> so there has to be some additional indirection on every pointer access

We already have this - almost all modern computers have something called virtual memory, that allows you to de-couple your memory addresses from where the memory actually is. This allows you to 'move' memory without changing the addresses that you use to refer to it. You can then defragment memory by mapping two sets of addresses to the same memory physical memory, as long as the holes in the two sets overlap.

In order words, if you have two pages, one with only the first half used, the other with only the second half used, you can copy the used part of the second page into the gap in the first page, and map the old addresses of the second page to the location of the first, now shared, page. You are using twice the address space (which costs just a few bytes in bookkeeping) but have defragmented so you're only using half the physical memory.

You can then completely return the second page, now un-used, to the kernel.
100 000 000$ a year with only 20 requests a second? That's some crazy revenue per request, 100 000 000 / (365 * 24 * 60 * 60) = 3.17$ per request!

Straight 70% alcohol without an emollient probably becomes pretty unpleasant rather quickly.
We've built civilization around the notion that escaping the natural order of things is desirable.

That's just rationing, the same thing as 'commodity is affordable'.

Or maybe you're expecting it to not be a real shortage?

> From my personal point of view, basic income SHOULD disincentivise work; it's a boost for society, health, well-being, children, etc.

Somebody has to do the work though, until robots do everything (and then declare war on us), you need somebody to take away the garbage, pick the fruits and unclog the toilets. Disincentivizing work doesn't make that go away, it just means you'll put that load on fewer shoulders.
I have read that normal soap (or any kinds of detergents) is more effective than hand sanitizer in killing corona virus. The reason is that corona virus is enveloped in a lipid coating and the soap 'pops' it like a ballon, destroying the virus. So just washing your hand is enough.
Don't forget private bankers trying to evade the tax authorities:

"According to one former UBS banker, managers gave the private-wealth team specially encrypted laptops that could be easily deleted in case U.S. authorities barged in. “They told us about the computers, ‘if ever you run into problems in the U.S. with the IRS, just push button X twice, and everything will be deleted,’ ” said the banker. “It was like James Bond.”"

Additionally it isn't well composed. I learned graphics design from a guy who actually learned it by using his hands to pit down the letters. He had us move one black square around on a white page for 3 hours and explain why we put it where we did. Then we were allowed two squares of arbitrary size, later colors etc.

If you are learning it from that basic level you cannot unsee badly unbalanced design. You cannot just remove a black background with a white one and keep everything unchanged (which is why dark themes sometimes suck as they don't get the extra love they need.

This thing looks like it has been made by the CEOs daugther in Powerpoint.
Up until recently the natural human condition also involved going through the grief of losing at least one of your kids.

The human condition evolves.

Having said that, while I am supportive of UBI, I share your concerns over its impact on society. We do not understand the all what the knock on effects of such a program are. How it would be used/misused and how it would reshape incentives. We definitely need to dip our toe in the water before considering jumping in.
It stays on your hands. If you want to use a lot, a bottle of isopropyl alcohol might be better.
By how much absolutely does rent go up vs how much the wage has risen? Are the people better off or not? Don't just say rising rents as a catch all. This is all the more case for UBI vs rising minimum wage because in UBI there aren't the unemployed falling through the cracks.
Hand sanitizer needs to be very strong, I recall seeing 70% alcohol, and it needs to be left "wet" for minutes rather than being applied in small enough amounts it dries right away. Alcohol can disrupt the virus's lipid membrane.

Soap is simpler and faster, if you can use it.
Setapp: Suite of Mac Tools
Most hand sanitizers are like 60-70% alcohol. That should kill viruses as well.
Way back in the day, this was ultimately why my high school friends and I went from frequenting Barnes & Noble to frequenting Borders. B&N had the overall nicer environment and a better book selection, but Borders had a halfway decent café. That made going there a better social event: We could grab a table and some coffees and sit around and chat. Anyone who wanted to spend a while browsing the books could do so without feeling hurried by the people who didn't, because they had somewhere reasonable to sit and hang out.

