Then why isn't everyone doing it? And if it does become all about 'the money' then that's great, whatever gets large companies on-board with being as environmentally responsible as possible can only be a good thing..

The faster it becomes a no-brainer decision the better.
What's Michael's blog URL please?
Yep http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incorporation_of_the_Bill_of_Ri... the second amendment was incorporated in 2010, but most of the others were incorporated decades ago. By that data, if anything, the NRA is protecting the second amendment worse than all the other amendments have been protected.
Thanks ksri, that would be very welcomed.

I think a viable design would be to put into redis-cli only things that are network oriented, so we should actually merge the functionality of your current tool into redis-check-rdb, that should be renamed just redis-rdb, with the following features:

1) Everything redis-rdb-tools is currently able to do.

2) Sanity checks of RDB files, like redis-check-rdb is doing already.

Makes sense? Thanks again, this would be very very appreciated.
How whitehats stopped the DDoS attack that knocked Spamhaus offline
considering they were paying her for PR as a "developer evangelist" I think they should be able to make a fair case for her dismissal.
Except their benchmarks are full of poo poo. The Python pidigits benchmark uses a third party C extension for high performance math, whereas the Ruby 2.0 pidigits benchmark is pure Ruby.

Of course someone will lose a fight when their opponent is wearing a jetpack and rocket powered shoes.

These are not exactly stellar examples. The ones that I've seen that are good are:

* Let you know that meeting you have will be tough to make it to due to traffic/you haven't left yet.
* ...

Ok, so there is really only one good use case I know of. The others are items that, if I am not searching for it, I don't think I really want to know about it.

So, can you give some good expansions of that etc?
I stopped watching TED talks after I heard Sarah Silverman speaking about her own little warm shower she got from the pubic hair of her mum ..
We're talking about two different things. I made no mention of PyCon rules because the sexual joke was clearly against their rules. What I'm talking about is Adria's double standard for what is offensive and what is not. So lets try this again:

"How can it be not cool to make a penis joke in a room where a few people may overhear it, while it being cool to tweet the penis joke to the whole room?"
The optimization trick is outlined here:

http://redis.io/topics/memory-optimization

If your sets and zsets are bounded within a certain limit then they will be compressed and take up quite a bit less space.

Updating your configuration obviously requires a restart so that will need to be kept in mind (ie: if your data fragmentation is high then restarting will eliminate the fragmentation, so space savings will be apparent but they're not actually indicative of any changes).
But doesn't the energy produced still get used, offsetting coal that would otherwise be burnt? That would seem an admirable step, even if it isn't so simple as removing non-renewable sources entirely from the picture.
Let me put it another way. Do you think that every conference goer should behave the way Adria did? Whenever a conference goer feels offended, he or she should immediately take photos, publish them on Twitter and on a blog post along with insults like "asshat" and otherwise humiliate the individuals as publicly as possible?

The reason I ask is so I can figure out whether you're debating whether it's OK to publicly shame people in this manner, or whether you're quibbling over the degree of risk you're exposing someone to when you publicly shame them the way Adria did.
Objective-J is not the problem itself , the problem is that Cappucino is very hard to debug in the browser itself. I went through the tutorial , had an error , and there was no way i could know where it came from.

I dont have a mac right now so i cant use the builder , but i dont think that Cappucino failed because it is bloated. I use Haxe which is even more bloated than Cappucino. Yet Haxe allows me to debug a JS app directly in the browser with source maps , Haxe has a very smart and powerfull compiler.

Maybe it is matter of timing. But i think it is just a matter of tools. Again Obj-J is not horrible to work with. And Capp apps are definetly neat.
Developing on a Linux virt is good practice anyway. Best if it matches your production environment.
If at the turn of the 20th century there had been an organization, say the BWAA (Buggy Whip Association of America), I'm sure that organization would've been lobbying for the exact same kind of anti-progress laws regarding the development of automobile technology.

The shame of it is that technological innovation could actually be used by the MPAA to produce things that people want to pay money for. Instead what we have is a bunch of soon-to-be fossils thinking that they will be the first people ever in the history of humans to successfully stand in the way of progress and not be steamrolled into oblivion.
This is going to get downvoted but...

...welcome to the liberal utopia. Where the 'experts' tell you how to run your business and your live your life. Public servants now think they have the right to violate our rights and freedoms because they know better. Whether its surveillance or the size of a soda can. It's as though we are living in an Orwellian novel. Why can't we just let people live their own lives as long as they don't hurt anyone else.
"I'm not going to debate what is work appropriate."

As pointed out by a previous poster, I would appreciate it you took the time to understand that this was not the crux of what I was saying. Work appropriateness aside, the idea that only juveniles could possibly enjoy such a joke is ... laughable.

You can use Parse's integration for traditional e-commerce. As an example, Parse built their own app where you can purchase Parse swag and have it shipped to you: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/parse-store/id613679907?ls=1...
There is plenty of commentary from the founders to indicate that. Judges are suppose to be above the "rule by mob" mentality. Choosing justices according to hot topic political views as we have been recently is directly counter to the whole purpose.

