Focusing on the CRIME attack people are trying to prevent, TLS compression works for the entire session and will thus include the HTTP headers which are out of band from HTTP transfer encoding. That's how CRIME works: if an attacker can use something like JavaScript to make a request in your browser with some text which they control and can observe the packet sizes, they can measure whether the entire message compressed more than expected, indicating that some bytes are shared between the browser-generated headers and their injected contents. Repeat enough times and you can recover cookies byte by byte. See http://www.imperialviolet.org/2012/09/21/crime.html for the full details.

The good news is that Content-Encoding avoids the attack; the bad news is that it means we're missing the opportunity to avoid transmitting a significant chunk of repetitive text.

Two slightly on/off-topic rants about public washrooms:

First, the one thing I don't like with the normal AirBlade is the tendency for the water to drip off your hands, onto it, and then to pool below it on the floor. Not much water, mind you, but enough to make both the floor and the plastic onto which the water first drips a bit nasty (in some places). This might just be a cleaning issue in said places, though.

Second, the one mistake I hate seeing washrooms make is to have a tiny faucet where, in order to get your hands properly wet, your hands are almost forced to run into / touch the back of the sink.
I thought that "young" NoSQLs sometime in will got SQL interface.

Look at old NoSQLs: Intersystems Cache got SQL interface, GT.M (in PIP-framework) also got SQL.

My impression that MongoDB looks a lot like MUMPS storage with globals in JSON.
OK, but still that doesn't change the equation. 22 secs washing and 8 secs drying is still 30 secs in total, whether it's done separately or not. And as you mentioned, the number of sinks and the number of dryers are balanced, so they combined have a similar throughput. I think you see sink lines more often just for that reason, if the sink line can handle 10 persons per minute, and the supply is 20ppm you will have a queue. But once we throttle people at the sinks, the supply to the driers is 10ppm, thus no lines (assuming the driers line is 10ppm)....

MoSQL will just throw any fields it doesn't recognize into a JSON "extra_props" field (if you ask it to). So everything will work fine, and existing SQL code (which doesn't know about those fields) will continue to be fine.

If you need the data in SQL, you can either parse the JSON somehow, or rebuild the SQL table with a MoSQL schema that knows about the new fields.

Is identical.

In a very high concurrency environment with OS based threads it is not always the case. OS threads start to show their overhead ( both in switching and memory consumption ) when we get to 10K+ # of requests (I am assuming some server-client architecture here).

Async or green threads have a smaller overhead of switching, but any CPU based concurrency is usually missing (save for Erlang,Go,Haskell & Rust?). So for small IO bound programs it becomes hard to beat an epoll based loop (as nginx and haproxy show). As soon as any dispatches start computing things then the whole OS process blocks and sockets start throwing errors and everything goes to shit.
I've been haunted by moments in television as well, though.

The two final episodes of The Wire left me sleeplessly sitting in the garden, because of the events that transpired and the adrenaline involved.

The Body, one of the best Buffy episodes I can recall, left an impression on my young self that can still give me goosebumps when I think about it.

And the final episode of last season's Breaking Bad comes to mind, as well as the last episode so far.

I can't think of other occasions right away, but there are many more like it.

That said, on average books seem to have that effect more. Few things really topped how I felt after reading 'The Red Wedding' in A Song of Ice and Fire, for example. I think the main reason is that for television shows, the writers have to make many more concessions, because of producers, Nielsen ratings, and so on.

About half-true; the 360 is not expensive to develop for if you're doing XBLIG, which is probably the top speed of most of the "Ouya developers" I've seen out there. It is if you're an XBLA dev, but most of them are not. ("Censorship" is bizarre; I would hope we're not pushing RapeLay here.)

But it is purely a numbers game: if you've got a chance at 0.05% of Steam consumers you've blown away the 25% or even 50% of Ouya owners who might be interested in your game and it's not even close. And that means that nobody's going to write exclusives for Ouya and so the value prop for buying one, outside of a small perfectly-targeted segment that doesn't have a console and wants to play games in the living room and doesn't care about established franchises and is really really cheap, dies on the vine.

