Yes, but your iPad 3 is still a perfectly good device with few thorny, glaring, obvious omissions.

I think that's the point the statement is trying to make: that even just looking at the device there are enough things that are glaring omissions and misses that you will feel shortchanged when they're inevitably fixed in v2.

I feel the same way about the iPad mini. The lack of a retina display in this day and age feels like a very obvious miss, and you know they will fix this next year, which makes buying it now seem like a poor proposition.
Windows (NT) has been cross-platform from day one, so there wasn't any need to emulate anything. The kernel, Win32 and everything that ships by default with it ran on at least x86, x64 (Itanium), x86-64, DEC Alpha, PowerPC and others. So yes, it was likely ported (but I doubt there was significantly more effort than just rebuilding everything, given that the code shouldn't be that unportable to begin with).
Or you would identify the most likely underlying cause of the stereotype: that the games industry is an industry of love, just like fashion, music, theater or art.

That means that there is a much more abundant supply of labour and that the demand side is exploiting this by offering lower wages, worse working environment, crazier hours etc.

The main difference between fashion, music and art is that the discrepancy is much more poignant in the games industry because there's an abundant supply of well-paying cushy jobs just around the corner which involve almost the exact same skill-set to compare against.

Well you cant call it caching. By definition, that means data is written to both drives at the same time. In the case of Fusion Drive data is always read from and written to the SSD. It is basically a software which moves files around.
I think it's a nice political move, but I will be surprised if it makes much difference in the end.

It is impossible to demonstrate trustworthiness to someone who isn't willing to believe it.

Some issues which would get raised by your friends if they didn't want you to buy Huawei:

Firstly, you have the problem of underhanded code (e.g http://underhanded.xcott.com/) e.g. deniable backdoors. Auditing a large C codebase to the point where you have confidence in it is Expensive and Time Consuming.

Secondly, version control gets to be a huge problem. If you are going to rely on the results of your audit, now you have to build the firmware yourself with a trusted toolchain. This is going to be a lot of work. Especially since you now have to do this for every firmware release for every product you use. Most organisations aren't getting patching and release management right even as things stand right now.

Thirdly: do we need to look at the FPGAs, ASICs and "auxiliary" firmware? Are all the parts standard? Where were they fabbed? Can we trust those guys? Is the router we get next month going to be the same board revision, with parts from the same vendors?

Fourthly: how comfortable are the players in various countries going to be with a Chinese state-owned company having their detailed network designs for telcos and core networks? (I mean, pretending they don't already ;)

Paranoid hat mode: I do wonder whether the huge mistrust of Huawei is standard anti-competitiveness... or because everyone's agencies have been using {backdoors, bugs, info} provided by various companies and "friendly employees" for years - and buying Huawei kit just seems like it's making things too easy for certain parties.

totally, and support coverage when he needed it (noting he's in Australia so totally different timezone to WP Engine business hours) would have also saved the day.

I'm incredibly proud of the business the team has built, and know we are still an excellent place to host WordPress. But yes, incidents like this give us opportunity to revaluate aspects like our documentation (and support hours) to double down and make things even better one we resolve them.

No, he's basically brushing the OP and everyone in this thread off as being hatful and bitter, and not really worth interacting with. It's incredibly dismissive, especially since multiple people in this thread (myself included) have mentioned that they've had issues and are or were paying customers.

I'll grant you that "ridiculing" is probably not the right word...maybe dismissive or condescending would have been more accurate.

And yes, I do find it disgusting that he's publicly behaving this way towards a customer.
I just want to know, can I override its behavior so as to favor applications or directories I want better throughput with.

I was helping a friend debug something on WPEngine. We learned that the caching doesn't allow you to set cookies it would seem (from PHP). Had to do it all using JS instead. I thought I was going crazy trying to debug the code when it was definitely an issue with the way they cache.

Not saying it was right or wrong, it just wasn't a fun experience thinking I was going crazy. And hopefully if anyone else is trying SETCOOKIE() and it's not working they also realize they will have to use JS.
Food prep is by far the most time consuming and drudge heavy daily task, but it remains pretty much impossible to eat healthily if you don't cook daily. Short of paying a personal chef or landing a full time housewife there doesn't seem to be a solution. Restaurants and prepared food just don't have the economic incentive to use high quality ingredients.

Google AdWords Can Now Track iOS App Downloads
"Google announced today that marketers and advertisers promoting iOS applications can now monitor conversions – meaning app downloads – using Google’s AdWords. (...) However, there is a caveat: Google says that for iOS applications, it’s only able to track downloads driven by ads served within mobile apps – it can’t track iOS app downloads that originate from ad on Google Search or its Google Display network. That limits the level of insight Google can provide into the Apple ecosystem, but at least it’s a step in the right direction in terms of understanding which campaigns are most effective."
I tend to agree, but sometimes 140 characters come across as too emotionally charged, so imagine two words. Hence, "WPEngine sucks", which seems a bit harsh. Several recent articles could be summarized as "Founders dumb", "VC stupid", "SV sucks".
Worth interjecting a counterpoint here, I think.

I've been running a site about the same size as the OP's (500k-ish visitors a month) with WPEngine for nearly a year now, and so far I'm very impressed. It's smoother and faster than it was before, we've only had one outage of more than an hour (and they responded by crediting me with a full month's hosting!), and I've found their support to be absolutely top-notch.

I wrote a review of their service after a month - which I don't think I ever submitted to HN, d'oh - and all the points I make in it still stand: http://www.mmomeltingpot.com/2012/03/wpengine-review-after-1... . My key point there, which I stand by, was that moving to WPEngine saved me money over an apparently cheaper self-hosted solution, because I no longer had to spend 2-3 days a month faffing around with server problems. (I believe Patio11 had a similar experience.)

