Is this supposed to be great performance? I think Netty does ~30K/s (1800000 req/min) out of the box. It thought Go has more out of the box performance, maybe I am missing something.

"A gun ban is a reasonable and effective way of reducing the number of school shootings"

I just wanted to debunk this myth. As you pointed out there is more to it.

I was thinking a lot and I think any sort of gun ownership should be tied to employment and mental status. This is the easiest to filter out people like most of the mass shooters and criminal elements. I am not sure what is required in Finland to own a gun (any kind) but I am sure that it is not like here (at least in some states). There is an entire industry built on buying guns in states that anybody can get one and smuggling it to states with more strict laws. This just helps the criminals to get armed while exposing civilians to violence.

In Switzerland some of the ex-army people can keep they assault rifles and this drives down the chance of violent crime because the criminals know that there can be a trained soldier in the next house who won't hesitate to use the weapon. I try to dig up the study about this.

Please don't use downvoting for disagreement it is not supposed to be used for that. If you disagree reply and show the points where you disagree with me.

Any proof? There are several countries in Europe with relaxed gun laws and we don't have too many shootings. While in Germany ("Gun legislation in Germany is considered among the strictest gun control in the world") we have seen some school shootings...

Could you back your statement with any data?

THe only thing I got proves otherwise:

Wow, this is pretty cool.

The lack of interest. If you haven't used a language that has a REPL you don't know how powerful it is. Most of the Java devs I know haven't used REPL with any other language.

At least pre-Pao times you could create a sub to your liking. I don't agree with many of the subs and their content there but I think that my liking should not be forced on others, and we should definitely not sacrifice diversity and community values for profit.

Removing the content you don't like comes in different shapes. Reducing diversity is bad in the context of people and culture, why is it different online? I know why, we need profit. Profit over people, profit over diversity. Anyways, as some of the guys pointed out, Reddit had some good years.

FB is actively changing how you see the world through it by removing the content you do not like to see. This is how it yields to more divided society.

I think profit must be driven out from communication channels if we would like to have a non-dividing, truly open community. There are proofs that profit oriented social sites do not serve the community and yields to a highly divided society[1]. Corporate interest is against community values, since there is only one dimension to take care of, increasing the profit. The Reddit situation shows this, there is much damage done already, and we are going to see a lot more.

I said "sort of"...

Racism is hijacked nowadays in the USA, it almost exclusively means white racism against blacks. The original meaning (discriminating against any "race" by any other "race") is greatly lost. If you want proof just go to twitter and look up some of the recent threads about Rachel Dolezal case.

I do not use goto in my code. What do I do wrong? :) Ok, I have to admit that I used it on C64 in the 80s.

Anyways, exceptions are sort of gotos or at least they can behave that way.

Tyranny does not work. Communities built from ground up cannot be ruled by a new emperor, it has its own immune system to eject the foreign body almost like the human body. This is happening now.

You mean we already lost.

Thanks for sharing this. Mnesia is a little bit quirky at the first glance but it is a pretty cool system. LevelDB also battle tested lots of systems build on it. I am curious how good is combining the two.

Sorry but freedom existed before law existed. This argument that everything has to be defined by the law is silly.

We should kick out a movement, quality over politics. I really don't like where we are heading to with all of these political crap brought in the academia and tech.

I can automate it for you... :)

First I thought I mixed up my tabs and I am on 4chan instead of being on HN.

Other verification approach is to use voice like WeChat does.

Promotion is not part of recruitment.

There is a nice study in the subject:

I am not sure how it is related to 2015. I actually prefer a ps file that I can render to a PDF easily instead a Javascript heavy messy website where everything is distracting you from the content. On the top of that Knuth invented Tex to be able to write scientific documentations with ease[1].

I think it is important to balance between how much new things you are learning and how much you are using previously learned things. The challenge is to squeeze in the most potentially useful new things to the limited set that you are going to learn. For example: is GO or Rust going to be the language that I can use in my projects at work in the future? Should I learn Clojure or Scala? Should I learn machine learning or statistics? etc.

I balance these based on the things I would like to do in the future. I become and learn what I would like be and try to find a job where I can use those new skills.

Nope.

I am not leaching on anything. You can twist words as much as you want but freedom is not defined by you or RMS or for that matter anybody else. It is pretty clearly defined in the dictionary and AGPL contradicts the foundation of freedom. If you dont want people use your software freely dont call it free software. Call it "limited use to a subset of non-profit oriented users who contribute everything back in return of using my software". That would greatly simplify the life for everybody and we could save the planet instead of haveing this thread about what is the definition of freedom and who does it apply to.

He did not mention hiring anywhere in his comment. Can you actually reply to him instead of giving words into his mouth?

Just pointing out some of the obvious:

- Yeah right, please explain this to my mom. She is a user of my software. Thank you in advance.

- Even if it was about my users you cannot re-define freedom for them aka same thing applies as I wrote above

- My users are also corporations and they banned AGPL

Checkmate. :)

Not really. I just know that Amazon's lawyer team has more expertise in law than I do. They also run a relatively large business while I am working for a small company. If their legal team decided that protecting their IP is best done by not opening up the company to a lawsuit (have you seen what happened to VMware btw?) than I think it is a pretty safe policy to follow for us the smaller corporation with smaller legal team.

I measure freedom in the license context by how much I have to do using a certain licensed software.

MIT, BSDL, Apache, EPL -> nothing

AGPL -> I need to open up every single thing that touches the service that uses AGPL

Which one is more free? In my interpretation the former. Please convince me that AGPL is more free than the other licenses. On the top of all that jazz, I really dislike the GPL/Gnu agenda of defining freedom to me. Let me show you what is the definition of freedom:

"the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint."

Opening open source code that I have no intention to open up sounds pretty restraining to me and also it qualifies as hindrance...

We reached an agreement:

- you proved to me that AGPL is not usable in any professional system that runs in the cloud

- also proved that it does things forcefully so I am right not using it

Thank you!

It kind of funny how people turn their heads away about this situation. Anyways, I just finished reading the Fortune article from 2012 and it has more color to the story.

I am wondering how long it takes to destroy reddit entirely.

As I said earlier I do not use AGPL code. Don't you need to opensource a service that works with the AGPL service?
