I like the idea of multi-cloud very much, kudos to the author for pushing for it.

One crucial issue that isn't addressed by a hexagonal architecture however is data egress charges.

Data egress is the gravity of the cloud services world, and it's are an insurmountable barrier for many services. The moment you start planning a multi-cloud deploy, and start looking at shifting services that are tightly coupled, or require data replication (databases, logs, storage) between clouds, you're going from low or no cost data charges, to paying egress on -both sides- of every transaction.

I know first-hand that these costs can quickly out weigh any disaster recovery / eggs in one basket argument you might put forward. It even dominates an "this cloud provider will probably be our competitor in 2 years or is our competitor right now" argument, and my guess is data egress has strongly contributed to companies like Netflix continuing to use AWS.
Inside of Schengen you don't need ID to fly unless your airline requires it (many LCCs do to prevent ticket reselling). I've flown SAS without ever showing ID - just scanning my eTicket barcode at security and the gate.

(You are required to carry ID when visiting another Schengen country, but it is not checked by airports like for extra-Schengen flights)

What about "because it's fun"?

There used to be a typical response hackers would use when asked why they built something nerdy but ultimately pointless which went "because I can."

That equally applies here. Some people build model railways, others like to solve crosswords or sudokus. I like my railways to be computing infra and puzzles to be software problems. It's the same kind of enjoyment but playing with different toys.
As I recall, most of my engineer professors used transparencies and overhead projectors.
The fact that so many Wall Street types flocked to these cryptos solely because it is/was an unregulated market that they could manipulate speaks volumes about what it really is.
Meaningful is debatable? You're just replicating, and taking all your pride from someone else's achievements.

It might be pleasurable, but it's a biological response to get you to nurture your children, rather than an objectively meaningful one.
>there must be something more to life

Why? I'm not claiming there isn't, or that there is, but it does seem plausible to me that we're just part of a recursive function in the universe that came about due to chance and will last as long as the boundary conditions allow us to.

Perhaps what makes people think they are special or that there "must" be a greater reason for their existence is the portion of their brain which is programmed (by chance) to tell them so, in order to facilitate the aforementioned recursion by securing resources, attracting a mate, and furthering the recursion. Some call it ego.

> but it’s frankly as though women have some sort of “life-tax” attached that we men don’t

Men require more calories throughout their lives, meaning higher food bills, and usually die sooner as a result of that. Men also contribute far more tax revenue on average than women anyway. It's silly to try to boil down something that's incredibly nuanced just based on one experience you've had.

Sharks have been around for 350 million years or more (depending on how inclusive you are), and 'modern' sharks have been around for 100 million years (or longer, depending on what counts as modern), but evolution within that family (if that's the right taxonomic rank) has been going on pretty much continuously, as in most families. Great Whites are relative newcomers, ~16 million years ago.

This example [1] of hybridization in the wild has the potential for eventually leading to a new species.

I encountered this problem very recently as well. I like receiving notifications for Breaking News but I don't need notifications for lifestyle suggestions. Unfortunately there is no classifier for this in the News App. My workaround was to go into the settings for News and turn off notifications for every media outlet other than the New York Times. It's definitely not fool-proof but keeps more sane.

There however seems to be no way to automatically get rid of notifications on my iPad once I have read them on my phone...

I'm not sure that's true. Giving C++ 30 years has resulted in the things identified in the article. (In particular, giving auto_ptr 20+ years hasn't resulted in anything that really fixes the problem.) It is not clear to me that it's moving in the right direction, so I don't think more time will help. C++ is definitely ahead in popularity but is neither ahead not obviously aimed in the right direction in safety.

Giving Rust about ten years has resulted in significant growth in popularity and tooling, including attempts to write new implementations of the language (e.g., mrustc), so given more time and in particular given more production users, it seems reasonable to expect it will figure all those things out.

Asthma Treatment

Asthma considered as chronic disease relating lung air passage ways, bronchial tubes. Its long term lung disease inflames and narrows airways & affects people of all ages. More than 25 million people are known to have problem. In described condition airways that carry air in lungs swelled, react strongly to certain inhaled substances leads less air flow and make more mucus than usual causes various respiratory problems.
Asthma Causes

Main asthma causes can be genetic, environmental, allergic but fundamental asthma cause still unknown. Strongest asthma cause considered genetic predisposition with environmental exposure combination and other respiratory tract ailments. Common asthma causes create allergies are house dust, pet dander, pollens, moulds, tobacco smoke, chemical irritants in workplace and air pollution. Emotional asthma causes encircles cold air, extreme anger or fear, and physical exercise. Even certain medications considered important asthma causes like aspirin, beta-blockers. DNA sequence inherited is prominence asthma causes.

