I love this, my company, Routefusion, which is not bootstrapped :(, is going to be posting quite a few jobs on here. Not only because we need to hire, but because this business is so open and transparent with everything, it makes me happy + makes feel like I understand exactly where my money is going. It also helps that the candidates on this board are probably very engaged which leads to better reply rates for the posters :)

Thank you for building this and inspiring even the non-bootstrapped people to do cool things like this!
This is true. In most cases American entertainment is always watered down and shallow compared to entertainment pretty much everywhere else.

There are some significant exceptions to this, however.
Despite its reputation, Kubernetes is actually quite easy to master for simple use cases. And affordable enough for more complex ones.

The fundamental abstractions are as simple as they can be, representing concepts that you'd already be familiar with in a datacenter environment. A cluster has nodes (machines), and you can run multiple pods (which is the smallest deployable unit on the cluster) on each node. A pod runs various types of workloads such as web services, daemons, jobs and recurring jobs which are made available (to the cluster) as docker/container images. You can attach various types of storage to pods, front your services with load-balancers etc.

All of the nouns in the previous paragraph are available as building blocks in Kubernetes. You build your complex system declaratively from these simpler parts.

When I look at Nomad's documentation, I see complexity. It mixes these basic blocks with those from HashiCorp's product suite.
Our ideas are incompatible, as you have quickly identified.

I wish you well, and I hope that your ambitions to defend traditional buddhist culture will help people.

I hope you will take some solace that I hope to reduce others' suffering, even though I have no faith, and believe faith to be wishful thinking.
Right now I landed my first gig in Italy, i'm getting 25k before taxes. When I told that to my friends that work in Denmark/Sweden/Germany they thought I was joking since for them my salary is not even entry level while here it's almost average for the country. Different Eu countries have wildly different markets and salaries, which is kinda crazy since you just can go and live somewhere else in EU with almost no documents
Vancouver is far more dense, google an arial image of each to compare. There are suburbs of Vancouver with density equal to Calgary it looks like.

What do you do with Nomad at home? What comprises your hardware? Just curious...
We want to apply consistent policies and technical controls across multiple dev groups that have multiple AWS accounts. K8s seems to be a good solution for that.
I don’t think much has changed except today’s developers are more open to natively compiled GC’d languages.

Two decades ago everything was running in the JVM or CLR. But today we’re seeing investment in Go, nim, etc.

I also think two decades ago you didn’t need your app to run everywhere. D can be your web app backend, it can compile to wasm, and it can be compiled to a shared library while still keeping you productive with a GC or without a GC if that’s your thing. This means you have a shared library that your electron desktop app can use or your iOS Swift app can use.
Yeah, even as a veteran java programmer, I could really only get clojure after mastering a scheme (racket).

I highly recommend 'The Little Schemer' if someone wanted to tread the same ground. Such a strange and fun little book.
Government regulation makes sense when there are externalities, for example a polluting factory that harms society but not the company. Airplane manufacturers, however, can self-regulate. If their planes are unsafe they will be bankrupted by the lawsuits of families of dead passengers, and airlines will not buy their planes.
Not op, but I can't imagine ecs being cheaper than eks since ecs itself is free (you pay for fargate either way)

Ecs is pretty simple but does not have the large mindshare that kubernetes or nomad have.
I wish you luck!

I have the opposite issue. I'm ... what do you call it? neurodiverse (at one time, I was an "aspie"), and I can actually get locked into a fugue, so strong, that hours go by like minutes.

In the aggregate, it has worked out OK. I'm a damn good programmer (but a total nerd).

I do have family that have suffered from ADHD, and hope that your app may be helpful.
> Nomad is closer to Docker Swarm in simplicity and Kubernetes in terms of the feature set.

This a question I still need to google but what features does Kubernetes have that Docker Swarm needs?

Because the perceived complexity of Kubernetes just blows my mind, where Docker Swarm seems a lot more simpler for the same benefits, but my its just abstracted away?

I will say upfront im naive when it comes to container tech.

