If you're interested in Schoenberg, it's definitely worth checking out the other members of the second Viennese school: Alban Berg and Anton von Webern. A really good starting point would be Berg's violin concerto or (if you like opera) Wozzeck (which has themes that seem astonishingly relevant today (ptsd, difficulty for returning military in adjusting to civilian society etc). Berg's violin concerto is famous for having an amazing moment of transcendent beauty built around a reference to another great work (which I don't want to spoiler but you can search and find out about it if you want or just listen to it!).

No substantial arguments in the article. Hackernews used to be one of the rare places where quality is valued. How can such a low content and low quality article get so high on the HN frontpage?
It only works if they are self contained without access additional resources on the file system, as the executable file is kept alive until process termination.

Now if the process tries to access some datafiles that changed contents during the upgrade, it might just crash and burn, eventually corrupting data in the process.
Unit Testing Is Overrated
For a lot of code, if you write JS like you write C (avoid allocations by avoiding the creation of objects, arrays or closures) you should get very comparable performance i.e. within 30% to 50% of C performance
I'm not sure how relevant this is to running your website on the "darknet", but a potential warning for future Tor service operators: I ran a TOR relay for about a year, eventually even ordering a static IP for 5€/month. One random day, I was unable to log into my online banking, receiving some obscure error code. After digging around and finally contacting the bank, they referred me to some "IP protection service" in the UK, which had put me on a blacklist for unknown reasons (they don't tell you the reason for security reasons, but there was mention of something "proxy"). After submitting multiple requests to remove me from their blacklist (all automated online with no option to talk to a human), I finally caved in and shut down my relay. After doing that, combined with waiting a few days, while also continually resubmitting my removal request, they marked my IP as "clean", allowing me to login to my bank again. The whole process took about 6 weeks, and neither my bank nor the UK service provided any assistance along the way. Fun times.

I would love to run a TOR relay again but I'm a bit paranoid now.
Really bad what is happening there. Also really bad that there is no western government with values to formulate criticism. That says a lot.
AppImages are basically (kind of) statically linked binaries.

Not my favorite to install software since they're usually huge (500mb is not far out of the norm), but great for things that are hard to install, as they're pretty much guaranteed to work.

I just wish there was a command line switch to stop it from wanting to install itself on my system (move the AppImage to /opt).

The stock price only reflects the supply and demand of a company’s stock. A lot of people want to have nvidias and Tesla stock, so their price is higher.

The problem is all those people writing financial pornography about the stock market. That can give you the impression that there is more to the stock price than that.

I somewhat disagree with this interpretation, I see more as using the votes as part of the argument "considering the downvotes you are wrong" and similar. In this case he got the signal that many people disagree with his message but cannot understand why.

It is one thing when you make a controversial statement and then decide to attack downvoters, it is a different thing if you are trying to understand how and why people disagreed with you.

We would _definitely_ be interested in that. We have a few very non-technical clients who would just be a bit overwhelmed by GitHub. Add into this that GitHub's permission levels don't allow you to have an issues only user (their official recommended way to do this is to have an entirely separate repo, just for your issues!), AND that we would like to set 2FA as mandatory for organisation users, but then we're back to the non technical users for whom the whole concept of 2FA is alien.

Thanks for the pricing info too. Sounds promising.

Given that you can configure any DB to use extra RAM as a cache, and many datasets will fit in that cache, if I was a fact checker I'd give the "25x faster" rating at least a "partly false" rating.
If we're questioning the egalitarian quality of pre-20th century relationŝips, one could also say that "heterosexuality" between equals was also not the norm.

Only modern _homosexuality,_ though, is burdened with the requirement to prove that its historical antecedents were somehow more egalitarian than the norm for its time.
Seems the right way to go. Decentralize. It separates the "communities" even more, just allows people to host their virtual place.
You may find this article interesting: https://medium.com/chrismarshallny/testing-harness-vs-unit-4...

I think unit testing definitely has its place. I use it a lot; but I have learned to moderate my reliance on unit testing.

I tend to prefer test harnesses and manual (or automation-assisted) testing. I've sometimes written my own unit-testing frameworks, because the "canned" variants didn't give me what I needed.

The term "unit testing" is quite old. It seems to mean something different, these days, from what it used to mean.

