Looks like a helpful project.

Having said that the clustering is often not the hard part with rabbit, well configuring it at least.

The more difficult issues are keeping it clustered amidst your typical day of network hiccups in cloud environments, as rabbit can be sensitive, preventing mnesia from going out to lunch, and as far as scaling goes certainly it can't go without mention proper planning, including queue HA strategies and ownership.

Since rabbit doesn't just scale each queue across all boxes in a way that distributes load, a smart team will use several queues carefully plotted onto specific hosts that own each queue and carefully replicate that to a small number of other rabbits but certainly not more than a small amount of other hosts and never the whole cluster.

For these reasons I have to think that this would be a nice addiction to aid in setting up clusters and maintaining a fleet size, actually scaling and operating a high volume rabbit cluster this would only be a small tool in the toolbox however.

Without knowing the whole picture of what kind of workload birthed this approach it makes me nervous to think rabbit would be managed by autoscale, prone to its deciding it wants to replace pieces of the cluster at any time, different high volume queues landing on different hosts, mnesia deciding it doesn't want to play ball anymore etc..

Possibly it's for very volatile workloads, none of the queues are HA, and this plugin forcefully does a hard reset of rabbit to recluster it when something goes awry?
> What should happen is that devices and software should assume overscan to be off and then maybe allow for manual correction.

And then people think your device or your software is broken. Most people, if trying to debug something, are going to assume that the TV is not the part that's messed up.
In F1 the previous generation engines was limited to 18k rpm by the regulations. They could go higher, and since they always went up to the 18k, it's safe to say it provided the most power, otherwise they would have shifted before.

There's not an objection to the list per se, but terms like "pro" and "expert" have real meaning. "All you need is one link to become a pro in some area" is a bit insulting to everyone's intelligence, and isn't true for any widely-recognized meaning of the term "pro". It detracts from what is otherwise a well-intentioned curated list of learning resources.

I don't consider upvotes/downvotes by themselves to be moderation or censorship. That's just non-verbal communication.

However, when an upvote or downvote system hides a post or promotes a post, then it's censorship, because promoting a post necessarily hides some other post.

i'm not saying your experience is untrue... just that facebook haven't done a great job of this for everyone at all.

That is true, but at least for engines, it's a fairly safe bet, that if the engines goes beyond 12k rpm, it's build for speed.

That said, I suppose this differs depending on wether or not you think of the gearbox as a part of the engine (CPU) or not.

Economic liberties means choice and competition in a market without state-enforced monopolies. US healthcare costs are an outlier because the state enforces insurance cartelization. Obamacare was a gift to insurance corporations, forcing everyone to buy their product. It's inelastic demand at gunpoint, so of course prices are going up.

Look back at the history of healthcare to see economic liberty in action when we had a workers' self-organized healthcare. People formed friendly societies, worker cooperatives, and lodges creating a welfare system that was organized from the bottom up. It was well-organized, affordable, and voluntary.

That all started to change as progressive legislation was introduced in the guise of social reform, which built up the state capitalist bureaucracy and slowly eroded people's rights to self-organize and provide each other with mutal aid. Instead people were forced to depend on the centralized state/corporate welfare system. And here we are today, and things are only getting worse.

The healthcare crisis is a problem of artificial scarcity, enforced by the state regulatory regime which upholds the insurance monopoly and suppresses people's rights to self-organize.

> The large corporation and centralized government agency do not exist just as discrete individual organizations. Beyond a certain level of proliferation, such large organizations crystalize into an interlocking system. Even the small and medium-sized firm, the cooperative, the non-profit, must function within an overall structure defined by large organizations. [1]

That's how democracy works. It's also why I'm an independent: people must earn my support. That's not "crying", it would be a systemic change to crony politics of the rank-and-file that have ruled for decades. That's why this movement is so powerful.

No one else has earned my support yet other than Bernie. Being a party mook is nothing to be proud of. When she was campaigning for Barry Goldwater, Bernie was getting arrested protesting for civil rights. Hillary has not earned the win anyway, it's all based on superdelegates whom many declared their support before a single vote was cast. That's anointment not election. She's feeling the Bern I assure you, or will be soon because she has an enthusiasm gap outside of Wall Street. I wouldn't work for Hillary's campaign even if they did pay me. Dirty money as far as I'm concerned.
Understanding the motivation and decisions that led to an end result allows you to better gauge whether they're likely to, say, change their stance on a topic, or other decisions they're likely to make going forward.

For example, I submit that it is extraordinarily unlikely that Microsoft will actually end the Win10 upgrade program on July 29th, because their primary goal is to migrate as many people away from their aging older platforms as possible, onto a platform they can find ways to monetize into infinite incremental upgrades.

Future Leipzig: The Incredible Shrinking City (2015)
In my experience, Facebook primarily shows me boring memes (probably because they get liked/shared a lot) and often buries generally interesting news (births, etc.).

By the way, I believe that some filtering might be necessary. It seems that when I joined Facebook there were far fewer memes and 'folklore' posts (we have a nice word for that in Dutch: 'tegeltjeswijsheid'). But that would be a user-trained filter, which is not interesting to Facebook.

