People don’t agree about what’s meaningful. But thanks for being discouraging.
Warm water and sand can clean pretty good, too.
First, because it's yet another dependency. Consensus-based systems like CockroachDB, Dgraph, Cassandra, Riak, Elasticsearch, ActorDB, Rqlite, Aerospike, YugaByte, etc. are wonderfully easy to deploy because they can run with no external dependencies. (Their consensus protocols may have different problems, but that's beside the point.)

Secondly, it's a pretty heavy dependency. The JVM is RAM-hungry and it's difficult to ensure that it always has enough RAM. Running multiple JVM apps on a single node must be done carefully to make sure each app has enough headroom. It consumes considerably more RAM than Etcd and Consul.

Thirdly, I think it's fair to say that ZK is showing its age. It's notorious for being hard to manage (see the other comments in this thread), with a fairly old design (based on the now-ancient Google Chubby paper) that, while resilient, is also less flexible than some other competing designs.
Nice. Suse Linux was my first. But that came. Couple of years later. CD-ROM was already a thing by then.

Regarding the modems. My internal PCI 36.6 modem actually got me shorter latencies than using a 50k modem over serial bus. I have no idea why. But my 50k modem was at the very last years of modems. Many where getting ISDN and cable by then.
You don't know how much I agree. I used Ripcord the other day and forgot software could just be fast. Slack feels like a boulder in comparison.

It's not very full-featured yet, but it's so fantastic I want to pay for it. It's a shame the companies themselves don't offer clients like it.
I am the author of the paper. First of all, thank you all for the valuable feedback!

I (re-)discovered PROLOG only a few months ago after having learned it superficially in the 90's. Then I wanted my own, hackable interpreter, and started to read books about PROLOG implementation. I found them to be too complex for my needs, so I finally sat down and asked myself "If I were a PROLOG interpreter, what would I do?" Then those six slides materialized in my head.

In the meantime, I have written an interpreter that is mostly compatible to DEC-10 PROLOG, have read Clocksin, Boizumault, and half of O'Keefe (and skimmed through a few others), and I am quite enjoying the tour so far! PROLOG is a fascinating language, and there are so many things to discover!

You would first try to understand why it didn't work, then judge afterward. The party or president you will vote for won't change everything overnight. The president decides about a direction to take, and the administrative and legal machineries work toward it. Fundamental new concepts such as transparency (build upon new communication technologies) will take time to include in every decisions. Anyway, if after 5 years you feel betrayed, take a look at the recent news about how people deal with it : Sudan, France, Algeria, Hong Kong, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, people riot. If you cannot riot because everyone owns a gun, then you are out of luck, I guess.
I agree with your sentiment. However if they declared bankruptcy then the class action filers would get nothing at all. That’s objectively only better if you’re spiteful.

We do not collect browsing history, and we do not sell it. Because of how RSS works we need the permission "Access all data on any site", but we're

We have been approached by big web data collection companies to sell the browser data generated. (Even by a big speaker company with two products of the same name ;) In one very dark moment many years ago we actually did integrate with one of those providers. They promised +3000 USD net per month of passive income, but in reality it netted about 1k USD per month. We had it in around 1.5 months before I removed it because I just felt too dirty. This was in very dark moment of my life where I had given up on a lot of things, I regret it heavily. By no means is that an excuse, but I've learned from it and will never consider anything close ever again.

We've gotten so many offers over the years. The first one was actually a legitimate acquisition offer by our now biggest competitor, the actually just wanted the product as an addon :)

But after that it's just been shady gmail-addresses with fake names, but also big Israeli data collection companies that use and sell aggregated data. The offer has been anywhere from 1000 USD to 50,000 USD, but I always felt that this extension was the closest thing to fulfilling my dream of a small software business where I'm my own boss.

It seems GDPR really killed this business, because we have not gotten any legitimate offers from real companies since.

