What is transaction pooling anyway? A transaction exists for a specific action, it shouldn't be shared among users or multiple connections. It sounds like they've taken transactions and removed the isolation.

I don't know what the data access is like, but I get the impression that it's like some "enterprise" patterns I've seen where data access is too "encapsulated", ie, each DAL opens it's own connection, pulls it's chunk of data and each request involves many of these instead of having each request open the connection and pass it down to the data access layers.
You can express reading ASN.1 certificates in Simplicity so long as you have an additional explicit constraint on their depth.

In practice one always exists, just not explicitly, and instead implementations will randomly fail or disagree with each other where you exceed their hidden limits... limits which might arise out of their construction implicitly (and depend on the user's configuration) and not even be known to the program authors.

Hey! Nice! This project might be just the thing for our open source project's homepage, to allow non-technical folks to engage with us easiest!

It feels like it would be really beneficial for it to work with matterbridge (https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge), then people could pipe it into whichever tool they prefer.

Any plans to have it speak an established protocol, like xmpp?

Maybe a little. I've always wanted to try it out too. One of the really cool things about it is that it imparts a sort of sense of magnetic fields. If you have a magnet implanted in your finger, you can feel it vibrating in response to AC currents.

Unfortunately the magnets can break and spill out of their plastic encasement. One of the reasons I haven't tried it out yet.
When running the streisand script it will now prompt you if you want to customize the install, allowing you to selectively choose which VPN daemons you want to run.
I was a CEO of 3 successful startups. I am a developer (Python, Go, JavaScript not a very good one or devs here on HN with ML/AI or other experience). I don't have any formal education either. I just pursue whatever interests me. I am more focused on the technical side, sales and marketing, and customer service. I did all this at my previous startups. I never raised any funds and the previous companies mostly did 1-5M in yearly revenues and were bootstrapped with my own savings (which I got through selling apps when it was relatively quite easy). This time I've found a new 50MM USD annual revenue opportunity as per my very conservative estimate. The idea is sketchy but all my previous successful products had some evil bit in them. I can see and feel it but can't bring it to reality. I'll need a couple of blockchain experts, lots of salespeople, good copywriters. I write my own marketing angels but need someone to present my words to the audience as I am not a native speaker.

I agree with this, domain knowledge is underrated. However, sometimes it does take a risk-taking outsider to put several big picture pieces together initially. This isn’t to say one should just stay as an outsider once started. I’m thinking of those like Elon Musk, who have a larger vision and saw an industry as the right fit to make it happen, and then dove deep to learn the domain.

I’m sure there’s something in their diverse backgrounds that intersect in a way that solves a critical problem. For me, the thing that’s missing in their process is actually building a prototype and getting in front of a user to validate what they think they know.
I’m curious about your DIY solution and what that involves.
Having just done this for my company, this is awesome. I probably won't move to using this for the time being, but there are a lot of pitfalls to doing this, many of them subtle.

You're conflating the theology of the Bible with the history of the Bible. A (non-believing) scientist/historian might very well decline that Jesus has any supernatural connection, but agree that it is plausible that he was an actual person, born of non-supernatural causes, and had his story confused through time.

I have read theories that God and the Angels just happened to be an race/community of people that impressed those who met them by their size, prowess, or their artifacts, and told their story. This sounds entirely plausible to me as an explanation for the existence of some earthly being who either became or actually was named God.

Similarly, I have read of the supposed existence of ancient birthing/funeral rituals whereby the spirit of one individual is tranferred into the body of another. I can completely rationalise this as an explanation for how Methuselah and his peers were able to 'live' as long as they did.

Though I no longer remember the book I read these things from, and I do not claim that they are scientifically or historically accurate, I think it is a mistake for anyone to suggest that the Bible does not have some historical importance distinct from religion when the correct context is applied.

I am not sure whether this is the same non-fiction you refer to.
The problem is ESPN was able to capture an outsized amount of revenue due to cable TV providers bundling it with other channels, so you had large amounts of people paying for it but not consuming it.

Cord cutters are upending the model, requiring ESPN to swim on its own without subsidies; my personal opinion is that there aren’t enough sports fans to support it except as an over the top app similar to what HBO GO is trying to do.
Glad to see one more project, can already see some bugs :) would love to contribute. Shameless plug http://raspchat.com/ I have done similar hobby project which runs server on Raspberry Pi at my work place and it can handle quite some load. Last time it got posted on 4chan it was spammed by ~5K connections constantly pounding spam messages, but it handled traffic well (it did slow the whole thing down to it's knees).
This is very true - of the top 10 largest wind turbine designs in production, only one is land based (due to segmented blades): http://www.windpowermonthly.com/10-biggest-turbines

Note, the largest has blades of 80 meters, for rotor diameter of 164 meters. That's roughly a rotating 50 story building.
> And how many visas do you think this "literal world expert" definition would allow? 200?

