The Boiler Room for Groups
To download our Teachers' and Group Organizers' Package click here.

Come and experience the thrill of indoor wall climbing. Bring your group to the Boiler Room for a unique and rewarding adventure.

If you have eight or more people and you schedule with us at least 48 hours ahead of time, you qualify for our specialgroup rates. We'll provide you with the basic instruction you need to have a safe and rewarding group experience.

The Boiler Room is a great place for group experiences. Whether it's a birthday party, a youth group, a school group, your work colleagues, or just a bunch of friends, you're sure to have a good time. Teamwork, communication, trust, strategy, problem solving, challenge and most of all… FUN. Climbing is a highly interactive and social activity that helps people of all ages build confidence in themselves and others in their group.

If the participants in your group are age 14 or older, they're eligible to take our Basic Safety Training Lesson. We'll teach them how to tie the safety knots, how to manage the safety ropes (called "belaying"), and basic climbing technique.

If the participants in your group are younger than 14, we ask that you bring at least one adult (or person over the age of 14) for every 4 climbers in your group. We'll teach the adults proper safety and belaying technique: how to tie the knots and manage the safety ropes. There is no charge for those who are belaying only and not climbing, however, the number of belayers cannot exceed the number of paying climbers.

Booking Your Group
All first time visitors to the gym (climbers and belayers) under the age of 18 must have a Consent Form signed by their parent or legal guardian. You can download a copy of our Consent Form by clicking here.

To book your group, phone the gym at 549-0520. If you get the answering machine, leave us your name and number and we'll get back to you within 24 hours.

Ahh I see, you just give one box a ton of IPs. Thanks :)
Thanks for the link, I see what you mean about costly.

Perhaps a way to hack-fix this is to set a parameter for maxRecursion, to prevent the errors - seems like a pretty solid way of preventing endless loops (RangeErrors) but is probably something that should be off-by-default and switched on globally via a setting or once via a parameter...

I can add it and submit a pull-request for your consideration if you like?

If your traffic is 20 visits per day, why on Earth would you need to spend money on "better servers"?

To answer your question directly, I don't think enough beer consumers care about that stuff.
Another group does it directly from fMRI:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20460157

Among the caveats: really high-T magnet, not feasible for general use; the visual stimulus was actually a warped version that would be reproduced as the nicely shaped activation upon retinotopic projection (it's a log-polar mapping)... Still really cool.

Combating drugs is not just about a perfect moral vision of society. Getting rid of meth, for example, would be a big aid to society. (As best I understand it)

If there is a problem with drug laws and enforcement, I would hazard that it is with classification of certain drugs and the incentives for pursuing different classifications. For example, as best I understand, marijuanna does not have nearly the negative social consequences of meth, yet marijuanna was schedule I for a time and meth is schedule II.
Especially as storage becomes cheaper and cheaper. I think if something were to happen to Facebook we would see a GeoCities like effort and everything you posted publicly would be backed up.
Thanks. I just signed up and I'll give it a try. You might want to check out the Open Beer Database: http://openbeerdb.com/ - I just got ahold of the guy yesterday and we are discussing exchanging databases, it might be worth it for you to check it out too.

If I ever do decide to give up I'll get in touch with you, but I've gotten some great feedback (even a direct email from someone) and it sounds like it's worth pursuing.

I really like the graphic design on your web site - very simple - something I know I need to work on. I like the idea of a really simple rating system, that's what I've done too. I think most beer drinkers see the big sites like beeradvocate as too snobby (I know I do).

Thanks again for the feedback.
Have any of you seen any benefit from using a Creative Commons license for your writing? Has anyone seen anything positive come out of it?

The licenses seem to appeal to our more idealistic side, valuing openness, transparency, and all that great free-as-in-speech stuff that so many hackers love. But if the end result is just a bunch of books and websites where the publisher doesn't have to pay the author then Creative Commons licensing is a pointless exercise.
In absolute numbers - wow, that's impressive.

It was several years ago, but I've done my share of high-concurrency stuff under Linux and the highest I got to was about 200K connections - at which point the single-threaded server bottlenecked at its disk I/O.

