I'm kind of looking forward to nftables, all the underlying technology driving it shows good learning from the weaknesses of iptables. Last time I looked, though, documentation was kind of nasty. Hopefully that's improved.

One random thing I stumbled across with docker recently, is docker swarm requires a version of itpables that does locking (not entirely sure why, but it actually verifies that locking can happen, so presumably they got burned by it at some stage). The version of iptables stock from RHEL 6 (and thus CentOS 6) doesn't support it. So if you want to run docker swarm, RHEL6 and derivatives are a no go (other than Oracle Linux which seems to be determined to be as docker friendly as possible)

What's always surprised me is how much of the cartoony image is real. There really were pirates with peg legs, hooks for hands and eye patches, pirates that talked with lower-class English accents and kept parrots as pets. There were swashbuckling captains feared all over the seas that held their crews of convicts and scalawags to surprisingly strict codes of honor. As the author says here, a lot of these things only happened in certain places and times, but the fact that these people did really exist is pretty fun and amazing.

This article presents the reasons behind cost disease as if his interpretation is accepted fact, but that's not the case, right? Elsewhere, I've seen a lot more disagreement among smart people.

For example, he says we have to pay band members a lot more now or they'd leave for better jobs and that this also explains the rise in education costs over the last few decades. Education costs have risen about 2.5x over the last 40 years, after adjusting for inflation. Has teacher pay risen 2.5x after adjusting for inflation?

In my experience, if you're only targeting the "evergreen" browsers, you're probably not going to get much penetration in the enterprise space. Corporate IT is maintaining PCs for anywhere from hundreds to many thousands of users, and might well be supporting hundreds of different business applications. They value stability and future-proofing over almost anything else, and they don't care in the slightest that this policy is inconvenient for web developers who want to use bleeding edge features or for browser developers who would like to drop support for legacy functionality. The good news is that these kinds of organisations tend to have lots of money to spend and often won't bat an eyelid at spending some of it to get support for a product or service they value on the platform they are already running.

In SME world, there is less of everything to coordinate, and that means there is more flexibility and to some extent the standard software used in the organisation tends to be updated more frequently. It's still likely that anywhere big enough to have dedicated IT staff also has controlled software deployment, but at least that's likely to be IE11, reasonably recent Safari on macOS, or possibly something like Firefox LTS or a centrally managed Chrome deployment.
Usually that's more practical. Husbands who leave get tagged as abandoning the family and have an uphill battle getting custody of the children.

Ask HN: Gawker?
Okay, I will admit I like Gawker. It was always an easy read and provided some good humor in a world that is quickly becoming a mess.

I understand what happen between Peter Thiel, Hulk Hogan and Nick Denton, but I don't really have an opinion other than I just wanted Gawker.

It might have leaned a little to the left, but I'm a big boy and read from left to right while at the same time thinking for myself. So it didn't bother me that much.

I still read Deadspin, Gizmodo, etc... But Gawker was great because they loaded all those articles in the mix. It kind was the front page for everything on the internets.

The comments at times where better than the articles.

This was article which really turned me on to Gawker... http://gawker.com/5994974/the-most-deranged-sorority-girl-email-you-will-ever-read

Regardless, can anybody recommend a alternative for Gawker?
Pretty sure the commentor is just switching words.

There is some word that kind of means to give unwanted advice, or to always be assuming you know and can teach people stuff. It's not pedagogical, not patriarchial, but something close. Im not even sure it starts with a "P". Not kibbitzer.
It absolutely is reasonable. You have a moral and legal responsibility to testify in court.
It is not a popular interpretation here

Or supported by the very study you cited.

In fact, that study takes a very different tack (again, their study suggests the issue is with power imbalances that form within marriage due to institutionalized gender biases), and the fact you don't seem to realize that supports my theory that you're allowing yourself to fall victim to confirmation bias.

For someone who espouses keeping an open mind, you're doing a remarkable job of demonstrating the danger of choosing facts that fit your preconceived notions.

Ask HN: Email alerts enabled or disabled (i.e. require opt-in) for new users?

Background: We run an API monitoring and analytics tool called Moesif that can send email/Slack notifications if we see something wrong with your API such as high error rates.

