I disagree. I submit that it is both stubborn and selfish to insist that because the past was convenient for you, the future must also be so in the same way. This is the sort of mindset that serves to manufacture housing crises.

This particular (and rather creepy) metaphor gets used by some business-side people and press in a general context, not just when talking about Japan. It's been around for decades.
It's not purely about causing pain, it's about causing pain and justification. The need of the wolf and and benefit of a functioning ecosystem provides the justification, in my eyes.
You can get a certificate covering multiple specific domains. https://github.com/letsencrypt/lets-encrypt-preview/issues/6...

A wildcard cert wouldn't cover both heroku.com and herokuapps.com anyway. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildcard_certificate

For such a community of hackers, I'm surprised nobody has brought up "Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution" by Steven Levy. Maybe you've all read it already ;)
Ha, reminds me of a story of a front-end developer from my (mostly Poland-based) team who is working remotely from Brazil: https://netguru.co/blog/working-with-people-you-haven-t-seen
The screenshot in their homepages shows the sales funnel (followed -> visited web site -> purchased). So yes, you are right, seems like they are solving an actual problem. I see how it might useful for e.g. less technical people who find Google Analytics scary.
Our uploads folder is an s3fs mountpoint with a custom plugin to rewrite URLs to a CloudFront distribution in front of it.

The rest gets updated on a dev server then deployed to the auto-scaling group via an AMI.
You can achieve this for TCP by faking an RST (reset) packet that purports to be from the other end of the connection.

As an R programmer have you every wondered what can be in a data.frame column?
As has been mentioned, EBS can only be mounted to one instance at a time. If you could mount it to multiple it would effectively be the same thing, but then you have all sorts of write-locking issues.

As the rest of the comments also allude, a lot of the cloud-entrenched world has abandoned NFS, or at least in AWS circles.

I'm not one of these people. Rather than relying solely on puppet->all instances to handle multiple deploys, the convenience of an NFS instance was appealing, so essentially I have a relatively small (read: medium) instance that does nothing but manage the deployment filesystems and allow new in-security groups to connect. I have often though of abandoning this for doing deploys in a more "modern" way but I'm still not sure what the benefit would be other than eliminating a minor source of shame.

The analog here is running a MySQL or Postgres database in an instance prior to RDS. RDS provided enough benefit that the minor price difference in rolling your own no longer factored in. A more reliable, fault-tolerant and extensible file system is, like RDS, a huge upgrade. It may not be for everyone, but for some of us it's just another reason why AWS keeps making it hard to even look anywhere else.
It is interesting that in the 90s there was a large shitstorm against Microsoft for having lots of private, undocumented APIs. The fact that Apple does the same thing in OS X doesn't seem to bother anybody - at least there is no such outcry.
I know, it's frustrating. I want a Bluetooth version of Logitech's M570.

Love it. I hope they can deliver meaningful throughput.
>Yet many comments here are saying that people should just upgrade while it might solve the problem for some, there are ones who can't upgrade machines at will.

It's dumbfounding how people here are simply shrugging this off and posting "So what? Just upgrade. Simples" type comments. This isn't acceptable. I know many people in creative industries alone who can't just upgrade immediately any time something comes out as they've to wait for their products to support the newer version. Similarly there are many who are using Macs in work whose corporate policies won't let them simply update immediately.

Then there's many who don't immediately upgrade versions as a point while bugs/other issues in that new version are found and resolved.

It's not an acceptable answer whatsoever.
A large chunk of this is due to business use of Windows.

From what I could decipher from the end of the article, it sounded like China has already migrated away from Intel's architecture and replaced it with a different architecture they could get their hands on more reliably—meaning even if the US were to reverse their decision about this denial list, the damage to Intel is already done. This may have killed the demand for Intel's products in China, even if they were free to sell them.

