Not to disagree with any of the other points, but it's always worth remembering that any physical utility in the US has approximately 16x more land to cover than France. Not to mention the greater variety in climates (which do impact utilities).

Some cities only have one existing fiber line even coming into them, usually owned by one of the local duopolies (typically phone, since they originally were required to offer phone service to everybody).

This gives incumbents an immediate advantage in terms of reaching customers with physical infrastructure, before counting any of the (admittedly fucked) politics involved.

A write is fast, because it happens directly at the closest replica, without any inter-replica synchronisation. There is no schema per se; rather the DB is object-oriented, and each application picks the object types it needs from the CRDT library. The library currently covers the basics: registers, flags, sets, maps, lists.
I implied that a useful serialization format would include integers of multiple size. When your field only needs a uint16, you don't want to pay the extra 6 bytes to encode as, say, uint64.
On Windows, I can recommend ManicTime (www.manictime.com) myself. It’s free and all data is only stored locally/offline.

I’ve found it to be very useful, especially as it logs away times and the currently focused window titles. You can also set exclusions if you want.

One of our systems might cost £300k, so completely desynchronising them so that code paths can build both G1 and G2 simultaneously (allowing B to develop separately) means "simply" doubling the costs. That might put our team at a disadvantage against someone who figures out another way.

Your first paragraph is exactly what happened here but with regulations in place. Local ISPs here provides 20Mbps symmetrical bandwidth for $10 per month and this cost is going down rapidly. I think problem with Russia is its pseudo democracy which makes doing these things very easy. We have a messy democracy but it seems to works somehow :)

Might be OT but how does small ISPs operate in this market? Just as a last mile provider? I always thought they have to hook into one of the few backbone providers as only a handful of operators control the backbone worldwide due to requirements of heavy investment.
Yes, there is one cable and everyone has to share it, by law.

I thought that AT&T was split once in the past to differentiate backbone and service providers - why not in the case of fiber?

You are misunderstanding the nature of the system and infinite divisibility. Wealth created essentially gets stored in a “bank”. Buying allows others to withdraw. The more holding the higher the price, the more everybody can withdraw. This is equity based money. And a bank, with no staff or “money”.
You mean western companies. The market will adapt, it always does. They have to pay more money now, boo boo.

You can easily get more bandwidth though, it's not that it is somehow forbidden. You just don't want to pay for it. That is what youtube gives you: 'unlimited' video hosting bandwidth (and improved discoverability) in return for the opportunity to play their ads before your video. The bandwidth costs also don't magically disappear with IPFS, it is just a convenient way to make other people pay for it.

In order of increasing independence you could choose to:
- Host it on youtube, with the benefits and disadvantages you already mentioned.
- Host it on a public S3 bucket and link to it from a HTML5 video player on your web page. You pay for only the storage and bandwidth used.
- Keep the video on your own server, but pay a CDN to cache it for you. Actual bandwidth use of you server is now very low again.
- Host it on a (big) server in a colocation center. You would typically buy bandwidth in advance though, so you want to be able to roughly predict how much you need.
- Contract with a fiber laying company to lay a dedicated fiber line from the nearest backbone to your home. (Alternatively, a large microwave connection) Buy several 100Gbit NICS to go with it and negotiate peering agreements with the major networks.

Most people don't want the hassle and cost of the latter options, but they are very possible and very legal. In your example with the programming video, if a ton of people want to see it then somewhere along the chain a lot of bandwidth is going to be used and it is _not_ free. All you do is shift who pays for it.

You could either stipulate (as you suggested) to always use the smallest width that still fits a number and then prefix with a length byte but that would be wasteful. Ideally something like LEB128 would be used. At any rate, it's not an issue in terms of guaranteeing a bijective mapping.

They tried a couple of times (not been keeping tabs on them too closely) to get a root cert into Mozilla - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1232689 but were denied until they get a valid BR audit, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1331364 But has yet to answer the follow up questions so the request hasn't progressed.

They published a response to the backlash - http://mic.gov.kz/en/news/matters-using-registration-certifi... saying that it would only be used to improve the security when accessing foreign resources, battle porn terrorism and transnational crime.

Dunno what the adoption rate of the cert was or if they do force the use of the cert when accessing foreign https sites

They quietly removed the notice off the telecom's websites saying that people will need to install the cert or may lose access to foreign https sites (not from kazakhstan) but I would expect someone would of gotten word out if they had (Maybe they did and i've just not come across it).

