I use sourceforge for games, github for other projects, and bitbucket for work. It just happened that I had sourceforge first. For the features I use, they're all pretty much the same... The only "advanced" feature I use is Travis CI integration on github.

Edit: now that I think of it, ive used a githook in bitbucket too.
No one wants a game that requires a "platform", they just don't realize it or care enough to boycott over it.
When I do burgers, I'm a big fan of adding home made pickled red cabbage to them, it gives them a really good clean, sour bite, very similar to carrot and daikon in banh mi.

To make it, I just bring to boil a mix of water, vinegar, salt, sugar, and spices (usually cloves and caraway), then pour it into a mason jar with the shredded cabbage, and put it in the fridge for a couple of days.

I've tried using sauerkraut, but it's a bit too pickled and mushy for burgers, and usually drips everywhere.
> The whole point is that earned income should not have to be repatriated to be taxed.

Agree. They used the double Irish paying basically no income tax there. Then were trying to move to Jersey (the island). This isn't new though and other companies were doing it. Is there any realistic short term hope that we'll finally close all the loopholes and the Apples and Googles of this country will start paying their fair share of taxes? Probably not.

But I don't see why not at least be happy with them paying some taxes and investing the money domestically? Yet everyone here is upset. It is not ideal, I'd rather have universal healthcare, basic income even, I'd rather these companies not be able to do these schemes and pay their fair share of taxes, but it is what it is, why not be happy for some positive thing happening.

For chips, power scales with voltage squared. Is also true that P=IV (since both are true, these observations cannot be in contradiction). Apparently, for chips, the current must be proportional to voltage also. Glossing over some details, turning on (off) a transistor is the same as charging (discharging) a capacitor. The energy stored on a capacitor is 1/2 C V^2. If you turn on and off the transistor periodically (say with frequency f) you use 1/2 C V^2 energy f times per second (energy per unit time is power). Normally the capacitance is ignored when discussing how power changes because for a given design the capacitance is a fixed quantity.

Time is money and 12 hours is a long time indeed. And trains experience delays too.

But I like the train when I have the time. I took Amtrak when I moved to California. And I've taken it up to Portland and Seattle, but flew back, as it's much faster and cheaper.

It's fun to sleep on the train in your own cabin. Just very expensive. And that is subsidized by the government to a degree.

A lot of people seem to be ideologically opposed to proof of stake; they define "works" in a very narrow way that proof of stake can never satisfy.
the extra moving parts aren't...but I think the point was to remove the existing moving parts (installing and maintaining a server instance). they just got it wrong.

it would save everyone a lot of time and energy to not have to deal with server instances, so its likely a better model will come along. persistent storage in the presence of scaling and concurrency is a bit of thorn though.
The same way we do with cash. When you put your cryptos in a bank they will lend out some portion of it and in return you'll be paid out some interest rate. The incentive to storing your crypto in a bank will be that you receive that interest rate, potentially that its insured, and that its secured. Perhaps the interest rates will need to be higher to encourage someone to deposit their cryptocurrency in a bank, its hard to say.
Gamers love relay servers, NAT punching, automatic updates, matchmaking, friend lists, achievements, community forums, screenshot sharing, streaming and more.

I set up my 401k. That was work. I've also done the mega-backdoor Roth IRA last year, and will do it again this year. Am I a bad man?
"Serverless" is a silly name because there are of course still servers. Peer-to-peer architectures could perhaps charitably be called "serverless", but I digress.

To me it sounds like this whole "serverless revolution" is just the product of Amazon's PR team who found a nice term to befuddle and bedazzle know-nothing CEOs.
Its called job creation. Companies who benefit create jobs...
I don't follow. A tax cut is called a cut because the gov looses some tax income. This is simply a fact & does not at all depend on anything you/I think about who should have money. Our politics depends on that, but not the facts.
Walmart is not the only company which gave bonuses. AT&T did the same. Apple gave employees $2500. Overall that is a quite a bit of people who got something they probably would not have gotten otherwise. Yeah, it would be nice to have free healthcare, basic income other things. But to someone making minimum age $1000 is a nice holiday gift. Why not be happy for them?
What do you mean by technical? Live-programming?

I’ve watch car/Home howto videos. Usually I watch them beforehand to determine if I can do the job casually.

Then get the parts/tools, coordinate timing, and get the job done while having the video nearby.

The constant rewinding is a pain as an afternoon job is condensed into 30 minutes of video.
They have gone through a massive investigation so doing something like this is strange.

