I felt the same when I wanted to pick my domain name: you're tempted to go for the traditional way of going with YourName, and then buy the .com or .org but what if you buy only one of them ? How does someone else know that YourName.io isn't your website if you don't buy it ?

My conclusion was that your domain name must not be in the form of YourName.tld; the tld must be part of your name. You can either use puns like buying yourna.me, but it's a bit weird for non-tech people, or you have to use the weirdness of tlds and go for something like lostin.space. There is less confusion at "what comes after" because there is only one.
I make no comment on her politics, but the previous UK Prime Minister had exactly the demeanor you could ask of a public servant.

It feels like she was the last of her kind, and it is governments of salesmen from here on in.

If you encounter someone in your life who exhibits the culture of rule bending, bring technically correct, or trying to get away with something, then please hold them to a higher standard, especially if they have any kind of public role.

The alternative is these double speaking wheeler dealers — in this example, one who is concocting a self serving interpretation of the lockdown rules — who break that most golden of all rules: do unto others as you would have done to yourself.

Or as I like to say it — what if everyone behaved like you did?

not sure if it's because English is not your first language or just had a grumpy day or something else, this came across veeery negative. Be positive in your comments on work.

if you want to be critical doing so with positivity gives it more credibility because it shows you're able to see both sides. leading people to assume you're more likely making a balanced rather than a biased assessment, whether or not that's true.
The fact that more people knit in the US than there are programmers is irrelevant though for the argument that most of "the people involved with knitting probably just aren't heavy internet users."

If a bombing is what it takes, then a bombing it is. I don't care much what method would be used - of course I prefer the one with least dead civilians - but certainly what they actually did was not enough, and in result a whole country has been condemned to poverty and a mindset/life outlook so twisted, people outside hardly understand it[1]. Repairing the damage will take at least 30 more years, if not more; that's several entire generations of people merely surviving, not living.

I am not German, btw. I am Czech and I don't think Babis and Zeman are CIA operatives, but their relationship with StB/KGB is well documented.

Hernan Cortes had around 600 men. They had no chance against an empire like the Aztec. Fortunately for him other tribes wanted to see the tyrannical Aztecs gone.

A lot of people make the mistake of including the point release in that command. It's not necessary, specifying Python3 will do it.
It's great that tools like the Wayback machine are able to objectively prove attempts at lying like this one. I'm afraid, though, that the insane level of polarisation that politics has reached in this day will protect Cummings from any serious consequences: will his own faction care about this at all?

I don't think this benefits ICs at winning the race, that ship has sailed. Rather it benefits "us". ICs are going to be around for a while depending on the application. They might as well get more efficient and less polluting.

We're still improving on DSL and coax as long as they have to be around even if fiber is better.
>What a keeper. He'll be promoted soon no doubt.

Given that he is currently being accused of a very relaxed attitude to the truth, I think it is highly significant.
Hey it worked for AOL ... for a while
I have no experience in that field, but the isolation brought by a 1 customer <-> 1 DB relationship sounds VERY appealing to me. I'm talking about schemas, no dedicated database servers.

Creating dedicated database app users with the proper permissions pretty much guarantees that you'll never serve data to the wrong customer.

It also probably makes bug and performance troubleshooting much easier.

The biggest downside is probably the maintenance overhead, but I suppose automation can mitigate it quite well.

It maybe makes internal reporting a bit harder, as you can't get the whole data from a single SQL query. You'd have to handle this in the application layer.
I have read countless stories of Apple users who have had their beloved software broken by Microsoft updates, and Windows bugs. It goes every way.
ICE motors have been evolving for over a century now so the improvements will become ever smaller. Despite that slowdown in progress, the energy density advantage of fuel over batteries still vast. Regulation should, in my opinion, be be aggressively pushing towards reducing vehicle size and weight instead of focusing on the fuel. Having a 2 ton car to move a 60kg person from stop light to stop light is just insane

Doing the same thing to 100 databases is usually easy to automate.

I managed a group that had a dozen customers on a single multi-tenant database and some migrations took more than a day - we needed to set maintenance windows on weekends (and once we had to roll back after an error).

Having a dozen databases we could roll out updates to on a client per client basis would have saved us from some enormous headaches.

OTOH, no two companies are alike. You do you.

That's a lot less clickbaity because it's entirely expected.
i did this a loooong time ago with coldfusion and the saas i wrote. in the beginning each customer had their own database and instance of the application. at the time i had 25+ customers and doing update to the application or the database took the entire weekend. over the course of 2 months i wrote everything into a multi tenet app with a single database and never looked back.

i think that my thinking at the time that it would be easier from a security perspective since everyone had their own data and also speed wise since multiple smaller database could fit into memory better.

security wise, especially with an orm, it's not a huge concern as long as you use the top level model as an entry point, it will isolate everyone 95% of the time.

as for database sizes... we live in a world now where you can pretty much scale in an instance by throwing more virtual resources at anything, so i wouldn't worry.
I could never forgive her after her stint as home secretary, after she instituted additional mass surveillance and argued strongly for far more, as usual, all under the guise of "keeping us safe".

