Since you asked:

1) You didn't disclose that you received the book as a gift from the author/publisher and in advance.

2) That you were (I presume) asked to review the book on Amazon by the author/publisher.

3) That you didn't even read the book (only "several chapters") before giving it a 5 star "review".

4) You used a URL shortener on HN.

5) You used a URL shortener to obscure the Amazon affiliate tag in your link.

Please, please, good people. I am in haste. Who lives in that castle?

No one lives there.

Then who is your lord?

We don't have a lord.

What?!

I told you. We're an anarcho-syndicalist commune. We take it in turns to act as sort-of-executive officer for the week ... But all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special biweekly meeting...by a simple majority, in the case of purely internal affairs...but by a two thirds majority, in the case of more major...

Be quiet! I order you to be quiet!

Order, eh? Who does he think he is?

I am your king!

Well I didn't vote for you.

You don't vote for kings!

How'd you become king, then?

The Lady of the Lake,... her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water signifying by Divine Providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. THAT is why I am your king!

Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

Be quiet!

You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!

Shut up!

I mean, if I went 'round saying I was an emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!

Shut up! Will you shut up?!

Ah, now we see the violence inherent in the system!

Shut up!

Oh! Come and see the violence inherent in the system! HELP, HELP, I'M BEING REPRESSED!

BLOODY PEASANT!!
"Solutions such as Kubernetes tout the benefits of zero-downtime deployments but ignore that their inherent complexity causes availability issues."

This is completely accurate. I've seen several teams do kubernetes, only to both spend 50% of their dev time on ops, AND cause outages due to kubernetes complexity. They do this all while boasting about zero downtime deployments. It's comical really.
Let me guess Kevin wants a royalty and Mark is pressuring you to make a snap decision so you go with Herkovic because he exercises.
I started working on yatta for Windows 10 because I was missing yabai and bspwm after I started working from a Windows 10 desktop last year.

I made a post about it on the Rust subreddit yesterday looking for more contributors: https://old.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/lh4uyq/yatta_bsp_tili...

It's still early days, but it has automatic tiling, gap control, focus switching, directional moving and tree orientation toggling and you can use AHK or any other hotkey daemon to manage your keybindings.

You still have to build it from source at the moment, but I'm hoping to have it installable via the Scoop package manager in a month or two.

Thank you. This is seriously amazing.
Looks like this time it did stick to the wall. Thankfully not everybody is playing that game.
See my other response, but I don't think you're giving the question enough credit. The other responses don't mention the fact that the line would likely be different if we swapped the variables. The question tests both whether you know what a line of best fit represents, and also whether you know that the correlation in one direction is not necessarily equal to the correlation in the other direction. This is something that could be covered in an algebra class with a unit on linear regression. I remember seeing a demonstration and explanation of this in mine.
Interesting, I didn't know they did that. I've been running my own VPN as well for a couple of years without problem. Is it possible you were running Tor on your server or something else got you blocked (some AWS IPs seem to get blocked for no apparent reason)?
An aside but I became curious when riot was mentioned two days in a row, first thing in the east-coast morning, submitted by the same author.

While self-promotion is a skill, the submitter's comment and submission history is painfully focused exclusively on their own work.

I can certainly appreciate being proud of the things you build—that's great—but it comes across as disingenuous when it is quite literally the only thing you contribute to the discussion.
'Humankind' is also a prejudice term, and it's easily modifiable to 'animal', 'collection of biological material', 'product of genetic material', or 'matter'.

It's unfortunate that you only chose the words you posted. You should have included all of the words, both known and unknown. It's unfortunate that prejudiced collections of subatomic particles such as yourself still do not believe in equality.
In response to the down votes: I don't understand the objective here. Are we interested in punishing the rich or fixing the education system?
I'm really not sure about the "problems" with React being described.

Minified at 124k. Sure, but with gzip that's absolutely negligible. Unless your app utterly tiny, 124K is nothing (the version of React with addons is 38K gzipped/minified).

I'm not sure what they're going on about with React's dirty checking - all of that stuff is override-able, and things like batching are just a sane way of doing DOM updates.

The verbosity, I'm not seeing it - sure there's JSX, but you mitigate this by abstracting components so you're building out of high-level components that mean that the complexity is only shown where it needs to be.

