But at most companies I have seen those are handled by specific roles in the company who are in the team as well. Not all devs on the team need this knowledge. Depending on the service, you need resourcing. We have monoliths and microservices running on ecs and eks and we have 1 person who does the knobs turning and 1 person (me) who can take over if need be. I see no need to burden others with this, I dare say it, crap, because it is just not really useful or needed for writing business functionality that our clients want and need and pay for.

OP seemed to imply that coders needed to know this stuff because their code might not work: if that means turning knobs on the outside (runtimes/containers) then sure, but the devs don't need to know, but their comment about the JVM implies something else and I am curious what that is.
Have you just invented this or is that actually some well-known fact that birds impress potential mates this way?

I adore Elixir and have made a good career around it. I'll love it until my grave.

But with that many servers I can't help but wonder if Rust wouldn't be a better choice. I don't think they'll even need 100 which, as OP pointed out, will drastically reduce their operational complexity.

Furthermore, the strong static typing would have avoided the megamorphic functions right from the start.
> I strongly believe platforms should be forced to allow interoperability

That is ludicrous. What gives you the right to decide how people run their business and what services should or shouldn't be available to their consenting customers?

> The idea that someone hosting a productt on the internet should be able to control how I access my data or services is utter nonsense and it’s amazing that we’ve allowed it to become the norm.

Your data is yours before you share it. If you don't want to share it, don't use such services, or use services which provide contractual guarantees that address your concerns.
Cloudflare is all over HN and their CTO, jgrahamc, will frequently appear to answer questions. California is just waking up so I expect a few ho it a before we get some solid answers to this issue.
It’s gracious of the author to assume that the purpose of video calls is usually to convey information and solicit feedback, but the true purpose of most video calls is to exert some control over somebody who (the organizer thinks) needs a reminder of who’s in charge.
The alternative is to intervene and prevent you from gifting your success to those you love and your future generations.

One (of the many) problems with that approach is that it takes away a meaningful incentive for an individual to sacrifice their time and energy. Without that there is only your own individual life to enjoy.
Ah, this explains why they put that lead weight into F1 cars!
I think that analogy is not the best for at least two reasons:

- The cars we're discussing here are anything but "older tech". Ferrari has been consistently at the vanguard in terms of making fast cars. I guess you could argue that they're older in that they're ICE based, but then, consider that the first Porsche was an electric car, electric is actually older tech than ICE ;)

- Different people have different reasons to prefer vinyl, but one thing I don't think can be argued against is that, as a music storage medium, vinyl is a lot more resilient. I have records from when my grandmother was young and I can still play them just fine, yet she's been dead for a few years. I have lost files from my first computers (30+ years ago) and there's no way to get those back. Of course, my grandmother never made backups of her records, and I can even get an idea of what music they have without electricity: I can always just put it on the turntable and manually spin it. For archiving purposes, vinyl wipes the floor with any digital format IMHO.

Still, I think your point stands, it's only the analogy that may not be the best :)

On desktops I've never had a problem with hibernate either with windows or Linux.

On HDD it takes time, but no longer than booting from cold.

On SSD it's less than ten seconds to hibernate or boot.

I've had to tweak wake on lan and disable mouse waking pc etc but that's not different for sleep

Laptops however are a nightmare and just don't or won't hibernate properly
Relevant interview with peter daszak https://www.microbe.tv/twiv/twiv-615/ recorded at the december 2019 nipah conference in singapure.
Yep, they seem to have settled at about 2100 servers which is bonkers insane. Go or Rust will likely max at no more than 100. If not 20-30 even.
Agree. The thing you sort of hint at but don't specifically call out is that using the chest configuration gives it a shorter wheelbase, which means less chassis, body, etc weight than the skateboard design. It's still going to weigh a lot, but it will be less than many other EVs (of similar battery/ motor size).
And the somewhat okay is the enemy of the very bad?
I assumed OP wants to know the identity of the Cloudflare users scanning their SSH ports.

I think OP guessed it was probably not Cloudflare themselves scanning their ports, so I think that's what they meant by "hear who and why".

Maybe dox is too strong a word. My point is, from what I've heard, the general sentiment is that you're unlikely to get any information about customers just by sending abuse reports to Cloudflare.
This is consistent with my own experiences with topic models, although I'm left wondering to what extent these observations generalize and why. I tried to find more details in previous posts about the models used etc but couldn't find much.

