20130818120421175 ]

The same goes for other things. People are getting fucked in so many ways with it's not really the opposite of murder, but its sibling. And open murder evokes criticism and resistance, while "pumping every home full of sleeping gas" (to paraphrase the lyrics to Bullet In The Head by RATM) works much better.

> I am peace-loving and idealistic enough that I believe we should open up our country to these people, despite the risks.

Call me when you're willing to get war criminals arrested and tried, and I mean American/Western ones. And let's talk about how peaceful the world has become after the wars/genocides over oil and water are over. You know, the ones we do nothing serious to avoid steering into, because we're too busy dominating each other, building little fortresses and kicking away the ladder? The gap between rich and poor is growing, not shrinking. You can't say by the standards of 1900, people today are better off. Well you can, but I can't take it seriously. By the standards of 2016 -- the ones that matter -- many people are worse off. As Stephen Hawking wrote:

> If machines produce everything we need, the outcome will depend on how things are distributed. Everyone can enjoy a life of luxurious leisure if the machine-produced wealth is shared, or most people can end up miserably poor if the machine-owners successfully lobby against wealth redistribution. So far, the trend seems to be toward the second option, with technology driving ever-increasing inequality.

If you've ever wanted to travel in Indonesia/Singapore/China locations during the multi-month Haze/particulate issues, you would understand how this is a pretty invaluable technology.

I don't really have any lung issues (that I know of) - but if I forget to bring a mask, and walk for any distance, I start coughing and gagging after a while to clear my lungs.

It gets so bad, that at times people are not only told to stay indoors (where they hopefully have filtered air), but are in extreme cases, evacuated.

Can you imagine how wonderful having this mode of air-cleaning would be during those months if you had asthma (or young children?)
Technically Switzerland and Finland are third world countries by the original definition. That's not very useful in modern conversation though, just as describing happy people as gay is not useful.
A cold shower lowers your skin temperature, which in turn causes your body to restrict the blood flow to save heat. When you get out of the shower and back in to the warm you start pumping blood back to the surface again. There is no additional work done to warm you up. Your physics approach is betrayed by biology. We've had thousands of years to evolve an efficient solution to the problem of heat conservation.
It all depends on what the purpose of YC Fellowships is. If the purpose is "get a direct return on investment", Tarsnap and Pinboard are probably not good companies to accept. If the purpose is "gain information to improve future YC Core admission decisions", likewise. If the purpose is "bring interesting people together who will contribute to the YC community and help other YC-funded companies", then I think they should accept Tarsnap and Pinboard.

But I don't think YC makes many mistakes, so I'm inclined to conclude that the third of those possible purposes is not why YC set up the Fellowship program.
I was surprised to find that Angular has a limited duration time window during which changes will update the view. In my case, symptoms were observed only after deployment, for user who had a high latency connection between their browser and the server.

One could mitigate this by calling $scope.$apply() after every change. But if you have to apply() all changes, then what's the point of having angular handle synchronization?
I cant recall a single UI library / framework (with the solely exception of Jquery) to be mantained that much. In less than 5 years VR, AR will probably be mainstream, and UI technologies will probably to be revisited from ground up again.
I would argue FedEx is a tech company. Creating and shipping labels can be done via the FedEx API, and pickups can be arranged too, like Uber. The supply chain solution is so good that companies can keep very low inventory of high value goods. Drivers use software to optimize routes (eg no left turns in US). I believe software is a very important part to keeping FedEx efficient.

But your other examples made a lot of sense to me.

Ugh, this lacks any contextual reason on why one is better than the other. Dirty checking a model requires a direct comparison on every digest loop, regardless of whether or not the state has changed (because we don't know if the state has changed).

React runs its dirty check only after a state change obligates it to. As your model gets larger and larger, dirty-checking the model on every digest loop starts to have performance problems.

Oversimplification can be incredibly misleading.
There are lots of apps that let you send free sms over wi-fi, including Cacao (not sure of spelling, I don't use it but my partner does, seems popular in Korea?) and also why would the sale of iPhones with FaceTime and Messages not be an even greater threat than WhatsApp to telecom revenue?

I don't doubt the telecom companies are trying to control their market, but I doubt they are behind some huge conspiracy. It is more likely that the govt/courts are trying to control the flow and availability of user's data and are in cahoots with the telecoms companies who have close ties to govt.
I disagree. CSS animations work very well and offer better performance. You can maintain the animation lifecycle by the React lifecycle callbacks and use of setTimeout
short answer: "No".

Explanation:
In js land, Long term Support means "6 months". so your best bet is to have a framework which makes migrations easy and does not introduce changes.

With angular being backed by google, there is no guarantee if angular will be maintained 4 years down the line.

