If a country starts throwing atomic weapons at it's enemies then it will soon find that it's enemies are "everyone". There are treaties and such.
And to think it started with my decision to roll Tcl into VMD rather than continue with our homebrew command language.
A lot of fancy words, I stopped after reading "Russia expanding its territory just like the aggressive powers of yesteryear".

Mr "economist" if you don't understand that Russia's actions were a direct reaction to the US led coup in Ukraine, then I don't need your explanations about what the heck is happening in the world : you're clueless.

My take on this, is that the USA are collapsing and they intend to take the rest of the world with them. Don't think I'm anti-American, I can make the difference between decent ordinary Americans and their crazy government.
Indeed, Nimitz-class carriers have far more powerful engines,[1] as do as do Russian-made icebreakers, which are civilian ships,[2] as did Savannah, an American civilian ship.[3]

Two stroke is more fuel efficient at low rpm. You want low rpm so you can connect it directly to the propeller shaft without gears.
I like suckless. I use some of their tools within my Awesome(WM) sessions.

However, I don't see the point of St. There are dozens of other graphical terminal emulators that were created with the exact same goal: "Xterm's codebase sucks, we can do better".

FWIW, I've (currently[1]) settled on ROXTerm, which (on Debian and Ubuntu) comes in GTK2 and GTK3 variants. I use Tmux within it. It does FreeType and FontConfig fonts well, which I care strongly about. Its colour scheme is configurable and it's not tied to a desktop environment. It does use libvte from Gnome to implement the terminal emulator widget, and I'm OK with that. Less NIH please!

[1] After using Gnome-Terminal, Konsole, and RXVT-Unicode for a while. I doubt my quest has yet ended.
I use Konsole and yaquake always. Tabs, colors, profiles (I just have one for neovim), nice font rendering, split windows, copy&paste from clipboard...

Apart, Windows needs a good terminal. Console2 and ConEmu, not end to work fine... I get strange issues with colors every time that I connect to ssh against a GNU/Linux machine and open vim.
I think it's the habitual nature that's the problem there. So you haven't really proposed a scenario where the initial asking is a problem.

I won't comment on the rest of the scenario because it's intentionally very different and not an analogy.
The utility of this can't be understated. In space, no one can hear your call to AAA. Like everything else with 3D printing, the first things will be small and I doubt NASA will forego incorporating redundancy in favor of sending more printers.

But I imagine the space (and cost) saving potential is huge here. I'm guessing the space station requires a number of redundant and common parts. That has a cost, a common part is more easily replaced, but has to be made to the lowest common denominator. Niche parts have to be carried in duplicate or triplicate, I'm sure. If someone could chime in, I'd like to know how much that's the case.

If my supposition is true, then this means fewer parts need share common components, and this means less weight and more room for everything else. Now if only they could 3D print better meals and more dignified sanitation for the brave members of the ISS, I'm sure they would appreciate that.
Even though the top rate in 1979 was 70%, the effective marginal tax rate on the top quintile was 27.6%, which is pretty close to what it is now. It isn't meaningful to just compare the historic top rate because the tax code was different, and allowed for larger deductions, with a lower minimum tax.

I don't think coal regulation is particularly important one way or the other. The problem is that as industry with influence, like finance, were able to escape legitimate regulation, the total amount of regulation on business has roughly doubled since the mid 70's, which is a drag on the size and resilience of the economy.
This. As a glaring example, consider the various Ecstasies of Saint Teresa (e.g. the one by Bernini[0] or Albertoni[1]).

> xterm is bloated and unmaintainable. [...] It has over 65K lines of code and emulates obscure and obsolete terminals you will never need. The popular alternative, rxvt has only 32K lines of code. This is just too much for something as simple as a terminal emulator; it’s yet another example of code complexity.

Ok, I am interested.

Emm... tmux is a 32K lines of code. That kind of defeats the purpose of the opening paragraph.
I'm only stating the obvious that racial bias has historically transcended skin color even if the terms "white" and "non-white" are still used. References:

http://professorwhatif.wordpress.com/2008/08/11/what-if-your...

> Irish, Jewish, Italian, and Eastern Europeans with light/white skin have at various historical periods not been considered white. The changing rules and requirements regarding who gets to be in the white club are related to systems of power and privilege. This is why whiteness is defined by exclusion rather than inclusion.

