What you have you done to fix this issue? How many people have you told to not use Chrome?

Single sites are not the issue. The reach is. Alright, what's the matter if somebody knowns that I visit single comics site, right? Well, yeah, but if they also know that I also visit that other comics site, and that site too, and hmm, yes, that one too, then somebody starts getting the picture of me (disclaimer: this is not description of me).

> Anyhow, western countries do not have enough resource to finance clean energy in India.

Then they should refrain from advising India on it's energy program. The biggest polluter, after China, is the United States and the EU. Emission per capita is 16.5t and 6.7t in comparison to India's 1.8t. That is pretty crazy considering that the population of US is not even 1/3rd of India. If US isn't serious about moving to clean energy why would India be?

Every country has "pressing issues" of it's own and that includes India as well. The country needs energy and lots of it. It would be great if moving to clean energy was faster and cheaper than setting up coal based plants. It's just not the case.

EIA outlook: http://www.eia.gov/outlooks/ieo/world.cfm

Oil will be in demand for a long time. The demand might peak but headlines like this seem to indicate oil isn't needed anymore.

Most people do not realize that 6-7 million barrels of oil per day must be found year over year to replenish the depletion of old oil wells. This requirement will drive exploration and investment.

The latency issue is only present once, the initial page load. After that the resources are cached. Second to that, if you're following best practices for page speed, the user will not notice at all because a snippet of CSS that provides the initial layout and styles will be sent with the HTML body. Amongst dozens of other things you can do to make this a non-issue.
I know the difference between autoconf and its generated ./configure target.

Your comment overall indicated to me that you were talking about automake, not autoconf. But if not, fair enough.

E.g. you talk about "learn the generating language instead of the Make language". I know you were using that as an example, but there's no general non-horrible replacement for autoconf that you can write by hand, as opposed to automake where you can write a portable Makefile

You can of course write a bunch of ad-hoc shellscripts & C test programs to probe your system, but this is going to be a lot nastier and buggier than just using autoconf to achieve the same goal.

You also don't generally need autoconf to build projects you clone from source control in the same way that you need automake (because that actually makes the Makefile).

The output of autoconf is generally just a file full of variables the Makefile includes, if you don't have that file you can just manually specify anything that differs from the Makefile defaults, e.g. NO_IPV6=YesPlease or whatever.

The Git project, whose autoconf recipe I've contributed to, is a good example of this. You can "git clone" it and just issue "make" and it works, but if the default config doesn't work then "make configure && make" generally solves it, but you can also just e.g. do "make NO_IPV6=YesPlease" if it was lack of IPv6 that was causing the compilation failure. It'll then get your NO_IPV6 variable from the command-line instead of from the ./configure generated config.mak.autogen.
> So your main argument is privacy, not letting Google collect users' data, but then consider that most of your users are probably using Chrome, everything they type in the URL box is sent to Google (for autocompletion) anyway.

I can't control information they willingly give away, but I don't have to give them additional data on the people who chose not to send everything to google.

> Is looking at some comics website even a privacy problem? Let's say google finds out your user X looks at your website. What possible damage can they do? Sell it to the advertisers so they can target X with some comics ad?

For me it's because it ruins the search results. Just because I looked at a comic doesn't mean I want them ranked higher in search results. I've found the less google knows about me the better the search works.

Personally I'm about to give up on it anyway. Maybe if your a big site it's useful. I just want a list of page hits and the referrer url if possible. Analytics completely fails at this.

How much would you pay for a Spotify for news?
Yes, I absolutely agree with you on that. Nothing wrong with prototyping in whatever setting is most convenient.

I think w/ self-driving cars there is an interesting ethical question. The full auto cars on the roads today definitely aren't production ready, but they also have constant safety drivers. Probably even ACC systems are tested in the wild with a safety driver before production.

Basically, "is the safety driver sufficient to justify running prototype software in the real world?"
Other comments regarding Vultr's billing in this thread have put me off it completely.
Here is the thing: Most folks, when they in their late teens or early 20's, know a few folks they can get drugs from. The majority of folks don't. Of those that do, only a few of those use often. And of those, only some get addicted. I do think your 60% is high.

We control the dangers by having very honest public education, and training folks at the dispensaries really really well. Some drugs you can have daily limits on if you'd like, potency controls, and things like that.

"What of the health costs of all these consenting adults?"

You are already paying for a lot of that, as are folks in the US. Taxpayers pay for jails, after all, and those sorts of things effect the families' health as well. And if we are honest with folks and have rehab readily available, perhaps we can treat folks sooner and save some other money there.

"should society as a whole bare the cost of the drug addicted and unproductive majority?"
... Most won't be addicted, and only a few of the folks won't be productive. I think most folks will wind up using pot like alcohol, and the heavier stuff will be for occasional use. It'll be much like: Only a few alcoholics are unproductive citizens.

"maybe drugs should be legal but very expensive?" I've thought about this, and I disagree. At first, they should be a bit less than the black market just so that people are encouraged to buy from there. Then it can match black market prices. After all, you don't want to encourage the black market, otherwise you are selling in vain.

I'd much rather people buy cocaine or heroin from the state run facility. You have chances to intervene for rehab offers to regular buyers (your id would be scanned on purchase), limit daily purchases to safer doses, limit strength, and offer free needles. These all have positive benefits to society at large. The price only needs to be high enough to deter casual use upfront with some drugs - which is why pot should be cheaper than cocaine, for example.
> but then consider that most of your users are probably using Chrome, everything they type in the URL box is sent to Google (for autocompletion) anyway.

This is a conscious decision that the user has made to use Chrome and send their URLs to Google. When you visit a website you don't really get much of a say in this - you're up to the mercy of the website.