They are very useful, but for different kinds of data.

I keep my source in git, so I get proper versioning, commits, etc.

I keep all my stuff - data files, notes, documentation, agreements, tool installations, ebooks, tools/code made by others in dropbox, so they are the same everywhere.

But the git folders are outside of dropbox. The version control takes care of syncing the code, but there are all kinds of .gitignored files such as IDE path configuration and compiled binaries that differ (and must differ) between my computers. Heck, even most of the code files are different, because their line endings are converted to win or unix style.

Tesla -- and Elon Musk -- have accomplished a lot with a combination of ingenuity and timing, but their future (and the future of viable electric cars) relies entirely on a single technological advance that's almost completely outside their control: the physics of storage batteries.

In terms of value returned for investment, present storage batteries are almost the single worst modern technology. The storage battery on the Tesla Roadster weighs 990 pounds, stores 56 kWh (about 202 MJ) and discharges in 244 miles (393 km) in normal conditions (vehicle speed and environmental temperature). This is a stellar example of applied science and engineering (it's much better performance than that of similar batteries) but it still represents a big obstacle to wide adoption of electric vehicle technology.

As a seasoned former NASA engineer who struggled with these same issues on spacecraft for years, I offer this advice: young people who are trying to decide what do with their lives should seriously consider a career in battery science and engineering. There is room for huge improvement -- huge.

Yes there is. PostgreSQL doesn't support multi master replication which makes it a terrible choice if you really want to make sure every transaction gets written. I really wonder at what point people that keep recommending PostgreSQL are going to wake up and realise what is happening in the industry.

People are scaling OUT not UP. Especially startups.

I don't see the advantage for the customer. Surely Amazon coins will be less useful than actual money, being less liquid and not acceptable anywhere else, and not even valid for all digital transactions made via Amazon (e.g. subscriptions.)

The point is that async and green threads are the same thing, just one has a better interface. Of course they both have the same downside.

The point is that at a technical level, SnapChat imposes no barriers to an actor like NSA. It's not even designed to.

I'll observe that while general purpose alternatives exist, the fact that you were unaware of their applicability to the job search domain suggests that there may be a business opportunity.

To put it another way, the problem to be solved is not technical, but the logistical one of connecting a particular market to a technology. AirBnB didn't invent empty room technology or real estate listing websites. They just connected the two.

The challenge of executing your idea isn't reading RSS feeds, it's monetizing what is read by packaging and distributing it in a way which generates revenue. That's a much harder problem.
Ask HN: How do you onboard new developers?
I've developed an onboarding strategy for new hires in other departments and have a rough outline of the plan for bringing a new developer up to speed culturally and logistically, but because the position is so unique and tied more to skills than attitude, how do you bring new developers up to speed on the product itself?

From what I've read elsewhere (there's not much), getting their environment set up and then asking them to dive in and change a minimal part of the code is... something, but it seems to skip over a big piece of the picture, namely, an overview of the product and its internal code base.

Any and all thoughts are appreciated!
Unless you're worried about lack of GCM (and I guess you're not, given the next suite spec), you might as well make that highest-preference suite ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256.
Is Design Just a Veneer?
The question often comes up in different conversations between designers, developers and clients of "What is Design"?

Is it just a Veneer - something that is "slapped" on after the website or app has been built? Is it simply copying other beautiful designs and pasting your own logo and colors into it?

I've written an article on this topic that I hope you'll take some time to read and think about. And then I really want to hear your thoughts on this topic. What does design mean to you? What does it encompass? http://www.webinsation.com/design-is-not-just-a-veneer/

None of that explains why you need erlang. Any language can do message passing. The whole point is that we should be expecting these capabilities from every language, rather than pretending using an event loop is in any way reasonable.

Another glitch: the volume controls don't work correctly. No matter what level your volume is at, if you press the down button just once, the volume will go completely to 0! You have to keep pressing up again to reach the proper level. Quite annoying when the volume is a function used so many times a day. Jailbreaking may allow you to get more features, but it usually brings a whole host of headaches, too. I'll probably just stick with the standard iOS system after the next update.

