Ask HN: Where do you host your static site?
I know this is a bit embarrassing to ask in 2016, but I really want to follow through on my resolution to set up a personal website. I want to use Cryogen / Emacs to generate the HTML and then maybe cross post to Posthaven and Medium.

I'm considering github or gitlab pages. Or perhaps Digital Ocean. I'd like to use letsencrypt or another solution so that everything is passed over HTTPS as well. I can tolerate a hosting fee of maybe $5 a month, but would prefer free. Hence my interest in git{hub|lab}. Am I missing anything? What has worked for everyone else?

> I totally get your reluctance to rely on 3rd party, but the question is more for people who already do rely on 3rd party such as AWS or Azure.

Just a little input: Amazon and Microsoft are well known companies. I (and my superiors) think they can support us. Your company that I haven't heard of is not.

It may be dumb sounding, but I won't get in trouble if I used AWS and something went wrong. How could I have known?

With an unknown company, if something goes wrong, it's on me because I selected that vendor.

Stupid perhaps, but important to understand.
I don't buy it. I'm also a New York transplant, and even the folks here with unhealthy diets seem to be in massively better shape than those in car-centric American cities with similar diets. That also goes for folks in car-centric cities who have healthy diets but are still overweight.

My working theory is that walking all the time ramps up the metabolism. Regardless, the notion of a 1:1 relationship between calories consumed and calories "retained" seems suspicious.

[edit] regarding the "you can't outrun the fork" theory of weightloss (e.g. exercising at the gym won't offset a poor diet), I absolutely agree with you, but I think there's a difference between an hour or two of intense exercise every other day (a gym membership) vs a lifestyle of walking everywhere all the time.

Yes, in 1990. Also, you choose to conflate "resources" with "documents".

These are browsers that choose parts of the standard hodge-podge and they suffer for it by not being able to display all pages.

I'm not arguing the situation is great or that you should like it. Hell, I don't even like it. Your criticisms of JS are valid. But your expectations of how the Web should work are _broken_ and they would have been broken 20 years ago. Whether it's 1996 or 2016, the only way your reality could come true is if there was an HTML-first programming style enforced universally. It's so impractical it's barely worth mentioning, so why evangelize?
If I'm understanding this correctly, they scanned an area of the sky for two different types of radiation, CIB and CXB. Those should have been different, because of the nature of the first stars, but they were very close. The only thing that can match that spectrum is a black hole. By pairing that with the data gained when LIGO collected 2 black holes collapsing into 1, this gives support to the theory that dark matter is made of primordial black holes that formed within the 1 second of the big bang. Hopefully someone can correct my understanding, because I enjoy this a lot.

I'm surprised at the negative attitude you have of MSR. People at MSR seem to have it pretty good and are free to publish their results to the open, so I don't see anything wrong with what they do.

> matches daylight. How is this possible for such an old tech?

Kind of makes sense when you realize that the sun and an incandescent bulb are both generating light as a small slice of their overall thermal radiation envelope. It's just heat, made visible in both cases. And like sibling commenter said, the CRI was defined based on the incandescent.
ISO May Propose Certified Standards for Blockchains and Distributed Ledgers
Incandescents work more similarly to the sun and are basically a natural full spectrum light source. Florescents and LEDs are not, so they need to be tweaked/hacked/refined to produce an ideal spectrum. Florescents are known to use mercury to help with this, making them bad for the environment. And though the prices are coming down, high CRI LED's have been a trailing technology with high CRI 5000K bulbs becoming affordable/viable only recently.
In the former, a small closed source centralized authority has all the information and power.

In the latter, everyone has the information, so the balance of power is evened.

Wouldn't the subset {(a, b) | a,b > 20} be monochromatic?

Ed:

Perhaps I phrased it poorly, but I think the point was to show that you can always construct a predicate, P over a and b, such that P(a, b) is finitely defined (such as "a > 20 and b > 20"), but {(a, b) | P(a, b) is true} is infinite and monochromatic.

