I'm using Heroku right now and have thought about switching to EC2 as it would save me a bit of money. But the reason I haven't is simply time. Heroku's Pipelines feature, integrated with GitHub, means I get review apps and automatic deploys on merge, just by clicking a few buttons. Now I know this is completely doable with AWS but the time to set it up and switch would be more than it's worth right now.

I don't see Heroku as a very long term solution for us but for the time being, while still a one-man tech team, it just means one less thing I need to deal with. Until I do ...
You're not going to tell us whether you detected anything related to this blast? :)
I don't think you belong here.
I can see a difference between encouraging you to petition your member of parliament, and encouraging you to assassinate someone.

To start with, one of the two options is legal.
Correct. I don't vote and I'm reasonably well informed. I sit on our city's economic development and planning board, and work with state legislators in our community so I'm aware of how the system works - or doesn't -irrespective of who is in office.
I've seen repos completely borked because the gui kept a merging and pushing in the background. This was after spending a lot of time removing binaries from a repo and not being able to figure out how the same binaries kept ending up back on origin.
Any examples of these threats chasing people out of industry?
Not only American norms.

For instance, some critics of extremist Islamic ideas are regularly banned in Facebook because their posts are reported as islamophobic (even if they themselves might be Muslims). This is not an American norm.
But it is correct in the sense that the insertion order has already changed.
>Well, we read from left to right, naturally that is the order of the letters

So that means "W", "e", "l", and "l" are in positions 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively? The "W" comes first?

Isn't the first position always in front of the second by definition?
Depending on whatever you like (small, medium, large) in companies, they've got it here. It's too damn hot and humid and I've lived here all my life.

I'm personally not a fan, but if you want a tech-oriented city with a huge music scene, this will be your place. Downtown prices are ridiculous (3300/month for 650ish square feet if you want to be on 6th street), but I have a nice place on the outskirts 2b/2ba for 1100/month).
Seems to be resolved now...
It certainly affects me. If I think a course is going to be super interactive I'll do everything I Can to avoid it
another way to think about high asset prices is fear of owning currency. it's not irrational given the willingness of central banks to debase money.
I couldn't fucking care less ;)

Now seriously, it's probably due to cultural differences. Is profanity that frowned upon on the US (or wherever you're from)? It's surprising how sensitive the US is towards profanity for a country where "fuck" is used extensively in media.

I literally didn't think anything about the domain but it's probably because lighthearted profanity is much more pervasive in my culture, where it's used as an emphasis tool (and less for its shocking value in media). We don't censor (beep) swear words on TV either (which BTW seems ridiculous from our point of view).

Yes, I'm not going to swear in a professional setting, but I'm not going to think less of someone for their use of words. Words are just words. Swear words don't hurt me any more than non-swear words if they're not meant to hurt anyone.

It's a simple "fuck yeah". It's supposed to be an expression of joy. How does that hurt you at all? Why would it make you less inclined to click on it? Genuinely curious.

EDIT: Also, regarding that "what if there were 5-year-olds visiting this site" point I've seen elsewhere... In my country everyone swears and children aren't traumatized or anything. As soon as kids are old enough to recognize the subtext they refrain from swearing (in front of adults) themselves.

Don't swear in front of toddlers though. They'll repeat it over and over again.
Sadly, the human reviewer at Facebook is quite likely to not have even been alive in 1972 (or not old enough to even remember the photo) and so it is likely they are just following the "official facebook policy" without thinking, and thereby hitting the "censor" button.

Note - this does not excuse their actions, but may put some context around 'why' it is happening.
I wrestled with Elastic Beanstalk 10 months ago for 2 days and had to give up in the end. Every deploy was dog-slow. And I was trying all kinds of things, imagine the frustration. Only certain versions of software are supported, though I downgraded just to test EB. But I still couldn't get it running in the end.

I can't recall a single time I had a problem deploying to Heroku, including the first deploys. Heroku is lightyears ahead of EB. Speaking of deployment, I might try Convox sometime in the future.

