There is nothing inherently safer about using seatbelts per se.

In fact seatbelts can kill you. I have a friend that went out with his has car and a friend 20 years ago, they did drink too much and had an accident. He was expelled by the acceleration the car had(because he used no seatbelt) while his friend burned alive inside the car.

What makes seatbelts generally safer is that it is a single point of failure, you leave only one possibility for the position of occupants, so you could put a team of engineers working around this single point of failure and develop solutions for that, like now that you know all your occupants remain inside you can make the deposit to absorb impacts, or you can use airbags, that are useless or even dangerous without using seatbelts.

Without seatbelts , there is almost infinite possibilities and combinations of failure, and you can not design against that.

But a solo enthusiast in India has not this luxury.
> And if you're going to solve that problem by running each service in its own container or VM then again that only makes the context switches heavier [...]

Quite obviously I meant running a microservice / job processor in a different "node" (aws instance, whatever).

It barely makes sense to let microservices compete with each other for CPU - one precisely seeks greater isolation.

> Well no shit if you just buy more CPU cores whenever you want to run more code then you don't need to worry about getting decent performance out of your hardware.

Large codebases relate strongly to large businesses that can afford hardware matching their scale.

> I guess when you add the 129th function to your codebase you then throw away all your super-expensive servers and buy even more expensive 256-core replacements?

Ok I regret spending time over your replies.
New studies indicate that adults should not have more than two servings of dairy products per day.

Citation needed.
I get it, but if the author means a different thing, then they should link to a source that actually defines what they mean (and that I myself could not find, except for the mention of modular programming), instead of to the Wikipedia article that refers to what we have been talking about here.

As it stands, what they link to, and what most seem to understand as structured programming, was not a fad at all.
That good old CDE-look is making me feel seriously nostalgic :)
Here is their published rational: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/yescrypt_as_default_h...

It's not that shocking-- there is a lot less need for standardization of password hashing than protocols, and there were a lot of legitimate disagreements and ambiguous tradeoffs in the contest. (e.g. about things like timing sidechannels, the relevance of memory hierarchy, or support for other features like precomputed tables).
I think the term "non-numeric" probably refers to another popular language of the era from which SNOBOL comes called FORTRAN. The purpose of fizzbuzz as I understand it is to test a person's aptitude for programming, but not necessarily a person's ability to select the "right" programming language.

If the purpose of fizbuzz is to test for programming language selection, and fizzbuzz is a "purely numeric problem", then should the proper choice be FORTRAN.
Eh, DMARC is meant to solve different problem. E.g. when your accountant receives spoofed mail with a fake invoice supposedly coming from a legit supply chain provider. They might be trained to check domain that was used to send email but without DMARC non-techies won’t be able to notice well made spoofed email.

Being a high school drop-out is the reason he was killed. If he had been to a 4 year course in Mechanical engineering, he would be exposed to a lot of knowledge about the complexities of building machines
That last one is not S. Vietnam surrendering, that's an American meeting Bui Tin, N. Vietnam Colonel, in 1973 as they implemented the Paris Peace Accord.

My understanding is there was no formal handover in 1975. In fact when the N. Vietnam knocked down the gate of the Presidential Palace and went inside, the S. Vietnam Prime Minister said he was handing over S. Vietnam and the response was "You have nothing left to handover at this point".
Are they?

I can't access the article behind the paywall, but I ultimately have a very simple question: Where can I (living in Germany, Europe) buy one of these milk alternatives that tastes like milk? Can you name a shop?

I would like to buy it. I'm willing to pay a premium. I feel this is an important enough development given the high greenhouse gas impact of milk that I'd like to be an early adopter.

It's not the first time I read about something like this, but often enough if you look into some of these plant replacements it's some startup saying "we have fancy tech that allows us to create this product that really is like the original", but they only announce it, but haven't gotten to the point to actually produce and sell it.
One would assume that if you have the resources to attempt to build something that resembles a helicopter, you would have a way to source a cloth strip to tie yourself to the seat.

Not trying to diminish the magnitude of the disaster, but I think your argument does not apply in this case
There are enough other networks and apps they could use. It’s just a modern communication channel. The surrender of complete provinces has nothing to do with WhatsApp or Twitter but is a cultural practice in the 40 years Afghan war.
> Python's model of running N separate processes for your app is not as unreasonable as people might have you believe! You can achieve reasonable results this way, with a little digging.

I have been through this journey, we eventually migrated to Golang and it saved a ton of money and firefighting time. Unfortunately, python community hasnt been able to remove GIL, it has its benefits (especially for single threaded programs), but I believe the cost (lack of concurrent abstractions. async/await doesn't cut it) far outweigh it.

Apart from what the article mentions, other low hanging fruits worth exploring are

[1] Moving under PyPy (this should give some perf for free)

[2] Bifurcate metadata and streaming if not already. All the django CRUD stuff could be one service, but the actual streaming should be separated to another service altogether.
The conversation seems to be about failings of the pandemic, mostly relating to bureaucracy. I expected to find something startup or business focused, but this is politically focused.
I wrote an opinionated WebGL wrapper in Rust/WASM here: https://github.com/dakom/awsm-web

The idea is that it does more cacheing of things like uniform locations and such so you do very fast in-memory lookups in WASM without hitting the JS Api as much.

