It doesn't say how this changes the load distribution algorithm. Since websocket connections are usually long-running it wouldn't be as useful to use the default RPS (requests per second) algorithm. Ideally, it would be something that takes into account the number of connection each backend instance has.

Wow how cool. I used your software on my Apple //c and pretty much wrote my entire middle school and most high school reports on it. In fact, when I switched to word perfect I longed for apple writer. Thanks for making it.
Why does one need it to be aesthetically tinged? Another approach is virtue epistemology, where we count as true that which trusted sources and processes say is true. That is, the drug dog who has been right in the past is one we listen to in the future. The scientific project that makes predictions that turn out to be accurate is the one we listen to.

They are cache-friendly in normal Linux kernel usage.

There are not distinct allocations for list links; the pointers are embedded (via a small struct) in the struct that is being dealt with. In walking the list, you normally need to look at that stuff anyway, and with everything together you can share cache lines.

It isn't normal to run down the entire length of a list without looking at the data. Since you need to look at the data anyway, it is best that the data share cache lines with the linked list info.

Good advice. I would agree with the author about one thing in particular: you don't need LinkedIn (or Facebook, etc.) to be on the web. Get a domain name and some hosting and put up your own site with your resume, accomplishments, hobbies and interests. That's yours to own and control.
The key thing to look at here would be the variability: what is the standard deviation of life expectancy for the bottom 20%, vs. the top 20%? The factors you bring up would suggest that the SD should be significantly higher for the bottom 20%.

Quick correction: it's `Kangxi Dictionary`, instead of `Kang Yi Zi dictionary`.

And the comparison between `本` and `未`. It makes more sence with `本`(root, origin) and `末`(tip, end).

In modern Chinese, `蚤` and `早` are distinguish well. Also, `蚤` is nine-stroke and `早` is six-stroke.

The one question I have for the author is: how? If you split off Google's advertising business and all of the other products into separate companies, they'll all die (and be acquired by another giant). You can play the same game with Facebook: split off their advertising division and the rest will die. These companies depend on a monoculture diet in the strictest sense. Breaking them up would not work.
yeah, but for a European who has ESTA you have to explain why you need 180 days not 90 days. They are very suspicious of why you need longer, I know because I tried and got rejected and then had to tick that box while getting my O1 and EB1. You are depending on the whim of the guy you meet on the day. Best to stick to ESTA and avoid B1.

Unlikely.

IaaS providers differentiate themselves on performance and price, but also reliability, networking details, auxillary services, tooling, API intelligibility, and support.

Cloud agnosticism sounds like a worthy goal but 9/10 it's the wrong move as it reduces you to the lowest common denominator.
Yeah vote me down coward. Because I used a "evil" forbidden word. I even used in a positive context to show how amazed I am about this facial manipulation (much much more then about the voice thing) Flag me ban me I do not fucking care. I can make another account.
>In order to learn French and its vocabulary, English speaker will found a lot of similarity but from the more formal side of their vocabulary. That would lead English speaker to think French is more precise, I don't think the French have something to do with this.

Worse, the French apparently teach young students to write in a way that they consider profound, and the Anglosphere considers imprecise drivel.

This is the first thing that came to my mind while watching the video. Web development has become so overly complicated. I believe it is mostly due to working around limitations of the platform and the lack of a de facto standard of how web development should be done. In contrast for smartphone development, largely speaking, the way to do it is the way Android and Apple provide. The web has no single vendor to dictate that and what we have now is a result of that.

The article seems to argue that it is all a zero sum game when in reality, with services like linkedin, you can see prospective employers you had never even thought of before. Sure I could get a job at Facebook where tons of my friends work through networking, but maybe the esoteric startup the recruiter pitched to me on linkedin turns out to be more interesting.
Profusely agree with the author. As someone who switched into CS from the humanities, one of the biggest challenges for me was less about syntax and more about figuring out the errors in my logic. For some reason though the former seems to get more focus by professors.

"We excitedly explained our newly discovered technique to those around us, walking them through a couple steps. No one had trouble; not even people who’d struggled with every previous assignment. Within an hour, the group of folks within earshot of us had finished, and we went home."

