"A database in ArangoDB can be larger than the available main memory. Although ArangoDB stores all data on disk for durability reasons, it is a “mostly main memory database”. This means that the working set (the set of pages that are frequently accessed) should fit into main memory. It’s left to the operating system to determine the working set and to transfer pages between main memory and secondary storage. The data that are currently not needed are kept only on secondary storage.

"This is in principle also true for indexes: a part of the index (the working set) could be in main memory and the remainder could be on secondary storage if not used frequently."

Logic isn't applied, law is applied. The DMCA and associated copyright law distinguishes between these cases and puts these specific restrictions on one case and not the other. Just because something is analogous to another thing in some way doesn't mean both must be either legal or illegal together. You can put whatever you want into a law, so long as it is constitutional, and the Constitution explicitly provides Congress with the ability to enact copyright laws, even dumb ones.

Alarming is the proper way to describe it. I remember how I thought it would never happen that I would buy a book and have it deleted remotely from my device when it so pleased the bookstore. But it happened. Then I thought absurd how anyone could seriously believe that the NSA was massively spying on its citizens and performing surveillance "carpet bombing". But then lo, Snowden happened.

Time and time again it happened. And invariably, Stallman was right all along.

I updated an older website last month that was built on a static 960 grid and converted it to a responsive layout by doing the following:

* Split the framework's grid CSS from the actual website styles.

* Used media queries to conditionally load the framework's grid.css only on larger devices and load a dedicated mobile.css on smaller devices.

The mobile.css focuses on improving the mobile experience by increasing the spacing of elements, converting display properties to "block" (where appropriate), and hiding extraneous design elements (ideally, this should be done on the server prior to downloading), collapse the navbar into a slidedown "hamburger" menu, increasing font-sizes and clickable area's on links.

Google's Web Fundamentals for Multi-Device Layouts (https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/layouts/?hl=e...) and Mobile-Friendly Test (https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/mobile-friendly/) were very helpful.

When will it stop?

Once most of the population realises the situation we've gotten ourselves into, perhaps things might change for the better. However, it's looking more and more like we're increasingly willing to sacrifice individual ownership rights and freedom for convenience or other things like security...

The closest we've gotten to a sort of "copyright revolution" might've been in the last decade when file sharing grew explosively and many people started thinking about the issue, but then the efforts of governments and corporations seem to have effectively suppressed that by leading consumers into using more convenient but less free systems.
Do you happen to know of any large React apps with source available? I've been looking for some.
There are a couple of problems on mobile (Chrome, iOS). Some of these appear to be faults in mobile rendering rather than actual faults with HN.

1) posting a very long unbroken line means entire page is zoomed out to accommodate that single long line. This makes the site harder to use.

2) posting a single very long unbroken line starting with four spaces means the text will be partly hidden. This fixes (1) above but causes a user has to scroll the text to read it. Scrolling the text in that single line is either impossible or very hard. I don't have enough patience to test which.

3) some people find the fonts too small.

4) those tiny vote buttons are too close!!

Some things that other mobile sites do that I hate:

1) steal focus

2) not render any text until the entire multi megabyte set of html, css, javascript and images have all downloaded.

3) start displaying text and then hide it until something happens.

Plain text is not accessible, but I've started to think that I would prefer just raw text than most of the websites I get served.
You're shifting the topic. We're talking about how many young Iranian men become terrorists, not the support of various groups by the Iranian state.

I think my problem at this point is this:

Every time I have to do manual steps for something that is a one-off [which, let us be honest, I'm not going to automatically configure a deb repo since I only re-do it every few years].

Yes, it isn't /hard/ but that doesn't change the fact it consumes time I could spend elsewhere if I had a standard iso from Debian I can just spin up on a VM or a bare metal server.

Atm, my major limiter is how much time I spend building/maintaining environments vs. programming.

> As soon as books become computer files...When will it stop?

IANAL, but legally, this has nothing to do with software. You can force buyers to agree to a license agreement to legally read your book. The right to first sale applies to copyright and trademark - it does not allow you to ignore license agreements. Obviously it's easier to enforce on software because you can execute DRM code on a device.

Blaming this on software or computers misses the underlying mechanism and focuses on the wrong thing. It is, and always has been, an issue of what we allow and don't allow in our legal system.

It will stop when people want it to stop.

