a rather interesting aspect of the taxicab number story is that ramanujan had been looking at "near misses" to the fermat equation, and this was the first values of one of the infinite families of near misses he had constructed. The story is often dramatized to make it sound like Ramanujan just knew about all the cubes and their sums and he pulled this out of thin air on the spot, but the truth is probably that he had worked enough with these equations to recognize the number when Hardy mentioned it.

check it out, super neat number thy stuff!

You seem to be conflating facts and opinions. You correctly point out that people disagree on facts, but you don't seem to accept that even when people do agree on facts they can still disagree on opinion. I find this position dangerous, as it rapidly leads to the idea that, if everyone were equally in agreement of the facts, clearly they would all come to the same conclusions based on those facts. You have to draw a line between opinion and facts somewhere: choose a place, draw the line, and then assert your opponent is calling a fact an opinion; but as soon as you start redefining words like "opinion" to be something people don't get to choose the correctness of... well, it isn't just my "opinion" that you are now becoming part of the problem, I would argue it is a "fact" (insofar as words have definitions, which I would often argue against in the small, but definitely can't challenge in the large).

I think the problem with journalism is that it was never the actual business. What it was, were supporting and adding sophistication to the news industry, but it was never actually central to the business. But the value of news was that it didnt used to be widely available. That was actually what people paid for. The news and clssifieds, not the journalism. And so what we see are all these people in the news industry trying to improve their business by improving journalism.
The best move is to forgive the other person, it's not worth wasting your time over emotions at work. Maybe they had a bad day, it can happen to anyone. Just keep your ground and make sure you are perceived as being helpful in the situation and move on.

There are "facts" which support diametrical points of view, and you brought up the perfect example. You can make data support any theory you want, and you'll get published! And stories will be written about your research! And you'll get a raise! No matter WHAT you say about it.

People look to their ideological pedagogues to TELL them what to think about the NEWS COVERAGE of the ARTICLES about the PAPERS about the DATA, regardless of what it says, and it's happening on BOTH sides, with both the Rush Limbaugh's and the Jon Stewart's of the world. Facts may matter to you and me, but they certainly don't to most of the population. By the time it reaches the average person, an 18-month study, with all it's glorious data, assumptions, conditions, and results, is washed out in a single sound byte, because no one has the patience to understa...

Relearning Functional Service Design for Microservices
Even so, ECC on Ryzen would make said servers cheaper, even if only by forcing Intel pricing lower. ECC on Intel is very overpriced.
I did none of those things. It was just a description of a process as value-less as I was able to write it.

However I do not think this process necessarily leads to the creation of an awesome area. Just one catered to particular type(s) of people which may or may not include people previously living there. "Awesomeness" depends on a personal point of view. I think most of us can think of an otherwise popular spot that we personally find repelling.

I also doubt it leads to increased supply of housing useful to locals in the same way as building hotels generally doesn't. It may increase capacity of a city to hold more people at any time, but without some redistribution (e.g. from taxes of such properties) may not have any (positive) effect on availability of long-term housing apart from moving some of it elsewhere.

I don't think there is infinite demand of areas or supply of tourists and certainly don't think locals will be displaced from everywhere. Their quality of life however may be reduced and it should be no surprise that they are not fond of this. If my daily commute becomes 15 minutes longer in each direction, than there are 2.5 hours fewer weekly or almost a week yearly over which I lost agency.

And I am only scratching the surface here of the problem(s) or my position which is unhelpfully that it depends. Sometimes such developments are positive, but not always or not forever. It may be a balancing act and what I am certain of is that there is no answer that would always be correct.
Waitlists are a red herring. It'll take 3-6 months here too. people over 65 get them, that's all Medicare. Even if it was regular insurance you'd still see waitlists for the doctors due to demand.

All true, but if we say "type" then the default assumption will be "int", "string" etc. -- "pixels" and "millimeters on a piece of paper" are the same type then.

I agree. I found the "ideal" argument length of 0 (or I think 1) to be a bit ridiculous, though I was in the love affair period you have when you first start learning functional programming.

I read (see below) that the idea of Hungarian notation was bastardised. The idea wasn't to encode type information as such, not in the primitives type sense. It was more to encode meaning succinctly.

To use the example given, Position(x, y) is perfectly fine in Hungarian notation, because the variables tell us exactly what they are: the x and y coordinates as part of a point. The Hungarian notation we rip on would have us write Position(ix, iy).

With the tools and type systems today, yeah, it's obsolete in the truest sense. Interesting piece of history none the less. I guess the real usefulness is the idea of encoding verbose information that our current tools and language do not support. That sounds better than encoding a primitive.

The amount of highlighted words in the article irks me. Why not only highlight a word when it's first introduced?
How many new power plants are planned? Or do many houses have their own photovoltaic.

Optimally, one has a house with 10+KW/H photovoltaic panels at home, an battery storage and an electric car. The battery storage is needed, as one is usually away at work when the sun is shining. And if you deliver the eletricity to the grid provider you get little money, so it would make sense to use the power yourself or store it to power up your car for next day. And of course your employer would need parking lots to power up electric cars.

(what would be not optimal to have huge coal/atomic power plants in the neighbourhood that produce the electricity for your car - then a petrol powered car would make more sense)

And if you own an electric car, do you own the battery pack too? Or do you have lease the power pack for something like 100$ per months plus all the costs electricity to recharge? - I would like to buy an electric car, and want to own the battery myself.
Couldn't performance variation on a shared server be due to "noisy neighbors?"

