The whole point of the ZFS needs ECC statement is that it holds true even for non-significant deployments. Such as a home-NAS. And at that scale it comes with a quite significant cost increase. Rather than reusing your old workstation you need a new server class machine with lots of RAM, even though the CPU requirements aren't that high.

If your backend is a zvol you get the integrity advantages and cheap snapshots regardless of your VM filesystem, so it isn't really a fair comparison with an "EXT all the way" scenario.

Realistically, as a company you would start with one floor, and once it fills up, rent another in the same building.

Unless you are in a really unattractive area the chances the there is an empty floor in the same building just sitting around waiting for you is quite unlikely.

I certainly don't want to work in the parts of town where warehouses are easily available no matter how nice the office.

I think being born from a bag, is preferabl to not being born at all, any time.
etherael doesn't appear to be supporting the logical clout of that type of argument, but rather commenting on its ubiquity in modern public discourse and success in driving policy.

If your team of programmers tried to build something like Servo in assembly, you would never complete the task because the task is so laborious and error prone. Finding and correcting all the bugs in your hand-written assembly isn't feasible.

So it's theoretically possible to express such a program in assembly language, but it's not something humans could realistically produce without tools such as Rust.

Consul has some nice features around change notification that make features like pushing a change in conf without needing a code deploy trivial to implement. Also consul servers are strongly consistent but agents are eventually consistent, fwiw, so that statement will mean different things depending on how you've set up your infrastructure.

There's also nothing to stop you from pushing config into git and then having a build that just syncs files to consul kv.
> If someone says they are building a race car, you have a pretty good idea that they are building a vehicle to compete in a race, and speed and handling are important, but specific details might change depending on the type of racing.

Right, but there's nothing like that for a "system programming language". What does that tell me? I might assume it meant manual memory management or a language suitable for writing a kernel, but the Go people call that a "system programming language" even though neither of those things applies.

Require pre-payment for a set number of API requests, bandwidth transfer and bandwidth throughput above what it costs you to deliver it. This insures you are covered for infrastructure upgrades, contract bandwidth increase costs, security and more as you grow. What ever bundles you create, insure that the pricing is enough to give you a good profit so all of your expenses are covered and you have money to put aside.
but "thoe" read that way is a word (i.e. "though"), and th is basically never pronounced as a hard t the way the line I quoted has it meant to be read. "wuaed thoe sai" is somehow meant to be deciphered as "what to say." I would say nobody reading using your method (or any other) can read it correctly. The other comment, for example, misread it (generously) as "they", to make it make sense grammatically. "you know just what they say."

The problem, very simply, is that's just not what the text says.

I totally agree with you, but the counter-argument will then always be "what incentive does the bank then have to operate?".

For this reason, I believe the idea of a bank as a business or an entity that is operated privately without the implicit requirement to operate ethically and on behalf of a state's citizens, needs to be completely done away with otherwise we will inevitably end up in the current sociopolitical mess we have now.
Ah, in that case I can guess what happened. SliceConcatExt was probably not in the prelude back then. Well, we never guaranteed forward compatibility :)
This is such a naive understanding of human history. The defining breaking point between the Homo genus and our ape ancestors is tool use 1-2 million years ago.

Those tools (and our subsequent use of fire) enabled us to dramatically reduce the size of our digestive tract. We get more energy from our food and spend less resources to digest it because of cooking, a technology.

We have thus evolved wherein we are not capable of surviving on an entirely non cooked diet that we would gather ourselves (the energy input to gather the food plus the energy to digest the raw food is too high -- cooking makes it feasible with our technologically adapted digestive tract).

Yet no one worries about us going extinct if we were to lose access to fire or cooking utensils -- because we can recreate them with ease.

Thus, the concern shouldn't be dependence on a technology but on the ease of us losing that technology. Nonetheless, I agree that this technology is much easier to lose than fire or cooking knowledge.

Unfortunately, doing that at a particularly interesting scale - so I could have, for example, automatic compilation as I type into my editor, meaning hitting "run" would be near-instant - means rearchitecting the compiler to behave closer to Roslyn, which is a huge task.

I think I might honestly prefer to work for someplace that was remote first (only?), and maybe had a day or two out of the week when employees would actually go in to the office if there were planned meetings / group training / team time / etc.

Clarifying my point: the office is time shared within the company. Different teams would have different days /in/ the office.
There is no limit. It is a minimum, and it does not work like you seem to think it does (if you blame regulations, which is how I read that comment). See https://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/flights/todayinthesky/...:

> For example, an involuntarily bumped traveler who arrives to his final destination more than two hours late (fours internationally) is entitled to an amount worth 400% of his one-way fare (capped at a maximum of $1,350).

There are no regulations forbidding United to offer more when a passenger is already seated, and that passenger thus can't be legally bumped (apart from because of safety reasons maybe).
Startups asking for more regulation, very hypocritical of them. I understand need for regulation in mobile internet as it is a limited resource.

