Github private, both for my personal and my company account. Mainly because if the ease of giving others access, as most of my peers use it as well. I don't want to have multiple accounts at multiple services for that.

I use Stash at one client and like it, especially when integrated with JIRA. Not that I have much love for JIRA, but if you track all details, it's the tool to go for.
Bitbucket (free) and self-hosted without a fancy interface (linode, synced to digital ocean, dreamhost)
Awesome!

There are currently no good "poll as a service" solutions out there. Not long ago, I searched pretty hard and tried all I could find.

For a MVP I only miss one feature in your solution: The ability to add options later on.
Self-hosted Gitlab. We have more than 20 projects in it but only a few of them can be called large.

Frighteningly accurate. Most people shun the very act of investigating claims made by public figures if a.) (they believe) their livelihood is at stake on the issue && b.) said statements "tow the line."

My take on both examples: it's up to the rest of the electorate to raise the political stakes on said issues. At least to the point where two presidential candidates can't fight over who's more pro-coal. Or to the point where the rest of Louisiana (or even out-of-staters) can call bullshit on 11th hour text-swapping of bills immediately before they hit the floor -- that was just remarkable. Actions such as these should provide enough ammunition for a meaningful and sustained public opposition. Or, at the very least, actions such as these should haunt the "Jindal"s of our country in their pursuit for higher office (the presidency). Certainly raising the political stakes by that measure is possible, but it is also why the "Right to be Forgetten" policies in Europe are so disturbing (there is bound to be more to that story).

I use both github (I recently finished a PhD and so had access to the education discount) and free bitbucket (a budding collaboration hosts their private code there). I am the sole user for most of my repos (mostly software for data analysis and LaTeX drafts for papers), so bitbucket's five user limit for free accounts has not affected my workflow in any way. I do use github for code I want to release to the public (e.g., code associated with publications, side-projects that I want to share), as it seems like there is more of an ecosystem there and the website seems more conducive to easily finding other peoples projects.

Host your own server. It's easy, cheap and offers more features.
I use a free BitBucket plan. The unlimited private repos are perfect for me, since I have a lot of small projects that I'll likely never finish. Also, i have Pass[1] set up with Git, so everything is backed up, under version control and is pushed to my Raspberry Pi so I can access all my passwords on my iPhone as well.

Also, I use Git for large academic projects and papers in LaTeX, so public Github is not really ideal.

Umm, is this a recurrent problem for you? How many times have you been conned?
An obvious optimization to that process is having voters fill out an optical "scantron" ballot, then run the ballot thru a scanner and lock the paper ballot away for later spot checking.

You can network the scanners in whatever crude or advanced way you'd like.

This is what Wisconsin has done for about a quarter century.
I'll try to summarize my choice depending on org size.

If it fits in BitBucket's free plan or you're solo, use that. It'll just work.

If it doesn't fit in BitBucket's free plan, pay for GitHub (sorry BitBucket).

If you need it behind your firewall and want to manage yourself, you can afford to (and should do) an eval of solutions like GitLab.

If you need it behind your firewall and your org is already large and complicated, then try GitHub enterprise.

Could we crowdsource a speech benchmark?

We start with one individual with a trust level of 1 (a probability of correct work in the bayesian sense). All other contributors start with a trust level of 0.

Anyone with a trust level above MIN_TRUST (say, 0.6), called a trustee, can validate others' work. This status is dynamic, such that a trustee can stop being one, invalidating all its verifications.

Valid work is work that has a score above MIN_TRUST. Such work is included in the benchmark (with a possible added check, such as a lower bound for the number of votes received).