There's a lot of interest in overfitting with ML but it tends to focus on supervised methods; I think there's a need for more focus on unsupervised methods in general, with regard to overfitting in particular but also just in general.
The current state of open source )or even freeware) speech synthesis is pretty sad, to be honest.

You have eSpeak, which is GPL V3, so including it in your own software is a problem. RH Voice can be compiled without GPL code, but its language support is pretty limited. There's also SAM, which is incredibly easy to port and incredibly light on resources, but its licensing status is unknown, it's English only and it just sounds bad, even to somebody used to robotic synths.

If you're developing for a popular platform, it probably has something built-in, but if you're developing for embedded, you need to pay thousands of dollars to Cerrence (formerly Nuance) to even get started.

Going out on a limb.

95% of all substantial corporate meetings would be vastly, vastly improved if someone wrote up some dot point notes of said meeting, and circulated the document as a courtesy.

In my time in the workplace I've seen this done in maybe 5% of meetings. The entirety of that 5% involved team leaders having a regularly scheduled catch-up with our divisional overlord, and I sat in or saw the memo.

Why don't these very basic things that would vastly improve productivity take place?

Garden variety laziness.

Unless you get over that very basic hurdle of couldn't give a damn, what's the point of all these other solutions?

> in theory writing stuff in a wiki is useful but then try finding the information with, say, Confluence search.

If the company/team wiki isn't organized to optimize for browsing to relevant documentation, then you might as well use google docs (which excels at search and is terrible for browsability).

A reasonable percentage of effort documenting something in a wiki should be devoted to making sure that people actually can find it, otherwise you're in cleaning-closet-in-disused-bathroom territory.
I’ve updated to generate PDFs using embedded/vector text, so it supports copying, pasting, and parsing.
Interesting that the no lab peole keep beating the same "evidence" drum, conflating to the public eye evidence and proof meaning.

Every single denial comment around here hinges on this confusion in terms and then tries to stick the "no proof" meaning to all the evidence, instead of bringing whatever evidence there is that it was a natural strain evolution or debating the various points.

Funny how instead a meta analysis of the discussion show one side piling up evidences while the other insists in trying to convince people that no proof equals no evidence.
Thus is the curse of being a religion. You do one thing that general society helps. And then they just criticize another piece of your belief system.

There's no system that will perfectly allow people to both find value and meaning in their world AND also promote totally free action of others.

Thus we live in a contemporary world of non-religious people seeking out value (look at the current obsession in Silicon Valley with Stoicism, mindfulness, pyschadelics, etc). But Silicon Valley also tells their people that they can't use those methods to find an actual belief system of values. It's like, definitely always look for meaning and value in the universe, we like that. But, don't find it and a be bold about it.

Catholics are against birth control because we're for a world in which human life is nourished, valued, and lifted up within the family. Not that it's seen as a problem to be dealt with. A knock on impact of that mentality is the sex becomes seen as a sacred act of deep value to humanity, an act with profound power and responsibility.

Almost no Catholics suggest that we legally outlaw birth control. We recognize that fundamentally free agency should be left to moral agents (unless it cause a direct moral hazard to others like abortion, theft, dishonesty, etc). But why would we change our view on reproduction and the family? Moreso, birth control doesn't even do that great of a job at slower birth rates in developing nations.
You can say about Ethererum what you want, but the payable keyword in Solidity blew my mind.

Having a globally available standardized decentralized and transparent way to pay for all APIs calls baked into a programming language is a pretty awesome feature.
Isnt Ruddock the same person who claimed that Cabot and a friar established the only pre Reformation church north of Spanish territory?
Though that's less restricted writing for the joy of it and more a philosophical claim that "nothing is, everything does." In other words, the use of "be" to define two things to be equivalent acts as a short-circuit to convince people of a relation without doing the work to demonstrate it.
I really like the concept, the only thing I'd nitpick is that I didn't quite dig the stack spread (C++, go, php and python) and that I found the grommox code very hard to follow, not due to the inherent complexity of the tasks but because of how inconsistent and messy the code is which makes it difficult to consider it an improvement.
Do you believe anything the CC says is surprising and worth it?
>I think there is space for more disruptive approach to meetings. Remember Elon Musk saying if he didn't find meetings productive, he would walk out? Stuff like that.

