No, it doesn't, although it might be possible to sort of emulate it by setting ZMQ_HWM to 1 and enabling ZMQ_SWAP, but I wouldn't bet on it.

The best you can hope is to use the Titanic Service Protocol and just throw data into some sort of disk store. I've looked into doing this, but I settled on using RabbitMQ instead for persistence. Unless you're dealing with more than 10k messages a second, it's just as easy as ZeroMQ.

After a few months of experimenting, I've come to the conclusion that some combination of ZeroMQ and RabbitMQ is likely the easiest solution currently for a combination of low-overhead distributed messaging and broker-assisted persistent messaging.
Different one. Call center software.
Yeah, communication and conversation was very location-dependent.

Even with the implied "everybody" being "everybody that would be interested in joining our site", this is a poor assumption. Not everyone is a ninja-rockstar web developer. In fact, some of the best content on HN comes from people who most likely don't know JS. I get the idea for the site, but the description seems very naive.

of course! Centralized economic solutions always work the best. The USSR is the best example of that. You people go back to coding and leave economics to economists.

Wasn't that what led to the mortgage crisis? Banks got to choose the "independent" auditors they used, so the market of auditors selected for those who overvalued the assets. When it became clear that the "independent" valuations were unreliable, the system collapsed at massive cost to the global economy.

Competition isn't a magic bullet. It amplifies perverse incentives just as easily as it amplifies legitimate incentives.

If you understood cryptocurrency you would understamd that their success is not measured in the price point. That is the most marketable aspect so that is what you know, the utility and use of the protocol is as good if not a better measure of their success. the relative speed with which issues are identified and resolved speaks to the success of the protocol not the daily/weekly highs and lows.

It is a non issue, honestly. This issue was known about as early as 2011. You can only modify non-essential pieces of the transaction, but it does change the overall transaction hash.

These poorly coded exchanges were looking for an exact hash match to pop up on the block chain, instead of looking for the deposit/address.

The actual security of the system is not really impacted at all, and the core Bitcoin clients cope fine with this. The exchanges may have put themselves at risk, but that is on them.
Now if somebody could solve the recurring billing in foreign currencies issue (Indian Rupee in my case), we'd be in business.
The Day We Fight Back: How to Shield Your Data Online
It's more than just 2-factor, your site has to control the second factor. E.g., even if you're using Google OAuth and requiring folks to have 2FA turned on, Google still effectively controls both of the factors.
What I'm waiting for is the large scale real world scams to start. Look in the back of the Sunday Newspaper Color supplement and the ads for Genuine Si1ver Coins Minted at some exotic locale (sold as collectables) and replace with "Genuine BitCoins with individual serial numbers". Sold for $CURRENT_RATE and including the hash of some lost wallet, or random gibberish.

The scammer will be able to sell the same "bitcoin" over and over if they want, or set up a fake "Validate your bitcoin here" site.

The type of people that buy from the back of magazines are probably the type that would hang on to this "investment" for their grandchildren... while the scammer is long gone.
No. People in the Bitcoin community would not in a million years want governments be involved in Bitcoin, regulating things. Exchanges need independent audit and insurance, but not greedy government bureaucrats waiting to be bribed. We want information and independent audit, not regulation.
Stalin did not defeat Hitler. The Soviet people did this in spite of Stalin's incompetence and some stupid strategic moves that he made.

It is really a stupid move to equate a people with the person who happens to be holding the current position of power. Do you equate Ukraine with Yanukovitch? Probably not. Then why would you equate the Soviet Union with Stalin or equate Russia with Putin or the USA with Obama. In all these countries there are many, many actors. Yes Stalin did pull many of the strings in the Soviet Union, to the extent that any person in power can pull strings.

But remember that old Chinese saying that the mountains are high and the emperor is far away? That applies to any large country, and it means that Stalin controlled far less than people attribute to him.

