You would think that you (in this case, "you" == "average library author in the ruby ecosystem") would, but you won't. I'm fairly confident the problem is similar, but likely worse in the javascript ecosystem.

Necessity is the mother of invention, and when you're the first person to notice a memory leak, you're on your own.

Both ecosystems tout the low barrier to entry as a great benefit, but memory leaks, mostly benign inefficiencies, and poor algorithmic efficiency becomes at least par for the course if not a crippling liability when reality hits your application like a freight train (or say a 2 order-of-magnitude spike).
Even in 2010 when they started, air bookings didn't have enough margin to pay a decent commission. Flights gets people in the door, but you need to sell them a hotel to make money.
It took me a while to figure this out.

I also grew up with italian espresso and I always wondered why all these crafty, specialist roasters (all over the world) can't do a drinkable espresso and always end up with undrinkable acid in a cup.

A lot of italian espresso blends are a mix Arrabica/Robusta. Robusta beans create the sought-after strong/bitterish italien espresso flavor and probably also reduce/mask/balance the acidity.

Robusta beans according to the crafty roasters are low quality garbage, and they only care about arrabica beans. Clever marketing by the arrabica industry? Robusta beans have a bad reputation because they are majorly used by cheap coffee brands - but not all robusta beans are the same either.

So because third wave/hipster coffee shops only do arrabica, but italian style espresso needs a blend. That's why we can't have a good things.

I simply order espresso machiato when i want an espresso, the bit of milk foam reduces acidity to an acceptable level.

There is a longer article somewhere on nytimes about this topic. can't find it anymore.
It is only perjury to claim that you are the owner or qualified to act on the behalf of the owner of the copyrighted work that you allege is being infringed upon. For instance, if you are some random person, it would be perjury to file a DMCA takedown for a legitimately infringing video on YouTube of Steamboat Willie, because you are not Disney. It is not perjury (under the wording of the DMCA) if there is a video titled "Willie and his Steamboat" which is of a child playing with a toy steam boat and does not contain any footage from the Disney video, if you legitimately are authorized by the copyright owner of Steamboat Willie (Disney).
Many customers will still choose airlines they like to fly. For instance, I filter Spirit Airlines flights, even if they are offering the lowest fare.
As a fellow ham, I have to say: guys, guys... it's ham, not HAM. Other than that I totally agree with you.

The (VHF and UHF) ham bands will send data a few tens of kilometers with good messaging bandwidth. Here in Seattle there's a Monday-night digital net through a repeater on the Columbia tower where folks send text messages and some (slow) photos on 444.55 MHz. Typical speeds are like 9600 baud.

As you mention, when you go down to the HF bands like 20m you can transmit and receive around the world, but there's far less bandwidth. The tragedy of the commons is right on.

I've operated PSK31 (which runs at 31 baud) worldwide on 20m and it's pretty much a chatroom. You can get a lot said with that, but you certainly won't be browsing the web.

It would be cool to play around with connecting 2.4 GHz local wifi meshnets with ham repeaters at ranges of say 50 km. Then you'd have nice fast local communication with reasonable long distance. .

Most Indian restaurants do not serve common Indian cuisine; no average Indian consumes saag paneer or "paneer tikka masala" on a regular basis. North Indians, on the other hand, have things like daal regularly; daals in Indian restaurants in the US suck almost universally. I haven't even seen a restaurant that serves rajma.

Maybe South Indian food is different, but I haven't had good North Indian food anywhere in the US.

I'm not sure I agree. I think the whole idea of a flâneur or "surfing" the web is that you choose where you go. There's an illusion of control.

The whole click-bait industry depends on you browsing within walled gardens (facebook, reddit) and being on the conveyor belt of places your attention has to go.

A flâneur or surfer can just go somewhere else. There's only so much physical real estate you can own. There isn't exactly another facebook or reddit to go to...and if there is, BuzzFeed is all over that shit too.

Basically, the internet has driven the minimum cost of advertising/branding down to bit-transmission prices. Anybody basically can afford to throw shit everywhere and see what sticks.

It's messy out there...

We have quite a good UI/UX team in my opinion, but there's a lot of surface area to cover. If there's anything specific you think could be improved upon feel free to open an issue. :)

It's also the Most Object-Oriented database: it combines the data and the procedures to access that data into a single encapsulated object. An exemplary design in all respects!
Sounds like a good system! Does it really eliminate the possibility of any detonation, though? Seems like you could still potentially get enough stuff together to exceed critical mass. The explosion would probably be smaller than nominal, but more than the 4lbs TNT equivalent that the US military specifies as its criteria for one-point safety. But perhaps I overestimate the chances of this happening. I'm far from an expert here.

