True, DO has no Pis. Why does it have to be a Pi, though? With the 1TB of bandwidth and the focus on IPv6, I'd think it would be geared towards networking, so that makes the machine irrelevant.

DO does, rent out decent machines that have IPv6 connections. At that point you can just turn off the IPv4 interface. Done.
> Expa's founder is from BC so I think them opening up an office there is mostly due to an excess of cash they have from Uber's success, not that it necessarily makes sense from a VC perspective.

The founder of Slack grew up on Vancouver Island and went to UVic, the co-founders of Tableau is an SFU comp sci alumnus; so is the founder of Buddybuild[1] (the first genuine mobile-first CI provider, raised a series A round from KPCB (!) for $7.6M which is unheard of for a Van company, let alone they managed to find an SV VC firm which was okay with the company keeping the company local).

The way I see it, it matters less why they came (whether it makes sense from a VC perspective, the founders are homesick, or as a response to shifting political tides in the United States) and matters more that they're here.

I don't follow your point. Is the problem not sufficiently awful to bother trying to solve it? Or is it that tech is off the hook because it's the schools or "the country as a whole" (whatever that means) which is more to blame?

The gender imbalance is particularly acute in silicon valley and I think SV has an obligation to do something about it. It isn't about whose fault it is.
Interestingly, what you've described sounds a lot like most of the OCaml I've come across (and written). I suppose that makes sense, really!
The reason the FCC needs to regulate public airspace is because transmissions interfere with each other. If there was a magical way to have no possible way to hijack or interfere with entities' assigned frequencies, the FCC would not need to exist.[1]

By your logic, the FCC should regulate a conversation two people were having in person just by virtue of them being on public land. Yet the FCC does not. The FCC also does not regulate the signs on the sides of buildings, even though light is reflected from them to public airspace.

1. They also have been given the power to provide censorship of public spectrums as well because some idiots deemed swear words to be scary.
This probably works if you're an average guy looking for an average woman. In that that case, you are most likely to be compatible.

It doesn't work so well if your interests, tastes, or personality are off the beaten track, however.

I have a lot of unusual interests and prefer to find women who share them. So my success rate at just randomly rolling the dice and having women just randomly roll the dice in return (such as with short profiles or speed dating) has been pretty low.

What has worked reasonably well for me has been having really detailed profiles. That way women really know what they're getting when they contact me, and I they're likely to be women who self-select to be relatively compatible with me by the time they reach out -- though there's always the chance that we just won't have much chemistry when we meet in person, and that tends to happen more often than not (though not as often as when I meet random women at bars, clubs, work, or wherever).

I've also never posted pictures of myself (though I have sent them upon request). That, along with my interests, helps to select women for whom looks aren't critically important, which is important for me (despite being above average in appearance myself.. I just don't want to be sought after primarily for my looks).

Another thing that's helped enormously is to find some way that immediately sets you apart from the crowd. My profiles/personals effectively scream "freak!" and that attracts freaks in return -- which is exactly what I want. That can be a huge turn off for the normals, but an attraction for people who share my tastes.

Not to get too philosophical, but I think it's important to somehow signal to others that you are like them. That's why dress codes for subcultures are still so important. They're systems of signaling that you share common tastes, world outlooks, interests. The same has to be done on dating sites, whether you do that through a pic of your biker tats or punk haircut, or (as in my case) by just detailing your interests.

Personality is, of course, also important, and that can come through your writing (or pics). I still have to work on that.. maybe take a creative writing course. My profiles are definitely way too dry.
Please dont. That subreddit is gross. Its like asking sociopaths how to make friends. The answer may make sense on some level, but to follow their advice is to discount a large range of human emotions. The red pill is the last place to go for real advice. Talk to your grandparents.

> Mozilla has complained for quite a while that their ALSA backend hasn’t been supported or updated in years, and they don’t have the manpower to do so. (Especially with their marketshare falling below 8%).

What an utterly ridiculous argument. You're implying that everyone using software has to keep track of every single upstream project, their mailing lists and requests. That doesn't even remotely scale on a personal level. There just aren't enough hours in a day to be able to read all those mailing lists, and that's assuming every end user even remotely has the skills to understand what is being discussed anyway.

As an argument, this makes no more sense than "Well it's an open source project, fix it yourself".

This kind of scenario is always going to end up happening.
The benchmark's accuracy is debatable, as it does not put all parties in even ground[1], nor it list in detail everything used for all systems beyond Dragonfly BSD.

[1] FreeBSD's nginx port does not have a functional 'reuseport' compilation flag, which greatly impacts its performance in the benchmark, whereas Linux and Dragonfly BSD do have it in a functional state.
You can turn that on and off in the settings in IntelliJ already, and it only enables that suggestion if you're using a Java 8 JDK.

Thanks, naming/branding is a bit of a hobby of mine.