If you owned a Volkswagen car and required specialized parts which were were denied to you, and you upgraded to a different make of car like Volvo, what good would Wolkswagen spare parts serve to you? You're not going to switch back to VW just because the spare parts are available on the market again…you've moved on by that point.

Pain is a part of life.

Every animal will feel pain at one point or another.

If an area's deer population is too high to be supported, there will be a lot of pain. Deer will starve to death. Deer will wander out looking for food and be struck by automobiles. Deer will contract CWD and that's really not a good way to die.

I don't think that anyone would claim that a rifle bullet is a "good" way to die but it is a lot less torturous than these others.
VC money has flowed freely because interest rates have been low, so capital had nowhere to go.

Interest rates are going up in June, so there is going to be less VC money.
I would suggest having both a "top cities" list as well as a "top regions" list, which would have SoCal vs NorCal or some similar groupings of cities.
Just to clarify, this is _not_ a remote vulnerability. If it was a means to create a remote shell, then it would be. An attacker would need to first find some way to gain remote access and then could use this bug to gain root privilege.
State Management and Scheduling with the Amazon EC2 Container Service
I am really amazed at the kind of things Amazon turns into a service. And this ML service is just wow'ing. I have fiddled with basic SVM's before, but this takes away the part of writing code and makes it sort of a end user product(you are still expected to know basics about ML).
On the other hand, I also don't think this will take off very well. Maybe a few companies/startups who have cash in their pocket will use it/try it out, but the audience is really limited beyond that in my opinion.
The only reason contortions are involved is because you are inserting them to make the issue seem more complicated than it is.

Although skeptical about it going into the project, I've deployed a virtualized oracle rac environment over 10G NFS and with some tuning it was stable and performant. If it is good enough for rac, which has some of the most stringent latency / performance requirements that I've seen, I'd say that it is probably good enough for quite a few production use cases, although to be fair this was only an 8 node cluster.
I really can't imagine this has any impact on any chinese intelligence agency whatsoever. Tianhe-2 is already the #1 supercomputer - what possible difference could a minor (it's not an order of magnituge faster, and software doesn't scale perfectly anyhow) upgrade make?
The Sunset of C and C++
This package recipe actually builds from source, which is great! I swear that at one point the mysql package downloaded a pre-built binary from a third party site. Even with a cryptographic hash, I don't trust it, because it could have been built with a tainted compiler.

This brings me to an issue that I have not only with homebrew, but with most other package managers: reproducibility. Can I have any confidence that the binaries built on your machine and my machine are the same?
It should be mentioned that Alan Kay's people over at the Viewpoints Research Institute have done some very interesting things, using META-II in part as a base, I think.

I was nervous before switching to Simple, but then I thought about how the only time I went to my physical bank in the last 3 years was to exchange currency, and in that time they charged me $300 in fees for one reason or another. It's been almost a year with zero fees and zero regrets.
Because that's all you really need (in theory at least). That one USB Type-C port can drive your monitor(s), a keyboard/mouse, and various other peripherals (by hooking up a USB hub), all while charging your device.

Right now, my Macbook at work hooks up to my screen via Thunderbolt and a provided power cable, and said screen has USB, FireWire, etc. ports. It would be very nice to reduce that to one cable, and that's precisely what can be done now with the new port.

That said, I agree that only one such port is limiting. I currently have my eye on the new Chromebook Pixel (which has two such ports), and I look forward to seeing what other PC manufacturers reveal.
They did, however, drop other ports which were in use. The Mac did have a wired keyboard, using some quasi-proprietary connection - and it was dropped, preventing further use of old keyboards on new devices. Centronix and RS-232 (both 25- and 9-pin) connectors were ubiquitous, what with a great many devices available which could very well have been connected (printers, modems) and had been included on Apple products. Macs weren't _that_ different as to make strange the notion of attaching common peripherals to them.

