Because it actually is... Android Market was introduced months after App Store. Obviously programmers know that fundamentally it's extension of some ideas from the Linux world, but that is very irrelevant to the users, and the basics of "download an application from a registry" are not what makes the great App Store experience.
I predicted this and so did others. However I don't think it would come that quick.

Not directly. Translation would be "to govern" or "gather together", but Subaru is one of the constellation's names in Japan, like it would also be called Pleiades in the West, deriving from "plein", meaning "to sail."[0]

That be as it may, I fail to see anything deceptive in the linked article. The widespread notion that the Pleiades have 7 stars while only 6 are visible is definitely interesting.

Not sure I buy the explanation though (that Pleione would have been visibly separable from Atlas 100.000 years ago, and that the memory of that time has lived on in myth). But they do put a question mark after the claim.
How much sensor data is kept in memory in the actor object? What's the cost tradeoff between memory vs an SSD? I wonder if SSD based solution would still be cheaper and more scalable than live memory objects based solution.

While it may come to a shock for English speakers from the UK and the US, not everyone that speaks English are American or British, and may not be primarily interested in literature from those countries.
What Is Ask HN and Show HN

Many members of this site cut their teeth reimplementing proprietary Unix from scratch, e.g. the entire GNU project. Having an open source version of something is a laudable and noteworthy goal. Often many improvements are implemented along the way, since one doesn’t have to do the original design, e.g. the entire GNU project. I for one, am happy to see this.
Reed-Solomon, as implemented in par2, splits the original file into a number of blocks.

The total possible number of blocks I believe is 16k for par2, or some similar number. The specific number of blocks for each file can be configured, and the tradeoff is that the more blocks you want per file, the slower the generation will be.

Then it generates some parity data. Using that parity data it is possible (and guaranteed, if the parity data itself is not corrupt) to detect and completely restore 1 or more complete blocks of the target file.

The more parity data is saved, the larger number of blocks that can be restored with it. But it doesn't matter which blocks get corrupted, or how they are corrupted. For example, if a given parity data supports restoring 10 blocks, any 10 blocks of the source file can become corrupted, in any ways (even completely missing), as long as the corruption is contained in those blocks - the complete original file will be possible to restore.

AFAIK, some other codes are possibly better suited for other tasks, such as stream redundancy measures in radio networks, or other applications where the data corruption has certain known and restricted parameters. But for general purpose file protection, bitrot, bad blocks, bad drives, scratches on an optical disc, download errors etc - Reed-Solomon is very well suited for the task.

This. Using oxygen is regarded by all mountaineering professionals as 'bringing the mountain down to your level', no matter what season.

So the ultimate goal - climbing it in the winter, without bottled oxygen, remains open to others. It has been achieved on all other peaks, but requires many things to come together including huge amount of luck (but that's valid for any 8000m peak).

I would much rather see some elite, whatever the country, climb it in alpine style. The persons who achieve this can be rightfully titled kings of current high altitude mountaineering. Simone Moro, Nirmal Purja and few others have the potential.

I agree they need to fix their laws, but this is censorship.

Punishing people for their speech with the intention of suppressing other people from speaking is censorship and the people that do it are would-be censors. That is what the statement of chilling effect means. Instead of harassing librarians until the librarians burn books, the censors nowadays harass employers until they fire the speakers.

> I think it's gotten much easier to stand up a matrix-synapse server than when you last tried, and suspect you left with a bad taste after joining popular rooms

Exactly that's the problem: If you join a popular room your server will need more resources than the 5 USD/month server typically has. I haven't tried whether 20 USD/month would be enough, but honestly that's a bit more than I am willing to spend for playing around.

But running something with the limitation you cannot join popular rooms didn't seem worth trying either.

Looks really cool. They even play music for the plant!

I'm running several aquariums at home between 17 and 240 litres that I try to run with as little intervention as possible, so I'm quite interested in self-sustaining minuature "ecosystems". In aquariums the plant growth is usually the one thing that requires intervention, as some plant species (especially stem plants and floating plants) will completely overrun the ecosystem within weeks if not trimmed back, and they often will shade the other plants causing them to become stunted or die off entirely.

