I have a home made solution for personal disaster recovery, which is 30€/month in Hetzner (2TB storage, no bandwidth limit) + 6€/month in OVH (same capacity, less CPU and ram, but same storage/bandwidth conditions)...

For me the difference, is not only in the price, but in who has "root access" over the data. Remote backups in third party storage, by definition, should be encrypted. Using rsync almost implies that the remote will be unencrypted (or efficiency will be lost). But we're in the age of "Virtual PRIVATE network THIRD PARTY services" nonsense... so it's hard that nowadays operators understand those principles.

> What you're seeing is a backlash to the way GANTT charts have been misapplied to projects that are less well defined, and to managers that ask for estimates and then are unpleasantly surprised when an estimate isn't entirely accurate.

You think I don't know this?

I think you missed the point :(

(As an aside, in my experience, network diagrams and user-story maps pale in comparison to Gantt charts, as they do not effectively communicate timeline expectations IMO.)
Thank you very much for the answer!

So the pens that Whynote sells are just branded Staedtler 305, is that right? Not having to ship the pens from abroad and being able to buy them locally would sell the product for me.
Because DX12 gives you support for 2 out of the 3 major AAA platforms.
Sony seems to have no inclination of supporting Vulcan as a native API for the PS4/PS4pro.

Vulkan is also not Mantle, it's similar to the original Spec which was written by Johan Andersson from DICE.
AMD did give Khronos the spec but there isn't some shared code implementation for Vulkan that is based on Mantle, there isn't a common shared library in general as the implementation for each IHV/System is proprietary.

Vulkan is still a camel, not as much as OpenGL but a camel nonetheless, it's currently quite behind DX as far as featureset goes and Vulkan Next which would add needed features such as mGPU support seems lag into late 2017.

Vulkan is a good alternative but it already shows some signs of getting it self into the same position that OpenGL found it self.

It's also worth noting that DX12 development has nothing to do with Mantle, it's a continuation of the Xbox 360 API and effectively the mature version of the API developed for the Xbox One.

You probably don't want to use Glacier for personal backups if there is a decent chance you need a significant restore, or want it quicker than hours.

> Software workers are among lowest class of people in society

Only in the very general sense of being part of the class of "workers" rather than those who live off capital. Which puts you on the same rung as rather a lot of people.

I'd say the people on zero-hour or unpredictable schedules are treated as the lowest rung of workers: extreme economic uncertainty. If you don't know how many hours you're going to work, you can't know if you'll make rent at the end of the month. If you don't know when you'll work, you can't make other plans.

The people who are really treated as the lowest class are those unable to work, who are forever under suspicion.
The main problems I find with hashers are:

* No way to change password without storing things

* No way to handle site-specific rules without storing things

* No way to store auxiliary data (URLs, usernames, etc.)

* No way to see which sites you have accounts on
Important bit to point out:

> - filesystem snapshots are disabled since you'll be doing versioning and retention with attic or borg.

So this means you actually aren't protected from someone taking over your backup server and running rm -rf * on your rsync account.

The new thinkpad keyboards are absolutely shitty. I am happy that more people are complaining about it. The classic thinkpad keyboard had nice ergonomic aspects. You can touch-type the function keys without looking down, because they are all grouped in four. The arrow keys are proper sized buttons (even the macbook has it wrong). There is a slight curvature on each key's surface that makes it easy for the finger to feel the borders. All of these are missing in the new keyboards. This chiclet design is the worst thing to happen for the thinkpads.
I really liked the fluid looking UI, the bulb-like window control buttons and the nice glass effects. Modern macOS GUI is not that interesting or nice to work with.

There might be tariffs, and there might be concerns about moving data between the EU and a non-EU country.

I completely disagree. I was a software engineer, and I started a business alone, with no capital. It was pretty easy and I can't imagine how a business or HR person could have anywhere near the leverage I had by just knowing how to automate computers.

Will Ad Blocking Break the Internet?
The state of the phone is not synced in iCloud, its backed up into iCloud, which is not the same thing. That means if you have multiple phones, once you install a phone from another's phone backup you will have two diverging states.

Various features like "auto install apps I installed on other devices" want to hide this away, but they fail. For example, they will install apps I installed on another device, but they won't install them in the same position on the screen (something very important for me), and they won't delete it.

Also many apps, including apps made by Apple, do not use iCloud to store their settings and data, or use it inconsistently (e.g. only for data, but not for settings). One spectacular example is the messaging app, which doesn't show SMSs received on all devices (although it shows SMSs received on other devices before I made the backup, making it even more confusing). Of course, the messaging app shows iMessages. So some messages work, but others don't.

Any other possibile solution? I was thinking of Glacier just beacuse of the RAW camera files I want to backup. I've them in two external HD, I don't access them a lot, so I was thinking of keeping just 1 HD and put the rest in glacier. If it takes 24h to get them back is not a big deal for me.

I don't see any justification though for why humans need to do the labor. This guy found a nice pollination technique. Great, teach it to the robots or spend time teaching the robots how to analyze different techniques for effectiveness.

Humans are not great at farming, that's why we have entire industries producing tools to help them do better. It's silly to think that riding around in a tractor all day is a better long term solution than checking up on a robot doing it.

As roddux mentioned I'm talking about KeePass (the one at http://www.keepass.info)
Bukowski the postal worker was offered a basic income and he took it, and in the process became Bukowski the writer.

