Right, but in this case, when there isn't a crime. When they're looking for evidence to charge you with or use as a reason to deport or something in that area. In that case, can that be construed as Obstruction of Justice?

Can you be charged with obstruction of justice if you haven't been charged or served a warrant? i.e. just being suspect doesn't put you in line of perjury charges in this case.

I'm not a lawyer, but that was my interpretation in case that's wrong.

We keep our ID blacklist in something like Redis. For how rarely we need to add clients to it, the switch to simple-state JWTs has made noticeable improvements to the speed of our API, especially during higher usage times where our Postgres DB bogs down a bit.

So I'd say the advantage really varies by where you're coming from.

Can you explain why you think that? I would imagine using two rather popular systems in a somewhat common combination would be a boon to maintainability and set up, if at least for the large pool of developers and online resources already available for it.

But then again, I could be super mistaken. I'm interested in seeing another side of it.

I don't have a question, but I did want to thank you so much for this service. For our usage, which involves lots of disparate services sitting in all sorts of places, it makes it quick and painless to shuffle around our graph of connections between them for development, debugging, and production testing.

It's a service that, for us, is worth its weight in gold for all the configuration and maintenance we don't have to do. It's definitely one of the first tools in our toolbox we reach for. Thank you very much for ngrok!

I absolutely adore this. This reminds me of the old AS400 greenscreens I used to work on. Clean, fast, and everything within finger's reach. Can't wait to get home and play with this a bit.

I would really like to see this as well. Linux in general is a system I love to use but there's a ton of tedium involved in getting it set up in just the right way that it doesn't make my head throb. This isn't necessarily a setback for me from daily usage, but whenever a new version comes out, it soaks up a lot of time getting it re-setup.

+1 This would be a great feature for people like us.

Disclaimer: I work for this company, however my comments and opinions are my own.

I used Launch by Legalshield[0]. It's like the LegalZoom option, but they do provide legal counsel. After you signup, the member lawyer of your region calls you to finalize the documents and ensure everything's sorted. I paid around $460 overall for the formation, agent, and all the documents neatly organized in a binder with a really nice rubber logo stamper. Every step has some information to the right to help explain the process, and if you get it wrong, your member lawyer should catch it pretty easily.

Again, I work for them, but it's both not my project in the company, I don't receive anything special for saying good things about it, and I really did like the flow. So I might be biased, but I do highly recommend it.

I'll second these sentiments. In college, I caught her build log of the original Game Grrl. Seeing her take commodity objects and clone systems and turning it into a lovely end product was my spark to get into the world of hardware.

Her, Andrew Huang, and Ben Heckendorn are wonderfully inspirational creators and hackers that I've on countless occasions referenced and consumed all sorts of projects and ideas from.

I have such immense respect for the kind of people that made GOAL. From the powerpoint, it states that it was made by one developer over a year-ish, and solely supported it through the development of Jak and Daxter.

It's the kind of confidence like that, in a very aggressive market, where delays are killer, but knowing that you can make a tool that would help make an even better product.

Apparently the team had difficulty picking it up and using it for a while, and lots of issues that would run the development machines into the ground. Through all that, they still produced a very refined and high quality product on a tight deadline.

Anecdotally, introducing Angular to a group of seasoned developers, more experienced in RPG and JCL than anything web-wise, over the course of a month was enough to lose sleep on. Heavy respect for that developer and the team as a whole.

I don't think that's true. Originally, Tuesday was chosen because farmers needed a day to get to the county seat, a day to vote, and a day to get back, without interfering with the three days of worship, or Wednesday, which was commonly a market day. [1]

It could be kept that way for that reason, but to say it was deliberately designed for that reason I feel is disingenuous.

I noticed it's phoning home to Google to do tracking. Is there a way to opt out of that?

For the company I work in the daytime for and the company I moonlight for, this has been the case in both situations. The looming nature of legacy code, especially with prohibitively work-expensive policies lead to much more than bad programmer effectiveness. It lead to lots of extra lead-time on deployments, heavily decreased morale, and when we lost our two rockstar-20/30-year developers, turnover exploded.

There's more to it more often than not than just policies and the amount of legacy code, but even when we had the most supportive of managers, morale was very low over it. I definitely think companies, as they age and go from startup to a firmly placed company, should really take stock of their code assets and policies and really make sure they're kept up-to-standard yearly, and really look at every policy and make sure it's absolutely needed. It's a lot easier than taking a 1 line project on a 9 year old piece of code and turning it from a half-day full-review to a 6 day haltingly slow process.

