Except by itself it does little? Something needs to add documents and something else needs to search indexes. A typical ELK deployment has logstash and kibana as well. ES is a component.

But yeah...having used similarly designed apps(including a lot of apache project apps),it is a good design but only because of the specific use-case. Full blown apps (like ones that would use ES as a backend) might need to be non-monolithic.

Curiously,does the author consider docker-deployed apps monolithic?

Unless you happen to have scratched your CD really deeply to actually damage the data layer (which requires grooves of 1mm in depth), it's fixable though, a scratch in a vinyl is not.

Also, the last few albums that I bought did not come as jewel cases but instead "fancy" cardboard cases.
These days I prefer canvas/hemp bags anyway.

It has appeal to me in the same way as the old Mercs do...overengineered for the task at hand. That bag can probably do 30kg..realistically I only need 10. But that extra 20kg translates to solid feel.

Alternatively, every time when it’s not sunny... meaning all night every night. Of course, that would require experimenting if it’s actually more efficient, but AFAIK that’s what a MIT experiment found regarding growing basil (though they were optimising for flavour, not energy efficiency).

A slight counterpoint that a lot of crypto investors will point out is that BTC's marketcap is artificially inflated by Tether. Tether has been printing a lot of coins (highly likely without backing) which has gone directly to buying BTC, pushing it higher than other coins trading against fiat.

Marketcap is generally a pretty poor metric to use, as it can be gamed in various ways.

How to Write Well
Do you have any evidence to support your assertions of this being a likely cause, or that cost cutting could be to blame?
In principle yes, in practice it's hard to say. Discussion of the social and geopolitical aspects could be acceptable if it wasn't repetitive and remained respectful. Unfortunately, the odds are higher of it swerving into angry repetition of the same tedious points over and over again, such as "why do they spend money on this rather than toilets", which HN has seen a great deal of in the last few days. Similarly, if a comment starts out by going on about the "enemies of India", there's little chance the thread won't degenerate.
It seems to me the author is arguing against a point nobody is making, and conflating numbers that are not the concern. I've never heard the arguments that the author is trying to refute, and I consider myself at least mildly educated in the area.

I understand the author is using 'currently threatened species' which are well-counted and well-understood, at least to the best of our ability. But that is not the concern.

The concern is that runaway climate change, precipitated by corrupt governments and corporations worldwide via cheating emissions, lying to the public about CO2 effects, etc. The concern is the radical future uncertainty about how quick changes in future climate may alter ecosystems in a cataclysmic way from which they may not be able to adapt in time.

That this has happened on a small scale already is a telling sign that things could escalate quickly if the world does not get a handle on climate change. The author points to optimistic evidence on local scales but ignores the larger unknowns of backwards progress on climate change, such as trying to bring coal back to US production at scale, etc.

Edit: The author has this to say on the topic, which is unsourced and I believe so wildly optimistic without reason that it discredits most of the work:

> My own prediction is that climate change will be deemed intolerable for humans long before it speeds up extinction rates, and even if radical steps have to be taken to head it off, they will be taken.

The steps have not been taken, nor is there visible evidence they will be taken soon. In fact much evidence supports that steps are being taken to speed up climate change.
Panasonic makes the battery cells. Tesla builds them into the battery pack that goes into the final products. And this happens under the same roof, and the cell design is a joint venture. Tesla's battery cell manufacturing far from a black-box process where Tesla wrote a check and a third party delivers battery cells with no other involvement.
Many exchanges report user's activity to the IRS.

Moreover, even if your tax authority wouldn't currently have a way to know-- the penalties for cheating can be very serious so it's in your best interest to comply with your obligations.

This is essentially how all income/gains tax works in the west: Governments have very limited ability to catch people, but they scale the penalties so that the risk from audits and whistle-blowing are enough so that most voluntarily comply. After all, cash is quite anonymous especially for small amounts.

