I'll test it if I can be guaranteed some of these features, not sure if I'm part of the demographic but here it goes: the importation of Google Starred Items, Gmail Starred Items, Chrome Bookmarks, Firefox Bookmarks (by uploading it's HTML file), and Evernote (viewing the url's I've clipped). I mainly want this so that I can organize them (delete, properly name, putting them into different folders, etc) and download them as html.

TL;DR Support data portability and reorganization of other bookmarking services. I've sent this request to the feedly, tinmark, xmarks, and the collections.me team. Nothing.
I apologize if this question has been asked and answered, but why is netty missing from the database tests? No ORM?
By all means, I would love to have element queries. They would definitely help in many cases. You would have to limit their use to just those areas of markup where container widths are explicit.

If it shows up in 18 places I bet you there will be two different contexts with the same container size, but different looks, and element queries won't help you at this point. You'll still need to tailor your CSS classes for different contexts.
Right, because a highly used endpoint with, presumably given it's widespread usage, millions of requests is easily forgotten.
Is Facebook Home More Than Just a Souped-Up App?
Is there a way to create a link directly to a specific annotation? I was looking for a quick way to share a quote/annotation with someone. I'm not interested in using or signing in with Twitter.
It plays out at a slight remove:

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/meth/etc/cron.html

The part I think is pertinent here is that there is little illicit manufacture of ephedrine and pseudoephedrine (so the availability of meth varies with the availability of them).

First generations of consumer x64 processors were named Athlon 64, so you can read x64 as Athlon 64 compatible if you really want uniformity.

x86 also started as unofficial shorthand.
Very interesting! I've long dreamed of an architecture which does exactly this, and is geared towards implementing fully distributed social networks. P2P and social networking were made for each other -- it should be a lot more efficient to peer with your actual social circle rather than a group of strangers, since the data you're most interested in is more likely to already exist somewhere within your own social circle.

Imagine a simple Twitter-like system built on top of this, for example. Each web client would function as a store-and-forward. Every time you connect with a friend, both parties would reconcile the latest posts from all friends that they share in common. In this way, information on social networks could be disseminated rapidly and efficiently with no centralisation whatsoever.

Seems to me like just two other bits of technology would be needed for this: ubiquitous dual-key authentication, and a good UID system. I don't think either of those would be a problem, and I really hope somebody does this, since centralised social networks bother me more than a little bit.
What about Puma (http://puma.io), Goliath (http://goliath.io) or Unicorn (http://unicorn.bogomips.org/) instead of Passenger in the Ruby stack?
You want to be able to EPO without agent (e.g. if someone's being electrocuted; especially with something like Halon 1301, you want to be able to remain in the room to give medical aid), but I've never heard of room-scale agent dump without EPO (either interlocked or as a checklist procedure).

The problem with that is that you only get one shot with the agent (although everywhere I've seen has a gas/clean agent with dry-pipe water as the true final protective measure). If there's electricity still going in, and you use your one shot with the facility clean agent, you might not actually put out the fire, or it could re-ignite, and then you either have no fire protection or only water. The cost of filling a datacenter with water, especially one important to have gas and water backup in the first place, is huge, even relative to an EPO pull.
Do smoke detectors also detect smells? The question doesn't report any smoke at all.
In addition to deliberate practice, there's also the relationship of time when practiced. Here's a good layperson's explanation - http://calnewport.com/blog/2011/11/11/if-youre-busy-youre-do...

> and bitcoin has entertainment value, like a movie DVD.

Unlike the intrinsic value of gold (which, certainly, is much lower than its current market value), the entertainment value of bitcoin is unlikely to be retained in the event of the kind of crisis that would occur with the collapse in major internationally recognized soveriegn currencies like the dollar and euro. So, while bitcoin might have similar utility to gold on the assumption that major world currencies are largely, themselves, stable, its not better than gold as an insurance against those systems collapsing.

Now, personally, I think that hoarding any type of alternative currencies against major collapse (rather than keeping reserves of simple useful survival items) is foolish, many of the arguments for both gold and bitcoin are premised around a supposedly-inevitable collapse of traditional major sovereign currencies (and, particularly, the US dollar.) And, while I think neither gold not BTC is a good choice to protect against that kind of contingency, I think its pretty clear that BTC is far worse than gold in that role.

Take a look at the branding guidelines for developers.

Most of these are bound to a language: choose a language first (and my answer to that question is "whichever one you're happiest working in and can get the job done"), then figure out which backend to use. You can fret over the framework more after you've already built something that works.

