In colder weather, we do this to keep the heat on. Aside from that, I've always been under the impression that starting and stopping the engine, unless its specifically designed to do that like in the case of cars that stop the engine at red lights - adds additional unneeded wear and tear to the engine.

turning off an engine for 3 or 5 minutes, assuming it was warm, won't make the engine loose to much heat. Turning it off for a half hour, in the case of waiting for someone to get out of an appointment or store - would make the car loose enough heat that the heater will need time to warm up again upon starting again. Not a huge deal; just an inconvenience.

I've also been told in bad snow storms, don't turn off the engine if your just waiting, for fear snow or ice might cause it not to restart but I don't think this is an issue on any modern cars (> 2000)
Great short/quick piece. I also do multi-EC2 instances in AWS, but do NFS instead of EFS, and another CDN. WordPress still has its many challenges, but it definitely scales for many different web publishing businesses.

Integrating with a closed source iOS SDK is such a hassle, and it's even worse if there's any Swift code involved.

Integrating with an open-source SDK is one line in Cartfile and a little dragging.

Maintaining one also seems like a hassle, currently all I have to do is tag a release and it just works.

Ask HN: Do you know any API like Scale for non-English speaking countries?
I'm looking for an API like Scale (https://www.scaleapi.com/) for non-English speaking countries. I have no project in mind right now, but I'm curious about the market in other countries, like France or Germany.
You can do it yourself.
RQ is certainly useful (with finer control over messages), but we've been having a lot of problems with it lately in production due to it being memory bound (Redis). Improper code deploys or insufficient/stuck workers would quickly explode the queues and make the broker go oom in matter of hours. Memory is also very expensive. With KQ/Kafka I was hoping it would provide us with a lot more to buffer for human errors and scale better.
I've been remote working for 12 years. My opinion as to a successful remote working relationship is as follows:

- Trust. You need to build it on both sides. Your employer
needs to trust you to deliver what they expect. You need
to trust your employer to build their team to include you
even though you're sometimes not so visible.

- Space. Get yourself out of the home office and into a
local coworking space. You'll thank me for it, otherwise
you'll go slowly crazy at home.

- Daily contact. Make sure you have daily contact with
other members of your team. If you're Agile, then a daily
standup by video feed helps people to remember you exist!

A bias means you have twisted the facts, or presented an inaccurate picture of reality. A viewpoint means you have an opinion.

The reason they have different connotations is because twisting the facts is considered bad and having an opinion is not.
It doesn't work like that. Most PC "manufacturers" (including Apple) don't make PCs, and they all use the same Taiwanese OEMs/ODMs and Chinese factories. The main ones are Quanta, Compal, Pegatron (spun out of Asus), Foxconn (Hon Hai), Wistron (spun out of Acer), Inventec etc.

Quanta is probably the biggest notebook manufacturer, followed by Compal and Pegatron. Compal and Pegatron probably have the best quality overall.

Most PC suppliers use several manufacturers, sometimes as many as five (Dell, I think). Asus currently uses Pegatron, Compal and Wistron, so it's average quality should be pretty good.

It's a tough business because the number of viable contract manufacturers is growing while the number of viable PC OEMs is shrinking. (No more Gateway, Compaq, TI, IBM etc, except as brands.)

In addition, companies with large volume sales can afford to offer several product ranges aimed at different markets. Dell, for example, has different ranges for consumers (Inspiron is low end, XPS is high end) and for businesses (Latitude, Optiplex, Precision), plus Vostro for the SO/HO market.

So, it doesn't really make a lot of sense to compare, for example, Dell with HP with Lenovo. They all have multiple ranges made in different factories -- and they could all be using the same factories!

You'd really need to compare the same types of laptop (low-end, mid-range, high-end / consumer, business, enterprise) across different PC manufacturers.

If you don't do this, the "worst" brand is likely to be whichever company makes the biggest volumes of really cheap consumer laptops, especially if they don't support them particularly well. This used to be Acer. Today, it's probably Lenovo.