> While US history quite clearly excluded Asians, Indigenous Peoples, and African Americans from the white category, Europeans have been excluded, included, or partially included in the white club depending on religious belief, economic climate, labor skills, etc.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/2014...

http://www2.law.ucla.edu/volokh/asian.htm

> The racial divisions between white and Asian, once so stark and to many almost unbridgeable, are quickly fading away. Marriages between Asians and whites are increasingly common; while anti-Asian bigotry exists, it is (at least among whites) much rarer than it was only one or two generations ago. As with the experience of the American Irish, Italians, Jews, and many other groups, the Asian experience shows that racial divisions and hostilities can subside over time.

Askhistorians has a bunch of good discussions on the issue:

http://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/1s62iy/europe...

http://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/1cg6e0/when_a...

E.g.:

> I attended a lecture on this. Essentially, whiteness is a malleable concept that includes or excludes different races over time. While we perhaps naively think that "white" is based on the color of skin or continent of origin, Mexicans, for example, of entirely Spanish (i.e. European) descent are considered non-white. But they didn't use to - other than the Census of 1930, they were considered white in the early 20th Century. On the most recent census, 49% of Latinos checked "White" as their race. (Most of the rest checked "other".)

> Jews, Italians, Irish, etc., are all races that were considered non-white (which meant English in the most restrictive use of the word) to begin with, but "became white" over time. In the case of the Irish, this happened when Irish people started appearing in prominent places - sports athletes, police commissioners (the Philadelphia police department had a lot of Irish in it), politicians, and so forth. With the Jews, it happened when they too moved up the social ladder, becoming one of the most educated subgroups in America (Jews have about 5 times the average number of academic professors). I'm not familiar with the Italian story.

A 2 stroke diesel is different from a 2 stroke gasoline engine. It doesn't have the same environmental issues because there is no oil in the intake. The only downside is it needs a supercharger to work so it's not practical in small engines. Most(all?) large diesels like in trains and ships are 2 stroke because of the better power/weight ratio.
> If someone could chime in, I'd like to know how much that's the case.

I'd be interested to know this too. I'm guessing there aren't that many vital parts made from plastic though, unless they've secretly built the ISS out of Lego :D
A lot of people feel this way, especially when they are developing on legacy systems or doing standard line of business apps.

I would suggest finding an open source project you are passionate about. There are some really cool open source software applications popping up that need passionate developers like you to get involved.

That's how you make an impact - get involved and do something that benefits the community, and that you can be proud to have put your name on!

It might not help so much with your day job, but it will certainly open up new opportunities for you, improve your skills and look great on your CV. Plus it's a lot of fun!

Do a search in GitHub, or if you program in C# come take a look at what we're doing (yes, you can change the world!):

Darren Wilson: Grand Jury Transcript
Show HN: (relaunch) spend-a-day.at – good old chat rooms
This piece needs a real editorial once-over for grammar and spelling. I'm not impressed with the QC the current editors bring to Quartz stories.
I strongly rebut the following claim, which is central to the article:

"Internet commenters, in their infinite wisdom, were quick to point out that if you’re dealing with money, you had better use an ACID database. But there was a major flaw in their argument. Most so-called ACID databases — for example Postgres, MySQL, Oracle or MS SQL Server — would not have prevented this race condition in their default configuration."

I hesitate because I don't really understand the details of the situation the exchange faced. But, going by the linked references here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=499580
http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1wtbiu/how_i_stole_...

it appears that the pattern in question, if translated very unnaturally to SQL, is something like:

CREATE TABLE account(id int8, balance numeric);
...
BEGIN;
SELECT balance FROM account WHERE id = 123;
-- application sees 100, subtracts 90, sees that
-- it's still positive and does:
UPDATE account SET balance = 10 WHERE id = 123;
COMMIT;

Technically speaking, running that in postgres in the default configuration (read committed) is prone to a race, and you'd need to use repeatable read or serializable mode to protect you.

But that's ridiculous. Anyone using SQL would instead do:

CREATE TABLE account(id int8, balance numeric, check(balance >= 0));
...
UPDATE account SET balance = balance - 90 WHERE id = 123;

And that is not prone to a race. Try it in any version of postgres, in any configuration. You can't get double withdrawls (where only one takes effect), and you can't get it to go below zero.

