This is how we implemented it at an ISP I worked at before. All our peering routers sampled traffic using IPFIX and sent it to an Arbor collector for fingerprinting and analysis. If the collector detected malicious flows it would automatically send a BGP Flowspec message with the list of malicious flows to our peering routers. The BGP Flowspec message would cause our peering routers to redirect the matched traffic to a Arbor TMS server which would scrub the DDoS traffic from the dirty traffic and send the cleaned traffic back to our routers to be routed normally to the end-user. There are other ways to mitigate DDoS but this is what ended working best for us.

That would lead to a ton of comments saying why they had flagged or downvoted things. Such comments tend to be of low quality and (if people could reply) would lead to endless bickering. IMO it's much better for signal/noise ratio not to go there.

tbf it's debatable if there 's a lot to learn from C.elegans. Simple animals have been studied for decades from aplysia to the mouse. But those are not behaviours that are interesting when attempting to learn more about the human brain. The Allen institute's connectome project is more relevant to mammals, even if it's only a tiny volume of the mouse cortex, in order to mildly constrain models of brain function. Even if we had the whole brain, it s too large to be simulatable. These data help our understanding, and we 're lucky we have amazing tools to probe brains at this moment. But we need more and better theories to put them to good use
In fairness, it's your isp that you pay for that is doing this. Asking every website to change to prevent this instead of talking to your isp and changing providers if necessary doesn't sounds like the right people are taking responsibilities.

Whenever I see a blog post on Python concurrency that recommends something other than concurrent.futures ThreadPoolExecutor or ProcessPoolExecutor, I shake my head in disappointment at how far we've strayed from "one obviously right way". Why in 2020 am I seeing someone manually close and join a worker pool (blocking!) to return all results all at once because they rewrote executor.map using multiprocessing? Why do they del pool immediately before returning instead of just letting it run out of scope? Why are they using map, which orders the result, if they just want to call all? If performance matters, you want to read the results in the order of completion not the order of submission, and you don't want to wait for all of them to complete if any of them fail. Where did Python's "right way" go sideways?
Hi there, it's my pleasure! Happy to help.

It is surprising, because I was under impression that Java has so many optimizations for x86 and ARM was so new that it's almost impossible to beat x86 without very significant investments. It's nice to hear that I was wrong.
I once had to send a bug report to a big bank, like Bank of America, because their JavaScript front end wasn’t rounding and got the typical 0.1+0.2>0.3 error (or whatever). This meant that I couldn’t submit a dispute online and had to do it on the phone. Like most companies, they don’t bother thanking you, or letting you know if it’s fixed.

It’s great how coding style books rarely address these important things and focus only on bookshedding. Anyone know of a good presubmit checklist for semantic issues?
Besides this, coax is 'half duplex' until you apply Frequency division. Hence every bit of upload costs you bandwidth on the download side.

At the same time, fiber is full duplex so this is much less of an issue.

The difference is that applying a voltage at the transmission side in coax will be noticed by the receiver, (cause electricity goes both ways) whereas shining a light into fiber doesn't get to the detector (because light only goes one way). At least, this is my limited understanding. Would love if anyone more knowledgeable could correct me.

Just looking through the examples on the visjs page, it can do the style of nodes and it can do hierarchical tree layout, which seems to be the display you want. But it renders to canvas, is that what you don't like?

Graphviz tools also can output SVG with nested HTML if you prefer that to canvas rendering. HTML/CSS alone aren't great to do this kind of thing.
My primary computing device at home, for leisure, side project coding and sometimes work, has been a surface pro 6 (13” i5) for almost a year. It replaced my MBP 2018 edition that I resold for almost its purchase value around this time last year.

It was my first move to Windows after a decade of Mac at home, though we use Windows at my place of work so it’s not unfamiliar territory to me, and I have to say that I really enjoy the machine. The combination of VSC and WSL is just so great a way to box away your development parts, without contaminating the OS you use to watch movies. I know some of you are probably good at running setups that never bricks, but I’m not, and having it in a container you can easily replace with a new Linux image has been so nice.

I use the tablet part quite a bit. The keyboard is nice, and I don’t really mind that it’s slow. The only real downside about from the privacy issues with Windows, is that it’s not as good as a laptop when you’re lying down with it on your stomach.
As a farm boy from Wisconsin I'm obviously going to look at it a bit different than the majority of the HN crowd, but I'd say the victims were the farmers who were his competitors.

I don't think the average American has any real sense of how much better off they are than even people in most of the Western World. People point to places in Europe with high tax rates as these absolute havens, when in reality you're probably not making much money (and that's assuming you're even employed!)

The birth rates in Europe are dire.

I'm from New Zealand, but live in America now. Average incomes are so much higher in America it's not even funny. The average American house is so cheap and you can fix a mortgage for 30 years.

