You are right, that's also an issue in my mind. A small, energetic and noisy dog wouldn't be a proper pet for an apartment as well.

Then again, it's exactly why I feel safer getting a breed dog that fits the basic requisites. In my parents home - that is quite big and with a lot of open space - we've got a mutt and we were very happy with him, but we didn't really have any constrains about how he would turn out to be as an adult.
Why would they go multi-cloud? ( I'm asking because even very large infrastructure don't use 2 providers )

From a management / ops perspective it's a nightmare to manage and imo adds more problems than it solves.

Vim is great, but hard out of box. That's why I'd like to mention couple community distributions to make it even better:

• http://vim.spf13.com this distribution is remarkable! Extremely well documented vimrc file is a great source of knowlege by itself https://github.com/spf13/spf13-vim/blob/3.0/.vimrc

• https://github.com/carlhuda/janus

Also, it worth to mention

Give it a try. You can't send requests to `localhost` or `127.0.0.1` at all.

AppService is largely useless for IPC between UWP and Win32 since the UWP app can't initiate a request to the Win32 app.

Another thing you can't do, which is really annoying: UWP won't let your code start an external process and use standard i/o pipes to communicate with it.

The only possibility is to use files for IPC and you'd have to have your Win32 app listen for changes in the file or directory, then open it up and read the data. However UWP can't listen for changes in those same files, so it's a real PITA.

Ask HN: How to be a better technical writer?
Most devs around here likely write "docs and other forms of documentation" (eg. READMEs, guides, manuals), and so do I, but over the last couple weeks I wondered how to get better at doing it - writing clearer, easier to understand documentation.

Pointers, be it tutorials, guides or books, would be very much appreciated.

They're arguing that you shouldn't buy a pug as at the moment because a large proportion of the population of pugs will suffer terrible health problems

That you had a single individual that you believe did not suffer from the issues related to extreme brachycephaly doesn't really tell us much.

The problems are only partly related to inbreeding - selecting for dogs with such squashed heads is bad in and of itself.

I work on Firebase now, though not the DB team anymore. I'd love more data on how the DB is being outperformed if you're willing to share. Was it write throughout? Read throughout? Latency? Were you using small or large object sizes? Were indexes and ACLs used in both cases? Are you sure your firebase layout used best practices? Have you run the test lately to verify whether the findings are still true?
I had English cockers growing up. Check out rage syndrome [0]. I only first heard about it a couple of years ago and it very accurately describes the behavior I saw in our dogs. FWIW, not all of our dogs were from the same breeder.

That's exactly what would stabilize it instead of it having the wild multi-hundred dollar swing it's experienced essentially since inception. It's the wild hashing power China currently holds right now that's giving it the dominant influence over the currency. Reduce the dominance, spread the risk, stabilize the currency.

Interestingly however, Linux distros have been quick to adopt i686. I remember setting up a router on a small PC with a VIA processor several years ago. Inserted a Debian hard drive into that box — "cmov instruction not supported" instead of booting. The i586 version existed of course, but wasn't the default download IIRC.
You'd probably also have a hard time wrapping your head around their traffic and usage.
Not all pure bred dogs have health problems. If you take the time to find a breeder who cares about the dogs more than money then you can find dogs that are healthy and well cared for. This takes effort though and research.

>Problem solved, no money spent, best of both worlds.

Many new problems:

* Gamepad costs roughly 70% the cost of any entire 4k/HDR Roku setup. A first party game pad costs $50-65 dollars, while a HD Roku costs $80.

* A gamepad is VASTLY INFERIOR to a remote. This one is very easy. Gamepads are crappy, crappy remotes. The back triggers (L2 R2) are stupidly mapped to seeking causing endless fastfoward/rewind triggering by mistake. The buttons are unintelligble (what does a Square do to my movie? What does Y do to my TV show?) and are only usable by basically the 1 geek who set it up and is unusable by all other users who have to learn custom button mappings per application

* Kodi is vastly inferior to Roku for average use, like Netflix. Users must use unsupported, buggy third party non-Netflix based Netflix add-ons which are inferior in every way to an officially distributed Netflix app. At this point, the best solution is the PAID "PlayOn" subscription service, meaning the user must pay monthly just to access basic apps like Netflix which are free monthly on Roku (outside of the actual subscription, which both methods require)

I'm sorry but Kodi is pretty crap as a home media solution, have you ever relied on it for your full library and media consumption and watched it be used by the less tech-focused people in your home? Regular users, children, elderly people?

Roku is easy for my grandfather to use. Kodi + a Xbox1 controller? Not so much

My family trains and breeds hunting retrievers as a hobby. Hip displaysia, heart disease and eye disorders run rampant in the breed, particularly in show lines where the dogs are expected to be pretty and not be particularly athletic. Organizations like the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (http://ofa.org/) maintain public databases of genetic clearances for dogs in the effort to combat these problems.

If you want a purebred, adopt a rescue or buy one from a breeder that properly runs genetic clearances.