Currently, we do not send alerts to the customer unless they manually go to our "Alert Settings" panel and enable email alerts.
We could change it so that new users would automatically receive email alerts if something is wrong as soon as they integrate our SDK. Curious what developers on HN thinks about this for a good on boarding experience. Alerts was one of our most requested features so we just released them a few weeks ago, but we don't want to clutter people's email boxes if they don't want alerts.

" It's a big leap to go from nationalism to Nazism."

No it's not. Nazi comes from German: Nazionalsozialismus. National socialism. Propaganda peeps love pulling that one.
The classpath exception is when the library is linked. Because Android DEXing involves converting all third party libraries to a single classes.dex file, this is contrary to most definitions of "linked". So using Retropiler will probably out you in violation of the GPL unless you can win in court saying that it is only linked.

I think the author makes some very valid points about how Wikipedia needs to adapt to the new generation.

But at the same time I still do worry about what was mentioned in the original Op Ed about one of the big companies getting their hands on Wikipedia.

So to reduce the risk to Wikipedia doesn't it make sense to split off Wikipedia from all these new ventures? That way if anything goes south Wikipedia still remains as is?
Poorly worded. I taught 4 classes in March and 4 in April, over 500 unique engineers total (some were in more than 1 class).

There's definitely going to be pockets of resistance. My attendees are a very wide-spectrum sample from many different companies and industries and even countries, so I have some faith in the trend that's showing up. Could be that there's some bias in my students for sure. Regardless, the ratio I've been seeing has been steadily increasing month after month since late last year.

Please married folk please tell me this ain't the case...
I have a story from the other side. In the late 90s my university RA position involved installing and maintaining a network in a nearby school district. One day, a teacher at a junior high indicated that one of his brighter students was "messing around" with one of the workstations. I took a look, and sure enough he had rebooted it with a linux CD-ROM distro. No problem. However, there were clearly multiple logins for people who weren't students, and the server was accesible from outside the network. Problem. Further tracking led us to a password sniffer installed back at the university, which in the 90s was serious business (and a whole other story).

Once the teacher understood what was going on, he quickly ran it up the chain and we wound up in a vice principal's office with an SRO and the boy's parents (SRO = School Resource Officer). I was a pretty bright kid in high school and the one time I wound up in a vice principal's office, it was pretty unpleasant. However, when the kid walked in I think he outdid me -- he instantly went #ffffff and almost fell over. To his credit, once he started breathing again he was honest and open about what he did. I tried to emphasize that he didn't act out of any bad motive, so I'm pretty sure the worst punishment he received was that office experience.

In retrospect, I'm glad I was there because (even as a college student) I had enough credibility to explain the situation. I did not keep up with the student, but I hope he went on to much career success.
I considered that.

But that theory doesn't explain why, in addition to initiating divorce less frequently, married men also report higher levels of relationship satisfaction than women, while unmarried couples report the same levels of satisfaction.
They each have some length of wing, but get a lot of lift from the shape of the fuselage. These craft wouldn't exist without lifting body research.

This space plane and the shuttle shouldn't be derided for gliding into landing. Not using fuel while landing saves precious cargo capacity. If the main argument against them is that they can't land on the moon, I don't understand why a future craft couldn't both glide into an atmosphere and use thrusters in a vacuum in to land.
You can have different interpretation of the data.

COST of a normal break up vs cost of a divorce.

There is a huge difference of financial outcomes of a break up between a 7 month relationship and a 7 year marriage.

For the 7 months relationship the couple moves on, and no financial re-arrangements happens. For the marriage, there is a much higher chance that the woman: 1) takes custody of the children (if the couple has them) 2) is recipient of child support 3) is recipient of alimony payments

You can say that a "divorce" is much more costly to men and hence they are more likeley to stick it out a relationship or try to make it work, but there is less cost to women (financially at least), hence they are more likely to initiate it.

Given the current marriage laws are a remnant of the 50s and 60s lifestyle (of women staying home, and needing financial protection in case of divorce), you can argue that the current law framework in the US encourages the initiation of the divorce from women, and discourages that from men.

