I had to disable it for a few select sites but I guess there's currently no solution that won't ever break a site.
Puppet deploys a variety of host-level agents like L7 routing, dynamic config updaters, the scheduler agent (of course), metrics, logging, and tracing collection. Usually they work, but it’s necessary more often than you’d think to find out why one has fallen over and fix it, and to run diagnostic tools to investigate performance anomalies.
What's interesting with pencil support is if it'll affect sales of the iPad pro. The processors are now comparable for everyday tasks, so is the better speaker + screen worth 600+ dollars? That is in addition to spending $200+ on a pencil and keyboard that you might as well get if you're getting a iPad Pro. At that point it's 3x as expensive as the cheap iPad with the same pencil and keyboard.
Hey everyone,

I wrote a blog post on how our startup atila.ca chose and built our tech stack. Our team is all students and most of us started programming just 2 years ago so we'd love to get your thoughts on our stack and advice on how we can improve.

Clearly, since they failed so miserably here.

But -- here's the crux of the thing -- it's not a new goal, it's the same goal they (should) already have.
Actually it was almost the opposite. In this case I think you are remembering the events of one release where Apple had to delay an iOS release and pull more resources to get it thought. A couple minutes of searching has not found it for me.

But in general the motion has been in the opposite direction. In the beginning iOS was its own project, and had a dedicated staff that took from MacOS (both staff and code) and did their own things with them. Once iOS was successful they decided to merge the parts that made sense to merge, and did so back into the MacOS teams.

So there are a lot of teams that are shared between MacOS and iOS projects, and a long-term goal of merging as much of the codebase into one as makes sense (to Apple). An example of this is APFS, which was partially written to resolve the differences that had grown between the MacOS and iOS versions of HFS+.
If prices decrease for AI drivers too, I could totally see myself selling my car entirely too. Granted, I live in a smaller city in Washington, ie not Seattle/etc, so it'll be a while for me I'm sure.

I'd be curious to see if a lot of people did a similar thing (giving up their cars). Price is the kicker here though. When I own a car, I can pretty much drive as frequently or infrequently as I want. Where as with Taxi's/etc, the cost would quickly rack up. So these AIs are going to have to be cheap by comparison.

Man, the future of this tech is so exciting for me.
It's an abstraction. The question is: Is it a useful abstraction?

Clearly, we're all just made of atoms. But it's helpful to think about those atoms in an organized way.

It reminds me of the classic chain of abstractions in the sciences. One version:

* Philosophy --> Math
* Math --> Physics
* Physics --> Chemistry
* Chemistry --> Biology
* Biology --> Psychology
* Psychology --> Sociology

Where does this one fall? Maybe

* Neurology --> Cogsci

Maybe a specific aspect of psychology or cognitive science. For example, the questions

* "What is the role of environment in identity and coping?"
* "What would an artificial mind look like?"
* "How do minds shape their environment?"
Just to give examples that look plausible to me: Because of the legal burden Google decided to implement their own version of the Java standard library based on Apache Harmony.
With every new version of Java coming there might be new legal pitfalls to consider and surely almost always the sword of Damocles that Oracle might consider the fact that Google implemented new Java features as a reason to extort more money from Google since they implemented additional copyrighted APIs.
Ask HN: How do you load test?
Took a look at blazemeter but it's too expensive for how many tests you can run per billing cycle. Are there open source solutions that'll hook up to my aws account and spin-up instances in order to load test my api for example?
One has to question if an individual home owner or a corporation can service a home more inexpensively. If you're the least bit handy, or willing to learn a little, I think a home owner is more efficient. Whatever the fundamental cost of servicing a home, a company is going to add profit, and management administrative overhead to it. Also renters don't take care of their property as well as owners - so even if you individually are easy on your rental property, as a renter end up paying the distributed costs of mistreatment at even a low ratio.

Though there are certainly other advantages to renting, I question the fundamental assumption that a subscription is a more efficient use of resources.
WHAT? CSV support in Excel is just completely broken. Million line CSVs are the only reason I have LO on my machine.

If LO would just make .xlsx a native format, they could probably take some market share from Excel. But, as long as there are little issues with interoperability, 100% of the world will be on Excel. Alas.
Microsoft tried to compete against Chromebooks with their Windows S version that could only install UWP apps. I don't know how the market has responded, but from what I can see UWP is pretty much a flop.

Wow,

It sound not like a new organ was discovered but that it been discovered that the fascia[1] have these tubes and that the fascia really is an organ.

