I would say they're so much ahead because they're so far behind.

True, in the US consumer rights are largely a joke, but on the same token doing business in the EU seems to be a huge regulatory mess for corporations both abroad and internal and it's quite hard to imagine any company in the EU reaching the heights of Microsoft or Apple, or even seeing more adventurous and risky endeavors like Tesla.

Pros and cons to both sides of having such rules. I'm certainly on the side of believing pro-consumer rights, but the lack of them may not be entirely a bad thing from a macro economic standpoint either.

"Across the country"? I thought that a lot of the production of the English warbow and its associated equipment was pretty centralized. Hunting equipment (both bows and arrows) as something entirely different (I think there's some evidence in found arrowheads).

But yeah, the article also equates "metalworker" and "blacksmith" in the first sentence, which is a bit weird, considering how highly specialized professions often were. No such thing as a "full stack smith", especially in late medieval cities.

I think this is a wonderful point. I have elderly parents who depend on the web and mobile apps for a lot of the logistics of their everyday life, so I see the harm that this causes. The constant forced updates (looking at you, Windows) represent arbitrarily moving goal posts, UX-wise.

Gratuitous animation, new "social/platform" features, notification-spam, new "design languages", and etc. benefit the elderly even less than they benefit the rest of us - rather these things actively hurt them when basic things suddenly become confusing and difficult without warning. We've made digital technology mandatory for most people, and we've made it unnecessarily bewildering for a big subset of them, basically by pretending that all users are youngish, digitally-fluent, time-rich, and open to unasked-for "innovation".
> Chas knows very well how Clojure is authored. I suppose some people believe their contributions or community status give them higher authority and a right to publicly pressure Rich Hickey.

Thought experiment: assume for a moment Rich is now running Clojure into the ground, and this is a bad thing. Who are the people that _do_ have standing to try speak up and make things better? If not Chas, who?

> The entire idea that a different process would produce better results is an insult in the first place.

No, it's not. Projects grow in complexity as they are used. It is only natural that they require improving governance models as this happens.

Another thought experiment: Name another successful open source project that's stayed on the same sort of governance model throughout the first ten years of its existence. These all usually work the same way: there's an initial individually driven chunk of core development and then the process broadens out to a more community driven effort. (With individually driven spikes along the way that are contributed into the whole.)

It really reminds me of a phrase I heard fairly recently: "Go fast alone, go far together." At some point, a transition probably has to be made.

> The progress and effect we got with Clojure with no enterprise funding/influence is a true miracle.

True enough.

And now we're looking for the next true miracle: sustained development and use over the next twenty, thirty, or more years.

Privacy violations are not free, even more so if your theory is correct since it’s violating the privacy of those not even using the so-called “free” maps. Since your not commenting on ethics, I won’t either, but it’s certainly not free.

I wouldn't call it necessarily ahead but yes, different. Anyway, as an EU citizen, I will bite.

I'm inclined to believe that our politicians don't fancy to get their reach to the public(therefore, their careers) being controlled by an American organization that would sell that reach to the highest bidder or to US interests.

Also, I think that companies or governments knowing too much about you and then doing bad things with that information is not a fiction but a memory or a lesson from the history books and this helps with the public support.

I think they want to have a rule book in place so that they know how these internet media giants operate and make sure that Facebook is making their money by showing chocolate ads but not selling information to 3rd parties who want to shape the political landscape in Europe.

They wouldn't want, for example, have Bulgaria being targeted by Russia or Turkey and start another civil war in the Balkans through acquiring detailed profile information of the few million people there.

The reports that Ghaddafi was massacring people were rumors and were widely publicised when Genevieve Garrigos (Head of Amnesty International) appeared on French TV to report it.

6 months later, the same head of Amnesty International claimed that they had sent in investigators between Feb and July, and those investigators found no evidence that Ghaddafi had hired mercenaries to attack civilians.

Of course that was too late. The French/UK/US operation had already begun well before the investigation took place, and they weren't interested in evidence.

But your media probably didn't report on that.
> I use software RAID1 on Linux using mdadm using whole disk devices (no partitions).

I hate to say this, but it is obvious that a software RAID like mdadm cannot grab raw disks as a whole. If the disk doesn't have a valid GPT and EFI partition at the beginning how it is possible to boot from GRUB, load initramfs, and then load mdadm?

I think something must be misconfigured at the first place.

Protocol has nothing to do with copyright. “Non-auth http” doesn't suddenly make copyright murky.

There is an implicit license to exactly the redistribution necessary to effect access by URL, sure, but this is not “unlimited distribution”.

