Great
I will definitely take a look at it!
ICEs are very inefficient. Even when powered by electricity from a coal plant, an electric car has less emissions than an ICE, simply because the coal plant burns coal more efficiently than an ICE. A more efficient ICE certainly helps, but coal to more efficient fossil fuels, like gas, helps even more. And many countries are rapidly moving to cleaner electricity.

But you're right that there are many other sources of CO2 and other greenhouse gasses. Those also definitely need to be addressed, but that does not mean car emissions don't need to be addressed as well.
We're deploying unique kubernetes cluster per client with their own application, database, task runner and, yes, DNS. Unlike your situation, most of it is completely automated ( :) ) on Azure and AWS using terraform, good old bash scripts and a custom go CLI we maintain.

Each client is billed for their own resource usage and we can have version disparities between clusters.

On the downsides, maintenance, upgrades and deployments take more time, but we are thinking about potential solutions for managing a fleet of k8s clusters.

This approach makes a lot of sense for B2B customers, and I would add that it's better to separate everything down to the infrastructure level, rather than stopping at the database schema. I would probably do it again in a similar situation !
Piggybacking on your comment, not agreeing with the previous poster.

Currently using all of the tooling you've mentioned on-premise and it's great! Using DNS Anycast (cloudflare/akamai/insert provider) and LB technology we can get highly available without much work. We've got more 9's than our Azure production setups, sadly though I feel like Azure isn't a good standard to compare to.

Bridging the gap from the cloud provider managed services to on-premise (colo) is actually relatively simple. By all means 95% of the tooling these providers use is Open source or has a major open source alternative.

SMB world does change that to your point as I doubt you'll have a devops rockstar who can actually grok these things, more than likely you'll have a dinosaur MSP or IT guy. (for really small companies)

He is giving trump dues when they are due.

I have seen some of those questions trying to get tramp to fail for some quick news.

Those attempts are as childish as trump is. And it doesnt belong to journalism.

Uhhm... he also said trump was right to close the border with china and eu at the start of pandemic and that he was called rasist for it. He was right though, that was the right move. Whatever the motivation, restricting frivolous travel is a way to go to fight pandemics.

He laughed at some joke tweets.

I cant recall anything else apart from that.

The terminology is nearing its limit when talking about these kind of things.

I believe that static typing here means that there is no need for runtime dynamics type checks (outside of things like dynamic dispatch as with haskell typeclasses).

That is you can have a body of code where a variable can assume multiple incompatible types, but you always know that it will be the right one.

I would say it is a change in paradigm. Similarly to how rust' borrow checker and lifetimes change the paradigm of manual vs GC memory management
Looks like they got erroneously banned by the automated spam filter as of their very first submission, four months ago:

https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=lguerin

That submission seems like it's from a valid site that has many other submissions, so it may have been something related to the IP address they submitted from (or maybe they used a VPN).

As you said, an e-mail to the moderators should get this fixed.

Sometimes, some situations are just not representative and we don't always know the reason.

For example, mortality might have been higher because of inadequate care at the highest of the pandemic. Or there might be some genes that are prevalent or absent in the population that are specific to the region that make the virus behave differently than for the rest of the world.
That depends on how much of the front of the current learning curve is composed of things people will need to know later.

You're claiming this in a thread about how a flagship project from one of the biggest names in the industry found that 70% of their security bugs were things that wouldn't have happened in Java or C#. Your statement may be true, but only for a kind of "correctly" that doesn't actually exist in practice.

Where are you getting those stats?

> This message just translate at best, your feelings (as a Java/scala developers ?). And you allow yourself to insult both the HPC Industry and the game industry without even providing metrics based on your "feelings".

Would you defend either of those industries as a haven of good coding practices? Do you believe that they have fewer bugs, make better use of up-to-date tools, make more data-driven decisions, than other parts of the industry? I'm repeating a reputation rather than a specific metric, sure, but does anyone actually dispute that reputation?
It is indeed interesting! I had some use case in mind so I tried to find more about company. sysmic is owned by Pixlab, but both have zero info about people involved. Interestingly, even their linkedin page (../company/pixlabio) doesn't lists any individual and given the work they are doing, I doubt it's single person effort. Well, someone mentioned darknet project, looking into that instead.

> Your question is fair, and it's unfair you're being downvoted.

