To be clear, this is not directed at you specifically, and I have no idea what your level of expertise is on anything.

In general, I’ve found HN commenters level of knowledge to be fairly bimodal. They’re either regurgitating things they read on a Medium blog, or they really know their shit.

Every time this topic comes up, people delightedly mention the German Tank Problem, but I have never, not once, seen anyone post an actual example of when a modern business got rekt by a competitor using knowledge gained from monotonic IDs.

Re: security viz. AuthZ, my stance is the same as SQL injection – it’s such a trivially easy problem to avoid that it shouldn’t be a consideration for harming the performance of the DB. (Not that SQL injection mitigations cause performance impacts; sorry, that analogy didn’t work well)

With traditional safe combination locks, it's kinda normal for them to be spun fairly fast.

Often to enter the first digit you often have to turn the wheel four full revolutions, the second digit three full revolutions and so on. So users will be trying to spin it pretty fast under normal operation.

Of course there are other solutions to autodialers. For example, making sure burglers can't spend 3 days with the safe waiting for the autodialer to run.

They're being prosecuted for labor law violations; having their fat margins revealed is just a side effect of the investigation.
The SEC has a three-part mission: to protect investors; maintain fair, orderly, and efficient markets; and facilitate capital formation.

These mandates are, of course, subjective and vague enough to be interpreted a variety of ways whether you view 'investors' as institutions, households, individuals, etc... What you define as 'fair/orderly/efficient', and what meaningful 'capital formation' really is.

When SEC approved Enron's change in account reporting practices from historical cost to mtm, I would argue that the SEC failed it's mandate to protect investors by allowing disingenuously optimistic instrument valuations. You could argue that eventually the SEC fulfilled its mandate by recovering much of the misappropriate funds, but it's hard to say they didn't also facilitate the disorder in approving these instruments given how that story concludes with a corporate collapse and flurry of regulation...

I can understand your side, the interface comes from the typical shortwave radio, and bridging that with the internet radio results in this. The numbers are also a construct for the same purpose, creating a numeric index similar to frequencies.

I pretty thoroughly disagree with the premise of this, but I'm not sure why it was dead. Vouched.
What I’ve found is that pure “DevOps” roles have become a way for recruiters to sell people on being the ops person without them realizing it.

I once worked at a place that hired me in as a software dev working in DevOps and the position quickly became consumed by the on-call workload.

The system we were managing constantly had fires that needed to be put out but we could never fix the underlying problems because someone needed to answer the page which often times was a false alarm.

So we’d quickly slap on band-aids to band-aids and management gave lip service to fixing the underlying problems with on-call. And the job became about reading the Jenkins build logs because the “devs” thought that was our job. They even forgot how to build and test their own software locally in some cases…

Needless to say I left pretty quickly and it made me not want to do a pure DevOps job again.
They also remove their dead from other places. For instance, if I squish an ant in my kitchen, somewhere between minutes and hours later it will be carried off by another ant.
Stumpwm is very nice if in X11.

Anyone that has done a water fast for several days can vouch that you are not perpetually hungry. On a long fast the stomach basically shuts down. Hunger pangs do occur, but they subside after an hour or so. In my experience, three or four days or so into the fast the hunger pangs no longer occur unless you start thinking of eating. I've read that once fat reserves become exhausted then hunger pangs come back with an vengeance, as this is true starvation.
It is perfectly fair to say that 1st-world countries ought to act morally and generously on a finite planet, and held to that standard because of their privileged technology and affluence.

For some reason your values distorts that fairness into some perceived impossible thing that the West cannot afford to do. You are free to believe that, I believe it is small and narrow-minded, a legacy of racist jingoism.

As for the Soviet Union, sure, they were probably acting imperialist too (just as China treats HK, Taiwan, and its neighboring territories today, etc.), but that does not excuse the West's treatment toward their eastern neighbor(s).

No amount of wikipedia reading will fix such simple prejudices. Also, I'm getting old and I do not tolerate basic college-level logical failures to reason, using those various ad hominems in your comment.

First of all thanks for providing an alternative 2FA app on iOS platform that is open source.

I wanted to be one of the users but when I tried to import my backup from Raivo your app just gives null point exception error. I sent an email to your support team and they said they will get back to me once they hear back more from devs, which was 2 weeks ago.

For now I am using 2FAs but it would be great if I can get to try your app once importing works fine.

Good luck!
From what I remember the issue is similar to App Stores where average persons just can't know what the extension does. Or even worse, I remember multiple reports of devs of popular extensions getting shady offers to buy those extensions.
If your app isn’t working with billions of rows, you really don’t need to be worrying about distributed anything. Even then, I’d be suspicious.

I don’t think people grasp how far a single RDBMS server can take you. Hundreds of thousands of queries per second are well in reach of a well-configured MySQL or Postgres instance on modern hardware. This also has the terrific benefit of making reasoning about state and transactions much, much simpler.

Re: last bit of performance, it’s more than that. If you’re using Aurora, where you pay for every disk op, using UUIDv4 as PK in Postgres will approximately 7x your IOPS for SELECTs using them, and massively (I can’t quantify it on a general basis; it depends on the rest of the table, and your workload split) increase them for writes. That’s not free. On RDS, where you pay for disk performance upfront, you’re cutting into your available performance.

