The article doesn't even skim the surface on the underlying reasons why packets get dropped. First, unless you're using some snazzy QoS the router doesn't care if the packet is UDP, so why is he even talking about UDP in the first place? Does he not realize that TCP and others are just as likely to get dropped, TCP just automatically resends.
Ok, here you go:

1. That which is hateful to you, do not do to another.
2. Do unto others what you would have them do to you.
3. Never levy a punishment greater than the harm of the offense.
4. Avoid direct conflict with anyone who will kick your ass.
As someone that's lived (and hired people) in both low-cost and high-cost areas, the pay doesn't scale the same as the costs. There are tradeoffs for those areas that go beyond the costs. Usually people think of climate or culture but there were a couple other non-obvious ones that I ran into:

1) Companies that are doing well and growing in a low-cost area tend to suck up all of the available talent in that area, and they need to relocate or increase salaries to incentivize people to move there.

2) Low-cost areas generally have fewer jobs for highly educated and highly skilled people, so as an employee I'm taking a huge risk by moving there. If the job doesn't pan out or the company takes a dive, then I may need to move to a different area to find another job in my field.
There's a reason you're getting the same old advice from Reddit and everywhere: it's good advice.

Your hair status does not define you.

Get in shape (it'll act as a keystone habit and enabler). Work on everything else. Fake being confident (but not cocky) until you are confident. You'll do fine with the ladies.

I think if you reread my top comment here you'll see me disputing the premise of your question. They funded R&D, much of it at private firms and more still at university CS departments, and orchestrated the installation of a not especially good backbone connecting (mostly) universities.

The thing we use today to watch movies on was built entirely by private companies, responding to the market, which detected and amplified user feature requests nobody even took seriously back in the Gopher days.

It's not just that the Internet of 1992 wasn't especially good: that Internet also solved an easier problem than the one we have today. In particular: more of the work could be delegated to leaf networks, and less expertise and capital was required to provide some semblance of a backbone.

I also object to the tone of this Jacobin article, which strongly implies that the backbone was somehow deeded over to telecom giants. That's false. I was the lead technical employee at a regional ISP in the 1990s, and made friends with many employees at our upstreams and at other companies. Lots of scrappy little companies rolled up to create the regional networks that were eventually consolidated into the giants we have today. Anyone who wanted to go all-in on rolling a regional network into a backbone provider had a shot in the 1990s.
Curious why people here hate 9 - 5 so much. I can understand starting a business if you have an idea you're passionate about and you're confident you can make you more money than you can make working for someone else. But most software development jobs actually allow you to have a lot of autonomy (flexible hours, work remotely, etc), a place to socialize with people who are likely going to have a lot in common with you and good pay with a nice safety net. Venturing out on your own and starting your own business has none of these things.. at least in the beginning, you are likely going to work more, for less money, by yourself. I understand why the small subset of business owners start their business for the reason I mentioned above, but I get the impression a lot of people working 9 - 5 are just assuming the grass is greener on the other side...

Uhh, that's not how it actually works. Now, if you want to limit the tax break to some set of things the government actually does anyway then I think you would be hard pressed to find donors unless they did more than the government. At which point your only limiting it to the same kinds of things (ex: new roads) not the exact same things.

I wouldn't say that Gruber et. al treat their users as sheep, I think Jobs was infamous for taking it 'too far'. I think it's just that the level of thinking about design that Apple puts into things is neither necessary nor sufficient for a successful product, but it is treated as such by the old-school Apple developer community.
"it becomes publically accessible 20 years later when the patents expire" I'm about 90% sure this is the opposite of how patents work. You describe the methods in the patent, and in exchange you get to use or license it for the duration of the patent. It's publicly accessible but not usable, which is a useful distinction. Without patents there wouldn't be an incentive to disclose.

I'm not sure how this contradicts what I said. Your experience showed that the business was not contributing anymore to your paycheck than the normal wage. Had they not been breaking the law, they probably would have fired someone due to the "extra" expense.
Thanks. I think this seems to be the general consensus. Just do more interviews. Luckily the job market allows for us to do that now. I just wonder if I can push back the other interviews for jobs I care about that I have scheduled already.
Very nice, do you plan on adding a data-sharing layer on top - like sandstorm does?

Instapaper did not have a developer product that I'm aware of. It was a one-man product run by Marco Arment, and as I understand it, a successful one, but not successful enough to start employing a team of any real size.

It made most of its money through app purchases as the app was never free, and a small amount through subscriptions for a full text search feature that sold to a small group of the most active users.

I may be wrong on this, happy to be corrected. I'm going mostly off what Marco has said on his podcasts "Build & Analyze" and now "The Accidental Tech Podcast", which I have listened to on and off for a number of years.

Pebble can do all the notification actions (replying to slack, archiving an email, etc) that you mentioned! Any action that shows up in the notification shade on Android gets sent to Pebble.

I stopped contributing too.

I'd add

- overly opinionated mods - a question can be clearly popular, useful and have some exceptionally good answers, but still get deleted because some new mod decides years later it's not a proper question. Similar happened to cause the removal of the whole of onstartups.

- No attempt to manage time and versioning. It's not a duplicate when all the answers refer to a previous OS or language version.

