My complaint about liberal arts educations is that they claim to impart "critical thinking" skills, and will often additionally claim that sci/eng does not.

Consider:

It doesn't even mention the scientific method!

The revolution in the human condition has been brought about by application of the scientific method - it's the most useful critical thinking skill ever devised.

It's a 5 year old browser. The only operating system stuck on IE8 is Windows XP, a 13 year old operating system. I have a feeling that anyone still using it won't take much notice of things being a little broken.
Agree. And those Merlin-1D seem to be very efficient from economical point of view. Technically they are also good - record setting for open cycle engines.

However, NK-33 are closed cycle and have better Isp. Economically they also made a lot of sense for Orbital, since they were bought as already made for another project. It can be justified.
This is good to know. Any suggestions for a better name?

So, I had a quick look at your links, and found nothing new there. The artifacts point to human presence (hardly a surprise), but there is little more than conjecture to link them to Earhart or Noonan. In fact, the telegraph writers clearly thought an Earhart link was unlikely.
No, this isn't an option.

Writing a blog post about "fixing security problems" will not attract new customers for 99.99% of startups, unless security is a core value prop for your product (Stripe, for example).

Your average Airbnb user does not read Hacker News, waiting to signup for security conscious services.

More so, writing a blog post about how you spent all day preventing XSS, SQLIs and similar vectors wouldn't even get to the top of Hacker News because these are mundane and basic problems with simple fixes. The reaction by a technical audience like HN would a simple "congrats...?" pat on the back.
A question for the group here, would a per project license be preferred over a per user license?
I for one am happy they are dropping support for IE8.
So, sorry for posting this to the general web development community; it seems like this tool is only useful for teams internal to Mozilla profiling the gecko rendering engine. I was hoping it could provide a Gecko based alternative to chrome:tracing, but not yet.
The only thing I've tested with the new beta interface is the ability to search all books for a particular word or phrase at the top level. This has not been implemented. If I am looking to write a biography about a particular person, for example, who is mentioned in passing in n books in the archive and I search for this person, I will find a very small amount of these books, perhaps even zero.

If I go to a particular book, I can search -inside- that book for words/phrases. I would like to do with the raw text from all books.

I'm still working with major clients who insist their official browser is ie6.

We are in an awkward spot of soon having to say, "Sorry ie8 wasn't a suitable upgrade".
IE8 is under 4% now globally. Unless your customers are primarily large enterprise shops that's probably a reasonable trade-off even now, much less by the time Bootstrap 4 is actually released.

So, I was going to make the point that this is only true for the controversial bills (a point worth making -- most laws are tremendously boring), but scrolling through the laws passed by this congress I found an example that makes your point perfectly:

Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013

It turns out this law doesn't authorize or reauthorize ANY violence against women. It seems to do the exact opposite of what it says -- it is primarily about _punishing_ violence against women.

That is all, continue being outraged. I'm sorry your insurance costs more, that does suck.

NK-33 never flew on N-1. They were intended to fly on N-1 in its fifth flight - which never happened, because Glushko closed the program after becoming the head of the Energiya company.

Yes there is -- Basho Riak's riak_ensemble module implements a version of Multi-Paxos.

Description:

https://github.com/basho/riak_ensemble/blob/develop/doc/Read...

Code:

https://github.com/basho/riak_ensemble

Ensemble module, the way I understand it, provides ability to have "consistent" CP (in CAP theorem sense) updates in the otherwise default AP database setup in Riak.

Disclaimer: I am not affiliated in any way with Basho, just follow riak_core module development because I think it is a piece of very cool engineering.
I'm skeptical of the existing comments in this thread - they strike me as too on message to be four separate individuals with identical concerns.

My understanding is that AirPrint is basically a linux CUPS server. A quick Google search turned up several write-ups on using a Raspberry Pi to add wireless & AirPrint capabilities to older printers. I know there are also some retail routers & print servers that do the same since I was researching this for my parents about a year ago, but they were on the expensive side.

But much lower thrust.
WAF are a bad idea imvho. They can give a false sense of security and the feeling that security is being taken care of. The reality is theta they are generally not very good at catching anything other than the most basic of attacks.

I much prefer

- external security monitoring (there are many vendors)
- automated testing in pre production using skipfish/w3af/whatever
- static code analysis
- penetration testing
- responsible disclosure programmes
- hackdays
I'm pretty sure Excel can do all of this. I think if all of the data has already been ported to Excel, it would be much easier to figure out how to make Excel do what you want than to port the data to something else and learning something else.

In this example, you could filter the data by name, sort the results by the date, and highlight all duplicate addresses using conditional formatting.

If you really don't want to use Excel, you could load the csv in almost any programming language; read in the records, find the duplicates and spit the resulting records back out into whatever format you want.
Phew, no BootScript!
Discussing them is fine. How does one determine which axiom is correct? Especially given that a skilled debater can persuasively argue either side?