Instead of having some cases of colorings where your only option is to construct things of the form "(a = 5 and b = 17) or (a = 3 and b = 47) or ..." where you just list out every pair that matches (in an infinite subset).

Okey, correction then, if you are not Sun/Oracle (and most people aren't) and create an identical copy of CDDL and call it "bobs license", then BL and CDDL is incompatible because of the conditions in the otherwise identical licenses. Point being, the condition that create the incompatibility between CDDL and GPL is that both want their license to be used when distributing. Remove that condition from either license, that is CDDL or GPL, and the license incompatibility goes away. It would also turn either license into a permissive license.

I agree. In India Nokia was voted as "Most Trusted Brand" for years. Cell phone == Nokia in India. All they had to do was to put Android in some phones as an arbitrage move and they could have still been the leader in that space in India. Which has grown like 8x in last 5 years.

Well, there's street parking, for one. In SF, for example, developers are not allowed to put as many parking spots as there are units. This is supposed to drive people to use mass transit, but more obviously increases demand for street parking. OTOH, single-family housing almost always has dedicated driveways/garages to eliminate this issue.

I'm not saying text content doesn't have its place, but what I am saying is that unless you're absolutely certain your users aren't going to be using JS (hint: that's effectively no one) then it's just not worth your time to accommodate those users - especially when they optionally disable JS, AND you have to degrade the experience for the rest of your users in most practical applications.

Second, I was attempting to make a generalized assessment that no one should particularly care about a prior/current/whatever employee's opinion, precisely because it is sorely lacking in technical details that matter.

A few months ago I wrote a web-app that lets you pick an image off your computer, and convert it to a cross-stitch pattern.

I did it using javascript entirely client side, so it works offline, it's secure (as it doesn't send the images anywhere), and it is fast to load (letting you change settings and get the new cross-stitch in the blink of an eye).

With your idea of doing things, i would need to pay for a server (and would probably need to then charge my users who wouldn't pay, so it's now DOA), it would be significantly slower, it would be less secure/private, and wouldn't be able to do things like auto-change the size of the resulting image depending on the screen size of the browser (important for mobile! don't want to overload the browser with massive images).

That needs javascript, and for you and others to keep acting like anything that uses javascript is a toy that shouldn't exist is arrogant and wrong.
I just wanted to say this is a really fascinating comment, and it's given me a lot to think about. It's an interesting perspective that I haven't run across before.

- Erlang (this fits your criteria at least as Java...)

- OCaml (concurrency isn't the best)

- Haskell (also fits your criteria very well)

- D (easy to use C libraries and sometimes C++)

- Rust (not GCed, but why is GCed a requirement?)

- Mercury (admittedly pretty obscure, but using C libraries is easy enough and it fits everything else)

Java only seems like a good choice if you ignore all the languages that are a better choice than Java. IMO Erlang seems like the choice here (or Elixir if you don't like Erlang syntax).
Well I read the front page of the website which says that Realm is a replacement for sqlite and coredata.

>The benefits of open and free markets are obvious.

All "developed" countries were heavily protectionist in their formative years. Only now that they have some economic power in the world, they're trying to impose asymmetrical "free trade" agreements on nations which are not developed and force them to abandon protectionism. These are just the facts.

>I think you're overplaying the perceived benefit of protectionism.

A lot of it is about performance, if you need JS to fetch the content of your site after the SPA or Shell has loaded then you are incurring a significant amount of overhead for something that could have been streamed from the server and rendered as it was parsed by the browser.
Uber has also benefited from the fact that they offered a service in a well-established market--getting a driver to take you somewhere without reserving in advance. But a market that in many, maybe most, places was poorly served by existing incumbents for all sorts of local monopoly and regulatory capture reasons.

It's easier to displace incumbents when they offer a widely used service but they basically suck at it.

