Basically before CDK, this type of offering made sense but the truth is that AWS correctly identified this need to quickly scaffold infrastructures AND edit it without requiring YAML, Cloudformation or other declarative syntax like Terraform.

CDK is literally writing Python code. You can organize your files and write out logic in all the ways you could possibly. CDK offers tremendous value in this regard but the downside being you won't be able to generate the same layout on Azure or Google but that's a given.

On one end of the spectrum you could have a hybrid of Azure/Google cloud products but with AWS as your main base, vice versa. However, usually in my personal experience, you rarely end up deploying a complete stack on both clouds. It's like take that product from Google or Azure and make it work with AWS, in such scenario you could simply do most of the stuff in CDK and then wire up separate products (but to each their own).

The only use case where I think might require Terraform to a large degree is if you make heavy use of VPC'd, full stack across multiple clouds (ex. agency or consulting firm) but for majority of cases I don't really leave AWS and neither is there an expectation to from clients and employers (they rather just stick to AWS for everything if possible)

tldr: Terraform and tools like what OP is offering, were used to scaffold infra on AWS but CDK came along and really made it unecessary—just learn Python or a backend developer to scaffold infra on AWS in Python.
Sadly, it doesn't seem so. The fact that there is no clear place to do this is honestly quite ironic given that Apple requires all third-party apps to have an easy way to report rulebreaking content…
I don't think that's quite right. They can prohibit your use of the program unless you agree to and follow the rules they establish. They are able to do that prohibition using copyright, but isn't it proof that copyright doesn't necessarily do that the fact that there are other very different licenses?
> The 1918 pandemic ravaged the remote city of Östersund. But its legacy is a city – and country – well-equipped to deal with 21st century challenges

Had they written this 30 years ago this would certainly have been true, Sweden as a nation had heeded Baden Powell's motto "Be Prepared". A large part of this preparation was realised through the unusual but effective way the country had organised its defence which was integrated into most parts of society. The system was called 'Totalförsvaret' (literally 'the total defence') and integrated armed forces, civilian institutions and parts of industry into an organisational structure which was designed to be resistant against the loss of one or more of its arms. There were large stockpiles of material and supplies scattered around the country, these included amongst other 50 mobile field hospitals with 2100 respirators, fully equipped operating theatres, etc. The country had stockpiled food supplies which could last for a maximum of 2 years.

But... nearly all of this was disbanded, given away, thrown away, sold off or demolished in the years after the demise of the Soviet Union. The field hospitals went to the Baltic states, the respirators (new, unused) were given away or thrashed. The food supplies are gone, Sweden has gone from 2 years of supplies to about 16 days, i.e. whatever is in the distributor's warehouses and on the road at the moment.

Before the 90's Sweden had access to about 3600 respirators, now the number seems to be around 520 - seems to be because the "government" has decided this number is critical to the nation's security and as such is not published. The country has the lowest number of hospital beds per capita in the OECD after Portugal.

Maybe SARS2 will help to rebuild this part of the Swedish state? Time will tell.
Right, this seems like an interesting subject, but not a lot of information there. Can anyone suggest better sources?

This is incorrect. Zoom doesn't use webrtc audio and video channels, only data channels, and has reimplemeted audio and video channels on top of that, doing the decoding in js and probably wasm.

They also limit the resolution to 480p for the web app, probably because of performances. Browsers and zoom both use h264, but browsers usually use vp8 instead.

There is no reason webrtc cannot offer the same quality (or better) than zoom, at the same bit rate, but it all comes down to the actual implementation of browsers and web apps. webrtc-based apps work well, these days.
The problem isn't that it's visible. The problem is that it's there.

Back in 2nd year CS we were tasked with making a simple terminal minesweeper game. It would print the whole board state after each move and read coords from stdin to know what square was picked.

I wanted to make it a proper GUI-style board with arrow key movement, randomised mines (the assignment tasked us with reading mine locations from stdin at the start), auto-expanding zeros, varying board sizes...so I did.

However, I knew the assignment would be marked on automated test results. I wanted to show off, but still pass the auto-tests. So I made it ask for game "mode" at the start, implementing both the requested behavior and my desired behavior. But if stdin wasn't a tty, it just did the requested behaviour without asking, thus foiling the tests.
> By learning different I mean we don't learn in a "broadcast" way anymore.

Given the excerpt you quoted uses the word "want" I think you mean you don't want to learn in a broadcast way. That's fine, but that's not a sufficient rebuttal to the point you were replying to that "The learning process will be similar to 20, 200 or 2000 years ago as the brain does not change that quickly." I'm not sure I entirely agree with that[1], but saying you want to learn in a different way is not evidence that "people learn in totally different ways."

On one hand I feel students preferring more interaction / less broadcast is nothing new, but on the other hand the popularity of Coursera, MIT OpenCourseWare, Udacity, Khan Academy, and countless other very "broadcasty" education sites/resources would seem to indicate many are quite satisfied with little or no interaction.

I agree with you on this. By nature of being a clone, it would have the explicit memory of committing the crime due to the crime having been committed before the clone existed which makes it just as responsible and punishable as the original. The clone was a copied consciousness but it was not one that did nothing wrong.

To clarify, the clone did not commit the murder but the clone is a copy of an original that did so the clone committed the murder by proxy. If you make a copy of a counterfeit bill then does that make the copy any less illegal than the original counterfeit?