In your options there's one called "showdead". That allows you to see any comments that have been killed by the HN software or by user flags.

If you then click the timestamp of a dead comment you'll see a [vouch] link. If enough people click that it'll change the post from dead to live. Mods get to see vouches, and people who get enough vouches I think get converted from banned to unbanned.

I think there's a karma threshold four vouching, but I don't know what that is.
Isn't this exactly the definition of capitalism and what is at the basis of the entire American economy? You can complain that a foreign company is hiring you for what you consider below-par payment, but unless you find a better paying job elsewhere, isn't this what capitalism is all about?
Next to that - aren't American companies doing exactly the same? Why does IBM have more employees in India (80.000 I believe) than it has in the US? Not because the weather is so great in Bangalore - because the people work for $3000 per year(!!).

I think the report mostly agrees with the grandparent; it's just that the meaning of "ISP" has drifted over the past 20 years. Paragraph 63 lists "America Online, AT&T WorldNet, Netcom, Earthlink, and the Microsoft Network" as examples of ISPs. Paragraphs 66-68 assume that an ISP pays for service from a telecommunications carrier.

Paragraphs 75-76 use email and web hosting as examples of the services discussed in paragraphs 80-81, things the grandparent points out he doesn't use. They may be intertwined with data transport, but data transport isn't intertwined with them. Paragraph 75 does identify web access as an information service, but the same logic could be used to classify telephone service as an information service because you can use it to retrieve information from a PBX. Paragraph 81 repeats the assumption that ISPs consume telecommunications services.

In general, the report seems to assume that Congress expected information services to coexist with telecommunications services, not to replace them.

Oh, sure, it's kinda a pipe dream to get something like this for C++ (use ccache instead). But Rust is still forming its story here (we have experimental incremental compilation which does this!) and I see no reason to constrain it by tying it to files :)

"They" (assuming you mean Silk Road) were not selling fentanyl. Vendors using Silk Road were. Might sound like nitpicking, but I think there is an important distinction. If person A and person B are planning a crime using gmail, is Google responsible?
Obviously you wouldn't choose consul for this one feature, but if you're already relying on consul as service discovery in your network, why not?

You don't need to invent a change management system, you just need to utilize from a myriad of existing consul OSS.

I'm not saying consul makes all the sense in the world for you, but there's definitely sound architectural thinking behind what the parent is talking about. It's not just a bunch of crazy talk :-D
Seeing comments on this thread, I find hacker news turning into Reddit. Instead of tech discussion/pro-cons or some progressive discussion we are having some random comments. Now for down voters you are allowed to slay me!
The lack of empathy in the comments is disconcerting. The post is a bit light on details (though the example given of flying 23 hours back-to-back continental flights is terrible if regular) the post deserves better than:
1. Pilots fly for fun. You made the wrong career move.
2. Capitalism!
3. you're lucky - imagine if you were a warehouse worker.

He's a pilot, not an accountant or lawyer. He knows that there is pay pressure due to companies skirting regulations. That exec mgmt gets massive bonsuses while the pilots work very long hours and (probably unpaid) overtime offends one's sense of justice.

Pay has been stagnant for the vast majority of workers for decades. We should be doing something about it, not dismissing it. Capitalism is a great tool for progress, but it should not, and is not, the answer to everything. Human dignity matters.
Ask HN: Is there a sane alternative to Angular and React?
Slightly tongue-in-cheek but nonetheless serious question. I've recently started looking into JavaScript UI frameworks and have the uneasy feeling they are actually worse than the now defunct Flash and Silverlight.

Angular and React seem to be a mish-mash of proprietary syntax and technologies (AtScript, JSX, TypeScript etc.) that paper over some of the cracks in JavaScript and CSS.

Are these transitory technologies that will be replaced by something better in the near future? Is there a better alternative available today?
I actually found it quite easy to read and English is my second language. Maybe it's the other way around and native speakers have a harder time, since the way things are written is more ingrained in their thinking.

I have been in this situation twice.

2 years ago, I have lived in the same building as 20 other colleagues for 4 months.
Now I am living in another city, but where most of the people I know and interact with in my free time are from work.

Both of the time, me and my coworkers played football/basketball together, barbecued in the woods, went to the lake/beach, met for pizza-and-movie, partied almost every week and even planned trips out of the country together. We almost never talk about work, and surely not more than I talk about work with other friends.

well, atheism is "I don't believe in a God". Then you get 2 strains of anti-theism on top of that: "I am against organised religion" and "I don't want anyone to be religious" (and it's related form, "I think anyone who is religious is stupid"). The problem is that people who claim to represent atheism are often of one of the latter two camps.
Why My Handwriting Sucks: A Typographical Analysis
That is fantastic to hear! I am also in the UK and every single contract I have signed was accompanied with clauses basically stating that the company owns anything I create while I am employed by them. This includes anything outside of work as well. I believe this is the standard terms for UK contracts. I was lucky in getting my current employer to add an addendum to my contract giving me certain exclusions to this clause, it was however a process to get it past their legal department.
General rule for Germany is, that your employer must allow you to have a job besides your main job.

