I don't know about that. Unseen Diplomacy [0] uses similar tricks to simulate a much larger space than the size of the room. It requires a minimum area of 3m x 4m, which is within the size of many people's rooms (admittedly, I only managed to find this much space when I temporarily had no furniture in the room). It's quite an effective experience.

For me, the answer is to not put your personality on FB. Just put on the platitudes of your life, and like the platitudes of your friends' lives. "Look my kid did this". "Isn't the weather great today". "Glad you weren't hurt in that disaster".

I log in most days, but all I do is ack my friends. When I put something on, it's some BS that lets them ack me. I don't think it takes me more than a few seconds to scroll through and hit like.

Next to that there's the occasional "I'm in town" which is a call for a face-to-face.

Why is it so hard for some people of European descent to believe that non-European people may have crossed oceans in non-European ways, without Europeans ever hearing about it? For goodness sake, look at the pyramids. European people still aren't totally sure how those things were built. There are theories, but you don't know what's possible/impossible.

Essentially that's what's going on in this conversation.

It's the same reason why the macbook pro tops out at 16 GB, most laptops use U series CPU's and optimize for thinness.

The U series CPU's are typically matched with (soldered) LPDDR3 for battery life and thinness, which maxes out at 16 GB. The Xeon and H series CPU's are matched with DDR4 for performance and therefore can go past 16 GB. AFAIK the U series CPU's with 32 GB will come with the cannon lake generation with LPDDR4 support, which should start shipping this year.

Lenovo used to sell the T470p which marries an H series CPU with a small (but not thin) form factor, but since the 8th gen U series chips now also have 4 cores / 8 threads (basically matching the 7th gen H series for performance) they've silently dropped that line, opting for a simpler line-up based on U series across the board, topping out at 16 GB in many cases.
Just spent about 30 minutes trying to install and connect to a hub. Ended up at a GitHub bug report with no way forward.

not fair as those water jets can cut through just about everything.
I'm a big fan of Jekyll (and more recently, Gatsby), and I think you're correct in saying that in most cases where a CMS is used, a static site generator would be a better option.

However, I see a couple of problems standing in the way of more widespread adoption of static site generators:

1) I've never seen a static site generator that non-technical users felt comfortable with. Programmers like terminal interfaces. Your average user in 2018 has probably never opened the terminal.

2) Possibly even more significant, I don't think the people making the choice to use a CMS for a simple business-info or blog site are aware of the trade-offs that they're making, or of the benefits that a static site will provide down the line. For a lot of small business owners I've spoken with, Wordpress is basically synonymous with "web presence."

I wonder if there's a market for a web-based GUI like what Wordpress provides, but which runs jekyll under the hood and uploads the files to s3 or something like that. Is this what companies like Squarespace and Wix do?

As someone who has done extensive mindfulness training and recommends it to others, I would actually argue that lack of mindfulness, of other emotional and psychological skills is the source of the problem many times. If you look at foxconn or some other slave-ish companies in China then yes, perhaps conditions are really harsh. But for most western companies it is not the case. People are not stressed because the life is somehow very complicated - they are stressed because in our culture they are not given proper tools in the childhood: very few families have this in their ethos, and public education is completely lacking in this regard.

Facebook's uniqueness, in reach, magnitude of damage, and negligence, has been qualitatively demonstrated, by its actions and employees' defenses of said actions, over the past months.
I guess it’s all a matter of taste. Looking at the current state of affairs I would love to be part of the work. A need to improve production greatly while cutting costs (for the products) means it’s a time where there is a lot of investment in the process. New machines, new flows and lots of things that need to be made. I have a background in the semiconductor industry and the times like these, the make or break periods where fantastic. Work turned into a sport and you and everyone else came together like an underdog team that had a shot at the World Cup! Sure working 70 hours a week and sometimes a critical 24 hour day isn’t healthy. But there was never any management pressure to do this, that was us taking it upon ourselves because try as they may, management couldn’t drag us away from the line.

Looking forwards Tesla will settle into a much gentler pace, and it will become the same old incremental production cycle plant mentality thats shared by so many. But right now it must be amazing to be on the floor, even if it is exhausting.
Some of you posting raw message sources might find a website I built useful:

https://www.parsemail.org

From my about page:

"Paste the raw source of an email into the form on the front page. The email will then be parsed, decoded, separated into its various MIME parts, and displayed in an easy to view fashion. Image attachments will be displayed as images. HTML parts will be rendered in webkit (with javascript and plugins disabled) and then also displayed as an image. IP addresses in headers and message bodies will be identified and highlighted along with a flag representing their origin country. Hostnames and email addresses will also be identified and highlighted."
In Paris, African have been glued together as poor problematic immigrants, social scapegoats of some sort, thus they regularly complain together about racism, form rap bands, etc

All in all I guess locality and blood ties reign supreme.

