Well, I gained ~70 kg during the year after I finally quit smoking tobacco. And I've never managed to completely lose it.

But overall, I'm better off fatter and not smoking. I smell better, if nothing else. And my skin isn't yellow.
This all seems incredible.

If your characterizations are accurate they defrauded your users as well and in a major way. Many of your users wouldn't wish to continue using your software if its leadership got changed in a deceitful manner. If I'm reading this correctly they were pushed essentially a fork they haven't agreed to. Care to name names in case some users on HN fell pray to this fraud and possibly provide proof that what you allege did occur?

> I was wiped out of the AUTHORS file.

INAL. If they wiped your name from license text then you may also have a strong case for copyright infringement as many licenses require attribution.
Q2 2015 was an anomaly and Cook even said so at that time.

We run stateful apps on Kubernetes. There are obvious rough areas (the lack of persistent volume resizing, for example, which is scheduled for 1.11), but overall, it's great.

What a lot of naysayers leave out, or choose to ignore, is that the challenges running stateful apps on Kubernetes mirror those of running stateful apps anywhere. If you run Postgres on a VM, for example, you're completely reliant on that VM staying up -- this is no different from Kubernetes. Some will also point out the dangers of co-locating lots of software (such as Postgres) on the same machine as many other containers, as they will compete for CPU and I/O; but this is also no different than on Kubernetes, which provides plenty of tools (affinities/anti-affinities, node selectors) to isolate containers to machines. And so on. Containers bring some new challenges, but Kubernetes meets them quite well.

What specific issues do you have? I'm not sure I understand the point about routing. I also don't understand what the "pain" of stateful sets refers to.
Note that none of those things are impossible on kubernetes, k8s just doesn't offer them by default (which is good IMO).

There are projects that help you run databases in kubernetes and also make backups of many things hosted:

- Automatic CephFS for your cluster -> https://rook.io/docs/rook/master/

- Backups for cluster resources and volumes -> https://github.com/heptio/ark

- Spin up dynamic postgres clusters -> https://github.com/zalando-incubator/postgres-operator

Databases are just applications with different resource needs. Please stop pushing forward the notion that they can't be run in containers or container orchestration systems. Databases are just programs. If the substrate for running your containers doensn't reliably support flock or fsync or something your database needs, then maybe pick a better substrate that does -- container runtimes these days and kubernetes don't stand in your way these days.
This is a classic example of 'more money than sense.'

I bet that $25K you pay on your property taxes would be 1/5 that almost anywhere else, excepting maybe DC or New York.

The comment I was replying to said the claims had no meaning, not referring to the FDA.

They might be "meaningless" to actual medical professionals or people with decent knowledge of the ways that companies skirt product labelling laws. But the average layperson who might buy these products is probably neither of those things and is more likely to interpret them literally.
There's another thing I've noticed with Rust. I get a lot of some code benefits that I've seen from functional languages(understanding inputs/outputs, preventing mutation) from Rust's ownership model.

If you want full function? Just don't pass/use anything that's mut.

Need to break that contract for performance? You still have single-ownership which gives you 90% of the above but with no performance penalty.

You still get logic errors/etc but it's a great no-compromise solution when you can afford the time to get your ownership right.

Portfolio companies using other portfolio companies for various reasons is really common. Sometimes it's that they give discounts or freebies to each other. Sometimes it's some personal preference or relationship of the VC giving a favor. It's not necessarily nefarious.

Considering the enormous scale of the universe, I don't think it's unrealistic to have huge error bars on measurements at that scale. And in any event, estimation might be a better word than measurements.
It isn't just students that are cheating, it goes all the way up to the top of academia. I know a professor that reviews for a major journal who says he can't even keep up with the submissions from Chinese researchers because most of the time the entire paper is plagerised, the submission is canned without a second glance. Fucking sucks for the legitimate Chinese students and researchers but I guess when, "if you can cheat, then cheat." becomes one of the most well known idioms in your culture, you can't be too surprised. Just have to try extra hard to break the mold, I guess.

