> Why pay for something that's being offered for free?

As long as you check what it is that is offered for free.

Doesn't this case pretty clearly illustrate that this doesn't include maintenance and support?

If corporations want that, they can buy it. As in, pay for it. With money.
Yeah. We consumers are going to have to band together to defend ourselves and take back our power. (Funny, and true -- I did not start with socialism in mind when I said that).
The ministers of the 4 departments with largest income from EU subsidies and internal tax collection are assigned to the Socialist Party, known for corruption - Economy and Industry, Labour and Social Policy, Agriculture, and Tourism.
This was funny at the start, but I guarantee people with mental illnesses will start hopping on this bandwagon and you'll see people unironically protesting it.
Interesting about the total requests, but the article does not test.. balancing load? In a perfect world, 1 lb in front of 4 app servers should be able to serve 4x the requests as 1 lb in front of 1 app server.

So I'd imagine 4x nginx back-end servers, and a baseline hitting 1 nginx directly?

That, and the fact that the nginx config is shorter, and the performance not terrible (though terrible next to envoy in this test admittedly) - does mean nginx shouldn't be ruled out.
Userspace isn't magic. (Unfortunately the "userspace networking" people have done a poor job of explaining it.) When you're serving static files like Netflix, you want the storage drivers, filesystem, cache, network stack, and NIC drivers to be in the same address space. Whether that address space is userspace or kernel is not that important.
Watch a GM chess match. They’ll play memorized moves till a point and then they’ll be “out of the book” and will have to start dealing with novel positions outside of what they’ve learned or prepared prior. Do they memorize? Absolutely. Can they also play completely novel positions better than anyone else? Absolutely.
It's not really a spoiler. Shinji has such intense self-doubt and psychological pain from the very beginning. It doesn't really broadside you with him being unable to cope with the pressure of the world's salvation at the end or anything, it's a continual theme throughout the entire series starting at episode 1.
There's a massive implicit bug bounty here:

1. Find a bug in this library and write up a proof of concept

2. Shortsell $COIN

3. Publish 1

Which I don't think is even illegal? It's all open source and public information so you're not trading on material nonpulic information that I know
AND manufacturers not wanting to be stuck with old branding on devices.

the standard coukd have made some things optional. But they made everything optional.
Remarkable. That's pretty much the opposite of my experience.

In 1993 I worked in the City of London, where NT 3.1 was used in production, because it was so much better than Windows 3.1 -- even for Windows 3.1 apps.

By 1995, I tried to get people to use NT 3.51 in magazine production, but the GUI put them off. NT 4 fixed that, and it took off very well for everyone except cheapskates with rubbish PCs.
I luckily got into anime right on the verge where it became more socially acceptable (late 90s early 2000s). Also, I grew up in an area where the dominant local culture was more accepting of anime since Dragon Ball Z, Gundam (of some flavor), and Saint Seya were all localized into Spanish and popular with my age group.

The more off the beaten path animes like NGE, Hellsing, etc. didn't become as popular until a few years later when I hit high-school.
Few people (especially developers here on HN) really understand how massive and disruptive the metaverse is going to be. It's going be a combination of a live, 3D social network, and an embodied, real-time immersive internet where your virtual identity becomes as valuable as your real life one. When billions of people are accessing it, whether it's through computers, mobile devices, or mixed reality hardware, how you express yourself will be at the very core of it all.

Nike sees this, and wants to be well prepared for it.
I think the sweet spot is pitching to customers. We can assume that founders know how to pitch to investors, or at least it's something everyone picks up on the job. But how do you get that pitch to the right target market?

I've met founders who tried to sell ships with FB ads. So I think there's a lot to be said about experimenting with channels. A lot of the BS is treating a specific marketing channel as a nail - everyone tried to convince you that you need FB ads, Google ads, SEO, mailing list, billboards, whatever it is they are good at.

Guerrilla marketing would also be quite useful. It's not brought up enough today, because it doesn't scale (some investors hate it). But it's a good way to start the momentum with a very low budget.
This article doesn't even touch on the best part of Windows networking -- until around 1997, the best networking stacks were made by 3rd party vendors. While Win95 technically had it built in, if you actually wanted a robust network stack, you installed a 3rd party stack, most likely Trumpet Winsock.

