First comment of the link is an English version of the incident report.

I'm pretty amazed that the OVH down of two datacenters yesterday (SBG and RBX) seem to come from two unrelated issues. SBG's problem was electrical from 7:15am to 11:15am and RBX's was network related from 8:15am to 10:37am (cf https://twitter.com/olesovhcom/status/928592231807713280). This is a pretty big coincidence isn't it? I wouldn't be surprised if the power incident somehow caused the network incident.

Here's some details on the SBG incident: http://travaux.ovh.net/?do=details&id=28247 (English is at the very end).

Yes, taxes should effectively impose a cap on wealth, reaching 99% tax rate at some point (certainly, when you're in the billions). If a founder decides to move on because he can no longer earn a billion... well, we as a society will just have to live with that tragic loss of leadership, and hope that somebody will be brave enough to take over.

Also, I'm not confused about people agreeing to their compensation terms. That's true and not the issue, any more than royalty was "ok" because for many hundreds of years, people were ok with it.

There's a funnel that leads to one human being having over 75-million times more than another. We tolerate this today. And here in the tech world, we make apologies for it (even while many still manage to scoff at Wall St)

Anything you can save while young has the biggest impact on your future fortunes and ability to retire, or retire early

I think this is where we're not agreeing. My point is that focusing on the upside is more important than focusing on the downside. Making more allows you to save more.

I don't think retiring by cutting costs is a great goal, especially for someone with decades left to live.

But you may disagree and that's OK. I don't have any interest in convincing people to move to the Bay Area!

I think I'm one of the more pessimistic and conservative people in Silicon Valley, but still I believe in focusing on the upside, and I believe in a dynamic world where things that are true now won't be true in 5 years.

The decision-making process that I intuit from your posts seems like more of a static model of the world. For a young person, your skillset can and must change! You can learn things that will earn you more money!
When I was young I have been told that your rent should not more than 1/3 of your income. This was meant as a rule of thumb. Also this would apply for the majority of people. If you make 10 million a year and pay 5 million on rent you probably still have enough left to get by.

I haven't seen any citizenship restrictions, though usually there is a "you must live here at least X years or repay the benefits" restriction.

Edit: If you mean culturally, I really can't imagine any problems as long as you're friendly, respectful, and speak the language. I've lived in some fairly remote places and never had an issue; a lot of people in my experience are pretty hands-off -- even if they don't like you, they don't bother you unless you bother them.
The OpenStreetMap project changed the licence of the data a few years ago (for Complicated Reasons™). People had to be contacted and ask to relicence their data, and eventually some data had to be deleted.

There is now a Contributor Terms¹ which governs how the licence can be changed. It requires a two thirds majority of active contributors (at least one change in at least 3 of the last 12 months, a working email address and replies to an email within 3 weeks) to approve a change to an "other free and open licence".

That's a good way to change licences like that.

I wasn't intending to be patronizing, but I can take that as a fair criticism.

I have indeed experienced it up close and personal. My experience is that there is no magical "shaving X number of years off the end of your life". It doesn't work like that, unfortunately. Come talk to me in 40 years when your daughter is due with her first child in a month and you don't want to live to see that. Maybe we have too different of lives to be able to empathize with each other, but I wouldn't willingly give up those years of my life if I answer the question posed with no caveats (i.e. - well, but what if I lose my mind? What if I become incontinent? Etc.)

I think that must have been common. Nobody good worked in tools. I managed a couple sunos and later solaris boxes. Userspace was a disaster. I ended up replacing it all with GNU and every piece I installed had a warning. Don't use Solaris make. Don't use solaris tar. Don't use the solaris compiler, etc. Ended up having to install gcc from binaries, then build zip, make, etc. Even tail (max 10k lines) and awk (max 16 columns or something) had issues. While debugging even xterm would die if you made it too wide.

Once you replaced the userspace with GNU + X11 the kernel was solid, although SunOS and early solaris didn't multitask well. For some workloads I'd end up disabling all but one CPU.

That's not true; it doesn't make sense to me even if it were possible to guarantee proper handling. The risk of the government abusing it's power in a completely legal way is greater than some crimes going unsolved because documents remain secret.

What matters to me is the power imbalance; with few exceptions whatever the government can do, normal people should be able to do to.

The author claims the article [1] says render props are anti-pattern, while this is not true. The only thing that's called an anti-pattern there is "children as a function". If you use properly named render prop other than children, they seem to be fine with that.

