Care to elaborate on why NFSv4 was a huge step backwards compared to NFSv3? I'm not familiar with the details of either protocol.
As someone who has used most of these standards, save for some of the more esoteric ones, I can honestly say type M is best - all the benefits of type G, but won't literally stab your foot when you step on it (I'd link some nsfl photos if I weren't on mobile).

Built in fuses are quite archaic - circuit breakers are better, and if you really need one, build it into the appliance.

Any socket that is compatible with type C plugs tends to have plugs that easily break if any kind of bending or shearing force is applied to it while plugged in, and the equipment manufactured for it (adapters and multiplugs) tend to be cheap, not make good contact and allow the plug to fall out easily. I've never encountered a type M socket that didn't Just Work™

It's a nice idea, but as the article states:

>Located between Hawaii and New Zealand, over 3,000km east of Brisbane, Tonga's archipelago of islands is an expensive place to send a car.

>Once a vehicle gets here, it's used for a long time.

So basically you're making cars even more expensive, which will be an unpopular move with the locals, I assume.

I wonder if it would be possible to use old cars and other trash to reclaim land from the ocean?
Google plus circles is still a genius idea.

Google's problem now is they give up too easy and no one relies on them outside of core products
You can run NFSv3 without the portmapper, and for most servers (like unfs3) the mount protocol is served by the same process as the filesystem, so it isn't two daemons -- just one.
This is incredibly cool! I was wondering when it would come to the US, but figured it would get stuck in legal approval hell. So exciting that it's actually coming.
Show HN: Low-Cost Gumroad Alternative
Decided to build a Gumroad alternative for creators who want to sell digital products but not give up ~14% of their margins.

Gumroad's higher pricing is a result of its MoR responsibilities (e.g. helping creators with VAT, manually vetting the products that users upload, etc.), but my hypothesis is that there's a market for creators who don't care about the MoR aspect of Gumroad and want to retain more of their margins.

If that was the reason, Nortel should have suffered a slow decline, not a spectacular implosion.

islam is an inherently violent ideology. The Quran commands followers to murder innocent people for sodomy or leaving the religion. Martyrdom is an important concept. Sikh doctrine does not call for murdering people. For what it's worth christianity is also an inherently violent ideology, although the new testament eschews that a bit.

Obviously not all muslims strictly follow the ideology.

Doesn't seem to stop them from taking immensely hostile actions, e.g. the US spying on Merkel's emails, or helping killers and rapists who work for them evade arrest in "allied" countries. Governments are large and complex and have many competing interests. Why would/should one trust any of the ones I mentioned more than the government of China?
Jetstream does indeed have message persistence: I can issue queries like “get messages on topic since 5 minutes ago” - I do this a ton. However, that seems to be the extent of the storage/query API that it exposes for historical messages. I’m quite a big fan, and would recommend it with the caveat that Jetstream is considerably more complex than simple nats and I get the feeling I’m barely scratching the surface with it.

What if the other thing you're trying to run runs at the same time that your rails app is using peak memory? You have no choice but to have enough memory for peak load.

But if you really do need to cheap out you can generally configure your app server to kill idle worker processes, or bounce them on a schedule to return memory to the system, and hope.
Looks pretty neat. The question that is probably most critical to answer is what's the latency difference when I do joins vs when I run queries on denormalized data. Can it support similar level of concurrency when using joins?

No, not really. If the data you hold is precious enough that you may have an actor with near infinite resources after you then you don't wait for proof to arrive, you assume the holes are there and act accordingly. Paranoia is fine if you have actual enemies, banking on the theory that evidence that a backdoor exists in a tool that you are using today will never surface is entirely the wrong approach.

Stepping up an abstraction level in this discussion...does anyone have any insight into _why_ an encoding format wouldn't want to have length prefixes standardized as part of the expected header of a message? From what I can tell, there isn't a strong argument against it; assuming you're comfortable with limiting messages to under 2^32 bits, prefixing an unsigned length should only take four bytes per message, which doesn't seem like it would ever be a bottleneck, and it allows the receiving side of a message to know up front exactly how much memory to allocate, and it makes it much easier to write correct parsing code that also handles edge cases (e.g. making it obvious to explicitly handle a message that's much larger than the amount of memory you're willing to allocate). The fact that there are formats out there that don't mandate length prefixing makes me think I might be missing something though, so I'd be interested to hear counterarguments.
or you could just be eager and use lists:

>>> [[(i, j) for i in "abc"] for j in range(3)]
[[('a', 0), ('b', 0), ('c', 0)], [('a', 1), ('b', 1), ('c', 1)], [('a', 2), ('b', 2), ('c', 2)]]

>Brand is free to go elsewhere or set up his own streaming / video publishing service.

