I dealt with this problem at a previous job where we had a build pipeline and apps that were very dependent on NPM. To fix it, I used nginx to build a set of two-tiered caching servers within our CI Kubernetes cluster. One used a ramdisk to provide a low latency cache for the NPM client fetches. The second was a disk-backed cache to provide persistence to the ramdisk-backed cache. I had a script that would alter the package deps so that they were pulled from the ramdisk-backed service, which used the disk-backed service as it's backend. The disk-backed service uses actual NPM URLs for its backend.

The result was lightning-fast fetches and no rate limiting.

We needed the two-tiered system because this was Kube and occasionally we would have to rebuild/restart nodes and we didn't want to completely lose the cache when that happened.

You can easily extend this system to handle any package artifacts used in your build process: .deb's, .rpm's, etc.

Your SAP remarks are funny and somehow true (maybe), but I'm maybe one of the lucky guys. I work for an interesting Labs section inside SAP (https://cxlabs.sap.com/) and we are lucky enough to do research on some interesting topics.

I don't fully agree with you on the purpose of art. Art can create different meanings for every watcher and they could be quite far away from what was the intended purpose ( the message ) of the artist.
I would say that main function of art is to ask questions, and also to give you a way to experience life in a way you would otherwise not be able to. In this context I think AI generated art can bring something new, a new layer of reality, a new set of questions, that might not been surfaced because we use brains to create art and brains to interpret it. It could be a new type of input that would push humanity further.

In my observation, this demographic is most densely concentrated in the JavaScript community. Not sure what that says about the language itself, but there’s definitely a glut of unprofessional JS devs out there.

Dissent Is Inevitable. How Can We Make It Constructive?
Beacause all the light coming from this star is so far away, the events we are now witnessing occurred millions, if not billions of years ago - although high levels of radiation can still reach us from a supernova for example, muons in particular. Seems the earth could use a massive shield, is it possible for the moon were to be "manipulated" in it's orbit such that it could be "steered" to a stationary point to block a stream of radiation from such an event ?

Grasping the Interface Language with UX Writing
I’ve been considering checking node_modules into source control for some time now, has anyone else done that successfully? There would be a variety of benefits:

1. Eliminate redownload of packages on every CI build
2. Reduce the amount of gigantic IO operations from unpacking the tens-of-thousands of files sitting in node_modules.
3. Better security: code checked in can be audited better if not downloaded every single CI build.

yarn’s PnP system is promising for the zero-install paradigm, but it doesn’t seem quite ready yet (so many packages don’t seem to get their dependencies right).
I mean there is a difference between having fun and conducting yourself in a professional manner where appropriate.

With the increase in adoption of certain technologies (node etc) I have noticed a relationship with the people employed to work with them and their poor level of professionalism in the workplace with regard to their work and how they deal with other people (in the UK) and even how they dress. Similar age groups in other areas don't display these traits.

A number of these people work as contractors as well, so at least it was easy to get rid of them.

Ask HN: Learn (Linux) Embedded Development in 15 days
Hi folks, I'm a junior dev that's been unemployed for some 5 months now. I've got an interview for embedded dev position two weeks from now, hence my clickbaity title. Acknowledging it's a long shot, what is the best area to focus on, bang for buck?

I know some C, and I know they're big on networking stuff. There is some talk about Python and Qt. Do I focus on learning assembly, on OSDev or tinkering with a microcontroller (like in Rust's https://docs.rust-embedded.org/discovery/), more C?

Thanks to anyone that can pitch in. HN has been part of my code learning ride, mostly in the positive way :D.

You are quoting from Wikipedia and that quote is an oversimplification.

If you redefine the law like that, then sure, I agree that there are many uniform distributions too where the 1st digit is likely to be small. Here is another simple example: Consider the distribution of positive integers from 1 to 2. If we pick a number at random from {1, 2} then the 1st digit is likely to be small. This kind of analysis is boring.

But (fortunately!) that's not what Benford's law says. Benford's law provides a specific formula. Check https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benford%27s_law#Definition to see the specific formula that must hold good for a set of numbers to be said to obey Benford's law. That's what makes Benford's law so interesting whereas your example ranges are degenerative cases where nothing new, surprising, or interesting is going on.

I’m often surprised at the ticket prices on trains in Europe. As I’ve traveled around there, it’s not uncommon for me to see a route by train at approximately 100 EUR and the same route by air by for less than half that. Causing additional confusion is that when I take the train, there are often a significant number of empty seats.

It seems that the cost of an additional passenger on a train is almost zero, so why do trains not attempt to reduce per-ticket prices to increase capacity and become more competitive against low cost airlines?