About the only place it effectively doesn’t matter except at insane scale is on native NVMe drives. If you saturate IOPS for one of those without first saturating the NIC, I would love to see your schema and queries.
> Fiber- it's hard to tell why Google has allowed this to continue for so long. The only thing I can imagine is that they are somehow using the usage data to generate revenue or ML training data.

I'd guess they signed long term agreements with the municipalities where they offer service and they can't find a good way out. That or they have acccess to some resource related to being a residential ISP that they want to use for other things (cable TV feeds?).

Fiber sort of fulfilled its mission of getting more people connected at high speeds; the problem is the best way to do that is to annouce a build out in 20 cities, and look busy for 18 months while the telco and cableco upgrade their existing customers to something similar. I don't think you can do that more than once though. Actually building a network isn't fiscally responsible, since they won't see many takers when the incumbents can upgrade faster than Google can overbuild and most people are fine with ~50/5 service anyway.

As far as I know, TCP over TCP is less than ideal. I don’t see why UDP over TCP (or the other way around) would be bad.
I've been building a library in Rust with a very similar approach called Temper [1], although in order to model the bizarre implications of the full Rust memory model you have to go quite a bit further, with bookkeeping tracking which writes each thread has perceived. Based on atomic memory ordering, read and write fences etc, perceiving write X may guarantee that write Y must be perceived.

It contains what I believe to be the largest set of test cases of the C++/Rust memory model, which is essentially everything I could find in books, the C++ standard, Stack Overflow, blogs, etc. E.g. this is the file for Rust Atomics and Locks by Mara Bos [2]

Loom [3], referenced in the article, is a similar and much more complete library, which enables you to exhaustively test higher level constructs like mutexes and queues. Although it doesn't model the memory model as exhaustively as Temper (I've been meaning to port my test cases over to it).

I was inspired by a Foundation DB testing talk by Will Wilson [4], who is now over at Antithesis [5], building a hypervisor based solution to perform this style of testing on arbitrary Docker containers.

I strongly believe we're going to see much more in this domain in the coming decade. WebAssembly is at the perfect intersection of being a platform that's complete enough to be able to compile arbitrary software to, but simple enough that building something like Antithesis isn't a half decade long project from an elite team that's already shipped a database.

Yeah. That’s fundamentally why we prototype and get to market fast and learn what we don’t yet know. And a perfectly cromulent outcome is, “this feels awesome but nobody wants it. Sunk cost. Shutting down.”

Simplicity for simplicity's sake almost never works for any software that should work with humans for a long time.

Software that relies on simple building structures but can provide various functionality to give options and ways to revert mistakes are the best. Git is one of them.

Reading the article... BusinessInsider's headline has little to do with the prosecutor's government's stated concerns:

> In probes through March and April, investigators found evidence that workers were sleeping in the facility so bags could be produced around the clock, Reuters reported. They also tracked electricity-consumption data, which showed work was being carried out during nights and holidays, the report said.

> The subcontractors were Chinese-owned firms, prosecutors said. They said most of the workers were from China, with two living in the country illegally and another seven working without required documentation.

> The probe also said safety devices on gluing and brushing machines were removed so workers could operate them faster.

> The prosecution said violating labor rules was a common industry practice that luxury giants relied on for higher profits.

> "It's not something sporadic that concerns single production lots, but a generalized and consolidated manufacturing method," court documents about the decision to place Dior under administration said, according to Reuters.

> "The main problem is obviously people being mistreated: applying labor laws, so health and safety, hours, pay," Fabio Roia, the president of the Milan Court, told Reuters earlier this year. "But there is also another huge problem: the unfair competition that pushes law-abiding firms off the market."

Normally, I'd assumed that "famous brands used sub-contractors to do the dirty work" ==> "famous brand gets off with a slapped wrist". But the third subtitle:

> Judges placed Dior and Armani units under judicial administration for one year.

So hopefully not, this time?
> Selling your product in the EU means having an EU presence.

Ehhhhhh. Kind of. Maybe. Certainly not always.

I mean, if there is some shitty little porn company in say, California, and they make porn that say, caters to a fetish that is legal in California but illegal in the EU, well, what then?

The porn company isn't doing anything wrong, and EU laws are irrelevant. At this point they can try to firewall off the company, punish ISPs, maybe punish citizens who do business with that company, because it isn't breaking any EU laws, and has no EU presence that can be fined, sieved, etc.

This is very normal, this is the way international laws work barring treaties or other agreements to have a special arrangement outside of that.

So, if Apple pulls out of the EU, maybe they can no longer ship mail to the EU, I'm doubtful of that but let's just say. Well, there are plenty of non EU countries close by, including the UK. Not really a problem for EU citizens to get one at all, so again, the EU can only punish people, not the company.

> Like, I can’t just ship heroin to Europe from abroad and claim I’m immune.

If it was legal to do so in the sending country, sure you could. That isn't true for any country though, so it's not a great analogy.
Pixel fonts can also be enlarged by integer multiples to bring their sharpness and contrast to higher resolution displays. Simple 2y to make them feel like the old 640x200 displays on a 1080p monitor, if you're on 4k use 2x and 4y.

Like David Baker's lab (I haven't been keeping track, to me it seemed like he was the only one in the world going all-in on this).
I'm surprised it's this high. I though manufacturing of those costs at most $20. It would probably cost this much if they made it in volume.
