> wonder if that kind of setup will propagate to standard financial products

It won’t. It’s been outlawed since the 30s. China had its wealth management product era, and is now cracking down. Nobody financially literate should be falling for a yield farming scheme.
The lawsuit has been settled. Gutenberg has been unblocked in Germany since late October. The site was completely blocked for three years, from 2018 on. Now, a total of 19 German language books are blocked, per the "terms of the settlement are confidential." Everything else works.

Gutenberg was blocked in Italy in early 2020. I don't know if this block still persists.

I get what you're saying by this, but I think OC is just being practical. This is the world we live in. It's shit and I hate it, but if you want something done, 9 times out of 10 you need to consider these questions
One of the projects on my secret TODO list is feeding Libgen into Elastic Search to get a cross referenced full text search. For now the hardware is prohibitively expensive, but time is on my side. I'm sure redundantly indexing a few 10s of TB will become trivial before the end of the decade.
I wonder if exposing this as a language server would be helpful?
Why is it useful for your measurements to have lots of integer factors?
Good summary of the winners. Would also be useful to have a public repository of the raw test data which supported the winners.

What's the preferred way to crowdsource spreadsheets or a mini-database? CSV files in github repo, Airtable public db, ..?
Using a second language for performance (which is what the post I replied to was suggesting) is a premature optimization - you're paying all the costs of having your code in two different languages, for a benefit that will only start paying off when you're much bigger if at all.
Right.. But scale?

I've seen places hire a dev that write all the OPS stuff and they scaled awesomely.. I mean if they had purchased 100servers full time on amazon, they would have spent a fraction of the cost to scale, but they could scale.
In 5 years I think they've never once had to reach even near the 100servers.

At the same time. I can scale heroku to 500 servers, and still be under the cost of one ops person. I can make that change and leave it there. I can do that all in under 30 seconds. Oh. And CICD is built in as a github hook. Even with blue-green deploys.

I think his point was most start-ups don't need to scale more than a site like heroku can offer. If you need more than 500 servers running full time then it's time to start looking to "scale"
I guess they want to give insiders the chance to pull out to 100%.

But ye ... there should be a controlled collapse of these things. Immediate liquidification with depositors having priority.
I study new tools in DevOps and security during weekend. I read productivity books and listen to podcast like Huberman. This might be because I want to improve myself. Not sure this is considered as curiosity. Every time there are resources shared in hacker news, I will note them down and explore them later
Can it run smoke and acceptance tests? Or does it require calling external services?
Can you share these yt channel?
Here is what I learnt from the past news:

1. FAA let Boeing do its job.

2. Boeing screwed up.

3. Pilots raised concerns but dismissed without any investigation.

4. Planes crashed and people died.

5. Boeing CEO walked away with packages and nothing happened to FAA.

6. Pseudo investigation concluded and 373 Max flew again.

7. Sh*t happened again.

I'm wondering if Boeing would still be able to get away with it.
Whoa on site headline.

LARGE PRICE INCREASES FROM KNIPEX AND OTHERS HITTING JULY 6

Thanks for the recommendation, that warning is already useful!
At least for me, whenever I go down these productivity rabbit holes I spend so much time getting everything set up just so that I never actually get around to benefitting from the thing I was trying to build. I used do the same thing with hobbies as well, buying and collecting all the tools and never actually using them. Same with customising Linux and getting my environment perfect as well, now that I think about it.

I know that others get great benefit from zettelkasten and that's awesome. I just have a certain kind of brain that short circuits the benefit part and so they become endless yak shaving exercises. Is there some productivity approach out there that avoids this, other than just trying to keep yourself focused on the outcomes you're trying to reach?
I mean, container+registry is possibly more complex to start and maintain than just creating a service file with SystemD. Deployment can be as easy of "systemctl restart service", and seems to me that configuring all of those resources in Kubernetes is far more difficult that just setting up a simple service on a bare box. Not to mention that you could use Docker too.

And by the looks of it, ingress doesn't seem trivial, not only you need to understand how NGINX works for reverse proxy but also understand how Kubernetes interacts with NGINX. You also ignored backups for Kubernetes, if you're just doing full disk backups you can do that with regular boxes, specially if they're just VMs.

> There is no ssh server, patching is now mostly just a matter of pressing the upgrade button your provider gives you.

