Um. I'm a legacy domain holder and I would never ever have expected google to upgrade me to things like play family plan. It was clear the day they called me legacy, what was happening.

This article is horrible to read on mobile. It has a forced size which is bigger than what fits on a 5 inch display and I can't resize it.
actually I recall a time when I made a mistake in code placement that would have been avoided if I had followed this principle.

I had made an api controller, but then we needed to expand what our api covered to cover everything the app did (should have gone api first but again, my mistake, also partially inherited code base)

So of course I should have put the parts of the api that handled users into the user controller and the parts that handled images into the image controller and so on and so forth, but instead I thought (and here I can point to overwork dulling ones thinking processes) 'I have an api controller, this stuff now needs to be moved over from these other controllers into api controller' and in the end it became a horrible mishmash with some duplicated functionality I needed to fix later.
“Breakthrough” algorithm exponentially faster than any previous one
I don’t doubt that it is true. Same for proof reading your own writing. In your own code, you see the “happy path” (what it is supposed to do) so much clearer than the other paths. Someone else looking at the same code doesn’t necessarily know what it th code is “supposed” to do so they see the other paths more easily.
As a cyclist, while I see where you are coming from, I would prefer to be on the road. It's much quicker when you are a first class citizen. The solution the dutch have is far better. They have bike roads (not lanes). The way to retro fit this in the US would be to embed physical divider bollards in the road.

WTF?

I'm also upset by the large percentage of slaughtered animals that isn't eaten. Do you have an easy solution for me, just stop eating those species of animals?

I'm also upset by the large percentage of vegetables that's thrown away by the shops. Do you have an easy solution for me, just stop eating vegetables?
You are simply wrong.
I am vegetarian now for 10 years, I have been hearing the same de-motivational talk since I started. (but less so now)
Ten years ago there were not so many vegetarians or vegans, now Israel (I read) is one of the leading countries in the ratio of vegetarians in the population.
Don't be discouraged, if you stop eating fish, friends will hear and some will get inspired and do the same. Eventually many will make the same decision.
These processes take time.
Like most Hacker News users, I have a bunch of domains. I'd be happy if my personal info wasn't in whois.
We stripe two sets of 4 P30's to get up to 2,000 MB/sec on GS 5's - storage costs about £800 per vm per month for that.
That depends on what time scales you are looking at.

Also staying Abroad and investing in India isn't a good thing to do. Sometimes there are encroachment issues.
Those are all good ideas, I agree, and I commend anyone with the dedication to pursue them. But even just not eating fish and setting a positive example to your friends and colleagues etc is still worth doing. I became vegan because of the example of a friend and several of my friends, while not vegan, have been eating less meat & fish as a consequence of my example and are more conscious in the choice of the meat & fish they do eat.

I'd love to see the animal agriculture industries forced to pay for their externalities but I doubt it's going to happen any time soon. But in the meantime a lot of positive change has come just from people being made more aware of where what they eat comes from and what it costs to get it there. Non-dairy milks have become so popular, for example, that they've put a huge dent in the dairy industry's profits.
what vm type do you have? you have to be careful not to hit the throttle limits otherwise your performance is awful.

what matters is:

- chosen vm size
- disk striping (or apps that use multiple disks)
- whether you attach with caching on or off, so you can work with both throttles
Well that is what happens when releasing open source tech with licenses that support this kind of behavior, nothing to be outrageous about.
What if the workshop grows into a factory? Then you have people walking into the gigantic tool closet, overwhelmed by all the tools they'll never use when they just want to find their wrench. I don't think metaphors really help here and it's mostly a matter of consistency and tooling. Instead of having to guess who uses a function or where it originates from, my editor gives me "go to definition" and "find all references". I also have "go to symbol", which allows me to search for classes or functions instead of having to browse the folder structure manually. I think it's best to optimize for the advanced tools we have to inspect a codebase instead of manual browsing and aesthetics.
As the parent comment states, the biggest killer of efficiency is communication, particularly across disciplines and across domains. Reducing the overhead of communication and reporting would seem to the the skill most essential to management but generally it's the skill that is generally lacking, or indeed, absent.

The unix philosophy of composable teams can only happen when the communications are clear, concise and don't generate much, if any, overhead. I'd love to see a company with a CCO - Chief Communications Officer - who has a team responsible for making sure that the information passed among the various parts of the organisation was effective and free of bullshit or grandstanding.

