Right now it looks like it's around 50/sec. A lot of data points get rolled up by Telegraf on individual machines, and then it's shipped in via the UDP line protocol. I've written much larger volumes, though, and never had an issue with stability.
I learned this the hard way. Got a drive-by virus infection on Firefox a couple of years ago. I clicked on a link from a google search, and that website completely infected my machine, .exes started running. I thought it was a browser popup at first. It was not. Scary stuff. With Chrome, I feel much safer, and no such thing has happened again. To you, the reader, this might just be an anecdote. But to me it was very frustrating and time-consuming. These days, I always secure my browser properly, allowing only minimal amounts of cross-site requests, JavaScript and plugins.
The Russian alphabet is also larger than English.
It's also clearly picking horses based on political preferences. The science behind GMO foods is solid, there is consensus, and the same "doubt tactics" are being used against it, yet it's not mentioned here. Probably because the opposition to GMO foods is coming from the left not the right in this case.

If we're going to back Science in all things, we need to back Science in all things, regardless of where that leads.

If we're not going to back it in all things, and follow blindly where it leads, then it's politics and all decisions are up for debate, regardless of the science.

I have huge faith in our ability to steer a good course between these rocks. We'll never get it perfectly right, of course, but going by our history we also won't mess it up completely.
This may be an unpopular opinion here but if the TorBrowser folks cared about security they should switch to a Chromium based browser. The sandbox provided by it would be robust and well tested as it's used in Chrome.

I don't see why the two objectives of having a secure browser and the privacy/anonymity provided by Tor have to be diametrically opposed. You can have both.
It's interesting that Git 2.11 shortened the delta chains on aggressive repacks, when mercurial happily creates chains of > 1000 deltas (afaik, it doesn't have a hard limit, it stops using deltas when the size of the required deltas is larger than the full text).

Although it's worth noting mercurial and git use different delta formats.

Edit: This is apparently what chooses to store a delta or not in mercurial: https://www.mercurial-scm.org/repo/hg/file/9e29d4e4e08b/merc...

> In an outline of the Outsourcing Prevention Act, Sanders said the law would bar companies that ship jobs overseas from enjoying federal contracts, tax breaks, grants or loans; require clawbacks of federal perks; levy a tax that “would be equal to the amount of savings achieved by outsourcing jobs or 35 percent of its profits, whichever is higher” and prevent executives of companies that offshore jobs from drawing bonuses, stock options or “golden parachutes.”

Unintended consequences I see:

* Companies rush their plans to move jobs away before this law is passed.

* If it's cheaper to build X in Mexico, and an American company used to build X in the US as part of their product, now instead of moving these jobs to Mexico they might just eliminate these jobs and buy the product from some other company that builds it in Mexico.

We're deployed on AWS in multiple regions with VPNs set up between VPCs. No particular attention paid to securing the transport between Telegraf and Influx at the moment since a) it's either in an internal VPC or secured via ipsec, and b) our monitoring data is low-value enough that it doesn't warrant its own secure transport.

Very interesting. I can't claim to be very well read on the alt-right and its various personalities but this interview presents him as less one dimensional than MSM portrayals.

Irrespective of what he's saying though, I find that I'm now so jaded and cynical that I just assume everyone is speaking purely to advance an unstated agenda. I have almost no faith in any institution, to the extent that I view any alignment with my own values and priorities as purely coincidental, and not to be relied on as a predictor of future behaviour.

In my humble opinion, based on my humble work experience, this trend has not originated with overconfident engineers, but rather with cost-cutting managers.

For what it's worth, I've given up my car (I live within easy biking distance of work), live in a small townhouse (heating costs $20/month in the winter thanks to good insulation and neighbors eliminating heat loss to the sides). I purchase few goods, and try to keep most things as long as possible. Most of my entertainment/shopping is within walking/biking distance. I try to limit waste and compost/recycle everything I can.

My electrical usage is so low that I don't think installing solar would be a net win in carbon emissions.

Based on various calculators, my carbon footprint is about half that of a typical American. Now can I ask for a 28% decrease in carbon emissions?
I was disappointed my initial "balanced" party was very difficult to fight with, and I had to go back and remake a party where everyone uses assault rifles (and one sniper) and a backup melee weapon. I don't mind realism (in which that is the only sensible build for what our characters are doing, there is a reason real militaries carry around so many assault rifles), and I don't mind artificially balancing things out so that all weapons are equally valid or situationally useful, but don't tell me you did one on the hint screen, then do the other.

> If you line up the country's 100 richest metros from 1 to 100, household affordability falls as household income rises, even after you consider that middle class families in richer cities have more income

One thing to consider is that, although household affordability may be worse, other things may be cheaper and more convenient (relative to remaining income after housing expense). For instance, in NYC, although the housing prices are very high, there is no need for a car. And now with online shopping, anyone in NYC is able to get Walmart prices with delivery, at least for non-perishable items. Granted, some items like food are more expensive, but outside delivery services have brought the cost significantly down over the years. That's not even taking into consideration other benefits such as historic neighborhoods and great restaurants.