I feel like ever book ive ever read, on any programming language, makes me immediately want to pound my head into my desk. Nothing against the author, its just so clear that as it pertains to programming, being good at programming, and the teaching of it never come hand in hand. Same goes for real life, some of the best data scientists I work with, cant for the life of them explain concepts, and then the ones who are great at explaining it, can rarely execute with the same eloquence.

"The type of data about people kept in SIS includes (...)"
So it is not a complete list, and the listed entries are just an excerpt:

- requests for extradition
- undesirability of presence in particular territory
- minor age
- mental illnesses (!!!)
- missing person status
- a need for protection
- requests by a judicial authority
- and suspected of crime.

The SIS also keeps data referring to lost, stolen and misappropriated

- firearms
- identity documents
- motor vehicles
- banknotes
- (...)

I find the entry re mental illnesses very peculiar. I am curious how the total data structure looks like.

Not sure how it is in the US, but it seems that there is a right of access for each EU citizien to the SIS database[1], e.g. in Germany, citizens have a direct right of access by contacting

>I was going to make a joke about children being ideal chimney sweeps,

Their small hands are great for working on modern cars (especially the electrical connectors with tabs that are hard for sausage fingers to manipulate).

When you're carrying something heavy they can make every door open automatically.

They also make great confined space welders.

All the energy they have makes them great for manual labor too. The manual labor has the side benefit of making them less picky eaters and better at sleeping.

Kids are great for helping with all sorts of around the house projects too. Having a helper is an invaluable force multiplier.

Edit: Why is this opinion not acceptable here? Are kids supposed to stare at a screen for every waking hour not consumed with school work?

Show HN: Create a Marriage Registry (More Important Than a Wedding Registry)
What everyone is really waiting for is when the Microsoft research voice changer is finally production ready and there will be a service to call whoever you want(parents/significant other) and just pretend to be interested in what they tell you. If scheduling comes up pretend to need to sync the calendar and if anything really hard surfaces feign a work call/ cell phone trouble. People will feels much more loved and suddenly nobody will get enough of your favorite stories. As not to denigrate anyone I will provide examples of these calls made to myself. I can already picture how good it would work on me.

Disrupted how in this case?

Lawyers usually use forms / boilerplate because they have worked in the past. Many of these forms are the sum total of thousands of hours of time and refinement over tens of years. Nobody wants to pay a lawyer to reproduce that -- at least, nobody in retail law (big corporate settlement contracts? Those see many many hours of revision and negotion, but ultimately are still based on a core form that rarely changes).

I agree that a copy+paste job seems like you are getting cheated. But like an engineer, a lawyer isn't charging you for typing, or turning a screwdriver. They are charging for knowing what contract you need, etc.

What's honestly shocking right now are the alternatives. What LegalZoom gave my friend to start an LLC would have been malpractice had it come from an actual lawyer. (But surprise! You can't sue legal zoom as easily for that thing as you can a lawyer).

Imo what really needs to go is hourly billing. But that's another conversation, and a really hard problem.
I experienced something very similar. I was living in the UK and was asked to help admin a local forum. It only had around 3000 users, but it was very active. There was one fellow who kept posting long rambling rants about all sorts, conspiracy theories, espousing racist views, taking pleasure in mocking members who lost a relative etc. After repeatedly banning him we got a plugin to make him invisible to everyone bar mods and admins.

He kept posting his long angry rants for a year before he realised what was going on. To say he was upset would be an understatement. I'm sure he tried to track down the site owners and admins, but we were very careful to maintain anonymity. So he went after regular members, he managed to figure out where some of them lived and worked by analysing their posting. One day he posted the names and address of a lot of the forums top posters.

Of course at that point the police were called in. The guy was tracked down via his IP address, he made no attempt to hide his activities. We did send occasional abuse reports to his ISP before this happened and they were always ignored.

He was charged with harassment and ended up with 100 hours of community service and a £150 fine. A pitifully small punishment given the fear he caused and that he did not show any remorse. If anything he seemed annoyed that he got caught. Apparently, in his first Police interview he argued that he was merely exercising his right to freedom of speech and was surprised when the police told him that such a right did not exist in the UK.

