AKG studio range (consumer range is just ok) and audiotechnica both have very high quality options at several price points.

Best way to tell AKG studio range is (generally) the cable is detatchable. If the cable is not removable, it's probably the consumer range.
Yes, good points about caching, Informix does everything by itself, indeed, on raw devices or direct mapped files, which is the only way to maintain not evenrual, but strong data consistency Thanks for clarifying.
Are you part of the Azure cache service? I was an intern the the Edge Caching and Storage team and joining back fulltime next month. If things are the same way they were it would be worth it exploring using Redis for our cache and I'd like to talk details.
Meh. That one's only 139 pages... that's short and straightforward compared to some of the military specs I've had the pleasure of dealing with.
Rust has heap memory as well..?
As well as network IO. This is why just by the load you can't tell what is going on and this is exactly the reason why I don't like it too much in production. A box should do a have a smooth 15minutes normalized load over time. (If your workload changes you can do autoscaling, I think we used the normalized load as the metric for scaling up and down).

"The vindictiveness of the state is perhaps best illustrated in its treatment of Woodfox’s co-defendant, Herman Wallace. When Wallace’s conviction was also overturned on discrimination grounds in 2013, the judge in his case ordered his release, in view of the fact that Wallace was dying of liver cancer and had only days to live. Wallace was released on a Monday, and died on a Friday. He’d had three and a half days of freedom. Two days before he died, the prosecution reindicted him."

The brilliant thing here is that the two large metal parts are not mirror images of each other- they are actually the same part!

Not surprising - headphones are very symmetrical.

I think they overestimated the cost a bit - you can get fake look-alikes for around $12, and I bet they sound exactly the same, because they're being made by the same factories. The "deep bass" sound was around in various generic Chinese headphones long before Beats popularised them, because of the common perception that more bass means "better" (stronger) sound:

http://www.dealsmachine.com/best_167908.html

http://www.gearbest.com/headsets/pp_56709.html

The whole fluff about custom-designed sound and so forth is all marketing. Beats sounds like cheap headphones because... they are.

Owch, before this it wouldn't have occurred to me that a "Code of Conduct" would be crafted for the purpose of giving identity politics some leverage into open source projects, for twitter mobs to better harass developers. I would have taken the idea at face value - a codification of "don't be a dick".

They seem to have a twitter smear campaign running in parallel to bring in random people to pile on. Unless the dev has said something else, I can't see any hate from him (though I disagree with his view).
Superlux also sound great and are under $50.
I think there's a StackExchange for that isn't there?

I feel like this comment is gonna get crushed, but this is the attitude people need to have. This sort of thing should not be tolerated at all by those paying for it to happen, and the only way it's going to change is if people get mad enough to do something.
The article and tear down make no attempt to demonstrate that Beats design choices lead to worse sound.

And neither identify other options, whether cheaper or better.

I thought so too, until I decided to use RDS for storing zabbix.

It looks great on paper, but unless you're doing development I would discourage its use. That said your original point about the replication is true, but there are shortcomings that come together with it.

Some things that you will learn if you use RDS:

- if you decide to increase volume size, change type to SSD or use provisioned IOPS, you might have database down for an hour or more. Regardless whether you use single instance or HA.

- want to upgrade 9.3.x to 9.4.x? Tough luck you have stop dump the data and provision a new instance. You can't use postgres' inplace upgrade method

- you have limited control regarding tuning, many settings require rebooting the whole thing, when normally you would just restart the process (with HA there's still several seconds of interruption)

- you can only use extensions that they provide, there's almost no extension to monitor performance

- you can't login to use shell to monitor the process (obviously, but it's a still shortcoming)

- can't replicate data across regions or outside of RDS (it could resolve some of the issues above)

- it can fail, we had two times a failure caused by AWS, it happened during backup period. Normally AWS does backup on the secondary database, but we learned that in those instances it got confused and was attempting to do it on primary, rebooted it and for about 15 min the database was unavailable.
Perhaps there some kind of incentive such as bonus, promotion, political points for a high conviction rate? So they go for the low hanging fruit.

Verilog is C to VHDL's Pascal, maybe. Better but really not that much different. Check out the RISC-V folks' work in Chisel (a Scala-based DSL) for some great examples of what HDL code should be like.

It's not perfect either, but reading it is vastly more pleasant than plodding through a design in one of the Vs.

So do tell us, what $200 headphones are so much better than beats?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZWXPrfjkWg
Just about every brand is better than Beats in terms of price for performance. On the more budget end for half the $200 Beats Solo price or a lot less, here are a few options:

Grado is a great choice that's more about sound quality. SR60 and SR80 range is a great bet at around $79 and $99 respectively. And you can swap out the pads for either on or around ear fit (flat, L and G cushions are interchangeable).

If you want something like the look of Beats Solo, grab a pair of Jabra Revos. The wired ones can be had for as little as $42 online. Foldable, removable wire, plugs on both sides to swap or share music, much better build quality (check the vidoes), mic/remote, white or black, and better sound. They make a bluetooth version as well.

If you like color and good sound and a retro look, the Sennheiser Momentum On Ear (original/1.0) are a nice option starting at around $70.