Republishing is, particularly, not what is licensed.
Um, probably because it was a thing back in the '80s and whatever resurgence it has had is more of a second or even third coming. Cyberpunk does seem to some staying power, but I taught a course on Cyberpunk literature back in '99.

The article contains an image [1] showing several tech-company-funded fonts side-by-side.

The EU is a bit more progressive and it's legislature seems a bit more functional than good old Congress over here. Passing a law around here is pretty much a joke. And with everyone's PACs, corporate payoff of politicians is at an all time high in the US, so passing regulations upon businesses is a lot harder in particular.

The US is starting to lean towards the realization big tech needs to be regulated, but it's going to take us longer to get there.

It wasn’t even the most deadly bombing of the war. The target cities had to be specifically set aside from the conventional bombing raids so that there would be something left to destroy. It came at the end of a decade of intense fighting that saw tens of millions of civilians killed. It’s a remarkable event because it was a single plane with a single bomb rather than hundreds of planes and thousands of bombs, and that had a massive effect on world events afterwards, but the scale of human suffering of this bombing was, sadly, wholly unremarkable by that point.

Do hosting companies no longer give you the speed of a processing core? I couldn't find anywhere that explains how fast 1 of the ARM cores go? Is it 1ghz or 100mhz? Seems like that would be quite important. Seems like 1vCPU is a bit of an arbitary figure. That could be 1 vCPU that goes at 4ghz but then 2 vCPU's that only go at 1ghz. I feel like there's information missing.
I believe it, I used to be involved with an 'ultra lounge' here in Indy and the owner and I had tons of people in our contact list we'd call and send text messages to when we were having a slow night, mostly mid 20's women. We'd tell them to come out, give them a few house shots free which were mostly orange juice with a splash of alcohol, and then people that would walk in would be far more inclined to stay instead of immediately leaving, the girls would often get a drink or two bought for them off walk ins too then they'd usually leave within an hour or two to places more in their price range on the same block and we'd have effectively drawn a self-sustaining crowd.

We'd also put out the brass posts and rope sometimes on slow nights, simply appearing like it was going to be busy enough to have to manage a line was often enough to get people to linger longer.

If a big group came in, like a bridal shower doing a bar craw, we'd usually keep them around longer with a couple of rounds of the house shot too just to keep the female to male ratio up. Eating a few bucks per round of IVs was almost always a good spend in that case.

If they would want equality, it should be symmetric (for example 2 women, 2 men, or 1 woman, 1 man, and 1 any gender). This is clear discrimination against men (though not the first one that we have seen in the past few years).

'Absurd' population growth stops when the population leaves poverty as families start having less children and the sex education improves. So we will hit the mark, the question is what to do about it.

Many of the population that lives in our 7b planet are not living according Western standards, and if they do, we will be in trouble.

Just as an example, you can take this test to see how many Earths we would need if we lived like you: https://www.footprintcalculator.org/

In my case is2.1 Earths, but I understand that for many people it would me much more. So there is the quid of the question, how many Earths we would need per person, not how many persons we have on Earth because that is a number that is irremediably going to grow up to a certain, fixed point and then stop.

There are many things we could fix before encouraging a fully vegan lifestyle.

> If a file is available through non-auth http it’s unclear what the copyright is.

No. Everything that is copyrightable is either under copyright or the copyright has expired. There are no copyrightable works that are neither. What you can do with a file on "non-auth HTTP" depends on what rights the copyright holder grants you. Making it available implies you are allowed to read it. Doesn't imply you're allowed to copy it, print it, sell it, make money with it, ...

Just buy a phone with a headphone jack.
For your specific case, you're already far, far ahead of the curve on my experiences with developers familiar with infrastructure concerns and spreading yourself too thin does nobody any good job or career-wise. I'm in the camp myself - I'm building my depth back and dropping whatever curiosities and novelties show up to get my head on straight. I might argue even that you've gone too far - your value as someone that can code beyond a rudimentary level is much more generalized by default than any network engineer, and context-switching between coding and infrastructure work is almost as bad as switching from coding to meetings. Computers are really fast these days and unless you're typically working with massive scale infrastructures I have trouble seeing an advantage in a developer understanding much more than how to troubleshoot things effectively so that a network engineer can determine what's wrong (being able to identify when packet fragmentation and inappropriate MTU is causing app slow-downs on top of using MTR rather than traceroute will make you a great friend to many network engineers already).

