Calling new on C++ does not mean you allocate on the heap, rather that the heap might be used.

Placement new, global new handler and allocators change that behavior.

Additionally, following the footsteps of heap heavy languages, C++ optimizers also do escape analysis and even without overriding new's default behavior, the stack might be used instead if the types are proven not to escape scope.

I don’t login to my online banking from my computer very often, nor do I login to government / tax services frequently. I’d be pretty upset if the credentials for these things (especially in the case of some banks, the second password required to perform any kind of transfer operation) got compromised simply because my entire password database got dumped from machine memory without having been used.

I don't understand this argument. Just look at the hen breeding comment. The entire point is that "losing" can be more beneficial than "winning" but the highly efficient winners end up pushing out the sustainable losers. The end result is a local maximum (in relative terms, please spare me the fixed pie bullshit).
If the number has been reassigned you could ring the person, explain the situation and get them to forward you the code. (Also a way to crack other people's accounts!).

I am writing a book exactly for this purpose right now.

For someone making a project and asking "how do I host it now?". My pre-release is still ~3 months far away, so you cannot buy it now, but if you would like to learn the deployment yourself at some point, here it is:

https://vpsformakers.com/

What I recommend is to learn the fundamentals right and start with Bash before jumping to more complex config management tools. Even if your deployment process won't be smooth in the beginning (copy files, setting something manually) do not underestimate the security aspect - you owe it to your users to protect their data.

And avoid ANYTHING you don't need right now. Avoid Docker and the whole universe of tools around Kubernetes. I imagine with Rust you can easily deploy one binary with systemd unit, PostgreSQL service from the OS, set up NGINX and SELinux and you are done.

Someone here said Docker is about uptime. What the *? Docker is additional layer where something can go wrong so by definition it won't be better than just a systemd service.

What ? which fight ? unless you recruit "world class developers" with a year experience in JS paying them half of the average rate with no insurances then there are no fights.

Myself and colleagues, all have worked in normal places that payed decent salaries and all the needed insurances and all got their work permits and permanent residencies approved without problems.

Actually Software development is in the "needed professions" list meaning that you can apply for a permit while you are in Sweden.

Wow. This looks great. I loved Disqus when it first arrived as it gave static sites a way of having comments. Your product neatly fits the bill of giving us the ownership of the comments back.

I notice that the self hosting options use postgres only. Did you have any plans to expand upon that? (I use mysql mostly).

Keep up the great work!

20mm was a pretty popular caliber for AA guns, and you can often find them in the ground around the cities and military bases in Europe that have been heavily bombarded in WWII. In Europe it's a lot of fun to play with metal detectors since there's a lot of stuff in the ground around old cities, from ancient coins to more modern things like WWI and WWII bullets, broken bayonet blades, helmets, and all kinds of old metal junk.

Depending on your size / budget / needs Snowflake may interest you. https://www.snowflake.com/product/architecture/.

I haven't used it but have been given a presentation by them on it, and it was very very good.

They store data in S3 and use FoundationDB for indexes. You can feed it JSON and it'll index it and let you query it on a massive scale shockingly fast.

Obviously they are not aimed at small hobby projects but if your project has money / serious product depending on your needs it's well worth looking at.

On the S3 cheaper / smaller end you can batch up data daily / weekly etc. So the landing bucket acts as a queue that gets processed creating daily batch files from the small files aggregated together. You can then take the daily batches to create weekly batches etc etc, essentially partitioning. This will reduce the total number of files needed to query. If you use deterministic names based on how you plan to query this can also reduce the number of files you need to list / parse. When batching / re-partitioning the data you can also use the Apache Parquet format to compress a little better + also import in some of the querying tools out there.

I hate to break it to you guys but no one comes to hackernews for web design critique. It's much more productive to discuss the actual technology. A solo developer built something pretty cool and interesting and all you care about is the web design?

Production of charcoal and coke both depend on not fully burning the wood or coal, by constraining the oxygen supply, but by heating/baking it to reduce the water content and volatiles. Older processes burn more of the material, in part to help produce the heat, while newer processes try to fuel it mostly of the off-gassing.

But the comment above is referring to a specific treatment of wood by charring the outer layer to make it act as a fire retardant.
> That other countries can exert some influence on yours? That is a fact of life and nothing will change it.

So we'll just accept anything? It's about limiting outside influence as much as possible. Not throwing your hands in the air and give up.

It's always a trade-off. There are good parts and there are bad parts.

EU has morphed into something entirely different than what it was at the start.

> It is a better model than everyone keeping laws dictated by the US, Russia, Germany or France, or WIPO, Google or MPAA lobbyists, which it was before. (National standards get copied or are intentionally very similar.) You get to vote at least on the common choice, instead of the strongest one winning.

You don't solve the issue that laws are influenced by other forces by eroding your voting power. Then you only worsen the problem.

I can of course try to sway MEPs of other countries, but they're far more likely to listen to "my" MEPs as it were – it's part of their job after all.

LN is a good solution imo. Bitcoin transactions only happen when opening and closing a channel (which is kind of like moving money from a savings account to a prepaid card) after that you can do as many payments as you want. Eventually I guess Bitcoin will move to having larger blocks, but that largely depends on the world getting faster connections for node syncing and hard disks price going down (to store the actual blockchain)

I assume Swedish MEPs speak Swedish, lobby them. I assume that the Swedish governemnt do to.

If the european population does not like a specific rule, then they lobby their MEPs and the Council members. You don't need to lobby Greek MEPs, Greeks do.

In the UK I can lobby my own local MP on Westminster matters, I can't lobby an MP in Cornwall though, I don't live there. People with the same views as me in Cornwall lobby their MPs, and those voices are therefore heard in parliament. I don't get to vote for 649 of the 650 MPs in Westminster.

The main "democratic deficit" in the EU is mainly as a result of neither the media nor the people taking it seriously. The information is there, but media outlets tend to have more people covering tiddlywinks than what happens in Brussels. This leads to apathy at best from the people, which leads to less coverage. It's an self-fueling antagonistic feedback loop.

The UK media loves to paint it as "unelected bureaucrats forcing the UK to do things". They don't paint Westminster as unelected bureaucrats forcing cornwall to do things. The problem there is that only 30% of us bothered to vote in 2014, and of those about 30% voted for people who simply claim the paycheck but refuse to actually do any work.

> But it has been protected on a higher level since the 19th century.

And the EU is a more democratic way of having these pan-national agreements set, discussed and changed. Some rules must apply at a global level, some can be set at a local level, some fall between - Trade, air travel, MRAs, Environmental issues, movement of goods, services, people and capital. The EU isn't unique in concept, NAFTA, EU, ASEAN, are all regional agreements covering various rules and laws.
