First use Duolingo to learn Italian. Then start buying copies of books from the Loeb Classical Library and read the Latin and English text. Then read the Latin, noting the words you can't recognise and study them. Then read the Latin again. Once you can read one book buy another one. You will not learn to write Latin this way but you will end up able to read it.

Or you could try these. I vouch for none of the below free websites. The time investment needed to learn a language is insane and textbooks are cheap, especially secondhand.

I can relate to that. I run websites myself and it's surprising how many users you need to make a living.

Your $5 per 70k views would be $0.07 per 1000 views. Are those 70k views the number that adsense shows you or the number that Analytics shows you? Because that is a huge difference. Adsense views do not include users with ad blockers. On my sites, 66% of the users use ad blockers.

From what I read, you run something like a forum? Is the traffic is mostly returning visitors?

The situation is not immune to change. E.g. the election of Trump, and more specifically the executive order he passed calling for the stripping of any expectation of privacy for all foreigners may spur europeans to action.

At least currently, there seems to be a trend in the EU pleading to shield ourselves from US interference, and the tech cos are probably the obvious first target.

My "favorite" Clearcase server issue was one that took 2 weeks of uptime before it resulted in a crash on a up-to-date AIX installation. I had to wait until we had somewhat identified the timeline before engaging our ops team so they could log the crash and submit it back to IBM so they could investigate/fix
Clever, but I swear the pieces rotate the wrong way compared to Tetris on the gameboy.
This is a nice Tetris implementation even ignoring the technology used. The shake effect when you drop a piece is particularly satisfying!
You can always simulate gates with memory. And by adding feedback, you can build memory with gates. Which means you can simulate non-fed-back gates with fed-back gates.

They did. Right before access was cut, a code was watermarked on the TV, I assume it was per-box as a number so they knew who it was to cut access to.
There are often 4 parties involved in online advertising.

- Those pushing a product whom have a deal with advertisers.

- The advertisers who have a deal with both the companies selling products and web pages selling space for ads.

- Web pages which have a deal with advertisers.

- Users who have little obligations to anyone and less loyalty.

Advertisers, web pages, and sellers have confused the fact that their business model depends on someone who is not only disinterested in their arrangement but actively hostile to it with an unwritten pact. This is especially surprising when it becomes clear that their acts and ends are ultimately hostile to the user.

Its not only unwritten its wholly and entirely imaginary. Adapt or die the current state of the web and the crap on it is ultimately going to end with 70-90% of users using adblock.
Nonsense. All you said is nonsense.

> If you believe the human experience before modern technology and economics was good enough

No rational person can take what I originally said and twist it to sound like this.

> Yes, many people lived and died in an era when there was no time for economic activity beyond extracting dinner from local fauna or the land.

Learn history. Art is older, if not as old as agriculture.

> The process by which they first learned about and acquired farm implements, giving them the time to do other things, is called advertising.

Farm implements first had to be invented. They first invented them.

Everyone on this thread knows what is meant when the word Advertisement is used. It is not even close to what you are proposing.

What about climate change [1], and using less fossil fuels? We need the opposite - less first class, less business class seats, less private jets, to maximise the people who can travel per the same quantity of fuel. A typical passengers aircraft burns ~ 48 tons (!) of fuel to cross the Atlantic [2]. Part of the refugees issue happens exactly because of the warming and drought [3]

I honestly wish this was true but I doubt it. F# is different enough to have a big curve, and yet the benefits aren't immediately tangible, it's just a bunch of small things that add up - but try selling that to someone. Meanwhile mainstream languages are picking up features from it (eg. C# will eventually have record types and pattern matching). I think languages like this will influence the mainstream but I don't see them being mainstream in the future.

Can you elaborate on what it is that slows down your app performance? Is it bottle-necking on writing to the database? Does the database have read activity? Does the application slow down when there is read activity?

With some basic assumptions on my part including that you can have a delay in writing data to the database (since it's archival and analysis), but you don't want the application to be delayed, putting a fast queue like Kafka or RabbitMQ in place could help. It'll buffer when the database is under load, isolating your application from that.

