Sure, this works for one kind of migration -- a whole-hog swap of data source.

How would this work for alterations to an existing database?

I don't think it would, at least not for an unsharded relational database.

Anyhow, just something to think about. NoSQL's magic, right?
But from that storage "problem" you get to avoid hosting on a dynamic platform, and literally just need a static web host. As mentioned you can put stuff up on s3 and be done with it.

At large scale of visitors, this kind of approach is a lot easier to handle than the dynamic model.

Instead (or rather in addition) to storing power, we can also get better at coordinating demand.

There are already programs for industrial users to get electricity for much cheaper, if they can tolerate power cuts during peak demand. Those programs will become more and more rewarding to join and extend and automate as supply gets spikier.

>* The basic problem with this approach is well understood: As the corpus of content on a given site grows, render time quickly approaches time between updates. In other words, you start waiting for renders to complete before you can change something else on the site.*

Only on naive systems -- or if you change the design and layout of the whole site.

Besides, for 99% of websites that are not news or forum sites, the content never grows that much. And for brochure style sites, it's at most a few 10s of pages per year.

>Meanwhile, as a site grows, the number of contributors tends to grow, including authors, editors, illustrators, photographers.

That never happens for 99% of sites -- that could still use static rendering.

So not only are the static renders taking longer as the site grows, there is also a growing likelihood that someone will want to touch a piece of content in a given time period, thus triggering a new render.

Medical Errors Are Leading Killer After Heart Disease and Cancer, Study Finds
There has to be intent in there someone. A gun is a weapon. A rock can be a weapon. A dangerous polluting factory may be criminally negligent and morally despicable, but it's not a weapon unless it was deliberately deployed to maximize exposure to a target group.

Well, yeah, British usage has some hangovers from pre-capitalist class structures wherein the nobility constitute the upper class, and what became the capitalist upper class is part of the middle class between the nobility and the peasantry.

Whereas American English mostly, when it adopted class language, got it from traditional discussions of capitalist class structure, but its since evolved to where frequently "middle class" is used to mean "middle income" (solidly in the working class in the classical divide of classes in capitalist society), and the traditional capitalist middle class is "upper middle class" (or sometimes even "upper class"), and the capitalist upper class -- the owners of capital who rent labor -- are mostly just not discussed at all as a class of people, but as abstract institutions if at all.

Ah! I was hoping someone from Vancouver might comment, as I have heard through the grapevine that there is HUGE foreign money (mainly from China) buying up land there, and driving prices sky high. Hadn't heard much else than rumor about it though. Hopefully Vancouver will figure something out, I hear it's a very nice place to live.
We'd chatted before - for some reason your handle is mnemonic :)

I'd just as soon not be specific if you don't mind. And in the past it's been wireless, data collecting, even point of sale. Longer past, databases and such.

Your last paragraph is spot on. I'm a tiny mote in the overall cost structure, there's a healthy risk aversion and lead times favor good practice. The downside is - I don't have much cover when things don't work.

I'm sympathetic to the plight of people dealing with this, and have the conceit ( probably misplaced ) that I can offer encouragement.

What you are talking about is demand shaping.

It's already happening, but I predict we'll see more of that in the future.

Eg lots of industrial applications like smelting aluminium can do with short-ish power cuts. In return, they get a steep rebate on their electricity bill.

> The vast vast majority of the population reject basic income, in favour of a meritocracy, where the harder you work, the more money you can earn.

Meritocracy still persists under a UBI, just like meritocracy persists alongside our welfare system.

> Confiscating money from everyone, and then distributing it equally amongst the population (Regardless of whether they need it or deserve it) doesn't sit very well with people.

Yes, that is a massive political hurdle that will need to be overcome. A large problem is that the way we tax isn't ideal. A land value tax would be easier to justify from a moral standpoint, along with being economically superior to an income tax.
You could also get a static website generator to output e.g. PHP or HTML files with 99.99% static content and includes/SSI for commonly shared content.

This way few or no pages need to change just because the shard content (e.g. a "latest posts" box) changes when a new post is added.

And you still get the speed of serving, security, AND simplicity and easy hostability of merely serving static files.
Depends on why you want to use a random number generating library. What are your requirements and specifically what are your requirements that aren't satisfied with the system's csprng. Once you have that defined, you can start looking at what algorithms you want and from there what libraries implement it.

Edit: or to put another way, first define what is it that linux's getrandom() and /dev/urandom doesn't provide you.
It would be better to transfer the money publicly later to destroy the key. I think accidentally or non-provably losing the key to this is the worst possible thing -- no one can believe you, so they have to act as if you have the money, but you don't have control of it to do anything with it (including verifiably destroy it.)

Thanks for showing me these issues.

For what it's worth, I'm conflicted on the whitespace. I see as well that it would be nice to have it all on one page, but that the current design uses whitespace to separate items is something I like. But I'm not saying that the way the price display for example is working is perfect and can't be changed.

