You can't fault it for what it tried to be, though - a plug-and-play, drag-and-drop toolset designed to make web development accessible to savvy end-users and inexperienced developers, at least for what consitutes perhaps 80% of most businesses' needs - simple CRUD apps.

I think there's a lot of value in that, and for as much frustration as maintaining Web Forms apps has caused me (and will continue to cause me) I think it would be neat if they open-sourced it...what's to be lost if the alternative is to just let it rot into obscurity? I would totally fork the repo.
Ask HN: How to get freelance clients without Elance, oDesk, and the like?
I'm going to have my summer vacation from school very soon, and I'm hoping to make some money freelancing.

I've used Elance in the past and it has worked, but I don't want to have to filter through postings determining the legitimacy of various jobs.

I know the best way is through one's personal connections and network, but I'm looking for an online platform with quality jobs.

Thanks!
Is there a similar designed solution that combines say 10 cheaper SOC (raspberry pi's?) and a 100mb network?

Swizzling? Why not just override the event method in a class derived from UIApplication? That's what I do if I want to see all user events, works just fine.
No - so we risk rate for recurring payments and get a bunch of info from online banking that helps us determine how large of a recurring payment and at what interval we can allow. We've never been wrong, but we will be someday I'm sure. Recurring payments right now are not fully guaranteed against NSF risk only the first one and all one time payments. So for ZenPayroll I suppose that's particularly relevant.

Someday we hope to offer stored usernames and passwords as a service (making it super clear to the user that it's being authorized) but for now we only have really good security people - not "best in the world" people who would make me comfortable doing that.

Do we know if the median teacher also has a masters? I know what my kids teachers make (significantly more), so wouldn't be surprised to learn that 70k is reachable without the degree.

70k is significantly above the US median salary.

The regulations prohibit various forms of commercial use, e.g. preventing a cab company from moving its dispatch onto the 2m ham band— a reasonable policy since there is limited spectrum and commercial parties could easily overrun it: but if the traffic is encrypted how is the community management supposed to function?

Personally I'd like to see the regulations adopt special rules for highly directional or low-power limited-range signals in the SHF+ bands where there is plenty of spectrum which basically drops all the content rules beyond requiring cleartext contact information. Without competition for spectrum the balance of interests is different and it would be nice to be able to lawfully backhaul community internet access over some chunks of spectrum up at 3cm. Since no one would likely notice or care you could already use crypto in these places, so it might as well be made permitted.

It must depend on what programming culture you find yourself in, but I've seen more undercommenters than overcommenters, often with the excuse that the code is "obvious" or the comment would be literal.

Sometimes literal comments tell you things that you wouldn't pick up skimming the code: for(var i=0;i<length-1;i++) // skip the last element

Or, a comment could give a reason, like "iterate backwards because..."

Sometimes it takes half an hour to work what what two concise lines of code should say -- there may be something tricky going on, or you may be working around a bug in a driver or library or something -- and you should record what you were thinking.

I'd recommend simply avoiding a bad diet (mostly just eat a diversity of foods) then you will already be getting all the vitamins/nutrients/etc you need while avoiding getting too much of anything that is bad for you. No need for pills unless something is wrong.

In the future this may change. For example genetic tests may be able to identify hidden long-terms problems with clear biochemical mechanisms that can be corrected with a pill. Much harder to find something that will make most people healthier but it could happen. Just not yet.

As a vegetarian I am pleased to hear that those fish oil supplements are not all that they are cracked up to be.

As a child I was made to feel that as a vegetarian, if I did not take these fish oil supplements, then I would probably die. No TV advert or doctor told me that, just ambient peer pressure from good, well-meaning friends and their mothers that indulged in these fish oil things. The fear of god is one thing, scientific evidence from the back of the packet is something else. Looking back it is a miracle that I did not give in to the peer pressure.

I am part of the self-selected control group of vegetarians. We exist so any normal people (i.e. in the meat-eating cult) can see if you really need fish, meat or some scientifically proven meat/fish dietary supplement thing. As it happens the vegetarian control group, even if some of them do wear leather shoes, tends to outlive those that are tied to their beliefs about things like eating their fish oils, getting tonnes of protein from beef, eating things because those vitamins can only be found in pigs not celery and so on.

