I try not to rant on this site but I can't help myself here so I'm sorry:

The whole point of the sign is you can see it from far away. If you look at it from the street in downtown Hollywood or whatever, you are experiencing the sign as it was meant to be experienced.

For people who... for some reason... want to go RIGHT UP to the sign... or behind it... sigh — This is an interesting compulsion which I normally would not judge. But we're now talking one hundred million dollars and untold materials and effort... to help visit... a SIGN. Literally just a sign that says, "Hollywood." Up in some otherwise beautiful nature.

To enable this dysfunctional behavior with this kind of money and technology is nuts. Go to the beach. Go for a hike. Come up with some other utterly unimaginative scheme to visit an object you saw on a screen.

Sometimes it is better NOT to apply technology to a problem. Let's NOT make this easier to accomplish. It's pointless, thoughtless behavior with no worthwhile reward.

To quote an actor named Will Ferrel dressed up as an imaginary fashion star named Mugatu, "Doesn't anyone else notice this? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!"

RTA. They are spending their own money and there are two visitor centers: one at the start and a sign-specific visitor center already planned for the area near the sign.
Sophistry? Are you looking to name a personal hobby?

It's really sad that you and several others here are only interested in yelling "Koch".

These proposed changes to patent law have some good and what I consider some bad aspects, all worthy of actual argumentation. Engaging in ad hominems is ridiculous; doing it deliberately is at best puerile; the only achievement is to prevent purposeful debate (and paint yourselves as unworthy of reasonable conversation).

Think! The EFF does not get results by engaging in ad hominems.

The tactics specifically attempt to get a person to begin payments on a debt, rather than the executor, so that the new third party person assumes the debt. In an estate payments for certain categories of debt may be lower priority in settlement. It's done in a very unethical way with specific verbiage and social engineering tactics.

This is also done in cases where the collection agency may be aware that there is a "no getting blood from a stone" scenario of an estate that will have zero value when it is wrapped up, so guilt trip techniques are employed against any reachable family members to attempt to get them to assume payments.
Hey, author here (one of 2).

Whoa, I did not expect to see Fathom show up on Hacker News. It's very early but our plan is indeed to go down a similar road as Matomo, albeit more opinionated. Hopefully resulting in a simpler product in the long run.

I feel it's important to point out out that with Fathom, no personal information is tracked (or stored), at all. Only daily and hourly aggregates are stored on the server.

And yes, the demo should not require you to enter credentials. The simple reason is that I haven't gotten to polishing that experience just yet. Sorry.
1) YES. But the schema design was terrible, which isn't a fault of Postgres. The result was a SQL database that didn't scale well, was brittle, required lots of compute resources, and wasn't always redundant. The original codebase existed before me and my team didn't have the approval from management to fix the core issues, so we chose Postgres as the replacement for MySQL.

Since then, we've built new versions of those products, re-architected, and invested 100% into the cloud. Now that we are serverless, cellular, and highly-available we use a NoSQL database that "scales".

The schema concepts from the relational era to the non-relational era haven't changed that much, but we did learn from others mistakes and changed the types of the worst offenders to be JSON. (Which Postgres now supports, yay!)

Now I live in a world were instead of querying for the data from a relational database, I instead have to load more data than I need into "serverless" memory, join the relations, and return the output. That requires at least a single database request for each relational object, increased lines of code, increased complexity, and expensive monthly service costs.

2) We all know that NoSQL is great for non-relational data, but most of my projects have relational data objects. Example. A system has users; a user has notes; a note has attributes.

99% of the time, I'm willing to bet a relational database is needed, and I have yet to find a project that benefited from NoSQL.

Ironically, I've been thinking about the SQL to NoSQL trend for the last couple of weeks and asked myself similar questions. I came to the conclusion that a relational database is not only more natural and more efficient but cheaper in the long run.

Just my thoughts.
Horrid idea. We have friends who live near the sign, which is just an old real estate advert that originally said 'hollywoodland' to encourage development.

It's a nice hilly neighborhood and the sign is best seen from down below not up close. An aerial tramway would be better to some non residential location nearby where they can see the sign and views of LA IMO
Not factual hence the downvotes.
Holy hell that is a messed up thing to say. Like "could and maybe should be fired for that alone" kinda messed up.

>>You push data consistency concerns out of the database and between service boundaries.

No architecture principle will help you if you design things the wrong way.

The point of Micro services architecture is to design large working systems, from smaller working systems.
As a developer I’d manage if I had to use Windows, but it wouldn’t be comfortable at all and things like Windows’ horrible font rendering would continue to grate on me no matter how long I use it.

I’d fare better with some flavor of Linux but I’d need time to tweak my setup to be just right.