If you're constrained to spend your money only in ways that could never be found in an audit or revealed by a spurned lover, did you ever really have that money in the first place?
I used to work at a Scala shop and to me, the future looks great. 2.13 is nice, and 3.0 should be very nice. The language is a joy to work with and insanely powerful. I wouldn’t say there’s a better practical language out there (OCaml could be in the future though).

Scala is significantly more powerful than both Kotlin or Java 11. Why would you want to use either instead of Scala?

Well, there’s almost no fish left in the second largest river in Europe, the Danube. I mean, there is some still left, so you could say that the species are not extinct by definition, but we are at best at 5% numbers in terms of body mass compared to 40-50 years ago and more. Source: me, whose parents live in a village on the lower Danube. I’m sure similar stories can be told about countless other ecosystems which are not island-based, like those mentioned in the article.
I found about 250 miles for the e-Tron and 315 miles for the Model X competing WLTP ratings. I imagine aerodynamics are a huge factor in this difference.
> A better solution, without giving up privacy, might be a social system of flagging people for unsafe driving, aggressive driving, etc. [...] I imagine everyone would drive a lot nicer if there were consequences to aggressive driving.

And what's the consequence if you got flagged? I find it disconcerting for the government to dole out punishments based on (what is essentially) downvotes from random people. How can you ensure those flagged people are getting due process?
...would only make sense if everything was recorded and processed analog from studio to press, and then immediately converted to digital on that first play (...and then I'd also be hearing a lot of analog audio equipment, some like this, I hate it, clarity, cohesion and reproducibility float my boat).

I'm not sure, but I'm guessing in modern recording techniques, it's pretty soon converted to a digital format, and from that point on, vinyl wouldn't make sense, as any analog conversion (and even worse, a following reconversion to digital) is tantamount with quality loss (if you still know photocopiers, it's like copying the copy, and then copying that copy, etc.. or in more modern terms, endlessly resaving a JPG picture, or something like that).

At the risk of sounding polemic: There's a lot of ...sound from analog audio equipment on vinyl, that's non-existent on a digital format.

It's quite ironic, humans abandoned analog formats in video, where that is a definite loss (DS9 and VOY, anyone?), since we can always add more pixel density in playback devices, but embrace it in audio, which is... well, at least in my opinion, a subjective loss, too, and unless we can consciously slow down time-perception, 44.1 kHz sampling will forever suffice.
> Is there an option to tell all applications that they should not bypass it?

Yes there is. If your internal recursive DNS servers return an NXDOMAIN for "use-application-dns.net", then Firefox will stick with gethostbyname(3) (or whatever). See:

* https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/configuring-networks-di...

If you’re using NLnet’s unbound(8) as a recursive DNS server, it’s possible to use the “local-zone” directive to force an NXDOMAIN:

* https://serverfault.com/questions/625170/

For ISC’s BIND, the response policy zone (RPZ) mechanism does something similar on BIND 9.8+ (it’s more flexible, so more complicated to configure):

"Objectively inferior ability to reproduce sounds" is my statement. CD's are an objectively superior way to encode sound in every measurable way.

> A hi end turntable playing vinyl that is clean and well cared for is surprisingly difficult to tell apart from digital audio. It doesn't snap crackle pop if its clean and cared for.

I agree, and I'm sure if someone spends the same amount on a loss-less audio setup (or even a CD), they could achieve even better sound.

> So maybe hipsters jumped in for a good ol chunk of nostalgia. So?

I don't think it's so much nostalgia as it is a desire to create some kind of in-club. Wine-snobs, whisky-snobs, craft-beer snobs, film-snobs, food-snobs. Vinyl is just another form of self-important hipster snobbery.
> Gone are the days of "The net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it."

But it's clear that it matters just what's being censored. Surely you wouldn't say the same trite clever-sounding hackerspeak if we're talking about censorship of threats, assault and child pornography, would you?
Not necessarily, some claim more anonymity than others.
I really wish the Riemann-Zeta Function were more often explained in terms of a prime number sieve. It's actually not particularly difficult to follow and the connection between the function and the distribution of primes would be completely obvious.

