It's become very stable with the years. It's somehow never penetrated the silicon valley echo chamber, probably due to instability in its earlier years. Operationally, it's got most things you need - on-line add node, rolling upgrades, monitoring, etc.

We use NDB to store both the metadata in-memory, but also to store small files on NVMe disks. We had talks with lots of other DB vendors, but, frankly, none of them have high performance support for cross-partition transactions, which is needed. DBs like VoltDB, MemSQL, NuoDB all have promise, but serialize cross-shard operations.
I don't think the Redis Labs modules were distributed via Linux package managers, no?

I was under the impression you had to download them from github or something and install yourself.

Redis, which is the whole confusion, has NOT had a license change so Debian and Redhat will continue to have its package as normal.

So there's nothing to talk about regarding Debian or Redhat etc and it's all a confusion about Redis open source and specific Redis modules from Redis Labs that were not distributed via Debian or Redhat anyways.
I once wanted to write an Ansible playbook to install VPN on a server but found out that you cannot just pass parameters via command line like

ansible setup-vpn 1.2.3.4

Ansible expects you to write host address into a file in /etc. So inconvenient. Also, Ansible doesn't support Windows and Cygwin.

It turned out it was easier to write instructions into a Bash program. Sadly, it is non-portable and works only with a specific distribution.

It is also surprising how many files are there in the repository for a relatively simple task. And how complicated installation process is. In PHP everything would be easier, because you can pack your application into a single phar archive like in Java.

They don't support builtin Android client. I remember I installed Strongswan or something like this and it worked with Android out of the box.

I wouldn't recommend Digital Ocean. They don't accept virtual debit card (they want a real card so they can charge you whenever they want) and their VPS are too expensive. $5 per month is too expensive when you can find offers as low as 1 euro/month in Europe with pre-paid system.
It does look cool. And it also looks like a huge labor of love. Luckily CBS and Paramount Pictures already have guidelines in place for allowing noncommercial fan-made productions. One hopes that they will continue to recognize how important hardcore fandom like this is to the success of the franchise.

> users are also website hostile

What a crock. If someone wants to try making a quick buck by programming their computer to spam machines all over the world with millions of ads, it's absolutely legitimate for people to program their own computers to discard such junk.

If that first person's parasitic activities don't make as much money as they predicted, then the failure lies in their prediction.

> Users want to have their cake and eat it too.

Everyone wants that; yet I don't think it's the users who are actually trying it.

Users who block ads are actually eating the site owner's cake. For example, visitors to my (ad-free) site implicitly rely on me paying the hosting and domain fees, i.e. making my cake available for them to eat. Since the cost is small and the enjoyment I get from running the site is high, I'm happy with this arrangement; and would stop if that were no longer the case.

On the other hand, those plastering their sites with ads to make money are the ones trying to have their cake and eat it: they're trying to make a profit from something that is not profitable. They can't lament any loss of money, since it's their fault for giving it away (either directly via hosting fees, or via the opportunity cost of e.g. creating unprofitable content/services instead of something people are willing to pay for).

Ask HN: How can I professionally make the most of moving to a big city?
Hi HN. I recently moved across the pond from a smallish town in America to Europe (Berlin fwiw). One of the draws for me here (among many others) is the opportunity to further myself professionally. Where I have been living, the tech space is tiny relatively speaking. That said, what are some of the best parts of living in a large city for you? What's worth (or a waste of) your time? What has helped you grow the most or just been interesting? Looking forward to hearing about your experiences.

Yes, I agree with that. We used to have volume and flatrate tariffs for DSL. The flatrates used to be unlimited, then the volume tariffs were removed and the flatrates became volume tariffs with a high (but limited) volume.

Even according to English Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_rate

"A flat fee, also referred to as a flat rate or a linear rate, refers to a pricing structure that charges a single fixed fee for a service, regardless of usage."

Emphasis mine. I'd understand this as there being a service (e.g. high-speed DSL) which you pay a fixed fee for, independent of how much you use it. That does also mean that if you use it more they don't shut it off, because otherwise you're not getting the service independent of usage.

I'm going to guess that AWS is slightly more sophisticated than this, and has good data showing that the vast majority of users of this sort of instance type basically sit idle all the time. Certain customers may consistently max out their t3 instances, but those instances would be spread across thousands of host boxes, sharing resources with the tens of thousands of other customers who aren't utilizing the full capacity.

