It's neither disgusting nor gusting. It's just that when you do this you also get that. If you want neither, that's fine, but clearly France is trying to also get some startups, but it's not going to work. Because France will eat you if you get big and the risk is too high to be worth it if you only get moderate.
How do you manage your job with so many days being out of commission?

I have noticed a drastic difference since catching COVID and fear the days of my youth being able to churn anything out on a whim is over
I moved ElastiCache & RDS instances over. A bit faster, a bit cheaper exactly as expected and no time required other than a “terraform apply”.
In competitive districts, politicians are far more dependent on campaign funding. Competitive elections are extremely expensive. So the group that gets ignored is just the group that has the least money to throw at candidates. It's the average person that always loses in that case. That's not fair either.

I would certainly prefer term limits, but if a population thinks their representative does a good job representing their needs - why shouldn't they get re-elected? Nobody is stopping them from having a competitive primary. Remember, AOC only got elected because her district was so non-competitive for republicans, that the establishment didn't bother channeling massive money into the primary for the incumbent. So this setup would actually make it easier for non-establishment candidates to sneak in, and even incentivize the other party to run a non-traditional candidate to compete (ie, like how dems used to win with blue dog democrats in rural areas).
> They've been counting any flu related illness as COVID

There are no flu related illnesses: the 2020-21 winter flu season has not happened.

Here are the results for the last 12 months of WHO's influenza monitoring (you may have to pick a country). They are conducting global testing at or above normal levels:

If you look closely enough at the x-axis, you might be able to see how much flu there is.

Ten most hilarious error messages in the history of software
Chip making is still advancing too fast for that. If the current processes are about the limit of physics, then eventually yes. Right now it is better to hope your country just does the next leapfrog of technology.
Lynx are extremely photogenic, but I can't help wondering - why? They're not endangered, they are aggressive predators, and Scotland's ecology isn't obviously in need of them. The fact that they were common half a millennium ago when the ecosystem was very different doesn't seem particularly relevant.

So if this is just for tourism and/or as a vanity project and there are no solid ecological or scientific reasons, I'm not seeing a convincing justification for this.
The thing that would improve my own personal trust in media is if there were fewer total garbage articles floating around in aggregate.

Lets do some compare and contrast from the US Section of my current Google News:

Good:

* Biden is boosting food benefits even more for the most vulnerable Americans. (Newsworthy governmental action)

* Tom Brokaw retiring from NBC News after 55 years with the network (About newsworthy people)

* Pennsylvania moves smokers to top of coronavirus vaccine list (Worthwhile state level event coverage)

Bad:

* New Instagram and Snapchat filters give Bernie Sanders meme new life (memes are rarely, if ever, newsworthy)

* Seth Meyers blasts Ted Cruz for his Pittsburgh comments on late-night show (People who talk about people are not actually newsworthy most of the time, especially not late night hosts)

* Joe Biden Removing Trump's 'Diet coke Button' from the Oval Office Prompts Wave of Jokes (Without clicking, I assume the article is 90% quotes from twitter, also the actual topic is really not newsworthy)

I guess the real answer is buy a subscription to a news org that you know actually writes primarily the good stuff, but aggregators are just so convenient, and people (myself included) are so damn cheap.
Now if only they'd put a tick next to episodes I've already watched on iPlayer and let me set the default sort order to series/episode rather than RANDOM() or whatever they do now it'd be great.

I love iPlayer, use it daily, but those two things are infuriating.
A Boy and His Atom: The Smallest Movie (2013)
Unpopular prediction: we're going to solve global warming by the 22nd century, but we're going to "solve" it with nuclear winter and the destruction of 80-90% of humanity. Once we're down to a billion people or so and most of what passes for advanced civilization has been destroyed, carbon emissions and warming won't be a problem.
How Do You Know That You Are Pregnant in the First Days

Pregnancy tests and ultrasounds are accurate ways to determine if you are pregnant, however, there are other signs that indicate the beginning of the pregnancy, which goes beyond a missed period.
Wow, I feel validated! Audi apparently agrees with me: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25873095
Agreed - since MacOS is even more of an entire eco-system, moving in and out of that is much more of a long-term commitment for most regular users.

People who are multi-platform in daily life, are much more likely to switch - and that's a rather small percentage of computer users (and of course very much over-represented here at HN).

> they have used that card too much

you can never have enough "magic" :-)
Answering my own question, Comdb2 was made available to the public on 1 January 2016, well after rqlite launched.
Please leave, we’d love it
I'm working on that right now. Hoping to have it up later tonight ;)
It feels like a millennium if you have the attention span of a goldfish.
I've found that this strategy doesn't work over time. My goal isn't, "make the best meal ever tonight", my goal is, "shop, cook, and clean every week in order to have a good home cooked meal every night". Those are two very different challenges, where the latter requires a more pragmatic approach to time and energy management.
Yes and no.