Great initiative, but how it is different from a collection of links for subject X? The mindmap approach is fancy but does it deliver more value than a simple tree-like folder structure (especially on mobile)? Again, I think that's a great idea but I'm not sure about the execution.
thank you for a thoughtful response.

your first point regarding "no non-controversial statements" points out a flaw in my logic that i hope we can move past to my example.

i try to illustrate, that the graph of `ACTIONS <-> PEOPLE + TOOLS <-> MAKERS OF TOOLS` has been an obviously controversial one in the past as applied to weaponry, using guns as an example. so why should it not be equally controversial for any profession? the tool is variable.

which you answer with your last point: "guns don't kill people" and an admittance of ethical responsibility are not mutually exclusive. and maybe there has never been a controversy like i am suggesting. which is a great point and presses me to reiterate: where is this programmer who does not believe his job has ethical implications?

and IF IT IS a falsehood programmers believe: you think telling some number of programmers they are ethically insufficient could not possibly lead to a controversial discussion?
TFA mentions a Comcast tech referencing RFC 6108:

"[JL] This is our web notification system, documented in RFC 6108 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6108, which has been in place for many years now."

However, RFC 6108 requirement for use R3.1.1 states:

R3.1.1. Must Only Be Used for Critical Service Notifications
Additional Background: The system must only provide
critical notifications, rather than trivial notifications.
An example of a critical, non-trivial notification, which
is also the primary motivation of this system, is to advise
the user that their computer is infected with malware, that
their security is at severe risk and/or has already been
compromised, and that it is recommended that they take
immediate, corrective action NOW.

RFC 6108:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6108
I know and 90% of the web wants to give Comcast even more power to keep out competition by turning the Internet over to lobbyists.

You have to compile the protocol buffers so there is overhead. Also the messages aren't human readable eg through kafka so you need to write something to look through the messages. JSON is faster if your dev team need to get from A to B in a hurry, but protocol buffers are a generally a better long term choice if you can put in the effort up front. Both have pros and cons.

It's puzzling how this factualky inaccurate concept, is poisoning the understanding. If it were remotely true, why talk about it at all? We are already dead and the earth will never recover SMH.
My thoughts exactly. I personally have nothing against systemd and haven't been directly affected since I rarely need to touch init scripts, but I still appreciate Devuan and loosely follow its progress for this reason. (Kind of like ReactOS — 99% I'll never want or need it, but the fact that it exists is still really cool.)
Btw, I wanted to thank everybody for upvoting this post!

For me it is not only a Sunday morning essay, but also important that people understand, why the Devuan movement is so important to all of us.
In the spirit of efficacy, browser injection may have a better response rate than email. Taking this to its next logical step, surely showing up in-person at your door is even more effective.

Is that the idea here?

Or does this efficacy come at some cost (namely, the sentiment behind this thread)?
> We tried to build Data Center Light on Debian and Ubuntu, but servers that don't boot, that don't reboot or systemd-resolved that constantly interferes with our core network configuration made it too expensive to run Debian or Ubuntu.

Can you expand on that? I work at a cloud provider, and I never heard of such issues before. Our default images are Ubuntu 16.04, RHEL 7 and SLES 12, so systemd all around.
No one is happy, but we have almost zero opportunity to affect change. Look at the FCC's deliberately crappy email campaign for responses on eliminating net neutrality. They won't even release the data to a state DA. Between gerrymandered districts and lock step Republicans controlling everything currently, not to mention local monopolies by the biggest ISPs, our ability to affect change is virtually zero.

Interesting, thank you. So maybe the sauropods were bit fuzzy, or downy.
Well it just works and is extremely simple to use.

I usually debootstrap into /var/lib/machines/something and do "machinectl enable something; machinectl start something", that's it. Then I attach to the machine using "machienctl shell something" and configure networking (host0 interface) inside the domain, that's it.

For drop in configuration systemd-nspawn parses a config file /etc/systemd/nspawn/something.nspawn which usually just contains network configuration on my hosts:

[Network]
Bridge=br-int

Systemd-nspawn enables and user namespacing by default and chowns the machines's root filesystem on first start. If that's not desired (Things like Samba fileservers don't work well with user namespacing) just disable it in the .nspawn file:

[Exec]
PrivateUsers=no

Everything you need to know is in the manpages systemd-nspawn and systemd.nspawn. I usually install systemd from stretch-backports because running a fairly recent systemd version helps as it still gets new features, but I never had problems with stability.
I've seen "Learn Anything" links submitted here many times and every time I open them and conclude I don't like this approach -- it seems like a worse Google.

I stated the reason, and I don't have a replacement. It's a great idea, but for now I'll have to wait for websites to enforce https on their users. But of course it can work for you if you have the resources to spare.

It's always bugged me there's no "metric time".

1 metric minute = 100 seconds = 1.667 Babylonian minutes

1 metric hour = 100 metric minutes = 166.7 Babylonian minutes = 2.78 Babylonian hours.

1 day = 8.61 metric hours = 1436 Babylonian minutes = 23.93 Babylonian hours.

Thoughts?
If the thing you "put" into is a CRDT, then two concurrent "put" will be merged, if that's OK for your application. If however you want to disallow concurrent "put"s then you need to add some concurrency control to the CRDT layer. See the CISE tool https://youtu.be/HJjWqNDh-GA, http://dx.doi.org/10.1145/2911151.2911160. Antidote doesn't yet support concurrency control, it's work in progress.