One thing about the name, however, that for me now rules it out as a recommendation, is that the two words are not articulated by a consonant; the ending vowel of "Expo" blends into the beginning of "Easel".

An unfortunate pairing, at least to my ear, that when spoken quickly sounds like "Expo Weasel" :)
Some people presumably don't have a right kind of discipline to study on their own. This is why remote study programs can be a lot more difficult to complete vs. on-site programs.

I needed the structure and social interaction of the college environment. But oddly enough, it depended on what discipline I was studying. I would not have been able to learn math and physics on my own, and those were my majors. On the other hand, I easily taught myself programming and electronics.

A friend whose daughter got an online degree (while at home with a baby, living in a small rural town with no other options) said that the hardest thing about studying online was the sheer boredom of sitting at a computer all day with no one to interact with.

A particular advantage of going to college for me, was that I learned how to teach by observing my professors in a variety of settings, and imitating their methods. Today, a lot of my work is surprisingly similar to teaching: Presenting ideas to people who are not experts, mentoring younger colleagues, etc.

To address your 2nd point: as far as I know, Digital Ocean's IPv6 doesn't provide the things you'd need to run an IPv6-only server (e.g. there is no NAT64 or DNS64 gateway, no v4-to-v6 proxy for letting the v4 Internet reach your server).

And sure, if you just want a little bit of computing power and literally don't care where from, you might as well get a VM from somewhere like Digital Ocean instead of a Pi from Mythic Beasts, but that is beside the point. This is an offer to rent a Pi on an IPv6-only network, which nobody else is doing.
It's such a mess though.

You have gif with all its quality loss (256 colors and etc.), and then to make matters worse it's getting shoved through webm/mp4 encoding.

And then there's everyone from Imgur to Twitter missing the point of why gif is even a thing. Because it is simple. Because gif is treated as an image and not a video format. Because you can right click it, and save it for later use. Can't do that with "gifv" (seriously, I had to use curl just to get the video file from Imgur), and definitely can't do that with Twitter.

Neither webm nor mp4 can kill gif yet - mp4 is a patent mess, and webm comes closer (4chan for example has a quite big SFW community of people trading videos), but there are issues with Apple refusing to support it, and lack of hardware support.

I am adjusting your level of "awful".

"Awful" is going into court 3 times because the court couldn't get your house title right because you are married but didn't take your husband's last name.

"Awful" is being told you don't need a scholarship because you're just going to get pregnant anyway.

"Awful" is being a female in Japan who felt that suicide was her only option because if she got fired she was never going to get another job.

Does Silicon Valley need work on fairness? Yeah, on a lot of fronts. However, almost all of them are malfunctions of "power". Trump wasn't grabbing pussies because he's in Silicon Valley.

It's a few lines of code to get sbt to combine everything into a single jar. Do other languages not requiring including libraries?
How so? LLVM is used to implement language features, performance-hostile ones included. asm.js is a codified way to avoid language features.

You may be confusing layers here. asm.js as a compilation target is used the same way as LLVM- it is used to implement the source language's features, while simultaneously avoiding some of JS's.
Both sides should make an effort to understand the other person's language and point of view. The speaker doesn't always know the other person and their biases and what pisses them off.

If I'm talking to someone 1:1 and they don't put in the effort to understand what your real point is, it's not worth continuing the conversation.

> Underrepresention is a problem worth addressing in its own right.

Not on its own, it's not.

The vast majority of healthcare workers are female. 98% of dental hygienists, and 91% of RNs are women.

There are 3.6m programmers in the US (as of 2017) and 3.5m nurses (as of 2011) - programmers and nurses have relatively similar salary ranges.

Is the underrepresentation of men in the nursing profession worth addressing on its own?

How about electricians? 99% of journeyman electricians in the US are male. Is that worth addressing?
Hey seszett good point, I removed the blur. For context, I wrote this project a while ago and never got around to cleaning it up.

>Self-managed, multi-DC? Congrats on having a lot of money to blow, I guess.

Putting a rack in a COLO is still self-managed for the purpose of what I'm talking about. It's easy to get multiple data centers where you are renting the space and electricity but you still own the hardware and can make agreements with various ISPs to get service from.

>How many DCs are you talking about here? Are you self-managing in 4+ DCs? Or are you running in 2 DCs and your capacity is overbuilt by 100+%? In either case, deep pockets are nice to have.

See comment above.

>Also, does your maintenance strategy seriously involve bringing down entire DCs? This is kind of absurd and makes half of me jealous of the bathtub full of cash you must bathe in. It makes the other half of me question some engineering decisions you've apparently made.

See comment above. "bringing down a DC" doesn't mean shutting everything off, it means from the perspective of your end users, your service is not available there.

> because you'll face the same challenges as Amazon and those guys aren't idiots.