Aquarists or aquascapers (which is a trend that in its modern interpretation also originated in Japan) will often take pride in being able to grow rare or demanding plant species in their tanks. In some cases this can require holding a lot of parameters in balance: Light, micro- & macro-nutrients (in the water and in the soil), water hardness, PH and temperature.
He insists on the militarization of Romans in his other writings too, specifically the October one :

> In no small part, that success seems to have been motivated by the avowed need of elite patricians for the support of the plebeian commons in order to campaign, since the plebeians made up most of the army [of the Roman Republic].

So, no the Roman Republic did not have a professional army. (Neither, AFAIK did the Roman Empire : they went from mandatory draft to mercenaries ?)

But good point, and I don't know enough about the Greek republics, maybe they were pretty close to the Roman one for this question ?
You think they want to help developers. But this justification is weak. They talk about apps that are not ready for running on Mac, and how users would have a bad user experience. But if you followed the complicated procedure for installing the file manually (the one they just made impossible), then you were clearly on you own, and if you have a bad user experience it's on you.

So if the given justification is weak, then what is the actual reason? It must be that they want to lock down the computers like phones are locked down. This way they can remove objectionable apps (trading favor for favor). And they can protect and extend their 30% cut into computer realm.
Well serendipity makes them reappear, and once they are exposed to mainstream audiences, well, they are very simple, very rythmic music made for easy recall and easy chanting no matter your skill. And as said in other comments, they bring a mix of pirate/adventure/old-times lore that seems cool. I’d also add that to insecure young men they will seem safer to chant. Same as with martial music.
I would probably go with gRPC + grpc-gateway[1] instead. Declaring your services and models in proto files, annotating your services with google.api.http to help grpc-gateway scaffold your HTTP base. Then just implement your services from the interface generated by grpc-go. You can even register your gRPC services to grpc-gateway without actually bringing up a gRPC server. You finally end up having your exact data models injected to your service handlers. Thus, you don't have to repeat yourself preparing the groundwork to call into your services.

This is mostly the way today services in big OSS projects are exposed outside for consumption in a RESTful style. One exception I know of is sourcegraph/sourcegraph.

Protection against bitrot and other data corruption in backups and other storage of important information that is too expensive to get corrupted.
TL;DR If you buy a pizza with your bitcoin you will always regret it.

Long explanation:

If you build a country around a sufficiently deflationary currency then it will stagnate over the long term because keeping your money yields better returns than investing or running businesses.

Let's say you run a company that buys $800 worth of ingredients to make a product that sells for $1000. The problem with physical reality is that you first have to buy before you can sell and the sell date may lie very far into the future. So what happens is that you will do the regrettable act of spending money first and once your product has hit the shelves of a retail store you have to sell your products for $900. Let's say you are a lone carpenter for ease of argument and you are running the entire business yourself. Those $100 are your income. Incomes of workers are going down over time.

In short what you are doing is sell low and buy high all the time because of physical reality.

This can get really nasty, to the point that if you have product stock that isn't selling at all you can actually make a loss! Lets say you have a table that only sold after 3 years for $700. It clearly wasn't worth it so why do it again? Even if you wanted, at some point your business will go bankrupt if you keep doing losing strategies.

Why is this a problem? If you were using Bitcoin to save for retirement then there will eventually come a tipping point where your Bitcoin are worthless because you cannot exchange them for services or goods anymore because the real economy is gone or not big enough to support your retirement.

> Then AWS takes down Parlor. And so many on Hacker News rejoice.

That is because AWS takedown of Parler is the one that is best argued. Largely due to Amazon having to respond to Parler suing them, but result is pretty convincing document.

So you kinda now have to make argument for why Amazon should be forced to continue to host Parler despite all that.

> Go make your own AWS"

AWS has 30% of market and Oracle have same API. There are options beside do own. Moreover, Parler have Mercers money funding, they are not poor nobodied without resources and backing.
Community, even diverse community, requires commonality of some sort. Everyone has a few people they relate to a bit more than others, and that's valuable. Subcultures and esotericism are one way to find those people. And none of this means that everyone who fits must fall into whatever boring conformity you're imagining.

