I meant the latest I have pushed to a specific server I run. This means I can push up and everyone working on the project can fetch them easily. It requires intervention, and I wouldn't push until I've tested thoroughly and made necessary changes.

Show HN: I'm making a new commenting system
Dont equate the evils of animal agriculture with the evils of corporate farming just by saying they are both bad.

I would need to find the study (it might be the one you're thinking of) but a plant based diet is still many, many, more times more sustainable than the current general western levels of animal product consumption. I would need to find the study, but I think for animal agriculture to not have great negative effects would need to be reduced to something like 10% of current levels. Again, I‘m not positive on these numbers and would need to find the study.
Forking an upstream project to implement decisions without upstream’s consent is a tried and true open source software process, implemented by thousands of projects over the years. Claiming that they don’t support standards, solely because they don’t support another implementation of those standards, is incorrect and inflammatory.
Hey HN, I'm rethinking commenting system and making it more intuitive with conversational interface. Building it from ground-up, it will 100% privacy focused commenting system.

What do you think about it?
Nice chart didn't know existed ;) I actually was a Fruitarian once - basically just ate mangoes, oranges, apples, etc.. all day long for a month. It was incredible. Dad from India so a lot of vegetarianism in my blood I suppose. My wife on the other hand couldn't make it last too long.

I wholeheartedly recommend fruitarianism if you can make it work (might not be easy).
It's appropriate that the Australian team wears yellow.
In my hardware security course we were recreating state of the art cache side channel and rowhammer attacks (at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, the final project was to reimplement an attack published by the VUSec group).

They don't seem to be quite prevalent here, I wonder what gives.
You break a lot of laws every morning while driving to work; doesn't mean your moral choices on average are worse than someone else.
> Busyness is not a virtue.

Funny, I've never heart anyone state it so succinctly. I ought to print that phrase out and paste it on the wall at my desk. (I work remote so it'd just be for me and not for management to judge)
What I did recently was risky, so YMMV.

I asked my boss for a raise last year around performance review time. I explained that I had taken on a lot of responsibility, I cited some projects that I led, and I enumerated how I had impacted our team since I had joined. I really was the top producer on my team at the time. He explained to me that I was already being paid more than any other engineer in my department, and he negotiated a small raise for me that year- 6% instead of the normal ~3%. I was disappointed.

This year, I decided to up my game. I continued to go above and beyond at work, and then around performance review time I interviewed at a couple companies in the area and got two written offers for 20%+ more than I was making. I handed those to my boss and explained that I really enjoyed working for him, and for this company, and that I don't want to leave, but I believed this is what I was worth.

He immediately submitted me for a promotion, and I'm hopeful that the raise will come with it. I should get the results in the next 2 weeks.
It was intermittent. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. The error message given suggested it was trying and failing to find a cloudflare hosted site (which to my knowledge the BBC isn't). Unfortunately I can't remember exactly what the error said.

I'll try it again for awhile and see if I have any issues now.

Illegal and immoral behavior are not the same thing, especially when you consider bias in the legal system as to whom the law is enforced against (poor, male, minority).
3. A climate change management plan that doesn't have an unrelated jobs giveaway embedded within.

I'm willing to hold my nose and tolerate #2 in the meantime.
Yup. They were founded on a BASIC for the Altair 8800. pCode as an architectural element of their BASICS, however, was ten or more years after that. (IIRC, Applesoft BASIC's execution model was a doubly linked list of statement structures. My guess is tokenized, but not in the same sense as QB4 compiled to pcode.)
IMO PHP's Laravel is competitive with Django.

I think Django, Laravel, and Rails are really the only 3 frameworks with the levels of ecosystem and built in functionality that these 3 have (unless there's something in Java-land that I'm not aware of). ASP.NET Core is close, but the ecosystem around it is weaker.

Well, how is slaughtering chickens ethical?

For every egg-laying chicken out there, a male chicken is slaughtered, and both egg-laying and dairy milking harm the animals (for instance, compare avg. life span of a dairy cow with their natural life-span).

There's also the factor of number of animals killed - One lamb feeds a lot more people than one chicken, yet both are living animals capable of pain and suffering.

That's not to say that either is particularly ethical, but (as a vegan), I don't think you can easily say that eating eggs is intrinsically more ethical than eating meat.
Scenario A - it's a startup: I strongly discourage you from taking "I have another offer" approach first if you really like your current job. I've been on the other side of the table so many times and I can tell you that by doing this you immediately destroy all emotional capital and sense of loyalty with your employer. If you really like your job - I'd simply talk to your manager and say something like "I really enjoy working here and I've done X, Y and Z since my last raise. I think my current salary is below the market. What can I do to get a raise?".

If you're valued there - you'll get a raise. If not - time to start looking for a new job.

