They can use "the pool", i.e. the collection of NTP servers.

They could (register a "vendor zone") and use "[0-3].systemd.pool.ntp.org". They can, technically, even use "[0-3].pool.ntp.org", but the NTP Pool Project is saying they cannot use [the specific hostname] "pool.ntp.org".

That last part is what people are apparently not understanding.

Also, OpenBSD blatantly ignores it and uses "pool.ntp.org" anyways.

If you're writing idiomatic c#, using dynamic objects is rarely (never) the right thing to do. The reason dynamic exists is mostly for interop with other languages or environments.

What about local delegates? Func<int, int> localDelegate = x => x + 1;

You don't need to use reflection as often in c# as you would in javascript.
Right. If you're looking for the cheapest (by $/GB), then there are definitely cheaper options. This is about performance for lower traffic websites. To actually deliver on that requires more resources, which means it's never going to be the cheapest option out there.

They're pretending Chicago's 2015 budget shortfall is $300 million instead of $850 million because they're ignoring the $550 million they owe to police and fireman pensions; putting that off until October.

The expected-to-raise $12 million "cloud tax" will cover 4% instead of 1.4%. So that's good news...

How I Raised $120,000 with Crowdfunding
Probably not - heavily taxed cities controlled by democrats, like Boston, New York City, San Francisco, etc are the most successful in the US.
Its probably better for them to just put the tax in 45pt font on the order page. Its the people in these jurisdictions that are electing these folks.
Well, dividing your problem into microservices is a lot more likely to work than another approach to change being pitched today - patching running programs on the fly. If you're considering that, something is horribly wrong with the system architecture.

As for "microservices", part of the problem is that the UNIX/Linux world has historically sucked at interprocess communication. Everything looks like a pipe, and you have to build something that works like a subroutine call on top of it. (Yes, there's System V IPC, which nobody uses.) The mismatch there results in much overhead associated with framing and such. Also, because the IPC and scheduler aren't integrated, each interprocess call tends to put either the sender or receiver at the end of the line for CPU time. This can add huge latency to service calls.

I've written hard real time code for robotics on QNX, which has a good MsgSend/MsgReceive system for calling other programs. Message passing and
That works out quite well, especially when some programs run at higher priorities than others and have hard time constraints. QNX doesn't have a really good system for starting up a set of programs and getting them communicating, though; I had to write something for that.

One lesson from QNX is that marshalling and interprocess communication should be separated if performance matters. IPC done right is fast, and marshaling done with code generated for each message format is fast. Generalized interpretive schemes like CORBA and JSON-based systems have much higher overhead than a subroutine call.

Another lesson is that better tools for managing groups of programs are necessary. It's a hard problem. Look at the "initd" mess. That's just a special case of managing a group of microservices. Just getting everybody connected up securely at startup is hard.
Forcing the update of old code doesn't make me sad. Considering new versions of the language should be improvements over previous ones, it may be a good side effect. If your code breaks with the new compiler and language standard, just change your build options to explicitly use the previous one.

That article was on HN recently, and I recall it doesn't prove out any of the points it claims in the intro paragraphs. Nearly every city it alludes to being gutted is thriving. Detroit is basically fallen over, of course, but blaming the highway system for that is fairly disingenuous.

Mostly, the article just rabble rouses a bit by pointing out connected people used their power to stop highways they didn't like. I guess that's true, but that doesn't really have anything to do with the idea that America's cities are gutted.

Of course, as you can see by my sibling comment, very few people let a little truth get in the way of populist emotional resonance.
> You should run executables only from trusted sources - that's what we're told, right?

No, that's what computer savvy people know, normal users don't think twice about running an executable from any source, that's the whole point. Nothing you suggested will stop what people simply do continually, open anything from anyone without caring who the sender is. Sandboxes don't just protect things, they forbid necessary and useful things so you can't simply sandbox everything because users will simply refuse to use your crippled software and opt for the less secure but more functional version. Users don't care about security, that's the problem; it's a social problem, not a technical one.

Wow. That seems like an utterly one-sided and simplified explanation of how we got our highway system.

The article is telling me that the auto industry hoodwinked the government into building a multi-trillion dollar highways system (in today's dollars) just to support the auto industry?

I think the situation might be a tad more complex than that.
Different domains name the same thing differently.
From the article:

Wynne said the additional fees, applied in a city already known for high taxes, could be enough to push individuals and companies over the edge. He said that since the taxes will be levied based on Chicago billing addresses, there’s nothing to stop individuals from moving outside city limits or listing billing addresses in other towns. The same is true for businesses.

