The datacenter product also seems geared towards people reselling Atlassian stacks. For example there's a company that offers HIPAA compliant Confluence (complete with signing a BAA, so you can actual store PHI on it). It doesn't seem like a great replacement for the server version.
> It's not a synonym for "goods", because only one type of thing was ever "wares"; software. It's just for dividing up the sections of your piracy BBS into, like "filez" (files, multi-kilobyte textfiles full of instructions on how to make bombs etc), "imagez", "warez", etc.

Citation needed there.

I have always assumed it came from fleamarkets where people selling pirated VHS films and knock-off Rolexes would be described as “selling their wares”. Changing the s to a z was an obvious step in 90s internet culture.
Caveat: this is going to be a meta comment rather than a comment about the topic proper, and so maybe not appropriate for HN, but I think it's worth discussing.

> It sounds like you've been hurt by the some terrible management practices, I'm truly sorry that some managers think their job is to control their subordinates.

When we assume someone was hurt, and imply they hold an opinion only because they were hurt, we risk delegitimizing their position. The interpolated message we might be sending is "your experience is personal and not representative of the subject at hand, and so your thoughts are only applicable to your situation; so, after we express our sympathy, your thoughts can be dismissed." Or the message we might be sending can be patronizing: "you hold your opinion for emotional, rather than rational, reasons; I'm sorry that you are so unfortunate."

To be clear, though, I'm sure this wasn't your intent, and it makes me glad to see someone being compassionate (i.e. that you bothered to consider the experiences and feelings of the parent commenter).

A personal story: I was raised devoutly religious but left the church in my twenties. My family and friends assumed I left because I wanted to be free from guilt, had been hurt by a culture that belied the doctrine, and so on (and they said as much). My change of belief occurred after recovering from a few years of mental illness, and while it is true that I may not have left when I did were it not for the opportunity to reexamine my beliefs (while trying to piece back the fragments of my life into a sense of self), the reasons why I left were the result of a lot of research and thinking. It was mildly frustrating when people assumed my decision was made for emotional convenience, when in reality, the research was uncomfortable and contemplating an unfamiliar universe was scary.

I recognize the irony here – the issue I'm highlighting in this comment may be something that only I feel is an issue, born from a personal experience. But I think it's more common than that.
With unmoderated fast neutrons, and critical geometry your startup will be always exceptionally close to booming and taking over a huge flank of the market.
It wouldn't be a six hour argument if he just said "You are right, I'll clean up after myself".
The article in Nature quotes an energy density of 2.38 w/cm^2. Which means a Gw battery would require 10e5 m^2 of absorber surface, exposed directly and at close range to the radiation from molten metal (which is the heat transfer fluid they propose). It has to be direct, and at close range, because the efficiency they quote relies on the absorber reflecting non-absorbed photons directly back into the emitter, where they are re-absorbed as heat and potentially re-emitted.

That's about 25 acres of absorber, and an implied 25 acre surface area of the liquid metal emitter pool.

There is a basic challenge here to the design - the energy storage density for the thermal battery they envision scales as the cube of the characteristic dimension of the plant, but the power density that can be delivered scales only as the square of dimension. Not saying that can't be dealt with in engineering, but it ain't going to make this easier or cheaper.
> We are so rich that our poor are chronically fat

Obesity overwhelmingly affects the very more than it affects the rich. They're also the who lose their legs to diabetes when they can't afford medical treatment.

Basically, having access to calories does not mean that one is "rich" in any way, it's almost totally unrelated.
It's quite possible to add variables to Forth, which means you can pick the best tool.

Keeping computations on the stack then feels similar to the push to keep computations out of the IO monad in Haskell.
I respect Boris Johnson.

Behavior of police is absolutely right, they have done their work.

If opponents think this is too much evil, they should appeal.
5th generation computing[1]. This was an initiative by the Japanese computer industry to create a new class of highly parallel computers specialized for AI, in the early 80s, and primarily programmed in Prolog-like languages. There were people who genuinely believed that the success of this project would leapfrog Japan over the Western computing industry, in other words FOMO.

Perhaps ironically, there are some aspects of this project (parallelism and AI) that are now massively important. It's just that they were ahead of their time on those aspects, and Prolog is now largely a historical bywater.

"Locating, finding, and managing interaction with appropriate help is labor, too."

But not the same kind. And really it's minimal once you find a good shop.

"And it's often a better way of getting the job done, even if the immediately obvious monetary cost is higher."

How so? If I can save $500-2k on maintenance costs every year, that's significant.
The median income is based on multiple income sources, including having more than one job.
In Scotland, "half a loaf" means a loaf. That is, "half a loaf" means an entire loaf; a whole loaf. I once had this explained to me at greatly repetitive length by a drunk man with an incomprehensible Glasgow accent, so you can be sure it is true.
Funnily enough passing out said fliers is exactly what I believe "freedom of speech" is meant to protect.
Why look at the ledger?

They can show up to your house and shoot you.

Censorship-resistance is not an all-or-nothing game, but a gradual refinement.