Note that there have been many scientific theories that were debated persuasively, reasonably, and logically, until someone applied the scientific method and proved one side correct and the other false.
First, you are talking about Google Apps which is not same other mainstream Google websites.

Second, IE8 is still very popular browser with 20% market share. You don't want to lock out 1 in every 5 of your users.

Third, a major point of using frameworks is not having to worry about browsers. This is why making frameworks are hard.

Fourth, people who are stuck with IE8 or below are typically not by their choice.

Oh I see, his emulator includes a hardware SID chip. When I read your comment I thought you meant there was no sound at all. It would be really cool to emulate it in software, but this solution isn't so bad.
I'm the author of the feature & blog post, it wasn't mean to hit HN. This is meant for gecko developers right now as it only measures the compositing GPU time, and not WebGL GPU time (different thread+Context). If this proves to be useful for compositing time then we will likely discuss this with the DevTools about integrating it with the new performance tools being developed.

We're also working on exposing disjoint timer query directly to WebGL to let people profile exactly what they need [1].

The most interesting part of this release (well, something that came shortly before this release) is Bootlint, their linter for your bootstrapified markup.

https://github.com/twbs/bootlint

I could see myself integrating something like this into a text editor or a build process -- something that watches for bootstrap usage errors and helps my team correct them early and quickly. That is, of course, assuming that we stick pretty closely to vanilla bootstrap, which we usually don't.

One of my biggest issues with Bootstrap (and similar frameworks) is that, beyond a certain point, you find yourself overriding and customizing them to such a degree that it's more productive to just build your own "vanilla" components that are specific to the way your site or organization uses them, and then just ditch Bootstrap altogether.

One thing I'd like to see is a way of generally linting HTML structure (not validity, but actual structure) with a goal of reducing complexity and improving maintainability, regardless of what frameworks you may be using. Something that spits out a ratio of meaningful, semantic markup to "div soup" and tells you where you should spend the most time mopping up the soup. It could also have some understanding of which kinds of div patterns are acceptable -- bootstrap components, your own component library (see: OOCSS), etc.
Was that a joke? If there's a general purpose querying mechanism for OS internals, does using JSON strings in a proprietary protocol that you then have to parse make more sense than JDBC? JDBC is the closest we have for a standard RDBMS access API, and it's got mechanisms that can be helpful if you want to speed up query execution (and waste less resources) like prepared statements. Plus, there's tons of visualization software for it already.

Really? Reporters and politicians have searched for these mysterious slighted people who have had their premiums go up for the exact same plan. You should call the O'Reilley factor, you could be a star!

A lot of people could not buy crippled insurance plans with insanely high deductibles and severe limits on coverage, because those were outlawed by the plan. Also, some people were bumped from subsidized plans to fend on the open market, but that's shitty employers taking advantage of their employees, and not the fault of the ACA.

Finally, with the heavy subsidies to your premiums, the same plan usually cost less under the ACA. You could however talk about the cost of insurance in 5 years when the subsidies start to wear off, but, hey, I imagine the republican leadership has plenty of ideas to help the common folk with that.

With respect to your first link about the sextant box, I think the claim is pretty well countered here:

Gmail is part of Google Apps. That's pretty mainstream. Personally, where I work, anyone using any version of IE is screwed. We don't test for IE. I haven't checked to make things worked in IE as a regular part of development since 2009 and I have worked at a pretty big company that is often talked about on HN.
I don't know much about the politics or economics of the health insurance industry, but I'm pretty sure if you're posting on HN, you're not part of the group the law was enacted to help. It was never claimed that it would make healthcare cheaper or better for everyone. We have options.

Yes, I'm sure there are some true rags to riches stories around here; but we're talking about right now. I am grateful and lucky to have the background and skills to be able to take for granted that I can afford health insurance. Moreover, since it's not socialized, I'm happy to pay for it. I don't worry about finding bottom dollar on this particular thing.

Also, how much of that is motivated by Really Important CEOs coming in and saying "Our development resources costs are too high! Make more developers!"? Shouldn't the market decide? If there's a need, salaries will go up, and people will fill the need. I don't see evidence of a market failure here.
A WARC might have been put into the Wayback Machine; do a search there for the url. Failing that, there are proxies you can run locally that let you access the content of a WARC as if you were browsing the original site. https://github.com/internetarchive/warcprox is even by IA themselves, so clearly they're working on it.

A viewer that let you browse the contents of a WARC the same way you can do for a zip would be really nice, but it's probably a separate project from redesigning the site. In fact, browsing zip files (and a bunch of other similar file types, of course) was added only a few months ago.
I didn't see the LOX/RP1 qualifier when I replied (I was responding to the quoted sentence).

