Q: What happens during failover and how long does it take?

Failover is automatically handled by Amazon Aurora so that your applications can resume database operations as quickly as possible without manual administrative intervention.

If you have an Amazon Aurora Replica, in the same or a different Availability Zone, when failing over, Amazon Aurora flips the canonical name record (CNAME) for your DB Instance to point at the healthy replica, which is in turn is promoted to become the new primary. Start-to-finish, failover typically completes within a minute.

If you do not have an Amazon Aurora Replica (i.e. single instance), Aurora will first attempt to create a new DB Instance in the same Availability Zone as the original instance. If unable to do so, Aurora will attempt to create a new DB Instance in a different Availability Zone. From start to finish, failover typically completes in under 15 minutes.

Your application should retry database connections in the event of connection loss.
How would you recommend getting further acquainted with 6502 Assembly? After reading 'Easy 6502' (https://skilldrick.github.io/easy6502/), I'm not sure where to go after that. Awesome project, btw!

There's a difference between "complex" and "has no closed-form solution".

It's actually a very simple calculation.

But fwiw, a lot of thought and tests have gone into showing that gravity works the same way with feather and bowling balls. With big masses and many little ones. If you have a reason to think it doesn't, discuss it and propose tests...
This is very interesting! Any plan to add .net core support?

Currently, there is a lack of mocking library in .net core space. This would be a good alternative for light weight stubs.

Getting a bit into the weeds here, I pulled 250-500 out of my ass. Perhaps you'd be happier with 200-400, but I was just giving an approximate range of the sort of thing necessary and contrasting with the other commentor.

Free speech means that you can say whatever you want without government persecution. You do not however have the right to dictate what individual people think or how they respond to what you say. So if the people doing the monitoring are government employees who's job is to monitor then yes this is censorship. If they are private citizens then it is in no way censorship <edit>unless they are being compelled to do so by government</edit>.
White supremacists among many other domestic and international terrorists have committed many deadly terrorist attacks in the United States (the death toll is lead by Islamic terrorists).

Of course they do. That's how an iPod could play FairPlay content without a network connection. They didn't strip the DRM upon upload the the iPod.

I'm sure the Netflix files on your iPad are still DRMed. They just give you some kind of key that's only good for a limited amount of time.
> How is it not censorship when somebody actively monitors what is posted on Twitter and makes a judgement on whether or not that post is appropriate? What is appropriate and how does free speech equate to that in your mind?

Do you ever downvote comments or flag stories here on Hacker News? Do you think that is censorship? Do you think it is appropriate?

> If you're new to AWS but know Docker (like me) then Docker for AWS seems like a winner.

I'd disagree. It seems you still need to know AWS well enough to setup the various prerequisites. If you're new to AWS but know Docker, you're far better off with something like Convox (which does support docker-compose files)

This is pretty good. I'm currently paying about $3.50/mo for my existing t2.nano-based reserved VPS, and this provides a lot more space and bandwidth for not much more money. If they offered it with a reserved-instance discount, it would be even more compelling.

His reaction didn't just fall out of the sky, one does not interact with somebody in good faith and then get a reaction like that immediately. That is the response of somebody who's sick and tired of liberals.

> I hope society never succumbs to their desires and normalizes denigrating speech

This is already happened, you can denigrate conservatives or anybody to the right of you easily, look at all the histrionics surrounding Trump. People are saying he's hitler UNIRONICALLY. We've blown by your line in the sand a long time ago.
As a tech worker in research, I think my salary was at least 50% higher than many of the "staff scientists" and postdocs. This was a huge problem, as you can imagine.

80% of postdocs I ran into came from either China or Russia. Almost all of them were "disposable" from our point of view. Long hours, low pay, little reward. Despite reaching out to them to build friendships, it was incredibly rare for them to do anything but socialize in their small postdoc circles consisting of people from the same province in China or whatever.

The best part is, from their point of view, they were here to take advantage of our "advanced" research infrastructure until they had enough experience to duplicate it back home. Fair trade, I think.
I am a Node.js developer and practically speaking you should probably learn that.

But so far I haven't heard anyone mention the Nim programming language which can compile to JavaScript or C and has what I consider to be superior syntax and excellent performance as well as great metaprogramming capabilities. See http://nim-lang.org

He wasn't wrong, it does add serious interface complexity.

But we all know that it's a very desirable feature and most people are willing to pay for that complexity to be able to watch offline.

