Fair, but I think most of the things being suggested here are open source, so the truly curious can use them as a starting point.

Alternatively: it's good to see what's out there so that when you do (inevitably) write your own, you know /what you want/.
WebGL in Web Workers
I saw this earlier and briefly considered it. 50W/inch^3 is soldering iron level heat dissipation. And my take on it was that it really isn't possible unless you can cheat and have the "inverter" be the thing on the end of a solid copper bar that is sitting in ice water on the other end :-). So really they are looking for a 10X improvement in efficiency. Which is to say to take something which is 90% efficient and make it 99% efficient. Even looking at the wide bandgap semiconductors they reference on the web site I'm having a hard time getting more than a few percentage points more efficient.
So you are saying we must stop people from arguing the wrong positions?

I would be almost certain they would have a core fee reimbursement of some sort.
A crate HEMI is in no way a "standard" replacement engine for a Jeep Wrangler. While it is a common swap for the Jeep (for hardcore off-roaders), it's equivalent to a high performance motor, for which you should expect to pay a premium.
Linux Voice: A new Linux magazine that gives back
If you wind up going with a static site generator (like Jekyll, for example), one thing to watch out for which I experienced on my own technical blog is that if you want comments functionality then your only realistic choice is Disqus... and Disqus is absolutely horrible for comments on technical blogs because it does not allow code snippets! It used to (a few years ago), and then they changed it... now I have to create a pastie or gist for every little piece of code I want to put in a comment response... very annoying.

Not a dealbreaker, just something to be aware of. (And if anyone knows of other embeddable comment systems that can be used on static sites, I'd love to hear about them!)
OpenStack is a set of software components that run on one or more Linux boxes. Together, they form a cloud thing that looks very similar to DO, but runs in your own datacenter (or in my case under the house).

If you are interested in installing it and have an Ubuntu box laying around, I have some scripts that do it pretty quickly: http://www.stackgeek.com/guides/gettingstarted.html
Were you using caching at all? There's a decent plugin called wp super cache that builds flat html files of all your posts and serves those instead of hitting PHP.
Will it be recorded so more than 99% of the people could also have some insights? :)
OK, actually, I agree with some of this. I didn't think labeling that behavior as "primal" was accurate or helpful. It's certainly social, and bound to be more or less strong depending on the person and situation. Calling it primal is defeatist, plus it assumes that men have to fight against their base nature to be decent people.

On the other hand, I don't think the article says men don't get rape threats, just that they're rare. Also I think society really doesn't understand how sexist it is.
Great concept! I'm in the process of setting up a Neptune account, and already I can see a couple clear use cases:

* For alarm conditions that don't have a scriptable fix, but DO generally entail the same sequence of diagnostic steps (checking running processes, memory usage, etc.), set up Neptune to automatically run these diagnostics and email the output to our PagerDuty team. Then, by the time they log into a machine, they already have all the information they need to act.
* For alarm conditions that DO have a scriptable fix, instead of automatically running the script, email the script out to our entire ops team. This way, even if the most expert person isn't available immediately, someone else may have the information they need to fix the situation right away.

Besides CloudWatch, what are some of the other integrations you're looking to implement next?
The Model 3 will be much closer to this characterization, and will be using much of the same technology as the Model S.
For the uninitiated, Anil (@avsm) recently gave a fantastic interview about Mirage, its goals and the OCaml language on the Software Engineering radio [0]. Its around a hour long and extremely informative (and technical). It piqued my curiosity enough to learn OCaml. Highly recommended.

Truefilm: Start creating awesome photos
I find that on a bad day I spend more time with the kids. Take them out for a trike ride before sunset, let them spend more time playing in the bath, watch a DVD with them before bedtime. I suppose I'm unconsciously compensating to make sure I don't spread my bad moods to them.

I guess this strategy will have to evolve when they're teenagers and they become the source of my bad moods.
I just want to say that I know these guys personally. They're Lightspeed Fellows this summer (like myself) and work in the office down the hall. These guys work really, really damn hard are doing their best to find a product that is going to deliver the most value to all of you.
So funny because the most important application for programmers uses the complete opposite of almost every web development trend out there.

Also the SSDs are funny to me because I recently had someone who was supposed to be an expert say that SSDs were a fatal mistake with a high likelihood of massive failure.
Teslas have a single speed gearbox that reduces the electric motor down 9.7-something to 1. This is likely the source of the "milling" noise. These gears degrade rapidly at the insane torque levels of an electric motor starting full blast from stop. Something they would never face from their ICE brethren.
They removed browser.tabs.closeButtons. It's now impossible to hide the close buttons without css fiddling. I don't get it. What benefit is there to removing that feature?

