We skipper maintainers don't want to really comment on that, because it is very likely that if you do your own benchmarks you show only the good parts and not the bad parts.

From our benchmarks we can outperform nginx in the pure routing case, while nginx will outperform skipper in the pure sendfile case. HAproxy we did not tested, but I would bet it will be not different from the nginx case. IMO: in general use skipper as microservice router and nginx as streaming router that serves a lot of pictures or videos.

Feature wise we have a lot of things to add as HTTP router that you want to run in front of your microservices, please also see our docs: https://opensource.zalando.com/skipper/
Additionally we build a lot of Kubernetes integrations,for example https://github.com/zalando-incubator/stackset-controller which reduces boilerplate and enables you to do automated blue-green deployments and https://github.com/zalando-incubator/kube-metrics-adapter which enables you to do HPAs with custom metrics, for example hpa based on skipper route request per second.
I would partially agree with you except they made the SE and people didn't vote with their dollars. It was only 10% of iPhone sales. I agree that it would be nice to have more lower and mid range options but most people seem to want the new shiny.
How Technology Can Fight Technology and Make Organizations More Human Again
Netflix is GDPR compliant although that almost definitely violates the first amendment. To operate in foreign countries you have to abide by their rules.

I'm much more concerned by Twitter, Facebook, Patreon, et al censoring Americans.
Traditionally giving the individual soldier a giggle switch (aka full auto) has been a wash offensively but a great asset in defensive situations at the expense of burning through a lot more ammo (better to have spent brass than dead bodies though so it's worth it). I don't see what's changed in the last ~70yr that would change that.

As a complete anecdote - I remember when my parents told me when I was very little that eating rotten/mouldy food could get you seriously ill, I think I even asked if you could die from it - to which they said that yes, you could.

And after that, I had a complete phobia of everything that seemed even slightly off. I became incredibly picky, because that one spot on the slice of cheese could be mould or because the ham smelled not how my 8 year old brain thought it should smell like.

No spanking involved, but the psychological damage was much greater I think.

A quick tip used by the first VC (George Doriot) was to ask people what would they do with $1b for example. This is a good way to know your natural north. If you don’t know that then I guess try to know the people you enjoy / admire. Also a last good motivation is to read Seneca on the shortness of life : https://archive.org/stream/SenecaOnTheShortnessOfLife/Seneca...
Few things ever cease to exist entirely. There's a hobbiest still running every flavor of VAX out there; still practicing practitioners of all sorts of weird cults. Real is no longer a software company nor can you realistically (no pun intended) use any of it's products. It has ceased to exist in all senses but historical, and the patent troll firm still bearing it's name should be seen as antiquated.

On the other hand, there's probably someone there who believes that they're still fighting the good fight against someone who cheated them, and they might be right. We've gotten so used to cheaters as a society that we really can't tell what's real achievement and what's fraud.
The Galaxy S4 had a temperature sensor. Believe me: It was very unreliable since the phone has a different temperature than the room.

Well, it against the (Saudi) law, so Netflix can't show it in Saudi Arabia. I hope they draw a line in the sand when it comes to other countries, i.e., remove the episode worldwide, but I think for individual countries the battle is lost.

Even Germany has laws curtailing what we, in USA call "Free speech" (for obvious reasons they are sensitive about Nazi propaganda.) In USA you can say virtually all things, but you'll lose your job or sponsors, er...your paycheck. So censorship is done by private entities.
A No-BS Guide to the Blockchain as a Service Space Part I
I am not a language designer myself, but I think "avoid overwhelming" was an explicit idea behind initial design of Dart. Yes, this led to a language that some might consider boring, but it also led to a language that a lot of people can easily pick up and use (with little surprise and reasonable amount of fun).

There are few things that I would like to have in Dart (ADT and pattern matching for example), but otherwise I actually think its a fun language to program in.

> And the worst part is what i feel was the first environment outside erlang to get real actor-like concurrency is now barely mentionning actors in its documentation.

Dart went through a lot of turmoil in the past few years, but now that this turmoil is over we hope to explore concurrency story again.