We may have body consciousness at times, though conscious doesn’t depend on body consciousness or is required to be embodied. When I dream I often am not conscious of breathing or my body for example.

I once had a strange dream that exemplifies this. I was dreaming in Wisconsin of being on a subway train in NYC. A man in the train crouches down near me. I follow him down. He asks, “What is your name?” I tell him, “it’s Seth.” “That’s an old name”, he responds.

I am thinking, who is this guy?

Then as if to show me something, he pantomimes a mallet and strikes an imaginary bell, except I hear the bell ring out as clear as if I were awake. A disembodied voice says something in German, which I don’t understand, though I wish I could remember it now. Then I wake.

See I was conscious of the bell, though none was struck. I didn’t hear it in my ear, I heard it in the mind. So I don’t think vibration is sound and EM waves aren’t color, though they are the most common precursors to this sort of consciousness.

We can go to places in our minds where our bodies can not follow. I think it’s a hopeful vision of what might be possible some day. That we might find a way to transform ourselves into a world less inhabited with fears and self loathing to world of wonder and discovery.

P.S. I understand I’m not solving the hard problem of consciousness in this passage. Though I wanted to add some notes of what I’ve learned about consciousness along the way.

One thing I've wanted in an app is some kind of organized quick way to do "where did i put that?" and "did I try this food option before and did I like it or not?"

My main concern with any app is remembering to use it. I have a dozen or so alarms, and todo lists, and I still forget to check them. Beyond some push notification, what ways can your app help me remember to use it to make it a habit?
Why are they afraid of this one? Smartphones are already implementing this feature as a way to unlock the screen. It doesn't make sense that they're not batting an eye to that one.

If you have the same expression twice as part of a compound assignment, there's nothing stopping you from assigning the variable instead of repeating the expression:

a = b = f();

vs.

a = f();
b = a;

Single Parameter Fitting: A Beautiful Exposition Using Python
Hi guys,

If anyone is interested in a Python heavy explanation of the paper "Real numbers, data science and chaos: How to fit any dataset with a single parameter", it's available in the above repository. The paper shows how to fit almost any data set into a real number between 0 and 1 (i.e. Cantor's paradise), and it's very interesting! I figured that the bright folks on HN might like it, so I figured I'd share it with everyone here. Any suggestions for improvement are welcome :)
> some agents deceiving the very buyers they are supposed to represent, in an effort to pad their own bottom line

How does this work in Canada?

Here in the UK, estate (and lettings) agents are hired by and work for sellers (landlords).

The article suggests that buyers hire real estate brokers to represent them (i.e. their own agents), which is unheard of this side of the pond afaik except, perhaps, in the multi-million pounds properties market.
Don't spread FUD.
I think he's implying that traditional MPAs are relatively well-understood. The team will pretty much know how to make them and will not expect to break new ground on architecture, discover new things the model enables, or spend a lot of time on "How do we build applications?" versus just delivering on business goals. SPA development is less mature, so there's a lot more room (and sometimes need, or just temptation) to reinvent things.
Four things:

1. a "libertarian-conservative journalist and Policy Correspondent at the Foundation for Economic Education" is maybe not the most unbiased source regarding government mandates.

2. I had to follow three links through other stories to get to the source data, which is annoying. Why not just cite the source data.

3. The data trend from the actual source (https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/drug-overdose-data.htm) show that this was higher than last year, but long-term trends show that this is just another increase in a line of increases from, what, March of 2019 (or just from 2015, the beginning of the data in the graph, really) according to that graph.

4. "The sad yet inescapable conclusion is that in their efforts to halt one public health crisis, the authorities fueled another." That is not really borne out in the data, supported by the original report, and is just this writer's opinion. Correlation does not equal causation, I think is the line.
All is far too strong to apply when there are as many different distributions as their are. Arch must have done the work to separate out all those dependencies, Debian has also stated their position is dependencies must be separated out as well.

You’re trying to appeal to “my better nature”, to help me believe that FB can be changed. It wont work.