In the future this will be obsolete since WebGPU has a more optimal API to begin with, and Rust/WASM won't need to go through the JS layer due to "interface types"
That's a nice corner of the internet. A great, niche story and the commentors are old-school plumbers with stories to add.
There needs to be a program to sponsor top shelf educations for these super resourceful, highly motivated kids in these "how'd they do that" videos that circulate. Genius is evenly distributed, but the opportunity to develop it is not.
Typescript would be nice if it weren't essentially just a bunch of macros for JavaScript. As it is now, as soon as you want to run it, you lose all the benefits of it (including many performance optimizations that could be made in a statically typed runtime) and of course, all the usual footguns of vanilla JS still apply. It's a great development tool though, I'll give you that.
I am really not a fan of the tan suits, but always enjoy the irony when I see them in and around the president.

I assume they are doffing the old cap to the Obama Tan Suit Controversy - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obama_tan_suit_controversy - Obama's appearance on television in the tan suit sparked significant attention and led to media and social media criticism. The issue remained prominent in the media for several days with the issue being particularly widely discussed on talk shows.
Okay, but what about someone who knows those jingles but hasn’t purchased any of those conpanies’ products in the last 20 years?
I've spent gobs of money to buy products, very nerdy products.

It was always to reduce headaches and friction. Better workflows for dev teams. Fewer production outages. Reduce/mitigate security incidents, etc.

I think the only ads I get is either product placement or sponsored search results, I don't read any spam or unsolicited ads/emails/messages.

However, I do not recall any purchasing decision that was not driven by some need/headache to solve and involved some peer-review/references by others to make sure I don't have blindspots.

Is this unusual in commercial/B2B context? I don't think there was all that much emotion, unless you call pain-relief an emotion. Couldn't care less what it looked like, branding, or anything like that, all I wanted is to solve my immediate challenge and forget about it.
That's not the thundering herd. If someone rings the door (request), only one person (agent, process) needs to answer the door. But what might happen is that everyone in the house rushes to answer the door. The people "thundering" to the door (and making a mess as they do so) are the "herd". This can quickly become a problem if there are a lot of people in the house and the doorbell keeps ringing.
I’m with the sibling commentators- this phrasing is generally complimentary in the American press. It’s kind of strange cultural norm, but it’s a celebration of the “self made” aspect of what the person accomplished, not a denigration of his education level.
It has similar benefits as react-dom has for the dom. Less code, faster performance, less memory consumption, real interop with a growing eco system.
I am building a social network similar to linkedIn for artists as a hobby project. I don't have a demo yet. I hope to complete an MVP in couple of weeks.
You’re mixing up two different things. A desire to control immigration is not evidence of racism.

Sure. Parsing DMARC requires understanding DKIM as well, so what you’re asking is a non issue.

That said DKIM is not enough because that standard does not have a way to signal recipient that your domain has DKIM set up in the first place (and you promise that all your mails should always be signed).

It’s kind of funny but essentially hacker does not need to spoof DKIM because they can just omit it and recipient won’t be able to know that it should have been present in the first place. Btw, there was proposal to add a feature that could be used for this signaling but it didn’t get adopted, so DMARC is the only practical solution right now.

Yes, I agree... case in point - Unity's Wasm/Webgl exporter works really well for the most part, especially if you test and develop specifically for that target - but we don't see it taking off the way Flash did because nobody wants to wait 10 mins for their page to load.
Ah.. from July 9. I was hired there on July 1. Good times!
Obviously geeks always think their product choices are driven by rational thinking. This is why marketing to geeks are like "you are more smart and rational if you buy this product".

Marketing is used because it works. Of course your decisions might be purely rational, if such a thing is possible, but in general marketing have an effect.

I fact the article seem to be itself a clever piece of marketing, and the minds of HN is eating it up because it confirms what they want to believe about themselves ("we are too smart to fall for marketing.").
Be aware that poorly-configured mailing lists might not play well with DMARC.

I'd also like to see those studies of yours. And I wonder if that accounts for lactase persistent people like me, and accounts for a more healthy population because the saturated fats of milk is probably more harmful to an already more overweight group.
The only possible explanation for this monumental stupidity I can think of is an attempt to surround Iran. Invading Iraq is potentially very profitable because of oil, but invading Afghanistan for $1tr for 20 years "because 911 terrorists" (the official excuse) seemed completely idiotic, if not an attempt to have a foot in the door near Iran.

People have been taught to be irrationally afraid of in-process concurrency (including async). Not too long ago the standard approach for concurrency was "it's hard, don't do it".

I've been told off in code review for using Python's concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor to run some http requests (making the code finish N times faster, in a context where latency mattered) "because it's hard to reason about".
Hi, clon!

"Would it be possible to have a single large highly available index with tenants of wildly different sizes?"

