What about this is agile?

>We can set up the assumption that today, each new application supporting API should be a cloud-ready application. By cloud-ready, we expect that it should have the following properties: The ability to adapt dynamically to the load, A flexible and centralized configuration
A dependency discovery mechanism, A native load-balancing mechanism for communicating, Strong resiliency, monitoring, and observability, Automatic log and distributed traces collection

This sounds like over-engineering (the exact behaviour that agile is designed to counter). There is too much focus on tools and processes rather than the working software.

A more agile way would to create a working API with basic tools but in a way that allows adding the extra features (logging and load balancing) at a later date.

I have a complete opposite feeling about 80s shows on (french) TV. I was very fond of The Mysterious Cities of Gold, Once Upon a Time... Life, Ulysses 31, the (old school) SpiderMan cartoons, Tom Sawyer, Barbapapa.

And (for something completely different) The Twilight Zone.

35 years later, I rewatch them with my kids, and the magic is definitely still present.
Not happy for the merger, but kind of happy with Legere. I am a t-mobile customer and I noticed a definite shift in the quality of customer service from the late 00's to the mid 10's too, it's interesting you're basically giving me independent verification of that fact. I still am not happy with consolidation of the telecom industry as much as Legere is a good fellow.
There’s probably too much room for political gamesmanship in a complex tax base for that to get traction, sadly.
He-man interestingly featured generally realistic women (Teela and The Sorceress) and men with wildly unrealistic steroid-fuelled physiques. Same with Thundercats. That definitely doesn’t fit modern narratives.

I grew up on shows like Blake’s 7 and Sapphire & Steel...
I can see how you feel in your specific position, but the better solution would be for AT&T and Verizon to lose their unbalanced share in the market, not for further consolidation of the smaller providers.
The point is why people have to remember them ?

Why not look them up when necessary ?

Framesets totally break the accessibility of a website. The main website is in one frame, and its navigation in another one. Both frames have different contexts and different URLs.
Good to them finally giving UX a serious thought, as well as using multicore and adding flatpak installation method. At least opensource affocinados stand some semblance of chance in PS/LR holywar.
I'm wondering if anything legally prevents Verisign or a registrar from saying "screw it, we're selling every domain name under our control and then shutting down our business." The total assets of Verisign and all of the .com registrars are surely far less than the value of all of the .com domains. Heck, the value of the FANG domains alone is probably worth more than all registrars combined. If Verisign transferred technical control of all .com domains to another party, I guess that would effectively result in a fork of the entire DNS system, assuming the rest of the root name server operators didn't go along with it. But could Verisign legally get away with it?

In the france.com case, presumably the owner of the domain was paying Web.com for the domain, and they allegedly received no compensation from Web.com when it was transferred. Seems like a pretty blatant breach of contract to me. Why isn't Web.com being sued? Suing them indirectly via Verisign doesn't make sense.
This is a great marketing idea! Congrats. I haven’t heard of Sanctus before

The following is from Tom's obituary in WAPO [1]

Tom Magliozzi (cartalk [2]) once held up the Chevrolet minivan for ridicule, questioning why it needed 13 cup-holders.

“That’s one area where General Motors has excelled,” he said. “When people talk about the Japanese being ahead of us, they don’t hold a patch to us in cup holders.”

triggering event: disappearance from YouTube--due to new automated curation retroactively applied--of Syrian Civil War footage.

"In the summer of 2017, observers of the Syrian civil war realized that YouTube was removing dozens of channels and tens of thousands of videos documenting the conflict. The deletions occurred after YouTube announced that it had deployed “cutting-edge machine learning technology...to identify and remove violent extremism and terrorism-related content.” But the machines went too far."

I am quite certain this article is not correct. The TLD's all have a set price that is paid to the top level registrar regardless of what a domain reseller offers to you. They make up the difference by up-selling other services to their customer base. They try to attract more customers by offering lower prices on domains, thus offsetting the hit they take.
The biggest equalizer was world war 2. The new deal created a few social programs but didn't drastically change wealth distribution.

