Whereas Athenian and other Grecian culture was admired and spread across the Roman empire after it was militarily conquered, Sparta's fate was humiliating. They were turned into a kind of human zoo.

If you're going to use the scientific notation for billions, you should just use it for everything. I don't think it's so obtuse anyway, it's exactly how I'd spell that number in code.
> Language is fluid and words represent concepts that change over time.

HN is largely a technical site so using the technically correct language is meaningful. Chemists often joke about that all foods are "organic" foods, but this is a deliberate joke about two technical terms for the word "organic". In both contexts using the correct is important.

Language of course evolves, but it always evolves with this tensions between changing use and consistent use. The argument that one should just lay down and let words mean anything is silly.

> We use contextual information to solidify the concepts.

In this context both meanings of the word "crypto" make perfect sense to me. It's quite possible (and imho more interesting) that MasterCard is interesting in having more advanced cryptographic capabilities as it is for MasterCard to expand its use of cryptocurrencies. I would read an article about the former and am not interested in the latter.
Hmm, so I guess you would have to fabricate an array of millions of microscopic electrostatic motors. Which is kind of like what biological muscles are in a way, right?

> Is there a benefit to describing APIs using YAML

"describing HTTP APIs using YAML" (or JSON) is OpenApi/Swagger.

AsyncAPI appears to be the "OpenApi, but for message queues" (and similar async communication mechanisms).

> Basically all you can do is generate HTML docs from YAML.

With OpenApi, you can generate interactive docs, where you can build and execute requests against a real API (not in prod, we hope)

You can generate code off OpenApi (and not just python and Java*). Anything from just DTOs to full clients. You can generate stub servers. You can inspect server code and flag up where it differs from the spec. You can test your API.
The obvious solution is to make it possible to bring the containers back to the store and refill them with stuff you need.

> People may prefer the English experience because they expect the translated version to be inferior

Even more, bilingual people exist!

A translated version is always worse. With a good human-made translation, it may just be a matter of making things un-Google-able or misrepresenting certain concepts. With an automatic translation, it's usually completely unusable.

I'm a native speaker of Dutch. I'm a near-native speaker of English. Having a page with both languages interspersed is completely acceptable! Don't "helpfully" translate everything which isn't in the configured language - you're only making things worse.
I don't understand why companies keep making these glasses with cameras on them. That's the main issue and concern that people have with these devices.

Good point about MySQL/MariaDB. I think this is different though because search engines are at a big pivot point to include approximate-nearest-neighbor dense vector search (it has before been only sparse vector search for Lucene based platforms).

Specifically, this feature https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/42326#issuec... will be a big change for Elasticsearch. OpenSearch might try to mimic the API, but implementation details here will matter a lot, since this type of search is really picky when it comes to performance/recall balance. OpenDistro has already been working on their own version: https://opendistro.github.io/for-elasticsearch/features/knn.... ...so will they switch their API? Perhaps - but the results are going to be very different.
Agree, it’s the only way for us to test our assumptions.

I wonder how well the experimentation approach will work in this case though, as:

1. Effects might be subtle and outside of the expected impact area.

2. Timescale might be really important (effects over a time much longer than we anticipate. Or even a timescale that makes it impossible to run many experiments in reasonable time)
This is some FUD that's been posted before (albeit in a comment) where it was addressed at the time.

TLDR: A combination of false, exaggerated, and out of context. Some of the arguments don't even make sense, like bridges "centralizing" all your data at... a server of your choice? Namely, my server! One of the multiple desktop clients being Electron based, and thus not FOSS, straight up falsehoods about data being sent back to matrix.org, etc, etc

This is a bad and disingenuous article.

Edit: Something really cool about Matrix to consider - not only are there a variety of clients, many written by the community, but there are 3 federating server implementations, one of which (conduit) just recently hit beta and was/is written entirely independently from Element/New Vector, AFAIK.

Oops, you are right, now that I think about it it would be weird to see a button labelled "öffne" instead of "öffnen".

