This is not entirely accurate. The difference is that ZeroMQ doesn't have a centralized broker, not that it doesn't allow you to work with sockets. Lots of ZeroMQ projects utilize sockets for communication. In fact, because there isn't a broker, ZeroMQ gives you more freedom as to the underlying communication medium.
Hmm... as the multiple down-voters left no explanation... I wonder which motivation is more likely: cell-phone addicts that don't want o think about long-term consequences of their habit, JTRIG-style trolling that doesn't like discussion about COTRAVELER, or one of the enemies I've made that like to down-vote most of my posts.

No, it just implies that there is, in the domain in which it is applied, no objectively correct answer.

The intelligence wasn't faulty, it was cooked to reach the desired conclusion -- that Iraq needed to be invaded. Raw intelligence that supported this conclusion was cherry-picked. Other inconvenient facts were ignored.
Two points:

- I was giving advice to someone asking how to ask for a raise. Asking for a raise is always going to be somewhat adversarial. Either it's a really small company, in which case money is likely tight, or it's a large company and budgets have been set, so raises outside the normal cycle are always going to be difficult.

- As a manager, I try to preemptively ensure that my most valuable directs can't pull this on me. I've got the industry data and I use it during the prescribed EoY period to suggest adjustments that I feel compensate them above what they would get offered elsewhere. I've recommended giving devs $10k+/yr in addition to their normal EoY raises simply because I thought there was a chance they're getting down near their market rate.

If I err, it's on the side of caring too much for my team and I try to take care of them whenever possible. But asking for an off-cycle raise is going to require a sell job on my part and I need them to give me the ammunition necessary or it isn't going to happen. That's just the way things are when you're at a large organization with a reasonably-sophisticated budgeting process.

Perhaps that's the other nugget to offer someone looking to get paid more...timing is really important. Management may be completely sympathetic to your request and agree that you should be paid more, but basically have their hands tied in terms of giving it to you. If you're asking at a time when salary adjustments are common, getting a larger adjustment will likely be easier, especially if it's tied to an above-average review.

Nothing will keep you from getting sued if you are in the US since anyone can sue anyone. Liability is another matter since it is determined in a court not merely by allegation.

There are two general tools for dealing with allegations of liability. One is indemnity clauses in your contract. The other is insurance. The third tool is protection of assets (typically via a fictitious person).

Thus the three other members of your business team: lawyer, insurance agent, and account should be consulted to create a sound strategy.

Good luck.
The push is completely driven by time/resource concern.

The thing is, I'm almost certain that I can convince them to keep the work in house, and it makes everyone look good. Halve the future maintenance required. No time spent on onboarding new developers, no friction in communicating with remote developers. Save the company money. These are all pain points recently felt as well.

The problem is how do I sell the fact that this will be a sizable effort on my end worth additional compensation?
The Internet's Original Sin (2014)
way to miss the point. Part of a language selection for a real -world project is based on the libraries available for it. If I'm doing systems administration programming, there is a much higher probability of there being a python library to interact with BGP or namespaces than there is for Julia.

Selecting Julia blindly is just as stupid as selecting R or python blindly. Language features are only a small part of the reason you choose a language for a large project.
Is there a way to be more clear about whether the company will apply for an H1B for a candidate, as opposed to sponsoring an existing one? I have a lot of friends who talk to companies that end up saying, "we only sponsor existing visas."
I've been thinking about using ZeroMQ for RPC, but the one problem it doesn't solve is discovery, ie. finding a peer to talk to among a dynamic pool over which you'd like to load-balance. zbeacon looks promising until I realized it uses UDP broadcasts.

You can do it with ZooKeeper or Consul, but then you have to roll that glue for every app, or write a library which only you are going to end up using, and you'll end up doing it for every language you implement in. We write a lot of microservices, in all sorts of languages, and we'd like to move away from a centralized load-balancer, which is both a bottleneck and a SPoF.