We do offer a SaaS version, in addition to the local-only version, which we monetise with upgrades. It's just like Feedly or any other SaaS RSS reader. The local-only version we do not read the user generated data.
But are they really better? I.e if the CPU can have any cost then maybe, but if looking at any performance level where both AMD and Intel are present, then AMD is always cheaper?
I've seen comments on HN by members of ACiD. Maybe they will make an appearance again?
This is why cgroups were invented. They solve this problem. Start a process in its own cgroup, and you can later confidently kill the process and all of its descendants. Container "technologies" use cgroups extensively, as does systemd service management.
We have a premium upgrade for users of our SaaS product, that's doing well. You can read about that business here: https://www.indiehackers.com/product/feeder
For the extra energy you can and probably would eat the lowest carbon food available which is going to be stuff like rice and pasta. You are not going to have the digestive capacity to metabolize a lot of extra meat just for energy which you would tend to avoid for economic reasons.

Just existing takes the majority of energy for warm blooded creatures so the percentage increase due to an increase of physical activity is relatively small.

Physical activity is the cure for many medical conditions. Medical treatment has a carbon cost, probably a significant one.
You can't really compare an established semiconductor company that has real earnings with a fantasy of global domination in the transport industry.

If you compare Intel vs AMD based on P/E, there's a lot of growth priced into AMD that has yet to materialize. Don't expect good earnings to push up the stock price even further. In fact, you can expect a drop even after good sales numbers, as traders will use that opportunity to sell.
Just don't actually go and look, if you're not prepared for the fantasy to be broken that such persons are super productive and doing quality work.

There's enough dysfunction to go around that all types of programmer can be uniquely afflicted, and usually are.

> Like many of the 5-10% of the population living with stereoblindness,

I would have called BS on this, but seems legit, just lacking a bit on nuance

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4934608/

"It is widely thought that about 5% of the population have a lazy eye and lack stereo vision, so it is often supposed that most of the population (95%) have good stereo abilities. We show that this is not the case; 68% have good to excellent stereo (the haves) and 32% have moderate to poor stereo (the have-nots). Why so many people lack good 3-D stereo vision is unclear but it is likely to be neural and reversible."
If China takes that action the US can cancel China's bonds.

What was that saying again about how hard it is to get someone to realise something when their paycheck depends on them not realising it?
The comment you are replying to is not making any judgment on the morality of the state, and is likely in agreement with you. It's just pointing out that the grandparent's rhetorical suggestion is undermined by an incorrect premise (that people don't know about US atrocities and their criticism and would be appalled to know them, where actually such information is easily available)

Disagree, many if not most gamers build their PCs. On my forum, in every new build thread, all advise Ryzen, no one advises Intel.
How is branch prediction implemented in microprocessors?
To all the people wondering why "replace battle tested ZK" and how "consensus is hard": its right there under the motivation header:

> enabling support for more partitions

I don't know if anyone of you ever ran a high-throughput Kafka cluster with a large number of partitions (as in, thousands of them), but its not pretty. Rebalancing can easily take half an hour after a rollout, and throughput is degraded during that time. We recently had to move to shared topics because it became untenable.

This is a very welcome change!
Are these milliseconds?
The visual evoked response latency ( time taken from the eye to electrical activity in the occipital cortex ) is about 88 ms in Women and 92 ms in men. There will be additional time for the visual object ( eg cursor) to be processed and appreciated in higher centres.
I am glad to see you respond here! It was one of your comments here on HN that brought me back to PROLOG and your homepage was a great inspiration to me.

Does SLDNF really not terminate in cases that produce a cyclic answer or is it the subsequent step that replaces instantiated variables with values that will not terminate? E.g. the step that prints frames? In the latter case, would an occurs check solve the problem?

How is tabling different from SLD with memoization? If this is too complicated to explain in passing, pointers to literature would be welcome!
That's true, it changes the book materially, I think.

The problem Jira solves is giving a useless, parasitic class of managers visibility and control of what teams of developers do, because the managers cannot and will not learn what the developers actually do. This is done even at the expense of the productivity of the developers.

Of course, there are good managers of developers. But they neither use nor need Jira.

Personally, I've reached a point where I think changes are irreversible - there is no point trying to persuade the world to down tools, because the developing world is not going to listen (understandably so) and it's probably too late anyway (changes originally predicted by models to happen around 2070 are already here). From now on, we just have to put our collective minds to preparedness and countering: we will have to manage the excess water and heat as best as we can, and accept populations will be displaced.

Unlike with medieval plagues, we understand this problem and most of its effects. We can deal with it, as long as we don't deny it nor use it to push unrealistic beliefs.
I'm unfortunately ignorant on history of serfdom in Western Europe, but serfs in Russia were effectively owned by landowners. Killings, corporal punishment, family separation were routine practices.