No, but they have much different priorities. If all I want is static asset hosting, the loosely-coupled micro-service architecture you are referring to is completely overkill and results in the very instability you are claiming is normal.

>Complex systems fail and when people tell me they built an "internet scale" system with better uptime than Amazon, I'm left to assume that they probably just do a bad job of tracking uptime or else that their systems are not at the scale they imagine. Everyone who builds large systems experiences outages.

Nobody except Google and Microsoft are building something as complex as the entire AWS stack. The vast majority of AWS users are using a tiny percentage of the features that come with AWS and can get by on much simpler systems that are easier to reason about and maintain.

When you dump the majority of what Amazon is actually running, you have a much simpler system and architecture and actually can beat Amazon's uptime.
Ask HN: An enviornment based crypto currency
I have been dabbling with this idea of a crypto currency which takes into account the enviornment into factor,So it will be more like the value of the crypto currency increases if there is an increase in the quality of the enviornment,For starters i am thinking of the enviornment conditions of the place they have been produced.

The long term idea for it is to aid in evatever we can do to protect the enviornment for as long as possible.
This Idea is still in its nascent stage,What do you people think? What can be done?

>we relentlessly rebuild, recycle, and remix old work to create new content. It's a part of being human.

I addressed that before: this simply isn't true for Nintendo games circa 1985-6. At that time, these characters and games were all-new, except perhaps for Mario, and he came from Donkey Kong which only came out a few years earlier. So why were they able to come up with so many original characters all in such a short span of time, which have lasted this long, but they haven't created anything original in the last 10-20 years that even remotely compare? Personally I think it points to some change in our society.
Without going into the whole "to use or not to use PulseAudio" debate, the problem seems to be the fact, that backend which Firefox uses for audio doesn't have anyone who maintains pure ALSA case. So either they need drop pure ALSA support, to find a maintainer or to change the backend. The last two are clearly harder.
Agreed your point. That is kind of the reason why I'm reluctant to use the GPLV2. If you distribute my software I want you to also honor the license agreement and release your resulting source code. In other words everyone has a gun pointed at each other head's and it keeps everyone honest.

There are current ongoing issues with GPLV2 with router, ip camera's and some other big named businesses that have bundled open source software but have not honored the license agreement and released or make publicly available those modifications. In doing so they're in breach of the license agreement and considering they're a commercial entity the copyright holders should rightly so be compensated.

You can take the chance and be the `nice` guy and release your source code under a BSD or GPLv2 license though with anything open source don't be surprised if you find your work inside a Toyota with your email address.

As I have said before during previous net neutrality "crises", this is just a symptom of extreme centralization.

The same thing that caused the Indian public to reject internet.org curated by Facebook.

Once we get massive consolidation, whether of banks, telcos, cable companies, social networks, phone makers or whatever else is "too big to fail" then your choice is illusory in the first place. Title I vs Title II isn't the most meaningful choice.

Originally the Internet was designed with no single point of failure, but now email, the web, streaming video, etc. has been centralized.

What we need to do is greenlight technology to enable decentralized:

+ Social Networking instead of server farms whose engineers post on highscalability

+ Mesh Networking instead of cellphone carriers whose networks go down in an emergency

+ Power Generation instead of a power grid that can cut you off anytime

Bitcoin decentralized money. Git decentralized version control. Look at how the power and trust dynamics shifted. That's what we need.

The best way to do that is to fund open source hardware and software projects that will enable this technology to be widely available, and then regulators will have to expand their frameworks to allow it, as they did with bitcoin.

I don't know it well, but at the surface it seems to follow the formula Mario Run did, present the IP in a polished but pared down experience that won't compete with the main content. The pricing is more traditional, but the IP is also not as sensitive as mario imo, I don't think Nintendo would involve Mario in that type of FTP structure
Yep. Stewart Butterfield & co. failed to develop a web-based online game, it reused parts of the game framework to create Flickr. Then, years later, he tried to create a new game, Glitch, and during development they built Slack as an internal tool. Glitch failed, Slack was spun out. He keeps trying to make games, but the universe wants him to create Internet startups instead. Third time the charm, perhaps.
Out of curiosity, if Berkeley requests that the Archive Team remove their videos, I assume they would comply? There must be a reason they want their videos taken down, and could presumably use the threat of legal action to have them removed from any archives? Why choose to take down videos being hosted at no cost on YouTube if you're willing to allow them to be "pirated" (aka preserved) elsewhere?
"You don't want someone changing their vote because of how the polls are going.
You know, you want them to vote based on their own beliefs, not who is going to win."

That idea makes sense in true proportional representation system, but in a first-past-the-post system then strategic-voting becomes important (as voting-for-beliefs is an immediately suboptimal strategy), and therefore if voters know who is currently in the lead and alter their voting behaviour then surely that's a good thing for democracy?