Since no divorce costs are involved in a normal 7 months long relationship, you see men initiating breakups just as much as women.

TLDR: Current divorce laws favors women by a long shot, hence they are more likely to initiate it.

You can have different interpretation of the data.

COST of a normal break up vs cost of a divorce.

As I said in my other post, I could considered that. But the study diminishes the likelihood of that interpretation.

Married men initiate divorce less and report higher relationship satisfaction than women, while unmarried men and women report the same levels of relationship satisfaction.

If men initiated divorce less simply because of the cost of divorce, that data does not make sense. You'd expect the same or lower satisfaction than women, but that's not borne out in the data.

It's far from absurd to claim I have knowledge about a group of people that adhere to a doctrine when most of their fundamental beliefs and much of their behaviors are prescribed by that doctrine.

Even despite such doctrine, people are individuals and we should treat them as such as much as is practically possible. But it can't be denied that individuals tend to mirror those around them.

It is not ignorant to point out trends regarding one particular culture of immigrants and it is not ignorant to note that, in aggregate, the effects of that immigration is negative.

Islam is not like other religions in that it isn't just a personal matter. It is a total solution for how to live and how to organize society in a way that opposes Western secular society. Insofar as Muslims ignore these aspects of their own relgion then we can live peacefully together. Thankfully, very many do.

You seem to be naively optimistic about two things:

- That Middle Eastern Muslims and North Africans in particular will share enough common ground with you that they will necessarily extend your own tolerance back to you rather than seeing you as weak and exploiting you.

- That enough people in your own society will put in the significant effort required to welcome lots of immigrants from these areas and integrate them in a way that overcomes their antithetical values and so avoids the kinds of problems we're now seeing.

Open the doors to mass immigration from these areas and see what happens to your optimism.

If you're unwilling to reduce or stop immigration rates from certain areas on principle, then at least consider that the rate needs to be reduced so that people can be assessed as individuals. That means economic migrants and refugees from the Middle East stay where they are or move to neighboring countries.

Sadly, this is the norm & the way the current system works...if you can profit now & collect a huge bonus now, your incentive is to do that no matter what happens to the future. Cigarette companies knew of the harms of their product for decades. Bankers knew many of their home loans and other products would fail (but it would be after they got paid massive bonuses...insane speculation didn't happen when investment banks were partnerships and bonuses could be clawed back). Dupont knew PFOAs were harmful for more than half a century and a decade into a massive lawsuit before they finally stopped producing them.

Am I mistaken about what is commonly done, or are you expressing your opinion that widespread practice is wrong?

...then don't use unwrap(). Instead check the error, do whatever handling you want and exit gracefully.

unwrap()'s behaviour is essentially the same thing as an uncaught exception in Python, only you can actually check for where they occur in the code with a simple grep rather than hoping your test suite caught every possible failure case.

It sounded like it was weighted by population (i.e. it compares the crime rate, not the total number of crimes), but it doesn't weight by the severity of the crime.

Colma has an index equal to or worse than most of Oakland, which only makes sense if there's some form of population-weighting, since Colma has only 1500 or so living inhabitants (and doesn't have a particularly bad reputation for crime, except for most "residents" being already dead when they get to Colma).
There's a similar "canned procedure" a guy posted in python, why he wasn't judged with the same severity, is there some kind of bias against Haskell around here?

I think a lot of it is rationalization. People figure they are going to die and so the brain comes up with reasons to rationalize why it should be so - extended life must suck and so on. I find it a little sad too but I think attitudes will change if it becomes real.
They're so awful at all of it that they got it done better than the competition consistently for a decade. Maybe you underestimate how awful the competition is. I've seen a lot of logistics and warehouse firms. They're consistently full of bullshit and inefficiencies. The latter come from politics or avoiding sensible investments.

Amazon could apply their same principles of cost-effective retail, logistics and software to IT to come up with a cloud. It's not a huge leap or anything. Just requires different talent hired to focus on the concept with same principles. It helps that the competition that did pay on demand for enterprises kept prices up and tech proprietary as much as possible. Not too unlike some of Amazon's retail competition in brick and mortar.
