This is a nice little CLI tool one of my colleagues recently wrote to simplify managing Kafka clusters. Think of kubectl for Apache Kafka.

It's a single binary that can easily be dropped on any server.

You can configure one or more clusters in a YAML file, so you don't have to remember all Kafka nodes. It also has smart auto-completion for bash and zsh that leverages your configuration file.
I think the best way to look at it is that memory usage becomes predictable and GC pause free. An application of similar scale and implementation between Java and Rust won't necessarily use less memory when in Rust.
I'm right with you in terms of being an old school c++ programmer. I'm really fond of the QT framework and they have been doing a lot of work to port their widgets for WebAsm use. This made taking our existing Desktop GUI application and embedding it straight into a webpage super easy. Our backend servers are C++ based and speak JSON via WebSockets so reusing the same objects on the front and backend was also convenient.
Also, I would imaging web assembly could open the doors for much more advanced game engines since a lot of them are written in C++.
So, a negligible amount?
I had this idea recently, which is probably naive as I have never run a forum. Recently I read (on yc of course) that the amygdala's purpose is to switch off the empathy functions of the brain in cases where fighting maybe needed for survival. It could be that online text discussions because of their instant responses to responses tends to short circuit this aspect of our architecture. Knee jerk responses seem natural to this unnatural medium we use in forums. I know I am guilty of this behavior as a lot of others are.

What I propose is a delay while editable approach which gives us a natural cool down period. I have regretted posting things too hastily and by the time I realized I screwed up I have to try to put out fires. the delay could be an arbitrary period according to some administrative setting.

Also would be nice if we can suggest to others to revise with predefined tags such as 'personal attack' or 'blanket statement'. Perhaps by some measure the revision is forced.

The goal is to reduce how much work a dedicated moderator has to do and help shield some of the worst parts of it. It could be that a combination of self moderation with community moderation will improve signal quality and help reduce trama, threats, and accusiations.

It's nice for being stage 1 of an import: pull the JSON in and use queries to populate other columns/tables with the extracted portions you're working with since you have the full power of a SQL database for many common cleanup tasks.

"Array" is a pretty loosely defined term that varies from language to language. Python lists are what you may know as "variable-length arrays" of python objects (in other words: not type constrained). If you want type-constrained arrays, you'll use the array module: https://docs.python.org/3/library/array.html

that w3schools page is indeed nonsense. They should probably stick to JS.

C was fixed by adding another language, not trying to take away programming. It really is working at cross purposes. Write code without writing code, when you already know how to write code.

If there was an easier way, it will be put into the language. The bulk of it is avoiding teaching lessons which users need to understand.

Just to show that the example doesn't prove much: millions of people voluntarily spent money on narcotics too. Entertainment products aren't making consumers richer in the long run.

Correcting income and wealth inequality will help ensure the long term health of the economy, and once that's done, we can have another debt-financed consumption binge, but the current binge can't last forever without consequences.
Marketing absolutely works - and the great news is you can advertise or market your product differently to different groups of people. You may loathe them, but sales and marketing folks are in demand for a reason.

I find accepting it & having to pay US taxes to be a pain unless I convert it into USD immediately. Otherwise I have to use special software to figure out the USD price at the time of receipt & then the USD price at the time of conversion into anything else.

I would imagine for large businesses this probably isn't to big of a concern. I also wonder if they could get away with making significant amounts of money by picking the price highs & lows of the day of receipt and day of conversion to USD when reporting taxes.

On the consumer side, I can't imagine keeping track of BTC prices to pay for stuff if I used it as an every day form of currency. I would need special software to help me file taxes. It would need to keep track of every purchase of BTC and then the price of BTC/USD whenever I purchased something. To me this is a huge issue & would create a giant spreadsheet to turn in with my taxes. On the bright side, if more people did this maybe we would have different tax laws regarding cryptocurrencies in the US.

I'd be angry at python there. It's python that uses lists like arrays in the standard language, making beginners search for arrays when python would use a list.

That's a pattern of the language and why I don't like it: It's very often almost like the other C-like languages, only to be that much different that it gets confusing. To just ignore that and call a list an array is not correct, but it makes the beginner searching how to do array-like stuff in python succeed in his task.

I'd be more annoyed at that page if they didn't explain the situation, but they do.

Lightning does assuage those problems, but it exacerbates the bigger and more relevant problem, which is user experience.

It is still ridiculously hard for a layperson to acquire, secure, and transact with Bitcoin.
I don't think you are wrong, but in the case of Bitcoin I think a lack of user focus is a secondary problem. The primary problem is that Bitcoin's economics don't work.

If it becomes popular, its nominal value explodes due to deflationary effects. This makes it inconvenient to use for money and rewards speculation and Ponzi type behavior. This drives people away from using it as money and it crashes. Repeat.

