I run openSUSE for my mail server, but that's in the process of being migrated to OpenBSD.

When I worked at the University of Cincinnati in 2012, we had a lot of stuff running on SLES, mostly because we were running Novel's Identity Management system.

That was a while back though and I'm not sure if they're still down that route since Novell turned into Micro Focus and, I guess now, EQT.
> Do the volunteers get any share of the pie?

No. Why would they?

You're providing a stub for interesting debate here but you did it without any expectation that YC would pay you for it. You did it for the betterment of the internet, or the karma, or something in the middle, but either way, YC owes you nothing for it and you [happily] entered into that arrangement without thinking about it.

The people contributing to SUSE —through bug reports, bug fixes, maintaining the community, the tens of thousands of upstream projects that it uses via open licenses, etc, etc, etc— aren't doing so with an expectation that somebody will pay them down the line.

But indirectly, SUSE users (some of whom will contribute) and customers get a distribution with a new lease of life. They get continued use of its infrastructure and packagers and developers.
Interesting! I'm a KiCAD user but have never heard of this. Why doesn't Urban just contribute to KiCAD instead of maintaining a separate open source project?

Apologies if he mentions it in the video -- I'm at work.

A lot of our performance benefit comes from lighter-weight sandboxing using V8 instead of containers, which makes it feasible for us to run Workers across more machines and more locations. It wouldn't surprise me too much if a Worker written in JS can out-perform a Lambda written in Go, as long as the logic is fairly simple. But I agree we should actually run some tests and put up numbers... :)

On another note, currently we only support JavaScript, but we're putting the finishing touches on WebAssembly support, which would let you run Go on Workers... stay tuned.
For some reason, I thought this was relating a lack of long-term vision rather than actual vision. I wonder if there's a study for that too--either narrowing or foreshortening scope of thought.
In some working environments issuing a warning is enough to get you off the hook for something going wrong, so it might be that nearly every flight had a warning so the engineers were never responsible...
Not only that, but their home "meals" are a little bit ridiculous. Evidently "less than 250 calories [1] of straight pork with no veggies, carbs, or drink" is what they consider a meal.

But I would say that I hate that iOS apps can't access my SMS messages. I've typed thousands of "pin codes" from SMS and I can't have auto-transactions in my budget app from bank SMS notifications. While I don't like an idea about allowing every app to access SMS messages, I'm fine to allow some apps to access all SMS messages and temporary allow app to access all new SMS messages.

So you're familiar with "custody" as a term of art, yet not "custodian", very interesting, not saying you're lying, just interesting.
A refreshing and sane way to think about performance, in a culture of "performance and optimisation are evil and useless; now let us ship our 12MB webpage please".
I requested the source code on that refrigerator just to see how terrible it was. It's garbage clearly but I was pleasantly surprised they didn't hard code any passwords like Cisco's standard operating procedure. I still would never put it on wifi though.
Didn't the O-ring fail because it was used outside its specifications? My recollection is a bit hazy but it seems that it was more of a political problem than an engineering problem.
RIBS2 (Robust Infrastructure for Backend Systems, ver. 2)
https://github.com/Adaptv/ribs2

Great framework to build highly scalable, low latency service (developer friendly). It would be great some detailed tutorials and documentation about its internals.
What Infrastructure as Code (IaC) options exist for Cloudflare Workers? AFAICT neither Serverless nor Terraform support it. IaC is table stakes for any new part of my tech stack, and I would prefer not to code it from scratch - unless deployment/configuration is extremely easy to automate via CLI or something...
the article had interesting points but i decided to stop reading because the yellow wall of text with black background was not super readable.
No, it is literally operations people who are around to prevent that from happening. (facetious:) C-levels are around to look pretty and offer pleasant platitudes during board meetings.
It certainly can be, but doesn't have to be. If you figure out the right time, place, and lure, it can be pretty engaging.

If you're getting bored, might try a moving to a new spot or
switching lures. Sometimes it takes some experimentation and luck to figure out the magic. There's one place I like to go that is super slow and boring, unless there's a thunderstorm moving in. Things pick up quickly then.
Only if you can turn it into real dollars, and don't end up losing it afterwards as gains from a ponzi scheme.
The author of NewOS is also the key developer behind Google's Fuschia (with Brian Swetland, both ex BeOS engineers).
I think that a lot of small customers moved from commercial CAs to letsencrypt. I don't even know a single reason not to use letsencrypt now. Sure, there will be new customers, but I'm not sure about old customers and it'll be worse as existing customers slowly would learn about free letsencrypt and migrate to it.
I'm more surprised that such a "promise" is given any credibility in court to begin with. I'm not familiar with the law, but from my naive understanding a company can basically decide to change their pricing however/whenever they want. So how does stating to a judge that they might have an opportunity to lower prices at some point in the unknown future translate into any kind of legal obligation to do so? To me it just sounds like an empty promise that got them through the court proceedings, and in no way affected their behavior afterwards because why would it?
Another one of the only ones here.

> Can you explain to me why an index fund would pay less but a hedge fund would pay more? They are all buyers in the market, and index funds are more predictable

And that's the reason. Market makers (and especially HFTs) profit from razor thin spreads on predictable orders, but they can lose money when they get hit by a big unpredictable order, so they avoid them and/or charge them more. A hedge fund's order is inherently dangerous to a market maker, because they have no idea before the fact if the hedge fund is just offloading 1k shares to rebalance their risk profile, or if they're liquidating their entire position, or taking a big short position. Hedge funds can change the entire market. Some guy calling up his broker and asking to sell his Apple shares won't.