So, until proven otherwise it's safer to assume Hanlon's razor - Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence.
Serverless fits a niche where a container or entire VM is overkill, or if you require an environment to run arbitrary code from users without the complexities managing such an environment entails.

IMHO neither moving to the cloud or serverless entirely are inevitable unless you have unlimited resources and don’t mind contributing to Amazon’s margins, but both have their places when time is more valuable than infrastructure (although as you require additional capacity, it’s time to refactor your use of infrastructure moving down the abstraction layers).

I agree that SPAs are always harder. For me, there are two main reasons to consider an SPA.

1. It _can_ let you build a much nicer UI/UX. That said, it's probably easier to build an _okay_ UI/UX with a traditional webapp, and it's also easier to build a _terrible_ UI/UX with an SPA. But the upper limit for excellent UI/UX is higher with an SPA.

2. If you are planning to build a REST API for your system, then the best way to do this is to build a REST API from the start and dog food it with an SPA. Otherwise you end up doing a lot of the server side work twice, once for the HTML app and again for the REST API. It's better to bite the bullet and _just_ build the REST API server side.

I'm not convinced the HSR is a good idea. But I actually suspect, if it turns out 50 years from now to have been, it's because it created a corridor through relatively undeveloped country (yes, there are significant cities but small relative to the endpoints) that could develop along a fast transportation link. Convenient (ADDED: somewhat) fast transit between SF and LA is almost beside the point.

True.

The best thing Steam has ever done was allowing(but not requiring) importing of other games to it. We (as in myself and other users) will voluntarily move to Steam in many cases, just to avoid dealing with whatever download site the game had before, or to get the automatic updates. I've done that with KSP and Elite Dangerous (which has a non-shitty site).

And then Steam added VR - a very good implementation at that, which also supports Oculus Rift.

Updates just work flawlessly, download speeds are good in general, one can move games around, you can backup them if needed, etc.

Other competitors would not only have to match that, but do it better. And still most people wouldn't bother, because of their existing friends and libraries.

The article is spot on.

Ask HN: If you deposit cash into a bank, do they get two copies of the money?
This may sound silly but it's a serious question!

When I deposit cash into a bank they instantly turn it into a number in their database which can be transmitted electronically to other accounts with no need for them to touch the cash that I deposited.

Yet, they also have a copy of the cash that can be used in any way they like.

I get, that in a few cases I might withdraw that same cash, and it will deleted the digits I added to my account record and remove the cash from their system.

But, in the vast majority of cases I don't and they have the new numbers in their database and they also have new cash in their vaults.

In these cases, do they then have two copies of the same money?

All answers welcome!

A little disappointed - I expected the article to be discussing separate physical network architectures, IPv4 vs IPv6, how IP numbering would work, BGP, etc.

It essentially focuses on DNS, one of the less interesting aspects.
Hmmm, I don't think converting a 500k codebase in C to C++ has a meaningful cost/benefit ratio, especially for security critical code like this. It might be justified to do in something like Rust, but at that point I think it's better to move on from GPG entirely. The OpenPGP standard itself is showing its age (eg. no perfect forward secrecy) and is extremely complicated. I think GPG should be left as-is, and the community gradually move to something simpler, like OpenBSD's signify[0].

It's easy to evaluate if the energy of one structural conformation is lower than another. (You don't need to determine at each step if the submitted conformation approximates the real protein at equilibrium, only that it's a lower-energy conformation than has been seen before.) But I'm not sure that is the only problem.

You want the proof of work to remain difficult for a PoW scheme. We have pretty good assurances that mindless cryptographic hashing is difficult; ASICs accelerate it considerably, but don't lower the Big O complexity of the problem. On the other hand, people keep searching for algorithmically faster ways to simulate protein folding, not just ways to hardware-accelerate existing algorithms. If one group of folders were to discover superior algorithms for searching the potential energy surface, that would be beneficial to science but potentially disastrous for a currency based on protein folding problems. For that matter, the overall incentives might make science worse off if ProteinCoin encouraged superior algorithms to be kept secret, for PoW advantage, instead of publishing advances in the open scientific literature.

Look, at some point, my "wireless" internet involves wires, but I don't really have to worry about managing them, so it's wireless in the ways that matter to me.
Well, you’re also completely ignoring many tradeoffs. For instance, it is cheaper to use 10k concurrent lambda invocations than it is to spin up the equivalent ec2 instances. There’s also the dev time allocated to maintainint the server infrastructure itself.

Serverless may be a disingenuous term, but it does refer to a useful thing.

