Another way of thinking about this (also mentioned in the docs somewhere) is that Ceu "pretends" that any reactive code finishes infinitely fast, similar to how garbage collected languages "pretend" that computers have infinite memory.

Neither truly does, of course, but the idea is that for the vast majority of situations where either type of language is used, that's a good enough approximation, letting you vastly simplify the problem that you're solving.
Thanks. Just landed in Europe for Git Merge. It is heartwarming to read some of the comments here. We realize that we only get this leniency once and we'll learn from this and communicate our lessons in a few days from now.

We use it because it works well for us. We've put a lot of work into making MySQL scale for us to the point where it's a very well supported system and one of the main choices for a lot of storage decisions.

We even use MySQL as a queue for Facebook Messenger. More details about this:

In all fairness, all press geared towards internal consumption does that - at least in every western country I've lived in.
Over the past two years I've been working on a cross-platform crypto library for Python. One of the aspects of it is that it doesn't require a compiler (it uses ctypes or cffi), and works with the cryptography libraries shipped via your OS.

Part of this library is a TLS implementation that uses SecureTransport on OS X. If someone is inclined to get requests (and pip, etc) running on the system Python on OS X, it should be possible with the guidance outlined at https://github.com/wbond/oscrypto/issues/10. Unfortunately, it isn't something I have time to work on right now.
Just know that your transparency here in this situation has put you leagues and bounds ahead of other vendors in my mind.

Thank you for sharing.
Please forgive me, but I don't understand your hostility.

I understand that there are perfectly legitimate reasons for using a database as a queue. If you frequently need to look at and rearrange your jobs while they're in flight, chances are a pure FIFO structure probably doesn't work that well for you anyways. If the enqueue is contingent on a transaction committing, probably makes a lot of sense for the job to be in the same database. You don't need to tell me -- I've seen more than a few in production.

But an actual message queue also "works perfectly fine" based on the information provided, and I would imagine that a company like Facebook probably already has a few of those lying around. It would have been a conscious choice to use MySQL as a queue.

I swear I'm actually, seriously just curious!
> And this is why people vote Trump.

Irrelevant and nonsensical comment is irrelevant and nonsensical.

> I never mentioned second hand smoke, it's irrelevant to the conversation, if the science is there then ban it where it harms others. Australia does this for instance.

GP said that smokers are "doing no harm to anyone but themselves". Since secondhand smoke is known to kill and otherwise harm non-smokers I would very much argue that smokers are doing harm to others. Hence why parent brought up secondhand smoking.

And that's why Australia has laws against smoking indoors (outside your home) and near public places where people have no choice where to stand (such as near bus stops, on some promenades and other similar places). Unfortunately, there are no laws against smoking on busy sidewalks (in NSW) and the pitiful "3m from the entrance" laws don't actually mean you can enter or leave some cinemas without running into a wall of carcinogenic and toxic smoke. Not to mention that people routinely break the law and smoke near bus stops (which as someone who catches public transport, this pisses me off no end and I enjoy telling smokers to fuck off when they decide to increase the cancer risk of the people around them).

I have no issue with people that smoke in their own homes. But people who decide to smoke on public walkways where other people are walking past are simply disgusting for harming others because of their habit.

They produce amazing coffee, once they have been dialed in, and will continue to do so, as long as they are continuesly calibrated. That is my entire point - we still need baristas to do the calibration. Maybe some day we don't, but until then we cannot say we have it figured out at all.
It is fairly large, but I still find it more organized than some examples I've seen.

Also, I don't see another very common issue with big gemfiles in that they don't seem to have multiple solutions of one thing in there (ie multiple REST clients, DB mockers, etc).
Thanks! Standardizing on MySQL because of internal expertise is definitely a great reason.
That makes no sense. You can already develop iOS (or tvOS) applications in Swift, the runtime bits are provided by the pre-existing Objective-C runtime.

There's certainly some stuff in AWS that requires you to type the name of the thing you're deleting into a text field in order to delete it, but I suspect that's purely a UI check -- there wouldn't be so much point in requiring the name twice in the underlying API.

So if you've got a dud client implementation then you're going to lose the check.

One way to do stuff like this is to have separate roles for read-only and read-write access. I pay a lot more attention to what I'm doing on the rare occasions I assume permissions to change things.
A lot of sympathy for YP. I could have been that person (on a smaller scale) many times. An expensive lesson in this case.

Why not just run PyCharm on your local box and tunnel-via-SSH-and-pydevd to remote-debug your programs on the target system? You get (a) a full IDE running on your local system (no need to install anything on target system); (b) full debugging and breakpoints; (c) your choice of any "real" or "virtualenv" Python deployment on the target machine. Downsides are that your own source code on the local and remote systems need to match (for your step-through-code to make sense), and you need to set up mappings between directories with source code on the local and remote systems -- but that's a low cost for full visibility into how your program runs on the target system.
You've described my situation poretty well.

