For me the scoffing is because Wordpress is such a well-known and popular CMS that there are hosts that specialize in it and have all this architecture pre-baked. Of all the CMS's in the world I can think of, Wordpress seems like the least likely one to require a bespoke from-scratch hosting strategy.

I self-hosted Wordpress for years and yes this architecture is not unreasonable for a high volume site. Now I pay WP Engine a fixed annual fee and all this comes out of the box with a few clicks.
I don't think Espresso can do this. The Espresso Wikipedia talk page has this: "Espresso is a pure two-layer sum-of-products or product-of-sums minimizer without xor or factoring capabilities."

There is also a paper by E. V. Dubrova et al. about finding optimal AND-OR-XOR expressions which has extensive comparisons with Espresso.

Here are some that come to mind:

* Professional Software Developer Certification. Software developers do not have an industry recognized certification or accreditation program. Every other professional industry has this. Truck drives have this. Here are some specialized subcategories.

- Web Development
- Security Remediation
- Operating Systems and Systems Automation
- Applied Mathematics Applications
- Data Management

* Heat Energy as Electricity. We waste and expend so much energy in the form of heat that could, if captured and stored, be converted to electricity.

* Energy Efficient Hydrogen Capture from Water. Currently it takes more energy the shatter a water molecule than you would gain from burning the resulting hydrogen. Liquefied hydrogen is a wonder fuel whose energy efficient combustion yields water as its waste product and could power spacecraft deep in space.

* Obesity. Obesity is caused by a combination of 3 things: insufficient exercise, preference for carbs over fats as the primary energy source, and unhealthy fat sources. The third one can be solved with a combination of science, agriculture, and economics.

* Mental Health Therapy. There are a tremendous number of people who need mental healthy medicine but never get it (for many reasons). By tremendous I mean an utterly astonishingly significant percentage of the population. Those who do get medicine are often prescribed drugs instead of therapy when therapy is generally more effective and doesn't have negative side effects. Also the sheer quantity of mental health medications is detectable in the public water supply.

* Rapid Oil Metabolism. Oil is a necessary part of the modern economy. Crude oil is refined to make plastics, and so it will be with us well into the future. Oil spills are nasty though. It would be nice if there were micro-organisms that could consume oil so that oil pools could be removed organically in months instead of decades/centuries.

* Space Entry. We are currently limited to using rockets to enter space (or exit Earth). That is horribly fuel inefficient. Any alternative would most certainly be cleaner and more energy efficient, but there aren't alternatives yet.
Tailwind isn't really recognizable at all, since it doesn't ship with any components/style like Bootstrap. It is however such a pleasant way to write code, I'll never go back to regular CSS.

Wow. So they can’t even take the time to write their own thoughtful reply to their constituents on heated issues? They simply plagiarize the work of others or pay some intern to do it?

How insulting.

What the heck is wrong with these politicians? Do they think their office is simply a place where they can “play Game of Thrones” and sit back and smirk?

And we wonder why Americans band together in excitement for non-career-politician presidential candidates like Yang and Trump.
Back to Basics: System Architecture
How have you handled the "storing lots of data on a volume" problem?

This seems a bit like someone saying "my blog never needed Kubernetes". Of course not, that's not what it's for.
Me too, but lots of people may not know so I answered it as if it were sincere.
If they do that after deliberately reducing their maximum charge (a setting which would probably come with a warning that reduced runtime of the phone is the result of doing it), they'll probably also complain that their internet speed has gone down after disabling the LTE/4G option (actually that does seem to be even less transparent, because not everyone knows that LTE is faster than 3G). Didn't stop Apple from offering a switch to disable LTE/4G.
Hey HN, I'm very excited to release GraphiteApps.com! My goal is to enable anyone to create apps from the worlds data, not just developers. Right now it only supports basic read-only apps, but in the future it will support full CRUD, and other datasources. Please checkout the free option - it includes 2 free apps.

Great questions.

- Yes, the only way to log-into Grain is with your Zoom account. It's been really seamless, they did a great job setting up those permissions.

