It's an interesting use of an overlay network but the title of this post is misleading.

This is the failover of a private IP behind a virtual network gateway. The failover happens at layer 2 using the same gratuitous ARP you might send to a local switch but over a virtual network. The resulting network has properties that might be interesting to a private network service (especially one that cannot easily be proxied) but less so for public-facing services.

If your application speaks HTTP, a health-checking proxy server like haproxy on the gateway could perform the same service.

If your application is used by the public internet, your gateway machine(s) and network(s) between the gateway and application become the weak links. The traditional fallback would be low-TTL DNS.
Wow, looks just like the one we made for Ducksboard :)

Props for open-sourcing it!
By any normal mode of thought it's annoying as hell. I hope it's solved quickly.
This is awesome. Beautiful examples make such a difference. However, every time I try to buy it for $10, PayPal checkout says it'll cost $1.
Interesting that none of the recipients will be actual projects that Red Hat is built upon. No donation to the Linux Kernel, nothing to Gnome, nothing to GNU at all, etc. I think that some people might be upset about that but I view it as extremely forward thinking. These other Free Software supporting organizations provide support to the community in ways that are much more difficult to quantify than simply lines of code. Without them the "free/libre" community would have a much harder time being taken seriously.
I'm honestly little surprised about the popularity of Windows. In webdev circles, I rarely see developers using it anymore (as a primary OS).
It's an interesting idea at least that will have no problem finding customers, and you seem to understand the problems.

My only strong suggestion is to only take on 3-4 of these projects before completing them 100%, then doing a complete retrospective assessment of how it went. Keep everyone else in a queue. Do not accept money from everyone.

Maybe you'll hit a formula for "local business news feed & map view to locations for $99" where you can put out these apps in 1/2 an hour instead of 4.
One is not more simple than the other. People complain just because the behavior is different from Windows, which is what they are used to.
In Brazil, you can submit your tax return forms using applications that run on Windows, Linux and Macs. They probably run on anything with a J2SE runtime.
Thanks, it's obvious that those characters are available. It wasn't talking about that. They aren't demonstrated. For someone telling me to "read the site", you didn't actually read my comment that carefully.
I would say I'd be willing to pay up to $20

Indeed, I read on TheVerge.com (I think?) some time ago about a guy who's completely self-sufficient and made upwards of $20k just selling themes on ThemeForrest for $10/download

Isn't the issue, then, that you shouldn't be put in jail for such offences, rather than making arguments concerning strip searching?
Yeah, seeing Polls submitted under various accounts and at least one person losing karma points makes me wonder if that's likely too. If it's done, we'd be able to appeal because it wasn't done for legitimate cause by those with the power at HN.
The main problem with your argument is that it applies just as much to old ways of making shoes with lots of heel support as it does to running without any shoes at all.
Is there a way to return to "normal mode" in the home screen after being in "edit mode" (moving, grouping, removing) that does not involve pressing the physical button? I seemed to have tried all "obvious" attempts of doing so with no success.
The only (real) barrier to entry to daily-deal sites is sales. Set up Magento and you now have a daily deal site.

I'd like to play around with the HN source, does anyone know where an updated repo lives?
SPU debugging has been available since at least 2007 going by archived email conversations I have on the topic, and I recall it working even before that.

Sony's tools stopped being annoying around 2007 and have been excellent the last few years. In some ways they surpass what's available on the Xbox 360 -- Tuner and GPAD are more flexible than PIX and the debugger isn't tied to the massive anchor that is Visual Studio.
I was honestly expecting much much more. Yahoo has talent, and YUI was the best library out there when it was new.

The title is misleading; IANAL, but according to the article text, the Supreme Court approved that officials can search people before putting them into prison, only for offences that can put you into prison! I'm quite astonished that this wasn't the case already, i.e. they take your freedom, but they don't check what you're carrying with you?!?

