Backend web developer specialized in Node.js. Have worked on many projects with big companies, led small developer teams, modernized legacy systems, and worked on a browser extension that identified twitter bots using deep learning. Happy to try out new technologies.
Thank you :)
- Not yet, but process scaling is coming very soon!
- Good catch! It's running in the Scaleway Amsterdam datacenter. Might expand to more regions/providers in the future
- Logs are pretty basic. In your dashboard, you can see the logs for the last build and the last ~50 lines of your application logs
This is why some designers advise not to use the word “Cancel” at all. It’s pretty ambiguous what it really means.
OP was incorrect about the year - it was 2013. The OPM breach included ANYONE who filled out/submitted an SF86 form to the USG. I believe fingerprint data was compromised at all - our (US) government flopped real hard on this issue and put millions of people's personal information into the wild.
I have nothing to add except that the title “Batter Reality:” would have been objectively better.

Ask HN: How to see projects through to completion
I (a 25 year old software developer) am constantly working on side projects. Most of them ideas for applications - but even other, more creative pursuits. However, unless the project is something that can be completed in a weekend (mp4tag.com is an example from a few years ago) - it never sees the light of day. The work week starts, and I lose motivation to work on thing when I get home - and by the next weekend - chances are I have a new idea to work on, which captures my interest much more than the old one. The end goal is to make something that gives me another income source, even if it's $1 a month, that would be gratifying. For example, in the last month, I've started, and moved on from making:

- A web-based audio editor

- A mobile game

- An amazon referral and review site (EG 'top ten bug zappers on amazon')

- An ML gimmick site (like thispersondoesnotexist.com)

Most of these projects get to be like 40-70% complete. And granted, "the last 20% takes as long as the first 80%" I'm sure hold very true. Things like productionization and cleaning things up for user friendliness take time. But it's very disheartening that I can't quite seem to finish anything. I'm not looking to create a huge passive income source - I just want something to point to and say "I made that."
There's a minor spelling mistake "Ressources" on your page.
Are there examples you can think of who will not? Generally speaking, I've found almost everyone after implementing data deletion for GDPR compliance allows its use globally. Mostly because the only thing they invite for refusing is more legislation compelling them to do it, and potentially making other demands as well.

I really do think a lot of ORM use is because devs are afraid to use SQL or at least afraid of how others devs might use it. This is true whether devs want to admit it or not.

That said, SQL doesn't lend itself to easy composability and you can end up with "4000 line monsters" if you really tried to put as much business logic into the query as possible.

Is anyone working on SQL extensions, ORM, or new 4th Gen language that could actually support something like 4000 lines of SQL in a maintainable way?
Traits are okay in principle but, as a Rust beginner, the huge number of trait implementations make browsing the api docs overwhelming. For example, the list of implementations for String don't even fit on the screen at once. [1] It seems very repetitive and I wish there were an easier way to get an overview of what functionality is available and find the right method to call.

The first hit from DuckDuckGo for 'ekpyrotic' is the Wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ekpyrotic_universe . It describes the reason Steinhardt created that word as the name for the model.

The Steinhardt and Turok preprint is at https://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/0111030 , published in the journal Science at http://science.sciencemag.org/content/296/5572/1436.full .

> We propose a cosmological model in which the universe undergoes an endless sequence of cosmic epochs each beginning with a ‘bang’ and ending in a ‘crunch.’ The temperature and density are finite at each transition from crunch to bang. Instead of having an inflationary epoch, each cycle includes a period of slow accelerated expansion (as recently observed) followed by slow contraction. The combination produces the homogeneity, flatness, density fluctuations and energy needed to begin the next cycle.

See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Steinhardt#Cyclic/ekpyrot... .
That argument only applies to irreversible computation. The errata for Applied Cryptography corrects this:

> The section on "Thermodynamic Limitations" is not quite correct. It requires kT energy to set or clear a single bit because these are irreversible operations. However, complementing a bit is reversible and hence has no minimum required energy. It turns out that it is theoretically possible to do any computation in a reversible manner except for copying out the answer. At this theoretical level, energy requirements for exhaustive cryptanalysis are therefore linear in the key length, not exponential.
The lowest price is quite attractive to people who run an app on a $5 VPS (although there are some < $5 / vps out there). $5 VPS vs $3 PaaS, Kinda good market positioning!