I just thought that it was unlikely that the verb/adjective confusion comes from German->Italian translation, it's more likely from English->Italian.

It's a common mistake that I've already seen in software translated from English to German as well, it's just what happens when you translate English strings without context.

I have been following this space alot.
Heroku like deployment spaces have exploded recently partly because people miss that experience, partly because buildpack is opensource[1], partly because we have gone through a techshift where it is pretty easy to emulate that.
There are two broad categories - 1. Dokku's of the world, one VM (very recently tried adding multi node) and then more recently getporter.dev[2] and okteto[3] of the world that is trying to replicate heroku on kubernetes.

One of things, I noticed is that, It looks really cool at first look but every organisation has their own complexity in deploying stuff. It is an integration hell, you have to provide white glove treatment to all customers and eventually you have a hard time scaling.
We tried it too, and what we noticed if you have to go an enterprise and sell, you start doing leaky abstraction. It works really well for early stage startups but once they have the money you prefer something more customizable and robust solution.

This project looks cool. I do not want to discourage anyone but again, it is a red ocean out there.

I’m not familiar with the feature at all but I wonder whether your suggested alternative API would be powerful enough to atomically do things like:

1. Find the latest three snapshots, and then
2. delete those three snapshots.

With a generic API, that’d take two calls, with a possible TOCTOU in between so it wouldn’t be atomic.

But if you send that same program to the ZFS subsystem, and have it evaluate and execute the script, the subsystem would be able to guarantee atomicity, right?

> Electron was not considered Free Software by the Free Software Foundation.

That is not true. The link shows that a volunteer on the free software directory labeled it as nonfree at one point and later it was changed. However, the FSF did find that matrix in practice leads users to run nonfree software: https://www.fsf.org/news/fsf-and-gnu-move-official-irc-chann... "Doing so would create the unacceptable situation of encouraging a large number of users to run nonfree software in the form of nonfree JavaScript, which is used by the flagship Matrix.org server to authenticate users."
Over the years I have become very mindful of what tech I choose to adopt. Which means I first encounter a problem and then try to find a solution for it using tech. I can't think of any worthwhile problem that this smart glass will solve. So I am going to pass on it.
The "anywhere else" just isn't true. Ads on TV as well as in the printed press and large online platforms are labeled either by law or more or less formal agreements between these publishers.

The same is true for "native content" which tries to blend into the site with design and format, but is still clearly labeled as being "sponsored by BP" or whatever.

Journalists at quality publications aren't allowed to accept anything of actual value. So books for reviews are ok, but you aren't going to keep that Mercedes. For car reviews specifically, I remember seeing notes on them explaining that the publication paid travel expenses or that they accepted the invite to some luxurious event.

It's really only the entertainment sector, especially US movies and series, that does product placement.

Ask HN: Should HN ban paywalled articles?
Hi HN, a comment to give a little more backstory here:

At Scarf, we aim to give open source developers more visibility into how their software is being used. As people with experience distributing binaries and artifacts hosted on platforms like GitHub Releases and S3, a repeated struggle was not having any visibility into downloads. Which versions of the software were being downloaded the most? On which platforms? Where in the world? Which companies were downloading?

This year we built Scarf Gateway, which acts as a redirect/analytics layer for any container registry. Supporting other kinds of artifacts was a natural extension, and arbitrary file downloads is perhaps the most general extension we could build!

Curious to hear what people think.
You're right. I forgot about that.

> Decentralised systems are always more inefficient.

Decentralized systems are always more efficient.

Suppose you have something a hundred million people want. It's on one server. The server is in Virginia. If a million of the people who want it are in Japan, it has to traverse the ocean a million times. If a million more are in the UK, etc.

Compare this with something like BitTorrent. The million people are in the UK, the first one gets it over the ocean. From then on, people in the UK can get it from other people in the UK. Either because the client chooses peers with lower latency, or because closer networks are just faster and so when you're receiving from 100 peers at once, the closer ones will send faster and the download will finish from them before you've sucked too much data through the thinner pipe across the pond.

