Except of course that things are becoming ever more problematic in the natural cycle as well. The water supply in the Indus Valley, for example, does not support even 10% of the people living there. This issue will turn critical (ironically it will turn critical faster if global warming stops) in the next 100 years, maybe faster. They'll run out of water to grow crops, and they're sure as hell not going to be importing much food.

Oh and if you're hoping for a political solution. 95% or so of Bangladesh lies in the Indus valley. You'll have to explain to 150 million people, first, that they'll all have to move and that they'll no longer have any political power at all, anywhere. The country will, essentially, die. Oh and the only places they can move are India, hostile to muslims and muslim immigration, and perhaps Myanmar, who let armies massacring and raping muslims run wild for a few years ...

Good luck convincing them not having global warming is a good idea. Once the issue moves toward criticality, Good luck convincing them not to start a war ... WITH global warming, it's ~70 years before the issue becomes critical, without, perhaps 15.

We need to take active control of the climate. It's not a choice, it's a necessity. One thing I find funny is that when you look at the issue globally, I think the best solution is, well definitely not cooling (and just as warming is totally unavoidable now, a cooling cycle will start perhaps as early as 2200. That will rapidly become a lot worse than global warming is now). Perhaps something like 0.5 degrees per century from this point forward. What we actually want is to slow and extend global warming for at least a few hundred more years.

We've been struggling with this GitLab storage change, even consulting with GitLab reps on strategy logic between namespace versus repositories. It's still very confusing, especially if you were using their other offerings like CI/CD build systems and associated build artifacts storage.

The artifacts storage is that one that's just tough to figure out when dealing with large builds. We have already offloaded all our CI/CD to our own hosted GitLab runners, but apparently storing the artifacts afterwards (which by default GitLab always stores the most recent builds) MUST use their storage, we can't offload it to our own servers.

The instructions for removing the most recent artifacts also just never works (https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/pipelines/job_artifacts.html#k...)

So in our monorepo with multiple Windows and Mac applications, we are now stuck with lots of GB that are just there, currently unable to delete.

This is causing us to dramatically revisit our strategy of using GitLab and might force us to other tools.

I'm not overly concerned by cost given how much the procession seems to matter to so many people. But I do think people should be allowed to protest if they wish given we tax payers are paying for it.

This isn't a private funeral. Hell it's not even a funeral, it's a procession and a tax payer funded public event as well. I can _maybe_ get asking the person with the "fuck imperialism" sign to not use a sign with "fuck" on it (Don't mind myself but I know plenty of old folk will) but there's absolutely nothing wrong with someone declaring "Not my King".

On the plus side we now have viral examples of how Tory policies have in fact stepped on freedom of speech, contrary to their claims.

> This can be solved with a proxy.

Only if your retro hardware understands some form of SSL/TLS (ie https:// scheme), otherwise you need to rewrite all https:// requests to http:// inline.

And (don't quote me on this though) more and more proxy software drops the old SSL/TLS protocol versions and ciphers.

One more thing which is usually overlooked, is what TLS (or any other encryption for that matter) indirectly helps with payload corruption in transit: unencrypted packet would be just silently corrupted and most of the time you would never even know it happened, a corrupted encrypted packet couldn't be unencrypted. Most of the time you can't do anything with it anyway, but at least it breaks the connection (or starts to slow down for the retries) so you know what something is wrong.

Corporations should NEVER be charged. They are nameless legal constructs incapable of making decisions.

Worse, when corporations pay fines this is with SHAREHOLDER money.

The leaders / decision makers should be fined and corporations forbidden from paying these fines.

Having more "prohibited from taking on a leadership role in any publicly traded company for 5 years" rulings would also help.

These actions would put a quick end to what takes place these days.
I don’t think you need to go full startup when naming stuff, but you also don’t have to go full bureaucrat either.

I once created a PHP framework called RocketSled because it was “the fastest thing on rails” and that gave rise to somewhat whimsical but also descriptive names on the same theme:

RocketPack: package manager

DataBank: caching auto loader

Murphy: automated testing

Each of those modules is named quite specifically but that’s because they do one thing.

I created an ORM tool called PluSQL, because it’s not an ActiveRecord style ORM but adds a bit on top of straight SQL statements. General enough that if I want to enhance the functionality beyond ORM I can, but also pretty easy to remember what it does from the name.

The one library I created that may suffer from the problem described is Trellinator, which I recently began updating to work with the WeKan API, so maybe that should have been Kabanator … there’s still time.

