Lambda has a fairly generous free tier.

Here are the details on pricing:

https://aws.amazon.com/lambda/pricing/

You get up to 1M requests / month and 400,000 GB-seconds of compute time per month.

A default lambda function uses 128 MB of ram (0.125 GB), which gives you about 3.2 M seconds of compute time (time actually spent executing requests) every month for free.

Thus if you have functions that take 500 ms on average, and use the default amount of RAM, you can process about 6.4 M requests in a month for a total bill of $1.20.

Above the free tier limits you pay $0.20 per million requests, and $0.1667 per million GB-seconds.

The pricing is fairly attractive.
Do what I did (unintentionally): suggest that they reject a major, name, researcher's paper because it's an unintelligible mess with no real results. I never had to review a paper again.

Which is kind of a pity. I liked doing that, including learning enough about the topic to make something like intelligent comments.
It could be an optional tag like [dead] or [flagged].
Does this apply for academic links as well? I.e. can we post a mirror to a paywalled study?
If what you are saying is true, why is the US the leading tech innovator by a wide margin? The entire bay is centered on the concept of disruption via innovation.

It doesn't seem like it would be too much work to automate the paywall workaround by automatically redirecting people through Google. Is there a reason this isn't being done? Seems like better UX.
On a small scale. There's no way that model will support decades-long, large collaboration work.
>It is the site's job (HN's job) to provide usable links to its readers.

No, the site's job is to aggregate links and provide a platform for discussion. Providing usable links is the responsibility of the people posting the links - other readers. Links which don't generate quality discussion will be killed any number of ways, but the quality of user-generated content is entirely on the users generating it.

In this case, the value of being able to discuss certain kinds of content with minor workarounds is greater than not having that content at all.
What I don't understand is how in the US in the 1920s the tax rate was in the single digits while deficit was negative (!) and debt was low [1], while today tax rates are at 40%, deficit is about 17% (!) of budget and debt is over 100% GDP. What on earth went wrong?

> the value of articles that a bunch of people can't read

"Paywalls with workarounds" means people can read them. Obviously we care about that—we've explicitly let everyone know that users are welcome to help each other do so.

Re value, people disagree about value judgments but someone has to make the call, and it's the same now as it has always been.

I can at least tell you what it's based on: HN wants to maximize the quality of the articles on the front page and the quality of the comments in the threads. Sites like the NYT and the New Yorker increase the former. Repetitive complaining about paywalls reduces the latter. Hence the above.
Some states forbid Hauptschule and Realschule, and some states forbid G9 and/or Kursoberstufe.

It’s quite a large debate.
I'm really enjoying this series. We started using kubernetes at work a few weeks ago and detailed documentation like this is pretty hard to find.

Kamal, what resources are you using to learn the information in these posts?
Some people may benefit from the academic exercise: How many caches are utilized in serving a typical website? (Assume a LAMP-like stack; if your number is less than about seven keep thinking)
This isn't correct. Look at the number of small business owners in the US. It's a minority, but it's not some tiny elite like your comment leads people to believe.

It doesn't take much for a regular person to start a business. If they provide a good the population likes at a reasonable price, they will succeed.
I think this is a key thing to notice about Alda. It doesn't attempt to provide abstractions for things like keys, scales, or even measures and time signatures. It's more like writing Markdown: you already know what you want to write; it just gives you a way to represent it in a compact way and turn it into something you can hear back without having to reason too much about what you've written. I want Alda to be as close as possible to a sheet of staff paper that you can write notes on. MML is a very similar language in this regard. The idea is that it's up to the composer to write down the exact notes he/she wants, exactly how he/she wants them.

I realize this is disappointing if you're looking for something with more abstractions, but on the bright side, I think there are some great languages out there that do exactly that. If you haven't already, have a look at Music-Suite ( http://music-suite.github.io/docs/ref ) and Overtone ( http://overtone.github.io ), along with the Leipzig library, which adds functional programming abstractions for use with Overtone ( https://github.com/ctford/leipzig )
It is a kit for developing software i.e. an SDK. Yes, right now it is very limited - it has only recently been made public, it is still in the very early stages. In addition, the limitations of current code execution methods (not fully public at present - the exploit used is public, code execution method is still private) inflict limitations on the software being developed.

