> haproxy can now be built with native systemd support using USE_SYSTEMD=1 and starting it with -Ws (systemd-aware master-worker mode).

What features/integrations make sense for a proxy with systemd? I'd assume it's only a unit that comes with the package, but that "-Ws" makes me wonder if there're deeper integrations.
I believe you can define a <symbol> in one inline SVG, then <use> it in another, so that'd be a way to achieve icon reuse. Not sure how good browser support is for that, though - there's probably quirks.
What do we achieve by adding all those words? I observe that my body is usually acts as if controlled by a single goal-directed agent. I call this agent I. It doesn't matter if we can single-out some useless subsystem and call it "ride-along consciousness" or "real I" or something.
Through meditative and other techniques, I have learned that-- at least for myself-- that "I" am the result of a conversation of a number of what you might call entities, personalities, archetypal emotions, drives, and other things I am not yet able to classify.

My consciousness-- the surface most of us have access to, tries to make sense of these conversations and form them into a cohesive illusion/narrative in which I am a single "thing" of which I am in control.

A few times I've reached states where I can connect or disconnect these entities for a few minutes, or have a conversation with them directly.
Have you evaluated any of the software that exists for this? FollowMyVote looked promising but appears to be defunct. I mentioned DemocracyOS in my other comment but have yet to look into it; it’s at least being talked about and has been deployed in a few places.
Yes, they often do :/

Rust is written in Rust, with the exception of LLVM. C++ can be compiled to wasm too though, so that's not the blocker.

The bigger issue is that rustc uses features that aren't in wasm yet, like threads and file loading and such. It'll happen eventually, but not just yet...
Pardon the possibly ignorant question, but what do the telecom companies have to gain by destroying their own infrastructure? I feel like I'm missing something about the US telecom market here.

Aren't these companies making a profit on this infrastructure? Are they selling more profitable services and they want users to switch over? Are the maintenance fees that high?
> The examples should have come first, in the synopsis.

That is just a terrible idea. First, if what you're putting in the synopsis is not "a brief summary or general survey of something" then the section is misnamed or the content does not belong there. Examples don't belong there. Second, and more importantly, plenty of commands can do enough damage that people ought to read up on what they do before receiving an example. You're giving someone a false sense of confidence if you throw an example at them first thing. That's appropriate enough in some contexts, but not in official documentation for software tools.

> The traditional structure of man pages (Synopsis, Description, Options, and maybe Examples at the end) is just Bad.

The problems you go on to list have nothing to do with the structure, and everything to do with the content contained within that structure.

> No documentation expert would write doc this way, not even as a reference, say nothing of a tutorial.

Since "documentation experts" write documentation this way, it's hard to imagine why you'd assert this.
From Wikipedia:

"...for local loops shorter than 500 m"
The US dollar is backed by its military and government. In practice, while the US can reduce supply by buying dollars like you said, it can also increase demand by incentivizing buying US currency (say by raising interest rates, or requiring certain transactions to be done in dollars).

Economically the US is very well positioned - it has friendly neighbors, a robust legal system, a diversified industry and a lot of natural resources, so it would take quite a bit for hyperinflation to occur. Obviously anything is possible, though.
I couldn't find anything on this either. The assembly emitters in their repo don't suggest a WASM backend: https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/tree/trunk/asmcomp
You can reuse inline icons with JS - for example if you made a react component of it.
If there is a mailing list for the software, why not send releases information over there? It makes a lot of sense to me.
I'm also subscribed to several, and some software also announce patches or security related stuff on mail lists.
I see mail as a low barrier of entry (every developer has an email address).

What else would you use to notify interested people and be able to receive feedback at the same time?
1. I don't believe in good or bad when it comes to programming languages. There are neither theoretical nor empirical justifications for assigning such a value judgment. I was only pointing out some intentional tradeoffs in the design of different formalisms. I believe in a rather subjective more/less appealing/convenient.

2. I believe I understand the semantics of Haskell (or, at least that of strict FP languages) well enough, certainly for the purpose of this discussion.

