lma21··on JuliaDB
why is it being compared to pandas ? is it a data analysis library?
lma21··on Order of magnitude estimate of Beirut explosion at 3 kilotons of TNT
Change the whole governmental bodies. Build a new constitution. Hold new elections. Create a government that acts and builds, not one that talks and promises. Something that can lift this poor, small, desperate country out of its misery. I'm hoping for such changes...
lma21··on More than 1/3 of all access to Google is now over IPv6
Excuse my ignorance, on what layer do we need IPv6 when deploying our apps/systems/whatever on AWS? Is IPv4 becoming a severe problem for such things?
lma21··on Gold price rises above $2k for first time
What if... we don't really defeat it? no, maybe that's too pessimistic... What's the worst case scenario in case we have to live with Covid-19 for a few more years?
lma21··on Order of magnitude estimate of Beirut explosion at 3 kilotons of TNT
I have family and friends living in Lebanon. The explosion destroyed the windows of most homes in Beirut. Apartments of my family, friends, and colleagues have been shattered. Even the ones living dozens of kilometers away from Beirut. It's horrible, what pure incompetence can do to a people already living in poverty and under the covid-stress. I hope something good comes out of this...
lma21··on China Uighurs: A model's video gives a rare glimpse inside internment
Why do we think expats would be interested in this? What's the point anyway?

Shouldn't we use this evidence instead to wake people up on the impacts of consumerism?

Didn't we allow China to become what it is today due to how we buy things (all things are made in China today?) and how companies are constantly seeking to reduce costs and in some cases irresponsibly? What have we said to those companies?

Disclaimer: I'm from Europe.

lma21··on Coca-Cola paid scientists to downplay how sweet drinks fueled the obesity crisis
Apologies if this sounds like an ignorant question. Why isn't this common knowledge? How hard is it to convince people that sugar is bad?
lma21··on Monitoring your own infrastructure using Grafana, InfluxDB, and CollectD
Does Vector work with TimescaleDB? it looks quite interesting
lma21··on Monitoring your own infrastructure using Grafana, InfluxDB, and CollectD
for simple and fast monitoring solutions, i always opted for collected + graphite + grafana. In a containerized environment, it's so easy to deploy (0 configuration by default) and monitor a set of 50-100 nodes. Beyond that, disk tuning and downsampling (pre-aggregation) rules become important.
lma21··on Ask HN: What is the best enterprise software you use every day?
> You can't run code unless the whole project compiles (poor for quick sanity check, test driven development, and refactoring breaking changes).

What do you mean by _running_ specific parts of the code? Isn't this a language problem (compile all dependencies (classes) to byte code, package .class files in jar files, define the main class, define the classpath, and then run)?

lma21··on Import – A Simple and Fast Module System for Bash and Other Unix Shells
what's wrong with

    source <file_path>
lma21··on SUSE to Acquire Rancher Labs
Is Rancher profitable? How did it rank in the "Managed-Kubernetes" business? Anyone using Rancher in production for large-scale applications? If so, what's your feedback?
lma21··on Finally, I Closed My LinkedIn
I've had many positive experiences because of LinkedIn, whether noticing new interesting people or companies. Though most importantly, I got connected to good companies through LinkedIn and went through their recruitment process. I don't think that would have been possible without it, unless I was actively applying and searching for a job myself. It's not a bad thing to thrown with some new opportunity without being the one actively applying.

What would be the downside of keeping a LinkedIn profile?

lma21··on MS Flight Simulator 2020 vs. Real life
Interesting, what are the price economics on that ?
lma21··on Ask HN: How secure are private Git repositories?
You're right on the sensitivity of such data... better to go with a self-hosted gitlab.
lma21··on France rules Google must pay news firms for content
(nor the original op) Indeed, you're making quite a valid point, and we, as users of Google's services, have accepted this policy the day we started using their services for free.

Don't want Google to benefit off your browsing-data? you can stop using their services.

Now, the question becomes, is that actually possible? If I stop using Google Search, Gmail, Youtube, etc. would they stop collecting my "user data"?

I can replace Google with Facebook/Amazon/Criteo/... or anyone involved in the ad-retargeting business.

lma21··on 1.1.1.1 for Families
honest question, why do you care how they evaluate 'porn' websites? as long as we're still capable of switching between 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8, what's wrong with providing this additional service? it really doesn't have to be a joke...
lma21··on Calls to Cancel SXSW Intensify as Facebook, Twitter Pull Out, 30K Sign Petition
I also wonder why KubeCon EU haven’t cancelled their conference in Amsterdam happening next month as well..
lma21··on Streaming: a skill gap?
Got any other similar links by any chance :) ?
lma21··on Ask HN: How do you manage logs for your backend services?
indeed, 10k qps in a large production instance is actually quite typical. Datadog is expensive when it comes to logs.
lma21··on uBlock Origin: Address first-party tracker blocking
We can surely find ways to block canvas or webassembly from such websites no?
lma21··on Htop Explained
pidstat is also good at showing IO Activity, per process.
lma21··on Ask HN: What do you self-host?
Indeed it was cool.

Would love to get a link to a screenshot of your system's resource monitoring. The description of each panel & eache metric was quite useful!

lma21··on Google/Oracle’s $9B Copyright Case Could Be Headed for the Supreme Court
Really? In what way does it differ from Oracle Java SE ?
lma21··on Python at Netflix
Why can't I read their articles through Pocket?
lma21··on Are the dead taking over Facebook?
I'm very sorry to hear that, I hope you're doing well now.

I hope you don't mind me asking a (maybe quite stupid) question. What if we don't have the account credentials of our loved ones, what would we do in this case? With all that historical data laying around when people pass away, I wonder if there's a standard procedure one can follow to handle those data.

lma21··on Ask HN: Which tool do you use to create beautiful diagrams?
How is Draw.io different than Visio when it comes to creating our own objects, sizing, grouping, connecting, arranging them?
lma21··on Ask HN: How much did you, as an employee, make when your startup exited?
Thank you for sharing, could you please expand on that last sentence? It's quite intriguing
lma21··on OpenAI Five at Dota 2 – The International [video]
Not sure if it helps much (I'm sure you'll find plenty of better definitions online):

Purpose: - 5 vs 5 heroes over 3 lanes and a jungle - destroy the enemy team's towers in order push towards the enemy's Ancient (base) and destroy it

> warding and dewarding

wards serve to create visibility (over the fog of war) 2 types of wards: one for general visibility, and one to detect invisible heroes (but has no visiblity over FOW)

> spell spam to farm

having a hero use multiple spells to rapidly kill a bunch of Creeps sitting somewhere in the jungle

> bouncing spells like the lich nuke

- poke spells target and damage a single enemy hero - bouncing spells target one enemy hero but can jump to nearby enemy heroes as well

> Roshan respawn

Roshan is a large creep in the jungle. It drops a precious item that resurrects heroes when they die.

> ability runes

Runes are temporary enhancers (movement speed, attack damage, ..) found in the jungle

> bad at juking

when one tries to play mind games with the enemy

> buybacks

when a player's hero dies they're allowed to pay a fee to revive their hero instead of waiting (can only be used once)

lma21··on Redis will remain BSD licensed
Who exactly would continue the development in this case? Weren't Redis Labs the biggest contributor here?
