That may be true (although there are tax deductions for renting in some places). However, people own property in cities and rent outside of cities so I'm not sure how relevant it is to the subsidy comment.

(Which presumably is some variant of the oil/cars/roads claim because cities can apparently somehow exist in isolation of everything surrounding them.)

That's basically what it boils down too. Cowboy is more of a pain to configure update and manage so it's less of a choice of managing another piece of software vs choosing which one you want to manage. With Phoenix using Cowboy under the hood you'll never actually touch it.

At that point it just becomes a matter of "do I want to configure nginx or cowboy?"

If you have SSL at the load balancer and you're using a CDN for assets then it's less compelling. If you're looking to deploy a full encapsulated binary (server and all) then avoiding nginx makes sense.

That's basically it though.

There's a bit of medical jargon to describe this, but it's pretty antiquated: 'psychomotor retardation'. Definition from Wikipedia:

'Psychomotor retardation (also known as "psychomotor impairment" or "motormental retardation") involves a slowing-down of thought and a reduction of physical movements in an individual. Psychomotor retardation can cause a visible slowing of physical and emotional reactions, including speech and affect. This is most-commonly seen in people with major depression and in the depressed phase of bipolar disorder...'

This was/is my most prominent symptom. I once sat in a chair for three days straight (fortunately I had a glass of water within arm's reach), during a two-ish week period where I couldn't summon the motivation to leave my house. It was godawful.

I wonder if it's a vestigial evolutionary trait, particularly in the case of seasonal depression. It would make sense in some contexts: if you're a hunter-gather, resources are scarce during winter. Your chance of survival might therefore be higher if you expended as little energy as possible while waiting out the winter...

I think there are several useful points here:

1) It's rare to have enough insight into the internals of a particular datastore to accurately predict how it will perform on a particular workload. Whenever possible, early testing on production-scale workloads is essential for planning and proofs of concept.

2) Database capabilities are a moving target. E.g., the performance improvements to pgsql's LISTEN/NOTIFY are essential to its ability to handle this particular workload. In previous jobs, I've had coworkers cite failed experiences with 15-20 year-old databases as reasons for not considering them for new projects. Database tech has come a long way in that time.

3) Carefully-tuned RDBMSs are more capable than many tend to admit.

Man, the hype about that company truly has reached unreal proportions right now.
It depends on the laws and regulations of the relevant jurisdictions. If it's not illegal, then it shouldn't be restricted, IMO, but that's ultimately up to the bank in question.

Pragmatically speaking, if both are legal, then both provide a relatively safe return on any investment made; both are very big (and growing) industries, for better or worse.

> The workers should feel free to form a union -- this is a fundamental right.

I agree that people should have the right to band together in an organized way to increase negotiating power. What I have a problem with is when joining the union and paying dues becomes expected or even mandatory.

When I was in college, I worked a summer for a high-end grocery store as a part-time bagger. Nearly every day the assistant manager (the local union representative) would accost me to join the union and to pay union dues. As a part-time and temporary employee this made absolutely no sense for my situation and would only serve to modestly increase the bargaining power and coffers of the union.

In other situations paying dues to the union becomes mandatory under the legal concept of "fair share fees" where non-union members are required to pay into the bargaining costs of the union.

> If a majority of the public employees at a given site vote to be represented by a union, that union becomes the exclusive bargaining agent for the workers. In California, some 325,000 teachers in more than 1,000 school districts are represented by the California Teachers Association and, to a lesser extent, the California Federation of Teachers.

> Of those, 9 percent have not joined the union, but under California law, any union contract must cover them too, and so they are required to pay an amount that covers the costs of negotiating the contract and administering it. The idea is that they reap the bread-and-butter benefits covered by the contract — wages, leave policies, grievance procedures, etc. — so they should bear some of the cost of negotiating that contract.

Yes, but that is exactly why I think these types of articles and discussions are useful - people who understand what is going on often times assume that so do others, but for many people it all looks like magic.

How many people out there (genuine question here) assume the opposite of what you know / that they are ignorant of it? How many people do you think that when they hear "multithreaded" that they associate that with being faster?

Now assume the people who know there is overhead work to split up and divide the work across threads... because they have this knowledge, also "see everything as a nail because they have a hammer"? That sometimes the right solution is to simply run a single threaded operation, not parallelize everything?

I think there are interesting merits to all of that, even if it means "hyperbolic" articles or cliche not-realistic world tests. They challenge our thinking, our assumptions, our approach. And then separately, there should be articles/discussions on real-world tests and use cases.

No, you have to explicitly add the interface with the wg command, much like you have to explicitly run a command that starts a TUN/TAP VPN. And once those commands are run, both WireGuard and TUN/TAP interfaces look just like normal interfaces and can be managed using standard tools.

