I have already moved my company to Proxygen. But I am still using only IO threads. Like
void onEOM(){
response = makeResponse();
response.sendWithEOM( );
}

makeResponse() is doing calculations and writing and reading from a files. It it easy to submit this call to CPUThreadPoolExecutor. The problem is that ( according to my understanding ) that call response.sendWithEOM( ) should be done from the same thread as call onEOM(). The only solution I see is

void onEOM(){
response = makeResponseInCPUThreadPoolExecutor ();
waitForResponse();
response.sendWithEOM( );
}

It would definitely help, but not good enough.I am looking for truly asynchronous solution like

void callbackInOnEOMIOThread(responseType &response){
response.sendWithEOM( );
}
void onEOM(){
response = makeResponseInCPUThreadPoolExecutor (callbackInOnEOMIOThread);

}

Ask HN: Asymmetric Encryption
On this page (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/246071) Microsoft states that:

Any message that is encrypted by using the private key can only be decrypted by using the matching public key.

Is that right? I always though, using `gpg` as a base, the messages are encrypting using public keys, and decrypted using the corresponding private key. What am I missing?
Authorities are currently engaged in playing off of one another, in a ratchet effect. Country by country, example by counter-example, it tightens -- step by step. It never loosens.

Gradually, expectations are shifted and conformation is imposed.

(Did you see anyone stopping all the Western (companies') investment and profit-taking in the early days of China's Great Firewall -- as just one, and far from the best, example?)

All the big money and influence is going towards more "controls".

Before Brexit, the EU had all kinds of problems. Now suddenly they've all been solved, apparently

Of course they haven't. But they're either problems which would exist without the EU (Syrian refugees) or problems of the Eurozone (which the UK has opted out of).

Greece had the opportunity to exit and didn't. I think because they realised that, although being in debt to the EU is bad, not being able to borrow money at all is worse.

The EU is not perfect (and the Eurozone is actually quite bad), but leaving it doesn't make it go away, doesn't address the problems that the EU is supposed to address.

To me, the dead giveaway is that nobody in the UK wants to 'own' Brexit. Farage, Johnson, Gove et al have all resigned and vanished. Why is that?
That's a whole other kettle of fish :-D
> the government [...] has the responsibility of a plan

Uh, .... are you implying the Brexiters never had a plan?
> I'm not sure declaring some "true gamerness" test and segregating people who fit your expectations and those that don't is particularly healthy.

This is exactly the problem with GamerGate. They think all games and game media are made specifically for them.
Actually guideline is charging the participant fee as 3bps, which is a percentage of assets (but this is spectacularly low). They are charging the employer directly the per participant fee.
> But the EU sees Brexit as a betrayal that must be punished severely to try and scare other countries into not leaving.

No, don't having the same deal while outside of the EU is not punishing.
This reminds me of one of the best music lessons I ever received. It was from one of the guitarists of a moderately well-known band from the CBGB's era of American music. He linked the Circle of Fifths (a basic musical concept of western harmony) to both its underlying mathematics and the more esoteric side of Christian theology. Consonance and dissonance became our relationship between Heaven and Hell. Intervallic relationships could be measured both mathematically and theologically, and both tied directly to our intellectual and emotional response to the music.

It's a short and obvious step from the mathematics of harmony to the structure of Kabbalah, and from Kabbalah to theology.
What about discoverabiliy? I doubt most users are aware flagging or favoriting comments is possible.

I consider programming to be on the same level as "knows how to properly phrase Google searches". It won't make or break your life but it will make it a degree easier. For better or worse, Google has become a means of finding information - and finding accurate information quickly is a bonus. Programming allows you to automate many trivial but time consuming tasks. Even being able to write a few functions in an Excel sheet can save you hours at your job (and yes, FWIW I consider functions in excel sheets to be a form of programming). Everyone should be able to read and write basic programs, and as you said, people can still leave software engineering to software engineers.

I've easily saved more hours automating small tasks with Javascript (w/ JQuery) then I ever spent learning Javascript & JQuery...

Now on a completely unrelated tangent, please forgive me.

>you'd be well-justified in not spending a third of your lifespan (or whatever 12 years is to a pre-industrial-age lifespan)

Average lifespan was so much lower back in the day because children dying very young was relatively common (winters and illnesses, infections from injuries, etc.). If you made it into adulthood your life span looked to be much of what it is today (living to be 60-70+ years of age). But you didn't need to be able to read and write to farm, smith, or tailor. From a young age, your time was better spent doing minor tasks like gathering eggs from the hens and helping feed the pigs. So what fraction of your lifetime depends if you mean "average lifespan" or "typical lifespan assuming you made it through the early years". :P
Holmes has been sold to us as a woman. On the other hand, there is no need to sell a Harvard degree to anyone, everyone knows that there are benefits in being a Harvard Man.
Except there's no evidence for that, it's been thrown around by the media as it's a good story but the data doesn't support that hypothesis.

