Nitpick: I think you are getting confused with your reference to 6x. There is federal “guidance” that banks shouldn’t lend to companies beyond that level. That is different from margin lending limits for security trades, which based on a skim of the PDF you linked, seems to be 2x, or in certain cases, up to 7.6x.
Your CI system can test those commits in isolation.
I frequently push supposed-to-be-stable commits like that alone to my working branch on Github, so Travis CI can tell me if I have a problem.
Though I'm quite picky about commits, that each merge point into mainline (master) is tested is what is most important to me. Github PRs with Travis CI for instance enforce that pretty OK. If I don't bother to do a PR, and the changes as a linear set upon master, I like to use git merge --no-ff master to force a merge commit.

I briefly had a look at MSYS2 several years ago but it was all oriented around Win32 compilation. For example, I wanted an ffmpeg build, but I needed it to understand Cygwin paths, while the MSYS2 instructions are for a Win32 executable rather than Cygwin executable.

Directory trees are indeed another thing that are not enormously fast in Cygwin, but how often do you do recursive listings of directory trees? I don't even do that often on Linux because it's not fast there either.

Specific example: `find` has several tricks up its sleeve that it thinks are fast (e.g. looking at link counts on directories to test for leaf directories), but emulating the APIs that it uses for these tricks are part of what makes it slow on Cygwin (Cygwin will need to count the directories to emulate the link count, which makes it O(n^2) rather than O(n)). You can use -noleaf to turn this off. But `find` does other stats that make it slow.

I use a script that wraps `cmd /c dir /b /s /a` (IIRC) and cygpath for the few scripts I have that do much recursive processing, but it's very rarely a big factor. My biggest directories are on my NAS which is Linux.

My single biggest performance problem - as in, almost debilitating on Cygwin - are poorly written Emacs plugins that do filesystem access in the status line update callback (e.g., Projectile). But they're easily monkeypatched when they crop up.
I hope everyone's in on the joke that "non-profit" just means that someone other than a class of people called "shareholders" siphons off all the profits. It doesn't mean "low cost".
Introducing metric forecasts for predictive monitoring in Datadog
Back in the late 90's I used to carry a memory stick with VNC and putty upon that I use to tunnel a VNC connection over SSH to my home network and oven over bonded ISDN (128k which I had at the time in the UK) it was more than usable or attaching to any of my systems.

Then Cygwin came of age, proved very very very useful for adding the tools windows corporate desktops missed out upon for work related activities.

But in all that time, PuTTy has been a very good terminal client for SSH needs. Whilst it is good that Microsoft is adding this, it has never been a hurdle for many and those who run into a corporate wall that tough, have always been able (from the ones I've worked with and collegues) been able to circumnavigate around it :-

There's a very real possibility that a small cash deposit could increase the rate of no-shows.

Right now, a lot of British people feel quite protective of the NHS. They see it as a scarce and precious resource that should be used sparingly. Many people feel a real sense of guilt if they inadvertently miss an appointment, because they feel that they're taking something away from someone who might need it more.

Converting this reciprocal relationship to a transactional relationship is very risky. Many people who would otherwise make an effort to keep their appointments could take the attitude that they're just paying for a service; the lost deposit takes away any guilt about missing the appointment. £10 is a fraction of the actual cost of a missed GP appointment, so the NHS could make a substantial net loss.

I think a far more productive approach would be to use behavioural nudges. It wouldn't be difficult or expensive to give an SMS or automated voice reminder of an appointment. People who persistently miss NHS appointments could be offered support in keeping to their appointments, while being gently reminded of the costs to the NHS and the effects on other patients. I suspect that a bit of psychological carrot-and-stick would be far more effective and far less risky.
Hi, thank you for your answer. I didn't mean the language though, I meant the underlying service provider for the phone numbers, etc. Something like Twilio?
Zero-rating your own services is something entirely different than zero-rating services of other companies though.

It is no different than a car manufacturer paying for their own highway lanes. If half of the highway lanes are BMW-only, would you still buy any other car? Free market resolve this by competition based on price, but if I wanted to start my own car manufacturing company, I wouldn't be able to compete because a smaller player in the car market wouldn't have enough funds to get the various levels of government to implement MyNewCarBrand Inc.

