I'm not as familiar with Java but It's more about concurrency than threads. I have more familiarity with Python, so using that as an example... There are Tornado and asyncio libraries for Python that give you asynchronous networki

The benefit of Golang isn't that it's compiled. It's that it has a good IO and concurrency model and the language is strict enough to force certain good practices on developers. IMO it would be almost as good even if the code

Status symbols are always an unspoken tax on the people who want them. Weddings could be casual ordeals without frills and rigid formalities but they function as a status symbol of sorts.

Aside from the fact that it's a joke... Isn't that what social media is for in the first place?

It's possible for us to focus both on improving conditions at the very bottom and also trying to understand how a very small percentage at the very top is siphoning so much out of our shared system. I would argue that both issues are w

I think the editor may have been trolling these people, yes, and the people offended should escalate the issue. But so far that's been Wikipedia's response so I don't see any wrong-doing from their behalf. Just from one edito

The fact that this "article" was published on a site that appears to have no other purpose other than advertising some RSS tool and who has a Twitter account that seems to be almost entirely dedicated to pushing this one story is

They seem more like Putin-aligned propaganda relays than "investigative journalism".

It's weird to see articles like this without a publish date or author attributed to them.

That's what I took from it too. But I've noticed an increasingly growing segment of HN commenters wearing fashionable hats made of foil.

"ditch Wikipedia" seems a bit melodramatic. Nobody should rely on Wikipedia as the sole source of any information, but it can be a useful starting point and usually has enough references to back it up. People need to be more caref

I block content [1] on Chrome but maybe I'm in a smaller group. [1] Not ads. Just scripts and other potentially dangerous stuff but since most ads use scripts I generally block ads.

As I understand it, to quote the article: > 534 million records of phone calls and text messages But we don't know how that breaks down to "phones" as you say. I don't even like to use my phone but I bet if you count

Wasn't the reporting about it being NSA + Israel all from Kaspersky or did any non-biased researchers confirm?

These people seem to think that the NSA is only collecting data to stop mass shootings and normal crimes. The concept of using this data to stamp out more systematic terrorism, espionage and other nation state attacks doesn't occur to

It really makes you wonder how widespread this bad practice is, right? Hashing doesn't help much when you're logging everything first.

What about the opposite? Are there any good server libraries to cast content to as opposed to casting content from?

Plus competition is good. The last thing we want is for one US company to basically have a monopoly on commercial space. Otherwise we'd probably all still be using Internet Explorer.

Python is generally less to type. Go isn't hard, per se, but it is statically typed and tends to be a bit more verbose. For me: Python if there's a specific library I want to use, I'm just hacking out a proof of concept, or I

I've never seen Falcon, thanks. Flask is still one of the most approachable frameworks I've used. It's great for getting something hacked out really quickly, but for asynchronous requests Tornado is where it's at. That b

The "now this" is from 2013. My guess as to why it's on the front page right now is because of Syria. It's called whataboutism.
