>and that game was very primitive by today's standards

Is the game primitive, or did it look primitive?

I think it's important to make the distinction, because for all the fancy technology that goes into making a AAA shooter look cool, the actual game underneath it all is never terribly sophisticated, and usually even less so than the average FPS from the 90s. Yet people nowadays will claim that something like The Legend of Zelda, where you have a fairly nonlinear adventure through a huge world, is more "primitive" than a modern game where you are basically guided on rails from start to finish.
Ada actually seems to be a pretty good idea for writing performant, security-critical code that has to link with C libraries... such as crypto libraries. Does anyone have any ideas on why it might not be as good as it looks, past the fact that the absolute latest version is proprietary?

Correct. If you start Google+ for the first time, there's a wizard asking you whether you want to enable "Auto Backup" and further asks you whether this should happen only on WiFi or also on data. It's a separate page, so it's really hard to overlook.

Only if you have prior knowledge of what URLs are possible.

If you don't then the front-end cache will have to play it safe and will have to pass the request to the backend if it does not know the URL.

Any kind of variability in the request that causes a conversation between the front-end and the back-end and the cache can be busted, or is a potential DOS vector.

Please show me a caching front-end with a dynamic back-end that you control and that you think is protected against cache busting and we'll discuss that off-line. I'd hate to expose you to some joker taking you down just to make the point.

A cache can even become it's own enemy, for instance, if it passes requests on to the backend server if the GET contains url parameters and these make the request unique in the eyes of the cache but not unique in the eyes of the back-end then the cache could easily eat up a ton of memory even though from the back-ends perspective the same page got hit over and over again.

Caching is tricky.

Among other things, yes, the GPU is a computer that supports more parallelism than the CPU. But not in the way you want.

There are a few issues. One is that the GPU does much more than map/scatter/gather (reduce is hard in parallel so it doesn't do that), look into the stages of the graphics pipeline and see what I mean. The other big one is that it doesn't work like a CPU in a lot of ways and making it general purpose like one would loose enough of the performance that it would no longer be useful in many cases.

Really what you're asking for is a super-parallel general-purpose CPU, which really isn't what a GPU is or wants to be.

Both those drugs are very easy to use.

For Nystatin: Does your baby have a rash that looks like raised red dots?

For Mebendazole: Did you drink or come in contact with potentially infected water?

There are plenty of OTC drugs with far more complicated symptoms. It's really completely arbitrary - or more accurately, it's driven by companies wanting to expand their market into OTC (as soon as it goes off patent) rather than anything actually medical.

Take Nexium for example: It was prescription only (and very expensive) till the patent ended. The day the patent expired it turned OTC.

To me as a teenager in the late 90s, Sun workstations still had enough prestige that I wanted to get my hands on one. In hindsight it was irrational, but I felt that these "workstations" were real computers, as opposed to mere garden-variety PCs running Windows or even Linux. Then, at my first job in 2000 as a code monkey in a cubicle, I got to use a Sun workstation for some of my work (by then I was the second or third employee to have that particular box). I discovered that a PC running Linux was better in every way... except that I couldn't run Linux at work (Windows NT 4.0 on the PC). So much for the vaunted Sun workstation, at least by that time.

I'm not yelling at you, and I genuinely don't know what you mean. Are you simply saying you really like Profont? It's been discussed (along with several other programmers fonts) several times over the years here at HN. I'm not being pedantic, I'm just confused why you believe Profont has any relation to 8 bit system typefaces.

This is an article about history of typefaces on early personal computers. That's a cool thing to read about. There have been similarly interesting articles about programmers fonts, and I tend to read those, too. But, it's OK for us to discuss one without pulling the other into the discussion. It's simply a non-sequiter.
Is MightySpring mostly geared toward helping technical job-seekers?
The reason for this is that graphics cards have evolved to be enormously complex.

Every (well, hopefully) graphics engineer knows how the data goes over the wire into the graphics card, and understands the stages of the graphics pipeline (or at least the ones that matter for the version of OpenGL/D3D they're targetting).

Yes, the relative complexity of the graphics pipeline means that there's much more potential for errors from the driver, but I'm not sure it's productive to say 'this is too complex' when there isn't a simpler way to get the same results.

I agree with many of the points made in this article however I believe the conclusion is flawed. Many SSGs focus on the wrong thing, but not all of them. Fed up with Jekyll (which I used after being fed up with Wordpress) I wanted something with even less friction.

I came across Hugo (http://hugo.spf13.com) and have been super happy ever since. Here's some of the reasons why:

1. Really easy to install. One binary, no dependencies or package managers

2. Really fast. Renders my entire site with hundreds of posts in less than half a second. Even changes to templates or themes (which affect every page in the site) render in milliseconds. Wordpress couldn't even render a single page that quickly.

3. Because it is so fast the live reload feature Hugo has works really well. Keep a browser window open and see a nearly instant preview every time I save a file.

4. Deploying is as simple as running a 3 line shell script I wrote in a couple minutes. Since I'm already in the terminal running the script is trivial. I can even run it from within Vim. Thanks to Rsync it takes around 3 seconds to deploy my content. Again, less time that it takes to hit preview and then save in Wordpress.

And all of these are the default.

I disagree with respect to a pay gate. A payment gate on ngrok, even something as simple as requiring a credit card number would pose a significant barrier for a large swath of ngrok users. As some motivating evidence I can tell you:

I've had requests to support niche payment systems (whose names I can't even recall) because the country's credit card infrastructure is poor or not commonly used.

I've had a number of people tell me that their credit card wouldn't process because their provider is not supported world-wide.

ngrok is useful to students, some in high-school or even younger who surely don't have easy access to a credit card.

Sure, I could make those people email me with special requests to get around the system, but that greatly degrades the experience and moves initial experience from joy -> frustrating.

There are a number of possible technical solutions I would rather pursue first before greatly damaging first-time user experience and funnel.
This is a fascinating and shockingly current story. Thank you for the pointer.

"The depopulation of Chagossians from the Chagos Archipelago, that is, the compelled expulsion of the indigenous inhabitants of the island of Diego Garcia and the other islands of the British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT) by the United Kingdom, at the request of the United States of America, began in 1968 and concluded on 27 April 1973 with the evacuation of Peros Banhos atoll.

...

On April 1, 2010, the British Cabinet announced the creation of the world’s largest Marine Protected Area (MPA) which consists of most of the Chagos Archipelago, homeland of the Chagossians. The MPA will prohibit extractive industry of all kinds, including commercial fishing and oil and gas exploration. Some Chagossians have claimed that this MPA was created to prevent the islanders from returning to the islands.

On December 1, 2010, a leaked US Embassy London diplomatic cable exposed British and US communications in creating the marine nature reserve. The cable relays exchanges between US Political Counselor Richard Mills and British Director of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office Colin Roberts, in which Roberts 'asserted that establishing a marine park would, in effect, put paid to resettlement claims of the archipelago’s former residents'. The cable (reference ID '09LONDON1156')[citation needed] was classified as confidential and 'no foreigners', and leaked as part of the Cablegate cache."

As I'm sure you know there are tons of other medications that can cause that too not just "grandfathered" ones, but it's extremely rare. It's not why those drugs are not OTC. I even asked the FDA - it's about money, and nothing else (like Nexium).