I agree partly; I didn't downvote but I think in this case the downvotes are not that weird; it's quite well known what Idris is in HN circles, but that's not the point; the article has links that tell you (pointing to idris-lang) and google idris edwin brady (which is on top of the article) will get you more than you want to know most likely but at least enough to know what it is. So it is the absolute bare minimum to open an article and pop in; 'what is this?' if it's not in the first line of an article which I think is not great. A little bit more I do expect from this place; like clicking on the article, immediately recognising it as a language (that's clear within seconds of scrolling the article I would say) and then maybe come back with 'what is dependently typed?' or something. But going from opening the article to hitting wikipedia explaining dependently typed languages is ... well, not much more work than doing nothing and just popping 'huh?' in here imho.

Edit: actually, just google 'idris2' and you have in the first line exactly what, who, why etc.

ICEs have a lot of life left in them yet. Hydrocarbon fuels are energy-dense and easily transported, stored, and transferred. It will be a long time before every use case can be practically and economically covered by electric motors.
Boring. Even an IC engine operating at the Carnot limit would still emit carbon. Convert every IC on earth to a one with theoretically perfect efficiency and we still blast past 1.5deg warming in a few decades.
Since you mentioned complexity, past a certain level of application complexity, you realistically can't do a linear list of Javascript files that you import on the page in order. When you have hundreds of views, you don't want to manually go and figure out what each of them needs as prerequisites. Circular dependencies are annoying when you do it by hand but practically trivial with a packer as long as they're logically sound. Inversion of Control. On-demand loading. These are all problems that have been previously solved by hand, but when you don't want to solve these prerequisite problems before your actual business (or hacking) problems, you build tools to do it for you.

It is basically a split cycle engine and the "New" is a bit overblown by more than 100 years. Even similar non-spark based hot ignition was used back then:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split_cycle_engine

"The Backus Water Motor Company of Newark, New Jersey was producing an early example of a split cycle engine as far back as 1891. The engine, of "a modified A form, with the crank-shaft at the top", was water-cooled and consisted of one working cylinder and one compressing cylinder of equal size and utilized a hot-tube ignitor system."

Let the near-future prove you wrong on both statements ;)

The maximum density of Li-metal batteries [edit: still an immature tech] is around 14 MJ / kg, whereas gasoline is the highest energy-density fossil fuel at 47.5 MJ / kg. This is not a huge gap at all.
The problem is if it's still behaving exactly the same for certain edge cases.

I don't know about stdio, but in Java there are a bunch of float operations in the standardlibrary which can be easily implemented much faster and simpler, but then misbehave in that one edge cases most people don't care about.

> But what he won't tell you is much much harder to be a founder/engineer who actually does stuff.

No idea how hard VCs work, but I suspect this isn't a fair comment. Sounds strikingly similar to engineers' opinions of salespeople - "their job isn't so hard, my job is much harder because I actually have to build something".

To me, dealing with people is a lot more difficult than dealing with machines. I think I would bomb spectacularly if my job was mostly wining, dining and cajoling investors.

If you know about this, you should consider that mastodon.social acts as an example instance. This effectively made blocking Pawoo and a few other instances the norm.

There was a block-list circulating around, and if you do not block every instance on the list, your instance is misogynist, pedophile and far-right.
Is opentelemetry ready for production usage? As my understanding this project is a merge between OpenCensus and OpenTracing, but it’s still in beta and the documentation is really lacking. Does anyone have any hands-on experience with this library?

Show HN: BrAIMS – Connect with founders and share your company progress
Hello there! I'm the founder of brAIMS https://www.braims.org/ we are building a web app to help founders in key aspects of starting something from scratch.

So we are betting on a founder's focused network, helping them connect with other people (founder's, talents, investors), and resources (funding, programs, tools) as founders ourselves we see a big void in networking in early stages and only 1% of founders get funded in a 171B industry. We as founders have access to a lot of tools alike, but we are building with an ecosystem approach on 3 aspects: people, needs, resources. So think about putting Angel List + Linkedin together.

By using brAIMS you'll be able to:

- Create your user and company profile (An unique URL will be given to share your company page with anyone)

- Protect your company sensitive information (Active, Users, Revenue, CAC)

- Edit and Keep your company information and progress up to date to share with people who might be interested.

- Invite your team (Confirmations will be sent to confirm team members in public URL page)

- Invite partners (Confirmations will be sent to confirm partners in public URL page)

- Create a Funding Milestone for your company or project.