But as much as I disliked her for her stance on surveillance, I do have to say that she had an impossible job in that limbo state after the brexit vote.

I really would have thought he'd know better than this.

Without having researched Cummings in much detail, I certainly don't like the political causes he has supported but I have vaguely got the impression he might (despite his history degree) be quite intelligent at managing teams that make good use of data to drive policy - something which would appeal to the HN crowd. Does anyone know am I justified in thinking this, or is it all spinning smoke and mirrors?

May did have a public persona of duty, but she was also exceptionally dishonest both publically and privately with allies and opponents alike. She was running a non-stop gaslighting operation on the public and MPs, and she was never honest about what choices were available. Nobody would trust a thing she said by the end. She also did more than anyone else to widen the brexit divisions with the loss of losers consent on the Remain side of the brexit.

Types are not "altered". Types can be parameters. You can have a function that takes a type and returns something else (another type, or even another value). But nothing is changing.
Yes, photovoltaics during winter are a dream. "Charging next time in 6 months".
> Consider that knitting patterns are older than calculus, and of concern for a huge number people today, while programming patterns are 50 years old and relevant for less than half of those that concern themselves with knitting.

That says literally nothing about why you should have a long article about the meta of "knitting patterns". The different types of forks don't even have their own article. Shame! Rage! I'm offended!

> Then argue again that the difference in effort is adequately described by lack of sources rather than people like you actively discouraging effort being put into expanding a topic.

Literally nobody discourages any effort. Your assumption seems to be "just add some women, they will naturally flock to articles about knitting. If the articles about knitting patterns isn't as long as the article about programming patterns, that's proof of discrimination". It's obviously wrong.

> As to your final question, I don't really care about knitting, why should I do it in place of all the people that do?

That's the real reason. Nobody cares about expanding the knitting pattern article. But most people don't have a need to be perpetually enraged, so they notice that there's an article about knitting patterns, see that there's an spin-off article about common knitting pattern abbreviations, read a thing or two and then move on with their life.

They don't construct elaborate conspiracy theories about people trying to discourage efforts to expand the knitting pattern article because of reasons. No wonder people are wary of vague CoCs. They're afraid of people like you, who don't care about the project, who don't contribute, but who need to feel powerful by injecting themselves, making silly demands and then going off about how everybody else is discouraging the noble efforts they don't care about.

I can see that choosing topics to be gendered is itself problematic. Is the implied assumption that knitting is a women's interest not inclusive, and an unhelpful stereotype?

An example - there are pages which are not fleshed out as much as programming patterns such as childcare or kindergarten education which are commonly viewed as stereotypically gendered but which in reality all parents regardless of gender are actually interested in and write about.
I'm not particularly outraged about what Cummings did under lockdown. Having a medical emergency in the family ourselves a few weeks back we were actually encouraged by healthcare workers to do something similar, though in fact we decided against.

I am outraged that he didn't at the time realise that others may need to do similar, and issue clarification on the rules to publicise that this sort of thing was permissible.
That's a fair point actually, thanks.
> The only justification for the disaster of modern JS 'development' is: job security.

You could also explain it by a succession of well-intentioned-but-ultimately-unsuccessful attempts to reign in the insanity. At least for things like TypeScript and CoffeeScript.

That has nothing to do with this story though. The actual scandal is that Cummings broke the law to drive hundreds of miles to his parents during lockdown, with his wife (who had covid) and child in the car. And didn't even go directly, but stopped by a local beauty spot on the way back. And now he has been coming up with flimsy excuses for this for the last few days.
My dad worked on one of the radar stations on the dew line in Canada. He's got some cool photos. Like photos of a Polar Bear looking in the windows of his cabin.

I'm actually just learning about Meson for a small project I'm doing. It's... nice in many ways, but you can tell it's still very young. It's trying to avoid many pitfalls of older projects like CMake by being very strict and opinionated about how it can be used and how you can extend it. This is, I think, a good thing, but that means it also lacks a lot of support that is needed to do certain things. So, it's nice, as long as your build is not too complicated. At least it stops you from building a multiheaded hydra, but at the same time it doesn't cover everything you might need so you can get yourself into a corner if you commit to using it and then discover later that you'll need some functionality it doesn't provide.

You know, what I'd _really_ like, the more I think about it, is consistent a way to treat the "build system" simply as a separate project than the "source code". It's just silly how coupled the build system can become with the specific project it's been designed for. More thought is needed towards decoupling build systems from their corresponding target code. The last thing I want as a C/C++ developer is to have to maintain multiple build systems AND make sure everything is correct about what "package files" (pkg-config, CMake targets, etc) they install and where. Lately I find more and more time is spend maintaining build systems than the actual code, and it's very frustrating, and only gets worse as more and more "solutions" become available that require whole new build systems to be designed and integrated. I have several projects that have at least 2 build systems in their repositories, and we have to constantly test them both and make sure they do the same things.

