Hey sunshine!

So, you’re saying vsan for horizontal scalability and you regular san for single point of vertical scalability.

Yup, sounds about right!

I’ve only consumed vsan as a dev, and that turned out... not so good.
Scaling performant storage horizontally is a science and no fun to troubleshoot.

Implying you get stuff for free from EMC is just a bad joke, or you have no clue how high the markups are.
It does not matter what the invoice tells you, bottom line counts.
Last time I was involved, admittedly many years ago, the enclosure actually came with a price tag.

I was there when the company I used to work for was first through the gates in emea to san boot their physical x86 boxes. What a ride and very little gain. Costed a fortune tho!

I’ve worked at a hardware/software vendor (499 of the 500) as an architect within professional services which means I have way to much exposure to the madness going on at the 500s.

I’ve built all flash boxes running zfs as well as xfs for specific scalability needs for customers, usually on-prem clouds but other use cases as well.
Commodity hardware. Blazing performance.

If I need proper storage experts I turn to the zfs dev mailing list f ex.

If you could lower your guard for a sec you’ll see that I have no less than two times pointed out that you can build decent infrastructure with precious enterprise gear.
You’ll pay through your nose tho, and personally I’d rather hire 5-10 super generalist FTEs rather than a vendor labeled expert and a bunch of hardware.

I’ll leave you with this oldie but goldie: https://www.backblaze.com/blog/petabytes-on-a-budget-how-to-...

I know: “that’s not SAN”, but the point I’m making is the mark-up. If you are working at a place that allows you to play the lone ranger and blow everyone away with three letter vendor acronyms, good for ya’!

Lone rangers are the biggest blocker for most enterprises from a technical perspective, second only to politics.
This is not a show stopper. If you discharge brine into the sea, you should have to have a plan to dilute and mix brine.

High concentration brine does not automatically mix into the sea water. The underflow goes into the bottom of the sea and forms a separate layer. But you can use nozzle diffusers, mixer etc. and discharge into high currents.

She does not work in the field and is not an expert. She also has an axe to grind, because she barely got tenure after many years in academia.
Sounds like they just need to find a good use case for brine, turn it into some kind of fuel or additive.
Thanks for posting this. This whole thread is fantastic. Perhaps even in the good ol' days people were inwardly just as flawed and nasty as modern times, but the concept of 'manners' and 'etiquette' seems to have become a dying art. Civilised conduct is worth the effort, it would seem to me.

Is a bigger problem in shallow water. At open sea, salt will sink to the next deep water layer with the same density. (Marine organisms are relatively customed to deal with reasonable amounts of salt, the deeper the more customed).

Could be pre-diluted offshore with an unlimited amount of surface sea water available. But if there is more things than salt in the mix, or if we want to just dump it at the sea for saving some dollars, then we are creating a problem.

On the other thing, humanity needs salt, specially in badlands and deserts or in very cold areas. We could just refine, clean and then eat it.
Number stations come to mind.
I understand your fear, but I think you should tell them.

Regarding your colleagues and your fear of (not) finding a job. I understand it, but I think it's a bit short sighted. And if anything, if you do the right thing, these guys can help you find your next job or bring you along with them. If they find out you were hiding this from them, you're burning this bridge and potentially lowering your chances of finding a job.

Just some 2 cents guy-from-the-internet advice. I was never in a similar situation, but lost my job a few times (and it was always for the best, in hindsight).

The only thing I would potentially worry about though is whether you did something illegal by accessing this document... Or if you can get into trouble with your employer. If the plan is to make you redundant, you don't want to give them an even more appealing option to fire you, do you?
If you control the OS and hardware drivers on your device, you can preserve its battery capacity substantially by keeping its state-of-charge around 50% as far as practicable (keeping it from reaching not just "lows" which you should always do, but "highs" as well). We aren't even close to reaching the full amount of battery optimization that's possible on mobile.
And ever forward we do march, the death of personal responsibility.

Read the article, it concerns subscription payments in general as well.
My mom is almost entirely unable to throw things away. As a consequence, my parents have boxes and boxes of all kinds of stuff stored, including some of my toys from 20+ years ago. They live in a rather big house, but it is starting to encroach on their living space, and it does prevent them from using some of their extra rooms for their original intent, such as a dedicated washing room, so they could move the washer/dryer out of their downstairs bathroom.

