I wonder if that's an age thing, I'm 36, I've been programming since I was 7 and seriously since I was 14 (I say seriously since that's when I started doing stuff people would pay for) and I rarely use a debugger.

These days I mostly program in PHP (it's where the money is locally and I actually don't mind the language, it's come along well) and use the excellent FirePHP (it allows you to put fp_log($foo) (fp_log is a wrapper around it I wrote for terseness - it also checks local context so that I don't leak debug stuff out into the wild accidentally) and $foo is then passed to the browser via headers (you need a browser extension to make it work but it integrates into the console) that does for 99% of the debugging I need to do, the 1% is when I fire up XDebug, I like XDebug but I've found over the years that printf debugging solves the vast amount of problems since they nearly always trace back to a faulty assuming about what $foo contains at a given point and it's (at least in interpreted languages) way quicker to just whap a print(foo) etc in there and see.
I find demagogues like Trump (and his fans) love to blame people who possess sincerity and empathy for their own idiotic demagoguery.
You can call it whatever you want, but if you make uncivil arguments, it's a fact that:

(a) your posts are going to get flagged, and people are going to see that they got flagged, and your "anti-racist" comments are going be penalized, often farther than the racist ones, and

(b) you're eventually going to get banned from the site

You can huff off to Twitter like the rest of the cool kids when that happens, but I'll observe that there's already a sizable contingent of cool kids claiming that HN is a bastion of misogyny and racism, and Lobsters is no closer to taking over the world for their efforts --- would that it were otherwise!

I guess I would sum this up as follows:

This is a real problem, and it doesn't have to be about you.
> Can you explain this to me please?

In theory, criticizing a country and country's right to exist are different things.

In practice, usually people who are most vocal critics of Israel don't think it should exist in the first place.

> displacing native peoples from their homeland to do so

Which is an ugly half-truth. To put things in this way would require either ignorance of the region's history or some ugly dose of bias.
Daniel, have you considered the other point of view? These comments affect members of HN differently?

Well, that's your opinion. Support that garbage like I do at work, and your opinion will change.

Again, popular does not mean good to me. That is the point. I have seen Outlook peg processors and waste disk IO with all those features.

I hate cloud services, but they keep such things minimal and some of us pray for mandates of no-fat client email, even to spite myself, because of Outlook and Thunderbird users.
I've thought about building this a million times. For the people that don't understand it, it's web UI managed Jekyll that takes those web changes and puts them into git/github (presumably GitHub) so that you get the auto-deploy feature of Jekyll based GitHub pages. Kudos and good luck.
I don't do speed reading, I vocalize. As I am Brazilian, I only read English books to practice my second language.
I noticed that I improved my listening and speaking a lot, just reading. The improvement was bigger than usual when I read The Lord of the Rings, that has a rich vocabulary. I think this is because I sub-vocalize when I am reading. Speed reading also don't give me pleasure.
Regarding Progressive Matrices, you could try comparing Japanese and Chinese, who use kanji; Koreans, who use hangul, which is derived from kanji; and Vietnamese, who use the Latin alphabet (albeit with a lot of diacritics).
This goes for most (almost all) recycling programs.

Recycling programs are a worse than a waste of money since you are using up some of people’s limited support for environmental causes. This would not matter if we did not have some really huge, long term problems that we need to deal with that we are not doing enough about.
Are the high-bush blueberries you're talking about commercially propagated cultivars, or wild? Ours are native/wild, and none of ours grow that large.

The fact that commercial berries are picked too early is definitely a factor in why store-bought ones are so bland (like tomatoes, and so many other crops that have to be shipped).
sure, that saves you from dumping TLB state - but you still need to save register state, copy data from a user supplied buffer in to a kernel-owned device-mapped buffer - wiping L1 data and instruction caches in the process.

For 99% of use cases this isn't a problem, but if you're trying to save every possible microsecond, then it definitely does.
Bhyve-bootable boot environments
in practice you will bind a single core to each NIC and then run a single polling thread for each networking core that runs with rtprio enabled.
I think I read somewhere that it used to be standard practice to go to the eye doctor (or glasses-monger?) and just try on pairs until you found one that worked, rather than getting a laser-precise eye exam. At the time I thought it was a terrible, backwards idea, but it makes sense in this context. Getting an affordable, almost-fit pair of glasses is probably a lot better than no glasses at all.
I believe I can read nicely formatted easy fiction at about 500 - 600 wpm.

