Fundamentally, we wanted an interface to QUIC that we could integrate with our existing server systems. Our servers, naturally, have their own methods of handling a wide range of things like: socket addressing; events state; memory management; TLS handshake processing; request and response processing; and we needed our QUIC implementation to be as independent of these notions as possible. Looking at a library like quinn and some other QUIC implementations, we see that these APIs are tied to many of these external notions, and specific implementations of these notions for that matter, one example being the core protocol objects in quinn that directly link to specific socket and address and even event loop reactor objects - and these objects strictly in Rust to boot.

It was obvious from our experience with our first QUIC proof of concept, and from our evaluation of options for our continued QUIC offerings, that existing solutions available right now would not be able to offer the level of flexibility and abstraction we need, nor would they likely be able to add the interfaces we need in a reasonable timescale, nor would they likely tolerate our requests to do so.
> The takeaway here is that Google and Amazon prioritise their proprietary solutions (Google BigQuery, AWS Redshift)

Except this is nonsense and there is no evidence to back it up.

AWS Redshift is a replacement for an enterprise data warehouse. It is not suitable for a website, OLTP or for many analytics use cases and AWS has never claimed it to be as such. It's why they they offer a suite of different paradigm databases e.g. Aurora, DocumentDB, DynamoDB, Neptune and Redshift. Because no one database fits every use case.

Also using a database as a job queue really is a strange thing to do when you are running on the cloud and there are dedicated services available specifically for this use case.
Technical differences aside:

RIOT is the only mentioned OS with a copyleft license (well, LGPLv2.1), trying to create a FOSS alternative in the embedded/IoT space.

With permissive licenses for embedded software, open source usually ends at the factory.
An Actor is not a sequential process because it does not have a program counter that moves sequentially through a program.

You might find Actors more intuitive. For example, see the following video by Hewitt, Meijer and Szyperski: The Actor Model (everything you wanted to know, but were afraid to ask)

I'd say there's a difference between a 'web site' and a 'web app'. If there's a web app for which you'd allow notifications if it was a native app, why wouldn't you do so for the web app?
> You're over-generalizing from a small non-representative sample

Sure, of course, everyone is posting anecdata. But I've also run with a lot of people averaging 50+ marathons a year and they're dismissive of the 300-400 miles claim for shoe life. I know one of them did well over 50 marathons in the same shoes, for example. I managed a 4:50 with year old shoes that had about 750 miles on (through running and walking) and no injuries.

I can imagine that if you're going hard, fresh shoes with cushioning and support are important, definitely. But most people won't be going hard, they'll be bumbling along for a 5-6h pace in their every day trainers.

> We're not all young and invulnerable running occasionally on the most forgiving surfaces in the mildest climate.

Kind of you to suggest that I might be young but I'm approaching my half century. Most of the people I've run with are the same or older. I will concede that South East England does have a relatively mild climate for most of the year.

Show HN: SANE – The Safe and NEeded TOML/YAML Alternative
Hi author here,

I've been developing an open standard since some time to replace the ugliness of YAML and TOML and the flaws of JSON for configurations files.

Configuration files (Human to machine) have some needs that TOML/YAML do not satisfy (clarity, tooling/linting friendliness, consistency, safety, parsers friendliness...) and JSON neither (as it was designed to be mahcine to machine it does not have comments, have null...).

It's currently used in production with success.

Here is the website for the standard: https://opensource.bloom.sh/sane

Here is the repo for the standard: https://github.com/bloom42/sane

and here is the repo for the Go parsing library: https://github.com/bloom42/sane-go

Going shortly towards a v1.0 any feedback is welcome.

> - Extra food/coffee: $79.90

A Mcdonalds breakfast will only cost you £5. Surprisingly common pre-race fuel for a lot of people I know who run marathons...

