I've ran sites in the ~500 users per day category where MySQL and postgre use nearly nothing in resources while user interaction causes complex transactions and competing row-level locks. Sounds pretty minimal to me. Odd though that someone who values golang would want to use DB with a poor reputation for concurrency.

What do people here think of the (BSL) Business Source License? The MariaDB folks are using it for their MaxScale product. The BSL is intended to be a sustainable way to pay for open source software development. (BSL's tl;dr is that it's a proprietary license that reverts to an open source license after a period of time.)
Thank you:) Even if there's hype and critique, we can always rise above and maintain our integrity as we build things that matter.
I also recommend it. And I'm a bit sad CopperheadOS, which was an excellent more secure alternative (they had teamed up with The Guardian Project and F-Droid [1]) contains now non-open source code of their own [2].

So what's your actual threat model here? The Government decides to ban people from accessing Government services? Err... Or that some person might not be able to activate their Mobile ID for a short period of time while they sort out their ID cards?
Commuting contributes to the greenhouse gas problem, and USED to contribute to the CFC problem until an international agreement helped solve that.

Think of the waste in terms of energy. Not only has there been an explosion in population, but each person is expending more energy than ever on these things. And why?

Because economics. For one, suburban sprawl happens because commercial areas get gentrified so people choose to live farther from their job. UBI would fix a lot of this, allowing local workers to live and work near their job.

I find reduced body language and the lack of shared focal point a real problem with video. If I need to point at something on my notepad on my desk, or a whiteboard, or an object in the room, the other party can't see it. All they see is my face, and I may be looking elsewhere on the screen while they talk to me.

It also means you have to stop what you're doing, sit down and talk to your screen. I like being able to stand up, or go grab something more than a meter away, take a walk or make coffee while I talk to someone. If I vanish from sight, the other parties on the video call don't know if I'm still listening. Heck, even if you can see the person, you don't know if their sound is still working properly, so there's more "can you still hear me?" and "sorry, you cut out for a moment there, can you repeat yourself" sorts of interactions as well.

Video's a pretty bad substitute for real world face-to-face.

I can see a new grand purpose to this plan. To protect the mediterranean coast from the RAISING sea caused by global warming. Rather than each town and country trying to protect itself.

As we are finding out, power is getting cheaper and cheaper all the time, and North Africa is a great source of sun power. So the need to generate power is reduced. This would eliminate many of the objections to the plan.
About your edit,

It's Pattern => Language bug, not Language bug => Pattern. You are assuming the opposite meaning.

In other words, not all bugs are patterns but all patterns are necesarily bugs (not IMO, it's just the interpretation).
Agreed! .. perhaps they need to remain close to an elderly relative. Perhaps the schools in the work location are terrible. Perhaps you have a house that you aren't able to easily sell. Perhaps .... and on and on.

We would be well served by demonstrating compassion for others -- it's not like a majority of people can simply jump on their fixie with their Manhattan Portage bag and just enjoy a 5 minute ride to a DUMBO loft office.

I build and maintain the R stack in my organization. A good portion of the R core is written in Fortran for maximum performance and efficiency; the rest is in C and C++. Why would I want an interpreted, just-in-time, garbage collected version of R in a JVM when I can run at full speed on the real thing?
One might argue that any number of researchers could have performed the labor of testing the idea, whereas the originator of the idea itself is non-fungible.
I agree with your premise, and don't know what your medical details are, or much about liver operations in general. But sleeping outdoors is tough on the body during rainy season. The immune system has to work extra hard to fight off internal fungal infections, so depending on the nature of the operations I could see why this would be a medical problem.

Now my question is, could the hospital have tried to work something out, say with the Ronald McDonald House? Absolutely.

And further, people in SV are so short-sighted they have no problem paying their workers so little and restricting new housing that their workers can't find a place to live. I've literally had executives at my Palo Alto company bragging about their NIMBY exploits -- which is at the least insensitive considering almost non of their employees could afford to live in Palo Alto and have a decent commute.
If you use Qt and QML, you can write most (or all) of your application using JavaScript.

I was experimenting a few weeks back, and was able to put together a Hacker News reader app using only JavaScript and QML.

