You can use Pushpin in front of Django (or any web framework, whether event-driven or not) to implement realtime features.

http://blog.fanout.io/2013/04/09/an-http-reverse-proxy-for-r...

The thesis behind this architecture is that most realtime web applications can be reduced to request/response and publish/subscribe messaging patterns. Instead of looking at Django as a legacy framework, look at it as 50% of the solution (read: request/response). Pushpin provides the rest.

This article gives advice that is not only bad, but dangerous. You should never, under any circumstances store a password in a format that can be reversed. Doing so for the password to someone's primary email address borders on criminal - a comprised email can be used to break almost any other account someone may have.

If there's no other way to build the app, don't build it. It's the only ethical thing to do.
Of course it is. The gas tax (federal anyway) hasn't gone up even in nominal terms since 1993, even though CPI has gone up 61% since then and the real-dollar price of gas has tripled. Since the government's cut of fuel price has been shrinking for 20 years, so has the fund available for fixing roads.

It's a ridiculously titled article, but the point about the distribution of bitcoin is a valid one. In the U.S. for example, 34.6% of wealth is owned by the top 1%.

Let's reflect on the difference:

- In the bitcoin network, 80% of the wealth is owned by 1% of bitcoin holders.

- In the U.S. 84.9% of wealth is owned by the wealthiest 20% of Americans.

The uneven distribution of wealth in the United States presents a gross reality. If bitcoin were to reach mass adoption (and surmount other forms of currency) and the top 1% didn't budge from their holdings, it would create an even more incredible inequality where we would potentially have people richer than the U.S. government. Good for them, but not so good for the stability of bitcoin.

They do not need to be mutually exclusive. A mobile app I maintain, for instance, appends each page as you scroll, but it also displays the page number of the content you are seeing and allows you to jump to specific pages.
Well, it really kicked off in ~2009 when this story popped: http://www.eastbayexpress.com/oakland/yelp-and-the-business-...

Many owners alleged that they received cold calls from Yelp about negative reviews, offering refuge in exchange for buying advertising on yelp.

Yelp didn't have much to say short of denials, but rumours of it ran pretty rampant. Here's a recent response to them by yelp: http://officialblog.yelp.com/2013/05/no-yelp-doesnt-extort-s...

Of course, business owners are alleging foul play in the black box filtering algorithm, not the deletion per say, but that's sort of how the rumour evolved anyway.

Too much shit has being thrown at yelp, and admittingly not all of it has stuck, but I wouldn't trust anything on there. I don't trust their black box.
I've been using PassHash "http://passhash.connorhd.co.uk/" for a while now and I really like it. If I understand your application correctly, PassHash does essentially the same thing as NullPass. I run PassHash using a local copy of PassHash so I don't have to worry about MITM attacks.
"In most places the amount of fuel tax collected far exceeds that which is spent on road infrastructure. "

Lol wut no. Were you talking about places other than USA? Because here in the USA, billions of dollars are transferred every year from general funds into the highway administration because the fuel tax is not even close to sufficient for maintenance of highways. This is also true at the state level, but to a much higher ratio.

“Nationwide in 2010, state and local governments raised $37 billion in motor fuel taxes and $12 billion in tolls and non-fuel taxes, but spent $155 billion on highways,” writes the Tax Foundation’s Joseph Henchman. Another $28 billion of that $155 billion comes from revenue from the federal gas tax.

'Dogs and cats inherently know they don't like each other'

Flat out wrong. Dogs inherently have a hunting and chasing instinct, so in the wild a dog will try and spook a cat to make it run, and then chase it and try and kill it if it does. If the cat doesn't run, or better yet, fights back (I've seen multiple cats do this), the dog will back off. And cats know enough to be concerned when a giant animal approaches, which is likely to trigger a fight or flight response, if the cat doesn't feel sufficiently protected where it is.

