However, even if it wasn't, I'd be hardly pressed to come up with a response as
clever and resourceful as your responses. For this reason, I quite enjoy
reading your comments whenever I come across them on
/r/perl6 and /r/programminglanguages.

> Like a lot of P6 stuff this... is both childishly simple but also so general, abstract, and high level... that it can be difficult to explain.

You're totally spot on. The most recent example of my struggle (mainly due to my ignorance of Perl 6 and probably CS concepts too) was the concept of containers and how they interface most assignments in Perl 6.
I think the fact that many Perl 6 constructs/concepts, which complex in nature, seem so natural can deceive people who haven't tried it yet. This is because it's easy to overlook (or plainly ignore) how much thought went into both integrating them into the language and make them play nicely together.

Dunno what you mean. SNMP Write is certainly a hard sell to allow, but SNMP read has been a consistently useful element of monitoring strategy across many organisations I've worked for.

V3's still a tricksy, time-sucking devil to implement ubiquitously, though.

It's true that for distributed systems, logging tends to work better/is a necessary first step. I'd still want to invest in an extensive test harness though, if you can afford that luxury. Usually this enables productive debugging for distributed systems code, which pays of quickly.

How Terrarium reframes the compiler and sandbox relationship
I'm also one of those who switched from PHP to Go and now I have quite a bit of legacy PHP code that just works and don't have time to rewrite.

My solution:

Use a Go FastCGI client library to call PHP by talking directly to php-fpm. It saves on the HTTP request overhead and no need to run a web server. Actually, php-fpm is a decent application server itself.

Edit: Here's a link to example code: https://github.com/tomasen/fcgi_client
My problem was not with Alex or his approach (which I agree is a great way to get started as stated in my original post).

It was the narrative the article was pushing about how knowledge of the field doesn't matter, just strong work ethic and selling yourself visually to potential employers.
Most of your points are irrelevant (packaging, JS as a compilation target, mobile development) as they do not support your argument that PHP would be inadequate for the task at hand. You seem not to like PHP, which is fine, neither do I, but this is not conclusive.

Issue with Yahoo mail
Hey all,

As is commonly known, phone numbers are recycled after their allotted usage. This means that when a user's phone enters recycling, their authentication number is recycled back into use.

This presents a significant security flaw. When a user's phone enters recycling, their authentication number is recycled back into use.

Since Yahoo! does not require a user to know an email address to recover an account but only a phone number, this presents a significant security flaw.

The new buyer of an old phone number can login to Yahoo! mail, type the phone number and access the email of the previous number owner without knowing the email address or credentials. Requiring him to type the email address would solve the problem.

I believe that requiring the person to type the email or first and last name would prevent new buyers of phone numbers from gaining access to the email of the previous owner of the phone number. What do you guys think, and how can this suggestion reach Yahoo? I believe this would prevent many problems for Yahoo users. Thanks.

Without wanting to sound critical of this, they seem to have reinvented long-lived PHP servers. Gearman has allowed you to do this with PHP for almost ten years now, and it was even the case that you could plug it directly into mongrel2 with 0mq.

Fundamentally, it's an idea that works incredibly well - it's amazing that more people don't make use of it....

> Qt's approach requires a separate compilation pass woith a Qt-specific tool named "moc" which declares a bunch of info in the signal class that's necessary for the slot implementation.

If you are willing to accept uglier macros, you can have QObject-compatible signals / slots in pure C++ without any kind of specific tool : https://github.com/woboq/verdigris

Also, Qt's approach is thread-safe (if you call a signal in a thread A on an object attached to a thread B, the slot will be executed in thread B) since it is tied to Qt's event loop.
I actually prefer QT's approach, it allows you to annotate with extra properties if you want.

Back in games we'd usually use some DSL to generate all the boilerplate code for things like this(also including a whole bunch of editor-specific flags for signals/members).

Also, every time I bring in boost headers I watch compile times crater. C++ 11 or 14 is good enough at this point that I don't see a strong reason to use boost. I know of 2-3 projects that migrated from boost -> C++11 for that reason alone.
Ah. Perhaps it was a bona fide story. The prof was pipetting glacial acetic acid by mouth, and inadvertently exceeded the maximum recommended volume of the pipette in a single transfer. Later, the entire interior lining of his mouth and tongue peeled off (with no further ill effects). After that, he used rubber suction bulbs to pipette. And aren't you undergrads lucky we have the fancy thumbwheel/plunger pipette controllers in your labs now?

Since I couldn't do it the easy way in an acetylsalicylic acid lab, I had to peel my mouth with the lactic acid from a big bag of Herr's salt and vinegar chips.
Sorry but the chart shows nothing. At this distance from the sun the gradient would be quite smoothed out so you just need to pick energy level (they choose 0.5MeV) and saw there drop below in October, if they choose 0.6 the drop would be sooner, if they choose 0.4 the drop would be later. I am aware about bow shock and termination shock but this number is just randomly picked it doesn't mean anything.