It's a bit like that with my favorite indie bookstore, too. It's a haul for me to get there, but still occasionally schlep myself over there when I have an afternoon to myself, because I enjoy the experience of buying a new book and then sitting down to start reading it over a glass of wine in their café.

B&N could be that now, but they would need to spruce up their café. As it is, it's like an airport coffee shop, only even more unpleasant.
Protip: cheap vodka works well.

Protip #2: it comes in minibar-sized bottles.

Provided you don't live in a strangely puritan nation (I won't point fingers), this basically has no downsides.
One thing I’d like to see architecturally change is the creation of hand washing stations at the entrances to large buildings. I’d love to simply wash my hands before and after entering Costco, but the bathrooms are out of the way and you need to wade through reverse cart traffic to get there when entering.

Places were groups of 100+ people are gathering should simply have a hand washing station near the entrance, outside the building. And we should all use them!
Looks like one of those in-house localizer patterns you put on your walls when creating a digital model of your place.
I know and know of many people who don't want to work or contribute to society. Sitting at home and not contributing to society is kind of a goal. Some groups are negative to those who try to work or contribute. I know families who have passed that on from parents to children.

This isn't everyone but it is a segment. I don't see much talk about this.

The folks in this segment aren't bound to be on HN.

I point this out just as a piece of information. There are opportunities in that. Maybe not to make a bunch of money but to understand people and maybe help some.
There is also rationing. Ever saw "Limit of X pieces per customer" signs or equivalent? With a price cap, that's essentially rationing.
I agree. It seems like the obvious solution would have been to just remove the light gradient—and maybe the bevels.

There are absolutely people who would contribute to society in other ways but there are also people who would not work, not contribute and, sit in their rooms all day not having the will to do anything but debate with strangers on internet forums(lol). In my opinion the problem with UBI is that it would take away the necessity for people to do something to survive and it would make a significant minority of the population miserable because they wouldn't have to do anything but consume.
Right, because people of colour love having overly bright lights blasting into their eyes.

Lights aren't set for photography of any skin tone, they're set at a level for comfort and to provide enough light for us to operate.
No person who was born rich has to learn skills to avoid destitution. And poverty isn't the natural condition for humans any more than it is for cats, or any other animal.

>If we as humans can't live on Earth responsibly, we frankly don't deserve to exist at all.

We did for a long time though, except for relatively recently. And Mars won't be able to live without Earth for a long time so it isn't really escapism as you paint it.

I don't think we deserve to disappear completely, but if we don't reverse climate change, we'll have a ton of loss of life but not likely total extinction except for some astronauts. That's probably "enough" as far as galactic justice goes. I'm always a little disappointed in this argument though because it's climate change that we should be judged by, rather than massive deaths from human made conflicts throughout history. Surely there's lots of previous events that qualify for "we don't deserve to exist at all".

Do we need another eccentric billionaire but for climate change though? Sure, bring it on.
Welcome, Release. A question: do you plan to support features of clouds like AWS Lambda?
Yes, but what kind of alcohol? Grain alcohol is impractical because of the expense, isopropyl alcohol is likely to sell out quickly as well.

The only other option available to the public that comes to mind is denatured alcohol and it's unclear whether there any risks related to skin absorption of the denaturing agents. Anybody know?
The thing is, if you are outside the norm, you are raising suspicion. Using this kinda setup will prevent you from flying under the radar, instead, you are painting a nice target on your back. This is gonna bite you in particular if you are already a person that your adversaries are keeping an eye on.
> Once you know Docker you will realize that all other ways of deploying applications are outmoded.

This is a strong and absolute statement to be making in a field as broad and diverse as software engineering. My experience from being on both sides of these statements it that they're often wrong, or at least short sighted.

In this case, while I get the packaging benefits of Docker, there are other ways to package applications that don't require as much extra software/virtualization/training. So the the question isn't as much about whether Docker/K8S/etc. provides useful benefits as whether or not those benefits are worth the associated costs. Nothing is free, after all, and particularly for small to moderate sized systems, the answer is often that the costs are too high. (And with hardware as good as it is these days, small-to-moderate is an awful lot of capacity.)