- Sort of. You can take notes if 1) It's your Zoom link or 2) It's someone on your team who is also a Grain user's Zoom link. There isn't currently a way to take notes across workspaces b/c we want the meeting host to be in control for privacy reasons.
and the very funny thing is that they apparently don't do any compression at all on screens, so in one meeting I got a 2560x1440-feed (with 4 fps...). Was horribly slow on the VM I used (because the web-interface was not working at that time). Also I wonder what's stopping them (except for them wanting to get their APT on every machine) from giving you more than one stream in the browser...
They’re moving insanely fast. First mention of ‘an app’ was april 7, tender went out last Saturday, with a deadline of Tuesday noon. Preselection of 7 candidates out of 660 applications took 3 days. Final selection planned for April 21. Shipping app before the end of April (https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&u=https...) Utter madness.

On the plus side, they plan to publicize the source code of all candidates ‘for experts’, and there’ll be a live stream of the pitches of the candidates this weekend.
I would say calling this "open source" as it's generally understood to most here on HN is simply incorrect. This isn't open source on any of those terms.

This is simply a license granting licensees (anyone willing to agree to terms in this case) temporary rights to use the IP for COVID-19 related purposes. That license 1) ends and 2) sets fairly limited use cases allowed under the license.

If we want to relate this back to the software world, "source available" would be a closer analogue.
The Europeans also used 'fruit walls'. I'm thinking of setting up one in Portland. Basically a brick wall that you espalier a fruit tree to. You redirect your chimney floo or hot water pipes through the wall to keep it warmer than the surroundings in the winter. I'm hoping to be able to grow frost-sensitive hardy citrus.

So, if there is a difference between invention and discovery, then dualism is true?
Yep - I run my own composer-driven WP setup based on the roots design and can honestly say that it's an anti-pattern with how WP wants to handle plugins/themes/core updates/etc.

I say it's an anti-pattern because we're talking about WP - a platform that allows you to arbitrarily update PHP files from a web admin/install plugins/etc... It's this sort of flexibility that our clients/end users want and when we start designing that BS out due to security reasons it typically ends up in a user yelling at me for "WHY CAN'T I JUST INSTALL A PLUGIN LIKE THE WORDPRESS TUTORIAL SAYS?!"

When you come back with "security", and "I have to review that code" it almost always falls on deaf ears. When you start designing the flaws out of WP infra you start to realize those same flaws are why marketing is hellbent on keeping it as a CMS - they hate working with/waiting on devs to get things done.

Depends on the doctor, depends on the situation.

I did, you should note, get told not to come back to a doctor's group -- after a single visit to establish a PCP -- for quote "asking too many questions".

My wife was with me and was confused because I was in no way belligerent. And, for sure, that doctor was a piece of work. She just wanted to go through her checklist and be done with it, and her attitude showed.
It seems every post here saying negative things about "hardware RAID" should prefix the term with "inexpensive consumer" or at least "single-system integrated".

Which, to be fair, makes sense with the subject of the article limiting us to a discussion of 8 drives.

Not really b/c 1) Grain is real-time and 2) it's not a screen capture.

I would argue that for BGP to be safe, all ~68,000 autonomous systems will need to embrace RPKI, not just a handful of ISPs/telcos/CDNs. Akamai is announcing ~2,300 prefixes, shouldn’t they use RPKI?
Mentioned once in the other comments here without any link, but another open source speech recognition model I heard about recently is Mozilla DeepSpeech:

I haven't had a chance to test it, and I wish there were a client-side WASM demo of it that I could just visit on Mozilla's site.
You'd want to install Parsec on the server, then controllers work automatically (generally). It works pretty well (though I had to stop using Paperspace because I couldn't afford the cost).
The problem with techniques like this is that they fundamentally amount to ‘making a plausible guess as to what the image would look like’, since essentially they can’t extract information that is simply not there. There is a Shannon entropy limit here.

Machine learning is really machine-enhanced educated-guesswork, which has its place but also has its limits.
I have divided the data onto smaller volumes.
But why is an oath needed or useful? Someone who has a good moral compass doesn't need it, someone who hasn't isn't particularly likely to feel bound by it.
Calling the US "the failed state" also sounds like propaganda.
I wish there were a userscript equivalent for API's. e.g. someone could make and share a script to get flight details from the Gmail API. The advantage would be that I could run the script rather than give an oauth token to a third party to run it on my behalf.
> one is not required to obtain a driver's license, or any other form of state issued ID, in the US

Practically, one is required to obtain an ID to do many common activities. Being able to theoretically opt-out of these systems is a fiction that forms a cornerstone of their justification.
Frankly this wouldn't make for a great highlight clip. You could make it but nobody would watch it.