Nonetheless, this is an SDK capable of producing software that can be run on the PS4, and so the title of PS4 SDK is perfectly apt. It never claims to be from Sony, and it should be evident to anyone with even a vague familiarity with homebrew/console hacking that it is not associated with them in anyway. And most HN users would be able to tell from looking at the code that it is very much bare bones and thus unlikely to be published by the company that made the console.
It seems we understand that phrase differently. People certainly have not stopped talking about it.
Just click on the link and you'll find out if it is paywalled or not.

Why should someone else spend all the effort to code up a solution to your problem when you believe it is beneath you to click on a link and find out for yourself?
But those are automated. I've added "manually" above to clarify why I fear this.

And there is a lot of discussion about it, and people hate it. Schleswig-Holstein has currently forbidden Hauptschule and Realschule, and there were discussions about also remove Gymnasien, but that idea was quickly thrown away.

Currently, in Kronshagen there is now an Integrierte Gesamtschule mit gymnasialer Oberstufe, which is already one of the first schools of the "one size fits all" kind.

There is a charitable way of looking at the same data.
I really struggle to think of what sort of legal tech would help you interview a poor client that may not speak english better than a good grasp of Spanish and a pad of paper. These are not complex cases with tons of moving parts. As for legal research--your example of finding factually on-point cases is exactly what existing search algorithms do the worst job of.

Maybe I'm pessimistic. But the gap between promises and actuality in the legal tech field is very wide, at present, so I'm really skeptical when I hear about how it will help solve what is really a political/social problem.
The article can probably be succinctly summarized as "Premature optimization is the root of all evil". Most of the authors points are valid, in that caching adds more complexity.

That said, caching is absolutely critical to almost every piece of software ever. Even if you explicitly caching isn't used, a wide variety of caches are likely still being depending upon including CPU caching (L1, L2, L3), OS filesystem caching, DNS caching, ARP caching, etc etc.

Caching certainly adds complexity but it's also one of the best patterns for solving a wide range of performance problems. I would recommend developers spend more time learning and understanding the complexities so that they can make use of caching correctly and without applying it as a premature optimization.
> I thought the western justice system existed mainly to inhibit crime

Personally I think the western justice system is more about pusishing crimimals than inhibiting crime.
You can get addresses from Google if you supply the coordinates. I don't know if this is how they do it, but it would be easy.
I’d like to complain: For me, from Germany, the Paywall workarounds for WSJ do NOT work at all. This means I can’t read those articles, and have to use proxies to do so. This is not acceptable.

EDIT: One solution would be to use a link to a webcache, or screenshot, waybackmachine, or similar
I don't think that's very good advice in a heavily-loaded shared hosting environment. A disk read could easily stall for tens of seconds, just because the kernel whimsically decided to throw out the cache (or because your server crowded its memory container). I actually don't want any server touching a disk while it's serving. Everything should be read before service begins and never again.
Yes, it's tempting to try to automate the problem away, or at least reduce it through software. But see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10179116.
It says "random". I assume that the valid fields are defined using some syntax or another, and then populated from random generators or lists.
I disagree.

The news sites have made the economic calculation that allowing access to traffic from content aggregators like Google (which is the price of being discoverable by Google) is worthwhile.

The idea that only sufficiently large aggregators/traffic sources should get a special pass seems preposterous; anyone trying to enforce would be engaged in downright anticompetitive behavior.

It doesn't seem to be specific about the exact type of exercise. Any idea on what's a good upper body exercise? Push-ups, bench press, shoulder press, etc? Some people say wrist curls are good because they build up the forearms.
Given that he's quitting academia to become a stay-at-home dad (along with his YouTube/book endeavors), it's highly likely that his wife has a more remunerative profession than he does, and that that reality also figured into his decision. I doubt that affording basic necessities will be a concern of his.
That's kinda weird reasoning. Are you saying there's no benefit to an improvement of median latency, if the tail latency remains long? I would disagree. I also would point out that not all systems that can benefit from a cache are latency-sensitive.
> There's no "pent-up demand" waiting to be unlocked by advertising.

This is why any economic recovery plans that don't focus on growing the income of middle- and lower-class americans is doomed to fail. The rich can already buy anything they want, and they're saving like crazy. Until we unleash more demand from the lower- and middle-class, all efforts are futile.

It's also why we should be focusing on, and supporting, raises in the minimum wage, reductions in work weeks (more demand for leisure goods and services), and decreased tax burden on the middle class.

