I really want to like syncthing. The problems I have had with it are..

1) Difficult to set up as a service on Windows, so you don't have a command window in your task bar all the time. I want this thing to be fire and forget, not in my face all the time and setting it up on all my PC's, my wife's PC's and my kids PC's, I don't want a lot of extra steps and 3rd party solutions just to get SyncThing to be a service.

2) I had some CPU hogging issues on my Ubuntu boxes that forced me to disable it.

I did not know they changed their name to Pulse. That explains why I'm getting email from a Pulse mailing list suddenly.
Oh. Huh. This was the first product that I would have entered a Microsoft Store to look at. I might have even bought one.

You've just saved me a trip. Thanks!

Who's this "we" and what's this known destructive force you speak of, kemosabe? It is one thing to have a divergent opinion and to express it reasonably (and kudos for not being inflammatory), but it is another entirely to make assertions about what's "known", without conceding the possibility of doubt, when one is confronted with reasonable people having opposite opinions.

If you changed "know" above to "believe", then I think that would raise the level of discourse and be more respectful.
Planes could take a lot of beating and still fly. Grandfather flew a bomber in World War 2 and planes would come back with hundreds of holes. Losing a patch should not have brought down the plane. A modern airline, yes, it could have a much bigger effect. Pressurized hulls, electronic flight systems etc are more fragile.
I hear this mentioned a lot, but I'd be interested in hearing how many opportunities a company like Google would give someone. If you fail twice, would you be given a third opportunity in a few years? How about if you fail again?

I think a lot of people would be turned off from applying a second time, in case they blow what might be their last chance. They'd rather wait until they feel they are ready, and for many people that may be never.
There should a name and shame on this one. What is the university, and what does it think it is doing?
How common is it to have a peer who can introduce you to a hiring manager? I have plenty of friends, and none can get me a meeting with a hiring manager at a good company. Most of my friends are unemployed or working at Panera Bread.

Any advice?
there's a great deal of diversity in religion.

The fact that some religious groups have taken a particular stand doesn't make it "not pushy" to force other groups to follow.

EDIT: for example, a lot of religions don't have a problem with pork, but some do. It would be pushy to require a kosher or halal deli to serve pork. Likewise, there are some who want to require, say, Southern Baptist churches to perform same-sex weddings; that's pushy.
In a nutshell, to update a JSON document you:

* include properties with updated values
* leave out properties that should be unchanged
* set properties null to remove them

It's the approach github and others have taken.
I had no idea whatsoever. I've never seen this clip before and that was totally an accidental outed.

I actually can think of one co-worker who might have some difficulty with this news today...
I'm building an app that caters to the 18-29 market in the US. I've yet to see someone use IE. It's all about market type.
Ohhhh, I didn't realize that was the end goal. In that case yeah, this is useful, if you want to run Postgres on every node in your network (which, yikes). Would still rather separate the query engine from the data feed, though. My ideal would be a database application that sends out a request to update the database and returns new records as they come in (or sorted/ordered if preferred)
Adoption rules are covered under different laws. Why not attack those rules, instead of marriage? It seems indirect. As you suggest, why not arrest, or execute, or lobotomize as well? Unmarried people can adopt - so what's the connection then?

I think, because the argument is thrown up semi-randomly - See! They might adopt! That would be awful! Just another red herring, saying anything at all that might convince a voter to strike down the right to marry.
When performance matters, code is re-written to the nth degree. When it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter.
Pretty much every country in the world, both 'first-world' and poor countries, has it better than USA in this regard.

Let this serve as a warning for young (age-with-a-potential-to-have-a-family) people who might be tempted to relocate to California - you have to ask for a significant premium in salary, since even in good companies (the OP lists multiple items where her job is considered 'above average') you're simply not getting as good conditions as the absolute minimum mandated elsewhere even for the cheapest entry level jobs.

Locally, a shelf-stacker in the most cost-cutting-oriented local supermarket gets far better maternity leave conditions than those described here.
Unless you compare it to a Garmin Vivosmart, which does notifications and lasts about 7 days. No GPS, but fully waterproof.

Or if you compare it to the just-announced but not yet available Fitbit Surge, which claims 5 days without GPS.

Two days is not much time in this space.
All are fairly relevant in the user's profile, which is where this appeared.
But the root of this thread was talking about users encountering 99th percentile for at least one resource on the page. But the common pattern is that most of the resources on a page are static (even if the generation of the page itself is dynamic).

