There was never a 'problem' with jQuery apart from that it's quite a heavy file, especially for mobile, and some people want to stop having to download it.

It's never been faced by the problems that backbone, angular, react, etc. where they rapidly die as soon as something else comes along, because it's a well built utility library, not a framework that had to include nasty hacks to work.

But, technically, there are no problems with it. If it were included by default in browsers, everyone would still be using it over vanilla javascript as even the new vanilla javascript has really poorly designed and wordy APIs.

Round robin is somewhat better than random here, because you get more uniform distribution of requests to servers; but you do have to keep a counter and if you have multiple load balancers, with few requests, there's a chance that they'll get synchronized and you'll get bursts of traffic to one server, then the next, etc.

You still end up with uneven load if the requests are not equal in load generated (essentially always), but trying to be smart (choosing the least loaded/queued server) doesn't really work (too much work on load balancer, too much latency between request picking and load measuring, etc).

Apple has over $200B in cash alone. And does close to $40B a year in profits. Calling them heavily overvalued when their market cap is only $600B is ridiculous.

Talking about assets as if they are that important is so weird. How would you rate finance companies and other sorts of companies with tons of assets. They would be insanely undervalued according to your "analysis"
Actually not. I allow Javascript but I block web fonts because I think they're a stupid idea.

Your argument about desktop apps isn't very good because people can (and do) prevent desktop apps from doing certain things and accessing various stuff, like web cams, the microphone, system directories, the internet, etc. If my text editor breaks because it can't access my webcam, I'd say it's a serious problem.

Thank you! As someone who grew up in India and inherited a significant number of the Wodehouse collection from my Grandfather, I wasn't aware of any of this. Not all of my friends were into this kind of humor, but to me it was the British literary equivalent of the Three Stooges! There was a time when I'd read paragraphs over and over just rotfl.
I'm not sure if you intend this, but your comment comes across as a bit like "God, it's so embarrassing watching these old guys try to stay trendy by using the latest JavaScript frameworks, it's like seeing an old guy in skinny jeans riding a skateboard. They're not doing it because they enjoy it, they're just trying to act like the kids".

Who says using the latest javascript toys is only for the kids? Are you really worried that if you see old coders using the tools you like, that maybe that means they're not as cool as you thought? Is that really how technology works?
How preposterous. We have rules as a country for who is allowed to enter and stay. There is no country in the world that will allow you to stay illegally.

You might like to think so, but you'd be VERY VERY wrong. This year Trump surrogates began justifying their proposal to create a muslim registry by saying that the Japanese Internment gave precedence for their desired actions.

I'm not proposing solutions. I'm saying that "restrict publication" does not follow from "I'm seeing low quality content".

Don't restrict other people for your own benefit. Instead a solution that lets them do their thing while you get the content you want is much more equitable.
Ah, but my point was that they don't operate like startups. They may adopt a lot of startups' superficial trappings, but in their first three years, they aren't sharpening their objective by being cash-constrained and exposed to the evolving tastes and distastes of the outside ecosystem. They're semi-generously funded while building whatever will amuse Sergey and Larry. That's creates LINS problems, again and again.
SipHash is a cryptographic hash with a pretty good pedigree. The distinction between SipHash and Blake2 is more subtle than "cryptographic vs not".

I think this guy was too kind to STM. Otherwise I largely agree.

Despite being a C++ programmer I like using high level abstraction. I like being able to write a few lines and knowing what the result will be and having the computer just figure it out the details. Despite that I really want those abstractions to be as close to zero cost as possible. I also want to precisely know how to work with the contract the spec demands and the implementation reality requires, because performance is all too often a real concern for me.

STM has never had a role in any of that because it tries to be a panacea. It tries to fix everything for everybody. There is no way it can be an optimal (or even reasonable) solution for most problems).

I think me and the author would agree that naked mutexes are the gotos of threaded algorithms. Just as we replaced gotos with several kinds of loops, several kinds of functions, classes, lambdas and countless other more expressive tools, we will replace naked mutexes with a host of other tools. Have something you just want to run on some other hardware and get the answer from, try a future/promise. Have N units or identical work, try a parallel for or a one of the many GPU executors. Have a complex dependency chain of heterogeneous work, build a DAG of actors or other automata. Need something else, perhaps your threading primitive hasn't been invented yet.

PC games never had a title screens, until the first bad console ports around 2003 came along.

Instead of a title screen, PC games used to go to the main menu directly.

Even today, some console games like GTA V don't have a title screen, but many smaller games feature a useless title screen.

"He suggested that the female reputation for making tastier bread may derive from the fact that the skin on women’s hands is more likely to be colonized by fermentation-friendly lactobacilli from their vaginas."

This is the weirdest thing I've heard in a while and I wonder if there is even a slight possibility that this is true.
It's fantastic how the author was able to get this up and running, but not the hello world example.
I'm in Richmond VA as well and in my late 30s.

