Some background: I spent 6 years building customer Django sites; for the last 3.5 years I've been doing IoT.

For many organizations, a headless CMS are going to be more and more of a requirement, as more content is delivered to non-web or and non-mobile contexts. Some examples:

1. Shipping content into voice or chat bots.

2. Shipping content to embedded devices like touch screens on home appliances or factory machines.

Going beyond the separation of the data store and the presentation layer: A lot of people haven't yet felt the pain of using traditional relational data for these nontraditional channels. In voice and chat, for example, a knowledge graph is much more helpful than a bunch of relational data (or at least alongside relational data).

On the flip side of this all: my wife runs a blog, and I doubt she'll ever need more than Wordpress.

So, as usually, pick the right tool for the problem.
I'm unable to login through the Google Drive link on mobile, seems the image loads butbit doesn't click through (i.e. clicking on the image does nothing).

Tried this in Firefox (with and without uMatrix and/or UBO) and Firefox Klar and Google Chrome (with JavaScript enabled).
That is part of "remuneration".

Definitely the most important reason why I'm in the area.
If anyone wants a recommendation for an alternative, I can happily suggest Xero.

What a mess, though. Worst part of a business to be crippled is its core - financials. A part often overlooked by techies. If you can’t invoice, you can’t pay the wages.
Here's what we can do:

1. Refuse to support politicians that do not see this as the grave issue it is. Most other political issues won't matter if we cannot change the course of global warming.

2. Spread awareness. Update yourself on the facts, and share them with your friends and family.

3. Plant trees like crazy.
> One thing I want to be crystal clear about here is that the $3.50 fee is no way an attempt to monetise something I always wanted to provide for free.

If this was true, then all revenue made from those 3.5 would get donated to a worthy cause, not donated into Troy's own pocket. I am not saying that he shouldn't monetise it, but please let's be honest about it.

> The point is that the $3.50 number is pretty much bang on the mark for the cost of providing the service.

The cost of the service is the actual final bill which has to be paid for this service, taken into account all the free credits Troy gets as a Microsoft Regional Director, free credits for hugely advertising Azure at every occasion, free credits from Cloudflare for constantly advertising for them, the tax which he doesn't pay as a registered company, etc. divided by the actual amount of customers who use the API. This cost could be much more, or significantly less than $3.5. If Troy wanted to be more transparent then he could, but given that he is very secretive and very selective about the bits of information he shares around all of this, my guess is the cost is much less than what Tory makes everyone believe.

Overall I don't think it is ethical to monetise a service which is built on stolen data. There is a good chance that Troy holds data on me, my parents, my sister, wife and lots of other people who's data have been breached over the years and have no idea who Troy is, what the heck HIBP is or even know how to contest or request from Troy to remove their data from his service, yet it's being used for monetisation.

There was never a consent from anyone to hord our data. It's stolen, and only because stolen data is easily discoverable on the internet doesn't make it alright to actively search, store and monetise that data. It's still stolen and should get deleted from everywhere.
Is there any indication why did this post drop from the front page?
This is a question I've thought alot about, so many some Sys Admins can give a good idea about how to approach it:

How do you create a backup server that is reachable by production servers (so that they can back up to it) without then being vulnerable to the same kind of ransomware attacks that infect the production servers? You can't exactly make them read-only, or else they can't accept the "legitimate" writes that might occur during the normal backup process.
The goal is to decouple the model (content) from the view (the apps that render the content).

For example, in the old way of doing things you might use Wordpress to host your corporate blog. But what if you want to put that content into an email too? Or an app page?

In the headless-CMS world, you write the content and store it in the headless-CMS DB. Then any client that wants to render it (your blog site, your webapp, the backend server that's sending email messages, etc) can pull the latest version of a particular piece of content, and render it.

A good example use-case is using something like https://www.gatsbyjs.org/docs/headless-cms/ to render a static site, based on dynamic content stored in the headless CMS.
"headless" I don't know what field they are operating in, but in the world of financial publishing, thats called multiplatform.

Now, the thing that they gloss over, and the actual hard part of all of this, is not the headless bit, its getting your content in order.

Organising your content so you can syndicate it to people that want it is really, really hard at scale. Its almost never a technical challenge, it a question of selling and making sure people put the right tags on the right content.

At "Large Financial News company" The basic idea was there, the execution was lacking though:

GUI(in fat client and web) -> content database -> frontends

When stuff was being redesigned, most of the effort was in the front end. The content already had an API, it was polluted by politics and idiot architects, but it was there.

You know what doesnt happen in Detroit? The Windsor hum is just for Windsor. How come Detroit folks never hear it?

You know what else Windsor has?