(gRPC looks like a great start, but I'm puzzled why they chose to ignore/defer discovery. Plain one-on-one RPC is trivial, the difficult part is making it completely distributed and fault-tolerant, neither of which gRPC seem to address at all.)
Anyone with an Internet connection can now see from Congressional-level reports that Saudi hijackers received embassy-level support from the Saudi government for their actions, or that the Iraqi 'Yellow Cake' fairy tales were exactly that. At the advice of our intelligence agencies, we invaded, and continue to 'advise' ... Afghanistan and Iraq, even as the logistical and air conditioning bills alone for such actions constitute the world's largest military expenditures. I might even be willing to entertain Sec 702 if I could see for one moment how it helps in such light (ie, when the 'intelligence agencies' manufacture politically expedient fiction instead of honest SIGINT and HUMINT).

Nothing you've posted allows Ulbricht to hire someone to kill Green, no matter how Ulbricht obtained the money to begins with. Until you cite a law by statute you think allows this, we're done.
I think this is a similar (though more annoying) issue to what we go through in engineering at times. Before coding, my workplace likes to draft up design documents that specify the what, the why, and (sometimes) the how of what we're about to do before we go and do it.

In a way it's like using Photoshop in that the nuances of the language don't really impact the plans at the time, though losing the prototyping can be annoying. But this metaphor does break down because I think the problem she illustrates is far worse.
Also, there is no good reason to use 2 way encryption on passwords anyways. It goes against every security best practice.

I'd hedge that 95-99% of alexa top 1000 sites could be delivered under 30kb -- just content+ css. (assuming ajax/video/fonts are asyncronous in google's algo and not counted towards load time).

In which case it's easy even for the cheapest AWS server to host and server instantaneously. I think the bigger sites have a distinct disadvantage -- they have so many tracking and ad resources, that it kills their load time.

And why is this useful? Well, for high-level folks, pointers are used for roughly the same thing as reference variables in other languages.

For low-level folks, sometimes you need to be able to read from / write to a specific address in memory. So if you have, for instance, a system clock device that always give you the current time if you read address 0x1234, you might do something like this:

uint64 system_time;

uint64 system_time_device = 0x1234; // A pointer to the system time device...

system_time = system_time_device; // read the contents of the memory at address 0x1234 to get the time
> You're just wrong in your inferences concerning the author's experiences.

I didn't make any inferences about his experiences, I made a statement about the scope in which the generalizations he made were defensible.

Sure, I used FATE as an example that was likely to be familiar to current readers of what I was referring to, not as a specific system which the author should have addressed.

Now, its possible that the author's intent was to make an argument specific to simulationist-style rules.
While I don't completely rule-out the possibility of finding a technical solution, if such a solution exists it is going to be really hard to find. Re-associating "anonymized" tokens is a lot easier than it looks in many situations, and it doesn't take much data leakage to JOIN tables together. I would love to be wrong on this topic. It would be absolutely incredible if someone can invent a way to make mobile devices still work without leaking any information that can be tracked.

I totally agree with separating authentication from authorization; we need to do that anywhere it is possible, not just for mobile devices. Unfortunately, the trend has been in the reverse direction. :/
There are lots of things more immediately valuable than badly-learned languages. But languages learned well seem to measurably improve a person's cognitive performance. IT improves memory, creativity, staves off mental aging, &c.

Absolutely. The arrow is a dynamic, nearly independed system while it's in fight. The arrow is litteraly being animated over time. I consider the 'system' that describes the arrow to be in a 'same' state at N intervals. Like snapshots on film, these 'arrows' literally occupy two seperate locations in space. Are they two arrows?

I'm glad that someone sees demand for privacy. I wish Mozilla would brand itself the same way; with their non-profit, public good mission, few could compete with them for user trust. That's how they can compete with FirefoxOS, Firefox for Android, and other products, IMHO -- it would be hard for Google and Apple to convince the public that privacy is their priority after all these years.

