Thx. Yes, NGNIX will not be able to balance HTTP/2 traffic based on HTTP headers. But HAProxy 2.0 can.

In our case, we are not un-encrypting at the load balancer, so we cannot see the HTTP headers anyway. Instead we use NGINX to load-balance based on TCP-level info.
I'm not sure you fully understand, or maybe it's me that misunderstands what you're saying :)

Each utility generally has its own black-start procedures. One utility might start two diesel generators (only really used for black-start) and then slowly start energizing the path to various loads and other generators. That utility and it's parent RTO/ISO train on that scenario several times a year and have the procedure printed in a binder within reach.

Something I've found interesting is that many of these plans are ~35 years old and we're created before computers were super common place for these kinds of things. The point being people weren't doing graph and optimization algorithms to determine the optimal paths. There has been a little university research and national lab research into this recently and I've heard they've helped certain utilities that they worked with determine some improvements, which is always exciting.
> we're able to design nuclear weapons without ever testing them in meatspace

Perhaps you are forgetting about all the nuclear weapons testing that was carried out in the 40's 50's and 60's ? (The last tests by USA and USSR, took place in the early 90's.)

This website is the only place I ever hear complaints about supposed counterfeits or excessive low quality products on Amazon. I feel like it's not as much of a real issue as it's made out to be, especially to the average person. Personally I still use Amazon regularly and have no real complaints.

Yes. As a programmer, the ability to comfortably code at 2pm or 2am is important. The article mentioned this, but most coders I know don't use dark mode for some perceived mental boost.
Costco (which, btw also has an incredibly cheap deliver option which is NOT a subscription)

Don't you have to subscribe to Costco in the first place? Or is Costco letting just anyone shop there now? It's been a lot of years since I let my Costco subscription ("membership") lapse.

Ask HN: How to learn about problems of other industries?
There are 100s of businesses, I'm only familiar with the one I'm in. For ideas, i need to know about problems that exist then to brainstorm and analyze. But I can't do that if i have no idea what's happening. So how can I learn about more industries. Go To businesses and ask them to let me sit there for no reason?
Sears had a line of stores back in the early 90's like that. Everything in the store was a display and you took around a little clipboard. Name escapes me, maybe just a so-cal thing.
But does bloated CSS matter?

If a human isn't going to read the CSS and the computer handles it without performance problem, I say no.

Those are of course two quite important ifs!

Could it be a pre-emptive political move to avoid scrutiny from governments where the content that was streamed (Christchurch shooting, some illegal pornography) is illegal? Also, I'm pretty sure they know some of the perpetrators but are probably still building a case. A few years ago they pinpointed the heads of a viewbotting operation and successfully took legal action. I could see them finding a few people to make an example out of, honestly.
This may be necessary to determine the identities of the actual people they want to sue, like to enable a subpoena to the ISPs in question.

It definitely depends on your use case, so it's hard to tell what's better for you. HAProxy is solid and doesn't take a long time to get started.

At the same time, some of the HAProxy 2.0 features have already been available in Envoy and tested in production, at scale (if HAProxy provided those features, there wouldn't be a big need for Envoy). For example, Envoy is pretty extensible, has good performance and has good support for dynamic cert management (including service-to-service mutual TLS).
Even if you know what washing machine you want, that might not be the one you want to buy. An experienced salesperson will ask what you need, why you need it, and help you understand your options. They aren't there to take orders and be micromanaged.

If you want to walk in with the attitude that you know what is best, I recommend writing down what you need and why you need it in advance, so you can communicate you know what your needs are without insisting on a solution. The recommended thing may or may not be what you thought you wanted. If you can't write down your needs clearly and concisely, buying what you thought you wanted is likely to turn into an expensive waste of time for all parties.

I agree, though I might put it the other way: Amazon is less pleasant than eBay.

I've stopped using Amazon entirely, and I now get things on eBay I never thought I would back when it first started and was "the flea market of the internet"

I just want to comment that Wal-Mart isn’t “playing catch-up” to Amazon

Thanks for that thought. It made me look at the whole Amazon/Wal-Mart thing the other way around.

With all of Amazon's new standalone bookstores and miniature grocery stores, it can be seen that Amazon is playing catching up to Wal-Mart.

Honestly, I'm OK with both. Amazon for things like underpants, cat litter, and other stuff that isn't likely to be counterfeit. Wal-Mart for things that matter, like food, HABA, and the occasional last-minute flash card.

>what allowed that to flourish? total evil in men's hearts

To believe this is to be deceived. It leads to the idea that "I'm not 'totally evil,' thus I'm not at risk for doing something like this." But there were kind-hearted Nazis and black-hearted Allies, Stalin was reported to be a doting father, and some slaves struggled terribly after emancipation.

If we don't see things clearly, we put ourselves at risk of repeating the mistakes of those we disparage, though perhaps in a different form.