And many people have both dogs and cats living together, even in some instances sleeping together. I suspect the dog views the cat as a pack animal (and important to the owner, the alpha), and the cat views the dog as a source of warmth, but that is still very different from "inherently know(ing) they don't like each other".
I know empirically this is false.
Really happy about this news. I cannot imagine how much effort it takes to fight against the misconceptions and prejudices of various local groups to achieve this massive milestone.

I am still worried though.

I have seen large groups of people who still refuse to vaccinate the newborns in their community. The ignorance and misinformation that is widespread even in the supposedly well educated stratas of society is just mind boggling.

I know many well educated people (some are teachers!) who have not given ANY vaccination to their newborns.

A few months ago, my father (a doctor) had a visitor from his native village. The visitor (who was a distant relative too) had come to consult dad about his ailments. One of his hands was disabled. While we were having coffee, the guy asked dad about the polio vaccination drive that is happening in the village and how he and the others are not vaccinating the infants. They believe that America is trying to sterilize muslims to reduce the population. They believe that vaccination can cause autism etc. So dad reminded our visitor that his hand is disabled because he had caught polio in his childhood. STILL, the dude was arguing with my dad. Needless to say, I was furious at the state of affairs for the next few days :(
Or just recognize that the function contains the yield keyword. That said, `function*` isn't all that bad given what you get in return.

What sort of data structure do you recommend they use to efficiently reconstruct older story orderings?
Depends on configuration, but most setups propagate O_DIRECT all the way through - otherwise it would be impossible to run many apps, such as DBs in VM.
Recruiting is a huge industry. They are obviously not all bad or useless.

Most small companies simply cannot afford to employ a full-time in-house recruiter. If you were running a startup, with a thousand things to do daily, you too would outsource the basic search and screening function.

> Am currently reading "Thinking Fast and Slow" by Kahneman, this is a perfect example of a base-rate fallacy (something addressed in the book).

I disagree that Dewie's individual experience constitutes a "base-rate". If you're referring to something else as a "base-rate", you'll have to spell it our more clearly for me, as I'm having difficulty seeing how to apply it validly here.

> Absent any other evidence, one should assume the amount of complaining a language would get is about proportional to how widely it's used.

That's reasonable, and my own experiences and anecdotes don't turn out to be capital D Data. However, neither are Dewie's experiences and anecdotes. And what I would argue isn't reasonable is assuming the amount of complaining that one individual developer hears about a language we get is about proportional to how widely it's used. The data set is far too small to extrapolate that far.

My own experience is that the amount of complaining about a language I hear about varies wildly by what my peers in my communities happen to be using at the time. I went years without hearing any complaints about PHP... and then someone gets employed writing it and it spikes up to the language I hear the most complaints about. I'd be very absurd to assume that PHP went from not used very widely at all to the most used language in that same timeframe!

While I cast a wide net, my time is finite and I pay more attention to some communities than others, quite understandably biasing what I hear significantly.

> So the lack of complaining (asserted by the parent) about C# might be as much a reflection on how widely it's used, than on the language itself.

Granted, but "might be" is a far cry from "is" or "should be assumed to be". Indeed, I wouldn't suggest that "C# might generally be less rant-inducing" to be worthy of assuming either. Dewie "might be" not hanging around .NET devs, but even that's a terribly poor assumption -- I know plenty of devs who don't complain about languages I consider absolutely terrible.
The work done by the Gates foundation is admirable. But the $1.2 billion was donated to the Rotary International for the Global Polio Eradication initiative, not exclusively to be used in India. In fact, it's not even clear if any of that was used in India at all. Moreover India itself has donated $1.3 billion for the Global Polio Eradication initiative.
thats what you took away from this? really?!

No, I meant the respect part. Thom is known for his cryptic ambiguity and often surreal sentence formation, so it's doubtful his opinion would be held in higher regard than anyone else's.
I think I have proof that it was compromised, and it's not just maintenance.
Has this been confirmed?

