When I opt out, I keep my stuff next to me, or take it off the machine and wait for the TSA drone to show up. It doesn't go in until I'm going with the drone who's going to assault me.

Learning to program is a very very different thing. You can use programming to learn math and play games and mix the two.

My son loves learning programming. He isn't learning it like you and i learned math. He is playing it. Adjusting it, slowly understanding the concepts of loops, if/then etc. conceptually, later literally.

So at least I don't se your point :)
Definitely, which is how you end up with half of NPM's package repository.
I can say as a former conservative that the author is right in that political ideologies have their own lexicon for common words. It's probably why I'm not a conservative (or in most instances not a liberal) anymore since I tend to speak plainly. Even when I was a "born again" I honestly thought that gay marriage was none of my business and the State should just recognize them since it handles the marriage licenses anyways. That got me quite a bit of flak from other conservatives, but my point was if the State manages one kind of marriage then it must have the sovereignty to manage the other kinds whether we personally like them or not. To me it wasn't about promoting life styles, it was about what is the rightful, legal authority of the State. It seems that theoretical framework was lacking from conservative ideologies (probably still is) of the time. Plus, liberals have the same sort of ideological black holes in terms of selective policy stances (anti-drug-war, but pro-gun-regs) which immediately turned me off to them after I left my conservative views behind.
Pretty cool prototype. Did you take a look at https://www.goocreate.com? Or https://playcanvas.com/? Or http://vizor.io/? What was your inspiration?

I help develop Goo Create so it is really cool to see other people making cool stuff for the web :)
Rails isn't the fastest or the smartest framework. It has weird choices, confusing aspects and some downright terrible defaults, but for me at least, it is the best framework and it has been for years for one simple reason: DOCUMENTATION!

Every few years or so, a bunch of these articles come out shouting from the roof tops, "Rails is dead!" and "Long live Rails!" They often like to praise some new framework, like Hanami, as the answer to all our woes, but they never seem to address documentation.

In my opinion, documentation is where Rails blows every other framework away. I have never been forced to read Rails' source code to understand how something works (I have read some of the source, but for fun, not out of need), and I can't say that about any of the other framework I've worked with. There's always some obscure method or class somewhere in them that does something unintuitive that I always have to look up. In Rails, finding the documentation on that method is as simple as a Google search, but in django, expressjs, or any of the others I've encountered, that documentation usually doesn't even exist at all.

Efficiency, scalability and reliability are all great, but when I'm starting a web app from scratch, they're really not that important. I can worry about those things once I have funding. In the meantime, I only need them to be good enough, and Rails defaults are usually good enough.

What I really need when I'm starting a new project and I'm working on a shoestring budget, is speed. I need to build something fast so I can get funded. Once I'm funded, then I can think about implementing JRuby or splitting code out into microservices or rewriting with another framework, but by then, I'll have the money to take my time. Until then, Rails is the perfect framework for me and I'll keep using it until it's not.
The problem is that it basically locks you out of the ecosystem of Linux/Unix and that is significantly larger and more important than the ecosystem of Rails.

J2EE wasn't even that old when Rails was new - maybe 4 or 5 years? But it offered an optimal path between the Scylla of J2EE architecture astronautism and the Charybdis of PHP spaghetti.
I never heard of such a thing as VS prohibiting the compilation of GPL code.
Arq does not offer storage on the cheapest plan(I have no idea what you are paying for then), and even the $120/year plan only includes 250GB of storage. If I signed up with Crashplan I would upload literally all of my data to it - so 4TB of personal backups then.
Looks like I should have put "/s" after that initial hyperbolic statement.
Haha, definitely not. Which part looks like that?
Can't believe I am saying this but whatever Israel does in their airports, do it here and problem solved.

In fact whatever company does it in Israel should be hired to do it here, if it is a government thing, borrow their people to train ours, we give them enough for that loan.

Show HN: SeaLion 3 – Optimize Linux Server Performance
One interpretation of this interview: If Machiavelli had had a prince for a disciple, the first thing he would have recommended him to do would have been to write a book against Machiavellism. --Voltaire

Another interpretation of this interview: P.T. for POTUS.
One I would add to puzzles for conservatives, that continues to puzzle me:

Liberals seek to limit or even outright ban firearms, because they are related to many injuries and deaths each year. But they do not advocate banning alcohol, which is the cause of far more injuries and deaths every year. This seems inconsistent. Why is it not?
6 Strategies of Highly Successful Online Retail Stores
Antivax movement is ignorance of proven science. Expressing the opinion that hackathons are bad is debate.
Hey HNers,

We're excited to announce a major update to SeaLion. SeaLion is built on top of a lot of feedback from SysAdmins, DevOps and many industry experts who helped us mold this product to what it is today.

If you're new to SeaLion, it's a Linux server monitoring tool designed to view the raw output for critical events and optimize server performance.

With the latest update, we have added integrations with popular services like MongoDB, Redis, NGINX, Apache, and MySQL. One agent to monitor all these services and you can use the custom framework to monitor any other Linux-based service.

