Ciresi: The countries selected were not chosen because of legal requirements, they were not chosen based on risk, they were not chosen based on political climate (as other countries are facing heightened sanctions from the US). I do hope they were not selected because a customer asked for it - or that could violate anti-boycott laws. In fact, having no objective basis for the restrictions is not conservative - it is careless. (Please let me know immediately if a customer has requested that we not do business with any particular country as that may be a reportable event.) I recommend against proceeding until you have developed a sound basis - that gets applied equally - for any exclusion of any country.

Johnson: I appreciate your position. Please be aware there is an active, time-sensitive contract negotiation linked to this matter. And you need to advocate to the DRI that the company walk away from that contract in order to enact your proposal."

I think Ciresi has been 2/2 in the recent GitLab scandals (she was also against the telemetry issue). The most obvious version of the story is now Ciresi has "gotten in the way" of sales twice now and is being retaliated upon. I'll admit, its rare to see a company flush its morals down the toilet while chasing revenue.
Yep, I can stream 4k without any issues. I don't see any reason why you couldn't run the same stack on the Intel NUC though.

I'd be happy to purchase iTunes movies if I could play them back over Plex, so I can still access my content from one place and have consistency of features across devices. I don't think any commercial platforms really support that though. It's one of the reasons I don't use Lidarr and pirate music too. I'm okay paying for Spotify because it's my one source of music and with the family account everyone can sync songs with their devices. If I had to go to multiple platforms for music the way we do for streaming and movies I wouldn't hesitate to start downloading music again.

With a good editor / editorial staff the reader won't notice at all.
That's largely irrelevant. A computer picks up a discrepancy but no action is taken, and then I'm on the hook for interest and late fees?

But then I've heard "it's your fault we programmed the computer that way" from more than one government entity.

Part of a typical process is that these things are handled privately. Only the rare exceptions go public. That means those that know or can reference cases cannot share this detail. I would provide a citation if I could but I respect the privacy of the process so I can't.

I love playing Magic. I was a bit of a whale player as far as case openings goes. Obviously paper magic became untenable at some point...and I love playing Standard.

Arena has been so fantastic for me. I spend a fraction of what I used to, have all that space back in my apartment and play way more than ever. There are some things that I miss about playing face to face with people, but also there's no way I'd ever play some of my combo decks (any Mirror March...) in paper.
The timeouts this post is talking about are related to credential expiration and when to refresh, not request/connection timeouts like you'd see in microservices. In this case, not expiring credentials isn't a great option because you'd lose a useful security property: Reducing the time window when stolen credentials can be used.

For service behavior (e.g. request/connections), timeouts provide value for services and clients. For services, if you never time out then under failure conditions you either end up saturating your max concurrent request limits or growing your concurrent connections indefinitely until you hit a limit (connections, threads, RAM, CPU). Unless all of your clients are offline batch processes with no latency SLA there's a good chance that the work clogging up your service was abandoned by your clients long before it completes.

Timeouts also help clients decide if/when they should retry. Even if the service never times out, clients can't really tell if their request is just taking a long time or if something is wrong and the request will never succeed (e.g. network partitions, hardware failure). There's at least implicit latency SLAs on most things we do (1 second? how about an hour or week?). Given that there is a limit somewhere, it makes sense to use that limit to get benefits like resiliency in services.

>>>Your timeout is not my timeout.

Absolutely. Client deadlines are a great way to reduce wasted work across distributed systems. e.g. service has 60s timeout, but client has a 5s timeout for an online UI interaction. The client can tell the service to give up if it's not completed within the client's SLA.
You're misled, that's a political ideology driven by hate, not a "school of thought".
Yes, definitely this. I generally buy only via FBA for this reason, I don't mind paying a few dollars more to know I'll get it quickly and also have an easy return process if needed.
The founder of logojoy once said in an interview that he could have stayed as a single founder company.

I think logojoy was pulling in > $350,000 per month at the time.

If he’d sat on that as a single founder he’d be rolling in cash.

Imagine sitting on $350,000 a month for 3 years.... you’d never need to work again.

Instead, venture capital, offices, 40 staff, rebranding failure staff cuts, logojoy gone.
Extremely unprofessional behavior, especially for someone with a law degree. Three serious issues:

#1: She shouldn't be speculating about legal liability in a non-privileged medium. Even if she's correct, the risk is too high that her statements will later be quoted out of context. Keep it in a privileged medium, ideally an in-person meeting or phone call. This is absolutely basic stuff, and I'm sure it's taught even at Mitchell Hamline.

#2: Even if you disagree with a decision, don't leave a written record that you believe your company is legally in the wrong. There are exceptions (you believe you'd be personally liable, and you want the paper trail to make it clear you didn't make the decision), but there is absolutely no reason to make that record public.

#3 (Related) Don't burn bridges on your way out the door. This isn't specific to law - it's just good professional practice. The world is smaller than you think, and you're poisoning your professional network. Doing it publicly is even worse. Why would you be willing to hire someone who has demonstrated that they will publicly torch your company if you make a significant decision they disagree with.