What I'm trying to say is that if you are trying to show that voyager's surrounding environment suddenly changed, this is the worst possible chart to use. If the gradient was perfectly linear, you would still see sudden drop at some point, depending on which random threshold you choose.
Nah. While Mainland Chinese people might want to be governed by Taipei and become free and prosperous, Chairman Xi and his cronies won’t give up their death grip on the golden goose that makes every one of their family members billionaires.

And of course the other way around is even sillier. Taiwanese are as likely to join the poverty-stricken and oppressive Xi regime as South Korea joining the rule of Kim song un.
> is possible to turn things around if voters are motivated enough, but for the most part they aren't, and party machine politicians on both sides would like to keep it that way.

Reminds me of David Foster Wallace...

> “If you are bored and disgusted by politics and don't bother to vote, you are in effect voting for the entrenched Establishments of the two major parties, who please rest assured are not dumb, and who are keenly aware that it is in their interests to keep you disgusted and bored and cynical and to give you every possible reason to stay at home doing one-hitters and watching MTV on primary day. By all means stay home if you want, but don't bullshit yourself that you're not voting. In reality, there is no such thing as not voting: you either vote by voting, or you vote by staying home and tacitly doubling the value of some Diehard's vote.”
Are you familiar with the personal history of Bill Clinton? Needless to say, his dad was not president.

I once looked up the personal histories of U.S. presidents. It was about 50% candidates who came from well-connected families (like both Bushes or FDR), and about 50% candidates who rose from seemingly humble beginnings (like Clinton, Truman, Eisenhower). It crosses party lines; both Carter and Reagan had humble beginnings.

Have you run for office yourself? You might feel differently about votes if you did. The field of candidates is only limited at the end. At the beginning, as you point out, it could be anyone.

And logically, a high volume of votes can't disprove the value of a single vote. If a single vote did not have any value, neither would a high volume of such votes!

But if a million votes are worth something, then each vote must be worth something too.
> but would it preferable to use Boost for callbacks over using lambdas, assuming you’re on a recent version?

it's not comparable, a boost::signal is equivalent to a list of functions which gets called when the signal is triggered, instead of a single function.

Is there a prevailing wind in interstellar space from other stars? Seems like it would be chaotic eddies near net zero. But maybe due to solar system motion or something like that there is a prevailing direction. If so would that mean we could use solar sails to continue to accellerate a spacecraft (at a much reduced rate) outside the heliosphere as long as we want to go in a specific direction arc?
I had a similar idea a while back. The implementation I came up with (but never implemented) was to create a PHP extension that would link to a statically compiled GO module. Basically it would instantiate a network server on the GO side, and marshal the HTTP request/response data structures back and forth between PHP and Go. I imagined I would probably utilize a pthreads extension or one of the event loop extensions to handle each incoming request:

At least lately, it's become pretty obvious that WaPo and NYT are feeding us crap on a regular basis. If you go look at the source materials, you'll realize that their "neutral" summaries aren't close to neutral, or aren't factual at all. Many times you don't even have to go to the source--the articles/headlines themselves aren't even internally consistent. ("Two men say they're Jesus, one of them must be wrong...")

Maybe it was always this way, and I never noticed.

> Apple purchases iPhones from Foxconn

It sounds like you think that Foxconn develop a new iPhone then Apple turn up to buy them like a consumer!

Foxconn manufacture iPhones under a precise contract with Apple, who do the design and plan how they should be built. Apple don’t just purchase them off the shelf.
Also, at their distance, they don't really have to be that close in aiming. Their beam is plenty wide by the time it reaches Earth.
My theory is that every book written about the fall of the Roman Empire is more about the political climate of the time it was written and the political perspective of the author writing it.

In the mid- to late-00s when sentiment against the Iraq was its peak, I remember seeing the claim that Rome fell because of military overreach and being in a constant state of war. On the more right-leaning side, I remember seeing the claim that Rome fell because Rome became a weakened, welfare state.

Obviously there are real reasons why Rome fell, it just seems to me that more often than not the explanation for its fall is a reflection of the times in which it was written.

edit The word "every" in the first sentence is too strong. I stand by the general sentiment, though.

The problem with this attitude is that it's, in a word, superior. Superior attitudes are rarely productive.

I dislike very strongly those communities who encourage their members to put themselves above others, and I see that as more harmful than any inherent value the community might provide.

If HN were really superior, people wouldn't have to keep telling me it's so, yet that's all I am told when this topic comes up. Why isn't it self-evident?

A large portion of my time on HN (nearly 10 years, blame XKCD) has been devoted to this topic specifically, and no one has yet shown me the merits of this site to a degree that it outweighs the arrogance its members have shown over and over.