Hence I can quietly keep my feelings of "told you so" to myself on this one, rather than go round my friend's mum's house and tell her how wrong she was to try and force feed me that fish oil stuff.
> Why would insurance companies (who are cost-sensitive, or so they want us to believe) pay to send useless mail that doesn't generate any additional revenue?

Because it reduces costs and risks. First, because I believe that in most cases where the insurance company is billed it is legally required, so there are noncompliance costs, but also because customers sometimes do need them (perhaps less often now, but in multiple coverage situations it used to at least occasionally happen that the beneficiary would have to do coordination of benefits between primary and secondary insurer rather than providers or insurers handling that, and you can send a lot of no-decision-involved mail for the cost of dealing with occasional request plus dealing with on-demand mail.

I am building a financial services app and was using Angular and Firebase. I absolutely loved my development time with Firebase. It really complements Angular nicely and helped cement (in my head at least) what the role of the server in a modern app should be.

That being said, I decided that Firebase is not quite ready yet for my own app's requirements (for financial data I need data-at-rest encryption and on-premise hosting for my clients), but I wish them all the best and highly recommend them for anyone whose apps do not have the same constraints that mine does.

FWIW, my Firebase-like alternative is Node.js + SockJS + MongoDB. I'm looking into Feathers.js as well. It doesn't seem to be very widely used, but looks like it will provide some of the basics (service hooks, event hooks, etc.) on top of Node/SockJS that I will need.
Registers have to be spilled at every location where the GC can be entered. This includes places where the GC can be triggered, including function calls and loop back edges. Having to spill values held in registers across a loop back edge is quite suboptimal.

I've started poking around at it, in hopes of making a PR, but feel like I am making poor progress. It was trivial to change some things (like linking to /settings/tokens/new instead of including the hostname), but then my API key won't work.

I suspect that our enterprise installation uses a different API version than the live Github site, as I am having a hard time figuring out what an error 406 (vs the ones you catch) means. (And, the tree that I get is undefined.)

I'm surely doing something wrong. (I had hacked up the github.js library to use `github.ourcompany.com` for its API domain, which is probably wrong.) I will have to look for more info on API access to enterprise instances, because this is a feature which would make reading our various codebases __much__ more convenient.

This is true only of lower division classes at UW. Once you get to mid or upper-level classes, your class sizes are much smaller, the professors are more accessible.

Even the entry level classes have pretty good TA support, and the TAs often know more than the professors. That being said, I found it useful not to go to the huge lectures (even the one taught by the nobel prize winning physicist, who wasn't that great of a lecturer), spend my time in the study center, and rely a lot on the TAs (who were mostly awesome).
OK, I've tested, and I'm excited to report that you about 98% correct that TLB misses are _not_ the main issue! For a prewarmed buffer, using 1GB hugepages instead of standard 4KB standard pages is only about a 2% difference.

Here's the standard case:

sudo likwid -C 1 -g
INSTR_RETIRED_ANY:FIXC0,
CPU_CLK_UNHALTED_CORE:FIXC1,
DTLB_LOAD_MISSES_WALK_COMPLETED:PMC0,
DTLB_LOAD_MISSES_WALK_DURATION:PMC1 -m ./anonpage

|RDTSC Runtime [s] | 0.0732768 |
|INSTR_RETIRED_ANY | 5.78816e+08 |
|CPU_CLK_UNHALTED_CORE | 2.62541e+08 |
|DTLB_LOAD_MISSES_WALK_COMPLETED | 262211 |
|DTLB_LOAD_MISSES_WALK_DURATION | 5.52261e+06 |

And here is the version using 1GB hugepages:

sudo likwid -C 1 -g
INSTR_RETIRED_ANY:FIXC0,
CPU_CLK_UNHALTED_CORE:FIXC1,
DTLB_LOAD_MISSES_WALK_COMPLETED:PMC0,
DTLB_LOAD_MISSES_WALK_DURATION:PMC1 -m ./hugepage

| RDTSC Runtime [s] | 0.0716703 |
| INSTR_RETIRED_ANY | 5.78816e+08 |
| CPU_CLK_UNHALTED_CORE | 2.56794e+08 |
| DTLB_LOAD_MISSES_WALK_COMPLETED | 63 |
| DTLB_LOAD_MISSES_WALK_DURATION | 4891 |