I'd put this particular failure more in Apple's camp then Ruby. You would have similar issues with almost any other language and environment.

The simple fact that you need Xcode's SDK and homebrew/macports on a machine to get anything done outside of Xcode speaks volumes for using Mac's as development workstations (or, specifically, MacOS).
Greek tragedy tier hubris backfire.

(Speaking as a user of Postgres and MongoDB, I'm way more worried about the latter screwing me than the former.)
Not that bold. We should not ignore what others are doing, but we should not think that because someone else is doing well, a carbon copy of their solution will fit here. I am just saying that things are never simple.
It's not about what I infer. It's about what is inferred by disadvantaged parties and their advocates, especially once the stupid remarks of an employee have focused the attentions of those on the company. Ten different personnel decisions have been made, for a set of mostly-business-oriented executive positions (seriously, VPs of Ad, Mark, Biz Dev, and "Pub" Dev plus a single non-S VP of "Product and Engineering"? what kind of tech company is this?) and in no case could a suitable woman be found? Your Honor, we rest our case.

Besides, this page is the public face of the company, which they choose to show the public. The semiotics of the "United Colors of Benetton" mosaic is clear, but it is undermined by the "Leadership" sidebar, under even the most generous possible reading.
Users on HN often did not simply fall in line behind the stereotypical camps that feed on this kind of issue

Oh god, they do. There are certainly dissenting voices but Hacker News has proven itself time and time again to be unable to examine the issue of gender, or more tellingly, unwilling to. These posts disappearing is not a one-off, there have been numerous instances of people flagging 'difficult' posts on HN, so that we can all continue arguing about semi-colons.

"You are essentially celebrating the victory of consumer commerce, not technology X over technology Y."

It isn't celebrating to point out a reality of the world relative to a post that seems to imagine that every other solution was handicapped in the race. And it IS completely based upon technical merit.

"Do you really think everybody in investment banks & brokerages fire up their browser first thing in the morning ? 99% of what they did, do & will continue to do, will continue to be done via native apps - mostly C#, C++, .NET & Java apps."

Humorously I build software for the financial market. Our presentation tiers are almost entirely through web apps. The competitors I was talking about -- the ones who poured cement on their own feet -- went the "thick client" route. And we keep on iterating.

"The web is just the tip of the iceberg."

Yes. No kidding. I'm not building a database in the DOM. I'm not processing trades in JavaScript. This discussion is about the presentation tier. Every criticism of the web always holds that you could toss together something so much better in some illusory, never proven alternative, but that simply isn't true.
The surprise is that she was fired so quickly and in the middle of a crippling DDOS attack. What startup has the resources to effectively adjudicate a sensitive, sensationalized personnel matter while the goddamn building is on fire? The profanity isn't directed at you: I'm trying to simulate what I think the DEFCON level should be within SendGrid today.

If she was thrown out in hopes of appeasing the DDOSers, that may be a first. And because the nature of the episode involved discrimination, they could have very well opened themselves to a lawsuit if they didn't word their internal communique carefully.

And, as I said, who has the ability to carefully adjudicate matters when the building is on fire?

What? Wow, I actually emailed on the 9th. Received a very prompt and polite reply from "Thairu" (no last name in the email) who apologized and said you guys were working on it but didn't know when it would be out.

I'd actually offered to beta test the support if I could because I really wanted to use you for an e-commerce site I'm developing.

Thanks, I'll hopefully be able to use it
Not in this case. The signup flow for my site is "decide to subscribe, put in email address, put in credit card, create Persona account."

By the time they get to the "create Persona account" part, they're already invested in it working.

I also monitor my logs for signs of trouble. One of the two issues I was talking about above was actually initiated by me reaching out to the subscriber. (I happened to see them bouncing on the "now log in" page within a few minutes of their subscribing.)

And I also ask people who cancel why they did so. The vast majority respond, and none have said "I couldn't log in." :-)

It's quite possible there are still some angry silent unsubscribers who were stymied by Persona, but at this point I'm satisfied that it's not a significant number.
Her role is Developer Evangelist. I imagine she's being let go because they viewed her behavior as unprofessional for that role. References to 'large dongles' are not inherently sexist, at least in this context. And for her to publicly humiliate a developer for that amounts to SendGrid vouching for her actions, given her role.

Granted you're just saying that _if_ it's because of the DDOS this is inappropriate. I'd agree, but I doubt that's the reason, unless it is just what happened to draw their attention to this.
People will kick your head in because you made a dick joke once?
Danish parliament rejects computers at polling stations (Danish)
A couple of guys make some unfunny dick jokes at a conference that are overheard by a woman. Said woman is offended and decides the appropriate response is to take photos of them and out them publicly. The employer of one of the unfunny guys shitcans him, and the internet mob comes out in force.

