Minimalism makes the same attribution of wealth and possessions to happiness as consumerism does. The difference is that minimalists eschew possessions in favor of experiences. For them, saying they don't have a lot of possessions is the same as someone bragging about their new car and tv.
How to address Top 5 challenge for Container Monitoring?
Guess we need one post about IH on IH.
It cripples the OSS version in every possible use case.

I don't think you realize how important are status pages. That's like the single most important feature in a load balancer, after the load balancing itself.

You cannot perform any troubleshooting without it. You cannot see servers which are online or offline. You can't see what or how many users are online and where. You can't have statistics, bandwidth, connections, health checks... nginx is a black box.

Paying for nginx is a short term solution that causes more troubles. Next you have to count licenses and distribute license keys and use the paid installer from a special source. The long term solution is to ban nginx and use HaProxy instead, same stuff without paywalled features.

If I want to put money on something, it's going to F5 or NetScaler, or ELB, or Google load balancers, or Akamai, or Cloudflare. Not nginx.
I'm all for adding native ACME support to web servers, but I can understand that they'd rather wait till ACME reaches RFC status (which hopefully won't be long now - the draft is in WG Last-Call).

Once that's done, I'd definitely be disappointed if web servers still decide it's not in scope for their core product.
> Since the issues they can vote on are restricted by the Constitution, it's not really a big deal.

I don't agree. The U.S. Senate is very powerful; those restrictions aren't very broad.

> the simple 50% majority is by design

It depends what you mean. The filibuster, which requires 60% majority, has been part of the Senate since around the 1840s; clearly many generations of Senators thought it was important and intended that it continue.

NGINX plus provides a simple http API to add and remove backends to an upstream block. They also have persistence of these changes.

That's not a solution as it will not restore the same object graph, it will just repeat values.

One way is to to store a table of objects (as identified by id()) encountered during serialization, indexed by the order you encounter them. If you encounter an object you have already serialized, serialize an index into that table. On deserialization, construct the same kind of table, and deserialize an index with a reference to the same object.

See e.g. AMF for an example format that does this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_Message_Format
Well, you understand your system and requirements better than I, obviously, but...

A standard database table isn't large enough to handle our large datasets

... isn't much of an answer as-to why you're storing objects in your database.

As you already mentioned in your post, serialized objects are big - they contain all of their data, plus everything necessary to deserialize the object into something usable.

I imagine your objects have the standard amount of strings, characters, numbers, booleans, etc... why not just store those in the database and select them back out when needed? Less data in the database, and faster retrieval time since you skip serialization in both steps (storage and retrieval). Even if you have nested objects within nested objects, you can write-out a "flat" version of the data to a couple of joined tables surely.

On the other hand, serializing the object is probably more "simple" to implement and use... but then you get the classical tradeoff of performance vs. convenience.

>I can't think of a single large Western consumer software company who can actually think like that

I don't feel this is particularly novel, though perhaps it is to software companies (I don't know, honestly). But this idea feels a lot like "Market Penetration" as defined in the context of the Ansoff Matrix (introduced in 1957): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ansoff_Matrix

It's Marketing 101 stuff, and lots of big corporations, in old industries, employ this approach.
I definitely agree with the criticism that the media has focused on the video, as "shockertainment" rather than educating their viewers. The awareness of the law and skepticism in media is lacking, they pretty much disseminated incorrect relevant details. Many would decry a 46 page contract of carriage, but then also not aid the viewer in navigating that complex document.

At the very least, a journalist should ask the airline and the police:
-has a crime been committed?
-has a civil contract been committed?
-what breach of law or contract has been committed and can you cite this exactly?
-do you often threaten passengers with removal?
-how often are you asked to do non-criminal passenger extractions on behalf of the airline? which airlines?

Either the passenger committed a crime to cause forced removal, and it seems clear he didn't commit a crime (nor was in breach of the contract of carriage); or the police committed the crime of assault, an unlawful use of force. There's a crime here either way, and that outcome I think is interesting.

But no less interesting is that United appears to have a track record of using threats of violence to get passengers to do things that are not at all required by law, regulations, or their own contract of carriage.
http://www.latimes.com/business/lazarus/la-fi-lazarus-united...

That passenger decided to acquiesce to the threats, and ended up having no real meaningful recourse, i.e. even for this reasonably affluent person, it wasn't worth it to sue.