No SSH server might be an advantage for you, but for me it means it's far more difficult to know what's happening when Kubernetes doesn't do what I want it to do.

> You now only need to know docker, kubectl and some yaml instead of systemd control files, sshd_config, nginx.conf, bash, rsync/tarsnap/etc.

But I still need to know how to set up all applications I use, which is the most important part. And understanding systemd service files, sshd_config, nginx.conf and rsync is far, far easier than understanding Kubernetes. Kubernetes manages those things so you actually need to understand both the underlying concepts and also the abstractions Kubernetes is making.

You are also comparing self-hosted with managed, and then only mentioning the disadvantages of self-hosted. Of course with a managed setup you don't need to worry about SSH, but you have to worry about actually dealing with the manager service. If you were to set up self-hosted Kubernetes you'd still need to learn about SSH, or about account management. That's not something about Kubernetes but about self-hosted or managed.
Tamper resistant security upgrade.
The hammer is the key. Granted I'm not working on 1940s stuff so you have a unique challenge. Usually I am just dealing with painted over screws no older than 1970s, but usually just a good screwdriver and a hammer gets the job done for me.
While it appears they do not, there are definitely some other TRIGA reactors that seem to have very permissive tour policies, e.g., Penn State's (https://www.rsec.psu.edu/tour-request-form.aspx)

It's definitely with a visit if you can, a TRIGA pulse (where they pneumatically eject a control rod and then the reactor temporarily increases very dramatically in power causing a lot of Cherenkov radiation) is very cool to see. Usually they turn the lights off, so you stand in semi-darkness waiting until you hear a loud "BANG!" and then the room is illuminated by the brilliant blue glow. Great fun and perfectly safe!
This is what regulatory capture looks like.
Same here with "just for the cost of a cup of coffee" as a coffee hater and I also think if I pay cost of one coffee here, there and elsewhere them in sum it's much more than cost of a cup.
In my experience US EDs tend to be very liberal with testing. At times it seems excessive. I have heard complaints from technicians who say they feel like sometimes the doctors just tick every box on their tablet. I think this might have to do with malpractice insurance. Perhaps, and I say this as a proponent single payer, the NHS prefers cost savings to risk reduction.
It was a pretty odd experience sitting comfortably in the Mojave Desert while my relatives in the PNW were complaining about the unbearable heat.
I feel like most of these rants come from people who never built the alternative to kubernetes to support a modern workflow (CI/CD with branch deploys, monitoring, access control etc).
I love kubernetes because I don't need to build bespoken platforms at every company I join. I probably would have switched careers by now if I still had to deal with site specific tooling that all essentially implement a worst version of what Kubernetes has to offer.
TikTok clearly needs to do better but why are parents letting 8 to 10 year old kids use it alone for hours in a row without supervision? Perhaps they don’t understand the social media landscape or tech? Why is TikTok allowing kids that age have accounts that could even surface choke videos? This is horrendous.
Other companies which sell (only) software based on one-time payment model:

- ACD Systems (ACDSee)

- Serif (Affinity)

- Freron Software (MailMate)

- Sublime HQ (Sublime Text)

I use them all. Wouldn't pay for a subscription. I don't want a service. I want a product.

I also pay for services, but for other purposes: mail (Fastmail), online bookmarking (Pinboard), music streaming (Spotify, mostly for discovery; after I discover something I like, I usually go and buy it to have it myself), VPN, VPS. If there existed a decent video streaming service, I'd probably pay for that as well, but there isn't any.
I'd say both.

For me the difficulty comes from the formal explanations/definitions, those always manage to confuse me. Result & Option types seem to have something to do with it so I may already have some understanding of the concept. But many explanations containing the word Monad also contain various other abstract mathematical terms. Trying to explain the concept to someone without mathematical background can be tricky.
The worst about modern MP3 players is that they have little to zero buttons.

I am on my second Sony E39X since my FiiO died a while ago. The Sony are way to expensive for the quality, but other button MP3 players are a different weight and price class.

I hate wasting battery for a fancy screen and Android like OS, like most MP3 players these days.

The reason I never stopped using a MP3 player is because I have 20/30+ hours of HQ music organized in folders, just as I like it.
There was a several year hiatus between end of gnome 2 and beginning of mate, and even longer (a year or two) before mate was solid. During this time I remember a lot of attempts at gnome 2 replacement (fallback, flashback etc) and people jumping ship to xfce. I spent a while on ubuntu 10.04 LTS beyond security support then crunchbang before hearing of the mate project, then moved to linux mint and ubuntumate, which is where I've stayed. Those years were a bit disrupted and I stopped recommending linux to friends during that time.

