Well, with the requisite glue code that would inform each user's Prometheus instance how to scrape the service instances -- yes, more or less.

If the only things you care about when you build systems are "works" and "direct impact on customers" then there's not really a point to this conversation. The things I'm speaking about, the architectural soundness of a distributed system, are largely orthogonal to those metrics, at least to the first derivative.
IPFS is built on torrent technology so it has those same proprieties. The advantage here is that IPFS additionally handles the front-end - the website, search and any future features that might be added like a blog or forum.
> Shouldn’t they have a paper-based/offline downtime procedure for this?

If they did, I would expect their employees to be out of practice with such methods since they weren't working that way day-to-day. Unless they're running regular "all computers are down"-drills to keep their employees sharp, downtime was probably inevitable.

I'll also add that poverty rate for female-householder families (usually divorce or no marriage) is more than more than twice as high as the national average.

Divorce is grueling.

> The official poverty rate declined 0.5 percentage points from 12.3% to 11.8% in 2018, the U.S. Census Bureau reported today... Poverty rates for all people in all female-householder families dropped by 1.7 percentage points, to 26.8%, the lowest rate for this group on record.

I feel like programming in a point-free style is the closest to writing prose that coding gets for me. A composition of named functions in sequence is essentially a functional sentence. The ability to effortlessly re-arrange the product on the page is what gives it the flavor -- written imperatively and in detail, that flavor is either lost, or diluted homeopathically amongst the much more verbose format.
I grew up going to four day a week schools because our school district was too poor to afford the fifth day.

I’d like to go back. For 80% of the pay? Hard to say. Honestly, my costs are a bit fixed. The problem I have is that even at the ~400k/yr I make, I don’t have enough still. I need closer to 500-600k to feel comfortable. Slice that down by 20% and it’s getting me back where I’m at (uncomfortable).

I think I’d have to move and live in an entirely different area where giving up 20% of my income would have no sizable effect on my life. (Including retirement and so forth)
I was thinking more about the soft targets and people based parts of the system, but you raise an interesting point. Zero trust systems might be solvable from a tech perspective, but zero trust organizations from a social perspective are a whole lot harder to design and enforce, maybe impossible.

In accounting systems, which are targets of fraud and malfeasance (e.g. Enron), there is a "4 eyes" principle. It takes at least 2 people to change something that impacts the financials. But that can't stop 2 people from colluding.

Back to the topic, if one agent or informant builds trust with one actor in the target group, and they collude or if one slip is made, it could be game over. Once the org is compromised, how do you know who to trust?
We really need to limit the reasons a person can be taken into custody. There are valid reasons, and we need to evaluate those reasons too. Too often, people just end up in custody (and then depriving the public of their usefulness).
Interesting. In my family it was always "I've had an _ample_ sufficiency."

Apple is not incentivized to promote your app given that their percentage cut of "free" is $0.

Why are you giving this app away for free? You know that various other indies like James Thompson are trying to SELL alternative calculators and you are undercutting them with no discernable benefit to yourself.

He doesn't deserve all bad things. But he specifically shouldn't be in a powerful position at Apple. Their firing of him was good (i agree with others that their hiring of him was bad).

People's ideas do matter. Ideally misogynists should not be in charge of women.
In my opinion, looking at the US anywhere in the previous 4 years, we already know the answer to that question.
There's no stock calculator app on iPad. That was the reason I made the app.
Welcome to the real world - being good at something or making something good is only half the battle. Marketing is the other half.

But note thats yours is not the only high quality free calculator out there, it may come across as harsh but I think you need to reevaluate the value / importance of your calculator and also keep this in mind for future projects.

I write this as somebody who has also written a completely free (with source code on GitHub) IOS calculator, currently with 10,000+ active users. It took some time to get the users, but it was a great learning experience regardless.

These days I write articles and do not get as much exposure as I would like, marketing is an issue in every aspect of life ;)

Glenn Vanderburg: Real Software Engineering (2010)
This is a great idea. Extending torrents.csv is a potentially solution but it requires meta data.

I thought calling programmers "engineers" was very odd until I saw this great talk:

Real Software Engineering by Glenn Vanderburg

Lone Star Ruby Conference 2010 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NP9AIUT9nos

Software engineering as it's taught in universities simply doesn't work. It doesn't produce software systems of high quality, and it doesn't produce them for low cost. Sometimes, even when practiced rigorously, it doesn't produce systems at all.

That's odd, because in every other field, the term "engineering" is reserved for methods that work.

What then, does real software engineering look like? How can we consistently deliver high-quality systems to our customers and employers in a timely fashion and for a reasonable cost? In this session, we'll discuss where software engineering went wrong, and build the case that disciplined Agile methods, far from being "anti-engineering" (as they are often described), actually represent the best of engineering principles applied to the task of software development.
They would have the young Steve Jobs fired. Wait. That already happened.

And what about Dr Dre and women?
The claim that the book is part fiction part truth, and these statements are part of the former isn't justification?

