I do agree with your statement, but it's the idealistic approach and sometimes not effective at all.

A big problem with the dogs (as observed in humans, too) is that if they don't see a leader in you, they are going to take this position over. I've had 4 dogs in my lifetime and I've tried different approaches with all of them, because they all had different characters, but one thing I did with all of them: I was strict and I punished them at times. They are like babies, I don't think you can raise a child without punishing him from time to time; if you don't do so, there can be much more complications which maybe harmful for both parties.

No, they're required to delete data if you specifically ask them to (they most probably will change "delete account" to "deactivate" and you'll have to send them a snail mail request if you want a complete removal) and they're not obliged to delete data partially - it's either this (deleted=true) or whole account.
Does anyone know how much buffer bloat or delay is added in the router, or CPE or Modem? I assume they are less then 1ms?

> This puts a lot of pressure on the GC because a lot of multiple small objects are created.

… but they are allocated in the nursery, which isn't comparable to an allocation in Go (by orders of magnitude). It only makes a difference if you have a long-lived object (which must be tenured) and the difference is noticeable only if the object is small enough to be memcopied multiple times at low cost.

That's why Go is only significantly faster than Java on the Go's marketing slides and not in real life.
When I first started using React, I kept trying to use componentWillMount, componentWillReceiveProps, and componentWillUpdate... I kept getting stuck in infinite loops... new prop updates state which re-renders the component which means "new props" updates state which re-renders component etc. Or something like that....

Now my react components are a lot simpler and I don't try anything fancy. The parents tend to handle the data fetching and they pass it down to the children components which are often stateless components. So I only use constructor(props) and render() plus custom functions. It keeps it cleaner but I also have more components as a result. Some of which do very little.

So I agree, those functions smell and looked more useful upon first glance than they actually were.

What usually happens is that people are not aware of how many calories they eat, so when they start dieting they change the high fat calories food for low calorie ones (fruit, vegetables, low fat protein) plus the exercise they enter in a severe caloric deficit that is not sustainable.

Ask HN: Why are people not demanding tests for SDVs
Why are people not demanding tests to be formulated for self driving vehicles before they are put on public roads? Isn't it obvious that in a self driving system, the driver is the computer. I mean, it is just not a driver assist, because there is no hands on the wheel when it is engaged.

Thus it is only logical that the self driving system should be able to pass tests specially formulated for machines, before they are put on road.

Why are people/authorities not demanding such tests to be in place, before allowing to start the test of these vehicles in public roads?
Plus you would have a selection bias. High regulations induce much larger upfront costs. That would kill most of these nescent industries. So industries that would fall under heavy regulation now just never see the light of the day.

> [...] not all settings were applied until you opened the UI provided by the vendor. [...] the NICs would reboot, just long enough to kill TCP connections.

The UI part suggests that it was Windows, and if it was, it's not quite the
case that "just long enough" to kill TCP connections, as you need quite a lot
of downtime to terminate a typical TCP session.

In Windows, if a NIC goes down, all the TCP connections that use the NIC get
closed immediately. (Or at least this was the case a few years ago. I had
a similar system with similar drawbacks deployed back then, though it was
an automated warehouse, not an assembly plant.)

The author is right about one point. Apple fears the low cost Chrome books/pads encroaching on their educational sector.

But the author misses the reason why. It is not the money they might lose now that scares them. What scares them is that they lose their "in" to impressionable young minds such that they can manufacture legions of fanboi's who will forever unquestionably pay a price premium for apple hardware in the years to come.

That's what scares their 'money folks'. That lost future revenue from someone who's first real contact was in school with apple hardware, and was turned into a fanboi who will now line up hundreds deep at "the store" to buy the latest massively overpriced apple 'thing'.

That's not a good comparison. It's just an advertising piece bashing Collabora.

If it had been a good comparison, it would have listed pros and cons of both solutions, rather than only pros for one, and only cons for the other.

The "comparison" really only points out three issues:

Collabora runs an instance of Libreoffice on the server. This must be taken into account when considering resource limits when scaling, and latency and bandwidth to the client(s).

Collabora's handling of OOXML (.docx/.xlsx/.pptx) is much worse than OnlyOffice's. You must take them at their word for this!