Did you read the post?

Key phrase is — “...and reposting it to their repository on GitHub” — which is my point, all it takes to undo a project leaving GitHub is for someone to clone the project back to GitHub. Also mentioned GitHub’s terms of service as the legal out for GitHub’s actions in my original post.
This is a good idea well executed, a smooth and fast visualization of major climate datasets scalar fields. The time projections are from model datasets which should be taken as such in terms of what conclusion to draw from these.

Im not sure what is scary about 6-7 days/year of T > 35 deg for projection into 2100? (In central Europe, for instance).

The precipitation seems to me not really done well by the models. This is really the crux of the problem (and there is no easy way to amend this).

Europe also seems to have a projection of cleaner air in PM2.5 (It might also not be the reality with the current coal substitution for energy generation - but this might be only temporary for climate studies).
That's not what they said. They said "the power distribution is so skewed against actual people the current system must be destroyed as a matter of principle". What about that is hopeless? It offers a clear escape and very little ambiguity. If anything, it should be energising to a casual reader.
I completely understand what you’re saying, but assuming that this guide is aimed at people entirely unfamiliar with these concepts, I’m not sure whether these “ideas” provide any meaningful explanation to them.

Demonstrating by example what e.g. currying actually looks like is much more powerful, at least from my point of view. In that regard, I’m actually pleasantly surprised this guide does a very good job at that.
Ah, the AI-mediated boom of janitors, teachers, and other low-paid jobs that are costly to automate. I wouldn't say that they will bathe in money though. Being low paid is their competitive advantage.
> Red Engine provides more features than Crontab and APScheduler and it is much easier to use than Airflow.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the framework more powerful than Crontab and easier to use than Airflow is Celery. But Celery is not even mentioned here, why?
I'm a developer that uses Kubernetes in production purely because I want to be able to use the same Docker images that I use in development.

I am not a Kubernetes advocate but what else is there that handles all of the issues faced when deploying containers? Such as scaling, deployment, configuration etc?

There are alternatives such as Hashicorps Nomad, but I don't see how this is any better/worse that K8s.
I can't recommend docker swarm enough, it does 95% of what you need in k8s without requiring someone full-time just to manage it.
NetworkX – Network Analysis in Python
The sooner they accept that there were no such thing as one language to rule them all, the better developer they become. I have never seen the "isomorphic" claim to be seriously analyzed. One aspect example is how much logic behind the wall is overlap with the optimistic ui logic? Some logic may seem reusable but it may not. It's insane when I saw a popular js framework author on twitter said javascript is a language of the web, other backend languages are not (not exact words). Like WTH.
>my monitors go blank and once the display is back after few seconds,

Are you sure you aren't having power issues? I had similar problems I think I fixed with randr, but a UPS for your monitors might be a better choice. Never daily though, more storm based or once every few months.
Functional programming is actually mathematics based on lambda calculus.

Imperative programming isn't.

OOP is a failed metaphor, unless you use composition, not inheritance, even then, the actual basis for OOP was about the messages between objects, not the internals.

> The world is made of state and processes

No, the world is made of objects that have state and messages (events) between them.
The probability of the `b` being chosen for A is 1 (No other choice) and for B it is 1/2. The probability of `b` being chosen for both (The only common token), is |{(b,b)}| / |{(a, a), {(a, b)}| = 1/2 which is jaccard's similarity |{b}|/|{a, b}|

I could have explained that a bit better I suppose.

Ask HN: What input/output metrics do you measure as a platform team?
Hi all,
I work on a messaging infrastructure team and we struggle to identify what metrics to use to know how well we are doing our jobs. Interested to hear what kind of metrics you are measuring at your companies + how that is working for you.
In my latest project I skipped the managed database and started using a postgres operator. So far the dev experience and performance is good.
Not OP, but I've been looking for something similiar, so thanks for suggesting Paddle - do you know if it is only aimed at US-based businesses selling worldwide or also other countries?
Except that he's not arguing to build the alternative to k8s. He's arguing to buy a higher-level abstraction.