I'll note that I'm excluding API calls here. I don't commonly hear API calls referred to as 'resources' on a page, so I'm assuming that this wasn't being referred to.
In so-called single page sites, the data services are the server side dynamism. The only difference is that you've moved the template engine client-side, and replaced one call to the server-side application with multiple calls.

SQL injection attacks are just as possible against those kinds of apps, although slightly tougher to configure because you need to read client-side JS to find the service URLs, tokens, etc.

Drupal is used to power client-side JS-based sites. The current Tonight Show website is a recent example.
Or bank any leave at all. My current employer wipes vacation days on Jan 1.
Hmm, I wonder if it will suffer from the same issues as BTSync if I try to sync a large number of folders... I will be running on Ubuntu but that does suck that you can't run it as a windows server.
So it turns out I love espresso, but I don't drink alcohol. Does that put me in the "freak of nature" category?
Is there even a legit/documented chain of custody on the metal patch?
>> Let's rename this site to Serious Business News, shall we?.

Yes. Hackers may be practical and honest about limits, but they focus more on potentials, possibilities. Hackers get excited about projects like Ara. Hackers ask: what can be done with this? Rather than say foolish things like "this is a solution seeking a problem".
It looks better like this:

How do you get to write so well in HN?
Sometimes when reading HN I wonder how people get to express their ideas in such a clear and persuasive way, many times they seem to be very intelligent and informed. I have been trying to improve my English a little but not having anybody to write to or any need to use English makes me believe that I will be stagnated in a low level profile, and that I will never will achieve the level of mastery and proficiency they show so well in their writing.

Recently, reading some cites, like Rooselvelt "man in the arena" I got a little sad because perhaps I am doomed to never be such a great speaker. Anyway, I will continue reading HN, enyoing such an intelligent and informative community and trying to hone my English. So bravo for HN.

I find it not justice that "Tim Cook Speaks Up" is eating my cake. What if I am only a heterosexual guy, a troll and my only goal is to get some karma points.

I realize that the language topic is a pure one and that it should be separated (sanned) from a egotists, only looking for karma points guy. But what?, you guys are beautiful and constructive, sorry for not just being that type.
Testing the Activity Tracker
Python translated to Javascript. The fastest executing code ever.
On the other hand I learned not to be too dogmatic about DRY because it becomes costly especially in distributed systems where additional dependencies introduced for reusability sake complicate build process and deployment.
Sometimes it's better to copy&paste instead of coupling components.
I wonder how being a woman at Netflix and other such companies with their unlimited vacation policy is like .
I believe CrashPlan does too.
> Consider a big supercomputer doing finite-element analysis. Or a big network of packet routers.

There's another perspective here. We always argue from a very anthropocentric point of view and measure experience based on actions and reactions that a human would perform. Ie. asking questions, seeing something and saying something based on what we see, etc. The supercomputer you described can hardly be considered conscious with regards to such actions. However it might be very conscious with regards to a different set of actions, ie. turning off some switches which allow for intercommunication between the different CPUs (the computer might react by rerouting some packets), it might react to raising the room temperature (by spinning up the fans), it might react to removing some RAM (by allocating more data on the hard disk), etc.
I disagree with you on a number of your points

The symbol/intermec handhelds are expensive, terribly unreliable, slow, require a lot of maintenance and are terribly fiddly especially for people with gloves on (as you'd expect in the freezer department in Morrisons).

I had different experience with industrial scanning equipment from reliable manufacturers. I found them to be reliable. They could be dropped and still function and they had a much wider functional temperature range. If the operator is wearing gloves I would expect that the environment is outside the functional temperature range of a tablet.

As for the software development side of things, you're pretty much limited to a subset of win32 that isn't very pleasant to use or a mobile CLR which is so incredibly slow it makes you want to hang yourselves. Then there's the incredible deathly pain of deploying the code to all those devices.

There were many devices that supported OS's other than Windows CE as well as Windows CE device that didn't require the CLR for applications. There were also thin client models where the code executed on the server which made deployment much simpler.

It took us three years to deliver a point of delivery system with the same staffing level with much smaller scope which was simply signing for stuff and listing a delivery schedule. The integration was done by a third party - we just passed messages back and forth.

You had a remarkably tolerant customer.

They did a damn good job at TW on this one if you ask me.

I disagree.
Exactly. Keep in mind that the people insisting that homosexuality is such a terrible sin are putting quite a bit of their own spin on the bible. If you were to determine the contents on the bible based on what a certain brand of American Christian talks about, you'd think it all revolves around Genesis 1 and some bits of Leviticus. The entire New Testament is nowhere in sight.
We Can Now Send Thoughts Directly Between Brains
Brendan Eich is entitled to his opinion, and a large not for profit is entitled not to want someone with that opinion as a figurehead.