For collaborative editing, modes (bold/italic/font sizes etc), Collabora uses the same state for all clients. You must take their word for this. I also tested Collabora very briefly (using NextCloud's demo[1]), and the toolbar is client side, which means it could very well be that modes are not shared.

Of course, none of this is particularly surprising considering it was posted by OnlyOffice themselves.

The "drop" is not a statement terminator or separator.

There is a stack. You push values on the stack, then you call a function. The function takes its arguments off the stack, and pushes the return value(s) on the stack.

If you do not need the return value (which seems to be the case in your example) you ignore it by just removing it from the stack.

That's what the drop is for.

It's asymmetric; it is significantly easier to make a clear image harder to read than it is making a fuzzy image clearer, and the same applies to data sets.

There might be swaths of teams all focused on enriching the data, but you eventually can't derive more information out of a deliberately flat information graph, and all it takes is a few extreme data points to distort the average.

The only _sensible_ thing you can do if the transmitter won't stop is to ignore them, and thus drop packets, yes.

Queueing them up instead makes some artificial benchmark numbers look good but is a horrible end user experience, so you should never do this, but lots of crap home WiFi type gear does.

So, as I said, bandwidth limits and delay are different. The canonical "station wagon full of tapes" is illustrative, it has _tremendous_ bandwidth but _enormous_ delays. In contrast a mid-century POTS telephone call from London to Glasgow has almost no delay (barely worse than the speed of light) but bandwidth is tightly constrained.

I use netdata on a single server at work, and it is great. However, I wish it had a easy way to downsample historic stats and save them somewhere for analysis.

That would make it incredibly more useful.
USA wants nuclear weapons because because it’s the USA, it wants them as a tool to poke the world with to get whatever it wants and it wants them to be able to perpetuate their unhanded regime.

Your statement can be made to fit any country that has a nuclear arsenal or wants one.
USA and it's NATO lackies are bullies, pure and simple. USA wants to move it's embassy to Jerusalem, most countries don't agree and USA tries to bully them in the UN. Just because you're the biggest kid in school doesn't give you a justification for bullying smaller ones.
But conversely, I'd lay money on North Korea wanting nuclear weapons just to piss off the USA, and see what the USA will respond with. It's pretty standard tactics for enemies to annoy each other and Trump and Kim are the worst kind of idiots in charge of a country because neither one is willing to back down. All this boils down to is a dick measuring contest between the USA and NK, nothing more.
That bit doesn't bother me so much. Its the way the data is used to influence elections and Zuckerbergs attitude that annoy me.

Syntax is literally the first thing people coming to a language see. Hence the complaints :)

If something clicks immediately for you ,might not click immediately (or at all) for others ;) However, Rust's potential syntax issues arise from the fact that they try to express complex concepts within a limited set of characters (and it's a problem any sufficiently complex language will face), so of course people will complain :)

I know. De facto it's for separating parts of the computation ("statements").
Bufferbloat is potentially almost unlimited, assuming that the people who built it are idiots (a safe assumption for most consumer gear) it basically just depends how much they were willing to spend on RAM.

For example, let's say we can move 10Mbps, and we've decided to use 10 megabytes of buffers to make our new WiFi router super-duper fast. Do a big download, the buffer fills with ten megabytes of data, that's eight whole seconds of transmission, now the latency of packets is eight seconds, so that's 8000 times larger than your "I assume less then 1ms".

You need buffers to maintain high bandwidth. There is no way around that. The problem is lack of AQM in end user routers - where a single high bandwidth flow can fill up and hog those buffers, disrupting latency sensitive flows. We're slowly seeing some adoption of things like fq_codel, but it's not perfect since the user has to go and manually enter their upload/download speeds (which again are not easy to determine, especially for ISPs with "boost" limiting). Ideally home routers would dynamically adjust based on observed latencies.

Actually, I don't like it when advertising is mixed into/entangled with content. At the first glance, from the authors perspective, it sounds tricky because it is unobstructive and discrete, this kind of ad people might not want to block.

As a user, I feel manipulated. I don't trust the content any more which is not properly limited from the ads. My point is not even about adblockers or ads in general, it is just that I don't want to consume a text which does not even hide its intention to manipulate me.

However I admit that the flagging and placement of advertising is probably a matter of taste.

The -> syntax plays nicely with the stack nature of the language. It's basically just a word that pops TOS, and as a special effect it introduces a name with that value. (IIUIC, I didn't study the language.)
