I use it at work, I hate it. There's a senior level guy that keeps pushing for it, gets it barely working then leaves our CI/CD pipeline broken and I have to go and clean it up. I'm working on moving our team away from Github Actions now.
> The way Kubernetes traditionally works when scaling up your application is that the entire container image must be downloaded onto the node before the application can boot.

The way backups traditionally work .... is that the entire backup must be restored onto the system before the app can start using the data.

But data protection vendors improved on that many years ago (example: Veeam Instant Recovery - https://www.veeam.com/instant-vm-recovery.html), so Google's image streaming is hardly revolutionary. Reads of blocks not yet available go to the repo and as blocks get downloaded new reads directed to local FS. Just like with modern Data Protection software.

Some of you may recall that French startup that did this close to a decade ago (based on a modified Bittorrent client). They got acquired by somebody (Docker?).
Exactly, thanks. "MapReduce paradigm" wasn't precise, and I can see why that makes everyone want to give a distributed systems 101 lecture in this comment thread :)
Another way to save space is to use a directed acyclic graph. Specially if there are common suffixes that show up all the time.
I dont think you realize how unpopular the masks and lockdowns are among people. Especially when it comes to kids being masked.

I believe the platform for the right has consolidated to
- ending mask/lockdown/mandate
- letting parents have a voice in their children's school agendas
- making fun of runaway inflation

This is going to be difficult to run against, in many states besides "Mississippi".

Yes, if they have headcount, you should be good to go
Great idea.

Currently still missing a lot of stuff I'd consider to be minimal on the corpsec side; the earlier it's implemented then the easier it is to keep in the company rather than trying to add it later after inertia sets in. Namely:

* Enforce security keys on the SSO side
* Set up email security - SPF, DMARC, explicitly enumerating every source of email sent from your domain with full enforcement to catch new sources before they become critical and untracked
If I were you I would do what our working student from Iraq did. Enroll in a German university without tuition fee, do some freelance / working student job on the side until you can turn your student VISA into a normal one.
idk why you are being downvoted. I think the op had this misunderstanding.
Could be stale information. I talked to them a while back. Still, transacting at the Zestimate price doesn't mean they're privy to the Zestimate algorithms.
What I’m getting at is that it’s one of those things that is unlikely to ever be tested and likely won’t come up because Texans aren’t chomping at the bit to split their State up. Greater Idaho is more likely and that would require three State legislatures and an Act of Congress to make happen.
I'm sure if we start talking about it, there will be a bunch of people of a certain age that will wax lyrical about putting mouse drivers in the high memory area, testing changes to autoexec.bat to see what works, using EMM386, and a bunch of other stuff I have forgotten.

Just getting to the stage of playing games used to be a lot more educational than it is now, and I think there is something to that. If I had kids I would definitely try to recreate that experience for them somehow.
That Wikipedia article, which gives a definition of clinical death, and then talks about how clinical death is survivable.

According to that article, clinical death != warm and dead.
Does anyone have suggestions for making a CNC mill that's quiet enough to run in my apartment? I'm thinking about getting one of the cheap $250 Aliexpress specials (I only want to mill PCBs), but I'm guessing it's going to be too loud to run in a building where other people live. If I can make some performance tradeoff for relative quietness, I'd love to do it.

(Maybe it's as simple as putting it in a foam enclosure or something? That sounds bad for spindle cooling, though.)
While we're bashing the style: Is 'scrip' really what they meant in "If a patient says, ‘I want more energy,’ maybe the doctor should just write a scrip for methamphetamine"? I just checked the dictionary to confirm, and 'scrip' is definitely a financial term; surely they meant 'script'?

Or is this a situation where they flaunt common practice to be quirky, like their superfluous umlauts?
This is purely my preference, but anything customer facing would be a snoozefest for me.

Most L6+ that I've met in infra are incredibly sharp, and there's tons of interesting problems being solved in infra/core systems right now.

On top of this... the "move fast" motto really does ring true, compared to google, facebook speed is like riding a bike vs walking.

How effective do you actually find reaching out to random people related to job postings?
In my experience for the companies I've worked at, even if I'm referring a close friend/former colleague the only difference (visible to me at least) is that it they get put in a similar queue.
I did not. Do you have a link?
Your extension is one of the only reasons I keep Firefox installed, thank you.

