Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't see the reason.
I think it actually makes sense for something like Ansible to use Python 2 because it's about controlling lots of remote machines on various Linux distros, and the idea is that it's agentless. If you suddenly have to install an "agent" (Python 3) on all the remote machines before you control them with Ansible, that wouldn't be great.

On the other hand, Ansible itself could have a tiny bootstrap step which installs Python 3 on all the remote machines before it does any work.

In our case, we use Ansible daily for deployments, but haven't actually written any custom Python modules -- it's all just straight Ansible YAML. So I'm guessing for a lot of use cases it doesn't really matter what language Ansible is written in.
Yea but I guess the point is 'self control' - I use emacs full screen too, that doesn't mean I don't just switch to a workspace for a browser when I need it.
Finally. Amazing that I had to read through miles and miles of comments siding with either Thiel or Gawker to get to the real problem:

Why is it that an (already a millionaire) entertainer _needs_ to get a billionaire on his side just to try and get justice done? This is a totally crazy state-of-affairs.

Prenups are strange in that those who are mature enough to get them, probably don't need them, and those who aren't, do need them.

If I had my way, prenups would be a mandatory requisite for anyone applying for a marriage licence.

Here's why.

On Maturity, Frankness, Honesty & Disclosure::
I'll call the decision to get married, Peak Love. You are about to spend a chunk of money on a party, so I'm thinking you are pretty loved up.

This is the time to be having the hard conversations. I can almost guarantee that if you are not able to agree on what happens in the event of a divorce at this time, there is no way you're going to agree once you decide to divorce.

As other posters have indicated too, both parties are forced to disclose their financial positions. No more "oops, I forgot to mention my $100k in credit card debt" conversations once you're already married.

Divorces can be messy and acrimonous. With a lot of bitterness, anger, and all the other emotions that will make what should be a rational discussion seem like a Mid East peace negotiation summit.

And once you go guns hot, it can get very very expensive very quickly.

Cost is totally worth it::
Even allowing for the fact that your marriage will never fail, the fact that there is a non trivial chance it will, makes the cost of lawyering up for a pre nup totally worth it.

Put slightly differently .... Prenup lawyers are cheaper than divorce lawyers. Especially if the other side decides to get nasty.
Promoting Marriage Has Failed and Is Unnecessary to Cut Poverty (2015)
This reminds me of an idea I had in mind a while ago.

It would've been similar to this (like some kind of "Startup Graveyard") but slightly more extensive: interviews with the founders and the lessons they learned from it, what "type" of failure they suffered from (misinterpreting the market, lack of skills, etc).

I ultimately gave up on the idea because none of the founders I contacted wanted to truly spill the beans on what went wrong (the best I tended to get was some vague PR mumbling).
Signed up. I had backed the tablet but since it failed I never had an opportunity to try Jolla for real, this will be it.

I really think we need an alternative to the Android / iOS duopoly and I hope this is it.

This is how my Subaru behaves, and it feels right. The only false positive stopping I've encountered is someone coming from the opposite direction turning left across my path. And even then, it only happens when they're close enough that i they weren't moving, it would be a problem.

That's always the tough one: "How did this even work in the first place...."
"a lot of old Lisp is probably reasonably close to parseable"

I think you would be hard-pressed to find any old Lisp code that a modern READ cannot turn into a list which could trivially be transformed into a valid s-expr in that dialect.

The reverse is much less true, since modern Lisp-like languages allow many more characters, are often case-independent, and often have standard "decorations" (e.g. &REST or #:optional).

Common Lisp is so kitchen-sinky that you'd be hard pressed to find old Lisp code that was then reasonably portable that will be outright hard to port to a modern CL implementation.
Most of it will probably run as-is, or with a thin macro package doing mechanical translations.

Unportable code is unportable code. If it was so tied to e.g. Allegro that it wouldn't run in any other CL environment, that's hardly the language's fault.

However, really early Lisp stressed the "S" part, and rarely did anything strongly system-specific.
I've always just assumed that it was just "trolling", like being a follower of the FSM - noodles all round.
And, if so, is it hardware accelerated or a software implementation?

Edit: And, how many concurrent context could it support?
> It is just statistics slapped together with a desired conclusion drawn at the end.

Funnily enough, the same way we concluded that education does fix poverty in the first place.
>> So if every "social science" major (and why not add business and law students) instead studied engineering

You can study engineering and not be much more than a peon checking plans, measuring tolerances.

