From https://tuleap.ring.cx/plugins/mediawiki/wiki/ring/index.php... I see the following under "Ring archive (export.gz)"

> Contains private account data.

> It's a JSON compressed and encrypted file.

> The JSON byte-stream is compressed using gzip algorithm.

> Then the gzip-stream is encrypted using AES-GCM-256 symmetric cipher with a 256-bits key.

Does this compress-then-encrypt combination introduce a security weakness? It's certainly a problem on the Web, since attackers can learn what's in an encrypted response by getting the server to insert their own strings; e.g. trying the same request many times with different query strings, and seeing which ones result in smaller responses, indicating that the given query string matches somewhere in the document.

It would require the attacker to be able to get their own strings in the payload, but since this JSON contains things like contact info that might be possible.

I don't even use Elm. I have literally zero vested in Elm, just a passing interest.

This is just the reality. He created Elm to use. If others find it useful, great, but why he would he get bogged down in discussing the minutia that always arise in such communities?

Use his work, fork it, or move on. He's clearly not interested in the types of discussions you're interested in having. Why is that wrong?

Maybe it's less than ideal if you want to grow a big community, but again, maybe that's not his goal. He just wants to use it, remember?

I recommend Scott Manley's tutorials on youtube. Even though many of them are for older versions of KSP, they are still great to get you started. If you are willing to spend a bit, there is a great book that covers a lot of ground in KSP:

It's perfectly okay to use inequality as a personal motivator like you do, but it doesn't follow that inequality is a good thing. What you may find gives you drive might crush others, who would otherwise lead a fulfilling life in which they grow into their innate talents and enrich the life of the people they interact with.

I personally strongly disagree that one wouldn't try to improve one's life unless forced to by difficult circumstances. I think we have sufficient evidence that humans are innately curious and creative, and find self-fulfillment in pursuing their curiosity, discovering new things, and otherwise "improving."

It's actually fascinating to me that you have the view of human nature that you do. I don't think this is the right thread to discuss this, but in general I'm very eager to explore that further.

Thanks! Perl 6 I've genuinely never looked at, my feeling is that it is still very much a work-in-progress.

When it is out "for real" I'll look, but I get the impression switching from Perl5 -> Perl6 is probably comparable to switching to golang, or similar.

Maybe it helps if I explain better. I find it difficult to use immutable structures if I want certain performance characteristics. It's possible I need more training in certain techniques, but I think that's why I find it difficult, the default data structures and introductory literature seems to be too naive. And in the end, no matter what I use, there will be certain trade offs for purely immutable structures, and some stuff I just think it's easier to think about in mutable terms.
That's true, except for the fact that Matrix and XMPP are also distributed. What I really meant is that it uses a DHT for peer discovery and that the peers communicate directly, without using any central server. It is more distributed and more decentralized.

Is "mass adoption by non-tech users" the goal? There are plenty of FOSS projects out there, like Apache, GCC, etc. which are presumably unusable for non-tech users (by definition: if you can use Apache and GCC, you probably count as technical). It doesn't hinder those projects at all, and there are also a bunch of "user friendly" projects which rely on those as key pieces of infrastructure (e.g. many Web sites, and many native executables like games).

Also, as always, the nice thing about FOSS is that anyone is Free to contribute or fork/contribute their own improvements and services, either within the project or alongside, either to scratch an itch or to commercially exploit a niche.
The most important question: will it carry Big Daddy and the other cheat units?! (see e.g. http://www.mogelpower.de/cheats/Age-of-Empires_PC_32.html)
That's fair. I think it depends on the person. I don't want to squeeze work out of every last second, but I'd rather do something I enjoy when I'm not working, like reading or emailing friends. I still cook a few times per week, but I don't feel like I get a lot out of it, so I'd rather do leisure activities that I enjoy.
I guess nothing prevents you from doing so :)

For one, many of the translations are just terribly wooden.

But Russian is also very hard to translate to English, for several reasons; it's a heavily idiom-based language, full of common phrases (that every Russian knows) that an author can turn into puns or allusions. If the translator chooses to rewrite using the equivalent English idiom, the original meaning may be lost; whereas if it's translated literally, the reader won't know that it's a common saying that the author has subverted. The same thing goes with words that have multiple meanings, where the ambiguity itself resonates within the phrasing, or where the word has historical subtext or whatever.

But translators also often get stuff wrong. Plenty of people have pointed out very clear errors in the Pevear-Volokhonsky translations that are based on misunderstandings of the original text. Bulgakov also frequently writes on several levels (there's a lot of subtext and humour), and it's often hard to replicate the intended meaning, so translators end up with something that isn't quite right. Here [1] is some discussion with concrete examples.

I'll write two answers. This is a description of the infrastructure.

Our base environment (we have several) has 4 servers, 2 of whom are used for the app servers and load balancers, and 2 for data stores and queue processors.

