I highly recommend the SSD power especially for mysql and redis performance. I just wish they will allow separate disk scaling and add a bit more CPU power.
Really? Because I have used Spotify for 2+ years and I discover a lot of new music through it. Not the kind of stuff that I find on the radio either. Being able to start a 'radio' with a specific song brings out some great stuff you wouldn't of found before
Some people need this sort of explanation.
No, it is a superset. Every JSON document is a valid YAML document.

It will just get reverted by the mods. If the "title" on the page is uninformative, so will be the title on HN.
It's technically true because YAML includes an alternate "inline style" that lets you write objects in JSON syntax. Therefore any JSON object is a valid YAML object as well. But, not an idiomatically written YAML object, since writing YAML using only inline style is unusual.
One of the core aspects of XML that is really important is that no typing is inferred by the structure of the file unlike JSON. JSON is by nature tied to the JavaScript type system which is sparse and inaccurate. For example, if you look at the following:

{ "name": "bob", "salary": 1e999 }

Ah crap! Deserializer blew (in most cases silently converting the number to null)

<person>
<name>bob</name>
<salary>1e999</salary>
</person>

No problem. The consumer can throw that at their big decimal deserialiser.

And the following is not acceptable as it breaks the semantics of JSON and requires a secondary deserialisation step as strings ain't numbers...

{ "name": "bob", "salary": "1e999" }

JSON is a popular format but it's awful.
Nothing in London is quite so profitable as property development. I suppose this is the continuation of the process of sweeping away the derelict bits of Hackney for the 2012 Olympics.

It would be nice if economic activity wasn't quite so concentrated in unaffordable London. But I can feel the wave of money washing over the built environment even out here in Cambridge ("Silicon Fen"); it's just about commutable to North London, so buildings have been going up with the clear aim of selling to middle eastern or Chinese investors. It has its positive aspects - many of the cleared buildings were in terrible condition, ugly, or (as in Hackney) suffering from asbestos. But the new ones are still unaffordable. I'm fleeing to Edinburgh while watching professional couple friends get priced out of buying their first home.

Property booms cannot go on forever: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/feb/28/home-ownership-... but we lack the leadership to resist this or to try and distribute industries more evenly across the country. (Mediacity is a token attempt at building a media cluster in Manchester while kneecapping the BBC and looting its buildings).
Transfer CSS to LESS when Building a Website
foo = foo . bar . mu $ zot bob

means

foo = (foo . bar . mu) (zot bob)

not

foo = (foo . bar . mu) zot bob
So you are essentially saying "being a decent human being" = "fail".
Someone just transferred ~100 million dollars across the net without a bank being involved. Even without knowing anything about why or who, just the fact that this occurred is interesting. Money is one of the earliest information technologies and bitcoin, whether or not you think it will be successful in the long run, is something that anyone who professes an interest in technologies should be watching very closely.

I love Webflow, and have used it for multiple projects, but I personally feel like it's way too expensive. As a student, I could literarily get the entire adobe creative suite for cheaper than the Webflow plan I would need would cost. And, as I only create a few static web pages a year, there's no way I can justify paying for Webflow.

Oxygen reduces sympathetic activity, so for example in patients with heart failure or sleep disorders it is actually helpful.

I've heard that enhances cognitive awareness too, but from a quick look I didn't find any studies online to support the theory. Generally speaking, makes sense: we breath O2 and release CO2. When preparing to sleep the O2 quantity will be diminished considerably in the room. So it's better to allow as much, as possibly bigger % of O2 in the room.

But other than that, I know just know that patients with COPD and sleep deprivation disorders use oxygen therapy to get better. How exactly it works, I don't know though nor I can be 100% that enhances cognitive awareness.

ps. Air quality is usually associated with room temperature. Room temperature IMHO can have an even bigger negative effect on sleep quality. Another important thing not mentioned is bed/pillow quality.

EDIT: Changed H2O to O2 after being pointed out my stupid error.

Weird - I'm in the UK and just see a generic 404.
Also, silicon roundabout is at 5 min walking distance of the heart of the city of London, so any kind of success would have priced them out. The council is doing what their own success would have been doing in a few years.

It would have required tremendous effort by the government to maintain the right balance of cheap business place and accommodation required to let the community survive. 100 meters away from one of the world finance capital ( and only sector still working in the UK ) that's an impossible challenge.

You cannot bootstrap a startup community too close to such location. You need some room for the community to create a culture and some momentum.
To be specific, JSON syntax is a subset of YAML version 1.2.