If you just want something inexpensive that looks a bit like beats and has a similar color selection, check out the UrbanEars Plattan. They start at $40 on Amazon and have a full set of colors. I'm not sure what the sound quality is, though.

And don't forget about the classic Sony MDR7506 ($85) and Audio Technica ATH series (starting at $60). There's a reason so many industry folks swear by them for studio and field work. Basic, black, stand up to abuse, sound good.

Realistically, I suggest trying out various models in person. You're looking for a comfortable fit for however long you'd prefer to wear. And the right sound for you (a neutral sound vs heavier bass for instance). And the right style. And deciding if you prefer on-ear or over ear (some folks prefer the feel of one vs the other) as well as open or closed cups (open lets in outside noise as well as air). Or you could go the in ear route from basic earbuds all the way up to $1000+ custom-fit professional in-ear monitors.
I wonder exactly how many grams and millimeters smartphones have to be, to get to the point where they are so thin and light they go beyond feeling premium and fall into the valley of "cheap"?
Well imagine having the mind of a typical prosecutor. I bet the thinking is something like "f* it, I'm not going to live forever, who can I prosecute next".

I'm more and more convinced that this is a cultural problem in the US. The idea of "serving out justice" seems to override any compassion for people.

People always talk about throwing bankers in jail for the crisis, but why would you wish all this suffering on anyone? Denying freedom for someone for years. Especially considering the multitude of studies showing that extended incarceration _does not work as a deterrent_.

We should be ashamed, a country with this sort of penal system cannot declare itself to be a bastion of civil rights.

Of course, but concurrent access to shared data in Rust (let alone when that data has an arbitrary lifetime) carries more overhead (and is much trickier) than in GCed environments. As a general rule, GCs decrease overhead for concurrent memory access.
Right. Perhaps we should just abolish prisons? What about the sadistic people that chose crime to which to dedicate their lives? How many violent rapists, robbers, thieves and murderers are in those cages? We need cages as long as there are evil people. There is not a country in world that doesn't have cages. Interestingly, American prisons aren't as bad as they are in places like France or the UK or China or South Korea or anywhere in the Middle East. It's fashionable to complain about prisons. That fashion lasts as long as it takes until you or someone you love to have been a victim of a crime. When your wife is raped or your child abused or the family owned shop on the corner is robbed: what should happen to the perpetrator? Should we give them big hugs and a chocolate cookie? No. Those people belong in cages. The rights of the non criminal should always trump the rights of the convicted. It's tough to be in prison, sure however how many truly innocent people are in those cages? Not many. Some, but the vast majority did the crime. When someone steals from me, they still the ability for me to provide for my family. If they steal $100 from me, that's stealing about 1 hour of my time. That's one hour that I now can't spend with my family. That's a hundred bucks that directly goes from my children to some low-life. I have little sympathy for people that would steal things from my kids. I have little sympathy for people that hurt others. If they get their Facebook taken down; tough shit. Don't commit crimes and you can use Facebook all you f'ing want.
"The review of more than 100 international medical studies of post-operative transsexuals by the University of Birmingham's aggressive research intelligence facility (Arif) found no robust scientific evidence that gender reassignment surgery is clinically effective."

But that's not the point, is it?

It doesn't really matter whether he's right about gender dysphoria or not. Coraline is requesting his removal as a contributor because he has publicly stated his opinion on this matter, and that opinion is unacceptable to her.

As far as I know, what he did didn't even violate Coraline's own (excellent) contributor charter:

http://contributor-covenant.org/version/1/1/0/

"This code of conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces when an individual is representing the project or its community."
I don't understand it either. But perhaps (and this is probably a stretch) it is to serve as a deterrent to the other inmates.

Given Angola's notorious reputation as, well, Angola, and the fact that these two allegedly murdered a prison guard--it isn't inconceivable that a vindictive move like this one was played by the state. The logic being, you kill one of our guards and we'll lock you up and throw away the key.
Well, there's your problem: you're assuming prosecutors are people. ;)

That's a simplistic (if fun) jab, of course, but it's probably not an exaggeration to say that the system we have gives incentives for prosecutors to act rather inhumanely -- and tends to attract personalities who are driven by their own ambition or a faith in their own judgments when it comes to justice. There's a sense in which the prosecutor role we've created really isn't "people" in the same way businesses aren't "people."
Well, basically yes. It's a non-issue in my opinion under reasonable assumptions.
Apparently there was more chargeback risk than you are suggesting. If you are so customer friendly with your refund policy, you should do a bit more work upfront before refunds are necessary. That's all.
Sadly I can't give an answer; it was just in my list of interesting links that I'd saved. Google also seems far less useful now than it was for searching obscure things... or perhaps the source of that is a part of the Web that no longer exists.

I used to work in that area back in the 1980s, and worked on one of the early high-security operating systems (KSOS for the PDP-11, written in Modula I. It was really slow; trying to cram it in 64K 16 words of code just didn't work.)

NSA has an attack side and a defense side. The defense side builds the US military's security systems. The attack side has more prestige within NSA. The defense side does things like evaluate filing cabinet locks.

