And the reason distros do this is because modules like mod_php and mod_perl have historically not worked well with other MPMs. As far as I'm aware this should be resolved with newer versions of Apache and the modules. Also historically the MPM was built into the server and required a rebuild, but newer versions provide the MPM as a loadable module. But the distros have very long upgrade cycles and are hesitant to change their defaults since they don't want to break peoples existing setups.

If you care about performance then you probably don't want to use the distribution's copy. People tend to use NGINX's distributions directly from NGINX or build it on their own. Since NGINX didn't have dynamic loadable modules until recently that drove more people to build their own copies.

I do think it's fair to say that NGINX has a reputation for getting better performance out of the box without configuration. However, it doesn't take long before you have to start tweaking it as well in my experience.

So I don't think some peoples impressions of Apache are entirely unfair but I don't think they are entirely fair either. But this shouldn't surprise anyone given that NGINX is a business and has a marketing department. Apache is a foundation and really doesn't market like NGINX does.
> You mean the same coupons that are provided 1.) at the entrance of each store; 2.) posted on applicable product in every isle; 3.) stuffed in your snail mailbox; and 4.) spammed to your e-mail inbox.

Yes. Those same coupons. It takes less time to get them on the website when it works. The extra time it takes to for those other methods you listed is a "material inconvenience" for a blind person. All of the methods you listed require the assistance of another person. Getting them from the website does not require the assistance of another person.

> So what you're saying is the time it takes for someone who is visually impaired to independently navigate and fill out a compliant web form is, in some qualitative sense of average, less than the time it would take for a pharmacy specialist without an equivalent disability to perform the same task.

Yes. If there is a long line.

And a blind person doesn't have to wait at the pharmacy for 20 minutes after having the pharmacist do what could have completed at home at their own convenience. That again is a "material disadvantage" that people who are not blind do not have to suffer: 1) wait in line for the pharmacist. 2) wait again for the script to be filled.

There is also the question of privacy. A blind person has no way of telling who is listening in on the conversation while at the pharmacy counter. A non-blind person is able to use the website to enjoy this added privacy.

You should read the court ruling (only 13 pages) so you can learn all of the above and more details about why the court ruled the way it did.

> It doesn't matter that you've never used the physical resource; there's clear and established requirements traceability to existing statute.

It's good to see you're finally starting to understand that whether or not you have personally used the website (or bathroom) has nothing to do with the law. Agreed this lawsuit covers new territory. But your usage (or lack usage) of the website proves nothing about how integrated the website is with the physical location.

> The onus is on you to understand the logic.

If there's any onus, it's on Winn Dixie to fix their website. Per the court ruling. And perhaps the onus is on you to stop making assumptions about the life of a blind person, and to read the court ruling in full so you don't make ignorant sounding statements about what is and isn't convenient for a blind person compared to a non-blind person.

At least Microsoft seems to have a plan with .NET, Azure and to certain extent UWP.

Intel on the other hand is still searching apparently.

What are the prospects of just wrapping OpenGL on top of Metal? Genuinely curious, since I haven't taken a deep look at Metal yet and have kind of been out of the 3D graphics biz for some time now.

Rationally I'd say if you are truly paranoid then you'd assume that any security software you did author isn't secure enough since you acknowledge that humans, including yourself, are fallible. Thus you would prefer to use independently audited, battle tested, solutions (albeit ones that don't sync to the cloud).
Telling people that they have poor comprehension without specifying what they missed isn't civil behavior.
100%. I think CoffeeScript put the cart before the horse by promising some nearly-magical block detection and then they were stuck trying to implement it. I find that CS code is very temperamental and difficult to maintain over the long term.

"No brackets, it's so pretty!" is fine, but other languages don't make what feel like random guesses as to where your delimiters are, they use a different syntax to mark the blocks.

Personally I prefer to just mark the blocks myself rather than hope that the compiler infers it correctly, whether that's done with indentation as in Python, keywords like "begin" and "end", or with C-style bracketing. I even find comparatively mild things like Ruby's inferred parentheses grating.

There's no reason not to put an opening and closing mark. You're already thinking in delimited terms when you're writing the code, there is no real extra cost to throwing in the indicators, and it makes it so much easier to figure out what's going on when you go back to debug, when you try to read the code after months, or when your text editor is trying to help you out with folding and the like.
There a duplicate post that mentions the others, but it's in French: http://www.cnetfrance.fr/news/intel-abandonne-ses-nano-ordin...