Of course, in modern times it means that Obama, Yanukovich and Putin also control a lot less than most commentators would claim. For instance I recently read a news piece in which it claimed that Putin ordered Russian troops into Georgia. In fact, the president of Russia at the time, Dmitri Medvedev ordered the troops in. And someone claimed that Putin is responsible for killing stray dogs in Sochi. In fact it is the town mayor and city council that is responsible. Many Russians are aghast and have mounted a campaign to move dogs around so that the killers can't find them, and have also set up several dog shelters to feed (and neuter) the dogs. Putin has nothing to do with any of this. It is part of the swirling of events in a complex society.

All world events like WWII are the same and anyone who digs in the details learns that the notable figures (generals, presidents, etc) are really just politicians who claim responsibility for the work of other people. These so-called great leaders alternate between urging their henchmen to carry out some action, and running to the front of the parade over which they have no control. They are less powerful than they seem.
>If you're the kind of person they want to hire, you have lots of fantastic other choices. So choose something else.

I am the kind of person they'd want to hire and what has kept me from applying is the relative low pay and not being in my area. As an engineer, you'd get access to cool tech in an interesting domain.

>And if you do decide to help code the surveillance state, the rest of us may take that into consideration in future hiring, buying, and investing decisions.

I'm glad you asked. It's really just an entirely different approach. We’re not building another expense tracker (no offense - some people just need to track expenses). We believe the core of the problem is not in the tracking of expenses, but rather the back office workflow. We’re trying to solve a team collaboration problem.

In terms of quantifiable differences, it’s way faster for employees to submit and get reimbursed because we've extrapolated away the need to even create an expense report (submit on the fly), managers can review and approve right from the mobile and for the accountants, everything is on autopilot (accounting autosyncs in the background nightly, payouts are tied to approval and go out nightly, communications go out to employees with payout status immediately, etc.)
You do realize that nobody will write an application in Java for the purpose of using ZeroMQ?

Instead they have an application already written in Java, or some other compelling reason to write the application in Java. Given that there is already a dependency on the JVM, it is silly to add another dependency on a particular host platform. It is silly to force the compile process to become aware of the host platform, when it otherwise wouldn't need to be.

The main problem with Persona (and OpenID and OAuth) is that you don't own your identity, by design. The identity is completely managed by provider, so anything that uses Persona is inherently prone to all sorts of identity provider abuse.

Analogy: you don't have any keys to your safe deposit box at bank, but a warden may open it for you after a phone call to your landlord, who'd assert your identity. The obvious question is why we need a landlord in this scenario.

Unfortunately, gpgAuth is practically dead and WebID WG had no progress for two years.

Funnily enough, I've had a similar situation to that in my line of work.

It wasn't twilio, but it turned out that when we submitted a SMS message of over 160 characters, the provider split it into 160 chunks and sent out as multiple SMS.

So far, so normal. But what happened when the first chunk sent successfully and the second chunk failed?

We got back a notification to say "MessageID: 4ACB-etc Result: OK" but the customer never got the message, and scanning the report on the provider's site showed the customer number, time and message as having failed.

But then the representative agreed it was a problem and set out to fix it rather than blaming our dependence on the ID!

This is a common confusion. The scalenpm crowdfunding was done by the good folks who ran the npm servers for free (mostly nodejitsu) up until the recent switchover to the new infrastructure with Npm, Inc.

You can still use the nodejitsu registry for free if you'd like[1]. They arent likely to need as much scaling anymore, but there's still a big cost to running those servers. I don't think there was any foul play when it comes to the scalenpm money as I'm fairly sure they were not aware of the intent for Npm, Inc to take over default hosting.

tl;dr the money did not go to the same people, and the people who crowd funded thought they'd still be hosting npm going forward at the time.

"This study provides unequivocal evidence that sex-biased gene expression in the adult human brain is widespread in terms of both the number of genes and range of brain regions involved. We also show that in some specific cases, molecular differences are likely to have functional consequences relevant to human disease and finally that sex biases in expression may reflect sex-biased gene regulatory structures"
Orchestrate fundraiser for EFF, #TDWFB
I don't think anyone is denying physical differences between people with XX and XY chromosomes. I also think it's common knowledge by now that sex influences the development of diseases (which is what the paper is about).