Having read the book, it doesn't read out of place at all. He makes similar disparaging remarks to other groups. He even calls developers & hackers animals in the title. This is the overall tone the book is written in, he doesn't single out women for a particular rant. I'm sure it seems that way when all you read is a short quote. The notion that this except is a clear indicator that Antonio will inevitably harass, discriminate, or otherwise do something that gives good cause to avoid employing him is a long stretch.

The real answer, were I Antonio's boss, is that I'd talk to him and see what his views really are. I'd ask around and see if he's treated women poorly.
Intermittent fasting seems to have a net positive effect, and the Mediterranean diet seems anti cancer - you live longer. A search will turn up multiple scholarly references.
My friend, you need to [1] travel, and [2] learn a tiny bit about investing.

First, you can live like a fucking KING for $2000/mo in southeast asia and most of central/south america. 24k/yr is 208 years. Bonus! The food is awesome, the people are great, the climate is ... nice most of the year, and the pollution is a little awful in the cities, but damn the beaches are gorgeous, and there are loads of them.

Second, ETF index funds for DJIA/NASDAQ/SP500, easily clear 5-7% per 5/yrs in BAD times; bluechip/bellweather stocks & municipal funds pay dividends that would easily clear that after taxes. Investing like a grown adult versus /r/stonks are two completely different things. I recommend you hire a CFPA (or RIA) for at least a few years as soon as you can afford it, bonus if you can do it in your 20's, it will at least set you on the right track.

Of course, once you get old and medical conditions bankrupt you that's a problem. But then you swan dive off of Machu Picchu and go out in style!!
We use plenty of cloud stuff, I guess that wasn't clear from my initial comment. We use Office 365 & teams for our 'business' teams, Slack for tech teams & Monday.com for our 'Jira'. The business has evolved from on prem exchange so its natural a trust in MS is embedded.

I wanted notion to get out of document hell. Legacy business with many spreadsheets and word documents. With notion it wasn't the cloud being the issue, we run all in house software & DBs in AWS.

But some startup from San Fransisco offering a platform with notable downtime / performance issues and no direct ownership of DBs was an issue for something like a wiki where you want to be able to publish sensitive information, ip etc. We're in a regulated industry so compliance & security input is ultra relevant.

Sharepoint is a fucking abomination, it's what was previously used. Notion makes a perfect wiki solution.

If it had a self hosted option we'd have adopted it. It was turned down, and fairly so, by our ops team for the hosting situation. There's no reason for something as *simple* as a wiki should be completely outsourced. Portability is a factor too.

We chose wikiJS in the end. Great wiki but terrible writing experience. Tend to write everything in an external markdown editor and just copy it in.
I'm sorry but at this point it's just a sign-up page, which goes against what a Show HN is.

I can't demo your product, but it might be best to come back when we can.
> Enough people at Apple said, "No thanks. I can be happier working with other people on other things."

That sounds so cool and casual. Not at all like

> “Given Mr. García Martínez’s history of publishing overtly racist and sexist remarks, we are concerned that his presence at Apple will contribute to an unsafe working environment for our colleagues who are at risk of public harassment and private bullying.”
As well as content that "incites bigotry, hatred, or racism." There goes social media, I guess
But even the equalizer in Winamp works!
People who make shitty public statements mocking large social groups (in this case women) probably shouldn't be surprised if (more than just) members of those social groups don't really want to work with them. Or that others who don't share those views don't want to be publicly associated with them.

In particular, he made a bunch of statements which would make me concerned about him being in any sort of managerial role over women. He doesn't seem to have tried to walk them back or show some sort of change of heart (or "c'mon guys, it was all just a bit"), so I think his almost-coworkers had a point when they started that petition against him.

A Press Corps Deceived, and the Gaza Invasion That Wasn’t
Honestly I’d say any highly asymmetric violent or offensive action would lend many folks to trot out the T word.
Way to many people loudly whining about "safe spaces" tend to have a problem with tolerance too as soon as it comes to groups they don't like. (E.g. to take the dude here, are the reports about him harassing women that argue for being childless an example of them not "tolerating things they don't agree with" (they could just tolerate the harassment I suppose), or of him not "tolerating things he doesn't agree with"?) Which is why I describe the "before" as also a kind of "safe spaces", change just shifts who gets pushed out of them. (Still sucks for the one that gets the short end of the stick of course, but that's also not a new thing)
I see latency spike like this often on T-Mobile LTE. One second your under 40ms ping, then your next ping clocks in at 794ms or 2100ms despite having good signal strength.
I keep forgetting that but the core value prop of "here is one" is valid only if there are no other calculators instead of yours.

You'll need to do more than that. It's not a conspiracy against your or there's no some shady unfair stuff going on. You'll need to make great product(which you say you did) AND get it into the hands of those who would care about your product(which is called marketing).

You know what I do when I need a calculator? Type it into Spotlight. So I am not your market but I am sure there are people who need a proper calculator and you will need to find ways to make them aware of the existence of your app.

Well, partly because the author begins with:

You cite RFC 8478 as though it being an RFC gives it weight, but always remember when looking at IETF RFCs to check the Category, which is Informational in this case, not Standards Track.