As for who has done more for what — web browsers were going to have a scripting language. Is Javascript so astoundingly good that we can only assume any alternative would have been worse?
Maybe I'm missing it, but I can not find any documentation on what languages are supported. Then I figured it used the gist language declaration to support all(?) languages. But for python, it says print is not defined. So that's not it. I'm kind of at a loss for what's supposed to be going on.
What it means to “disrupt” – in 2 minutes
I wonder how a simple law stating that "sick leave" can be used for having a baby would work for this.
Escalate.
I use BTSync, it just works, no need to worry about capacity any more, just make sure I don't sync laptop with huge photos folder.
This is a systemic problem here in the US. It would be counterproductive to try and single out one actor when the issue needs to be address comprehensively.
To ad a couple more cents to the pile: email is serious business, get serious about it. That doesn't mean spend a lot of time. Use services. But, be serious about it.

Figure out if you're sending the right mail at the right time. Cut out unnecessary emails and unnecessary junk in the emails. Make sure they get delivered and read.

Any service from a dating site to an app for accountants a wholesaler of underpants needs emails and how well you use them is important. You can be minimalist. Analytical. Formal, casual.. There are as many approaches to this as there are to anything else. Just don't take it lightly. Get good at email. Just because it's simple doesn't mean it's not important.
Actually, it's better without a name because it's a widespread problem. If she gave a name, people might think that it's an isolated incident.
I made the same experiences. BTSync basically killed my Raspberry Pi 3 times by using 99% CPU, forcing me to hard reboot. The mobile App was really cool, but recently it's just buggy and neither download nor upload work anymore (On iOS as well as on Android). A while ago, even the desktop app became unreliable, causing me to ditch BTSync altogether. I'm currently using Owncloud 7 and I'm very happy with it (File sync in Version 5 was unusably slow for me), however I'm keeping an eye on Syncthing/Pulse as I prefer decentralized solutions.
cc1.4xlarge was the first Linux HVM EC2 instance. All new families support HVM (and some are HVM only)

Should probably add a disclosure here. I ran the EC2 instance product management team for several years and continue to be involved.
Motorola is here to stay.

Remember, Moto was the first company to release an Android phone. And due to Google aquisition it got a lot more balls and had the guts to release again fantastic phones like Moto X and Moto G. Also the Nexus 6.

Lenovo would be stupid to kill the name ( like MS did with Nokia). Hell, I bet the Lenovo guys will stop selling any phones under Lenovo name, and put all the money on Moto brand.
blah, maybe if he's looking for client facing sales/marketing/hr jobs. he's not.

i think it's authentic and filters out places you shouldn't want to work any way.
The strategy with the tablets might be broader than this project with other (perhaps coming in the future or from different teams) functionality that the handhelds you mention cannot deliver. How capable are these wireless handheld computers?
My experience with employers in general is use any benefit you accrue as soon as you reasonably can. Don't save stuff up; it makes you vulnerable to your employers incompetence or greed.
how about you quit crying and stand up for yourself and tell them how it is, and if they don't like it, they can go fuck themselves and raise their demon spawn on their own terms.

you acted like a pussy and got treated like a pussy.
Fitbit Flex: http://help.fitbit.com/articles/en_US/Help_article/About-the...

While it is water resistant and can be submerged up to 10 meters, Flex is not designed to track swimming activities. If you want to better reflect your swimming activity and calories burned, we recommend logging the activity on the Activities page of your dashboard.

There are similar "About" pages for the other Fitbit trackers that you can get to easily from the page above. Most say something like this: Your Charge is water-resistant. It is rain and splash proof and can stand up to the sweatiest workout. Remove before showering or swimming.
Aren't they generally required to pay you for accrued leave or is even that not required?

You make a good point supporting why Ara is an excellent idea, and why it will be good for consumers if Ara succeeds.

Consumers don't need to upgrade their modules to benefit from the economic dynamics that standardization/modularity brings. Modularity brings better components, a greater diversity of systems, and lower prices - even when the consumer doesn't upgrade and change out their hardware themselves.
Sure there's nothing wrong with having an unpopular opinion but it's wrong to hurt other people based on an opinion (in this case he hurt them by limiting their right).
That's a bit confusing. Guessing you're in europe and talking euros per month? Cause initially, to an american it looks like you're talking about $1,700,000 a year - a huge salary-- and just dropped a zero.
Eich participated in a public system in an approved way at a political level, did so without letting his politics get in the way of his personal or professional life, and made functional programming ubiquitous. There's nothing wrong with what he did given that he didn't let that view (in the abstract) color his personal interactions.

