What I am trying to point out is that it should be impossible to enjoy prolonged daily aerobic exercise under the constant respiratory distress the article is claiming for 'all such brachycephalic dogs.' Let me quote directly from the article: "The only time these dogs are not in some degree of respiratory distress is when you have them intubated under anaesthetic." What I am claiming, as a proof by contradiction of sorts, is that with proper exercise, it is possible that such a dog will not suffer from respiratory distress all the time, like the article is clearly claiming.

Sometimes I wonder if they might not literally be Nazis.
> This provides a lot of flexibility with very little liabilty to get their platform massive.

This is completely untrue. They are committed to spending that money with at least Google (whatever they don't use in infra, they have to make up with a true up payment). I don't know the AWS terms, but they would have to be successful at a level that is completely unrealistic for this to be financially sound (considering their growth numbers show users have tapered off).

"Snap’s daily active user grown went from single digit to flat last year"

If user growth is flat, and you're not yet profitable, the only nob you can turn is more ads or making ads more expensive for ad buyers. Neither option will endear Snap with either party.
You assume everyone acts rationally all the time, every time.
What you call "impartial data" somebody might make the argument that this data is promoting racial segregation.

By being able to track the racial makeup of every census tract you would be able to self-segregate.

If you follow this line of reasoning, then this action is a good one, since it promotes racial integration.

In other words, choose your side and then have at it!
When there are no shared principles and values, then there are no shared actions.
With OpenBSD, my experience has been generally good. On some laptops it just works by default, on others you have to configure it a bit and it will work fine after that. Here's the relevant man page:

Yarvin's having a laugh at all of you.

Early in the article:

> What is an app, anyway? It's shared computing. Everyone's data is one data structure, in one program, on one server, owned by one corporation.

This is a callout to the Nazi slogan Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Führer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%C3%BChrer#Ein_Volk.2C_ein_Re...

And then the only other time "shared computing" appears in the document:

> To paraphrase Walter Sobchak: say what you want about the tenets of shared computing, but at least it's an ethos.

In the movie The Big Lebowski, the protagonists are harassed by by nihilists that the sort-of militantly Jewish Walter initially assumes are Nazis. When it finally gets through to him, he says, stunned, "Say what you want about the tenets of National Socialism, at least it's an ethos."

Yarvin is a deliberate, meticulous writer who prides himself on his references. This is not a coincidence, this is a white supremacist laughing at programmers not recognizing that he's calling competing software Nazis. Well, I happen to be reading up on Yavin's buddies[0] and I understood that reference[1].

He's laughing at you because he knows the technical and political are inseparable, and the longer you think so the longer he gets to use you.
That really was a well written article. I know almost nothing about F5, TLS, Go, etc... and I had no trouble understanding the bug. Very educational. The man deserves a beer.
If the Spectacles and other similar things really catch up, they might need some storage space and computing power.

The problem with a strategy like that is it's hard to be better than everybody else who has the same idea. Perhaps their mistake was opening so many stores in the high-rent areas in the first place; it didn't really mesh with their original core market.
What? Shopify can identify which profit comes through which account
why not satellite download with mobile upload?
Let's grant them a period of huge growth and say they go from current 160 million users to even, 320 million after 1 year.

As others point out, they are spending $600 million per year between Google and Amazon. Do they make more than $2 per user per year?
That's very true. On other hand based on my experience from San Francisco Vim meetup many beginners give up because of a steep vim learning curve at the beginning.

It's better to start from something that already solves code editing problems and then customize it or even rewrite rc from scratch.
The first Model 3s still qualify for tax incentives. $35k with a nice rebate on top is perfectly affordable on a middle class salary.
Your "German Shepherd" today is nothing like the purebreeds from the WWII era. They were bred afterwards for looks, nothing else. The inherent intelligence remained and was left unchanged, everything else was selectively bred, so you get to enjoy cardiac failure and hip dysplasia as a result.
There are many dog breeds out there, and some have been bred strictly as companion pets for human beings. So yeah, human intervention is needed to overcome the genetic flaws brought about by the desire to maintain certain genetic traits.