Microsoft published the Winsock Spec/API up until 1997, when their stack finally got good enough to make the other apps obsolete. I think they still use the Winsock API to this day.
> The reality is that a lot of developers like to build just for the sake of building.

Very true. I build for the sake of building in my free time.

> Or worse, "we'll build it and we don't care if they come...

True as well. If I am working on a personal project is because I believe it's the best project ever conceived (obviously I know I'm wrong, but there is always "what if I'm not?!").

> A huge amount of developers just want to be shielded from any kind of customer interaction, and I'm not talking about call center support.

But if we are talking in the context of developers working for companies (not developers working on their personal projects) then the only responsible person of working on features no one will use is the project manager (or product owner): they own the product, they decide what comes next (with the help of devs).
There have been a few attempts. It never goes anywhere and never will
> I don’t think this event is sufficiently bad to overturn the principle that code reuse is a good thing.

Are we open to the idea that code reuse is a delicate spectrum of possibilities?

I am also curious what your threshold would be for something that is sufficiently bad to force a review of these principles. Last I checked 10.0 is the highest CVSS score available.

They said use one of the Thunderbolt ports.
There is no way to get DDC working on that port. It’s probably locked in the chip firmware.

All we can do is to provide software dimming using Gamma table alteration, or tell people to use the Thunderbolt ports instead.
Thats how cars work in very low temps :)
Or rather, they work anyway but it’s less friendly to the environment plus if you drive it cold you also need to spend a lot of time getting the ice off the windows, which at least comes “for free” with a 15 minute heating and a 3 minute pre-start.

The heater I think isn’t even possible to start from the car. Might be deep in some menu in that case. I only know the touchscreen way…
Show HN: SSI Benefits graphs for demystifying expected payouts
Hi everyone! This is a small React/d3.js project I put together after looking through the SSA website and trying to figure out how much you can really expect in benefits after X number of years, based on the deductions/additions depending on how early/late one takes out benefits. The data is not terribly interesting, but I hope it could be of use to anyone approaching retirement age who might want a cursory overview of what to expect without going through the calculations themselves.

Any feedback would be welcome, and thanks so much for checking it out!
There was no accident here, unless I missed something. The guy just lost power to his door locks after he got in.
> Won’t be long before they have 5G chips in and that isn’t your choice anymore. Kindles have done that since 3G

How do these things work? Do they have a contract with a phone service operator in each country in the world for unlimited data, or what?
> The hackers stole the private keys to access 96 wallets, siphoning off 4.5 million PYR

You know what I am going to say: Not your private keys, definitely not your coins.
> How could it be harder to move civilians and a wooden plank compared to a locked SUV?

A lot of outdoor dining is much larger and more obstructive than a wooden plank. I see entire structures, planters, electrical power, heat lamps and fire 'pits', etc.

> Imagine thinking this with a straight face.

If we approach unfamiliar ideas curiously, we can imagine part of factual reality that is outside our conceptions: people know things we don't and have legitimate motives we haven't considered. I know almost nothing about outdoor dining; it would be interesting to hear from a restauranteur and city planner.
I've always liked and bought Toyota brand cars for the past 13 years, but not anymore. Good job, Toyota, because I am currently in the market for a car and between this type of thing, telemetry crap, and no electric cars that are decent, you've lost a loyal customer. I hope one of your marketing/sales/exec employees see this and realize you're not doing the right thing.

The elements you're referring to are procedural mitigations to a poor design from a human factors standpoint. Those mitigations are always less preferred than managing those risks from an engineering perspective.

OSHA actually outlines the preference:

1) Eliminate the hazard outright (not possible here, you need the door to lock sometimes)

2) Engineer out the risk (they tried to do...poorly...with the manual unlock)

3) Administrative controls (e.g., the manual)

4) Personal protective equipment

You didn't get the issue at hand here: Everyone got the software they didn't pay for.

What they didn't get was support and maintenance. Newsflash: That wasn't included in the deal.

They want that, they can pay for it.
Quora was incredible back in 2010. I would spend hours reading and writing. The highlight was interacting with some of the great Silicon Valley characters that contributed much of the early content.

