   It is interesting that uvloop-streams is almost identical to gevent in performance. Gevent is based on libev, the project libuv was forked from. What exactly is the -streams addition that makes uvloop-streams perform so much worse than plai

   Trump was the mainstream candidate, no surprise there. The idea that a far-right extreme conservative evangelical was going to beat Hillary was, as Trump would say, laughable. Trump may also not beat Hillary, but he does have mainstream app

   True, I don't know what I was thinking when I wrote that. I guess the recent case with the FBI and the iPhone shows what will happen if they want messages badly enough.

   What does the USA do about WhatsApp? Do they really tolerate end to end encryption they cant subpoena the company for...or does the NSA have a big fat pipe into the WhatsApp data-center?

   I'm really starting to think I chose the right path by just installing Flashblock and ignoring the remaining ads. The Ad blocking business is beginning to look awfully shady.

   > Whatsapp is "too big to fail" What a terrible analogy.

    > why not impose a simple set of rules to work with the criminal-justice system It's really simple. First you just need to figure out who's telling the truth.

    Well part of me hoped this was actually Docker for Mac, not just running Docker inside a Linux VM. Guess what? I can do that on Windows 10 too and it works like a charm.

    Oh...that's interesting. That would even be useful on Linux to enable greater resource separation between processes...say being able to lock all Docker processes down to 1-2 cores on a machine and with a hard memory limit they can&#x27

    So it uses xhyve...does this mean Docker runs up a full hypervisor per Docker process you run? That seems a bit excessive.

    Italy seems a good example. Merchant cities that have stood alone for centuries, tolerating whatever ruling clan or invaders happen to be laying claim. Italy as a nation is basically a manufactured concept around these mini city states.

    I wonder if Go's GC would exhibit pathological behavior in this case.

    I don't run it. I run FlashBlock, and they seem to demand you run Flash in order to view their website.

    The GIL is a condition variable and a mutex. Nothing fancy. In a single threaded program, it gets acquired once, if at all.

    I agree. Far more fits the "Alien" bill than a flipping (no pun intended) mammal.

    No offence, but this seems like it would be better as a Reddit sub. Not everything needs to be the HN of something.

    Give them to the Army Air Corps. The pilots need to work more closely with soldiers on the ground than other pilots or air control, and the army are the last people who want to see these planes go. Then the Air Force Generals can get stars
