Nice! We have a lot of time. Hey morons, stop whining and work more.

This article represents a crazy mindset. We are not in the middle of the Industrial Revolution. Nobody should have to work so much any more.

In NATS Streaming, you can configure the maximum number of channels (name of a topic in NATS Streaming). The channel is then created when a client either publishes messages to it, or create a consumer on that.
A channel then logs message on this topic as a ring buffer based on channel limits (although you can set to unlimited if you have enough resources).

From a client perspective, there is no API to create a channel, you simply publish or consume:

conn.Publish("foo", []byte("msg"))

conn.Subscribe("foo", msgCb)

No, it's not. Data sharing is essential for performance.

Besides, the problem with models like those of JS (today, anyway) is that they don't even let you read concurrently, even if there are no mutators.
The original article was talking about specifically how this tax increase would affect higher earner families. It was not the intent of the story to describe these as typical of the general population.
They have incredibly cheap dedicated servers (something like 50 Euros for quad core, 64GB ram, 2TB disk/500gb ssd with traffic included!).

I had several servers from them over the years without issues and great performance.

"Regulatory capture is a common..." True!

"...and well understood phenomenon." Oh, if only it were so.
If you are willing to pay $thousands per month for DDOS protection, do yourself a favor and talk to DOSArrest. They have been specializing in DDOS protection since 2007, always answer tickets in minutes, and are aggressively committed to beating DDOS attacks. Not sure of their current pricing but I think it is in this range or lower.

Could you explain the dynamics here? What dangerous behavior is this prohibiting, and why? What's the "nightmare scenario"?

This part is pretty scary... (sorry for the bad formatting)

... but god forbid you mix up the syntax - the following will simply silently fail with no warnings:

<template *ngIf="condition">...</template>

The reason is because the you see is a syntactic sugar that essentially wraps the element in a <template>. The problem is when used on <template> tag this gets translated into:*

<template [ngIf]="condition"><template>...</template></template>

which doesn’t render anything at all.

>are there AVs that are less aggressive in this matter by nature?

Yes, if you are on windows, just use Windows Defender (AKA Microsoft Security Essentials).

You'll read how it doesn't detect as much as the others and it doesn't have any fancy features, but all that means is that it won't have a ton of false positives (i've only ever had one false positive with it ever), it won't try to upsell you to a premium service, it can be disabled/turned-off with one click, and most importantly it won't weaken the security of your whole system.
Yea, that is what Vess worked on back in the late 1990s, dating back to the WordBasic days.

Could you point to some examples where this has worked? It seems that the entry fee would either 1. limit the community's growth severely (not necessarily a bad thing), or 2. filter out good candidates.
But is this a case of dumping? It looks like Zenefits doesn't actually need[1] to charge for the software, in order for their revenue model to work; and it's not dumping if your costs of production are actually that much lower.

[1] edit: or want -- the loss of platform size plus transaction costs might outweigh the extra revenue it would bring?
Announcing the Metabase Network
On my UNIX days I used it as poor man's solution to track memory leaks, by overriding malloc()/free(), this was done at dynamic linker level, not the process.

So I checked and apparently this no longer works since AT_SECURE exists, around 2.6.0 time frame.

It has been a while since I cared to do this on GNU/Linux, maybe around 2002.

So thanks for forcing me to update myself.
this was a triumph!

How Not to Write FORTRAN in Any Language (2004)
Other vendors throwing in the towel interestingly mean AIX will continue on much longer. The UNIX(r) market is shrinking, but high margin. HP-UX and AIX are the only UNIX(r) choices, and IBM is a much more stable entity. IBM has a pretty solid strategy with [Open]POWER embracing Linux while continuing to sustain i and AIX. AIX is both less sticky and compelling than i, but nonetheless 27 years to grab niches like DBs and large sw suites mean it will be around for at least another decade.
Most infrastructure will be. The idea of using city spaces to put your infrastructure has always been a bit daft. Vertical Farming is one example. As we have seen multiple times on HN new apartments would be more welcome than farms. The cost of transport which these maps show in some detail is small because of our infrastructure (e.g. rail, barge, truck, and vessels). Crops and livestock really do ok in rural areas. Livestock[2] does better roaming between the summer and winter fields.