Children are already the group least likely to be harmed by covid. Couple this with the data showing vaccines don’t prevent spread, but rather reduce symptoms in groups most affected, what is the point of doing this to children? An 80 year old diabetic, sure, but a perfectly healthy 5 year old? Why?
Or you could skip the aerogel entirely and use a hard, incompressible shell and pull a partial vacuum inside. Of course we don't currently have any materials both strong and light enough to do that. Neal Stephenson proposed such vehicles made from thin shells of diamond in The Diamond Age.
I've thought about this with my daughter since she will wonder what I am doing on my computer. I have to make the screen 'professional' looking so much so that it won't appeal to a child as a game, but more of a functional tool. I mainly use macos so I am constrained, but I was thinking of a TUI like screen or tmux. I've only a few more months until she is aware enough to start wondering.
I'm also a customer of yours who experienced something similar: the three separate hetzner websites needed to manage my servers and account were unintuitive to me when I first started using your services (compared to other hosting providers), so I tried reaching out to your support staff. I was very surprised when they responded to my questions in a notably condescending tone.

I still use your services today, but that interaction left a lingering taste in my mouth, so much so that I haven't bought any new services from your company since that incident.
What would be the difference?

The monitor I had wasn't capable of 1024x768. I got that custom resolution using a manually defined modeline determined through experimentation. It wasn't a simple VESA style display setting like the later 15" monitor I got. A flat CRT was quite a sight.

Only if kids are into it. Forcing structure under 7yo's isn't really great for their creativity.

And given how little screen time they can have at these ages I wonder how much retention they can have.
People definitely do it nowadays because there are incentives like card manufacturers giving you a free AAA title etc.
From the rumors I hear it can sometimes just be Ritalin.
For some reason this reminds me of John Ashcroft, among other things, the only US senator to ever lose an election to a dead opponent.
Yeah but that's not great either. Such a situation risks driving the manufacturers to the brink of bankruptcy.

Nvidia is selling GPUs without output capability to miners to avoid exactly that scenario already.
Ask HN: Have you done a DNA test for health reasons and learned anything useful?
Those DNA testing companies that claim to be able to identify diseases or conditions that you may be susceptible to later in life based on your genes sound mighty tempting. I'm curious if anyone here has done one before and learned something concerning - but helpful - from it? What was your experience?
My masked son had a low pulse ox in his checkup. About 80, the same number that with covid should necessitate a hospital visit.

Supposedly a lot of kids have needed to demask to get a good pulse ox. As a parent this terrifies me.

The word forest originally refers to land that is reserved for the king to hunt on, extract wood and other resources etc. from rather than a heavily wooded area. Even when it was first made a forest (and originally it was much larger) Nottingham forest wouldn't have been entirely, or even mostly closed canopy woodland. A lot of it would have been wooded pasture and heathland. Most of the wooded bits would have been managed by coppicing, polarding and selective felling, and then the forestry commission wiped out much of the rest in the post war period. There's a few bits of ancient woodland in there, but mostly in areas that would have been difficult to get to historically. For a laugh, google forest of Bowland, one of our larger forests that has and has never had more than a scattering if trees.

This looks awesome (beautiful looking app) but wow... its expensive!

I've been using Boop (free) for the same purpose
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/boop/id1518425043?mt=12 and really wouldn't mind paying for devutils (I've tried the demo and liked it) but $49.95 for the standard edition seems a little on the steep side for what it is...

In the event of a decent price reduction this would have me purchase for sure.

Edit: "This is a perpetual license and includes one year’s worth of updates." - yeah, I'll pass thanks.
There is nothing amazing about it. the word you are looking for is tragic, deplorable and criminal maybe.

Lets just look at the cruelty of industrial animal farming. There is absolutely no reason meat should cost less or anywhere close to fresh veg. Let alone the leftover disgusting god knows what meat factory horrors that go in a burger.

Its unhealthy garbage that kills people and costs trillions in health care.

Fresh street food in any Asian country, cooked in front of you, is a million times better, not to mention tastier and just as cheap.
A15 Bionic Beats Google Tensor Gets Machine Learning Benchmark Test
Obama wasted money on programs like cash for clunkers, failed climate scandals like Solyndra, and engaged in similar "nation-building" as W by sacking the dictator of Libya, which partly led to the rise of ISIS in his second term. It was a complete mess for the middle east and Europe and cost countless lives. Obama and W. were cut from the same cloth and listened to the same bureaucratic Pentagon consensus. There was virtually no difference between the two. That's why they are such good friends, by the way.

