Define best but it's a pretty reasonable approach. Some DNS servers (powerdns is an example from memory) use mysql over more traditional back ends like dbm which aren't so hot for high volumes of zone changes. I imagine a site like wix could be pretty tough on DNS.

Re: nosql, I'm coming at that with really positive experiences in Cassandra but I can't imagine what kind of DNS system it would be a good fit for. The ability to tune CAP to fit DNS may be useful but in general I think of Cassandra as the solution you think about when your 2 node vertically scaled monster can't keep up.
"large-scale C code"

I hope to never own a microwave oven with a large scale codebase. Also my basement dehumidifier. And my waffle iron. And my clothes washer. And my digital dial caliper in my workroom.

There's a surprising amount of money in "you are now a timer" and "you are now a thermostat" and "you are now a thermometer" and very close analogies.
As a paying Pro customer, I am a bit worried how intent they seem to be on pushing the business/enterprise products.

First of all, Dropbox the web application is spammed with Dropbox Business advertising. I am already paying. And, no, my employer (a European university) is unlikely to roll out Dropbox Business. So please stop bugging me :(.

Secondly, more and more features are rolled out to business users first. Why? Are regular paying customers going to be treated as second-class citizens to bully them into business accounts?

> On the Sina Weibo microblogging site, his post was deleted by censors, and his newspaper soon afterward published an opinion piece defending the barrier and attacking Western media for hating it so much.

I'd love to read this piece, I'm genuinely curious on how the GFW can be seen as a positive thing for ordinary people because I really can't see it as defensible.
Other posts are right that you may never know for certain until you actually make it, but there is plenty you can do to mitigate the risk. If you are going to build something with the goal of helping other people and not just yourself, you should be building and researching iteratively to prevent wasted time.

Asking friends in your likely target audience is a good approach. There could be a few reasons why they aren't excited:
- you are describing features rather than benefits
- you haven't identified compelling benefits
- you aren't successfully communicating compelling benefits
- they aren't actually your target audience
- the product idea actually is not very useful

Don't worry - this is a much more challenging process than many people realize. Many potentially great products are shelved due to the challenges of identifying and communicating value. If you are very motivated to work on this, think a little harder on the problem you are solving and the benefits you want to provide. Value can in many cases be boiled down to providing an improvement in the experience of using the idea itself, and/or providing an improvement in helping get to a future state that the user wants to achieve. Hope this helps.

Other comments have already talked about what mindfulness meditation is but that's only a part answer.

You could say it's not different, since anything done in that physical pose is something we're going to call meditation. There are a lot of different practices from different cultures, and really what they have in common is that you quietly sit and focus on being in a certain state of mind, continuously trying to bring yourself back to that state of mind if/when you get distracted.

For mindfulness it's non-judgemental awareness of the present moment and your own mind's activity

For zen it's controlled focused attention on the object of meditation (nothing at all in the cliche)

For compassion meditation it's compassion/kindness/love towards yourself/others/everything

For the various types of body awareness meditation it's your own feeling of your physical body

There are mantras and guided meditation and many others, with a lot of historical cross pollination and tons of wacky woo-filled stuff. Many types that are likely complete junk that's useless or harmful because the whole edifice is built on magical thinking.

I think the feasible technical explanation is pretty simple, "neurons that fire together, wire together". It seems very reasonable to me that practising attaining a certain state of mind will make it easier to do at will and/or make shift your normal state in that direction. A lot of it is literally as simple as learning "If I focus on X for a short time I feel like Y, so now I know how to feel like Y when I want"
These days i'm an engineering director at Google, so, yeah, i have :)

I also worked at RedHat, IBM, and Microsoft, all of which would qualify.

I actually don't know if Google has closed offices to avoid legal trouble. But definitely, other large companies i've worked at have, in the past, decided it's not worth the hassle to have those offices when the government started pressing interesting claims (i'll just use that phrase to try to avoid taking something someone will see as a position, because i'm not the place i work for, and haven't really thought hard enough about this to have a position).

Your claim "that's just not the way the market works right now" is honestly, not something that has been a consideration at any of those companies. The pools of engineering talent in the world are too large, and most people relocate if you pay them well.
The considerations were all political and strategic.

(Like I said, i haven't been involved in office closings for Google. I do have a bit of trouble seeing why they wouldn't have mostly the same considerations)
Without a more specific example to go on, it’s difficult to speculate. The only case where you’d get an error asynchronously should be in the case of transition.tween or an event listener—cases where the code is necessarily asynchronous—and not something like selection.attr or transition.attr, where the code can be evaluated synchronously.