Energy generation is another rural activity. Although solar is fine on roofs[1], wind is rather annoying to live next to and with the possibility of fire when those turbines go best kept away from town. Coal, gas, and nuclear power plants aren't very welcome either.

1) even then, I get the feeling a lot of architects would rather have green spaces instead.

2) ok, well turkeys as we raise them are not an outdoor animal
Good moderation works well IMHO.
I know that Car IT has a large group there which originates from the Nokia office in Ulm. They also have lots of hiring postings on stackoverflow careers. But I don't really know how much they are doing in house within that group and which parts will still be externally sourced. Even if they are now doing more parts of the headunit themselves there will be still lots of other ECUs which are 100% external developments. For infotainment BMW probably has the most in-house efforts going on. Audi went another route and founded e-solutions as a joint venture together with Elektrobit, which is developing exclusively for Audi. Daimler is still mostly relying on external partners.

Now that you mention it, I have seen that movie! Okay. The rest of your comments, though, including this one, are just the same cocktail of bile and snark, with more than a dash of personal attack. That's not cool. It has nothing to do with how right you are; it has to do with what a jerk you're being on this site. If you want to comment here, please make your points substantively, without that.

I don't care about what you're arguing for or against, or who owns it. What I care about is trying to stave off the toxicity that poisons this community. It really is that simple, as you'd realize if you looked into how much effort we put into doing that all day, every day. There is no energy left for anything else.

Dark insinuations ("I also find myself extremely skeptical") are sure fun, but from my very weary point of view, a little pompous and a lot tedious. I wish I could share with you how this stuff feels on the 10,000th iteration.
Turns out X-Ray is sampling service, it drops data. You can use it to debug recurring problems, but it's no use when debugging a particular incident with the customer on the phone. Bummer.

To provide a performant and cost-effective experience, X-Ray does not collect data for every request that is sent to an application. Instead, it collects data for a statistically significant number of requests. X-Ray should not be used as an audit or compliance tool because it does not guarantee data completeness.

That is the logic they tell the voters, but we all know the reason this law was passed was campaign contributions and speaking fees paid to politicians from incumbent companies.
Because it has nothing to do with the story or the rest o the thread, this reads as empty snark. Since someone seems to have the bright idea of publishing this kind of snark on nearly every thread on HN, you can generally expect to see the light grey bottom of any thread you try it on here.
Amazon | AmazonUI (AUI) | Seattle; San Francisco | Onsite | Full-Time

AUI is the Front-end platform used on Amazon.com. We are modernizing the company's front end code base, while diving deep on latency, performance, API design, user experience, and cross browser/device compatibility. Basically, we need people who can build libraries, not just use them.

Our team is incredibly customer-centric. For any given situation, we have to make the right choice on behalf of the folks using our platform -- and we have to do it at scale. That may sound cliche, but within the next hour AUI will be used to generate tens of millions of page views. And that's just in the US. Worldwide, we're used on more than 95% of requests across all device categories.

It's a lot of responsibility, but also a lot of opportunity. For example, we can run experiments that change almost every page on Amazon.com. We can also impact the page load time for the entire site. We use these tools (but don't expect you to know all of them): HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Ruby, Java, Perl, Git

If you're interested in front end or mobile engineering roles, drop us an email: aui-hn (@) amazon (.) com
I wouldn't call that upper "middle" class, I would just call that upper class...
Thank you for the kind words! One of the things that's exciting about illumos right now is I see so many young technologists who remind me of that excited engineer you describe. ;) For example, look at the presentations from this year's OpenZFS Developer Summit[1]. Yes, there are some established names there, but there are also new ones -- young engineers who are attracted to this system for the same reason I was two decades ago: for not the system itself but for its community of talented, passionate technologists who emphatically believe in innovation in the operating system.

