This is very interesting for the european market. I was downvoted for bashing Hetzner and other German based hosting companies when Amazon launched its Frankfurt datacenter. But at least OVH learned that they need to compete and reinvent their business based on dynamic/cloud services.

I wonder what happens next with the competitors: 1&1/United Internet is probably the biggest hosting company but they still don't show signs of a new cloud approach. As far as I can see they just focus on their "website builder" product which is something like Squarespace and probably the future of the former "shared hosting" segment. They tried to build an infrastructure as a service company called Profitbricks but it took them years to provide decent API adapters to popular cloud connection frameworks like fog.io or Apache's libcloud. There service is limited (couldn't find something like route53 or a global CDN-option like Cloudfront, Akamai)

Then there is still Hetzner which tries to compete by price. They still offer powerful dedicated servers but still lack any professional feature including an API to order or cancel new servers.

Let's see, maybe both are going to acquire capital in the future and start inventing again.

On the other Hand DigitalOcean with its Amsterdam and London based locations is very cheap, powerful and can already be use fully automated. I would probably build my SaaS business on their infrastracture and then scale out using AWS or Google.
"Should any American soldier be so base and infamous as to injure any [prisoner] I do most earnestly enjoin you to bring him to such severe and exemplary punishment as the enormity of the crime may require. Should it extend to death itself, it will not be disproportional to its guilt at such a time and in such a cause, for by such conduct they bring shame, disgrace and ruin to themselves and their country."

I've assumed this theory prima facie for a while. Further examples are movies glorifying war (Homefront, Lone Survivor). As coldtea mentions, it could be considered a form of moving the Overton window.
I'm glad this came up on HN. I got an email telling me to claim my gift card and thought it was some sort of voucher for an online store. Just realised it is used to make a free donation on Watsi. I have since sent it on to a family member.
All allies are useful, even backstabbing frenemies like Saudi Arabia. But Saudi Arabia (or more specifically, the ruling regime in Saudi Arabia) needs us more than we need them these days.

I mean, I realize the prime reason they fund Islamist terror groups is to cause regional instability that drives up the price of Saudi oil...

I check in with what's going on in the Perl community every so often because I find I usually learn a lot more from them than, say, from the Ruby or Python community.

Perl 6 does seem to have become a perpetual playground for language experimentation, but that hardly makes it Duke Nukem Forever -- you can use it for that today.

Perl 5 is alive and well, seeing regular updates, and seems to have a future, even if its glory days as far as mindshare are over.
- This appears to be a OSX/Yosemite bug. If you examine the thumbnail in display preferences, the artwork is changed by artful, but the OS fails to update for a few people, for some reason. Reports are that a reboot fixes it.

-I just tested it and selecting all techniques does work. Perhaps you had other filters selected that narrowed the return set too much? Try making your filter selections more broad.

What is your specific configuration?

Nothing like the results in the results in the article, but one person (http://ourlittlegreendot.com/diy-moss-graffiti-paint-results...) reported success following a similar recipe and using the mixture to make a garden statue look like something found abandoned in a jungle.

These people (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBsIljmgm7o) seem to show it working with diaper-stuff like you mentioned, though many people are crying "fake" about their video.

Man vs. Pin tried (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMfwen84Wmo) and didn't have much success, though in the end a neighbor washed it away, and it looks like he was putting it on a sunny wall in a warm climate.

It'd be neat to figure out, but doing something like a vertical garden where you start out flat, grow the moss, then hang it on a wall seems more realistic to get anything like the Anna Garforth pieces everyone seems to post along with the recipes.

Of course. I've uploaded a UTILITIES folder that has all the build tools. In BIN, cc.exe is the compiler, but it forks the P*.exe's for each pass.
Actually, you're both right. With http/2 the server can push critical assets delivering similar results. But, that requires that the server supports http/2 and is smart enough to initiate the push, AND those resources are same-origin.

