mountebank could support that through stub resolver injection (http://www.mbtest.org/docs/api/injection). Basically, in addition to returning a response, you can inject some javascript that would call back after some time. Tricky, but possible.
They may not manufacture the highest-performing cores, but they have consistently provided the best performance for the price. Who cares who's fastest? The consoles went with them because they were fast enough and better priced.
It's really much harder to do this with other webmail clients than it is with a proper offline client.
I think it stands up reasonably well to the table (a decent test for a bad graphic). It provides a good overview of the data without obscuring it too much.
I think the original term comes from a headquarters where the company leaders want to express themselves. "Utility" buildings are pretty common and dictated by function for the most part.

This happens to governments when they decide to build the "New City Hall". It generally goes really badly.
Firefox 36.0 Released Firefox 37.0 in Beta Channel
Exactly what I was wondering. Governments and private companies. This isn't news, it's not even linkbait.
They seem to be in July/August - perhaps it's summer holiday season, and people don't open their email as much?
You can learn brush up on the terminology pretty quickly - the IBs will hire any solid developers who know their platform well enough (so java devs who appreciate core java + modern ecosystem; python devs who have experience with scipy/numpy etc.
A big part though is willingness to jump in and remain for a while, to be able to tolerate the mindless processes and procedures that come with massive companies in a regulated industry.
A friend of mine said that working at a corporation gives you the illusion of stability, and working as a freelancer gives you the illusion of freedom.

I found that to be very true. Working freelance basically means that each client is a new boss. Each boss will want things from you and they don't know or care about the other bosses! So you have to be really good at juggling projects.
I wish catalonians the best wrt independence, and if/when they do succeed in that they are very much welcome to have their own ccTLD. Meanwhile they should live under .es hierarchy.

Of course the current hierarchy is lost cause anyways, so I don't really care what happens to it anymore. Only way to make any sense of it would be complete reboot, but I don't hold high hopes that such thing would happen.
Article just seems like "I misused some feature X and it was slower than something else."
That is an interesting hypothesis. Certainly true for facebook, but as far as I know not true for the new breed of social networks like snapchat and tinder? Though one could argue they are focussed on narrower demographics as opposed to geographically constrained locations.
I would make a pull request but the markup is so unreadable...
>If C++ will exist in 10 years from now, I predict 'virtual' to be just yet another legacy keyword.

I really doubt that. Not so much because of the virtual call overhead, but because there's plenty of cases where you really want control over how your class objects and structs look in memory. Adding a vtable entry to every struct is something you really don't want in many cases.

Who is going to pay the parent a survivable wage? And how is that person going to get the money to pay them?

People are starving (well usually the problem is that they are very poor, not literally starving) because they don't have money, because they don't produce things of value that they can trade for money. Free trade gives people the opportunity to produce more value (e.g. by working in factories or producing cash crops) so that they can earn more money.
Interesting - this is new to me (and ironic, given Aether was a candidate name for Matrix!). The projects seem very similar in some ways - both python/twisted/sqlite server stacks + angular frontend. The big differences seem to be that Aether is using AMP as its federation protocol rather than Matrix's HTTP/JSON federated DAGs, and is focused initially on forums rather than IM/VoIP. It's a bit strange that it advertises itself as entirely peer-to-peer though, when seemingly it is very much a client-server model (with server/server federation) just like Matrix, SMTP or XMPP. It's also slightly strange that the github repo is only showing certain drops from a private repo - I wonder why the dev isn't happening in the open. It's also hard to see what the actual decentralisation algorithm is, beyond replication. It doesn't seem to be using DAGs for eventual consistency or signing forum history.

In terms of anti-spam proof-of-work stuff, identity, sybil attacks and all the good stuff mentioned at http://blog.getaether.net/post/101566226287/a-few-updates-ab... it sounds like Aether & Matrix are at a fairly similar point. It would be super-cool to chat to Burak and get the two federated together (after all, Matrix is all about being glue between other communication media) - will ping him :)
Smells like bullshit to me...
Love my thunderbird. It is the unsung hero of open source projects. Not as visible and spoken about as web browsers, kernels or games.

