That is "the legend". It's a reference to maps which have (in the printed form) a legend displaying symbols and what they mean. Nano has that same concept in the form of displaying which keyboard shortcuts correspond to which behavior.
They're doing this because they know regulators have been asleep at the wheel for decades. If they do wake up and make a fuss, they can roll it back and pay a small fine.
If you think a two-hour Mattel commercial is where the feminist discourse is right now, then feminism is off in the wilderness.

Then again, women are still overwhelmingly the largest consumer spending group and the CEO of Mattel is still a man.

Referencing the Barbie movie wrt feminism is about as laughable as the people who think Star Trek is some post-racial utopia -- even though the bad guys are still mostly dark-skinned and virtually every alien race is a monoculture.

COVID revenge has made this problem much worse in recent years. Maybe next summer will be better.
i believe OP's point is: the reference to the hindenburg could be seen as a cheap swipe implying that the new vehicle is destined to repeat history; however, modern aviation involves a lot more safety equipment and redundancy.
Ironically, it's not realistic to ask a newbie to read hundreds of posts or to know which ones to look at. Are there 2-3 you'd recommend starting with?
7. Train a machine learning model to recognize and extract tabular and repeated data based on training data.

8. Optionally publish generated OpenAPI specs to a central site or open PR to a GH repo, "awesome-openapi-devtools"?
> Do you think the comment to which I originally responded was a "thought experiment"?

To be honest, it was annoyingly worded so I went with the thought experiment route. While I agree with what the user said, I try to convey my thoughts with a little more tact on the Venture-Capitalist forum.

I do think a post scarcity scenario would breath some life into a tech field that's been bloated with "because money" tech and solutions. Any interesting tech cannot be explored inquisitively without being useful for profit optimization. LLMs would be a really cool tech if the main usecase in our society wasn't "remove the human who does X better to save costs". An AI therapist will never be the solution, even if it was effective, IMO it shouldn't be the solution.

Back to the operations context, so much of the plight of the operations engineer is that teams shrink to reduce costs, take on more responsibility to reduce costs, and drive the operations engineer to an early grave to reduce costs. I firmly believe there should be room in society and the economy for a business to be considered a success without massive year over year growth, hell even static non-growth. Stability should be sought for certain aspects, and disrupted when the solution is actually improved, not just because its shiny.
iOS Safari has this in the aA menu inside the address bar.
I use InfluxDB 2.0 with Home Assistant and Grafana, but I'm not really happy.

The Grafana integration feels half-finished, with multiple things that are unsupported or breaks. Even simple things like rewriting labels may require undocumented and hacky workarounds.

I wish they would polish what they have instead of jumping to the next shiny thing (and breaking the previous version).

Religious flamewar isn't ok here, so please don't post like this.

Ditto for any flamewar, but the religious kind is particularly bad and also easy to avoid.

The 7 tech companies are keeping the US economy afloat. They're also gigantic national and international surveillance operations. You're probably more likely to get suicided by the CIA for complaining than any kind of action being taken against Microsoft.
You’d have to have internal baffles that slowed the implosion down, which would increase the weight more and also mean you aren’t going to achieve particularly hard vacuum. The internet tells me that a soda can weighs 14 grams, and those are only strong under tension, and hold half a liter.

I really like the idea of evacuated structural members, but it doesn’t seem practical. Even internal bracing might be better exposed to the lifting gas rather than made air tight.

But is there a sweet spot where running 0.# atmospheres of hydrogen or helium inside of a braced envelope results in lower mass per unit volume? If the skin can handle 2 psi surely it can also handle -2 psi?
This is a great piece of investigative journalism and a great write up. Like the author says what they’re doing is not illegal and it’s GDPR compliant.

It definitely makes me think though that GCHQ certainly have the deanonymised stream of data from all cellular providers - only for use in “matters of national security” of course
I've been using it for years and pretty happy, but: have you tried just replacing the modem and router with your own kit? Last I remember, IPv6 is slightly fiddly, and you need some VLAN tagging set up, but you can just use any DOCSIS modem and a bog-standard x86 box to do routing. I ran pfsense for several years that way and it was great until the Atom chipset died (infamous C2000 series bug.)

