Ask HN: Tools for profiling your website - Which do you use?
As I code in Flask I just use the built-in profiler in Werkzeug, but I would need one which test request delay and such (which means the profiler would need to be external).
Which do you use for the language that you use?
I think this would be a great time for the Queen to speech up and prove she is not just a touristic attraction.

Those sites seem to fit the "Computers" category to me. (Note that sites can be in more than one category.)
In all seriousness, though, reading about the smashed MacBook Pro has me reviewing our Chubb business operations and equipment insurance.

It excludes acts of terrorism and terrorism related activity. If jackboots show up demanding to physically demolish servers in any of our dozen datacenters around the world, claiming Section 7 or Patriot Act, will our insurance replace them? A government's categorization of data as terror related could quickly put a cloud provider out hundreds of thousands or millions (mass video storage is expensive) in unrecoverable costs.

We're covered for business continuity if the DMCA or SOPA troops show up and make off with servers like with Mega. But looks like we're not covered if the insurance company can prove a government called the destruction terror related. Ugh.
If you want to use it, you can figure it out. It requires more work than most people care about.

I've been on this train on a tourbus, you're not expected / required to go out unless you want to use the bathroom. Maybe it's different for car transport.
Imagine a normal train although slightly bigger where you yourself drive on and park. It's not an open carriage like a 'normal' car transport would use.

For anyone looking for the sort of topics the Guardian can no-longer report on, and the dangers all reporters now face:

http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/aug/19/david-m...
Crosswords don’t make you clever
Wikipedia: Size in volumes
All this Gaurdian praise neglects the fact that they have had all of their exclusives handed to them over the past few years, from WikiLeaks to Snowden... and for no good reason other than that's who it was given to last time.

If papers such as the independent, etc. had been given this information, im sure there professionalism would have been the same or higher. Outside of handed-on-a-platter reporting, the Guardian has massively cocked up in the past (leading to the arrest of sources, etc.).

I made the same mistake WRT pj's gender. Read groklaw for a long time before noticing.
>Marshall plan.

Little to do with reconstruction, lots to do with ensuring economic dependence. Why not talk about the Dawes and Young plans?

>Defense of South Korea.

Again, not doing objective good, protecting American interests, and a direct result of USAMGIK.

>Support for Taiwan

This is solely to piss off PRC, and always has been, and again can't really be seen as "good" as the principle mode of this support is in selling them lots and lots of guns.

>Public and private responses to natural disasters throughout the world.

Public responses good, yes, but the government responses to natural disasters - not so much. Lots of ODA, but that's just an economic shackle, rather than helpful aid.

>Argument by hyperbole isn't very interesting or useful and analysis of historical events is always difficult because the alternatives not taken are hard to evaluate against the actual choices that were made.

This is true, and it's hard to condense decades of thinking into a single post, but I stand by my assertion that US foreign policy sucks.
Way to go, BBC: choosing the darkest possible picture of David Miranda, where he's tired and distraught, so that he can look like a "brownie terrorist" as much as possible. Very classy.

I'm not saying they should have airbrushed him WillSmith-style, but he looks a much more regular chap in here: http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/20...
Yes, there are such wagons for the reasons you state - though limited to rush hour (about 90 minutes per day) and one per train of fourteen wagons or so and, in Tokyo, only used on some lines.
It does seem better here, but I am both male and European so not fully equipped to adjudge.
Of course there is (or atleast was) a difference between a RED and a DSLR, my question wasn't really about that, it was about the dof claim. Note that Canon 5D has been used in number of feature films, even The Avengers[1].

>they generally do significant good just as a sitting deterrent.

... to other soldiers. And the same logic dictates that everyone involved in the whole dismal advertising industry does significant necessary good works by offering their clients a means to neutralise the benefits that their rivals get from THEIR advertisers. I'd contend that bullshit jobs that are necessary to counteract the effects of other bullshit jobs are still bullshit!

How it's possible to make both sets of bullshit jobs obsolete is left as an exercise for the social engineer, of course...
Not wanting to sound too cynical, but choosing to let them break out the sledgehammers does seem to have made a pretty good story in itself, doesn't it?
I think I may have made myself unclear. I'm not saying you don't have the right to ban someone from accessing your server. Of course you do.