Obviously there's problems with this reasoning right? Why bother mentioning pointless rationalization here? You and Youtube both know there's only one video service that offers long form format and that's youtube themselves.

Just tell it like it is. Youtube having a monopoly over online video content is effectively gagging and censoring Brand because of the alleged crimes influencing their business. It is not technically eliminating freedom of speech but it is both practically and effectively doing the same thing.

This points to a an overall problem within the US today regarding freedom of speech. We effectively do not have freedom of speech because all public speaking platforms are controlled by business interests.

That's what's going on here. Not some "oh you're free to go to another video service" bullshit.

If the loop "variable" (and IMO thinking of it as a variable is halfway to making the mistake) is in a single scope whose lifetime is all passes through the loop body, that's literally non-lexical; there is no block in the program text that corresponds to that scope. Lexically there's the containing function and the loop body, there's no intermediate scope nestled between them.
I think that’s a good way to look at these things. I went through a phase of getting angry at online censorship. In reality, I don’t think corporations will be spending much time debating morals and will simply look at their reputation and bottom line.
I think inventing a new screw would be a design thing? In a perfect world a screw that is easily replaced and allows them the design they want would be used.

However if that doesn’t exist, as an engineer, I am aware of the concept of tradeoffs and ever since that company has existed they’ve always biased towards design.

They would rather 1mm of thinness or an angle a specific shape and if that means that this normally standard screw won’t fit, then “oh well”. Like I said above, it’s an opinion. My FairPhone has the opposite opinion where everything in the design was made around repairability.

Both of them have different, diverse, opinions on what design is. Neither are right or wrong, per se. That’s why the market is so awesome, go to the stall that fits your need, don’t try to make all the stalls make the same thing.

The “security” feature is the serialisation of said screws, no? Even if they were standard and freely available, the serialisation would still cause this issue. Unless it’s somehow not possible to serialise a standard screw but I don’t know how that would differ from the process of doing it to custom screws.
Back in the old days Apple Maps was terrible and Google Maps was great, people laugh at you for using Apple Maps.

Then Google started using Waze recommendations which navigated cars to dangerous routes, also added those UX “improvements”, made Google Maps on a declining slope for years. On the contrary, Apple Maps is getting better on every iOS release, of course fewer people would want to install Google Maps.

* "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press" . I don't know, it doesn't sound to me like the freedom of the press was the most pressing matter when that amendment was written considering the ordering, and again, the fact that it's an amendment and not part of the original text where the rest of the "checks and balances" are written.

The length should be known in advance in order to be written, so the message cannot be incrementally written. You need more complex framing scheme like Consistent Overhead Byte Stuffing for that. And many applications do want a variable number of length bytes because i) 4 bytes is actually too long for short messages and ii) some message can exceed 2^32 bytes. Not to say the generic varint encoding is good for this purpose, though [1].

[1] If you ever have to design one, make sure that reading the first byte is enough to determine the number of subsequent length bytes.

Zero. Because Shopify would have waited until Rust came out in 2015, instead of launching in 2006, and they would never have gotten off the ground and been another failed techbro startup that instead of getting shit done, bikeshedded over languages.

Wiping for no reason: that could well be a difference between the view of the firmware of the world versus your view and I guess they just decided to err on the side of caution?

And low power alarms may well be a variation on that theme. Glitching the power supply has been a tool in the arsenal of reverse engineers for a long time so that sort of sensitivity may well make sense. Voltage spikes and drops can be very short, short enough for you not to see them on a DVM but on a memory scope with a trigger value set much lower than you might expect they'd show up with alarming regularity in some hardware that I've worked on. And that explained some pretty weird instability issues. Good power is rare enough that really sensitive hardware usually has power conditioning circuitry right up close to the consumer.
You may want to have yield/streaming senantics where length is not know in advance.