Same with clearing the download list. They removed that feature with the last major UI overhaul.

The number of tiny addons I have to install just to get features back that have been removed for no reason at all is starting to get too large...
Make this a project I can download and run entirely on my local machine.
I'm more impressed with the social aspect than the software.

Trackers exist and are great, but people tend to ignore bugs/requests and either let them rot without cleanup or do sweeps that kill old information.
I get harassed everyday. Because of all the stereotypical things in our lives today it's quite horrible. If it's not bad enough I'm white, and all the crap that goes along with just saying that, now I must be strong.

Because when people hear I'm a man, they always assume things.
Where do I argue in favor of mind police? Don't put words in my mouth for me, thank you. I look at how attitudes towards things like race have changed in the past 50 years. That is not a result of regulation imposed on society, that is a result of changing attitudes and culture in society. IMHO the same thing ought to happen with respects to sexism, we should hope that the attitudes and culture of society as a whole begin to shift.
HN clearly sunk this thread. Why?
We haven't tested that, but I highly recommend (regardless of using ShelfFlip) to use "Multi-Factor Authentication" for AWS.
Code's author here: please be kind it's only my 3 or 4th Angular program. Angular is funky stuff (but powerful).
Yep, I was using WP Super Cache and CloudFlare.

Whether or not it was actually working as intended on the shared environment, I'm not sure.
The second one is possible with nothing other than an Amazon order number and some human social engineering; earlier this summer I got hit with someone who gained access to my Amazon order number for an Xbox One (I assume this happened because I was recycling my physical Amazon pack-in invoices [which included the order number] without shredding them), that person chatted with an Amazon CSR and got them to send a replacement order (saying the first never came) and even convinced them to send the replacement to another address that had never been associated with my account (which was a remailer service in Oregon). Even worse, they did this twice (two replacement orders for the same item sent to the same place staggered over 2 days).

I can imagine it would be much, much easier for such social-engineering replacement fraud to happen if someone actually had access to your account with all of its order number data in the clear.

They would be restricted to just reordering things you've already ordered in the past, but I imagine that it doesn't take too many incidents on your account (especially if they figure out you've given your password away freely to a third party) before Amazon shuts you down, with all of the pain associated with that if you're a prime/kindle/etc user.

This seems like a cool service, but there's no way in hell I'm giving anyone my Amazon password for any purpose.
A nice feature of the previous version of Tower (and even more previously, most SVN clients), is the ability to browse the entire repo and instantly see info about the last commit of each file (e.g., date, author).

That seems to be missing in this version. There is a Tree view of the repo for each commit, but it is cumbersome to both browse files AND see when files were (last) changed. Has anyone seen such a feature in Tower 2 or other GUIs?
I'd argue it's the opposite. The people send threats because they feel they have no power, no other recourse to take. It is a last ditch effort to change something. Upvoted ya btw, because you don't deserve to be downvoted.
Yes, and plastic doesn't conduct electricity well, so why keep trying to force electricity through it?

The problem as stated was "How can I make everyone in my game studio behave the way I want?" That is like sending electricity through plastic.

The real problem is: "How can I earn a living to feed my family doing what I love to do in a safe environment?"

My answer is the answer to the real problem. If you think you can keep sending electricity through plastic and make it work, it's worse than my "temporary hack" which is only "temporary" as long as the Constitution is in effect.

My answer brings new information to the table which most people don't know. I'm sick of these threads coming up over and over again and I've offered a fresh formulation with new ideas that people can start to use right away.
Pagekit – new, modern CMS to create and share
Why does inverter size matter? The inverter is already smaller than the battery or PV panel components, so it's not immediately obvious to me what groundbreaking new applications will be possible with an even smaller one.
> Also I think society really doesn't understand how sexist it is.

Oh I absolutely agree with you there. This article is largely sexist against men, but few people are willing to admit it because it's buried in a legitimate rant about sexism against women.
Honestly, I would just write my own HTML/CSS and buy hosting on a server somewhere. This is cheap, and gives you a great deal of control, while also honing your web development skills. (And doing it yourself feels good!)

> Wasted? We're only here because of where we came from...we would just have a whole different set of hindsight-is-20/20 lessons.

While that's true, I think the OP's point was we knew that emulating the old rigid model was the right thing to do and that the hindsight-is-20/20 lessons we would have had are ones that we instead will need another decade or so to obtain. We lost a lot of time.

