Hi everyone! Just wanted to mention the use case for this:

1) You want to have UUIDs in URLs that are not predictable (vs auto-increment integers).

2) So they should be random, but roughly-ordered over time so that your MySQL/Postgres indices stay fast and efficient as the dataset grows.

3) And simple to use across multiple machines (no coordination or centralized system required to generate).

4) It would be nice if they were compatible with standard 128-bit UUID representations (many libraries in Python handle uuid.UUID, but no third-party types).

Checkout the "Why?" section in the readme for a comparison to some of the alternatives.

Also if you don't want to have to use this library:

import os
import uuid
import time

timestamp = int(time.time() * 1000)
randomness = int.from_bytes(os.urandom(10), byteorder='big', signed=False)
value = ((timestamp << 80) | randomness).to_bytes(16, byteorder='big')

uuid.UUID(bytes=value)
>>> UUID('016fd379-198f-3327-2bf0-d2a0f5d863d7')

Feel free to ask me anything.
Like Elpha but better?
Exactly how (typically venture backed) cyber vendors for the financial vertical evolved over the last 10 years.
In my opinion, even better than multiple parties is no or weak parties. The US used to have parties that were weaker than those in British parliamentary systems. Most votes in a parliamentary system are "whipped"; members are forced to vote along party lines. The US doesn't have whipped votes, but party line votes have increased dramatically.

Sounds like the implication is HackerNews shouldn't be a website, it should just be a subreddit.
> Education hasn't gone well publicly so far in America

It has in most the rest of the developed world; maybe (as with healthcare) the problem is that the system has been deliberately compromised to benefit private providers for financial and (more for education than healthcare, though it's a factor in both) sectarian reasons by the same people that use the poor results to rail against the public system and for (usually, publicly subsidized) privatization to further benefit the same private financial and sectarian interests. And not a fundamental problem with the service being publicly provided, which plenty of countries manage to do quite well.

> Agree on health, law / police though

To be fair, public provision of both of those are pretty bad in America, too, though the private provision of the former is worse.
Looks good, but it's free. Care to offer any insight on how you plan to monetize your app and make it sustainable?
I agree completely. I found what helps even more is to use fq_codel + google's BBR congestion control on the server and increase the netdev budget about 4x the default values and the latency remains very low with more people connected.
At one place I worked with a lot of customers' data, I floated the idea of adding a clause in the standard customer contract that an acquirer would only be able to use customers' data to continue to offer the service. I didn't push hard enough for it to be rejected, but this wasn't usually a dealbreaker for customers.
Yeah I'm aware of how this goes down: in addition to what you say, government management types get their beds feathered by working for the for-profit companies they contract the work to after they "retire" (aka everyone involved in F35 procurement ends up working at Lockheed; total coincidence I am sure). Yet, somehow the NSA manages to run their own data centers[1]. It even looks kind of cost effective!

Ah, Shapeways. Back when I was implementing computational geometry algorithms, I stumbled upon and ordered Schönhardt polyhedron in bronze from them (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schönhardt_polyhedron). Made the model myself (extremely simple).

Got an email from them about they couldn't being able to polish it nicely due to sharp angles and asked if I would accept their "best effort"; photos were attached. Fully aware of how "mischievous" I've been, I accepted the model as is. Still have it as a memory on my shelf :D

Many sites actually do follow it properly, i.e. they have the popup tell you that tracking ads are all OFF and if you want you can ENABLE them to get more relevant ads, but you are free to just dismiss it.

Once one of the big players that don't do this and instead have it e.g. opt-out are actually fined, I suspect more sites will begin to behave correctly.
> Maybe not great, but better than an unregulated market.

The US health system is very highly regulated. For what an unregulated market looks like, see the software business. Consumer costs for software have been largely driven to zero.
As a Russian hacker I think this is a REALLY great idea because of the security implications surrounding it.
A bit underhanded, given the text from the bulletin.

- Phone

- Beacon info (ID, manufacturer, model)

- General use (commercial/private/govt/military)

- Additional data (include home port for your boat or aircraft and areas you frequent for recreational use.)

- Emergency contact

I think the cost was ~300$ for the PLB.

You can lock down YOUR infrastructure, but then are 100% dependent on the cloud environment to maintain and patch theirs. Since you have no insight to what the underlying infrastructure consists of you really have no way of knowing if they are secure. Do their storage arrays have open CVE's? are they employing people who are mentally sane? You just need to trust them.

So in the cloud just migrates the a lot of the security to another team. I do not know for a fact, but I am pretty sure the DoD cannot just show up at the AWS or Azure facilities and start auditing them (maybe they can and it is in a contract, someone else might know).
I have the exact same thing, but I always thought of it as a brilliant feature, not as a problem.

