From personal experience, any cheap vps that can serve static pages will stand the front of HN.

The blogs that go down here typically back every request by MySQL (ahem, WordPress) which is totally unnecessary and often actively harmful since MySQL has very low default total connections allowed.

The point being: don't serve requests backed by a database unless the results are likely to change very dynamically!
Over a few years I switched from Ubuntu + i3 to Regolith to Pop_OS, and each switch felt like a step up in terms of "it just works", like it's a higher level WM.

Regolith, even though it comes with in much saner defaults and basic system tools than plain i3, still requires you to deal with low-level config files for many common things.

Pop just feels like Ubuntu with tiling window management added, which isn't a bad thing. Thing just work even more often and there's some intangible eye candy feeling to using it which is nice.

It's definitely not as robust in my experience; there's bugs I run into pretty often (lock screen will sometimes hang, dragging a tiled window to a new position will sometimes fail to update other tiled windows so you have overlapping windows or unused space).

Still, overall it's a pleasant experience and these things don't bother me as much as having to figure out why my wifi or audio devices aren't working every other week. I'm on Pop_OS 20.04 for the LTS, so maybe these have been fixed in more recent versions.

Thanks for sharing these links! I was looking for an analysis of B-Core from Broad and I finally found one.

Although I don't quite understand why they initially excited about B-Core but later call it poorly thought out. Is it because of the cost of stainless steel?
I would suggest to install Debian, it's very light and stable disto. Also, you won't need a VM software for Docker.

For IDE, use VIM or VS code
You asserted that key policies will not change. Policy entails a course of action, specifying how aims are achieved. So it isn't a matter of the existence of the 9 dash or 11 dash line, but the route that they would go in pursuing it.

I also don't buy the assertion that China's rise as a superpower is somehow more profound than other countries (such as Japan). That just smacks of neo-orientalist sinicism. China's development is modelled on the same export model as Japan's and South Korea's. The difference being whether other advanced economies are willing to absorb and support that model for the remainder of the time that China needs to pivot before succumbing to the middle income trap.

And to your last point, China's GINI coefficient bottomed out in 2015. It has since been rising.
I am just in the middle of the book but so far I also have mixed feelings:

+ thoughts on complexity and how constant addition of new features adds to complexity
+ deep vs. shallow modules but at the same time...

- "..classitis": author criticizes the use of many small classes and functions/methods while I think form my experience SOLID principles are there for a reason- every method/class should have one purpose only.

- which leads me straight to my second point of critique so far: nomenclature. for several ideas exist established names already that are not used in the book.
I'm confused.

The code you have on one of the quiz questions is:

----------------

a = 1
b = 2
c = 3

def calculator(a,b,c):
b = a - c
a = 2
return a+b

x = calculator(c,b,a)
print(x)

----------------

This returns 4. But the only options you have are:

A. no output
B. 0
C. 3
>For Windows, you'll definitely need a reinstall.

There is this base assumption that UEFI=GPT and that BIOS=MBR which is only partially true (at least for windows 7/8/8.1/10).

In fact the UEFI is perfectly capable of booting from both GPT and MBR disks, the issue is only that when you install an OS in CSM (or BIOS) on a MBR disk, the OS loader/boot manager installed will be the one needed for BIOS booting, and the UEFI one won't be installed.

Besides there is the requisite of having a FAT32 (this can usually be worked around with a UEFI NTFS driver).

But a "normal" BIOS install on MBR (with a dedicated, without drive letter automatically assigned, FAT32 primary partition dedicated to the boot files) can be booted just fine in UEFI by simply adding to that partition the needed UEFI loaders.

The opposite (booting with BIOS from a GPT disk) is as well possible but needs some non-standard modifications/hacks to the disk MBR, that - although proved in the years to be "safe" remain a sort of hack (not recommended if not really-really needed).
There's a known bug in Debian-derived distributions where the kernel-loaded drivers and modules are not set up to handle backlight changes on some hardware. IIRC, it's something to do with PWM drivers not being loaded correctly in early boot. Try Fedora or CentOS instead, if that works without issue you might well be hitting that bug.
There are many states where minimum wage for workers is above the federal $2.13 (actually, a bit more than half): https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/state/minimum-wage/tipped

This whole $2 thing is bullshit that’s carried forward if you’re the average HN reader in a coastal city. My friends who are waiters across a spectrum of restaurants (in a coastal city) probably make $50-60 an hour, and double that at the higher end places, for a job that yes, can be exhausting (but not exceptionally more so than many other low-skill jobs), and requires no specific training or degree.
It is quite proudly a Republic with Democratic characteristics.

