>But I must confess that I am not afraid of the word "tension." I have earnestly opposed violent tension, but there is a type of constructive, nonviolent tension which is necessary for growth. Just as Socrates felt that it was necessary to create a tension in the mind so that individuals could rise from the bondage of myths and half truths to the unfettered realm of creative analysis and objective appraisal, so must we see the need for nonviolent gadflies to create the kind of tension in society that will help men rise from the dark depths of prejudice and racism to the majestic heights of understanding and brotherhood...
We merely bring to the surface the hidden tension that is already alive. We bring it out in the open, where it can be seen and dealt with. Like a boil that can never be cured so long as it is covered up but must be opened with all its ugliness to the natural medicines of air and light, injustice must be exposed, with all the tension its exposure creates, to the light of human conscience and the air of national opinion before it can be cured.

My site (zorinaq.com) runs distributed instances on 3 of the 5 mentioned providers: Digital Ocean, Vultr, and Scaleway.

I like Scaleway for their lowest price, and it's cool to have a barbone ARM server (which I chose over the x86-64 VPS) for 3€/mo.

I like Vultr because they accept Bitcoin payments.

But overall all 3 hosters are good and reliable in my experience.

Perhaps 1000 vs 1024?
In Norway a Golf costs $50k, a family sedan $80k and the most powerful 7-series can be $300k. This is because ICE vehicles have huge taxes in Norway.

A pure EV basically gets a 50% tax cut, which can be $100k if you were looking at a comparable ICE car to the Model S.

So in Norway the opposite is true "ICE vehicles are considerably more expensive".

You can also ask yourself this: what value you get for your money on a given budget if you buy a Golf at $50k which is half taxes, versus a Bolt at a similar price with almost none of it being tax? I'd choose the Bolt any day.

Obviously none of this translates to anywhere else. It's a lot easier to give a massive tax break if you had a huge tax initially, than it would be for e.g the US to slap on a 20% tax on new ICE vehicles. (Unless of course they are made in Mexico in which case it's apparently easy).

Who do you think pays the real estate taxes now in an occupied rental? Where does the money come from? Why are those answers different (or the same)?
Wow, the first example is simply a typo as a result of copy and pasting the same conditional block repeatedly. You would learn this would cause problems in your first week of programming: that what you type in your code determines whether or not it will perform correctly.

Shouldn't they focus on examples of unexpected or non-obvious mistakes (or at least start with those -- but then why add obvious examples at the end)?

Whether you copy and paste or simply type a single line incorrectly, of course if the wrong thing is entered the code will simply be incorrect.

Why was it a piece of cake to regulate CFC:s but no one has the vision to strive to control CO2 and methane. I'm 37 years old. I've been scared of CO2 accumualation in the atmosphere before I went to school and I'm no genious.

I can't understand why has it been so hard recognize and act on CO2.

And it's not only the industry and politicians. Green parties have been the craziest in actively blocking nuclear power.

Why has this been so hard to see?

> That's not even remotely comparable because that would be fraud or some other crime.

I consider work of substandard quality to fall into the same category. Maybe not to the same extent, but still. If I am using software you created for me (that I paid for) and it has a flaw that exposes my data that you could have prevent with proper quality standards, its a fraud for me (in the "unjustifiably claiming or being credited with accomplishments or qualities" part of definition).

I agree with you, especially on your last part, when we apply the analogy to cars as well

"i have too many cars, so i shouldn't need to worry about if i park some of them in front of fire hydrants"

i would say that im struggling to understand a situation where the confiscation of a domain or a car is ever warranted, unless something criminal and clearly urgent (a fire, a drug running operation) needs to be stopped, rather than just as bureaucratic overreach to ensure payment and compliance
Yes! Wait are you talking about the second stage that was in the right/second monitor? I am.

I thought it was weird that the two pieces stayed with the second stage for at least a second or two, which was literally ~five+ kilometers. Perhaps there was an eddy created by the movement of the rocket or some weird space/vacuum effect I'm not well-versed in?