I can only do Fermi estimates (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi_problem ) on this kind of question - which surely many people on HN can do better than me.

But I am aware of companies that actually do have this kind of problem (not in the extreme of my previous post, where I exaggerated my point somewhat to make it more marked):

They are looking for some kinds of people with some very specific and rare qualifications who are rare and hard to find and if they really do find such people, they of course pay such people really well. In other words: Their problem really is finding such people and not the money.
So in this case there is a shortage of people and not of money.
Thanks ^_^
I havent heard of matterbridge before, so I definitely will star that and take a peak, looks cool

We've thought about working with xmpp because it would allow us to cover a lot of things people use to connect with, and plan on building out an operator (our speak for the other end of a web visitor's conversation) for it!
Nifty start. The need for a hosted service like this is more for secure apps where third-party services may have some privacy implications.

I think the default UI needs a little more work. Intercom also lets you email users based on certain triggers, is there an email integration that you are building towards?

Edit: Just curious, what made you code the server in Go?
No, its pretty much only useful for hinting css and js files that will be loaded in the <head>.

Nice! please make an issue for the bugs!! We've done some initial load testing, and are super pleased with using go channels as the server layer medium.
I did some work on a minesweeper solver [1], I'm surprised my work is not mentioned. The best version of their algorithm wins on expert 32.9% of the time, whereas my AI achieves about 50% win rate. My AI uses the connected components decomposition that they did, but also some endgame tactics that significantly improved win rate (that they didn't consider).

As someone who thinks HTTP2 is garbage and refuses to support it in my enterprise, this is a good step towards a MUCH better solution.
Really nice essay. I think it might be an enjoyable read even for the majority for whom real analysis is somewhere between excruciatingly boring and excruciatingly painful.
That's very true. I mentioned Pride because it is still easily brand-recognizable to folks who are only vaguely familiar with the sport and because it came from the early days of MMA where it helped propel the sport to the mainstream.

Thanks for pointing this out. I had a look at http://www.evolvingai.org/files/1504.04909v1.pdf. It's an interesting read, although I'm not sold on the value of feature space exploration. I think it muddies the waters around the problem of balancing optimization with diversity, by lumping decisions and constraints together. What's to stop it from over-sampling regions of the decision space that have a steep gradient in the other features?

I read the headline and it colored my reading of the linked article. Bad headlines set up bad context. Someone also lowercased the "a" in approved in the headline since I saw it.

Someone else suggested https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-early-hints-0..., which has more context without a need for a second click.
Wow, I thought I knew basic HTTP but I don't know anything about preloading or prefetching or early hints. Time to read up.
Just bear in mind the security considerations: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-early-hints-0....

The idea that the entire building isn't built directly on the street/sidewalk. For example, many cities have rules that the first few floors can be built to the lot line, but then anything taller needs to be "set back" a number of feet. In theory, this should allow for more light to reach the street, but it often results in buildings that look like wedding cakes and waste a huge amount of space.
Thats a good point re: secure apps/third party services. we also wanted to run a hosted service for the lazy who may not want to bother learning how to run each of the pieces ;)

Thanks for the feedback too, in complete honesty, it was a combination of we were interested in the language, and overheard it was good with concurrency... that was enough for us to give it a shot.

Edit: Also apologies for not answering your question re: email integration, its going to be one of the first major integrations we do!

Yeah, that's fair. I think there's a "Windows XP" preset for Infinality-patched FreeType and it gets pretty close to what Windows does. Its rendering of 9pt Segoe UI is near identical to Windows', except for slightly softer font smoothing, but this doesn't seem to be annoying for Windows users (it's probably less than the difference between GDI and DirectWrite.)

I heard of this because a friend switched from Windows to GNOME 3 a little while ago and told me about the Infinality preset. He seemed to be very happy with it.

So serious question here. I kind of see myself as someone who doesn’t understand crypto currency. At the same time, I’m also quite experienced in investing, business, spotting trends, etc.

I’ve read a bit on crypto currencies over the past 2 years to try and wrap my head around all of this.

Reading articles like this, it seems like the whole thing is more philosophical in nature versus utilitarian.

A currency’s role is to function as some mechanism for the transfer of value from one person to another. But in order for this transfer to occur, both parties must recognize the underlying asset.

With cryptocurrency forks, it seems this doesn’t seem to offer enough stability most people would transactionally want.