Most people are nothing like me and i've definitely suffered for it. If you don't have that problem maybe you don't need to go looking for people like you.

SSB = Single Site Browser

PWA = Progressive Web App

SSB refers to the ability to run a website inside its own window, like a native application. Also, it is expected to integrate into the desktop environment, with its own icon/shortcut.

PWA is more an umbrella term for websites using various technologies to close the gap between web and native applications (e.g. the ability to run offline). I would say it includes SSB (at least on desktop), among other things.

Where sedition is rewarded – An analysis of Pro-Trump congressional districts
Genuinely literate people mostly know Pratchett, it's a extremely well known author consistently topping charts whose books are available in nearly every language of the world, very popular in Russia as well as Finland as well as Czechia and elsewhere. It shocks me (a Czech person) you'd claim otherwise, some of his books are actually required reading here - we read foreign literature just as much as local. It never struck me as elitist, this is pure merit - you're making it about nations but it's just about Pratchett being that good.

I don't think anybody wants to pay capital gains taxes when purchasing things with cryptocurrencies. Fortunately there are countries with a sane tax policy regarding cryptocurrencies where you don't pay taxes on cryptocurrencies, such as Portugal [0]. Maybe Americans should be pressuring their government for changes to the laws so cryptocurrencies can be useful for payments like they were originally intended?

>I’m not gonna act like I have the answer. Probably to push them into a corner until a new generation takes control, and until oil is worthless or worth less.

The issue is, that will take a shite tonne of manpower. We're trying it in Yeman right now and failing. The same in Lebanon for the last few decades.

Instead of making progress, we're actually losing. Iran has significantly increased its influence in Iraq since we "liberated it".

So we either need to start sending in troops or reconsider entirely.

I'm also hopeful that a new generation will take over and be Pro Western. It is the only long term solution here.

But that won't happen if we continue to attack Iran, Sanction them for nothing etc.

A while back, we (the west) picked Saudi as our ally in the region. That was a horrible mistake. Its time to reevaluate the whole map there and say "what's wrong with Iran as our, if not ally, person we can do business with?".

The only alternative to this is either a huge war or defeat and the whole region falling under hostile control...
>The lack of E2E encryption and sender authentication makes it completely useless these days.

The elephant in the room here is that there is nothing wrong with, say, PGP. Any meaningful approach using public key crytography and crytopgraphic signatures to achieve confidentiality and authentication over SMTP ends up with the conclusion that you could of just used the OpenPGP protocol.

I think the reason we like to think that there is some new method available that will finally make things work is the hope there is a purely technological solution available. After 30 years of failing to come up with such a solution it is clear that there is no such solution possible in isolation.
Sodium and Chlorine are both pretty nasty.
If you want to host a game state object in memory (vs serialized and saved to SSD) because you have lots of frequent write/reads happening to that object in a very short window of time such that the IO cost and CPU cost (ser/deserialisation) is higher and the incremental latency is a blocker, then this design of hosting a full-blown object in memory within your runtime makes sense (number of reads per game object per second must be high and must be sustained for a good number of seconds for this tradeoff math to be in this design's favor, given today's SSD costs vs memory costs).

But I wonder if you will suffer from random GC pauses, inability to carefully isolate different behaviors into different resource clusters, resulting in uncontrolled blast radius etc.

If you are anyway doing persistence (because you care to not lose game progress), and whenever a cluster node dies you need to resurrect game state from persistence, I wonder if you will get the game state restored within a bounded latency.

If this happens frequently enough (to affect say 5% of your users – enough to kill your game experience), is the benefits of latency gain from in-memory object reads wiped out?

We had a very kid-friendly book of ancient Greek myths[0] as part of mandatory reading (actually one of the first books I've read) and it includes this story.

It's a great way of learning — basically a fairy tale compilation, but the fairy tales are worthy of learning about. Also, the reader learns much about the historical setting.

Would be amazing to write/popularize similar books on other cultures as well. Perhaps the Judge Di series[1] about an 18th century Chinese detective comes close to that.
