Thank you for the warning about the new Pros.

I have a 2008 Mac Pro that is still incredibly reliable, but I am starting to feel the need for a new computer for music production. And it doesn't look like they will even support the 2008 Pros with the next OS release.

I miss Snow Leopard -- Logic on Snow Leopard was an incredibly solid platform for music production!

I'm contemplating whether it might be possible to do all my music work on Mac Minis. I really like having four hard drives and a tower case...
The expected response from UPS and Fedex is "if you don't use us for the cities, we'll refuse to take your harder deliveries. You need to be all or nothing."

Or the equivalent: "we see the writing on the wall, so we're going to charge you an arm and a leg for each harder delivery, to make the most money before you handle those deliveries on your own too."
Not that URLs are authorities on publication date, but the New World Economics article appears to have been published in 2009, and this article appears to have been published in 2012.
I'm sure that if Amazon only left the low or negative margin deliveries with their partners, their partners would be forced to renegotiate those deals worth Amazon.
that's the thing, at the point that the computer is already that good, missing that one accident isn't optimal sure, but it's definitely better than the current state of vehicle operation.
For me the primary motivation for switching over was as I said, the weight loss and ease of staying calorie-deficient. I can eat 1500 calories or less every day no problem on Keto. If I'm off Keto I get insanely hungry and experience blood sugar crashes frequently on a calorie-deficient diet.

Not gonna lie, the lure of Keto was the promise that it's easy to stick with in terms of how your body reacts to it. I just get so much more hungry when I'm off Keto even if my caloric intake is the same.
If most cars on the road are self-driving, traffic will move a lot faster (assuming that laws allow them to go fast). Stop and go traffic is the result of human latency, over-acceleration, over-braking, and inattention.
Custom.

PHPMyAdmin is useful but only as far as a basic replacement for an SQL Management Suite, but most bespoke management suites offer more functionality (e.g. tracing, profiling, etc). Plus securing the raw ports for remote management is far easier than trying to secure PHPMyAdmin sitting on an internal HTTP server that might itself have vulnerabilities (and stereotypically you have to give PHPMyAdmin database root or equivelant to work well).

Custom is popular because most people don't want raw database access. They want access to manipulate organisational data itself rather than the table schema, database user security, or database settings. Table schemas should be mostly static outside of development environments, production should have well tested, well scheduled schema updates, no single user should be sitting there with a database root user fiddling about by "hand." That's just asking for unrecoverable data loss or downtime.

Custom also allows you to tie access into your existing single sign on system, and do a few sanity checks on the changes users make.
Alcohol is actually fine on a low carb diet. Beer has carbs but Vodka, Rum, etc are totally fine.

In fact alcohol tends to have a greater effect on you when in ketosis so you even save some money when out drinking.
> "Systemd is defective by design."

The most succinct explanation of Systemd possible.
I've actually been to Russia, through Petersburg, all the way to Solovetsky island, spent around a month there. I'd say that sure, people are nice on a personal level, but some topics were off limits because it would end badly.
While i know that the russian military has issues with equipment that is literally falling apart, let's not kid ourselves the west doesn't have similar issues.
ICBM's don't need any contemporary electronics to be perfectly deadly.
And let's not forget that Russia right now is actively developing modern weapon systems perfectly capable of taking on anything the west has to offer, some of them are slated to be markedly better (For e.g. PAK FA, if they actually manage to produce it in meaningful numbers, makes the F-coat-hanger-abortion-35 completely irrelevant) And air power is disproportionally effective in conventional war.
So, my point is - if Russia literally goes bankrupt, it can no longer afford precision tools, asic chips, expertise, modern milling machines, exotic materials, etc.
This is not cold war, where you could literally hand solder computers. (Yes, I know no one put's 22nm chips in 5th gen planes, but the point still stands)
"You're left inventing workarounds such as your own namespace for loopbacks, or changing the service to also bind to, say, 127.1.1.1."

