Tesla doesn’t have relevant expertise or local knowledge to deploy a complete energy grid suitable for PR. Plus, they would create a profit-centric monopoly that would end up squeezing poor people. Instead, a non-profit or state-run monopoly that is run well, unlike PREPA is a required precondition. PR can’t sustain competitors due to its tiny size, so they need an “Amtrak” for most services.

It would be nice to deploy solar, wind and distributed battery storage along with cleaner power generation, but it doesn’t have to be Tesla. Costa Rica’s generation-side has some good clean energy deployments that might make useful templates.
I significantly benefit from QUIC. My home network is exceptionally lossy... and exceptionally latent. ICMP pings range from 500ms (at best) to 10 seconds (at worst) with an average somewhere in the 1-2 second range. Additionally I am QOS-ed by some intermediary routers which appear to have a really bad (or busy) packet scheduler.

Often, Google sites serving via QUIC are the only sites I can load. I can load HTML5 YouTube videos despite not being able to open the linkedin.com homepage. Stability for loading HTTP over QUIC in my experience is very comparable to loading HTTP over OpenVPN (using UDP) with a larger buffer.

It's not really like winning the lottery. There's a lot of different kinds of promotional features they can give you, with different levels of publicity. You just have to make a high quality app that does something useful or new (or a good game), and ask their editorial team if they can promote your app. They'll usually give you some kind of promotion on the store.

It's "editor's choice" and the other front/center features that you might equate to "winning the lottery". And yeah, you can't expect that unless you've already made something huge.

Rob never said Go wasn’t a systems programming language. He said the pedantic rules lawyering that plagued the internet after the initial claim was made — the tedious pablum that you’re continuing to propagate — was all noise and no signal, and made the claim not worth claiming anymore. For fuck’s sake, give it a rest.
There was quite a bit of discussion last year about making the internet a utility. I don't remember all the details, but it has to go with how it will be treated federally, with taxes etc. and will cost more eventually if not.

I'm not too convinced either way though, so there's that.

> The important part is that T-Mobile is not one of the companies that want to destroy net neutrality.

T-Mobile gets free press and gets to publicly swipe at AT&T and Verizon (the big gorillas in the mobile data space), but what they are doing is called "zero-rating" which isn't very different from violating the principles of Net Neutrality.

The difference between data that is accessible versus partner data (NN) is that is gratis to access (zero-rating) isn't that much if you can barely afford your cell phone bill (which is about 50% of the US population if surveys about financial savings are to be believed).
The former.

With earlier versions, e.g. k2.8, there is a `show command to trigger a pop-up window that reminds me of Tcl/Tk, containing the values in editable fields.

The interpreter is terminal friendly and works without the GUI but it has no formatted output of tables in ASCII like in k4. x11 libraries are a dependency.

I roughly agree, but I'm guessing the big ISPs will like that even less. Like most big problems in the US, the best solutions seem completely impossible, because big changes are too hard to get enough people to agree on.

So you'll often see the biggest support for fighting a "bad" change, "holding the line" at the current compromise.

Seems like we are going to be seeing more of this with drier conditions and ever growing homeless camps across California. There are numerous fire code violations at these camps and these were devised for a reason. Not sure what the best course of action is but clearly something needs to happen.

I actually have no doubt that the benchmarks are correct. However, what they are probably doing is using the Amazon Redshift default configuration.

For Redshift to be fast, you need to use a feature called "workload management". Redshift operates in a queuing model, and the default option is one queue with five concurrent queries.

If you throw an Oracle workload at Redshift WITHOUT configuring it, then yes, Oracle will be 15 times faster because Redshift is only running the default concurrency of 5 queries.

However, if you do configure Redshift for your workloads, to allow for higher concurrency, Redshift will blow Oracle out of the water, at 1/10 of the cost.

I know this because at our own company we're running multiple large Redshift instances. And then also our own customers use Redshift, and once we've helpd them fine-tune their cluster, they've never looked back.

But I have to give it to Larry - he's an excellent marketer...

The document seems to have gotten a little better, lot better than Webpack 1, however the plugin ecosystem is the most frustrating part imo. Webpack gives plugin creator some form of freedom and because of that, and the lack of types in JS, you're at the mercy of proper docs on the plugins you're relying on. Either that or go through the source code to find out what the heck is even accepted as options.
Yeah, one site going down broke the internet. So melodramatic.
A blockchain and a company are not the same thing.

A blockchain shouldn't need trust but a company absolutely does need it. Until the product is built you have no idea if they're even going to produce anything.

