There has been a lot of discussion on HN about dedicated hosting at Hetzner vs Amazon, and while they offer different pros and cons, Amazon appears to be a lot more expensive for comparable or even worse specs. Here's a comparison of two servers that have roughly comparable specs, Amazon High-Memory Double Extra Large and Hetzner ex8s:

cpu:
hetzner: Intel Xeon E3-1275 (4 physical cores)
ec2: 4 virtual cores (13 "ecus" where each ecu is ~ 2007 xeon core)

ram:
hetzner: 32 GB ECC
ec2: 34 GB (previous commenters have speculated that it's non-ecc because Amazon only mentions otherwise for compute units)

disk:
hetnzer: customizable, cheapest is 3TB disk or 120 GB SSD for 15 euros/month
ec2: 850 GB (ephermeral)

network:
hetzner: 100 Mbit (incoming free, 10TB outgoing free, 7 euros/TB after)
ec2: unknown speed (incoming free, $0.12/GB outgoing, $120/TB)

price:
hetzner: ~$265 for first month, $115 thereafter (includes setup fee, excludes VAT, after euro to usd conversion,
includes cheapest hd option)
ec2: $648/month

There are a lot of other factors like the additional services amazon provides, failover, scaling, bandwidth quality, US ping times, reserved instance pricing, etc. It's not a straightforward comparison, but I would argue that for many users hetzner is the much faster and cheaper option.

> Science is provisional. In my opinion we should always approach it with humility. What I am seeing more and more is people who somehow feel elevated by science to be better than their peers.

You seem to be making an odd distinction here. I find the idea that humans are easily fooled and one shouldn't believe things until you have evidence, rigorously checked by other people and with techniques based on hundreds of years of experience in how human beings fool themselves and get things wrong, to be very humble.

I don't see more and more people feeling elevated by science and becoming condescending or superior. I do see people get that way when the idea of evidence is casually dismissed because of some gut feeling. That condescending response isn't helpful and doesn't do the scientific or intellectual community any good but it's because of the incredible arrogance behind the cavalier dismissal of all that experience in searching for what's true.

> Science is provisional

That's quite the statement. Scientific findings are provisional. At this point, it's really hard to argue that science itself is. The idea that one is most likely to be right if they don't believe things without evidence and the enormous philosophical machine humanity has built that turns hard work into facts isn't provisional. It's the only thing we've ever discovered or built that works.

As to the simulated universe: What if the universe where the beings who simulate our universe is also simulated in another 3rd universe, and that one in a 4th universe and so on up until you get to 7. Then it stops.

That's just as likely as 2 nested universes or that the universe is the dream of giant inter-dimensional turtle or that your own mind is the only thing that exists and the rest of the universe is a hallucination.

All these things are possible, and impossible to be disproved, but even if they are true, science is still the only working method for figuring out what the rules are to the simulation/dream/hallucination. So go ahead and believe we are in the matrix, I will still have the same simulated contempt for other simulated people who decide that thousands of years of work by human beings attempting to learn about the matrix is worth the same as what they "feel" should be true. That's incredible arrogance.
would it be a stretch to pull in Rackspace, and any other large EC2-like providers? I think having one of these tables as all in one during a meeting is going to get some managers to reconsider their positions.

>>In other words, what do you do in your free time?

To make 'free time' work economically viable. You have to do it full time. And to win doing it full time, you will have to work crazy hours. At that stage it no longer remains enjoyable.

People enjoy the 'free time' work because it comes with some mental perks. No fear or losing something on failure. Risks are cheap, having options to always drop it and do something else. None of that is possible if 'free time' work becomes full time work.

You could say the same about anyone who deviates from the norms of whatever society he's in. One could say that Richard Stallman, for example, "behaves in a manner inconsistent with the mean collective human perception of reality". But is he a danger to himself and others just because he does so?
I've always felt like this was a major shortcoming of the specification. Inputs should have some consistent visual specification along with support for a well-defined set of styling options. We go through all of these gyrations precisely because the spec. doesn't define standard behavior. The differences in color, size, and shape from platform to platform (and browser to browser) can be very problematic for anyone trying to make the web beautiful.

I get to quote from Gladiator, yeah!

In the movie, Cicero says: "Sometimes I do what I want to do. The rest of the time, I do what I have to."

I love building things and programming, but I love it when it is a process of self-accomplishment, driven by a deep desire to create, discover and learn.

In my job environment, however, these values are irrelevant and what I love to do otherwise becomes what others trample and waste.

So, yes, do what you love to do when you can and do what you have to do the rest of the time. Unless you don't care about living under a bridge.
You could start by not telling kids matter is built out of little billiard balls that move like celestial bodies.

It you described it more as fuzzy, wavey things reshaping and interacting you might give people better intuition.

It's not harder to explain and it's no less attractive especially when you have things like computer graphics and touch screens now.

Study of 49 programmers: static type system had no effect on development time
> Why not in the US?

There are many reasons but the most important one, IIRC, is existential insecurity. The more one fears for one's wealth, health, and life, the stronger and widespread religious beliefs. The thesis goes back to Gregory S. Paul [1] and has been confirmed by others; for instance, by Inglehart and Norris (2004) [2].

When they announced these boards, this is what I thought of. I wonder what these low energy, low heat boards do in a cluster.
That is because they have trademarks that most courts would accept, noone has a trademark on their name. Well not normally anyway
I could see how it'd help if you are debugging a service that parses a subdomain out of the main URL for a particular purpose (think, for example, a SaS that provides a domain like 'yourcompany.mysasservice.com').