To be pedantic, the comment you replied to referred to apple which is neither a company nor an OS but a fruit.
At least there’s considerable variance in the problems on an IQ test so your intelligence is diversified across many problem types. The type of shit I’ve come up against in past interviews has often been essentially an all-or-nothing single problem. Which is why I now refuse technical interviews.
Honest question, doesn't the Twitch TOS have an arbitration agreement?

In my (nonlawyer) reading of their terms, it's not clear to me why this wouldn't fall under that policy. It doesn't seem to fit into any of the exceptions they list. How can Twitch file this suite before a normal judge?

Edit: Hah, another commenter found the filing, and it alleges a trademark violation. I wonder if that's in there purely so they can get this before a normal judge?
I assume this is based on local theft statistics. The one near where I grew up has receipt-checkers but the one near where I live now (nicer area) didn't have anything of the sort. Walked out after buying a bunch of big objects not in bags and nobody interrupted me.
> If programming jobs are easy to get, then companies shouldn't get to interview 10 or 15

They'll never be easy to get, even if there are a severe shortage of developers, because companies need more than just someone who can code, they need to make sure you are professional, can work with a team etc. So they need to screen people for this.

The only way for programming jobs to be easy to get (for a "person off the street") is if they are not interviewing properly. I.e. they are so deseperate to hire someone that they will hire someone who is not effective.
Yeah, xsv is great for one time tasks like this. If you're going to need to do a lot of queries, though, it's easier just to .mode csv .import in SQLite.
MLK's national "Poor People's Campaign" had tangible goals for this as well:

* $30 billion annual appropriation for a real war on poverty

* Congressional passage of full employment and guaranteed income legislation [a guaranteed annual wage]

* Construction of 500,000 low-cost housing units per year until slums were eliminated

(From here: https://www.poorpeoplescampaign.org/history/)

Some updated variation on this would still make a big impact if implemented today.

It seems the information flows to certain populations. I work for an US based company with an office in mainland China. Pretty much everyone in the office knows about the stuff happening in Hong Kong.
> Parcel is better than any of those, because does the right thing automatically.

Parcel does seem nice, because it does do a lot of things automatically. But I'm not sure that can always be "the right thing". For example it seems a bit surprising that plain js will always be compiled, to support ie11, while typescript will not.

Neither option is "always the right thing".

And as far as I could figure out, there's no easy way to target deploying to separate cdns?

Not trying to move the goal posts here, it's just that some configuration is to expected in the complex reality of the modern web stack.

And a benefit of npm is that that'll pretty much always be part of the stack anyway.

How common would you say it is for someone living in China to be able to have access to outside information / sites like you?

Does everyone mostly understand that the government censors things to such an extreme but because of a fear of being targeted choose to not say anything, or would you say that most people are actually genuinely ignorant?
“Fair” is a big word. It will likely not be fully public, for a start.

China is undoubtedly the worst offender, when it comes to the right to a fair trial; but let’s not pretend “our” countries cannot stack the deck when they feel it’s necessary.
> total evil in men's hearts

Who put it there, hmm?
Either you drive to Wal Mart and pick the stuff up, or an employee delivers them to you, potentially making multiple deliveries in the same trip. Replacing pickup with delivery is carbon neutral at worst, assuming your vehicles are equally efficient. Likely the delivery vehicle was chosen for efficiency so it's better anyway.
The idea dates back even further than that, to the failed but fascinating Keedoozle, the second venture attempted by Clarence Saunders, founder of Piggly Wiggly, after his financial ruin attempting to corner the market in his own stock.

You'd go around the store, your selections would be punched into a card, and at the front your food would be automatically delivered via conveyor belt.

I emailed just to make them aware that this happened and the hostile, "PROVE IT" type response I got was so incredible compared to Amazon's facilitation of the customer.

Wow. That's entirely the opposite experience I've had.

Twice I've had problems with my Wal-Mart orders. Both times I filled out a form online, and within an hour someone very nice from Texas (both times — I inquired about their accents) called me on the phone to not only apologize, but to replace the item at no charge and refund the price of my original purchase.

Amazon also gives exemplary customer service when things go wrong, but your Wal-Mart experience seems really out of left field.

(I had an entire Easter dinner from Whole Foods sent to someone else's house and Amazon had another delivery at my door in a little over an hour, with a $20 credit. Interestingly, Amazon won't tell you which house an order was accidentally delivered to for privacy reasons, or I just would have knocked on a neighbor's door.)
Most of the signs were in either Chinese or bilingual (English on one side, Chinese on the other). Because we are a bilingual city but also so that western media could understand what we are protesting about.

Obviously the western media used photos of protestors displaying the English side because it's easier and more convenient to explain
You require a membership, ad then you can use Costco.com.
But if there was too much bacteria it would be contaminated. It's about there being an inappropriately high amount of something.
I really want Walmart to succeed in online delivery because I don't want Amazon to gobble everything.