No one wants a used razor

This attitude is part of the problem. Maybe you're right -- although there are 450 listings for used men's Braun electric razors on eBay right now so it's a bit stark to claim that "no one wants a used razor" -- but being squeamish about stuff like this is a silly attitude that we should change. "Eww skin cells and hair" is not a valid excuse to throw away functioning things. We have running water, dishwashers and disinfectants.

I don't mean this as an attack on you, but on this prevalent attitude in society that makes you feel like your used razor is worthless.
That's me!

Why?

So many more titles are on DVD than streaming. Many many more.

Try watching anything by Rainer Fassbinder on streaming: does not exist, but are on DVD. But that number is dropping due to licensing issues, just like streaming. My DVD queue has movies saved in "unknown" that I've actually SEEN from Netflix back in 2002 when I first subscribed.

Examples of DVDs from Netflix ca. 2002-2005 that I watched which no longer exist:

Lumiere and Company

The Third Man

The House that Dripped Blood

Lies

Crimes of Passion

Sadly my "unknown availability" list is growing.

> On one side is a country whose identity is defined by anti-India-nism. On the other side is China, need I say more

Two incredibly low blows, although I suppose this way you've made your isolated point of view very clear.

> Moreover, both these neighbors are ganged up by their mutual animosity of India.

Another way of saying this is they've been successful in maintaining strong ties via diplomacy and trade, to the benefit of their peoples.

> India doesn't have any options but to make sure there are deterrents in place. It's a necessity.

There have always been options; some of which India has rejected themselves, arguably leading to the souring of other international relations. This weapons test will hopefully lead to condemnations and repercussions, direct or indirect.

For example, I would welcome the IRSO being excluded from further policy-making as part of the Inter-Agency Space Debris Coordination Committee (IADC).

Anybody else get an immediately negative visceral reaction from this? If I'm understanding this correctly, the aim is to manipulate our sense of shame/guilt to boost productivity.

After sitting with the feeling for a bit, here are some ideas that come to mind:

1. Maybe we should ask why we feel shame/guilt in the first place. Is it "normal" to feel this? If it isn't we should not rely on it for our happiness (or productivity).

2. What is the value of productivity? Why does it make us happy?

For me, guilt/shame is something to be overcome, not used as a tool. And the value of productivity is something that has been handed down to us by a culture which we've been thrown into. And (at least for me), it's our duty to question these ideas instead of merely giving into them to self-reinforce themselves.
Views are not a layer of obfuscation. They are a layer of abstraction...
I recently had lunch at a startup that offered a "simple lunch" option: chicken breasts, grilled vegetables, and a starch. Apparently they did this every day, a simple healthy meal. More places should do that IMHO.
ORMs are about abstractions. We use django, and django gives us great abstractions so we can create more value customers rather than do sql kungfu.

When we find something can be better expressed as SQL because of a complicated join from many tables, we use SQL.

ORM is just another tool in your toolbox. They are not mutually exclusive.

Depending on what exactly you want to measure, the largest grid storage by far is the power-to-gas/gas cavern/gas power plant cycle. But of course only a miniscule fraction of the energy currently going through caverns and gas plants comes from power-to-gas, so it's not wrong to put pumped hydro ahead (possibly even battery installations, p2g is tiny)

Here: https://www.pnas.org/content/early/2019/03/27/1817407116 "A seismically induced onshore surge deposit at the KPg boundary, North Dakota", DePalma et al 2019

> The most immediate effects of the terminal-Cretaceous Chicxulub impact, essential to understanding the global-scale environmental and biotic collapses that mark the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction, are poorly resolved despite extensive previous work. Here, we help to resolve this by describing a rapidly emplaced, high-energy onshore surge deposit from the terrestrial Hell Creek Formation in Montana. Associated ejecta and a cap of iridium-rich impactite reveal that its emplacement coincided with the Chicxulub event. Acipenseriform fish, densely packed in the deposit, contain ejecta spherules in their gills and were buried by an inland-directed surge that inundated a deeply incised river channel before accretion of the fine-grained impactite. Although this deposit displays all of the physical characteristics of a tsunami runup, the timing (<1 hour postimpact) is instead consistent with the arrival of strong seismic waves from the magnitude Mw ∼10 to 11 earthquake generated by the Chicxulub impact, identifying a seismically coupled seiche inundation as the likely cause. Our findings present high-resolution chronology of the immediate aftereffects of the Chicxulub impact event in the Western Interior, and report an impact-triggered onshore mix of marine and terrestrial sedimentation—potentially a significant advancement for eventually resolving both the complex dynamics of debris ejection and the full nature and extent of biotic disruptions that took place in the first moments postimpact.
Because learning from previous mistakes is somehow a sin?
Well I guess they are sending you purchase orders and requesting invoices because they cannot use credit card because of corporate rules(accounting, policies etc).