Things like food and package delivery, on the other hand, work pretty well where the economics have worked and it's unclear that uberizing, say, grocery delivery makes it attractive and financially viable where it wasn't before.

Yet the author thinks the cost is comparable, so there is that.

I was able to arrive at a design that, if mass-produced, could indeed compete with the Cirrus SR22. It would weigh and cost about the same, and its range would be very similar: about 920 miles. The plane’s cruising speed would be somewhat less—173 as opposed to 212 mph. But that seems a reasonable bargain, given that the electric aircraft would consume about a quarter of the energy per flight.

Seriously, we could have robots taking care of us. Free food delivery and a basic income for just being a citizen. Unfortunately this undermines much of what drives innovation and hence the economy as we know it... so though the math seems to work:

automated robots = free labor = us not having to do it + receive their products

... it just isn't that straight forward. Currently it's heading towards:

automated robots = free labor for business owners = us not having those jobs + them still getting what we would have produced
That is not true at all. We have an entire service economy that is rife for automation. It hasn't been automated yet because it wasn't cost efficient. It is rapidly becoming so.

The voltage droop isn't as bad as you'd think, I don't get limited power until I'm below 10% in our Tesla 85D. Even "full throttle" for most electric motors isn't near the max C rating(because amps = heat = power loss).

This seems similar to the guidelines from the book "Diet Cults" called "agnostic healthy eating" which is a list of foods with the better foods to eat at the top of the list.

Essential foods (eat more of these than the other types of foods):

1. vegetables

2. fruits

Recommended foods:

3. nuts, seeds, and healthy oils

4. high-quality meats and seafood (by this he means "wild-caught fish and shellfish, only the highest-quality farm-raised seafood, the leanest meat cuts, and meats from wild game and free-ranging animals fed natural diets". Also eggs.)

5. whole grains

6. dairy

Acceptable foods (eat less of these than the other types):

7. refined grains

8. low-quality meat and seafood ("all processed meats and all but the leanest cuts of unprocessed meats" as well as "seafood that does not meet the quality standards of watchdog organizations such as the Aquaculture Stewardship Council" are in this category)

9. sweets

10. fried foods

No particular category is required if you don't want to eat them, as long as you eat more of each grouping than the one below it.

Some of the differences between the two are that the linked article would allow "low-quality" meat as long as it isn't processed, but doesn't include as much "healthy oil" or dairy. Another difference is the article would consider a whole grain cereal to be "highly processed" whereas it would be "whole grains" in the book (the appendices have more details on which foods go in which categories). Same for 100% whole grain bread. So the only qualm I might have is it could be healthier to include more healthy oil and less meat.

The article adds behavioral guidelines to cook at home and eat with people to get you to cook more. These guidelines seem both slightly more strict yet also makes the whole list easier to follow. I lost weight on the list I wrote above (agnostic healthy eating), but stopped following it after a while. Your success on the article's guidelines makes me want to try it.

> That is, if you were to copy your game install folder for a title that uses CEG, you would have problems running that executable.

I don't believe this is true. The "backup game content" flow is fairly solid. Only time you'll run into issues if you try to import it into another online Steam account.

> Just to clarify, is this the same quote of "If Steam ever goes under, we'll release a patch to remove the DRM"? Because I've been following and trying to track down that pernicious quote for years, and have never once found a credible source on the matter. [...]

I've seen variations of it in a few places. It wasn't "we'll release a patch", it was more "your games will continue to work even if Steam disappears." I was just listening to an interview with Gaben on The Nerdist (circa 2013ish?) and I believe he said that there as well. The first of the two parts.

I mean this isn't hard to validate. Go offline, see if your games continue work. It's not like EA's Origin or Sony's always-on stuff.

> As I understand, you still need to go online for the initial run, correct? And also if there's been any updates/patches I believe.

If you're running from a backup copy, you don't need to go online for the initial run. If you want to download updates/patches from Steam, then yes you need to be online to do online things.
