Scaleway is one such provider. They call it not virtualization but physicalisation.

I should add that AWS has "dedicated instances" which are exclusive to one customer. They are more expensive than standard instances but they are used by e.g. the better financial services companies for handling customer data.

The third principle of Continuous Delivery is "If something is difficult or painful, do it more often".

So, if leapseconds are actually painful for you, then maybe we need to contemplate making this kind of adjustment on a finer timescale, like milliseconds.

OTOH, if you think leapseconds are painful now, just you wait until you postpone this pain and do it even less frequently.
Roundabouts are better for car-car crashes: there are fewer of them and they tend to be less serious— rear-enders where there's lots of crumple protection instead of T-bones like a conventional intersection.

However, they're much, much worse for people walking and cycling.

> there isn't anything wrong with the behavior given the right training.

The behaviour without MCAS on 737 MAX is that minimal movements of pilot’s controls effectively activate what would be considered “amplification” of nose up movement, resulting in an uncontrollable plane and sure crash.

It’s definitely not something that pilots or passengers should be exposed to: being punished for approaching more dangerous position by plane forcing a deadly outcome.

Training pilots to not to move even minimally the controls in the “wrong” direction is maybe technically possible but in practice still totally wrong: It’s comparable to what Boeing told everybody before Ethiopian crash, and their attempts to blame the pilots. In reality, the pilots had almost no chance to rescue themselves and the plane.

In engineering the “positive feedback loops” (amplification of control inputs) are bad the “negative feedback loops” (correction of the input) are good.

The functioning MCAS provides a correction. The plane without MCAS amplification. Badly functioning MCAS also amplification and crash. That's why the wrong behavior was regulated, and that's why it had to be fulfilled for the certification. It’s that easy.

To convince me that 737 MAX without the "properly functioning MCAS" isn't inherently dangerous under higher angles of attack you'd have to provide some explicit proofs.
A small point, but I noticed that they listed Linux build instructions before Windows in the README. Yes, it's irrelevant (they are in alphabetical order after all) but MS of a few years back would have been much pettier about something like that.
I fully believe that the principle of proximity is the main design tool (though contrast in size helps, of course). You could forget about color and still lay out things clearly and beautifully.

The primary rule is incredibly simple, as mentioned in the article: there should be more space around an element than inside of it―then the eye will perceive the element as cohesive.

This, then, is applied on all levels of a layout: letter shapes and kerning, line spacing, headers and paragraphs spacing, blocks layout, page margins. Even architecture uses this principle―not too surprisingly, since it just describes the workings of visual perception.

Beginner designers sometimes try to remember a bunch of rules for optimal line spacing, header and paragraph spacing, page margins, etc. They can go for years not knowing why particular proportions work, and if elements change they begin to calculate this stuff anew in pixels, or just get lost as to what to do now. Meanwhile, if you go to the principles, you learn to see the proximity, and all spacing becomes obvious to you.

P.S. A bit ironic that the article uses line spacing too close to double. By the way, on Macs and phones, Matthew Butterick's ‘Practical Typography’ website is absolutely perfect in both spacing and contrast, at least with the default Valkyrie font. I'm immeasurably envious of this feat, as I have no idea how to achieve such mastery. Link: https://practicaltypography.com

This hurts on a personal level. While it is a very convenient thing if you are a solo developer, it can easily become a pain on a team, where some engineers care about code quality noticeably less than others and non-developers (e.g., PMs) get involved.

The community since then has grown by leaps and bounds. Good to see the Pyro team still out there making a great CMS.

