To be fair, running everything on the same host is very efficient. It's just risky in terms of (lack of) redundancy and unpredictable loads.

When hardware was expensive the idea was to make everything as tiny and efficient as possible. Now that hardware is cheap the idea is to make everything as scalable as possible so as to take advantage of all that extra hardware you can now afford.

The next phase of this evolution is to go back to making everything tiny and efficient again as we reach the theoretical limits of horizontal scalability. A good way to "force" such practices is to make your developers use single (or just limited) hardware for everything.

I doubt your boss is coming from this angle but I've actually witnessed this put into practice by forcing a small development team to run their code on Raspberry Pis. It really brings home the idea that, "No, really: Your code is slow and inefficient."

It makes people re-think their architectures and often forces them to divide tasks up into smaller pieces that can be written efficiently. Also, nothing says, "ditch your ridiculously complicated and slow build process" than forcing it to run on embedded hardware.

If your build forces a multi-core embedded system with a gig of RAM to thrash and crash you need to re-think things a bit =)

The Golf R isn't really a fair comparison as it's a dual clutch, not a traditional automatic, and more importantly, it gets a (quite aggressive) launch control while the manual doesn't.

Agree that the sourcing is hard. We have this in mind, too. As i wrote in the Medium article, we will offer a practice mode for sysadmins. If we will have traction in this are, we will take into consideration to offer a sourcing product also. Until then, we focus on delivering a testing product for companies and a practice product for sysadmins.
Awesome work over at the Mozilla team! This is way better than what I would expect after using Opera, Brave, and others on iOS.
Good question! but I don't know the answer. maybe its a paradox :) I know everything has to move forward and evolve! Anyway, I like the 140 Character limit on Twitter. My post is acctualy exactly 140 characers long :) as most of my tweets. Just wanted to point out, that the current popularity of Twitter is based on current state. And maybe some payment options would be fine for people who care andn consider Twitter as the source of news and knowledge.
Similarly, their phones are refreshingly free from carrier-lock or (obvious) crapware.
There are several tools available to convert from Mbox to proprietary mailbox formats.
I would absolutely pay for a twitter account. to remove ads but also support a viable path to stay independent and functional. Twitter does a huge amount of good in the world, and are important for freedom of ideas in many countries
There is so much talk in the current rhetoric about the US losing its dominance in science and technology. But it is a tad myopic to not be excited about a country of a billion people pushing the boundaries of what is possible. It is not a zero sum game and we will all benefit.
> I don't share your belief. Haven't you seen his hit-piece on third-party candidates? You had two big candidates with little or no integrity, and yet, he paints the third party candidates as not even worthy of consideration because they said one or to silly things, or were unaware of some details.

I have. And I happened to agree. This could've been THE year for third party candidates, had they not been complete dullards. There was basically an open door. And I disagree with you about "both" third party candidates only saying one or two things wrong. They were fundamentally inequipped to respond to basic political issues.

> Would you react the same way about an anti-Hillary piece magnifying her every flaw, when her opponents are just as (or more) flawed? I'd not bat an eyelid if such things were coming out of party propaganda mouthpieces. I feel very differently about it coming out of HBO.

If it was true, yes. Where we seem to disagree is that you believe that Hillary is worse than Donald. That seems to be the horrifying root to this entire election.

> The statistics are garbage. There is no science there. Politifact has some value in that they do some legwork to find primary sources. Readers can read those sources and come to their own conclusions. Think of Politifact like Wikipedia: you can find a good number of primary sources linked from there. But like Wikipedia, they are not the final authority on these matters. Politifact's choice of topics to investigate are not representative of a person, and their verdicts are often whimsical.

Wikipedia isn't as biased as you'd like to think. [1]

Ask HN: How do I find a job like this?
I currently work for a large company as a senior engineer. It's a large .com, so many of the technical problems are somewhat interesting. Optimizing queries etc. However that work alone doesn't really seem to fulfill me. In my past, working for a startup, I had the opportunity to be closer to the business. I was in a position that allowed me to see business problems (not just technical) and propose tecnical or non-technical solutions to it. Thus far in my 10 year career, this has been the most enjoyable time i've spent working. No other job has felt as "fulfilling" as this time.

I want that again, but I haven't been able to find it. It seems like as I've grown the only jobs recruiters seem to send me are jobs where i'm only allowed to analyze technical problems. When I've explained to recuriters what I want, they never seem to get back in contact.

How do I find a job where I'm a "problem solver" and not a "code monkey".
Excellent point, context is 95% of meaning, especially around nuanced topics such as race.
Yeah its a knee-jerk reaction and sad. The more accurate slogan would be "Black Lives Also Matter" but that isn't as effective. I think we all really understand that's what "Black Lives Matter" means. The real question is, why the strong counter-reaction? Why the sophistry around the slogan? What is that covering for?