> But that has been true since WWII, as was clear to anyone who attended the school (or worked there)

Yeah, pretty sure that’s a tiny percentage of the general population. I don’t see how that invalidates anything.
But if you made 7 or 8 figures, then BTC being at 50% of it's all-time high still keeps you at approximately 7 or 8 figures.

Just saying that even if they didn't get out, they still did marvelously.
In the same way as not many people bought Bitcoin at the beginning and sold for $20k, the stories of buying at $20k and losing 95% are equally unlikely. The crash took the whole of 2018 to happen. Did the guys with all their savings in Crypto not take any of it out while it was dropping? Seems unlikely to me

Just because the economists have been 99 44/100% unsuccessful making their field a meaningful science does not mean that sociology can't make progress as a science. I DID outline some of how might try to do that; I DID see what my wife, Rossi, and Coleman did. I didn't say it would be easy, but I believe it CAN be done.

One of the best reasons for science is the subsequent applied science, and one of the best uses for applied science is making money.
Author here. The "monolith" I'm describing is an application-level characteristic. The deployment container, whether it's a bare metal server, a VM, or a Docker container doesn't matter.

I admit that my definition is not necessarily universal, but IMO the characteristics I listed are all highly desirable. I pushed for this model when I worked at Amazon (an AWS service as 1 monolith) and I've seen it work great even at large scale (close to 10K hosts, millions of requests per second, etc).
Tommy Gold looks increasingly prescient. Refer to his book, “The Deep Hot Biosphere”, written nearly twenty years ago. (And check him out on Wikipedia - he also first stated how the ear hears different frequencies and that pulsars are spinning neutron stars.)

These organisms are close to the root of the tree. Photosynthesis came much later.

Absorption of what? If you’re talking about photons, strictly speaking they are not described by Schroedinger’s equation at all (it applies to massive, non-relativistic particles). The double-slit experiment is often discussed in quantum mechanics in terms of matter waves (having interferences in light is not particularly surprising anyway).

Signor-Lipps Effect
Yeah, I had at one time like 57 or something like that bitcoins, I losed them in a HDD failure (External hdd against the floor kind of failure xD) and if there is ocasion I tell to people about it because I like how they think I would have sold at the peak point and make more than a million dollars and then I break them reality saying that not, I would have sold them at... 50$? 100$? For all of them? It would have been an awesome profit and I didn't generate any income at that time so I would have SURELY sold at that price or even less. Its like thinking some people were idiots because they didnt invest in Apple, or Microsoft or Uber and that it was really clear and blah blah blah... And yeah, the next Apple is probably some startup starting now and you know what? They are not investing in it.
Another really interesting figure from that article:

> 3,500 people are slinging seedlings into soil [...]
> punching about 80 baby trees a second

That works out to about 1.3 minutes of work per tree planted.

They do note that it's skilled labour - it takes a few seasons experience to hit those rates. But BC conditions may not be the friendliest, either.

Hitting similar totals in a day instead of six months, but with perhaps 2-3 orders of magnitude more people is an extremely impressive effort!
Yes and those embargos indeed put India many years behind. I do think it's quite admirable that the country developed these things indigenously. But we should take the existing good and advances from all around us and leapfrog. And build upon it. Instead of getting into the trap of developing our own. American capitalism is indeed a great example in this regards on economic expansion. They leveraged the global imbalance and came out stronger despite job losses. SpaceX, Tesla, Calico, Boston Dynamics and many others are well footed into the future because of that.
As is often pointed out, a big weakness of India's economy is the poor interconnections with the global economy. In addition, as you have pointed out, this is also a source of, or at least opportunity for, strength.

