One, that wifi bandwidth is being shared by everyone around you. Ideally, you'll only have about 4 peers for your given hotspot, but most companies are a bit more... frugal... than that. Two, that WiFi is going through those same routers. Just sayin'.

The paper shows that for databases requiring durability and redo logging, O_DIRECT is a good idea for safety.

I do enjoy working with O_DIRECT. I find it works best when designing systems from the ground up for O_DIRECT. It leads to a very simple system in the end that works equally well on block devices, which is a good place to be. And the performance gains by not thrashing the CPU cache through memcopies to the page cache are nice.
A technical reading of the license suggests that the licensee can choose one of three options, the first of which is "Free and Open Source, no support", which fits the OP needs and is also the one offered in the LICENSE.txt of the repository. Nothing in that license offer requires them to pick the second - "commercial" - option for commercial use as the other two options don't prohibit commercial use, and if other offers (e.g. that MIT license in the LICENSE.txt) are made.

So I there's no reason for the licensor to assume that the commercial offer was chosen and that the licensee agreed to that 2% withholding, much less a 30% one.
> The users all want the same things.

Please don't speak for everyone. It's exactly this patronizing we-know-better-than-you attitude that makes users hate their corporate software vendors.

I knew someone would immediately reply with this straw man as soon as they saw mention of old Windows. I said user policies are pointless for a single-user desktop. It's irrelevant whether dave and samantha can access the audio device in john's session because dave and samantha don't exist on john's personal computer and he sure ain't running an ssh daemon for them.

Hm, makes sense. But if I were in their shoes, moving the fingerprint out of the metadata would be the first thing to do then, so no easy solution then I guess.
Why do you think that?

I agree it's getting worse, but this is not a new phenomenon. I don't have evidence to hand but this is something I've noticed for at least ten years. It usually undermines content trust and value, especially on more professional sites (you can expect it on news clickbait sites but national/international news sites and other generally reputable sites do it too)

Show HN: Infracost (YC W21) – Open-source cloud cost policies
Hi, we’re Ali, Hassan and Alistair, co-founders of Infracost (https://www.infracost.io/). Infracost shows engineers the cost of each Terraform change in CI/CD before resources are launched. When something changes, it posts a comment with the cloud cost impact. e.g. you’ve added 2 instances and volumes, and have changed an instance type from medium to large, this will increase your bill by 25% next month from $1000 to $1250 per month.

We launched the first version of Infracost just under a year ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26064588). As we said in our first release ‘the people who are purchasing cloud resources are not shown costs upfront, so they don’t know how much the resources will cost before launching them’. Our assumption was that because we are open source and engineers are flying blind, they (the engineers) would pull us into their workflow. Actually, something different is happening:

The engineers are not pulling us in - it turns out to be the senior DevOps, SREs and platform teams. One of their challenges is figuring out how their small team of 7 people can fulfill the infrastructure requirements of hundreds of engineers. To solve this, they have created and put in place processes for engineers to provision infrastructure when they need. Now they want to implement cost policies and guardrails so that these hundreds of engineers don’t blow past all budgets. For example, if a change will result in a higher than 15% increase, leave a warning. If a change results in a >25% increase in costs, block the change till a team lead has reviewed it.

This has two implications for us. First, we need to create an output that isn’t only used by humans but is also digested into other systems to make further decisions. The second is the people we have been speaking to are not our end users. We need to figure out how we can get introduced to our end users, and create a different set of questions for each persona.

We’d really love your feedback around the cost policies use-case. We've created examples with standard policy tools like Open Policy Agent (OPA), HashiCorp Sentinel and Conftest. Check out the repo for GitHub Actions at https://github.com/infracost/infracost. Our other CI/CD integrations are listed here: https://www.infracost.io/docs/#4-add-to-cicd.

We'd love to hear how you think about policies and guardrails for containing cloud costs!

> full PostgreSQL compatibility

By "full", you mean "some"? From [the documentation] on Spanner's PostgreSQL Interface:

> This means that applications written against the PostgreSQL interface can be readily ported to another PostgreSQL environment, obviously without the non-functional benefits, like scalability and availability, that are unique to Cloud Spanner. However, 100% compatibility with PostgreSQL is not the goal.

> The PostgreSQL interface provides a rich subset of the open-source PostgreSQL SQL dialect, including common query syntax, functions, and operators

It seems like existing simple Postgres applications could switch to Spanner, but it does require running a sidecar if your app wants to continue speaking the Postgres protocol on the wire, instead of integrating a Spanner API client.