I'm thinking of writing a blog about it?
You misunderstand how "unadvertised jobs" work. They are "sold" through word of mouth. Unless you're within the employer's personal network - and your message does not indicate it - you'd never find out. Your speculative inquiry would not get a response because they don't know you, and they prefer to give the job to someone who comes with a referral.
Your last sentense made me realise why ARM64 no longer has conditional instructions. Obviously it's designed for higher power situations than most ARM cores, and OOO is an important part of doing that efficiently. reduced instruction deps == better OOO.
First of all, for your information, the benchmark code and details are already there: https://github.com/c9s/router-benchmark sorry I forgot to put the link. :p

We firstly tested the pure dispatching benchmark by a simple benchmark tool. (without ab), code is here.

https://github.com/c9s/router-benchmark/blob/master/code/dis...

Tests including klein, ham, aura, symfony/routing. This tests pure dispatching speed, so the benchmark does not includes cache.

The dispatching benchmark result is here:

https://github.com/c9s/router-benchmark/blob/master/code/dis...

The benchmark with apache is just to show the comparison result (which shares the same configurations).

Pux is basically written in C extension, which reduces the overhead to load classes from PHP files. Also it does a different strategy on route dispatching. to compare the routes as fast as possible, pux uses indexed array to store the route pattern, pcre flag. (In PHP internals, zend_hash_index_find is faster than zend_hash_find)

it's not just iterating all routes in a big loop like Symfony.
Your style of commenting is not what this site is about. Go back to Reddit, I'm done.
> Sure, Ivan. Just feed into the stereotypical myth that women just don't want to program - because their female brains can't handle anything beyond cooking, cleaning, and child raising. Is that what you're trying to say, broski?

I did not say anything anything like that. Society is filled with people completely capable of doing an activity who choose not to do it. Despite what you suggest, preference and capability are different things.

Most of us on HN are lucky to live in a society where both sexes can choose the career they pursue. Let's be careful not to fault one sex because on average they chose to not make the same career choices that we made.
I disagree. While nobody may read every single article in a paper, we can comfortably scan all of it and decide which ones are worth reading. That is what the author is referring to, not the act of literally reading everything in your infinite TL...which is what you allude to by saying "I don't think many people ever completed a newspaper every day."
Well, I would trade off older story ordering for consistency. Or better yet, rather than return Expired Link, return the "current" story ordering.
I was about to post about it.

I would definitely like to see this one sorted out.
Here's the man credited to have started the polio eradication program in 1994.

the use of word "started" and the structure "the man" seems invisible to you?

This is a prime example of Pushy Politics, which has been not just used, but over abused by fanatics. Distorting History, and if so much as someone (like me here) points it out... "a man can't make a mistake?" attitude then, makes these people feel invincible.

Thus...I must quote Plato here:

You can forgive a child for staying in darkness, but the real tragedy of life is when men choose to stay away from light.
Better tools can, thus the (cheap) qualifier on my comment.
I would go with tragically out of touch, but then again maybe I'm sane.

No one's asking for older story orderings. I'd prefer newer story orderings.
I find it hard to believe your friend doesn't know a single person who will listen to him talk. I think more likely he is afraid to show vulnerability to people he knows.

In my experience I've always become better friends with someone who has shared with me or who I have shared something personal with. Through showing vulnerability, which takes courage, we build strength.

I've also been surprised at how accepting people are when you confide in them. People are much more sympathetic then we think.

I'm not usually a fan of Ted talks but theres a good one on this subject, you might want to show him http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCvmsMzlF7o

That being said here is the national suicide prevention hotline 1-800-273-8255 just incase its an emergency. I know people who have called before it's not a big deal they don't send out police to your house or anything like that, if anything you may have to wait on hold for a while, but the people who work there are saints
Although this is a significant problem, it’s probably better to use the bottom-of-page links:

- “Bugs” (in this case, already seems to be known and talked about; see [1]).

- “Feature Requests” for anything that isn’t a bug.

The alternative would be to charge everybody ~$5 then you'd have a very large chunk of the voting population angry that they have to subsidize the cost of an electric vehicle.