Will be good to correct that since it's pretty confusing.

> If you are an immigrant from a poor country, your social circle probably mostly consists of people coming from the same place. They won't judge you for not having expensive hobbies; it's "normal" not to have them. They are probably saving the extra money

I think you'll find that this is very cultural. Middle easterners (who aren't of minority religion status) are poor (on average, just like everywhere else), but have the opposite attitude. You won't have money, and there are large social consequences to not spending. So they drive a 20 year old mercedes, for example.

It is a cultural thing. Some places are large enough to have multiple cultures, and both people who save everything they have and people who overspend are a popular thing. Popular in the sense that there's millions of people living like that. India and China are such places.

Even starting a business by itself has cultural stigma associated with it. Starting a business, for instance, may immediately cause people to judge you (because you're "obviously" dodging taxes and therefore "stealing from them", and destined for bankruptcy or prison, is the best explanation I've heard). I've seen this attitude in Western Europe. Better to be an employee. Even better to be a "respectable" money maker like a doctor or lawyer. Starting a company will have social consequences just by itself.

And of course to some extent, you'll find both attitudes everywhere.

Getting a job as an American here is easy. Just be proficient in the language and have solid skills in your field and it's not difficult to get a good programming job that pays about $2000 a month with 25-40 hours of expected overtime.

And that's on the low side. The overtime, not the pay. I've seen job openings for ~$1600/month here and average expected overtime of 91 hours/month for one company. I've been contacted by companies offering similar.

And pay raises are pretty much based on age.

If that all sounds like an improvement over your status in America, it's easy to move over here. Pretty much all visas are approved. If that sounds bad, Japan is not a good place. For me, it was an improvement.

It’s not just propagandish. The author is straight up lying, making entirely fabricated claims about Wikileaks releases. This isn’t something you could get wrong by mistake.

>WikiLeaks has endangered individuals before, but their release of the so-called Erdogan Emails was particularly egregious. The organization said that the infodump would expose the machinations of Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan immediately after the attempted coup against him, but instead turned out to be mostly correspondence and personal information from everyday Turkish citizens. Worse, it included the home addresses, phone numbers, party affiliations, and political activity levels of millions of female Turkish voters.

This is a complete fabrication and something you would expect people to get fired for.

Wikileaks simply never published such data, and the criticism of the emails (which they actually released) is disingenious at best. Nobody attacked them like this when they released private emails of Sony or Hacking Team employees.

>WikiLeaks’ moral high ground depends on its ability to act as an honest conduit. Right now it’s acting like a damaged filter.

Here it seems like she’s suggesting that Wikileaks has been holding back stuff handed to them, I sure hope she has something to back that up!

Somehow I seriously doubt the author would’ve written a similar article had wikileaks been releasing RNC emails instead...
So if the exchange price for BTC does not drop by the same amount of the exchange price for B2X, a fork essentially means money (dollars) is generated out of nothing and given to me as the owner of now 2 coins (one of each type)?

Or in the opposite case, a fork could mean I lose money, just because somebody else decided to create fork?

Yes, but that would be throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Just because of a single operator that I'm not sure is useful in a language I'm otherwise satisfied with.

Except for parsing words, which are commonly used to change exactly this property of the syntax, no?

The fact that postfix is nice in many cases does not imply that postfix is always a good idea.

> Yet no other market seems to operate by supplying only luxury units and depending on trickle down. Why are there Corollas, instead of just more Lexuses?

Because no other market has fixed unit quotas set by the local government[1]. There's no rule about how many Lexuses and Corollas Toyota is allowed to build.

The dirty secret of the Bay Area housing market is that a lot of Lexus buyers have started buying Corollas because there aren't nearly enough Lexuses to go around. They can afford to pay Lexus prices for the Corolla, so they do.

But that means Corollas now cost as much as a Lexus. Corolla buyers can't afford that, so they start paying Corolla money for a Yaris. But now Yarises cost as much as Corollas. Yaris buyers can't afford that, so where does that leave them? They either take the bus or walk.

Building more Lexuses will stop the Lexus buyers from buying Corollas. Build enough, and you can even make this whole process run in reverse.

[1] Actually, there was. The US government threatened Japan with trade sanctions unless Japanese manufacturers agreed to voluntary export limits. So Toyota created the Lexus brand to sell more profitable cars within their alloted quota.