The last time I even suggested doing this, I was swiftly met with a "then I'll report it to HR" by the manager. Even though this was in video, with a clear tongue-in-cheeks approach. The majority of my colleagues had nowhere near the audacity to make such a suggestion, let alone actually do this. Reality is most developers aren't working together enough to make it a serious risk for managers not to listen, as the average dev is still replaceable enough.

>The difficult part is sometimes teaching devs that they do not exist in a vacuum and the business is more important than the tech.

You don't really need meetings for this though. Unless you're trying to convince a stubborn dev by showing him just how much more stubborn stakeholder X, who controls the money, truly is.

>Sometimes they need to be in meetings to help others understand

I fail to see how pulling the majority of the dev team to the meeting, while at the same time giving them zero time to prepare and zero development in their presentation skills, helps others understand much more if it wasn't something that was so trivial, you could've explained it in a short message. I'm all for helping the client, the higher-ups or any other non-dev who wants to know more and meet the business ends. However, the kneejerk reaction seems to be "let us meet". In reality, they want me to bridge the gaps between their perceived needs, their actual needs, my/our jargon and a way of communication they understand. New-age meetings with barely any preparation or research beforehand, being mostly a back-and-forth, no-holds-barred discussion, have barely ever been a suitable medium for that.
Hypothetically speaking, let's say I'm a serial killer. For some unclear pathological reason, I can really only feel joy while murdering people. Should we give me an exemption to Laws against assault and homicide to allow me to enjoy it?
Tropfen auf den heißen Stein...
Because banning fossil fuels would make a huge number of vehicles worthless overnight. It's too much change too quickly. Banning new ice cars will lead to a more tolerable and gradual shift. Furthermore, a hypothetical rule saying that old cars can use cheap fossil gas, but new cars have to use expensive synthetic gas would be impossible to police.
Not sure I agree to be honest. I don't think most developers should know how to run K8s, but I think most developers should know how to run their code on K8s. These guys aren't idiots - putting abstractions and guide rails in the way is just patronising.

That's not to say everyone has to be an expert either - there's a place for experts to optimise setups etc too.
Depends on your definition.

Capitalists have successfully ejected murderous regimes from their timeline, by saying that capitalism isn’t really real unless it’s got a free democracy associated with it. Thus imperial Japan, Belgium’s atrocious behaviour in the Congo, the behaviour of the British Empire is completely left out of “capitalist history”.

If you did the same trick for socialism you could just count Denmark, Sweden and other successful mixed-but-really-socialist democracies and you could say that socialist guided economies are actually fantastic. Ie if I define socialism as only real socialism when there is a free market democracy but large well funded social programs that keep the society from excessive inequality, I suddenly have the recipe for some of the happiest countries on earth.

And some people, you know reasonable people who actually understand Marx’s critique of capitalism - not as a recipe but as a pretty accurate descriptor of the end result of the natural forces of capitalism - they might say that Denmark style socialism is actually what they would like.

But of course Denmark = Soviet Union in some peoples mind so that’s impossible.

Let’s forget of course that past Stalin’s death, the USSR’s criminal activity was relatively limited. They didn’t invade a country until Afghanistan and that was still without imperialist purpose - they just believed Afghanistan to be in their sphere of influence. In comparison with American military, the Soviet military essentially was used to put down revolts in part so the world the USSR believed has been left to their influence after Yalta. When Portugal was turning red in 1974, the Soviets refused to have anything to do with it.

Vis à vis the crimes of the Soviet Union or Red China past their murderous genocidal creators - Mao and Stalin - were relatively limited. In the same vein you could argue that the US was also founded on genocide, just of Native Americans.
Yeah I agree with rust, I have some simple database fetching servers that run crypto functions as well (I.e. login) and for simpler operations they can quickly get to 100K+ requests per second on a single host

The lesson of the internet is that lower friction always wins. If people had charged for everything on the internet from its inception, it would have died.

I agree, but that is beautiful right? The choice is in user’s hand if they want to interact with content or not.
If they don’t want to read the content from that publisher in future they can simply do that, rather than getting three drip mails in 2 week intervals on why I haven’t read emails sent to me by them.
I don't mean to imply that Soviet Union did not have lots of propaganda. But do you have any proof that this particular underground explosion caused radioactive pollution for some populations?
Right, and we do do that for decisions that affect more than the people involved in the debate. However, we also have a wiki, and so anyone can look at it and see how a habit of writing things down decays - because people may write it, and read it, but nobody maintains it or cleans it up.