Furthermore, I'd argue that the opposite is true regarding the clone. If the clone existed before the commission of the crime then it would have not been the clone that committed the crime but just a being that happens to share all traits and links to the original, however, still capable of its own free will and thus not punishable for the crime of the original.

From the '80s until today, BBSs, the usenet, mailing lists, and other online interest groups have been overwhelmingly male. Myspace was the first large forum to achieve a high female/male ratio. The key ingredients seem to be:

2. reciprocal relationships - women don't want anybody to be able to contact them
3. many:many conversations (such wall posts)

This is true, but it's also possible that the very treatment that supposedly decreases cancer deaths also decreases the "other illnesses" such that the distance between the cancer death and other illness death is constant. In this case, lifespans could increase and still result in other illnesses killing more than cancer in spite of increased life expectancies.

Either way, we are living longer though.

There is this position in politics:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whig_Party_(United_States)

which has a mismatch in supply and demand much like Libertarianism.

The New York Times would like to be Whiggish (e.g. "how am I going to afford to send my kids to college if cancel culture stops me from getting paid $50,000 to give a college commencement address?") and so would the people in California.

For various reasons the "left" in America can't quite throw the poor, blacks, and brown people under the bus, but the political establishment would love to do so if it could: but a bird with two right wings can't really fly.

History treats the whigs so badly because the whigs tried to "split the difference" between the north and the south in the civil war so you wind up with characters like Daniel Webster, the US secretary of state from New Hampshire, who was imploring activists to stop resisting efforts to repatriate escaped slaves from New York to the the south.

Today "split the difference" comes in the form of symbolic activities like the ones mentioned here in the context of California where saying that a certain population is "15% white" could well mean that it is "70% asian", not "70% black". (e.g. even in the American South today it seems that white people are taking their kids out of the public schools to get them away from asians, not to get them away from blacks) Asians break the "race theory" enshrined in American law by being both successful (higher than average income) and discriminated against (whites and blacks who graduate Harvard get a ticket to the the elite, asians get a ticket to apply to med school)

As for development in California the most interesting line of thought is this:

What if the insanely high costs of construction that we see are real? If San Francisco grows up vertically like Hong Kong, where does the water come from? Can new development pay for the infrastructure that supports it?

Which hasn't solved anything in California, since they had massive power outages last year, despite buying large numbers of batteries allegedly for grid stabilization.
They presented an approach which was not cache optimized which also showed significant gains. And of course they used a lot of cores, they're comparing against a v100, which is a $7k gpu (maybe $5k if you're lucky).
World cup in korea was in 2002... between then and now, many generations (sizes) of semicondctors have been 'invented' (..the method to produce them) and replaced with smaller ones.

There is a table on the right, and there are rougly 2-3 years between 'generations' - so 2-3 years between starting a new production line of top-of-the-line flagship (eg.) cpus, to making a new production line for even newer, "smaller" (transitors) cpus, and the old line making other, cheaper ones.

I'm not saying that Johnny Sixpack can do it in his garage, but companies like Intel, AMD, samsung, etc. surely could do it in that timeframe, because they're already doing it now.

It certainly seems valid, but in context of all of the other protections it's difficult to say for sure if is or not.

I think time will tell that ANY cluster setup is a high risk for smaller businesses. The amount of knowledge needed to run it in production is much higher than to set it up.

I have setup Kubernetes but never run it myself in production. But I work with a Hashicorp equivalent setup with Docker, Nomad and Consul. I also have several Service Fabric clusters. I think it all is just a complete waste of money. Buying services/metal in the cloud or going serverless or whatever is cheaper and with much lower risks for most minor businesses.

If I were looking for a job, I would really only consider a 10+ hour "take-home" interview if I already had extensive dialog with the employer, met their team, and determined proper fit given my background. I also don't know if I would be willing to put in the time if I was still competing with others for the same position. I know that I would not be able to put in as much free time as others, and devoting that much time to something that might only be used as a measure for comparison is a waste of my time.

I am not aware of any software package that implements these algorithms, although I am working towards creating or contributing to a python library that does. Ideally I'd publish a paper in a few months showing how the results (e.g, ranking of importance) differs from the independent case on particular datasets.

Yeah, .cc are the good guys.
JS is good enough for most cases. Besides, author is missing a BIG point here: we, 99% of web devs, have never stepped beyond setting up a virtual host in Apache. What I mean is that we have no clue how to properly deal with server performance and security. Hacked lately? Most of the code out there is made by small shops and consultants who cannot afford a server ninja nor have the time to (also) master that skill; and shouldn't do it anyway: remember specialization equals progress? So, even with cloudware solving most of the performance related issues, security is still on the hands of the devs. Take my example: buy a DO droplet, get a LAMP image, install framework, follow security best practices, get hacked, rinse and repeat.

So, fat-rich-messy clients will be the norm and BAAS providers will get richer selling services that take away the headache of running a server. Too bad JS is the only option to program them clients.

The stats in this table are terribly out of date. I'm not criticizing your post, just pointing it out. Also odd the authors of this article chose to publish 2 numbers for the U.S. I interpret them for corresponding to 2004/1993, which means there was a significant difference between those two years, not the rate is between those numbers.