I think their intent is not so much to make criminals not use it, but have companies use backdoored encryption, so they can get Apple's keys to a device with a warrant.

The problem remains that they constantly abuse their power and are able to even circumvent the warrant part once they know that those keys exist.

My girlfriend's new Macbook air had the up arrow key literally pop out when the laptop was just sitting idle. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. Take it to the Apple store, and again spend time having to listen to how it's human misuse that caused it. After a lot of dramatics, and having to explain that the system was barely 2 months old and not even used for heavy stuff like gaming or number crunching, before they finally replaced it under warranty with no charge!

That single incident removed years of faith my girlfriend had with Apple (she's been using Apple systems continuously since 2012 or so)

>nginx run behind it. It removes a lot of complexity from your code.

There are good intentions with that advice but I think it's misleading. It doesn't take into account how http libraries like this one (and similar ones for C++ such as Proxygen[1] and Silicon[2]) are supposed to be used.

The intended use case is to add an embedded webserver to your executable that's communicating with friendly and internal systems. That would be things like microservices and dashboards.

You don't use those libraries to create external public-facing websites that would be under attack from hostile agents. You're correct: Do not re-invent NGINX by using the C http library.

As an example proper use case, let's say you write an internal C program to process terabytes of image files. You think it might be nice to have a visual status of its progress/errors/throughput/etc. Instead of adding a GTK GUI to the code, you use the http library to expose a "web dashboard". You can then point an employee browser on the internal network at it to see its progress. For this use case, avoiding the http library and adding NGINX into the stack makes it more complicated.

Another use case without HTML gui is exposing http endpoints for microservices. Again, it's internal communication between friendly agents.

tldr: http libraries that are compiled into executables vs NGINX are for different use cases.

Ada usage has declined a lot. F-35 is primarily C++, Ada percentage is meager, and I haven't even heard it confirmed that Java is used for anything critical, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's used for some ground control stuff. NASA uses Javascript for a lot of their non-critical systems. Ada was highly specialized, and its use came with strict requirements (e.g., processor type) that have made it difficult to continue its use, not to mention lack of knowledgeable developers. In another turn, less strict DoD requirements have made it easier to use other languages. It's been quite a few years since Ada saw heavy usage in DoD projects, though it still has relevance. The legacy code base is huge.

I never meant to imply that games are comprised of only C++. Of course, you are right: a game and its tooling consist of several languages. Unreal Engine's build system is C#--but as you say, the core systems which makes sure everything's executed in time, rendering, physics, audio, are C, C++ with a bit of assembly.

And look at what Unity has to do with IL2CPP to increase performance. Unity has terrible performance because of Mono, but their work on the compiler and job system should start to pay off. In the case of Unreal Engine, you gain a lot of performance by using C++ instead of Blueprints. Even so, Blueprints already compile to bytecode and is ran in a VM and from there they call native C++ functions, they're not interpreted as is. Not that that has much relevance to what we're talking about, perhaps, but it does show that making a system like Blueprints is a significant performance compromise you always try to make up for. Epic recommends you use Blueprint Nativization (generating native code from your BPs) for increased performance, and just use C++ outright for heavy lifting parts. It's not without reason that Epic decided to drop UnrealScript and just use C++ as their scripting language, as well.

This comment came to be about Unreal Engine. I don't want to detract from Blueprints though; they're great at what they do. And not to be thought of as just visual scripting for people who can't program or something for only your artists/designers to use. A mistaken thinking many seem to share. It's best to use a combination of the two for easy gameplay scripting and iteration. Just write C++ and expose it to your BPs.

Drive: The surprising truth about what motivates us (by Dan Pink)
Here's another stupid question: Can anybody start a new fork?

Let's say, I invested in the original Bitcoin. Then somebody who has the marketing resources to build enough interest in a new coin comes along and decides to fork. Because of the hype around the new coin type, enough people are willing to trade it after the fork.

I'm being given the same number of coins of the forked kind and the value of my original coins drops by the difference in value compared to the new coins (or around that).

If I'd rather only invest in the original Bitcoin, I'd have to sell the forked coins immediately and buy the original Bitcoin back just to keep my investment value the same.

If anybody can come along and fork:

That sounds like in the world of stocks, a competitor could come along and decide to split the stocks of MY company from the outside, driving down the price of my stocks (me as the company's owner or investor) and there's nothing I can do about it.
