> I hope marketing won't have the last word

It's interesting you think JVM support is just marketing.

For millions of developers around the globe, JVM support is a feature, and one they really can't do without.

Dart is a liability to them because unproven, and its future is equally uncertain given Google's track record.
> Why spend money to watch it in the theater, if you can legally get a copy of it online? Without IP protections, any theater employee could legally create a copy of the film (not to mention the audience) and distribute it.

That already happens with a lot of movies where the movie is leaked (even sometimes before it lands in the cinema) and it does not seem to change anything to the theater results.
Hey community,

We are looking for feedback on KubePlus API Add-on (https://github.com/cloud-ark/kubeplus), which is our on-going work for declarative platform stack creation using Custom Resources on Kubernetes. For popular cloud platforms, there have been tools like AWS CloudFormation and Terraform that enable ‘as-Code’ creation of infrastructure stacks. With KubePlus our goal is to provide similar experience on Kubernetes simplifying the discovery and use of Kubernetes Custom Resources.

Your thoughts, comments and general feedback on KubePlus is much appreciated.
I don't know why USPS doesn't just raise its rates across the board. I understand why, 50, 20, or even perhaps 15 years ago, it was important to keep mail ultra cheap. But today, I'd argue >95% of mail comes from businesses, and most of that are ads in some form or another. It's ridiculous to me that I can send a piece of mail to the other side of the USA in 2 days for less than $0.50. I don't want prices to go up, of course, but at the same time, I have trouble listening to the woe-is-me attitude of the USPS, while their pricing scheme makes no sense at all.
>Workshops are another form of a live programming show that people will pay money for.

I know there are training companies that charge.

You also have workshops as part of paid conferences but I assume the vast bulk of those workshops are done for free by people being paid by their employer. And Meetups are usually free with the same people from companies along with those showing off or promoting some side project.

I agree with your general point around teaching/training. It's just that you're competing with a lot of free content, often subsidized by some company's product sales.
It's still free, you just dont realize you're paying via app data, and the open mic on your phone. Ohh, and the tracking of data when you dont goto FB too.
No. Regulations have completely prevented anyone from ever building more public transit. One company, all they did was try to get a few more buses on the road, and they were shut down very swiftly.

Remote worker stuff. I think with a little more tech, we can make a lot of people happier, having free time, living where they want, spend more time near family and commute less which would reduce emissions. This is short term and the impact could be enormous

Also, we need to standardize GDPR and cookie consent forms, so i can use a blocker for them , they are seriously messing my productivity
Without alternatives it will simply reduce commerce in that area which, sure, will reduce traffic.

When these suggestions are made HN seems to forget people still need to live the time between when this pain is enforced and if/when a solution arises.

Wherever you come out on the authors' core argument, this is an important perspective to consider. Companies need to open their minds about phenomena they ultimately can't fully control. Seeing piracy as an issue with some level of nuance, rather than attacking it without context, is simply more productive.
Yes, but thanks to this report you can now prove it and see how prevalent this practice is.
We're working on something like that with Bitesnap. We added "builders" that let you customize the ingredients for common foods and for now we don't mix user submitted items across users. We plan on adding a way to cross verify user submitted data to keep the DB clean.

Ask HN: What are good learning resources on concurrency patterns with databases?
I'm interested in learning more about coordination techniques in distributed systems using database technologies, in particular using MySQL (InnoDB). For example, it's not hard to find projects out there leveraging technologies such etcd, dynamodb or redis to build all sort of things: queues, locks...
When you need to stick with MySQL or similar relational databases, what are good resources out there? Books, courses, docs, etc?

I want to build a service that could have many instances running. Each instance would promote itself to lead a particular task that needs to be performed. I think that's doable using InnoDB's transaction model but do you know of good examples out there that I could use as a reference?

Integrating control in adaptive systems. We see a big trend where (parts of) systems can adapt their behaviour to particularities of the environment they are deployed in with the biggest technical driver being machine learning.

