I'm shopping for a personal injury lawyer. How to pick? The two referrals I got didn't pan out. I don't know any lawyers. Aha, search the court documents to see who the winners are!

I (finally) consulted my paralegal friend. He made the same points you have.

Additionally, he said the courts all use different IT systems. One could use an expensive service to do the search, but it's hardly worth it for laypersons.

Too bad.

I did start to wonder if one could data mine the filings, just to see who's getting the most cases, and maybe infer something actionable from that.
Public IPs are about $10/each on the market. If you're running a serious service, $10 is a fairly small cost, so you just buy whatever you need. IPv4 exhaustion has mostly affected people that were getting addresses for "free".
I thought you aren't supposed to brush the teeth shortly before eating, especially when drinking stuff like orange juice.
I am curious, though, when you say "they" are importing their horrible toxic culture, who are you referring to? Not individuals necessarily, but are you referring to all San Franciscans, including those who were priced out of their childhood neighborhoods and are looking for somewhere else to live?
I'm more on the Quake side of the Quake/UT split.

Also, why did the dev have to pull crazy hacks to make 3d performant on the PS2? I mean, if he was trying for something particularly impressive, or xbox-level graphics, sure, but the PS2 was built for manipulating polygons. It was, in a very real sense, the last console that was so aggressively optimized for one use case.

If you want to get ASP.NET set up on Linux, I'd recommend using ASP.NET Core instead of Mono at this point. There's a tutorial on developing ASP.NET Core on OS X with VS Code (https://docs.asp.net/en/latest/tutorials/your-first-mac-aspn...) which will work just fine on multiple flavors of Linux, too.
Scaling is comparatively easy when compared to generating the amount of usage that actually requires scale. So it's pretty much a waste to think too much about it in the beginning (note that I am not granting permission to be sloppy).

"Stole" is very misleading. Yes, their billing system had a bug and charged a bunch of customers in error. But DH handled it very well, were very transparent about what happened, refunded all the money (of course), and even went so far as to reimburse people that incurred overdraft fees.
I'd say it's more like most mobile devices don't have IPv6 period, at least not here in the US. Every time I've done or seen network tests on a phone on the major cell carrier networks here in the US, there's been no IPv6 to be found.
Wow. I know at CSULA it was SSNs in the early 90s, but they were already phasing it out.
I've been using Illustrator as my main medium[1] since 2000. Mostly I bitch about it doing terrible things when I open up older files, and the occasional update that's a crashfest for me even after I remove all plugins. (I'm currently running the last release because CC 2015.3 is one of those.)

I don't think anything is going to take the place of vector tools, especially as screen DPI continues to increase. I keep flirting with Affinity Designer[2], which does some very interesting things with integrating raster effects to create a very scalable but very painterly look. But I've got a decade and a half of sunk cost into Illustrator that keeps pulling me back.

While I understand and agree with the point you're making, I think it's also important to acknowledge we're all different, we're all good at different things and we all eventually fulfill some purpose.

Some of us are great at spending time with our wives and taking the kids to soccer practice. We fill our lives with family and friends, and get immense joy from that. We're so busy, likely, we'll never do anything "noteworthy" or wind up in the Guinness Book of Records. (Note: I'm not in any way implying that's a bad thing, I'm simply stating it as likely true)

Others in this world maybe are not so good socially, or maybe do spend "too much" time at work, and do burn out those around them. They do, however, achieve greatness that genuinely moves the entire human race forward.

It just so happens that second kind of person is around one in a few hundred million, so there really aren't so many around.
Eh, that's not a very accurate way to describe things. S/PDIF itself transmits samples of audio one at a time, whereas USB transmits frames encoded in packets, but in practice there are going to be hardware buffers of some size, and the software will process one buffer at a time. The end result means that there are no real advantages to S/PDIF, and a number of serious disadvantages.
Back in the 90's, I was the "minister of truth" for the student group "Purdue Libertarians". Since then, I've evolved into a socialist. Both my former and current selves are appalled at this. Never in my wildest nightmares would I think that Purdue, of all places, would implement student tracking.

This isn't like the techniques described in the novel 1984. This IS a technique described in the novel 1984.

I'm not super familiar with facelift costs over time, but a quick google gives me this link: http://www.drhodgkinson.com.au/news-resource/different-types...

Quoth the article: "Facelifts have come a long way in the last 20 years, not only in terms of technique, but also in terms of accessibility to both women and men. In the 1970s and even into the 1980s, the facelift was a luxury reserved for the rich and famous."