It's the wolves that are the apex predators, not us. Natural hunters prey and the very young and old, the sick and weak. Human trophy hunters target almost exclusively mature males. Not only does this do nothing to thin the herd of its weakest members, it does little to make a significant reduction of population. There is no reason to think that if half of the male population were culled, any fewer does would be pregnant the following year.

just finishing up a dune reread (on book 6 now). been ~15 years since i read it last; interesting to see how my tastes in sf have changed since.

Ternary already creeps in around the edges. For example in order to accomodate stable sorting, Java's Comparator<T> interface uses ternary logic. Same with Ruby's spaceship operator, <=>.

"As for an overpopulated animal, I imagine there must be a better way to deal with that than allowing people to shoot them. "

This is a natural, humane view. IMO, it comes from a good place. If I didn't have the knowledge I have, I would also hold this view.

Bonafides: I grew up hunting. I wouldn't say it was subsistence hunting, but it was a substantial portion of our winter protein. I was blissfully ignorant of it at the time, but we were what you would consider poor today. (Pretty much all my friends were poor too.)

I stopped hunting after college when my father did - we both liked nature but we didn't like killing.

Hunting is probably the least terrible way for an animal to die. If you are removed from nature, you may not realize that nature while beautiful, is also horribly, horribly cruel. In winter, the deer starve, get weak and then are run down by predators and killed or freeze to death. If the snow it deep, they may not even have to be weak since they can't run as fast in the deep snow.

I can only think of 2 less cruel ways for population control: extinction (or a localized equivalent) and birth control. The 2nd option might be viable...
For the record, there has never been anything stopping you from spinning up an NFS EC2 that all of your other EC2s can use.

Do you realize that in some jurisdictions, you can write out a complaint and summons for that parking violation? If it is a civil offense, you don't need to be an agent of the state to commence the action.

Take photographs of the car, the sign, and submit the paperwork at the local municipal court. Give the summons to another adult to serve upon the state at police headquarters. You might need to do some research the first time around, but after that, you can ticket that car again every time you walk past it instead of silently fuming at the double standard.

Cops have to obey the law, too. If they won't obey it and enforce it against each other, that leaves it to the rest of us.
I always thought that it would be quicker to use

The current state of this package looks pretty good! As long as no Homebrew package downloads a pre-built binary from a third-party, I'm content, and I redact that particular criticism.

Sex can certainly be done to someone, and comparing prostitution sex with marital sex is a bit disingenous. I imagine you don't pay your wife each time you two want to have sex, nor that she would have sex with you only if she had few other options left.

The problem with "what each individual chooses" and prostitution is that it's extremely difficult to get an accurate reading of what people truly want. There's lots of coercion, pressure, and outright threats. I think it's fair to say that given the opportunity, most people would not choose prostitution. It's very important to have a society where no one ever feels the need to become a prostitute.

The whole "consent" argument also tries to ignore the question of harm. If someone consents to be harmed, should we harm them? If a drug addict wants to keep drugging themselves, should we not do anything about it? I'm not outright saying that prostitution harms every prostituted person or not, just that this question should be considered, not elided with the "consent" argument.
I read three books at a time, and only pick up/start/buy a new one once I finish one. Helps acquiring a large back log of unread literature around the apartment. :)

* Labyrinths - Jorge Louis Borges [0]

I believe HN was the reason I picked this up, if I remember correctly. It's a collection of short stories, each of which can be finished in a night, which is satisfying. I really dig his writing style and fantastical nature of the stories. I've done a bit of philosophical reading but a lot of the references he makes go over my head, leaving me to do a bit of research after each story.

* The Design of Everyday Things - Don Norman [1]

Picked this up after finishing Debbie Millman's How to Think Like a Great Graphic Designer [2] (Misleading title, I would 100% recommend this book to anyone). I'm not sure what I expected, but so far this hasn't been satisfying. The first couple of chapters have been laying out a framework and defining terms. Considering swapping this out for Jon Kolko's Well Designed - How to Use Empathy To Create Products People Love [3], which seemed much more actionable after picking it up at Barnes and Noble.