Controlling this adaptivity is usually done in an ad hoc fashion by writing code surrounding the adaptive component, usually a ml model

This yields many problems ranging from "artificial stupidity" to problems with safety and degraded power of users.

By integrating control into adaptive systems, we might get the best of both worlds: tell the program what (not) to do where you know this upfront and let it figure out how to act by itself elsewhere

There is almost no scientific evidence for the idea that complete support will prevent adverse outcomes for this group.

Long-term the evidence is the opposite. Claiming that the difference between long and short-term outcomes is explained by the difference between support levels is not science. It is guessing.

"One hypothesis, the social stress model—which posits that stigma, prejudice, and discrimination are the primary causes of higher rates of poor mental health outcomes for these subpopulations—is frequently cited as a way to explain this disparity. While non-heterosexual and transgender individu- als are often subject to social stressors and discrimination, science has not shown that these factors alone account for the entirety, or even a major- ity, of the health disparity between non-heterosexual and transgender subpopulations and the general population. There is a need for extensive research in this area to test the social stress hypothesis and other poten- tial explanations for the health disparities, and to help identify ways of addressing the health concerns present in these subpopulations."

In Georgia you can see the path I-75 and I-16 take through the southern half of the state.

16 is notorious for speed traps and other shadier stuff. Including road blocks on exit ramps with drug dogs waiting to sniff cars. They bait people into getting off at the exits by leaving fake signs about upcoming road blocks. When College kids were moving or getting out of school they’d be out in full force.

Sadly my Dad grew up in one of these towns. The fines were the only way to keep parts of the town alive.
what setup do you have ? Because I play on Linux and I don't appreciate any performance drop. For example, Stellaris and Doom fly's on my machine.
> Then I got really smart and just stopped working downtown completely and got a job in the suburbs with free parking and while the traffic is still bad, it's nothing like heading downtown is.

In my case, working downtown would have been the smart move. I lived in a suburb and worked in a neighboring suburb. The drive was 10 minutes and I could avoid the freeway. I looked into taking the bus because there was a bus stop right outside my apartments and found it would take a minimum of 40 minutes, but realistically with traffic and decent timing on the transfer, it would have taken over an hour. The reason? All the bus routes were essentially straight shots to and from the city, so to take the bus I'd have had to go all the way into downtown, switch buses, and ride all the way back out.

The exact opposite is true. Savers have been spoiled for generations because they got a positive return without doing any work, or bearing any risk. Those days have ended, at least in Europe.

Nobody owes you a risk-free positive return. If investors don't need your money, then they don't need your money. Money is only a store of value over short time periods (and if inflation is high not even then). Money only has value because you can get it today and use it in transactions tomorrow. If you take that money and stick it in a mattress for a year, nobody owes anything for doing so.

I don't want to downplay Elm's accomplishments here, but I really disagree with the "RealWorld" example here. Does a 29kb asset make a meaningful difference compared to a 100kb asset? Especially if the framework is a fixed chunk of that, the space savings as the project grows in size is not incredibly meaningful in the grand scheme of things. 50kb of excess code on my page due to missed optimizations isn't going to keep me up at night.

A more meaningful comparison would be "we ported these actual production apps to Elm and here's the difference." Finding comparisons between languages like Elm and JS often feels like an exercise in microoptimization: I don't care if it can update the DOM 20% faster if React or Angular already does it within 16ms, or if the download time for my bundle is reduced by 50% if it already loads in 200ms for my 95th percentile. What's going to get me interested in tools like Elm are solutions for actual issues that I'm toiling over, like providing better tools for mocking in tests, ways to build custom lint rules that don't involve me becoming a metaprogramming expert, isomorphic rendering without heartache, etc.

Maybe content creators should give away more stuff for free?

20% of downloads per month or something? Or a lottery?

Or maybe this indicates that their prices are too high?

If 50% of the viewers pirated, maybe a 50% lower price would be good? Maybe another value...don't know.
Well, it actually does.