What I learnt about security and SEO by auditing 25000 sites
I tend to agree with this article; I don't think Donald Trump, a New Yorker and a businessman, is a racist.

However, the people who he surrounds himself with, are. This article makes no mention of Steve Bannon, who suggested too many Asian CEOs is a threat to civic society [0], and ran a website that peddled anti-Semitic and anti-Muslim conspiracy theories. Come January 20th, he'll be the chief strategist for the nation's highest office.

Nor does it mention Kris Kobach, the Kansas Secretary of State who has ties to white nationalist groups [1]. He's now on Trump's transition team.

I don't doubt Trump's intentions, but it's looking like the alt-right is using his campaign (and will use his administration) for their own ends.

> but I don't think you can blame feminists for this: they're just focused on other issues.

The problem is, liberals are vilifying Trump supporters for exactly that, being focused on other issues instead of social justice. They say that it doesn't matter that you disagreed with Hillary's liberal policies, putting conservatism over social justice makes you a complicit racist.
That's a rather uninformed opinion. He already is paying for Twitter, with his content and information, just not with money. It's the thing that gets me about Facebook too. People don't even know how much they are paying Facebook for rather basic services with the privilege of being tracked and surveilled. The only value Facebook has is solely based on the size of their herd of facebook users. There is essentially zero other value. Everything else Facebook is doing that appears it may provide value at some point is simply a function of the earnings from the herd of users they have corralled. It's really little more than a King that subjugates a population of peasants and maintains his power and control through bruit force, i.e., making leaving Facebook as difficult as possible by reinforcing network effects, which are little more than monopolies.

Pipelines [1]

Me and a couple colleagues initially built devo.ps[2]. We made a lot of mistakes (over-engineered mostly).

We ended up building its successor, Pipelines, as a lightweight Python alternative to tools like Jenkins and it works great so far for us and many of the teams we work with.

It doesn't solve much; we mostly use it to easily trigger Ansible playbooks (through Slack/webhooks or a Web interface) and review failed/successful logs of past runs. But it has a few nice features (like prompting users for values and being easily extensible).

Also you install it with a simple `pip install pipelines`. No DB, no need for a gazillion dependencies, just Python. Done in 2 minutes and running in 5.

Yes some older cars are I imagine were rely hard.

My mom is totaly non car person, but in old days she had a car with non Non-synchronous 1-st and 2-nd gear. And she managed to figure it out and drive it.

This sounds hard to me :)
It should be reflected in your insurance rates.
My current car has "regenerative breaking" that charges the battery(not a hybrid, just a normal BMW). I haven't tried any testing without cruise control on, but with cruise on it will definitely do a little breaking on highway downhills to maintain speed.

Every generation of car is getting better at all these things, so statements about efficiency almost all need a "cars built prior to 20XX".
Sure. Turning the engine is going to take energy one way or the other. But you can use energy that would otherwise be wasted heating up the brake pads rather than energy from burning fuel.

Speaking of sysadmins, a note for yours. You are currently serving blog.sysadminsarena.com over HTTPS with an HTTP to HTTPS redirect, but are not doing the same for your website. In fact, you don't have an HTTPS endpoint for your website at all. Going to your website by modifying the URL from the blog entry (because clicking your logo takes you to the front page of the blog, not the website) results in a `ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED`.

Yes. you should pass the test. This is one of the scenarios we are thinking. you get the backup location do the restore. done you passed.
I have a guess: the limit in these designs isn't typically the motor, but instead the power semiconductors in the inverter (the motor has a much longer thermal time constant than the power devices). Therefore the limit is the junction temperature of the power devices. Most high performance drives have some kind of junction temperature estimation algorithm (it is difficult or impossible to put a sensor right at the junction without changing the electrical properties of the semiconductor). When the estimated temperature gets too high, they will start pulling back the current to protect the power devices from overheating. The more accurate the model, the closer they can push the devices to the limit without failure.

I'd bet they have been slowly improving their junction temp. estimation model and are now able to push the power semiconductors a little bit closer to their temperature limit, allowing them to produce more current (or the same current for a longer duration) before pulling back.
Start you own (on the side first).
You maintain better control of the vehicle if you leave the clutch engaged and engine brake instead of slowing down with it disengaged and using the actual brakes. It may not seem that way to inexperienced manual drivers, but once you've driven a manual in traffic a few times you learn that engine braking is safer and more precise.

Also, on a large, heavy vehicle with a manual transmission, you can get in trouble with misjudging braking time/distance if you only rely on the brakes to slow down and stop. When I have a full load in my pickup (1982 C10) I have no choice but to engine brake as the wheel brakes lose more stopping distance the heavier the load, not to mention it keeps them from overheating and failing early over time.
I just don't want another thing to fill out about myself and maintain, another "social" website to bother me with emails (which Linkedin already does by the way) and notifications and all that. Endorsing people for skills and all that shit. I want less of that in my life.