Every time my dad and I try to bring up the subject of clearing all of that stuff away, she counters with claims like "but that's our winter clothes" or "as soon as I have the time", which never happens.

I've talked to her about why she tends to accumulate stuff like that, and she thinks it's because her family didn't have much when she was growing up, and her mother was a semi-functioning alcoholic. She says they often experienced simply running out of basic things, and couldn't immediately afford to replace it. So she internalized a need to keep everything around, never throw out or give away anything that still works, and always have at least one spare in storage.

They have three refrigerators (for three adults, my sister still lives at home), which are all stuffed full at all times. This leads to ~monthly rituals of cleaning out all the spoiled food, and then filling up the fridges again to repeat the cycle. When questioned on this behavior, my mom argues that they need to keep all the different spreads and stuff around at all times, because you never know what people might want to eat. We try to argue that it's perfectly OK to not have every single food you would possibly like to eat at any time available at all times, but she doesn't seem to want to agree.
The problem is similar to bots in gaming. Banning bots predictably gives the attacker (bot builder) clear success/failure signals for evading detection, then it becomes a detect-vs-evade arms race that the bot builders will likely win.

Detecting and monitoring the bots provides a possibly similar outcome, but t with the advantage that he platform knows the bots. If there are bots with way, the platform would probably prefer the option that allowes them to know who the bots are.

The middle ground is basic auto detection/bans for simple abuse and infrequent ban waves for the rest, where bots are detected and all banned together. This makes it hard for the writers to understand which signals have them away and gives them the disincentive of uncertainty. This is popular in gaming, where bot and cheat farms are detected and studied by they platform for up to several months before bans are handed out.

No, you're really, really not. There is plenty of opportunity for innovation still.

Should basic APIs be considered intellectual property we'd be in for some real trouble as an industry.
Many Chinese people will respond with positive results knowing the survey is held by a foreign agency, not because they are being oppressed, but because they get suspicious and defensive when being asked, and they don't like to see their country "lose face".

Also the majority of Chinese people do think China is on the right path, especially after seeing what's happening now in the US and Europe.

An average Chinese person doesn't think about current oppressive scheme as "bad", because we've had worse no more than 2 generations ago. They may even think an authoritative regime is better than your democracy. Normally they don't feel oppressed in their daily life.

The well educated, and those who have the privilege, opportunity, and capability to talk to a foreigner like you, have different opinions of course.
Sewage contains other volatile products that would evaporate and condense along with water. Cleaning sewage water for use in drinking is probably much, much harder than doing it with just sea water.
From the link it does not look like anything changed.

There will be more communication from the vendor to the buyer. That's all.
From personal experience: using WebSockets for realtime communication with a microcontroller works really well. I've put together a number of products using ESP8266 to do this and serving out the HTML/JS from an embedded web server. Works particularly well for streaming out the state of sensors on the device.

The main issue I had was that only HTTP was well supported on the Arduino/ESP8266 platform and as we all know that's fallen out of favour. Unfortunately, it also limits what you can do on resource constrained microcontrollers. Having HTTPS in this library opens up the ability to build an SPA which was something I'd always wanted to do.

I don't see any mention of ESP8266 on their site but hopefully, as probably the most widely available IP enabled microcontroller, it will be supported too. Time to do some more digging into getting it running.

edit: I obviously didn't look closely enough - there's recently been added support for ESP8266 - happy days!

I got a notification today that my domain has been included in this collection.

But as far as I can see it is gibberish spam-mails. I see 500+ entries such as:

fkdsjlfjldsf@example.com
spamkdsjf31@example.com
fsdjlfsdjkl@example.com

i.e. None of these emails at my domain are real, nor have they ever been real.

That said if you allow password-based authentication on a server which is shared you might consider using my PAM module:

https://github.com/skx/pam_pwnd

It does lookups of previously-leaked passwords. Best practice these days is SSH-keys for authentication, but this would cover weak sudo passwords too, etc.

Or they've actually used Jenkins (or any of these other suggested alternatives). I've used Jenkins personally and professionally.

Most recently I've been rebuilding my own CI stack and never really gave much thought to going back to Jenkins. So I've been asking around and one of the only common complaints I've heard so far is that getting the initial configuration done is painful and generally orthogonal to automation. Plus the documentation is atrocious.

No off-the-shelf product will be a perfect fit, but with CI software I was truly surprised at just how large the gaps were.

