Oracle totally and freely threw away every bit of goodwill that Sun had fostered over the years, when they bought the company. Chunked it in the dumpster out back, didn't care.

The "old" Sun: Encouraged hobbyist use of hardware, put out software under a "free unless you need to pay for support" term, open-sourced Solaris [1], was generous with hardware donations [2] to various organizations, and realized that if a sysadmin liked playing with Sun gear at home, they were more likely to recommend it at work.

The "new" Sun: Oracle flips everyone the bird with both hands, won't even communicate with you unless it's about a paid support contract.

[1] I was lucky to be one of the 250 people picked as the OpenSolaris test/release/publicity team; still have my "xxx of 250" poster print on the wall of my home office.
[2] They gave a Netra T1 and a disk shelf to us to run the Sun-Managers mailing list with, told me to keep a review-unit T1000 to run sunhelp.org on, and sent me a loaded Ultra 10 after a bit of a "misunderstanding". These are just three examples of many, many instances.

Also we'll see many service businesses (e.g. restaurants, theaters, public garages, malls) offering electric car charging for free or for a smallish fee depending on their type. So, instead of going to a gas station, you would go to a nearest mall, let the car charging while you do the shopping.
The same is true for me. Not having work at work leaves me more worn out.

Or, possibly worse than having no work, having small amounts of annoying work, but nothing else. The worse is when all I have to do all day is this one annoying bug I havn't been able to figure out. It should take 2 hours to solve but it ends up taking three days.

I'm most energized when I start a new project and I have lots of stuff to build.

A single married developer, not much. But a team of married developers maybe a lot.
do you find it alarming that governments (including the US) use official twitter and facebook accounts? Why should this be any different?
How is a computer looking at the applicant data, including their faces, more insidious than humans looking at it? In either case the company could claim they were totally not paying attention to skin color.
I think it depends a lot on the specifics. Of course, there are certainly lots of Americans who are both poorer than the author and work harder. But in the US, the very poorest people tend to be those who don't work at all, or only work part-time. People who live their whole life in a small town with one or two big employers, which move away when the economy crashes; people whose skills go out-of-date, and can't afford a retraining program; people who may be hard workers, but just really suck at interviewing, and always get rejected; people who want to work more, but their employer only gives them a few odd hours a day, and no one else wants to hire them when their schedule is unreliable; people who get job offers in other cities, but can't afford to move. This underclass doesn't work that many hours, and some would call them "lazy", but I think it's usually more like despair. It's terribly depressing to be broke, to not know if you can do anything other people see as valuable, and to have nothing better to do than watch TV or play video games.
I did an analysis on my own time once, ignoring the breakdown of my work day and just focusing on overall time available:

1130-0000 - prepare for bed, relax
0000-0600 - sleep (roughly)
0600-0700 - stuff (shower, shave, personal email)
0700-1630 - work + lunch + commutes

So I had 7 hours each day I was "leaving on the table". Most of it was spent on TV or video games, possibly socializing. I felt exhausted from work so I didn't want to do anything. But realizing I was "wasting"[0] 35 hours a week of my time. Reprioritized, started going to the gym, setting aside the block between work and gym for language study or reading. By the time the gym is done, while I may be tired, I'm in a totally different mental frame from work and can actually get work done on my side projects or more reading or more socializing (that shower after leaves me feeling refreshed, even when I feel like I've been hit by a freight train after BJJ takedown practices).

[0] In the sense that I had things I wanted to do but they never got completed due to poor prioritization.
It started lightly, but became appalling during the first Bush administration (into Clinton, second Bush and Obama and soon Trump). It just got called QE when it became a tool to buffer against the inevitable failing industries. The report that was published detailing, the reserve's manipulation, stopped being issued in the 90's. I can't seem to find out if that information is now published somewhere else. I assume so.
Why would I troll about that? It looks a little small but otherwise OK to me. I can click on the pagination just fine. There are a lot of variables, especially with android when it comes to screen size, font, etc, so I'm guessing it just comes down to that.
> Explosions and threats of explosions bring many kids (middle/high school/freshmen) into it.

