I missed that parenting memo.

I will share a tip that seemed to work pretty good, most of the time. All negatives can be stated as a positive. For example, instead of "Don't run!" maybe say "Please walk".

Takes a lot of practice. The biggest change, of course, is in me (ourselves), a shift in attitude, trying to figure out positive vs negative reinforcement.
I went to the page to read details about how he load balanced upstream connections, or if he was using heartbeat or whatnot. I didn't find that, but what I did find was a gratuitous amount of kit that made me happy my infrastructure choice at home is much, much simpler.

My setup is Comcast going into a simple, reliable Surfboard modem, feeding a Google Wifi setup. If it goes down, which it just really doesn't do, we can use cellular data.

Complexity is the enemy of availability. Keep it as simple as possible, but no simpler.
Chris covered this pretty well, but you'll notice in my post and in the slides from my RubyC talk (https://speakerdeck.com/headius/the-year-of-jruby-rubyc-2018) I usually include CRuby + JIT from this year in the results. It rarely helps more than a few percentage points, even on numeric algorithms, so I'd say it's too early to claim anything about it.
Great article. OpenBSD makes it so simple to do this.

Anyone using Ubiquiti Edge X routers can apply this too (Linux under the hood) in almost the exact same fashion. Works great even on slow DSL links.

As a developer with carpal and cubital tunnel syndrome, I'm extremely excited about the possibility of voice programming. However my experience was that it's somewhere between non-existent and impractical when I last tried it.

It was actually the inspiration for my undergraduate research which explored (scratched the surface, really) the use of Lojban[0] as an "interactive metaprogramming language". The benefits of Lojban are that it is significantly more expressive than making sounds that are mapped to vim-like commands via a hacked natural language recognition engine, is isomorphic between text and speech (you can speak mathematical expressions with precision), is phonologically and grammatically unambiguous, and is standardized/has a community -- even if it's a small one.

I still think it's a paradigm shift and would be indescribably more efficient and powerful than traditional code exploration and editing. And I would love to continue, but it's such a massive project and working on something that foreign alone for long enough is really isolating because it's hard to explain. Lojban also has its fair share of problems for this and would need to be further standardized and scoped out for computers, so there's really not a clear path forward in any case.

Regardless, for those _currently_ suffering from hand and arm issues preventing them from coding and/or working, my advice is:

1) don't panic. Go on antidepressants and/or see a therapist if you need to; it's going to take a while to recover

2) rest as much as possible and make sure to get a lot of sleep

3) wear wrist braces to sleep to prevent further damage in the short term (consult a doctor and all that, you want to avoid muscle atrophy so don't use them for too long without starting some kind of muscle strengthening program)

4) invest in proper tools (standing desk + ergonomic keyboard is like magic for me, I can actually type again)

5) gain weight if you're on the low-side of normal weight -- this helped my cubital tunnel syndrome quite a bit by giving my ulnar nerve more protection

And finally, don't give up hope; I'm able to work full time and don't wear wrist braces to sleep at all anymore after a little over a year.

Yes, that’s my point: why are we getting an article that makes developer performance claims about a new language, without even the most basic information about that language?

This was as all fairly straightforward to implement a decade ago on cheap hardware and cheap switches running OpenBSD on pair of ALIXs and pair of semi-cheap net gear switches. Full firewall and VPN fail over using pfsync and sasync, IP failover with CARP.

You can do load balancing using PF as well, which is what we were mostly offering, cheap fault tolerant hosting for colocated customers.

I don’t even care about the source, and like I said video presentations about a language aren’t meaningful to me - it’s super easy to not actually touch on any of the things that are actually hard problems in your presentation if you don’t actually provide the full information.

A lot of language decisions are the result of how you handle the edgecases, and how they interact with the rest of the semantics of the language. When thought isn’t given to that you get wonderful things like == in JavaScript (the absurd appearing behaviour is completely consistent with the internal semantics of the language - the weirdness is the result of other language features happening during evaluation)
TruffleRuby and JRuby have always been separate projects, but TR kinda "grew up" as part of JRuby for a couple years. Eventually we decided the goals were becoming too different so TR split back off into its own project.

We still communicate, we share several support libraries, and I'm sure we'll mimic some of their optimizations just like they've mimicked some of our features, but there's not a lot of commonality between the projects anymore.

Great to hear it! JRuby has always tried to be the best "JVM Ruby" it can be, which means we've spent more time getting things like Rails to run inside a normal JVM or application server than anyone else. I don't see that changing going forward...if you want to run a standard JVM, JRuby's the only game in town.

