Can someone recommend a good web hosting site
SO my friend got asked to find a good free web hosting site, he normally find good hoster, he found a good one for ontimemessenger-losangeles.com, but the owners of this new site he got dont like anything he showed them so any recomendations ?

>> the CCP or Xijinping, how is that different to Congress/Obama?

Not disagreeing with you that their is real innovation going on in China (I think there is), but I don't think this is a great example. The US Congress and President Obama are all elected officials, whereas Xi Jinping and the CCP are not.

Electing your own leaders is a pretty big deal, thus the protests in Hong Kong.

This is just a nitpick but this type of headline doesn't tell us anything about carrot or why should we care for its introduction.

Just thought I'd continue with some discussion. While it may seem like Aiveo is really simplistic and doesn't have the features of some of our competitors, this was done somewhat intentionally. We want Aiveo to be a community built product with lots of feedback and feature requests. What we have now is a solid and simple base for which we can quickly and easily build off of. So that means we need your feedback and criticism. Don't hold back, if you think it sucks, say so. But also tell us how we could make it not suck. Thanks everyone so far for trying it out and providing your feedback. Your support won't go unnoticed.
There are enough factors to make this answer little more than speculation. Please take it with a grain of salt and not as evidence for a course of action.

In theory, the Javascript engine is significantly faster in Chromium than in Firefox[1]. I don't think your system is falling back to CPU rendering (you would notice), but the overhead associated with WebGL is probably higher in Firefox. Additionally, since Chrome runs each tab in its own process, there is perhaps less overhead when switching task context for GL rendering.

[1] According to the April 2013 numbers on http://arewefastyet.com, they're pretty much on par. I can't shake the idea that Google's V8 engine is faster, but I can't prove it, either.

Until recently I thought I had a serious sleep issue - perhaps apnea. I would be tired during the day, and by mid-afternoon almost asleep at my desk. I would even feel my brain shutting down while people were discussing things with me. I'd drink several cups of coffee a day just to stay awake.

Then for an unrelated reason I stopped drinking alcohol in the evening during the week. The effect was immediate. After a day I felt better. After two days I was alert all day - no coffee, nothing.

It seems I could drink in my twenties and it didn't matter too much. Now in my mid-thirties a couple of glasses of wine is enough to make me a tired the next day. Any more and I'm a wreck...

How about this then: take all the immense acreage of land we'd need to use for wind/solar, put a nuclear power plant and storage facility in the middle of it, and then turn all the earmarked land into a no-trespassing national park.

We'll produce just as much energy, we'll be efficient about it, and we'll have a ton of wildlife and preserved habitat.

Because to actually power the country with renewable resources will require a TON of space.
I dont understand your complaint, he addressed the main complaint about clojure not really beeing used.

> how awesome web frameworks are on this side of the grass

This is kind of the point he was trying to make, clojure really does not have any major webframeworks. Clojure just does web devlopment diffrently.

A hacker news comment is hardly the place for impressive writeups about web devlopment. There have been post like that in lots of blogs.
I've had access to the beta for a while now, I would definitely recommend using.
Your downvote gripes(a quick check of my profile would show I'm not even capable) are almost as obnoxious as your willful misinterpretation of my my original comment.

I never said Milgram's work was beyond reproach, just that I found the unjustified spin of the original article annoying. Fromm is also making more of a philosophical argument against experimental psychology as a whole. He references Milgram's experiment as "one of the most highly regarded experiments in the field of aggression". I'm not sure why you think it's a biting criticism.
Oh yeah, definitely. In some situations performance implications are obvious. E.g. Adding to a list of unique values in a loop? Use a hash, not a list. That's the kind of thing you do up-front, it sounds obvious but you would be amazed at the bad responses you get on the internet for pointing this kind of stuff out.

What I guess I'm trying to say is that you can go in a write obviously slow code "which is fine because you shouldn't prematurely optimize," or you can be informed and, with sometimes no extra development time, write something that's at least competent from the get-go.

For everything else? Profile, profile, profile, profile! And make sure you are using a competent profiler. I've wasted days because of inferior tools, switched to better ones (cough VTune cough) and had major improvements in mere hours.
Ah, the good old 100/100 rule: 100% of the execution time is somewhere in 100% of the code.

Sometimes when you profile code you're dismayed to find that there are no clumps where the time is spent. It's everywhere. This function here takes 3%, this one 5%, that one another 3%, ... you either have to make some radical change, or else make all of these a little faster.

The Boxer Revolution was caused by a group of people feeling marginalized by extra-national and extra-cultural sources that were colonizing, shaping, and influencing their culture at home. Via largely economic routes.

