Millions of transactions per second is not the point of using docker.

Docker is about running multiple things on the same server. If you have 1 server and you have to run 1 app on it, you don't need a Docker container.

Now if you have physical server and you want to use it fully you want to run ALL kinds of apps on it. What is hard is that running multiple apps, you run into issues with dependencies. Ideally you run each app on different server or separate OS then you don't have that problem, but that is costly and if one app sits idle you waste money you spent on the server.

I don't know why people think about it the other way that you get 1 app and run it distributed is "peak containers". Peak containers is about having common infra so you make the most of your server because you don't care what app is running in there, your server does not need to have any special config for your special app. You don't get bogged down that you cannot install anything else on that server because of dependency hell.

Well from the application point of view bonus is that if you dockerize your app you don't care about the servers it is running on. You just ship it and it will run on someones server with other apps that you don't know about and don't care about and their dependencies will not break your app.
Lol no.

The only thing this means is that type checking a Rust program might never terminate.

Nothing more, nothing less.

It might take 10 seconds, it might take 10 days, it might take till the universe freezes.

In practice, the compiler - like pretty much every single compiler with a Turing complete type system - has a recursion limit, that rejects programs that accidentally take too long to type check, but users can increase this limit by adding a source annotation (that's suggested by the compiler).

This is completely orthogonal to whether the programs are valid or not.

If your program is invalid, the compiler will never accept it, no matter how much compute time you throw at it.

Type checking always terminates for valid Rust programs (by definition), so if you throw enough compute at any valid Rust program, the compiler will eventually accept it.
That’s about the iPhone 12, which they say is better than previous models (https://www.apple.com/iphone-12/specs/ says (in a footnote) “iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini are splash, water, and dust resistant and were tested under controlled laboratory conditions with a rating of IP68 under IEC standard 60529 (maximum depth of 6 meters up to 30 minutes). Splash, water, and dust resistance are not permanent conditions and resistance might decrease as a result of normal wear. Do not attempt to charge a wet iPhone; refer to the user guide for cleaning and drying instructions. Liquid damage not covered under warranty.”

The Italian fine is about iPhone ≤ 11, about which they (¿now?) have a similar footnote at https://www.apple.com/iphone-11/specs/

Yes, a great thing to do for a dsl that you write in your real language. Not something that a real language should have.
I honestly prefer teaching people to fish over providing them shortcuts. Giving them the answer doesn't often help in my experience. Helping them frame the question better does. There are some cases where the person is lacking fundamental knowledge about the domain or technology, of course.

Ultimately, team productivity isn't about enabling people in the codependent sense. It's better to build them up than to merely support them.
Right at the beginning of the study it is stated why that is no alternative: The seasonal production/consumption patterns could lead to "excess PV production in summer on a local, national or even international scale".

As Sahara PV is still on the northern hemisphere this would not solve the problem the study tries to tackle.
Hang yourself, retard!
Hi, author here, thanks for your comments! I definitely understand that the alternatives seem to be better but in my case, as stated in the post, we are dealing with a very old design (that I didn't make by the way) where the two main solutions discussed here (invert, darkmode.js) don't work at all.

I'm not going to post screenshots but after a few tests, it just changes some elements but the overall design still needs to be redone, as dark, because many elements are "ignored" and not treated.

The only solution I see, as some of you wrote, would be to redone the design and make use of CSS variables. That will drastically reduce the amount of work to do to achieve a dark theme and the number of generated lines will be very small. I need to dig into this direction!
Thank you. Anyway the price is dirt cheap so this has a good chance to catch on. Good luck again.
The Y Combinator Experience – Remote Edition
My wife uses Cricut extensively for crafting. It sits right next to my 3D printer in the garage so I’ve gotten to witness her fighting with Design Space —the garbage electron App used for sending designs to the Cricut — first hand. The whole thing is rife with dark patterns and it will occasionally just stop working when it can’t connect to the internet. I would love any HN recommendations for a FOSS alternative that lets her cut her own SVGs without the bloat, especially with this latest BS from Cricut.

