Ask HN: How to not be intimidated by people with higher credentials?
I work in a place where nearly everyone has an ivy league degree, I've always been a slacker when it comes to education and not academically gifted at all.

How do I avoid becoming insecure about my background? I'm confident in what I do but sometimes I feel like I might be missing something critical that's only found in elite circles.
Are there any resulting data we can look at? Did anybody find wrote about actually running this for a while and seeing anything cool emerge?
Thanks, agreed this is a good idea and I added query param support here: https://github.com/toddwschneider/stocks/pull/4
Does anyone have this working for both the www subdomain and the root domain? I have the www subdomain working fine, but I get an invalid cert error when attempting to access the root domain with HTTPS. The cert it's attempting to use is for www.github.com .

Oh I see. I work on OPT, but am not Mexican or Canadian citizen. I think all STEM majors who studied in an American university have the right to work in US for 3 years in a job very close to what they studied.
Open IP the cert you're using and see what other sites are listed on it. It probably includes a lot of sites that aren't yours. GitHub + Let's Encrypt gives you a clean cert for just your hostnames.
Sounds like a reasonable operation to set up. Goldman is ostensibly in the business of selling shovels in a gold rush so if enough of their clients are demanding a product that gives then exposure to bitcoin then Goldman senses there's money to be made here in fees.
> I think they'll block 8.8.8.8 if the anger for blocking 1.1.1.1 isn't too loud.

On what basis? Google started Google Public DNS in 2009 and, as far as I know, it was never intentionally blocked by any ISPs. The issue with 1.1.1.1 is a lot of hardware treats it as though it was reserved for private networks. For instance, I can't access 1.1.1.1 right now since I'm connected to a Cisco router. So this could very well be a technical issue.

But even if 1.1.1.1 is taking off more than 8.8.8.8 did, your assuming the DNS queries people are sending are secure anyway. I'll admit I'm not completely up-to-date on the whole "DNS over TLS" thing but I haven't noticed any support for it on my fully-updated Windows machine or Android phone. I'd love for someone to correct me, but I don't believe any major electronics ship with secure DNS by default. If people are sending DNS queries unencrypted the ISPs can just sniff them.
Yeah I personally see Qt code is much cleaner.
The Legend of Dolphin: A Lens Between Worlds
I'm thinking of writing a book about tower-under-desk computing. It's surprisingly common.
We get a lot of support from the NYC networking community, and we have a lot of friends at the NYNOG meetups. Everyone is very helpful and they also want the big ISPs to have some competition, so we get donations from quite a few people. Some also join our network and get nodes on their own roofs and help with other installs!

DE-CIX is the biggest IXP and they measure their network in terabits/sec. It is not a big deal for them to donate us a 1 gig connection. (it's a big deal for us!) Eventually we may upgrade it to 10 gig.
This is one thing that is strongly in Tesla's favor. A pivot to SUVs and trucks has essentially zero geopolitical/oilprice risk, unlike every other domestic automobile maker which is gambling big time that gas prices don't continue to increase. I'm not sure Ford (focusing nearly exclusively on trucks) could survive a sustained $4/gallon gas price again, let alone whatever the gas price would be if the "$300 per barrel" scenario [0] happened (even for just a few months).

Gas prices are about $1/gallon higher than they were when the Model 3 was unveiled and Tesla got a huge backlog of orders. That's about $5000 in additional gas savings over the life of the vehicle (some of that in the form of residual used value). OPEC is still cutting back, and they want oil at about $80/barrel, up from the current ~$65. Gas prices arguably still haven't reached equilibrium for the current price of oil, and continued under-investment in oil capacity during the last slump could lead to significantly higher oil prices going forward, particularly if the global economy stays fairly strong. This is incredibly good for Tesla.

So I think Tesla has more going for it than a lot of people give credit. Theoretically, other car makers could've switched to electric tech, too (it's fairly simple, although it takes investment), but just about the only car makers who are TRULY serious about it (versus talking about it) are in China. Certainly when compared to other domestic car makers.

Yes, but it's a matter of degree, and what you posted was a degree worse.

Imagine what the world would be like if everyone had the same attitude towards other people's attention and time as you do.

I'm sure this behaviour doesn't seem like a big deal to you because relatively few people are so inconsiderate.
Everybody who wants to run Rancher with zero initial setup can use our managed Kubernetes/Rancher service which we launched today: https://www.KubeBox.com

We are still in closed beta but if you are interested, please sign up and we will activate your account asap.

Personally, I think Rancher 2.0 is a fantastic add-on to any Kubernetes cluster for managing projects, users, groups, permissions and workloads and I would like to congratulate Rancher to their release.
I'm on ATT right now and I can't go to https://1.1.1.1 right now.

It works fine when I disable WiFi on my phone (Verizon).
>If it's cheaper they could charge less,

You definitely misunderstand cloud pricing.
> I can't access 1.1.1.1 right now since I'm connected to a Cisco router.

