Also NAS systems often have check-summing and redundancy on the disk, but if an error happened in RAM, then that error will be propagated into the checksum and redundant copies.

> Chernobyl wasn't a bigger problem because of the personal sacrifice of the thousands of liquidators that cleaned it up.

While slightly clumsy wording on my side, I was trying to say exactly this while trying to encompass the able help of outside experts and agencies that all worked (and still work) to contain this disaster.

>Which is why the danger - even at Chernobyl - is usually severely overstated.

Perhaps by others, but not by me. I was simply saying that the disaster area is still and will likely long remain an unlivable place. I find that an unacceptable risk. You are welcome to disagree.

>Fear tends to suppress rationality, so remember to stick to the facts, and remember that reputable sources can be hard to find for any topic.

This goes both ways. Arguing from the standpoint of reactor designs we're not using and setting arbitrary thresholds for "huge" versus "insane" to decide what's really worthy of our concern and using "modern medicine" as a catchall for improved chances for survival as if it were a solved problem aren't good talking points. The variation in survivorship among the liquidators has as much to do with how much exposure they had working on site. Most of those with larger exposures aren't fighting for healthcare--they're already dead.

Besides, this all stemmed from my original reply about whether there was any evidence for the disaster costing more than one generation. I'll "stick to the facts" by saying it did, it does, and even the very battle against Russian beaucracy for healthcare coverage you mentioned shows that even the care of survivors remain an issue for later generations.

It's worth noting that only USA-Russia full "mutually assured destruction" nuclear exchange has the potential to come anywhere close to an existential threat. A limited nuclear exchange using up the arsenals of all other states does not; a nuclear escalation that results in USA or Russia nuking a non-nuclear state does not, etc. As long as USA and Russia (who between them hold almost all global nuclear weapons) keep their MAD reserves not triggered, it would simply be localized mass destruction on a scale comparable to the city/country destroying mass bombings of WW2.

It would be horrible, it would be comparable to the largest mass killings of 20th century, but it wouldn't be anything that different from what we have survived in the past and it wouldn't be a "near extinction event". "Just" a horrible catastrophe.

Airplane, single-engine land. It's a rating added on to a pilot certificate, and says what kind af aircraft you may fly. The "land" part means an airplane that lands on the ground, which is different from "sea", for airplanes that can land on water.

Also, note that minimally you would need a commercial certificate to fly for hire. Even then, there are some restrictions on how you can do that. A private allows you to fly with friends, but you may not charge them. You can share expenses for the flight with friends, but need to be careful that it's legitimate sharing.

You seem a bit sad."

They are also using ML to do the same thing, automatically. Just further separating us in the name of bringing us together.

It's definitely not procrastination posting. I've formed valuable relationships from people who have reached out after a comment I wrote. Aside from that, commenting on HN is a great way to practice my writing skills, which I rarely get to use since my day-to-day work consists largely of programming. The community here is invaluable in that it provides an audience for your writing, so long as you are willing to fit your arguments into an intellectually rigorous framework and provide sources when necessary. It's much easier to hone your writing ability when you have an audience, and I am very grateful to HN for providing one. I hope the community can avoid a "eternal September" problem and continue providing a valuable service.

AMD has been going through this cycle of down-and-turnaround for decades now. They tend to be like Microsoft OSes in that every other CPU architecture is the one that does really well, giving Intel some trouble... until Intel decides to crush AMD with lower prices and existing OEM/supplier relationships.

Give it a couple years, AMD stock will be back down pushing new lows, at which point you can scoop up some shares and ride it out a few years for the next big win. AMD sticks around moreso because Intel needs them to exist, otherwise Intel would be a straight monopoly.

This is true in a different way as well: the $135 off lease Dell T1600 workstation I bought on eBay with an E3 1245 (v1 / Sandy Bridge) CPU still decently compares to a Kaby Lake i5 and so the price/value is sky high. I didn't just get the CPU but also motherboard, RAM, PSU, chassis.

Truth is, IPC growth has almost completely stalled, only 20% since Sandy Bridge https://www.hardocp.com/article/2017/01/13/kaby_lake_7700k_v... and so these ancient machines still serve us very well. And the E3 1245 had HT on which the i5 doesn't...

> I stop counting the 5+ years old laptops that have to be upgraded,

5+ years ago is that LOOOOOONG time that OP was talking about. It's also unfair to compare technical capabilities of old hardware for many reasons. I think the point was that, new hardware, _while its new_, is becoming more and more capable. Any new laptop today, even budget ones, can handle YouTube videos in HD. The problem is that HD today won't be the same HD that exists in 5 years (i.e., 4k), and it's sensible that a budget laptop today will struggle with the 8k technology that comes out 5 years from now. This is an old problem (pun intended) and should not be surprising.

> Because personally, I keep having performance problems on all laptops I have.

Selection bias. Programmers who compile code, run VMs or containers, and process tons of data, are not the average consumer laptop use case and have much stricter requirements. Many people are sitting in Facebook, YouTube, Gmail, or Google Docs for most of their day-- and likely inside of Chrome.

Where are the "Chrome is Flash for the desktop" posts?

The idea that Electron is any different of a user experience for the vast majority of users seems skewed to developer usage, to me.

Distilling my previous comment, it's really this.

I navigated the waters of Fleet and Deis v1 to find an answer to "how can I make sure this does not go down with lots of lead time and half a dozen warnings well in advance before it does go down." (Aside, my datacenter at the time had famously reliable electricity on two grids that just does not go down.)