- Google used to support XMPP federation, and they pulled the plug on that years ago.

- Any new features introduced as part of Hangouts haven't been backported to XMPP, and so there may be random breakage when XMPP users talk to Hangouts users.
When you put the pedal to the floor, you're not trying for efficiency, you're trying for power.

Dropping to lower RPM for efficiency is what happens when you're done accelerating and ease up on the pedal. That's not what people complain about with CVTs. The complaints are about behavior and sound during acceleration, not after acceleration when you are merely cruising on low power output.
I think I see the problem.

'Simple majority' is based on the number of the machines that the leader knows about. You can only change the membership by issuing a write. Write quorum and leadership quorum are two different things, and if I've got it right, they can diverge after a partition.

I'm also thinking of double faults, because the point of Raft is to get past single fault tolerance.

[edit: shortened]

After a permanent fault (broken hardware) in a cluster of 5, the replacement quorum member can't vote for writes until it has caught up. It can vote for leaders, but it can't nominate itself. Catching up leaves a window for additional faults.

It's always 3/5 for writes and elections, the difference is that the ratio of original machines that have to confirm a write can go to 100% of survivors, instead of the 3/4 of reachable machines. Meaning network jitter and packet loss, slows down writes until it recovers, and an additional partition can block writes altogether, even with 3/5 surviving the partition.
Glib is OK except for the fact that it has a memory cache on top of that of malloc. This prevents tools like asan or valgrind from detecting memory related bugs. It caused my team a lot of grief, to the point that we regretted the choice of using glib in the first place.

I am not sure why there is a memory cache in the first place. Malloc may have been slow in the 90s, but these days there is no reason to cache and reuse allocations.

It’s also a major security risk, since it nullifies hardening measures from the standard library, as we have seen with openssl/heartbleed recently.
From what I remember from previous discussions,

1. It's more expensive than standard cattle feed so it would need a subsidy to incentivize its use (probably a worthwhile investment for the Biden administration if they're serious about climate policy) and

2. there are some hurdles to massively scaling up the growth of the algae to supply the massive US cattle population.
They've got scale now. I think that's the difference.
Thanks for all the kind words :)
Please also leave all other countries I do business with. :)
Lower commercial rents help real tech companies. It's hard for those guys to compete with VC funded parasites whose books never need to balance.
PR seems like the ultimate end goal. Especially for assemblies. Ideally, eliminating districts.

Because of path dependencies (the legal version of technical debt), we gotta start where we're at. So I support any and all reforms that move us in that direction.

I've long advocated approval voting for executive and single member districts. But since I support any move away from FPTP, I support my friends working on RCV. (Don't let perfection be the enemy of good enough.)

I'm newly curious about multimember districts. I don't really get the math (details) yet. I read that Illinois' state house had multimember districts and that it was more effective and less polarized today. And this reform might be an easier lift.

I'm also newly curious about unicameral legislatures. Especially at the state level. Meaning no upper houses aka senates. Or maybe giving the senates different responsibilities. Like the lower house controls the budget and appropriations whereas the upper house does more meta stuff like democratic and governmental reforms. I like the notion of a fast changing lower house and a slower changing upper house. One of the stated intents of the US Senate. But without a more clear division of labor (balance of powers), it hasn't seemed to work out.
"A total shutdown of the entire world economy"

GDP has barely taken a hit the world over. Trade is virtually unchanged. Hell, some indicators went positive though the pandemic.

I don't really think there was a "shutdown". Passenger car miles might have gone down, but I suspect deliveries and cargo went way up.
Real-world issues are not boolean variables.
That issue you describe, while intuitive and obvious to those of us who were around for the transition period is simple to arrive at. Keep in mind that youngsters nowadays may not have much if any experience with the before world or know someone reflective enough and willing to point it out to them. Many just assume we all mastered it somehow.

There is also the possibility, They might be right. Before, communication and the long access lag inherent in accessing data in remote systems meant change propagated by trickle. Now, change can happen and propagate across the world at breakneck speeds. Which means if one is to have an effect, one must be there/be aware.

This leaves precious little time for following the white rabbit. I think everybody could do with a little somber reflection on just the impact that rapid information propagation has had on the world.
Perhaps it is still true, but Apple is somehow becoming the budget option in that equation?
I didn't even know Pidgin had skins. The big attraction for me was that I didn't have to pick an obnoxious skin like Trillian. It just used whatever your system theme was, and the default GTK skin looked like it belonged in Windows XP.
As of around 2020H2 Google had nothing in the works for their own main CPU hardware. The ASIC engineers there are mostly focused on proprietary ML hardware like dragonfish, positron etc that have more comparative advantage to do in-house.
One of the advantages of systems like git is that you just need to clone and you have a complete copy of the original repository, you can synchronize with push/pull. No need to mess with backblaze and containers unless you want to back up your server configuration too. If you lose your server, just push your working copy on a new server. With enough people, losing data becomes almost impossible.