Other than the obvious speculative desires by the parties involved, how will crypto currencies evolve into becoming mainstream?
Perspective from an emergency doctor. Many comments ask if non-medical persons would use ultrasound should it become affordable. I think not.

There aren’t enough common medical conditions that you would monitor with a personal ultrasound[1]. Also it’s a tough skill to learn without a solid background in anatomy. This would deter many.

Primary care doctors (eg family, internal, and emergency medicine) will benefit most from affordable ultrasound. We are learning that it’s a powerful diagnostic tool when used along side the physical exam. Some zealots have equated bedside ultrasound to be the biggest advancement to medicine since antibiotics. This notion I feel is exaggerated, but— it taps into the underlying excitement in the medical community for bedside ultrasound.

Here are some sample cases.

Patient came in with all the symptoms and findings of a stroke— altered mental status, inability to move their left arm. Before giving the treatment for a stroke, a potent blood thinner called tPA, the doctor decided to do an informal ultrasound of the patients heart. He found the patient had a massive dissection of their aorta. The patient wasn’t getting adequate blood flow to their arm or brain. Had the patient been given tPA they most likely would have died. A quick bedside ultrasound revealed a difficult diagnosis and saved the patients life.

Another case- a young female came in unresponsive and without a pulse. Her husband said she had complained of belly pain for the past several days but nothing else. While doing cpr we placed an ultrasound on her abdomen and saw a massive amount of blood in her belly. A pelvic binder was applied and we immediately started massive transfusion for presumed ruptured ectopic pregnancy. In this case the easy access to ultrasound gave us a diagnosis in under a minute.

Both of these cases occurred in the emergency department. Of all specialties I think emergency medicine has been quickest to adopt bedside ultrasound. Other fields however could benefit too. Ultrasound is underutilized in family medicine and internal medicine clinics. Making it affordable, say close in price to a stethoscope, should encourage its use in these specialties and lead to more discoveries of its use as a diagnostic aide.

1. patients with an abdominal aneurysm may wish to monitor its size with a personal ultrasound. This seems extreme.
I paid for Sublime Text because to me it's better than the editors you mention.

I rather put money towards responsible developers than contributing to the waste of more computing power and more electricity than Bitcoin wastes, while doing basically nothing over what Sublime Text can do.

I mean, if there were no other way to code a text editor I could accept the idea of Atom. But with faster alternatives, it is just an exercise in consumerism. Wasting computing power for the sake of wasting computing power.

It's the rolling coal of computers.
They should sell these at a huge discount in exchange for an agreement to share imaging data and eventual diagnosis back to the company, as training data for their AI. An AI that could identify medical issues on an ultrasound with greater accuracy than a doctor would be worth a fortune -- and genuinely make the world a better place.

In my circle I've found a social stigma surrounding search engine. I use DuckDuckGo, and I've had numerous friends and co-workers essentially retort: DuckDuckGo? Why don't you use Google?

It's amazing how Google as a search engine has developed such brand loyalty to the point that people don't think there can be any alternatives. Personally, I like DDG's results better, and I also simply like diversifying. But as I said, even which search engine you use is highly stigmatized.

People should really be open to trying new things once in a while. How can people be certain that some search engine X isn't better than Google's engine when they haven't even tried it? Same goes for browsers -- years ago Chrome won people over with its speed, and friends I speak to still have this perception that it's the fastest browser out there, when some tests would begin to suggest its losing that edge (no pun intended).

Apple’s spat with Qualcomm may reportedly escalate to the hardware level
B of a won't tell you when your own account was hacked without warrant or subpoena
A loved one recently had the surreal experience of logging into their online banking account to find that key account details had been manipulated without authorization. Specifically, a new phone number and email address had been added, and the type of the existing primary phone number had been changed. The account had been hacked, and the hacker appeared to be in the process of laying the groundwork necessary to assume exclusive control of the account.

Almost immediately, the question arose: when did this happen? This is not just a matter of curiosity. The unauthorized access would have provided the hacker with details on thousands of private financial transactions, each potentially connected to one or more other people. If anyone else suffered some level of exposure because of this breach, there is a moral obligation to advise them of such. To get an idea of the scope of exposure, it's important to know when the attack occurred. Bank of America obviously has this basic, non-identifying information. But in the event of an attack, will they share it with the affected customer? Having just been through this process, the answer is very disconcerting: "no, not without a warrant or subpoena".

The only rationale I can imagine that seems remotely understandable makes me equally uneasy: the less a customer knows about an attack on their own account, the more difficult it is to identify potential negligence on Bank of America's part that made the attack possible.

An interesting example of customer-hostile priorities by a large retail financial institution -- but as we search for a new bank, I'd love hear of others, along with any known remedies.