“Let’s say I sign up for streaming business data in the city but I have offices throughout the country,” Wynne said. “I will definitely make sure my billing goes through a different office.”
Yes, of course, it's a basic cell phone still. Many buy them, drop 20 bucks on it, pull it apart and make a nice GPS tracker insead of paying $800 for a "professional" work truck positional monitoring system.

Edit: spelling
Last time my coworker tried to use an older IDA's debug server on Android, it wouldn't work. The device was API >= 14 so it required PIE executables and the IDA debug server was not. Unfortunate. Luckily IDA 6.8 has a PIE and non-PIE versions. I also believe that the debug server source is now included in the SDK, so you could have supposedly rebuilt it in PIE mode yourself.

Really the entire ROC curve should just be generated and a fitness function applied to chose where along the ROC curve is the most profitable.

> You can only compare things meaningfully when you have comparable knowledge of both.

Lisp isn't the only language which allows you to nest things.

You can nest function calls, lists, objects, tuples, and whatever in any language.

(a b (c d))

a(b, c(d))

Impossible to imagine, eh?

> Why don't you answer my earlier posts, where I show how to make similar syntax in Lisp?

So, your solution to make Lisp usable is also to not write Lisp? And I'm supposed to take that as disagreement?

If you extend it with your own syntax, it becomes a different language.
We have not yet begun not to care!
This doesn't answer the question. Who actually pays the taxes to the city? How does the city come after either the consumer or the provider, especially if the provider is in California/Europe/Russia/etc? I read the article and I don't understand how this works.

That was my first thought. But on second thought, I wouldn't be surprised if big companies, like Netflix, don't have a problem with taxes. The billion dollar tech companies have the wherewithal to implement different tax regiments to each of their customers. It's the startups that this move will hurt and thus add entry barriers protecting the market share of the big boys.
This is primarily why I'm focusing on strengthening my JavaScript skills...There are tons of start-ups looking for back and front-end devs. Your comment also makes me want to get back into Java and C#...I've taken the time to learn Haskell but I know realsitically I'll never get a Haskell job (at least here in Quebec...).
>> Lisp has not succeeded on a relative scale. Let's not discount that.

> Is there a clear reason for this?

Yes. In the 1980s AI was teh new shiny and at that time, Lisp was almost synonymous with AI.

A bunch of people over-promised when it came to AI and expert systems, and failed to deliver. And people conflated the failure of the promise of AI with the failure of Lisp. Essentially, guilt by association -- people can be dumb that way.

Amusingly, once something in the realm of AI actually works -- we stop calling it AI. But one thing is for certain: the scruffies have been right more often than the neats.

Still, Common Lisp is pretty effin' awesome.
How is this "extortion"? You pay sales tax when you buy a DVD or go to a movie, why should Netflix be tax free? I mean you can have a philosophical opposition to consumption taxes, but that's different.

How Venture Capitalists Make Investment Choices [Interview]
I use programmer dvorak and absolutely love it. I would recommend it to everyone. Qwerty was just made to deliberately slow down typists. Dvorak is much more comfortable and the programmer dvk variant is really well laid out for coders. I can type long strings of numbers without looking and rarely have to backspace for a typo. Qwerty is just embarassing compared to dvorak. Some people with wrist stress find their typing longevity renewed thanks to dvk. Again, check out the programmer variant. Has some slight differences (numbers are shift-accessible, symbols like () and {} are the numeric row.

Interestingly, A and M are the same spot in qwerty and Dvorak. There are typing tutors online, but I recommend printing out the layout or keeping it on screen and learning that way. Your hands will thank you.
This was a fantastic presentation. It wasn't just a brain dump like too many other presentations. The speaker clearly took the time to craft his talk.
Blockchain! But seriously, I'd do a rewritable optical media, a flash drive, and a spinning drive. I'd do checksums on existing data any time you write to it to ensure nothing has been lost. I'd also do some sort of versioning at each write and actually keep a full copy of the data before the write. That last part could get unwieldy if your data grows over a lot time.

And I would double each storage media and keep one set off site.

This is all a little much for anything less than a "I NEVER can lose this data" requirement.
Neat: sounds like an event stream processor. I've done this in the past with temperature sensors using open source libraries like Esper (https://github.com/espertechinc/esper) and in exchange for a bit of additional complexity you can do really interesting things like convert almost natural language alert definitions into running code.
I guess you would want to take praises from someone who knows what you do. If your boss is not a qualified engineer you may want to understand his/her praise as "you are a great problem solver," which would be 100% correct.
I couldn't help but notice S(h, t). Never the less it was a very good article.
From the article: "But those companies could start collecting taxes sooner to avoid paying the taxes themselves."

This is also how I understand other, similar taxes (like Sales Taxes) work. The business whose service/good would have incurred the tax is also responsible for paying the tax. You're liable for it, regardless of it you collect it from the consumer or not.
