Except that that isn't currently a long view position.

I'm not so sure that comparing systems and operations to wiring up your own phone service or plumbing is appropriate. Those are home, consumer level concerns, but businesses would be wise to have someone on staff, dedicated to understanding their exact needs, rather than attempting to outsource everything, especially during rapid growth. You still need systems experience to know, for example, which of EC2, Softlayer, Media Temple, Engine Yard, or Linode is appropriate, and how to interpret their offerings.

Even in 10 years, someone who knows both is going to be more valuable than someone who knows just one. Devops is a different kind of specialization that is actually multidisciplinary.

We already have outsourced systems/operations work available as a purchasable service, it's called "Managed Services". Datacenter providers have been trying to upsell to it for years. I used to do managed services at various datacenters, and we all knew we weren't very effective because there was never enough time or money (from the client) to spend on truly understanding their needs.
We've been working a lot with the scaling technique, and even though we are doing ok for now, we're reworking a lot of the backend. Not sure when, but it'll be rolled out.

Noooo..you've got to be kidding me. What, in a startup?
It would be better if iPhones embedded the airtag tech so on a flat battery, you would still have about a year of tracking time via airtags. Also the power button hold overrides the OS so you can shut down a frozen OS
Last time I provision on linode and do at the same time a created a ubuntu box. I found I had to setup a few additional things in linode. Linode never felt as polished which is fine.

The one thing that made do better was they had a datacenter in my region.

No one mentioned vultr killer $2.50 which is where I would go if I wanted a dev box to play around on.
In a rare case of where judging a book by its cover is actually valid, I am going to call it right now: the fact that this project can't even display their logo on their webpage correctly is an indicator of the general level of competence/seriousness brought to the table wrt competing with an existing global financial system that, to put it plainly, is competent and serious.
Have you used parameterized queries in Perl? It's the same DBI API and only about 3 or 4 additional lines. Plus you can easily abstract that away into a little helper function if you desired.

I'm on my phone at the moment but I'd be happy to post some example code later if you want it?
I've encountered each of these myths "in the wild," and I dare say you'll see them thrown up repeatedly here on HN in various contexts.

The third item on that list especially is something you can almost certainly see every day in a random HN thread about programming languages (along with counterpoints).

In fact, 'safety', of which GC is a subset, is a huge objection, and one of the first, most frequently raised in my experience. People are afraid of pointers, some rightly (e.g. because they've personally experienced bad memory management code, or they've never worked outside of a dynamic language, etc.), but most not.
Nice! Hoping to see the "no known antidote exists" tag disappear by the next decade or so.

My first job out of college (in Thailand) I got basically because the PR agency was required to have a Westerner on staff to interface with one particular British company (big, respectable brand, if a bit racist).

Unfortunately, the work was insanely hard (at 22 I would have gladly taken a high-paying appearances only job while I played music on weekends), especially being green and having to deal with the cultural/language barrier.
Hey! I'm one of the Loggly guys. Wanna grab a beer and chat about how we're doing it?
Ha! Read up the history of the start of Kingston memory, a little RAM manufacturer that I am pretty sure you've heard of, given its massive visibility in US retail.

Many many very successful and "respected" companies start out with a big gamble that is used to fund the creation of a legitimate business. This is a huge gamble, but the market market calls the losers of these gambles "scam artists" and the winners "captains of industry".

How many startups have given presentations about their amazing technology, using demos that mislead the potential investors about how far along the tech really is, only to turn around and use the investment money to actually pay for the real hard part?

Personally I prefer the complete lack of stress associated with just being honest: you never have to care who learns any particular details about your behavior, because there's nothing to worry about defending.

It would be interesting to see numbers on just how dependent the early American colonies were on tobacco exports. That's the sort of thing that would tend to be de-emphasized in low-level history textbooks.
Good point. I am still playing with the pricing, and will likely adjust as time passes and I get more feedback.
Please god no. I'm going to have dickbars all over my desktop now.
> Davis won’t say what kind of product Kohort will be, other than it will be related to social media. The Kohort site is just a landing page which lets you reserve your Kohort name. You can also follow Kohort on Twitter.