If you want something where they can't just look at the ledger, look at Zcash:

There are countries with totalitarian governments where you can still make private transactions, as long as you don't get too loud about it. And there are countries where any financial transaction will put your family in labor camp for three generations. Some fancy bits on the internet won't help anyone in a rut like that. Doesn't make them useless.
Sure, but using this logic civilizations themselves are also basically Ponzi schemes.
> I've never seen a product outage last this long

Title should be "Inside the longest outage of all time", without "Atlassian" word in it
> This means that the same string can have a near-infinite number of entropy values?

Yes. Entropy is a subjective measure (like confidence) rather than objective one (like length). Entropy measures an agent's uncertainty about the value of a variable. The entropy of the word "password" would be different for an English speaker and a non-English speaker.

Your question of which password is more secure depends entirely on someone's method of guessing passwords. If someone just tries all single-digit passwords, then all 2-digit passwords, etc, then your passwords would be roughly equally secure. But if they use some other method that guesses more likely passwords first - checking against a database of pre-existing passwords, or first checking passwords with lower Kolmogorov complexity - then your '20a' password would be much less secure. By ordering passwords according to "likelihood", the second approach is essentially also ordering them with respect to entropy.
Sanctions only work that way in a world that doesn't exist - one with 100% agreement and compliance with sanctions at a nation-state level. The reason monetary controls are so critical to sanctions is that they make it more difficult for the countries that don't want to abide by the sanctions to do bypass them. Not impossible, but more difficult.
Schmidhuber has written about recursive self-improvement since his diploma thesis in the 80s: "Evolutionary principles in self-referential learning, or on learning how to learn: The meta-meta-... hook".

Your quote sounds like it could just as well have been from that thesis.
When I swipe my credit card at a store, I say "I spent money at the store", not "I transferred bits in a bank's datacenter somewhere"

Colloquially, when people talk about transfers of wealth, they talk in terms of the people who they belong to, not the literal physical manifestation of the transaction.
I work as a water engineer, specializing in building hydraulic models so water utilities can simulate their network.

A big part of that is calibrating them which can be time consuming, you look through hundreds of options. I create a few web based apps to help grind through these tasks but ultimately they were for my own use as a consultant to close projects quickly.

I did pull out the engine as its own open source library for other to use, and that ended up helping me get my current role where I can now maintain it and be paid at the same time.

What else are you going to do with $304m?
Why wouldn’t said app also be able to programmatically unmute at the os-level?
Agreed. An essential part of blameless engineering culture is "the outage isn't any one person's fault, it's the fault of the tooling and processes for allowing them to do that". Good processes prevent everyone from making the same mistakes.
Why are narcissists, sadists, and manipulators attracted to money? Capitalism undeniably rewards behaviors of the sociopathic end of the spectrum instead of selflessness, idealism, or charity.

The fact that we get some technological benefit/blowback from it is what makes it an accepted structure to society (despite the fact it may be threatening us existentially).

The term "money laundering" is quite the artificial legal category IMO. Money itself is by its very nature intended to "launder". It abstracts away WHATEVER was done to acquire it, to get converted to it, to accumulate it.

Governments have known this for a long time and impose some restrictions and limitations, which the fact that the vast majority money is really just database values/ledger entries rather than gold or silver or paper money (and that is then loaned/leveraged, so even that... anyway), and the IT age makes exchanging that basically a slow two-phase commit with some security.

What is crypto? Reducing even more that government control, oversight, and identity. My god, a sociopath and con man's dream.

Thus is crypto, which is based on security, actually about security? Eh, no. That's just a cover for the con. Have we learned nothing from the twitter "aaaand its gone" joke / shot across the bow?

Depends on the solution, but in many systems snapshots are cheap, like zfs or btrfs. I can imagine ceph snapshots being quite cheap too.

Edit: people use snapshots to compliment backups too, you can do snapshots hourly and back a snapshot up daily. (They don't act as backups, more like "oops" revert solutions, humans are more likely to fail than machines)

If you're using VMware or Hyper-V the backups rely on a dirty "bitmap" of which blocks has been written since last backup so it only has to pull those from the system, this doesn't work with more snapshots for some reason. Enterprise backup solutions will just pull the entire machine and compare what's changed anyways, but you usually get a warning about it. So grumpy admins

Great example of why average is a terrible measure, as the top one percent will include multi-billionaires and centi-millionaires.

I've seen far worse. That said, the compute density is pretty low and the gear is rather older than what you would expect, they clearly are not optimizing for power efficiency but for capital efficiency, which means that as long as they can operate a box profitable they'd rather add more buildings than upgrade their servers. Interesting thermal arrangement, I wonder how well this would work in a fire, it looks like a giant chimney to me but maybe there is some secret sauce.
Don't get your hopes up. The Python feature of this calculator is incredibly disappointing -- it's basically only there as a "checkbox" feature for some European school curricula which require it.