The score of a work is the lower bound of the Wilson score confidence interval for a Bernoulli parameter with a confidence level of 95%. Given `total` the number of votes from trustees and `valid` the number of votes that claimed this was a valid work:

z = 1.96
z2 = z * z
positive = valid / total
score(work) = positive + z2 / (2*total)
- z * sqrt((positive*(1-positive) + z2/(4*total)) / total)) / (1 + z2/n)

The trust level of each contributor is computed as the proportion of validated work (by a trustee) amongst their work, minus the proportion of invalid work. In math:

trust(contributor) = max(0, (valid_work - invalid_work) / total_work)

Each trustee may verify as many pieces of work as they have produced themselves. They receive work randomly amongst work that is not yet valid.

A piece of work can also be discarded if it reached a certain number of votes and has a certain low score.

In this case, each piece of work would be some text read out loud by the contributor.
As a student if you have a .edu email you can get unlimited repos on BitBucket as well. I use BitBucket for projects I don't want to publish, and if it ever becomes something I wouldn't mind sharing I go public on GitHub and BitBucket.

You touch on a number of good points here. It's true you need accelorometers measuring and giving feedback a few hundred times a second. Electric motors are the only motors that can respond to feedback that fast. So the batteries will be a big deal on a scaled up quad.

The most important aspect you didn't mention is that they are inherently inefficient. The more blades you have, the more inefficiency is introduced. that's why scaling them up doesn't make much sense.
Plus backups., security updates etc. OK you can not backup got as someone probably has a copy but...

A benefit of private GitHub repos is that you're still nicely integrated with your open source dependencies on GitHub. For example, if you file an issue in your private repo that mentions an issue in some other public repo, you'll see your own reference when viewing the public issue.

Along those lines, I was wondering what additional countermeasures were added, to ensure the boats are not more easily captured than a manned boat. And is there a "kill switch" in the event the boat is lost?
I'm not the OP but i would like to pitch in with my thoughts -the object of Buddhism is the philosophy of Buddhism, and that object is the art of living; the art of living is what they would say at a Vipassana retreat. Zen - you take Buddhism and chuck away the books, while trying to find the experiential basis of that object.
> 30% to 90%+ of the Muslim population

> 30% to 90%+

This figure has no basis in reality. Even if you cobbled together this opinion from multiple 'surveys' a range that large is meaningless.

Why not just say that 0% to 100% of Muslims feel this way, and call it a day? That way it would be impossible to be wrong!
Yes. I live in SF right now, and have friends who live in MV, Sunnyvale, and Palo Alto (among other south bay/peninsula cities).

But you can easily pay for a $3k/mo apartment on $130k/yr, still have a good amount of disposable income, and still be putting money toward savings/college loans/stocks/whatever.

Even $4k/mo for rent is doable. That's $48k/yr, and if you can't live off the remainder (say $40k after taxes), my opinion is that you need to take a hard look at the crap you spend money on.

Of course Texas is cheaper than this. Not at all debating that. Money goes farther in some places than in others; this is not news. I'm merely addressing the assertion that $130k/yr doesn't get you "much", which is demonstrably false, and sounds like it was written by someone who hasn't lived here.

Whether or not you can do "better" elsewhere is a matter of preference. I personally would find the idea of moving to Texas (or a great many other places where the dollar buys you more) unappealing, regardless of what my financial situation would be there. Paying a premium to live in SF (while still sending 40+% of my software-developer salary right to savings/stocks/mutual funds every month) is worth it to me.

We also use self-hosted Gitlab. Its workflow is generally very sensible, the web interface is great, and it was easy to integrate with a homemade CI server (unfortunately their provided CI server wasn't nearly as easy to set up as Gitlab itself).

SEEKING WORK - remote only, contract or part-time (based in Latvia, Europe).

Currently I'm looking for work related to embedded software- C running on Atmel AVR's, STM32 ARMs, Linux based SOC's.

I'm reasonably comfortable with C++ (but like C for it's simplicity), have good knowledge of slow-speed digital communication protocols (UART, SPI, I2C, 1-wire, CAN). Good understanding of core EE principles, a little short on analog side of things.

Past experience:

* Full stack web development (Python/Django/{My, Postgres}SQL).

