From that url in September it was about half Linux "but sometimes slightly over half of Azure VMs are Linux." I'm not sure that is the win OP was looking for.

> and in the data center, which is where it counts. Do you have any stats on this? As far as I know Windows and Linux are very competitive on the server and depending on the analysis Windows comes ahead.

I doubt the scale of the data being intercepted is much concern for the hyperscale providers. AWS already has a customer-facing service that monitors for connections to its own "watchlist", I'd be surprised if all traffic isn

How many things built into products have obsolete hardware or unused functionality that would have to be listed? I understand being reactionary to a microphone but where is the line? How do you draw it? Do I need to list all the capabilitie

I don't know which specs exactly people are referencing, but if its marketing specs or the specs you would see on the box then I don't expect consumer products to have "microphone (disabled)" for unused hardware just as

This is really cool. Unfortunately the 4.x kernel requirement wouldn't work for the majority of my work since RHEL is still on 3 :|

I've been looking for a while for a way to capture all file opens and network ops to profile unknown production workloads similar to proc. explorer on Windows, which I believe is implemented using ETW. Unfortunately strace seems to be

How does anti-trust legislation work for these kind of sites? If Facebook was split up then what would stop a single identical entity from popping up in some other country that fills the niche for the entire world? I've seen it mention

That isn't entirely the purpose of defense attorneys. They are also responsible for ensuring clients get the "correct" punishment for the crime. If they weren't present there would be no check on heinous sentences for mi

Are reCAPTCHA images used to train or classify data like Mechanical Turk? I thought at one point the word ones were used that way and was a major incentive for their usage.

Being able to apply suction on my command seems like an added benefit. Sometimes I think I'm going to choke at the dentist waiting for him to start vacuuming. Could be comforting for people who aren't typically in the sort of situ

I didn't consider small static sites. I agree with that and have done some landing pages that way that stand in front of SPAs. I guess I was commenting on OP wanting to use Rails or Spring MVC for views instead of only using them for A

As someone who started developing not long ago, is there any reason to not make an SPA when it is the workflow you are used to? I just don't see a practical difference between SPA or not. The argument I usually see is that its harder..

Innovation in my context is more in appealing to the user. The mechanics. You don't have to make something new like the wheel to innovate. Look at Apple. They're called innovative all the time but have never "invented" a

I think there are too many competing factors for them to make a "sweet spot". The original grind appealed to people because it was hard and there wasn't anything you could do about it. It felt like an accomplishment. The bus

I think they just lost the ability to be innovative. They had some real creative minds at the helm that got replaced by "business" people. Kind of like Steve Jobs being replaced. Blizzard was based on this cool innovative stuff an

It shows people want the worst kind of discourse. You might not like it but if such a sizable community does its a shame it can't live on its own. Not everyone gets online to peruse HN or even learn anything at all and there isn't

Similarly Heinrich Hertz and radio waves: "It's of no use whatsoever[...] this is just an experiment that proves Maestro Maxwell was right—we just have these mysterious electromagnetic waves that we cannot see with the naked eye.

You're right I didn't consider them making it up on the backend somehow. I still believe that forcing a "pre-tip" is a clear indication of something sketchy going on. I can't think of any other valid reason for forc

I wonder if they use it to indicate the quality of the customer.

If we use this logic then there will never be an alternative. We need to create a vacuum and that might negatively affect the shoppers in the interim. Edit: It looks like Instacart is making some kind of amends and changing policy.

If you can't survive without grossly misleading your customers then you have no right to survive at all.

I think the simplest way to tell is if the app requires you to tip before or after the order has been placed. I've read in other HN threads that Uber Eats tip policy is what we as customers expect, but don't take my word for it.

What does pay have to do with a job being an "office" job? Are corporate lawyers and accountants not office jobs? If you work in an office, then by definition, you work an office job.

Happy to see this is getting some coverage. After the last Instacart article a few days ago I started pestering the DoorDash help line just to relieve some misplaced anger over all the money I've tipped on their app. Unfortunately, unl

I agree with that as well. It was the combination of me not being the type do do all of that plus being bored enough to go to the library. I know a lot of my peers in college just couldn't hack it because they were engrossed in gaming.

When my family went through hard times in High School our internet was cut. Basically every interest I had was pulled out from under me (gaming). I ended up going to the local library during this time after months of crushing boredom and re

I don't know California specifically, but the homeless in Chicago congregate in the business areas and tourist places, not the residential areas as much. I would assume California is similar since most people who live there are less li

I just ran into an issue with the way they blog their documentation. It isn't hierarchical from what I can tell and they don't go back and update blogs to point you at the latest document. I wasted a lot of time going step-by-step

I wonder of retailers getting slightly different model numbers has anything to do with preventing this from ever being possible. I know they do it on black Friday to avoid price matching but I seem to run across wierd almost-exactly-the-sam
