It’s because it makes zero sense for me to care about how many requests I send when I have my own server.

The limit is basically 31 x 24 x 3600 x [req per second server can handle]

Even at a relatively low rate of 10rps that is 26M requests per month.

Now putting a demo environment at 2 rps per second for a whole month is pretty generous, but until I took the time to calculate it, it sounded like a pretty bad value proposition to me (even though I probably make less than 1000 requests per day).

I won't be told to shut up by you or anybody else for that matter, nine years on HN and this is what brings you out to comment with a bunch of disinformation? Pretty clear which side you are on.
Change of plans, sir. Huge fight just started in my Javascript community - someone just pushed a new version of some extension and it's now injecting ads. Big drama sir. I'll report to duty next week - need to post angry emojis on the project's github repo till then.
Russia's economy is smaller than even Italy's.
Yes.

But that's C. You can't fix it without fundamentally altering the language.
This is crap.

9 Eastern European countries in the former Soviet sphere joined NATO and the EU and are currently going through one of their longest periods of growth and peace in their history.

There can be no long term prosperity with Russia.
> Variable length arrays being the biggest one.

The kernel already used VLAs as an extension, and is currently in the process of removing them from all the code using them.
Wow, this looks to potentially save my team hundreds of hours of work. This product and its aims are nearly 1:1 with a massive Postgres extension project we were to start developing next quarter. Who should I get in touch with to see about us contributing instead to Oriole? I would love for our team to support the project with man hours and possibly financial support as well, as it seems this will accelerate our project significantly.
Of all the disgusting comments this really takes the cake.

Russian economic development through war doesn't save Russian babies, it will kill them.

Yeah, but they didn’t actually adress the problem they stated customers had in their own blog post.

I've been hiring a JS engineer at Pabio (YC S21) and I like to have an hour-long discussion with applicants instead of a whiteboard/live coding challenge as part of the process. One of the questions I ask is "Explain the first ten or so lines of the Twitter source code to me" and we go through the HTML source code of twitter.com line-by-line. It's always fun and Chris from CSS Tricks liked the idea so I wrote a blog post!

Given that only Cale is left standing I was very concerned what Zelensky and the Ukraine government thought a single Welsh musician could do against the might of the Russian military.
I think it’s Univers, designed by Swiss type designer Adrian Frutiger in the mid-50s. The lower-case ‘a’ was the first glyph I saw distinguishing it from Helvetica and Helvetica Neue, and the uppercase ‘R’ was the first I noticed distinguishing it from Helvetica Now, Arial and Frutiger.

There’s a zillion fonts that look like Helvetica/Univers/Akzidenz-Grotesk but most professional treatments will just use one of those and make sure it’s leaded, kerned, weighted and laid out properly. The Helvetica documentary is a fun watch that will also give a useful overview of these sorts of type families.

The differences are pretty subtle. Though the typeface is beautiful, a less skillful design would render it unremarkable. The typesetting and overall design— i.e. contrast, relationship among elements, controlling the path of the eye with visual hierarchy, etc.— is What makes the type really shine here. If you like this vibe, you might enjoy the posters of long-time MIT graphic designer Jacquelin Casey.
I expect as tensions escalate between the NATO and Russia there will be more cyber-skrimishes, so whether many of us in the west want to or not, there is a high chance we will be responding in a defensive ways. Stay vigilant.
Urban resistance is a thing. It's super painful as you're destroying cities, but it's a thing.
Would that make it an excellent stronghold? A force could hold there without fear of bombardment and set up artillery and the like.

Makes me wonder if you could use something similar in a more portable sense, like a large amount of nuclear waste carried with a company over enemy ground.

To be clear, I don't think Russia's doing this, but it's an interesting tactic to think about.
I just donated to the Ukrainian army. They’re people too, and deserve the best medical and logistic support money can buy.

The ruling class in Moscow isn’t just attacking some other ruling class. They’re attacking _my_ Europe.

I don’t care about any military-industrial complex, or even the military in general.
But the moment that some misguided person decides to launch rockets at Europe, I’m not willing to just sit back and let that happen.

Yes, roaming is an explicit goal of MPTCP. MPTCP even contains a "break before make" functionality. If you think about it there's two options:

1. Make a new connection subflow on your new IP address, while still holding onto the old IP address and subflow. Once this is done, you can close the old connection and disconnect your old network interface. This is "make before break" and it is limited to those who actually have two separate network interfaces, and can only be used if they overlap (e.g. wifi connections plus a persistent LTE connection).

2. Break the existing subflow in a way that the higher-level MPTCP session management knows that you don't want to tear down the whole connection. Then, roam to a new IP address, and re-connect to the server using your new IP. So long as you cryptographically prove you're the same client (which MPTCP already requires), then you can re-establish the same logical connection. The MPTCP socket never "disconnected", and the application (in this case, SSH) continues to believe it has one connection. This is break-before-make.