The hugepages are indeed faster by amount the difference reported in as DTLB_LOAD_MISSES_WALK_DURATION. This means that as you surmised, the majority of the savings is not due to the avoidance of TLB misses per se. I need to think about this more.
Square isn't soliciting reviews for the small business, but instead private feedback. Should the customer subsequently go out and write a review (anonymous or not), the thought process is that the review may be influenced (hopefully positively) by the customer service.

This is a proactive approach to customer reviews as opposed to a reactive one.
Indeed. Although, to be honest, I'd expected such technology to be the norm for most interpreted/compiled languages at this point.

It turns out that instrumentation and optimization is actually a harder problem than one would think, which makes a lot of rather nifty technology farther out of reach than it otherwise should be.

it's consuming 10-20% of CPU constantly

It appears you're using a multicore machine with between 5-10 cores. A continuous loop is basically going to keep one core at 100%, which is only a bit of an annoyance with a multicore, but on a single or even dualcore machine (e.g. low-end mobiles), it will make everything else slow to a crawl.

It's interesting to note that, were this done several years ago or earlier, it would only make people complain about how your site froze their browser, but now we barely notice a single core running at full load unless we're observant...

Please use computing resources responsibly.
I can't think of any file dialogue that lets you select groups of files (at least native ones), so you are entering non-standard territority to do so, which is further afield than the drag and drop.
Also those which have broken architecture and bad attitudes toward end-users. OpenSSL fits this label, but so do KDE and GNOME, IMO. Systemd as well, among the reasons I regard it so critically.
> I'd recommend simply avoiding a bad diet (mostly just eat a diversity of foods) then you will already be getting all the vitamins/nutrients/etc you need while avoiding getting too much of anything that is bad for you.

A diversity of foods doesn't mean much.

Fish oil is commonly recommended for good reasons. The amount of Omega 3 in the American diet is insanely low, mostly due to the lack of sea food in the average American diet (Seafood being one of the more plentiful sources of Omega 3).

In addition to that, the amount of Omega 6 in the average American's diet is sky high. There are potential problems when the Omega3/Omega6 ratio in a diet is too far in favor of Omega 6, these problems are what Fish Oil is theorized to help with.

On a more general note, many supplements can help with a variety of problems. While I'd say most supplements are worthless, there are quite a few that are not.

If you properly take melatonin, it will help with your sleep. (Don't take the huge doses most people do, 300mcg will suffice, overdosing will hurt your sleep after awhile!)

l-Theanine greatly reduces the side effects of caffeine and helps it work longer. Flat out, less anxiety, less jitters, and a large increase in focus.

Creatine flat out helps all around with physical performance, and may help out with some mental performance as well. There are dozens upon dozens of studies showing creatine's effectiveness.

Heck there are supplements out there that work as treatment for diabetes by controlling blood glucose levels, and by control, I mean "take this supplement, blood glucose levels drop".

The multi-vitamin sold at your local pharmacy? Yeah likely useless (or even worse), assuming it has any active ingredients in it at all.

But well researched supplements from reputable companies that have independent third party audits done on their production lines?

Pretty damn useful.

My point isn't that the claims are all proven. I was pointing out that the Wikipedia claims are sourced to actual research papers, rather than some random blog (or worse: some random supplement sales site).

What this addresses is TFA's claim that fish oil has no benefits based on an analysis of one study concerning one claimed benefit. That claim is just as unsubstantiated as it claims the Inuit study benefits are.
Good clickbait is bad.
If by dynamic, you mean: the compiled code for the same exact shader source code can be wildly different at runtime, based on the inputs, OSL is dynamic in that sense.

If you mean something else…then I guess not. It's a shader after all, not a general purpose programming language.

I tend to use dynamic in the sense of static vs. dynamic, where dynamic is "happens at runtime" and static is "happens before runtime".