The reason for this is understandable and depressing. Frankly most designers were far less flexible than the programmers, and preferred to rest on their own experiences rather than take advantage of the medium.

Frankly the thing that crystalized this for me was the "Cluetrain manifesto". What it said was blindingly obvious to so many of us. What shocked (and enlightened) me is that someone realized that it had to be written down. In other words most people, or at least most people in marketing and business, actually didn't understand the web and preferred to try to treat it as some sort of TV remote control with a buy button.

Of course path dependency is probably the defining factor in technical and social progress. But it doesn't mean there wasn't a missed opportunity. In fact "responsive design" is simply a minor surface metonymic element of a major missed opportunity.
+1 for the DocumentBuilderFactory. I was trying to figure out why such an idea was implemented. I saw it sort of like having multiple implementations of DEFLATE on the same system. Seems like you really only need one...

There is also a lot of Java stuff dealing with dependency management. Not all of the principles are unsound, but they do have more long-term effects and make the code clutterly in the interim.
Then my hat's off to you. So many times I've critiqued some awful names, just for the package author to dig in and stand on their "rights" or whatever. It will be to your benefit, I think.

My only suggestion would be a meta one, which is that I would suggest using a nice, full name and letting people shortcut it themselves. "un" is hard to search for.
Any argument I can make here in text would only serve to make me appear to be against individuals having access to healthcare... and that is not a winnable argument (nobody looks good when they make any stand against a social issue).

The numbers I'm referring can be wide in scope. For example, the economics of providing such a socialized healthcare system are difficult to surmise, however there is a lot of data which may indicate it's not economical at a federal level (maybe at a state level, sure).

Also the numbers of citizens with interest in such a program is low, to date only 8 million US citizens have signed up for the federal/state exchanges, out of around 360 million US citizens; about 2% of the country. Only 16 of 50 states have built local Exchanges, the rest deferring to the Federal Exchange for various reasons including but not limited to the economics behind building such a portal, maintainability of such a portal, and some flat-out refused out of political, moral, or economical principal.

The current program provides almost none of the goals it set out to accomplish.

With the current program, it is still very possible to get a horrible disease such as Cancer, and leave the hospital with $60K+ in bills. The current program made almost no changes to the Pharmaceutical industry, which charges in excess of $300 per pill for some treatments when the cost-to-manufacture is known to be significant multiples less. The current program does not "provide" healthcare to anyone, it merely made it illegal to not have healthcare (with fines imposed if you refuse). The current program provides a way to get access to healthcare (via the government) if you have no other access, however it's arguably not affordable at all (the current program is estimated to cost a family of 4 around $4,000 USD per year -- and it's likely a family of 4 without healthcare might not have it because they could not afford it, nor can afford an extra $4,000 a year... but now it's illegal to not afford it).

I digress. This debate can easily turn into a flame war, and is off-topic for a thread discussing a city implementing municipal high-speed internet.
It seems likely, but the whole point of censoring extreme comments is to make those commenters an out group. Comment filtering would have edge cases, just like spam and porn filtering does. Do the dangers outweigh the value of pushing people who speak like this into an out group?
It's impossibly expensive because US health insurance is impossibly expensive. It's not like there's a significant extra cost associated with going with COBRA versus an equivalent individual policy. And prior to the start of this year, you might not be able to get an equivalent individual policy at any price. If you had any pre-existing conditions at all, then you definitely would not be able to get equivalent coverage.
You might already be familiar with it, but this looks a lot like QML.
I'd like to add one caveat with respect to our C# tests: we did not run the tests on Windows in Round 9. With the help of contributors, we've recently revamped our benchmark toolset, and have yet to pull the Windows implementation of the toolset up to date. The C# data in Round 9 is exclusively from Mono on Linux.

To more accurately judge the request routing performance of C# tests on Windows, see Round 8 data. For example, see Round 8 limited to Java, C#, and Ruby tests on i7 hardware [1].

Other important notes on that data:

* The http-listener test is a low-level test implementation.

* The rack-jruby test is running on Torqbox (TorqueBox 4), which is based on Undertow and has very little Ruby code [2]. This test is mostly about Undertow/Torqbox, with a bit of JRuby.

Another interesting test is Fortunes on i7 in Round 8 [3]. Fortunes involves request routing, a database query, ORM translation of multiple rows, dynamic addition of rows, in-memory sorting, server-side templating, XSS countermeasures, and UTF-8 encoding. Here you will see Java frameworks at about 45K rps, ASP.NET on Windows at about 15K rps, and Ruby at about 2.5K rps.