Afghanistan and Iraq were disasters and Obama had 8 years to end them but never did.
I appeared on Jeopardy earlier this year, and podcasts were a key part of my studying regime. For example, I reviewed American presidential history by listening to a podcast called American Presidents: Totalus Rankium, a history podcast hosted by two British comedians. This was effective for me on many levels:

- the outsider comedian commentary helped add a level of critique and emotion to the material, which made it much more memorable

- the presidents' lives overlap, so there's this helical effect of retreading the same material

- it also served to review generic American history

On the whole, this was much more engaging and effective than a Wikipedia binge. I did also use Wikipedia to explore tangents that my listening brought to my attention.
It's cool to take power from authorities and corporations.

It's uncool to give power to those who already have it.

Crypto just takes power from banks, it gives it to other powerful groups and corporations. Due to the fact that you still need significant investments to keep it running, it's not actually any more democratic.
I think what he meant to ask is “Are 4 nodes less reliable than 3?” and I’m pretty sure the answer is “no” despite the other comment implying otherwise. AFAIK, even nodes can hurt latency, but not reliability.

Not many Latin speakers remaining, outside obscure academia and religious orders. Dead languages abound, but constructed languages are slowly gaining ground. Esperanto has a dedicated following, and there's a surprising number of Klingon and Tolkien elvish speakers.

Sound is one thing but also think of the dust, especially if you’re planning to machine pcb at your home. That’s not good stuff.

But speaking of sound, some of it comes from the spindle. The faster it turns, the more noise it makes (usually). I was using a dremel as my spindle some time ago and it was veery noisy. Then I tried another machine that had a bigger spindle, that one was much quieter.

Then there’s the sound of the material being processed. The cutting bit hits the material at spindle_speed*flute_count Hz. This also creates hell of a vibration.

So you need to do two things: dampen the vibrations, and block the radiated noise. Plus you want to make sure you have some sort of dust control.
I bought the $25 license and it’s enough. Love the app.

The developer regularly adds more functionality.

I also paid for dash and alfred and love their integration.

All these licenses are affordable and help some very cool people put bread on the table.

"[Strategy for entering product categories involving widely used standards, extending those standards with proprietary capabilities, and then using those differences in order to strongly disadvantage its competitors. "

So pray tell me, how does one either "embrace" or "extend" a product that has always been proprietary, has never used open protocols or standards, and never had any interoperability with anything else?
I didn't have to do any of that, I put the cartridge in the slot or clicked the icon on the desktop. Or I did but it came later when I was already really into games and wanted to putz with emulators or whatever.
Since we are talking numbers, I am gonna do some hypothetical calculation.

Lets assume two employees A and B, their numbers are as follows:
A - $150k Salary + $150k RSU -> TOTAL = $300k
B - $150k Salary + $30k RSU + $120k cash bonus -> TOTAL = $300k

Also lets assume the year is 2017, specifically around Oct 2017 when AMZN price was ~$1000 ($1002 on Oct 13 2017)

With a price of $1000, A gets 150 RSU Units and B gets 30 RSU Units

Price of A's RSU on Nov 3 2021 - $3384 * 150 = $507,600
Price of B's RSU on Nov 3 2021 - $3384 * 30 = $101,520

Difference (A - B) = $406,080

You can say that share prices can go down, and then B's 120k cash bonus looks good. But that hasn't really been the case with Amazon. In fact, Amazon is so sure of their stock price going up that they by default include a 15% yoy increase when doing year end compensation reviews.

Furthering this hypothetical calculation, if B had also had an offer from Google with the following numbers:

$150k Salary + $100k RSU + $0 Bonus = Total $250k [Obviously B took Amazon's offer over Google's because of 50k difference]

As per GOOG price on Oct 13 2017, B would have received $100,000 / $989 = ~101 RSU

On Nov 3 2021, B's RSUs are worth = $2,935.80 * 101 = ~$296,515

Even after taking an offer that is $50,000 less, the cash bonus would still have been insufficient.

There are also other policies at Amazon which would have affected B's total compensation. For example,

- Amazon's 401k match policy is 50% match on the first 4% of base salary and Match vests only after 3 years. Amazon's base salary in Seattle is also capped at $160k. So max 401k match is $3200. Given the vesting schedule, Total 401k match received after 3 years = $9600

- Google on the other hand matches 50% of your contributions up to the IRS limit per calendar year. That is $9750. There is no 401k vesting at Google, so Total 401k match received after 3 years = $29250

All this is of course very simplistic calculations and a job has 100 other factors that are important (scope, team etc) but I would not call this "not an issue" like you said in your comments.

