I am not sure people are getting these results with PHP and FTP. Sure, the build time is zero seconds. But each page load takes 100ms because it's doing the same work over and over for every request. Yes, even if you cache opcodes. We have a legacy PHP app and an "echo hello world" request takes 100ms. An extremely complicated request then takes 102ms to process. It is shockingly slow, but it is not something you will notice unless you have a lot of instrumentation, so you might be lead to believe that your performance woes are caused by something else.
This may be your subjective experience, but you have a single data point (you) and no control so you can't make assertions about your diet's effectiveness like you have.

- Lots of Energy (compared to what? Measured how?)
- No cold or other common illness (a huge claim that requires substantial evidence to support it).

What is scientific causation but correlation that works to an acceptable quantity of Sigma?
My first time creating s pihole I had everything setup with a nice sd card then proceeded to put this plastic case over it. Seemed a little tough to put on like it was a little pressure fit so I clicked it into place then tried starting it back up. Well it never came up then I started looking at the pi and realized that the case didn’t have a cutout where the sd card protrudes and it cracked the damn card at the tip! Ended up using a cheaper one I had lying around but wow, lesson learned the hard way.

I use stickers to keep track of my laptop at airports. When you put your machine through the scanners you have to take it out of your bag which makes it look just like everyone else's Space Gray MBP. With some personal stickers on it, it's much easier to make sure I grab the right one when I rush to gather my things and get redressed. :/

This is not true. The RADAR stations were well-known to the Germans, who bombed them from the very start of the BoB and devised many tricks to counter them.
There's a culture on twitter now, of "exposing" viral tweets (usually jokes) for having been stolen from less prominent people on the platform.

I'm a coder journalists. I could make a lot more outside of journalism but I believe in the mission as do the traditional journalists. We don't just like having jobs - we do it because our democracy and society wouldn't work as well without it. Sometimes there are trade offs made to pay the bills so we can do the work that matters. It's not ideal but the whole industry is just trying to keep their heads above water right now.
I don't know about the rest of you, but since crap like Zoom runs just fine in Firefox, that's where I'm keeping it. Ironically, I trust the browser's sandboxing way more than the vendor's app, which inevitably seem to open up my computer to some crazy vulnerability or phone home with my personal data or some other nonsense. I feel, perhaps wrongly, that I have more control over what the browser executes and what (web) applications can access, so Zoom, BlueJeans, Slack, Discord, and the rest are getting trashed.

Interesting, I will definitely try this out. If the Kubernetes ingress integration works well and it's stable, this could be really awesome.

I'm a bit curious about the choice of websockets as a protocol over the tunnel, though. Why is "tunnelling plain (non-HTTP) traffic over TCP" a non-goal? What's the benefit over just tunneling the HTTP traffic over a reverse SSH tunnel or similar?

EDIT: Maybe it's just a question of the author finding websockets "good enough" (despite performance overhead) and wanting to keep the scope small with a single implementation that isn't really going anywhere. Here a suggestion on using WebRTC instead of Websockets: https://github.com/alexellis/inlets/issues/49

> Thanks for the suggestion. I'll look into webrtc when I get time, but for the time-being I think web sockets are going to be the way inlets works.
DNS round robin provides redundancy, not load balancing (though it ipso facto does somewhat evenly distribute requests). You really need an application aware load balancer that can detect http status codes and route around failures at the very least.

I am not familiar with Perl 6, nor with list comprehensions, but I am wondering if this is really more readable than the 'traditional' way of looping through the prime numbers and appending to the list, like this:

strongs=[]
weaks=[]

n=1
AskedNumbers=10
while len(strongs) < AskedNumbers:
if p(n) * 2 > ( p(n-1) + p(n+1) ):
if len(strongs) < AskedNumbers:
strongs.append(p(n))
if p(n) * 2 < ( p(n-1) + p(n+1)):
if len(weaks) < AskedNumbers:
weaks.append(p(n))
n+=1
print(strongs)
print(weaks)

Right, and Marilyn Monroe's death is why people believe that the moon landing was faked? Or are we overthinking this?

I would suggest that people believe in Pizzagate because other people who knew better but had reasons to pretend not encouraged them to do so. Once you start from the premise that Hillary Clinton is the Queen of Night, and that clues to this truth are woven throughout the fabric of reality, then any old list of nouns--pizza, takeout, whatever--can be mapped to any other list plausibly enough.

(If I sound grouchy about this, I am--I sometimes shop or dine on the block where Comet Pizza is.)

Maybe the US should be targeting those companies, too. I don't think you can really say a multinational still is or acts "American", even if a majority of its employees and its owners are.
I think people don't want to leave their editor because navigating and typing code is a large part of programming. If you try some new editor, it's always going to be pretty wonky. For example, I've been using the Arduino IDE recently. I am used to navigating lines with C-n and C-p. It's something I do thousands of times a day. In the Arduino IDE, those keys create a new sketch (something I want to do maybe once a week) and print the current sketch (something I imagine nobody wants to do ever).