Being that I'm of two minds on this subject, I think it's reasonable for people to take a side here. I still think the article is a bit misleading, but it is accomplishing something important: discussion.
In the Alexa top 1M there were less than 1000 sites.

And sites smaller than that top 1M are even less likely to be using it.

I don't find that a very large impact personally. F5 knows who their customers are and can easily contact them.

We don't need a big media panic blitz and dedicated domain name for this.

Fact of the matter is SSL accelerators just aren't all that popular now, SSL got cheaper with session resumption and newer ciphers, CPUs got fast and accelerated instructions for AES and all but a few people just use CDNs when their needs go beyond that.
At least that can be forgiven if you have accelerating revenue, which can't be said about many startups with big valuations.
They could do, and it might save them a few hundred million dollars, but the risk of project failure (lateness, budget overrun, etc) would be a lot higher. For example, committing $1bn to AWS with with a 5% risk of failure is a lot more sensible than committing $750m with a 25% risk of failure doing it yourself. It's entirely possible Snap's board would have refused to let them do it themselves if the risk was high enough.

I don't like Breitbart, but I believe Shopify is making the right call, for a long list of reasons.

Instead of focusing on Breitbart and giving it undue attention, we should all be listening to each other. Not listening-to-reply, but listening-to-understand.
I'm a little confused. Is this competitive to something like Spark?
Your location is the answer. In the US, engineers make more in the tech hubs like SF, NYC, Seattle. It is not true everywhere, in Austin TX for example, PM's make more money.

In europe, PM's rank higher so they make more money than engineers. I think Australia is the same.

Happy to hear about other countries/continents...
It's not like they're doing it out of the goodness of their heart. They don't have a choice, they were becoming irrelevant, and now they're playing catch up to try to bring back all the devs to their platform.
Add a checkbox to the order form. "Donate the profits from my purchase to the ACLU."
It is generally never free to stand for your principles. Do you want to encourage a world were people don't by harming does who do?

I would be very careful what I wished for.
Refusing to voluntarily engage in commerce is hardly censorship. All this post is saying is "We're totally fine with neo-Nazis, so long as we make some money from them."

A principled boycott is not censorship, it is further free expression. Shame on shopify for abandoning principles in favor of profit.
Source? That's a very serious claim to not have a rock solid source backing it up.
Adopt a greyhound or galgo español instead of buying purebreds. It's a noble cause, and they are both healthy races in comparison.
Are products really free speech, though? That seems to be the core of their argument.
If people stopped buying them, it would have that effect.

Refusing to do business with someone is not censorship.
I'll tell him.
Does YC ever visit non-top-tier schools?
I wish more businesses would simply be that. A business. I don't want to hear about your moral superiority, because it's a race with no finish line. I don't care what a burger joint's position on world economics is, you sell burgers. I don't care what the tech industry has to say about immigration, you sell software. Nor Nike when they just sell shoes, or Coca-Cola when they just sell soda. Chick-fil-A shouldn't be selling traditional values and Oreo shouldn't sell gay rights. Shut up and sell your product. And guess what, it's far less controversial that way. Let people cast their vote, not corporations.
And don't forget sharding. If your load is very much user focused.. i.e. user A only cares about the items for user A within the DB... you shard by user_id, and can now host 10 billion users on a farm of RDBMS.

On the other hand, it gets more and more operationally complex as you add shards and failovers and such. If you KNOW you are going to hit that scale (say you are an established company with 100 million customers), it may not be the right choice.
> when vi was originally produced most popular keyboard was IBM XT.

Probably not, since the IBM XT was five years in the future.

The canonical vi keyboard is the ADM-3A. http://terminals-wiki.org/wiki/index.php/File:Lear_Siegler_A... Escape is almost as accessible as Control.

The ADM-3A also explains why shells use ‘~’ to represent the home directory.
> At this very moment, I'm working on a classical DBMS, searching through around 200 million tuples within the order of 2 seconds (partially stored columnar using psql array types and GIN indexes).

hi, this comment was timely. I have been asking myself what to use to persist a 10 million node graph. There has been a lot of marketing around using Hbase (obscene to setup and maintain) and Cassandra (much better.. but paywalled).