So retail orders and index funds are safe, so they can be charged lower spreads. And because they're profitable, market makers compete for the volume, driving down prices. And the data supports this - prices paid by retail investors has crashed, and complaints from hedge funds and big active investors has spiked. :)
People believe all sorts of weird things, but the actual offense of front-running involves an agency relation: it occurs when you work with a broker/dealer to order your securities, and upon receiving your order, they trade for their own account ahead of yours.

Market makers aren't agents of traders.

> "...the breakthrough came when we realized that we should not assume water is incompressible..."

The shop staff was right, water is not incompressible (under important conditions that don't apply to their scenario!).
Our needs have changed. Hardware isn't the bottleneck anymore and copying a few dozen megabytes a few thousand times each is trivial. We are now trying to get the most out of humans. Traditionally we've done this by adding layers of abstraction, but this hides complexity and introduces surface area, bringing security and compatibility risks with it. Nowadays there are very few humans who intimately understand more than a fraction of the layers of a modern (read: trendy) tech stack.

Unikernels let you combine the top 3 layers of the (Hardware -> Hypervisor -> Kernel -> Userspace -> Application) stack into one. That's a big win for reducing complexity. And if unikernels take off, I expect better tools for managing them to be built right in to hypervisors to help restore whatever functionality gets lost in the squish.

Funny thing is, if you squint a little, the resulting (Hardware -> Hypervisor -> Unikernel) stack looks a lot like (Hardware -> Operating System -> Application), which we all know and love from traditional pre-virtualization environments. In a sense, we're not so much rejecting the multi-user model as we are reinventing it for a cloud-based age.

Maybe this is indeed a big waste of time, but I don't think so. When it comes to multi-tenant computing, we operate under radically different assumptions than we did 30 years ago.
Nice article, but my eyes hurt from the colors :) Switching to reader mode in Firefox helps a lot.
Yeah, this is more like "when nobody's super, everyone is."
You can prob address all those points with something similar to org-mode, or even just plain org-mode.
Streisand Effect

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect
The Soviet Union brought back about 300 grams of lunar material in the ‘70s (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_rock#Unmanned_sample_retu...)

Still not much, but quite a bit more than a few grams.
I'm no rocket scientist either, but happened to be reading in depth about SRBs in general and Challenger in particular, and my understanding is: the joint in question was a field joint, to be assembled in the field, as opposed to factory joints which were assembled in the factory. The construction of these joints were different (asbestos insulation vs O-rings). The differing design is due to transportation and logistics.
Is there a keyboard which has solved the issue of the noise?Also, do you know any keyboard with a higher typing surface to allow less precise positioning of the fingers?

Today, my prefered keyboard (for coding) is the one on my Lenovo X1 carbon. Silent, precise but "fault tolerant". Very impressive. Only issue is the layout a full keyboard would be way better.
Ask HN: Who is hiring? (Australia)
I'm sure there's a big part of the HN community based in Australia.

Are there any companies hiring?
I'm not a hiring manager but id pick A RPI student for engineering work.
Well, if you're going to add qualifications after the fact, let's just skip to the end: "When it comes to train displays, split-flap are the best, because they make noises, and I have ADHD. Also I ascribe souls to mechanical devices."
Two to three blocks is much less than the amount of walking I would have to do as part of a typical within-3-mile local trip using either local bike-sharing bikes or public transportation. That would be 6-10+ blocks of walking, and a transfer or two (in the case of bus or rail). So I'll drive or lyft, because that's a pretty big convenience/flexibility advantage, especially if I'm making multiple stops.

But Birds are increasingly tempting because I usually see one within one to two blocks of my apartment.
Yes, this is what I am saying. This is minor news. This is old news. It was known that this was coming since at least November:

Would not be practical for a Vandenberg launch (which was a shuttle requirement that was never taken advantage of)
Well yes, but:

1. You might want to see prepping, cooking and cleanup as relaxing activity that let your brain work in the background. The very same way taking a break and going out for a walk or taking a shower help you come out of a dead end.

2 - phase can be optimised or skipped altogether. Everyone comes up with their own way. For me this means taking as much advantage of my microwave oven as I can (a microwave pressure cooker really is one of the best deals I got recently).

Image Intelligence was founded in 2016 with the mission of analysing the world's security footage to produce actionable insights in real-time. Hours of security camera footage is produced each second, but this footage is usually only reviewed hours after an incident has already occurred. By this time, it is often too late where preventable circumstances have resulted in irrecoverable loss.

We believe that by using a combination of AI and human interactions, we can produce timely and actionable insights that make the world safer, smarter and more efficient.

We're expanding our teams and looking to hire full stack, backend, and machine learning engineers. Apply https://imageintelligence.workable.com/jobs/756478 or email me david@imageintelligence.com for more information.

Well it tells you how well they did to the rest of the cohort grade inflation means you cant easily compare candidates across time.
The bikes are super heavy; they require docking, which somewhat removes the purposes of using them to get from point to point in the first place. I don't know many people who aren't already cyclists who use it.

Off hand I'd say scooters are much more filling a vacant market, whereas the bike sharing competes more with uber or lyft in the first place.

I got hooked a few years ago and started recording information here: https://fishing.github.io

Too bad the bay area doesn't have great fishing. You gotta go up to the delta / clear lake. Palo Alto even has a "Palo Alto resident only" lake.

Deep-sea/surf/pier/lake/pond/river/stream fishing each have their unique challenges. Also contrary to popular belief some styles / quarry don't require extreme patience.

Why Are We Still Personalizing Learning If It’s Not Personal?
I honestly waste a lot more food when I ordered take out or eat at a restaurant.

While I once used to eat everything that's on my plate because it's a pity to waste food, I've then learnt to just stop eating when I'm full.

On one hand this alone made me lose some weight, on the other hand I can't always save excess food for the next meal (example: restaurant or delivered things like french fries and things like that).