I've never seen or heard of a Cisco router doing anything that would interfere with access to 1.1.1.1.

Their wireless LAN controllers on the other hand, use 1.1.1.1 as the default (but entirely configurable) Virtual IP to use as an anchor for the captive portal.

If you can't access 1.1.1.1 behind a Cisco router it's likely because someone set it up incorrectly.
Is this the same actual codebase that is running in production on Google's core infrastructure? Or is it more like Kubernetes, that is to say: an distinct open reimplementation based on the experience of running the in-house system?
Nothing misleading here, they compared their project's cost to the Elastic Transcoder audio pricing.

Elastic Transcoder Audio is $0.00450 per minute [1], this article says that with Lambda it cost "$0.00008273 per minute of audio, a full factor of 54 times less than Elastic Transcoder.".

0.00450 / 0.00008273 = 54

Hi All,

We're excited to share with you the launch of a new platform for sharing and love to hear your thoughts!
What is the likelihood of obtaining net neutrality through the courts? I.E. Cloudflare sues -> judicial process -> decision that establishes a "right to access"?
I think your comment is well-intentioned (I upvoted) but I respectfully disagree. I think wanting Python to be a bit faster is similar to wanting Haskell to have a little bit of mutability. Engineering with restrictions is a good thing, we can do great systems in Haskell because it's a very neat language even though it lacks mutability. We also can do great systems in Python because it's a very neat language even though it's a bit slow. Sure, you can always optimize Python's performance, that's a legitimate problem and it takes a few engineers to solve it. But it's more interesting to work around Python's slowness by engineering tricks such as better algorithms etc.
Well it seems to be working fine for them right now.

So I guess the points you brought up don't matter.
We launched https://www.KubeBox.com beta today. You get a fully managed cluster, control plane and nodes. And you can start with a single node cluster with 8GB RAM and 2vCPU for $36/month. Additionally you can get Rancher auto-installed for managing projects, users, groups, permissions and workloads.

We are in early beta but if you are interested, please sign up and we will activate your account asap.

If you want to talk, we are at KubeCon Europe, contact @geku on Twitter.
That's not really representative of the majority of commuters.

I have a Volt, and the range is definitely enough. I can commute twice round-trip on a single charge. I do about 90% of miles electric, so I'm working that extra battery very hard. And it makes a very good hybrid on road trips.

The engine doesn't have to run very often, maybe 30 seconds every month or two, which normally happens on long trips anyway.
Supressed History: Is Evolution a Myth?
Japan culture is very different than US. There is inherent respect obtained from having a job, any job, and dedicated yourself to it no matter how small. Being without a job or worse, homeless, brings much shame to that person and their family. There is strong social pressure to maintain your career and pour many many hours into it.
It's not. You can test it on your system. In every case I've seen, Python starts up faster than PyPy. Neither takes a super long time.

PyPy has some great performance characteristics, but startup time isn't one of them.
Everything there is an example, not actual best practice. But a lot of admins probably just go with 'eh, my textbook used 1.1.1.1, so will I'.

Really the only place I saw 1.1.1.1 regularly though is to set the router ID, and making a loopback address is not the best way to do that to begin with.

Now, taking the case of a user pulling out a USB thumb drive as an excuse for not keeping the dirty pages around seems ... disingenuous?

If the storage device has disappeared for good, you can just return EIO for all further I/O operations, and mark all open file descriptions for which there were dirty pages such that any further fsync() calls on the corresponding fds return an error?

I mean, either you think you can still retry, then you should keep the dirty page around, or you think retrying is futile, then feel free to drop the dirty pages, but make sure anyone who tries something that would make this loss visible gets an error, which should only require keeping flags on open file descriptions, and possibly pages/inodes/block devices that (semi-)persist the error at the desired resolution, which you can broaden if the bookkeeping uses too much memory.
One element I find fascinating about the cryptocurrency / blockchain / ICO debates on HN and elsewhere is that there are 2 diametrically opposed sides with passionate advocates. On one side are the boosters that think it is a great innovation with enormous potential. The other side thinks blockchain is practically useless, the most overhyped technology ever created, a bubble never-before seen in history.

Yet every day there are stories (such as this article) showing crypto becoming more deeply ingrained in mainstream circles. New projects and new companies are forming consistently, just like with any new disruptive technology. But some very knowledgable people continue to argue with passion that the entire technology is a useless fraud!

However this pans out, there are going to be a lot of people on one side that were totally, completely wrong. I doubt there is much middle ground for this.

Linden labs. A dying company. Not sure what this is relevant for.
Remote kernels over SSH aren't that hard -- I do this all the time via SSH tunnels. I start Jupyter Lab in an SSH console (usually on a cloud-based VM), and create a tunnel to port 8888 (the default) using my Windows SSH app (Bitvise). 1 port. That's it.