No, that's oversimplified. Yes, all public corporations seek profit by definition. But to claim that there isn't a significant cultural determiner for the ways they do that is silly. ExxonMobil and ADM don't sell packaged consumer products and probably never will. IBM does a ton of IT contract business, where Nestle and Apple do none.

And, specific to this point: Google doesn't chase unit sales, they've made their business in advertising, chasing eyeballs and traffic. Apple sells hardware, and broadly wants to sell more hardware.
I used to be the Editor In Chief of the OS/2 e-Zine! (http://www.os2ezine.com), although I began as just a contributor. The e-Zine was started by Trevor Smith, who slowly handed over more responsibilities until eventually retiring to do other things.

I have fond memories of that era, and of constantly working to keep your chin up as IBM's support grew more and more reluctant. Probably the most important lesson I walked away with was understanding how deep the roots of zealotry can go, how something as cosmically unimportant as an operating system can get woven into a person's identity until the two are indistinguishable.
The problem with this comment is that it assumes I have a horse in this race too. I think maybe you'd have been better off posting a comment on the root of the thread rather than attaching it to mine.

Signals are one of the most dangerous features of POSIX, but this guide is awesome. I used this resource while writing the Redis 2.6 "Software Watchdog" feature (documented at the end of this page: http://redis.io/topics/latency). Cool that it was posted here just a few days later.

"Past generations did(n't do) foo for a very long time and it seemed to work out" is a fully general argument against any and all change in society, ranging from Facebook to desegregation to bikinis. "Social conservative" is meant literally as in "opposed to social change", not to refer to any particular political movement. It's not a political statement or a dismissal; at most it identifies a fallacy by pointing out that the same reasoning would justify slavery.
> It’s only seldom that I use the Wayback Machine and if the content I’m looking for would not be there, it would be no big deal for me.

Depends on what sorts of thing you and me look for on the web, I suppose then.

I use the Wayback Machine regularly, and what I need from it is usually quite valuable (to me), if I could not have found it anywhere else.

Only yesterday I was wandering along information about symmetry groups and tilings of the plane, so you come across the Geometry Junkyard[1] ... dead links all over the place as soon as you take more than a few steps! A lot of those are old university home pages, the ones with ~s in them. If the person doesn't work there anymore, they often rot, and the information doesn't always get transferred to the next site or blog. I know I'm guilty of the same, quite a few ancient old sites floating about that I never bothered collecting under one domain. I know the IA has got them though :)

For me it's because they're so often used in an exploitative way. I'll use gaming again as my example. Look at Farmville, or what seems like the majority of mobile games lately. It's so common to see "Pay $2 for mojo points" or whatever their pretend currency may be, and used to sell virtual items. Now that in itself isn't evil, but these items are often things to make the game less "grindy", and so developers are encouraged to add grind in the first place to maximize profit. The developer isn't focusing on making the best possible experience for the player anymore.

That's true mostly with Farmville (buy a tractor to double your harvest speed), but other games take this on as well too. Another example: Companies want to sell over-priced map packs and such, and so will stop the modding communities from creating their own content. If there aren't user submitted maps the company can sell their own for far more.

I used games as an example because it's the easiest for me to come up with examples, but I think this extends into other mediums as well. To me, micropayments change the focus of the publisher of that medium to look for profit where they didn't before, and that creates a worse product.

This is a very loose idea I've had in my head for a while and I haven't put it all together like this before, I'm certainly not an expert on business models or anything like that. This post is purely conjecture on my part.
That's a good point that can support both your position - and the gp.

I'm totally with you regarding tipping. Coming from DE this is something you're doing voluntarily, for good service and as much as you like. It's a 'well done' or 'thank you'.

Now I'm in IL and here it is - for all intents and purposes - mandatory. The bill says 'SERVICE NOT INCLUDED' (yes, often in caps. Some waiters like to make sure that foreigners 'get it' by saying it again once or twice or using a marker to make it even more prominent on the bill). You are expected to give a tip of 10%. Service is shitty, food was crap? If you don't give the tip, people might come after you and discuss it.