Scenario B - it's a big company: Just find another job. In most cases they have BS rules like "3% salary increase per year maximum", but it depends on the company.
That's not how copyright law works. The particulars vary by country but the share everything internet culture doesn't automatically grant permission to make copies.
Sure. Especially in countries that don't have network neutrality...
At the article is making similar claims about vegetarians as vegans (a matter of degree rather than boolean, both “having less DHA” than omnivores), I don’t believe it’s important to make the distinction when criticising it either.

Modern war also produces a lot of carbon. Tank fuel usage is measured in gallons per mile rather than miles per gallon. An M1 abrams gets 0.6 mpg, a F-22 at military power gets 0.4. Now imagine the fuel usage required by two post-industrial countries having it out rather than the US running counter-insurance operations.

I suspect that even if modern war dropped populations enough to dent CO2 production, the war itself would burn enough oil to offset it.
Wow that looks powerful. I have a YOLO / openCV project I need a web app built for so users can log in and download preconfigurations... was thinking elixir/phoenix framework but i'm second guessing the productivity hit i'd take due to lack of SO questions, and mature libraries.
> What exactly would you get in terms of benefits from switching to Ruby?

You'd get Ruby on Rails.
Imagine migrating your own code to a new framework just to own the libs.
The PyCharm IDE has extra support for Django to enable some additional type inference, and it works like an absolute (pun intended) charm.

Beyond that, the Django core isn't type-annotated yet likely because of Python version support, but I'm sure you can get typeshed pyis or something.
Little need for “probably” as you can look at actual data. While generally ignored, farming is the #1 consumer of energy via photosynthesis (everything else combined is a rounding error in comparison). As effecency increases less farm land is cultivated up to population limits. Modern suburbs waste a vast bounty of energy in modern economies.

In the US. “The proportion of the land base in agricultural uses has declined from 63 percent in 1949 to 51 percent in 2007.”
> Are you uncomfortable with China's aggressive censorship, human rights abuses, and surveillance? Stop buying shit from them.

China is buying up realestate and farm land in every major western nation. China is buying critical infrastructure across the globe via the Belt and Road initiative[1][2]. China has become too big and too powerful to be stopped by mere consumer action. They are not planning to wage a war on democracy, they're planning to simply subsume it with soft power and emigration.

To stop China's hellish vision of the future from becoming reality, the leaders of the developed world need to hit it with trade controls as hard as they did Cuba. But so far it seems that everyone is choosing to sell out their own country for those sweet Chinese RMB[3].

I see the sign of the times when I go to the largest shopping centre in the Southern Hemisphere (Chadstone, Melbourne, Australia) and see little stands advertising AU realestate in all-Chinese banners, staffed by Chinese agents who don't even speak English. The citizens of the country they're selling are not worth talking to.

I wonder how they handle cash backs? It seems surreal to me that Apple is offering cashbacks on any transaction using its card.
I'm pro nuclear. But just the construction time for a new plant is fairly close to a decade. That doesn't include planning. I'd also assume that we simply don't have the capacity to build thousands of reactors in a decade, for example because the manufacturing of pressure vessels is a fairly specialized industry.

We have about ten years to cut our emissions by at least 40% compared to 2010 and twenty more years to become completely carbon neutral. We need to invest massively into solar, wind, and storage. We need to insulate our homes. We need to ban cars from cities. We need immense reforestation projects. If we have the resources to also build nuclear plants while we're doing all the other things, great, but it can't be the option with the highest priority because they're expensive and take forever until they're done.
Many, yes, but not all.

Personally, when I've been (as I am now) an employee that has received equity as part of my compensation, the fact that I'm receiving equity doesn't make me feel that I'm taking a risk. In terms of my daily thinking, I don't even count the equity position at all -- at best, it's pure gravy. The only thing I really count is the actual money I'm paid.
Rights vs. Duties: Philosophers on Reclaiming Civic Balance
That is not something which has factored into the conversation on our (Cloudflare's) end. The bigger issue is even as we make technical improvements, we very much don't want to create a separate Internet. The minute we begin adding, removing, or changing content when it comes through Warp those questions begin to be asked.
That's not a discussion or dialog. Sharing what you know is only half the motive. Seeing the responses and learning something new is the other half.

When you already know what the response is likely to be (because most people are pandering for karma), it's just as pointless.

If you're interested in more detail about how a VFS (Virtual File System; the bit where it finds the file and then finds the data in the file) works, Chapter 17 (Another Level of Indirection) in Beautiful Code (http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596510046.do ) is well worth a read.

It explains how the VFS in FreeBSD works. How disks, partitions, volumes, filesystems, offsets, etc all get orchestrated together so that the Unix "single directory hierarchy" abstraction works as intended even tho' the actual data may be spread around a number of locations (both local and remote).

The concepts and ideas are largely applicable to other Unixes and Unix-like operating systems.