> Core eventually miniaturised

Well, sorta. The physics behind the device is the same, but the manufacturing is distinct. Core was produced by threading tiny ferroelectric donuts cut from an extruded tube onto copper wires. There's no "miniturization" continuum between that and FRAM, which is produced with planar lithography.
It is weird, kind of reflects SF city vibes at times.

If I were you I'd look around at different gyms or physical activities until you find something you enjoy. There are tons of different options (to name a few: yoga, climbing, mountain biking, swimming, power lifting, running, that thing I sometimes see on TV where you competitively try to chop wood faster than other people, etc...). Try a bunch of stuff out and I bet you'll find something you enjoy going to more than the type of gym you described. Many also have mental aspects, while not a replacement for keeping yourself more generally cognitively engaged probably help with that to some degree as well
Let's fix that title, please :)
You said "you won't get rich unless you sell something" upthread?
I agree that your suggestion of some sort of official, permanent point of contact would be better. However, even with the proviso that you have to keep paying for a service to retain it, it seems to me that some sort of regulation giving the current user of a particular ID first refusal over renewing it and a clear warning before they lose access to it would be beneficial. Possibly some restriction on reusing the same ID for anyone else within a reasonable period, say a few years, would also be a good idea. The fact is that these IDs are being used for sensitive, important, often government-sanctioned purposes already, and protecting them as such is surely an improvement on the status quo.
Well 120k for doing nothing is a pretty rent I would say... unless you have a nasty disease and no health insurance. (Unlikely)
Kids ride buses; I'm pretty sure they don't understand the marvels of engineering they're benefiting from.

My point is: it should be possible to use something without fully understanding the minutiae of how it works. We call this “user interface design”.

You should be allowed to live in a house without a full understanding of the architectural details that prevent it from falling down.
A daemon / demon was a procedure which runs when a slot is accessed / added / deleted / .... My bet is that this name was used in frame languages in the end 70s where there were if-needed, if-added, ... demons for a frame slot. Flavors probably got it from there - though I'm not sure.

But the concept/term of a demon goes back to the end 60s to Hewitt's planner language and probably even earlier.

Later with generic functions in CLOS, I'd guess the term wasn't used, since something like an :after method is no longer conceptually a specific demon procedure attached to a slot via a facet, but a method in a method combination.
> If you want ease of implementation then I'd reckon you don't need Rust. Rust is for correctness and speed. This is why the comparison was made in the first place.

I'd take the view that "a little script to read an XML file, get a path from it, read a file at that location, do some regexes on it, and then update the XML and write it back to disk" doesn't need any more speed than Python, but can benefit from more correctness. I'm willing to spend a bit more implementation time than Python to get more safety than Python, but I'm not willing to spend extra time just to make it faster (and frankly I'd question the priorities of someone who would). If implementing in Rust is slower than a more error-prone language, that's not necessarily a mark against it - but if I can implement faster than Rust in a language that would also have similar safety properties then I'd rather do that, even if it meant somewhat slower runtime performance.
Ask HN: Creating a web UI/UX with React.js
A few days ago I started rebuilding my side project's web UI in React.js, mostly because I want to learn one of the new front-end libraries/frameworks, and because it will be good to remove the server side rendering and communicate between the frontend and backend using only an API.

Building components in React, using JSX is pretty straightforward. I can see a lot of potential value in separating my UI into many small components which I then compose.

What I'm lost at is three things.

1) How should I handle what I know as nested templates, or nested layouts? In case that isn't super clear I mean the homepage styling and header/footer, the user page styling and menu bar, and other concerns like that.

2) I've been using seed data to create my components so far, is using them with my API as simple as getting and posting what I need and passing it to the components?\

3) Navigation - I'm used to making a request to the server and having it return the correct view with all of the templates composed together in all their glory (boring I know :D). With react is there an official way of doing navigation? I've found some react-router libraries but none of them are officially from Facebook or the React.js team so I'm not sure if they are good, or if I am missing an official one.

