Here's how it works in our case:

1. Start a new process, start accepting new connections

2. In your old process, stop accepting new connections — old ones are still active.

3. In the old process, close old connections when they become idle.

4. In the old process, wait until all of your connections are closed and then quit or automatically quit after a timeout.
Consider the pressure / race to the bottom this puts on the rest of the EU though. The EU has an incentive to try to keep things fair between the states (disallowing sweetheart deals to lure companies away from other members), because this sort of competition is harmful to the EU as a whole. It's not like Apple is going to stop selling to Europe; they'll be somewhere if not Ireland, and the EU benefits as a whole if Apple is not allowed to skip out on paying its share.
Those are some really interesting options. I recently picked up a new Asus Zenbook ux330ua (basically Macbook Air, but significantly better specs and ~$500 less) for mobile use and was going to start looking for a new desktop option.

I really like building my own systems, so buying one prebuilt would be strange, but that's some serious hardware for pretty nice prices.
I still use Firebug daily and find it better and easier to use than the Firefox Devtools which in turn is slicker than Chrome Devtools, although the latter enables you to easily develop directly on Android devices connected by USB. I hope they retain the layout and most of the functionality.

I don’t like this. While I strongly oppose tracking and have a variety of privacy extensions installed on my browser, clicking on ads is simply wrong. Someone will have to pay for those clicks. Not to mention that if something like this gets wide adoption then it will make click fraud detection even harder. A bunch of browser sessions randomly clicking on ads will have no difference from a bot doing the same thing.
Well, no, I am not. You are incorrectly extrapolating that from my argument.

What I am saying is that from an regional economic point of view, throughput is more important that individual latency. In the context of widening highways. That is it. I did not say anything about other competing transportation methods.
> It might be better if the FDA and its counterparts instead regulated for drug _safety_ in humans and let the academic and clinical communities evolve their professional consensuses.

The problem is that safety is not binary - it's a question of severity and probability of adverse effects vs the benefit of the drug (the risk of adverse side effects is more acceptable for a cancer treatment than a cough medicine for instance). The purported purpose of regulation is to balance risk vs benefit. Therefore the regulator needs to incorporate the indication into their decision, and so they must evaluate if it actually works.

> They instead drift up the sides of the computer, making the screen closer than the touchpad.

Hmm… if you did that on a new MacBook Pro, wouldn't drifting up the side leave your thumbs somewhere near the Touch Bar? Maybe Apple should add support for scrolling on its edges. Of course, that'd still be a much smaller target than the screen... on the other hand, it would work regardless of window positioning and even with an external monitor.

I'm only speculating, since I don't think I've gotten into that habit myself (not having a touchscreen).

The other way to look at it is Palm, QNX, and Linux technology never became as successful as NeXT technology in the mobile space. They could have bought those technologies and made them successful or maybe NeXTStep was the key.

My observation of the smartphone market is that Moore's law always wins. Microsoft knew that from the start; they build a mobile OS (Windows CE) designed more for future devices rather than current devices (like Palm did). So ultimately when the technology matured enough, Microsoft was ready and Palm languished trying to modernize. Ultimately, Apple did one better over Microsoft and simply ported over their desktop OS to a smartphone and beat everyone.
"we built a small wrapper around the WebAssembly component in V8, that allows it to also consume native code input via asm.js in addition to the native bytecode format."

It's written between the lines, but how I understand it, the optimizations they produce are finally the same that Mozilla did since it introduced asm.js. Later on it's shown in the example:

This:

"use asm";
function f(x) {
x = +x;
x = x * x;
return +x;
}

Is basically reduced to:

0x10a04e985b0d 13 c5f359c9 vmulsd xmm1,xmm1,xmm1
0x10a04e985b11 17 c3 retl

Of course, before they acknowledged asm.js, the working part of JIT-ed code was much, much bigger, the author describes it:

"It’s a lot heavier since it has to use the JavaScript calling convention."
On the contrary, because it has a low perceived value they make up for it with volume. Look at how Uber throws insanely high paper-valued equity to its hires. Similarly when I worked for a startup I was promised almost a full percent of a company they expected to grow to a hundred-million dollar valuation. $1m for a year's work? Can't go wrong with that.