EDIT: This [0] Hackaday article on the situation mirrors my sentiments. In the maker/tinker/3D print space, there are tons of great resources for free STLs, custom firmware and mods. Shortly after I first bought her the Cricut she asked me if there was a limit or a trial on free prints because an SVG she’d made in photoshop now showed a $PRICE when she clicked print. I suspected something similar to what they’re now implementing, and was ready to be angry, but realized it was just one of their dark patterns- Design Space only has a couple free fonts (in addition to whatever comes with the OS). If you use a “Cricut” font on accident anywhere on your project, DS shows you a $PRICE when you attempt to print. No explanation that the price is because you used a paid font. She’s since learned how to add new OS fonts and avoid the paid ones (which can’t be hidden/filtered/turned off).

I love that that my wife has found a creative outlet with solid and approachable hardware. I HATE just about everything else about Cricut, especially the ransomware that is Cricut Design Space.

Diffusion of responsibility; the takedown firm takes a lot of the bad PR and legal liability when wrong. Adobe also shields their brand by not insourcing.
Devops is a practice not a role. Essentially it’s bringing good software engineering practice to operations and eliminating the silos. In practice, though, this does usually mean programmers fannying around with docker.
Some organisations just rebranded the ops team to the devops team, but that’s kinda missing the point.
Yes but Stackoverflow is a now mostly a graveyard of old closed questions, easily cached, I am only half joking.
Most startup ideas today are a lot more interactive, so a SO model with two DBs would probably not serve them well. Horizontal scaling is not only for ETL and I am uncertain in why you say that it needs many lawyers.

Same here (Denmark with Hi3G), but they often forget. I've had a new SIM issued for myself just by saying the phone number.

Of course that's several orders of magnitudes harder to do than just finding a leaked password somewhere, so it's still nice to have SMS as 2FA compared to nothing. It'll stop the mass bots.
In principle automation is always a good thing.

Think of a society where there is a collective bank account and everyone shares their wealth. There are 100 people and there is 800 hours of work to be done. 100 hours of work in fast food. If you automate fast food then only 700 hours of work have to be done for an economy of the same size.

The real problem is fairness. Now that there is enough work for 88 people it would be unfair for the working people if those 12 people simply get to stop working. The remaining working members would go on strike. So we expect those 12 unemployed people to work regardless of whether there is enough work for everyone.

Globalization is another productivity booster that has the same effect.

The answer is to give people work, even if the work has to be created through artificial means. Infrastructure is a common example. You can just let these unemployed people build roads or houses and lay fiber for internet and so on. Infrastructure doesn't discriminate and tends to benefit everyone so ultimately even those who didn't lose their job will benefit. If that infrastructure results in a greater tax income in the future you can even finance it through debt.

Truthfully, the only "distro" that comes close to solving these problems is Yocto, which is really a distro-builder for embedded devices. Yocto & Mender work pretty nice. You could probably get Mender working with Ubuntu Core.

That's actually 90% of the solution these days: Use Mender. It wasn't around when I did this, but we likely would've used it, as we built essentially the same thing.

The other 90% is quality control. Distros can't really solve that for you.

> To be fair, to qualify as a solved problem in the industry one would expect either a standard, possibly community-supported, software implementation of the important parts, or at least documentation such that others could read up, learn about your wins, and apply them consistently to their projects, or both.

These are solved problems. Mender exists and documents almost everything I mentioned. Google has published incredibly thorough technical documents describing how Chromecasts and Chromebooks update, and at least the latter solution is Open Source.

If you look, you'd see these problems are not novel, which is why I declared it "not a hard problem space." The prior art is tremendous.

Oil/gasoline/diesel exert a long term pernicious effect - a cost. Making that cost head home to the source will act as a disincentive to use. In a similar manner, rewards for e-vehicles are warranted.
I probably hate it for different reasons from others on HN, but I move countries (and change numbers) and travel a lot, and SMS just isn't a reliable way to reach me. On top of that, attempting to log in to a website from a foreign country is often itself a trigger for 2FA, and exactly the moment when I'm not reachable by SMS.

