Airplanes or portable computers.

Laptops aren't perfect, you need to take them everywhere, the screen is much smaller, and they are expensive.
Imagine a world where you only need a smartphone and a headset. You are traveling by airplane? You take out your headset, and you have a huge screen in front of you to work with.

I think VR/AR could replace the need of laptops in maybe 10 years. Firefox is stepping in the right direction for it. Firefox combined with AWS Cloud9, and you can have a programming machine in VR.

That is a hideously ugly building.

It doesn't say "city of the future" to me, as the author seems to suggest, but city of the past. And not the glorious past or the beautiful past, but a period of architecture dominated by harsh lines, masses of exposed concrete, and the idea of architecture expressing domination over the land and over the people who used it.

Brutalism, here in the UK, is largely seen as an ugly mistake. I would categorise this with it.
Yeah definitely agree here. This is probably also the best way to actively to avoid "doing both" in the long term. Twitch does seem to be a great example here (as mentioned above) and Emmett also talks a bit about it in his user testing class from startup school (starting @ 2:40ish).

The 2012 bug was a bad interaction between Java and thread locking in the Linux kernel. It affected MySQL as well. The 2009 bug was in the Linux kernel, in the logging code. The 2016 bug I mentioned was in Cloudflare's proprietary code and only had a big impact because so many websites use Cloudflare. There are zillions of other smaller leap second related bugs, these are only three of the most visible.

Actually, I think early versions (like from pre-1.0 through maybe 1.5 or so) of Docker had some very high quality code and was also very pleasing to look at. It was very clean and super approachable and readable, and I felt sort of like how the NetBSD commenter felt as described in their comment.
With a PC it's easy for an attacker to modify the hardware, for example by inserting a recording device in the keyboard connector, so preventing an attacker from modifying the bootloader wouldn't add much security. Even with a typical laptop it's fairly quick and easy to replace or insert components.

In general, it's funny how security bods sometimes worry about attackers modifying the hardware when the attacker could achieve the same thing more easily by completely replacing the hardware.

It is not the “shocking” exception that minorities get sentenced more harshly for the same crime. The article so linked to also stated that prosecutors had a convention and one of the sessions was basically how to exclude minorities without running afoul of the Supreme Court case that made race base selection illegal.

The very post we are commenting on is an example of where there was prosecutorial misconduct and a lousy defense.

The mundane reality is that court system and the entire justice system is weighted toward the state and thst there are systemic issues when it comes to equal treatment under the law for the poor and minorities.
This was my first thought. I was strongly suspecting at least some use of taxidermy, especially for the paws. However, the photographer apparently had other means:

So he claimed that they weren't hurt, but they certainly were forced into those positions. I'm going to go with no, they weren't having a good time. Given the time, though, it could have been worse.

> mean aren't they sending their users to your web page?

No, in this specific case, they are sending images from the page to users, bypassing the actual page.

For a site where the user value was in the image and the monetization was elsewhere on the page, it's capturing the value of your work and bypassing the mechanism which pays you for that work. It may be legal, but even if so it is not sustainable.
Another thing to consider, for cars, is that these things need PARKING SPACES. For an already dense city that means large, multilevel parking garages dotted all over the city. How many more garages are we talking about for a half million more cars? A lot... enough to impact the nature and function of the city itself.

If you're going to make a case for private cars vs WMATA, there is a wider scope of things to evaluate than just operating cost.

So just a few days ago a good number of HNers were lamenting copyrights. One commenter even going so far as to say that he never respects copyright. Other suggesting that copyright owners should lose copyright when they’ve made enough money. Just ridiculous nonsense.

And today, because the “bad guy” was Apple, suddenly everyone cares about copyright.

A forum where people have no problem discussing torrents which are used frequently to violate copyrights — and now they are outraged about Apple using chord finder in a gallery example for Shortcuts? And the owner of the content is actually happy about it!

Maybe not unsafe per se from an emissions perspective, but there are spectrum considerations and other things, and with more and more done in software and less with discrete components, the trend is clear.

Safety is complex - what if the phone starts emitting on bands allocated to emergency services.
Generally there's the lossy pipeline of get people interested (1) -> give people a motive to contribute and obtain a first contribution (2) -> foster the contributions into long term collaboration (3).

Right now my primary target for attracting contributors is a synthesizer project. It's pretty interesting from the perspective of all the different working parts, though it does have sizable hurdles to attracting a large contributor base. Most users don't have a strong programming background and as such open source contributions appear to be too difficult (limiting 1->2). Individuals who are familiar with programming may still be unprepared for domain specific problems limiting the 1->2 transition as well.

Most of my attempts are trying to make the software more approachable in general, improving general internal quality, presenting the information to crowds who are familiar with it (multiple conference pubs), presenting it to groups mostly unfamiliar with it (HN/Reddit style threads/AMAs), encouraging community members who work on related sub-projects, using most popular hosting options, posting information on how to get started on the project's web presence, trying to convey that the project offers opportunities to learn skills rather than just apply existing ones, etc, etc, etc.

I'm not really sure which techniques really work or not since results are typically either delayed or are muddled with many different factors.

My newest attempt was based on a suggestion in a HN thread to list possible project roles (similar to if they were job listings). See http://zynaddsubfx.sf.net/contribute.html for that idea in action.

I'm not sure what the next effort will be, though I plan on discussing that on the project's mailing list this next week. Any suggestions or comments are welcome.
It's a bit of a relic from back when bank transfers only happened via paper, but I wouldn't call it a scam. Megacorps give each other the same terms all the time, so it's more about tradition and inertia than market power.