In 2007 or 2008 I promoted the idea amongst my friends to “poison the well”, to feed bad data into FB’s algorithms. If they enjoy Coke, talk about Pepsi, I said. If they vote Green, share far right news. I called it Falsebook.

It didn’t work, because the problems inherent in the advertising auctions are not very visible to users. They mesh with the echo chambers of our friend circles and fizzle into the background. We seek out echo chambers in order to feel safe and validated. It’s mostly fine when it’s just humans relaxing with friends. But when that echo is robotically generated from an accurate model of all individuals involved, it can be leveraged for all sorts of big scale shady crap. Advertising is the village idiot of this town and corportate-backed political propaganda is the warring gang lord.

And Zuck does what any market owner does.. sits back and rakes in profit, cleaning up the mess when it suits him. And mostly it doesn’t.

I’ve never felt it could be fixed from the inside. I’ve never thought it was a good idea to begin with but I let peer pressure and my magpie nature suck me in. I regret signing up for FB and GMail back in the day because corporate surveillance has fucked our society hard and let sociopaths run rampant.

You will not change my mind. I wasn’t contributing to the conversation in good faith. I shall assume you were. My original glib comment about FB abusing social networks wasn’t an invitation to learn a new perspective, it was a war cry, a flag raise, a call for comrades. I was hoping someone would respond with links to a new Scuttlebutt implementation or tell me about a cool Masto instance. Or try to explain why I should bother with Matrix. Or something more interesting than all of those.

The web is sick. Personalised advertising has made it ill. We need to fix it and I don’t believe FB or GOOG are interested in trying.
We've largely broken app architectures in AAD down to spa, hybrid, and "webapp". Where webapp means "a server owns the state, and creates a web page and sends it to your browser". MPA is rough - 110% some engineer within minutes of that doc going live will point out that their spa has multiple pages.

Personally, I like TWA - will start using that locally to see how it goes. Look for a doc update near you soon...
Really cool!

Is there an advantage to creating a quickjs wrapper instead of compiling the C wrapper into a node module?
Not diagnosing you or anything like that, but you should know that hyper focus is a symptom of adhd.
I tried to achieve the same thing in the past and have run across issues with HSTS. The details are escaping me but I think it might have been that when using the production app without a proxy, the SSL certificate was associated with the HSTS records in the browser and when I switched to a proxy, the HSTS started failing because the certificate has changed. Have you run into this at all? How have you solved it?
Faith is a fundamental part of Buddhism.

Even if you decided to become a Buddhist now, it is really unlikely you would be able to achieve significant progress, because we are in the Dharma ending age and only extremely high capacity individuals have the chance to liberation...

If you are interested in Buddhism, your best chance at liberation is to put your faith in Amitabha's vow and hope for a rebirth in his Pure Land, which is basically the ultimate Buddhist training camp.

Namo Amitabha Buddha!
Remember, the true test of tolerance is tolerating the people who are so intolerant they execute the other people you tolerate on a regular basis.
Hyperfocus is actually one of the odd trades of ADHD. If people with ADHD work on a topic that motivates them, they can easily loose hours just like you describe. However, if the task is too mundane or overwhelming, I can easily procrastinate months on them.
This sort of thing is absolutely worth discussing, but I'm always skeptical of it being engaged in good faith.

The big red flag for me here is that the word "lockdown" is used to cover the entire year. Most states had brief lockdowns, and ultimately there were a lot of different levels of locking down that were implemented at different times. FEE isn't doing the work to prove that stay-at-home orders directly contributed to overdose fatalities.

I mean, we have a few hundred thousand deaths in that time, right? What if someone overdoses because they lost someone?

Also, one thing the pandemic has taught me is that if you see something like "record-breaking", it's imperative to dig into the numbers. If they give you raw numbers, ask for percents, and vice versa.

So if you use the numbers they give, we're looking at 22,000 more deaths than the previous year. What is the context for this? Were overdose deaths trending up or down before 2020?