My main db is postgresql and we use jsonb quite extensively. The problem is that there is a lot of statements that "a single huge jsonb table in postgresql will never scale. you will have made a horrible mistake".

Seems you have ample experience on this front - whats your take?
By your logic where does anyone that doesn't condemn BLM stand?
The headline is offensively misleading. A boycott, or severance of commercial relationship, is not censorship. It's people using commerce to express their values, which is also a form of free speech. Unlike true censorship, which comes from the government, both parties are free to seek other partners in promoting their products or messages. Lütke's attempt to paint this as a defense of free speech is disingenuous, and his attempt to portray anyone who disagrees as a censor is downright dishonest.

[edit: "refuses to censor" seems to be a local modification to the original headline, which is definitely supposed to be against the rules]

Well, that's your opinion and you're entitled to it. But pugs do not have to suffer pain and discomfort throughout their lives _if_ the owners are responsible. Many aren't, and sadly those dogs are going to experience pain and discomfort.
Does Microsoft use this for anything in production?
Yeah, that sounds totally plausible. But Lady Gaga has a song called "Born this Way", while at the same time saying that she's queer and denying that she was born any particular "way".

Edit: I'll add in a better source here than a pop star. American Association of Pediatrics: "The mechanisms for the development of a particular sexual orientation remain unclear, but the current literature and most scholars in the field state that one’s sexual orientation is not a choice; that is, individuals do not choose to be homosexual or heterosexual." https://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/pediatrics/11...
I'm so glad shopify has the guts to stand up for white nationalists and calls for American ethnic cleansing. How brave of them to hold strong against those whiny liberals who have gone too far calling for the shutdown of hateful rhetoric against non whites and women. Free speech means that you can call for the violent oppression of an group, and still be entitled to turn a profit on it. Truly American values.
I doubt their concern is saving money in this case, it's more about time to market for new products/features. If they can get a head start by spending more up front and focus entirely on their product, they may be able to grow significantly faster than if they kicked off a multi-year effort to role their own infrastructure.
Hi! :)
The processors are now 64 bit, but the low ram means you're going to suffer if you use a 64 bit OS.

Also, for some of these machines they use a 32 bit UEFI, so even if you want to use a 64 bit OS you'll need some weird tinkering to get it installed.
http://lifehacker.com/5953755/what-exactly-is-freedom-of-spe...

Freedom of speech refer's to a government's responsibility to protect freedom of speech. Private organizations are not held to that same standard.

This is why websites can choose their advertisers and why reddit can ban a subreddit.

Shopify should censor Breitbart.
Debian testing is similar in "rollingness", Slackware and Alpine are similar in the sense of "no frills". OpenBSD is a good non-Linux choice to try out.
I highly, highly recommend people write their own vimrc from the ground up and add plugins as necessary.
Especially since you can't solve supply-side problems by manipulating demand.

Universal Basic Income cannot meet the minimum survival needs of the population as long as it does nothing more than transfer money.

The vision most people have when thinking about UBI cannot be realized without some form of command economy separated from the profit-motivated consumer-goods pipeline. If all you do is give poor people cash, their landlords raise rents, their grocers raise prices, and their bus lines raise fares.

Any UBI that I'd actually expect to work is nowhere near as simple as just cutting checks.
How freedom of speech has changed in ten years:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Freedom_of_speech...

From:
"'Freedom of speech' is the concept of being able to speak freely without censorship. It is often regarded as an integral concept in modern liberal democracy."

To:
"'Freedom of speech' is the right to articulate one's opinions and ideas without fear of government retaliation or censorship, or societal sanction."

