Well, not quite. If we had started back when climate change became clear mid-20th century, #3 wouldn't have been needed. But now, it is indeed the only option, and it will be very expensive. And the more we delay, the more expensive it'll become. We are basically screwing over future generations who will have to pay our debts.
I think Monzo is making moves to expand into the US. There's a waitlist (you might be bumped up if you were a UK customer?). I got one but didn't end up using it very often.
It's a huge vote of confidence for HBase that the creators of Cassandra would choose it and its simple strong consistency model.
That's the best advice I've read in weeks.
Thank you.
I'm changing this right now for the notification emails of our startup.
omfg, that website is beauty itself. seriously.
Many users of HBase (including ourselves) use different, more efficient encoding of values into byte arrays than converting them to String's first, then byte arrays. For example, it's common to use protobuf to encode an object into a byte array for storage in HBase.

Rather than have 2 copies of all the api methods (one for people storing just Strings, and one for arbitrary byte arrays), it's simpler to have a single call and let the caller use the Bytes.toBytes method if they want to store a String.
The article title is misleading though. This actually has no advice on what the best way to write down ideas is. I was expecting a comparison of bullet point to free-form text to some kind of mind map.

Instead this seems to be little more than a tutorial on how to make a doc world editable.

I am the opposite, haven't used a GUI file manager in...15 years? I am most certainly not "already in it".

(Ok, with the exception of wanting to look at a bunch of images in thumbnail mode. Then I launch a GUI file manager.)

The shell is where I "am" and launching a GUI seems more cumbersome than typing the command.

In fact reading this post made me realize that using the terminal for file operations is not as common as I thought.
The change won't be for free. But rather than lower the usefulness of cars, make sure new cars have better fuel economies (which directly translates to lower pollution). Within 10-15 years, clunkers get replaced anyways, so a general policy of "by 2027, all newly-registered cars must have a maximum amount of X litres per 100 kilometres" or a ban of Diesel engines outside of speciality markets (military, agriculture, trucks) would hurt virtually no-one (but inefficient car makers, who should improve).

If you hit the poorest, you won't get a ecological paradise, you'll eventually get the next iteration of an autocratic dictatorship (either left-wing or right-wing) - now with the extra support of the industry. No-one needs that.

Can confirm. Linux "just works" now to the extent that it's boring. I remember when I was a teen the struggle of getting things like WiFi to work and the joy when you finally did it. For years now I've been running Gentoo and it works better than most distros did back then!
I'm trying to think of one and literally can't. everything works these days. even Bluetooth audio isn't a problem anymore.
Yes, Apple could have a cleaner process. Here's an example:

1) First submit application spec. The spec must get approved. That way you know the basic idea is fine.
2) Have a clear set of requirements -- largely automatable. MS does this for logo requirements and for the consoles. Devs can test against this even before submitting. This would be things like battery consumption, CPU utilization, stress, etc...
3) Apple has discretion to block apps for extenuating circumstances -- this should be rare, like an App not implementing the spec at all.

This would lead to even greater quality, decreased uncertainty, and increased transparency.

On a much larger scale, nothing equals the real world because the real world is endlessly complicated. To take in the breadth and depth of human perspectives and experiences is simply impossible. This is only a problem when people fail to realize they are only seeing as tiny, unrepresentative sliver so they can adjust their reactions accordingly.

One of my favorite "anomalies" is dark matter. Not much explanation for it so far. One of my favorite quips on HN put it thusly:

GR only matches observation because you added in 20x more stuff that is undetectable other than as a deviation from the predictions of GR.

The way to counter this is to know the IP a given CNAME resolves to, and to block “rogue” (read: tracking) IPs.

As an open-source DNS implementer, I know this has already been done, since my DNS server (MaraDNS’s Deadwood recursive resolver) has the ability to refuse to resolve DNS names with bad IPs via ip_blacklist.