I also believe, through experience in professional environments, that I'm at about the top of the bell curve in terms of reading speed in my native language. I don't meet many/any people to the right of me on a day to day basis. My position is not that surprising: while I didn't get to start coding at 5 like some people with early access to computers, I certainly got to start reading early: my parents effectively had a library of books, we had frequent and regular trips to the library as a child to pick up a stack of new books each week or two (it was considered a treat), and I was repeatedly being told to stop reading in polite company, turn the light off and go to sleep, etc etc etc.

This speed slows down significantly for technical articles, and I've often told people they should get used to having to read some 5 or 6 times, and shouldn't feel stupider/behind the pack if they have to do so. If they don't have to do so, it suggests they either already have experience with the material being presented, or its not that dense/new/hard/original. Most people in academia/corporate aren't reading/understanding the articles anyway, no matter what they say, which is of course our society's dirty little secret: image over doing...

Anyway...

My conclusion is that speed reading (significantly beyond this speed barring all but MAYBE in the rare case of cognitive/physical mutations) is effectively bunkum, because I've never seen it: and yet it just keeps popping up like a kind of zombie-myth that just won't die.

I've also found you quickly get into the comprehension/read-speed debate with "speed readers", to which my general response is actually very similar to programming algorithm efficiency: You can't speed up a computer, but you can change the amount of work it does. If your definition of speed reading is lowering your comprehension, to me, "lowering comprehension" is just another way of saying "not reading".

So i'll say that again as a rule of thumb: if your comprehension of a piece is dropping below the 100% you'd achieve normally, that's not called "speed reading", its called "not reading".
What's missing from this is their fairly innovative product marketing decisions:

They put full descriptions of their products, very comprehensive, out on full display, including pricing.

Not only is pricing transparent, but it's not profit maximizing in the short run ... prices go down over time.

You can sign up with a credit card and get going.

Most companies, like Oracle - would have put this product behind a wall of idiot sales people and obfuscation.

I've been using AWS since the start and I've never needed support - not a bit.

This part of their operating paradigm should not be overlooked. It was a very gutsy decision to just throw everything over the fence and let 'whoever' use it.

We take this for granted now, but it could have been another way entirely.

Many other established companies still have not gotten the memo.
This is really neat and they are generating the book covers based on the computer programs. Well done demo of the software.
Ah, the age old question: Is "intolerance of intolerance" moral?

I'm not sure the answer.

I am sure that it's a lot easier to be tolerant of "good-thinking people, than bad-thinking people. Surely everyone can agree on that :)
Until we sequence them, we will not know for sure how similar they are. Fun to be connected across the ocean by similar blueberries!
We need more Zero-Days. The bureaucracy of white-hat "notify the company first" has been used to delay all sorts of huge vulnerabilities, while giving nation state actors sufficient time to exploit before they're publicly patched.
I do a lot of work for k8s on AWS (e.g. I'm to blame for the original under-the-hood document). I agree with most of what you've said we need to improve on, and we are working on it! We added a bunch of ELB configuration options in 1.3 and we'll likely complete the ELB feature set in 1.4 (it probably would have landed in 1.4 but for my tardiness in doing reviews). In addition, there's a well-known "trick" where you set up a service using a NodePort and then set up the ELB to point to that, if you want to go beyond what k8s offers (e.g. if you want to reuse an existing ELB etc). What our docs are lacking, we make up for with an excellent community (for AWS discussions #sig-aws on the k8s slack).

The debate between automation vs simplification is one that has gone on since k8s 1.0 and likely will continue to be had. But I think to an extent it is a false choice: I created a new k8s installation/ops tool (i.e. did work on the "automation" side), and out of that I got a fairly clear road-map for how we could simplify the installation dramatically in 1.4. In other words, some of the simplification you ask for comes by embedding the right pieces of the automation. k8s is open-source, so I have to persuade others of this approach, but I think that's a good thing, and I'd hope you'd join in that discussion also (e.g. #sig-cluster-lifecycle on the k8s slack).
are you Steve? I read a similar story a while back!
Richard calls it "GNU/kWindows" (like GNU/kFreeBSD); I wrote an article with his input a while back:

This requires root, or physical access, and enables take over of even deeper systems (UEFI). Did I understand that correctly?
Agreed. Still not sure what it does.
Alexa information service ("AWIS") was billed as AWS and precedes SQS. It just doesn't remain in the AWS fold. (see https://web.archive.org/web/20050504101424/http://www.amazon... )

That's pretty much what I did. I bought a super cheap pair (0.5 SPH) at $5, split the lenses and placed them over each other until what I saw at a distance was clear enough to read. I added up the SPH (they were 0.5 lenses, I ended up overlaying 4 pieces - so 2.0 total) and bought the resulting glasses. That was about 2 or 3 years ago and those glasses are still perfect for me.
Awesome, I'll take a look into all that! This doesn't look too bad. Do you know if you can combine the masters/minions? Our environments are VPC isolated, and we support ad-hoc creation so I'd like to keep server count requirements to a bare minimum.. The current from-scratch guide says it is not necessary to make the distinction between master nodes and normal nodes; and the api, controller, etc appear to be hosted as pods. This makes me happy and makes sense, but then you have something like this which has me confused: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/23174 .