It’s true that D3 uses closures and anonymous functions internally. But assuming you are using a debugger and the non-minified code, you can use that debugger to see exactly what the code is doing. To continue with the example of selection.attr, the implementation is here:

https://github.com/d3/d3-selection/blob/master/src/selection...

So a typical call stack would be three deep: selection.attr > selection.each > attrFunction’s closure.
Well, if judged by the criteria of "which listeners are the most accurately informed" then, yes, npr is the least biased news source.

Of course, reality has always had a liberal bias.
Exactly, we should be moving in the opposite direction: make as much software as possible user-space and sandboxed. I assume a party as large as Dropbox can request Apple to extend the APIs where necessary?
This feels eerily reminiscent of my own dilemma 4 years ago: The lack of direction and leadership coming from within Microsoft when it comes to building software, the willy-nilly changing of core development strategies, creating unnecessary risk (learning curves, time, money) by getting a developer to invest in something that might be relegated to the dustbin by tomorrow (including his/her paycheck). Worst of all, you are to find out about that fact yourself, no announcements, just silence, and vague PR about the-next-big-thing, to lead you on once more. It just felt like they were flailing, thinking up something new well before the last new thing had decent support or community behind it.

I also wondered how a programmer used to strong-typed languages (like C#) and a robust IDE/debugger (like Visual Studio) would fare in the hell that was a browser 4 years ago, the joyful world of JS (vanilla + frameworks) debugging and the always entertaining fight with CSS (in)compatibility, (where IE in particular has caused many a dev to utter a sigh).

I even made a post about it back then: https://www.reddit.com/r/cscareerquestions/comments/p1r3s/st... (and it got on here as well IIRC). It was titled "Stick with Microsoft WPF et al or jump ship?"

I ran as hard as I could from Microsoft and picked up Linux Ubuntu and Android development.
I'm a full-time Java developer now (on Ubuntu as we speak) and very happy with that.

Pretty glad I dodged that bullet.

It's widely used in US government/military. DISA runs key escrow for users' encryption keys that are carried around on smartcards.
Ironically it's the other way around for me. C is not just modern English but some 1000-word subset of modern English. JS feels like Esperanto or something- a synthetic language that was informed by English (and other languages) but is really its own thing, and was designed for a very specific purpose.

(Those are my subjective feelings about those languages, not actual analysis of any real properties of those languages :) )

The point of the cover letter isn't to grovel or lie.

It's funny that they say that because I would say, if I did call things hipster, that this was hipster. Typically hipsters are defined as people that go against mainstream. Well this is pretty far from current, popular app dev environments.
I agree with you. I was certainly t aggressive in time frame, but I still agree with the sentiment. We shouldn't have failed decade old features in a browser. As to point 1, you are correct and this is certainly true, however I wish it werent. I assume everyone on hacker news has either gone to college or is aware that a presedential term is 4 years long. Consider how much you as person changed in those 4 years, consider how much the world changed during a 4 year presedential term. China as a country sets guidance for itself, directly for its billion people, and indirectly for the rest of the world, on a rolling 5 yeat basis. I would like to challenge users (and enerprises) to upgrade their browsers over this timeframe and spend the multitude of seconds this takes them to not only increase their own well being, but the well being of developers writing the software they consume.
From the perspective of this non American, the America mainstream media seems to have more of a 'pro corporation/pro establishment' bias than anything else. Why else would it be so eager to criticise both Trump and Sanders?
Disclosure : French law is my field of work but I only have knowledge of this case by the media (which is terrible in legal matters in France, really, worse than the US sometimes).

It seems that the prosecutors are using a small clause in the French Irish tax treaty saying that the taxation rules applying to a corporation officially incorporated in Ireland are different (implying much higher than the Irish 12.5%), if this corporation has a "stable establishment" in France. The prosecutor is arguing that this applies to Google, so that paying only the Irish 12.5% was illegal.

So no, they are not being accused of using legal methods to minimise their tax bills.

The main problem is actually a even more complicated. It rests on the understanding of the wording of the convention relating to the words "Fixed installation of affairs used only for purposes of advertising (...)" (those are exempted from the "stable establishment" exemption).Google argues that their advertising business makes them exempt to it. Meanwhile French prosecutors argue this clause is intended for companies advertising their own products (imagine Tesla having an agency in France advertising the Tesla cars because they intend to open a point of sale in France, but not selling them yet), not the actual sale of advertisement space like Google do.

And frankly when reading the elements of the convention the Prosecutors have made public... they seem to have a pretty solid ground.