A big part of my attraction to macOS is that most things are set up as I prefer right out of the box, with the extent of tweaks necessary being little more than spending 5 minutes in system preferences and downloading Alfred.
I have a passion for coding, but I don't think I'm very good at it. It's not fun to do anything if every single step results in getting massively stuck especially when those steps are considered prerequisites to being competent. At that point, it just seems like a person is barking up the wrong tree.

I got into programming for the money and because I like problem solving and concrete results. I honestly think it would be perfect match if I had +10 IQ points. As for your suggestion, I wouldn't know where to begin looking for things "on the side" as you put it.
Ha! I was going to reference Splinter Cell, but that's probably where they got it from.
Why wouldn't you auto generate the simple SQL stuff? It's a no brainier really. It's so easy to dynamically create simple selects, updates, etc.

History repeats itself...well it's at least similar.
I knew this day would come. We have come full circle. Also I really like this comment:

I work on skaffold and with the jib folks at Google. Why not have the best of both worlds? :) The code that lives here will use jib for the build and skaffold for the deploy, so you get those really fast (and native) workflows.

I know right! My kickball league isn't on there.
Agreed. Discontinuing the Air seems much more likely. This is so aggravating to me. Air + retina display would have been the perfect laptop for years now, but they simply refused to make it. I hate many of the changes Apple has been making instead, and the new keyboard is an absolute deal-breaker. Don't know how I will ever willingly give Apple my money again...
Actual tech specs:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/new-surface-go/8V9DP4LNKNS...

Display
10” PixelSense™ Display with 1800 x 1200 (217 PPI) resolution, 3:2 aspect ratio, 10-point multi-touch, and ink

Storage
64GB eMMC, 128GB, solid-state drive (SSD)

Connections
1 x USB-C, 3.5 mm headphone jack, 1 x Surface Connect port, Surface Type Cover Port, 1 x MicroSDXC Card Reader

The do seem dead set on keeping the "surface connect" port for charging.

As mentioned by others, type cover sold separately.

Of note is also that they mention that the screen is compatible with the surface "dial".

No type cover and a relatively lo res screen makes this a bit of a "meh". Still over 200 PPI isn't terrible.

Don't you mean, "figuratively"? Or are you implying that there is some dude at PayPal that is using this legal template as undergarments?

Is this a Firefox password manager or a general password manager with integration with Firefox? Should I expect to be able to replace 1Password with it for instance. If I can't then I have no motivation to have two password managers.

Unrelated, does this page implement it's own custom scrolling? I get some weird rendering bugs when scrolling too, very stuttery.
So, what untrustworthy things do you suspect him of?

I love your post and agree 1000%
I just watched a few things about block 10, operation paperclip and nuremberg 2nd trial and .. indeed it's unbelievable that such things happened in the 50s.
>>So, how is this different? Because he happens to be able to build a "submersible" for kids, he should get a pass?

Because this wasn't Tesla or SpaceX taking out an ad and saying 'look at all the good we can do!' this was a human using resources in his means to help a situation. In the end it was futile, but it's pretty amazing that they were able to prototype something in days and offer support in the way they know.

Sure, you can argue he's a narcissist, but the public made him that way. His entire legacy and fortune was built on PR, which we gave him on a silver platter. Now all of a sudden it's become bad taste to support him, and everyone flips and expects him to slink away into the shadows.

There was literally 0 net negative from his move. Sure he got his name thrown around headlines, but it didn't take away from the hundreds of people who contributed.

Why is being critical of someone so much more important than acknowledging an act of kindness?
Nobody buys a cassette today because they are looking for the highest quality possible, the most pristine reproduction.

I would even venture to say that a distinctive low quality sound would be preferable, if it sounds like a digital it's not so fun anymore.
No, I would have done EE/Math instead.
Exactly, so it is NOT genocide according to the Rome Statute, Article 6 definition. Unless you really want to argue that US ICE is doing this in a deliberate attempt to 'destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group'?
> how do you manage to get 'green' builds when there is code that is not compliant with style or inspections?

See if there is tooling to do it for you. Google seems to favor this approach, seeing as they put out YAPF for python and gofmt for Go.
I think that with the rise in popularity of functions as a service (lambda, gcf, azure), we are heading more and more towards nanoservices.

Small services are easier to develop with several teams, in my opinion. Each team knows what to input, and output. They can do whatever in between as long as these two contracts are respected.

But the overlooking of all these moving pieces changing at different paces is tough. And the smaller the services get, the harder it will become.

Not a size fits all, clearly!
So they split everything apart because their tests were failing and they didn't want to spend time fixing them, and they they merged it back together by spending time fixing and improving their tests?

It seems like the problem here was bad testing and micro repos, not microservices.