The UI is just not thought out at all. I don't think I'm being resistant to change. I think their IDE is just garbage.

Some people have done new IDEs well, VSCode comes to mind. But replicating 40 years of features is not going to happen overnight, and some of those features are actually important. Figuring out which ones are the key. If you don't hit a developer's critical set of features, they aren't going to use your thing.
I think the majority of politicians in Western countries have at least one filmed child sex episode. Assume you're a very powerful politician and you need underlings in powerful positions, which you can help novices get, but once they get powerful they become independent and can stop being underlings.
Filming them having sex with an kid, or at least an obviously underage teen, is the single best blackmail material possible. Damage potential basically equal to murder evidence, but there's no hard to hide murder victim - and in child sex one victim can be used several times, as opposed to just one time in murder.

As every such cabal would be much more effective than a lone politician, eventually power would entirely shift to competing cabals bound by child sex blackmail - making it impossible to dismantle externally, because both the executive, the judicial system and the biggest media would be controlled by people in such arrangements. Media in particular would have the main job - in case of any genuine leaks, mix the truth with outlandish claims to discredit it as a dumb conspiracy theory.

The game theory works out so nice I don't see any alternative, it's the stable state of the political system. I can see it being murder though, if disposing a body is much easier than my estimate.

In non-Western societies it could be something else. In North Korea, being filmed shitting on a photo of the current leader would work much better I guess.

Paystack (YC W16) | Software/Cloud Engineers, Hiring/Training/Agile Leads | Nigeria | Full-time | Remote | https://paystack.com/engineering

Paystack helps businesses in Africa get paid by anyone, anywhere in the world. We raised a Series A from Stripe and Visa and are a growing team of 77 friends (21 engineers) with a mission to accelerate digital commerce in one of the fastest-growing economies in the world.

We're expanding across Africa and have people from as far as Canada, France, and Turkey. We help relocate anyone interested to where our offices are, but we're also determined about remote. Due to rapid growth, half of us are remote today.

One specific occasion we do require our people to be present at is our quarterly off-site. Four times a year, we fly you in for an extended weekend of jam-packed fun and company-wide check-in, and should you opt for extending your stay a little bit, we host you at our guest house or a sweet hotel. Here’re a few photos from our Q3 offsite (https://bit.ly/2GkPcZx)

We enjoy a close relationship with some of the most interesting technology companies in the world. GitHub CEO Nat Friedman recently swung by our Lagos office (https://bit.ly/2xLmGLy) and we also hosted teams from Stripe (https://bit.ly/2XGxK7m)

Our engineering has independent infrastructure, frontend, and (multiple) backend teams that work closely with product, growth, and business. We deploy JavaScript on AWS, data on MySQL, maintain some legacy PHP alongside small Java services.

We're making great efforts to modularize and improve the quality of our codebases on a quest to embrace asynchronous processing and independent microservices on cloud-agnostic infrastructure.

We're very proud of our product, and we made a promise to ourselves to make our codebase a thing of envy.

So here's what we need; people better than us in every way.

We're a tight bunch of curious people hungry for experienced colleagues to take us to the next level. We crave highly skilled, kind teammates who hold themselves to high standards, and care as fiercely as we do about pursuing collective growth and learning.

A challenge to build a payments growth engine for an entire continent does not come often. It's an especially interesting time to join Paystack.

Our hiring is not very conventional and we try to personalize it. We mainly rely on working together on a sample, fictitious project. We'll recognize experience, insatiable curiosity, and an immense passion for sharing.

My name is Serkan. I myself have joined Paystack only 8 months ago when we were less than 35 people and have been leading engineering for the past 3 months from my home in Turkey. Please don't hesitate to reach me at serkan@paystack.com and let's begin chatting.

Time is the primary limitation on learning art, engineering, or even science not other resources. Kids have a lot of time growing up with few limits, especially with long summers, but it’s still finite. Adults just have more obvious opportunity costs.

Kids are also competing with other kids for recognition and positive feedback, where adults are judged more harshly.
I like this idea as the foundation of a Lisp-based shell. I'd like to see an plugin API, and package mechanism, similar to MELPA for Emacs. Users could write scripts and publish them as a signed package, then users could install them.

I'd also love to see terminal Emacs as the default shell editor for this shell.
Given how tightly coupled is Dark with its IDE and deployment environment, I'm interested in knowing how much VC money have they taken? What if they get acquired or simply shut down?

It looks like there won't be a migration path, and you'll need to rewrite your app from scratch using a different language. Again, it would be nice some transparency around how much VC money they've taken.
All food used to come from those growing periods. I think you grew certain kinds of tubers that could be stored over winter in a root cellar or made into preserves.