Same, looks like a great combination of extensions I might use! But then I see no open source and permissions requiring all sites I visit and it becomes pretty hard to justify? Why not just permissions to the new tab page? I mean I might install it on a separate profile but seems a large blocker to me. [EDIT] My dumb mistake, it blocks selected sites so obviously needs those permissions. Unfortunately too broad for me.

But we have much about which to be humble. It's always the sort of thing where - if we can do it and it causes less harm ( and we're dead certain that this is true ), then do it.

The shock from "All Cared..." is - what stability? Which equilibrium? If we choose them, how do we defend our choices? Obviously, nobody was doing this 70,000 years ago ( at least presumably not consciously ) and here we are, so...

To a single-digit approximation, all species are extinct. Is it hubris to think we're smart enough to keep from destroying ourselves, or that we're powerful enough to destroy ourselves?

Suppose we add Pigou carbon taxes. Does that mean poor people suffer more? So can we exempt them? Then isn't that sort of ... Empire-ey, the sort of thing a 19th Century Brit like Rudyard Kipling wrote about?

I find the various anthropic principles to be of good use for this sort of thing.
One point is that you often don't really hear about the people who care enough to avoid much "social media" and cloud services... because they're avoiding many of the tools by which they might talk about it. They're also relatively uncommon, and if your friend group pretty much requires use of social media tools to stick together, you're not going to find them.

At the moment, I use GMail, IRC, a Matrix server I set up for my hackspace, a couple of niche forums, and a niche social network. I'm in the process of organising some hackspace servers to provide email hosting, so hopefully I'll be able to switch off of GMail at some point. The next step after that would be some form of cloud file hosting.

I'm not overly privacy-conscious though - I've used Tor once to see what the fuss is about, and I don't have AdBlock or NoScript installed. But at least I avoid explicitly putting my data in the hands of companies I have no control over as much as possible.
For why this is not possible even in principle, have a look at https://static.googleusercontent.com/media/www.itasoftware.c... (a really fascinating doc)

Me too. I think eclipse is too complicated for a college student who's just upgrading from text editors or BlueJ. Netbeans is still my go-to IDE for prototyping stuff or writing simple stuff that dont need me handling multiple branches at once. The only reason its not my main IDE is the lack of workspaces and/or multiple instances (I did make it work once but its too tedious to set up again).

One of my favorite analogies is that Netbeans is the iOS of the IDEs and Eclipse is the Android. Eclipse supports way fore features than Netbeans but Netbeans "just works".
While there are certainly people that go into extreme amounts of student loan debt due to picking prestigious colleges, I don't think that is the real crisis here. Isn't debt also increasing for the vast majority of college students who are in whatever the middle-quintile of average students are?

I think a student from a middle class family (meaning loans and not grants) should be able to attend four years of an in-state college, get a full education, perhaps work a part-time job but also have time for the kind of valuable extracurricular activities that are a part of the college experience, and graduate, without going into an unreasonable amount of debt. But it sounds like the reality is that that amount of debt, for that scenario, has climbed quite a bit.
That's actually fascinating. I wonder if anyone has background on this...any comments I see are in Japanese.

ISBN 9781430265719: "To get the current date/time information, the EPID manager requests a real-time OCSP (Online Certificate Status Protocol) response from a trusted OCSP server, which was endorsed by Intel. The response contains the current date/time. The EPID manager saves the date/time (baseline) in a file in the kernel’s secure storage and calls the kernel’s Start timer function that starts the timer. Later, when the EPID manager is verifying the validity period of a certificate, it calls the Get current timer value function and calculates the current date/time by adding the kernel’s returned value to the baseline. The EPID manager requests a new real-time OCSP response every 30 days to calibrate its timer."

Right, the process never really claimed to "tame" foxes. It is an experiment in selective breeding. Which as a goal aims to end up with domesticated foxes.

Selective breeding does mean that you take undesirables out of the gene pool, in this case, turning them into fur to be sold which further funds the experiment.

Maybe in 10 or 20 years when this is further along I would be interested in seeing how a Fox would do as a pet.