And I also think it's fair for you to use the shorthand, "The constitution says ..." as a stand-in for this. But there seem to be some people in the thread who are not too familiar with the American legal system, and I don't want those folks to be confused into thinking the document actually says anything directly about corporate person-hood and free speech. Not trying to put you on the defense or anything.

> Cold starts. This isn’t the time to dive in deep, but it’s a main reason why some companies decided against going Serverless.

Cold starts as an issue? I mean, all you have to do is create a CloudWatch event (or cron if you want an explicit server involved) to fire the Lambda function every few minutes and you're all good. Sure, if you get heavy traffic, I suppose you could have multiple containers running simultaneously? But that's also easy enough to handle w/ CW events.
That’s kind of like saying that because I have a house on a tiny plot of land and my rich neighbor owns half the land in town, that property taxes don’t affect me. It doesn’t really follow.

My guess is that the path outside of the legislature doing anything is through the courts. Since corporations are citizens there must be some kind of constitutional law since human citizens don’t get the same benefit.

As specific as this is to steam competitors this seems like good advice for trying to get into any crowded niche market. A friend of mine lately found the random hobby of promoting dog toys and such through instagram. He started with pretty much nothing but pictures of his dog and over a few months has begun working with different manufacturers and distributors to make and sell custom products and to distribute existing products and I've watched him do almost everything described in this article to succeed.

He's spent his own time and money to help big name companies get more customers, helped smaller companies expand their business without much incentive to himself at first other than a mention here or there or some free products, in turn he used those products to gain more business for those companies and eventually became well known enough to start getting small amounts of cash and more expensive products. Eventually these companies trusted him enough to make some of his custom designed things and get commission on their sales.

I'm kind of getting sick of hearing about instagram but it's been cool watching him grow this weird little business he's been doing.
I kinda like the Origin Access model though. Subscribe for $5 per month, get access to a library of games.
I am not sure to what the op was referring, but I’d make sure to plex your connections through a configured connection pool to ensure the highly liquid lambda compute doesn’t suffocate the database.

The Pros and Cons of Plus Size Dating
And the state wants to do that as little as possible for two reasons: first, a crime prevented is better than a crime punished, and second, the cops going after these shady movers, plus the prosecution and court case, the jails, etc. are all limited resources. Given that this is an avoidable problem by having licensing for movers, it's in the state's interest to save their resources for non-avoidable problems.

Licensing isn't unusual - for instance, the person who cuts your hair (assuming you're in the US) is almost certainly licensed by the state. If anything, it's a little unusual that the practice of software engineering has no licensing.

(The question of whether there's a fundamental human right to run a moving or haircutting or software-writing business is pretty separate; I'm just answering why it's rational for a society to ask its government to have licensing. If you believe there is such a right, then that overrules this analysis, sure.)
thanks for everything you do jose, looking forward to getting our hands on it.
Walmart is not the only company which did this. Other companies raised their minimum wages and also gave $1000 or $2500 bonuses (Apple did that too I think). Why not be happy for them they got something for the holidays.

Sure we are all software developers expecting 6 figure salaries, RSUs, options and $50k bonuses every year, $1000 is nothing, I get it. Though someone working at an AT&T store in Columbus, OH or Kansas would be quite happy to get $1000. it's disappointing and I'd wish they all had large salaries and thought $1000 is insulting just like we do.

In general we would rather have free healthcare, and other things we like to talk about here, but those probably are not going to happen in this country at his point in time. But why not be happy for these people at least or say that it is nice for Apple to pay some taxes and invest in US as opposed to stashing it away for another 20 years.

> I think 'visual programming' has a lot of promise for education, but...jeez, after looking into it for awhile I'm sort of losing hope that it isn't a gimmick or fad

This comment strikes me as slightly oxymoronic. If it does fulfil its promise for education, how can it just be a fad? Is education of no value?

Even in narrow instrumental terms, it has value in providing a pleasurable and accessible approach for kids to try out programming. But beyond that, I wonder if the platforms that provide both block and text representations of a program might help programmers at an early stage to gain a more abstract view of what programs are? A mental model in which (eg.) javascript syntax is just one representation of an algorithm, isomorphic with one using 'mere' visual blocks, is pretty easy to come by with these platforms. That might have real educational value (at least for some learners), completely regardless of whether or not visual programming extends to professional uses.

Much of the educational material using these platforms that I've seen does seem pretty poor though, persisting far too long in providing students complete screenshots of the final program. Learning activities then become little more than a rote pattern-matching exercise.
Yep. The great marvelous internet fad reinvention machine has just managed to find a new name for "web hosting".