Basically the contract is next to meaningless. This is might makes right. And if you won't stand your ground, aren't willing to get wrongfully arrested, and then sue at your own expense, the airline's threats will work and they'll get what they want.

This attitude is understandable. A lot of the "college grads" I graduated with were people who I watched for 4 years not try very hard and walk away with the same degree as I had after I worked really hard preparing myself to be an effective engineer. Then I watched as they got nice paying desk jobs while I work around the clock being a freelance engineer who has to deliver working products to get paid. Hard work and dedication are what this job takes, not somebody older holding your hand. Looking at the code and process of older engineers is valuable but you have to proactively do that, it is part of being a dedicated engineer.
I have amblyopia in one eye too, try doing LSD or one of its semi-legal analogues. While on 300µg I was able to read with the lazy eye and got 3d vision. I was looking at a tree with lots of branches and suddenly it clicked. I retained 3d vision for about 2 weeks afterwards, progressively weaker.

Interesting experience. 3d vision really means depth is directly perceived in the same manner as width and height. Now I understand why so many people are afraid of heights.

No, the GP has it right: for all practical purposes, customers have no rights, especially when their contracts include binding arbitration clauses, since arbitration rules against the company essentially never.
It should be noted this should be taken with a grain of salt. The exact dates of the founding of Judaism and Zoroastrianism are not precisely known, and our best guesses vary by centuries. Atenism is probably the oldest monotheistic religion, but it's not certain.
How old are you?

Meals at work would have appealed to me when I was in my 20s. Now in my 30s and married I wouldn't make use of such a thing even assuming said meals would meet my special diet. I don't eat much and I want to be hungry when I get home in order to sit down to eat dinner with my family. If I ate a full meal at lunch I wouldn't be very hungry for dinner.

It would annoy me that I couldn't 'trade' in food for cold hard cash.
If you use a VISA check card from your bank you can easily monitor all expenses through your company bank account. I found this helpful for my startup, but as you get bigger and spend more money you'll probably want to look at cards that give you extras (cash back, etc...).
Apparently Warren Buffet has changed his mind in recent years and invested in airlines. Largely because of what you describe: consolidation means people have no choice but to use them.
lol, I definitely see a sound future existence for rhetorical questions.

In all seriousness:

If you're describing Parsis, then likely no. People are not allowed to convert to being Parsi. It isn't a religion, it is a sub-culture. Legally in India, you're only Parsi if you were born to of a Parsi man. Dumb patriarcal rule, which dwindles the Parsi populations.

If you're describing Zorastians, I couldn't say. It seems unlikely to die, its lasted too long, I'm sure it'll stick if only for nostalgia. The liklyhood that in the future children will be born Zorastrian is improbable. However, to be Zorastrian you don't technically have to acknowledge it. To the best of my knowledge, if you act Zorastrian, you are Zorastrian. And the most important mantra among Zorastrians is "Good thoughts, lead to good words, lead to good deeds". Additionally, we are too accepting for our own good. Zorastrians to the best of my knowledge have no official restrictions. You're still Zorastrian if you gamble, if you drink, if you eat whatever. We are accepting of our culture's "death", accepting of other religions[1], accepting (even encouraged) to be critically minded. Sadly, while being critically minded, ends up creating a positively disproportionate number of Parsis becoming "successful"[0], it also means most of us are also critically minded towards religion (i.e. "is there even a god?").

I can expand on this last statement a bit more (in regards to Parsis, not Iranis - I don't know too much about Iranian Zorastrian cultural perspectives). I myself, and what I see of my friends, and their parents, we tend to respect god as if we believe, however, we don't act like we do. I myself, consider myself a poly-ideologist. And love to irritate my religious friends (of all faiths) with "I must believe in god. I pray when shit gets tough, but I don't irritate god by thinking about it the rest of the time." I myself, have come to realize that my Zorastrian/Parsi beliefs are foundational, but they do not provide the framework. I had to personally build my personal framework, originating from that foundation. Which it seems to me most others from my community do. Maybe this was intentional? Maybe this is just how the oldest religion alive had to evolve to scale/continue itself.