Interpreted languages can have pretty high memory overhead. Let's say we have a page in python or php or ruby or whatever, and it needs to fetch 1,000 rows from a database (100 things here, 20 things there, whatever). Each row in the database can be turned into an object several times, one from the model, one from the controller, one for the template/view. On top of that, each object is a composite key/value object of let's make up 10 fields, so that's 20 PyObjects or whatever. In Python an empty PyDict uses up 280 bytes. sys.getsizeof({}). so 1,000321*280 = 17.64MB. That's just a back of the envelope theoretical minimum, include bad coding (for another few multiples), pages that require more data (analytics/stats/reporting pages), and concurrency and you can get up there!
Great read. What's more, I found out that my company's codebase was still using the broken 3.3.2 version (code fix in the works).

Manual build triggers for GitLab CI are possible with https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/ci/triggers/README.html

In my taste the shell snippet that is infrastructure specific should like in a small repository. An example of that for us is https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/runbooks (although that is more process since we try to keep the code generic).
Sadly I don't think that's true. A first year CS undergraduate would not be writing code that triggered a compiler bug, the real problem was most likely your code.

I suspect you had an error in your program, an off-by-one or other type of overflow, that caused the stack to be executed. Compiling without debug would mean that the code executed was harmless, compiling with debugging symbols (the -g option in gcc) enabled caused a different memory layout, which triggered an attempt to execute data that contained an illegal instruction. Since in debug mode comments are included in the data segment, adding a space to a comment further changed the memory layout making the error innocuous again.

// EDIT After thinking about this a bit more, I'm not entirely convinced by my explanation since comments aren't included in the debug symbols. However, I still think it's more likely that a debug (versus optimized) build had different memory layout, and therefore different behaviour in the presence of a stack/heap smashing bug...?

In New York, which I'm most familiar with, most licenses, including firearms are required to be kept for a minimum of 6 years after expiration or renewal. (See: http://www.archives.nysed.gov/records/retention_mu-1_public-... )

To be honest, I don't really care about concealed carry. I personally think that it's a dumb thing to do, but don't have an issue with anyone else doing it.

But if licensing is required, you shouldn't have any special privacy right. If my dog license is available to whenever asks via FOIA, so should your carry permit.

Yes the dug up bodies were from men who died during the expeditions first season, which had actually gone pretty well.

Unfortunately, they anchored the ships for the winter, shortly after those men died, in pretty much the worst place possible, on the western side of King William's Island.[1]

This is a spot where all the pack ice from the north west flows to, forming a huge towering jumble of ice. They fully expected their ships to be iced in for the winter, this was normal.

They expected to get underway again once the ice cleared in the spring.

But the winter was exceptionally harsh and the ice so thick that they remained trapped for much longer than they expected.

[1] Known as King Williams Land in those days, the remaining portion of the northwest passage, ironically, was just to the south of where the doomed ships were iced in. It would be John Rae (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Rae_(explorer) ) who would truly discover the final link.

I just mean doing due diligence before you buy something that it will actually be able to do what you intend to use it for. I wouldn't buy a laptop with non-upgradeable and insufficient RAM. I don't think most consumers do that. They just buy a brand name because they can't be bothered learning how it works or what they actually need.

Of course I have tradeoffs to deal with... But yes, I do have it figured out. Thanks.

Excellent! I've always needed a way to interact with the type of people who make Youtube comments!

Seriously though, I get what they're trying to make a play at - the small communities that spring up around content creators based on a certain topic. It's clearly a shot across the bow of Facebook pages which can embed videos in a feed as well as post discussion pieces, etc.

I would've personally liked to see them do it a bit more robustly. This and other platforms allow for creator - consumer interaction, but not consumer - consumer, and I think that's a differentiating strength of content creators on Youtube. Take it from being a copy of a Facebook page, to a sort of hybrid Facebook page/group with one leading creator and then interaction amongst all the consumers of that content. It could've potentially recreated the forums community feel using an existing set of communities as the kickstarter for the platform.
> Secondly, I'd argue that there is an element of "you get what you pay for". I pay alot more than the average person for access to news, and I strongly believe that this is true.

I'm probably missing something but it seems like every app I use on iOS is basically an island. Even among Apple apps there seems to be different UX guidelines at play. To me iOS apps feel a lot like flash sites in the late 90s/early 00s in terms of the variety of interfaces. So it doesn't feel out of place to me. The only thing jarring for me is how bright red it is. Not a fan of that.