The NSA Orange Book criteria for OS evaluation (which was actually Grace Nibaldi's master's thesis) set out tough criteria. NSA set up an evaluation operation at NSA's Friendship Annex (named for Friendship Airport, which is now Baltimore Washington International).

There was heavy industry opposition to NSA's secure OS efforts. The evaluation procedure was borrowed from the safe and lock evaluation operation - a vendor could submit a product for evaluation, and if it failed, they'd get a report on the flaws found. They could then resubmit the product one more time. If it failed on the second try, the product was rejected, just like they did with padlocks. Acceptance and rejection were public. So an OS could be officially be stamped insecure.

A few OSs passed those tests. Most of them are forgotten. Wang, the word processor company, had a secure OS. Multics is at least remembered. There was a secure version of IBM VM. But most commercial OSs could not pass.

The industry fought those tough standards, resulting in the "Common Criteria" for security evaluation. The Common Criteria were much weaker. Instead of NSA doing the evaluations, they were done by private testing labs paid by the OS vendor. Vendors could try over and over again to pass. Failures were not publicized. Microsoft was able to meet those new lower hurdles, as were other vendors.

This was all pre mass market Internet (the academic and DoD communities had Internet connections from about 1983, but the Internet world wasn't that big.) and the security criteria were very single-system oriented. Also, the internal use of cryptography within computer systems was very rare, and not trusted within DoD. NSA took the position that crypto could only be done by special-purpose secured boxes. (For high security, they're right.)

But a load of 100+ is considerably more than a normalised load of 1, unless we're talking about 100+ core machines.
Actually, the contributor charter that Coraline herself created only applies to statements made when representing the project:

"This code of conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces when an individual is representing the project or its community."

The problem I have with this is that the contributor is being crucified for stating his opinion when doing neither of those things.

Agreed. Even the most liberal thinkers routinely call for people they don't approve of to be thrown in jail. I think it's important to challenge this type of thinking. Reserve jail for those times when there is no other way to protect innocents from violent offenders.

India Agile Week 2015
I used to work at a hotel that ran a Nomadix gateway appliance to get around guests having static IPs configured from their office environments. Without it we were sure to get a call about them being unable to connect.

One year the hotel purchased another across the street and connected it via fiber. As our network infrastructure was somewhat old we used a converter on each end to take a standard patch cable from each switch and transmit the data stream over the fiber. Everything worked as expected except for one key part: computers attempting to access the guest network would never receive a DHCP-assigned IP address. Static IP addresses worked just fine.

After quite a bit of packet sniffing and digging into specs I found the problem: the packet size of the initial DHCP responses from the Nomadix gateway was smaller than the minimum packet size of the converters. The fix was to switch to a different model converter that operated at layer 2 instead of layer 3 and thus didn't have the packet size minimum.

> Sell to a later investor in a private financing round.

But what incentives would those later investors have?

Public company stock is valuable because it provides the owner a dividend stream, control of the company as well as ownership of the company's assets; I wonder how an AirBnB, for example, that never went public would provide value to shareholders.
The bankers are the ones I think it would work for. They understand risk analysis and it's all slow, reasoned, crime. Not like crimes of passion.
I have a close friend who is a county prosecutor who after over a decade on the job has changed immensely as a person. I don't blame him, as his intentions for taking the job were incredibly pure (real talk, he could have easily taken a private sector job for 3x the pay) but some of the shit, and I do mean shit, he has to put up with seems absolutely unbearable.

He had to work child abuse cases for a little over 3 years, and to occasionally see some of the scummiest people on earth walk free for some of the most ridiculous things (technicalities, mishandled evidence, a rogue juror causing a mistrial putting the defendant back in contact with the kids, etc) will break the strongest of humans.

Fortunately he got moved to misdemeanors per his request a few years back, seems to be doing a lot better. Not trying to say all prosecutors are great people, but it's a ridiculously tough job.

Just to be clear...the "Dave Baggett" who authored the Quora post seems to be the same "Dave Baggett" who is listed as the author of the Gamasutra post. Usually the phrase "lifted from" implies an act of plagiarism, but I think in this case, the two authors are one and the same.

As to why I didn't link to the Quora answer? Because not everyone on HN has a Quora account. And in the past, Quora has sometimes erected a login-wall for non-users trying to view a post. Gamasutra does not.
> We provide support over as many channels as possible

Maybe that's the problem. Might be better to provide stellar support on one or two channels.
> So for me, Common Lisp has actually shrunk without losing any functionality. This is not possible in languages without macros. Such languages are indeed doomed to either grow forever, or change in non-backwards-compatible ways (e.g. Python3). But with macros you can shrink a language as well as grow it.

Not true. If a language has adequate general constructs then you can replace language features with ordinary code written in the language. E.g. in Scala no-one uses "return" any more, because you can get the same functionality (in a better / more consistent way) using library types - just ordinary classes with ordinary methods, no macros needed.
If only prosecutors would be jailed for double the term of anyone we could prove they were unreasonable persecuting.

But unfortunately, they have literally zero consequences.