"Award winning journalism" that doesn't respect basic human rights as the right for privacy and just blocks all EU citizens. How fucking surreal.
> What I meant is that the capability that "nobody can forge a transaction" and "don't need to trust anyone" are actually the same thing. You are forced to trust your bank because your bank could forge a transaction on your behalf. You trust them not to do this. That is the nature of your trust in them. Blockchain eliminates this weakness, and it is in that sense that you do not have to trust a 3rd party.

If this is really what you're saying, then you've completely changed your argument 180 degrees to match that of me and the above commenter (which is cool!), because earlier you said the exact opposite. Specifically, when the above commenter said "you have to trust the network to maintain the value", you rebutted that that "is clearly not the point. The transfer itself does not require trust. That is the value." Now that you've concluded that the actually is trustless storage rather than in trustless transfer, yes, I think we are in agreement!

Notwithstanding the above, by the way, it simply isn't true that "I am forced to trust my bank because they could forge a transaction on my behalf". It's actually the opposite... I don't trust my bank for precisely that reason. Rather, as I stated above, the reason I nevertheless end up ultimately trusting my bank is that I trust the government will have my back if the bank decides to screw me over illegally. Again: it has nothing to do with the bank's capabilities or lack thereof, and everything to do with the legal system.

actually one problem you have here, and you're probably realizing from the responses, is a problem I had with a personal project that could be used to build lots of things that people wanted, but in itself was not a thing people want. In order to monetize you need to build one of the things people want, but in doing so you put focus into one area and stop improving the generic base of everything, as well as not producing many little toy examples of the possibilities of your technology.

Second, fix problem with off-topics — create possibility to separate off-topic branches from main branch, so users can discuss their problems without disturbing others.

Third, text contains no emotions or political battles. It's just text. Minor correction of text between two historians can be major insult to you.

I ran some quick tests on Azure with an app which relies heavily on fast write ops. On a dedicated server with SDD this is very fast in the range of <1ms (in relation negible latency). But on Azure there were random spikes of >1s writes. I haven’t tested any more but will do some more thorough tests.

My friend works for $financial_subcontractor and he told me they have an XmX of 1,46TB on their servers so that they can load the data needed for market analysis.

The response time is quite fantastic (less than a minute), but there are drawbacks:
- GC takes in the order of minutes to complete
- loading the data takes 90 min from spinning rust

So yeah, it's possible, but your bottleneck becomes the storage driver.

> There’s a stick in a bill by Sen. Bob Wieckowski (D-Fremont). It would require all beverage containers sold in California to contain a minimum amount of recycled material. CalRecycle would establish the minimum.

This would appear to disadvantage biodegradable beverage containers. Why not just tax the non-recycled portions instead of establishing a minimum, using the tax proceeds to buy recycling scrap?
Comparing profit doesn't really make sense either. Companies like Amazon show next to no net profit cause they choose to reinvest all their money to avoid taxes and shareholders reap the benefits through capital gains.
> HDD uncached read latency: 11ms, SSD: 4.5, local SSD: 1ms

I am surprised by the poor performance of the remote SSD. I was under the impression that the ip latency within the same datacentre would be <1ms. Does anyone know what is causing this?
Yeah, I could imagine that getting the end of your jeans or a shoelace caught in that, you're in for a bad time.
The centralized gas is still much cleaner than burning petrol or diesel or even gas in a car. Then there are mechanical efficiencies in electric engines.

Plus it may be easier to modify the grid to be clean rather than every car.

It is a good initiative. We'll see about the implementation.

> If many people are still making the mistake of using Hadoop when those costs outweight the benefits, it seems that understanding isn't quite wide enough.

That's probably true but, cynically, I tend to think a lot of the time when people use Hadoop they're not doing it because Hadoop is the best solution: they're doing it because the solution allows them to use Hadoop.
You sound very dramatic. You know, you could just not update the OS if it's that important to you.

Fish catch in East Africa is down 75% in 30 years. That’s huge - given increased population, hunting effort and “fishing down the food chain”, as species previously not eaten are now fished. There will undoubtedly be substitution - but we barely understand the 2nd order effects, let alone 3rd , 4rth and 5th.

