I sincerely hope the author will urgently and clearly mark the repo as a toy/demo/do not use for anything important in the readme.

Funnily enough, Uniqlo does not package most items in plastic here in Japan.

Your previous message used the present tense ("avoids") though. Also it looks like their "cloud solution" is not really (public-)cloud based at all, it looks like a standalone piece of metal: https://unifi-pro

Sigh. I have a NAS that saturates a single gigabit link pretty easily. If only they included at least one 10GbE (or even just 5GbE) port...

I would suggest highlighting the experimental nature of the repo, especially if someone reaches it without going through HN. I've read the catchy "All built on the bleeding edge. Built on the edge, for the edge." but IMO it d

OK, will do, I'm sorry the discussion went off the rails like this. Rest assured that while the form wasn't the most neutral, the intent was definitely the best possible and absolutely no malice was intended, contrary to the force

I simply believe that honesty is important. If I publish something that I know to be experimental, I mark it clearly as such. And I point out others when they fail to reach that bar, so that they can fix it.

Well, I was actually responding to the OP... but I guess I could have been clearer in my intent - that was exactly what you stated: mark it as experimental/not for anything important.

by cafxx 7y ago
Neither is the contrary suggested. I wouldn't point out something marked as experimental/not for prod use.

Because something simple already exists, for this very use-case (and apparently, in the case of LoRa, with better range)? I'm personally rooting for this to bomb badly.

As an operator, shouldn't you worry if something battle-tested, that implements extremely critical functions that are tricky to implement correctly, is replaced with something that is unproven? As someone who enjoys sleeping at night,

I agree with some of the comments on the article: there are good reasons to keep durability and atomicity separated, and to allow apps to specify what they need. Also, a while back there was another paper that had a much better API as it al

I also prefer US apps over China apps, but only because of UX. Not because of trust.

by cafxx 7y ago
For example? Can you give some concrete examples of consequences for you in the two cases?

by cafxx 7y ago
We should worry about all such apps, regardless of provenance... As a non-US citizen, I don't really see the difference between e.g. a China-based app and an US-based app.

S3 maybe has better availability. Your DSL/fiber and router, that are on the critical path, definitely not.

I wonder if it would be possible to dump, from microcode, the contents of the microcode ROM. This would neatly sidestep the problems inherent in decoding the ROM contents from pictures of decapped chips.