Conversely, the "best" brand is likely to be whichever company makes the smallest volumes of really expensive laptops ;-)

Do you know of an icon set conversion of those that would work with gtk3? Even most icon themes that work with gtk2 are incorrectly structured for gtk3, with wrong icons display for, say, +/- controls.

I think the idea is that you want the results to "match-up" with exit polls and number of voters.

I assume it adjusts the proportionality so the sum total remains the same, and ballot questions that the hijacker is not concerned with are not skewed.

Since you have no idea how many people will vote until the conclusion, if you wait until after the conclusion to modify results, it would be more obvious and difficult.
We don't know who leaked the emails. You'll have to show me proof otherwise.

What's disturbing is the content of the emails. Clinton will not last six months into her presidency, I can promise you that. There is clear evidence from the Podesta emails so far that the Clinton campaign cheated, broke the law, and used the Clinton Foundation for shady purposes. Mark my words, after what's come out in the last few weeks about Clinton, she will be seen in history as criminal, just like her husband.

Did you see she got debate questions ahead of time via Donna Brazile (in addition to the previously discovered town hall question)? That they made millions off pay-for-play with brutal foreign governments? Every day there are multiple discoveries of enormous magnitude, and that confirm long-standing suspicions about the Clintons.
I mean, Celery is a pretty amazing library. It has flaws, but I doubt this new project has no flaws. They are just unknown still.

I've had a Fujitsu that lasted for seven years. Lenovos are also great but personally I don't trust them after what happened last year and I've heard good things for Dell and Toshiba. On the contrary I've heard horror stories regarding Acer, they're either hit or miss, mostly miss.

The thing is that most manufacturers have significantly raised the quality of their products especially in the high end range. We probably have to thank Apple for that which showed that is a huge market for high end laptops. Even HP builds quality machines these days.
I've listened to Brain.fm since this past February, and it is truly amazing.

They have Focus, Relax, and Sleep, but I've only ever listened to Focus. It's like this steady stream of some kind of electronically generated music that changes each 30 minutes. I set it to 2 hours, and then I usually take a small break when it ends. I'll turn it on and literally get into the zone immediately; writing line after line of code without even realizing how quickly I'm working. It's like getting on a train to the Matrix or something.

The most shocking thing to me is how little they talk about actual policy. My econ friends spend a significant time debating policies and using NBER studies to show how people would be affected by one policy or another.

In contrast, I'd say <1% of Podesta emails are about policy, and 50% of those are how the policies benefit donors, not the public.
Is there a documentation reference for "scheme-centric capabilities"? Most people who use the term "capabilities" use it incorrectly, or their capabilities have the wrong properties which destroys some of their benefits, so I'm curious what redox is doing here.

Skimming through the code in the fork [1], it looks like they place restrictions on sending capabilities in a misguided attempt to "enhance security" [1]. But this compromises the property that actually makes capabilities so much better: unrestricted delegation leads to the principle of least authority via fine-grained permissions. The fact that capabilities can be passed arbitrarily leads you naturally to defining fine-grained authorizations so that eventual abuse can be minimized, detected, and revoked.

If you have other "security" mechanisms restricting delegation, then you can get sloppy and start aggregating permissions into larger groups, thus making inevitable vulnerabilities much worse than they otherwise would be.

I hope your right, but part of the problem is the traction WordPress has. We tried to go with something other than WordPress, but ranbinto all sorts of issues mostly because everything the marketing people wanted to use was already built for WordPress. We also had a hard time finding contractors to make themes and stuff because they all knew WordPress but didn't want to commit to something else.
I did mention to separate the consumer and well made pro ranges for Dell and HP.

Had several Thinkpads, only one needed repair, was handled quickly and smoothly. Repaired first time.

HP and Dell have been OK, for me, with support.

I've had issue with individual products of theirs, but not laptops.

I didn't like how Dell handled a faulty monitor, but is it relevant to their pro laptop experience?

They're both harder to deal with than Thinkpad, in my experience, in my country.