Pensioners voted heavily for leave and they've benefited hugely over the last few decades. In the 1980s around 50% of pensioners lived in absolute poverty, it's now around 15%.

The vote is far more complex than can be explained in a simple sound-bite, and pretending it's just one thing be that xenophobia or worsening conditions it vastly over-simplifying a hugely complex issue where many different groups voted for different reasons.

I recommend reading Schopenhauer's Studies in Pessimism and Wisdom of Life to anyone interested in open-minded treatise of the subject so individually complicated as the meaning of the one's own life. It may sound gloomy, potentially distressed, yet, it offers philosophy that you'll not find consoling, but very helpful as you're growing your own meaning.
Optogenetics represents a huge advancement in Neuroscience as they allow us to single out a specific population of neurons for stimulation while leaving their neighbors alone. Previous technologies for driving neural activity are barbaric by comparison. I seriously hope that karl deisseroth wins the nobel prize some day.

Objects at Lagrange points L1 (between), L2 (small-body side), and L3 (large-body side), either have to continually spend propellant to keep station or use a Lissajous halo orbit around the point.

In space, the choice to use more fuel or less fuel requires little consideration. So this satellite essentially scribes an elliptical ring around the sun as viewed from Earth. If the Moon passed between the satellite and the Earth, the Moon would appear from Earth to be 4-15 degrees away from the Sun, which would just be an ordinary new moon, not an eclipsing new moon.
I was referring more to the leadership than the people. If you're a bremainer I genuinely sympathise with you.

That division of programmers is a very good model. I spent many years as a self-taught programmer of group (1) but I really wanted to do the work of group (2). I found the skill gap to be impossible to bridge on my own and went to college to do so. CS departments tend to focus on group (2) knowledge and only have a few electives for group (1). I've made several friends in their late 20's and early 30's who also went back to school to get out of group (1).

This model also works well for understanding many comments here on HN.

There's a vast, vast divide between people who can use Rails and people who can design and build Rails, and an even bigger divide between the people who can use AWS and people who can design and build AWS.

The company in the OP isn't in the business of systems engineering, they're in the business of software integration. I suspect if they were in the business of engineering they'd have a much different view of what it takes to be "senior". Because they'd be able to measure it in terms of lawsuits, audits, and fines rather than in slipped deadlines for web apps.
transcranial anything is nonsense for anything but identifying blot clots and macro structures in the brain.

entire generations of brain research based on mri activation patterns are complete pseudoscientific bullshit, alleging scientific hypothesis about neural activation can be confirmed or falsified based on macro motions of blood in the brain.

this is garbage. similarly , tdcs and other nonsense going through your 'skull' does not target what we know to be the factual cause of brain function, cellular micro structures of brain , in particular ; NEURONS.

targeting macro anything in the brain may achieve an influence the same as firing a bullet into the brain may achieve an influence on the macro structures of the brain.

this is garbage. tdcs is more garbage, but then , so is a some amount of what many scientific 'experts' call cognitive science.

that said, this garbage is not terribly dangerous compared with the overprescription of antidepressants and painkillers

i don't see why some neuroscientist is so concerned with the tdcs crowd other than the fact that he feels his legitimacy as an 'expert' is being insulted by the fake garage room engineering of transcranial garbage stingers.

and to be sure, as far as drugs go, you're still better off taking a legitimate stimulant for performance enhancement.

common sense dictates that TANSTAAFL with respect to performance enhancement. if TDCS is claiming they are providing your brain a freelunch stimulus without any come down or drawback. THEY ARE LYING. the common intution of brain enhancement is that the only way to 'enhance' your cognitive function without a comedown is to keep healthy , exercise , eat well, sleep well , and USE YOUR BRAIN like you use your muscles. THERE AINT NO SUCH THING AS A FREE LUNCH. any garage tinkerer or ivory tower idiot that says otherwise is lying or a fundamentalist ideological believer in XYZ...

That is very hard to believe consider the amount of dishonest rhetoric on display.

You did not. You said if I continue I need to GTFO. I am not engaging in bad faith, I am being honest and clear, and you are respond with ridiculous strawman attacks.

