Yes, the project is successful, as successful as an open source project can be. It seems to work fine since 1992.

Why would you bring up my personal well being ? Does a decentralised process (whatever that means actually, it's not defined at all yet) take my personal well being in to consideration???

In fairness, this isn't an ironclad guarantee. I have written tests that misled me. That was educational.

These days I do some quick mutations of the test and the code I wrote before moving on. My anecdata is that it catches errors in my tests maybe 5% of the time.

This is the right question.

A few years ago I worked for a wind turbine company (Admittingly a crappy one) and I was one of two software engineers,

My first job was to analyse all of the data about 300 turbines were sending back home, and build a dashboard.

Well a few weeks later after checking all of the data, it turns out that the entire fleet of turbines actually consumed slightly more energy than they produced.

This was because of many manufacturing problems meant there were several frequencies that the turbine couldn’t spin at because it would generate a resonance and shatter or break something. So the system was frequently applying the break to stop the turbine destroying itself.

After several days of head scratching and double-checking and triple-checking the data, I went to the mechanical engineers and they finally sheepishly admitted they knew these things were net energy consumers rather than producers.

This doesn’t even take into account the energy budget of cost of production and distribution.

This isn’t the case for the big turbines you see out in the field, I’m really just reenforcing the parent comments point that total energy needs to be considered.

Ask HN: Easiest User proximity based routing for apps
How do you deploy an app in multiple regions and ensure that the region nearest to region gets the traffic.

One way to do it with Route53 Latency based routine or geo based routing other is GCP Load balancer.

But is there another way to deploy an app in multiple regions?

So far all the systems I've seen involve deploying app in regions manually then using either DNS based or Load Balancer with Anycast IP.