On top of this foreign powers were playing politics in China's back yard. Knocking over leaders, helping corrupt officials be appointed, etc. All in order to facilitate trade, or national influence into regions.

There are literally infinite therory's the exactly match any set of observations. Suggesting new and interesting theory's is therefore pointless as simply suggesting a therory and showing how it matches existing observations demonstrates nothing. As, again there are infinite incorrect theory's that do the same thing.

It's only by finding actual evidence in support of a theory that you can make any sort of progress.

Edit: As to pointing out flaws in an experement. Again there is no progress as removing evidence in support of a theory does not get you any where you need new evidence in support of a different theory for there to be progress.

Triple-A does a lousy job of planning out road trips.

My girlfriend insisted for years on how great Triple-A was and wouldn't take any of my suggested routes (I live for road trips, I've driven all over North America). Triple-A routed her from South Dakota to North Carolina via every toll-road and congested interstate there was (Chicago, Toledo, Cleveland, Pittsburgh). I said drive down to St. Louis and enjoy a toll-free drive through the Kentucky and West Virginian countryside. She went with Triple-A's route on the way out and spent who knows how much money on tolls just to sit in Chicago's traffic. Took my route back and got a beautiful ride through Appalachians in the fall.
That's possible to overstate or overestimate.

It's a complicated change. We have incredible access. But attention is still limited. Signal to noise is a problem when we are only partially engaged. 21st century confirmation bias in the form of information bubbles and internet speed rumor mils are a problem when me are more engaged, especially ideologically or politically.

We see China exercising a seemingly significant hold over public perceptions with relatively simple to bypass internet censorship. There are subtler versions elsewhere.

Even the shrill accusations of false flags, misdirections and complex misinformation may have some grains of truth.

The world may not be as naive. But, it's not like we have a truth button even today.
Yeah, me too. We're paid for the lip service - that's our incentive.

Linus has no incentive, financial or social, to be nice to Kay. Chewing him out, however, probably lowers his blood pressure and saves him the time of refactoring his immediate emotional reaction into a polite response, both of which are probably critical metrics to him.

By coincidence I just finished "New Shape in the Sky" which is a pretty good book about the development of Concorde. There are two versions -- a 1982 version which you can pick up for 1p + postage from Amazon, and a recent version which is super expensive.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Concorde-New-Shape-Ken-Owen/dp/07106...

Sadly I never had enough money to travel on Concorde, so it looks like I will never travel faster than sound [relative to the surface of the earth anyway].
Before I sound too negative, I would like to say that it does look like a lot of hard work went into this, and I really do think it’s a good product. Unfortunately, it seems like another solution looking for a problems. From what I can tell, this product has little to no compatibility with Cakes and Deserts. At Small Startup – which this entire comment was written to promote – we heavily utilize Cakes and Deserts and can’t really imagine releasing a product in 2014 under the food category that doesn’t fully integrate with Cakes and Deserts. Is there any hope for updating compatibility in future releases or is this just another product that doesn’t even look at market needs before releasing a product?

EDIT: I was able to find a tutorial online for integrating Carrot with Cakes and Deserts, which may work until a better solution is found:http://www.chow.com/recipes/21792-moist-carrot-cake-recipe . I would still like compatibility with some specific use cases like Scones and Tiramisu.

Some do. (My dad does for one.) For certain types of trips a lot of things aren't online and, even if you do a lot of your own research, it can be easier to have someone else do all the email and even faxing associated with making the actual reservations.

I also sometimes use one myself in specialized circumstances such as when I'm doing a pre-arranged adventure trip of some sort and the company is familiar with logistics and other activities to add-on.
> If there is one thing about the community is consistent about, it's about getting rich off Bitcoin.

Recently there have been plenty of "I'm out" threats on /r/Bitcoin from people who bought lots of coins at $1000 and they can't take it anymore.

I think there are plenty of people who consistently lose money when they try to time any market, let alone the Bitcoin market.
I think people like to simplify regulation as either good or bad and fail to consider how biased it can be. Unbiased software rules that can be openly analyzed and force everyone to play fair are good. Selective regulation written by those with money is terrible.

Nearly ever country with nuclear power (except the US) processes the 'waste' since only a small portion of it is actual waste. Most of it is U-238 (harmless). Some is useful - plutonium, and isotopes that are used in medicine. Only a tiny amount is harmful and unusable radioactive material that needs to be contained and buried.

We don't run cgi scripts, and we seem to be predominantly in the "probably safe" category. That said, this is the reaponse I expected. I've applied some patching on our machines (read: that first one that didnt fix a lot of vulerabilities) and I'm sure the other guys have, too.

