This same feature is what keeps me staying with Sublime. It's brilliant.
I’m glad that I’m not the only one alarmed by Vee.

One thing that I think is true of most current children’s TV, but which struck me particularly during Chuggington is how consistently anti-individualistic it all is: teamwork is always the right answer, and doing something on your own is a recipe for trouble. I don’t remember this being quite so emphatic in the past (but it does align with, e.g., the current crop of “how to be a good software engineer” posts.)
Sublime does the "autosave unsaved docs" thing too, and does it flawlessly. (I have other gripes with Sublime, I just don't think this is a USP for TextWrangler.)
You can say it's not the whole purveyor, or even misleading, but it certainly isn't "wrong"
It sounds like rent control isn't making this a fair comparison? We'd want to compare going out and renting a new studio vs 1/N of an Nbr.
Get an old 1977-85 240d or 300d. It will be slow (like, seriously slow), but will run basically forever with maintenance that is mostly very DIY friendly, and it will be surprisingly frugal, partly because of the diesel engine and partly because it will kill any ambition to speed.

The idea is that the tokens you're buying have a purpose in the product that the ICO is for. You're mostly speculating that the product will become popular in the future, and so there will be a demand for these tokens.
Yes, they do. This is why I'm doing what I'm doing. Thanks for your input.

You're right. I assumed the queue depth api call would be useable as a counter. It appears though, that it's only an approximate count unless you use FIFO queues.

I guess the individual Lambdas could pop an "I'm done" message onto a FIFO queue. With a single Lambda consumer of that queue that updates an S3 bucket with a count. Done when count == 10,000. That's atomic, and no polling, but feels a bit smelly.

As others have pointed out, the best solution is to configure your email client(s) to your security preference but it's worth noting that some companies will give you the choice of plain text emails over HTML. I was pleasantly surprised to find Amazon (at least in the UK) offer this.

Warranty for 6 months, right to complain for 18 months after that.

The difference is the burden of proof. For the initial 6 months, the manufacturer/store has to prove the item was not somehow defective from the beginning, due to manufacturing errors or similar mishaps, even if it broke 5 months and 29 days after the sale.

In the following 18 months, the burden of proof shifts to the buyer, to prove that the fault did not happen to due mistreatment during (ab)use of the item.

That's how it is in Denmark, at least.
i think I understand it different, they must give you 2 years warranty, but maybe he is saying they must help you with repair/support (with your own money) 4-5 years

kinda similar like car parts, warranty is like 3-5 years (or 100K km) but parts must be available like 10 years or something

I find that a lot of people who make this argument don't really care about other peoples quality of life/time/money/etc

They just don't want that other person to try, as if somebody else gets VC funding or launches a successful product, then it's less likely that you will be able to successfully do so, especially if you are in a similar space.

Talking somebody out of trying by convincing them that there is no chance of success is a lot easier than actually competing with them.

EDIT: I forgot the fact that CH4 is being burned, not released as-is in the atmosphere.

Original comment:

Carbon footprint is just one way of measuring the impact on climate, but that's only because CO2 is the biggest pollutant. However, methane (CH4) is much much much better in trapping heat. 19 times more potent over a 5 year period, or 4 times more over a 100 year period (source: http://www.onegreenplanet.org/animalsandnature/methane-vs-ca...).

This is despite having the same number of carbon. So technically the "carbon footprint" is zero if, as Elon said, you're extracting carbon from CO2 in the atmosphere, but if you change it to CH4, you're worsening by a big factor the impact on climate. Maybe over thousands of years that factor goes down to 1x but still...

All this is assuming you extract CH4 from atmosphere, which is extremely unlikely for economical reasons, as others have pointed out.
Folks, every email client and service has an option to not auto-download images. Plenty have it on by default (MS Outlook, notably). All of them ought to (IMO), but it's better than nothing.

>Animals in animal factory farming can be feeded with things that neither humans nor plants can/would accept directly.

So can non-factory animal farms. I don't see how factory farming is better in this aspect than other types of animal farms.
There is a middle ground between no animal farming and factory farming.

>Animal factory farming by-products also are needed to support agriculture. Using human faeces at large scale to fertilize the spoil is not so good idea as using horse, goat, cow or pig faeces (Because human faeces carry more types of human transmisible parasites and more often than faeces in non-human animals).

Factory farming has the unfortunate sideeffect of producing too much fertiliser of the wrong kind. The farms have trouble getting rid of their excess waste.

http://www.onegreenplanet.org/environment/the-dangers-of-usi...
>It is not uncommon that a factory farm will produce more waste than can be absorbed into the soil surrounding the facility.
Because there is such an excess of excrement, it is often over-applied to fields and the nutrients that cannot be absorbed by the soil run off into local waterways.
Yeah, companies forcing people to buy new crap all the time because the old stuff is discontinued and customers are locked out from fixing it themselves is definitely good for the environment.

I only use C++ for native libraries accessed from Java/.NET, so it doesn't hurt me that much, given the average code size.

But things are much nicer nowadays than on the late 90's when I had to use the OS vendor C++ compiler for each system we were targeting, while ANSI was still designing what would become C++98.

Or the C compilers transitioning between some kind of K&R C support and ANSI C89.