A bunch of innocent bystanders are dragged in to the foray when the mob attacks the employer of the offended woman. The woman's employer wants nothing to do with any of the mess, so they fire her very publicly on the internet in an attempt at triage for their bleeding customer base.

Meanwhile, the conference organizers institute what could only be described as a "gag order" policy with regard to harassment issues.

Please -- oh please -- explain to me how one could possibly extract anything "good", with regard to equality or otherwise, from this situation?
"Decent curator" is prejudging your outcome, don't you think?

If your goal for a "community" is something shallow, stage-managed, and beautiful, then sure, you'll want to bury this story. Many communities are run like that, to be sure.

If your goal for a community is to actually discuss the issues that people want to discuss, or to discuss the issues that are important, then in either of those two cases this should be front page news.
I must confess my knowledge into things that got unfairly flagged away is pretty limited, so you may well be correct. But as I said, the point is not that bad things happen here as well. It's that this is the only place where I actually found worthwhile opinions, whether they may be surrounded by bad ones or not. Maybe the signal-to-noise ratio is still too low, and we need to fix that, but at least it's not quickly approaching zero as is the case on, say, Twitter.
Did not expect this outcome. Live by the sword...die by the sword.
The ramification of our current context on undesirable behavior is great, but daunting. The attraction of this issue by that many means it has great importance to that many people. This is the spark.

To see mostly men try to defuse and take air out of the severity or gravity of the blow-up is telling. The ideas coming into play have powerful cascading effects. If you let women stand up for themselves on this, they'll stand up some more, and more, and more... until a certain group of men don't feel comfortable expressing ideas or behaviors that most would know they shouldn't. When those miscreants can't do that, maybe they'll look at my behavior next with a greater sense of entitlement???

For better and worse, we live in the current context and people are learning the new ropes. This is an example, and as I note above... There will be more of this and the net result will be that peoples' better natures will put in check anti-social habits and behaviors.

Bringing to light the issues, through spectacle, and bringing weight, in the form of tighter cycles of mass communication to action is all that "scary social justice theory stuff" becoming agile-like. This is open-source, agile-process social change.

To try to put the brakes on by trying to get people to keep it quiet (yeah, right conference organizers, really? you've seen how this works at universities) or to rein in the pace or scope of change is to be on the wrong side of history.

We are headed towards meritocracy and some people are fearful of what that implies.
You're really reading too much into his analogy; it was a quick informal way to get a point across and everyone (should have?) understood what he meant.
as long as they keep Google Search, I am happy :)
The 10MB difference can be attributed to fragmentation, so the savings may in fact be zero. In such systems mathematical estimates don't always reflect reality so real testing would be more expedient and appropriate.
I was going to tell a story of washing old circuit boards in the breakroom sink at a prior job, but I guess I'll pass. :-)

That said, the air keyboard does have a spill protection layer that provides some measure of protection. My girlfriend has spilled far more liquid on her Air and it's survived well. It's unfortunate that you got a terribly unlucky circuit-seeking drop of liquid.
A Dongle Joke That Spiraled Way Out Of Control
NewsBlur's developer here. Just want to point out that this bug has bitten me back in 2.2, a few months ago. I need to be able to replicate my db in order to shard. But the biggest beef I have with this bug is that it doesn't become apparent until AFTER you spend 6 hours replicating (which results in poor load times for the primary db).

I would love it if I could choose which server to sync from. This option used to exist, but they removed it. But that would only solve the performance penalty of replication.

To their credit, the MongoDB folks have been stellar. I had a hardware failure a year ago and the CTO ssh'ed into my machines to figure out what was wrong. This time I'm having a bit more difficulty getting the problem fixed, but it's understandable as I have 100GB of highly variable data.
Why were the three previous HN items about this deleted?
This entire incident has snowballed from ridiculous to insane.

However, I find it interesting that Playhaven wasn't DDOS'ed for firing the guy. If they had acted rationally and didn't fire him, this wouldn't have been the unmitigated clusterfuck that it has turned into.

The most likely angle of attack would be privacy law: public disclosure of private facts.

I don't know if this would stand up in court, but it doesn't have to stand up in court if the lawyers can drag it out long enough. In this particular case, that tips in her favor, because the odds of this case escalating to celebrity status are high. That scenario is every corporate lawyer's nightmare, because with celebrity status comes reliable financial support.
Your first argument seems to undermine your second argument.
Although this would seem to be another knee-jerk, exaggerated reaction, and I personally believe that she shouldn't have been fired (and that the first guy shouldn't have been either), we should also consider the SendGrid CEO's position; his company is under attack, might fail, so getting rid of the person whom this attack is targeting seems like the obvious thing to do.

I'm guessing that SendGrid will loose some other customers now, as a result of this last action. Suspending her would be more reasonable.

HipChat has surprisingly been the most effective productivity tool we've taken up in the past 5 years.

I don't think it really matters how many customers you have. Your goal isn't to build brand awareness at this point, it's to get the visitor to provide their email.
