What's stopping you from going full Siddhartha, selling your house/earthly possessions, and giving the wad to the first homeless person you see on your way out of town to live your best ascetic life?

Caring for and providing as much of an advantage to your kids as one is able is a basic human (one could even argue 'mammalian') behavior. I'm disappointed that the narrative is trying to label such hard-coded behavior as everything from 'evil' to 'frowned upon'.
I don't even think its bad practice.

I was the lone technical hire at a startup I was at a couple of years ago. We ran our app on top of postgres, and I used a native macos postgres client to keep an eye on our database (accessed via an SSH tunnel). The startup is very high-touch with clients - we built personal relationships with our clients.

Unsurprisingly our CEO loved looking at the numbers and the data. We could see conversion, and keep an eye on what our users were up to and how they were using our product. I was the sole engineer and I was only working 3 days a week. I didn't have time to build monitoring dashboards and all that; so instead I spent half an hour teaching our CEO the basics of how to do postgres read queries, and how to pull the results of a query out into CSV and into excel. That was probably the most productive half hour of my time at that startup - it was a huge enabler for him, allowing him to explore the data in arbitrary ways. I showed him how to sort, filter, select specific fields and join tables.

If I had instead built a specialised dashboard, it would have taken me away from our product. And I wouldn't have any idea what queries to display - any dashboard I made would have been worse for him than just querying the database directly. I'm still convinced that I made the right call.

(We did eventually build a dedicated admin panel, but months later - only when we actually needed it because some common tasks were too difficult through SQL alone).

I think its likely that surges in demand for all kinds of STEM are going to continue for years. Its not like we haven't seen this before: Too many Lawyers, too many Ship builders, to many coal miners, too many cooks (literally, not figuratively)

Civil Engineering in Australia soaked a lot of very good, skilled graduates from Persia, India, China. But then the boom in gas/oil/coal/iron-ore turned to slump, and they got laid off, and their conditional residency ends, and ..

After working as a Marketing Assistant and Graphic Designer for years, I moved to the San Francisco Bay Area, and re-discovered my passion for learning, building things and finding solutions by coding. That's why I dedicated myself and studied intensively for the past 3 years in order to transition from Web Design to Software Engineering.

Now that I'm a Full Stack Software Engineer, I'm seeking to reach my full potential, keep on learning at a fast pace and use that knowledge to make a meaningful positive impact in any team I work with.
Is there a reason why certificates are being issued using the bare minimum required number of bits, instead of something higher like 128 or 256? Why even risk being at the very edge?
This doesn't make sense. That parent commenter said they avoid killing animals, and your reply is they shouldn't bother because animals still die.

It's like if I said, "I don't hunt people for sport" and someone replied,

"Disease, starvation, accidents -- you are aware that humans do in fact die outside of being hunted, yes?"

Sure, they die. What does that have to do with the morality of killing them?

Maybe it’s my English. What probability do you assign to “seems likely”? Above 50% (the way I read it)? Or does it mean it’s a possible outcome among many others, all with very low probability?
A "first person engine" could be ray-casting on a 2d map like the original Wolfenstein, or on a 2.5d map like the original Doom, or actual 3d like Quake and everything since. It's a broad term.

The fact it isn't called a 3d engine, to me as an old person who played Doom on its release, makes "first person engine" a more appropriate. name
I suppose so, but it's worth noting that no other nation's tertiary education system holds a candle to the United States.
Thank you for sharing this. Frankly, I don't think it is very good faith to sell your commercial templates on a launch thread of a product focused on free legal documents for startups, but users will make their choice.
> It is your right to know the type of aircraft when you are booking your flight.

This is not actually any kind of right in the US. The airline can switch to using a MAX just before the flight boards without breaking any law or contract with you, and would not have to honor your request to travel on a non-MAX aircraft instead.
It is easy, if you want the FOSS dream to keep alive, pay the developers for the software.

