Unfortunate that Joshua Tree (Yucca brevifolia) are not in there. I always thought they would have a pretty fascinating root structure because of how separated they grow. Makes sense that it’s not in a Dutch database though!

New comment by graffitici in "Ask HN: How did you correct your sleep patterns?"

graffitici — Fri, 26 Nov 2021 18:23:26 +0000

You should look into CBTI, and see a sleep therapist (my insurance covered this; so I only had to pay co-pay).

In brief, the goal with CBTI is to force yourself to get out of bed at 8am (say). You can still continue going to sleep at whatever time you’re used to. So clearly, you’ll be extremely tired if you keep getting 5-6 hours of sleep. My therapist told me that I’d essentially hate him for 1.5 weeks until this keeps going. Also, no naps are allowed in this phase. At some point, your body will be so tired that you’ll just pass out at midnight.

I guess Rust is a language that went the move to Safe and Useful, following the top arrow?

Book tokens?! Is this some kind of 40s cryptocurrency?

I love the combination of these! Really opens up a world of possibilities. The one command I'm still trying to replace is `cd` itself. For instance, can anyone suggest a way to add bookmarks, so that I can move around faster? I found a few, but was never happy with them.

This is fantastic news. If I understand things correctly, we can now host the Wire server on our own VM, and use the clients to connect to it, correct? We'll have full control over the end-to-end encrypted network?

But what about "Big Data" workloads? Running Spark or Cassandra clusters say? My understanding is that having a custom scheduler makes mesos more attractive for those tasks? Has your experience been different?

My point wasn't that it's hard to run servers. It was that they thought it would give them an advantage for storing their text documents.

Shocking that they've been hosting their own servers until now..

New comment by graffitici in "Why Kubernetes is winning the container war"

graffitici — Fri, 09 Sep 2016 21:38:18 +0000

Sad to see Mesos losing steam. My understanding was that Mesos subsumes the functionality of Kubernetes thanks to its Aurora scheduler. But it has much more customized schedulers, for different purposes, that might make it more efficient to run complicated pieces of software.

For instance, it certainly is possible to run a Cassandra cluster by having each instance run in its own Docker container. My understanding is that it would be much more efficient to run this cluster with a dedicated Cassandra cluster instead.

Is this right? Or are the performance benefits of running a dedicated Cassandra scheduler on Mesos negligible compared to running them in containers?

I wish somebody did a similar service for Pocket. I guess having a native client for reading files will never happen (been waiting for years..!). But I could also use an interface for reading articles while I'm online..

Ask HN: Change C-corp name, or file for a DBA?

graffitici — Sun, 28 Aug 2016 20:16:58 +0000

Hi,

We incorporated our startup using a fairly generic (/boring) name, mostly due to my lack of creativity. After a year in operation, we found a catchy alternative. From what I understand, we can either change the name, or file for a DBA. Any advice as to which course to pick?

Filing for a DBA seems to be easier/cheaper, and we also signed a few NDAs under our previous name. But we also don't want to be stuck with the bad name forever..

Thanks!

The article doesn't mention any startups. Any ideas what startups could be potential disruptors?

It seems that using Kubernetes is definitely more mature and usable than Swarm. But how would you rate the other Docker projects, like docker-machine and docker-compose. Does Kubernetes also subsume those projects?

These seem to be way more mature than Swarm.