Even then I totally sympathize that the standard equipment should Just Work and I understand that babysitting networking gear isn't fun. But if you actually can't get anyone else, it might be worth a shot.

Yes, Swift is definitely losing the mindshare race for server side compiled languages, but to be fair it started way behind. However, just because it is not winning mindshare doesn't mean it isn't useable or that it is a failure.

The real story of server side Swift is a small but dedicated working group [0] continuing to make real measurable progress. Most of the frameworks have fallen out of favor or have been abandoned, except for Vapor, but the workgroup is active with representatives from several major tech companies. Obviously the workgroup's scope is much broader than just a single framework, and their current initiatives identify and address most of the shortcomings noted in the article. [1]

The bZ4x is widely considered to be one of the weakest offerings on the full BEV market, vs the decade long market leader in its segment.

Nile CEO here. Nile provides tenant virtualization. Each tenant has a group of users within them. Typically, you would choose one location for a tenant. This will be based on your customer location. This would mostly stay the same. The users in a company could travel, but the choice of region is usually decided by where the company is located. Yes, you would be able to change the location of a tenant and the data will be moved to a new region but this usually happens if there is a major decision about location in a company.

It's best not to proselytize on HN. It's ok to talk about your own experience of course, but when it starts to move into standard religious tropes, that's already a kind of flamebait and discussion quality plummets, and boy did that happen in this thread.

Catalytic converter theft is so common in Southern California, it happened to my mom twice. It's so upsetting because she doesn't have very much money and it's expensive to get a new one. It really hurts to be hit with a random bill for a few thousand dollars.

Exactly... It's a big fat bait and switch. Don't tell me they didn't know what all the costs of this was going to be. They get deals by committing to prices for a number of years. They know the costs of IP, production, cloud streaming, etc. They didn't build this whole thing going into it blind.

The only other thing that I think it could be... they don't have as many subscribers as they planned. People fucking sick of 69,420 streaming services with no content. People sick of getting milked by subscriptions.

> However the internet doesn't require people to "operate at scale".

The internet itself does not, yes, but the internet as a system, filled to the brim with bad actors ranging from 14 year old skiddies with Metasploit over hardened Russian ransomware groups to virtually all nations' secret services and militaries does.

As soon as you start a server with a globally routed IP address, it will get hammered from all kinds of scanners. Anything on port 80/443 will get bombarded with Wordpress, Drupal and log4j attempts, anything on port 22 will get hounded by people attempting credential stuffing, and anything on port 25/587 by spammers and anyone trying to exploit Exchange/Exim vulnerabilities. It's a nightmare to keep up with that crap alone, and you're one forgotten update away from getting your server 0wned by someone using Shodan and whatnot.

And then, once your site, whatever you operate - I've seen as an admin DDoS extortion attacks happen against small sites for dog walker services, pizza parlors or random bloggers as well as large car dealerships - finds itself some opponent for whatever reason, it gets nasty. Be it for political reasons (people don't like what the blogger writes), for the lulz (people don't like a Twitch streamer so they DDoS their sponsors), or for financial extortion, doesn't matter in a time where you can order such attacks for less than the price of your average McDonalds visit. There is no, utterly no, alternative to the giants (Cloudflare, AWS CloudFront, Akamai).

It's sad that it has come to that point, but unless we get the most obnoxious sources of such attacks - enemy nation states (China, Russia) and compromised domestic IoT devices/servers - off of the Internet, there is really no viable alternative.
Nile CEO here. We work out of the box with Django. We are working on providing examples and tutorials for Django soon.We definitely want to play well with the ecosystem.
The primary reasons I prefer to use Linux over Windows:

* No intrusive notifications or ads from the OS. For example, by using Linux, I no am no longer interrupted with a notification that Windows Defender just finished an entirely purposeless virus scan; containing a "see less of this" button that takes me to the settings page where I am informed that Group Policy is configured by my employer such that I am not allowed to disable this notification.

* No purposeless automatic virus scan wasting my laptop battery in the first place.

* The ability to use a lightweight tiling window manager

* The ability to mount filesystems other than NTFS and FAT, logical volumes, and soft RAID arrays.

* No mandatory updates interrupting my ability to shutdown and halt the system.

None of these is resolved by running Linux in a VM.