Otherwise don't come around complaining how their are selling themselves, while not being willing to pay for the tools of trade.
Thanks for the explanation, super helpful.
Is this any surprise? Since early 2017 people have been alleging that the Obama DOJ was biased in the 2016 election in favor of HRC. Beyond shielding her from criminal charges and protecting people in her circle, they and the FBI got a fishy dossier funded by themselves and the DNC / Clinton Campaign as opposition research and used that to secure a FISA warrant on Trump campaign staffers and regularly unmasked them to leak things to the press.

The only question now is which details are true and which are fantasy?

Canadian consumers as a group buy a variant amount of dairy products without any Government requirement of a minimum purchase amount.

Canadian dairy farmers coordinate with one another with the assistance of the Canadian Government to avoid over-producing and under-producing, and to sell as a single bargaining unit to purchasers. At no point does the Canadian Government subsidize dairy farmers to produce products, nor does the Canadian Government rebate Canadian consumers for purchasing dairy products.

Moreover, the Canada Food Guide no longer includes dairy as an essential food group. Most Canadians live close to the border and could cross-border shop.

There is no subsidy.
Here's a fictitious but plausible example:

Small operators impose a larger set of small burdens in time into things like waste stream, and transport. Large operators syphon their waste into the stream in one go, rather than diluting the 1000 cattle across a month, it presents as a wave of high nutrient content for processing. It overwhelms the tertiary waste treatment plant, requiring re-scaling of holding tanks, more oxygenation, more dilution into the river systems.

Unless regulated, a single entity functioning as a "more efficient" process is very likely to impose scale breaking consequence on things. This would be true to road transport (for cows, for milk) for energy (cold storage, pumping) and it is very likely at a lower overall labour cost, so significantly higher apparent efficiency and profit to the farm holding corporate entity, but at community cost in terms of infrastructure/utility burden.

Even thermal: a single aggregated cow barn for 1000 animals will radiate more heat have have a more aggressive effect on the microclimate than 10 100 cow sheds over a larger area...
The claim was about a 1 bit reduction in entropy. A scenario like that definitely acts differently, but it's not searching a space either; reducing a guaranteed calculation time by 2x is not really comparable to a loss of 1 entropy bit.

You're doing casual conversation wrong. Wit is all about timing, for example, and people love casually witty people. People dislike people telling boring tales of their lives, but if you add a little tension, even a trip to the market can seem interesting.
The blog comment is absolutely correct.

I distribute open source software. I give a big advantage to those willing to pay me through a support contract.

And as for the (unwritten) "promise the maintainer made", that social contract goes both ways. If that exists, then what of the promise that users will support the maintainer?

Remember esr's hyping of the "gift culture" to open source? In practice it's balderdash. Or as Zed Shaw puts it:

> There was sort of like this unwritten contract in open source that we had; the unwritten contract with corporations was if you wrote open source that they were using, you got some sort of job, or consulting fees, or at least some respect so that way you could find jobs.

> ... I started to realize that “No, that contract has completely been rewritten. It’s totally different now. If you write open source, you’re not gonna get a job”, and now what’s been happening - and part of my tweet storm and whatnot about open source - is that it’s gone the opposite direction, where what I see is sort of like almost direct action to prevent open source developers from making money…

Great dataset covering government, economics. Hope that more open data can be added to this database for research.
Its only reasonable that individuals do it but it isnt healthy for society as a whole, as it leads to an entrenched class system.
I think the problem is not the regulation. The problem is the decline in bargaining power from the farm side, into aggressively un-regulated market concentration. The farmer cooperative buying produce to on-sell was replaced by direct sale to the supermarket and logistics costs pushed back on the farmer. All in search of a 1c a litre difference.

Please don't blame regulation for what is unequal market forces.

"just the cryptographic hash of that file"

Is that strictly true? I am still wrapping my head around the DAG, but as far as I can tell, if I add a "large" file and you add a large file, they may result in different ipfshashes. Is that remotely accurate? More importantly, does it matter?

Can I hand someone a 16cb96ba835448d441b02c50d783a0ea7b424df1 and expect them to be able to find the file?

Harvard now teaches git fundamentals in their intro CS classes. It adds like 15min of work and in most cases you’re expected to do it on your own, but you don’t graduate without some git basics under your belt.