However, I hate YAML with a passion. It is worse than XML in my books. I can usually read JSON fine. I can also read XML in many cases. For the life of me, I just can't read YAML. It has something to do with "-", line indentation and different ways of writing lists.

Of course, someone will say YAML is technically better ...

AWS: Monitoring EC2 Memory and Disk Usage In CloudWatch Using Custom Metrics
> Earlier versions used molten magnesium and antimony

I once calculated about how much magnesium and antimony would be needed to run the world on solar, using these batteries for storage. Based on the numbers I found in articles like this, and a little wikipedia, it came out to a thousand times our annual production of one of these metals, and ten thousand times our annual production of the other.

For a similar calculation using lead-acid batteries, see this post at Tom Murphy's Do the Math blog: https://physics.ucsd.edu/do-the-math/2011/08/nation-sized-ba...

Wouldn't that be, to some extent, a conflict of interest? Given that the other shareholders who have paid for WhatsApp want to get a return on their investment, the Board Member who has benefited from the sale is blocking existing shareholders from benefiting from such acquisition.

Lets remember that as a board member he has a fiduciary duty to FBs shareholders, and that means making sound ($) decisions.
If it's not that, I'll eat my hat, and my pyjamas.

A brief introduction to Haskell, and why it matters
Nice little bit of criticism of the Hackney council and I like the summary of the startup scene in general:

A common pattern in startups is to go to work for one,
watch it implode and team up with a colleague or two to
move on to another startup; repeat several times until you
have agglomerated a bunch of people you know, like and
trust; then do your own startup with them.

The statement that foreign students paying vast sums to study in UK is an "education bubble" is made kind off hand though and I would love to hear Cory expand on that idea.

As far as I can tell this is on the rise and is central to most university budgets. What could happen to "burst" this supposed "bubble"?
We have had a lot of Silicon-whatsits in the UK. Silicon Fen in Cambridgeshire and Silicon Glen somewhere in Scotland. There's a big electronics scene in Bristol.

Tho' this is something that it's impossible for governments to do, really, all the money will be creamed off by "advisers" and "consultants", small companies given impossible bureaucratic hoops to jump through, etc. The best thing the government can do is just take a step back.

Or my pet harebrained scheme: resurrect the original Acorn Archimedes and buy a million of then, requiring that all govt departments use indigenous British computing technology...
Re SSD disks, as someone who's using both Digital Ocean and Ramnode: For PostgreSQL on smallish data sets (5GB) doing Sphinx reindexes every few minutes Digital Ocean's I/O performance is much lower than Ramnode's KVM SSD instances. Disk benchmarks on the two gave me 5-10x in Ramnode's favor on small instances. Digital Ocean is still pretty decent for a budget provider and Ramnode has all the standard issues of a smaller hoster (and all the advantages), but if I/O performance is critical to you it might be worth taking into account. DO is much slicker, though.

Resulting HID report has to fit into 8 byte payload of low speed interrupt frame, which works out as 6 bytes for keys, 1 byte for LED states (which is arguably redundant) and one byte for modifier keys.

On the other hand I can't understand why they had designed HID in this way, when essentially all previous PC keyboard interfaces worked by sending state changes (key down/key up) and not full state. It's not like that generating down/up events would add significant complexity to keyboard, there has to be whole lot of stuff for the USB itself and also it's already there for PS/2.
Why does that make his comment less relevant or correct? Should we all just comment "so sad, he's way to young/talented/... to die"? Illness and death are just as ubiquitous and universal as they are sad. People get sick and die. Young people die. Talented people die.

I fail to understand how people make such a big deal out of developers dieing.

His argument (that articles priced in bitcoin change their priced based on the value of a fiat currency such as USD) is valid as a qualitative judgement of bitcoin's utility as a currency, but isn't really a valid test of what is or isn't a currency.

Case in point: The Zimbabwean dollar remained a currency through its hyperinflation period, and is still considered a currency (however useless) even though it is no longer the official currency of Zimbabwe. Now that Zimbabwe officially accepts relatively stable foreign currencies, prices of goods have stabilised in that country.

Difficult move. However, how else could they have pulled of the separation into two magazines? If they didn't subscribe anyone to the new magazines, they might have failed?

I agree it could have been handled better. But what if girls actually prefer the girl's magazine? The PC assumptions seems to be to assume that girls only like what they are told to like, but what if there actually are differences in preferences, and marketing is simply reacting to it?

Good news; one thing i'd argue about is relationship between democracy and redistribution: while great inequality is, in my perception, compatible with democracy (democracy worked just fine in the 1920s America), greatly redistributive society isn't: too many voters will be dependent on the others and their votes will be driven by a will to extort more from the public, which might make society unstable...
I've worked in the area since 2004. Although I agree with the points he is making, I don't really see the author coming up with any solutions. The problems are rooted in the right to private property.