Yes, we can imagine API keys allowing each consumer to have access to a certain number of documents in an index. When querying the index, the internal filters allowing to select the documents accessible by this API key are automatically inferred and added to the initial query of the consumer. In short, it's a bit like a WHERE clause that would be fixed at each query.

I'm not sure if it answer your question, so don't hesitate to reach me!

I'm available to discuss your use cases from our community slack or by email :)
I disagree. We can't argue with formal precision here (unfortunately) but we should be permitted to try analyzing, anyway. Roughly speaking, the "objective" observations made in traditional mainstream news outlets tend to be correct, but the more an article strays from those objective observations (and becomes opinion, value judgement), the more contestable the inferences that the writers draw from these objective observations becomes (and the more divisive the article tends to become, in particular in the US).
"Websites larger than X have to be IPv6-only" would probably do the trick to force adoption.

Right now though, we'd be more in need of "websites and -services larger than X have to support IPv6".
sorry, i think you don't get it - the point is that you don't have all the necessary things. Which things out of the missing things were really necessary - that is rearview 20/20. This time it was strip of cloth, other time it may be something else.

I still feel like a gnarly shaped block of concrete should at the very least be able to catch the net.

US Signs Peace Deal with Taliban After 2 Decades of War in Afghanistan (2020)
I think they were saying for the cause of the accident, not the seat belt part.
I wasn't necessarily referring to containers; I was referring to sandboxing tools like Bubblewrap and Minijail, which isolate many parts of the host system, the namespace, and filter syscalls. This approach combined with restrictive SELinux policies should be much more widespread. By default, most *nix systems don't really have any security model besides user accounts.

When programs run with some more isolation/sandboxing, they won't be able to access the same copies of shared libs loaded by other programs so they'll re-load them. In most benchmarks I've seen, a much greater amount of memory is used by a program loading a single shared library than a statically-linked program, even excluding the overhead of the ld interpreter.

I was also referring to the OS package manager, not bleeding-edge programming-lang-specific package managers.
Same here, i have no idea what the fuss is about… but i assume i don’t run into these issues because i have a different workflow.

threejs has no problem rendering hundreds of thousands of objects, so react doesn't have a problem either because its baseline is threejs, it does not introduce overhead or a performance penalty. These components render in a regular RAF loop, react is not involved at all unless you are mounting/unmounting objects, and this is where it can actually be faster.

Despite your attempt to obfuscate the issue with your wall of text, the simple fact of the matter is that you didn't give a single example of analytic geometry (i.e. coordinate geometry), which is based on the explicit use of a coordinate system.

> Use of formulae is outside the scope of pure geometry ala Euclidian style.

Like Heron's formula?

> Trigonometry using algebra is part of analytic geometry.

Yes, a part of analytic geometry. Distances and angles are also a part of analytic geometry.

> Explicit use of coordinate system is not essential.

Yes it is. That's literally what analytic geometry (i.e. coordinate geometry) means.
> Lactose intolerance is rising in the US population.

Is that not largely due to the change in ethnic composition? (And a fairly slight effect at that)
Dairy is best avoided altogether.

It's the most common allergen. Even in smallest amounts it's inflammatory even in those without obvious IgE allergy (tests for allergies are notoriously imprecise, even things like RAST and in-vitro lymphocyte stimulation).
Cons take many forms, and a conman doesn't have to be a single dude.

IMO, Google cons people daily, delivering one thing, after promising another. EG, we don't track, then being caught tracking.

But larger cons happen all the time.

For example, some kickstarters. Vapourware. And, even getting a tech person to pass on links about what if vapourware.

A con is not always about money from your pocket. Look at ponzi schemes. The original investors do very well, but are scammed into endless free advertising, which enables the end-con.

There are small cons, and big cons too. I suspect that the non-conned have been conned many times, they just don't get how.
many, i dunno, but i feel like if i ever hit it big or evenly mildly big (say, $10M), i'd prob be handing that stuff out.

My experience says otherwise: children and young people who could rely on their parents' wealth tended to be complacent and bored, or spent their time doing some expensive hobby for fun. They had their life secured, so why bother.

But there were exceptions, too. My grandma used to say that someone was born with a "propeller up their backside" [0], e.g. totally relentless. I met such types of all classes. Not everyone concentrated on business, but they all had a lot of drive towards their goals.

Over the medium term, not significantly more than the (stupid, but apparently intended) limit of 1/day, rate limited not by technical but by biological means.
> Lactose intolerance is rising in the US population

Isn't it just the logical consequence of non-European immigration? AFAIK lactose intolerance is a pretty well-known phenomenon (unlike gluten): mamals are lactose intolerant after weaning, and as such most humans are so. There exist a few places (northern Europe, subsaharian Africa, southern? India, somewhere in the middle East) where the same kind of nonsense mutation on the gene responsible for weaning appeared, so people from there are usually lactose tolerant even after being weaned. The more people not coming from there there is in your population, the less lactose tolerant your population will be.

On the contrary, I think we are very exceptical on everything work related and it's very challenging to sell new tech, even for free. Most probably because we are tired and inundated with options.
