Building Event-Driven Microservices Using CQRS and Serverless
And as I have learned the very hard way, a judge can just decide it doesn't matter and the appeals court probably won't care.

Please don't ever rely on how it's supposed to be - always, always put in clarifying statements and examples in any contract. Everything should be extremely clear and readable by layman, otherwise even things that should be obvious can be devastating.
My apologies. My reply was an attempt at political humor. No connection to the LibreOffice software.
For the majority of Hispanic immigrants, smartphones are their only computing device. I'm a believer than an app always outdoes a "mobile-friendly" site. Also an app lets you require a user to sign a ToS once after installation without requiring accounts. For a website it's not as seamless.
That's a very sensationalist way of putting it, especially when they say "Don’t take too dark a view of the reporting environment..."

Stop Filing Bugs, File a Container
Having a snapshotting storage system (NetApp) once saved a lot of pain when I accidentally deleted the wrong virtual machine disk from an internal server (hit the system disk instead of a removed data disk) I was able to recover the root disk from a snapshot and bring up the machine in less than an hour.

Snapshots are not a backup strategy, but they make me sleep better at night regardless.
Impressive lulz in this post. Do you require an outrageous sense of humor as well?
Unfortunately, it's how most people, on both sides, define it.

Far too many people are unwilling to recognize that news that confirms their world view might be fact. They cannot or will not challenge it, and simply accept it as fact.
By all means, let's keep focusing on the Clintons. That's obviously the important thing here.

> If you subject you thoughts to strict formal rules of rational thinking, than it would be hard to manipulate you.

If the brain was fundamentally a linear processor, you might have a chance. But the brain is almost entirely a pattern-machine, and linear, logical thought is mostly an artifact.

Humans can be programmed like any AI. It just requires the correct stimulus.
Not everyone that doesn't share your beliefs is a fascist.
I have no horse in the race, but this response feels a lot like you handling the situation vs actually caring about being unfair to developers.

Once you do get the new version of the contract, I suggest you read it from a random developers point to view. Maybe even have a "Show HN". Aim for reasonably unrestrictive? Because of this blunder, you now have more to prove! You wont have much of a marketplace if developers don't feel valued.

Why is a FAQ about your contract required? Isn't the contract the canonical agreement? Are you, in case of legal trouble, going to refer to both the FAQ and/or the contract? Seems a bit weird to me.

ps: I've found "standard" contracts are what everyone says when talking about their own contracts.

Maybe it's just paranoid me, but I would expect key loggers at the very least.
I can't characterize the performance of my app on a dev instance. I don't even think it's possible. You could characterize in the sense you do it for algorithms(with regards to time complexity).

But in general this is my(our) process.

- First I write the code.

- Then I test the code locally.

- Then I test the code on an instance with a copy of prod data. If I want to debug at this point, I run the web process locally while my DB configuration points at that specific server with the prod data.

- If it's code that spans across more than one subsystem(e.g. it also involves async celery task/queue servers) I test on a staging environment, that duplicates(as much as possible) the prod infrastructure.

- Then I deploy.

Obviously there are other various details, plus rollback plans in case something still goes wrong, but that's the gist of it.
I agree. The problem is the only thing Democrats or Republicans hate more that each other nowadays is people who are nonpartisan. Very few sane voices can be heard over the screaming of partisan hacks lately.
Just remembered - Gigster did a big press thing about the Gigster Fund - was meant to give contractors a piece of the pie (I think in equity), but there's no available written info on this internally and HQ declines to answer any concrete questions, just states that it's a work in progress (see a pattern here?) and that it's awesome.
We are getting closer. A few months back, I pulled the Alexa Top 1M: Of those, ~550K had port 443 open and were speaking HTTPS. Of those, ~270K had valid certificates (not expired, not self signed, matching hostnames, etc).

Planning to do a follow up to get a trend. Also some deeper analysis is needed: Many of the HTTPS sites just 301/301 to HTTP for the same domain, and often to other domains. So while those are websites that speak HTTPS, they aren't really HTTPS sites.
I've been using these arguments at my company for years. There's definitely FUD surrounding the JVM, and it's pretty ridiculous. Sure, it's not a perfect system, but it's usually disregarded for being "old and bloated".
Look at it this way... they just called Steve Bannon a rank, timid amateur when it comes to intimidating the press. They said, very loudly, we are not afraid of you. Good for them.
Start-up times are still an issue with Clojure on the JVM. For instance with Android I've found the initialization times to be pretty much a show-stopper for any application development.
Statistics are reductionist!

Well yes, that is their purpose.

Every story is political because politics is everywhere.

Politics is just how people manage decision making so every science story can be affected by government grants, every tech story by IP laws...
> Battery life is going to be a trade off for performance.