Grain is best for that punchy quote you want to share mid-moment or for the summary 30 second wrap-up at the end.

We have changed our dialogue to include these at the end of convos b/c that way it's easy to summarize conclusions and next steps to document and share with others. Most good meetings have these anyway.
For people who have used it: is credit card the only payment option?
I used to use oh-my-zsh but I found that it added too much latency to my shell startup. I removed oh-my-zsh and realized I don't need the majority of what it provides.

The only major modification left is my shell theme, which tracks the amount of time between commands, and is green/red like the OP for successful/failed commands.

I also do not source things like nvm, rbenv, etc by default, instead just sourcing them as needed.

>"It's confusing to me to read this -- you write like you know what you're talking about, but that can't be the case because if you knew what you were talking about you'd understand how the kind of mistake that happened can happen."

That's a pretty odd and flimsy argument that I can't know what I'm talking about if I hold an opinion that differs from your own. I have years of experience with this particular space.
Had a MOP been circulated and the maintenance plan properly vetted then the need for visual confirmation because of "legacy patch panel" and "bit rot in cab" would have been identified. Further you never unplug a cable unless you first verify what the ends of the cable are connected to. As I mentioned this is "datacenter operations 101" stuff. This is not some new startup, this a publicly traded company who has been in the game for a decade now.
It's similar with KakaoTalk in Korea, which now also has a payment system in addition to acting as a regular bank, and allows you to buy various things including, say, hairdresser appointments. 93% smartphone market share.
Sorry, not very experienced in RAID. But when you say RAID do you mean RAID 10 or something? Isn't "replication" (i.e. having a mirror as a backup) literally just RAID 1?
Meanwhile for companies like ours not doing this is a competitive advantage. Peoples' jaws drop when we tell them how insanely little we spend on cloud for hundreds of thousands of concurrent users and a lot of stuff going on.

The secret: a la carte bare metal (packet.net, datapacket.com) for high-load and especially high-bandwidth stuff combined with a simple not-over-engineered services deployment in Google GKS with instances tuned for our work load (high CPU, low memory) so we are not paying for RAM we do not need. We are really only using Kubernetes to keep stuff up and auto-scale. We are not even close to using all K8S's features.

GKS is most of the price tag. We could go down to about 1/4 the monthly cost if we rolled our own Kubernetes cluster with Rancher or something at packet.net, but the added labor might negate the savings. We may still do this if we grow significantly, since at larger scales the added labor may be justified by geometric cost savings.

In general the bigger you are the more sense it makes to roll your own. Small and growing: use managed stuff. Bigger: consider bare metal and DIY clusters. Even bigger: co-location can start to make sense. HUGE: build your own data center! It's always a pure spreadsheet decision though. Also keep in mind that you can sometimes split your stack and do managed for one part and bare metal for another. For us the split is between things that are micro-service based, database backed, and need to auto-scale vs. dumb simple bandwidth and CPU pumping services that are trivial to deploy and require little attention. The latter is what goes on bare metal for massive operational cost savings. The former goes in GKS for labor cost savings.

... and yes, it's very stable, and probably more stable than finicky over-engineered Rube Goldberg machine AWS deployments that engineers constantly have to fiddle with.
I'm in the same boat as OP. The entire childhood vaccination schedule is insane because it lacks longitudinal studies demonstrating effectiveness and safety.

Why is varicella in the schedule? The plague upon our house that is chicken pox will hopefully be annihilated one day, only to reappear in a much more painful form later in life as shingles because you need a constant re-up of the varicella vaccine to keep it at bay. What the actual fuck is going on here and who controls the schedule?
Sounds like your setup is only 2 steps away from what OP describes:

1. If you need multiple WP instances, you'll need to duplicate that setup with read replica + load balancer

2. If you want to do things enterprise-proper, you'll want to set up a VPC, which means you need the internet gateway + some routing setup

And voila, thats the above architecture. If you don't need it you don't need it. But none of this is particulary complicated to set up if you know what youre doing, especially if you're using Terraform.
Did you ever get a copy of Nat Geo Adventure / Traveler?

