PHP only works like that because Apache's default process model is process-per-request. Anything event based requires moving PHP in to multiple fcgi worker processes, and then you get limited by that.

A fast, non-shared interpreter could work very well in a threaded server, or a threaded backend to an event-based server.
Why would they fire real bullets at people they're not trying to detain? It's a good question, but they definitely do.
People with doubts about the process are going to tend to self select out of it. If they are sitting there with ambivalence about each release, at some point they aren't going to want to face it again.

I know at least 2 people plus myself who have the very same problem with Gmail IMAP and new Mail.app.
The Guardian is owned by Guardian Media Group plc, which is a UK public limited company headquartered in London. GMG plc is owned by The Scott Trust Ltd., another UK public limited company. So far as I can tell, it is not true that the Guardian is owned by a holding company offshore in the Caymans, nor that the Guardian is owned by a company that pays no tax. (Except that GMG has made a loss in many recent years and therefore paid no corporation tax. So far as I can tell, these are genuine losses and it seems reasonable not to pay corporation tax if you are not making a profit.)

It does appear that in 2008 the Guardian Media Group bought a magazine company called Emap, and set up a company in the Caymans as part of some (allegedly quite standard) scheme to avoid some of the stamp duty they'd otherwise have paid in the acquisition. Maybe that's dodgy or maybe it's just standard operating procedure (in which case something is dodgy but it might not be in any useful sense GMG's fault), but it's a very different matter from what you claimed.

I am in any case unable to follow your logic at one key point. Let's suppose for the sake of argument that the Guardian is owned by a tax-avoiding holding company. What exactly is the connection between that and the statement that "left and right is pretty meaningless these days"?

(Full disclosure: I read newspapers seldom but the Guardian less seldom than others. I do not work in law, the media, or the civil service, I do not have a PR agency or any mates who are spin doctors, and I would hazard a guess that my pay is within a factor of two of yours one way or the other. So far as I know, I have no financial or professional interest in the success of the Guardian or its allied companies.)

It's clear to me (and I hope everyone) that the executive branch and particularly the DoD is not transparent.

While most laws exist simultaneously in the distinct (and sometimes even contradictory) forms of statutes, rules, and operational norms, foreign intelligence laws start out by necessity with fuzzy statutory foundations, and end by necessity with secret operational norms. This situation is indeed exacerbated by the DoD's (and, I suppose, FISC's) unwillingness to be clear about its rules and rulemaking process.

But this is an article about the use of surveillance evidence as criminal evidence. So, my refined question would be, in what sense does this executive branch have secret rules or norms that apply to the criminal justice system?
But what does it "do". What is causing these people to start engaging with me? (I signed up and am completely bewildered)

You got a downvote from me for this post - personal attacks are not helpful, and speculation about someone being human filth is really not called for, unless you don't believe in having an army at all? Even if you don't I think you should tone down your hatred. You've also distorted the OP in your rush to condemn them. For example:

We're all responsible for the things done in our names,

Only a completely insane person would claim that the soldier and I are equally culpable.

The first statement does not imply the second.

We are all, to a greater or lesser degree, responsible for the actions of our government, and for the wars it prosecutes. You may feel powerless in your opposition to war, but if you feel outraged by that, spare some thought for those half a world away who have had their grandmother or other members of their family killed by a drone.

[EDIT - I see you've removed the reference to human filth now]

It looks like they're actually talking about making it a 5 or 6 seater. There is a strong direct relationship between maximum weight of a plane and the cost/fuel consumption of the engine required to power that plane. A plane as affordable as ours is only feasible right now as a single seater, but hopefully one day with enough volume we can get a 2-seater out in the same price range.

Tinkering with Tinker Like an Artisan
I want to build a marketplace for electronic cigarette vendors/individuals. I've been a vendor for almost 3 years and have a unique product which is even more effective than others in helping people quit smoking (even though we are not allowed to market it this way). I think that looming regulation will destroy a lot of small businesses, so I am trying to find a way to respond to that.