Finally, it's unclear what you mean by "your community's future existence", so I'll leave you with this. Long story short, I don't think these "brands" (i.e. Parsi, maybe even Zorastrian) will last. However, the mentality/ideology is infectious. Any child brought up around it adopts it. A lot of adults I've spoken to who are "apathetic" or "atheist" have actually reached similar/identical conclusions.

Hopefully, that answers your question.

[0] If you use successful people per capita as a metric, Parsis are likely on top of the list. As such I view a causal relationship with intelligence.

Show HN: Container Monitoring in a Simplified Way
I've seen the same as well, more so that most of them were taught one structured way to look at problems and only how to use specific tools, rather than why. There's definitely tradecraft learning necessary beyond a bootcamp.
There's no reason someone can't have both skills and certifications

Ok, sure...But we're not saying they are mutually exclusive. We're talking about bayesian inference here...

Agreed. We all stand on the shoulders of giants.

The point is one SOLO GENIUS took all of the tools available to them at that point in history and made something amazing.

No virtual machines to wrestle, no boot CDs to awkwardly try to boot on machines that no longer have CD-ROMs: push a couple buttons, install an app.

It depends on the market you're after. Sophisticated buyers won't ask for certifications. They can look at your work and understand your value. Those are the clients my firm is after. Leads that ask for certifications drop out of our sales process, and I refer them elsewhere.

Part of the problem with certifications is that lots of students look at them as a means to an end. This is wrong and counterproductive. Learning to pass a certification is the laziness, most counterproductive exercise you can do to learn security. Yet this is common. Learn by doing. Then get a cert if someone demands it or offers you more money for one.

If more people approached certification that way, there would be less industry-wide pushback about it.
Would it be a completely stupid idea to write a CUDA-based OpenCL back-end? i.e., an OpenCL-to-CUDA translator, so you can program your kernels in one single language but still get the benefit of the NVidia CUDA compiler?

> five instructions long dependency chain, what's why!

Skylake apparently has up to 224 instructions in flight. So during those dependent 5 instructions, theoretically it could be doing some of the next hundred. Or the previous hundred.

I simply find it hard to believe that Intel would design monsters with so many out-of-order instructions, but still every random bit of software will constantly get completely stalled by dependent instructions.
I like what I do. I like going to work. I like my company. I like coming home to my baby and tickling his feet. It's life. Being a lazy bum not accomplishing what you want to do shortchanges you and your life as well as the people paying you.

> So United personal should have known they are in a legal grey area when removing a passenger who had boarded.

From what I've read, they weren't in a grey area, they were doing something that was specifically illegal. A grey area is when it may or may not be illegal. This wasn't grey.

Just in case, "WPF vs Sciter": https://sciter.com/sciter/sciter-vs-wpf/

Essentially Sciter is a crossplatform WPF but using HTML/CSS instead of XAML.

As for me (I am an author of Sciter) the biggest disappointment was the way how styles were implemented in WPF/XAML. Even in 2006 it was clear that style cascading (contextual inheritance) is the way to go. It appears as XAML was not designed from the very beginning to be human readable - just trendy ("XML everywhere" in 2006) replacement of VB's .FRM files. .FRM files were even more human readable/editable ( notation was quite close to YAML).

Personally, I feel it would be even better if it was powered through USB-C.

> So during those 5 instructions, theoretically it could be doing some of the next hundred.

Not if the next iteration of the loop not only branches on the previous result (okay, that one's easy on the predictors), but also depends on the previous iteration :)

--

The basic idea behind these designs is that

a) most software is a fat, ugly blob of shit which sometimes calls into

b) specific functions implementing high-performance algorithms (be it compression, encryption, hashing, ..., image manipulation, ...)

So for b) you want a capable design to have high throughput, and that also plays well with a) because it means that the core can spend most of it's time blocking on memory or executing an instruction or two every couple cycles. It also means that SMT works very, very well, since now you got two fat blobs smearing their shit around, but the core has more than enough resources to deal with that. That's why SMT gives 50++ % speed-ups for many applications. Because they're fat blobs.
Vrml was really bad, everything was static and you couldn't do anything but look around and click.

The cap is the maximum of what passengers are legally entitled to. The airlines can offer more if they want.
Introducing DnsControl – “DNS as Code”
Only because the passenger peacefully resisted, and did not comply with the airline's request he depart the plane on his own volition. He didn't give into threats, and risked and received an assault, in order to arrive at the point where this is going to cost the airline.
