Ah yes, the ol' "alone in a crowd" feeling. You're surrounded by people, but you can't relate to them and don't see them as being able to relate to you, even though it's statistically likely that some of them feel similar to you and put on a good face.
That's a good point. Conversely, when you run a test and get a result which is "not statistically significant", that doesn't mean that the measured effect is not significant. For example, if I test a drug and say "it does not cause cancer (p=0.17)", that's wrong. Yes, the correlation with cancer is not statistically significant, but it is significant in the normal sense of the word.
At the same time, there is a point to be made for having things in a single process - this makes it much easier to ensure that the crucial parts of the init system are available and working.
Now it seems silly but while I was going through the thread many responses had something worded similarly. After reading so many of those comments I was probably primed to see negativity everywhere.

It's not THIS it's THAT. (It's not sugar, it's sugar in excess.)
Huh. First I've heard of that idea. I wonder if it's generational?

I did notice a while back that I tend to be more careful with capitalization and punctuation the more invested I am with the conversation. It's a pretty good predictor for me, actually.

>a better Python than Python

As someone who's quite the Ruby fan, this is the only one on the list I'd object to.

There's a very real philosophical difference between the two, which I'd identify as being their attitude to "magic". Ruby is OK with a certain level of increased complexity and semi-hidden behaviour if it means more expressivity. Python, on the other hand, prefers simplicity and explicitness.

It's not the most radical divide, and I don't really think either one is the One True Philosophy; they're just different. And neither is better at embodying the other's philosophy.

If you think pry is a cool tool for Ruby, you gotta see any smalltalk platform.
I believe its written in node & socketio. Don't know what database though. Played it yesterday when it was originally posted on HN.
LLVM GC support has been fairly weak, however Apple has been working on using LLVM in JavaScriptCore (FTL project), which requires that, so it should be getting better. I have no idea if this project is related to that in any way.

Idea: add "hash=" attribute to HTML anchor tags?
Just had an idea that I wanted to share:

Why not add a hash attribute to HTML anchor tags? This would enable secure web sites to also secure links to off-site hosted resources such as scripts from CDNs by specifying their (e.g. SHA-256) cryptographic hash. If the content does not match that hash, an error occurs.

It would also make it easy to host large or heavily-trafficked data on fast non-SSL CDN servers and then securely reference it without worrying about it being MITMed, or implement an additional layer of intra-site security even within an SSL-enabled site for defense in depth. Browsers could permit non-SSL data to be linked without a warning provided it was hash-authenticated.

Thoughts?

It's good to see advancement on the ux side of 2fa. Many of the other players in this space provide such a cognitive burden that scares average users back to passwords. I'm excited to see where this one goes.
More helpful, less of an ass, please.
People frequently create new accounts to troll or astroturf.
I see much less of that on Facebook than elsewhere.

Nobody is suggesting that meanness first entered the world with computer-mediated anonymity. They're just asking whether it increases the frequency, depth, and persistence of it.
Sure. Your first guess is correct - I do indexing of backend documents.

I fetch a steady stream of FOIA documents, close to the maximum possible each week, and PDF/OCR them. I expose a web interface to the analysts I work with, to help them gather up documents for further analysis.

The second guess would probably be more interesting to most people.
How is that two factor any more? You've broken the security model. You now have only a knowledge factor, no possession factor.

The whole point of two-factor authentication is to make it so you need two things of two different types. You reduced this problem to having two passwords (two things of the same type).
I don't think we're that close. If you're looking from Java, yeah, Objective-C looks pretty close to Smalltalk; if you're looking from Smalltalk, Objective-C is a little dot on the horizon. Objective-C is just at its core much more low-level than Smalltalk and considers that a feature rather than a bug.

If you're interested in the idea though, F-Script was actually pretty close to "Smalltalk for Cocoa," though it's more designed as a developer tool for Objective-C programs than an applications development language in its own right. It has an object browser and everything.

A hundred people to work on Asana? Asana is a great task manager, but that's a lot of people. Basecamp for example has 43 people, which still strikes me as a lot of people. I guess having mobile apps requires at least a few people working on each there. A backend team, and the webapp team. 100 seems like a lot though.

This is true, but I'm not sure how it's relevant. Alternating post-sources can still be mean about third parties.
Probably because some store features have been missing up to 1.0, like backup/restore without knowing database internals. (yes, rsync did the job, but only because you knew the list of guarantees that makes it possible).

