The only issue with going against the grain here if you're not putting your site itself behind a cdn. It'll vary in download rates across the global. This was the intended use case for CDNs, but analytics are added so CDNs can improve.

You're correct with the fact that they are tracking us, but there's a trade off that comes with this that holds tremendous value. If that value of speed isn't a factor or low on your list of priorities then by all means, sever everything.
It's a bit of an apples/oranges comparison to compare SVD to PCA. SVD is a numerical technique, whereas PCA is a method to analyze a dataset. You can use SVD to perform PCA (although there are other ways to perform PCA without explicitly doing a SVD). I'm guessing that the GP performed PCA using SVD. There's a good Stack Exchange answer to exactly this question here:

> most of the C code by volume is things that could perfectly well be implemented in Emacs Lisp itself,

A substantial part of the GNU Emacs core is written in C: the byte code virtual machine, the core Emacs Lisp language implementation, loading/saving images, memory management, ... That's not implementable in the current Lisp architecture (which additionally is single threaded).

If we want to move more of the language implementation in Lisp, that's possible - see implementations like SBCL or Clozure CL. Porting/maintaining these seems more difficult. But then you can implement regexes and other stuff in Lisp.
I agree with you. Having tasted the emacs way, I'm constantly frustrated (actually I just simply avoid) by interactions with software that isn't so inspectable, and malleable. Still, never blocking user input is a respectable goal for an editor, and a design philosophy I wish emacs would seriously pursue. I would not mind a "feature" freeze on emacs for the remainder of the decade if it meant absolute responsive editing with asynchronous operations.
In the US I get "Sorry! This content is not available in your country yet." Interesting.

You're mental model makes some strange and seemingly contradictory assumptions. It seems like your assuming that would be drug users are completely irrational when weighing the intrinsic consequences of drug-use like large ill-health effect, and great risk of addiction, but are very rational when weighing the legal costs of drugs use. Maybe you can help explain this? I would be surprised if the legal costs were even a third of the long term damage done by addiction, not to mention behavioral studies tell us its not the magnitude of the punishment but the likelihood. And judging from people I've met hard drugs are more likely to ruin lives through addiction* than the legal system.

Also when people argue for legal drugs the vast majority are arguing for end-users to have the ability to purchase drugs through a regulated system, not the ability to air drone a pound of heroin to your house at a moments notice. The two most important regulations in my mind should be age restriction(to stop children) and a waiting period(like 3 months to stop impulse buys).

*Knew 4-6 people over my life who had their lives ruined through hard drug use, and no-one who's life was ruined through the direct legal consequences of hard drug use.

We updated the website so it's a bit more clear.

And for further clarification, your bill would probably be slightly higher than the minimum, but quite honestly, we wouldn't feel comfortable taking you on as a client for quite some time.

As we grow and move downstream, we'll lower prices and expand our offering. It sounds like you're just downstream; nothing to get upset about. Just wait and eventually we'll make sense for you too.
Most of the companies that we work with actually aren't in SF either.

Think of it as an AWS analogue. If you are a company running some large predictable number of servers with a constant load, it's probably cheapest to just have a rack of servers, if the scale can cover the people to maintain them. If you have varying loads across different days and seasons though, AWS might make a lot of sense since you don't have to pay for servers sitting around idle. That flexibility comes at a premium.

To take it a step further, if you're a slightly smaller company that values time and agility and doesn't have a large dev ops team in-house, you might want to use a PaaS, like Heroku.

As someone who previously worked in an ISP / webhosting datacenter and now sees most younger devs as people who don't actually know how their stuff runs ("it's in the cloud"), this is an amusing comment.

"The cloud" is just marketing on top of shared hosting and virtual private servers. Those things have been around for decades. At the end of the day, your code is still executing on some poor Xeon out there, but maybe it's using some kernel features to restrict memory access and you deploy it using a fancy whale with a shipping container. We've had LXC, cgroups, jails, and xen for many years as well (LXC was 2008, Xen 2003). Solaris had zones in ~2004. We have SSDs, DDR4, 10GbE, and 32-core-per-socket Xeons now, so you don't have to really give two shits about crazy amounts of random reads / writes, storing state in 4 separate network-connected nosql systems with REST APIs, 4 layers of reverse proxies, 3 layers of virtualization, and 60-frame-deep call stacks as most stuff just works well enough with little thought put into the systems aspect of it. Despite all of this, Google Sheets is less responsive than the 1985 release of Excel, and takes longer in wall-clock time to enter in 100 rows of integers, then sum up a column.