Some people have anger issues, some people have real mean streaks. Forums attract these kind and can encourage them to act their worst. If someone goes too far and starts to make people feel personally threatened or tries to ruin a business then I don't see the problem with them facing a severe penalty when caught.
I am merely stating a vulnerability not recommending an action
Unless money is needed for bare survival, it's almost always a proxy / an abstraction for social/peer recognition.

There are fields where you can get plenty of social recognition directly without making money. For example arts and performances or anything where you express yourself in a way that is accessible to others (for me personally it's making and playing music).

Software / Hardware unfortunately isn't one of these fields because chances are that either your new project is so niche that only very few people get it or because the people who do get it are not the types you are seeking recognition from.

So there's nothing wrong with looking for monetization strategies for new side projects. It's just a way to know if others appreciate what you've built, especially in fields where social recognition outside of monetization is a difficult affair.

It's all relative to something. During the Wall Street crash in 1929, Dow fell down only ~30%. Bitcoin lost ~70% from the peak. It's definitely a bust. (as in fall in value / no growth) You could say instead that it's just back to normal value after a period of abnormal pricing - but then what kind of asset has so much uncertainty that people can pump up the price 4-5x for months?
40 years of security vulnerabilities in C and C++ code is plenty of evidence to condemn those languages as unfit for most purposes.

The evidence is overwhelming that it is not possible to write non-trivial C or C++ that is safe in the face of adversarial input. Microsoft, Google, Oracle, Linus, etc. have all tried for decades and failed miserably. All the resources and expertise in the world still results in unsafe software when C and C++ are used.
That's a quite peculiar definition of "troll". Why can't somebody have a particular focus on a certain type of news/discussion? Your comments read much more like trolling.
If you are a software entrepreneur, raising money by selling digital assets (“tokens”) is a legitimate option that flips VC on its head with instant liquidity and value based on the success of the network.

Ethereum raised $15 million to fund their network, which now has a market cap around $18 billion.

Cosmos launched their mainnet yesterday, and now has a market cap over $1 billion. All of the employees can exit if they choose, who were given tokens rather than illiquid stock.

To be perfectly honest, this is a much fairer system for the average employee at a startup than our current ISO situation, where employees are diluted, forced to pay ridiculous AMT taxes on exercise, and basically screwed by the founders.

Not sure if anyone else remembers it as fondly, but one of my all time favorite online Art experiences was Ryder Ripps' Dump.fm. Just infinite scrolling chat. With endless streams of animated gifs.

> Structure the code in a way such that it is obvious what happens. Use "semantic compression" (e.g. be clear about your concepts and factor them in free standing functions), but don't overabstract/overengineer.

This sounds little different from "write good code, don't write bad code." I'm sure we all agree on these things, but I'm sure the people who write terrible code weren't trying to be unclear or trying to overengineer.

> Eliminate special cases. If the code has few branches and data dependendencies, then successful manual testing gives already high confidence that it will be pretty robust in production.

True enough, but that's so much easier in a language with sum types.

> Prefer global allocations (buffers with the same lifetime as the process), not local state. This also makes for much clearer code, since it avoid heavy plumbing / indirections.

That's a pretty controversial viewpoint, since it makes composition impossible (indeed taken to its logical extreme this would mean never writing a library, whereas the grandparent was convinced that more use of libraries was the way to write good code).

> I tend to think that modern programming language features mostly enable us to stay longer with bad structure. And when you hit the next road block, fixing that will be correspondingly harder.

Interesting; that's the opposite of my experience. I find modern language features mostly guide us down the path that most of us already agreed was good programming style, enforcing things that were previously only rules of thumb (and that we had to resist the temptation to bend when things got tricky). And so the modern language forces you to solve problems properly rather than hacking a workaround, and the further you scale the more that will help you.

How much did it get?
>>> import logging
>>> logging.info('Hello, world!')
>>> # right, my log message went nowhere

Because by default, logging goes nowhere. And if you configure logging - using a most unintuitive config format (it's so weird that even the documentation about it can't be bothered to use it, but reverts to yaml to explain what it means!) - there's a good chance that loggers created before you got around to configure it (for instance if you, God forbid, made the mistake of adhering to PEP-8 and sticking your import statements at the top) won't use your configuration - and thus send their log messages, again, nowhere.

Also, it's slow as hell.