Heh - one day I aspire to be burned by having John Carmack drop in on a comment thread of mine to point out I'm wrong: "I don't see any reason why an iPhone couldn't run renderman and render ToyStory." ;-)
Alpha-gal allergy, or mammalian meat allergy, needs more attention.

Do you have an iPhone X? I'm not a big fan of Apple; I've been rooting for Android for years, and I carry two phones: a Google phone and an Apple phone.

IMO the iPhone X opened up the widest lead for iPhone there's ever been (and for work reasons I have had every generation of iPhone, and a recent high-end Android phone, usually Google's Nexus then Pixel models).

When I use the fingerprint sensor on my Pixel 2 XL, I feel like a caveman rubbing sticks together trying to make a fire. The face recognition Apple did is absolutely a huge, huge upgrade. I want that on all my devices including computers and doors.

When I see them side by side on my desk in their angled charging docks, the iPhone X screen is so much better than the Pixel 2 XL, it is hard to believe they are both using the same fundamental OLED display technology.

When I compare the precision-machined metal and awesome balanced hand-feel of the iPhone X with the plasticky cheap crap feel of the Pixel 2 XL, I wonder if Google even knows what a nice tool is supposed to feel like.

When start to use my iPhone X to ask Siri something verbally, I... go like Wait, what the fuck am I doing?? and reach into the other pocket and pull out the Google phone.

What I am trying to say, though, is that even coming from all the previous iPhones, the iPhone X is a fantastic upgrade, it feels to me like the biggest advance over the previous generation that iPhone has ever seen. The software still kind of sucks, as it has since iOS 7, but in terms of the device, I don't think it is disappointing at all when compared to any/all devices that have ever existed.

Only perhaps when compared to people's imaginary ideas of what the cutting-edge next-gen iPhone might be, could it really disappoint.
I doubt you are trouble, it's a natural question.

On the surface every networked call feels like a method call, so absolutely, within any other language it could be done with a nicely prepared API wrapper for a similar type of connector. And, ultimately, that is what happens within a lot of ESB products that standardize how a connector should be deployed, versioned, and consumed by client applications within that environment.

Beyond that, though, the approach to the language design and the underlying implementation of connectors offers simplicity benefits that should make consuming new connectors easier and more reliable. A few things:
1. All network-bound calls are required to use arrow `->` notations instead of dot `.` to make some important distinctions. One is that sequence diagrams make this distinction and we can auto-generate sequence diagrams from any code file as the code structure is designed to reflect how integrators model their services.

2. Treating an endpoint as a native keyword and how that endpoint object is initialized within the language makes it opinionated, which ultimately makes configuration of some complex connectors simpler than what would be seen in API wrappers. If you take a look at the circuit breaker example, the circuit breaker is added as a configuration parameter to an outgoing HTTP connection. Of course, other languages can be opinionated about this as well, but they almost always delegate this to an add-on framework, and there are always some minor quirks to how frameworks work with their language of choice. So we get to bypass that and ultimately the syntax gets minimized to the point where it's easier to embrace and learn.

3. The underlying concurrency model in the language's runtime is based upon workers for parallelization, which are how sequence diagrams are modeled. Languages like Java map threads to classes. Node maps threads to the event processor, and so forth. When an HTTP -> call is made, we can do some nice internal optimizations such that while the code that you write will see that network call as a blocking call, behind the scenes, the runtime treats the outbound request as one worker and receiving the response as a second worker. Each worker is mapped to a different thread and you get some nice throughput mechanics because the system's scheduler releases a thread when the request is made. Because we know that any connector's invocation is going over a network with this syntax, there are interesting thread scheduling algorithms we can implement. We are seeing about 5x the TPS with a simple routing service built in Ballerina vs. the same type of service that we would implement in an ESB like Camel or Apache.

There are other thing that the designers will probably comment on, too.