I too would be really sad to see the entire line of Intel embedded boards go. It's nice to have an alternative to the ARM boards.
I think the reason you don't see bad questions posted more often is that you get comments like the top comment in this chain, where people believe you're just upset that you didn't get the job.

I also think it is more common for recent graduates to get garbage questions about things you never use. Some of my friends had awful experiences over the last couple of years.

I did forget Tim Choate, which is sad, I loved Zathras. At least a different Zathras lives on, somewhere, sometime.

I had no idea Michael O'Hare died :(

While I know his departure from the show was unplanned, I admire the skill with which JMS wove his departure into the fabric of the show. He took what would have been a liability to any other writer/showrunner and turned it into a huge asset. For example, the whole Lyta/Talia/Lyta situation was entirely externally dictated to him, but he managed to turn it into some fantastic storylines. I am still sad about not exploring any Ivanova romance plot lines. Marcus and Talia fighting for Ivanova's affection would have been amazing.
It's definitely something about which reasonable people can disagree. But I, for one, am glad to see this limitation to the power of declaring oneself offended.
But whose fault is it really? If you want a performant web server you, at least, know what you are benchmarking against and what your bottlenecks are.

If you know that but can't be bothered to learn what you are putting in production then it's not really the project or the distro faults IMHO.
In the US, Nazis can march through Washington, and police will spend time and money protecting them. They'll do this for any group with any ideology.

Needless to say, our countries have different ideas about which freedoms can and cannot be sacrified.

Using public data to guess at someone's race isn't, out of context, illegal. It is in some situations, but not this one.
Open Letter to Travis Kalanick
One reason why I think management in the US is so bad is because the entire corpus of managers went to the same few groupthink institutions and that is why they are so bad--no real risk takers, no real anything. It's like that in politics, too. We aren't promoting the right ideals, but merely conformity, risk-aversion, and foregone conclusions accepted as fact.
It's a specific thing: PulsePoint has a couple of related apps. One will notify you (if you tell them you're CPR / AED certified) when there's a medical emergency you can help with in a public place near you (assuming the local emergency services work with them), and it'll tell you if there's an AED nearby. The other app lets you update their database of AEDs with GPS coordinates, photos, landmarks, etc. The latter is how I pass a lot of time in airports :)
You can't blame a "careless programmer" when the real problem is organizations simply not committing any resources to security. It's like a hospital only employing 1 nurse and blaming her when patients inevitably die. The organization has a clear responsibility to employee a sufficient number of experts to protect their data. DRA is not unique here but does demonstrate a pattern of companies playing fast and loose with sensitive data with minimal repercussions. We'll keep seeing things like this until our laws are such that stewards of data like these have some sort of incentive to protect them.
There's no future in supporting OpenGL directly, the future of OpenGL is libraries which implement OpenGL on top of Vulkan / DirectX 12 / Metal. OpenGL is simply too far removed from the way modern graphics pipelines work to keep supporting it as a primary target.
It's 99% of the same. Green apple and red apple.

If you have an existing configuration written in any, it invariably ended up as a pile of hacks, domains and misredirections that is a pain to rewrite for the other. That makes it hard to change.

Apache has support for some modules, mostly for authentication, that nginx doesn't have.

Old applications, like wordpress, are only supported and documented on Apache.
I have a BUNCH of different blogs. I mostly talk about me and my life, but each has a different focus. This has been vastly more successful than having an Everything blog.

Ad money is generally going down the tubes. Many places that historically were successful have seen revenues plummet in the last couple of years or so in the face of what I call The Adblocker Wars.

I have had more success with tip jars than ads:

Anyway, you can do whatever you want. If you don't want to, no big. But if you put out specific objections, people will tend to engage those points. Coming from me, that isn't intended to strong arm you into implementing my one off idea tossed out on the internet. I'm just here to talk with people.

Take care.
You think they'd try to .. fix their platform, instead of ditching it. Or maybe it got so much bad press they'd have to relaunch it before people would take it seriously?
I suspect it's the same reasons nuclear launch facilities use floppy disks -- the solution is approved, and getting a new solution approved is viewed as too expensive/infeasible.