When it comes to [datatypes], Spanner's PostgreSQL interface is very limited. According to the docs, only these types are supported:

> bool, bytea (byte array), float8 (64-bit IEEE-754 float), int8 (signed 64-bit int), numeric/decimal, timestampz, text.

Notably missing for [my use-case] are UUID, JSON/JSONB, array types like UUID array, and custom enum types. The indexing support is also quite sparse. Full Postgres compatibility, this is not :(

Being able to operate on expressions before they reach the compiler is very handy.

Consider how ergonomic testing is thanks to macros: https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/stdlib/Test/

Here's an example of passing quasi-json to a plotting function: https://www.queryverse.org/VegaLite.jl/stable/userguide/vlpl... . This lets you essentially transliterate a VegaLite spec into Julia without needing to translate it into Julia.

Finally, macros that operator on dataframes let you write code that looks kind of like SQL, and is much more pleasant than working with functions: https://dataframes.juliadata.org/stable/man/querying_framewo...

-O0 doesn't change what the compiler code generation is allowed to do around UB. Optimizing tends to expose UB by producing undesired operation, but the optimizer is only allowed to make transformations that result in the code still complying with the standard. So code generation without the optimizer could still produce undesired operation, and turning the optimizer off is no guarantee that it'll do what you want.
Yep, but, you see, it is not like a "success story" (so that you can actually say "you should do it", or - possibly better - "it worked for me") nor a "defeat story" (so that you actually can say "you shouldn't do it" or - again possibly better - "it didn't work for me"), right now it is just "I did something, I have no idea what will happen next, you should do the same" which - put in these terms - doesn't sound like "good" advice.
Only the hash horizon made of proof of work will protect you.
Consider a hypothetical scenario: there is a fire in the woods and the government says "do not go into the woods". People choose to go to the woods and return as burnt victims. Hospitals should help these individuals, but if they fill up 100% of the hospital beds and we need to turn people who got hurt due to accidents who then die, the fault is on those who chose to go into the dangerous woods.

It may be the case that implementing a policy of vacating beds of burn victims is too challenging, but that doesn't undermine the "should" in the "we should vacate beds of voluntarily hurt when accidentally hurt need the beds".
Wow!

I have been a really advanced Google user and somehow I have missed that particular one!

Thinly veiled content marketing for Zyppy, complete with CTA at the bottom, and mentions of themselves throughout, including: "Fortunately, here at Zyppy, we have a large database of titles thanks to our title tag analysis tool.

Furthermore, "HTLM" instead of "HTML"? Needs proofreading. Lol.
You can make up all the laws you want, you aren't blocking access to eth.
It seems like a good first goal would be to dramatically reduce the size of the code base you need to trust (especially complex code with high privilege), and focus on verifying the correctness of that code base. Then, have fine-grained encapsulation mechanisms for things that do need some level of privilege, and especially avoid conflating "can administer the system" and "can access all user data" levels of privilege.

As an example, although one that practically seems to have turned out harder to do than the authors expected, take a look at HiStar: http://www.scs.stanford.edu/histar/

Let's leave the algae talk out of this!
I think "natural language" is underspecified. E.g. it probably wouldn't be that hard to write some kind of templating engine that takes an XSL schema and outputs something resembling plain English. Except, the output would likely read like the most horrible legalese you can imagine.

Then you have some like the algorithmic definitions that proliferate most of the web platform/HTML5 specs. Those are all "cookbook style" lists of steps written in plain English - and it's easy to understand what an individual step does. However, understanding what the whole algorithm does - or even more, why it does what the spec says - is just as hard as it would be with code or pseudocode.
Substitute "this is a terrible idea and I love it" if you want. ;)

> Let's stay focused. There are so many implicit assumptions you're taking as granted, I'm starting to doubt this is even an argument in good faith.

I share your doubts that this is a good faith argument, in particular, you keep responding to arguments that I patently didn't make:

> For one, code is not secret.

I didn't claim code was secret, I claimed that we should secure secrets and prevent attackers from executing routines that they shouldn't have permissions to execute.

> Secondly, when was this discussion scoped to profitable organizations?

I didn't scope the conversation to profitable organizations, I mentioned that profitable organizations often secure their applications. I'm giving you an example and you bizarrely think I'm limiting the conversation only to that example. You do the same thing here as well (and suggest that I'm the one who isn't focused):

> This argument weakens the entire stance, because it shifts the goalpost from "this thing is good" to "this thing is legally required."

Again, I give "in some cases security is even required" and you take it as "we're no longer talking about other reasons for which security is beneficial".