OTOH you can use RDS with Heroku, just be careful to have them in the same region.
How did you get started in freelancing on the side? I've always wanted to do this but struggle to find clients.
China wants a blue-water navy, and they want to keep US military bases far enough away that a pre-emptive strike is difficult. Their Pacific coast is blocked off by opposed states: South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan are protected by the United States, and while the Philippines has slipped into a more complicated situation recently, they're still quite hostile to China. It's stated Chinese military doctrine to work towards securing this "first island chain," and disable US military bases and aircraft carrier groups in the area. This prevents the United States from exerting control through potential pre-emptive strike capability, and in the long run ensures them an easy path to the Pacific.
One way or another that's pretty well established, when the Khan network fell apart after Gaddafi saw the light after Saddam's capture and surrendered his WMD program to us (and note how we rewarded him...), a key artifact was the plans for a Chinese designed highly enriched uranium implosion device, down to the factory floor level of detail, like apply this much torque to this nut, and use this kind of thread locker (e.g. Loctite in the US).

Maybe the PRC counterintelligence guys screwed up, but....
The amount of clean, bloodless violence against faceless enemies (watch any Hollywood movie) is a kind of soft propaganda IMO
Wow! The new version of V8 "…reduces peak memory consumption of on-heap memory up to 40%." and reduces "…off-heap peak memory usage by up to 20%". As the author of a large Electron app that has huge implications downstream for our users. Great job!
This will make private in person key exchange way more important. Especially as the attack vector is so cheap (software).
> look at the top 100 websites in the world; not a single one produced by Europe[1]

Did you actually read that link before you posted it? On that list there are sites hosted by companies based in Cyprus (xHamster), the Netherlands (booking.com), Poland (onet.pl, xnxx), and the UK (BBC).

It may surprise you to learn that all of those countries are, in fact, in Europe.
Being hard to find does not mean they are scarce. Also, sadly, it does not take good engineers to produce software. There are tons of average and bad engineers. They produce a lot of software.

It only takes good engineers produce maintainable, efficient, less buggy software.

Probably not in your lifetime let alone in a generation. Mosul's an issue because the substrate is not suitable for dam building (it's soluble gypsum, so it just keeps eroding because dam foundations kind-of tend to be around water) so the dam has to be continuously grouted to prevent it from failing.
Encouraging your MP to violate human rights is only vacuously legal if it is at all.

I still don't understand the gay wedding cake argument.

If I'm a baker, why can't I refuse to make certain cakes? I mean, I would never turn away a customer, but if the customer asked me to write obscene things on the cake, don't I have the right to refuse their request?

"I'd like to have a rainbow cake" "ok" "with little penises sticking out of it for my gay wedding" "no, sorry."

What's wrong with that? It's no different from refusing a straight man's request to have a cake with the outline of a nude woman on it.
gitk - it's built into git, and supplements (not replaces) the command line. It does tree visualization and diffs between commits.
1- That's certainly true, git is really hard to learn. But if you're a developer it's worth getting comfortable with it, which means not going for the "nuclear option" every time something weird happens. Someone on StackOverflow has had your problem, and has the perfect fix, look that up instead.

2- Yes, absolutely, it's good to remember that it's a fairly painless and easy process to spin up fresh clones. Though, if all you want is a fresh copy, in 99% of cases a "git clean -xfd" will do that for you (read the man page to find out what the options mean! man pages are your friend!). Though that one is generally a "pull ripcord in case of emergency" type of command, "git stash" generally suffices and avoids risk of losing data.
Just pointing out that this is now becoming a trend and you'll start seeing even more, especially for vendors just making for the high end market and with just a couple of models.

Running the risk of being completely wrong, a watershed moment has happened or will happen within the next year or two with more and more vendors doing the same thing.

People with iPhones can still use their current iPhone, if they want the new one they either continue following Apple's vision (jump onto the bandwagon) or accept the hassle of carrying another cable.

By now people should know that when Apple pulls these moves, it won't go back (it's not done on a whim and I imagine they are pretty sure people will just adapt), and it's banking on more and more people buying bluetooth headsets as their main ones (personally I've seen that trend around me in the last few years, which sure, it's purely circumstantial and not a general representation of society).

Personally I have only bought a bluetooth peripheral because I had to (hardware "requisite" - iPad keyboard), as I dislike running out of battery (use wired keyboard, wired mouse, wired headphones, etc), but the experience has made me less worried with battery life. This is where I think Apple will have to improve and make charging stuff pretty seamless.