In studying message, a lot of approaches already treat the fascia as an active, responsive organ rather than as a passive collection of fibrous tissue. The science behind this has been considered murky at best. Now there, at least, is an explanation.

The topic is debated here:

Yep, the rebasing and reflog UIs are what has me trying this out. I've long been a CLI-only user (with the exception of sometimes using something like GitUp for getting a visual picture of the various branches in a repo). But I've always been hesitant about more advanced operations. Maybe Tower will make that less scary.

I have kids one one district (close to Cupertino) that uses both iPads and Chromebooks.

I hear the Chromebooks are easier to deploy/manage, but like the iPads, each kid gets one.

That said the kids prefer the iPads. I'm not sure if/how the Pencil will change the game.
I know you're under the impression you are informed. These metrics, however, are not the same. You don't know what Uber's equivalent metric is at. That doesn't mean you should compare different metrics as if they were the same.
Only two, 'free' and 'cat /proc/cpuinfo'. Everything else can work on both.
Here is a TL;DR from Matthew Green's twitter: https://twitter.com/matthew_d_green/status/97865824992178176...
Oracle (Sun) paid probably hundreds of engineers to invent and maintain Java. As James Gosling says https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYw3X4RZv6Y&feature=youtu.be... they gave away a lot but charged big companies to pay the expenses. Google should have paid that freaking licensing fee
In the 1990's, a survey was done and found that something like 60% of Americans thought that the NASA budget was 25% of the entire federal budget (it's like 0.4% today). This is done very specifically by propaganda just like you mention to make Americans think that science, space, research is stupid and expensive and we shouldn't do it. Republican politicians especially will use logical fallacies to try to justify reducing our understanding of the world and to justify falling economically behind other countries and powers.

It is a case of anti-intellectualism and a strong desire for guns, war, etc and to shun science and basic research. It is born from greed and selfishness and probably also fear of the unknown.

NASA is and has always been really really cheap for what it does. But there has been a multiple-decades-long battle to convince Americans otherwise.

Edit: Here's a citation on that survey I think: http://www.thespacereview.com/article/1000/1
So true. Java 8 could have been as big a deal as perl 6, if not for those meddling kids.
Look. It's generating bad press right now for your industry. I get that. I also think that in the long run your industry will be far safer than human drivers.

But now is not the time to post speculative bullshit like this. Would your car also have run into a school shooting unarmed?

You weren't in that situation, you don't know all the edge cases, the best you can say is that you had a similar situation under controlled circumstances and reacted appropriately.

This is publicly patting yourself on the back for a competitor killing someone. To say it's in bad taste is an understatement.
> "I asked both companies for more details, and got a polite no comment in record time". Found this line really funny, I guess I'm sailing a lonely ship on this.
If you apply this view to all APIs, the computer revolution would never have happened. The PC was a clone of IBMs API. They fought this battle and lost and now we can argue about it on little handheld clones all day long.
It breaks federation, i.e., Single SignOn.

But there's a thing for Firefox which does it for all sites. Called First Party Isolation.
I try to pay well, but it's tough because different countries have different cost of life/income expectations. If I pay $8/hr in the US, I am an asshole and it's illegal in many states. If I pay the same in many countries, am I a generous hero? Shall I differentiate by country? But why, it is the same work!

Should I pay $15/hr all over the world? Is it fair to pay those lucky ones an extra $5-7/hr for no particular reason, or to give that $5 to their respective country via taxes that all can share (healthcare, education, retirement)? Or should I increase my profits, and give it back to the US people through more taxes?

And when AI can do their job, then what? I keep them busy for no reason? Who makes the extra money, only me?

Well, here's a first cut:

1. Smiling and making eye contact are both HUGE levers (but you have to be careful not to overdo it). (And an interesting thing about smiling is that it has a reverse-feedback effect: if you smile, it actually makes you feel happier.)

2. What you wear matters. It shouldn't, but it does. Read "Dress for success."

3. Spend more time listening than talking. Ask more questions than you answer, even if you know all the answers. The object of the game is not to show off how much you know, it is to provide others with opportunities to show off how much they know.

4. Help with the grunt work even when you think it is beneath you.

5. Con't complain. Ever. About anything. (This is just a first-order approximation. There are situations under which it's OK to complain, but that's an advanced course :-) And this is one of the few situations where erring on one extreme will not get you into trouble. To the contrary, if you cement a reputation as someone who never complains even when you have good cause to, people will like you more. I'm personally still working on this one.)
Anybody running Chaos Monkey (from Netflix) does this, at lesat for their stateless services.
Anyone know if art apps like Procreate will work as well on this as they do on the iPad pro? I'm happy with my Air 2 and would love to draw on the couch or on the porch with it, but the iPad Pro is just complete overkill for me.
It very much is a problem, especially if people are taking Ubers rather than public transit.
How to manage changing requirements for a high availability service
> Google makes it easy to create and manage accounts, push apps out, restrict with all sorts of granularity, and none of it is tied to a device.

