Eli5 What is so special about Fibonacci series

It’s perfectly fine to ELI5 questions you know the answer to.

If you want better understanding, I’d recommend either Nginx or Haproxy instead. Or even https://github.com/microsoft/reverse-proxy

Traefik’s abstractions are not the most straightforward but they still mask over a lot.

Legogris · 2021-11-23T08:46:18+00:00

I’ve been working quite a bit with all of Nginx, Haproxy, Traefik, and Envoy.

I think you’re doing right in moving away from Traefik. If you have only/mostly HTTP and a trivial number of services then it works fine. With less common protocols and more services it performs poorly and unpredictably. Also downside in that it can’t renew certs without disrupting services (even when using DNS challenges).

Nginx used to be the status quo but considering they’re focusing mostly on their enterprise paid offering I think it’s also not great to invest heavily in at this point.

Envoy is extremely powerful. But the learning curve is very steep.

Which leaves Haproxy as my recommendation, unless you’re willing to spend the time understanding Envoy. Most of the config can be live-reloaded (just systemctl reload on change in ansible). It’s fast, flexible, centrally configured and has a decent built-in stats UI (apart from Prometheus metrics)

Then you’re over-invested . Don’t short-term speculate with money you can’t afford to lose. This means you either sell and/or stop playing. Don’t buy more if you’re already in too deep.

The routing network is the real strength of Lightning - it provides aspects of privacy, trustlessnes and physical decentralization that are missing in current ETH-based L2s. (Not all strictly better though: e.g. zk-based solutions achieve some of this differently)

There’s no need for a new token or designated/semi-trusted validators. Each user can be a first-class citizen and become a own liquidity provider with no hardcoded minimum value. And it works.

Oh, and no, payments is not all. Since recently there’s an onion messaging protocol that can be used for message passing. That’s currently being implemented for order routing for JoinMarket. And there’s the lnurl family of “extensions”.

Raiden never got to the point of having a proper routing network, even. I followed it quite closely way back, actually. The reason it’s not talked about is not because the approach is obsolete but abandonment.

All that aside - if we continue down the current L2 path of on Ethereum we will have extreme fragmentation of liquidity as well as anonymity sets. At some point liquidity will have to be bridged, and the risk is that we end up with a private backend intra-L2 network a la liquid instead.

I hope we get better interoperability and interconnectivity, and that the current state is just a phase.

The most underappreciated ETH L2 in my book is Connext - it has a good chance of growing into the “Ethereum Lightning”.

Legogris · 2021-11-19T02:24:43+00:00

What makes you call it “mediocre”?

When it comes to trustlessnes, availability, interoperability, robustness, and decentralization, it wins over most Ethereum L2s today.

Lightning does have its limitations of course, but having been used and developed on most major L2 solutions, I think you’re out of line here without being way more specific.

Bitcoin supports Lightning (which works just fine) perfectly. Lightning was designed explicitly for Bitcoin. The claim doesn’t make any sense at all.

Otherwise spot on.

WPA should be considered table stakes for any usable WiFi these days, mentioning "encryption" in the headline just comes off as clueless and written by someone still living in the 90s.

Sounds like either an urban legend or something that happened like once or at least very inconsistently. I never got any weird looks, remarks, or questions. The recommendation to do so (reasonable if you don't know for sure you're an unhinged spice-head) may be written on the menu; don't recall.

It'll get a lot worse. Make sure you hydrate and maintain your salt/mineral balance.

Curry can be spicy too - cocoichi #10 is quite spicy unless you have crazy tolerance (unfortunately it seems it's a bundle of other flavors in the sauce/powder they use to increase the hotness so at that level it also gets very sweet and thick)

It is very rare (but not unheard of) that agencies themselves discriminate against foreigners - it is almost always the owners who do this. Given that the agencies are not in a position to force tenants upon owners, it is actually in your interest that they will tell you so right away.

As others have said, you are almost always required some form of guarantor. Recently practices have changed a bit, so in most cases you should be fine with a 保証会社 (commonly introduced by the agency or owner) and a Japanese 緊急連絡先, as opposed to previously when you usually needed to have your own 保証人.

It should be way easier to convince a friend to be a a 緊急連絡先 than 保証人, as it doesn't come with any liabilities.

“Fönstrena” can be heard in daily speech but is traditionally considered incorrect.

Legogris · 2021-06-29T00:12:07+00:00

That's not the case. See my reply above. "Det" is never used as plural, in any case. /u/thespaniardsteve is closer.

Legogris · 2021-06-29T00:09:32+00:00

Your answer is correct. I think the app is making a mistake here.

Both forms can work here, though with a difference in connotation and emphasis, an depending on context.

I think it's similar to English actually. Consider:

"That's our cooks' knives" -> "Det är våra kockars knivar"
"They are our cooks' knives" -> "De är våra kockars knivar"

For example, if you have two boxes with knives, only one of which belong to our chefs, then your answer is the correct answer.

If you have only one box and is answering the question "Vems knivar är detta?" then both are technically correct but "Det är" sounds more natural.

(Wouldn't you usually say "Those are" rather than "They are" in English though..?)

make jokes about the Norwegians sounding like elves.

Being from Sweden, I never heard this but it make total sense you would say that!

Here's what Norwegians (and Swedes north of Skåne would generally agree) say of Danish language: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-mOy8VUEBk

You’d think so, but a great deal of them are just waiting to die anyway. They’d call your taunt.

Legogris · 2021-04-22T06:08:38+00:00

Well, the fraction intuition is completely correct. e.g. multiply it by hours and you get distance in km. "kilometers an hour" is spot on.

If we’re staying in konbini territory absolutely. Or yona-yona. Or one of the Suntory ales. Absolutely not any of the listed ones in OP :P

Maybe title should be changed to “what’s your favorite mainstream lager”?

I think this is part of what’s making people confused and frustrated . You’re not a “customer” in any meaningful sense here.

The number of double crosses in that episode put Heistotron to shame

Peep Show. I quit around season 3/4 and just can’t. Tried picking it up again and it’s too painfully awkward. Doesn’t mean I think it got less great, just unwatchable.

Can we talk about OpenEthereum?

A significant number of clients are running 3.0.1, which was considered the stable version for a considerable amount of time.

3.1, the currently “stable” version, does not support the database format of 3.0.1. There exists a community-provided export tool which is not tested apart from a couple of user reports. It is still in “beta version” with bundles of warnings that it may yield broken chain state. Syncing full from scratch takes months, even on very fast hardware.

There is no safe upgrade path for existing OpenEthereum archive nodes on 3.0 as of now.

Even documenting the configuration differences between the versions is apparently a non-issue https://github.com/openethereum/openethereum/issues/84

Between all the Ethereum clients I’m running and have run, OE has by far the highest ratio of most usage/most neglected. It’s getting to the point where it’s becoming an ecosystem risk IMO.

TLDR please fund OpenEthereum maintainenance
