Veterans Day is an authority United States open occasion, watched every year on November 11, that distinctions military veterans; that is, people who served in the United States Armed Forces. It agrees with different occasions, including Armistice Day and Remembrance Day, celebrated in different nations that check the commemoration of the finish of World War I; significant dangers of World War I were formally finished at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918, when the Armistice with Germany became effective. The United States beforehand watched Armistice Day. The U.S. occasion was renamed Veterans Day in 1954.

Veterans Day is not to be mistaken for Memorial Day, a U.S. open occasion in May; Veterans Day praises the administration of all U.S. military veterans, while Memorial Day respects the individuals who passed on while in military service.It is additionally not to be mistaken for Armed Forces Day, a minor U.S. recognition that additionally happens in May, which particularly respects those as of now serving in the U.S. military.

I've found that in the length of time people have spent speculating about what's slow and what's not slow, I've measure it, and have proof. Another advantage of profiling is that it improves your intuition about what will be slow. When I profile my existing code add, I tend to see the same things come up over and over again - vector resizing, overly broad mutexes, wrong data structure choice. Seeing these every time means that I can often pre empt these issues, but I always profile it to get hard. Numbers before and after.

I remember reading it some time ago, and I gave it another pass, but it seems the only existing solution is WebRTC which, as the author himself admits, is extremely complex for the needs of a simple game.

And netcode.io, the solution developed by the author, which has a major drawback: it needs the installation of a browser extension to work (only chrome supported at the moment).

All things considered, WebSockets still seem to be way to go for most use-cases.
> If I have leftover food of certain things, I tend to throw it away and rather buy fresh.

I find it difficult to appreciate this viewpoint. There's a certain elegance in using your resources efficiently and not wasting things. I find it significantly more satisfying to find a use for things rather than discarding them. This also applies to possessions, and more abstract things like writing code and not wasting lines of code or memory, or writing and not wasting words.

Ask HN: At what point should a site be run as a 'public carrier'?
I've seen quite a few people say this about Google, Facebook, YouTube and Amazon recently, and I definitely see where they're coming from. They're large corporations who have a huge influence on what people can do online and their recent censorship attempts may be hurting a lot of people.

But then I wonder... what size does a site or service have to be before it should be regulated like a utility?

Does it have to have a monopoly in its market? Because that's technically not true of any of the big social media sites, but might be true of much smaller ones in specific niches. If there's exactly one forum dedicated to the Virtual Boy on the internet, should that be regulated?

Is it marketshare in general? If so, what sort of level would be needed for a site to qualify for the status? 90%? 70%? 50%? Maybe 20 or 30%?

Does the importance of the service have any effect? Email is one of the most important parts of your internet life, so should any site offering email accounts be regulated in a way that stops them closing email accounts for activities the account did elsewhere on their network?

What's the practical point where a site or service goes from 'entirely private, can do whatever they want' to 'the government should step in and regulate them'?
Not a lawyer, but I can imagine it can be expected that you do some due diligence before installing it through npm - like checking the website whether their license allows you to use it, and on what terms.

This is a really weird complaint from somebody who is (presumably) a developer. [If parent commenter is an owner or executive, then it makes more sense]

Are there other industries where workers actively disdain proposals to secure better treatment at the hands of owners?
Nonsense. Plenty of what a good university course teaches you is relevant to employment: analysing information, writing reports, managing time on projects, collaborating with others. The specific modules and topics might or might not be relevant to your eventual job, but plenty of what your learn will be.
Cool, thanks for those details.
For me it's about practicality. I don't have space in my 600sqft 2 bed apartment, for the two dining tables, 4 double beds, 3 sets of tableware, 2 living room suites that my parents have in their 4 bed detached 1800sqft house, and I can't afford the space that they have because they bought it in the 80s.

If the "person who is harassed" is actually a "person on a power trip", they will find "unwanted or unwelcome statements" in any behavior that you do. Because they can set the definition for "unwanted or unwelcome statements" and will abuse that to satisfy whatever their agenda is.

You can definitely tell in cases where the target of this is a particular individual in a group setting; the double standard in treatment becomes stark after a while.
Not as complex, but: electrics, lighting, networking, phone, smoke alarms, sprinkler system, ventilation, security... it does all add up.
I think what people are saying is that they don't believe you when you say that hiring in IT is only utilitarian. You think you are being utilitarian, but instead you are leaning on your biases. In the same way the person in the article said that they hired women because there are some jobs they only feel comfortable giving to women. This is a utilitarian perspective -- women are better at X, I want X to be done well, I will give X to a woman. In the article this was described as "grunt work".

Someone might think, "I need to hire an ivy league graduate to do the algorithms work" and feel they are being utilitarian. After all, there must be some value in the incredible price tag of that education.

For me, that's still feeling a bit iffy, but much more reasonable. The more we discriminate, the more discrimination we embrace. At what point is discrimination good and at what point is it bad?

There are clearly protected classes where we are not legally allowed to discriminate. There are classes where we can discriminate, but shouldn't. And there are classes where we must discriminate, otherwise we would just be hiring random people off the street.

And even though I completely agree with everything you wrote, I think there is value in reflecting on what it means to be discriminatory and what focusing on utility might bring us. While I think it is very much beside the point of your post (which I thought was excellent), there is a bit of hubris to gloss over the issue of hiring for utility without examining how this is problematic.

Before you ask -- a different model may be not to hire for utility, but rather to consider hiring as a responsibility you take on. Your responsibility is to help that person be successful. Are you able to do it it? That, in my experience, is a far better view than hiring for utility.

> he later suggests affirmative action to hire more conservatives would be good for business because they are more 'diligent'.