It is a data leak. The CEO says so right in this thread, when he says the email should not have been on the page.
I could be missing something, but it looks like you are using the default settings. Have you tried tweaking it all? Specifically setting apc.stat=0, which will stop it from checking the mtime. You'll need to clear the cache with apc_clear_cache() when you make code changes though. You may also want to look at apc.php to check for fragmentation and adjust apc.shm_size if necessary
All metrics are meaningless without context.

I like these comparisons. It's unlikely that anyone is going to pick a framework for their project based on just this alone.

I find its good "food for thought" as it provides me exposure to frameworks that perhaps I can use one day but also to learn more about.

The most interesting aspect is all the code for each framework to do the simple page output, the queries, etc. can be viewed for each framework. I find this an incredible learning tool as it shows the personality of each framework/language.
I'm not sure Scala qualifies as a "nice to know" when OP had specifically asked of Java developers and ecosystem.
linopolus - you might want to expand on what you find inconsistent in your example.
Some thoughts:

1) When I click the "list" button at the top next to the essay name, it shows me the same list that is on the left side of the screen. Why? Is there something I can do there that I can't do somewhere else?

2) Why make your auth twitter? I see no value in tying it to twitter unless you are expecting people to tweet all their annotations, which seems unlikely.

3) There's a ton of unused white space on the right, which makes the app feel unbalanced.

4) The site is not very mobile friendly -- not a knock against you, but since it looks like you are already doing responsive css, I thought the mobile site would be much tighter.

5) Whoa, why are there dozens of media queries in there -- are you really changing things every 10px?

Looks like they realized that they'll need to make it a bit more tempting to compete with the Dropbox-owned Mailbox app on iOS, given that Mailbox is free and pretty much duplicates the whole "gesture control, inbox as to-do list, mark messages to be reviewed later and they're hidden until then" idea.
These are sellers and their contact information. The whole point is that they are public.
Under no circumstance should you enter a room filled with smoke. Smoke inhalation is incredibly dangerous.

To re-iterate, a lot (most?) of the people who die in fires actually die from smoke inhalation than from getting burned by the fire/flames.

Does your alexa ranking have any value?
IMO if you build a product and it is working, there really is not much reason to redo your efforts in a higher performance framework unless your needs require you to do so. If you are at your current hardware's limits and you can't throw more hardware at it (for whatever reason), it may make sense in that case. If you want to reduce the amount of servers you currently have, it also makes sense there. http://blog.iron.io/2013/03/how-we-went-from-30-servers-to-2... This is a great post talking about going from 30 servers using Ruby to 2 servers using Go.

Use case example - Twitter was using Rails on the front-end for a while but it got to the point where using it made little sense. Part of Rails' performance is dependent on caching - which is really hard, if not impossible, to do well when you are dealing with live data.

FYI, Gemini is our framework that we've built and maintain internally. You probably won't find reference to it (except for out blog).

A few thoughts for the online interface:
1) When dragging the time selection slider (below the stage chart), it doesn't move if your cursor moves out of the vertical bounds.

2) It wasn't apparent to me at first that you could toggle variables on the legend -- in fact I didn't even notice the legend right away (maybe make it a bit bigger, and a bit more obvious that it's toggle-able?)

3) The legend changes between vertical stack and inline based on how wide the window is, I'd prefer if it was vertical stacked all the time.

I dig it!
As explained in the article the Justice Department uses fierce interpretation of the law.

While the law stands in its current unclear state people are still at risk of prosecution. Conviction might be improbable, but it's still an unpleasant situation to be in.

Courts show that judges are not unanimous about this. (https://www.eff.org/cases/u-s-v-nosal)

Note that the Nosal case was a person who was permitted to access to computer, but who then misused information got from it, and not someone who was prevented from accessing the computer.

Details of Mark Zuckerberg's immigration reform group
I saw a documentary, not so long ago from one city in Napoli, where it were the biggest drug dealing in Europe, the drug dealers do it all in the walls, most of them didn't know how to sum properly. They made so much money that kind of errors were normal.
The next version of Django (Python's largest web framework) will experimentally support Python 3.0 next release. They did so because maintaining two branches would be a pain, and they didn't want to dump their existing community. Not too long ago, matplotlib (the plotting library) didn't have ports for some versions. They were slow to port because they were waiting for scipy and numpy. Anything which deals heavily in string processing needs a major re-write. Libraries were waiting for other libraries, which where waiting for other libraries to be ported.

If Rails didn't support Ruby 1.9, I'd imagine the migration would have been slower.
Once you get used to AT&T syntax, Intel's seems somewhat verbose. That said, deciphering complex addressing modes (especially for LEAs) in AT&T is pain. So each syntax and its quirks...

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/internatio...
I agree that indexing looks way better in Intel ("[ebx+3]") than in AT&T syntax ("2(%ebx)").