It was one of the sub-magazines that proliferated (probably as they were trying to keep the print business alive). Grabbed a couple in an airport, but they seemed more interesting and focused than the main one.

But when the consensus is based upon for-profit goal-seeking corps that have engaged in successful regulatory capture, it is your duty to question it.

Why, pray tell, are the US's vax schedules so heavy compared to Europe? Are all their doctors quacks are is our medical system bought-and-sold by B-schoolers?

I know the answer and I doubt you're willing to even entertain the truth much less accept it. But I'd love to be wrong about that.

My wife's son is a doctor. He said he wouldn't go to 80% of his fellow med school graduates for care. Being good at memorizing does not make one a good doctor, even though it's essential.
LibreSpeech is 1000h, WSJ is 73h.

Google is training on datasets that are as big as 30kh and MS seems to work on a 10k h dataset.

At the moment, I am working on a similar e2e system but 80h big dataset makes it a really challenging task to generalize well.

There's a lot to unpack here.

First of all, "healthy people do not get diseases" is just flat out wrong, I don't know how you could support such a claim.

Second, do you accept the inevitability of death in all things, meaning you take zero precautions to protect your own life in any and all situations of your life? You never wear a seatbelt, never go to a doctor, wouldn't stay clear of a person if you knew they had a very contagious disease, ...? If yes, I would be very surprised about your stoicism; otherwise it seems inconsistent.

Lastly, do you really believe no person should ever be forced to do anything? So, for example, a mother should not be forced to feed her child, or people should not be prevented from murdering other people? If not, your argument that unlimited freedom is the most important value to preserve falls flat and we must start talking about the situations in which you would restrict someone's freedom.

(I won't even go into how I think this notion of "freedom" is very simplistic because it ignores how un-free we are fundamentally due to situations outside of our control, e.g. very poor people are de facto not very free.)

Yes, though it’s a bit like if every airline implemented an accurate COVID-19 health check. You’d still have local problems, but the infection would keep from spreading worldwide. In the case of BGP, if the major transit providers properly filter routes, hijacks do much less damage to the broad network.
The ID number can also be used by attendees calling in via phone, so it has to be short and numeric (back to the UX vs. security tension).

Another issue was that until recently the ID number was prominently displayed in the application window. Many people (including Boris Johnson) shared screenshots on social media with the ID included.

Some grocery stores have implemented anti bot mechanisms as a result of earlier articles in the news about people using bots to claim delivery slots. In a nutshell, more than x number of requests over an unknown period and you get flagged (wherever you are using a bot or just an over eager human).
I would not use Wordpress to serve a large site directly unless I had no other choice. You can create a much simpler, faster, scalable and more secure architecture using WP2Static (https://wp2static.com/) to publish static files to an S3 Bucket/CloudFront deployment (or your storage+CDN of choice). WP isn't designed for this type of deployment, but the right plugins (e.g., WP Serverless Forms, WP Offload Media Lite) make it work.

If you run the Wordpress instance locally or otherwise secure it from public access, you don't have to worry about keeping WP and its plugins updated, which saves considerable time and expense. This is my go-to solution whenever a WP install is requested.

Ask HN: Advice on Recording Technical Screencasts for Non Technical People?
Recently my team invested a lot of time into a large refactor. This took a while and 'refactor' was a dirty word at upper levels in the org for some time. However, now it's done, been out in prod, and it's producing some seriously amazing results.

(The amount of time it used to take for engineering to do a couple kinds of things has been totally wiped away)

My manager (and his) requested I get together a screencast walking through what the refactor was, and what it's doing for us. They hold the sentiment that if other stakeholders basically left engineering alone for a while, more amazing things like this would happen, and want to use this as a major supporting fact in that narrative.

Usually like to have resources to fall back on for tasks that refresh me on the fundamentals. Don't have this for "remember to do these things when communicating up many levels in the org" as well as "remember to do this when breaking down technical subjects for non-technical folks."

What's important to remember and focus on, here? Any good resources around this?

> Invention is a kind of discovery.

Some inventions can be thought of this way, but I don't think all inventions can. For a relevant example, human mathematical notation is a human invention that I don't think can be usefully thought of as a kind of discovery. (Another poster upthread mentioned Tegmark's response drawing a distinction between the structure of mathematics, which we discover, and the language we use to describe it, which we invent.)