Bitcoin was getting some adoption in 2016 and early 2017, but the late 2017 bubble led to many retailers dropping it due to price instability. The late 2017 Bitcoin bubble was actually a deflationary collapse of the currency. After it there were only speculators left holding bags and trying to gradually get out before other speculators realized it was time to get out. That's where we still are today.
He's specifically talking about Linux on the Desktop, which is hovering around 2% market share ( http://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/desktop/worldwide/... )

It might be that bitcoin is similar to linux - used as a backbone, but not customer friendly enough to ever be used directly by customers. Like maybe banks use it to transfer large amounts of money between each other or something.

Most of the issues with "international banking" are infact just issues with North American banks.

I can transfer large sums of money around Europe and it will arrive in few days at the very latest. Within the same country transfers mostly arrive the same day (often it's under 1 hour), and sometimes that happens internationally too. Oh and I don't need to pay anything for that.

A few years ago I was working in the Middle East, and before I moved back I transferred my savings from there (~€50k) back to Europe without any questions from either bank. I just did the transfer online, and it arrived in a few days.

Now I'm working for a US company, and it took them a few weeks to setup paying me with their bank. It usually takes at least a week from when they tell the bank to pay me, until I receive the money in my account - to a USD account also in the US.

Python lists may well be implemented as arrays. I don't know if they are or not, as I haven't read the Python interpreter source code.

If they are, then the article is even worse, as the disclaimer that Python doesn't have arrays is a lie!
Go is a threat but not to the language you think

True. I was still impressed with how well-thought-out the laptop features were without a desktop environment. I think it would be harder to get the same on Linux without manually configuring the hotkeys and dealing with wpa_supplicant.
Then why does the article incorrectly claim that Python doesn't support arrays?

The whole point of my comment is that I went away from the article still not knowing whether Python has arrays, or not. I can't understand how anyone would defend an article called "X" that doesn't even properly inform you whether X exists

But they're rarely "the basics". Search for Ajax on w3schools and you'll be greeted with code samples for loading XML CD catalogs and replacing the contents of <div>s with HTML loaded without error handling. And of course, there's no explanations for any of it. It's never been "the basics," it's never been about quality, it's a content farm to pull in junior devs with outdated copypasta so they can show ads. Plain and simple.

jQuery is not sexy or modern, but w3school's supposed tutorials are ancient, teach bad practices (find me an XHR example that doesn't use ready State), and work objectively less well than their framework (or modern JS) counterparts. For the market they're serving, they're leading to _worse_ software being built.

If your investment vehicle can’t make up missing out on a couple of grand of “haggling” (highly dependent on a myriad of factors by the way) then you need to seek out better ones.

The average new car is around 35k. 35k with 7 years of returns even with extremely conservative investments should very handily make up for any lost bargaining power at purchase.
Can you cite a common definition of “array” other than a bare minimum of being randomly accessible? (Nothing else is pinned down. Fixed vs variable length, single vs mixed type, or even underlying data structure (cf NSArray)).

By the only universal definition I can think of, python lists are arrays.

Python lists most certainly meet the mathematical definition of array (ie name by index)
Part of a product's functionality, especially clothing, is its ability to project attributes that you want to be associated with. Additionally, 'interesting' products give you something to talk about which also provides additional value as compared to a less 'interesting' product.
Social media seems to have created an environment where, more than ever, individuals apply the ideology of marketing to their entire lifestyle and thought process. You are your personal brand, and you must work to manipulate how others see you. The ad economy strives to turn everyone into an advertiser.

Unfortunately, this philosophy of instrumentality is effective. How would we as a society put marketing back inside Pandora's box?

I have a better analogy. Bitoin has the same issues as Flooz. It’s a more complicated and convoluted solution to a nonexistent problem.

The only people who have problems with spending money the normal way that are serious enough to accept the horrible user experience and unreliability of bitcoin are those conducting illegal transactions or evading currency controls. The market has no reason to rise beyond that narrow use case despite mass speculation to the contrary.
That's some next level dystopian stuff there.
The first part contradicts the rest. World isn't fair, life isn't fair. That means there's no universal law declaring that every city has problems or that everyone has to struggle. Some cities (and countries) have much fewer and smaller problems than others, and life can be much more, or much less, of a struggle; regardless of you (in)action(s).

It is in fact exactly what it should be - a search for better life until you are satisfied with what you have, whether you are escaping war-torn Syria and hoping to run a barbershop in Beirut, or escaping boredom-torn SF and hoping to run a hedge fund in NYC. Nobody owes you either, therefore you have to make if happen all by yourself.

It is worth remembering the real reason there is a limit of 8 hours a day for work is because of a man called Henry Ford, that studied seriously productivity on his company's 300.000 workers and got to the conclusion that 8 hours a day means maximum productivity.

This man along other industrialists started to lobby for 8 hours a day and they got exactly that.
It is amazing PR from Apple that they can get journalists and customers (and even a lot of HN readers) to believe that they are an actual advocate for privacy rights. Apple would sell your soul the second they thought it to be the best thing financially.

Good for you, but I don't see how the sentiment is relevant to this situation.