MPTCP break before make is awesome because it's one of the few benefits which is available for single-homed clients. You don't need multiple interfaces (e.g. ethernet, wifi, and lte) to benefit from it!
Dude. Get a new workplace or coworkers then. This sounds awful. Nothing like this where I work. Generally just awesome.

Yeah, my favorite model of how git operates is "rewind all the way back to RCS, add atomic commits and take it from there".

SVN, baz/bzr and friends are what you get if you add networking before atomic commits. Git is what you get if you start with the proper data model and only then add networking.

I am extremely excited about Dahlia and the work your team is doing. HN has a significant cohort of people who are extremely opinionated about how OS UI/UX should work.

This strategy handles that fine as long as none of those branches lasts from before step 2 until the optional step 6. You pull from a long-lived branch, get a compile error because it calls select_nospec, do the replacement at that callsite, and commit. A headache but a manageable one. If you want to backport new features to old stable kernel versions, you can include a patch supplying select_nospec_unsafe as a synonym for select_nospec.
It's down, already ;-)
And they now learned what a serious naive mistake that was. As a german I am ashamed that we did not accept frances offer of a shared nuclear arsenal when we could. We cowardly hide under the umbrella of french nuclear deterrence, yet chose not to get our hands dirty and take the responsibility on ourselves

There's plenty of approximately unchecked sectors of the economy. Eg software or computer hardware.

I am surprised with your Gnome issues. I am running Ubuntu 20.04 with the stock Gnome and restart only for the kernel updates. It is my daily work system and I just put it to sleep at the end of the day.

My issues on Linux are normally always coming from non open source software (VMware, Zoom, ...).

What I found helpful is to do a full reinstall of the OS instead of an upgrade and carefully bring back the "dot" folders with my configurations.

> The Jones act, for instance, is good for US shipworkers, and for enforcement of US shipping laws, but moderately bad for Hawai'i, and really, really bad for Puerto Rico.

Alas, the Jones Act isn't actually good for US shipworkers in general. The Jones Act makes it so that there are nearly no US shipworkers in the first place.

(However, the few US shipworkers that do exist are to a certain extent protected by the Jones act.)

I mean, yeah, that's like saying that water is wet. Every "humanitarian reasons" organization is a smoke screen for some kind of power play.

> I think the US just wants them to be poor so, it can enjoy its hegemony forever.

Nah, I think this is more stupidity than malice. The regime and its staff, in spite of all the travel and internships and all the rest, really are absolutely clueless about the way that the rest of the planet lives.

Who are you talking about? So far the free world has trumped everything and keeps going from strength to strength.

Russia has a tiny and impoverished economy.

China is still rather poor. (And only started to grow richer when they reformed in the direction of economic freedom starting in 1978-ish.)

this reminds me of a small fish that used to visit me during my dives, it would take me to things he found, bottles, coins, shells.

was not the first time it happened because the same fish with the same markings (im quite sure of it) would visit me.

so im thinking what is going on here? how is it that a fish is able to recognize me in my gear and comes to me in the same vicinity?

it appears to be communicating too by leading me to stuff he finds. it lets me even pet it which it seems to enjoy.

again i dont know what its thinking but from these actions one might strongly conclude that there is some sort of sentient mutual awareness and that its able to engage in both recognition, my presence and subtle communication (by showing me treasures he find)

I guess my point is perceiving feelings is not limited between two humans only (obviously super tough with text alone, it is something else.
What you consider misinformation and propaganda I may consider valuable vantage points.

I also should point that any defense of the freedom of speech also defends freedom of misinformation and propaganda.

That's exactly what he just threatened to do.
Could somebody help me understand what exactly this is? The description tells about 2D rendering, and it seems that it sits on top of, for example, Vulkan, so my best guess it is a 2D rendering library to be used in games or other applications (as opposed to, say, a compositor, hardware driver, OpengL implementation, Vulkan implementation, or whatever else it could be).

Background: This actually seems related to a pet project of mine, tinkering with graphics rendering on an FPGA. An application-side 2D renderer would be very interesting to me to better understand the application side of it, when building the hardware side. Especially when it is a renderer that uses a presumably modern approach of using shaders for everything, making the hardware side insanely flexible, and because there are already plenty of other renderers to understand a static rendering pipeline.
Speech is cheap in the West.

Its not what is being discussed here. C++ has an implementation defined memory model. That just cannot work with Linux out of the box. You need an OS and compiler designed from the ground up to handle this.
Yes there is.

Egg farms grind male chicks alive. They burn off the tip of the hens beak without anesthesia (which we know is high in nerves) so they don’t fight each other in captivity; which they don’t do nearly as much in nature because surprise surprise they’re not as stressed. Hens laying eggs every single day of their lives (because they’re taken away daily) live much much shorter lives and develop physiological issues more often. When they’re finally exhausted after a few short years and stop producing as much, they’re turned into chicken nuggets or broth cubes.