The main issue is not the actual connection count, it's what the per-socket OS overhead is (so not exhaust non-swappable kernel memory), how many sockets are concurrently active (have an inbound or outbound data queued) and if the application can handle all the events that epoll/kqueue report. This is not a rocket science by any means, and the kernel is relatively easy to fine-tune even when the actual load is present.
The WhatsApp guys are very sharp ex-Yahoo guys who've had tremendous experience with scaling systems. Rick Reed is fairly legendary. Yahoo was a long time FreeBSD shop, so it's not surprising they went with that.

I hope they publish how they did it - in fact let me drop them an email and see if I can convince them to do so.

No, the pair uses the client IP which means the client can have as many connections to your server as number of ephemeral ports allowed. There is no limit on connections except ram AFAIK.
Actually, the quintet of [protocol, src_ip, src_port, dst_ip, dst_port] is what's unique (protocol being TCP or UDP)
It's exactly a distance thing. Close friends and family that want to see you. It's like going over to a friends house and hanging out. You don't have to pay attention all the time, but it's nice to see facial expressions and such. You don't clip your nails for the entire conversation either, and you can stop and go within the conversation. Eventually video calls can take as much attention as an audio only call, and you can look at the person when you want to.
You're both right. While it is true that for the hardware business, HP's stability is surely good enough. On the other hand, when it comes to enterprise contracts, stability matters a lot more.

I have at least some first-hand evidence to this fact. $DAYJOB is currently at a large enterprise service provider. We are currently buying HP switches like crazy, and I don't expect that to change. I've also been privy to some aspects of the sales process. We can go through the sales song and dance forever and ever, going deeper and deeper in to technical and business details. However, when the prospect asks about company stability, size, and governance, this always signifies they are about to ask for a formal contract.

In other words, for big, enterprise customers, stability matters. It's impossible to tell what sort of effect this will have on HP. Maybe none. But these sorts of subtle changes to reputation have a funny trajectory of their own, independent of the instantaneous news cycle. I wouldn't be surprised if IBM et al. started using the shake-up to their advantage during the sales process. We very well might see some of the after-effects in the next six months.

The way HP handles this transition will be critical. If the board looks like they are floundering, I think they will be toast. If they can keep up the appearance of running a tight ship, they'll be alright.
I'm using it too. loving it!
cool link. but i'm curious to see it in "production" enviromments!
The server generally only ever uses one port, no matter how many clients are connected. It is the tuple of (client IP, client port, server IP, server port) that must be unique for each TCP connection - so the limit of 65535 ports is only relevant for how many connections a single client can make to a single server.
It's possible someone from Amazon, G.E., or Oracle would meet those criteria.

The big thing HP was (is) lacking is a leader with experience manufacturing physical products. Putting that in place would settle some of the fears of procurement managers the world over (and maybe settle the stock market too). These aren't the only companies with experience, but it's one place to look.

However, were I on the search committee, I'd look internally first. A junior executive who knows the company might already have the respect of the employees.

Given carte blanche, I'd remove the Board and most of the senior staff.
I work for Cheezburger Network. We use them a lot via lots of if(FeatureFlag.IsEnabled("foo")){ /* Show the feature! */ }. They're easy to see if you can remove the conditional. You just check if the feature is enabled in production and if it is and it's been there awhile delete the flag. And yes we do feature flags in both Javascript and C# side.

The Music Producers are keen to use the internet to increase the sale of their music albums. For a successful music album the first requirement is that the topic of the song should be catchy and trendy so that it attracts maximum number of audience. There are popular media sites like Facebook.
Thanks for being honest. Obviously I don't need better servers right now, but someday maybe.

I disagree though - the stats show that beer sales from the huge companies are declining, while craft brewing is seeing a huge explosion (in the US anyway). I think it is a rapidly growing audience. It'll never be the size of Facebook's potential audience, but I do see tons of opportunity in the craft brewing industry, and many craft beer drinkers closely align with the high tech, early adopter startup crowd.
what's interesting is what a need there was in the market for such a project. just a good looking set of defaults that hackers can start using and make things look good. i think this thing will blow up if they add some mobile components too. getskeleton.com or cssgrid.net etc.
If everything happens as Mark Zuckerberg envisioned with this timeline then they have to make sure that they save all the information to last thousands if years. If our civilization ends one day and archaeologist from the future discovered Facebook's servers preserved it will tell them everything they need to know about us as a people. How we lived our lives, our dreams, our aspirations, the challenges we overcame. Just imagine if the Romans had this 2,000 years ago, we will see post like "Today I almost died fighting this gladiator from Gaul, good thing he got jumped by that lion first!" I wonder how many likes that post would have made, of course it would be in Latin.....LOL
The last discussion of Twitter Bootstrap seemed to end pretty ambiguously.