Works on Windows, works on CentOS, works on Ubuntu. Never crashes. Gets steady improvement since forever.
Regarding this very discussion, I highly recommend The Music Of Life by Denis Noble. It is a very small, accessible paperback that highlights many issues with the book-of-life metaphor that is so prevalent.

Oh, no doubt Subversion has its downsides and Mercurial is really good at what it does. I was just musing through my own tradeoffs. It is a very narrow point but one that I hope is in the spirit of the article.

Partial repo checkouts, SVN externals are the two areas where I feel I lost something when "upgrading" to Git. So yes, I quite agree, there are definitely tradeoffs.
No doubt Tom Ridge's company ScareCo can sell you a pair of sticks - an incredibly expensive pair of sticks - that when knocked together repel super-terrists from your new stadium.
Because the "conspiracy theory" charge is used to successfully lump all investigative journalism in with people who think the queen of england is a reptile.
Dependencies from other repos. Is there a better way that's the equivalent of a Subversion external?
Any idea why? On the surface, that seems completely insane.
Actually what you oppose is considering them common carriers. The government has forced business to accept customers in the past and they applied similar theory to net neutrality yesterday.
It's a difficult point to argue without going into specifics because everyone has a different concept of what the nature of the government is, and so they will interpret being propaganda for the government differently.

E.g. Chomsky sees the government as a vehicle for the rich elite, and so when he speaks about being propaganda, he has in mind the media spreading messages that benefit the rich elite. E.g. he thinks that the US encourages a right wing regime in Israel in order to stir up trouble in the middle east, which I think is ridiculous.

Someone on the economic left (without Chomsky's social or geopolitical viewpoint) might consider the government to be working to lower wages by doing deals with other like minded governments. And (as people are saying here) the media would be complicit by not reporting this.

I think that the government is primarily controlled by ideological forces, and that the government does not exercise much direct control over the media, but that both the media and government are heavily influenced by the same ideologies.

I cannot agree. Not every freelancer work with one boss at the time.

I am a freelancer, but I sell my services to multiple buyers (few dozens) each month. I then outsource some of it to my team. I am able to keep prices low, but not low enough to start getting cheap demanding customers (you need to really work on your pricing to snatch mostly wealthy customers, that see your price like a discount, not cheap and that if anything goes wrong wont give you hard time about it).
I don't mind if I lose 1 or even 10 customers and I tend to "fire customers" every month or two. That's freedom.

And just to clarify - I am no a company - I still work a lot and I do the most important jobs myself. I also never blame my employees for delays etc - as employer expects me to deliver, not my employees.

imo freedom is achievable as a freelancer only if you can fire your customers without going bankrupt and affecting your future finances to much.

Just a note in passing as many people make the mistake when writing about IPython: the name of the project is written 'IPython' instead of 'iPython'. The project maintainers would like to encourage people to avoid the latter casing, in particular to avoid any confusion with Apple products. If you don't like the 'IPython' casing it's better to just use lowercase 'ipython' instead.

Startup Mistakes
How to Write Real Estate Listing Descriptions That Sell
I should note it was different machine, sandboxed OS
The actual big thing about computers (Turing Machines) is that they let us simulate things, including other computers. But, once we recognize the fact that some computers are “better” than others, we then realize that the amazing thing about computers is that they allow us simulate better computers, it's just hard to do so.

Thus, the blessing and curse of OOP, respectively, is that it’s ideal for building simulations (the actual point of computers), but also makes it really easy to simulate a worse computer on top of better ones. So, the real tragedy of “Enterprise” OOP is that it basically encourages programmers to first simulate lame computers (e.g. by building frameworks), and then write programs for them.
Where did you get the 50,000 figure? The mainstream media is reporting "thousands".

You seem to think that the Muslim issue is there to distract the masses, but everyone has a different view of what the "real problem" is. Some people would consider issues around Islam in Europe to be of great importance, and the free trade agreement to be a distraction.
AMD's problem for a long time has been power consumption. They have had the performance per dollar crown, but their stuff runs hot. Only place I ever see them is gamer market and some servers.

What is an element store? An object store?

Unless I'm not understanding the use case, if this is a persistent object cache, defining an interface on each type you want to store sounds like a lot of overhead...

Why not implementing a persistent LRU cache map instead?