Even centralized companies build decentralized systems internally. Because it's the only way to build a reliable system and it's the only thing that scales.

The hardest part about decentralized systems is paying for the initial implementation. Somebody has to write the code. But in a true decentralized system, they can't sit in the center and suck out a percentage, because there is no center.

So that's how the evolution of systems goes. The first system is centralized, because when it's small the disadvantages of centralization are small, and as it grows the creators retain control of it for a while.

Then the disadvantages of large centralized systems start to manifest. Single point of failure, monopoly power, censorship etc. So people start building a decentralized alternative. At first it's terrible, because it's people working on it in their spare time. Eventually it gets better and takes over. And then nobody ever worries about it anymore, because it's there, and it's reliable and efficient and it works, and it just fades into the background because nobody pays attention to things that are working. Like TCP/IP, or Wi-Fi, or the global market for wheat.

A lot of that 2:45 time is the drying cycle, which uses the latent heat in the dishes to (hopefully) evaporate water off the dishes and condense on the cooler inside of the tub.

This has always been my perspective as well, but it goes against long-established norms—for example, it's for exactly this reason that the LGPL was created.

Ammonium nitrate is a common, cheap explosive, but the key to explosives is nitrate, not ammonia. Almost every practical high explosive is a nitrate or an organic nitro compound.

Major obstacles to ammonia fuel include the smell and its corrosiveness. Only a small amount (~12%) of energy is lost converting hydrogen to ammonia, and you save energy by avoiding compression/refrigeration.
I like the system at MOD Pizza. They give you your pizza in a paperboard box, but they also put a thin sheet of waxy paper on the bottom of the box before they put the pizza in. So you throw out a minimal amount of paper, but the box is ready to recycle.

> apart from the fact that my house could catch fire

Your house feels like a fortress, until something happens to you or someone you know. Not just a natural disaster, like a hurricane, tornado, flood, or earthquake, but small disasters too. House fire, as you mentioned, or having your house burgled, some crazy power company glitch, or something as mundane as a child with a cup of water in exactly the wrong place. Even if you are meticulous enough to drive backups off-site backups, that somewhere is probably close enough that it's possible for a natural disaster to take out your house and your backup site. Encrypt your data and save it somewhere geographically far away, if it's really important to you. It's doable manually but for everybody else, imo, an online service (eg Dropbox or Google Drive) is easier, which means it's more likely to happen and not fall off the bottom of the Todo list.
These media companies need to have some accountability somewhere. The logical way is either via the UN (which is too bureaucratic) or devolve it to each nation.

The way things work now is in a way imperialistic. They impose their point of view and culture on everyone even when it goes against what is acceptable locally.

People used to call this cultural imperialism but now many regard it as a normal transformation as we have a more globalized world… but many only agree with this pint of view only because they agree with the media and not because they agree in principle. The way to test this is to imagine social media instead amplified and exported a different set of values.
I'm probably in the minority, but I would like a record of everything I see and hear for my entire life. If every other private company gets to monitor me, why don't I? That said, Facebook is probably the very last company I would want to buy that kind of a device from.
That doesn't really seem to fly, as smartphones existed before the IPhone, but they were not done with the "no stylus" idea, thus not done correctly. When Apple does their best, they make the market by just doing it better, and everyone follows.

Matrix is an open source project where you can inspect, clone and alter the code; write your own clients, write your own servers, and choose to federate or not.

Useful would be "these are deficiencies in the federation system which should be addressed by doing this, that, and the other".

Useful would be "here's a guide to routing your client's connection via Tor or running a homeserver behind Tor".

Useful would be "let's start a project to enable use of Matrix without these things we think are bad ideas".

Useful would even include "here are well-thought out criticisms of Matrix with suggestions on alternatives that don't have those issues, but have these other tradeoffs".

This post is anti-useful. It's just FUD.