So, I agree with both camps: we need filtering, but Facebook's filtering is rarely good, because it's not aligned with my interests.
I'll second this. This book hits upon most common security vectors. It's amazing how few developers know what csrf is and how to defend against it even now.

Indeed, the fact that the depth isn't immediately obvious is probably one of the best indications that it isn't a fad. Fads tend to be based on things that are shallow and ephemeral. The advent of synthetic space is anything but.
Oh no, I offended the scientific valour, better shoot me some rigor-mo'roll.

I didn't say the study is bunk. I said that looking at performance differences as significant without reference to the 30/30/30 effect is extremely misinformed. What I should have said is that the study's "interpretation" is flawed. That would have sounded more rigorous.

I couldn't agree more with the sentiment. It seems absolutely insane to sell a TV with a certain resolution and then make it very hard to actually use all the pixels.

Unfortunately on many devices it can be very difficult if not impossible to activate a pixel perfect display mode. Developers can't expect people to buy a new TV or track down obscure and poorly named settings on their TV so we are stuck with overscan.
Yup! Their additions to the algorithm are actually super simple, it was really surprising to me, its just very computationally intensive on the front end.

I am not an entrepreneur (I don't even play one on TV), but I've been in a fair few startups. The way I've seen it work is:

You are dead in the water. In a month you can't meet payroll. But you have revenue growth and potentially data to show that you will eventually break even. You need bridging financing. Go to your investors and ask for it.

They may think that your growth potential is not enough. That's totally fair and is their choice. So what they are going to want to do at that point is write down the loss. So you aren't really hurting anybody by bankrupting the company.

If you are intent on continuing beyond that point, make sure that you get agreement from all your investors that they don't mind. Likely they won't. If they do mind, press them for that bridging financing. They can't have it both ways.

After you have washed yourself clean of the original investors, you may actually be lucky enough to find new investors for your new company. As long as the gap between the previous company and the new company is not too long, you might be able to keep your staff (but make sure to properly terminate them so that they have reasonable choices).

The very first startup I worked in, the founders were miracle workers. They ran the company into the ground, eating up something like $20 million. Their investors gave up and wrote off their loss and the founders found another $2 million from someone else. They ran that company into the ground. Then they got agreements from the staff to work at a new company doing similar work (a complete rewrite!) for a cut in the action (something like $100k each as a signing bonus). I think they got $10 million for that. They ran that company in the ground, but by that time had such an impressive reputation for raising money that they could easily get money for new startups.

It sounds insane that you could run the same company into the ground 3 times (spending tens of millions of dollars... much of it as their own salaries) and come away with a good reputation. But remember that as an entrepreneur you are as much of a product as your company. As long as you are seen as a mover and shaker and as long as it looks like you are taking appropriate risks, you will simply just make yourself look good by keeping the deals rolling.

But of course, whatever you do, make sure you have a good lawyer. Pay special attention to what they say because it is incredibly important to get the legal side of it right.

Good luck!

>Is there something i'm missing there, or were my systems just not configured correctly?

I find this whole line of reasoning disingenuous. A prompt doesn't make something to be 'designed securely' - sure it helps, but the same mechanism used to provide security prompts on a VM is applicable to providing security prompts on a 'proper' OS - whether your particular implementation of Machine, virtual or otherwise, has implemented those prompts (correctly), be damned.

Basically your whole argument boils down to "I like VMs and that's why we should be allowed to write crap inside them". No. I'm on the "old fart's" side here, although I'm pretty young myself (my peers are full of the class of idiots like yourself) - the semantic web was never meant to be an app distribution platform. We did NOT upgrade to html5 so that we could have more cat videos, the whole point of the internet was to build networks of data, not networks of incredibly crappy newspaper articles.

Consider that Google probably would not have had as much success today if the web were an app consumption platform, first and foremost. "But Google's Dead, Facebook and Apple!" you cry - well yeah, good luck with that, when you have 20 crappy apps that don't work and no way to find a solution to the crap the idiot hipsters have shoveled on you, how are you going to find a solution to your problems again?

What's interesting is if you extrapolate this out to the future. This would be more accurately stated as "the hardware we were building five or six years ago only needs updating now".

Now, there's obviously different needs that drive that, but what worries me is what it means for the PCs built now.

It's entirely possible that we've seen the last full refresh of hardware we'll ever see. It's not inconceivable to imagine that today's hardware will now never be less than good enough, unless VR really explodes. And that's far from a given.

If a PC five years ago lasted five years, it's quite possible one today might go 10-15 years. At some point, the new box market is going to slow to such a crawl, and be so commoditised that it's not worth anyone's time building new ones at scale.

I suspect this is what we're starting to see in the mobile device world too as part of the reason for the slowdown there. Everyone has a smartphone, and mostly now they're good enough. Replacements will increasingly require either massive jumps in some area (battery life most likely), or device failures/damage.

Not nearly as much as intellij. However the "linting" in this case is really just highlighting for compiler warnings and errors which are quite good in Rust. That said, you can use clippy (https://github.com/Manishearth/rust-clippy) to get some pretty solid static code analysis as a compiler plug in.

Also, I am very closely following the progress of the rust intellij project, it's coming along nicely.