Any advice or answers for these questions is appreciated!
Wouldn't it be more accurate to say an IP addresses is like a phone number?

The DNS phonebook analogy would mean France.com is the name and the IP is the phone number.

What was done would be equivalent to taking a man's name from him leaving him with only his phone number.
Hah, what a coincidence. That's the same picture I took of my remote office!
Wisdom of the crowds works well for counting jelly beans in a jar, not so much for finding answers to much more complicated questions.
If your counterargument needs you to bring up drug cartels (and even there, for better or worse, they have physical products that actually do something for the end user) maybe your argument is not airtight.

> It's a nice sentiment about an idealistic world but ultimately meaningless beyond producing feelings of guilt for the target.

Maybe the target should feel guilty for participating and spreading this scam?

Like, if the Bitcoin fans came out and said "Look, okay, we're basically just riding this super volatile security to take advantage of normies and rubes", that'd be fine. America has a long and storied tradition of honoring conmen.

The smug bullshit though? The idea that because they got lucky with some crackpot stupid 'net token scheme (of which there have been dozens over the years) and thus are clearly so superior to the plebes actually building things and powering the economy they take for granted?

It's a racket. It's always been a racket. Don't try to act like it isn't.
Maybe stating the obvious, but you are watching a commercial :)
Here's a program for the back cover:

Most commonly, it's $120K/yr in income based on a lifetime of two earners carefully saving (deferring current consumption-this is the "doing") and investing for their self-managed retirement.

Couple A with $3MM in liquid assets and self-funding their retirement is not particularly better off than couple B[0] who has zero liquid assets and $120K/yr in state-funded pensions, yet couple A is the target of multi-millionaire scorn and couple B is just "well, that's why we have unions and pensions..."

[0] Couple B is probably far better off as most state pensions include healthcare coverage.

There are some socialization reasons, but for the art it would be a good example... if such a thing existed. Screens and headsets aren't there yet.

So people trying to get the best visual experience isn't yet proof of the value of the other aspects.
I use the Face app to enhance my face/dating profile pics especially the goatee which changes your skin tone and adds a furrier goatee. It’s not a huge tweak to how I look so those who I go on dates or hook up with haven’t said anything and our subsequent dates or hook ups continued.

Overall the Internet is and slowly becoming less of a trustworthy source for much of anything. Thus dating apps that force u to take a pic of yourself thru the app no outside pics is probably going to become a thing.

The component itself doesn’t have to distinguish anything. Imagine if the component just covertly transmitted the water flow. Most would be useless, but the one installed in the CEO’s toilet could give you some useful info.
PDFs are hell to process, pretty much like all formats developed by Adobe that evolved through multiple versions...

Edit: I wrote parsers for PDF and PSD in CL years ago and still cringe when remembering that ordeal.
Yep, I much prefer the conceptual simplicity of a single deploy-able, and in my experience it can handle performance sufficiently if you actually try.

OTOH, my team owns ~10 micro-services, and some of their build times, due to integration-tests, are already painfully slow. I'd hate to have to run all of them every time we build.
No, they don’t. That’s like saying PNG files can contain postscript code because tools exist that convert postscript to .png.

The basic drawing operations in postscript and PDF are the same, but that’s about it.

An important difference between PDF and Postscript is that PDF isn’t Turing complete (1). Benefits of that are that, for example, you can determine how many pages are in a .pdf without rendering it in full.