The idea that universities should only teach theory is preposterous. While Bolonia or Harvard or Oxford might not have been founded on the idea of helping students find jobs, that’s an implicit - and legitimate - expectation since the mid 20th century.

It’d be criminal for unis to drop out students into the real world without any knowldge of git. Hell, it’s also widely used in academia, so if you teach students “research techniques”, you might as well teach them git.
it's funny, not sure why you are downvoted
Something that is good for the individual is not necessarily good for society. Such as wealth-based admission to college, which is good for the wealthy but terrible for society.

What is the value of a college education? This is a contentious question that I believe more and more people should be asking, and debating about.

Is the value in the education that one receives, or in the the network that one gains access to? They're really both sides of the same coin: they both represent opportunity.

Ideally, we could have both – just admit all the high-achieving students from upper middle-class backgrounds. When there's no more space, just simply expand: build some dorms, hire a few more professors, etc.

But in reality, where resources are already scarce, schools face a tradeoff: do we admit the bright student from a poorer background, or the wealthier, albeit not as academically-inclined, student? Here, admissions basically become a zero-sum game.

I guess it boils down to an argument of whether intellectual capital is to be more valued, or of social capital.
In Australia, a small number of farm cooperatives succeed but most died on the vine. We lost our canning plants to overseas. We lost our cooperatives to industry self regulated open markets. The supply chain (coles, woolworths) pushed costs back on the supply side and bid farm against farm.

I think the death of the cooperative movement in farming was a long-con by the industry. Somebody should have pushed back because Unity (the northern NSW farming coop for dairy produce) is alive and well, when other farming coops died and the farmers are now bereft of power in the supply chain.
Or do they buy them because they're convenient?

Or do they buy them because they're cheaper than restaurant or take-out alternatives?

Or do they buy them because the packaging is appealing?

Regardless, processed food is generally shit, everywhere. Discerning health and quality conscious consumers in any nation aren't likely to favour purchasing processed food.
The entire crux of the post's commentary is an intentional misinterpretation of the original post. The motivating quote with the actual context is:

> At AWS, we believe that maintainers of an open source project have a responsibility to ensure that the primary open source distribution remains open and free of proprietary code so that the community can build on the project freely

Amazon's core complaint is:

> Unfortunately, since June 2018, we have witnessed significant intermingling of proprietary code into the code base.

The Elastic license itself professes to include code that isn't covered under the original Apache 2.0 license: https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/blob/master/LICENSE...

> Within the "x-pack" folder, source code in a given file is licensed under the

> Elastic License, unless otherwise noted at the beginning of the file or a

> LICENSE file present in the directory subtree declares a separate license.

If Elastic wants to adopt an open core model, that's perfectly fine, but mixing the open source and proprietary bits in the same repo is messy and should raise eyebrows.

What Amazon seems to be asserting is that a project that is open source shouldn't change the license terms. That is not an assertion, as this blog post claims, that the original developers must maintain the project indefinitely.
That is a bunch of bullshit and you know it. AWS have made a tiny contribution to Linux.
> You can't make outgoing SMTP (25/587) access without giving them copies of passports, etc.

That's odd, I simply opened a ticket and they enabled it for me.
Crawlers and anti-crawler wasted too much resource, data shared in open database is a great idea.

It is normal behavior, everyone does it. But as that passed down wealth becomes more and more essential for a good life, society at large should stop pushing the myth that it is largely meritocratic, especially as lines between social classes become more rigid by the day.
I agree. It sucks when some giant company forks your project and gives you nothing. But that's exactly the point of open source licences. If Elastic doesn't like getting their projects forked why did they use Apache 2.0 in the first place ? They could have used a proprietary licence.
Do your own thinking then and exercise criticism towards all sources of information, mainstream or not.

Free speech isn’t about holding your hand and establishing a standard, it’s about laying out all the information, real or not, and letting you decide for yourself.