I don't understand this - you say you are "left with" an entire /8 that is universally recognized as the loopback ... what more could you want ?

I am genuinely curious - what is the utility of having lots of different network address ranges to define as the loopback ?
No reason it couldn't be both, I suppose.

>Amazon doesn't need to compete directly with UPS and Fedex to win.

Taking some of the deliveries allows Amazon to threaten to take more (or all) of them and pressures UPS and FedEx into keeping down the rates they charge Amazon.
>One house had a living area that was Post-It Note yellow from floor to ceiling, unbroken and undifferentiated.

When I looked at houses an alarming number of them (including the one we bought) were painted this way! I cannot imagine the rationale behind that, it looks absolutely awful. Another troubling (to me) trend is cheap looking wall stickers. So yeah, beige must be out now!... That doesn't mean its replaced with better.

Bold colors are hard to do right (I am not artsy) so I don't try too hard making things unique. Neutral is fine with me (which includes beige). I also absolutely detest decorations, they are nothing but clutter to me. If it doesn't serve a functional purpose I want it out of my house.
Each of these will get you an extra month of Prime if you complain to Amazon.
If you look at the rendering of the device in the video [1], I think it's pretty clear what they are doing. The device has a projector at the bottom that projects onto 10 angled surfaces that scatter the light in all directions. One row of pixels in the projector maps onto one row in one of the layers (or maybe they use the display columns, which makes more sense resolution wise). You can even see the angle of the surfaces in the image.

It seems like it is quite fashionable to hate on systemd, and it seems like systemd is kindof a piece of crap - in some ways.

However, linux is missing basic functionality other os's offer, and systemd is showing up and trying to fill in those blanks. This is open source, if you don't like systemd, if you think it's crap, if you think there are obviously better ways to do it, well, what are you waiting for then?

Systemd is winning because they showed up and basically nobody else did. It's open source fork it and 'do it right'. Or point out the problems and hope that someone else will step up instead?

I think the world would better place if people spent less time griping and more time fighting to get their patch that fixes the problems merged. I guess coding is harder than writing blog posts though.

EDIT: I'm not saying systemd is perfect or even good. My point is that the people writing the code are going to have the final say, whether it's right or wrong, and it is unlikely that people writing blog posts lampooning it are really going to make a difference. I mean systemd has been despised and highly criticized from the beginning, and look where we are.

There's a small company in Austin, Zebra Imaging, which generates CG holograms on big pieces of photographic film.[1] Those are real holograms. The military buys them as 3D models in a flat, portable form, and they're sometimes used in place of architectural models. Some people still take photographic holograms using a big flash laser. (This was a thing about 40 years ago. One guy still does it.) Almost everything else called a "hologram" is about as fake as a "hoverboard".

Someday someone may make a display with light-wavelength-scale resolution and display real holograms in real time, but that hasn't been done yet.

For me it would be compared to just black coffee and no breakfast, so of course it would be additional calories if I force myself to drink coffee with butter in it.
Furthermore, you have to install their entire app to use TOTP. Their app includes everything but the kitchen sink, and murders phone batteries even when in the background. On top of this, I don't see a point in installing apps if the functionality is also provided by their website. If I'm using my phone for 2FA, I'd like my phone to be secure, and I trust the security of my phone with just Chrome on it more than I trust my phone with Chrome and a million other apps.

> Chrome ends the listener after a given amount of time, so you'll need to hook into the end event to restart the speech listener

Which will burn up your battery on a mobile device. Chrome implements this by piping your audio stream to their servers. Not saying it should be avoided completely, just that you should know this going in.

Also, it is not enabled by default in Firefox, you have to enable it in about:config, which means you certainly can't count on it as a public user-facing feature. It's not implemented in any other browsers, as far as I'm aware.

The tricky part is that it isn't clear what "balanced" means. Our bodies can survive on vastly different allocations of the three macronutrients. Carbohydrates are not required at all to my knowledge, while some amino acids and fatty acids are essential and cannot be synthesized from other foodstuffs.

