I don't have NodeJS at hand to test with. Note that Java produces a help message (which I sent to /dev/null), but that (hopefully) shouldn't affect the timing that much.

Go produces compiled binaries and, as such, exhibits no such startup delay. Startup times for Go programs that I tested are in the same ballpark as Perl above, i.e. not reasonably measureable with a millisecond-precision tool like time(1).
Mercurial has something called command server[1], it's essentially a daemon listening on sockets to receive commands, designed just to avoid the cost of startup. I had to use it once in a CI system where we did invoke hg thousands of times for some reason i can't even remember.

That can also be used for frequent polling like shell status.

I think you're the first person I can ever tell that you're not actually as cynical as you may think :)

The cynical explanation–and this is just purely hypothetical–is (for a pathologically cynical mind) that a Google engineer who gets fired after circulating a call for unionising, or complaining about the lack of day-care options on campus, wouldn't even register within this community.
I use Arq to do both local and cloud (S3) backups. The local backup isn't limited to any particular NAS or local FTP destination; mine just goes to a cheap external USB drive I have plugged into my mac.
I don't think that's quite right. For example, hours can be non-integer-valued (as in "three and a half hours"). The distinction is that "less" is used only for mass nouns (e.g., "less water").

This is an incredibly fascinating concept, I'd love to see other opinions on the top of algorithmic trading!
To my knowledge, the notebooks include all, or almost entirely all, of the content in the print book. Jake mentions a few times in talks that the Notebooks are "compiled" into the O'Reilly book format. The nice thing about having the book as notebooks is you can literally "run the book as code" just by pointing Jupyter at that cloned repo.
Those images are spectacular. Thank you!
Thanks- that's what I do also (but with noscript). I'm just calling their attention to the issue that turning on trackers != turning on ads. And, they shouldn't be using trackers.
I get the feeling opposition to IQ enhancements (beyond fixing obvious problems) have been drilled into the public by scifi and frankly history. I don't see it turning out real well unless humility and empathy can be genetically engineered.
That organization doesn't say on it's website "we are a Google PR firm", or "we will never criticize Google", they imply they are an "independent think-tank not influenced by money".
Thank you for restoring my faith in humanity. It's not all lost, we still have a chance.

Edit: I was serious. I really liked what you said, especially: "Human rights aren't "provided" to you. You are born with them and they can never be taken away, only violated by thugs and tyrants."
And Vultr gives you BGP Anycast :)
sure, but statistically someone who knows how to correctly interpret this data probably already has the academic communication channels to solicit it directly, so someone randomly asking for it online probably has an axe to grind
It's nice to see that AMD is still around so this day could come. Things looked pretty grim in the Bulldozer era when they were being pounded by Intel on one side and slammed by NVidia on the other.
A camera that snaps a GIF and ejects a cartridge that displays it
I've subscribed to the Atlantic dead tree version in the past. I have no problem with that. But their using trackers makes be suspicious that paying won't make the problem go away- only that I won't see it anymore.

EDIT: I could clarify: I tried whitelisting the ads and that wasn't good enough. They wanted me to whitelist the trackers too.
There are risks with all activities. The kind of gaps in our knowledge are smaller than ever and there if the experts say there is no obvious risk we would remiss to disregard them.

There will always be the risk of the unknown, there is still the risk of the unknown with seemingly every day things like cars. The utility of cars and gene therapies is so large that we really can't afford for all the data to come in.
Yeah, meant oil and gas. It seems pretty difficult to get in direct contact with such client to me.
I thought all the AMD CPUs supported ECC, if the motherboard does?
What benchmarks show gaming not being CPU bound, everything I have seen says otherwise. 4 - 8 cores clocked as fast as possible make for the best performance.

What I like about AMD is that they pack their chips with features. Low end ones support VT-D and VT-X, AES, etc., whereas Intel likes to segment the market a ton with arbitrary features turned off to prevent higher ticket SKUs from being replaced with lower priced ones.
So what is the Neosmart solution?

If I can request an SSL cert for a private IP address, how does the CA verify it? Even if they do verify it, what prevents me from using it for malicious purposes on other networks (MITM https://192.168.0.1 with a valid cert or similar)?

For enterprises you can run your own CA, push out the trusted root with Group Policy (or equivalent), so it's not a issue there.