And yes, there will be that time when you really want to use your headphones and they will be out of battery... And will have to wait a few minutes to get some juice.
> And BBC is a propaganda outlet for UK government and CNN is an outlet for US propaganda.

I disagree. Unless we say 'no news is 100% free of propaganda, therefore all are equivalent propaganda outlets', which of course is silly. It's like saying, 'no code is bug-free, therefore the quality of all code is equivalently flawed.'

The UK and U.S. governments and societies have very different attitudes toward independent news than Russia, and the results are evident. That doesn't mean I'm not skeptical and BBC and CNN don't have their flaws, but there is no equivalency.
At least our apps are now up and running again after being down.

Finally I can start focusing on the talks instead...
Now I have to wonder if this sort of nonsense goes on with their Windows and mobile (iOS/Android) implementations. Or are those OSes too different from how OSX works to be comparable?

JAVA interface tutorial for Beginners – What is JAVA interface
Dear Norway,

The US governments make us legally complicit in child pornography if we don't have automated processes to take this stuff down. People keep blaming corporations for censorship of porn-like (but not porn) content, song lyrics that get mistaken for terrorist threats, and overly zealous take downs of anything that might infringe on IP. Do you think we want our users to get angry at us over this shit? Look at the US child porn laws, the numerous governments spying under the banner of the war on terror, and laws like the DMCA. Our hands are tied and you are blaming the wrong people.

It's time to take the move away from Facebook
Dear Internet.

It’s time. We ignored their lack of openess. We looked the other way when they read our messages. We condoned their selling of our information. We rationalized their centralization of editorial and social power. But not any more. Facebook’s latest censoring of Nick Uts famous picture of a naked Kim Phuc fleeing from the napalm bombs, and even worse: Its censoring of the following discussion and criticism (even from the Norwegian prime minister), was the final straw. The time of jaded ignorace is over. It’s time we make a change towards an open social network based on sustainable technology.

theguardian.com/technology/2016/sep/08/facebook-mark-zuckerberg-napalm-girl-photo-vietnam-war

Let’s bring the social back to the social media. We are users, not consumers. For the sake of democracy, we cannot let Facebook last. We knew a change was needed, but we didn’t know how nor when. We must move to an open, non-profit, decentralized and privacy aware social network. Diaspora is such a network. A sustainable technology which will only improve with more people using it. It’s not as streamlined as Facebook yet, but everyone can contribute: The more people use it, the better it will get. Every change has some friction in the start, but if it means we finally can build a global community based on sustainable technology without a centralized power, it is undoubtedly worth it.

However, building a community is not possible alone. We need to collectively do the shift, and this is the time to do it. Find and join a Diaspora-pod at podupti.me, or join one of these directly:

For all of you who have contributed free and open source software in your spare time, thank you so much for your contributions. I have used your projects personally and at work and have not given back as much as I have contributed. You owe me nothing. I have not paid any of you anything, and no doubt while I was riding my bike, doing some woodworking, or any other number of leisure activities...you were working on a project, probably often outside of your work hours. I have absolutely no say (in my opinion) on what you choose to do with your free time, including whether you decide to spend your limited free time developing a new version...which in this case may mean that you then don't have the time to continue to bugfix the previous version. If I really don't like it, well then I better step up with some money to fund some support or do the support myself.
JAVA Abstract Class – What Is JAVA Abstract Class
> is to close your account, block social media bugs and encourage your friends and family to do the same.

Much easier said than done.

First, there is no way to 'close' your account - you can only 'deactivate' it.

I did it in July, but then I noticed that a lot of social activities - like concerts, festivals, parties, etc, are organised using Facebook so if you're not on it, you can't participate.

This is very frustrating and wrong, but that's what the world does.

I personally think that Facebook is breaking the Internet and we're just starting to see the first signs of the bad things to come out of it.

Back to account 'deactivation' - if you log in to your deactivated account, Facebook conveniently 'reactivates' your account automatically, so you can't just log in to look at your data, which of course is not yours and is the currency which Facebook exchanges for real cash.

Telling friends and family to do the same is useless - most don't care even for 1 second about 'privacy' or things like that.