Honestly, the "monolith vs microservice" question is interesting, but it's not interesting to debate someone who is bent on responding to arguments I clearly didn't make. :) Whether you're being obtuse on purpose or by accident, this conversation has become dull, and I'm ducking out of it.

I actually made a spark gap "receiver" when I was a kid following some plans I found. I used a rubber tube with a metal rod in one end, then filled partially with iron filings I made from filing a pipe, then stuck another metal rod to plug the other end of the tube slightly compressing the filings. I then placed a LED, resistor and battery in series with the device. If the LED turns on, flick the device until it is off. Then place next to my gas stove and click the gas spark igniter. If all goes well, the spark will iron align some of the iron filings to create a conductive path and the LED will turn on. Flick again to turn off.
They were being snarky. Nobody would say "I want to control your body" (well, not in this context anyway).

A better way to phrase it would probably be "Why should anyone be able to tell me what to do with my body?" (and another sentence or two elaborating on the thought)
> It shouldn't be clearer - the plugin author should require an affirmative response from the developer that they accept those terms.

Ehh, I disagree. We all know developers would click through any terms without reading anyway and the onerous is on us to read the license before we integrate 3rd party code, which we rarely do. I see this as /just deserts/, a sort of hat tip and "well played sir". The 30% that is not mentioned is the sticking point, the 2% is absolutely reasonable and I might even say I'd think 30% is reasonable IF it had been called out in the license.
Well, the VS solutions (and the asm code) are both "contrib", so Mark Adler does not assume responsibility for either (which is fair - he has been stewarding this library for 30 something years already...). It could be made clearer that contrib does not come with the same implied fitness for purpose as the main library, but then open source licenses already disavow any and all such fitness in the first place...

I also really appreciate my time alone after my wife goes to bed, but we have a 3 month old baby now and I’m assuming once she’s a couple years older that’ll no longer be an option. I also have a hard time deciding between doing something fun for myself (like playing a video game) guilt-free or getting work done during that time.

As an aside, I’d think our sex life would be better if we went to bed together. As it stands right now it’s something we need to specifically decide to do, and I’m guessing with couples that go to bed together there’s more of an assumption there.
Ignoring the political and normative debate, I'd like to stress how complex the ultimate goal is: user satisfaction.

It's often surprisingly complicated to even find out what people want, even to themselves. And the game is partly rigged against search engines, because people typically don't remember the numerous successful searches, rather focusing on negative experiences.

I do think search engines have a (or numerous) problem, but the solutions are all non-trivial.

[edit] my favorite summary of the problems of fairness in search is the paper "The politics of search" by Laura Granka: https://static.googleusercontent.com/media/research.google.c...

Annoyance 1 almost made me give up on the AirPods until I found that setting, I'd often have my phone at the very edge of bluetooth range and so it would keep reconnecting to it while listening to music from my laptop. I much prefer just explicitly connecting to the pods from the device I want to use, though this is more steps than it should be on iOS.
It only sounds good on paper

But I’ve had a small garden for years and it’s 100% not worth it due to the small yield and extremely high labor.

And just because you have a small garden does not mean agricultural pests are easily managed… in fact they are still absolutely a massive problem.

Big farms are 100% better suited at growing crops. An hour I spend on my garden is probably only 30 seconds on a large farm if you compare on yield.

To be fair to the devs, that's an education gap. The response should be "You want us to develop a solution to a third party's whims? Maybe you should try writing them a nice letter about how their representation of our company affects our image; it'll have as much impact. Possibly more."

In real corporations, of course, that's not how it works because the tech people are "wizards" and Google is "part of the wizard stuff," but this isn't a technical problem (and maybe marketing needs to stop trying to control another company; that's no more likely to succeed than Coke yelling at Amazon that they don't always put Coke products at the top of every search result).
I am fairly sure there would be constitutional issues with banning it. After all its just some characters/a string. We went through a lot of this with the cryptography wars in the 90s
According to this[1] you'd have ordinary workers earning 22 shillings p/w (£57.2p/y) and highest skilled labourers (firemen) sometimes earning £300, but yes the average wage seemed to be around 150[2]. (I think most people googling the average 1920s wage are getting the Australian-Victoria data accidentally, which is a bit higher, but it's still in the same ballpark) I think the Christie's equivalent today to US household income would then be 67000*700/150 = 313,000

Manufactured items SHOULD always be getting cheaper, that's part of capitalism & progress. Humans & buildings don't follow that same curve. So to attempt to compare those with items is folly.