The difference is you can fire clients. It's hard to fire bosses. Plus you should be seeking multiple revenue streams.

The stability of a "job" comes from a regular paycheck and not having to do the work in addition to sales. Roughly 50% of the time working as a independent developer should be spent (IMO) working to add new clients and/or expand your revenue stream. If it gets to be too much work, you've now got a consulting company with people working under you (and the nightmare expands).
Also from semantic point of view expressing which methods you are expecting to be overwritten in quite handy.

Totally wrong assessment. Everyone has security guys.

Why does sec get breached? Marketing wants easy access to all data, deep learning wants easy access, lots of data is in transit.

Security is not convenient for operations, therefor companies have sec on paper and audits and stuff but no real sec.
How about

"Conservatives who believe that labor and environment rules are excessive and heavy handed, should support ISDS because it will also allow these rules to be challenged for being protectionist. Libertarians should be encouraged that the ISDS effectively would commit nations to smaller governments. And progressives should support ISDS because it makes government accountable for the impacts of their actions on the wider community, instead of focusing exclusively on narrow self-interest.
ooh. I made an app that encrypts files on Android written in Java and has a C# written client for Windows.
I have released the java source code. I should post it here on HN to look at it and rip me a new one.
What I am sketchy about is how does embedding an unencrypted salt used for the PBKDF2 in the file not potentially make guessing of the passphrase easier
Why does sec get breached? Marketing wants easy access to all data, that's it. Big Data / deep learning wants easy access, lots of data is in transit. Security is not convenient for operations, therefor companies have sec on paper and audits and stuff but no real sec.
Just because a few very disciplined people can make something clean and functional in a language does not mean it's a strength of the language. PHP is great as a template language, but when it comes to manipulating data it's somewhat louche approach to data types is a liability.
Thanks for the note. I didn't interpret it as an attempt to take credit. No offense taken.

You could have made a good point without your unnecessary rant and insult against some people that express their opinion peacefully. You're the definition of arrogance and why the little people don't listen to people like you. These insults were unnecessary. It's not about Pediga.If Pegida didn't exist the media would talk about anything but the TTIP. So please continue to defend whatever cause you defend that way. Because you do it so badly.

“Child Predator Alert”: A Fake Email Leading to Malware
My opinion is that a language is much more than just the "communication" of information, but I am a linguist so I'm somewhat biased.

Here is a decent argument against the idea of DNA being a language: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQIWvd3LhC0

I don't see how this is any significant improvement over just having passphrase protected private key in your dropbox. In both cases some cloud server has similar access to encrypted keyfile.

> If it were not for the huge cost everybody could have its own gTLD. We could end up being surprised that a given company still has the .com suffix. "It's a small one, they don't have money", we'll think.

Precisely, and one of the many reasons gTLDs are so distasteful. It marginalizes smaller businesses that cannot (yet) afford to play with the big-boys who throw around $185,000 as if it's nothing. Prior to this, domain registration was mostly a level playing field of first-come-first-served.

In a world where we often decry regulation that may benefit big business over small business, ICANN pulled this stunt which is egregiously and by design biased toward big business and it was more or less ignored by everyone.

Above, you pointed out that .canon is distinct from .dev because Canon is a trademarked name. Although I understand trademarks have been used to dislodge domain squatters, I believe that's extremely rare. Making a distinction between trademarks and generic terms creates ambiguity. The gray area of deciding between a company named "DEV" wanting to (or more likely feeling they need to) spend $185,000 to protect their identity and a domain registrar wanting to spend $185,000 to sell subdomains in "dev" is yet another reason gTLDs were a bad idea.
Nice points.
Leagit off to a good start
Leagit.com is slowing growing to capture the dev/engineer community and provider higher content quality.
It follows the same version numbering cycle of Firefox ESR (Extended Support Release), just without the intermediate versions.
Because codebase is synchronized with Firefox, but Thunderbird team doesn't have the manpower to release a new version every 6 weeks like Firefox, so they only release the versions which correspond to Firefox's extended support releases, which happens to be every 7 Firefox releases.
Why is data lost all the time?

Because lists of data exist.

Why do they exist?