This leads me to believe facelifts have greatly declined in cost over the past 30 years. The number of such surgeries has greatly increased as well ("Since 2000, overall procedures have risen 115 percent, but the types of procedures patients are choosing are changing." -- http://www.plasticsurgery.org/news/2016/new-statistics-refle... )

Do you have any other examples? Because the one you gave doesn't appear to support the argument that prices will remain high for long periods of time. Especially given that facelifts are a cosmetic surgery and thus there's relatively little drive to give them to everyone.
You can't create tech without political consequence, no. But there are "sides" in a sense that tech can be driving changes in policy. So you can use tech to make political changes without getting directly involved in all the mess the politics is.

That's a key point: it's easier to do things wrong/poorly on microservices.
Stabby! Several thumbs up to the point #1, that interface boundaries needn't be coincident with service boundaries. In my experience, the benefit of breaking out microservices is the decoupled deployment. A heuristic is, if you have fixes/features that are waiting to be pushed to production until unrelated code is passing/QA'd, you've got a good candidate for a separate service.

The Matrix borrows heavily from Plato's Allegory of the Cave [1], a very famous philosophical thought experiment.

What page is that?
A dominant group is not one that is merely more beneficial. If there's a rat park somewhere that has happiness level 5, and the other rat park has happiness level 6, that doesn't mean one is dominant over the other. It just means one has more happiness than the other. And in an effort to not cause too many paperclip maximizers, let's define some acceptable margin of difference at which it doesn't really matter who's happier, I don't think the world will explode and the philosophical arguments are seriously not worth it.

Dominance is something else entirely and I staunchly disagree that this strictly evolutionary construct needs to persist forever.

Been waiting for promises: Unhandled rejections now emit a process warning after the first tick. I'm not sure how useful the warning is though.

Now using node v6.6.0 (npm v3.10.3)

> It always saddens me when I see a slew of Debbie Downer comments from the HN crowd.

My observation over the last few years has been a steady decline in the quality of comments on HN, and a steady increase in the number of Debbie Downer comments.

No matter what someone is doing - there will always, always be a comment about how whatever they are trying to achieve is stupid and they should instead be doing x, y, z.

If someone did brain surgery on you to turn you into a bundle of delusions (or insert something similar here, plausible or not), would "you", as you currently cherish "you", still exist? It's not like any of our body tissues are terribly inspiring or important in the great scheme of things. It's rather the things that are directly threatened, our ability to think on our own, to be a person. Physical destruction? Meh, doesn't upset me, not in light of the heat death of the universe. A sane humanity getting destroyed by a comet would be more dignified than our current outlook.

An unexamined life isn't worth anything, and an examined life is not compatible with where we are currently heading. Imagine that story of the naked emperor without that child. For me that's like some kind of event horizon -- if everybody fell for it, and stayed stuck to it, there is no story there, no history, no people in it, nothing going on. There isn't even a "there" there, if there is no hope of it ever changing.
> No, what they become is a historian of philosophy.

No, they don't. If they go on to practice history of philosophy, sure, they become that, but many holders of philosophy degrees don't do that.

> Because what they learn is the eminent philosophers and schools from the past, and the philosophical methodology.

That's no more true than it is to say that what a person learns when taking a science degree is the eminent scientists of the past and their scientific results. Which is to say, that is a large and important part of what they learn, but hardly the whole thing, and there is utility in knowing what others have done in the space to doing new work in it. (Obviously, knowing the past of the field is also useful to people who wish to practice as a historian of the field, but its certainly not the only thing a degree is useful for. Holding a philosophy degree makes you neither a philosopher nor a historian of philosophy, both of those describe things you might do, with or without a degree, to which a degree might be useful.)

Gamasutra published an in-depth article last year on how the developer of Super Win the Game implemented a shader to emulate the scanline (and phosphor decay) of CRTs. It's eyeopening, and was the first time I realized why my emulated NES classics looked so different from what I remembered from my youth.

It's quite possible, that Page, and Bezos don't see much value in collaborating with the press. Maybe that seems like a non productive use of time to them. For example, look how much Zuck is in the press.
Huh? The tax code isn't even close to 70,000 pages long. What specific document are you claiming to be 70,000 pages long? The Standard Federal Tax Reporter? That's not the tax code.
From the company's perspective the job has to be one for which the company can reliably measure your output. If you're doing data entry for medical records the company can easily count the number of patients you've finished, the number of pages, even the number of keystrokes.