Based on my limited knowledge, more and more consumers are looking for privacy options. If and when demand for privacy takes off, Mozilla and Yahoo would be in good shape if they were already established in user's minds as the 'trustworthy' vendors.
English is perhaps the most successful world interlanguage in the history of the world. My point is that, it would still be considered a failure by the standards that Esperanto set for itself. I take that more as an indication that Esperanto's standards are unrealistic more than that Esperanto is a "failure".
I think it's funny we think we can pick-and-choose. "If only Patton had been just as great but less of an asshole". What if that was an important part of making him the great leader he was? Traditionally negative traits can sometimes contribute to effective leadership.

His most successful and famous campaigns can be described as brash and impulsive!

ZeroMQ sockets can connect or bind, and this is independent of the socket type. If you want to load balance requests against a dynamic number of responders, just have the responders connect their REP sockets to a set of bound REQ sockets.

I don't actually like that proposal[1] very much as it stands -- but perhaps moving discussion/pull-requests there would be useful? (I've not yet added my own comments there, but now with two threads on the subject on hn, I'm seeing the need to consolidate, if we want to get a wide range of contributions, and try to gravitate to the "best" solution...).

> C was designed on UNIX, and was basically made for UNIX. That's a matter of historical record. But to say that on Windows everything is a little "off", doesn't quite do it justice. I understand that the book is aimed at the uninitiated, but to put it that mildly is an understatement of epic proportions.

Yeah, this was the fist sign I wouldn't read to the end, and I was right. The author just says this, and leaves it at that. As if we are to just take his word for it. This is essentially what this argument boils down to:

"He said X, I say X++." No explanation, nothing to backup what he says, nothing other than a to suggest it's a epic understatement.

Let's put this another way: my comment is has more to backup what I say than this article. The author might be right, but he doesn't back it up.

To me this read like a long list of nitpicks. Sounded like the author was just angry that Zed said bad things about the K&R book.
This statement, "Considering the majority of people say faulty intelligence is to blame for the Iraq war, it's difficult for me to encourage less intelligence surrounding foreign intelligence gathering." is incomplete/incorrect/missing the point/whatever you want to call a polite way of saying "wrong" for a number of reasons, I will state them, in no particular order below.

First, you are confusing data collection and data analysis. It doesn't matter how much and what type of "intelligence" (a misnomer if there ever was one) if you're simply talking about raw data collected from a variety of sources. The data must be parsed and made sense of. In the CIA/NSA/FBI of the 1990's and 2000's, there was a very obvious failure (again, for a number of reasons, some due to simple mistakes, some due to bureaucratic incompetence, some due to political reasons.) to correctly interpret this data. Oops, but hey, it's only a few billion dollars and few tens of thousands of lives.

Second, post-9/11, given the amount of resources spent on intelligence collecting in the Middle East, it's hard to believe that there was anything more that could have been done in terms of signal collections than going full on Big Brother and installing a data collecting device in every person's bunghole in the entire region.

Third, note I said "signal collections," because one of the things people say isn't that it was simply faulty intelligence gathering (or analysis as I discussed above) but also an over reliance on the exact type of data we were gathering, ie, things that float through the ether. We didn't have enough of the old school, human intelligence of the early cold war, that could have helped in making a better determination of whether or not Saddam actually had WMD's (or was building them, whatever). The Human Intelligence they did have, was from special interests that had their own reasons to get rid of Saddam, and there was very little (at least seemingly from the outside) checking on these human sources. So, too few human resources, as well as resources who had their own agendas. That's never going to work out well.

Finally, none of that mattered. The data we had, through the political will of the Administration of the time, was massaged to fit the story, not the other way around. They had a narrative ("Saddam has WMD's"), and then they cherry picked data to support that "conclusion." Only after the fact did the whole "faulty intelligence" story come out, because, you know, it's easier to blame that than saying "yeah, we had a hard on for the guy and we wanted to take him out regardless of what the real story was." But you said it yourself: "It's not like we can take everyone's word for it."

I had a few more points to make, but I'm tired, it's late, I've written enough.

But now Saddam and his WMD's are gone, we have ISIS taking over Iraq, so I guess it all worked out in the end. So the NSA should keep hoovering up all that data, what could go wrong?