Introduction to modern Internet of Things
An Open Letter to Intel [Updated]
I think it means normal people pay CGT, rich people don’t need to.
The problem is that badly written init scripts are reasonably easy to debug and make work, even if it's often ugly, while systemd is not a good enough replacement to just make all those problems a thing of the past, so you still have to debug stuff occasionally and try to make it work somehow, which just is so much harder due to the way systemd works.

It's a bit like ISA vs. ISA PnP vs. PCI. Jumpering ISA cards to make sure resources didn't conflict was a bit of a chore and sometimes difficult to get right, but essentially there always was a way. ISA PnP tried to automate this, which was great if it worked, but more often than not just failed, and then you had no jumpers to fall back on to just fix things up manually (though sometimes you had special config utilities that with some luck you could use to fix things up with some cards ... maybe). PCI, though, was an actual reliable abstraction that actually worked essentially all the time, so there actually was no use for jumpers, so it is fine that PCI cards don't have IRQ/IO jumpers.

Systemd seems to me like the ISA PnP of init systems.
Updated part:

Note added later:

Some people have pointed out online that if MINIX had a GPL
license, Intel might not have used it since then it would
have had to publish the modifications to the code. Maybe yes,
maybe no, but the modifications were no doubt technical
issues involving which mode processes run in, etc. My
understanding, however, is that the small size and modular
microkernel structure were the primary attractions. Many
people (including me) don’t like the idea of an all-powerful
management engine in there at all (since it is a possible
security hole and a dangerous idea in the first place), but
that is Intel’s business decision and a separate issue from
the code it runs. A company as big as Intel could obviously
write its own OS if it had to. My point is that big companies
with lots of resources and expertise sometimes use
microkernels, especially in embedded systems. The L4
microkernel has been running inside smartphone chips for
years. I certainly hope Intel did thorough security hardening
and testing before deploying the chip, since apparently an
older version of MINIX was used. Older versions were
primarily for education and newer ones were for high
availability. Military-grade security was never a goal.

Second note added later:

The online discussion got completely sidetracked from my
original points as noted above. For the record, I would like
to state that when Intel contacted me, they didn’t say what
they were working on. Companies rarely talk about future
products without NDAs. I figured it was a new Ethernet chip
or graphics chip or something like that. If I had suspected
they might be building a spy engine, I certainly wouldn’t
have cooperated, even though all they wanted was reducing the
memory footprint (= chip area for them). I think creating
George Orwell’s 1984 is an extremely bad idea, even if Orwell
was off by about 30 years. People should have complete
control over their own computers, not Intel and not the
government. In the U.S. the Fourth Amendment makes it very
clear that the government is forbidden from searching
anyone’s property without a search warrant. Many other
countries have privacy laws that are in the same spirit.
Putting a possible spy in every computer is a terrible
development.
They say that it is a very minor factor.
If his modem is actively interfering with your network I could see that this is critical. If he has been hacked and is actively DDOSing sites, that’s critical. We can debate the correct response in those cases (getting on the phone and calling seems to work really well when you want people to pay you, as does turning off service).

Unless I’m misunderstanding, this was not causing such a problem. Casting it as a customer good is rhetorically amusing, and probably holds water with people who are predisposed to agree with you, but I can make any number of morally bankrupt decisions using exactly the same logic. You have simpler ways to deliver this message, that do not cause nearly as much harm to your customer and do not require you to intercept and modify their traffic.
I respect that opinion, but it's different from my experience. My experience is that non-tech companies just don't care (i.e., we can do what we want), and that startups spend way too much time worrying about the tools they will need when they get as big as google. Instead of, you know, getting as big as google.
That is only valid when all nodes have an equal chance of being down. Big websites have entire teams dedicated to keeping their site online, so even though it's centralized, youtube is actually a very stable website. A torrent with one seeding peer (or an IPFS object where only one node has it pinned) can potentially disappear if a single machine has a disk failure.
Part of the solution might be to ban the import of goods packaged in plastic.
Wow, 5X! I have a small consultancy and most engineers are surprised to learn that 2X is typical. I do know some of the large management consulting firms have very high margins, especially on junior programmers, which you're clearly not. Specialist knowledge will also raise rates. But I suspect they have high churn with abuse like that.

Do they have an awesome sales/marketing team, or are those rates typical for your industry? If it's typical, you might consider freelancing. Or finding a small consultancy that will treat you better and take care of sales for you.

I'll say I was once unhappy and asked to be laid off. They told me no, essentially because I was a cash cow. You think your bargaining position is tough, but if your utilization rate is 100% and their margin is 80%, if you leave they are guaranteed to lose at least 160 billable hours (up to 480) while they replace you. I'm assuming you're not in gaming or a glamour industry where there is a line out the door to replace you.