Its possible to automate this. You should use some ERP system or even accounting system. You could read automatically the purchase orders they send to you and create sales order's, deliveries and invoices in the ERP system.

Are you even using accounting system? Maybe the software you are using has the possibilities to create this kind of integration?
Apple hasn’t cared about games for a long time, and it hasn’t really started caring now.

For example, virtual slot machines, which make up something like 9% of the top grossing charts, are the biggest IAP offenders. They’re bad for gaming, they’re like the virus of the industry. If Apple wanted to, it could just remove them from the store in an afternoon.

The platforms that don’t run virtual slot machines tend to host the biggest achievements in gaming critically and financially. That would appear to be, in a narrow and uninteresting way, the Epic Games Launcher, or the PlayStation store hosting GTA. How does Apple have the store for devices as powerful as and more numerous than the Switch, and yet can’t host more than a few critical and financial successes a year?

It’s the culture, duh. It’s not the business model. That’s why subscriptions are kind of stupid.

Wind over large scales is less random than people assume even if the variation is large. California both needs more electricity in the summer and gets more wind energy in the summer. Further, peak solar and peak wind output occur at different times of the day which again is extremely useful.
If a new battery tech like fluoride batteries has much more capacity but is more expensive because it's not produced at scale yet, a solution is to do exactly what Tesla did in the first place: put it first in expensive high-end cars and gradually work down the value chain.

“We’re happy to accept payment via purchase order for customers on the Enterprise plan, with an annual commitment.”

That is, if you want to use a purchase order to pay for our $10/month service, yes we can do that. It will cost $3,600.

Some organisations realise at that point that they can in fact pay with a credit card after all. Others accept that they are in fact an Enterprise for the simple reason that that is how they behave. Those ones are used to this happening and generally move forward.

Reliable mail deliverability is no small problem, however, and one that by and large has already been solved by other providers.

If a new competitor enters this market that competitor will have to solve this problem again without being able to provide an additional benefit to customers.

So, building your own email delivery infrastructure - even if by merely using existing cloud-based infrastructure such as AWS SES - might prove to be an uphill battle.

It might still be worth it though in order to remain independent of third parties.

Ask HN: Modestly priced mobile SDKs for 1 to 1 customer support messaging?
I am trying to incorporate a real time messaging customer support system into my mobile app for users to contact me right away and chat with me in real time for any issues. This is a fairly common feature of many websites, I am not sure of the marketing name but it's that small pop up that allows you to instantly message a support person and chat with them without necessarily being registered. I would like something similar for my app. I have been googling but I don't think I am using the right terms because I am stumbling upon a lot of solutions which allow regular chat like person to person but not any for person to app master for support..

Ideally the solution would have a centralized access point like an app or web site for me to view and reply to my messages.. although I am not strict on it, I would also like to be able to receive a notification evertime a new massage arrives so that I don't have to constantly check for new messages.. is there such a solution out there, or will I have to implement this from scratch?

>> Not just axioms, but all mathematical proofs are not testable by science.

> By virtue of being derived from axioms?

No, but by virtue of not being able to perform scientific observation on a mathematical proof. Math has no color, smell, taste, feel, nor affect on other material objects from which we can observe.

> "1 + 9 = 10" is not a claim about reality

This is wrong. If "1 + 9 = 10" is true and truth is that which pertains to reality, then "1 + 9 = 10" is a claim about reality albeit a mathematical one (i.e. science is not the only way to talk about reality). I'd agree that it's not a claim about PHYSICAL reality though.

>> It would be a category error to test all religious claims with science

> Why?

Because not all religious claims are claims about physical reality, some are about moral reality. Just like "1 apple + 9 apples = 10 apples" is not a claim about physical reality, but is an application of mathematics to physical reality, "You must not steal" is not a claim about physical reality, but is an application of morals to persons in physical reality.

Moral claims are not testable by science. It would be a categorical error to try to discover the color, smell, taste, feel, or affect of morality.

> How do you decide whether a given claim made by a religion is a scientific claim? Is it "not scientific" just because they say so? Or is there come criterion by which to distinguish scientific religious claims from "not scientific" religious claims?

If you can perform direct or indirect physical observation to verify a religious claim, then it is a claim that science can deal with.