Lol, your user name 'docker_up' reminds me of a hard-ass man espousing the masculinity trope of 'manning up' or 'MAN UP!' to some sniveling coworkers in an alternate business domain, but basically having your same attitude.
The larger your company is the more costly it is to do something even as simple as a static html page. That's because everything that goes out to the public has to be subject to a heavy review process. You're not being paid to write an html page you're being paid to shepherd new information to the public. That's why you can never just estimate cost only on how hard you think it would be to do the task you need to get enough information about the customer's process to understand how much work its going to take not just to complete the task but to shepherd it through their review process and the larger the company the more layers of review and process they are likely to have.
The extra 15% (greenshoe) is covered either way, because they can buy it at the IPO price from founders if the stock goes up. Here we're talking about an additional exposure beyond that 15% that is not protected against losses.
Yeah, maybe I wasn't paying attention, but I didn't see any people protecting ISIS's free speech. Now that this censorship is targeting other hate speech, suddenly everyone is shouting "free speech". The fact is, most people calling for free speech don't truly believe in it, they just want to be able to spout their own version of hate.
New York City agrees with you.
You bring up another thing: small towns are not actually "rural". Rural is when you literally cannot walk to a store in less than an hour to get food. Small towns really aren't that different from cities, just at a smaller scale. Things are still close together (in fact, usually they're more dense than suburbs) and walkable, if the town was laid out before the rise of the automobile. Of course, they have big downsides as you point out: everyone knows everyone so there's little anonymity, and on top of that there aren't many jobs.
Leap years have pretty straightforward rules for when they happens. Approximately every 4 years, expect on 100 years, except on 400 years. Leap seconds on the other hand happen at the whim of the IERS

Life is about evaluating risk. You need to learn it at some point. A playground is as good a place as any.

By all means, make them safe enough that kids won't get maimed or killed - but keeping kids from ever falling far enough to feel any real pain is probably counter- productive in the long term.

Sigh. My eldest kid's kindergarten advertised themselves as an outdoor experience thingy, then proceeded to cut down every tree on their premises as kids climbed them (the horrors!) and occasionally fell down (Aaaieee!) - so better make the playground look like any generic McPlayground.

The latest WIRED magazine had some truly mind-boggling articles in this vein.

https://www.wired.com/story/synthetic-biology-vaccines-virus...

This guy (a renowned smallpox researcher) was able to synthesize a cousin of smallpox (horsepox) using commercially/publicly-accessible tools and resources. He did this to try and create a new/better smallpox vaccine, because he believes that motivated actors will be able to synthesize smallpox in the next 20 years, and that the world needs to be ready with better vaccines for the same. His team's resulting publication ("we made smallpox, this is the gist of how") was met with strongly negative responses.

The gist of these articles is that while synthesizing functioning viruses/microorganisms was possible in the past (TFA says the first "synthetic" organism was made in 2010), it's much easier/faster/cheaper to do so today, when crispr techniques/tools are more generally wielded and better-understood.

Cool/scary stuff!

Yes. Leap seconds are there to align UTC (an atomic time) with UT1, which is defined based on mean solar time, ie "the day", since UT1 isn't uniform.

Without leap seconds, UTC will slowly drift out of sync with the Earth's rotation.

I'd be curious to see how much increased speeds increase capacity if people actually maintained a safe following distance.

The rule of thumb is to stay ~2 seconds behind the car in front, which means the distance obviously increases linearly with speed. If you're 75 feet back at 30mph, you should be 150ft back at 60mph.

Synthetic Silviculture: Multi-Scale Modeling of Plant Ecosystems
The only anecdote I can share about this comes from the time my family was touring a local day camp. On the tour, they showed us everything: archery, fishing, swimming, ropes, and everything else you could think of. At one point, we came to a massive, 10 foot high pile of dirt. The kids immediately ran for the dirt pile and the parents' reactions were a 50/50 mix of "Awesome" or "What are you building here?" I knew this was the camp for my kid when they explained, the pile of dirt was just that. A big pile of dirt for the kids to play in. It complemented the big pile of rocks that they also had.
`hnprofile.com` seems a bit creepy. Per-individual "Probable Mood" value, "mood" value on given topic, "Overall Mood Over Time" chart, "Activity per Hour of Day" chart, "Mood per Hour of Day" chart.

It would be good if we could have a place to discuss topics of importance, without others leeching off that to analyze everyone personally. And without having to decide whether we should sanitize, and play to metrics, for the benefit of recruiters for metrics-oriented risk-averse bureaucratic big corps.

Incidentally, apparently I am "Tense discussing racket 8 days ago" (judge for yourself: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19835526 ). It also looks like I'm maybe posting during work (I don't). And one of the charts shows punctuated "negative mood" over time. Is this comment one of those negative mood instances?