What is the MYOB principle? I did a Google search, but Google seems to think I'm looking for a company out of Australia that makes accounting and resource planning software for businesses. Given your commment and the context of this thread, I suspect that's not what you're referring to.
Yeah, Tim Hockin and I still regret not designing the DNS name search process in Kube better. If we had, we would have avoided the need for 5 and could have kept 90% of the usability win of “name.namespace.svc” and “name” being resolvable to services without having to go to 5. And now we can’t change it by default without breaking existing apps.

Forwards compatibility is painful.
You wind up with a superior product in this case as well. A physical artifact that can be displayed or loaned, and a DRM-free digital copy that can be read conveniently on any platform.
You've been bitten by the contrarian dynamic, which I just wrote about elsewhere—see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21475106 and https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

Your comment is a classic phase-2 voter-upper, which was sitting at the top of the thread until I marked it off topic. Apologies for quoting myself, but: After that first wave of comments, we frequently see a second wave of comments objecting in a reflexive way to the first wave. Although they take the opposing position—defending the article and criticizing the comments—it's the same contrarian dynamic, the same mechanism, driving them. Usually the second wave gets upvoted the most, leading to the paradox of the top comment in a thread expressing how bad the thread is, or the most popular comment expressing how wrong the populace is.

Once this subthread was marked off topic, which lowers it on the page, one sees that the top subthreads are all pretty thoughtful. In other words, once you account for the contrarian dynamic (first wave of dismissive objections, second angry wave dismissing the dismissals and getting voted to the top), HN is doing reasonably well in this case. The contrarian dynamic happens in general; it has nothing to do specifically with climate, any more than with race (which was the context in the thread I just linked to).

Well, you could say the same about Postgres...

They are both databases, and the lack of scalability or (not) being able to run as a service does not change that simple (and useful) fact.
Its a 1 Mbit / sec write speed if I calculate it correctly.
It may well be the stupidest argument, but it is not the argument that the person you are responding to actually made. If you're going to admonish someone to stop advancing stupid arguments the least you can do is speak to what they actually said rather than raising a straw man.
It’s not PR. It’s being accurate that this has nothing to do with Kubernetes.
Yeah this, but it's also pretty clear that gitlab has a lot of internal mess to clean up too. Looking at these comment threads it's amazing that people from all over the company just drop in to spout off, lines of delegation are very important in running a business, otherwise people don't stay in their lane. Then there's just generic poor manners / immaturity along with apparently retaliatory behavior. So yeah opening it up makes them look awful for everyone to see, but they also shouldn't just shut down public access because they've got a bunch of remedial "how to run a real business" lessons to learn too.
> shut down by copyrights on license plate designs

Afaik anything made by the government is expressly public domain in the US, but dunno about state govs. Unless, anyway, the state buys a design from a private company, at which point my law knowledge ends.
Can you elaborate? You may as well say “software engineering should not exist at all”.
I own Introduction to Nuclear Engineering, 2nd Edition by John Lamarsh. All the "new" "real soon now" nuclear approaches that people get excited over today are already in this textbook from 1983.

It has:

- Gas cooled high temperature reactors

- Gas cooled breeder reactors

- Liquid metal fast breeder reactors

- Molten salt thorium breeder reactors

In the intervening 36 years, none of these have reached commercial/industrial operation in North America, France, Japan, India, South Korea, or China. Russia has one industrial scale liquid metal FBR [1], and it has indefinitely suspended plans to build successors [2].

Any new approach to nuclear power that promises to be "cheaper, faster, safer" than boring old light water reactors should be evaluated with extreme care. These aren't new ideas. Why didn't anyone build them up in the past 40 years? If your answer is "blame the Nuclear Regulatory Commission," keep in mind that most of the world is not under the thumb of the American NRC. But e.g. India didn't build out MSRs either, even though they have fully domestic nuclear technology and thorium resources plus a vast need for more electricity.

The chances of a revolutionary new reactor design actually powering a grid near you appear, empirically, to be about as poor as those of the Battery Breakthrough of the Week ending up in your next mobile phone.

There are nuclear reactors closing in the US not because of regulation, but because they cannot compete with much cheaper wind and fracked gas sources. There is little difference in operational cost between running a nuclear plant at 50% and running it at 100%. So when they start losing key customers to cheaper power, pretty soon they're operating the plant in the red.

The real interesting part of this is that modern power is so much cheaper that it's less expensive to eat the capital losses and shut down nuclear plants early than it is to continue to operate them.
I am surprised you feel that way in a time where much of our government is controlled by Republicans, including the presidency. I think I understand why you feel that way given how localized politics can be, but I would counter that it does seem unlikely the 50+ million registered Republican voters will be made homeless and jobless by the government they presently control.
A little bit offtopic, but are people really going ballistic over Netflix speed up feature? Has no one ever noticed Youtube has supported this since forever? Or that most video players have this feature? I also seem to remember plain DVD players having the ability to alter speed.
It's almost like something really divisive happened within the last 4 years or so. I can't imagine what.
In some cases consumer demand is the biggest lever we have, it's true. But in this case of a few bad actor landfills, we can fix 95% of the problem in a matter of a few months or years with established solutions.
System Element software is for bringing up IBM mainframes. I rescued a Multiprise 3000 from a scrap dealer. It works, but I don't have any of the software to bring it up. Some folks are helping me piece together enough bits and pieces to, hopefully, act as a system element so I can stop trying to figure out how to get it up and running and start wondering what to do with a working 20 year old mainframe.
Don't you see the obvious logical failure of that rebuttal?
love MtG, started at the end of general availability (locally anyhow) of the beta release around 6th grade. still have cards, still play with my spouse once or twice a year.