But for a developer working from home the company can't tell the difference between a bug that took three days of plugging away to find and one that you knocked out in twenty minutes before binge watching House of Cards on company time.

Most professionals have enough personal integrity to work when they say they're working, but the ones that don't can be very corrosive to morale and a big drag on productivity. I got the impression that's why Marissa Meyer forced everyone at Yahoo back into the office.
I'm not surprised by your comment - I never got the feeling younger developers were the source of age discrimination.

It seems generators and trampolines involve considerably more CPU overhead in the 6.x series vs. 5.x, while tail calls are now fully optimized and/or the default stack limit has grown considerably.

The simple answer is "because laws".
As per usual for Thomas Sowell, he pretends to offer insight when he actually attempts to confuse the issue. He relies on outliers and misunderstandings to make his point. For example, he says that someone who earns $200K from the sale of their home will show up as an equal statistic as someone that earned income of $200K yearly. No. No. No. That's not how it works. Money made from homes where the profit less than $500K is not counted at all as income for your own residence because it is understood that this money will likely go right back into the next home you buy in that same year. Now, if you are buying and selling homes for profit as a business, then that IS a business, and counts as income from that business.

His conclusion? "This means that statistics on income inequalities are often comparing high multi-year earnings with lower single-year earnings -- that is, comparing apples and oranges." He is taking an extreme minority of cases (which he calls "high multi-year earnings") and comparing that to the most common cases of normal yearly income (which he calls "lower single-year earnings") and saying these two are happening in such parity that the statistic about household incomes is "comparing apples and oranges". No, Mr. Sowell, it is you who are comparing apples and oranges.
This has confused me too. All this talk of IPv4 exhaustion, and yet I get a free one with every $5 Digital Ocean box.

We ship a microservices-based product on-premises. You can do it, but it's a heck of a lot of work. Plus you don't get any of the benefits microservices might bring in a CD scenario: you can't do CD over an airgap.

I'm happy that my ISP gives me a /29 ipv4 block :).

An example of a real world effect is one of the largest fibre ISPs in the U.K. They are the only provider afaik to assign users internal IPs, which is then NAT'd. This then gets NAT'd on the router again - double NAT, woohoo! :) I know they desperately tried to get enough public space for all their customers, but were unable to buy a large enough space for it, so were forced into this position.

Interestingly, the U.K. has at least two /8 ranges that aren't even advertised on the public internet, owned by MoD (25/8) and Department of Work & Pensions (51/8). That's 32 million addresses unused as far as anyone can tell from the outside.

> He is a walking PR campaign. Why do we barely know any of the higher level engineers at Space X or Tesla?

Remind me a great deal of what existed with Steve Jobs. Another example is Jeff Bezos with Amazon. Not saying that in tech circles some of their execs and/or engineers are not well known but certainly not people that your Aunt would have heard about. Also I guess Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook (although Sheryl Sandberg is fairly well known). Another is the "Google Guys" but you don't hear much about them lately probably because the PR has been tamped down. But early on it was every magazine cover and apparently from what I heard later Sergey wasn't even anywhere near as important as Larry was.

This happens also with VC firms. One partner (in a small firm like AVC) is the big cheese, the others you barely hear about.

That said this is not unusual in business or for that matter team sports or even entertainment. For many reason including some people simply want to be behind the scenes.
>If an applicant can't be bothered to go through the initial steps to get onto the short list for consideration, why should they think that's a good candidate to be throwing money at, regardless of their resume?

That's a fair question. I'd like to ask a question in response: if an applicant has worked under/helped/seen those who could be bothered the jump through the hoops to get on the short of consideration and then funded, walked away because someone threw money at them to work on financial/trading software (thus enabling and "freed" to pursued related research work in more detail in their spare time), why shouldn't they throw money at such candidate despite considering how far throwing more of the same into neuroimaging research has gotten us thus far?

Personally, jumping through arbitrary/superficial hoops is not a game I want to play (plenty of others are good at that, and I wish them all the best, darpa's latest and greatest ways at dealing with signal 2 noise issue is their problem, and anyone should feel free to point that out), I'm having much more fun playing my own game from my fancy apt all the away across the world, while still working with those don't want to waste my time (and mine there's). Luckly for others and folks like me, darpa aren't the only folks interested, and money isn't the only "limited" resource of consideration.