Its possible to get most of your calories from carbohydrates, protein, or fat. The question is what is the right balance for optimum health? How much does this value change across different people (and possibly at different stages of life)? If you have epilepsy then a ketogenic diet might well be best. How about for other people?

What macronutient profile is "balanced"? What do you even base it on? Should it be 33% of each? Should we eat protein and fat in just a little in excess of what we need (to get the essential fatty acids and amino acids) and get the rest from carbohydrates? I don't think we have clear answers to those questions yet. Although, I think we have ruled out some diets as unhealthy (e.g. eating a lot of refined carbohydrates can cause diabetes). Since eating too many refined carbohydrates is bad does that rule them out as a primary calorie source? Probably not, but we need more research.

Personal Note: I've eaten a low carb, high fat, moderate protein diet for about 4 years. All my blood markers (cholesterol, triglycerides, etc) have improved significantly over that time period. Additionally, I used to get incredibly hungry all the time and feel bad if a meal was delayed. Now I can go much longer without eating and still feel well.

And there is an aspect to that ability that I know people don't like.

The ability to collapse means you feel less bad about somewhat-off-topic conversation, which in a way can create worse discussion for the actual topic.

But at the same time some of my favorite HN threads have been offshoots of the submission's topic.
This is something that a lot of people don't understand about shipping and especially the U.S. mail. Deliveries to dense areas are fast and easy and near shipping routes and warehouses. They subsidize everyone else.

For the USPS, they have to provide a bunch of flat rate services to everyone in the country. Amazon doesn't. All of their shipping innovations are going to be aimed at making it cheaper and easier for people in denser areas to get deliveries. I don't have an issue with this, because if people live far from civilization, they don't get to demand all of the latest parts of it, but it is something to keep in mind with all of this.

And if Amazon can peel off the cheapest customers from UPS and FedEx, that's going to raise the rates for all of the remaining UPS and FedEx customers.

I've never had any issues at all while on warrior diet. On the flip side, because I didn't do enough research, my first keto experience was rough.

IMO, warrior is like intermittent fasting. This is just me personally but I often use coffee to quiet down any feelings of hunger. Though for the most part once you get over the initial discomfort associated with diet change I don't even get hungry until evening hours.

With all of these, supplementing with vitamins is key. I don't think my body misses the calories but it probably does miss some vitamins so I would recommend taking a multivitamin even if every other day.

I worked at a larger bank that used rot13 to encrypt the RW passwords for the internal databases it connected to. Since risk management in this case included mortgage and credit card systems, it would have disastrous if there was any sort of compromise.

It could just cause them to not accept any amazon packages.
The last time I played with it was 2 years ago. I'd love to use it, but it's a resource hog in Chrome, Firefox doesn't enable it by default, and the other browsers don't implement it at all. Seems to be a bit of a chicken-or-egg problem with browser vendors not putting effort into over no apparent developer interest.
> "Systemd is winning because they showed up and basically nobody else did"

I can't see how you would qualify this statement, which is utterly false. Specifically, systemd adoption was the result of political pressure by LP (the author), who works at Red Hat. There are plenty of other choices out there. The idea that systemd won because of some kind of meritocracy is wrong. It was mostly political with some technical discussion at the edges. Most people "making the decision" actually just outsourced their critical thinking to the Debian Technical Committee. That's how we ended up with most distros adopting systemd. Systemd is better than sysvinit (for some values of "better"), and that is what the Debian TC voted on, and what caused them to adopt systemd. Not that systemd is better than other, more modern init systems.

Land of the Pi People: England’s Bold Attempt to Revive Its Tech Industry
I'm using Guile for a simple web interface to a scientific pipeline. Users upload a file, which is queued up in Redis, processed by a worker which spawns the pipeline.

It's nice to be able to use a flexible and simple language like Scheme for tools like this. The HTML documents are written in SXML, so it's all S-expressions.

(I'm not a fan of Python, the obvious alternative for things like this.)
I get somewhat weary when I hear somebody say that "Linux is a failure on x because..."