I want the opposite. I want to use a remote kernel with a local client.
I doubt they are interested in providing liquidity for an unproven technology and currency though.
Likely 0% chance. The court cannot just go off and make up its own laws because it wants to, all it can do is decide how existing laws should be applied.
Uh; still not sure, but given no clear "extra features" confirmation, I guess this means just a domain name change for end-users (?). Unless the "more to share" is a cryptic allusion to potentially some new features? But super vague if so.

That's not a great analogy. Haskell is a neat language in part because it doesn't have mutability. Python is a neat language despite being slow.

I can't imagine anyone would object if Python could magically be 10x faster. I can't say the same thing for the Haskell thing.

The concern seems to be moderation (but they haven't made a clear statement about it either). The current pace of updates is slower than what they were doing a year ago, so it probably isn't a technical thing.

Their routing engine updates more frequently than the rendering data.
Similarly, you can compile ffmpeg on Lambda, in 0.5 minutes, for 9 cents.[1] Versus 10 min on one core, for ~free. And while -j200 of ffmpeg is nice, -j1000 of the linux kernel is... wow, like seeing the future.

There's an impressive amount of negativity in these comments. A community-run mesh network? HN should be all over it, but it appears to have turned into a bunch of network engineers telling us why they are very smart and it won't work, or is "insignificant".

More power to you, NYC Mesh.
JSC is very fast, and the RN runtime is intended to be a fairly limited API, so I wouldn't necessarily say the access to the Node core packages is hugely beneficial. But it's a fair point.

I'm not sure why JIT is relevant. Neither JSC nor Node do any JITting.
I remember reading this several years ago, and it brings back memories of the two times I was very close to drowning.

The first time I was about 13 years old, and was swimming in the Mediterranean. Me and a friend had swim out to a raft, and when we where swimming back to the beach we made a bad decision to swim against the wind to a floating rope, instead of straight in. After about half the way I was exhausted, but I realized it in time, and turn on my back I yelled for help. My friend didn't notice, but people from the raft noticed and helped me.

The second time was in a lake, and I must have been about 20 years old. A lot of friends was swimming out and I followed, only to realize that it suddenly was too deep to stand on the bottom. I turned around and began to swim back to the beach. This time I felt the panic. I used all my energy to swim back, trying to keep my head above the water. Another friend was on the beach, recording me with his video camera (with zoom). Calling for help was not an option in my head. All energy went to keeping the mouth above the water. I exhaled under water, to maximize the time I had to inhale while the mouth was above water. I remember thinking "Stop filming and help me". Finally I felt the bottom again, and could stand on it. I have never seen that video recording and I don't remember if I ever told him how close he was to record my downing in full color...

> It certainly doesn't indicate dissatisfaction with the fact that the money for those vouchers comes out of tax receipts!

You're basically arguing a tautology: Because there's no legal way to fully opt out of the system if they dislike it, people can't leave it (by your definition), and you're then saying that, because people don't fully leave the system, that means they don't dislike it.

40% of people choose not to use Medicare, to the extent that's legally possible. The program that they choose to use instead outperforms Medicare on every key performance indicator (medical outcomes, cost, patient satisfaction), while also underperforming the same private insurers on those same indicators. It takes some real contortions to look at that data and use it as evidence in favor of a single-payer system, or even evidence that patients like Medicare, but if you're fully committed to interpreting available data in a way that supports that end goal, I guess that's all we can really say.

They've done this before, during, and after net neutrality. AT&T regularly blocks entire ranges at the IP level because they are "suspected of cyberattacks." I've frequently had issues with web hosts who are blocked only on AT&T, and this was the case in October-November (before the FCC vote) while I was launching a new site.
> The number of edges scales O(n^2), where n is the number of people in the network.

I don't see how this is true for any reasonable definition of "edge". It's certainly not the case that every node directly communicates with every other node; if they did, you wouldn't need a mesh.
You have to account for the fact that you used so many algorithms, though. Using ten different algorithm makes it ten times more likely you'll fit your dataset well just by chance.

Last time I saw this story, years ago, I did a little looking around to determine if it was just one person's theory or something generally accepted by experts. It's an important question; misinformation about drowning could get people killed.

I couldn't find evidence of its acceptance by experts - every mention of the theory led back to the same person. But my time and resources were limited, and I have no expertise in this area myself; it's very possible I just didn't know where to look. Does anyone know if this theory is widely accepted by the people who know better than I do?

I had a similar feeling a while back, but when I actually picked up Lua for a project I was shocked by how limited the standard library is. Third party libraries aside (which Python clearly has in spades), even just the standard library is pretty sparse. It makes sense, since Lua is at least partly motivated by being lean and embeddable, but it puts Lua in a completely different space for me.

The issue is that the cable companies have monopolies set in law already. There are numerous regulations designed to stop any new last-mile telecom companies from starting up, which literally guarantees a monopoly for the few companies that already exist in the vast majority of the US. As good as Net Neutrality sounds in theory, all we really need to do is drop the regulations and allow new players to enter the game and the market will fix it for itself.
