Depending on your definition of success, I'd say determined to succeed could well be the same thing as obidience.

It all depends on the community you want to hang out in. Usenet was tech-focused because the only people who knew about it or had access were tech-focused and the community was smaller (see: Eternal September).

One of your best options are niche, smaller or heavily moderated reddit communities or web forums that share the same characteristics.
Makes sense. Yeah its not the pharmacists fault, its corporate who has no pulse on whats going on. Or they just dont care.

Love this style of interactive posts. I recently had to solve the same problem for my own app and did it pretty similarly.
Amazing that the Internet culture that vehemently opposed DRM and created things like bit torrent so quickly lined up behind algorithmic content moderation.

There's a strange pattern of pairing a non-profit initiative with a totally unrelated product. I can't imagine the same organization is going to get great at both web search and environmentalism.

I'd love to be proven wrong though!
Why a $5 VPS? Why not a $25 VPS in a reputable rackshack that has at
least triple off-site redundancy? You get what you pay for and the
choice isn't only between free and scuzzy, and cheap and scuzzy.
And why is that an argument against hosting the dependencies you have, on your own servers?
I use and am happy with Dropbox. I was an early adopter of Google Drive (to try to save costs) and it never really worked right. There were lots of bugs with the syncing of data. My entire digital world is on Dropbox. I use (and pay for) Google Drive too, but I use it differently.

It works for me because, in theory, all my data is on every HD in my house (which is really just two). So, I don't lose anything if Dropbox deletes my account; I've got it all locally.

That theory doesn't work anymore, however, because I have 399 GB of data in Dropbox and I don't duplicate it all to every machine anymore because of the size and the data transfer required to keep that much locally and in the cloud.

I really do need to start thinking about this again so that I can get it all duplicated locally.

Google Drive and OneDrive both have lots of DLP features and can require MDM as well. Its not like Dropbox is the only cloud storage host with DLP.

Open-source library for rate-limiting in Java
I want to present our library to provide rate-limiting functionality in Java - Bucket4j.
Based on our library, you can limit your API in Java.
Through the Bucket4j, we can work in a distributed environment because we have implementations with many databases, such as Redis, Hazelcast, Apache Ignite, Infinispan, Oracle coherence, Dynamodb, PostgreSQL, MySQL, e.t.c.
Also, we have a considerable API to work with Rate-Limiting:
1) Monitoring API - you can monitor all of your limits in runtime through any monitoring system (dropwizard, prometeus, e.t.c).
2) On-the-fly Configuration replacement - you can replace a configuration with a new configuration and distribute tokens as needed.
3) Diagnostic API - to get detailed information about limits.
4) Batching API - to optimize work with database for high load keys.
5) Blocking API
6) Scheduler API
7) Opportunity to work with multi-bandwidth management
...
And many other APIs.

If you work with Java and need a rate-limiting in your project, please look to Bucket4j.

I watched HBO for free because the decoder was very simple, just an capacitor and a coil.

After that, I watched sattelite TV for free (Digi) because Nagra2 encryption was broken and I could change the firmware of the STB to simulate an encryption card.

I did that because I was dirt poor. Now I don't watch TV anymore.

Some guys I've heard of, were using some Linux powered, Internet connected STB and the actual decryption happened on another STB who had the actual card on. That way, they could watch any sattelite network, provided they also share their paid for card.
One is an objective statement of the world, the other is a subjective statement about you personally.

If these things mean the same to you, you're not parsing the English correctly, which points to a larger comprehension issue that further explains why you didn't get the original sarcasm.
> No content would be produced if nobody was compensated for it.

This is not true. Many if not most artists create art because they enjoy it.

What is true is that middle men like publishers and record labels wouldn’t exist if nobody paid for content. Coincidentally, they are also the ones who push the lie that nobody would make content if they weren’t paid.
Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email hn@ycombinator.com and we'll look at the data.

It's not really doing that, it's under the title bar.
I know slightly too much about the problem space to have questions about how it's implemented, but I just want to say this is one of the neatest presentations I've seen on this site. It's a great article on an interesting topic and made 100x better by the visualisations
I can't give away details/numbers. But I have to say, what you did right here is very impressive.
Sounds like an opportunity for a new company that abstracts away the actual different cloud providers, provides redundancy, and provides a security abstraction layer that prevents cloud hosts from knowing what their segments of files are for.
Why would you link the the super ad-ridden and obnoxious fandom copy of a TV Tropes article?
Show HN: Brows is a multi-panel file browser with a command palette
Rogers and Bell are the two ISPs that between them control the Canadian ISP market. They also own the content publishers (the streaming services and networks) that send bytes over those cables, wires, and allocated public radio spectrum provided by the ISPs. They also own many of the Canadian sports teams that provide the content streamed by those bytes. The NHL is owned by the teams, hence controlled by Bell and Rogers.

