1. I'm not sure what you are reffering to in terms of latency variance. What variances are you referring to?

2. We measure from the moment that we ingest the message to when the message is done being processed. If a Wallarooa application was receiving data over TCP and sending out new data also over TCP, it would be from the time that we read in the data to when we write the message out onto the outgoing socket. If a message were to be filtered and not creaye any output then the end point would be once its filtered.

3. We currently use TCP between nodes. The latency that gets added with a network hop in part depends on how much traffic is going over that hop. If you were processing a couple hundred thousand messages or so a seond, that additional latency is general 500 micros to 2 milliseconds.

4. I suppose. I don't believe anyone has tried.

The metrics that we provide include not just end to end latencies but also the amount of time spent in a given computation, going over a given network hop and similiar insight.

Wallaroo has a fairly low overhead so most time in an application is spent in user computations (the latency of which Wallaroo can't control) and any network hops.

Thank you!
Ironically all of you are making judgements based on appearance.

Great, more half-baked "self-driving" that will get people killed.

Use the technology where it can actually save lives, like in auto-braking systems in case of accidents, and so on -- not in "autopilot" entertainment/showing-off systems where the driver is supposed to keep an eye on the road at all times anyway.

Quite a few of the advices can be summarized to:

Say "no" when something feels wrong.

This implies that you can say "no"

- emotionally (you don't feel bad about it and you don't fear missing out)

- economically (you don't need that money)

Yes, the developer has never tested their app and if they would "just" make the difficult-to-implement code bullet proof, then there would be no need for a refresh button. facepalm (for the hard of thinking, I am sarcastically disagreeing)

ICO Investments: What Are the Biggest Risks and Prospects of ICO?
I agree. I hope they get it all sorted out and start deleting some intermediate docs from the internet. And core is fine and all, for data center usage where watts matter, and to run in Linux, but as someone writing enterprise solutions, switching operating systems would be a huge waste of effort. I’m happy to run on the framework, but I’m constantly having to battle developer sentiment that we should “be ready to run .NET on Linux” that comes from all the Core propaganda.

Rewriting framework and standard libraries — I’m sure that will be nice after a while, but I’ll sit this transitional phase out.
Surely refresh is just kill for web-apps? The app's state is discarded, the code is reloaded and it re-requests the data. I don't see the differentiation Tim is implying.

It is a tell that it only appears to be aligned and actually is not. (Among my preferences is to not buy/use apple devices for a variety of reason: overpriced, battery life, short life expectency, lack of control and vendor lock-in, having to unlearn 3 decades of muscle memory, etc.)

Where there is vendor lock-in there is no possibility for freedom and freedom requires privacy. Apple has a long history of being the king of vendor lock-in.

My understanding is that apple does not protect privacy, it merely does not disregard it as effectively as the other big players because apple is different in the sense that its business is selling hardware.

Just look at what the posted page actually says: it presents touch id as secure despite being repeatedly shown otherwise, it pretends a complex passcode is secure but it will not protect your privacy when someone is asking you the code with a hammer.
It phrases things in a way to induce the reader into thinking apple does not gather data about users: "Apple doesn’t gather your personal information to sell to advertisers or other organizations." which actually means Apple gather your personal information to exploit themselves and to give away or trade with third parties.
And so on...

Being better than the worst does not mean it's good enough.
They lost all credibility when they said Facebook and Google collect 99% of all revenue growth. Which is designed to be as deceptive as possible.

An aircraft carrier can't turn on a dime but when it does finally turn around it's a f-ing aircraft carrier and it means business.

We'll see how it works out.

I think the article misses the main point. Lindner's FDP might have gotten better results than in past elections, but it's not that most other people decry them for their "startup values".

The more common thing is this age-old quip of lumping the conservatives (color: black) and the liberals (color: yellow) together (as they reigned when Kohl was Chancellor) - as "Schwarz-Geld" (Which is a pun on Schwarz-Gelb, i.e. black-yellow)

So yes, my personal standpoint as a well-off software developer is: I can't in good conscience vote for the FDP until my salary improves by like 50% - then I'd see myself in their voters market. (e.g. tax cuts for buying a house, etc.)

There's always been a tiny part of the FDP advocating most of the stuff that the CCC also stands for, i.e. freedom of information, privacy, digital, etc.pp - but it's really miniscule imho.

So much for my monthly FDP bashing - because it's the party I'd love to like, but just can't.

Off-topic, I thought the title was referring to the Wizardy video game: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wizardry:_Proving_Grounds_of_t...

When my family bought our first PC in 1981, Wizardry was the first computer game I played. My father taught himself assembly by writing a utility to edit bytes on a 5.25" floppy drive. I used his program to cheat and boost the scores of the characters in my party, and I still wasn't able to beat the game. Wizardry is not an easy game.

Back on topic, I was in college when Doom came out, and I was as blown away as everyone else was by the graphics. The performance and playability of Doom didn't seem like it should have been possible on my Intel 80386 with 4Mb of RAM. So "wizardry" is a fair term for what Carmack and Id accomplished.
Actually the onus is on the OS to entice people to code for it.

That's exactly what I meant by "dedicated expression parser".

(Not sure why you name it "matcher", though. Please be aware that a regex-based matcher will almost certainly fail for that task. You usually want a grammar, i.e. parser, which is more powerful, and shorter, and easier to read and to verify.)