Since then the site has gotten steadily worse in every way possible, while staying aloft with infinite VC money and rich founders. It's sad story of what could've been.
The language had support for dynamic arrays for ages and the intrinsic functions like insert, etc have been extended to work with them in latest version (i'm not 100% sure if this is available in the latest relase, but it is available in the trunk). So for simple stuff that should work.

But yeah the containers that FPC provides are indeed cumbersome and i blame Delphi for that and FPC's insistence on copying all those bad features (ok, i understand the need to remain compatible so people can switch to FPC, but they can always provide better tools too - perhaps they're burned from when they implemented generics first and then Delphi implemented theirs in an incompatible way and now they have to support both).

On the other hand, you can make your own and i have mine which can use any old data structure, be it primitives, records or classes.
I don’t know if it is Omicron but New York is freaking out.

Cornell had 2 days in a row with 200+ positives. (Previously 50 would be a big day and not too long ago it was usually less than 10.). Tompkins County had a 300+ cases day ex. Cornell.

I was surprised to see they were requiring masks at my local rural gas station, but the Governor announced a mask mandate over the weekend.

What is doubly distressing is that we collectively could be addressing issues such as these if we wanted to.
It sounds like the charging infrastructure isn't there yet where you live. Doesn't mean the cars are useless for many many people, including people in rural areas. In the US, I don't think most rural people are 40 miles from the nearest food store, and I'd be surprised to learn that's true in most European countries either.
> To just give one example, there are a ton of places you can choose to throw in an o- or not, just like in English, you can choose to say "the" or not.

Definiteness marking is certainly an area where speakers of languages that don't do that get confused. But I'm not comfortable saying that there are a ton of places in English where you can choose to say "the" or not. In most cases, there's only one correct choice.

Going back over the nouns in my previous paragraph: (marking area[0] speakers[1] languages[2] I ton[0] places English you cases choice[1] [there])

[1] "the" permissible; presence and absence are both fine

It's worth reading several of the books, if only for Jane.

I still wish I could play the fantasy game, decades after I read the original book last.

Is there an industry term for users who are responsible for contributing valuable content in exchange for nothing that could be legally classified as actual compensation? Or for a business whose revenue and valuation depends on said type of user?

Something Awful is the first example of such a business that comes to mind, and Reddit is the biggest modern-day equivalent. Give your moderators power (however feeble that power may be), and give your users some sort of recognition (shoutouts, internet points, etc), and they'll produce and curate valuable, eye-drawing content for you for free.
> For sure, nobody needs to worry about reading any of the books other than the original.

Hell, I've only read the novella, and don't really see how it'd be improved by being extended into a full novel. Even a short one.
What’s crazy is that all that effort and skill can still be accumulated into something valuable.

Off the top of my head, they could start a YouTube channel dedicated to answering silly or crazy Quora questions/answers.

They could start a Substack accumulating the lessons they learned.

They could try developing a competitor to Quora (something very, very small for starters), since they’re familiar with the common issues the site has.

You can leverage a lot of that experience into something valuable that wasn’t immediately obvious in hindsight especially because it seems to come so effortlessly for this person. You just have to spend some time developing your business skills, knowing where to look for opportunities.

When I look back at some of the masters of their craft, it was always non-obvious connections. I’m not saying everything you do in life will be economically or even creatively valuable, but you’d be surprised at what you’d find with a little effort.

Even the art of researching and answering questions is in of itself a valuable skill that you can sell on Gumroad for $5.

Of course you’re free to move on to different project whenever you want but I figured this author should get some financial compensation for all the experience they accumulated.

That’s really the great thing about the Internet. Even the most niche fields can be valuable if you package it in the right way for others.

It basically was the anti-Yahoo Answers. Over time, it became just like Yahoo Answers.
I think you greatly misunderstood the article. There's no issue with optional<T>, nor is the article complaining that T* is a bad optional<T>.

