They've just fixed what I regarded as the top reason for avoiding it completely: the broken type checking on functions.

I think you're right, and that people are downvoting you because they are confusing your references to pre-feminism gender roles as you supporting them.

As delivery services become faster and more perfected, specifically when we can start using drones to deliver almost anything (which isn't heavy) to anyone in an urban/suburban area in an hour or less, I think we will see the rise of food being ordered and delivered at will. However, the technology isn't there yet. So instead, we get all these food delivery services that either deliver restaurant food (ubereats, orderup), their own food but without choice / at high cost relative to quality like with Freshly, or these meal-kits.

At best they are awkward solutions to a problem that we can't fix with normal pricing and distribution models. What there is really a market for is a service that can deliver fresh or at least reasonably high quality food, which is customizable to individual preferences, for a reasonable cost (~$5 or so), on-demand, and in a timely manner. All of the existing companies in this space make tradeoffs in one way or another, which leave people dissatisfied and prevent adoption except by those who place a high premium on convenience.

Yappi is a really useful one, especially for multithreaded apps because it can started and stopped at any time regardless of control flow. For example, you can setup a rest API just to handle profiling and then query it at any point during app lifetime.
How do you reward generosity during early startup stage
Here is an ask:

How do you reward generosity during early, seed stage of the startup when you are still in heated battle?

For example - I know a sales rep (in an established startup) who sends out a gift pack (socks) to clients/referrals when a deal is closed.

As a seed stage startup where we are conserving cash, What are some of the ingenious, cost effective ideas of rewarding early customers, referrers and other helpful people.

I suspect the general need for pesticides and herbicides comes with large scale production, where manual efforts for weeding and pest control is inefficient.

No, just as a AD member server. Without winbindd, samba has to fall back to the libc pam/nss functionality which is not as full-featured as the one provided by winbindd. So there's some performance benefits which might or might not matter for you, but there's also some cases that don't work at all without winbindd; at least we were unable to allow non-domain clients (e.g. personal laptops) access to a smb share without winbindd.

If you dig into this topic you can find mails from samba core devs on samba-technical saying that you REALLY should run winbind for a samba AD member server.
Whilst I'm not the target market (I enjoy cooking from scratch way too much), I think there are a few things wrong with the analysis:

- Surely this isn't the first business to make a loss on acquisition in expectation of breakeven. That in of itself doesn't make this untenable. I also feel that the Groupon analogy is a bit underbaked: Groupon (and the ilk) were also I suspect totally unsustainable for the end businesses.

- There is substantial scope for curation. This in & of itself may not not be enough of course, but this doesn't seem like total commodity land either. Also it isn't just about getting the ingredients bundled together. It is harder than you'd think making sure standard measures of stuff in the supermarket doesn't go to waste from spoilage when trying to cook whilst keeping repetition low. Optimising for this is probably an interesting and not super simple problem.

I've only been exposed to the UK variants. The above may not hold true for other places though.
The difference between your drone future and delivered takeaways is the time between the cooking and the serving. As long as takeaways are kept hot (and haven't tuned to a soggy mess) surely better takeaways are easier to engineer?

How is that a sweetheart deal? Would you be outraged if the local supermarket wouldn't buy eggs from you at retail price? How could they possibly stay in business if they were forced to pay their suppliers the same amount of money they charged their customers?

Even wholesale is generous since actual suppliers they deal with voluntarily do things like guarantee certain availability and sell in bulk.
We use Hello Fresh and like it quite a bit. Even being a full time wife and mom and a good cook, she still likes to use this as it adds variation to our dinners, and we try some foods that we wouldn't ordinarily try.

As for affordability: $60 / 3 meals = $20 / meal. In general, getting similar meals elsewhere would run us $40+.

They normally give you a few different options for the week and project out multiple weeks in advance so you have plenty of time to decide what you want. If you don't want anything they have to offer that week, then you can always just skip the box altogether too.

I'm certainly not trying to diminish the benefits of having someone at home full time to care for the family (and all that entails), but saying that the meal-in-a-box service industry is in existence solely because of more two-income families is a rather narrow view.