Looks awesome, can't wait to play around with this. On a separate note, I'm a sucker for great UI. I love the waveform on the landing page. Browsing through the repo, I had no clue this was available in the form of a pod. Needed something like this for a current project.
It's called "Klar by Firefox" in Germany due to the naming conflict with Focus, the magazine. I haven't seen the update in the app store yet, though. Probably still rolling out.
Of course! It's less a criticism of the paper than a note that the tone of the post summarizing it is a little misleading.
I have not used these APIs but I wonder whether it is faster to use Safari in private mode with Focus as a blocker, or using focus directly. Afaik Safari compiles the blocker rules into some binary representation and is thus able to apply them really fast. Do Webkit applications have access to similar functionality?

Let off the gas and steer where you want to go . . . it really is that simple. Letting off the accelerator is more-or-less equivalent to pushing in the clutch. I've never (well, hardly ever) had trouble recovering from a slide in an automatic, and I've never really practiced it except by accident. Anyway, if you are sliding regularly in snowy/icy conditions, you might be driving too aggressively or you might just need snow tires.
This is such an elegant synopsis.

I've been saying this to my HRC-supporter friends, many are horrified that I could vote for Trump. A few are no longer friends (by their choice, screaming at me from the top of their lungs that I voted for Hitler).

The manner in which we discuss our differences matters.

For this election, for me (a moderate in a left-leaning city), the left was worse. I genuinely hope they can change.

1. Kudos to him for putting in the "Edit" about the inaccuracies in exit-poll data, but it's a really big "Edit" and casts doubt on most of his initial premise.

2. No mention of Bannon? This article was written yesterday, and we knew Trump had chosen Bannon to be his right-hand man long before then.

3. No mention that Trump believes that an American judge of Mexican heritage can't judge him? Of the birther claims? Or of playing to white fears with completely make-believe images of "inner cities" being war zones?

4. The jiu jitsu over saying that banning "All Muslims" from entering the country isn't really racism because "most Muslims are white(ish)" is nonsense.

5. And yes, it is special pleading. The author goes out of his way to explain things in a way that is unique to Trump:

> 15. Don’t we know that Trump supports racist violence because, when some of his supporters beat up a Latino man, he just said they were “passionate”?

> When Trump was asked for comment, he tweeted “Love the fact that the small groups of protesters last night have passion for our great country”.

> I have no idea how his mind works and am frankly boggled by all of this, but calling violent protesters “passionate” just seems to be a thing of his. I think this is actually a pretty important point. Trump is a weird person.

Oh. Ok. He doesn't support beating up people. He's just "weird."

----

Edit: Also the author seems to have confused two statements of "passion." Trump's tweet about "small groups of protesters" was made just the other day. Instead, after the beating up of the Latino man, he said

"I will say, the people that are following me are very passionate, they love this country, they want this country to be great again."

Note that not only is he calling those men "passionate," he is essentially justifying their actions by bringing up their "love of country," which is particularly telling in the case of men beating up an immigrant.
And a bit of healthy competition for national kudos is likely to speed things along.

Whenever I travel anywhere, I like checking it on Street View (even within my city).

Also, I'm looking for a house to buy (more a wish than an actual search) and we always look at the neighborhood.

Also to see where my family lives, and we kind of virtually travel (no money for actual travel for now).

I used to work for an insurance company and the house insurers actually used it to give the houses we were insuring a quick check (if windows have bars, for instance) to avoid actually inspecting it if possible (and seeing which merited a more thorough inspection).

I now work for a travel agency and they use it to see hotel's neighbourhoods.

Whaddayaknow, I missed that file. Apparently it's a Freedesktop standard (https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/os-release....).

My point still stands, something like this should have been included from the first releases of Linux distros, 20 years ago. And that was just a random example I came up with after 2 minutes of trying to prove a point. There's many, many more like it.

Also, just for kicks I took at look at the spec and...

1. ANSI_COLOR is funny:

> A suggested presentation color when showing the OS name on the console. This should be specified as string suitable for inclusion in the ESC [ m ANSI/ECMA-48 escape code for setting graphical rendition. This field is optional. Example: "ANSI_COLOR="0;31"" for red, or "ANSI_COLOR="1;34"" for light blue.

2. And some parts are scary:

> parameters may be set using os-release

Oh-oh! Everything is optional! That's really bad for a RFC.
It asked me to draw an helicopter, then a shovel, and guessed right in both cases. But I noticed that the training dataset was of poor quality: "shovel" drawings were full of helicopters.