On a side note, it's pretty awesome how Docker embedded the key-value store into the main binary. Appears to reduce complexity quite a bit.
At first I was excited by bash for Windows but I am still not switching. You know why? Malware. Ransomware. I have many layers of defense from various harm (OpenWRT router, uBlock being the two most important ones) but the biggest defense I have is that Windows programs simply do not run on Linux and the Linux market is not big enough to bother with.

And I know many of you will say, oh that's not a problem, it never happened to me -- I will say good for you. But I need my work computer to, well, work, constantly. Yes, fighting a broken Arch Linux after an update is bad but not as bad as fighting a downright malicious program.
That comment has nothing to do with "visual polish". Instead, the screenshot is showing a syntax error apparently being accepted as a correct answer, and I don't think that's something the author has seen.
Things can be completely normal and still horrifying. No matter what section of the status quo you bring up, there will be someone who despises it.
Business doesn't last long if the only goal is profit and money. There has to be a meaning that transcends the financials. In terms of the businesses, the end goal was progress in the science and engineering these companies pioneered.
I don't think many Spaniards would feel exploited on the higher end of the bracket. Salaries in Spain are not in sync with those in SV (neither is the VC scene), and Barcelona does have a lot to offer in quality of life.

Thanks for the feedback, though, it's always useful to get a honest reaction. I'll keep it in mind.
You could just as easily argue that environmental effort is not a zero-sum game, and that recycling gives people a sense of ownership over the environment and increases their appetite for more important efforts.
"Legal standing and economic accomplishment go hand in hand. Always did."

That's pretty lame, "The rich can buy a verdict." Even if that were true, that would be a bug not a feature.

"world of equal opportunity were individual work and merit make all the difference"

straw man
That's an interesting idea. Do you find it works equally well with non-fiction and fiction?
What would you mark as the worthwhile ones?

Personally I place high value on raw material recycling. Even if it's more expensive monetarily, so long as it uses less resources it seems worth it to me.

Aluminum cans are currently recycled more than any other beverage container in the U.S, which is good for business and the environment, says the Aluminum Association, because making a can from recycled aluminum saves not only aluminum but 92 percent of the energy required to make a new can

You actually did not address how being against Israel's right to exist is equivalent to anti-Semitism, which was the intent of my question.

Or simply disagreement. 'Bias' implies that your perspective is not itself similarly influenced by bias.
First hand observation is sufficient for some conclusions.
Inequality of productivity is obvious.
In order to equalize income, those of greater-than-average productivity would have to have some of their wealth redistributed, ergo less free.
It's not rocket science.

From the article:

And perhaps surprisingly, the data indicated that “the vast majority of pieds-à-terre are middle class,” Mr. Miller said. “They are owned by people who have a studio in the city and a home in the suburbs, or maybe it was their first apartment that they chose to keep and rent it out.”

What does middle class people becoming landlords have to do with the rich?

Insofar as a flat is being rented out (as many of them are, according to the article), it's not even reducing housing supply.
This is why I have two separate SSID's, one goes to my 'trusted' VLAN of home devices that have access to the rest of the network - the other goes to an 'untrusted' VLAN that has access to NOTHING except to pfSense for routing (and any access to the pfSense admin page is blocked from that interface since it's only bound to the other VLAN).

MY stuff (desktops, cell phones, laptops, game consoles) goes on the first, everything else goes on the second (guest devices, appliances that are less than trustworthy and have no reason to touch the rest of my network, etc).
I don't see in the article that she won but this is different. She was posing for a photographer with the understanding it was to be used for an ad but they never got a release. It doesn't matter she was in a public place. The problem lies in that she was hired for one thing and it was used for another.
Serious question, what's wrong with Thunderbird? I've used Eudora, Netscape Messenger, Thunderbird, Outlook Express, Outlook up to 2016, Mail, Gmail, Squirrel etc etc. I use Outlook where I _have_ to, but TB is a constant across all my systems. IMAP support is great, search is fast, I rely on Google to filter spam. Thunderbird is one of those apps that doesn't need extra work or new features, it just works.
The title was incomprehensible until reading the post. I was wondering what a "Climb Mount" was.
yep, you are pretty clueless.
+1, the book is excellent. It's substantive and illustrates something akin to a pivot for a large, at the time ailing company

Sounds like fairly bog standard home automation. You should really not want to mess with the thermostat much, but I can see it's a renters shortcut when your dealing with a single temperature zone which seems reasonable.