This sucks... why allow people to register without explaining the product?
Did you get to meet Mr Wolfram? Doesn't look like it from the vibe I get from that, but who knows.
That acquisition didn't actually happen. It was just rumored and TC never updated their article.
My professor once said something to the effect of "You sell something for free when you're combating the anxiety of loss. You don't go free to compete on price." I guess one thing you have to ask yourself is if your customers aren't coming because they're afraid of losing something, even with the 7 day free trial. I don't necessarily think you need a free version. Also, it's easy to decrease prices but difficult to go up.

I agree with some of the other posts that suggest you should add some more illustrations of what the product does. Sitting in my armchair I don't see the difference between this and a flickr album besides being able to post 4 pictures side by side. I'm not your target audience though so I don't know what problems your customer segment has.
Those images are not that damning imo. Both phones are rectangular and thin. Does Apple have a monopoly on rectangular, thin phones? My G1 would look the same if it were thinner.

Does Apple have a monopoly on icons arranged in a grid? If so, the Windows desktop and many other interfaces are at risk.

No. The entire fleet was Compaq/Digital Tru64 Alpha servers in 2000 (and '99, and '98). Amazon did use Sun servers in the earliest days but a bad experience with Sun support caused us to switch vendors.

So, the title is wrong.
ACA actually makes health insurance very cheap if you can control your income (I.e. retired and living off investments). My in laws were paying a couple bucks a month for a Silver plan, I think it’s up to $100-$200 now. ACA subsidies do not take into account wealth, only adjusted gross income.

Can you expand on why using Penumbra wasn't fun? If I can, I'd like to fix that.
It seems interesting that they identify people as moving from historically marrying for "financial stability" towards marrying for love, yet divorce rates have increased. Although it is perhaps slightly counterintuitive, I think it actually makes a lot of sense. If you are relying on a spouse for financial stability, you are more likely to stick it out through the hard times of a marriage. Love is a bit more fickle.
I've been fascinated by Sidis in the past, yet never really got his transfer ticket fascination. Maybe because I've been steeped in graph theory for the last couple of years but listening to that episode made me realize the beauty of what he saw.

If this written/possible (is it?) today, no doubt we'd have web pages and youtube channels devoted to "Transfer Surfing".

And I've got a new podcast to listen to!
This feels slightly untrustworthy. What if there are still external references to subfields of a struct? I think it's probably safer to just write explicit constructors (that allocate and initialize) and destructors (to free properly) for the things you use.

What do you mean by "work well"? Work well for who?

Just because a shitty, user-hostile web has been accepted by non-technical users (because they don't know any better) doesn't mean we should condone or encourage the behaviour.

The same applies to spammers, telemarketers, etc. We've more or less "accepted" them as an ever-present nuisance, but it doesn't mean we should legitimise nor approve that scummy behaviour.
I would saw that copy.ai is a low but not zero stakes application. It develops a draft of copy for ads, landing pages etc. which you can review before taking live.
I was writing about 300 words nearly every morning starting in May but fell off the wagon this fall. Thanks for kicking my butt into action this morning.

Why wait for the New Year to resolve to write every day? Things that clear your mind and make you feel better shouldn't get pushed aside because of other life things (work, errands, whatever). That's been my problem, I admit.

And the best part of daily writing is you don't need to be a "Writer" to do it.

I agree completely that the ORMs in Squeak are bad, and many abandoned, but as of six months ago, ROE still worked. ROE is not an ORM per se; rather, it's something close to LINQ on a SQL database: you write your queries in relational algebra, building up an AST. The AST is only ever compiled to SQL and sent to the database when you're finally ready to do the query. This allows easily building up a query over many methods by passing around the query object and avoids dealing with an ORM, since at the end of the day you're still just getting back the SQL model, rather than trying to cram it into an object.