The convenience of a car is determined by how likely you choose a car over other means when you need to get somewhere. If there's less roads, you're less likely to choose car, thus the lowering the convenience factor. If there's no roads at all, owning a car is meaningless since you can't drive anywhere, and its convenience is pretty much zero.
"using international shipping as a profit centre"

Canada is truly awful in this respect. In Canada, it might cost around $50 to send a small package to another country (excluding the US, which is a little cheaper). In the US, the same package might cost a little over $10.

I'm in the US and I occasionally have to ship small light packages to Canada and was always frustrated when it cost me $10, 3x as much to ship a few hundred miles to Canada compared to 2,000 miles within this country. Then I learned that shipping that same package within Canada would cost almost $20.
It's interesting to compare the parallelogram structure when you use only primes with the structure when you use any number. Perhaps you can add another graphic where you show all the numbers in gray and the prime numbers in blue.
IDK, mostly thinking about really difficult things that affect a lot of people and are mostly political in nature:

* The housing crisis.

* Our cities and how they relate to the environment.

* The education system in the US (I'm quite stumped by this one).
just because that work was "creative"?

That's where the IP theory all falls down. Originality or uniqueness doesn't exists, creation is all about recreating from what you learned from others. Creation is stealing in a moral and respectful way. Protecting your creations with IP laws is immoral and unrespectful against your public and previous artists you took from
Ah, I assumed above-ground just mean not underground but looks like that was wrong.
SAP and IBM are both absolutely consulting firms, with the caveat that tech consulting means you're actually building solutions for your customers and not just telling them what they should build.

I think the biggest confusion is that Palantir is not in the data collection industry. They make tools to analyze data and contract out consultants (Forward Deployed Engineers) to do the analysis -- but the data is not being sourced by them. There's nothing you can do with Palantir that you couldn't do with any consulting firm or an in-house data-science/data-engineering team. Palantir's value proposition is that they have better tools and smarter people, but there's nothing magical or particularly nefarious about it.
The article doesn’t seem to mention any of the risks of this type of procedure, only the potential benefit (possible immunity to AIDS)

That's my experience as well: apt is only "slow" in that sometimes it has to download and write gigs of stuff to disk.

Now brew and conda, they often take minutes to solve for the environment, which is what I think of when you say "slow". That part is probably mostly algorithmic, and it should be fast, unlike network and disk.
You're saying that as if Marvel movies are some kind of pinnacle of creativity and quality.

In fact, an argument could be made using those same movies as an example, that these excessive IP laws have the exact opposite effect and actually end up stunting creativity and originality as the big corporations aim to milk every last penny from decades old franchises and ideas, instead of seeking new and original concepts, because the former is a far more profitable endeavor. I mean, look at the state of Hollywood right now - when was the last time you saw a truly novel and noteworthy movie, not based on an already established franchise/idea/series?
Let's hear your idea then.

There are an awful lot of people nay-saying ideas to make stuff better and extraordinarily few people coming up with ideas to make stuff better.

What do you think will be the outcome of that?

I just got an email from eBay Main Street, which is eBay's mailing list for political issues which affect their sellers.

No she's not. She's not a serious academic and nobody who studies Lacan, Derrida, and Foucault would take her seriously. She's a propagandist and entertainer. She's not even a popularizer of complex ideas because I honestly think she either doesn't understand the thinkers she critiques or she does understand them but decides to score cheap points by attacking straw man arguments.

If you want an easy way to engage with the ideas these French thinkers put forward I highly suggest listening to Stephen West's "Philosophize This" podcast. He not only covers "French Philosophers" but much of Western philosophy and does so in a pretty accessible and relatively unbiased manner.

The "Introducing" series of books can also be a good resource for understanding complex thinkers: https://www.amazon.com/Introducing-Foucault-Graphic-Chris-Ho...

Although honestly, it's just as important to understand other thinkers in the Western philosophy tradition to grasp where thinkers are coming from.

Having said all that, yes, there are many people in American academia whose understanding of these thinkers is just as bad if not worse than Paglia's and these folks give academic study of French philosophy a bad name. Paglia has built a career of attacking people like these, not by holding them to higher standards but by merely sinking to their level and engaging in simple-minded, yet entertaining, polemics.