I am not sure the balance is correct (it's absurd that as a PIO my investment opportunities are better not only than other foreign investors, but citizens too), but it's arguable and worth thinking about.
I'm a smart audiophile. I listen to digital sources. But I like vinyl because I like the aesthetics of it. It doesn't sound better.

I'm also 56 years old so I grew up with vinyl. There's nothing "hip" about me.
Excessive working hours are used as an excuse by medical cartel to justify practices that drive down the supply of providers through licensing requirements, and drive up salaries for doctors and everybody else up the chain. "See how hard we are working and how long we had to stay in school? We deserve to charge $500 for a 10 minute visit". "An acne cream that Europeans get over the counter for $5? We studied for 10 years and we know best what's safest for patients, so they HAVE to go to us first to get a $300 prescription." This is literally the arguments that medical associations have been using to lobby state and federal agencies to keep the status quo.

What needs to be done is a dramatic shift of power away from doctors in the medical industry. Flooding of medical labor markets with mid-levels - nurses, PAs, RAs, PTs - and relaxing respective scope of practice laws. Physicians will fight to death against new competition, even if it means killing themselves with unreasonable working hours.

I'd use Scala or Rust for everything.

In Java, one creates a 55 lines getter-setter class with concurrency bugs and accidental mutation risks, and maybe plus a 55 lines Builder too.

Whilst in Scala I create a 5 lines case class, immutable and thread safe, all that's needed.

These kinds of claims only discredit the whole discussion. Climate change is a serious problem, but fearmongering doesn't solve anything. How about just stating the facts, instead of chiming in with your own non-scientific opinions and accusing everyone of pretending? Just so you can get more clicks.

I mean, the better way of doing this is just keep your application code stateless and make frequent backups of your data stores. If the developers knew they had server code that wasn't checked into SVN, your solution makes more sense, but they just had no idea. Even in corporate, if I need to set up a new box for a service, I don't backup an image from another box and deploy it to the new one - I just pull my Docker image and run that.

I have tought of this before. Maybe a "HuD" display (with dash mounted lcd as an alternate) where not just other drivers but the road and traffic authorities communicate things to the driver. Like tell them what lanes to stay on based on destination,real time info about the current lane,notify users when they drive too slow/fast for their lane and communicate other drivers intent and much more...except define it as international protocol standard.
That's pretty much true of any major US university. Other than small liberal arts schools, most US universities really run on NSF/NIH/DOE/DOD/Corporate funding.
Crypto caps are calculated by multiplying the price by the potentially circulating supply. In most cases there isn't enough liquidity to accommodate the biggest holders, so there isn't much actual circulation happening. If there was enough liquidity to unload this dormant supply, then the actual coin prices would be much lower.

Bitcoin doesn't really have this problem - the trading volumes are much higher and there is a healthy OTC market for huge trades.
As others wrote, examples, examples, examples.
And ask for code to be thoroughly commented. And data! Each variable, each constant, sizes, limits, caveats, traps etc. must tell you what they do and why: you aren't just getting the working code, you are getting also the bugs, minus the subconscious inhibitions that prevented the old developers from making them appear.
Learning what the code does will be hard by itself, but debugging without proper documentation can become a nightmare.
Fair enough, and thanks for responding. I’ll try to keep my mouth shut in this particular topic for a while at least. :)
I don't think you're understanding the gist of what I'm saying. Of course it's _possible_ to recreate the exact _audio_ experience of vinyl with a higher fidelity medium like a CD. But it's not about just the audio. It's the tactile, visual, and cultural experience around the audio. Just like food isn't just about the flavor.

And with your closing comment, I don't think you're describing as great a percentage of vinyl fans as you think you are. Sure, if you read audiophile forums you'll find such individuals. And if you encounter such an individual, they'll likely be extremely vocal about their opinions. But we're talking about vinyl outselling CDs here. That's a lot of people. If you asked most of them which format had higher fidelity, they'd certainly reply, "the one that doesn't pop and scratch."