The only democracy is Switzerland. Switzerland solves the problem of populist tyrannical capture by having an Executive Council instead of a President.

More recently, I’ve come to the conclusion that all Republics are doomed to fail.

One should never let an “expert” make a decision for you. They will over time deceive you because they will always be a likely scapegoat.

It is much better to get it wrong yourself because then you can face the truth instead of constantly being on the watch for a scapegoat and damaging the dynamics of decision making.
There are lots of great suggestions here in this repo however playing the Devil's advocate here, I feel that's really low effort one list (sorry for being this harsh).

Maybe we can create a repository where people's vote and comment why they recommend a book. Does GitHub have a way to vote stuff?!

What you people think about it?!
Even with current materials pricing? I live in a new development and the price went from $180/sqft to $300/sqft for the lowest end builds. We were all set to build our 'forever house' but we'd either spend 50% more or have to build a much smaller house, so we're just going to wait for a bit.
I've not seen in any news reports, nor does this BBC article mention, if the deterioration noted by the previous engineering reports were actually in the part of the building which collapsed or not. If anyone can point to a diagram or other notation in the media which shows a correlation between where the building collapsed and where the engineer(s?) noted the issues were, I'm interested in seeing that.

I understand that failures in one part of a structure may cause a catastrophic failure in a separate, seemingly far away, part of the structure. But it feels like if the engineer(s?) reported that things needed to be fixed quite soon and then that part of the building is what failed that the media would have pointed this out by now.
It looks like the delivery crane does the unboxing, so I would presume the delivery would be done by some one licensed to move it. I think this is also not considered mobile.

Not sure how you would even have this as a "take out" option.
> Can a modern building fail so spectacularly through incremental damage if it wasn't only borderline sound to start with?

Interesting question where I assume yes. No matter how well something is built, without proper maintenance it will eventually fail.
My more recent visits to France my problem was rather that people would switch to English too fast for me to get to practice much French.

Very noticeable change vs the first time I visited in the early 90's.
It's a shame you weren't able to finish the PhD without doing presentations. I think, depending on having an understanding prof, it should be possible.

A point in life comes where you have spend enough time being a generalist, trying to brush up on your weaknesses. Time to enjoy and sharpen your strong points. The only negative here are your feelings towards yourself. Why not embrace yourself as you are, and role with it. If anything, your life will be more enjoyable and who knows you may once realize you worried for nothing when you drop the worrying about the worrying.

Easier said than done of course ;)

You have just become lucky because you stumbled upon the article and can act on it. So it is not necessary to mention luck, because the readership of the article is already selected for luck.

The article also mentions the necessity of talent.

It also doesn't say everybody can become a billionaire by simply working hard.

Also even if you are born in Africa with no access to schools (or in some US ghetto were everything is sooo horrible), you can probably set yourself apart from your peers.
I got the same laptop back in 2016 from a friend and I can't say that I agree. It's unbearably slow. I ran Ubuntu and a CLI most of the time with a browser and that was the absolute max you could do with it before locking totally up.

A decade is a really long time for a laptop of you plan on run anything modern on it. I assume you'll have to because id you're developing with older Java versions and SDKs you're just leaving youeswlf open for a world of hurt.
It amazes how much raw ingenuity goes into scams and hustles.
More important that what you are mentioning is the fact that a ban does nothing. Is actually the opposite of doing, it's the prevention a certain type of action.

OK, you are going to ban the use of fuel-powered cars, where is your alternative? What did you exactly do with the ban? Did you create a different massively feasible type of personal transportation?