This has bitten me a few times, sometimes in desperate situations. Like when I've needed to log in to Airbnb to message a host, transfer some cash from my bank account, access my frequent flyer account, etc. Far too many sites don't provide 2FA over email, or through an app like Google Authenticator - they can only do it over SMS.

Yeah, I know I could set up roaming. But it's an easy thing to forget, since I change phone numbers every couple of years (for both personal and work phones). And it's not always cheap.

It's also just a huge pain to have to go through and change every account I have, any time I change numbers. A lot of accounts that I only use occasionally are configured with one of my many old phone numbers, which don't work anymore. This usually involves a call to tech support to fix it.
Yeah they would be much better off importing a few npm packages for that, and setting up some CI to build this with webpack and deploy to serverless /s

Nothing wrong with the code per se - a little formatting and nicer variable names would make it entirely readable. Having the entire logic inline might be intentional so you can cross-check (legal) requirements and avoid transitive dependencies - the handling of dates specified might not necessarily match what’s “technically correct” at all times. Anyone writing Go will be familiar with this style.
The "able to pay" part will resolve itself if you manage to start a sufficiently successful startup. Eventually through high enough profits, since the startups that turn into global leaders in their field are more profitable per employee than anything a local non-tech company can compete with.

Getting to that point is a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem, though. And firing policies is a political barrier that's hard to avoid. I suppose you could keep everyone on as contractors, paying them standard rates but going to them directly, not through an agency. That would land the salaries in the region suggested, and you'd still have the ability to fire without cause.

How exactly will staying at home "for a few more months" stop a virus mutating forever? It's not that bad, we have to live with it. Viruses mutate all the time.

I'm not sure what your point is with the apparent difficulty of understanding the risks of a new vaccine. Are you saying "it's hard, so just trust what the authorities tell you"?
to be fair issues/petitioned amendments are very much money pays. It's pretty expensive to get signatures to get on ballot. Lots of states have rules like getting _% in each local HD or whatever.

And then the money spent on persuasion.

Uber recently in CA comes to mind.

Kind of beautiful in its blunt honesty; a legal method for corporations having a good chance of changing the law specifically how they want without having to deal with those pesky lawmakers.

Of course citizens can do it too! We got decriminalized mushrooms here in denver because of it!
The only people who think that solar in a desert is a good idea are the people who have never had to clean a solar panel in a desert: https://www.thenationalnews.com/uae/science/dust-can-dramati...
People can do both. It really just comes down to: are the solar panels worth the added manufacturing cost and weight? If it cost ten dollars and added one pound of weight almost everyone would want it. If it cost ten thousand dollars and added a hundred pounds of weight then few people would want it.

The unknowns at this point are: what are people willing to pay and how much additional weight will they tolerate? And, how light and cheap can these panels be made with the technology available now? And whatever these numbers are now, they may change as public opinion, the price of energy, and technology change. It may be too early for this to be a viable product, or maybe not. It's good to see someone is trying it at least.

Also: a solar carport might be technically easier to make, but it will require building permits and probably hiring an electrician and manual labor assembling the structure and so on. And some people don't own the land they park their car on, and many people drive to work and park their car in a lot that either doesn't have solar roofs over the cars or the ones that do use that power to cut down on the company's power bills.

I think is because of Apple iMessage, since a lot of Americans gave iPhone and they use iMessage, which sends SMS when the phone on the other end is not an iPhone.
I am obsessive about backwards compatibility, and I test back to Netscape 2.0 (the first JS platform). The magic of JS feature check abilities is that you can totally cover every browser.

There's a little bit of testing you have to do, because early browser wars resulted in intentionally added incompatibility gotchas, but it's not that bad.