(Side note: I didn't get the equity as I was conveniently laid-off a few days before my cliff vesting date. Lovely...)
I went through a similar experience (although not as extreme) when coming off of citalopram, even with a doctor's guidance.

Lots of nausea and disorientation, but worst of all were the "electric shocks" which really were very disturbing.

Not a single mention of these when having the medicine prescribed!
I'd said this is pretty accurate. A lot of the guys I work with more or less took this route.

List of Rules from the OWASP ModSecurity Core Rule Set
Having formally studied mental illness and also suffering from mild clinical depression myself, I'm of the opinion that unless you have studied it, have it, or have a close friend or relative with it, the average person just won't understand mental illness at all. It's so counter-intuitive in so many ways.
In the case of Hackintosh, the easiest builds use already supported hardware. The reference builds on tonymacx86.com need very little if any tweaking.

There are also high quality third party drivers, for instance Creative Labs, Logitech and NVIDIA Web Drivers.

If things move more to using USB C and Thunderbolt, that situation will only get better and better.

In short, it's already a non-issue.
Ethernet is not as cheap as USB 2 for low-cost/low-performance devices. And it's not as fast (plus higher overhead) than Thunderbolt for high perfomance applications. Thunderbolt is (very loosely speaking) PCIe extended outside of the computer.

(And yes, I'm assuming bare ethernet frames, not IP or such)
I will suggest you either consider renaming the project or take pains to indicate that this is "Entrepreneurs Anonymous" in the sense of "We don't want our current employer to know, so this is confidential" and NOT in the sense of Alcoholics Anonymous.

If it were me, I would frame it in a way that focuses on "People starting small" or "seedling businesses" or "Biz Lite." I would frame it as being aimed at people choosing to start it on the side and actively looking to avoid VC money. I would frame it as "for folks looking to bootstrap" rather than "for overwhelmed people who desperately need a shoulder to cry on."

"Bootstrappers pooling their knowledge and experience to achieve success more rapidly and with less pain."

You might also go over to metafilter and check out their FAQ and guidelines for the AskMe section. There are a lot of things about Metafilter that I think suck, but AskMe has developed some best practices for keeping the focus on actually answering the question. It isn't perfect, but if you have no idea what you are doing here, it is a model to work from.
I think the subsidies are actually helping the universities (by driving up tuition), not the students. Aside from that, I don't think the evidence supports the idea that liberal arts college degrees are honing critical thought skills, though that would be a worthwhile pursuit. Here is a piece which sums up some of my issues with the case for the liberal arts.[1]

> Yeah but some solutions scale dramatically better than other solutions,

Better for who? Most of the people using this freeway likely don't live within decent public transit access, and the money spent here is so low, that fact wouldn't have changed for most of them.

> With highway expansion we're trying to scale up the transportation solution that is that requires the most area. This is dumb

Yes it takes up the most space. But it's also the most compatible with existing housing + job transportation, and is the most flexible in terms of arrival and departure time, and is the least likely to hurt the housing market (increase costs, gentrify area).

Trains and buses are great too, but they have their own negatives as well. This "all freeways are bad" attitude simply isn't true.

> and expensive.

This freeway project costs $22 million per mile. Yes, light rail has a higher carrying capacity for pedestrians, but it usually costs between $50 million and $100 million per mile. A lot of your "take up less space" requests explode the costs. LA's Crenshaw Line, for instance, is $165 million per mile, in part because some of it is underground.

Light rail is a great option that all cities should be investing in. But there's no need to race-to-the-bottom on transportation. LA is growing fast enough to need a freeway and more light rail. It's OK that money gets spent on some of both.

It's not like LA is ignoring public transit. There's already 11 active bus/rail projects in some state of construction right now, and many more on the way - https://www.metro.net/interactives/datatables/project/
The telescope of the next generation
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), previously known as Next Generation Space Telescope (NGST), is a Flagship-class space observatory under construction and scheduled to launch in October 2018. JWST's capabilities will enable a broad range of investigations across the fields of astronomy and cosmology. It will also help people to understand the formation of stars and planets. It is named after James E. Webb, the second administrator of NASA, who played an integral role in the Apollo program.
2017 – the Year of Privacy? But this time, for real
The economics are telling us that we can't afford the students that are coming out of these majors. Either these fields are not preparing students to be productive liberal artists or we're turning out more students than we need (or both).

