> Stress is always on - always. It's the survival instinct that can be reduced but not turned off.

This idea goes back decades ago to Hans Selye. He even postulated that there are optimal levels of stress that promote the most well-being - not too much, no too little. These become sort of self-evident when you think of the need to exercise and so on.

Voting for a third-party candidate is a vote against Trump and Clinton.

There are "serious ramifications", to my mind, under both a Clinton or Trump presidency. Neither is any worse to me.

The best outcome of the upcoming US Presidential election, as I see it, is an eventual "major"-party winner having such weak popular support as to cause their party to distance itself from the President. A Trump or Clinton with no popular mandate and lack of support from their party is what I'd certainly like.
Wii U though? Seriously?

Well no, most of them have Clinton up by a few, and adjusting for their historical bias, by a little more than that. See

Hypothetical:
Candidate A is a genuine sociopath and serial killer.
Candidate B was indicted for tax-fraud, but got off for BS reasons.
Candidate C runs a non-profit and loves kittens, but has no chance in hell of winning.

I don't want to vote for A or B. I want to vote for C. But if by not voting for B, A gets elected, that's partly on me.

This isn't our exact situation, but if you genuinely believe one plausible candidate is better than the other (even if still bad) and you vote 3rd party, then you're wasting your vote.

Whether Gary Johnson gets 5% or 12% of the vote isn't going to fix the two party system. If you want to do that, you need to start at the local and state levels. Just running a candidate for president every four years is for publicity and messaging, not because you're ever going to win.
His name doesn't appear in either the Excel 97 flight simulator monolith credits, or the Excel 2000 "dev hunter" driving game, so he may have joined the Excel team after that, or they may not have been exhaustive lists.

With my dad being an airline pilot and having grown up in the "pilot community" I must say that this style of living is probably by far the exception rather than the norm.

My family, and all my parent's friends (most of which were pilots or air attendants), all had what you could call normal a house with normal lives etc. etc.

By most means life was pretty much the same as anyone else.

Ah, that makes more sense. I don't think that's an issue unless there are no "jumping on points", and if there's one thing Marvel is good at, it's creating artificial new starting points...

And there's lots of jumping on points coming up, with Dr Strange, Spider-Man Homecoming, Black Panther and Captain Marvel having mostly characters new to MCU and seemingly being relatively disconnected. Thor: Ragnarok might qualify as well depending on how they do it. Ant-Man and The Wasp might too - there's not much of the back story you need to catch up on.

Marvel has a large enough stable of characters to keep on churning out new standalone movies for a very long time. Though they'll need to start dipping into less well known characters, their ensemble movies and TV series will presumably let them test characters.. Then give the top performers sequels...

If they manage to get back control over e.g. X-Men and Fantastic Four too, they'll have characters to draw on for the next couple of decades at current rates...

At which point they can start all over.

The rampant ageism in the industry is a real problem but everyone is focused on gender equality in tech right now. I really think both issues need serious attention.
I remember how confusing IO was in college. Even the implicit flush requirement to show stuff. Utter dread. Few years ago I read an old lisp book (something written before Common Lisp), they don't touch IO until the end, for transparency/bootstraping reasons, and since it's insignificant for thinking it's a straightforward model without fancy features, I wish people taught CS this way.
I'm not doubting that what you say is true, but I wouldn't necessarily draw a simple cause-and-effect arrow between a single fasting event and your improved long-term health. The fact that you even began a fast suggests you became increasingly conscious of your health at that time and were looking for ways to improve it. Perhaps you also decided at that time -- maybe even subconsciously -- that a healthier lifestyle with better eating and sleep habits would be in your interest. In other words, there is a correlation between your fasting event and your improved health, but not necessary a direct causation.

This reminds me of the reasoning used by a lot of people who've made the link between autism and vaccines. "My child was vaccinated and shortly thereafter she became autistic!" Yes, but children are also vaccinated around the age when the first signs of autism become apparent.

