Specifically, most Japanese used cars are exported abroad, since the inspection criteria are quite stringent when it comes to condition and features. So the cars are basically broken in by Japanese drivers, and then live the rest of their lives in Indonesia or China.

Maybe somebody can help me understand... I thought ADS-B wasn't yet the main positionning tool for ATC, that it rather was a backup for secondary radars through Mode S. I don't understand yet why you'd ground any aircraft with a fully working, reliable, independent-from-GPS-jamming-or-spoofing Mode S /radar/ transponder ?
Cheers to Cern! I'm not above paying for quality software/service...but games like what MS and others play in the name of capitalism, get annoying quickly.

Awww, man...The relevant project website is behind a login[0]. Would have loved to see it. In any case, would be cool if big (or at least well-known) orgs. like CERN begin to adopt more open source offerings, and positively stir up vendors who support such OSS offerings. NextCloud comes to mind...now that is a model that i'd like to support at the enterprise level. Software is free, support is paid for - this seems reasonable and fair to me.

Once again, kudos to CERN!

"GraphQL and Apollo is not at fault for people writing bad code who mix patterns and ideas that shouldn‘t go together."

When you say this, I hear "Apollo and GraphQL are fragile technologies that don't play well with others."

Furthermore, technical decisions like which libraries to use are many times not at all related to technical reasons like this, but rather what a particular developer with influence wants to do, based on their own personal preferences. OR, the downsides of decisions to use certain technologies are often not understood until problems begin to creep up, and by then it's too late. Of course, technology companies, especially venture backed ones, don't want to highlight those things to decision makers. Either way, I have a hard time blaming the rank and file developers who probably had no input in the first place.
They did! https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2010/06/darpa_researc...

The problem is that the economic situation makes it very difficult to replace the Internet. Wholesale protocol replacements only work if they are backwards compatible and incrementally deployable and they provide new capabilities even when there is partial deployment.

But ACK aren’t the only upstream traffic. Latency gets added to all your requests.
Your comment makes 0 sense.
Not really.

You potentially don't know who is "resuming", and so don't know what registers they will clobber. It would only be a "downside" if 1) your code uses a register 2) no other possible green threads do, and that isn't an invariant any compiler I know will promise, especially in the face of FFI calls.

If you're at the point where you want to do register allocation and spilling optimization across multitasking points, you're probably better off writing your own compiler instead of expecting a thread runtime to do it for you.

For comparison, normal threads have the same downside: the kernel saves and restores all registers (even more than what the example does), so you're not doing any worse than that.

Security training focuses way to much on email phishing and not enough on this kind of stuff. Actually getting your work done, managing your own computer. Of course people can't be trusted if they havem't been trained. How to handle USB drives. What and from where you can download and run programs. What actually IS a program and what isn't.
Many of us learned this the hard way by playing lots of cracked games in the 90s. But not everyone did that.

Try explaining to a non-technical person how how a desktop background image isn't a program so it's basically safe to grab from anywhere, while a screen saver is definitely a program and usually unsafe to get from most places, and a word document is some times a program that might eat your computer. Training could involve things like "which of these 5 webbpages would you consider it safe to download and run executable from"?

Having too cumbersome rules around security just means it's ignored or circumvented, increasing risks.

You mean me employing colored words, even if they nowadays became pretty much colloquial without harsh emotional content? In that case I apologize, though at that moment when I was writing it I wanted to emphasize that I viewed this whole FizzBuzz charade insulting, basically treating interviewees as frauds. I think sometimes for the sake of proper behavior reinforcement the use of those words is vital and they fulfill their proper linguistic function when needed, otherwise they wouldn't have existed. They likely made you feel bad, which is exactly what I wanted to achieve whenever anything about FizzBuzz is mentioned; I hope this feeling stays with you and just for the sake of feeling good you would avoid FizzBuzz from now onwards.

I worked on both. The NS32K had a more complete instruction set, but I wouldn't say that made it more fun. Then again, maybe I'm a bit weird. The chip I most enjoyed working on was the MC88K, which everyone else hated because of its exposed pipeline. Part of me would like to tinker around with a 6809 or Z80 some day, not because I'd expect anything useful to come out of it but just because fitting within those constraints is a fun kind of puzzle for me.

Not sure what any of this means.

Kubernetes does not prevent you from using an optimized JVM to run your application. In fact it doesn't even involve itself at that level rather it focuses just on managing containers which can have anything inside them.

