A bit more detail on some Red Hat experiences:

I had reserved -M for security labels, to be compatible with Trusted Irix, and I think this was clear in the source code at the time. I intended to avoid any additional library dependency if possible, because ps is a critical tool that must not break. If I couldn't manage without a weird SELinux library, then I'd dlopen() it only if needed.

Red Hat swiped both -Z and Z, giving them the same meaning. For at least one of those, probably -Z but this was a long time ago, my plans were to use it for being compatible with a different feature of another OS. There are only 52 possible command option letters, not counting weirdness like non-ASCII and punctuation, and most are already taken. Now 3 of them, almost 6% of the possible space, are redundantly dedicated to an obscure feature. An added annoyance was that -Z got wrongly thrown into ps's list of POSIX-standard options, which can affect parsing in subtle ways.

One day I discovered this as it was being shipped in RHEL.

A more recent and amusing issue is with the recent storm of security bugs that hit procps. They actually predate my involvement with procps, likely going all the way back to the early 1990s. I ended up getting notice. I responded on the Bugzilla, correcting some misunderstandings and pointing out better ways to fix the problems. I even do software security work these days, professionally, so I would be the ultimate expert on security bug fixes for procps. My helpfulness got me blocked from looking at the Bugzilla and then Red Hat proceeded to ship slightly bone-headed patches for the security problems. BTW, last I checked there were still DoS vulnerabilities because Red Hat ignored my advice. Turning the 32-bit value into a 64-bit value may prevent an integer wrap-around exploit, but that just means the system will swap until the OOM killer strikes. The value should have stayed 32-bit, with protection added to avoid even approaching such a large value. You probably don't even need more than 17-bit. The stuff with escape expansion is also bad, differently. Instead of papering over the problem, the math should have been corrected.
You can vehemently disagree.

" Gradations are possible, and the way you achieve them is by strategically choosing the terms of engagement."

In my experience, you are simply wrong.
You don't get to actually make this happen. You may want it to happen, and i agree it would be very nice. But it is also unrealistic, in the same way lots of polarizing things are but shouldn't be.
So you may not like that dichotomy, but in my experience, it is the practical effect.

I'd love to see your examples of projects that are both fairly successful and choose somewhere along the gradient you have in mind.
> No HATEOAS? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HATEOAS

HATEOAS is not a standard nora specification. It's a basic part of the REST architecture style.

> "When designing a hypermedia API [per HATEOAS standards], you're really designing for a client that does not, and will never, exist."

I don't believe this is factual or even conceivable. Arguably, OData speficies a standard that designs clients and servers that are full-on REST (per HATEOAS standards) and it does exist and is used in the wild for some years now.

Additionally, there are other standards and specs that do help to implement full-on REST, such as HAL or JSON-LD.

I'd be curious how ETS does on that problem. The Erlang efficiency guide says an ETS table takes:

> Initially 768 words + the size of each element (6 words + the size of Erlang data). The table grows when necessary.

This might be too large if there's a ton of them, but perhaps a single table per node could be workable? In particular, ordered_set tables with write_concurrency have been improved a lot on Erlang/OTP-22:

OTP-15128 Application(s): erts, stdlib

ETS option write_concurrency now also affects and
improves the scalability of ordered_set tables. The
implementation is based on a data structure called
contention adapting search tree, where the lock
granularity adapts to the actual amount of concurrency
exploited by the applications in runtime.

I've been to quite a few Aldis and the flow in all of them is that the items get scanned and immediately placed in a cart, then there's a separate bagging area (a large counter along the wall near the exit door, a couple feet across from the cashier section) to actually move the items from your cart into your bags however you please. Are there Aldi stores which don't work like this? I can't imagine trying to bag fast enough to keep up with the cashiers...

Lidl do have some shortcomings.

Other than a couple of wobbly bicycle racks out the front of the local store, Lidl UK are entirely car-orientated, in every aspect from location of the store to making pedestrians walk through the car park without pavements. That surprised me for a European chain.

My other main gripe with Lidl is that they don't do home delivery. I'm not going to walk 25 minutes to their store, dice with cars and then haul groceries home when Tesco will bring shopping into my kitchen for £4.

What's the difference? Developers can only leverage existing technology if they are aware they exist, and unfortunately specs such as the "home document for HTTP APIs" draft aren't publicized that often, so developers tend to waste time reinventing the wheel.

> Additionally, this would be more useful it contained (I didn’t see any from my phone) links to example implementations or discussions about the RFC.

Typically specs already include examples. For example, picking up again the "home document for HTTP APIs" draft, section 2 starts off with a clear example of such a document.

Bingo. This is it.

