Good explanation, but I feel like that needs to be "bottom line up front": the last two sentences are the most important,

"Liftbridge allows replicating to a subset of the cluster, and each stream is replicated independently in parallel. This allows the cluster to scale horizontally and partition workloads more easily within a single, multi-tenant cluster."
I definitely appreciate any journalism that centers the people behind the things that make up our reality. This article is definitely a terrific example of what I like about this approach to writing.
It's alright. I had great experiences with pairing when it wasn't forced on me and I had autonomy.
Thanks for the insight. I like programming and read and write plenty of code, but it is a part of my job (tool in the belt) and not the focus. In my opinion, there are always so many unknowns for any project that scoping something out entirely beforehand seems entirely useless. I'd much rather sketch some diagrams on paper and try to implement something that works but is a little ugly and then make a second pass to clean it up and properly architect it. I can't do that to start without a better understanding of the problem. I suppose if you write a lot of the same kinds of software you can estimate up front pretty accurately though.
> Fiber is usually something people want

According to this survey[0], only 25% of people even know what "fiber-to-the-home" means. Not a perfect proxy for "fiber" itself, but I imagine most non-technical people are not aware of it.

Plenty of stories about climate change still get attention on the front page. There's usually at least one every day. But they're the ones that contain new information.

Stories get flagged off the front page when they're repetitive, and stories get front page traction when they contain interesting/useful new information.

The recovering tiger population is interesting new information.
In thumb2 mode, an ARM will not be fixed-length: instructions may be 16 or 32 bits long.
Ah, your comment about them being "broken" led me to believe that some form of virtual memory was expected in the design.

Now that you mention it, I recall reading that two 68000s story before (possibly from another comment you made here?), and reading it this second time, it still amazes me. Is it possible to find the source code involved? Not sure what of Sun's kernels is available.
AWS locks everything down by default. As far as I know, there is no direct way through the GUI to make a bucket public, you have to know how to add the JSON policy and even then you get a very noticeable warning.
I'm not a PHP dev, but I've dabbled. And I'm not sure I follow. How is it a framework for frameworks sake? I take that to mean it's pointless/not useful. Whereas I'd say Laravel and it's ecosystem are far more productive and time saving than simply using just PHP. It's the opposite of wasting time. From their github repo[0] Laravel has:

- Simple, fast routing engine.

- Powerful dependency injection container.

- Multiple back-ends for session and cache storage.

- Expressive, intuitive database ORM.

- Database agnostic schema migrations.

- Robust background job processing.

- Real-time event broadcasting.

Not only is it a robust, pleasant, framework with batteries included but there's also an entire ecosystem/platform of related products that are pretty big time savers:

spark[1], forge[2], envoyer[3], and horizon[4].

And, as an aside, the documentation is good and there are some pretty great tutorials too[5]

Why React Hooks?
Haha noooooo way. Even if the EM doesn’t cause any health issues, battery combustion due to overheating right under my head might.

It's not so black and white to call these numbers "rich". $250k sounds like a lot, but a family, mortgage, retirement savings evaporates that to middle class in many parts of the country.
I suspect every model is currently broken, and they are all distorted by: regulatory capture.

My guess is that without storage systems, wind and solar and distributed power will always be "regulated away" by wealthy incumbents.

But with storage systems, new forms of power will be valid participants and maybe there is a chance of an efficient energy market.

English is my first language so I have no experience trying to learn it as a second language. For what it is worth, it is a very difficult language and if this ask HN is indicative of your writing, you’re doing quite well.

I’m trying to learn French now. The thing that has helped me the most is talking to people who are French-English bilingual and kind enough to tell me that my accent makes me sound a little soft in the head. You may not have access to people like that. I’ve also gained quite a bit from watching parts of the first 8 seasons of The Simpsons in French. I’m of an age where I know the first 8 seasons like the back of my hand, so I can listen to the language and hear how they construct sentences without getting bogged down trying to understand.

If I wanted to improve my writing, I would find a good editor to destroy my writing. Would it be beneficial if I edited this post for you and showed how I would write it?