In your example, the train from London to Paris in my experience has almost always been nearly triple the cost of a flight.
That depends on where you move. If you move to any big city odds are you can get by in English. If you move to a small remote village you have no choice.

Hey! Thanks for the feedback.

I'd need to sign the binary for mac for it to run without system security flag. Or indeed, brew; I'll think about it.

As for the other problems you mentionned, I agree; the software expects an empty directory, or one that contains "notebooks" already. I should maybe safeguard against it being run on arbitrary paths.
i would! for the succinctness of it.
Yup, artifactory helps a lot. The company where I work is using it and we run a lot of npm ci on a daily basis.

> not all of which really want to be talked to by random people writing one-off bits of software.

That's a bigger problem than it sounds.

There are two main reasons software doesn't want to talk to each other. One, preventing vandalism and general abuse. Two, rent seeking. The software is wrapped around something you need, and it'll only allow access on its own terms, and after an appropriate fee.

I dream of an Internet where this isn't the case. In particular, I dream of an Internet where I don't have to choose between either writing scrappers, or entering separate relationships with companies for every little bit of information I want to fetch via an API. Those relationships are a problem and a liability, even if they don't incur any actual monetary costs.

Beyond just being annoying noise that you have to keep track of, relationships make software non-shareable; they force you to centralize. If I make my "home-cooked" app that needs to know the weather, currency rates and be able to derive geographic coordinates from addresses, that's three separate APIs, three separate relationships. I'm not going to ask any of my users (whether five or five million) to get their own API keys, get their own relationships with the API providers. I'm forced to put a server in front of the app, introducing a single point of failure, shackling the app - and more importantly, I'm forced to force the users to enter a relationship with me. Their copy of the app is now dependent on my server not going down, and me managing my relationships with API providers.

Cooking recipes people share never force you to use a particular ingredients supplier. They don't even care where you get the ingredients - whether you grow them, buy them, or receive them as gifts. I wish software was more like this.
> I think the introduction of emoji reactions was a bad idea, it gamifies the issues system.

It depends on the community. I've seen many where the reactions are genuine and actually serves a purpose. From what I've seen, its almost always a popular js/node project that attracts this kind if behaviour like seen in this thread (based on my own observations).

I think the unwillingness of ICE companies to get involved in the production of batteries is the biggest problem.

Right now everyone is worrying that batteries will become a commodity market soon and all the investments in building a battery factory will become worthless. However, the reality is that existing car manufacturers get left behind without access to batteries. Tesla is building Gigafactories everywhere and doesn't suffer from this major problem.

Your app seems geared toward users who are not very technical. I think your pricing structure is too sophisticated. I would include everything in the free plan and the tiers would only be bandwidth usage and form submissions. No one is going to upgrade for robots.txt file support. Even the 30 deploys a month is a lot but it’s psychologically going to feel limiting and decrease signups. They’re gonna upgrade because they need to capture more forms not because of deploy count, that’s just going to upset people. That’s why Netlify has unlimited everything but if you want to capture forms or any other server side processing, you pay. That’s the biggest value add for these services imo.

There's a massive middle-class emigration going on in South Africa. Roughly sorted by volume descending:

* Australia - most common Visa is points-based. Aus is attractive because the climate and lifestyle are comparable

* New Zealand - Visa's are more accessible than Aus, some families move to NZ first as a route to Australia but as mentioned there are clusters of expats there too

* US - comparable climate depending on state

* Canada - points-based Visa's

* Panama - you can buy your way in on a ~$3000 visa

> You are not allowed to copy a recipe you found in a book.

I believe that to be incorrect. You are, in fact, allowed to copy the facts of a recipe. Copyright does not apply to recipes. The same goes for, for instance, clothing designs. (This is why expensive brands make designs with their logo plastered all over it; the logotype is covered by trademark law, even though copyright does not apply.)

Vendoring is checking in your dependencies with the source. You can def consider that a local cache. The next step up is to run your own proxy server (pretty much a package server / mirror). Next is to use a service like artifacory that does similar.

I don't see it any differently than companies with an office in India. While English is not a national language in RoK, Koreans are still taught English early. In my limited experience, being married to a Korean and having worked with Indians, Korean professionals speak English about as well as Indian professionals.

The timezone is similar: India is 10 hours forward from America/New_York, RoK is 12 hours forward. Flights to RoK (12-14 hours) are actually significantly shorter than flights to India (20 hours).

Indians are probably paid less than Koreans, but I don't know. And I cannot speak to the technical proficiencies of either.

I'd definitely like to open an office in RoK some time.

If anyone on here has done so or is interested, send me an email.