To help you get started, we are allowing you to monitor your first server for FREE! Go ahead, give it a spin. We would love to know your feedback.

Here is a quick video overview of the product - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9ES7nmZ948

How can/does Tor propose to handle government level subversion (which must surely be happening and continue to happen with ever-increasing depth) where "sponsored" computers begin to form a majority of worldwide exit and relay nodes, with modified Tor running on them that looks actively for attacks, and leaks of information?
Elixir and Phoenix is what you're looking for. Most of the goodness of Rails for productivity, without the long term bad decisions that come with it to force eventual rewrites when the funding comes. There's a reason Rails core guys have put so much time into it.

It gets every...single...dang...decision...right. I may never use another language unless forced because it's what I've spent years trying to find.
Yeah, I was wondering "This example is clearly broken, it won't copy at all". Glad I'm still using the best browser around!

> When it gets to be too much to take, figure out how to factor blocks out into pure functions (and don.t let them slide back into impurity!).

This is a great piece of advice and one that has worked for me in the past when refactoring code like the one referenced.
This is true as well but at least that part is fixable (although I'm not sure it's in the realm of a GSoC project considering the kind of work that went in to stuff like various JVM GC implementations)
It seems as if the TSA agent may have been in on it. He pulled the laptop off the belt and then handed it to a random woman who 'happened' to be with somebody causing a distraction. She did not protest the gift of the laptop. I find it hard to believe the agent 'happened' to hand it to just the right person.
>Backspace to go back is a similar surprise. It's supposed to delete text

Spoken like someone who never used a typewriter. Backspace is not an eraser key, it historically does what it says. Takes you back a space. Making it an eraser key is what was "weird...when people were still figuring things out in new UI paradigms."

Having backspace take you back, may be closer to the original function of the key.
Enterprises are abominably bad at IT as a rule and horrifically inefficient partly because they have made terrible decisions they are stuck with for decades or longer. The raw costs they pay to bloodsucking contractors that are nickel and dimed year after year is systemic, for example. Are you familiar with DoD contract price structuring by chance? Furthermore, are you aware of how desperate people are to deploy software onto something like AWS? There's a lot of reasons why the AWS office is in Virginia and is at least 50%+ security engineering in background. Trying to secure enterprise applications on-premise with the tools of the 90s is frustrating and typically an exercise in massive time wasting when most companies didn't even think about automation of work because the money was pouring in so much.

The amusing irony of this all is that IT is a cost center typically yet by trying to cut costs you wind up costing yourself so much over time.
Not too hard to find.

1. It is so perfectly clear that no two C programmers can agree to a common set of rules.

2. A machine independent interpretation would prevent any memory safety santiizer to do its job, which it seems to me much more useful than allowing such shenanigans.

3. The best resolution for everyone involved is for the program to abort as soon as it detect a rule violation. "Working" for some ill defined definition of working is not useful to anyone.
These parties are definitely socially conservative. Just check what they think about same-sex marriage. Dansk Folkeparti is also against the separation of church and state.
Yes, you're right - did not even notice MPC in the list, was commenting on Yacc and alike.
I hate to admit this but the stereotype is true, I have known a whole lot of people that drive Subaru, lol.

They do have some very fun to drive models though and the build quality is very decent.
I think the opposite. Terrorists and the Government have won if you prevent yourself from doing/saying something because of what they do/did. Another example would be if you stop talking about some things online because you think that they scan everything you post and can link it to your personal identity.

Interesting, I'm not familiar with any funds that have no hurdle rate whatsoever. I've heard of some that have what people in the industry describe as arrogantly low hurdle rates (like in the 3-4% range), but have never heard of a situation where there is none at all.

I agree with you that there might be a few funds that are considered so hot that their GPs could get away with not having a hurdle rate; do you know of any by name?

FWIW, my understanding is that if you're a super-in-demand fund, the power move is keeping the same hurdle rate in place (maybe even raising it as a demonstration of confidence in your skills as a money manager) and also raising the carry rate.

In other words, going from a 2/20 structure with an 8% hurdle rate to something like a 2/33 structure with a 10% hurdle rate. I believe a few of the Tiger baby funds have done this.
One of the most irritating aspects of the TSA inefficiencies is that they know the demand at each airport in advance. Because all airlines submit passenger information to the TSA as its booked (often months or weeks in advance), the TSA can shift resources.

While I'm all for blaming the TSA, the head of the TSA's union was on NPR this morning and pointed out that Congress diverted funds collected from the "9/11 Tax" (per-ticket fixed fee used to fund TSA) to other parts of the government budget. The union is requesting emergency funding for 8,000 additional TSOs, which would only bring it back to 2011 staffing levels.

There are quite a few other issues at play as well. The TSA has the highest turnover rate of any government agency. This is, in large part, due to the fact that they're mostly part-time and underpaid. Their public image isn't respected either.