Your infrastructure / SRE peers will appreciate you more for writing software that is easier to deploy and maintain when you're clueless about networking than if you understand networks and designed a system that is extremely stateful when it offers no technical advantage to be that way (databases / caches get a pass, everyone else writing software in 2018 has no excuse to keep state on a machine for longer than a business transaction window). High performing software teams deploy often and have the culture to encourage it in a healthy manner - there is no excuse to write software that is deployed weeks or months as huge chunks of changes unless you fall into very niche enterprisey domains and even still you should at least be making production-releasable software daily.

And like it or not, AWS is the enterprise cloud by fiat now, so it'll determine the bar and etymology for other vendors to meet and (hopefully) exceed.
No worries, this is good advice, I appreciate it.

(Also note I managed to fully recover from this without data loss, and I have backups.)

This RAID setup is already quite old. For newer RAID setups I routinely put the RAID on partitions as you said, after more advice has appeared on the Internet that this is recommended.

However, I didn't find hard arguments for this beyond "if you make the partitions a bit smaller, you can accomodate disks that aren't exactly euqually large" -- certainly I didn't encounter "if you don't do this, UEFI may trash your setup".

It would be inaccurate to say I went "out of my way to set it up in a non-standard manner" though. I didn't use a distro installer, simply because the machine was already installed when I added this RAID to it. I just used straightforward `mdadm --create --create /dev/md0 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sdc /dev/sdd` on bare devices, which is a supported use case by mdadm, and much documentation and tutorial material still mention that you can choose bare devices vs partition (probably hard to blame them for that, given that this is the first and only mainboard I have encountered that does this).
I suspect the program wouldn't last long once they realized the beavers would "come back". Not the same ones, but new ones to the same place they removed them from.

Beavers move too wherever they can find a 'good' spot to build a dam and lodge. If your back yard is such a spot, beavers will move in. As the article says, the right solution is to find ways to live with them.

In my childhood home, the big pond behind our house (maybe 200ft across?) existed because of a big beaver dam. Generations of beavers maintained it. We'd lose a tree or two occasionally, but well worth the benefits.

Gasoline heaters for cars never really took off because of potential hazards and safety but the practicality of them sound intriguing to me. Many people in the midwest idle their cars till they are warm enough to be comfortable. I think this activity is now banned in some places. Besides gasoline heaters would it make sense for an entrepreneur to try to market an e85 heater (maybe less toxic than gas?) propane or diesel? Seems like such a thing could be popular with van campers or EV drivers if it could be made inherently safe.
> Doesn't state grow unmanageably large for complex GUIs?

Yes, and there are various ways to make this less of a problem. Still, React generally favors explicitly passing props down the component hierarchy, keeping the actual UI bits pure functions and composing them in various ways that is typical of FP.

> I'm not sure about that. Take a look, both projects are much older: https://github.com/dotnet/reactive https://reactiveui.net/

Perhaps I should've specified that React, as a very popular 'GUI' library, is much more functional than many of the very popular libraries that came before it.

Anyways, my point was not that it's the first of its kind, or 'fully' FP, but rather that it's an example of how FP-style UI libraries can be a good solution, and even be popular because they're less OO in nature.

Apple designs experiences, and your argument (which is a valid one) boils down to your use cases align with Apple's target. Like anything, wireless have pros and cons.

The big pro is that it's fully portable and gives you a freedom of movement that is difficult to match. Most of the cons are associated with poor care (corrosion, stuff jammed in there) or poor quality devices (which is a "con" shared with wireless).

There are real cons as well. Wireless devices are 5x more expensive than a wired device of equivalent quality, is susceptible to a variety of forms of interference, introduces pairing problems particularly as devices age (ie. A 6-10 year capital asset like a 2014 Honda Odyessy may randomly not work with your iPhone Xs), higher latency, unpredictable latency with different endpoints, etc.

The rage issue here is that by taking away the jack, your profoundly reduce the flexibility of the device. The only meaningful benefit is to drive revenue for Apple's secret weapon -- high margin accessories. Those $30 earbuds have a cost that is probably <$3.

Ask HN: How would you queue and process 10K+ long running jobs
Hey guys wanted to ask a question about what technologies & methodologies you would architect together if you needed to constantly be queuing up 10K+ jobs, distributing the work out and then reporting that it was completed. It would be required that you should never be able to schedule a duplicate job when one is queued/running, and you need to ensure that each job only gets picked up by 1 worker and run once. These jobs could last anywhere (in run time) from 30 seconds to 1 hour.

I've tried googling but my fu is failing me. Would love to hear the thoughts from people who have maybe solved similar problems.

Thanks!