Motion smoothing is ruining cinema
I've seen this article before. A lot of people that are active on the internet like to assume that everyone is using the latest tech and can just use whatever tech they like. This is rarely the case. I've spent the majority of my career tending to old code bases.

There is a lot of legacy code that is still working fine. There is a lot of old C# code bases that are working exactly as intended in now unsupported .NET versions.

One of the constant annoyances of some of the newer tech stacks is that developers constantly break the API meaning that when you upgrade the framework version you have to fix code and probably tests as well. It is absolutely infuriating when an API is changed when the old API was working perfectly well.

I wonder if Scott Hanselman ever had to maintain large system while having limited resources to do so. Churn is bad for most, apart from companies who must sell new things to keep on going, like software companies. Moving fast and breaking things is great when you don't have to consider churn cost. Calling the anti-churn crowd "dark matter developers" seems at least a bit derogatory.

Well, what you wrote was :

> It’s practically a trope that every time this subject comes up, the top-rated comment is a skeptical response...from a junior developer.

I looked at the top rated comment for the other times this exact same article was posted on hacker news. For none of those, the top rated comment "is a skeptical response...from a junior developer".
Actually, it's more often (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16934500, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9361580) from a self declared senior developer. And none of those top comments really collaborate the article. Talk about confirming one's biases...

But taking into account all the anecdote from senior devs available just on hackernews, there's no consensus emerging whether the article makes sense or not.

So, at this point, I don't really feel the need for a plan B, even if being 40 years old is not really this far away for me. And it seems from the shared stories that whether this is needed or not is really based on personal experience, and is not a generally needed advice. I certainly hope to be in a path where I'm honing my skills well enough to be able to continue beind paid to engineer software after I'm 40.

I think it was meant very much in the figurative way. In continental Europe, Roman society never really stopped, it just changed a lot. Even Goths and Lombards would try to "become Romans" as much as replace them, happily adopting titles and structures (with varying levels of success).

A big hindrance to seeing continuity is that popular knowledge of "romanness" is so focused on the late republican/early imperial era and there is surely not much visibly continuity between early medieval and a snapshot of the Roman state outdated by several hundred years.
Thank you, rather lenghty, but really interesting.

Even if it is - understandably in a prospect for investors - a tad bit (IMHO) scaring, this is the central issue:

>No Market for ES Lumber in North America

>A return on a Subscriber’s investment in the Company is dependent on the aggregate of board feet of ES Lumber that the Company is able to harvest from its ES Tree crops and the price per board foot for which it can sell its ES Lumber, both of which are subject to numerous external
factors beyond the control of the Company and the Company.

>The market for ES Lumber in North America is unestablished.

>If the Company is unable to develop the market or if the market does not expand on its own or if the Company is unable to sell to the Asian market, the Company may not be able to sell its ES Lumber for a profit or at all, which may result in a loss of some or all of
a Subscriber’s investment in the Company.

In a nutshell the issue is that there is not (yet) a market for the wood, and in order to create the market one needs to have substantial quantities of the material to offer.

The provided "Fender" example is typical (egg and chicken):

>WTT contracted with Fender Guitars in 2010 to supply ES Lumber for the building of Telecaster and Stratocaster Guitars. Fender was pleased with the results of their prototypes and requested thousands of board feet to build more guitars and speaker boxes. Due to limited availability of ES Lumber, WTT was unable to fulfil the demand at the time. However, the Company has recently
located a source of 3 million board feet of ES Lumber and is currently negotiating the sale of the lumber to Fender and other buyers.

You have legislators and media critical of the government wrt CA and migrant camps. That's why you don't see so much civil disobedience, because these concerns are visibly reflected in the government.

This doesn't mean I disagree with you that Chinese who know more about Tiananmen wouldn't "rise up", but against your argument that it is propaganda in the West that prevents people from civil disobedience.

I would agree that propaganda and soft power shape opinion and taboo in the West and US, but on the other hand, I don't think that this insidious and subtle propaganda is anywhere near as powerful as the total propaganda and coercion practiced by some other regimes.
Our continuous spying and surveillance of non Americans is the perfect answer to the naysayers that argue the government wouldn't spy on us if it could. It literally does everything it can to fuck everyone over it isn't legally not allowed to fuck.