The Web is an amazing and unique platform unlike almost any other available to us. We're so lucky to have it.
Given how old it is, it is pretty good. Maybe better than 80% of what else is out there.

Luckily today we have build tools to prevent us showing our dirty laundry in public.

Ask HN: Do I need DevOps when I start a startup?
Last I checked the common approach would be the following:

- create a MVP, that can be a monolith without any automation

- you need only developers to create the product

- you can worry about scaling, automation, devops, securty when you are THERE.

Has that change? Would you invest in the infrastructure at the initial phase now?
Where is that point where it makes sense to worry about these things?
When you rent you usually do it via a Makler (real estate agent), who is going to ask for 2 months of rent as his/her fee. This is not the deposit, which is usually 3 months, and not the first month rent, this money is gone forever. So people tend to rent on the longer term, 5-10 years easily, because you have to have about 6 months of rent in cash available just to start.

Which sucks if you find a job somewhere else, or just choose badly and it turns out the neighbours are loud, or the house is a sh*tty concrete building with paper walls built in the 50s...

If you are very lucky or have connections, you can rent privately, and then you don't have to pay the Makler. But the number of apartments available like this is very low, I'd say <10%.

I moved here from the UK, and while the UK (especially London) has its problems, I would choose that system _any time_ over what's here in Vienna.

To add insult to injury, the housing prices are sky-high, almost as bad as in London, while the salaries are much lower. So buying an apartment is not really an option unless you can sell another one, or get some support from family.

On the other hand, my wife lost her job, and for the first 5 months or so she gets more than 50% of her salary as Arbeitslosengeld. So that offsets the extremely high taxes a bit.
I don't really got great experience with mushrooms. Every time I took them, I just... have a hole in memory. I have no idea what I do or did, and suddenly it's 2 hours later and my head hurts. (And it got repeated multiple times when I tried them, so I stopped trying.)

So, it's not a bad experience, but not a great experience either.

LSD got similar feeling to me that you describe. Maybe more colorful and time warping, I don't know.

It's still drug induced state though. You don't see profound reality. You see what the drug is making you see. IMO, better to focus on the reality in front of you rather than something that is effectively a hallucination. Just my opinion though.
Decreased demand would tend to result in reduced prices, not increased prices.

What you have sounds great, and sounds about the same as running containers with orchestration, just via SystemD cgroups instead of container cgroups, and bash and humans instead of a real orchestrator. You lose a lot of features ( idempotent and self-contained ( so zero risk of dependency clashing), cluster-wide auto-healing, load distribution and autoscaling, centralised management) and ease of use of existing solutions ( want to run a CockroachDB cluster? There's probably a k8s operator for that; want automatic DNS? Consul from Nomad, k8s already do that), but you understand it. There could be very serious downsides around maintenance of your bash scripts, and onboarding new people.

There is no car rental in my parents village and the bus only comes a few times a day. Car sharing works great in bigger cities but is not even an option outside those. I use one in Berlin and have never owned a car actually.

Perfect for people like my mother would be a self driving car that you can summon to your door in a few minutes. But even calling a taxi takes half an hour+. So it would have to be faster than that.

Your comments continue to confuse me. I wrote that text because I'm befuddled by these weird assumptions you're reading into my post and I wanted to explain where I was coming from.

It's besides the point of the discussion, but I overwhelmingly support the Palestinians in the Israel-Palestine conflict and agree with your comments on the matter. Of course I sympathize with people struggling in desperation. I don't think it's offensive, or a stereotype, or untrue, to say that many of them are more okay with dying because they believe death isn't permanent and that the afterlife will be a positive experience. I think that's just a fact which carries no value judgment.

Of course, I understand that even if they thought death were permanent, they still may brazenly risk death to fight for their cause, but my point was that the belief that it isn't permanent even further increases that determination to face death.

This is just a thread about AI, not about politics, which is why I made it about AI.

Yes, because there is absolutely nothing wrong to have your infrastructure and economy exclusively depend on a politically unstable region.