So it was mostly spin, like Steve Jobs saying they'd never make a tablet at a point where it had to be in final development internally.
> Yes, this meant that Windows was by design a worse platform in terms of the end user experience than, say, Mac OS, but it was far more powerful and extensible, an approach that paid off with millions of line of business apps that even today keep Windows at the center of business.

Is there any validity to this? I don't do much OS-level programming, but is the Win32 API really that much more powerful and extensible?
I haven't used Azure, so I'm a bit confused. Do you mean something with different capabilities than Google Cloud Tools for Visual Studio? https://cloud.google.com/visual-studio/
Thanks for your answer.

This is such an interesting (and kind of worrying) problem. It's one of those problems where the obvious solution is only solving the obvious problem. As you have pointed out there is a more underlying problem that hides underneath and which you only know of if you know the well enough.

I need to think about this some more to understand why that is and why an incentive structure can't be created.

You gave me a new perspective on things today, thanks for that.
There are some non-original content movies and such too.

Re: users auth. Isn't that what Cognito is supposed to be? I mean, I don't fully understand it, but I think so.

As for the cold boot issue, I thought the standing solution was to have a "fast-exit" ping-like code-path within the lambda. Query it on a regular basis (you can even do it with a lambda scheduled-event). That way your lambda should be kept warm.
Can you expand on that? Everyone I've spoken with about HIPAA say that most companies don't even bother to comply and that nobody is enforcing it. Then again, these people work for companies that are small enough they've never had a breach.
> But for a complex system, I prefer what Google will produce

Having worked there in teams near to their tablets I really think Amazon would have a hard time producing software of the complexity of Android or Chrome.
we can start off by calling them white supremacists rather than alt-right.
I would encourage anyone who wants a truly open source IDP platform to consider the Gluu Server[1]. The Gluu Server supports open web standards for authentication and authorization, including SAML 2.0, OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, UMA, FIDO U2F, SCIM, and LDAP. It is one of the only--perhaps the only--enterprise-grade identity and access management platform that can be used in production, with an unlimited number of users, without paying a license.

A thousand times this. Emacs and vim are both guilty of failing this most basic principle. It frustrates me to no end that a text editor will hang while font locking text, or printing repl results.

I think the rub is that this code appears to be intended for "production" (or at least use on public roads), given the fact that it's published by a company that has tested its products on open roads?

Congratulations on being alive again?

Polygon said there are some non-Netflix movies that are available for download.

I too am very curious what the download policy is. I think you only get a few days on Amazon or stuff you copy off your TiVo so I wonder how much time Netflix gives you.
How is it holding anyone hostage? How does someone posting opinions on reddit, twitter, or whatever harm you in any way?

Unless they are harassing you about it (in which case first step is to block them), I don't see how this is a problem.

Does being aware of other's opinions and/or reading about them hurt you somehow?
I'd say: network network network. Meet people that work at companies that might want freelancers.

Or look on remote job boards and email those companies directly. If you're just beginning, be willing to work for a bit less to get your foot in the door.

How to automate development with Atom
FBI to gain expanded hacking powers as Senate effort to block fails
It's not that simple, I think. FPGA development is extremely labor intensive, both in design and especially in verification and testing. Large scale designs increase both the time needed for synthesis, verification labor, and testing, by a lot. If you don't have extremely large scale or resource intensive designs, this probably isn't for you anyway. Making the FPGAs more readily available is good for a lot of reasons, and opens the market to some new stuff, but it doesn't necessarily dramatically change the true costs of actually developing the designs in the first place.

Basically, you're not going to deploy fabric live to your customers without having extensively tested it on your real world, production hardware setup, even if it's just a separate lab with identical hardware. That's going to be going on throughout the entire development lifecycle, and for anything remotely complex you can expect that to be a long process. You're going to be using that F1 server a lot for the development, so you have to factor in that cost. If you're a solo/small place you can probably amortize it somewhat thanks to The Cloud, however (reserved instances, on demand batching, etc).
Are you talking about this? you left out a word.

Simply point to your data in Amazon S3
Emacs has two init stages, you only see the latter.

The first is what gets it to the dump file.

The second is where your personal .emacs file gets loaded and executed.