I've personally gotten a lot of value out of packaging things up into an uber jar, setting up a standard install process/script, and then using the usual unix tooling (and init.d) to manage and run the thing. I guess that sounds super old fashioned, but the approach has been around a long time, is widely understood, and known to work in many, many, many worthwhile circumstances.
... but it can be more intelligently allocated.

Sometimes an ideal market is the worst possible thing.
Yea, I only mentioned flutter because it is there and is growing, but if I wanted to ship a desktop app quickly to get moving, it'd be Qt for me. I personally love C/C++, but understand not everyone does, but for installed desktop apps, C/C++ still just makes the most sense to me.

I know Wireshark moved off Gtk to Qt for a variety of reasons, but some of their key points from what I remember was Gtk was falling further behind on issues, current trends and platform support whereas Qt has really kept up and keeps evolving with the market.

Good luck with whatever you choose.
Maybe it would be better if the people who needed it more and were willing to pay more got it, instead of one average guy who wants to panic buy the whole shelf. In terms of giving the right stuff to the right people, the ranking is probably "price cap and instant sell-out" < "price-based rationing" < "need-based rationing."
Vodka is 40% alcohol, which is not a high enough concentration to be effective.
As an exercise, try and advocate for getting rid of Medicare for Seniors in return for increasing the pension payout rate (to whatever reasonable number of you choose). How do you think that will go ... and that's just one program. If you think you can get rid of food stamps and 10,000 other programs, you're dreaming.
Thanks to Shipt grocery delivery, we generally only keep 2-3 days worth of food in the house for a family of 5. With the threat of this outbreak, it hit me that my household has bought into the global Just In Time inventory system that the big stores utilize. I suggested to my wife that we "stock up" and she tells everyone that I'm making us "hoard up food like a doomsdayer" when in reality its maybe 2 weeks of essentials.

The magnetic field is, by far, the easiest problem. There are many other unsolved problems, but that isn’t one of them.

Now I’m working if making a very large current loop on the ground would double up as a launch/landing system where the planet itself is the reaction mass…

(Probably not; the chances are the requirements for safety and reaction are orders of magnitude different from each other).

It's one of my favourite parts of London. Paid ridiculous amounts in rent years ago for a small flat just to live close and be able to enjoy it every day. It's not really a park, more like a forest inside the city, peppered with mansions on the edge, swimming ponds, and all sorts of secluded paths.
I'm glad they've kept it away from new development as it's one of the few places to truly escape the city without actually going away.
Thank you.

That's the part of automation that no one wants to discuss. What happens when we're like 90% automated and there simply isn't enough jobs for everyone.

Marianna's is probably way tougher than Mars to be honest.
That is because it was proposed with cuts to everything else. That leaves people to fall through the cracks in the meantime. If you transition to UBI without those issues, progressives like the idea.
How so? The compensation is increased because less people are working, so the cost of labour is fixed (which is neglible in any case in a post-scarcity society as envisioned in the future)
I find the assumption of many companies that they NEED stuff like K8S because they are going to be so "webscale", frankly, pretty arrogant. Most systems out there can run on a 2010 laptop, if done right.
This will probably get down-voted by the hacker news crowd. Information aggregation from diverse sources to construct a comprehensive knowledge graph in our heads and hence further and deepen our understanding of this world and the context in which things happen can be a goal. But at some point, the methods we use to accomplish them can take more importance than the actual goal. The method is not the goal.

This is similar to how there are many rituals in every religion that people might follow without understanding the underlying concepts. The rituals are not the religion but we still see people mindlessly doing things that their ancestors did.