Offline analysis might also skip the database entirely: columnar data formats (parquet) or log structured merge / sorted string tables (rocksdb) could work very well for archival or offline analysis in MR type environments.
Although it mirrors what the other parent comments are making, I wish there was more information readily available (or maybe it is, and I'm just not aware of where to look for it?) information about what real-world performance is like in different cases.

For example, in my job, since none of the frontend APIs need to handle that many requests at once, we're considering setting up a few node "frontend APIs" to lift application complexities from our JS single page app up one level. Stuff like having to hit multiple inconsistent APIs, dealing with formatting issues, etc. If you have a single API it seems much easier to deal with that, as well as expand it as time goes on. But due to lack of knowledge and experience, I don't have as much confidence with pushing this decision as I'd like. We'll obviously end up investing time and effort in performing benchmarks to make sure it meets our requirements first, but as since we're a startup that's not so large, we can't realistically afford to dump THAT much time into something that doesn't end up getting us some clear benefits.

A bit related to the topic... I know it's not exciting and sexy, but I wish more people wrote about larger non-trivial applications and how they end up tackling the challenges they encountered and details of the kinds of scales they handled. Both with respect to architecture and scaling. Maybe it's my lack of experience, but I find it really difficult to guess at how much money certain things will end up costing before doing a "close-to-real-world implementation".

Ask HN: How to learn Java EE?
I am a programmer for ~15 years, currently freelancing. Know Java SE, PHP MVC frameworks, Fortran, Swift etc. I'd like to learn Java EE since this is where the most profitable gigs are (and probably will be for some time). However, to me the environment looks complex as it evolved over many years, so I don't know where to start. Any tips for useful resources on how to get into the current state of the art? Ideally, a single book :-)
Norway institutions 'targeted by Russia-linked hackers'
They will still remain generally more painful and more exposed to their issues and choices:

* mutable by default

* OO by default

* null by default

* structural equality a pain to implement

* immutable types a pain to implement

* verbose syntax / failing at the DRY principle

* statement based rather than expression based

* large codebase following those idioms

I don't think they'll not remain popular, but I think a more important share of people will eventually "get it" that there are alternative approaches which are sound, same or greater potential to achieve and thriving eco-system.

They refer to it as "delta of delta", which implies the encoding handles things like acceleration and momentum. I'm guessing the healthcare data has much more of this sort of behavior than your typical server event time series.
Theoretically yes. One is stateful and the other is not, but you can always simulate one with the other.
Practically no. DRAM is built with capacitors as its storage elements. Each bit has no feedback and requires refresh, which makes it slow. But it only requires one transistor per bit, so it's cheap and every bit takes up very little physical space. Static RAM, OTOH, (registers and fast cache) is built out of flip-flops. It has feedback so it doesn't need refreshing and it's fast. But every bit requires 4 or more transistors, so it's physically large per bit and expensive.
You could try influxdb.

I think the main thing that can be done to help people with these issues is to reduce the stigma of mental illness. The idea that you are somehow responsible or shouldn't talk about those problems keeps people from getting the help they need. Unfortunately I do not know how this can be done.

The other thing is footprint of codebase, despite almost 15 years of using C#, after only two years, I consistently write F# which is 1/3 of equivalent C# code, writing idiomatic code that any F# developers would grasp.

There are ways a C# aficionado would take to try to not be so verbose, but those solutions won't be considered idiomatic by 99% of C# developers.

At the end of the day, codebase size matters a lot.

* Having someone that is able to listen and relate too is very important, especially someone you can build a relationship on that genuinely cares.

* Having a purpose. depression is sometimes based on the fact that the person has no purpose, no one to impress, no one that needs/appreciate the help they can give.

* Having a method where people can meet and build small common goals for the day/week in smaller groups (5 or less) would really help.

* Exercise, healthy eating and creativity.

* A job = some sort of purpose, so employment.

* Getting a routine.