More importantly, I think there are a few departments which have a negative impact on our society, namely those which exist solely to perpetuate an ideology at public expense.
I've been very lucky. I don't want to say everyone can get through college without debt, because that simply isn't true. I also was blessed with a good job and some good timing. Mostly it comes down to my university being so inexpensive.

I went to community college first. In community college I found it was really common for people to be doing both full-time school and full-time work. My present university (BYU) also charges very low tuition - almost as cheap as my community college. I've also done some full-time work with part-time summer classes in order to keep my graduation on schedule.

I work for a web analytics consultancy, which has allowed my hours to be somewhat flexible. I started at about $10/hour which was enough to meet my expenses at the time (because I was going to community college while living at my parents). Within a year I was making about double that, which was perfect as it coincided with graduating from community college and moving 2000 miles to university (meaning I had to cover my living expenses). This is because the particular type of consulting we do is quite specialized - if I only got two or three real hours of work done in a week out of 20 hours worked the company was still massively ahead at the hourly rates we charge. The work (mostly coding) is different enough from my major (Economics) that I maintain interest in both.

My major is also taught by professors who apparently all prefer roughly the same schedule for classes. As a result, semester to semester time shifts in my work schedule are minor. I work in the morning and then do some work in the evening.

I won't say everything has been perfect. I don't spend as much time on homework as I ought to. If I procrastinate, a client's work might pop up in the morning before an assignment is due. So I've had to be much more structured in my classwork and often try to get a good chunk of it done on Saturday afternoons.
I love BeOS and had NeXTSTEP 3.3 (& later OpenStep) and BeOS running in my office. There was no real comparison, NeXTSTEP was better in every way except doing video demos. It was easier to program and had a decent UNIX. NeXTSTEP was multi-user. BeOS was superior to quite a lot of the other OSes at the time though.

We will really never know, but I suspect there were some serious problems when Palm bought the code and couldn't build a phone / PDA OS out of it.
I'm mainly waiting I can actually buy silicon, and can trust the company not to go under in six months since our products typically have ~10 year lifespans.

But yeah, this work and other work like it has me super excited about the future.

Micropayments have never worked well on the internet, not for technical problems, but likely more that the market isn't really there. I know I just want free stuff and I'm not going to pay to read a news article or blog post no matter how well written or researched.

So at the end of the day there is still no viable alternative to advertising supported content. Kill advertising and you'll take the content with it, because many of the content producers and curators won't waste their time for no return.

I don't like ads, but I like my free content, and ads are an acceptable way of financing it.

Edit: I get that some of you really don't like ads, but the quality of comments here is abysmal. You guys are living in some kind of dreamland if you think you can just kill of advertising and not lose something in the trade off (PS imagine a world with no Google, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, etc.) I honestly expect more intelligent commentary from HN, consider both sides of your argument.

Where I went to school my student fees went straight to the state board of education. This money was then used to pay for all schools across the state including grade schools, middle schools and high schools. The university received a portion of the fees I paid but ended up losing a few hundred dollars a year per undergrad. The difference was made up by grants, land and inventions created by the university, most of which existed only because of grad students.

Effectively the people of the state were unwilling to pay for their children and the future of their state and they made the university students pick up the difference. Add to that the fact that many degrees are unemployable because the economy is/was in shambles and you end up with students paying tax multiple times on their education.

What is going on with Apple and management? It seems like they are struggling to put enough manpower behind their many different hardware (MacBook, iPhone, iPad, Mac Pro, etc) and software (iOS, MacOS, tvOS, pro software, etc) to make sure they stay up to date, but I'm not sure why they aren't just throwing more manpower at it.

Honestly, a team that did nothing but update the MacPro every few months with the latest hardware can't cost that much, especially compared to Apple's coffers. Unless they are so blinded by the need to have huge margins. They don't need to change the industrial design for every iteration.

I'm just confused as to why they aren't committing more of their resources towards making their products better, instead, they seem to be hamstrung by a lack of manpower and engineers.
The poster above was discussing attitudes towards government in Canada, it seems a bit of a non-sequitur to bring up East Germany, North Korea, and Maoist China. This is one of the very strange dichotomies which seems to exist in the US, as if when considering economics or government there are only two sides of the coin, and anything even vaguely centre left is on the same side as Communism.