I would much prefer that we build systems that automatically create that knowledge graph objectively (like the wikipedia) and layer an AI system on top that will create new connections, even with brute force, that our minds in a lifetime cannot. This will not stop us from having opinions. People will still come to different conclusions based on the same underlying data but atleast the data and the surrounding context will be available to all.
That's my preference. Markets are generally great, but in extreme conditions intervention is necessary. This happens in non-governmental markets, too. For example, I know stock exchanges and commodities markets have all sorts of mechanisms to prevent market failure.
I see this being repeated in a few places, but usually at least 70% alcohol is recommended to be effective.
I wonder if there's any similarity at all between the way they designed this logo and the way they design their cars?
I think you mean application protocols. There's only one TCP protocol. In the example of gRPC you'd have gRPC > http/2 > TCP > IP > ethernet

Yes load balancers can make decisions on application layer protocols like gRPC, but not in mode TCP which is what the parent comment was asking about. That's because that mode only looks at the TCP header and IP headers which don't contain any information about the application protocols.

An example of a time you might use this mode is if you're terminating TLS on the web servers, so you can't read the encrypted http headers when they hit the load balancer.
Correction (you're right, of course, if you live in a country that thinks vodka must always be 40%): Everclear is effective. It also comes in minibar sized bottles.

95% isopropyl alcohol is even cheaper, and puritan-compatible. ;)

Your local hardware store has plenty of chemicals that will neutralize most viruses an are less expensive and more socially acceptable to smell of during the workday than vodka.

> Because humans need an objective minimum to survive.

I don’t even agree with this. Even for starvation there’s no clean dividing line. Malnutrition leads to reduced lifespans and health problems. I think that quality of life both can and should increase as society improves its technology and wealth.
I'm tentatively a UBI fan, but just switching to single-payer healthcare would do a lot of that. So much damn bureaucracy, public and private, for that. I think the public side's under-accounted-for, actually—so many government agencies end up having to deal with health insurance crap for one reason or another.

Some would remain for private supplemental plans or whatever, but 90+% of that work would just go away. Plus all those uncompensated hours individuals spend fucking with insurance and medical provider billing departments.

I’m sorry if i am reading it wrong, but this guide to multi-tenancy seems to suggest not being multi-tennant and instead running a separate cluster per project. This seems more like scaling single-tenancy than multi-tenant (no bin packing oppty for instance.) or did i read it wrong?
Its not 40% everywhere, I saw vodka much higher than that, especially the further east you go in eastern europe.
Although I doubt even the strongest one will do the job.
What you're arguing for is equity, not equality. We already have equal opportunity. As for the gender wage gap, if women are so disadvantaged - exactly how do they make up 85% of consumer spending?

You can find some very strong vodkas out there, 180 proof in the US corresponds to 90% alcohol.

Cargo cults were island nations that saw cargo planes land. They didn’t understand why the planes landed, but they did want to trade with them. They built makeshift runways and put out boxes of cargo in the hope of attracting planes.

If anything, the 5 person startup with 20 microservices “because Google/Netflix” and “we want to scale” is the cargo cult in this debate.

Not saying one side’s wrong or right, just that cargo cult doesn’t seem to being used correctly here.

(I admit I’m skeptical of microservices, since they add so much complexity, and even Netflix suffers partial service outages on a regular basis...)

You neglect any psychological effects of Scarcity Mentality, entitlement, and avoidance of responsibility for one's life situation. It is far less a resource problem than you would suggest.
Right. But this is the unbridgeable gap between Libertarian-types, who see UBI as a way to cut entitlements and progressives who (at best) see it as a supplement to ALL existing programs. What's the compromise here?
Multi-generational poverty is a thing in Western + Northern Europe as well, so it may be something other than the US model.

The show the recent release notes, changelogs, and recent commit history behind what you're about to upgrade. That's immensely helpful when deciding what you want to update in your dependency list, especially if there are breaking changes. Dependency management is much less of a pain this way.
Not sure why this comment is getting downvoted. I personally hadn't thought to look up how to make DIY hand sanitizer and found it interesting.

Anyways, the pitfall with this approach is that rubbing alcohol is also sold out. At the Target near me, every single bottle of it is gone, along with all the hand sanitizer, most of the flu medicine, and almost all the Ibuprofen.
Thanks for the feedback. I agree the meaning of the icons is unclear - one is cancel, the other is clear. I would prefer to have text on these buttons, but then localising the language becomes an issue. I will think over these issues!
That's more for minikube, which is a few minutes to run, as it is specifically for developer to test things locally on their computer.