Not saying the argument is valid, just that it may be the reason.
I can tell just from the postings on HN that SV people need better ethics training.
+1 for Netlify. I've been using it for a few months for my personal site. It took me maybe 10 minutes from creating an account to going live with SSL from a GitHub repository. I brought it work with me, using it to host a React prototype (and hopefully, eventually, production).
So, you would have ruled for Alabama so the KKK and Jim Crow supporters could get the list and "talk" to the businesses and people supporting the NAACP?
If you're involved in something that needs that degree of extra performance then you'll probably know to either manually get a newer Apache or do whatever else you need. For the majority of people just using apache to casually host a few personal projects or simple webpages it's not going to matter.
It's happening, and that's basically the future of OpenGL (a library on top of Vulkan / DirectX 12 / Metal). It will be a while, though.
No, parasitic is accurate for most affiliate sites. The majority are content mills who are better at SEO than the retailers. People google "best foobarbaz" when doing christmas shopping and end up at an affiliate content mill. If the affiliate content mill didn't exist, google would have taken them straight to amazon. This is highly evident by the numbers shared in affiliate forums - 90% of annual revenue often comes from November and December. (If you have useful content and are appreciated by the community, this does not happen.)

Then there are blogs who happen to use affiliate links. These guys are content creators who don't want to show ads. If you go this route you have to be careful to avoid becoming (or looking like) a content mill. But generally these are people doing good, tasteful work and only writing about products they've actually bought and put through the wringer.

Finally, in distant third, are the companies affiliating because they want to fix the online shopping experience but don't have the capital to compete directly. Camelcamelcamel is the best example of this. My own site is also a fair example.

There are many shades of gray in the affiliate spectrum. It mostly comes down to how many "best practices" (aka dark patterns, like making all images go to affiliate links instead of larger versions) you choose to use. If someone says their operation is parasitic, they are probably right.
the formatting of this site is truly awful
One could not pick a more well-deserving country to practice their military (or military posturing) on, though
Agreed, I could understand sharing a company/joint email account password with a co-founder (or spouse). For example a sales@company or a aliceAndBob@whatever A personal account would be different though. Just my $0.02.
In the polarized and racially tense environment we find ourselves in, I wonder how the supreme court would have ruled had the band members not been Asian American. Personally, given the circumstances and the intentions of the band members, it feels ridiculous that the government would have refused to trademark the name, however I'm sure a lot of people would feel differently if it was a white supremacist band named something egregiously racist towards minorities.

I'm sure some alt-right types will take full advantage of this decision to do what they do best - troll

Fastest Intel I9 Extreme Edition Chip for Gamers Delayed Until October
While these systems shouldn't have these length limits, a 25-character pure alphanumeric random password already has nearly 149 bits of entropy, which might be stronger than other cryptographic primitives that are use in these systems, if you trust that there are no effective attacks against your RNG. Brute force against such a password may already not be the easiest way to attack the systems that use it.
There is a free tier with the number of API requests limited.
The implications are Warner Brothers archives lost nearly everything. B5 was ahead of its time in anticipating HD (compare the shot composition of B5 versus DS9, for example) and shot everything for HD and figured with the digital files for the CGI backed up they could easily re-animate for HD.

Somehow Warner Brothers seemed to lose all the original film masters and all of the digital files for the CGI in just the two or three years for HD to actually arrive to televisions. B5 was supposed to be one of the first shows to air/re-air in HD, and that will certainly never happen now.
All in on Compute Cards then? Or at least, the next attempt to get into the IoT sphere with an overpriced-in-the-market and poorly community supported ecosystem...
TMK the burden of defense is on the trademark holder, not the government. The Trademark simply allows the defense.

Given that the government protects many other forms of offensive speech in much the same way I find that rather hypocritical. Should authors be allowed to plagiarize if the content is "offensive"?
I don't get these people that would block the title of a publication because one possible definition might be construed as rascist.

Cluster bombs have such blatant propaganda spread against them by well-meaning but naive individuals. Don't be fooled - look at all their positive uses!
IMHO the three biggest challenges have been cost, accuracy, and quality.

We have a lot of options for this in NYC: PeaPod by Stop N' Shop, Instacart, Fresh Direct, and Whole Foods has its own delivery service.

I've tried them all. I REALLY want to stop going to the grocery store. But with all of them, I've found:

* The price is too high to justify it. Walking down the corner to the grocery store is not that big a deal.

* You don't always get everything you ask for. They run out of stock of things, or forget things. So you often end up missing that one crucial ingredient.

* Sometimes they don't give you the quality you're looking for. Maybe the bananas or avocados are either unripe or too ripe. A couple services ask you the preferred ripeness, but then they don't end up having that so they give you a different ripeness.

