Got it, thanks!

How is that worse than trusting that the top 2 BTC mining pools aren't colliding?

I'll take a semi-centralized system with respected public figures as advisors over a theoretically decentralized system that is actually ran by a few anonymous miners.

Thanks Jim for participating here. Can you explain the links between MaydayPAC and CounterPAC, their degree of cooperation and what makes them different? Thanks!

PS: Congrats for the hard work you're doing.

Really sounds like the author just needs to move to Europe or Asia...

Until they sell out, we have a fixed number of tickets in each price category

That sounds straight up from the TV show "The Leftovers" in which there's a nihilist cult that paints things in white!

I think it has to do mostly with the image they want to have in the developer community.

Plus, watching a HD video shot in a Theater like ours is arguably more enjoyable and impactful than something shot in a studio. You can check this as an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLQyj-kBRdo

Couldn't agree more! We really hope to be able to get them involved in the conference. FYI, Chris Lattner does speak at LLVM community events so it's not unheard of.

We should have the first announced in the next few weeks!

I think you shouldn't have too much to worry about because all international flights over this area will probably get re-routed for a while in the next few hours/days.

Not so sure about this. I was at the conference and captured the exact wording from Urs, "We don't really use MapReduce anymore" (https://twitter.com/sylvinus/status/481864384981913601)

I don't know if you need a "trick"... Just several orders of magnitude more precision?

MRQ is heavily inspired by RQ to which we switched from Celery (http://www.slideshare.net/sylvinus/why-and-how-pricing-assis...)

However it is a complete rewrite because we felt we couldn't add gevent support and other features to provide extreme visibility without major changes. If you don't need those 2 things, you may want to check out RQ instead for now, it's still a very good piece of software.

We are writing more docs now and putting a small website up, currently they are in the README. We provide support by email, there are already a few third-party users using it in production.

I've worked 4+ years with Celery on 3 different projects and found it incredibly difficult to manage, both from the sysadmin and the coder point of view.

With that experience, we wrote a task queue using Redis & gevent that puts visibility & tooling first: http://github.com/pricingassistant/mrq

Would love to have some feedback on that!

This seems to me like an extreme "first world" problem?

Sorry, didn't know the policy. Removed the comment!

This is in response to the change from "master/slave" to "primary/replica" terminology here: https://github.com/django/django/pull/2692

I'm actually not sure whether the submitter was sarcastic... If he was, that would have been quite a good way to show the absurdity of the first PR :)

I'd be curious to know how he transfers his files out of the DOS machine then. I can't remember ever using an USB key with DOS. Floppy disks maybe?

Looks like pointless complaints to me. You're losing confidence in CC because their process for reporting security issues is okay, but not perfect?

They did the hard thing, which was emailing users about a "breach" that may or may not have been exploited. I mean we're only talking about names/emails here but whatever.

I donated to CC a couple times and may be in that file but frankly I couldn't care any less, as long as CC does an outstanding job improving their licenses (which they do!).

As discussed more than 1 year ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4346303), the (very) hard times they had signing people up, with constant posts on HN without much effect, should have been a strong indicator people didn't actually need this.

Really disappointing move. If you don't trust your developers, maybe you shouldn't have hired them in the first place.

Our team loves HipChat, and they will probably end up feeling the opposite because of this. Please provide a way for us not to activate that "feature".

Is this on their hosting or DNS offerings?

Given that Gandi's reputation is outstanding, your experience seems quite odd. Can you elaborate?

Worth a look too: http://artips.fr/en/

Extremely saddened by this. I hope "activists" with misguided anger will realize the web is worse off today than it was yesterday.

I've blogged about why I support Brendan as much as I disagree with some of his beliefs: https://medium.com/p/5f43d452bd89

I think it still makes sense for them from a business standpoint because of the all the free publicity this has already given them :(