Human minds are incredible pattern-matching machines. Unfortunately, they're so good at it that they often deceive themselves.
Introducing “Ask a Female Engineer”
As a native English speaker, I found my self reading it and then having to back-track by a few words to say them aloud in my head to discern the intended meaning as it was the sound of the words that was important, not the meaning of the word shape.

Ask HN: Git Issues Email Report Generator
For those that are in software development teams, and use github or other VCS' to track issues. Do you have a daily generated report email that shows the current state on each repo (total # of open issues, closed issues, in dev, etc.) and who is assigned to them and their status?

I'm part of a large software dev team and we have a custom built solution that does this but we are kind of scaling out of it and was wondering are there current solutions out there that do this? Ie. an app that's onprem and plugs into your github enterprise and creates scheduled emails about specific repo's you set.

Would love to know what other teams do to get more visibility about current issue status in a quick manner.
Why are you going to lose Advertiser money? That's bogus.

Why does Google profit from HTTPS over HTTP?

Amazon.com (HTTP) redirects to (HTTPS), via a 301 - that's Permanent Redirection.

This also isn't Mozilla, but Chrome.

And honestly i don't even know where to begin, but you should look into HSTS, and the vulnerabilities that exist transitioning between the two modes[1],

as well as looking at the issues (data bleed, etc) that happen with a http+https web and mixed content.

Finally the bigger issue to ad rev is likely to be cross origin content rather than https.

and, er, semantically there's a gulf of difference between "Not Secure" and "Insecure".

Also, arguably, the shift to a https first web is what's helping us shine light into bad CAs and deeper audits that are finding the esoteric bugs -- so it's only a good thing, in the long term.

I was on a bus with some bacon flavoured peanuts. I read the ingredients (which was thankfully in English; most of the package was in Russian) and noticed it had no actual bacon.

Two of my friends on the bus were vegetarian and one said, "oh yea, smoked paprika. That's used in a lot of vegetarian stuff for bacon-type flavour." They then precoded to try some bacon peanuts.

> perhaps young people could be bothered to leave work (which will in a lot of cases cause illegal employer push back) and vote.

If you're going to make an argument about widespread illegal activity, please provide some evidence of that. While there are isolated cases of this happening, there is scant evidence that this is widespread ('a lot of cases').

Remember that, in most states, it's not that you're allowed to take leave whenever you want in order to vote. It's that employers must ensure that you have sufficient time during polling hours to vote (ie, if your shift starts at 9AM, and polls open at 6AM, they have satisfied this requirement). If you do not have sufficient time outside working hours to vote, employers may not punish you for taking time to vote. (Note that this time may be paid or unpaid leave, depending on the state and nature of employment).

The reason young people don't vote is not because of insufficient time off. (If it were, youth voting rates in states like Oregon and Washington, which allow by-mail voting, would be dramatically higher than they currently are. As it is, they're higher than other states, but demographically-adjusted nowhere near what you would expect if insufficient time off were the primary driver of low youth turnout).
A "No Vote" could basically just be what remains after considering voter turnout[1]. But historically I don't think anyone looks at it that way.

For example, in the 2012 presidential election, Obama received 65,915,796 votes (51.1%), Romney received 60,933,500 votes (47.2%) and voter turn out was 54.9%[2].

--

Adjusted for "No Votes", the percentages are:

Obama: 28.5%

Romney: 26.4%

"No Vote": 45.1%

I just spent the last week migrating our dozen micro-services over. It wasn't too bad, and resulted in less complication as you can now have one internal and one external lb rather than one per service (and less security groups, DNS records, etc.).

The only real difference is that you now have to configure routing and target groups.

Most other manufacturers in contrast to Apple do not only sell these overpriced "flagship devices" which few people really need these days but also offer devices in a more reasonable price range.

The biggest problem is that others often copy stupid or customer unfriendly decisions Apple makes, leading to a lot less choice if you want to avoid it.

This is also one of the reasons I have really grown to dislike convention-over-configuration approaches.

