HiDPI scaling is actually much better on Wayland than on X11. On X, if the app doesn't support HiDPI, the compositor cannot scale the window because it cannot scale input. On wayland, this is possible. Wayland also supports mixed-DPI multimonitor support. On weston, window dragging between mixed DPI monitors is seamless.
Probably not that last one...

I dunno. My Sears lawn mower has lasted us 19 years so far with no maintenance except blade sharpening. And, one spark plug replacement.

I don't think you can find batteries that will last that long.
Current is more dangerous than voltage. So long as one limits the power supplied on the input, the current the output can supply should be quite small, on the order of microamps. It's not fun to be shocked by around 3 KV at low current, but it's not fatal. The capacitance of the electroadhesive pad should be rather small, so even the stored energy shouldn't result in a very large current. It is a good idea to add a current limiting resistor between the pad and the power supply. Not just for safety, but also to limit damage to the power supply in the event of arcing. A bigger problem is that sensitive microelectronic devices tend to mysteriously fail around high voltage power supplies.
The more expensive, the better it works as a signaling mechanism.

We intend to store both the WARC of the headless broswer render and the wget clone. (I'm the creator @pirate on Github). The idea is to archive anything in many redundant formats (HTML clone, WARC, PDF, etc) and for people to run this on a deduplicated filesystem like ZFS/BTRFS or disable specific methods if they care about saving space.

You can track the progress on implementing WARC saving for all archived resources here: https://github.com/pirate/ArchiveBox/issues/130

Getting what you need, when you need it is extremely important to humanity. Middle men aren't glamorous but there's a reason they've existed since the beginning of organized human society. They are offloading the task of planning for the future for you by predicting your needs. This allows you to think about more important problems - Like landing a robot a Mars.

That phrase doesn't appear until nearly the end of the article. It read to me as not particularly political.
In a way, startups are leaving SF BECAUSE startups are coming to SF. That is, when there is a large influx of capital-rich startups, startups w/o capital (or who are capital sensitive) are forced out.

Overall, there's a net in-flow of startups into SF, and so, the VC's follow.
Idunno, it seems fine to me. There are plenty of HTTP daemons that get the job done though, and if you have exacting requirements, there's nothing particularly difficult about writing your own specialized one (generally you don't have to write every feature of NGINX).

I think this will all be alright. The open source product will continue to support most use cases the same as it always has. Customers with additional needs or edge cases will opt-in for support. The byproduct of that relationship will be to ascertain which users are growing to a point where nginx may not be able to support more mission critical needs, and that's where F5's commercial products can come in.

Of course, this also means that you could expect any sort of future development that overlaps with their higher end products to vanish.

I'm not sure this is the analogy you are looking for. If you are concerned with how a hurricane might impact your livelihood, it's generally a much better idea to live in Colorado than on the coast of California.

Except unlike hurricanes, we absolutely can prevent hacks that leak a lot of user information.
In the article about Sam Altman stepping down, it mentioned that YC was moving to the city as well. I guess the center of the universe is less and less actually SV.
We are a little tounge in cheek here, but I’ll take this question seriously. While it is great that NPM can develop new and more reliable products, is would also greatly benefit them and everyone else, if enerprises of certain size or stature would be required, legaly or regutoraly, to pay for software they already use. So say you are a bank, and there is a list of regulations that you have to comply with, so here is a new one. FTC (or California law makers) can figure out the mechanics and JP Morgan will write the check. Then NPM will already have a solid foundation to build on, some indie will have a windfall, and the big software guys might say hell yes, that’s a new business model. That’s what I’d prefer, but no one but you is asking me ;)
In my experience engineers think that technical details are the whole story. But nonengineers (I am not an engineer.) need more contextual information, like some intellectual history of the idea, examples of the technology in use, stories about the development process, maybe an image or video. To me a leader is someone who can talk the whole enchilada.
I think my current set up is pretty automated.

I open a recording program (either Camtasia or OBS depending on what I'm doing), hit record and talk. Then I hit stop.

That's it. At this point my audio is leveled and comes out sounding good since all of the processing happens in hardware in real time. It's also sync'd with the video.

Yeah, especially with that free tier exporting up to 4k/60fps. Then you get the node compositing and souped up mixer for audio. I had to switch to an nvidia driver to get it working on Kubuntu but it works great. For me, it only crashes only when using a specific few filter effects. But I now use the massive filter set that was bundled with Natron so I don't even need DaVinci's bundled filters.

If you can get it working, the thing's a glorious beast.
You're correct. An x264 CRF of 30 would look pretty miserable on almost anything compared to the source.

The article also uses the Main profile in that `-crf 30` example, negating quality even more. The author writes that this must be done to enable compatibility with Safari, but AFAIK Safari has supported H.264@High 5.1 for a while now. Using High profile would help reduce some of the compression artifacts that will result from using a CRF of 30.

The test suite for SQLite is very impressive.

> The reliability and robustness of SQLite is achieved in part by thorough and careful testing. As of version 3.23.0 (2018-04-02), the SQLite library consists of approximately 128.9 KSLOC of C code. (KSLOC means thousands of "Source Lines Of Code" or, in other words, lines of code excluding blank lines and comments.) By comparison, the project has 711 times as much test code and test scripts - 91772.0 KSLOC.