> You or your family get sick

Most Americans get health insurance through their employers

> Car accident

Insurance is not that expensive

> Want to have a child

Also, not that expensive

> Need to buy something expensive for your occupation

Likely that your employer will cover this, or you're making enough for this to be worth your while.

In most of the world, people don't roll around with $500+/ month in car payments, as a birthright.

America is a terrible place to be on the bones of your ass poor. That's not true for someone making anything closer to the median income.
I've had a Surface Go since August 2018. Aside from the small size, I hate it. I can't think of a time when I bought a new computer (including phones and tablets) and was immediately underwhelmed by its performance. It is so slow.

The other issue is the keyboard. Unless you have it on a solid surface, you have to be very careful about putting any weight on it. The keyboard will flex, which causes it to think the trackpad has been pressed. You can imagine the issues that come from that.

A Microsoft Store exchanged my keyboard for a new one, thinking it must have been a defect. After using it for a while and having the same experience, Microsoft support told me that's how the keyboard is designed and I need to be more careful when using it. OK...
HN has hosted countless threads about gender issues and articles by, about, and for women. Here is one from two days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22128385.

> Be using a service which accepts crypto.

This one is really the only valid reason, otherwise you're not comparing apples-to-apples.

You (most probably) did have to go (physically) to a bank and prove your identity and your credit record in order to maintain any credit card. And it takes days to wire money to your bank account. If anything crypto exchanges are trivially easy to use in comparison and you can convert one (usable) cryptocoin to another much faster and easier than any bank will allow you.

Price fluctuations are a problem, but not if you keep your main balance in a stablecoin and only convert at the time of purchase. And a crypto wallet doesnt grow in physical no matter how many different coins you store in it.

In reality, if cryptocurrencies weren't actively being fought by governments and banks, they would have conquered the world in no time because they are so damn easier to use and secure.

It easily develops into subcategory of "wrongful planning". I.e. planning things the people doing the planning do not have the expertise to make decisions about, but they felt like they needed to plan it. And now you're stuck with it, because otherwise someone would have to admit they didn't know what they were doing while justifying a change from the announced plan to the customer.

These days, I pay a pittance for streaming (lazy), but buy albums directly from artists. (As in I hand over cash at concert venues)

Perhaps it should be illegal for artists to sign away their own copyright/distribution rights. Exclusive licensing would still be fine.

Then, artists could sell albums direct to the public. The distributors would have to keep their cut low enough to account for competition from artists undercutting them via direct sales.

> ... visjs ... can do the style of nodes and it can do hierarchical tree layout, ...

Thanks for the reply ...

I can't see anywhere on that site examples of nodes with text and hierarchical tree layout, so I guess I'm just not understanding the information that's there.

I've got this:

https://visjs.github.io/vis-network/examples/network/basicUs...

But that's not hierarchical.

What am I missing?

For reference, I'm new to all this. I'm a big-iron back-end algorithms person, and I find the documentation ... bewildering. I've tried reading it line by line and constructing examples as I go, but it always uses terms and phrases that don't seem to be defined anywhere. Colour me frustrated.

reach a solution faster,

cost substantially less,

Both cable and FTTH(single-strand fiber to the home, such as Fios) are full-duplex via frequency division.

Cable operates in RF bands, and frequencies are denoted in MHZ and sometimes GHZ(included in the linked answer)

Fiber operates in optical bands and frequencies are denoted in nanometers(wavelength) -- downstream data, downstream video, and upstream data are all operated on different wavelengths on the same piece of glass, and they are received at both the transmitting end and the receiving end.

They are typically separated and filtered by optical prisms to ensure the correct wavelength hits the correct receiver(most receivers are wide-band and will receive a wide range of optical wavelengths)

The medium is typically shared at a neighborhood level, in that a single optical strand may be split 16 or more times to serve multiple houses. Bandwidth is shared on that strand by the houses served by it, typically via TDM(time division multiplexing)

End users don't typically notice this because the line rates are higher than the maximum bandwidth package sold. IE downstream rate 2.5Gb/s, upstream 1.5Gb/s, max package available is 1Gb/s.

I adore the Surface Go form factor, but I'm baffled by its hardware choices, especially the CPU. To be frank, the 4415Y is godawful. Microsoft's last small tablet the Surface 3 used the Z8700. Let's compare them for illustrative purposes. The 4415Y is two years newer than the Z8700, but has twice as high an SDP, and has a Recommended Customer Price 4.35 times as high. The 4415Y Geekbenches at 2,000 and 4,000 for single and multi-threaded performance. The Z8700 comes in at 1,100 and 2,800. A two year newer CPU that costs over four times as much is just barely matching the Z8700 on per-watt performance.

I don't know what kind of fuckery has been going on at Intel with regards to their low-power chips but it isn't good.