You can NOT study engineering and come up with a fantastic design for a new device.

It doesn't matter what you study, you can't teach creativity, inventiveness, drive (and need).

Is RCU still patent encumbered, though?
Not likely, the space is very fluid. ASICs are expensive and inflexible.
Wow. Pretty garbagey article. Yes you can find some people on twitter that wouldn't want to load a kernel extension from Dropbox. Back in reality: nobody will even know, nobody will care, everybody will be happy if "it just works".
I guess when a program asks to read a file, dropbox has to intervene at quite a low level to get it from a remote server rather than the local file system where the program thinks it is.
It's definitely meant to be taken lightly. If you added your own startup, a big "no" just shows how non-failey you are -- it goes both ways.
We're doing real time stuff where these pauses matter. Just that we don't really need GC for anything and adding it to certain services cause more harm than it causes good.
For any HN readers in NYC who have to care about stuff like this (system level)... you should come to ACM's Applicative 2016 conference. It's June 1st and 2nd at NYU. http://applicative.acm.org/

Paul McKenney is going to be presenting. He is one of the inventors of RCU, the author of Linux's RCU code. He's going to be presenting about RCU and write rates.

I'm really curious to hear that talk so that's the primary reason I'm going. But there's going to be other great systems / application talks.
Yeah, that seems to fall under the "if it breaks" category. But even then it seems like you could just split the monolithic file into different files with smaller scope. Like all the keys that start with "x" go into the "x's" file. You could probably get a lot of mileage out of just splitting the files by index whenever they reach a certain number of records. It doesn't really matter how many files you have if their naming convention is simple, like if the key starts with "xyz" it's in the "xyz's" file.

Intuitively it seems like that solution should scale pretty much as far as you need. As long as some other feature, like simultaneous access, didn't become important you'd be fine.

I guess that's basically just using the existing functions in the OS. Hmmm...okay, so that implies a heuristic for investing in a database could be if the product needs high performance in a function the OS doesn't already have. In that case you'd have to implement it yourself anyway, and a database would probably do it better. That would also help constrain the search for an appropriate database since it would make sense to focus on that function.

OS's already provide the function of allowing multiple users to access the same information; that's what the file system is. But something like simultaneous access is different. I think they generally just lock the file. So I'd have to write an middle-man function to work with the file in memory when multiple users need to read/write simultaneously. That could easily get complicated fast and clearly justify a database.
Lead Software Developer Is Leaving Fairphone
It's called priorities. Reddit didn't need an image uploading service, it had other shit to worry about.
I think it's more complicated than that. I think her sentence, like most in the US, is overly punitive and unlikely to do anything other than ruin her life without any greater benefit to society, but I also hesitate to say what she did was clearly right or that she shouldn't face any consequences for it.

I haven't read any of the documents that she leaked, but there is a certain danger in ignoring vigilantism even in cases where it is the right thing to do, because certainly we don't have the context to know whether that information could have been dangerous to be released, and perhaps she didn't either. It's one thing for journalists to report on leaked information, but another to give a free pass to someone who violates the terms of their access to classified information.
Strangely enough, if I Google "install latest version of npm", I get the same link as your screenshot, but the text is as follows:

Pretty fun. I can usually get the colour right but the brightness/saturation usually catches me out.
I think you're right. Go has a race detector, but it work on run time:

Guess you would normally run your tests with it, and maybe compile a dev / beta / RC version with race detection enabled?

Never used it in prod, but it did find a problem for me.

Forecast the Number of Likes a Photo Will Get on Social Media
Hey! So I am an engineer and i have made a system that a user can upload a photo and get an estimate for the number of likes the photo will get on social media.
It's not bullshit,the user login to my system through his facebook or instagram so i can use his data to make the prediction.I am wondering,is this service valuable to anyone?
I mean who would actually pay for this?
"Publicised". There's no source going on here, unless you've open sourced the tracking software, but that still wouldn't be your location.
That might be imprudent to disclose from an account is easily linked to your real name, right?
>One might say that there is a point of diminishing returns, and the U.S. has reached it while many developing countries haven't.

I'm skeptical, given that the population-wide baseline of knowledge in the USA isn't actually that high. When the subject comes up, we hear that other countries teach their high-school kids calculus, linear algebra, and real physics.
Curious, how long can a pause be before it's a problem? (I do not write these kind of services)
>I'd come in and the entire rest of the class would be sitting around sharing their homework answers, copying each other on the ones they couldn't figure out, getting help from each other...