- Create a project.

- Request a spot in any of our upcoming events supporting founders. (Example our upcoming Show-Up event to put founders in front of investors July 2020)

- Request to view a full company information if you are an investor interested in putting money in the company (Founders will be able to approve who sees their information)

- Connect with other users in the network page (You'll have access to their contact information in your Network tab in profile)

- Scroll through a list of the created companies to connect and reach them (Aims page).

- Keep track of your activity in a notifications page.

- Advance search of Funding Opportunities filtered by Field, Amount, Modality, Availability, and Location.

Next in our road map is a Feed and Direct messages! We would love to know if this makes sense and get your feedback on the user flows if you get to play a bit with it.

brAIMS is a bootstrapped Entrepreneurs Network, helping founders connect with peers, find funding opportunities and learn about the entrepreneurship field all in one place, if you are related to building something from scratch and all the hurdles that come with it brAIMS is a great space to help people out and connect.
I created https://stockevents.app a few months ago and it's currently undergoing a similar development.

It started of as an app for one use case (events around stocks), but due to customer requests I'm expanding the use cases to many more areas around finance. So I guess in some time it will be a super app for finance.

With each use case I added so far, the conversion rate, in app time and downloads increased.

The key to it all it to keep it simple I guess and help users configure the app so that they only see what they want.
I definitely agree that that is a much harder problem than faithfully converting a binary float to a decimal one.

But doing it correctly shouldn't be too slow. Some rough psuedo-code for what I would do without looking at any references:

- convert the binary float one higher and lower than the given binary float.
- find the point at which they diverge
- Generate the given value rounded to that digit + 1

That probably is off by a digit in some case, but it should be reasonably fast, and is pretty simple.
For simple reads, the SQL model forces significantly worse performance: MySQL benchmarks found that 75% of the time for a pkey lookup was spent on parsing the SQL. For more complex querying, SQL databases can be fast... and they can also be extremely slow, and you can't tell for any given query just by looking at it.

The much-vaunted consistency comes at a significant cost: index updates block writes, and more insidiously, it's very easy to be surprised by a deadlock or a stale transaction with a long-running query. I've seen an SQL database stop committing any new writes because someone ran a seemingly innocuous query 23 days ago. And a lot of the time - including every web use case I've seen - you can't actually make any real use of those consistency guarantees.

Writing either a transformation pipeline that serves the same function as a secondary index, or a deliberate map-reduce style aggregation, takes more up-front effort. But it means you understand what's actually going on a lot more clearly and are much less likely to hit that kind of unpleasant surprise.

Communism tends to create these patterns. It was the same in pre-1989 Poland. Owning USD was illegal, you were supposed to turn them to authorities and get "Polish issued USD" instead. It was a separate kind of currency different from the regular (worthless) Polish currency. But the official exchange rate was order of magnitude worse than the real USD-Polish złoty exchange rate, so nobody did that if they could avoid it.

There were special shops "Pewex" that had all the foreign goods and the best Polish export products - you could only buy that stuff there for Polish USD. It was a way for the state to extract hard currencies from the population.

There was a whole class of people that exchanged USD to Polish currency on the black market (with the real exchange rate). They were called cink-ciarz because they stood in touristy places and whispered "ex-change" in broken English to tourists. It sounded like cink-ciarz to Poles. Lots of fortunes were made that way, and people were in prison because of that.
I think Bill Gates initiatives in Africa are very misunderstood. Women in Africa are still treated worsts than women in the developed world 150 years ago. They get on average 7 children in some parts. There are 200 million women living that experienced female genital mutilation and 600 million women were married before the age of 18.

Medication like Depo-Provera are offered in a liquid form and work as a contraceptive for 3 months. Pfizer has agreed to deliver this medication for at least 8 years for cent on the dollar.

Abortion is still illegal in 145 countries. With a contraceptive available less unsafe abortions are induced. Less unwanted children are born and women are able to plan their family.

In the developing world 5.475.000 children die per year to a lack of financial resources.

300.000 women die per year of preventable causes related to child birth.

Contraceptives are the best invention we have to create a more equal relation between men and women. 240 million women around the world have an unmet need for contraceptives. And Bill Gates is trying to supply these women with a better solution and at least a choice.
It's one of these sci-fi fan wet dreams that doesn't make any sense as soon as you start thinking about it. I put it right next to mining asteroids and building a dyson sphere.