Dartino (which was a dialect of Dart targeting IOT devices) had really fun concurrency story centered around lean isolates, coroutines and fast message passing based on deeply immutable data and we think there might be something here that we could incorporate into Dart proper.
From the few known examples, self-propelled ammunition accelerating outside the barrel means it's relatively slow when leaving the barrel, which both makes it less effective at short ranges and causes accuracy issues.

Caseless ammunition is maybe a closer thing, but also tricky (heat dissipation is harder, difficulties in making ammunition robust enough). H&K made a military variant once, but no military adopted it (Germany almost did, but with the end of the cold war it wasn't considered worth the cost)

Even adopting improved versions of existing systems is a big process for militaries, switching to something entirely new for something as fundamental as the standard rifles needs to have really big and obvious benefits to be considered.
What do you mean "finally"? It's been about to become a reality for decades!
I was talking to an actor friend yesterday, one of the things he said was that if you think about story narrative in terms of compressing human experience, romance stories have the highest 'ratio'. You can unpack an mind-boggling amount of information from even the most trivial and silly onscreen romance. Every glance, every change in tone of voice, conveys meaning.

After hearing that, I can now see why they get added to every single movie.
why can’t we have both? why can’t we use our companies to spread proper values? isn’t this the same backlash of google going into china? would netflix also help MBS chop up journalists or oppress women?

>will_brown is saying he things UPenn doctors have more authority.

Not at all. I am saying UPenn doctors examined and treated the patients. Not mentioned at all is a UM doctor also went to Cuba and treated the patients. All ruled out psychosomatic mass hysteria.

Then an HN poster called that diagnosis/published study flawed and linked an article with a neurologist quoted as saying the UPenn diagnosis is wrong and it is psychosomatic mass hysteria.

My point has nothing to do with authority, I just don’t understand how anyone can dismiss the group(s) that actually examined and treated the patients based on some quotes from a neurologist in a newspaper article that diagnosis the patients without having examined/treated them.

I’ll admit in this context authority is important, but Both sides have authorities, and its those people aiding with the neurologist that are appealing to authority, because what other reason is there to side with the one doctor who hasn’t seen the patients, while all treating physicians ruled out the mass hysteria diagnosis?
A great story which really resonated with me from the operations / reliability engineering perspective. It is very common for junior engineers to jump into an action in case of a big outage before really trying to
understand the problem.

One example I've seen multiple times was to deal with a repeatedly crashing process by restarting yet another process. In some cases, this may help, but in others it can make the situation much much worse. Instead, the advice I took to heart is to delay action until you have a mental model of the problem, and how the planned action would resolve it (and if possible, sense check it with another engineer).

In the best case scenario, you would have a trusted (well-tested) mitigation procedure that would provide you with enough time to recreate the issue and test the proposed solution in a staging environment.

Be aware that the clothing isn't made of bamboo fibres in the way someone would expect, especially based on how it's advertised.

It is real easy. When they want to limit your product with censorship and other evil things, do not do business there. Perhaps they will come around when their people starts screaming for these kind of services.

If all companies just adhere to their rules, well the population will probably never require the change that they should because it will be good enough so the dangerous path of complaining is not worth it.
Because there are no "proper values", there are "your values".

I thought the whole rationale of the de-platforming movement was that free speech doesn't apply to private companies and institutions, they are free to host whatever content they want and have whatever political bias they want. If that is the case why shouldn't it apply to Netflix too?
Nuclear plants are uninsurable. No insurance company will touch them. Fusion is an impossible dream and completely pointless.

The dirty secret of the industry is that we need nuclear plants in order to make nuclear bombs. It's where we get the enriched plutonium to blow things up. They never mention that, do they? The entire industry is an offshoot of Eisenhower's "Atoms for Peace" mandate. The world was so horrified by Hiroshima that we had to make up peacetime uses of radioactivity in order to keep rational people from stopping the entire experiment. Fusion is just the latest of these.

There is this observation that British and American singers sound much alike when they sing. They lose most of their accent, and they just sing in "neutral English". And that neutral English is much closer to American than British. So I'm inclined to think that the British just have more of an accent than Americans. The British accent contains more intonations, which one cannot use when the intonations are dictated by the music.

My point is that Rebol and Red are extremely good chameleons - they hide all their power behind the approachable facade, and make a false impression of "oh it's just X, nothing serious". I saw a fair share of people who, based on that first impression, dismiss Red as a quirky alternative to Python, or a GUI-building kit, or a pretentious academical toy, you name it.