It has just been one of those launch months where even pooping feels like burning time and money.

Seems like somebody is going to be changing gears today. Thank you.
Thanks for the comment. I work at UpCloud so I'll chip in my 2c on the issue. Your description of "how much money providers are willing to risk" is a great way to approach this. While it doesn't probably give you the most universal view on redundancy - it is a good, comparative measure of how much companies are willing to risk if their services go down.

Building multi-cloud services is of course a way to try and avoid this, but I would say that this approach isn't very well adopted as of yet.

Having said that, those utilising cloud hosting services will need to balance their own risk levels with those of the companies they are looking at and find the best match. Another way to approach this is to ask; how much am I willing to risk my business for the benefit of this company offering me a cloud hosting service?
I can't remember exactly what inspired me to become an engineer 20 years ago. I find this "advertisement" (found on the New York Times homepage) to be quite well done. Effective? Who knows?

I read the comment as condescending and as a reply to the parent commenter's lack of knowledge about Clojure and Clojure ecosystem. May be I interpreted it incorrectly and that's why I suggested to shine the light on the real picture.

8 Questions to Ask Before You Automate
I use both Mint and Ubuntu, on two separate computers.

Ubuntu is great except for the Unity crap. In theory, you can run Ubuntu without Unity but I gave up trying to remove it after the first 5 hours of work. If you are getting into Linux, its important to know that if the first few sets of instructions you find on forums do not work, you will need to be an expert to solve the problem. Normally forum instructions work great, just be aware that 90% of the time is not 100%.

Mint is great. Period. It does exactly what I want - to act like a 'standard windows' linux user interface without any crazy UI experiments getting in the way. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
Perhaps you could tell them that the question betrays a deep misconception. We can use computers to decrease and deskill employment. Or we could have fewer hours at greater pay, with less drudgery for the remaining work.

(It's like energy research. Want nukes, or sustainable or clean energy? That's up to society to decide.)

Of course, passive people who stick to the status quo means we get bad outcomes.
You're right in terms of the '90s and early aughts, but I believe the commenter is referring to current market conditions. That is, "Apple ended up eating almost all of the profits in the PC market" means since about 2009 or so. Between MacBooks and iPads, Apple claims an outsized portion of the industry profits relative to its market share, as with iPhone.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong: hasn't Apple seen its Mac line market share grow for something like 26 straight quarters? And, since they're high-end / premium devices (> $1,000), the margins (and therefore profit) are higher (again, like iPhone).
The "white" LEDs you see in light bulbs in the store are actually blue.
It's the kind of thing where you have to say "I observe that I am confused" and have to re-examine your premises, your objectives, and the conclusions you derive from them.

There's no joke to be left out of. The community sometimes just blows off steam by mocking itself. I don't particularly care for it, but usually it goes nearly as quickly as it comes.
But is the problem that the world doesn't have a good road-trip-planning app, or that the world doesn't take enough road trips to warrant such an app? That's more of Garry's point, at least as I interpreted it. Lots of people have travel-planning needs at the moment they're planning travel. Unfortunately, most people don't travel all that often.

How often do you take road trips like this one? More than once a year? Monthly? Weekly? If you can convince me that there is a large addressable market full of people who take weekly or monthly road trips, I'll grant you that someone needs to spend some cycles making a better road trip app.

Now, this isn't to say that it's not a real problem. Clearly it is. Case in point: you're taking a road trip, and the apps you've looked through suck. You'd love something better. As would others. Fair. So perhaps the ideal solution here is for someone to make a better road trip planning app on the side, as a hobby. It's probably not a big enough market to warrant a startup. The use case is too specific and too infrequent to build a viable, fast-growing business model around.
> What I am talking about is non-factual hysteria

Yet this non factual hysteria has essentially zero bearing on important power infrastructure.

But every time nuclear technology falls short in some way, its proponents come rushing online to blame the shortcomings on some anti nuclear cabal that has somehow infiltrated both society and media.

Personally I think the worst problems of nuclear power are those proponents. Without the constant straw men of this or that technology is much more bad perhaps there could be some constructive public debate, but we haven't seen that in my lifetime.

Nuclear (fission) power is very expensive 60s technology. Centralized big plants with lots of high pressure steam and exotic compounds. Billions have been spent on research for over 40 years, and the technology that is promising today is pretty much the same same as in the 80s. Breeder technology for example has time and time again been shown to be expensive and prone to failure.

The whole energy sector is full of these complicated problems. Fusion power seems just as far away as 30 years ago. Solar and wind has obvious scaling problems. Only hydro power and geothermal power is reliable and cheap enough but doesn't work everywhere.