I didn't watch the film or do other research except for reading the article. I just wonder what the effects of a lifetime of bad eating, smoking and who knows what else... did to his body previously. He may have already built-up some medical issues.

Any problems he had previously weren't reported and analysed in the article. A "healthy" diet for 3 years doesn't miraculously erase his past. To suddenly go into a divergent new shock diet without a slow adjustment period could have the body reacting in ways that were unforeseen as a way of protecting itself.

I'm not suggesting, in the least, that 40 teaspoon of a sugar every single day is good for anyone(LOL). It just seems that lots of people in that range would have off days where they hit that high for a day or two... followed by lower sugar intakes for several days (giving the body time to heal or adjust).

It just reminds me of the "Deadly Facts about Water" meme:

I do CFD, so let's take that example, and say you have a bit flip in one value in one of your fields. There are four cases to consider:

a) bit flip happens so high in the mantissa it makes your code crash. detectable, you run simulation again

b) bit flip happens somewhat lower in the mantissa, enough that it shows up in your analysis. detectable as unphysical result, you run simulation again

c) bit flip happens even lower, you don't catch it as unphysical in your postprocessing and analysis. Here's where I'm saying: if a bit flip happens like this and affects your simulation in such a way that you don't see it's an error, but it still changes your end result and conclusion, and you're not running replications of your simulation to test robustness etc., you're Doing It Wrong.

d) bit flip happens even lower, same order of magnitude as numerical errors. nothing bad happens

please double check - nginx's support for proxy protocol is to be able to read it. it cannot support injecting it. if nginx is the first thing your traffic hits, it will not inject proxy protocol headers. Again, I will not stake my reputation on this... but I remember going deep into this about 2 months back.

if you are using nginx ingress, then you need to move all of your existing config into their own config file format. Since setting up full TLS internally in kubernetes is buggy, I didnt want to terminate my traffic on the ingress. Also I really did not want to move my (fairly complex) nginx configuration to the ingress.

Which is why I'm a big believer in haproxy ingress - it was designed to interface with nginx.

However, you are already one of the "enlightened" ones. You actually do know what an ingress is. A significant amount of k8s slack traffic is "how do I setup a loadbalancer/how to make the cluster available to the outside world"

Heck, we even voted in someone whose team wants to take actions that accelerate climate change. So this party will keep going until something terrible happens that actually impacts the folks at the top.

For those, like me, who missed it - kibwen apparently made a little joke.

Apparently this is just Rust stable not providing the functionality.
Maybe you or someone else can help me understand the use case for a load balancer. I have an application where it has a very high rate of ingress traffic. So much so that while a load balancer sounds like it's ideal, a single node (the balancer) would not be able to handle the traffic. Is the load balancer only useful for applications with a low ingress rate that you're trying spread across many servers?
In the US, the question of whether the "center" of the city is a tourist trap or a place where people live is irrelavent. Everyone goes everywhere by car, and the real center can move. However, in Europe, where we have REAL infrustructure, train stations, subways, tram lines. And we, the citizens, have invested TWO CENTURIES of tax money to build that incredible infrustructure, taking that center and saying "this part of the city is going to be too expensive for normal people to live there, is nothing short of theft. Normal people paid, with real money, taken out of their sallaries, which they earned with real work in order to build that subway system that they can no longer effectively use, because they live on the outskirts now. So any new zoning has to take that into account.

As for who is rich. Young, healthy, students who can afford to take time off and travel ARE RICH! You can say what you want about Ryan air being cheep and only €50 a flight. But the minimum wage in the Czech Republic is 11 000CZK or just €400 a month! Poor people have trouble paying for rent, and there is no chance they will be taking time off to take that ryan air flight to Brussels to spend the weekend in an AirBNB.

And those people don't benefit from AirBNB at all, given that they have no assets to invest in real estate.