The (Circuit)Python interpreter runs on a SAMD21 microcontroller, which is separate from the main eZ80 processor in the calculator. Python programs are limited to using the 32 KB of memory available in the SAMD21, run slowly, and have limited access to the hardware features of the calculator.
We have these all over the UK, can't say I've ever spotted anything crawling in or around them though.
I wrote an expense splitting web app that works with multiple currencies and can export transactions in a format compatible with GNU Cash (that I use) and Excel (that my partner uses). Before that we were using an existing solution (Tricount) but its limitations regarding currencies and export meant that we always made mistakes.
> she mostly starts negotiating rules that we both can agree upon instead of starting a fight

If only more people did this in all walks of life. Rather than get angry at teammates when they do something that annoys us, we can negotiate a mutually beneficial working agreement. We need to have the courage and self-control to approach these conversations when we see friction, and ask for compromise rather than demand change. And we need to have good faith.
What do you do if the on-premises guy gets hit by a car and isn't in his office?
The article starts out talking about homelessness, high housing prices, and people leaving the state in droves, but then pivots to pinning the high energy rates on green energy initiatives.

California has such a huge housing deficit at this point that people really have no option except to move out. The point where they are losing the population equivalent of 3 mid size cities every year while still maintaining a housing crisis.
I remember finding out one of the senior managers from my company ended up as head of software at Atlassian. It was at that point I was convinced Atlassian has no idea what the hell they're doing. I think this demonstrates the point nicely.

Wait. What? None of the enterprise customers want to share data with each other. And definitely not on a DB level. That should happen in the business logic.

Yes - I wrote a full DVD authoring workflow to take weekly anime fansubs and produce finished DVDs for friends with either bad internet connections or who preferred to watch in their living rooms.

This was before having an HTPC or media center was a mainstream idea.

All you did was add in the video files sorted by file name in a subdirectory and add a main menu image template, a main menu audio file, and episode select image template (the layouts were static so that the same dvdauthor XML could be used) and it would stitch together a DVD with an intro video, main menu screen with subtitle, play, and episode select options, and generate episode select screens by taking thumbnails from the video files.

Last time I used it was about five years ago before same day/date streaming of anime really took off. I still hack on it from time to time. I don't really have a use for the output, but it's nice to maintain it as the tools it use change/update and as I learn new things.
" ... renaming many files ..."

I think folks should be aware of 'vimv' which opens your pwd in an editor and you just edit your filenames in 'vi' ... and all of the renaming happens upon saving and quitting.

"people are probably better programmers than cooks, on average."

Maybe. I think cooking is just a different type of programming, with neat hacks, syntax to follow, etc. Garbage in, garbage out is especially applicable too.

Also, who is losing their mind over my wife not cooking?

I believe everyone who eats should know how to cook at least a few basic things. Just like anyone who wears clothes should know how to wash them. Etc
They are aiming at heavy industry use where weight should't be a problem. From the site:

> A detrimental side of iron fuel that it has a relatively low specific energy density. Therefore, it cannot be used in applications in which weight is of importance such as cars, trucks and planes. Also, it can only be transported in an economic manner by ship or train. However, most of the heavy industries are located on railways or waterways. Therefore, iron fuel is applicable to those industries.
> They can help, but the lesson I got from this is they cannot replace support from fellow humans.

I think what's lost in the shuffle is that the phrase "guaranteed to" - all drugs are not guaranteed to work for all people, what matters is what is the likelihood that they can help any given individual, also taking into consideration the associated risks (both of taking and not taking).

I'm just noting this because it would be easy for someone to take away from this conversation the notion that psychedelics are necessarily dangerous, as it is possible that they are as safe or even safer than the thousands of other medications people take, and, some people are in situations where not taking a chance could very well end in death (suicide), especially those who live in areas where assisted trips (legal or not) are not available.

This design is photovoltaics, just like solar, but optimized for infrared photons. There is no avoiding the reality that energy storage density will scale as the cube of the facility size, but power density only as the square. And at 2.38 w/cm^2, the scale coefficient is not all that great.
Sanctions are war.
I've had instability issues with specific GNOME or KDE releases in combination with certain drivers (notably, you guessed it, written by NVIDIA) so at least Ubuntu vs Kubuntu matters. My laptop's touchpad only supports proper gestures with Wayland, which means disabling the NVIDIA drivers (or waiting for the next holy grail of GPU drivers, the current ones aren't the promised holy grail yet on laptops) is required for me to get the touchpad working. Because I value the ability to attach an external screen, I've instead switched back to X11, which means no gestures and therefore only partial touchpad functionality.

I don't know how much the other versions of Ubuntu differ, they all seem relatively minimal in comparison.
This is pretty easy with Jira. There's a GitHub plugin which links PRs and commits to a ticket, and a GitHub plugin that links ticket numbers back to Jira tickets.

And you generally do them both at a lower level than tickets, certainly commits, so you don't want to have too much automation between them as that starts adding constraints.

I once wrote a program to scrape the logs from some printers so I could keep track of how much paper and ink was being used. It was just for fun but I showed it to my teammates and we ended up turning it into a leaderboard of who used the least amount of resources. Then they replaced the printers and I didn't feel like redoing it.