Cows producing milk are constantly inseminated. Maybe they don’t care or maybe it’s a form of rape. Nevertheless, their calves are taken away from them shortly after they’re born (so they don’t eat the milk instead of the factory) and slaughtered. Cows call for their missing baby for several days. Dairy cows are also living much much shorter lives (imagine how long a human that does nothing but give birth would live) and are turned into hamburgers afterwards.

Not to mention cheese which need casein to be made and that can’t be obtained without killing cows as it’s the acid in their stomach, basically.

So, yes, eating milk or eggs doesn’t directly require the animal to die. But it’s so close and it enables such a cruel, abhorrent, and revolting meat industry that it’s impossible in my opinion to ethically justify eating eggs and milk (let alone meat or fish)
You also don’t usually need connection pooling with MySQL because it can handle thousands of simultaneous connections without falling over.
NATO is a de facto enemy of Russia. The entire point of the alliance is to defend against Russia. That includes most of the EU.
Some of best friends were coworkers. It makes sense. We have a shared background and a shared interest. We already spend 1/2 of the time awake together, so why not more?

I think your real complaint is socializing at the office. I had a German coworker once who complained about the same thing. He said,

"In Germany we come to work at 9am, we work until 4pm with a 15 minute break for lunch, and we don't talk to anyone about anything other than work. Then we go to the beer hall and drink and chat until 7pm and then go home to our family. Here in America I come to work at 9am, chat with my coworkers all day about personal things, take a 1 hour lunch to chat some more, and then go home at 7pm. It's the same amount of work but none of the drinking!".

> [...] developed a form of encryption which was uncrackable.

No, you didn't.

> When I say it was uncrackable, it was based loosely on code books which were used in ww2, which is something I subsequently read about later on in the news.

Could you please elaborate? Code books only work when both parties have a copy. Obviously for an app, you need to assume that the attackers have access to the app.
Arduino, ARM mbed, Symbian, macOS, Windows, BeOS, IBM i and z/OS accepted the work of C++ proponents.

There is nothing when can do to change political views.

And lets not pretend that Rust in the kernel won't suffer from creative uses of macros, and there is still a big laundry list of issue to fix before it actually makes it.

Or that for the time being, Rust compilers need to link to C++ code to actually work, at least until Cranelift is a match in code quality against LLVM or GCC.

So in the end Linus gets C++ into the kernel, even if indirectly.
That, along with North Korea, only shows you that it is, within the global game of influence, pretty stupid to give up a nuclear capability once you have it.
Nah, by fresh I mean caught, loaded from a boat onto a truck with ice and driven to its destination.

The miracle of the National Highway System makes Boston to San Diego a 50 hour possibility. Surely the people of Springfield Missouri would be fine with iced, fresh, 20 hour old fish caught off the coast of Connecticut! You can get an entire boat of fish from the Gulf Coast to Kansas City same day by road.

Delaware to Louisville is what 8 hours? But why bother, fresh mussels from Lake Erie don't even have to leave the state, can by caught in the morning after breakfast and eaten for lunch a couple hours later.

The Highway System is almost a century old. That's a few generations time to change preferences.

I watched an Anthony Bourdaine episode where he visited Japan and saw the live octopus that would later be slaughtered for his dinner. He was very excited by it.

I looked at the same octopus and not once did the thought, "food" enter my mind. It's the same when I look at cows and chicken.. I don't think of them as food when I see them roaming about. On the other hand, when I see a fish, I do sometimes think, "food!".

I think this would make for a good test when deciding whether or not you should eat a particular animal. When you look at it alive and roaming about, do you think "oh, thats food!". If not, then maybe you shouldn't eat it.
"Swift and severe" is taken from a quote from the Secretary of the Treasury. I mean, anything is possible, but I don't think the U.S. Treasury is employing SEO tactics in the headlines of their press releases.
We do have US nukes stationed in Germany for that very reason. rather old tech nukes, but still. This gives Germany a seat at the NATO table about nuclear strategy. If push comes to shove, German Tornado fighter jets are going to carry those nukes into combat.
> And most importantly, economics assumes that the market is perfect, which it most certainly is not in practice.

What makes you think economics makes that assumption? The economics literature is full of papers investigating various kinds of market imperfections. (Mostly because all the papers involving perfect markets have already been written. It's publish or perish in academia after all.)

> It's worth noting that Taiwan is in a similar situation with respect to China. They are being threatened with invasion, but have no formal military alliances with nuclear powers. Judging from the U.S.'s reaction to the invasion of Ukraine, the U.S. would do little more than apply sanctions if China invaded Taiwan. Not unless the U.S. has special feelings for Taiwan that it does not have for Ukraine at any rate.

This is wildly incorrect. The US actually had a defense agreement with Taiwan at one point, but dropped the defense provision in the 70's for rapprochement with China. However, Taiwan has been a US ally since WW2, and has at times stationed many troops there. This is not even close to true about Ukraine.

Not to mention a Chinese invasion of Taiwan would be almost trivially easy for the US to stop. It's an island, and the US has naval and air supremacy.
