Yes! This is the right way. Unfortunately it's also looks like it's going to be really, really hard, because the platform did not evolve with this foresight.
right. it looks a bit ugly at first if you're not into it, but living there after a while it all really makes sense. great people too generally - friendly and welcoming like in a big village, yet leaving you alone when you need it like in a big city. perfect for my tastes.
Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but "We've received word that all workspaces are having troubles connecting to Slack." makes it sound like their internal monitoring didn't catch whatever is causing this.

And perhaps the most important difference from the American economy:

Housing is viewed as a disposable commodity, with an approximately 30 year shelf-life and depreciating value. Land in Japan does hold its value, but (at least post-bubble) at nowhere near the level of insane, speculative fluctuations driven by US-style “financialization.” Land values mostly track with inflation, like they did in the US before housing became an investment vehicle for Global Capital.
That case references reproductions of thumbnail images for search engines and lays out the criteria under which a fair use is judged, and people who are casually reading your comment shouldn't take it as a definitive judgement about legality.

I started learning about IPv6 in 1994! I mean, it was the fast-coming new thing back then. I was encouraged by one professor to deep dive into it since my career would definitely require knowledge of this new protocol. It's been 24 years now, maybe after 25 years it will take off for real.

Looking out over Tokyo from one of the city centres (Tokyo is really a prefecture, and a collection of smaller cities), you can see that the other cities look quite built up, and the areas between are the smaller buildings the author is talking about.

> GCP will transparently migrate the VM while it is running for you. You never see it, you customers don't either.

This is just hot-migration between hosts. It "stuns" a VM for a fraction of a second - very high performance databases and videogame servers will sometimes notice, while everything else just sees a spot of lag and keeps going.

AWS are an odd cloud vendor who don't support many common cloud features:

- No hot migrate between hosts.

- No hot-add RAM or CPU.

- No memory-state snapshot, only disk snapshot.

- No arbitrary CPU or RAM quantities, only "t-shirt" sizes - can't build servers in "nonsensical" configurations like 12 CPUs and 1GB RAM, or 1 CPU and 128 GB RAM.

This is on top of having arbitrary separators in their data centers, so they send you strange messages about having to delete and rebuild your servers in the same data center. AWS may think it's cute to sell different "areas" in their data center, but the way to have redundancy for servers in AWS us-east-1 is to have servers Azure US West 2 or GCP us-central-1.

Like early iOS in the smartphone space, AWS are dominant in the VM space through marketing, not features.

Well, it seems to me, that Psychoinformatics is surely going to be established.
In practice, facebook, google, etc. are working on it allready since years and with great ressources. It just has not been called that, as far as I know.

But what they describe, collecting data 24/7 and analyzing it with psychological methods - is allready beeing done. It is just not done out of medical or scientific reasons ... and thats the problem with me.

So it was actually a scary read to me. I mean, there is no doubt about, that you get much better results, if you have more and better data.

And under certain condition I might be willing to share all my data for a science project or my psychotherapeut. (if I would counsel one)

And the research will surely benefit the latter as well - but I believe, most of the use cases will be for - advertisement on the one hand and population surveilance/control on the other hand.

Too little, too late. Zowie copied the classic Intellimouse shapes, but offer them in a range of sizes with a class-leading optical sensor.

Native emoji support, pretty front-ends, and clear product direction are possibilities on-top of IRC (or XMPP) since their absence isn't a core part of IRC (or XMPP) -- it's just not a good way to make a profit it if you don't lock down the network and act as the gatekeeper of the interface. Slack's API is fairly open though and it's not a huge hurdle to interact with it. I built an IRC<->Slack gateway that bridges the differences fairly well ( https://slack.tcl-lang.org/ , you know, if Slack were working).

Infrastructure is generally built to last for a very long time. The average US bridge is 42 years old with many over 100 years old. Further, the tendency is to not move when the ocean rises just look at Venice. People are going to move as otherwise useful infrastructure is destroyed at vast expense.
My experience hasn’t been so black and white. There is still a trade-off on giving up flexibility, which is one reason to move to the cloud. When I modeled it out (3 years ago for AWS, more recently for Microsoft) the one year commit struck the best balance between cost and flexibility.

There is one truism: cloud costs always seem to grow faster than revenue. :-)
I say this as someone who almost always prefers the dark theme wherever it is available: I wonder how much this desire for dark interfaces comes from almost every app interface having bright colors on white.

Hi HN,

The creator of the project here.

This is a major update to a project I submitted a year ago. At the time I could not develop nor set up a website and let Weebly do the heavy lifting. This caused a ton of technical issues and held up the project but since then I have learned the basics of front-end development.

Finally, I recently was able to integrate the Algolia API to add a working search feature to the project.

Now that I have (somewhat) the skill and some free time I plan to make rapid progress throughout the summer!
That's why I don't own a smartphone. I'm behind a screen 8 hours a day. I don't want to keep watching one when I'm off work.
You're speaking my language now. That's the dream right there. However Canada's tech market has me planted in Toronto for now.

There are some increasingly northerly-creeping companies, though. While it may not be the preferred field or quite far enough north, the work of Hinterland Games has struck me as well polished and carries a distinctly Canadian flavour:

No, the API can tell your software to send some private LAN files, e.g. some IP-filtered secret NFS store, to an URL of it's choosing (so to itself, or your competitor).
This is bad, as long as you don't heavily jail and firewall the software to prevent it from ever accessing anything it shouldn't (need to).
Emoji seem to work just fine on IRC nowadays, what do you mean by "native" support? The shortcodes? The fact that there's official clients you can entirely rely on supporting it?
- APNIC ran out in 2011, but has a new-LIR pool remaining

- RIPE ran out in 2012, but has a new-LIR pool remaining (part of which is that /8 you mentioned)

- LACNIC ran out in 2014, but has a new-LIR pool remaining

- ARIN ran out in 2015, and does not have a new-LIR pool

- AFRINIC is the only RIR with a general-use pool available

As akvadrako says, there's a secondary market, except the current pricing is around 16+USD/IP, with the semi-obvious minimum of a /24 (so, 4000+USD). Given that (in ARIN region) that /24 would have cost you 250USD up-front, it's a marked increase.

> that GDPR wouldn't result in instant fines

Well, it has something to do with acting in good faith too. Not respecting GDPR because of an oversight or even laziness is likely to be met with warnings.

But blatantly violating it on purpose (this is no question: these companies have specifically claimed they implemented these obviously non-compliant processes because of GDPR) should not warrant any goodwill on the part of authorities.

It’s pitch is a little different, it gives you ‘Workspaces’ which are somewhat connected, and tools to manage big deployments.

IBM, Oracle and many large companies use it because 100,000+ participants in one workspace is quite unmanageable.

Think channel namespacing whilst unifying user provisioning and enabling DM and MPDM across the entire company. Users can have access to one or many namespaces, they sign in once and it populates all enabled workspaces into that users client.

You can share channels between workspace within Enterprise Grid fairly trivially (although this now works between Slack tenancies owned by different companies too!)

Still runs on the same infrastructure in AWS as other Slack customers though.

From a policy perspective you can push down settings to all Workspaces in your SEG, and define whether you “centrally control” or “delegate to Workspace owners” on a setting by setting basis.

I've seen my fair share of MongoDB dumpster fire codebases as well and one thing that makes it so much worse is it's almost always MongoDB + noob developers who picked MongoDB because a blog post told them it's all cool and it's a part of a "hip stack".

If it was MongoDB + experienced developers who picked it out of careful consideration things would be different. But you never see that because experienced developers are smart enough to pick Postgres instead.