It can start individually.

Know someone who was just wrong about COVID? to the point you cut them off? see if you can talk to them again.

That person you un-followed because they're so blind about $WAR and totally on the wrong side? Perhaps realize that neither of you are actually involved int hat war, and you share many things that are totally unrelated to it, too. You can still talk about those things.

Basically embrace "we can agree to disagree" and explore all of those areas of dialogue other than the things you find contentious with someone.

It can be done. It doesn't "pollute your mind with both-sideism" or anything like that. People used to consider it a worthy habit, even.
They were playing as far as I can tell:

“After Mitchell apparently caught the Snorlax—exclaiming, ‘Got ‘em’—petitioners agreed to ‘go get the Togetic’ and drove off.” Mitchell said that he “buried” the Togetic and used an Ultra Ball on it, and was “still trying to catch it” after quite some time.

“Holy crap, man. This thing is fighting the crap out of me,” Mitchell said, according to court records. “Holy crap. Finally …. the guys are going to be so jealous.”

> It is nice to have some citeable source for a commonly-believed thing.

Not every claim requires peer reviewed academia before you can have the courage of your convictions.

The people telling you to overwork are conmen and their useful idiots. They play the "your claims require peer revised sources, my claims are the bland common wisdom" game expertly. When they ask for sources, they're just hoping you don't have any, but if you do there's a slick dismissal up their sleeve.
The Data Lakehouse: Data Warehousing and More
Tories hate poor people. People think that’s hyperbole and inflammatory but it’s really not.

Public transport is for “poor” people. Ergo, public transport isn’t important

There are non-torrent streaming piracy options like TheFlixer.

Agreed. I know of a single academic faculty who leads engineering research efforts with 40+ research faculty, 4 dedicated administrative staff, and 200+ doctoral students. Most students rarely interact with the PI and are really advised by research faculty. This one lab houses close to half of the doctoral students in that department. Now, I've never talked to the PI, but I imagine he's a decent enough person.

I have a strong feeling that academic research will lose its way since financial incentives attract money-driven faculty and disincentivise the pursuit of fundamental, academic research questions.

On the other hand, you'll get poorly-baked fundamental ideas from the faculty, like the idea that Wikipedia is the best source of knowledge because social consensus is the best way to figure out the truth, an idea which is explicitly advocated by a tenured faculty member at a major university and is clearly false because people are capable of lying. Empirical validation of mathematical models is actually the best way.

With Flask it is fairly straightforward - you add the tenant configuration to the DB connection when you pick it up to serve a request. The Java and NodeJS examples do something similar if you need to see the idea.

jtpda, how many dials do you need in a hot air balloon?
I love my google fiber. AT&T forced me to use a massive, shitty all-in-one modem router wifi access point when my fiber was through them. You could put it into passthrough mode, but if it reset for any reason you’d lose your config.

Google just gives you a small wall component and an IP address. Whether you use their router is your business. It’s fantastic.
Vim is a katana sword alright, one with two blades and no hilt.
Do you have a combined fiber modem or modem->router. ISP buy shitty hardware don't always retire it when it becomes problematic. There is basically no good reason to rent ISP hardware.

As a general rule, Cloudflare hot paths (CDN, etc.) tend to still work during an API outage. Communication between the API servers and the hot paths are mostly async, and (usually) work fine independently.

> I have seen people share into our slack channels

lol I had to do this at my last job. My manager would say I need more visibility, share it with X team since it touches on their work.

Then I'd have to be like "Hey we just launched this project/feature, look at it!" And nobody in that team's channel would comment on it.

I felt the exact way you're describing - I'm sharing something into a channel just to seem important.

I'm not sure how to reconcile the need for visibility, there's probably more subtle ways. Or alternatively being in the channel for a while and being part of discussions there rather than popping in just to give myself visibility when there's something worth showing.
Maybe a good use for all those Russian Super Yachts:)

I was hoping somebody would chime in on the sustainability of helium for airships.

I'm a total amateur here.

Is there no hope of finding a new source of helium?

Is there any opportunity for airship gasses that are reasonably competitive to helium but have a much more abundant supply? Is helium the only possible such gas (besides hydrogen)? Are competing gases 30% less efficient or 3,000% less?