But it's always going to the be the case that poor thinkers abound. There's also a lot of very poor thinkers in CS, physics and other so-called "hard science" fields. It's just that they're a lot easier to ignore because they're so boring.
You both have a point here. As a long time fedora user and occasional packager I always considered the sudden meta data downloads a terrible issue. On a slow connection not would basically disable your package manager due to timeouts.

I never looked into the technical details of yum/dnf metadata, but I suspect there must be a much smarter way to manage that stuff. Incremental updates for instance, or maybe just a different format (is it not xml?).
I'm glad someone has said this, it's one thing to want the IP law altered but to assume that nothing would change if IP law didn't exist seems naive.
Don't confuse "leftism" for "authoritarian" or "welfare capitalism." I advocate neither.
Ask HN: How do you remember how all the config files should be configured?
There are so many things. Webpack, ESLint, Google Cloud, AWS, tsconfig, and next thousand configs for other tools. I hate it. I always forget how to make it work, usually have to spend tens of minutes, or sometimes hours, browsing the documentation. I just feel extremely unproductive.

This is an interesting (closed) bug filed against their SSL config generator. https://github.com/mozilla/ssl-config-generator/issues/8

It demonstrates that support for Google Analytics is not unanimous within Mozilla, and even if someone removes it from a product page that action is detected by others and reversed.

Privacy aware users should block this sort of thing at their router using a hosts file, or Pi-hole, which is far more effective than calling companies out on Twitter and hoping for the best.

I'm using bspwm on my personal machine and Xfce on my work machine. There's some bug with bspwm and my work's EliteBook docking station that I haven't figured out how to solve yet - something to do with how the internal screen and VGA output are layout...

It's surprisingly complete and stable compared to how light it is. The EliteBook w/ an Intel 520 can't run Gnome without major slowdowns. It has some visually rougher edges compared to Gnome or KDE but it's perfectly doable to make it very presentable, and doesn't take as much resources as both of them - although KDE is not remotely as heavy as Gnome.

I really don't understand how Gnome became this monster of a thing it is today.
The NYPL In Bryant Park? Basement floor hallway past the bathrooms. There’s a separate entrance for it also on 42nd st? I go there all the time for books and free public restrooms. The big NYPL space is for all the other things libraries do, like workspaces, meeting spaces, etc. I think there’s also a very rare book section but that requires special permission.
It's not mass media who's paying for it, it's investors who are expecting a return on their monetary investment. Or, put another way, the people paying to have these movies and books made today have zero interest in the books and movies themselves, only the money to be made from their sale.

A patron, in comparison, is a single entity who is interested in the book, and who is capable of shelling out the $50,000 (a nice round number representing the salary for a good, but not great, writer and editor for the duration of getting the book produced) to have that book made. I'm not capable of doing that; I am guessing most people are not.

> it bears consideration whether the corporations who make things for profit are as good at creating such works

That's up to each person to decide. Is GRRM's Game of Thrones such a work? The Dark Tower series? Avengers Infinity War and Endgame?

Honestly, I think that yes, in many ways they are on par with or superior to books such as the Illiad and the Odyssey. They are absolutely better than Moby Dick.
"Table crops" (vegetables, fruits) are not dietary staples, that is primary sources of calories.

Grains are.

Rice. Wheat. Maize (corn). Rye. Oats. Barley. Millet. A handful of others.

A 50# bag of rice (22.7kg) costs less than $20, and provides 17,800 calories, or about 900 calories per dollar, or about 0.1 cents/calorie.

I see chicken at about $2/lb, 102cal/3oz, or 544 cal/lb. That's 2.7 cents/calorie, 27 times more expensive than rice.

(And for the nutritionists out there: kilocalories are not all that food provides, but it's the most significant start. Macros and micros as well as other factors do matter. I've been told.)

Oh: There are also root crops, especially potatoes.