Plus they have a whole page on their site about testing [1]. Which is more then you can say about a lot of open source projects.

My guess is that Elastic is acting the best interest of Elastic and AWS in the best interest of AWS :)
I used to like a lot Elastic, we have a rather big cluster work with the OSS version, and I really disliked how they started mixing the proprietary part with the oss one. I hope we will get a good answer from them. Like splitting again the proprietary plugins and/or open sourcing some of the security features :)

Make a small cluster and test stuff on it ... like anything else.

Most of the scalability stuff is about failure modes and how your system responds to it; so you don’t need stress tests for that.

Know the properties of your system. Eg what carries load? How does it scale? How much can it bare? Then mess with it on your cluster. Etc.

I suggest you start with Kubernetes and try and put together something like a self scaling PostgreSQL Citus cluster . Put data in it and then smash at it with big queries when ready.

Yeah right, what about the 3+ billion people living in asia/africa below what's known as poverty in US/EU ? Do they also live in high tech houses on top of hills, powered by solar panels and batteries, drinking latte macchiatos from an $3k coffee machine and having an electric car / access to helicopters ?

The ones I've seen first hand use services like One Hour Translation and then use whatever e-commerce solution to manage the translations (Magento, Shopify, Wordpress, etc).

It's probable big ones like Amazon do have their own translation teams, but generally speaking most companies (in any industry) rarely hire a translator directly and work with agencies.

My wife is a translator and works for a number of agencies. I see the projects she works on, and that even includes some very large companies like Facebook or Netflix.
Ask HN: How do I 3x my performance?
Generally, I'm not doing everything I want to do in my life, and I'm wondering how other people manage to do all the things.

After a conversation here with another HN user[0], I'd like to ask high-performers how it is they do what they do.

First, what do I mean by "high-performer": someone who is doing what seems like two or more full-time tasks during their everyday life. In the case of [0] the user in question is a dad, full time at school, and has a full time job.

Second, by "how you do what you do" I mean: when it comes down to the point of action how do you move into an action? When does the choice happen? Did you offload that to a list a week prior? How do you handle feeling overwhelmed? Do you even have a sense of overwhelm when moving in to an arbitatrary task? Do you feel exhausted or mentally non-functional with any frequency? What does your sleep, food, and exercise routine look like? Do you meditate?

I just want to know if I'm lacking something fundamental: something physical (chemical imbalance? gut microbiome?), some lack of character development (do I lack "grit"? am I undisciplined?), or something else entirely.

In the case of the conversation in [0], the user has some external motivation; having faced death by cancer, he now wants to live his best life possible. Is this something I can apply to myself? I ponder death on a regular basis (2 to 4 nights a week, not in a sense of suicide, but considering my own mortality), and that doesn't seem to have the same sort of effect.

Cheap ionizer power supplies from ebay and what not[0] can be used to do the same thing for $3-$10. It's best to find one that has an exposed ground wire, which can be difficult as most don't have documentation, but otherwise one can use one of the input supply terminals. I've found that a simply electroadhesive pad a bit bigger than a standard piece of paper with two electrodes made from a space blanket glued on to some polyethylene sheeting can support the weight of a power supply and a 9 volt battery to power it.

My understanding is that Google has recently deviated from this strategy. The result of the strategy you mention is that the industry standardized on other companies' implementation of ideas that came from Google: Hadoop (MapReduce), HDFS (GFS), ZooKeeper (Chubby, and more. For examples of newer open source projects that see more active maintenance from Google, see Kubernetes and TensorFlow.

The more I read these kind of articles the more I realize that it really has nothing to do with science, or science denial. Nobody in these kinds of discussions really cares about the science. It’s all about politics and ideology.

Why aren’t these same people who are talking about science denial never speak up and make a fuss about the denial of climate change by a huge swath of the US population including the elected (e.g. POTUS)?

These are day jobs no one really wants to do. Punch a clock, take the check to pay your bills, and get out to do your own thing.

Find out what they are looking for already before the interview, and just walk in and open with something like:

"So ... ... NimbusML, right???

... ...

Good!"

If you can't even do that, hang out around people at software meetups. Spend maybe a month or two not saying anything and let them wonder about you. Be nice, give work away for free, buy a few drinks or bring food, and then say you have to quit programming because you have to work to pay your bills. If they let you fall flat, do it to another group of people. Eventually the odds will work out.

When you get the job, just don't be a problem. Get things done the easiest way possible without being a headache. Think of a co-pilot allowing a pilot to checkoff a list of procedures. That's what they want.

As an aside, if you’re using company-provided computers and phones your default behavior should be to assume they are spying on you to the degree that they are recording every action you take in those devices. It’s a spectrum—many companies don’t do this at all—but you would be doing well by yourself by assuming they record and track everything. You should also assume all of your traffic while at the office (if your comapny is old school and you only have a desktop) is being recorded.

Comment rating systems are purposefully gamed by "paid" actors -- fake accounts, likes, etc. They aren't foolproof for preventing misinformation as such.

Also, it's rather also disingenuous to write off an entire comment as a "paid actor". That poster just makes the claim (which I believe you contest), that Venezuela is a "legitimate government"? Just say you disagree with the claim and explain why. It's something that would promote meaningful discussion.