In fact you don't even need a server, just push/pull between your machines, a server just makes things more convenient.
My time is valuable. How much more of this do I have to read? That's the question scrollbars answer.
Just an anecdote, but I've always felt the webcams on macs I've used the past few years are worse than much cheaper Wintel PC webcams.

Could just be cognitive bias though, since everyone complains about mac webcams all the time.
An unopinionated ecosystem will soon become known a mistake in a similar vein as dynamic typing was.
Yeah, I'm not arguing that it isn't representative, I'm arguing that we shouldn't design for that outcome, because it shifts power in the direction of the party and away from the constituents (and it does so even in districts where the constituents are largely comfortable with the resulting representative).
I was told a lot of EE majors nowadays move to software as soon as they graduate.
ShowHN: Discover mobile apps that (illegally) use your code
Sorry, I didn't do a great job explaining what I meant. Really just comes down to having each link on the multi-link page listed with a number beside its title.

---
Typically[1] i'll put numbers inline[2] for each reference I make[3]. And then at the bottom of the comment just list them as so:

[1] www.typical.com

[2] www.inline.com

[3] www.make.com

---

But if I replace the listed references with a single link at the bottom of the page to your site:

References can be found here: https://multy.me/M9MU0A

Then it would be nice if the individual numbers (1,2,and 3) were obvious on that linked page beside each reference. But it's not a huge difference, it was just an initial thought when I first tried out your site. It's still useful even without numbered links, and I can't guess how many people would use them.
As far as Ct goes, 25-30 should do it. Even Fauci says >30-35 or so is dead fragments. Do you think everyone is doing 40?
Nope, the comment started with:

> Please avoid gitea. Gitea [...] is known for having accessibility issues, see [...]

Which is not the same as saying:

> Gitea [...] is known for having accessibility issues, see [...]

The first one offers a clear request of action combined with an explaining fact, while the ladder just shows the fact and leaves the action item up to the reader.
When I was 14 I discovered that my computer's CPU (a 186) had two on-chip programmable timers. One was used for DRAM refresh, so I used the other to get fine-grained timing so I could bit-bang the speaker output to get crude PWM sound.

Of course back then, people used to document the components they put in computers...
This is the most upvoted controversial, and in my eyes, trolling post i ever saw on HN. I'd at least expect a look-forward element, like "use Svelte" or whatever. But a simple and pure (and from my point of view totally wrong) flame just against React without mentioning any of the competing frameworks feels simply awkward.

One could substitute React with almost anything js-related, and the post would still incite flame.
Maybe it's a vital step to restoring the ecosystem back to closer to what it was half a millennium ago?
I wouldn't be surprised if those features actually drive engagement.

No, rqlite is not suitable for that kind of application. All writes must go through the leader.
Scrollbars are all about physicality. We are creatures fundamentally rooted in a physical world and we think in ways that are deeply connected to spatial properties of the things we interact with. Scrollbars reflect many of these properties in a natural way on a limited 2D plane (as demonstrated by all the other comments). Mouse wheels aren't able to replace that function in any way. It's not their purpose.
Yeah, this really resonates with me. I am starting to feel it's a burden, though, because I really feel that I have no life.

I can't do multiple things... either focus on studying and studying alone (and get above average grades).. but basically end up like I am now -- friendless, with boring hobbies and interests and very lonely. Or focus on things that fill my life, and catastrophically mess up my education. And for the discipline I want to work in, I really need good grades (but also good social skills).

I also want to add that despite studying nearly 24/7, and fully understanding every single concept (and much more!), I still manage to mess up in exams due to the lack of concentration (I.e. accidentally saw that plus as a minus, didn't see that term, etc. Dumb things like that). (I need time to hyperfocus, and the exam durations don't permit this)

I am still young, so this really worries me. I feel that I have basically wasted my teenage-hood, childhood, and now on the path of wasting my youth as well.
there was even a kind of "cloud computing": "time share computing"[0], since mainframe computers were financially our of reach for anyone but the very largest companies.

I am an Alan Watts fan. I think he would agree with you.
Most of the people I know have no interest in the current state of affairs. They are just coping because death is seen as even worse. However they are reaching the breaking point and getting ready to just give up and hope they are not one of the dead (or a long-hauler).