A quick overview of Roe is at http://www.cincomsmalltalk.com/userblogs/avi/blogView?showCo... and the current source is at http://squeaksource.com/ROE.html . Note that ROE only supports PostgreSQL, but that's okay, because that's the only meaningfully supported SQL driver in Squeak/Pharo. Supporting other databases is actually quite easy in one front, but useless on another: I ported it to SQLite and MySQL around 2005, but never shared the changes, because MySQL simply cannot meaningfully optimize the queries generated by ROE, and SQLite at the time required a very unstable FFI wrapper that crashed the image constantly. If there's interest, I think I still have that code lying around somewhere.
Thanks for article. It really seems the strategy behind Sweden’s decision is to allow old people to get infected to they can use the health care system before it floods. As you said, one cannot really control how the spread among 60% of population goes, for this amount of time. This will cost lives, specially of old ones.
That's a joke. Big airlines are terrible businesses, Warren Buffet would never invest on them like this, unless he has gone insane. Also, those billions is from Berkshire, they won't invest the money of their shareholders into bad businesses, I don't see that happening.

Second thing is that you suppose that there will be forever lockdowns. We're only having it because the current health system isn't able to handle all the patients given this exponential spread. Once we finally manage to handle it well and enough people get infected and cured(yes, it is also important). We will move on... until we find a new kind of virus.
I am also a privacy activist and this post has really made me think about my convictions. The most convincing argument here is that the infrastructure is already there and already used by private companies for "bad," why not let the government use it for "good?"

This is the crux of all technological advancements. I still truly believe that a hardline for privacy is the only thing that will keep it alive. Everything else is a slippery slope.

The Benjamin Franklin quote is still applicable:

“those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither.”

The proposed actions are exactly giving up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety.
In times like these temporarily removing seats to allow them to be converted back to passenger planes makes more sense. Even if egress isn't as optimized as a true cargo plane.
Wow, that is a nice little tool. Just installed it and tested on some random files in my current data analysis project.

By the way, I installed it using pipx https://github.com/pipxproject/pipx by running `pipx install visidata`. To also read HDF and Excel files, I added the necessary packages by running `pipx inject visidata h5py openpyxl`.
I'd say C++ is a closer point of comparison.
As of this morning, Youtube (ie the default 'recommended' feed) seems to have been scrubbed of all negative coronavirus vids and all negative stock market vids, except for mainstream news videos.

The truth is now officially anyone's guess.
Encrypt data prior to entering Zoom's services. That shouldn't affect Zoom's ability to deliver your (now-encrypted) data to your peers. It would affect Zoom's ability to usefully "collect" that data for other purposes though.
Same. Had to pirate my own paper once as my institution didn't have a subscription to that specific journal. Zero qualms here about that.
Twitter has anti-social behavior built into the UI. Everybody understands why it would be rude if I were talking to you at a party and mid-sentence I turned my head to somebody else and said, "can you believe what this idiot is saying to me?"

Well, that's a quote tweet.

And, crucially, while it feels nearly as bad when this happens to you on twitter as when it happens in real life [0], it doesn't feel as bad to the perpetrator as it does in real life.

It's baked right into the UI.

[0] In fact, it actually feels worse, often, because if an account with a lot of followers does this to you, then the website will be unusable for you for at least a day, as hordes of people fill up your mentions with vitriol.
Your argument seems to be that questioning the morality of anything an otherwise well-meaning person does and might be sensitive about is “shaming” and “insulting” and an attempt to “control” the person. That strikes me as very opposed to the principles of free speech and open debate.

You’re the one that keeps using the word “shame”. That was not my purpose. I responded to the implication that there can be no good or bad parenting practices as long as one parents with love. I think that is wrong, and dangerously so. In the past, similar arguments were used to justify physical abuse.