* Software for industrial control (Siemens, Wago PLCs, various HMI solutions, web interfaces to them etc).

There's really no disadvantage to using BitBucket...
What are you even talking about.

The database is hands down the worst in the entire standard library.

Importing a package to pick your driver? Side effects much? Who needs multiple drivers in the same scope anyway?

Consistent behavior or test suits for drivers? nah... why bother.

The database API was poorly thought out. That's why most people use no sql solutions, and what tools do exist for it (eg. test suites) are cobbled together 3rd party collections that have to be manually updated when a new driver is written.

I'm literally flabbergasted to hear someone singing its praises.
Do you have time to create a project of your own? E.g. write a program that parses the link collection at https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome and renders it as a flexible discovery resource.

If you create something interesting, your name/brand will be exposed to a global tech audience, making the site a good reference for your skills.
I would highly recommend reading anything by Alan Watts. I can't explain it really but after I immersed myself in some of his writings, it was one of the few 'eye-opening' experiences of my life, something akin to the first time you conceptualy grasp something completely new. Sort of like your first foreign language or the first time you grocked recursion.

I first tried bitbucket for my personal projects and then moved my work repos to it as well.

Bitbucket charges per user and not per repo (the github model) which scales well while keeping cost in control.
The front panel counter you describe as "AP" is actually (due to the limited LCD display) "RP" - it's checking the return path, trying to verify it has two-way communication - I.e. that it can send a signal back to the cable company.

The counter will get to 53 if it sees suitable conditions, or give up at 52 if not.
What about when you get a phone call -- the app that pops up the call UI could be updated, pushed, then triggered by calling the phone.
Yep, I'm using Gogs on my Synology NAS as well to self-host and mirror/backup my GitHub repositories.
I like it, I made a similar one when playing with the javascript frameworks. However, outside of play, is Angular really the right choice here? 14kloc, for a poll? Seems rather excessive to me.
The next release will be able to directly build and sign .APK files, with no JDK or JarSigner required to be installed. Still under 1MB for that same compiler executable on all platforms...that can also build PE (Windows), Mach-O (OS/X), and ELF (Linux etc.)

It's moving slower than we'd like, but definitely moving.

If the store named "(thing) Joe's" builds its entire business on "we sell Trader Joe's products", there is a very reasonable case that they're confusing (possibly deliberately confusing) the public about whether they are or are not an actual Trader Joe's. Which... brings trademark law into play.

So, like I said. Maybe it's time for you to go back to law school.
Obviously the plan wouldn't be "drop the drone at the scene of the crime". Why would anyone ever do that? I mean, of course they would minimize the reveal were that to happen (though note that drones are becoming absolutely pedestrian, so this notion that you talk to the niche club and find the drone enthusiast is absurd), but the rational plan would be that the drone would escape as well. Because its odds of escape, currently, barring mechanical defect, would be close to 100%. No one is going to catch a drone.

Do you believe it was the move to CQRS specifically that caused the drop in utilization or mostly other factors (caching, the DBA consult)? A quick read through of CQRS makes it seem like its mostly a way to organize your data access code and should have little affect to performance.

As others have commented, you trade the perception of job security for much higher pay and tax breaks. Companies will let you go when they no longer have work for you, but finding work isn't hard for someone resonably talented.
For public repos and company's private repos I am using github. For personal private projects I use bitbucket.

Bitbucket's no limit on number of repos is what made us take the final call as well. You don't want to be restricted on that when you strive hard to have a more organized code base.

Ask HN: Pragmatic architecture for a webhooks implementation
At our startup we've been furiously cranking out feature, after feature, without bothering much about micro-services, or message queues, or other "esoteric stuff". If something needed to be asynchronous (or processed in the background) we threw it into a Delayed::Job. Stuff was working well. Until now.