IF this is what it takes, then we will never get there. We need to do better. I don't know what better is, but it cannot mean travel restrictions and no ability to see friends.
There’s is a fine line though. They actually spent a lot time on building things. You could even argue they could have gotten there earlier in some cases. But in general I agree!
That doesn't really answer why it's called purple. As I recall, there used to be something about it being named for the PRogram PLugins (prpl) that (then) Gaim used.
In the Netherlands the base Golf starts at €27k. When you customise that to the trim you get stock on the id3 st/plus (st little less, plus more advanced extras) you get to €42382 (config code 8N1B7B) which is not that different from the €43k for the ST and €44k for the Plus.

I can imagine that the Golf being known tech will have a larger profit margin indeed. In the other hand, most of the extras in the id3 are shared technology anyways.
From what I see it's the dismissive way it was posed, with little curiosity about the real challenges. Similar to the 'oh I could build that in a weekend' style comments that are pretty exhausting for creators to have to deal with.
Who told the US to setup bases in the middle east? It's not your land, get fucked.
I thought it stopped due to exhausting the bar's stock, which conveniently was limited to only three drinks.
> "That's a completely unjustified comparison. iPhone brought a new way to interact with your phone."

People don't really remember, but a lot of people were really dismissive of the iPhone (and iPod) on launch. For the iPhone, the complaints were about cost, about lack of hardware keyboard, about fingerprints on the screen. People complained that it was less usable than existing phones for email, etc.

The M1 brings much better performance at much less power.

I think that's a big deal and is a massive lift for what applications can do. I also think x86 cannot compete now and things will only get a lot worse as Apple's chips get even better.
Most every incumbent tries to pull the ladder up after themselves. That's why it's so ridiculous to have electeds in charge of redistricting, reforms, oversight.

Even the appearance of a conflict of interest should be treated as a conflict of interest. No burden of proof required.
I don't understand how you took the idea that OP doesn't believe in truth from their post. Their point was that the "post-truth" framing implies that there was some golden age of rationality where we cared about truth and now we don't; but humans aren't exactly rational on their best days, so in some sense we've always been "post-truth".

No one is asking that you think that "alternative facts" are true; OP is just saying that there wasn't significantly more truth in the media/discussions in the commons 30 years ago (or whenever the fabled golden age of truth was supposed to have occurred).
Hell, I still don't have my damn order and I placed it in Oct. 2017. Their last post said early orders would be completed by EOY, but my last email to support they said another two months.

I want to be supportive but holy hell am I frustrated.
contradictions also exist in civil law systems (ofcourse). But seem to be far less... cloudy then common law systems.

Most contradictions in civil law seem to either be from really old law (think, pre french revolution/napoleonic period) or from weird edge cases which get covered by two laws which contradict themselves.

The first one is usually not resolved because it is just straight up ignored. There was a famous example of this a couple of years ago about a law which prohibited people from carrying swords/knives inside city walls.
Eh, good for AWS I guess, but I wouldn't trust them with anything critical. Too unreliable as a provider.
Yeah it's nothing. I'm at staff level, 15 years experience, and owned whole boards and projects from product requirements to final assembly and testing for at least five years. I don't know how they get people for that money unless it's some kind of shady situation where they are not actually living in the bay area.
Are you me? We had an (admittedly more complex) monolith application for customer contracts and billing. It wasn't ideal, and was getting long in the tooth (think Perl Catalyst and jQuery), so the powers that be wanted to build a new service. But instead of decomposing the monolith into a few more loosely integrated services, they went way overboard with 20+ microservices, every DB technology imagineable (Oracle RDBMS, Mongo, MariaDB), a full message bus via RabbitMQ, and some crazy AWS orchestration to manage it all.

What could've been an effort to split the existing service into manageable smaller services and rewrite components as needed turned into a multi-year ground-up effort. When I left they were no where near production ready, with significant technical debt and code rot from already years out of date libraries and practices.
I prefer to adapt the explanation for each thread. The main problem is that people is not too attached to the conservation of momentum, so each thread has a different excuse to explain why it is broken and why it doesn't break the current laws of Physics.

(For some reason people is not so happy with explanations that break the conservation of energy.)
You're looking at non EV specific designed cars. The Kia Soul is a conversion. Look into the Model 3, Model Y, VW ID3, VW ID4, Ford Mustang Mach E or the Chevy Bolt.
Being seen is consequence of working in a physical space, not the objective. Not unless you're a stripper. Phone meetings worked just fine for decades, video chat is pure narcissism.

If there were somebody deaf on my team then I suppose I would reconsider it, but there isn't, so spare me the moralizing.
> And lazy-loaded routings? Yes please.

All the React routers I know of support lazy-loading well.

I'd argue far better than Angular handles it. React components tree shake extremely well out of the box and I've rarely had to worry about bundle size when lazy-loading in React. Whereas Angular's dependency injection framework and its "modules", in addition to being irritating busy work as soon as you realize you can't trust the CLI's scaffolding, do nothing but get in the way of proper tree-shaking and good webpack chunks/bundles.