Disadvantage for drawing fractals is that PDF doesn’t have a notion of looping or recursion. That postscript program to draw a fractal can, at render time, check the resolution of the output device and then decide how deep to recurse. A PDF file has to decide at file creation time, and has to contain every single drawing command, so it will be larger (I don’t remember PDF internals well enough to be sure about the latter. It may be possible to avoid the latter a bit by redrawing scaled parts of a drawing)

(1) possibly ignoring various extensions such as its embedded JavaScript interpreter (http://www.planetpdf.com/developer/article.asp?ContentID=662...). I would think/hope those can’t generate PDF content, but haven’t checked.
Dumb printer drivers don't print hundreds of pages of source when you send a PDF to print. If you went to college in the 1990s you might remember begging for printer fee refunds.
Younger than that, even. I'm 28 and a lot of people 25-30 (including me!) really love doing 90s music at karaoke and things like that.
Is it just me that doesn't have any of the images loading up?
I care very little about things like this, but if it were really $1 per month, it’d be very tempting to get this just for fun.

I think a real version would have to cost a lot more than that. But the service price can be reduced as it scales to more users.
But it does make difference in rural areas. I have a family member that does social work in south ga. When I go down there, I don't get a signal outside of the city center with T-mobile. She travels a lot and she needs a good signal. Verizon has a good signal everywhere. T-mobile signal is also infamously bad within buildings. When I'm at work it's not a big deal - I just use WiFi calling but if I were frequently visiting clients' sites it would be a big deal.

People are willing to pay Verizon prices for that guaranteed coverage. There are also places in north ga with bad coverage by T-mobile. They just happen to go out of their way to have coverage in college towns, but once you veer to far away - nothing.

The trade off is worth it for me, but not to other people.
The middle class was not created via redistribution of wealth. It came about through wealth creation. It existed long before the New Deal and WWII.

Consider being careful with this. Too much of anything can cause damage, regardless of being fat or water soluble. Certainly avoid any advice any study that did not include at least a few million people from every nation in a controlled scientific method.
The EU did a lot of analysis about this between member states.

It concluded that markets with 4 or more providers were far better served (price, quality, coverage, etc) than those with 3 (which effectively is what the US will have now).

The UK blocked the merger of 3 and O2 on these grounds, as it would leave only 3 providers.
Nice ideology. Reality is quite different. Companies in large mergers or with consolidated industries often have to make concessions to regulators to proceed with the merger.
Im a huge SpaceX fan, but Blueorigin's New Shepard does seem more robust. Maybe just because its a smaller and more thick rocket, but somehow by not being as spectacular it makes space travel more "normal" as we all hope it someday will become.
I recently attended a talk by Dr. Nina Kraus of Northwestern University [1], her main thesis was exactly that, based on evidence from many studies: playing music (even badly) has an incredible effect on cognition. In particular on speech comprehension, which of course has a strong relationship with rhythm [2].

Hmm,

Buying photos probably isn't a sustainable way to maintain a profile. On the other hand, the transformation of ordinary photos into "perfect instagram photos" seems plausibly doable by some form of generative neural nets (akin to the style transfer and fake celebrity apps). Obviously, such photos would need to be also human vetted but this could open up a lot of possibilities.

And sure, this site is fake but I don't think instagram insanity is going away just with site pointing to mental health considerations. You'd need to change society, how people relate to fame and so-forth.

Letting literally everyone fake perfection actually seems more plausible as a way to escape the insanity of everyone wanting to be celebrity compared to links to psychologists talking about problems. It would be great "raising awareness" could help problems but I think history shows awareness raising does nearly nothing especially compared to giving someone a tool operate differently. For example, there's at least claims that most plastic surgery patients really do feel happier long term - at least for simple changes.
germany.com isn't in the same class as the other examples; France's claim on france.com is arguably more similar to Germany's hypothetical claim on deutschland.com . Why assume that what governments really care about is the English name for their country?

When reading APL for the first time, how does one determine what the characters mean? E.g, the first example is
(+⌿÷≢) x

I can look up the '+' '⌿' '÷' characters at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APL_syntax_and_symbols but I can't find the "≢)" characters which appear to be the '≢ ' and ')' characters when I copy and paste. However, I see it as '≡' '/)' when rendered. Is that broken Unicode rendering of the slash? I'm guessing this function means something like (divide (reduce sum array) (count array)) but I can't search for that triple equal sign on the Wikipedia page.