Namibia was probably too far to have links with old Egypt. The egyptian empire documents show that they were very aware and informed about people living in the current Italy and Greece at north, Irak/Syria at east, and make war with Lybia at west and Sudan at South.

They were a bureaucratic society. To cross the central rainforest and the Kalahari desert to trade with South Africa and do not reflect it in their documents seems unlikely to me (but I'm not an expert in this field).

This said, finding a wild Nicotiana in Egypt today is a childs game. Nicotiana glauca, an escaped american species appears everywhere in all Mediterranean countries. Could easily slip into any local plant mix aiming to give some good ol' autenthicity to a modern mummy.
As I read it, this piece wasn't that much about load balancers but rather about teaching.

She experienced trouble explaining a problem in a way the students would understand, so she came up with a better method.
The public needs to demand anything like respect for user privacy by putting pressure on the company. For that, the public needs to be aware of the issue. And for awareness a discussion needs to be kept alive. Like we do here in this post. So posting and commenting in HN matters.

I was participating this year in a big street protest calling for police to keep investigating the prime minister for corruption.

The pressure lead to public exposure and accelerated investigation immediately.

Do you have a link to any documentation mentioning this?

As far as I’m aware - using ELBs heavily day to day - it doesn’t maintain a backlog and simply distributes requests on a round robin basis the moment they come in. There is no queue of waiting requests I don’t believe. If the request can’t be fulfilled immediately, it is rejected.

For robotics and other control applications I highly recommend looking at the Odrive as well.
FYI, Golang port: https://github.com/timdp/lwc-golang
That's why I like random load balancing. If each machine is powerful enough and can handle a few thousand users then the distribution averages out.

Smart load balancers are only really necessary if you have inefficient servers that can't handle more than 100 connections per second and they're difficult to get right.

If you toss a coin 10 times, you're much more likely to get >=80% heads than if you were to toss that coin 1000 times.
My last employer didn't understand this.

Currently they have to deal with at least 5 different CMS, 4 shopping systems, and some hand made sites with at least 4 different frameworks. 2 backend languages. And legacy code with self written frameworks in PHP 4 on at least 2 important sites.
The project I work on, Netlify CMS (https://www.netlifycms.org/), is almost precisely what you described in your last paragraph.I say "only" because it only officially supports GitHub as a backend at the moment, from which you can deploy to a host. (I'm also currently working on supporting more backends, so that will change soon.) The CMS is an open-source (MIT license) CMS built as a static web page which connects to an API for an arbitrary backend from your browser and edits the content stored there - from there, you can build the content with whatever static site generator you want. This lets you build sites that non-technical users can keep up-to-date without tying yourself to a specific tech stack for the actual website.

The new changes that Facebook will launch on advertisers for ad targeting
Maybe some people dismissed her problem as 'impossible' because she didn't inform what kind of load balancing technique was the load balancer using?

I suspect what happened is that they didn't understand the problem, and so resorted to ineffective means to steer
the attention away from their own inadequacies.

With something like Hugo, you only need a single executable and all you have to do is decide on a theme, write Markdown files, and compile it on a shell/cmd/powershell with a command you can save in a text file for later reference.

Imho if you are really wanting to write a blog and host it yourself, this should not be too hard to learn. Wordpress doesn't install itself automatically, either.

When you look a the figures at WADA, men are caught doping more often than females and women earn much less in sports. In Sweden, the women's national hockey team has to balance a day job with their sport.

Now, even the figures by WADA are not perfect (since women require lower levels of the agent to raise performance and might just not get caught) but I feel we should discuss the incentives for doping. I sure as hell don't want teenagers making stupid decisions about their health for the prospect of becoming a millionaire celebrity before they're 30.

The exploit is in file uploads. Nothing to do with comments. The first published exploit pointed at user registration which had a profile picture upload field.