(Note - there's an affiliate link in there, because I find that with money I can buy goods and services, but I added that after writing the review.)

Just recently I've had an extremely helpful dialog with one of their support engineers which ended up troubleshooting a problem I didn't even know my blog had - which subsequently boosted my available ad inventory by about 25%.

Overall, WPEngine aren't perfect - and I'm still checking out other options from time to time - but I've found their support and general solid hosting more than worth the admittedly pretty significant cost.

>As a seasoned WordPress developer

You realize that puts your credibility in the negatives right? Wordpress is infamous for being one of the worst pieces of software ever created. The fact that your software is terrible does not mean a company whose sole purpose is to be experts at making that terrible software run is doing good by failing to make it run.
I see a flaw in your flaw.

1st) small chance that spying features are implemented that a paranoid analyzing by US officials wouldn't have revealed* (or that the US would have said the products are good, while still having reasonable concerns about potential spying)

2nd) i don't know how they would give their source code to government officials but i guess it's fair to assume that it can be done in private and trusting nature (also they probably are able to test if a piece of hardware runs the code given or not)

3rd) risk of secretive spying features being found is high * * (even if you want to argue it might be lower than described by myself above -> see 1st), therefore generally would lead to one of the biggest company scandals in the 21st history and completely destroy all of Huawei's business in all of the Western World (not worth it)

* somebody shall correct me if i might be wrong, but wouldn't it be pretty hard to hide spyware in software being used worldwide by millions of users and that is center of attention by governments for a long time

* * think of the amount of Huawei contractors, the sheer quantity of their sales

That doesn't make much sense. There are key lengths for which RSA is strong, and key lengths for which ECC is weak.

ECC keys may be stronger at shorter lengths, but that hardly means that key length isn't the problem. After all, using a longer key would fix this problem.
Why do people always insist on being the devil's advocate on HN? Suppose you went to the supermarket to try and return some spoiled food, and they deny you so you give them a bad Yelp review. A harsh one even.

Would you consider it reasonable to be the subject of the manager's tweet, or open letter or any other kind of public message calling you someone who cannot be pleased, who has an agenda against the store, is disposed toward bitterness, and is communicating destructively.

How is that not disrespectful?

If you don't make money, doesn't that make you a non-profit? If you do make money, then you're either a startup or an established business. I don't know what a "hacker" is in your context? Why does a "hacker" need mass deployment and rolling restarts, while the feature is not worth 249 for him?
That's why we still need local storage.
Are you seriously suggesting that as long as anyone has been working on something for years, that we should accept what he says without looking at it in a critical way? The enlightenment must have passed you by.
The other way around. From Wikipedia:

Assuming the attacker has access to your password store is NOT a big assumption for most sites. In fact, 94% of data breaches are to the user DB. And 42% of those attacks are targeting the password store specifically. Check out the Verizon Data Breach Report for details. http://bit.ly/GFfpdk
the users should then be 10% of your concern, since they aren't the ones buying the product. What the restaurant wants should be the focus. Satisfy their needs and you'll satisfy their customers as well, since they just want to make their customers happy in the end.

Street View and Beyond: Google's Influence on Photography
This is great. I've been keeping an eye on the meta markets blog for entries about Druid because we've been doing something similar and it's always useful to see how other folk are solving a shared problem.

Regarding what's on github: a lot more documentation / examples would make working out how to use it a lot easier.
I think the problem here specifically is mod-mono and the fastcgi server (basically the xsp-derived glue). I've seen a number of people complain about memory leaks and instability and having to restart apache. It's not readily reproducible but it's enough to make people too nervous to deploy.

Those sub-projects appear to be unmaintained and queries about their status on the mailing list go unanswered. Without some solid info there, it unfortunately makes the open source MVC stuff rather moot.

I concluded (perhaps wrongly?) that web wasn't a priority for mono and chose another technology for that part. On the other hand, mono makes a great socket server stack, and I still use it extensively there.
There was also this very elaborate easter egg in a promotional video of the first chromebook that someone cracked which got him a chromebook, I can't find it right now though

What doesn't make sense about it?

I can see a lot of scenarios where you start with a CMS because it does a good job of doing what you need. Why reinvent the wheel?

Scaling issues is going to occur in all code, even code you write and know inside and out. It just means you become entirely responsible for debugging and re-architecting to improve its performance.

@Drupal specific comment, you could easily throw nginx as a reverse proxy with a cache in front if everything is static and be done with it.
It doesn't have to be "spyware" per se. It just has to be a bug or problem that you (and your friends) know about that your customer doesn't.
In practical terms last week if you wanted a Flash+HDD solution from apple it cost about $500 to add a 256GB flash drive and 1GB hard disk (I can't remember exactly, and anyway I'm more familiar with UK prices). Now you can get a fusion drive for $250.

They're not directly comparable technically, but I'm in the market for a 27" iMac. The cost of the optimum available spec for me just went down and the convenience went up, so I'm a happy camper.
I love the UI (as I expected) but I feel like the market for these types of multi-player apps is waning.

stand before thee, until thou have destroyed them.

7:25 The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou
shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it unto
thee, lest thou be snared therin: for it is an abomination to the LORD
thy God.

7:26 Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest
thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and
thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing.

8:1 All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye
observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess
the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers.

8:2 And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led
thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove
thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his
commandments, or no.

The things I want to automate are expensive to do so. I'm talking about things like the dishes and the laundry and commuting. I have a house cleaner that comes periodically, but I'd be spending a lot more (and have a lot more intrusion on my privacy) if it were daily / nightly.

The automated driving component might work. Maybe if I lease a black hybrid, have the driver be my employee, and let him do uber on off hours, it could actually net money. But setting this up sounds complicated. If only I could automate it.