To be clear, I use Chrome (and Gmail and Youtube and Google Search and everything else) and I'm not overly concerned by these concerns, but I can appreciate when webmasters are being responsible with the services that they subject their visitors to.

I live in Utah and I can tell you exactly what happens when oil is no longer in demand. They offer numerous tax breaks per well to encourage exploration and increase production. I believe the term is "corporate welfare". One of the tax breaks has a stated goal of providing tax relief when oil prices are low. https://oilgas.ogm.utah.gov/pub/Publications/Lists/tax_incen...

This is the same government attempting to roll back solar tax credits because they insist that the solar industry needs to stand on it's own 2 feet and compete in the "free" market.
Extensible effects arise from combining a free monad with an open union of functors. Using an indexed free monad with indexed functors instead is a generalization that provides more expressive power.

Intuitively, I like to think of it as:

- Extensible effects describe what we permit (read from console, print to console)
- Indexed monads describe what we demand (you must auth before you can access db, you must open file before you can read it)

I'm actually working on doing a version of this in Haskell. You can see Oleg's version of it here: http://okmij.org/ftp/Haskell/extensible/ParamEff1.hs

I may have a more informed opinion after I read the states-all-the-way paper.

> No one running a real business on AWS wants a hard ceiling instead of billing alerts and service by service throttling

That's absurd. Of course there are businesses that want hard ceilings. Perhaps not on their production website[1], but on clusters handed over to engineers and whatnot for projects, experimentation, etc.? I've seen these things lay around for months before they were noticed.

[1] Maybe you don't consider startups 'real' enough, but I can totally imagine early stage startups wanting limits on their prod website, too. You can't save CPU cycles for later consumption.
> Instead of engineering around this (lazy loading services, fixing things, not doing things nobody needs) they had the great idea they could start the editor once and then core dump the in-memory state of a running editor. Then on later editor starts they would map-in the core dump and instantly be in a (somewhat) good state. Fails all kinds of smell tests and really speaks to bad taste having unbounded consequences.

Ask HN: Cassandra and Tableau or Cassandra and Elasticsearch and Kibana
I'm a student studying software engineering at San Jose State University. As a part of side project, I'm developing an application where data (NoSql) from Apache Cassandra needs to be visualized.

I'm having trouble coming up with a decision to use the right technology stack.
IMO tableau is pretty rigid regarding the structure of data plus not free and so i'm leaning more towards elasticsearch and kibana. But the problem is the data is not huge and there is no requirement to search/retrieve full-text data. Hence i'm stuck between the two options.

Please guide me and also let me know if i can use alternative technologies
> Please be extremely frugal with your money.

We are and will continue to be so. Two of us are sharing a 100 square foot office that we're subletting from a bigger startup. The other two of us work from home. We have no interest in flashy office space or things that won't help us get more done. With age sometimes comes maturity, and I think we're pretty pragmatic.

> If you can budget no more than $100K per year, you'll keep your company alive for a long time.

It's four of us, all very, very senior with family responsibilities. $100k isn't in the cards. But I don't think it needs to be. There's a chance that folks will buy Font Awesome Pro after the Kickstarter is over, so we're going to try that.

Also, this team is absurdly talented. We're told repeatedly that we're the only team at our stage that reliably delivers what we've planned. I'd put us up against any team of 4 on the planet to design beautiful, usable web software and deliver it on time. These folks are amazing.

Seriously appreciate your thoughts. :)
That said, I imagine anyone running a large deployment will most likely want to purchase a support contract anyways. This is why I don't understand the ForgeRock move (assuming this was intentional -- hard to say at this point): The people that are running larger deployments almost certainly have the budget and need support anyways so I'm doubtful that making the move make the source code less open helps their business in anyway.
Not sure if this is still the case. Digital ocean had a pricing structure for bandwidth, but was not charging for that used bandwidth because they did not have a way to show how much bandwidth has been used in a billing cycle. Best to ask them if this is still the case.
Well I used GUI Emacs for the 99% of the time. Maybe I should give terminal version a try... I had problem that i couldn't stop tweaking Emacs. I would do work, and come to the point of "aha, I need to this, no plugin on melpa, lets try hack it", and then I realize Emacs devoured my productivity! I like Emacs and it's Elisp eco system, but sometimes it goes too far. And I don't like that it has so many things included. I feel constantly like I use 0.1% of it...

You seem to be a more likely customer of their U500 platform, at over 1 GHz, 64 bit, cache-coherent multicore, DDR3/4 controller, USB 3.0, PCIe 3.0, and gigabit Ethernet. That one's also on a 28nm, process rather than 180nm. That should run Linux or an equivalent like the Raspberry Pi 3 or the Pine64 can. They don't seem to have an SBC ready for market with that chip yet.

This is their embedded / tinker / maker single-board computer based around their E300 platform with on-board SRAM. It's more like an Arduino or a Pi Zero.

This is pretty awesome. One key bit of information that the compiler has is that the coefficients are a constant array of length 12, which makes the loop unrolling possible and also means that the register magic is in play - it's seriously awesome that the compiler does this.

That said, I'd expect something similar to happen with a well-written C program. Would equivalent abstractions in C++1{1,4,7} be "costly"?

I agree it's better, you will get a compiler warning about a partial function. I did actually mean worse though. The GP at least to me implied that Haskell (for cases like this) sits in the lowlands between Idris (and other dependently-typed languages) and dynamically-typed languages. Idris deals with the problem "the right way" by helping you guarantee that you deal with dynamic objects in a compile-time-guaranteed safe way, at the cost of some hassle of proving it is. Dynamically-typed languages deal with the problem "the practical way" by letting you pretend its safe so you don't have to go through the hassle of proving it is, at the cost of runtime safety. I think Haskell can also let you do this, it just feels wrong to do it as a Haskell programmer.