The reason I implemented this is to block NXDOMAIN redirects (when using an ISP’s DNS server and mistyping a domain name, instead of getting “nothing there”, it goes to an ad-filled “search” page provided by the ISP), but the implementation scales and it should work for blocking a large number of rogue CNAME redirects like this one.

I’m sure others have implemented something similar out there (I will let someone who knows the pihole ad-blocking DNS server, not to mention NextDNS, better than me tell us how they do this), and I’m sure Firefox, if they do not do so already, will allow ad/privacy blockers to know the IP of a given name to allow blocking at the browser level.
Also plain old keyboard input is an important part of this. Dealing with international keyboard layouts is anything but trivial. E.g. to write ñ on my keyboard layout (fi), I need to press AltGr+~ and then n. In X11, this is handled by the XIM library.

There's no shortage of applications that do this incorrectly.

Particularly annoying are some games which don't get this right. The key for ", ^ and ~ is a "dead" key (doesn't produce any character output, to write ~ you press AltGr+~ and then space) which is where the US keyboard has ]. Lots of games use [] for something important, and this completely fails to work on my key layout.

For game keyboard input, the game should use "raw" scan codes (which are keyboard specific) for all configurable keys. Ie. not "keysyms" and especially not character codes.

International keyboard handling is very difficult. I was talking about a mostly western key layout, I don't even want to know what it's like to deal with non-western keyboard layouts (russian, greek, chinese, japanese, etc).
Fedora is cutting edge experimental distro. So yes.
Or Java with JAX-RS. Or one of probably hundreds of alternatives.
It launched the Apollo CSM to higher speeds, to reach the moon. That's the fastest man has travelled. Depends of course on your point of reference...
Extremely loaded question. There's a documented increase in pollution, but trying to tie specific deaths to the increase is extremely difficult. We're talking about macro effects, not micro effects; so e.g. cancer deaths might increase by 20% or so, but cancer existed before the increase and will continue exist if fracking is stopped.
I've pretty much faced all of the problems mentioned in this article. An application is set of services with a certain complexity that work together. In some cases this complexity just gets transferred from service level to orchestration level.

Don't get me wrong, I love microservices and will try to use them in all my future work, but I think where people often go wrong is that they over commit to it without realising the downsides. I often see people casually using AMQP queues for pretty much everything, only when they need the worker service to talk back to the originating service that they realise they've made a wrong architectural decision.
"Compare this to typical metalworking: Find the appropriate ore. Stick it in a fire. Depending on the metal, let it melt completely and pour it into a sand cast, or get it red-hot and then bang on it with a hammer."

This reminds me of something I read about the "Great Leap Forward" in China, where my impression is authorities thought something like, yeah, metalworking is simple, let's get everyone making steel, and then the results were not good for much.

So, sure, bread is something that doubtless took thousands if not tens or hundreds of thousands of years to develop, but that's no reason to take metalworking for granted.

I keep being reminded of this post which I first saw on HN:

Except, come on, it's not surprising.
Repeating my reply to this question asked by someone else above. I genuinely want to engage people on this question.

---

My problem with Kubernetes is people adopt it without understanding it. They adopt it because everyone else is without ever asking, "Why?"

I've installed and managed a simple K8s cluster before now and it was a nightmare (this was only a year ago.) It wasn't until we moved the management of the cluster to a managed service that it became worth it. It was at THAT point it was worth containerising the application(s) (another complexity to overcome) and letting K8s handle the deployment and scaling.

I'm worried that as an engineering culture we're not pushing back enough and saying, "Yeah K8s is cool but look: do you really need it? It's very likely you don't".
For me to automatically recommend K8s to my clients I'd need to see a (near) zero friction deployment options that's fully feature compliant and truely fully managed. It's at that point I would be happy to say, "Sure! Let's go with K8s and just write YAML files to deploy our containers!"