Apple has Managed Apple IDs to do the same. I believe Apple's Classroom manages the apps, etc. Google definitely had the early lead but Apple has not been idle.
The numbers you are comparing do not measure the same thing.
Pros have higher refresh rate, so probably if you take drawing seriously the "usual" iPad is easily not an option.
Most importantly, the vast majority of findings from this paper were first researched in late 2014 in MRL-0001. Since this research paper, improvements have been made, including increasing the minimum ringsize to 3, 5, and now 7. RingCT was added in January 2017, which hides the amount.

The paper has 3 recommendations:

1. Warn users who made early transactions that they may have had their ring signatures compromised. The stealth addresses would still work. This isn't a suggested improvement, and I believe that any user interested in maintaining their privacy should have considered researching Monero, including reading MRL-0001. I'm sure not everyone did this, but keep in mind that Monero was a much smaller network back then made of mostly enthusiasts. If you were transacting on AlphaBay, the least you could have done is seem what the limitations of your tool are. They were much higher at the time than they are now.

2. Improve the decoy selection algorithm. There is definitely room for improvement to make the most out of the decoys selected for the ring signature.

3. Consider avoiding public pool payout outputs, which are known to be used in the pool transactions. This is a fair point, though from the proportion of pool payout transactions to total transactions as found in the paper, this case is likely still adequately covered with ringsize 7. Monero can still consider avoiding these outputs as decoys though in some way.
Oracle bought Sun exclusively to sue Google for its use of Java in Android.

I think MySQL had something to do with it too. Even if just to capture the mindshare of all the developers using it at the time.

You can set Firefox to behave that way, though. Look for First Party Isolation.
sometimes the best way to test a fix to something, before you make it permanent in the deployment-as-code, is to test it on the box.

This just makes you sure actually go back and change the deploy code, else it breaks in ~2 days.
is a pencil able to enter text in a regular UITextfield ? i'm a developer and i still can't determine whether this pencil can be used in my app for regular text input without buying one.
It's like with session keys for secure communication. Generating different keys for each session doesn't solve all your problems, but there would be no benefit to reusing a nonce key and doing so amplifies certain risks.
Ear plugs aren’t magic. They are appropriate to make dangerous noise levels tolerable, but don’t do much to remove the distracting information encoded in already-moderate sounds. They also reflect the sounds of my own body back into me, which practically guarantees insomnia. A white noise source is much more effective. (I use a box fan). Still not great against bass-heavy music next door but makes me pretty much impervious to street noise.
A bit buried - V8 also supports tracing DOM-related memory leaks (exposed in devtools)! https://v8project.blogspot.com/2018/03/tracing-js-dom.html?m...
That's similar to how electroluminescent displays work. Except those use an insulating layer and electrode layer on both sides of the light producing layer instead of just one.
I think that depends on the grade level. In Secondary education, sure, but in Elementary the touch-devices are probably still king.
This is excellent and far more efficient than other tools I've tried.
We have this, it is called taxi cabs.
I don't think plants are "starved" for CO2, and increasing levels of CO2 most likely do not linearly increase productivity of plants [0].

There's also the other ramifications of increased CO2 concentration like: ocean acidification, warmer overall climate globally and increased incidences of severe weather, rising seas resulting from the warmer temperatures, and not all plants will enjoy the higher temperatures (or the droughts, hailstorms, strong winds, too much rain all at once), especially those in the tropics which already get quite warm.

> One of the things this article doesn't touch on is the very deep roots of hog farming in rural NC and the general prevailing attitude of "This is how we've always done it and I don't want no gubment telling me what I can and can't do with my land!"

vs.

One of the things this article doesn't touch on is the very deep roots of hog farming in rural NC and the general prevailing attitude that this is how they've always done it and that they don't want the government telling them what they can and can't do with their land.

By fabricating a direct quote purporting to be from a local hog farmer you are pointing out the dialect difference to put them into a group of people that are stereotyped as lower intelligence. You are meant to read that in your internal 'dumb southerner' accent and chuckle at how backwards they are in your opinion.