So, sure, if you're Dropbox and you want to automate everything Jenkins is almost certainly not the right tool for the job. If Dropbox already had a supported, mature in-house job queue system, why not use it?

Conversely at megacorp, they spent 4+ years claiming to work on deploying a Jenkins (CloudBees) cluster and still came up with bupkis. Our own internal job and message queuing systems were astoundingly bad (and support for internal tools was almost entirely forbidden).

At megacorp I absolutely decried any sort of home grown solution. But if Dropbox were to actually tackle the problems of internal testing and support and come up with mature solutions, why shouldn't they use them?

The main benefits of CERN go well beyond the actual science that is done and building such a collider trains thousands of people in all kinds of skills that are very valuable in the real economy. It generates truly big data as well, so analyzing and handling that data trains yet another set of thousands of people. Most of them eventually quit particle physics and are then hired at SAP, Google, BMW (real examples I know of).

He's running a (very) lean startup! But it is not fake since you actually can run containers there.

Right; but you have to implement it yourself, and you'll know the limitations (e.g. it'll probably be expensive to notify on changes to complex queries and/or on many queries).
> In general, you may do better to advertise your stuff to the people who aren't already interested.

If true, that would be easy for an ad network to detect. If the click through rate for ads on a topic not matching the users interests (as determined be browsing history) are higher, then your theory is correct.

It's basic stuff, and I'm sure they already do that.
Thank you!

My issue is that people vote based on the fact that they become convinced by other parties instead of developing their own opinions by trying to understand the ramifications of a law. Not saying this is right or wrong, laws are written in a non friendly way so it is not easily understandable by most but I wish more people tried to do the research themselves.

Ask HN: Do you know how Crystal guesses your personality?
I was shown https://www.crystalknows.com recently, with a few examples of personalities they've analyzed. I've seen my profile and while not accurate and a little vague, it may not be far from the truth either.

1 - Has anyone info about them and how they get information? It seems that they are getting data from Linkedin, but that can't be their only source. They must use navigation habits or even email contents.

2 - This seems to me another step up in privacy invasion. What would be a good way to ensure they can't have any data on me, and also ensure that the companies they source from don't either?

3 - How can we finally make those activities illegal?
Well, the EU government isn't really "unelected". It's just indirectly elected. Before 1913, for example, US state legislatures elected their state's senators. As I understand it, the original goal was to insulate senators somewhat from populist influence.

But yes, I get that this was a concern for Brexit supporters. I'm just arguing that Russia exploited it.
Man, you have great banks over there (and I never thought I'd say this about US banks).

Marie Kondo – does tidiness really equal a clean mind?
Seattle is in the midst of one of America’s largest transit expansions, to spend $50B+ in 40 years. Pretty much all cities are aggressively zoning around their light rail stations; for example. The suburb of Lynwood has zoning allowing up to 350 feet in height around their stop.

The problem is that these things take time, mostly because this isn’t China and Seattle doesn’t have hundreds of billions in Treasuries to do what it wants, nor is it willing to conspire using shady financial vehicles like Chinese local governments.
True. That is a different type of complexity, though.

While the digits in Pi appear like white noise, fractals have a very distinct sense of orderliness, but with infinite detail. The latter tends to be more fascinating for most people.

Technically, the first is called disorganized complexity and the second organized complexity.
Perhaps not an opinion shared by everyone, but even Khrushchyovkas would be better than a housing crisis. Affordable housing is a basic need. Building these in scale would lead to a lot of other problems, but if a city is otherwise incapable to accommodate people, then the city gets those other problems.

Hitachi scraps £16bn nuclear power station in Wales
I'm doing it in a really weird way, and I'm probably alone in this setup:

1. Various IDEs on my Windows machine writing PHP & HTML/CSS.

2. Saving all files over Samba to a Debian Web Server running Apache.

3. Once the code is complete and signed off, it's migrated to a production server.

4. Have a global error hook via 'set_error_handler' in each PHP file that 'echos' out the problem into the Browser. This doesn't help me with syntax errors though.

I'm fairly new to PHP development (Previously .NET dev), so I'm probably doing many things wrong here, and I'm totally open to suggestions, however I DO have to stick with Windows as my dev machine.
This depends on local context. For example, in Singapore civil service has much higher prestige and merit based pay, thus the Singaporean government is one of the most effective in the world.