The first is the one that takes too long and motivated them to create the dumper system to begin with, and needs some resolution (elimination and making that first init process faster, switching to a serialization of the objects rather than the C program memory, or something else).
Secrets of the Most Productive People: 2016
This is a somewhat odd use-case, but does anyone know - do you have to transfer the data to S3? What if I just needed an extra 100-300TB of local storage for 10 days? Let's say for a backup during a move, or something like that. The description reads like this is possible, even if it's an unusual way to use the device.
Took a look, their terms of service are awful. Here's a few:

3,3,1 - Clients may not open multiple personal accounts under any circumstance.

3,3,2 - Clients may not give other persons access to their accounts.

Or living together. Thanks to government, in most Western countries (including the U.S.) even living together binds you to the same or almost the same contract as marrying.
It is. We have MOOCs now, and ebooks, and online encyclopedias.

But it's like those synthetic diamonds: It doesn't matter how much shinier, purer and cheaper they are, they will never replace "real" diamonds because the whole purpose of diamonds as a status symbol is that they are expensive.
No problem!

I didn't see that from skimming; if it was bootloaders, well, they have a max size of 512 bytes (on x86) so virtually all bootloaders load in stages, with a tiny bootloader that loads the "real" bootloader.

This sounds pretty simple to test empirically.
Reflectacles: Anti-Surveillance Reflective Eyewear
It doesn't appear that Lightsail actually allows hooking up data volumes. This is a surprising regression considering AWS basically invented it, and a major downside compared to DO.

So network-attached storage for Lightsail is upside for AWS, but all downside for the customer.
Given the long term strategy of DigitalOcean and how vastly different it is from what AWS seems to be executing on, I don't think this announcement actually changes things for DO that much. There is a mass consolidation about to happen in the IaaS space and it's smart for AWS to capture some amount of that.
Having tried it on my phone, I think that you may have failed to account for the orientation of the device. The single column was better on my phone, as it was portrait. On my desktop the multi column version was better presumably as it was landscape.

I don't really care. My $6/month deal beats any $5/month deal from the major players, and by a huge margin. I recently tested the internet speed on it, and I got 850 real Mbps out of the promised 1Gbps channel, which is good enough for me. I can give Memcached 1GB of RAM and not worry about killing everything else.

I have a bunch of sites running on it without stepping on each other, and I doubt that would be the case on AWS / Google / DO.
I think people should be allowed with some form of training, just like driving is and having babies should be.

Hi, I'd be very interested to be a part of that... PM if you need more hands
What would fixing it right look like?

Make elisp faster. Easier said than done. Any easy wins already happened.

Introduce various lazy loading mechanisms and switch to that by default. That doesn't help any third party plugins that people might use. In fact any such work could create ways of breaking the expectations of said plugins!

Identify/eliminate work spent on dead code paths in initial load. Again, easier said than done. And there are bound to be a lot of, "I don't see what that is useful for, but what third party plugins might need it?"

In the meantime, end users faced with the choice of a slow new release versus a fast old one, will resist upgrading. And if there is a patch that simply makes things fast, that is generally acceptable.

The current moment provides pressure to do things right. If the cheap fix is taken, there are no guarantees on when there will be another opportunity like this one. But pressures exist to take the easy out right now. And if taken, it won't be easier next time either.
Because C compiles to machine code and computers only understand machine code.
I'm not sure that I agree with your point. DC networks (see David Chaum's work and also Dissent by Corrigan-Gibbs and Ford) have no centralized components and provide stronger anonymity than Vuvuzela. However, they are not very efficient for large user bases. This is different from being "impossible" though.

The attack that you are describing seems to be a denial of service rather than a privacy violation. Centralized systems have similar issues though (your ISP could simply block packets to such system, one of the malicious centralized servers could refuse to process messages, etc.).

For complex designs the simulator that comes with the Vivado tools (Mentor's modelsim) is not going to cut it. I wonder if they are working on deals with Mentor (or competitors Cadence and Synopsys) to license their full-featured simulators.

Even better, maybe Amazon (and others getting into this space like Intel and Microsoft) will put their weight behind an open source VHDL/Verilog simulator. A few exist but they are pretty slow and way behind the curve in language support. Heck, maybe they can drive adoption of one of the up-and-coming HDL's like chisel, or create one even better. A guy can dream...
That sounds a bit vague to me, too. Does that mean I have to upgrade to the next bigger instance (with more bandwith included), or can I just create a new equal-sized instance before(!) deleting the previous one?
There must be something you can run on the server that will do this for you. I agree that Amazon should offer it in front of the server, but there are options.
We're wasting too much $$ on stupid shit like Uber.