Yours is a pretty common complaint though some of the services seem to focus more on reducing prep time than others. I imagine there's some tradeoff between freshness and the amount of pre-processing.

The cynic in me also wonders if the nature of the product doesn't create incentives for fussy recipes with a lot of ingredients, including uncommon ones. If your recipe is just a filet of trout sauteed in butter with some sliced almonds and a simple vegetable side, your customers may start wondering what they're paying you for exactly.
Not really. Ben Thompson [Stratechery] talks about this in his update regarding Blue Apron's IPO [1].

Now to quote him:

> ... the first customers a company gains are those for whom the product has the best possible fit; by definition they cost less to acquire. Growing beyond that initial base, though, costs more and more.

> This is why network effects are so important. What differentiates services that are actually sustainable businesses is that the larger they grow the more their utility increases, and it is this increased utility that drives new customer acquisition (as opposed to simply spending more marketing dollars).

> Ride-sharing services are a perfect example...

So patents and vertical integration aren't the only type of moat. Network effects shouldn't be overlooked. However, it's hard to see what network effects [besides just economies of scale] Blue Apron will be able to leverage.

[In their ads they try to talk up their relationships, eg with farmers. If Blue Apron were trying to be a farm-goods marketplace, ie the Uber of produce, then that would be an effective moat. In the current case, I'm not sure I buy it]

Edit:

- I am, however, a happy subscriber of Blue Apron.

[fixed the above bullet]

- Thompson also gives Netflix as an example. The bigger it gets, the larger its backlog of [hopefully timeless] shows -- increasing its value for late subscribers.
There's truth to this, but bear in mind computer screens also can't capture the vivid colors that exist in real life.

> so I'm actually quite curious to know how you'd detect a malicious closed source vendor like Microsoft who is working with a TLA to provide backdoor access.

"Closed-source" certainly does not mean you cannot see the changes, just that far less people know how to read assembly/machine code to understand what is going on.

People frequently reverse engineer patches and updates as addition of features means more vulnerabilities. Security companies generally get a whole lot of free marketing in the press if they find and disclose major vulnerabilities (along with building detection/prevention into their products, so there is a large incentive there. Of course it requires trusting security companies to not hold back findings like that, a valid concern, but it at least a step up from completely trusting the vendor to deliver non-backdoored updates.

> Are you suggesting that there's a cast iron guaranteed way of saying 'this stuff should be in the OS and nothing else'?

The security researcher mindset would be along the lines of "How does this new added/changed functionality work, and how could it be abused?" (You are correct that there is no guaranteed manner to find this, otherwise all software would be un-hackable which is not the case).
That one is probably there for illustrative purposes.

There are two approaches to profiling:

Deterministic profiling monitors every function call to track timing information. This is very precise but adds significant overhead. Statistical profiling samples the call stack periodically to see what functions are running. This is less precise but has less overhead. The overhead varies depending on how frequently you sample and what the sampling mechanism is.

StackImpact is a statistical profiler. At a quick glance it looks like they're using threading.Timer to periodically run their profiling functions.
In my use case, some content is only available for a short window. If I want to refer to it, the URL will not work. This happens to me a lot of Wikipedia where a referenced URL is no longer working (linkrot). We need to a better way to track previous versions or access 404 pages that were previously alive.
That's totally fair. I suppose I should have clarified my original statement as to imply broad caution rather than anything specific.

I have noticed this in many mathematicians: they will start explaining you something that you are completely unable to grasp, being completely ignorant of the specifics of the field. However they will insist in their pursuit and the polite thing to do is to try to understand some general idea as best as you can, and they don't really expect you to understand everything that they are telling you. This has happened to me various times, first time I was not even an undergrad yet.
Only because most organizations don't know how to be effective at security.

It's not hard. You don't actually have to change much. You just have to schedule regular pentests, ideally every couple weeks.