I support the right of a site owner to try to prevent a person from accessing his site. But I don't support the right to make it illegal for someone to access this person's site if he's making it publicly available.
It's still a fascinating experiment at any rate.
I hope that you'll do a second round, I'd probably apply.
Good luck and keep us informed if and when you can!
The thing is, GPG is not bollocks. Barring a major unforeseen discovery, RSA cryptography will easily stand up to five years' retention.

If you're worried, use a long keylength. I've been using 4096-bit keys for over a year now and there's no noticeable performance hit for regular comms on my computer. On my phone, 4096 is noticeably slower than 2048, but it still works fine (probably about a 5-10 sec operation to decrypt an ordinary email, and I have a comparatively "old" phone).
If the iTunes agreement contains a clause about not using it to make nuclear weapons (it does), you can be sure as anything most insurance policies are void if you lose things to government action. I had a flick through mine some time ago, the only ones I can remember are falling spacecraft and floods.
Miranda was held under the Terrorism Act. The interpretation of terrorism as defined by the act can be found here.

I'm no lawyer, but I'm sure some of you reading this have knowledge of the law. I would like to know how this act can be applied in these circumstances.
They are the ones that get your taxes you asshole. If you don't want to depose them, stop.giving them money to pull stunts like this.

Although US citizens love to be victims, .no atom bomb would be dropped.without US people.money.
Even better, lets create a new proprietary system for every innovation (or arbitrary change), because the market is great at forcing interoperability between proprietary systems. Why wouldn't it be? The alternative would be a monopoly, or a broken, inefficient industry - and avoiding that is always primary in each individual actors' mind.

And frankly, the picture on my eTeeVee(TM) is much better than the picture on my Samsung, even though it isn't compatible with OTA or cable standards.
Thugs. That's the first thing in my mind. The UK government employs thugs to intimidate people and destroy property.

This kind of subject makes it really hard not to Godwin the thread right away., because you know what other government used thugs to intimidate and destroy.
Not a big deal. Even the REST people have long been just sending normal GET and POST and including some indicator that they really want it treated as some other verb.

He hadn't managed to actually impersonate another user, just post on someone's wall who hadn't friended him.

If something is called torture and on appeal they decided that they were wrong then surely that is the definition of "bordering on torture"?
Ask HN: should I enable a counter war with current and prospective employers?
I am aggressively recruited by software recruiters, and I am sure many of you are either in a similar situation or can be. I am in my mid-20s and have held only two software development positions, but I have learned that having other job offers on the table give me great leverage in negotiating compensation. I learned this when I handed in my resignation letter to my first employer, and they offered to counter the 50% pay increase. I declined because I did not want a counter war.

I am ambitious in both the value I hope to generate and the pay I hope to receive. I am concerned about having a healthy working relationship with whomever I work with and for. However, I am hearing the possibilities of offers with a 20% pay increase, and I want to avoid a contentious counter war which hurts my relationships while still seeking out high possibilities of better pay.

Do you have any experience navigating these tricky water that you would like to share?
>> "Stats are too coarse - There are one or two lovely graphs but it just doesn't give me the depth of knowledge I'd like to know about my audience - even Google Analytics only just makes the bar."

To me at least Medium is meant to appeal to the kind of bloggers who want to post something but don't want to maintain a blog. If you want detailed analytics and even Google Analytics are just good enough you don't sound like the sort of person Medium is for.

As for monetizing I could see Medium offering paid plans. Maybe using them to offer the kind of detailed analytics you want. Or maybe they will charge for mobile apps the way the NYTimes does with it's subscriptions. Judging by their focus on nicely laid out content I really doubt they would plaster it with ads.
Editorial curation has its problems too. Look at svbtle, which takes that approach - it feels like even more of a circlejerk. At least with an impartial algorithm choosing what goes on the homepage there's a certain degree of, well, impartiality.

Discovery is hard. What are you talking about when you suggest "a meritocratic approach to curating"? Crowdsourcing gets you what you have now. Trusted editors have worse problems.
I am very sad about Groklaw closing, but I understand perfectly how pj feels.