I think in the end people care about absolute income and not so much on relative proportions of the rent they are paying in housing. And it's certainly possible to live in a high cost city , get paid a higher salary and save a higher absolute amount every year.
I used it but wasn't too impressed with the quality of the results. Squarespace logo builder is still better. The good news is that that lots of people now know there's a market for this and we should see some impressive products in the pipeline.
> A 30 second glance at the source code makes it looks like this exploit pivots to attacker-controlled memory on the heap, and spawns a thread using kernel32.dll. As EMET has hardening against attacks like this, I am curious if this exploit works at all on EMET-enabled Windows systems.

EMET can be bypassed so it's no guarantee that it would stop the exploit (but it would probably stop THIS exploit). I don't know if some modification would be able to bypass EMET or other mitigations.

A better solution would be to run javascript in a sandbox (as is done in Chrome/Chromium based browser) which has a much higher barrier to exit.

Probably, for what it was worth the seller took back a second mortgage, my in-laws loaned us $10,000, we sold all of my Intel stock (about 500 shares), and dropped down to exactly $500 in our checking account to make that work. The interest rate was 12.2% on our mortgage (adjustable) which only adjusted every 6 months by at most 1.5pts and was tied to the LIBOR index. My wife and I are both engineers and were both working (pre-kids) so we made it work and ended up being able to pay off the loan from the in-laws and the seller after just over 2 years (28 months to be exact). But its true, I was only three years out of college and my wife and I lived in a house the bank owned but would let us keep if we kept paying them on time :-)
I removed my comment because it painted with an overly large brush.
You mention trying to compete with designers "on the same level", but this seems like a different space than design. I do logos for my clients and most of the work is helping them make choices about what they should do with their logo, not actually drawing it. Have you considered partnering with designers instead of seeing them as competitors?

https://www.jacobinmag.com/2016/11/bernie-sanders-democratic...

'Over the three decades following US entry into World War I, as working-class and socialist parties burgeoned throughout the industrialized world, American elites chose to deal with the problem by radically restricting access to the ballot. In state after state, petition requirements and filing deadlines were tightened and various forms of routine legal harassment, unknown in the rest of the democratic world, became the norm.

The new restrictions came in waves, usually following the entry of left-wing parties into the electoral process. According to data gathered by Richard Winger of Ballot Access News, in 1931 Illinois raised the petition requirement for third-party statewide candidates from one thousand signatures to twenty-five thousand. In California, the requirement was raised from 1 percent of the last total gubernatorial vote to 10 percent. In 1939, Pennsylvania suddenly decided it was important that the thousands of required signatures be gathered solely within a three-week period. In New York, according to one account, “minor-party petitions began to be challenged for hyper-technical defects.

"Although these statutes have been assailed on all sides,” a 1937 Columbia Law Review article reported, “their severity is constantly being increased, probably because the interests oppressed seldom have representation in the legislatures.” Indeed, when the Florida legislature found socialists and communists advancing at the polls, it responded in 1931 by banning any party from the ballot unless it had won 30 percent of the vote in two consecutive elections; naturally, when the Republican Party failed to meet that test, the state immediately lowered the threshold.

By comparison, in Britain getting on the ballot was never a major concern'
> The highest point in Finland is 1324 meters above sea level, on the Norwegian border, on the slope of Halti near the top. The top is on Norwegian side and its height is 1328 meters.

I wonder if the Norwegians could make the same gesture by dynamiting their four meters of peak off of their side, thereby moving the peak without moving the territory.

When a non-ambiguous short-hash _becomes_ ambiguous, can't it be disambiguated by simply disregarding those not in existence at time of reference?
Could you explain that a bit more?
From the Logojoy How it Works page.

The last step isn’t actually AI – it’s a genetic algorithm. As you ‘favorite’ logos, we apply a natural selection type process to generate more accurate logos as you scroll. Each logo is made up of hundreds of ingredients (ie ‘funky font’, ‘bold color’, ‘logo has a symbol’, etc.) – these are called traits in the context of genetic algorithms.

As others in the thread have already mentioned, the AI referenced in the previous steps seems more like a rules-based algorithm.
> When was the last time there was a reliable, public Chrome exploit with a sandbox escape? The only one I can think of was the Hacking Team exploit, which used a Windows kernel 0day to escape the sandbox.

Don't forget that it's not just the sandboxing and Chrome/Chromium based browsers can mitigate entire classes of bugs thanks to win32k lockdown. A recent example was a Flash bug which required access to some of the blacklisted system calls (GDI I think).
Your post doesn't make sense - how is that related to this? Why is not up voting this article being a good HN user?
The vision is simple hackable machines designed to be maintained. You'll spend quite a bit less on engineering costs if you dump most of the electronics and turn a tractor into an attachment bus for all of the electronic features you might want (crowdsourced or commercial). The mechanical design could be more or less static with only minor refinements and you might just end up with a machine that costs a fraction of the latest John Deere.