I am in my mid-40s and have been flailing around career-wise for a few years. Here is my January "Who wants to be Hired?" post in case anyone has good leads for grey-friendly remote positions: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13344823
I am running a Python 2.7.13 installed with official Python installer on macOS Sierra (10.12.3). Besides the built-in openssl (0.9.8zh) which came along with the macOS (/usr/bin/openssl), I have a newer version (1.0.2j) installed with macports (/opt/local/bin/openssl).

However, even though I have configured my path variables that it will use the macports openssl-files, the Python installer seems to link by default to the /usr/... openssl-files.

I've tried quite a bit re-installing Python (with the installer and building it from source; the latter failed with some obscure error I wasn't able to resolve), so I was wondering whether there are any better options. Upgrading via homebrew seems simple enough, but due to using macports, I'd rather not use homebrew. Furthermore, I am a bit reluctant to use the macports-python, but might do that if you were to suggest me that this is the only viable solution.

I'd be happy to hear your suggestions on this!
I'd do it in org-mode, with a table of data and a short code block to do the summing. (Probably not in awk, although it's probably an option; most things are. Table formulas are also an option; I don't use them as often, but for this they're a good fit.)

It's a great environment for exploratory programming, not least because it abstracts away tedious stuff like file marshaling. You name your data source, bind it to a variable name in the code block header, and then just use it. A data source can be another code block, too, so complex multistage transforms are still easy to express.

(It's also great for producing a throwaway prototype to validate an idea and demonstrate the result, without ever having to fear you'll be asked to promote it into production. When the first step in doing that is to install Emacs, even the most gung-ho manager grasps that this is the wrong shortcut to take.)

Imagine a world where people with intent to lock things down and the experience to know how to do it well are also coding in secure-by-default languages: you get to a point where even a scanning tunneling microscope isn't enough to get you access to the code either from the console or from the game.

This is why I've always found these "safe" languages and the general security trend rather worrisome: they can effectively secure our devices against attackers, but also against their owners. Personally I think these issues need to be solved before advocating for these more secure systems, as otherwise we'll just be locking ourselves out.

The leader of YC is a gay man. A number of YC founders are also gay.

I bring this up not because it comes up a lot, but because you seem to view homophobia as an "opinion" that should be respected by gay people as "inclusive" and "diverse". You can certainly believe that, but you're not likely to get anywhere with it.

Good morning (posted from throwaway for reasons Ill describe).

I feel for you greatly here, and I commend your openness about how data restoration caused 6 hours of data loss. I too work in a critical area where even minutes DB lost is bad.

We just had our own test event recently. We make sure that we can fail everything over, and run on all secondaries. I found out how that worked; we failed. The problem with this, is I found out after the fact. Due to the secrecy, not even the teams knew why things failed the way they did. I had to piece it together from disjoint hearsay, and now I believe I have a competent picture.

So yes, when I read your post mortem and RCA, it reminded me greatly of what happened here as well. But we all can learn from your example. As for me, I'm posting it as a throwaway due to likely threats on my job.

You're stretching the metaphor beyond its breaking point. There's no limit on the number of civil rights organizations out there; the ACLU does not have any exclusive right to sue over certain issues or coordinate other groups, it's just particularly old, effective, and respected.

Unfortunately I had similar experiences as well; incredibly manual processes, frighteningly long manual procedure descriptions instead of scripted solutions.

My opinion: script it. Always. It doesn't matter if it's ansible, bash, puppet, python, whatever, just make sure it's not an ad-hoc command. Test the script on a server which can be sacrificed. Test as long as there is a single glitch. Run it in production.

I agree with you that alcohol abuse is a problem, but it does seem to me like a different take would be required to reduce binge drinking.

2) A lot of alcohol is consumed in bar specific pints, not the packaging it's sold in.

The C runtime libraries on various platforms do much the same. The environment array is not provided as such by the operating system, so the C runtime libraries set up their internal instances of the environment array, and sometimes of the entire environment. As you say, everything is easy as long as one always sticks to the C library functions for accessing/using the environment, and as long as one does not mix multiple C runtime libraries with one another within a single process (or indeed multiple runtime libraries from multiple languages).
I don't think that evidence is what would determine if it's worth of scientific study. For me it's testability the criteria. If the thesis is testable it's worth of scientific study because we will learn something form the test result.

If a thesis is not testable, it's just an idea in millions (i.e. existence of God). The validity will remain undetermined and there is nothing to learn from studying it.

The concept of evidence defines a narrower scope.

The testability is determined by the existence of constrains that must be satisfied.