Part of the point of the article...
I think that, for technical writing which is the majority of the articles read/written by the HN crowd, _Plain Words_ is a better lead to follow.
The Google Datastore is built on Megastore. Megastore's data model is based on entity groups, that represent fine-grained, application-defined partitions (e.g. a user's message inbox). Transactions are supported per co-located entity group, each of which is mapped to a single row in BigTable that offers row-level atomicity. Transactions spanning multiple entity groups are not encouraged, as they require expensive two-phase commits. Megastore uses synchronous wide area replication. The replication protocol is based on Paxos consensus over positions in a shared write-ahead log.

The reason for the Datastore only allowing very limited queries is that they seek to target each query to an entity group in order to be efficient. Queries using the entity group are fast, auto-indexed and consistent. Global indexes, on the other hand, are explicitly defined and only eventually consistent (similar to DynamoDB). Any query on unindexed properties simply returns empty results and each query can only have one inequality condition [1].

I support their views on free speech, but as a matter of conscience, principle, and (more cynically) optics, they should donate all proceeds they make off of Breitbart or neo-nazi orders to civil liberties/rights organisations like the ACLU (which they mention in their post).
It's not like they don't have the option to build it themselves in the future. This provides a lot of flexibility with very little liabilty to get their platform massive.

Besides they aren't like Facebook where they will grow their hardware slowly as they ramp up, Snapchat is already incredibly popular. It would be a massive undertaking to move everything to the data center. The experts who are good at that kind of thing are all already gainfully employed.
I think remote is better than open office floor plans in many cases. It just have different problems.
I think people underestimate just how far a properly-configured RDMS can scale. A machine with a couple CPUs and a few hundred gigs of memory can do a lot. Couple that with some tastefully-applied caching and query from a read replica when you can tolerate stale data... You can scale pretty far.

I think that's a stretch. 90% of programming is repetitive if you compare different projects. Also, I didn't mention ML/AI.
Fair point. I'm just quibbling about where "decent" begins, and adding in the point about ease of upgrades. Replacing a GPU is pretty easy. Replacing a motherboard because you don't have enough PCIe slots will require tearing down the majority of the machine and rebuilding it.

The latter is more likely to happen if you start down this path at rock bottom prices.

> The real value of good code is way, way less than developers would like to believe

Soooo much this.

But it's also important to note the difference between code and system design. The vast majority of code that's written is solving problems where system design doesn't tend to make a huge amount of difference.

It's only when you get to a certain scale and/or in certain domains that the system design starts to matter, and even there, the code itself is of little import.

> I love Windows but I seriously will not touch UWP until they loosen up the sandbox restrictions so that I can do regular IPC with a win32 desktop app.

The whole reason for the UWP sandboxing is to make it so that users can confidently install UWP applications with some assurances that it isn't spyware/malware/blackmailware that will take over their PC or steal their personal information.

UWP is Microsoft's answer to years of criticism they received for the way process permissions work on Windows. They aren't going to just dump it all because you and a few others find the priviledge model inconvenient.

> You can't even send an HTTP request to a little node.js Web server running on your desktop right now.

If your node.js web server was network accessible you could. But, no, it won't allow unchecked IPC as that directly defeats the whole point of sandboxing to begin with.

Personally I haven't used UWP much either, but that has nothing to do with sandboxing and everything to do with poor performance and UI issues (e.g. window controls, built in UI elements, etc). I still find the Windows 10 UWP Calculator horrible to use, it was a MASSIVE downgrade over the old one.

I think this might the most reasonable stance I've read. I'm surprised the executive team didn't come up with something similar already.
You know, when a guy who employed Edward Snowden is allowed to steal classified data for 20 years (even after Snowden's revelations), then I think we all should reassess our view of the No-Such-Agency as an all-powerful entity.

Clearly, they are plagued by the same bureaucracy hurdles and lack of attention to human resource detail as every other governmental agency.

Things might not be so bad after all.
I don't think that is what the article is saying. We can look at it as essentially there is a set of desires which have a genetic/environmental factor (hormones you are exposed to in utero for example). Then there is a society around you that shapes how you act on those desires. So taking a hypothetical person and transplanting them to different cultures will change how they express/act on their desires. If you take someone who identifies as a homosexual today and brings them to Victorian England they wouldn't identify as homosexual but might, as the son in this example wonder if they had the soul of a woman. In the same fashion if we took someone who identified as straight today and raised them into ancient Greece they would probably engage in behavior we would think of as homosexual because it was the standard part of the culture at the time.

Only downside is, once you get used to it, you just can't go back ;-)
This is a false equivalence. Parents of children can't choose their genetic traits. Pet owners have the choice of what breed to adopt.
If they want to prove it's about principles over profit, they could donate profits from the Breitbart account to the ACLU. Until they do that, they are allowed to work with whomever they like, but they can't take the moral high ground.

The root cause was a system that allowed a potentially incompetent employee to indiscriminately close bank accounts without at least a date of birth or social security number confirmation. It's a problem that could have been prevented with a four to eight digit input field and an if statement.