What's going on is that the vertically-integrated entertainment/communications cartel is refining its regulatory capture through the judicial branch of of the Canadian government in order to launder artificial restrictions on competition at the expense of consumers and taxpayers. It's how they pay me my big fat dividend checks so I can contribute their massive quarterly profits through my taxes, since I don't watch sports.
There isn't much here to go off of, but a few questions come to mind:

What type of masters is she/he going for?
Which schools are they applying to?

Many schools / programs that you would know, in the US, especially coming from a developing nation, are very prestigious and very competitive. If you want to get a masters in business from Harvard, it's very difficult to get in no matter where you studied and what your grades are.

That being said, if your friend is willing to take classes or research / work at a university, that's a great way to get your foot in the door. Additionally, if your friend has relevant professional experience, those types of recommendations can help. Lastly, do they have compelling reasons to go to that specific school / program and is their admission packet otherwise strong. Finally, are the schools / programs they are applying to realistic, given their academic / professional performance.

Additionally, if they have existing relationships with professors / counselors from their previous school, I would start there. If the university is a credible research institution, they probably have the relationships / infrastructure to help students get into grad school in the US.

Best of luck!
The question is - What are you missing? I suspect you probably miss something that has more to do with the participants.

In the early days of Usenet there were very few ways to access it from the perspective of an average person. You either had to be working on one of the small number of companies that were internet connected or were at a university. That significantly restricted the available pool of people using it, and also filtered that pool.

Up through the early 90s that natural filter mechanism kept the focus of individual groups small, reduced noise, and increased signal. Over time as internet access became more widespread that signal to noise decreased, and most modern forums still have difficulty with it.

There are a few other interesting characteristics - the specific nature of the tree approach and the availability of lots of specific groups gave it some uniqueness - Today you might see a bit of that in Reddit subs, Facebook groups, and other similar platforms, albeit lacking the tree.
I admit I have not used NextCloud, but the hands-off automatic file-sync-between-devices that Syncthing provides has been transparent and seamless. It has required no babysitting after initial set up.

I have forgotten if NextCloud does this, because I don't use NextCloud at this time, nor have I.
I don't think people see that much difference between events from 78 years ago and 172 years ago.

The US expelled the residents of the Bikini Atoll in 1946 to do atomic testing. The UK was expelling Chagossians until 1973.

So those actions make the Tatar (many Tatars collaborated with Nazi Germany in the Nazi invasion of the USSR) incident look like ancient history.
I use Syncthing, which is similar to ResilioSync. Syncthing doesn't have as many features as ResilioSync, but its completely free and open source.

For anyone confused, this is not an "Open Source Cloud" replacement, but and "Open Source" "Cloud Replacement". A way to have the vacuum robot become cloud-free.
I'd love to use this with my Roborock S4, because from what I can tell it works better with the open software than with Xiaomi's cloud software (and you drop the cloud requirement). But from what I remember it's quite an involved process, starting with completely disassembling the device. In hindsight, I should have bought a different device, but back then no such guidance was available.
Can't recommend cables enough. It's free, has a ton of built-in features, allows for completely custom operator development, and has a great development team and community.
To be clear, I find it pleasant to read your comments about still finding use for such devices and I was not specifically writing to you personally. That was a you for the random reader of my comment. Actually, you specifically are not even in the target of my comment, since you still use your old device.
A while ago, File Explorer became almost impossible for me to use. It seemed like every directory I opened caused it to say "Working on it..." and display a green progress bar that never progressed. I tried Directory Opus (www.gpsoft.com.au) and liked it, but it was too easy for me to get lost in its configuration. I tried fman (fman.io) and liked it, too, but it struggled handling some large directories that I frequent.

So, I began writing Brows. Ironically, most of the issues I had with File Explorer seem to have been fixed in the meantime.

Brows is another Commander clone for the Windows 10 desktop (it might work on Windows 7, and it'll probably work on Windows 11). It's a .NET 6 application. In my dreams, Brows is cross-platform, but it currently requires the Win32 API. The MSI installer installs a self-contained executable, so the .NET runtime isn't required on the target machine.

The command palette is what distinguishes Brows from many other Commander clones. I can't do anything anymore without intelliSense and auto-complete. I'm trying to build those two things into a file browser.

The raison d'être of this post is to determine if anyone at all finds this project the least-bit interesting. There's a plethora of file browsers available, most of which I haven't tried, so there could very well be a Commander clone of which Brows is a clone (a Commander clone-clone!) that's already mature and stable.
Power Law Distributions and Digital Apartheid
> When talking about caches, I'm primarily suggesting a paid caching reverse-proxy service, like Cloudflare, Fastly, Cloudfront, Akamai, etc

I'm confused. Where is the difference between using these companies as CDN providers versus using them as cache providers? The only minor difference that I can see is that my server would provide the original copy for every cached item, but this does not mitigate the risk of cache poisoning and the privacy risks that you also encounter with CDNs.

