I think this conflates a very specific paradigm for using WebSockets (state synchronization with a stateful "server") with WebSockets as a technology.

At the end of the day, WebSockets are just, well, sockets, with a goofy HTTP "upgrade" handshake and some framing on top of them. You could implement the exact same request/response model as in an HTTP based service over a WebSocket if you wanted to.

Stateful services are a tradeoff whether you use a WebSocket or not.

Reading through here, I think what you're trying to build is a synchronized stateful distributed system where state management becomes more transparent to the engineer, not only across backend services but also between the browser and the service side - this is well tread ground and a huge problem, but an interesting one to take on nonetheless. "WebSockets" are a red herring and just an implementation detail.
I'll fix when I return to my computer. Thanks
If you can't study something ethically, the conclusion is not that you get to ignore the ethical problem, the conclusion is that you can't study it.
its more than just webockets. Its a prototcol built on web-sockets that also include keepalive and long-polling fallback.

You could in theory replicate the protocol in another stack but its more than that. Elixir is uniquely suited to websocket applications. Since a websocket is persistent, you need a process on your end that handles that. Elixir is excellent at creating lightweight threads for managing these connections. Out of the box, you can easily support a few thousand connections on a single server.

I know because we did it at my startup. channels powers our entire realtime sync system and its yet to be a bottleneck. It more or less works out of the box without issue. Its almost boring level reliable.

When I was a child in Ontario in the 1980s we had a single teacher for each class that taught all subjects except French, so (except for the French teacher) there weren't really any non-Math teachers. I imagine that things have changed a little, but probably not enough to except the preponderance of elementary teachers from being expected to be competent math teachers.
> I would hope top performers get paid better than mediocre or below average employees

We have bonuses for that. No need to deceive people into taking less than others. Bonuses also have the advantage of being tied to your actual performance, while giving a rockstar salary to a new hire won't guarantee you better performance than other employees paid less for the same role. Or you could have salary ranges for roles. What's always unexcusable to me is lacking transparency and gaining competitiveness by deception.
There seemed to be change on their low-end stuff when the DS120j/220j came out. The processor and RAM finally seemed enough to not spin off into oblivion, if you avoided the software that catalogs image files.

They are dual-core, 512MB RAM, where the previous DS110j was single core, 128MB RAM and the DS115j was single core, 256MB RAM. The previous models just ran way too close to CPU starvation or swapping hell.
The reasoning behind having it public is (I believe) that it lets people see that the taxes are paid. A bit like court processes are public because you wouldn’t trust the system if it took place behind closed doors.
That does not jibe with my reading. Which is that there were certainly flightless birds that survived K-Pg (Palaeognathae, ostrich ancestors) and the dominant flying dinosaurs (Enantiornithes) died off, but Neognathae survived and was flight-capable.

Does it have its own gas well? My sister has a home backup generator, they lost power during some cold snap and some pumping component failed and her neighborhood lost gas too. The only house in the neighborhood that had heat/power had a big propane tank because it was built before the neighborhood got gas.

I’ve never seen a data center with natural gas backup power. But I don't know if that's because of reliability or if it's too expensive for a big natural gas hookup that's used rarely. Though I have heard of the opposite -- using natural gas turbines as primary power and utility power as backup.

This is good news, but my personal uncertainty factor is still high as to what is driving this.

They find lower severity relative to the Delta wave this summer, but no difference in severity relative to non-omicron infections from November. I am curious what the variant distribution is among those non-omicron November infections; one confounding factor is just high overall immunity which they say is difficult to fully account for (they did control for known prior infection). Refer to the discussion section on page 10.

Electric cars have increased the availability of mobile electric power systems: experience with batteries, motors, controllers etc in cars is transferable to aircraft. It's "in the air" so to speak.

Edit: Also the mass market adoption of small quadcopters; these "distributed electric propulsion" flying car type things are basically the same concept: flight control by altering the speed of an array of propellers.

Also a lot of university teaching/research on both of the above.

Interesting to see some familiar topics here, I thought I was the only one.

