That's not taking a swing at me. That's you swinging wildly in the air in front of your monitor. Yes, that's legal, if pointless.

As Thomas noted, attempted breaking and entering is a crime as well.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. Are you saying that unauthorized access is like breaking and entering? A better analog for the case here is trespass. You won't be guilty of breaking and entering if you enter a mall after being asked to stay out, but you will be guilty of trespass. No one is required to post guards to keep you out. Simply tell you is enough to legally obligate you to stay out.
But this article isn't about giving constructive criticism and advice. It's about those 2c opinions which are not constructive, but rather just subjective.
Yup. Sad but true.
Your experience with http 1.1 to origin matches mine. I'm not suggesting using http 1.1 from edge > origin. Most CDNs are currently doing that, and it doesn't perform well.

I should be more specific in my description: We are using http2 everywhere.

There's a single http2 connection between the client and edge (the customer could setup sharding, but there's no way for us to force it).

That edge node has a pool of http2 connections to other PoPs, and maintains QoS stats for each PoP. It'll pick the fastest path to send the request. The pool is large enough to service all of the requests that are being handled at any one time. So in effect, if the client sends 10 requests to the edge node, each of those will be sent edge<->edge over 10 http2 connections. (The connections in the pool are kept active, so there's no tls resumption delay either.)

Once the edge node near the origin has received it, there's a smaller http2 pool to the origin server.

So at the origin, it's handling a handful of requests in parallel.. even if there's only a single client making all of the requests.

I think that's a bit clearer.. I've been happy with the performance we're getting from this.. but plan to test sctp and quic later this year for edge<->edge.

Speaking as a Christian, here's the thing: People fuck up. A lot. Everyone does and yeah, it would be a great thing if people would wait for "the one" before they went ahead with the act.

Out here in the real world, sometimes you think you found the one. Other times you just get stuck in a heated moment and do something dumb. It happens. And when it happens you should be equipped with the knowledge to keep yourself safe. I don't have a problem with Abstinence, I have a problem with Abstinence ONLY because it denies people who we are expecting to act as adults incredibly valuable information for their health and their future.

I mean seriously, would you buy a car with no airbags in it and when you ask about it, the salesman says "Well just don't crash then?"

20kt at 1400 meters won't yield 6 psi overpressure. And "only 1.4 megatons"??? That's two orders of magnitude larger than Hiroshima. It took many tests and advancements to go from a fission release to a fission-fusion weapon.
Absolutely right. I was sloppy in using "interview" to mean "hiring". I was implicitly only considering the short-term case, though. I agree that the long-term case implies more fundamental problems with the organization.
I am a religious person but I don't believe you can use God to regulate hormones. The deep seated need to do what your body tells you to do is too powerful. However Religion is good for how you go about doing so for example you have a desperate need but avoid criminality around that need because it is morally wrong.
We should probably add (2012) to the title, I was confused by the comment on social media being "barely 5 years old" until I saw that.
Is there a link to the study? Do its conclusions throw any criticism towards other aspects of Bush's AIDS program (PEPFAR), such as its providing of antiretroviral treatment?

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/eugene-robinson-geor...

> When the Bush administration inaugurated the program in 2003, fewer than 50,000 HIV-infected people on the African continent were receiving the antire­troviral drugs that keep the virus in check and halt the progression toward full-blown AIDS. By the time Bush left office, the number had increased to nearly 2 million. Today, the United States is directly supporting antiretroviral treatment for more than 4 million men, women and children worldwide, primarily in Africa.

Obviously, there was more than one aspect to PEPFAR, and the abstinence aspect may have taken $1.4B on its own. According to the Wapo article referenced above, the total cost of PEPFAR was $46B. I wonder how much of the purpose of the abstinence program was predicated on a strategic angle to get Congress to approve the overall package. Because that's a ton of money to spend on humanitarian foreign aid, especially with a Republican-controlled Congress.

Well data suggests that 90% of new companies fail. So anyone who starts a new company is stupid, right?

I'm not advocating in favor of the religious people who go about preaching abstinence and spending taxpayer money on it. If I were in a position to influence this stuff, I'd fight their efforts. All I'm saying is it's wrong to call someone stupid when we don't understand all their motivations.
Did god personally told you to abstain?

Ask HN: Any good listings of freelancers and gigs?
Hi there,

so I am a wanna-be entrepreneur who does freelancing to have some cash flow. I've never been a fan of sites like upwork, toptal, etc., because either I don't have any past history there (and therefore no "credibility" by their systems) or because they ask for interviews so that I can "be at the top 3%" (really?), etc. Also, I prefer not to have anyone between me and my clients.