* Sun/Vitamin D

* Building a positive and useful environment around themselves.

* Being part of something that has some meaning, like if they would not attend/be there it will not advance without them. This makes them important and the feeling of having a purpose to get out of bed.

* Anything that makes you laugh.
If you don't think customers matter, you're simply a bad investor, and you won't have any upside. (It really is that simple.)

This isn't a moral statement, just that you are unlikely to have upside. If you want to benefit schools, go ahead and donate, but becoming a stakeholder in a company that hates its customers and vice versa is unlikely to serve your stated goal, in my opinion.

Interesting, how so? I find it difficult to imagine any media site that, once they produced a piece of content, has to pay any other substantial cost as they get more views.

In other words: doubling up page views for the Guardian does not mean doubling up the costs of producing the articles. That's what I mean by "substantially zero variable cost".
I wanted a Bluetooth speaker. I sought out non-paid reviews by third parties (some of the being fellow consumers who had already bought the device), and then decided which speaker I thought would work best for me. I didn't make use of advertising in the process.
True, but also they can help a great deal and shouldn't be ruled out. Shouldn't be the automatic answer either.
I don't remember the exact figure, but the last episode of "Aviation Disasters" was on the Concorde, and mentioned that it burned a major amount of fuel just getting to the runway, and because the delta wing was very inefficient at low speeds, burned another big chunk of fuel just getting off the the ground.
The guys who spent money building on, say, the Colossus of Rhodos, on the development of scientific instruments and the pursuit of science itself, and generally, in every aspect of science and culture would beg to differ.

Besides, nobody is bashing advertising because it's advertising things. We're bashing that advertising activity that's based on lies and deceit -- you know, like the flashing neon signs that invite you to buy this pill that's gonna make you beautiful like the other girls and it's basically half a gram of sugar mixed with ten grams of Matcha tea, and the sort of dubious activity that it mixes up in this scheme, like user tracking and outright malware (remember Forbes' blunder?). And I'm not even going to get into the part where it advertises stuff like cigarettes (and I'm a smoker, I'd just rather not see this vice being frickin' advertised!). I have every intention to keep bashing this shitty industry until it grows a spine.

Amazon achieved dominant market share more or less legitimately. It wasn't done by merger. It was done competing with bigger competitors, including WalMart and Sears. (Sears should have been huge in online commerce. They were once the biggest name in mail order. They blew it.)

There's no public utility type monopoly with Amazon, compared to Comcast and AT&T, who have wires and poles. It wasn't done by selling at a heavy loss, like Uber. Amazon runs close to break-even, while building and operating expensive physical assets.

The author is arguing that the old pre-Chicago School antitrust theory should be revived to protect Amazon's suppliers. Yet WalMart is much more heavy-handed in that area. They continually squeeze suppliers to cut their prices. Amazon squeezed booksellers hard to get them to provide e-books, but outside of that, Amazon is usually content to let their suppliers set prices and let them compete with each other. Amazon doesn't have a shelf space constraint in the way that WalMart does.

There's a need for stronger antitrust enforcement in communications services and pharmaceuticals. They have real monopoly power. But Amazon? Probably not.
+1 for this!

I'd like to see a moratorium on space tourism too. That's unlikely to be a popular view on Hacker News though, and it's got zero chance of happening anyway.
You're right. But what I saw the computer do was repeat the same position thousands of times in an identical cycle of four moves. A decent AI should stop wasting its time and claim a draw at that point. So maybe this is also an AI strength issue rather than the platform recognizing a draw.

My cable provider also has a unique code which flashes on TV randomly. I could provide a photo or video of it if you are interested later when I reach home.
I work in a similar industry and many times content providers require you to implement a system for this kind of identification. It's nothing special technically, you just display a unique ID over the video on ALL client devices for a fraction of a second when a potential infringement is under way - just enough to get evidence that lets you later identify the user from the recording.
Sure, but the majority of companies in the world with IT department, don't have software as business, rather as a cost center for support their actual business.