> People don't need to be living in massive luxury and you don't always need to spend money to enjoy yourself, but aren't these countries pushing it?

I think a lot of it comes down to material vs non material quality of life.

First of all, very little of taxes evaporate in e.g wars. That helps.
Most of it seems to fund things that make me happy or at least not worried. I'm not worried about getting sick, old, whether my kids can go to university etc. At least I don't worry about the economics of it. In the US I'd live in a house twice as big and I could likely drive a fun car on the weekends. On the other hand I wouldn't be doing 8w of time off every summer and 2 years off with the kids. I honestly don't mind 30% income tax and a large chunk of payroll tax, just so I don't have to pay health insurance companies, do pension saving or save for college.

All the money I have at the end of the month is basically for spending. There is no need to save it other than in case the car breaks down or similar. I keep a months salary or two on hand for that. I don't need a pile of money for growing old or being sued or sending the kids to college.

When it comes to "taxes on fun" I'm inclined to agree a bit more - some things feels like gov't parenting, but it has some nice side effects such as making people drink nicer wine (a $2 bottle of wine would be $8 in Sweden while a $10 bottle might be $10 in Sweden. So understandably the $2 bottle isn't even imported).

I know that banning databases from k8s is the popular point of view now, but Google has been running databases in containers for nearly a decade. YouTube runs on top of http://vitess.io/, which is a cloud native approach to MySQL.

Well, when nuclear power fails, it tends to fail catastrophically. That leads to more public pressure. Also, theres no clear reason why humans should be consuming so much electricity and energy, which is a particular wing of the green party ideology

i would say that most likely, rich people's businesses produce a ton of CO2 as waste, but they don't consider it "waste". so they buy politicians with campaign funding and etc, who, upon grabbing power, block any attempts to (((regulate))) carbon waste
Do you mean 1440p or 144Hz? I'll assume 144Hz. First, that would be enough – gamers are flocking to those like crazy. Second, you have to really look at Multiplayer benchmarks here, not single player. In those Hyperthreading of the i7-7700K helps a lot when compared to the i5-7600K.

It's not really comparable. The political cultures in the two countries are very different. Belgium is a high-tax country only for those who pay their taxes in full, which many are able to avoid. The Norwegian real tax base is broader, so the load is more evenly distributed which gives the government more money which gives you more stuff back.

Show HN: Alexa Skill Kit – lib for effortless skill development with AWS Lambda
The title is very misleading. I was expecting a discussion about the future of programming, why there will probably never be a "best" language or why we're not all using functional languages yet. Was disappointed after reading the first sentence:

> Yes, you've guessed correctly - the answer is "42". In this article you will find 42 recommendations about coding in C++ that can help a programmer avoid a lot of errors, save time and effort.

The article states that these tips are 'usually universal', but I hardly found that to be true, only having counted about 10 points not being about C++.

The title should probably be something like the obvious "42 tips for C++ programmers" as the current one really doesn't justify the content.

Let's talk about youtube.

My [superficial] understanding of a recommender system is that it will suggest content similar to what the user liked in the past.

If that's true, is it possible that:

1. youtube will end up playing a small set of liked videos over and over again if the user deliberately likes a lot of videos that are similar on some scale.
2. youtube will keep suggesting new videos if the user keeps disliking videos, because the user never liked anything, making it hard to tell what the user wants.

We've spent way more than that on CO^2 via the Kyoto accords etc. Of course the problem isn't solved, but that's because it's a way bigger problem. We've acted even more on CO^2 than CFC's, but the problem of CFC's was much smaller and easier to solve.

You're missing the point: repeated blocks of code (whether they are copy+pasted or typed out) are simply bad, not from a computing point of view, in terms of what instructions get executed when, but from a human point of view, in terms of how we read and comprehend code. It's dealing with a different aspect of computer programming, rather than the obvious 'what works, what's efficient', but that makes it more interesting, not less.