By my preferences, I really enjoy what we have here in HN, namely the seeking work / seeking freelancer thread, which is in its essence, a pure raw list of wants and needs. Unfortunately it only runs once a month and there's not much you can do after you publish. On the other hand, there are websites like https://djangogigs.com/ that have some small lists, but they are mostly for specific stacks and the information is scarce.

My question is if anyone knows any good freelancing websites that I can use to post my info and read about gigs without having a middle man? And what is your experience with those sites mainly with the quality of contacts you get from there?

Thanks!

The big change for this release is direct access to shared libraries. Traditionally, emacs has executed binaries directly for all its external interaction, using stdin and stdout for all communication. Now it will be able to call libraries and use their native APIs rather than just two text streams.

This had been long resisted on the grounds that this feature could be used to link emacs with non-free code.

From the ChangeLog:

** Emacs can now load shared/dynamic libraries (modules).
A dynamic Emacs module is a shared library that provides additional
functionality for use in Emacs Lisp programs, just like a package
written in Emacs Lisp would. The functions 'load', 'require',
'load-file', etc. were extended to load such modules, as they do with
Emacs Lisp packages. The new variable 'module-file-suffix' holds the
system-dependent value of the file-name extension ('.so' on Posix
hosts) of the module files.
The article didn't miss that at all. The article wasn't about meaningful feedback. It was about petty, subjective feedback that doesn't really serve to make anything better, but to make the manager feel as if they did something.

I just released my side project: JobRudder [1]. It's a career management app for the individual. It's got one click resume and performance review generation, career analytics etc.

[1]: https://jobrudder.com

I built it because i realized:

- Even if i work hard (i do) and smart (i try), a great career isn't just going to happen to me. I have to make it.

- Updating my resumes, writing performance reviews, all the career/hr tasks i dislike are necessary tools. My work speaks for itself but it needs help.

- I don't own my own career data, it's split up in all the employee engagement/hr compliance/goal setting systems i've used at all the companies i've worked for.
I feel like this is analogous to throwing the baby out with the bath water.

I think writing const-correct code where you can is useful. It helps document your code (for yourself and for others), it CAN catch issues (even if Casey Muratori claims it never helped), and it really isn't that hard to do (C routines don't need to be duplicated if you want to return non-const, like strstr, for example).

So what if you have to cast-away-const for interfacing to libraries which aren't const-correct? It still has benefits for your own code.
I don't think that's an accurate summary. If you were right than it would be a clear case, which according to the article it is not. I think you selected just one thing out of the long article. Just read the last few paragraphs, they contradict your summary:

> Despite the different interpretations of the Chinese fossil record, everybody agrees that the evolutionary tale in Asia is much more interesting than people appreciated before. But the details remain fuzzy, because so few researchers have excavated in Asia.

> When they have, the results have been startling.

> ...

> But all agree that Asia — the largest continent on Earth — has a lot more to offer in terms of unravelling the human story. “The centre of gravity,” says Petraglia[0], “is shifting eastward.”

Note that the person cited last telling you about a shift to the East is not Chinese.

I posted a comment just as you posted this, so forgive the repost of this link: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/eugene-robinson-geor...

tl;dr: PERPAR has cost nearly ~$50B all together. The abstinence aspect may have jelled nicely with how the Bush administration sees the world, but it certainly also would have been a "sweetener" in getting a Republican-controlled Congress to approve so much foreign aid for non-terrorism-related purposes during Bush's terms.

In my country, Car makers own dealerships, well actually only a small number of them, most Dealerships are franchises, so we have a mixed model that works pretty great for all involved. New makers that arrive to my country expand with their own dealerships, and after they gain traction they start to sell franchises, when well stablished car makers want to expand to new markets they usually do it with their own dealerships too.
I'm totally in the dark here. How are you interacting (legally) with other competitors during a marathon?
Do you not have any kind of registry of functions in your language where you can look up a function from a name and then call it? Then you don't need to pass in the current function to itself as it can look itself up in the registry, like any other function could (again, no special cases needed).

There shouldn't be any need for recursive calls to be a special kind of call. They caller shouldn't need to know that it is calling itself (again, lack of special casing).

This is how recursion works in languages like Java, Python, Ruby, C.
For me that just redirects to a search on google.com

This is complete BS. It's possible you got a bad interview, but this is not remotely the pattern. If it were, Google would struggle to be hiring hundreds of developers a week.
> It is not entirely your fault, unless you didn't effectively articulate what the job was. Otherwise, they took a job they knew was over their head.