Because everyone is using Excel.
This should be released as OpenSource.
I wonder is one of the reasons this is happening because Thunderbird works well with PGP, Enigmail and Torbirdy etc and that many of the online guides which show people how to use this?
Or overly pedantic alpha nerds, the lot of us.

Show HN: (Beta) tool to quantify one's blue&black/white&gold "dress" level
My father, at least for a large time of his life.

He was 21 years old when he saw "The Hustler" in a theater and he went immediately to the pool hall. He fell in love with the game that day, and now, 50 years later, he still is.

He's managed for most of his life to make a living at it, or at least to be very active in that scene. He's a very, very accomplished player whose talent falls just short of the professionals.

He took care to ensure my sister and I were in a stable situation, and was a single father, raising us both.

Mostly I'm impressed just because on most of the days of his life, he's done just what he wanted to do. That's a well-lived life, I think.
There's little benefit to doing so. Because weak_ptr points to a shared_ptr, you are still paying the overhead of the reference counting either way. You might as well just use shared_ptr and have a destructor that unlinks every element from the list.

weak_ptr is basically for managing leaks, not for avoiding reference count overhead. Leaks aren't the problem in a doubly-linked list, however.

Do you have any reason to assume that the infrastructure of banks is frendlier to the environment than Bitcoin mining is? The required logistics for thousands of buildings to be safely supplied with new fiat, the manual labour, enforcing security etc are probably way more demanding already.

Now add the whole high frequency trading thing and all the efforts that surround it on top of that and we are probably good for another few years before Bitcoin mining is even worthy of being mentioned. Until then, I don't see we wouldn't have worked out a better proof of work system that's more friendly to the environment, should this really become a concern.
It's pretty neat that the Democrats and Republicans have no problem cooperating when it comes to screwing the American people.

Even with proper algorithms, per-file encryption leaks quite a lot of meta-data, sizes and usage patterns; also the cloud provider can transparently delete, corrupt and revert files to previous versions.
If electricity were free, you'd have a great point. TCO is something that needs to be considered, and Intel's chips are very competitive.

The problem I've run into with terminating clients is that most of them feel that if the project was not 100% complete for what they paid, then nothing was done, so you end up in a huge mess of keeping the money they paid you already but suddenly feel entitled to.
I'm not sure if I'm alone here, but while I've been loyal to Thunderbird for many years, nowadays I find its speed atrocious: 3-4 seconds to load the application and connect to the google apps email servers, 3-4 seconds until "inbox" or another folder downloads, and another 3-4 seconds to download and read a specific email. I've seen this behaviour in multiple PCs, and meanwhile Chrome flies in these machines. It's come to a point where I just don't bother with TB and check email directly on the phone even if I'm in front of the computer.
Bitcoin's Design Mistakes
The real numbers are: during 1921-1954 years there were 642980 death sentences on political cases. It is far far less, than amount of Hitler's victims. Just only Holocaust victims outnumber that.

And I'm not whitening anybody and I have no excuses for Stalin.

But we are just not thinking here about Stalin as the one of the worst things happened to our country. I think that being nuked by USA was quite a worse perspective for our people.

"See, people think working on open source is glamorous, but it’s actually not. Working on open source is reading 800 issues over the course of a weekend."

Sign that the author does not suffer from the "Cascade of Attention-Deficit Teenagers" software development model (http://www.jwz.org/doc/cadt.html) ^_^; after properly closing out feature and help requests issues:

"3. Was this issue for an older version of Rails than is currently supported? If so, copy/paste an answer I wrote that asks if anyone knows if this affects a supported version of Rails."

Further signs follow, like following up!

Lots of good stuff here, like "The only thing better than reproduction instructions are when those instructions say git clone."
Note: this blue&black vs. white&gold dress "illusion" (and probably quickly fading meme) is fascinating to me because it highlights how we might be interpreting reality differently without even knowing it.

The beta tool just provides an (imperfect) way to try to quantify where one might be on the scale of being a blue&black or white&gold - and I think it is a scale because I have read how some people even looking at the original image might have it flip back and forth.

Thunderbird now follows an Extended Support Release process, rolling out every eight release cycles equaling every 54 weeks.

This is because Thunderbird is no longer in active development; it is primarily in maintenance mode.