Note how retaliation and censorship might no longer be considered an attack on free speech, if done by private individuals or non-government entities. Also, free speech is apparently no longer "an integral concept in modern liberal democracy".
Nobody has the obligation to help fundraise for hate speech.
This really hits the nail on the head. My main driving force behind all of this is financial freedom - not in the sense of, as you put it, "buying a Ferrari tomorrow," but just being able to do what I want, when I want, without having to cater to other peoples needs to afford it. I find the idea that people work so fucking hard just to be able to afford to work really fucked up. At the same time, I have more than many people I know, and I earn much more than many people I no. However, I still don't have the freedom to just relax. We live in a backwards society where we live to work, work to live. No one is able to just live, unless you're content with living outdoors off the land (I'm not).
Bash Scripting the Awesome Guide Part2
Yes. Snap is at $1.05 per user (daily actives) in the most recent quarter, up from $0.31 the year prior. That's just for the quarter. They can probably hit at least $5 or $6 per user for all of fiscal 2017.

Facebook is at $7.16 per user in the most recent quarter (based on daily actives; it's $4.62 based on monthly actives), and Twitter is at around $2.23 per user based on monthly actives in the most recent quarter (I can't locate recent daily active numbers).
I didn't mean to conflate them, but I think it's fair to mention far-right groups in the same breath.
It's very well know in contractor circles that if you remove anything you're likely risking your job.

In general, I support Shopify not dropping Breitbart. But this line I don't think works:

> When we kick off a merchant, we’re asserting our own moral code as the superior one. But who gets to define that moral code?

Well, who do you want to define your moral code? Do you want to define your own moral code, or do you want Breitbart to define your moral code?
Pugs are bred to look like human babies IMHO, with flat faces and eyes in front.

Even the size is about right.
and at the end we'll have either one of the coolest pieces of engineering and technology ever, or...throwaway pics.

NB: I really hope Snap ends up doing some really cool stuff with VR/AR and makes my comment seems stupid in hindsight. Maybe if they could live-stream in full 360 VR the launch and landing of a space X rocket...

Luckily getting the local IP address is easy enough from UWP: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33770429/how-do-i-find-th...

That will work since it is treated like all other network traffic. localhost and 127.0.0.1 are considered privildged routes since you can bypass the firewall and exploit local processes to escalate.

That's not fair at all.

People are deeply attached to their pets, once those are actually born and part of the family.

Here the vets just need to stop working with breeders. Those are not emotionally attached to their pets, and they are the one considering making specific adults mate for some specific genetic material.

Stopping this market has nothing to do with telling some family that they should just give up on their dog. It's far sooner than that, before the animal is even born, that a change has to be made.

They already did UWP-only Windows. That was WindowsRT. Nobody bought into that either, but Microsoft still really, really wants that closed-market, walled-garden style business model to happen somehow and so they're going to keep trying.

I believe that their next strategy is to release a full Windows OS (with Win32) that runs on ARM which lets Win32 apps run via an emulator. In this environment, Win32 apps will most likely run like crap and as a matter of course Microsoft is going to keep pushing everybody (developers and users) toward the model that they think will make them the most money.

It's really no problem for my career because I stopped exclusively using Microsoft's tech years ago and I'm comfortable using Linux or a Mac if necessary (but really, I can't stand their UI and I think Apple is even worse than Microsoft in many, many ways). I just like the Windows UI the best and I'd like to be able to build stuff for it in the future....but not if they are working towards taking away my freedom to control my own computer.

Make it easier for would be attackers.

If someone knows the minimum requirements are 8 characters, alphanumeric, with one capital chances are the majority of users are using that minimum.

Add to this most people use easy to remember and common passwords one wouldn't need to brute force every possible combination just the most likely combinations. If someone is brute forcing and they can't get it by just going through a list of the most common they will probably just stop and move on to the next user. Attackers are not often after one user they are just trying to get the easiest ones.

That sort of thought has interesting philosophical implementations. You're positing that when our creations interact with others, we are unconsciously the ones interacting with others.

To a deeper extent, when you create and then raise a child, and your child grows up and interacts with others, that is also a case of you unconsciously interacting with others.

Follow the chain of creative identity backwards in time to the beginning, and you end up with the cause of the universe, whatever that may be, unconsciously interacting with itself, through everyone and everything.

It's not very relevant, and perhaps not even important, but it's an interesting perspective :)
That's not censorship, and as such is not "consistent with the position of the ACLU". In fact the ACLU has supported boycotts, which is what it would be.
