I was a breaker all throughout highschool, and I loved it. I felt a strong sense of community I hadn't felt anywhere. Someone new could come in, willing to learn, and pretty much just get accepted to the group. My group of friends from that time were by far the most diverse (Chinese, Phillipino, Black, Australian, Native American, Mexican). And I'm from Utah-- Not a place known for diversity.

We all knew each other's skills, but we still respected each other. It was a pretty interesting dynamic. I love hip-hop culture, and, like the Dr., think violence has no place in it. Ahhh, the good ol' days.

Most enterprise IT is change management. Migrating that database cluster takes 3-4 man hours. Planning the migration might take a half dozen meetings, vendor calls, dry runs, calculating transfer duration, etc. Enterprise IT isn't going anywhere. The cost of doing it right 100 times is greatly outweighed by the potential loss in doing it wrong once.

People who are already on the cloud aren't going to ditch their service providers so they can take time away from their actual business to manage something they don't understand to save a few hundred dollars a quarter.

Finally, programming hasn't changed substantially in the last 15 years for most people. I know that might sound shocking to people on HN, but most developers are working in dingy cubicles on archaic systems without continuous integration or release management. They're deploying to production and then jiggling the handle until things work. The systems they produce are just good enough to keep other business units crunching along, and their saving grace is two-fold: they don't cost enough to warrant real scrutiny, and the potential utility of an efficient IT department is non-obvious to most business managers.

>it will be able to process as many as 10,000 transactions per second, which far surpasses Visa’s capability to process around 1,700.

According to Visa

VisaNet handles an average of 150 million transactions every day and is capable of handling more than 24,000 transactions per second.

This is kind of cynical I think. Lots of people donate to charity with nothing in return. Personally I donate 5% of post tax income to charity and I've never gotten a thing out of it other than a thank you email from the charities.

People might think, "oh, you just do it for the Good Person Status Points it gives you when you mention it", or that, "you just do it to make yourself feel good". The second one may be partially true, but the first one I don't care about at all and I highly doubt anyone has ever cared or even remembered, though I do like to mention it to encourage others to give.

I really just think I was blessed to be born with this brain and in this certain predicament where I have extra money, and I should be giving some of that back to the less fortunate, on principle.

Yes, the web front-end is perceived as low-effort entrance to the software development fields. Purely commercial bootcamps, people from unrelated fields, people without a clue about networks and browsers, people hanging on anything which will allow them to land a job - it makes it trivial for Google and Facebook to basically take an absolute control over the web with their technologies, solutions, and stacks.
Cryptocurrency's reputation being what it is, they will hopefully come up with a descriptor that is less similar to "shady."
If you are that distrusting, then do the SHA1 conversion yourself. It isn't that complicated:

sha1=$(echo -n 'happy123' | tr -d '\n' | openssl sha1)
result=$(curl https://api.pwnedpasswords.com/range/${sha1:0:5}
2>/dev/null | grep $(echo ${sha1:5:35} | tr '[:lower:]' '[:upper:]'))
echo "Count: ${result#*:}"

With that, I can see that the password 'happy123' has been "pwn'd" 70,617 times.

"hope it will be able to process as many as 10,000 transactions per second, which far surpasses Visa’s capability to process around 1,700"

I think somebody got bad info about VISA's capabilities. 1700/tps is probably their average tps over a day...solely based on needs/demands...not what it could do. Not the peak, and not the edge of their performance envelope. It's likely they can already handle much more than the proposed 10k/sec of this sharded block chain.

Edit: Yep...pretty sure someone started with "Visa does roughly 150M transactions a day"[1] then did 150,000,000 / 24 / 60 / 60 = ~ 1736

I started using DDG as my default search engine about 6 months ago, and for 95% of the searches I do it's totally fine.

I don't know why people think that DDG needs to "stop" Google; did people think that Lycos and Infoseek and Yahoo couldn't coexist back in the 90's? I think it's good that both companies have some competition from each other.
Sure. Perhaps we generalize them both and say that:

Modern capitalism exploits (perverts?) natural human behavior and can lead to maladaptive behavior in our current environment.
> Why must everything be a "company" killer?

I wonder if it's the fact that...

