RealID is unrelated to citizenship. It's a proof of an address, akin to soviet-style "propiska", which was very important and hard to get without (it also affected ownership/inheritance). What's more fun is that eve

Yes, I know I've been using it for a while. The hard part is to merge one trace between storage workers, that's where distributed part comes. pg_tracing does nothing for it. UPDATE: ah I believe I see what you mean -- that it pass

There's nothing "distributed" about it (the only word that got me click). The database you send the traces to may be distributed, just like any database, but pg_tracing does nothing for it.

Well, if local police is not cooperating then it's as designed by the constitution (states have the authority to police), to not give federal government powers to make the country a police state. Feature, not a bug. Federals should dis

Well, security is the #1 consideration for SSH, but if the author doesn't need security, why use ssh? For example, "nc" (netcat) is pre-installed on all platforms where ssh is.

There's only 50 weekends in a year. And there's a limited amount of years. I'd rather pay $10 and spend the weekend sailing.

Can we just hallucinate the whole conference by now? Like "Hey AI, generate me the whole conference agenda, schedule, papers, tracks, workshops, and keynote" and not pay the $1k?

Well, except for speed, compression algorithms need to be compared in terms of compression, you know. Here's discussion by brotli's and zstd's staff: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19678985

Brotli compresses my files way better, but it's doing it way slower. Anyway, universal statement "zstd is better" is not valid.

If not for NATO, Russia would have already invaded Baltic states, same as Ukraine, and maybe Finland.

Why wouldn't Americans want government to act in the interest of their companies (e.g. arms manufacturers)? That's more into GDP, more jobs etc. Unless it takes a business away from other companies, of course. But any American sho

Thank you, yes my knowledge was very outdated, waay before Spanner. Spanner for GCS actually explains how public Google Cloud was always ACID for object listing, while S3 only implemented it around 2020. I always suspected that there must b

AFAIK, in Google it was the other way around -- their main blob storage (BigTable) is built on top of GFS (distributed filesystem).

Thank you. ALLOW SELECTION is still a mystery though.

"Politics is an art of distraction" (c) All the fuss and constant bombardment of tweets is to distract from the Epstein files. And it works very well!

Interesting, manfrotto's website has a cookie notice with two buttons: ALLOW ALL and ALLOW SELECTION. However, there's no selections -- there's only a description of hundreds of cookies they store (e.g. 73 in Marketing sectio

Radio spectrum is licensed, and licenses are very expensive. There are several bands for Amateur radio in US/EU/AU, but it is explicitly forbidden to use any kind of encryption on them. So no one can sell devices that use encrypti

Try to comply to an infosec standard. Typically one of many compliance controls are "every change must be reviewed and approved by another person". So no one can push on their own. I know folks tend to frown on security compliance

Conversely -- declining countries usually have a lot of deep-pocketed customers, and mind less of whether their crimes go public. They also tend to care less of spending money in wasteful ways, as those money were easily earned.

Kafka is a distributed log system. Yes, people use Kafka as a message queue, but it's often a wrong tool for the job, it wasn't designed for that.

Sure, but your case is 1. There are many people addicted to caffeine, and it did affect their sleep and mind. (Writing this sipping my mandatory coffee :)

You probably meant the other way around, no? You can legally fight back against cops, but criminals be criminals, you cannot "fight back" against someone stealing your car forever.

Well, addiction or not, the main question is what medics call "quality of life" -- whether a patient can life their life to the full potential. There are millions of people addicted to caffeine, the most popular psychoactive subst

This is the first time I hear that. On HN, no less. Your post seems to be kinda fighting against it, but what it does is actually creates the narrative it seems to be fighting against. Otherwise I'd never hear it.