If I didn’t have access to a good editor, I would start reading as many English books as possible. My French isn’t strong enough to start reading actual French books so I haven’t gone down that path yet with my own learning. You might gain from that path.

Finally, do you work in tech? If so, comment here and get involved in some debates. If you do that though, remember that in English there are a lot of ways to craft one sentence. For example, let’s take a look at your last sentence.

“Few thing I considered like joining Toastmasters but nearest club is too far to my place.”

If I deconstruct that sentence, I get:

“Few” - Few means more than one.

“thing I considered like joining Toastmasters” - thing is singular

“but nearest club is too far to my place.” - this part is fine, though you’re missing a word.

When I add all of that together, I get a meaning like:

“I considered joining Toastmasters but the nearest club is too far from my home.”

In this case, “too far to my place is grammatically correct, but I have an aversion towards forming sentences like that. However, you could also write this and few people will question it:

“I considered joining Toastmasters but the nearest club is too far to my home.”

I don’t think that sounds as good, but that’s my own taste and my own voice.

Or, depending on who I’m writing to, I might balk at using ‘considered’. If I wanted to be a little folkier and conversational, I’d say:

“I have thought about joining Toastmasters but the nearest club is too far from my home.”

That is a small difference but we could also edit it completely differently. If I felt verbose, I might say:

“I have considered a few ways to improve my English. For example, I thought about joining Toastmasters but the nearest club is too far from my place.”

I took your last sentence and expressed it in several ways and I could keep going for hours. I know which one I prefer, but there are many options. If you’re looking for a good way to drill, I would practice there. Start writing a sentence in different ways. How does the feeling change? What feels more pleasant to read? What is more pleasant to speak out loud?
> A good marketing piece for any utility

This seems like a win-win-win to me. Tesla gets paid, the utility gets to show off how cool they are (and how they are investing in going green) without breaking the bank, and the rest of us (hopefully) experience less carbon emissions.

Ideally, that utility runs the battery for a while and it proves to be useful/profitable enough that they decided to change some of their future plans to include more renewable/battery tech.
If those requirements are stretching a $250k income, how exactly are people making $50k supposed to afford a family and retirement?
I once had a boss (legal - so lots of drafting/reviewing) who had a rule: no meetings & no drivebys before lunch. For anyone on the team. Calendars were expected to be clear from 9-1. He'd say "If you aren't sprinting down the hall to talk about it then it can wait until after lunch."

Of course there were "emergencies" and things so it was more like a team standard than a rule but it was phenomenal. When I got to my desk in the morning I always knew I'd have a solid block of time to get through the important work before I had to go to a bunch of meetings and take on more.

And, by the way, I think that people in Baltimore had a hard time in the last few decades, and I'm happy to read good news regarding Baltimore.
Another side of the organizational improvements that batteries have: redeployable.

Underprovision? Pour some more concrete, truck a couple more batteries in.

Overprovision? Load em up again and resell them to someone who wants them. Can't quite do that with a gas plant.

Sure there will be some overhead lost, but it just make soooo much sense to go with battiers from a risk perspective.

There were private funds as well as public funds. If you and I both contribute into pot of money for the poor, your don't get to have your children claim it back by saying the homeless person that should be getting that money is their guardian. These people are cheating instead of the harder thing of going to community college and then transferring to a 4 year college or simply not having 6 children which they couldn't afford to provide college educations for if that was important to them. It's not as though when get conceived of a child 18 years ago this trend wasn't fully in swing. They chose to buy an expensive house and send their other children to expensive colleges. Now they are abusing the system because things got hard. I didn't get a dime of money from my parents. I joined the military and worked a full time job at night in a factory while going to school full time during the day. This person is just the child of rich parents who are used to not working for anything. What have they taught their child? They are without an ethical core and should be called out for it.
Synthetic stones are still quite expensive. Natural alternatives are interestingly cheaper.

Fred Brooks said "plan to throw one away, you will anyhow". He was mostly talking about the value of prototyping or what in some circles is called spiking.

> I suppose if you write a lot of the same kinds of software you can estimate up front pretty accurately though.