Furthermore, though I'm not really a fan of this kind of logic, if the United States had taken zero action to try and slow the spread of the virus, would there have been at least 22,000 more deaths?

I dunno. There are interesting questions to be asked and answered here, and I hope that people continue to explore it all. It's just that this article acts like it's conclusively answering questions, but it's not.
It is first MacBook for me, being a windows guy for whole my life.
I started to love Linux few years ago for development and was using wsl fulltime since it was released few years ago.
I started to hate slowness that this brings and overheating etc etc...
Then I said to myself, you are a professional so get yourself a professional tool and then I decided to buy MacBook and God I am happy. It makes me so much more productive.

The most important thing for me is that I can open my laptop and start working in 3 seconds. Without loading, waiting, something randomly freezing etc..

I have a good evidence for this effect being real. My git commit graph skyrocketed since I can open my laptop for 15minutes, do some work and then close it.
With windows that was never the case. Either a long programming session or nothing

I loved my phone until I looked at nextdns logs and noticed it's reaching out to Xiaomi owned servers roughly every 30 minutes. It's definitely tracking something. Now nextdns has a dedicated Xiaomi block list so I should be ok, but who knows?

>I didn't find any other measurements on the internet, please point me to them if you find them.

It has been years since I have written thousands sockets servers (used in forex), yet even a couple milliseconds per write would have made the entire operation useless.

>another explanation could be false sharing effects that I didn't know well at the time.

False sharing sucks, of course, but milliseconds seems way way too much again penalty. You'd need all cores updating the same cache line, even then I doubt it'd be that bad.

Could it be the virtualization layer? (again I have run 'that' on bare metal only)

>I think it should be possible to do some similar stuff with multiple readers and/or writers

Multiple writes should be avoided entirely, contention on writing is what prevents scaling - false sharing is pretty much that. A writer honoring the readers is pretty simple - each reader has its own pointer and the write should fail (or spin) when the buffer is full. I think that's quite a classic structure and indeed - it requires no extra memory to communicate/hand-off.

About latency - this is java's current GC that does still has a compaction phase.

So far I've kept things simple, avoided k8s/HashiStack/etc by using docker compose with a simple docker-compose.yml for each server. This has been working well, but I'm starting to feel the pain points - HA requires copy-pasting yaml, I need to specify which services are on each server, and so on.

What's the simplest next step I can take? I'd like something with (close to) the simplicity of docker compose, but ideally being able to specify something like `instances: 2` and being able to route/load-balance to those instances from another service.
> ... advocate for this. All what you are describing, which is basically what every hardcore k8s user/evangelist will tell you to do, it's reimplementing many, if not all, the features a Cloud provider is already giving you in their own resources.

A well-designed KaaS offering from a cloud provider will do that by itself. GKE exposes GCP load balancers as an Ingress controller, IAM identities as Kubernetes RBAC identities, persistent disks as PVs, ... You just get them under a single declarative API.

> But you are taking the ownership and responsibility for this on your local platform/infra team.

With a platform team you're concentrating already existing responsibility into a team that can specialize in operational excellence - vs. that same responsibility being spread out across product teams that have to individually manage their own cloud resources, reinventing the wheel by writing the same terraform/{ansible,puppet,chef,...} boilerplate poorly. My experience is that these per-team bespoke AWS deployments are much more brittle than whatever a dedicated team can provide if given the responsibility and means to do things well.

> What if you screw something with CoreDNS? what if you break some RBAC roles used cluster-wide, while trying a change in the beta environment?

An outage is an outage, you roll back to stop the bleeding, investigate what happened and try to prevent whatever caused it from happening in the future. Neither of these examples are unsolvable in a multi-tenant environment, nor especially more likely to happen than similar screwups when using cloud provider resources.

> when bitcoin actually meaningfully drives renewable production that is going to be essential in reducing those externalities.

I am so sick of this bs argument from bitcoin apologists. Cryptocurrencies drive renewable energy in the same way lung cancer drives chemotherapy drugs.
