Can you continue to do this if you want to?

But think about a system which is dynamically adding domains with TLS and SNI, or constantly adjusting backend workers. Or trying to automate a clean rolling upgrade.

You want to quickly shed load, or add new TLS certificates, etc. If you have a process which is accepting these change config requests and controlling a file, it potentially has to worry about atomicity if several different things are happening at the same time — could one change blow away another if you script a “read config, update config, link new config, trigger reload, poll till complete” function without locks, one change could blow away another?

Presumably the API would protect against this and allow a simpler function to push a given state change?

But I agree that it’s likely over designed and not strictly necessary assuming the hot reload doesn’t have unanticipated side effects. E.g. What happens to stick tables, session state, etc.?

It’s not like the REST API eliminates all these concerns too. For example, if you make a change via the API, presumably it is persisted across reloads, or there is at least a way to make it be?
I never like to see Amateur Radio lose spectrum. But if I'm not mistaken 3300-3500 MHz is currently allocated to Amateur Radio. So this would still leave hams with 3300-3450 MHz.
This is nice information, but I don't quite get where you're going with this?

What they are doing isn't scalable without a major population correction. You hit the exact same issue someday no matter what. By encouraging exponential growth it just ensures when we do hit a true limit the losses are orders of magnitude worse. Also an increase in density is a decrease in quality of life. Why not live sustainable lives with a comfortable amount of resources instead of exponentially reproducing until everyone has nothing. If the plan doesn't scale 50k years into the future it is an abject fraud designed for short term profit at the expense of others. Math always wins.
Seems like a positive change. But somehow (perplexingly) we still use inches, feet and miles in a major part of the world.
It doesn't necessarily. My point is that it's a more challenging environment than on the east coast, and I'm not aware of any offshore wind projects in planning stages on the west coast. Perhaps there are some (but I wouldn't be surprised if the intention is floating turbines).

The offshore turbines tend to dwarf anything installed in the midwest. It's not really a great comparison for proximity.

Logistically the west coast is challenging too because at this point the US offshore wind industry is pretty immature, and it's European companies winning the contracts to build and install the foundations. Jacket foundations could be constructed in the Gulf but the larger monopile foundations are probably going to come from Europe. The east coast seems easier to tackle first.
The UK sleeper trains were refurbished recently. They go out of London up to Scotland and down to the South West of England.

They are not multiple units or likely to be if they were refurbished tomorrow. The reason being that the stock is not in 24/7 use. It does the one long night journey then gets parked all day.

The train out of London gets split to serve different bits of Scotland, so you do get some shunting around going on when they do things to the train.

It doesn't go that quickly as a train because there is no need. Being in Euston at 5 a.m. is no fun, might as well be there at 6 a.m. with some sleep had.

So the loco that pulls the train can be any old freight thing. Although now it is likely to be a Class 73 diesel electric that can use electrified track as well as diesel. Note that there i no electric track all the way out to Scotland.
Definitely not knocking it, I've been in and out of the indie dev scene for quite a few years now, just calling a spade a spade is all.
The don't do deep learning. Their papers are based on graphical models. Their RCN model can be said to be inspired by Numentas earlier HTM model that dileep developed there, but is very different in fundamental ways.
There's definitely some advantages to using age-old practices. It's easy to explain how trust and verification works in a system when 2 people have separate physical keys and you need both to perform an action. It's a lot harder to explain things like modern crypto to most people. Until a critical mass of the decision-making chain understand the tech we may be better off not using it for mission-critical things.

Alternatively, this could also be a misguided effort that holds back smart-grid tech in America by a decade. It's really hard to tell.

Hey HN. I have worked for 10 years on my own projects (some of which are open source), and now I'm after my first "real" job.

This gave me a wide range of experience. I have worked on frontend, backend, infrastructure and security roles. I prefer working with backend and/or infrastructure, but I'd take a frontend job depending on the language.

Location: Sao Paulo, Brazil
Remote: Yes (any timezone)

Willing to relocate: Not currently. I can spend 2-3 months per year on-site though.

Technologies: I have used a lot of different tools throughout the years. I'm listing the ones I'm most familiar with.

Elixir/Erlang (4y) Python (3y) PHP (3y) Clojure/CLJS (9m) Elm (2y) Vanilla JS + React (1y) Currently learning Go (2m)

Moving? Power plants have air filters.

I don't see how thousands of small scale filters that may or may not be maintained (ie. in some countries people cut DPF out) are better than one big efficient properly maintained industrial filter.

Also decoupling power generation from consumption allows for making overall car energy usage greener over time. Not possible with ICE.

> If youre a professional coder and you show up to a planning meeting and your answer is "I dont know, i have no idea and its not possible to provide an answer even on an order of magnitude" thats just ridiculous.

True, but it's because that question is often ridiculous.

If it's technology I've never worked with before, in a domain I've never worked, for which the test data doesn't exist yet, it's perfectly reasonable to be outside an order of magnitude.

E.g., we mostly do Web app development with React and Django, sometimes going into more complicated data processing and visualization. In a recent planning meeting we were asked about recognizing waterways from aerial photographs to improve local government's GIS datasets. Ummm...