This is a sad day.
We are at an interesting juncture of history. It seems like Snowden has accomplished what he set out do to: raise awareness of government abuse and bring about positive change. Initial fears after the NSA leaks seemed to be that the public would become outraged and then forget about it. Clearly, this is not happening. A more secure Internet is needed, and instances like this highlight that necessity.
Imagine you're building a desktop application that does something like take a bunch of sensors from an attached serial port device and displays configuration of them + a table of their values updating in real time.

You wouldn't create every GUI element from scratch. You'd use the built-in Windows components (these sorts of apps are almost always windows-exclusive).

Now imagine you're building a web app that does the same thing, except now it's hosted on the embedded system and you get to it via web browser. You're going to want it to behave like a desktop application. Adopting client-side GUI frameworks like ExtJS was so common you wouldn't think twice about it. The reusable components make it much closer to a desktop application than a website.

If I were still building applications like that, I think I would still use ExtJS, warts and all. It's perfect for table-and-tree-driven application.

Nowadays, if I want to build SPAs, I use AngularJS. It's hard to overestimate just how much of a revelation that kind of client-side framework is.

TL;DR - In industry you often can't keep much server side. Instead you have to talk to lots of services and APIs directly from the browser. Additionally, you may need standardized GUI components that are familiar to people who only use desktop programs for the most part. Those two areas are admirably served by client-side frameworks like AngularJS in the first instance and ExtJS in the latter.
Yep, I have had several mini USB ports quickly destroy themselves, to the point that it affected my buying decisions. The accepted answer in the link perfectly explains why.

I don't know if Medium cares that much about their own content discovery/cliquing/etc. Sure, the content has to be accessible from the site in some fashion so web spiders can reach it--but really, as far as I can tell, Medium blogs seem built for the generation of standalone post pages that get shared via their authors self-promoting them on their Twitter feeds and Facebook pages, and then other people putting them up on social bookmarking websites like Reddit and HN. (Or at least, anecdotally, that's where I've found all the Medium articles I've ever read.)

You don't really visit someone's Medium blog. I've never seen anyone say, on their profile somewhere else, "here's a direct link to my blog; it's on Medium." It looks the same as every other Medium blog, after all; that's a strong disincentive to people promoting links their blog root, since they can't brand it--and I think that's intentional on Medium's part.

Instead, you just find someone's Medium posts shared in your feed on some sharing service, because someone you know linked to them. Which is really what the web has needed for a while, I think: a nice, clean, "here is a long standalone essay" hosting service which is ancillary to your more usual blogging, which occurs on FB/G+/Twitter/Tumblr/etc.

A geeky comparison, that might explain their value proposition, as I see it: FB/G+/Twitter/Tumblr/etc. are like a VM stack: you want to only hold tiny little objects on it, because reading those objects (scrolling past them) takes time and "processing cycles" for the reader. You don't want to pass huge ones around, because they'll take up a lot of space everywhere they go, and you have to copy them piece by piece (there have been novels written over Twitter, but they're a bitch to read or quote or export, etc.)

Medium, then, is a VM heap to stick large objects on, and then pass them by reference on the stack (FB/G+/Twitter/Tumblr/etc.) In effect, it's a pastebin with really nice styling, feed generation, and collaborative editorial features, not a "blogging service" per se. Make sense?
> You could say that the previous iPod dock connector was over-designed. But it wasn't, because it survived many years and many devices

That's not the test of overdesigned. It's overdesigned if the cost doesn't provide sufficient benefit - and it clearly didn't.
I don't understand. I said both have "no right".

I think perhaps it's my understanding of "right" that may be wrong.

I view a "right" as something I can contact the authorities and complain over in case it isn't fulfilled. For example property rights. If someone violates this right I can contact the police and they will enforce this right (remove the person from my property).