For the bootstrap and form styling, I don't think that bootstrap is the answer here. I am capable of building reliable enough css, I just do not know what to change. A framework can give guidance, but I do not know one that implements this specific combined form input properly. Might be that I just do not have enough experience with them to know where to look.
> I would like Basic Income to be a bit more than $10,000 per year.

That's not basic, though. I don't think there are many towns (maybe none) in the USA where you can't stay warm, dry, safe, and clean with a soft bed and a healthy diet for $700 per month.

It does appear that way, but it's not true. The marketing was simply toward those who buy it more often that's all.

>>unless you've got a confirmed performance problem, you shouldn't think about it at all.

I like to write high quality code that I'm proud of. This means code not just works, but works efficiently and fast. It goes back to what Steve Jobs said once:

“When you’re a carpenter making a beautiful chest of drawers, you’re not going to use a piece of plywood on the back, even though it faces the wall and nobody will ever see it. You’ll know it’s there, so you’re going to use a beautiful piece of wood on the back. For you to sleep well at night, the aesthetic, the quality, has to be carried all the way through.”

That said, this is more of an ideal to strive towards and it's not always possible. Sometimes there are tight deadlines that need to be met, and something has to give. In such scenarios, I agree with your order of priorities: 1) code that works, 2) code that works well, 3) code that works fast.
Perhaps they should consider another line of work.

Yes because with Uber you know what you're getting. I'm not sure if you're familiar with London black cabs, but as far as I know they are the most expensive taxis in the world, and they justify the expense by citing their training, knowledge and expertise. Short of that all you're getting is a tight turning radius (admittedly quite useful in London).

I do think the embedded community should embrace better tools. But I dunno. This will be difficult - sort of a "science only improves one funeral at a time" thing...

Ok, may be not quite 10X. It's 1+.9+.81+.72+... which ends up about 9.4X.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional-reserve_banking#/me...

Fractional reserve plus debt do create money. The accounting cancels out on the book but there are money circulating in the system. If accounting balanced to 0 means no money is created, then FOMC buying and selling treasury creates no money at all since it's net zero on the book at the end. Yet FOMC has the stated purpose to create/destroy money for the Fed.

The debt among friends example doesn't create money because it's the same $10 passing from friend to friend while the IOU issued is not very liquid. It would work if you hand $10 to Bob for safe keeping and he gives you a deposit slip while lends $10 to Carl. Now you have the deposit slip valued at $10 and Carl has $10 in his pocket. The deposit slip is very liquid since you can get back the money at any time.

> TCP implementations will follow a general principle of robustness (...)

This rule has worked well for TCP implementors in large part because of their circumstances, which are very different from those of browser implementors and Web developers:

(0) Priorities: How much do the following desiderata matter to each group: reliability, performance, new features?

(1) Skill: What skills does a representative programmer from each group have?

(2) Risk profile: How does each group cope with the possibility of design and implementation errors? How much technical debt are they willing to take?

I'd contend that Postel's law doesn't scale beyond relatively small groups of highly skilled programmers, for whom reliability is paramount and trumps all other considerations.
Exactly, in most cases it's basically just enough to keep the motors from being fouled with dust and debris.

I may be completely wrong, but the mental picture I have is all thse Linux distros and Windows installs in the whole world, and switching them over to OpenRustSSL from OpenSSL.

I'll stick with the Klingon honor thing - which is fully intended to be utterly hyperbolic. That's just what you can do personally - really polish that thing before it escapes. I know it's painful. But you have to tell your ego to sit that one out.
Perhaps investment goes down, but it will be more focused on things that benefit society as a whole, because they are much more able to consume it.

> A FairTax + Basic Income hybrid solution could solve a vast majority of hotly debated issues in this country.

Completely aside from the other response, this point is just...wrong. The vast majority of hotly debated issues in this country are not hotly debated because people share a concern but are divided on the best way to address it, such that there is some policy solution that exists which could "solve" the issue. They are hotly debated because people disagree on the first principles of what goals we should seek, not the mechanics of how to address them.

As well as the obvious culture-war issues where this is the case, this is true of much of the immigration debate, many economic debates (where fundamentally clashing ideas of what constitutes "fairness" that should be sought exist), and so on.

Perhaps it isn't really a brown dwarf. According to http://www.slate.com/blogs/bad_astronomy/2016/05/03/three_ea... :

> TRAPPIST-1 is an M8 dwarf, only 0.08 times the mass of the Sun; just barely massive enough to fuse hydrogen into helium in its core. If it were much lower mass we wouldn’t call it a star at all (we’d say it’s a brown dwarf).

And the Wikipedia article on brown dwarfs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_dwarf

> Brown dwarfs are substellar objects not massive enough to sustain hydrogen-1 fusion reactions in their cores, unlike main-sequence stars.

Apparently TRAPPIST-1 is an actual star, which makes it a (small, cool) red dwarf, not a brown dwarf. But it is near the dividing line.

(A brown dwarf with planets would be interesting, but they probably wouldn't be potentially habitable.)
