So you're not rebutting the quote?

Presumably, if Quora offered him money to come back they found his contribution valuable.
Used Vagrant a few years ago, but almost completely moved to Docker, it doesn't make sense to have a massive VM image anymore.

Use Packer for all AMI building, probably one of the easiest tools to get started with.

Use Consul for service discovery with consul-template and envconsul, all work nicely together.

Terraform. I've been using for the past few months, but it has its problems. Modules use can be very tricky to manage, with no real guidelines on how to use them or TF itself. The isolation can be more complex than say, Cloudformation, which has its faults too. With CFN you have a concept of a infra stack, which will share common resources, with supplementary stacks providing additional resources. Unless you are happy to have a load of main.tf files in sub directories, which seems to be the pattern, you end up with a giant load of TF as one "stack". The benefit is never hard coding things, which you are probably going to do with CFN, plus you have a much better scope of changing resources in TF, but if you don't need that, TF can offer little over CFN with a language to generate it, like CFNDSL or troposphere.

We also regularly break though our AWS API limits for TF because it touches so many things, if you have TF in a single git repo with multiple hooks, your TF can take a long time to actually plan. Recently, I did a plan on 0.7 to see what the impact was for upgrading, without realising that it would overwrite the state file to comply with 0.7, making it impossible to switch back to 0.6. I did roll back to a previous version of the state, but even that caused some issues that I had to manually resolve.

Finally, Atlas. I would say that it is far from complete. There are a lot of things that UI is missing. The API for atlas is also non existent, so you have to use the UI constantly unless you want to auto deploy, which is probably fine for a dev environment, but not production. If you have a plan apply that needs manual intervention, it will sit there while commits pile up above it, so you either let apply and let atlas hit your account with massive amounts of API calls, or you cancel all the plans currently being blocked. It obviously works very different with say S3 and using TF from a CI, but i'm not sure how much focus there is on Atlas vs other products. Atlas also doesn't let you set up things like organisational access tokens, for Atlas itself and for Github. Right now, if we removed someone from our Github or Atlas org, stuff will simply break.

Everyone here seems to be paid to say how bad tracking is, then on other thread you see people say they love Apple, windows 10, gmail reading their email.

I vote my government and they do what I ask for (this democracy after all) and I think payment tracking is a good thing especially for tax-evasion.

Nobody votes for those corporations and still there's people that love to have their privacy violated.

(I'm not putting too much effort in these comments because HN is a big bubble where tracking is bad, encryption is good and the same people advocating for privacy use proprietary software meh...)

This might create some complicated situations when the older versions become free and somebody decides to fork it to fix bugs that are present in the old (free) version, but fixed in later (not-free) releases. I believe then you end up with the question was this fix back ported from new version or did the developer come up with it independently.

Systemd reinvents mount(8) with systemd-mount
They were originally "backend as a service," basically a smart layer over mongo. They charged pretty obscene rates per request, but now it's all open source so no worries about that.

They provide a nice dashboard for creating Mongo collections (which they call Classes).

You write "cloud code" in JavaScript. You can write beforeSave and afterSave functions which are triggered before/after you save a document. You can also write "cloud functions" which execute within parse-server and interact with the database.

The result of this is that you can perform a lot of heavy lifting and consistency logic in one place, "the cloud." That way you can build clients in multiple languages (like an iOS app, Android app, web app) that only need to worry about their platform specific details.

Their original value prop was for building mobile apps, but since the ecosystem is pretty mature with a client in every language, I find the benefits extend to writing multiple clients for any purpose.
I think the people who remember the (proto-)Internet being "a US only thing" are hardly more than a few hands full. Because that would have been when there were maybe a few dozen servers or so, exclusively in either military installations or educational institutions. (And, also, well before it was called "Internet".)

When the Internet went transnational, it was more or less universities-only for quite some time. Still not many people around, then. People mostly used English as a language, for the simple reason that nearly everybody knows it. It's just the simplest and most sensible option.