(And then there's the whole debate as to whether or not you even need a container around your monolith... probably not. Then the next debate about people starting out with microservices when we all know that's not a good idea.)
yep, yc can't capture the patents if there's no patent system in place.
In terms of privacy, isn't running your own VPN pointless?

I mean, it is basically just changing your IP and putting an additional hop in. You aren't mixing with other's traffic, making it very easy to fingerprint you.

I guess this is all dependent on someone's threat model, but I am not really sure if there is any benefit of running your own VPN besides being slightly more sure your VPN provider or someone who hacked your VPN provider isn't watching you.
That was my interpretation as well, however, people who build their own computers should probably look in detail what the license entails as it may be like Windows 8 System Builder Edition. AFAIK, the System Builder Edition is bound to your computer's motherboard and any changes will make Windows unusable.

I've recently started sending my todo lists to my friends and asked them to do the same. The progress I've made is substantial. Tasks I haven't finished in years were done in a week, and I finished significantly more work than I set out to do. One of my side projects which has been sitting idle for over a year will be finished this weekend.
that's exactly why product managers exist. i run precisely such a team, because there are no devs out there that know enough about our vertical - and the time learning and keeping up to date would be prohibitive.
> fastest and cheapest high quality

As the old saying goes, pick any two (or sometimes just one)

I used to produce high quality video tutorials. I used "Screenflow" from Telestream. I had a professional quality Shure microphone and an audio mixer, as well as a USB sound card. Probably the most important component is your audio, much more so than video quality, so spend some money on good quality audio equipment.

I pre-planned my tutorials, recorded the tutorials and then edited them. For editing, I did most of it in Final Cut Pro, although I was eventually able to do it all in Screenflow. I spent a huge time editing - synching audio and video, recording parts where I messed up.

All told, for a 20 minute tutorial I would probably spend an hour planning, 40 minutes recording, 3 hours editing, and 2 or 3 hours encoding the video. The encoding part would probably go much faster on today's hardware, but the 2 or 3 hours editing was the result of many hours of learning - it was probably 8 or 9 hours to edit the first ones.

If you're recording screencasts, I wholeheartedly recommend screenflow. Without a doubt it's the best screencast software there is (not an ad, just a happy customer).
This seems like hazing to me. _You don't have to work all these crazy hours, but it might help if you want to join our club._

Check out "Your Money or Your Life" by Vicki Robin and Joe Dominguez. Although some of the specifics no longer apply because 30-year Treasury bonds aren't near 10% like they were when the author became financially independent (in the 1980s), a lot of the rest sounds like something you'd be interested. Actually, it looks like there's a revised edition (2008) that I had not seen until just now. In brief, the book is about cutting un-needed expenses, and earning as much as you can, in order to start making enough interest income to no longer need to work, at which point you can do what you would do if you didn't have to get paid, if you so desire.
The military trials of which you speak deal with military penal code as set out by Congress, not by the President. Likewise the trials are overseen in the end by the civilian Supreme Court.

In the actual military the untoward influence (real or perceived) of the convening officer on the outcome of the case is a B.F.D., just witness all the sexual assault/harassment cases that were being upended by Obama's condemnation of servicemembers who engage in them. In fact SECDEF himself had to issue a memo saying, in effect, that the POTUS expects trial members/judges to use their own independent judgment when considering the facts of a case, just as specified in the M.C.M.

You're right that an independent actor is what is needed in general, but Col. Lind does not report to the President on this, she reports to the Commanding General of the Military District of Washington, which is a completely separate chain of command from the one that was issuing orders relating actions in Iraq of Afghanistan.

You're right that there's a bias here, but there are also people on the other side and (I hope) a nontrivial number who don't identify with sides and are here to learn.

So your understanding is that it's true that people died as a result of Manning's leaks? My understanding is that it's not true and that military leaders have said publicly that it wasn't true. If that's wrong, I'd appreciate hearing why.
Not entirely unexpected. That said, I really respected what the Garage was trying to achieve. It is nice that most of the employees will transfer over to suitable, I am sure that those that don't will be treated well.