"hacker" news

I have observed that there is a lot of discussion in HN about diets, maybe because trying a diet is like hacking our own body. It's interesting to know that it has been done for a long time and the circumstances. Sex seems the cause :)
Why can’t they use raw HTTP vs HTTPS and use an encrypted payload? That handles the SNI front as they outlined as the detection mechanism hindering them. I’m sure there’s more to it because this seems pretty basic, but curious the reason why this was ruled out.
Could you please update us once it's done? I have got exactly the same issue.
Interesting. In Fairfield County and Westchester, there are lots of parks where I've spent dozens of hours in the woods without ever seeing a tick, and others where I've seen several the first time I've gone. And I'm usually mushroom hunting, so off trail and rubbing against lots of bushes.

That’s a great blog post!

> I agree with Ousterhout's critics who say that the split into scripting languages and systems languages is arbitrary, Objective-C for example combines that approach into a single language, though one that is very much a hybrid itself. The "Objective" part is very similar to a scripting language, despite the fact that it is compiled ahead of time, in both performance and ease/speed of development, the C part does the heavy lifting of a systems language. Alas, Apple has worked continuously and fairly successfully at destroying both of these aspects and turning the language into a bad caricature of Java. However, although the split is arbitrary, the competing and diverging requirements are real, see Erlang's split into a functional language in the small and an object-oriented language in the large.

I still strongly think Apple is taking the wrong approach with Swift by not building on the ObjC hybrid model more.
This is as usual skewed towards big players with lot of money to dump into buying every available .app domain to make some fucking money. As usual the small guys have no chances and it is not first come first serve only. Google just pays lip service but they are just a fucking bunch of liars.
I haven't seen this convincingly demonstrated. Can you point to good examples? The few times I've seen concrete claims they are usually comparing Java code with C code that no performance oriented C programmer would actually write. In certain cases Java can allocate memory faster than generic malloc but in practice in many of those cases a competent C or C++ programmer would be using the stack or a custom bump allocator.

In practice it's quite hard to do really meaningful real world performance comparisons because real world code tends to be quite complex and expensive to port to another language in a way that is idiomatic. My general observation is that where performance really matters to the bottom line or where there is a real culture of high performance code C and C++ still dominate however. This is certainly true in the fields I have most experience in and where there are many very performance oriented programmers: games, graphics and VR.

No cross-caps here. The first puzzle is a torus, the second a Klein bottle. Informally: the Klein bottle has on pair of edges is glued with a twist and one without; with the cross-cap, both pairs of edges are twisted then glued.

Not sure what you mean by this: my landlord can raise my rent for whatever reason (or no reason), by any amount they desire.

I can choose whether or not I want to pay it, of course. But I imagine moderate increases to cover at least some (and maybe all?) of the cost of a property tax increase would be swallowed by most renters, given that moving is also a cost, and often a large one.

Where do you live? I've been bitten by mosquitoes in tropical, temperate, and near-polar zones, and at low, high, and mid elevation, in forests, deserts, jungles, and grasslands. And in cities, too, though maybe that's where they don't thrive, because if they do, they get "treated."
A mate of mine here in Australia recently moved apartment and wanted to flip a whole heap of her stuff (bed frame, lounges, etc.) to downsize. She was using gumtree (the traditional 'I need to sell a lounge/fridge/etc. site used here) but was getting pretty poor responses. She then tried FB Marketplace and found it to be a huge gain in both quantity of responses (~10x) and their quality (people weren't offering her like 20% of what she listed it at).

I also see many uni kids flipping their textbooks and other small belongings on it, because it's really easy and right there in the app everyone looks at all the time. It also targets location, so uni kids living on campus sell directly to other uni kids living on campus and so exchanges become trivially easy.

It may not have disrupted the US market, but it's certainly had an impact elsewhere.

How so? All "rights" are manufactured by humans. We would like to say that "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" are "natural rights", but they're not: a bunch of people just agree that they should be, so they are. (And imperfectly, at that! We wouldn't have capital punishment or prisons if we actually believed in these rights.)

And if we recognized "physically being present before others" as a natural right, I imagine the Native Americans would have a much better situation than they do. Thinking that's a right for some but not for others is the height of hypocrisy, but that seems to be what a lot of incumbent property owners here seem to believe.