This does probably not really fit to what we understand as "side projects" but if you are making serious money and invest time in it, you´ll have to talk to your employer.

Employers will most likely do not allow it, if it´s very time consuming (you need to be fit your main job) or very related to your main job (say: freelancing graphic design while working for a design agency).

I found that it really depends on the employer and there is no general rule.
Doesn't work. Too many people don't read the instructions, or do but don't follow them, not matter how much big, red, bold, flashing text tricks you use.

The only reliable way around it we've found with our clients is to be dickish with SLAs: insufficient information means the SLA clock stops dead. No error code/message details, no SLA, and I can & do take my merry time (if I ever get around to looking at that ticket instead of the many that do have sufficient information).

Though it helps that our large clients always knock down support costs by refusing to pay for first-line support because "our internal helpdesk can do that" so they should be performing at least minimal triage. It might not wash in other environments.

The really irritating part is when they seem to do their level best to avoid giving any specific details:

Them: some users are having a problem with a form

Us: which users? Could you name at least some, and if any don't have the problem name at least one of them. And which form? And do they get a specific error?

Them: Actually it is quite a few users.

Us: which users? Could you name at least some, and if any don't have the problem name at least one of them. And which form? And do they get a specific error? Is the problem loading information or saving it? IF the latter does any of the data save despite the error?

Them: More users are now reporting the error.

Us: which users? Could you name at least some, and if any don't have the problem name at least one of them. And which form? And do they get a specific error? Is the problem loading information or saving it? IF the latter does any of the data save despite the error?

Lather, rince, repeat, until I state something like "we've tried with several user types and several forms in our test services, and can't reproduce the problem, unless you can produce the details requested we'll have to close the ticket as "can not reproduce", at which point they get shirty about us not being helpful but do provide the information requested.

Yes, I can often work out exactly what is going on from various exception logs, and sometimes to just to get the buggers off my back so I can get on with something more useful and interesting, but I resent having to dig for details that it would take almost no effort for them to provide either up front or after my initial request for clarification. IT isn't just "lay users" either, it is often people who really really should know better. IF you find yourself on the other side of this equation: give all the detail you can FFS, help us help you (countpoint: only give us facts, don't guess or otherwise make shit up).
Your comment is unpopular because it doesn't bring anything of value to the conversation. I'm not really sure what you want to say, or why you think that a thread about the death of Nick Sand is the right place to say it.

All you do is make grand, unsourced claims such as calling LSD "an objectively useless and destructive drug" followed by preemptive insults on anybody who'd dare to respond. You should work less on trying to sound clever and more on actually saying clever things.

If you're looking for a replacement for node, I'd take a much deeper look at Elixir/Erlang than Rust (first up at least). You get easy concurrency, full functional language, good libraries (Phoenix is a great web framework), stability etc. Rust looks super cool, but there are high-level languages which can also offer good web performance.

I had the same thought!
First of all, the article is from 2010. TEP only started the year prior, and the city/state did not have the metrics to publish. Now they do.

I think merit pay (or just higher pay) and high demands are too different things, and the latter often destroys the benefit of the former

I have to respectfully disagree, and I don't think you truly believe that given your 2nd to last paragraph. Following the logic, more money -> more competition for that employer -> employer can have greater selectivity in hiring people who can handle higher demands. Also, TEP is largely if not entirely exempt from lengthy union due process in dismissing underperforming teachers.

This was as good a lab experiment as you'll get in educational research, and the empirical data simply was not positive. There is legitimate discussion to be had about potentially improving the model - there are even legitimate arguments NOT to improve the model but run it on its own merits for moral reasons if people like it - but we cannot use a data-driven philosophy and then let our eagerness to disprove the null hypothesis lead us to ignore the data point.
And what exactly is wrong with women choosing to have an abortion? Not every child is adopted. Our planet is grossly overpopulated. Abortions are more humane.
I agree with you in principle, but I think the problem is more one of scale than of complexity theory.

Sure the clique problem is hard to approximate in arbitrary graphs, but the graphs that appear in social networks are far from arbitrary. And indeed, in such scale free networks the clique problem becomes quasi polynomial or polynomial (http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-642-35261-4_6...). Approximate solutions are also much easier to find.

On the other hand, the sheer size of Facebook's social graph means that anything other than streaming algorithms or local search is pretty much intractable. That makes solving these kinds of problems into interesting engineering challenges.
2) would be awesome. If for example our hydrologists could easily take their extensive domain knowledge and experiment with layer of deep learning on top of that without having to go though the "high priests" that can only be a good thing in my mind.

I might be very much an oddity among programmers, but I genuinely believe that the more 'programming' that can be done by non-programmers, who actually understand the domain they are trying to model, the better. If nothing else it would free up more time for programmers to work on actual hard problems where they have more to contribute.