This would be easily achievable by having 2 processes: one, which accepts the socket connections and relays them to the subprocess which does the actual work. New subprocesses could be started any time for updates, without killing existing connections. All new connections would be handled by the new subprocess.

Actually, it’s virtualization hardware that is exclusive.

Microsoft pulled an old trick out of their sleeve and implemented a feature, Device Guard, that requires virtualization. And of course it blocks other uses of the virtualization hardware, except, surprise surprise, their own virtualization solution.

D-, does not play well with others.

If your company requires Device Guard you can only use software based virtualization or Hyper-V.
This is unsurprising, as those of you who have read "Dictators Handbook" will remember, college campuses are organizations governed by leaders with small constituencies and sort of mathematically lead to crony-ism and big payouts for supporters. The system is set up to incentivize this behavior,

Everyone is quick to say "well if you show the url its not a problem"

How? Jimmy B User obviously didnt know the correct url, thats how he got to the wrong site. A url like "htts://stripe-payments.com" in this scenario would look reasonably legit to most people.

For countries that don't have national business registration, browsers perhaps need to show more than just [US] etc.

But even then - how do I know what state Stripe is registered in?

> The managerial efforts of the club managers will increase demand for participation in the club, increasing the value of the token.

The value of the token is determined by the value of the books being shipped and the frequency and reliability of their shipment. The club managers do not affect the value of the books themselves, do not claim to affect the value of the books over time, and do not promise to provide a secondary market for those books whereby the price of the books in the future may be greater than the price of the books as delivered and thus the token is not a security representing the books. That the token itself may be privately transferred from one holder to another, without notifying or involving the token manager, doesn't make the token substantially different than, say, transferring your newspaper or magazine subscription to another person, and such subscriptions are clearly not securities.

If you did, instead, promise book token investors that there would be a secondary market for the tokens where they can easily and publicly find buyers for their tokens, and that those book club tokens would rise in value through the efforts of the book club token manager and not through the change of price, outside of the control of the book club token manager, of the underlying books, then yes, people buying the tokens deserve to understand on what principle the book club token manager's efforts will increase the value of the tokens, what risks there are associated with the manager's efforts and the promised secondary market, etc. and therefore the token is now a security.
Yea but if the football team brings in lots of $$$ I think it is fine.

You don’t have to imagine it - you can already see it.

I spent a month in Antarctica earlier this year, travelling from East Antarctica around the Ross shelf to the peninsula and beyond - and the ecosystem is seriously sick. Marine biologists on the expedition were almost panicking.

Antarctic waters have warmed sufficiently for vast numbers of jellies and salps to multiply - and these guys eat krill and plankton.

This is problematic as krill and plankton are fundamental to Antarctic food chains - penguins, seals, whales - all feed on both almost exclusively - and salps and jellies are inedible for these species, meaning that they are literally starving.

Adelies, Chinstraps and Gentoos were all seen not moulting yet vomiting bile - this usually only happens during moult while the penguins starve as they can’t enter the water - but now they’re starving no matter what. Kings and Emperors were seen in significant numbers well outside of their usual range, suggesting they’re travelling farther afield to find food.

This talks about a particular colony of Adelies having a disastrous season, and they posit krill fishing as a reason - but it likely has more to do with invasive species disrupting the food chain - expect to see papers on the subject some time next year.

Okay so I've watched quite a few of those particular videos now to make sense of them... And I've come to the conclusion that the reaction to the syringes is cultural misunderstanding. My hunch is that the purpose of the syringes is to get children comfortable with the vaccination process. There are number of other videos where the syringes are being demonstrated on animals to make the animals feel better after getting sick. In this case, it seems like US Americans are projecting their particular sensibilities onto videos made by some people in an entirely different part of the world. Yes, they're weird to me too, and definitely not high quality, but I've actually started to appreciate some of those videos as being well intentioned propaganda, as opposed to some of the other videos that are literally showing children rape scenes and violence. It's important that we don't just lump everything that makes us uncomfortable into the same category.
> And currently the dairy industry in Europe is litigating to ensure that only mammalian milk is allowed to be sold as milk

Not sure what you mean by "currently" and "the dairy industry" and "litigating", but a (the?) relevant case was decided by the ECJ back in June. Press release: https://curia.europa.eu/jcms/upload/docs/application/pdf/201... full judgement: http://curia.europa.eu/juris/document/document.jsf?text=&doc...