> - Gear: $578.80

Yeah, if you're buying an entire new set of gear for every marathon, I suppose it'll cost a lot. Although I'm struggling to see how you get to $578 (~£440) even splurging on expensive shoes and kit.
The thing is CSS is there's a lot of gotcha's to remember but I think people mostly struggle with it because they underestimate the HTML. You need to think through the box model for how to structure the elements before you start trying to move them around relative to each other.
Exercise is anything but relaxing (except for perhaps afterwards). More likely it's mostly a status indicator. People want to be "a person who runs marathons", or be a very fit person, because in their mind it gives status.
tl;dr; Running an app monopoly is expensive.
You can use cheaper or older shoes for training, and you don't need to train 80k/week for the whole year if you are running two marathons. I'd say you can do it a lot cheaper than 1k if that's what's important to you.
Any tips on how to find freelance gigs?
The same can be said of lead. I'm fairly certain I've read of a study / theory that the drop in crime rates can be tracked back to removing lead from paint, gasoline, etc.

Full disclosure: I don't recall if this jumped the gap between correlation and cause.

Yes of course. Especially when it's the SDK of a router, or drivers for an Android mobile so you can make a ROM for them! (Those are the examples I had originally in mind)
I dont think these companies are looking at N of hours at that point. They have a project and a timeline and budgeted to hire engineers that would deliver in that timeline.
At that point it's not about hours but the MVP they are able to deliver.
Yup. And that's by design. Stability is asymptotic and increasingly expensive to reach toward 100%. There's a very intentional "this is good enough" point.
Maybe it's been a while since you used a CLI when you weren't intimately familiar with it, or maybe it has been a while since you used an application that deviates from the -h standard (or that doesn't provide a manpage, opting instead for info), but I'd really hesitate to call this process self-documenting for anyone that doesn't already know the tool.

I've been using command-line interfaces for a pretty long time now, and I'm incredibly thankful that these days I can look something up on the internet and generally find a list of some examples on how to use things. Man pages are generally incredibly verbose in all the wrong ways (far too much information, far too little that you actually want) and the -h switch at best gives you some flags and descriptions that are fundamentally too short to teach you anything useful. There is no real global standard for what kind of flags or inputs do what things (for example, far from every program with a CLI interface will actually accept "-" as an input file even though that's one of those things a lot of people use and should therefore be pretty obvious), further obfuscating the core workings of anything you might be using.
I'm inclined to believe this as well. It's so hard to get a statistically significant effect and approval for drugs that are worth billions of dollars, that there's simply little incentive to study and promote "natural" alternatives.

Maybe moving to a city with better drinking water is the best move for a small subset of the population. There's no sinister cabal trying to hide this, there's just no incentive for anyone figure this out for you in an individual basis.

I could see pharma working the other way though. If you could identify a location with a population who exhibit a deficiency and your drug is more effective there, there's an incentive to better promote it there. I don't think the industry is sophisticated enough at this point to accurately track this though, as individual patient response is difficult to measure and report on.

Most examples I looked at were just a few lines. None of them showed multi-tasking, nor using sensors or similar SPI/I2C communication or similar.

Looking at the source code it seemed very Arduino-like in the sense that there's few knobs to turn, which is nice for simple stuff but means you'll have to go straight to registers for anything beyond.

Overall a bit hard to get a feel for what it could do.

First of all, CSS is t like any programming language. It’s a cascade of properties that is tightly coupled to the tree-like nature of HTML. You don’t ‘understand’ CSS on it’s own; it must be in tandem with suitable HTML.

Secondly, the visual aspects of design (colours, fonts, layout) have got nothing to do with your grasp of CSS. I am not a designer and really struggle to make pages look good without a professional’s help. But give me a beautiful design and I’ll code it up in lovely CSS for you no problem.

also, the fact that you can do it on your own schedule mostly. It's hard for busy professionals to conform to a team training schedule. Running, swimming etc. you can mostly do when you have the time. Of course running and swimming clubs are hugely beneficial but are mostly optional.