Not at all, except if you mean arctic winter (when it's technically night all the day).

Also, electric offers you the plethora of choices in methods to produce your energy. If it's not photovoltaic, you still have many solutions. Could as well be eolian, or a dam, or hundred of people riding generator-bikes (half-kidding), or etc.
Tracing term is kind of overloaded. In this article its used not as _distributed tracing_, but as _instrumenting_. E.g., Linux's trace points, or any other tools such dtrace, strace and so on. So it doesn't relate to systems design decisions.
4K TV (from Netflix) recommends 25Mbps for each stream. I know that this isn't 100Mbps but Netflix supports streaming to 4 devices at once (with the premium account). You also have to allow for other simultaneous usages (your kids playing games while you are streaming video, etc.).

This doesn't answer the question of what 10Gbps would be used for, but there are at least some applications today that use a significant portion of 100Mbps bandwidth. This is just speculation on my part, but history suggests that once 10Gbps is available inventive people will find a use for that bandwidth.
But she was also exactly the wrong person to do that impossible job. As you say, the job was impossible, but the best chance of success would have required someone who was amazing at making deals (rather than trying to forge a course that ignores those you disagree with), getting people to compromise and come together, and the ability to question your own assumptions.
To give some context, this is the guy who is currently at the centre of a scandal for breaking the law to drive hundreds of miles to his parents during lockdown, with his wife (who had covid) and child in the car. And didn't even go directly, but stopped by a local beauty spot on the way back. And now he has been coming up with flimsy excuses for this for the last few days, which the government (including the prime minister) desperately parrots lest they would have to admit that one of their team did something wrong.
High intelligence, execrable wisdom. Great mage, lousy Cleric or paladin.
For me at least, using Python is the least of my concerns, in fact I like Python so having the build system in a familiar language instead of some esoteric DSL would be wonderful. Unfortunately SCons was too slow and had its own problems, but it wasn't a bad idea imho.

That said one thing I like about autotools is how it generates a build system that doesn't depend on more than shell script and make, and can be packaged that way. It's annoying that CMake produces a build system that requires CMake to be present to build.
When GAAP was developed stock-based compensation was not used nearly as widely as it is now, and was seen as more of a special item for a footnote.
It's a pretty elastic word these days, especially given China. And of course they do want overseas trade. The US embargo of using the power of the state to make it as difficult as possible for even non-US companies to trade with Cuba is hardly a pro-freedom one.

So far as I can tell it's this way because 95% of the US doesn't care one way or the other but there are Cuban exiles in Florida who care a lot about punishing Castro, and they're good at voting.

Yep, I replied to the other comment but I'll concede that I was using this term too specifically and inaccurately.

In any case, my point wasn't in opposition to the social welfare systems in Scandinavian countries, for instance, as I'm at least reasonably familiar with the services they provide to citizens which generally seem to genuinely work as you said.
Likewise without having researched in detail, my impression is that he's probably very intelligent at stuff like that, but at the same time, utterly unprincipled.

Is this as big a gotcha as people think it is?

The article which he quoted in length in 2019 [0] hasn't been modified and did mention both SARS and Coronavirus. He's just amending the quote he took from it.

Obviously the first time he quoted it, he didn't think it was relevant to show the example, so contracted it by hand to "[An example]" [1].

In 2020, he realises that specifically mentioning SARS and Coronavirus in a blog post about the dangers of biolabs causing a global pandemic will either seem relevant or look prescient so he adds it back into the quote [2].

This implies that in 2019, he had read the article and was aware of threats like coronavirus/SARS, but didn't think it was the important aspect of what he was discussing. So his crime here is a bit like rewriting your CV for a new job -- not lying about what you know or have done, but using different words that emphasize new aspects to the new audience.

Not if he wants to cite it in an official capacity, as he did here.
I doubt Julia is mature enough for this job. You should better have chosen good old Matlab or Fortran.
This seems like a hostile interpretation of what he said.

Cummings said he had warned about the dangers of pandemics.

The original archived version of his blog post obviously warns about pandemics.

Hm, maybe the thedrive.com article has been changed since then. I can only find one link to that page, in the final paragraph.
One of my personal fantasies is that the United States imposes a maximum road speed limit of 45 miles per hour (72 kilometers / hour). As a result, cars get lighter, more efficient, and safer, and trains become more popular and practical means of traveling long distances.

45 miles an hour seems like a reasonable compromise speed. At 65% the common highway speed limit of 70 mph, it's still fast enough to cross most states in a day, to travel between nearby cities in an hour or so, and to do errands in an afternoon. But a car at that speed has only 41% the kinetic energy as at 70 mph, making colisons less lethal, and has similarly less wind resistance, requiring smaller engines and less fuel.

Maybe I just think trains are romantic...