In that sense of the word, I don't think anyone should have a right to prevent someone from accessing their website, since this would entail being able to demand that they be kept out by an authority in case my attempt at banning them doesn't work.
Considering the language barrier, a slap on the wrist is less appropriate. Facebook could have used this opportunity to publicize explaining to Khalil that his bug finding techniques are not in accordance with the guidelines and garner good will by paying him the $500 as an exception to the rule. The media would be frantically covering how facebook in spite of its guidlines decided to thank the person who reported the bug and overlook an apparently innocent mistake. A missed opportunity on facebook's end.
I have no idea, I've never used it.
Something to keep in mind:

Privacy International criticised the climate that had led to Jones's decision. "The closing of Groklaw demonstrates how central the right to privacy is to free expression. The mere threat of surveillance is enough to [make people] self-censor", it said in a statement.
Or, the other valid solution:

1. Write the whole thing in valid C89

2. Prevent users from having to use Boost or the rest of the C++ nonsense

3. Users can now write trivial language bindings and link at runtime easily.

4. Profit.

C++ is a cool bro and all, but honestly the solutions you've listed make it annoying to work with this code outside of C++ on a platform with subgood template support.

Moving a simple utility library like ZMQ to C makes a great deal of sense.
The same way that message boards do this already on Freenet.

See https://freenetproject.org/understand.html.

Something like:

Publish a site using a USK (perhaps one per recipient), containing all encrypted messages sent recently. Update the site with an additional message when you need to send one. The recipient checks it for updates periodically.

I'm not sure if my understanding is inaccurate, but since Frost already achieves something like this, I don't see that it's automatically impossible such as what you seem to be inferring.

In fact, now that I look, there's: https://freenetproject.org/freemail.html

I'm dubious about the safety of using non-Freenet clients, but surely this demonstrates that it's possible to build a messaging system built over Freenet?
chesstempo.com, for tactics problems, is the chess site I visit most frequently.
I have noticed a tendency to refer to Edward Snowden as anything but 'whistleblower' in the American press. Now, however, even the BBC seems to be using the term 'fugitive'.

Strange as it may seem, the Danish press[0] refers to Mr Snowden as 'whistleblower', although my largest issue with this usage is that the word is not Danish, but I applaud the sentiment.

I wonder what the term used is in other countries.

[0] I can confirm that Politiken (left-leaning), Information (far left) and Berlingske Tidende (right wing) refers to Snowden as a whistleblower.
Do you believe that physical mail enjoys no reasonable expectation of privacy either?
What country are you in? Because as far as I can see, there has not been much offline protesting (participation-wise).

And online protests are mostly useless. 10.000 people in the streets raise more attention than 10.000.000 facebook likes.
That doesn't change the fact that the Guardian is standing up for press freedom, and they're doing it very well. I'm sure there are other newspapers that would have done the same, but that in no way lessens what the Guardian is doing.
Another problem with the blatant over use of terrorism and national security is that people are finally starting to realise it's bullshit. When there is actual legitimate concern of terrorism or fear for national security people will ignore it. No doubt they'll invent another phrase to get their point across and we'll go through the same cycle of overuse again.
This is a tragedy.

We need to reboot email. Encrypt everything, including metadata -- given current hardware, the client can easily bruteforce it from a list of known keys. Build some sort of easy key distribution tool (connecting via p2p, dns, whatever, just build a goddamn UI). Ask existing transports to relax their restrictions enough to let fully-encrypted mail through, and build some intelligent webmail interface for this (Mailpile, currently being kickstarted, is trying to do smt like that).

We've been dicking around with PGP since the 90s without making any real progress, we've traded security for convenience (GMail, Facebook), it's time somebody reverts the trend.
Here in the UK Bitcoins are treated as an electronic service. This means once you're registered for VAT (and you must past ~£70k revenue) you have to charge VAT on sales to:

- Anyone in the UK

- Individuals in the EU

And:

- Reverse charge VAT to business in the EU

Having to charge VAT on Bitcoins is a show stopper if you're intending to sell them unless you close your doors to EU customers.

Bitcoins need to be classed as VAT exempt, or small business in the UK trying to get into Bitcoin will always struggle to grow.
Background, from wikipedia:

"iMatix CEO Pieter Hintjens registered the zeromq.org domain in May 2007 and started the ØMQ project together with Martin Sustrik, who was its architect and lead developer through March 2012.

[..]

In March 2012, due to disagreements over control of the project, some of the original developers forked ØMQ as Crossroads I/O. Martin Sustrik has started nanomsg, a reboot of the ØMQ core library."