I have used Willow as an example of the good that newly minted millionaires can do when explaining to my non-tech friends how this area keeps going. It's amazing to watch someone with a big chunk of change from their previous endeavour to turn around and plunge it into new cool things. Non-techies think that folks just buy a yacht and spend the rest of their days in the Bahamas (or Beleize :-)) but the reality is people are driven to create cool stuff.

Yes, but that strikes me as about as useful as noting how many genes human beings have in common with yeast. (Useful in some contexts, but not all.)

I don't understand why you would bother? If they still had the file, wouldn't they be quite able to post it elsewhere? Why the censorship? I'm not comfortable in the knowledge that Dropbox can willy nilly refuse to allow me to share files on a case by case basis.
Hi "uxp" thanks for you kind words. I was not too concerned about forcing users to register. Since the main benefit for registration is on their side - they can check the compression history and also stay up to date about new features ( i have a lot of features coming once i get more free time)

Is this line terrifying to anyone else? Between this and the published security problems, I am steering clear of this service.
It depends on what you want out of Redditgifts. If it is a "project" then you can continue to hack around with new technologies but if you want to make a business out of it then probably you should use the tools which you have already mastered (in your case python). Creating a business itself is so demanding that shifting your focus on "newer" technologies (e.g. node.js) will make it twice as difficult.
One approach which you can take is to use the technology which you know well to create critical business components and for housekeeping (metrics, analysis etc.) use the bleeding edge of technology.
Strike 2, dropbox
Guess my post needed sarcasm tags because it seems you're attempting to refute my point, which was that America only says it values work. But as famously pointed out by Warren Buffet that his secretary pays more in tax than he does[0], it is obvious what America really values: asset holders, not workers.

[0] Buffet's secretary pays a higher rate on earned income than Buffet does on capital gains.
There needs to be a whole lot of 10+ year sentences handed out. Obviously anyone directly involved in the officer's death will have the book thrown at them and probably never see the outside of a cell again, but all these people need to be made an example of.
I think it's a LITTLE significant that this is the first time the Capitol has been breached in over 200 years.
Can you specify what are those devices which do not have hardware encryption support? Processors have had hardware support for ages. On the Intel side, at least from 2006, with the Core2Duo.

Any modern system(even on the low end) that you could conceivably want to trust important data to can handle encryption requirements with ease.

One problem if we are talking about Bitlocker specifically is that if the drive reports that it supports encryption, then Bitlocker offloads the responsibility to the drive. And the drive encryption might be badly implemented.
Not really, it would just put the onus of deciding the truth onto the court systems, which doesn't sound great. JetBrains can't prove they weren't the underlying vulnerability so I have a hard time seeing any world where they would be able to successfully sue The New York Times here.
I was really impressed at how graceful the machines were.

It's not the first time I've noticed that; drones can also be quite graceful. But the dynamic motion of that pendulum is such a hard problem, and as you note, the three year olds solve it with unconscious ease.

Never as gracefully, and there of course the machines have a huge advantage. I spend most of my brain power keeping the tense muscles very tense and the loose muscles very loose, for each and every one of those tiny stabilizer muscles. The machines move straight and smooth in a way I never will. I haven't mastered the simple art of standing there in first position, and probably never will.

(I am not, I would note, any kind of expert. I dance at the level of an 11 year old. Maybe a 10 year old. Which took me years to learn, and I'm very proud of it.)
Heck, they just reached out to me, which means they’re scraping the bottom of the barrel.
I have to say that Brians recent posts seem a little pissy and childish in his wordings. He also stated facts that are untrue such as that most of Lulzsec are in jail...currently most of them are out and never served much time.
The only thing I've seen Scribd used for is embedding legal filings on various news and e-rag sites. Getting into legitimate publishing distribution is going to be tough. Licensing content is a pain; and once the sweetheart deals expire, there go the profit margins.