I suppose hnprofile.com is good, in that it exposes to us some of what others are presumably doing secretly. And maybe that should prompt us to figure out how to improve the situation.
gVisor has unsafe modes of operation, too. What I'm saying is that this is not a good example of "Container breakout", as it was just a misconfiguration, not an exploit.

"people are extremely creative and will find ways around everything" is not an excuse - it's a matter of risk management and threat modelling.

Escaping from a VM or gVisor is much, much harder than escaping from Linux namespaces ("containers") due to the MUCH smaller amount of attack surface/amount of exposed code. Using Linux containers in an untrusted multi-tenant environment is very dangerous, especially if you're a high profile cloud provider, which is why all of these projects exist.

It would be interesting to see which of the FAANG are the "stickiest" in terms of staying on the front page. I've noticed negative stories about a few select tech companies get flagged(?) off the front page very quickly, sometimes disappearing in under an hour, while others stick around for many, many hours. The lack of transparency behind a story's page rank is one of my least favorite parts of HN. There are a few posts out there on the algorithm behind it, but I'm not sure how accurate they are nowadays.
My kids love that playground. Sure you hold your breath when you see them from afar (no parents allowed in) messing around with a sharp saw, but it's worth it. A great space.

Thanks for this clear description. It feels like in this case they made a naked short out of fear but with a hedge. "As long as we don't lose more than 100M if it pops, we'd straddled the fence quite nicely. We make money either way and have some ability to protect people buying it at $45." They don't want to stop doing IPOs so this is the only perspective that makes sense to me.

Linux Container Creation in Rust
Someone who uses Kubernetes on a daily basis here.

The visualisation thing looks like a nice to have feature, but nothing a K8s administrator can't live without. What's really interesting is the yaml generator tool. This is something that would significantly improve my productivity if only it were a little bit more uses friendly. Building new deployments/jobs/resources in general involves a lot of 'kubectl explain' invocations and documentation searching, not to mention the painful experience of making sure the yaml is properly indented. This tool has a lot of potential when it comes to improving that experience, but it would have to be simpler and faster, e.g. remove the popup windows after clicking "plus" and instead have a panel at the bottom of the screen. Do something to remove the extra clicks when adding nested items, maybe a tree-list structure with quick-add option? I mean, after you get accustomed with all the fields you don't even need the description anymore, you just want to add new attributes and assign values to them.
My son's school was in the city and went to a local playground. The main play structure was so high (about 20-25' at the top) that it took a couple months for my kindergarten-aged son to muster the courage to climb it. Even though it's been almost seven years, I still remember his immense pride at conquering that fear and climbing to the top for the first time.
Some things are very hard to measure objectively, though, despite being real. (Anything subject to chaos theory, for sure.)

I mix records. I use two different sets of monitors for mixing - a pair of Tannoy System 12 DMT monitors (equivalent would cost about $4000; they were very popular in hip-hop studios back in the '90s), and a more modern pair of Focal Alpha 50 powered monitors (about $800/pair new). Both monitors are quality professional gear. In terms of frequency response, they're both quite flat, although the big Tannoys have more bass extension.

They don't sound anything alike.

I find the Focals much more useful and predictable for the critical listening of mixing. They're also more tiring to listen to for extended periods. They're brutal, especially for transients and the very leading edge of sounds. I don't trust mixing on the Tannoys. But if I want to listen to music, rather than mix, I'll take the Tannoys any day. They treat transients more gently, and make for a much more pleasant, euphonic experience.

Internet audiophile wannabes will then tell me I'm hearing distortion. Which is nonsense. Two speakers say the same thing in different ways, and the differences are very, very difficult to measure - but they are nonetheless quite real and plainly audible.

My neighborhood has such a road. It's a road that is a collector road between two highways and a residential road outside of those two highways. However the total width of the road is approximately the same, despite there being more lanes in the collector portion.

I've actually seen cars slow-down when moving from the 25MPH zone to the 45MPH zone due to the greatly reduced shoulder area in the 45MPH zone, but most cars go about 35-40MPH on both sections.