"Stop alienating conservatives" is a far cry from affirmative action. Personally, I think quota-based affirmative action targeted at conservatives would have similar downsides as quota-based affirmative action targeted at women. (Essentially, when you are optimizing for something other than profit, it's going to cost money.) However, you might have success with a test selecting for high-conscientiousness workers.
First step would be to find a good way to evaluate peoples performance. Progress at that front seems to be ... very slow.
Looked up the last one I could remember the address of; looks like it would go for about 15 to 20 times the median UK full-time salary today. Between them, when they bought it, they probably made about three times the median UK full-time salary of the day (so about 50% more than average - well off but not rich). It's not anywhere special; it's just in a town.

>I worry that the media looks at cases like this as typical of the experience of women in tech

well, it is hard to blame the media when even most people in the tech consider the Ellen Pao's case to be a case of genuine sexism and not just a case of a jerk in a skirt who was bitching about a coworker using the company's fax to send scans of the brain cancer stricken mother, and who tried to hijack and milk a bit for herself the cause of anti-sexism. And after Reddit failure (which has all her typical fingerprints all over) she seems to be trying to get back at riding the cause.

Not every woman with unsatisfied ambition is a victim of sexism. Not every such woman gets her day in court. Ellen Pao did get hers.

I disagree, particularly in regards to r/fatpeoplehate (I didn't know r/revengeporn existed but I know revenge porn is illegal in my country at least). Fatpeoplehate was one of the strictest subs when it came to enforcing the rediquette rules of "not touching the poo": members were very quickly banned if they got caught using the content in the sub to harass anyone outside it.

Once that boundary is set it all becomes a matter of the viewer's morality. You likely think that it's wrong to dislike (or at least not to coddle and treat them like they're wonderful snowflakes) people who let themselves go and even glorify obesity; they did not. What's relevant is that as long as a group keeps to its own circle I feel we have no standing in judging them because my moral values are no better or worse than theirs.

ECC does not protect against Rowhammer attacks.
I'm not surprised. It's much easier to 'identify' hate by the tone than it is the actual content of the remark, and that seems to be what system is doing. It's making the typical (often human) mistake that somehow the 'toxicness' of a remark can be determined by how polite it's worded rather than what the person is actually saying.

But that's obviously not the case. You can be a horrible person without raising the tone of your voice or swearing and a perfectly nice one while swearing like a sailor in a loud and somewhat terse way. The validity of a critique isn't determined by how nicely it's written.
We had one of those at work. It was surprisingly handy to be able to put in your own disk take some pictures, pop out the disk, and hand the camera back. We could also take some pictures for a client and just hand them a floppy while at their office or in the field without having to worry about finding a computer and copying them over.
I'm really curious, what did they have to throw overboard to lighten the load from 45kB to 3kB? They list a handful of missing bits[1] -- I'm not a React developer so I don't know how significant they are, but they don't sound like the sort of things that'd multiply the size of the codebase by fifteen... So what's the deal? How so small?

The government doesn't literally pay for anything you want or need. It picks what things it will pay for and what things it won't. You can't always ask government to make a special exception in extenuating circumstances like you could with a parent or cousin.

I'm not saying family is always better. I'm saying there are certainly downsides to government-based charity.
I have no idea where this comes from but this doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

React comes with two things:

* a copyright license for the source code, which is a BSD-style open source license

* a patents grant license for "the React software distributed by Facebook" (i.e. official React releases but not third-party forks)

The former is unconditional except as defined in the terms of the BSD-style license itself. It does not magically terminate even if you walk up to Mark Zuckerberg and personally punch him in the face.

The latter is conditional and terminates if you sue Facebook, or if you get sued by Facebook and countersue over patents covering React. If Facebook sues you and you countersue them over a patent covering e.g. their social graph algorithms, you are still protected by the React patent grant. Only if you also happen to have patents covering React and decide to use them to countersue when Facebook sues you over other patents they hold, only then the patent grant is revoked.

Patents don't give a fuck about source code. Software patents are about abstract ideas. Source code is an expression of that idea and thus only protected by copyright. Software patents apply whether the patent holder expressed that idea or anybody else did.

If Preact does something the same way React does something and Facebook has a patent for that, you have no protection whatsoever. Even worse: Facebook likely already knows which of their patents apply to Preact or not, so if they wanted they could easily sue you for using Preact if they had such patents and felt particularly patent trollish that day.

You can't escape this. You don't know whether Facebook has patents for React. But you also don't know whether Facebook has patents for Angular, or Vue or Ember or even jQuery.

Angular, Vue, Ember and Preact are using the MIT license with no patent grant. Sure, if you're lucky, a court might say that the license implies a patent grant but there is no language in that license to hint that this is in any way intended (unlike, say, the Apache license).

Oh, and even if the MIT license would imply an unconditional patent grant, what makes you think the authors hold all the relevant patents? What if Facebook owns a patent for Vue? What if Google holds a patent for Ember? What if Apple holds a patent for React?

The reason you're upset isn't that React has an explicit patent grant with explicit limits. The reason you're upset is that you don't like software patents.

That's fair and I personally think software patents are bullshit, but raging against Facebook or worse the React maintainers over this and spreading FUD is not how you deal with it.
Depends. If a bit is flipped in a dataset you are likely fine, if in code your computation might crash. If you use enterprise-grade software like ZFS filesystem that keeps a lot in memory, it's much better to have ECC and accept a bit slower memory access for a bit better protection.
Here's where the distinction between "framework" and "library" is meaningful, yes? There are valid (and pragmatic) reasons to prefer one over the other.

It was done on some Lisp Machines with CDR-coding. newly allocated lists did not have any CDR pointers. Optimizing lists that way could also be done by the garbage collector, when it needed to copy lists or in optimization runs before saving an image.

Most other implementations did not implement it.