Granted, it was a fairly simple app; but once I knew what I was doing, the QML/JS combo didn't feel any slower to develop with than the React-based web stack I'm familiar with.
If your job is well defined it can be contracted out to a non-employee, which means another member of the gig economy, rather than a full time job with benefits. This is where the future is going. Anything that has a very strict definition of the work that can be done will be subject to automation or outsourcing. All the 'bullshit' that is left is what defines the full time job. Welcome to the future.
Ethereum has no defined use case, bitcoin is at the least a store of value. ETH is no different to LTC, NMC or any of the myriad other alt coins. You would be better asking why LTC is stagnant rather than ETH. Further ETH is an unlimited coin so it could never see the scarcity that BTC has built in to it.
This reminds me of what Linux and WINE for Linux was to MS Windows. It's a fight against a closed eco-system. I applaud them, and hope to give it a try.
Well, you could force people to pay you at gunpoint. There are plenty of options, it's just a matter of how far down the ladder of morally reprehensible alternatives you are willing to go. Actively manipulating people into wasting time to make a buck from your particular diversion-of-many by exploiting their curiosity is already low enough as far as I'm concerned.
You... prefer the version that makes everyone pay for telecommuters, rather than making only those who directly interact with non-telecommuter companies pay, and which is more open to being gamed/scammed? Why?

Something has to happen--my commute is only 11 miles but it often takes 40 minutes because of a stupid bridge that has had every social engineering plot applied to it to no avail (HOV lanes with pay-to-use transponders being the latest fashion and cops to enforce the rules slowing everyone else down).

My career has suffered because I have never wanted the stress of a long commute nor could I afford the real estate prices and city problems involved with being closer in. It's a bunch of diminishing returns every direction I look, so my solution was to just find work that was less desirable but at least manageable in the context of my whole life situation. I contend that people who don't do that eventually suffer mental breakdowns, but have no evidence to back up that claim other than conjecture.

As it stands, my current commute is still bad, but I bet it's only 10% as bad as the hell most people around here go through. I've decided that working for a living is just generally bad for health, but a necessary evil, of course. I probably sound like a whiner, but I am truly interested in the commuting problem because I work for a company that heavily promotes cycling to work and ride sharing. Unfortunately, the infrastructure between my home and my work location precludes safe cycling along much of the route so I don't do it, but a lot of employees do. Instead, I stupidly get up at 5:45am, get out the door by 6:30am or so, creep along on a stupid, dark bridge with lots of other stupid people, then arrive to work around 7am or so, depending on the breaks. At least the drive home isn't as bad as long as I'm on the road by 3:15pm or so.

I do get the occasional work from home day, but our team is highly collaborative, so I'm at a disadvantage if I'm not at the office. In previous roles I had more autonomy and could thus make a better go of remote work. I worry that 100% remote roles make you a non-entity in your organization and thus dispensable.

`@here` should really be yellow. Only direct communications red. Or something other than the current system.
Creating an app for use in China
I'm based in the UK and may have the opportunity to create an app (and api) for use in China. How do users download apps in China and will the api need to be hosted in China?

The app will display a list of events pulled down from a web based api. The api will be populated through a web interface by an admin user.
OpenStack has been mentioned here a few times which caught my eye.

Our DBA (is that still a thing most places?) has requested that we prefer Percona over MariaDB in future infrastructure roll outs. I'm currently wrestling with Percona and it seems to be a confusing mess to me. Admittedly, I'm only a casual database consumer, but I've never had problems like this with postgres

Looks pretty, anyone know how it compares to Cloudcraft[0]?

Interesting to make it a desktop application and then subscription based.

I found the pricing structure a little unnatural, though. The 5k-10k band seems quite narrow and the way the AWS spend is the first idea makes it seem a little like "we want a % cut of your AWS spend". This might well be true, I'd just be a little more delicate about it :).

It is one of the basic pillars of bitcoin that the supply is limited, it is unlikely that a fork which minted new coins would be accepted, you can create a fork but that fork is not bitcoin. 1 Bitcoin is divisible by 100,000,000.
It's trust: if people in general stop trusting Bitcoin its value will very rapidely converge to nil. Because there's nothing to back up its value, it will stay there and never recover, and will be remembered as the 21st century tulip bulb.

On the other hand take gold: as a metal, it has little practical use (compared to its availability, it's not that scarce), yet its value is still up there after several thousand years of use. Why? Because there's a consensus that it's worth something, and trust that this value will remain (and even go up) in case of war/disaster/etc. Bitcoin could be a new gold. That's highly hypothetical.

Don't invest what you cannot afford to lose.
Maybe I’m too late or too simplistic, but why do ships and aircrafts have so complex control systems in normal functioning modes at all?