Is Twitter Bootstrap what everyone should be using to make their MVP when they don't have a designer? Or is it sufficiently non-cross-platform compatible and specific to Twitter's requirements (no jQuery/jQuery UI?) that one should just use another admin theme from Theme Forest?

(Also, Blekko somehow supports grep on its dataset, but doesn't support it without voting? Is this a social mechanism, or does their infrastructure actually work in a way that this is an expensive operation?!)
Don't bash the Libertarians for choosing a party. You might want to bash them for other things that you don't agree with. If I was living in the US, I'd probably vote mostly Republican, too. Gotta choose the smaller evil.

But honestly, a binary choice is just no way to express political opinion: Why should my views on abortion correlated with my views on free trade?

At least getting a multi-party system would be worth a try.
Maybe I'm just naive, but whenever someone says "systems language", I think "ooh, something better to write kernels in?" I guess I'm waiting for something semantically equivalent to C, but with better options for macros and code generation, and some compile-time guarantees. Just less tedium, more DRY.

I don't actually program C, I just have projects in mind where it seems like that's the best language, where performance and compatibility with other languages is important. But C seems like such a pain to program in that I really wish there was a better option.

If it's really something you're in love with, just do it. Lie to yourself and pretend that you're just building it for your own use, then when you can't stop yourself from grabbing people on the street and telling them how great it is, release it to the world.

If you're not that excited about it, then build the thing you're really excited about. If it's the most exciting thing you can think of right now, start building it for the learning experience, and jump ship when you think of something better.

Seriously. I challenge you to write 100 lines of code tonight.

No, in point of fact, I said the opposite. It is a shame that HN has become a place where people don't bother to understand the point someone is making, lie about them, and then the person gets down voted to negative territory when they try to defend themselves.

Not a single response to my comment has been on the actual topic of this submission. Most of them have been frankly, dishonest, and the only thing I'm concluding from this is that this site is inhabited by people who are such financial neophytes that they think there's such a thing as a "riskless transaction".

So, no, you don't get to assert that I assumed something and then call me a liar when I point out that I didn't say it, especially in the face of me pointing out the difference between leverage investments or margin investments and arbitrage in the original comment, which is proof positive that I didn't say they were the same.

Or, well, you can do that, but you force me to conclude that this is not a place where intelligent discussion can take place.
Rust has an unsafe sublanguage you'll probably be interested in.

That said, writing kernels is explicitly not a goal of Rust. It may well work great with a custom bare-metal runtime, but we aren't letting the needs of OS kernels constrain our design space at this time.

Got a question? Call our CEO's cell phone - seriously.
Wow, and he's extremely reserved about the whole thing - usually he's like a cold shower, raining on the press's parade. I like the SN1987A counter-example, though - it does raise a few questions. Not even remotely conclusive, but it makes it more puzzling.
Quit it with this codger pissing his diaper routine. I know blindly following the law is seeming more important as you get old but the "crime" consisted of sending malformed data and it caused games to go offline. Get over it.

It's time to require Sony to run their business properly instead of investigating children as if they were mobsters. I swear, some people are retarded.
So instead of sharing data with your friends, family and a corporation you just want to share it with a corporation? Someone already has your online data the only difference is who that someone is. That someone can still choose to sell your data on to anyone who will buy it in most countries.
The data cite people http://datacite.org/ are trying to figure out how to create "data papers" and "data journals" that would let publishing data get a "peer-review" status that would help people advance towards tenure.
This isn't blindly following the law. So someone hacks your site and we praise the hacker and condemn you? Someone breaks the lock to your front door and we applaud the burgler and make fun of your lock? Get real. I'm sick of this attitude. Just because I understand right from wrong doesn't make me some kind of lackey for the law dogs. People with your attitude convey the wrong message. You don't like Sony, I get it. But you think it's OK to hack people and destroy property as long is it's against someone you don't like and that is not OK.