Cancer clusters all over the city. https://www.wechu.org/reports/remington-park-cancer-cluster-...

If you go somewhere in Windsor, anywhere, people will tell you they are in a cancer cluster.

Maybe it's because of the Radon? https://www.wechu.org/healthy-homes/radon

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/windsor/radon-gas-could-affec...

Oh right, government came in, discovered Windsor is unusually clear of radon. We had LESS radon than the average. Due primarily to the salt mine and impenetrable deposits. Oh and that "Radon Measurement Professional" He's a truck driver. He knows nothing about nothing. I've talked to him, I wouldn't trust him working at mcdonalds. His scam he told me about

Did you also know Windsor gets thousands of cases of west nile every year? Pretty much all of them it turns out didn't actually have west nile...

Oh how about the thousand people who blamed the Ohio nuclear plant for radiation poisoning. https://windsor.ctvnews.ca/amherstburg-residents-near-nuclea... Oh good we have radiation pills now.

Windsor is a dying city. What's far more common in Windsor is people running scams. You name the scam, I bet I know someone who is doing it.

Take Your Medicine: Health Startup’s Smart Pills Keep Patients from Forgetting
There is a cost-benefit-analysis at play, and even if one makes the security argument, that is "what if" talk, not concrete numbers that are coming out this year.

A $500k tester's depreciation is based on a 10+ year service life. The ones that make it past that point turn into security nightmares and profit centers at the same time.

These are large and complex machines, with hundreds or thousands of moving parts. A competent reverse engineer and driver developer likely could solve many of the driver interface issues and move things to newer platforms, but why invest hundreds of thousands per year in maybe updating something that still works? Who is going to pay for that? Oh, you want to raise your rates to pay for it? I guess they'll move all of their testing development to the competitor in Asia.

This isnt some big name you have heard of, but this is one of the places that all the big names go to to test their silicon during development.
This is mostly true for me. I've been using Linux exclusively on all devices since 2002ish, so largely know nothing about Windows or Office happenings. I do use VSCode, which is great. I wish Microsoft would take my money for an Office that works on Linux. It's great software, but I refuse to use Windows to use it. Not out of spite for Windows or anything, it would just be foreign to me.
You described effect observed in population that grew up in, and descended exclusively from generations living in singular over-crowded space with full living necessities supplies.

Humans out in the real world aren't like that. Some live in the crowded city, some live in the open regions. Some hunt for best deals in the mall, others hunt for the game for lunch. There's a constant trickle of cultural & genetic mixing, and there's a lot of small towns etc. that are somewhere in-between on the scale of self-reliance.

If the city populations were to crash, we the humans wouldn't really suffer all that much. Perhaps less new entertainment content would be produced, but the necessities would be taken care of as per the usual, knowledge would be preserved, and communication & trade would go on. In due time, cities would be re-populated.
This is what is frustrating about the cryptographic community. People should not be discouraged to try new algos and techniques otherwise how is anyone new that isn't already 'in the club' to gain knowledge?

My wife's SSN/credit history/online identities have in the past been mistakenly tied up with her sibling's. This has since been corrected with all the appropriate agencies and organizations.

However, from what I've noticed of search results over time, these background check (AND identity verification) sites crawl each other and create a kind of feedback loop, as I've been noticing that some of these pages will falsely report parts of her sibling's background among her own, and falsely flag her as having certain ugly events in her past that don't actually belong to her. This is concerning, as her career area cares a lot about employees having a clean background, and employers using these cheap automated options see cheap, inaccurate results. She has a squeaky clean background with a high credit score and impressive educational credentials, while her sibling has had run-ins with the law and bad debts. I'm concerned about how this will affect her future career prospects.

Beyond background checks, identity verification is a big concern as well. You may have noticed some services ask you to confirm certain facts about your past (street names of where you've lived, schools you attended, jobs and cars you've held). When pulling her credit bureau reports, some of these verifications required confirming facts about her sibling rather than her own in order to gain access.

Like I said, these issues have been fixed with all the "official" record-keeping organizations; however, since the fix, I've been noticing increasing issues with the original mistakes propagating to 3rd-party background-check organizations.

These services cause more problems than they solve, and should require consent, oversight, and civil or criminal penalties associated with a failure to meet high quality standards.
What Happened When I Opted Out of Face Scanning at Hong Kong Airport
What you and most other people seem to overlook is that it's not solely about the money or skilled labor at all. H1-Bs are sought after primarily because they can be squeezed harder than American workers. This ends up forcing Americans to grind as hard as H1-B workers do to compete, which ends up being a race to the bottom. One of the great things about the living in the US is that the quality of life and protections against worker abuse is supposed to be better than other countries. When you start making hiring decisions based on how hungry your candidates are, this creates a normalization of deviation situation.