I don't remember any of the MP3 players desperately trying to shove podcast down my throat instead of showing my music. They also never lost all my downloaded music in the first 30 minutes of an 11 hour flight due to a crash bug.

So just in those simple ways Spotify is worse.

But isn’t content cool? You see no point someone sees enjoyment.

It’s sad when teens die, but bring up any other phenomenon and you’ll see it that has its own victims too. E.g. look at love. How many people it killed or mentally crippled? Let’s get rid of it.

In my child/teenhood there was no internet at all and we found numerous ways to put ourselves in unnecessary danger. When I recall these times, I just wonder how almost all of us managed to live to adulthood.

I think that blaming worldwide platforms is pointless, because they are not the cause, they just aggregate the reality that you wasn’t aware of before, under a recognizable name.
Agreed, it's a shame that k8s won the mindshare, and other solutions don't get a second glance. Swarm will do most of what you need, and can help avoid the premature optimisation trap. Going from Swarm to Fargate or K8S is a small step on a journey.

Absolutely nothing.

+ You're in the majority. For example, only ~40% of the global traffic Google receives is over IPv6.

+ There aren't any generally availably internet services.

If you ever find yourself worrying about NATs, reverse NATs, or, generally, exposing things running with a non-internet facing IP addresses to the Internet, it may be time to learn more about IPv6.

Until then, for the use-case you've described, you're good.

His own hand or 5 dollars worth of silicon can create that "unique" pleasant sensation. You need to provide a better argument than that for me to talk to you about this. A man is exausted and jaded for days after sex, prolactin release, the refractory period etc. Its natures way to limit an alphas ability to spread his seed in the population. Sexual energy and Semen Retention can transform a man totally if he has the discipline not to release it for a couple of seconds of pleasure. He can still have sex once he has become grounded in the practice and his brain has undergone changes which usually takes 6-12 months, then he just has to avoid orgasms to keep the benefits.

I had a similar problem replacing some deck boards. Mine where Philips heads.

I was able to get some out with a manual impact driver and later some out with an electric impact driver. I had quite a few though that this didn't work on.

What I ended up doing, which only works if you don't need to avoid damaging the board, was use a wood chisel to clear remove the wood around the screw head. I then gripped the exposed head tightly with locking pliers roughly perpendicular to the axis of the screw. It was then fairly easy to turn the screws.

A small number of the heads broke off, but the locking pliers had no trouble turning those by the shaft instead.

I used Milwaukee locking pliers [1]. Unlike most locking pliers where the locking knob is designed to only be turned directly by hand, the Milwaukee locking knob has a hole through it meant to allow you to stick a metal rod such as a screwdriver through it and use that to get a lot more torque for turning the knob than you can get by hand [2]. You can get an insanely tight lock this way.

I only had one screw that this failed with. That one broke off low enough to leave nothing exposed above the bottom board. For that one I just left it in and made sure to place the replacement screw slightly to the side so it would go into wood instead of hitting the old screw.

Just like with code optimization we should first make sure making code run slightly more efficient really has an impact on the climate. Because I very much doubt it does.

When you want to save the climate there are many, many low-hanging fruits. The choice of programming language is likely not one of them, as much as I like efficient code.
In my experience Torx is not a good match for impact drivers. Pozidriv bits will far outlast Torx.

Yeah 22 years ago as a young kid I was obsessed with reading the SOFTWARE catalog of my local computer store (the hardware stuff was all video cards that all looked like each other, the software was exciting stuff like space simulators! 3D graphics! video editing!).

And this was after the days of

were quite over.
As if there's no myriad of distros these days? As someone that wants a modern desktop with unified foundations, good riddance. I'll gladly use any GNOME+systemd distributions.

The reason there's half a billion distributions is not because what's mainstream is bad, but because it's so easy to create a new distribution any bikeshedding argument results in a split. And people just _love_ to bikeshed.
The make or break moment for Unity was Canonicals failed crowd-source campaign for their phone. Work on Unity 8 was underway and would have succeeded Unity 7, and would have been the DE for both their phone and desktop.

With the end of the campaign, it seems like all their desktop efforts ended too, and they shifted focus to servers, snap, snap-stores.
I actually encountered the same issue. I knew there was some service doing that, but I couldn't find it using Google. It took me several minutes.

I guess you have and edge if you manage to match user intent with your keywords and get ranked by Google.