1. ...the current idea of superiority is absolute domination on the market (see: monopoly),

2. ...the age we live in promotes being only the BEST and the most AWESOME, without ever giving chance to the average and the mildly-good, which may not shine as brightly but does its job well,

3. ...there's unduly competition on the market – not just your healthy capitalist "We sell better 'cause we make better products, so step aside", but something more antagonistic on a more... personal? level,

or all of it, to some degree.

I could be biased on number three, given that I'm quite sensitive to antagonism in general. It does seem to me that, while there's no malvertisement (no one's saying "My competitors are shit, we're light-years ahead"), everyone seems to try and trump others in spirit.

Nah, probably not.

No, authoritative servers are simply required to follow standards, EDNS support is not required, none of this is about any sort of forced migration, it is only about discontinuing support for broken software after 20 years of compatibility hacks.

The EDNS fallback method does not require a timeout. A standards-compliant DNS server that does not support EDNS should ignore EDNS records in the request and simply send an old-style response that any EDNS capable resolver is still required to handle correctly. The problem is only with servers that simply don't respond to requests containing EDNS records at all, even though they are required to by the (old, pre-EDNS) standard.

You could use this as an opportunity to show you are capable to handle anything that is thrown at you. This is a highly valuable skill, way more valuable than your current tech stack. For you personally and the company hiring you.

After you have proven your value then talk to your boss. If things don't change, move on. Surely you'll find something better.

If you like that, I would also read Chapter 1 of Bernstein's Four Pillars of Investing. Bernstein's books are all more or less re-writes of the same book multiple times in an attempt to make the Bogle/indexing idea approachable for different audiences. In addition to If You Can, Chapter 1 of Four Pillars is a history of securities returns and is the best thing I've ever read in terms of getting into the right head-space for long-term investing and thinking about risk.

The rest of the book is good, too, but you can just read If You Can instead.
As an app developer, I feel it’s basically impossible to succeed on the App Store without a high production value app that Apple will feature. For most app developers, it’s hard to switch to web development - the skill set is too different. So I’m kind of stuck with apps for now.
Oh, yeah, that feature's existed for years; it's called "user-defined type guards".

Those sorts of issues can be very different depending on the specific market. In some places, the biggest issue for affordable housing is just getting more stock built within the right price bracket.

Eg, a city might have plenty of large detached houses, and expensive high-rise residential buildings but not enough of the more affordable type of buildings like "low rise" developments of 60-100sqm flats.

For analogy, imagine a world with plenty of iphones, but not enough cheap androids. A €200 phone is a decent phone, affordable and €200 is a viable price for the OEM. Subsidies aren't required. For phones, these market conditions guarantee that the supply will be sufficient. In real estate, they don't.

Markets like this will tend to show really price/sqm at the lower end, relative to the higher. Eg a fancy, 250sqm house costs just 2x of an old 65sqm flat even though land and building costs are the same per sqm.

I help strangers whenever I can by giving them free things and not expecting anything in return (or even to ever see them again). I've often wondered if I'm being selfish by satiating my altruistic tendencies. I.e., am I doing it for them, or me? I've often also wondered, is it really free to them, or is the "cost" their independence, ambition, and/or sense of accomplishment? Regardless of the answer to either question, I doubt I'll ever stop.

Why not use Nginx or Node.js alongside ArangoDB? The problem with integrating a full web server is that you don't want the database to wait until some external request carried out by the web server finishes (no blocking).

If there was an integrated web server, but fully decoupled to not block the database, then there would probably be no real benefit over running a separate web server on the side.
I'm not sure why this is flagged as a dupe. The previous post announced the launch of the service. This post is a review of the service.

You seem to be arguing that you've started a trial because you're genuinely interested, you're aware enough of the trial to remove your billing information, yet stopping the service when you do so is unfair because you might forget and then be billed for a service you're not using. If you're not using it, why is it a problem for you to have the service stopped when you remove the billing information?
I grew up in a sleepy coastal SoCal town where it wasn't too expensive. I have the best memories of that time, but they're gone. The house I grew up in was $73K when my folks bought it, now it's over $1M because it's 2 miles from the ocean. As much as I'd love to move back to the area, there's no way for me to financially. And the place has changed as well.