Please correct me if the calculations are wrong, but it looks like (4 years ago) taking a lower offer at Google seems like a better idea than Amazon.
What was your opinion of Postgres vs the others?
Why is it flagged? It is surely a story that is relevant for HN.

I realize that some the claims were obviously wrong but we can handle that in the discussion. Flagging effectively removes the post from here completely.
Fair enough. "Crazy complicated" and "the professionals" are both intended as subjective terms. To ME this stuff might as well be magic.
So FB should stand by while a state commits genocide? Who does "neutrality" help in this situation?
My bad Dmt Trip
Your vision distorts into a blurry chaotic mess. You tense up and are paralyzed with each breath continuing to shorten slowly until finally you take your last one. During this process your physical body is systematically being dismembered starting from the bottom of your feet legs waist and moving upward. Your stomach blasts out. You exhale for the last time as your lungs are pulled out then your throat and jugular vein are pulled out sideways from left to right by a large Hook. Your lower jaw is blown off. Then your remaining
teeth are plucked out quickly one by one pop! pop! pop! pop! pop! ..Your face is cut into cubes and detach from your skull. The last part of you, your eye balls break apart and melt and begin churning in a meat grinder. The dot within your pupil that you have become continues dissolving over and over while. All of your memories disappear, everything that is you. everything that defines you is deleted, you can't recall any of your life. You have no identity you are nothing and can do nothing.
There's no up or down. You can't form thoughts or question anything. Just the fear that this terrifying trip is permanent. Its actually worse than that.
That's a very weird perspective. I bought my monitor, camera, lenses, etc all second hand, and obviously I've got warranty nontheless. Manufacturer Warranty is unaffected by resale, no matter the reseller. And if the seller is a commercial reseller, I get 12 months of Retailer Warranty on top, too. (I love in the EU).

The concept that warranty would suddenly be void due to "unauthorized" resellers or retailers is very weird.

I found it to be a nice, accessible way to get started, with clear and simple instructions. Later on I cultivated a sourdough starter and am using that instead of instant yeast, but still following the same steps. (One learning point that took me too long to realize is that everything becomes much easier if you use high protein flour, more rise. Healthier starter.)
I agree, it's untrue. In my opinion, most of the problems Firefox has stem from mismanagement and utter lack of vision.

This has a lot to do with mozilla losing their leaders and rock star devs at a rapid pace in the last 10 years. Some golden-parachuted out to the FAANGs, others just shrugged seeing the Mitchell Baker Club got more and more influential in a bad way and looked for less toxic places to work, and of course Eich prominently got cancelled for being against gay marriage and his departure rippled through the entire community. I was subscribed to planet.mozilla and there was a constant stream of "it's been fun, I am moving on" blog posts by names I immediately recognized.

The Code of Conduct situation caused a minor exodus especially in the volunteer community, especially outside of the US. A lot of rather important people, who were the ones building the local communities, just had enough with mozilla corp leadership unilaterally pushing stuff on them without soliciting any feedback first. mozilla was supposed to be this community of equals and Corp dictating more and more things really did not sit well with a lot of folks. Some outright (and sometimes rather publicly) left, others just dialed back their volunteer time a lot. This left especially the Western European communities in shambles.

The WebExtensions switch caused a lot of extension developers (who often were also volunteering in different areas of mozilla) to move on.

The loss of extensions, themes and customization options made a lot of the power users very unhappy. And those power users were exactly the kind of people who kept telling friends and family to use Firefox, driving Firefox adoption. While they often kept using Firefox themselves, they also quite often stopped advocating for Firefox in their circles.

All of this put together, mozilla losing leadership, volunteer, power user and dev mindshare at such a rapid pace then translated directly into a loss of market share.

Major failures such as FirefoxOS and BrowserID furthermore have been very demoralizing, making mozilla leaders very cautious, to the point where you had very little innovation going on from the top down. These failed projects - especially FirefoxOS - furthermore took away a lot of developers from the core product, leaving Firefox in a place where for years they had to play catch up with Chrome.

Things like Rust and servo where went more of a bottom-up direction, with bright engineers pushing it, not so much the leadership. And then these things were the first ones on the cutting block last year.

Google only "helped" in so far that they kept mozilla busy playing catch up, making the situation worse by a ton of (experimental) features and new specs that Firefox then had to implement, thus taking developers from other areas that needed improvement. I think most of the time it wasn't Google's intention to fuck with mozilla tho, it just happened to be the outcome.