This is called a Pigovian tax.
I believe that Pigovian taxes are not a good solution for plastics and other multifaceted environmental issues because of the complexity in calculating the total environmental cost of all the externalities of a product.

I think consumers would change their buying behavior if they knew the real cost of their purchases.

For that reason I believe there is a big opportunity (and chance to save the planet) for a startup to calculate this real cost in an automated way and influence buying behavior by making the consumers aware of it.

There's another passage in that book that this article might help explain: IIRC, there came a time when Henshaw and his fellow test pilots experienced some life-threatening engine failures of the Spitfires that they were testing, at one point forcing him to make a crash landing in an urban area (perhaps the Wednesfield crash of 7/18/1942 mentioned in his Wikipedia entry? And is that perhaps the incident mentioned in the last paragraph of your quote?) The cause was traced to something like a small change in the order in which the engines were assembled. That the British-built engines were hand-crafted seems to make this less surprising.

I would guess that, being hand-built, it would be trickier to keep them well-maintained, and require a particularly well-trained and skilled corps of artificers. The article does not get into it, but I wonder if there were differences in reliability between the Packard- and Rolls-Royce- built Merlins?

Backend vs Frontend.

While it is true that Runkit (backend) offers the ability to play around without being logged in, Francisco and team are also focused on providing an amazing Node prototyping, learning and debugging environment, so that’s a necessity. We’re super impressed with their work. (Note to Runkit team: feel free to jump in.)

Our value prop, however, is that we’re an API platform (Standard Library), and Code.xyz is a product that enables less technical people (those uncomfortable with command line tools) the ability to jump in and build within our ecosystem right away.

APIs are namespaced to your user account as an intentional design decision of the system. Code.xyz is a product that’s intended to be used in a professional setting to stand up business APIs (Slack bots, Stripe webhooks) and we’re okay with that trade off — at least for now!

I’d say if you just wanna play around with an embeddable REPL environment stick to Runkit. If you want an API you can stand up and run in production (for whatever purpose) but also want to develop it and collaborate on it in the browser, then we’re for you! Think of us like Google Docs for API development, at least that’s our North Star.

You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, yet you're evangelizing HTML5, that's the problem.

Talk to somebody who tried to bring Video or 2D(!) animated content over from Flash to the Web. It was (and remains) a total clusterfuck. Not just because of performance but because of compatibility. Flash just worked. Web video or (god forbid) WebRTC are still problematic.

That's not to say that I want Flash back, but ignoring that it was proprietary, it was the better technology.

You can put everything in that list into 3 categories:

1. Fixing the problem: posture & monitor/keyboard height

2. Masking the problem: anything with the word ergonomic

3. Avoiding the problem: typing less/taking frequent (flow-interrupting) breaks

Of course most people with pain want quick solutions, so no. 2 is going to be over-represented. Fixing your posture actually takes work to stretch/compress different muscle groups over a period of time, otherwise you’re back to slouching after 10 minutes.
It's not 2018 and Linux still has issues with this, rather it's 2018 and Linux is starting to have real issues with this.

Windows is the only desktop OS where 32-bit is still commonly used. On Linux, you nowadays generally don't have any 32-bit applications installed. Many Linux distributions don't offer 32-bit support anymore at all, because you'll have a seriously hard time finding hardware that doesn't support 64-bit.

With Steam however at the moment still only being available as 32-bit, you need 32-bit versions of the libraries that Steam uses. Distributions not hosting 32-bit libraries anymore, means you need to get these libraries in a different way.

Many distributions now actually offer you to install a Steam installer, which then gets the necessary 32-bit libraries from elsewhere.

You can also install Steam through a new package format, called "Flatpak", which includes all the necessary libraries directly in the package.

But these are all new workarounds and may still have problems. Flatpak in fact has only turned 1.0 a few days ago.

I also share same opinion based on my experience. Events can be modified and deleted but that must be an exceptional situation (GDPR and other compliances, etc.). But even if it's exceptional you have to provide a clear and easy way to do so and that increases complexity of the solution by a lot.

Another thing is strongly consistent models, there may be valid requirements in some problem areas to have a strongly consistent and normalized model and use it for command validation. This helps especially well in the case when all requirements are not known upfront and/or business domain changes very frequently. A small change in business may require to completely redo the aggregate roots and logic if you follow standard approach, this is very expensive. A better decision could be to use a normalized SQL database instead of an aggregate root. Such approach may be more flexible in certain cases and have it's own benefits as well as cost and drawbacks.