As far as I'm concerned "not testing my software" is out of the question.

For most of my projects, the testing code is vastly greater than the actual product code.
Google did profit massively from kubernetes, moreso than any other big company (Hello Red Hat lol)

It was (for better and for worse) the #1 reason to adopt GCP for our main cloud platform, and we're not alone.

It's has seen immense adoption that it wouldn't have had if it hadn't been in a neutral foundation. The work was definitely not done by Google alone (~30%).

IS GCP "still" #3 ? Yes.
Is it because they didn't get a tighter grip on k8s and try to use it as a competitive advantage ? absolutely not.
Nobody would have touched k8s with a 10 foot pole in that situation.

The strength of k8s is in its eco-system and that wouldn't have happened without the CNCF.

And I'm saying this as an early adopter of k8s, it's insane for the Google brass to see anything other than an immense success in the handling of k8s, at least from the perspective of how much money it made Google (indirectly)

It's not because of K8S strategy that GCP is #3.
It's just because MS & AWS are better. PERIOD.
Better at service, better at marketing, better at some product design sometimes, better at abusing their current dominant position (hehe it sucks doesn't Goog ? heh? Doesn't it ?)

I'm writing my first eBook about micro-entrepreneurship that's called Start With A Side-Project.

So far I'm only offering it on Gumroad, I actively promote it since I'm a first-time author so I don't expect to be recommended by Gumroad.

How does the discoverability on Amazon works? Will I have to put efforts promoting it there as well? I might as well just focus on promoting my Gumroad page instead of promoting two links.

The exact thing has happened to me over the years about twice now, even though some of my more recent apps I have actually shipped... It frustrated me so much that I decided to not take anymore contracts for a few months and just put my head down and pump out a few mac / iOS apps I've always wanted to make...
Running a service aggregating feeds (something like Google Reader was, or a hosted tintinyrss) this can become complicated with the different link taxes (ancillary copyright for press publishers) being introduced in different countries.

From a technical perspective I would argue that RSS feeds are offered for that purpose, lawyers might still see it as an infringement of rights granted by those laws ...

But you can keep compatibility with Ubuntu if you want by using the same code but keeping control,

Honestly tell me if this does not sound idiotic "Microsoft is evil and we don't trust them, please run our own Windows copy that is the exact same thing but with different colors, MS can push an update and delete all your files because this is not a supported configuration and we have no scripts to check for it but we are not competent enough to setup our own repos and scripts like other distress"

I understand why Mint does what it does, the only idiotic part is complaining about trust in Canonical.
That's why sometimes I wonder if the overlap of "tech" and "stock market" is bad.

One deals with concrete things, other deals with speculation.

These valuations are references of the stock market - it's almost a measure of popularity, than anything else. Right?

I am currently writing a hobby project in Rust with Rocket and Diesel. I could bang out a working prototype very quickly with either Python or something like ASP.NET, but I picked Rust because I want to get better at it.

Many of the things you say are true - Rust libraries in general need some love and polish before they can be beginner-friendly, but some are getting there. The difference between Diesel and Rocket, for example, is quite stark. The former has only the barest minimum 'examples' and 'guide', if they may be called that, and I feel like I'm expected to read and understand its source code to become really proficient with it. It takes a lot of experimenting and trial+error to do anything beyond the basics.
Rocket, on the other hand, has a very comprehensive guide with useful examples and, so far, has been enjoyable to work.

That said, there are still a lot of "convenience" features missing. My current notable example is forms. As I'm doing it (I haven't looked into any addons to Rocket for this), I have to write out the HTML for the form myself, along with any Javascript I might require for validation, etc, then write the server-side methods for GET/POST, making sure to maintain the state myself. In this regard, something like Django's effortless ease to get a form on screen and store its data into a database really showcases where Rust (Rocket) still has a long way to go.

Hopefully, with more people using it, the tools and libraries will improve and mature, particularly the documentation.

When all is said and done, I enjoy "slogging" through Rust a lot more than I did working with Django, even with the slower progress. Something about this language really speaks to me.
Yeah but it is not something that is cultivated from your effort.
Let’s call that one “Rule XXXIV”
That is off-topic, but it is an interesting explanation. It’s a useful example for thinking about a lot of design situations where two different approaches both seem equally feasible yet are very different and incompatible.

How do you feel about the quality of advice Reddit gives on subjects that you are an expert in?

Because I know how I feel and that makes Reddit the absolute last place I would go for advice on something I'm unfamiliar in. I can google something and skim the top results myself.
> one could also say that "heterosexuality" between equals was also not the norm.

Yes, that's pretty much what I said. Hence also the historical focus on socially sanctioning heterosexual sex via marriage, and on the family's role in carefully vetting prospective marriage partners. It clearly didn't go as far as modern "consent culture" towards solving the issue, but it was a rough attempt.
Lately i've been using flatpak to install many applications and then `flatpak-override` to remove any unwanted permissions from those apps. Usually i try to completely sandbox them by only giving them access to a specific folder on disk.

However, here on HackerNews i've seen many articles about how "flatpak is dangerous" lately. Is there any real concern? If yes, what would be another option? Appimages? I definitely don't want to rely on snaps now...
No, you got it right. Schwartz is a misspelling.
The ventilator shortage is irrelevant to the point the author is trying to make. It doesn't have to be true or false and should be taken as an hypothesis.

The point he was trying to make is that economy is not about money, it's about resources. Money has no value as such, it's a number in a system, or at best a piece of paper. Food is a resource, a ventilator is a resource. Economy is about choices, about how you allocate a resource, it's not about numbers.

Are you talking about JSTOR? Of all the possible takes on the issue, calling it a DDOS is really the most retarded one. It wasn't distributed and it wasn't intended as a denial of service. I'm not even aware that it caused any availability issue, but even if that was the case that was not why that got him into trouble.
Big providers are not reliable either. It's a symetrical problem. If they don't deliver messages, they are not reliable from both sender and recipient PoV.

And you don't have any control over what they blackhole or reject without even delivering to your inbox/spam folder, if you're their user. You don't get to see logs either.

And big benefit of self-hosting is that you can actually make your server receive everything with no rejection or blackholing. So in that sense, self-hosting can actually be made extremely reliable for reception, and that is much more important to me than reliable sending. So I'd say self-hosting is superior when it comes to reliability, because at least you can make one direction "100%" reliable. With big freemail you can't make any direction comparably reliable.

As soon as you get some IP address reputation, sending gets fairly reliable too. And it will also work fine without any modern cruft on top. You really don't need spf, dkim, dmarc or any of that, for your personal e-mails to be delivered.

Kinda unfortunate that others sometimes block you when you're starting out just based on your IP address [range], so it's discouraging, but it mostly works after a while.

I am not sure I get the benefit of looking just at one rss feed at a time.

Unit tests are very important and very cheap. They safe a huge amount of grief later on.

As for everything, the pros and cons should be weighted to reach a practical and effective approach. For example there is rarely a need to test every single function.

Overall, I don't find this piece very insightful.

It looks like the Open Usage Commons organization handles trademarking, so roughly speaking (I'm not a lawyer) they set and enforce rules under which other entities may use their hosted project names and brand identities.

When GCP's container engine launched[1] in 2014 it was initially referred to by the anagram 'GKE' yet corresponded to the name 'Google Container Engine'.

After achieving CNCF certification in Nov 2017[2], GCP began using the term 'Kubernetes' within the product name, rebranding it as 'Google Kubernetes Engine'.

At least as far back as Oct 2017, members of the CNCF did not have to pay any fees[3] to participate in the conformance program.

Is it possible that executives within Google were unhappy about the marketshare gains of GKE and attribute this partially to the time it took their product to achieve certification?

If so, could that have led them to push other open source initiatives within the company to retain their trademarks under tighter control, even if that required creating an organization with less experience handling international trademark registration?

As per the post, IBM's stated standpoint is: "IBM continues to believe that the best way to manage key open source projects such as Istio is with true open governance, under the auspices of a reputable organization with a level playing field for all contributors, transparency for users, and vendor-neutral management of the license and trademarks."

The difference here, that parent was pointing at, is that you eat every single day. You might need to fix your toilet one day, or get a house a few times in your life, but eating is something that you can't get around.

Just like you shouldn't depend on someone to dress your, bathe you and wipe your ass for you (even though that's a whole profession too), depending on someone else to cook for you because you can't, puts you in a vulnerable spot.