Currently in France there is a big debate about a universal, unconditional basic income, that one of the candidates to the left primaries defends, against the mockery and outrage of everyone else, right, left and center. (He arrived first at the first round with 35% of the vote, and looks like he will win next week, so all is not lost).

Still, it's surprising that so many people are against this idea. They're not just saying it's impractical, impossible, too expensive, etc. (although they are saying that as well) -- they're opposed to it on principle. But what principle?

For lack of a better explanation and at the risk of being polemical, I think the reason is, people hate other people's freedom.

People want other people to be not free, even at the cost of their own freedom. Thinking that we could actually be able to choose a life without work or bosses or a schedule drives many people mad.

> $100/mo gas is ~1600 miles/month. That's 20,000 miles/year. Where are you commuting from? The moon?

UK example here. During the course of my work career I have driven 700,000 miles, which is to the moon, back to the Earth, and most of the way back to the moon again. Or about 28 laps of the equator.

I live in a semi-rural village 65 miles from my place of work (a town about an hour away from central London) and visit clients scattered around the south west of England. Several of my colleagues live 30 to 40 miles from our main site, but far enough from me that we can't car-pool. This pattern of commuting is quite common in the UK for people living outside major cities with approx 3.7m workers having a commute of two hours [1] (including trains as well as cars).

By the way, I am really bored with the M3 motorway.

Aside: not to be that guy, but the article says "unexpected"; the word "unintended" (or anything related to intention) isn't used in the article at all. At least not explicitly.

Just mentioning it as a bit of "expectation management" for what the article is about, since there's overlap between consequences one doesn't anticipate and consequences that are unintentional, but it's not quite the same thing.
With an attitude like that, are you surprised? How about trying to bring it back up or offer some constructive criticism? Alternatively, you can just leave ...

Read about passopolis (https://passopolis.com/) here on HN. It is a fork of mitro, a former lastpass competitor.

A quick google search also turns up Passbolt (https://www.passbolt.com/).

Ask HN: Good open source hardware project to learn from and contribute to?
I'm willing to learn VHDL or Verilog/SystemVerilog and searching for a project to learn from and later to contribute to. There are almost no projects on GitHub. So are there actually any active and contributor-friendly hardware project?

Also what should be motivation in choice between VHDL, Verilog and SystemVerilog? Are there any recommended books?
Glacier is meant as an archive - put stuff in, read just very little bits back. Reading everything/significant parts back costs extra.

But if you're using it as an archive, and not so much as a backup (which for me implies restore), then it might make sense for you. There is a simplified calculator here: http://liangzan.net/aws-glacier-calculator/
And then we would only have a fraction of the current tools and innovations, because we would all waste an enormous amount of time doing tedious memory and resource management.

While modern tools and frameworks may sometimes feel bloated, they allow us to develop and iterate fast. I know I would've finished less projects if I had to be programming with performance and size in mind. For a lot of projects it just doesn't matter that much. It's more important that the job gets done.
The nice thing about Ggnuplot is that it's extremely easy to connect it with anything, since it's basically its own language. Python has made a lot of inroads into the scientifc computing field but it's by no means the only one. This is a field where twenty year-old Fortran libraries are still relevant.

SVN also has the important advantage of being relatively easy to pick up by someone who's not a programmer. It would not be my first choice for a version control system now that we have Mercurial and git (frankly, it wasn't not even back when our only affordable alternatives were CVS and RCS), but it's very easy to teach it.
Yes, the data retrieval fee for infrequent access is $0.01/GB so a 1TB restore would cost me $10.

Thankfully I’ve not had to perform a complete restore, though I do regular test restores of a part of the backup just to make sure it’s all still working.

Edit: It’s actually $100 (as transfer from S3->Internet adds $0.09/GB)

All that doesn't change that fact, that some hardware can push more frames at higher resolution. No matter how fixed the target of console is, you can't leap beyond hardware limits there.

The "why" is extensively covered in the article.
It's still useful as a rhetorical tool against enforcement. If someone gets imprisoned for saying "no comment" and refusing to actively lie, that would hopefully cause an enormous outrage.
Did you RTFA ? They build servers in Eastern Europe and then ship them to UK datacentres. If tariffs come in, they would have to spend quite a bit more. As you correctly point out, a networked server is a networked server and will be reachable no matter what, so might as well drop it in Frankfurt or Amsterdam and save on the tariff.

This is in addition to the legislative issues about handling EU data, which may or may not be side-stepped by UK keeping all laws on the matter. But considering we'll badly need a free-trade agreement with the US right after we leave, that's likely one of the areas where the Americans will ask us to drop shields...

This puts Labour in a very difficult position. The bill will, of course, carry. But this will expose the wide gulf between the Labour leadership and its traditional white working class base (who were overwhelmingly leave) as it tries to straddle two stools and fails.

I expect the Prime Minister is quietly allowing herself a wry smile as she realises what a powerful weapon to beat the opposition with she has been handed by the court.

Be under no illusions, although the bill will pass, this could do serious damage to the opposition in the process, as Labour MPs decide whether to vote against their hearts and frustrate the democratic will of their constituents or prefer to ensure their career prospects.

Around 70% of Labour MPs are in seats where leave was a majority, but most Labour MPs are urban liberal types who want to remain and will be viewed as traitors by the Twitterati and Guardian set if they side with their constituents.