This kind of actions make me sick. They provide nothing, they accomplish nothing, they just pretend that they can waterboard creativity out of people.
yeah, except that Oracle and google have way more lawyer power than furries artists.
Timing is everything, being early is the same as being wrong.
There’s a big difference between spec houses and custom houses. I’m building a custom home in King County, WA right now, and it’s almost impossible to build under $300/sqft. And no, doesn’t include cost of land or land preparation costs.
This seems slightly bizarre -- sorry for /s but if you have engineers who are familiar with {language} rather than Node then they'll probably generate more sales for your company building an application in {language} than they would building in in Node. The pitfalls would be that it'll be slower to get an application in {language} to production if the engineers know how program Node but not {language}.
According to https://livingwage.mit.edu/states/48/locations (based on https://livingwage.mit.edu/resources/Living-Wage-Users-Guide...), $1MM invested (excluding equity in a primary residence) would certainly be enough in many areas, especially the midwest and southeast.

On $1MM, one can almost certainly safely take out $35k/year (after taxes on any gains) and still grow the portfolio (so as to offset inflation). That's definitely sufficient to support the barest minimum of "lower middle class" living expenses. Without kids. Add a kid and it blows right up.

But, yes, to support an upper middle class style of living one would certainly need more.
I think the point is that large scale organizations have a certain amount of incompetence within them.

Real conspiracies are made to work around that incompetence, either by compartmentalizing and limiting the internal flow of information (intelligence agencies), by being decentralized and resilient to people messing up (eg class warfare still happens even if upper-class people don't all work to further the interests of the upper class), or by not being a conspiracy in the first place (eg if two rich people meet to discuss mutually-beneficial business deals, it doesn't have to be a conspiracy).

Imaginary conspiracies just magically work perfectly, with no whistleblowers, no accidental leaks, with thousands of agents invisibly affecting every facet of life to cover up what really happened during 9/11 or whatever.
> It'll be something like a burst water-main creating a sink hole.

I wondered this. Some of the eye witness accounts of those who escaped said the parking garage was full of water they had to go through to get out. Sink holes also happen a lot in FL, but not sure how often that close to the beach.
Well the most important factor of economic mobility has historically been women marrying up. So you might be on to something - it seems doubtful that wives who were able to marry up work that much harder than other wives.
Where I live the market rate was $100-125/sqft for single-family before the lumber supply squeeze. I think you just happen to live somewhere where inflation effects are ahead of the rest of us.
If you can get this contraption on your property (foundation, plumbing hookup, electric, all permit fees.) for under 100k in a desirable area, like the Bay Area, it's a great deal.

If I had a flat lot that was accesssble, I would look into this further.

In my town, even with the protections Gov. Neusome provided, getting an ADU is still a hassle.

In my town, rich people are using ADU's to add square footage to their existing houses. Some are actually successful with getting a variance, if they kiss enough ass. Or, know someone on that council, but I can't prove this alleviation now. I could a few years ago. Variances are over $1000, and until recently very few, like less than 1 percent, were granted. The town kept those fees though. Gotta keep those fees, and fines.

That said, it's still a rich man's game:

1. Council members go over every aspect of your ADU.

2. They even had the gall to ask an older homeowner whom will be living in the ADU. The guy said it would probally be a attendant, but felt he didn't need to discuss his medical history on tv. (San Anselmo tapes their meeting. I guess it's for litigation fend offs? If that's the case, they are not doing themself's any good. They are obviously biased.)

3. The town has a right to tell you what color paint your addition will be.

4. The town tells homeowners to go to their neighbors, and basically beg for their remodel.

5. The town can determine where you place windows.

6. The town can tell you what kind of roof they will approve.

7. The town can tell you what kind of siding to use. Better not use stucco, if they want wood?

8. The town can dictate what plants you use around unit.

(I'm conflating an ADU, and a remodel--a remodel usually requiring a variance. I'm not sure how difficult is is to just put in an ADU. If any town signed off on these modular units, they are quite a buy. I have my doubts.)
Do you want to work with those people anyway? Maybe they are part of the issue you’re facing with wanting to work.

The main difference between government surveillance and 9/11 truther conspiracy is that the government surveillance "secret" can be kept in the open because the bulk of the citizenry doesn't care, or actually thinks it's in their best interests for the government to be surveilling everyone.

In contrast, the bulk of the citizenry would be up in arms if there were indisputable proof that our government orchestrated a terrorist attack on American soil that killed thousands of people.