At work we use to use feature flags a fair bit, but switched to using branches instead for development.

For our testing environment, we can access individual branches as subdomains to a testing environment.

This lets the in-progress code be separate from the mainline trunk, while also letting other people easily check out a new feature in a testing environment.

Only once or twice have we used 'feature flags' for trunk code; basically when the feature was ready to go, but may not wish to be activated until the last minute etc.

I can definitely see the advantage though of having feature flags for very high volume environments like Facebook to 'soft launch' projects (eg, to just staff) before making it live.

It's important though for code maintenance that you remove the feature flags after a while (once a project has settled in and won't be turned off), otherwise it can start to become a maintenance problem.
You know the phrase "throw the book at him" and the idea of justice are not identical right? "Throwing the book" is about finding and (over)zealously prosecuting (with much fanfare) for every possible offense, no matter how loosely associated to the actions that offense may be. Justice is about fairly metting out punishment and consequences for actions. The very act of throwing the book at one person for a wrong and ignoring the wrongs of another is antithetical to justice. This was my point.

I never said Recursion was right in his actions, nor did I say he should not be punished. In fact, I'm pretty sure I lost a lot of respect for lulzsec over this one, when they stopped focusing on those they claimed were the problem and caused "collateral damage", and think there should be consequences for that.

Further, whether you agree with the message or not, this type of loud targeting of everyone that doesn't belong to the club, while not mentioning the faults of the big players, is what lulzsec was claiming to be fighting against. Throwing the book puts a certain amount of weight into those statements, no? Simply arresting and prosecuting without all the hoopla and moving on would seem far more effective if you were really against all the "hippy tech youth crap".

NOTE: cut it with the absurd name calling. This is not grade-school, if you don't like my position state your disagreements.

They need to sell/provide an annual "yearbook" via shutterfly or some service automatically. Say $50 per year and you get a physical book with all your timeline info and experiences each year. with a fold out tab/page at the beginning and end so you can physically connect the books together side-by-side each year to flip through. As well as a DVD.
You responded to someone attacking me for mentioning gold with "not only that, he..." EG: You agreed with him.

My original reply did account for the transaction fees in "pay no interest loans". I didn't use the same figure you did, but to pretend like I ignored it is wrong. If you had read my post, you would notice that I said that a "safe investment" like a CD would not give you a sufficient return at current CD rates, and so I talked about a hypothetical %6 CD.

Your original reply came as piling on, and since you didn't (and still haven't) recognized that I had addressed the issue you're bringing up, there's no way to distinguish you form the others who are jumping in and telling falsehoods about me based on their own financial ignorance.

I am quite dismayed that nobody has responded on the original point-- using arbitrage to finance your startup-- and instead people are trying to score points by attacking me as if this were reddit.

I'm already pretty hesitant to post to this site due to an expectation that I won't useful discussion in response. This is just convincing me more of it.... so, if you do enjoy reading my HN posts, know that I try my best when posting to avoid stepping on any of the land mines that will result in people attacking me, and I post as if I'm walking on eggshells. I thought that mentioning gold might be tolerated here, but I was wrong.
You are correct. Not as good + niche = death
A mobile Twitter bootstrap would be a killer feature!
Also, i had never worked with LESS before, and i'm loving it!
I highly doubt he breathed as much into "throw the book at him" as you have to defend your position. My name-calling is not absurd. What is absurd is your opinion on this matter. You're part of a vocal minority that doesn't care if someone commits a crime if it satisfies your personal anti-corporate agenda.

If I had taken the possessions of thousands of people, and promised to keep them safe in my house, and then a burglar broke in and stole everything.

I deserve to be condemned.

sure, the burglar should be punished for the simple crime of theft that he committed.

but I took the possessions of thousands of people and failed to make them secure, despite promising to do so.

Especially if I took all those possessions and then used a 5 dollar lock from the local shop, instead of investing in something that may actually make secure the possessions I promised to keep safe.