Nothing you say here is special to this law though, as opposed to any other law that gets passed. If you're of the opinion that no law is a good law, i think we'll have to just disagree. All I'm seeing is justification for inaction on an issue with pretty clear precedents in established law on revenge porn and libel/slander.
So, those events seem to be the dissolution of continent-sized political regimes. Is that what you’re talking about? And then they were replaced by other regional political regimes in due course?

I’m trying to think of what regimes would qualify: the US, China, the EU... India, Brazil. One of those? Is that what you’re thinking?

I guess it would be easier to understand what you think is a high probability event if you give just an example of a a regime that think is at risk.
Assuming you wouldn’t use a local SSH server hooked up to a TV instead... If you want mpv on a Mac, use https://iina.io/ and for iOS, libmpv is available and someone’s compiled it and wrapped it in a UI at https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/outplayer/id1449923287 or use Plex which is less integrated with the iOS Files app but is multi-platform: https://www.reddit.com/r/appletv/comments/9zd9p5/plex_beta_i...

You can interact with your device with multiple accessibility mechanisms including voice control, software buttons, voiceover, Siri shortcuts, Pythonista, and wirelessly or remotely, including Safari automation. If the only problem you have is you have to use the Files app with your fingers and a GUI instead of typing “ls” and using a non-touch-optimized UI, well... maybe a phone with a touchscreen isn’t the right device for you. Perhaps the original android concept with a keyboard (like BlackBerry) would be preferable?

Shouldn't this already be covered by defamation and/or laws related to truth in marketing?
Ive been excluded from more and more shit lately just because I don't have a smart phone. I got a dumb phone for calls and SMS but even that is becoming inadequate. Even with mobile emulators many apps and signups don't actually work because there is no phone number registered to it and if I input my dumb phone number they just send me shit that I can't view to my dumb phone. Living in one of the poorest areas of the nation, I gotta save every penny I can, and a data plan that I would use once in a blue moon with garbage network service just isn't worth the cost. Not to mention the more expensive phone that will inevitably get destroyed on a job site while im climbing through rafters or jumping down in holes and shit. Google even discontinued their directions via SMS which should be a dirt cheap service to provide, so now im back to physical maps. Even the spammers now send me SMS messages I can't view.

Personally, I don't want to live in a world where I am forced to perpetually be networked up and tracked and spied on everywhere I go. Yeah you can circumvent a good bit of that if you really want to, but that is even more time and pain in the ass to do for every little thing, extensively researching every little app, and jail breaking all my devices so I have some sliver of control over it, while still paying out the ass to companies and practices I do not support. There are even government apps that require a smartphone app to access now with no PC equivalent.

Of course they aren't, but most people aren't like Drew Devault either. Most people don't use ancient hardware to prove some sort of point. The "Drew Devault will approve of it"-argument generally doesn't show up in a business case.

In a perverse way, I am glad that programmers come up with better and better ways to waste hardware resources. In doing so, they ensure the continued progress of the semiconductor (and battery) industry through mass market demand.

I do not believe it is a coincidence that Moore's law has slowed significantly right at the time when computers became "good enough" for the everyday user. If it wasn't for gamers spending hundreds of dollars on pushing more pixels on-screen, we'd be way behind on deep learning.

Why? Why shouldn’t residents be able to decide the living characteristics of their own city?

There is plenty of land in the US. If prices are too high to afford to live there, residents will start moving and businesses move with them or vice versa. More businesses will start expanding to lower cost of living areas.
Exactly. So a deepfake of a clean-cut star, say Taylor Swift, in an over-the-top hardcore porn clip would not reasonably be considered real and so could be a legitimate parody.

Ah that makes more sense, thanks for helping me to understand the open windows viewpoint.

For me electricity is less expensive during the day (solar) and my house is well insulated so it takes fairly little to combat the heat gain during the day compared with letting the house heat soak through the day and then try to cool everything off in the evening. There's also often more humidity in summer so I'm trying to dehumidify at the same time and an adjusting AC (e.g. variable refrigerant flow or just a variable speed on the compressor) can run at lower consumption for longer to meet both needs at once.
Does smart-grid tech work any better than smart-home tech? So far most 'smart' tech hasn't had a good track record on security or reliability, certainly not at the level you would trust your major infrastructure to it.

As someone who's done lots of long-haul (Texas–Chicago and Texas–Maryland) rides, one (or a few) long-distance coach trip is perfectly doable, and even enjoyable if you like train rides; but I feel that it gets unbearable pretty quickly as a regular occurrence.

Hi there! I'm Dylan. I'm excited to help you and your team to grow and to ship. I genuinely enjoy listening to, and deepening my understanding of, your needs; working with you to design and develop appropriate solutions; and putting them out into the world. In a pinch, I'm happy to help your growing company migrate from Heroku onto AWS.

Technically, my specialization has been around developing and deploying Ruby on Rails applications and the infrastructure underpinning them. My deep experience with DevOps predates the term "DevOps".

Let's have a conversation to see if we can find ways to help each other get better. I look forward to hearing from you.

These are pretty common terms in a speedrunning context and I do not believe they were meant by the author to be emotionally charged. Because speedruns often take advantage of game-breaking glitches, the extent to which the game has been literally broken is usually described with destructive terms like these. Smashing records, destroying games, obliterating levels, etc.

It makes a bit more sense if you imagine the developer's intended way to play the game being a glass bridge across a chasm, and speedrunners literally shatter the bridge and glue the pieces into a ramp that they jump a dirtbike off.