Pentests protect everyone because it's our job to worry about all of the security flaws that you can't possibly be aware of in your normal day-to-day development cycle. There's just too much for any organization to know about except security companies. This way you can focus on development and we can focus on pointing out how to fix what's broken.

> Finally, if there were a real clamor for meal kits, what's to keep Whole Foods or whoever from just assembling their own meal kits?

Pre-portioned, pre-prepped,low-cooking-effort packaged food products are already a big item in various forms for supermarkets. As are fully cooked meals. No doubt meal packs will be too, of they are popular.

OTOH, Grocery stores selling fully-cooked meals haven't killed restaurants (not even takeout-focussed restaurants).

When I was a student, the local Sainsbury's supermarket had a selection of recipe cards by the entrance. Here's the front of a newer version [1], the back is presumably something like this [2].

I wouldn't say they taught me to cook, I didn't learn any new techniques. But, I did get a lot of ideas from them, and it led us to eating a wider variety of food.

I'm now curious -- what do typical American university students eat? Do they cook, or are all meals provided? (Surely not at weekends?)

If you are referring to the level of analytics gathered, I fully agree! My point is, there would be a similarly loud reaction (at a wider scale) if a backdoor were introduced.
A lot of the problems in the API land can be attributed to what I call the sandbox skills, or rather lack thereof. Those are skills that we were supposed to learn when we were kids and played in sandboxes. Things like how to share stuff, how much to share, how not to be too selfish and not sharing enough, etc. You get the idea :)

Whole Foods themselves do home delivery. Amazon do not.
Sounds about right. But first they'd have to establish that Amazon has market dominance in the entire EU. Which I don't think they have. So there's that.

Then they would investigate if they abuse this dominance to stifle competition. Which I think your batteries example would qualify for. They'd probably look a bit further though because I dunno, if it's just batteries :-p So they'd gather more evidence and if they find enough, they too will get an antitrust case.

Just that, market dominance in itself is not illegal, so if Amazon, unlike Google (knowingly!!) did, uses that dominance responsibly, no problem.

What I got from the article, the investigation has been very reasonable and it's beyond doubt that Google went way over the line.

People may question whether this EU regulation is right (but I believe it is), but from the looks of it, at least it's fair: With great market dominance comes great responsibility.
Weird; the thing I liked best about whichever service I used was that the meal prep and cook times were pretty snappy - definitely faster than doing it myself from scratch.
Interesting. Thank you for the link.
There's so many creative things you can do when you imagine yourself as one of these attackers.

- Make a big target amount of money that any large company can pay, eg $10M, and tell people you'll release everyone's key if the amount is raised.

- Use an online board like this one to control the state of your network.

- Embarrass individual firms by posting pics of their offices from their own webcams.

Etc, etc. I reckon talking about these sorts of things will help find solutions rather than just inspire the bad guys.

I've been trying ways to profile my django code on my dev server.
Its using runserver and postgres on virtualbox (ubuntu in ubuntu) and takes 20s to display a page.
This is not due to slow db queries, those are quick.
strace says its making a huge number of calls to:
futex(0xe9d550, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 0, NULL) = 0
I tried debug_toolbar, Silk, yet-another-django-profiler, these dont give me insight into where all that time is going and where those mutex calls are coming from.

Would this help? Any other suggestions?

Edit: Exact same code is hugely faster on a webserver in production. And its not the Vbox specs, i gave it lots of RAM and 4 CPUs.

I really agree with you. Think that there's a tension between how a computer works and how a functions operate on data.

Immutability and Referential Transparency help reduce that friction, but in the end we still have not found a real solution. That's why languages like Haskell require a bunch of gymnastics just to allow IO to be seen as pure functions.
The moment CF stops hosting DDoS websites is the moment the censorship will burst wide open. Besides CP (which is too hot to try to defend), as soon as they start judging which businesses are allowed to host then they'll be forced to restrict their offerings all around.

What if a booter site advertises itself and says "you must confirm you have legal authority to run an attack test against this site"? What if it's legal in <some jurisdiction>?

CF should only take down sites after getting a direct court order to stop services (even then jurisdiction is an issue).