Public records are public.

The fact that some government organizations make it hard to retrieve public records is a flaw in the system. I'd be in favor of a national law requiring all public records to be published in machine-readable form.

In the mean time, it is our civic responsibility to conspire to circumvent these misbehaving public services.
Search Engine Optimization? More like Googlebot Optimization, I think.
We use ElasticSearch at Lawmatics, and it powers more functionality than just our search! We use it to power our Automation targeting engine, reporting features, audience builder and pagination, filtering, sorting of data tables.

We denormalize associated records into one Index. And any record that we need to find based on user-defined queries will go through ES since it's much simpler to metaprogram queries across denormalized data (no conditional joins).
that is different from this. The affected is a 3rd party hoster, not Intuit.

Sure, but we’ve manufactured the danger here. There’s no inherent danger.

I am not advocating harassment; I consider harassment if you offer someone a drink, she is refusing and you insist. Not the case.
There are some unwritten rules in bars: if a woman is sitting at the bar alone, she may want a drink from some guys, not from anyone. If a woman is with some guy, she probably will not be interested and it is not a good idea to try. Showing some availability is inviting - not crying out loud "I want to be offered a drink by a tall dark stranger", but the meaning is the same. Not harassment. Females don't contact directly guys, they want to be asked and to be allowed to choose. Basic human psychology, no big deal.

I didn't realize the truth was so simple, and a matter of education.

Is an unborn fetus a person or a cluster of cells?

Is a transgender woman a woman or a man approximating phenotypical gender characteristics of a woman?

Is sex under 18 capable of consent? Under 16? Under 14? In Spain it was 13 until only a few years ago, where is "the truth?"

Prostitution, gambling, drugs? Truth?

Almost all of the most contentious issues are not unresolved because of a lack of education, they're unresolved because of inherent moral conflicts worthy of negotiation. (Age of consent isn't really contentious, I just wanted to show something that most people consider to be obvious or a given not being necessarily resolvable). If we were to simply convince more people that a woman's right to bodily autonomy supercedes the unborn's right to live, or vice versa, we would have only really succeeded in indoctrination. Neither position is "truthful," it's always just an arbitrary moral elevation of one violation of consent over another.

I think the only issue even close to approximating the simplicity you've described would be climate change, but even then there is a wide chasm between the role people believe that the state should play.
> If I have enough RAM why do I want things to swap to begin with? The author never explained why putting rarely used pages in swap will improve performance if I have adequate RAM.

One thing I think the author was getting at, but never explicitly stated is that we spec most things for the average expected workload with a bit of headroom--not the peak workload since that is very difficult to assess. Peak workload might also be few and far between and not worth paying for upfront. Swap allows you to deal with peak workloads more gracefully for many applications.

Having your process randomly die isn't a big deal with stateless processes (which is a more and more common design), but really sucks for stateful things. Not just the possibility of lost/corrupt state, but process startup and loading of state can take a long time.

We have a few servers that don't have swap and I was hoping to find an excuse to add it in this article. Instead, it reenforced that decision because of type of things we run on it.

Me too! I would also love to build this, and I've actually been thinking about it for ~5 years! This is one of the projects I was always planning to work on if I didn't need to worry about money. I don't want to monetize the site with ads, and I also didn't want to worry about chasing after donations. I was thinking that the core product could possibly be monetized for businesses to make better decisions, but that would be too risky (since most startups fail), and it would also dilute the vision (Wikipedia-scale fact database with weighted nodes and edges, to find answers and probabilities for humanity's biggest questions.) I should have really started working on it a long time ago.

I actually just started seriously thinking about it again over the last few weeks, so this HN comment thread is really surprising! I'm definitely interested in helping with development, and maybe sponsorship at some point in the future.

EDIT: This HN thread was the kick I needed to get started, although I don't know how much time I'll be able to spend on it. I'm really busy with my startup, so this will have to be an evening/weekend project for now. I've just registered FactGraph.org.

Regardless of what you think of the bill, that's a bogus test. I may want a guy to come do a contract job for me on certain hours according to a certain spec and meeting certain compliance standards. Maybe these aren't even my restrictions, but those of a client. I might need some one for a specific job who I don't generally, so I get a contractor. He still has less control over how he does his work.

On the other hand, I have had bosses who don't care if or when I come in, so long as I get the work done. I have also had those who want me in a desk, nine-to-five.

It's a bogus test, and like so many other things governments do, will cause a long-term problem for a short-term gain. Politicians spend more time touting their bill than they do considering and mitigating its actions.
