Why are there two different Log Monitoring sections, with no overlap in tools?

An alphabetisation of section headings and a clickable Table of Contents would be good, given the pretty comprehensive nature of the list.
Honest question: why does that matter to you? The language is still pre-1.0. There's also a fully functional Julia implementation if the parser now, too: https://github.com/jakebolewski/JuliaParser.jl
> ...I ended up working with the people who vendors would fly in from cheaper parts of the country.

As someone who grew up in a cheaper part of the country, I was tempted to be offended by that comment (and particularly by the subsequent suggestion that people from cheaper parts of the country were more likely to be prejudiced).

I felt like you were pre-judging me based on where I was born - something I had as little control over as the color of my skin or my religious and cultural background.

But then I realized you're probably not always aware of your own prejudices, any more than I am. So no worries, we are all still learning how to get along and respect each other.

Thanks a lot for making an account and taking part in the discussing, and my apologies for bashing your article a bit. Obviously the topic is very interesting and I'm very happy you made the article.

I would actually be wary of the lurkers, I suppose there is a significant amount of people who are 'interested' in stormfront without actually sharing the belief who have accounts there.

The Facebook statistic would be very interesting if it had been of the average Stormfront user. There's a chance the sort of person who has extreme opinions on their FB just has more friends, with only 100 out of 200.000 it's hard to tell.

It's funny you are skeptical of the linguistic analysis thing while you opened the article with a quote from a girl who was impressed by the linguistic analysis of that NYT quiz ;) You can make this sort of analysis without any specific knowledge at all, a very generic n-gram analysis could give you anything from common phrases used by stormfront users to linking their identities across mediums (i.e. stormfront to twitter/facebook).
I'm not sure if it is accurate, but I think of someone who is hateful as someone who was hurt. This is also why I think it's so hard to fight hate, as even if you mend a wound, the memory of hurt lasts and fosters hate. How do you make someone forgive and forget?

>No, they don't. Don't legitimize their nonsense.

I share this critique, and I outlined it in my post, so I'm not legitimizing them, but rather outlining what things I think they are correct about.

I simply do not believe that Israel as a Jewish state is a "security measure". Almost no one thinks of it in these terms, neither Israeli Jews or American Jews (Einstein did, but he was in a minority). Israeli's (and American Jews) typcially describe Israel is existing for the protection of Israel identity, religion and culture, not the physical protection of individual Jews.

You say that most Jews support the inclusion of other people in their communities, and yet the Prime Minister of Israel said "If we don't stop their [African asylum seekers] entry, the problem that currently stands at 60,000 could grow to 600,000, and that threatens our existence as a Jewish and democratic state ... This phenomenon is very grave and threatens the social fabric of society, our national security and our national identity."

>Please don't bring Stormfront to HN.

I will bring my own beliefs to HN, feel free to deal with it however you like.

Buildbox Agent 0.2 Release: Now with Artifact Downloading and Build Metadata
[Random question for dang, why the 'hn=true' cgi arg? Isn't the referrer field sufficient?]

This was a great article. One of the things that is sorely under estimated by folks is that that "pipeline" from parts to product requires several dozen specially trained people to function well. As a small organization you have to train each group from start to finish to get to the point where the end product can ship. When I worked for Tut systems the manufacturing process was amazing, and where a software process is designed with testing to insure modules work, a hardware process is filled with processes that quickly identify problems before they get assembled into the product.

Very rewarding though, and very doable, you just have to budget the time to do it and go in knowing you are training up a pipeline. There is no "magic" manufacturer that can take your idea and make it.
Doesn't Amazon already run their own POD press? One of the rumored disputes with Hachette is that Amazon wants access to digital masters so they can print books on demand, if the publisher is unable to supply physical copies for any logistical reason. That's like demanding access to software source code.
To be fair to the point I was making, you had used the GPS and maps to get lost in the first place.

Is anyone surprised that so many of those are payed services instead of OSS projects?