It should be quite doable to spin up a container/VM on demand. I'd probably look at lxd/lxc or bsd jails for this (both with zfs for storage) - or if there now are any real ways to run containers under hw virtualization - maybe that.

Maybe something like:

https://github.com/rkt/rkt/blob/master/Documentation/running...

for VM backed containers - but I'm not sure if it's considered stable and/or secure.

How we store our documents; how we structure our work: This is a constant background channel of communication to the entire team, working tirelessly every moment of every day. It strongly influences how we think about our work, and is one of the best ways we have of influencing the engineering culture of our organisation.

Melvin Conway: "Organizations which design systems ... are constrained to produce designs which are copies of the communication structures of these organizations."

The way that we organise our filing system is nothing less than the (asynchronous) communications structure of the organisation, and needs to be architected with the same care and attention to detail.

By the same token, no single scheme will fit all organisations, and each team should seek to find a way of structuring their work that plays to their strengths and gives them a unique competitive advantage.

I can’t imagine the LA Times has enough subscribers nor advertisers in the EU to make establishing a compliance regime worth it. They may be respecting users’ privacy. But complying with the spirit of a law and each of a union’s twenty-eight national regulators are night and day.

> I just want to point out that you are free to use your own, more complete or faster instruction emulator with WHP.

True. This is an unimportant rant on my side, since it would be nice to have a complete emulator out-of-the-box. But it's true it can be solved in userspace (EDIT: now I wonder how could we inject exceptions back into the guest, should they occur during emulation in userspace).

> I'm curious what you mean about no guest debugging support.

This would allow the host to introduce software/hardware breakpoints and single-stepping through the guest. This is extremely relevant to debug bootloaders/microkernels, or in my case, closed-source kernels that do not support debugging. Some hypervisors, e.g. KVM (and soon HAXM), support this: check "KVM_DEBUG_GUEST" at https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/virtual/kvm/api.txt

> Also curious about the other shortcomings so that we can prioritize appropriately.

The API provides no way to add/override/hook arbitrary MSRs while handling guests's rdmsr/wrmsr instructions, or override CPUID leaves/subleaves. This is required to run certain kernels are designed to run in specific x86 processors. Of course, most hypervisors lack this feature and I understand that WHPX is fairly recent so I'm not complaining about the lack of it. My issue is rather that closed-source implementations are not helpful for researchers since shortcomings like these means the whole library is no longer usable for us. Comparatively adding such features to (say) KVM or HAXM takes just few hours.

Also, don't get me wrong. I feel it's incredibly valuable having finally an API allowing developers benefit from Hyper-V in userland. I'm just concerned about the current trend of hypervisor APIs, as every vendor eventually just ships a closed hypervisor library for its own platform, and developers have to put up with 5 different ways of doing the same thing.

(PS: I've invested quite some time on HAXM, but I'm not affiliated with Intel in any way)
Not denying that changing your habits and setting an example for your friends has some impact. I'm only trying to frame it in the relation to the problem. Its marginal first order effects are negligible. This concept was hard for me to accept emotionally too, in the space of energy use - whether or not I reduce my usage of electricity and gas has near-zero immediate impact on anything except my wallet. Such is the problem of scale.

The irony is, that the very same thing that's individually almost meaningless, is also the solution once everyone follows it. And there's a point in the middle somewhere, when the idea becomes popular - like vegetarianism today - and suddenly its impact becomes much greater than before. It gets noticed by the market, it starts flowing through feedback loops and begins affecting everything else. One person in a million refusing to eat fish is meaningless. One in a thousand starts to sound like a business opportunity, and business begets more business.

The trick is, how to get from here to there. Basically, how to start and sustain a movement.

I guess my whole point here is: if you care about a social problem then do your individual thing (here: stop eating fish). But don't stop there, try to do more. Try to speed up the change instead of just changing yourself and hoping others will follow. If we know anything about society, we know this: there are two primary motivators for changing behavior - things that impact one's sense of identity/ego, and things that impact one's wallet. Popularizing fish abstinence is an ego-based solution. Taxing the fishing industry is the economics-based one. We should pursue both.

We're beginning to learn and refactor towards this approach.

We've already layered the app between state and UI. UI components are grouped by features. We've not done this with state but it makes sense to. But we can't see a benefit to merging state and UI layers. There are multiple UI features that make use of a set of actions and selectors.