As soon as I sit around and get bored, my brain will make up absurd daydreams and stories. Usually they are pretty funny, so afterwards I feel relaxed and happy. Isn't that the whole point of taking a break?

The problem with that is that it's extremely political, it can't be done by a private company.

For example when I was living in Switzerland I used public transport because I was lazy to use a car, as it's so much more hassle.

I went to Mountain View, California to a business trip, and wanted to do the same thing (as I was used to public transport), and I couldn't even find a way to go to a supermarket, as the closest one to my corp apartment was 40 minutes walk away :(

I decided to rent a car because the closest car rental was closer than a place to eat at...as a European it sounds crazy, but it's true.
It is strange to me that there are even rules about this. Imagine if we decided to halt the Manhattan Project for a few months so the courts could work out whether contracts were properly awarded.
Calendars and to-do lists matter, but the unpleasant aspect of these things is that I become a human scheduler, similar to an operating system scheduler. The scheduling function consumes so much time on its own, and it's psychologically uncomfortable.

Dare I say it: I don't like context switches and would prefer first come first serve, until completion. The real world, however, is unforgiving on which scheduler I can choose.
If you use your work Office 365 licenses on your personal machine (as is heavily encouraged in Education since you get 5 BYOD devices), this will automatically install when your machine is updated to 2002, and IT can't do anything about it since they don't manage your personal laptop.
I think a lot of this speculation requires inside knowledge of what the DoD's use cases actually are.

Are they doing a lot of compute, a lot of ingestion, a lot of output, and a ton of networking? Are they primarily just doing one of these things?

Who knows?

There's a lot of cases where having multiple clouds could be fine -- maybe even a big benefit. There's also a lot of cases where it could be a major headache.
Option 3 is better than option 2 because it is more likely that a country with WMD will use them against a country without them (for fear of retaliation). Option 3 is an equal standoff.

Yes. I've noticed it. You can't just live like this 100%. Best of life is still all about unexpected and surprising things as well. But this is useful to get you to focus. One must make a balance with these things. Fixed timings, alarms etc are just to get you used to it. The idea is that your mind get conditioned to better manage your time. The final goal is building effective life habits; It is vital that not only you manage your current life but seek to open your life to new horizons by doing different activities and exploring new things. I recently moved away to a new City, and that makes a huge difference. Opens several windows of opportunity, which by the way is another very interesting topic;
That's stinky but doesn't really hurt. Once I was given a new Windows 10 PC at the office, I've tried Edge (the classic, non-Blink version) and sicked to it because it's A LOT faster than Firefox. I haven't bothered to change the default search engine and the results Bing gives are Ok.

>large urbanized areas where firearm ownership is prohibited

Which is why we need national action. Criminals in Chicago buy firearms in neighboring Indiana, criminals in New York City buy firearms in neighboring Connecticut.

The parallel to atomic weapons is similar. If many nations own atomic weapons, it's easier for an unstable/untrustworthy state to acquire them.
Bicycling isn't as low-carbon as you expect. 10 bikes ~= 1 car as far as CO2 per km is concerned. Running on foot is about the same CO2 per mile as a car with one passenger, and obviously a car with more than 1 passenger works out much better than running.

It's all down to the fact that if you exert yourself, you'll need to eat more food, and food production is very CO2 heavy.

No, but it is one of many problems.

I've never looked at the Google Maps image of the Arc de Triumph before so a question immediately comes to mind upon looking at it. How the hell did all of those tourists/pedestrians get there? There doesn't appear to be parking on the inside of the circle, nor any apparent crosswalks at that 12 lane circular nightmare. Is there a tunnel hidden underneath you can go through? There's no apparent exit unless it is inside of the monument. Is there a shuttlebus that just straight up blocks the inner lane when it shows up?
YMMV, bing search results do not work at all for me.

Some Search and Rescue organizations now bill you if they determine you had to be rescued because of gross negligence (if you were prepared and simply unlucky, it's still free). This can be tens of thousands of dollars if they had to use helicopters and the like.
(Sorry for the late response. Currently on vacation without a laptop.)

I wasn’t on the team when that change was made but I think it was discussed in [0].

I’m not certain, but I suspect the reasoning went that a new name was needed to not clash with `powershell.exe` but it wasn’t certain to be `posh`. So unlike `node`, which had a clashing name from the outset, PowerShell never used or owned `posh`, making the choice of `pwsh` a simpler way to avoid clobbering another tool (and the subsequent complexity of the processes you mentioned).

Their subscription-based model that says "no hidden fees, gated features, or ads" seems like the right model for an app like this. Will check it out.

> So, several tech giants including Apple, Nokia and Samsung signed a voluntary pledge to provide chargers compatible with the micro-USB standard.

So far so good.

> However, Apple introduced its Lightning port in 2012, taking advantage of a loophole that let it design its own port, as long as it offered a micro-USB adaptor for sale.