For whatever it's worth, the lawsuit was brought by a German society that aims to ensure fair competition by truth in advertising. (Were they bought by the dairy industry? Possible.)

The judgement is clearly based on the definition "The term “milk” shall mean exclusively the normal mammary secretion obtained from one or more milkings without either addition thereto or extraction therefrom." from EU law made by the European Parliament and the Council. (Were they bought by the dairy industry? Possible. But given this sentence that is part of EU law, the court didn't have much choice.)
binaural beats are something similar. They've helped me focus.
If those presidents aren't paid that level of salary how will students learn? Students need a great university leader in order to guide them on how to learn. Also how will researchers produce science without a powerful leader pointing the way? Its like my boss, if my boss wasn't paid to sit in a chair all day to tell me to program an entire operating system, how would i be able to do it? I'd be lost without a great leader. We need to pay these leaders 5 million dollars because of the great talent they have in telling other people what to do.
Want to understand this attack better? We'll walk you through it in the Matasano Crypto Challenges:

http://cryptopals.com/sets/6/challenges/46 (and 47, 48).

Bleichenbacher's RSA oracle --- some people call it BB'98 --- is the RSA equivalent of the best-known real-world attack on crypto, the CBC padding oracle. The math behind the exploit is a little trickier (it's 10th grade algebra, plus the very basic finite field stuff you'd get in a single decent blog post on how RSA works) but it's otherwise mechanically pretty similar.

The basic idea is: the client sends the server messages; it can send any message it wants, valid or not. The server processes those messages. In doing so, it causes the message to interact with the server's private key. Once that interaction happens, any observable behavior the server exhibits can be used to infer things about that key. In the case of a padding oracle: send random messages; see if you can detect the padding validation error from the server. Based on that one signal, establish new bounds for the key.

This paper is pure Hanno Böck. His M.O. is straightforward and awesome. Take a crypto vulnerability everyone assumes has been eradicated for years, especially on serious hosts. Now, here's the tricky part: scan the Internet for it. Oh, look: it's everywhere. Including CISCO.COM and FACEBOOK.COM and a gajillion F5 devices.

Nope. That's a bad argument - they're mostly the same, and in some ways zero rating is much worse.

At my trailer, I get "Water Service". I don't get:

"Drinking water service"
"Dishwashing water service"
"Washing machine service"
"Bath/shower service"
"Pool/jacuzzi service"
"Toilet water service"

And upcharging/downcharging per "type" of water isn't done, at least on residential. Now, there may be rates of peak times where water/volume is more expensive for everyone. But that's not watching what devices the water goes to.

And, Zero rating would be like saying "Pay X/month extra and Bath/Shower water is counted as zero". Uh, no. Water's water. Like like how data's data.

Now, about why Zero Rating is worse - you start up a fledgling business that does something novel with a Zero Rated service. Well guess what? All those entrenched players with Zero Rating get an "In", and your new service is pretty much screwed until you can figure out how to get on that list. Zero rating is yet another barrier preventing new players on the Internet.
> ... it might hit the sweet spot for studios that need a powerful desktop they can easily carry to the set.

That's an interesting idea. I loved my imac for portability while travelling to a "fixed location". I still have my iMac from 2011 with the box and foam it came in and with the carrying handle it makes it super easy to securely pack up and move.

I was about to comment that this really is too litte, too late, for too much money IMO but the idea of a large screen portable might actually have an audience.

What I've seen from my friends working in media is that they would never buy something like this. They know enough about the hardware they need that they wouldn't buy an all-in-one desktop when they can snag a laptop and if they need the render horsepower mac / radeon might not be their first choice.

I'm curious to see how this pans out... can't see it having much of a market appeal at the current hardware / price point unless I'm just under a rock and out of touch with what people are doing these days with $5k to burn on compute resources.
This. I also do a `git diff > save.patch` if there is something uncommmited that i don't want to commit at the moment. A patch file feels more comfortable to me than git stash, as i can easily view the patch files, and reapply them with `patch -p1 < save.patch`
