> it's pretty absurd to only have 1GB for a web application in 2016

While I don't for a minute doubt what you say, as an old guy, the absurdity of 1GB being insufficient for serving up web pages hits me pretty hard.
> There's also a choice aspect of this.

Points taken above.

I'll just point out that the focus on fairness is a strong human trait, and IMHO it is a trait that we over-express. Often our notion of fairness is very biased as well.

We are most likely to recognize situations that are unfair against us, but easily gloss over all the unfair advantages we may have.

An anecdote: One time I was complaining to my grandmother that something wasn't fair, what did I do to deserve this... etc.[1]

And she said: "Don't say that. If we got just a fraction of what we had coming to us for our sins, we'd be in big trouble!"

If we insist that things should be fair, let's be very careful about what we wish for.

[1] She was the most upstanding, hardworking honest person I have ever met, and a whole community agrees with me. And even though her point was made from within a religious framework, I think it is very applicable. She died almost 20 years ago, and she would have been 100 years old today. She is greatly missed. I also realize it's a bit of an imposition to mention this in your thread. I just wanted to insert a reference to a remarkable individual on this anniversary. Her name is Thérèse Pilon.

I am in complete agreement, with the exception of this statement:

> there is virtually no way for the nuke to "fail" in a way that would be even remotely close to a detonation sequence

That is not true, at least not universally. Nuclear bombs are, by definition, designed to go off, and as a result there is a category of failure modes that could lead to inadvertent detonation. Basically, a failure that produces the same command that would cause the normal detonation sequence to begin, could cause an unintended detonation. The Mk. 39 bomb involved in the 1961 North Carolina B-52 crash [0] reportedly came close to detonating in this manner.

Additionally, there are weapons designs that are not "one point safe", such that a failure which causes ignition of the high explosive could lead to a nuclear detonation. Weapons considered "one point safe" require multiple, carefully timed or simultaneous ignitions of the high explosive. The last non-one-point-safe weapons in the US arsenal were built in the 50s but not disassembled until recently; the W56 was reportedly not one point safe [1], or at least not provably so to the safety margins now recognized as reasonable. I don't know of any information in the unclassified literature about whether Soviet weapons are universally one-point-safe or not.

It would not surprise me if there are a variety of weapon designs still floating around in the world that aren't one-point-safe. Single compression "gun type" bombs, like the Fat Man design, would require additional engineering to make one-point-safe beyond what is minimally required to get them to detonate, which makes me suspect that some marginal nuclear powers probably don't bother.

The principal on those loans already went there, and forgiving the debt won't move any additional money there except insofar as people with unpaid student loan debt overlaps with people working in academia.

My programming story: I started with BASIC on an old pocket computer. I typed in games from a manual without really understanding how the code worked. In eighth grade, I programmed a bit in QBASIC in an informal computer class. Then, for years, I didn't program much except for a formula on my TI-82. I never learned the TI-82 programming language well enough to do anything more complex.

Towards the end of high school, I got Internet access and learned HTML to build a web page. I took AP Computer Science (in C++) in my senior year and scored 5 on the exam. I majored in computer science at a top math/science university that isn't as well-known for CS as some other schools. I turned down some of the higher ranked CS schools, which was probably a mistake, especially as I wasn't even that interested in the other sciences. I'm more into languages, and I was interested in CS because of its creative and entrepreneurial potential.

Fast forward to now: I started programming early and majored in CS, and I can write classes, objects, and functions, but I still don't really "get" programming. My algorithms course in college was all math and proofs that I didn't really understand. I've since gone through algorithm MOOCs and implemented some algorithms, but I still can't really apply them. My work involves some programming, but more of it is Linux administration. (I also don't really get how to deal with hardware because of my problems with anything physical.)
Happy to help out :)
Thanks for sharing your use case. I think that code of the cleanup job can be in the same repo as the load test itself. Would that be a fit for you? Of course the load test code can have the testing code of the application as a dependency.

Maybe you prefer the load testing code in the same repo as the application. In that case it should be two jobs that are triggered periodically I think.

I think what GitLab CI still needs is periodic jobs https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/2989 (right now the workaround is sending a build trigger for an external task).

They're quite competent con men. If you call them out about it (as the Coreboot developers did) especially on Reddit, they give very dismissive, yet non-committal comments

"We're in talks with Intel"
"They really want to do this"

The reality is that even Google with their Chromebooks, despite hiring most of the Coreboot team and shipping volume into the likely millions of units, was unable to persuade Intel. Even for the absolutely tiny set of CPU models they use

Fair enough. I'm accustomed to reading 200 character lines, so I guess I don't notice as much. Making the window narrower to force the lines to wrap at 40 or 60 chars feels constricting/claustrophobic to me, and I'm not a big fan of the sites that display text in a thin column, about 1/3 the width of the screen.

There were a few years that I configured my work machine to have dual monitors in portrait mode. That helped my feeling of constriction, while giving shorter lines of text. As a bonus, it matched pretty closely to the 1280 width (at 1200 pixels), and often allowed more of the text to be shown at once.