So 'closing' your account is more than just stopping to use a web application. It's a lifestyle choice - do you want to stay secluded, excluded from a lot of social activities and considered an 'introverted loner' or do you go with the flow and get trapped more and more into this social experiment ...

If the ordering of the keys is not in the spec, a programmer should not assume the ordering of the keys. If none of the training material says or implies that the keys will always be ordered, why would a programmer?

The new and improved algorithm happens to preserve ordering. Future algorithms might not. The dictionary data structure does not specify order preservation so that, in the future, a better algorithm that doesn't have this same side effect could be used.
And in Seattle, given it's the current subject, if you head out to the mountains or wherever many weekends (as many people in Seattle are wont to do--indeed, it's why many people like Seattle), dealing with rental cars every weekend gets old after a while. And it's hard to put your kayak on that rental car.

This doesn't describe everyone but lots of people who live in cities like Seattle tend to want to get out of the city pretty regularly.

And to your broader point. Right. Developers can't build housing without parking on the grounds that people don't really need to have a car in Seattle. And good luck renting apartments that can't have a car registered to them. (Though people would just find a way to cheat I suppose.)
What is a good alternative for static single-page apps? What are downsides of S3?
You may be right. It's just interesting that on Sunday afternoon they have no problem showing movies where the hero kills dozens of people with pleasure but even the slightest hint of nudity or swear words is not OK.
i didnt say Americans love violence. my point is that if your tv show is targeted to adults (due to its violent nature for example) then how is allowing those words uncensored a problem?
One of the things criticised in the original article was a city requirement that they needed to build at least one bike stand for every four micro-apartments.

If people can't even store a bike anywhere, that's a problem. And as the business case for these pods is that they're for people who can't afford a bigger place, they're unlikely to want to pay for an uber that regularly.
Lots of people don't have kids, and aren't planning on it in the next few years...
I mean technically solar isn't renewable, on long enough time scales.
It's very clever, but obnoxiously slow. It's useful for code golf and as a pretty impressive party trick. But like your banker will not be impressed with your college funding plan of pulling a quarter out of his ear, this is not going to make it in any real use.

Imagine naive absolute-beginner-programmer trial division. This is worse. Now add the overhead of counting via regex backtracking and integer comparison via matching strings. A fair number of regex engines will also start using enormous amounts of memory.

AKS is of theoretical interest, but not really a "normal test." It's very slow in practice, being beat by even decent trial division for 64-bit inputs (it's eventually faster, as expected, but it takes a while). But it is quickly faster than this exponential-time method. The regex is in another universe of time taken when compared to the methods typically used for general form inputs (e.g. pretests + Miller-Rabin or BPSW, with APR-CL or ECPP for proofs).

As others have noted, "has been popularized by Perl" is because it was created by Abigail, who is a well-known Perl programmer (though almost certainly a polyglot). It's also been brought up many times, though it's a nice new blog article. I hope the OP found something better when "researching the most efficient way to check if a number is prime." In general the answer is a hybrid of methods depending on the input size, form, input expectation, and language. The optimal method for a 16-bit input is different than for a 30k-digit input, for example.
I did. Until every single possible job opportunity was in an open office floor plan.

If it hasn't become 100% like that where you are now it will be soon.

There is much more to Heroku than managed database and git-based deployments. For instance, recently they have seriously improved the CD experience with Pipelines, Review apps and GitHub sync. They also have pretty seamless integrations with hundreds of providers (email, logging, search, monitoring, ...) in the form of add-ons. You get some basic metrics on your application.

And if security is a concern, or/and you want your dynos to talk to each other, they now have Private Spaces (https://www.heroku.com/private-spaces).

Simply said they are taking the "managed services" experience to a whole new level imo.

Plus, you may not care about that, but they actually have a UI/UX team that can design beautiful AND usable dashboards.

(Note: I don't work at Heroku, just a happy user)
>No mention whatsoever of nuclear, which is by far the more practical solution. And far less ecologically damaging.

The UK's new Hinckley point power plant is both more expensive than solar/wind and puts the UK's energy generation in Chinese hands.

There's a reason why Angela Merkel (relevant: probably the only physicist head of state) decided to shift to wind and solar.