We're now feeling the weight of this monolithic approach with feature development slowing down because new team members do not necessarily understand the dependencies within the system and inadvertently end-up breaking stuff during new feature development. (Our test suites help catch the errors, but it slows down development nevertheless).

We also have API-only customers who want to be notified whenever their data changes in our system. Basically, some sort of event-stream published via webhooks.

On top of this webhooks implementation, we also want to piggy back a few internal apps (like billing, email notifications, SMS notifications) that can react to this "event stream"

Given this context, what's a pragmatic approach to implement something like this? Stick with Delayed::Job and spin up more workers? Move to some sort of message queue? I'm not completely convinced that an MQ is a pragmatic answer. It seems to bring complexity of its own, without great benefits -- unless you hit some serious scale.

Please let me know if more details are required to make sense of the situation. If it helps, our product is www.vacationlabs.com and the kind of events that we'll publish on this "events stream" are: new booking created, tour content edited, tour dates opened, tour dates closed, booking cancelled, etc. We're on Ruby 1.9.3 and Rails 3.x

If you don't think you've been conned thousands of times in your life then you aren't paying attention. What do you think advertising is? And don't get me started on preachers and realtors.
This is really impressive and I'm interested in trying this.

But... the video shows a very specific example of programming where you are basically designing a map or a level. As soon as you are programming something else than a simple 3d game, it becomes less useful.

The major problem we are trying to solve here is managing windows, but I argue that normal screens already do that and you don't need VR.

A large screen or two plus using alt-tab and virtual desktops can completely and better replace virtual screens in VR. You have to move in the VR world to access information. On the other hand using a normal desktop where the information is represented abstractly( where in VR it is a physical object ) can be accessed instantly with a simple and fast key-combination. I simply don't see which programming activity could you do better in VR than in a normal desktop.
That's great to know. Looks like I have a ton of stuff to read now.

Is it really? But isn't unquestioning obedience to authority the key ingredient to war, corruption and genocide? Maybe trust in authority is necessary in children but adults need to accept the responsibility to think for themselves.
when a normal firearm operated by a human is extremely practical

Again, doing a crime and getting away with a crime are two enormously different things. The truth is that the majority of humanity can commit terrible crimes with utter ease. There is absolutely no question about that.

Most of us don't, however, because of morality and our nature. The rest don't because they don't want to spend the rest of their life in jail, and for major crimes the probability of getting caught is enormously high. Things that reduce that probability (and a device that means you don't have to be on or even near the site, and can extract 100% of evidence with a very high degree of success, does that) open up opportunities for people to do such crimes.

As a parallel, someone mentioned bitcoins, and bitcoins absolutely opened up the world of casual extortion, because suddenly you don't have to go to a mailbox or meet in a park.

I'm asking OP about the definition of the term philosophy, i.e. what does the term philosophy indicate?

If someone teaches the 'art of living' then they also must teach the principle of how a certain kind of result in life turns out according to what kind of causes lie on what kind of ways of life. But meditation is not the way to solve problems in yourself and it is therefore not a way to learn the art of living. The proof is that there is no clear definition of what life is through anyone who teaches meditation. And I think it will be important for you to know that Gautama Buddha did not teach that meditation is the way to attain an Enlightenment.

If we discuss the matter of Zen, we need to admit the fact that a teaching cannot be helpful to living people if it doesn't contain any ways. The way means the process to get from the problem to the answer. There might be some answers in Zen but, like in the scriptures, there are no clear questions therein of how to distinguish between good teaching and bad teaching. As a result, many monks and lay people have placed their own words and thoughts into books and scriptures, and they contribute considerably to misguiding others.
Despite the monks' and lay people's ability to convince others with words, there is a huge gap between their level of consciousness and that of a Tathagata.
I had this in mind when I posted my comment: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2014/10/06/law-3

Of course the context is entirely different, yet many aspects are similar. To me it appears it is power with no accountability which lead to these abuses. You can find this everywhere, no need to attribute it to one specific religion.