Evidence: the reaction to the Snowden leaks. Lots of Americans responded to that news with "oh okay; that's a rational thing for the NSA to be doing to combat terrorism."
I am still in the middle of reading the book and have not read the part about comments, but so far I have yet so see good comments in source code up to a point where I have a rather biased opinion on comments:

* good software needs hardly any comments: small methods with good naming facilitate readability

* unit tests are superb documentary as every dev can see how it is used and how it works at runtime.

* meaningful documentation is hardly ever provided in source code: purpose of abstraction layers and modules, how one class/module relates to another and so on (design and architecture).
> io_uring is more than a generic asynchronous syscall facility. It's the state-of-the-art asynchronous interface for communication between subsystems implemented between the kernel and the userspace.

The most essential concept here for me is the ring buffer. The most effective practical implementation I am aware of is the LMAX Disruptor, as this implementation can essentially funnel multiple threads into a single writer w/ aggregate rates of tens-to-hundreds of millions of operations per second. If you wanted to construct any arbitrary application in which multiple participants (threads/callers/services) are synchronized against some context, this library could serve as the foundation for that.

I don't even reach directly for OS-level I/O acceleration capabilities and I can get ridiculous numbers. I simply aggregate writes in software using the buffer, and I am still able to completely saturate NVMe devices from languages like C# using stupid-simple calls like File.WriteAllBytes().

Batching is a hell of a thing when you are going for maximum throughput. Processing a ring buffer that is always full with a single thread in a hot loop is the best situation you could ever hope to find yourself in. Nothing will ever give you faster serialized throughput without resorting to compressed data structures and other dark(er) arts.
That's what you need true believers for: cannon fodder. Unlikely for someone to chicken out if they're already heavily emotionally invested in the idea of achieving spontaneous unity with God by blowing themselves to bits.
Inflatable implant injected into the spine could relieve chronic pain
We used a similar approach when designed the system for video playback for a now-dead mobile phone OS. That had the added requirement of content protection, so user-land should never be able to access video frames, only tell the data plane where to put its data.
Their logo is cool, but it also feels faintly evil to me because I watched too much mid-2000s sci-fi.
The transition to what? Where is the alternative?

Don't you think that if the alternative was feasible it would have already been implemented without coercion?

I did make a bunch of money by winning the Netscape Startup Lottery, it's true. So did most of the early engineers. But the people who made 100x as much as the engineers did? I can tell you for a fact that none of them slept under their desk. If you look at a list of financially successful people from the software industry, I'll bet you get a very different view of what kind of sleep habits and office hours are successful than the one presented here.

> So if your goal is to enrich the Arringtons of the world while maybe, if you win the lottery, scooping some of the groundscore that they overlooked, then by all means, bust your ass while the bankers and speculators cheer you on.

The controversy is that while it technically increases your chances, increasing infinitesimal chances to slightly less infinitesimal chances isn’t necessarily worth your health. But if you have a stake in tons of companies hey, one of them will probably pay off if everyone is sacrificing everything for them.
There's a biological/psychiatric dimension to all this. Dopamine levels in the brain are related to belief in unfounded conspiracy theories, which interestingly is also related to schizophrenia. It makes it difficult for the person to inhibit associations between things.
I think the theory is that the initial collapse happened around the pool deck/parking garage area, where concrete deteriation was initially observed. Then after that area caved in, it caused the building area next to it to pancake.

>Appearing to reinforce the experts’ theory is the story of a resident who called her husband moments before the collapse to tell him she could see a crater in the pool area from the fourth-floor balcony of their ocean-front apartment. Then the line went dead, said Mike Stratton, who was out of town at the time. His wife, Cassie, is among the 156 people who are still unaccounted for.

Especially after the centralization of the American surveillance and enforcement infrastructure in The Patriot Act.

The TLA organizations in the government are rival siblings. If the FBI caught wind of a conspiracy to orchestrate 9/11 perpetrated by the Department of Defense in the newly-authorized data sharing, they'd have run it to ground.
What about functions as a service, like AWS lambda?

If you use Node as an example, your code is JIT compiled to machine code, any single request can fail, and you can scale to any number of requests without thinking about the underlying OS or VM.

Async/await will allow you to do a “blocking receive” like Erlangs processes.