"Why can't we equate the software inside a computer inside a vehicle with the mechanical equivalent? What then would our rights be?"

Well, probably because software is unlike the mechanical equivalent. How could it not be? When I own a hammer, and I sell it to you and hand it to you, you have it and I don't. Music scores, software, movies etc. don't work that way, so they need a different system to work in. That system is based on contracts, because we already had those.

haproxy is good enough with it's:

Break the Hardware/Software Developer Divide at TC Disrupt NYC Hackathon
In general, you are never going to want to reinvent the entire wheel. I would say anything that is "core" to your business is probably best to build in house while you can use existing saas to help with the rest. Lets break this down a bit for your use case :

- Local delivery: There is quite a bit of offline work involved in partnering with the companies etc to deliver for them (i m guessing, not an expert in local delivery). So just wanted to throw this out first.

- Delivery logistics using software: This is probably the core of your business in my opinion. So you may want to build this in house. For example, the entire UI/UX that a user will face to get local delivery via your app/website.

- Other things like payments etc, use existing tools of course like stripe etc.

Think of it this way. If the "SAAS" that you use instead of building in house goes out of business, will your business completely collapse or will you be able to move on to something else (yes it will still be painful i m sure) ?

Any drug can be abused. Although that doesn't mean it shouldn't be used, it does mean you have to be careful. There is also the question of short-term effectiveness versus long-term consequences. Strong stimulants are definitely effective in the short term, but they come with costs. Actually, in the short-term, smoking helps users focus, and quite effectively. The damage doesn't show up immediately. And short-term effects are much easier to see and research than long-term effects. So benefits might be easier to see than damages.

Just to throw additional information into the mix:

* The design was the first major overhaul of the back and front ends of the site in roughly 15 years.
* Introduced to the public in a very light was in October 31st, thousands of modifications/fixes have happened since then.
* The V2 interface truly hit major audiences around the beginning of January. So it's been roughly 4 months, in which feedback has been huge, and read.
* If you visit the changelog, https://archive.org/CHANGELOG.txt - you can see the mass of changes that are occurring, nearly daily.
* The site is nowhere near done.

What I don't get is this. Isn't Google supposed to rank websites based on the predicted relevance of the result for the user's query? And what would the (supposed, as it is clear from many comments) mobile friendliness have to do with this?

Would a website that contains less reliable information, or more confused content, or that is less popular among the users themselves, be ranked higher than a better one just because it scales down nicely on a small screen?
Your suggestion is ridiculous. First, it wouldn’t be enough to stop using C; I would also have to stop using software written in C. And C++. Second, there aren’t any reasonable alternatives to C — it’s not the only portable low-level language, but it’s the only popular one, other than C++, which shares the same problems.
This is awesome.
Being colorblind, I find many available/popular themes hard to work with/not in my taste.

Thanks for the test link, just applied the patch to a site I'm managing.
Fundamentally there may be little difference, but there are definitely cultural differences. Every farm has a repair shop. While some HN readers might also try to fix their cell phones, the vast majority of the population are not comfortable with that idea in the first place. In fact, telephones were typically the property of the telephone company back in the day, so there has never really been an expectation of being able to fix your own phone.

Having farm equipment that you cannot repair yourself is a significant deviation away from the status quo. Farm equipment breaks down frequently - more frequently than you might even imagine - so not being able to repair said equipment does raise alarms for some people. For field crops, you often only have a window of days to plant/harvest, so downtime can cost a fortune.
To be fair, TC needs it's post titles to make sense to a general tech audience. I think going into the difference between containers and VMs in the title would be a bit of a challenge. What should it have said?

>Transporting people, including their service animals if needed, __is__ an intrinsic function of the job.

I understand your statement but to clarify, my open question was about whether it __should__ be an intrinsic function of the job.

Should a person's personal car be compelled to accept service dogs with no restrictions? I assume your answer would be yes. I then ask, __should__ personal homes that have a spare bedroom to rent be also compelled to accept service dogs? At the moment, personal residences are exempt from FHA & ADA laws favoring service dogs but let's not talk about what the law __is__ -- we already know what it is. Instead, to entertain the hypothetical, the question is __should__ homeowners be compelled to the same standard as drivers?

If the restrictions/freedoms for a personal car and a personal home __should__ be different, the question could then be... why?