Why can’t layman ship commander like me just tell the system to be “there” in specific time via hand-drawn or standard route? If my engines malfunctioning, or steering lost it is one thing, but if everything is okay, can’t a simple swipe-to-sail iphone app just coordinate all ship controls to “be there in 3m08s” in most effective way according to the safety rules?

Now it seems like all the precise counters and sensors are passed to slow, biased, narrow-focused and error-prone device that is my mind to get goal-related feedback. And this device happens to be proud of being it. As a programmer, I just can’t understand it. Do commanders quickly solve unsolvable differential equations in realtime or what?

Yes. Renjin isn’t even a complete implementation of R and I don’t believe that a Java JIT will ever beat Fortran in performance. I’d sure like to see some evidence of JIT R beating the Fortran implementation. And then there is the memory inefficiency of Java. So again I ask: why?

As someone who has been a developer of virtual worlds for 17 years. I can say that this is a very incremental change, as all of the changes have been since 1994.

Personally I think we need to reimagine interfaces to the world around us, even the virtual worlds (VR/AR/MR) around us. Voice input, AI, hand sensing technologies could make for new ways for changing the worlds. The book Daemon by Danial Suarez and his eSpace holds much promise. I have been experimenting with those idea in a new VR world I have been working on for a few years.
`I just want a simple ha database; is that so much to ask for?`

Yep! HA (and related, CAP) necessarily comes with trade offs. Databases being our store where we expect ACID compliance adds an extra layer of needs that makes multi-master (and similar concepts) "hard AF".
Net outflow, hence the Messinian Salinity Crises that happened whenever the outflow at Gibraltar was blocked.
Well, functionally that would be the same as if you just don't grant the permission to any other app than microG. Unless you don't trust that Android's permissions work properly, but then I think you have much bigger problems.
So then what about the government revenue loss from tax credits?
Marx' view was that communism is the next stage of social-historical development after capitalism and as such is unavoidable due to build up of internal contradictions in the latter. He did envision the transition to be revolutionary and violent, however, and ensuring class struggle wasn't meant to be bloodless.

Socialism was viewed by communists as "fake news" if you will, a fad to distract oppressed working class from building a communist society. FWIW I personally don't find socialism objectionable across much of the continuum of bilateral social compromise it represents. It also seem to have defused most of the tension present in late 1800s-early 1900s.

My reply above was to the common "No True Scotsman" retort to criticisms of Communism. We have at least two societies that did sincere attempts at following tenets of Manifesto, i.e. including both elimination of proprietors and family: early Bolshevik Russia and Khmer Rouge. Internet Communists find the appalling outcome hard to advocate and instead focus on criticising the implementation.

Most jobs don't require face to face outside of physical services such as the trades or cutting hair. And the jobs that do require face-to-face -- many of them definitely don't require an office. (i.e. insurance claims adjusting -- that's a field job, so there isn't really a "commute.")

Selling insurance: not required.
Customer service for the electrical company: nope. Most of that is on the phone.
Logistics for a trucking company: also phone/computer based, no face to face (or rarely.)
Medical claims processing -- never face to face
Coordinating cable TV installation appointments: all phone or online based

If you think about it almost ALL jobs can be done remotely. I agree that most jobs still require it, but that isn't because of the nature of the job, but the lack of vision from those particular industries. Most businesses seem to operate under 19th century ideals.

I realize not everyone wants or can work from home; but I would advocate for a decentralized workplace -- remote working with perhaps small satellite offices scattered around the world -- offices that can simply pop-up at WeWork/etc. As employees in the area need/want.

Obviously a hardware company like Apple actually needs a physical space for people to build things. Same for Boeing, Tesla, etc.

But Facebook? Farmers Insurance? They don't sell anything physical.
996: Weekly Newsletter About Tech Trends in China from GGV Capital
On average, the Mediterranean basin shows an excess of evaporation over freshwater inputs and a heat loss through air-sea interaction. It has an overall freshwater deficit, as the loss to the atmosphere by evaporation is larger than the gains by precipitation and runoff from the main rivers and input from the Black Sea. The total heat budget is negative, that is, the Mediterranean Sea loses more energy than it gains. These losses of freshwater and heat are compensated by the two-layer exchange at the Strait of Gibraltar comprising a relatively warm and fresh (15.4°C, 36.2 psu) upper water inflow and a relatively cooler and saltier (13°C, 38.4 psu) outflow to the Atlantic (Bryden et al. 1994; Tsimplis and Bryden 2000). On long timescales, the losses of freshwater and heat from the surface are compensated and the net salt flux is close to zero.