You may be interested to know that some time in the last decade the Russians clearly signalled they would be prepared to use nuclear weapons in Europe. Brilliant play since they know the US sentiment around preparedness to enter another conflict that isn’t theirs.

By simply signalling they forced the US to consider other options hence the decisions to deploy tactical nuclear capabilities not subject to the same rules as strategic nuclear weapons. And last I heard they were deploying these tactical capabilities to a sub class also responsible for SSG.

I’m very curious to understand whether Russian simply signalling in the way that they did has caused the US to strategically compromise their second strike guarantee. That would mean that by simply introducing the idea they have let the US take the mutually assured destruction elements off the table that made it so risky to begin with.

I also sent a GDPR request, to GCHQ, MI5, various police constabulary's where I have lived or passed through and the Police national database because a Police constabulary dont have to pass information to the central national database.

Its quite interesting knowing what they know about you and would urge all Europeans to do the same ie GDPR your security services & police forces!

I dont have a mortgage, but in theory you could also use GDPR to do this if you have the deeds to your mortgaged property, you could DSAR your mortgage lender and then ask them to remove all your data from their system as its not scientific or law enforcement purposes and you should also time it so that all the credit data agencies like equifax and experian also remove all trace of your mortgage at the same date and time. In theory you should end up with a mortgage free property but I cant try this as I dont have a mortgage.

Hacking isnt just restricted to Computers, you can exploit the law as well. :-)
> This is the same argument as ”if you want higher taxes why don’t you donate money to the state?”, which is of course a non-argument.

why is it a non-argument if everyone knows that talking the talk is different from walking the walk? Higher taxes is not a means to itself, it has a specific goal of funding causes that you care about. Now, if there's a cause that you deeply care about, why wouldn't you donate your own money towards that cause as a matter of your exercising your free will instead of desiring that everyone else are unuiformly forced into following your ideals?
I don't think either of those positions are represented in any way by the two political party choices Americans have. In the case of the former, it seems pretty blatantly to be empty rhetoric - the Republican Party as it exists now is built by and for established wealth to maintain established wealth. In the case of the latter, the Democrats do not even pretend to advocate for anything like that. The only people who think they represent that are the people who don't vote for them.
The study methodology apparently involved a sample of high-traffic websites from https://tranco-list.eu. I have a hard time believing that the operators did not have to deal with such requests before. I always add the 30 day statements in my GDPR requests, mostly to make sure the support people set a calendar reminder to reply before the date. The next step if no reply is received is to complain to the data privacy watchdog in the country of the website operator or in your country if the website is operated outside EU (though I always begin with an email follow-up). Nobody would go to court after 30 days of a GDPR request without going through the govt data protection agency first. And to be clear, only requests are entitled to a 30-day reply and the email said that no formal request is being filed at the time [1].

But yes, that was clearly human research and the IRB should have grilled the PI about that.

Edit: as you can see from the replies below, not only the study ethics is questionable but also the technical details about its methodology.
What you don't seem to realize here is that various app stores, etc almost never sell you any content. They sell you a temporary revokable right to access content. It's like a movie theater ticket, with an added bonus of ushers being paranoid assholes that could kick you out any moment without a reason. You don't own the movie, you can just watch it, if you're lucky. If you think that service isn't worth the price - tell them that, loudly, and use other options. But as long as millions of people are ok with it, they're not going to change - they have no reason to. If people treat temporary right to peek at the goods as goods being sold to them - why not enjoy it?
The version in the Ubuntu repos is 5.10. I wonder if they'll "upgrade" to 6.0. Downthread people are complaining about the compilation time for the C version, which seems like a much less significant issue when the cost of compilation is amortized over many users. But if Go is a much more productive language, I guess a feature delta will accumulate...
I operate a website that likely meets one of the requirements to be subject to CCPA that received the emails from the research study. We have basically no revenue or staff. I didn't appreciate being lied to (about who was sending the message), being threatened (with legal enforcement), wasting my time (the study was scrapped), and being used for research without consent (the fact that this happens all the time doesn't excuse it). If they wanted to know our CCPA/GDPR policies, they could have simply asked. I also received emails from the study at two other domains I own and one that mentioned a domain I don't even own, but which probably don't matter for CCPA - all of which made me think that this was a scam and legal trap to take seriously.
I don't know if passport data is supposed to be confidential (i.e. if it can be misused), but I have no compunctions about sharing my salary information. Last month I made the equivalent of $5615 (after deducting pension payments), from which I paid $1886 in taxes.