Other than that, ports will do.
My experience with ec2 is that you get significantly better performance for the price. An ec2 micro is possible to run a webapp with moderate traffic from, a comparably prices VPS migt have similar stated specs but they're all so oversold they can't really be used for anything worthwhile.

Inconsistent with the mean collective human perception of reality, or inconsistent with an accurate perception of reality? If there's anything that ought to be clear from the article I would think that it's that these two are not the same thing?
>Contrary to whatever you think 'getting rich' is very important.

To you. Just like the GP is projecting his view of the world as the view everyone should have, so are you. People are different (gasp) and that means their rankings of most any list of things you can come up with will be different.

>And even if you are the best janitor in the whole world. You still won't be able to send your kids to a good university

Maybe it is the grouch in me but perhaps your kids could get scholarships, or (gasp again) pay some portion of their own school bill. The idea that a parent is a failure if they can't pay 4 years or more of Harvard tuition in cash seems silly, to me anyhow. Also, anecdotally, everyone I met in college whose parents were footing the bill were kind of deplorable people to be honest. I am sure there are nice people whose parents picked up the whole cost of their college education, I have just never met any.

That is not Pascal's Wager!

Pascal's Wager is about behaving as if Deity existed even though you're not sure in order to avoid damnation.

Moreover, why do you make Deity a global variable? What if everyone has his or her own's afterlife? If it's global it should probably be a constant anyway, it's one of those things you don't want to mess with…

Even a team of good coders often produces a worse homegrown solution due to the time pressures of their project. This in my opinion makes the chances of creating a better homegrown solution low. And you lose all the reuse abilities you get from a framework.
So far my evidence suggests that that's incorrect. I suspect it's because a lot of people think "Google" is synonymous with "the Internet", though.
What you should have invented is a anti virus whose distribution you can control. Not a virus that removes a malware. The point behind a virus is a technology difficult to control. Now you invent a beneficial technology extremely difficult to control and which spreads. And then you express surprise when it actually spread?

Honey bees or in general bees are used by nature for cross pollination. If bees are spreading your technology then really its not the farmer that you can blame here. Those bees can fly anywhere. This can spread to a jungle and suddenly you might be faced with a scenario of this thing having spread beyond uncontrollable means. Whom will you sue then?
I find it interesting that we are required to do a second round-trip for the CNAME when it is available in the same bailiwick and could be sent as part of either the ADDITIONAL SECTION or as part of the ANSWER SECTION. Would you happen to know what the RFC has to say on this? I understand that CNAME's are not allowed to exist with other records, but returning it in the ADDITIONAL SECTION shouldn't be a cause for concern.

The reason why it may not be serving NS records for itself is because looking at what is available on Github the server is started on port 5300, so I am assuming that there is some sort of DNS resolver/cache sitting in front of it that may be stripping them out. Same thing with it not responding with "Authoritative answer" bit set...

Although that is simply speculation, maybe they did put the node service directly on the internet.
The study followed 49 undergraduates who had taken Java classes. I would argue that, because of this, the students were probably more experienced with static type systems.
so, by swiching from python to haskell, you can get code that's 20x faster for no extra development time? sounds like a win to me. (cherry picked shootout data - http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u32q/which-programming-lan...)
HTTP wasn't, and isn't, broken. Google alone had the combination of a financial incentive to improve, engineers capable of improving, and few application-level opportunities to exploit instead. This is literally the last thing you should worry about optimizing. Very few of us are privileged enough to work at a place that is so short on real problems we can worry about one like this.

In this industry we have a 15-25 year rewrite cycle. The cycle always begins with something deceptively simple that wins wide support through being easy, and ends with multilayered nonsense of dizzying complexity. Efficiency was not a design goal of HTTP. "Changing" that isn't just insulting to the spirit of HTTP, it expresses a complete lack of regard for history.

I don't know how we're going to break the rewrite cycle, but I can tell you heaping complexity atop complexity appears to be exactly the engine driving it, and just when things reach the pinnacle of the absurd, someone comes along with a disruptive, simple alternative and takes over the world with it. SPDY is late-game technology. The end of this loop is near, and we'd be better served keeping an eye open for the start of the next one than trying to master the intricacies of one more difficult and unnecessary improvement.
That's really nice. Did you make it?

Also it would have been nice if VISA had a global "credit rating" instead of a separate one for each country. Unfortunately, I now have zero credit in my new country, which is painful when I have amazing credit in my previous country. (all VISA cards)

Pro-tip: if you deal with a bank that has branches in both countries, and you're sufficiently good of a customer that they can justify an hour of work for you, you can get around not having a credit history in your newest country of residence. CitiBank, for example, has an employee in Tokyo whose only job is being attached to an Experian terminal to make credit decisions for American expatriates. (It is highly likely that branch level employees at most CitiBanks are unaware of his existence, so the high-percentage plays are either speaking to their wealth management group, speaking to their "executive relocation" group, or sending the bank a letter.)

I find the problem of induction interesting. I’ve long had this strange doubt whether, for example, the natural numbers actually correspond to a natural phenomenon—or whether classical logic is anything more than an approximate model of whatever logic actually underlies the universe.

Humans mostly understand counting intuitively, logic perhaps less so. But how can we make inductive statements about natural numbers if they’re merely a by-product of how our brains work? How could we use the “pure” language of mathematics to communicate with extraterrestrials if our understanding of mathematics is based on entirely different principles?

As a pragmatist, I mostly just keep my head down and say “numbers and Booleans may not be anything, but we can use them to do things, and that’s good enough”.

WorldWideWeb had scroll bars. Since day one of the web, browsers have been expected to gracefully handle documents with too much content to easily render on one screen.