Along similar lines, if you get isopropyl alcohol (I use 90% grade, but 70% may also work), after using your razor, dry it off, and spray your razor with the alcohol, the alcohol displaces any remaining water and sanitizes at the same time. It makes the razor last longer. Works on electric razors, too.

Did you compare performance before you changed? Differences that small can easily be offset by the replication strategy and lending. Comparing the tracking error of net performance vs. the index is more relevant.
I think what you're describing is the difference between a soap opera that could, in theory, continue forever, versus a miniseries with a defined start and end.

I'd love to see a snow crash miniseries that covers the snow crash series. I'm not so interested in soap opera style "General Hospital, but in the snowcrash setting"

A mini series would cover the actual snow crash story, which is pretty interesting. On the other hand, a soap opera would be Hiro atarting as a beta orbiter and improbably having a romantic relationship of many ups and downs with YT or perhaps the rat thing becomes a long term pet or companion of YT, Rife would be the bad guy who always escapes to fight again next week, it could be pretty awful indeed.

Another defining characteristic of miniseries vs soap opera is soap operas run out of creativity and crash over time, think of the arc of "breaking bad" or "Downton Abbey" where the first quarter or so used up all the creativity, then a long coast to miserable end. On the other end a miniseries would end like King's "The Stand" or the book version of snow crash, exciting till the very end.
Completely incorrect.

If you enjoy literature and have not read the Hyperion Cantos yet, I beg you to stick to just the first book.

What Simmons did to conclude the Cantos is on par with Star Wars episodes I-III. Sometimes it is better to preserve the magic by omission.

As for a movie, I do not think doing it justice is possible today. The only adaptations that came close to a suitable spirit were Dune (1984) and Beowulf (2005). It is SF only by name and requires a very strong and independent minded writer and director, both of whom should be relatively well read as well.

Sans ethereum what do you think the market cap of all ico’d tokens is? It’s absolutely tiny. Maybe 5-10 billion? This bubble is overstated to extremes imo
This isn't exactly like trading the common stock of Exon or IBM; ICO purchases are early investors pouring money into completely unknown companies. If you're about to put in $100k into a seed-round startup, you should require a convertible note, or major shares (since pre-money the company should be valued near zero). I can only think that people pouring tens of thousands into an ICO and only want tokens, which are legally meaningless, are either seriously misinformed or they are laundering cash.

But to your point about common stock, even when a publicly traded company undergoes a buy-out, they will require their purchaser to pay a premium on their current stock price ('current' typically meaning average over the last few months). As an example, if they are currently trading at $20 per share, they will require the purchaser to pay $30 per share to acquire. Once this is announced the common stock price will jump to the buyout price; at which point major investors of even common stock get a significant return. The reason for the jump is because the purchasing company will either payout cash or the stock will convert into the new parent company's stock. On the other hand, who knows what happens with tokens upon acquisition; there is no legal obligation whatsoever.
Wow. I've just got to say thank you for some of the most rational responses I've seen on hn in regards to the Bible.

> When they come into contact with team activities ( sports etc ), the world of work or even just small social groups they will be graded implicitly and explicitly by the value they contribute. Should we not prepare them for that?

The question is: Prepare them to be graded, or prepare them to grade? Both of those are a result of their education.

> Even here on HN those who are lauded as heroic engineers are those seen as Really Useful ( started a space company, have a lot of github contributions, maintain an OS kernel etc ), not the quiet cogs who churn-out CRUD apps in Fortune 100s.

Do you think those "Really Useful" people got where they are now by following what was "now-usefulness" at the time? I would argue they got there precisely because they challenged the status quo, and made a bet on what would be valued down the line, a risky bet at that (you just don't hear about those who made bets that didn't work out).

Those quiet cogs are actually precisely the ones who are "useful" in the authoritarian sense: They contribute to what the powers that be want to use them for.
JavaFX is the obvious choice if the client (for whatever reason) has to be a Java desktop client.

For distributed client-server applications like yours using a Java back-end that provides REST endpoints and a web UI consuming those endpoints in many cases is a better choice: A web front-end affords you more rapid, easier roll-outs and an environment that's amenable to distributed network environments out of the box.

Two options for such a web front-end would be Angular (if you front-end has to behave very interactively, basically like a desktop app) or Thymeleaf.

As for the specifics:

> - Pushing just the data that changed seems nicer than polling the servers every second
> - Several of the clients are requesting the same information from the same server; minimizing the load on that server would be nice.

You could use a messaging protocol like JMS or AMQP for that. Messaging can very quickly become quite complex though. So, consider this very carefully before going down that road.

> - Serialization of objects. Protocol Buffers vs native Java serialization?

I'd suggest using JSON and Jackson for processing that JSON on the server. Native Java serialisation certainly works but it can become a problem should you ever decide to use another technology in either layer.

Additionally, all by itself object serialisation is more of a low-level technique for storing object state. It can be used for distributing that object state but you'll have to work with byte streams and similar implementation details, which can at times also lead to compatibility issues.

> - Recovery when the network hiccups

Depending on your architecture using the circuit breaker pattern (for example with Netflix' Hystrix) might be an option here. Again, this might be more than what you need right now and hence a bit over the top. So, caveat emptor.