Getting someone to take payments is really hard though. Balanced just changed their terms, so I am really demoralized but still keeping at it. My options seem to be to become a payment processor myself (expensive and I have no clue what to do) or wait until a similar service comes along and make sure to get in quick so I can get grandfathered in before they change the terms.

If anyone has some insight on payments and wants to help me learn the industry or if you smoke and want to quit, let me know.

This is simply false, as most mail clients really do support IMAP/POP. The statement caught my eye too. No need to get all huffy about someone pointing this out.

I've been working on PLUNK. It's a Technology Consultant Firm which specializes in helping the entertainment industry.

I've been going to a lot of conferences where the reoccurring theme is the tremendous divide in technology and the entertainment world. Either they don't know, don't care, or are too overwhelmed to know where to begin.

PLUNK will help them build applications that will deliver meaningful experiences with their audience. Whether it's simply helping to improve upon their social network to building a fully customizable application. Their audience is already engaging them, it's time to talk back.

Perhaps a better statement would be - The blame for the cost of war doesn't go entirely to the people who pull the triggers?

Surely those who order the killing, those who pay for it, and those who permit it by voting for the war, bear some of the responsibility?

As Ye Sow, So Shall Ye Reap
I was thinking about doing something similar for a bit :).

If I may make a couple of suggestions - I put in 24 ATMEGA328P-PU-ND. It found where they were, it found the lowest price. They're $3.16 PU - total ~$76. If I get one more, 25 of them, I hit the price break, and my order total come to $50. Definitely a better deal. When I'm getting parts, the price breaks always seem to make me spend more, but there's situations where it wouldn't (like above). Adding in recognition for those would be good.

Another suggestion (this is what I was going to work on, but I've moved onto other things) - create a package deal - PCB, parts, stencils, etc, all in one. Have rolling part shipments (orders every Friday). Get reels of components, fulfill some yourself - but charge the live lowest price (you make a little bit from the reel discount, they save a little bit from your utility). You handle the money in between, and disperse it out to the lowest combined cost. Having a one stop shop where I could dump a schematic & board file and get back a PCB, parts, and stencils would be pretty awesome.

Proper (https://properapp.com) - Easy to understand contracts for freelancers.

Cool because it makes the process of creating, sending, and signing freelance contracts much less difficult.

Ultimate goal is to get it to a point where a freelancer can pick from a series of pre-loaded templates related to their type of work (e.g. a brochure website, developing an application, wedding photography, etc.) and send their client a contract (that's viable) in minutes.

Also makes signing easy for clients by just using a single button click.
Pretty close.

Stripe is really just used for comparison purposes. Using Stripe makes you PCI compliant, and using TrueVault makes you HIPAA compliant. Also it demonstrates that TrueVault is not a consumer facing document storage solution (not a HIPAA compliant Dropbox). You access data in TrueVault via our API and native clients.

Bottom line, if your application needs to be HIPAA compliant it’s a pain. If you push your protected health information (PHI) to TrueVault, then you don’t have to spend months and months developing your own HIPAA compliant infrastructure.

Those are potential customers you are yelling at. Really smart early adopters with influence. And a very large number of people are watching.
Whether they are right or wrong, we are all watching for how you handle the situation.

Between this and an avoided answer to whether you keep passwords in the cloud you've lost one potential customer.
First, the idea that the "you're dead to me thing" was just a funny joke is disingenuous. Your meaning was plain.

Second, if this person is actually your friend, and not, I don't know, some kind of minion, you'll respect that they have their own brain and their own moral compass and they're capable of making their own judgements. Maybe you'll even be comforted by the fact that you'll occasionally disagree, as those events validate the notion that we have free will and are not simply deterministically arriving at the same conclusions from the same stimuli.

We're dragging this out a bit now. Obviously, I don't believe that you'd cut off your friend because they made a career decision you didn't approve of.