This necessarily implies a (potentially dramatic) increase in taxes on the wealthy. They can afford it. If someone claims they'll cut and run to a tax haven country -- let them. We'll do better without them around.
Either of you please email me with your backer number and I can refund you or turn what you paid into a donation to Médecins Sans Frontières if you are not happy.

I am very pleased with what is there so far, think it genuinely captures all the best bits in an accessible way. I am most proud of the Escher and Evaluator bits and associated projects.

I have lots more partially complete, feel I have a fair bit of momentum now and do still intend to make videos as I said in the update to backers, backers will see them first. I am genuinely sorry it has taken so long to get this out.

I think I was quite fair minded re: pricing etc during the kickstarter. I changed it from a sliding scale to allowing unlimited people taking the lowest amount (£20), then created a 'pay what you can' tier and invited people to switch to it if they wished.

I can imagine that you'd run into all kinds of legal issues when you use the address of some unknowing stranger as your own for whatever, probably not the most trustworthy, purpose.

Same here in Spain, I think it's geoIP based.
Add random errors to this, and you have the perfect way to test a universal address parser.
If your goal is to "preserve" the wilderness, running a trail through it was an obvious mistake. That's not the goal and never has been.
Apparently yes, think what would happen if HN would lose Nature, Science, Cell, IEEE, etc. original content!
Ignoring the problems with public defenders for a moment, technology could help a lot in other areas, such as:

1. Providing access to (supposedly publicly accessible) court records.

2. Automated document preparation for common situations.

3. An expert system to guide people to which documents (re: #2) they need, or if they should seek the assistance of an actual lawyer.

The goal is to allow people to interact with the legal system on their own in simple/common situations, without having to pay for a lawyer or wait for someone to help them pro bono. This would give more options to the poor or otherwise disadvantaged, who often have to simply ignore injustices or make unreasonable concessions because they lack the funds to even talk to a lawyer. This would even help in cases where a lawyer would have to be involved: it might be easier to find pro bono help if you have some of the background work already done.

#1 and #2 should fairly trivial for someone with some legal experience; there are many easy ways to implements database of documents, and numerous template systems already exist.
I used to work on desktop apps doing interesting stuff with large and/or soft-realtime data. Now I am working on a Ph.D. in CS. I decided I would not be happy in the long term unless I'm doing research-level work. Even though I was developing products much more interesting than the typical CRUD app, I was still spending lots of time on GUIs, undo systems, file IO, etc. I want to avoid that kind of work as much as possible in the future.
In that sort of environment, I wouldn't be surprised if your app's internal cache ended up paged out anyway...

I don't quite get that letter. The IEEE has plenty of write-only conferences that are not in scenic locales; anyone who actually goes doesn't even get a good vacation, so no one actually attends. But it's still a publication.

Implementing SQL PREPARE for sqlite
Hello !

I was thinking for a long time that sqlite3 and fossil are nice projects but
lacking a central repository that anyone can clone and try to extend/hack
then and share with others like github makes cooperation harder than it need
be. I saw several times people mention on mailing lists that they have some
extensions/modifications to sqlite and offering it to ones that ask for.

Then I found this https://github.com/mackyle/sqlite that follow
https://www.sqlite.org with less than a day lag, would be nice if the sqlite
author create and maintained a mirror on github to centralize third part
works/contributions, there was a section on sqlite/wiki for contributors but
it was closed long ago.

So here is my fork on github with the intention to implement "SQL PREPARE"
following the postgresql implementation
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/static/sql-prepare.html it has a simple
public user facing interface "PREPARE/EXECUTE/DEALLOCATE", I followed the
actual implementations of virtual tables and triggers to get the parser and
dummy functions to be called by the parser, so far it seems to accept and
parse something like this:

PREPARE astmt(id integer, name text) AS select 1 as id, 'dad' as name;

EXECUTE astmt(1, 'blue');

DEALLOCATE astmt;

Now I need to implement the empty functions to actually make it do the real
work.

I'm asking and inviting anyone interested to help implement this with the
same license as sqlite.

Here is the links to my fork, go there fork it and let's share the
implementation of it.

https://github.com/mingodad/sqlite/tree/sql-prepared

https://github.com/mingodad/sqlite/commit/3b53199a9d853f98946ffa6ea665fc7357fc4be7

I chose this as the first attempt because it has interesting characteristics
it will open the road for a kind of stored procedure because we can pass
arbitrary parameters to then and also they should return zero or more rows
with varying columns.