Also, Lucene at its core is an Index. Changing the query strategy might require reindexing. It is perfectly valid to throw data at it, build the index and throw away the source. You will just never get it back again.

While ES can be used and tuned as a store just fine, it is not necessarily its raison d'etre.
It's definitely not a marshmallow test, especially if it conditions you to be bored and drift off in classroom-like settings. Especially when getting more advanced concepts earlier on pays compound interest by exposing you to the topics you're more likely to explore on your own.

(A rough hack around not being able to skip a grade (if the institution is inflexible) is to supplement the school's curriculum with textbooks from other countries. China and Russia both have textbooks with harder problem sets for the same topics, which are great prep material if you've joined, say, a math team. What makes me sad is, that's their regular material for the same age group, not some super-advanced track.)

And gods forbid, the day comes when the kid who's held back by not skipping a grade goes to college and finds that their new peers had gotten more advanced material in their other schools while they themselves whiled away their years being inadequately challenged. And they're now hopelessly behind, or at least have to paddle that much harder just to keep up. There is no purpose to holding a kid back against their will. If my parents stopped me from skipping a grade, it would only have been punishment for doing nothing wrong. And I would have fought them tooth and nail.
I mostly use the dot randomly and it doesn't mean anything. Although, I'll use ALL CAPS if I want to drive a point through. Interesting though that a dot can have so much meaning.
Can you link to any article about this? I haven't been able to find a good read on this subject.
I randomly alternate between it as well and had no idea about this either, despite being a member of Generation Z. Though an article on the same topic was posted previously on HN.

That's probably because I don't ever write text messages. All of my communication that involves typing goes on in IRC, Skype groups and news sites/message boards.
Undoubtedly slow(er) to write, but I think "slow to read", as in comprehend, needs some evidence.
This is the first article I've done in this format. I would love to hear feedback on it :-)
ES seems to have ability to run analytic queries. I have read about people using it as an OLAP solution [1], although I have not yet read anyone describe their experience. In that respect how does ES analytics capabilities compare against:

1) Dremel clones [2] like Impala & Presto (for near real-time, ad hoc analytic queries over large datasets)

2) Lambda Architecture [3] systems (where queries are known up-
front, but need to run against a large dataset)

Does anyone here have experience ES in such usecases, beyond the free text searching one ES is well-known for?

SRP doesn't solve the problem with having to remember (or store) good unique passwords for each site. It does help with the authenticating password over insecure connection but SSL solves that for most sites. It doesn't solve the problem of securely storing passwords; the value that is stored can be brute forced to get password and is equivalent to cleartext password for any SRP using site.
Well I mean that's Smalltalk: Things that look like magic in Ruby look as simple and explicit as Python in Smalltalk.

Faceted navigation best practices
It's not really about discipline. If you're "starving" (low blood sugar), you eat big to stop that feeling. There's few people who can will themselves to suffer instead, and really why should they?

Better to avoid the problem entirely in the first place. If you don't feel hungry (stable blood sugar) eating becomes a moot point/routine task.
Well I wasn't really suggesting it as a good thing necessarily. I like the spirit that ethical/competency self-regulation instills in the legal profession, but I'm not sure whether the ultimate market impact is a good thing or not. On one hand, I think the financial industry has suffered from a lack of such regulation (e.g. Goldman advising clients to buy certain products while taking an adverse position themselves). On the other hand, the potential liability and need for insurance creates barriers to entry, driving up prices. Given the staggering potential losses from software, professional malpractice insurance probably wouldn't be cheap. But on the third, alien, hand, I think licensure also has a downward effect on the cost of legal services, by making lawyers more fungible than they would otherwise be (in the absence of licensure, the market might come to rely on an even rarer signal of credibility).

The economic dynamics of licensed professions are a bit more complex than either side of the "developers should be professionals" debate really appreciates.

I don't think it's any more accurate to say the average case is having to cycle through ten passwords to login to a site. Generally, I remember my passwords for most sites, and for the few I don't get right on the first try, I'm usually able to get in by the second. And yes, I have more than two passwords I use.
I agree with you, almost every website needs a search server on the backend for people to search their document base, especially for enterprise intranet. Maybe enterprises are using commercial products, such as SharePoint. How about the rest of the small businesses and websites? Maybe the learning curve is steep for every website to adopt so far.
The issue with the regex seems to be the nested * matcher in the last part, paired with the grouping: ([\/\w \.-]* )*
(whitespace added to re to circumvent italisizing by HN).

