Huh? You don't have to use Github Enterprise (self-hosted) to get an SLA. Github Business, which is hosted on github.com has a 99.95% uptime SLA: https://github.com/pricing

An upgrade from Team to Business is "only" a 2.3x price bump per dev. I have no experience with this though, my team is still of the Team plan and thus suffered from the outage today.

Here's the full text of the Paris Agreement[0] and here[1] is Secretary of State John Kerry signing said agreement on behalf of the United States in New York on 2016-04-22.

Show me a text of this "NATO spending agreement", when and where it was signed by a Representative of the United States, and then we'll talk.

Hint: you can't, because no such treaty exists.

This might happen, if the government can issue the debt immediately. That's highly unlikely in an unstable situation like in Venezuela.

I couldn't find anything in the article, but I bet the debt was issued way before the unrest began. If there was any embezlement, it had to be way earlier.

> Factor in the time you save by never having to run the myriad errands required of petrol car owners

Actually the EV takes MORE time fore those myriad tasks. With the EV you take an extra minute every night to plug it in, and an extra minute to unplug it in the morning (most of this is time to coil the chord - maybe the time is only 30 seconds, it of course depends on how the location of the charger relates to the front door). With a gas car you spend 10 minutes once every two weeks to put in more gas. As a result the EV cots you 5 minutes a week.

Note that the time for an EV is part of the routine so it is easy to forget about it, but it is still real time.

Although this fail is a bit expensive, I'm optimistic that more opportunities will come.
Personally, I love speaking and presenting. I'm not bored giving a talk several times, they're different each time, even when you think it'll be the same. Having to compress something down to 30 minutes or extend something to 60 makes a different, plus the things that I've been thinking of that day. I also often try to tie in my talk with a prior talk or with the keynote.

I also don't find the rehearsals boring; in fact, around 24 hours before, I'm already starting to get excited about the upcoming talk. So I'm pretty amped up.

One challenge is multiple talks back-to-back. It's hard to keep that momentum up for several days in a row. I've definitely had occasion to give a great, high-energy talk and then give a talk a day or so later that just feels "off", especially in terms of my energy level.
switched to gitlab a few weeks ago, didn't notice the outage until I saw this thread.
I can't help but wonder if doubling down on fossil fuels today isn't blatantly stupid.

I mean, except for coal (that has some nasty enough local effects for most countries to quit by themselves) fossil fuels are already getting scarce. Production prices are going up and up, with just a few old fields holding them low enough for current prices. Increasing the reliance on them right now... Well, any smart player would be doing the exact opposite of it, wouldn't them?
Xplain: Basic 2D Rasterization
I doubt you are going to have much luck, probably best to forget the whole thing and move on. I mined 100BTC back in 2009/10 and then never backed up the wallet or bothered with the private keys because it wasn't even worth a dollar, today it's worth $221,711. I always comfort myself that I would have sold out when it hit $8/BTC or even less. No use crying over spilled milk.
Did you ever use any other mail client to connect to Gmail?

If so, there might be a way, i.e. from an uncompressed mbox file or similar.
GraphHopper Routing Engine 0.9 Released

It's a format designed to be a target for static languages that do manual memory management (like C/C++) instead of JavaScript that some engines know how to recognize and optimize. The binaries are smaller and much faster to parse and the sandbox model results in much less overhead.

For a concrete example, at least two JavaScript engines (those of Chrome and Firefox) need to emit almost no range checks on regular memory accesses with WebAssembly on 64-bit computers. (For those interested in going past ELI5, they do this by allocating a large chunk of virtual address space, such that any out of range pointers will land somewhere in that space (WebAssembly currently only has 32-bit pointers). Some of the space is filled with memory, and the rest causes a controlled signal/exception so the engine can safely terminate the instance.)
> - I also personally found that about 6 of us (team leads/seniors) ended up with much more pressure, and stress due to trying to force 8 hours of work into 6 hours of a day.

