Joyce's Dubliners is a collection of short stories, one of which is 'The Dead'. It's quite accessible, and I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to read something by James Joyce.

I also read 'A Portrait of the Artist As a Young Man' and didn't think much of it. I made it through Ulysses, but frankly half the time I could barely understand WTF was going on. I started on Finnegan's Wake and gave up after realizing that the prose wasn't going to get any less crazy.

Dubliners though is quite accessible and a very nice read.

Ahh... the AAA games. The games I am told are the best because reasons. If you can't play the AAA games you aren't really gaming.

You say you don't have a bias and then finish off by saying you are biased against Linux because it only has certain games. You only like games that are "great" because they hold an imaginary title of AAA.

I admit I am biased towards gaming on Linux. The main reason being I don't like being forced to purchase and upgrade to a slightly different OS to receive the "best" gaming experience. A gaming experience that can be had on the older systems but is deliberately crippled by the software. Hooray for Direct X!

Given this is a website by someone purporting to be providing a "blazingly fast" JS UI lib, comments on UI perf. seem pretty on-topic.

Given the general lack of info on the site about why one should choose this library over others (beyond reiterating that it's "blazingly fast"), a showcase of one's claims of speed should be a pretty important aspect of the site.

This is not to criticise the library itself, but these kinds of first impressions are significant.

This may mean Hoon once learned is easier to cope with than it looks (which I doubt, because it looks like vaguely Lisp-flavored assembly) or it may just mean that nobody like that has come along yet.

Targeting is very much possible, just as with magazines. If you have a recipes site you could have ads for kitchen tools. If you have a music site you have ads for local events. If you have lifestyle magazine you have clothing and interior ads. I would even go as far and say that this type of targeting is better then now when you go to a webshop, search for a product and suddenly starts seeing that product plastered all over the web, often even after you actually already bought the freaking product.
I work for a 'big online old media company' and can offer some insight for all of this. First up, I strongly believe our industry has dug ourselves into the hole and really fucked itself over. Daily I use an adblocker to make the internet faster and easier to use (which is ironic because I'm the one who implemented the 'plz disable adblocker' banner on our site and i see it every single day http://i.imgur.com/xQza4fS.png)

Problems with self hosting:

- It's super duper hard to change the status quo. For them, the current solution 'works fine', once they fight the supposed evil that ad blockers are. Trust me, I fight for this sort of stuff and they just don't understand things the way we do.

- You can't do as much or sell ads for as much. You can charge more if you know more data about your visitors and can sell the ads to clients under the impression that it'll reach the exact demographic they're looking for.

- For some companies, it's already too much of a chore to have an in-house dev team to manage the content website. Have to have _people_ manage all these self hosted ads is not appealing to these companies. Very similar to AWS vs self-hosting

- An image is less interactive, so you can't sell it for as much. Those big fancy ads that are interactive are sold more many many more times the price as just a single jpg more.

- If you're 'lucky' to work in a media org big enough to have a sales team, even they don't sell out every single ad placement all the time - there's a big tailed on these states they still want to monetise and ad networks helps them do that.

That aside, things are changing. Everything on our site happens over HTTPS, which is a plus. We do win 'arguments' to move things in-house and not served from an ads network, where appropriate. We have an in-house 'studio team' who creates custom campaigns and creatives for clients, and they're almost entirely self hosted.
The only downside I see with Autstore is building maintenance.

What about maintenance on a column? You have to stop the whole system, unload & disassemble part of the grid just to run a new cable or check for humidity or whatever on your structural columns.

That's the only downside I see. It's a very simple concept solving a very real issue and their motto "stop airhousing start warehousing" real hits home!
Self hosted ads would change nothing when it comes to blocking. Some ad servers allow you to proxy all the requests through your subdomain, but ads still get blocked. CSS selector based blocking is widespread and adding another `.sidebar > .ad` rule to adblock is no big deal.
True. But without constant churn alternative implementations of interfaces can catch up.

This is it. Buzzfeed can afford to not use display advertising and instead use native advertising for all their revenue, but because they have massive sales and advertorial teams.

But because everyone feels entitled they have a unique story to tell and want to start up their own media property, we have ad networks they can use to make money to try and fund it.

thx for trying, yes the formatting is bad, you should find the job with the tags and then go to that page rather :-D

truth is, not many people are using it (if i don't promote it on some facebook/forum page for that day), so i am not too much motivated to add features that may make it +5% better.
I guess i could still try, not many job offers give away the salary, while it would be nice to know.

thx again, would be nice if someone would find his future job there :) .
These are public figures who work at a non profit foundation. That same non profit foundation was used to promote a security built on the software they develop.