Those are test name, not version.
The test is detailed in the test report, you just need to read all the text..
The best explanation I can provide is one that won't provide you much immediate info or relief. You and your partner would want to see a psychologist or PsyD, preferably with both a clinical and diagnostic background for counseling. At some point if your partner is NPD you're going to be made aware of it. Everything until that point will have been the easy part.
This likely means that your DNS server IP is actually a load-balanced pool of servers, with some running compliant software and others not. If you see any errors when running the test repeatedly, I’d check with your DNS provider, and share the test results.
Europe does. ;)
More than that: DNS servers made special exceptions for servers that do not implement DNS properly and ignore some requests entirely. They're now stopping that: servers either have to support a 20-year old extension spec to DNS, or follow the original, 30+ year old specs and answer the query while ignoring the extension.
Two points: first, even if "solid" universities are right to run away from this (and IMO they don't run away from it, they just move the IT program into the business school where you don't see it any more) there are still many other universities pumping out students into a dead career field, which should be concerning. Second, this is not just about IT programs. Computer science programs are impacted to. From the OP:

> But instead of five backend developers and three ops people and a DBA to keep the lights on for your line-of-business app, now you maybe need two people total.

All nine of those people would probably have been CS graduates, or at least many of the backend developers would be (and perhaps the DBA). Or they would be people that thought of themselves as "developers" and not "IT" for whatever that distinction is worth now.
I did mention that option. It is funny how some people are upset that agents might want to force the price up, and others that they might want to force the price down. Agents have a fiduciary relationship. They must look out for their client's best interests by law. Some are not great, some are not honest. But that is the same for any field.

In my experience most are honest and hard working, but the few with less scruples tend to be the highest volume agents. If someone were looking for an agent, if I knew nothing about anyone involved, I would recommend to start looking with agents with a number of years of experience but just average sales. A large reason for their average sales might just be integrity. Newer agents can be great as well because they will work three times as hard, but they are newer for better and for worse.
And removing the service when they remove the intent to continue can be a protective measure against people signing up repeatedly to your free trial but never having any intention of ever paying you any money. Why is that unreasonable, if it's also clearly part of the offer being made?

> They could make the battery stop working earlier and limit them from being filled, but this is going to limit a lot of one time use cases when the trade off is worthwhile.

Which brings me back to my original question: how does one treat a battery poorly? Or perhaps more accurately, how would people treat batteries they rent more poorly than ones they own?

In a world where consumers were highly cognizant of maintaining battery health, and only fully drained/charged their batteries when absolutely essential, I can see how rented batteries would be a problem. In practice, I doubt many consumers actually think about this, if they're even aware of it to begin with.

Ergo, I don't forsee rented batteries dying significantly sooner than owned batteries, because most consumers aren't going to change their behavior.
Exactly- even if you want to diverge completely, it still seems like you're better off with that enormous head start.

I am qualified enough for that but if you don't believe me then you are more than welcome to educate yourself on the subject[1].

Climate computer models create a spread of outcomes each of them based on various parameters. None of them are conclusions they are all potential outcomes. The IPCC doesn't not just conclude one outcome they provide the spectrum of potential outcomes some of these outcomes have us come out just fine, others are catastrophic but none of them are conclusions.

The outcomes that are "nothing to worry about" are not more unlikely than the "the world is falling apart" outcomes and that's the point I am trying to make.

It's not rational nor sensible to prematurely solve problems that you don't know are actually going to be problems by introducing inferior and unrealiable solutions like wind and solar "just in case" especially not when those "solutions" are creating all sorts of other problems such as burning of coal when the sun is not shining or the wind is not blowing.

The irony of all this is exactly that by focusing on wind and solar i.e. inferior energy sources that will never be able to provide enough energy for the worlds growing demands we are basically ending up burning more coal and fossil fuels at the same time as the wind and solar not being clean energy sources at all. Not as bad as burning coal but still not really that environmentally friendly and hard to maintain.

But the world want's to be fooled.

[1] I took the most pro climate models article I know of. Now add to this that these models are trying to look 50 to 100 years into the future and you realize just how shaky ground we are one with these models.

Again what we can say scientifically and demonstrate is a fraction of what we speculate.

This is a great way of putting things, and much more useful than the article. It's easy to become institutionalized, you become more useful to the company, however you're less useful generally. This is not a good tradeoff for the employee, even though it seems like you're moving up.