This is great, I wish more people at my school did this, learning should be collaborative (as long as you don't copy paste code). There seems to be an obsession with secrecy and not sharing any ideas on a project as though there is only one way to solve a Java homework problem.
Thanks. Do you think that for your target market, being a walk-in was more beneficial than appointments would have been?

As I was typing I sort of had a feeling that lawyers and hair salons have different attitudes toward walk-ins. Partly because I was in a PT office with the boy's ankle a couple of weeks ago when a fellow walked in and was trying to pitch something about an app...it wasn't really clear what from fifteen feet away (but I don't think it was clearer to the office manager) and the person to talk to was a Physical Therapist and consequently booked solid. The fellow didn't seem to be aware of HIPAA either and my instinct is it was at least even money he was planning to outsource development...yellow legal pad might have been a factor.

The office manager tried to direct the fellow toward thinking about HIPAA but I don't think it registered. Anyway, the eaves dropping reminded me of your story.

I'm curious if there is a better link than that interview to that particular story.
You can be immature going the other direction, too. "We need to squeeze every last cycle of performance out of this server before we buy another one."

Well, sometimes you do (when it's someone else's hardware, perhaps). But often, happiness is a middle ground.

Most hardware goes through phases, often planned far in advance: The expensive first version to get something out the door, then a series of cost reductions (bring many chips into a single custom chip, ditch unused features, get new vendors for subsystems) which improve profitability.

That juicer looks like it was designed to withstand a direct hit by a bunker buster. Nobody gave a damn about profit margins or ever making it cheaper, I think they just wanted to IPO or get bought.
You can already adjust the load distribution algorithm when creating the LB, so I imagine this doesn't really change anything.
But now I have to read it in the context of someone who is to be murdered. It's not exactly a spoiler but it will alter the reading.
You were likely down-voted more because your first comment doesn't add anything substantive to the discussion rather than for the language you used. As the guidelines ask, please don't comment on being downvoted, as it makes for boring reading. And doing so in the manner you did is definitely uncalled for.

I find it much stranger that violence towards farm animals is ok but not pets.

For the same reason people are more disturbed by terrorists beheading one person whose name and picture accompany the story than they are of a statistic where hundreds of civilians are killed by a dictator's bombing attack.

People are motivated by empathy which only works with identifiable beings. We just can't empathize with statistics or abstractions, as horrifying as that sounds.
Because most people don't know how to use hypodermic syringes. And because either too little or too much might kill the patient.

Show HN: Simple iOS/macOS App to render cheap water effect
I'm 63 and love programming. But my job is mostly other things. I coach a scrum team of 5 devs, PO and a proxy PO. I manage 2 developers, I do some security work and a whole lot more. I manage to write code most weeks. Python, php and Java. For the record I love python but my skills are not where I want them. I'm better, much better at Java, but I really don't like coding in Java much anymore and well I do php when I have to.

I do love learning and will continue to learn as I get older.
My introduction to Quality Without a Name and motorcycling. I still ride and still appreciate engineering that somehow manages to be greater than just the sum of its parts: the Leica M3, the Blackbird SR71, the HP 12C.
This was the edition I first read. I distinctly remember after finishing it for the first time, and for some reason immediately starting the afterword, that having such a crushing affect after finishing the book, i really think it ruined my mood, and thus dampened the memory.
If you are referring to the word "shit," it is not forbidden here and is not likely the reason you were downvoted. I have a terrible potty mouth. I try to keep it PG-13ish online, but if I am tired or something, the way I actually talk tends to come out. My tendency to use the F word like other people use "very" does not appear to be in any way problematic per se.

I suggest you rethink your assessment of what is happening here.
His son's death wasn't a plot device, but a tragedy. It's not part of the book. It's not intended to have any meaning. Calling it a 'spoiler' is a strange mixup of categories, and somewhat insensitive.
Who says no one raised an objection or said something?

Even on mundane decisions unrelated to ethics, I've seen engineers object to things and get overruled. If you continue digging in your heels, the leadership will simply fire you or move you to another team and get someone else to do it.

If you did have strong ethical objections, it's likely you just left the company. Why stay at something where no one else shares your ethics? So the moral vacuum is somewhat self-reinforcing.