The benefit of above technique is that it's deployable today, doesn't require the destination server to be upgraded, and works for cross-origin resources.
There is some back and forth on the "best" approach to hosting infrastructure, but there is no silver bullet or always right answer. There is a full spectrum for hosting infrastructure options, and each company has to pick the hue/tier(s) that delivers for them best a particular point in time and realize that it will likely change as time moves on. At each hue/tier, you trade man-hours and in-house expertise for cost. Typically, you see companies move backwards down the choices as time goes on to find that optimal spot.

- Multi DC colocation, building your own servers/network equipment
- Multi DC colocation, buying servers/network equipment
- Single DC colocation, building your own servers/network equipment
- Single DC colocation, buying servers/network equipment
- Dedicated servers
- VPS servers
- Virtualized servers as a service with barebone supporting
infrastructure (e.g. Digital Ocean)
- Virtualized servers as a service with robust supporting
infrastructure (e.g. AWS)
- Platform as a service (e.g. Heroku)

You do see companies get into "trouble" where they might have picked the right hue/tier but haven't reflected upon the choice in some time. In those cases, you might see a startup dropping 60k a month on AWS services when they would have no earthly business spending more than 10k amortized on a multi-DC/added hires approach (I've observed this exact scenario).

I disagree about violence. The animal kingdom is inherently violent. Is it socially inappropriate to use violence in most parts of Western civilization? Yes. But in other places around the world (and in some cultures and groups in the West), violent behavior is the norm. It's brutal, it has lasting effects, it's demoralizing to the victim, however it is what we are all born with.

Does that mean violence is 100% unacceptable? If it wasn't, then we would not eat meat, many sports would not be popular, they wouldn't display fights in movies, etc. As an element of evolution, violence in some form will persist and thrive in our society.

In your case nothing happens if you step off the paper.

As 'angibrowl points out, the movie trope of the good guy that isn't constrained by procedural rules is very old.[1] The 1980's action movie catalogue is full of it. Moving the Overton window doesn't even make sense in this context. Moving it from where? We're talking about a country full of people that vociferously supported bombing harmless Vietnamese villages off the map. Aside from maybe the folks who grew up in the 1990's, who weren't exposed to any real global conflict, I'd be surprised if the current generation wasn't the least receptive in American history to questionable methods of warfare.

[1] You see it a lot in crime dramas from the 1980's, where things like the 4th amendment are portrayed as just letting criminals off on "technicalities."
You might be interested in Charles Stross's "Accelerando", where he posits a similar system of python scripts acting as decentralized companies, constantly shuffling ownership of themselves among themselves.

It's been too long since I've read it, so I forget what the actual point was.
I wouldn't consider requiring a ton of mostly redundant and useless information in messages (each namespace needs a whole damn URL every time it's referenced? Does the parser use it, or even care that the entire URL is correct?) and XML parsing (which isn't so bad, in comparison to all that redundantly redundant redundancy) to be "simple" at all. WSDL/XSD is yet another layer on top of this mess of complexity and I suppose you're referring to the fact that it looks simple if everything goes according to plan, but when it doesn't it's anything but simple. Trying to get any kind of performance out of it is another counterpoint to "simplicity"... This is all from the experience of someone who has worked with XMLA-based OLAP systems.

That link you gave has a summary part ( http://www.diveintopython.net/soap_web_services/summary.html ) that says "SOAP web services are very complicated."

I guess you didn't read the article that I posted because it clearly states that the robots can't do the work to the required precision. Yes, robots do a lot of work in factories but they still need further refinement before they can do some jobs that require a lot of dexterity.

And yes, we've had automated factories for a long time. Steve Jobs had a highly automated factory in 1990 to build the NeXT.

Abu Ghraib was a big fucking clue that something was going terribly wrong.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Ghraib_torture_and_prisoner...
Has it? If we're talking about Python or Ruby, I'd regard that as a small move sideways, not onwards. It's pretty much the same family of languages, and Perl6 almost seems like a new member of it, yet another alternative for Perl5, not necessarily the most likely upgrade path.