It's ultimately subjective what counts as "personal information", but my income is not me, nor is it particularly about me. I think it would be fine for it to be public by default, as in Norway.
Could this not be a small part in maintaining a smaller socioeconomic difference? Hard to underpay someone when they know what their role should pay.

It's why you have user interfaces today that are often as slow as, or slower than the equivalent Windows 3.11 interfaces. In 1993 things took time because the processor was an actual potato and the data fetched off a floppy disk, today things are slow because the code being run is 1-10k times slower and messages need to be continuously sent to a datacenter half way around the world to inform an analytics server about your every input.

My backlog is quite long ^^ and my feel good games are from the 90's/00's so yeah :].
I don’t think anyone here that argues that the information should have been public means that this makes it a non-issue. If it was in fact not public, then it’s a problem.

The argument when one argues that it’s not very sensitive is that it’s not a huge scandal for not-very-sensitive info to leak.
i think the reason some of us value the privacy is because we're on the higher end of the pay spectrum. And while many people think that making this information public will benefit everyone, I just see it as a way of reducing my potential ceiling (money is finite, this is a zero sum game) and causing animosity amongst my coworkers and friends.

And frankly, not a lot of people can handle being told they aren't as good as their coworker, which is why they make less.
Yeah. You can pull drives out and mount them in regular Linux. Synology uses standard Linux tools.

Ask HN: Recycling vs. Climate
What is the impact of recycling on climate change? I’ve always recycled, but as I was about to recycle a peanut butter container (which would be hard to clean out) I wondered if it was the right thing to do. It seems to me that there are many ways recycling may be bad for climate change:

- Energy required to actually do the recycling process (this is material-dependent and may be net-beneficial for climate if more energy is required to produce new raw material)

- Energy required to ship material across the world and dump it in other countries rather than deal with it domestically.

- Energy required to supply water to peoples’ houses to clean out containers.

- Energy required to heat water to clean containers (probably good rationale to only use cold water).

- Energy required for more trucks to pick up multiple types of trash/recycle.

Am I wrong about these? If not, should we be prioritizing climate over some types of recycling? Climate seems like a more pressing issue to me.
They were 1 in 100 in a new (gigantic) game - smart phones. Sometimes an existing company will win. They happened to have a good set of people with the right skillset for the new game (phones basically became mini computers) so maybe it was really 1 in 5, but it wasn't a sure thing they would win in the new game. And I'll bet $1 they won't win in the next new game and everyone will lament what happened to the $3 trillion company who couldn't innovate.

I lost all my youth code to a monkey virus (nasty boot sector propegator that someone placed on a computer in the college where my mom was studying nursing). Before I knew what was going on it had spread to every floppy and hard drive that I had and had destroyed all the data. Three years of work gone. At that age it felt like most of my life had evaporated.

It was almost ten years before I started building serious personal projects again.
I'll have to take you at your word as I don't have experience where you live. Here, friendly requests tend to be much less formal. As a further example, suppose my dog was in my back yard barking, and this annoys my neighbor. They approach me about it:

> "Hey, neighbor, your dog is bothering us. Could you take it inside?"

Typical response: "Oh, sorry! Sure. Come here, pooch!"

> "Hello neighbor. According to county code section 23, 'Nuisances', paragraph 3, 'Pets', your dog can't bark for more than one minute without violating the ordinance and being subject to a fine of not more than $85."

Typical response: "Get off my property, and if your kid ever throws a baseball at my house again, I'm going to launch it through your front window."

Normal-person requests are usually formulated like "hi, can you do this thing for me?" even if the person being asked is obligated to do it. Citing law is considered an aggressive escalation.
