There are some real world problems with that:
* Many networks limit access between wireless clients, preventing the connection between develop ER machines.
* Host based firewalls often prevent services from listening on client machines. Getting security exceptions for this can be difficult to impossible in some organizations.
* Discovery and initial remote config can be painful. While largely trivial from a technical perspective, this kind of thing can cause resistance from many end users.

I'm not arguing against your suggestion, but these are things that need to be solved if this workflow is ever going to see mainstream adoption. Network infrastructure and security has been geared towards centralization for a long time. That's going to need to change if we want to empower distributed applications of this nature (which I believe we do).

Hi Walter! Surprised to see you here!

As a former C dev (ran away to webdev years ago from embedded due to flaccid job market) I'm open to an idea of on-demand boundary checks.

To me it will just be a matter of having the compiler insert them for me or me writing them myself.

Look at the definition, there is no possible way you can equate heredity with heritability unless you can't math, sorry. There's no moral sentiment to appreciate in understanding this definition, just education.

Denialism of the variance it isn't either, the issue is it's fallacious reification. That would be a concern for explanatory power and drawing conclusions even if actual statistical research into these very poorly understood mechanisms weren't so spurious on mathematical level (which was my initial interest).
Do you think it should be enforced in this case? EU citizens can purchase services from companies that are present in EU if they want to be covered by EU laws.
everyone is complaining about the accounting here, but I just want to say that 100 FONT WEIGHT AT #666 ON WHITE IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE CONTRAST RATIO FOR BODY TEXT, especially if you do not provide your own font. even on a 1920x1080 IPS display with 1.1x scaling, using my preferred font, Noto Sans, font-weight 100 is extremely difficult to read for long stretches. DejaVu Sans's 100 is slightly thicker, but is still not acceptable for body text at that color.
You're correct of course, but same difference here. The extra energy will kickstart processes that nurture life.

I was actually pondering whether to expand on "energy", "water", "carbon" and "life" in the original post (none of them trivial concepts) but decided against it. It'd only muddy the waters, so to speak, missing the point:

You’re correct, and that’s the bigger point. The entire industry business model is tilted in that direction.
Never thought of that. Nice point!
I'm trying to see how the efficiency is gained and I just don't really see it. I guess you don't need to pump water for water cooling so you save the pumping energy, or maybe lower fan speeds or something, but it really seems like it would be a minimal amount. What it does seem like is a cheap way to build a water cooling system that doesn't really need to be maintained. It seems like switching to arm would be a much bigger efficiency gain, but nobody cares because energy is cheap.
I think replying to "it doesn't have a single source of truth" with "actually there are multiple single sources of truth" kind of makes the OP's case for them.
Sometimes things are lost over text -- my comment was meant to be more whimsical than it actually read. Just the old http://porkmail.org/era/unix/award.html joke.

My actual (light) advice is merely that we're all guilty of inappropriately using IO redirection facilities that punish the performance of our shells. `cat <filename> | grep <expression>` should be replaced by `grep <expression> <filename>`.

No doubt that pipelines are easier to read. The author has a whole section in README demonstrating blush's ability to read STDIN - nothing is lost by using best practices everywhere else. Documentation matters, and it should communicate best practices.

Its just the current mass education system is more of a giant filter test than learning. Actual learning process is deeply personal and transformative.
Instead this is a high-stress environment with little actual learning and more of performance show to force feed people with data in factory-like setting.

Those who learn for filter tests and those who learn out of interest for the subject are different people.
Turns out the system is geared for the first type of people and their educated knowledge doesn't hold when they lose interest in it, they have to take "refresher courses" and "recertifications" for everything they learn.
Hi, are you saying this with a some linguistic expertise ?

As a Greek without much background in linguistics etc I noticed a some pretty
strong mistakes (to my ear) and since the original is pretty understandable to me
I assume (potentially mistakenly) that the pronunciation can't have changed THAT much.

She pronounces ai as 'aee' but ai definitely an 'ɛ' sound (as in head: /hɛd/) in modern greek

She then pronounces 'meden' as mɛdɛn when it should be midɛn (η is an ee sound, at least in modern geek)

and she puts a strongish h in holos (ὅλως) which again seems like a person without any greek knowledge reading the latin alphabet version of the word and assuming how it's pronounced...

she says zɛn instead of zeen/zin

So again, as a modern greek with no particular knowledge of how ancient pronunciation worked,
this was pretty bad to my ears..

If you know more than me please correct me, it would be great to know

There was a link to a study here on HN some year(s) ago where they alternated the colour of each sentence in a text and found the reading speed to be increased. Probably similar effect as making text columns more narrow instead of using the full width of your screen, its easier to navigate and uts easier to read a whole chunk at once instead of word by word.
confirming that there's definitely a trend towards separate threads for audio, but the rest, especially networking, depends strongly on the engine

> well-worded issue

Your example is not well-worded; it's a demand. I'd expect a well-worded issue to share some story about how you were working to achieve some goal, so you tried setting up gitea to self-host the gitea repo, and were surprised that it didn't work (and share the errors etc. that you saw). Then the devss can prioritise your issue by understanding how blocked you are by the missing behaviour, and even propose a workaround or alternative way of achieving your goal.
Realistically, this is impractical for 98% of the population. I say this as somebody who has run his own mail server in the past, and got sick of the endless hassle of maintaining and securing it.
Yeah, it was known Ryzen cut AVX performance in order to lower power consumption. That's how we ended up with 65W 8-core at 14nm.
In my view, that’s more an unexpected feature. I can give people freedom to do what they need to do with the software I write, at the same time as I can, in effect, prevent Google from even reading it? Sign me up!