Anything marketed "cloud" is a privacy liability. Using this defeats the whole privacy issue raised here.

an opaque process of decision-making (complete with several non-official-bodies, non-accountable to anyone, that nevertheless convene and take decisions that affect all member states)

Can you specify what you mean by this?
Non-tech until you start getting asked tech questions. When you're selling something you're trying to persuade your user that it's going to save them money, make them money, or get them laid.

As a technical person who's often in an advisory position on purchase decisions once the sales process has advanced a bit, I'll usually want to visit your website for the info I need. There I'm looking for a clear list of features (which shouldn't be an initial selling point but can be a differentiator or dealbreaker late in the decision making process, if your product doesn't do something I consider important or if I notice another way it could save us time or add capabilities). Then I'll go read your documentation on APIs and integrations.

I'm seldom interested in what tech is under the hood of a SaaS product; and my non-tech colleagues never are. I want to know that it does what I need from it; it's stable; I can integrate with it/customize it easily and thoroughly. I also need to have confidence that you're not going to either expose my data to the world or run out of runway in 6 months and go out of business, leaving me hanging.

It can't do much legally. If Apple was serious about protecting privacy it would move operation to a different place where law actually still offers some privacy protection.
re:

> Immediately I sense that if wallaroo labs goes bankrupt / is bought - the open source system can potentially become impossible to run legally in production [ed: for new installations] ...

You raise an interesting point. We'd be dealing with that with clients on a case by case basis of providing them with whatever assurances that they need should Wallaroo Labs disappear. However, we don't have anything stating that anywhere.

The expectation that our lawyers had was that no company would sign a boilerplate contract so issues of "what happens if the company goes away" would be handled the agreement between us and that company.

The basic story behind the custom license:

1- Outside of RedHat, there aren't a lot of companies who have shown you can build a successful growing business selling support.

2- We didn't want to have an open source product and a closed source commercial offering. We wanted anyone to be able to modify any of the code as they needed. We wanted to grant more rights than you normally see with open core projects.

3- We want to allow smaller companies to be able to use Wallaroo and all its features, thus the "free up to X" for enterprise features.

This boils down to:

1) we don't think you can have a sustainable business as the primary developers of a infrastructure project where the model is selling support.

2) we want to make all source available and grant rights beyond what you would see with most open-core projects.
Show HN: React Native progress-bar, give your progress-bar some brand style
As parent said, it's usually a very good idea to check for time delay and ensure it "makes sense" before doing anything destructive. Doesn't cost much, can save a lot, and adding a command switch to bypass it allows to skip the "haven't booted in a couple week and now everything refuses to run" problem.

A much more common case of when such a check help is "last time run is in the future", that you face every time there is a clock issue. Some scripts... Don't react too well about that.
No, they're third party apps (e.g. https://1blocker.com/). But the interesting thing about these Content Blockers is that they don't actually get to inspect anything. They just hand off a list of rules in an official declarative format, which Safari itself then takes care of matching and applying.

Even though this article resonates with me, I think it portrays everything much too glamorous. I wish the subjects described were the only source of problems. I suspect that in reality, most mistakes have quite 'simple' causes. Some observations:

- By putting an abstraction layer in between, people visually creating applications, the problem is pushed to the layer below and new problems will be introduced.

- Supporting intricate, bespoke functionality in a visual environment will be incredibly hard and error-prone.
- If you have trouble thinking about how your software will run, you should run it on a computer instead of your brain. I.e. continuous builds, debuggers and sandboxes.

- Pushing for deadlines and using prototypes as production software is part of this.

- Those millions of lines of codes usually include a number of Linux kernels.

- Before getting to all the fancy stuff and visions about the future, why not first:

--- Get all software unit tested / test driven.

--- Get all software functional tested / behaviour driven.

--- Use domain driven techniques to close the gap between 'reality' and code.

--- Create truly comprehensive tests and testing environments for areas that matter.
The general phenomenon is the "Backward-S Shaped Supply Curve", and yes, I mention the Dust Bowl instance (from Egan via Burns's PBS series) sepecifically. There are others.

https://redd.it/53mcxn

You'll see this phenomenon any time an economic agent (individual person, labour market, farmer, extractive resource operator) has some inflexible and fixed minimum set of costs to maintain or they will go out of existence, vs. some variable production function or market price structure.

It's similar with the general aviation phenomenon of "failure to maintain altitude". Aircraft fly fairly well through air. Performance characteristics through land or water are rather less optimal.

Yeah, we decided our original plan for April was too aggressive. We believe in "put it out there before you are comfortable releasing" but in the end, we decided April was too soon. We have a long roadmap of features, improvements and what not that we want to do with Wallaroo. When we looked at where we were in April, we decided that we needed to execute on more of that roadmap before putting it out and getting feedback from folks.

Thanks for the congrats.

If anyone is interested in a taste of what that might be like, the recent game "Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice" is very impressive. It's basically a psychosis simulator, developed under heavy consultation from a group of patients that suffer from psychosis/delusions.

Similar to how you mentioned it's not just the hallucinations, the game does things like using "find the perspective that makes those logs look like a rune/glyph" to prime/encourage the plater to see potential "deeper meanings". Headphones are required, because binaural recording techniques are used very heavily to e.g. place voices in specific locations "in" and around your head.

Warning: this recommendation includes a very strong trigger warning re: grief, mental and physical abuse, and (obviously) the very graphic realities of severe psychosis and other mental health issues.

He did not left as much as been kicked out. Then again he did not engrained privacy but obsession with control into the company. Apple wanting to be in control of every aspect of everything means better apparence of privacy compared to the usual share with third party for profit.
The explanation is that the usual is for services based on software who have nothing to sell while apple sells devices.
