No this is the incorrect answer. Mixers congest the network and cause many unneeded fees and they are NOT future proof and do NOT deliver suddenly-fungible bitcoins at the other end.

Use Monero, not ZCash, not DASH with a special type of transaction, use MONERO with genuine ring confidential transactions.

I'm not against the idea of using postgres, but I have a sneaky suspicion, that you could have gotten that 30% speed benefit from MySQL, if you did some performance work on it. Or in other words, I don't feel that migrating from one relational database to another similar relational database was worth that much trouble.

Sure;

Doesn't die -- HTML being a specification in name only, there are a lot of really crazy web pages out there that render on browsers but are pathological edge cases.

Does a good job of distinguishing 'good' links from 'bad' links on a page. -- Lots of pages have links that should not be followed, some are easy they are rendered in the same color as the background (SEO black hat link juice) and others refer to crawler traps.

Crawler traps come in many forms -- Rich Skrenta created a great example one where the page generated a random number and said "%d is an interesting number" here are two more interesting numbers "%d and %d" the each link went to a new URL that ended in the number. So if you tried to crawl that site exhaustively you would fill your entire crawler cache with random number pages.

Dynamic importance scaling -- you want to crawl the 'best' pages for a topic so you need to figure out a way to measure which pages are important and which aren't. This was the secret sauce of the PageRank patent Google had but it's been gamed to death by SEO types. So now you need better heuristics to understand which are the more important links to follow.

Effective crawl frontier management - for every billion pages you decide to crawl there are probably 20 to 50 billion pages you "know about". These URIs that are known but not yet crawled are referred to as the 'crawl frontier'. Picking where to go looking in the crawl frontier to find useful new pages is half art and half good machine learning.

Good algorithmic de-packing -- many many pages today are generated algorithmicly from a set of rules, whether it is the product pages on Amazon or posts in a PHP forum, if you can recognize the algorithm early, you can effectively avoid crawling pages that are duplicates or not useful.

Good page de-duping -- There is a lot of repetition on the web. Whether it is the 'how to sign up' page of every PHPBBB site ever or the same product with 10 different keywords in the URI.

Selective JS interpretation -- sometimes the page exists in the JS code, not in the HTML code, so unless you want to store 'this page needs Javascript enabled to run' into your crawler cache you need to recognize this situation and get the page out of the Javascript.

That's just off the top of my head.
Clojure.spec has spread like wildfire and is offering tools to combat some of what you say. Goes further than type systems on some things. Is also amazing for generative testing.

Considering that Kubernetes doesn't modify the kernel, this issue sounds like is present in mainline and kernel devs should be involved.

I like that the author decided to take a different approach to thinking about electron, but his argument that everything is fine for him on his macbook that has 16gb of ram seems rather weak. Many users may have more economic laptops that have a realistic 4 - 8 gb of ram. If he were to try using a dev machine with specs more along those lines, I would be more willing to agree with him.
This was posted to the Facebook Pi group a few days ago: https://thepi.io/how-to-watch-netflix-on-the-raspberry-pi/

It seems like someone packaged up Chromium with Widevine already installed, and then provided instructions for changing the agent string to something appropriate. The post is under a month old, and it came up in a discussion about a couple of alternate Linux distros for the Pi that are trying to make their name based on Netflix compatibility.
One thing I would have liked to have seen addressed in the article is whether the new architecture requires additional hardware (presumably) to operate and if so how much more.

Yes! You can run x86 Chrome and run Netflix on RPi. But Netflix is still a little bit laggy :(
It's a nice feature for companies where they share numbers and/or even individuals with services like Google Voice.
Mostly true, but they have built new highrise towers in Brooklyn. I am probably living in the most convenient building in the US right now, with lots of amenities in a very comfortable 1bdrm. The problem is it's still $3400/mo+ and all the buildings are rentals, no buying, and most of all this is not sustainable for us as a couple who plan to have kids so we have to jump ship.

It's also very true that so many Americans are willing to put up with NYC because there's not many other options for proper cities in the US. The public transportation sucks and there's now a divide where everyone I know seems to be grabbing Uber to work which is totally ridiculous and irresponsible.

I understand what you are saying, but really don't think that suspicious causality is what the article is about at all. It's about selection bias. (not the same as causality)

Indeed after reading the article I feel it is generally well written and compelling. However the contrived teacher union scenario is a big distraction for me as I was reading the article hoping that issue would be addressed and it wasn't. It would have been much stronger without this gaping logic hole introduced in the beginning.

> Free speech as a concept (or a spectrum) exists independently of its codification in our Constitution. It's not something the founders accidentally wrote down and now we're stuck with it: they did it for a reason that some people (myself and the parent comment included) find compelling in contexts other than simply "when the Constitution forces us to".

Yes, but the reason was intimately connected to their view of the role of government and the liberty people should have with respect to the application of their own voice and property. Restraining that liberty to compel those who own mechanisms of communication to be neutral rather than applying their own discretion is in tension with that ideal.

There's certainly a case for such compulsion as part of the regulation of monopoly providers without meaningful substitute as a communication mechanism, and there is certainly cause for some focussed regulation for public accommodations in general, in any field. But those are exceptional cases.
We will hopefully support ZCash in the future. But, unfortunately, we don't right now. I am a member of the ZCash forum, though. I have been keeping a close watch on the project/coin and am very impressed with it. I don't know anything about Monero. I either hadn't heard of it before or just didn't give it any attention after seeing it because of the flood of coins lately. Thanks for the pointer and endorsement of it - I will take a look at it when I have a chance.
Well, why does it have to involve privacy? A camera on a marsh with thousands of hours of footage could be useful data (has bird, doesn't have bird? Water level? Cloud cover?)

A tollgate recording vehicle pass-through with a timestamp, a train station gate recording individual pass-through with a timestamp, etc, with huge volume could be useful data.
Those are all really nice things for the Bay itself, but they aren't the way to fix things, they are just band-aids.

If you really wan't to fix it, call your legislator and tell them to get rid of Prop 13. It's not commonly known for transplants to the Bay, but property taxes only get re-assessed upon sale of the property in California. They do not get reassessed every 5 years or so, like in most states (read the wiki article for more info, and yes, what I said is not exactly true, things get complicated very quickly, but I think the gist of what I said was true)

My folks in the East Bay paid ~70k for the house in about 1970. Their monthly taxes are under $200 and they paid off the mortgage a few decades ago. Their new neighbors paid ~1 million for the exact same 3 bed/1 bath but just filled with black mold. We estimate they pay ~2.5k/month in taxes, let alone the mortgage (likely ~6.5k/month total with electricity, water, sewer, etc. every month, for the rest of their lives).

We're using helm, but that was chosen mostly based on gut feel. It's an official project, and has momentum. We didn't want to spend too much time choosing a tool until we knew our requirements, and we don't really have a firm grasp of requirements until we've used something for a while. It seems to be working well for us so far, but it's still early.

There are lots of answers here that aren't helm, so I'm curious if there are any particular reasons that people ruled out helm?

But the author isn't sea-lioning, you're the only one doing it. @civilian explains why in a followup comment. Sea-lioning yourself reflects badly on you and makes it hard to take your other comments seriously. You admit half your comments here are troll comments, so why should readers take your other comments seriously?

> I even explicitly pointed out that I was doing it

It's not clear to anyone reading the thread. You never explicitly point out you are doing so.
Most of our cases have been standby servers having corrupted WAL files, to be discovered only when the master has had a physical disk crash or similar.

After a few tough lessons like that we've put monitoring in place for ensuring that the standby and/or PITR servers have testing in place e.g. PITR servers must have uninterrupted WAL sequences.

Most Postgres corruption (on a master) actually happens due to dodgy hardware, but we don't really use bad hardware. In cases where we used VM's we've suspected something fishy in VMWare itself. In one case we suspected the SAN that the VMWare host was using.

So mostly not Postgres' fault. There were however some known replication bugs in the 9.x versions that were quite nasty. I think those bugs have now all or mostly been fixed, so 9.6 and 10 (beta) onwards are extremely stable.

But the risk of HW issues still remain as the biggest reason for postgres corruption.

I cannot emphasize enough how important backups are (both standby servers and PITR) and also to verify that these are indeed valid for that day when you're going to need to use them.

All of that enters the realm of the highly subjective, with some parts I may agree with and other I don't. I, for example, definitely didn't enter this field because of the money. Other people I know did. I certainly cannot generalize to large groups of people. I disagree with your observation about "some men" and "women", or rather, I'd say "what happens is that some men are willing (and some, like me, are not) and some women aren't", and furthermore, I'd question whether this is a desirable state of things. I happen to think working long hours is crap, and something that needs to change (and the reason I find startups unattractive).

What matters here is that, with the right incentives, women can be as successful as men in this field. Note that the converse is also true. This automatically destroys the notion that there is some kind of biological (or inherent, whatever) impediment for women, which is what the memo was fundamentally about.
You could get a second mortgage and use it to buy REITs. (In CA funding YIMBYs would be more productive.)
I am not sure I get it. If I am Ford and get access to GMs Salary database or factory electrical meter, do I win much? It's almost certain I know the ballpark frommrunning my own factory and probably have hired three of GMs managers with detailed knowledge in their heads last week.

Or is it more hedge funds - like satellite images of Walmart car parks to estimate the revenue figures?

Either way these don't seem like things we need AI to pick out patterns ?

Or am I missing something?
I think you're making some pretty big assumptions here. For starters, she was hired 2 months ago. Has she even had time to put any new programs in place yet? Second, you're assuming that whatever she did at Intel, she's intends (and will be able) to do the same at Google.

Presumably the programs Damore criticizes in his memo have been around for a long time. Do any of those involve the use of quotas?
My use case for `chattr +i`: an rsync backup, on a cronjob, into an external drive mounted at a given point. Make the mountpoint directory `+i` so that the root-run rsync doesn't blindly fill up your root filesystem with the backup target, if it gets run while the external drive isn't mounted.
Oh you didn't get the memo... He's LITERALLY the same. The media told me so.
That is not how Westchester is. I would love to live in Westchester or Hudson Valley towns. The problem is due to shitty trains, the commutes are far too long.

Look at a town like Beacon NY. Beautiful place with ridiculously cheap real estate.

If we had high speed trains we could link these cities to NYC for daily commuting and it would pay for itself with increased property values.

There's so much value being lost and inconvenience beared by us because of shitty government.
Draw.io releases open source desktop versions
Two additional points are (1) dataset collection is low variance relative to fundamental algorithmic advances, and (2) dataset collection relies less on having tip-top research talent (than fundamental algorithmic advances).
Not only is there a question of where to draw the line, but also of who draws it.
That's one kind of encouragement, sure, but not the only one. I'm not even arguing money is necessarily the best reason. All I need to show is a refutation of the notion that there is some kind of biological/inherent impediment for women to be successful at tech.

PS: for that matter, my personal experience -- coming from a family of scientists who aren't rich, and which includes my mom -- is that there are other factors at play beyond money. Note I don't live in the US.

You should take a look at Deis Workflow.

I say this in spite of the fact that it was announced last week[1], the next release of Deis Workflow will be the last (under the current stewardship, and probably under that name.)

It's just such a solid system, I would even more strongly recommend the (already EOL'ed early last year)[2] Deis v1 PaaS, except that you've already indicated you're moving to K8S, and Deis v2 is designed for K8S. I still recommend the v1 PaaS for people learning about principles of HA clusters. (Another disclosure: I have published[3] about how to do this, a work on how to do a cheap HA cluster using Deis v1 PaaS.)

I have a strong suspicion that Deis will live on after March under stewardship of new leadership from the community.

In the mean time, you have roughly 6 months of support from Microsoft, maybe I am overstating to say that they have committed to keeping the lights on for that long, but they have committed to merging critical fixes for that long (and we hope that in 6 months, Kubernetes will have solidified enough that we don't have to worry too much about breaking changes from upstream release mongers anymore.)

Personally I don't buy commercial support and it would not be the deal maker or breaker for me.

The point seems to be that this isn't expected behavior in most people's minds, and that if someone truly wants to allow users to write to a directory, but not allow them to delete a file, that file must be flagged immutable. Just a quirky edge cases that people might not know about.
I agree, it's just that there isn't any immediate action you can take to get Prop 13 reform, whereas each of the things above is something concrete you can do right now to help the issue. If and when we get a Prop 13 ballot issue then yeah, I'll do a big call to action on it.

Puppeteer automates headless / visible Chrome today. However, the foundational way it does this is through DevTools Protocol. I believe it might be browser agnostic in time to come. There are various (some successful, some failed) adapters for bridging DevTools Protocol to IE, Edge, Firefox, Safari etc. So I really do think supporting cross-browsers is not an impossibility.

But resonated with your point that there are just so much codebase / automation assets already written. Usually exploring new tools happens when a new project happens, rather than recoding entirely an existing project. For the existing code base, unless contributors from the community writes a parser to translate those to Puppeteer API?
No one said force but you. I am complaining about a problem and you are offering a solution, associating it with me, then criticizing it. Believe it or not, there is more than one way to solve a problem.

I went with Fastmail for catchall because since the last time I checked (about a month ago) they still didn't support it fully. I hope they do support it fully in the future as I'd seriously consider switching.
Of course, this is not true. Plenty of harms have been shown, particularly based on past history. But these are dismissed as things that couldn't possibly happen again. Which means that the objections will only be accepted when it's too late.

My plan was to set my camera up on a tripod facing my family and record our reactions and the transition into and out of darkness on the landscape behind us. I'm not sure how good my dslr does at transitioning exposure on it's video mode so it might turn out useless, but I figure it's got a chance of being interesting.
Great response, thank you. Seems mostly replication-related, which admittedly I haven't delved into much. I've used postgres to hold a lot of data, but haven't gotten to the point where it needed to scale out yet. This is great to know for when that starts to be a concern. I'll definitely heed your advice on backups (already do them, but could put more automation into verifying they work).