PS : Yay at last, being a tech fan with french legal background is useful !

Fair point about timeliness, but where did you get the idea that you're not entitled to your money back or support? From the Kickstarter page:

Scalability is like an abstract painting. It's unique to one's infrastructure. Its writing or sometimes postmortem makes good brain fertilizer. Not so much more. Beyond that I wouldn't rush to implement scalability du jour.

A setup that works for a certain service won't necessarily work for another unless yours is a very close replica. Based on my experience in this area, and I'm a performance seeking nut, each platform, and even each traffic pattern, needs its own thinking hat.

That's what makes it so fun!

I expected this to be the solution for my broken Linux font experience. In Linux there is no support for Emoji and every time someone uses them in a website to display so semi-important idea I get frustrated because the only thing I see is a blank character or a rectangular border. I thought this service was something like "discover what this non-supported character actually is" more than "discover what is the meaning of this character".

I know about the existence of alternatives [1][2] but I wish there was native support for this trend in Linux. And yes, I know emoji is actually an old thing from Japan companies, but is still a young trend in terms of western usage.

I wonder how difficult would be to copy all those images from the Apple font and create a custom TTF so I can get the fancy colored symbols in my computer. Of course, distribution of that file would be against Apple's copyright (or maybe not, I don't know) but I don't care.

EDIT1: Actually this is what I was expecting to be; I forgot I had disabled JavaScript in my browser. Still would like to have an official font with Emoji support for Linux.

EDIT2: Thanks to gtk40 I found [3] now I can create my own font with those images.

These other tests are strange given my results. I cleared browser history then reran my test. My config is Chrome browser on Galaxy S4 Active. Site loads up and is usable with something loading in background for a few seconds per address bar slider. It scrolls perfectly with no lag. Only glitch is when my finger hits a box with editable code or whatever where it scrolls within the box. That's an ambiguous situation, though, so I don't count it as a glitch.

Wonder why the results vary so much. Wait a second, I just re-ran the test on the default Android browser. Were you two using it instead of Chrome? It loads slower and lags at a few points in the scrolling. Actually, seems to scroll faster, too, in a way that makes site less usable. Could be a browser, rendering issue if you're not on Chrome.

Unfortunately, the real value of anything is almost entirely due to extrinsic factors. Air? Very valuable if you're underwater, on the moon etc.

Which human language? The one spoken by the people you need to communicate with is most valuable.

The first iPhone? Very valuable then; not today.

But some people love intrinsic value. And it's what they create that ends up having real value. They would say that intrinsic value is the only "real" value. They aren't very practical.
I complete agree. Are there that many people running performance-sensitive I/O bound apps directly out of their Dropbox? Shouldn't they contribute back to libfuse rather than reinvent the VFS, with all the (sure as death and taxes) pitfalls and CVEs that will come along with it?

> I feel like there must be some diminishing returns on making a language too expressive, implicit, and/or convenient but I don't have any real evidence to prove such.

I think it is understood that the more expressive your language is, the more difficult it is to make tools for the language. For example, Common Lisp style (non-hygienic) macros are hard to support in a debugger (by which I mean, hard to allow the developer to step through their code as they wrote it, rather than stepping through the final expanded form). Dynamic dispatch makes it difficult for tools to provide who calls and which function does this call invoke (not impossible, with some forms of static typing, but more difficult in general).
APIs and OneCampus
I'm pretty new to this and just learned some more about routing requests in a cloud service at scale. For a lot of services where the location of the resources might change (frequently sometimes), you want to handle the routing internally and not use DNS because of the lag times and complexity of TTL and caching.

For companies other than Wix I don't know what is used to handle it on the back end but I imagine it's either some specialized piece of hardware than can handle an insane load or some commodity hardware / cloud service & in-house software like here.

At the end of the day, and I'm sure I'm missing some edge cases, I think it's basically a service that provides a mapping of domain.com/user-resource-or-website to the location of their resources with no lag time when changes are made.

Just out of curiosity, which elements make C inaccessible compared to other C-like languages? The base structure is identical to the later derivatives (if/else, for, while, operators and precedence, use of curly braces). Is it the manual memory management (malloc/free)? Or is it keeping aware of a variable's data type, knowing when and when not to use pointers and references? Or is it the limited number / scope of functions included in the standard libraries? (I'm mainly curious, as C seems to be the most comfortable language to me since I've known it for the last 25 or so years).
I think they're saying they run the pipeline builds using docker containers. It's how they can build easily based on any branch. Ie. what they use behind-the-scenes, not what you need to be using. Although I'm somewhat doubting myself now...