I just created two 512MB Ubuntu instances and here are my thoughts. (+ indicates positive, - indicates negative, ? question)

+ You can use private networking for cross-instance communication.
+ You can even communicate with other AWS services by using VPC peering.
+ Hourly billing.
- The firewall rules are not shared. You can't create a single rule and attach to multiple instances.
? What are the network throughput caps? Can't find it anywhere?
? Are the disk physical or using EBS?
? Can you snapshot a running instance, or does it have to stopped?
The "transfer to Lightsail" step (from another AWS resource) is free, as long as you use the private IP.
Going Diamond: on Amway
If you read the fine print, the price and performance isn't actually as good as Digital Ocean and a few other similar services, so unless you actually are using AWS services AND need your VM to be in the same VPC or data center as the services, then it doesn't make sense.
Snaps are just a package format, an alternative to .deb which puts control of updates in the hands of the upstream. They enable an upstream to deliver a set of stable releases across versions of Ubuntu and other distros. In this case, it means Docker Inc can offer 1.x, 2.x, 3.x of Docker and provide security and feature updates directly.

So your main argument is privacy, not letting Google collect users' data, but then consider that most of your users are probably using Chrome, everything they type in the URL box is sent to Google (for autocompletion) anyway.

Is looking at some comics website even a privacy problem? Let's say google finds out your user X looks at your website. What possible damage can they do? Sell it to the advertisers so they can target X with some comics ad? If you ran a medical site, I would get it.

Then you have to give up other cool things like Google Analytics.

Google annual revenue is $75B, Facebook annual revenue is $18B. The total Internet advertising spending this year is about $250B [1], and total advertising combined is $600B [2]. Google and Facebook combined account for only about 30% of Internet advertising, and 15% of total advertising.

They get the lion's share of attention because they're the biggest players, but that doesn't mean they're the only ones, or even that they own a majority of the market. People in general are not well-equipped to process the idea of a long-tail, where disparate players collectively make up a majority of the market but aren't identifiable as a single organization. By the numbers, there's room for about 400 $400M companies in the space of the online advertising market not claimed by Google and Facebook, or alternatively, for 1.6M sole proprietors who each earn a six-figure income on ad revenue alone.

Twitter, BTW, makes a very respectable $2B+/year in revenue. Their problem is that their cost structure assumes that they're going to beat Facebook; they're supporting 4000 employees with fat salaries & option packages on that revenue (Facebook, with 8x the revenue, has only 4x the employees). If they fired half their employees they could easily be profitable. And the company in the article probably has no more than a few dozen employees, hence its massive profitability.

Docker and LXD don't compete. Docker is great for running clustered processes - cloud-native apps - where Docker gives you hyperelasticity. CS Docker Engine provides more coordination facilities for those cloud-native apps.

LXD is more like KVM in that gives you "guests" that feel like a full OS. You can run existing apps in there in exactly the same way you would run them in a VM.

So these are two counterparts in the container continuum, and it's useful to understand them both so you use the right thing at the right time.

Insecurity is taken for granted far too often and the defaults often don't help either.
In a sense, yes. You're using the product of the dumper. It's used to create an image of the state of the running system during the emacs build, and then delivered to end users like us as part of the emacs installation. That executable image state is loaded, and then your .emacs is called.

For a comparable model, check out the way Smalltalk images (particularly with Squeak and now Pharo) are distributed.

For kicks, try running "emacs-undumped". It's the base version without everything loaded (the dump-file), and part of what's used for creating the dump file during the emacs build process. At least for me it's pretty much unusable thanks to the terminal colors that it seems to insist on using for plain text.

People aren't computers, they don't just run the company culture program in their brains. Sure, developers are influenced by company culture, but they contribute to it as well.

At one end of the spectrum, you have junior devs, fresh out of school, highly susceptible to the effects of company culture. At the other, you have senior devs with more than a decade of experience, who do a great deal to set the tone and shape the culture.

Thank about what kind of cultural influence you get from a senior dev who has accumulated more than ten years of experience of moving fast and breaking things. That's a lesson that I found very hard to learn: just because someone has lots of experience and skill and knowledge, doesn't mean they are better developers.

Mind you, I'm not saying the blame for the state of our industry lies solely with devs. I agree with you that it's the management that has the last word, but that doesn't absolve the rest of us of all responsibility.

Function programming with no garbage collector is tough. There is a formalisation for dealing with this, called linear logic, which allows you to statically determine object lifetimes; but it's, um, a bit awkward. Such as, every value must be produced once and consumed once, so if you want to look at a variable, you need to produce a new variable with the same value (which must be consumed later).

The seminal linearly typed language is Linear Lisp, which is almost incomprehensible, and also a proof-of-concept which doesn't do anything useful. Classic paper here:

http://home.pipeline.com/~hbaker1/LinearLisp.html

The closest thing to a modern language that uses them exclusively (Rust doesn't, by the way) is LinearML, which was an experimental toy, now abandoned. Tutorial here, which may be interesting:

https://github.com/pikatchu/LinearML/wiki/Tutorial

I asked about it on StackOverflow a while back, and it collected a bunch of useful resources, including links to some of the seminal papers:
