By vent I meant both in and out (but one vent only doing one thing at a time).

On more thought, I guess making hot air exit from top is always easier. So no need to switch: air comes in from the bottom vent (hot in winter, cool in summer) and out from the top?
I'm a senior engineer and had to push some changes to a repo for a team who's standards I wasn't fully aware of. I've never squashed my commits, so I had to ask the team full of other senior engineers (cream of the crop) how to squash my commits. And the four of us had a discussion on the best way, where no one was fully right in the end.

I almost define senior engineers by their experience dealing with issues more than anything else.

After the whole 'Russiagate' scandal, it's easy to see where the misinformation comes from and its sad no one can handle the truth.
Good pizza, but if there is a bar in walking distance you will be smelling pee. All my visits come with that ripe smell. I get that in DTLA too. It's just what happens when you have people drinking and no public restroom infrastructure to speak of. Maybe you are noseblind, or it's been a few since you've been on the bar scene in manhattan, but the piss smell is very real especially during hot summer nights.
Modern-Day Architecture Design Patterns for Software Professionals
It worked quite well for me (u/Oscar_Cunningham). I usually measure as INTJ, sometimes as INTP. It predicted

INTP 0.235691
INTJ 0.198247

INFP 0.111443
ENTP 0.074658

ISFP 0.030426
ENTJ 0.027369
ESTJ 0.026705
ISTJ 0.025700
ENFJ 0.023411

Seems broken at the moment. I get a 502 error.
I got INTJ, which is correct. But given the Reddit and HN demographics, you could just always guess that.
I don't know if I trust SF or LA if those are the cities you're talking about. NYC has been a much safer city in comparison since the start.
Ask HN: Any open source alternative to Microsoft Teams?
I have to deal daily with Microsoft Teams, and it's the slowest software on my PC. I'm running it on Linux (unofficial client, [0]) because the original client is far worse.

Am I the only one that feels the necessity of replacing this software with an open source alternative that is not ss bloated as the software provided by Microsoft?
Is somebody working on the side to create an alternative client? I would love to contribute.

Data science critique: homelessness of red vs. blue states
MQ is not just rebase. for example, it's a common way to integrate with code review tools. you might want to put out several commits as one CR (to make reviewing easier). then you want to fix up some feedback, i.e. rewrite history (note this also doesn't necessarily mean squashing when merging into the main branch).

i think it's fair to say the committed history shouldn't change (even just on the main branch), and most (?) git servers support this. but ignoring the need for this/ignoring the distributed nature of version control will lead to hacks like MQ. rebase is flexible and allows this.
Can I ask how is working? I am mostly ENTP, but your test told me that I am INFP
That sounds very much like the promise of low-code: use our pre-fab components to quickly assemble your software apps. You'll be able to this with lower skilled people, and no longer be limited by the lack skilled software engineers...
There are two surviving sources on Ashoka's conversion. One states that he became a follower of the Buddha at/after the Battle of Kalinga. This is a rock edict attributed to Ashoka. It does not explicitly say that he converted but rather embraced the monastic path.

The second which is a Buddhist textual source, says that he was always Buddhist, and he in fact had 18,000~ Jain monks put to death because their spiritual leader insulted the Buddha. Why would a Buddhist source lie?

Modern historians play up the first source and bury the latter.
I think the point is more that renting is a pain in the ass and you simply wouldn't bother. You either buy the blender or you don't use a blender. No one would go through the effort of renting one when they don't need it.
Can it guess my star sign too?
Physics followed closely by economics.
For me it guessed ISTJ at 60%, INTJ at 8%, then INTP at 6%, the last of which is what I test as.
Astrology exists in many cultures too. That doesn't mean it has validity as a mean of prediction.

Without details of which cultural practices you refer to, I can say nothing.

The Wikipedia page I linked to says the practice is over 500 years old in Europe. During the last 500 years, Europeans did, at some point or other, take control of almost every piece of land on the planet. It might be hard to say if some practice you saw is indigenous or imported from Europe, perhaps even 300 years ago.
How does the number of times one of two people central to the point of the article are mentioned affect its relevance to HN?

It seemed like the author left most of their own political opinions out of it and stayed mostly on focus about the topic of misinformation and how it affects other people’s political views. Seemed like decent enough actual journalism to me which given the lack of actual journalism available the says is something worth sharing for that alone.
Overall isn't serverless just a cost optimization for intermittent compute workloads? That's handy, sure, but I also figure that costly workloads like that are rare enough that it's obvious why the "revolution" would stop well before conquering the whole cloud market.
That misses the biggest cost, parking. If you work in the city like most people thats easily $15 down the drain.
That was what I had in mind. Thank you for linking to it.
I found the books enjoyable, they're good techno thrillers and page turners like the Ramez Naam ones or Crichton's books but I think putting them into the top 20 is a little bit too much. Just taking a look at your list, Butler and Lem and Ted Chiang are on a different level.

I've read this paper a couple of times without having learned everything. The modeling language Bloom looks to have died on the vine. It's a datalog descendant. Bloom is supposed to help tell one if their distributed system is calm compliant
I am not convinced, so wanted HN to help further analyze.
Please read the comments on the article for some clues.
Thank you!
Hum, I'd kind of disagree with that advice actually.

I find for me the Feynman technique works best for learning. Basically it says, assume you know everything needed to do the work or teach someone else about it, then go do the work or try to teach someone (by writing a blog post for example), and continue until you face a blocker where you actually don't know how to progress or don't know enough to teach that part, then go read just enough to get unblocked, rinse and repeat until you know it all.

What I like about this is that it maximises the search space to spend your learning effort on what really matters. Otherwise it's easy to say... spend too much time on early chapters and not enough on later ones for example.
Ahhh I see now. I was so caught up trying to think of ways to make the hash function give you this property, I didn't realize that it didn't matter and that it emerged as a result of you picking which hash to assign to a tree. Makes sense now, thanks.
I find that this is such a bold claim, when the original study cited only states that 63% of respondents did not plan to deploy any microserve-based architectures in the upcoming years. However, 37% do. That is a LOT. And there is not a single data point relating to the years prior, so a claim that the "revolution has stalled" is actually impossible to make, because we do not know if there ever was one.

The only reason that Spotify is a "convenience" is because of the laws that the record companies bought for themselves.
Yes, by default all websites hosted with cloudflare are completely insecure. Even if both the client connects via https, AND the server supports https, cloudflare uses an unencrypted http connection.

Even the encryption: "full" setting is useless, since it doesn't verify certificates in any way, so an MITM attacker can just sign their own cert in your name.

I suspect CF does this so they can have their "one-click" on boarding for panicking under-attack companies. It really shows that despite all the blog posts about lava lamps and how important security is for them, in the end sales and the shareholder's interest (profit) is king. The very least they should do is have huge warnings about switching to "full (strict)" asap, but really the other two shouldn't be an option at all.

I'm reminded of this whenever I add a new site to CF, since when port 80 is not open, CF just does not work at all, it just shows "backend server down", even when TLS/443 is set up correctly.

And arguing that "it's fine because it protects the connection between the user and the CF server which is the most vulnerable point" is ridiculous. Your nearest CF server is probably in a neighboring city, so the whole path between that city and the other side of the world is readable and modifiable by whoever.

How do you detect if a visitor is real and not a bot?
The only reason to buy new is if you have some sort of aversion towards someones boogers on the wheel and fart dust in the seat. We bought a 2018 toyota for 9k out the door. Nearly 10k off msrp for 2 years used.
I feel like you can easily get per mile wear and tear costs to be 10 cents or less on Toyotas if you run them into the ground. And with fuel at 10 cents to 20 cents per mile assuming a $2.50 to $4.00 per gallon fuel cost and 20 miles per gallon, and insurance is another 5 cents to at most 10 cents per mile ($600 to $1,200 per year for 15k+ miles), you should be able to get the cost of a mile down to somewhere between 20 cents to 40 cents.
Doesn't the premature nature and the ensuing criticism of the Obama peace prize show exactly how highly regarded the peace prize is? If the prize wasn't very prestigious people wouldn't care.

Now you could argue that those "wrong" nominations in the last year's have tarnished the peace prize "brand" so much that is no longer valuable. I would say that is in itself somewhat premature and since it's the most political prize there will always be controversy attached.

Did you ever go past your A1000? Did you use AmigaOS2.1 and up?

...like...scripting all your productivity applications with the same scripting language and have them interchange data, this way, orchestrating workflows I still dream about on other systems?