The blame for the cost of war doesn't go to to the weapons or the people who pull the triggers.

OP explicitly exempts people who voluntarily agree to fight wars for profit from blame for the wars. That is insane.

If all of the kilograms were undergoing radioactive decay, then the ones that traveled back and forth would be younger, and thus heavier, because of the twin paradox. You'd probably need a new undetectable form of radioactive decay and relativistic trains to make this plausible.

I'm building a distributed network, called Aether, that allows people to create and participate in reddit-like forums anonymously. It's fully encrypted. Take a look at http://www.getaether.net

It's cool because:

* It's anonymous. The posts jump from one node to another with no author information except a nickname. They cannot be traced back to the origin.

* It's encrypted with TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA cipher suite using 2048bit RSA keys. The connections most likely cannot be eavesdropped.

* It gives people an unfiltered, unmodified feed of information directly from the sources, with no intervention or censorship.

* It's unmoderated, so there is nobody that's deciding what you should and should not see. You can block people, however. Every client has a threshold of blocks for each node after which it stops showing that node to the user.

* Zero infrastructure.

This is a tool that can be used to either experience / exercise full free speech here in the west, or can be used for more essential two-way mass communication purposes where other venues are blocked, banned or self-censoring.

> in what sense does this executive branch have secret rules or norms that apply to the criminal justice system?

It considers itself above the law to the point of being able to kill Americans without trial.

That aside, 40 years ago the NSA stated that it was above the law because it was created by Executive decree and tus not bound by statutory law:

"NSA does not have a statutory charter; its operational responsibilities are set forth exclusively in executive directives first issued in the 1950s. One of the questions which the Senate asked the Committee to consider was the "need for specific legislative authority to govern the operations of...the National Security Agency."

According to NSA's General Counsel, no existing statutes control, limit, or define the signals intelligence activities of NSA. Further, the General Counsel asserts that the Fourth Amendment does not apply to NSA's interception of Americans' international communications for foreign intelligence purposes." [1]

Ask HN: What's your experience of working with git flow?
What's your experience of working with git flow and similar approaches to branching which assume long living (i.e. days or weeks not hours) branches?

Personally, I am quite skeptical about them

- It makes you less agile, it makes experimentation-feedback cycle longer (especially if you have set up continuous deployment process).

- It complicates continuous integration (requires special support from CI server).

- The longer living branch is, the more time you spend merging.

However, I like being able to write good commit documentation, rearrange/merge commits, however, it seems not to worth it for me.

That's my bet, too: that they expect constitutionality to be challenged eventually and this is them moving to pick their battleground.
That would be a sane statement.

libgroove[1] - a generic music player backend C library.

The goal is to provide a powerful yet simple API for building a music player app. It's the backend for Groove Basin[2], a music player app written in Node.js with a web interface.

It's cool because everybody who uses it as the backend for their music player app benefits from the shared maintenance burden and increased robustness.

No, I'm sorry! The "social etiquette" on each social media channel is different to begin a conversation. For Twitter, it can be as simple as a "favorite". The system doesn't tweet or follow people.
I felt your personal attack (now deleted in a stealth edit) stepped over the line. It's IMO fine to disagree and call viewpoints bullshit, but I don't think you should insult or speculate on the character and profession of other posters.

For JScomplexity, you should round your complexity values :).

Halstead difficulty: 4.666666666666666

Do you do storage on the back end? Can you target a particular open source project to analyze it? Can you target languages other than JS?

Make a Github bot that makes pull requests that analyze a project's complexity, areas where it's more complex (refactor), areas where there's fluff, projects that don't follow 'standards'. That'd be cool if it was an opt-in thing, like I add a "ComplexityBot.MD" blank text file, complexity bot comes by, analyzes my project, pull requests the complexitybot.MD file, gives me some nice data, comes by again whenever it gets some down time and updates the analysis.