Each server is the typical (as someone in this thread named) "8k" server (a bit more costly, actually).
Generally speaking, the servers are significantly overprovisioned.

There are a couple of factors that made the conversion to AWS cheap (~20+).

The first is that the base unit of a metal server is very large (1 server). Although it's cheap to scale vertically, scaling horizontally, for HA purposes, is expensive, because it costs at least 2 units.

For example, the total power of our app servers is overprovisioned in the 20x range (CPU and memory are cheap, right?). Even with minimal speccing, a metal server still costs around 3/4k, you need 2, that's 6/8k.

In AWS, we can work with very small units. So maybe we end up paying the same amount, but we don't need that excessive power, and, crucial, we have networking for free (or almost).

The second factor is networking and hosting costs, which are not trivial. We rent managed firewalls and load balancers, which in AWS are for free or almost.

Also, it's important to spread the servers cost over the time - any metal server won't last forever. If you buy one for 9.6k, it's 100$ a month for 8 years. When it breaks, HA goes temporarily out of the window until it gets fixed (or you buy a new one, or you move services around).

The big pain point of AWS [for us] is RDS, which is madly expensive. It accounts for something like 50% of our AWS costs.

A very gross estimation of the monthly costs of each metal server could be:

- 80$: server
- 80$: hosting
- 80$: managed networking

For 4 servers, that's almost 1000$. Adding 20%, with a budget of 1200$, with AWS, we have a less powerful but also correspondingly less wasteful infrastructure, with lots of baked-in functionality (including, more flexible HA).

Eh? The shuttle absolutely was a rocket. The 'spaceplane' bit only kicked in for landings. On the way up it was 100% reaction mass driven.
It would have been nice if there had been some kind of indication of the cross-posting, but this looks more like simple copy-pasting than a spambot. HN voting can absolutely handle that. (Have you you noticed the recent spam campaign about oh so easy ways to make money working from home? Probably not, if you don't have showdead on.)
Ask HN: Security cameras for a rented home?
So, our neighborhood has had a rash of thefts in the recent weeks and we have some upcoming vacations. I'd like to get a system of Wifi cameras setup for the house with a DVR recorder. I despise IoT in general, especially with regards to security, so I'm hoping the HN community can steer me towards a brand or particular model to go for?

I was also looking at the open source project ZoneMinder as a way to run the DVR portion. I'm not afraid of a little work, I've got plenty of time clocked into Linux, so either just the cameras or cameras + DVR would be good by me.

Only real requirement: It is a duplex we rent, so it has to use wireless cameras.

Thanks

See my comment above. Some additional comments:

- Optimizing EQ is probably far more valuable for society.

- I am not sure that EQ can be optimized for in genetics as easily as IQ can.

- On an individual level, putting a child on the right side of their potential IQ curve will probably make their lives easier or better assuming that relatively few of their peers have this same advantage.

- If every child is on the right side of their potential IQ curve, then optimizing IQ will largely just be a different state for society rather than a noticeable improvement. Most (all?) improvements would likely be seen on the high end in terms of theoretical developments.

- Note that if this switch is somehow flipped in a society, I personally believe that there will be a huge EQ intergenerational crisis such that EQ will be valued even more.

GP's point is that the vast majority of people do not.

Heck, the vast majority of tech-inclined people I know don't. And the uninitiated? I'd imagine the only people who care about this outside of IT are the sort who prep armored and spiked vehicles full of canned food.

I'm not trying to deride, just saying, most people do not care about this.
Also, The Fatal Eggs, and Journal of a Young Country Doctor are fascinating reads for different reasons - the former is a scathing allegorical attack on the Soviet Union (the eggs being the ideals of communism, the things which hatch from them being the praxis), and the latter is a riveting insight into the pillories of daily life in rural soviet Russia.

Along with Bulgakov, Solzhenitsyn also offers deep insight into the soviet mindset, between his better known works (Gulag Archipelago, Cancer Ward, Ivan Denisovich) and his lesser known works (Incident at Krechetovka Station, Matryona's House).

One thing that both excelled at was getting their work published, not purely through samizdat, by making their allegorical allusions clear to those who knew what they were looking for but utterly opaque to the poorly educated soviet censors.
I always feel living in even normal appartments is a bit like living in cages (which of course I did a lot). When travelling a lot, they are great because you don't have to care about much. But an acre of land or so could always provide at least for some food in a crisis, while an apartment leaves you unprotected in the masses. Maybe it's some kind of libertarian logic that occupies my mind.

I do. I'm not saying it's not possible to reach that state. Just that there are many things I tend to find easier to think about in mutable terms. And when trying to implement immutable equivalents there are also trade offs. I don't start from the point of view that functional programming is superior and everything should be done in terms of lambda calculus and purely functional data structures. I also don't deny that is good for some, maybe many use cases.