I do worry about aging out of this industry and my long-term plan is pretty similar to the path you have taken. My hope is that I can participate in the agency/startup ecosystem for another 10 years before I have to find something else to do. Hopefully that will still be in technology, and will probably be in Higher Ed or at a Nonprofit for a less money but more intrinsic rewards.

I haven't observed specific instances of ageism towards me or others (people being passed over for promotions or treated differently than younger employees), but I also haven't worked with many people 50+ since I started in this sector. I'm not sure how much of that is that people in that age group are looking for a more balanced lifestyle and how much comes from the companies that do the hiring.
On the plus side, when we reach a point where a child can be raised with no interaction with live adults, spreading humans to other habitable planets orbiting other stars becomes a lot easier.

We don't have the energy to travel fast enough for relativistic time dilation to make the trip short enough to make the trip in the working lifetime of the crew. The usual solution to that is the "generation ship"...a ship that takes hundreds or even thousands of years to reach its destination, but that is a self-contained ecosystem that can keep the crew, and their plants and animals, alive for the multiple generations it takes to get there.

Another proposed solution is to cryogenically suspend the crew, and then revive them when they arrive. The big problem with that is the "revive" part. Cryogenic suspension of a whole person is currently a one-way process.

While we can't do a whole person, we can do embryos and sperm.

That raises the possibility of sending a ship that is fully automated, with a cargo of embryos and sperm. When the ship finds a habitable planet it can land, unfreeze the embryos and sperm, and make some babies, and then raise them to be adulthood.
I don't think anyone's trying to argue a strict equivalence between Japanese internment and the Holocaust or the Rape of Nanking. We can identify injustices without forcing them to meet the standards of history's greatest atrocities, especially if we want to pretend that we hold ourselves to higher standards.

That said, it's chilling to wonder what would have happened if command had ordered the mass execution of the imprisoned. Would the military have had the integrity to refuse the command? I can't imagine that it would have been impossible to find friends or family of the thousands of Pearl Harbor victims who would have been willing to carry out such an order.
Regarding Muslims in the USA, I worry about those in government who might revive this line of thinking:

"The very fact that no sabotage has taken place to date is a disturbing and confirming indication that such action will be taken."

Sure. For starters SipHash targets a lower-end spectrum of device (in a way) than Blake2, and is also less flexible. Since SipHash produces a 64 bit digest it isn't suitable for many applications in the first place. The two also differ significantly in other cryptographic properties, making Blake2 a more secure and easier (safer) to apply choice.

I would tend to say that SipHash is, in a cryptographic context, more an "if you know what you're doing" choice, and not at all a general purpose [cryptographic] hash function.
Do you really believe that it was because Japan is dominantly a non-Christian culture and not because they look different? No, it was because they weren't white. And America has, for a very long time and even now, been painted as a mostly white and african american culture.

Even in modern Japan itself ironically enough, it's hard for some people to really picture non-white and non-african Americans as Americans. The word 外国人 (gaikokujin) really only applies to foreigners of European and African ancestry. I believe it's hard for them to picture those Americans as Americans simply because of the image that has been painted of the country.

Sincerely,
A non-asian non-african non-white American interested in Japanese culture

Unfortunately it's the same with Bootstrap and other JS/CSS frameworks/libraries like that. You typically only use a small subset but it is non-trivial to carve out the much smaller set that you need. There is some tooling that claims to attempt at cleanup, but not sure how tested they are.
In my early days of learning to program, I spent a lot of time writing console and web apps to better organize bible notes and linking verses together as I read through the bible. Then for extra "fun", I made a spam bot that would post my random notes and verses on various forums (and yes I know as my colleagues told me "that's unethical as hell").

But nonetheless, I was interested in it. I wrote most of the console stuff in straight C++ without objects, then went back and rewrote it with objects but not using inheritance (each object had a 'type' char like a,b,c etc). Then I rewrote it once again using proper OO and did away with the type chars.

I did not know HTTP, but through writing spam bots with perl I learned it well. I also made the same mistakes as earlier with just writing bad code (had one "master" script that I cut and pasted from and modified for each website), but I eventually modularized it and made a nice framework as I learned software engineering principles better.

My first job out of college, I automated a few tasks that had no interface using web scraping code that I ripped straight from my spam bot framework :)

Then 6 years later I needed to learn Python since everyone says perl is dead, and the only thing that really had my interest again was updating my spam bots to python from perl. Most of them had gone dormant or been banned by then.
Don't think the US didn't do everything it could to antagonize the enemy. Japan was repeatedly slapped in the face until it had no choice but to respond to protect its honour.

I'm not saying what Japan did was in any way noble, but it was certainly far from unexpected. The US administration knew the war in Europe was a serious problem if left unchecked, that Britain and its allies would never prevail, but there was considerable resistance to the war.