> Despite use of the word "standard" as part of its name, readers are advised that this document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is being published for informational purposes only.

This is an IETF-stream document, which I believe (though I’m not certain) implies that it’s at least a little more than just Facebook saying “here, can we publish this?”, but it hasn’t come through any working group, so it hasn’t been subject to the full IETF experience which is so helpful at improving things by collaboration.

(It’s also obsoleted by RFC 8878, to which the same caveats apply.)
>you are undercutting them with no discernable benefit to yourself.

GP does have a discernable benefit. It's just not discernable to us because it is not monetary.
Why do we even have gun buy back programs in America where guns are legal? It's a stupid concept and this paper confirms this.
however the idea seems sound? I can't help wondering why Google who can fund GP-3, couldn't come up with a better initial dictionary? especially for small responses it is a big win
Because they could be correct? Why should you reject it out of hand?
I’m one of those users! When I got an iPad a year ago, I couldn’t believe a) there wasn’t a calculator app on it, and b) there were no calculator apps I could trust except yours. So disappointing coming from a Linux and open source background, so at least one person is hugely grateful for devs like you - thank you. :-)
The problem with someone being a dick is when you're hiring them for a role with any sort of authority, particularly if their dickishness is in any way directed at specific groups.

I think there's a fairly reasonable concern that if he was in any sort of role with authority he couldn't be trusted to fairly deal with women.

Sure, lots of people have biases and are probably unfair. But this one wrote a NYT bestselling book where he loudly talked about his biases, and doesn't seem to have become contrite. HR complaints were very much guaranteed once this became known.
I think you just defined yelling at someone over money to be terrorism.

You can make a reasonable argument that "nothing is apolitical" but but that's not the definition of political being used when people say what terrorism is.
Thanks pretty usable
Realise that every single person on this planet will be wrong more often than not. And that true personal growth is enabled by learning from being wrong. Also realise that not recognising being wrong is dangerous. People have literally died because of experts refusing to admit that they are wrong.

Deploying a Scalable End to End Customer Churn Prediction Solution with AWS
Governments are faillible. Corruption and organized crime exists.

Vietnam has a complicated relationship with the US. Don't trust western media too much on it, there is quite a bit of propaganda and extrapolation from conflict with China that doesn't carry over. Relations with the US appear to thaw but this is mainly limited to trade. Strategically Vietnam is solidly allied with Russia and otherwise independent. There is no scenario in which Vietnam extradites to America or allows American intelligence to operate on their soil.

The same is with China. There is zero political cost, they will simply ignore the hackers until they leave the country. US intelligence is quite weak in terms of real assets in China, so uncertainty would be very high.
Let's be clear here, this isn't some minor technical book - his autobiography was on the New York Times best-seller list for business books and was reviewed in the paper.
I don’t the root comment has a problem, I think different people relate to other people differently. For some (maybe a lot) of people there is no substitute for breathing the same air as someone else.

Reasons some languages are harder to learn
a simple fish-eye view as you hover over tabs would be fantastic...
Dumb question: the lengthener prepends the URL with "\x20\x0b" strings which are then not removed on the other end. So the link inserted in the <meta> redirect ends up looking like

" \x0b \x0b \x0bhttps://www.example.org"

But this apparently works! Why does it work?
Just a description of your philosophy and how it and the language have evolved would be interesting, along with some sample code (and sample output), regardless of whether you eventually release it.
As far as I am aware Linux hasn’t even started to work on the problem:

This story back in February reported 'Single Pfizer shot 90 percent effective after 21 days' and that 'vaccine effectiveness was still pretty much zero until about 14 days after people were vaccinated. But then after day 14 immunity rose gradually day by day to about 90 percent at day 21....' [https://medicalxpress.com/news/2021-02-pfizer-shot-percent-e...]

This looks to fit in with that trend ... after 14 days, slowly growing immunity.

I would also like to be able to bookmark a page along with saving its contents entirely as a snapshot (the text of the page, a screenshot of the page, a PDF of the page, or all of the above) in some standard format. That way I can do a full-text search through my past tabs or bookmarks to find what I am looking for, and look at it again, even if the site is presently inaccessible. Is there anything that does that? Or any software that can automatically do that for all the bookmarks I've accumulated (especially those behind logins)?

That's fair, I'll come back with something to show :)
I think you got unfairly roasted on just saying how YOU feel about remote work and your coworkers. I’d like to remind some people that a job is sometimes just a job, and you don’t even have to like your coworkers, yet have a personal relationship with them. OP just said he don’t want do anything extra for them and I think that’s fair, as long as he don’t expect them to help him out.
Personally I'm more excited to strap on wings and flap around high pressure low grav domes.

Yes, I was paraphrasing. But my point still stands.

Mr. Garcia Martinez did publish those remarks. I don't know that I would use the word "unsafe", but definitely uncomfortable and less meritocratic if people can go around saying things like that with no consequences.

When leaders make that behavior ok, it gives a pass for others to behave that way as well, and creates a terrible work environment.

We can argue about whether "unsafe" is the ideal word choice. But I don't think it changes that Apple has every reason to fire him if their employees don't want to be led by him.