I made this move. I don't regret it in the least. What other people have written is true:

* Lower (but not atrocious) salaray
* Lower cost of living (even during the present rent crisis it's nowhere near as bad as the bay)
* (Subjective) more relaxed lifestyle.
* Gorgeous summers
* Challenging winters if you like sun. (I don't really, and even I get sick of it around Jan/Feb)

I would add John Derbyshire's 'Prime Obsession' to that, which adds a nice historical context to the issue.
I'm sorry I didn't reply to this during the conversation, but am traveling this week. IMO the short answer is that questions like "why didn't APL take off" presuppose an orderliness to history that doesn't really exist. Plenty of historical factors (e.g. market dynamics) can intervene to prevent an idea from taking off. Presumably if an idea is really superior it will be rediscovered many times in multiple forms, and one of them will eventually spark.
Beta blockers aren't great for sudden panic attacks. I took them for years, and while they're great for toning down the anxiety baseline, they don't even remotely approach benzos when it comes to mitigating severe panic. Sadly the only medications you can reasonably get out there that will address an incipient or in progress panic attack are benzos.

There are other supplements/medications that are helpful (phenibut is my goto since I no longer wanted to take benzos), but none of them are fast acting or powerful enough to stop something that's already happening.
The compiler has been fantastic emitting warnings about future language changes and I have appreciated it. The Rust compiler's messages (in general) are some of the highest quality I've seen, actually. The Rust Devs have done a superb job at documenting the changes. I'm more complaining that breaking changes to a non-beta language leave a bad taste in my mouth. Sure, they do have to happen sometimes, but it seems that this should be rarer than it has been so far with Rust.

So I haven't worried about anything per se, but breaking changes are mildly irritating to me. Without a doubt the utility value of some of these changes has been worth it (specifically RFC 1214, which was ironically one of the most major and definitely necessary). I'm not involved enough to be able to speak about other changes.

EDIT: I should also add that the software I work on professionally doesn't use any language that Rust competes with directly. Rust doesn't offer me professional utility so it's easy for me to complain about one thing and ignore all the benefits of Rust. If I were in a situation where I was contemplating using C++, Rust, or maybe Go, I think I would still choose Rust. It's far ahead of its competitors and gets a lot of things right.

First Elixir Remote Meetup
Technically yes. But I imagine that if they did everyone would be incensed and vote leave - to send a message. Whoever was in power at the time would be hoisted out in short order.
It's a gamble for those doing it. If you're willing to let them (and I don't see sufficient grounds on which to stop them) then it's pure upside for everyone else, as we learn the results. Very callously speaking, of course. And the upsides are much less when they're not thoroughly and scientifically recording their results, which they're probably not.
I would argue that Namecheap shouldn't be on that list. They send out a 6 digit code and then immediately tell you what number it begins with, reducing the code to effectively 5 digits. Their continued refusal to support RFC 6238 shows they don't take this seriously in my opinion.

Funny how the article characterizes capitalism as "late" and overly concentrated while describing the soaring popularity of augmented reality ... a technology with massive potential to reinvent and invigorate the peer to peer economy. We're more likely to be in the early days of a form of capitalism that will make its past a mere prelude.

That old chestnut
It's great that this exists. Many typical users are still befuddled by multifactor authentication, and the one thing that helps is practice. Unfortunately, by having all these islands of identity, the frequency of interaction for many of them ends up being low, resulting in users forgetting they enabled MFA and the associated recovery costs.

There have been technologies to try to bridge the identity islands -- social login (which previously created trust issues through OAuth abuse - many resolved, but trust is hard to win back), Mozilla persona and others. But, at the end, the hostility of end user identity is still a problem that needs to be solved in such a way that end users have good authentication choices (no more bad security questions, for example) with good security attributes (low replay, discoverability and guessability, for example) with good usability. Ideally, an end user should be able to choose an identity provider, trust them, and then use that identity provider across multiple services. I know that some companies are working on this, but it still tends to be in islands, rather than an industry group, for example, dedicated to making it work. At this point, a de facto standard may be the best thing.

I've been in meetings with IAM architects at large banks who scoff at social login because they don't want to trust social login security, yet their own end user security is marginal. Some honest conversations need to happen in this space to help move things forward.

Better identity infrastructure for end users will help service providers.

Understanding the Lego Monolith Architecture
Is this anti-Pole position purely something that has arisen, or is it a product of years of anti-immigrant campaigning by newspapers?
I don't really see it as a stark contrast. Pensions and social security may be accounts where money is coming from someone else in the future. But a 401k is only semantically different. You do not own your 401k account in a real sense. That money is locked and kept away from you. You can only withdraw that money according to the rules in place at the time of the withdrawal. If you wanted to take that money out now, you would be paying the penalties in place that exist today. In 20+ years from now, when you intend to withdraw, you will be doing so with the laws in place at that time. And what those laws will be are unknown at the time. The same as current conditions were unknown to partakers in pension funds and social security a generation, or two, ago.
Not for much longer. I guess then it'll be petulant Scotland punishing the UK?