When the Internet finally really entered the public consciousness in the mid-90's - quite a bit after the first web server outside of Europe was set up in Stanford in 1991 - it had been a transnational thing for longer than not.
It's a shame that they don't ship it by like that by default. Even if it's "easy" to customize it's still is frustrating trying to explain it to computer illiterate relatives.
That's the point though. To learn Hungarian or Swedish, you'll have to learn the spoken language, and then reading and writing comes essentially for free.

In Chinese, you have to learn the spoken language, and then you have spend just as much time (if not more) to learn the written language.

Many Chinese characters do contain elements of meaning and elements of pronunciation, but that doesn't mean that you don't have to learn them.

"Dilapidated" contains elements of its meaning in the root lapis = stone, but you'd be hard pressed to deduce the meaning from it.

This is mixing up "cash". Cash is produced by your country's mint (a public body), and comprises around 3-5% of available on-demand "money".

Private banks produce electronic debt which is fungible with "cash". This is available "on demand" as cash but only if you wish to withdraw less than the 5% which has a physical representation. The rest is available on demand to transfer as electronic banker-debt/credit into another part of the banking system.

The vast majority of the private bank debt is issued via lending against land.

I don't take issue with the use of cash in the drug trade, I'm unconvinced removing cash would see this fixed, most likely barter would take place instead.

I just wished to take issue with the fast and loose "cash is public".

This is the complete opposite of what is happening.

Most HFT firms, if they're not already colocated in Carteret or Mahwah, are located in Secaucus, NJ.

What do you think the government is comprised of? If you think communism is unworkable because of human nature, what makes you think that getting the people who make the rules to make rules against themselves will be any easier?
The destruction of privacy also means that the minority has zero protection against the majority. If the majority imposes an oppressive law, like prohibiting financial transactions with people of a certain nationality, or requiring people to hand over 1/3rd of their income for programs that enrich the political establishment and their donors, there is no way to circumvent the law.

I hereby resolve to use cash as often as I possibly can, to show in my own small way that "the market" still demands the cash option.

> A nodejs reverse proxy forks the API and static web requests between tomcat and another nodejs static webserver.

Just curious why you don't use nginx here. It will serve static files and proxy to the API. I'm sure the nodejs proxy was easy enough, but adding in gzipping files, rewrite rules, SSL, etc and it seems like nginx would even end up being more simple.
To me, SoundCloud feels like a whole other domain of music distribution. I listen to a lot of small artists, all of whom are mainly based on SoundCloud. It serves as a place to catch up with their new release and what they like ( using the repost system ). And practically all of the artists who actually sell their music, put up links to BandCamp for people to purchase their tracks from.
Interesting. I very rarely search whole albums on YT but often rock and metal.

Start with a random metal track in mind an I find I get a band mix suggestion, a nordic folk metal mix, 11 more tracks from the same band, 3 tracks I listened to very recently, 4 connected other artists and "5 CREEPIEST Old Found Footages - Recommended for you" as a perfect example of the crap being injected recently. They must notice I've never once clicked one.

I do clear cookies and history periodically, so perhaps not having a multiple year history counts against.
What we need is an opt-in ad platform. For example I like reading sci-fi books and usually peruse Amazon’s catalogs to find new ones. But Amazon’s recommendation engine doesn’t seem to work that well, it’s just too broad. Other than that my options to find interesting reads are either niche sites/blogs which I rarely have the time to bother looking or friends’ recommendations. Wouldn’t it be nice if publishers could contact me with tailored to my needs recommendations based on genre, books I liked and what not. I wouldn’t mind been bombarded with ads if they’re related to my hobbies, not some random search I did on Google two weeks ago. It seems that the whole ad industry got so comfy with profiling that they never bothered moving forward trying new things.
Tracking isn't the problem to prevent tax avoidance at the point where avoidance becomes immoral.

UK last month: Grosvenor dies leaving 9bn GBP in land to his son. We have inheritance tax in the UK, the son should have received a bill of several billion which would fund our health service.

They know where all the assets are, but the UK govt has a special loophole for rich people: trusts. The son inherits the full 9bn GBP.

It's all tracked but the UK is totally corrupt.

Given the above example how will the state act against the rich when all "money" is tracked because it's electronic? They won't touch them.
I am a fan, and a user, of Google Cloud, Azure, and AWS: because of extra APIs and services.