But I don’t think calling them all after my favourite Futurama characters would have been a better choice.

Nah, the real problem in my experience is people don't care. It's rare for people to even give me half of the distance they should when they merge. The full distance? That would be a miracle. It's hard for me to give the full distance. People just start passing me on my right even when I have my signal on.

Economic disruption and having to keep our homes and offices a few degrees cooler than we’re used to will make this a “hard winter” for the two or three generations of western Europeans largely used to staying as warm as they like and general prosperity.

But not “hard winter” in terms of people freezing to death. Even if all gas were cut off (and it isn’t, Norway is still exporting) too many of us still have oil heating and/or wood-burning stoves, and are not completely anti-social.

Plus, as another commenter said, it’s not that cold in a lot of Europe all winter long.

And the places that are? Why, they’re the ones most motivated not to let Putin have his way with their countries and were the angriest with Germany over Nordstream - the Baltics and Poland.

What if country A has long term LPG purchase deals to gasport (like Poland does) and does not have to pay spot price, etc.

Show HN: Cachegrand – a fast OSS Key-Value store built for modern hardware
I am the author of the platform, happy to reply to any question you might have!

It scales up really nicely thanks to a year of research and development of the hashtable implemented in cachegrand, on the hardware used for benchmarking, an AMD EPYC 7502P, it was able to reach up to 5mln GET QPS and 4.5mln SET QPS, with batching up to 60mln GET QPS and up to 26MLN SET QPS.

cachegrand is fast, it's fully Open Source, it's under a BSD 3-clause license - it can be used easily as standalone platform or incorporated in other ones without any licensing issue - and we are working to expand the Redis functionalities supported and to impelement a tiered storage to cache more data than the available memory.
Longer term our goal is to expand the support to different platforms (e.g. memcache, kafka, etc.), add support to webassembly to have user defined functions and server side events, and of course a network bypass (combining XDP and a lockless FreeBSD tcp/ip stack) and a storage bypass.

Although it can easily used via docker, here a direct link to the latest release
https://github.com/danielealbano/cachegrand/releases/tag/v0....

Currently we are focused on supporting Redis, here the list of commands currently implemented

This is like saying SQL injection is not an attack because the database engine is just giving you the correct response for the query it received.

Computing systems do what they are told, yes. What makes a behavior an “attack” is whether it intentionally inhibits or harms the purpose to which the owner has set the computing system.

In this case, yes, these are just interesting prompts and responses.

But in the case of a system X running on top of the model Y and engineered to expect certain responses from Y, subverting the expected behavior of X purely by varying user input to Y could be perceived as harm to X. Just like a SQL injection harms the application without exploiting the DB engine.

Its the first post to gain any meaningful traction

According to corbet its totally fine if every now and then a subscriber link pops up on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1966033

> As long as the posting of subscriber links in places like this is occasional, I believe it serves as good marketing for LWN - indeed, every now and then, I even do it myself. We just hope that people realize that we run nine feature articles every week, all of which are instantly accessible to LWN subscribers.

The LWN FAQ also considers it no problem: https://lwn.net/op/FAQ.lwn#slinks

> Where is it appropriate to post a subscriber link?

> Almost anywhere. Private mail, messages to project mailing lists, and blog entries are all appropriate. As long as people do not use subscriber links as a way to defeat our attempts to gain subscribers, we are happy to see them shared.

I think posting this on HN does not defeat the purpose of gaining subscribers, but supports them. At least for me it worked. After reading some LWN articles on HN I decided to become a paying subscriber.

Telling people they are not allowed to post such links here actually IMHO hurts LWN.
People not familiar with Ukraine just do not realize how much Kremlin influence fueled corruption and criminal activities in the countries.

I'm striking out with Jean-Luc Godard. I've seen seven of his films now from the "1001 Films to See Before You Die" and have found them all tedious.

It's too bad because there are parts of each that can stay with you like the "car scene" in "Week-End". But often they are peopled with unlikeable characters, have a meandering plot that feels made-up on the spot, are punctuated with obtuse poetry....

I appreciate what he did for cinema in showing all the things that it could be, but perhaps I like some of the films from other directors influenced by him that instead struck something of a balance.

But it's not working, is it? Practically the whole Europe is helping Ukraine, sending weapons and everything we can to help.

It's not the question of how much gas Russia offers, it's the question of how much Europe is willing to take from them. Russia's status is very close to North Korea now - it's just unethical to make business with a state that got mentally stuck in XIX century and still thinks killing innocent people to grab more land is a good strategy.