I think you need to "relax" your definition of "relaxing"!

For somebody who crunches numbers all day, it's very "relaxing" to go out and do something that stresses another part of your being. The overworked part gets to take the time off while the underworked part gets a run-out.

Without higher throughput systems including but not limited to CPUs, you can to some degree just throw more servers at the problem. But now you’ve doubled (maybe more like tripled) the cost to get 2x the performance. And some applications like mobile and sensors depend on miniaturization for a given capability.
We send SIGHUP btw. The kernel's own sending of SIGHUP is bound to the TTY concept btw, which is specific to TTY logins only, not graphical ones.

That said the question is not so much about who sends what, but more about whether a secure system should allow user code to escape lifecycle management or whether logging out means logging out and giving up all resources.

As to the stuff mentioned in the pwnie. Those sound like great contributions that would be appreciated.

You could also take your concerns to the distro development group. If that doesn't work you could also customize your distro with a custom build of systemd.

Maybe it'd help to modify a window manager, to very slowly change the position of things on screen. This would be especially effective with a tiling WM in dark mode, so there aren't any large areas of lit pixels.

There'd be some details to work out, like making sure you don't trigger word wrap changes. One approach would be to leave a little border on at least one of the screen, so you can move everything together horizontally without changing window widths. In the vertical direction maybe you can get away with changing relative window sizes slightly.

(On the other hand, if you're mainly using text in dark mode, maybe your fancy OLED screen isn't benefiting you much.)
The worst part for me is that it's one of the few places I end up having to hack my hacks because I find out that Firefox does something wildly different from Chrome so the fix I just made to Firefox made it better but broke something else. It feels just as annoying and opaque now as when I was doing CSS hacks for Netscape navigator vs IE. The other thing that frustrated me about CSS and continues to this day is the lack of permanence of a working layout. That is one of the things that really separates the backend from the front end mindset for me, the back end can be done forever but the front end will have to change to fix something unknown in the future

Your counterpoint (“except for perhaps afterwards”) is a large part of why I, and I’m sure others, work out.

As far as I'm aware, the focus of RIOT is to make embedded development as similar as possible to the way you'd write an application on Linux, including most of the relevant POSIX APIs. This is what, as far as I know, sets it apart from other systems such as Contiki or FreeRTOS, which have non-POSIX APIs for interaction with the OS.

Someone on this thread asked why RIOT vs FreeRTOS is not something being compared. FreeRTOS doesn't really come with all the drivers, network stack etc that you need in order to write an embedded IoT application. That is not to say that it's not possible to do so, but it requires more work of picking the right drivers and libraries, whereas RIOT tries to work out of the box for supported devices.

Finally, RIOT was born as a university project, and many of the people working on it are either university students or former students. In that sense, there are many, often conflicting interests and no single governing body. Depending on your point of view, this might either be good or bad.

In an unusual society, those who are disadvantaged will also be disadvantaged on this test if it becomes important enough to predict one's future prospects.

re-using instead of recycling the containers is obviously a good idea, but it's not really an invention, it's how things used to be in the past. I applaud the concept, but really it is governments who should be applying a differential tax rate for products in re-use containers compared to those in "disposable" containers.

I'm afraid their business model is really just making a walled garden re-use system, which will really only serve to entrench brand loyalty, for those brands they allow in their re-use cartel. I can easily imagine them having received or intending to receive government subsidies for this "green" brand loyalty project. If this is the case the governments would have been better off directly organizing this in a level playing field. It won't be green if the bulk of the population can not afford these brand products, and if the off-brand products are individually too small to each organize their own re-use systems -which will also take up shop space etc for shops that co-operate- so really it should be a brand-agnostic system, and instead of subsidizing a couple of top brands for their green intentions, we should make sure that we return to re-use containers we had in the past, but with a level playing field so that it becomes easy for any brand to partake and select containers from the government catalogue, or an easy process to negotiate new containers that better meet their demands...