Everybody's got kids, mortgage and fear :)

Fear prevents dreaming.
Israel is a Jewish state. Some feel that it is held up to unreasonably high standards vs. the rest of the world.

Would you call the US aggressive and hostile? Would you call Russia aggressive and hostile? How about China? UK? France? South Korea? North Korea? Iran? Iraq? Lebanon? Turkey? (The list could go on and on)... Are these countries in the same situation you describe, i.e. fighting for their survival?

What exactly is the criteria to be considered aggressive and hostile? What would be a reasonable response to various security threats and hostile actions of others? If you apply that criteria fairly - that's fine. If you single out Israel, and filter the events to suit some agenda, maybe not so fine.
I've always thought with strawberries that the flavor was inversely proportional to the size.

Modern China Is So Crazy It Needs a New Literary Genre
ever heard of code signing ? Maybe MSFT could use some of its 23 BILLION dollars of yearly profit to test some of the programs and conditionally approve them if they pass muster, also based on the historical reputation of the signer (like ebay feedback). Then if they contain sleeper code or other exploits, the keys are pulled, updates are pushed to ALL users of the program that revokes the key, thereby preventing mass exploits

Come on, you're talking about the biggest and one of the oldest technological conglomerates on earth. They could fix the ecosystem if they wanted. But since they dont care about users, they'll wait till google does it for them and then sue over IP rights

I think these programs are a legacy of a past era where the costs of manufacturing glasses was relatively high.

But the suggestion that cheap glasses should be just put in racks is simplistic. Getting people sort of okay glasses isn't acceptable. My vision is asymmetrical, and using the same power lenses would leave me with a debilitating headache.

There should be a few standard cheap lens patterns so you can mix and match.
What they did at the time would still have definitely been illegal. Probably not any more illegal than it is now. I doubt they'd be prosecuted, but breaking into any system is illegal.
Serial DDoSers tend to have about the same level of computer knowledge as your parents. They just buy/rent botnets or pre-made software and templates to spread botnets.

And that's for the people actually hosting the botnet or "booter" (which seems to be what the parent poster found). Most of the time, it's one more layer down: just some kids paying for the right to enter an IP to DDoS temporarily.
You can run them on the same box just fine. There's nothing magical about any of those processes.

However, using dedicated masters (by which I mean mostly kube-apiserver) separate from worker nodes is a good idea to avoid high load impacting the API access.

(Just keep in mind that the Kismatic packages I referred to won't support this — you can't install kubernetes-master and kubernetes-node at the same time. But as you discovered, you can run everything except kubelet as pods. On the other hand, kube-apiserver needs a whole bunch of mounts as well as host networking, so to me it seems like you don't gain all that much.)

What is this Docker key-value store you mention?
I'm assuming nothing of the sort.

According to Robert Putnam, all else held equal, racial diversity causes social tension. If causing social tension is a valid argument against something, this should be an argument against racial diversity.

http://archive.boston.com/news/globe/ideas/articles/2007/08/...

http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1467-9477.2007.... (sadly it's paywalled)

So we are faced with the following choices: a) you can oppose racial diversity AND inequality because both cause social tension, b) you can oppose neither (for this reason, at least), or c) you can be logically inconsistent and therefore incorrect about something.

I choose (b). What do you choose?
Don't blame the companies. Blame the politicians that make the laws.

Another example of this stupidity by governments is making gambling illegal due to "morals", and then hosting a government-run lottery. Clearly their motives are not morals, but money.

Get involved with politics and get the laws changed. In so many of these cases, the laws are so poorly written that you could drive a truck through them.

I'll bet the anything Google did wrong here (legally) is minor at the most. Check back in a year and down-vote me if I'm wrong.

Costing more money is a measure of how many resources it's using. So more expensive is almost by definition more wasteful. The resource might be more human labor than natural resources but it's still something valuable that could better be used another way if there's a cheaper alternative.
I up-voted this because it highlights the legal issue so clearly to any of us techies.

Clearly the tax has to be paid somewhere, and I'll bet every jurisdiction has an argument why theirs is the right place to collect it. No wonder tax or trade treaties take so long to negotiate.
A lot of participants quit a year ago when Amazon began issuing 1099s so participants would pay tax on goods received.