...like... mounting RAM: or SOUND: or HTTP: or IMAP: or FTP: or ARC(hives): or (raw) MEM(ory): ? All without any Virtual File System? Just real device level mounts?

#> mount HTTP:
#> COPY HTTP:hostname.tld/~user/index.html TO folder/

...like...having a hypertext standard, which can cross-reference all your includes, combine them with system documentation and have them appear on hover in your editor?

And so much more...

Yes, you can do all these things, the one way or other, on today's systems (except the mounting example,afaik). But with the Amiga these things were built-in. Which means, that, instead of system administration and time wasted on setup and tooling, you would just use the things and enjoy more productivity.
I see some articles from 2018 saying Spotify has spent 10 Billion in royalties since it started in 2006. That's a little more than 800 million per year.

I'm sure if you went after smaller and indie labels, you could license a big catalog, without much music people actually want, for a much more reasonable amount.
In some sense we have done it (taken a sample, returned to earth). The question is, would it be valuable to do so at scale?

If we had a good reason to mine an asteroid, knew we could get to said asteroid, and the asteroid has a composition we predicted. It’s probably possible to mine it to some extent.

However, in terms of economics... today, we haven’t proven we can mine an asteroid in a meaningful way.

Assuming we could, why? It would be cheaper at this point to just send up stuff from earth. If we prove our the mining tech, then it becomes cheaper to replicate, then it becomes more economical. However, first we need a use case that precludes an earth resupply (to force the major investment of tech). I suspect this will happen when we mine some super rare substance that is never found on earth (and/or we are curious about what’s deep inside an asteroid)
Yeah, my point was on "tiny", not data URL.

Have you tried to order an uber from a suburb that isn't very near the city center? You wait 20 minutes while you watch them drive from the airport to your house, and half the time the driver cancels the ride after you've been waiting for 15 minutes when they realize how far you are from the airport where all the fares in the area typically come from.
1.5-3 Million still feels like a lot, regardless of if it's my parents and their friends or if it is me or my friends.
I definitely have not forgotten this aspect of it. Let's just say I've spent a lot of time on the phone for fun

If we want to talk about running a CDN company in terms of lots of additional organizational complexity in terms of customer service it can't be done on a single engineer's salary. My perception of a homegrown CDN is one that rivals uptime and deliverability metrics of existing commercial CDN providers. Within an existing org it can be done. If we're talking outside of an existing org think http://www.nosupportlinuxhosting.com/ to shave costs.

If we're willing to define parameters on what level of service this CDN needs to meet and ramp up time I'd be willing to take it on.
My psychological stress is knowing our company is hemorrhaging 50k €/month on AWS fees (mainly Lambda, step functions, and CloudWatch) to run a production app that could easily run on a couple of VMs (for failover) and a managed DB instance.

I hate to sound inflammatory, but just to get everyone on the same page, and because I was wondering the same thing:

I thought Ferraris were show-off cars for the rich, and if you were rich enough to have one, and had a child, then you would (sensibly) own a separate, functional car when you actually intended to drive that child around (or employ some car/chauffeur service or whatever).

Edit: I googled Ferraris with back seats, and got this article which opens by acknowledging that people don't expect them to exist or for Ferraris to be kid friendly, so I think I (and the heavily downvoted GP) can be forgiven for harboring this misconception.

>>Adam Merlin, President at Merlin Auto Group, confidently answers, “Every time I speak about Ferraris being kid friendly, people think I’m nuts. And for the most part, I am. After all, even Ferraris that do have back seats often require the rear passenger to sacrifice leg room, so you can imagine peoples’ reactions when I allude to fitting car seats back there. However, after trying a plethora of Ferrari models, I can confidently say there are models you can choose from, if you have a family and still want to spoil yourself by driving a Ferrari.”

Yes, the post mentions a project called Smithay which is essentially this.
I don't think so it was considered a golden phase. India was united but there weren't significant progress in art and mathematics barring a few exceptions. also, the religious prosecution and the tax on non believers sucked the poor dry. The gupta Empire around 7th century CE is considered the last golden age of pan India. though such a big country, different parts had their different parts of prosperity like Vijayanagar empire in 15 th century CE
Writers, Can We Use the Rock’s Example and Openly Discuss Politics?
Micro services are one of the most thorny naming issues in CS. What exactly do you mean by “micro services”? The breadth of definitions for that specific term means that by some counts, there is basically no company in the world that doesn’t deploy some micro services, or there are basically no companies that do. Depends on who you ask.
Replying to my own comment because I went looking for a current article on vendor lock-in. This is anecdotal and I get that, but I agree with it:

We’re not buying into IBM mainframes anymore and although there are still customers tied to Oracle databases, vendor lock-in just isn’t that big of a deal anymore.