Now I have to renegotiate that position to get the same guarantees with Kubernetes. Before, I was worried about maintaining etcd quorum when N machines go down, and preventing split-braining. Now, I'm still worried about those things, but they're behind an abstraction layer of Kubernetes API and new suite of tools for managing it.

I'm not expected to manage my etcd quorum in the same way. I am sure that's good news. Or I am still expected to manage etcd quorum, but it's buried behind a mound of Kubernetes so it's hardly even clear that there is ETCd running at all on a basic cluster without multi-master. You couldn't have a Deis v1 cluster without running at least 3 instances of etcd. You were forced right away to get to know those failure modes.

If it's not clear yet, I am a really small-time consumer of high availability.

The new system also forces many best practices on me, in ways I'm not accustomed to. (More not bad things...) I was once advised to split my control plane from my data plane (and possibly also my routing plane) back in Deis v1, to ensure reliability. I never got around to it with Deis v1... but in Kubernetes it's already been done for me by kubeadm.

I had a 5-node fleet cluster with 5 etcd members that was "all control plane all the time" inside of what amounts to a single AZ, and it's pretty clear that this is a totally wasteful design now. You wouldn't build a K8S cluster with 5 masters and no minions. But what's 40GB of RAM in a private data center? To ensure reliable service, sure we had that kind of RAM just laying around. With Deis v1 we did exactly that. For a cluster the size of mine, I'd say it was a thoroughly researched and well-advised decision... at the time.

It's clearer to me from talking with you that, from a code perspective, there is just way too much code in common to call it a brand new product. For a cluster admin who doesn't get very deep into the code though, I feel like it's a much easier case to make that it is in fact a distinct and new product. The constraints have all shifted, and the guarantees are in quite a lot of cases not the same.

This all amounts to basically hand waving though, and I'll reiterate I am not passing judgement on the progression of Deis/Workflow and its place in the container ecosystem.

It's been a wild ride! Thanks for bringing along a community with you. The marching forward and continued progress of free software such as Deis and Kubernetes is a thing to behold.

"airline's right to remove any passenger at any time for any reason"

1. Absurd.

Flight attendant: Sir, you farted, we're going to remove you.
Passenger: Umm, we're at 42,000 feet?!
Flight attendant: Too bad, we can remove you at any time for any reason.

2. Citation for this "right"?

In the airline's contract of carriage I see explicit reasons for being removed from an aircraft, and none of them apply to this case.
Because i don't need to know everything up front. I just need to know enough about you to tell me why I should consider interviewing you and enough for me to prepare questions. I don't run interview for 15 minutes. I run between 1-2 hours interview per candidate. If you try to oversell yourself to me, you are trying too hard. I still go through the interview if I think you are the right candidate to interview even if you did send me a 50-page resume, but that doesn't mean I don't want a briefer CV.

So let me ask you the, is it okay for you to get a 20-page resume then instead of 10? How about this, someone with 40 years of experience and now you get a 40-page resume.
This is a fascinating subject that I've spent an inordinate amount of time thinking about, as I've continually tried to improve my studying habits in these first two years of medical school.

There's some great points here. One for discussion that I'd disagree with is copying your notes. Here in medical school, it's literally temporally impossible to copy your notes and actually get to all the material. It's definitely an extremely effective way to learn the material, but unfortunately when you have so much material in so little time, it's just not feasible (FWIW, an average semester has 25 credits of courses for me).

I'd also add in spaced repetition studying - this has been an extremely effective method of studying for me, and I've learned more via spaced repetition studying of previously made flashcards than I have from reading the textbooks. And it does a phenomenal job of isolating the material you need to know from what you already know.

Also WinXP used a forked Trident engine with some removed features for "Software" dialog and various other features (Windows Help, etc).
Depends on which part of Europe you are talking about. Europe is huge and diverse - kind of like the UK. Apart from your personal view, I doubt you can find the facts to back up your assertions. Example: France is famously mired in bureaucracy, with law that discourages scaling up a business beyond a certain size due to the tower of rules and regulations you have to comply with beyond that size. Another example: Crossrail, one of if not the largest infrastructure project in Europe just now, and it's in the UK.

Takes three weeks to do anything? BT are crap, granted, but Amazon Prime takes care of many things I need the next day, and apart from getting a mortgage banking is pretty swift these days.

I remember telling colleagues in the Netherlands that we paid nothing, which punctured their idea of superiority a little given their compulsory health insurance charges, plus extra per visit costs.

Money Talks – Why Migrants Matter
We migrated from IRC to Mattermost and haven't looked back. It integrates so well with our Gitlab/Jenkins flow, too. It's been great.

The biggest benefits for us:

- Easy to use web push endpoints w/ API keys (great for scripting with curl)

- Integration with Gitlab / Jenkins

- Chat Logs (see what happened while you were away)

- Public listing of channels (no more "oh you have to join #whatever to see that")

- Mobile Web App (I can't get the Android app to work with our self signed cert, but that's OK).

I find Rand tragic.

She had a real opportunity to educate people about a proper relationship between people and their government, during a time of creeping totalitarianism and collectivism.

Sadly, she also wanted to create a cult.

The chapter about her in Brian Doherty's "Radicals for Capitalism" most certainly bore this out. My favorite part was when she sat her husband down and informed him that the Objectivist philosophy dictated that she should be allowed to bang her assistant.