On documentation, I really don't want sub-topics (such as say C++ preprocessor topics), especially those with many, ordered by votes. I'd prefer one of the more "traditional" documentation layouts, but with social aspects, such as voted comments, and perhaps crowdsourced explanations. So for me great idea, poor implementation - lose the format built for Q&A and try again.
Are you really CGP Grey? If you are, it is amazing that I run into you on HN.
If a link in the path cannot handle all currently requested packets (in whatever protocol) then one of the endpoints needs to decide what to send and what to delay/drop. It can do this randomly, sequentially (youngest/oldest) or try to be smart about what causes least impact.

A few systems I saw would, in this case, heavily favor dropping UDP on the assumption that the applications using it can handle dropped packets in stride; plus, dropping TCP packets only causes more traffic in the short term due to retransmissions.

In this case the drops could have nothing to do with buffer sizes -- UDP packet can still be dropped even if it is the only UDP packet in a large buffer.

iTunes Gift Card Code Hack Generator 2016 No Survey
I've worked in 5 different companies that slowly winked out, liquidated and became a zombie, downsized (closed office), sold the product I was rebuilding, and bled people and funds.
If you're thinking about the company in relation to you. My friend's wife was employee #3 and had shares in that company (it's more than 6 years old), when the company got bought out, she got less than a year's worth of salary. So having shares doesn't give that much benefit. You already have a stake in the company, if it got bought out, you get some money from it, but it's not as rosy as they want you to think. Consider that company shares are Hail Mary's, if it takes off, you're good, but don't count on it.

If you think they won't lay you off, Just think that it's a business, if it thinks that you cost more than it's worth in the long term (they might stop development and try to sell as is) they'll lay you off. There are many cheaper replacements in India vying for your job.

4-6 months is quite short (if you consider the standard 3 months to find another job), I would suggest that you start notifying your networks that you're looking because you don't want to be in the position of not having work while interviewing, it takes a toll on your morale and it'll show in the interview.

The purpose of your job search is to open your options and have a safety net. You don't have to accept offers, but if you do get an one, that's when you decide whether to cross the bridge or not.

Memberhub Review: Should You Buy It?
You likely won't even get to meet him and explain since he's thrown your "shitty" application in the bin
Somewhat off-topic, but what always wondered me is that why we don't have something like BitTorrent-IP or FlashGet-IP, where you you can split stream into independent [stream-like] segments and wait for them separately, retaining sequential structure. I.e. TCP with separate channels. This would solve many problems with 'site stuck in load-progress' when some item near </head> failed to arrive and now entire <body> canot be rendered because we wait for that retransmission.

I know HTTP2(?) and/or SCTP moved in this direction, but seems no luck.

Imagine the utilities had to deliver water at an increasingly high pressure, every year, or you would be furious and frustrated. So, in 2000, they're running at 5 psi.

By 2005, they need to be at 50 PSI in order to keep you happy.

By 2010, you expect 250 PSI.

By today, you'd not be willing to tolerate anything less than 1000 PSI.

It is false. There may be multiple ways to ask a question. There may be multiple answers.

StackOverflow does not delete duplicate questions i.e., there is a builtin support for asking the exact same question multiple times in various ways.

The system supports more than one answer. The accepted answer is not necessarily the best answer (whatever it means) — try http://stackoverflow.com/tour

In contrast, there is a single article per title per language on Wikipedia.

Very cool, typically when I hear 'talk show' I think of something that's going to be released on a regular interval (daily or weekly) is Netflix moving away from it's bulk release schedule for shows?
What. The. Ass.

Okay, minus another couple points to me for not testing each case more than once, and yes, if you're going to present syntactically valid code and ask people to "fix" it you should probably state what it's supposed to do, but aside from all that... the hell?

Okay, having Googled the logic behind this behaviour, I still think it's stupid. My next question is - is being aware of little language gotchas like this really so important? It really bugs me that about all I'm good for in the employment market is making computers do stuff, but I'll never pass an "esoteric language behaviour test" in anything - my tastes are too diverse and I've never gone "all-in" on anything. But I don't think it gets in the way too much - you keep your changes modular and test frequently, and if it doesn't work right you figure out why. Which corners of the language you tend to bump into depends very much on your coding style (for instance I try hard not to mutate things which is possibly why I've not hit this before), so even with a brand new language you should be able to get going pretty quickly.

Surely I'm not useless?

ghshephard changed the conversation talking about the position of alcohol in the ranking "of substances" by destructiveness. You might think that he meant "of substances that are either alcohol or LSD," but given that he can't think of any reason why a heroin addict would be harmful to others I think he had a wider interpretation in mind.
No. To the best of my knowledge there is no kickback (they did give us a Panera box lunhox and a totebag...).

Like I said the sales pitch convinces them how awesome it is and how it saves money. I also think the fact that a lot of the online stuff can automatically be graded is appealing to some profs.

I also think that some people are not that tech savvy so they don't see the downsides of drm that are so clear to most of us that read hacker news.

Said question was also flagged as a duplicate, of the other two questions I had gone through to get there. Anything simple enough to be answered is marked Ada duplicate, and anything not duplicated doesn't get answered..

I really tried to follow here but I just don't get it. Having a "become" concept in the language/framework seems pretty arbitrary. The whole "become" example in erlang is just a language demo. You would usually have subtle variations of this same code with various different intents and it would be too obscure to define each separately. For example some "become"-s would have context state, or they will be temporary, or for the purpose of pooling the underlying process/actor data structure. Just "become" is not an appropriate name or abstraction in most real world cases.
Your reply has been Cursed to Hades for not being stack overflowy enough, even though it was the accepted answer, and has received hundreds of votes.