Since I loathe that custom I could understand if the gp has a similar mindset, feeling _forced_ to pay up.
Yes, this. I just watched the Lustig YouTube lecture and then read Aragon's rebuttal. Aragon is arguing either with things Lustig didn't say or with small bits taken out of context.

In particular, Aragon doesn't seem to get the difference between a lecture and an academic paper. One can't edit a lecture, so you have to give the speaker a little leeway. Aragon also can't seem to tell the difference between a rhetorical flourish and a claim of absolute fact. Disappointing!
The low ratio of paragraphs to ads, piss-poor 'journalist' bloggers, poor pagination decisions, and the sell out of the mass media certainly hasn't helped.
It's a simple abstraction around filtering objects in a collection by an id. Your collection must be already fetched.
It's backwards. HTTP is the weaker of the two transports, though tried and true. Mongrel2 can used to proxy HTTP to ZMQ nicely.

Check these slides for an overview of all the things ZMQ can do: http://j2labs.tumblr.com/post/5036176531/zeromq-super-socket...

Even load balancing is included, which means you run less services too.
I wouldn't exactly say the title is misleading, because it still is an address failover between cloud networks. But your points about the public addresses is of course correct.

The key application here is for those who wish to establish hybrid clouds, want to "cloud burst" their enterprise capabilities, or - as the opening sentence of the article explains - about "[organizations] moving part of [their] network and server infrastructure into the cloud".

And especially for those internal enterprise applications, running an HTTP proxy is not always possible.
This looks neat! But obvious question, how does this compare to the Backbone-relational library? One useful feature in Backbone-relational is the includeInJSON option, which can be used to either include/ignore or select a single attribute from the related model to be included in the toJSON output of the parent model. Would you have to manually do that here?
That's how I do it, it works great that way. I didn't actually set up the gh-pages as a proper submodule, I just cloned the branch to a folder. Then I added the gh-pages folder to the top level .gitignore.
Luck and a fantastic recruiter. In two years I went from doing freelance work online while working in retail to being a low level employee at a startup to being the only local programmer at that same startup to working at a company that really needed my skill-set (mobile development). The recruiter kicked in for the last one, everything else I looked for myself.

Are you asking for your own rates or are you letting other people decide for you? At my previous company I saw a guy exactly our age get hired without any recruiter or anything and the amount of money he asked for was so low it was embarrassing, we hired him quickly due to how much he asked but honestly with his experience and knowledge he should've been paid much closer to what I got rather than we he asked for, but he was young so he didn't dare ask for something fair.

Don't undervalue yourself.
I was driving my car two weeks ago, when I was pulled over for failure to pay a ticket (the officer and their db was in error.) That night before heading out on the road, I shoved some rock cocaine in a balloon up my ass, so I was okay with going to jail because I could make some money. I was thrown into the hoosegow, (I'd asked for the clink) but not until I was strip searched.

Last week, the cops came by for failure to pay child support (I had paid, in fact it's automatically deducted but my ex was playing games again.) As I saw the black and white pull up to the curb, I quickly shoved some spoons up my ass, damn, cops found those during the strip search.

Last night, my dog and I were playing in the park when I saw some cops wander by, yep, I got nabbed for walking the dog off the leash. Luckily before going out with the dog I had shoved a cell phone up my ass, but damn, the cops found that too.

Some potential examples cited by dissenting judges in the lower courts and by Justice Breyer on Monday included violating a leash law, driving without a license and failing to pay child support.
I agree that IaaS can be done much better. The networking and storage that's available is terrible; it's worse than ESX 1.5.

In the EC2/OpenStack model, you cannot have customers spool up VMs with arbitrary specs; they must choose from available flavors.

Are you talking about sizes? If you allow arbitrary sizes or CPU:RAM ratios you'll get fragmentation which you have to recoup by charging higher prices. If VMs are 1/2^Nth of a server, you can use a buddy allocator.
Did Office 2003 get the ODF plugin pushed to it over Windows Update? It's on the oldish side, but there are still a lot of people using it.