I totally agree and in my opinion this makes the laptops not really comparable.
Battery life can also lead to higher cost (e.g. display with lower energy consumption).
But I would also qualify the performance statement a bit. If you neither play games nor use Cuda, a graphic card is unimportant. If the applications you use are not or hardly parallel, a dual core might even perform better.

BTW: I checked again and the Samsung SSD has read speeds of 2.150 GBps and write speeds of 1.550 GBps, while the Apple one has read speeds of 3.1 GBps and 2.1 GBps write speed.
Non-organic: roundup (from http://pmep.cce.cornell.edu/profiles/extoxnet/dienochlor-gly...) The toxicity of the technical product (glyphosate) and the formulated product (Roundup) is nearly the same. The acute oral LD50 in the rat is 5,600 mg/kg [Rat]

Organic: vinegar (http://www.sciencelab.com/msds.php?msdsId=9922769) (LD50): 3310 mg/kg [Rat]

Of course there are hundreds of different chemicals to look at, and LD50 is not the only measure. It is enough to back up my claim though.

Whether ignoring the tails is an advantage or not depends very much on the situation.

For example, geometric mean of returns is the right number to look at for stocks because you are indeed exposed to the tails.
I think that the article is unfair to statisticians in saying that they ignore descriptive statistics. The problem is that one cannot choose systematically between different descriptive statistics without clearly specifying our objectives and what we believe about the data-generating process. Otherwise on what grounds can you say that the median is 'better' than the mean or the other way round? But once you specify these things you are doing statistical estimation, which is a major branch of mathematical statistics.
Not all apps involve connecting to an arbitrary set of network services or provide a listening port as an attack vector.

Regardless, these are not exclusive values. We don't have to have one or the other. If Apple ships a device that is defective, it's bullshit for them to say "that piece of hardware is two years old, it's not going to get fixed."

Ask yourself how many if the goods you have are less than two years old? I'm not saying they should bring every feature from all later releases to the older devices, but actual bugs should be fixed for longer than two years.
That's a lot different a context than web-application deployment, though.
Canned tomatoes are still less flavorful breeds, they're just fully ripened.
I was simply replying in the context of the article which is regarding abuse of H1-B visas and a fix. Actually it applies to the larger category of all of STEM, not only IT.

I don't think it is right to drive anyone's wages down through immigration whether working class or STEM.
Way back when I ran a comment engine that was a custom Java servlet running on an embedded (i.e. mostly interpreted) JVM on a NSLU2: a 266MHz ARM with 32MB RAM. The servlet container was Winstone. Can't remember what the JVM was, sorry.

Load wasn't exactly high, but it worked absolutely fine.

I don't remember exactly how long I had been using this skillet for my eggs -- a couple of months, perhaps, no more. I started having urinary difficulties, went to my doctor, and was diagnosed with Benign Prostate Hyperplasia. He didn't identify any specific cause nor prescribe any treatment, but somehow I got the idea that it might be the Teflon and stopped using it. The problem, which I had never had before, went away and has not recurred.

It's possible this particular skillet had been overheated at some point, though I certainly wasn't using high heat to scramble eggs. But still, why take the chance? The ceramic non-stick surfaces you can get these days work well enough and are much safer (AFAIK, anyway).
Well, that's were one makes a conscious choice to live below their means, and save money for a while, in order to build enough capital to bankroll the new enterprise. Or one might go the "friends, fools, family" route. Or heck, even work a new thing as a nights and weekends project for some period of time, then go out and raise money from angels, or early stage VC's.

The point being, there are options and - to some extent - the onus is on individuals to take charge of their situation and improve if, if they're dissatisfied.
Ask HN: Why do all major OSS RDBMS (PgSQL, MySQL, MariaDB) have an animal logo?
PostgreSQL has an elephant, MySQL has a dolphin, MariaDB has a seal.
Hi, Debo gave me a similar response... used my own SOW contract at the time but haven't applied to work with Gigster since you instituted the new terms.

What you're missing is are two clauses regarding clear indemnification of the contractor, especially as it relates to pre-existing code, and two, clarifying IP ownership on that same pre-existing code. Gigster seems to pre-suppose that any pre-existing IP the contractor uses in the course of completing the contract is somehow assigned as property of Gigster upon execution of the contract. This is crazy.
seriously. fox news. cnn. msnbc. EVERYONE said it.

538 said it was 66/33 or 75/25 or something similar (i forget, but it wasn't 90/10 in favor of Clinton) and they got roasted over it when they don't even control any of the polls.
I guess they forgot about me. I use iOS but since the app takes so long to load I just stopped using it. I consider it to be a bit heavy.
Ask HN: What was your worst “oops” moment?
Given the recent GitLab data incident, I think many of us likely have scar tissue from a time we did something regrettable in production.

- Accidentally nuked the production database?
- Deployed a not easily reversible change?
- Decommissioned irrecoverable infrastructure?