Ask HN: How to test or proove logic programming?
I've been writing some logic code in core.logic, a clojure port of Will Byrd's miniKanren. To make sure my program is correct for any suitable input (not merely for the example I provided during development), I feel I should write some proof.

Do you know any tool / any manual method to proove a programm written with logic programming? I'm reading the Reasoned Schemer to get further acquainted with logic programming, I could translate my logic Clojure code into logic Scheme if necessary.

In case you'd ask for any code example, you can have a loook here:
https://github.com/piotr-yuxuan/polygam
However, just keep in mind it's a big mess currently under heavy development.

I already know a (very tiny) bit about formal proof of a program and I love to learn. Thanks in advance for your kind replies.

> Punishment is a consequence for your actions.

Right. That's why I said I was being punished for choosing to avoid loans. It's what makes loan forgiveness such a moral hazard: we discourage people for making the financially prudent decision to avoid crippling debt.

If I had instead borrowed money to finance my education, I could have gotten it forgiven and avoided this punishment.
Google Flights. I fly 3-4 times per month and it's godsend.
I think the government should get out of the student loan industry entirely: stop subsidizing them and making interest rates a political issue. Let the market signal which degrees are valuable and which aren't. But also make them dischargeable in bankruptcy. At least then there would be a consequence for people deciding to take out expensive loans for education.

In economic models, one of the biggest reasons for soaring tuition is increased ability to pay. So every move to increase how easy it is to take out student loans causes tuition to go up which causes pressure to make it easier to take out student loans.

Therefore the expected result of your policy is outrage, short term dislocation, and then greatly reduced tuition. Which will move money from academic administration to the rest of the economy.
Couldn't agree more on the pet peeve. I've stopped having coffee after a great meal at a restaurant because inevitably they'll ruin it with a cup of something awful. Even in places like Vancouver, SF or Seattle with a very strong coffee culture, and where pretty much anyone in the food industry knows a good coffee.
Sure. So if you're wealthy, you invest your money. Let's say that the money which you would have received from the student loans which aren't forgiven was earmarked to invest in a new AI startup (with neural nets!). Those funds would be transferred to the startup's bank account, and then used to pay the salaries of people who work at that startup (who theoretically have a high marginal propensity to consume their income than the person who invested money in their employer). These employees then go out and spend money on stuff like Soylent and iPhone 7's and a bunch of other stuff which would be as you describe it "goods demand or consumption".

Even if these wealth hoarding lending class members had just left their money in the bank, remember that these funds have a corresponding entry on the left side of the bank's balance sheet (not much cash/reserve balances in the banking system) and would also have to be loaned out to someone else in the economy by the bank.

So I still don't see how lending money leads to guaranteed lower amounts of consumption in the economy?
I've got just about 60TB in my apartment with gigabit and I wouldn't consider moving them to the cloud. Way too risky for me.

There are some places that are trying to do fully open source hardware, but because the majority of the public doesn't care (they just want their computer to work), nothing big has come out yet.

The likelihood of Swiss-style direct democracy being instituted in the United States is low. From the Federalist Papers onward, protection from the "tyranny of the majority" of minority interests has been been fundamental to the U.S. political system. The system of checks and balances was primarily instituted as a prevention against a tyrannical legislature, not the Executive. There would be intense pushback from both major political parties, political science academics, think tanks, and lobbyist firms.

Using current events as an example, I don't think it would be out of the realm of possibility for a national referendum to pass that called for mandatory citizenship checks of people who appeared to be not born in the United States. Direct democracy works for homogenous populations, but I doubt it is the right fit for the United States.

But if the investor receives the cash from the student as payment of their loan, they have to do something with that cash too (buy dinner at Per Se, grab a new Vertu phone, lend the money to a startup so that the startup can spend the money on consuming goods and services, etc)
Many trademark holders have a policy that you can't use their name as the prefix of the name of something else. So e.g. JavaCache would not be allowed but Cache4Java would be. This reserves the prefix for official products which in theory reduces potential consumer confusion which in theory is the purpose of trademarks.

And a name like docker-marklogic is double doomed because both parts are trademarks so you probably can't say marklogic-docker either.
This is one of those glorious "because I can" projects that I love to see on HN. It shows that in a world full of big data, VC, and startups, where tech is a big buisiness, we can still do something for the fun of it, without having a reason, or trying to provide value. In short, it shows that the hacker spirit isn't dead.

I wonder if we can create a sort of Y combinator for quines: A function called YQ, that, when called with any function X as an argument will pass X a value that, when printed, generates reproduces both X and YQ, and calls X with YQ. I suppose the problem is that it would be hard to reproduce all of the values X depends on. You could just hedge on this, but that's not really the Right Thing.

Can a gun type weapon ever be made one point safe? You'd have to somehow make sure that the explosives could never accidentally drive the two pieces together, which seems impossible. Doing it for an implosion weapon is, relatively speaking, much more straightforward: implosion is inherently finicky anyway, so you design it to fail unless multiple detonations happen at precise times.

There have also been massive cuts in state aid. Frankly, having the federal government instead of state governments pay for college seems better -- the fed always captures benefits (increased tax money) while if you leave the state you grew up in, the state takes a bath on you.