I understand payroll, analytics and others like such. But things like bug trackers, dashboards, CIs, exception handling, log monitoring. At some level maybe it is a bit like selling shovels during a gold rush. Find what most start-ups need and monetize that. The gold prospector has a high chance of going home empty-handed, but he will surely need a shovel to even start digging.
I bought tickets myself two weeks ago before the Snowden announcement, but there is no way I would actually stay in the Hotel Pennsylvania. If HOPE cares so much about attracting more people, they're going to need to lean on the owners to invest more in that shithole if they want to stay there.
The kind of people who hang out on the Stormfront website are the kind of people who cram all kinds of point-of-view pushing into articles on Wikipedia, "the encyclopedia anyone can edit." Basically, you would be wise to assume that any article on Wikipedia that pertains to any topic related to "race" (broadly construed) or immigration or the history of Fascist or neo-Nazi movements is skewed at present toward the Stormfront point of view,[1] although of course there are Wikipedians who are trying to clean up that mess.[2] People who gain their "knowledge" of the world from websites like Stormfront seem to end up like the unfortunate victims of early lobotomies performed by inserting icepicks into their skulls: permanently brain-damaged and no longer able to perceive or understand facts contrary to their ideological position. I can only hope that such a toxic website will diminish in influence as people who know better about those issues take care to promote understanding those issues better early and often among all the young people coming up in the next generation.

AFTER EDIT: I guess I would learn something if I asked why this was downvoted, not seeing any comment in reply here. I'll note for the record that some of the arguments given in this very thread for why it is a "valid critique" or "human nature to discriminate" as part of thinking about the issues Stormfront brings up get into our HN community from developers and other smart people who haven't studied history or social science much getting their knowledge of these topics from Wikipedia articles that have been subtly corrupted by Stormfront-supporting Wikipedians.

Interesting. That was precisely Stalin's solution to minimizing threats to his order throughout the Soviet empire and like it or not he was nothing if not rational. (Except, of course, for his assessment of Hitler's ambitions.)
Your "legitimate grievance" adds nothing to explain the main hatred of the site, which according to the article, is anti-semitism. It's hard to believe that "Jews run Hollywood" is enough to explain that. I guess you need to add the old myth that Jews run the economy or some such. But then, that doesn't work well with the article's claim that the hatred is not driven by economic hardship.
You're not the intended market. The people likely to be buying this are those who would have had a wood-based camping stove / sat around a campfire anyways.

I really like it but, I would recommend you change your domain. Firstly, you are opening yourself up to trademark suite by using reddit in your domain name. Even if that isn't an issue, it also forces you to only work with reddit. Down the track, you might decide to make this turn-key and start integrating with twitter, instagram etc... but, your domain name will halt you there.
I believe this used to work but I don't think it does anymore.
The MUD I played back in high school (Frontier, found on frontier.mudservices.com:7680) has evidently been dead for some years now. When I first played it ~2004 it was already on its second wind, having died and been revived once previously by new management.

I vaguely wonder what happened to it.
You're right, the parallel for Europe occurred in early to mid 1944. Might have shortened the war six months? It's not clear though. It could be argued the turning point was really boots supplementing the ongoing strategic bombing. Or maybe the key event was Hitler exiting and handing things to Dönitz, who immediately suspended operations and began winding down all the madness.*

Interesting tour of how air control fluctuated in WWII here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_supremacy#World_War_II

*Maybe because the writing was on the wall, but I think a case could be made that Hitler was a little crazy and other leaders might have been more pragmatic, seeking earlier options for peace. Who knows though.

I can't say how deeply sad it makes me that we have this perception about creating languages -- that it's something you do if you want to have silly wacky fun in your fantasy book or movie.

It's like it was before the creation of the electronic communication standards we now take for granted, but much, much worse. It's not that we're unable to exchange documents, it's that we cannot exchange even basic ideas with our fellow humans if they happened to be born somewhere else.

I'm a native speaker of English. So far I've spent two years in China studying Mandarin, and I'm still like a small child. Most people would never be willing to do what I've done. Or, if willing, they wouldn't have the opportunity. The situation for Chinese people learning English is just as daunting, if not moreso.

Our natural languages grew like crazed mushrooms. They don't obey sensical rules. They're full of exceptions. That's why they're so hard. But it doesn't have to be that way. We can and should create a language whose rules fit on a postcard. If I know how to say its words, I should know how to spell them, and if I see them written, I should know how to say them. The new language's sounds could be carefully chosen to be comfortable for a very large number of humans. Learning such a language would actually be doable in a reasonable amount of time. The benefits of being able to communicate with all our fellow humans go on and on.