Let me qualify the SSME claim as "highest Isp/Thrust of any widely used engine". Prototypes or engines that haven't flown much IMHO aren't able to make this claim.

The NK-33 may beat a Merlin 1D, but what much do they cost to make and what is the reliability? If you make 100 NK-33s and 100 Merlin 1Ds, what's your total budget, and how many NK-33s will fail compared to the Merlin 1D?

One thing I get with SpaceX, is that their engines are not designed to push the performance envelope. They want them to be cheap and reliable.
Per project licensing seems pretty fair to me.
On highly trafficked sites , IE 8.0 usage can account for a fair amount of users, and conversions etc. It's a tougher decision to make to take those users off the table.

I don't see it as an either/or decision TBH. I wouldn't suggest that WAFs are a panacea, but that doesn't mean that they can't be a useful defensive layer.

A lot of companies have difficulties getting app. patches applied quickly due to test cycles, so applying a WAF rule to block known issues (this one for example) can be a fast, low risk way of reducing the risk.

Does that 1% account for dilution? In other words, have all the investors already invested? For example,if you get 1% for joining, pre-investment, it will be diluted when more stock is added to the pool to sell to the investors.

Interesting - thanks for the libpaxos link. Is it any good?

I'm curious: what are these edge cases you're talking about? I've worked on a Raft implementation, and I don't remember any particular edge cases (though it's been a while).

There's definitely some interesting choices for when to replace nodes in the face of failure, but I don't think that's a Raft algorithm shortcoming.
I do like that link but it leaves it to us, the people who don't know or care deeply about this stuff, to study the problems further and come up with our own solutions. Ideally we'd be given answers instead of just a starting point for additional research.
According to the U.S. government the average cost for all private universities in the United states is around 33,000. Up from an average of 18,000 dollars in 1981. Luckily, while public universities have also doubled their tuition averages, they're a meager (in comparison) average of around 18,000 dollars [0]. So on average, if you're paying on your own futures dime you're looking at 64,000 - 132,000 dollars you have to pay, plus accrued interest, after taxes come from your wages, before you can do anything like consider buying a home to live in.

It's not a quarter of a million dollars, but it's still a house in many areas of the country, and a ton of money to pay off. And lets not forget the vast majority of majors do not have anywhere near the demand Computer Scientists enjoy.

It is an extremely short sighted course of action for our nation to not curb ever increasing tuition costs. The future is going to consist of a huge portion of our population either without a higher education due to the preventative and egregious costs of obtaining one; or struggling under a mountain load of debt which continually accrues interest, doesn't disappear with bankruptcy, and prevents those burdened as such from achieving stability through real estate purchases and retirement saving accruement. In my eyes, this will only result in losses on the world stage as our debt ridden and undereducated populace stops producing the types of environments which engender creativity and spur creation.

Similar experience for me. Had insurance I was happy with. Had the plan forcefully cancelled out from under me. Then found less benefits for more money. Now I can't see one of my doctors without paying cash [1]. Nothing affordable about this for me.

Huh. This is novel. I don't know what to call it (initially I thought it was another tablet thing).

I'm kinda intrigued by where it'll go.
I have catastrophic insurance to cover unexpected circumstances and enough money in an account to handle normal, day-to-day healthcare. In setting up my finances in this way, I am able to cover myself and not have to fork over a premium every month. This has saved me thousands of dollars over the years, if I compare the current premium I am obligated to pay with my previous strategy of putting money into an account.

True insurance is a hedge against risk, I looked at my risks and made the rational decision that covering myself was the better decision.

Its not for everyone and so I don't want to generalize. I just offer it as anecdotal evidence that while increasing the percentage of the population that is insured, may be a nice easy metric to measure and affect, it is not necessarily an indication of improving situations for all Americans.

I agree with your observation, but in this case, it makes sense. As someone with a permanent preexisting condition, I am the only person I know that benefited from the ACA. Huge portions of my family and friends were impacted very negatively. Many of them had their rates go up 30-40% and ended up with worse insurance plans.

I am a bit bothered that the NYTimes chose to ignore a wealth of data for a major current societal problem, and just cherry-pick some category that ended up "better" to make a map and article.
If you go to the site cold, you do not get the new site. You get the old site. If, however, you've chosen to look at the new site, a cookie is set so you are looking at the new site. If you click on "exit beta" in the corner, it will go back to the old site and the old site after that.

So it's still an option.
> In other words, is it a genuinely simpler algorithm that provides the the same guarantees as Paxos, or is it simpler because it leaves edge cases unspecified, forcing implementors to grind through the edge cases with heuristics?

Isn't it formally proven correct? And "simpler" would be subjective right? So what do you mean by "proven to truly be simpler than Paxos"? Thanks, and also that talk looks really great.