OP's hatred of San Francisco blinded him to the simple truth.
I've had the idea for some time that the US government could easily expand nuclear generating capacity by simply passing a law providing for a nuclear reactor, operated and maintained by US Navy personnel, to power every military base on US territory. Any excess power produced by the plants would be sold to the commercial grid at prevailing rates, or even at a slight discount. The program would probably pay for itself.

Ask HN: How to hire a startup business executive?
We are a technology startup founded by engineers that has reached an inflection point. We have a feature-rich product, customers in three countries, organic revenue growth, very strong partnerships with major companies, a strong engineering team, and an innovative roadmap. In the next month some of our marketing channels will kick in and further drive growth.

We have reached a point where we need a business leader to manage growth with external parties. This means managing partner relationships, roadmap planning, customer on-boarding, customer support, incident management, and day-to-day operations. The idea is that the business executive would focus externally while we focus internally on technology and engineering delivery.

Does HN have any advice on how a group of engineers can hire someone for this role, and where to look? We are looking for someone to become a partner and co-owner in the business that can drive us forward.

The first batch of Huawei phones to get Android Q
As a JavaScript developer I strongly resonate with the quote at 14:50 into the video. In summary all of the silicon industrys' chips at the time were full of defects and often the same defects between various vendors. The industry was completely aware of this. The problem is that the original generation of chips were designed by old guys who figured it out. The current generation of chips (at that time) was designed by youngsters working in the shadow of the prior generation and not asking the right questions because they were not aware of what those questions were.

A decade ago JavaScript developers had little or no trouble working cross browser, writing small applications, and churning out results that work reasonably well very quickly. It isn't that cross browser compatibility had been solved, far from it, but that you simply worked to the problem directly and this was part of regular testing.

That older generation did not have the benefit of helpful abstractions like jQuery or React. They had to know what the APIs were and they worked to them directly. The biggest problem with this is that there weren't many people who could do this work well. Then shortly after the helpful abstractions appeared and suddenly there was an explosion of competent enough developers, but many of these good enough developers did not and cannot work without their favorite abstractions. These abstractions impose a performance penalty, increase product size, impose additional maintenance concerns, and complicate requirements.

The ability to work below the abstractions is quickly becoming lost knowledge. Many commercial websites load slower now than they did 20 years ago despite radical increases in connection speeds. To the point of the video this loss of knowledge is not static and results in degrading quality over time that is acceptable to later generations of developers who don't know the proper questions to ask.

The flight computer responses were ones that help ensure that the airplane remains in safe maneuvering range when air movement suddenly shifts around.

For example, a sudden encounter with wind shear might push an otherwise well-trimmed aircraft into just that kind of move, and the FBW computer would be expected to compensate.

In this case, the "eyes and ears" of flight computers failed in ways that were unknown to designers and thus bypassed safety measures against their failure.

> most countries that use nuclear power don't reprocess

Most countries don't reprocess spent nuclear fuel immediately on removing it from the reactor. They store it until it is economical to reprocess it--because reprocessing turns most of the spent fuel into new fuel. So of course it doesn't make sense to reprocess it until doing so is cheaper than just buying new fuel on the market.

The point of reprocessing is not to get rid of all the waste immediately, but to reduce the required storage time from something totally unrealistic like 10,000 years to something totally realistic like 30 to 50 years--in other words, enough time for the market price of new fuel to exceed the cost of reprocessing the spent fuel you have stored. In other words, reprocessing is simply part of a sane long-term plan for the nuclear fuel cycle. But of course the people who are against nuclear power are not against it for sane reasons, so you wouldn't expect them to understand a sane long-term plan.
I hadn't really read it at that point. It more seemed like a too big achievement for me to believe that anyone could solve.

One issue with their approach I found while causally browsing is

"for the proof against active adversaries, we assume that there exists a public-key infras-tructure (PKI), which guarantees to users that messages they receive came from other users (and not the server). Without this assumption, the server can perform a Sybil attack on the users in RoundShareKeys"

Basically assume there is some trustworthy entity that solves Sybil attacks. I don't think such an entity exists. So question is how they solve that in practice.

For those with money to burn on custom flooring, the Voronoi transform of the rhombic Penrose tiling is lovely. From the Penrose tiling, you get that neat non-repeating pattern. From the Voronoi transform, you get something less likely to hurt your feet or get chipped-off corners.

I suggest quartzite or pearly white granite, with pink granite for the pentagons.

The pattern should also work nicely for driveways and showers, likely with different material. The feel in a shower should be almost as nice as hexagon tile, and it is possible to put perfect 5-way symmetry around a pentagonal drain hole.