If you posit that censorship is an acceptable form of filtering where someone else with their own version of facts and biases does your thinking, then you are entering a very dangerous mindset.
Misunderstanding density: why we are building the wrong sort of cities (2014)

Did you go to college? Its not a school, your attendance is absolutely meaningless.
Price economics are really bad at modelling strategic. America (and Australia) don't want lowest price food. They want secure food, produced from domestic and international sources. If you want domestic food production you have to be prepared to force it, because on price alone, the foreign sources will always win. If its not mexico, its canada or vietnam.

China is buying New Zealand and Australian Dairy because of the systematic rorting of their supply by industry using Urea to boost apparent protein levels. Now tell me again, how you want a US milk industry to compete with that?

There are other non-Google options... Not sure if the storage is necessarily comparable, but Rackspace starts at $3, Microsoft $4, Zoho at €1.

While Rackspace seems like a company on a downward slide I’ve used their email before and it was solid. Microsoft of course is Microsoft, everyone knows what Exchange is like and it’s up to you if you want them to have your data. I have no experience with Zoho, but they’re definitely the cheapest.

> Which is neither here, nor there.

It's actually kind of the same argument you are making: Look at the "poor" 90%, except in global terms.

> Wealth is social, not absolute.

I don't know what "wealth is social" is supposed to mean. I'm talking about material wealth, not "spiritual wealth". The things I can buy, the services I can afford to use, etc. That's what income and purchasing power is about. If you want to compare by other measures, don't start by talking about income, otherwise you're shifting the goalpost. Talk about "Gross National Happiness" or something like that.

> When everybody else lives in a proper house, we're not thankful that we live in a trailer because in 10.000 B.C we'd been living in a cave

Except "everybody else" isn't living in a proper house. The worldwide standard of living today is far below that of the US. To compare good and bad you need a reference frame.

> Life is not a race to make the most money. Some people make it, but it's not inherently that.

Of course it isn't, but let's dig a bit deeper.

Let's start by making any amount of money, because as you say, most people live paycheck to paycheck. What does money represent to someone who doesn't have any? It's their lifetime, their freedom. You can't say no to a shit job if you need the money. You can't take a vacation if you don't have the money. You can't eat the things you want if you don't have the money. You can't live where you want if you don't have the money.

Sure, at some very high point (tens of millions of dollars) your basic lifestyle can't really any better, but at that point you will probably still find joy in investing into companies or charity. You still can use more money to live a better life.
I would for sure like to learn more.

1) which gain in efficient use of resource can such a system produce? 1%? More? Less?

2) is there a book or some article about this idea so that I can learn a bit more and think about how to introduce this in my own business?

3) are there other products for this, apart from SAP itself?
Personally I hate EJBCA.

Recently they stopped releasing new updates for the community edition (blocker at 6.10, while the 7.0.1 is out) because they are a really greedy company.

Building by yourself is half a nightmare and the installation process as well, relying on ant tasks for it and that fail 5 out of 10 times.

Considering the UI, most of the settings can be really misused and even their evangelist can get fooled by it (especially with their Enterprise Hardware Instance, whose synchronization across the nodes is also faulty)
> Concerns about server going down or changing cloud provider imo is not particularly interesting or even useful advantage to mention for personal infrastructure.

I’ll let you know my kids personally disagrees with you on this one if Plex on the TV or iPad suddenly doesn’t work.

Being able to easily migrate apps is super nice to when changing hardware/server.
I admit it, I hate single page apps. I see very few that actually work well. I don't hate JavaScript, it has its place, but you don't need to make an entire website an SPA. Stuff like the main Spotify, Slack, or Discord pages, and even things like Google Docs, and email front ends are fine for SPA. But you don't need to also embed all the FAQs and other crap into the SPA. You know what isn't an SPA? Hacker News. You know what else isn't? Google, GitHub, Amazon, and Stack Overflow. I've disabled the SPA version of Reddit. I've built SPAs and they are so much harder and take so much longer to develop and maintain than traditional web sites. I wish they'd just die. Sadly, everyone else at my work orgasms about SPAs, pushing every damn thing into it. We have stuff that works perfectly well and no one has ever complained about it? Screw it, let's spend $50k turning that feature into an SPA. I know many of you disagree with me and I'll get off my soap box now. </vent>