WireGuard could be implemented in user space and be just as easy to use and manage. The only benefit from running in kernel space is performance.

I think you're right about number 3. I have a friend who likes to do as much as possible with pgsql and I'm often surprised at how well it performs for the things he uses it for.
What's the difference between this and AWS' DynamoDB, or Aurora if you prefer RDBMS? A HTTP endpoint as the DB API? Seems like a lot of extra overhead, unless you're hosting a "client-only" webapp (which would previously have used Firebase, IIRC).

Also, this confuses me:

> FaunaDB can tolerate the loss of a minority of physical datacenters in a cluster without interruption. According to the CAP theorem, FaunaDB is a CP system.

CP means that consistency is favored over availability, yet "without interruption" tells me they favor availability over consistency during a partition.
The general advice is to roll forward, i.e. remediate the broken thing and deploy. Ideally, the broken deploy was ramping up a config flag and the fix is to turn it back off. (But that's another post.)

Rolling back mechanically is sometimes safe but not always safe, because you have data.
>but at the same time what Tesla is doing is much bigger than the individual.

Isn't this essentially the same line used by startups to lowball recent grads? It seems to me this board would know better.
He claimed that costs would outstrip our margins as we grew. I have to assume he just thinks this is how startups work, because most of the costs he specifically brought up don't actually exist in our market/business model. In any event, if you have an instinctively negative and suspicious reaction to profitability, then as a business person, I want nothing to do with you.
Seems pointless to me... on their conference calls they say that by 2018 no one will touch the cars... it will all be built by robots. the model 3 is designed with automated general assembly in mind (hence the big open roof).
But it's not like he wrote RethinkDB and then wrote Postgres with the benefit of hindsight. When he says that the big change was the database and not his own code, I believe him.

"Counterargument is contradiction plus reasoning and/or evidence. When aimed squarely at the original argument, it can be convincing."
However, if you look at their manufacturing approach at Gigafactory 1 and the incredible amount of automation there (machines building machines) it's clear they're treating the factory as a modular, scaleable product than a traditional manufacturing facility. I suspect they intend to do something similar with the Model III - design a product/production line with automation in mind from the ground-up. The barebones interior of the new vehicle comes to mind...
Cloud basically just means running software on other peoples' computers in a data center somewhere. Serverless is a subset of cloud. It's a way of building and deploying cloud apps.

Serverless implies a very high level of abstraction when interacting with cloud infrastructure. Traditionally app developers have consumed cloud infrastructure on the level of individual boxes running operating systems. Obviously these don't usually correspond to actual physical machines, but the OS box is the unit of abstraction presented to people running building and deploying cloud apps. Serverless apps are typically based on the "function" (one invocation of some small bit of logic) as the unit of consumption for cloud infrastructure - e.g AWS Lambda. They also typically embrace high-level abstractions for managing data - e.g. building against DynamoDB as opposed to your own Cassandra cluster running on EC2.

The term "serverless" is annoying as heck. I mean, sure, you're not fiddling with nginx configs, but you're even more tightly dependent on running in a cloud environment. It really should be "servermore".

Ring:General-purpose multi-paradigm language written in the C language
The Ring programming language (http://ring-lang.net) is an Innovative and practical general-purpose multi-paradigm scripting language that can be embedded in C/C++ projects, extended using C/C++ code and/or used as standalone language. The supported programming paradigms are Imperative, Procedural, Object-Oriented, Functional, Meta programming, Declarative programming using nested structures, and Natural programming. The language is portable (Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, Android, etc.) and can be used to create Console, GUI, Web, Games and Mobile applications. The language is designed to be Simple, Small, Flexible and Fast. Its Dynamic Language (Dynamic Typing and Weakly Typed) that compile the source code to byte code then execute it by the Ring Virtual Machine, which is integrated with the Ring Compiler in one program.

The language is simple, trying to be natural, encourage organization and comes with transparent and visual implementation. It comes with compact syntax and a group of features that enable the programmer to create natural interfaces and declarative domain-specific languages in a fraction of time. It is very small, fast and comes with smart garbage collector that puts the memory under the programmer control. It supports many programming paradigms, comes with useful and practical libraries. The language is designed for productivity and developing high quality solutions that can scale.

Ask HN: Info/Affiliate site and social: Will pre-built platforms hurt me?
If I was looking to create an informational website and potentially implement some affiliate links, and wanted to also build a community around it, would using a bunch of pre-built services do the job to get me off the ground quickly?

I was thinking either Squarespace or Wordpress for the initial setup, so I can start adding posts for content.
Then implement a Discourse forum or Slack chat and embed either of the option into the page.

I'm thinking custom development would stall the idea rather than help me get it running quickly. Have any of you done this type of thing before with pre-built products/platforms such as the ones listed above?