The problem is that you can't have optional<T&>. So if you want to pass an optional reference to something, you're currently forced to pass T* instead (using null as the proxy for "not passed", of course). And thus, T* makes for a poor optional<T&>.
Jetbrains is only kind of a subscription. If you end your subscription, you retain permanent access to whatever version was current when you last paid. That doesn't seem drastically different from how software worked before and their prices are pretty reasonable for an IDE.
I don't think that's necessarily (or even probably) true in this case, since the vulnerability only exists where attacker-controlled data gets logged. If a library is just using log4j for some diagnostic messages with no user data, there's no issue, right?
Which is indisputably a problem with our society.
The globe-spanning quest in search of a lost timepiece
Yes. Submitted title was "Kintsugi – The art of repair to make broken things better than before", which broke the site guideline against editorializing: "Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize." We've reverted it now. Thanks!

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

p.s. Notice how many comments in this thread are making objections to the distracting and extraneous word 'better' (which was, in the submitted title, but nowhere in the original article) that's a good example of (one reason) why we have this rule.
I’m not sure what you mean by consulting, but I can’t see any job ad for something like that. All of them are basically “we need an engineer to build this”, and in the end you show up on the job and it’s not different than the previous one.

Can you share more details?
Sure, it was undoubtably a much better choice all in all.
Even Gassée would admit it himself.

He's been pretty kind on Steve, on written word at least, over the last couple of decades.
I wear a Helite Turtle 2 airbag vest when I go motorcycling. I wear it for three reasons:

- There is a mechanical tether. It is a reliable mechanism that is not subject to subscriptions or software of any sort. If I’m clipped in, I’m protected.

- Its air pockets are bigger than the “cool” airbag vests that are designed to fit under your clothing. Bigger air pockets really do translate into better impact protection. AND it has CE armor in the back as well, just in case. Below a certain threshold of air displacement, you’re not much better off than armor by itself.

- The air channels run over my shoulders and are designed to immobilize my head and neck in the event of a crash.

Fortnine has a video whose rationale matches mine: https://youtu.be/N2jZryt607U

The downside of my airbag style is that if I low-side and stay with the bike, the airbag won’t deploy. That said, in this kind of crash, I’m much more worried about abrasions (which is also why I wear a one-piece Aerostich suit).
Quora has this nasty dark pattern where they send you spam e-mail with different senders for each "space". If you simply click on "Block this sender" in your e-mail client, it will not work, since they will send e-mails to you from new addresses. You have to block them at the domain level.

In my opinion, this is extremely user hostile for the sake of improving some metrics.
keep believing that. Hope your car doesn't get stolen.
Wonder what limits you are referring to
I highly recommend you watch the End of Evangelion and Rebuild movies if you get a chance. Ultimately, I think Eva is ambivalent about the value of saving the world, far and away from the ability to do so. By the end of 3.0+1.0, Shinji essentially HAS saved the world, except that that's not the important victory. In the end, Eva doesn't care about canonicity, and it barely cares about narrative. It's instead more interested in characters, and their relationships to each other and the world they inhabit. Everything else is malleable to produce interesting dynamics between each actor. It's fascinating in how experimental it is, and not just because it superficially upends assumptions about how stories should play out.
rqlite creator here.

rqlite (and Raft) doesn't assume this. All it states is that for the cluster to make progress i.e. apply a change in a consistent manner, at least a quorum of nodes must be online and in contact with the Leader (which is one of the online nodes). Every node in a rqlite cluster knows what size the cluster is and therefore requires that (N/2)+1 nodes acknowledge the change before that change is committed. The Leader node performs this coordination.

The scenario you outlined above is obviously possible. But in that event the cluster is down -- the Leader (let's say it's node A) cannot contact a quorum of nodes. No changes can be made to it.

On most(all?) Modern cars you can't unlock the door from the inside if the door got locked from the outside. I think it was made law to work like this? In order to prevent thefts where someone just runs a tiny rod through an opening and pulls a handle - that doesn't work anymore. If you get locked in the car while inside there is no way to open the door, you'd have to break a window to get out.
I, male, mostly grew up with my single mom and for some reason people found it funny that I referred to my underwear as panties.

The DeLorean (DMC-12) is known for having the lock solenoids that get stuck energized when a relay fails. Fortunately you can pull the relay to de-energize the solenoids. (Climbing out of a window on a DeLorean isn't an option for normal-sized people.)

In my experience, any inconsistencies would be due to misuse of Raft, not something intrinsic to Raft itself.