For you to say "Accent is unrelated to intelligence" is great and I commend you on that outlook. Unfortunately, a large portion of the crowd online doesn't share your enlightened view. For them, only ignorant people speak like that. By using that 'quote' to highlight the speech pattern, they are attempting to disparage the quotee and their peer group.
Fixing Facebook May Be Impossible
Why Jordan B Peterson Appeals to Me (And I Am on the Left)
Considering the pain that has been caused by Google deciding they needed to reinvent Java, and do so in a way that isn't really compatible with the new releases, I would say I'm ok with this.
All these people and companies trying to profit from this accident is really poor taste.
Most third party commercial Java vendors, selling JDKs for embedded development also have their own VMs and AOT compilers, with variations better suited for their hardware.

Aicas, PTG, IBM, MicroEJ, ....

Big difference with Google?

They play by the rules.
Methods are very individualized and vary also by medium. Check out the "Manben" videos:

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x65w5fu

It is eye-opening, even among fellow manga artists, to see how different sometimes their processes are.

Some may start with a definite sketch, others may go straight to ink with only the barest suggestion of a layout. Sometimes they struggle with expressions and may whiteout and re-ink (up to seven times in one of the videos.)

Some artists start inking with the eyes, some may start with an outline of the face. And so on.
Why would you want to do that in Rust instead of Go / Java / C# since the performance is the same. When I look at code example in the article the syntax is just awful seriously, who want to write web services with that kind of syntax:

time_helpers::log_timed(&log.new(o!("step" => "upsert_episodes")), |_log| { }

It's just non-sense:

impl<S: server::State> actix_web::middleware::Middleware<S> for Middleware {

fn start(&self, req: &mut HttpRequest<S>) -> actix_web::Result<Started> {

let log = req.state().log().clone();
req.extensions().insert(Extension(log));
Ok(Started::Done)
}

Rust is a good language but I don't see it any time soon in the web space with that syntax and the lack of mature libraries, plus the time it takes to get anything done. Where I see it is more for super optimized things like serialization and the like as libraries but not as a main program.
Bulletproof, Slow and Full of Wine: Kim Jong-Un’s Mystery Train
Glad that Apple is making an effort to re-engage with Google in the education market. In my limited experience, Apple is way ahead in apps that use the stylus effectively, but the Chrome App "Squid" shows that the tech is there for Chromebook to do almost zero lag drawing.
I think there is a bit of both. If an artist learned on their own, it may be more intuition (or, step-by-step, but they don't realize it because they don't think about the individual steps). But if you take a drawing class you will learn a lot of steps that you can reproduce.

A good striking example, do a video search for "two point perspective drawing", and look at some of the tutorials / demonstrations that come up.
”Privacy means, people know what they’re signing up for, in plain English, and, repeatedly“
The behavior is objectionable whether any of the parties had FB's approval or not. That Cambridge Analytica lacked FB's approval makes what they did either no different, or a lot worse, depending on your p.o.v. -- if you're FB, you're likely to think that Cambridge Analytica did something terrible; if you're the public then the end result was the same as in the Obama campaign case, so you might find the Cambridge Analytica no worse.

Seriously, being on the public side I can't tell the difference. Both cases involve (ab)use of user data from FB without the users' knowledge. Both are bad -- or neutral, if you're the sort of user that understands the implications of using Facebook at all. Indeed, I'm not even surprised by these incidents. If anything I'm surprised that anyone is. I'm not even surprised -though annoyed- by partisan attempts to make one side or the other look worse.

Please, let's stop pretending that Facebook's blessing makes one (ab)use of user data OK and the other not. If you object to a campaign's use of your data, why wouldn't you object to a campaign's use of someone else's data?

And yes, your data, when shared with FB, is FB's data. But do people even understand that? You and I do, but does your mom? Mine certainly does not.
A Self-Regulatory Framework to Support Formal Decentralized Economies
Google's stock structure is actually pretty interesting. At least in terms of voting.[0] The TL;DR is Larry Page and Sergey Brin still maintain an out sized influence over the direction of the company despite not owning the majority in an economic sense.

Obviously there is still regular stockholder desires, but in terms of overall direction the pair still seem to be pretty firmly in control.

I did some research on this a while back as I was trying to figure out how much stock someone would need to own to influence Google in a significant way. Turns out it is basically impossible to unseat them.

> real damage has been done to the health of the Java ecosystem by having billions of devices run fragmented Java-but-not-Java

Even 100% running with that, damaging an ecosystem isn't against the law. You could argue that Google damaged the Erlang ecosystem by not basing Android on Erlang. Ecosystems compete with each other all the time, and it's hard for one to grow without damaging another.