Besides all that, it's a lot easier to sit in a place of judgment when you weren't involved than, say, in a position where you needed the job to put food on the table for your family.

I would make the contention that it is up to the company and the board of the company to decide the compensation of any of it's employees, including the CEOs.

"Luck" has a lot to do with it, but it also has a lot to do with many other types of success that most people don't have problems with.
Another nonsense marketing piece. The image in the article is not even remotely close to a flying car. It is a ducted fan ground effect craft, no different than what NASA and USAF have worked on since the 1950's. Sure you could sort out the stability and flight automation problems with modern software. But the underlying problem to solve is one of energy storage, not aerospace engineering. This company will run into the exact same wall that every other effort to do this has. Until battery power density is increased 10x, electric flying cars will never be a thing.
The market is smaller yes, but the talent pool is also smaller.

I think it's a good exercise to do that kind of self-examination, to honestly evaluate situations which are morally ambiguous to various degrees, figure out where you stand and why, and plan what you would do when such a situation presents itself.

It's very likely that you might just go along with something in the moment, unless you've thought about it in advance and are able to recognize it.

When I was in grad school I knew a student who was almost completely amoral - not that has was evil, but it seemed like right and wrong never even entered into his decision process. For example, he decided that it might be profitable to write splog-creation software. He even brought in different outputs and did user testing in the lab, asking fellow students if they preferred output A or B, which had more believable testimonials, and if they were suffering from acne, which would they be more likely to buy from, etc.

It seemed scummy to me, but it took a long time for me to put my finger on exactly why. Wasn't it just another kind of advertising? It helped sell the acne medicine, which was a benefit to those that bought and sold it, right?

Your answers might be different, which is why it's good to think these things through for yourself. For me, what I came to was that the Google search engine is good, and it provides a lot of value by making it possible to find what you're actually looking for. The splogs where siphoning off some of that value, and giving it to that student.

They provided value to the student, but they made the internet worse for everyone else because it would be harder to find what actually worked well or was organically best. Basically a tragedy of the commons, and the result was a net negative - he destroyed a lot more value than he was able to capture, even though it was only a papercut from each person. It's much better to create more value than you capture, so the world is a better place for having you in it.

I think that kind of approach might be applicable here. Is Uber competing in a way that is beneficial to their customers, and therefore net positive? If they compete by trying to hobble or destroy Lyft that kind of sucks, but if they win by having a better product or a better approach to business, that seems more fair and results in a better outcome, a better world. Run faster, don't kick the other racer's ankles.

I think Lyft tries to avoid directly smearing Uber for a couple reasons: 1) Uber paves the way for them legally by using a lot of Uber VC money to fight regulation and lobby, which helps both companies. 2) Lyft is doing a lot of the same things that Uber is doing, they're just less gross about it, but they still skirt laws and do other things government actors may not like, so it would be a bit of kettle and pot.
have you considered just coming illegally and dealing with this later? SF is a sanctuary city.

"SF declared itself a sanctuary city in 1989, and city officials strengthened the stance in 2013 with its 'Due Process for All' ordinance. The law declared local authorities could not hold immigrants for immigration officials if they had no violent felonies on their records and did not currently face charges.""

Also in January 2017 a bill was proposed in the California State Legislature to make California a "sanctuary state."

"Normally screws are so cheap and small and simple you think of them as unimportant. But now, as your Quality awareness becomes stronger, you realize that this one, individual, particular screw is neither cheap nor small nor unimportant. Right now this screw is worth exactly the selling price of the whole motorcycle, because the motorcycle is actually valueless until you get the screw out. With this reevaluation of the screw comes a willingness to expand your knowledge of it."

I only have about 20 extra minutes, but I'll see if I can give a Haskell version for comparison.
The concept of Red is heavily based off of Carl Sassenrath's Rebol, only Red is both very high level and fully capable of low level programming as well. Rebol can show you the high level things possible with Red. It truly is amazing. Even though its kind of old now, I installed Rebol recently and was blown away by how much power I got with no installation. Red will be much the same and allow you to make miniscule native binaries.