Yeah, but they are not. If I sell you a car for $5000, I get the $5000 and you get the car. When you then resell the car to someone else, I am not involved in the deal in any way.
I think emscripten does this by keeping dictionaries on the Javascript side which map numeric "ids" (used on the asm.js/wasm side) to JS objects. This is how mapping a GLuint 'texture id' to WebGL objects works for instance. The JS object won't be garbage collected as long as it 'pinned' in the lookup dictionary, but as soon as the asm.js/wasm side manually release the handle, the JS object will be GC'd. Future APIs (like the a WebGL successor) will hopefully provide 'garbage free' APIs so that they don't require keeping such helper structures around.

The fact that CoreOS have registered a trademark for Tectonic in the US (serial number 86560796 is the relevant trademark on the word mark) is significant and sadly does incline me to thinking renaming the software might be a good idea.

So what are some reasons to do any of this? Sounds unpleasant.

Does it really increase your salary or your network that much?
If all three of your assumptions are true, then you're correct. The trick is getting the second two assumptions to be true. Management and devs have to agree on a % time split, and management has to agree with intermingled priorities instead of "dev % goes at the end".

Negotiating those agreements is where having a common ground on business concerns helps. And yes, it sure does help when the managers can also see things from the dev's point of view too. In my experience, it's easier for devs to understand business concerns than the other way around, so that's the way I lean.
Unity Collaborate: Finally, a VCS Made for Unity
One of the reasons public sector banks might be indulging in distress sales, is probably corruption: Politically connected owners/managers of NPAs (most of them are -- they would never have gotten a loan from a bank in India otherwise) collude with politicians to sell the asset at a ridiculously low price. These owners then team up with international private-equity to then scoop up the assets at a fraction of the price and regain full control with all the losses being borne by the Indian govt. (and through it the Indian taxpayer) and other domestic creditors. Nice deal, if you can get it. And if I were a Private Equity investor abroad, I'd get excited by the deal too.

I had this same kind of personality / mental condition, and I am going to say, if he is really of the same personality type, 5-hour days are not going to help this author in the long term. What is helping his mood is not really the shorter day, but the hope of having made a short-term structural change that might fix things. The thing is, it won't. He already mentions at the end that burnouts are back. Well, pretty soon the 5-hour days will be feeling too long and he will be 'unable' to do them. Then what? 3-hour days?

The fundamental problem is that he doesn't actually want to be doing what he is doing, despite the rhetoric of "great team and awesome project". Come on, is that really how you feel about it deep in your heart, or is it empty SV rhetoric?

Two things will help this author:

(1) Strike out on your own, following your own motivation only. Yes you have to figure out how to make ends meet financially, but that is your lot in life. Fortunately it is easier to do this with computers than in most other fields.

(2) Meditate, learn to observe your mind and why it does what it does, so that you don't feel powerless or subservient to things like burnout. It's hard to explain the transformation that takes place, but being able to stand next to or outside these mental processes is very powerful.
This was so painful to read. I mean.. just.. ouch! I really hope you find a way to get it back. Some lessons in life are really valuable even when they sting. This one is just kind of cruel, ha.

Ask HN: How do you keep your investors informed?
We have seed stage investment from a small group of private investors and would like to keep them informed on our progress, challenges, etc.

How do you keep your investors informed? Do you meet in person on occasion, send out recurring status e-mails, do nothing? If you do keep them informed, how often do you communicate with your investors?

Lastly, what topics are typically covered in your communications?
The code base is almost certainly in C or C++. The parts that use the APIs will need to be changed, but it won't need anywhere close to a full rewrite.
It's just something I tossed together years ago and have been using ever since. Here it is if you are interested:

Full email:

Ethereum Ether Sale Backup Wallet

You are about to make an ether purchase. Please keep the attached wallet file safe. It will serve as a cryptographic receipt of your purchase, along with your password.

The password you created and entered on the sale site is the key to your ether so please do not forget it. And please note: there are no mechanisms in place that will enable the Ethereum team to help you recover a lost password. Once it is lost, your purchased ether will be permanently inaccessible.