But that doesn't mean that these languages child-safe by default, and indeed, foot-shooting starts as soon as you begin to harness that power - that's where the real fun is, which IMO kids can't appreciate fully. As you said, it's anything but a finger paint.

But if it clicks in kid's brain from the get-go and grows over him, then the world is ought to see some great paintings ;)
- www -> it's a PHP convention. I put all my repos here and it gets cluttered. I cache it in a subfolder if it's not in use

- downloads -> when I am not sure of where things should go. It gets messy here, I usually cache it in a subfolder by date range if not in use

- dropbox/pdfs/x -> PDFs of everything

- dropbox/photos -> organized by YYYY-MM folders. These are the original files cut-pasted from my phone with original metadata on it. I use googlephotos

- dropbox/software -> backups of different software configs

- dropbox/social -> a few set of images I reuse for portfolios / logos etc

- dropbox/sharex -> I usually have all my screenshots placed in a specific folder by default

------------------------------------------------------------------

I organize work files by department.

- Operations - Common docs needed across entire company - catalogs, fill-out-forms, leasing, guidelines, SOPs, etc

- Management - Accounting, credit references, w9 forms, HR, etc

- Images - Asset images only, of products /events/ services etc done. These are organized by major category

- Vendors - These are PDF/excel/word doc files from vendors, sorted alphanumerically by vendor name

- IT -> all IT related files here, backups of databases, data, spreadsheets, etc

- Outsource -> When I need to send a dropbox folder worth of contents to a developer, these are requirement / spec docs

No they don't, everything is already in place. In a few years the industry will catch up to Tesla and we'll see further price decreases across the board and mass EV adoption using current tech.

The battery will have to be reinvented for large planes to become electric, but that's a different discussion. Small planes will be able to ride off the EV battery tech to start the electrification of that whole industry.
See what I mean? Someone down voted this post which is entirely factual.

Every plant has leaks and safety violations. They're all publicly documented. The uneconomic nature of the industry stems from the attempts to make something safe which is inherently unsafe. Why would someone downvote those facts unless they were trolling?
Free speech is a Western value.

Tying to impose it on the rest of the world is yet another colonization.

True diversity is allowing other cultures to live by different values.
That math is a bit funny. Rent is pure consumption while mortgage is consumption plus equity accumulation. Of course, owners have less left for investment, but they are already investing a significant part of their mortgage payment. With 15 years left on the mortgage at a 4% interest rate, about 60% of your payment goes to principal and only 40% to interest.

And since most people prefer the flexibility of rent to the headaches of ownership, rents tend to be significantly higher than the non-equity part of the mortgage, so ownership is a more efficient way to invest and live at the same time, precisely at the cost of that flexibility of consumption.
Yes I’m the abstract and conclusion UPenn clearly acknowledges the medical history of the patients. None of them had any history of head/brain injury.

I’d like to see you cite anything from the study that states the doctors made that statement without reviewing the patients medical histories. Or anything at all from the study suggesting UPenn had no access to the patients medical histories.

Ask HN: Would you be interested in a Voting-Ring-Detection-As-A-Service
I've been thinking up a lot of ideas of late, which involve some sort of community voting. As always, the problem with voting is voting rings.

I had the thought that if I could come up with so many ideas which would require a voting ring detector, maybe others would as well, and that got me thinking of building one out as a service.

This post is targeted at people who would need something like that, as well as people who manage any community of any sort. Do you think this is something that would be useful, and would you pay for it?

Seems like partially a Dennis Whyte puff piece.

The problem all tokomaks have is that ELMs exist and will remove the inner lining of the containment unit over time, and current cutting edge research is on how a plasma will react with specific impurities and their distribution within said plasma. A major problem is lack of true experimental evidence, as most fusion experiments are crude approximations of reality and then subsequent closed source, poorly documented, or guess-the-fellow-researchers code is at play.

This passage really resonated with me. I fall into the same cognitive trap as that kid on a fairly regular basis. It happened between me and my parents until well after I left home, and it still happens between me and my wife and close friends. I've been aware of it for a while but have never seen it so clearly articulated. This has motivated me to redouble my efforts to take a more mature approach internally.