And, let us note, it's all speculation on this point as to what or why he did it, because the man himself hasn't said anything on the matter--mostly because of the gay hate brigade rallied against him.

By contrast, Tim Cook continued contracts with Foxconn with the sole goal of minimizing production costs by using underpaid overworked labor--and if you look at Apple close enough, yeah, there's some nastiness there. He's a solid operations guy (clearly!), but has directly supported policies that have harmed both our industry and workers abroad.

I'm likely going to get downvoted into oblivion (again, and in hilarious underscoring of my point).
I'm not sure who "they" is talking about in this thread, so I might be a little off here, but it definitely goes beyond acknowledging existence. People have acknowledged homosexuality for thousands of years (that's why there is a word for it). What the LGBT community wants is acceptance that it is a acceptable form of sexual expression.

I definitely feel like there is some amount of "pushing homosexuality on everyone" that has been going on the past five or ten years. It's no longer socially acceptable to think that homosexuality is wrong or an unhealthy sexual expression. Even donating to an anti-homosexuality lobby can get you pressured to resign [1]. Depending on the state you live in, you may have to accept gay marriage, even if it violates what you feel like marriage is. I don't know if sex-ed in schools is teaching it yet, but if not, I assume it is just a matter of time. If homosexuality is an unhealthy expression of sexuality, you won't want your kids exposed to that, but, no choice.

For people who agree that LGBT is acceptable, this probably feels like progress. For people who view LGBT as unhealthy sexual expression, the net effect feels a lot like "pushing homosexuality" on us.

The Defibrillator Drone Is Another Good Drone Idea but Will It Work?
Good for him. At first my reaction was "meh", but I think this is a net win for gays and Apple. Homophobes probably weren't buying many Apple products to begin with, and potential/reasonable homophobes now see another successful leader who just so happens to be gay. The message to those people is pretty clear: better not mistreat people because of their sexual preference; not only will you look like an ass, but you run the risk of pissing off the person who might be signing your paycheck one day. Not to mention designing some cool piece of tech that you brag about owning.

Well, he's stipulating that we build it, so we know what the internal wiring is. That doesn't necessarily mean that what's he's describing is possible or even coherent.
>that's sad that we're still at this point

That said, public opinion is changing very rapidly. XKCD 1431 (http://xkcd.com/1431/) offers an interesting visualization and comparison between gay marriage and interracial marriage. According to XKCD's source, interracial marriage didn't reach majority approval until 1995, while gay marriage already reached majority approval in 2011.

Now obviously this rift could be the result of oddly-worded polls, data mis-interpretation or some other factor and it shouldn't be taken as a strict source, but I believe it speaks volumes all the same
Curious, why fork in the main thread? Forking traditionally is a pretty heavyweight operation. Perhaps versioning might be more performant?
That's neat! You're right, though, the OP was likely focusing on a US president. Not many US citizens look at other countries' heads of state as a role model to the same degree as our own.
Based on the examples and the reference to NPM, I'd guess that it is node.js only.

I did the the idea they displayed with making what appeared to be an ad or such but I think the work area is too small. I can see all sorts of fun for kids in arranging toys on different backgrounds to produce interesting pictures, provided there is some ease of sharing their work. Same with adults who want to do quick mock ups, something this would open up that world a lot more than any paint or image program ever did, most are still too arcane for the majority of users. This is like taking grade school collage work and suddenly making it a valid development tool

Usually depends on which state you are in. California I believe they are required to pay up to a certain number of hours.

It's completely insane that US doesn't have unlimited sick leave like EU does. It's just backwards and ridiculous - if someone is ill, then they are ill, what if they don't have any sick leave left? You fire them? I literally can't stomach this. When I was little I always thought I would emigrate to the States to work - now I would pay not to go.
A thought from Jimmy Carter comes to mind. He said countries are not really 'democracies' or 'not democracies' but rather that democracy is either strong or weak. Similarly, one shouldn't say the USA is uncivilised but that some of it's civic institutions are weak in some ways. Additionally they do not uniformly share the same strengths and weaknesses across the entire country.

You do realize that he didn't actually limit their rights, correct?

He cast a dollar vote in support of a proposition, same way any of us could give campaign donations to a candidate we liked. He participated in the political framework in a widely-accepted way, and the system failed to effect the outcome he seems to have voted for: democracy prevailed, the system worked, nobody was harmed.

You might as well round up every Republican who voted against Obama or Democrat who voted against Bush because they're clearly enemies of liberty. Be careful what you wish for.