* Real World OCaml - Yaron Minsky, Anil Madhavapeddy, Jason Hickey [4]

Second time picking this up, originally read up to chapter on Functors over the summer. I started over this time and I'm about finished with the first section, "Language Concepts", now. It's worth noting that the entire text is available online for free on the book's website. [5] I did some Scheme in high school and read through the fist half of SICP and dabble in functional js, but this is my first experience with a semi pure functional language and I'm loving it. I'm going through the functional challenges on Hackerrank in OCaml at the same time to solidify some of the language concepts. Decided to go with OCaml over Haskell or Clojure because I'm super interested in using/contributing to Mirage OS [6]

> If it wasn't for MFC, C++ (which was released in 1983) might not have reached the widespread adoption it did in the 90's.

I always smile at that urban legend. It belongs to the same place as game consoles use OpenGL for their APIs.

1 - Microsoft was the last C compiler vendor to add C++ to their toolchain in MS-DOS with the 7.0 version of their compiler. Everyone else already had C++ support.

2 - The first generations of C++ developers targeting Windows were using Borland C++ with OWL, followed by C++ Builder. This started to change after Borland's management went crazy.

3 - Before JEE, enterprise distributed computing was done on UNIX systems with C++ and CORBA.

4 - OS/2 had a C++ framework similar ot COM, but more powerful with support for metaclasses and other Smalltalk ideas

5 - The Taligent project being developed by IBM and Apple were based on C++

6 - Apple replaced their Object Pascal code with C for the lowlevel APIs and the C++ framework PowerPlant

7 - The Lisp Machines vendor, Lucid tried to sell a C++ IDE with Lisp like features still not available in modern C++ IDE's

8 - IBM started to move OS/400 code from the PL/I dialect into C++

9 - Many C++ MS-DOS developers were already enjoying C++ frameworks via Turbo Vision

I could provide lots of more examples.

MFC only became usable when Visual Studio moved into 32bits world. And even then, the mismanagement from Symantec, Borland, Watcom and Metrowerks were a bigger reason for developers to move to Visual Studio than anything else.

If developers now complain about the slowness of the modern Microsoft to adopt the C++ standard, back then it was even worse.

Visual Studio was the IE 6 of C++ compilers, with language features for COM and ATL taking priority over ANSI C++ compliance.

As former C++ dev I appreciate all the support the modern Microsoft gives to the community, but having MFC responsible for C++'s adoption in the industry, really?!?
It actually includes methods for both prebuilt binaries ("bottles" in homebrew terminology) and source. It will use a bottle if one exists for your OS version, but you can force installation from source with "--build-from-source".

The problem of bitwise-identical / deterministic builds is difficult when using most legacy tooling, in particular tools that insert timestamps or other non-determinism. Bitcoin and Tor use Gitian https://gitian.org/ and Google just open sourced their tool, Bazel http://bazel.io/

The merits of waiting for a future Apple Watch version
It's naive to assume that America makes all the processors.

Intel and AMD have fabs all over Europe and the Middle East. Germany and Israel are known for their processor fabs.

Processor makers are multinationals, not national companies. Both AMD and Intel are bigger than the US.

If China stops buying from major multinational US companies, the entire Western tech industry will be hurt. No American jobs are lost when a German AMD fabricator has less demand.

I think an in-browser version would make a world's difference in the number of people actually trying it out, although requiring the Unity plugin will not help. Something based on WebGL might be the coolest, but maybe difficult to put together. And more details on the underlying technology would be awesome (especially for the HN crowd). I'm wondering if it's open source, because I found a repo but it seems a bit old [1]. If it is, you should mention this more prominently!

What is illegal pornography? Child Porn?

I don't think it's fair to compare child porn, which is almost universally considered immoral, to drug use or prostitution, which is a very grey area of morality.
But, provided they don't just take the full length of the video - you have to keep those people entertained for that full length.