However, for me, AT&T's "mov X Y" for "move X to Y" feels better for me than Intel's "mov Y X" for "move Y from X" (who says that?). If they wanted to things in reverse, they should have named the instruction differently, for example as "load Y X" for "load Y from X" (as in "LDA #0xFF" from the 6502)

As for movl instead of mov, I like the 68K version (MOVE.L) better.
Please try. I've no idea what you're talking about.

In most other systems, you don't have an identity that is visibly associated with the transaction.

Every time I think about opening up my wallet and donating to the EFF for their various successful efforts, they turn around and post something stupid like this.

They should stop letting 1st year law students write these ridiculous rants. Courts have almost all rejected attempts to criminalize website TOS violations. Indeed, courts have generally held that TOS is binding only against the company, since the company by the terms of the TOS is free to change the terms at will without prior notification to visitors.
The short answer is that at some point, we kept adding more and more tests on our own, which kept the blog from going out, and we finally decided to have a cutoff date and let the community continue adding tests that they were interested in. I think adding a database test to Netty (as well as Go for that matter) would be a great addition.
Nice!

Promise & Deferred Objects in JavaScript: pt.1 Semantics, performance and theory
The real problem with HN is that everyone here is very insecure. Whenever anyone does anything remotely cool or unusual, there's always a boatload of comments crapping on their achievement.

193 countries? That's not impressive; he probably didn't enjoy them. He didn't really see each country I he didn't live there (whatever that means).

Maybe you're all just jealous?

You know what's easy to do? Be the first to post some cynical, contrarian bullshit in the comments.
I'm surprised you blame us for the way Jeff is perceived. The only thing I think we could have maybe done better is omit the links to his actual replies. In retrospect, that might have been better. Our link text is pretty benign, e.g., "Then, we heard from Jeff."

The story is simple. We offered to save the likes of users who asked us to. Jeff objected, so we didn't. We offered to save the recipe data and make a searchable index. Jeff objected, so we didn't. While we might have been surprised, we complied; we didn't want to ruffle any feathers.

I can only imagine that you either object to the fact that we started the Open Recipes project or that we shared the story behind it. Either way, I'm afraid I just don't care. If there are exactly two people who think we did something wrong here, and lots of people who support what we're doing, then I think we chose wisely.

Also, you can't truthfully claim that anything we're doing is competing with Punchfork. (It was shut down at the end of March, before the Open Recipes project existed.) Not that there's anything wrong with competition.

"I like these comparisons. It's unlikely that anyone is going to pick a framework for their project based on just this alone."

This is exactly right, performance is one of many items to consider when building your own website, and while we're aiming to have a very comprehensive and useful set of performance data, we would agree that other factors need to be taken into account.

This isn't a problem only found on HN but all of society in general, across the world.

Thankfully, for all there is, HN has less than the average news site, and it's why I continue to frequent this place. When HN becomes the next Reddit, Digg, or mainstream news portal, I'll jump ship.
I think we are aiming at the same thing here. A proper, multi-tenant datacenter will have separate zones for generators, UPS, electrical, and climatisation. The actual chance of a fire starting and spreading in this type of configuration is low and this is the environment I prefer to work in. I've also worked in server rooms in 100+ year old buildings which did double duty as storage/broom closet. The original post was closer to this since they had racked UPSes next to their servers and network equipment. It apparently caused enough smoke to fill a server room and make the poster nauseous, which makes me wonder what air handling capacity they have. It's this type of "datacenter" where you have to worry about your life.
TOS violations can be analogized into one of several types of real-world crimes -- trespassing, vandalism, or theft. Generally all of these crimes require the victim to press charges.
Except they occur through that lovely Internet, so the feds involve themselves and who knows under what circumstances they would disengage?
Certainly Hearst did not intend to keep teen girls away from Seventeen -- who else would read it?
The option to press charges is probably all that's needed.
Looks to be mostly just splitting by the period -- see article "Startup == Growth", page 17 near the bottom (splits on 1.7x at the period, although it shouldn't)
And the other thing is that we aren't really clicking on URLs, because it's just a string you cannot click on it. We are clicking on anchor texts and using ugly URLs as anchor text can be the problem. If the anchor text is a descriptive title then most (non-techie) users doesn't even see the URL before they click because they don't know it's displayed at the bottom of the browser if you move the mouse over them.
While that's possible, I thought HN was being a lot more strict about submission titles lately. I know I've had a few of mine changed immediately (and I'm talking about those I edited for clarity, not linkbaiting).

well for me it just one of the aspects of your web page growth , i would not be too concerned about it though . I work for clients who focus too much on alexa rank but i personally prefer user view or returning views.