Cheers !
Would it be practical to introduce a tag system which lets each user manage their own list?
War propaganda is very prevalent in US media.
Great, i'm looking forward to see that talk. To me, it seems that the only way you can make sure that an implementation is correct, is either via extensive testing ( and when talking about acid property over a distributed system, i think the kind of simulator fdb built is a requirement), or run a theorem proover ofer your source code, ala Coq. But i've never heard of any code analysis tool that is able to guarantee properties over a distributed system.

But, since i'm absolutely not working on the field, i'm really looking forward to see what professional people like you are finding to tackle those issues.
Several of those don't have real or full paywalls anymore.

I was thinking more of Elsevier, which actively sues websites that publish mirrors of papers (see https://torrentfreak.com/elsevier-cracks-down-on-pirated-sci...).

I think you might be overestimating the clout and importance of the head of the Swedish bar association. Why is this such a dealbreaker to you?

In any case, she has actually made some comments regarding the case. Primarily in Swedish media, but a quick search yielded a few articles such as this one: http://www.theguardian.com/media/2015/feb/25/julian-assange-...

> Swedish legal opinion at a senior level has swung against the prosecutor’s decision not to travel to London to interview Assange, with Anne Ramberg, head of the Bar Association, calling the current impasse a “circus”.

> “It would of course after such a long time be sensible for the prosecutor to determine whether to prosecute,” she said. “The Assange story has become a less than flattering adventure not only for the English courts’ handling of the case, but also for the Swedish prosecutor.”
I commented about this at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10179203, though it isn't a complete answer.
I have no idea why you were downvoted (and physically couldn't downvote you as a direct reply, but anyway). I think I agree that Al Capone was nominally punished for a crime that wasn't one of the crimes he really ought to be punished for (although it was in fact also a crime). But on the other hand, I'm not sure that I think a seven-year sentence would have really been sufficient for the fullness of his crimes.

Perhaps more importantly, if Wikipedia's account is to be believed, he lost the tax evasion case because he had bad lawyers: first, one who admitted to the facts of the crime, and second, an initial defense team who didn't raise objections they could have raised. So I don't think the Capone example contradicts my claims in the end. We need defense lawyers for actual, unquestionable criminals because they have the singular goal of making sure people aren't unfairly or vindictively prosecuted. We understand that having just a prosecutor and a judge risks unjust outcomes. So it's unsurprising that wasn't the passive-voice "approach taken" with him: a trial without good defense is expected not to lead to a just approach, just as much as a trial without good prosecution or a good judge.

At best it's not clear what your point is or what position you're espousing, which I think is a mostly valid reason for downvote-and-move-on. For instance, it's not clear whether you think the prosecution of Capone was just or unjust.
Because not writing onsite instead of "no r3mote" so people searching keywords get this listing as a result.
Most suburbs are incredibly easy to walk in. As newish development almost all have sidewalks and are on residential streets.

Are you going to walk to a grocery store? Probably not. But if your goal is walking there is no problem.
I don't know. If the situation changes, we can adapt.
We need smart tools that can automatically make programs utilize a cache. That way, we can have the best of both worlds.

Further, i asked for references because i have never seen any debates about any of this. So far: No links or explanations on where or how this is being discussed, only vague claims.

This is pretty cool. Good work!

Couple things come to mind.

1. Is there a way to play a selected segment of the music rather than the whole file? While composing, replaying a segment over and over again is quite common. Don't want to start from the beginning every single time.

2. Is there a way to produce music sheet (PDF or PNG) from the source? There would be really useful.

3. Is there a way to format the notes into measures? I know the | is optional and ignored. Can the program do reformat and automatically divides the notes into measures?

4. Emacs integration would be great. Using Emacs to edit. Do ^X^E to execute the program to play the selected segment.
No, I was referring to the fact that there was basically no alternative graphics system in the mainstream.

You could choose among different windows servers, desktop systems etc, but all of these would only run on top of X11/Xorg. Compatibility with other implementations both at protocol and interface levels was barely even nominal. Whenever X11/Xorg development stalled or hit problems etc, the entire desktop ecosystem was screwed, often for long periods.

Now we're going to see this happen with basically the entire userland. If distributions keep pushing it, systemd is going to become "X11 for userland", regardless of its actual quality.