IoT vendors should definitely use HTTPS, but document how to generate a self-signed cert (or generate a request) from their own proprietary interface and how to install it. This would fix the problem.
very clever, kudos :)
> So local options are only SFTP and NAS? do you know what do they mean by NAS? i.e. they support a branded NAS like Synology, or maybe OpenNAS servers? any info on this would be great as that would save me some time downloading the trial and setting up stuff just to figure this out :)

The option is called "A folder on your drive or NAS", and asks you to specify a folder, so external hard disks should work fine.
Are you being oblivious on purpose? It strains credibility to think that Schmidt and Google didn't like a blog post by a think tank they funded generously to criticize them. I'm pretty confident they acted to get it taken down and wanted him gone. Suppose that wasn't the case, what conceivable reason would there before for kicking them out? The tank says: "it was a shared decision to kick them out". The other side: "they kicked us out because of this".
Indeed. It's yet another poor sob Google tries to silence by getting him onto the New York Times front page :)

I stand corrected, and pledge to actually read the article next time around,
"I was simply pointing out that when talking about potential danger from a given substance, the absolute amount, X ft^3, doesn't tell us much with knowing more about the substance's potential for deleterious effects at a given quantity of the substance.
"
Of course.
Someone just asked "is 70,000 tons a lot", and I was just doing the math to show how much it is in measures people might understand a little better.

I make no claims as to the danger represented by that amount, only "is it a large amount".

IE it may be a small amount, and totally and completely horrible.

"P.P.S Is the amount of toxic waste produced by solar vs nuclear per unit of energy produced in any way comparable? If so that would no doubt be of interest to the world at large.
"

I actually don't know, but i may go try to figure it out.
That's amazing that a government would so blatantly go against the public interest.

Your politicians might as well just admit they work for corporations instead of citizens. At least they're not implying they think people are stupid.
I have also been contemplating to make one. After all web is all about decentralization. However such crowd sourcing bandwidth must be with full transparency and need to have configurable soft limit on per user basis.
I know there are JS haters here on HN, but (as an old OS/compiler guy from the '70's and '80's), it's truly marvelous to see what you can do with dynamic languages by pouring hundreds man-years into optimized language implementations like V8.
> Should those people work for free so that a poor persons rights are not violated?

Just because something is a human right, doesn't mean society (or whoever else) has to provide that for free.
> Anti globalization in all of its manifestations (immigration, tariffs, taxes, trade)

He wasn't anti-globalization. If you listened to what he said, he was anti-"terrible" "free" trade deals which he claimed benefits other nations but not the US.

He was pro-globalization where the US wins - according to his definition.

> That was what he ran on. How can you say he was pro corporation?

Because he is? The guy is a "corporation".

You think a NY billionaire is "anti-corporation"?

The fact that people are even claiming that a NY billionaire is anti-corporations just proves my point. If Trump = "anti-corporation", then "anti-corporation" is meaningless.
I hear about this solution every time these ant-balls are discussed, but I've yet to see a video despite extensive searching. I've seen countless videos of them floating, but none with them sinking.

Wouldn't you need data going back for thousands of years? 40 years of data won't tell you anything about the cause of the temperatures in this data set. You'll need to eliminate the possibility that we are in a Little Heat Wave cycle; if you got forty years of temperature data during the beginning of the Little Ice Age, you won't have a representative sample, for instance.

Scaling Teachable: Our Journey to $500k+ in MRR
I negotiated this resolution on behalf of a UN government. The title is very misleading. The resolution states that human rights are applicable on the internet, not that access to the internet is a human right.
Protonmail. I can afford the $50/yr. for better email and it's something I should have done a long time ago. I was a GMail user since GMail was a thing, though. It breaks my heart to see Google do this stuff, but I just can't morally stay with them. I don't know what they are, I don't know how compromised they are by the intelligence agencies that run this country, I don't know a lot of things.
I know it doesn't fulfill the local requirement, but I've been looking into the Cloudberry backup product allows you to pay a one-time fee of $30 (per computer) for their software (a free version is also available), and then choose which cloud provider to store the backup on.

So you could use Amazon S3 or some other cloud provider to store backups and pay the tiny amount per gigabyte (depending on the storage option you choose).

I'd recommend a cloud-based solution as further backup option even if you stick with the local option. I currently back up my NAS using CrashPlan in case a disaster (fire, flood, earthquake, theft, etc) wipes out my computers and NAS. My NAS doesn't need to be exposed to the Internet: the software runs on one of my computers with the NAS connected as network file shares.

One of the solutions I'm considering using is Cloudberry Backup. There's a bit of initial cost, because I want the features of the pro version, but cloud storage can be quite cheap in the long run. It can run on a computer and backup network shares just like CrashPlan can. Unfortunately, a local option is not supported.