The last time switching off comments helped (as far as I can remember but note I only remember the more serious secholes) was 13 years ago and the only reason that wasn't called Drupalgeddon because barely anyone used it back then and naming them wasn't in fashion (and we had two more RCE bugs the first half of 2005 anyways before we kicked out the old XML-RPC library and replaced it with a better one) ... but DRUPAL-SA-2005-002 was very, very long ago. And while Adrian wrote form API around the same time for theming purposes, we ran with it to avoid that kind of bug happening again. We? Or... just me? should I take the blame? It was an ... emerging decision but a lot of it were on me. As they years has passed, form API became frighteningly complex and a lot of that is certainly on me, someone misused it and bam! Drupalgeddon2 . It makes me sad but I do not feel guilty. I felt guilty for Drupalgeddon because that was a silly one, more of a process fail than a technical one, this was not silly, this was just too complex. Frankly, catching the bug in D7 was very near impossible, whoever ported this code to D8 should've seen it because it clearly violated the most fundamental form API principles but when you are busy porting so much code, it slipped through the cracks. Just as Rachel said for Drupalgeddon: I shouldn't feel guilty, others could've caught it too. And, after all, I am out now so it has nothing to do with me any more. Or that's what I am telling myself these empty, sad days and nights.

Facebook made my life better, but that does not matter to you, because my life without Facebook would revert back to bad which you are completely cool with. That is the core of your argument.

> But what the FB does is creating a false sense of friendship,

That is something you made up. You

>, instead of focusing to a few people you really like,

I am focusing on poeple I really like and Facebook made it easier for me to do so.

> go for a beer with them, actually bond or find another friend,

That assumes many free evenings and physical proximity with similar people. That assumes that going regularly for beer as an easily available option that does not costs other things that are important - work time, children time and other duties time.

> At the end you finish with not having a single real friend in your live, but you rather spend a lot of time on chatting with irelevant people.

That is life. That is also infinitely better then being alone. Having close friends physically present around me with a lot of time on both sides might be even better, but that is not here not there. You ignore the actual choice "shallow or nothing at all" and talk about made up choice "shallow or best friend".

I guess that you have zero idea what it is like to be socially isolated. That is happy for you, but people unlike you exist. Your response to them is just a bunch of condescension.

> FB gives you a false feeling that your social life is ok, while here you know that you only chat with strangers.

Again, you made that up. You dont know what feeling I or other people have, so you project cluelessness into them. People are not off the grid because of Facebook, people were off the grid all the time. Both those with and without Facebook, due to how life is lived.

That is why it became successful in the first place, too many people found what it provides helpful.

I did not downvoted you, but I guess it happened because you built your argument of projecting worst possible motivation on people who are not like you.
Great to see this! I was getting mad at all this SPAM coming from myself today!

Wow. I've been facing this since yesterday night, didn't know the entire internet is facing this problem. There's still no official response from Google it seems.
This is only if you consider that every message is urgent and must be seen immediately, which is rarely the case.

I turned of notifications because they were too distracting, and that only made things better. I still chat with my friends, but I do so only when I pick up my phone voluntarily.

People get also use to the fact that they don’t get an immediate reply when they write you, and they stop expecting it. Interactions are more relaxed.
The P series is an exception.
I bought my t470p last year (2560x1440 variant) and its the best software dev laptop I’ve ever bought.

Several of the top CS programs specifically do not teach details like configuring a load balancer as with a proper background in computer science it is assumed that you can figure out the latest programming languages and the install instructions for popular software packages. It would thus be a waste of a very expensive degree as you could learn about configuring LAMP and a load balancer at a trade school instead of a theoretical research university.

No one hires MIT grads because they graduate with more extensive load balancer knowledge.
Yeah, the more recent versions are limited to one slot of 4GB or 8GB that's soldered on the MB, and then the second slot is maxed out at 16GB. So, you can't get to 32GB.

I had 16 GB of ram in 2010 and it was not even a top computer at the time
I totally agree. I deleted my facebook about 5 years ago and I now find myself extremely isolated socially. Friends made the effort for a little while, but eventually I'm sure I was just forgotten by the more distant friends and my social circle has dwindled to almost nothing. This doesn't really bother me though, it's sort of a natural filter whereby "low value" relationships are weeded out.

Probably more significant is the impact of not being able to make new friends in the same way. The communities that surround my hobbies seem to be concentrated on facebook. When I make new friends at the face-to-face events the friendship doesn't transition to anything more significant because there's no followup connection on social media. This seems to be one of the modern ways that friendships are built - meet IRL, connect via social network and then always have a connection of some sort which allows the relationship to grow if nurtured. In my case I don't see or talk to these people until the next physical meetup and so I'm "out of sight, out of mind". It seems to me that other newcomers join the group IRL and on social media and are quickly integrated, but I'm just some guy that occasionally shows up.

Indeed, it makes more sense at home rather than in a makerspace. But you'd be very unlikely to make the money back compared to sending it out to a professional shop.

He was not just fall guy, he was one of leaders who not just doped, but also pressured others to dope. The pressuring, organizing and leadership part makes it worst then if he would "just doped like everybody else".

If we give credit and admiration to leaders when they do good, as is pretty common here, we should give them analogous considerations when they do bad.