Sleep training is very difficult for most people to do emotionally. There is a natural visceral reaction against it, and feelings of guilt are ubiquitous. That’s my basis for thinking that people already have a feeling it’s wrong, not intellectual arrogance.

I don’t think people end up doing these things because they “don’t care” about their kids—again, those are your words, not mine. It’s more likely that they are being misled and/or suppressing uncomfortable feelings. They might be going along with what a partner wants to do or emulating other parents they know. Or maybe they’ve never been presented with a clear argument against it. There are a million potential reasons.
Speaking as an American living in Europe, I love GDPR.
Even HTTP/1.1 from 1999 keeps a persistent connection open, if the client and server agree.

What it doesn't do so well is lots of parallel requests and responses out of order. HTTP/2 is better for that.

Both versions will close the connection if it's been idle for a while, and automatically reconnect as needed.
You're confused. 27 states allow non members to pay nothing. 23 states allow private sector unions to charge agency fees. Charging non members for political activities is illegal federally. And the Supreme Court decided everything public sector unions do is political.
> Building a better twitter is possible, so build it.

It's been done. For example, app.net. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/App.net I deleted my Twitter account and joined ADN. But not many followed that example. Most people stuck with Twitter, ADN never reached "critical mass", and it eventually shut down.

I don't think this is a technological problem. You could say it's a marketing problem. The critical mass is essential to a social network. ADN didn't get it. Mastodon hasn't got it. Twitter has it, Facebook has it, and it's just hard to compete with that.
As a former user of the Fediverse, I disagree. Every problem he describes are present there too. It goes deeper than the algorithms: it's because of the fundamental design choices. Default visibility: public. Follow instead of friend. Mentions, hashtags, quote tweets, retweets, likes.

But these features are also why it's so popular with celebrities, which is Twitter's unique selling point, so it's not like they can just change it up either.
I felt like “by the accounting standards used by literally every other company in the auto industry” was implicit. So apologies - “Tesla doesn’t make a profit on every car, If you use the accounting standards in place for every other auto manufacturer.”

There are a lot of weird short seller conspiracies out there but “In order to increase apparent profitability, Tesla uses different accounting than every other auto company” is a factual statement and so is “If you use actual industry GAAP, Tesla isn’t yet GM profitable.”

I hope they get there! I hope they sell 10M cars per year.. but to hold them up as a manufacturing leader is pretty silly.
If javascript/non-native CRDT implementations are responsive enough compared to existing algorithms for collaborative editing like OT, what incentives or cases exist to demand high performance native implementations?

To be clear, I think this is exciting stuff and your article is great. I'm just curious if there are any open research problems in this area that would make them more appealing in production.

That makes no sense. A television network's survival depends on the ability of non-competing tv networks to subsidize its existence?

Also, the major channels are probably available for free over the air in HD!

Insults are not actual call to immediate violence.

Calling thousands of supporters to go to the capitol and telling them "you'll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength and you have to be strong." is a very precise call to violence.

Laws in most countries allow for "public interest", more or less precisely defined, so even people who want to opt-out of the game are typically unable to do so. Even the UK royal family, who do often sue, are not always able to stop the paparazzi.

> modern languages compatible with big ecosystems like typescript or kotlin

...if you do anything towards ML or datascience, typescript and kotlin are the poor relatives. For most tasks 90% of the ecosystem is useless to you and you can spend more time wrangling the dependencies of a nasty nodejs package than quickly coding smth from scratch.

That "richness" is also... "garbage".
> In my view, the real question is why others are so willing to give up their sovereignty and right to self determination?

What would effectively be the difference for you as an individual. You don't have sovereignty, you don't have self determination, the huge country you live in does. You have zero influence over your country's laws, constitution and institutions.

Why do you prefer to be ruled over by the US, which is corrupt to the bone and ruled by whoever pays the largest 'campaign contributions' (a.k.a. bribes). vs. something like the ICC ?