JSX is also far nicer and more explicit than using HTML templates, and brings a lot to the table, especially with 0.12, including ES6-style patterns that work really nicely for describing a structure of components.

Also, not sure about the "boilerplate". What are they talking about?

React.createComponent({ render(){ return <span/>; });

No boilerplate there.

There's not even that much to remember, aside from the component lifecycle, some handy utilities, and a few useful addons.

There are some more complicated but optional things like PropTypes (not necessary at all, but a nice way to provide type requirements for your component's properties) and contexts (which is at current undocumented and a bit weird, but that's not really an official feature).

Unless you are building apps that are utterly tiny, none of this makes sense.

Looking at Riot2, it looks very implicit and magical - how do we know where the HTML ends and the script starts? How do you break your logic apart and have any sort of code re-use?

And for a "non-framework" it certainly seems to deviate from HTML + JS quite a bit.
This article remembered me again that Psychology is something really interesting. No matter how strange all of this can appear to us looking from an outside view, this is how our brain works. If you know how psychology works you are able to create new business around of it. After reading it I wonder about how much, strange or not, psychology demands people have.

> I do not know why microsoft dupplicates this effort.

Why do you say they are duplicating efforts?

The builds on the RedHat page are for: x86 (32-bit), x64 (64-bit x86) but any mention of aarch64, which is what Microsoft has been working on with Azul Systems, is conspicuously missing.

(aarch64 or ARM64 is the 64-bit extension of the ARM architecture.)
The pandemic has made the morning stand ups valuable again!

Before the pandemic my mornings felt pretty useless. First a face-to-face standup and then an online stand-up with another team. An hour in total.

Since the pandemic started that hour has proven more valuable than ever. I do these meetings on my phone now, while taking a brisk walk in the forrest. The morning check-in meetings now feel more valuable than ever, as a means to socialise.
No, you can't.

That becomes clear to everyone at some point.

Or not...
We should develop a treatment. That's pretty much what we should have been doing all along. If we understand the mechanism of death, we should be able to formulate a protocol to stop/contain that mechanism.
Great project. Looks like running outdated Django will be cheaper than running outdated rails... Although I can't remember if there were multiple players delivering "lts" versions for ruby/Rails?

https://railslts.com/
The really funny part is that the engineers don't just dream of those architectures, they implement them. That's how you get an app that adds two numbers that runs on K8S, requires four databases, a queuing system, a deploy pipeline, a grafana/prometheus cluster, some ad-hock Rust kernel driver and a devops team.
I played an incredible amount of Runescape. Then the creators of the game ended up getting bought out by a Chinese mining and commodity's company. Slowly the game started dying as they pushed microtransactions and changed the very nature of the game. But the spirit of the game never died.

That spirit of the game was the 'Dos Equi's guy' [0]. You had all these different skills (mining, woodcutting, farming, etc.) and the purpose of the game was to have the highest level in them all, while accumulating gold and items. As I started hating the changes that where going on within the game, I slowly started to feel a sense of waste as i spent time into the game. I started to think of how i could spend my time better and it turns out this vision for what time spent valuable is directly shaped from my experiences with runescape. If you replaced those 'Skills' in-game, with real life skills and tracked your progress, you could theoretically gamify life. Take for instance cooking. It is a skill in runescape that you can perform in real life. The goal of runescape is to gain more experience and you 'Unlock' the ability to 'Cook' a certain fish or item. In real life there is no barrier to entry or immediate feedback, but you can 'learn' these skills. Turns out they aren't as fun because you can't show off to your friends that you have level 40 flute playing.

Fair comment. But I learned it in my own time on my own computers.

Anyway, one thing I can add is that it is my screenshot on the Acme wikipedia page

Yes, I did read it. How is "don't look" a valid answer?
Author here. I always get asked two questions about libCello.

1. Why?
2. Is anyone using it for anything serious?

The second one is easiest to answer: no. And most people are suprised to hear that I probably wouldn't use it for anything serious either.

If you hadn't noticed from my github page I love C, and while I am also very interested in the things Cello adds such as duck typing and interfaces, and all the syntactic sugar that makes thing really nice and literate; it doesn't interest me enough to choose it over C. Additionally who is going to want to use my project if it uses this weird hacky C library! People are (for good reason) very suspect of dependancies.