It's also a great example of how elegantly one can express polymorphic code, even in plain C.

Im a big fan of django, and have used it for several projects. Using rest-framework allows you also to make powerful apis, and SPA front ends like Vue or React. It's ORM is also a very user friendly (though aggregations are definitely a pain).

I consistently come back due to the great docs, and the ease of use. Being python based means you can integrate a lot of libraries, especially if you are doing any kind of data science related stuff. Websockets and real time stuff can be cumbersome from my experience, and for that I would stick to node. It's possible to use django-channels but I had a very mixed experience trying this.
Sure. What makes anyone use cloudflarenet if you're using different standards? You start by owning the market (which you're moving towards, and in a very good position to do), and then start making changes. All speculation, of course, but I agree with the gp that this is a very real possibility.
That looks like it could be the version I read. Thanks for the link!
Just popping in to say i believe the Equifax hack was also do to a 'bad manual deployment' similar to this. They had a number of servers but they didnt patch one of the servers in their system. Hackers were able to find this one server with outdated and vulnerable software and took advantage of it.

I think deploys get better with time, but that initial blast of software development at a startup is insane. You literally need to do whatever it takes to get your shit running. Some of these details dont matter because initially you have no users. But if your company survives for a couple years and builds a user base, you still have the same shitty code and practices from early times.

Yes, obviously I am. ;)

Django is not really the only framework around for rapid web development so I haven't really found any pain so far.

I'm not wasting the time on drama, which is exactly why I stopped using Django. I just made a comment here on why I stopped using it.

The python community has a history of PC-people ruining it for people:

https://adainitiative.org/2014/09/22/why-guido-van-rossum-su...

https://www.cnet.com/news/two-people-fired-over-pycon-dongle...

And nowadays jokes aren't allowed on PyCon (https://us.pycon.org/2019/about/code-of-conduct/) from what I assume is after that indicdent lol.

But yes, I am the sensitive one that is causing drama ;)
I use atrun-scheduled mail reminders all the time. Scheduling will be nice to have on the phone where sshing is painful.

This is nonsense. I’ve been a vegan for years and do not supplement DHA or EPA. My body converts everything from ALA. My blood levels are great.

There is no such thing as clinical DHA defiency established in the literature. What regulates ALA metabolism is poorly understood, but it seems when you don’t get DHA and EPA your body does fine, as evidenced by every vegan alive.

Also there isn’t much DHA or EPA in a diet that includes fish. You can’t get the 1.5g a day that’s recommended by eating fish or eggs in your diet. Yet humans were doing just fine before fish oil supplements.
Root | Columbus, OH | Full-time | Onsite / partial remote | $80k-$150k |

https://root.engineering/

Root is an auto insurance carrier, like GEICO and Progressive. We use data science to identify and insure good drivers, reducing insurance premiums for good drivers significantly as a result.

We're a startup — we're 500 people who have been working on this since March 2015. We've built an iOS and Android app that gathers data on how well people drive. We use that to set insurance prices. To build the best possible product and user experience, we went through the arduous process of starting an insurance carrier from scratch.

We're focused on becoming a national insurance carrier and are now live in 24 states.

We've raised $180M in Venture Capital since 2015 and we're scaling rapidly. To do that, we're looking to bring on more exceptionally talented engineers. Whether you're just getting started out in software development or someone who is looking to lend your experience in leadership to a rapidly scaling engineering organization, we plan on doubling our engineering team in the next year alone. So, you're in luck.

Our tech stack involves Ruby / Rails and Javascript / React Native. However, we're not only looking for people with experience in our stack but rather we're looking for experienced technologists with sound engineering fundamentals using any technology.

Email us at either chris.evans@joinroot.com or tim.hill@joinroot.com to apply and we'll respond to you promptly.

> When I drink coffee I become at least 20% better solving problems

That's intereseting. Is this something you have measured, logged, and accounted for other factors (e.g. via double-blinding etc)?
Typically I study the technology. Either what they are using or what they are developing. As other have said it does not pay, but I like starting off looking good. As has been well proven, much to my displeasure, first impressions are the strongest.
> It is difficult to be sure precisely how much DHA we need, as DHA conversion rates and availability can vary significantly depending on age, gender, genetics, and dietary composition

Vegetarianism/veganism has the same problems with calcium and B12, as those are typically gotten through animals in omnivore diets. It doesn't mean that vegetarianism/veganism is bad, just that you have to be conscious of your diet. We have a phrase in our house: "You need to eat all the colors." We include a wide variety of foods in our diet, and milk replacement products with calcium.

As a critical thinker, it bothers me when something says "Well, we don't understand what this relationship is or its importance; therefore, you should conclude.." Seems like a hit piece on vegetarianism/veganism more than anything else. Nevertheless, recognizing the importance of certain fats in your body is a good thing.