Boilerplate code sucks, but there are ways to minimize it, and when something breaks you can follow the path through your code to see why.. you don't have to try to discern the interaction between the framework code, your code, defaults/convention and values you do have configured.

By voting for a candidate, i'm adding to the number of people that supported them. I'm adding to the number that can be looked at later to see what the american population supports. I'm adding to the percentages that will alter what future politicians will base their platforms on.

I can't do that when I don't believe in the vast majority of what either of their platforms are based on. So I'm not going to vote for either of them.

The commenter right above you expressed the same issue, and I wrote a longer reply there. But it's not that I don't think syntax is important, but I don't think we should pretend that the value in learning to code is learning the syntax. What I'm reacting to is "coding" programs that seem to eradicate any semblance of forcing kids to confront hard problems in favor of presenting them with trivial exercises for the sole purpose s of claiming "they can code."

I do have one thing to say about housing in Japan. It does look extremely bleak, but I think the looks are deceptive, and much of it is actually of quite a high quality. The way it was explained to me by a Japanese person is that everything is designed with earthquakes in mind. Anything extraneous might fall off in an earthquake. Any decorative features, fancy light fixtures, or signage are excluded.

Note that in some places, county isn't very useful for anything voting-related, and completely useless for down-ballot. Here in NYC, each county contains dozens upon dozens of polling places. And then each of the US House, state senate, state representatives, and city council have oodles of their own non-matching districts that don't match 1-1 with polling places either.

Getting any useful information about down-ballot races when there are thousands of separate races in a single media market is essentially impossible. And that goes doubly for the primaries, which are really the only races that make a difference here.
> No vote is an option we've always had, it's just not voting

No, it's undervoting. Not voting (not casting a ballot at all) is very different from casting an empty ballot (or casting a vote of no confidence).

The difference is massive. Undervoting demonstrates active disaffection with all available candidates. Refraining from voting entirely demonstrates apathy (insufficient interest) towards the election at hand.
You are surprised the FDA responded honestly to a Freedom of Information Act request?

The FOIA request was a request to the FDA from Bloomberg for the FDA's investigation on Castle. It was used by Bloomberg to write the article. The Freedom of Information Act is only to request information from a government agency. To uncover the fraud the FDA physically visited Castle. They were tipped off by a disgruntled former employee. Without the tip off there is a extremely small chance they would have ever been caught.
Tiny Lisp computer
Yes, I think you are right. These were two very well-off people who basically had a meal ticket to success and accomplishment but chose a different path. I don't think it's because they were 'attuned' to suffering moreso than anyone (it doesn't take a genius to realize the world is a horrible, cruel place) but rather their immense mental faculties took up so much of their mind's resources that their well-being and emotional intellect suffered. At least, that's what it seemed to me but we will never know. Neither left a note.
The bluetooth connection/protocol is a standard, though. I would be happy to be proved wrong but I don't think it's the case. They didn't mention the issue(i.e. `we fixed this well known issue`) in the keynote either and I doubt they would not take credit for a such achievement. The chip seems designed to handle the connectivity ops (i.e. switch between mac, iphone etc) and noise cancellation.

Bluetooth is simply not the right tool for multi-channel quality audio.
I wouldn't use it, but it's still an improvement over unencrypted data. This requires an active attacker to do anything, whereas unencrypted data allows a passive attacker to eavesdrop.
It's similar to Rust's transfer of ownership. Rust is compiled so you get a compile time error if you try to access something you can't access anymore.

Check the code at http://rustbyexample.com/scope/move.html and run it (inside the page). There is a commented out println towards the end. Comment it in, run the code again and see the compiler error.

The history of conceptual modelling
Pulsar dev here. There are certainly many similarities with what Kafka provides, though we made some different choices, especially for the storage layer.

The design has been heavily influenced by these traits: multi-tenancy, millions of topics, strong-durability, geo-replication, low publish latency (even when reading at max IO capacity), maintaining consumer position and, finally, operability (we need to replace machines, shift traffic and increase capacity seamlessly, without any user impact).