Anyway, where did you get that definition? It is the view of the Linux Zealot. To say that it some sort of general definition is just silly.

You also seem to think that if an operating system is free (as in cost?) people would automatically go for it. That is simply false.

In any case I think Linux will outlive Windows. Windows is pinned on one single player and Linux is has reach over many.
One easy way to see this: if d is a factor of n, then n/d is a factor of n (since d divides n evenly). So, for any integer, we have pairs of factors (d and n/d) and thus an even number of factors, except in the case when d and n/d are the same.

When are they the same? When d = n/d, or d^2 = n (n is a perfect square). Therefore, only perfect squares have an odd number of factors (2 * the number of pairs of factors + 1).
What are the other choices? Upstart was awful, and init is a hundred years old.
Yeah the point here is that when you blend the butter it turns from oily sludge into an actual fluffy cap of foam.
> It seems like so many "best practices" are really thinly veiled attempts at exploding complexity

I'll bite. :D

It's a bit more nuanced than that IMO, the "deploy often" mantra is only as good as the process around release + deploy. If you half-ass testing and push to production without without a process for verification -- or if, say, your deploy process is half-baked, or your staging environment is worthless -- you can probably expect "interesting" production deploys on a pretty regular basis.

As much as we'd like to pretend we're all good engineers, this happens more often than you'd expect -- even with good engineers: at some point a company transitions from scrappy startup to a shambling beast, and the things that used to work for a scrappy startup (like skimping on testing and dealing with failures in production) are insufficient when you've got more eyes on the product. Further, the engineering culture remains stuck in "scrappy startup" mode long after the shambling has begun.

And all that's ignoring the fact that less frequent deploys with more changes have their own set of problems. We actually got to a point with deploys of a certain distributed system such that we were terrified if we had more than a few days worth of changes queued up. So many things that could go wrong! :)

> We create ourselves so many of the problems we are paid to solve.

This, on the other hand, I completely 100% agree with: if not us, then who? :)

Here the existing courier services won't leave the package with the neighbour or in front of the door even if you ask. The law is such that if they did that (left a package without it being signed off by someone whose name is on that address) I could just make a complaint about it and they would be forced to reimburse me even if in reality I got the package. Because of this all the courier services will call you before they try to deliver anything (most have some kind of automated SMS system in addition which you can use to choose from a few delivery times or redirect the package to another address/work) so that they don't have to make extra trips.

Nordic socialist consumer protection laws are nice :)
> "...love to see the price of oil rise so they can expand their production of oil that's more expensive to produce"

Yeah, it's a weird dynamic. For example, the higher the price of oil, the less dependent the US is on the rest of the world. Lots of oil in that $60-$80+ range in and around the US.
Yes, we saw people switch to more efficient transport in the US at $4/gallon. I think this is the long term ceiling, where people will switch to at least a plugin hybrid and cover 90% of their driving on electricity.
That's what always gets me when I watch these "House Hunters" type shows. People will hem and haw over what color the walls are painted, or what style of curtains are hung up, or the light fixtures, or a hundred other tiny details that they could change out in a weekend after they move in, rather than things like the layout, the property itself, or the construction, which are things that you either can't fix, or are prohibitively expensive to change.

Major energy sources and percent share of total U.S. electricity generation in 2015

Coal = 33%
Natural gas = 33%
Nuclear = 20%
Hydropower = 6%
Other renewables = 7%
Biomass = 1.6%
Geothermal = 0.4%
Solar = 0.6%
Wind = 4.7%
Petroleum = 1%
Other gases = <1%

An electric fleet (powered by coal, natural gas, and nuclear) will reduce demand for oil, so movement in that direction is likely cause falling oil prices. Which could lead to more people buying oil-powered cars again.
Rather than just the housing market, I think it's evidence that people are wildly irrational.

Of course, if many people are frequently wildly irrational you have to start either questioning what rationality is or being worried about the general ability of people to make rational decisions...