They raised money for this non profit by advertising a specific kind of software that is immutable. But because some wealthy investors (including themselves) lost money in the security built on their software. They are using that raised money to make the immutable software mutable.
There's no reason why the ads and the CSS for them can't be served by a small proxy application that runs on the server(s) of the site, and works by changing the name of any selector to a random string on every page load. Potentially it could also generate random DOM nodes in the HTML so xpath based blocking wouldn't work either.
It's a summary.

The combination of personal ownership of data, worldwide visibility (if you want it), and iPhone/Facebook-tier ease of use.

Right now, you can only have two of those at a time. You own your Wordpress install and it's world visible, but your mom needs you to administer it. (Not every mom is lucky enough to have a kid like you.) Your Facebook is world visible and your mom can set one up, but you don't own it (quite the converse). You own what's on your iPhone and your mom can use one, but you can't publish anything with it - you need a separate service with its own set of tradeoffs.

Urbit's USP is that it's designed to be able to provide all three, along with a cryptographically verifiable identity system that can make spamming and shitposting costly enough to be economically inviable.

All this is ambitious as hell, of course, and it's very early days yet - there's every chance Urbit will go down in history as a curious but ultimately doomed also-ran, if it goes down in history at all. But it's easy to understand why people find its design goals appealing.

> If they were going to run the whole thing in a SECCOMP container anyway, there is little damage a compromised C library could do.

True, especially since they appear to be using a traditional seccomp sandbox, which means the process really can't do much.

Based on the architecture there is no broker process involved, you simply feed in data via read() and it writes the data out via write(). It has access to two other system calls by virtue of seccomp, so your kernel attack surface is quite small - but it is there.

The "no hostile process could escape the sandbox" is not really true since it assumes a perfect implementation of each system call available.

That said, kernel attack surface is drastically lowered, as are the capabilities of the process. But it can still read and write arbitrary files - unless, of course, they filter on fd, which I suppose they likely are.

As for determinism and robustness, those are still valid. To quote your other comment:

> an already de-facto secure library used millions of times every day.

The fact that it is used often does not mean it is "de-facto" secure. How could it? You can not prove it is secure, and doing so would be a huge pain. Whereas, given safe rust, you have strong guarantees about what can and can't happen in the code.

Actually, if I think about this more, then the brick analogy is very useful - if you see someone (or better yet, some whole industry/niche) beating themselves on the head with a metaphorical brick, then this means that they have a very, very important problem and most likely if anyone came to them and told that they have a solution that's simply unpolished but solves most of the problem without hitting your head with the home made brick-solution then the expected response to this description would be "shut up and take my money!".

Ultimately, Mr. Armstrong said, “We were unable to convince them.”

Brian Armstrong from CEO of Coinbase along with some other major Bitcoin startups proposed a hard fork in the protocol to increase throughput. This proposal was to raise the block size.

The Bitcoin core developers rejected this along with a lot of the Bitcoin community as it may cause decentralization.

An alternative proposal was created that would not produce a hard fork but still allow an increase in transactions per second. A further proposal called the lightning network is in testing to allow for thousands more transactions per second that then get settled on the main Bitcoin blockchain.

In my opinion consensus won. Everyone will get what they want with out taking any risks with centralization.

The Chinese miners were right to stay on the main branch. If they had forked and the Bitcoin economy didn't follow them, they would be out of business.

The Bitcoin block size debate is like the Brexit. Only this time everyone wins.

GHC web dev considered harmful on ARM (2015)
I am so tired of seeing "things my friends liked" as essentially my only stream of posts.

I think in the last week I've seen maybe ten actual posts from friends and thousands of reactions, likes, etc. that i have no interest in.

Obligatory uBlock Origin[1] plug with a recommendation to run it in "medium mode"[2] which offers the best bang for your buck (i.e. the most that can be blocked with the least amount of effort from the user). Dynamic filtering is extremely easy to use in this mode and gives such a huge payoff in terms of what it can protect you from vs just using filter lists.

Show HN: Events for tech people slightly reimagined
We created Eventil [1] because we wanted to automate tedious and repetitive tasks related to tech events organisation. The tool was built at the occasion of PolyConf 16 [2].

Eventil helps you organise a tech event: a tech conference, a company tech talk session or a workshop. It seems easy at first, the hard part though is assembling all needed parts together. And that’s what Eventil aims to do radically better. We will figure out all the elements for you: finding a venue, providing catering options, helping select gadgets or building an agenda etc.

It’s difficult and time consuming to integrate dedicated 3rd party solutions for each of these problems separately: a possible solution should be simple and easy. It should nicely unify the whole spectrum of problems.

We wanted to share the idea with fellow Hacker News readers and ask for your feedback.

I suppose you could have a stateful adblocker that looks for the element changing between page loads, and ignores the randomly generated elements that aren't visible to the user. Of course it would only work the second time you load the page. The adblocker could load a second copy of the page in the background, and then update the DOM of the first page after it determines which elements were regenerated.