Revenge is underrated. Forgiveness is great, but only if the guilty party alters their hurtful behavior. If they just keep up their wicked ways, there's no moral reason to keep forgiving them over and over. Indeed, I'd argue it's rather irresponsible since you know they're going to hurt other people.
OK, and your point? They said 90 percent. Not 100.

I wonder how it would compare to the fasthttp libary https://github.com/valyala/fasthttp

I don't suppose the hand tuned microhttp parser supports h2?

Pipelining is a dead technology that was never really alive. For those who aren't familiar with it, it's based on a http "hack" where after http/1.1 was released and response end could be signaled via something other than EOF on the tcp connection they figure you can send n requests in a row and receive n responses in a row. This was in the days where good manners required you make no more than 2 simultaneous requests to a server.

Nobody ever really supported it, and the lack of support for out of order responses meant that any one slow request could slow down everything else. The h2 model allows at least hundreds of simultaneous requests and responses multiplexed over one TCP stream.
> In general, the median conveys remarkably little information. It's great at showing the center, but it gives zero indication of anything else.

The median also has zero ability to make me coffee in the mornings, but I don't think I can hold that against it.

I can imagine situations where getting people to track or listen to even a single number is tough and using the mean as a measure of both central tendency and the stability of the distribution over time might be the least worst option. But is that really a common problem? Have you often encountered situations where it was impossible to communicate something like "the typical customer buys five widgets but more than 1 in 4 of our customers only buy one" because it contains two statistics and management insists on being briefed with just one?
The diametrically opposed interpretation that donors were afraid of retaliation by the Trump administration is frequently offered; and there are a lot of subtle shadings in between that one might also reasonably believe -- e.g., donors perceived the power of the Clinton brand as a key advantage of that organization over others, but the election defeat tarnished the brand and eliminated the advantage.
I used to think this too, until I came across http://www.scylladb.com/

It is a fork of cassandra written in the Seastar c++ framework and is drop-in compatible with cassandra. Claims 10x increase in performance.

I always thought there was a few percentage points difference - never a 10x performance difference between java and c++. And that too for a project with as many man hours and facebook-scale tuning as cassandra.
Use of Ad-Blocking Software Rises by 30% Worldwide
I would interpret it as:

a) HTTP/2 is often only supported in encrypted mode (h2). E.g. all browsers only supported the encrypted version, and lots of server side libraries then went the same route.

b) encryption might not be needed, if the services already communicate to each other in a secure environment (e.g. are located on the same host, run in an encrypted/secure network, etc.) In such environments the additonal encryption on HTTP level will only show it's downsides, like lower performance and additional deployment/maintainence concerns (certificate deployments, etc.).

I'm no expert in cloud/microservice environments, so I don't know that the usual configuration is there. But in general I would agree that there are some environments where HTTPS is simply not needed, like using it for localhost IPC on trusted systems.

Interview process: 1 technical phone screen (1 hour over Coderpad), and 1 onsite interview (~4.5 hours of interviews + pair programming)
As a supplement to that, it's also good to get news from diverse perspectives (not just left/right). For example, Techdirt and Reason might have ideas that neither NBC nor WSJ are going to give you, and talk about niche topics that don't otherwise hit the radar. R/neutralnews is also a great community for people who want to discuss news with documented facts as a requirement.

As I said - I'd consider it reasonable but I acknowledge the practical problems with it. I think prices a pretty good as they are in e.g Australia and Scandinavia.
FWIW the "vim" vim-plugin for vscode isn't terrible either, if one wants all that with modal editing. I actually think that vscode with vim plugin is somewhat better on windows than vim is. Depends on how one usually configures vim, of course.
Absolutely, that's why I quantified it as 'prone'. Paraphrasing an all time favorite Briton of mine, we might be all equal, it's just that some of us are more equal than others.

> they've failed at the majority of them.

That's not SE's failure. SE has a fairly rigorous filtering process for judging whether a Q&A community is likely to survive.

Filtering out hundreds, if not thousands, of community ideas that will never get off the ground isn't failure on their part, it's the failure of these communities to reach a critical mass to be successful.

Once a Q&A idea makes it past "Area51"[0] and enters beta, which is still no guarantee of graduating to a fully launched and themed site, the SE team do actively nurture these communities to try and make them successful.

Yes, because price and quality matters. I have luxury leather goods and they worth every penny because awesome quality and the rest of goods just junk.

Does not work with Mac, you pay a lot and a chance that you will be in a trouble with it is very high. Like with last MBP. Apple must spend more money for QA and offer better hardware. I will look on their new mac mini if it will be updated this or next year, probably it will be my last device from this company.

Apple business is one of the greatest bubbles.
I think hughes's point was why isn't this just a website? (Which would work on all platforms, including iOS and desktop PCs, and would be searchable through Google.)

Exactly. If you're 50 and paying for your own cancer treatment, that's morally indefensible if there's anyone younger than you who needs cancer treatment!