We have an entire industry, devops, that opposes this world view. Manual processes, snowflake developer machines, not testing the deploy piece as part of the process, throwing code over the wall for others to validate. I'm not trying to be a jerk, these are just well known and well documented anti-patterns.

True, though it's stronger than that. Latin was the closest thing to a universal language in Europe at that time, serving a role similar to that of the English language today.
Jordan Peterson had a really good point when asked by a fustrated mother what to do about her son, who was addicted to illegal drugs: the real question isn't why is he addicted, by why isn't everybody? Drugs make you feel amazing.

His answer was that people don't do drugs because they have something else they consider important enough to not do them. Young people who like to drink drink over the weekend, not because they don't want to drink and party more, but that it would hurt their school/job performance too much.

My point is, like ggm, you are not going to have much success replacing social media - you must find something else to do instead.
I don’t disagree, but Snowden and Assange’s legal issues are due to criminal acts, not because of political speech.

You can certainly create justification around those criminal acts being for the greater good, but that doesn’t mean that they are no longer criminal acts.
And any way you look at it, it's clear that Apple wasn't just trying to cripple old phones in an attempt to sell the newer models. They were doing their best to prolong the life and/or maintain a decent experience for the phones that had become outdated.
> If you have 10MB of static files to serve, and they're decently cached, you're looking at the ability to serve on the order of 50-100 new users per second with very realistic setups nowadays that would still be generally considered "entry level" in the modern environment, while in the meantime consuming almost no resources on the server because serving static files is really easy. And that's just straight off the "main server".

If your web page needs 10MB of static files to load, you're going to need a lot of round trips to get that to your users. Your server and clients may be on 10G ethernet, but that 10MB download is still going to be limited by 'slow start' congestion control unless the round trip time is low. That's why people want to use CDNs more than reducing resource use of serving static files (which is pretty low as you mention).

Heads up, I think your autocorrect converted "generics" to "genetics".

Like, I'm confident my tech illiterate parents could get drop box running. Ease of use and UX are features.

I'm not saying the self hosted stack is bad, and in fact it's probably better in many ways. But it doesn't have the same feature set if you consider usability a feature, imo.

You shouldn't use Brew to obtain dependencies. This is how you end up with people complaining about a brew upgrade replacing the version of Postgres their project depends on.

You probably shouldn't be using dpkg or rpm for that, either, unless your CI and deployment targets are running the exact same version of Linux that you are, and even then—there are usually cleaner and more cross-platform/distro ways to do it, especially if you need to easily be able to build or run older versions of your own software (say, for debugging, for git-bisecting, whatever). I continue to wonder how TF people have been using typical Linux package managers, that they end up footgunning themselves with brew. "Incorrectly", I suspect is the answer, more often than not.

Where it excels is installing the tools that you use, that aren't dependencies of projects, but things you use to do your work.

Get your hammer from Brew. Get your lumber from... uh, the proverbial lumber yard, I suppose. Docker, environment-isolated language-specific package managers, vendored-in libs, that kind of thing.

I don't install project deps with Brew (it's a bad idea, but, again, so is doing that with dpkg or rpm or whatever directly on your local OS, a lot of the time) but I do install: wget, emacs, vscode, any non-Safari browsers I want, various xvm-type programs (nvm, pyenv, that stuff), spectacle, macdown, Slack, irssi, and so on.

More competition in this space is good and for certain drugs may be a huge boon but for the average prescription, consumers should probably stick to goodrx to find the best deal. In my case, Cuban offers a very reasonable $7.50 for a 90 ct of a drug I searched (not including shipping, which others here say is $5?)

On GoodRx I see the same drug at a local grocery store for $6.84, (Costco is $8.49) and online pharmacies like geniusRx are $4.50 (s/h unknown). My health insurance through a local pharmacy would cost $14.38

I don't like all the advertising on costplus about how they're saving you like $490 out of $500 on Rx, because everyone else is doing that to. There is literally nothing new here. My local grocery store beat his price by 10%+. But as long as you know that the "pricing reduction" is total bunk and not a competitive advantage and just an explanation of the current state of the industry that EVERYONE is doing, then it's one more option that could be the lowest for you.

In my case, it didn't help me.
What if my surgeon went to med school and was top of class, but had an attending who insisted on using the wrong tools? Or there was another surgeon on the team who created the "architecture" for a brain surgery, but for some reason in order to get to the brain they went through the chest. There can be many reasons for unreliable and buggy software that are completely unrelated to the developer.

Onedrive can't handle a ton of files without just breaking.. at least not up until a few years ago at best.

We have ~1 million files in our dropbox that we use for business. Lots of files change each day. And everything just works. It uses some CPU, but honestly for what it's doing it's not too bad. At least dropbox can handle it, other type of file syncing apps just stop working.

So for small-medium business I'm not sure what the alternative is to dropbox if you are file-system heavy unless it's just for throwing some random files here and there.
Is this a lisp war or a collective lisp prank? Or just an intellectual circlej... uh, exercise?