Yes, we do have plans to replace the current web UI. :) It is an open source app you can follow along with the development on github [0]. And I can't say much myself, but I believe TechCrunch has us quoted as planning to release this in beta in a few months. :)

And actually, we have considered both being able to mass-provision Linodes through the web UI and use SSH keys instead of passwords. But the mass-provision part sort of got swept under the rug for beta.

Then fwiw the API is also being redone with more features and written completely in Python. You can finds docs for that here [1].

You can also sign up for alpha access today and play around with the new API (and free [temporary] Linodes!), as well as set up the manager locally [2].

The problem with "journalism" is that it got degraded to infotainment over the last decade and there is barely any real journalism left. If you have to make money, you have to cater to a large group of people and also for your advertisers. This essentially making sure most of your output is clickbait titles and nothing too crazy. There are few exceptions though like the intercept and similar news outlets.
If your goal is quiet and quiet alone, i would suggest a good cooler. A cooler master hyper 212 is really quiet.

I'm currently working towards a k8s-on-metal system using nginx for ingress and was led to believe that I could use either X-Forwarded-For or proxy_protocol to preserve the originating IP address. Is the traffic bounced through an SNAT rule on it's way to the ingress controller or similar?

The other article linked in this thread[1] attributes this attack to a "state-sponsored actor", which is interesting considering that Google was hacked by such an actor [2], but I'm not sure they ever acknowledged it.

I doubt anyone can say for sure that Facebook and/or Twitter haven't been hacked in such a way. If anything, all we can say is that we haven't heard about it.

If the project isn't primarily a software engineering/data analytics group, ask yourself what they'll do when you're gone. Its not unlikely that setting up something complicated can be short term profitable while you're around and long term a net loss after you're gone.

There are hacks against that such as doing grunt work where its not about the volunteer who is interchangeable with any other volunteer (perhaps installing wifi or cat5 cabling, whatever) or helping something with a closed timeframe (An election campaign has a clearly defined ending and presumably you can commit to not leaving before the finish line).

Your best bet would be to find whatever FOSS they use and then work on the FOSS project. Your research shows that people and community users of some FOSS project would really benefit from feature whatever or bugfix whatever or documentation whatever, so ...
We as an industry have kicked around "how to save journalism" for years now. Here's what I've got:

If you want journalism, sponsor endowments for journalists to report in certain areas, like foreign policy or local government. At the same time, and critically, sponsor endowments for editors to put a tight reign on these journalists.

Completely decouple good journalism for hunting-for-eyeballs. Then let the content curators and aggregators make some kind of business out of it, if they can.

In the past, whenever we consumed quality content, it was always there because some commercial interest paid for it to be there. Somehow we've forgotten about that. There has always been a difference between what the commercial interests wanted and what quality content demanded, but in the past the feedback loop was so slow and diffuse that good content happened anyway. This is no longer the case.

So if you want good content, you're going to have to completely decouple it from commercial interests -- and apply rigorous quality standards as well. Good editors are sorely missing in modern content creation, and everybody seems to want to take the old models, including ad-sponsored material, and make them work. They will not work.

Sure. And taxes complicate the situation further (lots of countries have tax incentives for home owners). But as a homeowner you're on the hook for maintenance and repairs. You're also a lot less flexible: when you rent, it is easier to move for a job or if your family expands/contracts.

Both have advantages and drawbacks. I just don't think it is the no-brainer you make it out to be.

Google is scary bad at providing accurate information and I think it's a big problem, skewing people's view of the world. Just search anything related to nutrition, supplements, medicine, etc. and you'll see that most of the top results are from crank blogs, "alternative medicine" websites, or otherwise sources with no basis in fact. And if you don't know much about how culture happens on the Internet, you might be satisfied just to click on the first few and accept that information as truth. Scary stuff.
you should google for proxy-protocol. so here's the thing - nginx cannot INJECT proxy protocol. I'm not an expert in nginx.. but atleast the versions used in k8s couldnt.

It can read/pass-through proxy protocol headers. So if you have haproxy in front of nginx.. it will work fine (or ELB/GLB).

Which is why there's another beta ingress - the "keepalived-vip" repo in k8s ingress. However, not a lot of people seem to be using haproxy primarily because haproxy cannot have a zero-downtime deploy.

A couple of weeks back on k8s slack, I was discussing using Github multibinder to solve that one problem and move ahead with haproxy ingress.

protip: please join the #sig-onpremise channel on slack. There's not a lot of momentum for bare metal deploys otherwise.

As a consultant, this is why it is a good idea to have a corporate entity to absorb contractual liability...and why it is a good idea for that corporate entity to have no assets.

Practically speaking, and skipping the 'hire a lawyer' part. It is likely that if there is legal action, it will be directed at the consulting company first and foremost because it is likely to have deeper pockets and be backed by an insurance policy that was acceptable to the bank.

Generally, the insurance company will settle based on its exposure rather than outright liability. These things rarely wind up in court. Which brings me to my second recommendation, have insurance for errors and ommissions.

Good luck.

The donations of the highly successful are the reason many NPOs and relief foundations exist. With capitalism it seems to be "winner takes all" where there's a first (and maybe second) place price, but not much after that.