3. The semantics of Eve is essentially that of Dedalus [1], which, in turn, is similar to the semantics of all synchronous languages (which have been very successfully used in industry for formally verified safety-critical real-time software and hardware), and are heavily inspired by linear temporal logic (in fact, the logic and the PLs were developed practically hand in hand). Dedalus is especially inspired by Lamport's TLA, a particularly simple and particularly powerful linear temporal logic. I've written about TLA (which forms the computational logic part of TLA+) here https://pron.github.io/posts/tlaplus_part3 (the two previous installments are not strictly necessary, but if you're interested in program analysis and find that post interesting, you may want to read part 4 as well).

You write "Microsoft's offering does not seem to charge you for the masters ever". The article says "You will only pay for the virtual machines (VM) that you use for managing your Kubernetes cluster". Do you have a source that disagrees with the article?

Edit: to those replying correcting the article, if you were to create a top-level comment on this thread correcting the article, we could upvote your comments and better correct the misinformation. I have edited my own comment explaining what you have dug up. Thanks for your research!
It’s not destroying the infrastructure, it’s abandoning it. The article states that prior to this ruling they’re required to maintain or replace with comparable functionality for existing copper customers.

This ruling let’s them abandon them altogether from what I gathered.
Well, the "asm.js to wasm" path actually isn't pure asm.js anymore. We added i64 support and other things a while back, as intrinsics. So the asm2wasm path isn't limited by asm.js. It's weird ;) but it produces good code...

The wasm backend does have other benefits, which is why we'd like to move emscripten to use it by default:

* It uses LLVM's default legalization code, so it can handle LLVM IR from more sources (i.e. not just C and C++ from clang).

* We can stop maintaining the out-of-tree LLVM that asm2wasm depends on.

The LLVM wasm backend isn't ready yet (larger output code, slower compile times, a few missing features) but it's getting there.
Why then do you suppose the IRS gives a lower figure for a mile of driving for the purposes of moving?
It's doable in many cities.

A large part of the infrastructure you need to replace when upgrading is inside buildings. With a 500m radius, you can avoid rewiring buildings and have loops terminate in the street.
Interesting article, and I'm usually a fan of Nautilus pieces, but isn't this a bit obvious? Almost like 2017 is getting to be the year it's fashionable to poo poo social media (and Facebook in particular). Haven't used the site since about 2010 'cause the rank smell of the Skinner box made my nose curl from afar.

I'm baffled that psych studies have to be referenced for people to see the obvious; and I'm certainly not on a higher plane of self-aware existence, either.

Ok, but there are still paying customers on the end of that infrastructure. Are they not profitable enough?
>>a trivial amount of (configuration) code

It’s not a matter of perspective given the target audience. Developers don’t think that doing something in “x lines of code” means configuration files.

It’s intentionally misleading, and that fact that you double down on it after it’s mentioned reflects on the company.

I’m not saying it an easy distinction to draw, in fact often it’s incredibly difficult and that’s why marketing claims have such wide legal latitude.

It’s just that in this case, given the foreseeable audience interpretation, and given the audience is known to have a penchant for unvarnished, straight talk about technology, it’s not a good decision for your company.

Startups come out of the gate attempting climbing mount everest. Given the difficultly, unforced tactical errors really need to be avoided, and corrected when pointed out.
I've been playing with Bitcoin since 2010, the first price I remember was $0.10 a coin. I even did some CPU mining (!). I have never seriously invested in BTC but I've been paying attention.

It's amazing to watch the price go up as utility has gone down. In 2012 or so Bitcoin was legitimately useful. Coinbase was around so it was easy to buy. You could move it for reasonable fees / transaction times and it gave you access to Darknet Markets which offered services you couldn't get anywhere else. We also believed it to be private because law enforcement had not yet developed any block chain analysis software. Bitcoin was the only credible coin, everything else was a joke or lacked critical mass.

Now none of that is true. If you're interested in privacy you don't touch BTC with a 10 foot pole. If you want an actually usable currency with speed and low fees you use ETH or any other. And if you're a financial institution you're looking at Ripple. Oh and let's not forget all the BTC forks and exchange hacks.

Yet the price just climbs and climbs, and many people are getting quite rich. I can't say I'm not jealous, but I still won't invest because the fundamentals are all wrong. Someone will be left holding the bag.
I was the person creating the patch. For now all it does is compiling in support for `Type=notify` (using sd_notify [1]) in the unit file: haproxy is able to notify systemd when it completed the `start` or the `reload`.