The attack on Pearl Harbor instantly catalyzed support.

This doesn't even touch on the fact that many American companies were looking at Germany as an important customer, a country spending lavishly to build up its capability, at a time when American companies were struggling.

Politics are complicated. It's rare that any of those involved in a conflict are entirely innocent.
After the US et. al. cut off fuel and oil trade. They don't teach you that part in school.

The saddest thing about WWII is that the people who started the war, by funding it, were never brought up on charges at Nuremberg. Prescott Bush and Standard Oil made millions off selling fuel to both sides. IBM made the punch-card based catalogue service for the Nazis. Henry Ford's company made tank treads for both allied and Nazi tanks and even built the rails leading to Auschwitz.

The reality is that there were entire industries that actively did everything they could to get that war going, in order to profit from it. People look at Hitler and forget that wars need to be funded.

For a content-addressable database, you absolutely want a cryptographic hash. (And please, don't make the mistake Git did: please include the name of the hash function in the "address", to make it possible to change the hash function.)

> Is there a use-case for this for "general hashing" and such, where sha256 is _genuinely_ insufficient?

Yeah. There are often times when you want to hash data but don't want to waste sha256-levels of cycles doing so. Applications are pretty much everything except cryptographic signing. Load-balancing, higher-quality checksuming, etc.

In my experience, you will hear the most important things from your friends, family or coworkers, so you could just try to not read any news at all. If you feel like you are missing important things, than I would try to go with a short daily or weekly digest of the news you care about the most.

This is my experience with Rendezvous as well. The very largest financial organizations using Tibco tend to have a whole group of engineers whose only job is to keep Rendesvous from throwing a rod. Their networks are also overprovisioned and their traffic rates are pretty straightforward to characterize.

You can, of course, use Rendezvous without multicast.

And: does anyone still use it? The last exchange I worked with that did was migrating from it to JMS (which sort of gives lie to the idea that Rendezvous's multicast performance was that big a deal).
Does that study examine the impact of access to healthcare or the impact of access to healthcare for a group of people that are relatively healthy?

The expansion would have been to people that were earning too much to qualify for Medicaid. That's going to mean they were relatively healthy.

I'm also not real sure that increasing quality of life and financial security is fairly described by the doesn't help them in People feel good about going to the doctor and having an insurance card even if it doesn't help them. I realize you are carefully talking about effects on objective measures of health, but maybe that isn't the only goal of such programs?

I actually really love containers so I will bite on this:

1) We use containers all over our process. From local development to production. In production we run in AWS ECS Service clusters with 9 containers per cluster. These are mostly rails servers and nginx reverse proxy's.

2) We run rails servers, nginx reverse proxy's, CI/CD uses containers, we have jobs for data processing that use containers. Probably other things too.

3) Things :D

4) Yes and no. We don't use orchestration tools but we do have orchestration using customer rake tests and deep integration with our CI/CD environment.

5) It's hard to hug a container... that's the biggest challenge.
It can be used to subvert the same origin policy and content security policy.

If you see a script tag with the URL bank.com/evil.js, the browser shouldn't assume that the bank is actually hosting evil.js. Even if the hash matches, the content might not be there.

The bank might be using a content security policy to minimize the damage that an XSS attack can do. It only allows script tags from the same origin. However, now an attacker just needs to load evil.js with a particular hash into the cache, and they can create the illusion that the site is hosting it, without having to hack the server to do so.

Of those 73 million, how many of them are serving the file themselves, vs pointing to it hosted by someone else? I know you can just point to google directly for their fonts, or unpkg.com for js packages. Is that something people also do for font awesome? Those shared links would greatly increase the cache level, and reduce the number of cache misses, and amount of data served.

Are you saying that Japan's decision to go to war over a hit to their oil supplies is reasonable and understandable?
I agree that they don't operate like startups enough, but it is in fact the goal of Alphabetization.

You're right that it's not working well enough. That's why I think they'd be better off simply making GV the largest private equity/venture capital firm in the world.

Are you kidding me? So honor was their reason to start a war that eventually caused millions to die?
They cut off the oil exports to stop the Japanese war machine.

I think xxHash was/is the fastest good non-crypto hash, and now SeaHash may be best. Although I'd like to see a bit more data on that (small keys? large keys? benchmarking methodology) than SeaHash's author is providing.
Who gets decide what is "good" for us? Us. It's our society, and we would have to give the keys away to have it be any other way. Democracy is the default, the resting state, although looking at history, you wouldn't guess that.

Since time began, people in power (read: wealthy), and their apologists, have tried to argue against it. But slowly, since the Enlightenment up to modern times, these kinds of arguments have fallen more and more on deaf ears. The more it was tried, the more the results spoke for themselves.

The last time I heard "tyranny of the majority" said with any seriousness, it was in the context of why South Africa should not end Apartheid. Democracy is something we've figured out now, finally, thankfully. There's no going back.