You have to also remember that most people that would be taxed cannot afford to purchase an electric vehicle and that seems like an unfair burden to put on them.

Much of the damage is caused by large trucks anyways. What SHOULD happen is that all of the states get together and charge large transport trucks their fair share of their damage to the roads.

That gives me a good idea for a startup: Electric, low damage to roads, autonomous transport trucks. They could deliver everything including mail, oranges, amazon packages, furniture, shit, even people. The company that delivers that product is going to make boat-fucking-loads.

They are continuations stored on the server (not a Lisp-specific feature). There is a limit on the number of continuations stored, which is why older ones come up as unknown or expired.

This has been there since Day 1 and will probably never be changed.

In the extension text, they say: "This extension is ad supported, you can disable your support by going to the options and making a one-time donation. We depend on your support, but we understand if you would prefer to withhold it."

This, from what I can tell, plays within the bounds of Chrome's policy on extensions.

(I also spent some time looking at the extension source to verify that the only annoying thing they do is inject ads according to this whitelist: http://goo.gl/3WAej6 Nothing else caught my eye. )
A better argument could be made that archaic anti-drug laws killed Daniel. It's the nature of an uncontrolled black market for nefarious types to cut drugs with dangerous substances to increase profit margins. In this case it was Levamisole.

From wikipedia:
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levamisole#Toxicity)

Levamisole may be quantified in blood, plasma, or urine as a diagnostic tool in clinical
poisoning situations or to aid in the medicolegal investigation of suspicious deaths
involving adulterated street drugs. About 3% of an oral dose is eliminated unchanged
in the 24-hour urine of humans. A post mortem blood levamisole concentration of 2.2 mg/l
was present in a woman who died of a cocaine overdose.[

So this isn't the first time this has happened.

I really feel for the family: but if they want justice and to avoid this happening again, a frank admission that preventing people from experimenting is virtually impossible needs to be made. In the interests of public health it's preferable that at least there be some control to ensure people aren't ingesting poisons.

This site isn't actively developed, and hasn't been, as far as I know, since it was established in 2007.

This is intentional. I forget the specific rationale, however.

So no, to answer your question (though I'm not pg), it likely won't be fixed.
The point of taxing gasoline to pay for road upkeep is, from what I can tell, because it accurately reflects 'how much you drive' -- sort of. Perhaps a shift needs to be made in what is taxed and how, in order to accommodate petrol-free vehicles.

One option is tolls. Nobody likes tolls.

Another option is this fee - but it doesn't accurately reflect the wear on a road generated by the car.

A tire tax? Higher inspection fees? The latter would discourage the cars that need inspections from getting inspections due to the cost.

Maybe we need to wholly rethink how we fund public transportation infrastructure - not just roads, but railways and bridges and aeronautics.

Isn't Norvig's spell corrector a really bare-bones implementation that he wrote while bored on a plane? Like, not really industrial-strength or anything. It's a very cool demo, but I wouldn't consider it worth benchmarking against, or anything... unless I've misunderstood what's going on here.
There are other issues with infinite scrolling (such as not being able to re-find your place, etc), however dissatisfaction is not one I experience. Maybe it's because I don't usually finish things for the sake of finishing. I'm more inclined to keep reading something until I get bored or want to do something else. I usually don't make it to the bottom of the front page of Hacker News or all the way through about 3/4 of news articles.
They are not going to make improvements to Hacker News. They have proven that.

They don't have to fix it or make any improvements. They can run a very poorly performing site with no features and a horrible appearance, because they are entrenched, and they literally own quite a large portion of their userbase.

Unfortunately no matter how many people invent software that does the same thing as Hacker News but works much better and offer it up for free, nothing will be done.

The owner of the site has too much invested in its technology stack (Lisp) and its particular implementation and appearance. The improvements necessary probably require going back on some of those fundamentals, which is never going to happen, because they are too proud.