Can you explain your reasonings as to why you believe this? Also, can you explain how this perceived risk didn't apply to other products such as MongoDB?

I read in the article that truffles are outside of the domain of human ability to control its growth.

  > Truffles are the world’s most expensive food because they resist all our efforts to control them. They cannot be mass produced or meaningfully eaten out of season.

Have there been any efforts to create some controlled version of truffles to meet demand or make it more available? To me, the idea of a GMO truffle that's available year round seems pleasing.

Inside the front cover of my journals, I have written "You wouldn't worry so much about what others think of you if you realized how seldom they do."

I snatched that from GoodQuotes. I'm no poet, but I feel like it carries a lot of truth. If somebody wanted to rob my house, if all of my most private thoughts and truths were stacked on the coffee table in the front room, they would still make off with my TV, and those books would still be sitting there when I came back to the aftermath.

Other's have said this before, so I'm not the first one to this party, but there is an annoying lack of front-facing information presented when you visit the home page. If somebody passed me a link directly to BugVM's website[1], or even to to their GitHub repo[2], I wouldn't have a clue what it was about.

I'd love one. Keybase has always been a fascinating service to me. m {at} sftw.ninja

APL was one of those languages they shown us in college to be "A terrible thing, so be grateful for new languages like C."

Looking at APL here, it actually looks really interesting.

I'd really like to know what the answer would be, so I thought I'd do the math. So, anybody please correct me, but my math comes up to something like 3.4x10^21 times the age of the universe given the rate above.

I believe they have one: http://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/clojure/

Here's a discussion from a few hours earlier on the subject: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6305807

I find it kind of disturbing how much effect it had on overall traffic. It makes me think, "What if Google did just drop off the face of the Earth?" How much of an effect would it have globally?

...Or am I just reading too far into it?

I use Mint because I feel I have the access to the wide repositories that Ubuntu provides, including easy access to third-party software like Google Chrome, but I avoid a lot of problems I have with Ubuntu. Ubuntu tends to barf on my grub installation, Mint doesn't. Unity randomly crashes and stalls in both normal desktop usage and gaming (such as Team Fortress 2), while Mint doesn't include Unity. For some reason, Ubuntu will sometimes stall on boot when loading the Nvidia proprietary drivers for my Titan. Mint, for whatever reason, doesn't have this problem.

And, I'll be honest, as a long-time Debian and Ubuntu user, Unity saddens me. I really love Debian and Ubuntu, but I feel like Unity and some new decisions they're making is the elephant in the room for me. Progress is great, but it's hurting my desktop experience.

There's a sample output on their page [1] which is very clean.

Yes, aren't the forums run by a user named "Ubuntugeek" or something of the sort?

I don't personally believe this discrimination exists on the scale that it is touted. I think it starts much earlier. As far back as college, women were more interested in Nursing, Acting, Business, English, Philosophy, etc., but rarely would I sit at the advisement panel and hear "Well, I really do like computers!" from a young woman.

That's not every woman, but a very big chunk that I witnessed.

Our school began participating with various groups to secure funds to help encourage women to come into the CS, MIS, or SE programs. I can count on my hands how many additional women joined. Nowhere near enough to call the effort a success. More women chose the classical major choices instead of the various computer fields, even if they didn't show a lowered cost of attendance. Why?

Through it all, I'd have to blame the culture. You don't fix the problem by throwing money at it. You fix it by showing that Penny is just as comfortable around computers as Sheldon is to Theoretical Physics. A field doesn't have to be stylish, and a playing with a computer doesn't have to make you a nerd.

I assure you there's no concerted force working to eschew women from the sciences. If the culture fits and is likened by its followers, I'm sure the numbers will grow to equal measure of the men. If you start from the root, you can fix many of the problems we see today.

It's smothering the candle with a firehose. It's a very destructive solution for which avenues have been paved before-hand to solve such problems. Did it work? Yes. To fix one small problem (malfunctioning WiFi) he rendered himself incapable of doing other things (use Microsoft compatible software, and, no, I'm not including WINE).

In the end, if his purpose was to install Ubuntu, then good for him. However, I wouldn't give it as general advice out of voiding their warranty alone.

You bought a product and it did not work as advertised. The recommended path would have been to have it serviced or return it to the distributor. You could also attempt to install the correct working drivers, as this most likely would not void your warranty. However, changing the entire OS is a very big not-recommended move on a recently purchased laptop that's having such a simple problem.