I remember Office 2007's ODT support being rather poor, too. Most documents I tried to put through it only came through with minimal formatting preserved.

Why You Don't Want Apple To Make A TV
The 595s, 600s and 650s are all great. Personally I'd go with a 600 or 650 bought used off another head-fi member who happen to be the first user. Both can be had used in like new condition for around $300. Keep an eye on the for sale forums there. The market for them is pretty liquid and it shouldn't take more than a week to find one in great condition.

Both the sennheisers and the DT880 benefit from an amplifier. A decent small desktop amplifier can be had for $150-200. Go ahead and buy the amp used on head-fi. They don't really depreciate in value with use like headphones and can be sold later for the same price.

An awesome headphone rig with used components can be had for about $500 total ($300 on the headphones and $200 on the amp). Beyond that point it really is subject to diminishing returns and gets highly subjective and bikesheddy. This is coming from someone that sold his Grados and AKG for more than $3000 for both. As I said, I now just have IEMs, but when I buy another headphone again, my plan is to get the HD-650s used from a first owner or if I'm feeling particularly giddy and very flush with cash maybe the HD-800 used from a first owner that can be had for a $1000 if you keep your eyes peeled for them. Either way, I intend it to be my last headphone purchase, because it's easy to get caught up in the equipment and forget about the music.

Also, I wouldn't mix with any closed headphones, metal or otherwise, except maybe those two top of line sony models that are both discontinued. I never mixed myself, but everyone I know who did stuck with open headphones in a quiet room or studio monitors for serious audio work.

This is exactly what happens on a daily basis. If you post something that is against the beliefs of the masses of HN (even when it's not a troll), you will get flagged and down voted.

The result will be a homogeneous community. I know I will leave eventually because of this. The same thing has happened to the main Reddit.
Considering the none of the top posts on the Trending Pastes page contains any source code, I'd say the site has drifted from it's original mission of "The website is mainly used by programmers to store pieces of sources code or configuration information"

However they state everyone is welcome to post any text, so they aren't discriminating. Users are just mainly using their service for a different purpose than they intended.
I wonder how often something similar to this scenario has happened when new Linux users have to wait a long time for their system to finish fscking on every 30 reboots, and asking how to skip it or keep it from happening gets responses along the lines of "ura luser", "lol you turn off your computer?", and "xyz has been banned from #linux (go back to Windows)".
Anyone else cringe when they referred to HTML and CSS as programming languages?

Other than that, great to see a potential replacement for W3Schools.

It applies to general population of a jail too.

Let's say you are arrested in NYC. You can be taken to a holding cell at a local precinct. Then you are shuttled to downtown, to a holding cell in the court building. You go from being one person in a precinct cell to going into the "general population" of other people waiting to see a judge. Before being put in that larger holding cell, you will be subjected to a strip search now thanks to the Supreme Court. And if your offense is something as minor as not cleaning up your dog's poop? Is that fair?
I see the point you are trying to make now, but I'd like to offer two points about why this revenue derived from the lawsuit might include ad revenue estimates:

1) I would imagine that regardless of whether it is in Google's interest to count ad revenues in their public reports of profitability, it is most certainly their internal metric for profitability. They simply must have some metric for deciding if the Android investment is effort is worth pursuing, or if certain Android strategies can be considered successful. Would Rubin's declaration that Android is profitable be true if he were only counting early access fees, and Nexsus sales, etc? I don't have the numbers, but I would doubt it.

2) The 3 to 1 profitability of iOS against Android seems to make some sense if you consider that iOS, as of October, commanded over 3x the mobile traffic share of Android. (see http://bit.ly/tHlYe6 )

You can board these precious airplanes by asking for a pat down (although discouraged?).

I'm clueless about the laws in the US. Can you go to jail for example if you pee in a park? Drive too fast? Are too drunk on the streets to find home? If any of these lead to a yes, do you think those people should be forced to strip in front of someone? Because they, obviously, are bad guys?