Cheaper machinery (and not having to hunt at farm auctions for good deals) lowers the bar so you can get more and smaller farmers which I believe is a big step to improving our food economy (and not just the money part, the whole (what|where|why) of growing food could be much improved if there was less focus on industrial concerns)

I only go home to farm for fun a few times a year – after a while it might not be only for fun.

> Yeah, the ML is still in it's infancy... To address that, I built in some more randomness into the algorithm so the initial logo designs can just get the user thinking and then we can get a better sense of their taste as they favorite logos. Without that randomness, the algorithm tries and fails horribly at creating logos.

Some variation of rand() indeed!
It's a simple ISA, but built to be fast. It's specifically designed to map well to OoO cores at the slight expense of some features on in order cores that give you little boosts (like branch delay slots and other exposed pipeline features). Last I saw, BOOM compared very well to other OoO cores at the same gate count.

In the 19th century, New York was given jurisdiction over the original land and New Jersey had jurisdiction over the surrounding waters. As the island was expanded through land fill, the newly created land was treated as part of New York until the Supreme Court ruled that the original agreement between the states gave the filled in land to New Jersey which is most of the island today.

Also this page from the Haskell tutorial: https://www.haskell.org/tutorial/patterns.html

Fun fact: early versions of Erlang (which Elixir is built upon) were implemented in Prolog, and IIRC what would become Erlang later was originally intended to be an extension of Prolog. There are no new ideas.
Right, I am so used to the square approximation being used for hash collisions that I forgot it was an approximation. Thanks for setting me straight.

Couldn't agree more. If you have a monolith, you can probably get away doing dev ops as long as you don't grow too much. We have a handful of microservices and trying to keep up with the ops work has been hell, though part of that is due to AWS's tools. And this is without even a growing user base, just a growing app base. Burn out is definitely a problem in either case.

Hmm, OK. Yeah, if you legally have to separate the two roles then I guess you'd do that. There still needs to be some sort of interface, though, that's all I am saying.

For example, in places I've worked there was a "definition of done" where in order to have a new service be taken on by ops, it had to meet certain criteria so that the people running all these services had some common basis for diagnosing and running them. You don't want 100 different ways of calling a healthcheck on a service. You want service nodes to be able to handle a hard shutdown without data loss, maybe. Stuff like that
AFAIK, work for hire is separate from being contracted as well. Unless things have changed in the last 10-20 years you can have a valid contract to spend time and deliver software without the copyright assignment that comes with WFH.

In fact, this was common practice for doing enterprise consulting to small businesses when I was doing it at the start of my career. You could frequently reuse layouts and components between jobs since it was mostly basic 4GL+RDB, and it was typical to have no work-for-hire clause at all or a very limited one excluding reusables; or to charge a higher price if the client insisted on the clause to cover redevelopment.

I believe this was also the model that early open source companies such as Cygnus (who I also worked for) was built on. Large companies paid us to port the toolchains to their systems, but I believe the copyright was retained by Cygnus (and presumably reassigned to the FSF).

If someone had work for hire in a separate agreement, and I was otherwise inclined to take the "wait until requested" route, I'd probably wait on returning it too. I don't think I'd sit on the contract that said I'd get paid though, and I'm sure they're usually combined. I just wouldn't point out the omission if I got a contract without one.

Same in Seattle in the late 1800's.

> While a destructive fire was not unusual for the time, instead of rebuilding the city as it was before, the response of the city leaders was to make two strategic decisions: first, that all new buildings must be of stone or brick, as insurance against a similar disaster in the future; and second to regrade the streets one to two stories higher than the original street grade. Pioneer Square had originally been built mostly on filled-in tidelands and, as a consequence, it often flooded. The new street level also assisted in ensuring that gravity-assisted flush toilets that funneled into Elliott Bay did not back up at high tide.

The thorniest question seems, to me, to be how to integrate local government on the city or county scale. Citizenship is fairly straightforward - make the inhabitants citizens of both countries, and let them renounce one and live in the other if they wish. How to ensure that a village has the zoning regulations they want when it was handled by a county in another country seems trickier.

I donno man, the longer I use typed languages the more I hate untyped ones, if only for the IDE help alone.

All the newer static languages use type inference anyways so its not that common to need to specify explicitly.

Besides, if you want to turn off the type system you can just cast to object or use "any" in the case of typescript.

JavaScript's untyped insanity is also the main reason it's around 10x slower than c# or Java.

Again js is a familiar example, but untyped "numbers" are HELL if you're trying to do any real math or implement a mathematical algorithm. I decided against porting one of my libs to JS for that reason alone.

A lot to lose and nothing to gain with dynamic typing.