That was exactly why I was a chemistry nerd in high school and almost made a career out of it. Veered off in a different direction ultimately, but I still have what are to me fond memories (not so fond for everyone else around me subjected to "side effects" from the "experiments").

Still not clear how I avoided getting thrown in prison for all the crazy stuff. I'd be terrified if my kids attempted the same things.
This is correct, even for Arctic regions.

According to [1], net production of carbon in Alaskan Arctic regions is about 0.14 kg / meter-squared, per year. But soil content is about 14 kg / meter-squared. Crudely, that means 100 years of net carbon production would be sequestered in soil carbon.

Having worked at AWS for a number of years, I had difficulty keeping track of all the new features/services when I was there. If I were still there, I would have given up :-) But I do think that overall, it's better for both the customers and the company.

As to some concerns about diluted focus, service teams operate with great deal of autonomy. From what I have seen, features are driven by teams, and often as a result of conversations with customers.

> I'm having a hard time conceptualizing what kind of logic you would run on these edge functions?

Two use cases:

1) Routing Facebook and Twitter to a pre-rendered version of your single page app based on their user agents.

2) Adding custom headers to your responses, e.g. for a Content Security Policy.

There is no good way to do either of those things currently. You could have one off options for each of those and the 50 other common use cases, but this is actually a really elegant solution. Very well done.

In my opinion, reimplementing ZFS from scratch would cost at least $100 million and take 5 to 10 years of development by many talented people. Given that we already have the source code under the CDDL and it is good enough, no one is willing to spend that kind of money. Why would they? There is no business case.

If anything, Oracle's software patents are a case against it because they could sue a clean room implementation like they did with Android's Java implementation. They would have a stronger case too due to the hundreds of patents covering ZFS. That is the elephant in the room with btrfs that no one discusses. :/

Anyway, I see no need to reimplement ZFS from scratch after consultation with attorneys of the SFLC and others.

Linux has been beating BSD for at least 8-10 years when it comes to TCP. When it comes to new features in TCP-land, Linux easily beats it. Google added Receive Side Scaling / Receive Flow Steering to Linux years ago, and it is still a WIP in FreeBSD as an example. Also take a look at much of the bufferbloat research recently that has been merged into Linux, etc.

trains in singapore themselves are private sector. SMRT is a publically traded company. If their trains keep exhibiting this problem, they run the risk of losing their contract to run the circle line to ComfortDelGro (or possibly an upstart competitor).

Probably the handoff to data.sg was probably done because it doesn't necessarily make sense for them to maintain a separate data science division within the company.

And as far as cities like Delhi being covered in dangerous smog: it has more to do with city/town planning than climate change alone. Most of India's "pollution-creating" populace is situated in cities. You and I both know how congested our cities are. The only way to fix this issue is decongestion. One positive outlook is the "100 smart cities plan" announced by Prime Minister. That should enable urban population to spread out. Factories will automatically move out of these over-populated cities reducing pollution.

Coastal villages being flooded with sea water is definitely a big concern. That is the direct impact of climate change and the only way to fix it is reducing CO2 emissions. However, the fix for it doesn't lie with India alone. India produces only 1.8t of emissions per capita. US, China, EU have to take the lead. Only then will it have any meaningful impact. With the US threatening to back out of Paris climate deal, the silver lining that existed for reversing/stopping climate change is at the verge of disappearing. Trump's climate change denial is going to cost the World dearly. It may not affect you and I today, but the impact will definitely be felt by future generations.

Daft Punk's lead singer is telling you to get back to work.
Yes, the HN thread is prominent in the article.
Of course not. But it still explains what this new feature does that AWS wasn't able to do previously.
And the idea here is that you have a large parallelizeable problem but you don't need the Hadoop ecosystem? To put it another way, why not just use EMR?