I do think we should replace/get rid of the TSA, but the neo-conservative method of government excision where you cut off the cash flow and wait for everyone to get pissed off ("starve the beast") is incredibly unpopular. But thats exactly whats happening.
> You have any sources for that? I'm trying to imaging someone fleeing by risking their lives and paying with all their savings and then return because they didn't like the weather.

Of course it is not just the weather, or climate to be exact, but it's a fact that many of the people really had no idea of what the winter is in Northern Europe. Some people adapt, some don't. Particularly if one happened to come to the very North in the winter, the sun rises at 10 am or later and goes down at 2pm or before, and it is cold. Not at all easy to adapt. Some do, many don't.

But along with it there is the realization that unlike promised, there are no jobs that one could take, and all of the receiving population is not as friendly as in the social media clips that feature Angela Merkel or other EU leaders saying "welcome refugees". The food is really different as well, and this is difficult for some people.

So quite a number have decided to go back. These are not rejected asylum applications, these are withdrawn applications. People kiss the ground when they get back to Baghdad.

And yes, I do think it is quite a shame that so many people have spent their savings on chasing a dream that was not true. It's also a shame that people smugglers have made fortunes with this. I think they are worse than drug lords, in fact. They are individuals who shamelessly make false promises of an Eldorado and take $5000 or $1000 for a hazardous trip, and actually give advice that gets people killed.

For instance, people in rubber boats en route to Greece or Italy are advised to puncture their boat when they spot the EU sea rescue boats. This is so that they cannot be turned back (as if the rescuers would do that) and they have to be picked up immediately.

So, you bet everything on the card that the rescue boat picks you up. But this instruction does not take into account that the rescue boat may already be full. The boat won't take more than its capacity, so this greedy advice -- which makes sure no one comes right back to tell his tale -- ends up with people floating in the water without their boats. The rescue may take time, people drown or die of hypothermia.

But some people surely make a lot of money out of this. People smugglers, as well as "respectable" corporations that set up, maintain and service the shelters (paid by tax money, run by people with political connections, maintained at the minimum standards.)
My understanding is that you're supposed to let things come, but to note their happening in your mind's voice. I start by noting each breath, then as my awareness of it fades in and out I note people, noises, feelings, and thoughts.

Crashplan requires you to connect your computer once every six months. I found this out the hard way when I got a notice that I had 5 days to back up all of my files from an old computer elsewhere before they erased them.
The answer is yes, and the lack of clear statements confirming it shows that economists feel that it is a stupid idea but they go a long way to hide that from themselves.
I don't know that most people do that, but right click and mobile seem to bypass OP's method as well.
Oh, no. I appreciate the work being done and I've been watching on GitHub. Just waiting on the sidelines going, "Not yet ..." for now.
Agreed. I had a very similar experience with an AP Computer Science course in high school. Considering the material and range of students, I think my teacher did a fantastic job, though. I didn't feel like I picked up that much, but the exposure of being an enthusiastic peer who could help others -- that was very worthwhile.

> My response assumed that talking about Trump and globalism was dog-whistling for the less pleasant elements of society

Yes, and my response was precisely about that assumption, which is really a different issue than economic policies like tariffs for China. This doesn't just apply to the reaction to Trump, but also to the reaction to the (supposed) rise of the right in Europe, the main topic. The assumption that these people are voting like that because they're stupid and racist is going to kill the left.

Ask HN: How do I know if I'm building something only myself find useful?
I have this "organic" idea that myself find very useful. But I have shared my idea with a number of friends who I think can be my target users, but most of them are not thrilled, how do I know if I'm building something only useful to myself but not a group of people like me?
Maybe you read it wrong :)

This is an odd idea. I remember, after the explosions in Tianjin, the only place to find reasonably up-to-date information was on Chinese social media. The government wasn't saying much of anything, facts or blame-wise. Social media eventually sussed out (1) that there was massive negligence, which the government confirmed months later, and (2) one of the companies who was handling way more dangerous chemicals than it should have was operated by shadow-CEOs and may have been getting around regulations by being controlled by a former Tianjin dock safety manager. I still have no idea if the second one was ever proven, but I suspect it's true. And if censorship was meant to prevent blame-game stuff, there's no way so many people would have used social media to figure that out (on the other hand, this is one of those scenarios where the people and the government are generally in agreement -- the people who let that happen were never going to get any leniency from the government).

To a point, but then it is just self indulgence. Comparing camera gear is huge in the photography world, but making a great picture is rarely limited by the gear. People spend so much time arguing over gear they never take any pictures.

Whole heartedly agree. In my experience, meditation is a tool, not a cure-all. When I started getting into meditation, yoga, etc. I did a couple of legit non-new agey satsangs which is something like a chanting meditation type thing. Those were very deep, moving experiences, yet I felt extremely depressed after each one.

Some things can be too fast and unlock too much at once. This is where regular, consistent, meditation helps quell the unrest and let you tackle things at a sane pace. I had to work through those bouts of heavy depression, but now I can do very spiritual events and benefit from them.