So hoping that you do indeed check out illumos this weekend; I think you'll find that while some of the names have changed, the spirit remains vibrant!

Good comeback. People in general understanding that and fighting it would be really helpful. Instead, they too often fall for the published excuse for laws or regs that only existed for money or votes in key districts.
I think that's being a little harsh. If you started something and A16Z offered you 7M you'd probably take it on the spot regardless of what it was you built. I'm sure when Ryan launched this thing he never thought it would be more than fun. It ended up spiraling into something much more than that. He was offered an investment from a grade A firm who was willing to let him to try and figure it out so he took it like any of us would have.

Good for them, let them have their moment.
I used to process accident claims. I have a certificate from a technical college that entitled me to the spiffy title of "Certified life and health insurance specialist."

If you can find a local Direct Primary Care provider, that is a "legal" option under the ACA when combined with a high deductible plan (or possible a health savings account). I have some info here:

http://micheleincalifornia.blogspot.com/2015/12/how-to-fix-a...

From what I have read, DPC reduces costs while improving care. Part of how it brings down costs is a) better maintainance care so health issues don't spiral out of control and b) cutting out the middle man of insurance. Costs are lower in part because you pay the clinic directly.
Hi, just to say that the Junior Developer program is awesome!! Congrats and I hope it is successful in its goals and becomes an industry standard!

Show HN: Micro – 3Kb SPA library
Traditionally, the names of all noble gases end in "-on", with the exception of helium, which was not known to be a noble gas when discovered.

The IUPAC guidelines valid at the moment of the discovery approval however required all new elements be named with the ending "-ium".

A new IUPAC recommendation published in 2016 recommends using the "-on" ending for new group 18 elements, no matter whether they turn out to be a noble gas or not.

In June 2016 IUPAC announced that it planned to give the element the name oganesson (symbol: Og), in honour of the Russian nuclear physicist Yuri Oganessian, and the name became official on 28 November 2016.

IBM Design | Front End Developers | Boeblingen (near Stuttgart, Germany) | ONSITE, FULLTIME

We are looking for front end developers in our Design Studio. We're building the next generation of products for our Analytics brand.

You'll be working with designers and other front end developers to build prototypes of designs, work on component libraries, websites, web apps, animations... You'll also have the ability to do side activities like filming, or photography.

We expect skills in git, JavaScript (vanilla if possible), Node.js and CSS. Additional front end skills like SVG are a plus, and an existing knowledge of design a big advantage - interest for the design topic is expected.

Our development lab is one of the biggest development sites of IBM in Europe with around 1500 people. And we have great coffee :)

We'd be happy to hear from you. You can apply from there: https://www.ibm.com/design/careers.shtml

I think the pendulum still has a way to swing yet. Quite a few places I know of are touting their new "activity based working" arrangements - which is HR/PR/Marketing speak for "hot desking, because rent is too expensive to even give you all your own desk in an open plan office, so you get to share desks and fight over what's left whenever you run late".

Many of the people I know who I consider to be in the "10x developer/PM/designer" category start picking up all the recruiter calls as soon as that's announced. I _strongly_ suspect whoever got "implement ABW to reduce real estate costs" as one of their KPIs also snuck "reduce renumeration costs by organically cutting headcount" written into their end-of-year-bonus goals, while explicitly leaving out anything to do with productivity (or more likely, ensuring the "productivity" KPI got dropped onto a career-ladder-rival...)

If only Randal O'Toole were actually a libertarian. He claims to dislike the government, but he pretty much loves government urban planning. Not sure why he's at Cato. (For more political diversity, I guess?)