And I'd say you are luckier that you didn't have access to this.

When I was in university, I did my own homework.[1]

I specifically didn't want any help from anyone because I wanted to see how I measured up against other students and the material.

I took chances with my answers. If the problem set included a hint, I tried using the hint privately, but then worked hard at finding a novel answer that didn't use the hint.

This, in my opinion is a real education. Education isn't something the school gives you, it's something you pursue yourself.

And BTW, my grades suffered as a result of this 'passion' for the material, but I don't believe my prospects after school did. If anything I think they were improved.

[1] I don't know what it is these days, with everyone doing their homework together. Is that a millennial thing? Perhaps high schools switched to over-emphasizing group work?

Your systems is already down, rolling back is the same thing, if not more effort than rolling forward. At least that's what I've always found.

Another option is to have customers point at stage after it has been upgraded and if it all goes horribly wrong, a load balancer change should be enough to point people back at the older production environment.

All this being said, problems in production shouldn't be a thing with configuration management, infrastructure as code (Terraform), and tests, not to mention three environments (development,test, stage - at minimum) to work your way through before pushing to production.
That is a risk we've analyzed and are willing to take. Scala can stay on the data side of our platform, but the real time part will be either Rust or C++14 (and Python where we don't need raw speed and can handle everything with one thread). For the libraries the situation is not that bad. Something I was missing from Scala side was Kamon. It is a really awesome library I've been using (and contributing) for some time. For Rust I needed to do my own solution with threads and a bit of macro love. It works, it is using a constant amount of ram and when we get our next Rust project running, I might open source that part for everybody to use...
These remind me of the tabloids I see in the supermarket aisle - There might be some shred of truth there ("W" Bush meeting with aliens might explain a lot) but mostly its the same hyped up headlines and empty content as we see with these "10 things ..." publishers.
Providing for the lawsuits to be based on credible grounds, then absolutely yes. We want strong law enforcement based on appropriate use of force and judges that can intelligently apply discretion. With humans that is about as much as you can hope for. There exists grey areas but policemen who decide to strike by not intervening when they could prevent violence are not the right of people we needed in the first instance. In fact that would be a double win because we would be selecting for the police officers with better intuitions.

She's right, especially in philosophy, every translator invents his own language, and never care enough to inform the user with a translator's note or whatnot.

I did set up something similar on postmortem.co (dead) that was being populated by subreddit r/shutdown plus other contributions, main problem was to get proper explanation on why they failed and not just the public statement.

Legal, reputation among other reasons force people to don't share why something failed. I'm convinced it would be a great resource for learning on all kind of areas.
If the execution is measured in nanoseconds, the GC pauses are measured in millisecond, sometimes tens or hundreds...

Also RAM has a cost, for garbage collected service you need to reserve some extra RAM. Scaling these processes add an extra memory overhead we're not so eager to take.

This company http://exablaze.com/ (which I do some work for) builds FPGA based NICs and switches nearly exclusively for the HFT industry.

Arista discontinued the 7125FX switch (with an FPGA in it) because of limited uptake. In the end, I think this was for 2 reasons, 1) by the time the switch got to market, the FGPA was slow and out of date 2) only 8 ports of the switch were FPGA enabled and because of 1) were slower than regular ports. The switches made by Exablaze use very modern FPGA's (Xilinx Ultrascale) and the entire switch is implemented in the FPGA, yet is one of the fastest (if not the fastest) switch you can get.

I bet a fair number of those tried and tested libraries expose a C interface. As far as I know, Rust have an FFI. Those libraries are only a set of bindings away. So I think we can do away with Java libraries, as well as the occasional header-only C++ template madness¹.

1: I mean, it's madness if you want to talk to it from the outside. If you stick with C++, this is "merely" flamewar material (take the Boost devs and the C++ committee on one side, and game devs like Mike Acton, Jonathan Blow, or Casey Muratori on the other side).
The CPU is a resource too, for which there is contention just as for other resources such as files. Therefore, at every machine instruction, you are implictly performing a potentially blocking operation. (In a pre-emptive environment.)

Unless you are in a critical section (in which your thread has exclusive control of the CPU). So the blocking may start again at the end of the section.

I hope this makes it clear.