Not in my experience, and I'm a pro-estimate loony. A lot of products and problems do have fairly predictable elements and it's possible to give useful estimates (eg, add new form element, needs a new field in the endpoint, new column on the table, some validations, tests for the above, no changes to docs ...).

Other problems are closer to pure research and you just accept someone might come back with something some day.

What we argue about in software circles is how wide valley in the middle is.
Agreed. They are truly majestic.

Back when I saw them in Corbett national park with their kill, the thing that amazed me the most was their size. They looked bigger than a hatchback! (Ignorant me)

Jim Corbett's books have been recommended in this thread, and he talks about their behavior in the wild in great detail. Worth a read if you want to know more about them.
It's a vastly better and fairer deal than college fees/loans.
There was backlash about buildings in New York having two different entrances, one for the posh people in the penthouses and one for the other schmoes.

Just embed the gopath directory inside of the repo. Use makefiles and project files that set the gopath for you.

My understanding is that Google does this internally, which is why gopath works the way it does. It's meant for monorepos.

The Stranding of the MV Shokalskiy
Interestingly (and admittedly unrelated to your point), Boeing used to both build and operate planes, as well as build components for planes. The US government passed a law to break them up in 1934 - the plane manufacturing became Boeing, the air operations became United Airlines, and the eastern components manufacturing became United Aircraft Corporation, later United Technologies.
I think you know the answer. They aren’t.
AWS Security in a Nutshell
My logic is:

The wider the gap between costs for insurers to pay for operation A vs for you to pay for operation A, the more value you get as a consumer get from having insurance which means the insurance company can earn more profit.

Dumb example. If it costs you a billion dollars and the insurance company a million dollars. The insurance company can comfortably charge you a premium that protects you from the billion dollar risk instead of the million dollar risk.

I would assume that, if rates were equal for both parties, insurance premiums would go up and insurance profitability would go down. If insurance profitability goes down, suddenly the insurance company is incentivized to decrease the costs of healthcare for everyone.

Right now the insurance company has the incentive to INCREASE the generic cost of healthcare and decrease for them only.

I am not an expert here.
Unfortunately, only finite amounts of existing dams with huge changes in elevation exist.

Beyond that “The round-trip energy efficiency of PSH varies between 70%–80%.” That’s a major ongoing cost, at say 6c / kWh * .25 * 365 * 15 years = 82$/kWh which is a large fraction of the Lithium Ion batteries costs. Though this increases if it’s used more than once a day, and decreases with unused reserve capacity.
Most of the old guard types worked for big companies and universities. You tend to think more about these things in those environments.
You are correct.

Due to certain tax credits, utilities can break even and even make a little money off of these devices, but it is certainly no slam dunk.

One of the most recent FERC orders deals with directing all the ISO/RTOs to add energy storage participation to markets as long as the battery is 0.1 MW or greater if I recall correctly.

A lot of folks are interested, but there isn't much money in ancillary services or energy for the reasons you described above.

The large-scale storage is pretty sweet though.
Similarly, I've pretty much given up on LineageOS ever getting the Nexus 5X to the 16.0 version. Their list of supported phones looks decent, but when you realize they can't keep even those phones up to date the project starts to look like a failure.

I'm hoping to find an alternative for friends and family who still have the 5X - it's been dropped from Google's security updates for a while, because their support ends abysmally quickly.
Fixing the US healthcare system really is not that hard. Just low incentive for the upper crust with plans that subsidize 90%+ of their healthcare through their companies/employers.

How to fix it:
1. Single payer - hard to maintain equality without it, insurers are not incentivized to lower healthcare trend due to max MLR rules
2. High OOP plans for all - force consumerism, sliding scale of ded/oopm based on income so poor are inherently subsidized more than rich
3. Easier path to becoming MD - more docs, more competition
4. Higher standards for maintaining license to practice medicine - more pressure to provide high quality care
5. Transparent prices - ability to shop for healthcare like any other good, prices will naturally hit an equilibrium due to consumerism and increased competition
6. Add a steerage layer to the system for all - call med-help line or go to web/app for care - type in symptoms, it gives you options with distance/prices etc to allow people to make more informed/economical decisions
7. Better Interoperability in EHRs - easily share medical records with a new provider, reduce duplicative care and waste

Just these items would help bring trend back in line with CPI. I like this solution because everyone gives a little - providers and consumers and the insurers and brokers give a lot (but eliminating their costs alone would be a boon). The biggest risk would be the ability of a public entity to implement and enforce such a system and to keep incentives high for providers and researchers
Making your own is still empowering though
Can someone tell me why they opted for the imx8m with 4 A53 cores rather than the imx8 which adds 2 A72 cores (3-6x faster) and 2x the GPU performance?