i even still buy the occasional booster pack.
I'm not sure there is a weight regulation beyond the general guidelines provided by the manufacture which probably don't cover major alterations like this. Its probably more like what they could get the local A&P to sign off on. Part 43 (https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/14/part-43) is mostly about how the alterations are to be made than dealing with the specifics of the alternation.

Beyond that, its likely is a permanent mark against the air-frame which makes it basically impossible to resell. Including the fact it might have added an additional inspection interval at the strut attachment points. Might even have ended up as an experimental cert due to not conforming to the type any longer.

Also, i'm not so sure there is a lot of formal engineering going into a mod like this on a GA plane. More likely someone has a rough set of parameters for air-frame shear/etc stress and a quick calculation said that the additional stress at 120MPH and landing shock was a small percentage of the total.
This has happened to me with Firefox. Thankfully there is Waterfox.

Recently this came up in discussion with a software developer who was overly concerned with openssl certificate minutiae. I advised the only durable solution for his concerns is a method to change the entire implementation, not only the certs.
You'll need a data structure to store the results to return to the caller. This data structure by definition cannot be the call stack. So using a call stack is technically redundant.

> On balance, reports from Federal Reserve Districts suggested that the economy expanded at a modest pace through the end of August. Although concerns regarding tariffs and trade policy uncertainty continued, the majority of businesses remained optimistic about the near-term outlook. Reports on consumer spending were mixed, although auto sales for most Districts grew at a modest pace. Tourism activity since the previous report remained solid in most reporting Districts. On balance, transportation activity softened, which some reporting Districts attributed to slowing global demand and heightened trade tensions. Home sales remained constrained in the majority of Districts due primarily to low inventory levels, and new home construction activity remained flat. Commercial real estate construction and sales activity were steady, while the pace of leasing increased slightly over the prior period. Overall manufacturing activity was down slightly from the previous report. Among reporting Districts, agricultural conditions remained weak as a result of unfavorable weather conditions, low commodity prices, and trade-related uncertainties. Lending volumes grew modestly across several Districts. Reports on activity in the nonfinancial services sector were positive, with reporting Districts noting similar or improved activity from the last report.

"Trade" is mentioned three times in this one paragraph. I wonder to what extend this factor is being over-blamed for macro slowness.

Interesting to compare this report with the one from June 2007, at the cusp of the implosion:

> Reports from the twelve Federal Reserve Banks indicated that economic activity continued to expand from mid-April through May. Seven banks described growth in their Districts as modest or moderate: Cleveland, Atlanta, Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, New York, and San Francisco. Dallas reported growth as moderately strong, and Minneapolis said the District's economy edged up. Philadelphia reported that growth was somewhat faster than in recent months, and Richmond said growth picked up a bit. Boston characterized reports from its contacts as generally positive.

This is something I've always wondered (being someone who is heavily into compost), since the byproduct of aerobic decomposition is CO2, which is actually worse? Aerobic, or Anaerobic? Both produce GHGs, Methane is the worse one, but obviously if it was produced in smaller quantities then it would be more beneficial. Also what lasts longer in the atmosphere? CO2 or Methane?
Sunnyvale does this! The "Sunnyvale Materials Recovery and Transfer Station" (SMaRT Station) is out by the bay, and there is a waste water treatment plant right next door. Methane is captured from "capped" landfills and is used to power the treatment plant. I believe the plant is nearly 100% powered by these captured gases.

Doesn't smell great over there, but it sure is interesting and pretty smart!
This is a great tool! Ironically, I might use it someday to illustrate why word clouds are an absurd format. But it'll be great for joking around too :)

The tone is your own projection, as is the assertion that I presented an opinion as fact. I don't see evidence for those two things. Now, you're presenting your own opinion as fact.

As for the following disingenuity: "the complete lack of any information existing within the current comprehensive knowledge of mankind itself," I pointed you to shroomery.org where you can find people's attitudes towards meditation and psychedelics and a cross section thereof that would corroborate my initial statements. It would be your own shortsightedness to not include these first hand reports within the "current comprehensive knowledge of mankind."

And as someone who acknowledged that they derive signal from upvotes and downvotes, surely you would appreciate the notion that perhaps my premise is the top comment in this thread because people agree with it out of their own experience and rationality.

Can someone share their experience with scaling pg's NOTIFY and LISTEN?

The use case I have in mind has a lot of logically separate queues. Is it better for each queue to have its own channel (so subscribers can listen to only the queue they need) or have all queues notify a global channel (and have subscribers filter for messages relevant to them). I am mainly confused about whether I need a dedicated db connection per LISTEN query and also how many channels is too much.