If you look at the picture on Wikipedia, potatoes and onions and carrots are prominent: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victory_garden

That said I don't know the answer and I'd be curious what they did in winter in wartime.
Very arrogant post that doesn't explain CORS or offer any useful links for understanding CORS.
The impression I got, and it's only an impression based on various blog posts, articles and mailing lists over the years, is that OpenBSD is the most secure operating system even though it's mostly programmed in C (and that they're not looking to replace that with Rust, et al) with mitigations like W^X and pledge, etc; and the fact that their code base is the smallest. I mean I know this is a wide and complicated area with different classes of bugs and vulnerabilities, but still I thought it was generally accepted.
So far I've had great experiences with Stripe's support.
They also discuss a case, where a user uninstalls Zoom, but does not remove the web server, remaining forever vulnerable, because the fix from Zoom will not reach them. That explains the Apple involvement.
I think it is actually in Guile. Even though there are not parens in sight, this is a whitespace-based syntax for Scheme.

I don't have a reference at hand now, but I vaguely remember such a comment from the FOSDEM presentation.
Well, it lasts 2.5 - 3 hours with Breath of the Wild. But yeah, it does depend.

5 hours would be enough, I agree.
Didn't intend it to be funny but good for you.

Hating ads is misguided. Ads aren't going anywhere and network effects keep users and advertisers coming to Facebook and Google. The solution we see is going after the ad money with a different business model and use cases that give users control over their personal data while serving advertisers needs. That is disruption and idlewords could leverage sorry use his success and relative fame to more impact sorry effect on changing the status quo.
>Humans are physically much closer to herbivores than true omnivores and, of course, carnivores.

Where can I read more about this?

>If anything we're opportunistic primates that evolved to take advantage of calories where we found them.

That sure sounds like "omnivore" to me.

>These appeals to nature generally ignore the fact that the things we ate over the millennia don't exist now.

They also fail the other way: for example, humans have evolved new metabolic pathways for adult consumption of lactose at least twice in the last 100,000 years, and they're different pathways! (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3048992/)

homestasis doesn't mean "everything is constant", it means "everything's moving all the time, and the set point doesn't change a lot if things are going well because we're always compensating"
So these companies basically admit that, if we knew who owned them, we wouldn't be buying their voting machines? I think that by itself is enough reason to avoid them.

It's bizarre how much of a wild west the US electoral procedures are. You'd think this would be extremely strongly regulated, but instead it's a free-for-all where the real interests are kept as opaque as possible.

> make it increasingly difficult to enforce ethical decisions

Nonsense - this is a solved problem. You simply need to remove the ability to make defined classes of bad decisions by binding the company's future decision making capability with a Ulysses pact[1]. Cory Doctorow gave a good talk[2] about using Ulysses pacts in the tech industry.

>> It's not that you don't want to lose weight when you raid your Oreo stash in the middle of the night. It's just that the net present value of tomorrow's weight loss is hyperbolically discounted in favor of the carbohydrate rush of tonight's Oreos. If you're serious about not eating a bag of Oreos your best bet is to not have a bag of Oreos to eat. Not because you're weak willed. Because you're a grown up. And once you become a grown up, you start to understand that there will be tired and desperate moments in your future and the most strong-willed thing you can do is use the willpower that you have now when you're strong, at your best moment, to be the best that you can be later when you're at your weakest moment.

>> The answer to not getting pressure from your bosses, your stakeholders, your investors or your members, to do the wrong thing later, when times are hard, is to take options off the table right now.

1) Thanks, docks at work are provided, but I'll check whether they will also provide one for working at home.

2) This is more or less the way it's already done. The plan now is to replace every desktop PC with only one laptop per employee company-wide. Which is why I was asking if this is such a common practice, especially since the company tries hard to come off as modern and hip in other regards.

3) Very good point, I'll look into that. I'm not in the US, but similar regulations probably apply here.
I'm half-convinced of the notion that the "Pizzagate" idea was spread on the plan that "whatever our side is about to be accused of, make sure that the other side is accused of it first".

It's like projection, only not unconscious; it's deliberate deflection to make the real thing look less believable when it comes up.

What I am more certain of, is that in general in modern politics, disinformation has been weaponized to a high degree.
The strongest interpretation of your argument, that the entire art market is a scheme to deprive rich fools of their money, with no role for taste and real differentiation of artistic worth is obviously untrue. Van Gogh May have known some other artists and gallerists but he sold more or less nothing during his lifetime. I’m confident there are other examples in fine art and god knows Banksy and Shepard Fairey didn’t come up out of a traditional fine art background either.

A weaker form, that the art world is incredibly incestuous and that who you know is incredibly important is true, but it still doesn’t make the entire art world a scam. Artists and gallerists believe in what they’re doing. I presume most of the rich buying art are doing so in part based on personal taste too.