See, I previously mentioned something similar to this about companies bending legal loop holes for their own interests and I was met with a fury of downvoters unable to construct their arguments about this.

The fact is, Apple has done this as a lock-in tactic for their interests only and there is no surprise here that they won't comply on this case even with their reason of 'creating waste' is contradictory and a frivolous excuse.

I find the difference between Reddit and HN is the quality of moderation. HN is fantastic at removing the low-value stuff like memes, "me too", snarky comments, etc. As a result, the signal-to-noise ratio is much higher, and it doesn't need loads of subreddits.
My 5th grade teacher had a TRS-80 in class and we would occasionally learn a bit of programming or (I think) take quizzes on it. This was approximately 1981, talk about ahead of his time!

Around that time I got a VIC-20 for Christmas with cassette drive, a great time to be alive.

Funny, almost a decade later in high school, I took a programming class and they were still using the same computer, a TRS-80 all-in-one. Talk about behind the times, haha.

(Recently I've found out that writing assembly on both computers was a thing, a shame no one ever told me at the time.)
'wildly more efficient' is probably an overestimate. The worst coal plants have about the same efficiency as a car engine, and the best natural gas plants have ~double the efficiency.
If I had to guess, you're not being down voted for intellectual curiosity, but rather how you frame the question.

There are many ways you could have framed the question, but the way you did sounds like you're challenging the premise of what OP is trying to do.

Someone built something. If your first response is "Why did you build this thing?" or in your case "Please elaborate why you think building this thing helps?" it comes across as being intentionally and unnecessarily negative, even if perhaps your intent is not to do so.

If you are actually curious, a few similar ways to frame the question:

- How have you seen your work impact women?

- What are the most meaningful ways this community has helped your users?

All positive ways of framing the similar "I'm curious how or why this works" question.
Honestly, many of the obstacles seem to be social and procedural ones. We already have the technology to easily facilitate better communication between e.g. PCPs and specialists to better diagnose rare diseases, but it's not used well. Medical centers are still faxing everything around, doing manual data migrations, and have little in the way of technological standards. There are flatly stupid traditions such as doctors working 24+ hours at a stretch when we force truckers and airline pilots to limit their hours far below that for less mentally demanding jobs. The social structure of medicine is an ossified, dysfunctional mess and all the diagnostic aids in the world aren't going to fix that. That's why I feel that people want to replace it all, regardless of how feasible it might be right now. Fixing the logistical, economic, and procedural problems that prevent people who need to be in a scanner from getting there quickly enough will do substantially more than getting a few percentage points of extra sensitivity or specificity by letting an AI read the scans. We don't need some far future technology, we need medicine to use existing technology intelligently.
I would argue the inverse. I set my preference in Chrome. Why is Windows forcing me to use Bing if I use the search box in Windows 10?
Chemical weapons are already mostly useful against civilians, because soldiers carry gas masks and antidotes, which mitigate the effectiveness and makes it harder to kill them.

It's not that chemical weapons have no military use at all, but if you make soldiers immune then the only people killed in gas attacks will be civilians, and that's not so far off from the world as it is.
It's easy for me to imagine the desire for a community where moderation is attuned to the common types of harassment that women face in online tech communities.

I have a theory that different things work for different people and not all things work for all people. Any particular book or blog post should not be taken as a gospel but rather a set of tools from which you can try and pick up what works for you.

What worked for me: (1) getting more sleep - counterintuitive, as one gets less time to be productive, but I find that sleep deprivation affects my mood, attention, and executive function big time (2) writing it down and drawing up my day hour by hour. Even if I do not follow the plan to the tee - it helps me visualize the day and find large chunk of times that are best for getting into the zone (3) batching up small but mundane tasks and sticking them into the short available chunks of time that would not be good for deep work, then focus on this list of tasks and racing to compete as many of them as possible, using the short rush of pleasure of completing one task as a burst of energy for the next one and create momentum.
I'm not sure it's really specific to the sex or gender. My personal opinion is that society and education have a huge effect on how we behave and are perceived, depending on your sex. So yes, in a way it makes you closer to people from the same sex because you have something in common, but it's more than just your sex, and there are so many different criteria.

Basically, the idea is that you often identify better to someone who has common points with you, including sex.

I have quite a raspberrys around now but they seem kind of flimsy and unreliable. When you really need your "server" to just work for 5 or 10 years in a closet without worrying about it, you'd want something that isn't fed by a 5V transformer that is prone to dying once a year.

I'd happily pay $100 or even $200 for an "industrial" raspberry(-compatible) device. Something in a sturdy case with a reliable power supply.

I’m a bit reluctant to add another one to my closet as a 24/7 server until I find a solution to the reliability issue. I don’t want to run a proper big server because of the electricity cost either. I want something under 15W, preferably passive, with high reliability.