A $35 raspberry pi 4 has way more computing power than this phone while being 20x cheaper.
This risks using a known-vulnerable extension unless you monitor releases another way
Everyone has been looking for loopholes for a very long time, and it turns out that the winners, for decades, have been those that discover and most effectively exploit them. Nothing is new except for possibly the brazenness.

Consider Amazon, whose founder is the wealthiest person in America. Its existence and early strength to a large part is due to a sales and use tax loophole that was eventually fixed.
Default bucket encryption would require you to misconfigure two controls instead of one. S3 only automatically decrypts if you are an authorized principal on the KMS key, having S3 permission is not enough.
That's too bad that she may have not been upfront with you from the onset :(
Honestly I agree with you but there's no reason to be spiteful.
Sounds like a symptom of centralized silo services, period. This wouldn’t be a problem if each of those creators had a website with their content on it. The copyright holders would have to issue a DMCA to for that 10 second of radio music, which, while not perfect, is better than this YouTube content claim garbage completely controlled by claimants.

Then maybe copyright law would be molded into a better system. Which is exactly what these copyright cartels DON’T want. They want to avoid any judicial review whatsoever of their actions.

A few years ago a professor from the Miami University in Ohio came to our institution to give a talk about her students accidentally found high levels of radiation in a valley nearby. After some investigation they tracked down the source of radiation to a factory that prepared nuclear raw materials during the cold war. Some of the radiating dusts got carried by the wind and affected a region of tens of miles down in the valley. Apparently the locals in the valley town are not informed and the cancer rate is relatively high in the town. For some reason their papers on this are rejected, and calls for a public investigation were buried. I am not sure what the situation is now, but it would not be too difficult to contact some faculties of environmental sciences in that university if anyone is interested.
Well you talk about these things to find out truth not because they sound cool right?

I meant specifically some specific aspect of what you're talking about could be unknowable and you can postulate effects of the unknowable property with respect to knowable variables is what I meant.
You know what I don't get about status updates? We're all using tools like Jira, Trello, Pivotal Tracker, GitHub issues, etc., where you can see what everyone's working on and the status of each of those tasks. Why do we need frequent status updates like standups and PMs looking over our shoulders if you can just go to the project board and look for yourself? If I'm going to be asked about the status of what I'm doing every day, then don't make me use these systems.

It's like that episode of Seinfeld where Kramer pretends to be Moviefone. "To update the status of your ticket, press 1 now. .......... Why don't you just tell me the status of your ticket?"

The prediction was that the shit was going to hit the fan.

The shit is now starting to hit the fan.

The predictions are that there's going to be a lot more shit hitting the fan, and these predictions are constantly being checked and re-checked.

The news reports first that the shit bombardment is coming, and now it's here.

And you complain about those news reports, and not those actually shitting on the planet?

You know the metaphor "bikeshedding", yes? The idea that there can be a lot of vigorous arguments over the materials, paint color, etc. to use for a bike shed?

The flip side of that metaphor, which I'll coin "atomicpowerplanting", is that few want to dig into the details to make a good decision. Going back to the original bikeshed email:

> an atomic plant is so vast, so expensive and so complicated that people cannot grasp it, and rather than try, they fall back on the assumption that somebody else checked all the details before it got this far.

So, starting 40 years ago people started talking about the problems in graphite atomic piles, and made vague mentions of the Wigner effect, but the atomic power plant is important for national security and so it is built and put into operation.

This goes on for years. People point out some of the problems, and its knowledge is suppressed.

More years pass. And then the Windscale fire happens.

Perhaps the warnings are really important, but so complex that it's easy to atomicpowerplant?