In the future this could be extended to support systemd's socket passing and status messages. The latter allowing you to show a short string in `systemctl status haproxy`. See this example for php-fpm:

Have you experimented with dimethyltryptamine before? I would be interested to know if a commitment to meditation could induce similar effects. What you have described sounds similar to common effects from chemicals such as N,N-DMT and 5-MeO-DMT. Alternatively, could those effects be reached more easily through sensory deprivation?

In the U.S. rural telecoms access has always existed because of government mandates supported in part by government subsidies and taxes.

It would definitely be more profitable to drop support for large parts (land mass, not population) of the U.S. entirely.
"5" would be generous, >90% of miles driven in America have only the driver and no passengers.
Honestly, it feels more like we are slaves to our brains. It releases various chemicals(emotions) to push us to do stuff. Everything that can be automated already is - image processing, manual tasks, memory retrieval, face recognition.

Experience/qualia is only involved when brain wants to think. This seems to suggest that free will indeed exists(otherwise why bother with all this machinery), but it is pretty limited.
It's funny how on one hand consciousness may be the only thing you can be sure exists (Cogito ergo sum), but on the other hand, results from neuroscience suggest it's basically an illusion and is not persistent.
Maintenance fees are likely to be high, especially considering that the companies are required to keep their copper lines maintained until no customers want copper service anymore. In rural areas, this could mean keeping miles and miles of line maintained for a single customer.

Selling the copper from the wires also could be quite lucrative.
So the maintenance costs are driving this?
I dunno if it is so important these days.

I've had my full name as a .com for about 20 years now, with plenty of content on the site. Over the years I've watched it slip down the search results and it is now on page 10 when you search for my firstname lastname where my domain is firstnamelastname.com

But then again I have a more common name than victorvojnovski including a D-list celebrity, evangelical country musician, and retail store with the same name.
> Those modules had to be marked as UNSAFE and could only be executed if allowed to do so by the sysadmin.

Safety vs. authorization are completely orthogonal. The former is an objective property of a program, to be established or refuted with formal proof. The latter depends on the subjective whims of one specific human being, in this case, the sysadmin. And, in my experience, the typical sysadmin is not a good enough semanticist to determine whether a program is safe or not.
I found none of these particularly difficult. (I've never attempted 3. or 5. though.) Functional values, however, are difficult. They work effortlessly in interpreted code, but in compiled code you're faced with the upwards funarg problem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funarg_problem#Upwards_funarg_...

A solution is needed if you want lazy evaluation.
While it is up for debate if certain abstract characteristics of BTC give it value (such as its scarcity, its usefulness and what not) you can certainly say that BTC is backed by the power required to mine it.
Well, you can use something like kops, although it's a little more difficult to get started, I guess. This new tool from Azure is basically the same thing.

It's a little interesting since they already have ECS, which isn't that bad either, but it seems like everyone just wants Kubernetes. Will they do both, or provide a migration path?
Why are there not just jet fuel futures for them to use?
Other coins are less hacked (or, only BTC is stolen) because it makes most sense to steal it.

While it’s true that it’s less private and useful than it was, there are developments that will make it better and some are in testing now (such as LN).

It is a bubble, but it’s anyone’s guess when this madness will stop. There’s relatively few BTC out there.

Like many others I regret I didn’t hold onto BTC I once had...

For tiny images like icons, where intricacies are hard to see, it's likely they will almost always be better in svg.

Logos especially are generally by nature clean and simple to be able to quickly communicate brand through different mediums.

From a practical sense, I'd be hard pressed to find a real logo/icon that wasn't better in SVG. Theoretically, of course there are limits, but the rule of thumb is strong: always use svg for logos and icons.
You're a strong guy. You need strength and consciousness for your family. Think about them.
> I just hope that MS doesn't add in too many platform-specific pieces that would encourage vendor lock-in.

That's Microsoft's main strategy though. Example: Users can't even install Firefox or Chrome on Windows 10 S.

Microsoft announced: "Apps that browse the web must use the appropriate HTML and JavaScript engines provided by the Windows Platform."