Not to contribute to the ACA vs. non-ACA arguments further, but ACA plans for my wife, daughter and myself are more than double that in Maryland.

I don't know what the differences would be if I were earning $0 per year, especially as the relevant question (on the form I filled out) was something like "How much do you anticipate earning this year?" which is a question I have no idea how I would answer if I were currently unemployed.
It made me a little sad but ultimately when he said he wants to be his own boss it gave me hope. I believe we're in an age of personal empowerment for developers and others in the industry. The idea of a one man shop isn't so far fetched these days.
as an anonymous woman in tech, I guess what he is trying to say that women need to stop thinking that all the unfairness in the tech world is directed to them. Men suffer too. Yes, women mostly suffer because they are women and because stereotypes suck. But that doesn't mean that women should be segregated as a group that is the only victim of harassment.
I'd rather have No-Ships and Unlimited Spice.
Right. That's the actually movement of time changing. The processes themselves are unchanged and nothing could "go wrong" in your body.
No, even if one assumes DRM not to be unethical, one can observe that DRM is nonsensical from the practical standpoint. I.e. because not only it doesn't reduce piracy while punishing only legitimate users, it even induces piracy! (See second and third links above).
>That's banter? That's equivalent to being "fat" or "dorky"?

First, I find this "words in my mouth" thing infuriating. Have I written anywhere that this specifically is "equivalent to being fat or dorky?" Why not respond to what I DID say?

As for banter, yes it is. 99.99999% of such talk is BS bravado from kids that would never do anything to act on that, and in fact would go to bed crying if someone told their parents what they said.

Second, is that kind of talk like the one you quote constrained against women? In the gaming forums males say things like "I'll kill you and piss down your neck" all the time. And lots of males (and maybe females) uses such threats over the internet anonymously to other men too. Including the words "rape", "nigger", "kill", "faggot" and tons of variations on maming, killing, hurting, etc.

I used to get a few of those per month as a simple general topic blogger, not even related to games.
I hope this person is OK but that strikes me as unrealistic. Ageism is a real problem for software developers, but also that 15 years at MS could just as easily be viewed as a negative than a positive.

> Is there anything we could do to make you (and many more with the same sentiment) more comfortable?

No. Asking people to give out their passwords is fucking horrific. You can't do anything with Amazon, but bad_guy could do something with $other_service and you're just encouraging people to be lazy with passwords.

It's hard enough to get people to choose good passwords and not store them in stupid ways.
How To Price Your Services: A Guide For Web Designer
Well, part of the problem is that we've all accepted that OOP is the best way of modelling the real world, but there is no convincing proof. Maybe experience? I don't know. We do know modularity is valuable. We know OOP is a way of achieving modularity, but is it the best way? And is OOP-like-in-Java the best way of doing OOP?

OOP like many Java (and C++) programmers do it is certainly not what Alan Kay was thinking about (in his own words!). But that's merely an appeal to authority. Maybe Alan Kay was mistaken and the Java folks are right. So the other part of my problem is that OOP is not a well-defined concept at all. I cannot begin to agree OOP is the best way of thinking about the real world until we can determine what OOP is; a definition both a Smalltalk dev and a Java dev can agree on.
My rebuttal to that is: Steam (which is appropriate because that's what got this discussion started in parent comments)

I've been a Steam user for 8ish years now, and it's never once gotten in the way of me playing games. The only downside that I can see is that you can't gift old games to friends (or sell them), and they're very upfront about that fact from day 1. They just recently made a change that allows you to share game libraries with friends/family actually, so that small gripe is going away.

It's hard to have a real discussion about DRM because it's like religion to a lot of people, and many are quick to dismiss DRM because it's not perfect. Saying "DRM is fundamentally and inherently bad...but simply at what it is nominally intended to do" isn't saying that DRM as a concept is bad, but that the past/present implementations have been bad. Dismissing the idea because a few implementations have failed doesn't seem very hackerish :)

The core of DRM is: Creators should be paid for the stuff they create, by the consumers of their stuff. There have been plenty of misguided attempts at this, for sure, but I think you'd have a hard time defending the counter position (especially if you want to have a morality discussion RE: DRM and not just a conceptual one)
In most cases, readability is not a concern for inter-program messaging. A good logging system in your program should take care of the readability concerns. I've never come across a single instance of a text format for interprogram messaging not having to be rewritten in a binary format once it becomes obvious that it is a huge waste of computing resources.

As Alan Kay suggested, it the total and deliberate ignorance of lessons learned from our history that has made modern programming into a pop-culture phenomenon.