That isn't to say I don't like programming in Cello. I'm almost definitely the person who has written the most in it and some things are just a joy to write in it, and look so clear and functional and algorithmic. At some point in the distant future when I find the time I really will attempt something serious such as a web framework. If that takes off we seriously can decide if it really is a good project (hur hur hur).

To be fair, "why" can also be pretty easy to answer depending on who is asking: because I could. Because I thought it was kinda cool and that people would be interested. There seems to be some default position in programming that unless your project is silly or sarcastic people assume you are "advocating" something by doing it, or making some kind of political statement on software development. I didn't work on this project to try and change the world. Nor to create something better than the alternatives. It doesn't change my life if people use Cello or not. I wasn't frustrated with C++, and I wasn't looking for a cylindrical rolly thing for my cart. I just made it for fun.
First, characterizing anyone against the current H1B program as anti-immigration is a nice political tact but has nothing to do with the truth. It is a great way of framing the other side, but it is not a nice way to debate, but it is so common.

The current H1B lowers prices of IT by mostly supplying body shop consultants to American corporations. Go look at the stats of who is getting the most H1Bs and the dirty tricks they are using to assure no citizen can apply for those positions. Now that the big players have been caught illegally colluding on depressing wages this is the next step to cheapen the wage pool.

Second, the silicon valley folks could start recruiting a lot better. Since we talk about ageism[1] and sexism so much, perhaps some effort into recruiting could be spared. While we're at it, perhaps recruiting from other colleges that have programs[2].

Third, I'm all for legal immigration after all part of my family came that way, but I want the H1B program (and its hidden friends) removed. I want all the folks who came here and got degrees given first chance with NO indentured servitude to a single company. The American taxpayer had a hand in educating these students and it is high time we got value from it.

Yes, we should speed up the path for STEM folks we need, but it should not be at a single company's whim.

1) It seems like hollywood actresses have about the same career length as programmers (30 is too old, 40 and 50 are un-hireable).

2) Microsoft in the 90's made it very clear they only wanted people from the school I attended for support since we had a nice midwestern accent.
'view source'.

Every site you visit is a potentially infected site, this one right now is probably one of the safer ones.

That said it contains a surprising amount of cruft for such a simple homepage.
Non-dead, perhaps, but struggling, e.g.: http://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/solaris/OmniOSNo10GF...
Typically you prefix "Show HN:" in the title, if showing your own product. Maybe because this is a place for news, primarily, and so it's not humble to link your own product as a news, but you can ask for community feedback with the prefix.
So how are we supposed to get to "the future", where people aren't wage slaves any more but instead are free to pursue their real dreams and ambitions, if those of us fortunate enough to make some headway should feel ashamed for having done so? Give me a break.
I agree, and my application is pretty much what you describe in your last paragraph.

80% of the queries are simple and use the ORM directly. A few need an extra clause for stuff that isn't handled by the ORM, and I have a couple that need to be high performance (and are abstract enough that they don't fit well with an ORM), which are done via the raw SQL.

REALLY!?

Software engineering is one of the lowest stress jobs out there. I've worked some stressful jobs, and software engineering doesn't even compare. For example try getting yelled at and sworn at and personally attacked regularly. You really have it good if you find your job to be so stressful.

Believe it or not a LOT of people take work home with them, and its something you gotta work on not doing. Not job specific.

Looking for an exciting company who is building cool things. I've worked as an SRE, DevOps Engineer, Platform Engineer, Network Engineer and like to build side projects and code in my spare-time.
did not downvote, but

More accurate to calculate how it still regularly costs a million poor people a dollar each to make one person a new millionaire.

But we all know a $Million doesn't buy what it was supposed to any more, so all million-and-one of them are screwed anyway.

And poor people actually used to be able to afford this kind of spending.
Set the example. Do the things that make a person a good person. The best thing you can do for children is to set the example.
No, 100 connections 10 Mbps each would make it 1 Gbps not 1 Tbps.
Google's looking to attract top talent, talent is looking for "Quality of Life" and those driving factors correlate strongly with said "screwed-up housing markets"
Oh certainly, I didn't mean that there was some magic number. I just wanted to say that obviously temperature extremes don't work. I should never have mentioned that 27 C thing (which was just a misremembered number). It isn't even my own favourite.
I don't know where your 70% came from, but I know for a fact cattle can live quite well without any grain (they love grain, but it is kind of like feeding your kids an all sugar diet. You can only do it for a little while). Start going to your butcher and ask for grass-fed beef. The more demand there is, the more you will see it.