IIRC this was a pathological case with perl5.0 regexes as well.

Removing one of the redundant * or marking the grouping to be non-capturing with ?: seems to fix the problem.

Looks like the regex optimizer could use some love.
Basically correct, except for the price of $50K. In the early 1980s I had a Xerox Lisp Machine (cost about $25K with extra RAM). Xerox let me use a Smalltalk license for a while for evaluation - I forget the exact price, but it was about $5K.

Now, nearly all programming languages are free :-)

Hello, I'm one of the Statamic developers.

Statamic is both a content management system (in that it has a nice, responsive, client-friendly admin area for managing content) and a website-building platform (in that the admin area is completely optional if you're someone that's comfortable with writing content files, and you can fully create and maintain a site easily without it). A license gets you the software itself and allows you to run it on one domain.

At the moment, there's a folder where you place all of your content files. I've seen people play with syncing that up with systems like Dropbox and even maintaining that folder as its own git submodule. There's no ability to do that automatically at this time, but I bet someone could figure out how to make that happen.

It seems out marketing message could be a bit more direct in that instance, certainly noted!
I hate how misleading these silly pop science reporting articles can be.

We know there's water on Mars, that's not interesting. What's new here is that there may be liquid water on Mars at present. That's pretty fascinating because it opens up the possibility of there not just having been life on Mars but there continuing to be life on Mars. Which, I would say, is actually kind of a big deal.

Oh wow, apologies for the misstatement. I glanced at the docs, features, and github, and didn't see any sign or mention of a DB dependency, so I assumed they had written their own.

Sorry to the baasbox db team for the incorrect assumption. But it might be a good idea to make the underlying db a bit clearer, assuming I didn't miss any obvious mention of it (which is quite possible).

orientdb is a fine db, indeed it's one I was thinking of when I was wondering (incorrectly) why they wrote their own.

Thanks for your correction.
if you have a very large slice of Structs and then you end up with only a pointer to one of the Structs, the entire slice will be retained. This is also true for slices of Byte.

For non-gophers, a slice is roughly a bounds-checked Vector.
When it comes to diction, there are always a variety of choices. You make those decisions based on whichever word or phrase works best given the circumstances.

It's no different than choosing the most appropriate programming language for a given project; plenty will work, but ultimately one is the most logical given who will be writing it, reading it, using it, maintaining it, deploying it, etc.
That's because your short statement is not really representative of good statistical practice. For example, people spend a lot of time researching http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalization_error, and models like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probably_approximately_correct_... worry a lot about things like VC dimension exactly because they characterize the behavior of statistical models to unseen data. Or maybe you don't think of prediction as "behavior under unseen data"?
Considering your background, that's encouraging news.
It's not that the components themselves draw half the power, it's that you don't need to provide as much power to cool them. There's a typical rule of thumb in datacenter planning that for every 1W of compute power, you need 1W to cool it. If you can cut the cooling power, you can cut almost 50% of your datacenter cost.

Obviously you won't eliminate cooling cost entirely, and it's quite possible the overhead of replacing oil and extended maintenance times could offset these power savings.

Not just "one" model of Cray-at least the Cray-1, XMP, C90, T916/932, T3E…were cooled by liquid HFCs.

At five million+ $$ per system, the cost of using Fluorinert as opposed to mineral oil in the coolant cycle isn't even a rounding error.

If you spill mineral oil while swapping internal components, it's a trip & fire hazard. HFCs evaporate quickly, and aren't flammable.
Apple passes Microsoft
I started my professional career doing Smalltalk in the early 90's. The experience of development as a conversation in which I persuade a system to behave was really formative.

In a lot of ways, I'm still programming in Smalltalk... just in other languages.
Seems rather generational and perhaps somewhat geographical as well. Perhaps more prevalent in the US? I'm not sure how this would even reliably work - you're rather relying on automatic wrapping never looking like a line break, etc. Peculiar, for sure.

It would probably be a little interesting to do a study on changes in grammar/punctuational usage based on keystroke requirements. Having to flip to a different onscreen keyboard mode for a character would, I imagine, lessen the attraction of characters that needed that. Same with capitalisation, obviously, which I always assumed to be the driver behind all lower-case SMS messages in general. A full stop doesn't seem like it would be a candidate though, except line break = 1 char, full stop + space = 2...

Edit: Extra thought. If that was actually true, and it's changing people's _style_ of communication, does that essentially act as a kind of Sapir-Whorf hypothesis for group communications when this is in effect?