What the debate is usually about is inequalities in social power relations and whether these can be attributed to what you call 'social conditioning' or biology. This paper doesn't contribute anything to that question.

You seem to suggest that people are completely determined by their biological setup, and that there are no influences from society. I don't think that's right.

great, but also greatly overused.

This should be a book or a blog. Seems like the most powerful features of languages are often the downfall of a project. Proxies based on #doesNotUnderstand: or method_missing can be awesome and they can also be misused to render a project incomprehensible. The same goes for macros in C, macros in Lisp, and generics.
You could use p2p transactions, get paid in it as a service, get it as a handout, sell something for it, or, in the case of Bitcoin, mine it.
The simplicity of Go's syntax makes it really easy to use as a target for compile-time generated code, and all of the built-in parsing libraries in the standard lib make it really easy to interface such generated code with human-generated code and at the end of all of this you end up with something much more type-safe than you do with C macros.

So yeah, the toolset may not have anything like the C's preprocessor (the lack of which is a blessing, not a curse, IMO), but that's fine, if you're sure you really need such a thing just spend half a day writing your own in Go that is specific to your project's needs and make that a part of your local build process.
Really looking forward to CSS transform previews.

That said, recently I'd moved away from Firefox because the developer console stuff had gotten a little bulky and they felt sluggish. Hopefully they also get around to optimizing it for performance someday too.
Makes sense. One obvious power feature, that not only doesn't affect normal users, and would be well worth the money, is a locked down priority server. With npm being an open registry, any author can overwrite any release at any time. I don't want that possibility to happen on production, so if they provided a server with the versions you are using frozen from the general community, I would be interested in that.
I'll admit to being hyperbolic in "doesn't exist".

My actual point being: Even when I was writing a lot (note-taking in university), a nice-ish $2 fine-point pen solved my problem pretty well. The issues you cite are all real problems, but they're all pretty minor. All of those problems are/were waaaaaay down at the 'negligible' end the 'problems whose solutions would make a measurable improvement to my life' list.

So, to be precise: this isn't solving nonexistent problems, it's solving insignificant problems.

> [The page] seems to infer

You mean, it seems to imply. You're suffering from the common confusion between "infer" and "imply". Generally, a writer or speaker implies, while a reader or listener, or an observer of a situation, infers something about what was said or observed.

The confusion stems, I suspect, from the fact that there are contexts in which either word could make sense. Consider:

(1) Are you inferring that layoffs are coming?
(2) Are you implying that layoffs are coming?

It's easy to imagine a situation in which either of these questions could sensibly be asked. They are different questions, however. "Are you inferring" asks whether you have seen or heard clues that lead you to strongly suspect that layoffs are coming. "Are you implying", on the other hand, asks whether you have intentionally said something from which I might reasonably conclude that layoffs are coming.
Precisely because it's an exchange and not a bank that any delays in transactions are problematic. I don't think the comparison is fair.
I appreciate your paranoia :-) We are wary of announcing all the stuff we're planning given that we don't know how long it will take to build yet and don't want to be accused of vaporware.

We're not talking about the field of marketing. We're talking about a specific product. One of many available products that consistently underperforms for a lot of people (including those with experience in the field of marketing).

>it's like me saying "Oh, C++ is so stupid, I can't do "X" with it, although this book says it's comprehensive. Btw, I'm a mommy blogger"

No. It's not. It's like me saying "I have many years of successful marketing experience, using many tools, channels, and approaches. I have found fundamental flaws with this particular product. Many others seem to be reporting the same."

Which is, of course, exactly what I did say. But, you seem to be pretty determined to stick with your worldview.

But, you have to realize that when you make categorical statements like that, it's hard to take you seriously.