One part of grain that is used for cattle is the grain shaft, which is used for bedding. Not sure if you have a better use for it, but you sure don't want to eat it...even the cows don't eat that (well, they don't each much of it anyway).

Also, make sure you aren't confusing dairy cattle with beef cattle.

Dairy cattle will often eat small amount of grain over longer periods (they live longer), but often consume a larger portion of hog corn and alfalfa. You can read up on "Total Mix Ration" if you want.

Beef cattle, when brought in for finishing will sometimes eat large amounts of grain for a short period.

Do you also want to eat hog corn and alfalfa? You can each hog corn, but the cooking time is pretty high.
Being listed in the AUTHORS file does not imply active participation. libsodium is based on NaCl's algorithms and code, both of which are publicly reusable, but I think they were placed in libsodium by other people. If you clone the repo, `git log --author=bernstein` and `git log --author=djb` return no results.

It's probably worth treating NaCl as something like research code or a reference implementation. It's certainly way more usable than most research code is, which is extremely commendable, but it's still not quite libsodium in terms of its goal as a product.
Math is a weird topic. It can be completely wrong when teachers don't understand maths, and even with teachers that do convey the goal and added values of math, it's still off to me. The algorithms are too complex and learned without any real clues (you basically program pupils as biological Turing Machines / Arithmetic Units.. very sad).
Hmm, can't say I agree. The Peripheral that came out recently was quite good, as good as Neuromancer in my opinion. Felt very real and visceral except for the time travel nonsense which I guess has to be accepted to make a story of it. He integrated all the new stuff we know is going to happen very well, like drones and trading algorithms.

Not sure if it was longer or shorter myself, though. I remember Neuromancer being quite a thin paperback as a kid, but The Peripheral was an even thinner Kindle app on a smartphone and read easily in a couple days. He didn't get into any weird iffy computer existences like in the past which were always a bit of a stretch, so he seems to have dropped some of the self-indulgent stuff you are complaining about maybe.

He could have easily gone just as mysterious about the Chinese server or the crime analyzing algorithms in The Peripheral as he did about the Japanese previously, but he just left it alone, much to the book's benefit.
It's primarily the fiber. Even a couple of hours after the fact, having consumed fiber first will lower glycemic response from simple carbs.
It's the contemporary, mostly inoffensive brand of leftism: the one that obsesses over vague and all-explaining systemic issues like gender, race and climate change, while never questioning the government-fed narrative on geopolitical issues, conflicts and alliances. In other words a lot of critical posturing on the surface and a complete alignment on the deep themes that really matter.

> In addition, some might even value it not having to choose the right binary for their system.

Yes. The true innovation that made all this possible is the novel Actually Portable Executable (APE) format. This means there's no need to choose: Windows will read it as a valid PE file while Linux, the BSDs and Mac will read it as a valid ELF program.

Having code for all operating systems in the executable has always been possible. It's just that before APE there used to be no point. Windows simply isn't able to load and execute an ELF program even if there is Windows code in it.

ELFs would be incompatible even between Linux, Mac and the BSDs since they would almost always depend on very different dynamic libraries. Cosmopolitan fixes this by providing a standard C library with support for everything. I assume incompatibilities can still be introduced by linking against other libraries.
probably not; but the early adopters of that technology were probably upper class people who could survive with and deal with a financial snafu of 1000$.

what really got people (and apple) worked up was the idea that someone could create a "nothing" and make a lot of money with that. now we laugh because we can all create crypto tokens and sell them to naive investors.

One could easily quote some scripture, but since I'm an atheist I prefer logic: It helps tremendously in taking a moral stance if one is not culpable in the very same way.

What's bad for the world is that American also does this. It is imperative to future generations' well-being that the world comes to look more like countries that do this better than America, not that the world comes to look more like America.

Moral leadership starts in your own house, and then when you have a particular issue dealt with then you can go and point your little finger at others.

In the meantime, there is plenty that America does well, this particular subject is not one of those.

South Africa was not put under pressure by countries that themselves practiced Apartheid. It would have been farcical if it had been.