What didibus said applies to almost every developed country in the world, there are definitely those ideas towards government in Germany (including West Germany before reunification), Japan, and the UK. In most developed countries, you would be hard-pushed to find any party which followed attitudes you might describe as 'starve the beast', 'the best government is the least government' and so on. Even the most conservative parties in those countries in general do not think like that.

Why do you assume that you have to use the screen or the touchpad exclusively? Surely if you're going to be fliting back and froth between keyboard and scrolling you'll use the touchpad but if you're reading a longer form article you rest your hand on the desk with your thumb on the screen and scroll comfortably. Both can work.
I lived with my parents for a couple years and then spent some time in the dorms before getting an apartment for a few hundred dollars a month. Living closer to campus was worth every penny but it also meant I couldn't finish school without debt.
I don't understand #1, it's obviously not click fraud but how is it regular fraud? They want to track my clicks in order to gather profiling information about my personality in order to better influence/manipulate me. So now I use some technology to help me fuzz this information, I could do the same by clicking myself and browsing websites I dislike myself. Which would be boring and time consuming, hence the automation.

Where in the spirit of the law is the ability to surveil consumers reading choices in order to influence their spending enshrined? It just emerged when people realized that the information was valuable.

There were similar projects involving sharing customer loyalty card numbers for grocery stores, and I never saw the argument that sharing your card number with others was fraud.

I think you are seeing that if consumers protect themselves against this type of surveillance then the lazy (and cheap to measure) metric of clicks becomes a less effective metric for measuring advertising placement value. It exposes the fact that those measuring this were barely providing value to advertisers and publishers in the first place. That doesn't make it fraud, that just inconveniences a large industry that pays a lot of bills. Those are very different things, both ethically and legally.

As to 3, this has clear objectives, they are apparently just much farther reaching than you are comfortable with or agree with. I get it, I worked in the online advertising ad network business for many years, however I never fooled myself that this business was anything other than an unethical anti-consumer endeavour. That's why I don't do it anymore.
I'm not sure the folks who created this understand how ad tracking works. Clicks are such a small part of the equation that this is laughable.
> I'd also like to see cities build more houses where the jobs are.

This is what Vancouver did. The amount of cars entering and exiting the downtown core is the same since the 1960s, but the amount of downtown jobs is dramatically higher. This is possible because they substantially added residential housing into the downtown core so that many could walk and bike to work, and by adding rapid transit. Expansion of road capacity wasn't needed.

Additionally instead of a hub and spokes model where everyone would live elsewhere and commute into downtown, Vancouver is organized like a loose federation of towns, each with residential and employment options. In suburbs of Vancouver such as Langley, more people work there or in adjacent suburbs than commute into City of Vancouver proper.
I was working at Pixar at the time and a couple of us went out to lunch when the news broke to figure out What It All Meant. We passed Steve's office on the way out and one of our party, who had worked with him since early Apple days, congratulated him. The big question was whether they would keep the Unix plumbing visible and useful, or would it be buried under some API layer of no use to us Unix graybeards. Fortunately, the plumbing wasn't hidden in the walls.
I think defining social need by linking it to supply and demand for labor is dangerous and dehumanizing, and is in fact exactly what I was trying to point out in my comment.

edit: similarly, we need more engineers to rebuild basic infrastructure which would benefit society in tangible ways (Flint, Michigan?), but those jobs don't exist either. why?
Poly1305 is one of the few primitives out there that are provably secure.

That doesn't sound right. I guess this should read something like »is provably as hard to break as the underlying block cipher« in the same way that that a hash function built using the Merkle-Damgård construction is provably as hard to break as the compression function used. The article easily gives the impression that Poly1305 is provably secure in the same way as one-time pad.
> It seems to me that the purpose is to further constrict dissent and control the message.

I think you're ignoring the historical aspect here. Most news sites (especially ones for originally print/broadcast media) just threw together a commenting function at some point in the past 20 years because it was an easy thing to do to increase engagement. This was both before lots of people discovered internet trolling as a significant past-time, and before US politics were as polarized as they are today. These organizations never intended to be host to a "community" (though they may use that language in marketing).

Also what exactly does it mean to "dissent" against a news publication? What are you consenting to them doing in lieu of that? You can act against them with your clicks and dollars.
And isn't "controlling the message" literally the existential purpose of any publication?