Please ensure that a main copy and one or more backup copies of this wallet file are stored separately and securely. If you lose access to all copies of your wallet, you will not be able to access your purchased ether and it is not possible for the Ethereum team to reconstruct a lost wallet.

Once you have saved the wallet file from this email to your computer and securely stored multiple copies of it in different locations, you should expunge this email (and any copies of it) from your email system to further ensure that no unauthorized person gains access to your wallet and attempts to crack the password that locks it.

Once the official client is launched with the blockchain going operational (projected to be Winter 2014-2015) you will be able to import the private key stored in the wallet file and start using your ether on the network. And please note that Ether purchased in this sale is not usable on our proof of concept series clients. They use test-ether.
This is designed for emails missing in case of account breach, but it is worth a shot:

He didn't "lose" 400k. He lost whatever was in the presale and he learned a really valuable lesson. He'll never forget it.

When the worst thing to complain about is an altcoin investment gone bad, you are doing pretty well in life. It's not about empathy, it's about perspective, and the OP is gonna need the latter to get past it.

Another language I might suggest for exposing yourself to declarative / functional programming is Erlang or Elixir. I've tried to learn Haskell myself but the number of new concepts can be really daunting. Erlang is a little easier to get going with, and exposes you to many similar declarative concepts.

Kind of depends on how you define a “good speaker”, right? Your style and mine style are obviously very different (lots of it is also due to English being my third language of course) but people still have expressed that they consider me a good speaker.

It’s like with everything: talent or grind. Or both if you want to be an amazing speaker. :)

> If oilco does default, great, you have ample of collateral in tankers and other tangible assets you might be able to recover, so the recovery rate will be higher than the 30 cents that Goldman paid on the dollar. Also, whatever happens with the venezuelan government, the new government will also want to have a functional oilco.

I don't think that's the case simply because if it were that safe a bet the bonds wouldn't be trading at such a huge discount. It's the inherent risk that the government won't pay the bonds that enable them to trade at a discount. The bet is that the government won't default because if they did they would have a very hard time convincing people to buy bonds again in the future.

The same exact thing happened to me. I definitely would have cashed out when bitcoin peaked at $14, assuming I didn't lose them all in the Mt. Gox boondoggle or something.

I always say it's like the person who left their baseball cards at their mothers house, and then learned 30 years later that one was worth $100k or something. They talk about the money they could have had if their mother hadn't thrown our their cards.

The thing is that if you had valued them at all, then you wouldn't have left them in the basement at your mother's house.

Edit: Actually, as a more recent point, I also received a bunch of Beanie Babies when I was a kid. I had a set of 1st gen dinosaurs that ended up being incredibly valuable. Of course they were toys, and I had chewed on them, because I chewed on everything when I was very young. The set is still really valuable, with sold listings in the hundreds of dollars on eBay to this day.

It's kind of ridiculous to think "What if I hadn't chewed on them." You'll never enjoy anything if you don't use it because it might be valuable. That's a great way to become a neurotic hoarder.
Back when I worked for someone else, I switched to part time after I had been there several years. I would work Mon, Tues, Thurs and got paid 60% of my previous salary. I was more productive than ever and came to the office having thought through things and ready to type it out.

I also didn't notice the drop in salary because I had time to repair things and didn't "buy" progress in hobbies. I also had time to design things for work while sitting in a convertible by a lake rather than a drab office. It was one of the best experiences of my life. Sometimes I wish I could do the same thing working for myself but the situation is different.

The only tough part was not having time to socialize with coworkers. They would take breaks and talk about things but I felt my time was so precious that I wanted to get my work done.

Judgment on appeal by Ross Ulbricht [pdf]
Interesting. I'd think NATO would involve some sort of negotiated terms, it's hard to believe that funding would be excluded from that, but who knows. I'm no expert on it, but it seems quite odd that this point of contention is a complete figment of the imagination of American politicians for several decades and European politicians never point out that it's completely made up.

I now wonder if my perception of the military blanket of protection the US provides to Europe also a figment of people's imagination. Do they have military bases and personnel in the region, or am I imagining that also?