The article you linked to goes on and on about the exact issue I mentioned. IRV tends to select for extremist candidates. Condorcet methods tend to punish them. The article tries to defend this, but I see this as a very bad outcome. Extremist candidates can do much more harm than good. Centrist candidates are more rational and tend to be less likely to do crazy things. Condorcet methods ensure the winner will be the best possible compromise, IRV gives very inconsistent behavior but can favor extremists, but can also punish third parties (IRV still suffers from vote splitting in many cases, see video I posted.)

Last year I finally switched to mac for work (I had family mac air).

Before that I always used thinkpads. I still think the 15" T60 was one of the best computers I have owned. I would have stayed with it if I could upgrade 16gb (ahh Java development). The new thinkpads are bad.

I'm sort of annoyed that I finally got used to mac and it is now down a path of crap (love the form factor... hate the Mac UI and no upgrade).

I live in NY. I think if a business is inside the profitability margin of error where a bagel tax or bureaucracy cost could very well flip it upside down then it's not profitable even if it is. These are the types of companies that will blame "bad weather" as the reason for a quarterly loss.

If conditions need to be perfect and regulations friendly and nothing bad can happen/everything must go according to plan for a company to be profitable, it's not profitable.
Good, but could add some some foundation pieces, which are often glossed over or just assumed to be in place, but when they aren't, none of the other 'cultural' points matter much.

ie what is a team?
A group of people working toward a common vision/goal. So have one clearly defined.

Why are team members working at all?
Because they expect some kind of reward. So ensure sure they have a stake in the success of the endeavor, even if it's only "be part of this cool project".

Man, Japanaradio is still around? I remember listening to those shoutcast streams back in like 2003 or something (RIP Winamp).

I've actually found that when I get an itch for J-Pop I will scour TuneIn for a "real" radio feed from Japan. Japanaradio was always just a playlist on shuffle (or so it seemed), and there's something about listening to an actual radio station (with commercials and interstitials) that makes it feel less cold and automatic.

Memcached Vulnerable to Remote Code Execution
Those threads are obviously just pure politics of the kind that fall outside the site guidelines here, so users were right to flag them.

There's an intrinsic tension on this site: by excluding pure politics and the low level of discourse that comes with it (c.f. "butthurt Hillary supporters" elsewhere in this thread), HN becomes a place for relatively substantive discussion. Naturally, people then want to use this relatively substantive place for political discourse as well. That's understandable, because there are so few public places to have substantive discussions about politics. But if we were to let that happen, HN would soon become just like everywhere else (as I said, c.f. "butthurt Hillary supporters" elsewhere in this thread). Therefore we can't let that happen.

Unfortunately, a lot of people respond to this not with "yeah, I see the tradeoff" but with "this site is censored by butthurt Orwellians".

So one thing I wonder - if you loose 30% of the energy with every mirror, is it really necessary to use a dozen mirrors between the laser and the waver?

Can someone chime in why hosting this behind Cloudflare is a bad idea?
For something which is a blog/CMS (put another way the # of readers >> # of creators), I'm envisioning using a single instance behind Cloudflare with heavy caching turned on? Cloudflare caches and serves everything. For free (you can pay them if you want). Host your assets in S3 or GCS, also put them behind Cloudflare. If your instance goes down, you have a rough chunk of your caching window to bring your instance back online (which if it's well encapsulated should be a few scripts to spawn a new instance and re-point the cloud provider internal DNS which will update ~1s)

People always said Apple evokes feelings. Now it seems obvious that it goes both ways. I acknowledge that it is impossible to be objective on this issue (different use cases, different people, different habits and so on) but saying that they are on a "path of crap" is too strong for most of the time, I bet. I haven't ever used any Apple product, so it's just a somewhat external observation.

Well having to stretch your little finger all the way to the corner of the keyboard gets pretty annoying when you have to do it all the time, as you do with Vim. Much easier to remap another key close to the home row, and since caps-lock is so redundant, it is the obvious candidate.

So whether you map it directly to Esc or to a modifier, the parent's point stands: Vim users don't need the Esc key and are probably better off without it.