I'm also fairly certain that Hackney have an issue with corruption. The way to flip properties in the area is to buy up a building with a B1 use (office), then apply to planning permission to build a residential penthouse or two on the top of the building. Build the flats, sell them for an insane amount of money to a couple of bankers, job done. I've been told off the record by estate agents that certain people have "more luck" with these applications than others, but what can you do?

Not necessarily. Any constitutional amendment should be vague enough to survive for long periods. It should not even mention NASA, but make the exploration of Earth and other worlds something legislators cannot easily cut in favor of more convenient short-term gains and remove politics from technical decisions (which is what made the shuttle the sad thing it ended up being).

The amendment idea was actually a very clever hack.
I guess it depends on your product and how deeply you need to integrate.
Discuss HN: Is it possible to grow ivory to stop poaching
I'm a animal lover and this movie had me think about growing ivory (in a lab): https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=rBbZOZr5Jtg

Does anyone know if it's possible or if someone is working on this? This should be a governement funded project.

My theory is to reduce the price of ivory, so that poaching would stop / decline.

People pay 100$ for small ones and up to 900$ for large ones (7-9 inch). Basicly something like 100 $ / inch.

Other estimates say it's worth up to 5000$ / kilogram (2.2 lbs).

That's really cold, even though I'm not much of a bitcoin believer either. And actually, it seems he hasn't necessarily benefited yet, because he's going to hold on to his bitcoins for the future. I would urge him to sell, say, half of them, at the very least and put those in more conventional investments, for his kids' sakes.
People can still buy whatever Lego they want. Several people in this thread mentioned buying non-pink Lego for their girls.

I have also bought pink Playmobil (big Lego competitor in Germany, don't know about elsewhere) for my son.

I think people actually want to differentiate themselves from other people. Pink is just one of many ways of saying "I'm different/special".
You should be speccing what you want to achieve: the goals, the why, the impact, the external limitations, measures of success and so forth. This also allows you to describe and plan testing up front. The "how" is best handled in an iterative manner.

A lot of people use AGILE to avoid planning at all, which is a particular destructive anti-pattern, and the exact opposite of what you need.
International students pay full fees here, whereas UK/EU students are subsidised somewhat. I don't know if international student fees are "central" to university budgets, in comparison with domestic fees and funding, but they're obviously very important. Increasingly so, in recent years, as domestic fees have gone up considerably, which has seen a decrease in home student numbers.

Anyway, the bubble would burst when the decreasing value of a UK (or any) degree is overtaken by the increasing cost of it. Bear in mind that the cost of a degree isn't just the tuition; the cost of living is substantial in the UK (particularly in London) and that's making the option of studying here less and less attractive.
Thanks, that was a great example.
The analogy with the Zimbabwean dollar seems appropriate. Most of its value, too, accrues to miners and FX traders.
It makes it less pertinent, I didn't comment on its correctness. Reading the post it starts off as standard HN bitcoin fodder and then takes a surprising turn into, what I found to be, a personal and touching story. Hence my knee-jerk response wouldn't be: "to the blockchain! :-)".
Britain does seem to be getting balkanised into areas where economic development is allowed and areas where it is not. The planning system compartmentalises everything so that marginal development is impossible. Places like Silicon Fen are great, but you also need the crappy industrial estate that have cheap rents and access to transport links.
Restricting the number of visas so that they go elsewhere would probably burst the bubble.

LOL you think this is bad and StackOverflow has it hard?

I founded a number if groups on Facebook a few years ago and they're primarily a QA sort of community, like SO but purely on FB. We don't just get the "help me find the error questions" but also:

- have u got free PDF for <expensive book>
- please give me code for <trivial project> (often be explicit that its a student project)
- what programming language should I learn? (Often its java or PHP. I literally know one guy who has been trying to decide for 3 fucking years)

Sometimes I will get "I am just 2 gud at java coding" and also group/page spam.

Sometimes questions like the above, especially the free pirated PDFs! Can't believe people would be rude enough to try and throw all my hard work over the years down the pan because they don't want to pay for education.

I don't make money from this. Nor has it improved my career prospects. How dies StackOverflow sound now?
I think it's refreshing to hear someone advocate XML instead of JSON, specifically because you bring up a good point.

The problem I think is that just because XML is human-readable, it's less sufficient as a format that is human-writable (I'm looking at you, Maven!). I believe this is the root cause that many people hate XML, even though it has a very sweet spot in application-to-application communication.