And Kubernetes actually has far more observability than most distributed applications since you can get plugins which trace/monitor every connection between containers as well as monitor the health of each container.

I think what you're after is a PaaS on top of Kubernetes ? Well there are many of those around as well.
I agree with your reasoning, but the comparison to 16-19 year olds in the last paragraph doesn't really make sense to me. If both groups are equally dangerous on the road and drive about the same amount, why are insurance rates for 16-19 year olds (talking about the US, because that's what I have the context for) are through the roof, unlike the elderly?
Also increases the cost of cocaine and others right? This lines the pockets of all those who get paid off along the route, and sucks away money from the US economy at a larger scale as well. That appears to be an upside to some people who would like to keep them illegal and the war going right?
One of those cases where both sides are in the mud. La Liga is struggling with piracy of games for long. They have been trying to make money of their product (football essentially features two of the greatest players to play the game in last 10 years, only one now) but struggle due to their whacky ideas and no care about fans. Sample this: The timings of games are as early as 12PM (spanish siesta is at 4PM) and as late as 11 PM local time. They host 10 rounds every week, most in different slots to get more eyeballs. They have acted in bad faith in a sense too. Spanish law requires one of those 10 games to be free to air. They made sure that game is one held on Friday or Monday at 11 PM (teams' fans call it graveyard shift) and nothing on f2a tv on weekend.The ones listed are the ideas which made through while others like having one random game in US thankfully did not. Though, given their ineptitude, its a sure wonder how they managed to execute this so well.

Bars should not be streaming the games illegally either. But since the cable prices are too high, and nothing on free to air, they have to in order to attract crowds. There is no official streaming service - albeit not bundled with cable tv subscription - that people in these countries can make use of to watch games.

The path forward maybe what Formula1 did by introducing a streaming service which is not geo blocked. This way, I can watch a race at reasonable subscription from anywhere in the world. They also allow me a racer only feed, or the global feed, or a feed from a particular stand. I will definitely buy it if any official football league offers that too.
There is no alternative to facebook within orders of magnitude of network effects.

I assume political reasons.

- Don't want to rely too much on a single manufacturer (they already use AMD GPUs). Always keep multiple supplies alive/well.
- Don't take away too much from Intel to not affect other components (they were in the game for LTE modems which Apple needed/needs)
- How good are integrated intel vs amd gpus? Could play a role as well
Yes, but it's the other way around : Economy is part of (Society, which is part of) Ecology.

Start with unhealthy high-carb refined grains and add anti-nutrients like lectin and phytates, plus fiber that you would probably be better off getting from whole fruits and vegetables and you don't end up with something healthy.

Pretty much any of the myriad resources on paleo / low-carb / grain-free diets will cover most of the reasons and point to research backing up why whole grains are not healthy. Nutrition science is a weirdly controversial topic however so for every study that points in one direction you'll find someone passionately committed to a different theory who will dig up conflicting evidence.

Having read a lot on the subject over the years (and through personal experience) I'm persuaded by the evidence in favour of a low-carb, largely grain-free, high fat paleo style diet but I've largely given up trying to convince anyone who feels differently on the Internet as for whatever reason nutrition debates are as heated and futile as political ones.

Reposts are ok on HN if a story hasn't had significant attention in about a year. This is in the FAQ: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html.

We post links to past discussions just to satisfy curious readers. It's great if others do that too! Just make sure that there are interesting comments to read at the other end of the link, since otherwise clicking on it is a no-op.
In my ideal world, it'd look a lot like SmartOS + NixOS, but that's an ideal. There is a massive middle ground between k8s and some hypothetical ideal, and k8s is completely on the "horrifying monstrosity that you shouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole unless you really have no other options" side of things.

Most server-grade operating systems include facilities that are robust, mature, compact, performant, and reasonably well-integrated, and for the things that aren't part of the OS, there is a long and glorious lineage of applications that can lay claim to those same virtues. Kubernetes makes use of many of them to do its work.

Those of us who've configured a router, load balancer, or application server independently are just perplexed when someone acts like k8s is the only way to handle these very common concerns. We're left asking "Yeah, but... why all this, when I could've just configured [nginx/Apache/haproxy/iptables/fstab]?"

The naive admin will say "because then you just have to configure Kubernetes!", but unfortunately, stacking more moving parts on top of a complex system typically hurts more than it helps. You'll still need to learn the underlying systems to understand or troubleshoot what your cluster is doing -- but then, I think part of what Google et al are going for here is that instead of that, you'll just rent a newer and bigger cluster. And I guess there's no better way to ensure that happens than to keep the skillset out of the hoi polloi's hands.