One remembers, for example, the trial, condemnation and execution of Prof. Dr. Scott Nearing at the University of Pennsylvania, a seminary that is highly typical, both in its staff and in its control. Nearing, I have no doubt, was wrong in his notions--honestly, perhaps, but still wrong. In so far as I heard them stated at the time, they seemed to me to be hollow and of no validity. He has since discharged them from the chautauquan stump, and at the usual hinds. They have been chiefly accepted and celebrated by men I regard as asses. But Nearing was not thrown out of the University of Pennsylvania, angrily and ignominiously, because he was honestly wrong, or because his errors made him incompetent to prepare sophomores for their examinations; he was thrown out because his efforts to get at the truth disturbed the security and equanimity of the rich ignoranti who happened to control the university, and because the academic slaves and satellites of these shopmen were restive under his competition for the attention of the student body. In three words, he was thrown out because he was not safe and sane and orthodox. Had his aberration gone in the other direction, had he defended child labor as ardently as he denounced it and denounced the minimum wage as ardently as he defended it, then he would have been quite secure in his post, for all of his cavorting in the newspapers, as Chancellor Day was at Syracuse.

Now consider the case of the professors of economics, near and far, who have not been thrown out. Who will say that the lesson of the Nearing debacle has been lost upon them? Who will say that the potency of the wealthy men who command our universities--or most of them--has not stuck in their minds? And who will say that, with this sticking remembered, their arguments against Nearing's so-called ideas are as worthy of confidence and respect as they would be if they were quite free to go over to Nearing's side without damage? Who, indeed, will give them full credit, even when they are right, so long as they are hamstrung, nose-ringed, and tied up in gilded pens?

It seems to me that these considerations are enough to cast a glow of suspicion over the whole of American political economy, at least in so far as it comes from college economists. And, in the main, it has that source, for, barring a few brilliant journalists, all our economists of any repute are professors. Many of them are able men, and most of them are undoubtedly honest men, as honesty goes in the world, but over practically every one of them there stands a board of trustees with its legs in the stock-market and its eyes on the established order, and that board is ever alert for heresy in the science of its being, and has ready means of punishing it, and a hearty enthusiasm for the business. Not every professor, perhaps, may be sent straight to the block, as Nearing was, but there are plenty of pillories and guardhouses on the way, and every last pedagogue must be well aware of it.

This is such an underrated comment.

I love this style of code reviews and it's the one I've experienced best discussions with. It goes in line with assuming that you, as a reviewer, don't know what the intentions/rationale are rather than blindly dictating your solution. A lot of times the reviewer that says "this is wrong" is then explained to why it was done a certain way and is the one proven wrong. Questioning yourself as a reviewer is always a good idea. Asking questions gives feedback without coming off aggressive/judgemental/patronizing.
Very similar vibes to the mothballed TWA terminal at JFK, and a lot of the same problems: beautifully architected indoor spaces which are way too small to accommodate the large numbers of people needing to pass through (or wait at) a modern airport, not enough internal separation to facilitate current security needs, and tons of open staircases everywhere— basically zero ability to comply with ADA or even fire regs.

As a point of information, I wasn't using monopoly in a particularly pejorative sense, but more just to explain the situation. Feel free to replace with a less loaded word in your head.
Nothing is wrong per se, but building it and keeping it was, and likely is, the wrong decision (unless you did it as an exercise or to learn).

Suppose you had decided to use Redis, Memcache, or any number other things that are available off the shelf. This would have let you get going faster, have more features, it'd be more scalable, and you would have a smaller code-footprint in your project (which is good from a maintainability perspective). Lots of web frameworks also provide integration with these stores out of the box with trivial code changes (i.e. with Rails, you just list Redis as your session store, provide the connection string to the instance, and you're done, Tomcat is about as easy, I feel reasonably certain this is true for all full featured web frameworks out there). We're talking a couple of lines of configuration here. This has the benefit of being written being battle tested by other people in production and with a variety of use cases. No guarantees it doesn't contain any bugs, but you're unlikely to be the one to encounter them first.

Also, your use case sounds relatively small. By contrast, at my last startup we were running tens of millions of cache hits per second with an ehCache/Memcache system (ehCache was a local hot-cache, cache misses went to Memcache). Other than some parameter tuning, it worked out of the box. It took me less than a day to have the whole thing working and set up for production use. Once it was set up, it never needed much attention except for the occasional Memcache param tweaks. For a vanilla use case like yours, you probably could have been running it in less than an hour and you'd never have to touch anything (with Rails and Heroku which I'm familiar with, it would take less than 10 minutes). We also get documentation and support for free (thank you stackoverflow, mailing list folks, and OS project maintainers).

So, I would wager that it took us less time to set up and maintain our fully-featured, massively scalable, distributed cache than you took to set up yours; and I'd also wager that our setup significantly outperforms yours. If we needed a feature in the future, we could also likely just add a config param vs. having to write it ourselves (5 min vs 5 days). And finally, we never had any tests for our caching or eviction management and we knock on wood never hit any bugs in either system.

Long story short, if I came across a project with a custom key-value store, it would have to be pretty darn specialized for me not to rip it out and replace with something standard.

So nothing sounds wrong with your design, but I would conjecture that the decision to design it in the first place was a mistake for any reason other than a learning experience.