I didn't get the impression he hated the language or even the node.js ecosystem. Love or hate for languages have no real place in production. I work at a place with 5000 employees and I sometimes work with technologies I'm not fond of because they are the right choice for the job.

Things like long term support, stability and security rate in how mature different technologies are for production. Considering a lot of the problems the author ran into with node.js aren't secret, I think he might actually have liked it quite a bit to go on to try it in production for a full year.
Elixir/Phoenix, Go/, Rust/ ... should all outperform node.js easily, plus they're actually parallel and not just concurrent AND are much more solid languages to begin with.
Wow, 3 degrees is not just uncomfortable, but literally cold enough to be painful. Our pool gets down to about that over the winter and sticking my hand in for even a few seconds hurts. Interesting that you found it less painful after a while though.

Is Tesla making cars for Indonesia, Singapore or China currently? Surely there are problem all over the planet but I don't see why American government must subsidize solving those problems.
Running an ICE car in a garage will harm you (and kill you pretty quickly), running an electric car will heal you.

It sounds cheesy but it true.
Angular is an ORM for the DOM. With an ORM it's: "here's my model, figure out what to do to the database". With Angular it's "here's my model, figure out what to do to the DOM". Some people hate ORMs because there's too much magic, other's like them because they let one think about other parts of the app more.
What a shamefully misleading presentation of that quote. Jobs said that to show how thoughts of death gave him the courage to follow his heart. "Nothing else mattered" because we have nothing to lose. Might as well follow your heart. Isn't that exactly what Musk is doing?

"Apple just makes toys" is so wrong. Every computer is a Mac, every smartphone is an iPhone. Apple's "toys" define industries - that is what Apple achieves at its best. Imagine if every car were a Tesla. Then you'd really have something!
If the Tesla is for rich people I find it immoral to provide subsidies to it under any pretext. Helping conventional cars be more environment friendly might help poor people more.

VC4 itself doesn't have a MMU per se, it supports very limited memory remap (like PPC BATs) so running a conventional kernel on it is probably not possible. Best bet would be to port an RTOS to it, but my current plan for my firmware pretty much involves halting the VPU once the ARM is running.
I am referring to American taxpayers money. Poorest of poor in America is subsidizing these rich people gadgets at around $8k per unit. Why should we gift this money to China ?

> And even then, the single-most useful function in an IDE

> 'Show Call Hierarchy' will never be available when

> using a dynamically typed language.

True when "never" = "40 years ago". Smalltalk IDEs have had features for displaying call hierarchies statically and dynamically since essentially forever. And of course, in a dynamic environment the IDE vs. program distinction doesn't matter, so if you want to really know what's going on, just insert a self halt. and check in the debugger.

Smalltalk also introduced automatic refactoring, another canard of the "impossible to do in a dynamic language" variety. Really weird when "impossible in" = "invented there".

Yes, we can talk about how static type information can make some of this easier, but it also makes other parts harder (and the RB guys did talk about this, so the information is out there).

Please: if you want to diss JavaScript, diss JavaScript, don't say "dynamic languages". If you want to diss dynamic languages (please do!), inform yourself first.

The United States are very homogenous in comparison to Europe. The US have a strong race issue between "blacks" "whites" "asians" etc.

Europe has a discrimination issue between what the US calls "whites". For example in France, Polish people are supposedly all plumbers and Portugese are masons.

In the US there are only two languages, English and Spanish. In Europe there's too many to count with the modern revival of local dialects.
...And the standard of living, as well as discipline of Danes and lack of discipline of Italians reflects their respective mentalities. Denmark is an ordered state where everything functions, while Italy is struggling in every sense across the spectrum. Coincidence? Should we have a discourse about corruption in Italy? We could lie to ourselves and say it isn't so, but deep down we know it to be true. As my secundo Italian friend and colleague so aptly put it: "we are the smartest and the dumbest people at the same time." And Danes? So sorry, but we cannot discuss it: they are busy inventing the future, and pursuing sports, arts, and other endeavours of intellectual value, all the while being one of the countries with the lowest level of corruption on the planet. The kid from Naples is yelling? You bet your patootie she or he is, and the root cause is a mentality which regards a largely different set of values as important. The results reflected in Italy as a country speak for themselves; meanwhile in Denmark, the quiet efficiency continues.

If you have a sensor that can detect things the size of bioweapon pathogens at concentrations where airborne pathogens would be dangerous, then yes, you absolutely can test for them. And, what do you know, some common bioweapon bacteria are around .5 um, and HEPA filters have to be able to filter out 99+% of objects .3 um to be rated as HEPA bu the US DOE. Add on that many bioweapons are actually not natively airborne and are distributed as aerosols with even larger droplet sizes, 1.5 um to 5 um, and a certified HEPA filter is absolutely capable of defending you from biological weapons. The technology to measure things that small and defend against them is readily available.
