News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

I worked at a company who made charging points a few years ago and the consensus then was that the idea of charging on the road at petrol stations was outdated.

Chargers need to be where you park for an hour or more, so at the home, destination or basically where there are car parks.

What does "70 health interventions were made" mean?

But honestly what do you do when your application monolith outgrows its relational database. This seems to be the main reason to split concerns into their own services. Relational DBs don't scale horizontally.
Why would you use Postgres for this which doesn't horizontally scale when you could easily index documents in ES and use that for full text search?

A good deal of it is status, like being involved in the most prolific group etc. But also the way "The Scene" works is almost gamified. Groups battle each other to obtain pre-release material and then race each other to disseminate to the sites they affiliate with. If you are first you win the PRE and your releases is the only one accepted by the whole scene. It becomes addictive.

Secondly money is involved, less scrupulous sites run pay to leech servers where people pay for slots and some groups are donated hardware etc for access. Also there are connections to various forms of cyber crime from contacts you can make from being involved.

I'm sorry but patents like this shouldn't really be enforceable, its completely anti-competitive.

This happened to the SickRage project a while ago when a developer was not happy about the project being forked. The repositories were down for some time.