Top Super Foods That Improve Eyesight
Need to be lawyers? Vast numbers of politicians nowadays have done nothing but be a professional politician. Many were lobbyists, or in PR before politics. In the UK under 15% have done any law. Not sure about Australia.

The key point is really only "Sell themselves to a wide and fickle audience of strangers"

That's really the only skill our unicorn needs to stand for and win election.

The policy or manifesto is set in party HQ outside of scientific or any other expert advice or specialist knowledge. In the hope it'll win votes. Then a series of staged interviews, sound bites and dog whistles seek to move the Overton window to their policy and preferred direction of travel. Nothing to do with competence, truth, Civil Service advice or the presence or otherwise of a PhD in the Ministry. Politicians get promoted and senior roles because of ability to control a debate, and their media friendly features and abilities.

The better laws on the books often come from hard won experience, case law and Select Committee recommendations. Those tend not to be the laws of policy headlines, manifestos and high profile Ministry interviews.

Hence we get ridiculous policies and political grandstanding on a whole range of topics. Climate change and Brexit being just two examples where fact and consensus are irrelevant.

Ask HN: How exactly does Google serve traffic?
I have a fair understanding of Linux, sysctl parameters,kernel tuning, Load Balancers, application & data caching, horizontal scaling. But for all that I still fail to understand how does Google serve traffic.

Here's the flow:

* A user requests google.com

* DNS lookup happens

* Get redirected to some IP [172.217.23.164 in Google's case]

* That IP is allocated to a server and a "Connection" will be open from Client to the server.

My understanding is that a "connection" (from the client to Google's public IP) is open till the public facing IP forwards the request to Load balancer -> Load Balancer to APP Server and finally app server replies with the content. After the reply is sent, the connection is still open for a small amount of time (say 30 seconds) for subsequent requests. Can someone explain, how exactly is one server able to handle all this.. I fully expect it to be a separate hardware just for this but still it seems to be able to handle such a large number of requests on its own.

Learning and studying Linux, I see the max. connections one box (or an interface to be exact) can have is ~65k (65535 minus used ports). So I know Google wont be using out of the box linux, but how is Google able to handle ~10m + simultaneous connections (This is my guess) with only one IP.

Suppose I have a website and it has to have only one public facing server (which will be an HAProxy instance) it'll pass the traffic to backend load balancers [segregated by application server roles]. Works in theory but still unable to understand the public facing server's "Connection" issue. Suppose there are 1m users trying to hit the public site, the connection will be open from the time they connect till the time I send request back and connection wait is there. I tried reading for c10m and c10k but still need a more easy to grasp understanding.

Thanks for reading.

> but Marines, in particular, have a very tough time adapting to life and careers outside the military.

I'm curious why you have that impression. I spent 6 years in the Marine Corps Infantry and I've found it super helpful now 6 years into my career as a software developer. Specifically, because of the leadership style you learn.

The only thing I'd say it made it more difficult to adapt to was college where I had to interact with a bunch of kids with no life experience and lots of strong opinions about how the world does and should work.
THANK YOU!

I had the ideas used in this project in my head, but I've been putting off the work forever now.

I LOVE YOU FOREVER for using transactions as the central operation rather than double entry accounting, and I love you even more for adding the ability to tag transactions. I can not put off work for a web interface instead, which is a lot less work to put off :)

I haven't tried it yet, but it's now high on my list for when I get home from work.
One could argue that a social network must necessarily be a monopoly to be useful to users unless cross site communication between multiple social networks was mandated.

Just as 5 different companies each listing 20% of the residential phone numbers wouldn't make sense. The more completely a social network covers the population the more useful it becomes to users.

I’ll pay. So what are my options? What paid, ad-free social network is there that most of my contacts are on?

There isn’t one. LinkedIn is sort of an exception but it’s not for general use. The market isn’t providing s supply of these products so I don’t see how you can say there’s no demand. New social networks have such high barriers to entry that you can’t just point at some random failed paid one as an example. Loads of free ones fail too.

What would be interesting is if Facebook offered a paid, no data-mining option. But they do t seem interested in innovating.

For git; I think that "alpha quality" warning is due to the git support being added by a contributor and the author not actually using git themselves.
This is mostly requests to Apple as a service provider. "What IP registered, and logged into suspect@icloud.com on 1/1/2018? And what are the registered users details?"

You’re not paranoid, and it does matter. Distributed systems definitely struggle to stay distributed. Git is a great example, as are most cryptocurrencies, which despite being distributed by design, generally come to rely on centralised wallets and trading platforms.

The web itself seems to be be becoming more centralised- more people spend more time on fewer websites. Websites are increasingly being hosted on a tiny number of mega cloud services, rather than millions of independent server rooms.

Centralisation is a real concern.
The phrase between parentheses was meant as an example of the succinct title of such an issue, not the hopefully polite and well-worded body explaining why.
I'm not sure what toxicity you're referring to, as I didn't read all HN comments. If you think my comment is also toxic, then I think you may have a bit odd expectations. Just because feedback isn't all happy-buffed doesn't make the feedback toxic. I assume you agree that if I show you something and you don't like it and tell me why, that your act isn't toxic, right?

Plus it's a "Show HN" thread which the whole idea is, that people give feedback.

Posts like "I had this problem and solved it this way" are generally well regarded, the issue with the post here is, that the author didn't just explain what his problem is, but implied that most GUI apps are bad and that his accounting method is way more superior to what everyone else uses.

If you have this high confidence in yourself and your creations, then you should also be able to take some negative feedback on it.