Interestingly, I had renewed my Crashplan subscription only a couple days prior to the discontinue announcement, so I have until October of 2018 to figure out an alternative.
That's exactly how we got to the situation we're in with climate change. The fact that corporate money can hold so much influence over what we research, what we say, and therefore what we know and believe, is and has already proved itself to be dangerous.
The only things that can be "human rights" are the things a society can consistently provide for just about everyone. The "human right" nomenclature just means we're going to spend some effort to push it from 98% to 100%.
Epyc is a stepping above the early Threadripper's and Ryzen. Other errata have been patched, and knowing the influence virtualization has on the server space, I'd hope they'd fix this one as well.
Point #1 I only noticed the other day - I wondered why a handful of channels I subscribe to hadn't appeared in months on my front page. Turns out they'd been posting heaps of new videos but YT was "recommending" me other stuff I wasn't interested in (well I was interested in watching the ones I chose, not the flood of useless recommendations that followed). It just meant that i ended up Spending less time on YT
Give me a break. Nobody is even censoring anybody's speech here. The real evil here is the lobbying organization itself. Corporations and billionaires buying our politicians and distorting the public debate is a much bigger threat than some lobbyist's freedom to argue against his boss's interests.

This is the great tragedy of American democracy through all its history.

One camp sees that there are big businesses that have achieved rentier positions in the economy and advocates passing laws or using force to punish them.

The other camp sees that it is usually federal rules + global competition which created behemoths in the first place and advocates against further restrictive laws.

The two camps fight about whether there should be more rules or less. Meanwhile the problems are left to fester until the next crisis, when the New Rules are able to win.

I don't think its such a high number. I've seen the religious argument, but have met very few (one to be specific) religious folks that would not move heaven and earth to fix some of the problems with children before birth. Love and protection of the children extends quite far. Its really a small fringe that doesn't participate in modern medicine.
Book Recommendations from Dick Costolo, Chorus CEO
Ah, you and I are in the same boat. I finally pulled the trigger and racked up all of my network equipment and put everything behind a nice NAS and power conditioner. My backups run hourly, and I have ~5 devices regularly backing up to this NAS, so my requirements are a bit higher than yours.

That aside, the Synology is just a linux box with a nice chassis. You don't necessarily need it to always be running. Shut it down when you're not using it and boot it up when you need it.
Is there a more seminal document discussing human-computer interaction guidelines for Augmented Reality interfaces? I'd like to read something with the breadth and depth of thinking that was behind the original Mac HIG.

CrashPlan lost some of my data because of a Windows Volume Shadow Services error around April 2013, which caused me to look for alternatives. I hope you test the entirety of your backup set regularly.

I'm not actually disagreeing with you. I just consider it somewhat possible that Schmidt simply complained, and the administrators got cold feet and made that decision. The people being fired are unlikely to know what Schmidt may or may not have discussed with the administration.

Anyway, that's not the point. The question is: why should someone not be allowed to change their funding decisions when the organisations they're funding go down a path they disagree with? Why should anybody be forced to continue to finance people after they've become the opposition.

Note also that Schmidt used to be the Chairman at this think tank, meaning that he is not just providing funding, but part of the academic community in its orbit, with a legitimate stake to disagree on the merits of the science.

A multi-bay NAS allows one to run RAID-1 or RAID-5/6 though — I think some form of RAID is important to avoid downtime.

Quick Guide to Simple and Secure Automatic Updates
The point is that _rights_ ought to be things that, in the absence of a society, you already _have_. (Life, liberty, right to property, etc) They are things that a just society is obligated to not take _away_ from you. Things that a just and wealthy society should be able to provide _for_ its citizens (health care, economic security, etc), are laudable and highly important goals. They are not rights though -- not because they aren't important enough, but simply because they are a categorically different sort of thing.

The whole reason we have the concept of rights is that a social structure in which people do not have rights is an illegitimate one. An impoverished island nation which cannot afford to provide healthcare or internet access to its citizens is not illegitimate because of it.

I haven't tried the local backup with Arq but that local folder or NAS option seems straight forward to me. When I tried that as an option, it just ask me for the destination. I guess you have to just pick one (i) on a connected local drive or (ii) a folder on your NAS.

Cyrillic Er looks exactly like Latin P, so writing apple with Cyrillic "Er"s would likely be spoofing. But if you highlight all instances of Cyrillic Er, you also have to highlight every P, since the URL of a Russian bank spelt with Cyrillic Er could be spoofed with Latin P.

In the end, you would just highlight nearly everything. A more useful approach would be to highlight when you switch script inside a domain name. That seems to be what firefox does for non-whitelisted domains (with some more rules to allow eg www.stマイクロ.jp (ST Microelectronics in japanese))