If we're talking about the world having moved on to either Haskell, Erlang or Go, Rust, well, I don't really see that being as pervasive as it often appears on trend-seeking sites like this.

And I really hope we're not talking about JavaScript…
Slow with every new update only means the software is becoming more demanding. I have an old IBM PCServer 330 that's incredibly reliable - if it were not for me rebooting it every few weeks to make sure it brushes its teeth regularly, its uptime would be in the multi-year range. With two Pentium III processors, it's anything but fast, but it's as trustworthy as servers can be.

I'll eventually have to replace the hard disks - I have seen SCSI to CF and SCSI to SDCard adapters that may do the trick.
I'd second this, though it's from a small sample -- haven't had time to read very many non-fiction books this year.

Not only was it clear and inspiring, but it was also a little vindicating. I've believed for many years that we entered some kind of minor dark age around 1970, and it was great to hear someone else put forward the same idea.

This is fantastic. I've always wanted this sort of thing. `apt-get` based stuff is not transactional (package installation failure can leave things in an inconsistent state), not invertible (arbitrary scripts in the deb can - and do - run weird things), and not idempotent (you can install something, and reinstall and not get the right result).

I will be very pleased with getting the first of these, though the way it's handled, it looks like we get all three. The important thing, though, is having larger transactions (update tools X, Y, and Z at once or fail), and it looks like it should be possible to do this.
The current trend traces at least as far back as DIRTY HARRY (1971). "Dirty Harry" was a common reference to extra-procedural cops for a couple decades.
Personally, the features I'm most interested in are ones you didn't actually list. They are

- grammars

- grapheme-based Unicode

- implicit parallelism

This is why Perl6 is still relevant today. Larry is hopeful that Rakudo can deliver sometime next year (not all of these features are quite there yet), but even if it doesn't, the language will remain of interest as long as there is no serious contender in sight.
Seriously, why is people pirating that crap? Throw out the TV and stop going into that what is just a bad copy of every other movie out there already. The same goes with games. They just get more and more shallow as the grafics get pumped up. Every shared movie/game is another proof for the producers that they are creating something that people wants. If people finally would vote with their wallet instead of going for the latest crap all the time, mabe we would have quality games and movies?

1. There are not hover classes for tables. I'm not in love with table hover classes, BUT, zebra-striping (like every other row) seems like it could by useful. That said, I don't want to create subclasses of any components really (buttons is one exception). It also should be super easy to implement w/ Skeleton – tr:nth-child(even) { background-color: red }

2. List nesting was just because I basically never go deeper than two levels and I wanted to properly indent them. Didn't want code bloat for something I think would be rarely used.
Indeed! Having the art in a directory that the OS drew from was the prototype for Artful! :)

> These violations included physical and sexual abuse, torture, rape, sodomy, and murder.

> In 2004, Antonio Taguba, a major general in the U.S. Army, wrote in the Taguba Report that a detainee had been sodomized with "a chemical light and perhaps a broomstick."[30] In 2009, Taguba stated that there was photographic evidence of rape having occurred at Abu Ghraib.[31] An Abu Ghraib detainee told investigators that he heard an Iraqi teenage boy screaming, and saw an Army translator having sex with him, while a female soldier took pictures.[32] A witness identified the alleged rapist as an American-Egyptian who worked as a translator. In 2009, he was the subject of a civil court case in the United States.[31] Another photo shows an American soldier apparently raping a female prisoner.[31] Other photos show interrogators sexually assaulting prisoners with objects including a truncheon, wire and a phosphorescent tube, and a female prisoner having her clothing forcibly removed to expose her breasts.

> In other instances of sexual abuse, soldiers were found to have raped female inmates, and senior U.S. officials admitted that rape had taken place at Abu Ghraib.[33][34] Some of the women who had been raped became pregnant, and in some cases, were later killed by their family members in what were thought to be instances of honor killing.[35]