The only worthwhile document is a document with a clear owner that is routinely updated. This does not scale beyond a few pages per user.

When you talk to someone, you get their view at this point in time. You don't accidentally get their view five years ago which they've since revised; you are guaranteed to get, if not the accurate version, then at least the current one. When you talk to multiple people, you even have a chance to get the correct one. Notes cannot defend their argument and so must be taken on faith - or else to confirm your understanding, you end up talking to someone anyways!

In code, the best documentation is the test, because it must be correct. The second best documentation is a comment, because it's right there and hence hard to miss. Third is an external specification referenced in the README, because they generally change much more slowly than the code. Distant fourth is a self-written document in the same repository, because after all, how do you notice that something didn't change during review?
The "zero evidence" claim is a blatant attempt to shift the burden of proof. In my opinion the burden of proof remains with those hypothesizing zoonotic origin.
If you're using microservices, it may be a good oppurtunity to try a language that supports immutability and the heavy functional style without the loss of performance. Something like Elixir, Haskell, OCaml, Rust.

via support ticket with cloudflare. They didn't explicitly confirm it, but my experience is that they would have corrected me if that was wrong :)
One step at a time. Not even the Pope, alone, is going to solve this, but every bit of support adds to the critical mass of people calling for change.
I don't think he's saying that we should make it illegal to give better opportunities to your children. He's just pointing out the fact that some children are born into poverty and there's no simple justification ("they don't work as hard as the rich kids", "they made poor financial decisions", etc.)

No it can't . It barely scales to the orbit of Pluto (~5.7 light hours from the sun). You

>* The batteries overheat and turn into literal bombs.

They -can- do so, but there are plenty of ICE fuel and oil fires and they're not easy to put out either. I've seen rally cars go up in flames and there was nothing to be done other than watch £100k+ burn.

>* The overheating results in quickly degraded batteries

You're assuming a fault condition and extrapolating from that. That's like me saying that ICE cars radiators fail, and then they overheat and break down.

>* Plaid performance is egregiously overstated

"The electric car accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.07 second" - [1]. Doesn't sound egregious to me.

That's the first confirmation I see of it too, and I followed that pretty closely a while back. We knew they had both at x86-64 and a ARMv8 project running at the same time (K12 was the ARMv8) but it never was really spelled out how they implemented it (best I got back then was that they shared a lot of commonalities).

They cancelled it though as they saw :
1) the ARM server market wasn't happenning, at least not at the timeframe the product was to be ready for
2) the x86-64 could really be competitive with Intel

Then Intel had some issues and here we are.
You mean Eastern end of the archipelago?
Because in the grand scale of things, high-end supercars are a microscopic percentage of carbon emissions. And being affordable only to the very rich, can be taxed _a lot_ to offset that microscopic percentage.

Should Italy prefer to reduce their carbon emissions by 0.1% while destroying one of the last few industries they're the best known for, with associated loss of jobs and livelihood for thousand of families? Of course they don't.
You're right, I tend to think .NET == C# but it's a whole ecosystem. We have some Powershell at work and it's a nice DSL for scripting. The languages we use outside of .NET are C++ (like you said), JS/TS (I doubt Blazor will replace all usage of JS, and we have a big codebase anyways), and Python for some machine learning stuff.
While I have nothing against an exemption for brands like Ferrari, I have to say that one of my favorite car makers, Koenigsegg, which seems to go to extremes when it comes to in-house manufacturing, has already one hybrid, the Regera [0][1], and is working on a second one, the Gemera[2][3].

And they are by no means “regular”. Acquiring batteries from other manufacturers did not stop them from making superb megacars. And Christian von Koenigsegg says their Jesko [4][5] will be the last one to be full ICE. That’s also meant to be a record breaker [6] (you have to see the video, seriously), just like Agera [7][8].

I wonder why we haven't seen yet some more optimisation for JS. The only thing I'm aware of is the Google Closure Compiler. With everyone using TypeScript, there must be a way to use all that type information to make JS run more efficiently, or compile parts of your TypeScript code.