I wouldn't be the slightest bit surprised to see similar things happening to their cloud platform as soon as they are able to do them without users' noticing.
I have developed some kind of instinct that is non-trivial to teach, and impossible to convey in a small HN comment.

But my primary proxy is size. The less code the better. But even that have to give way to other concerns, such as style constraints, and straight up performance.

While I can't show the code I was talking about above (it was proprietary), I can show my crypto library, Monocypher¹. I think it is a good example of what I mean by high-quality code. (Yes, I am boasting. I believe this is justified. Also, quality requirements for crypto code are kinda off the chart.)

Is Bitcoin a bubble or not? No one knows for sure, but it reminds me a lot of the 2000 dot-com bubble, when Internet companies were overvalued like crazy. We had basically the same selling line: it's a new economy, a new paradigm, an exponential growth, you better join if you do not want to be left out, it will rocket to the moon, and so. I fear it will end up badly for a lot of people in Bitcoin. Make sure you exit before you end up with nothing.

Don't worry about making your personal site the first result. Having your name spread out across multiple sites can help give searchers a more wholistic view of who are and what you have done in the past that makes you stand out.

Here's what I did:
I negotiated with my parents before I was born to give me a unique name.

I made a github profile with lots of projects.

I wrote a short crappy book for Amazon Kindle.

I was involved with a local organization's student opensource initiative (like a small Google summer of code) and they have me mentioned in various articles.

I made a LinkedIn profile.

I made a youtube channel from when I was a kid in 2008 and have many videos.

I wrote a piece of fan fiction way back when.

I probably should add my name to my various personal project sites...
So true. I did sell way too early and I bought too much later because I regretted it, thinking I’d rather lose what I buy it with than continue to regret.
I could have been a millionaire but I also could have had no BTC at all. I can’t say that I am happy that I later acted irrationally - to a degree it pisses me off that the bubble continues.
Where did get the name from? Dinkum is (afaik) a word particular to Australia. Means 'fair' or 'honest'.

Re: uber insurance

Uber only provides additional coverage, you still need to have personal insurance too, and only for liability are they primary during a trip.

https://www.policygenius.com/blog/insurance-secret-uber-does...

Via another source:

> Uber requires all of their drivers to have car insurance, and provides supplemental insurance coverage, but only while the app is on. Here’s how it works: When the Uber app is off, a driver is covered by their own personal car insurance. When the Uber app is turned on, a low level of liability insurance becomes active. When a trip is accepted, a higher level of coverage kicks in and remains active until the passenger exits the vehicle.

Limited liability coverage only when there isn’t a passenger in the car, hence comprehensive is your personal insurance. If your insurance finds out you are using for business and you didn’t disclose (and pay a higher rate), guess what, your claim is denied and your insurance is dropped most likely.

A simple google search provided that info.

Edit: here’s the link on Uber’s own site to back up the policy. It clearly states the above, comprehensive is supplemental and only while a trip is active (Aka with passenger).

Fortunately there's a bunch of ingress controllers you can use: Traefik, Voyager, HAProxy, and probably several others. And it's surprisingly trivial to write your own.

So ingresses is not currently a weak point in relation to vendor lock-in happens. And Kubernetes already supports plenty of non-Google tech; as an open source project, Kubernetes is refreshingly non-Google-focused (there are a bunch of players, notably Red Hat and Microsoft, ensuring this).

As an aside, the current ingresses (including the Nginx one and Google's own GLB one) all have annoying deficiencies (subpar support for TLS and per-route timeout settings among the biggest). Ingress support is, and has been for a long time, Kubernetes' weakest point. For example, GLBs max out at 20 TLS certs (ridiculous if you're hosting many customers on a SaaS solution) and default to a timeout of 30 seconds (you can't control this using ingress annotations; you have to manually go in and edit the backends via API or UI) (which doesnt work for big streaming requests and WebSockets). These are also very trivial problems compared to the complex ones that are being solved by big new features in Kubernetes proper, so it's a bit surprising that ingress implementations are lagging to this extent.

[1] can easily mean that no one used the software so it doesn't really tell us much. Also, unless you had actually re-written the code as unit testable how do you know it's more complicated that way or less maintainable? You're responding to a study with actual data, on a generally "preference" topic, with an anecdote so yes I do feel justified in pointing this out.