I assume that many "devops" people are coming from non-nix backgrounds, and therefore take k8s as a default because they're new to the space and it's a hot ticket that Google has lavishly sworn will make you blessed with G-Glory. But systems have been running high-traffic production workloads for a very long time. Load balancing, failover, and host colocation have all been occurring at most shops for +/- 20 years before k8s released in 2014. These aren't new problems.

Alan Kay has called compsci "half a field" because we're just continually ignoring everything that's been done before and reinventing the wheel rather than studying and iterating upon our legacy and history. If anything is the embodiment of that, it's Kubernetes.
I assume 250k was the fine, 61m the top player's salary, and 24 million the lowest team salary.
Really limited on features no? No smart sync, revisions, or easy link sharing.
Half life is inversely proportional to radioactivity. Hundreds of thousands of years = no worries, you only live up to 1e-3 that amount.
Of course the VM is isolated. That's exactly the point of a VM.

An account inside a VM will only let you play in that VM.

Whereas your account on the host is available and automatically granted access to all machines, fileshares and services on the active directory network. If it got admin rights, then you've got admin pretty much everywhere.

But that’s what you don’t get. It’s much easier to get your ideas through if the manager and your coworkers like you and trusts you. You would be amazed at the processes and changes you can make just by having the interpersonal skills to do it.

> Can "greatness" really be achieved quickly?

Yes, but rarely. Quick and great can't be expected. Only consistency can be expected to produce greatness, and even then, not always. But like you said, it always comes back to the definition of greatness and that can be defined in different ways, and it should be, depending on what we're talking about.

For example, it's not likely, but it is possible for a new film maker to make a film that wins a prestigious award their first try and in less than a few months. But, I don't think most filmmakers could or should expect the same result. It takes most filmmakers many years and many tries (that "being good repeatedly" that you talk about) to make an award winning film. Event then, there are people who think the most highly awarded films are not great.

On the other hand, something less subjective would be much more difficult to achieve "greatness" in quickly... such as physical fitness competitions. Somebody who takes up even the most normal activity, such as running, isn't going to quickly be able to beat athletes who have been training for years longer at a 100 meter sprint.
Just curious.. how can you be bullish about lab grown meat without knowing if any companies are involved in it?

It may be a 100b+ company, or it may be that producing lab grown meat costs 100x as much and there is no way to reduce that.

Have there been any initial figures? If so, why is no business capitalizing on it?

This is mostly hypothetical but if you have a response I'd like to hear it.

Dropbox is constantly getting worse for personal usage. They recently bumped up the prices about $10+ a year.

As a photo storage, it fails heavily as well. They turned down the Carousel app which made it super easy to browse photos over time. Google Photos easily dominates this space with the search features. Right now the Photos experience on Dropbox lacks the most basic features and I'm planning to stop renewing my personal Dropbox subscription this year, primarily because of poor photo storage support.

This article is from 2016, but it's still relevant. Even in medium sized projects I've been bitten by many of these issues, and for a language that's supposed to eschew magic, there's an awful lot of wizardry going on.

Stopping compilation with an error for every unused import & variable is particularly annoying, so much so that I've patched the go compiler to treat them as warnings instead [1].

Ultimately, I think the problem boils down to a language that outgrew its original design, and hasn't evolved elegantly (yet).

The part I'm confused by is how the Spanish government reacted more quickly than Google. I would assume the app and organization would be banned from the store before anything else happened.
I find that argument a bit difficult. Yes this is how we evolved, but do we have any evidence that that's the only constellation? Eg is having the moon just a lucky coincidence or a necessity. We can argue why it was necessary for us to come to be the way we did, but extrapolating to make that the only option seems rather a stretch.
Seriously. I can't even look at an IPv6 address.

I used to think that maybe they'd grow on me the same way dotted quad did, but nope, never happened. Sort of like memorizing excess digits of Pi. I used to tell myself someday, someday... But who fucking cares.

I think there was probably a shred of utility in the idea that trillions of hosts could all wire into the same address bus, and maybe sending packets to a space colony that your computer could interface with just as readily as it could another continent or the coffee pot in the kitchen is admirable in its scope of ambition, but most people are using devices so tightly controlled and locked down that it's not like most of use are even messing around with NIC cards and RJ45 jacks anymore.

I haven't looked at a tower PC in years, and so it probably just doesn't really matter anymore.