Time magazine is a prime example of a disinformation outlet masquerading as a news source.

The biggest issue facing our society isn't "disinformation." It's the change in media technology. It's no coincidence there was vast political unrest at the time of introduction of radio. The lizards who have been in charge of propaganda in the West for the last 100-odd years are nervous, as they should be, that they've lost control of the message because people are talking about things on the internets.
> As someone who had siblings that required various visits to the hospital for emergency things, using an ambulance each time would have paid for a couple of new cars.

If it happens that often then the article wouldn't advise you against having a car.

> Most healthcare isn't going to cover the use of an ambulance for a broken arm or a bunch of marbles up the nose and waiting for (and using) an Uber/Lyft in these scenarios is also pretty bad.

If you're going to the emergency room you'll probably be waiting plenty long once you get there.
It can guess your Reddit birthday-based star sign.
I haven't read the book and maybe the argument is solid, but I'm inclined to disagree. For mining, maybe Mars isn't the best place (hoisting stuff out of the gravity well might not be worth it except for high-value metals), but on the other hand it has decent gravity and an atmosphere, which means it's more suitable for human habitation and fuel processing than the asteroids. And living on a planet has a certain appeal that living on a ship doesn't.

In the far future we might have better habitats in the asteroid belt than on Mars, but that's pretty far out. In the medium term, I expect Mars will be an important fuel stop at the least.

I guess there'd be a kind of a self-perpetuating economic force at work: mining would be most lucrative when the products can be consumed near where they're made, and if there's a heavy demand for construction in the asteroid belts then the asteroid belts are where most of the materials will come from. If it's on Mars, then the materials will be gotten on Mars. (That's assuming that material shipment is expensive. On the other hand, if you can mine iron in the belts and then just lob it at Mars with a rail gun and have the Martians drive out in rovers to collect the splatters of molten metal off the surface, then maybe the economics of non-local mining can work out.)

I try to buy a copy of records I really like off Bandcamp but if you look at the supporters list for even fairly popular albums it's pretty short. Do musicians make enough money off sales on Bandcamp to make a difference? I can't imagine anybody could earn a living at those volumes.

What's wrong with removing busy roads from urban areas? The idea has been tried many times in many European cities and it has been proven to be an excellent idea almost every time.

Making city centers into pedestrian zones with bike paths and a few bus lanes passing through does wonders for sound levels, safety, makes getting around easier, improves air quality and make the city centers more alive and pleasant.

[Here is a report by the European Commission](https://ec.europa.eu/environment/pubs/pdf/streets_people.pdf) that analyses the effects of reclaiming streets from cats in eight different cities.
Music has existed for a few thousand years before the idea of selling recordings of it started existing.

Spotify is doing nothing* to hurt live shows, which have been the primary mode that music was produced, consumed, and made money from for the vast majority of its history.

* well, the existence of easy to consume recordings definitely has an impact on live shows, but I don't think it's that drastic.

Perhaps killing this era of licensed recordings as the main source of income for the music industry is not such a bad thing after all.
Actually, HFT is willing to pay retail brokerages like Robinhood to get access to orders from retail investors BEFORE they hit the exchanges. This is how trades are offered for free.

Why? Because they know that they can buy those shares at some reported price then trade them on their own books then sell them at a price sufficiently different from the reported price that they make a profit.

This means that HFT is explicitly getting "in front of retail" and is actually trading at a price different from what retail hears about. That difference goes where? Oh right. Right into the pockets of HFT and out of the pockets of retail investors.

As someone living in a 1br, I'm not sure how you aren't constantly pining for the 2br like me. It would change so much. Right now my living room houses my hobbies, my job, my tv, my dining room, my gym, and my couch where I can fit 1 friend awkwardly sleeping with their legs sticking out the end. A second bedroom would become the office, the gym, the guest room, the music room, and would free up my living room for, well, living.

I dream of that day, but I don't expect to see it for another 4-5 years at least given the nature of the beast in this field in this city.