I believe everyone (except infants) is well aware of this.
The famous Jim Rohn quote: “you are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with” was once clarified to me by a psychologist as “you become what the 5 people closest to you think you are”.
Mastodon Social is a perfect example of a thriving decentralized platform. It is a network of small communities that are mostly run by volunteers or are supported by the users directly. There are no ads or exploitation of users in this system.

Hosting is incredibly cheap nowadays, and the whole point behind decentralization is that no single server has to host all the users. You can run a Digital Ocean server for 5 bucks a month and host your own community. Meanwhile, containarization makes it much simpler to deploy and keep complex apps up to date.

Other decentralized services such as PeerTube are also popping up, and all these services are able to talk to one another via an open protocol called ActivityPub.

You might be wondering how people are supposed to make money off this and the answer is that they aren't. We don't need walled gardens and megacorps mining our data in order to talk to one another.
If your round trip includes landing on the moon, not even close. Otherwise yes. The current vehicles would also be capable of putting a theoretical third party lander on the moon that could return, but not one is developing such a lander (and it would be fairly weight constrained, ~2/3rds the mass of Apollo).

The really exciting thing for the moon/mars isn't what SpaceX has already has finished hardware doing though (lowering launch costs by, optimistically, an order of magnitude), but what they are actively in the process of doing. Developing a ship and rocket that they claim will be able to put on the order of 100 tons on the moon... lowering launch costs by multiple orders of magnitude.

Given their track record, the money they are (visibly) spending on this goal, and the fact that what they say they are going to do seems possible, it is reasonable to think that there is a good chance they will succeed.

This is a fantastic idea. Perhaps HN community could start an initiative to support this. Ageism in tech is a huge problem that is widely discussed here as is the disconnect between technology and law makers.

Personally I feel that this shouldn't even be necessary. In theory all you need to be able to vocalise is what you want the code to achieve, then that could be mapped to something similar to a snippet based on what language you are using. Most programming languages share the same core abilities, it's just the syntax to achieve the task that matters once you know what the task is. So this shouldn't need to be handled by a dedicated programming language for voice coding, it could just be handled by a wrapper (A text editor for your voice with an advanced NLP based snippet system).

Something like: "Check if A is equal to B, if it is, return A, if not, return B" would be much more efficient than saying "if parenthesis capital A equals equals captial B..." and so on.
I don't. Do you really want to rely on a currency whose value fluctuates as wildly as Bitcoin's? I like knowing that the $X deposited in my bank account a few days ago will have approximately the same value in a few months or years.

I've never heard of an approach like this, how did you settle on 42? I'd be very interested to see an example if you have some code hosted somewhere?

My initial reaction is 42 is too short and would encourage terse non-descriptive naming and be a pain to deal with long strings.

You've misunderstood.

Nobody is saying content uploaded by users should be inviolable. The points of contention are who is legally responsible for users' infringements. This law tilts the balance from "users are responsible" towards "websites are responsible."

Much as it was fretted about at the time, the DMCA seems to have worked out pretty well in practice. It strikes a balance that is reasonably effective and not overly burdensome on small, fast-growing companies. The regulatory burden of the new law is much greater.
Technically-minded people are used to systems that are at some level logically consistent. A common misconception is that the same rules apply to politics and social or political power[1]. Laws and politics are not logical, internally consistent systems by design. Of course laws are written ambiguously; the uncertainty about the scope of a law is a feature.

Laws that might apply to a very broad set of behaviors and situations can be selectively enforced. If you are uncertain if you activities became illegal, you are incentivized to err on the safe side and self-censor.

The fact that “please tell the lackey cops" is code for "I am 1st Lt. Robert Rackstraw" is absurd. “Unk” means “skyjacking a plane”??? I don’t know what the codes they used in Vietnam were, but I don’t think they needed a code for “a man is skyjacking a plane.”

Ask HN: HN supported initiative to transition ageing developers to legal?
On the recent front page post on Articles 11 & 13[0] a reply was left to this comment:

>It turns out that regulations are made largely by old lawyers, who are more connected and charismatic than smart and practical, and haven't operated in the real-world for decades. (user: dokein)

Which went like this:

>Maybe that's the career path for aging programmers. Get a law degree. (user: jonhendry18)

Ageism in tech is a huge problem that is widely discussed here as is the disconnect between technology and law makers. It is in fact the perfect intersection which will result in the maximum value add impact for ageing technologists. Given that HN is frequented by many ageing developers and also quite a few lawyers there is an opportunity to create a community supported initiative to make this easier for all involved. I don't quite have ideas on what this would look like so I have created this post to start an open forum discussion where we can collect ideas and see if there is an appetite to make this happen.

Please share you industry/experience specific or general insights, ideas and thoughts.