Of course, people should go on speaking their native languages -- they're fun! Even if a miracle took place and a brilliant standard language were standardized tomorrow, I'd continue my language studies, because it's wonderful to be able to tell people that I consider them my family in their own language. But when necessary or helpful, we should be able to switch to the standard language.

It's an ongoing travesty. It really makes me sad that humans cannot get their act together enough to build such a desperately needed bridge.

"When I first started delicious, we had to host most of the services ourselves. CVS, mail, mailing lists, etc etc etc. These days, lots of that stuff is available as SaaS. What are the tools and services people use instead of hosting their own?"

From your link, "Standard water boil tests of early BioLite prototypes demonstrated carbon monoxide and particulate matter emissions reductions of 91% and 94%, respectively, while lowering fuel usage by 42% relative to a three stone fire"

So... not useful figures because they're from a prototype and not compared to another stove. I also wouldn't call that a vast majority in context since the relevant comparison is to a gas or alcohol fueled stove.

I'm not sure how the behaviour isn't uniform (unless you are getting on to classes).

Taking your example assuming x has been declared let x = [1,2,3] then the code you show will behave exactly as if the array had been copied but underneath it would actually be sharing a single bit of memory and have skipped/postponed the copies.

If the next line was b[0] = 5 then a copy would be made so x and a would still be [1,2,3] and b would be a separate array [5,2,3].

The behaviour will be exactly the same as copy on assign. You might be able to identify that it hasn't copied with the identity operator === but why would you need to know?
It sounds so stilted. Almost as if someone was trying to figure out, "What would a white supremacist say?"

Terrible video - it only supports 802.11b (so it'll drag the rest of your wireless down potentially too). Wi-fi range seemed short. The Android client has been broken since we got it (and never fixed) - you get no notifications on it.

No local LAN support - everything tries to go over the internet, and their servers are unreliable. Lag time of something like 30 minutes is not uncommon.

Doesn't integrate with a lot of existing doorbell/intercom systems (ostensibly it'll work with AC ones, it didn't work with mine which is admittedly some type of DC - but simple enough, short to ring and all that).

It is all round a terrible product which was launched in an unusable state, with really poor design decisions.
The small performance degradation could be a good thing - it may be a result of the use of explicit_bzero to clear sensitive data structures (instead of memset which was used previously) before freeing.

It could mean that a fair bit of that important cleaning was being optimised out before with OpenSSL.
Screenshot Claims To Show Off The Coming Windows 8.1 Start Menu
I maintain a PHP app originally by a no longer present Chief. No framework, no MVC style separation of code. Minimal tests via Selenium. Its fragile. Upgrades or new features require lots of work, new more split code. We are in process of gradual rewrite - ETA 2018. Makes money but moves like a tortoise.

A second one uses a little custom framework. We have more test cases for this one so we can mash through it w/o much concern. The total codebase is less than 200k lines (excluding framework). We can move fast but this makes little money

A third has 4 devs, uses a common well known framework and each dev writes one test case a week (our test process is gamified). Makes good money and we can move pretty quick but have a methodical Work, Test, Beta, Live process too.

I'm a trans woman and I do agree that anyone who was demanding that all previous written instances of using "he" for Manning be altered is going too far.

On the other hand, once she informed people about her true gender and pronoun preferences then there ought to be no use of "he" in media to refer to Manning. At most, I'd support using "nee" and a reference to her old name for the sake of continuity.

Make no mistake about it, pronoun issues may seem trivial to those not affected, but it's often a deeply distressing and systemic problem for many trans people.

>coming from an environment where science is mandatory to middle-school equivalent, and at least one science subject almost un avoidable before university level.

School districts are ran locally and the curriculum is usually set at the state level, so there are differences, but 3 years of science is mandatory in middle school in every state I've ever heard of. In addition, almost all American high schools require 3 or 4 years of science for university bound students (maybe a bit less for non college bound students but usually not less than 3 years).

At my high school, in a not very big town in Georgia, everyone took physical science, chemistry, and biology. However, you had choices for senior year--physics, AP physics, AP chemistry, ecology or anatomy (you could take more than one if you wanted).

No. Developer time is expensive, whether you're contracting it out or you're paying for it amortized over salary/benefits/etc.