Recently, I was shopping for a media entertainment cabinet. Its for our upstairs media room, so I wasn't super concerned about it being "nice furniture". I went and checked at our local Walmart and found a piece that would work. Instead of trying to load the 180lb piece into my car by myself, I thought "I'll just order online and have it delivered to my door and take it upstairs in pieces"

When it was delivered I was out and when I returned I discovered they sent me the wrong item (desk instead of media center). Went online to start the return process and the only option given was "return to your local store".

Luckily the desk was only 90lbs, but still it was a chore to load this in a car, drive to walmart, then at walmart there's no flat handtrucks or dollys, so had to wrestle into regular cart to bring to service desk.

They processed the return quickly and had the right media center in stock, but now I was back to square one: How to load a 190lb piece in my car using a standard shopping cart?

By Amazon being a 100% online store, they were forced to develop sane and customer friendly approaches to handling these types of issues. Because Walmart has never had to deal with these things, they are very lacking in handling these edge cases.

I still plan to use Walmart online, but will be very cognizant of what I'm ordering given their return process.

Dealing with stress well is a valuable skill. Many of those that do not manage emotions well become toxic. I personally would let a few great engineers who cannot find balance through tough deadlines, un-paved roadmaps, and tricky social situations find jobs elsewhere than hire people who cannot maintain their emotions.

That does sound terrible. If you see egregious comments that haven't been moderated, it would be helpful to give us links. We do what we can where we can, but it's impossible for us to read everything that gets posted here. We rely on users. I took a quick look at your account's flagging history, and didn't see rampant psychopathy. I did see some egregious comments that you rightly flagged, but they had all been heavily flagged and downvoted and moderated, and in some cases banned.
I'm mainly working off our experience in OpenMandriva, so at least for your standard general-purpose Linux distribution, it doesn't work yet.
I could see Twitch's thinking be to only catch a few people to make an example of, but in similar style cases with media companies and pirating the paperwork already has the targets name on it; the use of just placeholders imply to me that the lawyers are going to intentionally drag the case out while telling Twitch they are trying to find the "perfect target" to make an example of.
I live in a tropical jungle and, at night time, dark themes significantly reduces the number of insects attracted by the light emitted from the screen. Using a light theme app is like sitting under a flashlight which attracts all insects. A dark theme makes it possible for me to sit outside on my balcony at night time. So yes, I really need dark mode.

Just another ad for a company disguised as a blog post.
Wal-Mart is not the same as it was 20 years ago. They didn't do "groceries" back then and they tended to source some products from local businesses when possible. They had a local feel and devoted customer base. Not so much now though.

A lot of people forget that Wal-Mart and Sam's Club used to be the place to go to for Made in the USA stuff. They had an entire ad campaign about it, and American flags all over everything.

This was back when NAFTA was new and there was a lot of teeth-gnashing about factories just on the other side of the Mexican border taking American jobs†. Now China's factories have done to Mexico what Mexico did to American factories. (And IME, Africa is going to do to China what China did to Mexico.)

Heh, our most recent replacement a few weeks ago came in at almost 900,000lbs with oil. Depending on the speed of the replacement you can't always move the transformer dry because you need a certain amount of time between filling it and putting it in service.

So today I learned that Jefferson Davis's birthday is a state holiday in Alabama, and a declared holiday in Florida and Mississippi. Louisiana has a parish (county) named after him. Confederate Memorial Day is celebrated in Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi South Carolina, and Texas. Kentucky crowns a "miss confederacy" each year.

There would be worldwide outrage if people tried this kind of crap in Austria or Germany. But this equivalent is apparently mainstream A-OK.

We need a variant of Godwin's law for these nazis. They even put their crooked cross on some state flags.

Good question. The reason I don't use the Kroger or Safeway online services is because the prices are severely marked up compared to my local stores.

And I don't use Target's online shopping because it's freaking useless. Sandwich bread? Sorry, not available for pick-up in the stores near me. Sugar? Same story. Flour? Nope. What's the point of all those signs in Target's grocery section telling me I can order my food online?

I miss Peapod. :(
>Just for fun: I'd argue it still depends on the data it operates on... in this case, the empty set!

Void is not an empty set. It is void. Nothing. I am referencing the category void here. I'm not too familiar with rust but in rust this is just an empty enum.

Note that functions with parameter void can never be called because the void type can never be instantiated. You cannot instantiate nothing. This is a very theoretical concept, but I believe in rust you can actually define (not call) a function of this type.

fn absurd<T>(x: SomeEmptyEnumType) -> Int { 1 }

It's def hard to write a useful program made up of functions that can't even be called.

>So, in essence: I think we agree on the problem but disagree on the culprit. It's not OOP. It's C++/Java/C#/etc.

You can punch in your ZIP code and it will let you know what stores deliver to you. I did this a couple of weeks ago and found out I'm not in any Wal-Mart zone.

I think you're talking about "actual malice" which as I understand it does not require a particular intent. It is just that you know the statement is false (or have reckless disregard for whether it is false or not). It doesn't matter why you said it.