* Back on the pricing: I personally tend to buy only 2-3 days of food at a time, because I want it to be fresh. If I want baked cod on Friday night, I generally want to buy it Thursday or Friday. But since I'm paying a premium for my delivery, it makes more sense to batch it into bigger orders, which doesn't work for me.
This sounds like a self-fulfulling prophecy. Tell people that having data of them out there will change their behavior, and then they'll become aware of that idea, and will change their behavior. If they don't know about the concept, they might not.

You could even say that this page, and people trying to raise awareness for this issue, are harmful!

Imagine a few important people stepping up and saying, no, we will not disadvantage applicants because of their "unprofessional" facebook profiles. In fact, we value authentic, unintimidated people. The act of saying so will make it a little bit so!

We need to shift the blame from people expressing themselves, to those people punishing them for it, or even to people giving well-meaning advice like this.

(Just a crazy thought I just had. Didn't want to be to harsh with the creator, who raises an important discussion.)
We're not training any one to become programmers, we're training them to become certified buzzword-speaking framework duct-tapers. It's not the same thing. What we aren't doing is focusing on what isn't working, challenging the status quo, taking a bigger perspective. These things take more than training, and there are no awesome profits to be squeezed out of the effort.
Why we switched from Docker to Serverless
I have this theory that the only way regular people will start caring about privacy breaches such as this one is to use that data against them in a malicious way. Tell the average Joe that the data of all US voters has been leaked, "Hmmm. That's bad." and they move on with their lives as if nothing happened. Instead, if this data is used to impersonate the average Joe on social media or if it's used to trick their mobile carrier into porting out their number, then they'll take notice. (I am not suggesting people do this, it was just part of a thought experiment)

Unless the company involved is sued to bankruptcy and the people involved are prosecuted, sending a strong message to companies dealing with user data, nothing will change. But that's unlikely to happen as this company is backed by the RNC.

While we're on the topic of collecting personal data of people, there's a simple solution : just don't collect it unless it's absolutely necessary. Stop asking me to broadcast my address in my newsletter. Stop asking me to submit my billing address when I make payments online. Stop asking me for my mobile number when I visit a fast food restaurant. Most of the companies that collect this data are not competent enough to keep it secure. The reason companies ask for an address to broadcast in users' newsletters is some anti-spam act which does not prevent the spammers from doing their job. I imagine it's also a requirement for companies to collect a billing address for certain types of online payments. Change the law to remove these poorly thought out legislature.

More generally, we need regulations on how user data is used by companies. They should not be allowed to store user data indefinitely. If a user closes an account with a company, retain the data for a short period (eg- 1 year) and then delete the data automatically. Companies should not be allowed to build shadow profiles of users.
Depends on the state, but in general, no. You register as a member of the party. You register with the state. Voter registration information is used to determine who's eligible to vote, and you don't necessarily need to have a party affiliation to be able to vote (I don't, for example).

My guess is that it's public to avoid unfairly preferencing the major parties, so that they give at least lip service to the idea that "anyone can run for office". The U.S. is pretty sensitive about seeming like it has a fair and open political system, even if other aspects of the system mean that in practice a third party doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell.
Didn't know about this. Very cool, thanks.
Servo is a layout engine but the benchmarks are mostly testing javascript performance. Extra cpu cores are not going to speed up JS benchmarks, not because JS is single-threaded but because the benchmarks themselves have to be designed to test multiple threads. The same would be true if the benchmarks were written in C, if you want to test multithreading you have to write code to do it. Javascript benchmarks could test multithreading via Web Workers but for whatever reasons they don't seem to.
Don’t Use Bots to Engage with People on Social Media
It's true, it wasn't a mindblowingly exciting class or delivery. There were a handful of people who cared to ask questions beyond the prompts for group assignments or during lectures. A lot of people accepted as obvious fact that every household should have a humanoid robot, or e-government would make perfect decisions, or complete quantification of the individual couldn't possibly be abused. (These are just the ones that stand out in my memory.) Then you also have the garden variety folks playing minecraft, doing other coursework, etc.

I'll also grant that I'm not very visionary or even great working/leading large groups of people. How would you teach a class exciting enough that virtually all students would attend it, enthusiastically, even if it were elective? (It was required for us.)

At the end of the day, it's only going to be as exciting as the students make it by involving themselves and thinking. They are the ones creating tomorrow's startups, not the professors. As it stands, it seemed like quite the accurate litmus test for how many people care to think about issues in this way in our field.
I used to work in this field (political consulting, the data around it, nothing terrible interesting on the tech front at the time though). It was most likely broken down by Congressional district.