If they have a number of known entities in the space willing to peg their name to it, that's at least a modicum of trust that they aren't going to just take the money and run. It's not much, but it's something.

I'm sure you could cherry pick a few blockchain based startups with extremely small all engineer teams that you absolutely should not trust above some of these ones.

If team size is indicative of anything it's indicative of just how much money is being poured into anything blockchain based. Whether that's good or bad, I don't know.

Lastly, the writer simply scanned the company's team page and decided "at least 4 of them look like they might be able to write code"? What exactly is that expertly produced opinion based on?

Agreed, the selection here on HN isn’t the market. Even Schiller addresses the fact that it isn’t for everyone, but it can (and does) work for many. I’m pretty confident my folks could get by with just an iPad, and my wife could almost entirely do it with an iPad Pro (she’s in the creative space).
Hi, this looks great! Quick question:

My company has a few libraries (including a language parser/compiler) currently written in Go, and we have a need for the exact same functionality in the browser and in other places (e.g., Node.js apps). Rather than port everything to JS and have two codebases to maintain, we tried translating with GopherJS, which seemed promising at first. But the emitted code was enormous, and it pulled in parts of the standard library that couldn't be transpiled. (Our code had limited dependencies, but our main problem was the "fmt" package, which, if I remember correctly, is somewhat special and not something you can just omit.) In the end, it was too much work for a small company with our limited resources.

> I guess "relatively new" is a vague term, but SAML v2.0 (the current version) was standardised in March 2005 - it's now 12.5 years old, I don't call that new.

True, but it's still relatively new to most people, similar to how IPv6 has been around for a few decades but is still "new" to many.

> SAML is very widely used in certain segments.

Perhaps but it's only been in the last few years that I've been hearing about it, mostly WRT the cloud vendors (AWS, specifically).

> The golden SAML attack is a load of crap.

Yeah, I think I mentioned it isn't very practical. To me, though, this seems like just the unexpected kind of thing that, some day down the road, is going to come back and bite you in the ass. That is, some major issue in some piece of infrastructure that is overlooked, forgotten about, or taken for granted (e.g. heartbleed or similar), that suddenly causes everybody to drop everything and react immediately to fix it.
I see that https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/3341 is scheduled for 3.0. This is also marked as the fix for the broken/invalid YAML format that is used for storing the shell history https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/2258

I implore you to NOT use JSON or ProtocolBuffers, neither are appropriate formats for configuring my shell, or storing long sets of textual data. Protocol Buffers is hardly the kind of format I want to parse and read my history in, and JSON is a less than ideal configuration format for many reasons.

https://github.com/vstakhov/libucl UCL (Universal Configuration Language) is a much more appropriate format for configuring programs than JSON, and is has been accepted as standard for use configuring all tools included in the FreeBSD operating system.

I also suggest you consider using a different language to store shell history, since shell history and shell configuration are two very different jobs with different goals and trade offs. I personally would suggest a simple safe format like TOML https://github.com/toml-lang/toml for storing the history.

But If you do want a single format for both configuration and history, I would implore you to pick TOML not JSON or Protocol Buffers.

I recently had to build a small web app. I mostly code for fun, and I've been writing Python for years. I was able to learn how to use VueJS with single file components in about a week, with Flask as a backend, plus Bulma as a CSS framework. Nothing fancy but it works flawlessly. Also, the Vue team offers a Webpack template so I didn't have to spend a minute learning about that.

Overall very pleasant experience.

Edit: woops, forgot to say what I actually wanted to say! You don't need to write everything in one language. I actually abhorred that idea, and glad I found a stack that 1. doesn't need much maintenance 2. doesn't force me to spend countless hours learning about why XYZ is better than ABC and how QRT were wrong about this and that and learning 100 different new concepts and terms. I put together the stack myself, and it worked without me having to bend my programming knowledge to the particular task. There's value in this.

Devil's advocacy: must "something happen?". The point to allowing semi-permanent homeless camps is that people were being forced into hiding, sleeping in ditches and eating garbage. That's a serious social ill (no, I don't have numbers, but would be interested if someone does), and one that was trivially solved by allowing them to pitch tents and cook food. It's still not a great existence, but it's a whole lot better and it's something that lots of people will legitimately choose.

And if the cost of that is some non-zero number of burned homes? Dunno, but my gut says that's a worthwhile trade.

Not that I'd argue with running power to those camps and paying for some hot plates either, of course.