Also he calls himself a "pragmatist", not a "true libertarian". Take that as you will.
I completely understand that AWS is designed for scaling. But I've seen CS professors and students get burned and turned off AWS when Amazon "screwed them" for a few hundred bucks when they were planning on spending $50. This is not good customer development. The next massive AWS user is a grad student right now.
This is based on the regulation that brokers can't be better than one another on the basis of price. You can't give "kickbacks" to your customer that make you appear to be a better option. The health insurance companies get the same premium regardless of broker (1), so this is about inter competition between the brokers, not insurers.

(1) OK, well in the large group segment you could make an argument that a sufficiently large broker could use that pressure to negotiate better rates with the insurance companies, but I don't know if that's the tack being taken here.
I don't think Uber's case is more obvious. Uber's business only works at scale, therefore they need to get there and deep discounts to get to scale make sense regardless of competitors. This is particularly clear in the case of Uber Pool which only makes sense with lots of riders using it, which you need to bootstrap somehow, or it will not be feasible for anyone.

Absio Corp in Denver, CO

A security startup that laid off 4 (of 12) employees the week before thanksgiving. This was in an effort to hire marketers for the product that was in part built by the 4 that were laid off.

They also took the Christmas bonuses and stock of those that were laid off and distributed them as incentive for the remaining employees to stay. There is a lot of political turmoil as far as I am told.
You are making all kinds of assumptions without knowing anything about the implementation.

"It's interesting that the article implies that the German manufactures are so intent on keeping the 'value add' from the internal combustion motors."

Enjoy that. Enjoy that right into the grave.

I bought two successive Audi A8s ... and then I saw a car that had derived AWD from two different motors and had a ridiculously low center of gravity due to the "skateboard design" and had faster acceleration than a supercar.

Since that moment, German auto manufacturers have missed 2 new car (flagship cars, even) sales from this consumer, and counting ...

Currently, an NY Times full digital subscription is $300/year; full + home (or just home, as far as I know) is nearer $500. Washington Post daily + digital is $90.
I am in the same boat: burned, early on, when playing with ECS. Given this announcement, and Netflix announcing they will contribute to the project, it's time to take a second look.
Edit: Other replies are better. Just going to add that if we create a new element that is stable it will be big news by itself.
Sugar is the cheapest ingredient. Why would they replace it by more expensive ones?
Yeah, there's a big difference between something that's pure distributed tracing (this) and something that does metrics/monitoring as well (TraceView, New Relic, ...). Sampling is a valid way to make distributed tracing scalable and performant, but it can also limit the use-cases for the data.

I imagine this being used for episodic debug cases, where one could turn up the sample rate and pay only for the traces captured/queried during an incident. But you would need to do your monitoring and trending separately.

I wouldn't be surprised if they eventually start integrating this better with CloudWatch for that reason, though it doesn't seem to be doing any of that today.

Disclosure: I work on TraceView (traceview.solarwinds.com) which is distributed tracing based APM product. We're inspired by Google Dapper and x-trace, both mentioned elsewhere in this thread.

> people whose skills go out-of-date, and can't afford a retraining program

United States job training programs do not work - they are a 1980s Reagan-era privatization scam to funnel tax dollars to private scam "training" and "job" centers that do not provide effective training or result in any meaningful employment outcomes: http://www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/book/?GCOI=8014010004030...

Job training needs to be stopped being mentioned as a realistic or viable option - it is a Republican distraction to free public universal vocational and university schooling in certified and accountable programs with qualified instructors: "why do we need free trade schools, we already have job training!"
Isn't a public agency per definition part of the government?
Definitely agree with the power of referrals. Our customers have significantly higher conversion and (it looks like) a longer lifetime if they were referred by an existing customer.
> Now recipients can simply challenge a gag order by sending a letter to the FBI indicating they won’t agree to it without judicial review, and the burden is on the FBI to then convince a judge that the gag should be upheld.

It's now closer to the territory of having to obtain warrants. Warrants can also be seen as subject to the same issue of biased judges, but at least you can now request judicial oversight by letter.