I feel there’s an excluded middle here. The state could perfectly reasonably consider it ok to take taxes, but not life. Or to take life in some circumstances (war), but not others (death penalty). Your argument appears to be that because something is a bit true, it has to be completely true. I don’t find this to be the case in practice. There are plenty of partly true things in life.

Only because "air drying" is a more acceptable option than "not washing". So a combined station would only slow things down inasmuch as people no longer skip drying.

In general (at least in the US) drying takes far longer than washing. Because most people wash quickly/poorly whereas driers are on timers and most are horrible.

And when your hands are still wet even after negotiating the unresponsive sensor and waiting an entire drying duration, it's understandable that many people would just as soon skip it.
I'm going to take a look at the source but I am also buying it from the AppStore as there is no way that I can convince myself that you don't deserve $2.99 from me for this app.

Shareholders aren't being forced: theoretically the board represents the shareholders, and the board voted to accept the deal (and with a 25% premium on price, I would too, if I was on the board). In a sense if you are a shareholder who doesn't like this deal, you should have made that clear to your board members (or voted for different board members who shared your views) before.
I had no idea 'prepend' was used so infrequently.
Maybe but there's a bit of a shuffle getting around people who have grabbed towels. And there are always the people who stand by towels to dry because that's where the trash can is.

Actually, I guess separating the towel dispensers and trash cans in existing bathrooms would be a smart efficiency move since it would encourage people to grab a towel and keep moving.
I think this is pretty nice actually. When I'm re-budgeting, it's a headache to go back through my text-only transactions and wonder what those odd one-off transactions are. Descriptions don't tend to add much more, as I tend to forget the context later. A photo though. That's worth a thousand words. Immediate recollection + faster scanning.
Interesting comment from YouTube.

Hi there, it's Jack at Dyson. In total, our engineers created over 3300 prototypes of the new Dyson Airblade hand dryers, and every component was subjected to hundreds of tests. Our unforgiving test team was tasked with finding fault and weakness and paying attention to detail – they simulated hand washing 213 million times. They even doused the machines in chemical﻿ mixes and tipped beer over the Airblade hand dryer range to make sure they are not damaged by harmful substances.
Other than via Dyson's "most hygenic" marketing claim, where do you get the idea towels are unhygenic?

The evidence seems mixed or against air dryers, at least when compared to paper-towels, properly implemented. See for example:

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142412788732470510457815...

http://blog.kamens.us/2010/10/26/dyson-airblade-not-the-fast... (including the University study linked within)

I'm not a fan of the Dyson jet dryers. I can feel the mist of blown water, suggesting that it's getting my 'bathroom sink rinse' more places, rather than leaving it all in the bathroom. The power of the jets sometimes causes my hands to touch the sides of the device, which results in one more bathroom-surface-touch than I'd prefer on my way out. And unless I run my hands through 2-3 times, waiting for the unit's (motor cool-down?) pause each time, my hands still feel slightly damp compared to a thorough paper-towel-drying.
> Meaning a person with some amount of social power can affect your career negatively just because they don't like you.

Right, but it should be based on something a little more tangible than a Twitter picture and denying sex after creepy DMs and fake client calls. This is the type of behavior that should be called out. I'm as on the fence as anyone else about naming names in these situations (because even if it is true, the fame of the accused could backfire on the victim), but this one seems pretty cut-and-dry. I personally don't know, based on her descriptions of him, who he is, but if these allegations are true and other women can come forward with similar stories, something should be said.

> If she really hated this guy, she could have just married him and then took half his stuff.

Oh for crying out loud; damned if you do, damned if you don't. He was married and lying to her and other women about it while going around conferences sleazing on them and then badmouthing them in front of his equally celebrity-status peers when they turned him down. If this was a story about a girl who was pressured to be with someone for all the wrong reasons, I can only imagine what the comments here would be like.