Something as simple as:

```deploy app=hello_world regions=all scaling=auto```

Making big decisions over the next 1 month as I have 3 major projects. My (already popular) website, this dishwasher, and my finance app.

Did mention this thread to my co-engineer, I'm pretty sure he is going to make this a reality.

The biggest question regarding the dishwasher is-

Do we go luxury and expensive since plumbing is already a multi thousand dollar requirement? Or, should we go commodity, and have users attach to their kitchen sink(portable dishwasher style)?

How much would you pay for the dishwasher, table, chairs, electrical and plumbing? (full service)

On the topic of the mouse, I suspect you (along with nearly everybody else I know) is used to Windows-style tracking. Me, I'm used to macOS-style acceleration, so using mouses on other machines always feels inaccurate to me.

But back to the topic, it is rather interesting how hard trackpads are to replicate on other systems with the same level of quality as Apple's own trackpads under macOS. I suspect that's why one of the recent Windows 10 updates brought in consistent APIs for trackpads and multi-touch gestures.

If Microsoft are only just getting around to it now, I've my doubts there'd be any consistency on the matter over in Linux land. Not so much for lack of trying, but in a land of multiple desktop environments each with their own ways of doing things, the uncertainty of whether we keep improving X or focus everything on Wayland … well, I doubt the using the Magic Trackpad 2 under Linux would be all too pleasant.

Linus may have the final say on a lot of things, particularly regarding policy surrounding contributions, but "unchecked" isn't so much an overstatement so much as a joke. Vast numbers of contributors, security auditors, and generally-interested hackers keep close eyes on the Linux kernel.

> Why grid-column start include the value and grid column end exclude it

All CSS grid properties are defined in terms of grid "lines", not cells. If you have a grid of 2x2 cells, there are actually 3 vertical lines and 3 horizontal lines:

1 2 3
1 ┌─┬─┐
2 ├─┼─┤
3 └─┴─┘

"grid-column-start: x" means "this area starts the x vertical line"

"grid-column-end: y" means "this area ends at the y vertical line"

As you can see, there is no possible ambiguity here on whether you mean "inclusive" or "exclusive" like there would be if you referred to cells (which is why you had this question). That's the reason they chose to go with the "lines" model.

> In fact where there is a ressource for understanding css logic on the internet?

Usually each CSS spec has a rationale and some introduction to the "why" and the "thinking model" of the spec. For CSS grid you may look at [1].

Not 100% related to the article but koa with its maybe 300 LoC is hardly a dependency. However in general nodejs projects definitely suffer from dependency bloat. I encourage anybody to try for themselves to go through node_modules in their own projects, it’s quite englightning to see the scale of the unnecessary, duplicated, reimplementated in different ways crap there. Conscious aim at shallow, minimal or no dependency in packages and end apps is definitely something good; less than 5s installs, code audits, more healthy projects in general. I’m not saying it’s always possible or better to trim the code fat, but if you’re aware of dependency tree single root dep introduces you’re usually able to cut it down a lot.

>You think it's cool and by the time you realise it's not,

Which is why vaping is so dangerous. If you can think of a flavor, it's available. No flavor, cigar, blueberry pie, chocolate brownies, etc. More flavors than a shaved ice stand. Unlike cigarettes where you have "nauseating burnt paper" and "menthol nauseating burnt paper".
I eventually got them to cooperate. Your solution would have been ok, but only if one was still willing as I’d have to book one east->west round trip and fly only the first leg and the other west->east (starting after the interview) and fly the first leg of that, because the airline is able to cancel all your remaining legs once you miss a leg.

It seems that might be harder than just telling one of them that I’ll already be in the area on such and such date.

I do not failed to notice the commercial and political push toward battery-based EVs, I do not notice that they can be sustained in the mean and long run.

We can't produce and dispose enough battery to electrify our personal vehicle only at country-scale, we can't produce and distribute enough energy to charge them.

Consider that at a certain scale we can do tons of things, but only at a certain, limited, scale. In Germany hydraulic-propellers for trains are still fairly common, they are super-duper complex to design and maintain but they was pushed as a flag of excellent German industry decades ago and they have them even if are monsters and does not really scale nor offer any practical advantage. In the '60s Italian Ansaldo have designed and build electric planes with electricity generator inside the fuselage, they fly well but they can move around half the load of the correspondent classic-design plane and they cost more, another Italian industry, Fiat, have built personal cars with a jet-mini-turbine engine as a power generator + electric motors, they works however they are so noisy, they eject too much heat, they consume so much fuel that they simply drop it.

The fact that we can do something it does not means automatically that it's a good things to do nor that can scale. We can save enormous resources and improve our lives building energy-efficient houses so it's a good move, we can't for now produce electric vehicles so we have to research (a forgotten thing in managerial-era) but not try to push something we know can't scale.
Can't agree more with your GCP vs AWS mention. I have deployed my share of models on both platforms and GCP, with Cloud ML is much much easier esp. with Tensorflow. That said, hoping that 2019 makes it even easier as its still too complex for my taste.

>As a former smoker and vaper I find Juul and the whole e-cig business wicked. I stopped smoking and started vaping in 2012 and years later I realized I replaced a nasty habit with what was basically a hobby.

I wasn't a smoker at all, aside from on occasional pipe or cigar. Around the same time I got into it too, there were very few mods back then but you had companies like "Ms. T's Bakery" that had tons of dessert type flavors.

I'd sit there with my ego with a drip tip, puff, puff, puffing away at my desk mindlessly while I gamed. I'd puff, puff, puff away with friends. I started taking it to work and ducking into the bathroom to puff some brownies or blueberry soda.

One day I was playing an FPS and realized I didn't feel good at all, I'd had about 40$ of juice in maybe 6 hours, I had nicotine poisoning because I just wanted to keep tasting the flavors.

The few people that vape at work, all of them have super-fruity juices, I have to imagine that the flavor is some of what keeps them at it. I have a friend that is unemployed, trying to get disability, but he has probably 300$ in his vaping rig and the first thing he does when he gets some money from something it goes and gets more juice. Before food, before his precious mountain dew, before anything else he runs off to go fill his tanks. Always flavors.

You're making a lot of different claims here. You may be right about insurance etc, although the rent will be lower too... but I think there are much simpler explanations for why some things are more expensive in the shops in poorer neighbourhoods.

Staff are a big expense anywhere, and if they spend their time on $10 purchases instead of $100 purchases, then the margins have to be higher. That's basically why Costco is cheaper than 7/11. Isn't this just the same thing?
Hopefully this is 'on topic', but I wanted to shout out Ubuntu Server.

Ubuntu Server is the greatest thing ever, listing why-

1. I have never had a problem with Ubuntu Server

2. It is free

It hit all the quality metrics and it is free? That is division by 0, infinity quality per dollar.

Updates to Ubuntu never broke my server either.

In contrast, Ubuntu Desktop is not good IMO.

Instead of ending on a bad note, I dream of a world where things can be like Ubuntu Server. Where the lowest income people have the same opportunity as the wealthy in access.

Maybe its bad capitalism, but Ubuntu Server and Wikipedia are my role models.
"OrbitDB currently supports only write-access and the keys of the writers need to be known when creating a database. That is, the access rights can't be changed after a database has been created. In the future we'll support read access control and dynamic access control in a way that access rights can be added and removed to a database at any point in time without changing the database address. At the moment, if access rights need to be changed, the address of the database will change."

That sounds like data is either private, or world read-writable.

Ed: but I take it, data is World-readable in general? So private data would need encryption?