However I find the price differences for plain VPSs between these platforms and more bare bone VPS providers like OVH and dedicated server providers like Hetzner to be surprising. I understand that sometimes you get what you pay for in reliability, fast networks, etc. but still the price difference is huge.

I like having a single large memory, multiple core VPS for fast development and earlier this year I would spin a GCE instance up and down as needed. I transitioned several months ago to an always on large memory OVH VPS, much more convenient. When I need more cores and memory Hetzner has incredible pricing on dedicated servers.
Some programmers don't understand latency, so there's no hope for anyone who's not familiar with software development to wrap their head around the concept of "yes, things happen in milliseconds".

Which makes it all the more easier to get away with anything that sounds as sensational as this.

This can be worked on from two directions. I'd be shocked if we didn't manage to make any progress into slowing down old age. With a 120 year old lifespan and the perspective finding things even better when you come back, people may be willing to invest 50 year into this.
MySQL replaced mSQL [miniSQL]. A bare minimum SQL server that didn't even have table joins. But was used with PHP on the web regardless. Because the alternate was to code your own text file database. MySQL was so much better over it all.

One of the HN Guidelines is to avoid that introductory bit:

You can just spin the rest of the craft as well. No moving parts required.
>Asymmetric warfare can never be won

I used to think that too - then I started listening to the Martyr made podcast (which is epic) - and in one of the stories he talks about the Arab revolt in British mandated Palestine, and how the British dealt with that. They didn't give a hoot about civilian casualties, on the contrary they went in as hard as possible in creating them.

No point in tracing down the insurgents who just attacked you, just go to the nearest village, rape, pillage, loot, rape and castrate, then force the inhabitants to blow up their own houses, charge them for the cost of the explosives and the soldiers time. Do so consistently after every attack, and pretty soon the Arabs were blaming themselves for their fate, and hating the insurgents - and that is how you win a counter insurgency.

What you will have trouble doing is winning a counter insurgency while being _nice_. Even then the US army did get a lot of territories from the muj during the battle of Faluja.
It's more efficient if you have a lot of words with the same pronounciation.
> The fact that China has kept using them, despite a very pragmatic government that wanted to move the language more phonetic, should say something about their utility.

Or just inertia. Norway has had a steady stream of language reforms over the last century aimed at bringing the official written language better into sync with a majority of spoken dialects. This is a result of hundreds of years of Danish rule that ended in 1814, followed by the period of national-romanticism in the period up to the subsequent break from Sweden, that led to a lot of desire to make language etc. more uniquely Norwegian.

As a simple example, we inherited parts of Danish counting.

It used to be in some parts of the country that we'd say "fire og tyve" for 24 - literally "four and twenty". This was changed to "tjuefire" (twentyfour) in the early 1950's. Anyone who has learned Norwegian in school since then has learned the new form in school and been marked down for using the old forms etc.

Despite that, and being born to parents who were in primary school when this had just changed and who learned the new forms, I still regularly use the old form.

I never learned it at school, and I occasionally had teachers complain about it. I don't use it consistently, to make matters worse - it's not a conscious choice to use a more conservative style or anything, it's just habit I picked up mostly from my dad, which is persisting in my spoken language now, when I'm 41, despite having changed in a language reform a couple of decades before I was born.

This is a difference where there's no practical benefit at all to the old form - it's longer, and the new form is more consistent with spoken Norwegian overall -, yet more than half a century later the old form still persists out of habit.

In particular, trying to engineer changes to language tends to take a long time even when there's no resistance to the change.

That's a fantasy view of how military engagement works. The whole argument that the US military has advanced tech, particularly air power, therefore “your guns” are useless is demonstrably false. If it were true, you wouldn't have Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. Having millions of people armed with things like AR-15 or AK-47 is an effective form of dictatorship prevention.

The problem, however, is that you have to have those people actually want to fight a dictatorship. I don't live in the US, so I might be wrong, but it seems to me that most people, not all, most, in the so called gun culture there are more than willing to bend over and be servile to authorities, with dictatorship prevention being just a noble sounding excuse to have fun shooting soda bottles in their backyards (nothing wrong with that).
Those examples seem like standard image processing to me, could someone explain why a neural network is useful for these?