So, the author is technically right: (a) if you translate the NoSQL-isms into SQL in an unnatural way; and (b) don't bother to use SERIALIZABLE mode, which costs very little in most situations.

I agree with the author that isolation is tricky, and developers should not be expected to understand the nuances. And I applaud the development of a testing framework to really understand the various kinds of isolation and how they apply to different products. But the example is a bad one, because it actually does work just fine in postgres, and probably many other systems.
I think Latin America is doing quite a lot better for "petty tyrants" this century than it did for most of the last. The main difference is that the US hasn't been as successful at replacing the uncooperative ones with its own.
meh can't read it. Article won't display on firefox. On IE formatting isn't correct and half the article is unreadable. Can anyone post the contents of the article.
Interesting! One minor quibble:

> The idea of isolation is that we want our database to be able to process several transactions at the same time (otherwise it would be terribly slow)

Not necessarily true. Things like Prevayler and LMAX provide isolation by processing transactions one at a time, and they're very fast. They manage this by keeping everything relevant hot in RAM. LMAX, for example, can do 6 million TPS for a financial trading platform. You can read Martin Fowler writing about LMAX here: http://martinfowler.com/articles/lmax.html
Now it is a good time to read 'The Road to Serfdom' by F. Hayek one more time. Rising expectations of some part of the society that the government can give them a shield from change and solve their problems are common during a crisis. On the other hand, governments everywhere, the West included, are eager to take more and more control over individual life.

Neat idea, how is that enforced?
[per PG's essay] it is clear that our current hypersensitivity to racism is a current moral fashion

Is it, actually? Or is it a stance acquired after centuries of marginalization? Consider PG's examination of social issues:

Changes between the past and the present sometimes do represent progress. ... But this becomes rapidly less true as you move away from the certainty of the hard sciences. By the time you get to social questions, many changes are just fashion. The age of consent fluctuates like hemlines.

I don't expect that marginalization of entire groups of people will be in vogue again any time soon. Note that the negation of one of PG's many (LOL) weasel-worded statements ("many changes are just fashion") covers policies that were ridiculous (like women's suffrage) or barbaric (child labor and slavery).

No rational person -- PG included -- would support regressing on these issues. It's highly unlikely that his article supports your claim (or any other claim re: sensitivity on national/global socioeconomic tragedies).

Here's a counterargument: maybe the ban on racism by civilized, well-adjusted people isn't hypersensitive silliness, but the imposition of a new standard for discourse based on respect for fellow people?

I've just tried again and the same thing happened - I scheduled about 8 or 9 posts. Then I clicked on "Your Queue" and only 1 post was in the queue, and the rest had been lost.
I think the point is: do one thing and do it well.

In this view, I guess it's not the terminal's duty to do multiplexing, scrolling etc. Tmux is meant to do the job, so its codebase size should not be added together with st's. They're separate software, each doing its thing and doing it well, an approach completely opposite to that of other software (e.g. emacs) that do lots of things.

CCC Event Weblog: Let’s Do the Halfnarp
The article is light on all important details.

The most obvious questions:

What language are they using to run ExtractBot?

How did they identify the expensive function?

Where was this expensive function (CSS bot is mentioned, is this their code or did they use a lib in which the fix would be of interest to others)?

Is the ExtractBot home page demo form purposefully broken at present due to HN load, or just broken for me?

Without knowing those things, some guesses: It's a scraper in Node or Ruby, it uses a load of existing libs that were not written with performance in mind. Those libs pull apart HTML and extract text values which are returned in a JSON doc (or something). They wondered why they were running so hot, managed (intentionally? fortuitously?) to spot some loop that needn't exist, or an expensive function that could be avoided by some cheap caching.
When I worked at Facebook we would measure performance gains (or losses) in terms of metric tons of computers saved (or lost).

http://carlos.bueno.org/optimization

There was also a rule about always showing your work. ;) The details of the actual optimization are less important than the means by which one measured where the CPU time was going, and how the expected result was confirmed.
Not quite, the opening paragraph says rxvt is "only 32K", but of course st (which is the program being talked about) is around 4K.

this text is biased to the bone!
I meant the distribution problem of getting the file to the server. I grant that it's a petty annoyance, but it is still an annoying thing. And logging into a new server always carries with it the question of whether it's worth fixing it permanently when you barely use it.

For the machines I regularly use I have terminfo files in my dotfiles git repo.