It's mostly your fault. You know what the job is and what your expectations will be far better than the candidate. You should be hiring only when you are confident that they will be able to do the job.

> See point #1. Firing people frequently is a sign your interview process is broken.

Yes, that's exactly my point. "Fire fast" as a strategy should not replace "hire well". Your hiring process is entirely messed up if your strategy is "tasks risks in hiring but fire fast".

Sure, if you made a bad hiring decision, you may need to fire someone. But your hiring process should in general be filtering out poor candidates.

I bought 4 madcatz fight pads a few years ago for the purpose of retro gaming (360 usb interface), single dpad with 2x3 buttons on top, and two shoulder buttons... great layout for retro gaming. Since genesis and snes layout is a subset in both cases. I tried a couple of the retropad (sega saturn layout), but they were really cheaply built and didn't work or last long.

Spent a few hours last night playing with retroarch on windows, though will have to change to config per core, so that the layout is correct in the different cores.

Isn't that "what things look like"? Like what you see when you see a tree isn't actually a tree but the interpretation of light waves hitting your eye. It's a rendering of the light in a particular way and we somewhat casually call this "what a tree looks like". Often when we talk about the projection of a thing into some visual form we us this kinda casual language. I think to your point, any one of those methods of rendering the information into visual form has equal claim to "what the notes look like"
Ironically this conditioning has the opposite of its intended effect. Instead of becoming productive, the definition of productive is morphed and people find a way to merely look/feel productive in order to satisfy the system.

For example: if I'm getting my degree in underwater basket weaving I'm being productive because I'm going to college. If I'm at work on reddit all day I'm being productive because I'm at work and getting paid.
A lot of highly visible brands use a lot of growth hacking in games, and in my experience this is true with brands that are sub-licensed to small studios. Final Fantasy RecordKeeper, Star Trek Timelines, The Walking Dead Road to survival...they all send push notifs many times a day, have frustrating stamina/fatigue mechanics, etc. They are also all very similar to each other in terms of game mechanics.

Pokemon Go manages to surpass them all without the same kind of growth hacks because of brand, yes, but also because it's a unique and compelling experience for the mainstream.

Anyway we are literally saying the same thing :)
Thanks for this list. One of the pain points of CouchDB was management of users: there is only database-level granularity, which is not enough for many applications (and one-database-per-user may not be practical). I know that Couchbase Sync Gateway uses channels (http://developer.couchbase.com/documentation/mobile/current/...) that look interesting.

Do you know if there has been changes on this side for CouchDB 2.0 ?
We aren't talking a 90% though, we're talking more like a 99.9999%. There is not a single case I know of where Abstinence has been effective at its stated goals.

And yes if in the current economy businesses fail at a 99.9999% rate, you are stupid to start a business.
I'm talking specifically about the "tasks risks in hiring but fire fast" strategy above. If your strategy is to hire without due diligence because you'll just fire later, that's extremely inconsiderate and also demoralizing.

Yes, sometimes you will need to fire people. But the strategy should be to hire the right people in the first place.

please, HN community, downvote me to shit for speaking plain truths; pretend I said something I didn't if that helps you.

the guy said why don't "manufacturers offer standard pc motherboards tweaked for their corresponding cpu?"

So he basically means "swap the CPU socket and the ROM, rewire a few signal lines around the socket, how much could that cost?"

If you know this to be a difficult thing to do, write "that's more expensive than you think because [and indicate how you know]"

but saying "supporting full systems is expensive" is not how rational engineers move a discussion forward. Sorry if I'm too linear and making sensey for you all, but again you can easily downvote me for not helping you to turn HN into the Pokemon GO of ideas.

We did this too. We tested our DR plan at least once every year (this included busing people to a different location, timed responses etc.), and we were considered a non essential part of the bank. We also had to make sure that all our servers had dual power supplies, and were attached to diesel generators in case of a power outage. They were much more on top of it than any other place I worked.

Actually, Spacemacs layer configuration uses the use-package add-on ( https://github.com/jwiegley/use-package ) , which helps greatly simplifies and organizes large .emacs config files (and also greatly improves emacs' startup time). use-package was written by John Wiegley, created of the Ledger CLI accounting software, and current maintainer of Emacs. Emacs integration of packages with Melpa gets only a small part of the way towards where Wiegley goes with use-package. . . .
